Austria is fairly Catholic for European standards, but Vienna, the capital, is a major exception. It had a "sexually liberated", freethinking and bohemian reputation already in the 19th century.

Much like the USA, Europe does not fit into neat boxes made of stereotypes.

This is pretty hilarious. I just noticed that this is published by NCC Group. (Former NCC Group pentester here, and now I happen to be an ML engineer.)

I don't think HN's negativity is warranted. But there's also some confusion, which I'd like to help clear up.

People here seem confused about "Why? Why do this?"

The answer is simply that it's an interesting problem. That's it.

It doesn't need to be important, or a promising research direction, or mention low bit precision, or quantized networks, or be performant, or tackle a complex PRNG.

It just needs to be an interesting problem which you can solve. Love of ML is no more complicated than that.

Knowing the fellas at NCC, I'm quite certain that they did this mostly out of intellectual curiosity rather than some grand plan to advance the state of the art of ML. And I think that's wonderful. More people should get into ML with exactly that mindset.
> I don't want a 'journey' to use my OS. I don't want to learn a whole new language and set of overengineered abstractions to solve what I see as, at most, 5% more of application installation problems that are already 75% solved by package managers[0]. If the Nix community wants more people using Nix, they'll have to make it more attractive for those of us who do not want to waste so much time needlessly learning new stuff to do the same things we're already doing.

This is fair, but keep in mind that package managing is only a small part that what Nix solves, and it is a much superior solution than anything else that I know (Docker for example is not really reproducible because you can't trace all dependencies; this seems like a philosophic issue but I saw some containers breaking because some dependency inside the container was updated without nobody knowing).

If we take NixOS, it also solves the issue with configuration, and with some auxiliary tools it also solves issues with deployment. You have alternatives for both of the issues too, but the fact that NixOS is much more integrated than any tooling (like Ansible, Puppet, etc) means you have much more flexibility. Also, don't forget atomic upgrades and fallback.

Eventually, instead of "wasting time", NixOS starts to save time by becoming the most reliable OS you ever used: you will never waste time anymore reinstalling your system from scratch, or if your hardware broke, you will never waste days trying to get your system to the same way it was. Also, because nixpkgs is enormous, you also tend to save time by not looking at "oh, this program seems cool, how can I install it on my computer since I never heard of this XYZ language?", and them installing the package manager from the language in 5 different ways because you have no clue. And even when you need to package the program yourself, nixpkgs has many abstractions that makes it much easier.

So instead of wasting time, Nix and NixOS is an investment. You may choose to invest your time right now to save later or not. Either way is fine.

Just to finish the topic, I fully concur yo you that we as a community needs to have better documentation.
How do Nix and Guix compare?
Considering it is entirely automated, this is extremely good.

I'm not a bit against ML restoration. We've been paying artist to color BW in the early days, this is just replacing the artist by machines.

Judging from the video, it looks like no inter-frame relation is considered, so color varies wildly from on frame to another. The video still lacks some form of stabilization. Frames still have defects inherited from the film.

Also, it clearly was recorded in different speeds, so people have an uncanny walk in the last scenes.

I hope, in the not too distant future, these flaws will be taken care of and we'll see restorations that are very hard to differentiate from original footage.
> It's built using Seastar, which is sort of an ugh but cool unholy marriage of node.js and C++14 with an event loop per thread, and message passing between threads. It predates C++20 coroutines I guess, so you pass callbacks around like in Node using C++ lambdas. Maybe they have updated that by now.

That seems like a lot of work just to badly recreate Erlang. (Which, yes, doesn’t let you define your own native data structures in-and-of-itself — but there’s always NIFs, e.g. https://blog.discord.com/using-rust-to-scale-elixir-for-11-m....)

It’s less bleak than one might think:

For tracing, at least Sailfish OS has an app called Contrac [1]. I looked into porting it over to other PinePhone OS, but with the CRUST and deep sleep, it would not really be useful there anyway (as it would not be active most of the time).

