IIRC LLVM's IR verification is not enabled in release build. In other words, if you're using rustc with debug version of LLVM the error message should pop up.

EDIT: "...LLVM's IR verification is not enabled in release build..." this is wrong, LLVM doesn't turn off verification based on its build mode. It is up to the user of LLVM, namely rustc in this case, to enable verification. For instance, you can verify IR after each optimization Pass (which is pretty expensive) by configuring `llvm::StandardInstrumentation` properly. Or you can verify the IR before codegen by switching up one of `llvm::TargetMachine`'s options. Clang always enables the latter (verification) by default but disables the former regardless of the optimization level or its build mode.
I usually don't. I don't want the comments to color my thinking on the article.

I agree.

It's completely speculative. There is no evidence at all that Spiking NNs really work better is any circumstances.

Speaking as someone who has worked in the ML field, it feels to me like advocates for them are caught up in the biological plausibility argument. That's an interesting branch of research, but has very little to do with how AI should be implemented using transistors. In some ways the "neural networks" name has done a great disservice because people keep getting caught in the trap of comparing them to how the human brain works.
The easiest solution to getting rid of the crufty old regulations would be by shutting down all obsolete nuclear power plant designs and building new ones. Considering the financial cost of a single nuclear meltdown, upgrading your entire fleet is basically free. That upgrade will save you a trillion dollars in clean up costs.
I don't know how much I can trust Mozilla with my privacy. I know it's not Mozilla's fault, but 90% of my millions of DNS requests that leave my house go to Mozilla tracking services. It's kind of scary how much information Mozilla has on people, just based on what leaves my house (and no one uses Firefox). I have no idea if Mozilla does any aggregation on that data, but it's a bit worrying IMHO.

For me at least my reasoning for trying new things to make notes with is that I very very rarely actually read them again, so I need to get as much learning done from writing the notes, and to do that I need to write more notes e.g. make writing the notes fun.
google wifi also has the same option, using fq_codel, almost as equally hidden. IMHO having it on by default would improve both products out of the box experience. UBNT now does it by default, at least.

I agree it's possible, just not that this bill does so.

But the bill you linked to doesn't require either of those things. There are explicit provisions for people without driver's licenses in it, and it didn't ban absentee voting.

I tried it when it first came to Elements but I didn't manage to set it up so that stuff from each bridge went into its own space. It seems to be more something for matrix communities on the wider network, not for local bridges. Perhaps it's improved now but it didn't work for me when I last tried it.

I should give it another try though. I'd kind of forgotten about it because after the first try I've hidden the entire vertical bar for it, to reclaim some screen space. So I haven't given it any thought lately.

However, it is potentially the first step in a slippery slope that leads to that kind of screening.

If such invasive screenings are implemented it will impact the already dismal commercial appeal of intercity train travel in USA.

It makes sense because Covid was far more dangerous w/o vaccines and w/o Omicron. The amazingly rapid appearance of a wide range of effective vaccines and the very fortuitous appearance of Omicron out of the blue seems to have provided the path to normality. People willingly forget that things were not looking quite so rosy a year ago.

And remember, there could have been a zig towards SARS/MERS toxicity rather than flu-like toxicity. Better to keep the transmission rate as low as possible so more places didn't max out their medical facilities. Remember the reefer trucks holding those who died from covid, and places with 95% ICU occupancy and real problems getting a delivery room?

Here in Canada the numbers from effluent testing suggests a very large wave is starting. So far, there has not been a spike in ICU occupancy although hospital occupancy has started to tick upwards. If this continues to be the case, we're in a fundamentally different place with Covid. And man, I hope that's the case - we all do.
If I were designing a new language and where dead-set on the =- form I would make it so:

I see that you missed the point about selling on chemical production after local tankage is full. A full battery is just full. A full tank can be shipped out and an empty dropped in. Tankage is much cheaper than batteries.

The other benefit for apple is that if a generated email address for Home Depot has non Home Depot content, it's easy to block, since it's clear it got sold to a email marketing company.

