Pretty much. There won't be an anarchist wild west scenario as the maxis hope, but crypto will inevitably take over legacy systems due to how unmaintainable these have become.

The anti-crypto crowd tends to forget that even though the vast majority of blockchain transactions can be attributed to scams, rugpulls or whatever else, the fact remains that an insane amount of value, bogus or not, has been transacted with little to no issues and downtime on the most popular blockchains (except Solana, that is).

Once regulation is in place you'll have a technology that is vastly superior to the duct-taped monster we have today.
>> Even if it explains good performance on the test data, it does not explain the typically good performance on real world data never seen during the training process.

You'll have to clarify this because I'm not sure what you mean by "real world data". Do you mean e.g. data that is made available after a machine learning system is deployed "live"?

As far as I can tell, nobody really does this kind of "extrinsic" evaluation systematically, first of all because it is very expensive: such "real world data" is unlabelled, and must be labelled before the evaluation.

What's more, the "real world data" is very likely to change between deployments of a machine learning system so any evaluation of a model trained last month may not be valid this month.

So this is all basically very expensive in terms of both money and effort (so, money), and so nobody does it. Instead everyone relies on the approximation of real-world performance on their already labelled datasets.

I'm guessing you mean point of no return, which I've tried to find, to no avail. The closest I've found in the IPCC reports is vague predictions of local ecosystem collapse at 6C warming, predicted next century.
eSIM has one and only one user-friendly use-case: ahead of traveling abroad, to buy a local cell subscription without hassle of having to show up to a shop, or wait for mail-in.

Ditching physical SIMs altogether, on the other hand, is nothing other than giving free hand to your carrier to screw you over whenever you change phones.

I was expecting to see splitting the long term plans into multiple shorter wins. This ensures we celebrate wins and have a leading and lagging indicators. Constantly measure and iterate. If anything, pivot. Is that not how long term plans work.

In reality none of the long term plans have worked apart from long term habits and principles. Plans are there to fail.

It's not comparable. I can buy brand new Intel/AMD hardware and Linux generally boots out of the box with mostly everything working except some quirks that have a good chance to be fixed within a few months.

For some reason i can't reply to your next post, dpratt - so i'll reply here. I'm not intending to blame the user. I am merely saying that this is not something that all users that set their output above 5 experience.

It is definitely possible that there is a link; as i said, we're investigating, and in the meanwhile we recommend to try to reupdate as we have customers where that has fixed the issue.
At least around here delivery is often not that fast. I can usually do the pickup myself in half the time.
As usual, the various priorities are not aligned. The programmers "moved fast and broke things" in order to get the website up quickly. The delivery companies go to their VCs and boast they had thousands of new customers sign up. The VCs can go to their backers and boast of exponential growth curves. The backers are flush with money and desperate for returns and so will fund anything that looks like a growth area. Everyone got what they wanted (for a while).

"No-code" programs are still programs; each visual node or block or whatever is isomorphic to a construct in some programming language. Being code, it has to be maintained, especially as business needs shift, and "experts in the business domain" have other, better things to do with their time than maintain a bunch of computer programs. Thankfully, there are people in the company who specialize in maintaining computer programs -- software engineers. Which means that ultimately, software engineers will be responsible for all that no-code, and in addition to the usual telephone game they must contend with rat-wrestling some near-undebuggable node graph that lives only in a proprietary tool into doing what they want rather than using the tools they're familiar with and best at (ordinary textual code, version control, debuggers, etc.). And, Syndrome style, the company ends up throwing away the valuable time and effort of real software engineers so some mid-level manager can pretend to be one (and walk away when they get bored of that).

Both "socialist" and "libertarian" have definitions that not just changes within a country, but basically every country has its own understanding of the terms (just like what people in the US would consider "far-left" is basically "center" politics in many places in Europe).

Labeling something "socialist" or "libertarian" in a diverse place like HN probably harms more than it does good, as everyone will read it differently and have different takeways.
This is not inherently true - there is no hard and fast rule stating smaller companies are better to work at than larger companies by any metric.

I've worked at a broad spectrum of different sized firms with various titles ranging from analyst to engineer and have found no consistency between size of firm and work/life balance.

Ironically I've had a better work/life balance working for larger firms, but ultimately it comes down to your manager and how they manage the department.

One example - worked for a large investment bank building software and systems from scratch. Worked 6-7 days a week for up to 14 hours a day at times, but I honestly loved the work and was under no obligation to work that much. My boss and I had a great friendship outside of work and he would call my personal phone to remind me to stop working and do something else.

