It's absolutely being explored. There is a lot of active research into using ML to learn solutions of PDEs (Navier-Stokes in this case). It's not my field so I don't know much about the specifics.

The works that I've read train an NN on numerical solutions for different geometries and boundary conditions. Then they try to infer the solutions for configurations outside the training set, which should be much faster than recomputing the numerical solution.
Certainly it works on a different principle than that which is patented. At the same time, IANAL, and if the stakes are large enough the question might need an adjudicated answer.

That tutorial sets up a complete rendering system, and demonstrates that it works by drawing a triangle... the exact thing described in the black triangle story.

Drawing a triangle is not the end goal. That's nonsense.
It apparently does include the map of Palestine pre-Israel. This makes sense, in the very same way as the current Palestine protesters' slogan 'from the river to the sea', it's a reaction to the illegal settlement (which still has the same slogan based on their religion) and expresses the desire for liberation.

From the original 1977 manifesto of the current Likud party[1]:

> The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.

Ever heard of Nakba[2]? History of Palestine, how everyone was living peacefully under Ottoman rule and the current state of apartheid, that is, children's parks fenced and locked, keys given to Jewish mothers[3]? The civilian body count that has now exceeded 25 thousand, in a country with a median age of 19[4]?

But the OBJS allows for an easy `clean` target, defined further down the article.

Personally, I'd have gone with

foo: $(OBJS)
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $< $(LDLIBS)

to put all flag options first, then the output option, then using `$<` for the compiler inputs, and additional linker inputs last.

But that is somewhat idiosyncratic, and based on some half-remembered ideas of second-hand stories of how compilers used to process their command parameters back in the '90s (and before). Those ideas probably aren't relevant now (and may not have been entirely correct originally), so if the recipe in the original article works for the author, I'm not going to say they're "wrong" for doing it the way they did.

I have not done a "desktop" program in 25+ years and never using C++ (or C), since then I'm mostly a web developer (PHP, Elixir, JS, Kotlin etc).

I'm currently doing a C++ audio plugin with the Juce framework.

This website has been a good resource, alongside https://www.learncpp.com

But I was actually close to give up before using those two things:

- https://github.com/nlohmann/json : my plugin use a json api backend and the Juce json implementation is atrocious (apparently because of being born with a previous C++ version), but this library is GREAT.

- ChatGPT 4. I'm not sure I would have "succeeded" without it, at least not in a reasonable time frame. ChatGPT 3.5 is slow and does not give good results for my use case but 4 is impressive. And I use in a very dumb way, just posing question in the web UI. I probably could have it directly in MSVC?

Also I must say, for all its flaws, I have a renewed appreciation for doing UI on the web ;)

You learn a new language to write programs in that language. Few want to pay you to code in Haskell, Rust, or Racket. It will be that way for a long, long time. In 2030 your list will be different, but people will still pay to have C++ code written. Your personal project might then turn out to be in what is considered a legacy language, as Ruby is now. But C++ will continue modernizing, and getting more pleasant to code in.

I would then ask the question, do we see the same increase in cancer rates in similarly agricultural areas around the world (in India, China, Brazil, Germany, Russia)? The US is an especially "industrial" farmer though, so there may be differences.

I kinda like that it shows only one activity at a time. If one doesn't like it, they can always spin for a new one. Makes it better than the typical, google seo farmed lists. Also, let's you focus on one and make a decision.

In regards to the costs, again, what's low cost for one might be different for another. My archery club allows you to show up and try it for a session (or two) before enrolling. Astronomy nights don't cost us anything or much fuel, if at all. Been to plenty of board game nights where there were no entrance cost.

Using these and other similar features of GNU make it is possible to write a generic Makefile that works for any software project.

It appears that almost nobody reads the manual of GNU make, despite the fact that it is extremely instructive.

I have read the GNU make manual once, about 25 years ago. Then I have written a set of small Makefiles that I have used in all my software projects forever, until now, with only extremely small changes during the years, e.g. when new compiler options have appeared, or when I have added compilers for additional CPU targets or operating system targets or additional programming languages.

It is possible to make such generic Makefiles that will work in any software project.

