Not at all, I know a lot of people for whom the state of the main implementations is a show stopper.
I agree. It's just quite a lot of verbose-looking XML. "I have to write that much XML" is probably not the first impression you want to give. I did scroll down and see that you don't actually have to write such XML by hand, but many will not.
> where each node has a single parent except for a specific root element which has none.

Slight nitpick: in mathematics, a tree need not have a root.

https://mathworld.wolfram.com/FreeTree.html: “a normal tree with no node singled out for special treatment”

https://mathworld.wolfram.com/RootedTree.html: “A rooted tree is a tree in which a special ("labeled") node is singled out. This node is called the "root" or (less commonly) "eve" of the tree. Rooted trees are equivalent to oriented trees (Knuth 1997, pp. 385-399). A tree which is not rooted is sometimes called a free tree, although the unqualified term "tree" generally refers to a free tree.”
Interesting, but isn't treatment being personalized contingent on medicines being personalized too? They'd have to be formulated specifically to individuals to avoid unfavourable interactions and be most effective.
Ah, American classism, where crap like McDonalds is OK, but pissing on Olive Garden and Applebees is a signal for "I'm not working class, I have taste".

Perhaps because the latter are associated with aspirational working class, which is to be mocked.

The upper middle class and higher going to coffee shops and restaurants targeting them and dialing the pretentiousness and crap fusion food and such to 11 is OK though, that's in high taste. And McDonalds is acceptable too, since it's seen as neutral.

Guess it depends heavily on training data. I uploaded an photo from nearby with a couple of very distinct towers, which I presume a good geoguesser would make short work of.

While it correctly guessed the country and general elements in the scene, it failed to pick up on those towers and the nuances of the terrain, which led it to suggest a very different place hundreds of km away.

Still, doesn't make me less wary of posting images from my neighborhood online... it'll only get better.
> From my experience, things I think Go could really benefit from [...] Enums

Obviously it already benefits from enums.

type E int
const (
A E = iota
B
C
)

Which, once you get past the superficiality of syntax, is identical to, say, what you find in C.

enum E {
A,
B,
C
}

Enums are just a numbering mechanism, after all. No different than hand numbering constants, but without the need to put in the manual effort. Enums kind of suck, though. Are you sure any language actually benefits from them (as compared to better alternatives)?

> especially if the need for exhaustiveness checking

It is true that gc doesn't make any effort to determine how the enums are used, but if it were to it would be a warning like as is seen in many C compilers. As enums are values, not a type, it's not a fault to use them "inappropriately". While it may be all fine and dandy to add such warnings to gc, the Go team has taken a hard line stance that warnings have no place in the compiler. Of course, the external analysis tools like you speak to can still be used to provide these warnings for you. All the information you need is there.

But it seems what you really want is a more expressive type system – specifically sum types. Then you would be able to describe how you expect identifiers to be used without resorting to using generated number values as placeholders. Enums are just a hack to work around a limited type system anyway. If you are going to improve the type system in order to gain improved compilation constraint, you don't need enums anymore.

Rust doesn't have enums and nobody has ever noticed. Hell, many are even somehow convinced it has enums – but it does not. It provides tag-only unions (with, optionally, fully tagged unions) instead. Seemingly that is what you really want in Go as well. And fair enough. It is undeniably the better solution, but at the cost of being more complex to implement.
The issue is that becoming a Boeing whisteblower is a 1-way gate: once you are one, you're a member of that group for the rest of your life.

Which means if you have a lot of whistleblowers, because you've got a lot of problems, then you have this ever-expanding pool of people who are "Boeing whistleblowers". Which means the probability a Boeing whistleblower dies in any given year goes up as the pool expands.

Which is fine and normal, unless the narrative question we're answering is: "is Boeing killing whistleblowers to deter future whistleblowers?"

And one conclusion is: "no, but they're being deterred anyway, because everyone is insisting they were intentionally killed". Basically the "chilling effect" is the conspiracy theory, not any actual action.

