I'm so glad you think an AI is better equipped to answer student questions than an actual human being! I'm sure your years of experience and expertise in the field of education have really helped you develop this groundbreaking opinion.
I can't see the source either.

Re the concurrent updates - yes, Postgres is multi-process. However, the hstore and HLL approaches are going to have a lot of contention at the row level. The association table wouldn't have that contention, since each user would get their own row.

The hstore/HLL approaches _could_ be sharded on a hash of the user's ID. In fact, this would work really well for HLL since I think you can union HLL structures quickly. But I don't think any of this was addressed in the article...
> Why not just suggest they go sit in the garage with a car running?

Because an ICE car engine's thermodynamic efficiency is already abysmal and running an AC off the alternator current makes it even worse. That and carbon monoxide poisoning.

But if you have an EV, it's a pretty nifty idea right now to plug it in and turn on the AC to cool down. I'm going to share that idea with some folks I know in the UK with EVs.
I'm pretty sure that the "all men" in that document wasn't literally "all men" (even, never mind all people) either, so perhaps we wouldn't consider it the last word on the subject.

Its one guys lab there (Mordecai). They basically churn out a metric fuckload of the same thing, different bus.

None of it makes for a practical attack.
uploading yourself doesn't mean you transfer across, its just another you, except you gain nothing from the other you, because only the original you is you.

So, are you willing to kill yourself, to live forever? You will never experience anything ever again, for an life of infinite experiences that arn't yours except in name.

I wouldn't!

Co-sleeping in an attached cot is encouraged in some European countries AFAIK. And I know families that have used the same bed; even we did that on some days, it can be quite nice :-)

It’s important to never drink alcohol or go to bed impaired in any way.
Yup, that's the part that makes this attack completely impractical. You are trying to leak information but first you have to install a virus on the computer? Neat concept, wildly impractical.

I know XMPP is not as popular these days, but there is an XMPP extension for pushing Atom stanzas as a sort of the push complement to RSS.

> The advertising monetization model can't be stopped dead in its tracks.

I agree, but it's not like I can't wish for it :)

> Note that I don't use Brave, nor particularly care about the company, but BAT is the best idea that works in practice to overcome the ad business model. It should be celebrated for that, and we need more such projects.

I don't like being told how I should feel about something :) I don't celebrate them and I won't. For me the solution is ever more and ever more efficient adblockers, as well as bans on tracking like the EU is doing. This is something that does really work. Many sites are really seeing a drop in income from ads and are looking for alternatives now. Hurting someone in their wallet really works.

I think BAT is a dead-end, they don't have the market power to bring about this change, and the ideal outcome is only one of the possible ones around. Seeing as how you really do celebrate their solution but still don't use it illustrates the issue I see with it.
Flaky tests, like bugs, are inevitable
There's actually more stuff like this than the author might think. "Prey" (2017) is a game set in a space station orbiting the moon, only for it to be revealed at the end that it's a simulation/test to gauge the humanity of the main character/player, and with the implication this is far from the first test.

SOMA is a horror game that gradually reveals you are simulated person in a underwater exploration suit, and provides well-constructed and disturbing examples of what this implies - there's zero indication of time between the point where your brain in scanned initially (some point in the late 21st century) and when the simulation is booted up from that scan (a hundred years later). At one point, your character is conversing with another person running inside a small portable device; you disconnect her mid-sentence, do other stuff for half an hour, reconnect her, only to hear her continuing that sentence exactly as if no time had passed (as for her, none did). SOMA also has you move from one body to another, and shifts your perspective - but you can hear your initial self in the first body is still active, and will be trapped there forever, while you move on in the new one.

There's others - Eclipse Phase is a pen-and-paper RPG setting/ruleset with an emphasis on transhumanism and horror; Ghost in the Shell touches on some of these themes occasionally; Moon considers some of these ideas from a physical cloning aspect; and of course there's a range of SF writers. How much and how deeply this makes it into the popular consciousness is another question, of course, but I think it'll increase in the coming decades.
Uber had a really good innovation with their app but other taxi companies started to roll out their own and at that point Uber had to compete on cost.

"Citywide compressed air energy systems have been built since 1870.[23] Cities such as Paris, France; Birmingham, England; Dresden, Rixdorf and Offenbach, Germany and Buenos Aires, Argentina installed such systems. Victor Popp constructed the first systems to power clocks by sending a pulse of air every minute to change their pointer arms. They quickly evolved to deliver power to homes and industries.[24] As of 1896, the Paris system had 2.2 MW of generation distributed at 550 kPa in 50 km of air pipes for motors in light and heavy industry. Usage was measured by cubic meters.[23] The systems were the main source of house-delivered energy in those days and also powered the machines of dentists, seamstresses, printing facilities and bakeries."

