'succeed' is kinda loaded here. Your really talking about world best, in that I agree the people who are world best are gonna have to have some innate ability to handle the pressure of competing at world best.

The metaverse is complete bullshit. Take a medium that inherently has no limitations, then create artificial limitations and monetize them. It’s awful.
I get that, but would rather have a $300k salary with a COLA each year or an S&P 500 index fund with an expected return of $300k? There is just no way your take-home income is less with the index fund over a 10, 20, or 30 year period.
I don't really understand how this could ever be a $1b business, or how that relates to the salt joke.
It's not a synonym for "goods", because only one type of thing was ever "wares"; software. It's just for dividing up the sections of your piracy BBS into, like "filez" (files, multi-kilobyte textfiles full of instructions on how to make bombs etc), "imagez", "warez", etc.

Anyway, by 1990, in the piracy circles I distantly associated with, it was quite common to pronounce it like "juarez". Sort of semi-ironically, like, it's obviously the wrong pronunciation, but nonetheless everyone uses that pronunciation on purpose. So, what could be more correct than "the thing everyone does"?

Of course, pronunciation only happens in meatspace (or at least it did back before MP3s and before YouTube and so on), and of course I'm talking about clusters of teenagers separated by thousands of km. We had "meetupz" or "meetz" in my city, which is how I know how "everyone" pronounced it... but it's certainly possible that in most cities/whatever there was some other pronunciation rule.
I made the decision, unfortunately. The rationale was literally that I hated pivotal tracker -- what a garbage app that is -- and I'd heard of jira, needed something to track bugs / work items, and signed up. It crucially had a zendesk -> jira sync, so all our zendesk requests could end up in jira.

In the beginning, with me plus 2 engineers, I noticed it was slow but since I used it for 20 minutes a week, that didn't really matter. By the time I started using it for an hour a day, we had 10 engineers on 2 teams using it. I got to see a friend using linear, and I had some spare time that I was going to use to switch, but I couldn't get in the beta. By the time they let me in, the opportunity was over and I was too busy.
The efficiency of heating things up is pretty much 100%. The efficiency of insulation can be arbitrarily high (up to 100%) or arbitrarily low; heat loss is proportional to surface area and storage time and inversely proportional to insulation thickness. If your heat engine is only 40% efficient you might as well design your insulation to be 80% efficient or so over the expected time span, which would be a few hours for grid storage systems.
Doesn't appear so, as there were a lot of experimental constraints...

The attacks demonstrated in the paper require a significant amount of prior knowledge and specific circumstances in order to work:

1) The make and model of the target laptop

2) Knowledge of the computational task being executed on the target machine

3) Training data from the target machine

4) Unusual usage patterns by the user

The first two pieces of info can be acquired via surveillance and social engineering, the last two are much harder to achieve.

IMHO in a real world scenario, this leakage path is more usefull as adjunct to a primary attack vector. eg: being able to tell that a change in computational modality has occurred with course insight into the nature of that change

That might be when copper liquifies. It will lose its structural integrity and deform easily at much lower temperatures.
This is pretty much that.
The reason for the high level of waste heat is that the system has to operate at thousands of degrees C. There is still a huge potential above room temperature. Most systems work closer to room temperature so there is space to squeeze them in after this system has extracted all of the energy it can.

Depends. Are there strong alternate products to which customers can easily migrate in next 6-12 months? If yes, and they choose to move away, then Atlassian will be in serious trouble. I wonder how many of their customers have long-term locked-in contracts and if they have performance clauses that allows them to exit such contracts.
What blow's my mind is that Atlassian stock has barely taken a hit...

“Protein fold” and “protein folding” are two different concepts. Folds are structural categories, folding is the biophysical process. But I agree that there are better words out there to name such a tool.

