> Each of these recognizes the benefit to society of temporary restriction of freedom of others to use the ideas that were invented/transmitted by others.

I'd say that in the context of intellectual property the correct word would be 'postulates' not 'recognizes'.

Benefit to society is hard to proove or measure. It's implied. What's very easy to measure is a benefit to minority of rich people at the expense of the society.
Ask HN: Learn Graphics Programming, Recommendations?

I Was Not a Nazi Polka by Chad Mitchell Trio
That's not really true though is it? A lot of the speed and interesting bits for HPC would come in the form of ISA extensions, and the paper even mentions challenges in this area due to the chip only supporting version 0.7.1 of the RVV vectorisation extension.

Regardless, I imagine in HPC you'll want to recompile anyway to get the most bang for your buck, unless you're doing a short run. Why throw away performance if you'll be running your code for days or months?
Do you have a link to just the 2 patches (in patch form) that could be before on a kernel tarball to revert these 2 changes?

I'm specifically saying about `let` syntax in this particular language. LISP and related languages also have `let` with substantially different semantics, but it's evident that it wouldn't make much sense given current examples.
That's a symptom effectively, AV block is just ascribing a name to that description, it's not a disease or injury itself, though yes there may be some underlying cause of it.

It's not like they accidentally started permitting it, because if the rule was 'now pilots with first degree AV block are good to go' is the same thing as saying 'now pilots with PR interval >0.2s ...'.

Presumably they determined it's not a significant indicator of anything sufficiently bad or imminent in the 0.2-0.3 range.
So maybe it shouldn't have been submitted to HN because "Hackers" aren't the intended audience. In which case, downvote and move on with your day.

Most of the kids I see on scooters and bikes aren't legal. I have no idea where the kids are getting them because they're not "pedelec". You push a button and accelerate up to 40kmh. They're essentially electric mopeds and they require a driving license here (and anywhere in the EU I believe) which makes them illegal for under 16s to ride them.

I've heard this about Lisp, but I don't really get how this doesn't apply to other languages.

My no. 1 suspect is OOP or, more specifically, languages like Java that won't let you write a function. You can bypass that limitation creating a class whose only reason is to hold stand-alone functions. I don't do that, lately I don't much Java at all, but I've seen huge Util.java classes.

In sane languages I used to start exploratory programs with two files: one for the main flow, the other for utility functions. Later the former would become different windows, the latter different libraries. Classes grew slowly, one functionality aspect at a time.

Forced OOP nudge you into a priori design the class structure before understanding the domain. Bottom-up advantage is that, having the primitives earlier, you can test with real data from the start and show the results to the domain experts.

I wouldn't say it's simply cost-benefit analysis. It's also scale of accidents.

A whole lot more people die from car accidents, yet there are few reports on national news on accidents. So fewer people care. Meanwhile each time there is an aviation disaster, 100s of people die and it's all over the news for weeks. Similarly with train accidents and nuclear accidents. There where only 2 very large ones but they still haunt the field to this day, while (for example) the deaths from solar installations by people falling from roofs are mostly ignored.

Large accidents have to be avoided, a lot of small ones are more acceptable.

I've seen plenty of people using vim that seemed fast (as in plenty of keys pressed, screens changed, etc), and thought they were fast but actually were pretty slow compared to some vs code users. I don't think the app makes a huge difference, rather the mentality to improve your workflow and be more efficient.
Important tidbit that's being left out of most references: the US's rationale:

> U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood called the resolution “imbalanced” and criticized the council after the vote for its failure to condemn Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel in which the militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, or to acknowledge Israel’s right to defend itself. He declared that halting military action would allow Hamas to continue to rule Gaza and “only plant the seeds for the next war.”

It boggles the mind how these declarations pin the issue as Israel capriciously killing civilians for fun, making absolutely no reference to Hamas, it's role in killing civilians on both sides of the border, the role of Hamas oppressing Palestinians to force them to exist as human shields, and more importantly how this resolution was not a cease fire but a demand that Israel stopped neutralizing Hamas without adding any requirement for Hamas to meet.

in other words the history of the graph is the physical history

and the logical history is the filesets which are the nodes in the graph which is the branching sequence of commits

the issue is that the 'logical history' is the reason git was built

> These days, Gooey itself speaks in JSON and is decoupled from argparse itself.

This sounds cool. I saw the headline and before clicking anything, my first thought was "bet this heavily depends on argparse", so this is surprising - in a very nice way.

I'm a hardcore getopt fan, mostly because I believe the developer's convenience is nowhere as important as the convenience of the user, and the user shouldn't need to care what programming language or option parsing library the developer chose. argparse, Click, Go's flag/X11-style, and many other similar libraries break conventions that are ingrained in half a century's collective muscle memory.

But with a layer in the middle, it sounds like you can eat your cake and have it too.

You can not. AI though, can be cheap enough to produce that. I wonder what happens if you take a b2b application and let it rewrite with AI to Nuclear Industry/ Aviation standards into a seperate repo. Then on fixes/rewrite the engineers take the "safety aware repository" as inspiration.
To stimulate discussion perhaps? Because it is a related topic (regardless of whether or not there is direct correlation). Hiring people based on skin color rather than skills is a problem, esp. with industries where lives are at stake.

Its not a potential presentational risk though, is it?

At the link below there's an interesting discussion of how an emphasis on competence-based education over knowledge-based education is not leading to an improvement in learning outcomes, quite the contrary.

This is why the product of philosophy cannot be valuable compared to a random opinion outside of the context of a system.

Nevertheless the activity of speculating about the possible paths a system (such as science) can take regarding a specific problem is of great importance, that's probably what Russel meant by this text.

