> and use them once they are ready

There's always some tiny little thing which is missing for someone. If you demand 100% completion before you can switch, you will never switch.

> we need to fund their improvement, and use them once they are ready

That would mean funding for a long time, without getting any tangible results (since you refuse to use it until it's "ready") until the very end. The end result would be that the funding is abandoned after a while, and you never switch.
But you seem to be arguing for a less even playing field, no? Even means playing no favorites and only going by who might be best suited for the job. If there is someone better suited for the job and, in this case, she, who is she? Maybe another AI aspirant can hire her.
Lots of term rewriting found in compilers. Usually based on pattern matching on trees followed by some guard function to deal with DAGs / graphs. Lisp/scheme don't have pattern matching in the core - possibly because it's much cleaner with a static type system doing some of the dispatch - but you can implement one or use one of the libraries.

Declarative programming is roughly that control flow is handled by the language runtime instead of the programmer. That's either some dedicated language (makefile, yacc) or a DSL in some non-declarative language. It's not lisp, but the tablegen programs used by llvm's backend are an interesting example of a concise declarative syntax turning into a load of C++.

I'd say both are examples of things lisp doesn't really do for you. They're more reasonable to implement in a lisp than in most other languages.
Are you suggesting men aren't qualified to take care of children?
Thanks! See the first sentence of the readme. ;)

"goqite (pronounced Go-queue-ite) is…"
Perhaps. I'm just curious about the casualty projections. Casualties with weapons, and casualties without.

If sending more weapons results in lives saved, then this would be an excellent argument for arming Gaza with modern weapons. In terms of children saved the effect could be sizeable.

Copyright is a solution for generating value for creative labor. But we stopped at this and access problems are still unresolved (not always caused by the copyright holder). The market is still being defined by North America and West Europe in a lot of cases (content are gatekept and geo locked). I don’t know how we can solve this (without a lot of good faith involved) but piracy is the current solution to being (culture/information)-deprived.

This seems optimistic to me. With the state of play of current politics across the globe, I think its going to be a ~billion once you tabulate second order effects.

Already under current changing patterns of climate, there are areas of the world that if power simply went out for an extended period of time millions of people could die, and those areas are growing every year

ARM32 was nearly 15 years old by that point (the ARM700, the first 32 bit core dates to 1993).
Maybe not exciting but the ARM32 had the bulk of its life before the iPhone, ARM64 came shortly after. Old and boring for the original iPhone ISA was also intentional.

> Writing about the best essay implies there is such a thing, which pseudo-intellectuals will dismiss as reductive, though it follows necessarily from the possibility of one essay being better than another.

Preemptive dismissal of any criticism of the idea of a best essay is stupid. In particular, even though I buy the "possibility of one essay being better than another", the criteria for ordering will be necessarily subjective.

As someone who has read many essays in the European tradition (Montaigne, Sartre, etc.), I cannot bring myself to see the essays by E. B. White, for example, to be superior in any sense. Yet, I know that White's essays are held in high-regard in this part of the world. This points to the fact that there is no universal ordering function for essays, which mostly invalidates Graham's argument above.
I learned to drive in Swindon, and went round that roundabout more time that I care to think. Ironically, I failed my first test at a roundabout. Make of that what you will!
Swindon on HN; never thought I'd see it.

Back in the 2000s most driving test routes did cross this roundabout at least once, sometimes multiple times so most people growing up there don't understand the internets confusion by it all.

Look right, drive forwards, stop at the give way lines.

(If you couldn't figure this out you admitted you probably shouldn't be driving and booked your test in Cirencester instead)

Sometimes you have to treat the immediate symptoms first because curing the underlying condition will take too long.
It’s interesting to me how far you have pushed the SQL language in this framework, such that it truly is “SQL only”.

