There was some ancient religion where their god or satan figure was responsible for time - literally the god/satan beings way of destroying the universe.

Wish we could figure out some better ways to experiment with time. Seems like it's very telling of what's really going on that it's so different.
The problem with this sort of argument against caring about SOTA scores is that there is only so much luck to go around. While any individual 5% reduction in error rates could theoretically be highly influenced by luck, if you have a chain of small reductions in error rates, such that the difference between the first and the last is more like a factor of 2, then you know that somewhere in the middle of that, even if any individual improvement is suspect, there must have been real, gradual improvement.

It isn't that important on CIFAR-10 any more, which is pretty much a solved benchmark, but CIFAR was only solved because of such incremental progress, and papers focusing on moving the state of the art use newer, much harder benchmarks.
Last time I checked it wasn't available outside the US and Canada at all, and didn't have a terminal, but I just checked and both of those seem to have changed.

I'm also not a fan of having to upload files to Google Drive and then write special code to import them. It means my code isn't portable to run locally or anywhere else and it's just extra effort. I just want normal file access and to write scripts like I normally would.

Still, I was spurred to ask the question because some people are categorically opposed to anything Google due to privacy issues.
We already have known examples of pairs of neutron stars in close orbits, being held together in orbit by neutron-neutron gravitational attraction. There are stars and brown dwarfs which are composed almost entirely of hydrogen-1, with almost no deuterium or heavier elements. We have seen pairs of these stars in orbits being held together by proton-proton gravitational attraction. Sorry to disappoint you.

Weird English quirk when you have relativistic distances: They are older in a sense that they aren't recent. They aren't older in a sense that they've existed for a longer time. (At least in the radiation we're seeing.)
Yes it can very much be both! Or even more reasons, as you say.

The original comment I was replying to said their reason was "I just wanted to learn a new language", which is what I disagreed with.
Can food improve your exam performance?
I started a new role 2 weeks ago. My general strategy:

* Read all the things. For me as a technical writer that means reading most if not all the docs on our documentation website. Also means org strategy docs. Also means doing a lot of tinkering (try out the code samples etc).

* Record first impressions / friction log as I go. Beginner's mind has real value!

* Meet & greet everyone on my immediate team (~20 people) for 30 mins. More focused on work stuff.

* Also meet & greet people in the wider org (~10 people) for 15 mins. This meeting is less focused on work stuff. I'm approaching it with the mindset that it's plain nice to meet new people. But I'm sure the "rapport building" will also make work easier eventually.

* Talk w/ manager and skip manager about medium/long-term projects and eventually get written confirmation via email. My manager has a very helpful framework where you think of 3 levels of projects. First level is immediate value (what the post calls "easy wins"). Second level is medium-term with substantial complexity (these will take lots of meetings and research to find the right problem/solution to work on). Third level are stretch projects that will eventually get you promoted (if that's what you want).

* All the mandatory corp onboarding stuff. Benefits, mandatory training, etc. Just block out focus time and get it done.

* We don't have an onboarding guide for our immediate team so I'm creating one as I go. Will be a nice way to connect with any new teammates after me.

The great psychologist Eric Berne distinguished between a victim, someone who has a misfortune befall them, and a Victim, someone who's life position is to feel like a victim.

Unfortunately if one is a victim too often, too many bad things happen, it's natural to become a Victim and live your life that way.
Asess where you are. Define goal(s) as per comments below. And start the heck climbing a hill. Good luck.
Ask HN: Anyone else having problems closing Alibaba Cloud account?
I like to evaluate different cloud providers. I was happy enough with Alibaba up until the time I decided to close my experiments and close my account.

There is a "Close account" option under account security settings but choosing this option shows a wait-spinner that just seems to hang forever.

Any suggestions?

BTW, for all cloud providers: it should be easy to use and discontinue services!

That's a little under 20% of the world's population. I agree most of them are likely to be somewhere in maybe the top 1/3, but it's not like only the top few percent have ever flown.
That's not remotely true. Political conservatism and social radicalism demonstrably don't correlate with personal experience in that way: children adopt the beliefs of their parents (and/or peers).

Hence "champagne socialists" and "temporarily embarrassed millionaires."
Or also, from George Bernard Shaw, "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

For those who don't know, the Pax is G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate. It's a fictional chemical compound created by the Union of Allied Planets to pacify populations. Tested on Miranda, it had the effect of pacifying 99% of the population, but 1% turned into psychotic rage machines. All of this is from the Serenity movie set in the Firefly universe. I loved watching the Firefly TV series, and the movie.
the biggest hangup is convincing scientists that GPUs aren't just another tech fad

CUDA is 15 years old. All top supercomputers use GPUs and have been for a while. Mature software tools like cupy exist to make GPU programming easier. I don’t think anyone thinks today “GPUs are a fad”. The problem is a lot of code is simply hard to parallelize, and would need to be rewritten from scratch, likely in another language. For large old codebases this is a massive effort.

