One thing cables are good at is being long enough to act as great antenna. It makes sense the wifi range is 2KM.
You can be perfectly fluent in a language without being literate in any language; for a long time, that was the norm for even first languages, so obviously its possible.

And English, with its extremely complex (frequently irregular, but even where not strictly so still not simple) mapping between phonetics and pronunciation probably has bigger gap between spoken and written proficiency as a first language than languages with a more simply phonetic script.
Interesting article. The line of argumentation goes like this:

1) The birth rate in Japan has been below-replacement since 1974.

2) As a result, the population is shrinking.

3) Because the population is shrinking, there isn't enough workers.

Alright, I'm with you so far.

4) Therefore, more women need to get full-time jobs.

Uh... ?

I feel like I'm going nuts. Everywhere in the prestige media the solution presented is "women should just have a full-time job and raise 2.1 children at the same time". But does that actually exist anywhere?

I hear about paid child leave in the Nordic countries as a solution. But Sweden has a birth rate of 1.76, Denmark 1.73, Norway 1.56... and the curve isn't even trending up! Paid child leave and government childcare is great and cool, but as a solution to below-replacement fertility it clearly and obviously doesn't work, and for some reason nobody wants to say this.

The other answer is immigration, but the problem then is then you're competing with every other country in the world, and Japanese firms pay way, way, way below FAANG.
FWIW, I'd be surprised if it were difficult for an interested developer to compile Orchid (as stated in the README: go type "make" in srv-shared and install any dependencies you are missing... same way I usually build anything ;P there is also a Docker build script for "docker build" as well as a way to wrap the makefile into Docker, which is mentioned in the README: run env/docker.sh).

If you aren't a developer: just download a pre-compiled build; the 0.9.33 build that came out a couple days ago works great. I also have GitHub Actions set up to do a complete build of all of our components every time we do a push, and so you're also able to go back 90 days or whatever they hold on to and download a server asset. This also means I know 100% that it compiles OK ;P.

As for actually succeeding in selling bandwidth, that is fully possible right now (and has been since the network launched)... but, very awkwardly, not to the (vast) majority of people who are currently running our client in its default configuration. You will need to get users to 1) purchase OXT and manually set up their account and 2) get them to change the default "curator".

This is due to a combination of factors, but the deepest one--as in the one that is serving to be most difficult to fix, both internal and external to the project, as well as the one that personally frustrates me the most (if you know who I am ;P)--is that our users mostly buy in using "in-app purchases", which has led to us implementing various restrictions on spending them.

The result, though, is that if you go through all of the trouble to get set up right now, you won't actually get to experience anyone paying for your bandwidth in practice, even though I solemnly swear that the system is legitimately decentralized in that nothing is actively preventing that from happening: the system launched in December 2019 and has been "fully functional" ever since.

I, thereby, am quite reticent to publish an easy-to-follow guide where step 5 is "now be disappointed in the result", as I don't even think that is a valuable use of time for the people who are trying to contribute to the system. The best things you can do to help are: 1) lobby against Apple/Google; 2) improve the state of play for wallets; and 3) get people to download/use the client.

(As for something like a "roadmap", I try to prevent anyone from telling people about the order/timing of work we are doing because the system should be considered functional "as is"; I think most projects that have "roadmaps" in this space use them to cause people in the ecosystem to speculatively purchase large quantities of what should really be a "utility token". I hope you understand.)

(That said, there is some public discussion of this specific task--to make it easier for people who have a copy of the server to run a node--related to an issue that I feel able to point you at: https://github.com/OrchidTechnologies/orchid/issues/103. I will, admittedly awkwardly, not comment on whether or not I intend to make a commit in the near future to address this deficiency.)
High-dimensional spaces are common in deep learning nowadays, and there's lots of room in high-dimensional spaces so any potential quantization errors are probably insulated from incorrect recall by virtue of the fact that things are so far apart in the original space.
I met him too at an Apple store in Sydney. He must travel a lot!
I am not a Musk fanboy either, but you probably haven’t seen the recent 3 part video “Starbase tour with Elon Musk”.

He states at least once that he is wrong all the time. At other moments he says other similar things (but sometimes more related to engeneering for example: “All designs are wrong… just a matter of how wrong”).

But I have to agree, before seeing that video I didn’t see him being so open to being wrong, and also not as technically involved or at least knowledgeable…
No direct incentive today. If they find value through the site (maybe for a negotiation), then they're free to contribute back and we've seen that be a pretty significant motive. Pretty altruistic, but people realize it helped them and it can help others in the future.

I don't quite understand the leaps of logic here, from an action that Facebook did, to how freedom and censorship in China is equivalent to those in the west.

