Good question, perhaps its best to start with what I mean by algabreic intelligence, then the contrast will be more clear. Algabreic intelligence uses the simple idea of equality to produce numerical unknowns from the known via standard mechanistic operations. So algabreic intelligence is mechanistic, operational, deductive, and quntitative. In contrast, geometric intelligence is concerned with the higher level abstract concepts of congruity, scale.

To return to my previous analogy, algabreic intelligence is wing flapping while geometric intelligence is the shape of the wing. The former is arduous time consuming and energy inefficient while the latter is effortless, and unreasonably effective.

It definitely is. Besides that, Drax doesn't only run on waste products (that's what they'd like to make us believe), they mostly run on freshly logged timber.

Most of it, imported from the US:

And even if it only was waste that's burned, it's IMHO incredibly stupid. We should be happy about every single gram of CO2 that's stored somewhere and use this "waste" for building insulation, paper production, soil revitalization or simply bury it.

Burning simply shouldn't happen when we have way better, cheaper, more efficient, more environmentally friendly methods of producing heat and electricity.

They're pretty much exactly the same thing. IIRC the difference is that CBOR specifies how to handle custom types slightly more verbosely.
Animation quality has always been a question of budget and motivation: the shortcuts (still or partially still images, reuse of cels and whole sequences, lower frame rate and systematically repeated frames, less effort at designing intermediate poses and timing them well, badly drawn interpolations between key frames...) are always the same and always available, with modest impact from technological advances (e.g. badly drawn interpolation done by a neural network or by an IK simulation instead of an inexpensive, overworked and unskilled artist).

Crap quality is typical of cheap TV productions, e.g. Hanna-Barbera and some anime in the seventies and eighties.
The key point is that your code takes as input ‘probas’, a 3x14 table with probabilities of independent events. From this, you assume the structure of the space by multiplying result of 14 events. Here, you can apply the trick of grouping negative probabilities. In fact, some of these calculations can be done only once, as many points share the same multiplication path. This is what I implemented in my SHN_BOXES function.

The issue is that our problem isn’t exactly like that. I haven’t gone into too much detail, but you should be able to create a function that takes a pre-built space as input and sums over it, even if you don’t know how the space was built or whether it was constructed with random values.

For details on why this is the case:

Step 1.1: First, calculate, based on a table 3x14 like ‘probas’, which represents how many people have bet on event j for match i, the number of winners in each category if a certain prediction occurs (I assume homogeneity here). This is also a Hamming neighborhood sum, but you can use the boxes algorithm (~1 sec).

Step 1.2: The prizes depend (inversely) on the number of winners. So, apply a formula like this to the previous space:
bet_price * coefficients / (winners + bet_price / revenue)

Where 'winners' are the values calculated in 1.1, and the rest are inputs:
REVENUE = 1000000.0
PRICE = 0.75
COEFFICIENTS = [0.16, 0.075, 0.075, 0.075, 0.09] //percentaje of revenue correspondy to each category follow game rules

Step 1.3: Now we have the prizes for each prediction. To calculate the value of betting on a specific prediction, we need to do a sum product of the prizes corresponding to that bet (distance <= 4), each multiplied by its probability. So, we multiply the results from the previous formula by the probability of occurrence (using another table similar to ‘probas’). So it only least make the summation.

Step 2: Now that the space is constructed, we need to sum Hamming neighbors, and this is where there’s no shortcut that I know of. You have to assume the space contains randomly generated values. This is the computational bottleneck, and this is where the algorithm I mentioned applies. In fact, as you can see, it doesn’t only go to one space but five, one for each category. So, the sum shouldn’t go to r <= x but should sum the neighbors exactly at x in the corresponding space.

These will die if Firefox dies as well. Its a dire situation!

Sorry, but that's crazy exaggeration. Calling snooping "violation of human rights of literally billions of human beings" just because "privacy" gets a mention in the UNDHR doesn't make it as bad as anything Russia and China have done lately. And that's not even touching upon what "privacy" would mean that that declaration.

CSRF wouldn't work as easily if CORS (or, more precisely, the single origin policy that CORS allows you to circumvent in controlled ways) weren't there. And both cookies and TLS also rely entirely on domains being a meaningful security boundary.

Without the SOP, evil.com could simply use JS to read the pages from bank.com, get a valid CSRF token, and then ask the browser to send a request to bank.com using its own CSRF token and the user's cookie. This maybe could be circumvented by tying the cookie and the original CSRF token together, but there might be other ways around that. Plus, if the browser wasn't enforcing the SOP, then the different tabs might just be able to read each other's variables, since that is a feature today for multiple tabs accessing the same origin.
The Busy Bever numbers may be finite, but the machine (specifically its tape) that produces them is not. If the Busy Bever is running on a Turing machine with a finite tape length the number becomes computable.

