Question for PL implementation folks:

How practical is it to implement a keyword/type that (portably) represents the L1/L2/LN cache size? Suppose I am implementing an algorithm or data structure and I really don't care what the $BLOCK_SIZE is, as long as it fits reasonably nicely in one of the lower caches as a sane default. It would be nice if I could do this with a magic keyword rather than hardcoding a default (1KiB) and forcing the end user to tune runtime params according to their hardware. Bonus if this can be used for static/stack allocations too.
There are a lot of grad students out there that would love to talk to you and need the help badly.

If you really would like to write space-bound code, I would suggest reaching out to the grad students directly. Nearly all space science programs have dozens of students currently working on instruments or platforms that will be going into space in the next few years.

To get you started, here's the faculty page for ASU: https://sese.asu.edu/people/faculty You can chose any other university any where on the planet too.

Look through some of the labs there. Find a project you may like to work with. Contact the grad students on the PI's homepage directly. You do not need to talk to the professor beforehand. I'll repeat, there is no level of politeness that says you need to talk to the professor beforehand; talking to the grad students directly is perfectly acceptable. See if the grad student needs a hand and what with.

I will warn you, they are scientists that begrudgingly code, they are not coders. Their code is downright cringe in it's simplicity. That's because they are scientists first. Do not try to introduce complex concepts like git to them.

I would really really encourage you to reach out and lend a hand, they need it.
At first this is what I thought was solved - still cool regardless though!
A preponderance of power chords is usually a good indicator that it's metal, especially non-extreme metal like power.
Upvoting because this post shouldn't have a negative score simply for being confused. Treating it as a reasonable question.
Q. is it scientific consensus that modern birds "are dinosaurs" ?
two times already. a lot of infrastructure is hidden for developers by default. My motivation is in situations I have been confused sometimes when I speaking to dev ops.
> It also rekindled in me a deep love of music, to the point that now, I work as a collaborative pianist and coach chamber music groups in a local music academy.

One of the things I see over and over in this thread is people finding meaningful work.

I am both encouraged and demoralized by this. It seems like such a whim of fate, a thing outside of ones control that you can have a choice in doing something you enjoy and also be compensated for it.

It feels like a cruel lie. I wish I could read something like your story and experience something other than jealousy and jaded critiques of how it's not realistic and this isn't right and any other hater bullshit my brain comes up with to deny me the idea any good can ever occur
Essay – Write Better
Same. I left thinking that the concept was cool, but the problem they had was discoverability. Bad actors were taking advantage of the system and pushing down good content. It was cool for the first 3 weeks when the content was amazing, and I felt like I was able to passively listen to fantastic content while working. Afterwards, it just became too much of a hassle to swift through everything in order to find the content I found interesting, so I left.
Of course, there's the catch-22 that they probably don't have nix-shell.

Just try to search "Russia Today" in Google, Bing, DDG, whatever, from inside the EU, and you'll see. Do you know what you'll get within the first results? Fox news, for example.
Very sober advice and I appreciate it. That's why I haven't done these things.
The title of this post would be just as pertinent if MLM had refereed to "Masked Language Models" rather than multi-level marketing...
Kim Dotcom... the famous Setch Rich conspiracy theorist, hasn't been right about much.
FedEx ground is about as different as can be with the same "model" ("model" meaning "contracted firm does deliveries"). With FedEx P&D, routes are negotiated on a route by route basis, and are owned. As long as you own the route and meet the minimum requirements, you keep that route. You can sell it to another vendor, or buy more routes.

The contractor manages the delivery schedule and logistics. The contractor purchases their own vehicles rather than leasing them from FedEx. They're paid per route and per package rather than based on a ratings model.

Furthermore, FedEx pay for brand placement on vehicles and for branded uniforms.

This is a much more equitable system: both FedEx and the contractor have skin in the game. The contractor company aren't vassals to the corporation: they own their trucks and can sell their routes and contract to another business if they'd like.
I think there won't be any radical changes during betas, they probably end up in the next release.
This comment got downvoted but I still think its an interesting and substantive idea to solve and worthy of discussion. Nuclear waste is very difficult to produce but is manufactured as a byproduct of a very valuable process, and is produced in such limited quantities that it creates a very interesting "Spent Nuclear Fuel Standard" in lieu of gold or USD. The source of a given piece of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) can presumably be verified for authenticity, and while its not a necessity, a blockchain can assist with market making and transactions so that the actual SNF itself can remain in secured locations.

