Honestly you don't even have to think about optimization to make your software not horrifically slow on modern hardware, instead you have to think about non-pessimization. Simply put, avoid needless complexity and gratuitous waste in the first place.

They don’t use them (read the details); they could fall back to using them. And it’s a stupid publicity stunt. And even then, they would use them via an ipcam - something probably way less secure than any rdrand or lava lamp.
Gain of function isn't about predicting future natural mutations. It's about generating virus that can be used in dish and animal model studies, often blending features of existing viruses.
The comparison isn't reasonably between "sovereign control of your wealth" and "in total control of what everyone else values." That doesn't even make sense.

The question worth asking is about how controlling your own wealth, but having to trust the value of it to a giant swath of people over which no one entity has any significant control, compares to not having any control of your own wealth, AND having the value of any wealth you do have dependent entirely on the will of some unelected bureaucrat.
The lack of a stable ABI does not prevent maintaining decent drivers, hundreds of drivers have been up-streamed onto the kernel and work fine.

The lack of a stable ABI makes out-of-tree harder to maintain, but the whole point of Linux is that you don't need to maintain them out-of-tree.
I don’t know that this is a good analogy.

They’re both inherently high risk, but the value derives from different things. With small caps, it’s the idea that one or more may grow to produce outsize returns in the future, whereas the other is hoping someone will come along later with more money to take you out of your position.

(The small caps for the most part aren’t attracting money based on popularity or memes, so are closer to high-risk investing than gambling on speculative assets).
The difference is that we all have the subjective experience of understanding. When we have a conversation, we experience other people's words as sounds in our heads laden with meaning. We "understand" each word in the sentence, how the words fit together, what they refer to, and so on. We're all familiar with this experience, right? We're doing it right now through the medium of writing.

Searle takes that experience seriously. For him it's real and, in order to have that experience, you need machinery somewhat similiar to what we have. He can't bring himself to believe that a list of instructions and a person dumbly executing them have that sensation of understanding even if they produce the correct output.
Best of luck to them, but this one is dead on arrival. Symphony already tried to create an alternative with the backing of a number of the major investment banks, and failed miserably. As another commenter pointed out, the integrations are a huge part of the value proposition and would take a massive effort to recreate, assuming the data providers even find it worthwhile to engage. Then you need to run a brokerage, a ticker factory and a large news desk just to come close to parity. Heck, even other large companies like Refinitiv have trouble competing.
Yeah, you can get a person on the phone, who will calmly and patiently explain that they are going to proceed with fucking you because it's their policy to fuck you. Google doesn't pay a human to answer the phone, they just go ahead and fuck you. Either way, you're getting fucked, and the only difference is that if you do it the boomer way you get free phone therapy.

Personally I don't much care for free phone therapy. I think you get what you pay for.
Does it? Just taking one example "managed" stack: AWS Amplify + Lambda + S3 + DynamoDB. You can get pretty far using the free tier for the first two and using the second two sparingly. If you're spending any more than $20 per month on that stack, then you probably have a significant number of users and traction already.
You've never had to any kind of factor analysis in your work or done any searching for latent variables that map to customer/stakeholder question? Given the number of people I've worked with that are interested in modeling "engagement", I find this hard to believe.

PCA is an incredibly valuable tool that I've used in most jobs I've had. It's just a terrible idea as a default part of a feature engineering pipeline (which is what the author is talking about in terms of "feature selection"), for reasons outline in this article.

I suggest you don't be quite so quick to dismiss important concepts in this area, and before criticizing this post, at least read through it (I noticed your comment about misunderstand what the author is discussing by "feature selection" is the top comment here).
My whirlpool flat-base microwave has a perfect interface. Just a dial too set the time and the middle is a huge start/stop button. Can't get much easier than that IMO.

Yeah, well, govuk yourself.
It may be true if you have a large family and stay for a while. A 4-5 bedroom house would be a lot cheaper (and more convenient) than 4-5 hotel rooms.

Of course, large families are the exception not the rule nowadays.

Personally I don’t have a large family and the inconsistently with Airbnb means we don’t use it often at all.
It always bugged me that this didn't work in the terminal, and it's why I was so jazzed when I found out about Warp[1] (not affiliated). Aside from the other handy enhanced terminal features you'd expect from a replacement to the mac bundled one, the biggest win for me is it treats text input like a normal text input field, so all the normal shortcuts work.

Why?
I was using this to try to find the records that included my family. The search for 'Firstname Lastname" seems to search for Firstname OR Lastname. Does anybody know if its possible to search for Firstname AND Lastname and what the syntax for that might be? It seems to just still match any of the strings when entered that way.

Be careful for what you wish. As OP alludes, much of your income is taken up by housing, childcare, healthcare, retirement funding, etc. Just about everything is "out of pocket". In terms of safety nets or other societal benefits (e.g. family leave, vacation time, etc) that Europeans take for granted, the US has none to very little. As a result, Americans work non-stop and more than half the country is stressed out on a daily basis [0]. It's really not a sustainable way to live IMO.

