I really enjoy listening to Thiel. I think I've watched every interview with him I could find on Youtube.

He's actually very deep into the metaphysical stuff, in particular he has a deep understanding of Christianity. This is my favorite interview with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO_00POR-Po

Yarvin is a much deeper thinker than what those quotes would suggest. He's very much focused on the nature of power and he's extremely well-read. Every time I watch a new interview with him I end up buying another book or two. I recently finished The Machiavellians by James Burnham which is the book he always recommends people read. Yarvin actually invented the terms "redpill" and "bluepill" interestingly.

As far as Nick Land goes, I will check him out. I see that he tends to be associated with Yarvin so I am surprised I've never heard of him. I tend to view "scientific racism" (and when I use that term I assign no moral weight to it) as a trap. On a purely rational level I can understand the logic behind the ideas but when you introduce the irrational dimension (e.g. the Imago Dei for starters) it becomes a lot harder to defend. Thomas Sowell actually does a good job delegitimizing many aspects of that approach on a rational level in his studies that compare wealth and income within racial groups but across cultures (e.g. Chinese within China vs Chinese in Southeast Asia or even American blacks in the 1940s vs American blacks today). Nassim Taleb has argued very forcefully that the idea of IQ is complete pseudoscience.

But yes, any person that the Cathedral (a term from Yarvin) goes after is someone at least worth looking into.
I find it interesting the article didn't mention compile times at all. Maybe since Oxide mostly works with embedded, they have few dependencies and their compile times aren't very bad? I know my primary complaint after working with the language for about a year is that most projects take over a minute to build. Of course, it doesn't help that I keep moving onto larger projects xD but even small things like cargo-deadlinks and ripgrep take a while.
Another person asked this too. There's obviously no way to directly measure it, since it is simply a perception of something that does not actually exist. I only "hear" it because I have either neurological damage or inner ear damage. But I know musical notes, and it's a D2. A C#2 is too low, and a D#2 is way too high. It might be more like a 72Hz instead of 73Hz (D2), but it's close. It's a "guess" in the same way that any singer might sing any other particular note. I can hum it, in tune with itself, although the sound of my own voice destroys the perception. I can use that tone generator I linked above, starting it and stopping it, and compare until I hit the right note. Just like tuning a guitar by ear. I do have to have absolute quiet to hear it, but I can reliably hear it 100% of the time when in absolute quiet.
Show HN: Checkr – write project specific static analysis easily
That's a huge tradeoff with compiler complexity. Not only can you have issues of syntax incompatibility, but you also have to implement the syntax for every assembly variant for every architecture you support.
Musk's Exaggerations Will Catch Up with Him. Or Not
During code review, I noticed many nits could be caught by static analysis.
I also noticed many bugs I've run into could also be caught by static analysis.
I looked into writing custom ESLint rules, but often they required more ceremony and boilerplate than I had time for.

A friend who worked on a mobile project at Google said he had written dozens of regex checks to ensure code quality and catch various bugs.
I was incredulous and asked why he wouldn't use a more "proper" AST static analyzer.
The fact was, he had bigger fish to fry and sometimes a simple regex check is all you need.
I tried writing some regex checks like this, and found it to be quick, yet yielding good returns.

Thus I wrote checkr, a VS Code extension that allows devs to plugin simple regex checks right away.
Anything niche is good candidate. I'll give you a few examples. One of these examples was me, the rest were my friends who also got the EB-1A.

Examples - software eng in investment bank building some complicated bond pricing engine with some heavyduty math, software eng in car manufacturer building an EE tool to visualize hazard parameters after car crash, software eng in bio building tool used for genetic splicing, software eng in pharma building tool for drug identification from trials.

As you see, none of these is management. Regular software engineer, usual BS/MS in Computer Science, not in tech industry, but in some niche field (typical boring East Coast/Midwest/Defense Corridor company), building something niche to support PhDs in the team. The PhDs then give you tons of supporting paperwork that basically says your presence in USA is "in the national interest" & if you don't get EB1 their whole research will come to a halt. If immigration officer buys into that, you get your EB1.
The title is misleading, there is a nontrivial distinction between the Kernel and its source code.
"... have been told to turn off the app while in the hospital."

