Everyman non-home-owning Musk: https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-says-he-lives-in-a-50...
I spent five years in the Air Force. Posts like this are really helpful, a lot of Americans are disconnected from members of the military, especially in the upper classes where people do not need to serve, or in fields (like tech) where people can often find less intrusive ways to pay for college. My favorite part of the article is dispelling the myth that in the military senior people bark orders, and don't ask for feedback, and subordinates dutifully carry out those orders. None of those is true. There is a time to "shut up and color" but that is by far the exception. For the young people on here, I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you serving in the military was a positive experience for me.
I can say the same about the M1 Mac Mini and its much cheaper
Apparently those options are not good enough to be implemented.

- Unionisation - helped for a while, then those companies where it was implemented didn't survive because they could not make anything effectively.

- building a cooperative-based economy - would be nice in theory if all people could cooperate. But in reality, they do not, there will be freewheelers who game the system.

- UBI - not tried yet is the only difference between UBI and communism. So, it's good but only in theory, we don't know practice yet. I personally believe it's the best solution out there, but life may verify that like communism.

- minimum wages - we have minimum wages in Poland, they don't help that much, but weren't updated and inflation eaten them away.

- nationalising important industries and resources - all nationalised resources are being wasted away for political reasons sooner or later. I know this from practice

- building systems of mutual aid - that helps, but if nationalised - they are squandered for political reasons. If commercial - being squandered due to greed. But yes, they are mostly working in most countries.

Options are many, implementable are not.
How do people test in production? It's difficult to get test accounts in production because it containing consumer data. Think financial data.

Does anyone know any good resources for testing in production?
Ask HN: Why are accounts created over Tor instantly shadow-banned?
I make a new account to make anonymous comments on here and only I can ever see them. Why does this community shadow ban and prevent anonymous posts?
Eigen has one of if not the best linear algebra APIs I've ever seen. In particular, vectors are column vectors by default and you never need to touch row vectors (if I can editorialize, row vectors shouldn't exist at all), and vectors are not simply "n-by-1" matrices -- they're true vectors.
My point was that exchange prices/raw data can't even legally be "IP", because facts aren't copyrightable. (Not even compilations of facts that have no other creative input)
I just rsync the root partition from time to time, ignoring /efi and /etc/fstab. Although this (obviously) only works in one direction, but that's enough for my use case.
I remote into a desktop wired into my home cable modem and basically use my macbook as a thin client a lot of the time. Modern remote desktop software is crazy good. Using parsec.app even from hotels it's almost like I'm sitting at the machine.
How can you drag three monitors with you whereever you go? Just the full-sized keyboard would be a drag.

I have three desktops. Projects are on SSD VMs that I carry, or in the cloud. So no issues about syncing.
I suppose losing the network moat through decentralization, bad PR and/or anti-trust would be something to worry about then.
It's not really called out as such, but the C# 8 feature Nullable Reference Types is an example of deeply embedding flow typing into a language. The nullability state of a reference type can change based on many things you can do in code. It's really neat and extremely intricate.
I should have been clearer, it would be really nice to just have one single USB C lead from my laptop to a monitor for video and PD. Overall I am happy with USB C. Having a laptop with many cable's connected for me defeats the object hence me looking at desktops.
Unfettered developer freedom may be over
Is it up to the giver of advice or the taker? In a way, the giver just wants to talk about their experience. The taker wants to use the advice. It seems more realistic to have the taker vet what's told to them online.
Using something with the syntax of an email address is a requirement. Having that be a real, deliverable email address is a convention. If it's a fake address, then sure, spammers can see it, but spamming it is useless to them.
What's the purpose of using 2012 hardware to avoid UEFI? All UEFI-capable hardware I have used had options to disable secure boot from the BIOS or would boot signed Linux kernels anyways.
I could see this being used as part of a distributed system for shopping. for example, say you have 20 stores, each with its own storage area for items, but you also have 2 large warehouses. Your online site might need to know which stores have stock now, or which warehouses have stock. The site might allow you to do "Click and collect" do it would need to know, in somewhat real time, which stores actually have the stock. each store would have its own endpoint with a data feed that the central server can get data from. Same with online orders for delivery. It needs to know what warehouses have the stock, and if none do, how to get the store to ship it to a customer.

Likewise, the stores might need to know what is in the warehouses, or even across town; someone walks in store to order something, but its not in that store. But they know, in real time, that its in the warehouse for delivery next day or that the store across the city has it.

What is done now is a more centralised approach; all sites would have a connection to a single DB in head office that stores everything. This makes things more distributed and, in theory, removes a single point of failure.

