I'm a student at a university that uses Turnitin. I understand the need for the tools and I absolutely don't have a problem with them using automated tools to check my work for plagiarism.

What I do have a problem with is the fact that, after uploading an assignment, I am required to click a checkbox that says "I agree to Turnitin's end-user license agreement." I should not have to agree to a license for a piece of software that I'm not even using; it's my professor who's using Turnitin's services. And if it's 11:55 PM and I'm trying to submit my assignment, it feels really scummy to suddenly force me to sign a legal contract that I don't even have time to read.
No, a16z is very explicit about their views. This is not from Ben but from the current managing partner:

> A 10-year exercise window is really a direct wealth transfer from the employees who choose to remain at the company and build future shareholder value, to former employees who are no longer contributing to building the business/ its ultimate value.

Thanks for correcting for my cut/paste brain damage!
I like keybr! The only thing that bothers me about it is that many of the words are made up, which means I have to think more about individual letters than I usually would. On the flip side, it does help you directly address your weak spots.

Another tool I like is https://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english. It's simple and enables you to practice for 1 minute at a time. Sometimes I'll do it while I'm waiting for people to show up to a meeting
Why are there no tests?
- Speeding up the video saves you time

- Listen to the audio only, occasionally take a peek, don't tell me you are being productive 16 hours a day

- VideoGames are visual so it's a natural to present them with video, hardly a blame for the authors
I hope this works. One problem is that it excludes new entrants to the hobby space, on a board which was primarily designed to help children and teens learn about computers.

I’m sure Pimoroni carefully considered this. Thee gear is certainly made with a lot of thought. We live in weird times.
Why is the mother of all scientific questions. If you just keep asking "why is that?" every time you see something strange, you'll learn so many things. Not everything has a cause, that doesn't mean it doesn't have a why to investigate.

HN?

I'm sure there are many 'HN-like' forums for many other topics.
I'm mad the browser has gotten not at all better at doing HTTP. It's criminal that Fetch never developed Push support[1], and now the browser is removing it, having never let us even try to use this capability. I think things like multi-way streaming are probably much more doable with modern Fetch, but I'm not totally sure.

The browser folks have such a narrowminded view on what http is for. If it can't help them load pages off one of their CDNs faster, they don't care.

It’s only a good filter for whether or not someone is or has been poor. It’s a terrible filter for determining someone’s character.

I’d even venture to guess there are far more criminals and generally unsavory characters with a bank account than without.
Perhaps hire the Randi foundation to design an experiment. This is not "psychic", but they have a lot of experience designing foolproof test for voluntary and involuntary fraud.

For example:

Make one person roll a dice and tell the number to the patient ensuring that nobody else can hear it. Kill the person that roll the dice to ensure the result is secret. Make another person read the BCI and write down the result. Repeat this 18 times and then look at the video and compare the dice and the BCI. It's a success if they guessed correctly at least 9 times. The expected number of correct answers is 3, and the probability to guess 9 randomly is only 0.1%.

If they do this only once, live streaming the experiment it is enough for me, but perhaps it's better to have a lower probability for a random guess. Also, I like that the "success" threshold is one half of the experiments. It's easy to explain, not too much in case it's not perfect, and less than a half is not impressive.

This is clearly not the case, this is a sign of progress of carbon free production capacity but not the grid. It doesn't mean we should not be happy about it. But we need to stop mixing everything

I don't see it as anymore over-engineered than SSR.

In traditional SSR, using a template language, you craft a query and expose your variables to your template.

In SPA, you craft a query and expose your variables through an API.

I guess this sounds dismissive, but it just doesn't sound that impressive. Anybody can do that on any cloud provider in a mostly vendor agnostic way with some docker-compose or kubernetes yamls / terraform scripts.

