I’d describe myself as a slow thinker. I’m hesitant to bring up politics, but I’ve been contemplating this in the context of the upcoming election.

I have complete faith in Joe Biden’s ability to make sound decisions through a slow and deliberate process. That’s what the presidency requires.

I don’t hold much faith in his ability to compete on the campaign trail, because all people care about is fast thinking in conversation and debate, and he’s quickly losing that ability.

I see a pretty clear parallel to myself. I’m able to perform objectively well at work, but I’m not great in fast paced conversations, and unfortunately, interviews.

Indeed, as I said I'd be shocked if they killed it, but I wouldn't bet my livelihood on it, so I would suggest everyone else do the same. I'll use it as a toy, but I'm not going to allow myself to become dependent on it.
a close friend of mine used to tell me about these production Mathematica Notebooks he'd author at his company Coherence to do all these optical and thermal calculations with. It was a regular workhorse for him.

A very long time ago I used to play around with Derive5 in my youth. It was the most affordable Computer Algebra System (CAS) of the time and I learned to program in that funky one liner programming language where I had to strip all the white space from my editor and always be careful to balance parenthesis. I should dig up those old files and upload them to my github. I've been actually meaning to reimplement those operations in a more modern CAS system and see if I can more densely plot these curves I was studying with some iso-arc-length families of exponentials about the point (0,1).
Yes, I wrote a small app in kotlin to scratch an itch. Chat gpt 3.5 gave me code that in the past would have taken me weeks to figure out from the mountain of verbiage in Google docs for the ever changing APIs. Normally googling for this stuff just leads to loads of things that don't work and I have to figure out why. With chat gpt I just pasted whatever error and it gave me the right answer the second or third time. I now have my (private) app that does what I need. Without gpt it would have taken me several weeks (real time, it's a hobby).

I've seen new colleagues use co-pilot at work and it definitely increases the amount of stuff they can now figure out for themselves within a given time.

Why NOT pay for software you use?

Especially if it's a useful tool and developed by a small team(one guy?) instead of an evil multi-trillion tax-dodging conglomerate.

I also paid for the BOSCH drill I use, my 4K monitor, ergonomic chair and other such work tools, so why not pay for SW tools as well?
Why would they not? we all have to use computers. Secretaries used to be able to code, such a thing is not possible nowadays as programmers create more and more obscurity.

Corporate jargon is how companies hide away inefficiencies and illegalities. Now, jargon is usually not that, but most of the time it is. The same way programmers said a kilobyte is 1024 bytes (seriously?)

To add to your point, yes, do ask a random person what notepad.exe doe vs what vi or emacs does.
I entirely agree.

I’d add that as long as NATO was uncontroversial in American politics, allies could count on being able to work with each successive president, regardless of party, which definitely did help. There was the occasional bickering (like the French being vocal in their opposition to the war in Iraq), but nothing that would compromise the alliance in the long run. Things like “friendly” intelligence gathering, or indeed trade disputes, never stopped, but did not preclude cooperation at the highest levels.

In that context, it’s fine to argue every now and then because everyone knows that neither side is likely to escalate things out of control. As you said, it did not affect trust in the fundamentals.
The poster is talking about using symbolic math to obtain a closed-form expression for the Jacobian that is then numerically evaluated. This will often be faster and more accurate. For example, if your function is sin(x), then the symbolic math tells you your derivative is cos(x), so you put that expression in your code and compile it. When calling this on the angle x = 0.123, your code then just evaluates numerically cosf(0.123), rather than (sinf(0.124) - sinf(0.122)).
This is amazing, even the breathing can be seen. Next big step (or may be its done already) is to generate expressive audio and we are all set for a generated model you can have a video call with.
There are plenty of situations where the scenario goes like this: you first do symbolical calculations. then fill in some of the free variables, your resulting expression will simplify a lot. Then you compile that resulting expression to native code and evaluate the simplified specialized code for a zillion parameter vectors.

Anyway,if your day job needs something like this you're better off using a lisp than python.
At relativistic speeds it would take about 1 millisecond to go from LEO altitude to the ground.

> assembly on a specific machine, which seems very fair to me.

It seems a little biased toward imperative languages. The earliest models of computation, namely combinatory logic with S & K, and the lambda calculus, date back to 1920s, and being exceedingly simple, can easily be implemented in any modern functional language. But not so easily in an imperative one, which have no support for closures.

