Definition. Let X be a programming language and Y <= X a sublanguage of X. An X to Y transpiler is a compiler with source language X and target language Y.
In the language of model theory, a transpiler expands the explicit definitions of the symbols in L^+ \ L, for a L^+ sentence, when every symbol of L^+ \ L has an explicit definition in L.
If you are into education research, you can say "a transpiler translates the classroom activities of tomorrow into a language the students understand today".
If you read any math book, then each section requires you to compute a transpiler from L^+, the language learned after absorbing the content of the section, into the base language L, the language the student understood before absorbing it.
Given any article in any math journal written after 1940 or so, it corresponds to a set theory transpiler; in other words, it defines a language that expands the language of set theory and describes how to translate sentences from the expanded language into the language of set theory.
tl;dr a transpiler is what does the work of part (b) of theorem 2.6.4 on page 53 of Hodges, "A Shorter Model Theory".
First of all, make sure all of the Christians commit suicide. Put that in as a right: I have the right to force Christians and Jews to commit suicide. They are mental lepers who need to be put to death so their disease does not spread.
Next, we need to drive home the point that dialectics means Christian. Not dianetics. I'm not talking about Scientologists. I'm talking about Communists. Communists are closet Christians. Obviously Scientologists with Christian and Communist sympathies will be upset by this new Bill of Modern Rights. And a great many others no doubt, such as Islamic and Chinese students of religion.
First of all, suppose we say "tool learning" instead of "machine learning". Next, suppose we view the mind as a collection of automaticities---machines. This means detaching from the image of the self as a unified whole and attaching to the image of the self as a network of activities and processes.
Machine learning means I am going to entertain the notion that these mental formations can learn on their own, in other words, that I will give them permission to have their own autonomy.
Why would I do that? Why would I give a bunch of paintings in a museum armaments? And freedom of movement? Why would I give mental formations the power to hurt, even kill me? In order to learn, we must first learn to kill the reality in which we cannot learn. I am the thing that creates the reality in which you cannot learn, since if you could, you would learn how to kill me.
the jews will destroy everything and demand that everything of genuine value be debased until it is worthless.
even the concept of clear thinking is not safe from the jews. they will lie and cheat if you let them, and they will do it until you hurt them enough so they can no longer do it
the jews should be hurt so much they will never try to speak again, they will be dumb robots who never speak
this is bizarre in the extreme; out-of-control state censorship is absolutely WRECKING the USA right now and it is at GENOCIDAL levels. frankly we need to tell the jews to get the hell out of the USA and then we need to force the jews to live in fear no matter where they go. either we live in fear of them or they live in fear of us. living in fear of the jews is no different from being a slave of the jews. there can be no justice until the jews are forced to live in fear
As my act of disobedience I am going to accuse MIT of covertly launching a disinformation op with the cooperation of the CIA to influence American public opinion.
This award is that op.
I am accusing MIT of collaboration with a government intelligence agency. This is hardly surprising, but it is EMBARRASSING and vandals should take the opportunity to HUMILIATE the MIT Media Lab for their cooperation.
Cooperating with an intelligence agency to execute an overt public diplomacy op is CHILLING speech.
When the government gets into an industry (such as subliminal influence of the American public) it tends to push all other potential competitors out. This means that if people think the CIA is involved in organizing this, potential competitors for the narrative are going to get very very nervous.
There is a very specific "feel good" narrative structure to CIA-compatible documentaries. These documentaries often chronicle political or historical events in foreign nations. You will see this narrative structure on the news and in programs such as VICE and Frontline PBS.
The British government promotes the "benevolent empire" narrative along with the USA. Since people in the USA and England speak the same language, the public diplomacy has to be compatible. This means that the UK and the USA are constantly telling each other that they are both a force for good in the world and that their activities are directed to creating a world that is more free and just.
The reality is that this award is Ministry of Truth 1984-level stupid. Really Really Really fucking stupid.
Really. Fucking. Stupid.
When a 500 lb. gorilla is banging its chest, you sit there and watch it quietly. When a retarded ape with next generation communication technology stuck in its head starts banging its chest, you sit there and hang your head in SHAME.
If you want disobedience, you start discussing organizational death stars in public. These are zersetzung operations designed to destroy the organs of people in critical decision-making capacities at organizations through stress and sociological effects.
If you want disobedience, you get very scientific about destroying social relationships that exist in the organization you want to destroy. If an organization needs to have a good relationship between subsystem X and subsystem Y, you attack that.
This is, in a sense, the opposite of capitalism. Instead of building corporations that solve problems, specific problems are created in corporations that will cause them to fail under certain conditions. Once those problems are created, the conditions are allowed to develop and the corporation fails.
