In my experience, airplane mode on keeps battery usage at maybe 1% per hour (if you keep the screen off). Has the advantage of being available much faster and that the phone can be used if necessary.

Because of that, I haven't switched off a phone in years (just for swapping Sim cards), airplane mode was always sufficient.
FAANG has a lot of metrics and rituals (planning/RFCs/6-pagers, retro, reviews, 360 reviews, some do sprints, some don't), the do their own scrum.
What's at the heart of it? Is it solving large sparse linear equations?

If so, wouldn't it be relatively simple to swap-in a CUDA implementation of this solver?
While I am happy for your company and for your first 10 employees (congrats, really), I am not sure that looking at their return teaches us much.

Joining a fresh startup as employee #10 (or less) is somewhat of a gamble (even at YC). The following data would put things in perspective:

1. How do the average first 10 employees of a YC startup do?

2. How did the following cohorts in your company do?

I am not trying to be negative here, but trying to put things in perspective. Congrats again!

I learned about them on my previous job. It's rather easy to cluster and the Web-Hooks are super easy to get started with.
I don't know Erlang myself, but looking at the code and comparing it to some of the Java solutions, it seemed well structured and easier to understand/modify if I wanted to. The only "Issue" I have with it right now, is the "custom OpenSource license" they have.
The latter. GC is confusing "offline" with "power off".
Ask them flatout how they reward initiative and accomplishment. If they start fumbling, there's your answer. If they don't, ask them for a concrete example. If that's when they struggle, there's your answer.
I get the impression that the rate of progress is increasing in fusion energy research. Finally!

Or is it just various fusion startups making PR waves to get more investments?
Not the OP, but these papers are well known anyway.

Smalltalk was one of the first JIT implementations,

"Efficient implementation of the smalltalk-80 system"

https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/800017.800542

Then they followed up with StrongTalk,

https://strongtalk.org/

And SELF, which JavaScript OOP is modeled on,

https://selflanguage.org

You will recognize some of the V8 names on those papers.

Additionally, SELF JIT was repurposed as Hotspot by Java 1.2.

Although Java looks like C++ from syntax point of view, it actually is closer to Smalltalk and Objective-C in runtime semantics, thus it could profit a lot from that JIT research as well, even though it was originally targeted to dynamic languages.

Bullshit. It came from India, and the unchecked spread of the virus through the largely unvaccinated population.

Evolutionary pressure is exerted by all immune responses, not just ones conditioned by vaccines.
I'd consider both abacus and a mechanical cash register (or even mechanical arithmometer) as digital/discrete devices, not analog; analog calculation would refer to slide rules, nomograms and the like (of which I'm sure there would be more than the slide rules and nomograms, but nothing comes to mind..).
Exactly why I wrote my comment. :) Because it seems it's able to do that, but not really. And it seems easy to fix, but of course patches are welcome. (Hopefully.)

Sure, it's not terribly hard to work around it with a cron (or systemd-timer) script, but why go uphill, when there are better tools.
Yep, aviate, navigate, communicate - in that order.
It's curious to see the word nomogram surfacing again (at least in this context). I stopped using it after I realized that people didn't understand what I was talking about.

I can't remember how I came by the word except it was commonplace to see in textbooks and references when referring to diagrams/tables/charts combinations. For example, a diagrammatic representation of sliderule scales etc. in a textbook would have a comment to the effect 'the monograph in figure (a) illustrates the results/correlation of...' etc.

Nomogram's use in technical references has never struck me as strange, in fact it's the appropriate word to use when making such references. Thus it'd be interesting to know why the word has fallen out of favor in recent years.

Edit: I don't think the use of calculators is the full reason the word has fallen out of favor as we've more graphic representations of data as the consequence of computers now than before. It seems to me it's possible that the word has dropped out of favor with the less formal more simplified language used in texts these days.

For what’s it’s worth it’s more of a bag scan rather than a full security check like at the airport. Certainly the full security check is not something I want to deal with but it wasn’t too bad. They only do it at the main stations in Spain and only if you’re riding the high speed trains, so I imagine if France did it then it would only be at TGV stops which are not so numerous
I was using Ampie last year when it first came up and was more or less enjoying it.