Turning it around, the answer to "can a machine of infinite size do things a finite computer can't" is "yes". That answer ends up being the reason many things aren't computable, including the halting problem.

The halting problem is a trick in disguise. The trick is: no one said the program you are checking halts had to have finite code, or finite storage. Once you see the trick the halting problem looses a lot of its mystique.
> The problem comes when you start to think about how there's a very finite amount of physical space.

It's not finite in a practical sense, especially if you are a space faring civilization. Certain space is treasured and in demand, but space usage overall comes down to how well you can utilize it (how tall your buildings can be), and how you access it. And in Star Trek, they have transporter, allowing people to live everywhere and still visiting most places casually for breakfast.

Even today, humankind on earth is not going out of space. Instead, we have problems with finding places which are easier to utilize for the majority, or which are popular for cultural reasons. But the first one is no problem in Star Trek, and the second one seems to have reached a peaceful solution.

> Questions like who decided that he should have that property for his restaurant vs anyone else who wanted to do something with it just never come up.

Who decides today that someone should have a certain space? And I'm not talking about money, welfare-projects exists today too. Every society has their organization, why should this different just because they have no money by our understanding?

And why do you think it's a privilege for Sisko to open a restaurant that others have not? I would think everyone can open a restaurant if they wish, but they simply do not wish to do this if they have no monetary stress doing it. At the end, a restaurant is hard work, not everyone is willing to put up with this.

But storage has gotten so cheap that even with the install sizes that browsers have grown to you can have multiple alternatives installed without breaking a sweat.
Ultra rich execs are out of touch sure, but equally so, middle aged people with houses, families, long commutes to the suburbs are out of touch with younger people who might've relocated to a city for their first / second job out of university, don't have social networks of friends and family nearby, and desperately need to be in the same office as older experienced staff to learn from them. They also don't have space or even privacy to work from home every day in a shared flat.

Remote working also doesn't suit some people at all, and their productivity went of the cliff during COVID and the big shift to remote / hybrid. If you don't see, socialise and really get to know your colleagues multiple times a week it's really hard for some people to see them as real people and care about how the job they're doing (or slacking off) affects others.

A lot of the reasons why scaling is necessary come down to reducing marginal costs and maximising profitability. Those are different equations to sustainability.

For example, a big part of an industrial farm's "efficiency" is down to reduction of labour costs and optimisation of logistics, but the actual environmental resource usage does not scale along the same curve.
Many years ago, I have lost valuable data stored on Sony QIC magnetic tapes (QIC = quarter-inch cartridge), because those magnetic tape cartridges contained a rubber belt that was used to move the magnetic tape inside the cartridges, when they were inserted in a tape drive.

After many years of storage, the rubber belts had become fragile and any attempt to move the magnetic tape turned the belts into dust, making the cartridge unreadable.

The LTO magnetic tape cartridges used today are much more robust, because the cartridge is simpler and it hopefully no longer includes any parts that are susceptible to rapid aging.

At that time, i.e. 30-40 years ago, rubber belts were used because they ensured in a simple mechanical way a constant moving speed for the magnetic tape. Later, the electronic alternatives for ensuring a constant tape speed by varying the speed of an electric motor have become cheap enough to eliminate the need for such belts.
This is grossly misogynistic and insulting. It's the same old idea that women "just want to settle down and find a nice man" dressed up with some graphs. The author has even managed to make it about men in the end.
> Do you have your own personal garden?

Yes, every season I grow ~20kg of vegetables on a 15m^2 balcony (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, celery, various herbs). They are grown vertically on a trellis system, using 11 liter hydroponic "bato" buckets and recycled/reused perlite (sterilized). Nothing fancy.

The main energy input is the chemical fertilizer. Electricity to run pumps/valves etc is very minimal and probably amounts to 5-6 KWh over the season. I use synthetic fertilizers but avoid insecticides/fungicides, instead opting to use biocontrols (shout out to Koppert! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFPkAQUfYvo).

The future of agriculture (excluding cereal crops, which I dream might be replaced by synthetic starches one day) probably looks something similar to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_pR_HihCVo
I don’t see the issue. Videos like the one on Helios is one of the reasons I subscribe to his channel. I want to learn more about companies doing ground breaking innovation. Of course such a video has some PR aspects to it. Everyone knows that a company granting such access wants something out of it. This is almost high school level media literacy. You should take such videos with a heavy dose of healthy scepticism, but it’s still very interesting to watch.

And if he gets some money out of it which he can use to help fund production of some high quality videos on historical engineering topics now and then, that’s just a win-win IMO.

I am taking a deep dive into inequality thanks to Gary Stevenson. He has a lot of educational videos on his channel. Highly recommended.

