Complaining about down votes usually attracts you guessed it... more down votes.

I didn't down vote either your prior post or this one. I value durable things. My 8ish year old desktop just died. Both my phone and my laptop are 5 years old. On the other hand I see the value in cheap things that will be affordable to all made by small distributors that value our freedom to use our devices. Everything in life is some degree of trade off and I see room for this one.
Yes, it’s silly. See it all the time. Insist on FQDN and then aparently don’t understand what a FQDN actually is.
Almost every org I have worked for in the last 20 years - (across the globe) - I have heard this from atleast one senior management. In some way or form.

Not all devices are supposed to be that good. This is a hacker grade toy device, not something you should depend on - after all, the price reflects that.
Tailscale or Zerotier are good ways around that.

Or setting up a really cheap server (e.g. I like RamNode) as a central VPN point.
To quote from that financial statement:

"Volunteers also contribute in several ways to the Foundation’s wiki software: volunteer software developers add new functionality to the code base, and volunteer language specialists add to the code base by translating the wiki interface into different languages. During the year ended June30, 2019, there were 48,361 commits merged, through the efforts of approximately 447 authors/contributors, of which 9,158 commits were through the efforts of approximately 258 volunteers."

If I was one of those volunteers I'd stop.

This for sure. Though I still prefer that to the abrupt, suddenly I'm now watching an ad that's 3 times as loud as what I was watching before, it's somehow suspiciously 'relevant' to what google thinks it knows about me, and can appear without warning once, twice, maybe even 3 times in a 10-15 minute video depending on, well I'm honestly not sure what after trying to figure it out for a while now, and may or may not be skippable, depending on again, I'm not too sure what.
Unfortunately, not just "nothing happens", actually happens lots of disappointing and disturbing things.
I do not wish people like Rogozin achieve anything, because any achievement would be ultimately turned against us, people they genuinely consider their enemies.
So, I tried searching as well and haven't been able to find anything specific.

I was having some fun playing around with Google's Music Transformer so I built this site to make it more accessible and to generate sheet music so people could play along or use it to spark creativity. The songs can be hit or miss, but some turn out surprisingly well with noticeable long-term structure. I'm curious to see how others use it and am open to any feedback on what features to add next.
If this is going to be anything like how arm did it, intel most likely upgraded the atom CPUs to support all the instructions of the big core, probably just very slowly. For example, you will find that the lowly Cortex-A7 supports virtualization extensions. Why? Because it was paired with big cores that supported them.

The only way to make big.LITTLE work and allow task migration between them is to have them support the same instruction set exactly. So, I suspect that that is why AVX512 was removed from the big core here, and I suspect the atom cores aren't exactly garden variety either. They probably support most other extensions of modern x86 CPUs, at a slow speed.
For example, AVX2 can be microcoded by running multiple pieces of the data through the ALU, one at a time.
I found that combining such approach with writing down basic interfaces works really well - after i have a rough written idea i iterate over interface design with full descriptive comments of both the interface, and the methods.
I think because from an outside perspective, many seem to make caricatures of themselves as these massive intellectuals making more money than anyone else in the US while while engaging in some sort of futuristic fever dream of silicon, hallucinogens, and money.

Not saying I particularly agree, but coming from a more traditional work background, seeing the ball pits/slides/wave pool college campus like billion dollar companies, hearing (probably exaggerated stories) of bizarre costume parties etc seems to be very much an isolated (radical) group.

There is also the worship of billionaires and a dark dystopian vision of the future with the promotion of things like the gig economy, offshoring, and an internal class system in the companies of the "red badges" and the "brilliant engineers"

I don't think it is a stretch to see this as a breeding ground for radical technolibertarianism. I mean, they made it, why can't everyone else?
‘Universal’, for about 5% of the population.

That means that they have to decide who’s in that 5% and who isn’t, check for misuse, etc. That removes a main advantage of a truly universal basic income, that it is a lot simpler to manage than supplemental income.

Worse, for the 5% that qualifies, this doesn’t even give each of them $500 a month, it supplements their income to $500 (“The plan aims to reach 2.3 million people and is expected to cost the government about €3 billion a year.” implies the average receiver will get about $1300 a year, or $110 a month, even if the project has zero overhead. Even multiplying by average household size, I don’t think that gets to $500, as https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=823c79d39e3d4918968... says that’s about 2½.

