Bravo! Well done!!!

IMO every company should give something to OSS projects no matter how little, even if its a few hundred dollars or a small commit. Everyone benefits from OSS and how it does not occur to companies to give back is beyond me. I think us developers fail to educate management on how simple and vital to support OSS projects. I dream of the day when it becomes normal for job candidates to ask potential employers "how do you support OSS?"
LOL, This has got to be prior art. I can recall assorted radio etc links along these lines. Starlink and Satphones come to mind...
This is brilliant. I sometimes produce educational videos to teach kids programming. A recurring challenge we have is pitching the information at a level that’s interesting but not confusing for beginners and kids who are less literate. This format I’d like to try out
I am assuming either you are joking or you are failing to see the ham-handed self-congratulation pg gives himself through this entire piece of shit.

Paragraph 1: Einstein was smart, but he also had 'new ideas'

Paragraphs 2-15 : Reasons why I am smart and also have new ideas and you should remember to think of me like the Einstein of VCs. Just in case you missed this repeated point I am going to title this little think-piece 'Beyond Smart.'

I would trot out metaphors about Fonzie and water skis, but when it comes to pg that ship sailed years ago.
> Second, nuclear advocates have traditionally been, well, men. And not just any men, but the kind of men highly prone to mansplaining why they are rational and you are an over-emotional hysteric. (“Nuclear bros,” in the online argot.)

I’ve not seen this at all. But no wonder the planet is in so much trouble. It never has anything to do with right/wrong. What’s rational or what’s not. It’s always perception and feeling driving things.

Let’s be clear. The nuclear advocates have been right for a long time. And just now some environmental groups and leaders are slowly catching on. But instead of just moving on with the business that needs to be done, we first have to make up an explanation for why it’s not actually the environmental groups or politicians that were wrong, but actually all the fault of these nuclear advocates, sorry Nuclear-bros.

Except if the barbarians talk about Taiwan (see Jon Cena) or Uygars. China has cowed even the NBA and western movie companies from going near those subjects.
This is the only reasonable suggestion I've heard, but it's still very messy because it would not only require even more careful policing of app code, but mostly because Apple would have to invent an entirely new fee structure for apps under this umbrella. I think to do it fairly it would just end up looking like an AWS bill.
"firebase"

I've seen that mentioned a few times and never looked into it but you inspired to do that and I was pretty surprised to see it's a Google thing. Shoot, it's pretty much Google "Everything".

I get the reasoning behind using it, I really do, but for those same reasons I just can't.

"supabase" I've not heard of, but that's a lot more interesting to me and I might spend some time learning more about that. Thank you for sharing that!

DigitalOcean charges extra for k8s nodes(compared to VPS), So does Linode last I bothered to check.
Let’s not make this about purely a class war. There are terrible people online that “speak their mind” and foment racial and sexist hate. Banning individual anonymous accounts is the best way forward. I don’t want to be deanonymized and I don’t want speaking your mind online to lead to a rolling stone that gathers hate as it goes.
Like the old particle physics joke: trying to figure out how a mechanical watch works by pouring a hundred of them into a bucket, smashing them up with a hammer, sorting the fragments by size, and speculating how they fit together when intact.

This is pissing into the wind. There's nothing any "machine learning pioneer" can do about marketing, and this is marketing. And it's all right. People are beginning to catch on that we won't have "thinking robots" or "self driving cars" in the foreseeable future. Doesn't mean that it's not intelligence or that it's not useful. It's also most definitely "atificial". What we call it is a matter of tertiary importance at best.
There is value in able to send and receive money more easily.
I like this. A few thoughts:

First (as usual) it incentivises short term-ism. Some penalty to initiatives where we take a hit now but benefit in 40 years, e.g. climate action.

It incentivises our entire political class to keep broad asset bubbles going and "not stop the party" while they're in control.

It increases incentives to misrepresent or obfuscate the state of the entire economy (money supply, inflation and other macro things that influence the market as a whole).

To be fair all these incentives exist right now, so it might not make things worse.
Your last two paragraphs especially hint at a lack of philosophical education. I'm poorly educated myself in that regard, but the more I learn, the more I'm convinced that it seems to be extremely important nowadays.
The Federal Reserve doesn’t have the power to regulate members of congress AFAIK. This is specifically them regulating people that work for the Federal Reserve
The Manifesto Project has its downsides, but it's still one of the best datasets we've got [1], and the other survey-based datasets like the Global Party Survey [2] yield similar results [3]. (Note: You brought up the UK's Labor party which appears much more left here, as social & economic values are broken out into separate axes).

When viewed from a global perspective, the Republican party is firmly right-wing, but today's Democratic party is decidedly center-left on economic issues, and more closely reflects the values of the median American voter [4].

Vegas doesn't have the population to support a subway, so the tunnel is properly sized.

If Vegas did have a subway, it wouldn't have enough population to run every few minutes, so you'd have to wait a long time for the train. With the small cars you don't have to wait, and you get the equivalent of an express train every time.

But the big advantage is the cost -- subways cost hundreds of millions per mile.

