I am not sure I follow this line of thinking? You are saying that after the fact you somehow understand the context less than you did at the time of initial writing?

I find the absolute opposite to be true- At the time of the lecture or meeting or whatever, I am just trying to capture everything. What is truly important and what is noise is not clear to me at that point. Also in the beginning stages of a class or project certain concepts or decisions seem very new or foreign, and a few months later they are deeply ingrained and no more likely to be forgotten than understanding what gravity is.

By far the most successful study technique I have ever used is recopying my initial notes. The second set is much more coherent, organized, and focused on the tricky bits while removing things that I thought might be important at the time but ended up not being important.

I think someone did you a major disservice 30 years ago.
This is a great feature and I love Firefox and what Mozilla stands for, but I have recently switched to Edge because of how hard my CPU is hit when I watch YouTube videos in Firefox. I understand that this is not entirely within the control of Mozilla and the Firefox team, but it became such an issue on my current machine, which is admittedly quite old, that I felt forced to make the switch.
Semi related, I find it fun to look at patreon top creator stats, which includes a lot of podcasts: https://graphtreon.com/top-patreon-creators

Notable are Chapo Trap House, a communist/socialist podcast making nearly $2M a year, and Cum Town, a low production value comedy podcast pulling in almost $700k.

It's not showing up in this specific dataset, but listenership is down ~20% basically across the board.

Edit: At least as of last month, when I last talked to my friends in podcasting / in advertisement purchasing for podcasts.
It's fairly long and winding but the main point seems to be that because Unicode exists, and Unicode supports characters that are problematic for the concept of a unique identity, then it is the concept of a unique identity that is the problem.

It also presents a front-end solution (fuzzy-text matching for @'ing someone's display name in a Slack channel) but does nothing to address the ever-present back-end need to actually validate that a client is who they say they are.

There's a good reason you can't make your bank username 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕜𝕚𝕟𝕘 , and it's not "because developers are anglo-centric and intrinsically against all the wonderful individual expression and identity that Unicode could bring us."

Since the article mentioned Punycode, I actually think the current implementation is an elegant solution to a real problem. Of course we should enable folks from anywhere around the world to experience the Internet in their native language. That's the reason the Chrome algorithm to determine whether to show Punycode is so complex - it has to carefully balance the desire to show text the way it was intended while considering that it might be a malicious attempt to phish someone using characters outside their typical locale. In this case, the front-end solution of asking the user "which google.com from this list of two identical-looking google.com's is the one you want" just won't fly.
That's an elegant way of doing it. The cool thing about these kinds of algorithms is that there are multiple forms with different numerical and performance behaviors, and it can be tough to pick the best one for the given context. The more classical formal methods are the state-space canonical forms [0] which can be derived for higher order sequences and may be faster than a prefix sum implementation, or might not be, or may be better behaved numerically.

While it's interesting to see how many podcasts there are in general, it would be more interesting to know how many dormant podcasts there are and how long the average podcast lasts. The original podcast, The Daily Source Code, is still technically active (there is an RSS feed that works) but you cannot download the history and there aren't any new shows (mainly because the RIAA threatened to sue Adam Curry out of existence if he published another one).
Seems like real-life more closely resembles Kepler’s “Marriage Problem” (later reformulated as the “Secratary Problem). https://www.npr.org/sections/krulwich/2014/05/15/312537965/h... Its a solvable problem from optimal stopping theory. How many people should you date before you know enough to stop and settle (for the next person who’s better than than all the people you’ve dated thus far)? The answer’s x/e, where x can either be a maximum partner quantity, or thr number of years you give yourself to be on the open dating market.

The upper limit is, what, 4 or so new partners a day? That's probably how some rock and porn stars live (at least a part of their lives).

But even being far below that limit (e.g. one new partner a month for a few years) will statistically place in the extreme tail.
Agreed. Meta-searchers have been tried many times. It's not clear how this will succeed where those failed.

I do not want that to be the target. Going mainstream never helped with the quality of anything. Quite the contrary: mainstream means lowest common denominator.

My experience with it has always been that it is delightfully simple for the task at hand. There's a wide surface area because it covers a wide problem space (distributed computing), but any individual task has always felt simple and very thoughtfully considered for me.
If snap decides to update lxd on the nodes of your lxd cluster at the same time that a node has failed it is a CF.

The cluster will not come up because your down node is now not the same version as the other cluster nodes.
Pre-COVID I traveled frequently to see family on the opposite coast, this is still possible with TSA Pre and only carry on bags at most major airports.

However, it's risky now because airlines are under much more pressure to get flights off the gate, and they'll gladly close the door on you if somehow they have a quick boarding process.
Good question! I'm really not afraid of that. These are normal San Francisco purchases IMO. Also there are filters on the backend so I don't share things like medical expenses which reveal much more.
Air pressure difference between FL350 (traditional airliners) and FL600 (Concorde) is about 1/2. But the speed difference was about 2.5x, so overall you would expect Concorde to need to expend about 3.125 times as much energy per flight hour. Even with the flight time divided by 2.5 you're burning more fuel for the trip.

