> Post-Architecture is a method of defining architecture incrementally, rather than designing it upfront

For anyone else wondering what it means.

I'm going to be honest, almost all architecture I've seen out in the wild has followed a more incremental approach. But then again everywhere I've worked hasn't separated the architecture/coding roles.
How do you normally use Prolog and Python together? I had looked into embedding logic programming within Python in the past, and found a lack of satisfying options, but maybe I didn't know where to look.
I've heard a bit about metal detecting in the UK from a relative who is into it. I assume the laws aren't too far off how it works in Ireland.

I know that finding hoards of 1000+ year old coins is completely par for the course and is really the goal of the exercise. It may be different in the new world where ancient metal is uncommon, but that's how it works here.

Groups like the one my relative is in get special permission to search on building sites before they lay the foundations. I believe the developers are obliged to allow this. Destruction of the archeological context isn't such a concern there because the site is being destroyed anyway, but detectorists are still legally obliged to report any treasures to the authorities and can be forced to sell them to a museum.

Playing video games on the TV during the afternoons in our summer holidays are some of my favourite memories. As an introvert and nerd, it gave me time to decompress and practice some skills, while it gave my parents some time to nap and have kid-free time after a morning of playing on the beach in the sun.

Video games were also one of the things I could bond over and practice some comptetition with my dad and much-older sibling.

Balance is key.

I would note that it would drive me mad that I cannot get a gate resistor on a mosfet to be perfectly inline with the gate. I think the mosfet symbol has to be slightly modified so all terminals click to the grid.

Seems the BJT has this issue too.
He was also a fantastic speaker. I watch his iPhone and other announcement videos from time to time and his ability is unparalleled. You can see how many modern day presentations are derived from his style
There are a ton of true statements in this however their existence does not support the reality of the world of technology as a whole as portrayed by the author. This reads like someone that is angry at the world.
I really don't understand why people want to tie their messaging to their mobile service provider. This seems best as two jobs for two companies. Then I can switch either at will.

1. Mobile internet access.

2. Messaging.
My general take (and w/ the caveat that every system is different) is as follows:

- procedural code to enter into the system (and perhaps that's all you need)

- object oriented code for domain modeling

- functional code for data structure transformations & some light custom control flow implementation (but not too much)

I like the imperative shell, functional core pattern quite a bit, and focusing on data structures is great advice as well. The anti-OO trend in the industry has been richly earned by the OO architecture astronauts[1], but the idea of gathering a data structure and the operations on that data structure in a single place, with data hiding, is a good one, particularly for domain modeling.

In general I think we are maturing as an industry, recognizing that various approaches have their strengths and weaknesses and a good software engineer can mix and match them when building a successful software project.

There is no silver bullet. If only someone had told us that years ago!

> Looking ahead, I believe children will thrive if we teach them the life skills that set them apart from machines. I do not buy the argument that kids need to be exposed to tech from a young age in order to be professionally successful. The technology they use is designed to be intuitive (we all learned to use it later in life), and it won’t be the same in a decade. What matters more is teaching them how to be human—how to have conversations, make eye contact, be attentive and alert, be thoughtful and considerate, feel their emotions keenly, be insatiably curious about the real world. Training for that takes years and starts from birth. There is no time to lose.

Okay but this doesn’t mean anything. It’s fine and meaningful if it just means interacting with each other instead of everyone staring at their own tablets or the same TV.

But sometimes people get this idea that if they just remove something civilizational, they’ll get back to being human. But that’s never how it works. Either the mere exposure to it has tainted you forever or it was never that simple to begin with.

The problem with moving to another country in order to get away from your problems (or whatever) is the constant of you. To simplify a lot: your own habitual thoughts. There’s no modern veneer which is obfuscating the real you. The real you is already there. And that takes more than a vipassana retreat/keto diet/tech diet to unravel.

Global payment issue with CHAPS delaying high value and time sensitive payments
The Erie Canal, and the rest of the entire navigate-able water system is relatively unknown, but is a huge huge reason why we have a United States of America, and not 50 different countries with fractured cultural, military and social histories.

