For public companies it would be relatively simple: evaluate capital gains at mark-to-market prices. For other assets I agree that it’s complicated.
No, you are missing the thing that sets GP apart from GAs and other metaheuristics. It is the P -- GP is about creating programs.

Ask HN: Powerful vs. No Rules Rules
I'm trying to select a book to read so as to understand the ideas at the heart of Netflix's culture.

Requesting suggestions on which book to read first- 'Powerful' by Patty McCord or 'No Rules Rules' by Reed Hastings and Erin Meyer.
You would have to be more specific about what you are claiming is untrue, that's a bit vague.

I'm aware of how TSMC felt about the prospects of GAA at 3nm, and their view of Samsung's yield prospects (i.e. not great).

Sure, it's logical to push GAA to the next node if you can, but part of TSMCs style is that they didn't even confirm that they were moving past fins until earlier this year.
>Compound interest works with relationships just like it works with money.

This is a really great way of putting it because compound interest also works on social debt (being a dick). Build up a lot of it, and you won't go anywhere.
Probably utilisation of hardware
To be honest, the corporate rat race thrives at making people who are otherwise doing quite well with their career progression feel like they're not because that makes them easier to exploit. Life is not an exam to be min-maxed. You don't take that fancy career or lifetime earnings with you when you die, so unless you're doing it for the intrinsic joy of doing it, there's an argument to be made that becoming better at engineering has no guarantee of making your life better.

This. Especially that last line. I feel most of the time I'm just wanting to get more and more, both financially and challenges wise. But to what end? Your words here really calmed me down. I got me thinking. I felt like a dog running after a car.
I wonder if its actually even worth it to do this kind of shit. Forget the ethical concerns for a minute, think about the kind of company you've built and the people you've hired to even warrant this kind of scrutiny in the first place.
There is typically more of a counter-cyclic effect expected from recession, however. At the school where I work, enrollment this semester set a new record. Apparently that came at the expense of some other school(s).

But I agree with your point generally, this probably has nothing to do with a backlash against college itself, and instead seems to be something more specific to "college-adjacent" degree programs.
The terminology is bad. Don't confuse "search and optimisation"-type search with "pathfinding"-type search. A-star is the latter, but GP (and other metaheuristics like GA) are the former. To be clear -- if you're looking for eg a good exam timetable, you just need a good timetable -- you don't need a path from some other point in the space to that timetable.
Well, this also works from the opposite perspective: we have evolved to combat earth virusses, but haven't evolved to combat anything from another planet. Lacking the shared evolutionary history may leave us more vulnerable.

> I think we can safely blame the government for this one.

It's interesting how the "American" tradition of individualism and self-determination is quietly forgotten when things go wrong on a societal scale.
Thank you for the clue. All the reviews I had read claimed Intel and Samsung SSEs were bulletproof, and everybody else's were trash.

For $300, it should have been a better product. Only 6 months later the competition was getting only $100 for them.
For your specific examples it is much more easier to monitor the amount of work done.
Distances in the US are mentioned a lot, but few people actually propose going from NY to SF by train. Moving more people for example in the Northeast Corridor, or in the Bay Area by train is a realistic goal.
First of all, a theory full of "might" is not exactly useful. Secondly, even if it does who says it will change it an correct direction?
I see value here. On the one hand, emotions are socially constructed. That may be well known and obvious, I don't know. On the other hand, I find specifying these axes useful: (un)pleasantness which is axiological, (un)certainty which is epistemological and the "(un)excitation" axis which is more "physical." Separating these components by analysing ones state seems like a useful exercise giving a finer grained view of the variables in play and what can be done with them. Though, yes, I don't think that it's novel that they are influenced by metabolism, that's a pretty basic consequence of materialism and we were taught that in psych 101. Maybe there are already existing models that cover this though.

I was the guy in school who taught other kids how to use Encarta to browse the web.