Okay, and as a counterpoint: being able to up and leave your community on a dime to choose another one leads to filter bubbles, mutual distrust, easy "othering" of communities not your own, and makes more challenging any work to improve dialog, communication, and mutual understanding and respect across society and across class because: why bother repairing or bettering your community when your BATNA [1] is "I'll never have to see these people again"?

I'm not advocating for the alternative, in the slightest -- being forced to be part of a community that doesn't respect you the way you are (as was true for MANY pre-internet, including anyone who wasn't part of the heteronormative or neurotypical hegemony) is horrible, toxic, abusive, etc., and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. But the dramatic filtering of American society into factions that mirror political parties with shockingly separate information worlds that frankly describe completely different realities is made much easier because it is so easy to silo yourself.

There is no easy answer here.

> hoping their model became sentient

Machine learning is just huge datasets statistically analyzed with linear algebra to help process it faster. ML doesn't become sentient, it just acts according to the training set.
Sorry, I should have said We've found calls and texts sufficient. My point is people seemed to be giving you anecdotes about how they personally got away and you are taking it as "DO THIS" You are free to keep up on Facebook. We're not shaming you or at least I'm not reading the comments that way. My point is - if you really want off Facebook, you can do it.
You seem to be ignoring that all the punch through connectors on a board are currently on the side that air must pass over.

Furthermore, I've never seen a case, either desktop or rackmount, that allows one to angle the fans at anything other than a 90 degree angle or parallel to the board.

None of this makes sense in terms of fluid dynamics.
Yes, this is a crucial insight that should be tattoo'd on every new grad's forehead! Less desirable jobs are overrepresented in the market because they have more turnover, by definition.

+1 for Feedly, although I use Feedly Classic on IOS for a more concise, no-frills UI. I really appreciate the header + summary without thumbnails format for quickly going through large-volume sources (like HN).
In practice, yes, it's very common to use a shader to sample the texture with some rotation and noise. Most games have a shader level implementation to address this, and we've done that for a decade at least.

See: https://iquilezles.org/articles/texture repetition/ for a good breakdown on some techniques.
That’s a bit of a willful misinterpretation

Ask HN: What do you do to manage subscription service emails?
It seems like every service that I sign up for wants an email address to even look at information on their websites. Without much effort, I end up with a bazillion emails from all of these services. It feels like I want to set up aliases to at least group messages by the type of service but that even gets unwieldy at some point. How do y'all manage this? Is this a problem for you?

Thank you for your time.
I don't think it's that the bike is more fragile when shipped, but it's susceptible to different kinds of damage. Bike frames are optimised to be extremely strong in certain directions whilst using the minimum amount of material and certainly with carbon fibre, the frame "tubes" are incredibly strong to riding bumps, but can crack horribly when bumped from the side. Metal frames tend to be more resilient to sideways knocks, but the principle still applies.

When shipped in a large rectangular box (the most practical shape for a bike), there's more chance that the impact is going to be on the large face and that's the direction that bike frames are not optimised for.
> Uber engineering has a few gems but for every 1 gem they've hired 10 or more greedy idiots, so maybe not a great example?

What an odd sprinkling of something entirely personal.

> Otherwise, be pragmatic: Learn Make, Maven, and Gradle; then you'll be well-equipped for 95-99% of cases.

There's a time and a place for Bazel. Very large monorepos like those at Pinterest and Uber, with cross dependencies, and written in multiple languages benefit a lot from the remote backend and distributed cache of built artifacts.

Make, Maven, and Gradle, even only for JVM based projects seem to not be entirely comparable.
Interestingly, computer chips can often be run at lower voltage and wattage for a given frequency if they are kept at a colder temperature. As a home user I can significantly reduce power draw for a CPU/GPU by improving the cooling solution and lowering voltages.

The reasons this doesn't work for datacenters is two-fold, I think: First, they won't see efficiency improvements just by keeping their CPUs and GPUs (or RAM) cooler because the power levels/tables for the chips are baked-in, and operators aren't going to the trouble of tweaking voltages themselves. Second, even if they did tweak voltages, the cost of sustaining lower temperatures with better cooling likely won't outweigh the savings resulting from lower power draw for the chips.

Still, this raises the question of whether designing hardware for higher operating temperatures is always the right move. At some point there's going to be a cost in performance and/or efficiency that outweighs the savings from allowing higher temperatures. Ideally these tradeoffs should be balanced as a whole.
They rely on ads to make money. Twitter could add ads to their RSS feeds, just as they add ads to their app feeds.
I also boycott them for a more practical reason: I can’t listen to them in my normal podcatchers! I’d have to switch all my podcast listening to Spotify to change that, and that’s a pain.