The USA has more interior navigable rivers and waterways than the rest of the world combined. The Erie Canal's connection made it possible to circumnavigate the northeast, northwest, and a good chunk of the Midwest and Canada without ever leaving a protected waterway, thanks to the Mississippi system, New Orleans, barrier islands, and the Great Lakes.
The "magic" of Prolog is built upon two interesting concepts : Unification ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unification_(computer_science)... ) and Backtracking ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backtracking ).

Often bad teachers only present the declarative aspect of the language.

By virtue of being declarative, it allows to express inverse problems in a dangerously simple fashion, but doesn't provide any clue for a solution. And you are then using a declarative language to provide clues to guide the bad engine toward a solution. Making the whole code an awful mashup of declarative and imperative.

Rules :

- N integer, a integer > 1, b integer > 1

- N := a * b

Goal :

N = 2744977

You can embed such a simple problem easily but solving it is another thing.

The real surge of Prolog and other declarative constraint programming type of language will be when the solving engines will be better.

Unification is limited to the first order logic, high-order logic unification is undecidable in the general case. So we probably will have to rely on heuristics. By rewriting prolog goal solving as a game, you can use deep learning algorithms like alphago (Montecarlo tree search).

This engine internally adds intermediate logical rules to your simply defined problem, based on similar problems it has encountered in its training set. And then solve them like LLM, by picking the heuristically picking the right rule from intuition.

The continuous equivalent in a sort of unification is Rao-Blackwellisation (done automagically by deep-learning from its training experience) which allows to pick the right associations efficiently kind of the same way that a "most general unification algorithm" allows to pick the right variable to unify the terms.

Actually, booking.com has dropped that last requirement in the whole of Europe due to legislative pressure. Hotels can now offer cheaper rates if they wish. This was already the case in Belgium, Italy, and France, and is now policy for all of Europe.

#3 is big as I'm not a security or IT person, but have had a big burden placed on me with regard to security. The biggest factor is work that was once done by internal employees in trusted areas is now outsourcers and contractors, sometimes from low pay higher corruption areas.

There's a constant fight of giving and removing access from an army of people. Additionally, there are often efforts to push these higher risk people into more confidential areas because the push to cut costs. Make one exception and then a "but this person has access" is sure to follow.
All fine and well, but I always come back to "If I were a manufacturer/creator of some work/device/software, that does something in the plausible realm of 'telecommunication', how do make sure, that my product can always comply with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawful_interception requests? Allow for ingress/egress of data/commands at as low a level as possible!"

So as a chipset creator company director it would seem like a no-brainer to me to have to tell my engineers unfortunately to not fix some exploitable bug in the IOMMU/Chipset. Unless I want to never sell devices that could potentially be used to move citizens internet packets around in a large scale deployment.

And implement/not_fix something similar in other layers as well, e.g. ME.
Probably not uncommon. My final year at my last employer post re-organization and other changes was cold-hearted money extraction for (generously) part-time work. I was sort of disappointed I didn't get a package when they laid a fair number of people I worked with off. But I took a hard look at my vacation balances, upcoming holidays, RSU vesting, etc. and decided to coast for about the next year which, as it turned out, was just about the point it would have been difficult to continue on with no real job not that I would have wanted to.

Wonder how many news companies are using an idea I had to name their articles where you have an AI generate a large set of suitable titles based on the contents of the article and then rapidly A/B test them to determine which get the most clicks.

Dang, substitute Lisp for Prolog and this describes me. Seriously though - Prolog is an awesome tool to have in your toolbox. I've implemented Prolog-like logic programming solutions in several places in my 40+ years of programming. Like rules for assigning molecular mechanics force field atom types.

What you're describing is the modern (digital) version of "sin tax".

Well, one can exist on HN.
I think its a very complex topic - what sort of average societal behavior then leads to some dominant trait X in given part of population. Its definitely not online vs park reduction.

Older generations experienced often very little emotional intelligence, men were told from very early age to man-up, men don't cry, you don't discuss your feelings because that would be / make you gay. Women were raised from small girls to be obedient wives and mothers and not strive for much else in lives, just shut up and listen.