On the other hand, implementing an imperative language in a functional one is relatively straightforward.
I wish the courts would address this and make that interpretation explicit. Who has standing to challenge it and who has pockets deep enough to fight it?
The Google Fiber project was always meant to push the carriers into competition. Google knew that if they didn't launch Google Fiber, none of their other ventures or the internet as a whole, could be as successful. Google paid big money for YouTube and the plan was always to turn it into the service it is today. At the time, there were also worries whether the carriers would restrict services (aka net neutrality) or if they would charge by GB. Launching Google Fiber made it such that the carriers had to start competing and upgrade their infrastructure.

If it wasn't for Google Fiber, I'm certain that we'd be stuck with 20mbps speeds, the cable/DSL monopoly, and we wouldn't have the likes of the OTT services and the choices that we have today. Or at least it would have been delayed by quite a bit.

I worked for a company that was an equipment vendor for Google Fiber and other service providers.

Good. Two of the closest grocery stores to me are Fred Meyer and Safeway. They'd probably close the Safeway if this merger goes through. I'm happy enough with FM most of the time but I like having Safeway as an alternative, because they have options FM does not.

This is the second time Varda's been on my radar in the past year. First time was when their engineer Andrew McCalip livestreamed his replication attempt for LK-99 (using company equipment) just days after the initial announcement [1][2].

It's funny that I can't even accomplish an emoticon in these comments while some people manage to draw complete scenes or algebraic formulas interleaved with the text.

I must admit that, unlike a lot of HN'ers, I'm using a virtual keyboard on a heldheld device to type comments; I never took the effort of looking up how it is done though it must have to do with extended char sets.
I've used my Magic Mouse exactly 5 times. It forces me to both "arch" my hand because of the shape (too flat), and hover over the buttons to not accidentally trigger the gestures. For me, it's like the most uncomfortable mouse ever made, and I've ended up with cramps every single time I've used it.

It's amazing to me how they were able to make both the best trackpad and the worst mouse ever.

To each their own I guess but it's very weird to me that someone could consider the Magic Mouse comfortable, maybe something to do with the size of hands?
Imagine if the useless governments actually broke up these behemoth megacorporations that control the entire vertical and horizontal slice of industry they operate in. What a crazy concept, right?
While this is true, in this case clearly they know he isn't using it for a loophole since they are the ones who asked him. Sure it's technically illegal and I can buy that it isn't a sting operation but it also very obviously isn't serving any sort of public interest.

How 'The Karate Kid' Ruined The Modern World (2010)

https://www.cracked.com/article_18544_how-the-karate-kid-rui...

"I think The Karate Kid ruined the modern world. Not just that movie, but all of the movies like it (you certainly can't let the Rocky sequels escape blame). Basically any movie with a training montage.

You know what I'm talking about; the main character is very bad at something, then there is a sequence in the middle of the film set to upbeat music that shows him practicing. When it's done, he's an expert. ...

Every adult I know--or at least the ones who are depressed--continually suffers from something like sticker shock (that is, when you go shopping for something for the first time and are shocked to find it costs way, way more than you thought). Only it's with effort. It's Effort Shock.

We have a vague idea in our head of the "price" of certain accomplishments, how difficult it should be to get a degree, or succeed at a job, or stay in shape, or raise a kid, or build a house. And that vague idea is almost always catastrophically wrong.

Accomplishing worthwhile things isn't just a little harder
than people think; it's 10 or 20 times harder."

Effort Shock and Reward Shock (2014)

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2014/07/09/effort-shock-and-rewar...

"The good news is what I’ve started calling reward shock. In some (not all) domains, it is more than enough to offset effort shock.

When you overcome effort shock for a non-trivial learning project and get through it anyway, despite doubts about whether it is worth it, you can end up with very unexpected rewards that go far beyond what you initially thought you were earning. This is because so few people get through effort shock to somewhere worthwhile that when you do it, you end up in sparsely populated territory where further gains through continued application from the earned skill can be very high.

Programming, writing and math are among the skills where there you get both significant effort shock and significant reward shock."
Isn't that pretty much irrelevant? Won't network speed etc make much more of a difference?

The almighty pocket veto. If I never get the chance to get around to it, dif it ever really happen?

Make no mistake; this is one of these sneaky things you can do to ensure that even if something you don't pike is the case, it never really materializes substantively, and fast enough to matter.

It's one of my major issues with legislation that creates new remedies, but without taking into account the means through which that process will be executed. While an independent judiciary is crucial; there does need to be affordance for info propagation.

