My first reaction when I heard 'Facebook' becoming 'Meta' was "One of my favorite word in my frequently used vocabulary would now be second guessed before using"; Every now and then I used to dream of establishing small meta-science labs in India like Meta-Physics, Meta-Chemistry... Now it's going to be weird to dream about it.

More urgently, I'm worried "meta" hyperlink on my forum would be ignored by my visitors thinking it's just a link to Facebook; Where as it's an link to meta discussions about the platform.
So this sounds like it is mostly concerned with the derivation part. Is it going to be based on Nickel then, or a new custom parser? Would be interested in the rationale there
Author there, I'm curious how you found this post that was not indexed yet? :) (and not finished then)
Just because they can't market those responsibilities in a format that we are used to doesn't mean they don't do the work. It's just like the quiet worker in an office who does his job but is never noticed because he can't/doesn't care about selling his work to others.
Theoretically it would go down if you did that. In practice it seems to go up if people like you.

The Japanese "ruling class" at that time was extremely small, even by today's standards. Any adoption of Christianity that amounted to anything necessarily would have to have footing in the common people. Which to some extend did happen, either by forced baptisms demanded by the local daimyo (though inspired by and motivated from the local clergy), by some extend by the Jesuits doing charitable work in a century of basically non-stop civil war in which the predominant Buddhist sects concentrated on appealing to the warrior caste.

Persecution of Christians focussed on priests at first (who usually were executed), but became increasingly focussed on the small commoners groups in the 1640s (who usually were given the option to apostate). Unsurprisingly, these efforts were focussed on Kyushu.

Interestingly, we see christianity being syncretised again in Japan today, sometimes in weird and borderline funny concepts like the 'crucified Santa' iconography that has been showing up recently.

A good first primer in early Christianity in Japan that's not an original source is Mullins, Mark (1998). Christianity Made in Japan: A Study of Indigenous Movements. University of Hawaii Press or Boxer, C.R. (1951). The Christian Century in Japan: 1549–1650. University of California Press.

For some information on the hanare kirishitan, the primer would be Whelan, Christal (1996). The beginning of heaven and earth : the sacred book of Japan's hidden Christians. University of Hawaii Press
No, we are writing an implementation of the Nix language. Nixpkgs is written in Nix and we believe that's the most important part of the ecosystem, so Tvix will support it.
Japan’s public > private dynamic is further fueled by the fact that public high schools are entirely admissions test based, and students may choose which school they attend. It is also non-compulsory (although >90% of students attend high school).

You also only get 1 shot at applying to a public high school. So students tend to self-select (with some not-so-subtle nudging by their teachers) on the tier of public school they apply to based on various assessments of their own academic prowess.

This creates a competitive environment for the top tier public high schools, which feature heavily subsidized and reduced tuition. Yes. You must pay for high school in Japan. And competitive high-performing high schoolers tend to apply for and get into competitive, top tier universities such as Tokyo Universities.

Parents and high performing middle school children understand this acutely. So naturally, an entire industry of cram schools emerges to prepare these precocious 14 year olds to apply to the best high schools in their region so they can go to the nation’s best university so they can work at the nation’s best companies and live a life of middle class comfort.

On the other hand, private schools largely will overlook test scores in exchange for the more expensive tuition collected. As far as I can remember, you were also only allowed to apply to one private. Not to say privates are bad, or that kids don’t want to go to them. But the high performers definitely were going for the publics with the private school being their backup.

As a result, Japanese middle school students are some of the most stressed out teenagers I’ve ever seen.

I’m waiting for graphics cards to be accessible again so we can do ML generative art, music, and multimedia at home and implode the cloud for anything but storage and recovery of algorithmic libraries that regenerate seeds.

Sorry/not sorry but I’m sick of this bizarre startup fetish for syntax art and finance as usual.

The algorithms are public domain. It’s still feudal property ownership. We call caste cohort now, having conjured another abstraction to confuse the rubes.

We send kids to college to define statistical objects of unknowable information network effects in many contexts to keep them busy. We’ll probably just morph to supporting the logistics network in the abstract. I can see teens and 20-something basically nationalizing that approach once enough old people die. It’ll all be boxed up behind tidy APIs
This reminds of me of something I did once.

Someone was trying to register an account on AliExpress. They were getting a message saying their last name was a banned word; I didn't ever figure out why it was banned. Perhaps because I could tell that the check was happening dynamically via JavaScript, I took a chance and opened up the browser dev tools. Nerd sniping accomplished. After some digging, I determined that the check was only being enforced client-side. I figured out what I needed to run in the console and/or change in the code to disable it, did so, and we were able to register the account.

