so i have discussed this very issue online and people who generally are possessive about peer reviews and journals in particular seem to swear by it. They say "well i don't have time to go through 10,000 journals published every year. i know the nature journal has 10 which are worth anything so i ignore the rest because editors of nature have done a good job. they have a legacy to maintain".

which honestly sounds great but why can't we just facebook and social-ify and gamify the whole thing?

you are a scholar wanting to make a name in say gene modification. you "know" of a scientist from your professor who says is good. you check his/her profile and see their work. they "like" the work of another professor who you dont know but since the first professor said the second guy is great and the third guy sound reasonable enough, why not read their work.... so on and so forth"

you'd render journals useless and all you need is scihub. everyone publishes into the pool and the "social" aspect of liking and sharing will help.

it will turn into linkedin and tiktok eventually but should'nt we get better results when there is no "pressure" to publish in a "prestigious journal"
When you reach one of the boundaries you re-enter the space at a different boundary. It was one of the very few things I was able to understand.

There's "continuity" between two points that, in the 3D rectangle representation, don't appear to have continuity. This continuity is possible because spacetime may be all warpy like that... You can't exit the space at the boundaries. The door out of the room walks you into the same room from a different door.

eg. exit Face C at some point, and re-enter from Face A, because Faces C and A are aligned at that point.

I'm lost beyond that point though.
When everything is illegal, nothing is.
Threads like these make me realize how little foresight there is into the genuine creation of Frankenstein's Monster Situation.

Because you never learn the Monsters Name, nor was the Monster a Monster. Just Poof Here he is and there is a Mob with Torches. Rather than being seen in wonder and possibilities.

Not to mention at what Scale can we see one of these models in this Light? As Life enough for a Mob and Torches. Or how soon that will be. And who wants to be Frankenstein? As they remember his Name as the Monster's.
Arguably this devalues the programming they are learning since Coroutines aren’t as generally applicable
Abortion is a complex and controversial issue for one religion and one political party. If every religion or political party’s “complexities” need to affect MY google searches at that point it will likely need to look like some castrated caricature of a page trying to answer the actual question I asked.
This is one of the reason we built Specify (specifyapp.com) which is a Design API that helps you sync design tokens and assets from Figma to any platforms.

For instance, let's say you're a React developer. Designers set their layers as exportable in SVG, and Specify can automatically export the SVG string, optimize it with SVGO, set the end filename, and generate a JSX component for React - automatically. Here's a short video that should help you understand the whole process (https://youtu.be/Z7fX0v3KFmY?t=353).

You basically just have to configure Specify once, and every time designers update icons in Figma you'll get automated pull requests with icons transformed exactly how you want.
in 2d: take a square and glue the two pairs of opposite sides together. If you do this with one pair you get a cylinder, and then gluing the other pair gets you a torus. No boundary is left.

In 3d: take a solid cube and glue the three pairs of opposite sides together. Maybe a bit difficult to visualize, but the idea is that if you live in the cube and try to exit it on one side then you re-emerge into the cube from the opposing side.

You see it as a stark choice between one and the other? I'm not sure that would be the consensus view.
Terminal User Interfaces (TUI).

There aren't many editors like that around.

Check out micro and mcedit.
Egan is one of my favorite sci-fi writers. It takes a while to understand some of the concepts he writes, but imo he's written some of the best works in hard sci-fi that also deal with a lot of philosophy.

Great to see him active on his website (though I'll admit I gave up on understanding this around halfway)

Editing to add: of his works, Permutation City is one of my favorites. Multiple mind blowing concepts. I'm sure it'll be up the alley of many other HN readers.
If you read the memo carefully, they do claim to be open-source at the beginning, but then switch to explaining that they will make money off closed-source models for their customers.

So, not more open-source than what OpenAI is doing.
> Technically, their only solid common point is that they address contiguous spaces in memory.

That’s a very major thing to have in common. Definitely not a minor detail, for sure.
A unique member of the human species exists from the moment of conception.

Also, even if you disagree with my position that all humans have a right to life that still doesn't make a crisis pregnancy center which offers alternatives to abortion a bad thing, they're giving resources to help people not feel pressured to make an irreversible medical decision.

