I guess you get a combinatorial explosion for binary operators:

That's not to say that you can't get some value out of it. SQL is probably the closest language currently to implement TVL, and there have been recent works on datalog as well:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2202.01718.pdf

Datalog has generally better defined reasoning than SQL, and can kinda serve duty for typechecking, formal verification.
It's worth noting that many languages have the (disjointed) concept of uninitialised values which are equivalent to TVL (Also note nullable types in eg. C#). As such, from a practical perspective, TVL is pushed out as much as possible from code, I suspect it's of more use for data.
The physics curriculum prepares people to do research on stuff that is published in "physics journals". You may not think that should be the goal but it is. Doing work on Navier-Stokes lands you in a math journal on PDEs.

On a more important note, the actual topics are completely irrelevant. What's important is learning to "think like a physicist". That's what has value even for those who don't go on to do academic research, which is most students. For any given physics topic that is relevant to real-life applications, there are engineers who actually know how to use it, something that would be ridiculous to expect from the superficial treatment a physics degree has to give any one topic.

I'd say "kids these days" but all 3 of our accounts joined in 2010.
Allegedly, they weren't trying to uncover newspaper sources, they were investigating identity theft. I'm not convinced either state or federal law would have applied here, though getting a court order beyond the warrant would have avoided the controversy entirely.

Perhaps they were worried that the evidence would have been deleted if they'd waited.

Or perhaps, they simply really were using it as a cover to raid the office to destroy any info about the chief.

Hopefully time will tell.

It should be noted that ** operator works like .merge, and also accounts for the order of key definition in a given hash declaration (whatever is declared earlier gets overwritten if a key with same name is used in the same hash declaration later).
First, while perhaps a minor quibble, I don't think it makes sense to call something a "false flag" operation when it's merely the result of poor decision making. Otherwise we'd have to call every contracting boondoggle the DoD has been involved in a "false flag," and the term loses all meaning. The distinction is important, because I find it very unlikely that the DoD's involvement in Bigelow's research was at all intentional.

We can point to two things to support this idea: first, that the DoD shut down AATIP apparently just about as soon as the broader executive branch became aware of it. Second, the fairly clear evidence that AATIP was only ever funded because of Sen. Reid's dogged support---in other words, it never really was a DoD initiative, it was Sen. Reid's project (and Sen. Reid's friend) and the DoD was merely the channel for that funding.

After the abrupt and awkward end of AATIP, having produced almost no useful results at all, the DoD replaced it with their own in-house program which has since operated in a far more normal way... without any field trips to Skinwalker Ranch.

Many people, almost everyone I think, radically overestimate the significance of AATIP because they are not familiar with the general world of DoD contracting. AATIP was a tiny project in a massive budget, and one apparently included at the behest of a powerful senator, which is an extremely common way that all sorts of misventures get added to the DoD. There's little evidence that AATIP ever had serious support from any high level of military intelligence, and some evidence that military intelligence mostly ignored it. This kind of thing happens all the time, a simple result of the DoD's secondary function as one of the primary pork barrels for the US Senate. In short, calling AATIP a "false flag" attributes a lot more executive function to the DoD than appears to have happened here, and indeed than happens in the vast majority of small, eccentric DoD projects.

AATIP would have come and gone almost completely unnoticed were it not for the massive press round it received, years later, as a self-serving promotional stunt for the private, for-profit TTSA. TTSA aggressively tried to link itself to AATIP for cachet, but even those links are questionable when inspected closely. That too passed without much impact on anything, but not before other events like the Chinese balloon program thrust UAPs solidly into the media spotlight. This creates an endlessly frustrating situation in which the media, the public, and even apparently some of congress are inclined to interpret current UAP events in the context of the AATIP, even though there is almost no connection between the two.

AATIP is a result of an eccentric millionaire leveraging a very powerful senate connection to capture a bit of flab on the DoD budget for his own self-interest. This kind of thing happens over and over again, it just usually doesn't have the sex appeal of UFOs.

It would be interesting to compare Fake Hacker News with the real deal 1-to-1. Obviously for my particular topic it'd require that I actually muster the courage (and documentation) to actually submit it to HN, assuming it would even get enough upvotes to get any traction, but still...

Maybe add an "I'm feeling uninspired" button that takes a real HN submission and run the LLM on it? Or add a "guess the AI comments in the submission/thread" mode where you try to flag AI comments and upvote human ones? Something that takes it beyond the cool party trick.

