IIRC you used to be able to make a bootable Windows stick on Linux simply by extracting the contents of the ISO onto a USB stick and marking it bootable. Is that still possible now that EFI is everywhere?
Problems such as these (locked-out; no real support) are shared among all the big social logins providers (Facebook, Google, Twitter, ...). There was a related HN discussion[1] few months ago.

Considering Cinnamon is a fork of Gnome 3, it seems to be significant evidence of Gnome 3's influence. And Plasma was first released in 2014, 3 years after Gnome 3.

Gnome 3 had a HUGE affect on desktop environments, due to Gnome 2's popularity.
No modern metro system should have anything new with drivers, as of about 20 years ago. Now most systems were build when automation wasn't an option, and it does take years to upgrade, so I'll give them another 10 year to do all the needed upgrades to get rid of the now obsolete drivers. I'll be shocked if any make them that haven't already, but the upgrade and remodel cycle should be 30 years long for all transport systems so I have to give them those 10 years.
Easy to get confused similarly about trees that grow down in computer scientists' diagrams versus growing up in nature.

>Provide interesting problems that need solving. Be specific about them.

Something I am starting to realize is that frequently I am pitched some hot project during interviews or quickly after joining, but the projects _never_ pan out.

Not that the projects get tried out then killed. The projects just never materialize.

I was at one place and they had promised me essentially principal engineer, help us overhaul our stuff, we're fucked kind of role.

After a year, I was on a once a month QA rotation and when I wasn't, I was writing Cypress tests and never shipping anything due to the enormous tech debt leadership had no interest in fixing.
Lack of advertising, far smaller menu, and motivated workers. I really wish Americans would stop choosing objectively worse food (McDonalds) over In-n-Out...

That being said, it's long been time for In-n-Out to stop using American cheese and switch to Cheddar, but that's a whole industry problem...
My confusion about statements like this are understanding where the convention begins. Isn't it libc that sets up the stack? Couldn't it decide to set up the stack starting from the bottom of memory and put heap allocations at the top? I guess instructions like PUSH/POP and derivatives wouldn't be useful anymore so you'd have to recreate them. So I guess that means that the convention starts at the processor? You could store memory in the opposite way but it would just be slower since you wouldn't be able to use built in operations. Do I have that right?
with rockets and electric vehicles however science & engineering had an "angle of attack" based on fundamental discoveries in physics, and centuries of continuous progress , that's not the case with AI.

Deep learning is great for a few narrow cases but there is no path to general human-like intelligence required for a complex human-like activity like self-driving which has an infinitely long tail of edge cases you can't train for with these large and "dumb" ML models equivalent to curve fitting.

The mistake of Tesla is betting on covering more and more of these edge cases incrementally but what's needed is qualitative change rather than incremental improvement.

By qualitative change I mean actual model of human-like intelligence, including reasoning and "common sense", which is a prerequisite for self-driving. The solution to this problem requires more than the sum of its parts.

It's kind of like planning to build an airplane before figuring out Newton' basic laws of physics.

Yeah, my mom works at a bank in the US and within her department they have to take off at least 2 weeks consecutively and only that one person in the department can be off during that time for just this reason. They use it as a yearly check to make sure there is no fraud going on.
I can promise you that "People won't even show up for interviews. He's never seen anything like it." is not accurate. Either he isn't advertising the wage and he needs to be, or he is lying his ass off. I know so many people that would take any old job at $80k.
Tough position for Biden. The poor would rather prolong rent forgiveness + stimulus. The rich love the negative employment numbers since it implies lower rates for longer, which means more gains in the market.

Your original comment:

> .. as soon as the very generous unemployment came out she had dozens of people quitting. A lot of people prefer unemployment to menial jobs.

This comment:

> ...after last March they furloughed (laid off? not sure) a lot of people that they subsequently couldn't get to come back

Did it not occur to you that your statements are entirely contradictory? What actually happened here? Did people quit to get that sweet, sweet government lucre or were they "furloughed" ("no, we're not firing you, we're just not going to pay you or give you work for an indefinite period") and then decide that, gee, maybe they didn't want to come back to work for a company that kicked them to the curb the second things got tough?
> The world doesn't need more overhyped-never-delivered things. Let's make 100%ing cool again.

