I mean stuff is either interesting for someone or it's not. Money is not relevant to being interested by something.

I think people want to convince themselves that they're interested in high paying jobs such as those at Jane Street because that would make their lifes much easier (they could go work there and make lots of money). Similarly, some women try to convince themselves that they love this well-off, solid guy who's courting them - marrying such guy would make their lives much easier and nicer.

The website you linked as I said includes capital and pretax income which is an absurd way to measure “income.” That includes stocks, 401K, houses, etc. if someone owned a house, the value went up, but if someone didn’t own a house their actual wages are still worth only about the same as 3 years ago.
There are some definitional challenges here for sure - when is something a thing, rather than a collection of things?

The average price of a decent 3 bedroom home within 30 minutes of Palo Alto probably IS enough to retire on (modestly) as an individual if you move to a cheaper state. Few Americans have several million dollars in retirement savings.

Even for most engineers, somewhere between five and ten million is enough to retire on (3.5% safe withdrawal rate) at a nice standard of living, again assuming you don't want to live in the bay area, NYC, Seattle or LA.

In counterfactual regret minimization and in reinforcement learning this shows up too. The solution there tends to discount early iterations with something like a weighted average. It makes convergence to the true values happen faster.

A similar thing happens in k mean clustering but is more horrifying because you can get arbitrary wrong solutions rather than just taking longer to converge. The solution there is to construct a sampling distribution when making your initial decision - instead of making a decision according to the principle of indifference to instead make a decision after getting more informed about the problem. This doesn't mean you don't have bad solutions, but it gives a bounding on just how bad those solutions can be.

It happens in other places too, I'm sure, because this isn't really a software problem - this is a fundamental problem. Uniformed choices are uninformed but influence the choices that come after them.

Certain heuristics like delaying your decision to the last responsible moment can help to avoid making your decisions with insufficient information, but it is important to realize the type of decision you are making. Are you in a case where getting things wrong just means you go slower but eventually converge? Or at you in a case where you can't reverse course and will have your outcomes determined by the decision you make without any guarantee that it will turn out well and no simple path backward. I hear people talk about this with terms like "one way doors" versus "two way doors". In the latter case you are much better off thinking more deeply through the problem.

We're not really solving new fundamental problems. We're solving fundamental problems in a new context.

I did some research on

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_triggered_architectu...

which is an approach to CPU design that puts specialized CPU design in the reach of quite a few people (say on an FPGA) but the main weakness of it is that it is not smart at all about fetching. Although it is not hard at all to make that kind of CPU N-wide you are certainly going to have all N lines wait for a fetch.

Seems to me though that that kind of system could be built with a custom fetcher that would let you work around some of the challenges.
This still doesn’t work well as a logo IMO, no amount the sharpening. It probably needs to get redrawn with a proper vector editor, the lines cleaned up and colors simplified

Elixir also opens you up to the entire erlang and Beam ecosystems. Not as common as Java, I know, but still decades of knowledge and tooling around it cutting across many industries.
That dangerous quadrant has a track record of chewing up and spitting out "proven experts". I'd put your question in the same class of question as "Look, I know memory management in C is just dangerous, but do we have to make everything dumb to make it safe?" False dichotomy; the solution to everything isn't to "make it dumb", but the proven experts have a long track record of being chewed up and spit out and the answer isn't to tell them to just Git Gud either. We tried that. We tried that a lot. It doesn't work.

The solutions to concurrency pretty much all involve staying out that quadrant as much as possible. Immutability isn't the only solution. Another is to confine all variables to one thread. Erlang, for instance, superficially uses immutability to achieve this, but a deeper reason it achieves it is that there is simply no way for a "thread" (what Erlang calls "process") to modify a variable that another thread can see; this is sufficient. (See what Elixir does.) Rust implements a super-rich system of variable ownership that allows you to implement the constraint that no variable can be unexpectedly just modified by an arbitrary thread in a far richer fashion than just hard-locking all memory to a particular owner thread. This is also sufficient. I program a lot in Go, and while it lacks compiler support for forcing you to stay out of that quadrant, my code runs at high concurrency rates precisely because I've learned how to stay out of there, and my code looks very Erlang-ish when you look at the concurrency patterns in play.
And yet, is a more valuable company.

That's how it works now – you can book as many time slots as you need for your tasks. From my personal experience tasks take more than a single slot quite often.

This curmudgeonly critic of hard science fiction finds the topic fascinating. Now that earth sciences are getting their due in hard scifi, readers expect the same scientific accuracy depicting biological evolution they've come to expect with physics-based plot elements.

Doesn't the sample size for this have to be very large for it to make a difference? Genuine question.
They lack freedoms and objective power according to your perception. At the same time women who don't need to care about making income in consumerist world can focus on family and local community. Which, coincidentally, gives a lot of power on raising the next generation.

Looking from a different background, postmodernist „freedoms and objective power“ seem very narrow definition that skips a lot of nuances. Individualist postmodernism needs some diversity of thought in this area.

P.S. It makes my brain freeze that killing fetus is „healthcare they need“. The new baby needs healthcare as well. For the record, I'm not against abortion per se because sometimes it is the lesser evil. But calling it „healthcare“ sounds batshit insane to me.

Now, appearing globally weak & ineffective at controlling the economy, the democrats step up. I wouldn't be surprised if this idea was proposed by the CCP.

What better way to give the appearance of strength to the democrats in the run-up to the midterms? Grandstand in front of China on behalf of "democracy". Note that Pelosi does not say "freedom".

The Chinese would far prefer to extend the governance of the US by the Democratic party. They could in no way effect as much disaster upon us through their own actions

Stress will kill you no matter what your profession. Physical exercise can save your life. I nearly died on one IT job, and nearly killed myself on another. I became an investor to escape the pressure to undertake such positions, and now only do things I enjoy. Enough action for flow, not enough for excessive stress - and do physically challenging recreations.

