Operations in G3 have a bunch of extra work compared to operations on quaternions alone due to the presence of odd grades. However, if your values are quaternionic, these grades should always be zero, so you can safely elide the operations. The compiler just has to be smart enough to see this.

The basis of G3 is 1,x,y,z,xy,xz,yz,xyz. Quaternions only have 1,xy,xz,yz. Quaternion multiplications are closed; xyyz = xz, xyxz = -yz, xzyz = -xy. xyxy=-1. If your compiler is smart enough to figure out that x,y,z,xyz are always zero, you can save the extraneous operations.

This is nothing more than forced arbitration biting BigCo in the arse.

> “At the time of Geico’s intervention, liability and damages had been determined by an arbitrator and confirmed by the trial court,” Court of Appeals Judge Edward R. Ardini Jr. wrote in the opinion. “Geico had no right to re-litigate those issues.”

We don't get to a less litigious society by letting Geico continue to fight this.

> But I don’t love it as a strategy for dealing psychologically with rejection: it amounts to numbing ourselves, and I suspect that numbness can weaken the boost to ambition when we finally get a “yes.”

I've done this. I did indeed become numb and on the short to medium-term it also meant that I lost respect for the industry. I'm not sure what the long-term effects are. One of the things I now do is to apply every week to a company, I've been rejected so much that it became a habit. I'm numb, I go through the motions, let's keep on chugging. I'll never stop anymore. I can't, I need to stay sharp, as sharp as possible. I've been rejected so much that I need to create opportunities before I actually need them, because when I need them then they most likely won't be there. Keep that deal flow going.

I wish there was a better way, I'd love to open myself more emotionally, but I can't take it when you open yourself up every time and you just get: ignored, ghosted or rejected. And I mostly seem to get ignored or ghosted.
> How are the incentives any different between an investor owned corporation and a worker owned corporation? Surely the worker owned corporation will also try to maximise revenue for the owners too? Just the owners are now the workers instead of the investors.

The difference of incentives would probably be mainly internal to the organization, but the effects of that would not be insignificant. By far, most people are workers not capitalist owners after all [1].

[1] Having a 401k does not make you a capitalist owner, it's just a clever trick to get to you make some decisions like one.

Is this actually true? When I was a kid, the amount of TV time was something of a moral panic; I'd have a hard time believing there were many more hours in the day left to consume. What I would believe is that social media's use of intermittent rewards makes people obsess about it even when they aren't actively using it.

I don't think the main battery pack needs to be swappable, but there needs to be a common standard for a secondary battery pack (like boosting a car to start it today). There's lots of space in the frunk of an electric car for the owner to drop in a portable battery back when the extra range is needed. Alcan (the aluminimum manufacturer) demonstrated a non-rechargable (but recyclable) aluminium-air battery a few years back that could be swapped and provide 1000 km of range. The lack of a "jerry can" solution for electric cars today seems... shortsighted.

The really good thing about electric cars is that once the platform is in place it becomes almost trivial to use alternative sources of electricity to provide the power the car needs or charge the battery. Methanol fuel cell are finally on the market and while currently expensive, can be refueled with the same convenience as existing fossil fuel based ICEs. The future of electric cars is indeed a promising one.

The number of amino-acids found has been mentioned in many on-line media, but it is completely meaningless.

There exists a huge number of amino-acids, most of them are not made or used by the known living beings and of those made by living beings even fewer are used in proteins.

A very large number of random amino-acids have also been found in various meteorites, because they easily form from the most abundant chemical elements in the Universe, H, C, N and O, whenever there is not enough oxygen to oxidize everything else, but among them only about 10 of those used by living beings have been found, i.e. about one half of the amino-acids used in proteins.

What would have been interesting to know about the Japanese asteroid probe would have been if, among the many amino-acids found, there have been also the same about 10 amino-acids previously found, or only a part of them, and if there has been found any other amino-acid with biological importance besides those ten.

The press release mentions only glutamic acid and valine, 2 simple amino-acids which belong to those 10 about which it is well known that they can easily be synthesized in abiotic conditions.

But you were still too late for the infamous Barrington Hall[0].

Ask HN: What would you do differently if you were asked to relearn your field?
Suppose you are a practitioner in a particular field and you have been practising in this field for quite some time. In the process you have got to know what works what doesn't, quite a bit.

Maybe you realised that you were taught the skills in the exact correct way or maybe not.

If you were a beginner standing today and asked to relearn your field what would you do? Would you change something or follow the exact path?

Or if you want to imagine a situation where you are the mentor and have been assigned a curious bright teenager to be taught your field.

How would you proceed?

P.S.: Field is not a restriction. It can be anything from woodworking to biology to CS to any obscure skill we don't know about.

