Wait... There's a shortage of labor so the solution is to restrict the supply of labor? Simply from a math perspective (not political) wouldn't going to a 6 day workweek do more to solve the problem?
> A tantalizing clue stemmed from men who have two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome, a rare condition called Klinefelter syndrome. These men run a much higher risk of suffering from autoimmune diseases, suggesting that the number of X chromosomes plays an important role.

Interesting. And apparently this is pretty common. Less than 1 in 1000 male births.

They buried the lead. This is all really about Chevron doctrine which gives a large amount of deference to administrative agencies. The current court has indicated they might be willing to overturn Chevron which would mean rule making would be more constrained by the governing legislation. There is a lot of regulation that would come under scrutiny under a different standard. The real question everyone is missing is how much quasi legislative authority should be granted to the administrate state.

You are arguing that google is a tool. The other person is arguing that google is more like an opinionated contractor.

"You don't want a tool, you want to remodel your bathroom" is what the other person is arguing. That's kind of true.

We're arguing that we don't want someone tell us how to remodel our bathroom, we just want a tool we can use to remodel our bathroom ourselves.

Google said that providing a tool doesn't make enough money, so they transitioned into being a contractor.

The crux of the issue is the "-" operator. As a tool, it removed any search result with the word after the "-" operator on the page in a very specific way. If you weren't getting the results you wanted, it's because you didn't think of how to use the tool in the right way. As a contractor, they try to interpret what you want to subtract and then give you what they think you want.

The person you are responding to might be too young to remember that google was actually a very good tool at one point.
What I think they meant is customers would keep paying them. And they are right, one just has to look at Okta, Solarwinds and other providers that have been owned, not done half of this and somehow are still in business. Everyone whistles to the side and pretends they shouldn't switch vendors, rotate all creds, cycle hardware, because it saves lots of work and this stuff falls under "reasonable oopsie" to the general public, when in fact there should be rules about what to do in the event of a breach that should be much stricter. So they do some partial actions to "show work" in case of lawsuits and keep going. The old engineers leave, new ones come in, and now you have systems who are potentially owned for years to come.

It takes some honesty and good values by someone in the decision-making to go ahead with such a comprehensive plan. This is sad because it should be tablestakes, as you say correctly, but having seen many other cases, I think although they did "the expected", it's definitely above and beyond what peers have done.

This worked for the 15th when they had racist voting (took until year 2000 to fix). Ginsberg, showing her true pro racism colors, dissented in Rice v cayetano. The 14th for HHA would be a worthy case no doubt.

Okta doesn't make device management software, thats made by companies like Jamf. Okta can integrate with them but Okta isn't what manages your laptop at all.

They are fairly common, but there is something to it. I've recognized a lot of these turns of phrases unconsciously, noting that it sounds like AI, but not being able to put my finger on why.

Hi, my name is Gabriela and I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in CS at Cornell Tech with 2 years of professional experience as a DevOps Engineer at Vmware.

> The DMCA (and GDPR) do not have international reach.
> The DMCA only appears to apply internationally because it binds a whole series of American companies with an international presence.

And by the fact that DMCA Takedown Notice and processes are valid in many countries. You can send a valid takedown to a french company and they'll take the content down. Not because of DMCA law in the US or because of American companies, but because the notice is accepted and has legal value within the scope of the local law.

> Their weights obviously aren't protected by trademark. So, what IP regime protects the weights?

> No US court is going to invent new rights under US law because a company happens to be incorporated in a foreign jurisdiction.

Your original question doesn't specify "in the US". A French company wouldn't be able to copy these without issues.

Does that mean you need to be protected everywhere to be qualified as protected? Or simply in the US? If so, then you can use your own argument to say that a Chinese court (or Marshall Islands I guess?) won't create a law for a company incorporated in the US. Which in turn means that IP is not protecting anything since it doesn't apply to every single country on the world with no exceptions.

And yet, IP does protect things. You can't both not scope your question and except a reponse scoped only to the US.
They are avoiding potential iatrogenic consequences.
De Casteljau and Bézier were both French mathematicians paid by different French car companies to work on systems for doing computer-aided design for cars, because of advantages vs. building physical scale models.

Bernstein was a Jewish Ukrainian mathematician who studied in Germany and later worked in Moscow, and his main research was about partial differential equations, probability, and function approximation, three "applied" topics. (Of course all of these topics also have theoretical aspects; such is the nature of mathematics.)
The rate of change of their relative positions is what matters. At 5400km distance this is likely slowish so that tracking is not a big issue as long as position is well known, which it is.

Ask HN: What's the best desk reference book for Python and other languages?
As a software engineer and voracious reader (ahem, or at least buyer) of books, I'm trying to follow Gergely Orosz's advice in [The Software Engineer's Guidebook](https://www.engguidebook.com/) to get a good reference book for the main languages I work in.

