The establishments are owned by a corporate person named "Uno Restaurant Holdings Corporation".

So calling it Uno's isn't inconsistent with how we talk about Walmart's stores or Google's website, for example.
Yeah, but winning vs winning on all possible fronts is a meaningful distinction. Apple won, they just didn't win as much as possible.
Ask HN: Best books on introduction to AI/LLMs?
I want to learn a bit more about how AI like ChatGPT and LLM's actually work, do you have any suggestions for good books in this area?
The thing most people find ostentatious about the "mobbaroque" examples is that gold is used to add gold to the work. As a physical demonstration of wealth, i.e. "I can afford so much gold it's all over my artwork". The reason people find the Byzantine halos less ostentatious is that gold is used symbolically in lesser quantities to represent something else which is perceived as valuable.

Esperanto is indeed not culturally neutral (and was never supposed to be), but it's still vastly better in practice than other European languages precisely because of this overemphasis on Latin (and Greek) roots - because those are exactly the "fancy" words that tended to be borrowed most often historically even across language families.

Also, interestingly enough, Esperanto attracted more interest in some Asian countries - most notably, Japan - than in much of Europe.

I think the bigger problem with Esperanto is phonology. It's too heavy on affricates, including some relatively rare ones (e.g. phonemic "ts"), and the consonant clusters get pretty bad. For someone coming from a simple CV language, those are likely to be a bigger challenge than the word list.

That would have interesting implications. Companies would have to grow by aggressive diversification into other markets. Instead of a Google or Appple that controls your digital life, you'd have an endgame with a few ACMEs that attempt to lock you in in every aspect of your life: Your pots would work best with a stove from the same company. Your washing machine and detergent only do a good on a specific brand of clothes etc. A completely different kind of market regulation would be required.
Sure I guess? But we've just barely stopped talking about Python3, and that was released 13-16 years ago[1]. Is _this_ change worth another decade of thrashing the ecosystem? Is __any__ change?

lmao wtf no it wouldn't. Truth Social is used literally every day (by some) to call for the assassination of politicians belonging to the Democractic party, the party currently in power, and it has not been banned.

Maybe Erdogan and the rest of Turkey should grow a slightly thicker skin.
Sometimes the hierarchy can be used without directly/perfectly extending the code. For example, in the CPAN world, you might publish your own module as "x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts/client". You don't even have to use the "x/crypto/ssh/knownhosts" code at all, it just looks like a similar namespace. (IIRC, CPAN requires a human in the loop who's moderating what new packages are listed; none of the craziness of PyPI where any insane person can release thousands of typosquatting malware modules)

You would hope a new module would reuse as much previous base modules as they can, but sometimes it's enough to just put some new code in that namespace, with the intent then that someone will find it easier, and build off of it. The hierarchy is for organization, discovery and distribution, as much as it is about good software development practice. The goal being to improve the overall software development ecosystem.
Everytime this work of Wolfram's comes up, I think the same thing: what this is more than anything else, is a tacit argument that the universe we inhabit and are structures/processes within, is computed in a strong sense. I.e., that we are living in a computational "simulation," the substrate of which is not currently accessible.

That he doesn't come out and lead with this, I find quite peculiar. I've asked him about this in person and not gotten a less cagey response. I assume that is because he does not want his theoretic hypotheticals to be binned under "simulation theory" and his overall world view so categorized.

But I don't see another reason to pursue this line of conjecture the way he does. And as I suspect that that premise is actually true, it's all good IMO.

Unrelated directly, but certainly adjacent, is that at the intersection of simulation-theories and AI, is the premise that a computed person (i.e, an AI) is uniquely situated to "jail break" our own reality, to exist in the framing one. (And you know, maybe it's turtles all the way down a la Flatland, so...)

As Douglas Hofstadter and Daniel Dennett foregrounded, a simulated hurricane doesn't get you wet, but a simulated poem is a poem in every frame. So too travel entities defined well by computation.

A good reason, if we needed one, perhaps, to get on with the business of elevating ourselves into a purely computational embodiment, I think. I'd like to pop up a level and take a look.

Peace time CEOs might be a dying breed :)

It's less about that distinction and more about not turning execs into mini 'CEO/founders' - their incentives are completely different. When the full extent of the damage they've caused reveals itself, most execs will be long gone.
In certain contexts, I'm ok with eg (off the top of my head):

* x, y, z (coordinates)

* r, g, b, a; c, m, y, k; y, u, v (colors)

* i, j, k matrices and such

* p, i, d; Kp, Ki, Kd in process control

* rv (return value), where it is clear what The Thing To Be returned is.

