I feel the same. I am clearly red-green colorblind and I can't pass these tests with a lot of circles in different colors, but all the images from this list look very distinctive to me.

I also can't use the red-green colormodes in slack, iOS, mac, etc. because it makes the colors too... weird.

I often wonder if it's because the colors that I see, grew up with and label as "red" and "green" are actually different to what other people see as "red" and "green". But since we all just use these words to describe color, I would never know if the world that I see is similar to what everyone else sees.

Maybe the colorfilters do make things look 'real' and the red that comes out after the filter is the real red like how other people see it. But I'm already too used to "my red" that the "real red" just looks fake and odd.

While it's impossible to hire millions of excellent performers, I think that focuses too much on the people and not on the organization. The institutions themselves have real problems - like other large institutions, but these are problems the citizens are responsible for addressing.

I'll tell you something as someone who doesnt have crohn's but has suffered with IBS and undiagnosed permanent abdominal pain for 25 years:

Yes... we've tried everything, including stupid diets and even FMT. If you've read it on the internets we have likely also . We are mostly aware and thinking 24/7 about our disease. So yeah, whenever someone randomly tells us to try X or Y random thing, most likely we've already tried it, or have pondered it and decided not to. So most similar comments are usually annoying.

I read that as being about what language industry uses to write ML applications, not about technical feasibility of integrating machine learning methods into a codebase. Put differently: industry most often uses Python (especially in ML), therefore the author wants to target Python in order to maximize uptake outside of academia. They even admit that doing it in Python is technically harder than doing it in Julia ("Unfortunately, this type [Type III] is also the hardest to get right"), but consider it worth the trouble for the broader accessibility.

(That's more or less the direction I've been going with research code lately too, so I can sympathize, although I'm not entirely happy with the situation and definitely also sympathize with the Julia folks being unhappy about it.)

I have a significantly less happy story in this regard: I had just started at a new company, and the lead engineer went off to a holiday. On the drive up, he was struck and killed by a truck. He had the credentials for a lot of things that were core to the company. We got access to the AWS Account without too much trouble, after two weeks to receive a paper letter from them, but a few things were a real pain in the ass to recover.

It was really a tragic occurrence, and very sad - Curtis was a great engineer. I think my drink tonight will be to him.

> 2008 was caused by leverage on top of poor quality mortgages. Afaik, that's substantially reined in now.

So instead of having mortgages over 100% loan-to-value, the appraised value is just inflated beyond the actual value so that you keep the loan-to-value ration below 100%.

It's the exact same concept, they just shift the numbers around so the government is happy.

I'm not familiar with multi-GPU setup in general. GPU programming in Julia has the advantage that naive operation doesn't even need to be GPU-aware (for writers), since GPU arrays (of any vendor backend) conforms the AbstractArray interface.

If you're advanced library writer, you can leverage: https://juliagpu.github.io/KernelAbstractions.jl/stable/#Wri... which allows you to write kernel, in Julia, that compiles efficiently with rest of native Julia code, and that works cross-vendor!

Back to multi GPU, it seems there's: https://clima.github.io/OceananigansDocumentation/stable/app... which is MPI based?
I used MySQL ages ago. It was pretty fast out of the box. I never needed to vacuum. You could get up and running with Upsert and connections without trouble. It did feel hacky, but don't discount that it mostly worked for a lot of use cases. It always reminded me of software developed with use cases in mind (vs theory). That's actually a complement (ie, full joins are rare, left joins more common - so MySQL was better at left joins).

Going to postgre - much pickier. I found it slower out of box. You couldn't just throw tons of connections at it (ie, connection buildup / teardown felt slower). I had issues initially with quoting and capitalization etc.

That was a long time ago. Now I enjoy postgres and haven't touched MySQL, but there is a real history where MySQL was the database you could get going with pretty easily (I was pre-Oracle buyout).
That's a perfect example. Another would be "why do people pick ungoogleable names" or generally any shallow-predictable comment about the name of a thing rather than the thing itself. Example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29449955 (not to pick on that commenter!)

