Well...certainly true of the original tube computers (ENIAC was famously temperamental), but that module comes from an IBM 700-series, which was a production product. Tube machines from IBM, Burroughs, Univac, Bendix, Ferranti and many others were in no way mere prototypes with hundreds built. The tube based AN/FSQ-7 was for years the basis for the USAF SAGE air defense network.

Tube reliability improved radically over the 15-20 years tube computers were a thing; it had too. And just like you point out about silicon, reasonable thermal management became recognized as important to tube reliability and designs changed accordingly. MTBF was lower than a modern computer, but they certainly ran for days or weeks and more. And debugging was usually fairly quick as you ran some diags that pinpointed the module (not single tube) that failed and replaced the whole thing.

I have an acquaintance with a Bendix G15 that still runs. Admittedly, the G15 is much simpler than an IBM 700, but it's a nearly 65 year old tube machine.
If VPS/cloud costs too much for you, try renting dedicated (bare metal) servers. There are lots of options out there, from tiny RPi-type boards all the way to multi-CPU behemoths. You don't need to bear the upfront cost, you're not on the hook for replacing faulty parts down the road, and the total cost of rental over ~5 years isn't massively different from the cost of buying, colocating, and fixing your own hardware.

I know someone who rents a 3990X monster for less than $1K/mo. Renting comparable compute capacity from any well-known VPS/cloud provider would cost at least 10 times as much. I also know someone who rents a cluster of servers with several large disks, pushing hundreds of TB of outbound transfer, again for less than $1K/mo. The bandwidth alone would cost many times as much on AWS, not to mention the storage. Of course you'd be missing the redundancy of AWS, but whether you really need it for your specific use case is your decision to make. Anyway, the point is that most of the savings are realized in the move from VPS/cloud to bare metal, not in the move from rental to colo.
No worse than the Tour de Meijer I've been on with the Supercharging network lol.

At least Meijer has a small bourbon selection so I can try and find a bottle of Buffalo Trace from time to time.
That's great to hear. I take it as a good sign that other people are thinking about this as well. Would love to hear what you think.
A source of confusion is that memory chips are specified in number of bits capacity, not bytes capacity.
The first DRAM chips where 1-bit oriented; i.e. read and write were 1-bit at a time.
Then you stacked for example 8 chips in parrallel for a byte oriented architechture, etc.
8 16Kb chips for 16KB memory.
> For example, if I sell a broad market ETF like VTI and buy a nearly identical asset at the same price from a different firm, that could be a "wash trade" for tax purposes (simplifying this, but this is basically the gist).

No, you’re describing the wash sale rule, which has to do with which capital losses are tax deductible. It covers pairs of trades up to 30 days apart.

A wash trade is a trade with yourself. Both participants in the same trade — not two distinct trades.

Author here, I'd like to see such a comparison too actually, but I'm not in the position to do the work at the moment. We did some preliminary experiments at the beginning, but a lot changed over the course of the project and I don't know how well elfshaker fares ultimately against all the options out there. Some basic tests against git found that git is quite a bit slower (10s vs 100ms) during 'git add' and git checkout. Maybe that can be fixed with some tuning or finding appropriate options.
> that there is actually no consistent way to decode a H.264 video stream. Don’t ever expect two decoders (especially hardware assisted) to give you identical outputs.

Madness indeed.
It's not, because "bugs you write" includes bugs that don't make it to production. I doubt there's a programmer who's worked in a language without static types who's not familiar with the "write, run, read error, find silly bug, fix silly bug, repeat" development loop. Usually it becomes second nature.
I took a quick look at the comments on this article and I find it fascinating that almost every commenter accepts the study's conclusions at face value. Having been a HN reader for several years, I know how incredibly rare that is! The top voted comment is always something like "Correlation is not causation", "Yeah, but did the authors consider <something obvious the authors probably did consider>?", or something about how the methods does not allow one to draw very far-reaching conclusions.

Even studies about gender or race discrimination always have the same kind of objections. Usually about how the purportedly discriminated against group isn't discriminated against but actually is objectively less competent and thus its worse outcome is "natural". For example, that there are fewer female than male tech entrepreneurs, I have been told, is because women are more risk-averse than men. The reason is absolutely not that investors are biased against female tech entrepreneurs.

However! In this discussion, no one has yet offered the hypothesis that the purported discrimination against men could be explained by men being objectively less suitable to work in female-dominated professions than women. Perhaps men have less "emotional iq" than women or something?