I'm curious what a "mirror test"[0] for an AI would even be. Given it has no body, is there some part of it you could mark, show to the AI, and test to see if it recognizes itself?

What's tricky is that AI seems to only respond to prompts by people -- I haven't heard of any AI that starts conversing on its own volition (something at least one other comment in this thread pointed out). So it seems you wouldn't even be able to administer such a test, as the asking of the question itself would give away the test; you wouldn't be able to tell if the AI noticed the "mark" had it not been for the questioner pointing it out even indirectly. Which itself seems to argue against sentience?

I don't know what the right answer for the media outlets is here; if they didn't report on things like this, the contingent that are constantly shouting that "the main-stream media is hiding the truth from you" would get louder and have another bit of real evidence to underpin their conspiracy theories.
I think the availability and type of "3rd places" largely depends on where you live. I live in Denver and a buddy of mine lives in Miami, both cities I would consider pretty high on the amount "3rd places"; however, they reach this stat in very very different ways.

Denver is a very outdoor oriented place, so most of our "3rd places" are literally carved into nature. Pick just about any outdoor sport here, and there will be a group that will happily take you in. Even if you aren't in a group there's a certain community all around liking to go outside. We also have a ton of other "3rd places" like Microbreweries, bars, etc.

Miami is a very different place, very very different. I visited my friend there and the culture I got at least was that people just liked to party. The clubs there would open at 10:30PM and close Noon the next day. Overall very fun place, part of the fun was seeing just how different people were. The folks I met there couldn't believe that I didn't find clubs all that fun and I couldn't believe that they didn't find hiking and camping fun. There was this mutual respect there that we were just very different people and sorted ourselves appropriately.

I totally understand the feeling if you live outside of these areas that have a ton of "3rd places" where options like this might not exist. I used to live in a place pretty devoid of "3rd places" that I liked, so I moved to a place where I liked the "3rd places" better.

Yes, but see, this is exactly what we ought to fight. No?

I don't want to be forced to host my open source projects at Microsoft. Or any place really. I don't think there should be any centralization for project hosting.

GitLab.com is not perfect neither, it requires users to run reCAPTCHA. This is forced Google spying for any GitLab users and therefore potential contributors.

I really want this fad that considers platforms hosting projects as social networks to end.

Very, very typical. Insider threat teams are a thing at many tech or otherwise companies. Nothing specific to crypto other than a higher incentive to have an ithreat team.

Oh it wouldn't accomplish anything. It'd be 100% hiding from the emotional pain of laying off employees that I believe are productive and good team members. But I've only got one life to live and emotions are real, so I don't have any problem optimizing for my emotions when making life choices.

> the Java GC (still in 2022) is often a major headache in production wrt latency when system is under load.

Can you say a bit more about your experience regarding this? In my experience, it is either not due to GC, because it is really hard to make the G1 GC miss its target pause time, or there is an easily debuggable function creating way too much object, and the fix is often trivial.

Like, the JVM has the state-of-the art GC implementations.

This is sort of highlighted by other comments, but GC is only good at small quick requests. If you're dealing with large or slow requests it results in large or long lived allocations which causes havoc with GC. This is true for any generational GC, Java included.

Also node will only perform well if that IO is offloaded to the kernel or CPP code and behind a future via epoll etc... If it's in the actual node runtime it'll perform poorly because it'll block the thread.

> So, how can one effectively fill gaps in their CS knowledge?

Its a vast subject, you will have a lifetime of learning on the job, so having a good memory will help because some knowledge you acquired years ago, think of it like a jigsaw piece, will sit in isolation tucked away in your mind until another piece of the jigsaw presents itself and then you can join those two pieces of knowledge together, and eventually you will have built a reasonable idea (think picture for the jigsaw analogy here), of how a computer works, how the OS works, software running on one or more OS'es works, and how it connects to other devices using the internet and other forms of communication like wifi, bluetooth, Infrared, etc etc.

Anecdotally, I've observed (over a 30-year career) that less than half of the people who have the qualifications can actually produce halfway decent code (as in code that doesn't crash the first time it's used or introduce new problems).
The point of a codename is that you want people to remember it.

It's much easier to for people remember the name of a project called "Sea Serpent" or "Bulldozer Gear" than ones called "Therty Athemark" or "Systiong", because the two former have previous associations that help us remember them.

Given how many startups work with python, which is notoriously slow, this is a somewhat ridiculous statement. Ocaml's performance is probably 50ish% of Rust's at worst, which I claim is more than enough for 99% of the problems out there.

Rust's popularity, again I claim, has almost nothing to with its performance. It's more about the much more modern tooling, relatively simplified language (for most parts, though obviously not all) and superior marketing.
