Meh, I usually just ignore the stuff about famous people reviews on the book, the formatting and the prerequisites, when I am interested about a topic, I get the book, don't understand something, research about it with the help of other resources, I am more likely to use a book as a starting point to incrementally learn something in order, more than the only source of truth, so I get on internet often while reading

Since we're at it, I hate the fact that books have started being sold like apples by weight and based on the amount of pages, so that it's like I feel during the past few years I've had insanely long books repeating the same shit over and over with authors without any capability to express a concept directly and just walking around a point with low expression skills. I think writing a book right now has become more of a PR exercise for people, rather than something being done by people who have actually learned how to write

Sometimes I just find myself in the middle of a page talking with a book, thinking "Wtf mate you just fcking said that, can you just get to the fcking point already?"
Cconsider that some people don't have that kind of luxury; their living room and bedroom are one and the same. Mine are.
Yes, but the size of the blatter would be enourmous for 250 claimed tonnes: 1 m^3 of air weights 1.21 kg, so if to reach neutral buoyancy you use helium (0.18 kg / m^3) or vacuum (0 kg / m^3, best case), then to counteract lifting/releasing of just one tonne (1000kg) you need to offset 833 m^3 with vacuum and 970 m^3 with helium. Having blatter inside and having such high expension requirements means that the vehicle effectively needs two shells, which will add weight and complexity. Stretchable main "ballon" might be simpler.
I looks like they tether it to the ground with tension cables to weights or piles when they are lifting very heavy loads. If this was replacing a standard construction crane that would be economic as these things often have their own significant foundations. If it's a piled foundation for a building it's not uncommon to put extra piles in where you will have cranes. Maybe smaller loads can be done with bladders as others have suggested. You only have to lift 25 tonnes to beat the MI-26 which is the biggest heavy lift chopper and hard to get hold of.
It allows for tracking users since the second half of your address is always constant. It's a fixed problem though since basically all consumer devices these days use privacy extension addresses, which don't expose your MAC address and periodically change to a new random IP address
In case she is open to discussing this, it's a fairly common problem. It can be resolved by finding another source of praise, for example volunteer work or teaching, or exceeding in extra activities in her field. She is not needing new clothes but attention, and there are healthy ways to achieve that. Experience: my own (as a woman) and various friends over the years.
Nice, thanks for sharing. Can you make a gist as well of this? I think Google and other search engines index public gists better than they do HN posts, will def help those searching around for a solution.
Of course they do! For my Bulgarian papers i was asked to spell my name in latin script however i wanted, and when i moved to France I was asked how is my name spelled, and i could change it if i want to (e.g. if i had an s in my name between vowels, in French it'd be read as z; in that case i could have changed the spelling to have ss, which is always read as s).
Replace the word Robinhood with S&P 500 and you have yourself a nice article explaining what happened 2 years from now.
Prestige in working for Facebook? I guess ethics isn't a thing for the op in their social circle.
Yes, the desktop client is a complete pain, I have to join a zoom call with a client every few months and for that I have to install a security hold riddled client.

Everything else just opens in my browser where I'm doing 70% of my work anyway, and every random place I visit is secured in it's box
The Huberman lab podcast put a number to it: you want a 15% failure rate for optimal learning. It’s a good podcast. He’s a neuroscientist at Stanford, so it’s not mushy pop-sci.
The existence of volatile is a strong argument that was never the intention that C should map every pointer dereference at the source level to load and stores at the asm level.
Maybe because they put their needs before yours?
I think the sweet spot is 80% familiar content mixed with 20% new. If you are confronted with chapters that are 100% alien to you, then it's very hard to understand anything from it and you might just lose the reader.
There is a lot of income inequality, and even the homeless are getting vaccinated.

To see high income not getting vaccinated and losing their job because of it has a bit of a sweet taste. Not to mention the anti-woke and political sentiment which you often hear from conservatives.
I remember having this feeling very early on in my career trying to learn about curl and finding it terribly frustrating. Then later when I next needed to work on it, things just seemed to click. It's a feeling I don't have as often these days but still incredibly satisfying.
Then why did you use 1804 repositories from Nvidia?
Do you think that’s what GGP meant (or others would most naturally read) in the phrase “I’d be in favor of mandatory pre-nups”? I do not.
Unfortunately, that requires exercising your say ahead of time, through contraception, vasectomy, or the radical step of making sure that your long-term goals are aligned with those of your partner.
Ironically C++ can be faster than Rust in practice, because the ecosystem embraces binary libraries, so unless one is doing crazy stuff with Boost, C++ manages to have clean builds that are faster than Rust's clean builds.
A lot of math textbooks are like this and people’s perception around them.

