I made a comment here on hacker news that there were repeated code inserts in the gene sequence that meant it may have come from a lab and everyone criticised me angrily.

I’ll dig out the comment
Intel Alder Lake Mobility CPU Benchmarks Faster Than the Apple M1 Max
I belive OpenTelemetry will make distributed tracing mainstream. Traces are the best tool to debug problems, yet as their are expensive (both in dev work and license) to implement they are way less popular than logs.

Historicaly APM (application performance monitoring) also owned collection, vendor locked-in and didn’t evolve price per value.

Open-source collection standard allows users to choose or switch to the best vendor.

Personally, I recommend Sumo Logic (disclaimer: I work there). We have rich full-text query capabilities on spans with parsing and aggreagations on query time…
Most of these billionaires are founders of companies that were worth many billions of dollars before they ever turned a profit. There is no option just to pay out the cash to cover the gains tax.
Right, selective breeding is just a subset of natural selection. Not sure why folks seem to want to exclude humans from nature, like we’re not part of the exact same system.

Apple typically supports the prior architecture via emulation for at least 5 years after they cease sales of that architecture.
If you're collecting data from software running on someone's device, that's someone else's user data. I think the term of art is metadata.

In some ways, such information is just as important as biometrics and passwords and pii.

Deanonymizing becomes possible when metadata is cross-referenced. Metadata should be subject to as strict protection and consent rules as documents, health info, or any other "obvious" private data.

If it's running on your server and not logging third party activity or metadata, the information belongs to you. Else, you need the third party's consent, etc.

"It's just for benign development purposes" doesn't cut it anymore regardless of intentions. We need a cultural and legal area change with regards to privacy and primacy of private data protections.
NIST was the one that proposed closing the WWVs as a means of getting attention (and their full ask) during the 2019 budget negotiations. The good ol "Washington Monument" strategy.
agreed its been getting worse. appreciate your work though.
With more recent techniques, a much higher bitrate could be sustained. I think it would be possible to supply a ~100 kbit/s broadcast channel on longwave that could be received in most of North America reliably, with a simple IC receiver.

I'm not exactly sure what you'd use that for, admittedly.
I assume, in 100 years from now Taiwan will be Chinese. China is in no rush. They will just wait for the right opportunity and then seize it.

I see arguments like this a lot but they always seem to me to be begging the question.

What is understanding? Are we sure human understanding is not just patterns and combinations of patterns in our huge volumes of experience?
Opportunities for young people have been getting worse perhaps?
"Poor experiences" are not an excuse for bigotry against a group of people based on a combination of their race, sexuality, and gender.

It's amazing to me how people will bend their principles because they admire someone.
When Apple's focus was on education, the philosophy followed that. Welcoming newcomers who Think Different. Consistent UI design. Good documentation for developers and users. Building an ecosystem. Optimising for connectedness. Community-centered.

In the past decade, Apple's focus is self-centered: optimising for profit. That has come at the cost of community. Will the new hardware solve that? It's a welcome improvement! I use a laptop for data storage, and am worried about being unable to quickly swap my SSD over to a spare laptop (restoring 8TB will take a long time). I'm very pleased about the return of MagSafe, though, and battery replacement. Will Apple's software improve? Will Apple listen to developers? Or will the Linux community act first to welcome more newcomers? We're going to find out this decade, and I'm excited to see what changes it brings.
> These super large companies tend to become over dominant in their markets and and start engaging in anti-competetive behaviours.

The Amish are typically eligible for a lot of welfare programs, due to their low income. However, they also reject Government support as part of their ethos.

Whilst the Amish are reliant on the rest of society's laws and defenses, there are other ethnocultural groups within the USA that are reliant on the rest of society for their housing and food supply. That's a lot further down the hierarchy of needs.
There’s a difference between it being leaked from a lab and it being created in a lab.
First, a website losing safe harbor protection for some guy's link to pirated content because they use a "we'll show you this post because you previously clicked like on something else" system is bad policy, and we must reject it.

