I'm curious about the statements saying the NVIDIA drivers being "more stable". Is this true? I recently heard that the amdgpu driver is better than where Intel is currently at - although the discussion/context at the time was prioritizing hackability and tinkerability.
Indeed - from the earlier, pioneering home computers like the PET and Apple II, through to the generation that followed, with the likes of the Commodore 64, VIC-20, and BBC Micro, the 6502 influenced a boggling number of programmers, myself included.

(And without the BBC Micro, would Acorn have eventually designed the Acorn RISC Machine, itself having since proven quite influential?)

I'll take it a step further...not only is the product addictive and a known carcinogen. But, the gov approves its sale _and_ taxes it.

Imagine UBL saying he was going to "infect" America with an addictive carcinogen. There would be true outrage. But since we do it to ourselves - fed approved - it normal.
Thanks for your informative reply, but if I am following what you are saying, the Lee Helm is normally controlling all the trottles, and responsibility for port and starboard throttles is not normally split between two people? - though I take your point that, in the case of damage, there might be no single console capable of controlling both the port and starboard power, so I can see why complete flexibility in the assignment of controls to consoles would be a requirement.
Here's another one that I think belongs on this list:

NYC spent 6+ years and $13 million trying to reopen the Wollman skating rink in Central Park. In 1986, Trump negotiated a deal with the city for 2½ million, promising completion in 6 months, by Dec 15, in time to salvage most of the winter season. He and his team opened the rink 2 months ahead of schedule, and ¾ million under budget.

Excel is hands down the best financial analysis and modeling tool ever made. SQL is not really comparable here.

Any attempt to use it as a database or for data analysis should be met with extreme caution. As soon as someone suggests a VB macro for anything they should be shot. Excel is not the right tool for those kids of jobs.

Python and R have just destroyed excel for data analysis and statistics (and most visualizations now) and are free. You can’t go back once getting used to that flexibility.

Jupyter Notebooks reproducibility and traceability put the nail in the coffin for excel as a data analysis tool.
Vitamin E Acetate is not a THC additive. Sure, someone sketchy in the blackmarket added it to their product but its not a thing normal people using THC do intentionally.

The cause behind recent fear mongering over vaping is pure and simple. Some jurisdictions have become dependent on the revenue from the vice tax on tobacco and have seen vaping slashing their income more and more each year. Vaping must be made out to be dangerous so there is an excuse to tax and regulate it just like tobacco.
And yet nobody wants to pay for journalism. Everyone here just complains about NY Times and WSJ having a paywall.

Ask HN: Which is more fundamental: the table or the file?
A page is a file, but it might have been stitched together from values in a table. The table, though, is part of a database, which stores its data ultimately as a files on disk. But those files are part of the filesystem, which is a database of inodes, links, file names, and other tabular data. It goes on. The operating system bootstraps itself while reading files, like fstab. But the data in those files looks awfully tabular. After all, fstab is short for filesystem table. What is at bottom? Which one ultimately contains the other: the table or the file?

Yes, true. It is important to understand, that computers brought us further than paper. We now can have "Interactive Documents". And we should respect that, understanding, that this often dissolves the border between document and application. I see no problem with that. In the end, it all comes out to: sometimes you need program logic (Javascript) in the document. If this is the case, then just use it. The problem, as so often, starts with business and marketing. For them it's neither a document nor an application, it is "presence". And this is how it tends to get nasty...
React is best suited for interactive ui. For static sites just html/css should be fine.

Have you sued and had that work well? I'm interested in doing this but I am curious to know how well it works.
I don't know how to disentangle that from the fact that it was a vastly poorer time with very little technology and health care compared to now.
No, but that's the focal argument that IMHO makes it fragile. Again I repeat the point: if tomorrow someone published a paper showing evidence of a backdoor in RDRAND, would you still cite this article as good advice?

The point of the article is that the Linux entropy architecture is bad, mostly because it's over-engineered and unnecessary (and that it's the default, I guess). Which only makes sense in a world where we can trust our PRNG entropy sources and the algorithms used to generate the stream. And there is an uncomfortable amount of actual evidence that that is not the world we live in.
Yeah,

I think this example along with what I just randomly know about the other examples, gives the impression that this list is essentially meaningless.

I recall the "Marin Ships" being indeed constructed quickly but of very poor quality and in no way equivalent to constructing real navel ships quickly, just "we can put X amount of metal into the water and hope it doesn't sink too quickly".

And so forth, for significant number of these examples. Some of the examples, that I know nothing of, might be more "real" or more significant examples time-efficiency, but the list doesn't seem a credit to them. Lots of these are "yeah, we can put a stake in the ground quickly" and that's it.

The number is closer to $200 billion according to the CDC. Still crazy high and of the same order of magnitude, so hardly "wildly off base"
Easiest thing for you to do would probably be to take a job there, since all employees get access.
The claim is "2% of the shortfall" (the amount of money that would be needed to get $125 instead of $6 to everyone in the settlement), not "2% of the settlement amount."

Yes, the attorneys are taking 20% of the resolution. The resolution is so tiny that 20% of tiny is also tiny. The article title is highly misleading.

I'm a Redux maintainer. Sagas are a great power tool, but most apps don't need them [0]. We recommend that most apps stick to thunks as the default [1], and our new official Redux Toolkit package [2] adds thunks automatically to your store setup.

I've used sagas in a couple apps that truly did have very complex async workflows, and they were great for that use case. But yeah, using sagas _just_ for something like data fetching is definitely overkill.

