This reminded me of DSL [0]. I used to use it as my router 15 years ago.

The box was loud while booting (because of the floppy), but once booted was completely silent as everything ran from RAM. The Pentium CPU had just a heatsink with no fan, and no fan on the power supply.

This is why expecting names (nicks and channels) on IRC to have any permanent meaning causes problems. The protocol was not designed for this (and I question weather it can be done in any reasonable way without a "benevolent dictator" kind of authority.)
Generally, no, it couldn't, unless you're buying a house for the only purpose of selling it later for a profit.

I added a clarifying edit to my comment above.
I don't think you understand. The mere fact that it COULD potentially be used by anyone is a defense against all complaints. Because democracy. Like a magic charm you see. No I have never read any theory or heard the phrase "material conditions" why do you ask.

I'm exaggerating but I fucking swear this is the level of sophistication we get from actual crypto fiends in here.
I think anyone who has worked a lot with MSSQL would disagree with Postgres being "so much better". It's only really in the last few years that postgres has pulled ahead, MSSQL was lot more feature rich and performant for a decade.
It seems that way because you are not aware if how it is being used in practice. As a savings vehicle, holding for 4 years has never been a mistake. Globally, and for half a decade, it has been protecting poor people by giving them an exit. Millions of Venezuelans have avoided starvation by using it to avoid massive inflation destroying their savings. It is held in every country and every community.

I remember comments just like yours in the past 4 years who pretended like everyone got in at $20k (a price that existed for a day).

Average price over past 4 years is way below todays price. And todays price is only down due to this coordinated FUD attack.

The difficulty adjustment would just make it a little easier to mine bitcoins, so miners would spend the same money. But at least they'd be using clean energy if the carbon tax were high enough.
Yeah, I just wanted to learn Linux. It worked as I learned a lot doing this project :)
Look at Mr. Moneybags over here, "a single 5$ ... Nothing huge."
I think focusing on being a millionaire is not great, simply because a million bucks ain't what it used to be. Some places that will barely buy you a home. Top 0.1% doesn't sound so bad to me.
Great points but I want to say that this is partially true. Yes you’ll see code in the shader assembly needed to sample a texture for example, but it will use instructions for vertex interpolation you just don’t have access to directly if you cut the pipeline for a visibility buffer technique. Also for barycentrics, we can query that from the hardware rasterizer, but the tradeoff there is storage. Also, if you do this in compute, unless you have access to the recently added compute derivatives, you’re still responsible for managing the bookkeeping needed to compute the finite differences.

The general trend has been towards having general compute yes, but check the ISA and read your shader disassemblies before drawing any conclusions.
This would give an advantage to Bitcoin miners in 3rd world countries where carbon credits and other fanciful notions are optional.

We [the developed world] would be outsourcing our Bitcoin pollution to these 3rd world countries and also contributing to “environmental racism” or whatever the left is calling it these days.

AFAIK the only player to have tested positive for COVID in that outbreak is Gleyber Torres (the rest were support staff), who had an actual COVID infection before, which undermines your idea that getting COVID is somehow superior to getting vaccinated.

And as already mentioned, the Yankees received the J&J vaccine, which is not an MRNA vaccine.

What do you mean "they haven't officially"? The link I posted states "the first major Rust components were shipped in Firefox 56", is this not official?. Do you believe that is wrong? (I'm just trying to reconcile what I'm reading in these comments with what is stated in the link I posted.)
It’s sad you refused to mount an actual argument and instead are engaging in ad hominem based on a strawman you erected.

Ok, I got 12, 18, 45. Does anyone want to verify my results? If so, I'll write up a paper describing what they mean...

Hopefully it is clear that that data is useless without some written text explaining what it means. Given that for hundreds of years the accepted way of presenting that explanatory text was by writing papers, I don't see any reason to abandon that. Tweaking our strategies for replication (after a description of the experiment has been published!) and reputation don't seem to contradict that.
A more common thing I think is just trying to collect and hoard too much data.

Most of even these worries such as soft deletes disappear if you're not trying to keep every scrap of data you can.

Focus on the core business requirements and competencies and you likely don't need to store the minutae of every interaction forever.

How are state machines "a very different way of looking at code"? It's basically assembly with jumps as state transitions. A decent programmer already understands this from assembly lessons (and avoids doing it by hand, leaving it to the compiler).

I have the Bluray plan on Netflix, and the local public library has lots more DVDs I can borrow for free. In addition, the local cable has TCM which runs older classic movies. Between the three of them, I am able to see pretty much whatever I want.

I also set up a home theater in the basement. The HD projector was somewhere around $3xx from Amazon. The big screen was $50 from Amazon, and about $50 of lumber to make a frame for it. The sound system was $40 from the thrift store.

