10G Ethernet at least is not unusual for enthusiast-type stuff, and with the hardcore crowd I wouldn't be surprised to see some 25/40/100G kit - and this is clearly a hardcore enthusiast offering for now. E.g. IMHO doesn't make much sense unless you are hosting stuff at home etc.

I don't know how many times I've come across articles like this where the subject is an image or a video or some other media and yet the article doesn't actually contain it. This one is like an extreme version of that where they have quite a few nice illustrations... but not the actual poster.

This is precisely why all the international responses to the current incident focus on using the military interception rather than the principle of forcing a plane to land just to get your hands on one individual.

EU countries like Spain and Italy denied access to their airspace to a diplomatic flight in what was essentially equally immoral stunt as the one Belarus pulled. Only with the added "bonus" of showing that being a diplomat means nothing. Now the same countries have to walk the fine line of accusing the enemy while not incriminating the frenemy.
In France we call those "yellow unions", as opposed to "red unions" which are more adversarial with the company.

The most notable yellow union is CFDT, which is one of the largest cross-sector unions in the country. A saying I heard once was "Management could establish slavery, and CFDT would negotiate the weight of the chains".
Really neat tool. Reminds me of a favorite quote:

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. - A River Runs Through It - Norman Maclean

Does this only apply to the adenovirus vaccine or could this happen with the mRNA ones too?

It sounds like only the adenovirus, in which case the naming of the syndrome is… unfortunate in the middle of a stalling vaccine rollout. It will sow confusion I think.

Very, very interesting point.

Art has a couple of sticky points that allows it to be used as storage of value:

* It is impossible to copy and produce second original

* It is recognizable by trained and common people alike, it is useful a symbol of status

* New art inherits some of artist's prestige; say a newly discovered Picasso painting will be recognized as valuable just because it's a Picasso

* It is very difficult to produce enmasse - a computer-generated drawing in the style of Picasso will not be valued as an original Picasso

* Wealthy people agree it's a storage of value - when somebody needs liquidity they can be assured that somebody will buy their unique piece.

Do NFTs touch all of these points? 1, yes. 2. they're trying to build the fame of NFTs now. 3. they're trying to build it now, very unlikely it will succeed. 4. Are some NFTs esthetically pleasing ? I would guess this is why it's needed to be tied to an artwork. 5. Unlikely.

If non-experts are in charge of individual funding, then you're virtually guaranteed to get nonsensical decisions. It couldn't possibly work, and even if you got it to work, the results would be abysmal.

> Can you see why funding something with no accountability might be considered problematic?

Maybe you're confusing budget decisions with funding and hiring decisions. These are fundamentally different. Universities and research institutions, as well as national funding authorities, get budgets that are decided politically, i.e., by elected representatives. These can have broad categories and guidelines or preferred research areas (e.g. "excellence initiatives"). Budgets are usually allocated well in advance, for instance our national funding authority gets budget security for 4 year periods (if I'm not mistaken). How they spend it is dictated by political guidelines for the respective period and plenty of complicated national and international laws.

In contrast, I was talking about hiring decisions and decisions about individual funding. How can it not be obvious to you that these decisions need to be made by experts on the basis of CVs and scientific project proposals, not by politicians or other laymen?

Frankly, we (Serbia) have been told very clearly that we won't become member anytime soon as EU has first to solve some internal issues. Add to that that our politicians don't have any real desire to actually join and the end result is that everyone is just paying a lip service about joining.

In a country where prospect of joining never had strong support in general population (except in a sense that we would join only for money) even euro-enthusiasts figured out that joining isn't going to happen in short/mid term.

On the other side, our links to Russia in west media are pictured as much stronger than they really are. Culturally we are more western oriented and Russia is able do capitalize mostly on resentment regarding wars in '90. That won't disappear anytime soon but that's something where Russia plays only secondary role.

In the end Romania has no reasons to be on alert regarding Serbia (there was never a war between two countries, quite rare here), and minority issues aren't significant.
And how can one enforce it on a storage layer? There must be something in the application that determines user identity, which either threading, flawed logic, bug or caching (most likely) can mess up. In which case storage layer gets this identity information from application layer.
I would choose to be a colonist in a heartbeat, if the opportunity ever arises. I know full well I'll probably die there or even on the way.

That I can deal with sparse resources and the need to improvise daily.

> but we do not only write the code for the machine but also for another human being (that could be yourself at another moment of time of course).

That's the thing, isn't it? Various arguments have been raised all across this thread, so I just want to put a spotlight on this principle, and say:

Myself, based on my prior experience, find code with few larger functions much more readable than the one with lots of small functions. In fact, I'd like a tool that could perform the inlining described by the GP for me, whenever I'm working in a codebase that follows the "lots of tiny functions" pattern.

Perhaps this is how my brain is wired, but when I try to understand unfamiliar code, the first thing I want to know is what it actually does, step by step, at low level, and only then, how these actions are structured into helpful abstractions. I need to see the lower levels before I'm comfortable with the higher ones. That's probably why I sometimes use step-by-step debugging as an aid to understanding the code...
Instead of solving actual problems, politicians have the maturity level of small children. Good to know.
Yes?