So, basically, this is a no strings attached (at best) social security system for those with the lowest incomes.

There’s nothing wrong with that, but don’t call it UBI.
I don't think Amazon cares about getting "true talent." They seem to want to hire cogs in a great code making machine. The new graduates that grease the gears certainly aren't savvy enough to know why a non-compete is bad.
I'm going to respond in a single thread here as this is getting pretty fragmented: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23480481
My issue with that opening scene is that it seems to illustrate wealthier, higher class people as the ones who can solve all the problems in society because they have boatloads of money and are educated to the nth degree. In comparison to the hick family with 10 kids they also featured. What difference does it make if poor people are having more kids and the rich stave off having kids because of lack of time? I might be missing the point of the satire the movie is trying to portray but wouldn’t it make sense to put those poor 10 kids through public schools and universities in hopes they can get jobs in industry or research to eventually help humanity and solve problems. It’s an issue of equal opportunity access to me. And I’m not too sure if the movie is poking fun at the idea of expecting wealthy people and their offspring to solve the world’s problem, or if that is one of the movie’s actual message.
I would stay away from the kinds of places where this conversation even needs to be had in the first place. This type of antagonizing behavior is unprofessional and unsuitable in any industry. This is the sort of thing you should have figured out by the time you got out of college if you were paying attention.

On HN, I would much rather see headlines regarding "How I improved the daily grind of my direct reports" rather than what is effectively "please dont set the office on fire, that is naughty".
> Employees at this level tend to have a pretty high level of financial management services to manage scenarios like this.

I think you're seriously overestimating how sophisticated the financial management is of your typical software engineer, who could very well be spending beyond the cap with none of those things you mentioned.

In my experience, most Amazon employees just put everything on a credit card, and then they sell stock to cover the credit card payments if their salary doesn't cut it.

That's pretty much the extent of their financial planning.
Well if we called it by it's real name, it would be much more apparent: bribery.

So we think Google is doing a good job, but we also want to dictate to them how they do it?

Seems like a recipe to have a worse product.

The argument that they're so good at what they do, they've created a monopoly, I think is very fragile.
Just purchased one, very excited. Looking forward to it arriving sometime in August.

My use case is basic browsing, taking notes in meetings, reviewing papers (using something like xournal), SSH'ing into remote machines, a small amount of dev'ing (compiling on remote) and perhaps presentations (has HD output). I travel alot and having a machine that doesn't break my back would be cool. If the keyboard is half-way decent I may even use it for writing too.

The reason for this device over other existing solutions are many: low price, built for Linux, lightweight, low-power (good battery), form factor (where did you go netbooks :( ) and a great community!
Uhhh yeah they have https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9942
Thank you.

> Assuming The Natural Numbers are consistent then all true statements are provable in some axiom system. Just take the collection of all true statements as the axiom system. Now every true statement is trivially provable.

That axiom system wouldn't be particularly useful to humans though. When we talk about sets of axioms, we almost always talk about finite sets of axioms. This is what makes them useful to us, allows us to use them for describing things.

But you do have the right intuition here. The next step is using the compactness theorem[1].

Presumably you mean ublock origin? ublock is a commercial product that sells whitelist slots to advertisers.
I use an adblocker, but not without major hesitation. Ad blockers see all web browser content and can do basically anything with it. It's scary giving extensions this much access.

Telling someone non-technical "go install extension ABC" is pretty risky. They might find and install "uBlock Original BETTER AND FASTER" that comes with a bitcoin miner or something worse. Even as someone "tech literate", I sometimes find it quite hard to verify the authenticity of downloads like this.

Also relevant in this case, when there is a reasonable option to pay to remove ads from something I use frequently, I do it. YT is $10/mo, it's worth it to me.
I tried to start with an edgerouter and a Unifi AP and quickly switched to an all-Unifi setup. I recently switched from a cloud key to running the controller on a $5/mo Digitalocean VM when the UCK died for whatever reason. I’m not sure about how ultimately reliable it’ll be but I like it fine. The remote adopt function in the iOS app is extremely slick.

