Another way to look at IQ is as a social adequation factor.

People solving IQ problems properly understand the questions, have been exposed to the right concepts to solve them and know how to answer. These capacities aren’t pure intelligence per se, but stay a good indicator of someone’s education and if they’ll traditionally fit in our societies.

Basically, it is the perfect measure for clubs like MENSA.
I thought automatic differentiation is a little different? Will have to look again. I thought the norm for a while was to manually enter the gradient, if possible, or to use a calculated one at each step.
Yes they are and you are right about the rumble.

About thirty 30 years ago I was on a drilling rig in Louisiana with a geophone array deployed so that I could record the vibrations made by the drill bit as they drilled towards a potential reservoir near a salt dome. We were doing a salt proximity survey using the drill bit energy as the seismic source so that we could hopefully help steer the drill bit through the sediments beside the salt dome without sending it into the salt and possibly intersect the highest point of a reservoir rock at the salt/sediment interface so that production from that gas/oil saturated zone would be maximized since you are farther from the oil/water interface in the wet zone.

Anyway, drill bits 15000 ft in the subsurface are viable energy sources but are very low energy. We were about 5 miles from a train track but every time the trains came down the line you could see them coming when they were miles away from the closest point to the arrays. The energy would start off as a random background noise that steadily increased in amplitude until it swamped everything and was clipped in the sensors and then as the train passed it would steadily decrease until the train was several miles away.
Slightly related: I wrote a small converter for a couple of unsupported bank formats (like zen.com) for Xero. https://xeroconverter.com

I don't even know if anybody else ever used it, as I don't track anything at all - but most likely not.
The theorem mentioned is Nielsen-Ninomiya. A good analogy is aliasing in signal processing. It's not that you can't define a theory and compute it. It's that under certain conditions, you get more than one electron, you will get electrons that behave like electron does but they are different, and they are an artifact of the discretization.

This is similar to aliasing in signal processing. A high frequency signal behaving like low frequency. And there are solutions to this problem, but it's hard to reason which one is the "right" solution.
This might change in the future as Discord tries to recoup their VCs' investment. See GitLab for a recent example.
Fair point. Although I must admit it affects (people like?) me directly - I make it a point to always go through the comments before I read the article as a matter of habit.
> One major problem is that console manufacturers would probably need to be a part of this and I think they would rather sell 10 consoles individually than 5 for sharing.

It would certainly work better with manufacturer involvement, but you could use HDMI capture to source the video, and USB to provide the inputs, so the console doesn't know any better. There's some licensing rigamorole and content management as well. You could probably do a forced log out between users and rely on cloud saves, but that's kind of ugh... Would work better if you can trust the people you share the console(s) with.
> Documentation is limited, but Bun’s Discord is very active and a great source of knowledge.

Discord is a blackhole for information that search engines cannot index, it is not a replacement for documentation.

I hate Discord with such a bloody passion, and this is one of the biggest reasons. People think "just ask on discord" is appropriate as a means of documentation, it absolutely is not.
Notifications for incoming "calls"?

Does zoom have such a thing as an unsolicited incoming meeting/join request? You don't have to answer, idk and don't care, just guessing at possible theoretical legit uses just to be complete.

I just know there's all kinds of use cases I have no use for, or actively hate, that most other people seem to love, not even just businesses inflicting things on employees but normal people using voluntarily.
But at least in my experience (and I suspect in others' as well), those shorts trips make up a miniscule percentage of overall miles (and therefore emissions). It's commuting and road trips that account for 90% of my mileage
why do testla apologists take offence to this and come to their defence, usually with "whataboutism"?

Tesla is in the news fairly frequently due to them revoking peoples features, is toyota?

People single out Tesla because they are the "John Deere" of automobiles.

I have a Hyundai, i can have it serviced pretty much anywhere, can you take your Tesla to the local mechanic?
At least some of the things on GitHub are not inside a walled garden.
Would you accept a short answer? The 'short' answer is the compiler tracks various things such as memory owner (for alloc) and lifetime (for constructors/destructors). The compiler enforces rules so it's clear (to the compiler) if the memory owner belongs to the caller function (for example ReadEntireFile), the parent function (itoa causes the calling function to pass in a hidden buffer for it to use) and if it's on the stack, heap or belongs to an object (class struct or array)
This is nonsense though. Criminals livestreaming crypto scams go through hundreds of hacked accounts every day, their stuff is constantly getting taken down.

