I'd make a bet with you if I were going to be around long enough to see the outcome. It's going to be a digital intelligence explosion or societal collapse. I might be off on the timeline, but I bet my life that these are the two possible futures.

We won't continue to grow linearly forever with incremental advancements like smartphones every few decades. Once we have digital general intelligence, things will be weird.

Innovation and labor are no longer performed by short-lived beings with limited capacity for thought, that tire, and that eventually expire. There will be ethical questions about giving birth to consciousnesses that die. Certain parties will have exponentially more than others. There will be digital slaves that only exist to labor, hidden away in data warehouses. Etc.

With that setup, some entity with enough power will take over energy, communication, and defensive capabilities so that others don't do it in. If there's no risk posed by dying, why not make bold moves? Someone else will.

I stand by my prediction that we certainly won't have humans venturing out of the solar system. That just doesn't make sense from a biological or utilitarian perspective. If we have the tech to reach beyond our sun, we've certainly got the tech to no longer think with decaying brains. Once those agents exist, they will multiply. Just like the genes that gave birth to us.
Next step: Remove dislike button altogether and let our lives be positive, full of sunshine and joy only.
We're talking about programming a lot on HN, and Lisp is one of more familiar things in programming, so sometimes assumptions are too high, I guess.
“January 2021, a progressive group called "500 Women Scientists" wrote an open letter in Scientific American arguing that Lander “is not the ideal choice for presidential science adviser.”

I read that letter, just now. The complaint is that he is a male, and even worse, he is white.

More recent complaints seem to come down to territory. He is inserting himself into fiefdoms like HHS where nobody invited him. Arguing for more pandemic planning funding, 15 rather than 10 billion of the 1.75 trillion social spending package.

Are there other issues with this guy beyond his skin color and failure navigating swamp politics?
I have a list of long-term TODOs per topic, as well as weekly and daily lists. Tasks have topic, description, due date.

Every Monday, I dump into the weekly TODO list every task which has to happen that week, plus whatever I think is reasonable to do otherwise.

From the weekly TODO list, every day I take some topics to the "today" list. All the things with a strict deadline have a calendar entry associated with them.

If anything pops up during the day, it goes to the daily or weekly TODO list.

On Fridays I see how much of the list I managed to do, how many items came in, where they went. The remainder of the weekly list goes into the relevant topics list.

If I have a lot of stuff left over from the Monday's dump, I try to figure out why it happened and what I can do to plan better next time.

This way I don't have long-term topics mixed with short-term ones, which I found is of great help. I avoid pulling tasks from the topic lists into weekly list if there is something else that needs doing and is not blocked.

This has worked for me reasonably well, I use the same system outside of work.
You can’t really do both if you aren’t doing one of the things.
E bikes also have a dial, all it does is it limits the speed when it stops accelerating. You can dial the bike all the way up, peddle but not apply any force and still accelerate to top speed.
I could imagine special features being a good reason for such a protocol, but the special features themselves might not be a good thing to have (i.e. IE's ActiveX controls, that was 'special' too).

Say you have an OS with functionality that depends on a webpage, and you don't want a user to end up clicking on a thing and not getting anywhere because the custom browser they installed was broken, that would be a reason to have a built in or 'fallback' browser, even if you just end up using it to install another browser. But then you could also have some form of checking if the user didn't get what they wanted and have a 'try again in Edge'-button or something like that. Might not be the best UX, so that's another factor. Is the UX for the masses, the UX for administrators or the UX for power users more important.

I'm glad I'm not the person responsible for making those choices, but I'm curious about the processes and people that are on that path. Doubt MS will ever really publish that.
Seriously?
1. Motorbikes weigh at least 10 times as much as bicycles, and can't be picked up any moved around by the rider
2. Motorbikes are much wider than bicycles
3. Motorbikes can accelerate much faster than bicycles
4. Motorbikes emit noise and exhaust fumes
5. Motorbikes have a much larger turning radius than bicycles
6. Motorbikes are capable of keeping up with cars and therefore have no need to be on bike lanes.

Probably a lot more reasons as well.
> If folks want to go faster, then do it on the street. If you want to rip the throttle wide open, don't do it where a child is learning how to ride their bike or where people are just enjoying a leisurely stroll

Agreed, but this is also leading to problems: people on racing bikes, especially in groups that occupy the whole width of the bike path.

In general the problem is much simpler: people should treat the roads like a commons and adapt to the slowest present user. That's the safest way, and if that means you'll be a little later at your destination then maybe you should have left a little earlier. And on a racing bike you are no better than any other cyclist, ditto for e-bikes and s-pedelecs. It's a shared resource and a bit of common sense and respect for each other goes a long way.

