That's a really good point...

But -- (and forgive me if I'm totally wrong) -- this isn't just "non-english" but "non-phonetic" which is a smaller set of written languages, and the underlying language is ... math.... so understanding the underlying grammer itself relies on having decades of math education to really make it jive.

If this code is just a final result of "learn math for 2-3 decades, and spend years learning this specific programming language" -- my statement stands. Interacting with this kinda binary blob as a programming language is impressive. I think I read somewhere that seymour cray's wife knew he was working too hard when he started balancing the checkbook in hex...
I have recently started to watch Star Trek Strange New Worlds and I absolutely love how good it looks. Whereas with the rubber suits of ST:TOS I had to fight disbelief all the time (no offence to a 60 year old show on a budget that had to look believable on a 20 inch b&w analog television).

This won't solve bad writing (hence why I stopped watching Discovery), bad characters, bad acting or a bad setting but I can't follow you at all about it being a problem.
Google et al pour billions annually into making android a first-class and dominant mobile OS. I think the FOSS community should leverage that and focus on liberating Android instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.
If you use the disc lock the storage facility sells, you'll likely

I'm surprised - I'd have expected the facility's locks to be guaranteed to be unacceptable so as to minimize the insurance company's payouts. Insurance agencies already do worse on a daily basis, this level of consumer-hostile bullshit would barely even register.

These field equations I always see presented as the Lagrangian. But I've had trouble locating any presentation of them as field evolution equations (not sure the right term here, but e.g. how Maxwell's equations are typically presented, as partial differential equations with respect to spacetime dimensions). Deriving this form from the Lagrangian seems a daunting and error-prone task. Does anyone know a reference which presents them in this way?
This is some juvenile shit, man.

What did you hope to prove? That I'm right? That songs that I feel a connection to sound terrible to you? An astute reader with some basic emotional intelligence would notice that is the entire point of my comment. Not that 'mouthbreathers on the Internet don't appreciate my art', but that things I 'create' by typing stuff in on a keyboard still manifests this odd connection that is just going to be enhanced as these capabilities increase.

Those songs were something a friend of mine asked for, not the ones I was talking about. Don't worry, I've protected the internet from my poor musical taste.

> To me, the essence of deep learning has nothing to do with trying to mimick biological systems or something in that sense; it’s the observation that if your circuits are continuous, there’s a clear algorithmic way of inverting/optimizing them using backpropagation.

> From the perspective of someone used to algorithms like Dijkstra’s algorithm, quicksort, and so on, this declarative approach of thinking in terms of loss functions and architectures, rather than how the net is actually optimized, sounds very alien. But this is how the whole algorithmic world would look like if P equaled NP! In that world, we’d all program declaratively in Prolog and use some kind of .solve() function at the end that would internally run a fast SAT solver to solve the problem defined by our declarations.
The underlying language isn't really very mathematical, at most there's a bit of linear algebra in the primitives but that's it. You certainly don't need any sort of formal maths education to learn APL. There are about 50 or so new symbols, which is not a big ask, with any sort of focus the majority of the syntax etc can be learned very quickly. The "bugs" in your original code stand out very clearly because things like "∘}" don't make sense, ∘ being "dyadic" (infix).
None of my prior work contracts stipulated not to microwave fish in the break room, or how often I ought to shower; yet "Don't stink up the office" is rule most folk innately know, recognize and respect as part of being a decent colleague.

Ethanol free lead free gasoline works just fine. Some stations sell it. It just costs more because the ethanol is subsidized.

Cars don’t need ethanol. In fact they don’t like it. It causes problems for older cars, the auto industry had to adjust things to be able to survive a certain percent ethanol without damage.

> Or if you vote in someone else's name

To be fair, this isn’t difficult. Voter rolls are public. We usually think of likely voters, but it’s also possible to identify likely non-voters.

But if someone is motivated enough by the scant risk-reward balance of fraudulently voting, they’re not going to be deterred by having to buy a fake ID.
> What’s the big deal?

One, it’s an identity politic issue. Two, these laws don’t prevent voter fraud. And three, we know they suppress turnout among certain populations—plenty of people have expired driver’s licenses and IDs. Collecting the paperwork and paying the fees can be prohibitive. Our Constitution guarantees the vote to every adult citizen, not just those who are organised or can pay the fee.

> You need ID to get a darn library card or to drive a car, get a loan, buy a home … but not to vote?

I never had to show ID to buy my home or get my mortgage.
This looks really cool! Congrats on launching. How does Brisa compare to, say Remix? Can they be used together or are they competing technologies? Can I use Brisa with React code or just Web Components?

The cost of 'quality' is going up and people don't fully realize that they can't afford it anymore because it is being hidden from them.