If the whole effort is backstopped by the potential to find a process 30 years out that can squeeze more energy out of old SNF or further refine it, then there's an interesting potential value store as well.
My solution was this was a bookmark folder on Chrome.
they weren't fired. They survived an attempt at being fired. Instead, they resigned because in their opinion, the university made continued employment impossible. University leaders are a in a tough position today of having to balance open-minded, thoughtful professors who make unapproved external statments to the press, with a raging mob that wants to cancel people that don't say things they like. I imagine the dean/VP of the school probably internally supports Shapiro but has to make it look like they don't.
Other stats also allow you to break physics over your knee:

Titanic strength will, yes, allow you to kill any enemy in a single attack. It will also, however, deplete your weapon's entire durability bar to do so.

Incredible, mind bending speed will allow you to break the speed force (most problematically on stairs or inclines), moving so fast that you blast through the world geometry and into the void beyond. (Playing on console with an analog controller that gave you more control over your movement speed was a godsend, here)
I'm sure when the CIA / FBI reads this, they have a smile on their faces.
Plenty of people i.e US citizens / residents have been killed not just on foreign soil but on US soil as well. Extra-judicial killings happen to this day. Foreign one's well that's just collateral damage ;)
if you're a non threat of course, they might put the child-porn charge just to extend your suffering.
Ultimately all less intelligent animals on this planet will perish due to heat death of the sun unless we bring them with us to other planets.
Well, yes. But "Lockheed test pilot assigned to fly SR-71's" kinda guarantees that he's got "great presence of mind", "never panics", etc. down cold.

This is sort of a braindump - so pardon me... But here goes

There are a number of reasons. I like small gov't. I'm actually not entirely against gov't programs - but having grown up 20 miles outside the hood, wellfare just seems to breed more wellfare.

Also, my parents worked their butts off to get where they are. One of my parents is an immigrant, the other grew up lower middle class. One went to MIT and did quite well.

Growing up and hearing these stories and growing up in strict discipline really instilled the value of hard work and making lemons from lemonade.

Liberal values just seem to want to coddle everybody's issues.

All this talk about hate speech and don't offend somebody else sickens me. If somebody says something racist to me in public, I don't get mad. I'll actually sit down and have a conversation with them to understand why they feel that way.
Because it's a central node in a potential disinformation network that wields immense power over American elections.

Should it? No. Is it pathetic that it is? Yes.

But is vs. ought. It IS a powerful platform but ought not be.
I didn't mean for that phrase to be flippant. I literally just meant whatever reasons there are. There's plenty of good ones. Some people are mute, some people have speech issues, etc.
In my experience, Django docs are on a totally different level:

That looks interesting.

What's the pricing?
No, that's incorrect. Coal is mostly carbon, but almost all of that carbon burns with the coal -- what's left over in the ash is whatever didn't burn, which is mostly minerals like silicon/aluminium oxides. Even the source coal has relatively low levels of C14 (since it's been buried for millions of years), and nothing about the combustion process would be likely to concentrate that in the ash.

Radioactivity in coal ash is primarily due to small quantities of uranium in the coal. It's not significantly radioactive, though; the hazards it poses are more due to other heavy metals which are often present in the ash (lead, mercury, etc).
But, do they need to prove that he leaked it? Surely the backdoor and exfiltrating the data alone would be enough to put him away from a long time, even if he never shared it with anyone.
Are people purposely ignoring the fact that Twitter are clearly lying about the % of non-human users? They say its less then 5% but in reality its between 5% and 25% based on multiple independent research studies.

If it really was < 5% why don't Twitter just release the data Musk is asking for?
It's one of the oldest widespread applications of neural networks for video, with NNEDI at least dating to 15 years ago.

That said, I don't think there's been much work incorporating new research from the current resurgence of deep learning.
I mean, there isn't anything known as "the prime number conjecture". Goldbach's conjecture is a prominent conjecture about primes, but it's not "the prime number conjecture".
The more hassle involved with breaking the lock the harder it is to be steal, that makes sense. Don't forget about security by obscurity, though. Let's say a criminal with a bolt cutter finds their way to an unattended gym locker room and they can only have time to snip one or two locks. The majority of the lockers have generic Master Locks, a few have some exotic "ultra-secure" locks on them. Do they randomly snip a locker with a generic Master Lock, or do they pick the bright-orange-ultra-secure-lock-probably-hiding-a-tablet-and-laptop locker?
Capitalism usually means a small owning class and a large working class, which is the hierarchy. It doesn't actually require a pyramid scheme system of recruitment, you could just have an enforcer class that beats the workers into hopeless submission and consumption. The way it works now though is that workers at every level are led to believe they can rise up the pyramid. This is a good complement to the raw violence which is still there: this belief reduces enforcement costs, encourages consumption, and allows for some necessary meritocratic elevation to the educated technical/bureaucratic class.
but what advantage does that have against podcasts when you can't participate unless you know the host? I could just listen to a conversation that's been recorded and get the same benefit, without having to schedule a live conversation I can't take part in.

