Problem is, there is no decent AMD card (and I will not touch nvidia for linux) with decent number of outputs for that use-case (in my opinion).

The cheapest ones are like 8 years old and out of support and still costs like $250, comes with a fan and still doesn't have decent outputs. And also takes a lot of PCI-E slots. A dual graphics card system means you barely have expandability options left after you have the hardware required to boot. And that ~one PCI-E slot still visible might be disabled if you decide to use another NVME-drive.

The amount of research required to pull it off is insane.

This is my biggest hope for Intel/ARC. A low powered card with decent number of outputs for a fair price and decent linux support.
The whole point of Soho house was to be a place for people working in creative industries. Now that everyone can get in, they’re just boring restaurants with mediocre-at-best food.
It's really amazing! Can't imagine how's the music and vocals are in perfect sync. And the images are pretty cool.
The real difference though is American cities blossomed with the same arc automobile came into fruition.

I just recently got back from Germany and the primary thing I noticed about their public transportation infrastructure is that most of it is using right of ways that have been in place for… hundreds of years.

Driving in America is an unfortunate necessity in the vast majority of places (The minority being the oldest coastal cities) and that annoys me greatly, but it’s the reality of it.

I do choose to live downtown so I can walk or bike. But those are my options :/

So essentially, the best investment one can make is to be rich, so they can afford having hired help to solve basic day to day problems that regular people must deal with on their own.

That's because if you are a statistically average person paying half their income on housing, another quarter on basic necessities, and saving another 10%, you can't really afford to spend almost your entire disposable income paying 3 hours of wages + taxes for another average employee, every week.

Sort-of like the stereotypical upper-middle-rich-white lamentations that "these days you can no longer find any good babysitter/cook/help/valet", as if living a life of privilege is a birth right.

The tone and content of this thread is quite a trip into the the entitlement culture of contemporary techies.

Because streaming makes money. In almost every industry, two big players make most of the money and the others divide the rest between them. In streaming, Netflix is a biggie. If MS owned them and cut the costs (and, hopefully, changed the content), it could be bigger. It's a theory anyway.

Can you explain this last sentence (which I understand to be insulting and without basis):
> Howard is great with one problem: he kinda hates math. It might also seem that he ends up promoting anti-intellectualism.
Simple, Credible Certification
That over-simplifies what the linked article says, plus there are things like blocked bloom filters and other tricks to speed things up.

Plus if he's allocating 128MB, well, just do it as a direct array 1 bit per IP4 address (which can be optimised to remove a few special blocks I guess) and skip any hashing.
Excel can do SQL as well, and it actually has abstracted data connectors capable of much more than just SQL and you can easily provide your own connectors too, and much more than just connectors - Excel is used e.g. as a full-fledged trading station at some places. It's capabilities like these why Excel runs the world, it's not some accident of history. You don't need to do stuff like this all the time, but it makes no sense to use two office suites, so you use the more capable one.
Not him nor will I talk about his course, but I’ve been in the field a reasonable amount of time (both on the academia and industry side). Honestly, applied maths will get you a long way and make it easier to digest the concepts (you might just see them as repackaged problems depending on your mileage). If you have good programming skills and discipline you practically have most of what you need.

Re the course, I just skimmed it and I think you can do most things on your own hardware but if you will actually use this for something practical (not just for you or a side project), being familiar with cloud tools is a big thing especially once you scale.
Input, Output Unionnions. basically a input struct into a algorith, layed out in such a way, that the algorithms output, always only overwrites input no longer needed. If done well, this allows for hot-loops that basically go over one array for read & write-backs. After all, its all just memory and to use what you got in situ is the fastet way one can go.

No pointers to dereference and wait, just the input, computated, stored back into the same cacheline- to be used for the next part of the hot loop.
If the hot-loop is multi staged and the output continously decreases in size, one can even "compress" the data, by packing an array of orgMaxisze/outputSize subunits into the unit.
I was disappointed the author didn’t have the guts to name them.

I would hope he could get some satisfaction in knowing that he might be able to stop them from taking advantage of clients in the future.
Depending on the individual, this may not be safe (speaking from personal experience): https://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/news/20170321/autism-grea...
Lying about the risks is lying, regardless of what ends you think will justify the means.

But even if you disagree, let’s talk about your claim that categorizing into two groups is stupid. Think from the citizen’s perspective of the CDC. The question is, “Do I trust them enough to take health advice from them?” If they have lied to you too many times about things that are important enough, the answer is no way. I never implied all that this lying group said was lies. Obviously one lie wipes out thousands of truths. Trust is gone. Listening stops.