However, it was a bit of a annoyance because (I cannot remember exactly) usually I would find some really generic links at the top and the UI scrolling was not very pleasant.
In general I felt like finding new discussions/ content that I would like required a couple of clicks/ interactions. I wished it was more effortless and kinda passive to stumble upon interesting stuff.

I disabled the extension when it started asking for new permissions, thinking I need to configure it so that it is never activated on sensitive pages like my bank's site.

I am going to give it another try now. Wishing all the best to Ampie's development.

The rumor spreaders are clearly trying to do the maximum damage as possible in the society for money. Many of them ended being victims of the virus also, so nobody can't claim ignorance at this point or say that they were just joking. If they can't understand even the most basic facts explained by science is their problem, not twitter's problem or society's problem. Science is real. Deal with it.

The snake puppeteers poisoning and driving this people to their own demise are evil. Twitter is not obligated to help them to kill more people.
From the article: For those interested, the Astro’s functionality is built on top of Fire OS and Linux. Amazon isn’t announcing an official Astro SDK today, but it says, “it’s easy to imagine a world where customers and developers can build unique capabilities that allow Astro to keep getting better over time, and we look forward to sharing more details in the future.”
This is an old original post, but it still worries me.

To find this requires a combination of a few keystrokes and button pushes plus an "outlook" (rather than "inlook") attitude.

Instead, as with so many discussions in a so-called "CS" community, we find something like adolescents trying to BS each other by presenting their mere opinions as facts.

Come on! Please!

Long ago my research community put in a lot of work to make it easy to deal with many simple questions, but we didn't reckon with the sheer inwardness of so many end-users. A similar problem is that most people in CS have no idea what Doug Engelbart really did, yet just typing his name into Google will provide great info in just the first few hits.

How can the current community repair itself and start trying to become a real field again?
I guess you use this mode when your application is IO bound.
This doesn't even make sense as biology. You're essentially saying the virus evolved exclusively because of the pressure vaccines, which is absurd on its face.
Yes anyone who is screwed out of millions is free to quit. But it doesn’t make it less unethical or remove the sting. Now they need to go on a hunt for a new job instead of retiring.
I had a similar experience seeing them in Oslo a few years ago. They were incredibly strict about disruptions and people using devices. It came across entirely as a "don't be selfish and ruin the experience for others", and it was amazing. No talking, just music. It's the best concert I've ever been to. At the end they said to the audience "we would like to take some pictures of you guys, and of course you can now do the same". And we did.

I wish more artists had this attitude, as I no longer go to any "normal" concerts. Half the audience is drunk, and half the audience is having a conversation in the middle of a song. (The first part is fine, but it tends to exasperate the latter)

Of course, some music groups/performances are more suited for a "let's party"-attitude where this doesn't apply.
Can someone ELI5 to me how this design would be industrialised? How do you repeat this process day in day out?

Whenever there are articles written about inertial confinement, they always describe the current process (which I understand at a layperson level) but never how this design could be implemented in a repeatable manner?
Yes, the United States did that in the past. It did it by fighting a war with Spain. That's why I would also agree with someone who said the US was a threat to Spain 120 years ago.

Or did you miss:

>> But really, the US's moral high ground is a distraction. This thread is about whether China is taking actions that could be a threat to the United States.
> Most people can get one by just applying

You are a victim of your own selection bias. As you didn't ask 1000 random developers, think what selection process happened before you got that confusing info from some developers (I guess there were between one and five of them).
Since you mention McCarthy and JITs, there is another set of poor folks that seem forgoten on JIT research.

Only recently did I learn that Dartmouth BASIC did use a JIT approach as well.

It was only when dialects started to crop up on 8-bit computers that the trend for BASIC to be an interpreted language came to be.
> "but to figure out what they really need."

I've had a boss who was very "pragmatic". Used to come up with concrete and practical solutions all the time. "We need to add a button here" or "We need an extra tab that only X can see" and so on.