I find it very fascinating how the general take from a supposedly knowledgeable group of people (HN commentators) changes when the topic changes from "women are discriminated against" to "men are discriminated against"!
'Siege overflow' is one of the standard attacks on the security of a fortification system. It often employs ladders while the related 'underflow' attacks use mines. In time, rapidly advancing technology made it feasible to simply overwhelm legacy systems with brute force attacks using gunpowder.
It’s right there in the abstract.
Aggregators don't provide real value to the market they just collect revenue off the backs of the original products.

Wow. That is exactly my experience but I've never been able to articulate it that way. "Constitutionally unable." Thank you.
Two lesser known extensions I always install are:

- "Bookmarks", to persistently mark some lines and easily find them later (there's even an explorer pane with the bookmarks by file). It's must have when navigating a big code base

- "Todo Tree", to list all the TODOs and FIXMEs from the codebase in a panel
Yeah, the ability to generate identities on the fly and interact with the financial system immediately is one thing that would give financial regulators a heart attack.

I wonder if it's actually (free identities) XOR (no wash trading), or if the crypto people will come up with some clever way to account for it or disincentivize it.

One thing I've learned is not to count out very resourceful people with skin in the game. Crypto has come up with some really interesting incentive games that I certainly wouldn't have thought of off the top of my head. That being said, this seems like a really hard thing to fix.
I think you missed my point. I'm saying that holding Tim Cook accountable for this case is like sending the CEO of the Clorox Company to jail because someone put bleach in their girlfriend's drink.

It's a legitimate product with legitimate uses and a lot of competitors. If you punish the CEO of the manufacturer every time someone uses their product in a crime you'll get every Fortune 500 executive in like a week.
My apologies, I was looking for a heading at the end of rhe article, but the sponsors were listed as a part of the article body.

People who interact with mountain biking posts on social media report less depression whilst mountain biking.

The results of this study are people like to do whatever they are into.
I’m familiar with both the original and update. I’ve heard academics blithely agree that math has no objective truths. Perhaps we can agree on this: when talking about math education, rather than the philosophy of math, there is no objectively proper curriculum. Rather, the curricula referenced by EquitableMath and researched by Dr. Gutierrez represent available public school material in the USA. I think it’s an unfortunate choice in EquitableMath to talk about the characteristics of math and the characteristics of math education as inextricably joined. We know that’s not true on a global scale, with or without the path-dependence that led to white supremacy as part of the wider politics around education.

Do we have common ground in saying that the objective of this dialogue is to improve math education so that pupils of any background have the skills to participate in a problem-solving job interview?

> Is this the same one that is in use by Chrome?

Not the same software, but "almost" the same underlying tech is used (e.g. SAPI/Sandbox2 used ptrace for process tracking and debugging, and to my knowledge Chrome Linux sandboxes don't).

> Any plans to create more sandboxes like this for other platforms like Windows and Mac?

Linux is so far a priority, but it might be technically possible to make the actual software isolation layer modularized, so it would support various underlying tech (various OSes, or even different tech under a single OS).
Not OP, but I'm doing the same thing. I spend 95% of my time in IDEA, though. VSC is for Ansible playbooks (because it has a relatively decent extension), and when I need a quick and dirty fix in some other projects (so you don't have to wait five times as long for IDEA to warm up).
Impressive bug hunting skills.

When was this bug introduced? Does anyone maintain a list of when all the known Linux kernel bugs were introduced? I'd love to know how many bugs are added to the kernel each year, and if the rate is changing.

I'm not trying to troll. I think the Linux kernel is an amazing piece of software engineering. I just think this would be an interesting metric.
Despite having worked in technology based jobs for 20 years and been involved with computers for almost 30, it still boggles my mind that we've reached a point where we can:

- connect to publicly available video streams
- over public internet
- run existing computer vision libraries
- to identify real objects correctly

and all for free!

It really is astounding.

Not sure if some of this comes from working in old school FinTech where code is old, monkey patched etc or just my age. I will say that this is the kind of HN that keeps me inspired that tech will just keep getting easier and easier to use which will in turn lead to cooler and cooler projects.
While what I'm about to say is anecdotal, I think most people have experienced this, either themselves, or recounts from friends and family.

Things such as kindergarten, secretary, a lot of jobs where you interact with the public favor female employees over males, such as receptionists. Just to name a few.

>"There was no evidence of discrimination against women in male-dominated professions or in mixed-gender professions, but the researchers did find evidence of discrimination against men in female-dominated professions."

Again, anecdotal, but I've seen discrimination from places like the military, construction work, police work to name a few.

I don't think we needed a study to state the obvious, but I guess it helps creating more conversations about the topic.
It's not just that, though. The markets aren't particularly liquid, and there isn't much rational basis for any particular price, and a lot of the real trades are being performed by irrational day-traders or poorly designed algorithmic traders.