The library PCs had MasterEye installed, and the staff would monitor the name of the front window. Internet Explorer set the window name to the URL. Encarta did not. If they saw a site that didn't look like school work, the staff would then remote desktop to check what we were looking at. Yes, it felt oppressive at the time. I'm not surprised that employees feel the same as school kids.

This wouldn't be the case had it occurred when Netflix or Spotify were getting started as opposed to being established brands. Its also not clear what people presented with the need to side load a secondary app store would just get frustrated and give up.
I worked for a company with a UK department, the UK boss would routinely use similar software to check that people where actually working and doing things correctly.

The Scandinavian bosses opted to just trust everyone to do the right thing and people always would.

Interestingly enough if was always the British employees who would do things like steal customer contact lists when they left or do deals on the side, so I suppose they had a reason to not trust people.

While I don't think spying on your employees is acceptable, I was also extremely disappointed in the behavior of my British colleagues.

I've largely given up on OpenBSD.

The security "track record" isn't really much of a track record when you consider that their only claim pertains to "the default install" which frankly doesn't comprise a very useful set of tools for doing anything other than a router. But if you want a router, there's pfsense.

Anyways. My experience with OpenBSD mirrors yours. It's easy to set up if your desired end state is an X desktop and ethernet networking. 802.11 in OpenBSD is an exercise in patience to say the least, and the last time I looked (admittedly back in 2016 or so) most guides were still recommending wpa_supplicant and config file editing with a straight face.

I'm Canadian, so I really want to like The Little Canadian OS That Could but honestly it's second- or third-best at everything and best-in-class at nothing.

I don't know why a person would reach for OpenBSD in 2020 when Debian exists, except perhaps if you want to enable corporations to make parasitic profits from others' hard work. And even then there's FreeBSD for your playstation and for pfsense, and NetBSD for your toaster.

I dunno, it just seems like they make so much hay out of being secure, but the "secure OS" isn't much of an OS at all in terms of functionality.
I've been using DDG for a couple of years. It produces satisfactory results as long as I describe what I'm searching for thoroughly. Google knows me well and is able to surmise a lot from a much shorter query.

In the same vein, if I want unbiased results, DDG is strictly superior to Google.
RDP or VNC over Ethernet is still laggy. Same reasons as why cloud gaming never takes off.

There are people running super long active HDMI or USB extension cables so perhaps that kind of setup paired with HDMI splitters could work. Security is going to be an issue though.
Of course not. In his mind he's probably employee of the month. Every month.
Lots of different reasons, but common ones include:

1. No binary blobs, so hardware acceleration can be missed.

2. There have been issues with specific apps e.g. Firefox that seem optimised for things that OpenBSD doesn't do.

3. Historically SMP/Hyperthreading support hasn't been as performant as it is on other platforms. In some cases this is due to prioritising security over performance - e.g. speculative cache execution bugs.

>How easy/hard is it nowadays to just go to a store, buy a nice phone, go home and put Mobian on it?

I don't want to say impossible, because that's not quite true, but close to. Mobian runs pretty much a stock Linux kernel, and there are only two recent devices on the market designed to do that: the PinePhone and the Librem 5. The alternative is to use libhybris to run on top of an Android kernel (including all the proprietary drivers needed for a typical Android phone), but... that's really something the distro developers would have to do, not you as a user.

Some Android devices are now mostly bootable with mainline Linux or something close to it (PostmarketOS has done a lot of great work here), but these are typically devices that are several years old, not the kind of thing you'd go out and buy in a store.

In short: unless the device you buy happens to be a PinePhone or Librem 5 or you are a dedicated kernel hacker or distro developer... no chance, for the vast majority of recent devices you might buy.
That is a quote I'll have to remember.

3. Battery replacement cost $70.

4. So If I buy let's say $600 phone it's like I buy $530 phone and I get larger storage more memory, my phone is pixel 1 but other than battery didn't have any other problem or issue serves me well.

5. But I could just replace my battery for $70 and buy a great tablet for $530

There's also, to some degree, people acting according to the expectations that are set for them. Having run up against that myself, there is frequently no point fighting that expectation. It's better just to either play that game, or leave.

