Sounds like the classic Joe Rogan "I know a guy." rumor peddling.
If everyone had two family names, one from mother and one from father, then the two names of child would be chosen one from the two names of the mother and one from the two names of the father. The choice could be random or by preference.

This would match the way how chromosomes are passed from the parents. Neglecting the crossover (whose effect is only that the sequence pairs between which a random choice is made are smaller than the chromosomes), for each pair of chromosomes one is taken from the mother and one from the father. The choice of which of the two chromosomes of the mother and of which of the two chromosomes of the mother are taken, is random.

I believe that this would be a better system for naming people. A random choice of which family name to take from each parent might be preferable, to avoid the reduction in number of the possible family names, if some would be preferred much more often than others.
Thanks!

Yeah, no good comes from taking things personally, or getting offended at things, or arguing about who's getting treated more unfairly. I'm just not my best self today.

Perhaps the most salient reason not to trust his description of the man: he never met Aquinas, nor met anyone who met anyone who met him.

A Pragmatic Overview of Wi-Fi Security Risks – Communications of the ACM
Well phrased analysis of how for broadcast specifically and society in general the current race to “change” government is potentially driving towards an unfortunate outcome for society. I think it’s a very interesting question of how the internet will change how society responds to rapid destabilization. Will it facilitate pushback? Or will it feedback polarization. Interesting times for future historians!
I love how they studiously avoid mentioning Iran in all these studies. There is a gap there between "Greece, Armenia, India and China". Hmm. Is this like the disappearing Persian Gulf syndrome?
Meta Layoff Starts
It's impossible to get contributors for projects they don't use [1]. You need users. Once you get users you will get power users. Once you get power users, they may care and try to contribute.

As I said in a previous post, where are the examples?

Let's ask some questions:

What type of garbage colector? No/Manual? Reference counting? Tracing?

How do I loop 100 times?

Can I add "1"+2 ? The result is "12", 3 or an error?

[1] Except for very specific task, like fixing typos, or changing the GC, or rewriting the custom test method to use Github/codeberg/whatever actions.
I have to be honest— keeping your startup in Europe is, more often than not, a recipe for failure. The regulatory burden, risk aversion, and fragmented markets make scaling nearly impossible.

Even China fosters more innovation these days. Europe feels dead in the water when it comes to innovation, aside from mandating attached water bottle caps...
Exactly. During minor GC, you update the promotion rate of each callsite. If it gets too high, you start allocating things from that callsite directly from the tenured heap, since your statistics are telling you that the things allocated at that callsite are usually going to end up living long enough that you're just wasting time scanning and copying them from the nursery to the tenured heap.

And yes, it assumes that lifetime is correlated pretty well with allocating callsite. Also that the correlation persists over time. The latter part often doesn't hold, so it's helpful to have a mechanism for changing the decision if you're finding a lot of dead stuff in the tenured heap that came from a pretenured callsite. But it's a delicate tradeoff: tracking the allocation sites costs time and memory, and so you might only want to do that for nursery allocations, but then you don't have a way to associate dead tenured objects with their allocation sites in case you need to stop pretenuring... lots of possibilities in the design space.
Sun Wukong
If you’ve ever read the Dragon Ball manga or watched any of the animes, you may see why I’m submitting this.

Little did I know that there was a historical religious background behind the character.

And even though the wiki article only mentions it briefly:

> The character of Son Goku in Dragon Ball is based on Sun Wukong, as attested by his monkey tail, staff, and name (which is simply the Japanese reading of the same name in Chinese: 孫悟空).

The similarities are clear as day. Son Goku transformed into a giant monkey/ape (like a Monkey King of sorts) early on in the story when he had his tail, and his weapon of choice as they note is a fighting stick.

What seems to be a pity about most array languages is that in theory, they would be ideal DSL languages for SIMD and MIMD code exploration, but as far as I understand from ArrayCast guests, most are still interpreters at heart focusing on plain CPU execution.
That's one issue with a two party system: it incentivizes collusion between branches that are supposed to be holding each other in check.
Very nice, thank you, I really like it and had not seen it previously!
I’ve said nothing of the sort. I’m also well aware of the concept of admixture and that dimensionality reduction methods like PCA and MDS with enough samples mirror geography. I also know that the variants contributing the most to the X and Y axes of such analyses are the ones with a high FST, because unsurprisingly prior to a few hundred years ago people didn’t move around that much and were subject to different genetic bottlenecks and selection pressures. And most alleles are rare, so when one is fixed between populations it’s generally informative from an ancestry standpoint even if non-coding.

