This is a fascinating use case that wouldn't have occurred to me at all, quite cool, even if it "doesn't know anything about anything at all".

It even does pretty good with Verilog, which I assumed it would have issues with, admittedly some of this is just "google-able", but even so. It can even create a reasonable attempt at a testbench (even though it doesn't quite get it right), which is crazy to me.

*Explain this code:

module my_module(a,c,y);
input a,c;
output y;
assign y= c ? a : 1'bz;
endmodule*

This code is a Verilog module that defines three inputs (a, c, y) and one output (y). The output y is assigned to the value of a if c is true, otherwise it is assigned to 1'bz.

*What is 1'bz ?*

1'bz is a Verilog constant that represents a bit value of 'z', which is used to indicate a high impedance state.

*Why is high impedance used ?*

High impedance is used in digital circuits to allow multiple drivers to share a single bus without contention. When two or more drivers attempt to drive the same bus at the same time, a contention can occur and the bus voltage can become undefined. By using high impedance, drivers can avoid contention and allow the bus to remain stable.

*Give me a testbench for this module*

module testbench;
reg a;
reg c;
wire y;

my_module dut(a, c, y);

initial begin
a = 1'b0;
c = 1'b0;
#1;
a = 1'b1;
c = 1'b1;
#1;
a = 1'bz;
c = 1'b1;
#1;
a = 1'bx;
c = 1'b1;
#1;
$stop;
end

endmodule

*Create the same testbench but add validation of the output.*

module testbench;
reg a;
reg c;
wire y;

my_module dut(a, c, y);

initial begin
a = 1'b0;
c = 1'b0;
#1;
a = 1'b1;
c = 1'b1;
#1;
a = 1'bz;
c = 1'b1;
#1;
a = 1'bx;
c = 1'b1;
#1;
$stop;
end

always @(*) begin
if (c == 1'b0)
assert(y == 1'b0);
else if (c == 1'b1)
assert(y == a);
else if (c == 1'bz)
assert(y == 1'bz);
else if (c == 1'bx)
assert(y == 1'bx);
end

endmodule
Seems to me like a "Year of Living Biblically" kind of endeavor -- doing something for the sake of being able to say you did it.

If you actually succeed in doing it, it shows an admirable degree of personal discipline. But what if, instead, you were pick the 10 or 15% of the works that really speak to you and build a list of 3 or 4 top notch secondary research books around each primary source book? I think you would come away with a much deeper understanding and would find it much more satisfying. Brilliant people have thought about and extended these ideas for centuries and if you just read the original documents you miss out on all that. I can tell you that I graduated with a degree in electrical engineering without ever having read anything by James Clerk Maxwell. Similarly I doubt you will get much -- apart from observing the spirit of discovery -- from reading Harvey's (yes you spelled his name wrong) Exercises on the Generation of Animals.
And wrote it in the SEC filed docs.
That's my devil's advocate take. This basically prevents another uBlock or $INSERT_ANY_CHEETAH_MOBILE_THING situation.
Volunteering is all about taking responsibility. If you contribute regularly to a project with many users, you can't avoid the responsibility. If you only want to express yourself by writing code without the burden of responsibility, you should contribute to something else.

One thing I've learned from various volunteer projects and organizations is that good volunteer administrators are rare. Finding good people for the creative parts of the project is not particularly difficult, because creative work is inherently satisfying. Administrators are another story. Many try the job and quit, because they don't enjoy it enough to do it in their free time. Others are not suitable for the role. Some are good and motivated administrators, but they drive other volunteers away by trying to manage them. And then there are the rare ones who can be administrators and enjoy it without ruining the project for everyone else. If you manage to find one, the last thing you want to do is increasing their burden.

As far as I understand, PyPI is largely a volunteer project. It works only because some people find running that kind of bureaucracy satisfying. It's their project, and they can run it any way they want. If their burden gets too heavy, they may quit, and then the project may fail. That would probably be a bigger issue than some open source contributors not liking how PyPI is run.
ultimately somebody has to buy and own and operate the underlying hardware of the "cloud".

obviously AWS, azure, etc do their own hardware procurement and totally bespoke stuff in house.

so this would be targeted at any smaller players in hosting companies that are not at that massive size of azure, but need vast quantity of servers.
Sounds like you are much closer to production than me. Pre-harvest spraying is only something I have read about. Around here we talk about grades of seafood not crops. Here are a few sources I found recommending pre-harvest spraying and one talking about ending the practice in Canada.