Personally I think the more interesting question is "where on earth is such lobbyism legal".

Clearly in the US. I have the idea that in at least some European countries, it's less prevalent and definitely less public / blatant. Not entirely sure though, eg we Dutch like to think our country isn't very corrupt but somehow we just don't seem to notice when our ex ministers get cushy jobs at the bigcos they helped to deregulate.

I think the US is kind of unique in how obscenely public the corruption is. Elected judges who fund their campaings with money from companies they help win trials, super PACs, the list seems endless. No wonder y'all are libertarians.
While this may fix the issue you pointed out, it gets rid of a crucial benefit of managing a team you're familiar with: context and trust.

By the time a manager gets promoted, they often have enough context to functional well at that level. They may have built a network within their organization, have seen the product or technology go through several iterations, and developed a good understanding of how their team members work. In turn, this makes them a better manager.

New managers have to work hard to gain these skills, and incur great cost in doing so.

> genuinely feels like some of the criticism from the peanut gallery is unfair

I agree with this for sure. Yeah, what SpaceX and, to a lesser extent, Boeing, are doing is cool, but there's something to be said for being the "old faithful" of the launch industry. No one else can really hold a candle to the flight heritage of Roscosmos' rockets and crew vehicles. Sure, they haven't fundamentally changed in a long time and aren't new and shiny like Falcon, but they've been flying for forever and are reliable.

I don't think I ever claimed that the U.S. in it's current form is a pure capitalist system (or even close to it) and I think you're deliberately taking the first sentence of my comment out of context.

That being said, I don't think we're disagreeing here or at least not entirely. I'm saying that the state can't be trusted to manage the economy and distribution of wealth because it is prone to corruption and favoritism leading to bad outcomes. You seem to be arguing a similar point.
That is sweet! Yes cyberpower ups are really great. I regret not going 1500va as well.
There's a trend towards automation built around 'commits' that encourages this sort of thing.

"WRITE BETTER MESSAGES".

but put WIP in the title so we know not to review it.

but ... do commit often, so we can get builds out. put WIP in the title so we can decide to build with tests or not. or something.

Tying automation steps to 'commit messages' is begging for "WIP JUST COMMITTING TO GET A BUILD OUT" messages, which people then complain about.

Exactly. AWS and GCP load balancers accept HTTP/2 but allow for those requests to be forward to backend instances as HTTP/1 because of this.

In a similar way they will be able to use the beamforming capabilities of 5G for crowdcontrol once the stations are deployed everywhere.
I figured out something very similar in flight school. When I did my instrument rating, I realized my instructor, Sean, wasn’t perfect. No pilot is. But, I believed he could pass an instrument check ride. I could not.

I decided that rather than figure out if everything he did was the best way or “worked for me”, I would just do my best Sean impression. I still had the opportunity to get even better by learning from other instructors or coming up with my own ideas. That could wait until after I got my rating.

He actually noticed. At the beginning of an early lesson he showed me his check routine during taxi. He flowed through all of the instruments and controls. The next flight, I did my best impression. It wasn’t perfect, but it was close. When I was done he told me no student had ever gone through the whole thing the next flight. Most don’t even try. Even the better students just grab a few things and end up with a routine close to his by the end of training.

It all ended up working. I passed my check ride with just about the legal minimum amount of training time.

Writing this all out and talking about what a great student I was feels pretty egotistical. Ironically, that’s the opposite of what this method is about. Just copy the closest person next to you who is better than you. They don’t even have to be that great. Then, find someone better, and copy them. Save breaking new ground for later in your journey.

I've elaborated elsewhere in this thread on why positions like yours are inadequate and why Compatibilism makes perfect sense. None of the points you've raised so far have any bearing on this. Suffice it to say, Compatibilism is the only sensible conception of free will we currently have, which is why 60% of modern philosophers are Compatibilists.

And no, this isn't an argument from authority, this is a suggestion that if the professionals who devote their lives to studying this topic disagree with you, it might be worth questioning your assumptions and reviewing the subject matter more closely.
>Brian is taking the exact same job at Google! This is what non-competes are for!