> Is is easier to implement or faster because of processor architectures/instruction sets to use least significnt bits or is that just a matter of choice?

I have no idea if this is the reason in this particular in case, but on most architectures if you can fit everything you need to atomically modify together into one word there will be an instruction to do that quickly.

For example many architectures have a compare-and-swap instruction. That generally takes 3 arguments: a memory address, an old value, and a new value. It atomically compares the word at the given address to the old value, and if and only if they are the same writes the new value to the memory address.
Both intensity and frequency of extreme weather events increased much faster than anticipated.

This may be a result of climate scientists presenting conservative estimates due to the fear of being labelled alarmist.

Apple doesn't even do 200% scaling on most of their laptops by default. My 2018 15" MBP has a native resolution of 2280x1800 but the default is looks like 1680x1050 not looks like 1440x900.

Do you have difficulty viewing 1080p at 15" at 100% scaling? I found that very viewable on my old laptop so 4K at 200% should be fine. You can adjust the scaling if you're really bothered by fractional scaling. It's improved a lot too. Much better than it was in the Win 8 days.
Unless the plan was to have rolling brownouts/blackouts I have no doubt that being bailed out by the grid was absolutely part of the contingency plan.

Maybe they didn't expect to need the contingency so soon, but that is on their risk analysis of the weather.

Wave of Egg-Kings

Soon after this event Egg-Kings were found on the thrones of all these kingdoms, such as Eggberd, Eggbreth, Eggfroth, etc. None of them, however, succeeded in becoming memorable except in so far as it is difficult to forget such names as Eggbirth, Eggbred, Eggbeard, Eggfish, etc. Nor is it even remembered by what kind of Eggdeath they perished.

and the exam question:

8. Have you the faintest recollection of (1) Ethelbreth? (2) Athelthral? (3) Thruthelthrolth?

Grouper look promising but there are performance problems with Grouper when you reach a certain scale.

When I tried to import my institution LDAP, I had to exclude the major groups it was meant to manage as they were basically undeletable. Sure you could easily delete one reference group ex (u:ref:students:adm:adm101:20201:01) but deleting all the group from a faculty (evrything under u:ref:students:adm) took more than a weekend (I killed the job and recreated the database from a snapshot).

In the grouper mailing list it was suggested to keep only the previous, current and next trimester but this arrangement was unworkable at my institution, there are valid usecases that require groups from the 5 last years.

Things might have changed since I did this experiment a few years ago and I dont do identity management anymore :)

In theory compilers can always optimize constant expressions, but they don't IRL. See my example above where I multiply the elements of an array containing {2,2}: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28886999

My code is C style and unrealistically simple, yet the compiler can't even constant-fold that.

If you've looked at the output of real compilers, you'd know that it's unrealistic for a language to let you to use the result of an arbitrary function call where you'd normally use a constant.
California has such a disfunctional gov, don’t ever let people tell you there’s no money. It’s just going to overpaid public sector workers in education (where you can’t be fired after 2 years and pay is completely based on seniority), health care, and the prisons. Police in my area make up to 600k with overtime, and probably get a similarly large guaranteed pension. All those services have gotten huge increases in money over the last few years with 0 to negative improvement.
It's not america's fault, but the rest of the world's. Unfortunately europe has rendered itself completely dependent on US media to the point where i don't know any sites where i could discuss matters from european perspective. There are only local language sites.
> I would argue that the main value proposition of constexpr is not what the compiler can figure out automatically but allowing the developer to express where he wants constexpr and afterwards allow the compiler to verify if that's possible.

If you want to look at it that way, it only applies to variable declarations at best. Not function declarations, which is the most common case of where it's used (and it completely clutters the code).

And honestly, if that was the value proposition, they could've just done it a million other ways. Like think even 'template<auto V> static const auto constant = V' would let you do constant<whatever> and verify it at compile time. Yeah it's C++20 but they could've still done it then or used a different approach, there are lots of ways to address this (attributes, etc.). No need to clutter every function prototype in the language for something that small.

