>The irony here is palpable.

Is it? There’s a big difference between misunderstanding a picture location -where I admit I was wrong- and someone is willing to shoot because big pharma said so and still willing to do so if it would happen again, not knowing their mistake, this goes without mentioning the dozens of examples and proven evidence how it was dealt with there, from the quarantine camps [1], to people denied food because they are not vaccinated [2], or how police used drones and other tech invading people basic privacy and liberties [3], and I’m not even going with post-vaccine injuries.

I’m not talking about vaccination policies or itself was effective or not, I’m talking about basic human decency among each other, it’s ok if you do a mistake, admit it, and learn from it especially if you were “just following orders”, just like how I admit that pic was wrong, the least can be done is admitting a lot of covid shenanigans were wrong,it’s time to fix that, and hold some people accountable for ordering others to do such atrocities.

the summary of laforest's dissertation says that a small stack machine is much faster (than a presumably in-order MIPS) "for deeply nested or recursive code", but "worse for iterative code"

quite aside from the new results it presents, it seems to be a much more comprehensive answer to the question of why stack machines fell out of favor than i've seen before

> "Detroit's police chief said their facial recognition technology, when used alone, fails 96% of the time, Insider previously reported."

When it fails 96% of the time, are they given a hundred possible matches to scroll through? If so, that's concerning to the majority of people showing up without any affiliation to a crime.
> He goes on to disparage object orientation being taught as a way to encapsulate data structures. He sees methods not as actions, but as goals, something I haven’t wrapped my head around. His original insight for objects was that each should be thought of as a complete computer, and complex systems could be recursively subdivided into smaller and smaller machines exchanging messages. It’s interesting to hear this idea in today’s world of networked micro-services.

There's a different thread here than my own, but I dig so much a disparagement of data-structure encapsulation.

There's so many modern software-philosophies around good software encapsulating, around private membership ideas, where high fences/boundaries are what define good software. JavaScript getting private members was a pretty contested topic, for example, but big tent/every idea welcome philosophies opted to let the whole ecosystem be subject to clamp down. To be fair, there were already a lot of techniques available to encapuslate/hide one's state, but making encapsulation an easy to use & official capability radically changed the design of modern libraries, much for the worse. Things were just better when we left the door open to toying with behaviors intended to be internal, but which could still be places for enhancement: fear of the unknown cut off great possibility.

So today it's the authors that get to set all boundaries, of what's internal & what's external, & no one else gets any say.

I love how this post quietly celebrated a more open system. Where the data wasn't the star, but the capabilities & goals. I think this philosophy, of "the only true wisdom consists in knowing that you knowing" is what could best help software, best alter the equation where users are no longer always end-users, where open possibility allows users to amplify their own best interests actively.

This is very cool! Coincidentally, I just spent an hour playing with this on Google Colab before seeing the docs posted here on HN.

While I don’t find this to be a life changing new thing, it is useful and the ChatGPT output is formatted beautifully. I use an iPad a lot when I am reading and doing quick code experiments about what I am reading so Colab with the CodePilot like functionality, and things like ChatGPT support really make Colab more than OK for quick code experiments, especially when I need an A100 GPU.
No, he seems to have been able to effectively hack the social media algorithms and make himself an extremely prevalent voice. The mind virus definitely spread and touched millions, if not 10s of millions.

Young men are desperate for men they can look up to, to emulate. Rich, exciting, powerful, desired; this was Andrew Tate the image. Of course he was going to be popular! Mainstream media and the chattering classes are utterly powerless against this, we must elevate men of integrity so that young men do not throw their lives away. Black men, rich white men, Jordan Peterson if he cuts through, but men with integrity. Deconstruct society too much and you will just be left with the swirling entropy of nothingness. Socrates understood this, and we are fools to forget.

Here in Norway we do have a weight tax. It's linear for normal cars[1] and paid once, for heavier vehicles it's yearly and quite non-linear[2].

edit: doing a quick fit, it seems to just be quadratic with weight though, while damage goes more like the fourth power as noted in sibling comment.

As for miles driven, AFAIK there's nothing direct non-linear there, just some duty and taxes on the fuel.

Yes. That extends to motorcycles which, in comparison to all cars, do virtually zero damage to roads. Getting everyone out of cars and onto reasonable motorcycles, even sportbikes, would likely do more for the environment than the current plan of everyone driving electric tanks.

Interestingly enough, I had assumed the same thing. That, it was perhaps some cult-like very limited and extremist following limited to a select few.

My eyes were opened when I visited the Toronto area recently. From my (limited) anecdotal experience, there seems to be a fervent, messiah like following of Tate and the things he says. It was so bizarre to me.

