> especially with a coda that seems to serve no real purpose but to denigrate the victims of it.

I'm not denigrating Native Americans by rejecting the racist trope that they were too simplistic and culturally at peace with nature to ever destabilize the environment they were in.

I think there is a big gulf between how we are interpreting this thread that I can't bridge. European colonization of the Americas was marked by many, many acts of horrific violence, regardless of whether they were the sole cause of bison extinction.

But what variable assignment is being SATisfied?
The biggest interest I have in this, is that I would like to have the ability to ask questions about large code-bases. I think being able to generate small functions or explain single code sections is nice, but being able to ask bigger architectural questions would be really helpful for all kind of engineers (in particular in a large company).

I have seen approaches with merging context across multiple levels. But that can only do so much. Is it viable to fine-train a model to a specific code-base so it has knowledge across all files? Does anyone have more info on this kind of problem space?
It is. Here's a professional translation for this [0]:

...they made bricks. I razed that small palace in its entirety, took a large area from the fields for an addition, and added (it) to it (the palace). I laid its foundations with limestone, strong stone from the mountains, and raised the terrace.

I summoned the kings of Ḫatti and Across the River (Syria-Palestine) Baʾalu, king of Tyre, Manasseh, king of Judah, Qaʾuš-gabri, king of Edom, Muṣurī, king of Moab, Ṣil-Bēl, king of Gaza, Mitinti, king of Ashkelon, ...

Even if the translation wasn't very wrong, I'd be incredibly skeptical of this because Akkadian and Sumerian share a lot of words that are written the same way, but have very different meanings (which can even be mixed within a document!). They're usually documented separately in dictionaries and most translations will have a convention to denote each usage. [1] has a good example of how dense these sorts of notational conventions can get.

No. People have tried to use Grammarly for this. Using Chat GPT as a linter for writing is a terrible idea and I wouldn't suggest anyone use it. I wouldn't be surprised if Chat GPT hallucinated suggestions and problems in writing. For business writing on the other hand, maybe. For basic things it could be helpful. But it might cause a lot more unnecessary confusion. While looking as though you understand more than you do. What I mean by this is that instead of being confused as a misinterpretation by a secondary language speaker. Instead it will look as though you intentionally meant to say something someway. This sounds vague, because there are lots of issues that could possible occur. And this is the worst one I could think of off the top of my head.

We see some people already using it to automate certain sections such as emails in their life, and well.. Good luck. It could easily write something you didn't want it to or say something you didn't mean because you didn't look closely at what you were writing. There's a lot of terrible consequences of this technology and to call it a productivity hack is well, not ideal.

I checked his comment, I think he's incorrect on the approaches being different. Using my function `foo` that does the iterative approach, we can compare the distributions and they're fairly identical.

>>> np.mean([foo(100) for _ in range(100000)])
3.258425093913613e-33

>>> np.mean([np.product(np.random.random(100)) for _ in range(100000)])
8.814732867008917e-33

(There's quite a bit of variance on a log scale, so 3 vs 8 is not a huge difference. I re-ran this and got varying numbers with both approaches. But the iterated code is very slow...)

Note that the mean is actually quite a bit closer to 2^-100 even though the vast majority of numbers from either distribution fall below 2^-100. Even so, the mean for both is approximately a factor of 100 less than 2^-100. Suspicious! Although I think we've both burned enough time on this.
> The Dems like spending, so they're not going to challenge the debt.

A lot of our current deficit is due to tax cuts in the current century (Bush, Trump) and I suppose you'd agree that Dems dislike tax cuts, so why haven't they tried to push increases/cut-reversals in debt ceiling negotiations?

From the article:

> Popular C/C++ alternative build systems are SCons, CMake, Bazel, and Ninja.

CMake is not a build system. It's a build system generator. A higher level abstraction over the problem of specifying projects, which greatly simplifies the work of creating and maintaining them. Once a CMake project is created, it is then used to create the actually build system. Originally it was mainly Makefile, but nowadays it also supports Ninja, Xcode, and Visual Studio. I'm sure that if there is any interest cmake could also be updated to generate other build systems.
HN is pretty divided about Stallman. Bringing up the things he actually at one time said, even if later he said something different, results in a lot of downvoting and toxicity.

> The theory makes sense

Regardless of how one feels about arguments against taxation, that theory for how to achieve it does not make sense. It is belligerent sleight of hand from people who want to preserve the status quo of a sheltered income funnel for the tax preparation economy at the extremely inefficient labor expense of everyone else.

Here's the problem...

You're literally creating something entirely unrelated (paperwork) for people to get mad about instead of getting mad about the thing that your argument claims they should be mad about (taxes). This is what we call in layman's terms a smoke screen.

The only reason for not just sending an itemized receipt is to hide from people where their tax dollars go and to bury them in arduous paperwork so that they have less energy to focus on the actual issue of spending allocation.

If your argument is earnestly and honestly that taxes are bad and people should attempt to limit government imposing new taxes, it does not matter one whit how painful the paperwork process is, because the paperwork process is not what you claim you seek to limit.

If your argument is earnestly and honestly that taxes are bad and people should attempt to limit government imposing new taxes, JUST SEND AN ITEMIZED RECEIPT so that people can see the waste.