It's all of these elements together that add up to the ridiculous volatility you see in these markets.
Xenon is a very minor trace component of air. It's collected as a byproduct during fractional cryo-distillation of air to make LOX and liquid nitrogen. [1]

Increasing the supply doesn't mean the average quality of care will fall.

If I pay doctors $400,000 a year to work 80 hours a week and then double the number of doctors and pay them $200,000 a year to work 40 hours per week, the quality of care would almost certainly improve but costs would be constant. And actually, do we pay doctors a premium for those overtime hours where they're actually probably less effective? If so, our costs would go down as quality of care improves.
> the option to pay with just money simply is not there.

You seem to be confused about the concept of consent.
> Have you wrangled with JSON using Go? Absolutely dreadful.

Yes. Of course it's dreadful. It's JSON. It's way better in Go than Ruby or Javascript, though.
I would say doctors are the politicians of natural sciences, they only act after the fact.

What you need is someone that tells you what do (or most likely not to do) before you get sick.

Herein lies the very big problem, if you don't get sick doctors have no job!
Based on some of the responses, it feels like most people have not experienced / cannot imagine a small community exerting moral, behavioural, cultural pressure; either because they haven't been part of such a community or because they haven't been pressured due to pre-existing conformity.

Sure, Google/Coca-Cola/BigCorps are hard to change course.

But small communities can be far, far nastier to an outsider / different person and sometimes far more insidious / damaging / harder to influence.

And it can be difficult to see.

My wife has joined a Mommy's group at a neighbouring church; she's gushing how open and welcoming and friendly they all are. Then I asked to consider that a) She happens to be a nominally-christian white middle-class straight anglo-saxon white-collar mother with kids b) How do you think somebody without those characteristics would be welcomed at the church? How many characteristics would have to change for environment to transform? We then read the church's website, attended an actual sermon to see what they heard, and boy oh boy, has her perception of friendly welcoming fellow mommys changed :<. It's all smiles and friendliness until/unless you cross some cultural/instilled/assumed line and norm.
Seems the UK hiring without regard to their performance is illegal, is that the case in the UK?.
How can individualism harm privacy? I mean, what is the alternative? Is that alternative more privacy and less surveillance? I do not think so.

And I talk from the experience of having lived for long in a non-capitalist country.So I do not know what the hell that headline is doing there as if capitalism or individualism was to be blamed of worse privacy. Not at all. I can give countless examples myself. It is not related to any of those things. In fact, I think they track people even more where I was...
Was it really a black hole that the EHT imaged in 2019?
> Apple's profits are so high that they don't know what to do with the money so they started their own investment fund.

So we should expect companies to only profit to a point of net-zero? Or can you call out a percentage of revenue that is acceptable?
That's not how it works as:

Most sex offenders are not kindergarten teachers...

Most are family members or "friends of the family".

Also there is a strong bias leading to female sex offenders being much less often convicted (partially
because they are also much less often reported).
The book is tiny and the exchange is probably the one doing the wash trading.
Weinstein did good to not only formulate but to publish.

At some point you got to throw caution into the bin and publish what you have to say.

This person mentioned Einstein, but Einstein was just the byproduct of a time when people had the balls to publish what could be perceived as extravagant theories.

Einstein was the one who got it right, but you don't get to hear from him if you don't create an environment in which people like him also felt the confidence to publish stuff that could be considered controversial.

People say necessity is the mother of invention, well right after that there's the feeling of being the only one who gets it and that all the others are wrong/clueless.

Competitive arrogance is right there at no.2
What do you mean by "as a feature"? Devs agree that MEV is a problem (a very hard one), and are trying to solve it.
Among other things, Extreme Programming says that estimates increasingly diverge from reality if they're longer than three weeks. So: Do you need accurate estimates? Then you need detail. The fuzzier the estimates can be, the less detail you need.

Do you need developers to do the detailed estimates? Yes, for two reasons. Politically/socially/culturally, having someone else telling you how long something is going to take you to do is... not received well, given normal human nature. Functionally, the developers have to be the ones to do the detailed estimates, because they're the ones who actually know what the details are.

All that said... overly detailed estimates are a waste of time. Don't break it down into a series of tasks, each of which take one hour or one day.
Yeah, I guess in my mind it’s worth finding face-saving means to alleviate Uyghur suffering in order to save humanity as we know it.

But again I ask: what is your solution?
The more money you have, the lower the fees. No fees for being a Maker.