I should clarify, I am not working on any of this, this is just how I think it would work... if anyone wants to step in and tell me if I'm wrong, right, or just plan stupid, please shout.
No estoy de acuerdo con tus politicas
The Metaverse, at least in theory, is the connection of all aspects of your digital existence into a seamless whole. It wouldn't be limited to Facebook, it would give you a digital identity you can freely carry between websites, VR environments and devices.

In reality of course none of that exists and Meta has so far not shown how they plan to accomplish that. Worse yet, Facebook is directly responsible for making things not seamless on the Internet and in VR. So I don't have much hope (or fear) of them actually being successful in building that. But their vision is a lot broader than just Facebook in VR.
The Way Software Firms Conduct Technical Interviews Is Broken
Saltwater, meet sun and remineralization.

And really, $1 is too expensive? How much do you need? I use ~10m3/month during summer for myself and a small garden.

If you use more, well, [thread title]. Smh, talking about resources running out and changing lifestyle.

But yeah, those further inland will have more trouble.
Running at full load without noise is something that is easy to achieve on a desktop if you want it, and almost impossible on notebooks with any kind of comparable processing power. The coolers and fans you can put into a desktop are just so much larger and quieter than anything that can fit into a notebook.

If you care about fan noise and regularly put high load on your computer, a desktop provides much better options here. But I was also surprised just how much processing power you can put into a modern notebook, my Ryzen 8 core CPU in my notebook is not that much slower than the one in my desktop (which is a bit older than the notebook). But the desktop is silent at 100% CPU load, the notebook isn't.

For me the biggest issue though is monitors, I like to have two large screens. A single screen always feels somewhat limiting to me.
Voluntary participation in the military can be a great way to learn leadership skills that can translate to other occupations. No one should be forced to serve but it is possible that with the right motivation it can be beneficial to individuals and society.
That's interesting. This made me look up the empire's relation to Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī[1], the mathematician whose work influenced the name Algorithm. He is named Al-Khawarzmi after the city he originated from. The same was for the Khawarazmian Empire which started from the same city.

It's not the topic of the article, but I will never understand how anyone can do work like programming and data analysis, or even write reports that pull together information, without a desktop computer.
I didn't have high hopes for this, but the second word of the abstract incorrectly refers to Gamma-hydroxybutyrate as 'GBH'. Many other grammatical errors in the abstract alone. Maybe it's unfair to judge a preprint for this? I don't know.
> Surrounding countries in that area have to have generations of festering hate for that country.

Most surrounding countries don't have festering hate for mongolia. It's only in the west we do. The mongol empire is actually admired in much of asia.

> if you’ve never brushed up on the history of Mongolian conquest… it’s just insane.

I have and almost all of it is exaggerated nonsense.

> but I’ll never be surprised if China decides they want to wipe them off the map some day.

China is more likely to wipe out Britain or Germany or France or anyone else than the mongols. Why would china wipe out the mongols when much of modern china is a mongol creation starting with the yuan dynasty.

> It’s a shame their culture wasn’t privy to much technological advancement regarding long term settlement.

It's not a matter of technological advancement. It's a matter of the nature of empire. The mongol empire, despite the stereotype, was not a genocidal colonizing empire. Most empires throughout history weren't genocidal colonizing empires.

> Modern borders would likely be much different if they had been.

Modern borders are different due to them - from vietnam to hungary, from russia to india and everywhere in between.
Imagine what he spent on "x.com" getting back from his founding paypal in 2017

I'm convinced over the years he is some kind of weird "man who fell to earth" trying to fund something weird. (now I need to go watch that movie again, the cool original version with Bowie)
>This is rather a local problem specific to the US. It was shocking to find out that speed limits in the US are not limits really.

I was shocked when I found out Australia doesn't allow 1km/h over the speed limit. There's some straight and flat rural highways whose speed limit was 60km/h. Should probably have been 120km/h. Whereas this one other road which I really enjoyed driving was twisty, hilly, blind corner after blind corner. Speed limit 90km/h. I was scared to drive the speed limit there, I tended to stay around 70km/h and NOBODY passed me or even got behind me. In fact I was probably one of the fastest drivers.

Australia's speed limits don't make sense at all and worse not allowing 1km/h over makes the issue worse. Especially with risk of mobile speed traps. Driving around Australia was stupid, probably one of the key reasons I would not move there. I love australia in so many ways, even have family with permanent residence there. I would literally kill to get myself a holden ute maloo with manual trans.

Now, if we did the same... no speeding at all. I guarantee most if not all roads would be so artificially low on speed limit that it would be equally stupid. Police don't enforce speed limits because it doesn't make sense to do so.

