Then defect is no longer intelligible. And yet, we can determine if a heart is defective, because we know the function of a heart, we know how that function composes into the telos of the organism (which is what transmits the function to organ, so to speak). Thus, any modification of the heart, certainly one that we see has ill effects for the organism, is a defect.

It is clear that a human being who is sterile, or one who cannot move about, is in some sense a defective specimen, as these deficiencies impede the realization of human telos. (If you deny telos, then truly nothing is intelligible. Not only does the notion of defect no longer make sense, not only are biology and biological function impossible and anatomy made unintelligible, but even efficient causality is made unintelligible and science impossible, as the very fact that an effect follows from a cause, that is is not arbitrary, presupposes telos.)

I do believe laziness is a big part of it. Because laziness IS about economics - in this case, personal economics. Why expend effort when you can get away with less and get rewarded the same?
Yeah, YouTube is absolutely dominated by paid product placement, especially for stuff like power tools. That said, YouTube reviews at least tend to be real in the sense that at least the reviewer is actually using and demonstrating the product, which is a huge step up from the "we summarized some Amazon reviews for you" SEO spam.
Playstation Portal is still better at PS5 Remote Play. Compared to the Deck it's got a 1080p vs 720p display. It's got a controller with all the Dualsense features like resistive analog triggers and fancy rumble.

If the only usage a person is looking for is PS5 Remote Play, then it is superior.
Forgive me if i'm misunderstanding, CPU's have micro-op caches that will bypass decoding instructions altogether if its in that cache. This means that variable length instructions will be decoded to a micro-op in the cpu and will get reused for as long as you have cache hits. Which does mean you"ll have ghost performance penalties if your code/gcc doesn't respect the size and limitations of hidden caches. Otherwise you can pretend that any instruction length gets shortened to its micro-op.
Recently learned about Gleam and am very interested in it as someone who always wanted to like Elixir but dislikes the Ruby syntax and lack of static typing. Love this approach to demonstrating the language in context.

As a mostly frontend dev I feel it’s worth mentioning that while it’s a nice way to try Gleam, the Gleam aspect of this is inessential, TypeScript is quite good, and using create-tauri-app with the react-ts, vue-ts, or svelte-ts preset is also a great way to try making cross-platform GUIs with Tauri. It uses Vite under the hood, and the generated app is extremely minimal — nothing like the awful create-react-app behemoths that probably left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

Since we’re being pedantic, canonically you aren’t supposed to separate an em dash with spaces. I assume that’s because typographically it already sets the parenthetical somewhat farther apart than a regular space would.

What's more concerning is the development of new types of weapons. Similar to WW1 I think many security consultants and leaders will slip into a mindset that these advanced weapons will mean winning wars fast and cheap. Which will not turn out well. Couple that with the power of modern algorithmic propaganda across the world and slipping humanitarian standards and the end result isn't looking good. Thinking strategic use of nuclear weapons might be ok and showing no fear of a nuclear war isn't positive either.

As far as technology goes, drones are just the lowest hanging fruit. We're seeing a nuclear space race happening, nuclear capable hypersonic reentry and cruise systems, atomic kamikaze submarines, and maybe the most insidious part is the less visible ones: AI based targeting, decision making and propaganda. The machine will push the button without a hitch and when people realize these half-joking idiotic online conversations have now become not only policy but set their lives ablaze it'll be too late.

Lots of folks seem to think that avoiding nuclear war last time was some kind of convergent self-driven process we let happen. It wasn't, it was conscious, difficult decisions by many people that let to this. Your decisions have an impact. It's a burden, sure, but take responsibility for it.
Now do it with race race from bone scans. I'm skeptical on the confounding issue as well.
>How often do you restart your computer?

Every single time.

Whenever I think there's a possibility that the need to reboot has not been overcome since the DOS days and W9x.

I find many more unexpected needs to restart in Windows NT6.

Unless your PC is miserably encumbered, it only takes a few seconds to reboot or cold start, so why hesitate.

Reboot early and often.

>I'm old enough to remember the times when computers were restarted regularly

During those same times I remember other operators who never wanted to turn off their computers for any reason, almost acting like they were mainframes and afraid they might not boot back up.

Looking at the answers, here's my anecdata: I usually only turn one on when I'm really working on it, and completely power down when finished.

Never hibernate or sleep, why bother?

OTOH the ones I had at work hooked up to scientific instruments never get turned off for years, except for power failures in excess of battery backup time. Once I got IT out of the lab it was possible to craft Windows XP for far more reliability than they had dreamed about, or achieved since on their office machines with NT6.
It is JavaScript.