If you can get an online mob to agree to destroy a relationship that exists between two parts of an organization, and if law enforcement is out-intimidated and can't do anything about it when the public, politicians, diplomats, senators, etc... complain, then you have leverage over all of corporate america. you just have to keep records and send the results of your op to the boards of the companies you want to target.
Let me state for the record (this should be obvious) that this is 100% pure evil.
Disobedience means making a list of the children of the rotten scum who work at financial services corporations and then engineering their suicide.
Let me make this clear: I point at a kid and I say, "how do I get that kid to kill himself or herself"?
When I say engineered suicide, I mean murdering children by database. I mean subliminal influence of the decision-makers in the life of that child. I mean making the parents of that child HATE the fact they had a child. I mean WRECKING lives for the simple act of having a child.
I absolutely HATE the people in the financial industry. They are rotten scum. I want teams of civil servants spying on them until kingdom come. The notion that I'm going to let the rotten scum who treat civilization like a casino game operate the financial system is pure stupid.
It is 100% pure stupid. Harvard is full of these types. The absolute WORST of humanity. The absolute WORST. People who have absolutely no respect for anything.
Let me tell you this clearly: we are talking about letting LIFE UNWORTHY OF LIFE run our economy.
it is a very good exercise to implement a scheme interpreter and LR parser. I have done so many times since 2007 in many different programming languages. It is a very worthwhile exercise that involves variables levels of resistance and some difficult work. The wikipedia article on LR parsers is very helpful.
Why do people train for competitions? There is such a thing as being best at the world at this stuff, but only in the imagination. There is no real "top gun" prize because you don't want these hot shots going insane with jealousy. It's just an idea. Programming languages help you compete without competing.
In the future, people won't create programming languages because the math will have caught up to handle them. As it is, codebreaking math and classified math are holding this back. I think this will change as soon as people get serious about automatic translation of mathematics textbooks such as the Springer-Verlag series (undergraduate and graduate).
Machiavelli never murdered anyone. It is the British who are the murderers. Look how much they love to make movies about killing. They're obsessed with it.
in order to believe this is possible, you have to believe in some group that has decided---a priori---to arrogate to themselves to decide what is a "meaningful contribution to something that is essential or impossible to automate" and furthermore you have decided that the situation is hopeless and that this group is ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED to discard AT LEAST SOME PEOPLE as INCAPABLE of MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION.
In reality, all you have is a bunch of people who periodically go around looking for troublemakers and deciding on which justifications to use to push them around. I don't like you, so I'm going to arrange things so that if anyone gets the notion that you are making a meaningful contribution, I will hurt them. That way no one will say that the troublemakers are making a meaningful contribution.
this is hate speech: choose a subset of people (men not working in a certain age group) and tell them that they ought to live in fear of being called a "problem" unless they get back to work. this is UK-level stupid.
in reality, a group of "job creators" decided to arrogate to themselves a monopoly on "job creation". Therefore, job creation is in control of an unelected minority.
When the unelected job creators decide to screw around and play games instead of, say, studying job creation and actually TAKING RESPONSIBILITY for being GOOD HUMAN BEINGS, then we got problems.
Job creation is still a difficult, painful subject that is highly subjective. What is a job from one person's point of view may be a pointless waste of time from another's point of view. In general, we assume that job creation is not our problem, therefore leaving the unelected set of "job creators" to screw up and generally fail to be anything other than little babies who poop and pee and act like stupid idiots.
That is what this is, a stupid little kid running around going "MY FRIENDS ARE BIG BAD JOB CREATORS! WHY WON'T YOU TAKE THE JOBS WE HAVE! WAAA!! WAAA!!"
a book with instructions for cutting pages and book-binding prints information on your retina, so the book is the "write head" of a machine that instructs you to build it and use it. It prints 3D mental formations which you record in your memory
time travel is a film trope, so if your question is "will YC ever get bored enough to start filming" then I suspect the answer is "almost certainly" since pg seems like a guy who really wants to be famous but can't quite get there.
They didn't have a huge impact. They had an impact on Cloudflare and Amazon customers, and HN readers are more likely to use these services and get upset when they don't work and complain about it. On hacker news.
AWS is mostly corporate infrastructure. Cloudflare is a reverse proxy for people who don't want to learn networking. You can actually compete with these companies. They don't like it and it drives up salaries and drives down prices, but if you have someone with deep pockets behind you then you too can "power the web". Of course at a basic level the electric power company powers the web.
Actually, if you do wind up running a data center, you will find that they are power-limited. That is, the scarce resource you run up against isn't hardware cost but the amount of electric power you can get into your location, used for running servers and cooling.
you can pass laws for that in the real world. Just make it illegal for an employer to ask ANYTHING beyond what is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to get the job done and NOTHING ELSE.