This would be first red flag for me. If someone from the getgo positions himself as doing you a favour, switch - it is not going to get better. At best its uncontrolled ego problem, at worst its a scheme to dry you up.
Ask HN: Do you maintain a list of RSS links of GOAT blogs?
I just started using a RSS reader and i am liking it. I would like to add diverse and good blogs to the list. Do you maintain a list of RSS links of the GOAT blogs? If you do can you please share?

I am mainly looking for blogs related to programming, tech, philosophy and finance.

This is my current list

3+ HOV lanes aren’t oriented at families, it’s just coincidence that two parents and one kid reach that threshold. Where I live 2+ carpools are the norm which are great when I’m out with my son.

But no, no one designed carpools to make families safer.
AI always surprise us. This kind of model will completely change the Entertainment Industry.
Screw you both.

As a person in the world who has done PNLs for pretty large companies (in excel) which constituted 30GB of working memory to open.

No, that is not why Excel runs the world.

Those capabilities are not used even slightly in the companies I’ve worked at.
I stand corrected but also want to note that I've seen many car models do this.
Consider a video, video game, or VR experience of running water. If it's that faucet in particular take an especially high resolution video that can be played on a large screen.

Also see if maybe your child is interested in digging deeper into this interest. Books and videos on fluid dynamics are extremely complex and sprawl out into other areas of physics.
That’s usually called “toll by plate” not EZ Pass.
What about some kind of fountain with a motorized pump that recycles the water?
Funny, I'm using them right now, and the entire office around me too.

>> If your body of knowledge is a list of unconnected phenomena rather than a theoretical framework, you lose the ability to filter experimental results by whether they are surprising and represent a departure from theory.

Sorry to make everything about AI and machine learning, but for a moment there, I thought this was precisely about AI and machine learning.
One needs a theory of mechanism to develop an intervention i.e. "new drug". The simpler the better.

But given the tremendous complexities involved in biological systems one has to be very careful with the data.
Quite frankly most in the field are not sufficiently trained or aren't rigorous enough in dealing with uncertainties and I wouldn't blame them it's mind-boggling and paralysing.

This of course can be exploited given the incentives stated above combined with the public's unawareness of e.g. statistical significance vs clinical significance etc., with the myriad mathematically correct ways of presenting data, and a handwaving attitude about reproducibility, this really opens up the floodgates for someone in a lab to become "creative", an entrepreneur.
Which of course should be highly discouraged in the context of scientific research and in order to relieve some pressure the community once in a while condemn the most daring of examples without imhv looking too deep into the entrenched mechanisms enabling this.

A PhD student (biomedicine) once jokingly told me about the old HeLa contamination "problem"[0] in labs experimenting with cells. I must have reacted shocked as he laughingly added: Well, that was quite a long time ago, the problems now, only compounded.

So, in order to get the full picture it is "healthy" to zoom out and look at the other side of the spectrum i.e. longitudinal studies (with its own sets of limitations). One impressive one relating to Alzheimer's is the famous nun study[1].

You say that as if the only measure of a government is the net number of lives saved at the end of that government. I would argue that's largely irrelevant.

Whether extremely strict lockdowns like those seen in China and Singapore save lives or not is completely irrelevant as they are wrong, at the most basic level. Whether other countries went too far or didn't go far enough can be debated, but having police lock people inside their own homes isn't really something you can argue that good government does.
That's actually really clever and IMO should be built into homes by default; there's so much water being wasted by heating up potable water and just letting it drain out. And most people aren't THAT dirty anyway. If this filters out soap and the like before it goes into the sewers that's probably also a good thing.
Those days eastern eggs were replaced with backdoors.
I can’t remember git commands either. I simply add them to my git config. So I type “git uncommit” and get the behaviour I need. For example:

git config --global alias.uncommit 'reset --soft HEAD^'
There's a talk by one of the developers of Crash Bandicoot of all the hacky (and brilliant) things they had to do to get the game to load quickly off the (2X?) CD-ROM into the very limited RAM of the Playstation 1.

Interesting. Took me 20 minutes to fire up an installation of 50 machines in a company in 2012.

Those machines ran without fault for multiple years until I had to add some additional support for caching the NFS mounts because we had added so many clients after the initial installation that we were overloading our NAS.

