I had a strong Christian upbringing, but abandoned it at a young age. My adult life has been spent in natural sciences - research in physics, chemistry, biology.

Few years back I had my series of experiments with LSD & psilocybin. No enlightment was obtained, but one of the major realizations was that some serious psychotherapy is needed to understand and fix my warped self-image and the way of living originating from it. Been dissecting myself in a psychodynamic setting now, feel better.

I also often find myself using biblical terms in describing my actions and feelings. Sin, hell, heaven. Maybe this is some integration, maybe I watched too much Jordan Peterson videos in my dark days, heh.

One of the major takeaways is this near mystical feeling of awe about life. Having the education to understand things from the most fundamental building blocks just increases this. Protons and electrons, balls and springs, entropy maximization, phase spaces. Wiggling and docking macromolecules, interacting in the realm of low Reynolds number. Machinery using fundamental particles and photons, juggling photons, protons, and electrons to power the infinitely seeming finite complex machinery, molded by evolution. Freaking emergent properties arising from this - life, consciousness. And we have the capabilities to understand and actually fix some fundamental problems with this knowledge - eg. getting cryo-EM structures of covid spike proteins, docking millions of molecules through the computational methods created by the collaborative effort of our advanced cognitions.

This stuff was always cool, but now I look it like the most beautiful work of art, and feel the upmost priviledge to have the ability to pay my bills thinking about these things.
Prices can go up for other reasons. Let's say everybody in town got a raise. The guy at the store thinks: I want a raise too. So he adds 50 cents of profit to the cost of AB&C. People have more money, so they shrug and keep buying just as much AB&C. A manufacturer (sneakier) could put slightly less stuff in a slightly bigger box with brighter colors.
The one I know most about seemed to be corrupt af from top to bottom, including all thru HR, incompetent af at many key upper-level positions, and had the worst culture of any company i've ever been at.

It's actually the experience that, 20+ years into IT, I finally started to believe that 'company culture' could potentially matter at least a little bit -- i.e. maybe it wouldn't make you win, but it could def help you lose.

The product management function, to the extent it existed, was ass. I suspect that was because it wasn't allowed to be run by people who either knew what they were doing, or were actually hired to do it -- not sure tho.

There were other factors too, that almost certainly played an important, potentially deciding, role in the company's fate -- but naming it/them would give it away.

So, any number of factors could have killed the company. imo.

I do remember being on one call where prospects were trying to invest in the company -- it just seemed like the tech, once experienced, could have that effect on some people.
I totally understand the need to opt out of something as extreme as the 996 culture in China. But what’s happening in the US among younger generations is different. It feels a lot more like entitlement to me, enabled by generous COVID stimulus, eviction bans, and other policies. But if this ‘revolt’ isn’t just a fad but something with staying power, then I think the long-term implication for the American economy is grim. Ultimately, it takes hard work to remain competitive. And there is a world full of countries with hungry, driven individuals who are ready to put in the effort if given a chance. When that economic pressure comes for US workers, I’m not sure they’ll be ready to cope.

They are just choosing to work differently than the traditional 8hr/5d (minimum) job!

(yes forgoing all paid employment seems a bit extreme)

Yep, this is the SAP way.

Either you match your business to the SAP Way or your multi-million SAP integration project will fail. There are no other options.

You can theoretically prolong the inevitable by modifying SAP to fit your business model, but then it'll just break and fail during the next update.

Formal Logic and Argumentation

I find it amazing that people can argue endlessly about conclusions or personal judgements, especially when morals are concerned, without any effort to discover the premise upon which the disagreement rests. I think people should learn about argumentation as a method to discover truth and agreement, rather than a competition.

I’m not highly knowledgeable in this domain, just a person that would like to have more productive and less emotional or moralistic conversations.
Ah, yes. The perils of making comments at 2 AM.

I stand corrected.
Additionally it might be a good idea to forbid password logins altogether by adding this line in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

PasswordAuthentication no

Of course you should make really sure to actually have a working public key in your users "~/.ssh/authorized_keys" file and/or in "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys" otherwise you might lock yourself out of the server.

But the point here is: given the choice, you should never log in regularily with a ssh password if you can also use a key.
Israel is not an ethnostate. The racial definition of jews is actually mostly induced by their detractors and the history of prosecution. For some there is a religious component, but that isn't too relevant here.

Finally and most importantly Jews aren't responsible for your personal shortcomings.
Parents should be responsible for regulating the access they allow and time that their children spend on social media. There needs to be laws on how addictive social media can be intentionally made by companies.

Furthermore I don't see any reason why any children <16 should be on or have access to Facebook, Twitter, etc...

TLDR: Companies need to be prevented from making their applications excessivly addictive and parents need to parent their children more when it comes to social media.

If artists pay the ~$250+ fee to promote their music (based on the last time I checked), and then only make $50 for streaming their music 100k times, it's a heist plain and simply. If at the end of the year artists then publicize that they've had 100k streams, but in reality they only made $50 after spending $250 to get there then Spotify wrapped is quite possibly just a branding scheme to drive up their "under the table" annual ad revenue, and it encourages the platform to hold back non-ad-buying artists (in numerous ways) to encourage them to buy ad/promo/boost/playlist services.