I can see this massive EQ (or whatever is more appropriate term) difference myself, even me vs my dad, if you know what to look for its in plain sight and its massive. Now some folks from current generation didn't 'escape' this and are still like that, pushing this to their own kids, I somehow did and further I went away the clearer the picture was. I don't blame previous generation, this is how literally everybody functioned and how they were raised. But overall they had more freedom to play and also way more restriction and punishment.

Lets see how today's young will fare in retirement, I don't think it will be a nice picture, definitely not for new generation of young.

When I saw the browser/app automation “RAG” thingy in the first presentation I was instantly suspicious. I’m sure the AI is hard enough (that I don’t know) but I do know that everyone is fighting against automation and scraping, so it’s an arms race that’s very difficult to win. Simulating human behavior isn’t enough (sometimes being human isn’t even enough either).

For instance, I know that a fintech company (big name) had deployed a physical android phone fleet to sign in to banks on behalf of users, around 8 years ago. That’s because the bank had used extensive fingerprinting tech to lock out any automation.

It’s sad, but the world is much less interoperable than it used to be. That’s not Rabbits fault, but obviously lying about it is.
> 2. Rein in Wasteful Federal Spending

> Republicans will immediately stabilize the Economy by slashing wasteful Government spending and promoting Economic Growth.

Just need to read between the lines. Project 2025 argues NOAA is wasteful and ineffective public spending. The party platform is to eliminate wasteful public spending. Hmm...I wonder what'll get cut...

It is incredible to see people argue policy documents pushed by most of the largest conservative think tanks will probably have no bearing on anything the GOP will do. As if the Heritage Foundation has little to no influence over the modern GOP. What a joker.

And especially when it comes with neutering NOAA, its like everyone just forgot they were pretty close to doing it a few years ago. And have tried it in the past as well. You're essentially arguing for people to not trust what their eyes are seeing. This isn't some random one-off policy document spun this year, this is stuff the GOP has been trying to do for twenty fucking years.

Thanks so much for the encouragement! Quitting my job to build Taim was definitely a big step, but it’s been an exciting journey.

Currently, Taim tracks your activity on a project basis. You need to manually assign a task/session name to each activity. However, I'll try to also automate this process in the future based on previous sessions to make it even more seamless.

Taim stores all data locally on your device for Individual licence owners, so you have full control over it. Used application history will be only visible to you.

Thanks again for the support and great questions! If you have any more, feel free to ask.
BERT and T5 models are slowly consuming the computational biology field, so they certainly aren't dead to all.
Someday, when the global language is no longer English but some other language, the new global language will still be full of fossilized English phrases, just as English today is full of fossilized French and Latin phrases.

There is absolutely nothing going on in the world to suggest that happen in the foreseeable future though. There is no competition, and it's inherently hard to change like any standard due to chicken-and-egg, so it tends to only happen when the entire world system is completely upheaved, to the point of the old world being a small part of the new world, and to a degree far greater than the possibilities of today. The stuff going on in the world today is mild comparatively.

In particular, politcal falls of the sponsoring empire don't directly lead to much change here, actually. Latin kept being the language used throughout Europe centuries after the Roman state was gone and buried in the west. Scholars were still writing in Latin in the 1600s. Within my parents' lifetime, Catholic mass was still said in Latin.

Why do you care about "co-founder status"? What does it even mean? It's just words. The deal is good, I'd take it.
I'd actually say it's the former that requires familiarity with the language. The latter only requires you to know some basic looping/control constructs. You don't need to know anything about classes or modules, for example. No need to understand async vs threads vs multiprocessing.

Honestly if you write psuedocode for an algorithm, there's a decent chance it'll be correct Python even if you've never seen Python.

Do you see how Elon Musk behaves in real time? That was Steve Jobs in his day, but we didn't have social media, so we didn't get to see his tantrums. Both Jobs and Musk were known for thinking very little of people outside their personal circles. It just shows that human beings are innately attracted to mythology and love to romanticize authoritative figures, even when those figures display sociopathic tendencies. Maybe that's why polls say people think less and less of democracy and more and more of autocracy all over the world. We can say these people are changing the world but we should not forget that they are not role models.
