I think this is the higher-tech version of the vacuum packed bag of

The issue not mentioned is one I've encountered in other similar
projects which is false negatives cause by "creep" in plastics and
general thermoplastic movement. We had a near-UV scanner that could
map the surface of a test object (sensitive circuit boards) down to a
few wavelengths, but it was too damn accurate. Go back and scan the
same object a week later and stuff (like solder joints) has moved
naturally. That doesn't work when things are in transit for weeks with
vibrations and temperature variations.
I was swimming with my Apple watch in Hawaii, after a couple of days of swimming the side button sank into the case and got stuck. Now the fun began, long press on that button is an automatic call to 911. I had several calls happened and had to explain to a 911 operator why I'm calling but eventually I was able to turn off (shut down) the watch completely.
more likely because the article mentions why, Methane.
Snakes on Plane genuinely changed people’s lives more than Wages of Fear because it showed people the potential of making dumb jokes big. Wages of Fear was basically the same moralizing people get every day. Movies have a self referential quality that makes them more intellectually engaging than mere novels.
When an LLM writes an essay about, say, Oppenheimer, the essay it spits out isn't, word for word, in the training data. it's created this new essay. Following that, asking it to write an essay about Doofenhimer, a fictional contemporary of Oppenheimer that I just invented, where was it trained on for that? to say it can't create anything when, given the depth of the training data, it seems capable of creating things, seems like an underestimation of its abilities, and moreover, what it actually means to be creative. when I'm being creative, there are connections being made between completely unrelated things that I've been exposed to at some point in my past which I combine in creative ways to create new things. if it's all just pattern recognition, interpolation, and recombination, then either nothing new can ever be created by humans doing exactly that, or LLMs are also creating new things. Are Salvador Dali's paintings not creative because the idea of clocks and the concept of melting aren't new?

I think Marxists call it "alienation of labour", quite a lot is written about this.

Loss of autonomy is definitely a factor, but also people can get disconnected from the output leading to a loss of meaning in the actual work.

At industrial scales vegetables are an intermediate step in a production / distribution chain where the desired output is actually dollars. If dumping or mulching them results in more dollars, so be it. If it tastes worse but transports better and you get more dollars, worse tasting it is. Etc etc.

You could say that the optimisation process itself results in a loss of autonomy since market structure, competition and regulation dictate what you have to do to a large extent. "Don't hate the player, hate the game...".

I think knowledge work can go the same way.
Remember that the Egyptian pyramids were already around 2000 years old by the time of the Romans, as old to them as the Romans are to us now, and not surpassed for another 1000 years or so.

In some places in the world, the answer is clearly yes. I don’t think filial piety has a gigantic escape clause for when the kid is a teenager.

Letting teens run wild for whatever reason (because they will be more interesting adults? because they have a right to?) is a western idea. That’s exactly how I grew up and have a lot of tales to tell, but I also underutilized my capacity for learning during that time.
This seems stupid. The better solution would be to adopt the EU's version today and require the improvements in 4-5 years.
I found that the stripping of the libc made impossible for me to manage signals that didn't exit the program. E.g. Sigint worked fine as long as the callback didnt return to the caller but e.g. trying to use Sigwinch or sigcontinue segfaulted and I never found a way to make that work from scratch in this type of binaries without linking to libc... I wonder if that's even possible.

Dune was the start of a series. It didn't need to wrap everything up in a tidy bow. And its ending was still much less abrupt than Snow Crash's, where the book ends on the same page as the villain's death.

The Romans absorbed a ridiculous amount of Greek culture and also founded London 2000 years ago. Virtually everyone of high education from the English speaking countries and their cultural parents were at least aware of the Greek epics, if not educated with them. The White House looks like a Greek temple for gods sake.

Greek culture is everywhere in the English speaking world, they are very much one of the primary influential ancestors of our culture in a way that it absolutely is not in the Chinese speaking world.

Given the repeated bail-outs of US carmakers, and the way Tesla have leveraged government carbon trading schemes over the years, plus the 20 year rule on importing cars, the chicken tax and so on, it would certainly be extremely rich for anyone based in the US to cast aspersions on government support for car manufacturers.

