> Yes, but once it has shipped and people may have come to depend on it it will break stuff, not fix stuff.

That may apply to every change, including things everybody agrees on to be bug fixes. If, for example, you improve the number of correctly returned bits for computing sin, that can break programs, for example games that want to keep world models in exact sync across systems.

From what I read here, intel didn’t advertise this feature and it wasn’t easily discovered. If so, I don’t think customers have any claim against Intel for the CPUs.

_If_ motherboard vendors advertised/promoted it (could be as simple as blogging about it), I would think people who bought a motherboard because it allows activating this feature will have a case against them (in the EU and possibly elsewhere, the seller is responsible for the product being fit for purpose, not the manufacturer, so it would be the seller, but let’s ignore that)

Legally, there also is the issue who applies that update. From what I read, that’s the motherboard. Here again, I would say that, if customers have a case, it would be against whomever sold them the motherboard (e.g. if that silently applies the update) I don’t see any indication that Intel, as a CPU manufacturer, forces existing customers to install this.

One thing I’ve learned running various teams including many very talented new college associates is this.

Young new college graduates are not any good at work until they either learn how to be or are coached how to be. It appears to be a tautology. Honestly, it’s totally ok, what’s not ok is for them to have expectations of young new college grads to be experienced hires instead of associate level employees. This is poor leadership not representative of your failings (which I expect are plenty given youth and first job).

Parsing Decimals 4 times faster
While I am generally in favor of applying Bayesian approaches, that's overkill for this problem. In their (fictitious) example, the key problem is that they ran their test for too short a time. They already know that the typical lag from visit to conversion on their site is longer than a week, which means that if they want to learn the effect on conversions a week isn't enough data.

While it is possible to make some progress on this issue with careful math, simply running the test longer is a far more effective and robust approach.
Very cool, congrats on your launch of the game!
Non-FHS systems like Nix require a lot of per-executable environment setup. This basically means that every executable gets wrapped in some kind of shell script to perform that setup, and some things can end up wrapped multiple times. It's critical that those wrappers be able to `exec` from one to the next or your system would quickly be awash in bash processes just idling waiting for other things to exit.

My counter to that is that the common act of holding the framers (and constitution) in reverence, which you did in the comment upthread, stultifies the ability of the country to react to changing mores and needs. There's a lot of absurdity in US law and politics that simply doesn't exist in countries with more modern and/or fluid constitutions.

Suppose that the US were to create a constitution today, based on today's needs and the anticipated needs of the next 50 years. How different do you think it would look from what was written in the 18th century? (Put aside the impossibility of doing this in today's political climate, as that's not the point of the question.)

>It isn't as simple, cause you have to do more.

No? "or some metadata file format of your particular liking" is the sentence which includes "depending on your build setup it may be as simple as putting it in your cargo.toml".

Unless you disagree with the whole concept.

More importantly, adding dependencies doesn't need to be that easy given that you should focus on not having very many of them in the first place. This doesn't change the fact that it CAN be that easy.

>This glosses over support for operating systems that lack pkg-config, so in practice it is more complicated than that.

There's one system which doesn't really natively integrate well with pkg-config, that's windows, for windows the build instructions can simply be: cross compile from another operating system or build using a unix envirionment for wibdows. It's not that hard and for the average joe not willing to do this it's absolutely trivial to provide precompiled binaries.
I hear hardware vendors are scared shitless of running awful of other hardware vendor's patents. If they released their firmware, this would give other folks ammunitions to attack them in court.

Personally, I don't care much about firmware being proprietary, if it cannot be used to meaningfully change the functionality of the chip. But I do care about the chip ultimately following a public specification. I want an ISA just like x86, ARM, or RISC-V. Tell me the size and format of the ring buffer I must write to or read from, and I'll program the rest.

But even that is still too much to ask for apparently. Graphics cards are getting closer with lower level drivers like DX12 and Vulkan, but we're not quite there yet.

I'm sorry but you are missing the point. You could argue we haven't had a proper transition of power in several administrations. In Bush v. Gore we had (perhaps reasonable) concerns about the validity of the result thanks to the supreme court stepping in. When Obama took office, a significant portion of the opposition refused to believe he was even an American citizen. Trump's validity was questioned on the grounds that he was a Russian plant - a claim which was pursued with a years-long very public official investigation which yielded smoke and no fire.

