How to easily write an SSA based compiler
> There's a difference between knowing the answer is exactly 40 and knowing only that you've computed a few hundred decimal places after 40 and so far they're all zero, maybe the next one won't be.

I would guess that if you pulled in a random sample of 2000 users of pocket calculators and surveyed their use cases you would find a grand total of 0 of them in which the cost function evaluated on a hundredth-decimal place error is at all meaningful.

In other words, no, that difference is not meaningful to a user of a pocket calculator.
Well, no-one can decide your priorities for you, but this is a path you want to be sure you want to follow, as your life options narrow more quickly than you might imagine.

I did not watch one YouTube video or spend 20 minutes on this or create with GPT.

This is also a part 1 of the article and I clearly asked what was missing.
Does it matter that some numbers are inexpressible (i.e., cannot be computed)?

I don't think it matters on a practical level--it's not like the cure for cancer is embedded in an inexpressible number (because the cure to cancer has to be a computable number, otherwise, we couldn't actually cure cancer).

But does it matter from a theoretical/math perspective? Are there some theorems or proofs that we cannot access because of inexpressible numbers?

A "weaker" version of this is to ask your driver personal questions. Obviously stop if they make it really clear they don't want to talk at all, but there's a psychology about talking to strangers you know you won't see again that lets many people open up in ways they wouldn't in maybe any other circumstances. I've

- Seen more baby and kid-milestone photos than I can count.

- Been told a brutal war story by a tow-truck driver in Kentucky ("did you know blood from the liver is almost black?") that - though he didn't say it, explicitly - I don't think he'd ever talked about to anyone.

- Heard about someone's life's-work in AIDS prevention.

- Learned about the Philippine Civil War from a former airforce Colonel. (Highlight: he and his best friend / roommate in the military academy chose different sides. They privately promised each other that they'd find a way to communicate if their units were ever ordered to attack the other.)

- Heard first-hand about the horrifying obstacles the US government placed in the paths of Afghani translators (for the US Army) trying to immigrate to safety in the US.

- Met a Singaporean former mercenary, who told me all about doing private security for illegal gold mines in New Guinea. He was very matter of fact (and entirely unrepentant) about having indiscriminately shot local villagers and government forces. Several of his buddies were killed by bow and arrow in an attack during which he cut and ran ("their families are still mad at me"). It was all a madcap adventure, as far as he was concerned, and then he showed me pictures of his boat.

Looking at that list, I guess don't do it if you don't want to be trauma-dumped, but I'm quite socially awkward, so you don't have to let that stop you. Most people don't seem to care - they have stories they want to tell, and will tell them, if you'll listen.

After a year-long experiment, my professor's experiment at training AI on horse races found that it could fairly accurately predict podium winners - it hyperfixated on red shirts. Happened that a rather famous jockey usually wore a red shirt. Him being in a race was a good indicator that he'd win it.

America could draft new agreements, or failing that join the EU even. But apparently Americans are on their isolationism kick so I don't think they're coming to the table with much leverage that Europeans want.

Plus, the way America fights against common-sense regulation absolutely deserves discrimination abroad. I say that as a taxpaying American too - bring our businesses to heel or have them removed from Europe entirely.
Low cost compared to what? California and New York? That’s also true of many states where finance and tech companies have smaller offices.

We were married to the same person, except I did everything, including her laundry, and the divorce was very much not amicable.

That said: my ex-wife is a narcissistic and introverted human who does not appropriately interact with any other human, including her children; she views relationships as transactional (i.e., what’s in it for her).

While I am beyond damaged from my 25 year relationship with her and all of the insanely hurtful things she did to my emotional and mental well-being as well as my financial stability being she gets an absurd amount of alimony and all of the money she stole from the family over the years, particularly in preparation for divorce, my children need to see what a healthy relationship looks like and by focusing on them as the central point of my being, they may have that opportunity should I find someone else.

You are looking at it from a child and self-protectionist point of view and I’m looking at it from a healing one. They both have merit, but I just wanted to point out that living without a partner isn’t necessarily the only option post-divorce.
The parent was making the argument that the 'drive to find truth', or 'knowledge' should out way petty material concerns. Implying that paying PhD's less is a-ok because they work for a higher purpose.

No, the democrats lost because their fundamental offering was conservatism but they didn't own it, but rather let their latent expectation for progress be filled in with perfunctory and performative identity politics.

The republicans stepped in with their simplistic answers to complex problems (effectively "kill the patient to cure the cancer"), that the party had been courting to generate grassroots energy for decades before it escaped their control.

If we had had more occurrences of Luigi-accountability over the past several years, we could have likely released enough frustration, had societal conversations about real reforming concessions, and ever-increasingly-squeezed people might not have fallen for the siren song of a fascist strongman. Alas.

Whether or not it's a good strategy for either companies or the government, this particular case involved randomly firing a bunch of folks who build and maintain nuclear weapons and then almost immediately trying to un-fire them. There wasn't enough time to see if anything broke (not that you'd see that with nuclear weapons until it was way, way too late) but now you've managed to piss off a bunch of people who are likely only going to come back long enough to find a new job, if they come back at all, and you've probably also damaged your ability to retain even the people you didn't fire or attract new prospective employees. It's basically all damage with zero value and it certainly isn't going to fix any performance management problems.

I think it's a questionable strategy anyways, especially when applied to government, but carrying out the strategy in such a ham-fisted way seems unlikely to be the secret to making it successful.
You're moving the goalposts. People did not, in fact, vote for DOGE.

