The triad of solutions to the prisoners dilemma gives some really fast heuristics. e.g. if time-boxed, then reduce consensus; if hero req'd, give up credit; if consensus req'd, give up time commitments, etc.

The best easy book I can recommend about large organizations is Smith & DeMesquita's "Dictator's Handbook" because it provides a practical applied model for determining incentives between groups. Reality is, the people you are dealing with are running their own mental version of the model, where the coalition that keeps them employed and prevailing is made up of essentials, influentials, and interchangeables. They intuit a salience matrix of stakeholders (decision power, vs. how much stakeholder cares), and while everything is dynamic, it is usually within these parameters. It's a tool that can provide fast insight into group/project/org behavior pretty well.
People do have options, if service is bad enough they can buy a car. (I don't want them to, but they can). Or vote for politicians who will do something about it (I'd prefer transit was entirely private, but for a number of reasons that isn't possible anymore)
I really dislike Dialyzer. I'm glad something like this exists.

this seems to be a pain point that Elixir devs wish were resolved sooner than later.

Jose Valim and Chris McCord gave a Q&A recently and did an informal survey of the room and asked if Devs wanted better type checking tools in the eco system and over whelmingly, the group want slightly better to way better type checking options.
They are slowly getting there. For example, postgres 12 added REINDEX CONCURRENTLY. Under the hood it's just recreating the index and then name swapping and dropping the old one. Basically what pg_repack was doing.

There's a huge collection of tricks out there that just need to become formal features. The trick I'm working with today is adding a check constraint with NOT VALID and then immediately calling VALIDATE because otherwise it takes a very aggressive lock that blocks writes. That could easy become ALTER TABLE CONCURRENTLY or something.
This broken link building thing has kind of gotten out of hand though. I run a popular website and I had to create a very complicated filter just to keep those hundreds of emails I get about some 10 year old link or look Google changed Adwords to just Ads type emails. Also the free guest post email. Just no.

There has got to be a better way to build these links if that is so important for SEO. I think email spam will drop by 10% the day this happens.
I don't know which interview you're talking about, but in any event you don't know what his motivation was for saying what he said when he said it. Perhaps he was wrong, perhaps he changed his mind, perhaps he was rationalizing on the fly, or perhaps he lied.

It's clear that what he and other scientists said about masks early in the pandemic certainly changed over time. I think science is like that. People who like simple, certain, unchanging answers can get them from religion or ideology. People who don't mind complexity, nuance, and change are more comfortable with science.

Assuming Fauci was lying because what he said then isn't what he is saying now just isn't logical.

Blockbuster v Netflix is odd though, in that Blockbuster actually did pivot to the DVD by mail subscriptions really well.

Well at least operationally it was a good product, and imo better than Netflix's, but I have no idea if helped or hurt them financially.

But Blockbuster's established sources for content/disks should have been an advantage against the stories of Netflix having to go buy retail copies of movies in cases of uncooperative distributors.

It was just Phase 2 and moving to streaming where they fell so far behind. (Plus Redbox's uprising didn't help, which is a separate failure to pivot.)

> Getters and Setters? You probably don't need them. Classes can have public member variables.

The getter / setter debate and public fields is about exposing the internal implementation of the object (and thus making it unchangeable without breaking other code) and being able to reason about where the internals are used (if you do need to change them).

For example, if I've got a java.util.Date exposed as a public field and someone uses it, I can't change that later to a java.time.LocalDateTime unless I change all of the things using it. If this is a library that others are using it may mean a cascade of unknown changes.

If, on the other hand, the Date was exposed as a public Date getDate() { return date.clone(); } then I don't have to worry about it. When the internals are changed to LocalDateTime, then Date getDate() { return Date.from(local.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault()).toInstant()); } and everything will still work.

I don't have an issue with the infrequently used "default package private" level of field visibility where only classes in the same package can see that field as that limits the range of the changes to the classes within single package (in a single project).
> Meta comments that disparage the HN community are so weird.

