I get what you are saying but it comes down to the relationship you have with yourself. I don't care about others opinions, in my own opinion I can't accept myself as just OK, even really good is not acceptable. "I was barely good enough at work and sucked at everything else" is not a good way to remember one's life in the end.

To each his own, the imporant piece in my opinion is to not judge others by your own measuring stick or live your life trying to measure up to others to get their acceptance or approval.

Every runner practices and runs to win the race. Every fighter also fights to win a championship. I realize a job isn't any of those but when you realize that ultimately a runner and a fighter both run and fight against themsleves, to be the best they can be and nothing more then maybe that is something we can all relate with.
Selling books by the pound sounds sacrilegious to me.

The drilling method described is distinguished from conventional methods by being much cheaper, besides being able to penetrate much deeper; and usable anywhere with stable geology, not just in a few select hot spots, as now.

So, if geothermal can get its operations cheaper, it could be good competition for wind and solar. Once plenty of storage capacity is on the grid, overproducing will not ever be a problem: the grid will absorb as much energy as any well can produce, provided the price is right.

This last is why nukes have no future: they cannot produce power at a price the market will pay.

Lake Travis might be better characterized as a river, but if we call it a lake that still has nothing to do with the objection in your parent comment. Lake Travis's surface area is 19,000 acres. A 12'-diameter pool cannot be called a "lake" because it is far, far too small to qualify. Inflow and outflow don't enter into it.

Note that by the proposed definition, all rivers and all segments of any river are lakes; outflow is always equal to inflow for any persistent body of water.

Personally, I'd be more comfortable choosing whether to call Lake Travis a "river" or a "lake" based on whether there's a current on the surface. If yes, it's a river. If not, why not call it a lake.

Though I know the first search term was unrelated but I tried it for some time as a regular search engine, tried a bunch of random keywords apart from what it was meant to do as well as some that can be legitimate questions as well.

I am liking the product quite a bit however. Good stuff.
See not to nit pick, but it’s that realm of thinking that is the reason we don’t have that level of technology.

Don’t get me wrong caring for our planet is Noble, but if the other hacker news article (the one that shows the events of our life) there are like 2b more people on the planet then existed when I was born, I think it’s time to tackle leaving the planet otherwise instead of banning fossil fuels we will be banning children.

Doesn't surprise me. You're my new example of folks still unaware.

My old one was here (none of the answers this guy got tell the truth of the situation):
https://old.reddit.com/r/signal/comments/q5tlg1/what_info_do...

Here's an early discussion on the user forum:
https://community.signalusers.org/t/proper-secure-value-secu...

It was a total mess with tons of posts there and on the subreddit too.
Here's an example:
https://old.reddit.com/r/signal/comments/htmzrr/psa_disablin...

Anyone not following all the drama at the time wouldn't have a clue, and a bunch of people who did still came away with incorrect information anyway because Signal didn't make it clear at all what they were doing and they've gone out of their way to avoid answering direct questions in a clear way ever since, instead keeping the myth that they don't collect user data alive.

There's no reason they couldn't have provided a simple opt out for the data collection and avoided the issue entirely and the fact that they wouldn't do that was red flag enough, but the mess of confusion their communications caused and their refusal to update their privacy policy should be all the evidence we need that they're not to be trusted. To be fair to the folks at Signal, they may actually be trying to communicate that very message to their users as loudly as they're legally able to.

Reddit user tabulated the top most discussed graphics card on the platform
It came out today, which means it should be assumed insecure against state sponsored actors…

What was announced today is the first version of a feature in a beta version of an operating system that won’t be released for at least 2 months from now. Chill.

I’m sure there will be the requisite white paper, statements from security experts, verification from industry groups, presentations at security conferences, etc.

In the meanwhile, from what little we know now, it seems to be heading in the right direction.
Is YC W23 in person or remote?
Looking at the YC application for W23, it says that the program will be fully remote (https://www.ycombinator.com/apply/). At the same time, we have an announcement that YC is back in person (https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/yc-is-back-in-person). Does anyone have any idea whether it will be one way or the other (or both)?
I remember listening to one of the Lex Fridman interviews with Jim Keller where he said that modern branch prediction in CPUs was now done by “neural nets” in silicon. Does anyone here have any insight into this?

