Time for another LISP machine, where the OS and the "system language" are the same thing. Base it on Lua and have their wonderful FFI / C interface layer tooling work for you.

Or we can admit that the problems have little to do with the hardware and much more to do with how humans conceptualize it; there's plenty of languages out there that "better match the hardware" but they rarely seem to be a better match for the wetware.

The endurance of C means that it is a tool whose handle fits well into the squishy brains we hold it with.

The machine end of the tool, we've got so many options we can't enumerate them. We've got shit so sharp no one can make it work (VLIW, anyone?) The human side we keep using the same axe handles because thats what fits.
I'm teaching a nursing chemistry course right now. There's a certain kind of character who sees the course not as an opportunity to learn but as an obstacle to overcome on their way to make a living. We are trying our damnedest best to weed those out.

What has happened is this: nurse tasked to administer Versed. Versed - what's that, don't care. <goes to medicine cabinet> VE-clickedy-click. Vecuronium? Dunno what's that, but it's good enough. Big warning! Medicine be dangerous! Medicine is administered, patient dies. Nurse says, mistakes were made, but Jesus loves me!

Enough of that.

Make sure the Allow brightness to reach zero is unchecked: https://app.lunar.fyi/display/builtin/controls

Screenshot: https://cln.sh/O9MSDd

Then just lower the brightness to 0, either with the slider or the brightness keys. Another red slider will appear for the sub-zero brightness and brightness keys will control that slider now.

EDIT: I saw your edit now. I'm trying not to add more elements in the Preferences window as it's already too complex. The Preferences window is supposed to only be used when you have to change some more persistent settings.

Sub-zero dimming is easier to use with the brightness keys.
I do not have deep experience with this, but the word on the street is that Julia can be faster than other compiled languages. I think that's partly because it can find a good algorithm, based on your data structure; think of loop unrolling, etc.

You can inspect the assembly code for anything you're working on, and that can be quite helpful at times; see e.g. https://youtu.be/wU6c8CDRXJE?t=3887.

I think the reason why quite a few high-performance people (I mean in the science community -- I don't know much about other communities) are excited about Julia is simply that well-respected experts are also excited. An example is the Julia implementation of the MIT GCM (general circulation model) for the ocean; for similar projects, see https://github.com/CliMA.

Programmer effort is also a factor in scientific computation. If the system can do some of your work for you, so much the better; see e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZS2LGiurKY for a lecture that touches upon how the framework of Julia eases the burden of machine-learning tasks.

As I say, though, I do not have deep experience with Julia. I've rewritten one of my numerical models in Julia and the speed is about the same as before, but my code is much shorter and easier to understand. I would not burn up 6 months translating a complex code, but nor would I start a 6-month coding project in Fortran anymore.
Such non-constructive comments are not appreciated here.
If you mean the time right before, when France forced the dissolution of the HRE then I suppose you could come up with a definition of prospering. But whatever definition you come up with would have been unbearable as “prospering” to any one but the Wittlesbachs. But I suppose that’s all a bit of a derail.

I don't know where you got 86TB but the current storage required for an Ethereum full node is about 600GB.

https://etherscan.io/chartsync/chaindefault

There's a difference between a full node and an archive node. A full node has all the data required to verify the chain from genesis up to the current state. An archive node also has all the state of all previous blocks. An archive node can be derived from a full node, and the only purpose of an archive node is to run historical queries.

You can run a full node without staking ETH, in which case there are no penalties for going offline. (And if you are staking, you can be offline up to a third of the time and still be profitable.)

There are efforts underway to shrink storage requirements, including very secure light clients, state expiration, and statelessness. But right now that stuff is mostly on the back burner while they focus on the proof-of-stake migration.
Ah that makes me wonder if my father’s PC had a similar GPU.

I played Half-life at the time, and shortly after the tentacle boss, you’d had to swim underwater. However this water was just rendered in a opaque color, so at that point I could not finish the game. Not an idea where to go.
You can.

but you bought a Cryptex.

break the Cryptex, it's broken.

We can stop buying electronic Cryptexes, or we can force companies to stop making them.

but from a realistic perspective, the only way to uphold the sanctity of online play, and enforce IP rights, is to have a secure stack, from boot loader, physically integrating the encryption keys with the hypervisor, and to render anything else an inoperable brick.