Is there any indication why this occurs?

It’s not like someone goes to the IRS in person and they see that person and decide to audit them do they?

I have had the IRS reach out to me a few times and I’ve had to deal with them. It was all via mail and felt very formal and computerized. It didn’t seem like there was much room for individual discretion.
I have 5 kids age 8 and under. The get electronics are a reward for good behavior like any other. The default is no electronics or TV. If they do something to earn some time with them, they can have them. Things they can do (nothing counts if we have to ask them to do it):

- Clean up their messes or their rooms

- General housekeeping/chores

- Worksheets from their workbooks (they all have workbooks from the next grade up)

- Reading a chapter or so in a "chapter book"

- A couple of other learning/development activities (Soduku, puzzles, etc.)

If they do one of those things on their own, they get electronics for a bit, or some other treat (candy, etc).

So far it is working well, especially the worksheets. The first two kids are in grade school, and teachers are consistently impressed with them.

One of my favorite fun facts that I learned because of this chart:

So the Coptic script is the Egyptian language but written with Greek letters (plus 6 extra letters for sounds the Greek alphabet doesn't cover).

What's particularly interesting is that the Greek alphabet itself was based on the Phoenician alphabet, which was in turn derived from Egyptian hieroglyphs.

In other words, the final stage of the Egyptian language (before Arabic was introduced) was written with a Greek script that was originally descended from Egyptian hieroglyphs. Full circle!
Abortion as "birth control" is killing. That is not health care.

It's absolutely healthcare, as much as your virtue-signaling wants to pretend otherwise.

I'm sure that Objective-C and Smalltalk have also been strong influences, especially in the libraries. But I would say that the OO semantics are very Simula like.

Can you really claim as Smalltalk inspired a language without an easy to use DoesNotUderstand? That's pretty much the basis for first class messages and transparent delegation.

Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccRtIdlTqlU

edit: you could say that the JVM itself is more explicitly smalltalk-inspired as, AFAIK, has closer to fist class messaging support, but this power is hidden to the typical java program under a more interface oriented design. To reach the full power you have to escape form java into the meta-level via introspection.

As opposed to the americans' approach of using pepper spray and truncheons and gouging out journalists eyes with baton launchers and rubber bullets?

Yes, breaking up the protest by cutting off its funding was the civilized option.
This is a good answer. You want your primary/cluster key to usually be something that makes sense in your data. If you use something like UUID the placement can be basically random. That is usually in SQL is not a desirable trait. If you use it for a primary key you are basically saying you are fine with a memory cmp vs a register compare for you finding the right data. That can be undesirable too. UUIDs do have very desirable traits such as uniqueness. But that does come at a cost and usually you can fix that by deciding what process decides the source of truth in a different way.
There are tools like LexisNexis and FindLaw -- professional search engines to help with finding relevant case law.
Yeah, I must agree it is a cultural issue at some extent. But honestly the on-call my current company is quite demanding. So during the on-call week, though engineers try to improve it they always run out of the time or miss few things which then puts burden on future on-call.

I think there should be a nice light weight tool which should give a clear summary and tracking mechanism which make this a quicker tasks. Even just to tag the runbooks which are not updated. All those notes get lost in documentations and never referred back.

Actually I can’t speak or write it fully, but I can understand you for the most part. I didn’t reach that B1-2 proficiency because I got hired around that time.
Thankfully, very few teams are still using LabView at this point and WPILib primarily targets C++ and Java, with first-party Python support coming next season.
And of course the response from the other parties is to see if they can ban the AfD instead of realizing that this is their own doing by continously ignoring the interest of the voters who are then easily swayed by a populist party (or just voting AfD because none of the other options are good either).
A former Apple employee who worked extensively with the device indicated on an earlier thread that you can drink with some practice.

Amazon Prime is definitely hard to cancel, but I had a pleasant customer support experience at least.

A few years ago I came to realise I had left my monthly Prime subscription active for a whole year when I thought I had cancelled it.

Once I realised, I cancelled it and asked Amazon support if I could possibly get a refund; they granted it the next day after confirming I hadn't bought anything or watched Prime Video in that time.