The challenge as I see it with enabling analysts to build websites is that you need to build abstractions to get from familiar (SQL, yaml) - the language of analytics, to new (HTML, CSS, JS) - the language of the web browser

As one of the maintainers of Evidence (https://evidence.dev), one of the things I’ve often considered is how accessible our syntax is to analysts. Our syntax combines SQL and Markdown, with MDX style components e.g. <Component/>

The </> are inherently webdev-ey, and I do think they put off potential users.

On the flip-side, by adhering to web standards, you get extensibility out of the box, and working out what to do is just a Google search away.

Anyway, thanks for the thought provoking piece.

Wow!

I don't agree with your political positions so clearly the problem is with me. I'm too old, too young, uneducated, or educated in the wrong place.

First of all, I'm surprised you can't see the simple truth that markets are an emergent property of any community. You yourself are part of various markets - every time you choose from an array of options, even if they're all free; every time you produce anything at all, you're in a market. That this isn't obvious to you makes me question why I bother talking to you.

Second of all, your attitude is absolutely smug and insufferable. You're convincing a negative number of people to see things your way. It's so wild to me that an entire half of the political spectrum in the West adopts this attitude, and when they lose there's an immense wailing and gnashing of teeth about how the other side is brainwashed. Meanwhile, the answer to their problems is in the mirror.

Being an economic powerhouse, China didn't want to mess too much with Hong Kong's winning formula in the past. But with China's explosive growth the past two decades, Hong Kong is less and less important in the grand scheme of things. No reason to give "just another Chinese city" any special treatment.

> Hong Kong's share of China's GDP has been shrinking over the past 25 years. In 2021, Hong Kong's GDP was equivalent to 2.1% of mainland China's, down from 18.4% in 1997 when it reverted to Chinese rule. [1]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Roundabout_(Swindon)

The Magic Roundabout in Swindon, England, is a ring junction constructed in 1972 consisting of five mini-roundabouts arranged in a circle. Located near the County Ground, home of Swindon Town F.C., its name comes from the popular children's television series The Magic Roundabout. In 2009, it was voted the fourth-scariest junction in Britain.

Hey everyone. This is my first project since I've began learning to code 3 months ago.

I always hated situations where I had a meeting schedule - e.g. at 3PM - and then someone scheduled another for 10AM. It interrupts my time for doing deep/focused work.

So I made this app that basically suggests time that ensure the most deep work time possible.

Feedback appreciated (that's I'm submitting here anyway!)

Thanks!
One of the weirdest things Einstein discovered is that time is relative, but cause and effect are absolute.

For example, muons should decay before they hit the ground, but they don't due to time dilation. We see the time dilation when observing the muons, but the muons don't, so you would think that for us, the muons make it to the ground but for the muon it would decay too fast. However, the muons experience length contraction, so they do make it to the ground from their viewpoint as well.

So cause and effect is preserved, even though we would disagree with the muon on the relativistic reason why it is preserved.
But by that argument neither is floating around in the ISS - you're still being accelerated by gravity, you're just in the fortunate position that you have enough velocity not to hit the earth.

If the colloquial term "zero gravity" applies to someone in the ISS, then it also applies to someone in a suddenly dropping aircraft.
Well there are risks of course, and it will most likely make things slightly worse for a while with less solar power and smaller crop yields with less sunlight, but there's really no other way to fix this mess.

The simple fact is that removing all of our impact in terms of just stopping release of C02 and methane (as impossible that would be to achieve with our entire society built on energy dense fuels and entrenched interest in keeping it that way) would not be enough at this point. We are cumulatively increasing atmospheric energy retention while also reducing reflectivity and both of those are more or less permanent for a while. Safe or not we'll need to add more reflectivity to give the ecosystem time to recover. Carbon capture won't help in the short term either, the oceans have absorbed too much already and will start releasing it if atmospheric ppm falls below the absorbed density.

