Very cool.

Consider the paper's abstract: "We introduce TLDR generation, a new form of extreme summarization, for scientific papers. TLDR generation involves high source compression and requires expert background knowledge and understanding of complex domain-specific language. To facilitate study on this task, we introduce SciTLDR, a new multi-target dataset of 5.4K TLDRs over 3.2K papers. SciTLDR contains both author-written and expert-derived TLDRs, where the latter are collected using a novel annotation protocol that produces high-quality summaries while minimizing annotation burden. We propose CATTS, a simple yet effective learning strategy for generating TLDRs that exploits titles as an auxiliary training signal. CATTS improves upon strong baselines under both automated metrics and human evaluations. Data and code are publicly available at this https URL."

The algorithm summarizes it as:

“We introduce TLDR generation, a new form of extreme summarization, for scientific papers that produces high-quality summaries while minimizing annotation burden.”
I was about to comment something very similar.

I grew up in the UK and that sort of thing was often viewed as just a step away from the nationalism of the nazis.
Nice work. I personally use Arq, which supports SFTP. And like you, I backup to a remote server over which I have no control. Arq is really desktop software, however.

"Mostly" isn't good enough if you're talking about police. To paraphrase Chris Rock, some jobs just can't have any bad apples. They're too sensitive.

Wow, was this written in 1995 or something?

"The web" today is Facebook and Instagram and exploitative mobile games. Not what you want your kids to be exposed to.
The classic example would be real-time applications where hard envelopes in terms of response times are required and GC pauses must _never_ happen. But even in these cases it is possible to do a lot:

- write garbage-free code (reuse objects and byte buffers, allocate memory off the Java heap and store the pointers in `long`s)

- use a GC that doesn't pause and carefully profile the app to ensure the GC can keep up with the rate of memory allocation

- turn off the GC and cross fringers if the app crashing is considered better than not responding

It's just difficult because most software is written using software patterns that require a GC, which is perfectly fine for many domains.
You know well it's because we as a people are mentally and morally deficient to the core.
I might be missing something, but k6 should be able to completely cover all of your use cases? I am one of the k6 developers, can you share exactly what the missing piece was?

> tests that would run much much more often (like every seconds or couple of seconds), in a continuous manner.

You can do that, just use an arrival-rate executor that runs an iteration every second, with a test duration of 365 days or something like that :) See https://k6.io/docs/using-k6/scenarios/arrival-rate

> Tue goal was to have something at the same time like a healtcheck (is it still working), like a performance test (does it answer in a timely manner) and like a validation test (does it answer the right result - the endpoints we wanted to test do "complex calculations"). Our best answer so far was to wrap K6 in an infinite loop, but I wonder if there could be something smarter.

You can certainly wrap k6 in an infinite loop. Nothing wrong with that, though you can probably use the `scenarios` feature (with long `duration` values) to achieve it without wrapping k6: https://k6.io/docs/using-k6/scenarios
This is a good point - it is essentially a distributed multiple comparisons problem, further compounded by lots of dubious assessments of significance.
To be fair to the person you're responding to, the goalposts look to have been "disrupt a large existing industry." "Large" is obviously subjective, but if the example of the disrupted industry is the watch industry, "the watch industry isn't large so it doesn't count" is a reasonable response within the constraints of the original goalposts.
If you mean AMD couldn't match what Apple was willing to pay when you say "Apple was the only customer willing to pay", then absolutely. Otherwise, when push comes to shove in a bidding war with Apple, I don't think AMD really has a chance.

ETA (& edited again to fix): If you read it while listening to the YT video in the sibling comment, you can follow along: the A section is the first two double-staves (and you can see the alternate endings and the "3ci" (trzeci) in the middle-right of the page). The B section, on the bottom-right quarter of the page, starts for the first time at 0:40 in the YT recording and goes to 1:08 or so. The C section, which is mostly crammed into the left half of the bottom two double-staves but also some stuff in the middle-left of the page, runs about 1:48 to 2:43.
Maybe it's easier for development if they're individual? Who knows? As a user the number of files needed for an application is irrelevant. Maybe the dictionary that Word uses for the spellchecker doesn't need to be a part of the executable, so if they want to update it, they can replace just that file and they don't have to make you download the entire program again?
This strikes me as a very elitist article.

Bill Gates wants to help the 99% by improving school life for them. This article argues that instead of slightly raising the average among the 99%, we should instead help the top 1% and given that we now focus our budget on a lot less people, each of them will see bigger improvements.

