Which is a hilarious fact in itself.

A common refrain among non religious people is that religion is false, self contradictory, or something similar.

And yet the large overlap between these people and anti-racists cannot face the evidence that evolution applies to humans, and that genetic differences can have measurable effects. This becomes a core tenent of their (un)beliefs, that somehow we are all equal in construction, AND that evolution is real. Two completely incompatible beliefs (or concepts, if you can't stand such a word).

Prevalence of the MAOA gene is quite interesting indeed.

To expand upon that a bit, one deeply held belief is that Racism is wrong, not just morally but factually, that we are all exactly equal in nature. That our only differences come from nurture.
The other belief (or "non-skeptically accepted prospect") is that humanity has evolved, first from africa, then in disparate populations spread over the entire land area of the earth, being subject to many varied natural environments and thus selections. Such natural selections MUST select for different traits, often wildly different. Such traits cannot be contained to "skin color only" a meaningless, arbitrary restriction.
There's been a dispute over that for a long time, they're often called Homo sapiens neanderthalensis. (Modern humans then being Homo Sapiens Sapiens, which seems somewhat vain, calling ourselves "wise wise man")

This is great. It really showcases zig's dedication to quality, IMO.
I wish they took the time to communicate the intricacies of their toolchain.

Some things I think are remarkable:

Contrary to Rust, zig allows to cross-compile to MacOS. I think this implies that zig needed to build a custom linker!

Regarding libc:

- On Linux libc is not required because zig is using syscalls directly
- On MacOS libc is required because of the lack of stable abi
- On Windows libc is not required because zig links to windows kernel dll.

To my understanding, this implies that a compiled zig program will work across all linux distributions!

For C integration, I'm not knowledgeable enough to fully appreciate the work being done.
but the fact that the cross-compiling also works out-of-box is mind-blowing to me.
I'd take Peggy over "Gretchen", which is similarly a nickname for Margaret ("-gret" / Greta + "-chen", the German diminutive suffix, thus meaning "little Margaret").

It might work in German, but to the English ear it sounds horrible for a little girl's name.

Depends on how you define "family name".

In the most pragmatic sense, as in "what should you put in the family name field in legal contexts", then "Guðmundsdóttir" is her family name

E.g. her passport will have that value under "Surname".

And if she found herself in Iceland, in any paper where Björk would write down "Guðmundsdóttir", Taylor Swift would write "Swift", not "Scottsdóttir".
To, the term 'monetization' is associated with all shady practices, except for selling the game. I can't recall the last time I heard or saw someone mention it in a that sounded positive to me.

I personally never thought academic papers were about the author. They might have turned into an ego game, but I always assumed that the goal of academic writing was to effectively communicate complex ideas and research findings to the reader. If not, then it's no wonder our voices are the first ones the public ignores in a time of crisis.

AIUI, SPARK does not use a Rust-like borrow checker: it's based on formal verification which is a lot more difficult to program for, i.e. not really feasible except for smaller programs. This seems to be in sharp contrast to Rust - the safe subset of Rust enforces a set of rules that can actually scale up to larger programs while still preserving safety.

Not transferable? In the context of the most widely-used server operating system? I have transferred Unix skills for decades, from one job and project to the next. Even Windows can run a Linux subsystem now.

Having learned Unix/Linux and many of the tools myself I challenge the "requires years and years of time investment to become proficient." You missed that the knowledge and skills grow incrementally, so while you get to proficiency your skills constantly improve at the same time. You don't have to stop everything, study Unix for years, and then go back to doing something "productive" once you've memorized it all.

Unix has one file format: plain text. The tools all compose around that. You can of course find exceptions -- you can't express everything in plain text -- but you can get remarkably far with simple single-purpose tools redirecting their output to the input of another tool.

The core tools have more consistency than you give them credit for, describing them as hundreds of DSLs. They all have man pages, they more or less follow the same conventions with I/O and flag names. Plenty of exceptions, sure, but no more than you find in any large legacy system that has grown and adapted over time.
You see this in Spanish a lot too. Diaz is son of Diego, which is still a common enough name. But there seem to be many more examples where the corresponding name is now rather uncommon from what I can tell. I am thinking of examples such as Menendez, Ortiz, Juarez, and Ordonez.
Not the OP, but everything requires tons of case sensitive typing. It's easier to just write python script instead of typing this

(curl http://localhost:5555/log | grep -o -E "2025[0-9-]+")

(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://localhost:5555/log" -UseBasicParsing).Content | Select-String -Pattern "2025[0-9-]+" -AllMatches | ForEach-Object { $_.Matches.Value }

or this (ps ax | grep ffmpeg)

Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.ProcessName -match "ffmpeg" }

Maybe it's good for scripting (why not python then?) but really sucks when you need to get things done in terminal.

