Their aim clearly seems to be the destruction of Israel.

So, hmm, is the Guardian an useful idiot or is it more sinister?
I'm sure you are right they are behind desired levels. But the shortage of ammunition and problems ramping up production in NATO is well reported on. Manufacturers are reluctant to invest in increased production unless they get long term guarantees for the ammunition.

The South Koreans are selling ammunition to US to give to Ukraine. The world hasn't seen a war on this scale for many decades.
It is entirely reasonable for the business to say "we need X in Y weeks" — it still might not be possible, most of the time engineers can make _something_.

What's unreasonable is saying "we need X in Y weeks, and it needs to be done properly". It will take a certain amount of time to do anything properly, and that doesn't change with pressure.
That's the post about sunsetting the tokens mentioned in the article, I'm talking about a post discussion the mods' dumping the tokens.
Actually no, they are reducing different ethnic groups to what is becoming the current norm: everyone being mixed.

Inside cities, no one is specifically looking for a member of their own tribe to marry so the ability to identify ethnic groups by facial features is collapsing.
Participants were given a disproportionate number of positive statements for projects A and C so each participant may be biased towards a more positive interpretation of the somewhat ambiguous statements (sufficiently ambiguous to cause 20% of individuals to make different judgements without that initial bias).

Even if the information was interpreted consistently by each individual, the benchmark of success is still biased against collaborative decision-making. The possibility that the collective judgment is different, and perhaps better, is precluded by the assumption that the group should reach the same judgements as individuals.

If the group produced more balanced or well-informed judgements due to the distribution of expertise, would that be interpreted here as a failure of information efficiency and "decision-making quality"?
Those things actually exists and are called NPU (Neural Processing Unit). Many recent ARM CPU have them (Apple, Qualcomm, etc.) and even new RISC-V CPU. They're different from GPU in being even more constrained in programming requiring usage of a fixed function vendor-supplied library.

> Focusing on the causes of violent or antisocial behavior instead of fulfilling a desire for punishment, he said, "will allow us to adopt more humane and effective practices and policies."

I actually agree with this view, and I think this statement is relevant and true whether you believe in free will or whether you’re a hard determinist.

I am a hard determinist though so maybe it’s just easier for me to agree.
Never really needed to know this stuff because compiler does all the translation, but low level programming like training AI would be useful. Is that a correct assumption?
Ask HN: Where do you sit?
For a few years now I’ve been sitting in a standard $200-something Costco-bought chair and while the quality is good I find myself slipping from the net-like materia and ending up in a weird hunching position very often during the day. This leads to some neck and back pain happening a couple of times during the year.

I was wondering where do HN users sit and if they recommend it.
To be fair, Progressive Web App is a pretty stupid nomenclature.
Would you stop being poor after AI unlocks being a trillionaire?

Or maybe you might be still poor, because AI is not trained to be working for the poor people.

AI will not unlock communication with animals, because 99.9% species of animals doesn't create sanitize data for training a LLAMA (not YAMA).

When the animals will learn to speak and develop a symbolic language, maybe AI could develop communication with them. In the meanwhile, keep using LATIN ALPHABET DERIVATIVES IN HIGH ORDER LANGUAGES to develop machines and algorithms and transform them to the Gregorian Calendar to count ticks in a processor an create Human Readable Datetime types to keep record of your *nixonian alchemy finances.

We all love the 70s. Hippies, Yuppies and SuperCows commands.

PD: Take LSD and convert to Buddhism if you want to speak with animals, it is cheaper and pollutes less this communal IDE people use to create coins and stocks.

> the real world […] Python 2

I think what kills me most is when you encounter these codebases in the real world and you're like "wait … this entire startup is younger than Python 3 significantly", and younger than the point where there was good support from the ecosystem…

Double bonus points these days if younger than the Python 2 deprecation date…

(And yet every security team lists some variant of "keeping stuff updated" in their process docs, somehow.)

