> The idea that there are base moral facts is ridiculous

Sexual abuse of toddlers?

Unprovoked abduction and torture?

I think there certainly are base moral facts at the extremes of behaviour. Evil exists. Malevolence exists.

But I agree that most behaviour isn’t so extreme as to be easily judged without the understanding you describe.
+1. I'm certainly not keen on sharing anything personal with a manager. we're not friends. I'm not going to tell you how i got drunk and puked or whatever, that's not appropriate and it's not doing me any favors career wise.
Exactly my feeling about this. Biden and Trump also both ramble incoherent sentences all the time, so they do talk like GPT-3, making it much harder to discern text fakes here.

The only thing that made me score higher than random on the text segments was assuming that the stereotypical extreme things for Trump and Biden to say are usually fake.

I.e. they used a bit of truth but stretched it too far.
Poland uses Block 52 F-16's which aren't mothballed at AMARC (yet) Subtypes and blocks differ significantly including logistic pipelines, training etc. So simply grabbing a few from Davis-Monthan won't do the trick.
They’re basically kabuki nonsense like most of corporate America. No one benefits but everyone goes through the motions.
Yet MC is still paying salaries in Russia.
My dad had the same reaction when I told him that we'd pay the extra credit card fees. He said "the merchant pays those" and didn't seem to get my "where do you think the merchant gets the money from?" reply.
How reliant is the world on Russia for oil and gas?
They shouldn't be coordinating often unless the benchmark is poorly suited.
Again, you're not doing much to convince me you've actually gone out of your way to have a conversation with them.

They have other fish to fry, because maintaining a community doesn't just mean maintaining a codebase. They have a bunch of existing code that is architected in a way that makes some changes (like removing the comment render limit) not so easy. Though some of the consequences are annoying, they've never stopped anyone from using HN.

My personal experience is that they are implementing features and doing experiments, and it seems to me you've just never bothered to reach out and check with them because you think you know better.

Enjoy your thesis, or whatever. They're nice people and I recommend emailing them.
I don't know why you keep confusing theft with copyright infringement. There is no logical reason to do that other than to do some subconscious moral framing.

It's similar to arguing ice cream is not fresh because it is made of frozen milk. You're trying to form a bad association that is completely illogical.
You’re being overly strict in defining a general word, in a way that worsens understanding.

We aren’t computers with parts. There isn’t a microphone connected to a DSP, there’s a neural net on every level from signal processing up to whole experience.

When someone says “hear” they mean almost all of that pipeline, not just the mic quality.

Picking out a bassoon in the mix is hearing better, at the level that matters.
Not necessarily. Research requires a different combination of skills - 1) ability to quickly read a research paper to get the main gist, 2) ability to estimate if a contribution is incremental or novel, 3) writing a coherent research paper, 4) defining a good experimental setup etc.
Absolutely, that's tragedy of it.

Sanctions won't make them surrender, or make them our friends.

It'll just make the poor.

The only good thing sanctions against North Korea did was:

1. Make their army poorly maintained,

2. Discourage others from doing similar tricks.

I'm not even sure we were successful at (2).
Why is there seemingly no fight from Russians?

In America if 13,000 people show up to a protest and the police start beating them up; the police station gets burned down. Maybe that's why protesting is more effective for us.

i feel like managers are in a different world, jumping from meeting to meeting they don't get deep into things. as a SWE.. I'm balancing 100 little things in my head, deep in thought, solving away.

We didn't have the data yet, then we learned more over time. The standards are what they are because of what we learned. You don't trust the FDA to think that everything is safe unless they say so or they're wrong, you trust them to tell you they know that something is definitely bad. There's a huge difference there.
I’m disappointed. I expected some obscure edgecase (like “Main is usually a function…” [1]) but instead that’s about scope handling, contract design and responsibility shift.

“Hello world” method simply calls an API to a text interface. It uses simple call, to a simple interface that is expected to be ever present. I don’t find any bug there. It won’t work if such interface isn’t available, is blocked or doesn’t exist. It won’t work on my coffee grinder nor on my screwdriver. It won’t work on my Arduino because there is no text interface neither.

Of course, one could argue that user might expect you to handle that error. That’s all about contracts and expectation. How should I deal with that? Is the “Hello world” message such important that the highest escalated scenario should be painted on the sky? I can imagine an awkward social game where we throw each other obscure challenges and call it a bug.

It’s nitpicking that even such simple code might fail and I get it. It will also fail on OOM, faulty hardware or if number of the processes on the machine hit the limit. Maybe some joker replaced bindings and it went straight to 3D printer which is out of material? _My expectations_ were higher based on the title.

Now allow me to excuse myself, I need to write an e-mail to my keyboard manufacturer because it seems like it has a bug which prevents it from working when slightly covered in liquid coffee.

Yes it is? You can see similar instructions on hundred years old war-time posters.
All of the videos except the first one had no audio for me. The volume control was greyed out. I have the "no autoplay" option enabled in my browser, not sure if that's why.

