If you've got 2GB of data and you're doing it in WASM... you're probably doing something wrong, for the simple reason that that means you probably loaded 2GB of data over the internet into the browser (and will probably need to redo that every time you revisit the page). That's enough data that you want to save it to disk, which means (probably) not using a browser.

As for "what is the point if not doing computation on "real" data sets"... letting you do computation on reasonably sized data sets. Consider that the size of a gaint codebase like linux is still only a few hundred megabytes (uncompressed). That's more than enough data to be doing interesting work. Or look at the size of a game like quake3.
Play store is a fail-open system. When nothing naughty is detected it assumes all is well. Apple appears to lean closer to fail-closed, with QA having to prove it's safe. And they likely have more human review.
Yep, except when it's for some politics own privacy. No stronger motivation than that to pass privacy-conscious bills next time.

If the public cannot stomach allied casualties, losing too many pilots might end a war even if the material cost of the planes was low. Quantity may have a quality of it's own, but maintaining public morale seems just as important.
Hmm, I hadn't heard this claim before.

And searching for neutral questions like 'Why don't hurricanes form near the equator' reveals consistently Coriolis Effect explanations.

It doesn't matter that if solar/wind is cheap (or even zero) because you still have to have an alternate power source for when your intermittent power has gone AWOL. You need cheap grid-scale storage, which doesn't exist at the moment.
Well to be frank, you do seem rigid in your thinking. For example, I pointed you at a noted libertarian think tank earlier in the thread, and you basically ignored my post and continue to describe being for the decriminalization of sex work as a "liberal" mindset.

Most political scientists reject the left right dichotomy altogether and use a "political compass" instead. You seem to be posting from the "authoritarian right" quadrant:

Maybe if you adjusted your attitudes based on data, rather than insist your views are right because they are your views, you'd feel less uncool or "behind the curve".
If it definitely exists, don't we then know that this program will definitely halt?

>it’s essential that mainstream journalistic institutions reaffirm their bona fides as disinterested purveyors of fact and honest brokers of controversy

This hasn't been true for decades. Almost all modern mainstream journalism is activist journalism. I think it's been normalized to the point that even journalists are unaware of their institutional bias.

Know any Premiere Pro alternatives? I know nothing about videos except we pay $70 a month and Premiere Pro still can't edit our older iPhone videos because they were filmed without a certain compatibility setting turned on for the phone.

We have to run an older (years older) Premiere Pro on our Macbook that somehow can edit them without any issues at all, with a newer up-to-date version on our much faster PC for recent videos. We've tried transcoding and various things like using an older version on Windows, but nothing else seems to work.

Then the other day I had to stay up until 3am because a video being edited just stopped saving with an uncaught exception and no useful information on both versions. I finally figured out that some effects like loudness and reverb control applied to the sound channel had become corrupted (after noticing it would save with sound off, then fiddling with the clips for another 2 hours having no idea what I'm doing).

Ever since the Flash days I've been wary of their software quality. Paying over $800 per year is fair if you're earning money and the stuff just works, but they don't seem to be holding up their end of the bargain.

Likely this is more confusion sowing by NVIDIA. While yes, they are names of scientists, in general they are confusing as similar products usually exist within their microelectronic subdomain.
Agree. Intent is to kill the product once this is all over and use the infrastructure to design better cities.

Moore's law is more of an economic necessity. Circuits get cheaper to run, cheaper to make, and faster the more you shrink them, so you just keep shrinking them. This was observed by Carver Mead way back in the middle of the 20th century.

Moore's law requires an average of 3% increase a month in the number of transistors packed on a chip. With a few hundred thousand people working on the problem, that's not crazy. Of course it's going to be spikey, but combined over the lifetime of a chip project...

I am not sure if line complexity has to do with it. [0] looks more or less the same amount if you simplify. Of course with simplification, it's less observable or clear.

Asynchronous functions, Callback hell and the pyramid of doom
In the U.K. I’d point to the General Strike of 1926 as a time when people were more polarized and I might add substantially prone to more political violence. Yes, it was nearly a century ago, but we’re often subject to recent bias wheN we think the current time is special.

