I've been clear on HN multiple times that I saw no future in the Solaris/SmartOS ecosystem by 2014, which is one (but not the only) reason I left it. I was right too: https://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/solaris.do

Russia would not launch nukes against the US, because that means an end of Russia.

I don't see how it is probably not the best idea at this point, since Russia will continue its rape and murder spree otherwise.

My Dad was not an alcoholic but he had anxiety due to a long illness. Anxiety is terrifying to the person who has it but also to those around them. It starts silently and even people close to them may not even notice.

Looking back when I was with my Dad little things now stand out more quirks as to why small things now upset him. As Dad's illness got worse I could see the anxiety but still I wasn't sure what I was seeing. My Dad a blue collar worker arms the size of my legs, impervious to anything, stoic. But to see the affects of anxiety on him was terrifying.

Thank god for these types of drugs it made my Dad's life bearable. It's not perfect but living in terror versus being a bit drowsy is the better choice. I wouldn't wish anxiety on my worst enemy.
Depends on the Org. If you work for a university, lacking a university degree certainly will provide a glass ceiling.

Most orgs, you don't need an MBA or whatever. In fact, having those are often a detriment. To get the C level exec is still an education that you need. It's an education that dogs know instinctively. You don't need to know anything technical, you need to motivate and empower those who are below you. It's people skills that are most important. Even if the position does require some credential that you lack. Having people skills will almost always put you ahead of someone who does have the credential and lacks people skills.

Unfortunately no. GitHub Apps can be scoped to a repo, GitHub OAuth tokens cannot. A lot of things fall in the second category.

You’ll also discover this if you try to create a personal access token, it’s all repos, you can’t limit them to a particular repo.
In this example, of course person A is completely in the wrong, but this is a bigger problem of being so immature that you can't admit any fault.

My suggestion is more along the lines of: use a pairing session for review so that you can bring your empathy as well as your technical expertise, and make it a step in the process just like any other steps (testing, PO approval) etc, and just trust people to do it.

I don't think there's any reason to use a tool from open source, to make code review enforced and with passive aggressive online communication and "blocking". Just seems to make work more painful, and less efficient as well actually.
The obvious reason I used that disclaimer was the fact that Russia’s government decided to invade Ukraine.
> I don’t need “cover” for anything my opinion is quite common.

Yes, but it being 'quite common' doesn't necessarily mean that it is right.

> I think if NATO had rejected admission of other Eastern European countries the war would never have happened either.

Putin seems to disagree with you there. He's been dreaming of a USSR revival since the day the SU collapsed and he's on the record about that. Note that all of the countries that did not join NATO when they could have by now been attacked or have been threatened with an attack. And two of them have been bombed back into the stone age with untold loss of life.
Sorry, another point to add:

Basically, from my observations, people who over-do niceness often have a profound fear of criticism. That's exactly why they over-do nice in the first place, and keep asking questions to make sure they "get it right" (and thus, avoid criticism). So giving them honest feedback may backfire.

I'm simply pointing out your comment, "Lately, almost every conspiracy theory has been proven true." is incorrect. Almost every conspiracy theory is a very encompassing term.

I think that the climate crisis will be the thing affecting more people by 2030. I'm very interested to hear how proof of work would help alleviate that.
Since this article is specifically about Javascript: I think the implementation of async/await in the language is heavily constrained by a desire for backwards compatibility.

After all, async/await is ultimately promises all the way down, so you can happily write code and let a compiler turn it into ES5 that runs anywhere.

If instead JS allowed you to shunt arbitrary function calls off into their own threads, then you would need bigger changes to the engines to support that, and you couldn't back-port that to vanilla javascript.
I hear this phrase everywhere "Every layer is a change in representation of the previous layer". Is this mathematically proven or is this an assumption looking at the image classification models layer?

I have a M1, got it because I wanted to try something new. Now I love my M1, but it’s a special time. They capitalized on Intel/AMD sleeping on RISC architecture and going to smaller nanometers. While apple is strategically buying up time on a limited production capacity like no one else can. Innovative design integrating all kind of slow components. I think it was an opportunity that won’t last, intel and amd are waking up to this fact. I see AMD and Intel coming up with some RISC and hybrid type solutions. Where they might not be able to do better is the PC integration. Memory and processing have always been separated and it’s going to be hard to integrate those just because of the cooperative structures. I think Apple can stay ahead if they keep going. If there is a M2 this year that is better, I’m buying it again with more memory, because M1 has been workable it’s not optimal for all my workflows.
I think slumping Mac sales just had more to do with Apple putting out tired, flawed products and letting them languish especially on the desktop side. Why buy a laptop that will cook itself and have the keyboard self destruct in a year or two or a desktop that hasn't been refreshed for 3+ years? Their investment in the late Intel era was particularly bad. Were they expecting AS earlier but just couldn't get it where they wanted?

> I'm in complete agreement that workers' rights should be stronger and protect them from quisling employers. But there is also something to be said about the technological mechanisms that allow the mass-mob to form.

Agreed entirely, but it’s interesting to note that 99% of the public discourse here on HN and also elsewhere focuses on the technical mechanisms and almost none of the discussion is about workers rights.

As the parent points out, the free speech position against cancel culture is internally inconsistent. That’s why these discussions have no solutions; because the paradox of increasing free speech by restricting free speech is never resolved.