I think I was 10 when I found this. The interest in rocketry it kindled has lasted my lifetime. Wonderful book! Wish I still had my copy for old time's sake.
Exactly so has existing almost entirely in the window we're talking about. But I think we can guage it by a, still going after 22 years and b, having exceeded design orbit duration by 3x. Obviously the air / space force / nasa etc have been sufficiently happy with the program to keep it going for so long.

Of course they said no. They'd never be able to get an attorney to come work for them again.

This Musk will ruin careers stuff is way, way overblown. If they lose his business, he wasn't worth working with in the first place.
Note: I work in the payments space.

Shopify is one of Stripe's largest customers and a very heavy influencer of their roadmap (example: Stripe Treasury, BillPay (coming soon!), and more!)
Note that in TFA, the continuation of this very silly statement is footnoted [6], which literally starts with "I made this joke before...", so none of us ought to be taking it seriously.
And the vandalism was done with an anonymous IPv6 account (from bt.com), which is perfect in a way as it illustrates the issue and trade-off Wikipedia has to deal with.
I know cars have many trackers and send your location to the manufacturer and sometimes your insurance too, but this is a whole new level, this is actively intervening in how you use your own car.

Also I don't understand what does this have to do with climate change?
You've basically written a lot of words here to say that Musk is making companies people want to invest in, and somehow that's the Fed's fault.
Yes, it's understandable that that moderation practice is kind of obscure and can be annoying. I wrote an explanation of it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27132402.

I looked for posts that match your description and found these three:

It looks like we detached https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27058506 from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27058435 because it was offtopic - and probably also several other of the reasons I listed at the above link.

Looks like we detached https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28695222 from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28694236 for similar reasons.

Looks like we detached https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30749836 from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30748070 for similar reasons.

In all 3 cases, the original parent was a massive subthread, probably at the top of the page. When child threads develop under top-heavy subthreads and cause discussion to drift in a generic direction, away from the original topic, that's a problem for thread quality. This is one of the most common times when we detach subthreads. All 3 examples look like classic cases to me.

Moderating top subthreads in this and other ways is probably the single biggest thing that moderators do here to promote thread quality. It makes a huge difference. We've learned a lot about this in the last few years.

By the way, none of this is necessarily a problem with the detached comment, nor does it imply anything bad about your (i.e. the child commenter's) intent. Often the child comment has been posted for exactly the right reason—thoughtful conversation. But if it takes a step away from the original topic in a generic direction, or a flameprone direction, upvotes and replies often start pouring in, skewing the thread as a whole in a way that makes it less interesting.

In other words, this is not just the fault of the child commenter (and maybe not at all). It's a co-creation along with all the other repliers and upvoters.

The more we learn, the clearer it gets that we need to moderate not specific posts, but subthreads. Subthreads are the unit of HN comment moderation. (Edit: doesn't that mean—someone will ask—that you could maliciously derail/destroy a subthread by adding bad comments to it? No, because we can detach those. That's case (2) in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27132402.)

Understanding that online discussion gets less interesting as it gets more generic is one of the bedrock principles here. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
Twitter says it removes over 1M spam accounts each day
It is noncompliance. Such severe actions are undertaken only when the ISP react to multiple abuse@ notifications.
A lot is discussed here about cellular life. There are equally fascinating things about complex societal life systems. For example most people fascinated about life in this thread are likely highly paid programmers looking for a hobby. Most actual biologists who work on this for a living are worried about meeting their ends and paying mortgages that they likely have no time to wonder about amazing aspects of their day to day work.
I don’t have any love for MS Office and Teams, but I have experienced literally none of the issues you mentioned other than the two calendars, but that is easily solved by just using one.
> so this would be targeted at any smaller players in hosting companies that are not at that massive size of azure, but need vast quantity of servers.

But my understanding Oxide is/will-be priced as a premium over a typical x86 server.

It seems unlikely that any hosting company is going to pay a premium just for a bit more convenience.

Note: I'm not trying to be a "hater". Just genuinely not understanding the market here.
At minimum labelling entertainment news clearly as such, and applying some amount of industry standard requirements. There are many bodies working on this, but most ombusman organizations remain in-house. I suspect we can broaden that, such as the Press Complaints Commission.
Maybe they did this to thwart abuse from users on prepaid plans from TMUS MVNOs?