Second, all the things that the mob wants to hold Facebook accountable for ("genocide", "election interference", "disinformation" and others) are perfectly legal content for any newspaper or publisher to disseminate, so I'm not sure what the desired course of action is here.

Latency kills it but it's mainly design decisions (made with local networking in mind, not internet) that can be improved upon. NX has shown that and that's only a fix on top of the old protocol.

I'd love to see a new design with network transparency in the current internet age on the foreground.

I remember working in a room with 20 big-screened X terminals connected to one server over one shared 10 Mbit 10Base-T. And it worked amazingly well.

My first tech job paid 30k/yr 10 years ago. Present tech incomes are not necessarily indicative of future earnings potential.

Agreed that with 1 million in the bank destitution is not a real risk, but childcare can run 30-70k/yr. Being forced by circumstances to uproot is far from ideal.

1 million in the bank with drawdowns also runs a severe risk of being hit by a crash sometime in the next 30-70 years one might draw from it.
Fair. Agree completely. But you do still have a wild mix of ambitions, commitments and incentives even among the wealthy/influential that frequently put them at odds with each other. Eg- Omidyar is backing the leaker vs. Zuckerberg -- billionaire contra billionaire.

And there's definitely a class of super wealthy who are "class traitors" in the sense that they advocate against super wealth. (You could certainly doubt and debate whether they just support those messages or whether they also support good faith action to that end).
How much do you pay ? Because Syncfusion or Sencha have well funded well working stuff.
I used to be of mindset where I used to think why did people take months or years for something which I thought would have considerably less time. Until I started building my own product. Building something with insights, care, robustness and building something right is function of time and money. Therefore as an indie dev, take your time to build it. Rushing a solution and doing a half ass job often backfires when you reveal it to the world.
location => zip code. Twin studies are not what you look at to prove (or disprove) this hypothesis. You have a much richer data set. All the kids that grew up in a zip code. A lot of twin studies have no control groups! With a richer data set, you can more easily look at the zip code someone grew up in and look at where they end up in life. You don't have to track them. Also, the reason why I insist on focusing on zip code is that peer groups matter much more than family environment.

Below, I've linked some of the articles I have read on this in the past.

Here is a book pointing out various issues with twin studies: https://dl.uswr.ac.ir/bitstream/Hannan/139363/1/978113881306...

I think that if we fixed the costs of healthcare in this country we could set reasonable limits (i.e. $10M lifetime maximum or something as you said - perhaps it could be a sliding scale with age even though that's taboo to talk about). If you run beyond that - it's unfortunate, but the medical system will not help you anymore - you can go to hospice and pass on your own terms (if it comes to that). It will be a painful tradeoff, for sure - but the keeping people alive at any cost mentality also has externalities. We're all going to die someday in the end.

The main thing is to make healthcare more affordable and have reasonable limits (i.e. $10M) to ensure people are not bankrupted by it.
In a way it is impressive codepilot knew how to separate the query string while still being correct. However this is a fairly naive way to build a url that I wouldn't encourage committing. If I saw this in code in a review I would recommend using a dict and `urlencode` or one of the various other URL builders available (either in the stdlib or through another library like `yarl`/etc.).

That's ridiculous. Tesla's market value gain since it went public is around $1T. The aggregate profits since then are at most a couple billion and may even be a loss. Paying out a salary to cover the gains is impossible.
Livestreaming Platform for Developers (Waitlist)
Damn it really is the return of the Titanium Powerbook G4, what?
Hey guys,

I'm thinking of launching a livestreaming app for developers. I've noticed that most programmers stream on Twitch but it doesn't give the best experience for the programming content (things like GitHub integrations, topic search - cloud, AI, blockchain, etc). I wanted to see if there was any interest in an app like this so I started a waitlist.

If you're interested, could you fill out the Google Form with any feedback & interest & I can put you on the waitlist? I've already got an MVP & this would help greatly!

