> The science of deduction as he's supposed to apply it in the stories would actually require rather encyclopedic knowledge of many different topics in order to understand the wide array of humans he's supposed to be reading

---

I partly disagree with this.

You live with people. A trained person can learn to detect differences - of gestures, habits, behaviour - far more easily, and would not require the broad knowledge that computers need for effective pattern-matching and deduction. (And since Holmes is doing his detective work constantly, he would have been honed and trained enough for that sort of thing.)

That Holmes is ignorant of mainstream things - whilst being extremely conversant in the eclectic - does not necessarily impair his deductive abilities. After all, deduction is just the ability to tie facts after facts and event and event - and to trace effect to causation.

Deducing who might have done something seem entirely within the realm of possibility and limits of Sherlock Holmes' knowledge, given that the evidence he looks into often makes a look of sense in context.

(Now, deducing motive is a different thing altogether - no one really knows what's in the heart of men.)
Would it have had to be more locked-down? I think letting the web be a first-class citizen would have been enough; economic incentives would have taken care of the rest, because few companies want dramatically more paid devs on staff (for iOS, Android, BBOS10, Windows Mobile, etc) for a marginally better experience

"Just throw out a PWA" would have been enough for most execs to get behind, IMO, especially in the early days when who knows which platforms will stick around and have been worth developing for in the first place.
But is there a way to do that with my iPhone and windows pc that doesn’t take <1-2 hours ?
Agree. Let's introduce xvalue, glvalue and prvalue to language spec. Let's define special cases for "auto". Then add some more ( decltype(auto) ).
Let's add && overloading. Since it does not work automatically anyway, add move and forward.
Now let's blame programmer for calling or not calling move or forward in specific place, because obviously when implementing algorithm the implicit lexical lifetimes of temporaries are what every programmer should focus his attention on.

I think that in order for it to truly find deep insights, it would need to do more than just generate training data. I'm also a believer that the current AI approaches are approaching their limits as the human feed dries up and we start using old models to train new ones.

Of course, what that really means and how you'd go about adapting your CUDA code / hardware, would have to be researched.

I think maybe the judges can tell how important cases are based on the charges. I don't think the implication is that someone is somehow reviewing the case prior to it being heard and using some judgement based on some (likely unknown as it has not yet been presented) evidence to order them, but that charges that carry less penalty or that are are already classified as lesser (i.e. misdemeanor compared to felony) are sorted prior to ones that are not.

I don't think the people sorting the cases (which could be the judges themselves) have any additional information that the judge doesn't readily have available, so I'm not sure there's much room for bias of a substantial nature.

What they're saying is that English doesn't have 21 consonant sounds and 5 vowel sounds, which is 100% accurate.

English has 21 letters which we identify as consonants and 5 letters which we identify as vowels, which are used to write ~24 consonants (depending on accent, but generally clustered around there) and a large number of vowels that is impossible to neatly catalog because it varies widely by accent—it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 14-25, depending on accent.

Show HN: Vdm, a sane alternative to e.g. Git submodules
Hey folks! I've been working on something on & (mostly) off for a little over a year, and picked it back up recently because of yet another related frustration at work.

I've spent a lot of time ripping out git submodules from repos my teams use, but I've spent an equally large amount of time wondering why there doesn't seem to be a better option for managing arbitrary dependencies across repos in the Year of Our Lord 2024. So, I put together a really early version of such an arbitrary-dependency manager. It's called vdm, and you can find it in the linked URL above & below.

I'm sharing mostly because I'm curious if I'm blatantly missing some other tool that exists that isn't language-specific (like Bit for JS seems to be, for example), but also in case people have any hot-takes or feedback on the functionality as listed in the README.

Also of note is that I'm not sharing to potentially monetize or "generate customer interest" or anything -- I'm just another builder on the internet.

Thanks for looking, and let me know if you have any questions!

It is true that being hungry makes you irritable. But that irritability is a component of wanting a snack, and the claim is that the feeling of wanting a snack was responsible for a judge denying parole across the board to all candidates, among whom ostensibly 67% deserved parole.

