Just chiming in to say that you can dive directly into Strang's Youtube lecture series, without a book or anything else; like, an immediate next step you could take if you wanted to is just to pull up his first lecture right now and watch it. (I mostly watched him at 2.5x speed).
Well when you wrap your identity around someone else's idea, you get weird outputs at the edge cases
Intel and Qualcomm wifi chipsets have some secret sauce in them that make them better than Realtek, Ralink, etc. I haven't personally tested Broadcom, so I don't know where they fall. In low congestion environments it doesn't matter, but in high congestion environments they work better. Basically, Intel and Qualcomm chipsets are better able to receive frames successfully even when there's a collision.

Transmit power doesn't matter in that more isn't necessarily better. Same for antenna gain. They are variables you can change if you know you have a specific problem that would be solved by it. That's hardly ever the case, though.

Why not just hardwire CAT6? MoCA is nice if you already have the coax, but otherwise it seems silly to put in.
These comments are not visible with showdead:yes. They are detached from article.
I miss offices in reasonable locations. Instead they're all in the same 6-8 cities that all have increasingly bad homeless populations.

No, I don't want to live in the Bay, New York City, Boston, Austin, or Denver. Please create small satellite offices in reasonable cities instead of mega campuses in towns that all seem to have public libraries that are now defacto homeless shelters.

Tech imports most of the talent these days anyway, so I don't buy the "talent only wants to move to the Bay!" argument.
> Now imagine those PRs create a bug and causes an outage. Where do you look to determine the context into why this decision was made?

The PR? Whatever you'd write in the ticket you can just write there instead of splitting information between two places.
>Because we know that Covid kills people (more than a million in the US), and there is very little evidence that Covid vaccines have killed people

The US VAERS vaccine adverse reporting system reports over ten thousand deaths post covid-vaccine, over two orders of magnitude more than reported for previous vaccines (including the flu vaccines which half of Americans take annually). Now, this does not imply causation, only autopsies can determine that, but for some reason in the US autopsies have not been done. In Germany, renowned pathologist Dr. Peter Schirmacher (acting chairman of the German Society of Pathology, director of the Institute of Pathology at Heidelberg University Hospital, and president of the German Association for the Study of the Liver) did conduct such autopsies, and found that 30-40% of the deaths following soon after vaccination were indeed caused by the vaccine.

The charge isn't really for the FSD functionality. It's a charge to cut the line. There is a long waitlist if you don't pay for FSD.
Yes. Especially now that Taiwan is really a democratic country without it being tacitly controlled by the people and political parties left over from the early days (the KMT). And the destruction of the people of Hong Kong finishes the end of the reunification desire in Taiwan. Young people are naturally horrified about HK and reunification. It's only fools who think that the people in Taiwan want to be part of the "greater Chinese people's country" more than they want freedom.

It's not well-reasoned skepticism to question the safety of a vaccine for which every vaccine adverse event reporting database reports two orders of magnitude more adverse events than previous vaccines? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-10928-z would you call Nature an anti-vax journal?
Wow, your website is insane. Great work.
If I have to narrow down a specific definition of "smart feature" I would say voice input of any sort. So my take on OP's question is: can I buy a TV that has no built in microphones? Maybe OP meant something different but that is what I would want. Simplest though is to just not have a TV at all. If there is something important, it will be online.
> I don't think most sports have a 10x difference between the worst and best professional athletes.

Aggregate productivity metrics are...difficult. But if one assumes that salaries are roughly proportional to value produced, it's not uncommon to have >10:1 ratio in the top professional tier of a sport, much less the whole of a professional sport.

E.g., the NFL has about a 25:1 ratio https://www.comparably.com/salaries/salaries-for-nfl-footbal...

MLB has a 700k minimum salary, a 1.1M median salary, a 4.4M mean salary, and a top salaries of $43.3M (that's a more than a 6:1 mean to minimum, and almost a 10:1 maximum to mean ratio, and over 60:1 overall ratio.)