To be fair Axler’s linear algebra book states it’s for a second semester course in linear algebra but many math people recommend it as a first exposure to the subject to someone that doesn’t know any linear algebra anyway. Technically the only prerequisite is an exposure to proofs and mathematical thinking.

But the book doesn’t like determinants and isn’t focused on computing things around matrices and is instead focused on finite dimensional vector spaces and so on.

To someone that doesn’t even know what a matrix is but have seen some basic proofs it’d be hard for them to pick up and understand Axler in its fullest depth despite the prerequisites just being “math maturity”. Axler assumes you know a lot more than he writes, or assumes you’ll figure it quickly.

Same can be said for Rudin’s basic analysis book. Technically anyone can pick it up and go through it with minimum pre-reqs. But without a tutor or someone to answer questions most beginners would get stuck somewhere.

Also it’s a thing these books don’t tend to include any solutions so without someone checking your work or a proof assistant then most beginners wouldn’t have a clue if their proofs are valid or contain a subtle mistake or would think they’re valid but be incorrect.
This doesn't happen. The energy is not close enough to shoot things far enough up that they will not decay. On this altitude Kessler Syndrome is so close to impossible as to be a non issue.

Oneweb is 1000x more dangerous compared to Starlink but that not by Musk so nobody cares.

Apparently, all purchases, etc vanish. Or are not transferable at least. It is a little unclear.

I say Google is uncaring, but just wow. Wow.
Let's say you have a book about a programming language; writing this in a way that anyone can follow – even those have never programmed before – would substantially increase the size of the book, as well as make it harder to follow for more experienced readers, since they will need to cut through all the stuff explaining the basics (loops, types, variables, etc.) in ways that a beginner can understand to get at the stuff they're actually interested in.

Your approach works well for fairly short/simple concepts (although even in your article, there's a lot of assumed knowledge), but it gets harder the longer or more deep the content becomes.

As for the posted article, I never had this problem. I suspect the author just bought badly written books; there are many of those, unfortunately.
As an academic, I'm uncomfortable with the idea that students are consumers. This impinges upon the autonomy of academics and potentially lowers standards. But in the UK, this has been coming for a while.

So it is huge, but well within historic capabilities - and materials science has come a long way since then. I'm quietly hopeful for this.
I'll try to say this in a polite way, but if you're presenting dungarees as an example of a good purchase, explaining fashion simply isn't possible. It's like trying to explain to a typical old woman born and raised in rural Belarus the value of a a fine set of chopsticks, or a Mormon the value of a fine coffee grinder. Your reason for buying clothes is completely fine--but it's not at all what motivates people who partake in this problem.

For younger people, fashion is a way to show off to people or be comfortable in various situations. It's much easier to spend $150 on a set of new clothes to try impressing a date than it is to try impressing someone with your car like people may've tried decades ago. And trends change often these days, so people change their clothes often as well.

I'm not defending it. I buy one pair of pants and one or two shirts a year. But it's not a thing you're ever going to "logic and reason" people out of.
reinterpret_cast comes up a lot when handling binary protocols - e.g. reading a message struct off a buffer / packet. How would this be handled in Rust or otherwise without copying the data?
I would love to see a video.
Once an item of clothing wears out too much to wear in public, I wear it around the house or sleep in it. During the pandemic I've rarely had to wear `decent' clothes. On video calls I just temporarily put on a non-worn-out top over whatever I'm wearing.

Unfortunately I do have to buy replacement footwear quite regularly (50+ miles on foot per week). But a worn out pair of shoes does for working in the garden, and worn socks as slippers round the house.

So, eventually, my clothes end up in UK landfill, once they are too worn out even for me (which can be after decades).
If you’re dealing with pure data, reinterpret_cast/mem::transmute is fine, and for certain types of low-level code, necessary. In Rust, I’ve recently discovered the “bytemuck” crate, which offers ways to do that safely.
What do you mean by "training"?

I've never done a ten finger / touch typing course or something like that (so, no training) and don't have problems typing 130 WPM 98-100% accuracy in one of these typing tests without specifically practicing typing tests. I don't have ten working fingers.
> To be sure, the availability of inexpensive clothes isn’t entirely a bad thing. In a country like South Africa, where more than half of people live below the poverty line, demand remains brisk, and some Western castoffs have become wardrobe staples for people who might not be able to afford new clothes.

Ah...not quite. The problem is, these leftovers from The West ultimately undermine the local economy. So, for example, locals can't work in a local clothing factory because there's no market. That market is already monopolized by much more inexpensive donation clothes.
Ok, so after reading it (and with some background in Biochemistry :) ) :

DNA can form structures other than just the classical 'helix' shape. For example a
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-quadruplex which form at the end of the helix.

