Thanks for this, I didn't see the comment in the article.

The minute I saw "horizontal slit eyes" I was pretty much done. There's literally no way to know if that was true, for that to be a claim in a proposed theory rightly discredits that theory. I can see them being hairy. But deducing from having larger eyes that they'd be nocturnal and therefore have horizontal slit eyes...

And then there's the issue of the flat face. I'm no anthropologist but I understand the structure of the face and I have seen a few pictures of Neanderthal skulls, they absolutely had a protruding hooded nose just like us, no doubt about it.

Looking at a skeleton, they obviously are very similar to us in form. All this stuff about them being vastly different looking monstrous human relatives is just fantasy.
Mystery of Intel Cpuid 21H Leaf
The latest June 2021 SDM manual volume 2A, chapter 3 added a mysterious note about CPUID leaf 21H:

"Invalid. No existing or future CPU will return processor identification or feature information if the initial EAX value is 21H."

Any idea why this is specified? They claim the leaf will just always return zero, or if max leaf is lower, returning the highest valid values as usual. This makes it forever just unused/unusable. But why?
Maybe the reason for the attrition.

I'm a white dude but work in a foreign country (also predominantly white). For the most part I'm just "one of the guys". I only really feel like an outsider when corporate policy dictates we have to talk about cultural sensitivity towards foreigners and I happen to be the only foreigner in the room.

For people of different races, I assume this feeling is switched on practically all the time because now the differences aren't only felt during HR mandated meetings. And moreover, they're not differences that have any bearing on the person's contribution to the company (any more than my status as a foreigner does).
Okay, then that defeats the purpose of why _I_ chose Migadu, where there is no limit on the login accounts.

Hey HN! I’m Dominic, an engineer at Retool, and I'm excited to be sharing this on HN.

I often need to spin up a quick Postgres DB or REST API to test features I’m working on. Seeding these with data can get tedious, especially if I have to duplicate resources across environments. I put together a few quick tools to make this easier, like Import CSV to PostgreSQL (https://retool.com/utilities/write-csv-to-postgres) and Convert CSV to JSON (https://retool.com/utilities/convert-csv-to-json).

All the utilities are freely available at https://retool.com/utilities - here (https://retool.com/utilities/generate-app-from-csv) is one my favorites which lets you auto-generate a basic CRUD app from a CSV file.

Any feedback, requests for utilities or questions welcome! :)

I have a problem that is somehow similar to yours. In Italian, the grammatical gender of possessive pronouns works the other way around, e.g. if a boy has a girlfriend, in English you say "his girlfriend", "his" is masculine. But in Italian, possessive pronouns work the other way around ("la sua ragazza", where "sua" is feminine). To this day I still get it wrong sometimes e.g. if I'm tired at the end of a long day.
How to set up a decently secure, monitored and backed up server.
This looks very much worth a try. I've already ordered a kit. If it works well, there's probably 3-4 people in my household that could benefit from it. Is there a way for us to share using separate iPhones? Using the same iPhone?
I now what you mean, but I just wanted to add something to your one example. What do you mean by "nude beach vs downtown big city"? There are parks in some European cities where you can sunbath in the nude. I guess it is still an example of this, because it is getting less common, because of globalization and risk of being recorded for the whole world to see.
Adhesion.

The water molecules are attracted to the surface of the structure by adhesive forces. This means that when the water molecules are away from the structure, there is "potential adhesive energy". As the water moves closer to the surface, the "potential adhesive energy" is reduced and turns into gravitational potential energy -- until at some point an equilibrium is reached. The more surface area the liquid can adhere to, the higher it can rise.

If this is hard to understand, think of two strong magnets, one lying on a table, and one mounted at a point somewhere above the table. When the two magnets are not touching, there is potential magnetic energy. If you bring the top magnet low enough, at some point the bottom magnet will be pulled up towards the other magnet until it touches, increasing it's potential gravitational energy and minimizing its potential magnetic energy.
>> we're heading back to the place where Microsoft dominates the desktop,

Total side note to this, but there are apps that only work on Windows like Adobe Creative Cloud. If some of these companies were to support Linux, you would see a huge migration off of Windows to Linux.

Adobe has steadfastly refused to support Linux. Even after years of Linux users saying they would gladly pay to use Adobe products on virtually ANY Linux OS. All to no avail. So here I sit, stuck between two operating systems. One I love, and needing the other strictly out of necessity to run a specific set of software.

