Psycho-Pass. Finish season one, which tells a complete story. There was a drop in quality in season two.
Psycho-Pass is about two layers of futuristic police, "inspectors" with full citizen rights, and "enforcers" who are treated as "latent criminals". A brain scan from the end of a cop's weapon, which takes a second to complete, may determine your fate. The lead female character is initially very keen and eager to be an inspector, but soon questions the system and society. It's fast-paced and a great show.
TeX82 as well. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX#TeX82:

> Since version 3, TeX has used an idiosyncratic version numbering system, where updates have been indicated by adding an extra digit at the end of the decimal, so that the version number asymptotically approaches π. This is a reflection of the fact that TeX is now very stable, and only minor updates are anticipated. The current version of TeX is 3.141592653; it was last updated in 2021.
The heartfelt moral questions the series poses ("the spider and the butterfly") are nothing short of profound, all the more because they may not be resolvable. One of my favorite series ever, aesthetically, narratively, and thematically: I've seldom seen anything so simultaneously silly, and gut-wrenchingly poignant.

Happy to speak to JIT in ArrayFire if you have any specific questions. I am ArrayFire's CEO/Co-Founder.
I only read random things of his that get posted here, or sometimes when people link to older articles of his that are particularly interesting, and I've been doing it that way since before 2013, IIRC. It's not that I read a lot of his stuff, it's that he has a few very well known and widespread articles which I have read and he has a very distinctive style. Specifically, it was when I got to the Hertz section and he said "That said, you should never listen to me and I know nothing." That's a hallmark of all the Matt Levine articles I can remember reading.

Similarly, you can do superˢᶜʳⁱᵖᵗ using Unicode as well (though I would only recommend it for numbers; Unicode doesn’t include all superscript letters, and most of the ones it does include look bad when used together). But yes, I agree that proper support for these things would be very good. (Especially code blocks!)

Reddit unveils its Clubhouse clone, Reddit Talk
The initial posts seem mostly be either 1) reviews, 2) "wrapper articles" for auto manufacturers' press releases, or 3) articles about industry-relevant public policy. These are all appropriate for a HN-like community, but I was expecting to see a lot more highly technical articles too. Topics like engine designs, control systems, manufacturing processes, etc., written by engineers.

I guess a lot of the most current and interesting information about those topics stays locked within auto manufacturers.
Be careful about buying it.

I haven't had time to read the PACER filings, but the Bloomberg/WSJ articles indicate the shareholders will have to ante up some money to keep their shares. And only if the latest offer wins the auction.
As opposed to the overblown entitlement seen from managers and leadership?

Typically this kind of setup works best when working independently. However in my experience doing similar setup in tech and other industries, many team mates have been grateful to work and learn from someone who otherwise would not work in their org or team.

It works other way around too, I would happily work in a team for much less pay if I can work with people I can learn from even if they do all the cool stuff.

Also I think he meant what kind of project he will work in not what all he will do in that project. Even if he did mean it that way, it is no different than in many regular roles where Senior ICs anyway pick and choose work they wan and junior members get the grunt work .
Generally performance gets better mostly because x64 arch has more registers.

That being said, I really wish the X32 ABI in linux had garnered more interest. The concept is that it's 64-bit code that runs with a 32-bit memory space. All your pointers can still be 32 bits but you also get all the architectural advantages of 64-bit mode too. In theory you should get the perf benefits of 64-bit without the perf costs.

The ABI wasn't really used much, so it got removed. But it was a bit self fullfilling. We never wanted to switch to it because it had poor surport from distributions, but distributions didn't bother supporting it because nobody used it!

Ask HN: What's Your Process for Learning?
I'm interested in seeing if anyone has a process they use to help with learning.

- Do you focus on one topic/book/course/project/article at a time, or split your time between multiple things?

- Do you use any tools to track your resources, todos, notes, or goals?

- Are there any pain points you have while learning, or are there any tools you wish existed?

I never understood the need to fold bed sheets. Crinkled sheets simply aren’t a problem I’ve ever had; you barely notice the difference once they’re stretched over the bed and pillows. I have a blanket box at the end of the bed; I just shove the second set of sheets in straight out of the dryer.

(I do fold sheets for the guest bed but that’s because the alternative set might spend months on the shelf. Most of the time the same set is washed and put straight back on the bed.)
Great tip! I was taught that this method was called the "roadie wrap." Though I was shown that it's possible to achieve the rotation by rolling the cable between my thumb and index fingers.