Any requested time-off was always approved by him, he would give me three weeks off for the month of December in addition to the PTO I had already taken during the course of the year.

Contrast this to a smaller (albeit one of the largest in their industry) company where we grinded every day 50-60 hours per week, PTO was a hard limit of 3 weeks per year and you were not permitted to take more than a week of PTO at a time and had to check-in every 5 days by e-mail. It was the worst job I've had in engineering. That said, there were brilliant folks working there but most left within a year. I sort of hope the company implodes but they're running away with success atm thanks in large part to the high quality engineers they hire (kudos to their hiring squad).
A simple fact to know:

1 kg of dry wood captures 1.65-1.80 kg of CO₂.

Not because the tree is bigger on the inside, but because the oxygen atoms are most of the CO₂ weight.

Considering that the RER started to operate in 1977 [0], I find that hard to believe.

Long term planning is perishable. The applicability and value of any detailed task within a plan is likely to be low in 2-6 months.

I don't understand why Europeans are so averse to AC. You don't have to run it all year (obviously) and it plugs into the wall so it is compatible with renewables, much in the same way as are EVs.

The biggest threat facing middle-age men is loneliness (2017)
Per Wikipedia, "An assault rifle is a selective fire rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine"

Selective fire means it has a fire mode other than semi-automatic(one trigger pull fires 1 round), such as 2 or 3 round burst, or fully automatic.

The Assault Weapons Ban of 94 basically scored weapons based off of sometimes irrelevant features (e.g. pistol grips, bayonet mounts, telescoping stocks)

One popular work around these days is "AR-15 pistols", which have an AR-15 style lower and upper, but instead of buffer tube assembly being placed in the stock, it sticks out the read of the weapon. Some manufacturers make "arm braces" to "attach it to your forearm" that look a lot like stocks, but aren't, because that would make this a short barreled rifle.

As a cop, I had a Colt AR-15. This was not an assault rifle, as it was semi-auto only.
If someone has an m2 50 caliber machine gun, that would not be an assault rifle, as the .50 is not considered an "intermediate cartridge".
In the 90s, Colt made what appeared to be a smaller fully automatic M-16, which fired 9mm rounds. This was also not an assault rifle, because it fired pistol rounds, not considered intermediate cartridge. This weapon would be an assault carbine or a submachinegun.

The media use of the term 'Assault Rifle' has been a meme among firearms owners for years. This was a good call by the AP
It _could_ look at the instructions following the read call and do a sort of high-level software macro-op fusion (https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/macro-operation_fusion)

That already would be going beyond the duty for a jitting virtual machine, so I don’t think you can expect that from a CPU. I also likely would make lots of programmers uneasy if their OS does that sort of thing.

For a ‘real’ CPU, I also fear handling all the edge cases would be horrific (the program may do a read-write pair of calls, but how do you ascertain it doesn’t read that data later? What if the read call tries to read into unwritable memory? What if the program is being traced, and read calls are being logged? Etc)
In my experience, police rarely go by “common sense” and rather follow whatever flowchart of rules they have to follow and bend them just enough so they don’t run into a problem down the line. All I’m saying is that this very concern I as an individual have, could be a reason of why someone wouldn’t knock down a door. If they are asking the police to do it they obviously don’t want to do it themselves.
It's not completely client side, because you have to hit a server to load the code. If anybody actually started using this for real, that'd be the weak link that would be (easily) attacked.
I should clarify that the warning applies specifically to the SQL storage format. I'm not aware of any data loss issues using the default XML format.

Agree that as a business you would not want to take any chances. For my personal use I use SQL because that means I can use the piecash[1] library to interact with my financial data without relying on the official Python bindings (which aren't great to use).

That is what it says, what is your point?
Almost anything I read that's titled as "X is being removed, and why that's a Good Thing" feels like propaganda. It's as though the article is written to convince me that it's a good thing, rather then to inform me about these new options that I would actually want.

>“The vision is, you can get a phone from anyone, and as you’re activating the device, you pick your service operator and off you go,”

But you will need to already have a phone subscription at that point. All that's being made "easier" is that now I'm not moving a physical chip from one device to the other, but instead I'm using a UI to switch service providers. This UI is almost guaranteed to offer a terrible user experience.

I'd love to be wrong, but I simply don't believe in the ability of these companies to offer a well-designed UX. My cynicism tells me that the move is entirely made to control your phone more.
Ask HN: Learn techniques to solve typical interview challenges?
There is a lot of material to help to prepare for the technical challenges that are typically used these days.

I'm interested in techniques rather than solutions.

With repetition, there are certain patterns that emerge, a set of types of problems, hence its counterpart: a set of techniques to solve them.

