I spent the whole Friday evening and night trying to figure out, why my Mouse does not work plugged into a USB port on my Thunderbolt 3 Dock connected to my laptop with a Nvidia GPU.

Turns out it was Nvidia’s driver fault all along. This happened now so often to me, that for the next times I will just always first look whether the Nvidia driver has some bug, before I try to figure out something myself.
Food in America is cheap. Transportation is pretty cheap because gas is cheap and old Japanese cars are low maintenance. At $15/hour healthcare is cheap because everywhere in the US has subsidized healthcare through the ACA.
Did lambda@edge finally move lambda function execution to the edge cloudfront POPs? For years it actually ran them in the closest AWS region.
My mum had a mechanical typewriter and yes it would do that. However English has no formal diacritics. We do have shit loads of borrow words from French and others that do have them.

If the back tick on the en_GB keyboard is a sop for the grave accent, then why do we not have an acute accent available as well? or a cedilla for that matter?
So, by your own admission, you’re basing your criticism of Joe Rogan on hearsay? Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with interviewing controversial people. Maybe I’m in the minority these days but I personally like hearing contrarian views because it allows me to form my own opinion on people and subjects without relying on others to tell me what to believe.
Just had a meeting with some students looking to outsource some dataset validation work. I had them time themselves for a couple hours doing it themselves, and we found that seeing aside am hour a day for a couple weeks will get them through everything... And they'll end up with higher quality data than they'll get from outsourced validation, with a better idea of the pitfalls of the dataset.
Looks like it might even be better? I'm not quite sure but the mnemonics are longer so they must be better ;)

Does Julia have a JIT? If so, maybe LLVM's x86 backend could do better if given the codegen flags corresponding to what Julia detects is available natively.
That seems to be true. After looking into the Linux implementation, I realized that it's python and not something more low level. The differences amount to an extensive syntactical refactoring, at least on the library porting side, but it's still a large amount of super tedious work that I can admire. Getting it to work with WebUSB though, having a high proficiency with TS, and putting in the work to write tests for it all is also impressive.
We conduct this sort of research, and in fact the NIH funded gain of function research taking place at WIV. So first we could reinstate the moratorium that was lifted in 2017, and we can stop funding it elsewhere. If the ultimate conclusion is that this research is too dangerous, we can create something analogous to the Biological Weapons Convention, to which China has acceded. I see no reason China wouldn't sign and abide by such a treaty.
> How an American is going to compete with a guy willing to work for $0.50/day on an 18 hour shift 7 days a week is a mystery. He doesn't even ask for healthcare, and when he dies of exhaustion there are hundreds more waiting to take his place because that's a huge amount of money for them.

Well, that guy would do a really bad job, especially after he dies. You can compete with him by staying healthy and being much more productive.

That's not an accurate description of overseas labor though, those people are skilled at what they do and their PPP-adjusted pay is better than that. (Sometimes overseas developers aren't skilled at enterprise development, in that case their skill is scamming the outsourcing manager.)

> One of the few things I think Trump got right is when he brought tariffs back. If you want companies to keep jobs in the US you have to make the labor cost just as much no matter where you find it.

That's not what a tariff does, a tariff makes foreign companies' products more expensive for domestic customers. It's just a pointless tax increase. And when the other country fights back it makes your products more expensive for foreign customers, hurting you.

Keeping jobs domestically means doing the opposite, increasing foreign customers for your stuff. This falls under industrial policy and it's what the overseas countries taking your jobs did better than us.
Shouldn't be ruled out?

The idea that some scientist accidentally infected themself with this virus while trying to study it is far more believable than a person contracting it because they ate raw bat from a wet market. It can't be a coincidence that the epicenter of this pandemic is less than a mile away from a lab dedicated to studying coronaviruses.

I stand corrected. Then again the NSA one doesn't seem to be an officially sanctioned placing of data, and in the CIA article it says the CIA cloud is not connected to the Internet, and is located on-premise (i.e. CIA headquarters).

Trying to bomb the CIA HQ would be an even more ballsy move...
The patent troll that won a $308M jury trial against Apple
The module compatibility thing isn't just developers being lazy and not porting over their modules, it's actually a fundamental thing to do with the way .NET Core was architected.

Because -- you know -- in the 2020s there are only web apps and mobile apps. There are no other types of "applications". That unnecessarily long word only exists in dead tree dictionaries like Oxford, and is used by old people that still cling to their "personal computers" of yesteryear. So of course, .NET Core was made only for web apps, with a hint that mobile apps might one day work also. Microsoft will say otherwise, of course, but in practice 100% of the decisions were to ship an MVP that can be used to create a web application. All the doco was for web apps. All of the samples were for web apps. Whenever there was a decision to be made, they made it with web apps in mind.

This has made some things impossible, especially related to actually loading dynamic link libraries (DLLs) dynamically, which despite the "dynamic" in the name is surprisingly problematic in .NET Core.

