Isn't "Mastodon for 3D objects" just a personal website that hosts .stl files? Last time I did a project that included 3D printed parts, I just attached models to a blog post.

I understand that not having models in a centralized repository brings problems with discoverability. So maybe a better project would be a search engine for 3D objects hosted on the long-tail web?
So essentially this [0] isn't totally a scam then?

Ever since many Bitcoin clones and source derived projects with no other changes other a renaming, re-branding, block-size and tweaks and also now especially with Ethereum-based tokens that have proliferated, so did the scams.

Ask HN: Where's that waitlist for a free G Suite transition?

I'm certain there's some PR crap going on, but a shortage was building even before the recall (mid-feb).

From https://datasembly.com/news/out-of-stock-rate-in-april-2022-... (referenced from https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/05/baby-formula-shortag...), we can see out of stock rates were already climbing to the 20-30% range in Feburary. It really ignites in April, as the recall affects products with expiry date after April 1 2022.

It is a strange turnaround. Ten years ago, they were regarded as comically mismanaged.

But I think what happened was: top tier firms like XOM did well, the market started softening in the mid-2010s, the top tier were more exposed to that, Shell had already botched it so they couldn't really get any worse, they were therefore in a fairly good place to latch onto new trends because they weren't fire-fighting.

Tbf, their returns haven't been much different to XOM except over the last year. I don't really invest in natural resources but have been considering SHEL as a diversifier (I am down very bad on everything else) because they do seem to be switched on (and are being pushed by Third Point).
I tried every todo app and personal organization and management system I could think of over a few years. I eventually gave up and moved to a nice notebook and a decent pen (Leuchtturm and Muji ballpoint pens) and haven’t looked back. I write the date every morning and start a new “section”, copy over anything from the previous day that doesn’t have a “check” mark, and write any new things I think I might need to get done. This has made a huge impact on me getting things done, both at work and in my personal life. It’s a stupid simple method and the only one I’ve stuck with.
The only way they're going to succeed is if sfdc quadruples (or more) their headcount. We were struggling with product development and maintenance with the skeleton crew we had back in 2015 and probably had 3x as many people then.

She's cheating a bit, to make a valid point. The gravitational force exerted by an object is due, as you say, to the object's mass-energy. So, a solar mass black hole centered on the center of mass of the sun would have the same gravitational effect on earth as the sun does. But the force a test particle experiences due to the gravity of either object depends on the the square of distance of the test particle from the center of mass of the the object. The physical expanse of the object doesn't really matter, if you're outside of the object. But, with the sun, the closest you can get to the center of mass is roughly 700,000 km. Any closer than that and you're inside the sun. Once you're inside the mass radius of an object, the force you experience is due only to the proportion of the object's mass that is closer than you to the object's center of mass. So the gravitational force you experience (if you could survive being inside the sun) declines as you get closer to the center of mass, until it's zero at the center (the pressure you experience is a different matter - it steadily increases as you journey down the mass). The black hole's radius, though is only about 3km, and so you can approach to within that distance of its center of mass. At that distance from a solar mass, the gravitational force is enormous - sufficient to overcome the momentum of a photon, "drag" it back into the black hole. So, the gravitational force you can experience from an object does depend on it's size, even though the total force at astronomical and mere macro scale distances does not.

It's byzantine consensus. It's slightly wrong since you need 3f+1 for byzantine consensus (so 7/10 not 6/10) but the basic point is valid. There are some crypocurrencies based on a similar model, but they aren't as popular.

Ok, it is interesting that the top of 12h clocks in those countries is often a 12 instead of a zero [0]. Maybe the tension of a cardinal zero in an ordinal world (i.e. 1900 is the 20th century) lead the Swiss Railway to de-number the 12h clock [1].

A retail Bluefield-2 you can get for anywhere from $1.5k-to-$2k USD from a variety of online sellers; just look it up, there are a couple SKUs. You can pick up a second-hand off eBay for about $1k USD right now. It's pretty pricey no matter how you slice it. The real question with a second-hand version is if you get access to the software or not; AFAIK neither Nvidia nor Mellanox have been too stingy about this stuff in the past I think (outside of some EULAs), but who knows...

Also JFYI, all of the Bluefield SKUs are passively cooled, so they normally aren't a great fit for a homelab due to the airflow requirements...
> Many streets it's basically one way traffic because there is only enough room for one car at a time.

My street is like this. The problem is there are already too many cars. We have a constant flow of traffic 12 hours of the day and most of this is people using our street as a rat run or as a free alternative to parking all day in the town centre which is less than a mile a way. A couple of times I've seen people park outside our house using two spaces (intentionally so no one can park in front or behind) and then pulling out a bike.

We have a driveway but it's not uncommon for somone to park in front of it and block you in so not entirely reliable.

The chances of any suitable charging points for actual residents being developed in such situations are near to none.

You hint at this, but it's worth saying it explicitly--folks with lower IQ could out-produce folks with high IQ even without having more kids per-person, as long as they're reproducing at a younger age. If, say, lower IQ people were to have kids at an average age of 23, and higher people have kids at an average age of 33, the lower IQ folks would have twice as many kids over a ~100 year span and 4x as many over ~150 years!
If you make the punishment for passing hazardous product high enough you could make a dent. Send the C-suite to jail if they cut enough corners that infants die -- you'll probably see a lot of improvements very quickly. Money fines won't be enough and are a complete waste of time and human life.

It still won't be perfect, but we can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
While I'm not opposed to changes to laws surrounding class action lawsuits, it seems inadvisable for a society's plan A to require waiting for babies to get poisoned or starve to death before it can take action.