This is an ironic thing to say in a discussion of suckless.
It's about as realistic as propelling the vehicle with unicorn farts. In particular, the kinds of nuclear propulsion being discussed in this thread could not do it. Solid core nuclear thermal rockets using hydrogen have an Isp of about 1000, so they could accelerate a vehicle at 1 gee for less than an hour.

The power/weight ratio of nuclear rockets actually sucks, compared to chemical rockets. Conveying heat through a solid/fluid interface is awkward and slow compared to just making it in situ by combustion.
given the reviews its getting, it may not ever reach that goal.

having said that, the lessons they learnt and technology they developed while building that white whale are massively valuable.

At the time IE was horrific and basically didn’t exist. Microsoft reallocated the entire focus of the company R&D towards development of the next version of IE - a colossal investment of resources that outstripped all of Netscape’s revenues for all of its history just on developing a free browser to put it out of business. So, yes, sure. It was incredibly better. But it was anticompetitive to develop it in that way. With the same resources, could Netscape have done it? Would Microsoft have done it if there was any commercial considerations?

Netscape made a product that ran on over 20 operating systems and promised a future where the operating system was a detail for how to launch a web browser. Microsoft saw this as an existential threat and crushed Netscape under a mount of money that was spent to ensure the only meaningful browser was a feature of their operating system.

After their Pyrrhic victory, IE decayed with very little investment. As you would expect in something that was developed only to destroy.
At first, I didn't realize that all of the spaces must be filled by tiles. Perhaps that could be made more obvious.

It depends. If you want to just retell stories broadly, only preserving the overall narrative, then no, it's not necessary. But if you want to recite them word for word consistently - which many cultures did and do value - then yes, it requires a lot of rote learning, and learning of various associated memorization techniques.

Thus not all cultures evolved such a distinct profession, but many did. Some particularly impressive examples include the Mongolian Epic of Gesar and the Kyrgyz Epic of Manas. The latter is notable for having over 500,000 lines of verse, and there are living performers capable of reciting the whole thing end to end (which takes several days).

You have given a nice clean answer that does not make any errors (such as talking about the likelihood as a density in parameters, which of course it is not). Thanks for writing it down.

The only other thing worth adding to what you have written is that the likelihood is a product of N factors.

As such, it will essentially always diverge toward infinity (if the density factors are on average greater than 1) or collapse fast towards zero (if the factors are on average less than 1, as in your example and in OP).

So this very structure (arising from the IID observations) implies that no “stable” density will pop out. It’ll always blow up or down!

One way to stabilize things is to take (1/N) times the log of the likelihood. Then you will indeed converge to something familiar - the entropy, - E log p(x).

It's not all tests, it's just the API tests. I'm not sure why that was unclear to so many people. You can have hundreds of tests, thousands even, only the API tests are special.

If there's no stable behavior because the software is still at that stage of development, it's 0.x software still. That's true in SemVer as well as this refinement of it.

Contrariwise, if you think software is ready for 1.0 and you can't come up with any tests which display guaranteed behavior which won't change without that major version bump, then no, it's not ready.

Any physical system that makes/breaks contact, such as walking robots. Sure, the foot is not perfectly rigid and technically is a stiff spring. But from a computational perspective, problems still bear all the hallmarks of a discontinuous system such as requiring a very short integration step.
There's plenty that can perfectly parse RFC 4180 since it's a very simple format. That's not, however, what people want in terms of parsing "CSV" files. They want to parse a file that contains data in some type of delimited format into some type of arbitrary format they envision. The delimiter may not even be a comma.
FP is clearly useful for data transformations, and this is where you've seen it catch on in Python and even Java. Outside of that, for as theoretically elegant it is, the reality of using it for real-world, stateful systems is messier, and the fact that none of them have gotten any traction beyond hobby projects or one-off uses says something.
This doesn't apply because Alabama's law banning abortion explicitly excludes said circumstances but it's perfectly feasible (and does occur) for a fetus to be at a stage where it has some non-zero chance of surviving without the mother which opens the debate around whether to allow maximizing safety of the mother or maximizing safety of the fetus. Finding people who would argue the latter is not particularly difficult, more than 1 in 5 of those who support any kind of limitation in abortion (or 13% of the total population) support making abortion illegal in all circumstances: https://news.gallup.com/poll/321143/americans-stand-abortion...