In the U.S. when someone points out that we've never been more polarized, it’s always easy to point out that a couple million men took up arms against each other during the civil war. But more recently between 1965 and 1968 there were riots in a dozen U.S. cities including N.Y., Chicago, L.A., Detroit, Newark , Baltimore and Washington which required use of the National Guard or army to restore order. We see nothing like that today.
all software is build for users, and users interact with the front end. it makes sense to define the requirements with the front end and iterate until its ideal before starting any backend.
It is not trivial. Have you tried compiling any large app with graal? Anything with Weld or hibernate or H2 embedded? It has a lot of friction and isn't as easy as just running mvn package.
I think it’s a good point, and not one I’d considered. But there’s a large lead lead time required to hone intelligence in school or by other means that it doesn’t account for.
First, remember that you're doing an incredibly valuable service for your team. The time spent finding and vetting new people will have an impact larger than most other direct contributions. Your team thanks you (or should!)

Second, remember that asking the same questions is the only useful way to get a read on people. Without properly-calibrated questions, you have no basis to know whether a particular question is good or bad.

Third, try to improve your "read":

* For "soft interview" questions, instead of asking questions and recording the responses, look for specific truths that you want to discover. Example: "Is this person a jerk?" You might be able to uncover this with one question or it might take several to dig in deeper. Choose calibrated questions from a pool as you go through the conversation and focus on discovering the questions which give the best signal. Try out different wording of the same basic question and see if you get different responses. Become a student of human nature... if a fellow interviewer notices something you didn't, ask yourself why and try to improve.

* For "coding challenge" interviews, focus on growing your ability to coax the best possible performance out of your candidate. Are they nervous? Learn ways to set them at ease. Brain freeze? Try to find the best way to get them un-stuck without giving away the solution. Your goal is to answer the question "Is this person competent?" as quickly and accurately as possible, ideally with a read on seniority level, while ensuring that the candidate feels successful. Even a clear No Hire candidate should walk away thinking that they are ok (as a person, if not in their skill level), you are ok, your company is fantastic, and they wish they could work there.

Fourth, give yourself a break. Understand that 3 interviews / day is a LOT. The context is artificial, and you're multitasking the entire time... asking questions, listening to responses, evaluating, guiding, recording, vetting, selling. I personally find it difficult to do more than 1-2 per day. Hopefully this situation is temporary. Don't be afraid to set boundaries and call in help if you can.

There are some people you just cannot train to use a computer. We all have that relative that has a computer and doesn't know much about using it.

There are also the poor that cannot afford computers and are lucky to have a smartphone.

There is no cure, it is a learning disability.

More foreign dependence makes you more vulnerable in a war, and definitely doesn't prevent war. It makes you an easier target.

Also what you see as peaceful, others see as a stalemate unfortunately. Hopefully it lasts.
Unfortunately your comparison leaves out a lot. We have a large percentage of covid19 infected people with no symthoms whatsoever. How does that square with your pack of wild dogs?
I believe that is what is being pointed out here. You have asymptomatic elderly people dieing in their 70's and 80's, testing positive and their death being attributed to Covid19. It's not easy to tease that apart. But it's easy to dismiss as unreasonable to say. Asking if 20% of those death shouldn't be attributed to Covid19 is a valid question.
I don't think cameras will be displaced / eliminated. It's just a question of whether or not they will be accepted as a form of active surveillance or remain a method of security. Today, they are largely security but it's entirely possible the world moves toward mass surveillance.

I just don't get how you can't abstract away the fact that:

1. the right have their political compass point to Christianity, guns, less government, anti-homosexuality, anti-abortion

2. the left have their compass point to redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor for social programs through taxes, support for transgenders, democratic socialism, etc.

I just feel like the 'compass' thing is saying what is already obvious in a different fashion. Am I missing something?
Good to know I wasn't the only one who drew an elephant.
Time != Complexity; higher complexity makes time harder to estimate; complexity is easily underestimated or just completely unknown prior to at least some investigation.

