You have two random uniform variables and the distance/difference/change between to finite points.

Put another way (and code it up if you want). Select two random uniformly distributed points between 0 and 1. Do this 10_000 times, whats the average distance between the two?

This gets to the question of "most probable" vs "expected value". A conversation I always welcomed.

It's fair to go for that name imho. Not strictly correct, but 100% fair.
In US terms.

Progressive is Left. Their pet terrorist loot the school, the Target, or the Walmart.

Despite what the article says, we have no moderates.

Conservative is right. Their pet terrorists take guns and shoot up the school, the Target, or the Walmart. (And occasionally, a church here or there).

That's US politics in a nutshell.

It can be a lot slower to make major decisions only once every 6 months. Open source isn't exactly known to move very quickly. I think it can work fine for projects which are well established with a roadmap, but for experimental efforts that need fast iteration, it can really hold things back.

This is a fairly standard and boring way of dressing up censorship as something high-minded.

It's nice that you're familiar with a story from England in 1170, but no, you don't just get automatically blamed in the US when crazy people do things in response to dumb things you said on Twitter.

Regardless, even if you did get blamed, missionlocal is not the impartial jury who gets to decide whether or not quoting 2pac is incitement to violence.
According to your logic the H1-B program doesn't need to exist at all then. You can find all special skills within US Citizens. However what happens is that companies deny interviewees the chance so they can obtain H1-B workers for cheaper or for political power.

We need to abolish the program completely.

30 years ago those lyrics were threatening, written by, and targeting violent people. They weren't innocent, it wasn't some fantasy, these were people making music about their lives.
I think we might be, and I think it would make a lot of sense.
A funny thought is whether whoever is running us as a simulation
is themselves simulated and follow the recursion "upwards".

My nonscientific best argument is that it explains how we came to be
and how we end.

How can there be -nothing- and then there is matter, and then there are stars.
Our understanding of time is linear. ¹

If we are a "sim-city ULTRA" game, then the users starts it, plays it and closes it. That all makes sense.

Thinking about being a simulation I find it amusing to think it of as fractal.
Whenever we discover -the- final element/particel the game creates another
layer.

¹ I am aware of scientific theories explaining why there was nothing and then something.
I personally do not find them satisfying.
Do have the multiple doctorates to make a scientifically informed decision?
Probably not.
I know someone, possibly Hawkins, was irritated when people asked him
"what was before" it wasn an absurd question that made no sense.
I do not think it is an unreasonable question.
All we do in daily life is dependent up on a linear timeline.
But yes experiments on particles may show us a different world.
I think you misunderstood the meaning of "out of touch" in this context.
Observability N.0?
If your very public words can be mailed to someone and mistaken as a fairly death threat to them do you A) Rethink your life or B) Retreat to how this is not technically a death threat and you did not technically send it to them?
Context matters, the source of the lyrics were not cited, and the lyrics themselves are threatening (in their own context). The article mention that song escalated tensions and tupac was murdered a few months later.

I believe this crosses the line of poor taste by quite a lot. Poor taste will leave someone disgruntled, but to have stalkers send letters wishing your death and that of your family, and sent to your home address! That feels to me to be so far beyond poor taste, that calling that strikes me as downplaying. If you had such a letter sent to your home, I don't think you would truly feel that it was all in poor taste.
You're misreading the title. It's not saying that `Vision Pro "turns developers away"`. It's saying that Apple is antagonizing developers in general, and that has an outsized impact on Vision Pro vs. their other platforms.
Not dumb at all. It's bad UI.
> Which is dumb. You could still repeal the Jones Act and require the ships to be US flagged or crewed. Or restrict it to countries that have signed security/trade deals with the US.

> Even still, were war declared, a Chinese grain barge in Missouri isn't going to pose much of a threat. Most likely it would be commandeered by the US anyway!

No, your idea is dumb. If war is declared, are the Chinese going to let the US use its shipyards?

The 90s called, and it wants its always-smooth-sailing free trade fantasies back.
I can't recall the details, but there is precedent for someone building large vessels in a shipyard on a river and then discovering that they can't deliver the it because they fucked up their research on bridge clearances.

