I took a sleeper train several times in my life, but my experience was mostly bad. The compartment shakes too much, I was waken up by bright floodlights outside and long, loud loudspeaker messages like "Train Foo goes to Bar, composition of wagons is XYZ, regular departure at 3:00 am, current delay is 20 minutes, we apologize for the delay which was caused by C." in two languages at every stop in between.

These might be a Czech and Slovak specialty, though. Maybe western wagons do not shake as much, western curtains do really block the sharp industrial light and western stations do not pronounce such long messages at every opportunity. IDK.

>If you’re new to the homelab world or have no experience building PCs, I recommend that you don’t build your own NAS.

>Before building this system, I had zero experience with ZFS, so I was excited to try it out.

Sorry, but this is amusing to me. ZFS on TrueNAS is probably fine, but you're building your production NAS, to replace the Synology device you've become "so dependent on". Don't become dependent on ZFS without knowing the implications!

I was facing this choice recently, and I agreed with the other tech savy person in the household that we should just use good old LVM + Btrfs. Not only does it run like a charm, but it also allowed us to switch the LV from single (during the data move) to RAID 1 and eventually to RAID 5/6 with zero issues. It will also be much easier to recover from than ZFS.

On another note, it's a bad market to buy NAS drives, especially from Seagate. Seagate Exos drives are at this point in time often cheaper than IronWolf, even non Pro IronWolf. They're slightly more noisy and don't come with the free data recovery, but otherwise they're a straight upgrade over the IronWolf drives.

There is not enough tailgating (party) action. No drinking out of the back of a pickup truck. No kegs in sight. Not a single dually. No Bud or Miller beer cans punctured with a 12 inch hunting knife being chugged out of their side. No wine bags hanging off tree branches with trashed sorority girls slapping them. No McDonalds or KFC visible on any tables. No chips either. Nothing has bullet holes in it. Needs more squatted trucks, donks, homeless encampments, choppers, fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, meth, weed, cigars and gang activity. It's too unrealistic.
Do you have any source for such a claim? I've been a wikipedia editor for quite a long time, and have never heard of this and the article itself seems perfectly reasonable in form. It's also well sourced.
That sounds absolutely exhausting to me.

Perhaps, in a lab setting, doing straightforward, focused tasks like the ones they use in these productivity studies, I could sustain a productivity boost long enough for the researcher to get a two-tailed p<0.05.

Make me do it in real life, though, 40 hours a week, week after week after week, and I expect I would burn out very quickly. I like my work well enough, but I don't think I want to actually stick my whole head inside of it.
There's the Mill CPU, which sounds terrific on paper. Hard to gauge when it might turn into something commercially usable though.
Hard disagree, especially on the 90% part — essential complexity can’t be reduced. Chances are you just didn’t understand the problem domain, or you only needed a solution for a small subset of the problem which is much easier to solve.

But the 80-20 principle still holds true for many things — the rare edge cases may indeed bring a whole lot of complexity with themselves. They can easily be a difference between an O(n) algorithm and an NP one.

Minimalism is okay (in that we should strive to decrease the accidental complexity), but I found that some people overdo it to such a naive and frankly, dumb levels that it is actively harmful.
It seems to me that a false negative is worse than a false positive if the goal is to hire talent. Have never understood the mentality that it is better to mistakenly turn away a high skill individual than to mistakenly hire a low skill one, you're effectively guaranteeing the former to avoid the latter. Would you write a search algorithm that behaved this way?

Dynamic Programming for Coding Interviews
I'm studying math at Cambridge University right now, and a lot of resources for our courses are available for free online. I do think that learning on your own is just not the same as learning for a degree, but if you have the motivation then you may find it useful to follow along with parts of our course.

Dexter Chua was a Cambridge math student who started in 2014, TeXed all his notes and shared them on his website [0]. More people have followed in his footsteps, and you can find most of them by googling `Cambridge math notes site:srcf.net`. Many professors also put notes up on their websites, which can also be found by googling `Cambridge math notes`. I find that for many courses the notes are just as good as lectures, even notes written by students, and sometimes they're even better. They're certainly a lot faster.

You'll probably want to start with our first year courses, which are designed to take bright highschoolers and teach them how to think like mathematicians. If you're interested in the math of machine learning, you'll probably want to look at our courses on linear algebra, probability, optimization, and statistics.

I don’t know. For example, in music examination, the outcomes change drastically if you blind the examiner from seeing the student or knowing their name. Unless you see something different in the world of music, I’d say the examination is happening at the same level of “good faith”ness.

How would you blind oral examination so that the examiner is unable to distinguish the student’s gender/race/identity?

I can't tell if you're trying to be serious or are being sarcastic. Like, Apple started work on the Newton in the late 80s and released the first one in 1993 too. So what? Viable consumer product for these things involved innovations in tech like multitouch capacitance vs resistance displays, a critical tipping point of processor, battery, wireless and display tech, the right UX and stack behind it, etc. But Apple didn't get there in 6 months, they did it on the back of years and years of R&D ahead of time. Same with stuff like their own chips, the PA Semi acquisition was in 2008, and the first real fruit (actual custom Apple core) was the A6 in 2012. Bringing it all the way back to notebook form factors took until the M1 (where PA Semi actually was aiming at with the 7W PWRficient), 12 years later. I'm genuinely befuddled that the idea of "get started years early" is a radical proposition to some people on HN. You also don't get useful patents in a field (critical nowadays in tech) without being way out in front. Even if the vast majority of R&D ends up leading to dead ends it's still worth it when it's important enough and gets close enough.

