Sum of Two Irrational Numbers

Statement: The sum of two irrational numbers may be rational or irrational.

Like the product of two irrational numbers, the sum of two irrational numbers will also result in a rational or irrational number.

For example, if we add two irrational numbers, say 3√2+ 4√3, a sum is an irrational number.

But, let us consider another example, (3+4√2) + (-4√2 ), the sum is 3, which is a rational number.

So, we should be very careful while adding and multiplying two irrational numbers, because it might result in an irrational number or a rational number.
In the end, what we all want is to have a good barbecue around friends...
I wonder to what extent is hallucination a result of a "must answer" bias?

When sampling data all over the internet, your data set only represents people who did write, did respond to questions - with no representation of what they didn't. Add into that confidently wrong people - people who respond to questions on, say, StackOverflow, even if they're wrong, and suddenly you have a data set that prefers replying bullshit, because there's no data for the people who didnt know the answer and wrote nothing.

Inherently there's no representation in the datasets of "I don't know" null values.

LLMs are forced to reply, in contrast, so they "bullshit" a response that sounds right even though not answering or saying you don't know would be more appropriate - because no-one does that on the internet.

I always assumed this was a big factor, but am I completely off the mark?

The world of Cyberpunk RPG essentially has EU be a lot nicer NUSA, with considerable economical domination (thus the use of eurodollar, which was one of the names floated for what became Euro currency), Soviet Union as this really schizo place but which on basic human decency scores miles above post-USA America, and an alliance of African nations as the unexpected black horse who made huge resurgence in space (which also contains probably the only really "free" nations - the old ESA space habitats and their allies).

This is also reflected (and probably heavily influenced CP2077) in Ghost in the Shell, where European Union, in somewhat fluctuating alliance with Soviet Union, is probably among the best locations to live.
Remaining 4 hours and 55 minutes - is for getting person to talk to different people on the team. Management, QA other devs to get the feel of what kind of people we are, presenting company and having time for this person to present his\hers personality.

First 1 hour with management - the important part is to clarify persons requirements and getting to clarify what company requires to make sure he is not going to quit in 1 month - even if it is not entirely preventable and happens.

Then after 1st get to know we send out take home (for applicant to spend up to 2hr not more of his time, but usually we give task that for experienced person is max 30-45 mins) - if we like the person - the same if we send out take home and person doesn't like us or we don't match expectations, he doesn't have send it back or spend time on it.

Then during second interview (1 hour) technical part with devs (if solution is of course good enough but doesn't have to be perfect) is scheduled so person changes his own code so I can see how person uses the tools. If someone claims he is a senior and struggles changing his own code or doesn't use tooling in a proficient way that is what I check. Other part is that I ask for changes and see if person has any improvements or I propose improvements and see how person reacts - is person defensive, is person not having any ideas how to improve code, is it a person that thinks his code is "perfect" in all ways and everyone else is stupid.

Last (1 hour) one is confirmation that we are still on the same page with requirements on both sides then meet&greet to get to know one of business analysts someone from QA to get a feel and second opinion on the person personality - if we don't have red flags anyone rising we make an offer and that is take it or leave it, because all expectations should be already ironed out, we can of course wait so no pressure but if someone is not responding for a week we go for other candidate.
> No need for / in HTML

I personally prefer having the /> even though it's not necessary, so that I can tell at-a-glance whether a tag is self-closing or not. It doesn't hurt, does it?

(plus I'm just used to it because the book I learned HTML from was confident that XHTML was the future)
You're swimming in the same ocean as hundreds of thousands of people who are following scammy "earn passive income from home" guides that tell them how to self-publish garbage books and audio books on platforms like Amazon. You got caught in the same dragnet. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Just recently there was a person here proudly showing off how they created 70,000 audio books with AI.

You probably spent months or even years hand-crafting your book. That's not even remotely comparable, but looks identical to a robot. No human is going to read you book or even flip through the first few pages when they're inundated by literally hundreds of thousands of submissions a month, 99% of which is auto-generated junk.
> There's an over-production of CS grads, as the industry looked very lucrative, so a lot of people decided to go software engineering route.

I don't know about CS grads but I definitely don't see an overproduction of Junior Engineers, or at least what I expect of them. Junior Engineer in my understanding is someone who knows algorithms and data structures, knows at least one programming language really well and can quickly write small programs in that language. He lacks any real experience, he probably never worked on a project bigger than 10k of code, he may not know what CI/CD or docker is, BUT he can code. If you add some curiosity into the mix, he'll have a solid growth path in front of him.

Most of the people I interview for Junior positions cannot code, just can't write 5 lines (sic) of code on the interview on the language they claim is their favorite. I honestly don't understand it, would you apply for a junior cook if you can't cook a ham sandwich? A junior taxi driver if don't know how to drive a car?

Junior means "lots of knowledge but no experience" but somehow in IT many people assume that it means "no knowledge, no experience".