I don't see the draw over a podcast style show. Most live audience questions suck.
Circular buffers (your fancy implementation) are far superior for queues. Pretty much any modern vector like data structure is already going to have grow logic so adding head and tail pointers isn't too hard. However, as this article mentions, keeping memory compact is pretty important to speed, and circular buffers are able to do that while linked lists aren't.
JIT has been mentioned in the faster-cpython work though. But you're right to be skeptical, they are putting it off too ("it's not 3.11 and maybe not for 3.12"), and it's not something that can be added easily between two releases.
If this was the case, then here on earth would we see more and more DNA appearing that doesn't follow an expected evolution tree? but then also our current DNA creatures would/could absorb/eat them before they are allowed to adapt to pressure in the surrounding environment?
Agreed. I don't know how one could classify any of those as "Multi Level" either.

Mostly monitors. I do need glasses for day to day life, but I don’t feel like it’s dim out there or anything.
Same. Especially the "side project" part
The problem is that Elon, for so long, has avoided the consequences of his actions that the thought of being held accountable to perform or pay the termination fee feels like oppression to him.

Had he acted with integrity and honesty, he wouldn’t be in this situation of his own making, but those traits aren’t what made him wealthy.
The part that seems dangerous to Twitter is not the go/no-go part of Elon Musk's offer , but the possible shareholder and advertising related lawsuits that may arise.

Representing bot activity as less than 5% but using a sample size of 100, when you are claiming millions of active accounts, can't easily be seen as honest. Since statistics which Twitter is expected to know as a matter of their duty to shareholders , makes it plain that the sample size is too small.

Too many bots = shareholders were misled as to true number of active accounts.

Too many bots = advertisers were misled as to potential reach.
My experience was in Germany. They checked my passport, face, name, address via PostIdent video.

Same procedure as with N26 and ING online banks, though the latter didn't work due to connection problems so I had to do it at the post office.

I like prepaid because I avoid contracts whenever I can. And I liked that I can get one fast.

I understand the reasoning - they can tie an identity to any SIM card and find you pretty fast if your number/IMEI pops up in some suspicious communications, but still, privacy blah blah.

This is the country that recently was against the EU wide chat surveillance directive that surfaces every few years now.
Hey, some of us haven't watched it yet!
THIS ONE is definitely the worst HN title gore I’ve seen so far. Jesus, I nearly choked on my bagel.
You may be thinking that this tech will automatically trickle down. There is infinite incentive to withhold it, whether by controlling access to it outright in a dictatorship or by letting it naturally be exorbitantly expensive in a market economy.

Note that in thought experiments I mentioned it is considered to exacerbate inequalities even if it is distributed equally to all. A thought experiment that reflects reality a bit better would be one where the rich not only get more rich thanks to money dynamics (plus a vicious circle of theft and violence in case of dictators, who are the bigger concern) but also never die.
Join the Fediverse. Most people there have no interest in mainstream culture and none of the software is built in a way to gamify engagement.

I keep thinking of putting together a bridge between twitter and my mastodon server, but I am always postponing it because it feels wrong.
Indeed, I jumped into PostgreSQL documentation, that's where I started reading about materialized views.
I equate this to those that say that downloading warez is not hurtful as it's just some electrons shifting around, so nothing was actually stolen.

Having spyware sucks, and I do the best of my ability to not let it get installed. However, random internet thiefs vs nation state operatives are not the same and I do not humor myself to think I am adequetely equipped to prevent it. If the CIA plants stuff on my, a US citizen's computer, then that is absolutely something to be pissed off about and they need to be punished for this behavior. However, I know in my personal life there is nothing they will find of value and it is ultimately an absolute waste of their time and resources. If some random internet thief also can make use of the US Gov't agency's spyware in a way that is harmful to me (stealing money, etc), then it's even worse as they TLA probably think "secret" backdoors are safe.
Not really. I don't have any specific reason to move, no argument has been made to me of something that will work better in BSD. But I'm more than willing to hear what people have to say.

In general I follow the money. Even in Open Source, the things that work best are generally the things that have more people dumping money on it. Linux has soooo much more money poured to it they're not even in the same galaxy as BSD. I don't wanna have to go back to the early 2000's time of having to fight against broken graphics drivers or jumping 1000 hoops to have wireless or a touchpad working.
It's not audio, but the Fediverse gives me that as an alternative to influencer centric networks (in particular twitter).

