There are many ways of slicing and dicing things so that you group different sequences, e.g. group permutations as the same as you have done. But by "number" I was referring to a sequence of symbols drawn from a uniform distribution, so order matters. (On the website, you also choose options sequentially, anyways.)
None of those points matter as this is not how it works, and you have few seconds to convince someone who visits your website without second chance as you have on HN. Potential clients will bounce of your website as I did without even question anything.

EDIT: To help out a bit check this resources:

Website design at this point doesn’t matter that much, yet words are important. Try incorporating copywriting changes and show actual product. That will help more than writing PR blog posts and post them over the internet. :)

Good luck!
Is mayonnaise a niche language.
the intent behind this project is great

the hard part is how to not come off passive aggressive

many (all?) of the places i worked at, the professional versions suggested would get a negative reaction

ultimately, that’s not this tools fault

humans hate to be asked to do anything ever
This should be available as an autocorrect on Slack and Terms. :p
> All this is beside the point; the instructions invite the subject to produce a sequence that they think will convince people it was produced by a roll of dice. But there is no sequence that SHOULD have that power to convince.

If you genuinely believe that, we can easily set up a sequence of bets where you will win infinite amounts of money from me. But of course, you don't genuinely believe that, so you aren't interested in making bets around your supposed "beliefs".
“This falls out of my job description but if the opportunity for a role expansion becomes available I would be happy to discuss reworking my contract to better align with these new responsibilities”

I see you’ve chosen to play with fire.
What are the tax implications of grants as opposed to RSUs?
This. It seems clear Jobs served a “you made it very pretty but it sucks to use” role in feedback.
I can't believe I came to write this and someone else had the same viewpoint, and well said I'll add. I don't know how, but I'd mostly grown up not caring what others are doing and doing 'my own thing'. Even in many circumstances when I look back and think 'a normal kid would have been embarrassed or mortified' I just rolled with it, all the while thinking I was normal. Later in life, I did ponder it and distilled it down to (a) identify my value system (b) do well by that value system (c) be open to updating my value system (d) take feedback in the context of our value systems--sometimes the feedback doesn't apply (e) try to imagine if the value system you die with is one you'll be okay with. Don't tell me 'I'm wrong' tell me how: I want to know if my actions are not aligned with my value system, or if my value system in use conflicts with deeply held or other chosen positions. If our value systems don't overlap sufficiently, we'll have to agree to disagree to the original point.

It's like always viewing your future as a 'gradient ascent' and your past for analysis not judgement. Make the best you can of where you find yourself. I also feel very fortunate for the circumstances I found myself in, imagining that 'I' could have been any other person.

The one thing I should feel bad about, much more frequently than I do, is not doing enough. I can sometimes be a workaholic, but with personal time I can be a couch potato when I know that I can be much more fit or social.
All of these are super passive-aggressive.
Still better than 0.1%

What people, and what expecting? I think OP new exactly what they were getting into.
You fork a blockchain by linking new blocks on the end (with bitcoin.pdf forming an implicit start node they all kicked off from). Whichever of the forks persuades enough people to continue mining on it becomes the real blockchain and the people will slowly stop working on the other forks. The shorter blockchain will never find enough people to mine it when there's a larger more lucrative blockchain to mine.
It's leveraging pretty native Postgres tooling that restores the base backup from within Postgres, then replays the WAL to the exact point and time you specify. With snapshots and other mechanisms you may get a database "up" sooner, but we've seen when we follow that approach it's so long for the PG cache to warm up that you effectively still have a useless database even though it's "up". Further Postgres itself depending on how you do it will have to go through crash recovery, which I've seen cases on some providers taking over 10 hours.

Doing the native approach in Postgres isn't perfect, but we've focused on getting the developer experience for it down so you can use your database and it "just work" and if something goes wrong you understand how to rollback seamlessly.
Is this window the author speaks about still open?

I don't know anything about money/finance. Can someone ELI5 to me if I can still get the free money from this, this year?
I never did homework, was very boring for me.

Some teachers where cool with it and would have me go in front of the class and solve it in the blackboard in real time instead, that was OK. Others hated me for it as it somewhat showed a lack of committment or interest for the classes they were teaching, who knows.
Because they have more money to pay for lawyers that make your life miserable.
Russia is an enemy of the people who make YouTube censorship decisions and also the people currently in charge of the enforcing of the laws, so it's probably fine.
It's the US government so it's safer to assume that only a $25 transaction went through. I am surprised the person didn't rethink things after the experiment went badly with $10K in limbo. It sounds like they should just mess around on a testnet the next time they feel like bucking the system.
The real stupid here is that "8 to 10 weeks to return money" is the timeframe to return money.