If you know where to find overproduced Junior Engineers let me know please and I'll hire them with pleasure.
Maybe the whole "tech"/software model is inherently broken. Yes you have minimal margin costs, but that also means there is no oversight... Everything is automated and there is no escalation paths or effective humans in the loop... So if anything fails it stays failed...

Well, technically if he isn't getting paid, it's his copyright, allowing him to use the code and even create a business around it, and the company has no rights to it- so in this case it worked out well for him.

But yes, its a pretty crappy idea that people should do 'real' work for free to get hired.
Now that is one finely worded site. More like these needed.

BB(5) refers to the fifth Busy Beaver number, representing the maximum number of steps a Turing machine with 5 states can run before halting.

Here's a breakdown of BB(5):

Turing Machine: A theoretical model of computation with a tape, a head, and a set of instructions.
Busy Beaver Problem: Finding the Turing machine with a specific number of states that produces the most output (often measured by running time) before stopping.
BB(5): The maximum number of steps a 5-state Turing machine can run before halting.
While an exact solution was difficult to pinpoint for many years, a collaborative effort called the Busy Beaver Challenge in 2022 successfully determined BB(5) to be 47,176,870. This means the champion 5-state Turing machine tirelessly executes for this many steps before stopping.
Personally, I can take the 0abcd style of years without going crazy, but it definitely derails my reading flow a bit. I would compare it to writing personal names without capitals, like donald trump.

Hey so - they made a shitty half baked product (the first paragraph of the article has the sources), spent a lot of money on PR, and harvested any data they could - so it's troubling.

With all these circumstances it's you who have to defend it - as I see it the real product here is your data.

It's just sad that people can get away with such schemes and it's more sad that law enforcement will let them do it as long as they get access to the data, see recent changes to Google Timeline.
It’s a pointless affectation that distracts from your technical content.

The evidence for your behavior being distracting/provocative is right here in this thread.

It also would make some sense for various real-time-request-augmented bots to not only use the user agent string of the user's browser, but actually use the user's browser to make the request.
No. Not in this case.

What do you mean? It implements the Future/Task interface and you can definitely use that. In fact you can’t tell the difference from a virtual thread vs a platform one, and it’s available everywhere. I for one thinks it’s much easier to use than the async/await pattern as I don’t need any special syntax to use it.
Yea the job market is brutal. Being unemployed and getting rejection after rejection is really the most demoralizing thing.

Behavioral interviews are actually my least favorite and I have no idea why I'm not passing them. Either my experience is not good enough, or I'm not presenting it well enough.

Anyways to anyone struggling out there - hang in there. Remember that all it takes is one offer to be employed.
Hey everyone! Roam is the TikTok for games; a game-driven social app, where every creator, artist & influencer can make unique multiplayer games for their fans in minutes with the help of AI. We work with Rick & Morty, Batman, Harry Potter, Lego Movie, Tom & Jerry, 64 similar IPs as well as > 250 Content Creators with 138M+ audience reach who have committed to making games on Roam and are signing new creators & IPs daily.

Unlike UEFN or Roblox, that are limited to technical game developers, Roam provides tools for anyone to build personalised games, enabling 10,000x more games to be built annually by every creator & social media user out there. TLDR: We can build the first true game-powered social app and grab a huge market share on the way.

We’re currently looking to fill 2 roles:

* Founding Full Stack & AI/ML Engineer

* Founding Gameplay Programmer (Unity / C#)

We’ve built out the base layer of the platform, integrated AI environment generation, set up the game-building flow, finished 80% of backend, and have a testflight.

Learn more, apply & reach out here: www.build.roam.lol

Not sure, but by the context of the conversation, it seems he complained people keeps saying lisp was an inspiration for Python, when in fact he was not even thinking about it by the time Python was created. Then it appears someone asked him what he actually based on then, and he answered abc, shell, awk. But given the lost message in the thread, perhaps you can ask him for clarification, to set the record straight.
This isn't meant to protect against real-time detection. For example GFW will block streams that appear high entropy from the get-go. This is more to conceal the fact a key exchange has occurred in captured traffic that is flagged for expert/human analysis.
Well, he seems to have had a complete and very public nervous breakdown about trans people in the last few years, so, well, you do the maths.
>Tablets aren't very useful. Well to do stuff Computers can anyway.
Andy Weir's stuff isn't utopian but is obviously very science-positive. I have slightly mixed feelings about Alastair Reynolds' work (I thought Revelation Space petered out a bit, but that Zima Blue is profoundly beautiful etc) but his Blue Remembered Earth trilogy is a very deliberate (dare I say heavy handed) attempt at a more optimistic universe. Going back a little, obviously there's the Culture series which definitely does examine some of the complexity behind a powerful, galaxy-spanning utopian civilisation and its AI attendants, and some of the books are tragic, but I'd definitely live there. More generally, just google solarpunk and you'll find lots of recommendations. I don't know which authors specifically identify with that genre going forward, I've heard good things about Becky Chambers but haven't read any of her books yet.