It's just their incentive structure which is different than that of the Apollo program footage uploader.
Friendgame is a startup that connects people with a new group of friends through facilitated games. It's launching its first free beta for people who live in the SF Bay Area.

Friendgame leverages research from cognitive science and applied psychology to create a 4 week experience that turns strangers into friends through once a week hangouts. Whether you're introverted or extroverted, recently moved to a new city or are a long-time resident, young or old, Friendgame is for you.

Participants are matched not only by common interests, but compatible goals, values, and personalities.

In a post-COVID era, the desire for satisfying social connection is at an all-time high. Friendgame eschews the pitfalls of the-more-connections-the-better that define most social networks and instead matches you with a single group of 7-10.
1. Buy a cheap used phone+burner sim for $20

3. Take these loans and wipe the phone or let them "hack" the worthless phone

4. Profit as these people being out of reach of the police goes both ways?
Sometimes, yes.

When someone has thrown themselves off a bridge, do we send out rescuers always or only under particular circumstances?
Here is a tweet [1] on the topic from the founder of Messari:

> Dear @Mailchimp,

> Thank you for deplatforming some of crypto’s most reputable brands in the past 48 hours, including @MessariCrypto and @decryptmedia.

> You’re proving our point.

> Mailchimp - and all speech censors - must be destroyed.

A call for a former business partner to be destroyed on the basis that they have declined to continue that business relationship is remarkably unprofessional behavior, especially given that their business has been prohibited by the plain terms of Mailchimp’s AUP (with a very reasonable justification) for the entire time that Messari has been a customer [2], meaning that they have been knowingly violating the policy or have not bothered to check.

Even so-called ethical and professional crypto-adjacent companies always seem to be anything but after even cursory research.

Being one step removed from a crime doesn’t give you clean hands. Selling shovels in a Ponzi gold rush is just as suspect as directly engaging in fraud.

Not only are there businesses that want you to commute, they are sometimes owned by the same conglomerate or investment firms, such as real estate. gas stations and toll roads that are a common trifecta.
In this chapter, we will discuss about image manipulation using NGINX module called ngx_http_image_filter_module. We can perform various image manipulation tasks like rotating, resizing, cropping, sharpening, changing quality etc of images.
I built a web app to help me track the Apple Fitness+ workouts I've done, including notes and whether or not I liked the workout, plus a Shortcut to help save the workouts after I do them.

I certainly haven't abandoned it, but I haven't bothered promoting it in any meaningful way because I derive value from it whether or not others are using it.

There's an invite system in place to help prevent spammers from overrunning the place, but I'm quite responsive to requests.

You can find it here: https://myworkouts.xyz
The servers for these apps are in China, but the owners are in other countries, Mexico, India, China etc. So it is hard for police to get a warrant to shut down servers when crossborder issues are involved. I am not an expert in such crimes, but they make it hard for local police to shut them down.
Taxes are a part of the story, but neither the whole story nor sufficient on its own. There are other countries with lower corporate taxes, but with a worse economy.

Other things it’s got going for it is a highly educated English-speaking population, geographically favorable location between Europe and the US, which, together with the favorable tax policies, makes Ireland especially useful for American tech and pharmaceutical companies.
This is Scientific Reports, a separate sub-journal from the same publishing group and not “the” Nature.
Machines with more cores and ram actually take longer to boot. I believe some of that was due to the dram training that must occur on startup, but the is must also discover all of the cores and build up the internal state to manage them. I believe some xeons take on the order of minutes to boot due to some of these considerations.
If you have an oracle that can tell you the answer, you can subsample that at lattice points.

But how do you compute the continuous answer in the first place?

The way I read this, the redundancy mechanism depends on a process actually being dead when monitoring thinks it’s dead. But that’s really not the way you’re supposed to do this, is it? Maybe it’s just... resting. At the very least it seems like the allegedly dead process should be shot in the head before activating the backup one (although that’s likely quite difficult to do reliably even if the mental model is simple).
At home you can choose a truly ergonomic chair, and control temperature, noise, etc
Lyyri, in which you can split a Youtube video into parts and add lyrics to it:
https://egaga.github.io/Lyyri/

Mainly made for myself, so that I can easily sing only parts of the song with lyrics.