For example, in the simplest case, when the source files are in a single directory and you use that directory also for building the project, copying a small template Makefile that includes the appropriate generic Makefile for the target CPU and operating system is enough so that "make" will identify all the kinds of source files that exist in the directory, generate the necessary dependence rules, invoke the appropriate compilers and build the executable.

For any more complex project, only a minimum of information needs to be added to the template Makefile. For instance, when the build is done in another directory than the one with sources, or when there are multiple directories with source files, a list of directories with source files must be added into the template Makefile. Lists of non-standard libraries, non-standard library directories and non-standard include directories may be added. Additional options can be specified, e.g. building a shared library, not an executable file.

Besides these, nothing specific to the project needs to be written. Adding or deleting source files or renaming source files do not need any changes in the Makefile, but after such changes a "make clean" is recommended.

Instead of this simple and obvious approach, more than 99% of the software projects that I have seen use absolutely horrible huge and unmaintainable Makefiles, or they use "make" replacements like "cmake", which are much worse than the traditional "make", so I fail to understand why anyone would want to use them.
> But also an underlying neural network type of structure that takes in input, and produces output and changes underneath to then have emerging capabilities (like the counting).

Sure, at an abstract level you could say that, but it requires such a level of abstraction that comparisons don't really mean much. The differences in how the systems function could cause significant differences in underlying functionality and emergent behavior.

For example, some differences when you get into the details:

1-Biological brains have astrocytes that manage the synapses and activity of neurons, constantly and dynamically bringing together different and changing populations of neurons to perform functions (inhibiting some and enhancing activation in others).

2-Neurons aren't the only computational units, astrocytes are also computational units involved in (at minimum based on recent studies) learning and object recognition.

3-Some cells like Purkinje cells learn patterns even when isolated. Something within the cell is learning/storing information about timed patterns of activity and can respond appropriately when the pattern is re-encountered.

4-Dendrites frequently perform preprocessing on signals prior to the signal being forwarded to the neurons soma.

5-Rabbit's olfactory learning and memory is interesting, read up on it if you get a chance. A neuroscientist expert in that field has a theory that matches the data that the network within the olfactory region goes through a minimum-energy type of reconfiguration each time a new scent is detected that is related to some positive or negative. This is interesting from the perspective of how do brains get dynamically reconfigured with learning.
> Exactly, if a court actually finds damages then the monetary tally just racks up as you keep making money from a product, but no federal agency currently has authority to stop you from selling the product at all.

No, a court absolutely can issue a permanent injunction on further sales as well as damages for past behavior, and defying such a court order (as well as being the basis for further civil litigation by the offended private party) absolutely can be the basis of civil and or criminal contempt actions by the originating court and compulsory enforcement actions related to that by law enforcement (US Marshals, in the case of a federal court order.)
No it isn't scarce. There isn't a limited supply. There is no point at which the software company would say "sorry, we're out of stock". Unless maybe you are selling physical media with the software on it. With SaaS, possibly you are constrained by the capacity of your infrastructure, but that isn't usually a practical concern unless you have incredibly unexpected growth.

I don't think the existence of rare costly outcomes is very good evidence that anything is wrong with the system.

Among high-level players, the vast majority of poker hands ends with an "agreement" about who probably has the strongest hand (i.e, all but one player folds and there's a modest transfer of funds to that player). But in order for that system to work, there has to be a credible threat of a showdown which, from an economic perspective considering just that single hand, is inefficient.

Likewise, the patent system might be good or bad overall, but occasional occurance of costly outcomes doesn't tell us much.
For what it's worth, in countries that do employ live-in maids, it's fairly common to give them 16 hours of work every day under the theory that idle hands do the Devil's work. And since the average house does not have 16 hours worth of daily cleaning, they just invent bullshit, like washing the car every single day and mopping the floor not just daily, but twice in a row.

Advent of Technical Writing: Effective Examples
I wanted to say that the charitable interpretation is that these things are basically prerequisites for the market to be "free" enough for any invisible hand efficiencies to arise - low barrier to entry, consumers are cost-conscious and have free choice, no anti-competitive bundling between provider, pharmacy, and insurance services.

But then I hit F5 and see that they explicitly feel these things will just come about given a "free market". Oh well.
Yes that is correct. In theory, in the freest market, there would only be one company that does everything and generates infinite profits.