They repeat "feature flag" so many times but don't define it. Is that something like the options under `chrome://config`? And if so, why is an API and SDK needed for this?
Contrary to other comments I think you’re actually trying to provide a meaningful “blunt” to “not likely to become a problem” lookup table of sorts. Hope it works.
Unless someone has data for the latest Intel chips (i.e. sapphire rapids) showing the opposite I'm inclined to think this is a meme from 2016/7 that needs to go the way of the dodo.

My point is that people have been selling links to plagiarized pirated copies of artwork that they didn't create; they aren't selling links to the original.
You’re comparing apples to oranges. The correct analogy is: you pick any other sequence of numbers between 1 and 20 and then tell me you’re more likely to win because your sequence is more random.
You can also borrow against your crypto on much better terms via Compound[1].

Wrapped bitcoin (a bitcoin claim ticket trading on the ethereum network) has a collateral factor of 70%[2], meaning you can borrow against that much value, and the loan value just has to stay below that to prevent liquidation. For ETH, the figure is 82%.

You could borrow a stablecoin, on which the rates are ~1% (FEI) to ~4% (DAI) and convert those to dollars. (Or do the same with some other non-stablecoin crypto.)

Of course, then there'd be the question of how that affects your mortgage application process otherwise. What do you need to tell them about this loan? It's effectively like a pawn loan: fully collateralized and no ability to gain priority in payment in court. From the lender's perspective, it's like you already sold it, but with the option to buy back. (Not legal advice.)

> “Make a sequence that looks random” is sort of a nonsensical ask. Looks random to whom?

To other people. They specified this in the study instructions. (Not defending the study, I think it's flawed too.)
The other side of this is when you're at a startup and bring in more people from a non startup background, and they all immediately start complaining how process x was way more organized at HP or AWS or wherever they were before. At the pace we were hiring at my last job, I got to hear the same suggestions for improvement week after week while onboarding newbies - it was pretty amusing. Of course we fixed what we could as fast as we could, but the amount of things that was ridiculously broken was obviously still huge.
Coding in Java is outright ok, compared to Go.

Also, you should read the article, it mentions reactions like yours.
Many people seem to think AVX-512 is just wider AVX, which is a shame.

NN-512 is cool. I think the Go code is pretty ugly but I like the concept of the compiler a lot.
It is much easier to draw in Inkscape. As an example, you can draw a curve and add the "Ruler" Live Path Effect.
Vale does something similar as well, though presumably at compile time only?
This reads like robot-ey enterprise speak.

No human being speaks to someone else like this in a normal situation. Just say what you mean and stop dancing around silly social games like this.
Algorand is promising and can scale.

And also, decentralization is not achieved by technology. It's achieved by adoption.

You're never gonna find a new chain with strong decentralization. You have the wrong premise. Strong decentralization is the goal of DLTs, and we should select DLTs that have the best conditions to get us to that point.

It helps if the backing organization has integrity, which the Algorand foundation has shown many times.
Career Reboot for the Developer Mind
In a more even work environment it probably wouldn’t be. But it underscores how uneven the power balance is today.
It's interesting how we may cognitively accept this action as progress or effort, but have no specific understanding of what is being achieved or it's relative value.

Superficially we may assume $100 million extra dollars is being spent on something but it's difficult to tell if that's the case. It seems to instead be an allocation of existing funds to support minority students? But then you'd have to ask, were they previously not being supported but the much larger existing endowment?

Harvard seems to have done something good and I think that's the point of the website and the overall messaging, but we are given a limited amount of details to articulate exactly what this good thing is and whether it's a material change.
I prefer AMDs approach that allows them to put more cores on the die instead of supporting a rarely used instruction set.
You generally have to get a certificate of inspection when the work in a permit is complete and a number of things are technically illegal before then.
Ask HN: Do you rewrite pull requests?
Just wondering how other open-source developers deal with valid by badly-written pull requests.

I usually work closely with the PR author, giving them multiple rounds of suggestions until it's up to our project's coding standards. Sometimes the PR author "drops out" of the process in frustration, as they were just trying to give us a quick fix, and didn't necessarily want to do a lot of work. In those cases, I usually thank them, and rewrite the PR (or heavily modify it). But I'm hesitant to do this in all cases, because often the PR author is excited to see their name as part of the contributors list, and/or to see their own code used in the project.

