For those wondering about the "tail call" part that would be more interesting for Clojure than fibers:

As adding the ability to manipulate call stacks to the JVM will undoubtedly be required, it is also the goal of this project to add an even lighter-weight construct that will allow unwinding the stack to some point and then invoke a method with given arguments (basically, a generalization of efficient tail-calls). We will call that feature unwind-and-invoke, or UAI.

It is not the goal of this project to add an automatic tail-call optimization to the JVM.

I made a little test file & purchase - how do I actually get paid?

First impressions are that it seems very expensive for smaller purchases - my $2.00 turned into $0.56 (and then I'll have currency fees as GBP wasn't an option).
And it's back to prices it was at in 2020.

Do you think more people bought Tesla 5 years ago, or in the past 1.5 years? Because the latter folks are underwater.
that's how it works in the bussiness world. you first make an offer, and then it enters the due diligence phase when information is shared and these matters are investigated.
Good point but i think good engineers can be this way only in their field.
Hmm. It's like the difference between that and CCTV. I'm fine with other people seeing me, I don't want to have cameras watching me 24/7.

If I wanted to do Linux Kernel development, I'd apply at Red Hat. I've got a buddy who interviews newish kernel developers out of school for them - it doesn't sound like he's looking for anything super specific either - he's often dismayed at how new graduates he talks to aren't even up on source control or other things he considers fundamental. He's US based but the teams are international (though I don't know if they'd hire from any country; maybe just specific ones).

Anyway, that's where I'd apply.

Your inability to come up with a solid reason why free speech is good is very telling. You don't think it's good!

That's the point though. He is very far from perfect and has as much of a record for highly ambitious projects failing altogether as he does for them succeeding. On the positive side, his ratio of successes to failures probably beats out most people, and his failures probably haven't done too much societal harm (especially compared to the good done by his successes).

But it's still not a good idea to treat any of his announcements or ideas as anything near a sure thing. His bullshitting still has a fairly high chance of turning out as bullshit.

I must conclude that Tokay is too immature to use however. If it wasn't it would clearly display, within one click of the home page, the similarities and differences between awk and tokay, because that's what a developer would care about as opposed to anything else, and that feedback will be consistent so it must be very new.

Good luck, look forward to seeing it again some day.

Larger interactive media tech companies use these delineations too: an animation/game company may have "line producers" whose duties are in-house active productions, while a "producer" is a former "line producer" operating as a mentor, production supervisor for multiple ongoing productions and intermediary between productions vying for the same production resources. Then the "executive producer" is the external role, creating new production pitches, presenting them to publishers/distributors/financers/IP-owners as they work to land new jobs.

Aaron Hsu has a bunch of talks on YouTube that cover this. He argues that his compiler that translates APL to run on GPUs (or something like that), is much more coherent than the versions he wrote in scheme and other languages. It's easy for him to see at a macro level, what the code is doing. There's no need for boilerplate either. Pretty cool stuff.

Note that I'm not advocating that everyone should do APL for all uses. I adore Python and think it's awesome. I'm just saying these languages deserve more love than they get.
Yep that’s essentially how it works. However, it can be risky either way. For instance, what if the price of Luna had gone up massively? Well then you would have had to repurchase Luna for a lot more than you sold it for. Basically, it reduces down to the exact same scenario as shorting a stock.

No, what I'd meant in that comment is that estimates can be very off despite trying to get the most accurate numbers. Unfortunately I don't have any practical experience so take whatever I saw with a grain of salt.

I might have had an option to "pre-book" with a small but significant (say $49) deposit for those who'd say they'd pay for it right when you ask them. - it can help push them to commit. I'd imagine spending more on (targeted) ads could also help thought it would ofc cost more too.

Don't worry, the product is pretty lovable. I'd definitely buy it if I had a job (still studying).

I would argue that proof-of-work and proof-of-stake converge to the same thing, at the limit.

In the proof-of-work model, a few folks make a lot of money (either by being in the right forum in 2009, rugging a community or lord forbid by actually doing something productive for society). These folks then go and buy shares in a mining pool using the PoW coin. These shares are basically the same as staked coins. They can go back and un-stake them at any time by selling. As owners of the pool, their largesse grows as transactions are validating and block reward accrues conceptually to them.

This is conceptually identical to a proof-of-stake system where a few folks make a lot of money (either by being in the right forum in 2013, rugging a community, participating in a presale, or lord forbid, doing something useful for society). These folks then stake their tokens. As stakers, their largesse grows as transactions are validated and staking reward accrues to them.
I would guess there must be forensic tools to detect this stuff, that the Norwegian police don't just have the best experts in Windows and printers in the world who then went through all the various systems, but that there should be a database of these variations somewhere and tools you can use to analyze a printed output to figure out where and what it was produced by, so what are these tools is my question.