Not necessarily.

If you know the mechanism for potential reversal of the transaction and trust the process responsible for making the decision about when to reverse a transaction, you've known the rules and the context from the start.

It would have to be a well-designed process to earn your trust, but it's not an unsolvable problem.

To my knowledge, there aren't any smart contracts that have implemented such a system really well yet, but I might just not have heard about them, or they may just not have been tried yet.
Wait until you see IOCCC entries on emulation. 8086 emulator under 43 KB. PDP11 in a few lines, too, running the OLD IOCCC entries from the 80's inside that emulator.

I attended the Recurse Center remotely for their Winter batch (Nov 2021 - Feb 2022), and the experience was terrific. The community is friendly, helpful, and empathetic. The environment and focus made me get better at programming and explore many areas in Computer Science, which I wouldn't have otherwise. I spent time hacking on SQLite, BTrees, Go Compilers, Code search engines etc. I met and paired with really amazing people. The time was very productive, and I thoroughly enjoyed my batch.

Anyone looking to get better programming, I strongly advise applying at RC.

I posted my syllabus or the daily log on my blog: https://avi.im/blag/
> Putting a significant amount of money into something that the vast majority of "intelligent" people say is a scam (as you do), is reward for taking risk.

I don't think this is any more a fact than my statement. I'm merely trying to point out that you seem to be saying it's ok to invest in what people perceive as a scam (my example was pyramid schemes) because it's an investment.
Honestly, everyone is quitting everywhere right now. It's a big swap meet
"Simply" is a pretty strong word. I live in a coutry where international transfers are pretty much banned. The government can easily freeze my bank account, but disconnect me entirely from the internet is on another level of difficulty.
I just don't care. I don't want to risk getting scammed for a few bucks that I was not expecting. Give the $5000 to someone else, I'm fine.
Trans and non binary folks are probably whole integer percent of populations, and are over represented in tech.

It's trivially easy to use "they" rather than he or she. Or "the person" or whatever the actual noun is.
For the places it doesn't work well, you can usually guess the reason. TextEdit and Safari respond to Command as the primary modifier, the same as any other Cocoa application.

(FWIW, I just tried this in TextEdit's plaintext mode on Big Sur and it does indeed work - more than likely due to the UNIX heritage, the emacs bindings work here too)

It is well known that Command-L will focus the address bar and select any text that might be there, so overriding it is generally a bad idea if you can avoid it.

The same goes for 3rd parties - my Dad is a recent convert to macOS and is frequently stumped when Control-A doesn't select text in Microsoft Word - I explained this to him, but in the moment he sometimes forgets.

> If this is an April fool's joke why put "seriously" in the title?

Obvious. They didn't want to wait 3 days to announce it on Monday. Someone else could have stolen the idea by then.

But they knew it's April fools day so they said "seriously" to clarify that it's serious and not a joke. They even showed a Dev board render so it must be real. Everyone knows if there's renders there must be real products.

$199 is too steep for me though :( And delivery is exactly a year away. I don't want to wait this long!!

Why Russia’s military is bogged down by logistics in Ukraine
I would like to see General Average be used for more than just shipping.

For example, I would happily insure my house with a 'General Average' based insurance. I would pay no premium upfront for said insurance, but I would be committing to pay a proportional share of anyone's house that is part of the scheme that gets damaged.

Sadly nothing like this seems to exist. Instead we're stuck with regular insurance which on average spends more on admin and overheads than it actually pays out!
> Crypto-assets like Bitcoin have real cultural and structural advantages that make them powerful assets worth holding and using.

Not for me. Why would an asset, which I can lose, have no direct control over it or even better, whose storage places are hacked on a weekly basis, earn my trust? And no, I am not even starting about the energy waste most crypto-assets are.
most people in that discussion want to debunk the salience of the Moderna patent sequence on the grounds that there are other examples of the same sequence in earth's biome, so it could have entered the covid-19 virus some other way. While that is worth knowing/noting, to me it doesn't debunk because Moderna still took a recent interest in it, enough to patent it and it was of interest for the same reason that it would be suggested to test it on a coronavirus.
> It's value is always only meaningful when at least two people agree on it's value.

Is it not totally obvious that bitcoin has market value?

If not, consider these points - bitcoin was not created by MIT and Uchicago STEM and econ PhDs, it was born out of an anonymous internet "white paper." It proved itself as a type of "money" in the internet dark markets, and continues to do so. It wasn't "lab tested," it was tested in the real world. When China banned crypto, the price of bitcoin did not crash. Only authoritarian countries have banned it, while some US lawmakers hold bitcoin and Gensler (chairmen of the SEC) taught a class at MIT about crypto.

These should be very compelling aspects of bitcoin.