How so you deal with this kind of thing?
This is very helpful. Thank you so much.

Some of them might require slight changes depending on the context to not sound too passive aggressive.
One interesting thing about school is the general idea that work is linear, you do every assignment given to you, , you try to complete your assignment to the best of your ability, what it means to complete the assignment is well defined, and that there is a third party who can evaluate your work.

In the real especially high growth world, Theres often no sense of a beginning and an end, I’m always “assigned” more work than I can complete, and end up dropping things. Best is subjective and I may not have time to “complete” it (docs, etc.) not to mention, being taken off for something else halfway through and leaving a 3/4 finished pr behind.
> I dont think you will sell your software to the company.

Are there cases where a one-person Ltd should do something like this?

> There are also awkward laws around consultants who look like employees.

My consultancy projects tend to last 1 to 6 months, tend to be fixed price, I set my own hours, use my own equipment, set my own work plan and usually have more than one client so that seems very safe to me? I find people complaining about IR35 rules online but most of the time it really sounds like they basically are employees.
If you have ever been to any company 401K meeting, the 401K rep will always, always, encourage young people to make risky investments and encourage people closer to retirement to make conservative investments.
Even in the Bay Area about an hour's drive gets you to Stockton which has plenty of houses for sale for under $450k that look pretty decent on Redfin.

An hour or so commute each way sucks, but if you can get a Bay Area job that is either fully WFH or that only requires you to come into the office once a week being an hour away wouldn't be too bad, especially if you can arrange the hours on that one day a week you come in so that you are't driving during the most congested times.
How 147M Specimens Are Maintained in Hidden Smithsonian Collections
Good idea, but a lot of these feel like saying the professional way of telling someone to eat shit and die is “consume fecal matter and perish in an inferno”.
I think they replied to the right one, making the point that the long comment about malware is missing the point about the type of keylogger this is trying to protect against (because many people also, quite reasonably, use the term "keylogger" as a vague description for password-stealing malware).
The thing I’ve learned early on is, with truly random sets, is they are not evenly distributed. You will at times have clumps of repeating numbers.
The most deadly device in the home is one's microwave oven - that is if it's used incorrectly and especially so if disassembled.

The power transformer in a microwave oven is extremely dangerous and must never have power applied without considerable precautions being applied beforehand, similarly during any work done on the oven for maintenance etc.

Power interlocks should never be disabled.

I'd go so far as to say if you substituted a microwave oven transformer for one that was traditionally used in an electric chair to execute people then you'd notice little difference if any, it would be just as effective.

In my opinion, these transformers ought to have very special warnings on them to that effect. Moreover, operating a microwave oven without its cover ought to be extremely difficult - much more so than it is at present.

Again, special warnings as to the dangers should be plastered all over the inside of these ovens and that they ought to be mandatory. Moreover, danger warnings on the power transformer ought to be very difficult to remove and by law it ought to be unlawful to remove them. This is extremely important when they're broken up for scrap and scavenged for parts - the recipient of such a transformer may not know what it is and then fire it up to measure it not realizing the dangers.

Another extremely dangerous device albeit not as ubiquitous as a microwave oven transformer is the neon light transformer, they produce thousands of volts at often well in excess of a hundred milliamps (certainly so on high capacity ones). They're truly deadly yet you often see people making Jacob's ladder type arcs with them without adequate protection.

Note: I'm not you're average do-gooder whingeing about safety, I speak from experience. I was once nearly killed by a very brief encounter with a transformer that was rated at 850 Volts at load of 125 mA. By comparison, it was small compared to both microwave oven and neon light transformers. Fortunately, my body's recoil threw the transformer across the room and damaged the opposite wall, likewise I was propelled backwards and hit the wall behind me. I was essentially paralyzed and unable to move for many minutes (no one was around to help me).
I don't see why a "capitalist economy" participant would spend a single cent on discrimination of not-customers. Seems to me they would just not care about them, instead of actively discriminating, and they wouldn't try to stop them from being new customers too.
Not only are these very passive aggressive, some of them leave you with action items that I have no desire to carry out.

If I say something isn’t my job, that’s the end of it, you hear me? I will certainly NOT be happy to waste my time helping you find someone else who can do it. Do your job.
Those are client CPUs, which have very different behavior around power management than server parts. However, AVX downclocking has mostly gone away with ice lake and hopefully sapphire rapids does away with it permanently (except on 512 bit vectors).
None of them are good, but the semantics are correct: the seat is behind the handlebars, the handlebars curve correctly, &c. The fact that humans tend to draw the pieces too far apart is more a testament to our problems drawing scale and perspective than a semantic error.

