Ask HN: Where to Look for Summer Internship?
I am a pre-final year student actively looking for internships. I recently quit from a internship as there was no room to grow and toxic work conditions. But now I think it's too late to apply for internships. Anyways do mention any resources.

You'd save so much in taxes that you can buy your family first class tickets to visit you.

Getting rid of racket forcing you to spend half of your hard earned money to buy taxes from wasteful government is worth the attendance.
That link is hilarious. Try to read what it says: FDA admits they have not reviewed the data on which to base this conclusion: "The FDA has not reviewed data to support the use of Ivermectin in COVID-19 patients to treat or prevent COVID-19..."
Once again, if that had been the case, he was either not as dangerous as people thought, or that didn't happen. Otherwise millions of people would have shown up with guns and it would have been a bloody revolution.
That's when the article was first published. As it states, it is updated twice a week. Look at the most recent entries.
This masterpiece of user respect actually reverts periodically to the original, default, "shit up my timeline with likes of my follows from people i don't follow" mode that benefits twitter at your expense, even after you've set it to "don't do that" multiple times.

That, along with the fact that Twitter now censors its search results, are the main reasons I stopped donating content to the platform and deleted my account after 12 years.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Email?
I can give people an email address to contact me, but that's certainly not foolproof. What other good and reliable methods are there to let people get in touch?

I'd love to hear about Free and Open solutions, but if you're out there using Discord as your prime external comms channel, I'd love to hear about that too!
Thanks!

The URL to the media file is easy to see in inspector, in firefox or chrome. it downloads happily with curl as long as you preserve the cookies.

The filenames follow a (mostly) predictable pattern, amenable to a simple for loop. After downloaded, I extracted the audio with ffmpeg.
Many parts of the article uses a device what I'd call "journalistic pseudo-contrast":

When discussing the super-rich, many bring up family dynasties such as the Waltons of Wal-Mart, or the Rockefellers and Koch brothers of energy fortunes...But who is actually in the 0.01 percent?... Smith, Yagan, Zidar, and Zwick find that the 1 percent’s income is being driven by owner-managers, mostly of small and medium-sized companies..."

You may think the rich are traditional capitalists - ie, wealthy business owners. But after a lot of guff, we'll say they are exactly that.

And a lot of rhetoric of the article involves the kind of balancing act found in policy papers aimed at the wealth - use euphemisms that are technically truthful but make wealthy sound much more creativity, benevolent, dynamic, etc than they are.
Great video!

How can you accumulate enough mass to make this possible without destabilizing the entire solar system? Even getting to the Oort Cloud to collect mass outside of our solar system is 3 light years away.
Not everyone in prison has harmed or threatened to harm others.

As an example, it was only 2003 when the US Supreme Court struck down a Texas sodomy law—and if they hadn’t, the victims of the law would probably have been imprisoned.

How many people in the US are in jail and prison on drug possession charges again? Many stadiums’ worth.
Fair enough, I should explain.

When I'm reading or writing code for Java,or C I am reading or writing code. My brain parses all the visible characters and safely ignores the invisible whitespace. Indentation is just better readability.

When I'm reading or writing Python/Yaml, suddenly I'm having to pay attention to what is not visible to my eye as well. Its extra cognitive load and that reduces readability.

Mainly because they give you a map and a road map if you will to explore the subject. Long way to go to improve the map and ways to explore it based on individual personality and skill levels but that will happen with time.
There are already measures like that where the memory controller attempts to identify "victim rows" and refresh them, but attacks can fool the victim row detection and succeed anyway.

Misleading headline, the article clearly states they do have an age verification process and that some teenagers use fake ID or other people's passports to sign up.