P.S. not saying anything bad about Toronto! Just that it was my experience there. Please take things you read on the internet with a (bucket) of salt, and healthy skepticism!
> Acrobat's "Distillery"

Minor nit, it was called Distiller. I worked on it for about a year, not so much on the core processing code, but on the periphery - user interface, adding an API, etc.

When I first started work on it, one of my new colleagues walked by and asked what I'd be working on. I said "Distiller", and they gave me a sad look, like "you just got the worst assignment here."

> PDF is like PostScript without the programming language, just the imaging model.

Of course PDF does have a programming language, a very old version of JavaScript, with an API that Acrobat/Reader provides.

It's mostly used for simple stuff like calculating and updating one form field from your input in another.

You can tell when you look at the API that it was designed 20-25 years ago.

> (But with a lot of extra crap thrown in so haphazardly and indiscriminately that the Adobe PDF Viewer browser plugin traditionally requires downloading patches almost every day!)

Browsers don't use the Adobe plugin any more, thank goodness.

But on the "haphazard and indiscriminate" part, yes, guilty as charged.

One of my later projects at Adobe was to build a multimedia plugin that could embed any of the popular media players of the day: Real Player, QuickTime, Windows Media Player, one or two others I don't remember, and even Flash.

I built the main plugin which provided a JavaScript API you could access from your PDF and a way to add a "player plugin" for each media player, and teamed up with colleagues to build each of the individual player plugins.

No one at Adobe around 2002 thought Flash was important, so I kind of had to do a stealth minimal implementation.

It was definitely a fun project, and also a great example of the "haphazard and indiscriminate" additions you referred to.

The government, at best, and excluding any other criticisms, is a middle man. At the very least, it absorbs money and decreases efficiency.

1) Government taxation model.

Tax payer X makes $100. The government takes $40 (excluding for now the additional taxation on every purchase, sale, savings, etc). The government spends $20 of that just to fund itself. The government spends the other $20 on whatever. X has $60, and things he cares about MIGHT have been given a fraction of that $20.

2) Other.

Tax payer X makes $100. He spends $40 on whatever the hell he wants to support or fund. He still has $60. Something he actually cares about, for example a local hospital, has $40.

No matter what other factors you add to complicate matters, the existence of any middle men add cost and reduce efficiency.

> Just tax the thing you don't like

and in a democracy, this can't happen because those being taxed have political power to prevent it, or dilute it. Therefore, a proxy gets taxed indirectly, which also dilutes the said tax to more constituents, thus spreading it out thinly enough to not "cause" the ruckus in said group of constituents.
I had a neurologist tell me that the scans he'd performed proved that there was nothing wrong with my wife, and he didn't know why she was choosing to act as though she had a neurological issue.

In neurology at least, I think a lot of the problem is that everyone is hyper-specialized. Luckily for us, my wife's insurance company convinced a generalist neurologist to come out of retirement and examine her, which put us on the path to effective treatment. But yes, that whole experience completely soured me on blind trust in the medical profession
Zoom may be a bad choice for newsrooms
> This assumes perfect knowledge from the consumer though.

Not at all. Imperfect knowledge is enough most of the time. Consumers will reward companies that are transparent and trustworthy over a long time.

> The question is, do consumers value a printer with a usb port, how much is it worth to them, do they have a choice in the matter?

Indeed, consumers have to make their own trade-offs about whether they value having a USB-port.

> If you do like palm oil in your chocolate, you don't have the option of buying it.

It's legal, and available, if you look for it. (Even before the rule change in Germany it was legal, you were just banned from calling the product 'chocolate'.)

> There are negative externalities to Palm oil production, externalities that the market seem incapable or unwilling to fix.

Since those negative exernalities are still around, you could equally blame the government or Santa Claus for not fixing them.

The 'market' does some of that fixing: customers who often pay a premium for 'ethically' sourced products that don't include palm oil. And there are producers who oblige them.

Most, but not all, of those externalities occur in the palm oil producing countries. It would make sense for the people most affected to eg vote to put taxes and subsidies in place to internalise those externalities. (Alas, many of those places also have corrupt and incompetent governments.)
Lived in the Bay Area for a few years. Do not miss the work culture, especially people around me graciously donating free extra work hours to companies worth billion/trillion dollars and expecting others to do the same.
I think that its foolish to over-legislate at this stage in the game.

1. The Hummer EV is not going to do a ton of volume. Compared to other vehicles on the road, esp commercial, it's a drop in the bucket. "in 2022, GMC delivered 854 Hummer EV Pickups. Currently, the cumulative number is 857."