I think that's a bit of a strawman, the parent comment wasn't talking about inter-culture interactions. For example, a group of chimps and a group of bonobos might never interact, but they still have different social behaviors. Why?
What a weird headline. The “acid test” is that the AI must actually help patients. I don’t mean to be flippant, but that seems pretty obvious.

Most of the article is the way that the Mayo Clinic embeds its engineers in real patient treatment. That’s actually interesting.

Under this scheme, the only way to make more money as a law firm would be to increase your costs, so this creates an incentive to prosecute the case as expensively as possible.

The eventual endgame of this system would be that law firms’ costs should rise to eat as much of the settlement as possible, which leaves as little as possible for the actual victims.

A fixed percentage system creates an incentive to maximize the settlement (on behalf of the victims) and leaves the law firm to pay its own costs.

It cost the same, but in different areas.

In 2001, you were probably one of few sites per subject matter, hence your traffic was free, but the tech was expensive.

Today there are 1000's of sites per subject matter. Hence the tech is free but the traffic is expensive.
> From what I understand, this is a USA only problem.

The study I linked was based on the Netherlands. I suspect the cost difference will be true for most countries. Unless you just let people die earlier. But that’s a whole other discussion.

I don’t know if anyone has done any studies on productivity differences. That would be interesting.
The shape of the Pentagon is an artifact of the shape of the property where it was originally going to be built. The location changed mid design but in the interest of speed of design and construction they kept the original shape. Nothing more symbolic to it than that (this is why it's such an irregular pentagon, the shape was whatever the perimeter of the original space looked like).

"Marx does offer an argument for why labour is taken as the substance of value"

The problem here is that we're talking about Smith's LTV and not Marx's. Marx may provide his own reasons for believing in the LTV but he disproved Smith's. So the fact that Marx had these reasons are irrelevant if we're trying to justify Smith's adherence.

Though, it is worth pointing out Marx did develop his LTV in part by reading the likes of Smith and Ricardo. The reasons he gives for the LTV in Capital are absent in A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy in which he merely takes LTV as a given. Actually, that's not quite right, he quotes Smith, Ricardo, and Franklin among others in support of LTV so it's my conjecture that he in fact did see an inconsistency and run with the theory anyway. It was only later in his career that he felt the need to justify that decision.

I realized, while making a Christmas list this year that I don't know how to shop for things on the internet anymore.
I am not a web developer, but I have grown up as the internet did and I've seen more of it than most people.

Amazon: Its tolerable if you know exactly what reputable-brand item you want, but if you don't you immediately find yourself in an unusable cesspool. Fake reviews. Chinese knockoffs. Low quality promoted items. I searched for "clamps" in the "tools and home improvement" category and there in my Amazon search results were trashy supermarket novels.

Amazon alternatives (e.g. Jet?): The selection is so poor that they are not usable for general shopping unless you are willing to settle for whatever one item is available.

Google/Bing/etc: Haha no. Sure you can find 1 bazillion retailers for any item you can think of, but they feel solidly sorted by "amount of money they pay google." Google shopping is more-or-less useless, and regular google search results don't allow you to compare products. Also, since it is not hard to find decent web developers, it is next-to-impossible to judge the reputation/quality of the bazillion retailers by their website polish.

Ebay/craigslist: Oh god no. Paypal hates me for some reason (it never accepts my perfectly ordinary credit cards) so payment can be literally unusable. All these sites feel like you're just selecting from a long list of scams. The amount of BS you have to manually filter out is completely ridiculous, and you are clearly competing with people who scrape these sites for items to flip for a profit.

Facebook: Unusable by anyone who actually cares about their privacy.

Chinese importers (ali/dx): shipping times of multiple weeks is unusable for many things. At least you know that you will be getting cheap Chinese products, so you can plan accordingly.
The CDC lists $170 billion in direct medical costs. https://www.cdc.gov/chronicdisease/resources/publications/fa...

Clearly the living have higher medical costs than the dead so some indirect savings exist. Thus, net costs are below that 170B and thus wildly off of a 500B net healthcare cost.
Because you own an AI with a strongly developed logic module.

You can buy ephedra in supplements, and ephedrine over the counter as Primatene or Bronkaid. Primatene is the perfect cold remedy--ephedrine to clear your nasal passages and guaifenesin to loosen mucus. Bonus that ephedrine gives you some zip, especially if you're in the minority of people whose viral-induced sneezing and runny nose is responsive to OTC antihistamines, which can sometimes make you drowsy (not as much of an issue for me since cetirizine went generic).

Warning: both ephedrine and guaifenesin increase blood pressure, so take care if that might be of concern.
Yeah I use a dry herb vape and I think it’s probably the best way to go about it.
You can use SDR to transmit any I/Q stream you want. I/Q is just a stream of two numbers for the strength of two phase-shifted carrier waves. How you encode your data (UDP packets) in the I/Q stream is up to you. SDRs like the LimeSDR Mini support sample rates of up to 30 MS/s, therefore it should be perfectly possible to achieve high throughput rates. On the receiver side you will also get an I/Q stream. The problem though is that it is not going to be the same of the transmitted I/Q stream. There might be a lot of noise, the carrier may be slightly shifted, the phase is not the same. Therefore you have to use some modulation to encode and decode the data. It is really up to you what kind of modulation to use. Some traditional ones are OOK (on-off keying), and some of the more complicated ones are APSK. LimeSDR Mini comes with example Python code to transmit raw I/Q. RTL-SDR should be enough for a passive receiver, but it is limited to 3.2 MS/s.
I'm kind of working on a fork. Everyone should have their own variant.