(This is for England only, I have no idea what the rest of the UK is up to)

The algorithm the app uses is pretty simple and in your case would be going off like a siren nearly daily. It announces itself in the vicinity via bluetooth and listens for similar announcements. Each device has a random, self generated ID and this is changed regularly. If someone gets a positive test and reports via the app then their ID at the time is sent out. Apps will compare their list of known IDs and times they were seen with the positive list. Basically if your app decides that it saw a "positive" ID for something like 15 minutes or more then it will flag it to you. Then it is up to you whether to isolate, get tested etc. It is not an offence to ignore the app but it is if you ignore an official Check and Trace operative.

This is why you are told not to use it at work. The algorithm is designed to work for people going about "normal" life and your life in the NHS is not normal. It can't possibly work for you or my cousin working as a matron in a hospital. The algorithm basically measures exposure and the current thinking is that 15 mins is long enough to flag a warning. So don't stop and chat for ages in the supermarket/park/pub or whatever to your mates - say hi and use a phone later. If you do go to a pub or restaurant then you have to accept that there is a risk.

If you are worried about the sign in QR code thing not having a sign out until midnight, you can create your own home "sign in" to do the same job. See https://www.gov.uk/create-coronavirus-qr-poster .

There is no need for conspiracy theories! The source code is on Github so no need to mess with the apk. You may want to check that the source generates the .apk though. I'm not a fan of some things that have been done here but the new app is the right way to do it in my opinion. It's very, very simple and has no personally identifiable data involved. It's basically one simple rule of thumb that is good enough to semi-automate part of the C&T function. It is not good enough for your trade though and you should not use it at work.

Stay safe.
Hi rogerdickey

It's 67 decks i.e. 1210 slides. It's my understanding that a pitch deck or slide deck contains several slides.

Is the wording confusing or misleading? Please suggest a better one, I'll be happy to fix it (English not my native language).
I meant that it helped distancing on the narrow bike paths. It's not unusual to have a line of bikes at a red light.

It's also meant to encourage biking instead of public transportation, which is what the majority uses to get around.
So I think we have mixed questions here. Let me address the one I know. Each of the major exchanges has a DC in which they will rent space to a 3rd party that will want to trade on the exchange. That market data feed and order execution use BGP & multicast (market data info is in multicast). Order execution can sometimes be a different link outbound. Please note I am generalizing details here sticking to mostly common items. So let’s say you are in the DC and your cage is right next to the Exchanges router so you cross connect is only 10m. So that is 50ns of latency in the path (assuming 10G SR on MM fiber). Your next competitor down from you is 20m away. So they are 100ns of latency. If you are an HFT, well. These people pay to dig through mountains to have the shorter path. What happened was this became a major issue oh, 20 years ago maybe? So what the exchange does is run the exact same length of cable to every drop off. So if you are 10m away and the longest run in the DC is 100m away then every cable run is 100m.

I built a pagerank implementation in Julia many years ago. It was operating on an adjacency list with half a billion edges, and I had to resort to writing a custom reader to get reasonable read speeds over the csv.

The American climate is also different from the Dutch one. The Wisconsin city that I live in has temperatures that are both 15 F hotter and colder than typical northern European cities. And we commute roughly twice as far because our cities are more spread out.

I'm fortunate that I don't sweat very much, my commute is only 4 miles each way, and I can tailor my schedule around the weather. So I start out early before the sun has cleared the trees, and ride slowly. As a result I'm not particularly sweaty when I arrive at work. Also, I have a casual-dress job with no public interaction.

I live on a street that happens to be a preferred route for cyclists commuting to and from the downtown area. So I see a lot of people on bikes. Most of the commuters are in fact just wearing normal street clothes. I don't even own any cycling-specific clothing.
If you are not okay with that outcome as a creator, don't use that license :).

> A company's codebase is a liability, not an asset

Its an asset. Like many (virtually all, other than pure financial) assets, it has associated expenses; maintenance, depreciation, and similar expenses are the norm for non-financial assets.

> Unless you happen to be one of the very rare companies that sells source code and not built artefacts, your asset is the built artefact and your code is the expense you take on to get it.