I work for a SaaS in the auto industry that is a B2B service for dealerships.

So, I was obviously interested, but this is not the content I expected.

I would not categorize it as auto industry news, more like auto consumer news.

I was hoping for content similar to the articles in moderndealership.com, or ‘Dealer News Magazine’.

QR code fly over the sky of Shanghai – QR code drone marketing Shanghai
What I do is write single-threaded programs that process only a section of data, and manage them with HTCondor. It's some extra overhead and complexity but this way you can easily scale to hundreds of machines without changing anything. You also get mature queuing and job management tools that work independently of your program. If your application is easy to paralellize and you might need more than one machine i highly reccommend this route.

It's amazing to see mainstream America discover, with our television Renaissance, what most otaku knew and took for granted since the 90s. I hear family talk about the latest It Show, and it's almost word for word what you would have found on the more polite anime forums back in the day. Even the premises echo: of Record of Lodoss War and all its derivatives in Game of Thrones, of Gundam and Cowboy Bebop in The Expanse. Don't think for a second that TV producers aren't mining the rich veins of both conceptual and visual "basic research" anime creators have done on what "works" for the extended fiction format and action-oriented television.

The one thing I will say is that, as an anime watcher, you do start to pick up on the repetitive tropes that might have felt fresh in your first few series, and with the aforementioned unsavory pandering towards the figma crowd, American TV that apes anime definitely has me less fatigued or concerned about sharing my enthusiasm with any particular show with F&F.

I've had a theory about this for a while - ever since that crazy Ted talk about tying shoes the "correct" way.

Because I always start right over left (or vice versa, I can't remember), my shoe laces never have that weird vertical orientation. My son, however, always has this problem.

I think it's a generational thing! Parents show their kids how to tie knots, and they always do it from the front, so each generation sees a mirrored version of the way their parents tie knots. So it goes, backs me forth throughput the years...

Just a theory, but I'm sticking to it.

Supreme Court Asked to Compel Airing of Secret Intelligence Court’s Decisions
To be fair Canadian news is still pretty diverse, it just hasn't resorted to social-media clickbait headlines (all that much). If you look at any of the "Sun" newspapers you have a pretty consistent right-wing opinion, "Star" newspapers get you a left-wing opinion, and the various local news companies are also pretty diverse.

The CBC and Globe and Mail might be boring / establishment, but is that a bad thing?
The CV is fine (I wouldn't put DuoLinguo as a proof of English fluency however, this is borderline) but the attitude is difficult.

I'd prefer a guy who has fun solving hard problems, like say, "how do I convince people more senior than me to follow my advice", rather than someone saying "find me a cheap job where I don't have to deal with snobbish seniors".

If you carefully read OP's response in the PR, he says he tried static typing make_list in addition to iterate_list. Your comment elides the resource allocation step.

Like OP, I observed that static typing make_list yields little benefit. It's runtime is 3x the runtime of iterate_list. And that makes sense. I'm not sure why we'd expect Cython to speed up the allocation of large numbers of Python objects.

Yeah, I’ve done it before for superscript characters and even have used fixed width code points to force inline code. But it was cumbersome. (One time my whole comment was written in fixed width characters—I don’t remember why—and I found it a few hours later transliterated to the 0-127 range)

FTC Statement on Ethical AI

A clarification: technically, filling a balloon with a lighter gas is actually pretty easy: the pressure inside the balloon is almost the same as that outside (if the balloon is made of a non-stretchy material like mylar that doesn't compress the air), so all you need to have the inside be lighter is to use a less dense gas. Mars atmosphere is mostly CO2, so even nitrogen could work as a lifting gas.

The problem of course is that while it's easy to use a gas that's less dense than Mars' atmosphere, it can't be very much less dense because you're starting from a very low density. So, you'd need a huge volume in order to lift anything substantial.

I work at Vanilla Forums (we power some of the largest communities online).

I’ve worked a lot on our editors and content formatting pipelines. We support plaintext, markdown, HTML, BBCode, and a WYSIWYG editor with markdown shortcuts.

In reality is estimate the distribution is mostly the WYSIWYG editor nowadays for newer sites and BBCode for the older ones (some users on older entrenched communities really like their BBCode I guess).

