Stress and harm are loaded words for stimuli here. Parts of plants can be triggered by a stimulus to begin emitting chemical signals that govern growth, senescence, etc elsewhere in the plant. They do this in response to a wide range of stimuli, not just "harm". Which stimuli feel "bad" to the plant? How would you know?

It's all very stimulus-response for a plant. If things responding to inputs means they can feel or think, then I suppose single cell organisms and computer programs and doorbells count.
Time traveling humans is more likely for the following reason: It requires only one thing: worm hole or some other yet-to-be-invented mechanism for traveling to the past. For this to be alien intelligence, two things are required: First alien intelligence has to exist, and second, they too need a mechanism for speedy travel, to travel to another galaxy such that they can reach the destination within an individual alien's lifetime.

This is a very good point, and I think I have a hard time explaining how it works technically without it sounding more complicated than it actually is.

The diagram is a good idea, I'll do it. For a simple explanation, what do you think about:

SQLPage is a web server that runs .sql files to answer web requests. For every request, it runs the SQL statements in the requested file one by one, passing the HTTP request parameters as SQL statement parameters. Then, it passes the results returned by the database to pre-defined HTML components to create a good-looking webpage that is streamed back to the user's web browser.
They can not be made "anywhere"; when you can't get that PMIC from the original manufacturer, good luck getting it from someone else. And replacing an IC in a QA tested, EMV verified, FCC and CE etc. certified device will often trigger you redoing all that, possibly requiring additional iterations. If there is a similar part available at all.

Take a look at a recent GPU and count the auxiliary components. All of them can cause supply chain difficulties.

You're eliminating all the nuance. Given that OpenAI effectively has a monopoly and is now suddenly being alarmist, makes it pretty clear this is "for their own gain." They have every incentive to to gatekeep the regulatory environment.

Contrary to the U.S. where they have their foot in the door and dominate, in the EU OpenAI has actively resisted regulation.

This inconsistency shows they just want regulatory capture and it's little more than just self-interest disguised as alarmism.
I know we don't know for sure but it there is evidence to suggest orcas may have equal or better emotional processing than humans.

In Blackfish one of the most interesting attacks was against a trainer, Ken Peters, who was also a trained diver. The orca seemed to know the limits of the trainer and how long she could keep him underwater. When she brought him up she gave him time to breathe and compose himself before dunking him under again. She could have easily killed him if that was her intent but it didn't seem to be.

If the latter was what drove the majority of the spread, then masks and social distancing policies could only have marginal impact.

Rumpled, slouchy shirt and pants outfit parts of which surely date back to a goth phase, but softened by the rest of the ensemble (how do you tell the difference between that and rural-town convenience store clerk?

Had happened before with a small viviparous fish species used in labs in 60's I thing. After being banned from experimentation, the species disappeared from labs "overnight". As nobody was breeding the fish anymore, when the habitat of the wild populations was destroyed people discovered too late that there was not a safety copy and the entire species vanished. We could have it still except by a stupid law that nobody remembers anymore. The stupid politicians that wrote it are dead by now probably or wouldn't care less about the consequences of their actions.

All these RE efforts built on each other, although the GPUs are different the tools built to do the RE were shared (and I think ashai is benefiting too).

AFAIK Google has now hired Rob Clark the Freedreno maintainer who started all this to work on Freedreno for Android / ChromeOS

Upstream Linux now has pretty good GPU support for all the major mobile GPUs these days. The hold out has been PowerVR but they are now working on an official (not reverse engineered) driver.

Pollution is already illegal (but poorly enforced) and global warming should be illegal but enforcement is evem more tricky.
The underlying motivation in these sorts of exchanges is rarely a desire for a global increase of genuine self-examination, but more often to exploit an opportunity for ostentatious preening. We know this because your logic can be trivially inverted to point the mirror in the reverse direction. So, reflection being what it is, if self-examination were the true goal, one imagines that those advocating it would at least show first that they had done it themselves.
I don’t know if it helps, but I used reverse Polish notation calculators before doing much lisp. To this day for little calculations I will either type an Elisp expression into my eMacs scratch buffer or if i am out and about will use my HP 15C app in my phone. Even if I am transcribing from an infix thing it is easier. The reverse means no paren, which is easier.
> How can social distancing NOT help during a pandemic?

It's not that it doesn't help at all. It's that it doesn't help enough to be worth the cost. As an analogy, consider that a wholesale ban on trains would help prevent things like what happened in East Palestine, but nobody thinks doing that would be a good idea.

Ask HN: Why are new user accounts shadowbanned?
I’ve been a long time lurker of this site but made my first account the other day to chime in on a technical post in an area I specialize in. Sadly no one replied or engaged with what I thought was a decent comment. I didn’t think much of it and logged off. I was kind of shocked to see my post was invisible! I have to say, it left a sour taste in my mouth. On most communities shadowbanning is reserved for the worst trolls, not new users. I also thought it was strange to start a relationship off like that with dishonesty and it made me question what’s really going on with YC/HN. I don’t really expect them to change policy at this point but to say I was disappointed is an understatement.

When I first tried to learn ECS (recently!), I couldn't wrap my mind around how arcane it seemed to be. What "components" should there be? What properties should each Component track? How do I organize it? What if I move things around? I have to write handlers that load and unload the damn things, and a System that somehow knows where to find certain properties on the various Components enough to operate on them? Examples were always pretty esoteric or contrived. Didn't help that they were all written in C++.