I'm reading the Ultrafusion description and besides all the talk what I can think of is: NUMA?
As a former quantum physicist who has just decided to go back into quantum computing, this was my take as well: Introductory quantum physics courses may still include wave-function collapse and all that nonsense, but I have not met many physicists who use this as a mental model.

To be a bit more specific as to how _decoherence_ solves this, one way to see it is that classicality (i.e. observables having specific values) is an emergent property in the limit of near-infinite degrees of freedom in the same way that e.g. thermodynamic properties (temperature etc.) are emergent properties of classical systems in the limit of near-infinite degrees of freedom.

Putting it on the edge, claiming that quantum theory is at a dead end is like claiming statistical physics is at a dead end.

One of my personal favorites for how to formalize this is the work on "pointer states" by Wojciech H. Zurek. There is a freely available Physics Today articls [0], and you can find surveys of further work e.g. in the introduction of [1].

Because errors on FILE streams are persisted until clearerr, it should be sufficient to check the return value of fflush at the end of the program. Presumably the FILE I/O interface was deliberately designed this way, so error checking could be consolidated at the end of a series of operations.
At least they mix in quality content.If you can name some major media that only pump quality content, I'm in. (quality content not being the other side propaganda that is)
Not surprising that the mafioso invasion of a democracy is given more attention than a dictatorship being overthrown, or a fight between internal tribal factions.
I know this article and comments here are mostly related to 1:1s with your boss. But I also use them in a not boss related situation, like scheduled 1:1s with an architect or ux designer if they are not fully assigned to a team.
Confounding variables are a strong argument against this. Give me two sets of data that have no causal relationship, and it's very possible (if not likely) I will be able to demonstrate not only a causal relationship but also observational predictability through the existence of confounding variables. Let me use ML models and this becomes trivial.

Do school names determine how good a school will be? Of course not. However, schools have names which tend to be reused: cultural icons, scientists, etc.. And schools in low performing areas are going to have a different distribution of chosen names than schools in high performing areas. So you can create a model that will not only demonstrate this but also offer legitimate observational predictability that a school's name will, on average, determine how well it will do.

The only way you could really refute this hypothesis is by understanding the true confounding variable, or by running some huge scale multiple decades long experiment where you changed the names of new schools and measured the performance difference. That experiment is clearly not really practicable, so all you're left with is understanding.

And this is really where the risk is. If we ever begin to build upon something that is unsound then it risks everything from that point onward being also invalid. At best everything collapses and you realize you must have made a mistake. At worse, you simply end up adding endless epicycles until at some point everything starts to completely stall out muddled in its own invalid fundamentals and irreconcilable complexity.
There were periods in my life when I coped better, but I have never been able to function in my life until I was lucky enough for a friend to just buy me a bilevel CPAP, at a point in life when I couldn't even go out and see a doctor anymore.

Even now, I can barely work 1-3 hours a few days per week, and not starve myself while waiting for a consultation with an orthognatic surgeon.

I am aware I could do better mentally, but at the end of the day, it's difficult to cope with being unable to achieve even simplest goals I set for myself, and the crippling loneliness of nobody believing that yeah, I'm really sick, really struggling, and really not managing very well.

If your EF impairments are unremitting, it's likely that you have an underlying physiological condition. Can I ask you about the status of your sleep, digestion, and presence of any chronic health complaints, however trifle(like chronic cough, waking up grumpy, or mild indigestion)?

Depending on the design, no more than abacus has components that "tick". And I'd never say an abacus requires a clock to function.

If even a single bit gets hung up in a straightforward clockless design, everything else waits for it.

None of that is really visible to something inside the computer, though. The OP is describing calculation steps, not clock cycles.
he expanded on that quite a bit in quantum psychology (1990), giving an expanded treatise on the software of the mind and how it maps our interpretation of reality.

quite a good read if you liked his previous works.

Apple products are so expensive here in South Africa. And we don't have as much disposable cash as Americans/westerners. So yeah adoption is hindered. They don't even try to be competitive unlike Samsung and Huawei do here.
I thought about this too a bit just now. But I think it's not the shell setting up stuff outside your process that then fails. Rather you already get handles to the "full" file system at process creation and then it's your problem. And traditionally, the behaviour you get from all the standard streams is very unpredictable, depending on where they point.
NetBSD and FreeBSD have /dev/full as well.
You can just use a service like SMSPVA, phone verification doesn't break anonymity. It's a reasonable anti-spam measure, you have to burn a tiny amount of cryptocurrency in order to register.

The History of Work in India
I'm just insanely glad to not reside in countries where data privacy laws are completely horrible.

The amount of OSINT available on americans is like 2-3$ to access and on each search I can see stuff in your family history even which is just incredibly crazy. Doesn't work on people from other countries.

Food for thought.
The author of this paper suggests their xoshiro256 from the Xoshiro family[1] as an alternative. I found some discussion here[2] where it's suggested it has some fatal flaws as well, though I'm no expert.

Back when I wrote a path tracer, the quality of the random number generator was visible. The poor LCG[3] that my programming language sported resulted in obvious patterns in what should have been random noise.