You can actually pay nothing on FTX. Only a .025 taker fee + 60% discount for holding FTX coin plus a .01 rebate for being a market maker.

Most of wash trading is probably done by connected individuals though. Whole point of being unregulated. Just be friends with CZ or SBF.
And in that sense, English to some degree resembles written Chinese. Not only do spellings often not indicate pronunciation, but also pronunciations of words can vary drastically from area to area.
Corn originally meant “small seed”, and then was generically used to refer to what are now typically called grains or cereals (wheat, oats, rye, ...).

The new-world grain maize, which had no existing name in English, was called “Indian corn”. Later, that was shortened to just “corn”, which eventually resulted in the generic word “corn” losing currency in North America.
While I did not have access to the Internet in the previous century, I began blogging in 2001 as soon as I got access to the Internet at my university. At first I played a little with GeoCities. Then I began developing my own personal website.

It was not a reverse-chronological list of posts that we see in typical blogs today. Instead it was a loose collection of webpages with thoughts that I cared to jot down and share with others. Yes, it used table-based layout too! And then later I overzealously overengineered it with ASP-based dynamic pages.

I have now lost that original ASP code. But I still have some of its content and maintain it in blog format[1]. I take quick notes and share quick tidbits here. It now uses CSS and is statically generated with a simple Common Lisp program.

Corn only refers exclusively to maize in North American English. Corn is a catch-all term for all cereal grains. Maize is the cereal grain from Mexico that everyone makes tortillas from...
but they are; compared to tiny communities that have no external or internal methods or frameworks for change or improvement or accountability, large corporations are a veritable cornucopia of paths for change!

I treat original post as a relative comparison, not an absolute claim.
How does Coinbase self-regulate wash trading?
I don't see how any developer nor consumer would benefit from "pay your monthly play store fee to access the store". Imagine if credit cards also worked this way.
That seems a little extreme. Companies in general are not responsible for how people use their products. If I buy a kitchen knife at the grocery store, why should KitchenAid be responsible if I kill someone with it? Carmakers aren't responsible when someone runs over pedestrians.

As for registration, they already are registered to the owner's Apple account. That's how the owner is able to track it and know if it's been found.
This is on pages 403, 404 and 405 of the bill, if anyone wants to actually look at it.

(1) ADVANCED DRUNK AND IMPAIRED DRIVING PREVENTION TECHNOLOGY.

The term "advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology" means a system that—

(A) can—

(i) passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired; and

(ii) prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if an impairment is detected;

(B) can—

(i) passively and accurately detect whether the blood alcohol concentration of a driver of a motor vehicle is equal to or greater than the blood alcohol concentration described in section 163(a) of title 23, United States Code; and

(ii) prevent or limit motor vehicle operation if a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit is detected; or

(C) is a combination of systems described in subparagraphs (A) and (B).

They have 3 years to issue the rule, and then between 2 and 3 years after the rule is issued for it to go into effect.

Later on:

(e) TIMING.—If the Secretary determines that the Federal motor vehicle safety standard required under subsection (c) cannot meet the requirements and considerations described in subsections (a) and (b) of section 30111 of title 49, United States Code, by the applicable date, the Secretary—

They can just keep delaying if the technology isn't ready. But after a while, they have to start issuing reports to Congress about why it isn't ready.

I have a feeling the part A can be implemented while part B cannot. So that is probably going to be what happens. It will be interesting to see how they "limit operation" - no speeding, enhanced lane control, etc? Also, the whole "I was completely sober alert and unimpaired, but the car took over and made me crash" problem with liability.
Differences in average body fat percentage between the two groups could be a partial explanation, along with age differences.
For the night images, I would imagine just number of red pixels would give a roughly accurate count which could be converted into "high" or "low"
What's a "regulated" exchange in this context? US Exchanges are "self-regulated" and ultimately answer to FINRA and the SEC. Any rules they publish must be approved by the SEC.

Theres no such process (AFAIK) with "panel A" firms. Its still the wild west.

Does regulation mean KYC for client onboarding? Thats a completely different thing. We're not talking about on-exchange trading rules and compliance monitoring in that case.
Depends how big it is. If you make the tank twice the size, it weighs 4 times as much, but carries 8 times the hydrogen.

That's just bad etymology. The word/expression Saint Graal in Old French. Saint was translated into English directly as Holy, while Graal was adopted as is morphing into grail. It seems the etymology for graal is likely ultimately Ancient Greek krater, a type of wine bowl.

The 'sang real' (royal bloodline) nonsense was a much later invention (15th century).
I have not actually, I'll look into this, thank you for sharing!
