have you considered looking into the 5g home offerings from Verizon and TMobile? In my area Spectrum was having a fine time jacking up rates unfettered and laughing at me when I asked to reduce them. I switched to Verizon 5G Home and when I called Spectrum to cancel, they practically begged me to stay (edit: I didn't) and have now adjusted their rates to match Vzw/Tmo; of course these reduced rates are only good for one year because they are Spectrum, and there is no cure.
One might say that the state of the art has been chained up with awful upload speeds. Where you can think of one possible application, I can think of more, and undoubtedly there are even more that don't occur to people because it doesn't enter their experience. Being able to do practical off-site backups from home, even snapshots on an hourly basis? That'd be the dream. Oh wait, I'm doing that now because I have 1 gigabit/sec upstream at home!
Show was an abomination. Hard to watch. And yes it's one of Netflix's smarter cancellations.

I wonder if generics would allow custom allocators.

I haven't tried it yet but it seems like an Arena/bump allocator for example should be possible now.
> for anyone who has driven for any period, "throttle control and steering" is completely autonomous and requires negligible consideration.

As someone who has driven a Tesla 10s of thousands of km now and was driving for decades before, I disagree. I can see why you'd think that, however it's like a muscle that's been tight for years. You're so used to it, you don't noticr it anymore. Once it loosens, you're surprised how much better it feels.
Didn't see specs listed anywhere prominent. This other page[0] has some.

Is that the _same_ angular momentum, or just the same term used for something different? My understanding is that "spin" isn't really anything necessarily spinning and it's more just an analogy for a property of subatomic particles that doesn't exactly correspond to a concept at the macro level.
> it doesn't matter if you do good for the wrong reasons though

My take on this is that no, it doesn't. Philanthropy is useful regardless of the source.

But it also absolves you of no guilt, and the shitty things you did in the past are still shitty, and you shouldn't expect people to like you any more just because you're donating to charity. (Although maybe people who know you personally can judge better whether you've improved.)
I don't think we have those departments where I live except in American or Euro companies that do outsourcing, nor any "STOP BULLYING" signs around the office in this neck of the woods.

After internship searching for a while, there are quite a few internships that are "volunteer work," most are upfront about this, but others don't make it so clear. It is a little annoying to say the least.
somewhat cynical, but I think effective.

Look into wireless internet service provider gear and mesh networks. It won't be faster than Comcast. 50Mbit maybe. Make flyers and talk to your neighbors. Call around and ask about pricing for fiber backhauls.

Of course you don't want to run your own ISP. But, you could. It's not really that hard. Your neighbors could chip in for gear and be part owners. or a co-op or whatever.

If you can create a plausible threat to the $5000 a month they're collecting around you, I suspect they'll greatly enhance performance in your area, and might even offer to connect you up.
Don't know if this is just mine, but the Privacy Policy and the TOS links both link to the help center.
It was cancelled pretty quickly. There was a lot of hate for it. I enjoyed it for what it was and would have liked to see another season.
A very sad story, but I am glad the author was able to confront their damage!
I thought Jet was great, Spike and Faye were just ok, Vicious was absolutely terrible and since the main villain was basically played for comic relief it kept the show from having any real emotional impact or gravitas.
And in the new world of a lot more people working remotely, upload speeds are suddenly a lot more important. Mostly because of viseo conferences, but transferring other kinds of data too.
> McCoy was lucky. He and his family are also a bit poorer because of the incident. If his parents hadn’t helped him out by giving him thousands of dollars to hire a lawyer, things could have turned out differently, he says.

Out of partly luck and partly a lawyer. He could easily have ended up in jail.
In my area, the arrival of 5g home wireless providers caused some fast downshifts in price by att and spectrum, albeit for introductory pricing.
Hey, let them be inspired, even if it is propaganda.

If there is anything to be done, is to help people differentiate speech that motivates versus a speech from a motivational speaker. For example, Steve Jobs told his story and it motivated a whole lot of people. I'm sure many people in this audience felt an jolt of inspiration when they watched that address.