Since you read the article, you read the part that explains the owner of the paper, Eric Meyer, emailed the the police chief, Gideon Cody, about the tip along with a screenshot of the DOR record.
True, unfortunately lightning maps doesn't seem to be accurate - at least I had 0 luck with it.

Is nobody here familiar with the notorious problem that is stream-farming? People will upload white noise to Spotify and use phone farms (no idea why VMs [potentially behind VPNs] with [prepaid] Spotify accounts wouldn't work) to scam Spotify out of thousands of dollars every month.

I think every new artist account has a limit of 3000 daily streams per track before they get flagged for botting. The solution is to upload loads of shorts tracks to every artist account, since Spotify only takes streaming numbers into account, and not playtime.

This also has hidden costs for Spotify, such as the unnecessary bandwidth and storage required for all this audio no human even listens to.
It was perhaps less about the actual value proposition and more about a promise that they'd developed some kind of revolutionary new medical testing processes (and not, you know, just running existing diagnostic tests with an inappropriately small sample).
Lawyer here:

AA will definitely lose on 3, it won't be close.

These are all really weak claims, but:

For one, they will have a lot of trouble showing acceptance of a ToS.
It's a loser anyway and they'll likely end up with an antitrust or unfair trade practice counterclaim if they push it too far.

For two, this is a loser even if they can prove most of it (they can't). They would also have to prove the interference happened through an improper method (like blackmail) because the contract can be terminated at will. Even proving intentional interference will not be enough.

This is already basically the hardest tort to prove and I give a near zero chance of success.

It's hard to see this as anything other than a nuisance lawsuit

> I guess the suggestion is she is more likely to be sympathetic to the resturant owner's own old DUI being used in the paper's character attack

The suggestion is that she has politically sensitive information that has been nondisclosed and possibly actively suppressed (it should not be unclear how charges were resolved, especially those that occurred while she was an elected law enforcement official), which is bad and possibly an indication of corruption in and of itself, but it also makes her vulnerable to blackmail, especially from orgabized groups that would have greater access to the information that hasn't been public: like, say, law enforcement.

On top of the issues with the search itself, and the probable cause affidavits supporting the warrant application being filed after the warrant was executed, it adds to the impression that this wasn't sloppy adherence to the correct legal standards for the warrant by the judge and instead a deliberate, knowing, and corrupt official abuse of office, (and not just by the police, where that seemed to be the case whatever happened with the judge.)
> - Craigslist is full of tire kickers who just annoy the crap out of you with stupid questions (for free things!!!)

In my experience listing your stuff for even a couple of dollars greatly reduces this problem. If I want to get rid of something on craigslist for free I just put it on the curb and post the address.

We just need better regulation. Why is it not clearly defined and communicated how, say, a firefighter can take control of a vehicle without having to call the company or break the window to do so? Also, how is it not required that x number of remote operators are ready to take over a car at any second when a car encounters an uncommon situation that makes the car pause or otherwise cause traffic problems?
> there's a reason these got virtually phased out!

Citation needed. In my country they sell very well nowadays so they don't look as they've been phased out at all. And for good reason IMHO: they are much more rustic than heat pumps and are likely going to live for much longer than the later with cheaper maintenance.

Also, as heat can be stored pretty efficiently (and cheaply) compared to electricity, the day/night intermittency isn't so big of a deal.

* The newspaper received the information and forwarded it to the police.

* A city council member also received the information and acted upon it in a public meeting.

* The restaurant owner accused the paper of forwarding the information to the city council member.

* The paper reported on this allegation (and denied it).

* Police also reacted to this allegation.

No, it's not lambdas all the way down. Lisp machines are long gone.

I really wish people would stop teaching the "metacircular" stuff so early. McCarthy even missed metacircularity. It took a genuine genius on the level of Stephen Russell to "get it" and convert everything to a functional programming language.

Tell people to implement a Lisp down on the imperative language of the machine. Suddenly, you will get it. Mutability is a pain in the ass. Recursion has issues. Garbage collection isn't optional--it's required because all of your "lambda" shenanigans are beating the hell out of the allocator and cons-ing up trash like a victim of "Hoarders".

Once you see the guts, suddenly metacircularity makes sense. It also isn't particularly interesting anymore.
All articles which I have read, including this one, have clearly stated that the newspaper didn’t publish the DUI allegation.
Just because some people feel that way, I don't think it's right to project that attitude onto another person you don't know without any evidence that they actually do too.
Some sources are reporting that one death is being investigated as a possible cardiac arrest, still a bit of a stretch.

