They are not wrong in saying human capital benefits India the most in this century.

However it will come with great pain for the vast majority.

India is politically reverse of the US. More populated states like UP have more representatives, they are usually conservative (nationalist/right wing) in politics, lesser education, lesser efforts in family planning etc.

There has not been redistricting called delimitation commission in India since 1976 on some of these population growth concerns, it is currently scheduled for 2026.

The TFR in most parts of india is below 2 these days, but the most populous states are still growing , that make the national average.

It is hard to win an national election even today without UP.

I don’t disagree with any of that. Sorry if my prior post implied that I thought Tesla vehicles were special or magical, I’m just pointing out that it’s not so straightforward to interpret the metrics.

My point was about efficiency, not range. Range can easily be made higher by putting in a bigger battery, which is precisely what Ford did here. Quoting from your own citation: "Keep in mind that the Tesla Model Y is more efficient than the Mach E but it has a smaller battery. Its battery pack is 75 kWh nominal. The battery pack in the Mach E is quite large, it's basically 99 kWh nominal."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSmSiOo-v8s&t=61s

Note that the above are nominal (i.e. physical) battery capacities. Ford generally promotes the usable capacity of the battery, which is 88 kWh. The equivalent usable capacity of the Tesla battery is unknown, but it's likely to be a similar fraction.

You correctly point out that what matters is how far you can drive for the money you spent. I agree. When you add up the money you spent on electricity to fill up the battery, then the Model Y goes further per dollar spent on electricity.
Because one should have the freedom to continue about their day without being detained for no reason. Can you support your claim? In my city people who have outstanding warrants (arguably having met a standard of having committed a crime) are regularly released after being stopped by police. It seems to me that being stopped by the police doesn't result in the detention of people actually charged with crimes - so why should an average citizen be subject to that or worse?
I continue to appreciate your appraisals and summaries, thank you.

Your comments on tricky topics tend to lean more toward actionables, rather than the perpetual rehashing same arguments the rest of this comment section is filled with.
>Everything from build systems to IDEs is tied to were the tree is, I most certainly _don't_ want to constantly change that.

I am so sorry. That sounds awful. Life doesn't have to be that way.
No, I don't believe that's what it means in this case. I took the usage to mean that since Rust has memory model which is different enough from C to require a redesign.

I looked at many implementations of Redis and read many KV papers. My redesign reason was similar to a "clean room Rust" reason, I desired a memory model that used shared memory that was independent of the protocol (Redis RESP in this case), allowing multiple processes with different types of protocol services to attach to it.
the answer is in the black hole jets.
there's a lot of research on those jets.
invariably much of it is wrong or missing data.
many of the assumptions about black hole polar jets is probably bogus.

here is why
we barely understand polar jets from our own sun.
So the argument you lead with is about extra phone lines? Then one can expect that professors have a university office line, and universities have Way More competency and discretionary budget in hiring PR firms and in-house staff to deal with dynamic and acute events.

In terms of sheer muscle power, most public officials can't compare to the behemoth that is a university. They are even outclassed on agility.

It may be your local official's job to do something, but the reality of budget anemia is stiffer than their obligations to you.
Perhaps more facts surface in this case.
>Of the $1.9 billion, 47% went to Republicans and 53% went to Democrats. In fact, this report notes that more than $250 million from those working in the FIRE sector went toward supporting Biden, the most out of all the contenders for president. Those contributions were a mix of donations to his campaign and outside groups supporting him.

>Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, saw just over $103 million from those same industries.

I'm really surprised that more people weren't driven to the Green or Libertarian parties this time around. Both establishment candidates were just so awful.

What can an average citizen do against $1.9 billion dollars? To put it another way when are we going to just admit that America is an oligarchy pretending to be a democracy?

Hi HN! 5 months ago I posted here asking about where I could learn about ML, and got some great recommendations. This is my first blog post about what I've done since then. My model isn't an MVP yet, but it's very close, and I'm hyped for the next few weeks. Thank you for getting me completely hooked on AI!

PS -- If you have constructive criticism, I'm all ears!

This is awesome, because enables futuristic devices which otherwise wouldn't be possible. Untethered smartglasses, holographic wrist watches etc.

Miniaturization of compute is insufficient to implement such devices. And even if compute could be miniaturized to render interactive web pages with a coin-sized device, the sorry state of battery technology would render it impractical.

With 5G we only need enough compute and power to run a modem and a Mightyapp renderer.
The point is that "creating strife and division internally and causing other employees to feel uncomfortable" can happen without an employee activist pushing a politically charged agenda.

