I'm not arguing over the semantics. I am rejecting the entire concept in its overly broad state. Imagine somebody said 'Oh don't worry about your weird coworker. He's just acts that way because he's a Sagittarius.' Obviously you'd look at them pretty cockeyed. I'm not arguing about what a Sagittarius is, but rejecting the idea of it having a well enough defined meaning to ultimately mean anything. Of course millennia of people of all classes, including the founder of analytic psychology (who was quite enamored with astrology) would have strongly disagreed with me.

According to the CDC we're now up to about 3% of kids being "identified" as autistic. [1] In 2010 it was about half as many (per capita). And then in 2004 it was about half as many again. At this rate one can reasonably speak of a majority in the future. Which is quite silly. One of the main differences between a science and a pseudo-science is falsifiability. If an oncologist diagnoses you have a malignant tumor - this is falsifiable. It is either true, or false. You don't need a consensus or an opinion.

But in psychology, there is scarcely such a thing as falsifiability, especially in the overly broad diagnostics. This applies not only to diagnostic/analytical psychology, but even to contemporary research in psychology. Psychology is the butt of the replication crisis with even leading psychological journals seeing replication rates in the twenties. There's something very wrong with this field, and it can be largely explained by considering the fact that it may simply be a pseudo-science.

I haven't noticed, because I don't use dark mode, instead relying on dimming brightness and contrast of my displays while having soft and warm background illumination :-)

In light mode I miss some color themeing, like soft/warm something yellowbrown/manilapaperstyle instead of that hard black&white, but it still 'works for me' that way.

Or maybe a lighter grey like https://fabiensanglard.net/

If that were the case, I think something like this should be the default(on dektop) for wikipedia.
The use of : in 'foobar: foobar' here is syntax sugar for

:foobar, foobar

where :foobar is a symbol that evaluates to itself and foobar evaluates to the value the variable points to.
It is possible that this second recursion doesn’t hold at N=3 (because there is enough of the density covered by the fraction of real polynomials), but then only starts at higher degrees (it will eventually be easier because the N-2 degree will have a higher chance to have a root higher than the new complex b). So this makes is certainly more complicated to prove but still seems intuitively correct to me.
Did we started judging language by some libraries written in that language?

Also, where did you encounter this exception? Im really curious.
The first time I attempted a Lisp back in about 1989 or something, I used the metacircular evaluator from SICP.

A little later I used Norvig's Scheme implementation from chapters 22 and 23 of PAIP (https://norvig.github.io/paip-lisp/#/?id=paradigms-of-artifi...).

I liked Norvig's a little better. It starts with a simple interpreter and adds improvements step-by-step, winding up with an optimizing compiler that targets a bytecode VM.

That approach makes a lot of implementation details manifest in a way that is easy to grasp. For example, I think I understood continuations much better after seeing Norvig's account of how to implement them.
This is actually how I discovered CHIP-8. Yes, I know it dates back to the 1970s, but it was the version on the HP48 in the 1990s that introduced me to it.

A sufficiently powerful solar storm could fry most or all of the energized transformers in its path through induction causing overheating.

Without transformers you have no electrical distribution, which would lead to societal collapse very quickly, as there are not enough spare transformers to replace all of the existing ones. We are heavily reliant on refrigerated supply chains for food distribution.

Without electricity, all of the other utilities you rely on would cease. Water, natural gas, internet, sewer, etc all require electricity.
There are few one-dimensional characters. It seems lots of people discount any worthwhile acts performed by people who also perform bad acts. Many of us are a little complex, quite a few of us highly so.

I'm interested in the link you posted but the modal dialog is off-putting.

Another reason is that farming machinery compacts the soil.

Techniques such as min-till and no-till aim to minimise soil disturbance (to reduce emissions from deep ploughing and improve soil fertility), but to achieve this you really need to make sure the equipment accurately follows the same path through a field every time, so that the area affected by compaction is mimimised.