One day it clicked that this revolutionary idea sure looks a lot like a series of queries/views ("Systems") on a bunch of database tables ("Components") foreign-keyed to a single object ID ("Entities").

I think you have learned this incorrect statement from 'An Underground History Of American Education' by John Taylor Gatto.

What you described matches what's published at https://archive.org/details/AnUndergroundHistoryOfAmericanEd... .

However, 1) Arnold Gessel did not write "The Family and the Nation". That 1909 book was written by Whetham and Whetham - https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.22800/page/n7/... .

2) That book does not mention the American Birth Control League, though it is definitely in favor of eugenics.

3) Gessel's eugenics quote comes from "The Village of a Thousand Souls" in The American Magazine, October 1913, at https://archive.org/details/american-magazine/American%20mag... .

> ... there is a real possibility that the State will soon make a systematic attempt to secure a registration of the unfit and prevent the mating of the unfit. Only the rankest pessimists and believers in noninterference will condone the increase of feeble-mindedness and insanity which is occurring everywhere in the villages of the land. We need not wait for the perfection of the infant science of eugenics before proceeding upon a course of supervision and segregation which will prevent the horrible renewal of this defective protoplasm that is contaminating the stream of village life.

The entire article is a call for state-controlled eugenics, and proposing that what is now called "negative eugenics" should start soon, without waiting until the field of eugenics is fully fleshed out.

See also "ARNOLD GESELL’S PROGRESSIVE VISION: Child Hygiene, Socialism and Eugenics", August 2011, History of Psychology 14(3):311-34 at https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ben-Harris-6/publicatio... for a biography, historical context, the effect of the publication, and the distortions Gesell made in his telling.

4) That article does not mention the American Birth Control League.

5) Because it couldn't ... Sanger didn't found the American Birth Control League until 1921. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Birth_Control_League How could a 1909 book or 1913 article refer to something that wouldn't happen for years?

6) Sanger was against the state-imposed negative eugenics advocated by Gesell.

This makes your source highly suspect, and strongly suggests you do not know much about the history beyond that source.
Highlights from the Comments on the Academic Job Market
AI seems easy to identify because it writes like a middle schooler doing their homework. Which is kind of a problem when you're a middle schooler doing your homework.

I wonder if a tiny upside could be that we stop teaching students to write like that. The formulaic, vapid mechanisms we teach them aren't merely unpleasant to read. They're opposite to the goal of writing, which is to get a point across. When we teach them to write like Mad Libs, they're not really learning anything about communication.
I think this is an overly cynical take. I've had pretty deep rooted anxiety most of my life and it got worse after military service, to the point that I was probably a part time agoraphobe. My mushroom and LSD use coalesces with when that stopped.

It's okay to recognize that people consistently claim an effect, and to affirm that it is indeed a possible effect without knowing why.

I don't understand your argument at all. Why would a TS backend be inferior to a PHP backend, for example?

Because for many people, that's the tradeoff.

Think of a new project.

You'll still have "OOP" PHP + some random templating language + the infamously hard to do "sprinkles" of JS.

In the end lots of people start to shoehorn their PHP or Django CMS into REST API parts anyway, reinventing the wheel over and over again, for every new requirement.

I have nothing against PHP or Django or other server technologies with corresponding templating languages.

But to churn on the "old and proven" point in 2023 seems odd to me.

It's tradeoffs all the way down.
more like a brag post
My own experience is more like 1 in 5000 people followed all the rules.
Yes; if one pattern matching case infers that some field of an object is a function, but that is mutated to int, another case cannot keep going with that assumption and generate code where the int is treated a function.

That would almost seem like a downstream compiler problem. If the pattern matching expander emits straightforward code, similar to what you would write by hand, then it would have to be the compiler doing the wrong thing there, like doing type inference without noticing that some location whose type was inferred was replaced by a differently typed object.

If pattern matching itself generates type hints for the compiler, then the fault could lie there.
This is not true at all, Brouwer truly thought the original Aristotelian concept of the "law of excluded middle" was epistemologically unfounded. I would recommend his original paper introducing intuitionistic mathematics but it's very dense. You can refer to: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/brouwer/

Later, he argued he found mathematical proofs of counterexamples of LEM. From above source:

> “Intuitionist Reflections on Formalism” of 1928 identifies and discusses four key differences between formalism and intuitionism, all having to do either with the role of PEM or with the relation between mathematics and language. Brouwer emphasises, as he had done in his dissertation, that formalism presupposes contentual mathematics at the metalevel. He also here presents his first strong counterexample, a refutation of PEM in the form ∀x∈R(Px∨¬Px), by showing that it is false that every real number is either rational or irrational. See the supplement on Strong Counterexamples.

> You need to do this for any language.

Fair, but if your language keeps growing, this task is never done.

> Not sure what this is referring to. Do you have an example?

Array programmers sometimes avoid abstractions because they prefer "idioms" like these[1]. So rather than curate a library of words like:

barchart: {x>\:!|/x}

and have the programmer use the word "barchart", they instead prefer to use the definition itself. The word "barchart" has a specific meaning (here, an ascii "bar chart" of 0s and 1s, showing the relative sizes of the values of input array x), but "{x>\:!|/x}" might be useful for more than just bar charts. This idiom contains smaller idioms like "count til max" (!|/) which in turn contains "max" (|/).

Being able to see the code makes it easier to explore and tweak to your specific needs. But more importantly, there are no "official" names for concepts like "count til max". That's just my personal name for it. A python programmer would call it "range". You could come up with your own name for (!|/) that makes perfect sense to you. But that name will probably be longer than its definition, and less flexible.
