The most common belief is that python is intrinsically very hard to execute efficiently. Which seems valid. However there's a conclusion drawn that it must therefore always be slow. Your link has some of the usual points but seems to miss the global interpreter lock which usually attracts blame.

Nevertheless, I maintain that python and javascript are semantically the same thing in terms of the properties that make ahead of time compilation hard. Basically that stuff changes on you at runtime and the type system can express things that static ones cannot. So you have to do the assume + jit + rollback game for either of them, at which point python might have a longer list of stuff that is assumed constant in the prelude.

But then I'm not going to write a proof of this - I'm not confident I have enough life left to clone v8 for python, nor do I have motivation to do so. I expect mojo will end up serving that role. It doesn't have the same semantics yet, but that's the stated goal and I think they'll get there.

When you place bids or asks in a market where some participants are knowledgable ('informed'), the execution of your transaction indicates a likelihood that your counterparty is one of those informed traders.

This should prompt you to adjust your initial bid or ask price. Knowing this dynamic in advance, you can set your initial bid or ask with the assumption that it will be executed by an informed trader, or assuming an X% chance that the trader is informed. This is part of the reason for the existence of bid/ask spreads.

Winner's curse seems similar. When deciding your bid, you have to decide 'if I will in the auction at this price, will I be happy?'.

This is subtly different from "what's the most I'm willing to pay based on the information I have today?".
$1500 USD / year for something that collides with the logo functionality of Gravatar if the user isn't hovering over the logo?

We used to emphasize domains and everyone understood them. Then the large tech companies de-emphasized domains to the point where people stopped understanding them. Now big tech is going to sell domain validation back to us at a premium? Wow! What innovation.

I know there's trademark verification too, but I've never met a normal person that could tell you a difference between a Gravatar logo like the one I see in my mail client and a VMC logo like the one I see in the screenshots, so what good is showing a trademarked logo? Also, most small businesses I've seen don't even have trademarks, so they'll be completely excluded from this system.

I wonder if this is going to turn out like code signing certificates where they're super expensive for small developers, so they get excluded, but they're totally attainable for scammers and scumbags, so there's plenty of malware and garbage signed by certificates from fly-by-night companies.

Does BIMI help you pass spam filters like EV code signing certificates help you bypass SmartScreen? I can't be the only one that thinks all these things feel like a scam.

One thing I'm certain of based on what we see with SSL certificates. Government agencies will be racing to light money on fire buying them. Every year I watch my taxes get spent on overpriced DigiCert OV certificates and it enrages me. For all intents and purposes, all certificates are identical to normal users. It doesn't matter if DigiCert is taking my DNA for validation, all my mom sees is the lock icon. Nothing else matters.

Or it's because the problem is genuinely hard. See above ('imperfect sensitivity')... the same problem exists in e.g. blood tests.

What a delightfully weird product!
It's often stated, often glibly, that actions have consequences. All too often that phrase is used to justify treating people terribly for minor choices.

In this case however someone made a selfish, foolish and risky decision in the face of years of attempts by pretty much all respectable people to change their mind. At the end of the day those actions have consequences, it's the real meaning meaning of "karma" not as some universal moralistic mechanism, but just... cause and effect.

She chose to not take her own or others' well being into account despite warnings and probably her own doctors pleading with her. The effect is that in a competitive, high risk situation she was not prioritized.

> I'm no Meta defender but I'm also very confused about what the legislators thought the law was supposed to do.

Cui bono?

The law was supposed to siphon funding from foreign companies to Canadian media, who the Canadian government are in bed with. That's why it doesn't appear to make sense: it's not public-benefit lawmaking, it's plain ol' corruption. Same as the earlier Australian law (there, it was Rupert Murdoch leaning on the Coalition government which he largely kept in power with his local media empire).

It's why the Canadian government is so apoplectic about it; Meta's unexpected pushback exposes the law to scrutiny it simply cannot withstand, and highlights a rather unsavoury side of the government in having ever passed it.
> "for any <is false?>"

What do you mean here?

"some element doesn't have the attribute" requires a non-empty set.

If you mean "it is false that some element has the attribute", then you need to write that very differently, which makes it much less of a surprise that it has different implications from the "all" statement.
Lol. A study in Norway I believe said they found heart damage in 1 in 34 people soon after booster administration.

Even Fauci himself said, I heard the interview myself, that while a young male is more likely to end up in the ER from a heart issue from the vaccine than he is from covid, that is a worthwhile risk because we know how to treat heart issues and are still learning how to treat covid.

Honestly, it's years in. If you can listen to what Fauci said about heart damage and still think it was proven safe, we are just living in different realities.

You can get a callback when a frame is going to get drawn and only render then. That way you don't render needless frames.

Your logic loop that controls the game state can be set to an optimal tick rate so it's not just maxing out a core.

The audio buffers I've worked with have also supported callbacks so they can remain optimally filled.

Yeah, I wish more games would use this approach, they could for instance have the art assets separate, or do what Factorio does and have matchmaking and the official mod portal to be DRMed. (And/Or give out the source, but not the compiled binaries.)
Public parks saying that is kind of strange because the city or town could already set the rules by enacting an ordinance. Presumably they could also delegate that authority to the parks department. I suppose Parks might be doing it because the city council or mayor isn’t enacting the ordinances they want.

