The confusion over Chinese names and logograms is pretty funny considering that in Chinese, western names are written with a set of phonetic logograms and losing that spelling information with latin/cyrillic characters makes it hard to tell if the name was English, Italian, German, or Russian.

Personally, it would be great if names on western websites are written with logograms in parenthesis and names on Chinese websites are written with spelled characters in parenthesis. Just another one of those weird cross-cultural areas of friction.
Once you make enough money to not have to constantly watch your bank balance, priorities change.

Unfortunately, most don't get to experience what that's like before they are saddled with money requirements such as kids and mortgages so the constant watching of the bank balance continues but instead of spending money on Slickdeals for the item you most likely don't need, it's spent on things for your kids.

I'm in the fortunate position to not have to constantly watch my bank account but weirdly, it's uncomfortable territory so I invest to make my bank account (cash balance) as low as possible.

I've been told that pretty much anything more than $30M has diminishing happiness returns so my biggest life goal tweak was:

<30 = bring as much happiness to oneself and closest friends and family

>30 = bring as much happiness to " " & company staff (I'm a founder)
Claiming devices from before 2018 are essentially bricks is still hyperbole because the iPhone 5c was released long before that, 2013. The iPhone 6s, released in 2015, will run iOS 15.

I think the original message was poorly worded, I think they were imagining that devices that can't run iOS 15 would essentially be bricks because every app maker would build their apps in this way that only works on iOS 15 devices. Of course, this will not happen. It has long been the case that developers need to balance the advantages of using techniques enabled in newer OS versions against the advantage of supporting a wider range of OS versions.
Pay up to stay home is one company’s approach to remote work
Is it fair use to remix two musical albums into a new derivative work, that cannot plausibly be judged to replace demand for either original work?

Is it fair use to autogenerate GIFs from movies, perhaps the most protected digital works on the Internet today, in order to use them as reaction memes on Imgur?

Is it fair use to autoextract code fragments from a code base, in order to use them as suggestions on GitHub?

The Internet, and I imagine HN, was in an uproar when the music industry attempted to kill the White Album, because it infringed on their freedom to remix and derive.

The Internet, and I imagine HN, was in an uproar when MLB attempted to kill unauthorized baseball GIFs and replace them with official curated ones, because it infringed on their freedom to remix and derive.

How, precisely, is remixing and deriving from code ‘abusive’, in contrast to the past ten or twenty years of pressure on the Internet to the contrary when remixing and deriving from music or movies?

This is a core point of the original post linked above, where the author is shocked by our demands for more prohibitive copyright interpretations, and I want to call this out more bluntly and less politely than they did:

Fair use of a work is almost always perceived as abusive and unfair by the creator of a work. Creators ignore the cognitive dissonance between their demand to have fair use rights granted more easily to the protected works of others, and their demand to have fair use rights granted less easily to their own protected works.

I see that dissonance go unaddressed in every top-level comment in today’s discussion. I see that desire to deny fair use rights driving hundreds of emotional me-too posts, without considering the framing of whether it is fair use in alignment with every prior copyright outrage we’ve discussed over the years.

My theory is that permitting discussion of fair use would weaken their efforts to groundswell a pitchfork mob, and no one wants to confront their own biases or emotional investment or inability to profit from their code.

Whatever the motivations, HN deserves better than this.
For me, it was a reevaluation of my relationship with society, I don't think that I considered that as much as I should until I was into my 30s unfortunately. By that I mean, how should I serve others, especially in the context of becoming increasingly aware of my privilege. This started as some small goals like making sure I actually did volunteer work regularly, not just thinking about it. I still work to progress "doing more for others" - the older I get, the more I want to do. What was surprising is that this moved more and more after 30 from a thought to a pretty strong feeling that is difficult to ignore.

Calling them 'essentially bricks' is calling them functionless, which they are not.

The iPhone 5/5c was released nine years ago. I'm just not crying for it. If your app dev isn't updating for iOS 15, you're stuck with the old version anyway. Sorry your decade-old device can't use the latest technology.

> something along the lines of "you may not use this code as training data"

Would such a term be legally binding under present copyright law? Other than disallowing inclusion in a redistributed dataset specifically intended for training ML models, it's not clear to me that it would actually prevent such use if you already had a copy on hand for some other purpose. (Specifically, note that GitHub indeed already has a copy on hand for their authorized primary purpose of publicly distributing it.)

More generally, the manner in which copyright law applies to machine learning algorithms in general hasn't been worked out by either the courts or legislature yet. Hence the current article ...
You're right! However, I don't remember the exact issue, but Ghidra behaves differently when loading a raw binary vs when you load an ELF file. Perhaps it was something with the analyzers, I can't recall (there are ELF-specific ones for example).
That was definitely the case for me. My TV had "meh" speakers built in, so we bought a sound bar to mount underneath of it.

