I'm not really qualified to talk on a technical level about the matter, but besides the distaste some people have for Aether Theories, there are other reasons some scientists don't like PWT, especially as it's demonstrated by the behaviour of oil droplets.

The physical, conceptual differences between any quantities describing droplets on one side and the wave function on the other side are clear. The former are observable – you may actually measure what the shape of the droplet looks like; you can't measure the wave function by any apparatus, at least not in a single repetition of the experiment. The former has an objective interpretation; the latter has a probabilistic interpretation, and so on. The wave function just encodes all the probability distributions for actual observables – but the wave function isn't and can't be one of them.

Dylan is a lisp with readable syntax.
Yes, the article does quote the physicist saying that. Physicists do say things like that, without adding caveats like "assuming the Copenhagen interpretation, which is the plurality opinion and my de-facto working theory day to day".

But the article didn't include it in the title, and I think that was the right choice. And HN usually tries to keep the original title.
OK, I listened to this so that others don't have to (junto, good Buzzfeed impression, but please don't do it again). Allegedly (note: I haven't checked any of these figures, but I have tried to be a bit clearer about units):

Typical natural background radiation: 2mSv/year.

CT scan (one-off): 7mSv.

Total extra radiation (over a lifetime) for people around Fukushima: 10mSv.

US radiation workers' limit: 50mSv/year.

Astronauts on ISS: 160mSv/year.

Average smoker: 160mSv/year.

In summary, for an app with an bug. You must know a) input that causes to bug to show up, b) input that doesnt cause an error. Then it will look for similar code in github, and try inserting the checks done from that code into the new code. And then it reruns the program, hoping that the bug is resolved.

This approach is very cool, and harnesses the power of lots of developer. But its also very limited. However thats what research is for. Small steps together are a big leap for mankind :p

I also like this conlusion in the article:

"""
In recent years the increasing scope and volume of software development
efforts has produced a broad range of systems with similar or
overlapping goals. Together, these systems capture the knowledge
and labor of many developers. But each individual system largely
reflects the effort of a single team and, like essentially all software
systems, still contains errors.
We present a new and, to the best of our knowledge, the first,
technique for automatically transferring code between systems to
eliminate errors. The system that implements this technique, CP,
makes it possible to automatically harness the combined efforts of
multiple potentially independent development efforts to improve
them all regardless of the relationships that may or may not exist
across development organizations. In the long run we hope this
research will inspire other techniques that identify and combine the
best aspects of multiple systems. The ideal result will be significantly
more reliable and functional software systems that better serve the
needs of our society.

Your comments about modern air-to-air missiles may be correct, but in 1968, the beyond-visual-range (BVR) engagement was more of a bomber general's fantasy than a reality. Kill probability of the AIM-7 Sparrow missile in those days was less than 10% [1].

Pilots' accounts of air combat in Vietnam routinely mention the firing of a salvo of missiles --rather than just one-- when a firing solution presented itself, due to the notorious unreliability of missiles.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-7_Sparrow
where I can apply it ? i mean, what would be a usefull usage for the lib?
It's hard to know these thing unless someone tries it, but probably not.

Air defences are difficult to overwhelm. Gaza/Hamas recently tried to overwhelm Israeli missile defence with primitive rockets with very no success. The rockets were very primitive but had the advantage of a short range, which is harder to defend against. OTOH, the intercepting missiles cost orders of magnitude more than the offensive rockets, so it might be possible to drain the ammunition supply.

"loiter over an enemy airspace" is only possible if you already have aerial control.

Overall, armies are conservative. It's dangerous to try and build a strategy around fighting styles that have never been tried at scale.

It's probably worth researching though.
I wonder how the F-35 performs against other current generation fighters like the Eurofighter or Saab Gripen. And considering the costs, it would need to be several times better, which I doubt. I suspect both aircraft could out-manoeuvre it.

But then the F-35 is supposed to be stealthy so might be able to attack from a distance with relative impunity.
As for web apps, I would already be happy if you only needed two languages (client / server, roughly) instead of five-ish.

And yes, lots of Java programs accessing a DB, slapping a front end on it that lets people enter / request stuff in the browser are prime auto-generation suspects.
Note that this library is currently only providing server functionality, and doesn't do certificate validation (in fact it appears to not do any of the X.509 parts of SSL/TLS). It's certainly interesting, but one of the reasons it's so small is that it's missing critical functionality for many use cases.

I'll counter that ASR does improve the efficiency. The biggest player in Medical Transcription is Nuance. It's main product is a ASR! The MT industry has moved on from all human process in the last decade. The ASR accuracy in MT is currently around 90%. The rest of the work is done by human editors.