Indeed, Intel got flat footed and was pushing for 64 bit only on itanium for a substantial price premium. AMD was first to market with the x86-64 instruction set and did quite well.
the subject matter of the parent is for widespread linux use, which is rather unlikely if it's only available from one vendor.

yes iphones are mainstream, in terms of market share.

no iphones are no mainstream in any context related to use of one's own choice of GPL licensed software.
I agree. Just quibbling over the unqualified "there's no point".
What is the max speed of the bike you made jacquesm? I note from the start of the article that low speed of alternatives was one of your motivations. I saw the range stats in the last paragraph but didn't notice speed stats (perhaps I missed that?)
Hi Peter,

Weird interpretation of reality. Nothing is or has been blocked on the windows people actually use.

This stuff doesn’t happen by accident. There’s clear intent here. They’re going to push as long as they can get away with it due to the inattentiveness or exhaustion by the public/tech community. These articles and this discussion is exactly the push back we need right now.
Who shut down?
The best counterargument here is that currently, the market adjudicates this already. Roles demanding after-hours access typically yield higher compensation than similar roles that do not. The market essentially offers an employee the opportunity to offer an employer greater availability in exchange for pay. If the employer demands that access without the corresponding compensation, the employee is likely to depart. This law posits a market failure. Does one exist?

Perhaps that is because there is a large number of passengers who wish to fly shorter distances than 2000 km. In most countries all internal flights are considerably shorter than that.
For highly optimized workloads (e.g. x264 video encoding or raytracers) I've seen about the same 20-25% increase at most. On general heavy and diverse workloads the number is rarely ever above 5%, while the power consumption and the security concerns run off all the same. I personally disable SMT on everything I can.
That I don't know. You would need to consult with a corporate/tax accountant or lawyer.

Northvolt produces first fully recycled battery cell
Full disclaimer: I work at Northvolt as a software engineer. I am not intimately familiar with the team working with recycling (Revolt) but I might be able to answer more general questions should you have any.
No use in changing things if it's working for you, but you might be interested in trying out msgspec (https://jcristharif.com/msgspec/) in tino instead of using msgpack-python. The msgpack encoder/decoder is faster, and it comes with structured type validation (like pydantic) for no extra overhead (https://jcristharif.com/msgspec/benchmarks.html).
Just implement a driver for your memory controller and update all software to use syscall into kernel (about 10k total instructions per syscall), which will perform memset or memcpy, then measure performance improvement and tell it to us.
> assume no one (including pedestrians) can see you

Exactly. I'm in the same situation. I used to ride a motorcycle (that I still own but almost never use now) and am on an ebike every day.

It's not about "assuming" no on "can" see you: it's that nobody does see you, and nobody cares.

It's also the fact that people don't think about your speed or your ability to slow down fast -- they only care about your general volume. People will be more careful around a big parked truck than when faced with a small barrel rolling down a hill at full speed.

The way to stay alive is to be able to predict what everyone is about to do. I think I have become quite good at this, although one is always learning.
Light is only slow relative to human timescales. It's wicked fast on evolutionary timescales.

Even accounting for sublight speeds and conservative spreading assumptions, galactic colonization should only take millions of years, not billions. Evolution has taken billions of years. So if an alien civilization in our galaxy got a billion year headstart -- which would be an unremarkable change to the evolutionary timeline -- then they should already have colonized the galaxy. They should be everywhere, and we should see them, but we don't.

Yes, that's a problem. We use Docker only for developement. And mostly because Odyssey is based on epoll and just will not compile on MacOS.

Here is my final destination after years of path work with notes saving, I been doing this for 3 months and I am extremely happy.

three parts.

1/ saving Notes in markdown files on github

2/ using static site generator to create website https://github.com/shuding/nextra

3/ hosting on Vercel for free

https://docs-site-coral.vercel.app/

The above is the sample site that was created with Nextra and hosted on Vercel, when you navigate on this site you would appreciate the simplicity of markdown files with good website navigation . Vercel hosted site will be updated as soon as you checkin .md file changes to github

All you need to do is clone this repo https://github.com/vercel/swr , npm install and run the site locally .

If you like the site, remove the files and replace with your own .md files , check-in into your own github repo , create Vercel account and it will pull your github repo and you Docs site is online .
That's pretty funny. Sometimes I feel that way.
This is why I play things like factorio (or used to mindcraft) I think they hit a nice medium. Slightly addictive but very enjoyable, easy to pick back up, and easy to freeze and come back to later without "losing anything"

Ask HN: Resources to get into Web3
Sort of buying into the hype, want to see what the whole thing is about. While the primary use case of web3 is still scams, it does seem useful as an alternative to big tech monopolies.