No, things that are instrumental to producing product are still assets, not just the things that you sell. That's true if its machines on your factory floor, if its the actual real estate of the factory, or vehicles that you use to deliver goods. And all of these assets, like a codebase, have associated expenses.

The whole "code is a liability, not an asset" line is something from people who might understand code, but definitely don't understand assets and liabilities.
Hey zem,

Our goal is to rather become a generic package people can use to make whatever animation or visualization in whichever domain they see fit. We are slowly building out our own showcase of animations based on tutorials we provide the user (see link here for tutorials: https://wikunia.github.io/Javis.jl/stable/tutorials/)

We are also currently seeking contributions to our examples section here: https://wikunia.github.io/Javis.jl/stable/examples/ If you want to contribute, happy to support!
This is part of the reason why, when LCD screens were being introduced as "the new thing" most large shops would not display them side by side with CRTs - so you didn't notice how aspects were much worse, like responsiveness and sharpness.
I am very very pro-nuclear and I don't have any major disagreements with this article. However, any such article needs to also address accidents. I believe the most fervent anti-nukers fear accidents and while you'll never be able to fully placate them you can't allow them to accuse the pro-nuke movement of ignoring it.
It is a reasonable thing to want to keep the kernel stable for custom kernel drivers. So stable kernel space is also important to me.

Ain't it cool? Protection rackets are learning how to do PR and posing themselves as nice guys doing the right thing.

Yelp business model is basically taking the "influencers" game to scale mixed with the mafia "protection" service.

Remember when we were promised the "knowledge of the crowds"? Yelp, Putin and Facebook were smarter and gave us digitally manipulated lynch mobs instead. It seems far easier and more profitable to harness and manipulate ignorance than knowledge.
I found the problem statement and every reply remarkably confusing, because I am not smart. I'd like to give an answer to help fellow not-smart people.

The goal is to prove that you did something in the past -- for example, that you proved a theorem, or that you predicted that COVID would become an issue way back in 2018.

Interestingly, patio11 solved this for COVID: He published a hash of his article, calling out COVID in Japan, to Twitter, which has no edit button. Then a month or so later, he published the article itself, proving that he did in fact write that article a month prior.

It's an old solution, not his. But that's the general idea here.
Ignores the price of inconsistent delivery and the inevitable huge costs of batteries and/or gas peaking plants to supplement the inconsistent power from wind.

Nobody ever factors in these costs to the price of solar or wind, and I find it extremely disingenuous. Nuclear can still be pumping power on a windless sunless day with 100% green energy.

Solar and wind? Either use batteries (expensive, not really renewable) or gas peaking plants (nearly worse than coal, not renewable, expensive).
Multiple dispatch based on static typing only solves a very narrow set of optimization problems - most complex trade offs that would lead to the need for eg multiple different third party csv readers are not addressable at all by multiple dispatch.

I’d also point out that with fused typing in Cython, it’s also trivially easy to get overhead-free multiple dispatch in Python too, and unlike Julia, this had the benefit that it can be a gradual trade off, where you only bother writing the Cython module with autogenerated multiple dispatch implementations based on different types for the ~1% of use cases where it has any impact on the application, and you get the benefit of super easy to develop, flexible Python for everything else, with none of the code liability that comes from describing multiple dispatch generics in the 99% of the code that does not benefit from it.
No. You missed the point.

You're not a stupid person so you being not stupid knows that I and pretty much everyone on the face of this earth knows that we all are aware that no one understands ALL of learning. So if you're not stupid, and you already know this, why did you take the time to point out some pointless flaw in my wording?

I'll tell you why. Because you liked this analogy. You thought it was profound to compare learning to DFS and BFS and fractals and you were sort of offended when someone like me didn't find it profound. Not only do I not find it profound, I find it obvious and trivial. Comparing learning to fractals is like some offhand thought I can have for like 5 seconds than forget about because it's so trivial.

Too each his own man. If this article blew your mind great. It didn't do anything for me.

Here's another analogy for you.

