I think this is important to keep in mind, media will attribute back to the ‘enemy of the day’ but the actual evidence is scant.

the recent Ministry of Defence, UK hack was blamed on China, but if you actually dig into it that’s just a hypothesis and it really could have been anyone. If this was happening straight after 9/11 we’d be blaming terrorists, etc.

That might look like a whim, but I always found Lisp to be a rebutal language due to it’s mandatory enclosing brackets.

As M-expressions avoid this pitfall, I wonder if any actually language either implemented the homoiconicity and conceptual elegance of Lisp without requiring these encompassing parentheses.
It reminds me of when I first read about superscalar CPU architecture and was amazed. GPUs are really next level.

No. It rules out hidden variables. The underlying theory is still deterministic: the wavefunction is entirely deterministic. The randomness is only introduced in the interpretation, and for example the many-worlds interpretation is still entirely deterministic, even if it appears random to an observer inside the wavefunction.
Actually it was because some engenieers take pride in creating complex solutions for problems that a moderately trained monkey could solve in a managed language.

Don't hesitate to look. There are offers out there. This was me until recently.

I was at my limit of nonsense unrelated to the job... then unclear RTO policies started appearing.

I put my foot out of the door and raised my concerns.

Management then, in a panic, told me it's being used as a wedge. Platitudes like "Enforcement isn't likely" or "not worth thinking about".

They were right... but not the way they intended. I chose new employment that doesn't play these games.

The market has decided I'm worth an extra $70k/year (with 200k in RSUs) and can work remotely. I now make more money, am officially remote, and have less stress.

By picking up a new job I've actually shed about seven. It's incredible how much burden one can carry.

This isn't even some fancy dev role, just SRE/keeping lights on.

I hope the good people I left behind (or those reading this) recognize the game.

It's the cheapest way to lay people off, get them to leave. The nefarious thing is it costs you, too.

Their attempts to retain were repulsing. I was assured that because of "who I am", I didn't need to worry. That validated the choice for me.
This isn't really what happened. All financial systems were built on the assumption of massive (native) population growth, including of course job growth. When this failed, next up was mass-immigration to attempt to make up for the fact that the numbers coming out of schools can't make up for people "leaving the workforce". Of course, now we find out immigration ALSO cannot cover the people leaving the workforce. Some of it works, to be fair, but too much doesn't, and people don't like the culture being imported.

The issue is, by the way, not that growth stops but that we're currently committed to about a halving of population in most of the developed world. But if nothing changes that could easily become an 80% or more drop.

There is no way in hell our financial system survives the next 20 years without MAJOR changes. Not going to happen.
Then why not show me? Why is getting AI 'art' advocates to actually post something they think is good and explain why so hard? Where are these talented imaginative people and what are they doing?

Tangentially, does anyone have advice on a good medium capacity, medium price utility vehicle? I'm thinking F150, because it seems like the Levi's of trucks (common, reliable, not particularly fancy, old brand, big), but I don't know much.
So, today, 12-14h task X, after that "task Y" until 16h, then "cook lunch, eat" util 17h.

It's 14:00, I just need to recompile X, make a .deb and upload it to a test server... 20 minutes max, and the others in the team can then test stuff and do their jobs... do I stop X and continue tomorrow, while everyone waits? Do I shrink Y to acommodate the lost time? where do I add "editing calendar" tasks? 5 minute slots between full hours?

I'll stay with to-do lists.

The interesting, indeed concerning thing, is that problem is not only applied to medical machines and mobile phones but to zillions of daily used wearable devices such as smart watches, brain eeg (e.g. Muse), and others without adverting users that what they see (e.g. HRV) couldn't be interpreted easily by a computer program.

Not saying that we humans are always better but saying that we are believing in number and conclusions from apps created as-is.
You always have to worry about your model changes if you run at any sort of scale. Some ORMs will get it right most of the time, but the few times they don’t will really bite you in the ass down the line. Especially with the more “magical” ORMs like EF where you might not necessarily know how it build your tables unless you specifically designed them yourself.

This is where migrations also become sort of annoying. Because if you use them. Then it is harder to fix the mistakes since you can’t just change your DB without using the ORM or you’ll typically break your migration stream or at least run into a lot of troubles with it.

And what is the plus side of having a code-first DB really? You can fairly easily store those “alter table” changes as you go along and have full availability of history in a very readable way that anyone, including people not using C#, Java, Python.

Which is the other issue with ORMs. If you have multiple consumers of your data. Then an ORM most likely won’t consider that as it alters your “models”.