Among other things, the article says "healthy childhood of few concerns without the relegation to daycare is the root of greatness". Unless they are independently wealthy before having kids, most normal parents will need daycare because they still need to work for money.

My personal opinion is that recent years have clearly shown us that we live in a winner takes all system and that wealth doesn't usually dribble down. Large companies keep billions in profit offshore, where they don't pay taxes (that could help education) and where the money surely won't help the middle class find jobs with livable wages.
At least one does, but yeah I’m not sure how much that audience intersects.

I’ve also seen fancy specialized brand bikes with internal motors that give out an extra 250w of power. I suspected they were for older people that want to keep up on rides.

It's not like that. Israel and Iran are in a covert war, no?

Also, Iran's government has seemingly shown over and over again that they are violent and cannot be trusted with nuclear power. Don't you think?

I'm not saying killing this scientist was good or correct, I'm just saying it's not even close to the analogy you provided.
Slightly alarmed by the implied air-quotes around "security". Does the author think there's no need for security? That it's not important?

A large chunk of the problems we have now are because no-one thought about security in the 80's and 90's when the various protocols we use were being invented.

It was only kinda safe because not connected to the internet. As soon as the internet came along all those simple protocols got abused royally, and all those simple OS's got pwned routinely.

> So it's more correct to say that local generation is 100% renewable, not total energy consumption.

In actual fact even local generation is not 100% renewable, they have a small quantity of gas generation too. For example Tamar valley gas power station is running right now - and effectively being exported to Victoria.

"100% renewable" in the sense that generation of renewable electrical energy is more than 100% of electrical energy consumption. It seems like the most straightforward way to account for it.

I always liked a short story I read in a women's magazine of the wife who killed the husband with fatty foods and heart desease.

I thought it was full proof until a famous socialite was accused of this.

Always wondered if they copied the story, or the police copied the story or ways to kill is a smaller space than you intuitively think.

If you focus on the absolute rate, going from 0.002% to 0.005% in a year is bad, but you still have a lot of runway before it becomes the worse choice.

I basically use the same setup (an old mbp paired with a beefy linux workstation for remote development) and the only things that keep me from migrating away to a thinkpad running linux is because I'm still doing some ios and mac development. But so far remote development with vscode is working great with very low friction. It feels like I'm working locally even when I'm outside my home network.
>The reason I've done this is disk space. Some software is bad at getting rid of things that they've cached (eg Chrome). Theyend up taking more and more and more and more disk space. I don't understand why my browser needs to take up 10-20 GB of disk space, if it can't even retain 7 months of history.

But then you just hide your bad caching design from users by only "showing" what you're doing wrong to those that understand SQL. And those users can still change it.

You should test your app for random cache permutations (user changes .dat file in the wrong way) and partial cache loss (user deletes random file). You have to assume that anything that can be broken will be broken.

You're mixing up what Cherenkov radiation is. Cherenkov radiation is light that is emitted by particles going faster than the local speed of light.

You're not supposed to measure the speed of the Cherenkov radiation. You're supposed to measure the particles that are causing Cherenkov radiation.

If you measure those fast particles, you'll see that they will cross a tank of water just as fast as they will cross a tank of vacuum. They can cross faster than a beam of light will.

I've worked with people in tech who dropped out, and people with bachelors, masters, and phD, and those with degrees in the arts. I personally have a bachelors in computer engineering.

I'm sure there's surviorship bias, but the people who dropped out are probably some of the best. There's certainly some value in a CS/CE bachelor's curriculum, and occasionally, something would come up where knowledge from a course was useful; but mostly a 4 year degree in CS/CE is a certificate of sticking to hard things that are computer related. You've probably got some project under your belt that shows you can stick to hard things that are computer related, even if it's not as formalized.

If it really bothers you, work through The Art of Computer Programming by Knuth. If it bothers you a little, but not that much, maybe borrow it from a library and look through the table of contents and read a few sections that look interesting.
I’m also a college dropout (granted, I’m orders of magnitude less wealthy compared to Gates) but I don’t have any beliefs in the “power of college”. As a matter of fact, that “power” evaporated pretty quickly 20 years ago while I was attending one of most prestigious CS schools in my country and when I saw that the powers that be were doing absolutely nothing to handle/address the student suicides that were happening during each exam session (presumably because of the stress).