All governments have an important unwritten rule. All crimes can criminalize 20% of the population AT MOST. Murder never has this problem because 20% of the population is not murdering. If 50% of the population smokes weed. You must decriminalize or legalize. With speed limits where they are in north america... easily 90% of people are criminalized. Police cant enforce that law. Clearly the law doesnt change behaviour. What do you think would happen to the politician who says police start enforcing 1km/h over the speed limit. I suspect the prisoners at gitmo will be like DAMN that's harsh compared to my torture.

The only way forward would be to raise speed limits until at maximum 20% of people are criminals. What do those speed limits look like? It sure isn't 60km/h on a rural flat and straight high way.

Flipside, why are highways designed with artificially low speed limits to beginwith? Revenue generation for the government.

In the US, all officers must be university grads. The enlisted ranks do not need a university degree to join. I would assume the same is true of enlisted ranks in the UK.
Back in the day when I wanted to make trouble I made trouble using Tor.

Wikipedia makes you log in with an account if you try to edit using Tor, many sites do things like that.
Interesting for some reason did not consider a dock, that one looks great but the Surface Laptop only has one USB C port. Will take a look at the MS version though thanks.
There's a big difference between saying "This was a low moment for Elon and an example of immature and rude behavior nobody should be proud of" and "Elon is an evil narcissist who will stop at nothing to eradicate opponents."

Elon was mean on Twitter. It's not like he paid people in the Thai government to frame the guy or something - which would seem much more "stop at nothing" to me.

I think it's basically the same moral fault, though maybe a slight difference of degree, to accuse a person of being a pedophile on bad evidence as it is to accuse someone of being an evil narcissist out to eradicate on bad evidence.
The ecosystem problems are genuine. Though I do not think they are so great as you make them out to be. But with respect to semantics, numpy et al are but pale imitations. With respect to syntax, too (https://www.jsoftware.com/papers/tot.htm).
Maybe The Babylon Bee will finally get their account unsuspended.
I've always maintained separate desktop and laptop. No laptop has ever run as well as a properly built desktop.

The bottom line is physics. Never will hardware crammed into a tiny case, a laptop sized case, perform as well as desktop components in even a slightly larger case. Even less so than components in a real mid tower allowed to be effectively cooled and run wide open. It's just the physics of it.
I think this is generally true if your workload is SIMD/AVX heavy: these types of “heavy” instructions cannot execute on a single core simultaneously.
I don't, but the things that I do are modular enough that I can make parts separately and plug them in when I come back.
Everyone here, including the original poster has, I believe, made a mistake of thinking the article meant to literally visualize a problem like a cartoonist. The cartoon caricature is only meant by analogy. Possibly a blind spot for those with aphantasia, but the thesis of this article isn't centered around literally visualizing something but capturing some salient points, perhaps exaggerated and not technically correct as an initial way of starting to explain a mathematical concept. It's perhaps unfortunate that the analogy chosen was difficult to understand or sidetracked people that have trouble with the process of making a cartoon caricature.
Can you elaborate on how OpenCV is built on top of Eigen? From what I can google it seems that OpenCV can interoperate with Eigen but is not build on top of it.
All the images still exist on the internet archive, just not in a format that can be explored.

What's been lost is the efforts of all the users to separate the interesting images from the chaff.. and organise them into collections. For such a large corpus that's a really valuable thing.

Also links people had to those images are just dead.

And all the images users had previously favourited have just disappeared from their collections.
Same here; doing weight-lifting exercises so I can increasingly lift with my back (instead of coddling it with workarounds) means my abdominal muscles (pelvic girdle?) are better at supporting my back in a forward bend. I'm thankful to the physical therapist who both noticed the wrong ways I was holding my body and got through to me the importance of changing (others PTs perhaps had noticed and suggested, but nothing stuck; probably due to my own bullheadedness). It feels like I'll live at least a few extra years now, thanks to increased mobility with minimal pain.

My back pain is also less in the morning if I didn't eat anything the day before. From what I've read, autophagy doesn't really kick in until ~48 hours after starting a fast, but something's going on that reduces pain.
Why stop at reclaiming former Ukrainian areas defined post USSR collapse?

It would be beneficial to the world to see a Novo Ukraine, a wealthy country committed to peace and modeled with a federalist system, taught by the mobocratic failures of the last 30 years, stretching from eastern Europe to Siberia.
This reminds me of CometD - https://github.com/cometd/cometd. Is it same in concept?
What I like about desktop computers in a WFH role is that they are tied to a physical space. The desktop is where I do my work and once I shut the door for the day, I’m done. No temptation to sit on the couch in the evening catching up on emails and reviews. I have to physically move to my desk to be in work mode. That separation is very valuable for a long term WFH gig.
Same here. I've been using them as my main account for years, no problems since I'm not trading crypto. People act as if no other bank has issues with fraud detection
Twitter can be a speech platform even if < 50% of users speak on it.