Here's how I would sum up his main argument: Ordinary people have less money and can no longer afford to buy property. Governments have less money, infrastructure everywhere is eroding. So where does all the wealth go? The only possible answer is to the very rich, who are doing better than ever, while everyone else is down financially.

To be clear, this is not about the entrepreneur who made a couple million bucks and has three houses. It's about the top 0.1 % who are sucking everyone else dry, permanently: The poor, the middle class, and the government.

We need to do something to reverse this trend. And soon.
I saw a documentary about some long running geothermal projects and basically the temperature in the well cooled down and made it uneconomical. They said they would have to wait, I think, 30 years for it to heat up again.
Why not at least 9? Or 5?

I think it would be best to focus on the deterrent effect for the future: we need a law that makes this business strategy not viable. Not on punishing bad behavior that already happened. Maybe such law already exists, but we need more enforcement. Or a better thought out law.

I don't think it's important if _that_ person gets jail time. I would not particularly rejoice at the news. But if somehow this practice was made impossible or impractical, I'd

if they can't produce wealth then why fought so hard to defend this land???
The type of inequality being discussed is very different from 'keeping up with the Jones' that you are discussing.

Historically, one of the major turning points in the cycles of society/governments is when there is massive inequitable distribution of wealth such that the masses are left to divvy up a tiny piece of the pie while the top .05% hoard 80+% of the wealth. IMO we are currently seeing the wealthiest people on earth taking over the levers of the US government and it is unlikely we will ever return to the constitutional democracy we used to have. Moving forward Elon Musk and the other members of his Gothic MAGA will decide how much the government can spend each year and on what and for whose benefit.

A very, very different scenario than being envious of the sports car in your neighbor's driveway.

Ask HN: How to make a good impression shadowing a senior dev for an afternoon
Last week I had a really nice interview for a potential job as a junior full stack developer at company x. This interview was with two upper management individuals, I don't think they're following the typical recruiter - technical interview etc. route. They've now invited me to shadow their senior dev for an afternoon this week, to see "if their tech inspires me and what I think I could best work on (they've got a bit of a broad range of products)".

Now, I assume this afternoon is also very much to gauge if I actually know a thing or two about development. I have a little experience in full stack development at a previous company, but I was still doing my degree part-time during work hours, so it doesn't count for much. I don't work there anymore because of multiple reasons that aren't relevant and am now looking to get back in the field. So, basically: I'm a junior dev with a little work experience (potentially) going into a new job where they are hiring for somebody with 1-2 years of experience. Before, I worked in a Python (Django)/React stack and the company I'm interviewing for has a Java/React stack. What I'm worried about:

- I've never worked with Java, so I probably can't really read the code very well. How do I try to follow along and still gain an understanding and possibly be able to ask questions.

- Because I'm still a junior I know I can't grasp large complex codebases super quickly, so I'm a little afraid I'll get overwhelmed if he shows me a lot. Same question as above.

What I want to know:

- What are some good ways to prepare for an afternoon like this?

- What general questions can I ask to solidify my understanding of their tech and also make a good impression.

- Do I try to bring up in conversation my own work/projects I've done, to show the developer I have experience?

Of course I have my own ideas of how to approach this, but I wanted to leave it open to get a wide variety of suggestions.

Thanks!

It's not about me parsing or creating a str. It's about the 100 dependencies every rust project has which might hand me a str that wasn't parsed safely.

I can avoid UB in my own C++ code too, the fact that the language has UB is a reason I even look at other options from time to time. To find UB in such a fundamental part of safe Rust was truly a surpise to me.

It feels like they could have very easily just made it a byte slice and said it's up yo you to validate, instead they decided it has to be valid UTF-8 or it's UB.
If microsoft wanted to spend the money required to maintain a browser on their own they wouldn't have moved to Chromium in the first place - the entire point of Edge vs. IE was that they gave that up.
> I wrote an MP implementation specifically for this use case

Perhaps I missed that, can't recall. Will definitely try (again) tho, looks very promising.

As for parsing JSON, the upside is that's its trivial to debug over serial, both viewing and sending, and in my case I could assume limited shenanigans and fail hard if there were issues.
Show HN: A tool that makes sense of Reddit and YouTube product reviews
I got tired of spending hours digging through Reddit threads and YouTube comments when trying to figure out if a product was worth buying. So I built a thing.

It's basically an AI-powered scraper that pulls reviews from Reddit and YouTube, then structures all that messy data into something actually useful - pros, cons, sentiment analysis, and an overall "should you buy this?" recommendation. Built it with FastAPI, Next.js and PostgreSQL, all wrapped up in Docker.

Looking back, I probably should've just made it a simple CLI tool instead of a whole web app. Would've saved me a lot of time...

Still rough around the edges, but the core works. Code’s on GitHub if you want to tinker