You may as well just delete it, then. I guarantee a high percentage of users won't save that key and be able to find it later. GH (edit: or similarly nerdy sites) might (might!) be able to get away with that, but as soon as part of your process is "give the user a cryptographic key" you've just guaranteed yourself a support nightmare, with normal users. It's why the only cryptographic person-to-person communication systems that've been broadly successful haven't involved keeping track of anything, and don't have a setup process more complex than "point camera at QR code".

In my research I've been using a method called multivariate distance matrix regression, which is a multivariate methods that regresses a Gower transformed distance matrix onto a set of predictors. In this technique, one must first choose a distance metric. I have been choosing the Manhattan distance (city-block distance) for my brain imaging data variables (volumes, connectivity correlations values, etc) because it is somewhat less vulnerable to outliers than Euclidean distance or the Pearson's distance, and somewhat better in terms massively multivariate data. I am wondering whether HN gurus have any suggestions in terms of finding the optimal distance metric?

Yes, but labs have also produced 40% efficient multijunction solar cells that work directly from sunlight without the intermediate heat absorber. Off-the-shelf multijunction PV for space applications is I think 36% efficient.

Also, you don't need Vantablack, a regular cavity absorber would be fine.)
Thanks for the detailed reply! It's been fun engaging with you.

You have really hit the nail on the head about risk, and what it means to go "all-in" on a particular provider.

There's a very relevant case to be made for electing to remain provider agnostic if your business is sensitive to outages. There is a balance between avoiding administrative overhead and mitigating risk.

I like to think about it like buying insurance (I'd put security posture in the same bucket, too). Pursuing a cloud-agnostic design has some cost per month. A cloud vendor outage has some chance of happening per month, and if it does occur it will cost you $X. The business needs to figure out when:

cost(cloud-agnostic design) < risk(cloud vendor outage) * cost(cloud vendor outage)

Figuring that out isn't trivial, especially because a large part of cost(cloud-agnostic design) will be in employee hours. At best you probably get a ballpark estimate.
At this point I'm just refuting absurd chess arguments more than I'm defending Hikaru. Objectively Hikaru is one of the best places in the world. I'd make similar defenses for most players on his level.

Your criticisms so far have little to do with actual chess, despite your attempts to make them as such. You have a clear bias mixed with a casual understanding of the game and it doesn't hold up very well.

Most decent bare metal setups abstracts away the same class of "your hardware died" problems. E.g. my first rule on this is everything runs in containers whether I run in a cloud environment or on bare metal. The OS image is identical, and include tying into service discovery and a suitable orchestration mechanism (which can range from something trivially simple to, say, Kubernetes). Any modern server hardware has IPMI or something equivalent, which means you plug it in, configure the IPMI, configure network boot from a tftp/bootp or similar server holding your installation image, and from there on out you're deploying containers the same way as you would in a cloud environment, and back them up and arrange for failover the same way as in a cloud environment.

I've set up more than one hybrid setup where you didn't need to know if your workload was running in AWS or Hetzner or somewhere else, so we could use AWS for elasticity and Hetzner to keep cost down.

This is not a hard problem. And if people don't have the right skills in house, it's easy to outsource this (I for one used to make my living of automating setups like this and operating them on a retainer basis).
If you were to advice a sanctioned country on how to launder money or evade currency controls you would also be penalized in the same manner.

> (i.e. they take in 1/4 to 1/8th as much light)

Not sure if this is true for macro. For a given angle of view, the amount of light collected is determined by the absolute diameter of the aperture (as opposed to the f number). It’s rarely practical to use a very wide aperture for macro photography on a DSLR for depth of field reasons. People do all sorts of unnecessarily complex calculations with crop factors, but in this scenario all you have to think about is the diameter of the aperture in mm. The phone has an aperture of perhaps around 3-4mm. You’re unlikely to use a wider aperture than that shooting macro on APS-C or full frame.
Yes, but the pumping power is about 0.2% of the total power, so this is not a significant consideration in practice. If it was, people would use solar chimneys instead of mechanical fans and pumps.
Yes, I agree that the heavy reliance on algorithms by media sources today are a big part of the problem in finding new fare that's worthwhile. This is one of the major demerits of AI and machine learning -- pattern recognizers learn and highlight only the major signals they already know -- the peak of the bell curve dominates search results. If the mainstream is not what you want, you hired the wrong travel guide.