Falling Trends of Affordability for New Homes
While I agree this is demonstrative of overall less than adequate security practices, I’m unsurprised that a company that started with making hardware and only later added cloud functionality beyond a website/store was not initially setup as you described. What you described is the sort of setup I’ve been involved in the transition from what Ubiquiti has and what you just described, and it can be quite a lot of work to make that transition, if the industry involved didn’t have regulatory risk management drives, it’s entirely possible that it would have been considered more expensive than it was worth.

Ubiquiti now has public evidence their security posture is inadequate and there will be pressure for them to demonstrate they have changed this situation.

It’s very difficult to completely prevent malicious actors engaging in deliberate efforts to infiltrate and plan actions like this once they have any measure of access and trust. What matters now is how they respond to it.
I think they are right that many people who swear by MySQL have never used another SQL database.

When MySQL hit the scene at the start of the whole LAMP thing, PG was much slower in some use cases than MySQL, and proprietary databases were super expensive. There weren’t too many options. PG was still fairly rough around the edges.

Of course I also needed transactions, and they didn’t come with MySQL - that would hurt performance apparently - so when I was forced to leave Solid due to HP’s acquisition and subsequent pricing hike, PG was the only option for me.

But most developers didn’t need (or didn’t know they needed) transactions, and SQL was the tech de jour, so off they went.

I tried to like MySQL, but the weird not-quite-SQL syntax, lack of transactions and this _weird feeling I got_ put me off.

> But that wasn't who he was referring to by the phrase "radical right who all but destroyed America", was it? He specifically differentiates between the 32% you are referring to and the "radical right" by saying that one was fueled by the other.

I think he's saying that (possibly) Roe radicalized the right, convincing them that democracy was a dead end. It isn't clear that he intends to exclude any anti-abortionists from his "radical right"; certainly the anti-abortionists could be mostly radical right.

> The "radical right" is so tiny that it's hard to even get numbers on them.

If that were true, Trump wouldn't have even been nominated, much less elected.

> Okay then, how do you start with premise that "Abortion banned for all practical purposes" results in the conclusion that "Computer Science is threatened"?

You made up the quote "Computer Science is threatened". Aaronson didn't say that, or anything like it; you're just falsely claiming that he did. The only mention of computer science in the post or any of his comments is when he says that he often uses the blog to "advertise positions in quantum information and theoretical computer science at the University of Texas at Austin," mentions "a Berkeley CS student named Pratyush Mishra", says he was once "a CS theory PhD student at Berkeley", and mentions a requirement for "a Masters in CS" to apply for CS grad school at a different university in another country.

(Unlike your fabricated quotes, those are things Aaronson actually wrote, which is why I put them in quotation marks.)

> Sure, but I didn't hallucinate his fear that lack of legal abortion threatens computer science.

There's certainly nothing in his post suggesting such a fear.

I do think you can make a reasonable case that academics will tend to flee places where they are being denied basic human rights, given the opportunity, and that this will impede research in those places, not only in computer science but in any field. There are definitely exceptions; the Soviet Union had many excellent academicians throughout the Cold War, for example, in part because they weren't legally allowed to emigrate. But that doesn't impede any field as a whole, because the refugees keep doing research in whatever they were doing research in before, just somewhere else. And, if there's nowhere available for them to flee to, they'll stay put and keep doing research, perhaps with the occasional promising research career cut short by death from pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or execution by stoning for walking in public with non-related men.

>However, when your talking 5+% of the population you can only stray so far from those norms

I would expect the top (or bottom) 5% of the population in any dimension to be far from the norm.

>Select for decent health, decent intelligence, and decent physical capacity and you can only focus so much on mental health

I think these are wishful thinking, not what is actually selected for. As long as there's no draft, the military does not get to select people. Someone takes the ASVAB, and decides against going further, there's nothing that can be done. People select themselves. The minimum standards weren't that high when I last talked to a recruiter and over the years I've read a lot of articles that suggest they've gotten lower.

The military, like a lot of difficult jobs (police officer, teacher, etc.) doesn't pay proportionally.