Hi HN!

I recently added text-to-SQL to my self-hosted website analytics platform. The idea is to be able to ask the AI questions about the data in your MySQL database, so you can get answers without having to write SQL. Currently it uses the OpenAI GPT API (but it only sends the question to be converted to SQL and database structure, it doesn't send any of your data), and the plan is to also add local Ollama support. I struggle a bit to figure out how I can create a proxy to send the local Ollama API calls from the remote dashboard to your local PC (assuming you have Ollama running locally and your dashboard is accessible on a VPS). My guess is that I have to proxy the requests through the dashboard/client.

My goal is to make UXWizz a complete analytics platform (i.e. collect stats in your local database, easily generate dashboards from the stored data, collect events and run A/B tests, store user feedback/forms/polls) that is 100% self-hosted.

There is a demo link in the footer of the website, and there's also a free trial if you want to check it out (it can also be easily installed as a DigitalOcean 1-Click App).

I'm happy to hear any feedback, especially what concerns you might have in using such a platform!
my heuristic is "if there's an if statement, loop, or variable substitution with uncontrolled input, use python".

Thanks!

I am interested in difficult programming problems that require logic or problem solving skills that AI wouldn't be able to handle well. In my experience with using AI for programming the quality of prompt affects the quality of the output quite a bit. I'm not sure if someone has done open research on problems that it can handle and cannot viz a viz quality of prompts.
The confounding is natural - If you even think about investing, then having a financial cushion is the best investment to de-risk your life.

If you don't, you are screwed either way.
We have much more compact and widespread generally available formats out there with libraries for many languages. Want unbounded JSON but more compact? msgpack or bson. Want stuff more efficiently packed based on the message structure? Use protobuf.

Yes, there is a little more effort needed for the engineers there. But ya know, if the inputs and outputs of a thing are actually DOCUMENTED and the schemas are available, it's not some massive reverse engineering feat :P

(Okay, maybe you're stuck doing something in a niche environment where handy protocol/format libraries aren't available to you; MATLAB for Microcontrollers or something. But if you're there, you're probably having fun dealing with all the nuances of implementing an efficient and safe recursive unicode text serialiser/serialiser for a format line JSON anyway :P)

Also if you're going the fairly standard route of "web API over HTTP", the protocols give us way more options readily available for much more efficient streaming of binary data.

It's not "wasting time" to teach devs that there are better ways of doing stuff. base64 encoding mp3s into JSON strings strikes me as "junior dev given 2 weeks to quickly implement something without somebody there to review and suggest alternative ways of doing stuff".

While this is true in theory, in practice the people who control _private_ companies are almost never punished for prioritising personal gain or other personal priorities over the good of the shareholders. Different story for public companies, of course, but these aren't public companies.

Also, replying to myself, have you ever had a job? At a place? Where the primary function isn't coding?

Files are everywhere. They are every-thing. Except now, thanks to the disaster that is SharePoint, nobody has a fucking idea where they are any more. Because they've been abstracted away by some genius on the Teams team.

So nobody can find what they were just working on. Or they have no idea if the thing they find is the right version. It's a total shambles.

A hierarchical file system was boring, but it worked. And it still does.

Disclosure: I'm Johnny.Decimal and my business depends on files still being a thing.
Oh no, that bit's easy.

But you don't ask them "swap the left and right field in each node". You ask them to "invert a binary tree".

Why. The Fuck. Does "invert a binary tree" mean "swapping the left and right fields"?

To me, it means inverting the relationship so child points to parent, which would end up badly-defined, there would be no way to uniquely specify a root. But if you don't know that knowledge, of what the jargon means, you're screwed. So that's what you're testing for.
Show HN: Once UI – open-source design system and UI library for Next.js
When I started my career and built my first design system, I was beyond excited. It took a lot of iterations, learning and 6 months of work to launch it internally. In the next job, I did it again, then at the following job, again… And no matter which company I worked for, 80% of the design system was the same.

I’ve decided to work full-time on the design system I’ve always wanted, and today I’m launching and open-sourcing it. You can use it to build Next.js apps faster, and I’ve designed it in a way that it’s hard to go wrong with it: you can choose any settings, and you’ll end up with a beautiful UI that’s also functional and accessible.

Check it out and share your feedback, I would greatly appreciate it!

They're not unlawful but they are tyrannical.

Imagine a free market where landlords could lease to tenants on any terms mutually acceptable to both, on terms that could be continually revised. Like the terms on most standard websites.

A large rent change might encourage a tenant to leave the agreement. But a small, annoying and petty demand might not justify the hassle of the tenant leaving.

For example a landlord could suddenly and arbitrary ban carrots from being in the house. I don't particularly like carrots, and moving all my stuff to a different apartment to have the ability to eat them is hard to justify. But it's tyrannical of a landlord to exercise power like that.