My personal interpretation: If the primary intent of the policy is to reduce the instaces of exployees feeling ostracized, there are better ways to achieve it than a blanket ban on "political discussion".
This misses the most important security step of all: when you specify an exact tag, instead find the hash of the specific image and use that instead, e.g.:

I guess that this is a bet that super heavy-weight (hopefully webasm-based!) web applications will become widespread.
Think Adobe Premiere Elements in the browser.

If the browser becomes the main platform that people use to ship applications, this could be useful.
And why would the browser be the main platform for apps? To bypass the app store fees, to be multiplatform, to be always up to date.

One final advantage to running the browser remotely is that you don't have to deal with a certain browser engine that is lagging behind the others.
There are several similar examples on android development subreddit. The best one which comes to my mind if when a developer got their account suspended because they were using a trademarked name in their metadata. The trademark name was "Windows". The developer was referring to house windows, not the Microsoft Windows....

That quote about "nothing but his uncorroborated word" regarding Reyes acting alone isn't the established truth, despite Armstrong Report saying it, wikipedia listed it just to demonstrate the opinion that Armstrong Report held.

Check these two quotes from the same wikipedia page[0]:

>In addition, his [Reyes's] DNA matched the DNA evidence at the scene, confirming that he was the sole source of the semen found in and on the victim "to a factor of one in 6,000,000,000 people".

>DNA analysis of the strands of hair found on the clothing of two of the defendants, conducted with advanced technology not available at the time of their trial, established that the hair did not belong to the victim, despite what the prosecution had testified to at trial

The second one circumstantially supports that the defendants weren't involved, but the first one pretty much proves that the defendants weren't at the scene. Unless you want to claim that the defendants fully sanitized the victim after they assaulted her, leaving no traces of their DNA on or inside of her. I haven't heard that being claimed anywhere on the wikipedia page though.

IANAL too, but my understanding is that you cannot just "relicense".

You can add your own license to any changes you make and add your own license headers, but absolutely cannot change any existing license headers, etc.

yes this has been getting worse over the past few months.
Opera Mini was great on cheap Windows Mobile devices because your device didn't have the power to actually lay out a page, and the bandwidth savings on your slow cellular connection made the use of images make sense. Opera Mobile was preferable on Windows Mobile devices with better chips that could handle laying out a web page and had the bandwidth to work with embedded pictures that weren't tiny.
yes and this has been getting worse over the past few months. I experience this either on wifi or cellular

At industrial quantities, 3D printing is slow, low-quantity, and imprecise. You can fix one of those axes at the expense of making the others even worse.

As an example, I designed a part with micron-scale tolerances. Some 3D printing firms were able to provide it within a week. Others said they could but messed up the tolerances. Milling it out of metal turned out to be faster and more accurate.

As another example, I have a dream of making a part with 100 nm tolerances. It turns out there is only one supplier of 3D printers which can do this, and they are in Germany. One company in my country have their device, but a production run for them costs tens of thousands of dollars per part due to the slow printing required by the high precision and their high fixed capital costs. As a result, they mostly get hired to make molds for more traditional manufacturing methods.
I regularly hack on a slightly larger feature, fix, whatever. Once it's working, I incrementally stage lines for the separate commits that'll make up something reviewable. Doing a line-by-line review of the change at the same time. Often I'll omit some too-verbose or too hacky debugging that I don't want to include.

Once that's done I'll start a script that verifies that all the incremental commits individually pass tests (and maybe grab a coffee). While the tests run I'll do a separate pass over the commits.

For me the staging is absolutely crucial, and I can't imagine wanting to go back.

Another component of "negative value" is that videos keep playing in the background on mobile.

Killing the app is the easiest way to get it to shut up.
Well, that – yeah. But it doesn't strictly have anything to do with the actual CPU model specific tuning that the news was about, only in that setting a specific CPU in -march (-mtune would not do it!) would imply the features. Typically though you'd just do -march=armv8-a+the+desired+features for that like the first post you linked does.

Really the important piece for making distribution binaries not suck is ifuncs/multiversioning. But library and app authors currently are required to deliberately use them. Which is fine for manual optimizations that use intrinsics or assembly (and e.g. standard library atomics) but I'm not sure any compiler currently would automatically just do that for autovectorization.
There's a reason asm.js existed before Wasm, and it's not because JavaScript was just too dang fast.

I mean that's definitely true, but I'm not even sure what political camp should be angered by this particular discussion. It's decidedly pro-mask, although I guess if warped it could be read as excusing anti-masker behavior. The only other thing I can think of is people that were toeing the party line back then getting upset by being (sort of) called out.