My point is, this is the first time I have seen America's issues actually manifest in material ways. Political alienation is concerning, but it's not all that powerful on its own. Political alienation plus the degradation of material conditions is absolutely how wars are started.

100% this. I've commented similar elsewhere in the thread with a similar position - essentially, there's something you need to do that you're avoiding, some problem you need to resolve, and it's emotionally uncomfortable. Many of us have learned to avoid discomfort, but often times you need to go through it to make progress. It's best if you can minimise that discomfort in order to make headway, and simply breaking down what needs doing in your head can help make it less stressful.

Am i the only one who lacks the fantasy that this could become true?
Thanks for that! I will give that one a try.
True, I feel like automated systems also seem to still be pretty far behind in terms of providing useful results for certain forms of discovery, but is still pretty easy for people. Take this question and most of Ask HN, there's some pretty interesting/useful results within a few minutes. But providing a question like mine to google and most results will yield pages of "alternative search engines to google" websites, which is no where near correct, but does "sound" correct if you didn't understand the context of my question, such as, what the Internet is and what a search engine is (and isn't).

But then, I feel like it doesn't really scale super well, and doesn't always handle vagueness. For example, even of HN I doubt there will be very many quality/useful answers, simply because there's a certain kind of popularity required to get that here. Looking at something like Quora, there's too much room for non-answers and what amounts to spam. Then, there's the difficulty of being specific enough that people can answer but also do so in a timely manner (the speed of a search engine to provide simply a "close enough" result is part of its utility).

Like the bibliography suggestion, although I said practicality doesn't matter, its an example of how interesting stuff can be discovered (without asking anyone) but requires a huge amount of time (after the initial "look up") and cognitive effort (but that's a kind of curve that tapers off once one is familiar with a particular area of research).
>Mass manipulation is quite cheap and easy in the age of Facebook. You don’t think this occurs?

"Cheap and easy" != effective.

The alleged Russia intervention appears to have been on the order of several hundred thousands of dollars worth of Facebook ads. The exact figure differs depending on what sources you read, but a Pres. election operates on the scale of billions, not < 1M.

And if it is so effective, how come Mike Bloomberg, who spent some $560 Million on his election campaign, had nothing to show for it? Surely he could have hired all those Russian political campaign savants with that much money, no?

>Don’t like the result of a Presidential election and you have an army of fanatics willing to assault the Capitol then you may have them do so with impunity.

An army of... unarmed fanatics? The wanna-be insurrectionists killed nobody, there were no weapons brandished in the Capitol. Do you want people to take seriously a claim that around a 1000 unarmed men are enough to overthrow the most militarized and powerful government in the history of mankind?

The Feds were also well aware of it, just type into any search engine "NYT Jan 6 informants".

>Republican jurors

Republican jurors in DC, that voted 93% for Clinton in 2016? Really?

This is the line of thinking that lead good people, but who consumed too much media, to believe that Jussie Smollett really was really assaulted in the dead of night in very blue Chicago in freezing temperatures by Trump supporters with a noose and bleach, yelling "This is MAGA country". At some point you have to rely on Occam's Razor and start questioning the most basic of premises without being afraid of appearing a conspiracy nut.

> Capone was never charged with murder.

Yes, but those who carried out his orders were. And if a murder takes place there's a body, or if the body was moved or disposed of, there's at least evidence of struggle or evidence that the victim was at the crime scene. And there is also evidence that the criminals were at the crime scene at the time the crime itself took place.
cute, since I rarely use bitcoin and avoid that particular cryptocurrency network due its worse, decade old, user experience
It didn't stop those miners, it just forced them to move out of China (mostly to the US). And it clearly did temporarily stop it as that was happening, as a look at any bitcoin hashrate graph[1] will show, because it halved shortly after the ban was announced.

And according to the University of Cambridge, that has a bitcoin electricity consumption index tracker, they have a visualization of the countries contributing the most to the hashrate, and you can see China go down to basically zero in July 2021 and stay that way (see the 'Evolution of network hashrate' chart[2]).