Your reflexive dismissal of something that’s not only factual but wouldn’t be controversial about any vertebrate except humans is exactly what I was alluding to.
It's not clear if we're talking consistently about the sizes. If 15-20s is referring to a 7800 cartridge that's up to 48kb, that makes sense. This subthread is talking about 2600 games up to 4kb.

Also it's not clear how the console reads cartridges with bankswitching hardware. It can't really know if a cart has that. So it may just have to try all the common schemes on every cart, and read through the entire ROM space multiple times in case anything changed. That would account for the timing.
> I think it’s very irresponsible of you to allow articles about US politics in the front page

There are a couple answers to that. One is that it's not possible not to. We tried once, as an experiment, and it had the counterintuitive effect of making the site more politicized.

The other answer is that a limited amount of political overlap is actually part of optimizing the site for intellectual curiosity. Lots of past explanations at https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... if anyone wants more.
Google DeepMind: Agency Is Frame-Dependent
Thankfully "most" C++ code was written before C++11 (good luck with programs that fully utilize "modern" C++'s constructs and their semantics, because at this point only compilers can reliably manipulate them).
Maybe the rust folks realized that 40 more years and billions of dollars wasted on "we'll get pointers right this time and not leave the same old gaping holes in our new software" left people receptive to new things?

They probably have another good reason to advocate too - 90% of anti-rust sentiment is "Gross, people like using it so much they tell others that they like it".
There is some interesting new working the C4 space at https://likec4.dev/

This is a less prescriptive model than structurizr but keeps the goals of C4
It would be interesting to know how much of this effect is also explained by factors other than income and profession, and even types of work.

I work both as a software developer and a psychologist, and I love tinkering in the shop with welding and mechanics. It is extremely obvious that using AI is more available and appropriate when coding, as you're often in front of a very capable computer with a good interface to interact with. When I am a psychologist, it's not as fitting to bring out a computer and input prompts. And when I'm working in the shop, it's more of a hassle to grab the phone and ask a question.

Types of work and knowledge work, obviously, are ripe for integration with AI tools, but I think the pure ease of use/availability is a major factor. Sometimes two seconds of extra work to do something is the difference between not doing it and doing it.

I'm a heavy user of dictation and voice-assisted features on mobile phones, but it just doesn't cut it when you have to fight with the phone to select text and copy-paste. (The clicking of selected text to copy is so temperamental, and why the hell is the contextual menu so inconsistent after you've selected text still! I selected the text and waited for the tooltip to appear, but it only does so if it feels like it still.)

Anyways, "ease of use for a given profession" vs "Actual usage" is also important, is my point...
[Edit for spelling]
Side note, but some people have such an evident talent for writing that it makes reading about _any_ topic a worthwhile experience. This author, Stefan Kruger, seems to be one of them.

I almost wish this link was to a blog rather than to a book about K, for which I only have a perennial curiosity.

Here's to hoping they consider writing said blog. I notice they have one but it only has 3 posts, all of which are about past Advent of Code puzzles.
A character could be 1 byte long, in which case the language cannot properly handle unicode; it could be 4 bytes long in which care there is lot of wasted space storing text and it cannot properly handle extended grapheme clusters; or a character could be arbitrary length at which point strings no longer have a flat representation in memory. None of these are good. The exact properties of a string can really only be encoded efficiently with a flat linear access data-type.

The most common one might be the diminutive for a pot - potty. Potling or potlet would have been much better in my opinion.
You assume that is all about hard work, self control and iron will. I can assure you that it is not, in many cases. Two days after the first shot I realized that if this is how people feel normally two things are crystal clear. One, obesity can be clearly an illness, or medical condition, that can not be cured by willpower alone. Two, if something is easy as drinking a glass of water for you, you can be a real dick about it without even realizing it if you have no idea how others can experience it
Iteration doesn’t require infinite money and this sort of work more than pays for itself.

The last time I used it, which is probably eight times now, I freed a team up to attack more entrenched tech debt problems by making them no longer afraid of deploying to run trails instead of waiting to do feature toggles once a release cycle.

