That the same UK that almost constantly pulls in 2 GW of French nuclear, 16 GW of gas, and - if the cable to France breaks - coal at > £ 200 MWh, in a totally unremarkable September, not counting the gas used for heating which lead to several energy companies going bust because of a wind shortfall?

Incidentally, look up the radionuclide emissions of a coal (or even heavy oil) plant, such as the one used when the wind stopped blowing. They're literally only allowed because the radionuclide standards applied to fission aren't applied to coal.

Wikipedia shows nuclear in France at EUR 70/MWh, and solar without storage at around EUR 50/MWh. Storage will make it easily more expensive than nuclear plants. Remember, Europe is farther north and less insolated than California, Hawaii or Morocco, where solar PV might achieve $30-40/MWh.
Oh, I missed this feature. Thank you very much!
But the act of tapping someone in the shoulder and break their concentration already does all the harm IMO.

Once you've done that, headphones on or off is redundant.

In my experience, 99% of these disturbances could be avoided with a bit more effort on the side of the person interrupting. So what generally happens is that the person concentrating loses his focus - very likely getting out of the zone - and helps them with something that they could've done themselves.

For me it really seems selfish the majority of the time. Urgent matters, things that really block you and you absolutely can't figure out, sure. Almost anything else can wait a bit for a response.

Fake news: News Corp claims Huawei pulling out of Australia
The CCP are the Nazis of our time, and currently have border disputes with all of their neighbors. There's an arms race in that region because they won't respect WTO rulings.

Huawei's founder is "former" PLA, which is the CCP's military arm.

Huawei has gutted Western telecom competitors by dumping equipment on the West, which reduces tech job opportunities.

Any Huawei router is one firmware update away from giving the CCP access to your network.
If your goal is reparation then you should only give special treatment to the descendants of people who were harmed in the past.

The size needed for an error detection code depends on the size of the data from which it was computed, on the error rate and on the time that passes since the error detection code is generated until it is verified.

With data sent through communication channels, the error rate may be high, but the data reaches its destination after a few seconds. On an archival storage medium, the error rate may be very low, but you might check for corruption only some years later.

If you want to decide which is the acceptable error detection length, the best way would be to make a simulation, with random data of the expected length to which various random errors having the expected number should be applied. Then you can test the alternative error detection codes to see whether they detect the errors or not.

I expect that for data sizes of a few megabytes a 64-bit CRC should be OK.

From my experiments with gigabyte-sized files, 32-bit CRCs were completely inadequate, 128-bit hashes were OK and 64-bit CRCs were inconclusive.

(By OK and inconclusive, I mean that 128-bit hashes detected all the errors generated, but I have seen 2 cases not detected by CRC-64 in several tens of millions of tests at a 5 GB file size, which was more than expected but statistically insignificant.)

Because the speed of 128-bit to 256-bit non-CRC hashes, e.g. Poly1305, SHA-1, SHA-256 or BLAKE3 is very high on modern CPUs, i.e. much faster than any CRC implementation that does not use PCLMUL or equivalent instructions, and of similar speed to a 64-bit CRC with PCLMUL after the overhead for data movement is accounted for, and because there is very little published information about the properties of the few 64-bit CRCs known, I have not made any extra experiments to confirm whether a 64-bit CRC might be adequate, because using any 128-bit hash was more certain to give good results without any disadvantages.

On the other hand, for a hardware implementation it would make sense to determine whether a 64-bit CRC is good enough for a certain application.
The good news is that we'll soon be inventing entirely new punishments for regulatory capture.

I think HN is pretty set on the fact that Magic Leap is vaporware, isn't it? do they even have a product?
It depends on how you set it up. If you don't isolate your CPU cores, you'll notice VM load on the host and the other way around. Other than that, the loss is negligible (unless you're going for benchmarks). I'd say in the sub-5% range, depending on the workload (GPU, for example, is usually not impacted at all). My old workstation with an i5-2500 could still play AAA games in good quality (with a somewhat modern GPU).

Surprisingly, the disk performance of HDDs and SATA SSDs is actually better in VMs for me. It seems that the caching and/or access strategy used by the Linux kernel helps a lot.