Interesting to consider a Concorde like design today using a slightly scaled up version of the P&W F135 supercruise capable turbofans.

But you'd still be competing with highly efficient turbofans like the GEnx series in a cost dominated aviation market. Also you still have issues like not being able to fly over land in the US that seriously limit the potential market.
The annoying thing is that nvidia-docker is still not great. You still have to deal with the driver installed outside the container, and it makes a big difference.

Furthermore it seems like even the CUDA runtime is typically not installed in the container, but rather injected in by the nvidia-docker container runtime.

It is not fun to deal with.
I thought a native UI application was where you used the user interface components that came with the platform, not bundle a web application.

Also, the only reason the Tauri project has to focus on security in the first place is because it relies on the overly complex HTML/JavaScript security model it chose to build upon in the first place.
Oh. If there is no Chromium apt package, isn't the following from TFA (lwn) misleading?

> The problem was the decision to change the Ubuntu chromium-browser APT package itself upstream in Ubuntu. Previously, that package would simply install Chromium directly. With the change, it would instead install the Snap package-management tools first and then install the Snap equivalent of the Chromium package — without making it clear to the user what was happening.

I think you're missing the series of events. The authors never submitted any false data. They claimed that this was what their research found, and when the journal asked for the actual research data the authors claimed that they had written the finding on pen and paper and lost the only physical copy. The journal published the paper anyway, without ever even seeing the data.

Agree, Flutter is top notch. I've had trouble pitching it as a technical solution, though. For one, I think word is out that Google will kill projects mercilessly, and there's an odd dynamic between the promotion Flutter and Kotlin/AndroidX. Generally, Kotlin comes out on top as the "safer" choice.

It's a shame, though, because the primary advantage I see with Flutter is its superior UI framework. It's leagues better than the AndroidX compatibility lasagna, in terms of architecture and DX. So it really stands out as a cross platform solution not just across iOS and Android, but especially across the Android ecosystem itself.

Your bank doesn't need the concept of a username. A service may need a username if it's going to have social features, public content, or other ways in which users interact with each other. If people just log in and use the service, let them use an email address as their login (which is already unique), and don't make them pick a username at all.
I think they mean the startup is slower. Snaps don't really impact performance other than startup time.
And given that a majority of "Ex-Google" engineers are males, where does that leave a woman (or any under-represented group) founder?

She is not asking for money "just because" she is a woman. She is asking for a fair chance. And we need to give folks from under-represented communities a more than fair chance to combat inherent selection bias.

Because there are lots of things a computer can do comfortably that a phone, tablet or chromebook can't.

Sometimes there can be tradeoffs between convenience and security, but in the case of an app store the convenience actually enhances the security, because it diminishes the chance of people running random harmful commands from the Web.
Given this appears in Gale and Shapley 1962, I'd say it is part of the original formulation (though they do it by saying people are simply not allowed to apply to colleges where they'd be a hard no rather than apply and be rejected). They're looking at stable matchings for college admissions, not perfect matchings.

Isn't the headline wrong then? If the contact occurred in Polynesia, then the "epic voyage" should be from South America to Polynesia.
I found it very satisfying the perceptual lull I felt between essentially stopping listening to podcasts between 2009 and 2012 echoed a period of slower growth after the explosion of 2004-2007. Somewhat disappointing the charted data only goes back to 2007 but very interesting just how dominant the United States it when it comes to sheer volume.

Given how similar the current podcast "cultural gold rush" feels compared to the way it did slightly more than a decade ago, I can't help but wonder if we're heading for another bust. The economic boomtimes that created so many willing sponsors of the last four or five years are coming to an end, and the onrushing economic difficulties are driving more and more people into podcasting as a potential source of income. Can a whole industry support itself on the pockets of Squarespace and Casper mattresses?
The only thing Robinhood did good was pushing other brokerages to get rid of commissions.

I would hope that most people left their platform after they had those major outages during volatile trading days a few months ago. Any place that has outages lasting that long without properly explaining what happened shouldn't be licensed to deal in securities.

Now they're just preying on people that aren't knowledgeable in the financial markets by showing them how "easy" it is to trade. I have studied and worked in finance, and I'll be the first person to tell you, trading isn't the least bit "easy" and shouldn't be portrayed as such.
The Shah flew the Concorde and apparently liked it so much, ordered 3 (Condorde 'B') on the spot. Typically ahead of his time, his vision was for making Iran a major hub along the lines of what Dubai and Qatar have done in the interim.

Interesting to note that China apparently also ordered Concordes.

How aggressively are you willing to moderate and kill bad ads?

The biggest issue I see with Google/Bing/AOL/Yahoo Search (and even DDG!) is malicious advertising. It's led me to the general view that any search ads are hostile by default, and I've often found outright dysfunction when it comes to shutting down bad actors.