The ancestor commenter is cynically pointing out that support systems are major factors in why the other students are more disproportionately not signaling potential to begin with

It is great that individuals picked are applying themselves and doing the work, it is noticeable this has some selective evolution towards some ethnicities pretty reliably, it is not recognizing how a deeper holistic solution can address the disparity in how other students can be motivated and presented with opportunities or how their home circumstance and support systems can be addressed
>Essentially, the real, unsubsidized market for on-demand chauffeured rides is much smaller than anyone anticipated.

It seemed probable that Uber pricing would approach taxi pricing. Which seems to have largely happened. And while Uber was arguably a better experience than cabs in many cities, it's not clear that just a better experience would cause a lot more usage at the same price.
Azure also has Azure AD, thus first class support for user and app identity. Cognito isn't even close.
Imagine assigning every living human being a virtual AI powered con artist to tail them around and try to convince them of whatever is ordered by the highest bidder. This AI is powered by mass surveillance and big data and is able to know the "mark" intimately and work on them 24/7 both directly and via their social network. Now throw in deep fakes, attention maximizing "compulsion loops" and other adversarial models of human cognition, etc.

It's basically the hydrogen bomb of propaganda, a doomsday machine for the mind. It would be like creating Satan, except this one would be entirely amoral and mercenary.

This doomsday machine only dooms as long as there's just one user. Burger King, Subway, McDonald's, Wendy's, and Taco Bell are all going to try to hack your mind to buy lunch from their chains. But people can't eat 5 lunches for lunch. In practice this doomsday persuasion is going to bog down in a red queen's race between propagandizers/advertisers with mutually exclusive goals, much like the current media environment. Improved persuasion technology means that organizations that want to persuade people end up spending money on zero-sum games against rival organizations but public behavior in aggregate doesn't change dramatically.
In my experience the dark stores were identically priced to my nearest supermarkets. The bigger issue is they didn't have the cheap brands. None of the $1 Barilla pasta sauces, instead it was the $5 brands.

> Drivers for things like WiFi are generally platform independent.

For the core of the driver that may be true. Ultimately the driver needs to _interface_ with the platform (and the OS) and for that custom code needs to be done to account for platform and OS differences. You cannot abstract away everything.
But we have all this today. Just install an adblocker. Ads are hardly pervasive at all for me, I really rarely see them unless I go out on the street. On the internet adblocking is almost 100% effective and I don't watch live TV.

In fact I see people who are more wealthy not using adblockers and paywall bypassers because they feel like they should support the sites somehow. It's a similar thing with downloading video content, many of my better-off friends are not downloading because they are worried about content disappearing. They actually care about the overall economic model working. My friends from worse circumstances (I know many people in lesser-off countries) don't give a shit about that and download all they can get. And I agree with them.

I myself don't have this worry. Content will never disappear one way or another. We had content on the internet before ads were really a thing and it was better than it is now in many ways. And I like cutting into the big megacorps' profits.

I'm sorry if this is obvious, but did you double-check your mpv was built with Sixel support? `mpv --vo=help` will list the video outputs your build of mpv supports; sixel should be listed there if your mpv was built with it, but I suspect most distros package mpv without sixel support.
It looks like the scale rating the energy efficiency of the fridges aged out of being useful. From the article: "Eventually, more than half of the products on the market were labelled A++ and A+++".

The fraudsters are really like 50x more of a problem than what you're talking about in practice. Even if you _think_ you're the sort who will never go beyond free tier, circle back in 3 years and you've probably forced your employer or someone you consult for to start paying for stuff even if you still use free tier for your personal stuff. I call it the "Adobe effect" -- a reference to how in the early 2010s some Adobe insiders famously released some of their own pirated photoshop torrents, with, rumor has it, company approval, because they realized the kids pirating photoshop would convert to sales ~5 years later when they work for whatever company. Free converts very well even if it is in surprising / indirect ways.

The fraudsters and miners, however, are a whole other thing. They will suck up the maximum amount of resources they can and extract a tiny profit from it. It will inevitably cost you, the cloud provider, money, because mining typically isn't profitable without GPU compute anyway, so the entire profitiably of what they're doing is based on the fact that you are offering free electricity. It's a net loss, as these users will also probably never convert proportional to the usage they incur. Most users of free tier services use a tiny fraction of the available free resources within the tier. These guys will hover at 99.99% always, ruining the whole profitability model and dramatically increasing the cost of acquriing a customer via free tier.