However, when you finish watching a speech and you are told that this is only a glimpse of what is possible, and the rest is available in a 6 weeks program that will help you achieve your full potential... Now that's a different story.

In a past life, I spent each Tuesday watching a "successful" business man tell me that I can do it too, all I had to do was buy their book. One day, one of the most famous of them, who was allegedly a millionaire and the most popular Survivor in the tv show Survivor, came to present. His microphone was left on while he was backstage... The host was shouting as hard as he could to drown the sound of the celebrity asking his wife how much they made from ticket sales. Then he borrowed $15 from her for gas.

Contrast that with me listening to steve jobs speech and I felt motivated to keep working on my tiny javascript project. I haven't invented a new iphone, but at least it pushed me to work harder and make a career out it, lifting a family of 7 out of poverty. Yes, their are many more variable, but I certainly felt inspired listening.
Nobody, they’re talking about the antenna(/radio) itself.
I found the listing on angel.co, a website for finding jobs at startups.
I applied to many paid positions, but for the vast majority of them I never heard back, and I was becoming drained from the internship search. I figured that with unpaid positions there'd be a higher success rate and I'd still be getting good experience (although I'm kind of regretting that now).

The startup that I'm working for is pre-funding so they don't have any money to pay to anyone.
I'm trying to figure out what the likely outcome of this proposal will if enacted be, mapping to my tenuous but sufficient home internet service.

Is my current best-choice provider (TMO 5g Home internet) going to boost my speeds from current 10-100/1-10 Mbps dn/up to a solid floor of 100/20Mbs or lose Federal funding?

Or, will TMO receive more Federal funding to bring me up to a solid 100/20Mbs floor?

Or, will TMO classify my service as something other than "broadband" and continue to provide unchanged QoS?

Or, will TMo drop customers such as myself "on the performance margins" of their service (instead of boosting tower capacity)?
And also price and availability of pit coal. In 1700 over 80% of the worlds coal was mined in Britain. (from wikipedia)
Either that or they'll send a C&D and then file multiple lawsuits to strategically prevent others from having the same idea, sure.
Yeah, 68Mbps is up there in 4K Bluray territory. And YouTube skimps on bitrate at all resolutions.
This does not imply that the speed of light could depend on direction, though. If that were the case, we could see it by rotating a simple Michelson interferometer.
And no need to be in the countryside to experience this. I am living in Manhattan, Upper West Side, one of the most affluent neighborhood in the richest city of the country. It is Spectrum cable or nothing. There seem to be fiber around, but it did not make it to my street (lined with small buildings so maybe not interesting enough?). Meanwhile in France where we have spent some time this year, you get fiber in the most rural and isolated areas... Go figure.
Well the material that the authors have collected on teachyourselfcs.com is:

1) free

2) taken from outstanding courses at Berkeley, Stonybrook (the illustrious Steven Skiena), MIT and Stanford.

As I see it, this is evidence that those schools have some good courses. Graduate systems courses are pretty great as well, and of course you can hit other areas such as computer graphics, AI/ML, etc..

For formal education, I'm a bit biased toward multi-year programs (because it takes a while to learn this stuff) and schools (like those above) with good CS courses. But there's nothing to say that the authors' unaccredited graduate program is bad - based on the above I'd expect it's probably decent, although I worry about the 15 hours x 52 weeks though because I don't think that's enough time. In my experience a good systems or engineering course takes about 200 hours.
I love your post. I have to say that my experience is that many in the HN community are not nearly as kind as you. Folks here will rip you apart if you don't have everything figured out :(

This seems to implicitly mean low-level GUIs, or GUI frameworks? The only mention of Tauri is 'tao the fork of winit used by'.

The article opens:

> A few times a week, someone asks on the #gui-and-ui channel on the Rust Discord, “what is the best UI toolkit for my application?” Unfortunately there is still no clear answer to this question.

I would say if by 'UI toolkit for my application' you just want a way to make a GUI app, not a game or some kind of highly native or specific interaction needs thing, just use Tauri. No idea why it's not a 'top contender', it has an order of magnitude more GH stars than Druid, for whatever that counts; I can only assume they mean lower-level toolkits. (No affiliation.)