This is the honest truth after my research over 3 years. There are several far more rewarding platforms out there that don't deal in phony merit badges, and that don't artificially bend reality to serve their profit records and shareholders first.
In the world of UFC MMA, Connor McGregor's coach Kavanagh is on a go fund me campaign to raise money enough for Ian to walk again, who was recently injured along the spine. The treatment Kavanagh has for Ian costs 75 thousand euros and they at last count had reached 45 thousand euros. Elon Musk should reachout to coach Kavanagh to see what treatment options Neuralink has compared with what other treatments are available for Ian to walk again.

You seem unable to form coherent ideas.
Not necessarily true. You can establish read information only. Every dll has its intended purpose. You can inject into an existing kernel and not trip the signature modification using obfuscation.
I don’t think it will be banned - the commercial incentives are just too strong, and states have bought into the idea that it is a security tool - rather than the security risk it actually is. It radicalises, it damages, it makes the remote and irrelevant seem imminent and proximal, the lone voices seem prevalent - but from a governance perspective, it allows surveillance of an increasingly disgruntled population, and relinquishing that control, that direct feed into the ids of millions, is not something any government is about to do.

No, I foresee a future in which social media is mandatory - if not in law, at least in practice. I use none, as I found it turned me into a performer rather than a person, and even now sometimes find myself at an impasse where I am not able to do x, y, z because I do not have a social media presence. For instance, I was refused entry to the US for refusing to divulge my social media handles - because I have none. I was last night refused entrance to a bar because I wouldn’t share my instagram handle - because I have none. I had to go for a physical interview last year for a residency permit where I live, because I would not share my Facebook handle - because I have none. I got residency, but I was presented with additional hurdles for not being a user.

If you want out, the only way is to forgo much of modern life - and this will only become more and more apparent.

I’ve taken to writing physical letters. If I can’t be bothered, what I had to say evidently wasn’t important in the first place.
> 10/25 feels like a CCR2004? Or are you just talking switching.

That’s exactly right. Thanks for the tip that things get squished into 2x25gbit before reaching the CPU; this effectively means that anything that isn’t offloaded to the hardware is limited by “just” 2x25GBit. Is my understanding also correct that this would be the case for when traffic needs to go from the SFP+ ports to the SFP28 ones?

Regardless, what I really wanted to do (mostly as an experiment) is use QoS to prioritize iSCSI and others; the problem I’m running into is that the CPUs are just not able to do that that fast.

I think the only solution to this problem would be to use an x86 machine with a bunch of Mellanox cards in it.

Seven Segment Search: Day 8: Advent of Code 2021
My recollection is that by the end of the novel its clear that Gurgeh was never competitive with the ship, although he might have been competitive with his security drone (although even that isn't clear, since <spoilers> imply that the security drone is a better game player than it pretends to be).

To me it felt like the whole point of the novel was that Gurgeh was a piece in an even larger game and he didn't even realize it. So the idea that the people playing the "bigger" game couldn't compete in the smaller game seems silly, and I think they mention that they used Gurgeh instead of an AI to make it appear fair to the inhabitants of the planet.
That's why religions like Buddhism deconstructs those walls in the waking sober mind. Then the mind does not build them back up.
> that our DNA can tell us about the environments our genetic ancestors lived in.

It‘s afaik not the DNA transporting the information, but epigenetics. Eg everything around the DNA deciding what parts to read/ignore.
I also do this, but be weary of situations where you’re using ephemeral containers and you have to download, scrape, then reupload a bare repo.. Sure, you can use GitHub or Gitlab, but I opted for stashing and archiving into GCS / S3 directly and had to write some pretty intricate code to essentially perform a mitosis each month so the repo only got to about 100 mb. Fortunately, got it working before we hit 2gb flying around every 15m.. Also running garbage collection is tricky and didn’t appear to be possible with libgit2, so a lot of nuance here too don’t let the simplicity of the idea fool you. I learned a lot of things about Git from this project.. so yeah, just be careful is all in certain architectural contexts. However, I agree, it’s an extremely useful technique to approach scraping this way.

Edit: PS we use Apache arrow and save as parquet files, which has lots of benefits over SQLite because you can democratize the dataset by using Athena / BigQuery.. and I diplomatically agreed to use Go to consume the data and serve the API.. so that’s been time consuming.. but fun!
So, is this something that can actually make infrared light visible, or a coating that can be applied directly to sensors?

I think you are confusing Java and the tools built on top of Java.

I only code with JavaSE and only use 2 external dependencies (original json and dns4j, both minimalist and written by one man each), that said Java probably has the leanest API that has ever existed and potentially that will ever exist.

I don't know how go changed. But as for chess the tournament play at the master level have insane deep opening preparation done before with computers. They play preparation game where they try to guess what lines the opponent checked and memorized before the games. They aren't actually playing until their computer backed preparation ends more than the few moves that they have fed in to come up with something different. Both spectators and players kind of find this a little bit boring.

