According to the cpu, you won't have any branching with a LUT -- so you can pipeline everything nicely

So at least from that perspective, you've eliminated the impact of the condition
In the snow belt the reflective top layer of the lane markings gets scraped off by plows. When it rains the markings will completely disappear at night. Machine learning optimized for the ideal case is never going to work in many parts of the country.
It makes no sense to break down the value of installed capacity that everyone will understand into four different meaningless values.
See that makes sense, perhaps it make too much sense. My last two jobs I fought the same battles of "I discovered x, we really should do something about it because it can have really bad outcomes" and having the concern depri'd and ultimately blow up in all of our faces.

And in both situations even when said thing exploded in a bloody mess I struggled to get the buy in to give the fix the full attention it needed because "we're losing money not having these features" (I mean no, you're not, but ok)

Hence my incredulity but honest curiosity, being an ops guy who over-prepares and tries to keep his leaders as informed and prepared to make a decision as possible, but still feels like he's often left holding the bag is dang exhausting, you know?
it'll probably end up being something like a gamma ray source; as probably the cheapest and most durable solution.
Both sides of the Jewish-non-Jewish intra-semitic conflict in Palestine have committed or supported terrorism. Several anti-Arab Jewish supremacist terrorist organizations became part of the Israeli government upon the creation of the Jewish state in Palestine. If we were to totally ignore groups who have used terrorist tactics to achieve political objectives, there would be basically no one to talk to when it comes to this conflict. Pointing to one side or the other and shouting "terrorist" just isn't a productive discussion. I think that's what motivates most downvotes on hackernews.

>The Irgun has been viewed as a terrorist organization or organization which carried out terrorist acts.[3][4][5][6] Specifically the organization "committed acts of terrorism and assassination against the British, whom it regarded as illegal occupiers, and it was also violently anti-Arab" according to the Encyclopædia Britannica.[7] In particular the Irgun was described as a terrorist organization by the United Nations, British, and United States governments

>On May 14, 1948 the establishment of the State of Israel was proclaimed. The declaration of independence was followed by the establishment of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and the process of absorbing all military organizations into the IDF started. On June 1, an agreement had been signed between Menachem Begin and Yisrael Galili for the absorption of the Irgun into the IDF.

Joe Armstrong and Robert Virding actually experimented with compiling Erlang to Strand. I'm not familiar with all of the details, but I believe they saw a factor of six speedup as compared to the Prolog implementation [0], but deemed the project a failure because of the complexity involved in restricting Strand's parallelism and failure to meet their target of a 70x speedup [1].

I'm actually sharing this in the first place because I managed to acquire a copy of "Strand: New Concepts in Parallel Programming" [2] yesterday, and it includes a case study about the Erlang -> Strand compiler, so I've been having fun trying to piece together the lineage.

Please don't respond to a bad comment with another bad comment. That only makes this place even worse, and the site guidelines explicitly ask you not to: "Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead."

Actually, the responses are what does the real damage. If people simply do as that guideline asks, these fires would die out rather than spread.

Also, your comment broke this guideline too: "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community." Can you please not? It's its own variety of tedious and nasty.

I don't care if the chip maker who runs this computer thinks Global warming is real or not. I don't care if my orange juice company has spoken out about human trafficking. I don't want those companies to take part in those things, but outside that companies should be in general apathetic soulless beings who only care about things that impact them and act in a legal and ethical matter to provide goods I want or don't want. It is in my mind strange that people want Red Solo cups to fight against the big lie of a stolen election. You realize when companies do this it isn't because they CARE, it is because they see the PR benefit vs cost (look at the NBA on Hong Kong vs BLM).

If people demand companies lie to them so they can feel moral about purchasing their products... That is just bizarre.
You totally left out property taxes! $1.1 million house in SF has about $6,050 in year property tax, which is another $182k over the life of the mortgage (assuming rates don't change).
Well, you can take the input as a data point, but make the final decision based on sensor data. Thus the shared data can make the flow smoother.

I like that dichotomy. If you or anyone else reading this have any thoughts on it, what are some good questions I ought to be asking during interviews to determine what kind of shop I'm talking to might be?

That's been a real struggle lately, and I want to get better at this to avoid these kinds of push shops you're describing
I wish I could write like that guy.
To be clear, isn't the suspension from participating in those activities (cheer) not from school itself? The former seems completely appropriate to me. The latter not at all.

