We lose nuance by only usign maximalist statements. Take these rather typical intro-phrases:

We find [strongest result]

Our findings strongly indicate [likely result]

Our findings suggest/indicate [result that needs more research]

The way I and many other people read papers is that we read method and appendix last, good writing can give you hints at those things without needlessly bloating the paper. The nuance also makes me trust the authors more, as it indicates humbleness and diligence

I'm getting the distinct impression that handwriting human language may be beyond the basic capabilities of the Modern Human.

Seems to be memory and basic cognitive difficulties such as "sorting" whatever that means when actually buying the stuff in the store. I've been buying stuff in stores constantly for 50 years and I'm very fast, without aid.

But boy howdy these devices sound like just the tool for people with actual cognitive difficulties; we should make definitely sure that they have them. Might be a problem though on the data entry side.

So the question is then whether writing "snees" instead of "sneeze" is like writing sneeze in pinyin (or in "注音"), or not.
Isn't that "winning on average" mindset the motivation for JIT compilers and optimization? Compile once, instrument the code the recompile again with more targeted optimization? Granted that's only something available to Java/C# and not C++.
This is a really cool comparison, thank you for sharing!

Beyond performance, Rust also brings a high level of portability and these examples show just how versatile a pice of code can be. Even beyond the server, running this on iOS or Android is also straightforward.

Rust is definitely a happy path.

You are trying to force the definition of evolution to be "speciation-by-random-mutation" and not a single credible person will tell you that's how it works. Because it's not. It would be like me asking you to show me a leprechaun to prove Ireland exists.

I’d love to see a ‘micropayments’ model. Instead of a monthly subscription, you pay a fair price based on usage. So instead of however much a month for Netflix, you pay maybe a fraction of a dollar to watch a movie. Or to listen to a song on Spotify, you pay a fraction of a penny. Maybe I’d be happy to pay WSJ a few cents to read this article if it were a quick and painless user experience.

With this I don’t have to juggle subscriptions and pay for something I don’t use. Companies could set the rates at a level that would generate the same amount of revenue.

The whole point of mass transit is it's not a car, so comparing it to driving is apples and oranges.

I completely disagree with this. The point of mass transit is to move people from one place to another. I routinely compare driving, trains, planes, buses, and ride shares. They all have pros and cons and it really depends on the trip.

Replying to both of you, I'm a little bit less scared about this "not having any money or food" scenario, presumably, if we have such incredibly sufficient machines at our disposal, I can't imagine they would have trouble being used for farming etc.

It's more the philosophical side that concerns me.

I don't really worry about this being a billionaires only club either. We've seen it already with AI products, there is just an abundance of competition and open source competition already available. It will be the same with robotics.

Also scary, is military robots gone rogue. Definitely not a fun prospect.

I'm personally really into surfing and skiing, honestly, if some how the robots kind of let me spend more time fishing, surfing and skiing, I'm pretty cool with all of that, I know a lot of people who don't have these passions though and work is a strong reason for their existence.

> Have you ever been there and met the uniform mass persons?

I was born in Eastern Europe in a society headed in this direction. I observed its transformation after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

You felt the overarching power of the state from as early as the kindergarten. Signs of individuality were suppressed and all children were supposed to do things "the right way". When such an institution decided that a child "systematically misbehaves", it was able to take the child away from its parents in another orphanage-like institution that was supposed to teach them good socialist manners. Eventually some of them would end up seriously harassed, physically-ill and sent to an anonymous grave in the backyard of that institution.

>We’re pretty limited when it comes to care. In any given moment, you can only really care deeply and individually for one person.

Absolutely. Society tends to assume that people are interchangeable units and that 'care' is a commodity which can be dispensed evenly as if from an industrial nozzle in a food factory. So we have 'care homes', 'daycare', 'care packages'. We are enjoined to be more 'caring'.

But the reality is that love, which is what we're really talking about, is dyadic.

i.e. between two individuals. That's how it works and how it effects its magic.

A patchwork of dyadic connections is what we may hope for and build.

I much rather have no 10x engineer on my team, but instead engineers who do just a bit more than the bare minimum.

For example, who don't just test their single use case, but check if it breaks anything around it. Or who invest just a tiny bit more time to actually write down what their bug analysis has yielded. Or who update the documentation after an interface change. Or who write solution designs to think about the approach, before hacking some ugly mess. Or who check with the PO or user if the chosen approach/design is what they expected. Or who ...

In my experience having devs who do more than the bare minimum is way more productive for most day-to-day business. Maybe there's room for a powerhouse in cases, where you have to drastically restructure a code base and quickly create some PoC.
> The written language is almost orthogonal to the spoken one.

I'm almost certain that this is true of Chinese script (after all, it was and is used for writing many languages!), but it might not be deducible based on this sort of experience.

I say thus because I had a very similar experience after I had to spend a month in the UAE. Thanks to frequent bilingual signs, I started recognizing common Arabic words, but I had no idea what the words are in Arabic or how to say them. But as far as I know, written Arabic is not at all orthogonal to spoken Arabic, every word is written exactly as it sounds.
They became big because those companies paid for tech evangelism. People got excited and adopted, which in turn created more evangelists (unpaid) for those frameworks.

Compare them to HTMX that only has unpaid evangelists, each time it is brought up on HN, people compare it to React because of the strong base around React, creates a lens of how people see the world. Even though HTMX is a completely different framework with different intents.

Expressed differently: they tried to abolish the family, found that doing so created more problems then they solved, and backed off in order to avoid tearing their country apart.