This is gross. I don’t care if this is true or not — someone is dead and people that knew that person (including many on HN) are grieving. Surely, the judgment-filled “how’s” from someone who created an account just to rip on a dead person can wait. If you’re too much of a coward to put this under your usual username or even own it under your full name, that’s a sign to me that this sort of comment doesn’t belong here.

The CEOs response doesn't inspire any confidence:

If you statically or dynamically link any part of the k6 codebase with some other code (a derivative work), the license’s copyleft virality is triggered and that other code also needs to be made available under AGPLv3. When it comes to using the k6 binary and interacting with it from another process or over a network it is not certain exactly how the copyleft virality would apply from what I’ve been told by lawyers with OSS license knowledge.

> We can see that there is a perfect exponential 7% rate of growth starting in September and slowly decaying after. But more than that, the rate of growth in hospitalizations and deaths also follows the same pattern almost perfectly but with a 5 day and 16 day delay, respectively!

What locale is this graph from? Because it does not at all match.. let's say, the US, where there's now been 3 peaks and the number of daily cases doubled each peak, but the daily deaths was highest in the first peak. They are not growing at remotely the same rate over here, even with a 5 or 16 day delay.

> Women, who have primary responsibility for childcare, have borne the brunt of pandemic-induced job losses and insecurity. They're also at greater risk of domestic violence, which help centers say has worsened here this year, as it has around the world.

Lockdowns might be justified in larger context, and at its core the issue of domestic abuse is orthogonal to health and safety measures, but let’s remember the silent victims (regardless of gender) around the world who during lockdowns (whether soft or hard) are likely suffering more.

Edited first paragraph since thankfully I have misread the statistic, but I stand by the sentiment.
Agreed. Also, there is a spectrum between extreme skeptisism vs not questioning at all

For instance, getting back to the egg example, questioning what is the best way way to boil the egg can reveal to you a few known unconventional methods. But then you are on square 1 again, are you going to question those newly learned methods that others have put so much time in figuring out or just conform and accept them as they are?

The point is, it's not a black a white situation: I care for X, I don't care for Y. It's more of a: I care a little for X, I care a lot for Y and I don't give a damn about Z. Leading you to questioning various topics in different depth
This was to be expected. Israel has been keeping tabs on this guy for a very long time. With Trump on the way out and Biden likely to restart the nuclear deal, Israel's and the UE's fear of Iran pushing a clandestine weapons program would be at an all-time high.

This actually kills three birds with one stone:

- Massive setback in Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions.

- Hobbles negotiations for any future nuclear deal with Iran.

- Iran's rhetoric following this will likely be helpful in wooing the Saudi crown prince further to the Israeli side, and possibly help bring more Arab nations over (perhaps even Egypt? They've had softer words of late).

But it had to happen before Biden takes office. Now Iran will be isolated for another decade, possibly more, which is exactly what Israel's foreign policy has been in this area.

That is a literal interpretation of the words "climate change denier."

It's meaning in the cultural zeitgeist, however, has evolved to include people who don't deny that the climate does change over time, or even is currently changing; but, who deny the science supporting anthropogenic climate change, specifically the clear impacts to atmospheric CO2 starting during the industrial revolution and driven primarily by fossil fuel emissions.

Essentially, I think most people would agree at this point that the common usage also includes people who deny we can/should do anything about climate change, or that the current situation vis-a-vis greatly accelerated climate change is our "fault."

The records re: CO2 are not hard to find, they come from ice cores and date back ~800,000 years.

Apple did implement this easier memory model without data sharing because instead of ibm their plan is to get rid of amd64.

That's one of the main uses, yes. Although k6 gives you a lot of flexibility to decide what your pass/fail criteria are with its custom metrics ( https://k6.io/docs/using-k6/metrics#custom-metrics ), checks (https://k6.io/docs/using-k6/checks) and thresholds ( https://k6.io/docs/using-k6/thresholds ).

See the example in https://github.com/loadimpact/k6/#checks-and-thresholds. If, at the end of the test run, some of these rules (encoded as `thresholds`) were unsatisfied, k6 will exit with a non-zero exit code (and thus fail your CI check):
- The 95th percentile of all HTTP request durations should be be less than 500ms
- The 99th percentile of all HTTP request durations that were tagged with `staticAsset:yes` should be less than 250ms
- The failure rate of the checks should be less than 1%, although if it's more than 5% the test will abort immediately.