Of course you could argue that the threat of meaningful class action is a check against it happening in the first place, but profits from illegal activities are quarterly and the punishment will be a decade away. If anything is consistent in the US, its that we can't rely on enough executives to act morally or with long-term interests in mind when their compensation hinges on them not doing so.
I finished the formula years recently. I had never heard of this. I'm assuming I fed my kids some heavy metal. Do you have a source for this?
Calling WebAssembly from Javascript, sort of?

In the early Python 2 era there was an option to build an interpreter binary with statically linked C stubs, and it was noticeably faster and let you access Python data structures from C. I used it for robotics code for speed. It was inconvenient because you had to link in all the modules you needed.
According to my calculations, schwarzschild radius of electron is 1.4e-59 m, and electron radius is 2.82e-15 m, so electron is huge and electron density (if such thing exists) is not enough to form black hole.
I don't think either of these are good examples. There are plenty of project management tools that have existed alongside jira - Asana, Basecamp, pivotal all have healthy userbases. Even Trello, although they're atlassian now.

* > If investing in crypto is a scam, why isn't investing in these other currencies also a scam? *

I know very few people who recommend investing in currencies to begin with. You invest in either hard assets (intrinsic value that currencies get pegged against), productive assets (companies value that can increase as they become more productive) or government bonds (interest rate means you get more fiat currency back than you put in.) The advice for how much fiat currency to hold at any given time is to have an emergency fund and then put all other assets into something that can at the very least keep pace with inflation. The purpose of currency is to be a medium of exchange, not an appreciating asset.

I concede your point, but I feel like black swan event isn't a real thing if its some structural flaw that's obvious in hindsight,

> The idea that intelligence or hard work or danger justify executive pay defies common sense.

By definition, common sense is not going to apply when it comes to running a modern nation or multi-national corporation. There is nothing common about what it takes to do these things successfully.

> But maybe a better explanation is simply that CEOs are being bribed, not to deliberately, neglectfully, or ideologically, wreck everything.

A thought-provoking idea but not sure it really comports with reality? CEOs almost always report to a board who can and will fire them for poor performance.

If you were looking for a figure who is "being bribed, not to deliberately, neglectfully, or ideologically, wreck everything" then you'd be looking for the chairman of the board and large investors with highly concentrated positions.

Of course, with any of these folks, reputation travels far, so the idea of them being bribed not to wreck everything is prima facie laughable; the reason they don't "want to wreck everything" is because they are looking to max their "society ELO" score. Social credit already exists and applies to people at this echelon of society.
Your summary is about right, but these can also be used to present (virtualized) nvme devices to the host computer. Imagine presenting arbitrary hardware to a host, and being able to control all of that entirely out of band from the host.

Another decent comparison would be older SBCs. Going that route you could build a big storage jbod for presenting blockdevices or blob storage over a network. That’s much cheaper than building a big x86 box with big chassis, x86 cpu, ram etc. And now you have cheaper, fast, NAS for your dc full of virtual hosts.

I’ve had a great experience with F#. It’s now my preferred language in almost all cases, and it’s plenty fast enough for the vast majority of applications. I use Visual Studio and the UX is excellent. (A lot of F# developers use Paket instead of Nuget.)

Generally things are pretty bad yeah.

- housing issues are reaching levels we’ve never seen. Not just buying, but renting is becoming exceedingly difficult for some. The fed raising interest rates so far has done nothing to level home prices.

- supply chains are crumbling. It’s nearly impossible to find a new vehicle. Used vehicles are selling for more than new ones. It’s yet another bubble that will burst miraculously.

- gas prices are still through the roof. It’s not uncommon to see $6/gal on the west coast (in any of the three states).

- the baby formula shortage is actually much worse than people realize. It went from hard to find to literally no one has any over the course of 7 days.

- stocks and crypto are tanking. Yes, some stocks aren’t seeing it as bad as others, but it’s not insignificant.

- food prices are increasing, and it’s very noticeable walking around a grocery store. Meat is $1-3/lb higher than it was 6 months ago. Certain produce is either not available or marked up 1.5-2x what it should be.

Now, a lot of these are going to get much much worse. The government seems content with really doing nothing other than seeding billions to countries not named the United States.

I think it’s fair for financial analysts and investors to be in full on bear mode.

I’m so worried about this. We are having our second child in a few months. Our first was on special (ie expensive) formula due to an intolerance. There’s a good chance our second child will have the same intolerance. The only formula he could eat was the first pulled from the shelf. Breastfeeding isn’t an option for us. No idea how he’s going to eat if this is still going on (probably will be) and he has the intolerance (he probably will). Does he starve? I don’t know.
You know name calling is against the rules here.

* Bring back honors classes for those districts that removed them

* Stop no child left behind

* Teach more hardcore math at a younger age. Calculus should be introduced in 6-8 grades.

* Require more writing and reading in general.

In general bring the lower performing students up to par with the high performers, not the other way around.
This statement is like saying "who's really the strongest, the strongmen or the lady who won the marathon?"
They're expensive. I think the high-end BF2 cards I use at work (2x100Gbps Eth/IB) were about $2.2k, and 25Gb/s go for $1.1k. Nvidia's store says the msrp is more like $3.5k. Make sure you read the power/cooling requirements. I wouldn't use these in something that isn't rack mounted and can push a lot of air over them.
C FFI takes 123 seconds?! That's pretty insane, but if you mean 123.2 ms, it's still very bad.

Doesn't feel like that would be the case from using NumPy, PyTorch and the likes, but they also typically run 'fat' functions, where it's one function with a lot of data that returns something. Usually don't chain or loop much there.

Edit: the number was for 500 million calls. Yeah, don't think I've ever made that many calls. 123 seconds feels fairly short then, except for demanding workflows like game dev maybe.
