To me this is a good reminder of our brain's weird ability to take any abstract thing, use it over and over to figure out some common rules, and translate it into a model which uses the good old physical-world concepts we're used to reasoning about.

The consequence is, I don't think there is a 'right' visualization for numbers. You either have an exact model of mathematics in your brain, or you have some approximation thereof, which by definition has to be wrong in some way (but is easier to get / reason about). There is only one true model (if we all agree to use the same axioms, etc), but an infinite amount of approximations, which make them each unique. Fun to think about.
IQ testing studies aren't the kind that fail to reproduce. The replication crisis is with other kinds of studies.

In a lot of places near expensive cities, that assumption is pretty valid.
Where do you see genuine surprise? Like, you made that up.

However, I see a lot of ingenuine surprise over, like, right-next country accepting refugees from country just across the border. The very same people who would cry hypocrisy of the refugees were not accepted (you demand surrounding countries in other conflicts to accept refugees).

I see a lot of blaming America for Russian actions, in Ukraine and of Russian actions in Syria too.

Yes but then let's use R for "ja" :) This language seems like someone coming from cyrylic wanted to use latin letters, it's not good for Slavic languages that already used latin letters.
> It’s called a Hardware Description Language. According to my textbooks, they’re the industry standard

So when confronted with a faulty circuit board with multimeter in hand and bench power supply on stand-by, you are looking at VHDL like this

Library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

entity mux is
port(S1,S0,D0,D1,D2,D3:in bit; Y:out bit);
end mux;

architecture data of mux is
begin
Y<= (not S0 and not S1 and D0) or
(S0 and not S1 and D1) or
(not S0 and S1 and D2) or
(S0 and S1 and D3);
end data;

to figure out which components might be broken when there's a buck converter that gets no power or where the capacitor is located that should smooth out incoming voltage on a certain bus. Yeah, sure.

> You can do plots in unicode. And more importantly, the code that produces the plot is plain text.

So you're one of those people who don't listen to electronic music and prefers to read the parameters of the VCAs, LFOs and VCFs instead? After all it's just code that produces the sound waves in the end, no?

> Pretty much anything regular can be done better with a plain text source that subsequently compiles to more visual mediums.

And again we're back to data storage vs representation. I'm interested in the representation, not the storage format.

If you're one of those geniuses that can squint at a quintic formula and say - yep, there's a local maximum at about x=-9.7513, more power to you. The rest of us prefer a curve.
You made two statements contradicting all reporting made outside of Russia. There's nothing to substantiate it as truth, including your link, which says nothing of the kind.

Edit: This is a joke based on TV series Chernobyl. A Chernobyl reactor did infact explode and the logic was that it exploding was impossible there for it did not explode.
I feel like Gregoire in Berkeley hits that spot. Ordinary food, for takeout, prepared really well.

What kind of sick mind one needs to have, to push this anti nuclear bullshit when the real issue is a fucking fascist invasion of Russia into Ukraine? For fucks sake..
Why don't you just not buy Nvidia hardware?
I think a ban on buying and selling crypto might just be good for the cryptocoin ecosystem. The whole idea of cryptocurrency idealists is that it replaces cash transactions, so if there is any value in the system besides pure speculation, the crypto coins should still work as advertised. Services can still accept the coin and goods can be sold for the coin, but you can't launder money through crypto networks anymore.

It's crazy how banks are willing to scrutinise anything related to sex work to an extreme extent yet seem perfectly willing to support the latest weekly pump and dump by letting people exchange money for cryptocurrency at random exchanges.
I think Nvidia has to accept that all that stuff is no longer secret, and work from there. They would be nuts to comply with the demands and I'm sure Lapsus$ knows that but it's good publicity for them (Lapsus$).
The sad thing is that this obviously manufactured reality, combined with a long history of oppression and betrayal, has eroded any national pride among a significant slice of population. For years we survived in a state of having emotionally given up on the country, state of mild cognitive dissonance, seeing those who genuinely cared labeled by the authorities as 'foreign agents'.

To fight now is to fight against the system and against your fellow citizens, your friends and classmates imbued with nostalgia about the USSR by their parents.

And what will this fight be for?

Would you definitely see the Western system, that erodes the environment and feeds people microplastics in the name of maximising shareholder value, as the obvious "side of the light"[0]?

