This isn't unique to Rails apps. You'd have code organization tensions in any complex app you write.

Fortunately, for whatever you decide, you can create as many folders as you want in `app/` and Rails will detect & autoload them for you.
Strangely, I got a notification for this on twitter.com on Win 10 Chrome and it said "you are no longer using a vulnerable version of Anrdoid on this device".[1] I do use Twitter for Android on my phone, so maybe they sent the notifications to anyone using it but they forgot it could be displayed in the web interface too.

I find the "Our understanding" language strange. Presumably this number comes from some kind of metrics, but it seems like a bit of CYA language?

Still, appreciate the heads up for something they AFAIK didn't have any obligation to give a notification for.

Reels isn’t going to compete with TikTok in any real way for a few simple reasons.

First and foremost, as a non-Instagram user, I flat-out can’t use it. A while back, when I was curious about TikTok, I downloaded it and was instantly swiping through a video feed that was already getting customized for me. I downloaded Instagram this morning and was presented with a wall to create an account. Nope.

Second, TikTok is new. Instagram is old. Young people want to use the newest social app that old people haven’t yet infiltrated.

Sometimes you do what you've gotta do.

I'm not a nut that does everything with the power on--I kill any branch I'm working on and double and triple check with a non-contact voltage detector before I stick my fingers into anything (which saved my bacon the one time when the hot from a different branch of the same phase ended up connected to a neutral wire for a plug with no connected ground leaving it showing 0V on a multimeter in any configuration and still being live with the breaker off; that house was a mess). However our current dwelling has no main cut-off for the power. If we wanted to turn off power to the panel we'd need to get the power company out to pull the meter from the socket.

In a mostly full panel the bus bars are pretty much completely covered by the breakers anyway. You'd have to work pretty hard to come in contact with them. And the wires you're working with (besides the ground) are insulated anyway so no issue if they brush up against something.

The only thing that's _slightly_ butthole puckering is chasing the uninsulated ground wire through the panel down to the neutral bus.

And yeah, done without gloves because weighing "safety when I make a mistake" versus "greater dexterity so I'm much less likely to make a mistake" I prefer the latter. The protection is rubber soled shoes and keeping one hand tied behind my back so the electricity has no path through me.

That sounds like you're blaming Fauci for failing to convince Trump? Isn't that backwards? The point to having a head of state (or any senior executive) is that you pick them for the ability to derive input from and synthesize decisions from a large group of experts who can't independently all enforce their own rules. That is the function of a senior executive!

I mean... this is The Problem writ small, really. What really happened with why "America Turned Away From Science" isn't anything to do with science at all. It's the the population used to have a sense that there were "experts" out there with a "consensus" on important items. And that consensus went away, as now we have whole media ecosystems whose role is to redirect this kind of consensus building.

So Fox, which started as a way to redirect the 70's/80's consensus opinions about, say, the welfare state and Keynsian economics, is now serving to tell people that "the experts" say masks are going to kill them and that the virus is a fraud.
Trying to figure out what you are suggesting with the copy/paste stuff. I looked at the first few commits in both the PavelDoGreat repo and the haxiomic repo and see no obvious signs of copypaste. PavelDoGreat's initial commits start with initializing WebGL, seems reasonable. haxiomic's starts with a README and then a code drop, again, doesn't seem too unexpected. I also doubt one took from the other since one is Haxe and the other is JS.

That's not true. The axiom is correct.
Say you're using double (i.e., you have 16 decimal digits of accuracy, roughly) and you are doing ((1.0 + 1e-20) - 1.0).

That becomes (1.0 - 1.0) = 0.0 because 1e-20 was dropped during the addition.
The substraction was perfectly accurate given its inputs (1.0 - 1.0 is exactly 0.0).

The issue is that float(1.0 + 1e-20) = 1.0. But that's also very accurate ! (All the 16 decimal digits of 1.0 are correct). But yeah the 20th (decimal) digit got dropped.