> I guess that's some juicy details but it reminds me of the critiques by the restaurant owner that the paper in question often acts like a cheap tabloid

If a different newspaper (The Wichita Eagle) reports on the judge's DUI, I don't think that you can legitimately use that information to reinforce your view that the original newspaper was a tabloid.

I do feel it's probative, too: someone with pseudo-corrupt secrets might be more opposed to throwing the book at a newspaper investigating someone else with similar pseudo-corrupt secrets.

That is, the judge who was allowed to break rules of a diversion program while a prosecutor (accumulating a further conviction without triggering further consequences) is judging a business owner friendly with local police who broke rules (driving without a license after DUI).

pg_vector doesn't do nearly as well (relative to a dedicated vector DB) in terms of speed and accuracy. That being said, I think it's still clearly the correct choice in a lot of cases. An order of magnitude speedup may not matter at all at small or medium scale. And pg_vector (or something else) is likely to continue to improve significantly. Contrast that with the costs (in terms of time and money) of running additional infrastructure.

We were required (by the state I believe) to take a comprehensive test assessing our competency at physics. I struggled with test and was disheartened that four years of strenuous effort would be all for naught. I knew I needed to do something to shore up my understanding of physics if I was going to retain the knowledge decades onwards. The other reason was a simple love for the beauty and underlying simplicity of the subject.

Full disclosure: I work for Pinecone, which is conspicuously absent from the write-up despite being the first and most popular vector database.

While it’s great to see efforts to make sense of the (admittedly noisy) vector database market, I’m struggling to grok large chunks of this. For example I can’t tell what the author means by “serverless”, but given that they put a whole bunch of open-source, self-hosted solutions in that part of the diagram it’s definitely not the commmonly understood meaning.

Seems like a lot of vitriol and misunderstanding in these comments, so a few thoughts as someone directly affected by the McDougall Creek fire.

Imagine you run a business, doesn’t matter what kind. Prospects look up your service on, say, Google, where Google in many cases now shows them enough of an extract of your content so that they may never even have to click through to your page to learn about what you do. So you can never analyze, ab test, tag, sign up, retarget or monetize these otherwise-visitors who are no longer clicking through. Effectively Google can be argued to be leveraging your content to make their own page stickier at your expense, eg to sell more ads. How would this make you feel? Turns out many people have a real problem with this, in 2019 I realized this at a telco conference where Rand Fishkin in a keynote was advocating people take this to their members of congress.

Firstly, Bill C18 is not even in effect yet. Secondly, its primarily concerned with the intermediaries reproducing the copyrighted news content or summaries/extracts on their own sites, which is the same situation as above where visitors never come to your site because your content is being reproduced/extracted/summarized elsewhere outside of your control. The matter of links to news articles is one interpretation of the secondary concept of “facilitating access” but as already explained in some of the comments here, thats not actually the core driver of this bill and Meta etc are refusing even to participate in the drafting of the regulations around that despite being invited to do so.

On the ground, here is what is happening today: neighbours evacuated or on alert are posting questions in private neighbourhood groups, on everything from food access, water use to garbage collection, and when answers are behind news articles, Meta is stopping other neighbours from posting links to those articles in response. (Incidentally, use of news in private discussion groups is something specifically exempted by C18).

This “interference” is purposeful by Meta as a calculated protest against a bill that is not yet in effect and isn’t about that use case. Yes, some might call this kind of behaviour bullying.

They can of course do what they want, they’re not under any obligation to let anyone communicate anything. Its really just a reminder to everyone that they’re driven entirely by self interest and not the interests of whichever communities they choose to operate in. By implication this makes them unreliable as an emergency communication utility or as a foundational element of community fabric.

This is another example of someone’s hobby/collection not meaning anything to people that inherit them. If you are a collector and getting older please give away or sell your collection to someone that cares about the same thing before it’s too late.

There have been innumerable collections of things that other collectors or historians would kill for that have been lost because they seem like junk to the people that inherit it. I have ended up collecting vacuum tubes and I almost weep at stories of warehouses of them being junked. There have been plenty of other things like comic books, LPs, cameras, etc. that faced a similar fate. And while I would never argue that collections of these things are all that important in the grand scheme of things collecting is fun and brings enjoyment. If nothing else selling them can bring in a few bucks.

Losing historic pictures is just tragic. Any given historical image could prove to be important in some sort of research.