Yes but on the other extreme if a state in the EU tried to create a 1 acre free movement zone within the country and then restricted movement everywhere else they would run afoul of the law. It's not black and white.

The question is where restricting access to an entire city lives.
In a similar vein, I find it quite curious/strange/amazing is that Russian gas has continued to flow through Ukraine during this war. Russia wants the cash and Ukraine does not want to shut off Europe from the gas until Europe does not want the gas to flow. I believe that Russia is still paying Ukraine gas transport fees. Realpolitik in action.
So, if I had a corpus of all the literature from 1800-1850 digitized, the context would be sufficiently different as to be a new language?

It seems to me that the happy accident of doing this research at the start of getting all human knowledge digitized is part of the unreasonable effectiveness of this overall technique.

Had it happened in 200 years, it might not have worked, right?
A Discovery of France – Book's Excerpts and Notes
Define "better".

I'm very familiar with both inlining and register allocation in GCC (I even helped write one of the register allocation rewrite attempts, until vlad went even further down the rabbit hole of writing register allocators than we did)

RA was itself is historically more advanced in amount of optimization it does itself in GCC, but was still mostly a wash, because it's still much easier to work with LLVM's form and better optimizers were written.

LLVM also nowadays has a fairly advanced register allocator if you want it (PBQP) - it produces near optimal register allocations. It's not used though. It hasn't been worth it.

Inlining, they are not usefully comparable - they are very different approaches, both are good, and during the last inliner rewrite in LLVM, large amounts of comparisons were done a large number of times, and there isn't anything to suggest that GCC's inliner is really better (unlike RA, where the default GCC algorithm is certainly more advanced than the default LLVM RA, despite this being a deliberate decision).

We spent a lot of time optimizing inlining and RA/etc code when we transitioned to LLVM at Google (many years ago now)

At when we made that transition it was a net positive thing for fleet, and it was on a very large codebase.

The truth about compilers is there are no silver bullets.
Things get faster mostly through careful tuning (which ML will hopefully replace), and much more rarely due to better algorithms.

As a result, i would expect GCC to not do any better here than LLVM.

I have, yes. I've also had an account since invite-times, and the spam filtering was the main feature that has kept me from migrating off.

I now get terrible, obvious-spam messages. Huge images to evade text filtering, subject lines with all special characters, the classic hallmarks. OCR on the images would make it obvious--not that I want Google OCR'ing images in emails.

I've been getting them for at least 6 months now, maybe as long as a year.

I will say that it peaked for a while, and lately has improved again.
There are multiple free DICOM readers, but each imaging device manufacturer has its own interpretation of what a "DICOM" file is, so there are a lot of quirks.

> Any C/C++ extensions that wants to enable more efficient Python has to learn GIL and how to manipulate that as well. Including not limited to: how to give up GIL (so that other Python code can progress); how to prepare your newly initiated threads to be Python GIL friendly etc.

Sure, but the easy cases are easy (in particular, you can usually do nothing and it will be correct but slow, which is much better than fast but incorrect) and the hard cases are possible.

> Personally, GIL is more surprising to me when interop with Python.

Any GCed language, including Go, will oblige you to integrate with its APIs if you want to handle complex cases correctly.
I've put hundreds of hours into a Hayley Westenra Christmas album. I liked it for coding because it was generally happy music but it didn't take any mental cycles away from me thinking about code. For other catchy tunes, I generally find myself singing along, which distracts me from work. But Christmas music is just background noise....
That makes no sense. People are already "in" the economy. The economy has worked so far and will continue to do so without bitcoin.
If you put your hand over a flame and it hurts you pull it back. It doesn't matter if it was "determined" that you would put your hand over it, there is still an obvious and immediate reaction to the action. The time it takes for these things to happen is also meaningful as it effects how much pain you feel.