I'm very careful to make sure I cancel Prime when I'm done with it now. It bothers me that they don't send an email receipt or anything every time you're billed.
Damn, I miss what.cd so much.
"I think a lot of this is based on circular reasoning."

No. Actually it's based on information theory, and probably a better model of what interacting with an LLM would look like a year or five later than the one you are operating on.

Here's a little hint: It has total amnesia. LLMs by their nature scale only so far, and while they may scale larger than ChatGPT, they aren't going to be scaling for an entire lifetime of interaction. (That's going to take another AI technology.)

Ever interacted with someone with advanced dementia but otherwise functioning faculties for any period of time? (I suppose they could well make good therapists too.)
It is definitely an EU FOMO play.

The catch, however, is that Germany and UK will also have their own Mistral.

Each will have direct and trivial access to their country's market, but much harder access to their neighbours' country.

From where I conclude that Mistral's TAM is mostly France, not EU.
It’s basically volunteer counseling for expectant mothers who are in trouble. They usually provide a free ultrasound, parenting education, and help finding community resources for financial issues and for adoption. They are anti-abortion because they will not refer to an abortion clinic.

Since Roe was repealed, red states are driving abortion clinics out of business and blue states are driving these centers out of business.
I have been on teams that were agile in the best way, and on teams that did Agile, in the worst way, though I am sure there is plenty of room on top and on the bottom.

So I strongly reject your implication that it's not really possible to get it right and that all the consistent failures are true-scotsmanned away. Being agile is awesome, and it is not actually hard, with the right people and mindset.

I also don't agree that the manifesto is as loose as you appear to think, as almost all the places where Agile falls down can be shown to be in contradiction to the manifesto. (Looking at you, Scrum, and you, Jira, etc.) However, it is fairly loose where many people would like it to be tight, that is in prescribing certain fixed processes.

For example, nowhere in the manifesto does it say you should have lots of meetings and you should stand during those meetings, but for some reason that is one of the key takeaways people seem to have from Agile. The standups actually come from XP (which is sadly mostly ignored, though it contains most of the real gems), and are not even mandated. The key idea is to eliminate meetings altogether, and to keep the ones that the team finds unavoidable as short as possible by making them somewhat uncomfortable.

Museum dose is somewhere between art gallery dose and planetarium dose. Under forest explorer dose and way under isolated beach dose.
Yeah, I worked with one of the authors and their perspective was that conversations between developers and subject matter experts were what was primary, and methodology was just whatever helped a team enable that. They were quite disappointed with the consulting industry that sprung up and its many variations of "the one true way to do agile."

One of the exact reasons I've been working with Aurelia as my Javascript framework of choice since 2015. Aurelia 1 has served me well and I have apps that have been in production for eight years untouched. They just keep running without fail and they're so simple. Similarly, Aurelia 2 (currently in beta) is even better and as stable (same templating syntax, DI, etc). I tend to avoid all of the hype in the front-end space. The only thing clients and companies care about at the end of the day are results.

- Simple syntax

- Convention over configuration, but gives you the ability to configure it when you need too

- Standards compliance

- Has state management, routing, validation, Fetch client and translation packages

- Completely written in TypeScript, so everything is strongly typed

- Great docs

- HTML templating syntax is standards compliant, so everything looks similar to native HTML. None of this weird curly, banana in a box, square bracket and weird symbol nonsense that is not intuitive.

People always ask, "Why not React?", "Why not Vue?", "Why not Svelte?", etc. People think you need to use the most popular option like it's a popularity contest. I find it laughable to build a React application in 2023 you don't just `npm install react`, people tell you to use something like Next.js which is a framework built on React (the very thing developers tried arguing for years you didn't need to build apps and that libraries were enough). I can guarantee that most of the people in this comments section either tried Aurelia years ago when it was v1 or have never heard of it. Then you would have some that won't use it because it's not big or popular enough.

I can build an app using Aurelia faster than most developers could using React or any other convoluted framework or library. Even Vue used to be nice and basic, before Vue 3 where they decided they would become React Lite and introduce complexity in the way you build things because everyone bought into the myth everything has to be functions and classes are bad.