Though I would note a better way to see if they were doing it would be to look at the death rate of current Boeing employees, since if you were killing whistleblowers that's what it would presumably look like - people presently employed by Boeing dying under explainable circumstances without ever taking any action.
For future reference, say you are allergic. It's not like they would have asked for a doctor's note. Oh it was in Germany? They probably would...

Ah, the traps and pitfalls of self hosting.

> I selected HAProxy because I never used it before

That sounds like good arguments for using technology.

Also, while i get the "lure" of self hosting stuff like password managers, i quickly realized that if i lose those data, i will essentially be locked out of pretty much everything, so i have instead settled on letting those be hosted by someone else, and simply backup the data. If i was to self host it, it would probably not be on a Raspberry Pi, but something that supported the criticality of the system being hosted.

Speaking of backups, OP might want to look into something like Healthchecks.io, which incorporates well into cronjobs, and will alert you if a job fails, or doesn't run at all.

As a whole, and without knowing the amount of traffic going in/out of the beekeeper website, it sounds like the whole thing could've been hosted basically for free on Azure, using nothing but Azure Functions and CosmosDB. You get 1 million Azure Function invocations for free per month, and CosmosDB is pretty much free for those request amounts, though you do need to pay $0.25/GB storage per month. The RPi doesn't run on air alone though, and assuming a 5W power draw, it will consume 3.65 kWh/month, which will be around $0.5 ($0.15/kWh) or €1.2 (€0.35/kWh), so Azure might end up being cheaper, depending on how many GB of beekeeping data is there :) Of course there's also the cost of the hardware to figure in.

Oracle Cloud has a generous free tier, but their somewhat recent policy of shutting down everything that isn't operating at 90% load is rather annoying, and you will find yourself restarting VPS monthly. Other than that, they offer you a 4 core ARM machine with 200GB storage and 32GB RAM for free, which is probably as much as the Raspberry Pi offers.

„Advanced Conflict Avoidance, Vol.1“
Reddit upvotes karma system is incredibly, incredibly easily gamed and it’s happening on a mass scale. Most content is pure utter rubbish.

Most content is crust level depth at best. Absolutely nothing deeper makes it to the front page.

Why? Because modern humans have no attention span, and it’s like a herd of sheep.

In fact, the best “social” media for me would be a site like reddit/hacker news where it can’t be gamed at all.

I just want to see my interests and hobbies and articles on them.
Maybe some barrier that prevents the masses from getting in. An IQ test? A programming puzzle that you must solve in a short time frame?

> but there's something very broken with lisp: metaprogramming and programming aren't the same thing, meaning there will always be rigid syntax within lisp (its parentheses or …)

Quite the opposite, you'll find this is a strength of lisp code. That all its syntax is always represented as a tree makes it very easy to edit and manipulate in an editor which supports operations on that tree. What's more, you could add routines in your editor to display the code in any format you like and translate back to the lisp format when writing to the disk. This is much more difficult in most other programming languages.
The order seemed pretty rational to me. Describe the problem, then introduce your solution. I knew pretty much within a few sentences this was going to be some quixotic solution to a "problem" 99.999% of people don't care about (including me, as I've heard of Lisp but never used it outside of emacs config files), but I kept reading anyway, because why not.

You've cited this paper multiple times in this thread. I'll go through the exercise of telling you why I do not think this paper shows anything. Hopefully, you will then address one of the many points I've given as counterpoints.

