Hi HN! I'm Clark, one of the maintainers of magic-trace.

magic-trace was submitted before, our first announcement was this blog post: https://blog.janestreet.com/magic-trace/.

Since then, we've worked hard at making magic-trace more accessible to outside users. We've heard stories of people thinking this was cool before but being unable to even find a download link.

I'm posting this here because we just released "version 1.0", which is the first version that we think is sufficiently user-friendly for it to be worth your time to experiment with.

And uhh... sorry in advance if you run into hiccups despite our best efforts. Going from dozens of internal users to anyone and everyone is bound to discover new corners we haven't considered yet. Let us know if you run into trouble!
> insisting on keeping things I haven't touched for months easily accessible

I think this highlights their entire UI goal design i think. They constantly pressure you to watch new things. They want to inflate their unique viewer counts on as many shows as possible. They want to hook you on something new before you finish what you're watching.

>The noise thing, I believe, has to do with your settings

makes sense, ill check it out. maybe there is a setting in there for continue watching priority too
Unsurprising and totally expected. [0][1]

But yet again, we'll see the same old screaming and shouting 'scam' comments everywhere even when Stripe isn't the one scamming and only was waiting for regulations before entering back in.

It's also interesting to see no praise or any critical critique yet on this announcement here with what Stripe is offering and where the exact so-called scam is.

Perhaps the typical screaming and shouting 'scam' comments will only happen in the next crypto / DeFi hack / scam post on HN, but not when Stripe releases something in its product offering about crypto.

Maybe when they say 'crypto has no use case' they cannot deny Stripe's involvement and them using it which also explains that it ruins the skeptics 'crypto scam' narrative and why they hesitate to immediately scream and comment here.

Either way, we'll see but in the meantime USDC looks like a sensible choice for crypto payouts.

>Dubai is plainly not a human scale city.

Ok and?

If their median/average/<whatever> quality of life is greater that way then so what?

Every ideologue latches onto buzzwords like "human scale" but forgets that the whole point of that buzzword is that the thing is represents theoretically goes hand in hand with quality of life.

Look at the local climate and land situation for Dubai. It's not exactly a surprise that they prefer to just spread everything out and travel in cars. Just a 1/4mi walk from subway station to destination would be pretty uncomfortable for large parts of the year. At least in St. Petersburg you can put on a big jacket during the uncomfortable part of the year.

I don't know of any new architecture that is choosing big-endian. Almost all of the ones that I can think of that are/were big-endian have added a little-endian mode.

Thank god for that! In Wasm we just decreed little-endian, and I think this was one of our better calls.
Yes the user experience on this site is AWFUL on mobile.

The stand-first vanishes when you scroll but the bottom of it is cut off so you have to scroll to be able to read it.

Then when you scroll a pop-up appears asking me to sign up to emails.

Absolutely not.

I gave up even trying to read the article.
A big chunk of it is just nice to have - 250 or 500 would be just fine. I do however benefit from 1gigabit on some fronts:

* Usenet - easily maxes out 1g

* I've got a hypervisor here so lots of ISO templates, docker images, package pulls

* I host various things from home. Seeding (actual) linux images, sheep-it render server, crypto node

* Game file downloads - steam etc.

So definitely a luxury, but not entirely pointless
You already are autogenerating code in Lisp (using macros), but not without keeping the source for it, which still lives in the source files. If those files are not loadable into a clean image, you're doing something wrong (like CMUCL people find out a long time ago).
I've been doing this for years. Very few companies have actually sold my address. Federal Express and USAA traded lists for a while.

The largest source of spam is from domain registrations and other public records.

The next largest source is from breaches: Ameritrade (they lost a backup tape), MtGox, and a bunch of small vendors over the years.

One thing that is interesting to note... when I get unwanted mail from a source I recognize, the unsubscribe links both work and do not lead to more mail. (Example, the parking vendor at the local stadium started sending me event newsletters for the stadium... but sending it from themselves, not having shared with the stadium.)
I don't know if that would change things, they know the whole SSL Handshake by virtue of being the ISP. I'm not sure anything can save you here.

As a teenager, I thought a technocracy was the perfect system for a government. Then two issues presented to me:

- There are plenty of dictators and autocrats with top-flight degrees in the sciences, economics and civil engineering.

- The majority of the most able and intelligent people do more to avoid a political life than strive for one.

After reading the Fountainhead, it became quite clear why expertise should not imply rule.
I'm a long time user of Tcl. For me, the biggest strength of Tcl is it's C API. It's quite straightforward to implement extensions. That, and the people that were involved in the language early on are incredibly smart and creative.

I had the good fortune of working with Michael McLennan and George Howlett for a while (both mentioned in the referenced history).

Michael's "Effective Tcl/Tk Programming" is a fantastically written programming reference. He was a prolific creator of interesting applications and toolkits. I recall him creating a GUI for our boring corporate bug database where he added a points system to make fixing bugs "more fun".