At the end of the day the safest strategy is to use what works for you and ignore everything else.
A mobius strip is an example of a space that is finite but unbounded in a single direction. A two dimensional plane that is finite but unbounded in all directions is called a Kline bottle, but you can’t build them for real in 3D space, only distorted approximations.

You don’t have to do such geometric contortions though. The surface of a sphere is a two dimensional space that is finite but unbounded.
Maybe they're only A/B testing the dark patterns, because this is exactly how it worked for me recently. I turn Prime on & off every so often. Last time (~a month ago) I forgot to cancel before the auto-renew, it very easily gave me a full refund on the month I didn't mean to buy.
It pretty much replaced my WoW guild's forum overnight when we started using it for voice. The guy who was paying for the Mumble rental asked us to try it and we really liked it immediately. Pings that raiders will actually see, amazing. One click to join instead of having to dial thru a wizard with an IP and port (I know mumble had support for that but nobody knew how to use it, and WoW ingame chat does not let you copy text out easily while discord made sure their codes were easy to type). Sending gifs and videos to the team while waiting for an AFK was a nice new development too.

That said, it doesn't make sense for me for huge communities. I definitely think it's the best for small/medium groups but once chat starts moving a too fast to follow, what is the point? Trying to follow older discussions is also super hard compared to a forum.

It's also not a good knowledge repository. One thing that we used our forum for reliably was storing our personal tactics, common assignments, what addons we require etc in a central place. Trying to do it in a chat channel was like pulling teeth and we couldn't assign multiple people to edit the content.
I think a director of a company or agency that ever blames "the algorithm" should be immediately dismissed.
Addiction is the root issue, not overdosing. It's not enough to just stop people from dying, you need to actually give them quality of life.

"The homeless people thing is a failure of our healthcare and housing systems."

This is the result of drug addiction not the cause.

"Many (not all) of those things were results of the criminalization of drugs"

Don't agree, alcohol is perfectly legal and one of highest percentage addictions there is. Opioids are a legal prescription and also out of control.

Maybe I'm missing something but why doesn't the Java section right before the Lua section not work? It looks like normal procedural code that can just keep running. The lua version is just one coroutine and it's not yielding to anything else. Is it just a matter of some kind of timing constraint/controller from FRC in the background that need to keep calling myAuto?

This is a false dichotomy, and one that is actually dangerous to you if you believe it. Your choices are not "deal with the bad people in your life" or "retreat into solely interacting with LLMs".

If you have the latter option, you also have "leave the bad people behind" as an option because it is made of the things you need in order to "retreat solely into interacting with LLMs" and is in fact simpler.

Cynicism and casting learned helplessness as a virtue are not the solution.

Embedded references to external javascript libraries, fonts, images, and so on on a web page are resolved by the browser by making a connection to the service that hosts the resource, and connections over the Internet necessarily involve two IP addresses of some sort, the IP address of the requester (or a requester) and the IP address of the responder. Every web browser works that way by default.

There are two basic choices to avoid that - in some cases you can just host the resources yourself so the client browser does not connect to hosts operated by others, or you can operate a proxy so that the client browsers requests are relayed and anonymized before going to a third party.
There was always something that really bothered me about the Agile movement and I am glad that it seems to have gone away.

People would say it is flexible and meant to be guidelines that can be changed to fit your team. And then we would go and do a bunch of training, hire scrum masters, etc that would all tell us we were doing "Agile" wrong. Those 2 statements don't work together.

I also cannot understand how we convinced companies that hiring full time agile coaches, scrum masters, etc were at all not a waste of money.

I also felt like we had way too many meetings with very little value. Meetings that were really just focused on the process. I know some people think that meetings are being productive but I strongly do not feel that way. Obviously there are some valuable meetings, but most of the agile ones I felt were a waste of time.

There are pieces of Agile that have continued, like standup, but largely I have not been "agile" for several years and I feel like I am more productive because of it.
The lack of diff mode has been my biggest hangup in terms to trying helix out seriously. I'll keep an eye out for it to land.