You see how each individual computation is maximally accurate. So the axiom is correct.
What it boils down to is that you are manipulating (adding/subtracting) numbers of very different magnitudes. So cancellations, which would be negligible if all numbers where of similar magnitude, becomes catastrophic. Hence the name catastrophic cancellations.

I've heard a similar theory about Epstein and child trafficking for years, but not one single person was ever able to provide evidence proving the allegation, so naturally I concluded the allegation is False.

You're right we know very little facts about the case, but gamemaster and his lawyer did and came to the conclusion it was a 5-10k case. So without any other evidence why should we assume that estimate is wrong?

Any potential for something like this to be added to gpt-4's training data set. Being far from an expert, I assume the figures and any non-text data could pose a problem, but it also seems like providing it with a huge high-quality source of scientific reasoning could lead to some pretty amazing and revolutionary results. gpt inspiring research directions or even coauthoring. Anyone who knows more about this have any thoughts? Have I just drunk the gpt cool aid or is their some potential for it to revolutionize science quite soon?

True! It's not trivial to get 10 us latency even in C++, Rust, etc. You have to do OS-level configuration, and you can't touch network or disk.

But beyond that, the actual code you write is fairly natural for those languages. You can't allocate, and your code and data have to fit in the cache. But you can use normal language constructs, and most of the standard library - neither of which is true for Java.

Looking at the code, it is using a script from Browser Update[1] to determine whether to show that message.

Here's the line from the js you linked to that checks the browser version:

window.checkBrowserVersion = function() { i()({ required: { i: 12, e: -4, f: -3, o: -3, s: -1, c: -3 }, insecure: !0, unsupported: !0, reminder: 0, reminderClosed: 168, style: "corner", api: 2019.06, test: !1, onshow: function() { window.track && window.track("BrowserUpdate", "outdated_version_dialog", "Browser version outdated dialog") } }) }, $((function() { window.checkBrowserVersion() }));

The c: -3 is the crucial bit that should cause it to trigger if your version is at least 3 versions out of date.

Yours isn't though. Can you access http://browser-update.org ? If not, then there might be something with your DNS settings. Have you tried tethering through your phone? Have you changed your user agent?

I did some benchmarks on static hostings recently:

https://www.pierbover.com/posts/static-hosting-benchmark-202...
They preface this by discussing the prevalence of deep inlining in aggressive, profile-guided optimization of modern (presumably C++-dominated) code.

Couple of thoughts:

- I wonder how relatively effective this optimization would be applied to profiled, typical "old school" C, written and tuned in an era when compilers were simpler and inlining of small functions—and other abstractions we would consider "zero cost" today—could not be assumed (and thus were often replaced by macros). This is the C of the 400-line function, which surely has a few hot paths and many cold paths as well.

- Are there existing or promising potential optimizations similar to this but without the profiling requirement? Are there effective heuristics for identifying likely "hot" code paths without requiring profiling or user annotation?
I think this is a lot more optimal too, as it broadens the availability to those without zoom on their device.

> you think there's a conspiracy to publicly falsify evidence and influence the public

It's not a conspiracy theory, companies employ public relations to influence how the public views them. In this case Google has a strong interest in making Lewandowski out to be unusually reckless so that other engineers don't view Google as a company that goes after engineers.
But most Ruby devs don't want flexible, they want Rails. And this article makes a good case for why that's a good thing. It's also happening in php world where it seems 90% of projects now go with Laravel.
My personal fundamental axiom of floating point numbers is that they're like a physical measurement of a continuous quantity. Examples:

1 + 2^30 - 2^30 = 0 is like adding a drop of water to the ocean then removing an ocean's worth of water. You're not going to be able to meter that accurately enough to leave the one drop behind.

Round-trip conversions from decimal to FP and back result in a slightly different value. Why do you expect special treatment for a number system in any particular base? Nature's physical quantities aren't in any base. And why do you care about the 17th significant figure? You can't measure that with common scientific equipment.

Cumulative errors. They're like tolerance stacking. Engineers define dimensions from a common datum instead of in a chain from each other because their physical measurements accumulate error like floating point does.