As an alternative to instagram, there is Pixelfed, which integrates with all the other servers such as Mastodon or Pleroma.
Go to the statement (10-Q I think) and you'll see caveats and conditional statements that are rather clear the estimate was not in anyway definitive or even methodologically sound. They said that. My man Elon is so focused on numbers that he doesn't read the fine print. Certainty intervals matter, even if they're described with words rather than numbers.
> However both is best. I don't think people really read tests to understand code, normally because tests are so contrived and shit they they are a burden to be ignored.

I have read tests for this kind of reason, but usually in codebases without static types. I consider static types mostly a form of machine-verifiable and tool-friendly documentation.
Goldbach's Conjecture is not the Prime Number Conjecture , because there is no such thing. There are several prime number conjectures.
Doesn't it make financial sense for him to pay the 1bn breakup fee in order to avoid overpaying by 15bn w.r.t. the current stock price?
I have, on occasion, made plain text files with simple diagrams in them using unicode box drawing characters. These copy the advantage of markdown of being readable in a plain text editor. They can also be written in a plain text editor, if a simple macro is written to enable drawing boxes and lines. A program could be written to convert such a diagram to html, to enable more elegant display.

The original markdown spec of course included the ability to interleave html, but I always interpreted this as a compromise, a recognition that occasionally, features beyond what is otherwise supported might be necessary. The idea of writing markdown in a WYSIWYG editor, which outputs to a human unreadable format - not just human unreadable like html, but in fact nonsense to any human that reads it - encoded in a generic object format, as an extension to markdown - and to call the result plain text - is quite ridiculous to me. At some point we have jumped the shark, with respect to the purpose of markdown. There is now little distinction from existing document formats, like, say, rtf, which is "plain text" in the same sense as this is.

* * *

I had thought about calling my extended markdown, with box drawings and the like, sharkdown, for which I at one point even drew a cute logo. I got no farther than this.
this will be the winner purely because Apple devices are the lowest common denominator. That is, one must support iOS and if iOS only supports LL-HLS but other devices optionally support LL-HLS then LL-HLS is the winner.
LinkedIn kind of creeps me out because it is the only social network I actively participate in as my authentic self. (Because I make games, I have to go on all kinds of things in test accounts) When people I know make an announcement and I see it I feel like I don't want to be supportive. And it is useful to know where people are working that you haven't seen for a while. But to post an article? I don't know.
It's criminally underused, and it's a weird blind spot for software developers to have. My input on this is that our primary working tool, a programming language, is so powerful and wide that (within the limits of computability) it can literally do anything; therefore we are less likely to question the paradigm or look for a different one, even when it would be more suited to the problem at hand.
Remember "Hacking Team"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacking_Team

It's not mentioned in the WP article but automated planting of the aforementioned material on a target computer was one of the capabilities they sold.
Am I to infer they have ceased capitalising proper nouns?
California ALSO has a GDPR style law that twitter would be beholden to
it's called a dinner party. you essentially can't have this "at scale" without creating the incentives leading to the contentification of it.
How so? The "process" of getting PhD is writing up his proof and getting it reviewed by the university, and verifying via oral defense that he knows the proof and didn't just plagiarize it.
Similarly, McDonald's is now, in fact, largely a real estate company: All of the franchises have to pay them rent, and it's the largest portion of their revenue.
“ And I put all of this in a pen... to have a real pen-test tool.” perfect :)
I feel like this may be a unpopular opinion, but I would be interested in hearing what other people think.

I am not a fan of web frameworks that require defining the path of a handler where the handler is defined. I feel like this is something that is nice if you have a very small project, but makes it difficult to understand the api surface as a project gets larger and things start being abstracted. Even though you have to parse out your own url params, I would likely choose HTTP.jl over another abstraction.
clubhouse doesn't scale because the more people are talking, the less you can tell which conversation is important or matters. The success of clubhouse is its own destruction.
Ruble "bounced back", because it's no longer exchangeable, its exchange rate is fictional now. Russians can't withdraw more than $10k per year, and 80% of any USD income must be deposited within a week or so.
Yes! That would point to J.C.R. Licklider [1] and Robert Taylor [2] as two of
the most influential scientists in computing.

Their role was providing vision and getting people and labs funded. Licklider worked at MIT, BBN, and ARPA most prominently in the 1950s and 60s. Taylor worked at ARPA and Xerox PARC in the 1960s and 70s. Both promoted and funded key projects that got interactive computing, personal computing, computer graphics, and computer networking going.

Both were trained in psychology, not computing -- there was no such field as 'computer science' when they were getting started. In fact Licklider played a big part in creating 'computer science' as a field and an academic specialty in the US, by getting ARPA funding for departments at MIT, CMU, and elsewhere that did influential work and trained scientists who became faculty elsewhere.