I think I can provide an explanation for their increasing popularity: people have figured out that it gives a cheap boost to the "legitimacy" of their comment without adding any actual substance, partially because it stirs a feeling of guilt and wanting to "be better" (either than the rest of HN, or as an individual).

Needless to say, it's just another form of emotional manipulation that doesn't add anything to the discussion.

The guidelines already discourage this kind of thing: "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community."[1]

The Unifi Protect mobile app is infuriating, for some reason it wants me to enter a new TOTP code about once a week. So basically any time I launch the app.

The one consideration I'd give is you need really good wifi coverage for it. I'm not sure if there's a way to lower the quality slightly, but it can take 5-10 seconds just to start viewing the live feed for some reason, because I don't have an access point close enough to it.
I think the most fundamental way in which the software ecosystem is unprepared doesn't require Optane storage or 64+ core systems to demonstrate.

When CPU core counts first started growing, storage was still effectively single-threaded: a hard drive can only work on servicing one request at a time (though you can get a small throughput increase by keeping several requests in the queue), and scaling up to arrays of many drives was much more effective at increasing sequential throughput than random IO performance.

With flash-based storage, the SSD now has far more parallelism than your CPU. Having one pending IO operation per CPU core isn't enough to keep your SSDs busy. Having one pending IO per software thread and doing lots of context switches to run more threads than you have cores still won't keep your drives busy, unless you're only doing IO in large chunks. So synchronous, blocking IO APIs are unable to make full use of your storage performance. Optane's low latency doesn't save you from this problem; it just highlights that context switches are also too expensive.

A few years back I wrote a program that, given a blank or partially-filled in (NYT-style) crossword grid (with black squares already inserted), could fill out the rest of the grid with valid words/phrases both across and down. It had no relation to clues though, you had to write the clues yourself after the grid was filled out.

I wrote it because I wanted to make my dad (a huge nyt crossword fan) a custom crossword for his birthday. I put in a bunch of phrases related to him and our family and let the program fill in the rest. It was a huge hit, never really went back to it though. Anyone know if anything else like this exists?

The way through which the pointed arch travelled to Western Europe is still up to debate. My understanding is that it was used decoratively in Islamic architecture, and that a load-bearing form existed in the Near-East but not fully realised. Single, isolated load-bearing pointed arches are still found in Turkey, Syria or Iraq in gates and bridges that predate Gothic architecture.

In my opinion that basic design was picked up during the Crusades and expounded upon due to the specific constraints of Christian architecture, that is building up rather than wide.

In the end I believe it makes far more sense that they saw something abroad used in large civil engineering and made use of out it, rather than picking a decorative feature of Islamic architecture for structural features.

> You get blocked from mainstream registrars by spreading hate

Not really. The internet appears to have a two-caste system:

1. Facebook, Twitter, etc. Twitter hosts plenty of hate, but because they have a "policy" (regardless of its actual effectiveness), they're good. Facebook allows mass murderers to livestream their killing sprees, and their subsidiary, Instagram, literally hosts open-air sex slave markets. But because they have a(n ineffective) policy against these things, they're fine.

2. Gab, Parler, Bitchute, etc. These platforms also host hate. But because they have a policy that embraces free speech, they have significant deplatforming issues.

It's important to note that in our current caste system, it doesn't matter what you ACTUALLY DO. It only matters what your policy is, regardless of whether you enforce that policy or not.
That's a very interesting way of thinking about things, but I think unfortunately the search techniques we are using (gradient descent with certain datasets/self-supervision tasks) limit us to exploring a very small subset of that 10TB of possible programs. A search strategy that could actually find the optimal 10TB program to accomplish some task would actually be a superintelligence beyond anything we have ever thought of creating using present day AI techniques.

> I'm sorry for your experience in France. French people are not really friendly to strangers (not in a racist way, more in a "i don't even know what language this stranger is talking"). I'm 50% sure the locker staff didn't even understand what you wanted from them and just reacted with stress.

To be clear, I was speaking French, and by that time my French pronunciation was good enough that everyone could understand me without extra effort (probably no longer true). In my experience, the French were quite warm when they weren't "on the job". For example, my French classmates (even those I didn't know well) were happy to help me navigate campus and answer questions and so on.