To continue your medical analogy, you've got a smoker with lung cancer and having him quit smoking and moving to the country isn't going to be enough to save him, the damage is done. He needs some goddamn chemotherapy or he'll end up like Steve Jobs.
Not all health affects are reversible. Some reversals can be quite evident for acute symptoms, like arsenic. IQ reduction from lead appears to be permenant. Using your example of lung cancer... no, the cancer would not go into remission if established. However, there are studies showing lung cancer risk go down for smokers after they stop smoking, and generally the risk continues to decrease the more time has passed since they last smoked.
Journalism should take nutjobs more seriously. Conspiracy theories are now near mainstream and politicized. But NYT and other centers of quality journalism decided to treat them as entertaining filling for lazy news week. They were not untruthful. They just opted to do lots of reporting, very little investigation.

Our use of oil has also continued. We like to collectively talk about reduction but its incremental at best, and not enough to keep up with increased consumption elsewhere or actually meaningfully reduce anything.

> Given this reality, how do you expect to achieve your goals in a reasonable time-frame?

In the context of this thread, there's a bit of a false dichotomy here. You're asking why I should expect that people can choose to make a meaningful reduction in consumption as an alternative to filling the atmosphere with theoretical solutions that have never been tested before and who's impacts are unknown.

Are you proposing that because people don't care enough to reduce consumption we should just let the authorities in charge spray a bunch of chemicals into the atmosphere and hope it works?

OS vendors aren't interested in "ubiquitous" because they want to capture people in their walled garden.

Regardless of the quality of any tool, most people will not necessarily use the most friendly way. They will use the tool they already know and have. Reason most people have been using Microsoft Word over the year with very crappy results to share screenshot to people for example. There were plenty of available screenshot tools that would save wherever you want in the format you want, but you had to install them, they were not installed on their windows XP computer out of the box. So you would see people preferring copy/pasting to Word, not even paint or that other image tool I don't remember the name that was available ou of the box on windows.

So nowadays, there is only one thing that is ubiquitous and available in most people devices that allows them to reach other: messaging tools. In the past it was email, nowadays it is Whatsapp. You can make the nicest, fast and friendly tool to share files to others, people will still use Whatsapp to send files to others and even themselves.
Where I live there is a stop sign before merging into a major road despite originally good visibility, so few people actually stopped, which apparently led to accidents. Then they installed some barriers to make visibility worse (so drivers will not see the traffic on the main road until shortly before the stop sign, more or less forcing them to stop and take stock of the traffic situation, unless of course they are very irresponsible). Not sure if this has improved safety, but the barriers have been there for some years now, so I guess they were at least a bit successful...
Your premise is that if universities are training more grad students they are valuing independent exploration and encouraging learning for the sake of learning. I don't think it is true. If I am training 100 people to think alike, it is not valuing independent research and exploration. It is herding. Current grad students are "trained" to align with interests of few research labs/few personalities with lot less eccentricity and originality.

I think the type of industry/market is a huge decider on what makes piracy moral. TV/Movies? hugely exploitative industry where you have nearly zero effect on the people who do a majority of the work. They've already been paid, the media most likely made the investment back(i know, exceptions), the rest is media landlording, owning the rights to a majority of the work's profit. Same thing with music. Musicians see almost nothing from their sales/streams. Most of the money made is to repay the labels costs, then once again, landlording by the label. Many musicians, especially indie musicians, will be pro-piracy if that means their fans can appreciate the work, since the label won't send them much anyway.

In the digital age, a majority of copyright is just digital landlord behavior. There's other things, like artist commissions, one-man dev shops(the software Transcribe! has a fair price, is fairly unique, stupid easy to crack, but why bother), and patreon feeds, which all actively fund the person doing the creative work and allows them to continue the work, without the feudal contingencies of traditional distribution.

That being said, taking someone's work and selling it for profit is basically the only scenario I think copyright law should apply to. No individual should ever be sent to prison or bankrupted for copying a file. The power imbalance is staggering for an overall anti-artist industry.
"You'd need a large study to determine if stopping smoking reduces future risk of tumors; it's not something you can determine in a single person."

Wait, is it just me, or is it not wild that there's a company openly advertising their fingerprinting services? Their landing page implies it's primarily for fraud detection / abuse prevention.