Here is the waitlist form: https://forms.gle/FHnQBs7K2MdMpzMz7

This is simply nonsense.

All companies once they reach a certain size (including Tesla, SpaceX) have a Senior Leadership Team which decides on the critical decisions affecting the company.

This personality obsession is really only perpetuated by people who haven't worked in business and don't realise just how much of a team effort it is.

Big businesses are the engines the drive the economy. Small businesses are the future big businesses.

A healthy economy needs both.

After Japan was burned to the ground in WW2, the US sent in academics to structure the economic recovery. They thought big business was bad, and only allowed small companies to operate. The economy flatlined.

Finally, they allowed big business to resume operations. The economy went straight up until 1990 or so when it became moribund for other reasons.

Apple seems to be taking a more repair-friendly approach for high-end products recently (except the iPhone and iPad).

AirPods Max are also great:
- User-replaceable earcups with no tools needed;
- User-replaceable headband, just needs a paperclip;
- Somewhat user-replaceable battery - you can have them do it for $79 out of warranty, but a repair shop can definitely do it as well because it's just screws.
That is stack up dependant - we work the board house on that, depending on geometery and material. Once they give us a ballpark, we will adjust our widths and clearances to something reasonable, recognizing that fab will adjust the traces and arcs to whatever spec we subsequently need.
The proportion of patients observed in a COVID-19 emergency setting for more than 6 h or transferred to a teritary hospital due to COVID-19 was lower for the fluvoxamine group compared with placebo (79 [11%] of 741 vs 119 [16%] of 756);

Interpretation
Treatment with fluvoxamine (100 mg twice daily for 10 days) among high-risk outpatients with early diagnosed COVID-19 reduced the need for hospitalisation defined as retention in a COVID-19 emergency setting or transfer to a tertiary hospital.

Not bad, not a magic bullet, but reducing hospitalization rates from 16% to 11% is a win.
Blockchain Development Platform QuickNode Raises $35M
The very intention to fix outweight no action even if it "could" make it much worse. Fixing never is a one-time guaranteed solution. It is iterative and evolutive process. So do it now then doing endless complains that leads into Internet archive like a stir in a teacup.

What you need is Open UI. The browser vendors are working on it.

> The purpose of Open UI to the web platform is to allow web developers to style and extend built-in web UI controls, such as <select> dropdowns, checkboxes, radio buttons, and date/color pickers.

> To do that, we'll need to fully specify the component parts, states, and behaviors of the built-in controls, as well as necessary accessibility requirements, and provide test suites to ensure compatibility. We'll also implement polyfills for our extensible web UI controls.

More fluff from Intel - over promise and cancel after 2 years with nothing to show for that investment. They should focus on rebuilding their core capabilities - manufacturing and design. Let others sell the integrated systems, you focus on improving and innovating the components.

As things currently stand, the flash controller is internal to the M1 SoC. This results in significant cost and power savings, as well as some rather impressive performance.

Using an external SSD format like M.2 means the added monetary and power costs of 1) an external flash controller, 2) the mechanical components to interface with it, and 3) multiple PCIe lanes which can never be fully powered off.

I believe it's actually faster than a hash table for a decently large n, around the order of 50. Obviously this is going to depend quite a lot on how clever your compiler is.

edit: I was off by an order of magnitude, 500 -> 50.

I'm not able to find if any of the free Common Lisps do any kind of CDR coding[1].

I visited muscle shoals a couple of years ago with a bunch of musicians from London, while on a road trip from Chicago to New Orleans. We had booked one of the afternoon tours but ran late, on account of us taking the scenic route rather than the highway, and had to switch to the last tour of the day instead.