> But Paris have the reputation to be pretty hostile, even to the rest of french population. Our other cities are much more open and friendly.

It could definitely be regional, but most of my experiences were actually in Rennes and Nantes (not Paris)--although on one visit to Nantes, there was a big protest by farmers over the construction of an airport which probably had people a little more aggravated than normal: the farmers were deliberately blocking traffic with their tractors, including dumping large piles of dirt in certain intersections which was an interesting sight to behold until some anarchists came and started setting fires and otherwise behaving dangerously.

> Our countryside is also pretty friendly but don't expect anyone there to understand you but at least they'll friendly try to fake that they can.

My school was actually in rural Rennes (ENSAI) near the village of Bruz--I only spoke French because I had quite a few experiences where people would be angry or annoyed if I asked if they spoke English. Almost every time I tried to call and order a taxi in English (when I first arrived, before my French was very good), we would make the appointment, but the taxi wouldn't show up (very stressful because I was poor and very worried that I would miss a train or flight because the taxi didn't show up). One of my English classmates suggested I start making the appointments in French, and then the taxi showed up every time!

But in general I didn't mind having to speak French--I know if you walked up to an American and started speaking French they would probably be annoyed as well, and generally I feel like if you're living in a country you should make every effort to speak the language (and I wanted to learn the language better anyway--that was one of my goals for studying abroad).

Even though I had bad experiences, I still like France and the French, and my wife and I have since gone back and visited Paris once because we now have "fuck you" money (which is to say, we don't have to beg and plead for help, we can afford to miss a flight here and there). We also ate breakfast at a charming little cafe near our AirBnB in the 17th every morning, and contrary to my other anecdotes, the staff were very friendly. :)
I can't talk about /. and reddit, but HN barely moves the needle. Today the logs say that there are ~5800 page views with a referrer from HN. CPU load: 0.07 :o)

The nice thing about "basic sites" is that they don't use many resources. SL runs on a dedicated (bare metal/root) server on Hetzner (along several other services), and as long as the working set of the DB fits into memory (for Sensei's this is ~500MB) I'd argue that it withstands /., but probably not the reddit frontpage.

"Quantized Majorana conductance not actually observed within indium antimonide nanowires"

"Quantum qubit substrate found to be apparently insufficient" (Given the given methods and probably available resources)

And then - in an attempt to use terminology from Constructor Theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructor_theory :

> In constructor theory, a transformation or change is described as a task. A constructor is a physical entity which is able to carry out a given task repeatedly. A task is only possible if a constructor capable of carrying it out exists, otherwise it is impossible. To work with constructor theory everything is expressed in terms of tasks. The properties of information are then expressed as relationships between possible- and impossible tasks. Counterfactuals are thus fundamental statements and the properties of information may be described by physical laws.[4] If a system has a set of attributes, the set of permutations of these attributes is seen as a set of tasks. A computation medium is a system whose attributes permute to always produce a possible task. The set of permutations, and hence of tasks, is a computation set. If it is possible to copy the attributes in the computation set, the computation medium is also an information medium.

> Information, or a given task, does not rely on a specific constructor. Any suitable constructor will serve. This ability of information to be carried on different physical systems or media is described as interoperability, and arises as the principle that the combination of two information media is also an information medium.[4] Media capable of carrying out quantum computations are called superinformation media, and are characterised by specific properties. Broadly, certain copying tasks on their states are impossible tasks. This is claimed to give rise to all the known differences between quantum and classical information.[4]

"Subsequent attempts to reproduce [Quantized Majorana conductance (topological qubits of arranged electrons) within indium antimonide nanowires] eventually as a (quantum) computation medium for the given tasks failed"

"Quantum computation by Majorana zero-mode (MZM) quasiparticles in indium antimonide nanowires not actually apparently possible"

... "But what about in DDR5?" Which leads us to a more generally interesting: "Rowhammer for qubits", which is already an actual Quantum on Silicon (QoS) thing.