> The total ETH created does depend on the amount staked. Here's a table[1] and formula[2].

Thank you! I was unaware of this. I stand corrected.

However, my original point stands under the added constraint that we don't have enough tokens to alter the yield (i.e. staking our tokens won't push the total staked quantity across a "yield boundary"). The difference in participation between two different yields is considerable, so I would expect this to be the common case.

> Everyone is equally competitive. Someone who reinvests will get higher absolute rewards than they got before, but they pay the price of locking up more capital.

Joining later puts you at a disadvantage, because you have to buy coins off of people who could be staking them. That's problematic from a resiliency perspective, because it makes it harder for new block-producers to come online. It also means that there's no "reserve capacity" in the system to tolerate the sudden loss of a large number of staked coins. This isn't true in PoW, because obsolete miners that aren't profitable to run today could be brought online in a pinch if enough profitable ones were to suddenly go offline.

> In the same way, a miner could reinvest profits into more mining equipment, but that doesn't make them more competitive, just bigger.

These aren't comparable. I could come up with a better, more efficient way to generate PoW outside of the protocol. But in PoS, the protocol mandates that I only use staking to increase my coin income. Per my original point, what this means in practice is that there will come a point where it's cheaper to increase my staking yield by DDoS'ing staking nodes, who will be slashed as a result (the link you gave indicates that the slashing begins after 25 minutes of over 33% of the staked tokens being knocked offline).
I said roughly the same thing this morning over coffee.
I feel that macOS has slowly become a mess. From Lion, more or less.

Overcomplicated and bloated security features, telemetry, iOSification of the UI, dumbed down settings, bugs..

Perhaps the time has come to shed some legacy and restart again from scratch (like Google Fuchsia) or to invest some of the hundreds of billions they have in refining the software so it actually works
that's because half the planet's brain are trying to make printers work
On the other hand... if you're swapping people in and out of a roll, it forces you to have an SOP and training.

If it's the same person for 5+ years, I can guarantee there's nothing accurate written down (even in regulated industries).

Given the two problems, I've seen more dumpster fires as a result of the latter than the former.
The only effect here will be to reduce their own relevance? There are great vegetarian websites, and people who want that go there. This is just a weird audience pivot for a company I had already never heard of.
I believe it comes down to having more eyes on the code.

If a corporation relies upon open sourced code that has historically been written by unpaid developers, if I was that corportion, I would start paying people to vet that code.
I think this depends a lot on what the task is. If your goal is explicitly to build a factory or a real estate empire, then you're probably right. You're not going to get very far without a bunch of capital to start.

However, if your goal is to do something legitimately creative, I agree with the spirit of the article. Indie game developers often work absolute wonders in spite of (or maybe because of?) Their limitations, whereas super heavily funded giants like Google and Amazon seem to be unable to think through any problem where the solution isn't dependent on "we have really deep pockets; buy the creative talent"

One might also consider forming a union with your fellow coworkers, and negotiating with management with said union.

As you mentioned, if you have enough leverage, you win. If that's your jam, grab for the crowbar of labor rights. Organizing is federally protected.

Why does it affect you?

Don't know about the billions but I'd be consoled by it.
My favorite part of this system is when they give you a year of it as compensation for a data breach, saying it’s worth 12x its monthly fee (which they make up). That’s not even touching on the fact that their solution to losing your data is asking you for more of it.

I’ve never been lucky enough to be compensated with such a service. But it wouldn’t surprise me if they were so helpful that they even auto-enroll you in another (paid) year at the end of your free trial!

One also wonders why reforming the credit bureaus is not a bipartisan priority in Washington. Congress is apparently only interested in fighting over the issues that nobody can agree on. Don’t hold your breath for any progress fixing systems that anyone except a lobbyist can clearly point to as broken.

The problems might get some attention if the corporate media chose to hype them, but guess who buys a bunch of advertisements on their news channels?
The game can have as many players as you want but you need a minimum of 3 people to play.

It's in front of the team so that obstacles can be solved by the team. It's why it's not in front of people outside of the team. The number of times where someone says "I'm struggling with X" and someone else says "Oh! I know about X! I can help!" has been innumerable.