Wasn't pragmatic at all, just listened to the customers, then translated their requests into what he thought would be the simplest (cheapest, fastest) to implement. While this sounds Lean, it really is a sure way to accumulate an immense mess of complexity, legacy and clutter in no time.

What we really needed was some design sessions to translate the customers' request into something that fit the product and matched a vision (or to disregard it, it that fit is not found).

Apple delayed plans to roll out CSAM scanning, so that is not included in iOS 15.

You are partially right though, in that the likely explanation for this extra power consumption is re-indexing content / rebuilding local neural networks, which use a lot of power (for a day or so, and then they're finished).

So rather than scanning your photos for CP, more likely it's scanning your photos for text or similar as part of the new Live Text feature.
Social Media is NOT your portfolio

50% of the time it means:

Your solutions or design decision will never be "as good as his" and you will forever hear "I did it like this and that. It should be fast to implement xyz"
Whatever, if not thread, the posts you are responding to were about that. There are many posts that deal with the plane. This is focusing on China/US relations, as an offshoot conversation.
Not really.

I guess the only benefit was that on later releases, we could share the infrastructure with Microsoft SQL Server.

For those that don't know, Microsoft SQL Server grew out of a partnership with Sybase, and the early versions were quite alike, just Microsoft version had better GUI tooling.
Then you have Slack which forces everyone to use features nobody ever asked for.

AWS which ignores what people ask for until it happens to align with something AWS wants.

Microsoft which only implements what their double platinum partners program people asks for and forces everyone else to use that.

Oracle which gives people what they want and sues everyone who gets it from someplace else.

Google gives you what their algorithms determine you want. Like community support of all their products. You wanted that. They can prove that mathematically.
This logic does the antisemites a favor, frankly. It allows them to pull all criticism of Israel under their ideological umbrella so anyone with legitimate objections to that nation's leadership has no choice but to ally with the antisemites because you've pushed them out of all reasonable spaces.
I spend more time interacting with Emacs than I do my window system, so I am quite happy arranging terminals, database clients, REPLs and code inside that, and there are huge advantages to all those being able to communicate frictionlessly. It'd be very annoying having to constantly multitask.
But at some stage the artist does random ordinary thing and call it an art.

butter with knives in it slowly melting away - art

bucket full of trash - art

white canvas - art

Sure, you get to analyse it, ponder its setting. But to me that is no different than pondering meaning of my own bucket of trash.

I don't get modern art. But the older I get the more I read ridiculous stories about it and the amount of financial scams going on behind the scenes, and the more it feels like 'the king is naked'.

Just bunch of pretentious people with some clout doing low effort word plays or performances for people who pretend to get it to fit in, propped up by speculation and tax avoidance money .
It could easily be the other way around, too. Popular videos get recommended, popular videos get interest from advertisers.

While I'm excited for this, I'm also cynical about the public reaction to fusion power as it gets closer to success and eventual general availability.

These past 2 years have highlighted to many how a combination of poor critical thinking and politicisation of so many aspects of our lives can lead to literal catastrophes.

Will the public see Fusion as the wonderful advancement for humanity that it will likely be, or will they see it as another dangerous nuclear thing? Will they see it as taking jobs from hard-working coal/oil workers? Will it be spun as the green energy sector not making their minds up and flip flopping between solar/wind/fusion/etc? Will there be stories about how we could accidentally create a black hole and destroy the world?

Hopefully I'm just being cynical, but I am worried about how the general public will perceive it, and/or how it will be sold by politicians and the less reputable parts of the media.
Fat people doesn't like you when you call them fat. It is the same. People are emotionally influenced by things you say even if nothing of it is new to them.

Happy CityStrides user here too, since June when I really started exploring the area in which I live (moved here in Feb) in earnest. I'm not trying specifically to pick off every single street as the CityStrides community intends, but I love seeing my map fill out as I find new footpaths, and expand as I get more ambitious or intrepid.
Here's a question about possible cultural differences: I notice that a good number of blog posts I come across these days, that are actually about a technical topic, either start with or prominently feature the authors feelings toward the topic. This post is a great example for what I mean, it starts with "I love writing. Every little goddamn bit of it."