It's as good as seeing a movie in the theater!
Sure, but I don't think most rich people think poor people have just the same choices. That's not implied when they think choices make people poor.
It can kinda-sorta become an investment but only if you are prepared to move somewhere cheaper to retire.
Poor people will still pay in the form of higher prices that bake in the coat of the carbon tax.

Giving Alex Jones a platform is ... well, its understandable if people give you a hard time for doing that.

That’s not true.

The power plant in upstate New York has been offline for almost a decade. It was purchased and reactivated specifically to mine Bitcoin. https://www.nysfocus.com/2021/04/13/new-york-bitcoin-mining-...

The power plant in Montana was due to close in 2018, until they realized they could sell the power to Bitcoin miners. https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/bitcoin-miner-mar...
Not just for interviewing.

When I bought my first Car, a fraternity brother of mine was able to get me a GM Friends and Family Discount. He wound up having to get my SSN to give to his Father so that his father could get it put 'in the system'. Which at the time (2006) may or may not have involved others handling that info in the process.

Not gonna lie, if it wasn't for how long I'd known him etc, I would not have believed that GM would use such a thing.
Vitess for PostgreSQL will probably just be... Vitess.

The concepts behind Vitess are sufficiently general to simply apply them to PostgreSQL now that PostgreSQL has logical replication. In some ways it can be even better due to things like replication slots being a good fit for these sorts of architectures.

The work to port Vitess to PostgreSQL is quite substantial however. Here is a ticket tracking the required tasks at a high level: https://github.com/vitessio/vitess/issues/7084
Do you like upper middle class better? No, they're not flying private jets but unless they're right out of school with a lot of debt they're probably pretty comfortable.
I wouldn't imagine postgres is really much harder than MySQL.

Your mortgage is itself an asset. It’s one of the best hedges against inflation - as long as you don’t fall into the refi trap.
Externalities are costs dumped on others who didn't agree. Hence taxing externalities and using the revenue for the common good corrects for that. Hence it is free market.

mysql8 has gis/spatial stuff built in now. may not quite be on par with postgis, but... i also don't have to futz with "doesn't come baked in". Dealt with someone who wrote a whole bunch of lat/lon/spatial stuff in client code because we're on postgres but ... he couldn't get postgis installed (then even if he could, figuring out how to convince the ops people to add a new 'thing' in production would have been a delay).

having stuff baked in is often a win.
Bitcoin was as created to resist censorship— hence Wikileaks was able to raise money after visa et al banned them. It was created to resist debasement- as a result it maintains its value as inflation ramps up.

Thus you would actually not want to buy things with bitcoin, and instead spend rapidly depreciating USD.

I'm curious how closely this would match overall HN traffic -- if only very loosely, or if almost pixel-for-pixel.

Only @dang could tell us!

(It's not at all obvious to me that as HN has grown more popular, whether the proportion of voting to non-voting users would have changed as well.)
> Yup, this would ensure the benefits of bitcoin mining would not outweigh the costs, and it would make most of it unprofitable.

How did you conclude that the price or difficulty factor would not adapt to make it profitable?

For folks looking for something like this in an app store, I think I found TextSniper here on HN last August, and it's also in the great alt app store "SetApp" collection:

“TextSniper is an easy-to-use desktop Mac OCR app that can extract and recognize any non-searchable and non-editable text on your Mac's screen. As an extra feature, it can turn OCR text into speech. It is a super convenient alternative to complicated optical character recognition tools.”

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/textsniper-ocr-simplified/id15...

“Meet lightning-fast text recognition on Mac. TextSniper is an app that can extract text from a selected portion of your screen. Forget taking notes — get TextSniper to capture and save what’s important.”

https://setapp.com/apps/textsniper

Consolidating into this note, OwlOCR is mentioned elsewhere in this post:

“Capture any text on your Mac's screen. Digitize images and PDFs to searchable PDFs using OCR right on your Mac.”

https://owlocr.com

“OwlOCR allows grabbing a part of the screen and having any text in that area be instantaneously recognized and copied to clipboard. Additionally, the application supports recognizing text from PDF files, images and converting the contents to plain text. All conversion is done securely on-device - none of your images or files are sent to third-party services in the cloud.”

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1499181666

// Both process on device, OwlOCR mentions Apple's algo. Users of both in this thread are happy.

firefox now requires developers to 'sign' their extension with mozilla, and has disabled the ability to side load extensions manually for more than just temporary use, unless you are using some special developer version of firefox. chromium still allows users to side load their extension. it's ironic that google would allow more freedom to the user than mozilla.