For a lot of projects this is a non-issue, especially at first. Then 10 years down the line, it becomes a full blown nightmare and you eventually stop using the ORM. After spending a lot of resources cleaning up your technical debt.
What about the problem of needless pollution?

I've come across a version suggesting that the genius of Shereshevsky is exaggerated because he studied mnemonics at school and if you compare his actual test results, he showed good but still not phenomenal performance.

https://mnemotexnika.narod.ru/izv_mn_02.htm (russian)

Regarding modern requirements for mnemonists, it's seen that one needs, for example, to be able to:

1) Memorize one hundred two-digit numbers in 10 minutes.

2) After a month and a half of the course, retain a database consisting of https://web.archive.org/web/20220331232601/https://www.mnemo... with the ability to recall the information both sequentially and by number, and in context.

I believe there are tens of thousands of people worldwide who have been trained in this manner, and various individual techniques are widely adopted by people.

I've tried learning it myself and I'm convinced that it works, but somehow I keep postponing it. For dissemination, it might be worth paying attention to individual techniques for memorizing formulas or other material to write an article or something similar. Without more detailed personal experience (when I would have such a database in my head), I'm afraid it might come across as mere advertising.

It's astonishing how much can be accomplished with just a bit of "rotating a cow in the mind."

On a related note, I can recall a quick visual counting system where the author attempted to utilize the dialing matrix in a cell phone. The author argues that no genius is needed; there are patterns. One can search for "Творогов В.Б. Наглядная арифметика и технология быстрого счета" for more information.

There's more, but it might already be a bit off-topic...
Exactly. And that means you not only save the 22% but also a large chunk of the Nvidia margin.
Why don't they buy gym pass themselves? Or is it too expensive in London?

And that was in Munich, which tends to be expensive.
> applying machine learning to the output of a lower-power MRI device

So, we get worse SNR data from the device and then enhance it with compressed knowledge from millions of past MRI images? Isn't it like shooting the movie with Grandpa's 8mm camera and then enhancing and upscaling it like those folks on YouTube do with historical footage?
You do realize that B1 is lower intermediate level...? This isn't exactly the flex you think it is.

Besides, learning a language isn't about exams or certifications. It seemed to me that we have very different ideas of what learning to speak a language means, and your answers confirm it. That's fine, but I'm not sure what there is left to discuss, then.

Show HN: TimeKpr, a personal timesheet management app
I recently launched TimeKpr. TimeKpr is a productivity, utility application which lets you store and track personal timesheet entries.

I run a software development services business and need to keep a track of how long I worked on multiple different tasks. Till date, I have been either using an excel sheet or my calendar to keep track of how long I spent working on different tasks. Although these serve the job, I was always pinning for a better UI.
Few days back, I started learning NextJS for an upcoming project. To gain the required practical experience, I developed TimeKpr and now it is GA, for everyone to use.
Hoping that you find TimeKpr as useful as I do.

3D advertisement for Rewe supermarkets using Three.js
This is a scrollable canvas animation advertising "regional products" for the German supermarket chain Rewe. It seems to use a combination of 3D geometry with 2D sprites ("billboarding") rendered to Canvas, implemented with Three.js.

I'm not associated with them, just stumbled upon it and found it quite impressive for a supermarket ad.
You do realize that artificial neural networks are based on the organic ones? Unless you have some dualist interpretation of intelligence that involves some ethereal intangible soul that somehow eludes all detection, nor holds any explanatory power for intelligence?

If you were obliterate your own neural network, by, I dunno, shooting yourself in the head, might that have some affect on your intelligence? Head trauma? Brain cancer? Alzheimer's? Senescence? Do I really need a citation that your brain is where intelligence comes from? *scratches head*

Agreed, though that would make it harder for OP to track his customers.

As pointed out by user 'Sneak' below app phones home with a bunch of unique identifiers and the app privacy label says those are used to track you across other apps and services as well.

Fun fact: That is why linguists are more interested in spoken language than written language. Written languages are ultimately "amateur" attempts to codify spoken (natural) languages. Spoken language consists of utterances not letters, words or sentences. Analyzing language requires grouping sounds into compounds that serve specific functions or carry specific semantics but for spoken language the structure will be a lot fuzzier and more complex than for the simplified written language even if the author attempts to replicate spoken language in writing. Even phonemes don't tell the full story.

A couple of thoughts on this one.

