Well, you brought it up...

Anyway, I believe it is related to OP's question (and so are my other comments). If (s)he wants to see if astrology is a 'predictive science', make predictions, and analyse them to find and interpret any patterns (s)he has to give serious thoughts about what sort of predictions can be made and how (which I think is key since 'predictions' really are whatever the astrologer 'interprets'...), how to analyse the results and what significance any patterns might have.

As such (s)he cannot simply brush anything deemed 'inconvenient' under the carpet.
The San Diego store (in Mission Valley) also started out as an Incredible Universe, Fry's had also bought their delivery trucks but never repainted them. Even 10 years ago, I would still see Incredible Universe-logoed trucks delivering appliances.

I love swift. but i think it is getting lack of traction.
I recall a point where I was had to go to Frys because places like Quement Electronics, etc. closed down. Frys was always a "hold your nose" and "be careful/picky" sort of place. Often they restocked bad returns, I had problems with them giving out bad ram at times, etc. Generally, the employees weren't particularly knowledgable either.

It's sad to see it go, especially Palo Alto. It felt like they expanded incredibly rapidly - including to Sacramento/Roseville, southern CA and WA state.

Nope, long travel time is good, it means your fingers have longer to decelerate, so there's less impact. Also, what you don't see from a picture is that you don't have to bottom the keys out, which: #1, means less travel time than you think; #2, again, less impact.
I'm not American, and there was nothing wrong to me with the book's historical perspective. What I didn't like was the lack of depth; there's barely any characterization or nuance or world-building, and it's written in this juvenile language that makes Haruki Murakami look like Proust. It's so comically bad that I was unsure at first if maybe it was supposed to be a satire and something was lost on me.

I've read subsequently that this is how a lot of Chinese fiction is written, so maybe that's just how it is.

Sounds like it might be worth reading the rest for the ideas, but there's so much else out there I want to read.
The courts deal with what's legal and illegal rather than what's right or wrong or ethical or unethical.

This situation appears to be a case where people are trying to use free market pressure to influence companies to not do business with those they deem doing something wrong or unethical rather than illegal.
Getting sick while traveling is always a crap shoot.

There are many Canadians who have been convinced that our health care system is crap by the usual suspects. It isn't.

Yes, if you live in a major center in the US (like near John Hopkins or Stanford Medical) and have great insurance, you will get some of the best health care in the world. The cost is your less wealthy neighbours are dying and going bankrupt.
Oh, we have a doubly problematic system.

The Internet became the standard for global networking in the 1990s by being an informal trust based system where the competition was things like Al Gore's Information Superhighway - these other hypothetical systems were centralized extension of something like a cable TV network and essentially had all the bad things we decry in today's Internet and none of the good.

Which to say, the lack of centralization in DNS or whatever aspects on might name in the Internet (IP addresses, etc) allows bad actors from below to do their terrible things.

But the lack of centralization also prevents bad actors from above from doing their terrible things. Centralized DNS is already a target - cable companies were complaining to congress about firefox from enabling secure DNS and keeping them from MTM traffic.

Which is worse? I couldn't say.
Could be that it was shot from a starship loitering just beyond our solar system, and designed this way to probe our planet for life while minimizing the risk of the probe being recognized as an intentional construct?
Yah, though I think there is more to be gained than often realized. Many algorithms can be rewritten to run much faster on gpus, though it takes some effort (and a different perspective, as a designer and programmer).

I rewrote a toeplitz matrix solver not so long ago; it was pretty fun! Treat conditional statements as plagues, and don't worry as much about early stopping... Every example takes the worst case time to handle, but you can do thousands of them at the same time. Ended up getting about a 1000x speed up against the baseline.

Keep logs local, and send only errors and noteworthy events to a central server like sentry.io, rollbar, or something else.

If you log everything to a single server, as you noticed yourself, it will become very expensive and difficult to filter out the stuff that you really need when looking for errors or when you try to hunt down a specific problem.
You can just ignore them. They have no cause to detain you, and you have no obligation to let them search you. I've never had a problem just walking past them out to my car. Only one time did someone even bother to yell "hey, I need to check your receipt!" and I just said NOPE and kept walking.
yes and no. they're a bunch of distinct simt cores. so what works badly on a few x8s SIMD cores can work great on GPUs.

This is a fantasy in the US, change my view.