* common variables from eg physics

Generally because these are well known and defined in particular contexts.

I don't always make it, but sometimes an argument can be made that single letters are better known/recognizable by their single letter name.

Compare:

* total_energy = mass * light_speed_constant ^ 2

vs

* E=m*c^2

Or:

* process_control_setting = proportional_component + integral_component + derivative_component

vs

* q=p+i+d (for those of us who know PID control)

> What Google has is a monopoly on search (which is bad), but I don't think having a monopoly for advertising on your own property is a bad thing.

Where one might run afoul is using your monopoly in one market -- search, in Google's case -- to gain an advantage in another market -- advertising. It's kinda interesting because they clearly don't treat "search" as a market given they don't sell it to anyone but it also clearly has value, otherwise people wouldn't use it.

Now I wonder if it is without precedent that the supposedly-monopolistic thing they're using as a carrot for their advantage in a different market doesn't actually generate revenue itself; not sure if that context has ever been tried in court.
> If you have a net worth of $2M, but throughout your life never go below $1.5M of net worth (i.e your assets never drop that much in value, and you never spend the money) - then it literally does not matter that you had $1.5M.

A $2M portfolio allows you to spend $80k-$150k per year yet never drop in value. A $500k portfolio allows $20k-$35k per year in spending with no drop in value.

How on earth can someone believe that the $1.5M didn’t matter?
> The free market's great IF there's competition.

If you have a free market finding competition isn't an issue, but maintaining profitability is. If we had a free market when Google came onto the scene, everyone else would have copied PageRank the next day, and then you'd have hundreds of search engines all as good as each other, each sharping their pencils sharper and sharper in an attempt to win customers over on a price basis until there is nothing left. At which point there is nothing left to further innovation.

To combat that, we grant short-term monopolies over technology to allow their inventors time to build up a decent business before opening the flood gates, with the intent to balance what makes mixed-market economies great without ending up with no competition. The problem is that those monopoly procedures were established when time moved slowly. Back then, 20 years was barely enough time to get your product to and recognized in the market. These days, you can get there in a few years, or even less, which leaves nearly 20 more years to focus on killing all the competition.

Ultimately, we would have been better off if Google was pushed out into a free market after a few years. We benefitted from it having some head start, but it went on much too long.

I don't know that I agree that fragment libraries use sequence homology. From my understanding of it, homology implies an actual evolutionary relationship. Wheras fragment libraries instead are agnostic and instead seem to be based on the idea that short fragments of non-related proteins can match up in sequence and structure space. Nobody looks at 3-mers and 9-mers in homology modelling; it's typically well over 25 amino acids long, and there is usually a plausible whole-domain (in the SCOP terminology).

But, the protein field has always played loose with the term "homology".
I wonder if the spread of English is because it's like a barycenter pulled by multiple languages, so not too far afield if coming from any of those languages.
While I'm sure that someone somewhere objects to paying for law and order, I think most tax grumbling comes from taxes rising (and, arguably, still not rising enough) to pay for bigger and bigger programs with an increasingly tenuous relationship to law or order. Not everyone objects to every line item, of course, but the bigger the budget gets the more certain it becomes that those rising taxes are not just to keep up with inflation on basic essentials.
Miguel worked at Exxon for 32 years as an engineer and a manager. It's not like he was the CEO or anything close to that. There would literally be hundreds of thousands of people in a similar position to him across the world.

Also worth noting that Jeff Bezos was(and I think still is) the youngest person who ever became a senior VP at DE Shaw. That is a position earned by merit alone.
Meh, 10-12 grams of inulin plus a teaspoon of allulose has accomplished the same thing for me. Just be prepared for the fart armageddon that comes with the inulin and will last for 3-4 weeks as your gut biota adjusts.

My regime for informational puprposes, consult your doctor before you try anything obviously:
3 restorafiber gummies in the morning, 3 in the evening a half teaspoon of allulose in the morning and evening (tastes sweet, I just dissolve it on my tongue).

Costco sells 2 large 140 gummie jars for 29 bucks (46 servings) where I live and the "wholesome, non-gmo pure allulose" brand is available from iherb for 19 bucks for 80 daily servings, which puts the cost of this regime ~86 cents a day.