No, overfitting is the normal state for neural nets.
It seems Latinx is a word used in some circles the U.S. and it's a word choice specific to their language. Much like how the U.S. use of plain "America" is contentious in the rest of Latin America - words have different meanings in different contexts and spheres, but there's is conflict when it leaks outside the boundaries.

Ok I do indeed not follow this too intensely. Windows for me privately is only relevant to my game box. And while I manage endpoints at work, the windows side is a different team :) I'm just waiting for Windows 11 to hit MSDN so I can try it out. I don't really want to do the whole insider thing. I was indeed referring to what I've seen in the videos.

But this sounds like a good thing to me overall. I was never a fan of UWP as most of the apps were too tablet focused. The same issue I have with Mac Catalyst apps. Too dumbed down and basic. I know it's not technically necessary to do so, but these unified platforms seem to stimulate that kind of app. I was also very happy to see that live tiles are going away (It always takes some time for me to rid the start menu of them).

If Microsoft would adopt a more privacy friendly stance e.g. no telemetry or MS accounts required at all, I'd actually consider using it again for more purposes privately.
> Perceus is an advanced compilation method for reference counting. Together with evidence passing, this lets Koka compile directly to C code without needing a garbage collector or runtime system. Perceus also performs reuse analysis and optimizes functional-style programs to use in-place updates when possible.

This seems to imply that they do not handle compaction, which is needed to remedy memory fragmentation.
It’s kind of a case of the more you talk about how different something or someone is the more you kind of focus on the difference. At least seems that way.

They're using "Black+" as "all Googlers who identify as Black, plus those who identify as Black and any other race".

The census does track people identifying with multiple races. Pew, citing the census, says there are ~46.8M (40.7M + 3.7M + 2.4M) Americans who identify as Black (and possibly as something else as well) so about 14%.

I would say overfitting - the net doesn't "understand" the code in any meaningful sense. It just finds fitting examples and jumbles them a bit.

Understanding would mean to have an internal representation related to the intention of the user, the expected behavior, and say the AST of the code. My pessimistic interpretation of this and many other recent AI applications is that it is a "better markov chain".
As long as the hardware and accompanying libraries support transactional memory then sure. Otherwise it is more easy to just use the vast existing transactional storage libs. The say that Pmem supports block access so maybe it is win win in this area
Maybe "likely new" is a bad word to describe it. Comparing to many email providers I know or used 7 years is a pity. It have matured enough to consider it will stay for longer and it won't disappear soon, what has happened to many competitors on e-mail service market. I said "new", because both Migadu (since 2014) and even ProtonMail (since 2013) brought a lot of fresh air in last decade. I my observation for some reasons Migadu gained more attention among people looking to have an email with own domain name in last few years than in previous. When I also shared a link to Migadu to some friends, they also saying "oh, I hear about it for the first time". That's why I am saying "it is likely new on the market", it still have potential to gather new customers by advertising (on the contrary to ProtonMail, which seems media coverage helped a lot).

> I also don't believe that it has near-zero reputation.

Well, I guess I was too harsh but it is small company that already had various problems while operating (thankfully only downtime / lack of support) and it is hard to trust that no leak or breach will happen (and this is what makes me more concerned than some bureau). I also said "it has near-zero reputation for anyone looking for a private" - I don't generalize to whole service but only to private/safe message exchange. This service is perfectly fine for people in IT, startups or just personal emails but if I would be a person, who exchanges confidential documents I will stay away from Migadu. Why? They do not encrypt data on their servers [0][1], which is clearly opposite to what ProtonMail does [2].

> 5. They don't force you to give them your real name or personal info, but there are no anonymous or cash payments. They only process payments via PayPal or Stripe though they claim to not keep any information about you that way.

I've been saying for years now (probably gonna get down voted for this) - everyone wants to buy American and to make more products in America - with the amount of chemicals involved in electronics manufacturing required, who the hell wants these things made here?

Most companies are not safe or environment cautious - how many tails of leaks or problems with chemical processing plants have there been? No one wants that stuff in our ground water...

Don't get me wrong; it's not acceptable anywhere / other parts of the world - just looking at the whole "let's make everything here!..." but why?
Differently from most countries in the world, Colombia allowed corporations to buy and distribute vaccines to their employees.

The result?