The 8086 was the first microprocessor UNIX was ported to. Maybe unsurprising as the first 16 bit processor that could address more than 64 KB of RAM. 8086 segmentation was and is much-lamented, but it did enable a poor man's form of virtual memory. If the user process never touched the segment registers, the OS could move allocated code, stack and data blocks in RAM around transparently to the process. It also allows every process to assume it starts at address 0.

...but GPT3 doesn't seem to have some inner monologue. It is just flat unable to recall context or understand the environment.

The only opportunity I had to chat with GPT3 I said hi, and then asked how old it was. GPT3 gave me some answer about how it was created in 2016 but it keeps evolving. I said wow that's pretty young. GPT3 says yes I am young, but learning fast. I then asked GPT3 at what point would it consider itself old. GPT3 says 10 years ago, maybe 20 or 30 years ago. I respond to GPT3 with confusion. GPT3 then starts talking about Bitcoin. Literally.

The same goes for credit data; you (largely) can't run a credit check on me without my permission.

This is an HR service to ease the burden of legitimate requests for employment or salary data that you, as an employee, request.

More logically, employers wouldn't want other companies to be able to access their payroll information for competitive reasons.

My terrible plan for reducing opioid deaths
You are correct. Just like the US was targeting military installations in Moscow, etc that had millions of civilians and USSR was targeting US cities that had millions of civilians.

I'm just saying that it was not actually something that people "found out" after the cold war and it wasn't specific to the Baltic nations nor the US or USSR. All nuclear capable superpowers had set potential targets which would have killed tens of millions of civilians. Singling out some of the countries occupied by the USSR (Estonia/Latvia/Lithuania) is minimizing the situation IMO :)
The effect will be blunted because in the US we have AC and a fairly robust national power grid so the number of people affected will be limited to poor and houseless people who we're already very good at ignoring suffering from. We've already had pretty bad heat waves in the past that have caused dozens of deaths in a day but they're diffuse and not in one giant group so they're easy to ignore like COVID, heart attack, and general poverty deaths.
Including the issues?
I wonder if there is a way to pollute the data. Since I always click the captchas correctly, what happens if someone just randomly clicks stuffs? Is he/she banned from the website?
We do something similar -- here's a dataset, give us a cli/api/library that finds things in it, and give us a run through of what/how you did. It's shallow enough that you can do it in 10 lines of code, deep enough that you could build a business around it (with more/better data). We have a rubric of about 15 things that are successively more rare/good approaches (ranging from "returns some data" to "successful approach I haven't seen before") , and 3 that are anti-points.

The thing that I find the most useful are the responses I get when I point something out and ask "why did you take this approach" or "what would you do to go faster" or if there's a bug, "I don't think this is doing what you want it to".

I absolutely grade this on a curve -- Entry level and data science backgrounds almost always go to pandas right off, front end people will be focused more on the UI side of it. But if you're senior and come at me with an O(N) or O(N^2) solution then I'm going to really want to know what you have to say about the performance question.
The problem is that the definition of 'unavailable' or 'unviable' can quickly expand to include more or less anything. Have to wait a week for the film to be available in your area? It's not available on your chosen streaming service? The file costs a dollar more than you want to pay or doesn't come with the full set of download rights you want? People use all of these and more as excuses for pirating. If a programme owner wants to charge $10 a month to view their one show that's their right, and audiences have a wide range of free or cheaper alternatives to choose from if they don't want to pay it.

Unsurprisingly, HN being full of people who've got rich off Web 2.0 tech that profits from the spread of piracy and its resulting products (ultra cheap streaming at the expense of artists and creators), plus enjoyed tons of cheap/free digital goods and entertainment over the years, has a hive mind that considers all this perfectly ok

* 1. Very few “evil schemes” exist in reality because people aren’t all that clever (and all that evil)*

Uh, no. That is a very common technique commonly used the last 15 years.

Many products have different parts, such as different types for display panels in different revisions. So a very common tactic is to only release the one with the superior part at first.

And a few weeks/months later all the reviews have been written or at least have sourced their review sample you start pushing the cheaper version.

Mobile phones, computer displays, TVs etc. suffer from this. Perhaps less so nowadays because most of those critical components are specified in the spec. sheet.