I don't think being rich is his end goal. His goal is to do great things, to advance humanity (in very specific ways), maybe having a great legacy. Being rich helps him achieve these goals, but so does building hype and being present in the media. Being rich and unknown isn't a great strategy to achieve his goals.

Assertiveness and being sure of yourself can almost be considered prerequisites to becoming that successful, sure I can buy that. Doing things like constantly posting juvenile and inflammatory stuff on Twitter (such as baselessly accusing people who you think have slighted you of being pedophiles), that I'm not as convinced points to traits that are as positive.

> As much as we'd like, we really can't reduce people to "good person" and "bad person".

I don't find that difficult at all. Yes, obviously literally every single person have good and bad characteristics and have done good and bad things. But as a human being I'm perfectly able to look at those things in aggregate and decide for myself if I think they tally up to someone being what I would personally consider a good or bad person.

I see some issues.

We can discard Hydro pretty much immediately. There's not a lot of it that's sitting unused, there's not much opportunity for growth.

If there was this much wasted energy, the problem would be solved already. If the price went negative really often, that'd be a perfect business model for building some storage. Storage on the whole should be simpler than a mining farm. Putting extra megawatts into a pump or electrolysis is a relatively simple proposition. The computer hardware needed to burn that power on demand is far more expensive and complex.

Mining can cross borders, but cryptocurrency usage much less so. Yes, you can mine all you want across the border, but as governments sour on crypto they're going to make it much harder to transact in it. And your crypto isn't good for much if you can't sell it and get $ or Euros in your bank account.

The countries most amenable to this kind of thing are not all that profitable. They've got weak economies, bad governments and bad infrastructure. They're also easily pressured by wealthier countries, so they can't do whatever they want.

Long term if this worked it'd lead to centralization. Once you find some optimum -- which is probably a company that produces solar panels around the equator, they win the game and are hard to out-compete.

And of course, in the end this is still all a pointless waste. It's still countless video cards, solar panels, ASICs, and other hardware being piled up higher and higher to just keep up a global competition going that doesn't really achieve any improvement. It doesn't add capacity, it doesn't improve speed, it doesn't solve any practical problems. It's just an arms race where you need an extra tank because the other side made another one.
Not every cunning idea has to be thought up in advance, and not every aspect of it needs to be devised by one person.

I'm guessing the real cause is an aged electrolytic capacitor. The electrolyte can dry out over time causing a change in capacitance. Power supplies are the most common failure in electronics and electrolytic capacitors are a common reason for power supply failure.

There are electrolytic capacitors near where he was heating, and the capacitance of electrolytics can have a strong temperature dependence. He probably managed to heat one of the electrolytic capacitors, which happened to change its capacitance in the correct direction to make the circuit work.

Chances are the monitor would work reliably if all the electrolytic capacitors were replaced.

Edit:

I'm guessing the problem is C208. Section 10 of the LDO data sheet, linked in the article, talks about how stability is dependent on the output capacitor (C208). C208 has probably dried out, reducing its capacitance and making the LDO unstable. Heating was enough to make the circuit stable (for a while).

Further edit:

Predating my comment, "Gordonjcp" also called out C208.
My concern is he losing his focus. I know I get distracted from the work I am supposed to be doing (sometimes my paid job but even more so at home). I really should be finishing some home renovation work but there is that mail box I need to finish, and the 3D printed lid for a mouse trap, and the synthesizer I am thinking of building, oh wait there is an nice branch from the plum tree we trimmed that I could turn into a flute on the lathe...

Lets get one thing straight. If you are on the spectrum, the reason you act like this is because you don't understand that you are doing something wrong. Its a spectrum, normally around social interaction, and not understanding, or being able to pick up on the slow of social information.

However for most high functioning people it is possible, with work, to mitigate those "negative" qualities.

It is not an excuse to be a dick. What Elon is doing is a choice. He is perfectly capable of interacting with people enough to have a series of relationships with people without making them feel like shit. I would therefore postulate that whilst he might be on the spectrum, he has worked hard to mitigate it.

What Elon is, is a rich school boy.
https://research.swtch.com/gorace describes a loss of memory safety through data races, but I note it says "In the current Go implementations" and was written in 2010.

Hi HN!

Songmine is a tool I made to help me and my friend be more productive when making music. It runs in your browser at https://songmine.io

It basically does two things:

1) Show you a dashboard of chords for a certain key and mode.
2) Let's you play these chords by connecting to any DAW or synthesizer via Midi.

I made this overview video which walks you through the main functions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K69342sjmfc

I found it helps us bring more variety into ours sessions, since it lets us easily try out new keys or modes which we are not yet comfortable with. Also, we play bass and guitar but not the piano, so having the chords play with one click or keystroke makes it very easy to get a basic synth layer done without resorting to the piano roll.

There is a simple algorithm which modifies the chords in a way to get smoother chord changes.

To the musicians among you (and those aspiring to make music) - I would be very happy to get some feedback!