They discovered that in some things doing nothing is better than doing something, but Westerners of all political stripes (both for or against authoritarianism) chronically make the mistake of assuming that everything that a totalitarian state does is done with some grand plan in mind rather than them just flailing about to find a centralized policy that kinda-sorta works.

Your comment reminds me a lot of modern speculation about China's grand plans. Sometimes a government chooses not to touch something because they learned from bad experience that they'll break it if they do, not because they're playing 4D chess manipulating it behind the scenes.
And you still only get 59% of the way to the correct pronunciation.

As a non native speaker of English, and a native speaker of a phonetic language, I strongly object to the notion that it's easy to guess English word pronunciation by just reading it.
The comment comes from reading the article, then wondering how can societies make things scale? We make things scale by delegating our concerns to people who know and care more about specific outcomes, and helping them to make the differences that are required. Scale comes from people learning that things around them matter and that they are responsible for making them good.
A distribution is not a function. It is a continuous linear functional on a space of functions.

Functions define distributions, but not all distributions are defined that way, like the Dirac delta or integration over a subset.
Also I heard many smart people in NOAA left between 2016 and 2020 to go private and funding cuts. I would not be surprise many in NOAA are looking to leave now.

I'd prefer a higher quality source than a youtube video, and once again, I don't put much stake in an anecdote. It's possible to have a starch-heavy low quality diet even with lower amounts of processed foods. Carnivore is an elimination diet; it has one food, meat. One could opt to survive on nothing but potatoes but that doesn't make it a balanced diet. Meat by itself provides a broader range of nutrients, so the proper comparison would be with e.g. a composition like the mediterranean diet. To date the benefits of including whole foods are thoroughly documented; extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

"argument from silence" is a funny way to say there's no evidence.

We aren't talking about installing a single light that we pump all of the world's energy into, making it ever brighter as we drive the cost/benefit further and further into the realm of diminishing returns. We are talking about scaling a few common "good enough for X activity" lighting setups across billions of installations, and that process is very linear.
My Python skills are pretty limited, so it's likely I am missing what's obvious, but I don't understand what the purpose of this library is. "Modeling financial instruments" is vague; is it for backtesting? Calculating option pay-offs? Tracking portfolio P&L? Risk management? Is there an example of what you would use it for?

I can see the Portfolio class, but it somewhat confusingly uses "Trades" to describe more complex positions (I had assumed a Trade was selling or buying an instrument), and the instruments included are fairly limited. I don't see any bonds, currencies, interest rates, swaps, and others but it looks like an early work in progress, so that's fine. Is it meant to be a generic toolkit to cover the vast majority of financial instruments? I don't understand how characteristics of the instruments are calculated/updated or aggregated into Portfolios.

Some sample code/projects would help me immensely in understanding! (Again, I blame my lack of Python skills).

My apologies for the basic questions!

Before the industrial revolution, even though money existed, "wealth" really meant "land" rather than "capital".

While we do not today need to ask how people can afford robot lawnmowers despite being unable to find work hitching ploughs to draft horses or oxen, the fears at the time of things like this did lead to mobs smashing looms.

If I have some (n) robots that can do any task a human could do, one such task must have been "make this specific robot"*. If those n can make 2n robots before they break, and it takes 9 months to do so, and the mass of your initial set of n is 100 kg, they fully disassemble the moon in roughly 52 years. Also you can give (94.2 billion * n) robots to each human currently alive.

Asking "who can afford it" at that point is like some member of the species Kenyanthropus platyops asking how many knapped flints one must gather in order to exchange for a transatlantic flight from London to Miami, and how anyone might be able to collect them if we've all stopped knapping flint due to the invention of steel:

The economics are too alien, we cannot imagine this kind of thing accurately on the basis of anything we have available with which to anchor our expectations.

TLDR: I thought it would be for sites that are heavy on charts, searches, or other forms of data analysis, but it isn't. Clance also is planning on moving to Postgres.

----

I don't really "get" this. A lot of the comments here are focused on SQLite, but the page clearly says:

> Clace currently runs on a single node. When multi-node support is added later, the plan is to use a shared Postgres database instead of using local SQLite for metadata and file data storage.

Let's start with some basics:

1: What problem is Clance trying to solve? (IE, did the authors encounter problems hosting / generating static sites, and Clance is designed to solve a specific problem they had?)

2: Why can't Clance be multi-node today? (What potential problems would happen if I had multiple Clance nodes pointed to the same database, or github repo?)

Naively, I thought Clance wasn't serving truly static sites; IE, I thought Clance would be serving sites that allow querying static / infrequently changing data. I thought it would be for sites that are heavy on charts, searches, or other forms of data analysis.
I hang out on a lot of car forums and the constant complaint I see is people essentially want a 2004 Honda Civic - cheap & reliable. New car prices today are simply out of reach for most people, and most of the people who are "buying" these cars are actually leasing them. Few people can afford to buy a new car.

Today's cars come loaded with all kinds of features that can go awry: smart driving, smart parking, object detection, driving modes - all sorts of nonsense that nobody asked for. Even motorcycles are now picking up all this nonsense and now cost what a new Civic cost just 10-15 years ago. It's insane. The one feature I hear people saying is a nice development is backup cameras. People like backup cameras.

I'm not an industry insider or anything like that, I just listen to what car enthusiasts are saying. They want simple, reliable, cheap transportation without a bunch of technology to go bonkers on them.

My argument is, that care is a public good. There will never be a situation in which care can fund itself. To fund care is a political decision and when the decision is made to to not fund it or leave to a market or private enterprises it will fail, because private enterprises need something which will eventually scale.
