I sincerely doubt that is on the cards.

You can have a dictatorship, but you will still need people / your crownies. The day the drones are smart enough that they don't need anyone to maintain them and adjust them, maybe they start getting ideas about that one meatbag in charge of them.
Many of my courses are deeply etched in my memories. Static Fields followed by Dynamic Fields in the EE department. A survey course covering Lisp, Snobol, and Prolog. A C99 class covering engineering traffic flow. My first Fortran course where I figured out how to get the compiler to spit assembly language. A course in General Semantics which vastly influenced my thinking. Linear Algebra course, which was the only college math course that I aced.
The beginning circuits course learning about Kirchhoff's law. A control system theory class. And working with my eventual advisor who was studying control feed back systems that caused the Bonneville Power Administration network to oscillate in frequency.

And there was a lot of non-class stuff that you seem to get just hanging around, like the Marshall McLuhan medium talk, Larry Atkins who wrote the champion chess program that ran on the CDC 6600 (No, he would insist, it is not Artificial Intelligence--just good engineering). Reading Dijkstra's paper "GOTO considered harmful" which was absolutely true in spades for Fortran II. Keypunching jobs for running in the batch processing mode of the CDC 6600. And seriously fun co-op jobs.
It's them trying to go backwards. Originally free only worked on desktop. When they allowed mobile on free, a lot of people cancelled their premium. The other really crappy part, premium was only $12 then. I don't really see modern lastpass as 3x more valuable then it was then.

I think they are just betting on enough people staying because people are too scared to swap
How do you apply back pressure? As far as I can tell Go will spawn a goroutine per request (well that's how the standard http lib and grpc seems to do it).

I would like to compute a load factor and refuse new requests. Or do some basic rate limiting. But the coroutine is spawned before I have a say...
Each variant is its own.
xxHash is very different, and I have nothing against any. You obviously want to deflect from mixing them up, your own incompetence.
Ask HN: Companies that are contributing "something good" to the world?
For months (maybe even for a year) I wanted to ask this question, or something similar, but I always felt uneasy to do so.
An hour ago I was browsing through HN and found posts like these:
- “User Engagement” Is Code for “Addiction” (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26153331),
- Does anyone find strange that sport is part of daily news? (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26153670) etc.

Basically, companies are doing whatever it is needed to attract users, keep them as long as possible (I think that's called churn or so), and extract whatever they can from them (money-wise of course).

I'm pretty sure that most companies are responding to the market needs (does this sound too naive?) and that the main goal of companies is to make money (I really dislike this idea, and I even have a bitter feeling in my stomach when I even think of this - but that's how the world works) but - what companies do you know of that are "adding value" to the world?

By that I mean, companies that are doing research and (I guess) selling info/stuff/whatever that are increasing the human knowledge in fields like:
- medical/biotech (Crispr companies; Crispr Therapeutics, Editas Medicine etc.),
- robotics (Boston robotics?),
- physics
- chemistry (there was a hairdresser that invented Starlite, a thermal shielding material. Interesting project. What happened there? )
- mathematics
- aerospace (BOOM, Lilium)
or maybe even
- legal
- ai + language
- ai + medicine
etc.

As often happens here on HN there are heated debates. Please be polite, even when you don't agree.

p.s. Also I'd like (no, scratch that; love) to work for some type of the aforementioned organisation/company (especially if it's something connected with natural, or even technical sciences). That would allow me to extend my self-learning project(s) and I would enjoy doing that kind of a job. One of the things very close to my heart is open-source...
What, if any, repercussions are there for management that does these kinds of things?
how is this a new observation in any way?
>That dichotomy is where the labels right-libertarian[1] and left-libertarian[2] were derived.

This is not quite accurate.

The descendants of anti-authoritarian radical labor-pricing (communist, etc) theorists are generally now called libertarian socialist or simply anarchist.

The term left-libertarian is more often used for derivatives of Georgism (Steiner-Vallentyne, etc) and frameworks promoting employee ownership and union bargaining power within an essentially capitalist economy (mutualism, etc). It might be more appropriately called "center-libertarian", although the bevy of unconventional ideas therein is difficult to reconcile as "center-" anything.

Some libertarian socialists do call themselves "left-libertarian" but more often they seem to reject being lumped in with people who like capitalism (at least a little).
You could get SQLite to work as document files exposed to the user so long as you use sessions[1]. When a file is opened, copy the DB to a temporary file or to use memory and write all changes during operation to this new DB, recording them all in a session. When the user explicitly saves a document, apply the session to the real DB.

While not perfect, Go has much more "developer convergence" than any other language I've worked in. Ruby has numerous ways to do the same thing, but one of Go's design objectives was to minimize that.

So divergence does occur, but some languages make it a lot easier than others.
in spirit perhaps, in practice not so much
You use clusters to render a whole/movie scene when it's finished or in various stages of completion to show to the art directors but you still need powerful workstations to preview your own changes to the scene as you work on it.