I'm personally really turned off by that particular writing style. Sometimes it annoys me so much that I close the tab right away, even though I was originally interested in the topic. That probably tells you more about me than about the authors. (Ha! I just made that comment about myself, too. Take that, bloggers!)

But the fact that I see this happening frequently now makes me wonder: is that perhaps a writing style that is taught in school somewhere? Certainly not in the place and at the time that I went to school but it could be that this style is perhaps actively encouraged somewhere else?

I'd be grateful for any insights / experiences.
More energy output than input such that output powers the input and so is a firehose of free money until energy no longer has monetary value.

The initial investment may be scary, but I think this is discounted per people's experience with Moore's law (whether right or wrong).

Inverted indexes are almost always eventually consistent, and easy to integrate in a distributed context.

- Store documents into R2 or Durable Objects or KV or (Cloudflare future storage).

- Create inverted index files (similar to Lucene)

- Cache the inverted index files at the edge. Cloudflare’s bread and butter.

- Run query execution nodes at the edge. Deal with the occasional cache miss by proxying to a different region.

- Its impossible to deal with relevance or ranking for that many different use cases. Let the clients control every aspect of relevancy and ranking, e.g. Similar to the flexibility of ElasticSearch.

SICP is a fantastic and difficult book. I got through about 50% and have a much bigger appreciation for programming now.

FYI - The original was written in Scheme. There is a newer version based in python which I haven't tried.

Edit: The python version is highly contested. Scheme is the more difficult and therefore the best way to understand these principles.
There have been a number of high-profile demonstrations lately that people cannot be trusted.

Why shouldn't we ban something, if its harm can be rigorously shown and yet people persist in using it? What does this lofty commitment to "freedom" actually buy?
You have to understand this: Academia runs on clout. Not quality, not replicability, but reputation, however it is earned.

That means that an amazing paper published in PLoS ONE is generally worse for your career than an unreplicable pile of drek in Nature. The quality of the paper, barring notable impact outliers, is secondary to the journal it's published in.
> You’ll flourish as a writer if you don’t fear writing and don’t force it

I think that goes for a lot of creative endeavors, and programming too for that matter. But I'm not sure that's very helpful advice when you must write, particularly about a topic you don't care as much about, need specific ideas/research for, and/or with a strict deadline. It's like "make something easier by doing it for your own satisfaction." Of course, but doesn't help if I'm doing something less interesting primarily for a paycheck.

What's beyond disappointing and typical of users and threads like this is that such baseless flame-bait comments are left unsubstantiated even after asking them to give some citations. Otherwise the discussion gets into an off-topic flamewar. This can be easily prevented with simple EVIDENCE as already explained by the HN guidelines.

They know they haven't read the guidelines, so I and another commenter just reminded them. There is nothing wrong with admitting that you haven't read them and also admitting you have no sources to your claims is it?

Oh dear.
This piece is so prescient and explanatory of the current tech dystopia, its scary.

If there is anything to remark on, it is that software tech as distinct from hardware that is very directly, almost tangibly so, an externalization of our internal machinations.

While any concrete silicon technology already circumscribes a certain universe of "tricks", it is, in-principle, much more agnostic as to what we do with it.

It is in the programming of the stuff where literaly people directly express their inner world: e.g., using a keyboard to configure devices as contrivances that will exploit and diminish other people instead of empowering and improving our collective predicament.

Ofcourse, with the hindsight of two decades, we know that the downward spiral is self-reinforcing. Once a software machination "proves" itself it drives the development of hardware that will further "enhance" its effectiveness.

I think that much of the distrust is not so much caused by lack of knowledge, but ultimately by inability to accept that sometimes shit just happens. They spent an entire year frantically making up culprits to blame for a virus that quite likely just happened, like a meteor strike. Making up culprits from thin air, but decidedly. Because their minds had never been confronted with tragedy lacking a scapegoat.

There's no logic to go from there to "vaccines are bad", but all the mental contortions they had to go through to blame someone primed them, hard, to active distrust.
I appreciate that they start with the stuff they broke and how to fix things