Kind of unfortunate that a few of the demo pictures have a binomial coefficient and the resulting latex code uses a long/complicated array to express it rather than \binom. I'm not sure I'd want to use this for anything I'll want to edit by hand in the future.
Desktop GUIs by necessity always use a message loop under the hood. WndProc certainly worked and you could build GUIs with it (same for using CreateWindow, implementing resizing on foot in WM_SIZE and using resource files for dialogs - also subclassing for making those fancy progress bars). But it's also verbose and at the end of the day you have a giant function handling dozens of messages and passing messages back and forth with other wndprocs. If we want to stay on the message level, both the signal/slot paradigm and/or using coroutines are just better, especially the latter is a very natural fit for UIs.

A real one here, the tech is beyond expectations, the decoding of equations is super, even of scanned sources. It only faults at complex environments such as matrices or diagrams (interpreted as cloud-URL to bitmap). It also OCRs surrounding text. Couples nice with Typora Mathjax for an integrated wysiwyg-markdown+latex experience.
If we're talking about in a local community (household, workplace, neighborhood), my opinion is that complaining signals to people that you are expecting someone else to solve it. It's a bad signal in a local community, because in a local community, everyone must be committed to solving most of the problems that occur, unless you have some kind of known reason for being unable to help (disabled, grieving, etc). Nobody likes complainers.

Instead of complaining, state the problem, why you believe it is a problem, and what you're going to do about it unless people stop you with a better idea. This way, everyone knows what to expect your actions to be. They also have an opportunity to oppose your plan if they feel strongly enough to overcome inaction. And you're not complaining, because you've made it clear that you intend to solve it.

Complaining can be an answer in a local community when the community is severely dysfunctional. For example, in the workplace, an overbearing manager who requires all decisions to go through them and doesn't allow any autonomy. In that case, complaining, leaving, or try to manipulate the manager are the dysfunctional alternatives.
It's not efficient. At scale, you'd try to be orders of magnitude more efficient.

This is specifically for portability & low maintenace (not needing to keep swapping/handling filters).

If you're on a boat it should keep you alive, with some modest solar. But most everyday consumers have far larger water needs & trying to generate all that desalinated water via this process is not effective.
Two thoughts can reflect the same reality in different light.

general comment and not just about this post:

on hackernews we keep seeing relatively dead projects made in go in a few lines of code that promise to handle a really large amount of data in a short time, every time we end up with fake benchmarks or partial implementations of how it should really be, please before criticising the real projects (which unlike them are larger than tens of thousands of lines) check the claims carefully.
I like that distinction - some people are victimized, but others are oriented towards life as if they were forever a victim - the latter is what is dangerous
Did you delete your HBR link? It was interesting: https://hbr.org/2021/11/how-to-succeed-quickly-in-a-new-role

The first few sentences say something to the effect of "All problems are people problems; some masquerade as technical problems. Successful transitions embed themselves in the social fabric of their new position and figure out what those people problems are."
What OS, if I may ask?

I find browser choice heavily depends on the OS you're using.

For instance, I can't stand anything but Safari on macOS. There's nothing better than Firefox on Linux. But on Windows, Chrome is king.
The reason to "add" systemD is that most of the major distros use it anyway, and so to avoid it I'd have to specifically go out of my way to find one like devuan.
That sounds suspiciously like "The reality of falling income sucks, but my imagination of how it might be is awesome."

For those interested, Ivan Illich wrote a series of books criticizing the modern approach to healthcare, education, transportation, gender etc. from a perspective that might be called "degrowth" today. A great introductory essay on Illich (https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2022/05/the-corruption-of...) was published recently in American Affairs. In my experience, the power of a single personality passionately committed to an idea is usually a better introduction than an academic survey article. Illich was a radical and none of his ideas come with batteries included, but exploring his ideaspace was an invigorating experience for someone who had hitherto only pitched his tent in the libertarian technocapitalist suburbs of the mind.

The particulate sensor on my Xiaomi air purifier correlates really well with the numbers from my city's air quality network.

What doesn't work well for me is the auto mode, it barely does anything at less than 50µg/m^3, way too high even for the mediocre air in my area. So instead I use automation in their app to let it run at full speed for 30 or 60 minutes.
So I literally just learned about this, and it's because it is 3 buffers. I found this website to be a good high level overview: https://wiki.c2.com/?TripleBuffer

If that's not short enough the tl;dr is:
"with Triple Buffering, there will always be a buffer to write to while a transition is in progress between the other two." The other two buffer's being producer, and consumer buffers.
> If you ARE a victim, then it's delusional not to feel as such.

Spot on. Additionally, modern neurology has proven that people experiencing stress and anxiety for years risk loss of cognitive abilities and long-term emotional harm. This is not something that you can just shake away with some "positive affirmations" and walk in a park.

This kind of narrative blames people who are facing learned helplessness.

