TFA responds to exactly this: the state that accumulated in those 3-5 years is what cannot be thrown away.

Number of iterations solved correctly, on a very large set of iterations, seems like a very good metric. Better than anything else because it measures what we actually care about, not some proxy. The only caveat is that it's the same m

Children being cared for solely by their parents isn't "natural": children used to be raised by entire villages

I don't know the mechanics! Just the observation that memories recalled many times tend to change more. It kind of makes sense in that we do not retain the raw information, it's always interpreted, and it needs to be updated to be

That is, it's bad that these situations happen and that's why they should be regulated away when possible. But if you can't personally change the status quo, the next best thing is to accept the game and respond in kind.

> And, if you don't agree with the terms, you shouldn't click "I Agree." Nah, it's perfectly reasonable to click it if you know you're being transparently lied to in a way that won't hold up in court.

In the rest of the civilized world adults are expected to have common sense and be truthful when it comes to formal transactions.

As long as we're in copyright world, it ought to be structured as three separate parties: 1. Licensor, the company who makes the game. 2. Licensee, the person buying a digital copy of the game. 3. Safekeeper, Steam or another platform

It doesn't require that everyone switch at the same time, unlike other VCSs.

Yes, my objection is to the use of "market forces", which are widely assumed to favor efficiency. What we're talking about is, pedantically, something else, something like "capital allocation game theory". A differe

You can write and calculate much faster with a typewriter and a calculator than you would do the same by hand, and you can use both even if you don't know handwriting or the algorithm for calculating logarithms by hand.

That's not too different for crediting e.g. a typewriter as the tool used to author the text. That is, not ridiculous, but not new.

You could ship code without understanding it, it just needs to be treated as throwaway, unreliable and potentially malicious. This is OK for some tasks, e.g. best-effort scraping of a frequently updated website that's actively hostile

Infinite growth isn't a myth in general, the world economy does grow over time and for obvious reasons. But of course this doesn't necessarily translate to individual companies growing at the same rate all the time.

Right. So these are all examples of market forces being irrelevant. This isn't the market showing that culture doesn't matter: when the winner is predetermined, culture or anything else couldn't _possibly_ matter, as long as

These off topic complaints about capitalism are pointless and exhausting and make HN a worse place.

Even microcontrollers would merely require custom compilations that turn off features. There are no technical reasons for having more than one codebase, only economical and coordination-related.

Does it let you manually keep track of the parts you've actually seen? Instead of using the granularity provided by the PR author?

In terms relevant for this thread, jujutsu is a git CLI with much better UX and support for change IDs. Most history editing operations become trivial. Code review and PR management should be a much thinner layer if implemented on top of ju

Separately, do I understand the idea correctly: - when learning on the real examples, just propagate forward - when learning on the fake examples, first generate them by propagating white noise backward

I'm curious if there is an explanation for it not being more common to sleep like dolphins do, small parts of the brain at a time.

Interesting comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49264602 > IMO the much more likely explanation is that the brain uses contrastive learning somewhere. [...] Instead of using calculus and outer products to calcu

Cleaning happening during sleep doesn't mean it's the main purpose. It could be merely a convenient time for doing the majority of it.