This paper shows that deleting one 'TET' gene (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TET_enzymes) leads to an increase in certain types of cancer. The protein encoded by that gene removes methyl (-CH3) groups from DNA, in a process called demethylation.

The 'opposite' process of methylation, in this case, is performed by the enzyme DNMT1 - and if you delete both TET and DNMT1 genes, there are less of these non-helical DNA structures and less cancer.

So the conclusion is that an imbalance between metylation and demethylation of the DNA can lead to cancer.
Maybe such books could provide recommendations for a good book as prerequisite?

E.g. "this book is for 2nd semester linalg, if you're not at that level yet or <whatever> we recommend <book X which can be assumed a baseline by this one>"

I always figured it was the popularity of tea in the UK.

Electric Kettles are (or were) ubiquitous when I grew up in Canada and the US. They take a little longer to heat up, but you’re talking 3-4 min instead of 1-2.

My friend got me a gift of a hot water dispenser like they use in Asia and I’ve never looked back. On demand hot water? Even waiting a min for a kettle to warm seems like a burden. They use very little electricity since they are well insulated.
Directx for everything to make things fast and to get nvenc hardware encoding.

Imgui and juce are great frameworks.
It's not really a problem in v6 either. Most OSs ship with privacy extensions enabled.

Information is created and can be destroyed.
In my experience, reading a single number is a much much much more common operation than doing lexical analysis.
Using it on my note 3. Little Buggy. I need to perform adb commands to fix delayed sms and non working gps in google maps when I apply an update. You look in the forums, its supposely fixed. Other than that its rock solid and I can still use an almost decade old phone like its 2022. Still waiting for the next equivalent in terms of hardware build and future-proof features. Back in the days the note 3 had much bigger ram (3gb) and 4k video. So now I will switch when I see 8k, 12gb and night photo that doesn’t look like AI dulled crap but actual pixels. Hoping the galaxy 22 ultra will be the one. Note 20 was close.
Yeah 250 tonnes is a lot.

Not sure if there is an alternative to helium or hydrogen, like maybe a void container, but it would still be heavy.

I guess they will suffer from bad press if they can't prove this can work. Easy to lie to investors but unless they have a prototype, I'm still very skeptical.
I think some of the weirdness is that orchestra musicians at the very least demonstrate skill reflective of the job, and doctors and lawyers only have to get the license once. Software is in this weird category of interviewing being it’s own technical domain that needs dedicated study, of which no amount of experience or prior success graduates you from.

Additionally, I find the logic behind this strange. It implies that just because some people can afford to sacrifice that this setup isn’t discriminatory. But the criticism is that some demographics are disproportionately unable to sacrifice. Discriminatory doesn’t mean no on in that demographic is able to afford to dedicate whatever resources towards the thing. In fact systems of discrimination often work better when there’s a model minority or “one of the good ones” that can be pointed to as an example as to why a discriminatory system isn’t really a problem.
It feels valid to me. Redis might be a good example. They had to write their own string library (sds) to make a cache server.
Containers are not good for security updates.

docker also adds a big attack surface.
It's a summary of a particular paper, but it is not really written for a general audience. From a quick read I'd summarize it as follows:

We know that if a group of specific enzymes (TET) are disabled for some reason, you have increased cancer rates. We also know that in some cancers you observe unusual structures in the DNA called G-quadruplexes and R-loops, which are different from the usual double-helix. We also know that these unusual DNA structures destabilize the genome, leading to more mutation which in turn leads to more cancer.

What this paper showed that disabling these specific TET enzymes lead to an increase in these unusual DNA structures and to cancer. So it establishes the causal relationship between the lack of these enzymes and the unusual DNA structures.

What I find interesting is that the function of the TET enzymes we know, demethylation of DNA doesn't have anything direct to do with the formation of G-quadruplexes or R-loops.
When you say group of people, do you mean a small subset of people? Because I don't want that either. I want ALL of us to collectively choose a group of people that we consider better or more interesting than us in some way, or at least people worth listening to(or filtering the people not worth listening to)

"with hatred, judgment, racism, white supremacy, etc."

That's also why I want some carefully chosen people to be able to veto some people from registering, especially to block racists or other type of discrimination.

When you say 1% do you mean the richest 1%? That's not what I want either, there has been some attempts at that, and it sounds really lame.(like the "best of all worlds" social network)

The top 1% of thinkers, artists, change-makers and innovators doesn't seem that bad to me.

What do you think of things like the Solvay Conference? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvay_Conference
It's probably one of the most elitist gatherings on earth, is it a bad thing?
or just very smart people working on and talking about complicated problems?

Or maybe(although it's likely more controversial), TED talks?
If all the people who ever made Ted Talks got their own subreddit and started talking publicly in their free time I think it'd yield some interesting results.

