We don't know what anything or anyone else experiences internally. But we know enough to make some good guesses.

Plants lack a brain, the organ responsible for thoughts. There's no more reason to think they have thoughts than a cell inside your body, or a computer. All three can process stimuli and communicate.

"Screaming" is editorializing for page views. They found some plants will produce an ultrasonic click every few minutes when dry or when cut. Because it's sound, and because we're looking at it with a human bias, some articles used the term "scream". But it's similar to when plants release chemical signals to communicate. Just because it's sound, it doesn't indicate they subjectively feel pain anymore than chemical signals would. (And chemical signals are used by cells in your body, and that also isn't evidence for consciousness.)
I think in this case the complexity of the interface tests will need to be as complex as the code itself, so you are back to the same quality issues but with the test framework itself.
So...it could be assumed that everyone at Intel is extraordinary, but I think especially right about now, one could argue they are mostly pretty ordinary?
You don’t have the Mr. Fusion upgrade? Run that sucker on trash. Had it since 2015.
If you're going to do this, buy a Pixel so you can have the bare minimum in secure hardware.

And consider GrapheneOS.
To some extent, but plutonium is relatively rare. Because it's radioactive an it decays, there isn't that much in nature. You can make some as a byproduct of uranium fission reactors, but again, I believe collecting and refining it takes a lot of energy... You could always cover your roof in solar panels. They could potentially last 40 years, and the cost is anywhere between 10K to 20K installed. It's relatively affordable amortized over a 30-year mortgage, and considering it produces usable power.
Good marketing books with more substance than Seth Godin's
I suspect that sneaking it into prepared foods is easier (detail doesn't matter quite as much) and high volume (people who don't care what they eat), while presenting it solo is more difficult (needs to look/feel/taste/smell just right) and lower volume (people who make an effort to avoid meat).
Why life insurance is nonsense
What's the first step in solving this?

Maybe list out my dependencies and spend one day a week auditing the most-risky, least-popular ones? Random audits where I make sure that my vendored dependencies or files like Cargo.lock haven't changed when I wasn't looking?

Do something like Firefox did with Graphite, and compile as many dependencies as possible into a webasm sandbox so they can't do I/O?

Years ago I thought "Haskell's I/O discipline is cool, but man it looks inconvenient..." Now I wonder if that will become the mandate for new languages. I imagine it's hard to enforce in native code. At least Rust has a strong foundation for both running, and running as, wasm, so maybe in the future it'll be easy to say "Run this function / these functions in a sandbox, nevermind the cost, and write all the glue code for me."

Ironicially, a webasm runtime, especially if it has a JIT, is far too large a project for me to audit on company time... but at least it's also very popular.
Plutonium was generated in reactors in the US but those were all shut down by the late 80s. It's not an easy thing to just mine or make more of there were whole reactors basically dedicated to just what we have left today. In fact we're kind of running out of the stuff for scientific missions, NASA only has enough for one RTG left according to reports.

Not a technical counter argument, but surely this is a trifle in the grander scheme of things? The hard things about programming, such as modularization at a high level and verification of user input, are orders of magnitude more important than quirks like these?

(And if we broaden our view to include more of software engineering in general, like solving the right problems and validating hypotheses with fast feedback, it seems even more insignificant.)
>Even the US bison figures you cite predate the massive rise in industrial CO2 emissions, greatly reducing our budget

"Cows are a major driver of climate change" and "Cows are the part of the CO2 budget that is most expendable" are related, but not quite equivalent arguments.
> And that will work fine for 1 person or 10 people but not 100 people or the 1000 in that rent controlled building in NYC, because you don't have a Manhattan's worth of jobs for working people in some suburb in New Jersey. Sure, some people can afford the car, the insurance, the gas, the parking, the hours a day commuting, but for those that can't, they end up on the street.

You’ve got it backwards. There’s not enough jobs in Manhattan for all the people who want to live there. The unemployment rate in NYC this time two years ago (before pandemic) was 4.2%. In Iowa it was 2.7%. In December 2020 NYC unemployment was over 11%. In the rest of NY it was 5.9%. In Iowa it was 3.1%.

Cities like NYC are a Mecca for yuppie jobs. For the most part, they are shitty places for normal people to find work.

> In some areas, like in CA, you really don't save very much at all going out to the suburbs.

That’s because California is the epicenter of bad ideas about housing policy: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-broughel-hamilto.... I live an hour outside DC and you can buy a 3BR family home for 3x median family income in the county. In CA it’s like 7-8x even in the suburbs.
The first nuclear bombs cost billions of dollars each.

I wish I could say that’s a good thing. But no, after the first of them, nuclear weapons seem to have justified their own existence, no matter the cost.

I would rather see remaining weapons material repurposed as deep-space power sources. If that were to solve problems.

Anyhow, Perseverance makes me happy.

I think you answered your own question. Those `if` constructs are indeed clunky. In fact I'd venture to say it's really just "C-like language Stockholm syndrome" that makes them feel more "maintainable" or "clear".