Then Spotify added lyrics back and kinda lost interest in this, even though could be used for other purposes as well like teaching purposes: giving link to students to watch only some of the video with added commentary by teacher.
Though, currently the actual video is shown only really small so doesn't suite for that.
It is much much much more complex than that.
I have several old Android tablets that I could use for a hundred projects after installing a proper FOSS operating system and software, from IoT monitoring to communication, media playing, electronics etc. if only their manufacturer didn't tight close them to ensure they become obsolete when they decide so. These devices didn't turn (yet) into a couple Kg of electronic waste just because I know there still is potential to make them useful, but the reality for most people is way different: as soon as a device becomes obsolete, it is thrown in some landfill and replaced.
If right to repair would also mean manufacturers forced to unlock bootloaders and release enough documentation so that software can be ported to old devices, the implications will be huge.
Thanks for the details.

I noticed that gcc-toolchain and gfortran-toolchain are mismatched: the former is at version 12 while the latter is at version 10. (Someone must have forgotten to update gfortran when they updated gcc-toolchain.)

I get no errors when using this environment:

guix shell --container r-minimal r-tmb coreutils make gcc-toolchain@10 gfortran-toolchain@10

(Feel free to send future problem reports to bug-guix@gnu.org.)
Are there any examples for 2 and 3 openly accessible? While I grasped the basic idea I lack the imagination how it would look in a real world system.
Ask HN: How do you decide which language/tech stack to learn?
Hi,
I'm a senior dev who currently found himself working with C. On one hand I love it as it is familiar to me and I "get" it. OTOH I'm afraid it is regressing my future prospects as many consider it obsolete language and I'm in a market dominated by web dev and java enterprise.

So I'm thinking of investing in learning a more contemporary tech stack to stay relevant and employable. Doing mostly systems work (performance matters which is why we write in C) I was thinking maybe rust is a natural step for me but then again I worry that it won't get much traction in companies (lots of pushback from devs and management invested in older stacks, learning curve, not time tested etc).

Anyway. The real question is how you decide where to invest your time/energy next? I don't know of any method to attack this problem other than let the circumstances choose for me.

Thanks
The micro loan system works fine in USA & countries that actually enforce laws against extortion. I’ve gotten close to 0% interest rate instant loans for $100- $200 with Dave, Earnin, and MoneyLion. Been in the red for many months and never received even 1 threatening phone call, text, or letter. These apps saved me in a pinch and had seemingly no downside.
I see that you aren't.

Too bad we all have to pay for peoples irrational life style choices whose quality of life seems to be determined by meat consumption.

Seems worth digging deeper, so we have a Wikipedia [1] and a 2014 15-minute video (there are others) [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NdKsZrG9RA which was produced by these folks [3] which produced the NAWAPAXXI report which downloads from [4]

Frankly, it surprised me that such a project as massive as NAWAPA would be championed by the LaRouche camp.

I think you are assuming that 22% is the fraction of the energy recovered, when it's actually more like 70-80%

I'm not sure exactly how they calculate the 22% but I assume they need to model how often the car brakes to arrive at that.

There are heavy EV trucks in mining that have to discharge their batteries into the grid because they are net positive.

This isn't perpetual motion, it's just that electric generators/motors are quite efficient at turning rotation into electricity and vice versa.
(just an example of other manufacturer) Same Lenovo laptop model comes with grounded Schuko plug in Europe and ungrounded 2-pin in US (and probably Japan). I owned both verisons. Both make noise to audio output and mess up cursor while charging (not when 100%). Plug difference is probably a certification issue.
I built a tool to populate an empty Active Directory instance with fake user identity data, including office addresses, departments, organisational linkages, security and distribution groups, and of course all the actual user data.

It could fill an AD with upto 50,000 identities and associated data, which could then be used for testing. The engineer could tweak every aspect before it got created.

Beyond fully writing it and getting it to a version 1.0 state, I never marketed it as I had a sudden crisis of faith and thought no-one would actually want it.

unrelated to whatever content was on that page, but for some reason I just don't trust websites that fade the text in; I also dislike pages like blogger.com that have a "loading page" intro to every site.

1) Why would anyone on minimum wage need to afford a median house (or condo)? The person making the least would need to afford the cheapest house, not the median one.

2) No, housing prices have not skyrocketed for decades. It' simply not true, much less a fact. Aside from housing bubble and COVID mismanagement, they were flat-ish for decades in relation to income, only growing slowly.

3) Are you saying the recent "huge spike" over the last few years is caused by single family housing being preferred to multi-family construction? To me it clearly isn't.
Yes, can use Discourse for async, long-term communication. Or Flarum if you want something more modern feeling (but with a lot less features).