But creativity and innovation are minor signals, outliers. Probabilistic search as used by AI and ML detects not outliers, but the peak of the bell curve, the patterns that are recognizable and most popular. If you hoped to find something unusual or unrecognizable or rare, AI/ML/statistics are the wrong tools to do that. To a naive AI algorithm, good outliers look no different from bad ones, so both will be overlooked in your search results.
What if the news about NK is not entirely unbiased? (I have no proof either way, just asking the question)

Edit: People are taking my comment wrong. I am asking this because there are a lot of assumptions people have, I know almost nothing about NK, and the comment I replied to seemed somewhat irrational, a little reactionary and certainly vindictive.
But for practical applications, the availability and cost of materials to survive the operating temperature is also relevant.

I wonder how their advertised "vector database" works. kNN combined with embeddings from pre-trained deep learning models can be very useful for information retrieval, (e.g. searching for duplicate/similar images or text).

In the past I have used a k-d tree [1] for this, which allows O(log n) searches in the vector space. It seems they are offering a k-d-tree-as-a-service.

Point on insider trading law that the inimitable Matt Levine writes about frequently:

The law is not about fairness, but about theft (of inside information). In particular, it is illegal to misappropriate someone else's information you come across to do insider trading for your own benefit. But it is not illegal for someone to use their own information to trade on.

In this case, Coinbase published a list of coins that it might list. As I understand it, it would be illegal if some employee of Coinbase bought these coins prior to the release for his own account (thereby misappropriating the information). But if Coinbase bought them for their account, and then released the list, and then made money on the subsequent rise, that would be perfectly legal.

See for example here:

Stepping past the arrogance for a second, there’s more to macro photography than f#. A big factor is the working distance to the object. Not only is this important for skittish live subjects, it’s also important for static subjects for the practical reason that the extra distance provides space for proper lighting equipment. A good used Nikon macro lens can be had for less than a grand and a DX SLR body for less than $300. That’s cheaper than the price I paid for my iPhone 13 Pro, which has proven a bit of a disappointment for macro work.

Further, the wider open the lens, the more shallow the depth of field, which is already quite shallow in macro work. Having the space for proper lighting can allow one to stop the lens down and capture more parts of the image in focus. F# is a secondary consideration as macro often works best at f/8 or f/11.

People involved with GME used to refer themselves as the "Apes", and reading their main forum on /r/wallstreetbets back then, that would be a pretty accurate characterization of what they "know".

Multivitamins are often sort of a scam: they contain cheap versions of vitamins that are not directly bioavailable, and essential minerals that are in a non-water-soluble form. All this leads to poor bioavailability.

In addition, some vitamin forms are actively harmful, such as the very common vitamin B12 form, cyanocobalamin, which releases cyanide as it becomes bioavailable. Better B12 forms such as methylcobalamin can be demethylated enzymatically and the free cobalamin is then able to bind to free cyanide (or other toxins) and remove them from the body.

It sounded like it wasn't the heat that got converted to electricity, but rather the photons emitted by the hot object glowing, and since your vantablack object is not glowing you would expect to get nothing.

But maybe not, the glowing comes from black body radiation, so the vantablack material would presumably glow as well (ironically). As long as the heatsink coupling did not block the visible "white" light produced, or glowed itself, then at least the photons from the back would get used. I expect that getting a heatsink paste rated for 2200 C is ... challenging, but, conveniently, you'd do better if you just skipped the paste.
> I doubt that at their scale they have a staging environment that duplicates the customer data.

If there is no feasible way of replicating their production environment somewhere else, then there should be some sanity checks in place. Something like "if an abnormally high amount of customer sites go down during the script's execution, kill the script". This is a 20/20 hindsight approach though and if Atlassian engineers can't solve I doubt a random HN user like me can.