We have waaaay too many overweight/obese people. And, as other comments point out, there would have to be a sacrifice in terms of automobiles for this to truly work. I find it highly doubtful that Americans would be willing to make that trade. Also, I think that if it came up there would be significant push back from groups you wouldn’t expect, like the disabled or union trade workers. This “bicycles will fill the gap” is a fantasy of Boujie urbanites and the aristocracy. We talk about how the middle/lower class feels a sense of generational wealth loss, a major push to move people to bicycles from cars would really drive(no pun intended) that message home.

And this is coming from someone who enjoys taking a bike instead of driving.

Thats missing the point I'm trying to convey. Try this analogy:

If you owe the back 100 Mil you've got a problem. If you owe the bank a 100 billion the bank has a problem.

The rules shift if you up the stakes enough. Return, time frames, values etc start becoming malleable concepts. You think it's a coincidence that masa talks about 300 year time frames?

Not convinced this will work. But I am convinced he's a step ahead of everyone else in rolling this dice. And if it does work it'll crush everyone else.

Nothing about this is reasonable. That's why it could work
I agree with the gist of what you're saying, which is that it's not possible to fully 'solve' security in video games by good security architectural design – it's just that for 99% of games out there, there is not even an attempt to solve part of it. The discussion goes as you say – the gameplay would suffer if greater security is taken into account and due to this these problems rarely get the talent they might need if the problems were to be solved better.
No, I don't think we would, because we don't do that to humans and really what's the difference at the point that we have polar bears carrying Kalashnikovs? Intelligent beings can be reasoned with.

More importantly I guess is this question: Why is our conception of "self" in the meaning of "self-preservation" exactly the size of our species for the purposes of Dark Forest? Why is it not narrower or broader?

P.S.: I further disagree that your sense of self-preservation would be justification. We do not consider pre-emptive strikes to be justified for a reason.

My 2019 XPS 13 2 in 1 has 32gb and an i7, it's a little power house except it's thermals are terrible and it will throttle quickly if you don't throttlestop it. My MBP work machine has 16gb so I definitely feel limited there.

The ultrabooks you want to watch at are the XPS 7390 2-in-1. HP Spectre x360 and Lenovo c940. I don't believe the latter 2 offer 32GB right now but I'm guessing they will eventually since the Dell has it now.
> If this project fails it'll probably be concurrent with a SV collapse in which case does it even matter?

It certainly matters. SV collapses are not and should not be the end of the world for strong companies - indeed that is how you separate the wheat from the chaff. Many companies came through the tech bubble collapse in 00 just fine and some are still going strong today.

If you're running a company that will be wiped out by the next SV collapse, you're in a fragile position and might want to rethink your strategy.

I think working on whatever makes you excited in your downtime is fine – whether that's coding, arts, cooking, spending time with your kids.

The differentiator is that you are working for yourself and not others.
Yes those of us that know ibuprofen is better for headache than acetaminophen.

Actually taking both together is more effective. Take one tablet of ibuprofen and one of acetaminophen.
At risk of identifying myself, I work in this industry (or should I say, I work in the medical field) and yes... it's insane. And of course, you get that privileged peak behind the veil, you get to see how the sausage is made as it were.

It is truly humbling because there is no easy solution, there are no unified APIs; you couldn't use them even if there were, because your medical records are highly sensitive. So forget about poking around production to solve a bug, you've got to do it through observability.

You can't move fast and break things because your downtime will get the regulators involved, because peoples livelihoods are at stake. You will get official complaints through various official bodies who can and will sanction the business.

In short, it's not a fucking joke and it takes a lot more time and a lot more money to do something serious here, and for good reason.

This is the type of attitude that is why people get so annoyed by bikers. It's not a huge portion of the population that is fit enough to ride ~85km in a day. Yet whenever people discuss commuting, there's a chorus of bikers pipe in how biking is so easy and everyone else is a dummy for not doing it, in every city I've lived in. E-bikes and E-scooters can vastly open up the non-car transportation market, don't be smug.
> Marketing budgets are several orders of magnitude higher than R&D budgets.

This is a lie. Marketing budgets are approximately equal to R&D (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-28212223) so you're off by several orders of magnitude.

> Most of the real "hard science" R&D is paid for with NIH grants.

Also not true. NIH grants are ~$40 billion/year whereas industry R&D are around $80 billion (https://www.statista.com/statistics/265085/research-and-deve...).

There are definitely lots of problems with the pharmaceutical industry, several of which are mentioned in that BBC article. But making hyperbolic claims that they essentially don't do any R&D isn't helpful.