Looking at large countries, Japan has one of the lowest incidence of rape against females --compare it to North America, South America, Australia and Africa. There is no comparison. In Europe, Sweden and France are outliers with a very high incidence. In the Middle East, there are countries with low rates.
hmm, that's a good point; so if you run coolant through the vanes they can operate without damage while producing temperatures that would vaporize them?
It computes a list (as nested pairs in the standard lambda calculus representation) of Church numerals (the standard representation of natural numbers). See also the discussion of the 167-bit primes program output in the first link, which gives an impression of the overhead needed for output in decimals.
The `single_ref` field is a fixed-size array in both of the objects referenced in this line, so this line can't panic, and no bounds checks are involved (since the compiler sees the index < length at compile time and doesn't even need to emit one -- although I think it still does, and it's LLVM that gets rid of it actually)

Causing memory leaks is possible in safe Rust even without any arcane invocations, you can construct a cycle of Rc<T> counted objects. There's even a perfectly safe Box::leak in the standard library that gives you a &'static reference to any object by leaking it.
Preventing leaks is outside of the scope of Rust's safety system.
It would be helpful to update your comment.
I'm with her. As my acting mentor put it, "You're always going to be upstaged by your own boobs".

You're never looking at the character's body. You're looking at the actor's. You're not in the moment.

Sex scenes rarely advance the story. We all know what sex looks like. The story point "They are really into each other" has been made once the sex scene begins. There's nothing new to say after that.

If you want porn, go look at porn. There's lots of it. They're about the sex, and they do it well. Sex scenes in films are usually disappointing because they're still trying to establish some sort of artistic merit. Which isn't satisfying when what you want is to look at f*ing.

I wouldn't ban them entirely, of course. There are a few cases where they actually do advance the story. And maybe all of this is about to become moot, as deepfakes mean we "see" everybody naked anyway.

But for the moment sex scenes seem like they put a lot of pressure on actors, especially young female ones, to make their bodies available purely for the titillation of seeing a famous person naked. I'd rather not watch that.
While helpful, this is not the same. E.g. a global kill switch could be harder to overlook and easier to manage.
> A non-trivial percentage of women are physically larger and stronger than a non-trivial percentage of men, yet those smaller men are not scared to walk alone at night for fear of running across a large woman.

This is just not true. Larger yes, but the percentage of women who are stronger than even a weak man is vanishingly small.
I paid for both WinRAR and Sublime Text. Not sure if that makes me elite or silly.
"Your assets are safe," generally the last thing you hear from these grifters before your assets disappear completely.
Yes, true... but what is the rate of rape in Japan compared to the US/Sweden/South Africa?

Women walk alone at night in Japan. They feel safer than women in America.
It is. At least with a person you know you're being understood even if they are not allowed to act on that understanding to help you. Sometimes they'll still act as actual humans and forward you to someone that is allowed to help. As opposed to getting you to hang up (their job).

AI bots don't even understand, don't have empathy, and there's no hope at all. They're just there to get you to stop bothering them. A cheap way to fake having customer service without actually having to risk humans actually helping customers.

It's kind of like just drafted military personel shooting above the enemy and not trying to kill. They have human morality even if they're told to do harmful things. The bots are the equivalent of a brainwashed/well trained soldier who will shoot to kill (get you to hang up as quickly as possible).
> Floneum is a graph editor that makes it easy to develop your own AI workflows

I think this explains what Floneum is
Huh, good question. I think having a herbie-style error visualization graph built into an IDE would go a long way. In practice I think dynamic sampling is pretty good at capturing error behavior, and immediate visual feedback on the floating point code you're writing would make it a lot easier to trust the working code you have, and understand the problems with the error-prone computations. Something like https://github.com/herbie-fp/odyssey, but analyzing the fp expressions in the code files you're editing.
I'm not being obtuse, I think we just have different views on how the world works.

In my view, violence, or hopefully, just the threat of violence, maintains order.

There are certain classes of people where diplomacy and pacifism just isn't going to work.

Again, the post-1945 US nuclear program is about deterrence ("peace through superior firepower"). So, in that perspective, the Peacekeeper's threat of violence... kept the peace.

The US and the Soviet Union/Russia both do not want to use nuclear weapons.

Video would seem to be an improvement over still images.

If we're fleshing it out, I think a wider array of college students (BYU may have its own issues) and adding some "neutral" spaces to the test might yield more information. (Although if being "wary" is habitual, the behaviour would probably still show up in neutral spaces?)

The dirty secret is that Hawaii is almost thoroughly dependent on outsiders and tourists for their economy. The government actively flirts with outside investment groups, especially for former agricultural land that is now costing them money to maintain.