Boy am I glad we did, because we ran into Steve Melton who worked as the chief engineer at sound studios for most of those seminal years. I don't remember if he worked on these songs, but boy did he have stories to tell about the studio! He was there on his own little pilgrimage, making a return to sound studios for the first time in however many years. Meeting him was this wonderfully serendipitous moment, and I'm immensely grateful to him for taking the time to chat with us and share his stories. One of my buddies later recorded an interview with the man, for a documentary about our road trip. If anyone's interested I can see if it's online somewhere.

Anyway, muscle shoal sound studio is a wonderful place, with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. There are so many cool stories from that place and it was like I could feel the history of it all, it was really quite inspiring and moving to me.

If you're in the area I highly recommend a visit. The nearby town of Florence had some great food and wonderful people as well.
Shopify will acquire Snap to dominate social commerce, says NYU business prof
World GDP is growing (well in non-pandemic years) at 3% or so a year. If the cost of removing a year's CO2 is 6% of GDP, then the world has the choice of giving up a couple years growth to 100% keep CO2 in the atmosphere from increasing. Or giving up 3 years GDP growth to start decreasing it back to where it was in the pre-industrial era.

The are plenty of ways to deal with CO2 from an engineering perspective. They just have no political support. In America, if a solution costs $1 a month per person, the majority of the public is in favor, if a solution costs $10 a month per person, the majority of the public is opposed.
> Sure, it has better performance if there is not a networking protocol in the middle.

That's not even true. The DRI3 X11 extension uses the exact same buffer swap mechanism like most Wayland compositors. Running locally you get the best of both worlds with X11 already.

> The tool the researchers designed for this proof is called IC3PO, a model checking system that looks through every state a program can enter and determines whether it matches a description of safe behavior. If the protocol is correct, IC3PO produces what’s termed an inductive invariant—a proof by induction that the property holds in all cases. If instead a bug is found in the protocol, it will produce a counter-example and execution trace, showing step by step how the bug manifests.

That's really cool.

I have enough trouble with the face mask that I can appreciate how some people don't really adapt well to it. I can handle the nasal mask, but attempts to use the face have failed every time. They do help with colds, at least, they keep me from being stuffed up at night no matter what happens during the day.
This actually seems like a legit and non-evil use of facial recognition to make it faster to get checked in at the airport.

I disagree with the idea that you need ID to fly in the first place (certainly it has nothing to do with security and is mostly about eliminating a secondary market for tickets), but within the current construct, this is preferable to manual verification and I don't see any additional privacy violation vs what already goes on with air travel.
Let's play a game. Imagine you're s senior dev and interviewing another Dev today. They do well technically, but write comments in their codebase that critique your decisions (such as choice of tool, questions asked, framework used, etc). What's your thoughts on this person?

I'd not say jerk, but I would think they're not taking the process seriously. A technical test certainly isn't a place to make jokes as you don't know how they'll be perceived. Play it safe.

Anyway, your third paragraph ... It reads to me like you're passing blame on others rather than reflecting and acknowledging your choices. For example, " since one of my parents ...". No. _your_ social skills and decisions are yours. Likewise, you blame past narcissists you've worked for for not having good role models? You should know right from wrong, and making such comments during an interview is wrong.
Isn't that because FreeBSD provides an emulation of Linux?
The third is that if you live frugally in a super expensive metro, your absolute savings rate can be much higher than it would be in rural Iowa (well, covid changed that a bit, but most companies still have “COL factors” on your comp). This is truer for single people, who can live a low impact lifestyle in a studio or 1bed apartment, no car, and taking advantage of office amenities than it is for families.
Okay, my bad. I just tried a pre-Meson version of Mesa and you're right. I thought that Mako was some Meson extension...I didn't really look into it much. I was just annoyed when the build broke and Meson printed a message that looked like it was missing a dependency. Then I was doubly annoyed when pip told me Homebrew (or Linuxbrew) would break in the future. It seemed like Meson was a PITA, but that was my first experience with it. I was wrong and I apologize.
I agree, but the new S-Expr based format means it is way easier to manipulate the files, and maybe we can see third party solutions to fill this gap (at least for now).
