It would genuinely shock me if Chomsky wasn't the most cited author for works published today even if you exclude works that are dismissive of him.

The reason the specifics of Chomsky's proposals are changing is that it isn't a solved problem and he and others are continuing to try to advance the understanding by revising proposals in light of better arguments, simpler explanation and (contrary to what you say, see [1] which lists some examples) experimental evidence. In Chomsky's most recent book he himself quotes Wheeler: "Surely someday, we can believe, we will grasp the central idea of it all as so simple, so beautiful, so compelling that we will all say to each other, ‘Oh, how could it have been otherwise! How could we all have been so blind so long!’". I think people have a hard time understanding this because it is one of the few nascent sciences and therefore no one has figured out the fundamental theories.

And if some specific proposal like X-bar theory is falsified or supplanted by something else that doesn't falsify the core ideas of universal grammar or the minimalist program. You say that it isn't possible to provide evidence that these are false but Moro for example conducted experiments comparing hierarchical and linear language processing that potentially would have provided reasonable evidence against language being hierarchical had they shown linear languages were processed similarly (instead they support it).

The reason you should be downvoted is that you made a bunch of evidence free assertions; You could have said "Neil Bohr's work has been completely falsified and is of dubious value" with the same amount of supporting argument.

It's harder to do with a usb-c charger and laptop because the spec requires higher voltages are made available with higher wattages, and manufacturers only make products to hit sweet spots in the specs and market.

You might end up with a readily available 65W charger to get the necessary 20V, even if you don't want 3A.

How to Communicate over Text
congrats on the journey into print technology! as others have said, ligatures divide the audience into "no extras please, I want clear character codes for my tech work" and "produce visually pleasing type content for my excellent reading audiences"

Digital information is relatively new compared to print.. which is relatively new compared to human history. So there is some overlap in communication, language, style and accuracy challenges. Print is not dead! but not the focus so much on an online forum.

PDF the document definition is sort of a mess really, but here it is. Obviously Adobe Systems is not going to save everyone. great to see this writeup here today.
The simplest tactic is to bid up anything they're trying to buy to 101+ paise on the rupee.
This is an excellent solution. We also need to dial back the domain of conditional restrictions that authors can place on works that they release to the public.

> Too much of the wrong tourism in the wrong area of the city can be a negative thing for living quality, for life outside touristic seasons, for the general development of neighborhoods etc.

If that was really a concern, cities like Barcelona would be railing against hostels and would impose a higher baseline for tourist taxes to eliminate the economic feasibility of projects catering to low-cost party tourism.

Ask HN: How did you come up with your startup name?
Hey guys, quick question

Everytime you build something, you name it and we probably stress out while finding a good, suitable name, a name that would reflect our product.

How did you come up with the name for whatever you've build, is there a story behind it and then you were like this is it ..

Let's go...
Thanks for writing a great article.

I was honestly impressed with how much you cared for your employees.

The American way would be to just sell it to the highest bidder without any concern for anything else.

Does India have a different social contract? I'd never expect a company to actually look out for my best interest.

It seems like you really cared for your team. Are lifers common in India?

Back in my grandpa's time, you worked at the same place for 20 years, they gave you a gold watch, and then you retired.

Almost any diet that contains mostly real food rather than artificial food-like substances will produce substantial improvements in health. Contents are hugely secondary to actually consuming real food.
Indeed!

They probably took the idea from https://esbuild.github.io
The disconnected between rhetoric and action in American political groups is fascinating.

Republicans tell pollsters that violence is legitimate and then go sit inside their houses watching Fox News and whining on Facebook.

Democrats tell pollsters that violence is illegitimate and then go out into the streets to protest, which then regularly includes violence against people trying to get past road blockages, looting of businesses, damage to cars and buildings in the area, etc.

Somehow the multiple months of widespread violence across America under the banners of "Antifa" or BLM or "Occupy X" or whatever leftwing banner doesn't count as violence, but some law-abiding citizen ranting on social media under a rightwing philosophy is treated as if they're a huge threat. It's the most mindboggling double-standard gaslighting.

Again, I’m not saying plastics are awesome or perfect or whatever, and there aren’t problems.

I’m pointing out that if you think ‘putting it in a hole in the ground’ is somehow worse than the ‘natural’ solutions that’s ridiculous.

Especially since ‘letting it sit where it was made and have things eat it’, or ‘accumulate in a hole until it gets buried’, or ‘get washed into a swamp or the ocean and accumulate until they get eaten, subducted, or broken down’ is a classic natural way for waste to be handled in nature. And there are plenty of natural things that are super nasty that this literally happens with all the time, and kills lots of stuff.