I had previously thought of the similar idea, making diagrams similar to the ones in that article.

The article does not mention "debit" and "credit", although that is what they are doing; the arrows point toward the debit side, and they are using the convention of debits being positive and credits being negative. (Since the sales amount is a credit amount and the amount of money you have is a debit amount, so the sales amount appears negative due to this.)
Humanity did not save itself from climate catastrophe when it had a chance.
>I that this is going to end much more badly than people realize.

The state of web surveillance today will seem quaint compared to what's coming. Things like Quest 3 and Apple Vision are going to be just the beginning of it, but once everyone is walking around with AR devices, you will have no option of opting out of the point cloud. These companies will have a realtime graph of where and what everyone in public is doing at all times, even those who've never used any services. It's terrifying.

> None, which is why the 2nd Amendment is a joke at our own expense.

The second amendment (along with other aspects of the Constitution relating to the militia) is largely an attempt at protection against our own government setting up large dedicate internal and external security forces which would naturally become insular subcultures (the internal security forces being the most critical one, though external services were a threat because they have a history of being called on for internal security when the government feels particularly threatened), by instead protecting the capacity for and promoting the use of a small permanent cadre supplemented by the militia of the general citizenry for both purposes.

It completely failed both as to external and internal security, but it wasn't a bad idea. (Ironically, the people most hyped about the second amendment also tend to be rather aggressively in favor of giving more resources, responsibility, and leeway to permanent security forces, both internal and external, and are violently opposed to people who promote things like defunding the police.)
I think there are a couple of things wrong with this comment and analogy.

Its not clear the author is demanding 'from first principle'.
Second, not everybody in university needs the knowledge of flight or the ability to do it themselves - and there are alternatives to flight.

Finally, there is a upfront and physical limits to what can be done to the process of flying. Computing and the framework to think about them are endlessly malleable (and applicable).

If I take some of the BS being sold today and transplant them back into the aviation metaphor i can only describe it as a donkey ride being sold as flight. So many customer don't have the knowledge to tell the difference.

What resonates with me here (and why i don't like this comparison) is what i believe are the ingredients critical to progress. That is: Only when we've figured out how to make something simple can we build on those foundations and take huge leaps forward. There is a limit to how far or high we go when things get too complex. Similar to the idea of technical debt but at the scale of humanity.

Tragically we're very bad at recognizing those eureka moments in history when things became an order more simple because naturally we look a back and assume they're obvious.
Also, there's the fact that there are so many grand stories to tell in a fictional universe. If "epic" events are happening in it all the time, then they're actually humdrum, and the stakes are pretty low, so the audience has no reason to care. At the extreme, you enter soap opera or monthly comic book territory, where the writers have to come up with new storylines for decades on end, and the result is that nonsense and self-parody becomes normal, because you've exhausted every possibility in the space of reasonable stories. Characters become empty costumes with no personality (because every possible story with their original personalities has been done), the same sequence of beats gets recycled over and over with new characters and props slotted in (the Star Wars sequel trilogy is a notorious example of this), etc.

And all this happens because, at the margin, new content is still profitable to make, but every piece of new "content" (gag) drains a little bit of the magic out.
The cost and price scale non linearly to the amount of change. So, waiting to refactor has an exponentially higher cost the longer you wait whereas doing lots of small refactoring as you go has a relatively low cost. To the point where it's just negligent not to do it. You can spend five or ten minutes cleaning up a little or you skip it. Not doing it is sloppy. Just apply the boy scout rule.

People have the wrong reflexes where being overly conservative and fearful to change a working system eventually leads to a system that becomes so hard to fix that people stop bothering to even try and just replace or retire it in the end. Which is very expensive and destructive of course. Usually such decisions become a reality when people leave or change teams and it turns out there's nobody around that even has a clue where to begin fixing the old thing. Getting rid of the thing then becomes the logical choice.