Even if you are not a victim - but you are unhappy for any other reason it's crucial to recognize and address it. Recognizing it is step one in order to overcome it.

Unfortunately some cultures tolerated decades of hustle culture / rugged individualism to the point of becoming unable to admit difficulties.

This is psychology 101 and it's really telling that HN downvotes you and me instead.
> For a narrow enough definition of rich

No matter where you lop the end of the Pareto distribution off the remaining curve still fits the same distribution. I though that was a defining characteristic of the principle.

> ... reliable distributions ... do not control individuals.

The people who've made it always talk to the people who haven't as if they can, by force of will, change their circumstances. That may be true if an individual has an untapped talent but in general luck will determine your outcome way more often than force of will. If it were possible for everyone to be rich there would be examples of that in society all across the world and all throughout history.

I applaud your optimism though.
Thanks for the details. Of course, I do not do such a stupid and noob thing :-|

I could not find that comment because it was flagged when I checked my post yesterday, and I could not open it. by the way, thanks HN, and thanks to "graderjs" for posting my startup link :)
You eventually have to pay that back though, right? So the benefit is fleeting.
Dumb paper. What the author calls degrowth, it is living in a more primitive and old fashion way.
Neighbor Albania and Italy have this problem as well. There are plenty of villages where people live like it is still the early 1900s.

The author forgot to mention that they have one thing in common: all this villages it is mostly older people that live there, with few young ones left, mostly doing agriculture related work.

Most young people have left these villages due to the lack of economic opportunities. So, this thing called ‘degrowth’ is just economic stagnation.

Also, you don’t have to travel in Europe to see this. We have the Amish folks here, and that’s what a successful ultimate degrowth is.
In Southern Europe it is mostly forced due to economic conditions.

There are a lot of left wing radicals that advocate for ‘degrowth’, but that ultimately is advocating for poverty, and bring the US back to the 70s.

The libertarian view of degrowth, is to leave like a ‘homestead farm’, while the left version is to live in some giant communist coop where people consume only what’s needed, but this time it is with the ‘old fashion” twist.

52 failed attempt at communism should have given them a clue that it doesn’t work.

Degrowth = poverty for the masses, while still few elites enjoy and live a lavish life.
Meanwhile as a loud "senior engineer" I have to spend all day trapped in meetings and arguing with people and get to spend very little time doing what I enjoy, spending more of my time fighting the "process".

Don't you think that if it weren't for you arguing with the rest of the organization, that quiet guy might not be nearly as productive as he is now? So from his perspective, I think your work does make a difference.

Ask HN: How would you implement a puzzle solver algorithm?
A friend of mine was thinking about writing an app that would tell you where each puzzle piece go from just the photo of the pieces (or multi pictures) assuming each piece has a number. The puzzling (pun intended) bit to me is how would you go about determine if two pieces fit together or not...
> A rational interpretation of the question "are you rational?" is if you are rational relative to other humans, not that you are a theoretically perfect rational being.

Experience with people who tout their own rationality has shown me that such people rarely recognize the limits of their rationality. More often than not, they think themselves some sort of rational demigod gracing the irrational masses with their very presence.
Yeah and IME Pulumi is much easier to use, both are way better than half baked HCL though
Oh certainly. Not that travel can't still have its unpleasant aspects, e.g. flight delays/cancellations, but pay for TSE Pre, airline clubs, business class seating (especially international lie-flat seating which puts what Pan Am had in first class to shame), etc. and I'm not sure air travel is consistently worse than it was in the 70s.
Ironically the reason why Google supports Firefox financially (mainly with web search deals) might be to make a competitor float (barely) alive so they don't need to get sued by antitrust/monopoly issues in the future.
I think we can agree that c and c++ are essentially table stakes at this point and that anything new needs to offer strong incentives.

I like rust (I actually liked it from the start years ago). However, I believe that there are tradeoffs and the companies you named use other languages in addition to rust because they also believe there are tradeoffs.

Rust won't be the last language. I don't want to get too comfortable with what I know and miss out on what I don't. I am excited by new languages that may also have something to offer. However, I can't master them all so a good discussion is valuable and can offer shortcuts through the noise. I think my assumption in my first reply to your original post was that you were interested in the same thing. However, if you are happy with rust then I don't want to spoil your enjoyment.

Pagination in API's are a PITA as you have to make many requests to get all the data. 99% of the time you want all data, not just the first page. For the 1% use case you could use http-range or page. Pagination is often implemented as an premature optimization.

So I really dislike Jupyter, and I've tried using this[0] before to ssh into Colab and do work in a terminal setup.

You have to be careful to back up your code frequently (what I did was push to Github) since your ssh session goes away when your "kernel" (or whatever your colab session is called) goes away. You wouldn't have this worry if you were just using the web interface, since the code is always saved.

I'd imagine that, if you want to use VSCode, it's remote editing features, which I keep on hearing a lot about, would come in handy to edit over ssh!
