Understatement of the week... pretty much everything on a boat has a different word for it. Often for practical reasons, sometimes purely traditional reasons. It is nice because it binds one to nautical tradition leading back centuries/millenia.

Australia, even with a 2 party preferred, still often has smaller parties hold the balance of power. Often this is quite beneficial since the big party has to water down their ambitions.

Well yeah, that's kinda the whole point of Erlang in the first place :)
Don't give it yearbook photos, it seems to hallucinate things in them. At least it identified Paul Rudd pretty easily!

He is surrounded by a few other people, who are standing around him in various poses. The photo seems to capture a social gathering or event where everyone is having a good time and enjoying each other's company.

I’m not getting into a 7T ever. You feel loopy when you get up from it so it clearly does something to your brain. No way.
(Windows) File associations database is part of the OS, no? How is it different what you need?

Search is best done via Everything by Voidtools, which is instant, though it doesn't connect to this database, but instead uses manually entered lists of extensions

But you could write integration that extracts the list from the OS database and dumps it in Everything's lists

Or you could integrate Everything in you file manager and then add the OS file associations integration there
And now with the origin story, I won’t forget which is which.

Even if this risks an IRS judgement against them, a savvy company might want to take such a judgement to court, and let a jury decide.
>> You only need 35% to win in Indias multiparty elections.<<

That reinforces my point.

>>This is enabled because EVMs<<

This EVM story has been peddled by your ilk ad-infinitum but with no substance.

If that were the case, BJP should be winning all state elections right? Delhi, WestBengal, Rajasthan…

So as and when party of your choice win, EVMs are good when opposition party wins , oh they are manipulated.
No citation but in times of inflation the reasoning makes sense to me: a slave would not earn a wage, but the owner would have to provide a roof/bed/food + pay for whatever transportation was needed to/from work + pay for healthcare in case the return on investment would be worth it (probably would?).

An (immigrant) worker gets none of that and might barely be able to get by even without counting the healthcare (in the US).

Sounds to me like a slave might indeed be cheaper in some/many situations than a minimum wage worker. I'm not convinced either way.
Hi HN, Logto v1.2.0 just arrived with Redis cache support, new translations, new Management APIs, etc. etc. Please don't hesitate to let us know any thoughts you have.
A bit ridiculous seeing the much-maligned "trending on artstation" keywords on nVidia's own tech demo page.
Likely not. It’s more about knowing the connection strengths and the myriad list of neurotransmitters that combine to form complex networks.
I think that Prolog will rise again. If you have an hour to kill, check out this video introduction by Markus Triska about what makes Prolog unique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XUutFBbUrg

Recently I have been working on getting Trealla Prolog to run in WebAssembly. Support is quite good now, with an easy-to-use JS library[1], Go library[2], and is now one of the best-supported languages for the Spin runtime[3]. I think it's particularly nice for validations, you can write some simple Prolog rules and run the same code on the client and the server now. I would like to explore this more with a dedicated library at some point. Built-in features like DCGs make parsing/generating all kinds of data trivial. I love it.

I think the biggest barrier to Prolog adoption is that it has a really steep learning curve, and most people get burnt by half-assed introductions in college that tick the 'talked about logic programming' box in the syllabus. You really have to think in a completely different way to write a good Prolog program. But, once you get the right mindset, it makes solving complex problems incredibly easy.

I don't really buy the argument that Datalog is enough. Most Datalog implementations I've seen hack on a bunch of extensions to do things like list membership. It would be awesome to see some serious effort put into an efficient Prolog-based database. The closest thing I can think of is TerminusDB, which I've never used but I wish I could convince my company to try it out ;).

My dream is to have some kind of magical serverless persistent Prolog interpreter in the cloud. That's where I hope to take this Wasm stuff at some point. Can you imagine how powerful it would be to use Prolog instead of GraphQL or whatever? Prolog is IMO the perfect language for querying things, with a 1:1 correspondence to how you write the data. It's like SQL without all the ugly bits (I like SQL too, of course). If this sounds cool to you, check out the paper/book on Web Prolog[4] which is a fascinating dive into what a Prolog-based networked query system could look like.