Obscure seeming bugs can be trivially fixed, or days of work to have any idea what's going on, let alone fixed.
As a general rule, Acrobat ignores and silently fixes a lot of issues with PDFs that more stricter implementations will complain about (it goes beyond the spec to be accommodating). This unfortunately means a lot of programs out there are making malformed PDFs but their users don't know because "it works here on Acrobat!". So that's one reason I have to install it despite alternatives on Windows, but maybe Preview is the same in this regard and fine for general users.

We can't, and shouldn't, trust media outlets to provide accurate diffs. But for text media it would be easy enough to poll them every X minutes and commit changes to an online git repo, accessible from the origin site as annotations.

It could be organized like a decentralized Wayback Machine, with volunteers tracking sites like people choose books in Fahrenheit 451. For major sites like NYT there could be multiple trackers, reducing the need for trust.

If that doesn't fit within fair use, maybe it should.

"no firm release date". Ah, thank goodness.
Unless the market size for a population is not proportional to that population, then I'm missing something. France is ~67 million people. California is ~40 million people. There are ~330 million US citizens. So France is ~double California and ~ a fifth of the US.
I'm not sure that any experiment is perfectly reproducible. Though I would be very surprised to see a hurricane going the wrong way at mid-latitudes!

I'll just add that's version 1.4 (Acrobat 5) which is typically what many digital printing companies will request if possible. After 1.4 it was basically all useless features being added which bloat the file size (though 1.4 has a bunch too). So later versions of the spec will be longer.

I do like the spec a lot and have actually used it to track down bugs in files before. It's very easy to follow if you're just looking at certain operations.
And to save other folks a search, this is pretty awesome:

Or some other dispatchable low-carbon energy source, which also doesn't really exist at the moment. Load-following nuclear reactors (hooked to thermal storage) could do this physically but a lot has to happen to get the cost down. Meanwhile, various CCS options could play a role if there's a solution for safely storing vast quantities of carbon out of the atmosphere.
Port knocking is great theatre but not much good for anything else. I guess it can keep logs clear feom some drive by script kiddies.
Port knocking is great. Also look into honey ports which would be somewhat opposite where you automatically block/log hosts that touch the wrong ports.

It seems my "Show HN" post disappeared for some unknown (to me) reason. I can still see it there when I'm logged in, but it seems to be gone when I sign out (and I suspect other users aren't able to see it either).

As far as I can tell, I didn't violate any of the rules; I re-read them just to be sure it wasn't my mistake. I'm not trying to spam, and just wanted to share something I made and thought others might be interested in, so it would be nice to know what happened and how I can avoid this next time. Thanks!
NG is still extraordinarily high carbon. "A little better than coal (if you ignore the pipeline and wellhead losses)" is not something we can settle for given the seriousness of climate change. We need 24/7 low-carbon power. Fracked natural gas for entire nights (recall in winter nights are quite long) is not an option.
I'm not disagreeing with the architect part -- that's what I meant by "Once you've verified that the API design works for the needs of both ends".

An architect working in a vacuum is only going to result in unmitigated disaster in my experience. :)

But I disagree where you say that it's usually obvious from a mock-up that the backend is going to be too complex. In my experience that never occurs to people at all. All too often I've seen designers spend months mocking up fantasy functionality while the backend team is drawing up tables, shards and microservices, only for it to eventually collide in total incompatibility, when the front-end developers say "but the back end doesn't let us do three-quarters of this!" and the back-end developers say "but obviously you can't get the data that way, what ever made you think you could?"

Forcing the API conversation/specification to happen at the start, rather than in the middle, forces extreme clarity for both sides, so that necessary critical compromises are hashed out at the beginning, instead of discovering a horrible incompatible collision midway through.
I've definitely been considering it, but it's also the most-requested feature by the people who've been using the highlighting so far. I think as long as we make it relatively passive, i.e. you still have to scroll to see the new things, it might not be too much of an unwanted catalyst.

Worst case, if it did turn out to have a major negative effect, I hope (I pray?) we would have enough killer instinct to claw it back.