Which is why I think we need to move past the idea of the mob. The mob has no power if your employer can’t fire you capriciously and ruin your life. That power exists irrespective of cancel culture, and needs to be curbed. Doing so would also serve to restrict corporate power considerably, which is why I believe this area of discussion goes unaddressed (it’s that there are a lot of people who are both anti cancel culture but pro corporate power.)

'few workloads that benefit from AVX-512 would be better off on a GPU.'

Have you seen the state of GPU software development? GPUs are very expensive in cloud, are poorly supported in containers and virtual machines If you want to use GPU compute, some stuff is Nvidia-only, some stuff is glitching and crashy, it's probably not avaliable in your language of choice, etc.

It is literally impossible for me to add GPU compute to any of our corporate workloads, but I can tap into AVX easilly in my language of choice.
Yup. We're in a "bubble," right now.

It's an industry, where people make pretty sick money, for little experience. In fact, younger folks often make better salaries than older folks.

I worked for over 35 years, and never made as much as many kids right out of school, make, at FAANG (or is it now "MAANG"?) companies.

I was able to save and invest enough money, though, so that, when I was given the cold shoulder, at 55, I was able to take my toys and go home. That is a very, very rare privilege, and I am grateful. I feel as if I dodged a bullet. Many of the companies I looked at, made it clear, that, even if they did me the huge favor of offering me a job at a vastly substandard salary, they would treat me like garbage.

When the bubble bursts (and that may be coming. The horrid quality of so much of today's software is a real chicken coming home to roost), we will have huge armies of terrible programmers, desperate for work, and making it difficult to filter out the good ones.
Ah I forgot about that. Thanks.

How? By upping the pain medication?
I'm Canada but the devices are not covered by the government but maybe by Mom's drug/health plan. Mom has insurance but I don't know what it covers and she probably doesn't either but I'm sure it must cover hearing aids. She refuses to even talk about them other than what my sister and I manage to pry out of her.

I also know my Mom and how to her $10 is like $100 so hearing aids even $1,000 to her would seem astronomical in price. She'd retort, "I'm fine without them".

It's been a decades long battle someday she may give in.
The SS’s core mission isn’t protecting the president. It wasn’t until 1901 that they added protection to their duties. They have been tasked with financial crimes since 1865. Creating another agency when the SS is very good at what they do is pointless.

Despite occasional missteps (any large org will have problems from time to time,) the SS is one of the best federal law enforcement agencies ever created.

To your point of creating another agency so the SS can focus on the president, we could ask the same question why the FBI investigates kidnappings and bank robberies while also doing domestic counter intelligence. It’s possible for agencies to do more than one thing.

> Does the Navier-Stokes equation model (experimentally observed) turbulence accurately? I was under the impression that this is an open question.

No one I know working in turbulence regards the Navier-Stokes equations as a bad model for turbulence. They typically regard the equations as a source of truth about turbulence.

Focusing on turbulence in incompressible fluids [0], almost every time I've seen a comparison of "direct numerical simulations" using the Navier-Stokes equations against experiments measuring turbulence, the two matched well. Off the top of my head the only time I've encountered a discrepancy was deemed not due to the Navier-Stokes equations themselves but due to not modeling the initial or boundary conditions correctly [1]. Initial conditions refer to the flow field at the start of the simulation. Boundary conditions refer to conditions at a boundary, like a wall. Initial condition modeling is a big issue in certain flow instabilities like the Rayleigh-Taylor instability to my knowledge. The Navier-Stokes equations are chaotic, so they are sensitive to small changes in the initial conditions.

I'm not aware of anyone working on flow instabilities like the Rayleigh-Taylor instability who attributes a discrepancy between the experiments and simulations to an inadequacy of the Navier-Stokes equations. And to my knowledge I don't think any of the mathematicians working on the blow-up problem regard flow instabilities as clues indicating where to focus their attention to make the Euler/Navier-Stokes equations blow-up.

[0] You could, of course, pick a situation where the Navier-Stokes equations are known to not work well independent of turbulence considerations.

[1] Having worked a bit on initial and boundary condition modeling, though not in the context of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability, I can say that initial condition and boundary condition models are often bad, and they are understudied.
Off topic: I’m a bit surprised about Gregg’s desk (pre-pandemic). I imagine he’s getting a top level salary at Netflix but yet he’s got a small desk in what it looks to me a shared small office (or perhaps is that a mini open space office? Can’t tell).

Do you know whether that's available via GitHub proper? I'd like the user identity for commits to be accessible through the API, but last I checked it wasn't.

Apple's genius is in selling Rolls-Royces to the masses (or at least to a sizable fraction of the masses) - bespoke chip design seems in keeping with this strategy.

I would argue that the masses don't need Rolls-Royces, thus this is resource mis-allocation on a global scale - but certainly Apple have pushed device and UI design forward strongly, so maybe we can live with that.
As an ML Research Scientist, I have never heard this interpretation. It's a very interesting thought that NN == kNN. It puts some of my lingering intuitions in clear wording. Thank you for this.

I think you are close to truth. This would explain why even the largest language models can't generalize beyound the training set.

At the same time, I disagree that analysis is out of proportion. It might be some clever averaging, but it does useful and interesting things. Take a look at Google: some clever averaging can get you a long way. It would be great to understand how it works and how can we go beyond it.

I do believe we need a paradigm shift, but it does not come out of nothing.