Also I think you're thinking more of consteval than constexpr.

There's nothing greener than an already built nuclear reactor.
I was waiting for this comment

What I was really trying to do was mention the areas of Europe that are either “sexually liberated” or apathetic to sexuality and equally wont bother anybody or weakly say “it’s not my opinion it’s the advertisers!” because the advertisers don’t care either

I wasn't aiming to imply or say the entire subcontinent is like that

Not sure a better way to do that, even with your observation
R for example allows to save state on exit. I wish R supported an alternative lispy syntax.
Real inflation is not 5.8%. Houses are up like 30%. Gas too.
I generally subscribe to the GTD/inbox zero approach mentioned in one of the other comments. In this system, after reading an email it should be processed into your task management system, unread emails are waiting to be processed and read emails have already been processed, so no need to worry in either case.

To process an email means to read it and determine what action is necessary and, if relevant, file in the task system. The possible outcomes from reading an email are: Do, Defer, Delegate, or Archive.

You should Do something immediately if it’s very urgent or quick to do. Otherwise Defer the action for later by saving a task in your management system (not in you inbox). Delegate and Archive are pretty straightforward. Read up on GTD method for more details.

I don't think most Republicans or the WSJ deny climate change these days, just differ on urgency and impact.

This poll shows 67% of Republicans think warming is happening and 56% think warming will continue in the future if nothing is done to address it.

I... am stunned why people think this in any way supports the narrative of petrodollar-supremacy. Because neither oil nor dollars are implicated in that string of statements at all. Especially GP's summary of the statement--"we bombed Libya because they wanted to price oil in euros instead"--is at complete odds with the implied statement here--"Libya wanted to move from euro-backed currency."

Now it's important to note the context of the source. The diplomatic cables are--effectively--gossip reports. In general, they're not indications that anyone actually believes them, nor indications that their reports are causes for action. A report that a French president is concerned about threats to French suzerainty in its former African colonies is exactly the sort of thing that I'd go "right, I believe that... and I don't care." There is yet, to my knowledge, any evidence that this actually influenced US foreign policy in any manner whatsoever, let alone supports the petrodollar-supremacy narrative.
I see nothing in the guidelines against calling out a lie. I don't see how any sensible rules of discussion could possibly ban that. Why are you coming after me instead of the poster I replied to who is making false accusations?
It is mostly hydrogen, so most of the energy was dissipated in the first few seconds. Most of the other materials or do not burn well or have very low thermal capacity. It was not on its highest altitude when burning started and drag dumped the falling to much slower speeds than a free-falling person.

I'd estimate that most people who died were trapped or unable to move. Those who were free to run and had enough "air" were very likely to survive.
I don't even do doomsday prep, and I find it interesting.

I actually think all people should do some limited "prepping" and there are things that can be learned from the people that are really into it.

I try to think about how I might survive for a few weeks if crap hits the fan to a limited extent.

In the most basic terms that means food and drinking water for a couple of weeks. This can be done pretty simply for like, $20USD per person - rice, beans, water, maybe some multivitamins, etc.

In 6-12 months you can just eat that stuff and replace it in your "mini-prepper" kit. So in a way it doesn't really cost anything, just some shelf space. You'll also obviously need a way to cook the food, too so -- maybe $40 for a little camping stove and some propane.

If you have a large-ish chest freezer, that's an excellent asset. Fill it with ice packs, will stay cold for weeks even after the power goes out.

An emergency "go bag" / "bug out bag" is worth thinking about as well. The nature of some emergencies is such that you'll need to hit the road. IMO this is more expensive/challenging to do well but it's also the case of "literally anything is better than nothing". A $5 backback with a Leatherman, a purifying water bottle, and a blanket is 1000x better than nothing.