Put another way: Anything that has benefited from Moore's law or the drop in energy prices (which itself benefits from moore's law)has been deflationary while anything that requires humans in the loop has become inflationary.

Music/Movies: In the future, the common person will have endless amount of AI slop to meet whatever they feel like watching. Sounds like abundance right? Well the rich will have real human actors/singers do performances at their behest and only they can afford it.

Books: This is already happening: AI will provide the answer to any question but people will not have the mental fortitude to derive the solution by learning the first principles manually. Its much easier for AI to provide you the direct answer instead of a breakdown of how it got to the answer and why. That requires enormous mental concentration(ie. learning). As a result they will further be enslaved by the AI and the few wealthy people will have access to humans that can truly teach them anything they want. An AI teacher for all is not the same as a human teacher.

Legitimately curious how APL programmers think about maintainability and readability. Is code just thoroughly commented or otherwise documented?
From the Results section, "...meeting approximately twice the current minimum physical activity guideline level at age 18 years and through follow-up was protective of hypertension incidence." However, what I empirically see is many more young people living online and a sedentary lifestyle. Also, with the rise of popularity of "wonder" weight-loss drugs, there could be less incentive to exercise. I guess, it is going to be difficult to balance these, conflicting, choices.
Google is clamping on that freedom by providing ways to detect when you run unauthorized/liberated software (i.e. root or custom ROM)
Ok fair enough, that extra bit does make it slightly more complicated. Having said that though, I would not be fazed by this, and I don't think many UK drivers would be - because we already deal with many that have more parts. When I was learning to drive, I found a particular triple roundabout quite painful but no longer have any difficulty.

There are two skills you need to pick up to deal with any roundabout system. The first is judgement of how distant other vehicles need to be before you can enter. As a learner I used to irritate the drivers behind me by being far too cautious; on a busy roundabout you can't expect an enormous gap, so you need to know what length of gap the other drivers will expect you to take advantage of. This you can only learn from experience.

The other is to plan your route, because you need to choose your entry lane based on where you want to go. These days your navigation app will probably tell you the best entry lane.
We have enough food to feed something like an extra 1.5 billion people.

Fixing waste and distribution would more than make up for it, and that’s not including the possibility of shifting corn over from ethanol instead if this proves actually useful.
Agreed, with the condition that there is only one lane.

Ones with multiple layers stress me out, there are more ways to screw up and more demands on your defensive-driving attention.
Bamboo straws work well too. But you'd still want the tea to be not too hot. Some quick searching resulted in Sipify straws.
Using a comma after curious is considered a comma splice and is a stylistic choice. Language stylistically evolves over time based on how individuals collectively use it over generations. See [0].

A lot of modern grammar is purely stylistic and each writer can ultimately choose how to incorporate various grammars without impacting the overall meaning of what they're saying. To this point, a colon or dash is actually typically considered more "appropriate" according to modern standards. Your own choice of a comma is indicative of how style varies across practitioners of a language. And I'm not going to argue about your usage of a comma— it's your choice! Your message still gets across.

On the other hand, "whole" and "hole" are two completely different words, with two completely different meanings. The spelling is not just stylistic. It's a semantic issue, not grammatical. I assume from OP's username that English may not be their first language, and so I offered some helpful, non-judgemental feedback on which word is more appropriate.

I then asked a follow-up question with the intention of engaging them in a positive conversation about their experiences as a developer in a third-world country.

You, on the other hand, have responded to me from a judgemental position, attempting to frame me as a hypocrite or someone offering unnecessary judgement. I was being helpful to someone who might not have the same experience with English as you or I. Your comment does not come across as seeking to begin a positive engagement.

As a “builder” it’s quite frustrating to watch MBA chads and PE firms kill engineering cultures for short term profits. But they’re also like cancer for a business - an inevitable outcome of senescence that should create the conditions for a healthy young successor to emerge and consume its resources. The problem is that the tumour has learned to pay off the politicians and remain “alive” much longer than it could in nature.

So now we’re left with a bunch of rotting metastasised zombies building airplanes that automatically nose dive and space craft that leak.
> party buying millions of votes from the undocumented

Voter rolls are public. Undocumented voters being added to the rolls is trivially detectable.

Hell, a separate-the-dumb-from-their-money non-profit idea may be in raising money to repeatedly do this. Because voter fraud conspiracies are like string theory: it can’t be falsified.
This is the best review I have ever read on the Apple Vision Pro.

I'm in the US and don't know anyone with one personally, but I did try one out at the store. Though I was looking at houses on Zillow yesterday and saw one sitting on the desk in one of the shots. I suspect the home owner works for Apple, due to a lot of the other stuff that was also in the room.