Lest we have cheaters in console games.

I do agree to a degree, I think "offline mode" should have a legal basis to stand on, but I also like to know that the others in the game are not cheating.

and that is impossible without an inaccessible black box, the Xbox, which is what we bought.

ive seen both sides of this coin.
> "you need to work out what you want in this other paradigm and then translate it"

Not really. You wouldn't expect good programs from someone who has no idea how a computer works. The language is the knobs and dials. You need to know what the knobs and dials do in the machine.
> the slope of the yield curve is determined by the expectations of future fed rate policy

Entangled with is a better way to think about it. The Fed strongly influences the rate curve. But the rate curve also influences the Fed. And trading rates isn't just about predicting what the Fed will do (though that's a big piece of it).
Just saw this. I'm trying to post a more substantive version of this comment to your blog, but for some reason, it keeps erroring.
Any place is very warm where you have people with common, niche interests discussing topics that you care about.

Besides that, HN is very nicely moderated. It might be just me, but I value non-echo-chamber places. HN is very surprisingly very diverse, and I have considered many POVs that I hadn’t considered before. HN made me a better person.

Apart from that, people in HN are generally very helpful and are keen on giving valuable advive. Thanks, everyone.

HN has been transformative in my life and journey. I am a much better engineer, well versed in diverse subjects. I am in a much better place in my career for HN. They say, "if you are the smartest person in a room, change the room, if you care to grow". I am certainly not the smartest or the most experienced person in this room, and I grew a lot and keep growing due to HN.

I lived (and now live, due to WFH) in a very small town. What I do, nobody understands. First, FB connected me with smart, accomplished expats who grew up in my town, then Quora gave me a glimpse of outside world, Amazon gave me book-gadget-parity, and Reddit gave me a good base. I learned programming with the help of Reddit recommended sources. Then finally, HN recommended sources made me, and keeps making me better.

And thanks to pirates, too, because many stuff that I could not literally afford, were available for free.

I got to know about SICP, nand2tetris, genetic programming, and a lot of other things from HN for the first time.

And the level of competence of people on HN is much higher. I get better just by trying to be worthy of this place.

A heartfelt thanks to HN.

I will make a post, too, when I am where I want to be.
Maybe you have to deal with OOP ravioli because the authors were using IDEs.
It will be interesting to see how long the fed can do this without having to reverse course due to a struggling economy. Things are tricky right now, as the economy has been dependent on a loose fed for quite a while.

We're heading towards a demographic crisis as boomers retire and need more service workers. I think this is inflationary, perhaps stagflationary.

I've heard worries that the government will run into budgetary issues if bond rates climb too high. On the other hand, any profits the fed makes on lending flow back to the Treasury, so maybe that's not an issue. Does anyone know the deal with that?
Probably not. But their job is to keep track of all of this, they’ve clearly made a healthy premium, so I do believe they have a part in both not preventing it at this time and helping to prevent some of it going forward. Not sure what that entails but I get a dozen calls a day and need someone to yell at.
Strong agree. And I love Reddit, not least for how very different it is to HN, but I come here for totally different reasons (and totally different discussions).

Do not forget it was a national hobby in Holland to sell information on (hidden) jews during WW2.

The initial price was 2,50 (Dutch Guilders) at the start of the war, it went up to 40 towards the end.

Dark numbers are said (no without discussion) to be up to 40% of the jews in hiding where sold out.
The key is this observation from the article: "QT does not change the size of the Treasury market but does change the composition of ownership. By the end of QT Non-Fed investors should hold $2t more Treasuries as Fed holdings decline by $2t."

Basically QT means fewer bonds owned by the Fed and correspondingly more bonds owned by others (banks, investors, other countries).

You might be surprised to hear that most people you know are doing what they can to make a living.

It seems like you may not see it that way, while instead making a moral judgement of who “really cares”. I understand your sentiment, but I would advise caution in such situations.

im not sure if that analogy of your's is made in the best faith.
Other than to denote a hypothesis, why do these articles use the term “may.” I think it implies “have” to the layman and implies hasn’t to anyone with some math or science based education. If nothing has been proven yet what’s the story here? It seems to me, and I’m happy to be wrong, that science journalism is indulging in clickbait.
Why doesn't the cabinet require you to select the purpose of the drug?