Surround sound was never seriously considered, the sound at (and the subwoofer that came with it) are more than adequate.
Because it makes sense to have multiple independent detectors for several reasons.
This comment makes no sense at all. You’ll need to explain it. What ‘software drought’ are you talking about?
Presenting something on the home page of HN would suggest something novel. I must be missing the point because of the downvotes. Happy to be enlightened. Pick CSS selectors and scrape something? That's quintessentially scraping.

I am not a banker, but I believe banks have to have assets to cover all of their deposits, and more, by law.

Fractional reserve is about how they have to have a small fraction of liquid stuff to deal with withdrawals.

The usual idea of fractional reserve banking people have on the internet is a myth, it would be an insolvent bank, I believe.

And banks don't have to have just $1 in assets for every $1 deposited, but they have to have a little more in case some of their loans go bad.
> The other charge need is daily use. Charging at home...

Within reason, this seems like it would be a good tradeoff for many people.

Say you're on a rare long journey and need to stop and charge - minutes-wise how long are we talking about?
In other words, unoptimised code written in a week-end to refute a claim that creating it would be ever so difficult wastes some resources according to some benchmark.

TBH That's because squashing is the quick and dirty option. If I have time, I prefer to rebase and organise the changes into a number of commits each addressing one concern. The only thing that gets removed is bugs and typos which I were introduced on that feature branch, and then fixed again. No need for those to go upstream - it would just add noise.
And I complain about our current government...

Let us give thanks for all those things that never were !
Northbridge frequency (as shown by CPU-Z) is correlated to CPU speed in my experiments. It's not one to one, but NB frequency definitely varies by a factor of two depending on CPU load.

What exact mechanism controls this is not clear to me (and I'm actually not sure if it's clear to anyone outside of Intel - the one paper [0] I found at the time was based on reverse engineering experiments). Nevertheless, CPU clock speed definitely affects Northbridge speed, as proven by the latter increasing from spinning a thread that never touches memory.

See section V.A:

> The results [...] indicate that uncore frequencies – in addition to EPB and stall cycles – depend on the core frequency of the fastest active core on the system.

(That conclusion is fully in line with my own observations.)

The date is almost certainly a more useful piece of information than the amount of explosives to be used.

> There's plenty of old code which people still depend on. System upgrades should not break your projects, or require you to go in and do surgery on scripts you didn't write.

On Linux land projects that depend on system libraries and `*-dev` packages break constantly across major versions.

You can do that if you make your python interpreter version explicit in your shebang.

> I'm sorry, but all your arguments seem to boil down to the fact that there are ways to make python usable despite the extreme fragility of the toolset.

A toolset that gave you a decade to upgrade with ample warnings is the opposite of fragile.
Do you expect to be able to receive updates and security fixes to your installed programs? Or send back a patch or bug report? If so, then it absolutely is the norm, because all that needs to be done over the internet and can generate PII. It probably shouldn't be assumed that a distribution platform can avoid having a clear and straightforward privacy policy because it calls itself a "FOSS repo" and not an "app store." Or did I miss something? Do some people only exchange security updates and crash dumps off of physical media given in person?
I like RealTek hardware for it being really barebones, without overload from extraneous marketing department inspired features.

No they didn't. Read the conference notes for yourself https://ra.nea.org/business-item/2021-nbi-039/

They said they will talk about what critical race theory is or isn't with their members, to fight disinformation like this article.

They said absolutely nothing about teaching it in schools. CRT is a college topic taught mostly to lawyers.

I think most of those on HN have been in enough school to realize the CRT outrage is a complete fabrication.

I was in school for decades and never heard of it until last year when 60's style culture wars became fashionable again. The party of non cancel culture is trying really hard to prevent an obscure theory from being talked about.

Why? Because it scares old white people riles up racists. It dovetails right along with Tucker Carlson's White Replacement Theory borrowed from 30's Nazi Germany.

I hope Tucker is right, the US would be better off if these people were replaced.
Isn't that exactly what they are saying? It was in response to the SCA statement about how the ship was going too fast and inadequately controllable; they responded that while the responsibility ultimately lies with the captain, he was under the guidance of SCA staff and tugs for speed and piloting, not a drunk teenager whom they had no influence over, which is how the SCA has tried to frame this from the beginning.
> DoEvents() is a once-popular but very dangerous kludge for Windows applications that don’t want to deal with multithreading.*

> The problem is that you never know exactly what DoEvents() is going to do. Other parts of your application may receive Windows messages (say, if the user clicks somewhere else), and they can start running their code in the space that you create when you call DoEvents(). This sounds bad, but it’s actually a lot of fun (if you like late-night debugging), because the result is just a little bit different on every computer!

