I have read before that some people apply for remote jobs using other people's credentials that they have collected from publicly available sources like home-pages, etc.

I think much of that really depends on what kind of company/department you worked for, like I'd guess it does now. Apart from that, there were more constraints from limited hardware that forced you to get creative and come up with

Certainly! I remember being quite annoyed when I started encountering editors/IDEs, that would not let me type light-on-dark!

Good, that's much less surprising than the opposite finding would have been. It indicates that these fish leverage a mixed strategy, which is an evolutionary advantage more often than not, both in terms of direct payoff and in terms of

Not to speak of Nim's ORC, which is automatic memory management, but arguably not garbage collection. Instead it's, roughly, automatic reference counting with cycle detection. The stopping times are absolutely minuscule!

I think in the RC flying community there's a saying like "Anything can fly, with enough thrust". Safely landing, otoh, now that's a feat!

I thought that at least some ZKPs rely on responses to one or a set of specific challenge(s) randomly chosen by the interrogator. So, as long as the challenge space is big enough, it seems unlikely that you can easily collect enough respons

Wow, I didn't even know about this. It's a cool project!

Agree with others, black banner appropriate.

Yep, RISC is really a KISS CPU, paired with the attempt to draw the maximal advantage from the potential strengths of the underlying concept. And it turned out pretty nicely imho.

Right, the earlier the general public is confronted with these technologies, the better!

>It the field of computing, it probably helps that we speak the same language Then again, I think working through untranslated English material for my computer hobby helped me gain language proficiency more quickly than many peers.

Btw, here's an example of how even a very simple zero-shot/prompt-engineering attempt to introduce a bit of system 2 reasoning into a language model can improve results. https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.11903

Shouldn't be a problem, because along with the law you can also hand down what it is supposed to achieve, and how.

And no wonder, as they correspond much closer to a Kahneman system 1 than system 2, where we do most of our math.

According to the article, 222nm would already be stopped by the thin coat of dead cells on the skin. So it shouldn't penetrate far enough to cause any trouble.

Well, but privately held lighthouses did exist before govt stepped in, to the surprise of some economists who claimed they shouldn't have.

I don't now how it started, but I'm sure it doesn't help that you edited all your posts to complain about it. Quoting from the HN guidelines [1]: "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any

After reading the complete post, I rather think it is fraud.

I clicked this thing on the front page just to leave this precise remark (minus reference to the 100 prisoners). As you already did that, it seems my only sensible option is to voice my agreement.

What is a VM but an intermediate portability layer? That's what VMs are made for, to be able to run the same VM code on different machines or different OSs without having to recompile. You don't use the OS's APIs directly f

Native, quite reasonably, means the application is compiled to the CPU's native machine code. Take as an example the distinction between Java and native apps on Android.

It's actually fiat money that makes it possible to escalate conflicts to such a disastrous level in the first place. If you're on a gold standard and your war chest starts to run out, you must either find a wealthy lender (hard),

It used to be that Addison-Wesley was the unrivaled king of CS publishing. If you saw the AW logo on the cover, you knew it was gonna be a rock solid book. Sadly, at some point they seem to have slacked off on their standards a bit, and now

Is this the moment in the conversation where someone steps in to commend Fred Brooks and David Parnas?

You mean mentioning someone's qualifications in order to inform a conversation, like you just did here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32781073 ? Jennifer Widom has a PhD in computer science from Cornell, btw. I d