I think you've lost touch with where the non-AWS world is up to and are assuming it's still where it was in 2012. It's not.
I have nothing to add except to say the illustration on your page of the mad scientist rabbit with the carrot is fantastic :)
I ask again: what makes you so certain? This does not correspond to my experience with tech interviews.
What I do is skip relentlessly through videos (using left/right keys on PC or tap-tap on mobile) and adjust the playback speed to be as fast as can be intelligible, I can get the gist of a 20 minute video in 2-3 minutes this way. Then, if something catches my attention, I go back and watch that at normal speed.
Yeah, because fuck those workers who try to make a free market work for them once in a while. Don't they realize that market talk is only a way for their social class superiors to justify doing whatever they want, and that it isn't for them?
This might help, but I'm confident this is not the primary cause, here. The effect I can see is not that of the buildings receding, but of the colored blocks floating off the surface of my monitor. They even seem to exhibit a small amount of parallax if I move my head.

Kind of, but it is very brittle, and you are doing something the OS does not intend you to do.

Interesting take,

> Some people just like the infra work

I think AWS improves infra work. Using CDK is a joy - primarily because it's clean, simple, and reproducible once you have stuff up and running. But the process of getting stuff up and running is its own kind of drug, it's a serious puzzle (unless you really really know what you're doing) which I find really rewarding to solve. I'm a pig in mud with CDK.

Compare that with traditional infra work and I immediately start to worry about how to make sure that everything is provisioned correctly, that other people on the team aren't messing things up, how I'm going to implement zero-trust type auth without something akin to IAM, how I'm going to implement monitoring without the monitoring system becoming its own beast....
Unfortunately it doesn't seem that that one is legal on my 'fast' bike (but on the slow one it is).

You need NTA 8776 approval for those.
Nice! Good say!
That's a ridiculous claim. The SEC would first have him disgorge all profits before heavily fining him.
Finding AWS alternatives in an AWS world generates clicks.
So, no copying SuperMario64 then.

But my opinion stands for things that are not available this way.

> While I'm perfectly happy to criticize "progressive communities", there's nothing hypocritical about not wanting to live in a London with 25M people.

Yes, there is. If you live in London now it's probably because you or someone in your family benefited from a system that now excludes anyone not already in it. We ditched the landed gentry a few hundred years ago, I'm not super excited about bringing them back.
Tesla at Moss Landing went live 2 days ago. 256 Megapacks, 182.5 MW / 730 MWh. The facility will eventually host 1,500MW/6,000MWh of battery storage.

Tesla has also broken ground on a Megapack manufacturing facility (Lathrop, CA) employing 1000 people to build roughly 50GWh of storage per year.

I think e-bikes decrease this issue compared to standard bikes.

While I never rode on sidewalks when using a standard bike, I'm much more confident in traffic on an e-bike. It's just much easier to deal with stop-and-go traffic on an e-bike.

On a regular bike, I was never entirely comfortable riding on the road. You're either riding in traffic and holding up a lane of cars, or you're too close to parked cars and risk being doored.

With e-bikes, I can easily keep up with traffic in the city, even in stop-and-go traffic conditions, or at traffic lights. On an e-bike, I have no problem at all pretending I'm a car, and obeying traffic laws exactly as I would in a car.
Bullying is rampant in India and it was rampant in my years in school.

I was the unfortunate recipient of it for years. It was mostly physical, exclusion and quips/harassment uniquely targeted to you that starts hurting when literally everyone is throwing them at you.

I have always found the bullying portrayed in American media to be weirdly sexual (eg: swirlies) even among men and emotionally traumatizing.

The smart kids are rarely bullied. The bullies are usually under-performers with insecurities who target kids who can be cast into an 'outsider' box.
That, and the fact that like any institution it exists in part to keep itself and its budget justified, if there aren't enough problems then you can always make some 'easy' cases (legally easy but morally more than a little bit ambiguous) so they can serve as a chunk of that justification.
I checked with my kid and shops no longer let little kids by cigarettes or beer. How customer unfriendly!
I just checked out a bunch of videos to test it and it seems like a mixed bag of results. Some played on 480, then had a bunch in a row go to 1080, then back down to 720. Seems pretty annoying they don't all match my tv at 1080 since the videos that used lower quality did have a 1080 option. Not sure if there is a way to automate it for you.