Oh, but if instead you introduce threads, you won't have any such problems, right?

Maybe you're supposed to change the state of your program to "calculation running" so that when UI events are processed in the middle of DoEvents, this state is observed.

If the calculation ran in a thread, you'd probably track that; the UI would know that the calculation is running and certain actions would be disabled or handled differently.

Truth is, what we need is G7 wide import tariffs on goods produced in countries that are not trying to curb their emissions, along with quotas on visas issued to these nationals for as long as they keep pushing for dirty energy. [0]

This would need a much needed break to our domestic manufacturing that has to compete with this extremely cheap dirty foreign energy.

In my 20s career used to be about proving my worth to the world. Now, more established, my goals are to maximize my enjoyment of the work itself and minimize having to care about silly things.

I’ve realized external ambitions like money, power, status, fame aren’t useful unless you know WHAT you would do with those that make them worthwhile. What do you enjoy in the moment?
But what if they could have both?
>If you’re running a query like “give me the average price of all transactions over the past 5 years”, a relational database would have to load all the rows from the previous 5 years even though it merely wants to aggregate the price field; a columnar database would only have to examine one column — the price column.

Wouldn't that be two columns?
> in 2D layout is NP-hard (complete) without efficient polynomial approximations; in 3D layout is low-order polynomial

Any chance you could explain to a novice why 3D is easier? To my naive intuition, it would have seemed like the more room to maneuver is offset by having more stuff to route.

"Enough speed"

Steerageway - enough speed for the rudder to work.

There's a reason you don't have two captains on a ship, even when there is an admiral on board. Having two pilots seems to be a bad pattern.
I think that the US would not want to directly attack China, and China would not want to directly attack the US. The US would provide weapons, intelligence, etc. but would not fire on the Chinese because that would be an unlimited and uncontrolled escalation, in effect a declaration of war on a country actually larger than them, a nuclear power which government could not afford to be seen as weak and defeated. That's partly why the US have always refrained from entering into any formal obligation to intervene militarily.

Likewise, I don't think it would be in China's interest to destroy TSMC's fabs. Quite the opposite, I think they would probably want to keep them intact if they can help it and resume business as usual as soon as possible.
A Volcano, a Fishing Boat, and a Narrow Escape
The acceleration of the expansion of the universe is sometimes attributed to “dark energy”, but that’s a placeholder term. We don’t actually know what is doing it exactly. We can just see that it seems to be happening.

The ‘faster than the speed of light’ thing is only if you measure the rate of divergence of objects at very great distances from each other, tens of billions of light years. At more local scales, such as between our neighbouring galaxies and clusters, the effect is relatively small and negligible compared to gravity.
If you only intended to metaphorically claim that running may have a colour as some kind of thought experiment, then that wasn't apparent from your description. You literally said that synesthetes experience "worlds of understanding" to which we don't have access, thus implying that they are perceiving something real. That just isn't true.

As for the metaphor itself, "side-stepping" it simply shows that there is no known or valid analogue to what you're trying to describe, which should raise skepticism as to its validity. You're basically asserting Russell's teapot.

Either what you're describing can be materially observed, or it cannot. If it can be observed, then it will be discovered by empirical means. If it cannot, then there is no reason to posit its existence and it can be dispensed with.
If you wrote an algorithm in the early 80s that did x+y+z

And then I saw your source code and in the late 80s I changed the variable names, function name, and logic to be x+y+z+0.1

And then I told my friend John that there's a super cool algorithm that adds numbers together, and he made some more changes to it and compiled it for a different platform...

They have nothing to do with contracts and there's a simple test for it. When contracts are violated, then if there's litigation the parties consult the relevant contract law for how to proceed. When a license is violated, the parties consult whatever law the license was permitting an exception to. If you copy software without a license, you can be sued for copyright infringement. If you fish without a license, you can be sued for trespassing.
It’s funny that people say it’s a glorified Markov chain.

No. It’s not. A Markov chain has some very specific properties that are absolutely not fulfilled by GPT-3 models.

> Most extant forms of welfare exist because at the time of their creation they allowed some group of politicans to buy the votes of some subset of the population. In order to reliably capture those votes, the welfare system has to represent a substantive transfer of wealth from whoever is getting screwed to whoever is selling their vote.

Do you have any source on that? One of the original welfare systems, in Imperial Germany, was introduced by conservative politician Otto von Bismarck to preempt the popularity of the Social Democratic party which was gaining popularity with its proposals.

Eastern bloc ( Soviets, Warsaw pact, Yugoslavia) were dictatorships that supressed any dissent, but had very decent welfare states. There were wealth transfers, of course, but they were to the state, not citizens, and welfare wasn't linked to it.
