Even that bit seems to be shifting. Recent avant-garde fashion is already being bolder with translucent fabrics and edgier cuts in the breast area¹. These are the kind of dresses and tops where a bra is not just optional, but really out of the question.

The Covid lockdowns also seem to have had an effect on the wearing of bras with plenty of people with smaller breasts ditching them completely (my wife did) or going for bralettes instead.

LOL, this is ridiculous.

All computing is "fundamental math".

That there are some known set of algorithms in the mathematical toolbox that are used is irrelevant.

The question is, how are those tools put together, what are their inputs, and how are those inputs weighted.

> everything is a number

I don't think C consistently lives up to this principle:

- In the memory model, even simple integers can hold "poison" values.

- Pointers usually behave like integer addresses, but in the memory model they have "provenance" (edit: spelling), and they also have to follow "strict aliasing" rules.

- Signed integer overflow is UB. We could ignore integer promotion rules most of the time, if not for this restriction.

- Even simple integer assignment isn't simple when an integer is shared between threads. Atomic orderings are hilariously complicated.

I worry that a lot of people who find delight in C just...aren't aware of these rules? Or maybe aren't consistently aware? Or maybe are aware but think that some violations are benign?
Yes, this is essentially it. There's a shape to the causal connections in the real machine that must be respected at higher levels of abstraction. In particular, the shape I mean is that basic mechanism of computation where you have a program counter, instructions and data in mutable memory (von Neumann), and a CPU with registers that "starts on the upper left" of memory, and leaves interesting shaped smears behind when it's done.

On top of this machine shape the OS adds a process abstraction, and a method to speak to devices. It is not coincidence that this process shape looks like the machine shape: lines of source correspond to instructions, declared structures correspond to main memory.... And from here we programmers pick a coordinate system and begin to build. But whatever coords we pick the space, the degrees-of-freedom, always the same: as vast as Turing could fathom. The interesting part of coordinate systems is the kinds of shapes you get for the constraints you picked. But Haskell seems to be a coordinate system with some valid constraint ideas (clear division between purity and side-effect, immutability), but an invalid sense of its identity as merely one coordinate system within this larger structure.

I am wondering whether this is smoke-and-mirrors greenwashing with a side of deflection, versus a significant boost to Cobalt recycling.

Economics:

(A) If 10% of Cobalt is already recycled, but only 5% is used by companies that want to advertise their green credentials, then there is unlikely to be much extra demand for recycled Cobalt so approximately zero extra production of it,

(B) If corporations are only willing to pay a little extra for recycled Cobalt, then there is little extra production of recycled Cobalt. The price will clear near the 10% usage mark.

(C) Even at a high price for recycled Cobalt, if there is a high marginal cost for increasing recycling then little extra Cobalt will be recycled (e.g. if we are already recycling most of what economically can be).

(D) Without very detailed PhD level analysis, the dollars spent is the best proxy for ecological damage. A high price for recycled Cobalt might be doing nothing for the environment, or even be damaging the environment more.

> But let’s be honest with the math and how supply chains work?

I am trying to be. I do question whether Apple Inc is trying to be.

I do hope that Apple’s efforts do improve the world. Apple are one of the biggest economic actors on the planet, so they have the real capacity to make a true positive ecological difference.

Longer software updates to extend device lifetimes would be a true signal they cared about the environment. For example I have seen too many iPads that become obsolete even though the hardware is still working great. If Apple don’t use signals like that, we can presume that they care more about profits. I am 100% fine if Apple choose to see profits as policy, so long as they are honest about it.

I am definitely not a specialist in this area, yet to me there are obvious gaping holes in their narrative which make it seem like they are performing environmental theatre instead of ecologically sound engineering. It is carefully constructed advertising - whether there is any meat in it is the question.

Whether we can discover the underlying truth is another matter.

Supposedly the electronics were too complicated for a shop to diagnose and fix the car on the spot, but I imagine the real problem is that diagnosing non-obvious problems is tough for anyone to do on the spot because all mainline service centers for the big manufacturers are weeks behind and can't just squeeze in the 4 man hours it might take to tear down and diagnose random problems. Older cars and systems were cheaper and easier to diagnose, but they also probably broke down once a year or more, while I had no issues with a 80k miles-in-2-years 2018 Honda Accord and still going strong with a 60k mile no-maintenance 2020 Tesla Model 3 SR+.

Trust-less information was the norm for most of history.

The past century has really been an anomaly when it came to trusting news, with photos and videos seeming to be reliable proof. Before that, societies had to be structured very differently to account for the lack of proof.
You'd hear people from out of town talking about what they saw in a neighboring city.

You'd need to judge how trustworthy the person was.

People would expect a chain of narration, to understand how _that_ person came to learn a bit of information (or if they claimed to witness it first hand).

As AI generated content becomes more popular, I predict we as a society are going to go back to relying more and more on the reputation of the speakers in question.