Also worth mentioning that we support our employees working on open source during their Friday projects where they're free to do anything to grow as engineers.

I basically haven't used an apple product (outside of the ipod) since my powermac circa 2003. I got an iPad pretty much entirely for the pencil and Procreate. Both are wonderful but it's a horrible OS otherwise. I don't think I would ever get an iPhone given how inflexible everything feels in that ecosystem.

I thought I might be able to do some light development work on it.. No chance.

I don't even know why it has so much storage space. The file system is so poorly designed it's a pain in the ass to transfer anything to it.

DevOps is a culture but many companies just follow suite and put up a team called "DevOps" without getting into the heart of it.

I think there are a few questions you can ask, but in general there are only two that matter:

1- Does upper management support the team, or, does the company have good engineering culture?

2- Does the team lead have good knowledge, or, does the team gather requirements and other info before pushing out their "DevOps" projects?

BTW I have been thinking about engineering culture. Sometimes people think that a good culture just means a blank cheque, but I think it has to be good on both sides. Upper management should give some freedom but engineering team should also gather enough info and evaluates projects before execution. Sounds like common sense but ask yourself or your neighboring teams: Do you always gather enough info and validate your projects? Have you ever volunteerily turned down a proposal without fear?

I use a text analyzer to help with the search on my notes, and it does provide value for a free text search. It can finds notes that use similar words and phrases, purely by token-match. If I needed to answer questions like you ask, I'd tag my notes, "work" or "todo", and use those.

My hunch is that generative pre-trained transformers can help provide insights, and I'm interested in trying it out. For those struggling with their note-taking systems and stuck with exact/regex matching, the ideas in this article, while not new to me, would provide some ideas. Leaning on "AI" to be the answer to a mess of random notes probably won't get the value this article is hyping.
usually i read the wikipedia articles about the disease and the common treatments, a couple dozen papers starting from google scholar via pubmed and sci-hub, maybe a relevant medical textbook via libgen. also talk to family members and friends about the issue. you can also find papers in medical journals and the mmwr on the prevalence of possible complications from different kinds of biopsies

this takes a little longer than undergoing the biopsy, but it's enormously more pleasant, and it lets you know when doctors are ignorant or lying, which is perhaps even more important information. it's orders of magnitude easier than undergoing chemo and radiation so i don't know why 'eager but uneducated' laypeople don't always do it. maybe they're too used to living in a world without sci-hub and libgen

it's also easier when it's not the first time

Are you implying they had no right to do that?
No offense to the maintainers of the 'performance' and 'gaming' kernels, but they're usually not that well maintained. TBF, I haven't tried ALL of them, but a lot of the popular ones. They usually configure 'odd' defaults that risk stability (in the 'staying up' sense, as well as data integrity sense).
> The irony for a lot of the prepper community is that the most efficient "off grid" social structure is concept that they strongly oppose, the commune. A small community working together for a common good in a shared space.

I have a feeling that the opposition of preppers to the commune is a rather US-American thing. In other countries I rather sense that some kind of small commune is at least accepted as a necessary evil among preppers to increase the chance of success/survival.
It should be possible to have an authorized and unauthorized repair center in the same building, maybe even same store, as legally distinct entities.

Look more to the environments and secondary characters instead of just the protagonist. The English gothic horror is strong in the Tessier-Ashpool clan and the whole orbital scene.

But as I recall, we also sought goth in other places and characters. The whole metaverse with AI running amok, and the Corto/Armitage character being almost a reverse Frankenstein's monster, for example.

I do think there was something interesting about the idea that adding the element to the input array doesn't change the result. It's a little tricky to formalize though.

If we define an "aggregation" agg over some set S as a function from S* (the "Kleene star", AKA the free monoid over S, AKA really just simple arrays of S) to S, and we identify some element i such that

agg([i] concat X) == agg(X) == agg(X concat [i])

for all X in S*, that does feel very "identity-ish". It's a little bit like saying [i] is an identity of concat under the equivalence relation on S* that X~Y iff agg(X) == agg(Y)? In the same way that 7 is an identity of + under the equivalence relation "mod 7" (paraphrasing).

But note that:

sum([-2, 2] concat X) == sum(X) == sum(X concat [-2, 2])

for all X as well. You could say "well obviously, because sum([-2, 2]) == sum([0]) and [0] is our identity element" but then we're implicitly assuming that agg(X concat Y) = agg(X) @ agg(Y) for some operator @. Which in turn is basically assuming we've built agg up from a monoid to begin with, and the novelty here would be what happens when we don't do that. There may be some interesting (if not useful) stuff here.

if there exists some operator @: (S, S) -> S such that:

agg(X concat Y) == agg(X) @ agg(Y)

For all X, Y in S*, and if :

agg([i] concat X) == agg(X) == agg(X concat [i])

for all X in S*, then must agg([i]) be an identity element of @? Certainly that's true if agg is onto (i.e. we can find every element of S via agg of some S*). But it can't really be true in general, because we could make degenerate agg functions like

ignore(X) := 0

Now every element of S meets this condition:

ignore([s] concat X) == ignore(X) == ignore(X concat [s])

So we have every element of S as this weird kind of "identity" of the "ignore" function. And we can find functions on S* with no "identity" of this kind: "count", for instance. Although that's cheating because it only works when S happens to be the natural numbers (otherwise agg is not a function from S* -> S).