I suppose we could all get "100%" face tattoos. Too much?
Bonus (?): the stack going down rather than up means that overflowing a stack-allocated buffer will overwrite the contents that are already on the stack (as they have a higher address than the last item in the buffer), likely changing the return address of the function and thus making arbitrary code execution a breeze (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return-to-libc_attack).

Most operating systems and standard libraries have checks and countermeasures to make this a lot harder nowadays, but still.
Judges already have broad leeway in sentencing.
> the proposed “hosed" bracket bracket is about about 92nd-98th percentile by individual income

The figures get even worse in this case. The 95th percentile of individual income has far greater wage and wealth growth over the last 40 years.
If I were the PR guy for China and I could choose what the origin was, I'd go for wet market without a doubt. The "ancient food culture" argument is much more complex, easier to defend and easier to empathize with.

Bare metal hosting is a happy medium between co-lo and cloud. You don't have much control over the network, so it might not be enough if you need faster NICs than they offer, but if you fit in their offerings, it can work well.

Otoh, the bare metal hoster I worked with is now owned by IBM, and a big competitor is owned by private equity; bare metal from cloud providers still has a lot of cloudiness associated too. Maybe colo is the way to go.
It would serve us well to distinguish between different types of media critiques.

One the one hand, there's the critique that media institutions are becoming more commercialized, dumbed-down, and turned in to infotainment, where serious discussion and inquiry is thrown out the window in favor of shouting matches and sensationalism.

There's another critique that media is in service or left-wing, right-wing, capitalist, or corporate special interests and parrots the party line.

Yet another critique is that the media doesn't give marginalized voices enough air time.

So when you say "everyone is losing confidence in the press" that may be true in general, but different people are doing so for very different reasons.

The grandparent comment seems to be a critique of the third category, where they seem to want the mainstream media to give more air time to conspiracy theories in direct contravention to the consensus of the scientific community: which is that SARS-CoV-2 came from nature, not from a lab.
Any claims about labor shortage, hiring difficulties, "no one wants to work", etc. should always be read with the automatic addendum "...at the price we want to pay".
Dead people's families can. The parent poster talked about being `lucky` in that his parents could pay for his college. I want my kids to be `lucky` enough to afford housing and _if they really want_ college.

Nope, getting a timeout for that too.
Most companies buy the ARM CPU RTL or an existing hardened core for their chip.

Large companies like Apple have an architectural license and implement the entire instruction set on their own.

I worked for a couple of companies with ARM architectural licenses and there was a large ARM compliance suite of tests that had to be run and pass before you could claim that you made an ARM instruction set compatible CPU.

I have heard that Apple does not claim ARM compatibility and doesn't run the compliance suite which allows them a few shortcuts and other optimizations. Apple only cares about running Mac OS and iOS on their hardware so if they were incompatible with Linux/ARM or Windows/ARM they wouldn't really care.

I haven't been able to verify this. Linux/ARM seems to be running okay so far on the new Apple M1 chips.

I don't know if Apple would be affected much if Nvidia buys ARM. Their architecture license to implement from scracth is probably forever but maybe not
When this came up on HN before, it looked like the argument was premised on the divergence between RaTG13 and SARS-CoV-2 -- it's not reasonable to think some lab started from RaTG13 and ended up with SARS-CoV-2. It's a very long reddit thread and I'm not a biologist, so it's hard to be sure. But on that understanding, my objection is "WIV had many unpublished coronavirus samples, and took their database offline in fall 2019. RaTG13 is just the least distant relative to SARS-CoV-2 that they did publish." as I said last time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26756618
Except it wasn’t hastily built, and the tracking isn’t controlled by a gov agency in the nefarious way that you’re implying.
It has been increasing. 5 years ago we were more hopeful. However the needed parts have not delivered and so we are rightly looking harder.
That's my point. Presumably Detroit doesn't have winter driving conditions in the summer, in which case robotaxis are feasible seasonally, or when there hasn't been rain/freezing conditions for X # of days, etc. Determining a bound on operating conditions is a far easier problem than making a car that drives itself.

Before launching in any city, you have to validate that you can handle the idiosyncrasies of its driving environment. Perhaps the business side decides that Detroit isn't worth launching in, but <other snowy city> is drivable 200 days/yr and that's enough to warrant launching an intermittently-available service.