Oh wow, so RV's use the "starboard" side for loading. lol
It's a tool that will allow 1 man to do the work of 10, 50 or 100. People with capital/money do not need to fear it as it will allow them to get work multiple times their investment than previously but people that do the work should worry as the value/money for the work they do collectively will decrease so the salaries they get individually will also decrease.

When you take into account each year the cost of electricity because of solar as well as the price of chips coming down. The cost of running a LLM in 10 years will be 1-2% of what it is today.

Nothing brings progress as fast as war/competition with the billions being spent by the largest companies openly and by countries behind closed doors on this tech to think this is what will be is a very myopic view.
Update Regarding Reddit’s API – changes to how third party apps access content
This article has a point but takes about 6x the words to get to it, and the writing is not enjoyable enough to make up the extra time spent. ChatGPT to the rescue!

https://smmry.com/https://harpers.org/archive/2023/05/the-ag...

My own digestion:

Capitalism as a paradigm worked because wage corresponded both to economic value and identity.

It is failing because wage is still attached to economic value, but less so identity. So people feel "what's the point of work" more and more.

This trend has always been the case since the 1920s. To counteract the trend, an "entrepreneurial ethic" mindset came in the 1970s, which did bandaid it for a bit, but ultimately failed because most employees aren't doing entrepreneurial work.

The current social debate to fix it has two sides. One brings us back to the idea of meaningful work, the other envisions what a post-work society looks like. But in the meantime, we're stuck getting used to a life where "work has no meaning" and this is shaping our discourse, attitude, and outlook, ultimately our art and culture as well.

And a bit of analysis:

Whether you fall into the 1) "entrepreneurial ethic" bucket (work is meaningful if you do what you are passionate about), the 2) "restore meaning to work" bucket (make america great again, bring back our ability to create, get reconnected to what we consume and use), or the 3) "post-working world" bucket (automation will make work obsolete, let's setup UBI), the frustrating thing IMO is not current situation BUT how poorly positioned our infrastructure (government, legal and political systems) are at facing the current situation.

They seem to get in the way of solving the problem instead of solving it, which is what most people are expecting their taxes to go to (we pay good money for this!).
Knowledge isn’t meaningless. Knowledge is awesome. Maybe it’s more available now, but that just means you can get more of it more easily.

AI is assisting work but that just means we can do bigger things.

I think of work like this: do you see anything in the world that doesn’t work right? Anything broken or not how it should be? That’s available work. Fixing it will be satisfying and will create value. The world will never be perfect. That just means there’ll always be work to do.

Find the things in this world that sing to you that they could be made better. Go and fix them and you will discover a life worth living and work worth doing.

Will things change? Sure. Learning to deal with uncertainty is one of the great lessons of life. Do I think we should all give up and go sit on the couch? Sometimes, but I suit up and show up the next day.
I would ask you to introspect what you truly love doing and figure out how you can do it (by learning, practice, experiments etc.,).

Remember that everyone starts off by having very limited knowledge (on any specific topic). They gain wisdom and experience through their life. They may become competent master practitioners with experience (but still remain novices in some other aspects).
Interesting point. The headline refers to "salary" but the article refers to "income". The former is narrower than the latter, but both would exclude gifts, which are not considered income from a tax perspective.

I wonder what would happen if someone set up a GoFundMe that people could donate to. Gift tax wouldn't be implicated (that only applies when a single donor gives more than $16k to a single donee), and the transfer would not be income (at least so far as the tax code definition is concerned).
Also at Meta. The software stack is a shit show - xplat debugging in Vscode can’t even print the variables properly. This hacker culture is good at shipping shitty stuff and getting your bonus/promo and moving on.
The Steam deck already runs Arch and you can use the thing as a desktop computer, so that OS pretty much is just Linux. Valve has invested a lot to make the ecosystem better and I've little doubt they'll continue to do just that.
Powerful and authoritarian are two different things. I want a powerful but democratically controlled via popular vote government.

Lohe this. Reminded me of the wild complexity in our global society
I think Prolog's main problem is that it presents the idea of "just declare the constraints and it will find the solution," but can't really live up to that. In reality it's an extremely leaky abstraction, and even with pure predicates you need to take its execution model into account to avoid getting stuck in an infinite loop.