(I think this would be apparent if participants were asked to draw a bicycle, followed by a bicycle without a wheel. The two drawings would be roughly as "good" in terms of quality, but the humans will correctly obey the prompt and omit one of the two wheels. I suspect DALL-E would struggle with that prompt.)
The top-level comment you replied to doesn’t mention malware.

In any case, both hardware and software keyloggers exist which would be thwarted by an onscreen keyboard. If I recall correctly, mouse keyboards became popular when keyloggers started being more known, and the following generation of malware took screenshots every time you clicked.

It’s a very obsolete security measure but did make sense briefly.
That's the intent here, but based on the comments, it feels like I need to add a disclaimer of "try at your own risk"
You are really confused about this. In general a randomly generated sequence on average will have equal 1s and 0s. Try generating 100K sequences and then count the sequences with:

1) equal 1s and 0s

2) all 1s

3) all 0s

See which one is more likely.

I don't think Hacker News is meant to be a place where people find catharsis by calling other people idiots. Then again it's not my site; perhaps dang will indeed allow it.
Any recommendations? The average I'm finding is more around £1300/year. Crunch is around £700 a year but I'd rather use Freeagent over their own software so I can switch accountant later if needed.

That hit close to home.
She's making a philosophical argument, not a scientific one. Is arxiv really the right arena for that? What formulas would even be relavent?

At least from what i read - she's basically saying that there is such a derth of new data and plausible ways to get it in the near/medium term, that theoretical particle physicists have basically been creating abstract theories which while may or may not be true, are increasingly detached from the emperical world. To the point where they are no longer predictive theories and there are so many free parameters that you can post-hoc fit it to any data you might collect. Hence the real world applicability is akin to speculating how many angels could fit on a pin head.

Now this may or may not be true. I don't have the background to know. But this is not a science argument, it is a philosophical argument. Fundamentally its asking are theoretical particle physicists engaging in science or are they engaging in some combination of math and metaphysics. Is arxiv really the place to have such philosophical debates?
> Wouldn’t really call it a “basic principle”: as with anything else, it really depends on what you assume your audience knows (and you will need to make assumptions about that).

Directed acyclic graphs are a basic computer science topic. There is no way around it. DAGs are introduced in intro to algorithms and data structures courses, right on the first semester of any first year course.

Arrays, linked lists, trees, graphs. Far from obscure topics. Well, DAGs lie right between trees and graphs, and are typically the very first type of graph presented to freshmen.

Also, DAGs pop up all the time in practical applications.
Suppose that one thing you like to do in your leisure time is swim in lakes, which can only be done in summer. Now suppose that your work schedule changes, so that you have additional vacation time in winter, in addition to the leisure time you had before. Do you say, "Great! Now I have more time for leisure activities!", or do you say, "That sucks! The proportion of my leisure time that I can spend swimming has gone down!".
You're right, it's not really beginner friendly. I want to improve upon that in the coming months. But for now, there are tons of cubing-related resources online nowadays. For 99% of cubers, you want to focus on OLL and PLL algorithms.
That's a good argument if you're a short-sighted business looking for short term profits.

As a dev however, that sounds foolish to me.

Also, chains like Algorand or Cosmos don't have "nobody else on the network".
We know inflation is high. The conspiracy theorists are the ones who say it’s higher (20,30% etc) because their commodity of choice is up that much.

Last year that commodity was lumber. A couple of months ago it was oil.

It’s quite possible, likely even, that your personal inflation doesn’t match the official inflation, because you don’t have the same basket of goods. By all means if you want to present an alternate inflation with different weighting that’s fine, preferably show what the same weighting’s were over the last 20 years though and be transparent about the weightings like official ones

Or do a YouTube video showing different amounts of lumber and yell about how the lame stream media is lying to you.
> we only learned that older people pick all-H or all-T more.

I think we learn that older people are less willing to put up with silly instructions.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't we normally scale these things instead on a GPU?
Yes and it's even worse than you think... The characters are not even raw characters, they are “boxed” into data structures and then the linked-list code guards them with a “thunk,” so “If I have computed this char return the cached char, else compute it and save it to the cache and then return it.”

The performance is good enough for teaching and learning and mocking out examples... But the reason for the user libraries is that real string processing workloads need something way better as their default.
Slave driver mentality is one reason I don't work with certain segments of the tech population.