And, it really doesn't contribute to a etc. I've had devs spend days with basically the same status, but it also was a large task. I've had devs make incremental progress, and everyone understood. I've had devs (and been a dev!) who said "I got nothing done; I was in meetings and they drained me", and it's fine (though it helps highlight that the meetings are too much very early).

The process presumes culture. It assumes the team functions together and is aligned in delivering, and isn't looking to blame one another. If the culture is bad, then, as with any bad culture, it's easy to blame the process.
This is a pretty big pivot from:

"You can now buy a Tesla with Bitcoin... Tesla is using only internal & open source software & operates Bitcoin nodes directly. Bitcoin paid to Tesla will be retained as Bitcoin, not converted to fiat currency"

Turns out it will in fact be converted to fiat currency while Elon continues to pump his bags on Twitter.

"What does the future hodl?"

In any other asset class this would be blatant, illegal market manipulation.

I believe this is what you call the ol' pump-n-dump.
What you described is talking about personal interests and activities, and I agree that is the kind of stuff that is easy and fun to talk (and hear) about with others. I’m starting to think many people don’t have personal activities and interests and don’t know what to fill in small talk with other than what they saw on social media or the news.
If a set of robots could, on their own, heal themselves of certain amounts of damage, maintain internal order, as well as reproduce by mining and purifying silicon and assembling it into new robots, without aid from anything else but raw materials and, say, solar energy, as well as evolve their own design as they assemble new robots, I would claim that that also qualifies as silicon-based life.

To be able to mine for materials and manufacture new copies of itself is a more macroscopic way of creating those complex molecules than the smaller-scale processes used in Earth life, but I don't think that should be the differentiating qualifier for what constitutes life. It's rather just a different reproduction process than mitosis and meiosis but is a valid reproduction process.

To some extent I think we will invent silicon-based life or some other life to carry on our legacy after the solar system dies. Carbon-based Earth life is far too sensitive to environmental conditions, and what I envision of silicon-based life is something that can handle a much wider variety of temperatures, pressures, radiation, and gases, which would be much more suitable for a spacefaring continuation of humanity.
So much for the "philanthopist". The justification given is really poor too.
I'm not really interested in having this argument anymore, but I'll leave you with this:

Just because something is the "default" option doesn't mean it is non-ideological. Ideology is a powerful tool for shaping people's actions. People will go along with insane and sometimes horrifying things just because they perceive them as "normal". Maybe expose yourself to some alternative ideology. You don't have to agree with it to learn something.
Plenty of people pay for glorified three-fund portfolios. I'm sure they can throw in ETH in the near future to make it seem more complex than it actually is.
I can see either as reasonable (the one game suspension or the 1 year). I thought there were other issues she was causing too. Didn't it say she was causing issues in the team dynamic by essentially bullying another teammate, stating (or was it implying) the coach already talked to her about it? It seemed like this was not a first strike.
for that matter; microwaves cook us from the inside out at 100+ meters, and don't require very good aim.
Ask HN: I pitched wrong salary expectations? How to renegotiate?
I am in the middle of a job application process. I have passed the technical assignment and now I have a technical interview with the CTO of the company. I am positive that I will get this position.

The problem is during my first interview with the talent acquisition specialist, I told her my salary expectation was $30/Hours. But today I looked at the job posting on stackoverflow and the salary range on the posting was $100k - 150k which makes it roughly $52/h - $78/h given you put 160 productive hours monthly.

I feel like I pitched too low, I want to have my compensation between 52-78 bracket but not sure how to deal with this now. I don't want to sound unprofessional but want to renegotiate my original pitch. Can someone guide me on how to tackle this professionally?

P.S The company is US-based with a development team spread all across the globe. I am front South Asia and even $30/h is a very big deal.
CO2 is a good proxy for airborne infectious disease risk. Outdoor air is 400 ppm or so, best practice in modern building going into the pandemic was 600 ppm. Get CO2 down to 450 ppm and airborne infectious disease transmission plummets.

We have varied reactions to parts of the world that still suffer the consequences of human waste in irrigation water. In the far future people will view our current indoor spaces with similar varied reactions.
Hey, it worked for Albert Hofmann!
Wanted to clarify two things, since I saw some confusion.

The law changed to make a deceptive statement about what can and can't be discharged in bankruptcy illegal, but it was always false to say that it couldn't be discharged in bankruptcy, even before the law changed.