It's too fun to think about the original why? and what?!

It's probably because I'm re-watching the Sopranos but sounds like a more fun answer than pump and dump would be a front company. Dirty cash -> sandwich -> corp money -> consulting corp money. In that fantasy would be weird to not report more revenue. Plus added opportunity to flip the corp into a merger like the article says which sounds more likely.

Though the SEC probably won't like a takeover with a RICO indictee as owner ;)

I suffered some mental issues that began in 2012 and peaked in February this year. I _knew_ I should go and see a doctor but always because of my "intelligence" convinced myself that I needed to get my diet in order first, or meditate consistently first, or exercise consistently first, or apply any number fixes that I knew could shift the needle of my condition.

It took someone saying 'this is bad, you should go to a doctor' for me to actually make that appointment and go through with it.

That has helped a lot. I wish I had done it 8 years ago.

I think a lot of big cities are terrible places to live. People only live there because it's close to work, and work is only there because the people they want to hire have already bought houses there.
I actually like writing tests and documentation however i end up hating doing it for many reasons

- If I am able to focus on code, documentation or tests, I like doing it. Writing tests is sometimes lot more challenging than writing the code it tests. However context switching to difficult. I hate having to switch between the three

- The pressures of delivery makes it quite difficult to allocate meaningful time for either without cutting into scope.

- If your team does not value both to either read docs or maintain tests it become frustrating to be the only person doing it. If no one values it it can be demotivating.

- I have also seen teams either just focus on arbitary metrics like code coverage but not quality of tests or look at metrics like comment coverage/ number of lines of documentation, not whether docs are useful, how quickly someone is picking up by reading the spec, does it reduce bugs etc, quality and simplicity of language etc.

- It is a constant battle to keep both in up sync since i find it difficult to write code, tests and spec together. Once or twice a month I spend few days in trying to update both, which annoys me as they are out of date and I can only spend so much time on them.
The average S&P 500 stock is up nearly 70% in the last 12 months.

That's correct, if bad guys broke into my home and accessed the book it would have been game over.

Personally I would be much more concerned about other things - my stuff is there, not to mention often myself - but I'm sure that a vast faceless corporation would be primarily concerned with the potential for these hypothetical bad guys to learn and maybe disseminate secret passwords.

How often do you think that actually happens? It's a bit... high risk for opportunistic "cyber criminals" don't you think? Figure out where key employees live, then break in and... look for passwords they've written down and then presumably use them quickly before they're invalidated.
Switchcraft 280 and XLR connectors deserve mention for longevity and ubiquity in music and recording.

Honestly. I think people would be absolutely shocked at what is going on under the surface. And it's not just nuclear physics. The nsa is quite likely 20-30 years ahead of publicly known mathematics, the black market is already has logistics that work make FedEx blush. So much is kept secret and kept secret for a reason.
I asked my company IT why we still have mandatory rotation and I was told it is due to PCI.
I generally agree. But the "status quo" is to allow exclusivity deals all over by default, and it's worth recognizing that when trying to craft messages for lawmakers.
Everyone says this but rarely details why it's worse than other places.
The problem is documentation is a different skillset to coding. Spend enough time doing only documentation and suddenly you're no longer a programmer, you're a documentation writer.

I've always found that you can never go wrong by reading less. 90% of things we read are complete filler and don't really justify the other 10%.

Books (IMO) tend to be better for than webpages for retaining information because they take much longer to read. Prefer books over webpages.
Writing passwords down on paper is fine.

Writing passwords down on paper and leaving that paper in an insecure area isn't.

Your little address book full of passwords is the same as a password manager, and for a lot of people it's easier for them to manage the security of a booklet than it is to handle a password manager properly. And for those people, it's definitely worth using a book for the sake reasons we say using a password manager is a good idea

High performers are often aware of the large space of potential subjects they lack expertise on (hence feeling behind).

Low performers are often not aware, and would self-evaluate as high performers due to not being aware of their own knowledge gaps, and how far behind they are. There is an excellent graph to illustrate this: https://understandinginnovation.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/...
The ones that barf out a debug console from the processor's first init steps are probably not USB internally. ;)

But yeah, USB never came up with a good way to do peer-to-peer. On-the-go is super driver heavy and just not useful in the way RS232 is. New TVs still ship with it, for home automation reasons.