Calling it technical debt is a way of talking yourself into believing you can deal with it later. Quite often that doesn't work out that way. Another fallacy is believing the debt is something with a fixed/known price that you can pay off at the time of your choosing. You can't; it's literally risk that accumulates that you haven't properly analyzed and estimated yet. Some of it might be fixable, some of it might not be. You won't know for sure until you sit down and do the work. Deferring the process of finding out is what gets teams into trouble. The less you know what you can still fix the more likely it is that the cost has become stupendously high.

Half the work is just knowing what needs doing and how it needs to be done. That doesn't mean you do the work right away. But spending a lot of time chin stroking over stuff you could do without actually doing stuff (aka. analysis paralysis) is also not productive. Finding a balance between knowing what needs doing and then just balancing new stuff vs. making sure that the cost of that new stuff isn't overly burdened by broken old stuff is the name of the game. Having a lot of technical debt usually translates into work that ought to be quick, simple, and easy being anything but those things. So, the technical debt metaphor means that you burden the cost of future essential work with that extra burden. Until you fix it, it only gets worse and worse. You pay the interest on every change until you fix the problem. And you won't know how expensive that is until you do it.

That's why you should refactor a little bit all the time. Low cost, it lowers your risk, and it keeps you aware of all the pain points and weak points in your system.
Would you stop eating vegetables after AI unlocks communication with plants? No... and No.
The trouble with chair recommendations is that the best chair for me isn't the best chair for you. If you are able, going to a warehouse or store of some kind where you can try the chairs out will make all the difference.

To answer your q directly: I have tried Herman Millers in the past but they just didn't do it for me, too stuffy and I dislike the arms. I went for a Humanscale Diffrient World instead, it is all mesh which is perfect for summer. I'm able to lead a sedentary lifestye in it without discomfort.

I'm aware that what's in Google's phones aren't capable of doing the on-device ML inference they claim. You might want to actually read what both I and the article are addressing in particular beyond the broad "generative AI" umbrella that you and other philistines new to the field are imagining aren't capable of being performed on device.
Whataboutism will not convince anyone.

The rest is advanced mental gymnastics. It's hard to convince someone when their greed depends on them not understanding it.
This kind of optimization is a main motivator for lexical scope, going back to 1960-something, so we make an exception for it and educate the users: your local variables are aggressively optimized: subject to allocation in registers, constant propagation and folding.

We are not relying on specifics about bar(), just the general assumption that up until the return 0, the program hasn't done anything incorrect which interferes with what we want to do.

It's a different reasoning from "this loop cannot terminate because i++ never goes negative, so we can cheerfully remove the code after it, including the return instruction."
Different Names for the Same Operation
My 2 cents hypothesis : as some food “kills” many organism (garlic for exemple is an excellent gut cleaner), you also benefit to re-fill “good” organism like those in yoghurt.
There was one, but it was downvoted and the mods nuked it.
True. Without exercises I would say you learned close to nothing.
Not OP, but I don't see why one would need to parse this at all. You can just step through the characters one byte at a time and execute them, using only a stack memory for return addresses to implement the [] behavior. No syntax tree needed.
Demographic breakdowns would be interesting, because there are always people going both way between any two states.

I remember reading that there were quite a few elderly Texans moving to California for a reason that you probably would not expect: taxes.

Texas does not have a state income tax. They make up for that with high sales tax and high property tax.

California does have a state income tax. It also has a high sales tax, which is about the same average rate as Texas (the state rate is lower in Texas but local rates are high so it comes out about the same). Property taxes are lower in California. It is #16 among states when sorted from low to high property taxes. Texas is #45. Rates are about 2.4x as high in Texas.

Thus if you are a retired homeowner in Texas considering moving to California it comes down to whether the lower property taxes will outweigh state income tax.

California state tax does not apply to Social Security, so if your income is mostly that and low tax investments (like a Roth IRA) it can quite easily turn out that you won't pay much if any California income tax.