Like divide and conquer and greedy algorithms, memoization, etc.

Have you something to reference that is teaching technique rather than case to case solutions?
Yeah I had just one thought after skimming it, use Stripe.
Not sure if there is really an "outside of the team" lol, but for a month over the summer, we learned about 4 hours a day from the class above us / Frazer, then for another 4 hours taught the class below us.
USSR was almost destroyed by German invasion in 1941-1945. Because most of the population and almost all the industry resided (and continue to reside) in the western part of Russia/USSR, Germany destroyed immense amount of industry, infrastructure, houses, schools, hospitals. Even after capturing territories, Germany destroyed industrial plants because their plan was to completely eliminate people of Russian nationality and to use the captured lands for agriculture - to feed the Third Reich.

Also, they killed almost 30 million of young productive citizen of USSR.

It was a huge knock which almost no other country ever endured. And it set back the development of USSR.

Also, those comments about war and propaganda are also inaccurate. USA started much more wars than USSR/Russia, and as the result of those wars USA killed at least 20 million of people, destroyed infrastructure and industry, plundered resources, e.g. oil of Iraq and Libya. And haven't built anything.

If you'd really study the history, although I'm pretty sure you won't find any accurate information about USSR in the western history books, you'll learn, for example, how USSR built kindergardens, hospitals, schools and industry in Afghanistan and other countries. Investing the money and labor of Russian people in 3rd world countries. Had ever USA did the same?.. Other than printing another billion of USD and "giving" it to some other country, with 90% disappearing in somebody's pocket in transit.

And don't get me even started on propaganda. Do you believe western society doesn't have propaganda? How comes then that you all have the same opinion about everything? Especially on external politics.
And now there's 201!
Linux was booting within weeks. Hardly a herculian task. I'm really not sure where this idea comes from. Yes of course initial investment is pretty high because of the new architecture. But it's pretty clear they have proven they can do it. M2 was working with a few hours of coding. GPU prototype driver has over 90% compliance. Like when does this idea die?
There's a lot of people who have been doing the no code thing to build solutions for at least a decade now not knowing a lick of how to write code yet still building fantastic websites that get hacked almost every time because they don't appreciate how to maintain them. Do I need to name names?
Sure, I can relate. I work as a freelance developer and the closer I'm embedded with agile managed teams the more I wonder how anyone would do this for years and years.

Now my customers are mostly smallish till medium sized companies who need help to update their tech stack gradually. Which usually means inventing a lot of clue system and integration with working processes. It's tinkering. I work between two and five hours a day from home and have one meeting a week.
My first take is that making $50k your first month is pretty quick growth and looks suspicious. Also, something chatbot-based sounds a lot like spam content generation and that's something Google monopolizes for itself.

(I'd say at least half the time that somebody is complaining about unfair treatment by Adsense they are really guilty and trying to defend themselves like the murderer in an episode of Columbo.)

The resistance to surveillance, the kind of 'prepping' mentality of running everything yourself, never using third-party services, and sticking with older working ideas over trying new things, those are much more libertarian than socialist, going off literal definitions of individual liberty over collective society.
Of course Apple wants macOS to be your preference. They sell hardware and services that depend on macOS.

Things Apple does to make macOS more useful or appealing are in service of that goal. Absolutely.

I have not heard, and cannot find, any rumors about Apple shipping a Linux emulator. Links?

Regardless, I would not argue that Apple doesn't care about Linux. I would argue that Apple does not overcomplicate their hardware engineering with the goal of preventing people from running Linux on their hardware. And that is what I said.

macOS drives hardware sales. Apple makes money on hardware sales. They will not compromise their ability to change hardware or software to support a tiny noncommercial project, of course!

But at the end of the day, thinking as commercially as I can: Apple would prefer that you buy a M1 Mac and run Asahi, than buy a Dell running Windows or Linux instead. They have no opportunity to sell you macOS services in either case, but if you buy the M1, they capture hardware sales revenue.

I mean you say that, but for Linux the figures were very similar -- perhaps worse, until Valve put work into Wine and developed tech like, e.g. Proton
That's a really good way of putting it.

Essentially, there is this whole class of businesses that are fundamentally trying to make services available to (some definition of) middle class consumers who mostly couldn't/wouldn't afford them previously except as an occasional treat or a special case situation.

The problem is that technology doesn't make the labor cost cheaper and adds costs of its own.
Not sure how else I'd describe it. It's either dead or alive.

Great article, and raises the bar for what can be achieved at a young age. But it’s about building a winning team and not so much about broadly improving math education.