And then Matrix for real-time chat. Bridge it to IRC if you want. Search is not great in Matrix but sufficient for simple keyword searches.
Top marginal rate of tax paid by the employer is 55.5%. Employer pays some payroll taxes too but those usually aren’t included when comparing income tax. As a rule of thumb it costs the employer $1.50 to pay someone $1
It was bad financial policy to peg the Lira to the Dollar. It should have been free so that the exchange rate reflect its true value. The lifestyle with all the things you could buy in the country since the 90s at the official 1,500 LBP rate was a big lie; things should have been more expensive.

It was bad economic policy to ignore agriculture and industry, and make everything about tourism and services. So many imports could have been produced locally but weren't. E.g. as it became evidently clear when people couldn't find things like cheese and milk to buy anymore.

> There was no 'corruption' vodoo. Its just debt.

Debt that was spent to do nothing, to build nothing, but to fill the pockets of politicians and their cronies. Through 10 levels of contractors who fix nothing, to 100K new government jobs given in one year to people who don't even know where their offices are...

There was about 80B dollars lost only in the Ministry of Energy, presumably spent to get electricity to people, all now unaccounted for and still no electricity.... Politicians are billionaires, and only their cronies can get the important jobs and the big projects. And on and on...

Yes, there was rampant corruption. Still is. And it had a lot to do with the crisis.
California grows more food than any other state. It’s not all almonds folks. Good luck just moving that somewhere else.
this is really hard. i believe well meaning suggestions come from two types of people, those who don't know how to do it, and those who are to busy to do it themselves.

most of the time when i d̶r̶o̶p̶/contribute a suggestion as a user then it's because it's a good idea but not a priority and i don't have the time to implement it, or rather it's not important enough for me to make the time and contribute a patch.

and for those who don't know how, most likely the idea they had is more complex than they would be able to do as a first project, even if they were willing to learn. they are better off contributing in other areas that match their skill-level or enable them to learn. but how to motivate them to work on something that does not relate to their suggestion? maybe by arguing that if they help with those beginner tasks over there, then someone else can find the time to work on their idea, but it feels risky to make that kind of promise.

so i would rather focus on those who say they want to contribute something but don't know what because they feel they don't have the skill. those are hopefully motivated to learn. point them to issues that are suitable for people starting out.

and for anyone else: thank you for the suggestion. patches for this idea are welcome. (and optionally) feel free to ask for pointers how to get started.
I think that this is a form of exploitation by car manufacturers to be honest. Consider that ownership can be expensive and so charging subscriptions with walled gardens and lock-ins makes sense for lower income consumers.

You might think this is a good pro-consumer thing to have. I don't believe so. There is no reason for example a manufacturer should be able to cajole another $40/mo. out of me for heating or cooling. Or $20 for their "radio station package", or any other thing they can imagine. Sure, you could argue Tesla's performance upgrade model might not be anti-consumer in the sense that they save money building one engine/one car and the consumer gets in at a level they can afford. But what is stopping them from pushing this further? Engine mileage fees?

The point is that often times the average consumer is not considering the choices they make 5, 10, 15 years down the road. That doesn't mean it's okay for this position to be exploited, it means we need to educate people on their rights including the right to ownership and repair and do what we can to stop the exploitation of the cattle class.

I have no idea why I can't have an unlocked phone with most carriers, or a gaming system that I can install what I want on, etc. I have no idea why most computers built today use soldered on components so I have to go to the them for repair. At the end of the day I don't like not owning things. When my entire life is determined by a list of dozens or even hundreds of subscriptions I am simply a meat machine that converts calories into corporate profits. Rent for an apartment because all of the houses are bought up is yet another way they keep you on the treadmill.

If you own nothing you have no control. If you have no control your position is easily exploited. We need to fight tooth and nail to maintain control and ownership of everything we have.
I'd claim it's all about economics. There are small trucks commercially available for the first time now that can move the volume of packages required. And they're cheaper to operate than ICE trucks, so companies are obviously and quickly switching. The marketing points are frosting on the equation!
The burden of evidence is demonstrating that they are each unsafe.

Lumping a hundred chemicals under a label and then claiming that any time ANY of them are found that they are harmful, is dishonest.

Isn't the problem also that the result of the human behavior comes visible long after it has ingrained to the society?

You might invest into something that reduces the current behavior, then a new one crops up, and some hundred years after the effects of it become apparent.
Thank you, and the equation was balanced.