The bash "or" syntax reads very clearly. Do X or do Y. Do X or fail like so. It's very English-like and intuitive. And understanding why it works is just a matter of understanding logical operator short circuiting, which you have to understand to work in C-like languages anyway.
Not blaming them. Please quote where I blamed them.

They are emblematic of just how wrong things have gone in this country. We live in a time where our young are being indoctrinated into socialism and Marxism by our schools. These are philosophies that have caused until pain and suffering in nearly all corners of this world. We actively have people escaping various veins of these ideologies to come to the US. Once here, they can't comprehend how our young are being sold such nonsense. Pure indoctrination.

My own son was nearly forced to take a class on Marxism at one of the top tech schools in the US as a condition for graduation with an engineering degree. I say "nearly" because the way they did it was "soft". He had to take a humanity and the only class available for a year and a half was "Young Karl Marx". So, go to Marxism class or graduate a year and a half later. Disgusting.

Anyone who thinks these ideas are, in any way, good, has not lived under them. I have. Most of my family has. Friends have. Neighbors have. To call Socialism and Marxism "dangerous bullshit" is to be kind. The problem is the US has no clue what they are walking into. And so people like Bernie, AOC and others are idolized and supported instead of being laughed out of every possible corner of influence in this country.

The average high school graduate in the US is barely good enough to stack boxes in a warehouse or, maybe, make coffee. No financial education. No understanding of business. No marketable skills at all. That's what we are producing by the millions every year. Imagine what we could do if we graduated kids with solid financial, entrepreneurial, business and other chops. It would be absolutely amazing.
I've had some bone headed and careless mistakes make it into production, especially when I was a junior dev, but it was always something that messed up performance or functionality, e.g. a front end widget not responding or an unhandled API parameter.

When it came to user security I _never_ fucked around. I have about 6 years of experience now and consider a trivial and catastrophic mistake like this unconscienably reckless. Never mind 20 years and experience working at a FAANG company.
Show HN: NNext.net – A Firebase-like managed vector storage for ML applications
Hi HN. Peter here. As a machine learning engineer, I mostly think in terms of feature vectors, embeddings, and matrices. One of the most useful byproducts of deep neural networks is embeddings because they allow us to represent high-dimensional data in terms of lower-dimensional latent vectors. These feature vectors can be used for downstream applications like similarly search, recommendation systems and near duplicate detection.

As an ML engineer, I was frustrated by the lack of a datastore in which vectors are first-class citizens. As a result, most ML engineers, including myself, end up using awkward workarounds to store vectors such as arrays in SQL/NoSQL databases, stringifying vectors and storing them as text in in-memory-based caching systems such as Redis ETC. Furthermore, these systems don't allow for vector-based query operations such as nearest neighbor search. Consequently, engineers have to deploy additional approximate nearest neighbor search systems such as Facebook's FAISS or Spotify's ANNOY. These systems, while nifty and fast, are difficult to install and are costly to maintain.
To address these issues, I built NNext, a managed vector datastore in which vectors are first class citizens. NNext, allows you to store vectors along with any json-blob metadata. Furthermore, NNext comes with a fast approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) search capability.

I would love to get feedback on your experience as Data Scientist or ML engineer storing feature vectors and ANN systems. Please shoot me an email at [redacted].
The thing is that without read/write or net permissions, a malitious script that turns your computer into a mining rig will throw because it can't connect to any server or use your filesystem. We already expose CPU to third party code, doing the same for GPU is trivial in that sense if you remove the possibility to do anything with it without your consent
Incremental snapshots work fine for me even from the base ZFS (i.e. not OpenZFS) in FreeBSD 12 to a Linux box with OpenZFS.

Also, if you're comfortable with the command line, I fail to see any reason you would prefer FreeNAS over straight up FreeBSD.
Synthetic meat investor B. Gates calls for countries to shift to synthetic meat
The overwhelming majority (95-99%, from what I can find) of cattle in the United States are fed corn or soy. 98% of soy and 48.7% of all corn grown in the United States are used to feed livestock. Corn is the top crop in the US and soy is #6. Replacing these monocultures with a variety of vegetables would do a great deal to improve farming sustainability in the country.

Additionally, the decay product of Pu-238 is U-234. Though a relatively 'safe' alpha emitter, it's half-life is ~200,000 years.

Note: With alpha emitters, it's 'safe' if it's outside your body, your skin can absorb it. But once you eat or inhale it, you get the full blast right into the quickest dividing cells in your body.

And Visual Basic itself had them 23 years ago as well.

I think it's possible combined with ethical farming practices I could be convinced it's not so bad to eat starfish arms (although they don't sound very appetizing).

Floats? What does R=255.0, etc. mean when the other example has R=1.0?

Precision has nothing to do with it, the scale isn't even defined... which was my point.
Not quite. For a power plant the rate is ~0.059 tons CO2 per MMBtu of natural gas, coal is ~0.105 tons per MMBtu (different for bit, sub, etc.), and oil is around ~0.081 (although, like coal, it varies).