Our goal with ASR is not replace the typists, but to assist them. On an average typing takes 4X the duration of actual time. An 80% accurate ASR may reduce it to 2X, which in turn should translate to faster turnaround and improved throughput.
Of course. I used that assumption because it was also implicit in the original claim. If we don't have any idea what the top-level rules are, then claiming quantum mechanics is an optimization artifact falls a bit flat.

If the top-level rules are classical-ish, then quantum mechanics is expensive instead of cheap. If the top-level rules are quantum-ish, then that begs the question of why we thought quantum implied simulated. If the top-level rules are totally different... then there's not really much to be concluded.

Meditation is not necessarily an act of sitting in a serene place with your eyes closed.

That is already what most programmers do. The hard part of the job of most programmers is to understand the requirements and think of a good solution. The actual implementation is very rarely the problem and mostly has been done thousands of times. Most of the time frameworks, libraries and blueprints exist that you can use to implement the solution. There are excel-like tools that give these capabilities to non-programmers but they just will not succeed on a larger scale, because they do not tackle the actual problem I described above.

Changing the oil in your car is not hard, but most of the people will not do it themselves, not because they cannot, but because they do not want to. Contrary to the hype, programmers are not rockstars, ninjas or the chosen ones.

I got out of London and escaped to Canada.

As the author notes one of the worst things about London is the way so many drink the cool aid.

For me The Daily Mash really sums it up best:

http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/london-property-m...

> Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute for Studies said: “Buying a place in London is a bit like organising a wedding – everything is absurdly expensive and not what you really want, but you just have to suck it up because it’s all so bloody brilliant.”
If your account is part of Google Apps for Education, or some other managed Google Apps account, you should contact your Google Apps admin. If it's just a normal Google account, I'm not sure there's much more that you can do.

Email is the most sought after account. All the password reset requests to your Bank, Twitter, Facebook, etc. are delivered to your email account. So when someone steals your email account, they've stolen all the others too. Go change those accounts to use your new email (if you can).
Really? A mortgage repayment £3200 implies a mortgage amount of £800,000.

Most people I know don't have houses costing that much, even in London.

You dramatically misunderstand VPC.
Everybody on AWS today uses VPC, unless you happened to be grandfathered in to EC2 'classic'.
There is NO COST to using VPC (aside from admin over head maybe?). It's a huge security upgrade, as it gives you the ability to isolate things much better.

The specifics of HIPAA/HITECH compliance on AWS are available under their BAA (which is confidential), and do require some things that cost more money. VPC is not one of them.

If you have only a quarter rack of servers and want the minimum s for physical security, yeah, you can probably make that work cheaper than AWS. When you have a whole datacenter worth of gear and now need a more sophisticated security / entry system, etc. the argument becomes much closer.

With that said, you misunderstanding how VPC works and what it is makes me wonder if your pricing is coming out right: it's really complicated to price out a full AWS cost, just as much as to price out your own costs.

That is why we cannot achieve perfection.
Writing up a rough sketch of a program is what much of programming amounts to these days - calling black-box APIs, packaging up data and pushing it around, etc. So far, this has only helped the field grow.

Maybe in the limit, the building blocks will all be standardized in the perfect balance of abstraction, security and efficiency. I doubt it but even so, people will still keep rearranging the blocks into novel systems to solve (or create) new problems. It will be a different face of programming, but probably not as different as the gulf between punch cards and dragging WebBrowserControls onto FancyPanels.

One issue with the XCTestExpectation note is that you can't wait for something if you don't know exactly how long it will take. Hard-coding in a timeout, essentially, can make your tests very brittle. Take, for instance, testing loading content from a local web server.

Ideally your UI should be decoupled enough form your web server that you can mock it. That way you only have to wait for animation delays, and your tests don't fail if your server is down.

That is if mocks fit in your testing philosophy, of course, but I think this is a place were the advantage of this approach is quite clear. And this clearly doesn't work for end-to-end tests, but those are inherently brittle.
The one EU nation that has to buy the F-35B is the UK. Because we're building a couple of supercarriers without catapults, so they've got to field STOVL planes, and the government scrapped the Harrier fleet (the USMC bought the entire lot, gleefully) to prevent backsliding.

Notable complicating factor: Rolls Royce builds the lift fan for the F-35B. So panicky late attempts to cram cats into the CVs were cancelled after 3 months, because pork.

Meanwhile, the Eurofighter Typhoon was originally intended to be a carrier-capable fighter with an arrester hook and beefed up undercarriage, until France flounced from the consortium and went it alone with Rafale. An upgraded Rafale or a Typhoon derivative with carrier ops baked in would be entirely possible, cheaper than the F-35B, and vastly more effective as a fighter.