For Java (90% of my daily work), I just ordered [Java: The Complete Reference, 13th Edition](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/java-the-complete/9781265062705/). For JavaScript (5%), I've got [JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 7th Edition](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/javascript-the-definitive/9781491952016/), and it's proven helpful in the past.

I'd like to purchase a similar reference work for Python (5% and growing), but I'm having a hard time choosing between Fluent Python, Python in a Nutshell, Introduction to Python, or something else! Any recommendations?

(Also interested in good reference book recommendations for other languages!)

Currently technical lead for control systems of a flagship product at a quantum focused company. I work regularly with PhD physicists, electrical engineers, and lead a small team of software engineers to design, develop, and test both realtime and non-realtime control systems in a mix of constrained and unconstrained execution environments. I prefer to stay closer to the hardware, but above a kernel, and ideally on a network. Mostly work with Rust and Python these days, with Scheme on the side, but I can learn any toolchain quickly. I can even hack stuff together in the browser, but it won't be pretty. I have deep experience with scientific and distributed computing and networking.
I would not find it fun to watch a biological demolition derby.

Up to a point Ars does what it takes to generate clicks. I can't tell if they post more nakedly political content now then they used to but whenever I see that sort of thing on the site it depresses me.

Like a picture of scantily glad woman on a link (Will you see more if you click it? Who knows but there's one way to find out for sure ... ) the end result if it delivers or not is a vague feeling of being manipulated. That the editors think less of me then I'd like.

But who knows, certainly the political stuff on it usually doesn't appeal to my politics so maybe it's just unhappiness that they don't share my views.
Look, I wrote a huge reply, but I ended up deciding we agree more than we disagree, so I scrapped it.

It runs a bit deeper than than money though. If a company doesn't have software as part of their culture, no amount of money is going to turn that around until they make a conscious decision to do so.

I would prefer cults about nerd topics (which only someone with a desktop or even laptop computer would read about, forget mobile device users) over nationalism based on phenomenological skin color.

And e/acc is more of a little club than it is a cult. But I guess you could also consider it to be a criminal gang very much not unlike the Crips and the Bloods. Why? Because they're part of a counter-culture and naturally they want to diverge from the mainstream thought process. And the criminal activity e/acc engages in is non-compliant computer engineering. Which the Cathedral (pardon my language) dislikes.

It took time to arrange the bits in such a way that you desired to copy them.

Copying bits is not stealing. It's worse than stealing, it's counterfeiting.

When you steal a car, the car manufacturer can still sell cars at that value. When you counterfeit software (or anything digital), the original work is devalued over time, because as the counterfeit becomes more widespread, the value approaches $0.

Markov chains are defined in terms of states, which are not necessarily the same as tokens.

As an example, de Bruijn graphs have been widely used in bioinformatics. There are many definitions, but the key idea is that nodes are strings of length k, and there may be an edge from u to v if the length k-1 suffix of u is the same as the length k-1 prefix of v. It's trivial to turn a de Bruijn graph into a Markov chain with a context of k symbols.

If you have the Burrows-Wheeler transform of the training data, you can use it to simulate a Markov chain over a de Bruijn graph with any context length. You can also change the context length on the fly. I toyed a little bit with that idea when I was a grad student ~15 years ago, but nothing really came out of it. Building the model was already cheap back then, while getting data was the real bottleneck.

LLMs are basically lossy approximations of Markov chains. If you have a small accurate approximation of a larger model, the approximate model probably has the ability to generalize. And it turns out that good generalization over textual data looks like intelligent behavior.
>which severely limits their use for servers

Ahh i found the Oracle user. Redhat has not "more stable packets" but "more known bug's and eventual workarounds and less packets".

Like Redhat is just good for a certain kind of servers, like that OracleDB for your Delphi-App ;)

BTW: I think 5 years for the base-system is LTS (FreeBSD) and NetBSD even longer, and no BSD's are not rolling-systems hence the release 10. The packets however are rolling or quarterly (for NetBSD and FreeBSD), and ~point for OpenBSD.
Fair question, but I use a lot of things that are varying degrees of helpful for my work:

* Trello account for keeping track of my todo list (following up with people, running deploys)

* Obsidian for keeping notes, as a personal knowledge-base (things like technologies and reminders)

* Apple account for music, copy/paste, sharing photos from my travel with coworkers, synching docs related to my work visa and taxes

* Personal slack login for communicating with my partner in our private server

* personal GitHub account credentials for synching my private dotfiles repo with my neovim config. basically can’t work without my dotfiles, but I could theoretically email these to myself or something, to prevent this one.

And sure, I could be stubborn and not use any of this, but I’d be way less productive and kinda miserable.