It really wants you to ship a monolithic, statically linked app. Anything else is just a nightmare of compatibility shims and flags that ought to be at the DLL level but are actually set (once only) at the EXE-level.

This makes PowerShell Core modules very sensitive to the exact version of .NET Core used to compile PowerShell itself, contrary to how the old PowerShell used to work, where you could upgrade the system framework to enable the loading of a newer module built against that framework.

Similarly, if there is another module that pulls in something with compatibility shims (or not), then that can break your module in weird and wonderful ways.

I tried to write a .NET Core module for PowerShell core several times, and every time I got bogged down in reams of inscrutable internal framework errors that had 2-3 hits maximum in Google, all from other people complaining about PowerShell development having being broken.
Audio was stuttering for me as well up until at some point late last autumn / early winter when it suddenly started working quite fine to the point I could actually bear using it. On MacOS with Chrome.
Interesting, we’re just about to put cloudflare workers in prod and find their approach much more flexible vs lambda@edge being possibly triggered four times at edge part of a request life cycle. But this could significantly reduce cost if your execution time is low.

How likely are you to see 1ms execution times for this stuff tho? Super simple logic should be that low I guess..

They must have a very mature execution environment to be able to offer this (if 1ms execution is achievable), cf workers have a whole set to logic to average out cpu spikes so you don’t randomly hit the 50ms limit, bc their execution of your code isn’t that deterministic I suppose.

HN is anti-union because HN is a weird little bubble of people who have bought the idea of meritocracy, mostly by being born wealthy and desperately needing to explain away the growing gap between them and the rest of the world. They have by and large managed to wriggle their way into careers that pay slightly above average (but still well below the actual earners), and need to believe this has some connection to actions or behaviors they personally undertook along the way.

One only need to look back on the last hundred years of industrialization to see how briefly these kinds of professional, middle-class meritocracies can keep up the illusion. If it isn't slave labor abroad that undercuts them, it will be some innovation that makes them redundant. The music will stop, and it will become immediately clear that just because you've been the one building the chairs for the game doesn't entitle you to actually sit in one. This sort of thing is happening all the time, the law profession being one recent example. One day, your skills are valuable and command a good wage, the next, you're competing with thousands for a single position that comes with constant pressure to beat last quarter's results or be replaced by an intern. We could look at colleges and professorships as well for more middle-class devastation.

Programmers, kind of like surgeons, sit in a unique position at the moment in that they are necessary for the imperial goals of the billionaire class and haven't yet been thoroughly replicated by cheap alternatives. That day is absolutely coming though, for both programmers and surgeons, and it isn't hard to find companies out there working full-time on those replacements. All the haranguing about performance and merit will stop, and we'll all be left with whatever table scraps we've managed to gather before the great hand of progress swept us into the trashbin.

Of course, unions can't prevent this from happening, but they can help extract as much money from the sociopaths of industry as possible before our usefulness is over.

I happen to live in red-neck Bubba land and have for near all my life, but thank you for your input on matters you seem to not be very much personally acquainted with...

I don't understand the nature of your straw mans.
There's a finite amount of money going into it, there are finite drains coming out of it. Once it hits a point where the pot of money drains to zero it'll pop just like a Ponzi.

The people who extracted money early will wind up net positive, the people who did not will wind up seeing it all lost.

That's a Ponzi. Arguing about it is splitting hairs and missing the forest for the trees.

Detroit is growing back these days. Even though a lot of it is abandoned, it's still hard to buy the old houses because you have to pay their back taxes or something, but it is coming back thanks to companies like Quicken.

As for crime, it's some economic and some that Detroit was the center of the car industry which means everyone was huffing leaded gasoline fumes for decades. In Europe everyone is still breathing in diesel, which just kills you rather than makes you a rage monster.

Do you think there is any relationship to the old saw about how young liberals evolve into old conservatives?

For what it's worth, I notice the same thing in me as I get older. I don't think it will turn me into an actual conservative, mind you, because there's way too much other baggage that goes along with that. I figure I'm just becoming more misanthropic the more I learn about my fellow humans.
My aunt lives in the Rotebühlstraße and one of the highlights of visiting her as a kid in the 1970s was buying pretzels at the bakery two blocks away. Twenty years later, the "bakery" was just a storefront and the actual baking happened at a central location elsewhere in the city.

The entire ad industry in its current form, the entire tracking industry exist solely because of that. Users routinely allow malicious apps full-system access just because those apps ask nicely.

I'd rather not have features than have them rammed through by a company whose only claim on profitability is running ad networks in a web they increasingly control.

And yes, the "core cookie technology" that Google proposes only makes tracking easier.

>Rogan didn't even say trans women shouldn't compete

This is what Rogan said (rough transcript):

>[When you let a trans women competing against cisgender women] you are stealing from [cisgender] women, you are stealing victory, you are cheating, you are fucking 100% cheating, and anybody who says they are not is an asshole.