And nature regularly has huge die offs, poison events like red tides, etc. from purely natural causes. So clearly this isn’t a ‘solved problem’ in nature.

If we even had a single event like that for humans related to plastics (or even an identifiable single event in animals where we could see it), we’d be having a very different discussion.

If you were arguing for literally not producing plastic at all, then it might be a different discussion - but that seems to be clearly impossible at this point, and not what anyone is arguing.

Most people I know don’t obsessively buy upgrades and those I know who do are actually split between Apple and android- and do it with other things too ie it’s the personality behind it not the company “tricking” them.

The average of gain and neutral should still be a gain.
Yes, though you are phrasing it negatively. Something like 90% of drivers base their speed on conditions, not on the speed limit signs. No amount of arguing that it should be exactly the opposite will actually make that happen, so we have reality to work with. We can whine on an Internet forum that terrible people are not abiding by the posted speed, or we can engineer the roads to meet our goals.
> I know your comment is a "hot take", but the thing is about Tourism as an industry, is that the places where that /is/ the industry end up not gaining any other industries.

This discussion is about Barcelona.

Barcelona is one of the richest regions in Europe. It's hardly a third-world hellhole or a banana republic.
> I understand that matching the flow of traffic is important, but more important than the speed limit?

Yes absolutely. Speed limits are cooked up in a room somewhere and do not reflect the actual conditions of the road. The real world situation you find yourself in when on the road is too dynamic to suggest a number on a sign should be the ultimate authority

It's very understood that when it's raining or snowing or foggy you should slow down because you drive to the conditions of the road because that's safest.

If everyone around you is speeding then that's also a condition of the road, which you need to adapt to
Stripe mining bank account data via "linked accounts"
My new landlord asked me to pay my rent using Apartments.com. The website said 2.75% fee for credit cards and free for paying from a checking account. When you select "checking account", it asked for my bank, login name, and password.

Stripe does the payments. It is "linking accounts" and taking customers's name, address, balances, and transactions. It's website goes on to say: "Stripe and our service providers may also store your financial institution login credentials so we can connect to your financial account and regularly collect updated data that you’ve agreed to share."

The Apartment.com website gave no warning about what was being agreed to before asking for the bank login and password. And once you got to that screen, there wasn't a link to click to pay by routing number + account. After I freaked out, I backed out a few pages and at the bottom of one page was a way to pay by bank routing number and account number.

Stripe trying to hoover 25 years of my financial history and store my bank password is f**ing unacceptable.

Maybe. Frankly this is a very impressive outcome that is attributable both to the Father's business and management practices, as well as the Son's business and management practices. No matter how good you are at running a web business, if you inherit a totally fucked business with poor practices, very unlikely you could engineer this outcome.

My condolences to the OP and I was happy to read such a well-written article describing a fantastic outcome for his father's company.

“These Terms we may use till your Philosophers give us better.”

Yes he had a rationale, the question is why it didn’t change once we knew better; he even called for it.

I mean, I think I know why it didn’t change at any given point - the standard was already in place and it always looks too difficult. But in retrospect, the effort in the 1800s would have been small compared to the effort 100 years later.

Maybe it’s still true that we should change the convention starting now, because the confusion and cost of not changing it in the future will continue to grow?
Training AI
No it is not. Distracted or impaired driving is the most dangerous aspect.
I don't think I'd blanket it so far, but I'm this case, the greater good was probably being served by IA, true.

One of my books is on Anna's Archive. Since I give them away for nothing on my website, it's more flattering than anything. :)
That's cause you want to force 3d AI into existing modes of work instead you should look at how the stable diffusion ecosystems evolved
For me it's the other way around.

I was always good at abstract sciences, like math and theoretical physics. Partially because I could operate in my mind with my very own abstractions.

But I'm for example very bad at chess and tetris, because I can't visualize.

This has been true for me at least since I was 5.
Right, so it's proportionally allocated to providers based on their service to those challenging customers. I'm not sure what's being overlooked.
Sorry for the assumption. Did you have to use an AI for grammar or freshening up the text?

You've submitted this article before and it was marked dead, and with the questionable "Modern" in the title I was thrown off. AI articles have a certain tone with lots of superlatives and "we" usage.

I think it is awesome to help share this stuff with the world, but focus on being direct. There is some meat in the article, but the signal to noise ratio makes it hard to extract the value from the article.

Thank you.