While it's okay to highlight to others such a view is not the majority opinion of those wishing to limit abortion it's important not to sweep double digit percentages of viewpoints under the rug and proclaim what you feel a certain group ought to think like in its place.

I've always thought it was strange that HN never appeared in search results. I mean content here has a very high SNR and seems to me that it checks all of Google's SEO boxes. So I always assumed not showing up was intentional, as in dang has been delisting it on purpose and blocking bots. Now that it's showing up, I kind of want it to go back the way it was. The only reason I read HN so much is because I have given it a high degree of trust, that even though I don't know most commenters, I can easily reason about content, find the sources, discover amazing tools and read from founders directly. I really, really do not want to worry about whether the front page is now ads.

I'm curious why theses Chinese EV makers stocks seem to have been doing so badly over the last 2 years. BYD is down 27% over that time, NIO down 76%, Li is about even (though it was up 25% a couple months ago). This is despite having all sorts of press about how great they are doing (a coworker has mentioned BYD to me 2-3 times over the last month or two).

I guess they're doing really good if you compare them to Canoo/GoEV and Fiskar (down 92% and 95%)
There's a snag in making the correct choices of course.

What are correct choices now, turn into incorrect choices tomorrow.

Node/Npm is filled with incorrect choices right now that they're keeping around to keep backwards compatibility, and there's no way they're going to do a quick break à la Python 2 -> 3, instead we have a slow transition leaving us with:

- CommonJS instead of ESM

- No permission system

- Callback based APIs (Which have luckily been getting replaced with promise based APIs)

- No built-in node-version manager (e.g. nvm)

- etc...

But as the language evolves, we gain new capabilities that the runtime will take a really long time to adapt to. Looking ahead, these feature will likely change what we want in a runtime's APIs.

- Promise cancellation

- Better stream APIs

- Explicit Resource Management (the `using` keyword, like D's `scope(exit)` and Go's `defer`)

- Records and Tuples (to make certain data immutable)

- etc...
As it happens, that fact is how I learned the word Gaul in the first place.

No, that's not what he's saying. The original post you are responding to is correct - he produces a quadrant that maps "usefulness" to "safety". Safety was dealt with by removing side effects. Nowhere does he state that side effects are an afterthought or discouraged, what he says is that they need to work out how to seperate code that produces side effects from code that has no side effects.
Really annoyed me too. Should really be a radio button behavior instead of a toggle. This post is relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39342649
> Is every frame in a transition also a function of state?

The start and end state are functions of state. The animation itself is what the element itself does when it's in the process of changing (like kicking a rock down a hill). The scroll position of some text is like this as well, it's internal state that you typically don't need to reify as application state.

You could make these part of the state where necessary, but it often isn't.
It absolutely did. Barely any time to enjoy the sunshine in the old area before some other part of your daily walk is covered.

But even with them both using Wireguard, there are choices involved that affect performance, for instance whether to use the Wireguard kernel model or userspace implementation, how to configure routing, packet filtering, firewalls, etc.

Interest in the classics like these isn’t a solid lineage. It’s mostly an invention of Neoclassicism, and was enabled by rediscovery of the texts in Islamic libraries. But neoclassicism still strongly influences North American culture, specifically our civil buildings. It was the counter culture movement when the USA split from Britain. While a lineage is assumed I do agree they are relatively alien to today’s culture.

Any work of nonfiction will end up with some inaccuracies and a form based on one person's memories may be especially prone to this. But if he's outright deliberately fictionalizing events (not saying he is, necessarily), that's a big mark against the work. I mean that's exactly what got James Frey castigated on TV and made persona non grata.
This is definitely the Right Thing, but how well did other software, such as text editors, handle or render the field and record separator characters? That you can’t directly enter these characters on a keyboard would be a minor annoyance.
There are lots of examples in the use cases section of any low-code vendor, but in short, most internal tools are not in the horizontal categories you listed. They're in vertical, industry-specific categories at SES (Software-Enabled Services) companies.

A quick commerce startup, for instance, is unlikely to find an inventory tracking app off-the-shelf that fits their workflow, since existing ERPs are not going to fit their workflow.