And then Apple can then threaten the corporations to not sell their mailing lists or risk being cut off from sending to icloud, or worse, having a header in the email from Apple saying that "Home Depot doesn't respect your privacy and sells your email address to 3rd party marketing companies. Here's a telephone number where you can complain."

You don't.

A social network is a community, a home for people. If you kill it now then that's it, it's over, dead, finished, finito, you won't be able to revive it because you killed all your users trust.

Hand it over to your active users or keep it going, and forget about investing, just ask for donations from your users, that will keep you going and you'll get more than you thought possible, not everything needs to be FB/Reddit scale.
Yes, but if you do have nonessential cookies you should have an obvious button to reject them.

> The bill would prevent teachers from keeping secrets about children from their parents. It enforces more speech, not less.

If teachers must disclose student confidences to parents, it discourages students in unsafe homes from letting on to their teachers that they’re questioning their sexuality. That’s a chilling effect on speech.
Until recently, visiting a family member's beach house meant I didn't have cell service (at least for my carrier). They seem to have added a new tower to the island, or maybe adjusted their beam spread and now I can get a signal there.

This probably is a matter of how much you need tons of money. For me, joy and satisfaction in a project is worth more than something that makes money, but then I have a full time job that keeps me and my family comfortable.

Just not seeing what you are seeing. Thank you though.
For me, the biggest issue is that it's incredibly annoying to reject non-essential cookies. It usually involves clicking "Cookie Preferences", scrolling through a bunch of options (which are mercifully unchecked by default, thank god), and finding the "Reject All" button somewhere. (As the author points out, this experience is significantly more painful on mobile.) If every site simply had "Accept All" and "Reject All" as options, I don't think it'd be a big deal.

You have to have the generator somewhere to get the code. If it's in software, you must have access to that software, and it must be secure.

I could be wrong, but my impression from posts like this one https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2020/12/14/provenance.html is that even C doesn't have a fully coherent model for what happens when we start doing weird things with pointers. Apparently there are LLVM bugs open that ultimately need to be addressed by the standards committee?

But doesn't society defining this consist people deciding what's harmful?
The problem with contact tracing is that it's hard to do at large scale. And the effects of the contact tracing are preventative quarantines which are also harmful to the economy. Testing is a good one though, I have some issues with the masks (due to illness in the past) and I often agree with colleagues not to wear one but test instead. I might even do that when they're not mandatory anymore (hopefully soon).

But we have many viral infections we come into contact with on a daily basis. We can't avoid them all :)

> Not to mention, unless we're sending sick kids to school, parents will be in deep shit.

This is exactly caused by the quarantines and lockdowns, not by the virus itself.

> And on a personal preference level, I would much rather have a week or two of lockdown every year on average

But it won't be a week or two of lockdown. The Netherlands had a major lockdown this christmas for Omikron, they took it too seriously as they wanted to wait for confirmation it was not going to overload the health system. After they lifted things, it came right up (though didn't overload the health system, as per experience from other countries).

With the contagiousness at the high level of Omikron, a lockdown will only be effective for its duration. We'll be in a lockdown nightmare.

Often. Sometimes I don’t read the article at all because I’m more interested in the conversation happening than I am in whatever the article was about. And it’s common for HN comments to evolve into a conversation about something the article is tangential.
Agreed. Easy way to de-risk a decision is ask, directly. Also surfaces any "real" reasons.
Posting two anecotes to contribute to the record.

One set of friends who live in Shanghai are Chinese. They have complained about lack of food. They didn't have extra food in their house when the lockdown began.

Another set of friends are a mixed couple (European/Chinese). Two days ago when specifically queried how they are going they said they had been in lockdown for nine days and had only received a small amount of vegetables from the government 5 days in. They said the volume of food was clearly completely insufficient for their family of four, and "thank god" they had some extra food in the house. They said while you are allowed to order waimai (home delivery food), the demand vastly outstrips the supply so it is functionally impossible to do so.

In general, compared to the lockdowns experienced elsewhere in China (with the possible exception of Wuhan initially), it seems the suddenness, scale and length of the Shanghai lockdown was particularly extreme and this has caused logistics challenges.