Learning is like traveling down a path and encountering a several forks in the road. You can BFS the paths or you can DFS the paths

Replace Learning with "Life" and remove BFS. In life you can only choose one path every time you encounter a fork and the decision is permanent. No popping the stack like in BFS to try the other paths. It's just DFS all the way to the last final leaf node. You have one life so live it right.

Did that analogy blow your mind? Because I made it up 3 seconds ago. That's how trivial these analogies are.
Then they should explain explicitly how this can be made to happen. As sibling says, patches welcome.

> youtube-dl for YT and it's actually been great

I was interested in doing this too. One issue I found, however, was getting a list of my subscriptions without having to go to the website and fetch the channel IDs or video IDs for youtube-dl to then use.

I also noted that youtube-dl can download from your subscriptions list directly, which is cool. I was going to put that on a cronjob and just let it milk my subscriptions on a daily basis as new videos come out.

I've also been using "Clean Up YouTube", a Firefox plugin, which basically eliminates whatever you want from the UI. For me that's the home screen/trending crap, comments and just about everything. Now I only focus on my subscription feed and move on from YouTube after that. This has helped to drastically reduce the amount of crap I watch.
I mean that source code comes with costs, often substantial, but has no direct benefits.

It's easy for us as developers to think that source code is valuable - but this leads to problems like never removing code "in case it's needed", or with an in-house dev team developing systems you could get off the shelf.

If code is an asset, then it makes a lot more sense to write stuff yourself: you not only get the artefact, you also get the source.

If it's a liability, then it makes a lot more sense to let someone else bear the costs of that liability, especially if they have economies of scale, except where you can't get your desired outcome other than writing code.

This is of course technically incorrect. It's perhaps more accurate to say that source code requires upkeep and is expensive to maintain. That tends to draw less interest and discussion, because it's "obvious." Except as an industry we're overall pretty lousy at paying the required upkeep on code.
One of the interesting possibilities for new nuclear plants is on-site thermal storage. Store heat from the reactor in a heat sink when solar is generating, use the heat to generate power when it isn't. That handles the daily load variation and lets you trade half the required nuclear capacity for cheap solar.

It also means you have more turbines on site than the reactor needs on its own, so you can add a furnace burning whatever you like (hydrogen, biofuels, synthetic methane), and that handles the days when renewable output is below average.
You reminded me how impressive it is, in a way, that Google made the Chrome play knowing it would take years and years to bear any fruit. I’d be interested to learn internally how that got incentivized and managed.
>use them as the basis of the grid and use wind and solar that are more prone to fluctuations to fill up the demand when necessary

Er, how does this work? You can't control when wind and solar produce power, so how can you use them to "fill up the demand when necessary"? If anything, using a fluctuating source on top of already fluctuating demand just increases the amount of power storage you need.

A power source that ramps up and down quickly is more convenient than one that ramps up and down slowly, but both are miles more convenient than one which ramps up and down uncontrollably.

> “ In Julia, you can write something generic and let the compiler specialize it for you, so you get many different ways of applying the same thing for free.”

Python also lets you easily achieve this in many ways - notably fused typing in Cython.
4 hours of 17 Gigwatts would represent 20% of the ~300 GWh global lithium ion battery production [1]. That's a massive storage plant, and such a plant would represent an order of magnitude increase in battery storage. But consider the fact that the US consumes 11.5 TWh of electricity daily. Plans for an economy powered by wind and solar call for anything from 12 hours to 3 weeks of storage depending on how much overproduction we're building.

> An average biking speed for a fairly average beginner is something like 13-14 mph [...] And you’re military. It’s likely you could go 50-75% faster without breaking a sweat.

75% faster than 14mph is 24.5 mph.

Not sure I agree someone can go at that speed for 10km without sweating - unless perhaps they're a pro cyclist.
I think it’s an absolutely insane idea that you’re supposed to use five days of the week working, and then the remaining two working on something else. Weekends are for resting and recovery.

The problem with this approach for many applications is that you can potentially publish many messages and then only tell any about the ones you want to 'keep'. For instance if you want to predict an election outcome, publish hashes for both outcomes under different names and then only tell people about the winning one later on.
The difficulty you had is probably not because you're not smart. It's probably more that the problem statement is not well articulated.