No, because the general idea behind efficiency has to do with the costs that are incurred to achieve a particular outcome. For example, a method is said to be more efficient than another if it achieves the same outcome at a lower cost. The outcome in the case of cars is movement because that's the purpose they're built for, so a measure of car efficiency has to reflect how costly is to move the car some unit of distance. The RPMs the radiators fans do per mile don't tell us anything about how costly it is to move the car, therefore, no, it's clearly not a good efficiency measure.
That is a compelling argument for no more C in Linux. But a compelling argument and $5 gets you a cuppa.

Any argument that Rust, by contrast, would be OK in the kernel applies at least as strongly to C++, because C++ can read kernel C headers, where Rust will need hand-maintained equivalents. (Some automation is possible, but not enough.) The FUD Linus flings about C++ applies equally to Rust. (Anybody who says Rust is less complicated does not know Rust well at all.)

But argument validity is not what carries the day: bad arguments tend to fail, but good arguments get pot luck. Ultimately, it comes down to biases of those with power to decide: C seems to them like a familiar quantity (full of risks, but favored risks), while Rust happens to be hot just now.

In three years' time, Rust could very well not be so hot, and a new new thing might take over its social role. Zig could conceivably be that thing. (Zig isn't "safe", by Rust's definition, but by then something else may be more important; anyway the lack of safety does not disqualify C.) The new hotness will necessarily already exist today, to be mature enough to consider then, but not necessarily one that immediately comes to mind. Being different from Rust could be, by then, among the new hotness's attractive qualities, much as percieved differences from C++ boost Rust in some milieus.
Yes. I view Elixir kinda like 2 different languages in 1: the functional language and the process language. The process language is the most unique one though so you will probably spend more time learning that than the functional one.
You can also downsize and stay in the same area. Not uncommon for empty nesters.
Somebody with an HN account said that they write Rust for a purpose and company he won’t disclose? Well, that shows me.

One extra note: LOGO does not have closures (closures require lexical scope). Dynamic scope gives the possibility to, e.g., define new control flow without quoting, but lexical closures are not possible.
Ah, thanks, i completely overlooked that mention of HBM2E.

So one stack of HBM2E can hold 24 GB, accessed at 410 GB/s. And we can have multiple stacks per package - i see lots of diagrams with four stacks. So a plausible scenario is 80 cores with 96 GB and 1640 GB/s of HBM2E.

Per core, that's 1.2 GB and 20.5 GB/s. That's ~320 million cache line fills per second. If the clock speed is 4.6 GHz, that's a cache line fill every 15 cycles, or a 64-bit load every 1.8 cycles. That seems pretty good!

I agree. This is the biggest misunderstanding about what “follow your passion” means.

It doesn’t mean “I want to win Wimbledon so I should follow my tennis”

It means “I love playing tennis. I should pursue that and make it my vocation.”

The attacks on “follow your passion” really annoy me, because they’re based on a straw man that says - you need to blindly follow what you enjoy and ignore all other concerns. Which is stupid, and no one would ever advocate for that. We’re just saying - life is short, do what you love, and aim to make it your main vocation. All within reason, which shouldn’t need to be said.

And now all these people are saying “don’t follow your passion follow the money” and it’s just the worst advice, because at least if you follow your passion you’ll enjoy what you do some of the time, even if that time is around a day job.
5% of one hundred million people is 5 million people.
This is incorrect - from population studies, we now know that both the mRNA vaccines reduce infection rates and reduce severity of symptoms for those who do get infected. In fact, they both show about 90% efficacy at preventing infection at all. That number is probably trending down a bit with all the new strains, but it is still very high.
Providing source code is a good thing, but a lot of people confuse re-running experiments with replicating them. If you take the authors' source code and re-run it, then any bugs are going to invalidate your results too. The only way to actually have confidence in the paper's results are to rewrite the software from scratch.

In fact, I'd actually go further and question what kinds of errors could possibly be caught be running the same software that the authors did? Any accidental bugs will remain, and any malicious tampering with the experiment data is exceedingly unlikely to be caught even with a careful audit of the code.
A pet peeve of mine is the almost complete lack of empiricism in Computer Science. "Nevertheless, we believe that, even today, the advantages of using Rust [in the Linux kernel] outweighs the cost." Where is the evidence?

"Rust is obviously a better choice for Linux than C." "Ok, if it is obvious, it should be easy to demonstrate?" This is not only about Rust - 99% or so of all new tech can't demonstrate any benefits.

I'd personally take a CV with a big grain of salt, as I personally wouldn't see value in a high karma due to publishing popular stories.

On the other hand, I wouldn't discard it in principle. The comments history of a user says a lot about the user's ideas and approach to discussions/debates.

HN shaped the way I discuss/debate more than anything else in my life, so there can be a significant value in it.