First you select a drug, then the system estimates danger and urgency(Safer drugs often used in cases where seconds count could bypass the extra check), then the cabinet displays all the purposes one might use the drug for, along with random unrelated purposes and a text field.

If you ask for a sedative, you have to say why. And if you click an unrelated purpose, it will make you retry everything, and also show up on a report that you and your supervisor can look at to see if there are any patterns of frequently being caught.

Especially dangerous drugs could even require control room authorization, one operator could potentially supervise dozens of nurses remotely.

I'm not sure if people would get even more complacent, but it seems like errors are already common enough that it might be hard to make it worse.
'Let's go to macro scale: What's the better solution: 1000000 people each baking their own bread (1 loaf a day), or a giant company baking all the bread?'

The same argument advocates monopoly or central planning by government?

If not, you have to jistify where is centralised enough. Now, if we have a 20,000 different bakeries, is that actually centralised?

Decentralisation of plumbers doesnt mean everyone does his own plumbing, it means anyone willing to learn can become a plumber and there is no plumbing monopoly.

Also we should debate the actual subject, not debate it indirectly throufh analogie, it just introduces an extra step of inaccuracy and cultural baggage.
There are many productivity tools out there. And we are not trying to replace them all, we actually integrate with Slack, Notion, Trello, etc

> had already committed to development of Metal before they knew AMD was up to something.

They might have, but it's sort of a moot question. In 2012-2014, Apple was supporting four different graphics processors across their various product lines: Intel, Nvidia, AMD, and Apple A-series chips. Even if AMD had announced Mantle the day before Apple started working on Metal, it would've been a solution that only covered the AMD category, whereas the first version of Metal was capable of running on all of those architectures. [1]

The only alternative to Apple rolling their own would've been Apple working in conjunction with Kronos to develop a next-gen OpenGL. I can't find anything that indicates Apple approached Kronos, so it's hard to say whether Apple decided against it for technical reasons (Apple may have felt it would have been too long a time frame to reach a final form, or the design-by-committee approach would not have resulted in a satisfactory-to-Apple result) or political ones (perhaps there was insufficient appetite for that scope of change until Apple announced it was abandoning OpenGL for Metal).

It doesn't. Just because it shares some syntax with C does not make it 'want to be procedural'. I think that comes from the programmers bias from first learning a procedural language.

I learnt C then Verilog, I am fluent in Verilog. The mindset for designing digital logic is completely different to programming computers, it literally is a completely different skill. The problem is, people think just because they can type a (procedural) programming language they can program anything that is programmed with a code which is where peoples initial distaste for Verilog and VHDL comes from. When you learn how to do it, I think designing logic is refreshing compared to writing software, there's so much baggage with software.
It want 24 hours of failed hash output persisted to a file or database somewhere so an analysis of the sheer magnitude of deadends can be done, and a material artifact of waste byproduct in the form of failed hash byproduct can be produced so the lay person can translate that into something tangible.

Maybe one day I'll try instrumenting something like that.
Wikipedia isn't the source of the scientific information -- as is immediately apparent from the quoted sentence -- and I think basic media literacy requires that you not participate in the conversation if you can't parse that from the quote.

How much does Fed actually consider the shape of the yield curve? Powell's recent comments indicated they focus on front of curve, as opposed to something like 2s10s. Aren't central banks like ECB/BoJ more attentive to overall shape?
This was just delisted from HN because... why?

Fair enough.

But Moxie's point is that such choice has consequences and implications. Centralization is the most obvious of them.
I've noticed that the more "realistic" animated humans become, the less conventionally attractive they become. I began to notice this years ago when characters started to have skin blemishes etc. It struck me as a simple gimmick then. Like all they could do was increase the texture resolution and to show that off you need "interesting" facial features.

All of this is just trickery to distract you from the uncanny valley. The real test of this rendering is "perfect" faces like Charlize Theron or George Clooney. Those are real people too, by the way.

I also notice that the latest "hyper-realistic" models are almost always female too. I wonder why that is.
