For last 3 years it feels like clothing with worm logo is all around - there are tshirts, hoodies, pretty sure I even noticed socks and backpacks. NASA managed to promote itself quite well and its branding raised to the range of a popculture symbol. Comparable ESA is rather a "quiet" agency and its merchandise exist solely on their site and nowhere else; I wonder if they do have similar document regarding logotype.

Since we're talking about space, agencies and logos, a little story: there's POLSA - Polish Space Agency, cause we can into space contrary to popular belief. In 2015 the agency has launched a competition to design its logo and over 400 works were sent. The reward was 10k PLN/ ~2.3k €. Work of renown poster artist was selected, independently from all other works submitted which raised quite a storm here. The director of the organizational office stated that: "none of the designs submitted met the aesthetic requirements for a logo. In addition, despite the fact that close to 400 designs were received, in many cases we had to deal with reproductive work." In the end, in 2021 another logo was made and agency didn't disclosure who was the author and how much this lovely thing cost.

Works submitted: https://joemonster.org/art/35407 - copied from fb page that tried to collect all rejected designs; some are clearly jokes (Bolek and Lolek inside Jetsons' flying car, or coat of arm eagle tail repurposed as rocket) but there are few which were really good

Design commissioned and executed by prof. Mieczysław Wasilewski for 15k PLN/ ~3.5k €: https://brandingmonitor.pl/zenujacy-zart-polskiej-agencji-ko...

…there are some technical tricks to retrieve RAM values after power loss

Do these tricks still work? Did they ever work or is it more internet rumor? Modern RAM refreshes itself really quickly and I suspect signal degradation happens more quickly than historical modules.

This is one of the points missing in most conversations. Each has strengths and weaknesses, LLMs are not going to full-on replace search, but can often be a better starting point. The main advantage to LLMs is that you can either (1) provide vague questions or (2) provide a whole bunch of context

When I lived in Tokyo and in Japan in general I saw old people walk all the time. In fact the irony is, they are the ones that need to walk most. Physical inactivity accelerates senescence. Only young people can get away with not walking.

Of course there's extremely ill people and when it comes to transport policies there's always exceptions for that kind of commute, but the approach to elderly mobility right now is completely backwards. We should be encouraging modes of transport that keeps the elderly moving and autonomous.

That's an interesting approach. But it still allows opening preparation by White. They could setup positions with deeply hidden threats, that Black would at least need to spend a lot of time on to try uncover.

So I propose that after White made all their opening moves, Black likewise makes their arbitrary legal moves, and then it's White who has the choice of swapping.

That should not only make the game fair, and optionally guarantee wins with your draw rule, but also eliminate all opening preparation.

There should probably be a limit on the number of moves that each player makes in their opening; perhaps around a dozen.

> Do we really assume not being in the US directly fixes everything?

Nobody said anything about fixing everything. When the US fifth amendment doesn’t apply, people have fewer protections from the US government, not more.

Also, I should correct myself slightly on when the US fifth amendment applies: in the rare case where US officials do conduct a custodial interrogation abroad, US courts will recognize the US fifth amendment protection against self-incrimination for statements made to those US officials in that context, even for statements made by foreign nationals. But US courts will not recognize those rights for statements made to foreign officials, outside of two rarely applicable exceptions. Also, of course, dealings within the US with US government officials are constitutionally protected for all nationalities.

I’ve edited my comment upthread accordingly.

With respect to Proton’s home government of Switzerland, they might have more protections or fewer protections than the US fifth amendment offers versus the US government when it does apply - I have no idea and avoided making any assertion either way about that.
> One of the big advantages to type hinting in Python is that it feeds the IDE a lot of information to increase auto-complete functionality

Yeah, until this discussion I thought the main benefit of type hints was earlier detection of bugs via static checking. Now though, I'm getting the impression that the bigger benefit is enabling IDE features such as autocomplete.

That helps me understand better why I haven't found type hints as useful as others seem to - I don't use an IDE. My use of Python is limited to small scripts which I write in a simple text editor.

Ethanol replaced MTBE, which was good (MTBE is terrible comparitively), but now it's turned into a 43 million acre per year ag subsidy program. There is no political will to remove the subsidy, due to the folks who receive these subsidies having outsized political influence, so demand destruction will be a function of EV uptake (destroying overall blended gasoline demand over time). Agrivoltaics would also be a great alternative if you could convince enough folks to buy in.
> You seem to know absolutely nothing about how the Soviet Union worked

I think it’s you who doesn’t. Notice USSR stands for Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It was not a Union of Communist Republics. Have you stopped to think, why is that?

Leaders of USSR were communists, as in they believed in Communism. However, according to them, the country was socialist and they were working towards the goal of achieving Communism. That goal would be achieved eventually, when society or economy or technology was ready. But no official or leader of the Soviet Union would claim that they have already achieved communism.

So you can use USSR to claim that putting communist leaders in charge is a bad idea, but you cannot claim that USSR was an example of communism because not even people running it at the time claimed that it was.

And yes, the eventual goal was to get rid of the concept of money. You can read any of the soviet sci-fi, like Bull's Hour, and see how they imagined it would work.
To be more precise, private enterprise was a crime in USSR until perestroika with punishments ranging up to death. But some people still risked

I think you're absolutely right about macros being the main thing that makes s-expressions valuable, but allow me to inject my own opinion to drive it all the way home:

It's not that the homoiconicity of S-expressions makes it easier to write macros. Plenty of infix expression languages have macros that let you manipulate ASTs. We're programmers; mapping from lexical syntax to an AST is not hard for us.