I think it is worth putting this in its historic context. Most of this code was written at a nascent point in JS history where NPM packages could start to be shipped to the browser (i.e. the Browserify years). This was a pretty wild time but one of the concerns was about the amount of code being shipped to browsers (this is pre-tree shaking, which only really works with ESM). Additionally, the glaciation of the JS runtime and standard library at the time, alongside the NodeJS "Cambrian Expansion" of npm, meant lots of authors were working to build out packages that fixed these classes of deficiencies (another example being the now infamous left-pad). We saw the same thing about the same time in the PHP world with the MicroPHP manifest and Composer, and I believe there was cross-pollination of ideas between these two things.

It is also worth noting that a decent proportion of people entering into the JS world at this time were more traditional HTML/CSS designers, maybe with some backend experience, but usually not engineers with a strong programming background (my experience, mileage may vary).

Looking at the chain of dependencies, the underlying logic of `is-number` is both common enough and a big enough footgun for those particularly less experienced JS developers to warrant a module. And once you've got it, need to do something with it, and once you've got things depending on you, you can't take it down; and thus, a house of cards is built.

Lastly, I think its worth keeping in mind that this also tracks with an industry shift to GitHub and an explosion in MIT Licensing/sharing in a world untarnished by the kinds of supply-chain attacks a good deal of us are now rightly worried about. We take it for granted now, but GitHub was a huge change to the way FOSS happens, and that facilitated this kind of repo building (free hosting, free publishing to NPM, sharing culture etc).
If you have the tools to work with metal, you can use those tools with few, if any, modifications and do the same thing with nylon.
I once went into the loft space of my house, and found that in 1949 the guy pointing the brick chimney stack had written his name on it.

How many times in the last 75 years has that name been seen? Probably only a handful. That guy is probably dead now, but his name will be on my chimney for decades to come.

Maybe these people had the same instinct? Crawl somewhere deep and rarely seen and leave a mark. They probably also left marks everywhere else, but they're gone now.
It's likely an ironic usage.

Silly. Many big corporations trust Microsoft touching their code. There are enterprise policy controls for Copilot, which includes data privacy.

If you want to make this argument, then the realistic reason would be that Copilot hasn't yet completed the SOC 2 compliance process. That would be a valid reason to wait, for corporations that are listed on Nasdaq or work with very sensitive data. But that's far off from the comment I'm replying to.

The change is a problem.

If you expect x plumbers to be needed in year y and x/2 not many years later (within the span of a plumber's working life), how many should choose to become plumbers in each year? How about buildings and other infrastructure with long lifetimes?

Rapid change makes those things difficult. Don't want random home owners to have to speculate on that, and for some of them to lose their shirts when the population is too low to find a buyer for their home.
Making explicit whether a ticket is a guaranteed placement or is a waitlist would make the practice clearer.

I don't know what the no-show fraction is, so pulling numbers out of /dev/ass: airlines might be mandated to sell 85% of tickets as assured placement (with corresponding cancellation penalities), and 25% of seats as provisional or standbye. Most of the standbye tickets would actually be seated, some would not. (In my hypothetical, the flight is 10% overbooked.) In the event of a standbye ticketholder being bumped, they'd be promoted to guaranteed placement on the next available flight (and perhaps given a service upgrade as well.)

People with flexible travel schedules (students, some vacationers) could opt for a lower-cost provisional ticket. Those with fixed iteneraries or group-travel requirements (business travellers, families, etc.) would buy a guaranteed seat. Airlines could of course vary pricing by ticket class accordingly.

In this case, the status and pricing would be explicit.

And the overbooking / provisional fraction would likely vary by conditions --- high-travel periods, days of the week, and/or time-of-day might have a larger share of provisional seats. Low-travel periods, where flights are not fully booked would offer a larger share of, or exclusively, guaranteed tickets.

Much of what I describe already exists, but effectively all coach-class ticketholders are provisional. Bumping occurs rarely, but can be highly disruptive when it does occur. With an explicit class of provisional tickets, expectations and needs could be better met.

wow, that’s really quite reductive.

It sounds more like this might be a choice you feel strongly about but are projecting selfishness on to others?

This can be a totally fine choice for someone to make personally (which I support), but also not good for society as a whole. Both things can objectively be true.
>My impression of the law in most Western countries

Apparently you still didn't get it, so let me spell it out: Your entire point hinges on your own impression that your government won't abuse its power. An impression that will always be heavily influenced by PR and propaganda, no matter where you live - and one that seems eerily off considering the fact how often surveillance programs and attempts at destroying what privacy we have left make it to the surface. This kind of blind trust in your superiors is the straightest way to a 1984-esque dystopia.