Trust me, this part of the world gets plenty hot in the summer, yet people make do in mobile homes. At least people here are given the choice to suffer through a hot summer in a home they own.

You can set building codes to be arbitrarily high such that nobody will ever suffer the indignity of straying from a 72 degree, 45% relative humidity indoor environment. The only downside to that, of course, is that nobody will able to afford a house.

No... I use an iPad with Magic Keyboard case daily.

It works pretty well for things designed for keyboard and pointing device -- one of my main uses is to remote in to a Windows machine.

The main problems with this setup aren't inherent... while the track pad is quite good, the keyboard is passable at best (needs function keys and for the frequently used keys to stop semi-dying).

Pretty quickly you start to naturally switch between touching the screen, typing on the keyboard or using the trackpad, depending on what you're doing and what software you're using.

Now my wife laughs at me when I'm using a regular MacBook and try to swipe or tap the screen.
I was a C64 cracker and added intros (with ripped Rob Hubbard tunes and border sprite scrollers).

Much of the disk protection was laughable, Ocean games been an example.

They had a routine that would return 1 in the A register so the crack was to load the accumulator with 1, do a nop to fill the gap and continue

I could crack their games in about a minute with a disk sector editor I wrote that would disassemble the game on disk by reading the sectors for the game.

The hardest crack I did was EA’s Skate or Die. It had self modifying code in the copy protection which took quite a while to unwind loops.

I also cracked Ghosts and Goblins, or maybe it was Ghosts and Ghouls, on the Amiga. The chumps who made the disk left the source code to the boot loader on the disk as a deleted file. I undeleted it and “fixed” the boot loader.

Oddly, I worked in copy protection many years later.
Are you referring to Lua, the language?

Or its implementation details (written in C)?

If the later, how does that make Lua, the language, bad?
What I don't understand, and perhaps I'm trying to apply logic to things that are outside of it :

The ostensible reason the border officers have these powers is to protect the country. We don't want undesirable types allowed in (let's defer the fun of defining the undesirable types:).

But... This feels like "real time process". You let somebody in or you don't. How does confiscating the phone and keeping it for five months aid in this? Is the assumption that any evil deed would take 6 months to execute? And that if we discovered something bad on the phone, five months later we'd have an easy time catching the owner?

Basically,in which twilight universe is searching a phone off line for months part of border security prerogatives?? Is it not obvious to everybody involved that this search is for purposes, good bad or ugly, other than border protection? How is this not even addressed in any of these articles or rulings?
Off-the-cuff; there are certainly more categories.

Notes related behavior is a good place to find ideas, but not a good goal itself. 'Notes' is where information lands which isn't being specifically captured. Looking at your organization's notes will draw the outline of the system which isn't present, what feature the present system is missing, or what training doesn't cover.
exactly this. i am just in the process of upgrading the framework of a site that has been built this way. the thing is that the default tools all push towards using buildtools, bundlers and transpilers. so i had to dig a little bit until figured out how to do it without.

in the process i asked myself why go through the trouble and not just use the build tools like everyone else. and i came pretty much to the same answer. when i need to make some changes to the site in a few years, i do not want to be stuck with having to figure out how to get 5 year old build tools working before i can even start working on the site.

the current site, btw was build in 2016, and it still works, and i was able to dive in with adding new features without delay. the upgrade of the framework is optional, because i want to take advantage of new features not because the site would have stopped working otherwise.
thanks, I see my misunderstanding now
Show HN: ERC-7432: Non-Fungible Token Roles
Hello there!

I'm excited to introduce a new Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) that I've been part of, and it's now at the review stage. The EIP in question is ERC-7432: Non-Fungible Token Roles, a Access Control standard for NFTs.

ERC-7432 introduces a novel concept: Role Management for NFTs, which enables NFT holders to share the utility of their NFTs through expirable role assignments. In a nutshell, this means that NFTs can have specific roles associated with them, which can grant other accounts certain privileges and access rights. These roles automatically expire at designated timestamps. To add a layer of flexibility, roles are defined as bytes32 and come with a customizable _data field of any size.

The motivation behind ERC-7432 is to establish a standard for role management in NFTs. This paves the way for decentralized applications (dApps) to implement access control for privileged actions. Imagine scenarios like airdrop claim rights or minting tokens with specific roles. NFT roles can also be integrated deeply into dApps, creating utility-sharing mechanisms. For example, think about digital real estate where you can grant role-based access to different users without compromising ownership.

We believe that this proposal has immense potential to reshape the NFT landscape and foster innovation within the blockchain ecosystem. That's why we're turning to you, the community, for feedback! We value your insights and perspectives, and we're eager to refine this proposal based on your thoughts.