That’s unfortunate. Philosophy changed my life in an indescribably positive way. I don’t agree with or get value from all philosophy or philosophers, but it’s essentially a foundation of my life now. If I had a think of a familiar parallel, it’s not unlike religion to me. I study it, write about it, practice it, think about it often, and so on.

Something I found helpful was finding schools of thought which emphasized putting the thinking to work as actions in the real world. Some philosophers argue that philosophy is useless or harmful if it isn’t manifested in action, and I agree with that. Reading a lot of philosophy without implementing change in your life isn’t a good use of time. It sounds like you might have encountered the kind of people who do that.

Philosophy should enrich your life and even change you in ways you didn’t think were possible. It should open your mind and teach you about yourself, people, and society.

The worst kind of philosophy and philosophers are those which bring ego and overconfidence to the practice. But there’s so much out there which isn’t like that, and so many people who aren’t as well.
No, they don't. Most people don't seem to get beyond 1st order thinking. At best, it's cause and effect - 3rd/4th/5th order effects are just not computable. If X then Y is the best they can manage.
Yes, and it makes the implication that it was because of this she wasn’t more famous. It seems more likely that her ideas just weren’t that great.

Another great example is later in the article, where pregnancy is held to refute Cartesian skepticism. Somehow, we are expected to accept that a strong feeling something is true is the same thing as something being true. I am not a Cartesian by any means, but obviously Descartes anticipated this line of argument: this sort of thing is taken care of by his “evil demon” interfering with our feelings and sense perceptions. Even more broadly, we don’t accept this style of argument in general: the testimony of those who have experienced God on acid trips is not taken as confirmation of his existence.

The subject of the article just doesn’t seem to have said much novel or interesting, but the author seems insistent that she deserved more attention anyway, and the only explanation is some sort of deliberate oppression as with the BBC example for malicious reasons. (Which itself is overstated: they would have disdained Nietzsche saying the same thing.)

I would not take the time to add my little voice to the ones that express their exasperation with rust, if not for the scornfull tone of your message.

We all know that rust has a lot of merits, in that it is trying to establish a different, ambitious new trade off wrt. safety ganranties vs expressive power, and as a result is one a the few serious contender to replace C++ in the very areas where C++ is king, trading just a bit of performance for a vastly more sane language and better static garanties.

But it is also fair to acknowledge that more often than not, in the many "old_thing but in rust" that are being posted on HN, the old_thing at hand does not actually fall in that very important but also very small subset of programs that can not tolerate automatic memory management.

In other words, rust was not the good choice from a technical stand point.

Maybe it's particularly obvious to me because I have tried to promote rust before it became cool? At that time my coleagues could only tolerate Python or Go. These days the same people probably program in rust (or are at least considering it), and that's not because rust improved that much, or because they have sudenly learned to use the right tool for the job.

>We have become alienated from the environment we evolved in.

Before we start painting with all the colors of the wind too much in this thread, this is not entirely a bad thing. We are removed from stressors such as 'being eaten by large predators' and 'dying of infections from wounds'. There is a lot of 'nature' that out ancestors would be quite happy to be 'alienated' from.
Except it was the family that refused to release the autopsy report, and their own lawyer disputes the claim.

"Ramarao later told The Standard that the secondary autopsy proved her son was shot in the back of the head from an angle at which he could not have shot himself, and that it was “cold-blooded murder.” At the time, the family declined to provide a copy of the autopsy, and Goethals [the family attorney] disputed Ramarao’s claim, saying he “would not characterize it as conclusively proving murder.”"
GCC, at least, allows you to get stack usage (after compilation), and caller-callee relationships (-fstack-usage, -fcallgraph-info, etc). From this one can infer maximum stack size. It will not work with recursion or function pointers, unless one manually incorporated additional data.

setjmp() and longjmp(), are a poor way of handling exceptions, as any cleanup code won't be executed. Of course, following the spirit of these rules, one would not have resources that need cleaning up but still.

The main issue, that is never mentioned, because it will be different in each application, is what to do when something goes wrong. Say an iteration limit is exceeded, or the fixed resources allocated at startup are not enough.
Finding women to have sex with is fairly easy, finding women who are willing to be equal partners is very hard.

Ah, the old “should a random shuffle repeat songs” debate. Haven’t thought about that in years.

I’m with you in that I think shuffle should be a single list of all songs, played in a random order. But that requires maintaining state, detecting additions and updating the list, etc.

Years ago, a friend was adamant that shuffle should mean picking a random song from the list each time, without state, and if that means the same song plays five times in a row, well, that’s what random means.

There's a point at which you're really building a computer algebra system.

Or you can do what the Windows 11 calculator does and not even get 1+2*3 right.
The US is extremely dependent on trade because the US needs the USD to be the currency of trade and reserve to sustain its debt and deficits, without which GDP would drop precipitously.

The US isn't far less dependent, China is at 37% GDP from trade to the US's 27% but doesn't have the structural dependency on trade from having the reserve currency.

This reminds me of a guy I met many years ago who told me he was taking a class to learn how to debate people and break every argument by abusing logic. It turned out he was talking a philosophy class, haha. I can’t imagine how the teacher structured it, but somehow that was his takeaway. Maybe from the Socratic method, I guess.
The dropping birth rate is neutral, a thing that is happening like the orbit of the Earth, or a rain storm. Every population’s growth curve levels out, and so will ours. Why? Who knows, and it’s an interesting topic to investigate. But understanding something interesting doesn’t mean that we can change it.

Society will adapt. There are positives to work from. For example the horizon for every exhaustible consumable recedes as population growth slows.

It’s the difference between that and the speed-running community’s “anything goes, we’ll just classify it” rules that people find are finding interesting.