Every adult programmer should be able to think of four things they can work on when nobody is telling them what to do for the next little while, and Scrum produces a lot of those. This is just one of the things I do. And when you get close to a quantum of useful improvement you can usually get a story or two on the board.

Fixing your processes is an axe sharpening exercise. If you’d rather be dismissive enough to register a complaint then I feel sorry for the teams you work on.
Is this a long way of saying you found someone with root access on the server accidentally typed `rm -rf` ?
> While Claude.ai data contains some non-work conversations, we used a language model to filter this data to only contain conversations relevant to an occupational task, which helps to mitigate this concern.

That's nice. My main prompt has a hint suggesting when I refer to work. I do this so Claude can assume my tech-stack. Of course I exclude or mask confidential data, but it's still nice this stuff gets filtered.
> just return to their normal appetites.

Yeah, the same one that made them obese... if their normal appetite was fine they wouldn't have a problem to begin with

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35441470/

> One year after withdrawal of once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg and lifestyle intervention, participants regained two-thirds of their prior weight loss

> Findings confirm the chronicity of obesity and suggest ongoing treatment is required to maintain improvements in weight and health.

You need a complete change of mindset, of routine, of relationship with food, of relationship with your body. If you keep everything the same as soon as you stop the treatment it's game over. And if you manage to change all of these things you don't need the treatment to begin with. We treated my father in law, by explaining him about calories, exercise, &c. He lost 40kg in a few years and will never gain them back, because he isn't relying on any magic pills.

Check reddit, it's full of people stopping ozempic and telling how they gained it all back and couldn't stop

> My Endo halved my dose recently and I gained 10lbs in about 3 weeks on a half dose despite no changes in my food intake.

I don't know what to tell you. It's racism, whether or not he's a white man or an Indian woman. If racism is "par for the course" then guess what, it's still racism.

> If the things he says about ${identity_group} are bad then so are the same things being said by people in high places about the aforementioned so a sizeable fraction of 'progressives'

Please, point to the spot where the progressives are being racist. Are you going to accuse Democrats of being racist against Krasnodar Krai for supporting Ukraine in their racist and illegal defense of Russian homeland? Accuse them of hating Palestinians more than Trump?

Or no, you're going to cherry pick racist Buzzfeed columnists who are (somehow) an analog for an appointed government employee with privileged access to private data.
Things are so far gone at this point I'm perfectly willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater on this one.
Yeah I've done that on a few euro airlines. It's definitely faster to load, but usually you have to take a bus to the plane, which adds a lot of time and hassle that you don't have with a gate. I still really think that the double ended gate is probably the lowest hanging fruit in terms of speeding up air travel. The only reason I can think of that we don't have it is that you can pay more to be at the front of the plane, so a lot of the benefit goes to the lowest paying passengers. I would still think that this would improve the turn around time for the airplane so that the airline could get more utilization, but perhaps loading/unloading is not the critical path anymore in turning around the airplane.
Uh... no. It's an abandonment of any kind of strategy at all. You can be completely opposed to realpolitik and still believe in what USAID is doing (or the other things the Trump administration is getting rid of, like funding the WHO or other international efforts). For instance, an idealist would support USAID work to promote democratic institutions and conflict resolution.

It's not like they're saying "in the past we've played chess using only king's pawn openings and now we're going to switch to using queen's pawns openings", it's "we don't like this game so we're going to kick over the table and stomp off".
My own health saga taught me that there is a lot of bad medicine based on gender. A lot of doctors see something like "90% of fibromyalgia diagnosis are female" and internalize that as "men don't get fibromyalgia" even though clearly 10% of them did.
Your base model is good then
I can prove LLMs can reason. You cannot prove LLMs can't reason. This is easily demonstrable. LLMs failing to reason is not proof LLMs can't reason, it's just proof that an LLM didn't reason for that prompt.

All I have to do is show you one prompt with a correct answer that cannot be arrived at with pattern matching and the prompt can only be arrived at through reasoning. One. You have to demonstrate this for EVERY prompt if you want to prove LLMs can't reason.

Lego Executive will negotiate the deal. Very clever. This is basically just expanding the current Lego Land to 100% of CA.
I believe fish shell solves this by inserting a visible "⏎" character at the end of the line and moving to the beginning of the next line for the prompt.
Then I'll come up with a prompt such that the answer can only be arrived at via reasoning. I only have to demonstrate this once to prove LLMs CAN reason.
Many people think that in the futuristic year 2025, the "system" of doctors and professionals and tests will be monitoring your body and health, keeping you healthy. It is nothing of the sort and possibly never will be.