The best I can gather is that you're implying that _in practice_ the same level of censorship exists considering all actors involved? If that's the correct interpretation there is still a notable difference between what the government can coerce you to do, and what Facebook can coerce you. Isn't this why constitutional tenants (of freedom of speech) are important?

Well since the “solution” is to simply use their SaaS… then they have to wait to the end of the article in order to maintain maximum tension so their marketing pitch will land.

Related, in that they both create partitions of the space. Different in that the "leaves" (clusters induced by learned centroids) have arbitrary shapes, and the query relies on using the same tree to localize the point in the different (and disjoint) subspaces it occupies.
I have no idea if it will make it into the next iPhone, but it's certainly something Apple has been dumping R&D money into for several years.

From 2019:

>Apple Inc. has a secret team working on satellite technology that the iPhone maker could use to beam internet services directly to devices, bypassing wireless networks, according to people familiar with the work.

The Cupertino, California-based iPhone maker has about a dozen engineers from the aerospace, satellite and antenna design industries working on the project with the goal of deploying their results within five years

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-20/apple-has...

Gurman has the best sources inside Apple, and he is still saying that emergency satellite communications (as currently sold in tiny devices like the Garmin Inreach Mini) are actively being worked on.

>The rumored satellite features for future iPhones are reserved for emergency uses only, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. A few days ago, a report by well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said the next iPhones will come with support for Low Earth Orbit satellite calls and messages. Gurman’s sources said, however, that Apple isn’t turning its devices into actual satellite phones, at least for now. Instead, the tech giant is reportedly developing at least two emergency-related features relying on satellite networks.

https://techcrunch.com/2021/08/31/apples-rumored-iphone-sate...

Kuo has the best sources inside Apple's supply chain, but we've seen him get the timeline wrong for components graduating from prototypes to mass production before.
I'm really surprised by the pushback you're getting. I'd be curious the background of the people that have come back with replies about how it's an ideal use case, etc. This misunderstanding of the problem domain is exactly why these projects always fail - people come up with a "solution" that solves something that isn't the problem, despite whatever clever horse analogies people can come up with.
The problem with modern C++ is that everyone has to be into it.

Plenty of shops are more than happy to keep coding like the world has frozen since C++98.

Even if you look at Microsoft and Google sample code, or Android codebase, it is a bit debatable how much modern it actually is, and yet they are on ISO.
Some people just really like lawns for their own sake. My grandfather had a huge green lawn in rural Ohio. He didn't really use it for much, but it looked nice and mowing it with his riding lawnmower was one of his favorite activities in retirement.
It depends on the specific situation. Screening mammography for instance carries significant financial (and emotional) risk of missing a call that ends up being cancer.
> Is it due to Amazon believing in morals(which is seemingly absent in the way they treat their own employees)?

What, no, that's insane.

The theory I hear on here often is that they're trying to avoid regulation. I don't know if that's true but whatever they're doing, it's to avoid exposure potential costs. They've calculated that the lost business is worth less than the cost of whatever risks they forsee. Either that or they have some extremely powerful ideologues in control.
Nope. Some premium AMD motherboards have Thunderbolt 3 ports. It's open now as part of USB 4 standard
“Couple shots of prophylactic” would be true if there was an inactive virus vaccine option.

These shots are the first that use a custom RNA sequence to program your cells to produce proteins. Like I’ve said before - the attack surface is too great to be an acceptable health measure mandated by hostile state actors. (all governments are hostile state actors IMO)

I’d rather be a bubble boy for the rest of my life than take an RNA shot.
It's survivor bias to only look at existing incumbents. Reddit absorbed Digg users almost overnight, as one quick example. Another slower one is how AIM, ICQ, or MySpace lost the war of attrition.
Apologies if you already knew this:

It feels as if this is still related to rejection sampling, in spite of not being quite that. If the algorithm samples some bits, and still hasn't made a decision, then it's as if all the previous samples have been "rejected". The difference seems to be that this algorithm has a memory of previously rejected samples, which causes it to be less likely to reject subsequent samples. "Adaptive rejection sampling" appears to be relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rejection_sampling#Adaptive_re...
I ran into exact same situation before. I clicked on the form, filled a disposable email address and put in a ridicuously low price (like $100). The broker at the other side responded and asked for $2000, to cover costs. I said no. He ended up selling me for $100.

So, yes, those forms work, you can try it once.
I'd be more than a little nervous ordering one of these cables from a company that its sole job is creating spyware. If they're okay with spying on their customers' customers why wouldn't they spy on just their customers too?
> But Elon said it'll all blow over by May (2020). Hard to admit you're wrong when your personality is built around always being right.

