> Thus, this optimization is incorrect and may not be applied.

You're right, and I was wrong in my initial take on things.

I currently believe the first version of the code is fine, but that the second version is clearly incorrect. There, you'll see it's using an address derived from `y` to modify memory modified through `x`. The translation to the second version should either not be allowed, or it should not continue to declare the arguments as `strict`.

As for the promise that `strict` makes, I interpret to be a promise both about the function and a promise from all callers of the function. In other words, it's a promise from the programmer(s) to the compiler, and nothing more.

For instance, the arguments to `memcpy` were declared as `restrict`. The documentation doesn't allow overlapping ranges, so the implementation would be fine. However, `uwu` could call it with overlapping ranges. It doesn't matter if `uwu` didn't make the promise, it has to uphold it for correct behaviour.
I'll let Aaron Swartz explain.

Ask HN: Has anyone successfully renegotiated an AWS non-compete?
I have an offer from AWS and as part of that they want me to sign a non-compete. I've signed non-competes in the past but reading through the AWS one is making me very nervous.

It basically limits me for working for a competitor of ALL of amazon for 18 months. Amazon does literally everything! I would pretty much be locked out of a job for 18 months if I left voluntarily or not.

All other non-competes I've signed have been scoped to just the areas of the business which I have confidential info about. This amazon non-compete make me worried I could be sued for even getting a job as a grocery bagger because it competes with their grocery chains?

Have any of you who work for AWS re-negotiated your non-competes? I would be ok signing a non-compete that is just limited to areas which I have confidential information about but I'm worried that asking the hiring manager about this might cause them to pull the offer.
> The challenge screen does require typing in the repo name which is a pretty solid attention-getter.

This is not quite correct. In requires inputting the repo name. It's attention-getting the first time. But recently with some colleagues as part of a handoff we went through 50+ repos and archived the irrelevant ones. Very quickly the person doing the actual archiving went from typing to just copy-pasting the repo names. For programmers, copy-pasting from one spot to another can become very mechanical.

So I think this UI choice works well for something that is done very occasionally. But it's no better if people are in the habit. Whereas showing novel information about the cost of the choice would be helpful in breaking the routine. Then could then also make it so that they had to type something only when the operation has a high cost, and what they typed could be something not directly copy-pasteable.
Pretty sure NASA still has some SunOS running on old SPARCs as part of some older missions data chains. Some Mbus serial hardware was the sticking point IIRC.
Cannabis triggered my first panic attack, which then triggered my depression for a few months.

I can relate to the desire to self-police among cyclists, though it sounds like this person was road raging as well. I often hear complaints from people who only drive cars that cyclists (as if they’re a monolith) are recklessly inconsiderate, and it hurts me knowing how hard I personally try to ride responsibly.
Here's the thing. That phrase "burden of proof" is used by those building fake authority to build up an audience and sell pseudointellectual content to their userbase... the likes of Sam Harris, Scott Adams, Neil d. Tyson etc. are known to do that and it seems to be used in those crowds. It seems like a great phrase when they seem to use it when talking to people they already agree with and make other people look silly (video title: "Sam Harris owns X") and it may be a hit in that crowd where the audience is clueless about it... but if you take it outside, people will point out to you that it's silly.

In forums like this, when it comes to new things, people are trying to make sense of what is happening by sharing their opinions and what they are basing them on... in hopes of getting either supporting or opposing views and letting that collective opinion sharing guide themselves and others into what might really be happening. We're not defending out scientific paper nor are we building up fake authority to scam people.

Hey, I completely lost my hearing in one ear about five years ago. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. But I'd encourage you not to be too worried about it.

Personally, I only notice it in very loud situations in which someone is speaking to me on my deaf side; otherwise the sound bounces around and reaches my working ear anyway. I don't feel "disabled" in any way. In fact I rarely think about it. I've been given a hearing aid, but I don't bother with it, frankly I just don't need it. The body is quite amazing at adapting.

I did some fundraising in CA, London and Berlin, and my experience mirrors yours. European investors seemingly wanted Facebook-sized exits of highly successful growth-oriented companies but nearly all offered really poor terms with high requirements. I specifically remember one German investor wanting me to show multiple years of profitability for a seed investment.