So recruits are selected for willingness to put up with that. From an abstract economic perspective, someone who accepts lower than market pay must receive some other form of non-monetary compensation that explains it. It would be nice to attribute it always and only to patriotism, but there are other possibilities, conscious or unconscious, just like a devotion to justice and protecting people is one particular reason for becoming a police officer.

In letting people select themselves for a difficult and low paid job, you will get people who are not near average because they highly value access to things that cannot be found anywhere else, for any amount of money. And they will be concentrated together, changing the character of an organization.

Modern Western culture holds individual freedom, social mobility, and self-direction in such esteem I think we may have a blind spot with regard to how random selection and assignment of people to jobs can sometimes produce better results.
But that doesn’t change the fact that no amount of efficiency can make domestic shipping + oceanic shipping cheaper than domestic shipping alone.
Shameless plug: check out [Rosettable https://github.com/francoisp/rosettable]. Brings Postgres triggers and notifies to your MySQL schema, with it you can organize a smooth transition.

> Well, the other reason stocks aren't scarce is that the company can print new ones. You'd expect this to reduce valuation and therefore have shareholders oppose it, but in practice that doesn't seem to happen lately.

If you're doing this in an above-board way, it's still scarce, because the whole reason why companies even issue new shares is to raise capital. When you're doing that, you're trading one scarce resource (capital) for shares, which means that the shares are also scarce. You can make an infinite amount of TVs given infinite raw materials, but TVs are still scarce.

>This is highly underrated as a reason. What's the fundamental improvement in Gamestop and Tesla causing their stock price to go up this year?

Any evidence that people bought exactly one share TSLA/GME just so they could hang on their wall and/or feel smug about it? In both cases it's far more likely they bought into it because of expectation of future profits (from greater fools or actual operating profits).

>Many people don't seem to understand how to separate them, leading to beliefs like "luxury apartments cost more because they have granite countertops" and "gentrification can be prevented by not building new buildings". You can't build houses forever, but you sure can build many more of them than the US does right now.

While there might certainly be people who think the housing crisis is caused by "developers only building luxury condos" or whatever, I doubt this is a popular view on HN. Any time a housing-related thread shows up on HN, that explanation almost never shows up, and the NIMBY/zoning explanation almost always does. I'm sure a decade+ member like yourself can see this. Therefore I don't really see much point in arguing this distinction, because you'd be preaching to the choir.

Even if you did that, if I have oversight of the network in a country, like a 5+ eyes level of oversight and you were in a 5+ eyes country, I'd still be able to see where you are and what you would be doing.

Road & Rail networks have a lot in common with digital networks, when you think about it.

Personally I'd have a machine in a foreign country and used that either via an app or friend in front of the machine to do the download(s) with a time delay to avoid obvious links and then sneak it back across the border in bits.

Insecure home networks can be useful, and there is no limit to the number of times and algo's that can be used to encrypt files Russian Doll style.

Foreign country's which do not data share or extradite have their uses, but media like news orgs, Youtube and others can be helpful for establishing what hackers have been extradited. Assume all country's have hackers attacking the US or some other country and then look for missing news stories, YT videos and that sort of thing.

Then look into what relations are like between the two country's and go from there.

If you do your research or homework there shouldnt be any risks.

In classical Latin a C is always hard, so Principia would not sound as "principle" does in English.

Whether this means that this is "correct" is debatable. Cs in Latin have been universally soft for several hundred years so using the classical pronunciation is anachronistic.

Perhaps appropriate for a English book with a Latin title. Pronounce it however you fancy, really.

I don't think anyone's going to suddenly switch to postgres as a result of this blog post...so really, what's the point?

Or put another way: what did this person do to lift up all of these people? Deriding doesn't actually help anything.

If the goal is just to vent that's fine, but there's really not much else to see here.
The danger of user space scheduling: proprietary implementations of scheduling algorithms. Given enough time, instead of a huge effort for a scheduler that has few tunables and works reasonably well for most cases, we'll get a lot of proprietary schedulers that works very well but each for a single very specialized case. The end result maybe the out-of-the-box scheduler becomes neglected and mostly abandoned in the future.