Teaching is also elitist, but is it a bad thing that the only the best of us should be able to teach?(or at least be legitimate in that area)
Portugal, right up in the northeastern corner. We ended up here after doing a few laps of the globe considering different low cost of living countries in which to reside, and with regards Portugal specifically, after looking at Centro and the south and deciding it was already heaving with off-gridders and had commensurately rising prices, we went to the part of the map where there’s supposedly nothing, and no property for sale, and drove around asking people what was available. We found here through a chat with a guy in a café, and as we paid cash (€30k for 15ha, the mill (which has a habitation license), and a ruined outbuilding) we completed within 48 hours of shaking on it. We are “The Foreigners”, as this is an area that seems to have been completely overlooked - our member of Parliament came to visit us a few weeks after we moved here, and has proven a handy ally - “It’s your land, you build whatever you want”, she happily put in writing. There are advantages in moving to an area that everyone else is abandoning.

There are sites (idealista, olx, pureportugal) which can give you a good idea of what’s available, but really the best way is to go pound the ground, and look for hand-painted for sale signs, and to talk to village people.
It's typically called 'dead cat' PR. I don't think Boris deserves any particular credit.
bgfx is definitely a competitor in that sense. However, it doesn't have the same backing, is not standardized, and would have a hard time building momentum due to that.

I'm mostly thinking of indie game devs who decide to write their games from scratch (which still happens, though it's becoming rare), or up-and-coming game engines such as Bevy. They might not have a team who can spend the time optimizing Vulkan (while also making sure MoltenVK runs it fine, if they want to target MacOS), and might prefer something more modern than OpenGL.

>WebGPU since it limits what you can do and gets in the way

Does it do that more than OpenGL ever did though?
Batteries last 3-4 years and can already be very hard to get hold off after that time. I had a tough time sourcing a genuine replacement battery for my 4 year old X1 Carbon. It's a shame as otherwise the user replaceable battery would be a huge advantage over e.g. a MacBook.
I'm not sure exactly what you're referencing, as that seems a general topic you've linked to, but one of the articles I see at that link says that basically electrolizers are expensive enough that you need to be utilizing them at a high rate in order for it to make sense, and I think that's still true.

> In case of PtG applications, electrolyzer utilization becomes a key parameter. To illustrate the resulting utilization of electrolyzers when run on “surplus” electricity alone it is helpful to plot the residual load duration curves for different penetration levels of intermittent renewables.21Figure 11.4 depicts two typical residual load duration curves for a 30% and 80% share of generation from intermittent renewables of total electricity demand.
Everything in C++ is just there to solve a weird interaction between <feature that’s in your codebase> and <feature that’s also in your codebase>. The “just learn a subset” crowd is wrong, you really do need to know everything.
I think, the main issue is, most people don't write for an audience, they write to write.

I reviewed a bunch of technical books from a big publisher, and they were overwhelmingly bad.

Some of the authors have written like 8 books about AWS or K8s and still their books didn't reflect that they gained any experience in writing.

But yeah, it's obviously a good career move to write a book. If you're a published author for 5 K8s books, you have to have some skills, right?
1 bedroom apartments go for closer to $700 or even as low as $400ish in Dayton just an hour and a half south of Columbus. Even here though housing prices are skyrocketing, so that won't be the case for long. Prices in Columbus are going to be absolutely ridiculous once this fab opens unless housing prices plummet for other reasons.
We don't actually lose the night sky. That literally not a thing.

Some very few scientific instruments will have slightly higher cost of operations.

99.99999% of people will never notice anything.

Can we stop being so dramatic?
It's not that clear unfortunately. Consider that all-cause death rate is a lot higher in the under-40s vaccinated than the under-40s unvaccinated (UK recently released stats on this):

https://bartram.substack.com/p/the-impact-of-time-on-non-cov...

That simply shouldn't be happening. The death rate gets 4x higher over last summer, it's an enormous difference. Even if you think there's some statistical or other problem causing this it cannot be said things are "clear" when such basic data has gone in the wrong direction.
JS and Elm are at two ends of the spectrum. Typescript is a very nice middle ground. It’s nearly as fast as JS for prototyping, but is much nicer for maintaining. It’s not 100% type safe, but it’s good enough for me. Refactoring and tooling (autocomplete, etc) are really nice in Typescript and beat the pants off JS.
I heard the actor Brendan Fraser got completely screwed by the alimony system.

He was ordered to pay 50k a month (900k a year) for 10 years. Not even many wealthy would be able to handle that type of alimony.
Yes. Also, I was unable to find any information about the gas itself. The word "helium" isn't found on the website, they only mention "LTA"... Using helium could probably not be called green or sustainable, as it's not a renewable resource on earth, AFAIK.
Of course we are, if we would spend the money.