What do you mean? What specific issues are you trying to solve or work around?
I work with pricing life insurance in a european country. This study of course piqued interest, because I also see a negative correlation between socio-economic class (e.g. wage) and death probability. I don’t think working a lot is enough for a higher probability of death, you somehow might need to be a lower socio-economic class, as well. I’m not sure if the study controls for this.
Any subliminal system that avoids Doppler shifting everything in front of your ship into hard X-rays is going to be a big deal. Also help with micrometeoroids.

Everyone papers over these very real problems like they’ll just get solved. But if you can keep your ship at .05c while moving at .4c relative to your starting point that’ll be a huge deal.

> They estimate that and wealthy know all about it. There is no equation for calculating value of a piece of art.

They calculated "Wealth" for this article.

There are many many valuation methods for assets, including art, and each has its trade offs (yes they can be gamed). Unless you want to take this to its philosophical conclusion of no observation being able to be an objective truth.
What always tickles me is if the immunity fades, you get a bout of no taste and smell for a few days, and recover again.

I don’t think we’re appreciating the nuance surrounding “survived”...anecdotally my partner who worked in a hospital during peak infection has horror stories of “survivors” with debilitating long term effects and unexpected complications with other diseases. Something to consider when we talk numbers.
According to the scaling laws it scales on a log scale.
In literary criticism too, there have been approaches that look at texts themselves without concern of who wrote it and when it was written. Much of what makes a text aesthetically notable and meaningful is the text itself and not its external context.

Appreciation of art itself can be carried out without reference to Artist biography and the history of art.
Any radar that can see F-22 or F-35 will in turn be visible by them. It will be a cat-and-mouse game. In which case training, doctrine, improvisation and quick learning matter a lot. Weapons may be expensive, but training is expensive too. Expenses aside, how can Russia train to use its S-500 against US stealth jets? Using what jets as mock F-35's? Conversely, the US can very easily train against a simulated S-500 battery. It's not like S-500's radars are some big secret.
How do you know that reinfection is rare esp for variants? We've been in lock down and meant of those infected self isolate voluntarily or as a consequence of being sick.

And what's the consequence of your pov? That everyone just gets sick and those who make it are all good? What good is public policy if it doesn't protect the public?

The first FAX was sent (Arthur Korn) in 1906. Western Union transmitted a halftone photograph in 1921. In my mind's eye, I see inventors' minds spinning all over the place. Transmitting pictures. Transmitting -moving- pictures. I Must Do That.
Aye, I’d much rather fight the bull head on than play matador
Mastadon will never, ever take off because of the federated decentralized bullcrap. No one cares about that shit and it makes the product confusing and weird.
I think my two tests are still valid on the claim:

1. is the length of the period of those people from getting infected to death relatively short?

2. are there any other significant factors contribute to those people's death in that period?

Even if deaths were patients older than the median life expectancy with significant existing health problems prior to the infection, they can still pass those two tests, so most of them were still killed by the virus.
No Future?
I wrote a paper detailing one last month, and conjectured that a different approach would work as well. I believe that other researchers are close to proving my conjecture. So yes.
Crystal isn't the "only option" for fast Ruby because it's not Ruby. If Crystal is an option, so are a lot of languages.

The rocket equation is every bit as unsympathetic to your desires as the laws of thermodynamics are. Fuel requirements go infinite very quickly.

The critical is infecting at what rate and for the flue how communicable. You cannot define responsible without quantified chances.

The article you have given is written by people that haven't given a single probability number. But they declare that it is unsafe. Declaring un/safety without measuring risk is senseless.
I have a difficult life and I'm growing very tired of this question. I've even had to ask some of my neighbors not to greet me that way.
"the cronic"
That makes me wonder what could we be doing now that we're not? The time now is just like the time when you were in the lecture at Caltech. I kind of wish we had recorded more of Steve Jobs and wish he was more open for university lectures/presentations. This is their legacy and although we document their story, nothing quite beats audio/video of their own self - as they express grand ideas.
Your evidence is contradicting your opinion!
Ignoring politics is an indulgence of the privileged class. If you curate your feed to avoid it then you are perpetuating harm.