Plus, clusters aren't always at your disposal and usually have schedules when you can book them according to priority and not all workflow can be automated and pipelined to fit a cluster. VFX work is not just 3D modelling where you click Render and boom, 2 days later, your scene it's ready to be put on film. There's tons of tasks you need to do pre- and post- production like layout, rigging, motion capture, rotoscoping, comping, etc. and most of these tasks are done manually on the artist's workstation.

I'm sure big houses like ILM, Pixar, Weta, Disney have the money and technical chops to engineer and maintain their own in-house rendering cluster infrastructure but small firms don't and rely on beefy workstations like this to render their project over multiple days.
I don’t have much to add to this discussion except to note that PG has impeccable punctuation but doesn’t capitalise the days of the week. Odd.

> your primary offence was of gross ignorance

Well, I'm here now, trying to correct that.

> You have conflated complex and nuanced concepts—like, say, the recognition of a revolutionary imperative with a general rejection of violence, or the “liberal democracy” with “unrestricted free speech”—and as a result you aren’t able to come to any logical conclusions.

Isn't "liberal democracy" pretty incompatible with political violence (I don't think anyone--fascists or leftists--is talking about a general tolerance[^1] for violence)? And when I said "free speech", I wasn't talking about "unrestricted free speech", but rather the idea that we should minimize restrictions on speech (you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater, but you can say things that offend). Note that there are people who assert that the government should enforce stricter speech codes, but the more common and more disturbing practice is cancellation (or defending the same) of livelihood and healthcare ("Social Consequences") for ideological transgressions while arguing in the next breath that these are basic human rights. I'm not a philosopher, but allowing citizens to deny each other their basic human rights seems (on the basis of speech) seems incompatible with free speech.

> I would definitely recommend taking a step back and considering the validity of the ideas and preconceptions you hold.

I agree, hence this thread. :)

[^1]: I assume you meant "tolerance of violence" rather than "rejection of violence"
> Atoms are as real as it can get

Well put, and also not any specific degree of real, if you accept that the simulation hypothesis can't be disproven. The specific 'real' discovered properties of atoms or spacetime are actually artifacts of simulation.
Go has shared memory between threads while JavaScript has to serialize data between threads. Both Go and JavaScript have parallel garbage collectors, but Go's heap is shared between all threads while JavaScript has a separate heap per JavaScript thread.

This is a good point and raises a good point: There's a big difference between cooperating to provide footage of a crime vs providing a surveillance tool.

I'd be more than happy to provide my camera's footage of a timeframe when a crime was committed. But, providing real time access to my camera before any crime is committed? That is exactly the big brother scenario I don't want my kids to grow up in.
Similarly, newly built or renovated houses will have some "new house" smell, which is also VOCs. I have been told there is a cultural difference between China and the U.S., where Chinese people will let a house be empty for a few weeks to get rid of the smell before moving in (since the chemicals are believed to be bad for your health), while in the U.S. people don't seem to be concerned by them.
What format would you rather the model be saved in? ONNX is the most cross platform and standard as far as I know, and it's also what we use internally.

I'm actually currently working on a user mode FS using Dokan for Windows that saves everything to a SQLite file for similar reasons. NTFS just doesn't do well at all with lots of small files.
Idk about other areas but I suspect my local stations are fairly representative of at least the north eastern quarter of the US. All of them burn the better part of a minute with a 'teaser' piece that reveals essentially nothing, early in the half hour. Then about mid way through they burn what must be a solid 4 minutes at least with all manner of fluff. This is when there are no extreme events. If they just stuck to the next 24 hours, and then maybe a brief look at the "7 day" just for the general trends, they could stick that in place of the dreaded teaser, and even repeat it later (in case you missed it) and easily shrink it by 75%
Another commenter already identified the meat of the problem; you were restricted access to computers, whereas your children are not. Here is an article about that exact conundrum, on the concept of "antagonistic learning": https://medium.com/@ThingMaker/educ-103-antagonistic-learnin...

If you DM me, I will be happy to send you a list of similar essays that explore the concept of learning and teaching and why it's done poorly these days. I suggest you start with the essays and writing of John Taylor Gatto; his writings were ludicrously inspirational to me. Here is the first article I ever read that made me realize that I was a deficient learner and had never truly engaged in learning: https://www.cantrip.org/gatto.html

Consider that Roblox and Youtube are essentially slot machines for dopamine. If you want to engage with your children as creative, disciplined learning machines, they must be weaned off of addictive superstimulus-coded platforms, which is damn near impossible given the tech demands of modern school. I don't have any advice for you on that front, except that the more time you can spend with them the better. Perhaps you can start by playing Roblox and watching YouTube videos with them (taking care to only offer them positive and genuinely interested feedback on what they choose to do), and after they've built you into their habits, begin steering them towards more productive activities.
The purpose of copyright is exactly to make money.

Ok first,I’m impressed someone is monetising their HN comments. But this entire argument is ridiculous, Comma AI’s transparency isn’t a positive compared to traditional car companies. Traditional car companies aren’t transparent because the expectations of a customer is “I buy the product and it works”. Transparency isn’t a substitute for well designed and tested products. Comma AI has a massive advantage over car companies- they have no intention of following industry standard design procedures to ensure they don’t kill people- instead they sell their software with a sticker saying “if you kill someone you don’t know us”.