> Being 10 times faster or 10 times stronger is beyond human limits.

“Fast” and “strong” measured in ways in which this is true are contributors to value produced, but not the measure of value produced by a player. A wide receiver that is the same in all other ways but runs half as fast as the fastest in the league isn't contributing half as much value.
That Jonathan Blow talk is awful. Repeatedly Blow stands up what is barely even a sketch of a straw man argument for a position and then just declares he's proven himself right and moves on. I can hardly see why even Jonathan himself would believe any of this, let alone how it could convince others.

And at the end it's basically nostalgia, which is a really old trap, so old that the warnings are well posted for many centuries. If you're stepping into that trap, as Blow seemingly has, you have specifically ignored warnings telling you what's about to happen, and you should - I think - be judged accordingly.
> but at the end of the day it's no different than a true coffee lover working at starbucks.

starbucks would be horrible for a true coffee lover. starbucks serves more "coffee flavored drinks" than real coffee.

Now that same coffee lover working at a high end coffee place where they can perfect the art of the pourover and refine their pull on the espresso machine.. that might be heaven for them.
Tesla's statistics count it as autopilot if it was engaged within 5 seconds of the collision.

It seems reasonable for a regulator to decide what that time span is and require all automated driving assist systems to report in a consistent way. I'm curious what % of the time a crash in a typical car occurs within N seconds of cruise control or lane assist or traffic aware cruise control engaged.
Tesla succeeded in showing the world that an electic car can be something more than a glorified golf cart. That is frankly a huge achievement, compared to what came before. EVs are now the centerpiece of every manufacturer's plans for the coming decades, and that is because of Tesla. Whether they succeed as a brand is not really important anymore.

Fly.io will give you an always-on 256MB of RAM instance for $1.94/month - and they offer 2,340 hours per month in their free tier, which is enough to run three of those for the whole month without spending any money at all.
Sure, if you think platforms where elite influence and popular opinions are "free speech", be my guest.

Really though, you'd probably change more actual minds (rather than just finding others who agree with your opinions already) on a literal soapbox.

I do agree that these platforms should have (mostly) been regulated out of existence long before the term "cancelled" was popular.

If you do this, its smart to create an LLC which you front your work with. Employers may not be bullish on hiring from small shops, but it should avoid red flags.
Are you referring to the possibility of a minor release introducing a bug?

Yes, of course that's possible, nobody is pretending humans are infallible. When it happens, just issue a patch release to that minor release to fix the bug. Versioning is about communicating intent, it's not a guarantee that nobody can ever make a mistake.

But if you're constantly introducing bugs in minor releases, that's a sign of sloppy test infrastructure and it will motivate me to migrate away from such a library. But the occasional bug is normal, fix it quick and move on.
And for all these people saying that the mRNA vaccines could be anything to do with it is absolute nonsense. Yes, Pfizer had some questionable data released during their trial, but show me a vaccine that hasn't had side effects?
I think it will have to be forced on them by external regulators.
can confirm, a former coworker had just come from Tesla 5 years ago and he had serious ethical problems with his work over there. Tesla is killing people through negligence and greed, it's pretty disgusting, but par for the course
I agree, but they should need to tell you why they banned you, and offer a chance to appeal.
The UK spends far less per head on Health than other European countries. It is incredibly cost effective.

The first step would be spending as much as other countries do before judging if a different structure would be better.
For an essentially free service? Those sound like a pretty high bar.
> The M1 chips are made entirely by TSMC, they reinforce the status quo, they don’t change it

Yeah. But with the current geopolitical environment every country is thinking about this. But like I said, ONLY IF they have the motive. Which I also mentioned that the world won't have so as to completely take Taiwan out of the equation.

> RISC-V is still years from matching ARM performance or cost, and by the time it does, a lot of it will likely be getting manufactured by TSMC.

You are probably right. Also RISC-V is used as a support module with Nvidia cards already if I am not wrong. They just are not used as standalone processors. And with M1, I meant ARM in general. But RISC-V is very promising. Like I said, who knows about the future?!