Once you have been betrayed enough times, can you really go all in and believe that whoever rises to power thanks to your fight will act in your interests (maintaining freedom and democracy, not abusing power) thereafter?

[0] I happen to believe that capitalism is fundamentally the best form of peaceful cooperation and abuses of it can be regulated, but I can't count the hours I spent in philosophical arguments making my point to lucid, independently thinking friends.
> It's a purely defensive alliance that, somehow, keeps expanding to the East.

It keeps expanding, because countries further east wants protection from Russia aggression too. There is nothing contra intuitive or shocking about it. Presence of large aggressor in the region makes other countries want to enter the aliance. Duh.
I meant to be ambiguous, and start an interesting and wider-ranging discussion. I was, at best, modestly successful

No one seemed interested in the "what might be done, within existing resources and sensitivities, for the more promising poor & unwanted children?" angle. Admittedly, few folks on HN are likely to recall Dr. Swift's subtitle, or care much about helping the poor & huddle masses, yearning...
Yes, that shows that the time could theoretically be roughly halved without even bothering to transmit in a medium with faster propagation than glass fiber.
What's the problem with old but excellent Mac apps?
All depends on what part of the game you consider:

Level geometry is indeed 2D (or rather 2D projectable without intersection, hence the 2.5D moniker)

Gameplay though, is 3D, and actually hampered by not being able to look up down, which for shooting was compensated by vertical auto-aim. There are many places where it's hard to see the enemies above or below, or even where you're going to go/navigate. Luckily the level design is usually nicely done and usually caters for that with enough room space to kinda see things and/or elevators but there are a couple of areas that can be especially tricky or frustrating.
I recently had a bout of tinnitus (took me a while to identify the high pitched whine!) which was cleared up by sound generators on https://mynoise.net/ ... I guess that qualifies as stimulation of auditory nerves.

From comments here, my impression as a completely non-Slavic speaker, is that Slovio is more artificial, designed to be easy to learn by non-Slavic speakers and still somewhat understandable by all Slavic speakers, whereas Interslavic is much closer to a real Slavic language, but might be harder to learn for non-Slavic speakers.

Does that make sense?
lol have you looked at brave.com its all pink
Except there is nothing "fair" about this. In all fairness these crypto-bros could buy the cards specifically made for mining, but they won't because they don't have any resale value.

Only reason they are buying GPUs is that they can run it until something better comes to market and still sell it to some gamer who is actually going to use the hardware for its intended purpose.

More power to Nvidia. If I could make the decision the hashrate of any cryptomining on gaming cards would be 0. Let the crypto-bros buy the crypto cards and leave the gaming cards for people who are actually going to enjoy them.
If it's iOS devices, the iOS version of Charles proxy is really easy to set up (no computer needed). You can export and send of the capture for later viewing in the desktop app.
Pipedrive | Lead Engineers | Prague, Czech Republic | ONSITE or REMOTE in Czech Republic/Czechia

Pipedrive is a SaaS visual sales tool for small to medium businesses. We’ve been valued at $1,5B in 2020 and are experiencing rapid growth. Our 300 strong engineering team is now located in five countries, building the sales tool used by over 100k companies.

I am very happy with the maturity of the processes here and the autonomy our team in Prague is having. We are getting a lot of support from the company while still being able to innovate and fully own our part of the product.

I am looking for Lead Engineers to join my product team in Prague. Our stack is TypeScript, Node.js, React, GraphQL, Docker, MySQL, k8s, ... We expect some experience with that but the main thing is the cultural fit. We are looking for team players.

The job is:
- 50% hands-on coding, reviewing and architecture design
- 50% team leadership, mentoring and other people related activities - no direct people management though

Please ping me an email at jakub.kadlubiec@pipedrive.com if you want to chat about the opportunity. Please note that we can offer relocation assistance only to senior candidates. I am an engineering manager not a recruiter.

> With COVID, all those Western big babies referring to masks as muzzles, nappies etc. and shouting about "muh freedom".

It's that idiotic macho posturing crap, as is all too often the case. There are always muppets pooh-poohing even basic precautions like safety glasses because they're "sissy stuff." Well, you'll cry like a sissy when a metal chip from the grinder flies into your eye. Earplugs fit right into that category.
That is BS. Government coming upon you for the "war" is exactly a statement one has to make in such situation if one is really against that war. Especially that the government just can't chase everybody uttering the word, and there are a lot of such people.