2. People do not consider the weight of the vehicle when purchasing. No one cares. And it's not something we should need to consider. The Rivian (a 'quarter ton' truck) weighs 7,000 lbs, a good 2,000 lbs more than my RAM 1500 (a 'half ton' truck). This is counter intuitive and not obvious to most buyers.

3. Batteries are the problem, but battery tech is truly in its infancy. They will continue to get lighter and more efficient.

Why would we want to penalize the transition to EV with more taxes and fees on owners? Ignore the fact that Hummer owners "can afford it" - what about other EVs? We want more adoption of EVs. We need to figure out another strategy. Manufacturers should carry the burden here because they are the ones producing these heavy vehicles. That is a slippery slope though because again it will stifle innovation.

This will be a messy transition but progress is progress.

As far as I can tell he's not only pretty sure he'll be part of the class that holds power like this without accountability to any state, he consistently makes manipulative statements which function to move things in that direction.
This should make a lot of sense. Quantum is particles acting like waves. Then remember that absolute zero was originally formulated as the impossible state of no particles moving. But I'd also be careful taking this as a great analogy to quantum because really what you're just seeing is wave effects (which is really important to quantum) but not seeing some of the other effects. Especially the weird ones.

At first I thought this was SPH (smooth particle hydrodynamics) but the site says it is PIC (particle in cell).[0]

Btw, heroin partially became popular as a re-creational drug because smoking opium and pot was banned. Just like the American prohibition of alcohol led consumers to switch from beer to hard liquor, because less bulky drugs are easier to smuggle.

Yeah there's lots of reasons I didn't buy it, even though I enjoyed a lot of Diablo 3 and thought the Diablo 4 beta was fun enough. I got D3 after the expansion unfucked the loot drop rates that had been tuned super rare to drive people to the real money auction house.

Fingers crossed that Diablo 4 will eventually be on sale for $30 and have reached a point where it's worth that much. That's my price cap for anything with always online single player, and I can't see that being fixed.

Maybe I can be generous and bump it up to $35 now to give them 50% of the launch price.

> People do not consider the weight of the vehicle when purchasing. No one cares. And it's not something we should need to consider.

Of course they don’t care. Because it’s only others being hurt. Which is why we need to push the problem back to the source. We shouldn’t allow deadly machines to be operated around urban spaces. If you need one out on the farm, that’s fine. But it’s not appropriate to take in to the city.
Maybe try reading up on the reasoning behind the whole "blameless retrospective" thing that's popular to advocate for when software development discussions pop up around here?

> What do you have available to you when the internet is down?

Certainly not everything at this stage, but in a properly run Memex system, IMO, that really should be everything. Assuming enough local storage, there is no reason not to save every page you view while browsing the web in full.

> What do you have available to you after a hard drive failure? That's the point (or at least one of them) of having stuff in the cloud.

The standard answer to that, is to have good backups. Bite the bullet and spend some time and money on buying the proper equipment (a commercial NAS, a Raspberry Pi NAS with some USB-connected drives, a small form-factor PC with a couple of SSDs, anything you want), and integrating it into your other machines as a backup destination. Cloud makes it much easier, but also less private, with an ongoing monthly cost, and adds an additional point of failure that's outside of your control.

As for how I balance it personally? Local storage all the way. Even if I picked an end-to-end encrypted backup service, several terabytes of data is just too expensive to store in the cloud.

Ah, this rant again, from an early-career IC who’s likely done more I’ing than C’ing.

Cool. The idea that managers are just “cracking the whip” and “taking credit for your work” tells me you’ve had nearly zero real world experience (who’s teaching you things, who’s helping you develop, who’s making sure other teams know what you’re doing, who’s making sure that your work is in alignment with the rest of the org, etc etc etc), nearly zero interaction with anyone other than your peers, and have no idea what leadership does.

But go off comparing managers to monarchy, of all inane things. And that’s aside from suggesting that managers are responsible for your mental health issues. That’s low and childish.

They may want big, but big doesn't have to be heavy. We could have big and relatively light vehicles. Most of a cars volume is air.

But big is higher drag and higher drag is less mpg and the only way to be allowed less mpg is heavy as per EPA rules.
The list of things the commenter you're replying to brought up, in addition to "be attractive", is table stakes for receiving an iota of romantic attention from women.

We talk a ton about unrealistic beauty standards, "men talking, women listening", etc - but I have to wonder, maybe the world where women marry people one income decide above them is almost guaranteed to be a world where men are just more competitive in the workplace, even at the expense of running over their female colleagues. The incentives curve says that to expect anything at all of women, you have to be successful, ideally wealthy. So, you get the behavior the incentives curve tells people to enact.

An incentives curve that is set, ironically, by women