Either way, users can just WireGuard their way in (Mullvad supports IPv6 tunnels)
you are correct, margins are very thin in hosting company business and the absolute most server performance/number of nodes for the least money is very important.

have been on the manufacturing side of this before.

bulk x86-64 servers such as you could buy from the vendors you meet at the computex taipei are a big part of it.

things along the same general idea as the supermicro that is 2U high and has four discrete nodes in it, but cheaper.

long/narrow motherboards with dual socket xeons

and other similar stuff...

if the price for this is not market competitive with that, or just a bunch of 1U commodity dual socket servers, the only people buying it will be enterprise/specialty end user and not hosting operations.
I like monitored cgi shell script endpoints a lot, e.g. the one behind https://updown.io/44q5 is https://codeberg.org/mro/internet-radio-recorder/src/branch/...
It's not based on this assumption at all. In fact, the Laffer curve is named after an economist who did his best to provide "intellectual heft" to politicians who wanted to reduce taxation as far as possible (and maybe a little further than that), later summarized by one of them as "shrink[ing] the government to the point where we can drown it in the bathtub".
Things look better under Nadella. But they really aren't that much better.
It's unlikely Musk expected Cooley to cave to his ridiculous demand. It's very likely the intended target for this action was every person who deals with Musk's future illegal actions.
People imagine some special mechanism of transfer, but the reality is that we get bacteria from inside and outside of our bodies all over stuff, all the time, and we’re crawling with it. The babies would be introduced to GI tract flora pretty much immediately even if you tried to prevent it (unless you prevent it with antibiotics of course).
The problem is, the way I see it, everyone wants to be one car ahead. So they all try to push each other out of the way.

It wasn’t like that when the limit was higher. Lower limit, people tend to get closer.

I don’t see this _so often_ in Germany, neither in Belgium.
I’m not familiar with the 'Odds Ratio,' but after reading the Wikipedia page, it seems the number here represents a very weak correlation. Am I mistaken?
I actually think I agree with your former self, how do you tell the difference between a server and an application error? How do you tell the difference between "record not found" and "there is no GraphQL endpoint here at all"? Or "you are not allowed to access GraphQL" and "you are not allowed to access the server."

Especially because error responses from your web server layer are usually really different than errors from your backends.
I hope most of them die. There’s too many characters. The first season was fun but it just keeps growing and growing. It’s like the teenage angst MCU, each set of characters has to have a scene where they talk about their feelings with one another and it’s boring at this point.
GPT-3 fails horribly, then I coax it into figuring out how to phreak a payphone
SpaceX's product isn't reusable launches it's just launches, the reusability is their competitive advantage. There's a lot of other launch providers out there.
>when I hear that Kate Bush song for the 90th time in a day because of Stranger Things.

Personally, I started listening to her because of the much smaller "wuthering heights fandom". Regardless of how people get into her, it's good to hear people are finally listening to her in the states.
One suspects Twitter may have more means and motivation to get what they're owed from Musk than a purposefully-emaciated regulatory body.
Discipline cuts both ways.

Being disciplined in your work. And being disciplined in your self care.

Stop staying up till 4 am playing video games, and instead establish a good sleep schedule. Stop forcing yourself to work all weekend or evenings. Stop procrastinating during work hours, and instead lean in to your work.
What was it about the "Smack My Bitch Up" remake video that made you lose respect for the composition?

Remaking an existing hit song is much easier than making a new hit song. Making a hit song is very very very hard, even if you're using some samples along the way.

Same goes for Daft Punk. Those samples were all sitting there for the taking for years, but no one else put them together in such an electric way, supplemented perfectly with their own synths and drum machines, mixed brilliantly (there's a lot of unique and creative mixing and engineering going on) etc.

I did a little remake of the main loop of LCD Soundsystem's Someone Great. It wasn't particularly hard (once I had access to the right synths). But to have sculpted idea to use those sounds, notes, chords etc. all put together like that is brilliant.
Yesss! Another open source project based on the same idea I sometime did a prototype of but never made it. I love it when this happens :)

It is not good for the planet.
I have Crohn's and I remember my pediatrician as being very willing to prescribe meds at the drop of a hat. I still remember the oral antibiotics I had as a little kid in the 70s. So this would not surprise me. A lot of the theories I've heard of Crohn's is it happens because modern humans are too clean, germ free and not riddled with parasites, giving the immune system too much free time at which point it starts attacking the gut.
Also, IPv4 is far from perfect too, especially with some countries wide-spread usage of carrier-grade NAT. I had a new IP every day. I usually edit Wikipedia without being logged in, mostly just due to laziness (most edits are just small entirely uncontroversial fixes of syntax, sometimes adding a reference, etc.) and would regularly get IP blocked because one of the who-knows-how-many-people used this IP in the last year engaged in some twattery.
Musk and his lawyers agreed to the provision, and a court approved the deal. That is pretty strong evidence it's not an absurd provision.
Not yet. Still stripe. I assume their eventually do it as they seek larger merchants that will require interchange plus billing and not blended.
I think there's an even better explanation, and liquidating $8.5 billion of Tesla stock may just be the icing on the cake:

Elon despises the SEC and he's now has exposed that the "less than 5%" of accounts are bots, that the SEC should have verified and accepted their methods for determining that number - and it should be adequate and reasonable to give a grounded-in-reality output, and it seems like it's a total bullshit statement.