It did for a few days. I relentlessly always increased quality. After a while, they stopped. I guess I was too stubborn for their bot.
The economic reason people should be paying 100x the cost to supply is to incentivize people to build spare capacity.

I've been considering the Surface Laptop for the 3:2, high PPI screen. According to this [0] so long as you have a recent stock kernel, the only things that don't work are pen and touchscreen (touch screen requires kernel patches on Intel arch, AMD doesn't support at all). I can live without both.

We have complex non-linear stuff that maps really well to the meta heuristic approach that OptQuest uses (https://www.opttek.com/products/optquest/). It’s not free and has only a Java API but the time it saves us is worth it. I hear Python bindings are coming this spring.
Intellectual property is imaginary property, private or not. it's not a real thing until committed to a medium.

Upkeep of the fiction that intellectual property is real property has societal benefits for a limited time insofar as works of art - and the original idea of copyright was reasonably limited. Over 100 years is inhumane.
> they made absolutely no money on the sales

They made money, sure. That's revenue. If I sell a widget that costs 1 dollar for 2 dollars, I made 2 dollars in revenue and 1 dollar in gross profit. But if I spend that 1 dollar towards the construction of a new factory, I made 0 dollars in net profit. So why should I get taxed on money that I didn't get to keep or profit from?

Amazon is not a profitable company, if you want to see how, just look at their yearly earnings reports, they're a public company so anyone can look.
This is an important study but I think has to be interpreted carefully. They verify an effect on depression symptoms but don't find an effect on overall rated quality of life. It would have to be replicated but is broadly consistent with some findings that psychiatric treatment effects don't always have the boundaries you'd think they would. It would be important to understand what differs between the depression measures and QoL and what of that is being moved by the antidepressants.
No, it's common to measure storage with MW when you're talking about dispatchable power.

For example, a 10 MW battery can replace a 10 MW gas generator (assuming it has enough capacity to cover the relevant peak, which is usually a fair assumption because that's what they're designed for). If you only know a battery has 20 MWh, that's not enough information to know what equivalent amount of generation or ramp it can replace.
that's fair, I was being too sardonic

i've spent a bit of time today looking into qwik and I appreciate what they are trying to do

Yes, that would make sense because lots of grow lights can cause significant heat. I don't think heat technology could see individual people through a roof though.

Good for him.
I always wonder if the original devs ever find these videos and are like oh shit we should've done that.
Idk, for content that doesn't teach me anything important I prefer video over text, as I can play it on the side while doing something else (that doesn't require too much focusing) and if something sounds interesting/important I might pay attention for a while.
> using AWS is fine, as long as you use cloud agnostic stuff and avoid AWS specific services

This is the worst of both worlds. You get the expense of AWS but without any of the things that would make the cost worth it. IMO you should either avoid using their services and move to something way cheaper (OVH, as the article mentions Hetzner), or fully buy into the benefits AWS has to offer.

> The sofa problem is a so far unsolved geometrical problem that was described in 1966 by the Austrian-Canadian mathematician Leo Moser . It is a two-dimensional idealization of the practical problem of moving furniture around obstacles.

Doesn't seem to have much to do with the actual problem of moving furniture, where the third dimension is heavily exploited.
I used to use Matlab's fminsearch a lot. In retrospect I barely understood how it worked and I should have taken much more time to understand it rather than just throwing it at stuff. But I ended up getting some good results with it (some antenna design stuff).
Because the options, when they vest, have no value. However, an ITM option does have value. The amount it's ITM. So you'd have to pay the amount it's below FMV as income, right?
I think search should be split into two categories, one is seeking advice from other humans, another is pinpoint exact doc retrieval without the fuzzing or auto-correction bullshit
IF there is a shortage, which I agree there probably isn't, it is exacerbated by relatively low salaries that keeps Europeans from entering the field. Why become a software engineer in Germany? Unless you make it into FAANG you are not much better off than becoming a schoolteacher yet you get none of the benefits like job security and long holidays. Schoolteachers don't become "old" when they turn 40.
I wouldn't bother with software development in Europe it is not a great career path. European companies can fetch cheap workers from the 3rd world really easily and the next step is to simply hire them remotely. The ones who make decent wages in European tech are only managers or scrum masters, never the people who actually write the code.