Now, in a power plant context, modern gas plants are going to be more efficient and have better heat rates than their coal and oil equivalents, so you do generally need less total MMBtu input to get an equivalent amount of generation out. But if you’re burning the same amount in terms of energy content, the difference when it comes to only CO2 is not as large as you’re saying.
The poop problem is certainly made easier by the fact that the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers poop in toilets, in specially designated rooms, that are directly connected to the sewers. And the poop gets flushed out of the toilet immediately. We also don't generally make humans work without bathroom breaks.

Decomposing poop takes time, and it's pretty awful to be around while it's happening. Also, for something to decompose into the ground, it needs to reach the ground, which it's not going to do if the street is paved.
Not really, it's all artificially produced and would require generation of lots of power (it comes from reactors) to produce it at scale. The only times we used to do it at any reasonable scale was for nuclear weapons. It's also restricted by treaty because of this.

Problem is you have to fork subshells if here is any sequencing involved. Compare

if condition ; then
command1
command2
else

GNU Bash has a fix for that: non-forking braces.
I was served better food in a war zone. This is on the officers for not looking out for their soldiers and making immediate changes.
So your first example was clearly a bad example. This was a better example.

But even so, this is a lousy example since x is already defined at the top. So the for loop could theoretically use the defined x already.

I think what you're looking for is something akin to the following in C:

int x = 5;
for (int x=0; x<10; x++) {
int y = x;
}

But I would argue that this is terrible C code since the inner x shadows the outer scope leading to confusion as to which x the loop is iterating on. But you could also write the for loop like this:

for (x<0; x<10; x++) { ... }

So C doesn't dictate the scope of the loop which could be argued by your standards, even more confusing than python. Python just says your scope is just function level. Subtle C code changes can create scoping bugs.

So even the scoping example your trying to use is fraught with issues for new developers. Is "function-level" scoping better than "C-style" scoping say? I tend to think that function level scoping forces developers to simplify their code as it discourages symbolic shadows.
I mean no offense, but you obviously know nothing about electronics, what prompted you to write an article on such a specialised subject ?
I can't tell if you're joking, but in case anyone else is wondering: Most people can perceive between 30-60 frames per second. Some (mostly gamers) reportedly perceive up to 120 frames per second. Though whether this counts as recording is a matter for philosophers.

This is many orders of magnitude more than that.

I'm not sure those are the amenities that would signify a high end apartment; which probably tracks with the dilution of the brand. Those amenities are pretty standard for most corporate housing, (ex. Avalon's 55 9th[1] has those amenities, but doesn't market itself has luxury).

Compare that building with the 181 Fremont[2] in SOMA which has a several private lounges, a doorman, a building concierge, and valet parking. Several other building in that area, such as the Avery[3] do have pools. I'd consider that 181 Fremont would still be a luxury offering in a city like Chicago where the housing market isn't insane.

However, despite the range the building offerings, most units still rent out for $55-75/sqft.

Greetings!

For the past year, I've been working on various review analysis projects. Last week, I finally got access to OpenAI, so I thought it would be cool to see how well it summarizes YouTube reviews.

I'm a huge MKBHD fan and thought it would be fun to see how well OpenAI summarizes his videos. The results are pretty amazing to me. Almost too good.

Very off-site backup.
To add to the OP:
you can use '(' and ')' for grouping, so this is possible too:

( foo && bar && baz ) || ( fallback1 && fallback2 ) || echo 'Argh, even fallback failed!'

Using parentheses is also preferred for readability.
The vast majority of people back then were working even more boring and less creative jobs.

Calling a position a joke, and calling that a fact, is not very persuasive. I can't tell if you're a troll, or just a lousy debater, but you're trying to win the argument by default. You don't get to do that, at least not here. Either some evidence or some argument would strengthen your position; drive-by dismissive mockery just makes you look lazy and unwilling to actually engage in substantive conversation.

"The problem with notetaking is that we don’t look back at 99% of our notes."

Can you answer why this is the case? Is there a disconnect between what we initially capture (thinking it's valuable) vs what ends up being valuable? Is it too hard to find stuff?

I've tried the graph-based note taking apps like Roam, and while clever, it just didn't click for me, I felt like I would get lost navigating around. Also, Roam is adding so many features that it feels like a messy toolbox rather than a cohesive product, I can't spend the time learning all the doo-dads, I need to do my work.

The ideal notetaking solution for me would be one where I can search and filter it however I want (with saved filters), and easily switch between typed notes and handwritten notes from my ipad (with a means to convert handwritten to typed for searchability and sharing).
It's all nebulous. No one even agreed on what Web 2.0 meant, it's only in retrospect that we think we know.

If we were really sticking to versions being meaningful we probably should have bumped a version when frontend UI frameworks and javascript began dominating web application development, since best I could tell at the time Web 2.0 was just the addition of flat design and ajax calls.