Who might you consider reputable? People you've met personally, people who your community respects, and of course, influencers who you follow who's persuasive words match your pre-existing world views. Perhaps something else will emerge

"A Neuro-vector-symbolic Architecture for Solving Raven's Progressive Matrices" (2023) https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.04571 :

> […] our proposed neuro-vector-symbolic architecture (NVSA) [implements] powerful operators on high-dimensional distributed representations that serve as a common language between neural networks and symbolic AI. The efficacy of NVSA is demonstrated by solving the Raven's progressive matrices datasets. Compared to state-of-the-art deep neural network and neuro-symbolic approaches, end-to-end training of NVSA achieves a new record of 87.7% average accuracy in RAVEN, and 88.1% in I-RAVEN datasets. Moreover, compared to the symbolic reasoning within the neuro-symbolic approaches, the probabilistic reasoning of NVSA with less expensive operations on the distributed representations is two orders of magnitude faster.
I'm seeing it more going the other way. Over the past few years so many services have been bought by bigger corps or even media companies. These bigger companies seem to be able to undercut the competition. Causing things like this I guess.

Though it's anyone's guess what has happened as service over time had deteriorated quite drastically.

Probably a custom PostgreSQL extension for BSON support.

The biggest issue right now is that MongoDB compares and sorts values differently than PostgreSQL/jsonb. For that reason, we have to do a lot of filtering on the FerretDB side, and that can't be great for performance. Pushing more work on the database size should make FerretDB perform much better.

Rosa Parks Lane & Guerrero Street is one block away from Valencia Street.

I used to live in the area around the same time. I walked Guerrero frequently to go grocery shopping and get to my gym, usually between 7:00pm and 10:00pm. That easily could have been me. Needless to say I don't live there anymore.
"And on average those local NPRs get 8% of their funding from government."

NPR itself [1] says that figure is 13 percent, counting state governments. In either case, I am comfortable that NPR is editorially independent but also comfortable saying that without government money, it's a podcast network.

The power of the purse is the power to pull strings even if that power is not currently being used, and even if the marionette would scream really loudly if the strings were pulled. I don't think "state-affiliated" was a fair label. "Government-funded" was, and NPR is damaging its credibility more than Twitter could by pitching a fit over it.

I see you keep editing, so I'll respond to the latest version of your comment:

Assuming an ML-based methodology (and I would not personally assume that), yes, the training data, the resultant weights, and the algorithm itself would be of interest, though at least the last two would be necessary.

algorithm: a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.

Is user data, that's used to train, part of the process? I don't think so. It's an input to the algorithm. In the case of ML, the input is the only thing that matters.

Semantics, but I think it's incredibly important. It's the difference between posturing and actually affecting change.
It's a wonderful peak into how languages might have evolved in the past.

One day a bard is passing through some village or other and, having recently traveled to the far east, tells stories of the reclusive hikikomori of Japan. A young fella at the tavern hears the stories and is inspired to grow up to be a bard himself so he too can travel to the far east. But! He goes a little too far south and - mistaking the Yellow Sea for the Sea of Japan - swims across to the Korean peninsula bringing an invasive new word in his pocket.

I believe the point GP was making was that the "algorithm" is not the important part, and is actually reasonably easy to reverse engineer if it's not just copied wholesale from an existing algorithm. The important part is the weights used in the algorithm. Since the weights are input, and usually semi-unique to the user, they would be considered private information.

For example, I could tell you that the "sorting algorithm" I use to foo my bars is ksort[0]. But that's not really meaningful information without also knowing what the keys are.

Reminds me of other tools from the past that "allow development with out a developer". With fancy drag and drop UIs that look like circuit diagrams. In trying one you very quickly find out that you still need a developer. Because the easy happy path that the biz analyst thinks of is like 1-10% of what we do. 90% of our job is the plethora of edge cases and sad paths. The retrying. The when not to retry case within the retry case.

Does these language model bots help a little? Sure! But my worry of being replaced is currently sitting at like a 3% out of 100%. I expect to still have a job right up until we have AGIs, and quite probably for long after, as not everyone will be able to afford them. That is assuming we have any meaningful control over them.
Actually I think it's because they don't want to spend the money to create sanitised international departure spaces.

It's a mistake that means that one can't transit through the US without passing through US immigration (which typically takes hours). Hong Kong which I pass through a lot is more like a train station, you can get off of one plane and onto another in an hour or two, just have to pass through a bag check. This means that non-US people choose to fly through other countries, on other countrys' airlines just because the US is an impassible bloc for many

In fact you can do that, and I've already built a tool for my own use that does something very similar. It works surprisingly well, and the specs (prompts) you write get checked into VCS and act as a form of literate programming that can help explain the resulting code better than comments do.

It's funny, I was actually just pondering what to do with it when I opened HN and came across your comment. I was thinking of improving it some more and then selling it for a low-ish price. One thing that'd really help though, is a more widely accessible GPT-4 API.
tl;dr -> I agree that the terminology is probably not something that enhances cohesion amongst devs using Haskell, and certainly can be distracting in a pedagogical setting.

I think the fact your experience leads you to believe that a monad is an interface for sequential computation. A monad is often used for ordering computations, but Haskell’s monads can also be commutative (like the Reader instance of monad) which do not order anything.

The real issue is that the naming convention where some typeclass is named after a concept in category theory means wildly different things to different developers. For instance, I would expect a type/typeclass named for some categorical construct to behave in the way the categorical construct behaves and that would be the extent of what I use it for. However, some developer may see a particular usage the same construct and extrapolate that said construct is intrinsically tied to that algorithmic pattern of usage.

So the problem is controlling expectation and managing consistency throughout the dev community. I doubt Haskell will ever get away from the category theory inspired libraries and the subsequent naming conventions. See the relatively lively development of the profunctor optics based work. But, I can certainly see how it may distract or confuse newcomers.