When you have an outage, it's possible the instantaneous cost of electricity is in fact 10x/100x/infinitely more than baseline cost. Looking at it as 100x more employees is the wrong direction. If you're producing 1/100th the electricity for 5 minutes due to power outtages but you still have to pay all your employees during that time, your instantaneous cost (per unit energy) actually are proportionally higher.
That's true and it's not true.

An increasing number of startups issue their grants such that they qualify as ISOs if exercised within the 90-day window but automatically convert to NSOs 90 days after departure (with the actual exercise deadline dependent on employee tenure), so that the employee and their tax advisors at time of departure get to decide how to handle the tradeoff of more time for reflection vs better tax treatment.

What's more, if an employee gets more than $100k of exercisable options in a year - very possible especially in cases where early exercise is allowed - only $100k of those are treated as ISOs. There's no way in which the tax law privileges a short post-termination exercise period for the excess above $100k.

Last, some companies use the same options plan both inside the US and outside, including my two most recent employers. Most employees working outside the US, with some exceptions like US citizens and green card holders, wouldn't have to care about this US tax law nuance.
After several years of exploring, my current gotos are:

* Minion for IP for scheduling + edge crossing minimization.

* cvxpy (wrapping ECOS, OSQP, and SCS by default) for convex optimization for making nice geometry.

* Z3 and STP for SAT/SMT for program analysis.

All are FLOSS, which is my main criterion in many situations.

Beyond that, I like minion for its focus on only providing efficiently implementable primitives, cvxpy for the awesome lectures and documentation the folks behind it have produced, and z3 + stp for their use in tools I like, such as klee.
Agree this is mostly dead in America. It's one of the reasons my family settled down where we did.

Phoenix Arizona has many master planned communities designed around this lifestyle. Our neighborhood has an "interior" grassy/park like section with trails that wind and twist for 22 miles connecting all of the streets. In the center of that is our local school. Most houses are within two blocks of an entrance to the trails, and you'll see kids out running and playing all day. In the mornings you see the kiddos all commuting by foot to school - many wait on the corner to meet up with their friends before starting off on the walk.

I know of at least two other master planned communities that have the same setup with a central school. Wish more of suburbia was built like this.

It's a way of life that is worth more than the value of my home to me.
You for sure don't want glass lenses. Your biggest issue isn't poly, it's your lens thickness. Best way to get the thinnest lenses possible is to use round frames. Perfect circles would be ideal, rectanglish in any way is going to thicken them significantly. Mention those issues to your eye doctor too, they'll know how to reduce abberation with different lens designs if that's something that bothers you.

Unrolled loops trade instruction cache for cycles. Whether it's good depends on what your bottleneck is, in this case ram access is a bigger bottleneck than cpu due to being shared with the rendering coprocessor. I wonder if we'll hit this crossover point again in the future.

That’s a fair point.

I don’t really agree with it, because

- we will continue to fossil-fuel-burn ourselves out of the problem, climate change be damned

- we’re not actually running out of coal or natural gas

- even with oil, extraction is getting more expensive rather than falling off a cliff

There are geopolitical constraints around importing fossil fuels. These were temporary in the 70s and they’ll be temporary today. I don’t want to play down the effects of this: it can really ruin your decade. But geopolitical constraints aren’t permanent.

You didn’t mention the demographic transition — a greater proportion of pensioners having their pensions paid for by a smaller proportion of workers. This is surely going to be a massive drag at some point, and is something we haven’t experienced before. Is it starting to cause pain? I don’t know.
I spent my first few years of life living in a city near a downtown. My friends were a mix of colors, nth-generation residents, immigrants, and refugees. Race had nothing to do with why my parents left. It had everything to do with the serial rapist attacking our neighbor and still on the loose, the markets down the street getting repeated drive-by shootings, etc.