There are still some dumb TVs manufacturers like SWEDX in the EU and Sceptre in the US. I don't have any of their products so I can't tell about their quality.

Also some Samsung models use Tizen as the OS, which hopefully could be more easier to jailbreak.

Another option are signage displays, which usually (not always, though) are big dumb unconnected monitors. They're also a lot more robust (and pricey) than consumer TVs.

I'm understanding this all as a way to simplify designs and make it easier to bring in central controllers and automation to manage end to end 'virtual circuits'.

I've never heard of segment routing (SRv6) and I'm happy to see it's not a proprietary feature by some vendor[1]. If I'm understanding correctly, segment routing allows a designer to cut out the traditional labeling and traffic engineering protocols like RSVP-TE and LDP/TDP but still retain the ability to do multipathing (ECMP) and traffic engineering.

What I'm not sure of is if this replaces VPLS/EVPN (overlay VPN mechanism) or if those features still ride on top of SRv6. It looks like the IGP (routing protocol like OSPF) needs extension support for SRv6 to work.

I just found a Cisco presentation that touches on a lot of this[2].

For those wondering, these features are available today on the major platforms

I mean all stop signs. I have yet to see a single city where the vast majority of stop-sign-controlled intersections couldn’t have been better served with yield signs.

Get rid of the vast majority of stop signs, and you’ve eliminated a huge amount of the problem this law seeks to solve.
My whole point is "reasonable" is an opinion, and really easy to justify when you're not part of the out-group. The stakes on this (who can edit one website that represents the de-facto knowledge on the internet) are either very high or very low depending on who you ask. The idea that people want to protect that makes sense.

What I feel does not make sense is pretending that you're "open" when you stifle millions of (innocent) people. To show the escalation, there are people who would gladly round up millions out of billions to throw in jail or murder for the sake of the safety of the rest of the group. And it would be reasonable to them because it provides the billions with safety. But I think its extremely reasonable for the millions (and in particular the innocent among them) to complain that "this isn't really the open, free, democratic society you promised and maybe you should admit that at this point".

TL;dr- Let's stop pretending Wikipedia is open to all and isn't about Wikipedians controlling Wikipedia.

Clay Shirky's essay, "The Semantic Web, Syllogism, and Worldview:" [0] is a powerful warning about the pitfalls of global efforts to categorize information.

In the early 2000s I had a manager who evangelized "the semantic web" to our team as being just years from taking over the world. He was convinced that we needed to integrate RDF into every product to remain relevant. Shirky's essay persuasively articulated why this would have been a waste of effort for us.

Years on, these ideas still influence my analysis of elevator pitches, business plans and requested features.

edit:

Thank you, Clay!

Search radars have to handle a lot of noise and signals from a number of sources. The radar systems need to be programmed to understand returns from different target types and their operators need to be trained to understand the readings. My point is based on the Russian navy's ignominious history it's unlikely their radars and operators have adequate capability to detect any aircraft or weapons that didn't exist in the 1970s when they were first designed.

Additionally even if drones were detected the Moskva may not have been equipped with heat seeking munitions. Even if they had them, a drone at stand-off distance can easily be out of range of their targeting. The drones also only need to occupy the ship's attention long enough to distract it from the incoming anti-ship missiles. Even if the drones are shot down it's a small price to pay to disable or sink the Russia's biggest naval asset in the Black Sea.

Finding things even in calm seas is hard. Aiming at those things is harder. Hitting those things with a fast moving thing is harder still. Poor equipment increases those difficulties as does poor crew capability. All of those combined makes for single use submarines.
Also, it's hard to see through windshields. When you're not sure if that was a wave or a weird reflection, you err on the side of caution.