This is at least the argument that you will hear. On the one hand completely shutting out political content does seem like a let them eat cake attitude. But of course it isn’t binary. The problem is that the political content is everywhere now and it’s toxic. I don’t want to ignore the problems of the world and I also cannot allow the endless yelling to drag me into depression.
Your statement really resonate with me as a scientist (phd) and a father. I want my kid to learn science at an early age (not baking soda volcano).

But more how would you go about testing an hypothesis (design of experiments) how do you know if the result are statistically significant? if it’s statistically significant is it enough to say it’s true (light can behave like a particule and like a wave so is it both or neither ...)
SICP is more relevant than ever depending on where in the stack you are working on.
Of course the answer is positive.

But it will take a drastic / complete rewrite of the VM, as it happened to Chrome's and Firefox's JavaScript VMs.

This means many man-years, and a certain break in the continuity, maybe with small but noticeable deviation in the VM's behavior. If we squint just so, we can consider Ruby 3.0 to be such a rewrite.

Crystal is a similar rewrite effort, but a one that isn't trying to stay backwards-compatible.
> They are separately in identity ?

That is a heavily debated question, both in Russia and Ukraine. It is possible to say the "russian" culture originated in (what is today) Ukraine.

What we now call "Russia" was the expanding frontier of the original.
This statement is overly alarmist. 98% of people survive covid. >85% are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. The vast majority of people survive without any issues. The biggest problem with covid is how infectious it is, which is what really overwhelms health care systems.

Congrats. It's really heart-warming to see the community supporting someone like this who is working on interesting projects and who is generous with sharing their knowledge and their code right back.

Watching even half of one of the videos, it's clear that Andreas is thoughtful individual with a talent for explaining things, who has managed to gather a vibrant community around him. This is such an inspiration that I headed right on over to patreon and signed up, too :)

To be just, Lua is drastically simpler as a language. A simpler language likely takes less effort to write an efficient JIT for its VM.
Don't know about the U.K or the U.S. but saying Indian Govt. denied the efficacy of wearing masks is false. The Indian Govt. had some questionable reaction to the pandemic but they never denied efficacy of wearing masks and vaccinations. On the contrary they actually encouraged people to wear masks and get vaccinated as fast as possible (when there were plenty of vaccines that is).
I think JavaScript performance received very significant investments from the biggest players (Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc.) thanks largely to the fact that you can’t throw more compute at it — JavaScript has to run on crappy user devices developers can’t upgrade. Ruby (or Python) never received anywhere near the JavaScript level of investment in performance. Of course there are fundamental design limitations too.
I look at these and the only thing I can think of is how barbaric, medieval, and pointless the American prison system is. It's no wonder that civilized countries are starting to refuse extradition on those grounds.
Anecdotally, I don’t know anyone personally who has gotten COVID. That doesn’t mean that I discount science and don’t believe that it exists.

Reinfection is extremely low otherwise it would have shown itself in the data. That’s really a simple fact.
Some of these would definitely be good to have issues/pull requests to track progress on. That said, I'm not sure how useful parametrized tests are in a language with first class functions. Also, for more useful error outputs, there was a PR merged just a few days ago that helps with improving the error output.

In general though, specific issues with use-cases (or even better PRs) are the best way to direct change in an open source language. It's much easier to prioritize development if we know that a specific feature is wanted.
This prior discussion [1] on levin complexity might be relevant. I think the catch is basically that there's a huge constant out in front which makes this impractical. IIUC, in the case of levin search, the reason for this huge constant is that at a high-level that the algorithm functions as follows (for the specific case of solving 3-sat) for an input x of size n, enumerate all TMs 1..n and simulate each on x for a certain number of steps (fixed function of n). If any one of them produce a satisfying assignment, output that assignment.