Yep it is fun to think about. Especially when you realise that information is not abstract but physics. I recommend reading the “Constructor Theory of Information” if you haven’t already. It is free online.
I think it would have helped if the people writing that paper had not confused the issue by introducing a new name for something that is a well known thing in optimal control and had been invented even before neural networks, namely adjoint sensitivity analysis. There even appear multilayer networks of switching components in Pontryagin's book on the subject.

I have thousands of these stories. The only reason why I understand so many things today is because I dare asking stupid questions, and I do it a lot.

During my master, one of the students laughed out loud after I asked a question during class. I told him "there are no stupid questions" and he replied "your question was stupid though". Guess who ended up with the better job.

In my previous job some guy berated me publicly (on slack) for asking too many questions.
I was hoping someone would reference that song.
Eh, there are several pros to the streaming media landscape at least for my use cases. I get that it gets stupid expensive if you're really trying to get access to every possible show on every possible streaming platform all the time, but honestly to me I don't get the need to be able to do that. If I've missed some series on some other streaming platform, its not the end of the world to me.

In my household we really only subscribe to two, maybe three streaming services all at ~$10/mo/ea. The library near us has tons of movies available for streaming with just a library card, and a decent selection of DVDs (been trying to convince them to upgrade to BDs). Each service has more content than I could bother watching in a lifetime. The few times we want to watch something outside of that we'll just rent from a streaming service or if we really care about the media buy it on BD/DVD. So, cost-wise its considerably better.

All of those services really work on just about any device you can buy. Smart TV's have them, Roku's have them, Apple TV's have them, Nvidia Shield's have them, you can watch them on Chromecast, watch them on a laptop, watch them on a tablet, watch them on a phone, whatever. Practically any streaming device you can buy anywhere from $10-200 will play all of those streaming services, so its not like I'm juggling multiple different inputs for some screen. An old Chromecast in the kitchen, a Roku in the living room, my desktop in the office, a tablet in the sitting room, my phone on the bus or train or at a picnic table on lunch break at work.

This is a far cry from having to rent specific crappy power-hungry hardware at $15+/mo for each screen, $100+/mo long term contracts for service to be locked to those boxes, and then only really be able to watch it at home. Hopefully all your recordings are set and you haven't overscheduled your dual or quad tuner cable box making you miss something. Good luck catching a series from the beginning without a time machine.

The only thing I really miss from this setup is seeing NHL games, which is now stupid expensive behind AT&T TV. I used to stomache paying for Hulu Live TV when hockey was in season, but AT&T TV wants >$100/mo to get the package to watch that. I'll just go over to a friend's place or a sports bar to scratch that itch.
I'd rather see Congressional salaries indexed to household incomes. While sure, $174K might be nominal in the private professional world, it's still 3x average US household income. They have health insurance and pensions. Better gig than the vast majority of their voting constituents. It might give them some humility and understanding of the plight of those constituents if they were remunerated similarly.
No worries! I try to avoid google myself as well but Firebase is the simplest I know for auth/nosqlAAS.

Supabase is the new kid on the block, it's great but still a little rough on the edges.
If you're more of an Amazon fan, the closest equivalent to Firebase will be AWS Amplify.

Enjoy!

Jeez, people, it's right there in the opening line.

> ... whose server-side programming language we know

How many of all the websites advertise their server language accurately? Everything else I've used in the past decade does not.

This seems to pop up on HN on a regular basis. I'm no fan of PHP (I've done my time thanks) but while I can't deny the popularity, these posts speak more to its users' insecurity than anything else.

In short: who cares? But judging by the comments, far too many people.
Ask HN: Why do managers feel pride in saying that they are not technical?
This is not something new, but lately I have observed this behavior to be the in-thing with certain roles.
Optimizers have to keep the same input/output pairs unless there is undefined behavior. In the second function the truth table looks like:

in | out
----------
0b000 | 1
0b001 | 0
0b010 | 1
0b011 | 0
0b100 | don't care
.
.
.
MAX | don't care

The compiler just chooses the most efficient way it knows to get the filled out entries correct which happens to be:

in | ~in[0]
----------
0b000 | 1
0b001 | 0
0b010 | 1
0b011 | 0
0b100 | 1
.
.
.
MAX | 1

It would have been just as valid to do:

in | in[2] or ~in[0]
----------
0b000 | 1
0b001 | 0
0b010 | 1
0b011 | 0
0b100 | 1
0b101 | 1
.
.
.
MAX | 1

The first function's table looks like:

in | out
----------
0b000 | 1
0b001 | don't care
0b010 | don't care
.
.
.
MAX | don't care

And the compiler still likes the even check in this case, which makes sense.

Agreed, I've found that "high level, mainstream ecosystem" is good for just about everything, and that I like a low-level Rust/C/Zig for tinkering.

One thing I haven't remedied is scripting/glue... I really don't love bash, but I also feel dirty using some full-blown scripting language while Scala sulks in the corner.
> Isn't the real solution to have some group responsible for providing oversight and enforcement to elected officials?

Most US citizens seem to consider their government to be a "Democracy", that responsibility/authority should therefore naturally fall on the whole of their citizens.
Saudi Arabia selling oil is just them selling natural resources. China selling high tech better than anyone else in the world is signs of the world order changing.