No hardware errors for sure. But these were desktops (not of uniform origin).

Windows machines on the other hand were a bit more painful, every single one had to be hand enrolled to the sambav4 “AD” (we didn’t have AD) and the instructions never worked the same way twice.

So annoying.

Sounds like great progress. Friendly reminder to also train the back side of your body too. Otherwise, the office work and the pull ups will pull your shoulders forward which can cause problems in the long-run. Given that you got so far with the push ups, I’m sure you can also find a way to do some back work
This is exactly why a large portion of the population is not wrong to doubt the official narrative.

Science shouldn't even be engaged in trying to save as many lives as possible. Science should only be concerned with discovering and disseminating the truth as it is.

Observability startup Better Stack lands $18.6M in new cash
Show HN: Terrabook – Replit for Infrastructure
Hi HN, one of the founders here. We were thinking hard on what would lower the entry barrier / smoothen the learning curve for infrastructure. It's got to be easy to build so something visual probably; and it's got to be "real" so perhaps some kind of infra-as-code underneath. We experimented a lot with the low-code angle (the most recent OpsFlow which we got tons of feedback on from HN - thank you!!)

And then it hit us. With python, there's a huge difference in ease of use between a Jupyter notebook and locally run python code, even though the code is the same. So we don't even need to hide the code, as long as it is easy to write. Replit demonstrates the same concept even more vividly; but we thought we'd borrow the blocks idea from Jupyter / Google Colab.

This is how Terrabook came to be - just blocks of Terraform really. The key thing is that they are pre-filled, and you can write whatever you want.

a. Mix and match pre built terraform.
b. Modify pre built blocks to create your own custom terraform
c. Deploy to AWS in one click.

We also added templates for frontend, backend & databases - so you just click a button and get a working piece.

HN has been a constant source of constructive feedback for us, and we would be extremely grateful for insight on how you feel TerraBook is. Feel free to drop your harshest feedback in the comments below!
I mean this is probably true for all exchanges, also for the traditional stock market; it's the financial incentive they have on top of the regular commissions they charge.

The person in question was sloppy, and as others said, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Create linked S-R flashcards while watching YouTube, Coursera, and Udemy
iDoRecall enables you to create linked spaced-repetition flashcards called "recalls." When you practice memory retrieval, if you struggle with the answer, click to see the source at the exact, relevant location. YouTube, Coursera, or Udemy will open in a new browser tab at the linked time code if the source is a video. If it's a webpage, the page will open and scroll to the linked highlighted text or area of interest. You can also link to text and regions of interest in your .docx, .pptx, .pdf, .png, and .jpeg files. You can even link to your Kindle highlights, and clicking to see the source will open the Kindle desktop app to the location of the highlight in the book.
At some point, the little pieces need to be assembled, reviewed and finally rendered. Why wouldn't you do that with the DCC application rather than with specialized, limited tools?
There's a good chance that the sensory experience of feeling the water coming out of the faucet is a pretty key part of the experience for the autistic kid, so virtual experiences might not work.

My own desktop also works like a charm with Linux, but that changes nothing about the problems I encountered at the school.

Yeah I can imagine that not having AD makes things more complicated, but once you have it, it works very well on Windows.

Not being able to reliably connect to AD was one of the failures I had with this classroom.
The UK has a formal class system that's actually encoded in law (peerages, knights, royal family, etc.) France got rid of all that.
old.reddit.com links help immensely for anyone who isn't logged in, and/or doesn't have an account.
Not sure if this would be the most cost effective solution but maybe some pc water cooling parts, with clear tubing it would also allow them to see it flowing through the system. With quick release systems they might (age dependent) be able to re-arrange the system to experiment with different systems and flows.

Difficulty would be keeping it safe with regards to electric.
Thanks Jeremy, I'll give it another go.

Good thing, what the hell does that mean? Good for what purpose?

Obviously they don't deny it because it's true, that's not my point. My point is that even being true, their first concern could be their customers, but it's not because they're scumbags.
Nurse (and respiratory care, and physical/occupational therapy, and everyone else):patient ratios. 1:4 is usual; 1:6 is rough, 1:8 is almost undoable. Low-complexity patients ease the per-patient workload, allowing the same number of nurses to cover more patients. In ICU/ITU, typical nursing ratio is 1:2, but some flexed to 1:3 and even 1:4, which is getting into danger territory.