> I highly doubt they wouldn't have found another way to purchase a car, though

There was no cash. ATMs we’re dry.

> boon cryptocurrencies have been to criminals and con artists

It is probably overstated.

Orders of magnitude more criminal activity would be going through cash and even orgs that are meant to KYC, such as Western Union or even iTunes gift certificates. How many grannies are sending crypto vs providing logins to their bank accounts?

I’m not a crypto-apologist, I just haven’t heard any solid arguments against it that can’t also be said about cash or the traditional banking system.
That works well in Haskell, which turns literals into rationals (pairs of big integers) and calls an overloaded function fromRational on them implicitly. But Python can't do this kind of inference to give you a nice syntax, so I think this "sensible default behavior" would be a huge pain for users.

(Also, "correctness" seems like the wrong word: making rationals the default type would give you perfectly precise literals, but you'd immediately lose that once you perform almost any operation on them.)
Ukrainian is eastern Slavic though?

As a speaker of Polish (western Slavic) reasonably familiar with Ukrainian I find InterSlavic and madzuslovanski (or whatever it's spelled) much better than this Slavio.
Have you tried the on-device iOS version of Charles proxy? I use it all the time and find it handier than any computer based solution.
You’re probably not wrong.
That sounds like a really clever way to die or get someone killed.
I have been coding some time in C (and some of that doing kernel drivers), and I don't think I've ever found "unhelpfully unpredictable" behavior in regular code. The "coding standard" that gets rid of those is "if it looks weird, it goes away". I've seen quite a lot of talk about the problems of undefined behavior but I haven't actually faced those problems in the wild.
There's a claim being made without sources, of course there's going to be some skepticism.

Instead of going "this is LITERALLY 1984", why not provide a source yourself to back it up? You're being defensive and going ad hominem, claiming oppression and censorship instead of supporting a claim which should take ten seconds of googling.

I did that, can't find a source. If you can find evidence that the Ukranians destroyed it themselves and it's being censored, then come back to this comment section. Until then, probably better for everyone's sanity to accept the limited information as true for now.
Yes I agree with you, “with better education” everything would be better but…not all the “ordinary people” must know these things, some people know some things, some people know other things but people who know this stuff should tell/invite our legislators to build better laws.

It should be in everyone's interest.
It feels strange that amongst all the destruction and loss of life that I should feel upset that this big plane got destroyed but here we are.
There is something to be said here for individuals burning electricity to get back some of the extreme purchase cost of their GPU. It won't cover the entire difference between a normal listing price and what you actually pay for a GPU these days, but it helps a little.

If you're a gamer and you've bought a 3070 then you can earn back quite a bit of your spendings by brute forcing some crypto calculations when you're not gaming. It'll wear out the GPU a bit faster but all in all it's probably a decent deal.
I wanted to use mind maps when I first learned about them (when I found out I was dsylexic in later life and told I would be a visual learner), and sometimes I do, but not often. Certainly my hand written notes are full of arrows, circles, boxes, etc; linking things across the page(s).

My issue with mind maps, as it is with other things like concept maps, is that until you know the whole subject, and all the points you're going to need, you waste time drawing, and redrawing them; because you've missed something or you need to link a node to another that's on the other side of the web of lines.

I find that if the thing I'm making a mind map about is simple enough to show on a mind map I can usually write the same thing as a simple (nested) list.

Obviously I might be missing the point. I'd love to be proven wrong.
I think the success is partly accidental - when these schools started, traditional schools were often militaristic in style and with a focus on obedience and listening in silence.

Montessori schools emphasised interaction and discovery using the simple tools of the day, like tools and toys.

In todays school, the kids are often overstimulated by our current multi-media world. Montessori schools provide a calmer environment.

So my pet theory is that they started out as stimulating under-stimulated kids, and today are calming down over-stimulated kids.
I don't speak any Slavic language, but I can make a reasonable guess at what the first half of that sentence means. Starting with the word "jazika" I have no idea anymore.
Putin has never claimed that the Jews in Ukraine are Nazis.