If that's how Elon Musk thinks, he really needs to read that website that compiled all his broken promises (and how overdue he was).

Though, who knows, he might be so delusional that it wouldn't have any effect (e.g. like Trump seems to be).
Considering that McDonalds and Walmart are #1 and #2 employers in America (after the federal government), this isn't surprising.

> Sanders accused companies such as Walmart and McDonald’s of relying on “corporate welfare from the federal government by paying their workers starvation wages.”

This relies on a mistaken theory on how wages get set. No one gets paid based on what they need. If that were true, lottery winners would continue to work for free. If federal benefits to their employees were cut, the employees wouldn't have any more bargaining power to demand higher wages. On the contrary, they'd probably be inclined to work longer or take on additional work to make up for the loss in benefits, pushing wages further on. You saw exactly that relationship when unemployment benefits were extended during the pandemic and many people chose not to work because it would cut off their benefits or they had enough in benefits to not work for the time being.
> Distributed system & big data knowledge is table stakes for Google engineers

True, but observe that knowledge is very different from _experience_. In anything sufficiently complicated there's tons of stuff you won't find in books, and even if you do, you won't pay sufficient attention to. E.g. you could sorta know how a database works (from a university course or something), but if you haven't implemented e.g. a state of the art query engine or a storage manager, you'll still be SOL in practice until you write one or more of those things and actually gain experience.

Knowledge by itself is darn near worthless, it only becomes valuable with experience, particularly if it's in 2 or more related fields.
Digg was still relatively niche. Reddit is on a whole other scale. Did anyone over 40 even know of digg? Plus they committed suicide.
Reddit is absolutely a mobile first company. Most of their users use adblock, so having a desktop site is just a way for them to gain mobile users.

Their mobile app being awful is pretty hilarious given all this, but they're certainly trying very hard to improve the experience on mobile(while also showing as many ads as possible).

Hak5 isn't breaking any new grounds with their technology. They just make it a little easier to get/use and a little sleeker. Can someone abuse this? Sure. People misuse all sorts of handy tools all the time. Knives? Staplers? 2x4s? Hammers? All have been used to kill people - doesn't make them inherently bad.

The difference is most people know about those other things and don't know about the things that hak5 sells. They don't even know it's possible, let alone it exists and is usable.

Recently the lock picking lawyer got a USB drive lock in the mail and while he picked the lock, he refused the plug in the drive. People mocked him saying that he was silly for not simply plugging in the drive into a VM or special purpose computer. The next time around he brought out a USB Killer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctByXhte_-A ex: https://usbkill.com/ .

If you don't know a random cable or USB drive can be dangerous, you're likely to be the person who picks one up off the ground and uses it. Or worse, see one sitting unattended in a coffee shop or airport and decide you need a quick boost.

What's being sold is educational just as it is dangerous. Terrible people are going to find a way to do terrible things. The least you can do is educate yourself to make it harder for them.

Not true, at least for iPhone / iPad users:

- 1. Download Apple Configurator (free to anyone)
- 2. Create new config profile
- 3. Setup your device in "supervised" mode and apply said profile (the reason for this step is that the "best" config profile options are only available in supervised mode).

Config profile items of interest include, but may not be limited to:

- "Allow USB accessories while device is locked"
- "Allow pairing with non-configurator hosts"
- "Allow putting into recovery mode from an unpaired device"
> And jsx is a sort of superset of html

More accurately, JSX is shaped like HTML, and some of the the transforms for JSX to JS have built in special handling for the standard HTML tags.
You may be interested in this work going in the opposite direction, holding the bias constant and extracting the most ranges from a constant amount of randomness:

https://github.com/sipa/writeups/tree/main/uniform-range-ext...

This work is interesting because generating random bits via strong generators is typically much more expensive than extraction-- so it can be very useful in cases where a number of small random values are needed in a tight loop such as for some kinds of hash table and generating permutations.
Ask HN: Programming languages – why does it take so long to reach version v.1?
Examples:

- Crystal: Started 2011, reached v1 in 2021

- Nim: Started in 2008, reached v1 in 2019

- Julia: Started in 2009, reached v1 in 2018

- Rust: Started in 2006, reached v1 in 2015

Spot a pattern? 'New' languages take approximately a decade to reach the all-important version 1 milestone.

Why does it take such a long time to create a programming language before it reaches v1? Is this duration typical and expected? And is this true of older languages from the 70s, 80s, and 90s?

Just to add: I greatly admire the patience and persistence of the developers who have stuck with the development of their language despite how long it has taken :-)