Many hospitals in the US closed wards during COVID because they didn't have the staff, not because they physically lacked space.
Another problem with hard links: you can not hard link a directory. It would make ".." ambiguous.

Also with hard link directories, you would want to be able "rmdir" non-empty directories, just to delete the link. But then you have the problem of reference loops, so how do you reclaim space reliably? You would need a garbage collection algorithm to find data not reachable by root.
Thanks for the info. I'm not printing much yet (Few grams of filament a day) but 3D printing doesn't smell good, in any sense.

Luckily I'm using PLA for printing, but I do plan to take the printer out to the balcony once I start printing "big" pieces.
mostly for technical reasons as we felt [..]

Are you sure that's a technical reason?
Thank you for yet another detailed reply.

Reading the linked article all I could think was: Hertz doesn’t deserve to exist. It just seems like they’re a Frankenstein of 30 years of mediocre to poor decisions.

Ultimately I think a lot of companies that use Accenture don’t deserve to exist, and ultimately will be outcompeted.
We've build a house last year in CH. I've asked the architect if he can dig one part of the cellar just 1.50m deeper. So I have a cellar with a 380cm ceiling height. It is now a fully equipped Crossfit gym. Even better than my local CF "box". Saves so much time. Also following an online programming.
But still once a week I hit the local box just to catch up and socialize with others.
A water table with a pump system might be an option if you have some outdoor space, or an area where the floor can get wet

Maybe also going out to different water attractions if thats palatable. Public spray parks may be a good option for some variation. Possibly streams, ponds or beaches.
Our ISP caps data based on traffic used. Their method of figuring that consistently overestimates that traffic by a factor of 3x to 5x by my numbers. We get throttled after 3 or 4 days of unrestricted traffic, every month; then a whole host of sites stop working. Some wont send data to connections that slow (DDoS mitigation) and some sites just get stomped by the injection of a "you need to buy more data now) page into random urls, several times a day.

But I could pay them an extra $10/GB (their definition of "GB") to have better connectivity.
It’s a really unfortunate set of circumstances that you need to run a Microsoft product for authentication in order to have a reasonable experience with the Microsoft operating system.

Especially because that Microsoft product (AD) is usually the hardest thing to integrate with from other operating systems; and is contingent on owning all user accounts (and usually means you have to use their email systems and file sharing systems).

Quite a lot of lock-in for a base level of user experience.

But I guess that’s OK if you are a shareholder. :)
>it sounds like a very strange decision to me. I suppose it could have been a form of pre-emptive triage to avoid hospital overload?

Yes, it is very strange. In March 2020, we were promised a global pandemic the like of which had never been seen before, with the young and old alike dropping dead in the street. Despite it very quickly becoming apparent that this was not the case, the general response, public messaging, and state of mind for many continues as if that were true.

>would more or less require a globally coordinated lockdown

It would also require borders to be sealed shut to allcomers, which is not something that most Western countries are used to enforcing.

I have a tip for that, get a road bike to build fitness for the mtb.

Also, on a road bike you'll also go at much faster speeds, which I have found to translate to better confidence bombing down trails on my mtb.
Explain to them how it's consuming a lot of water and explain why that's a problem (plants, other animals, need water etc). Then challenge them to come up with a way to solve the problem. Autistic kids are often incredibly good at solving practical problems like that and it'll give them a better understanding of how things work.

Faucet heads that are designed for saving water often are set-up to create the "feeling" of lots of water, without actually using the same volume (water saving rain style shower heads are particularly good at this).

Something like that would probably preserve any sensory elements of the experience they enjoy and would cut the water consumption by 60-70%.
Numbers are comforting because they are "objective".

Take the law; if you drive on a nice day on an empty new highway doing 5-10 mph or Km/h over the limit and there's a speed trap, you get a pic of your car with a nice timestamp and speed and you get a ticket. You drive on a rainy day with traffic and make a couple tight passes, it would be up to a cop's judgement to ticket you for reckless driving, and it's subject to interpretation, even if the first case is "safe" and the second way less. Lots of examples with other figures that are encoded in law.

For people working in teams (thinking software teams for ex), I've been asked in interviews several times "how do you measure the team's success" or variants ("productivity" etc) and my canonical answer now is: a) metrics and numbers are OK to look at but can be deceiving, can be gamed and still need interpretation. Ultimately I look at b) are the objectives being fulfilled? (are we doing the work?) – which it's also kind of subjective because we can establish ambitious goals or sandbag – and c) are people happy?, basically asking them.