No, that was never the initial intention of non-competes. There is only one situation where non-competes make any amount of sense at all. No one should ever sign a non-compete except for the following situation, you are selling a BUSINESS to someone else. That's it. There is no good reason outside of that to ever sign a non-compete. It is reasonable when buying a business to want some insurance that the seller won't turn around and open a competing business across town and steal all their old customers. It is NOT reasonable to say, "Hey, we want you to work for us. But if things turn south you aren't allowed to work anywhere else in your field."
Turns out I've fed my family just fine working on free software for most of my life (sometimes as a software engineer, but more often as a researcher, entrepreneur, executive, and otherwise). Probably 75% of my jobs.

Even in an extreme hypothetical -- if the government were to mandate that all software be free software -- only a minority of software developers would lose their jobs. Banks still need to manage transactions. Employers still need to manage payroll. Google still needs to serve up ads and search results. And I don't want to host AWS myself. Those organizations will continue to pay to build software.

There's a huge bit of confusion that the word 'free' somehow means you don't get paid. It doesn't. It turns out if the source code pops up on github under a GPL license, most of the time, the world just keeps on ticking.

There are exceptions, of course -- companies like Adobe would likely disappear -- but for 90+% of jobs in software, whether it's free software or proprietary impacts your ability to make money not-at-all.

The most successful organization I helped found was almost exclusively free software. There were hundreds of people using our platform as open source, and zero of them competed with us head-on. The only differences were: (1) our customers trusted us a lot more (if we went away, they wouldn't be SOL) (2) we had a massive amount of engineering work done on someone else's dime.

In more senior roles, or even being more assertive in most junior roles, I could usually release what I was working on as free software by asking. Right now, of the programming work I do, about 90% is free software. The organization I work at is probably 95% proprietary software. The value of keeping me around + good PR + possible contributions + ... is much higher than the value of having exclusive rights to source code that I write.
What's changed is social media. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram all use machine learning to provide just the right feedback for us to keep cominng back for more. This has hijacked our dopamine feedback loops and changed the way we interact with each other.

I know personally, my attention span is much worse than it was years ago. It's tough to find friends, and if I weren't married, I bet it would be tough and highly competitive to find a mate. I think this has something to do with it.
I'm personally very thankful for the library of knowledge that is Wikipedia. For a lot of searches on technical matters I usually bypass Google and go directly to Wikipedia. I find that you can often use the references and links to bypass the Ad infested web to some extent.

Stop checking your email.
We'll call you when you receive an important one.

Ever wanted an important email to trigger a phone call to alert you? Most services need full access to your mailbox to trigger a call.
My solution is to instead set up automatic email forwards to an app that will trigger a call according to your call criteria and schedule.

Let's say you'd like a call on weekends after 5 pm if you receive an email from your manager, just simply set up forwarding rules in your email provider, and we'll give you a call once you receive an email.
Yeah, never put something like this in a LPT unless you want it immediately fixed.

I thought solar farms produced power.
Not a standard source for algebraists, but Percy Diaconis's book, mentioned in other comments, is an excellent introduction. Also contains applications in probability.
I would suggest both -- simplify quantum fluctuations to a random num generator -- if that just sits by itself spewing out numbers (like a watermelon), I agree with you

But add his suggestion to yours -- a random source + the ability to reason -- think of a robot you give a gun + reasoning partially based on a source outside your control -- here randomness

Does that robot careen through NY, or hold reasoned debate on human rights & free will. Such a robot, I think, would be considered a free agent, and have free will (for most definitions of free will). I suppose we'd maybe want to add the rule the robot is consistent -- it doesn't flip randomly through extremes, even though its total path is fully random -- reasoning+randomness

Personally I would apply that to humanity -- some source gives us agency (decision making separate to the source that originated us). Quantum mechanics is interesting, because it suggests maybe this separation is randomness due to lack of definition -- i.e. our source can fully define everything, and yet our separation of independent decision making makes our interactions meaningful. Which has some really beautiful conclusions -- notably life and decisions have worth, etc, etc

Course numbers are not standardized, although there are common numbering schemes. There are some uncommon ones such as MIT's, which uses a number and a dot instead of a subject name. And I've never known what institution the typical "CS 101" numbering scheme applies to.