I assume we've both felt hungry for too long. I do feel annoyed and frustrated, maybe I make a rude remark or snap at someone. It is not my belief that it is a feeling powerful enough to make me carry out a massive miscarriage of justice and ruin people's lives for years to come. And I expect judges typically have more willpower than me.

Apple provides the kernel implementation and the API. They don't offer a real competing alternative for the user mode side of the equation. They leave that to the ecosystem. It's a fair trade-off. They can focus on keeping the kernel secure and stable, and the ecosystem can work on all the different ways you can implement anti-malware policy and integrate it into a larger system of endpoint security.

MS offers a full competitive product, and they allowed that product to use features and capabilities that wouldn't be available to others. At their scale, you can't do that without drawing scrutiny from regulators. They could have at least kicked their own product out to userland, or just stopped offering one and focused on kernel stability the way Apple has.

Since this is all spitballing, perhaps they even suggested that the EU, and the EU said "no, it must be kernel access" and capitulated because this served their own interests while also letting them blame the EU for the lack of kernel stability.

Completely shutting down a successful business for ideological reasons is odd. I can't imagine someone building a profitable business for years and then suddenly shutting it down b/c he disagrees with the staff he hired.

Bunches sound like what George Boolos used to give a semantics to 2nd-order monadic predicates. Which is to say, they are just plurals, like the plurals of English.

The advantage being, of course, you do not have to use set theory when giving a semantics to natural languages like English.
I am still to this day gobsmacked how a company the size of Microsoft doesn't do all of it's security in-house like Apple, which locked down kernel access to macos some time ago. The blame is mostly on CrowdStrike, but Microsoft does share responsibility in allowing third-parties to pepper the kernel with whatever code they want to.

> Eskimo-Aleut has 50 (?) words for different forms of snow

This one is actually a very good example of the problem that OP is describing of non-linguists writing linguistics pieces.

The "50 words for snow" story is one of the first linguistics cautionary tales they'll teach you in a college linguistics course these days, on the same level as the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse is for engineering.

The short of it is that it's based on a misunderstanding of the word "word". English is a very analytic language [0] on the scale of things, meaning it doesn't tend to augment its words to create new meanings. Instead we add adjectives and adverbs and prepositions to adjust a word's meaning.

Inuit languages, meanwhile, are highly agglutinative [0], meaning instead of independent adjectives they attach morphemes (meaningful-chunks-of-speech, think prefixes and suffixes) to the word itself to alter its meaning. That's not really the same thing as having X words for Y, because the words are constructed from parts that have their own, independent meaning—these morphemes are essentially a set of adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions that happen to get attached to a word instead of just placed nearby.

> It's possible that the hypothesis is independent of the existing axiomatic systems for mathematics and a computer can't discover that on its own.

Humans have discovered independence proofs, e.g. Paul Cohen’s 1963 proof that the continuum hypothesis is independent of ZFC. I can’t see any reason in principle why a computer couldn’t do the same.

If the Riemann hypothesis is independent of ZFC, and there exists a proof of that independence which is of tractable length, then in principle if a human could discover it, why couldn’t a sufficiently advanced computer system?

Of course, it may turn out either that (a) Riemann hypothesis isn’t independent of ZFC (what most mathematicians think), or (b) it is independent but no proof exists, or (c) the shortest proof is so astronomically long nobody will ever be able to know it

> The incompleteness theorem for example is a meta-mathematical statement about the limits of axiomatic systems that can not be discovered with axiomatic systems alone.

We have proofs of Gödel‘s theorems. I see no reason in principle why a (sufficiently powerful) automated theorem prover couldn’t discover those proofs for itself. And maybe even one day discover proofs of novel theorems in the same vein
Likely so. :-)

The comment by cool_dude85 was a bit impolite but I agree that this is a low quality article. E.g., almost any linguist will tell you that you can't objectively measure a language's difficulty, because it always depends on what's the native language of the person asking the question.

Also, of course, comparing the number of sounds to the number of English alphabets makes absolutely zero sense.