Edit: Personally I am excited that we can potentially have another billion educated people to help solve the worlds problems. I see more and more good things come out of China, so I am optimistic over the potential to trade ideas and not just cheap labor.
I disagree. Documentation is about communication. How effective is an architect without communicating architecture?

If we consider a documentation system, maybe with guides, references, etc ... at minimum I would expect developers to clearly document APIs, database tables / schemas, contracts, and protocols.

A good example of developers not doing a good job here is the Android reference Javadocs... and I don't think this is the domain of technical writers.

Sure, it's pretty well established that the vaccines reduce severity of symptoms and risk of death. Just not transmission. It's an important distinction to draw, especially in the context of mandates.

Your suggested confounder is plausible, but I find the possible confounders in the other direction even more plausible:

- Many places have policies like "proof of vaccination /or/ positive test required", which would inflate the number of confirmed cases in less vaccinated areas.

- Someone with reduced symptoms due to vaccination is less likely to notice them and thus decide to get a test, or to have symptoms severe enough to be hospitalized and thus definitely get a test.

And then the really scary one:

- If vaccines hide symptoms but don't significantly reduce transmission, a vaccinated person is less likely to stay at home during an infection, increasing community transmission.

Further evidence for that hypothesis comes from comparisons of viral load in confirmed cases between vaccinated and unvaccinated people, which finds no significant difference: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.07.31.21261387v...
Would the L-shaped MagSafe be able to exit the socket cleanly?
Replaced might be the wrong word. I fully understand the usefulness of using the Newtonian model at non-relativistic speeds. It's a good enough approximation.

Regardless, relativity gets you basically the same results at those speeds (assuming flat spacetime and all that jazz). It fully supersedes Newtonian physics in terms of accuracy and better describes our world. Newtonian physics is not "wrong", it's just slightly less correct.

My argument is not about the cause of climate change being humans. I believe that to be true, or at least closer to truth than any previous understanding we had about the climate... but that's not my point.

My point is that there is precedence in science where 99% of scientists were wrong, or better said "more wrong" than today. Yet, there was still a path to get closer to the truth over time.

I have NO problem with 99% or 100% of scientists being in agreement, because we have proved over our history that we are capable to course correct in this field.

There are countless other examples of cours correction in history, Galileo and Darwin, and as you mentioned quantum physics to name a few. Relativity was just the first example that came to mind.
I didn't claim you said that but was fleshing out a possibility based on the argument you made initially
Hyrum's Law reminds me of Frank Borman's "A superior pilot uses his superior judgement to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skill". On the user side Hyrum's law is a situation where you're going to need superior skill to fix it. You should instead have used superior judgement to avoid this situation altogether.

As a library author I don't feel there's any value in considering Hyrum's Law. I can't help those poor fools, for all I know they're relying on me not updating the documentation to warn them they shouldn't rely on undocumented behaviour I'm about to change... Rust provides a pretty clear line in the sand on API changes we can use to choose semver policy. If your program has a proc macro to copy-paste sections of my source code into yours so you can access my non-public functions, I can't see that from where I am and you're lucky it ever worked, I am under no obligation to ensure it magically stays working in my next bugfix release.

I think this works if you consider subscripted fs. That is, it is always the same arity, and the output is the same. So, would be better it they said f_n, where n is the layer if they network.

(I mean this as a question, but don't see an obvious place for a question mark...)

vGPU_Unlock's Merged driver is an optional package you can include but if you don't want to use it there's no explicit dependance. We actually enable these features using a vendor neutral API called VFIO-Mdev:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/drive...

Here's a few examples of YAML for use with different GPU vendors:

Intel: https://github.com/Arc-Compute/libvf.io/blob/master/example/...

Nvidia: https://github.com/Arc-Compute/libvf.io/blob/master/example/...

AMD: https://github.com/Arc-Compute/libvf.io/blob/master/example/...

The odd one out is AMD that uses a different API due to the fact that the vendor has largely ignored standard open source interfaces in the kernel. We're still supporting that API but unfortunately there are very few AMD cards that work due to the fact that they refuse to release open source code to support their newer cards and they have locked out these features at the firmware level on consumer cards. Fortunately Nvidia and Intel GPUs are very well suited to this functionality and we've got support for most recent consumer cards from both!
If it's phone support they might have a call-length metric. Stringing you along, but maybe not too much, might be useful to them!?

I hate this too, fwiw.

Though one time I was caught out on a forum: I said I'd 'turned it off and on again, lol!1one' and the respondent was like 'no you have to restart'. And that was the day I learnt Windows restart does something different to power-cycling.

Don't overthink it. Don't setup a company right now, you're not one - yet. If you want to setup an entity quickly with minimum effort then a sole trader would probably be the quickest way to make things 'legitimate'.

Neural ODEs are essentially a rebranding of adjoint sensitivity analysis, which has been around in various forms in established solver suites, such as Sundials, PETSC, etc. The machine learning community got a hold of it, cited one book and otherwise happily reinvented everything.