I don't think anti-mask is a popular sentiment on HN, so I doubt that is driving the vote. But this isn't the first time I've seen downvotes on this topic. And it's not like HN loves authority or the biomedical research establishment in general.

Do you have any sort of estimates on how much cheaper?

I can't wait for a basic electric work truck that's affordable. But I also need the longer range or faster charge (super caps) for trips (they happen pretty often). It feels like it's taking forever for the tech to meaningfully advance. I know it's not the complete picture, but it seems like there's a lot of focus on the tech and luxury more than basic functionality.

I'll be 80 by the time I find one I really want.
If that was a quote it seems to have been edited. Anyway it seems to be a common spelling among a few people I met in Singapore, maybe due to this (now renamed) chain, or maybe the spelling preceded it.

The standard is "reasonable doubt", not "absolute certainty".
I think the US has some different, more prude, views on alcohol, which causes later excesses, requiring education as above.

Alcohol lowers your inhibition and makes you do stupid stuff. When age limit is 16, you do that stupid stuff when you are 17, and know your own limit by the time you are 21 and dating.

If you are a girl at a house party, you drink beyond your limit, go upstairs, and sit on a bed with some boys, you are not responsible for any assault that happens, but you do have your own choices and a will to avoid such risks. For:

> Regardless of how drunk or incapacitated a person may be, it is never their fault that they were assaulted.

does not count for the attackers, who may be very drunk as well, and sitting on a bed with a pretty girl.

Anyway, those rules are more for having students not act out, and have the rich parents of a cheerleader sue the university, when she somehow ended up drunk in the basement of a frat house, completely unable to consent.

Such sexual assault does exist in adult life (under police, not campus - supervision), but is of the degree of completely intoxicating a person, then dragging them home. Not: I drank wine, don't know how much, could have been drunk, then he made an advance on me. Like, she had to remove her clothes herself... it is not like she was passed out on the couch and he forced herself on her.

It was not even "rape" in her own mind, because they had sex another time.
> The whole idea of RAiI is that you Acquire a Resource in the constructor (during Initialization), so that the destructor can guarantee it gets de-allocated

Yes, that's the meaning of the acronym means, but unfortunately it's really a misnomer.

When we say RAII style programming, we rather mean scoped destruction to avoid manual resource management. A classic example would be using std::lock_guard over a raw std::mutex. Some RAII objects don't throw on resource acquisition failure (std::fstream) or they expect that resource acquisition can fail (std::unique_lock with std::try_to_lock tag). Other RAII objects might not require any resource in the constructor at al, instead their only job is to release the resource that is given to them, like std::unique_ptr.
The contrarian dynamic strikes again!

This is special.

It's bad enough that too much of the internet is in walled gardens. It's bad enough that one company makes most of the browser and search decisions. It's bad enough that phones have controlled app ecosystems. And just when you thought they were running out of controls to take, here's an idea where the browser won't even be on your computer. This is how you get a web that is optimized for a $50/month browser service where you can't even pick your extensions.

> How can we work towards a better world when people just shoot down any idea that they don't agree with instead of trying to expand their perspective?

For you to consider: Don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.
The thesis of my so-called argument is that I'm skeptical (that itself is rather irrefutable, but I did list reasons for my skepticism); I've yet to see comprehensive analysis of the census accuracy, and until I do, I'll continue to treat any conclusions drawn from the census with skepticism
It's interesting. I had to use mercurial for work at some point and I just could not get comfortable with it. I know several people that feel like me, and several that feel the same about git. I wonder what the difference leading to that are.
If the justice system started acting this way too where they don't tell you what crime you committed, what proof they have and how others can not commit such crimes, then I don't think that would mean "minimum amount of information is beneficial to the health of the society as a whole". This is basically letting get away with arbitrary rules without any accountability.
We understand this one surprisingly well.

The seminal paper from 1957 is https://journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.29.... that figured out all of the reactions involved. Then used their predictions of the process to predict the distribution of observed isotopes of all of the elements. Those predictions were surprisingly accurate and have been refined more. See https://www.sciencealert.com/this-awesome-periodic-table-sho... for the outcome of that.

Incidentally the photon takes so long to escape because it gets absorbed and reemitted over and over again in a drunken walk. A supernova is fast because most neutrinos just escape, but with enough being stopped to rip the star to shreds.

I use this callback to capture the 'data' that caused the crash, so that it can be used to recover later or better understand why the crash happened.

If I have as significantly long transaction, I can restart the transaction from transaction_id + 1 forward and then handle the actual transaction out of band by hand if its something very odd.

I usually insert a logger in these code paths too, but the crash handler is usually after the logger, which makes it easier to reason what has happened if you are dealing with mutable state.