Not a farmer, I learned this from the youtube channel Harry's Farm.
Given how much rotating black hole differs from non-rotating one I believe a black hole consisting exclusively of swirling photons could have some very unique properties that out best models don't necessarily capture.

For example some resonances that could expell enough energy through gravitational waves to make it unstable and explode into a version of a big bang.
(Shrug) I can read and watch the news, just like you can. A country of congenital losers made up a bunch of fairy tales about Nazis to justify an incompetent war of conquest against their peaceful neighbor. They said it would take three days, and now, over two years later, they are bumming weapons from North Korea.

You tell me: what should I think of Russia, given the evidence at hand? They are still powerful enough to cause immense pain and suffering outside their borders as well as inside. If they were content with the latter, that would be one thing, but we have Putin's word that they are not.

Welcome to Hacker News. And what a post for your first post, too :) Omniclip is already at the level where I could have used this for a recent project, for which I had to inset a video inside a slideshow (I ended up using pymovie, but it was time-consuming without a GUI to help me align everything). As for feedback, I think an undo system could be a good next feature. I really appreciate that it's FOSS!
I'm curious: did he used to have a talent for humor too?

What was once used to create a laugh, the absurdness of tangents and conspiracies, is now serious because it's attributed to a virtualized antagonist, who is manipulating our lives and making fun of it, by exploiting collective behavior, pulling the strings.

It's us that do not see we are manipulated, and that we are propelled to invest towards what's not in our own interest, taking them for a ride to an unwanted future. They must feel their control over their own lives is being taken away.

Perhaps like the jews knowingly went to the slaughter, and they could not be convinced to revolt themselves and fight for their life?

Brain Uses Quantum Effects, New Study Finds [video]
I suppose I’ve been a systems type thinker all my life and so it is strange to me how rarely most people connect dots. To me it is quite clear that the GP was referencing the externalities of fossil fuel based energy (the movie itself was a very thinly-veiled analogy for the same). Given that lack of systemic thinking as a species, it had become quite clear that we will indeed burn up all our resources to build as many paperclips or some other widget as possible. Look up “paper clip maximizer” for that reference if you’d like.
> It is set up to make money and return money to investors either via capital gains (buybacks) or income (dividends).

Seeing this always saddens me. That the primary purpose of these insanely rich and powerful entities is just 'make the rich richer' and everything else is considered incidental. Is this really the best we can do?
One might also call it laziness.
There's thousands of video games for instance that are just blatantly obviously bad ideas but nevertheless get years of work put into them. This goes for any tier too, indies, AA, AAA, etc. Why? Still haven't figured that out, but I've seen way too much effort put into games that are destined to fail. I don't know where that drive comes from particularly in the indie space but I really wish I had it. Point is, the quality of an idea does not seem to be a major factor that constrains people from committing a ton of resources bringing it into reality.
Same, I increasingly dislike splitting up code into separate files unless there’s a really good chance each file’s going to be imported/used independently in at least some cases.

I realized I’d made this shift a couple years ago when I had a ~500 line (god, that’s not even that long) single-file program I was very happy with and thought well-organized and someone a fair bit more junior complained that it needed to be split up just because it was long.

Ew. No. Thought a decade or more ago I might have thought the same thing.

I personally don’t think this is a good idea, and I think the formatter plugin is going to give someone insane amounts of regret one day. It’s neat as “look what I did” but Elixir is all about removing magic.

It (lack of magic) is one of the things I appreciated most, having originally come from Ruby and Rails. I’ve been using it professionally for nearly ten years, and I can say this isn’t a feature I’ve ever really wanted. My text editor can save the typing via shortcuts I type, and in doing so supports string keys, atom keys, has zero compile time dependencies, and no new syntax ;)

I’d really encourage you to put a note at the top of the readme that this shouldn’t be used in production code.
> Schwarz says organic farms like his rely heavily on precision farming features, because rows of crops are planted very tightly together to prevent weeds from growing in the spaces between plants. “We used to have markers that would scratch a line in the ground that you could then use to kind of drive by eye,” he said. “Now, we plant so tight in terms of how much the tractor can go side to side and how much the equipment can go side to side that if we aren't absolutely perfect, it just doesn't work. You just physically can’t drive that straight [without guidance]. If you're sitting up there in a tractor seat, you can't steer fast enough or well enough to not kill the crop because we're so tight on clearances.”