I think the price is the main reason few people know anyone with one. VR and new tech aside, how many people do you know who would spend $3,500 on a computer? Of that list, how many people do you know who would spend $3,500 on a secondary computer? I'm the only person I know who would even consider it.
I didn’t actually say it was a problem, although I did have a part clarifying that looking good can only help but I don’t think can be relied on to drive a work very far on its own… I deleted it because I felt I was already well beyond rambling and it was implied in my first sentence.
It’ll go up. You need a foundation to to build things upon. Atheism ain’t it.
Thanks. Very interesting. From the research paper:

> The ARCT-154 study vaccine consists of sa-mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles. The RNA comprises a replicon based upon Venezuela equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) in which RNA coding for the VEEV structural proteins has been replaced with RNA coding for the full-length spike (S) glycoprotein of the SARS-CoV-2 D614G variant.

IIUC the RNA makes copies of itself inside the cell, but it does not get a capsule of proteins to travel and invade other cells. Is this correct?

(A few more details in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRNA_vaccine#Amplification but not enough for my curiosity level.)
What does your voting via provisional ballot have to do with anything?

Here’s the rules for provisional voting. You’ll note that it has to do with whether or not you appear on the voting roll in the location you show up to.

https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/provisiona...

It’s “provisional” because it’s only counted once they verify you’re registered to vote and haven’t already voted.

It’s already the case that you usually don’t need to show voter ID at the polls in CA. This law would prevent every dipshit city council from enacting their own rules, i.e. it keeps things sane. I thought guys like you preferred smaller government and fewer rules?

No idea what you’re going on about with China
I would argue just the opposite. Thinking without doing accomplishes very little. Doing without thinking might accomplish something, or it might be utterly destructive and take 1000x the amount of "doing" (and a lot of thinking) to undo.
"I don't have an ID because I have no job, no bank account, no need to drive or fly anywhere. I am not a parent or guardian, I don't pay taxes, I have no attachments to society... I am basically the most irresponsible person I know, but when it comes to elections, I'm a patriotic citizen and I VOTE!".

Am I straw-manning with this made-up quote ? Who exactly is this law trying to protect. The liberal knee-jerk response regarding election security is "when has that ever happened before?". Do they seriously not know security doesn't work that way.

Enough already! Hand conservatives an olive-branch and unite on election security. Or be complicit in making Jan 6th the new normal.
But who is going to correct or challenge the results after the fact?

> You can take just about any vegetable, add salt and pepper and oil, and shove it in the oven

I eat a lot of vegetables and I want to encourage people to eat them, but I think you’re over-selling it.

You can literally grab a hunk of 80% ground beef, slap it on a hot skillet, smash it, flip it once, and it’s done. Sprinkle a little salt and that’s a very tasty very easy to eat very nutritionally complete food.

Same is true for eggs and a handful of other non-vegan things.

Vegetables are just not the same. I am a pretty lazy cook and still, if I want to cook broccoli I need to get out a cutting board, chop it, throw away the parts that are too tough to eat, then put oil in the hot pan, add the broccoli, turning it several times so it cooks evenly. I’m probably putting a lid on at some point, and/or adding a little water.

It actually requires quite a bit of finesse to end up with broccoli that’s as easy to eat as a burger.

And that’s not a complete meal. You could live off plain burger patties but not plain broccoli. So you’re going to have to add some other stuff: nuts and grains, rice and beans, etc.

And I wouldn’t say any of that is hard but I think we need to be honest about the effort involved. It doesn’t solve anything to pretend it’s easy and then have people give try it and get completely lost.
> Constitution guarantees the vote to every adult citizen, not just those who are organised or can pay the fee.

The constitution also guarantees the right to bear arms, wouldn't requiring ID in that case also suppress certain populations exercise of that right?

We won't know if it's spoiled, or rather how spoiled, it is unless the companies release their training data.

But, in this case we can study in a different way. Use things we are certain are spoiled. That's what the author here does.

But as an ML researcher, I'll let you know that I don't trust a single reasoning paper I've read.

You either have to start with the premise that the thing you're testing is in the training data (and thus spoiled), so you typically look at generalization and how robust it is. You can't prove reasoning this was but you can disprove this way. This also works for theory of mind (which is seems many HN readers failed to read the first paragraph).

The other way is you need to prove that the data isn't in training (for a strong condition you need to prove that it's not even indirectly in the data...). You still can't prove reasoning this way but you would build strong evidence that it is going on (proving reasoning is very tough, if possible). I think if this was shown, consistently, then most of the conversations about LLMs not reasoning would go away and we'd discuss like humans: capable of reasoning, but not necessarily always doing so.

But ML is in an existential crisis right now. Theory means nothing without experimentation but experimentation means nothing without theory. See von Neumann's elephant