What a load of shit. So he sets up this opinion piece with a poorly constructed straw man (quite literally a false statement in every _discussion_ I've been part of) then uses this as an anchor for the rest? I mean, this is one of the most aggressively conventional takes on cancel culture I've read over the past year.

Yes, and I often don't read the article at all, especially if it's blogspam that can be largely inferred from the title.

e.g. "Why I like small projects"
> I’ve worked with a lot of great engineers in their 50s who had no problems reporting to someone in their 20s, but I’ve also worked with some grumpy old guys who wanted their 2-3 decades of work experience to be the trump card in every dispute.

True, but I bet those grumpy old guys were jerks for other reasons before they had that trump card to play. In other words, some people are just like that, and will use age as an excuse.

Relevant personal anecdote: In a previous phase of my career, I made it to director level along a certain track, only to discover the work (and frankly the personal investment) was dangerously unsuitable to my, err, temperament.

So I switched careers at age 40, and the second manager I had was only a couple years out of college. She was an amazing, natural manager, much better than I ever was. Why would I get mad about the opportunity to have a good manager, regardless of age? Some people are good at that stuff AND it doesn't drive them insane to do it, so more power to them.
I've found that I have no problem reading books, so long as they're exactly what I'm interested in right now and I have a copy available. I've found I absolutely struggle with reading books when I'm no longer as excited about it as when I impulse bought it and it's been sitting on my bookshelf for 2 years.

Switching to reading books on the kindle app on my phone was so successful for me I racked up credit card debt impulse buying title after title, so I actually blocked the kindle app and removed my card details from Amazon.

Audible worked for certain titles/genres and not for others. It's a lot less effort which can make quite a difference, but I find I absorb information differently. The upside is progressing through the text isn't reliant on your executive function, so it happens more consistently.

Physical books sometimes I just can't put down if it's super interesting to me right then and there. I've definitely struggled to make my way through physical books where I'm reading it because I know I should/ought to.

Another thing I like about physical books is there's nothing to click on. No tabs to open. However, I found I would go through the bibliography at the end of each book and as a result buy 3 more books. So, to counter that dynamic I sat and physically ripped the bibliography out of the hundreds of books in my bookshelf.

I dunno man... it's just hit and miss. Like everything in the ADHD life.
> We've come to the consensus that large language models are just stochastic parrots

Anyone who thinks this REALLY doesn't know how language models work. A properly trained LM will only parrot something back because of lack of diversity in training data. This does happen in some cases (eg, GPL license or something) but those are pretty unique cases.

People on HN seem to think this a lot, but they are just wrong.

I just don’t see that as a great strategy, when libraries like Heaps, Kha, and Monogame all have support for consoles that is provided once you prove you are a part of the developer program, and also have proven, quality products released. As you mentioned, Unity, Unreal, and even Game Maker, provide a clear path for console support. I don’t want develop an entire game with a library or engine, only then to have to hand over the keys to a third party company. There are so many games on the Nintendo Switch store because it is actually comparatively easy to get your game onto there. There are obviously challenges associated with licensing, but I don’t want further challenges dealing and negotiating with another 3rd party later down the track.

It appears to me that console support is a means for the Godot creator/contributors to make some money. That’s ok, but there are too many unknowns for many developers to consider it as an option. If it was clearly stated “pay X amount to gain Switch/Xbox/PS support”, I would totally choose Godot.
True. But what it does instead is turn the already controversial no-fly list into basically a no-travel list.
Clicking on a cookie prompt would be admitting it will do something useful, which is a clear falsehood.

They're certainly giving it a go: San Diego, Seattle/Vancouver, Toronto/Montreal, Denver, Austin, North Carolina, Berlin, Cambridge UK, Boston/Cambridge. There's going to be more, as both Austin and North Carolina are tangled up in US politics.

The key thing is the view of the "pertinent governments" towards non-competes. SV took over from Boston back in the 60's-70's because of the (very?) business-oriented treatment of such things. Route 128 was where minicomputers came from and all those related things. If the local environment is favourable towards money AND workers, things will take off. And even with the more-conservative environment in Boston/Cambridge, it's still the centre for biotech/pharma and applied ML/AI. But for that niche, the schools aren't in SV, they're in MA.