Not at the tolerances they're able to drive those hulking beasts under automation, they can't.
Man. It will literally never stop being funny to me when people try guilt-tripping developers into adding Safari support. It's the exact same shtick, every single time:

"Can we have Firefox support? It would really help promote the Open Web."

"Sure, it was on our roadmap already."

"AKTLY You need to rewrite your app for Safari support and WebKit coverage because if you ignore that then imagine how bad the iOS experience will be!!! People will blame you instead of themselves because they're simply too domesticated to fix technology issues, so do their work for them!"

...rinse and repeat for everything Apple refuses to support themselves. We wouldn't be begging people for Safari support if it was a successful browser or if people actually cared about it in the first place.

I find it hard to believe that a Canadian company's model contained an undertrained token related to hockey (albeit in German). In all seriousness, this is pretty cool and am excited to see understanding of tokenization impacts on models improve. One notable finding is that a lot of the earlier open source models have issues with carriage returns, which are not that uncommonly introduced depending on where the data is coming from etc.
Great reply, sorry my response is late but 1998-2003 era desktop icons are a good example. Of course it would be an explicit retro look today but short of a mockup what I can say us that those classic icons felt tangible. They were not afraid to raise a bevel or do 3d. What I expect today us the cool graphics we saw in futuristic ui's in movies but even better. These modern icons feel like a fancy artsy scribble.

I am glad for you that your product is popular and I wouldn't suggest not chasing that. But your customers don't have many good style options these days. If you forgot everything about ui trends and consider something like the button or scrollbar and how real users prefer windows 98's version over win11 or macos and consider why that is, maybe you can set the trend.

Why squares and scribbles when you can do cool animated 3d that is bold and beautiful?

If farmers have such heavy reliance on gps, why not use local positioning systems like AGPS networks?

Why are local base stations affected? Do they consistently need satellite gps data? If the satellites go missing for a few days, would that mean local base stations won’t work? I have worked with rtk before, but i never understood why not setup your own personal base station network.
This is amazing. It brings back memories of the first time I taught myself 6502 assembly, there was a book called “The Visual Computer” that came with an emulator on a floppy disk. It was very eye opening! I found a PDF of the book [1] but not sure if the software on the floppy survives anywhere.

This needs to be recognized as an indictment of our society. An inability to accomplish anything in a collective and intentional manner is only one of the many disasterous outcomes of the wretched individualism promoted by the neoliberal agenda. And make no mistake; this is not a result of a so-called "free market". It is the result of top-down privatization. The US government, for example, has a much larger budget than ever before, accounting for inflation and so on. It's just being delivered to private firms for profit instead of on building big things or maintaining the big things we used to build. This lack of cooperation across society is also the primary source of cultural breakdown and the sense of "division" felt by all of us, both rich and poor.
That is indeed the goal I am working towards, but a bit more relaxed than Erlang: mutability is possible only within a single actor/thread, but anything sent in a message to another actor is deep copied. So no memory is ever shared, but the language allows single-threaded mutation for performance.
Yup. It is not in your control. That's OK. You're not in control of the ocean or river, or the weather, or the ground under your desk. You are often in control of the vessel you navigate them with. Navigate your people, skills and situations.
I doubt DARPA were passive. But how much of google do they now own? Or should that be 'we' if you're a US citizen.

In any case 'investment' doesn't build anything, it just an enabler for others to build. Just like betting on a race horse is not the same as actually riding around the track and passing the finish line.
Would this not relegate this option to niche areas?

Dell cracks down on hybrid working again
That article seems like a long way to say something very simple:

1) If you have an n-dimensional space where each dimension means/measures something, then points close together in that space will of course be similar in these dimensional qualities.