You say things like that to set a mood in the workforce. The desired mood here is fear, to provoke pliancy. If people are worried about their jobs, they are less likely to whine about other things and keep their heads down when axes start swinging.

I'm running a Twitter bot that tweets out sunrise/sunset timelapses, and also does on-device object detection and classification to tweet out helicopters that fly by the field of view.

https://twitter.com/dcskycam/with_replies

It's a Pi 4B with the HQ Cam (6mm lens). The ML models are trained on my MBP, converted to tflite, and run on the pi itself.

The main use case is the timelapses, but after seeing that that most of the helicopters that flew by weren't transmitting ADSB, I figured I could help out the @helicoptersofdc crowdsourcing project (run by someone else) by contributing heli spots in an automated manner that might otherwise go unreported.

No, I call out double standards and moral preening. I know you're the mod and I don't give a damn if you think it's "ideological" to expect fair play and if that's the case, fuck this site. So if you ban me, I'd presume it's based on your belief in "moral supremacy" which trumps actual, basic logic that non-college educated people can follow.

I know you're better than that, so perhaps call out that the poster that I am disagreeing with on setting a vague honeypot reeking of contempt for those who dare to talk back.

Edit: i still have a positive vote count, so democracy says I'm correct, right? Unless you decide to redefine "correct" in which case I declare you're against democracy.

Context matters. We were speaking in the the context of financial services. In that context, the past decade has been shooting fish in a barrel. You had to be an idiot to lose money with how index funds performed.

Point me to three funds that have maintained greater than 20% YoY profits for more than 20 years. I would be floored if you could do it. Apple, arguably the best and most profitable business in the world, manages between 20-30% YoY profit. They're the largest contributor to world financial markets rather than operating only on derivatives. I can not imagine a world in which the largest trading firms can outperform that without fraud of some kind. In my mind, it's like gravity. Little rocks rotate around bigger rocks.
They are just paving the way for a reduction in force.

Cool, facts. Let's keep going.

Right now, the contract is one way and there is no way to withdraw. The code hasn't been developed yet. The ETH or "ETH" or whatever, are secure because there literally cannot be insecurity without some code to break.

Heck, even "The Merge" doesn't enable withdraw... it is scheduled for some time after (still to be decided and coded... more potential security issues) and is of course a slow trickle too (first people who can withdraw win the short market). That 10% is about as secure as you can possibly be in that it is effectively burned at this point and will require yet another hard fork to unburn it.

Let's go back to the premise of my original comment:

PoS is a lot more complicated than PoW and offers a much wider attack surface.

Any large mistake in the code that causes financial loss is going to go down a huge rabbit hole of how to manage consensus around fork choices and will likely have at least a short term devastating effect on the market.

I want to see PoS succeed, but as a 20+ year developer, I'm very skeptical it will go off without a hitch.

> The conflict is probably inevitable anyway. Appeasing the Chinese Communist Party by acquiescing to their demands won't bring us peace in the long run.

Sure it would, but peace was never the goal of the US empire.

I wish it was against the HN rules to advocate for public policies that wouldn't be acceptable on HN. For example, if I called you a stupid moron, an amoral cretin who should be thrown in a cell and left to die, dang might have a problem with that. And yet your equivalent suggested policy will pass without concern.

Thanks for linking this. I was interested in how it worked but I didn't know enough elixir to get around the codebase by myself. This entry point is very informative for how they managed to do it.

I just looked at the macOS part, but the tl;dr for that is they seem to have compiled the elixir program into a binary and wrote enough swift to manage the lifecycle of the elixir program and signed it and notarized it and prepared it for shipment using CLI via shell! invocations. I didn't look at the windows way of doing things but I imagine it's similar.
If you are in a .... contest, I use Linux for exactly 25 years, and I always use the newest software I can get my hands on, in some cases even beta (like with mesa or some intel drivers) - in the last 15 years it is Debian - combination of testing/unstable (some packages from unstable) and a lot of self compiled ones for those that don't exist in Debian at all or have old versions (even in unstable). Had one case the the update broke my system, it was fixed few days later (after a weekend) - I probably don't update that often (when I remember to do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade) to get more frequent breakages or don't use that much of software.

If I knew about Arch earlier I would have switched, because it sounds like my kind of distro - but I have to much customizations and too much kids to have time for that right now.

I never quite get why people want they development environment be similar to production - you install IDE on production? Or you just code in vim/emacs/ed without any plugins (because production doesn't need it)?

I've worked with thousands of open tabs for many years now. (I'm not defending my habits to anyone - this is how I prefer to work, and it is not negotiable.)

AFAIK, this many tabs is only possible with Firefox. In the main window (of five) that I'm typing this in, the OpenTabs extension reports that I have 2260 tabs. The other four windows have anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred tabs. My max was around 5000 tabs, but that was back before Firefox Quantum.

And yeah, I really miss TabMixPlus, and want a better way to scroll through multiple tab rows. (I currently use a hack to Firefox's chrome file, but it's still a little clunky, and that method doesn't properly support things like dragging tabs to reorder them, etc.) The Moz team gutted the tab history APIs when they killed off XUL which is why TMP has never been rewritten - it really can't be...

Ah thankyou, it was so neat and automatic that I missed the punchline. It looks like you'll always calculate f and f' together and it's not possible to calculate only f' though? Seems like this could waste time in some applications?

I can see how this is the solution to the problem of calculating the numerical derivative of a known function composed of finite combinations of rational functions and a set of specified functions, elementary or special. I don't see how it's relevant to solving ODEs numerically though, given that in that case you don't know the functional form of f or f'