My ultimate point is that AVs can cover a lot of ground from a business perspective without getting to full universal-availability. This is helped along by a combination of validating each city independently[1], limiting operating conditions, and safe-fallback teleoperation for occasional use.

Validating a 2021 AV in a snowy environment isn't an inherently harder problem than validating a 2016 AV in a normal environment (with a safety driver), and a similar approach will be applicable.

You are supposed to create a new copy with some of the fields changed. Just like you do it with the java.time.* classes and others.
Reddit has become irrelevant so good luck with that!
Sounds like hindsight bias. If it was a no-brainer at the time, everyone would have wanted to buy Apple stock and few would have wanted to sell, pushing the price up to where it no longer is a no-brainer.
At this pay level, you can easily become an asset owner. You're supposed to become a home owner and a stockholder (at least through your 401k). Don't even pretend that anyone in that range has it rough.
It also dates the paper - even if it was generally surprising 10 years ago, it won’t be today. Although I doubt papers with this language are standing the test of time anyways.
I think the pattern was adopted from languages before Java which didn't have overloading.
In almost all these cases the doctor should know what the patient needs, pushing patients to ask their doctors about certain medicines.

The one case I think drug ads are legitimate is when it's a dramatic improvement in treatment for a live-with-it type condition. The prime example would be Viagra--before Viagra there were not any good options, a patient very well might not mention it to their doctor so the doctor wouldn't know to suggest it. Thus "talk to your doctor about new options for erectile dysfunction" ads should have been acceptable to run for a while. I'm not sure what the medical situation was when the overactive bladder ads were coming out, that one might also be acceptable. I can't think of anything else right now.
> Yet, this fake it til you make model has enabled reflexivity in the growth and stock price allowing Tesla and other Musk ventures to grow and accomplish a lot with amazing speed.

But once you are a company that size the goal is to grow and accomplish amazing stuff but with great margins.

Tesla has essentially arrived at destination with regards to MarketCap, it won't become a 5 trillion dollar company. Nobody will. There is such a thing as the Sherman Act and Antitrust.

Tesla still lags behind in every other metric (especially margins) compared to similar companies of that size.

Seems to me Musk will have to work a whole lot just deliver and thus mantain the current valuation and his level of net worth right now.

Alternatively he could get to 5 trillions by promising new products at an increasingly higher rate and thus avoiding the antitrust laws. Those laws were written for a company which actually has a market dominance, not a company which has a stock market dominance based on the promises of the CEO and people believing in it and buying the stock.

I think from what we've seen, he's going in this direction exactly, he'll keep inflating the bubble that's for sure. He only has one gear
Actually, using the passive voice should have been more clear, because in most sentences encountered in scientific papers the patient is the topic of the sentence, not the agent.

Unfortunately, in English, if you want to make the patient the topic of the sentence you are forced to use the passive voice, because there is no marker for the direct object of a verb, and then the sentence becomes less readable, because in English the passive voice is constructed with auxiliary verbs, so it is more complex than the active voice.

These are defects of the English language, so the recommendation to avoid the passive voice is specific to English and also to a few other modern European languages, which have also lost the features that enable a free order of the words.

In an ideal language, it should be possible to use a standard order of the words to express their syntactic roles without additional words, but there should also exist some optional prepositions or postpositions marking each possible syntactic role, to enable an arbitrary order of the words when desired.

In such a language you could choose freely the topic of a sentence without being constrained because some choices are awkward, like when using the English passive voice.
> go back later and add logic to getting and setting

Which, realistically, you're virtually never going to do - at least not often enough to justify the boilerplate and especially in the case of things like "records" which were probably auto-generated from a schema (with obligatory getters and setters) anyway. If you did, you'd end up confusing all of your callers who probably wrote client code presuming that what they provided in the setter was going to be exactly what they get back in the getter.
I've made many returns on AliExpress. I haven't even needed to ship the items back to get a refund.

Amazon will eventually drop you as a customer if you make it a regular thing to file returns.
>I assume that screenshot is a joke, the decorations don't look like that for me, they look small and unobtrusive.

I'm not exactly sure how they look like currently, as I don't use gnome (nor wayland), but that was the latest PR regarding CSD I was able to find.