2) One way to measure closeness/similarity between two points is to consider them as vectors from the origin to the points, then compare the angle (cosine similarity) between the vectors. If the vectors point in the same direction (small angle between them) then the points lie in that same directional region of the n-dimensional space.

3) There are also other ways to measure closeness of points such as the euclidean distance between the points. Cosine similarity tends to work well for high dimensional embedding spaces such as for text embeddings or face embeddings, where distances between different dimensions (e.g. eye-shape vs size-of-nose) are meaningless since these are not euclidian spaces.
The point of the article seem to be that 401(k) plans took the place of pension plans, replacing unending benefits with a finite pool of money.

But they picked a weird way to get that point across. The senior in the article has $200,000 in savings -- but insists on acting like she won't also receive any social security benefits. (And then is worried about her stability, and wishing she had a pension plan.)

The larger point may be valid -- that employers aren't contributing as much as they used to toward their employees' retirements. But that gets into a whole discussion about how the nature of work has changed over the last 40 years...

Of course, it is the norm.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful Sunday afternoon surprise, I'd posted this originally on a Friday and I guess a lot of us were out watching the polar lights. This was a fun project to work on.

Right now it doesn't support a multi-user daemon mode, kind of similar to mosh. But in the future because the server is able to cryptographically verify the source of connections, it's only a matter of time until I implement something akin to a per user `~/ssh/authorized_keys`.

With noisysockets I'm effectively building out a suite of WireGuard powered "apps". Which are small, unprivileged, programs you can attach to a WireGuard network and will act as virtual peers.
I consider that to entirely be a publicity stunt. At the time, Apple was entirely aware the United States imported Greykey tools for decrypting iPhones, and within the week the San Bernadino phone was cracked by cops anyways.

It is pure security theater. If you're waiting for Apple to come out and make a press release admitting to all this, you've missed the point entirely.

Maybe, but we don't know until we hire a lawyer to check it out. And we don't.

Nice to read this.

Curious how CORDIC performs against cubic or other polynomial interpolation with a small table. I was taught that resource constrained synthesizers sometimes used cubic interpolation, and this was presumably when CORDIC was relatively new.

At a glance, the single bit of precision you get with each iteration of CORDIC means it would be more expensive in compute but cheaper in space than a polynomial.

But on the space note I feel we should highlight that it can be cheaper than the article might suggest with the 4096 entry lookup tables for sin(x) - Only a quarter of the full circle is needed due to symmetry.

Collective intention requires some amount of collective agreement. Many people are unfortunately scared of nuclear power and politicians know this.
There’s clearly some value to consistent power sources producing clean energy but if SMRs are in the $0.15/kwh wholesale range, they’re DOA.

Solar+battery gets you there today, is getting cheaper every day, and there’s almost zero project risk. If the install is small enough, you could likely beat the realistic costs for SMRs with solar + battery + diesel generators if you need a guarantee of 100% uptime.
They can't do (1) because they don't have extra to save.

Maybe (2) is doable, but it's hard when you're worrying about next week.

(3) is basically the same as (1).

I'm not sure about (4). Your choice is between throwing money away on rent, and being house-poor, overleveraged on a house.

Again, you can't do (5) when the only asset you have (and can just barely hang on to) is a house. And most people sure as hell don't get equity from their employer.

So, sure, if you're a typical tech worker making $200k+ with some stock options -- which probably does characterize a substantial fraction of people here -- then the advice is very reasonable. Yes, "seven figures" is an overstatement. But a ton of people make nowhere near this.

I think the advice for lower incomes needs to be about (a) increasing skills/qualifications/income (but choosing education wisely), and (b) pooling resources with roommates/family to reduce expenses.

In music, there are a wide variety of genres with a wide variety of sophistication. And for the most part, there are serious artists doing serious work in all genres, including pop, c&w, hiphop, etc. The most esoteric Jazz musician will have pop artists she admires.