The zero-cost abstractions is a bit of a tangent, but connected:

Using Electron, running an extremely-optimised search algorithm and displaying results takes 200ms

Using Rust, running a hopelessly naieve algorithm takes 1s; but a slightly-optimised-and-still-very-clean algorithm (which is built out of zero-cost abstractions) takes 4ms

People have come up with vastly different answers to this question. That to me heavily implies "i don't know" is the only right answer at this time.

"Researchers have come up with wide-ranging estimates for how many species there are. As May points out, this ranges anywhere from 3 to well over 100 million – many orders of magnitude of difference. Some more recent studies estimate that this figure is as much as one trillion."

I might be a minority, but i truly enjoy PHPs syntax a lot. No other language i use gives me the same joy.

Modern PHP is great, the past & some fundamental decisions are automatic tech debt that i can live with. It'd be great if PHP 8.3 gets forked with no backward compatibility, removing all the old PHP as a template engine designed functions that nobody needs & release under a new name. I just can't find the same type of joy in writing code as i do when writing PHP. But some things are truly annoying. Just not enough for me to switch or start the fork myself.

I think the person you’re responding to is talking about confounding factors _outside_ the brain scan, like when a model that could identify skin cancer used the presence of a ruler as its most weighted input: https://venturebeat.com/business/when-ai-flags-the-ruler-not...

This is a huge problem in medical use for AI - you have non-technical medical professionals influencing the data used to train the model, and introducing biases in the data that the model is learning from.

ML Ops engineers have been real things for a while. It is a specific subset of SRE or DevOps or whatever. I’ve noticed there are particularly useful subsets of the ops skillset useful here.

Prompt Engineers will definitely not be “real jobs” any more than certified scrum masters are real jobs. But they may exist for a while until the industry gets wise. Someone with an interest in this should pay Gartner to get the job title on their magic quadrant somewhere and then all the legacy companies will be falling over themselves to hire this title.

You actually like snap? Wow I've never heard a Linux user say that :)

I never was a big fan of Ubuntu myself also because I hate Gnome (really the whole philosophy is completely counter to my own) and Kubuntu never really worked for me. For example it didn't allow ZFS on root when I tried it last (20.04 I think). The snap thing was an extra detractor for me but I was already off Ubuntu at that point.

In the end I ended up with FreeBSD and KDE which made me a lot happier.

By "component framework" I was honestly thinking of React, Svelte, Vue, Solid, Qwik, and Angular, though I don't actually have experiences withh all of those.

I also don't have experience with native webcomponents or HTMX but I believe it would apply to those as well.

I do have experience with HTML templating such as Jinja and ERB and it would absolutely apply to those as well (though I don't think those would count as component frameworks, and certainly wasn't what I had in mind)

Basically some system which allows you to write some "unit" of markup such as

<li class="search-item-result">
<div>
<img src={item.icon} />
<a href={item.url}>{elided(item.url)}</a>
</div>
<div>
{item.previewText}
</div>
</li>

Which represents some logical unit which should be displayed in a consistent manner (with allowed exceptions, you can style the first and last of the result list differently using CSS selectors or tailwind classes)

With Tailwind, you just drop in the class names you want to spruce those up, and your component framework or templating library will give you a way to render a series of them with different properties. You have to repeat neither the markup nor the class names for multiple items

This is possible with CSS of course: Just add rules that apply to `li.search-item-result`, `li.search-item-result>div:first-child`, `li.search-item-result>div:last-child` but this creates a number of problems for maintainability. Say you want to wrap the first div in another element, or change the tag type, or add a spacer element before it. Now you have to repoint your CSS rules.

Additionally you have to think about the cascade, and how your CSS rules might apply to elements you didn't intend them too.

There are numerous systems for resolving these issues (BEM mentioned by the sibling commenter being one of them), but you end up writing a bunch of class names (and IDs for elements you only intend to render once on the page) which you have to name and reference. Then you have to probe devtools to determine which rules apply to which elements.

I can empathize with devs who have their own systems dialed in and don't think Tailwind brings them much value here, but if you don't have that system dialed in or just don't like thinking about names and specificity, it's a massive boon. Also, you end up writing a lot less code altogether since you don't have to write selectors or custom class names for everything you want to target precisely.
It's more dangerous if it's uncommon. It's knowledge that protects people and not a bunch of annoying "AI safety" "researchers" selling the lie that "AI is safe". Truth is those morons only have a job because they help companies save face and create a moat around this new technology where new competitors will be required to have "AI safety" teams & solutions. What have "AI safety" achieved so far besides making models dumber and annoying to use?
> you don't have any revenue.

That is what struck me also. You could try and extrapolate on some revenue and growth but there isn't that. It's not because of "part time" procrastination since there is a team working on it. What's happening? (We don't need to know but you need to know.)
You don’t even really need to squint that hard.

That’s what it started as.

It’s entire process model (instantiating the world for each request then tearing it all back down, not having any shared state) is fairly unlike most other general purpose languages.