First, your summary of the paper is nowhere to be found in the paper so I assume this is your summary. You say "the neural network was able to capture the underlying logical patterns and reason about new family tree instances not seen during training." This paper does not include training details. It delegates it to another paper in [10]. From the details in this paper, it is trained on 100 out of the 104 total relations. However, there are only 12 distinct relations: mother, husband, wife, son, daughter, uncle, aunt, brother, sister, nephew, niece. That means, each relation is seen ~8 times. Now, your claim is "underlying logical patterns and reason about new family tree instances not seen during training" but that's a gross misrepresentation of what is happening here. First, it's given multiple instances of the same tree with different labels. Second, the inputs appear to be the 24 people involved and so you cannot possibly extend this to new tree topologies. Finally, this to me is the money quote of the paper:

> Does it make use of the isomorphism between the two family trees to allow it to encode them more efficiently and to generalize relationships in one family tree by analogy to relationships in the other? If it does all these things, it seems reasonable to say that it is doing inference rather than mere association.

Now, we have to be careful here because inference might be construed as reasoning. Obviously, the model is performing some type of statistical inference where a model has been posited (3 layer neural network) and the output is being trained (presumably - no training details) to minimize classification error through something like KL which is equivalent to MLE and so it is indeed a statistical inference. This model is so simple, you could manually work out the inference by doing a page full of multiplications. I brought this up before, so I'll ask you to specifically address this point. No one claims linear models perform reasoning. Why are you proposing that this 3 layer (read, 3 matrix multiplies) is doing reasoning?
My pet theory is that success of predictions of modern science helped us achieve a local maximum which, while useful, also makes it difficult to evolve towards a higher (globally) maximum.

The axioms are:

1. Some models are useful, but all models are necessarily incorrect, incomplete, and/or unfalsifiable. (This can be restated in an unsettling, for a natural science enthusiast, manner as “there is always the unexplained”.)

2. We cannot know where the incorrectness/incompleteness lies.

However, the arrogance of modern natural science due to its success makes us disinclined and demotivated to look outside the box of its current models and tempts us into, e.g., treating the entities described by current models (wrong, per above) as ground truth, treating consciousness (you’d think, the only thing we have direct access to) as an illusion (red flag, explaining away), etc. Thus, we get entrenched in a local maximum.
I used to own a Fold 4 and it's a wonderful device, I really loved it (mostly the multitasking, stylus support, small outer screen for one-handed use). Unfortunately, the design is truly fragile and I sold mine after I got it back from the repair shop for the second time (and got a boring iPhone). I truly hope newer generations will be better and I can purchase one that will last at least 3-4 years.
We had a nice discussion here, you had your arguments, got the few mistakes pointed out, all factual, civilized and nice. Nobody called you sheep, antiamerican, or puppet of the global government. So let's not bring the anti-vax "polarization" into this, because the two camps are simply not the same. Edit: I have yet to see such a rational discussion with an anti-vax. Won't say it cannot happen, but to me it's like bigfoot.

Compare how much time has been spent studying the two different architectures. Who knows if SNNs can displace other stuff, but I wouldn't rely on SOTA for being the benchmark. Progress has to be made and it isn't made in leaps and bounds. If you find them cool, study them more. Maybe you'll stumble onto something. Maybe you'll find an edge in a niche domain (and maybe you find that that edge can generalize more than you initially thought).

Stop worrying about displacing conventional networks and start worrying about understanding things. We chip away at this together, as a community. There's a lot we need to learn and a lot that needs to be explored. Why tie anyone's hands behind their backs?
Gotta wonder why you'd even develop that. This thing seems to have essentially no value for for anyone but bad actors?

So, keep up the sanity. Live with your condition. Try to find a relief. Adapt to the new situation - what you already did. Write less text that trend to provoke others feeling pity for you. Or in my words: my problem is my condition and it's my condition that it won't become your problem.

Peace. Wish you the best.

My sister was an Auster buff, she read nearly all of his books when she was around 19, I unfortunately didn't read a single one.

From my limited understanding, it seems like lispers means AST in an ad-hoc way. There's no statically predefined solid structure describing what an if-node or a lambda-node is. We all agree to squint and look at (<idea> <parameters-potentially-recursive>) as an ast in spirit.

Scheme did implement actual syntax objects and other lisps may have a concrete ast (pun slightly intended) layer but it's not required to enjoy the benefits of sexp as code and data.