I just think someone new or unexposed to rust's going to see this and think it's way harder than it needs to be or is just to do something basic.

The problem is not just Comcast but everything of its ilk, and by that I mean Charter (Spectrum/former Time Warner Cable), RCN/Grande/Astound and similar giant size coax based DOCSIS3 operators. In Canada, Shaw and Rogers.

They are absolutely determined to squeeze every last dollar of ROI out of that existing coax cable plant by doing asymmetric RF channels for downstream/upstream. And not overbuilding themselves with GPON FTTH.

There's a limited amount of RF spectrum in a given coax segment and they bond it together in such a way that 85% of it is used for downstream, and some paltry amount for upstream. On a heavily loaded DOCSIS3 segment it can also be 12-13ms latency to the gateway which is an eternity in metro area networking fiber terms. So you end up with something like a 200 Mbps down x 15.5 Mbps up cable connection.

Obviously the abusive bait and switch customer acquisition and retention tactics are also a huge problem. Now they're doing additional bullshit like making special offers to bundle your cellphone service and cable together (Comcast is a MVNO on some nationwide cellular carriers), for a "discounted" price, so that it makes it more painful for you to switch your ISP service in the future if you're unhappy.

Eventually they will need to spend a spectacular amount of money to overbuild themselves because in some places the local phone company (centurylink, ziply, verizon, others) is building 1 strand of dark fiber to each house, running it to some neighborhood level splitter, and going 1G or 10GPON on it for service that approaches real symmetric gigabit to the customer. To individual single family houses.

Comcast is just the most obvious example of the problem in the incumbent cable operator industry.

Reselling free services is a time-honored business model (hundreds of years old, probably). It seems a bit “dodgy,” but lots of people are willing to pay for it.
Grand theft auto is a felony. Drawn guns is standard procedure for “felony stops.”

Your quarrel in this case is with the training, not the cops.
I've been playing around with Synit & Syndicate a bit already, and it's an impressive system. I've told Tony that Syndicate is the "missing session layer" for the Internet, since Syndicate enables multicast & broadcast communication between parties, not just unicast.

If anyone wants to really understand what's going on, I'd recommend looking at preserves[0], a serialization format Tony and some others have been working on. Preserves is a superset of JSON with actual semantics, a schema language and a binary representation. Syndicate, syndicate-server and synit all follow protocols defined in preserves schema, and so those are a good hook into learning how this system works.

Synit itself is impressive. With nearly trivial effort, I was able to get a web server running as a daemon, and verified that it was resilient to my repeated `killall`s.[1] I simply replaced the `"echo httpd"` with `"python -m http.server"` and then started `syndicate-server -c ./boot` inside the `experiments/layered-server-config/` directory. This example is actually overkill for my use case (a replacement for supervisord), but is simple enough that it can show how Synit works without much clutter.

Congratulations, Tony!

Because of the downvotes I will explain my statement.

The car has "a safety cell 7 times stronger than steel". That makes no sense. The strength of a physical object is a combination of the strength of its material(s), the geometry it's made into, and the joining method used to connect the parts.

An object is not stronger than steel, a material is. Saying an object is stronger than steel means nothing.

To anyone who watched the disaster that was the netflix live adaptation and was put off - please try the original anime. It's a masterpiece. Animation, characters, storytelling, soundtrack - it's all top shelf.

The original intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL-D9LrFJd4

The English dub is better than most, and if you really can't deal with subtitles, go for it - but the original voice actors were some of the best and there's so much there, it's a bit of a shame to miss out on it if you can tolerate reading the subtitles.

It's easy to find the dubbed first episode of the anime series online on youtube, if anyone wants to get their feet wet.

I still don't know what Netflix was thinking, trying to take on one of the most beloved and respected animes ever made, and giving it the budget and casting of a SyFy Channel C-grade doomsday movie.
The cops are a system- it comprises both its rules and those who enact them. The quarrel is with the cops.

Whenever the phrase 'evolutionary psychology' is used in a blog post it makes me physically cringe.