Importance of Goal Clarity for Delegation [video]
Computer languages are languages in which is written by people and interpreted by machines (and people).

The argument: 'you shouldn't have written the code that way, because it breaks a rule stated in this large UB book' is a bit petty to say the least.

What about making it (almost) impossible to write UB code, wouldn't that be better for all? In the example shown, the compiler could simply throw an error stating that signed integers are not fit to be used as array indexes. Yes, such change of rules in the language would break backward compatibility, but adapting such code to the new rules would be a benefit anyway.
I think people were too quick to believe that AI will let you talk to animals article that came out last week. AI in it's current iteration needs clean training data... none exists for animal voices. And that probably isn't changing any time soon. Beyond maybe: "I'm hungry."

With that said, if it did happen, it would 100% depend on what they had to say.

We should be alarmed about any money system that has the properties that give way to gambling and ponzi-like systems. I would not hesitate to criticize both the money system and the con artists who took advantage of it, when it's so clear that the money system's rules have such inevitable outcomes. I don't mind abolishing any of the money systems that turn out to be harmful and are pushed without broad sociopolitical consent.

Well, yes, but not a single NATO country is on a war footing or has invoked war-time levels production contracts the way Russia has. The current contracts just represent more capacity from existing plants, and are far from the huge investment and retooling that would come with a shift to a wartime economy.

I've become the "grump" at my workplace for disliking Marvel movies. The entire reason is they're formulaic, predictable, cheesy, etc.

The push-back on my grumpiness is usually along the lines of "No they're not, they're awesome!" -- for which I can't really debate: if the person really likes them then it's just a matter of opinion. But often another opinion is to dismiss my critique as a "Who cares? If they [fans] enjoy it, then so what? They enjoy their thing and you enjoy yours?"

But it reinforces your point that these things have just been watered down for the most mass audience possible. There's no "art" in them anymore. And whatever originally made them special has been distilled to a formula so that "they" (the fans, maybe not the original fanbase though) can just enjoy the formula. The popcorn-movie aspect of them.

It isn't just comic movies and Star Wars/Trek, but also things like The Fast and The Furious movie franchise too.

In recent years Martin Scorsese had been vocal against Marvel movies [1], and he's received hate from Marvel fanatics since [2]. But I agree with him.

Could? Yes. Do we want it to? Not really. We already have private banks, and a lot of them with which to choose to take our business who are all bought into ensuring the stability of the Federal Reserve system through their ownership of the 12 system banks. Undermining either the Federal Government or the private banks would undermine the entire system.
Authy and KeepassXC.

The idea is that if I have access to my phone number, I can recover the 2FAs using Authy. If I don't, I can use any free software to look at the KDBX such as KeePassXC where I've got the TOTP seed, and use that to login.

Both Authy and the KDBX require remembering a password.

255 is the maximum array size representable with an unsigned byte. It is possible that old relational DBs could optimize arrays with sizes < 256.

I remember that the ancient Pascal dialect I used in college had max array sizes of 255 because they used a single byte for the size.
The current generation of AIs are Internet simulators.

Imagine watching as many people search the Internet for ____ then watching which pics they click on. That is what our current generation of AIs do.

If you watch many people ask the Internet for a picture of a Nigerian person, then see what pics they like, you get a stereotype of a person from Nigeria.

That is what the AIs do.

I think those who are unhappy with this state of affairs disagree with our society more than they disagree with anything else. I wonder how many people they got mad at over pronouns in the last year.

> many of these myths are things I’ve never heard before. I’m wondering how prevalent some of these really are.

It would be very odd for the average person to worry about who coined the term "microbiota", how many bacterial cells there are per gram, the weight of the human microbiota, etc. I'm guessing many of these myths are encountered only in niche communities that nonetheless deserve addressing—I'd guess that most of these myths don't interact with the average or median human.