This isn't a new California department, it's the old DBO under a new name as the DFPI, with enhanced powers to regulate financial matters that were previously unregulated and protect Californians against unfair, deceptive, and abusive practices. Basically there have been lots of innovative financial agreements that weren't well regulated under California law. They also weren't well regulated federally, but that's a whole other issue.

More info on the law here.

> Still to this day, I have absolutely no idea how people can write Java for line-of-business applications (its bread-and-butter!) and remain sane from having to manually manage data-flow, implementing Java Beans, and manually writing by-hand getter-and-setter methods...

My long-standing view is that Java's strict and verbose OOP syntax and semantics are an interface for IDEs. People who are hand-coding are practically guaranteed to be baffled by the verbosity, but they forget that Java development was the driver for IDE evolution (afaik), such that now we have ‘extract method’ and similar magic that understands code structure and semantics.

More specifically, OOP works, or should work, as an interface for IDEs that allows to (semi-)programmatically manipulate entities on a higher level, closer to the architecture or the problem domain.

Like you, I wondered if this manipulation can be harnessed and customized, preferably in a simpler way than giving in to the whole OOP/IDE/static-typing tangle and without writing AST-manipulating plugins for the IDE. In those musings I ended up with the feeling that Lisps might answer this very wish, with their macros and hopefully some kind of static transformations. Which are of course manipulating ASTs, but it seems to be done somewhat easier. Alas, predictably I've had no chance of doing any significant work in a Lisp, so far.
IANAL either, but the abortion issue is one such, and has been around for decades, and people have been vocal about their opinions, and I don't think they have got fired.

this whole cancel culture I think has taken a turn for the worse in the recent past.
No I didn't, see the comment that the property tax was rolled into the 3k payment. I've added "property" to make that clearer.
The "no committees" takes away autonomy. The "no politics" takes away purpose. All you are left with is mastery. They just killed intrinsic motivation. See Daniel Pink.
It's not that macOS doesn't trust you, it's that macOS doesn't trust the programs you're running. Specifically, it doesn't trust the programs to do what you want them to, and only what you want them to.

And it's not just a matter of protecting you against out-and-out malware (although that's certainly part of it), it's a matter of protecting you against developers whose interests don't entirely align with yours. Developers who really want to spy on their users seem to be the biggest group (see, for example, the recent Apple vs. Facebook kerfuffle).

Unfortunately, distrusting software does add friction, especially if you add (/update-via-unsupported-mechanisms) new software frequently. "Are you sure you meant to run this program? It looks weird to me; I think you should get rid of it. Should it really have access to your contacts/camera/etc?" macOS is acting a little like an overprotective parent here, and it's certainly annoying. But the threats it's trying to protect you from are real. You can turn the protections off (with a certain amount of work), but then you're vulnerable to all the stuff it's there to protect you from.

P.s. I don't mean to completely defend Apple here. Their preferred solution is to have all software distribution go through their App store... where they get a cut of the price. Which means they're also on the list of developers whose interests don't entirely align with yours.
I'm not entirely convinced it's a good idea, but one convincing argument I've seen is that sensor fusion is hard and it's not a priori clear which sensor to believe when they provide conflicting information. It's entirely possible that they get better predictive accuracy from vision-only data then in the analogous situations with vision+radar data.
100%, but the fix, then, is the environment. Not the developer.

You might be right about why Unicode was slow.

In which case I was right.

> So much so that to properly support Rakudo on Parrot would require a rewrite of [the middleware].

Which also means that most of the work you would have done to Parrot would needed to be reworked again afterwards.

There was `ifdefs` all over the NQP and Rakudo codebases to work around Parrot's differences. Which was annoying and error-prone.

The `ifdefs` are now mostly in NQP. And even those tend to be constrained a bit.

---

> Rakudo's parser was (maybe still is) slow because it can't optimize anything, even the <ws> token.

That is factually incorrect. There are several known optimizations that have not been implemented yet. One of which was even in STD.

Also since Raku treats regexes as code, optimizations to regular code paths can also apply to regexes. That includes optimizations to calling methods like using the <ws> token.

The main reason that they haven't been many is that the people that are competent enough and confident enough to do that work have been busy doing other things. Both their dayjobs and other optimizations or design work.

Really as far as I know, there have been next to no attempts to optimize specifically regexes and grammars since they first got to the current feature set. Certainly not in the several years where I was looking over every commit to Rakudo.