> TSMC is really good at making chips, and really good at learning how to make new kinds of chips, so any change will have to come from other fabs getting equally good.

I don't think me or any country for that matter disapproves that. But with China as it's neighbor, it's just stupid for the world to think everything will be sunshines and butterflies. It's always a good idea to deter from putting everything in one basket.
I wonder if this is related...

When I upgraded to Monterey (well, a beta, actually), I was met with a horrible bug that made me want to trash my laptop: my AirPods would randomly "cut out" for a couple of seconds for seemingly no reason. Sometimes it would take 5 minutes, sometimes 2 h. It was infuriating.

I spent dozens of hours trying to figure it out. Disabling apps, enabling other apps, tracing logs, killing random applications, seeing if it was load-related, trying reboots. At one point I was half-convinced it only happened after coming back from hibernating (not suspending). I tried desperately to "fix" the bluetooth module, disable and re-enable handoff, delete internal settings, copy old bluetooth modules from older versions, working mostly tethered... Nothing seemed to fix it, until I found a message deep in the logs that led me to try to disable "AirPlay Receiver".

Voilá! It was instantly fixed. I documented my workaround here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/qjgqjx/i_think_i... and it seems it's spread a bit like wildfire through the internet. I should have put up a donation link :D

What that journey taught me was that AirPlay, Wifi, Bluetooth and the like are serious messy beasts on macOS. I work with BLE sometimes while developing and I'm aware of how messy it is, but it seems that macOS has so many features that it makes it far worse.

In any case, my workaround is still working and I occasionally still get people thanking me for finding it. I doubt they really know how much time I spent, and how insane I nearly went, just to find that (un)ticking a little box would solve all of my problems.
> He has made a few good games, but how has he done anything that would paint him as a competent language designer?

You can watch his Twitch streams and see what he does and how he uses the language.

He's developing at least two games using it (the development of one of them he also shows on stream) and so far it's been proven to be a very strong contender for a C-like language suitable for game development. Just the fact that his entire 3-D game builds in under a few seconds is definitely something to aspire to.
Banning people on a global, worldwide communication network that has a reach of billions of users is not "I don't see why they can't just do it without any reason" material.

> A Data Race is any time when there's concurrent modification of a memory value

I do want to nail down the terminology, so help me with this scenario: Two simultaneous relaxed atomic writes to the same variable from different threads. To my understanding, this is not a data race (since this is allowed, while data races are never allowed), but it is concurrent. Do I have that right?
Who is the person that says, "No Jack, this is a dumb idea and a total waste of resources." For all Amazon's flaws, at least they're solving real-world problems. I mean you can fly around in a $10B/year fairy tale land but there are still many unsolved problems that don't require a blockchain.

Ask HN: Advice on becoming a first-time manager overnight?
I’m possibly in a position where, due to my manager changing offices, I might get tapped to step into his role (I’ve been told this directly by my manager’s manager). This is on an SRE team where there is a lot of work to do. Some good books I’ve had recommended to me when I was about to take on a team lead role at a different firm include Managing Humans, An Elegant Puzzle, and The Manager’s Path. I’ve read these over a while ago, but I’m a bit worried that I’m going to be in a bit over my head if I do step into this managerial role. Any advice, words of wisdom, or resources on suddenly becoming a first-time manager would be most appreciated!
What is this comment even supposed to mean in this context?
And that's what happens when only products can trigger push notifications on most people's phones.
I suspect that if there ever is, we'll never know because everything they do that the public does get to hear about will be owned by the company or organization they work for. So it could be NASA, or IBM, etc., and not the specific person who figures out the new things.
I followed my passion; don't try this at home
Some people are just smarter than others - much smarter. These engineers have their brains wired differently, helping them be more suited to programming/design work. If we accept the existence of 10x chess players (state champions) and 1000x chess players (grandmasters), why not 10x engineers?

I personally worked with (and managed) amazing engineers that are AT LEAST 10x more productive than the worst AND average engineers.