He is claiming that the Neo-Nazi units of the Ukrainian military operating in the south of the country, who harbor Nazi tattoos and whose flags represent the Black Sun and the rune used as the symbol of the "Das Reich" SS division, are probably Nazis. The Australian terrorist Brenton Tarrant mentioned, in his manifesto, that he had visited those guys.

Last year a UN resolution was motioned to condemn Nazism and Neo-Nazism. Only two countries voted against: the United States and Ukraine.

This doesn't justify any war of aggression, of course, but you cannot pretend that there is no Nazi problem in Ukraine either.

Of course he is not claiming that the Jews in the government in Kiev are Nazis, because that would be absurd, but it's pretty clear that they are tolerating Nazis in the military for very cynical reasons (they're actually very effective fighters and are employed to fight the separatists in the Donbass region).
Great, personally I'd prefer to properly format letters (DIN 5008-B, anyone) without the need for invisible tables. Insert graphics without them looking like the page did not load correctly and have some sort of macro, variable system to make proper use of templates. Also, I'd love to upload my company's fonts or something a simple as proper numbering in lists with lists in them, but that probably just me trying to use their business product as an actual business user.

Docs largely feels like an abandoned product, newer features don't address actual issues people have. They just add nice to haves that I could use if it wasn't so embarrassing to use docs in the first place.
The Police Union and the Teacher's Union have certainly been reported to be responsible for making it hard to fire people.
Still sounds a lot less serious than when we invaded Iraq using the lie that they had biological weapons. We caused hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. We bombed the country to hell indiscriminately.

The AN-225 was in a category of its own. In fact, the Dreamlifter was modified to fit components for the 787, but it actually has a lower max takeoff weight (803k lbs) than the original 747 it came from (875k lbs).

Meanwhile, the Beluga XL only has a max takeoff weight of 500k lbs.

The AN-225 had a max takeoff weight of 1.4m lbs.
Isn't that like only 2-3 out of all Slavic languages and not the biggest ones?

Also, it would just make it harder to type on current layouts.

Ah yes, how to forget the mystic websites that have stock for more than 30 secs or the physical store that you don't need to line hours before and be in 10 telegram channels to know that.
As a spectator on this war, I can't completely agree on what he wrote in this blog. But his excessive hatred to Russia is understandable: his home country is being invaded and he will possibly lost his homeland or become a slave to Russia. Many other countries have been invaded or colonized for long time as well in history. Such terrible memories of a nation will be written in history textbooks and graven in its people's mind.
It’d be real interesting to do an analysis of the last mile power usage of the credit card networks / banking system. I wonder if the giant volume and ubiquity of credit card terminals tips the scales.
It's not clear whether it truly was destroyed by Russian airstrikes. The plane was based on the Gostomel airport, which got captured by the Russian airborn forces in the early days of the invasion. The news of destruction begun after the Ukrainian forces tried to retake the airport.
There is quite a bit of difference between someone caring about what is, to them, a significant inconvenience, which is I think what you are describing with those who send angry missives about services, and those who nitpick everything constantly, in many small complaints, like the overly needy customer in a services industry.

The angry message to a tech service provider can often be a last ditch attempt at resolution. An angry review of a restaurant is usually little more than a public “fuck you”: they aren't getting further business from that customer.
I'd go a step further and say that any work on the open source Nouveau driver would instantly become a legal hell. When the proprietary code gets dumped illegally, you have to be extremely wary with new submissions to the project because one stolen method and nvidia's lawyers are all over you.

This is why leaked Windows source code is actually terrible for products like Proton and ReactOS.
"Democratic" is used as a thought-terminating cliche. Just a few years ago Ukraine had an insurrection because of their election results and overturned the election to install a new leader. It's a corrupt kleptocratic state very similar to Russia, it's just more of the money comes from American interests than in Russia, and that upsets the Russian kleptocrats who don't want American influence in Ukraine.

Similarly, although Ukraine is clearly much more peaceful relative to Russia, there has been low-level conflict for years (including violence in the insurrection and fighting in the contested territories) and there are verifiable claims of them having committed atrocities.

All this can be true and Russia can still be engaged in morally (strategically may be a different story) unjustified aggression.
I once read this article that the Neanderthals were aware of the antibiotic properties of penicillin and used this to heal themselves. They knew some mosses (with penicillin fungi) had healing properties.

They discovered this tens of thousands of years before Modern Man discovered it!!

So this doesn't really surprise me at all.