I won’t be derisive as this author claims I would be, I’ll be serious. I’ve worked on autonomous driving solutions with traditional car companies, they move slower because BMW means something and they know it’ll mean death if they fuck up. Comma AI haven’t learned from the industry they’re trying to replace. This is the continual edge that Silicon Valley has over the rest of the world - they’re happy to just use legal arbitrage to gain an advantage and then pivot once their advantage is entrenched. It’s thus ridiculous “how were we supposed to know this would happen” excuse that’s trotted out all the time that’s absolute self serving bullshit.
Your art is beautiful, thanks for sharing.
In tandem with https://github.com/cortesi/devd I've found it a good setup for web development.

Modd watches file changes and rebuilds, while Devd enables livereload, letting me make changes in my text editor and then see the rendered changes in the browser, side-by-side, in near real-time.

This is for go web development but I'm pretty sure these two tools are language-agnostic.
LastPass seem to be shooting themselves in the foot with their irrational and inconsistent pricing.

- A few years back, their free/premium tiers were looking similar to what they announced today. Only they charged a mere $15/year for premium, which I gladly paid.

- Then, overnight, they offered syncing across all types of devices for their free tier. The premium tier was only adding some niche features. I would have continued to pay $15/year just to support them, but at the same time they bumped up premium to $36/year. That was a deal-breaker: not paying 2.5x for features I don't use.

- Now, they switch back to not syncing across all types of devices, but the premium price stays $36/year.

If LastPass was the only game in town, they might get away with it. But there are at least two competitors, against which LastPass doesn't compare favourably: 1Password costs about the same, but is more refined. Bitwarden is a bit less refined, but is cheaper.

I'm not dissatisfied with the LastPass product itself. But having to keep up with radical policy changes every few years largely negates any positive experience.

I don't see how you can have an expectation of privacy when moving through the street and entering / exiting buildings. How is this morally different than if a busybody lived across the street from PP and make a habit of keeping an eye on the door so (she?) could gossip about her observations at book club. This behavior is most certainly rude, but legal. It seems strange to argue this is immoral but hold the underlying crimes being recorded as immoral. The anti-reporting stance seems to be a veiled argument that the entire law is illegitimate.
This essay almost made me cry. Beautifully written and just explaining what he worked on and his reasoning behind it step by step. It really feels like he just followed that youthful, gut feeling every step of the way. Crazy.
To me his story of going into painting in his twenties, while having never been interested in visual arts before, spending on and off time on it for years and eventually abandoning it in his forties sounds like a story of internal vs external motivation. He WANTED to like painting, because "he could create something eternal", "he wouldn't have a boss", he made himself interested in it, but in the the end his natural proclivity for conceptual/abstract (and not visual) thinking won over and computers and writing completely dominated his creative efforts. They must have been just intrinsically rewarding for him, as opposed to being "good on paper" like painting was.
At one job we used to joke "i don't care if it's right, as long as it's fast"

Of course, it was only half a joke. For some pages, we really did want data quickly, so we were willing to accept stale data or somewhat inaccurate data, it that helped. For other pages/sections, accuracy was more important so caching wasn't possible or invalidation was critical.

But product design is always about tradeoffs between what features are desirable, what features are possible, what features are easy to build, and how features interact. Features that are possible but not easy to build can sometimes be replaced with features that are easy to build and close enough.

"marathon + death" is much harder than normal Factorio. I agree that it's a bit of a weird data point to bring up ("in a harder game mode it took a significant amount of time") without further reference (such as how long the full run took) though.
IANAL, that said I guess this falls under the "not going to complain about free marketing" category, even if they technically could. From the eyes of the biggest IP holders there is little chance of someone mistaking their creations for the work of someone else, and preserving the roots in pop culture is probably valued much higher than licensing.

Not tattoos, but games look at a similar situation with videos and streaming, most companies welcome the free advertising or encourage it heavily. But there are gaming companies famous for exercising a strong grip on content creation, most prominently japanese companies likes ATLUS [1].

I have also used multiple shared Keepass files at work and the issue isn't a lack of smoothness. There have been multiple instances of sync/dataloss issues where you have to refer to an old version or find someone who has the latest "OK" version of the file.

I love Keepass for personal use, but if you using it for sharing passwords at work then 1Password or Bitwarden are the way to go.

I am not sure I understand your use of the word "symptom". Being syncretistic, by itself, is clearly not indicative of fascism (as you point out all religion is syncretistic to some extent, so is art, etc.), but if you see many of the symptoms that Eco describes - not just syncretism, but also traditionalism, irrationalism, uniformity of thought, fear of difference, populism, nationalism, etc. - then syncretism becomes part of your "fascism" diagnosis. By themselves these things can be part of various strands of political thought, only together are they Ur-Fascism.

Just like a headache, by itself is not indicative of a disease, but can be a clue in combination with other symptoms.