I’m responding to the “free market” that most “free market” advocates refer to: a market where companies are free to do whatever they want as long as it makes them money and also have regulations only when it benefits them.

When I worked for some years in a ramen shop I gained a visible callous on my thumb from peeling ajitama. I remember we would often have races to see who could peel a batch of something like 300 eggs first. I don't remember exactly, but it seems quite reasonable to me that an average time for those races would be under 10 minutes. Great to make Chef happy and have a little fun too!

The callous went away, but have a few more permanent burn scars still from those long long days and nights making tonkotsu with simply 100qt pots and large ranges.
> 48v seems overkill and dangerous.

In fact the exact opposite is true, it is safer in practice. In a true fault condition into flesh the currents involved aren’t substantially less safe (4x microamps is still microamps). With protection circuitry and current limiting, the permitted currents are that much lower, which is easier to deal with.
Agree with other comments about needing a license - your library looks like it would integrate into audio plugins quite nicely (it's self contained). If it's licensed to allow it, I do try to upstream changes I make!

I've built a reputation for leading skunkworks projects in my org.

The trick I've discovered is that maximizing self-interest eg: maximizing your recognization of efforts (and for everyone else working on the project) is the best way to deliver long-term actual customer value.

So you put out some hype in the org first, build your black triangles internally, and then when you connect customer value, then connect the hype with results.
I saw a link to New Scientist that said something new had been proven about Conway's Game of Life. But I couldn't read it because it was behind the paywall. So I tried to google Google's AI for what are some mathematical results about GofL. But slim pickings. I finally found the link above I assume it is the proof the New Scientist paywalled link is about.
Their product is the hardware but clearly without software the product has little value.

So they invest resources in building the software.

Another hardware company comes along. Their product I'd also hardware. The software they get with no investment at all.

The second company has a strategic advantage. Far fewer software development staff. No carried software investment to cover. Hence lower costs. Hence cheaper product.

In theory company 2 sells nothing because the buying public understand the models, and are prepared to pay a lot more for the same or lessor product.

In practice the buying public doesn't know about Open Source, and the tiny fraction that do, don't care enough to matter. Hence the success of iPhone and the lack of traction for the latest "OSS Phone".

My issue isn't so much with the word, but it's that so often I see tons of users who are clearly bringing preconceived notions about how the moderator role works at Reddit and thinking it works the same here. At the very least there definitely aren't moderators, plural, on HN currently by that definition.

The other reason I think "admin" is a much better word is that it much more clearly indicates that this is a special, privileged role. That vast majority of "moderation" on HN is done by normal users with upvotes, downvotes and flagging (and also, of course, by automated systems e.g. with spam filters/bot detection).

But again, my primary point is that I see users blaming "the mods" for why their post is downvoted or hidden, when usually it's that people just don't want to acknowledge that the community, at large, didn't think they were contributing productively to the discourse of the site.
I had a minor conniption when I slowly realized that all stores would be closed between 4PM on the 24th through 6AM on the 26th. OH MY GOD what if I ran out of milk, or something I stupidly forgot. Then I got a hold of myself and looked in the fridge and pantry - whatever it was, it could wait, there are plenty of substitutes. I feel that we Americans are over-acclimated and conditioned to want and get the specific thing and quickly, we're eroding our ability to adapt, be inventive, think different. It's very convenient here, then I spend time in Europe and I was always surprised to rediscover that most shops close after 6, you can show up in the middle of the day to a shop and there will be a sign saying they're closed for 2 weeks, or back in 2 hours. It was perplexing to try and find a Paris restaurant opened Sunday evening, because why wouldn't you be opened for diners on the weekend? That's when people go out, is it not? Not sure if I would make the trade, there's something to be said for the convenience of being able to shop outside a very strict window of retail hours.
Other people's vote counts are invisible because they led to constant bickering about the merits of any given comment's "spot" vote count (this is also the reason there's a guideline that asks you not to write these kinds of comments, but changing the affordances so you can't see them at all was a much more effective solution to the problem).

(My confidence in this explanation comes in part from the fact that I'm pretty sure I had a hand in this coming to pass: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2403716).

The conspiracist rationale here doesn't make much sense, because the site operators also control the displayed comment count and the registration of votes.
