Except because you now actually went out, downloaded/took it, and experienced it, it implies there was a non 0 interest in the work, therefore there is lost possible revenue since you might have eventually went and bought the work.
Does that make crypto nerds arms dealers?
Yeah I’m starting to realize this too. You can even order relatively cheap medical tests yourself and learn how to interpret them, and go to a real doctor if things look amiss. (This is not medical advice, I’m not a doctor, etc)

When I become old enough to need more regular medical care, hopefully I won’t be priced out of concierge or and it hasn’t enshittified to where non-concierge is now.
> It's all try stuff and see what works, and then retroactively make up some crud on why it worked

People have done this in earlier days too. The theory around control systems was developed after PID controllers had been succesfully used in praxis.
I'm not sure you're responding to the same point by the GP. GP claims some truths cannot be proven. You took one claim that could be proven ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentzen%27s_consistency_proof ) and tried to proclaim its truth without referring to the proof.

Even the GP's claim is problematic. The Gödel's theorems don't prove that some truths cannot be proven. It only proves either ZF is inconsistent, or some truths in it cannot be proven.

Ironically GP's implicit assumption that ZF is indeed consistent mirrors your response in which you claim Peanno is consistent... :D

That said, if you somehow proved that "some truths cannot be proven within a fixed formal axiom system (that is sufficiently powerful)", and then you also take into account the Church-Turing thesis, i.e. that Turing machines can fully model our thoughts, then the proof of the claim about "some truths cannot be proven" is more or less complete.

Of course you can always posit the existence of some "unknown unknowns" that are outside of our wildest imaginations and thus invalidating whatever we thought we have known. But that's outside of our current ability to reason.

I could go on and talk about what I understand about divine inspiration and knowledge, but I suppose those topics are a bit too speculative for the crowd here...
I don't know neuroscience at all, so I don't know if that's a good analogy. I'll make a guess though - if you consider a standard RAG application. That's a system which uses at least a couple models. A person might reasonably say "the embeddings in the db are where the system stores memories. The LLM acts as the part of the brain that reasons over whatever is in working memory plus it's sort of implicit knowledge." I'd argue that's reasonable. But systems and models are different things.

People use many abstractions in AI/ML. Just look at all the functionality you get in PyTorch as an example. But they are abstractions of pieces of a model, or pieces of the training process etc. They aren't abstractions of the function the model is trying to learn.
Not to be confused with A-town
Is there a source for this? It seems kinda weird to post a story like that without evidence.
MessagEase decided to go subscription-based, here's some alternatives
MessagEase[1] is an Excellent alternative keyboard for mobile that I've been using for years... but it's not very maintained, and the maker recently decided to go subscription-based in a very messy way[2].

As an alternative I found thumb-key[3], which provides the same basic idea but the differences BREAK MY BRAIN and after some back-and-forth with the dev I realized that he doesn't intend to bridge the gap. So I decided to fork it and implement the features myself[4]. If someone knows Kotlin and is interested, any help will be appreciated =)

Another alternative I found is Unexpected Keyboard[5], someone made a MessagEase-like layout[6], but it's the same problem of your brain breaking because of missing or misplaced things, so this one is also a no-go for me.

Great start! I'd like this even more if you dropped the python-style f-strings for a JavaScript or HCL flavor instead.

You noted at the bottom that RCL type system may take the path of TypeScript. This is brilliant idea because structural type systems match perfectly with a configuration language.
Yes, sonic is meaningless as a benchmark in space. The speed of sound varies with air pressure (altitude) but it is always an important barrier in a gas atmosphere. However, in space it means nothing. A bullet fired into a gravitational well could just keep accelerating until it struck something or went into an orbit.
I don't know if 99m would be possible due to the focal point tied to the diameter of the lense (in this case roughly earth sized with the EHT)

I’m not sure why you are being downvoted.

Maybe something like 40% of all value in America is in “feeling seen and heard.” Everything helps outcomes, but feelings aren’t the highest on the list of things that help outcomes, and it’s one of the most expensive to provide, and it’s behind the proliferation of sub clinical admin and midlevel staff, but it’s also what people want.

This is why I work on Nix, and why I want Nix to run on Windows.