So even in a completely determined universe, there are consequences, and time is meaningful. The only difference is whether you realize that there's a universal puppeteer or not.

I’ve been doing the same as far as reinstalling when an update goes awry. Not super convenient, but not too painful either. Overall I’ve found the LunarVim experience worth it. I think you’re right, it’s a quick moving package and bumpy updates are par for the course.

I’ll give SpaceVim a shot. LunarVim is great, but it’s good to see what else is out there. I love vim in general, but I’ve found myself killing too much time fine-tuning/breaking my config. LunarVim more or less works out of the box and gives me what I want. I’m curious to see what SpaceVim has to offer.
I was a Math Statistics major.

My first job was in COBOL since I had no programming background and desperately wanted a job after finishing college.

From there I made a few new friends who were actually into coding and I learned PHP and JavaScript by meeting up with them at night after work. Did that for a year and a half or so and then got a freelance job writing JavaScript and Laravel. Did that for a month and a half and burned out (70-80 hour work weeks suck!)

Quit my crappy COBOL job, moved to Japan, got in touch with a recruiter there, thought I would stay but ended up starting a small web dev company with a friend, traveled for a few years, company kind of died, got a job remotely with another company and kept traveling. Still traveling 7 years later. Now doing devops
Regenerative farmers were right... I just hope we can get moved over before mass starvation happens.
> How many of us write programs, support infrastructure, design gadgets … for what? What is important ? Our job… buying gadgets… traveling..

This would loosely describe the general form of most middle class peoples' jobs, technical or not. You work a lot so as not to slip down to a lower class (and build up a buffer that will last into your twilight years), and try to massage more meaning into the small amount of remaining time using gadgets, fashion, and travel. Security in the future would leave your brain free to do more meaningful things, but few have such luxury.

> How many of us work countless hours for companies whose missions we don’t perhaps even agree with… how many of us ponder what is important to us and why we act the way we do?

Once again, this is generally the domain of the affluent. Most great philosophers were affluent.
> It is really the most important place to be in the world right now.

Out of this world, surely?
Ye - it seems like it won't work out for us oh well.
I listen to Lex Friedman's podcast on Spotify during my walks, but the experience is pretty bad.

For example, if you have put your phone in your pocket, and then decide to open the app again, there will be an inevitable stutter as the app tries to reload the podcast using the video player. This is at least better than a few months ago, where going back to the video player shifted the playback to a seemingly random location in the podcast.

Also, if you go to the podcast's page and are trying to search for an old podcast, then good luck, because there's no way to search or filter for a particular word.
> For the hospital to send them directly to another hospital would literally take weeks (at a minimum) of back and forth between two overworked and incompetent IT teams.

Last time I had imaging done, my doctor gave me a list of nearby imaging services, and the one I selected was able to electronically send files back to my doctor.

Heck I've witnessed my old dentist send x-rays over to my new dentist, it took like 5 minutes. Then again it seems like dentists are better at technology all around.
There's nothing special about .dev domains, other than they're automatically included on Chrome's HSTS preload list (so Chrome won't let you connect to a .dev website unless it has a valid HTTPS cert). If Bluehost says they "don't support" them, they probably don't know what they're doing.

This is what you'd typically do to point a custom domain (eg example.dev) that you've registered through one DNS-hosting company to a website that you've set up with a different web-hosting company:

Specifically, bed bugs are very, very hard to kill once they infest something like a mattress. When they are dormant, they're almost invisible and almost indestructible. There is no effective way to remove an infestation from a mattress that doesn't either destroy the mattress or involve very toxic and/or illegal chemicals. (DDT was really the only effective pesticide for them, but that turned out to also really fuck up ecosystems, so we banned it)
It’s hard to give an exact answer without more granular data than I can find given that it changes year to year. However, very approximately:

0.5 percentage points (pp) infant deaths (birth defects, delivery complications, neonatal death, etc.)
6.5 pp deaths under 5 from infectious disease (primarily pneumonia and diarrheal diseases)
0.5 pp injuries (fairly evenly split among homicide, suicide, drowning, road accidents, other accidents, but with the last two taking somewhat larger shares)

Over the next decades most in your cohort will die from heart disease, stroke, or COPD.
How's that working out for the people in Flint? They still don't have clean water. Is it like the fairy in Peter Pan where if you believe hard enough the people in charge will magically become competent?