Of course there is always small cost; for one, you're running two OS at once, so not all resources are available. You'll also need to have a sound system (unless you have two sound cards or use scream, you might have latency) and if you pass-through USB via the VM subsystem instead of handing an USB controller to the VM, some high-speed devices might make problems (i.e. DJ controllers). But overall, I'd say the cost is negligible for nearly all use-cases.
Mumble is atrocious for the end user, teamspeak is atrocious for folks running servers and end users and don't even get me started on what Skype ended up as. They really don't compare to something like Discord at all, which is a corporate hellscape but is admittedly very low barrier to entry (and more importantly just works).
If the projected delivery window is the entirety of 2022, it can easily slip into 2023 just as well.

TL;DR : Magic Leap 2 will be released somewhere before 2025.
This may sound half-baked, but I personally plan on exploring how far I can take the ideal and form of a "book" oriented UX/UI, in a least one future project--but is a subject I've written about almost too much.

If this sounds silly for software, then what exactly is the UX/UI of a spreadsheet application, and why is it so universally useful? At first, I thought this was by virtue of its tabular UI/UX, but books are nothing but rows and columns of text, are they not? At least Awk thinks so. What is the difference between a cell and a sheet in a relational sense? I see no difference, or that is, its design is isomorphic.

A book is a collection of sheets, where a sheet consists of other sheets or views, where a view is any given selection and dimension of text. Sheets can be stacked, ordered, sorted, and indexed into new books, just as words can--and as linguists say, into an infinite set of sentences (views). This design cannot be reduced in a hyper-grammatical sense.

This is to suggest that a "book" UX/UI would require a new way on how we approach language not only within the context of software but language--it's a direct spit in the face of Chomsky himself (although he would have more to say about this than I), but hasn't this been a long ways in coming? It seems as if textual communication is the long term trend, but comes at no surprise to any of us, here whom work remotely. So really when I say "book" based UX/UI, I mean just that, but really--it is augmented natural grammar--a subject beyond the scope of this discussion.

All good UX solves a problem, so what is the problem here? It's increasing the transmission capacity of information over text, or that is, expanding what and how we can express as information with language, without monumental standards. But no language is without communication and therefore the crux of the problem lies in the future of higher level network protocols (if you believe in such a thing).
But does it? Lots of plastic is exported for "Recycling" ends up polluting 3rd world countries or in local landfills.

That's easy, Render.com (it's like if Heroku were designed in 2021, and a lot cheaper). And can handle docker and distributed Elixir out of the box as well as free static sites).

More like Kotlin, as nil problem exists in Java, but not in Kotlin.
Ref.counting is slow, causes too many extra memory requests. Also, when the program is multithreaded, access to cache lines recently modified by another CPU core is expensive, even more so that a cache miss.

For these reasons, most garbage collection systems are using mark and sweep, or something similar.

> the U.S. military has traditionally been deployed to promote and safeguard American commercial interests

Any examples except maybe Kuwait? Korea and Vietnam were for geopolitical reasons, "to stop communists taking too much power", Iraq was few people taking advantage of 9/11 to line their pockets with government procured money. Afghanistan was the latter again. Which American deployment directly safeguarded American commercial interests?
The cost of changing jobs is pretty high, in my assessment. I mean, perhaps not if you're young, single and mobile; but if you are married with kids in school, own a home and pay a mortgage, changing jobs is personally very disruptive.

And then you have to develop a working relationship with your new boss and employer, and your new colleagues; you have to learn new tools and platforms, which may make you much less productive for up to a year. And all of these learnings carry risk - for whatever reason, the new job might not work out, and you might have to move again, this time maybe with a shotgun to your head.

The employer-employee relationship isn't symmetrical, even if you are a superstar engineer. No company has ever relocated just because a superstar engineer decided he preferred a warmer climate. Basically, staff are fungible, employers are not.

Of the "representative publications" on her homepage here https://ece.duke.edu/faculty/cynthia-rudin the one that seems most relevant to the topic of the article is this paper on interpretable financial lending: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.02605.pdf

"The machine learning model is a two-layer additive risk model, which resembles a two-layer neural network, but is decomposable into subscales. In this model, each node in the first (hidden) layer represents a meaningful subscale model, and all of the nonlinearities are transparent. Our online visualization tool allows exploration of this model, showing precisely how it came to its conclusion. We provide three types of explanations that are simpler than, but consistent with, the global model: case-based reasoning explanations that use neighboring past cases, a set of features that were the most important for the model’s prediction, and summary-explanations that provide a customized sparse explanation for any particular lending decision made by the model."