So, for simulations where predictability etc is not a concern, what's the state of the art? And since I'm into microcontrollers, what's a decent choice when you only got a 8-bit CPU and very limited space (both code and memory)?

The cost of powering my 3090 for a year is now more than the cost (RRP) of a 3090.
From some research I did a little while back light therapy does work according to the research papers but the problem comes when the end product does not deliver enough lux (amount of light over a given surface area at a given distance). IIRC the research papers either define the dosing over time in lux or in lumens at a given distance (pretty sure it is lux though). So the issue is that these light therapy boxes list dosing in lumens or lux at a very short distance and when sitting at a usable distance to reasonably perform another activity for 15-30 min you achieve far under the dosing amount listed in the papers. To top it off these devices were usually over or well over $100.

I went with a video recording LED panel set close to me on a tripod which ended up being the more economical option to achieve the desired lux. But to each their own.

If you’d like some more links send an email to the address in my profile and I’ll see what I can dig up again. I’m on my phone right now so my ability to do that is limited.

Okay, cool, I’m 100% with you.

The logical inconsistencies of the collapse interpretation are an insult to their intellect.
Technically: the driver detects if it is run in a virtualization environment, it is at least able to detect KVM and VMware. On the upside, it's relatively easy to bypass the check.

Legally: I assume no cloud provider will assume the legal risk of telling their customers "and here you have to break the EULA of the NVIDIA driver in that way to use the service". In Europe where the legal environment is more focused on interoperability, this might not be as much of a problem, but still it may be too much risk.

I think this has helped me understand exactly how I feel about process.

Any process that stops you from doing what you know is the right thing to do, is bad process. And any time you lack process that could have saved you from doing the wrong thing, is bad. The sweet spot is process you never think about, that makes things just work right.

Let's say you work on a HIPAA project. You have been through the HIPAA training. You know how your product is supposed to work to comply with HIPAA. A bad process would constantly gate-keep and nag and hold you back, checking every 5 minutes if anything you do is compliant. But also a bad process would not provide any checks at all, making it easy to miss something important. The good process prevents things falling through the cracks, while not holding you back from doing your job.

Good process helps you do your job better. Bad process makes it harder to do your job well.

Show HN: World’s first £3 flat fee (0% FX markup) money transfer service
Good morning everyone! My co-founder and I recently moved to the UK after working at Robinhood for over 5 years. We were stunned at the fees it was costing us to move money across borders with existing fintech solutions, so we decided to start Atlantic Money - the world’s first fixed fee (with no FX markup) money transfer product. For £3 you can transfer up to £1M. Let us know if you have any questions!
It definitely confuses our customers. We fairly regularly receive unpleasant tickets asking where their order is. Once we dig in we often find they did not order with us, but with a competitor who they thought was us.
It’s neither of those - ruble is not in a freefall and you are right to be cynical about solidarity. In reality this is just another manifestation of the cancel-culture, just on a whole other level, country scale.

> There's our "No space" error getting reported by the OS, but no matter, the program silently swallows it and returns 0, the code for success. That's a bug!

Bzzt, no. You can't say that without knowing what the program's requirements are.

Blindly "fixing" a program to indicate failure due to not being able to write to standard output could break something.

Maybe the output is just a diagnostic that's not important, but some other program will reacts to the failed status, causing an issue.

Also, if a program produces output with a well-defined syntax, then the termination status may be superfluous; the truncation of the output can be detected by virtue of that syntax being incomplete.

E.g. JSON hello world fragment:

puts("{\"hello\":\"world\"}");
return 0;

if something is picking up the output and parsing it as JSON, it can deduce from a failed parse that the program didn't complete, rather than going by termination status.
never needed a database huh? you and i live in different worlds. every web app I've written has needed a database. need somewhere to put user data and transaction logs
Thank you for writing this.

I knew consistency was important, and did not place much importance on "brilliance", although that attribute has been showered upon me since I was little.

What I did not know, and still don't know is that studying only for a few minutes or half an hour regularly will make me good at something as advanced math.

You seem to know your stuff and I like your approach and attitude, and I will do now what I do very rarely and upon serious consideration- take a leap of faith.

I will start doing math everyday for at least half an hour, and I will see how that goes.

I will let you know after a few months.

> there will be no Ukraine by the time any of current measures start hurting anyone other than pedestrians. the measures that would work are not being considered seriously by anyone that matters

The measures that would work such as direct sanctions and seizing the assets of a bunch of oligarchs, Putin and his ministers? Which were step 1? Or freezing the Russian central bank's foreign currency reserves?

Furthermore, 2 weeks in, Ukraine is holding out, Russia is bleeding men and equipment, and their advance is pretty much stalled on almost all fronts. They're mobilising museum pieces from the Far East and random civilians vehicles to send to Ukraine, so it doesn't seem like the equipment situation is great. I doubt a mass mobilisation will be gladly accepted by the Russian population, so to what extent they can deal with those loses is yet to see.

Even if Russia manages to conquer all of Ukraine, they couldn't occupy it for lack of troops.