>With respect, it's not. The client still must implement the semantics of the xdg-decoration protocol to tell the compositor that it wants a border.

Sure in wayland's case. But this is only because both systems needs to be supported. But it could be even more simpler with SSD only.

>Major versions of Qt and GTK are stable, i.e. if you target Qt5 and Gtk3, that won't change.

This is if they actually are. With dlopen/dlsym, you effectively get rid of all type-checking making the code more fragile.
I have several quips on this, some dry and most morbid unfortunately, as there is no other way but the truth to paint it. I am really looking forward to the day when medical device manufactures realize the profit opportunities from this technique by adding "features". Can anyone here provide a better reason than to always put one's health first?

1) The rich get richer, they also live longer too.

2) Please have finance work with data analysis on subscriptions to run a report against the master death file as we need to purge those who will no longer be paying. Data storage costs money and we do not need to keep rotting data.

3) Please contact the CEO, the CLO and the board. Let them know we are forwarding a voicemail we just received. The system architects designed the MVP based on first and last name for unique identification instead of a proper Uuid in the system. Time didn't allow us to refactor based on management pressures so when a customer, John Smith, failed to pay the system disabled every John Smith vest. A John Smith in good financial standing was killed last week and his widow just called and had her lawyer on the phone - she made some very impactful statements. Please consider this my two weeks notice as well.
Wasm 1.0 did not include garbage collection, but there is a lot of effort right now by many people to add it (that is what I work on myself currently).

Once wasm has GC, languages like Grain will be able to save a lot on code size, and have some advantages over the "first set" of wasm languages (C/C++/Rust/Zig/etc., all using linear memory), like smaller sizes, less memory fragmentation, and properly collecting cycles with JS.
Extremely useful. That framing conveys that it is not a matter of absolutes, but negotiation. Anything for a price.
It's pretty terrible.

If you go to the Windows 10 download page, you can trick it into giving you the ISO by changing your responsive view mode in dev tools to an iPad or something and refreshing the page. Then burn with Rufus.
I think the unaffordability of housing is a driver of this. At the rate prices increase saving a couple grand a year is basically pointless so might as well yolo on some crypto/gambling on the off chance of making it big.

It's not entirely illogical either if you assume the marginal utility of money is discontinuous and there is a jumps around at certain thresholds such as being able to afford a reasonable home.

Thanks for expanding. I agree with your delineation between raising awareness or convincing, I think. I don't think it's the most helpful way to understand ads and their potential for harm. There's another way to categorize ads - maybe orthogonal - based on whether they are presented as part of an advertising network or not. There's a fundamental difference between showing a box on a shelf and buying ads on a billboard. Or perhaps the line should be drawn at targeted ads. It's of course possible to show benign "we exist" ads via Facebook ads, or political disinformation ads in a newspaper, but it seems to me that certain methods of advertising are obviously more conducive to harmful, manipulative ads.

Also (and this is more radical), I do think it's a legitimate to want to unsubscribe, even from "we exist" ads. Attention is valuable, it shouldn't be considered an inalienable right to sneak anything you want into my consciousness for the purposes of selling. Even if you accept that it's not a zero-sum game. I recognize that this is not the status quo at all currently, but it's the feeling behind comments like the above.
A Comparison of Question-Answering ML Models
> Every other theory requires involving many more unsupported hypotheses.

No it doesn't.

All it takes is bats around farmed animals like minks or raccoon dogs.

That sets up a natural "gain of function" experiment with the bats passing viruses off to the farmed animals who pass it sequentially through the entire farm.

The humans who work at those farms then bring in human coronaviruses which could have recombined with the viruses in the farm.

You have large bioreactors doing gain of function experiments all over China right out in plain view, with Charles Darwin overseeing the lab work.

Lots of excellent recommendations starting from page 6 onward ("Theraputic studies")

An incomplete list of long term strategies presented in the paper:

- aerobic exercise

- b-vitamin supplementation (several different ones are mentioned), and magnesium supplementation

- ketogenic diet (train the brain to use non-glucose sources of energy)

- sleep management (are you getting enough?)

Given the root-cause analysis of migraines presented in the paper, there's one additional treatment which I'll experiment with: milk thistle supplementation. Milk thistle boosts levels of glutathione in the liver, which appears to have a bearing on migraines.