I can't make C++ stop sucking, but I can make it so any kind of developer environment on any platform is 1 click away.

After that, I can get back to PLT. I think the C++ + scripting language paradigm sucks, and we can do better. But the lowest hanging fruit is developer environment ease.
It is always easier to lie to the gullibles to get them to do what you want.
Notably Poetry lockfiles are farrrrrr better cross-env then Pipenv's, which if you lock on an ARM Mac, will not install on a x64 Linux box. Poetry just works.
The goal is to eliminate trash in the environment. Thin plastic bags get discarded carelessly, then catch in the wind and get strewn around a wide area.

I'm not sure what the author really wants to tell me. Is it a reflection of himself, or a review of a book, a advert of an author, I lost interest as he lost interest while reading J R. Perhaps everything worth telling had been told already for that moment.

Hate to say this, but yes to some extent. Trump imposed tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Chinese goods in 2018 and 2019. His aggressive stance on the trade war with China spooked quite a bit of foreign investments into China.

China "Offshoring/Outsourcing" became a liability. US companies moved production elsewhere (Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Mexico, etc) and even back to the States.

Markedly visible in my recent visit. Expats have left in droves in Beijing and Shanghai. Airports are pretty much empty.
I wish all the states could get together and share their ideas and data about what works and what doesn’t.
Personally i don’t see much difference between

class obj = new class()

and

class obj = [class new]

And i think the named parameters are easier to read

And ARC gives you pretty easy memory management - basically “don’t even have to think about it” except for more-obscure cases, even then weak properties can help out.

ObjC is really only a little more complex than C, but gives you so much more for that little increase. It’s orders of magnitude less complicated than c++, but is capable of handling enormous codebases just like C++

It is under-appreciated IMHO.
>Attaching an MCU to an inverter isn’t exactly new technology

No, its nothing special. Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and many others sell such chips for decades for several dollars each. What makes our chips (Microcontroller SoC) special is the $0,01 price and the high speed network between them so you can aggregate/balance/coordinate the inverter output voltage and the fully programmable inverter with all components in the chip except the inductor (a small coil).

The bidirectional buck/boost is to charge/discharge battery cells individually, for solar cells we just need a unidirectional boost inverter.

>8-core 64-bit MCU
Sorry for the confusion, I could not edit my mistake.
It is an single core 64 bit processor (ARM, X-86, Risc-V, bytecode and microcode) but reconfigurable to 8x8bit (for I/O processors like the RP2040 Raspberry pico), 4x16bit or 2x32bit or combinations like 4x8bit plus 1x32bit).
The reconfiguration of the 8 bit slices is done with our special kind of FPGA fabric that we call Morphle Logic [1]

>Do you have any technology that couldn’t be replicated?

Only special physics knowledge. Our software. But nothing that they could not reverse engineer in a few weeks.

>then any of the big players could have done it years ago

Yes they could and they have. Their designs are pretty bad though, especially the microcontroller parts. And they just charge way too much for them. The Chinese companies that make the panels have not yet cloned their chips.

>a negligible part of the overall cost. The price of the packaging, magnetics, testing

Wrong. Our package is the cheapest with just two or 6 solder balls on the bare die, no package no pins. Testing, magnetics are no factor.

>and integration into the panel will eclipse that
No, the chips are in the place where the solar cell wires attach to each other already, the silicon sliver of material makes the standard wireing slightly cheaper.

>claims of producing “30% more” energy also don’t hold up

This is rounded estimated number from several science papers about maximum MPPT yield improvements and separately from wiring cells in parallel. Its certainly not my claim, to calculate this number scientifically you have to do this for every individual cell and panel on every different geographic location.

Pipfile.lock is broken if you have wheels wrapping compiled code as it captures the arch in the lock file! Poetry doesn't do this, so you can lock on your M2 Mac and install on x86 fine.

Pip-compile in the most common use just creates a requirements.txt with everything pinned to a given version.

I think you can do hash stuff with it, but haven't used that part.
Is moonlighting as a CS coach legal in CA?
I work full-time as a senior engineer at a company in the bay area and wonder whether I could start a side-hustle as a computer science / system design coach on the side. I would charge a nominal fee for my time but I've never actually done a business outside of my regular employment.