Performance through-the-cycle is a big question. One can point to Salesforce (founded 1999, IPO 2004), which has been around for 20+ years... However, big sample bias here (ditto for my article, with sample n = 1). Salesforce, a big-category-defining company - may not be representative of moderately-sized businesses.

Whoisnnamdi - per your post, revenue retention looks like a key metric driving valuations!
I was more asking, what reason is there not to start a company? The OP seems to make the opposite presumption, that if you are any good, you wouldn't want to. Personally I don't see how skill and entrepreneurial spirit are inherently linked, but there is still certainly an incentive to be the founding member of a business.

We definitely need to save the internet... from useless blockchains & cryptocurrencies claiming to be revolutionary.

Also, how is this different from Namecoin?
Sure, but they're not speculating on the value of crypto (which is what people are actually concerned about when they talk about speculation.) These apps are just generic infrastructure, like a stock market is generic infrastructure. And, as such, they have value as infrastructure, independent of any of the assets people might list on them; just as a stock exchange has value independent of the ridiculous penny stocks people might list on it.

Bingo.

It has bothered me a long time how the whole industry has fallen to GPU manufacturer marketing speak.

That Nvidia Titan RTX thingie is a monster, but it has only 72 SMs (Streaming Multiprocessor), the closest equivalent to a CPU core. That is, SM is the smallest unit that can individually execute a true branch. Just like a CPU core.

Not counting hyperthreads here, GPUs have a metric ton of them, because they have to do useful work while waiting for very high latency memory. CPUs need much less of them to cover "bubbles in the pipeline".
WoW Classic is dealing with a huge botting and cheating problem, and the only response from Activision-Blizzard has been to do periodic ban waves maybe once every other month.
You know, one of these posts pops up on HN every few months, and every time it kind of annoys me.

If I'm building a project for fun at home, then it's typically specifically to learn about a new thing (which I kind of assumed was the case for most people); either a new programming language, or a new editor, or a new library or two. If I short-circuit and "just build the product", then that is sort of negating the purpose of the project.

If I wanted to "just get something done", I probably wouldn't have done any projects in Haskell (back when it really sucked for tooling), I wouldn't have learned category theory, and I wouldn't have gotten any work in research.

I got the 13" XPS 7390 2 in 1, 4k, 32gb, i7 for $985 from the Dell outlet during BF in 2019. Killer deal for the machine (I think it's MSRP was around $1800). Something you might want to look out for. It looks and feels brand new, not sure why it was returned.

This changes constantly (like, throughout the day) so watch this if you're interested. And don't use my price as your guideline, this deal was up for literal minutes when I got it and I've never heard of a better one. I'd happily pay $1300+ for the machine.

A big GPU might have 50 units capable of independently issuing instructions and each of those might have 50 execution units that will execute that instruction if its program counter matches their own. So it's hard to make a good comparison in thread/core count between modern GPUs and CPUs. But each of those 50 blocks can certainly emulate a CPU core on its own perfectly well. But that would be pretty inefficient compared to just using a CPU core.
Those cycles enable much higher level operations. Still tons of wasted effort, but hopefully development time for the same complexity is significantly reduced.

I didn't read it as competition for scarce resources. I read it as preemptive war against an existential threat. The Dark Forest suggests that any alien species presents a potential existential threat, and the safest thing to do is to (if possible) exterminate them before they even know you're there. It's kind of related to the Prisoner's Dilemma.

And you don't need every species to play Dark Forest, either. As long as one species is playing Dark Forest, all the others learn to hide, or play themselves, or get exterminated. That's the fate of those who want to be nice.
Fry's is undergoing the same warehousification as the rest of brick and mortar retail. Going to an electronics store used to be an event: new models, attractive displays, knowledgable staff, clean stores, bright lights. I suspect MBA management has squeezed every margin not directly connected to profit. This leaves the inventory, but removes any expense wasted on the experience of the store. New models? No, just the ones that sell the most. Knowledgable staff? No, only those willing to settle for essentially minimal wage. Clean stores? No, we cut the staff and only sweep as needed. Bright lights? No, turn off every other bank to be "green" (and save on electricity.) So the stores have become a step above warehouses.

When the most attractive feature of a store is in-store pickup, it is no longer an event to go to a store, but a logistical footnote in your day. Items are no longer sold by staff, environment, and experience, but instead as a commodity. While many people here may say they want to shop undisturbed, a large portion of purchases, especially high dollar ones, are made with the help of an eager sales person who is encouraging you to spend money.