I'm convinced that the "normal" way Americans consume weed is basically an overdose for most people. Heavy users drive the market and the 30% THC and higher strains are targeted at those high-spending, high-tolerance users. I started to enjoy weed again when recreational stores opened up and I could find 10-15% THC weed that gets me pleasantly high, not paranoid and incapacitated.
Let me rephrase-- This law only changes things for cyclists when the intersection is clear. If there are cars going through the light, then the cyclist treats it the same as they always have.
Generally, are non-competes even enforceable? Especially in industries (like cloud providers) where there is a very small number of players.
>We go there to make noise about how the world could and should be a “better place.” We go on Twitter to noisily call out strangers...

Do "we"? I certainly don't. A few product updates, feature previews, giveaways and that's it for me.

>Neoliberalism and its incessant privatization of public space also explains social media’s weaponizing of morality. Rather than a digital version of the town square, Twitter is the privately owned space in which private companies and billionaires can compete for public virtue. Rather than real citizenship, that’s the mock political identity of our neoliberal age.

What exactly is this publicly owned web forum which the author pines for? I guess he cannot create it himself, because then it would be privately owned. What is he proposing? A government owned "public" Twitter?

If there is no actual proposal, it is interesting that this issue is now so pressing. When this publicly traded private company was banning and moralizing, it didn't seem to be an issue. "It is a private company, go somewhere else if you don't like it", was the standard refrain. Now when the shoe is on the other foot, the problem is private ownership.

From my side it reads as if Elon has master-level trolled partisans. His stated intent to literally take the company private should have been the first clue.
If we've learned anything from reading HN, a sample of two isn't statistically significant, especially when talking about startups. I've known people in several startups and very few cashed out - and they were all in office.

It's interesting that you state that Startup #2 paid very well in return for coming into the office. I get paid very well for doing my job, regardless of whether it is remote or in office. If Startup #1 has decided that remote means they don't need to pay very well, then that is probably your root cause.

Many A/B tests as RCTs do suffer from the fact that they're randomizations of convenience sample of users coming to a web site, but it's always seemed to me that randomization addresses most confounders due to population heterogeneity. Is there some specific confounding variables you worry about that are not addressed by randomization in this way?

One challenge for me is how to explain to marketers what the "Probability A is better than B" means from a Bayesian perspective. How do you convey to them that such a probability is not a frequency of an event? I haven't met anyone who is not a statistician that won't default to "you know, how often it happens" when pressed to define probability. My attempts to engage marketers on this fall like water off a duck's back.

In general I prefer NHST methods because I often require reasonably tight error control. Do you do any kind of calibration to ensure error rate control when doing your procedures? Or are your clients comfortable with less tight inferential error controls?
Because of the effect that is actually found (variance is higher the less achievement) it follows that people you encounter who wildly overestimate their ability are more likely to people who are poor performers (the same is true for the inverse, but they obviously don't stand out anecdotally to us).

IMO that explains why Dunning Kruger seems intuitively correct even if the conclusion they drew isn't actually correct.
America does seem to have an absolutely enormous number of stop signs. Here in the UK 99% of what would be a stop in the US is just an implicit yield - a road joining another road is a yield. Obviously it's a yield - you'd be mad not to yield - so no need for a sign.
What is this article about? Is it about the privatization of public space? Because that would be an interesting subject to elaborate on. Is it about your objection to people being self-righteous and "woke" on Twitter? That's much more boring, tough luck and welcome to humanity. Is it about AI? Frankly I have no idea: that part of the article seemed like a wild right-turn when I hit the bottom of the article.
I mean you are correct, but why else would a pointer be converted to it if not to cast it back at some point? I guess you can print it for debugging, but most other uses means it will be used as pointer at some point.

Is it? Or maybe he's identified a legitimate opportunity considering that about half the nation feels as though twitter et al are more likely to clamp down on discussions of their ideas under the guise of "misinformation"? Stroking his ego is a bonus.

From a strictly business perspective, there's room for a public square which is friendlier to right leaning thought. Arguably from a sociological/political perspective as well.

It’s easier to market “psychedelics” than meditation, prayer or something like DBT. We should learn from that and try to make more things as popular as psychedelics. “Put this little square of paper on your tongue” is much less of an ask than “sit in chair for 30 minutes everyday and be mindful of your breathing.” It’s like the McDonald’s approach to mental health, and who doesn’t love McDonald’s!