I still love the language, but I think there's a point where every learner realizes it's not as beautiful and ideal as they once thought.

Are you producing a read-only standup or know someone who is? While some may argue that a standup meeting should be just a read-only report, we believe that it should be more than that. A good standup should focus on discussion, where team members share their journey of completing tasks, highlight challenges, and share solutions. This creates an environment of collaboration and problem-solving, leading to better outcomes for everyone. What do you think? Do you agree that a standup should be more than just a report?

Prolog DCGs are very similar to BNF. They are also a good example of how you can extend Prolog to use different execution strategies.

Solvers are integrated into Prolog nowadays, like the other commenter said.

The real problem is that Prolog doesn't play nice with relational databases. (Too bad the people behind the short-lived NoSQL fad didn't know about Prolog, though.)
Although I hate to admit it because I love the idea of CA HSR, it seems like allocating that eleventy billion dollars or whatever it’s supposed to cost, towards making sleeper car service on this route cheap and readily available (in other words making sure they can do long enough trains, and subsidizing prices to bring down ticket costs) would have had a bigger impact than the ambitious but decades-long effort that we are doing (unless Dems lose the political power anytime in the 2020s, at which point they might just abandon it all to rot half-finished and useless).

I know I’d be just fine with making that trip this way especially if those tax dollars brought down the cost.
That still doesn't answer the question of what value the company is bringing to the employees.
I was SUCH a huge fan of Yugop! The front page reminded me of him immediately. Good times.
Port makes sense, never thought about it. Ships I see rarely, so I couldn't tell which side they use (or even both depending on the harbor) But for passenger planes it's definitely left.

In German starboard is steuerbord, steuern = to steer. No shifting over the centuries.

However, port is still backbord. I am not familiar with Northern dialects (where they have a coast), back does not tell me anything. Maybe packen = to pack/load)??? Interestingly enough the English argument that the 2 words should not be too similar has not been applied. Maybe because there are already 3 vs. 2 syllables? Whereas English had 2 and 2 so they changed to 2 vs. 1 to make it make obvious what was said even in a big storm?
The thing to remember about recent AI developments is that they speed up development itself. Copilot is already useful. It does not write its own code, but that’s not the bar. The bar to clear is, can this speed up itself and I think the answer is yes even if humans stay in the loop.

AI that can code is one the most awesome and at the same time tragically idiotic moves we can make. Even if they are only 1% effective, it’s a one percent we did not have and it makes iterating on the next version faster.

Making LLMs and other types of models is becoming a toy project already. This will only accelerate.
IMO, they are correct to focus on latency instead of bandwidth as the primary factor governing perceived "speed" by the users. And speed.Cloudflare.com is one interesting tool to measure that. But it doesn't tell you anything about your latency to various other sites around the 'net.

I wonder, do folks here frequently measure that? Do you set up tools to constantly smokeping the top 100 web sites around the world, or maybe the top twenty websites that you actually use, or something else? Do you set up your own downdetector style graphs to show what latency is like to all these various services for you?

If you do set up your own kind of monitor like this, what tools do you use to do so? Is it rrdtool or Nagios or something else?
I understand the technical marvel, but there are obvious inconsistencies in all the images and I would call them more animations than video sequences.

In many places in the US, pedestrian buttons don't change the lights, certainly not within 1-3 min, if it's a busy or major intersection with lots of vehicle traffic. Also, the controller behavior can change during the day/night depending on traffic volume, or maybe time of day. One time I counted it took the lights 7 minutes to change at a three-lane intersection late at night, even though there were no cars.

Netflix streaming is an international force to be reckoned with. It has changed how movies and tv series are written and produced. It has changed strategies of major entertainment producers like Disney, HBO and Paramount.

Meanwhile Netflix DVD service is a small, national business that had a good run against blockbuster, but it was its sister service that killed blockbuster.

I think Netflix was right to try and push it into its own company. That way it had a chance to survive providing a niche service in the states.

Of course it’s just a distraction inside Netflix, no matter how nice the upsides are to its loyal followers.

This is why we can’t have nice things.