The session layer should confirm and only accept that the other SSL-endpoint is an authenticated app. The app should do this as well.

If a toggle box exists that can cause this, I'd wonder how much of else of the implementation is worth saving.
In deep learning a lot of papers end up only on arXiv, and authors don't bother (or need) to send it anywhere. Or even more, some seminal papers and up only on the author's page (e.g. one introducing GPT-2 https://openai.com/blog/better-language-models/). I am not a big fan of the latter, as it gives problems with long-term availability.

Moreover, the correlation with acceptance and impact in existing, but not that high: https://medium.com/ai2-blog/what-open-data-tells-us-about-re...

Of course, only corporate researchers can rely on not publishing in established journals - as their salary and position does not come from "publish or perish" metrics. Ironically, it means that there is more academic freedom in private companies than in academia.

Totally anecdotal, and probably unrelated, I interviewed for Klarna a few years ago.

Mid process, they sent me some sort of timed bizarre IQ test that the recruiter claims EVERYONE who works there has to take.

That's when I knew that kind of working culture wasn't for me.
I realize you’re being sarcastic and that hacker news is a social media, however there is a difference in degree and what behaviors the site encourages. For me, personally, using HN and a very limited set of subreddits is an enjoyable waste of time, and doesn’t feel like an addiction. I would also credit HN as exposing me to technologies I might otherwise not have seen, and enriching my life in some small way.

As for other social media, I deleted my Facebook and Twitter and feel like a mentally healthier person for it, and I think it’s a choice everyone has to make for themselves, but we should be providing information and support to people who quit. I would liken it more to alcohol use: many enjoy it in moderation, it’s an addictive problem for some. I strongly dislike the semi-compulsory nature of Facebook groups for activities that only organize on Facebook.
Isn’t that literally what a program writer is?

You know, my father in law had some kind of stroke about 2 weeks after his first shot. I thought maybe it was more than coincidence since there were reports of increased occurence of stroke with the virus. Hard to say if it's just coincidence or not, but this paper is making me wonder if it may have been an adverse event.

The really frustrating part is that most doctors don't report things like this to VAERS. How can we have good data to analyze and find correlations if most doctors do only the legal minimum reporting?! They are only requires to report the types of known adverse events listed in the packet insert. This doesn't help identify new types of adverse events. This is the second time in as many years that I've witnessed something that has the potential to be a rare but serious issue related to vaccines not be entered by the doctors. I had to report one myself, and it looks like this other one will simply go unreported.

I was working on a software for devices that read stuff for blind people. Basically you put a newspaper on a table and it detects it and reads it aloud to you.

We had a feature where user can scan whole books just by turning pages and save them as audiobooks or txt with "audio tags". Basically the device records you saying the title saves it as metadata, and later you can browse the list of books listening to yourself saying their titles.

Sadly our hardware had mic near power lines and there was a lot of interference and the volume was pretty low, it was barely usable. So one of my tasks was to boost the volume and remove noise. I tried to write something to this effect, tested a few libraries, and eventually settled on just running sox in the background with several plugins and noise sample collected on our device under different loads. Works like a charm.

The best thing - a few years later I google how the devices are doing on the market and I've found a podcast by a blind guy reviewing it, and he mentioned how good the audio tag feature is :) It wasn't the best paying job but no B2B job gives you this kind of feedback.

Most of this code dates back to 1998, when I built a little 2 player Joust game to push the bounds of what you could do with Div (and at the time Layer) tags in the latest browsers such as IE4 and Netscape 3. Surprisingly, most of it still worked when I thawed it out recently, provided your browser knew about document.all.

Over the weekend, I brought it up to date a bit and introduced it to Socket.io. Thus far it hasn't seen more than a dozen players at a time, so I'm curious to see what happens when a bunch of folks jump in at once.

I'll stick around to answer questions (and likely post-mortem the bits that catch on fire).
It is, but GP's point is pretty clear. Perhaps a better way to express it would be: unlike natural languages, programming languages are insufficiently expressive for the code to tell the full story. That's why books tell stories, and code is - at best - Cliff's Notes.

I have to ask the candid question : is there any data to back the efficiency of financial sanctions ? Don't get me wrong, I find them preferable to military actions "in general" (although specific cases will differ, and military actions has not been extraordinary effective either...)

I'm probably negativly biased by not having seen many dictators fall in the recent years, and a bunch of autocratic government flourish, while the US and EU are enacting sanctions all the time.

That being said, maybe the effect can't be spectacular, and it's one of those "sit by the river..." things where you have to surrender to time and biology.
Oh yeah, it's already on the way.

Today, people have to agree with things (or at least not speak out against them) or risk losing job opportunities or being 'cancelled'.

Corporate jobs, social media, etc. Only those who have nothing to lose are able to truly speak their mind.

100GB downloaded over wifi or 1Gbps rj45 port wouldn’t make any difference over a 1Gbps connection, that’s the point here.
Wouldn’t the fact that the population is split 2/1 mean that it is very likely that unhoused people living in those tents do fall into that category? I believe that’s what the GP is referring to when they say that people have a warped view about homelessness; that the situation “seems” one way because of anecdotal experience and media representation.