George managed to avoid incrementing the version number on his BLT toolkit by appending letters of the alphabet to releases. I never did learn why. I just checked and I see he made it all the way to 2.4z!

Everyone's already named the big culprits and hacks, but I'll name a smaller one.

I tried Huel (UK soylent clone) a very long time ago, and a few years later, I started to get phishing emails to the address I used.

When I told them, they just ignored me. I'm fairly sure they were hacked or breached. The emails didn't contain any real info though, so I assume it was just their mailing list they lost.

>I understand what you're saying, but it's worth noting the M1 definition changed in 2020 to "recognize savings deposits as a type of transaction account".

I have read about this claim. Interesting that they changed this definition at the same time as the pandemic and pandemic stimulus/QE? Why didn't they do it 5 years ago during a boring time while everything was under control?

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/government-debt

Gov debt increase ~6 trillion.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/central-bank-bala...

Central bank about ~5 trillion.

Those are separate accounts. $4 trillion missing? It's just a definition change, but the 11 trillion never made it to money supply? Wonder where it went.

M2 is looking rather vertical as of late. Still printing more and more eh?

Lets assume that I am wrong and it's just a change in definition; afterall who am i but an anonymous name on the internet. If I'm the fed, it's business as usual. Not going to do anything at all about this. Going to sit back and watch inflation climb. 8.5%? No, nothing to worry about. Dont need to do anything. We only changed a definition.

Yes, inflation is increasing faster than previous intervals despite hiking interest rates and even repo rate. Nah, nothing to worry about. Nothing to do here at all.

I can't wait to see what happens.

It's a strictly good deal for everyone except Musk. The price of the new shares are 50% of the price of the current shares and the dilution is 85% (not 100%) . So keeping everything else equal, if before the acquisition there were 100 shares at $10 each, the market cap would be $1,000. If someone hits 15% suddenly you can buy at $5.

The market cap stays the same (nothing about the business has changed) but suddenly there are 185 shares. So the new price per share on the open market is 1,000/185 or $5.41. So just buy the extra shares you can buy and you should be able to sell them on the open market for a profit. The only person who loses out is Musk, would now owns ~half as much of Twitter as he did before.
> What happened in Texas was a direct and utterly predictable result of market policy that did not value resiliency vs spot price.

There's a lot to this notion that the state deliberately traded off reliability for lower wholesale prices attractive to large scale industrial consumers. It's not like it's unknown how to make a power system reliable in cold weather, but when it happens every ten or twenty years (1989, 2011, 2021), it can be difficult to justify the expense of that sort of preparation. Of course, the costs of this choice are dramatically socialized across the entire state in these extreme weather events. The refinery might get cheaper power, but part of the cost of that cheapness is borne by the homeowner who loses power due to a lack cold weather capacity in the grid, can't heat their home, and their pipes burst or worse.

But the issues in TX were not confined to just the electric part of the energy infrastructure - natgas supply failed also. Some of this was due to things like wellheads freezing (wells very often produce water in addition to hydrocarbons). Some of it was due to bureaucratic snafus. For environmental reasons, many of the natgas pipeline pumping stations have been switched from running on their own gas supply to electrical power. These pumping stations have the ability to request treatment as critical infrastructure for which the power should never be deliberately cut. To do this requires filing paperwork with the state that many or most did not. The consequence of this is that as the electric utilities shed load to keep the grid up, they often cut off their own fuel supply and made the problem worse.
I agree, the article seems to imply the plot in the original paper will always be an incorrect thing to do, instead of something which can have some issues in cases when we have inaccurate tests.

I've gone back and updated the colab notebook to use orderings exclusively instead of values and you can see that the auto correlation plot B from the first article exists when the noise is high enough but disappears when you reduce it, definitely not a statistical law.
Pretty much exactly. They had a situation with external visibility into information in the stack frame and don't seem to have made an effort to tell the compiler. I mean... it's their compiler! It's their ABI, even! They have all the levers and dials, and somehow the fact that their exception counter is being optimized out means that the "architecture" is the weirdo?

Yeah. At its root this is a Conway's Law bug. The people responsible for "exceptions" had a senseless wall between them and the people responsible for "stack frames".

To be fair the congestion in that area is also because of a significant number of the side roads across Lewisham/Greenwich having been closed to enable the low traffic neighbourhoods - much needed but making congestion awful as a consequence.
People don't read because most authors can't write as well. Most of longreads I come across could be summed up in a single paragraph, so nowadays I usually read the HN comments first to figure out if the text itself is worth it.

There was a time when French was the lingua franca (literally). Academics are exposed to more of its vestiges than lay people. I didn't mind it.

In a way I feel like this is indicative of one of the points of the essay: the expectation that authors today need to dumb down and distill their work into cereal for the lowest common denominators in order to sell more copies.