I don't think there is an Indian social contract but having been born and brought up here in the USA, I'd be talking out of my a$$ on that topic :)

This was maybe more of an implied or expected contract I had with my dad and mom who built the business and by extension the Atlas team.

Job hopping is quite common in India, but that's probably more common in larger cities. In a tier 2 city like where my dad's business was, there are limited options for a plant engineer for example, and as far as I can tell, the skills they have in a fine chemicals plant may not be immediately transferable to a plastics manufacturer.

And finally, many were with my dad for 10+ years so probably some amount of comfort in knowing the domain, the job, the boss, etc.

The only way I’ve found (that works for me) is avoiding regular grocery stores at all costs and only shopping at health food stores.

The same stores will have more brands of granola than they do brands of regular cereal. They most often don’t carry things like Oreos, and many won’t carry nation-wide brands at all. (You won’t find Heinz ketchup, for instance)

I find it extremely difficult to shop healthy at regular grocery stores where 90%+ of the items stocked are heavily manufactured and processed.

The downside to health food grocery stores is they’re out of reach for anyone other than upper class income since the food prices tend to be… insane.

Edit: insane as in the same can of soup at a health food store can easily be $6 while costing $3 at a regular grocery store for the same exact product.
I bet you could run something like NeXTSTEP on one of these quite nicely.
People tend to just ignore speed limits and drive at the speed they feel safe and comfortable.

If you want people to drive slower you just design the road to slow them down.
That just sounds so different to how I solve math problems. I was naturally good at maths, but it was always from monologue kind of bruteforcing different solutions until one of them seemed to work. I guess it might be a reason also why I find LLMs really exciting since I feel like if I can do it, LLM should be able to do it. I don't feel like I am doing anything special.

I always had problem with trusting my intuition or gut so I was worse in a lot of other real life things however. But math seemed abstract and solvable by words and brute force.

I wish things just magically came to me, but I think I always have to go through things with my inner monologue.

Like if I was to do multiplication in my head e.g. with same numbers, for example 62 x 62. I would have to go through it as a monologue.

I first remind myself of the strategy to do it, which is first I will do 60 x 60. Then it is 3600, then I add 2 x 60, 3720, and then there is 2 x 62 left, but I have to keep reminding myself occasionally what the last numbers were, that initial multiplication was 62 x 62, then I got 3720, and now I have to add 124... okay lets go 3820, 24 left, now 3844. Of course it is easier to remember as I am typing this, but in my head I have to keep reminding myself. And now I am not sure if I did a mistake so I go verify that on the calculator.

Chimps use more plant medicines than any other animal
It looks like they asked (a large number of) participants what they eat, and checked a correlation between their health and how closely they follow their Planetary Health Diet[1].

First, I don't see any attempt to control for the fact that people who eat "healthy" diets (vegetarian, vegan, avoid sugars and red meat, etc) are often the same people who care about exercise, do routine health checks etc. So even if the diet itself was a placebo, this mere correlation would show results as if it's helpful.

Second, It's already a known fact that avoiding too much red meat and sugar is good for you, so it's not surprising that a mostly vegetarian/vegan diet has health benefits compared to the average. I guess this study shows that this diet, which was designed for planet health, is also good for human health? It's a noble goal, but most people - maybe selfishly - primarily care about their own health. It would be interesting to quantify how much worse for health this diet is compared to a diet optimised for human health[2].

I also don't get the 30% lower CO2 part. Is it about CO2 generated by growing food/raising livestock? One doesn't need a study to know that eating mostly plants generates less CO2.

Disclaimer: I don't have access to the full paper so I've only studied the available abstract.

[1] Mostly vegan with some animal protein: https://eatforum.org/eat-lancet-commission/the-planetary-hea...

[2] Ideally it is (within an experimental error) as good as the "optimal" human diet, but it would be nice to hear that explicitly.
Have you worked with a PhD?

They can be a difficult fit for private enterprise.
> The whole "make the speed limit what most people are doing" was just auto industry bullshit that helped make our roads even more dangerous to people not in a car or truck.

Hard disagree. It is simply an observation of reality, and a very useful reminder to anyone who wants to waste time and resources putting different numbers on signs. You have to actually engineer the roads for the speeds you want, and I get that it's more expensive than just painting new signs and telling your constituents how much you're trying to help.

We have neighborhoods where cars cannot pass without one giving way and pulling off into the parking area. Is it inconvenient? Sure, sometimes, very much so. But you know what? People drive damn slow. Nobody cuts through the neighborhood to save time when traffic on the arterial road is congested. It matters not one bit what the speed limit signs say (there aren't any, actually), because road design solved the problem neatly.