I walked away shaking my head that it was even possible for me to do that. Also with an appreciation for how powerful the built-in dev tools are in modern browsers.
Not directly, but the reputational damage ... and the possibility that national governments might be emboldened to act against Google in tax or privacy domains could knock percentage points off the market cap.

I think that would be rooted in anti-racism, and anyway the next sentence after it "They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change." I think establishes the universality of the idea, the same idea expressed in phrases such as if voting could truly change the system it would be outlawed.

that idea being that systemic change cannot be achieved within the system that is to be changed.

on edit: I am not necessarily a believer in the idea, as I think the 'if voting' expression of the idea can be shown to be wrong by various historical examples.
I recall paying for a coffe with bitcoin once. The transaction took 30 minutes despite an above average fee which was much more than e.g. PayPal would have taken. This was when I knew that bitcoin is unsuitable to replace other payment providers.

Rittenhouse had shot one person, who had chased him and lunged for his gun, at the time the mob chased after him. He was not aiming his gun at anybody else nor did he fire his gun at anybody else until he was being attacked.

Grosskreutz had chased after him after he had shot Rosenbaum, but Grosskreutz did not witness the shooting himself - none of Rittenhouse's pursuers had. He got close enough to Rittenhouse to ask Rittenhouse where he was running. Rittenhouse doesn't turn around and shoot Grosskreutz, but instead tells Grosskreutz he's going to the police, to which Grosskreutz yells 'stop him'.[0] The fact is, Rittenhouse's pursuers didn't think he was an 'active shooter', they saw that he was running away, and didn't want to let him get away, and were trying to take justice into their own hands. And in fact, if Grosskreutz actually had thought that Rittenhouse were an 'active shooter', why didn't he shoot him right then?

Jacques, stop. You compared it to a sandwich. You don't get to complain that someone makes a comparison with a seat belt.

I'm European and extremely pro gun control / anti gun in general, probably moreso than you, by the way. You are blinded by your bias and it really shows in your posts.

Edit, to elaborate on why i think you're blinded by it: I am with you, it's utterly idiotic that people bring guns to these things and that this is somehow okay. But you can't judge US protester actions by EU standards, because over there and in that case, bringing a gun "just in case" with no intent to use it absolutely is standard.

The comparison with a seat belt absolutely stands, because it was brought "just in case". And yes, it's stupid that this is how things are over there, but you can't blame a seventeen year old for centuries of political idiocy.

Ouch. What about a less "final" idea, like moving to the midwest or Texas?

I don't think this is fair. First-mover advantage is absolutely a thing at the ecosystem level.
The singularity was us extrapolating technological progress. If you did the same during the agricultural revolution, we'd probably have anticipated a singularity at 0 AD.

There's something happening but it's very likely we'll hit a wall the same way Moore's Law is facing.

We also have exponential growth going on in startups/business but it's starting to hit a wall too. The early startups like shopping, logistics, digital infra advances, shared knowledge were amazing. But we're hitting a wall in unsolved business problems too.
Oh yeah. I completely forgot about that one

> Because utilization at mid will always be less than at hyper.

Will it?

Economies of scale have diminishing returns. If you have one engineer who is 20% busy, your engineer cost per unit will be five times higher than a company five times your size who keeps that one person 100% busy.

If you have four engineers who are all 100% busy, compared to a company 250 times your size with 1000 engineers, your cost per unit is equivalent.
Nice, that's the only one I had on my radar as well. That's a good confirmation thank you : )

I don't think MacKenzie is ordering anyone to build a palace for her.

It's sad that this thread had to be buried because HN can't just be happy that MacKenzie is giving away wealth. It's an intellectually interesting, substantive, new phenomenon. Instead we get "Actually this warlord from the past gave away more than her" and "The best poor people are ungrateful for charity."

Well said, A basic consumer shouldn't be expected to be aware of OPSEC for repairing a broken phone(which in this case seems to be the reason for not wiping data as well).

This also brings an important aspect of repairability, I've been paying for extended warranty and discount on battery replacement for years to an android manufacturer and when the time arrived(during lockdown) they wanted my device sent to the repair-center as there was no policy to send the parts to the consumer's place.

Although I don't believe for a moment that Apple is pro-repair now, I hope them sending parts directly to the consumer would be followed by android manufacturers as well.
This is great. We give too much merit to armchair experts instead of to people who are naturally too busy making shit happen.

> do you prefer the world as it is under coronavirus restrictions?

What present restrictions are you referring to? Could you list a few of the most onerous ones? I know there mask mandates in lots of places currently, and I know earlier in the pandemic there were severe restrictions on gathering indoors and such (and I'm not here to defend or condemn them), but what restrictions are there besides mask mandates that are currently causing you grief? I actually don't know. (Are you in the US? or is this about another country?)