Granted, there's a fine line between gesturing to your intellectual forebears and just being an obnoxious prat, but I don't think the author crossed that line for the worse. Time to brush up on your french?

Openreach have limited upload speeds even on their FTTP offering, I’m guessing because of the limitations of GPON and their commitments to minimum speeds.

There are some networks that are popping up using XGS-PON now which is quite exciting as it can deliver up to 10Gbps!
isp contracts usually include something called an Service Level Agreement (SLA) that gives room for this sort of service degredation.

maybe there should be some discussion over statistical properties of that degredation and minimum service levels, because ppl tend to watch tv at roughly the same time.
> It also constrains some optimizations like reordering.

Ha! As if C compilers really cared about correctness. This is why type-punning and aliasing memory through different typed pointers is fraught with peril, often UB. It's so C compilers can cheat and use type-based alias analysis, breaking programs that have "UB" but would work absolutely fine if the compiler wasn't so aggressive.

In general, almost all arguments between language design and optimization for C/C++ are settled with "let's not think too hard about how to help users; go ahead and optimize this and make it their fault (UB) when they observe the hard cases". It's so rude.
And this is why our governments love China so much. As Trudeau said:

"There's a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime."

And it is also a reason why governments and their pet projects, despite their claimed authority, are not actually serving those they purport to serve. Huge projects at public expense - eg the creation of the road networks we do have - don't necessarily serve people, but do serve corporations (eg automakers).

> car-friendly is directly at odds with anything that would actually improve the city

this is because our solutions to car-friendly cities usually mean tearing down neighbourhoods, more pollution etc. there are solutions that please both sides of the table, but they usually involve huge costs. and in the current climate of litigating everything combined with political polarisation and the very nature of democracy, they're usually a non-starter.
Actually the more I trust Twitter the more risk I am exposed to. Avoiding Twitter and discounting anything to do with Twitter is a better risk management policy for me.

Bingo. Filter bubbles are nothing new. Newspapers are lo-fi filter bubbles. Each newspaper occupied a different part of the political spectrum with its own biases. The concept of "following" is also a filter bubble. People will naturally follow other Twitter users with similar views, until the point where most of their feed consists of like-minded tweets.

We are independently blaming every social media platform for what is, fundamentally, a human problem.

Oh, it's definitely not "always the republicans", the Democrats also can't figure out their own email addresses. I routinely receive DNC and other left wing nonsense, including invites to parties, Biden fundraisers, etc. to my more "generic" (ie. first initial, last name) Gmail account. I've marked these as spam, unsubscribed, etc. and still get them because either the orgs are dumb (wouldn't be a surprise) or people keep signing up again when they don't get them to their real address.

This is an "I'm dumb and can't remember my email address" issue, not a political one.

I also get the usual run of the mill receipts, reservations, etc.

> ...I’m less likely to care about the needs of users like that...

I kindly suggest you not lump in users/employees with the behaviors of their employers. Any company that i might work for might indeed be "leeches" as you noted, but that does not mean the user/associate/employee is one also. It might also be the case that said employee actually only works for such an employer as a necessity...you know for earning a living, but not really share the morals/ethics of the employer. Some employers require proprietary controls on their source code, hence preventing employees from using publicly availablr repos on github. Now, if i were to get "graded" on my low activity on github for personal projects, then i get your point...but to automatically lump in both employee and employer into one actor's ethics, seems not right.

> A downward-growing stack is more intuitive. To access items on a downward-growing stack, you use positive offsets; for instance, sp+0x10 could be the second stack-passed argument to a function. For an upward-growing stack, you have to use negative offsets.

Why would one use negative offsets with the stack pointer instead of positive offsets with the base pointer?

Using the stack pointer, I can never dynamically push something onto the stack without changing the offsets.
From a scientific and technical perspective it's easy to be optimistic. It's the political science part that makes me pessimistic.

I think the other piece that has been glossed over a bit is that DK are using quantiles (for both the test and the self-assessment). That means everything is bounded by 0 and 1, and you can't underestimate your performance if it was poor, or overestimate your performance if it was perfect. Or conversely, if you're the most skilled person in the room, your (random) actual performance on the day of the test is bounded above by your true skill, and vice versa for the least skilled. So e.g. we could simulate data with perfect self-assessment of overall skill, add a small amount of noise to actual performance on the day of the test, and get the same results. The bottom quartile (grouped by actual test score) will be a mix of people who are actually in the bottom quartile in skill and some who are in the higher quartiles. The top quartile by actual test score will be a mix of some from the top quartile in skill and some from lower quartiles.
Sort of. AFAICT, it had more to do with the fact that you can't drop knowingly allow f-bombs on broadcast TV without having your license taken away, so sometimes reporters will pretend they misheard something so they don't have to cut away during live interviews.
