Looks like Rust is the "good" solution for all of these?

Those are examples of why it is so incredible. To have it in your notes application as seamlessly as Roam does it is a game changer for notes.

Right, this sentence made it unclear to me whether they only used the popularity features to compute past-performance, or whether they included past-performance in addition to other popularity features. To your question, other work on succe

Did I miss something or does this project include popularity measures as features ? In the section on dataset features, they include "popularity" (calculated by Spotify) as well as Billboard chart stats like weeks, rank, and a cu

I would like to see more on the zeta distribution aspect of this, but it doesn't appear anywhere obvious in this repo.

I was just thinking that something similar to this would be really interesting for reading/peer-reviewing scientific papers. Scientific knowledge is built atop of claims made in previous papers, each claim having its own statistical st

Totally agree, this is just about employing affirmative action, how, and why. And yes, I get the criticism but I haven't heard anything convincing as of yet. The only baffling thing to me is that its critics believe that pure meritocra

This blog post is good evidence of the quality of thought that exists on the political left, and revives my belief that the left will eventually win the misguided attacks on “political correctness” culture. The comment section reinforces th

Interesting! I figured the `as` in a `with` statement was handled uniquely, but I learned something new about Python today: x = open('filename') x.closed # False with x: print(x.readline()) x.closed # True

In my opinion, you're one of the most entertaining and approachable writers on mathematical topics like QC. How did you get good at writing?

This is really vague. Javascript is necessary for building rich web applications. What are the uninteresting problems you see as Javascript's main purpose?

I wouldn't have checked this out if I knew it would burn a Medium article access for me.

Normally I would agree with you completely, indeed AI is (very) far from perfect. However, I think we're hung up on the home property example. As Vitalik suggests, this proposal works a lot better in situations where the underlying pro

Recall there are two goals: - allocative efficiency (property belongs to whomever can derive most value from it) - investment efficiency (people have incentives to invest in property, build Gigafactories, etc) If I understand, your argumen

I think the property/personal home example is hard to defend. Consider industrial property, such as a factory or warehouse. The most reasonable application of self-assessed tax would be to any property that can be valued on purely econ

Vitalik acknowledges your point: "... people are not experts at property valuation, and would have to spend a significant amount of time and mental effort figuring out what self-assessed value to put for their house, and they would com

Part of the introduction really reminds me of Nassim Taleb's Antifragile. "As artificial agents enter the human world, the demand that we be able to understand them is growing louder." "Let us stop and ask: what does it

That's a great point, and the nature of the firm is something worth thinking about especially in this context. However, the "firm" structure creates lots of efficiencies. Individual contracts are costly to enforce and having

Hopefully someone can expand on these comments since I'm not an expert, but I know a little. D-Wave [1] is shipping quantum computers with thousands of qubits. The difference seems to be that D-Wave qubits are not generalized qubits, b

React is a conceptual framework which lays out how UIs are specified and how they behave (via the component model). Then when it comes to rendering the UI, the React framework allows several rendering targets (the classic one is React-DOM

I think what throwawaysocks is saying is that your refutation doesn't really add value to the discussion. I agree with you, that my clone's consciousness is not my own consciousness, but what are the deeper implications? Particula

by glifchits 11y ago
I agree with pretty much all that you're saying (I like the hosted scripts idea a lot). However, I can't help but wonder whether HN should care about all this. Does the lack of these features (which, I argue, is about convenience)

by glifchits 11y ago
It would be kinda nice if this was built into HN, but I also kind of like how minimal HN is. Maybe the best solution is to centralize all of the myriad extensions that people have made for HN, so that anyone can easily find the features the

This memory waste argument is only true if you want to fetch all rows, which you could possibly avoid with different techniques. Otherwise, a dictionary seems like a very simple, convenient, Pythonic, and intuitive representation of a row.
