I'm getting tired of these dishonest "crypto is the same" arguments. It's not even close.

Banking is well regulated and monitored. There are mechanisms to protect people, rout out bad actors, and legal means to reverse transactions. Crypto is a "code is law" wild west, full of sharp edges and irreversible hacks and scams.

This is an interesting point. For better or worse, the people in the tech world aren't "loyal", and salaries are so crazy they are often looking to leverage their experience into a new position as soon as possible. How do you train people up if you're nothing but a feeder trough for bigger companies?
It might be easier to think about the Hamilton function H which is basically the Energy E=T+V...but as a function of p and q. H can be converted into L=T-V using the Legendre transformation. L is what people use to proof all this stuff

Sure, if we are talking about desktop applications and we ignore the exceptions (Intellij / Minecraft).
At least for software engineering, your job ads aren't very specific. E.g. this one:

https://angel.co/company/shipamax/jobs/2198087-backend-devel...

There are a lot of compsci grads who have three years of experience as software engineers and some experience with Javascript or Typescript. If you're looking to get fewer unsuitable applications, I'd recommend fleshing the JD out a bit. As it stands probably the majority of software engineers in London are 'qualified' according to the criteria in the ad.
The reason for all these modes is that they depend on having sensors working. For instance ideally you have the angle-of-attack vanes working and airspeed sensors working and with that you can guarantee that the plane is not going to stall.

If you don't have those sensors the control system can offer less certainty and less amenity.

A similar situation exists with the engine control unit in an automobile which uses the oxygen sensor to know it is injecting just the right amount of fuel into the cylinders but won't leave you stranded if the sensor fails.
Here is a comparison of this test with an older video:

https://twitter.com/TaylorOgan/status/1478802681141645322 (This is January 5th 2022)

Same author, same test, months later:

https://twitter.com/TaylorOgan/status/1556991029814886404 (This is August 9th 2022)

The difference? There is absolutely no improvement.

Expecting that the FSD (Fools Self Driving) beta software would get better over time as promised by Elon, this video shows that it doesn't look good at all with this latest failure which drivers on the road, and even pedestrians were no better off and are no safer with these updates.

It is not early days anymore and even with these updates, it is still an unsafe contraption which not only has been falsely and deceptively advertised by Tesla, it is not even near the claims of the robo-taxi level of FSD (Level 4 - 5) with the number of price increases over the years with a product which doesn't work looks more like a scam.

At this point, FSD is essentially Fools Self Driving.
If you mean anything other than iOS apps, sure. But for this latter case, there’s no real alternative. An iOS app in Zig or Rust is in an extremely small niche.
I think you have a bit of a point though you know very well that most people will never voluntarily choose your lifestyle and you make some contentious statements. However - we do have the largest population of humans ever, often located in dense cities and we've covered our Earth in concrete and asphalt to an extent such that its mass (since 2020) now exceeds the total biomass on Earth including ourselves (our bodies). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-3010-5.

Our attention to the problems of providing appropriate infrastructure to support this desired expansion is evidently very patchy. That's certainly true for instance with the issue of the water shortage in the UK which is certainly a political failure.

In view of the above why do we expect the environment to adjust itself with a view to our best interests and why are we shocked when it doesn't?
Maybe we will see some proper differentiation where mentorships comes with perks to offset having to lead people in person.

Well its a bit of an issue with escape analysis to know for sure that something is or isn't called before the handler returns. Imagine a scenario where multiple threads get involved. That would be a lot to track.

I don't think its a great pattern but just speaking hypothetically, if you ensure that only valid Response instances exist (because you organized the constructors to only make valid instances and nulls are invalid) you can force the user to return a valid instance.
I guess both JavaScript and Python reinvented themselves through gradual typing. It makes Python quite a different language and JavaScript literally a different language.

My most recent small (1k LoC) Python project is “fully typed” and therefore practically type safe (not strictly speaking though). Lots of the large libraries are typed as well, which is important.

For Python, work around the GIL might be the next evolutionary step, that time in the name of performance.
Fun story, I left my unity game running a test in editor over night, accidentally. When I came back in the morning, my harddrive was full. The reason? Unity logging the same telemetry error over and over because it was not allowed to phone home.

Isn't that the sort of question a non-conscious entity would ask?