I was curious about the customized sparse explanation. It looks like there is an illustrative example from later in the paper:

"For all 700 (7.1%) people where:

• ExternalRiskEstimate ≤ 63 , and

• NetFractionRevolvingBurden ≥ 73,

the global model predicts a high risk of default."

"A rule returned by OptConsistentRule is globally-consistent, in the sense that there exists no previous case that satisfies the conditions in the rule but is predicted differently, by the global model, from what is stated in the rule. In contrast, explanations (from other methods) that are not consistent may hold for one customer but not for another, which could eventually jeopardize trust (e.g., “That other person also satisfied the rule but he wasn’t denied a loan, like I was!”)"

You can see the online visualization tool her team built here: http://dukedatasciencefico.cs.duke.edu/models/

In retrospect, it's not all that surprising to me that a model such as this is able to outperform a black box like a neural network. For example, one of the things this model does which black box models don't do is enforce "monotonicity constraints" which ensure that as risk factors increase, the estimated risk should also increase. It makes sense that this would be a useful inductive bias which improves generalization performance -- if a black box model found that an increase in risk factors decreased estimated risk, it seems likely that this would be a result of overfitting (or multicollinearity gone haywire).

Of course another reason to expect simple/interpretable models to generalize better is Occam's Razor.

My big question about this sort of approach would be whether it's able to extend to the sort of unstructured data problems that deep learning has done really well on. It looks like some of her recent papers on Google Scholar address this: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=mezKJyoAAAAJ... (specifically thinking of the BacHMMachine paper and the Interpretable Mammographic Image Classification paper). Maybe someone else can summarize them.

Show HN: Organizedly – End-to-end encrypted notes and todo's
Hi Hackers!

I launched the MVP of Organized.ly in Hacker News in January and got a ton of great feedback. Now the product has evolved a lot.

Key features since the last launch:

We now support end-to-end encryption, where we do not store your backup password. When enabled, all your notes and tasks and encrypted on device level.

Note-taking is block based. This allows you to type content with low-friction. For example, you can create a block for a meeting. Type the tag #meetings anywhere in that block. Then, you can list all blocks with that tag, regardless of the parent note.

We've also improved the task management with multi-level subtasks, Kanban boards, calendar integrations to Google and Microsoft, among other improvements. Our goal is to allow you to create tasks with low friction and organize them easily, for example by dragging-and-dropping to your calendar.
I quickly whipped up a bookmarklet to view any Medium article in scribe.rip for anyone interested:

Looking around the world it seems like it’s easy and cheap today to get to 30% or so solar and wind (averaged over 24-48h). Going beyond that gets a lot harder. You need storage, long range grid connects (e.g. HVDC), etc.

The actual practical max varies by location. Some places have a ton of solar or wind and some have poor conditions. There are regions with poor renewables and high population density. That would require long range grid connects but that in turn raises the bar for the regions from which they are drawing.

Batteries need to drop in price by at least another order of magnitude. They’ve already experienced almost Moore’s Law price drops for the past two decades so this is probably possible. The major cost now is manufacturing not materials and batteries are amenable to a lot of manufacturing automation.

Not sure... It seems likely to me that people who've been forced to work from home during the Covid pandemic tend to have crap office-space because it's only temporary. In contrast, people who have made a conscious decision/choice to work from home (as I've done for over 25 years, now) proceed by setting up a proper work space. (Along with developing good work-hygiene like keeping office hours sharply separate from personal time, keeping work in the office and not letting it spill over into the lounge, kitchen, etc.)

Main point: there's a marked (mental, emotional) difference between "this is a temporary emergency" and "this is the way I work (forever)".
Can money buy respectability?

If I awarded $1 Million to a random person every year, receiving that award wouldn't make that person more accomplished, and the award wouldn't be mentioned outside the local newspaper. On the other hand an award that gives no money but consistently awards the best researcher in the field can be very noteworthy.

What the $1 million does accomplish is make people pay attention, so everyone will much more quickly reach a verdict whether this is a price worth paying attention to. But two years is a bit quick for that verdict.