You are misrepresenting Rogan's point to make it sound more acceptable. He is not speaking specifically about MMA. He is not talking about other competitors having a choice. He is just straight saying that a trans woman is cheating by competing against cis women.
It's because everyone has to book their washing machines two weeks in advance.
I don’t think there is a competitor that matches both editing and DAM capabilities of LR.
Even if or when the era of overzealous cleaning finally come to an end for Coronavirus, it's not an excuse to ignore good hygiene as there are many nasty diseases that are spread by contact (door knobs, etc.). Frankly, it's madness to suggest otherwise.

Viruses such as measles, and viral gastroenteritis—norovirus and rotavirus are very highly contagious and can be spread by contact (these viruses are so virulent and contagious that just touching something handled by someone with the disease is enough to catch them). In fact, long before COVID-19, norovirus was the scourge of cruise ships—often dozens of people would succumb to the disease in the confined quarters of a ship.

A quick look at the graph in the New York Times article shows that when it comes to contagiousness, COVID-19 is almost a beginner: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/18/learning/whats-going-on-i.... Even though rotavirus and norovirus are not shown on this graph, when it comes to infectiousness and contagiousness they are up there along with measles. In fact, some studies show norovirus to be one of the most contagious viruses that we know of (i.e.: one person can infect in excess of 15 others).

This Wiki articles further demonstrates the point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_reproduction_number

And do does this excellent presentation (PDF): https://www.rch.org.au/uploadedFiles/Main/Content/fracp_reso...

One of the noticeable and significant observations to arise from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and when many people started being hyper-vigilant with respect to their hygiene—using sanitizer and washing their hands, etc.—is the fact that gastroenteritis virus numbers have been way down.

This clearly shows that hygiene really matters. Even bringing the matter into question is stupid as it undermines long-held public hygiene messages.

I definitely think his use of renewable energy is a great step forward.

The trouble is that he seems to keep a lot of ruminants for the amount of land he has. Ruminants produce very potent greenhouse gases that are not offset by sequestration (cited a few times in other sources), so with that plus all of his other animals kept I'd be very interested in independently gathered data (i.e. not marketing materials he wrote himself ) about the GHG production / absorption by his land.

Sadly, I'm struggling to find the number of animals he keeps or anything I could use to run any sort of calculation.

Therefore, this definitely looks like the closest I've seen to sustainable animal agriculture, but its claims are currently unsubstantiated.

I think wrapping a div with an <a> element is now valid, you probably want to only wrap inline elements like a <span> with an <a> when possible. Imo it's a better practice.

It also avoids having large "white space" areas that are clickable, when only the text should be clickable. (Like when you wrap an <h1> with an <a> for example.)
The claim is being made that no other alternative hypothesis exists which can explain the features of the virus, so it must have come from a BSL lab.

This is an alternative hypothesis which is simpler and less convoluted and does, in fact, completely undermine the "it can't be anything other than bioweapons research" argument.

You're aiming your criticism at the wrong end of the argument.
I'm going to echo that this is not really as impressive as neuralink is saying. It's a good incremental improvement, but no breakthrough, and enough people have shown similar results.

> it takes a special kind of new hire

Yeah, it does. I’ve had a good amount of experience doing this. You need to have tact and a kind of humbleness that can be difficult to maintain (tbh, it was for me at least). In my most recent experience with this, many of the bugs were unknown. During my ramp up, I read through nearly all of the code I’d be working on and got a good sense of what needed to be done, but the code changes were the easy part. The issue that required more work IMO was navigating the social waters as a new hire.

I found that you can use being a new hire to your advantage, eg “hey I was reading through this piece of code and I had a question about XYZ.”

Sometimes I’ve felt certain bugs are, for one reason or another, difficult to discuss. One thing I’ve done in cases like this is to refactor a bit of code in a way that makes a subtle bug painfully obvious; then in review, where the reviewers were the original author and reviewer, it’s easier for them to see the bug and say “this looks weird,” to which I respond “ah, yeah, this seems like a bug, I’ll fix this.”

The rough part of this is that you can get so good at being the fixer that this becomes all you (ie. maybe you’re not working on new features, etc) which can suck. The bright side is that you can strengthen the team—-everyone gets a chance to build/rebuild context and mental models, design docs can be updated, and the teams foundation gets stronger as a result. Of course, ymmv.

As a new hire, I find it important to build trust and relationships.

The actual "trick" behind this is well known and has been done for quite some time. One could actually solder in a different device id in the GTX 6xx series [0] or flash a different VBIOS on the GTX 5xx ones. The real achievement here is implementing this in software without touching the GPU.

This is not to downplay the OP, of course - this is truly great and I'm sure it was a lot of work. But the hardware part is not new.

I've experienced this professionally. It's super debilitating. At some point, the only thing that you are willing to spend energy on is preventing the last fire you're exhausted from just fighting from happening again. I don't know what I'd have done if I didn't have good support from my manager at the time. He cleared a lot of expectations of other deliverables out of the way, so I could stabilize the infrastructure. Now, I know enough to work the politics to give myself room to do this work, but junior me couldn't have done it alone without cracking.