Obviously there are limits but having your water tested from time to time isn't bad advice.

Another thing I do is test my kids toys for lead, and it comes up positive roughly 1 out of 15 times. I could trust that the government and the big box store makes sure that never happens, maybe you do, but I do science so I can know instead.

That all is a lot of nonsense, this is an instance of Microsoft paying an open source developer to maintain open source. Yes, they actually do that sometimes.
The standard VAT rate in Germany is 19%, so that's not that far off the mark, assuming they include VAT in their pricing.
On the other hand, membership in that family is unlikely to be something you want widely advertised. I believe most of them changed their name.
Another avenue for machine translation is to use audio instead of text. There is much more audio data available and being generated on a daily basis, especially for cases like yours it would be very useful.
I hate capitalism as much as the next far left person but sometimes too much malice can be attributed to corporate actions when it's actually just stupid bureaucratic bullshit
I disagree with the "trash on arrival" assessment.

We've optimized standardized manufacturing to incredible levels, while any kind of "exception handling" is much harder to optimize, and thus becomes more expensive relative to manufacturing.

A return isn't equivalent to the original item. A return is an item of unknown quality/status that requires manual handling to be turned into a known, sellable item, unless you want to sell boxes full of rocks as new items. The cheaper making a new item is, the less worth it is to deal with the exceptions.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. If re-making is less resource intensive (human labor is also a resource) than the alternative, then re-making is often the right choice.

Repairing is also waste: It often involves inefficient one-off shipping and handling of spare parts, and is a massive sink for human effort.
OCR built in to Mac OS Preview.app:

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is committed to leading the response to
cybersecurity incidents and vulnerabilities to safeguard the nation's critical assets. Section 6 of
Executive Order 14028 directed DHS, via CISA, to "develop a standard set of operational procedures
(playbook) to be used in planning and conducting cybersecurity vulnerability and incident response
activity respecting Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) Information Systems."
There are many methods, but this is one of my favorites.

If the bias is rooted in fear, then it can sometimes help to ask yourself a bunch of "what if X" questions, where X can be anything related to the idea. While doing this, pay close attention for any subtle feelings of fear, anxiety, excitement, or any other emotion. If they are present, then that's a hint that your emotional biases may be in play.

For example, I believe climate change is real. So I ask myself, "What if climate change isn't real?" I get a little flare of fear, so I know that I am at least partially motivated by an emotional bias there.

Once you detect any emotional bias, that's when you bring Rationality skills into play and start using the scientific method. Test your beliefs. Ask yourself, "What's the easiest way to disprove my own belief?" and then perform that test or do that research. If you give it honest effort, and your belief stands up to many tests, then you can be more confident in it.

It can be tricky to be mindful enough to detect those subtle traces of fear, but with practice it gets easier.

If you want to get even better at working with your biases, check out the broader Rationality topic [0], and perhaps read some rationality fiction [1], it's amazing stuff.

Hey, I'm not here defending any of the desktop chaos or waving the whole: "but atleast choice is good!" flag. I just disagree with your attribution of everything to "the unix philosophy" and then snowballing that into Fuchsia.

I just think convergence is the exception not the norm for FOSS and this was more true before then now. That's less about "the unix philosophy" and more that only companies come with referees who pay you to converge and polish.

Marketing vaporware. The attacks used by NSO and other groups were exploits. You have two choices, either do not use the device with any external connection and not be exploited, or use the device with external services and be exploited. You cannot have it both ways. The underlying software will have to be written in a safe programming language, along with significant scrutiny on it's logic.

We will never have this, because we are ever decreasing the quality of software development. Apple could do something about this, but that is a politically and financially expensive move for no extra financial gain.

As always people will eat this up, and business will continue unaffected as usual.