Key collisions are of course a problem. This is a quick and dirty implementation. If you care about checking for collisions, you could instead have:

typedef struct{ char* k; char* v; } KV;
int L = <table length>; // Large enough to reduce collisions
KV* t = (KV*)malloc(L * sizeof(KV));
memset(t, 0, L * sizeof(KV)); // Set it all to empty by default

Then:

/* Put example (detect collisions) */
char* k;
if(t[H(k) % L] == NULL || strcmp(t[H(k) % L].k, k) == 0)
t[H(k) % L] = "value string";
else
printf("Collision\n"); // Handle as you like

Of course this can get more and more advanced. The point wasn't to make a zero-collision table, it was just something that could be used quickly.
Did somebody forbade you? This is not about exercize goals in abstract, and nobody forbids you to "set your own goals". This is in the context of what makes sense as a primary goal for exercizing.
I glanced at last year's, it looks like a pretty practical scavenger hunt with multiple steps and increasing difficulty. Pretty cool reading what goes into an exploit that would give someone a shell.
It's against a merchant's credit card agreement to charge different prices for credit cards vs. non-credit cards. A few small merchants will offer "cash discounts" as a way to get around this but it's not common.

I get cash back from my credit card. This is partially paid by the merchant fees. So one way to look at it is that I'm getting a discount at every merchant by using my credit card. Anyone not using a credit card is not getting that discount.
I believe this is the vulnerability reported to Twitter which awarded $5000 from its bug bounty program.

One point in favour of that theory is he has billions of dollars in bitcoin and has never attempted to spend any of it. Or maybe has lost the keys.
++ Both great links. I've been aware of and impressed by Hawkins' book(s) for years, but now that I am reading Surfing Uncertainty I am blown away by how developed research supporting a predictive brain model appears. Perhaps I missed something, but in Hawkins' more recent Thousand Brains I do not remember him giving prominent notice to Surfing Uncertainty and related research, which would be a great disservice.
It doesn’t. Messages fallback to SMS when I talk to my parents or friends who don’t have an iPhone and… it works. I can send text, photos, etc. and it works. Some accusations are ridiculous, like how white on green is somehow illegible compared to white on blue? Come on.

Actually, console.print was a later addition - when I started looking at Javascript, you could only do alerts, or you could call "status" to display something in the lower part of the frame. And if you accidentally alert()-ed inside a loop...

Still, I can't comprehend how you could develop anything in Javascript with just console.print either. You have my respect and admiration.

AMD processors provide PCIe lanes, some of which are intended for use with NVMe SSDs but nothing on the chip actually implements or understands NVMe and the lanes used for the SSD in a typical system design are still fully generic PCIe lanes.

This is true and hard to communicate to people that haven't lived it.
I think it's just a spelling variation. "Ae" or "æ" does show up in English words sometimes, but a lot of times it gets simplified to "e" (probably closer to the pronunciation).

Examples: "aeon"/"eon", "caesium"/"cesium", "paediatrician"/"pediatrician", "anaesthesia"/"anesthesia", "haemoglobin"/"hemoglobin", and "chimaera"/"chimera". And more debatably, "daemon"/"demon" and "aeroplane"/"airplane".

Generally, British spellings are more likely to have "ae" and American spellings are more likely to have "e".

But it only gets dropped in some words. You never see "erobic exercise", "erospace engineering", "erosol spray", or a conductor being called "mestro".

Its not that it tries but fails, it doesnt even attempt to. Same goes for animals (deer running across etc) or debris on the road. FSD is only programmed to detect other cars and road markings. It doesnt even detect physical road boundaries and will happily drive into the ditch/concrete pillar if road markings tell it to.
Not from a sanctioned entity. Banks block transactions to and from those.
That's an interesting example, as brake pads are not expensive, and you can view the wear easily. Perhaps it's a signal to them: if they can get away with this, they can get away with more expensive "repairs".

Depends on skill set. A lot of people suggest projects, conferences, etc but I don't think anything like that works at scale.

From my seat as a staff-level and involved in hiring:

1. The average "junior" is really a code camp graduate with skill in one very, very specific thing. The skill is limited however and typically insufficient to call them a full software engineer.

2. From (1) the pool of code camp graduates dramatically outpaces people with degrees. In my experience approximately 1 in 5 people I've interviewed have graduated a full program. This creates a few problems. Namely, the low-skilled pool is significantly higher which allows companies to be far more choosy. Additionally, the majority of software engineering roles these days are "wide" meaning you may be expected to do work that requires more than the formulaic approach a code camp gives you.

3. Degreed hires are still being considered and generally speaking aren't having any problem getting jobs. Not only is a degree a value signal it generally speaks to your ability to adapt. While the industry has been slamming degrees as not necessary the variance is significantly higher with non-degreed hires.

This all sounds like I am trash talking code camps and I guess in a way I am. My interviewing has given me this opinion. Despite specifically avoiding algorithmic puzzles people graduating these camps are just typically insufficient. I feel bad for them because code camps generally feel like the modern take on ITT and other for-profit scams from a decade or more ago. A lot of these people simply want the money. Understandable. However, it's simply not enough to get your foot in the door without help from the inside.