I might be misremembering! My source is a friend of mine whose day job was maintaining DB2; about 15 years ago, she told me — if I'm not misremembering! — that DB2 was written in "PL/M", which was a variant of PL/I. But it wouldn't be terribly surprising if it was actually PL/MI or PL/MP or (as you suggest in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30877856) PL/X and I just misheard. Or misremembered.

She was also born around the time DB2 was first released, but she did work for IBM.

Yup, that's a first mistake, no? Shouldn't one build projects for others? It's a fine distinction, but getting that first customer is so important (or so I've heard).
Yes, I don't know where GP worked, but I've seen dozens of companies relying on VPNs alone.
There isn't a platonic ideal "Apple" if that's what you mean by emergent phenomenon.

A collection of neurons can build a model of the world that includes its experience of apples, and from that, dedicate some neurons to representing a particular instance of an apple. This model isn't the reality of "Apples", though, and is physically located in the brain.

Understanding the Product Lifecycle
I don't think that's what they're claiming at all. The "no different than" is doing the work here but I don't think it's warranted.

An investor in that situation has to (presumably, and I'm ignorant so maybe not) do work in doing research, having enough domain and industry knowledge to evaluate what a "winner" looks like in a given industry, understand how valuations are formed and what can make them wrong, etc etc.

Some of that is done by crypto people sure, but the difference between a big success and losing your money there seems a lot more luck-based than in normal investing.

People have been making the argument that investing is gambling for decades at this point, and I don't think that's completely wrong but it is very hard to draw the line. I am comfortable putting crypto trading on the gambling side of that line, and most forms of professional investing probably on the non-gambling side.

They are possibly a lot closer than I think they are, but I don't think that speaks well for either activity!
Well, I'd be interest in how this turns out - the only way I can envision it is either both parties need to agree to a return (which can already be done by agreement), one party has to agree (taking agency away from the other), or a "higher power" needs to agree (removing the freedom from governance that these technologies propose to offer). In most of these cases there's self-determination being lost.
Try Xanmod instead of Liquorix.

Also, if your hardware it's fully supported under Linux-Libre,

Looks like a student, trying to improve things and making some mistakes that are very much to be expected for a student project. Kudos for the effort, and I think they probably learned a good lesson in test data generation.
Literally the only way you can profit with crypto is if people keep buying in at higher prices. It's the perfect instantiation of a pyramid scheme.

There are already NICs that have this feature. XDP can run in one of three modes. The firsts mode simply runs the program in the kernel stack and is either for testing or used in the worst case where you have no driver support. The primary mode is for the driver author to write in the invocation of the eBPF program and then implement all the resulting actions into the driver. The third mode is offload, where the eBPF program is loaded into a Smart NIC, FPGA device and the packet is processed without the need for DMA.

By far, the most popular form is running in the driver, which can get very close to line rate for most network cards. If you have any questions about this I'd be happy to go into more detail.
First we create a portable bytecode in order to run executable code in a hardware-independent way.

You realize it's common for PCs to have entire dedicated hardware circuitry for this, right? The HEVC support for Windows 10 depends on hardware support, for instance. And the decoding for 4K Blu-rays is actually being dropped by Intel chips, which means desktop platforms are losing the ability to decide their encryption.
Sadly it is not. The bot's github page leads back to a real looking webpage. But then again that could be some top tier trolling. The page is completely bereft of any personality, names, or faces... so...

For anyone that cares the argument basically comes down a weak form of the Sapier-Worf hypothesis and the primacy of emotions over any other consideration. A useless and potentially harmful admixture.

Speaking of that annoying split, I have a base 2020 Intel MacBook Air and command-tab takes 200 ms to display, making it utterly unpleasant. Mind-blowing for a €1200 computer.

> Hosts can remove bad reviews.

Yes and this is so frustrating to me that I'm going to force myself to use hotels more.

What people don't understand is how one manipulates information not from what one says that's false, but in what one omits.

We know for a fact it's easy for a host to remove bad reviews. Take a look at the AirBNB subreddit, which is run by hosts. They actively tell each other how to get rid of reviews. Biggest tip: find something in the review that is 'not something the host has control over'. Boom, success, the entire thing is silently canned, and the writer will never get notified.

I got burned a lot with crappy experiences the last few years. My biggest issue was unexpected noise never mentioned in 20 reviews. One apartment had a bedroom attached to the top floor of an elevator shaft, making clanking noises. Another had THREE restaurant courtyards literally in the yard.

Caveat emptor with AirBNB, because you won't get to leave early and get a refund, whereas hotels are often negotiable.
It still either has to be a passion project for an engineer or it has to make business sense. Even if it only takes a collective week's worth of work in a year to keep it supported, that's 1/52 of an engineer's salary, and that has to be made up/exceeded by profit generated from the extra sales. Regarding this product, pens and drawing tables for personal computers are already a relatively niche category, so the subsection of those users who also use Linux is probably very small.