I've been trying to guess them from the things you listed, but it's not clear to me, e.g. I don't quite know what restrictions are imposed on you that prevent you from having dinner with friends.
there is a csv driver[1] which allows you map a csv file on the metabase server, or providing a url of the csv. But I guess most people (including myself) would think of "upload csv file via UI" when it comes to csv support.

This is true, but for performance's sake, you should not alloc/free in a busy loop, especially not on a real time system.

Allocate in advance, reuse allocated memory.
It's not the case here (I think), but this can be common if you move functions around or expose functions that were previously internal.

For example, maybe your function is only called from another one that performs the appropriate bound checks, so checking again becomes redundant. After a simple refactoring, you can end up exposing your function, and screw up.
I am by no means religious, and yet there are certain places that just feel special. Old churches and monasteries for example, regardless of where they are in the world. I've never been to Notre Dame, but Mt. St. Michel has that feeling. As do medieval churches and cathedrals in general. Or monasteries in the Himalaya. Or Petra. No modern day church comes close to that, and even medieval churches that were modernized, Barock or later, loose a lot of that feeling.

I think it's intentional. I don't think anyone in the company said "this is great design let's do this" but more like "this is unconventional (in Apple words, "takes courage") and rad, we know people will call it ugly but let's be unique this way and do it".

Durability is an abstract quality, it could mean long lasting, or effective against variants, or some other resistance qualities..

IMO the science on natural immunity has been lacking, so it's hard to say with certainty.

one important thing we do know is that mRNA vaccines only generate an s-protein (the spike) whereas the full virus also includes an n-protein (the nucleocapsid). So vaccine immunity one trains against one protein whereas natural infections may train against both. This could be the basis for comprehensive immunity.. but I'll reiterate, it depends on scientific confirmation.
> I have 15 days off every 20 days instead of 8

Wait, what? How does working one day less a week get you to 15 days off?
It makes me upset for a few reasons, if you're interested to know.

First is the idea that a rich person can measure the "best" type of poor person. Excluding criminals, there aren't better or worse poor people. Just people struggling to survive.

The second is the idea that charity isn't beneficial. I've personally benefitted from countless acts of small charity throughout my life, and I'm not even poor. Nowadays I try to pay it forward by donating to Watsi, and I'm quite certain that the kid whose finger got cut off by a bandsaw is now grateful to be treating his staph infection, thanks to charitable donations.

The third reason is that it's being used as a talking point on HN rather than us, y'know, thanking her for giving away so much when she didn't need to. It's implicitly criticizing what she's doing. Which would be fine, if the critique had merit. But what is being proposed here, exactly? A wealth redistribution program that makes such "donations" mandatory?
How much of that is revenue from actual crypto-related business vs. just appreciation of crypto the company owns? Feels like the impressiveness of this trend really depends on that

What are you comparing it against? Even the Pi 4 is Cortex-A72 on a 28nm process node. Pretty sure any other core that’s similar on those vectors will have approximately the same consumption. It’s just 6 year old tech now.
They would still have to type it at some point if I were busy when they originally had the question. It’s not a waste of keyboard time for them to type it now, even if I don’t read it until later.
Yes, that would be the only reason to fire, and the only reason to lay off would be a massive change in financial outlook. For example if your biggest customer just switched to a competitor and now you have to do a big layoff or risk bankruptcy.

I always assumed AWS had the same model as the Amazon store, if they see something gaining in popularity on their platform (or off it), copy it and do it themselves.

It’s inevitable that things like Vercel, Netlify, Fly, and Render are copied by Amazon. It’s what they do, they want the full stack top to bottom fully integrated.

The thing they will never compete in though is developer UX, that’s where the smaller vendors (like those mentioned above) will always shine. AWS is now about 100x to big to have a good developer UX, there is just to much there.

The company that is really shaking things up is CloudFlare, they don’t seem to be afraid of playing with the business model to undercut AWS.
The US regularly does this as well. Coded messages in the form of seemingly random letters and numbers are broadcast over HF and VLF in the clear all over the world. One use is for Emergency Action Messages (nuke orders). [1]

NIST also makes broadcasts for things like timekeeping. You can listen to 5k or 10k Hz and it’ll tell you what time it is. Handy for checking that your gear works.

Nix itself is in first approximation "just a package manager", so not particularly tied to a kernel AFAIU. As to NixOS, this one's a Linux distro, so it currently mostly assumes Linux kernel AFAIK. I tried exploring plugging in L4Linux in that place, but failed due to not being able to understand related areas of NixOS/Nixpkgs well enough. Guix OS on the other hand has some (experimental?) support for GNU Mach kernel I believe.