What makes s-expressions so great in macro-heavy code is that the simplicity and regularity of the syntax lets you create DSLs without having to fuss with defining your own syntax extensions or figuring out how to integrate it into the "parent" language in a way that isn't completely terrible.

Racket demonstrates this rather nicely. They've got a fantastic system for creating macros that let you define your own syntax. It really does work well. But I'd generally rather not use it if I don't have to, because if I do then the job instantly gets 10x bigger because now I have to write a parser plus all the extensions to make sure it won't break syntax highlighting, ensure parse errors are indicated nicely in the editor, etc. And also all that work will be tightly coupled to DrRacket; people who prefer a different editor will not get a good editing experience if they use my macro.

I can avoid all of that headache if I just let it be s-expressions from top to bottom.
This whole line of thought is just based on the not very well-supported assumption that classical computation can't give rise to conscious experience.

> Make it so public transit is less than 20 minutes, goes 24/7 and picks me up within 5 minutes walking of my home and I will use it.

Agreed! Except for the 24/7. I mean, when it comes to commuting, you need public transport to end late enough for you to stay late, but you don't need it at midnight.

I wouldn't think so, no. If userspace isn't using it, then there's no latency overhead; the kernel access its own internal data structures the same regardless. If userspace is using it, the kernel still uses its own data structures just the same, but now there's a way for programs to read those data structures. Using the procfs driver doesn't change anything inside the kernel (well, anything important; obviously it exercises the procfs driver code (which also will have its own variables) and there's some data structures that describe mounted filesystems), it just provides an interface to what's already there.

The Rise of Groupware - How Collaboration Software Came To Be
Ask HN: Could experienced developers have near 0 online prescence?
The conventional wisdom for getting job leads as a new grad and early career is to go to job fair, have a portfolio and open a LinkedIn account. These things allow the prospective employers to see your work or to reach out to you.

The experienced folks don't necessarily attend in-person events, may not keep their LinkedIn profile up-to-date and may not have a website at all. Some don't event have LinkedIn at all. They could be very choosy for in-person events because they take time out of their day: Many have family commitment. They have established their (offline) reputation to the point that their work speaks for itself.

My goal is to have the least amount of info out in public when possible: Social networks for offline friends, family and close colleagues only. Somehow I don't feel that I'm at a point in my career that I can ditch all my online presence and still get job leads.
You say website, so I'll presume this is http traffic.

I feel like the industry of science journalism and its need to blow studies out of proportion are more to blame than the scientists themselves. On HN you'll often see people say "in mice" in the comments of an article that purports a major drug breakthrough. The breathless, best-case-scenario way that many outlets report on even the smallest study, while glossing over important details and failing to couch language properly lead to normal people getting mentally jerked around by an endless stream of articles about red wine, coffee, meat, and every other somewhat nuanced dietary issue. The same problem proliferates in every aspect of research reporting that requires more than an ounce of nuance to describe properly.
Awesome!. I like the focus on a specific part instead of the whole file. This is built to address a very clear set of human problem: Working memory and distraction due to clutter. In general, using a machine to work with the human to solve a problem: Understanding and editing a code base that is formidable.

Use case 1, which you solve, is traversing your own - rather large - code base to do editing, but then there is also the usecase of traversing a new code base base and understanding it by reading/writing a unit test. And also the case of a person who is new to a language but is trying to understand a project. All while that memory pressure is causing him to forget/tire.

In general, I feel one comprehensive way to solve this is using the Theory Of Mind idea from AI-Planning:

1. Set the goal and subgoal of what you are trying to do: Typically these are: Edit code base to add feature, Edit, the code base to add tests, Understand code base by reading/executing a test. But there could be more based on goals and intentions of the person reading the code. These goals come with a set of Actions the system is capable of.

2. Your system can generate/propose a set of actions to meet that goal. Starting with the basics. LLMs could be used to generate "ideas" based on the goals which could be converted to a formal plan which could then be presented to a human in NL [1]. These plans could be just steps based on call graphs at first(very deterministic). But it could also mean that changes could affect other functionalities that you previously understood and now the understanding is obsolete because of those changes. Implementing an Agent that knows what you know and doing it well is a Theory of Min(ToM) implementation that is the holy grail of AI.

> Most marriages - a kind of union - also don't invest in cooperatives.

Is that because most marriages exist in urban centres where cooperatives are uncommon to non-existent? Out here in rural country, where cooperatives are the norm, most married people invest in cooperatives as most of the cooperatives are customer owned. You don't have much choice but to invest, assuming you want to be a customer – and no doubt you want to be, given that they provide basic services for the region.

I'm certainly an investor in several co-ops, and not because I went out of my way to do so. That is, with the exception of one co-op, which I provided additional investment to. That particular co-op runs a very successful operation and provides healthy returns in what is a comparatively stable environment to those who provide an over-and-above investment. They attract quite a lot of investment dollars as a result.

Which says something about unions that aren't investing. Why aren't they investing? Simple: The companies they see in front of them aren't worth investing in.