One of the greatest problems in the social sciences is the apparent inability to distinguish between cultural influences and fundamental genetic influences. A whole host of so-called 'evolved behavior' is really little more than cultural norms that people have adopted and now view as natural and normal. Claims that these behaviors are genetically hardwired and subject to natural selection like other traits are largely unsupported. The whole field is highly questionable and has little real value or scientific rigor.

One hundred companies are responsible for 71% of global greenhouse gas emissions.[1]

Rather than trying to change the habits of everyone on earth, a more realistic goal would be to change a fraction of these corporate polluters.

Efforts to place the responsibility of climate change on individuals is mostly corporate propaganda. Not that altering our habits wouldn't be an improvement, but it's not addressing the main cause of the problem.

> Veritasium has a nice video about it on YouTube.

He is often wrong in subtle and not—subtle ways, though. In this case, regardless of the issue of one-way measurements of c, his sources do not really support an anisotropy in the speed of light.

His video was mentioned already 5 or 6 times here. Isn’t here anything better at all?
Interesting. I almost never find any (for actual software roles), just checked Indeed again and still don't see any for here (SF). If I remove the word software they start appearing and are typically for nonprofits, arts, advocacy groups, etc and the maximum extent of tech is writing a blog article or sending emails.

It is more of a curriculum vitæ (résumé) than a portfolio. A good one, but the spirit is a bit different.

For me, a portfolio is where you show what you are capable of, and a fancy website is part of it. "If you hire me, this is what you can expect me to do for you". If you put a lot of text in your portfolio, it means you are showing off your skills as a writer. Which may be your point, coders with good writing skills are valuable.

> What resources does a 100 Mbps connection give access to that a 25 Mbps connection does not?

a 25 Mbps connection might be at the absolute top end of what's possible on some old degraded infrastructure that the local phone company has held together with the metaphorical equivalent of duct tape (like a VDSL2 DSLAM in a street cabinet attached to your copper). It can never get any better until replaced with a totally different technology.

100 Mbps at least requires something like reasonably well built DOCSIS3, if on old coax, or it could be a low tier service plan on something that is actually capable of gigabit. There's people out there right now buying cheap residential 100 Mbps accounts on GPON ONT that are actually capable of full gigabit.

by requiring providers to meet a metric of 100 Mbps down, it is one method of ensuring that whatever tech they use to provide the 100 in the last mile is at least somewhat future-proof.

Safety Implications of LeCun's path to machine intelligence
To be honest, usually the exact opposite. There are some things where I start writing in Rust and it turns out to be a bit of a pain, but this is unusual for the types of stuff I write. Typically this just means I need a crate to do the heavy lifting as I'm trying to do too much. I would say most things are solidly better and easier to write, and given the safety guarantees, often work even without tests (exception being complicated algorithms that I usually get wrong the first time). In summary, yes, I'm a bit of a fanboy, but there is a reason I am - Rust is pragmatic and helps me get things done in a way I have not found in other languages.
You never lived in a modern house with kids I take it? We got >10 devices online at all time. Phones,4k TV's, between 1 and 6 computers, up to half a dozen tablets. Live video feeds coming in (up to 4k in res), online gaming, live video chat connections going out, system updates, vpn into work, constant content streaming, software downloads, web apps, web games. Can easily fill a 100mb connection. Hell we do most of the day.

On the other side...you know once you have fiber pairs in the ground in good network layouts...its about 80 bucks per user for the infrastructure on each end to get the user 10gb symmetrical connection. In rural areas you can roll fiber cheap as chips, lil vibratory plough + conduit. air blow fiber from poi straight to peoples front door so to speak. Its actually quite a cheap process given the infra lasts for about 20 years.

I think there isn't an inbound link, the crawler is choosing to hit http://wix.com/ if links to wix.com subdomains are common enough. It might be that there are millions of links to www.wix.com and docs.wix.com and user.api.wix.com and not a single (broken) link to wix.com, and they will crawl http://wix.com/ anyway and decide that "the site is dead". This is a problem with their methodology.