Assuming that they are toxic or hard to work with is something people say to feel "the same when all is taken into account". That's not the case, a lot of these great engineers are great people too making them objectively a lot better than the average engineer.
I'm in the software world in the US. My friends from the UK, Canada, Germany say they strongly preferred their healthcare in their home country. There are scattered things better here (sometimes wait times are less) but mostly it's a stupid waste of time system with enormous effort figuring out and arguing of EOB statements endlessly where you can never know what something costs until the insurance companies and medical providers stop arguing over the details.
> If anything is an epidemic, it's posts like this one. Sure, each of them has a small chance of being useful to a single individual.

Then, perchance, we should be using the collective will to name and shame companies so that the source of these posts stops.

The fact that modern companies have taken Kafka's "The Trial" as a playbook instead of a warning is beyond infuriating.
The Value of Text
Probably because file truncation/expansion with mmap is tricky.
All of those devices are another useless layer to select an "app" that serves as a client for various streaming services. There is no utility to be had from visualizing multiple entire OS to run their respective nearly identical apps and a unique but useless settings and app switcher gui.

You can experience an actual decrease in complexity simply by getting a device that supports the streaming services desired and reducing the "smart" TV to the dumb duty of displaying the content that comes in via the device's input.

> Every reputable organization that rolled out a pilot project did nothing afterwards.

I see. So after you realised your absolute claim was refuted, you set out moving the goalposts to create another absolute claim, yet that is still wrong again.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is using a blockchain for their e-Naira CBDC and that has already launched many months ago. [0] So even when you tried moving the goalposts, your claim has still been refuted once again!

> There is no plan to actually use a blockchain for anything beyond speculation, money laundering, criminality, and scams.

So Moneygram is not a reputable organisation using a blockchain? [1] Perhaps Stripe isn't either [2] who's first partner with crypto payouts is Twitter. Maybe that is why they both waited for regulatory clarity before using these technologies?

This is the problem of having very absolutist statements and creating sweeping claims as you have done. It forces you to move the goal posts on your original claims, create fallacies and do whatever to dodge counter questions.

Yeah I'm happy with my little toys and I've hacked some cool things together quickly, but I've known people who could really do 10x the work just because it was that easy for them. They knew what the problem was immediately and how to fix it well. Working on their code was (and, lucky me, is) a dream.
It used to say on the autopilot page "full self driving hardware". They left of the distinction that "full self driving software" is not done yet.
I promise I’m not trying to be cute when I say this. I regularly talk with a family member with dementia. And this conversation gives much more of a sense of presence and consciousness than the conversations I have with that family member.

> Apple's only real mistake was not keeping ESC a fixed hard key.

They’ve added that back for a few years now, but I agree. I used to own one of the 2016 MBPs with a Touch Bar and the lack of a physical escape key drove me insane. Even though I sold that laptop, I had actual while-asleep nightmares about the horrifically bad keyboard for a while too.
Wow, I haven't kept up with FSD but I am impressed.
Interesting concept of the "open book" ill keep an eye out to see what others bring up that isnt a wiki.
This video about "learning styles" and the idea that there's no such thing as a "visual learner" is all over the thread:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhgwIhB58PA&feature=youtu.be

It's worth calling out that the video itself doesn't support some of the blunt arguments being made here. The point of the video is that it's likely that everyone does better with a multimodal approach. It thus remains reasonable to seek out books that do a good job with visual representations! No visual components, or, worse, bad diagrams are, according to the video, an impediment to everyone, not just people who have used a disfavored term in their Ask HN question. :)

I like 3Blue1Brown as much as everyone else, it's an achievement and kind of a joy to watch, but my experience was that, after many go-rounds over the years, the thing that made any of this actually stick was doing exercises. I tend to bang the less abstract ones out in Sage: https://www.sagemath.org (you have to do a little bit of extra work to make sure Sage isn't doing too much of the work for you.

I'm a fan of Strang's approach. But I'm bad at linear algebra, so, grain of salt.