We can improve healthcare systems, sure. But everyone needs to take personal responsibility for their own health. What is daily life-altering pain for a patient is just a JIRA ticket to a health care provider. No one is more incentivized than you to dig in and fix it.
Obesity side effects are nasty as fuck too, yet here we are.
Could someone list the relevant papers on parrot vs. non-parrot? I would love to read more about this.

I generally lean toward the "parrot" perspective (mostly to avoid getting called an idiot by smarter people). But every now and then, an LLM surprises me.

I've been designing a moderately complex auto-battler game for a few months, with detailed design docs and working code. Until recently, I used agents to simulate players, and the game seemed well-balanced. But when I playtested it myself, it wasn’t fun—mainly due to poor pacing.

I go back to my LLM chat and just say, "I play tested the game, but there's a big problem - do you see it?" And, the LLM writes back, "The pacing is bad - here are the top 5 things you need to change and how to change it." And, it lists a bunch of things, I change the code, and playtest it again. And, it became fun.

How did it know that pacing was the core issue, despite thousands of lines of code and dozens of design pages?
This is my (mostly uninformed) belief. Living in Asia, I learned that what I thought of as full in the US is stuffed. There, I would eat a tasty meal at a reasonable pace, and get up feeling neutral to full. Here, I eat in kind of a ravenous rush in which I overeat before I realize it.

My guess is that it's the amount of sugar, salt, and fat in Western food.
The Unix universe obviously.
The USA need to weaken the power of the executive. Remove the executive order power. Remove the pardon power.

And I'd even recommend that the individual president position be replaced by a group of people each of which gets voted in on different years. The monarch-like persona does not belong in a democracy.
The whole point of Rust was to take developments in programming language theory from 20 years ago or so and make them practical for widespread use. Practically nothing Rust does is new, because "new" stuff means that the overall implications of that language feature have yet to be figured out. Which is bad if you want to keep your language elegant and easy to learn.
Not what people are asking for. What you're ruling out is the equivalent of expecting cryostasis subscribers to sue if there's ever a service interruption.

Conventional business models as currently implemented are fundamentally misaligned to the timescales associated with this product category. Products like these need a level of stability that can only be accomplished at the charter level of the corporation -- it needs to be fundamentally incapable of reneging on promises made.

Without that kind of reassurance, why should anyone trust this service with their links? The exchange is incredibly unequal. They receive full, permanent control of the content, access, and monetization of all things which I cite. I receive... a promise that my links will do what they already do, but maybe last longer.
It is not a link shortener, it is an archive tool. I thought the same thing when I first saw the headline. Their description is really bad and confusing.
The argument of "just go send a robot", seems antithetical to life. The point of underwater settlements, looks to be an accomplishment for mankind, stretching the boundaries of what's possible. It's not that robots can't be used, but maybe more like how far can humans go.
Swimming and biking, especially indoor, are super easy on the body and unless you're fat enough to qualify for the 1930s world biggest man on earth it should be doable.
If you want to go looking,

grep '[^s]kin$' /usr/share/dict/words

turns up a lot. You have to guess at the candidates, like:

pipkin -- a little earthenware pot
firkin -- a small cask
dodkin -- a coin of little value
ciderkin -- watered-down cider
How does shutting down a hospital allow a PE firm to "cash out"? Let's see some actual numbers on that, not vague claims about tax write-offs. Sometimes PE firms take on too much debt as part of acquiring a hospital and paying out a special dividend to shareholders. But if the hospital later fails due to being unable to make debt payments then the PE firm takes a loss on their remaining equity stake; they would always prefer to keep it running as a going concern so that they can sell it for an additional profit later.

There is a legitimate issue with concentrated ownership of provider organizations in some regions. More antitrust enforcement is needed to protect consumers but unfortunately that seems unlikely.
Rust has a steep initial learning curve followed by a plateau of enlightenment.

The language has a lot of corners though -- not so much messy edge cases like C++ but just emergent complexity from its sophisticated grammar and type system.

As with all such languages: you do not have to make use of all language features everywhere, and in fact you should not.