All of this adds up to the general consensus that hiring is getting harder. The code camp pool is taking the brunt of the lack of hiring, the code camp pool is large, so the noise they make about the hiring situation is proportional to their experience. As for senior devs this is largely a good thing going into a potential recession. However, getting promoted above that position may get more difficult.
Turing, u here?
OP's point is that in Bitcoin there are coins (unspent transaction outputs) that are associated with an address but the receiver can leave them untouched. He can continue and ignore the tained coins from Tornado.

In Ethereum you don't have coins that get associated with an address, the balance of that address increases so in a way that mixes the "coins" with the rest of the "coins" for that address and so the receiver can't put them aside.

Put another way: in Bitcoin you can refuse accepting coins by ignoring them. In Ethereum you can't refuse the funds that someone sends you.

So now that you have funds from a sanctioned entity in your wallet what do you do? One solution would be to send an equal amount to a burn address to show that you never wanted these but it has two problems: it requires one to actively monitor the wallet and know what incoming funds are from some sanctioned entity AND requires you to spend money on a transaction you never wanted to do in the first place. And what if it's a cold wallet. It's a really messy situation.
It's easy to handle dust transactions. There are many ways of going about it, such as disregarding transactions that have certain parameters. Binance's wallets are not threatened by this.
I recall trying to explain how hard drives worked to a guy who didn’t believe me, it was weird because he had aspirations of being a hacker some day. He got really mad “math is math” style when we explained they are analog rounded to binary and that’s why disk erasers exist and take so long (and this was before they got really paranoid).

Then people kept wandering up and agreeing with me and by the end it was practically an intervention.

its beeter to develop Marshall like plans for the affected areas (MENA + WESTERN AFRICA); them will generate stability,jobs,commerce and returns for investors. the problem is local political leadership which will want "tailored kickbacks" even at their countries stake (or will cry to go on China lap). but Necessity like the "green wall" could create an example to wich plan future project and garner support at alls levels. Btw Europe doesnt need migrants, its mostly overpopulated and economies are more about outputs than unskilled workforce. Paying pensions will be a problem, solvable with bankruptcies that could maybe cure the fetish for welfare socialism of PIGS+France. nations cant absorb generally speaking more than a low percentage of immigrants/settlers before creating problems/attritions.

Lets give people a prize for reading the comments in a story about why you shouldn't read the comments.

Dan Grossman wrote hnreplies which will notify you via email that you have a reply to a comment https://www.hnreplies.com/ with a link directly to the reply in question.

Personally I like to enjoy both the articles and the comments and I often find value in each but lets be real I don't care about the optimal use of time because time spent on hacker news is inherently down time and entertainment. It's not goal oriented in the first place and it doesn't NEED to be optimized.
Please read about I/O, memory and cache hierarchy. If you access a hot row, 10,000 times in a minute, that would be 10k fopens() / fcntl() / fclose() calls. Benchmark that in a C program and also benchmark pre-allocated memory page access with a cache in a loop 10k times.

That is just reads.

If you include writes + transaction logs + join queries etc., individual files become unwieldy very soon.
I totally get it - especially because recurring topics come up.

The principle we're going for is good conversation. If you sense into what would make sense in a good in-person conversation, that's probably about right. Even when it's natural for the same material to come up in a series of conversations over time, people don't repeat identical boilerplate to each other; that would be weird.

Quotes are a special case because by definition one is repeating them rather than generating them.

Really like their concept of assets and compute.

Defining the desired results of your pipeline, the transforms that create those assets, and then letting Dagster build/materialize those results.

I’ve spent a lot of time in other tools restarting jobs, asking questions like “did that job run?” and “is this using the latest stats output?”

Dagster’s UI of “this data pipeline is current as of 12:30” gives the answers our product team needs without pain.

And for the same reason the branch compute makes a lot of sense. “The output with the updated algorithm is Y” makes a lot more sense than having a separate experiment pipeline

This seems very suss.

> In several tests, a professional test driver found that the software – released in June – failed to detect the child-sized figure at an average speed of 25mph.

The car was 40mph when put into self drive mode, so the car was slowing itself down even though the mannequin, which looks like a cone to my eyes, wasn't moving.

Are these people legit but counterproductive to their claimed goals or entirely bogus?

Also addictive; it's more exciting to read through the comments because of that chance of striking gold.

Partway through an article, I tend to get bored and start skimming (or just stop reading) because I already have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to find in the rest of the piece.

With comments, I never know what I'm going to find next, so I keep reading just in case I hit something good. Even really bad comments way down at the bottom can have good responses.

I wish I didn't read in such an endorphin-seeking way, but functionally this is how it goes for me unless I put in a lot of deliberate effort to do otherwise.

I like reading HN more than Reddit because the low bar for content is a lot higher. I don't encounter as much noxious waste in my search for the gold.