Right, and this is also the current status of handmade mathematics. All we know is that we did not find a proof yet with everything that has been tried. This typically means that a problem is harder the more stuff has been thrown at it and failed.

A non deterministic Turing machine would absolutely crunch through math theorems, I really don't know why there is so much push back against what I am stating. Basically, if you had such a machine, there essentially would no longer be any room left for proving stuff the manual way, you would get completely outclassed by them.

The real consequence for me though is that this is a strong evidence (call it faith) against P=NP.
I really like On Lisp's message of building large things from small things. But when I read it these days it feels dated. The examples in the first part of the book are things that you'd expect in your standard library these days and the rest of the book solves problems you can import a library for. Macros can be simple solutions to problems that would otherwise be difficult. But the first section of the book mostly makes macros for things we'd use a higher order function for these days.
How do I automate hiring and interviews?

Well, there are only 2 ways.

1- You could outsource but its not automating

2- In the second method is you have to depend on a reliable (thing) that does the interviews for you and chooses the right candidate. It would also have to include several assessments, just like a real HR would do the interview.

The only suggestion here would be an interview automation by AI.

I have found a website they say its related to OpenAI its called Sint -> usesint.com

But they haven't publicized this new AI platform, I think they are still in the idea confirmation phase.
you don't need a paper from a group of UK developers to understand its performance & potential. The processor is made by a Chinese startup, as China is fighting an all out semiconductor war with the US, there is literally unlimited public & private investments that could be poured into such a 64 cores processor if it is indeed remotely on par with the SOFA of x86. Any Chinese company holding such crown jewel would spend billions of $ on PR to get everyone in China to know its name to further milk more investments.

As someone who live in China and has been in the area for decades, the only reason why I have not heard about it until today is pretty obvious - it is a toy implementation no one cares about. There is actually a dedicated term in Chinese describing such junk - “落后产能”, which means backward production capacity.

They knew the expected performance, they knew it is going to be laughed by peers in the area, but they still did it for a good reason - to just fool certain low IQ investors in China to get a free ride of the whole RISC-V thing. Whoever behind this laughable release should really be ashamed - what is the next move? glue together maybe 1024 of those 8051 "cores" and claim it has built a supercomputer on a chip?
It's not "sloppy use of words", both the term and the practice of AI have been around for far longer than today's probabilistic models. In particular, decision trees and similar are some of the simplest forms of AI.

The difference between an AI and a "regular" bunch of if/else statements is, in my opinion, the ease of adding new rules to the system. That's why something like Prolog counts as AI.

It is not a perpetual license. "One year of free updates included." means subscription. Especially considering product depends on third party API, which rapidly evolves, you cannot really stick with the old version, because some new model will not be embedded in the one year old version of the app you have. So, in reality you pay $40-80 a year for this product. Plus your ChatGPT API Key usage. In that case I would just suggest pay for the OpenAI.

If you are looking for an alternative of the app for the ChatGPT - I would suggest https://www.typingmind.com I have been using it since it was released. It is also available with Setapp subscription, which gives you some free usage of the OpenAI with Setapp embedded API key.

> is it worth it to pay $20 [...]?

I always object when someone tells me "it's (only) X $ / Y $" and I know for me the relevant part that I want to say out loud is per month, as in, it's a subscription, not a one-time or prepaid amount. I've rid myself of all subscriptions to the degree feasible because whether it's 'little' or 'much' it is recurring, per month so there will likely come a point in the future where I'll just pay without really using that thing anymore or where I forget or can't pay or where I have to pay although that sum could better be spent elsewhere. This is my experience with all subscriptions. I'm even getting my cooking gas as 'prepaid' (i.e. I buy bottles) and I wish I could do the same with electricity and so on.

So I'm totally fine with getting a gift card or whatever you call those thingies in the supermarket where you can throw a lump (20€, 50€) at some provider (Google Play, whatever) and then get to eat up that amount (over the course of at least one year, hopefully). By comparison, I wouldn't sign up even for 1€/month even tho I might get the same for 'less' money—it won't be less, and when you listen to Marie Myers (HP CFO, [1]), corporate knows darn well this is so.

Germans are one of the few people than can and will self-organize a working, highly productive socialism if left "unmanipulated" by profit-driven wannabe-progressive capitalists and cutsie-nazi effective altruists. All classes would be richer than now and the working class would drive engineering and scientific progress far beyond your widdle Marth pwoject.

Capitalists can't have that. Real competition will oust them and German Socialism without the Nazi-Part would show the world what can be achieved through German conscientiousness and curious equanimity applied to problem solving.

This is also why the Russians are constantly put under so much pressure.

Almost all Capitalists are lowest-tier intelligence. Trash selling trash while trashing the environment in order to narrow the playing field to an extent that allegedly allows no other survival strategy than profit-driven, ignorant, game-theory and pseudo-rationality based capitalism.

The article references the following IEEE Spectrum article:

https://spectrum.ieee.org/an-engineering-career-only-a-young...

> Given a choice, many employers would rather hire a couple of inexperienced computer programmer and spend a few months training them than hiring (or retaining) a more experienced but expensive programmer.

In the very next paragraph:

> In addition, many employers aren’t interested in providing training to engineers or programmers who may start becoming obsolete, for fear of seeing them leave or be poached for employment elsewhere. [...] employers looking for experienced workers have fallen into the habit of poaching employees from their competitors as opposed to spending the resources to train from within their organization to meet a specific job skill.

That directly contradicts the preceding paragraph, so I find it hard to trust the other claims that it makes.