Oftentimes in a low-trust environment, you just do things in order to survive. Need to run a critically important errand or pick up the kids? I'd see parents skirting around things all the time. No one gave them crap for it, because we all knew it was just life. I'd suspect your British employees are living in some part of society that is low-trust.

I've usually chosen to leave situations where there was no use fighting expectations. We don't get to set that culture. To some degree, cultural context matters, and to some degree, it also comes from the top.
Assuming NVME queing works like SATA or SCSI queuing (which I believe it does), then basically queue entries are unordered [1]; the device is free to process them in any order. If you (as in, person who is implementing a block layer or file system in an OS kernel, or some fancy kernel-bypass stuff) want requests A and B to be ordered before request C, then you must do something like

1. Issue A and B.

2. Wait for A and B to complete.

3. Issue a FLUSH operation (to ensure that A and B are written from the drive cache to persistent storage), and wait for it to complete.

4. Issue C with FUA (force unit access) bit set.

5. Wait for C to complete.

Alternatively, if the device doesn't support FUA, for writing C you must instead do

4b. Issue C.

5b. Wait for C to complete.

6b. Issue FLUSH, and wait for the FLUSH to complete.

Now, like wtallis already said, NVME additionally has multiple queues per device, but these are independent from each other. If you somehow want ordering between different queues, you must implement that in higher level software.

[1] The SCSI spec has an optional feature to enable ordered tags. But apparently almost no devices ever implemented it, and AFAIK Linux and Windows never use that feature either.
Imagine if your builder tried to control what appliances you were allowed to install in exchange for a cut. Digital restrictions to define a market defined not by technical limitations but by arbitrary restrictions designed to extract a cut of the profit is relatively new in the grand scheme of things and its a bad road to go down.

Yes, but with bad employers that can often result in 'wage deflation' where the amount of buttons sewn or marketing calls made required gets larger and larger - which can often result in overworked and very stressed workers - there's been quite a few cases in call centers in the last few years.

When workers are paid per piece directly it can sometimes mean they will be paid less than the minimum wage.

Ha. My home server for a very long time was a RPi 3B+. Totally fine for all kinds of background home server-y tasks, including running a local jupyter server for one-off calculations. (When I need a lot of cpu for something, I probably need a beefy gpu, which is a whole other beast.)

Power supply: It's USB powered. For a home server, I find it convenient to plug it into a USB port on the router, to which it is also connected for ethernet.

SDCard: It was set up to only use the sdcard to boot and use a USB stick as root, which gets around all of the sdcard issues. This is not a totally plug-and-play experience, though. My understanding is that the newer firmwares finally allow direct boot from USB, though.

Case: You can DIY it easily. The case for my home server was basically a folded piece of cardstock on which I drew a picture of a once-bitten pear. Other times I've used legos or dremel tooled altoid tins.

Heat sink: Unnecessary prior to the Pi4. (which also ramped up the cpu and power usage quite a bit...) They keep producing the older models, so it's mainly a matter of picking where you want to live on the compute vs heat management scale.
> Chief among these misconceptions is the view that feelings are innate and universal, and can be consistently measured. So, anger, for example, is thought of as a fundamental building block of human nature with a tell-tale physiological “fingerprint”; all we’ve done is gone and named it. But that idea is categorically untrue, Barrett says, and reams of scientific data now back her up.

What scientific data? Not a single link in this entire article for anything to support these (like many have said already) preposterous or obvious claims.
This is also what I do, not only on my phone but on other sites. I'm now thinking of hiding notification badges and other distractions.

The only problem is that when I get bored, I still want to see if I got emails, reddit notifications, Hacker News replies etc. I still open the app to cjeck then get distracted. Someone aptly compared this to a slot machine where the prize is a small rush of dopamine.

Could this idea work for rockets leaving earth? Use a ground based laser to create a hole in the atmosphere then fly a rocket thru it to space.