Hunger Games: Food Delivery Company Giving Vaccines Only to Best Gig Workers

As COVID deaths in Colombia reach an all-time high and a third wave of infections has left hospital systems on the verge of collapse, the massive delivery company Rappi said it would offer vaccines to its employees.

The catch: the delivery workers will have to compete against each other to prove they are the hardest workers to win just a handful of jabs.

Juan Sebastián Rozo, Rappi’s director of public affairs, announced this week during a local radio interview that the company will give vaccines to the five percent of its delivery workers who “deliver the most orders, spend the most time logged into the app and because of that are the most exposed.”

https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkbqdg/hunger-games-food-del...

In other words: between a 20-years-old who works full-time and a 40-years-old who works part-time, the Rappi would give the jab to the 20-years-old.

So... don't take compassion for granted.

Another Tesla goes up in flames
This time, a brand new plaid.
The doors have been locked, making it an almost death trap. The driver managed to get out by using force and escaped death by seconds.

Sure, other cars have burned, other cars had door locks stuck, but this one has the combination new+burned+locked.

Why are such lemons permitted for sale without an intervention.

No statement from Tesla on the matter yet, Musk is busy pushing doge coin and they need to make up an excuse I suppose.

Every few months, or when there's a big disaster, I get spam from Unicef, trying to get me to donate more money.

This is exactly what RSS feeds were for. In fact Outlook and other mail programs support RSS feeds alongside e-mail.

I have had several readers over the last year reach out to ask about this. I ended up adjusting the pricing in Amazon per region (print copies) and creating discount codes for people to use on my site based on the honor system[1]. For books I sell through Pragmatic Programmers, they did not have a way to adjust the pricing per region.

For me, the goal is reach and not profitability. The reality of selling technical books is that you can’t make a living on it, so it's really a "loss leader" on my employability.

In the past six months:

• 390 total orders

• 116 used one of my PPP discount codes

• Mexico's code is the most used, followed by India, then Europe. Mexico and India offer the steepest discount, though Europe's is not particularly steep, so I don't think anyone is gaming the system. Note that the amount of discount is not published until you apply the code at checkout.

For pricing an app or other thing where economics were more important, I might still do it, and factor it into the business model, basically eating some AOV to get growth/TAM.

There’s an easy word for this: Latin.
> How do I get notified of a new newsletter?

Not OP but I use Inoreader for RSS. It has push notifications in the paid version, although I don't need them, I just open Inoreader when I'm in a newsletter-reading mood.

> Tell us more about your reasoning.

The reason email does not work for me is that my email inbox is overflowing with a variety of types of communication: business emails that require a quick reply, unsolicited sales pitches, notifications from several services, personal emails. I need to go through each email rapidly and either reply immediately, snooze it for later, create an action item in the my to-do list, give a quick read and archive or just straight out archive without reading.

There's no place in this for "take 40 minutes to leisurely read this long-form email". Also the volume of communications is way to big to go through all of them and mark them for later reading. I imagine I could create rules for all the newsletters and send them straight to some folder but then the experience is just lacking compared to a dedicated RSS reader.
This does make me wonder if this is susceptible to the same form of trolling as that MS AI got. Commit a load of grossly offensive material to multiple repos, and wait for Copilot to start parroting it. I think they're going to need some human moderation.
The interesting thing is that the top of the funnel is still heavily tilted towards e.g. men. I'm not claiming whether this right or wrong, but this is how it is. Now good luck for your small company to hire minorities. It's extremely hard. I have talked to a recruiting agency recently about getting some engineers on board, and their first question was "Are you only looking for female engineers or are you OK with any genders?"

So as far my experience goes it is pretty difficult to hire non-male engineers if you're on a budget, then you end up with a full male team and then you might end up being accused with bias and discrimination against women. (I've seen this happening.)
I happen to be very familiar with Google's diversity efforts and have many Black and Latinx friends and acquaintances in the company.

Google is one of the most racially inclusive tech companies in the world. It really tries hard to fix historical disparities between races in ways that you don't see in most companies, ranging from very active promotion of minorities to programs dedicated to hiring them. The interview process, while not perfect, also tries to erase bias by forcing gender and racially-neutral terms in interview writeups.

I have my own explanation for the problems the article describes, but I think it would be hard to accurately represent it in a HN comment. This is part of a VERY complex situation rivaling the historical Middle East conflicts in resistance to analysis.

For all of its faults - and it has many - Google is trying much harder the most companies to right past wrongs in our industry regarding racism.