I think the implication was that nobody bothered to check, which is humorous and so we are willing to jump straight to it. But I suspect the truth is subtler if still as dumb. A tall vessel is likely to have a large draft, so a dry spell may mean bridge clearance but getting stuck on a sandbar (or worse, bedrock). There may be very few days a year where the water level is high enough to avoid sandbars but low enough not to clip the bridge.
Not to mention that the bulk of their employees appear to be based in areas where salaries are comparatively significantly lower than in the US.

This has to be either massively over run cloud expenses or, more likely given the scale of losses, “spent” on expenses that are essentially friends and family.
I recently lost another friend to Fentanyl. The policy of SF sups actually kills people, like my friend. The policy of Leftist supervisors who defend huge open air drug markets can be directly linked to thousands of deaths in San Francisco and tens of thousands in the Bay Area.

This is an example of caring more about what people say than what people actually do.

> These companies failed because of long term financial visionaries. These are the worst because they are thinking about how the company can capture markets at all costs, diversify into all adjacent markets, etc.

Long term financial visionaries? No they’re simply plundering the business to reward shareholders and executives through buybacks and dividends. They rationalize this as “maximizing shareholder value” but it is destroying long term value, growth and innovation.
Given Apple have complete control with their OS of how the dynamic foveated rendering system works, if they particularly wanted a screenshot feature to be included - reasonably likely for marketing purposes, it seems to me - then surely it wouldn't be too hard to code it such that it renders a second version of the GPU's output to generate the screenshot, when asked to by user, which has even pixel density. (Or perhaps screenshots getting some sort of "bokeh" for the first time, highlighting whatever the user was looking at when taking the screenshot, will turn out to be a desirable feature.)

Not having buttons obviously doesn't prevent there being a screenshot function, just as lack of screenshot button on iPhone hasn't prevented it from taking screenshots, and just as the VP's lack of buttons doesn't prevent users from interacting with it at all...

Mission Local is one of the best sources of local San Francisco news, especially anything directly relevant to the Mission District.

If rich jerks don't want to be called out by local journalists, they shouldn't post unhinged public death threats, even as a "joke" or "song reference".
This thread is why I like HN. Thanks for sharing the insights both.
You're making good points.

My reflective thoughts are first if you make a solid piece of software Apple should be hiring you to integrate your product into their main software stack.

Secondly, particularly to your last point, I think this encourages short development cycles and continually pushing something new.

Since if you build a good innovative product you run the risk of Apple undercutting it like you said. Unfortunately this means that there's less incentive to maintain and update a software product in exchange for developing and selling something new.
Lmao someone was listening to too much 2pac and drinking. Literally right out of “Hit Em Up”. Don’t think he was being serious, but still not a good look for a CEO.

100%. The Jones Act is more than a regulatory hurdle for offshore wind projects; it's a crucial pillar for our national security and maritime strength. By requiring U.S.-built and registered ships, it guarantees high safety and quality, which is really important for complex operations like wind farms. It's about investing in our infrastructure, creating jobs, and keeping the U.S. competitive in the global maritime industry. It's a strategic move for our economy and national defense.

> The standard can only be referring to the abstract machine. In truth, your OS might give you 1,000,000 elements on 1 page, and 1,000,000 elements on a different page, which exist nowhere near each other in RAM (or have been swapped to disk, etc. etc.), or are being CoW'd into existence, and so on.

This is where the "model" portion of the statement comes into play and why OPs point is even more cogent. The memory will be virtually contiguous, even if it's physically disparate.
Indeed. Well, not to take away from the moderation team.

> GRAHAM: No, no, no, politics. The problems with San Francisco are entirely due to a small number of terrible politicians. It’s all because Ed Lee died. The mayor, Ed Lee, was a reasonable person. Up till the point where Ed Lee died, San Francisco seemed like a utopia. It was like when Gates left Microsoft, and things rapidly reverted to the mean. Although in San Francisco’s case, way below the mean, and so it’s not that it didn’t take that much to ruin San Francisco. It’s really, if you just replaced about five supervisors, San Francisco would be instantly a fabulously better city.