I do acknowledge that this isn't a new phenomena Fischer complained about this before the computer engine era and came up with a chess variant to nullify deep opening prep!
HOT TAKE: I think parents should prevent their kids from smoking and tobacco companies bear no responsibility for their addictive product.

I'm currently working with a team of Advanced developers for the first time in my career. Nobody is padding their CV with fancy shit. Everyone has gotten the "new shiny" out of their system.

Everything is as simple as it can be, no simpler and no more complex. Sometimes a bunch of flat JSON files in an S3 bucket is enough of a database, you don't need a 42 machine Aurora cluster.

All fancy "Machine learning" stuff really is just a bunch of ifs and for loops internally :D
Not unimaginable, a similar coating is on the inside of fluorescent lighting tubes.
Yeah, influx and Grafana are the reporting end of my stuff, which includes cistern levels, fuel levels, and all the other gumph required to run tiny water and power grids - but openhab provides the underpinnings, and hasn’t required me to do anything custom beyond defining fields and logic. In theory, anyone could pick up where I left off.

TinyGo is awesome.
The problem is that the use of Meta’s applications are so pervasive between kids (and adults), this is effectively taking away their ability to communicate with their friends and they will be ‘left out’. Being the only person in your group of friends not in the group chat will make you feel excluded (and might even lead to you being excluded from things like events or meet-ups that are organised on the platform).

Now it’s a “damned if you do and damned if you don’t”, and just giving your kids the keys is probably the lesser of the two evils.

Which is why we should be making sure that these platforms are healthy for everyone involved, as much as is practical and possible.
I agree with this approach but there’s more to it. It’s a process. You coach them along the way over a period of years. You offer other outlets for boredom and opportunity for IRL socializing. I feel like this is the real root cause. Our society has largely 1) outsourced all parent responsibilities (too hard, over worked, etc. are just excuses for being lazy, my observation is most parents are glad to throw a iPad in little Jimmy’s face if he’ll leave them alone) and 2) kids are not playing enough outside with other kids in unstructured ways (when they do, they care not about what’s happening on TikTok).

I like to take my son fishing because it teaches him it’s ok to be bored, silence is ok too, also our talks and bonding is deeper in these moments, and it gets us out in nature.
I imagine you could do this passively with some differently valued resistors in the cable.
Do not lock down to your IP address. Home IP's change all the time, and in proper security there should be no other way to access the server other than proper ssh authentication or physical access. There is no good reason to be doing it in this context. If SSH turns out to have a massive vulnerability that bypasses keyauth then every service on the net will be torn down.

It's true. There is no battery electric equivalent of an F1 car that's competitive over an F1 race distance. Maybe hydrogen fuel cell if you could package it small enough. Toyota's trying a hydrogen combustion engine but it doesn't have much range:

https://www.thedrive.com/news/43426/toyota-will-run-hydrogen...

The next step for F1 to become more eco-friendly is to switch to synthetic fuel. But most of F1's carbon footprint is in the factories and team transport anyway and not the emissions from the cars.

External software calls into everything. Welcome to Windows development.

It's extremely difficult to implement even "obvious" changes like a dark-mode Notepad when it could potentially break customers who have been depending on specific behavior for decades.

I see no contradiction between the argument “A more diverse university community opens all students up to a broader range of perspectives, helping them become better problem solvers and introducing them to new ways of thinking.” and the objection when a black student is “expected to be an authority on the lives of all black people.”

Catholic students aren't expected to be an authority on all Catholic people.

The idea is the diverse viewpoints can contribute to a variety of situations.

This can be a simple as identifying race-based technology bias. Perhaps a class project is to develop a facial recognition system, and the students realize they built one that doesn't recognize the faces of the black students in the class. Better this happen in class than in real-world situation with stronger consequences, like we've read about here on HN.

It can come up in a discussion of Sparta; perhaps the black student will more likely bring up the question of who provided the food and other supplies for the 300.

Speaking of religion, I was at a talk where the speaker compared InChI (a way to represent molecular structures as a unique string suitable for database lookups) as a sort of Bible, along the lines of "there's only one version, but there are many translations." I objected to the analogy, asking if he meant the Catholic Bible, the Protestant Bible, or the Orthodox Bible? I am no expert on any of those bibles, but my background in multi-cultural Miami might mean I had a context that someone from a monocultural region might not have.

> The idea, again, is that there’s something offensive about a Black person being asked to arbitrate the Black view on a given issue — but what if white writers don’t ask?

I had a very different interpretation of the evidence presented. Henderson was paid to be a writer. Instead, "[m]uch of her job amounted to answering a single question." That's not writing. It's not going to advance her career if she has fewer writing credits than her co-workers.

Studios hire specialists to ensure that, say, the technobabble in Star Trek has the right ring to it. If part of her job is "to arbitrate the Black view on a given issue", then she should be paid for the extra job reponsibilities. Or the studio should hire someone who is actually a specialist.

Or hire more writers with knowledge of "the Black view", since it sounds like the studio was overworking her.

In reality, a lot of NFTs are ultimately purchased by their owners in the course of laundering money due to the lack of oversight, and there's a lot of profiteering in the process of minting NFTs, so there's a vested interest in recruiting people into the establishment.