Edit: Some quick research seems to indicate that atmospheric drag is a relatively small part of the overall energy budget in a space launch - perhaps only 10%. So probably not worth the effort.
Private search engines, by definition, must make less money than others. The ads are less targeted and worth less, and user data and search habits are not sold. To be outbit by other smaller players, you have to wonder: what is their business model.

And then you have non profits like Ecosia. Is it fair that Ecosia has to pay untold amounts in a secret auction to Google? That money could have gone to pay trees but instead is going to line Google's pockets and strengthen their dominance...
This is great. I didn't see a way to save the diagram "source" which would enable the user journey: edit-edit and save partial progress today, then load and continue editing tomorrow.

Still even without save this is already very nice way to explain user flows in a website. Good job!

Some suggestions:
• plz remove the sound that plays when you go to the homepage https://wireflow.co/ (I know it's just a short sound, but sets an unpleasant precedent)
• perhaps there could be an "import your own page type" and they get added to the sidebar? (user uploads will be pngs, not nice svgs as the stock ones but still)
• add save + load option (to keep it simple, use native format of the app, assuming json)
• keep it simple and single purpose: it's super nice and simple right now, but if you add lots of features it won't be
• show some example user journeys (to give visitors ideas how they can use for their own project)

Are anyone elses autonomous cars really close to release?

Waymo has been signalling the imminent arrival of autonomous taxis for a long time but seem to be stuck on something, never taking the last step to being a proper open service. Telsa have been claiming FSD is just round the corner for years, but seem to have gone quite on that recently.

I'd love to know what the sticking points are, especially for waymo, who.must have many millions of miles of driving experience but seem reluctant to commit.
Officially, schools need to restrict access to classes for liability and other reasons. As an alum you may be allowed to audit by paying a fee. It should be a lot cheaper than tuition.

Or, since you know the place, you can just drop in and ask the prof if it's ok to sit in. They'll probably say yes and be happy to have you sit in their class (i.e. not demand you enroll and pay the fee; Professors generally aren't big on toeing the line on such rules). This is extremely common.
Sure, that would be revealing at least.

2 days to get ramped up, update tooling, dependencies, database snapshots, docker containers, etc. Do all requirements gathering, investigation, and design work.

I'd argue that workplaces where people are micromanaged and monitored tend to attract people who are either willing to adapt to these circumstances or are OK with gaming the system for their own benefit ("clearly my employer doesn't value my privacy, so why should I value theirs?").

Meanwhile people who thrive on getting things done their way without interference find work elsewhere.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) tries to do that.

There are lots of good answers in this thread but I'll give my take on it. Sorry if it's a bit all over the place.

Honestly I've just completely given up on our world. As such I feel no responsibility to improve it because I had nothing to do with getting it into the current state.

I legitimately enjoy everything I get because I know I'm much better off than most.

Everything is going to hell in a handbasket and all the systems we set up to try to fix these kinds of problems are corrupt or impotent. You have ultra-rich hoarding everything and the average person is flat-out treading water. It can't continue and nothing is sustainable.

I've decided to not have kids and bring them into this.

I'm not anxious, just resigned to our fate.

Honestly I just hope I die before everything collapses. Once you let go and stop hoping for more you will end up happier. You were lied to by the media which you should stop watching because what you watch becomes what you think.

Earlier generations and our leaders and special interest groups screwed us. I'll see you on the other side.

Sorry, not trying to bring anyone down, that's just how I see it. Maybe I will feel differently tomorrow, who knows.

Feel free to ignore.
Your approach suffers from regression to the mean. You would hire someone who happens to do very well on the interview, likely someone who thrives on an adrenaline rush.
They're still only answering half the question. Okay, 15 digits is more than enough. But how much more? What would the minimum be, and why are we using more than that?

Ideally the article would talk about what "more than enough" looks like (which it does), but also what minimums look like (which it doesn't), and then mention that they chose that specific size because most computers do two specific sizes really fast and that's the more accurate of the two.
The difference there is that Microsoft has a huge, dedicated security team, and has spent the last ~15 years aggressively improving their security posture, as opposed to some spyware author that decided to go 'legit'.