You can see why this is a type of universal search: if the optimal algorithm is say polynomial (e.g. we assume that P=NP), then the above algorithm is also close to polynomial of one higher degree (as simulation is only a log factor) and by definition always outputs a satisfying assignment. The catch is that it only works if n is large enough to allow it to "discover" the right TM, and in the worst-case the minimum value of n for which the algorithm starts to work is the index of the encoding of a 3-sat algorithm, which is probably quite long. (A natural question to ask is that if such an TM index can be discovered, why not just use that TM directly? I believe it's because levin algorithm doesn't guarantee that the TM that we discover which produces a satisfying assignment is necessarily a valid TM for all inputs x. It could just be we got lucky and found a TM which worked only for this specific case.)

> Of course, you have to root your phone first

I've actually managed to disable all Google apps (including the Play Store, Google Services Framework, etc.) on my KeyOne without rooting it. It's possible with adb-disable, though results seem to vary by OEM.

Hell, the only reason I went back is because I use a VoIP number, and calls weren't 100% reliable without a notification framework. The only issue is that Google's was disabled, and any alternative required root to grant it system-level permissions.
I believe the summary was quite accurate, but in case it wasn't clear, let me also clarify; in the general case, violence is not justified. In the specific case that you mentioned, violence is also not justified. This is quite a clear, delineated boundary. With respect to "not having the ability to verbally defend", do you recognize the contradiction in posting that on a public discussion of someone expounding their viewpoints, being covered by national media? This shared fiction of being unable to "defend" is victim-mentality, and used as a shortcut to resort to the threat of violence, which was really the intent anyway.
I miss Ultima Online. That game really was ahead of its time.
On the east coast its way less 'appropriate' to interact with strangers so friends are a more limited set, necessarily brought together by more than mere chance. The cultural differences are so fascinating.
No, that's not what the survey shows. It shows that for one specific "conspiracy theory" (very scientific term here) there is a correlation between subscribing to it and the points mentioned. Obviously this true for any belief. The irrational belief in Islam correlates strongly with being Asian and North African, for some inexplicable reason, and there aren't many white people who believe that Jesus was African. Also people who watch CNN all day believe different misinformation from people who watch FOX news. Mysterious, mysterious.

How about saying something like "That was all, what do you think?". (I'm eastern-european as well :p)
I have no problem with subscription, but this feels like a really lazy attempt to monetize TBH, albeit being cheap.

Also note, HN folks are nothing like common users, and using their experience as indicator for public reception is a really bad model to say the least.

I just heard Matz saying yesterday additional effort will be made to make Ruby run faster specifically on benchmarks. He said while they don't always correlate completely to real world performance, since developers seem to care a lot about benchmarks he wants Ruby devs to feel good about themselves and score well on these.
It's been very interesting to me listening particularly to American podcasts and the extent to which the American left equates Covid rules to piety. You can here that there's significant genuine resistantance to the idea of letting go of the restrictions as they've become part of identity.

I'm American, but I've lived in Germany for the last 20 years. Here, vaccines are being used as the carrot to be able to get rid of the restrictions (like mask wearing, limiting of contacts, etc.). It feels like everyone wants to get rid of the restrictions here, and it's more of a fight about who gets to do that first and why.
There's significantly more motivation to run JS faster since JS isn't a choice; if you need an interactive website, it will use JS. Ruby is a choice.
I don't want to leave that door open.

Do a bit better research. It stands for Phrack World News in this context. I also read Phrack back in the day as well.

How about trying to search through all the Phrack articles to find the use of the word "pwn" that doesn't refer to Phrack World News? Spoiler alert: you won't find any usage of "pwn" or "pwned" until well past 2000. If it was so much part of hacker culture you would have seen a reference in the earlier articles, but you don't.
Yes it really depends on what you are trying to explore. In this article they even excluded realized capital-gains from their income calculations which is going to change the profile considerably of who is included (wage earners I guess?).

I wonder how much overlap there even is between the top .01% Wealth households and .01% income without capital gains.
