I didn't always hold this opinion, but currently I believe general build (and deploy, integration, etc) engines should never be anything more than a logically controlled workflow engine, capable of transparently querying your system, but never directly changing it.

It should allow for any random code to be executed, but by themselves they shouldn't provide any further feature.

Ant is not like that. In fact, the Ant script was always a programming language. It lacked some flow control features, but if you have a sequence of declarations that should run one after the other, it's an imperative programming language already, you don't need loops and conditionals to qualify to that.

Look into "Chaos Theory", "Control Theory" and "Damping".

In particular, consider how you would damp an undesired movement by a satellite. A naive approach would be to apply thrust in the opposite direction. However, the control can't be exact, leading to thrust -> thrust <- over and over, eventually to the measurement limit of the thruster's control.

With a large mass, it's replaced with a spring, and converted to heat.

Is it really true that those bugs aren't getting fixed? There's a commit on July 18th to SwiftShader that seems to be addressing exactly the bug described in this report:

No one is asking for a survey of apps that do this. You’re making the claim that it’s far from rare, so you have enough knowledge to make this claim. Share with us the smallest piece of your knowledge by naming one single other app that does this. It’s the least you can do since you’re making the claim. Please, I’m very curious!
Rumours in the national press are a lot more influential in allocating police resources to finding evidence and interviewing suspects than rumours in the local pub.

Not really sure why you're continuing to insist on a Sherlock Holmes style resolution where everyone's been charged and all evidence is in the public domain within the first couple of months, but what is evident is that it hasn't been abandoned like it often would have been by now.
Why is weather news on HN?
Interestingly, even thought type-in-type is inconsistent, there are no normal terms of the “empty” type. So, if you restrict to normal terms you do not get full explosion. There are however types A such that both A and not A have normal terms. It is just that if you combine them with modus ponens the term diverges.

Another cool thing is that type-in-type is inconsistent, but has models. In particular, Palmgren constructed a model, based on domain theory, of Martin-Löf type theory with type-in-type.
The cool thing is, it's built using Web Components on the frontend.

It's still surprising because the language model was only trained on text, and is generalizing to compressing other forms of data using in-context learning. The model contains no information about images or audio.

But yes, no one is suggesting it as a practical compression tool due to the large size and compute requirements.
It states that there are 10% less glaciers in Switzerland than 2 years ago. So they have melted significantly. It fits the climate alarmism that sells papers and makes people think the world is ending. The amount of ice on Earth oscillates with the Milankovitch cycles and occasionally increases or decreases rapidly with major volcanic eruptions and cosmic impacts and sun activity. The last increase in ice was the so called "little ice age" (1300-1850). I do not believe that any amount of glacier melting is out of the ordinary for Earth. To me the only value articles like this provide is distributing observations of current ice levels and trends.

This is an amazing story. Thanks for posting.
French isn't my first (or even second) language, so I'm no authority either, but from sentences like "la pornographie s’inscrit dans une haine raciste" they seem to mean that, when they label performers things like "beurette" and "negro," they participate, discursively, in racist violence. If that's the case, their idea of violence is probably far broader than what the average French citizen recognizes.

The part that amazes me, though, is that they don't seem to believe that the person being called "whore" or "salope" or whatever can have consented to such "violence." On the one hand, if we believe the offense being committed isn't against the performer herself but against women in general, it makes some sense. On the other hand---wtf?
I like Cue and Dhall that aren't Turing complete which is important feature for configuration language that can be run by someone else.

I think some of the problems come from different areas using similar languages. There are data serialization langugages, JSON is good for this. Then there are configuration languages, which need to be human editable, YAML is good for this. Then there are configuration languages that generate configurations. Shoehorning this into YAML/JSON makes a mess. Better to have dedicated language and output JSON for API.
> Suhag Shukla, the executive director of advocacy group Hindu American Foundation, said that the bill would give California businesses a “license to discriminate against South Asians”. The group has lobbied against the bill, saying its passage would trigger a rise in Hinduphobia.

Indian (northern states) : Hindu (Brahman) name, from Sanskrit šukla ‘white’, ‘bright’, ‘pure’. A shukla Brahman was supposed to take up only shuklavritti ‘pure employment’, i.e. maintenance derived from serving or begging from Brahmans only.