If you earnestly and honestly think that taxes burden people more than they help, by not just sending an itemized receipt all you've done is hide that burden behind an obfuscated wall of secrecy and toil, which goes completely against what your argument claims it wants.

Google is going to be just fine. The most important slide in the article is that Google has 6(!) 2B+ user products. Even if slightly behind in capability, they have superior reach. They'll deeply integrate AI into every part of that stack and this way put it into people's hands. They also have the data, infrastructure, people and capital to make it work.

Microsoft has little consumer push (no mobile presence) hence they will likely dominate in the business market. Integrating it into Office, private training on company data, etc.

Apple is the big mystery. Supposedly the big consumer-facing competitor to Google but very little is known about what's coming from them. Honestly, I'm quite convinced they're in panic mode as well, they just hide it better.
Even taking the standard deduction, I don't think I've had a year in my life where I didn't have additional tax credits and deductions. You don't need to itemize for some very common situations on top of the standard deduction.

Legitimate businesses don’t randomly decide to run a scam, so the fact that Mont Blanc did it here makes me strongly suspect we’re just not seeing how they do it elsewhere.

I have yet to read about a proposed solution to Argentina's economy.

It's not that complicated. The government needs to balance its budget. Continually borrowing money -- from the central bank when nobody else wants to lend any -- is inevitably going to inflate the currency.

Unfortunately, while this is the only economically feasible solution, it's not a politically feasible solution.

Not even a little bit? The comparisons here are quite stark.

Russia's shadow government can just murder important people with no repercussions, they can jail whoever they want, and they commit plenty of warcrimes that are never recorded in such detail as the American ones.

China has internment camps for millions on it's soil as part of a campaign of cultural genocide, and it's government can also just disappear people if it wants to.

America is in no way perfect, or even objectively good or anything like that. But it is relatively better, just a little bit.

Major League Baseball app showing notifications for games from the 60s and 70s
With the MLB app, you normally get a notification when teams you've subscribed to complete a game. Today a bunch of people got notifications for 50 year old games as if they'd just been completed. One comment in the linked reddit thread noticed that the affected games are some of the most recent games without complete play-by-play information, and speculated that whatever process that send notifications after games are completed only triggers when the complete play-by-play info is added. That triggers for present-day games when they complete, but it also apparently triggers on 50 year old games when their information is updated
Yeah, we've definitely begun exploring all the various ways our system is broken & vulnerable if too many people in the wrong positions decide to behave in bad faith and ignore all notions of the spirit of rules & laws or of fair play, but I'm not sure I want us to speed-run that process.

> The axes have different scales, look again.

Within each graph the scale is the same, and the European/Chinese cities do significantly better (are higher up the graph) than the US cities. (I do wonder why London and Paris are missing from Figure 4).

> It's also true that many European cities are actually competitive when you do use a car. But we're looking at transit vs. car use.

They're better than competitive; their trendline for job accessibility is 2x or more better than the US one. Car-oriented city design results in much worse job accessibility, even for car users.
> Note that they haven't been able to do either.

They were very, very close. IMHO, it's only a matter of time, and when it happens, there will be no delay.
I did redo it, and the distributions are identical. It's just a very heavily skewed distribution, so the expected value is not very intuitive. I still think even E[x] decreases faster than 2^-n though. See my other comments.

Edit - Actually, I think E[x] = 2^-n, but showing this numerically for large n is impractical because of just how skewed the distribution is. It is simultaneously true that E[iter_rand(N)] = 2^-N and E[log(iter_rand(N))] = -N. Fun stuff :)

You using the word "guilt" suggests you're venturing into the strawman of "innocent until proven guilty", or that public opinion must follow the same rules as the judicial system.

Even if he didn't do anything illegal, Jeffrey Epstein is gross and awful. It's totally fine for society to not want people "guilty" of associating frequently and voluntarily to be powerful and influential.

Public opinion is not a court.

If I were Trezor and became aware of a fake firmware, I would:

* Offer rewards to anyone able to send me the fake devices or clues who is making them.

* Tell my clients to upgrade the firmware on devices before use. Make sure every new firmware is distinctive in some way - for example the boot screen, and tell the users to check for that to ensure they are actually running the firmware they thought they just flashed.
An attempt to explain the difference without just calculating the things:

random(random()) has an identical distribution to random()*random() (it may even behave identically for a given rng state), although this is different to Math.pow(random(),2) since in that case there's 100% correlation between both parts which makes the expected value product bigger.

random(random()) is also distributed equivalently to

x=random()
y=random()
while(y>=x) y=random()
return min(x,y)

(the last line could also read 'return y')
Comparing that to min(random(),random()), we can see that if the second call to random is smaller than the first, they will return the same result; otherwise, the program equivalent to random(random()) will return a smaller value, therefore the expected value of random(random()) must be lower that that of min(random(),random()).
I'm not a doctor/immunologist, but as I understand it the flu shot targets 4-5 different strains. Each year they have to ID what they believe will be this season's leading strains, and then blend together the mix ahead of time. This takes a lot of work, and sometimes they get it wrong and 8th most common strain surges and it's a scramble to save lives.

So I think the promise of a 'universal' vaccine means one that would target all/most strains.

This action would require a simple majority in the House, a 3/5 majority in the Senate, and either the presidency or increasing both of those to 2/3 majorities.