That is not how things work. Females are the main drive to reproduction and decide demographic trends in societies where they are not oppressed(also, diagnosed autism levels in minority grpups is higher compared to classical white populations - make from it what you want, but I will avoid comments for this here). And female autism works differently than male autism and a lot of that does not show up, because less females would be diagnosed for the very simple reason that diagnosis is not a disease but how well a person can function in society and females differ from males in that as they are doing better than males. We do not exaclty know variable for amount of females, that have "autistic" genes, but they seems to be main drive to spread autism and very successful at that, regardless how diagnosed male autists are multiplying less. Also, people seem to have wrong idea about how genes spread - it takes SINGLE successful case to spread dominant and successful genes over the next generations.

The main issue that people are thinking of autists, that they are somewhat different from other people - even on biological level and it does not help, that among autistic people there arte those that think in the levels of "autistic nation", because genetically we are even less different to other humans than a lab rat to other rats. And like I mentioned before, spread of succesful autistic genes is irrevelant of the number of direct descendants that person produces, and with genes you can't assume, that they are only present to those that have diagnosis.
I don't think this is fair at all. I can definitely go and install Flask (or even Bottle) right now and make a web server with 1 or about 4 dependencies, all well-vetted, and start creating web applications and APIs. They're both ways to create web applications, and for the author's use case, which isn't a load of custom CSS, offline-first, can-be-a-mobile-app-as-well, many-people-need-to-work-on-this-codebase-at-once, it is a real problem for NodeJS applications.

I find it helpful. If it's a program that generally supports single dash options only, having it respond to --help will falsely make me believe that it's one that expects double dash options.

Letting me know that the proper way to ask for help is `-help` also communicates that GNU style double dash long opts is not the way to go with this particular program.

Then I suppose you could argue that GNU style double dash options should be supported. Meh, I dunno. They were the ones that invented the fifteenth standard (xkcd/927).

Go GC's stop the world pauses are essentially synchronization barriers at the start and end of a GC phase. That pause length is a function of the number of worker threads, not the size of the heap. You can check this yourself by running the tile38 and cockroachdb benchmarks with GODEBUG=gctrace=1 .

I wrote a research paper on a novel use (or so I thought) of Linear Programming for how to optimize selection of cloud resources. The feedback I received was that application of LP in a newish area is not publishable and does not cover new ground. So don't write research papers about a new application of LP. It still covers the known and common cases of LP. No new ground to cover here.

Knowing that and thinking about it more a couple years later, what the author seems to be describing is akin to BDD approach to LP model generation as an intermediary language before you get to the actual LP model. In this case, that approach is overshadowed by the use of LLMs.

Use of LLMs to generate English language is no longer novel nor new. Therefore, any application of LLMs that do that aren't novel either.

An incorrect argument list should concisely tell me what is wrong with the argument list, and that I can use --help to explain the whole thing. I don't want to scroll up 20 pages to fix a typo - assuming the program even printed a specific error before it printed 20 pages of help.

Or it could have killed it on the vine because the syntax was too esoteric and would have pushed the target demographic away before they even tried it. It's hard to test the counter factual in this case.

A common topic of conversation in the rust project is the concept of "weirdness budget": the idea that you can only be so different from what your expected userbase already knows before you become too hard to learn. I don't think you could introduce the borrow checker on a language like Erlang if you're aiming at systems programming. But now you could make a language that is slightly more weird (introducing other features) than Rust when targeting existing Rust programmers.

I feel that stepping as far back as you do here will kill any meaningful discussion.

"There is no single metric" translates pretty much into "there is no objective meaning of life that can be proven".

In most discussions certain things are implied about shared values. E.g., fascism is bad and democracy good (plenty of people seem to disagree with this these days, but much written discussion, e.g. on HN, assume shared values anyway).

I heard a story yesterday from someone who's job involves dynamite. He had a vocational student tag along for a couple of weeks that would constantly stare at his phone and not pay any attention, causing some dangerous or at least inconvenient situations.

If you step enough back, who can say it is "bad" to get yourself blown up to pieces because you are too TikTok addicted to look around you? In everyday language we assume enough shared values to say this is "bad" though.
Wouldn't it be -sen, not -son, if it was Danish or Norwegian? And -sson (double S) if Swedish.

Maybe by binding the idea of smartness with the ability to think beyond the given and possibly not blindly obey exogenous rules. Of course smartness is a relatively independent parameter from ethics.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not, but the practical upshot of this new "Public Benefit Corporation" thing, with or without a trust or non-profit attached, is that you can tell both the public and your investors to fuck off. The reason why all the big AI startups suddenly want to use it is because they can. Normally no sane investor would actually invest in such a structure, but right now the fear that you might be left out of the race for humanity's "last invention" is so acute that they do it anyway. But if Dario Amodei actually cared about humanity any more than Sam Altman, that would be the surprise of the year to me.

Yeah, price performance definitely seems to be the more important metric here. Anyone can get more compute by building a bigger and more expensive chip, but per-dollar metrics can't be gamed so easily. Though even in that plot, it's only doubled every ~2.3 years since 2008.

(I'd be especially interested in amortized price performance, i.e., the number of useful computations from a system over its lifetime, divided by the total cost to build, maintain, and operate it. That's going to be the ultimate constraint on what you can do with a given amount of funding.)