You would appear to be correct.

He argued against stopping it. I don't care how he calls it.
Neat solution! Yes, I'm aware of `/↥`, but it finds maximum within a single array of values of the same shape. But what if I have two values of the same shape? E.g. `↥[][1]` throws an error. So I have to either `fill` them to the same shape or use `grade`.
> Reminds me of a school class mate who had a very low success rate with girls, and switched successfully to better odds by a similar strategy: "If you talk about you, and your life, and where you come from for ten minutes, and she is still there listening, then you know you have a chance."

Reminds me how I found my current piano teacher. I'd bang incessantly on the white keys with the pedal fully depressed for a full ten minutes. If the teacher hadn't thrown me out by that point, I knew I'd found a good one.

Now that she's got me on energy drinks and ear plugs and I can go a full four hours without stopping. We think that should be enough music to start getting some paying gigs at restaurants. So I'm using the same 10 minute white-key bang session for my auditions to filter out the good restaurants, but unfortunately I haven't found any yet.

Still, my teacher says to keep my head up and my ear plugs in. As long as I continue with the lessons the gigs are sure to come.

All in all it's an incredibly satisfying and productive relationship!
> users keep shoving more complexity into that YAML since it's the only tool they have to interface with $THING, and all of a sudden nobody can comprehend what is actually going on just by reading it.

I like YAML for exactly what you describe but people abuse it then complain it sucks.
I think we would be able to detect it. We can navigate spacecraft with high accuracy.

If you can get a spacecraft somewhere in the vicinity of a black hole of decent mass (like a 10km asteroid equivalent) we could probably detect changes in trajectory of the spacecraft from the gravitational attraction.

Or, here's an idea, blow out a tonne of radar chaff in the vicinity of the black hole and watch for how it disperses via radar.

We could also try detecting Hawking radiation that a BH should generate, though that might be pretty faint (I have not done the math).

I wonder how does this in CPU performance compare to the new Jetson Orin Nano?

20-30 feet change over what timeframe? The resolution of the chart data in the article is about 30 seconds. While I think the fluctuation is due to the accuracy of instrumentation, 20-30 feet change over the course of a minute seems like nothing.
I mean, if you grant USB access to an untrustworthy web site, it's game over – you can probably just read the serial number of at least one of these devices over USB.
It also has to do with how legitimization works within the Chinese culture. Things with lineages and ancestors are more seen as more legitimate, and the Chinese (historically at least) are not above borrowing it.

Related is the complex and rich history of Chinese martial arts. If you ask for the oral tradition for any modern school claiming a lineage, it is often founded by a mythical founder — maybe some Shaolin monk, or a Taoist monk. There is a good case that martial art lineages are much more likely to have evolved out of military skills. It does not help that most practitioners were illiterate, and often not well-educated.

What I don’t know is if the literate class also borrowed legitimacy. I don’t think they did, because I don’t think they had to.
The Testing Puzzle: Integration and E2E – Piecing It Together
This is so silly. We make our educators beholden to businesspeople who run sporting arenas so we can still charge our kids tens of thousands of dollars to spend 4+ years of their life on something that has maybe a 50% chance of paying itself back over time.

Meanwhile other countries just fund public education and subsidize tuition. shrug
Automatic comment whenever univerity athletic programs are brought up. "It makes money", with the implication "..therefore it is all good" not even spelled out.

The original intent was to offer a well-rounded education that includes physical activity. Healthy body healthy mind. Nerds who are also in shape. This concept is lost by creating a pro athlete caste within a school, students more respected for their success on the field than in the classroom. Maybe sports is truly subsidizing academics, but then again if 280 Million are spent on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQIGwxsVv1E, is there enough institutional focus on academics?

I have been wondering for years why solar powered pyrolysis wasn't being used to recycle plastics. I thought it could reduce ALL plastics to an oil soup kinda like crude, which could then easily be separated by a distillery into various useful hydrocarbon oils for making new plastics/fuels. However now I'm starting to understand: the resulting soup is more toxic than crude and is difficult/expensive to distill, while the volatile byproducts that don't condense are another toxic liability. Bummer.