> COWEN: Isn’t it the voters you need to replace? Those people got elected, reelected.

> GRAHAM: Well, the reason San Francisco fundamentally is so broken is that the supervisors have so much power, and supervisor elections, you can win by a couple hundred votes. All you need to do is have this hard core of crazy left-wing supporters who will absolutely support you, no matter what, and turn out to vote.

> Everybody else is like, “Oh, local election doesn’t matter. I’m not going to bother.” [laughs] It’s a uniquely weird situation that wasn’t really visible. It was always there, but it wasn’t visible until Ed Lee died. Now, we’ve reverted to what that situation produces, which is a disaster.

It's not just cartels, but also self-citations. For example, the original preprint of this paper [1] has 5 self-citations, with the version accepted to EMNLP increasing that to 10. This kind of behavior is sadly pretty common now and when you mention it to conference organizers they just shrug.

I've never heard of Garry Tan before just now, but he didn't strike me as "overtly charismatic" in the linked article. He struck me as incredibly unhinged and unlikeable.

Shareholder interests go beyond pump and dumping a stock.
Stochastic terrorism is such a dangerous and nebulous concept. It itself can be considered stochastic terrorism. People become afraid of stochastic terrorism and start to terrorize people whom they don't like. Or can't we say that Garry Tan wrote his tweet only because of what the politicians had done? Aren't they also stochastic terrorists if he is?
Garry Tan needs to go. This is not CEO behavior.
And Donald Trump didn't storm the capitol, someone else did.

> Nobody is claiming he didn’t tweet some rap lyrics

That would be the implication of calling this a "false flag." A false flag is a military operation blamed on another nation; if this was a false flag, then someone else would have tweeted it from Tan's account, so that they could transmit this sentiment without accepting blame for it.

Maybe you meant "opportunistic smear campaign" or something.

I’m, admittedly, highly biased as I work for Wētā FX, a high-end visual effects vendor. We have been developing for over a decade a spectral renderer, i.e. Manuka [1], whose design principles and philosophy are aimed at recreating how a motion picture camera, its lenses, filters, and even colour science, image the real world so that we can integrate virtual cg elements into plates as if they were part of the original photography. This hopefully gives some context to your quote. Whether we are successful at this is a different topic but this is a core business offering we are hired for.

In American politics, Libertarianism is used to refer to a flavor of right wing thinking focused on laissez-faire capitalism. I understand that the term has a different meaning in other contexts.

I'll add that I more or less agree with the Cato Institute on this particular issue. I just think it's absolutely fair to highlight that this is an article coming from a source with an agenda.
We must be looking at the same openings. I am constantly surprised at the expectation that applicants have >1 or 2 years of production experience with Elixir & Phoenix (seemingly excluding Erlang from that experience as well).

Yes. Curiously, it seems the Mediterranean diet helps you live longer, unless you are poor. The hypothesis is that poor people just eat a shitty version of the Mediterranean diet (think cheap fruit and veg, with less fresh) because they can't afford the decent one and so don't get the benefits.

Interesting that big layoff like these are not getting enough coverage in the media, and even here on HN it does not generate enough responses. It sounds like everyone is happy and well.

An interesting approach I've seen recently is using a Spaced Repetition System like Anki as a system for skill practice. For example someone learning to tie knots would open Anki alongside them having string in their hands, and the system will prompt the user to tie specific knots. Whether you can remember and perform the skill is then tracked in the same way as if you were memorizing facts. In theory this sort of system could be extended to "cloze" deletions etc.

Do keep in mind that ideally Learning should come before Memorizing.

Our leadership is okay with this. They want us to have the face to face in-person time. And I will admit, it does help build relationships with those who do not excel at building relationships through a chat client.
I'm a YC alum and it's an important bullet point on my resume.

I would rather YC leadership kept their political positions to themselves as much as is reasonably possible. It dilutes the value of that bullet point -- I want it to communicate things about my work ethic and competency. I don't want it to imply _anything_ about my political opinions.

I don't have a problem with tech leaders holding political positions, nor do I have a problem with them making personal donations based on those opinions. Quietly.