Has anyone tried this? Do you usually need to let your employer know and could there be blowback?
Fear culture eats security for lunch. Good points.
> Undersea cables are probably more expensive than satellites today, but we'll still continue to put them in. And nope, someone can't just walk in and cut a cable sitting at 5000m under the surface.

The cable has to come out on to the surface somewhere, though.

But barring that, dropping IEDs from a fishing boat, with a time fuse and some weight, isn't hard; the trickier part would be knowing where to drop them so they land near the cable. But there are tricks for that too.
It should work on Linux if you have have a properly set up protected media path.
You're missing a 4th group: people who would enjoy watching content X, but simply won't bother if it's too annoying. The alternative isn't piracy, it's just doing something else with your time. There's not that many shows or movies that I care enough about to keep one subscription open for it. I had an HBO subscription for Game of Thrones, but I also enjoyed Succession, Last Week Tonight, and some other random stuff. After Game of Thrones shit the bed, I canceled HBO and simply don't watch those other shows. I never finished Succession; I'd like to one day, but it's not worth either the subscription or pirating.

This just shows that the availability of piracy is NOT the problem. It shouldn't matter to HBO whether I've pirated it or not: I could be a paying customer if their prices matched their catalog's value, but it doesn't, so they get nothing, piracy or no.

To be precise, you don’t hold rights to a zip file, copyright doesn’t know anything about files. You hold rights to a work, an abstract legal concept. Your rights to the work allow you to control the reproduction of that work, and distributing a zip file is an instance of reproducing the work.

Probability distributions don’t contain enough information to reproduce a work (since they don’t preserve order). They are not copyrightable in and of themselves, and distributing a probability distribution of a work doesn’t amount to reproduction.

Im not sure if your current job role includes programming or software engineering, but as a software dev whose struggled to get a job amid all the layoffs this past year, i wouldn't recommend pursuing a CS degree if you only want it for money and an immediate return on investment.

With AI and ML running rampant, the barrier to entry now is a lot higher and you will be competing with other engineers for jobs.

However, just like you mentioned you don't have a formal CS education but landed a job, you could likewise get a CS degree and land a gig unrelated to tech. A degree shouldn't force you to do anything, if you like it pursue it.

No

With your second question:

Tracking - Tracking isn't stealing, that's a privacy question.

Building a Profile - I mean not stealing but also vague so not sure what's the point of trying to argue this one? Like if you keep going with this line of thinking you end up with "you looked at me funny which made me feel weird so you're stealing by stealing my joy". (Absurd example but trying to show how abstract arguments don't end up working) Then we would probably loop back to fallacy of composition.

Malware - Serving malware is a criminal act and you can block it, but you're also not usually going to CNN.com and expecting them to download a crypto miner on your hardware. You are, however, expecting advertisements, hence why you're using an adblocker.

Bogging down your resources/other garbage - I mean idk, case by case basis.

You keep trying to paint with broad strokes but that's not how these things usually work. In my original example, it works because it's a simple transaction the artist wanted.

The biggest problem in Python dep management is Pip. When upgrading pip breaks tools wrapping/integrating with it, it's a bad time.

I've had to pin pip itself a few times due to resolution that used to work failing, and sometimes there's breaking API changes at the module level.

Oh and also because setup.pys in packages are somehow tied to pip apis.

It's a weak foundation to build from.

I disagree with your characterization of my comment as an instance of false equivalence, primarily because you had to change/add more premises to your argument as part of your explanation. So in fact you're committing some fallacies in your reply, also. :)

Regardless, obviously my comment was tongue-in-cheek, and I do in fact grant a license to Hacker News to display my content for all to see per the terms of use. But I hoped my comment would help you think about the absurdity of your original argument and how you can arrive at some ridiculous situations without getting much more complex than a Hacker News comment.

For example: I create a webpage that says "By reading this page, you agree to pay me $1" and then include a Paypal or Stripe link just below that text. You visit the page, and you have a link right in front of you to pay me. Now are you stealing from me if you don't pay? It costs me money to host the page, and I hold the copyright on the content and I'm not posting it anywhere else.