The other issue I'd be curious about is your position on trademark squatting. i.e., where if I'm Best Buy, my competitors can buy ads over the search term "best buy", so if I want my own site to be the first "result" for my own business name, I have to buy ads.
My experience is the same. Also when two people cook it is far easier and quicker. Learning to cook also gives you freedom. You can vary the taste for the same dish. One thing to note - its safer to cook veggies than meat if you are still learning. But one tends to get better in this art.
Turns out that NASA not betting on one horse is a good thing. Until Boeing flies with humans we have SpaceX at least.
It's not, actually.

In other cases, this might be that. But in this particular case, it's not. If you look closely, it's not about the heaviness at the edges -- they're literally different outlines. Safari in this case is actually creating a "faux bold". It has nothing to do with the heaviness of antialiasing, like Photoshop's options.
This reads like a series of increasingly terrible decisions.

I don't have access to the full article but if they are laying the case for having Robinhood regulated (as I suspect) then I'd say what's even more unfair is preventing responsible people from having nice things because irresponsible people can't be trusted not to hurt themselves, or understand the risks they're taking.

Granted, that bit about gamefication does concern me, it's sort of dopamine abuse - I'd argue to an extent it's a dark pattern, just like frequent unsolicited attention grabbing notifications from other apps to encourage use.
I can't really read the whole article, but from what it sounds like is a man put too much into the stock market, and lost. He took out even more to pay his debts, and lost that too.

This has nothing to do with the app, but the risk tolerance of those involved.
Ask HN: Is Uber taking the Amazon route?
I've argued here before - https://cnc.substack.com/p/how-to-succeed-in-food-delivery-by

One way to gain dominance in food delivery is by expanding into different sectors to optimize the delivery network. Delivering food ? Maybe also deliver grocery, medicine, clothes or almost anything. This can bring the scale in terms of delivery orders enabling the company to optimize.

With Uber launching on-demand grocery delivery in Latin America & Canada and also buying Postmates; it looks like Uber is doing exactly that.
Why "condescending"? It's true. VCs are driven by ROI. ROI is driven largely by whether the person taking investment can do the job.

The law that could make climate change illegal
Why would you need to rotate the lanes?

const __m128 x = _mm_loadu_ps( px );
const __m128 xPrev = _mm_loadu_ps( px + 4 );

_mm_loadu_ps: load-unaligned. There's no requirement for addresses to load/unload. There are probably penalties for loading across a cache line, but its perfectly valid to do this.

-----------

> Which compiler do you think would do that automatically?

GCC simply does the unaligned load: https://godbolt.org/z/2HwYMi

Clang does the shuffle successfully: https://godbolt.org/z/Y3hbQn

The shuffle is probably optimal... I'm surprised CLang is good enough to recognize the opportunity. But simply doing 2x loads from memory is probably fine, especially because the 2nd load is guaranteed to be from L1 cache. Besides, assuming 128-bit vectors, 2x 128-bit vectorized loads every 4-elements (averaging 1/2 a load per element) is still superior to scalar code (1-load per element).

Honestly, Clang surprised me by generating the superior shuffle code. I was expecting both GCC and Clang to generate the suboptimal (but simpler) unaligned loads.
Wait the dude on the cover page went from 70k to 1 million then back to 140k in a year? Why is that a sad story?

I happened to read a story today about someone arrested for punching a police dog in Houston. It took one day for them to be charged, and that was because they went to the hospital first.
That case was mentioned in a popular paper with about 8 others I recall. One big issue is that they all occured pretty early on when testing wasn't so wide spread. So there's also a good chance it was just a concidence and they were actually exposed to someone else.

This is one issue with the media. That paper, with less than 10 case reports of asymptomatic and potential airborne spread was spread much more rapidly than the WHO report which reviewed ~70k Chinese cases and most spread within household contacts.

I'm in the typical customer base for Robinhood. I've been using their app since late 2015 and I've never ran into issues like these. This is bound to happen if you're treating trading like gambling and listening to strangers on the internet about which stock to buy to get rich quickly.

Decades of historical data is helpful in figuring out that if you just spend time in the market (with decent ETFs or stocks), you'll gain money. Timing the market is way worse than just spending time in the market.

The examples cited in this article are people who are at the extremes and very tragic but I hope it serves as a warning to other young investors that Robinhood is not a game and the money is real, so tread lightly.

Disclaimer: I've put in around $10k into Robinhood and it's not my primary savings/long term investment brokerage.

>3. Dating apps present the lowest bandwidth signals first (photograph, age, height etc) and expand out to higher bandwidth signals after an initial screening (Language, communication, cultural similarity etc in messages).

The rest can be usually be surmised with a quick chat about where you grew up/live, the universities you attended, the firm you work at, and what you do for a living. After that, any nuances would probably require spending time with the other person, when the other person finally lets their guard down and you can see who they might be in the long term.

It could also be trivial for one of these dating apps to pull credit reports and incorporate them when offering matches, as well as asking the candidates to submit their last 3 to 5 years of tax returns.
Well they sell your trade data to HFT firms before a trade is executed to let them arbitrage on you so you are probably net losing money vs fees from other brokerages.