Identifying the likely optimal display mechanism has been primarily a matter of physics and biology. Without implants, can't do better than photons directly onto retina which also easily deals with lens/focus issues. There's never been anything to indicate that's physically impossible either. So "just" a matter of lots of hard work, but Apple has the kind of profit and strategic outlook to justify that. They've done so repeatedly. And this is central to their core business and talents as well. That other lesser tech might be of use in niches that aren't of interest to Apple, or that earlier efforts can't hit the strict superset tipping point, misses the forest for the trees.

The pressure is intrinsic to the compound. It cannot be lowered.
Honestly, I don’t quite understand what problem you see. The obvious answer is that each you has been experiencing the branch they are in, and will continue to split into more yous that will each again experience the branch they are in.

It seems that you’re assuming that there is only a single linear you with a single subjective future, and can’t conceive of your subjective experience forking. But the point is that the perceived linearity of the self is only an illusion, stemming from the vantage point of any given you at any given point in time looking at his/her respective past at that point in time (which for each of them indeed looks linear).

Your future branches are all equally real futures of your current self. Your current self will end up in all of them, but of course each of those future yous will only remember their shared past (your current present) and not have any perception of the other branches.

The fact that we never subjectively experience the branching (because we are merely a content of the branch, just like the running program is merely a content of the forking VM and does not notice that it is being forked) may be why some people have difficulties with the idea of their subjective experience splitting into separate futures.

Again, take the program/VM analogy. What would you expect the program to experience? The answer is that the experience will differ depending on which clone you consider (assuming that the VMs diverge like the MW branches diverge), yet all of the clones used to be the same running program. All the clones are equally real continuations of the original running program, just like in MW the different yous are equally real continuations of their former single consciousness (but now are separate consciousnesses).

You are right that we can’t reason about which future we will end up in, because we will end up in all physically possible futures. That can indeed be a philosophical conundrum. Decisions we make are only effective in the branch they are made, and there will presumably always be (equally real and existing) branches where they are not made. That shouldn’t detract from making desirable decisions though, because once we make them, we are necessarily in the branch where we made them, and it’s only our unlucky former future selves who didn’t make them that are now in the less desirable branches.
What does a walkable small town mean? I can walk to a pub, maybe some other food place, and a small market? The town I live in, like many around New England, has a cute little town center where the library and town hall are but there's not a lot else there. I'm certainly not living there without a car even if I were in the center.

I've spent some time doing walking tours in England and it doesn't seem much different.
Chuck Marohn is an ideas-guy that pivoted his career from engineer to paid speaker. It’s a lot of TED-talks kind of stuff that resonates with certain donors, and it includes a lot of “guys, you’re doing it wrong!” statements and trashing trade organizations. Those trade organizations have pushed the licensure board to strip Marohn’s license for years, and I think he’s finally had enough of the legal trouble.
Conflict Thesis
Where is this elaborated, that QM can account for what you say. What are you precisely refering to?
TPUs make numerical errors more frequently than you'd expect- and it's not cosmic rays, it's QA errors (individual chips were manufactured that passed QA but very occasionally, for specific inputs and operations, produce garbage). When you run on a full pod, many workloads will eventually see corruptions, often in the form of a propagating NaN in critical data like the gradient or weights, that the training cannot recover from.

In fact in a recent big paper from Google they mentioned that training occasionally went wonky in completely nonreproducible ways, but I am pretty sure I know what happened.

IT has evolved far too quickly for education to pick up and education itself is resistant to change for both good and bad reasons, we cannot change the system every year and expect grades to be comparable.

I do believe that we could create specializations that are not too specific yet useful, the main goal is to get rid of subjects that the student likely never encounter, I mean, we can start teaching history in Computer Science because maybe you'll program the next Age of Empires, yet we agree that the likelihood of that is so small, we can round it down to 0, my issue is that we don't check this for all the current subjects so that we don't waste people's time teaching them stuff they will never use.

And before that, fascism Italian style, or national syndicalism as I see Wikipedia calls it. Hard to say we in the US aren't already there in many sectors where big companies work hand in glove with the Federal government such as much of the "surveillance state." Which the companies don't have much choice in acquiescing to unless their leaders want to end up in Federal prison like Qwest's Joseph Nacchio.

Going back to farming, the Federal government assumed near total control over a great of it in the New Deal, down to how much you could charge for selling a kosher chicken (A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States "the surname Schechter means "slaughter" in Yiddish, and specifically refers to a ritual slaughterer") and the two have been inextricably linked since then.

And until about now things have been a lot better, for before WWII at the same time food production was limited by diktat and there were newsreels of it being destroyed, the USDA also believed about a quarter of the nation was malnourished which was confirmed in the WWII draft. Which I've read was major factor in establishing the school lunch program.

Thanks for pointing this out. It's like we've forgotten how to function as humans in some respect.

Baby formula isn't some magical combination of ingredients. And I get it, authorities are wary to recommend recipes because of the risk of people fucking it up. But when people are out of options they'll likely make worse decisions, like watering down formula.
Yes, and because of that limitation dependent type theory is an inferior logic for theorem proving.
That study lacks data. The entire result disappears if you exclude the women. And womens results looks strange, every woman does perfectly in the private version and every woman does horribly in the observed version. It is possible the interviewer either was a hot man who distracted the women, or he was a sexist creep who distracted them in other ways, or it was just random which is possible since there were so few women.

But other than that the study didn't find any evidence that men have any issues with being observed while coding. So unless a better study comes around we can dismiss complaints about observed interviews being stressful unless it comes from a woman, it is in the study you linked after all. (I do believe there is a stress effect, but that study isn't showing it, need a bit more samples and probably several different observers to get better data)