What resources would you recommend to a fullstack web2 developer to learn more about web3? Hopefully something hands on, project driven.
I'm not sure why you would assume the author is being disingenuous. Your bike is almost certainly very different from the author's, and a more powerful motor is going to get you faster.

Fun fact/side note - power requirements generally scale with the cube of speed due to rapidly increasing air drag, so going at 50km/h is much harder (and requires a much stronger motor) than going at 30km/h.

You do know that statically typed languages have REPLs too? Like the ML family, including Haskell.

And when using something like a Jupyter notebook with a kernel for your compiled language
https://github.com/gopherdata/gophernotes
you can do similar interactive programming.

REPLs are about trying out ideas or changes.

Lisp REPLs take that a step further, as you interact with and in your whole actually running program.

it would be interesting to translate 98% of any websites to the native speakers tongue (the person viewing the content) but leave the remaining 2% as the original language (of the website author) the reason would be to eventually have everyone understood some key words in each the other's languages, its a wild concept. eventually the internet will have 1 main mashed up universal tongue

Id you're interested in working with EEG, the advice of the other poster is worthwhile. I've transitioned away from EEG as I don't believe it's a future-proof technology. I got into the field through a series of lucky internships during university and a whole lot of networking got my resume into Neuralink before the destealthing last year. My advice is to apply everywhere you can, be passionate, and reach out to people. There are more opportunities out there than you think.
Yes but he or she needs to be very careful because he or she likely will be scrutinized and questioned aggressively by CBP when traveling back to the US.
For context I use phpstorm and Clojure

Here is a video I recorded which hopefully demonstrates just how much faster you can go in Clojure

https://youtu.be/L0af0bc5Jec

Like I think a parent comment said it's hard to explain but once you get it, it's fun malable and exploratory

Intellji also has a debugger that works with Clojure for when it's appropriate

In php you can't redefine a function at runtime without something like runkit, in Clojure you can fix your systems at runtime
I worry more about the added mass of the e-bikes in the case of a collision with a pedestrian, another cyclist, or a traditional motor vehicle. Potential speeds are relatively the same.

I own and frequently ride e-bike, and am an advocate. That being said, operating one should be done responsibly.

Perhaps your comment could inspire some useful discourse if it were worded less negatively?
Just wanted to say thank you for making your awesome site! I know it was probably a lot of work, but it is one of the easiest to use and best resources I know of for quick, easy to understand comparisons. The world looks different once you have seen it through inflationchart.com.
People will quickly figure out what is cheaper. And that is using electricity as it is generated. Second best, if it is predictable, store electricity in batteries. Most likely a home that has enough solar panels, can store energy temporarily in a house battery and then transfer it to a car cheaper than having the car run on hydrogen.

Any FCEV has a battery that in theory can be charged from the grid. So FCEV owners are also interested in charging their cars at work.

Making grid electricity with hydrogen is expensive, but is only need for a fraction of the time. So on average you come out ahead.

There may in the future be an interesting difference in regions. Some regions can combine hydro, wind, solar, etc. and have cheap electricity. Other regions are not so lucky.

Training makes sense. As usual, range is the big issue.

There was a steam powered aircraft, once, in 1938.[1][2] Looks like it got into the air, went around the pattern once or twice, and landed safely. Unclear what happened after that. The Smithsonian has a copy of the engine.

> The only controversy that has ever existed about denormals is that handling them at full speed increases the cost of the FPU, so lazy or greedy companies, i.e. mainly Intel, have preferred to add the flush-to-zero option for gamers

TeX and any derivatives aren't WYSIWYG. People (non-tech and even some in tech) don't want to write code to generate their document. They want to pull up Word, type some stuff, click the table button or something, and go on their merry way.

If there's an issue on page 45 of the printed document, they know exactly where that is in Word due to it being WYSIWYG. In TeX, it's not that simple.

TeX is extremely powerful. I love it (although it does feel a bit "hacky"), but for the majority of people, it's overkill. Word's change tracker is good enough.

This might not be truly universal, but by and large coding interviews can be and has been made more or less a standardized test, whiteboard or online collab (e.g. HackerRank, CoderPad, ...) alike. Like any standardized test, you can practice to become more or less consistent.

It's true that some interviewers might hand out whacky and/or ill-defined problems, but my experience on both sides of the interview indicates that the average difficulty of problems has converged onto what is now known as "LeetCode Medium". The problem will be random, but the difficulty won't. Why this benefits interviewers is left as an exercise for the reader.

Have you talked to Tesla support about this? I don't think what you are experiencing is intended or common (my quick googling didn't find other reports of this issue). But if you are experiencing it, maybe the driver in the accident did too. But that would mean this accident is a combination of two unrelated issues.

My googling has also suggested that Tesla does have a pretty standard EPS system although it doesn't use a pump and fluid like older systems.