You know that meme about deep learning engineers saying "JuSt AdD lAyErS"? This feels like the "matter" version of that.

We don't call "ether" a precursor to modern theories, we call it a wrong theory, because there is no substance "ether" which exists. We don't say try to justify their use of the word "ether" because of some tenuous you-know-what-they-meant wink-and-nod, it was just wrong. Newtonian mechanics was at least right in the limit.

At least with the atoms example it's a useful abstraction (see: atomic physics, chemistry) but there's no use to positing matter exists if the mechanism is really completely different from invisible matter. We could just as easily call it "the galactic explanatory gap" and maybe name it after someone who did a lot of work on it, maybe "the Zwicky tension" or something, without asserting the nature of the issue so strongly.
And it sucks so horribly to the point that it's nearly unusable in modern group chats (or, rather, MMS is the protocol that's used for group chats and that one also sucks horribly).
Those are nice. I remember using my first set of panniers about 20 years ago; they did not have this locking mechanism, I went over a bump, and all of my groceries spilled all over the street. I ordered a set of Ortleib panniers a few minutes later, and have not been disappointed in the intervening 20 years.
My office is 7.1 miles away and I go FSD there and back. Perhaps it's where I live is conducive to functional operation, but it works. Perhaps the difference is that unlike a lot of people who try FSD, I keep my eyes on the road and not watching something like Harry Potter
You may find it worthwhile to reach out to local community colleges, because once you're "in the group" you can find people doing various things, and they're often not advertising, but will be willing to take a bit of cash on the side.

Due to little info coming out of Cambodia at the time, from what I read, Chomsky said he underestimated the immensity of the genocide, not that he denied it. Later he acknowledged it, you make it sound he's some sort of Holocaust denier.
Funnily Chomsky gets a lot more flack for incorrectly assessing the gravity of the Khmer Rouge killings in the late 70s while the US foreign policy which was intstumental in keeping Pol Pot in power at certain points where it was convenient geostrategically are considered par for the course.

University expenditures on libraries have been stagnant at best for decades. This includes those "various learning platforms and knowledge hubs." The digitization of collections and repurposing of facilities is driven by cost cutting as well as hampered by it. Archival storage is not cheap (the conditions for special collections drive many librarians to drink) and renovating century old stacks into usable people space requires capital expenditures few libraries can scrape together.

At the same time, Elsevier et al take larger and larger bites out of the budget for those digitized collections. The failure to invest in University presses will only exacerbate this in the long term. Attempts to provide an alternative to the for-profit parasites, e.g. open access platforms, wallow in grant funded misery with budgets considered laughable in the private sector.
It includes a server as well, at least for shadowing an x11 desktop.

I don't know if grievance studies is a cause of tuition bloat. Most of the departments I know to be labeled as grievance studies were founded well before tuition increased, so it makes not much sense to attribute them to increased tuition. The increase in tuition hews much more closely with the decrease in government funding to these institutions, which requires more tuition from students, which means students desires must be catered to... so increased lifestyle luxuries makes sense there...

I think a good summary of the things that most people agree on to some extent is Michael Pollan's advice from The Omnivore's Dilemma (2006): "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

Obviously there are a lot of details to fill in, but the first part boils down to avoiding processed foods. The other two are pretty straightforward.

As mentioned by others, physical activity and stress management are just as important, and social connections tend to be positively correlated with health as well.

I think the problems come in when you realize how many people pushing specific diets have agendas beyond health, as well as the fact that there is no specific diet that is perfect for everyone.
How much of ZIRP-inflated capital went into chasing fanciful ventures like UberEats, Wework, Doordash, Airbnb, crypto and Twitter? State-run capitalism channeling funds into strategically important areas feels like a breath of fresh air compared to handing it to venture capitalists.
Not the only problem. Internal combustion engines use oxygen from the air, so vehicles do not have to carry it. The reduction in mass is substantial, and directly translates to less tire and road wear. EVs carry all their chemistry all the time.
I do, but I would argue that local community colleges is still most certainly in the "university system", just another tier/flavor of it. I would consider participating in community college activities to be participating in academic institution style activities that also happen at universities.