I'd be surprised if Twitter stockholders don't sue the SEC.
I'm pretty sure abrax3141 understood this. Some things are just unfixable because they're "not even wrong". You basically have to start from scratch.
As a sort of digital "happening," it's...fun? Interesting? "Neat?"

As something I will ever reference, it's basically useless. Which, I feel bad saying, because that suggests that I'm somehow considered in any way in this graph. But, the reason I mention it is because this and the rest of the "here's all my xyz knowledge/notes laid out for you to peruse" graphs and digital gardens are just bad ways of engaging with someone else's ideas.

The idea is there: start anywhere! Follow the meandering path! But, the experience is more: "well, I guess I need to start at the beginning again" (digital gardens) and "I guess I'll just pick a random node cuz they're all supposed to be equally interesting?" (the OP)
Did Bush use this feature? Where on the album/song can we hear it?
Not sure what that has to do with being blind except the audio part, and we already have text to speech systems to read the actual code

Programming while biking with ai is like relying on a really buggy early stage auto-drive ai system to take you places down winding, slippery roads while you sleep at the wheel. It might get you there most of the time, but I’d might bend you around a tree too
Hopefully the retirement age will increase, too!
Hey, me too. Kind of bummed that had to happen. I had a few invasive and unnecessary operations as a kid.

I walked on my tippy toes for example, and lost flexibility in my ankles. Rather than, you know, stretch and exercise my ankles… My Achilles’ tendons were cut and stretched, then I was in casts with my ankles extended for quite a while.

Nothing was really physically wrong, I was just a weird kid.

> The abdication of Congress in many areas of governance has placed undue influence in the state governments.

Don't forget the 10th amendment. State governments having power over their laws is a feature not a bug.
I've been sitting on the idea for nearly a year just waiting for someone else to do it! Glad I'm not alone
Reminds me of the impotence of the American system to deal with Trump over the years. And he opened the flood gates for scofflaws.

If they don’t make an example of Musk (if he so deserves it), the same thing will happen and Delaware will become less useful for corporations.

> Banks would then lend that money out to earn interest. We then basically decided this was too conservative a strategy so we have fractional reserves, meaning if you have $100,000 in deposits you might be able to lend out $1 million.

This is entirely wrong. Fractional reserve banking is what allows lending. How do you envision a bank with $100k lends out $1m? What fractional reserves mean is the opposite: if you have $1m of deposits you can lend out $900k and only be required to keep $100k of reserves to meet withdrawal demands. This is the “fractional” bit of fractional reserves.

Honestly HN please, go and learn the basics before penning comments that lack basic understanding.
Canada is huge and sparsely populated. There's a reason that they can only muster a few places above the border to settle. Pick a community just outside of a metro and setup shop. You need density and you might as well play city planning to some advantage. Wisp may be the fastest way to start. Business customers will be your lifeblood.
Typically, if you want to distribute money to each and every shareholder you pay them dividend. Must would only need to wire money to Twitter corporate account first.

Ask HN: How Do You Select a Graphic Designer?
My business partners and I are rethinking the design of our app (https://www.myecen.com). We seem to have a hard time finding the right designer. I think its in large part that they (the designers) don't "feel" the target market of the app, which are immigrants. So I'm thinking we need to find an immigrant designer. How?! Thoughts?
The thread talks about preorders already sold via Shopify. Switching away doesn’t help with those.
It’s once every 1-2 weeks. Sorry I thought “routine” would convey “periodic” back in that moment.
Is there a help page anywhere? Quiz mode seems self explanatory, but I can't figure out what to "do" in the other mode. For example, in "Chords" mode it just shows me the 1st chord. Pressing notes on my keyboard plays the sounds of the keys being pressed, but the UI never does anything different.
Large enterprises running things on prem. Governments etc.
Fun fact: German synthie pop band "Münchner Freiheit" used a very similar synth intro in their 1986 hit "Tausendmal du" (a thousand times you). Their song was published just 6 months after Kate Bush released "Running up that hill". Plagiarism or Coincidence?

A fun side effect of all of this: if you believe in the court's ability to force Musk to buy Twitter, you should continue to buy up stock until it reaches the price Musk agreed to pay for it.

If you don't believe he'll be forced to pay, you should sell and/or short until it's at whatever you think the right market value for a stock of Twitter ought to be.

And wherever the price is between those two is a direct function of what experts believe the probability of each outcome is. It's like a massive betting market on a legal case.