PHP inverts the usual assumption that “this code file is primarily code” on its head—it assumes any file it’s given contains other data until it finds the special open/close tags signifying a section that contains code. (Allowing you to embed it within HTML easily.)

The runtime handles things like GET/POST variables natively and has a special way to expose them. Ditto for file uploads.

The standard library isn’t extensive but contains a ton of functionality that revolves around managing web requests. (Managing HTTP headers, setting and reading cookies, ...)

Etc, etc.
I have pretty much the same complaints about my iPhone.

ALL smartphones are a scam. They're designed to slurp as much cash as possible out of the customer. Once upon a time, you could plug any phone into any computer and transfer files back and forth easily. Try doing that today. "Oh, you want to access that photo? Pay here."

I seriously think about getting a non-Western phone brand like Huawei for my next phone.
If you disable telemetry that’s being sent to a company you trust and a product you care about then that’s on you, frankly.
Usually, “sex” refers to biology (“what’s in your pants”) whereas “gender” refers to the social construct (are people expect you to wear pants?).

“Asexual” then usually refers to someone’s preferences about getting what’s in their pants and what’s in someone else’s pants together; asexual typically means “they’re not interested in that”.(“heterosexual” meaning they want what’s in the other person’s pants to be different than what’s in theirs)

There’s a lot of namespace collisions in all this.

It has the highest performance per Watt.
I was thinking about this too, but I don’t know how widely they overlap? Like, if (say) 30% of male brains are at least 10% smaller than the average male brain, and 30% of female brains are at least 10% larger than the average female brain, then a model that just considered volume might not be very accurate at all, because anything in the middle still has a significant chance of being either sex?
This is already a thing but it's more for people with money right now.

There are a lot of 'reputation management services' whose job is to flood out bad press and replace it with anything else.

If there's anything suggested by comments on HN posts about hiring, it's that people don't know how to hire, and just make stuff up.

I'm reminded of the talk by the ex-Google hiring committee person, who reported that not only did their research show that the interviewers' ratings didn't predict the relative performance of people who were hired, but also that his entire committee rejected all of their own (anonymized) interview review packets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8RxkpUvxK0?t=8m20s

Your linked blog post "Abstraction and the Bayesian Occam's Razor" is very interesting. I'll play back my understanding to you, to see if I'm approximately following and summarising your thesis.

Context:

When programming we attempt to design an effective abstraction that models some domain. When designing this abstraction, there are trade-offs between reducing the amount of code required, enabling reuse, reducing coupling, flexibility to accommodate future use cases.

Key Problem:

How do we design an abstraction for our domain model?

Claim 1:

Apply the "Minimum Description Length" (MDL) model selection principle: prefer a domain model embedded in the shortest program able to recreate the dataset of domain knowledge.

Applying MDL model selection will result in an abstraction for the domain model that is both smaller -- giving less code to maintain -- and more likely to generalize to future unknown use cases.

Complication:

Applying the MDL model selection principle relies on having access to a dataset of domain knowledge. We can think of this dataset of domain knowledge as a list of (situation, expected behaviour) pairs -- c.f. a labelled supervised learning dataset, or a gigantic list of requirements. Unfortunately, in typical software projects, no such explicit dataset cataloguing the requirements or expected behaviour in each situation exists.

Claim 2:

We can use the automated test suite as a proxy for the dataset of domain knowledge. When designing our abstraction we should prefer a domain model where the combined size of the logic for the domain model and the size of the corresponding test suite* is minimal.

* with the important caveat that "just cutting out the tests, or removing other safeties like strict types doesn't give you a lower MDL, in that case, you're missing the descriptions of important parts of your data or knowledge".
> There an ongoing desire to know if the different between men and women in the sciences is due to innate differences, or due to society causing a difference.

Is it ongoing though? It seems to me that this is exceedingly rare and discouraged, given the political climate of most academic institutions in the western world.
Says the person who has uttered a sentence chock full of categories!

The "what" of something is part and parcel of intelligibility. If reality is intelligible, and we are truly rational creatures that are able to know this reality, then this would entail that reality is divided into kinds that we can recognize. What those kinds are, and which things belong to which kinds, is a separate question, indeed the question in this article as it relates to living things.

One-handed daily drivers are out there. We're nuts, but at least it's not Dvorak (kidding).

TBH, the the Twiddler layout is probably superior (though not by much). I went with eight traditional keys because it could be hand wired. The Twiddler approach is basically limited to soldering directly to a board, with all the issues therein. After about six months or so I would get debris caught under one switch or another and the Twiddler is basically welded shut. :/

Speaking of design issues (and talking about the BT). I highly recommend using a Nice! or other wireless/BT microcontroller. Not only is it more convenient but cable strain is a real issue on most microcontrollers. If the Handler has a design flaw, that's the biggie.