(I don't bother thinking about how I might survive individually in the face of complete societal breakdown. The rules for surviving that will be completely different - things will quickly coalesce into gangs/tribes/mob rule, that kind of thing)

Once there's a framework keyboard with a standardized arrow key layout I'd probably buy one. It's an amazing step forward and I want to support the company's effort.
The Framework Laptop does not support S3 suspend. I have it running with S2deep in Linux, which works okay, but it isn’t a fantastic scenario. Hibernation is the way when the processor doesn’t support S3, unfortunately. Even Windows would fall back to it after a short duration.
You gotta do it. The psych test is long (3-4 hours) but it's easy and worthwhile.

For me, obtaining a diagnosis (finally, at age 41) was extremely helpful on its own. Remember that if you have a diagnosis, you are not obligated to medicate. With my diagnosis in hand I was prescribed Strattera, which is not a stimulant like Adderall. It is demonstrably helpful, but not mind-blowingly effective.
You should get checked out for anxiety and depression too. Living with ADHD causes one to develop anxiety and depression, which can be more detrimental. I've been on citalopram since about age 30. I also work with a talk therapist once a week.
Getting help for anxiety, and the SSRI medication especially has made all the difference in my professional life. I had the severe kind of dysfunction you're experiencing and over the course of a few months on those meds I became the confident and productive team leader I wanted to be.
Interestingly, it wasn't until becoming the parent of a child with ADHD that I was curious about investigating it for myself.
Best of luck :)
How about camera jamming with UV (for example, on your car's license plate)?

I imagine this has been discussed on HN before (if so, just send me the link),
In reality, dedicated pizza ovens are tall enough fit most styles of bread. The necessities of air circulation means you can't shrink the vertical space as much as you might like to.

Anyway, it seems to me the important metric in this regard would be how many items per unit time a baker can effectively manage. Pizza requires some amount of attention more or less constantly. I doubt one baker can manage more than 5 at time, even if the oven could fit many more. Meanwhile that same baker can set a timer on an oven containing many dozens of bread loaves and forget about them until they're done.
A deliberate underproduction to get "bailed out" is a strong accusation, I think it warrants a better proof than analysis of one line of an article. Especially when the article points out other reasons why production doesn't meet demand.

Unless you talk about actual contingency plans for emergencies in which case I don't quite understand what's so scandalous about falling back on the grid in emergencies. France also falls back on Germany's power generation when they have to shut down some of their nuclear reactors during heat waves.

I'd already replied to you on that example and explained this has nothing to do with optimizations as far as performance and mechanics go. The only relevance of optimizations is to show that the language semantics always permitted it. Not to suggest an optimize needs to be run to actually do this.

The bunker people have a shock coming if anything happens. The security, maintenance, and builders of said facility have a disaster plan too.

1.go to rich guy shelter

2. Jim who works there opens door/secret backdoor code installed at build time

3.Remove rich nerds with force if necessary

4.Move in family and friends to wait out disaster

Actually in all likelihood the "poor's" that maintain and build it are probably much better equipped to get to the shelter in a disaster and will already be there and have it locked up by the time the people that still think ownership is a thing show up.
It may very well be that they don't know what it is, but if it comes from catalytic converters, it's definitely harmful because you can't put anything in converters in your body without suffering harm.
Maybe the concern there is devices appearing to be turned off but really still running in low power mode? The only way to be sure is to physically interrupt the power supply.
You don't need to manually edit the registry for this. There's a checkbox in Explorer's settings.
For one thing, for many the concept of "prepping" is an irresistible problem to tackle.

It's kind of a "fun" challenge to solve -- like how can I fit enough stuff to survive for $DAYS into a backpack? Or $SOMEOTHERTIMESPAN at my home? What would that stuff be? How can I do it for $X or less?

(I put "fun" in quotes because obviously, the idea of needing your prepped stuff is not fun at all)

It's the kind of engineering-ish, working-within-constraints challenge that tends to apply to HN types.