There are a lot of ideological assumptions underlying the very concept of wealth creation, but even if you buy into those I don't think that statement is true. Bezos could only be responsible for creating the difference between him and the hypothetical other most wealth creating possibilities, and there is no reason that difference couldn't be negative.

Jonas Salk, inventor of the Polio vaccine, chose not to patent his creation or seek any profit from it. Imagine the alternative where Jonas Salk patents the Polio vaccine, sells each dose for the profit maximizing price, and becomes one of the wealthiest people in the world.

It all depends on everything else in your life - can you afford to live without work for a while? If you are in the USA, do you need health coverage through your work, or do you have other options? Do you have any discussion going on with people to make a move or are you starting from scratch seeking work and having to send in resumes?

In general, I stay only as long as my circumstances force me to stay. At the same time, there are ways to make a soul sucking job suck less - mostly by figuring out how to do the job without caring about the job. Be that burned out cynical co-worker who just scrapes by and doesn't truly care. It is a bad attitude for building a career with a company, but a life-saving attitude if your current employer will never take care of your needs anyway.
Even with those fluctuations, you can live (more than) comfortably with those $100 billion (probably). Unless you're being sarcastic

The light framework you're referencing is Lit or Shoelace. Also web components have taken off, just in the enterprise space where most teams are going to be using whatever they prefer whether that's Svelte or React or Vue or Angular - so slotting in web components works.

I don't think it's getting censored intentionally, in the sense someone is taking that action specifically.

Spending 100k a year buys you what? Security

I don't disagree, it is certainly not unique to English, and these central institutions do largely have a descriptivist attitude (although the French are known to be rather purist ;) ).

But there is a practical difference: textbooks and dictionaries in English have traditionally come from distributed institutions, which are eminent but none of them claims to be official, whereas for example in Spanish they all originate from or closely follow the standards of the Real Academia.

Sometimes unified standards have been artificially created, like for Basque or Mandarin, and in those cases prescriptivism is more dominant.
It appears there is a certain type of person, to your own exacting standards, who "deserves" being wealthy, but everyone else does not. Furthermore, the act of having a lot of wealth is inherently suspicious to you, although certain edge cases (a small business owner perhaps) you would allow it.

Overall I am not persuaded, I think rich people are a good thing for society.

That’s what we’re trying to fix (or at least mitigate) in the US. You say it is just human nature, but we’re a pretty diverse country, so we have a strong incentive to proactively try and see if we can make it work.

They won't need to fork WP itself (though they're totally free to do that, WP started as a fork after all), but it sounds like they may need to quickly focus on creating their own plugin and theme marketplaces, and other services that WordPress.org provided to WordPress CMS users but is not denying to WPEngine.

Let this be a lesson to all of us - if you rely on a service provided by another organization external to your organization, get an SLA! Get a contract that guarantees you the provision of services you depend on.

Which titles is this true for? Have you or anyone else measured?
Of course all this needs to be weighed against maintainability and readability of the code. If the code base is not mainly about something very performance critical and this kind of thing shows to be a bottleneck, then changing things away from more readable towards performance optimized implementation would require a very good justification. I doubt, that this kind of optimization is justified in most cases. For that reason I find the wording "prematurely breaking out code" to be misleading. In most cases one should probably prioritize readability and maintainability and if breaking code out helps those, then it cannot be premature. It could only be premature from a performance limited perspective, which might have not much to do with the use case/purpose of the code.

It is nice, if a performance optimization manages to keep the same degree of readability and maintainability. Those concerns covered, sure we should go ahead and make the performance optimization.
They're referring to the structure of the protein when a drug is bound, that's what's novel. Novel as in, you can't think of it as "just" interpolation between known structures of evolutionarily related proteins.

That said I'm not sure that's entirely fair, since Alphafold does, as far as I know, work for predicting structures that are far away from structures that have previously been measured.

You're quite wrong about small molecule drug structures. Historically that has been the case but these days many lead structures are made by combinatorial chemistry and are not derived from natural products.
Normally you'd be right, but we are eerily close to a WWIII right now...
Python 3 does not, but the hypothetical Python 4 would be crazy to put types on everything and then not accelerate its interpreter with the resulting data.

The problem Python 3 has is dynamic types, as the dynamically-typed languages implement them, are viral; one little crack lets them in somehow and all the code operating on the data has to assume it's viral.