They don't allow extreme values. You're never going to need them because you can't find a 10^400 m or 10^-400 m long object in nature either.

Dollars and cents don't work right. Money isn't a continuous quantity.

There is pretty much one thing advances in AI tells us. Most of humanity is nothing more than a statistical approximation algorithm. But that doesn't mean human intelligence is. What is fundamentally lacking from modern AI is the ability to "invent". They can perfectly (at least very soon) approximate the behavior of "Joe". But they get nowhere close to even touching anything like the Einstein's of humanity.

The main problem I see with AI is that it is very easy to approximate "general human intelligence", which is essentially equal to "being indistinguishable from the Joe next to you". But it is a completely different league to actually advance the human race. For that, statistical approximation will never work.

The next step is to create AI that innovates. As long as that isn't done, all we have is a demonstration of how "unintelligent" most human beings really are (i.e. nothing more than a statistical approximation + pattern matching... Instagram and social media essentially is like an AI forcing function for human beings, to make them become average).

And yes, we can couple AI with things like a Go-Engine, SAT solver, theorem provers, etc. to give them abilities beyond what humans can do in these categories, but who builds that? Humans... As long as AI can't build an AI for a category it knows nothing about and has had no training for, that AI remains "as unintelligent as a brick". All it can do is reproduce what its creator taught it.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing at all. This could still be extremely useful for society and put a new evolutionary pressure on the human race to become "above" average. Something that has been utterly lacking in the past century. With general, yet stupid AI becoming a reality soon, >90% of humanity is rendered obsolete. This will cause a significant pressure to improve on an unforeseen scale, which is probably a good thing overall.

Truly intelligent AI on the other hand, might as well lead to our immediate extinction, since it renders the entirety of the human race irrelevant.
I feel like in Today's day and age it's about understanding the fundamentals of a system and using software tools that automate the heavy math to allow for creative problem solving quickly and dynamically, that wouldn't be possible on paper only or through manual computation only. I'd rather give the kid advanced tools to analyze and improve on the structure than force them to learn the already abstracted ulta-fundamental and impractical math that runs those tools...
I was almost semi-proud of having done my implementation, why did you ruin the party.

Jokes aside, and not to boast about what I did, honestly, but Lua is (in hindsight - I wish I realized before) full of gotchas which are definitely not easy to implement (just one word which still makes my stomach hurt: COROUTINES).

As I wrote at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23025501 :

There is an app I've been using to track my Vitamin D for a few years now: http://dminder.ontometrics.com

(Not affiliated with the app, just happy with it.) It tells you the sun angle, peak hour of the day, and maximum time you should be in that day's sun based on your skin type, to avoid getting burnt while still getting enough D.

Be careful though - you might get a little OCD about Vitamin D tracking with this app. I did, and mainly use it now for checking how long it is safe to stay outdoors. (Instead of full blown tracking.)
I disagree with how frequently some topics or perspectives are pushed....i.e. Rust is better for this, now Rust can be used for that.....although that comes subjectively from a bias and appreciation I have towards C

Registry cleaners are absolutely a theatrical sham.

The worst part is they are more likely to do harm than any positive effects simply by the nature of "registry cleaning". The registry is an extremely MRU (Most Recently Used) optimized database. At best "regular cleaning" just trashes MRU statistics deoptimizing exactly what the OS tries to optimize in the first place. The registry is also heavily optimized to be read heavy rather than write heavy. At worst that MRU churn from "regular cleaning" directly becomes a cause for database corruption simply by the volume of writes it forces and the likelihood that a power loss or similar occurs during those writes. The number of times I've seen friends/family regularly using CCleaner and then complaining about corrupt registry hives and needing to drastically recover Windows is far too many.

Depends on what you mean by business. The nature of that type of business is that it's not very predictable or repeatable so you get one small chunk of business but ultimately it's not the kind of business (even a consultancy who's job it is to throw hours into the fire) you really want. Scaling that out would be death by 1000 papercuts.