Most public speaking has more listeners than speakers. There is nothing at all wrong with that.
Its an impossible answer. I don't think it is a viable strategy either.

I don't think you are right about how much wealth the rich hold. The middle class would not need to be taxed. The illegitimate ruling class should just have the bulk of their wealth confiscated (at least according to the proposal I am trying to air here). The billionaires would still live well, but the rest of would have a chance to utilise all the assets that are currently being sequestrated away from us.

We see articles such as, 'World's 26 richest people own as much as poorest 50%, says Oxfam':

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/jan/21/world-26-ri...

I think this is a joke - we don't even know who holds what as it is all in off-shore, tax free funds and trusts, shares, etc. So the true amounts of wealth are bound to be far higher. Also, if it were possible to resolve the ownership structure, you would see that everything is owned by individuals - only living people own things. People direct the trusts, own the funds, corporations etc.

What I'm trying to get across is the fact that if we were genuinely seeking solutions, releasing this stockpiled wealth would be the simplest. It would be at least deserving of some consideration. And I'm not talking about releasing it into an NGO that directs how culture is to be created.

But we have the opposite - we are moving into a complex, AI managed world, where the poor are going to be paying carbon taxes, water taxes, have more expensive electricity and be unable to ever consider owning anything for themselves. This won't mean that ownership as a concept will have gone - it will mean the billionaire class will own everything, and the rest of us will be demoted to serfs, aka overt slavery.

But as I said I don't think this is viable answer either.

And I'm not sure what the right answer could be. For a start governments are a problem - they do not act for people, they are beholden to corporate interests. The legal system is also a problem - it only works for the rich - how can it be ok for the richest to pay no tax? Let's all not pay tax! Let's pay for the services we want. But, government has become a comfort blanket for most - most people are happy to pay 40% of their income to have their bins collected.
Ah thanks, I must have mis-remembered. I think it did say something about PDE's being the dividing line though.
The DoD could certainly use some technical help, and the leadership from ex (or current reserve/national guard aka "R/NG") officers and NCOs in tech jobs benefits the tech industry.

The issue is this - the American military Reserve/NG is not very truthful, in my experience, with the time commitments. The marketing slogan is "a weekend a month, two weeks a summer" of time commitment, or something to that effect.

In reality, as a National Guard member you'll see commonly see month-long "activations" to go supplement active duty military training in Louisiana in February. You'll see 9 month deployments as R/NG are in fact part of the military and will deploy, and you'll go over there with a fraction of the training, funding and equipment but the same mission requirements as the funded, trained, and equipped active duty unit you replaced. This is somewhat akin to a FAANG hiring a suite of contractors and subbing them in to take over Google Search for a quarter or two. When your R/NG Soldier has domestic issues, you as the R/NG are on the hook to go help them quite literally. The list goes on... All for pretty bad pay, so-so healthcare, and a civilian employer who starts having an aneurism about the lack of managed expectations from you as it's not a weekend a month and some summer vacation time.

To bring this back to tech - the situation above is very well known, and it coincides with the military's efforts to heavily ramp up its technical expertise via "software factories," civilian corps, direct-commissions into elevated ranks at higher pay if you're a technical SME like the military does with civilian doctors, and reserve units focusing on cyber or software development.

Unless the military is able to fix that above, which anyone who has spent a shred of time in active duty military can confirm exists in one form or the other, the upside-down logic of R/NG service will keep good technical hires out... unless they really need the healthcare. The talented ex-military who go into tech stay out of R/NG efforts because of this, as serving actively would damage their career.

I hope it is different in the UK!

Edit - I will put a hopeful ending to this: the PLA's (CN mil) hackers go to "work" in an officer tower in a city, wearing civilian clothes, and (at the risk of speculation I don't enough about probably) work a 9-5 or if they're up late, it's for a mission. I say this with some background in the US version of ex-mil in tech: the moment the DoD and Federal agencies enable its technical hires to go to work in NY, Seattle, or SF in a fiber-equipped office building (or really just not rural West Virginia/North Carolina/Alabama/Mass), can meet at least 60% of private sector pay with some tax benefits perhaps, and gets sane about past civilian marijuana use re: getting a security clearance, they will have more technical patriots signing up than they can handle processing. It's really just this simple. The FBI was trying to hire talented CS students out of college with a great opportunity to go work in their brand new facility for tech that they built in.... Huntsville, Alabama.
