To quote the FAQ (https://odin-lang.org/docs/faq/#is-the-odin-compiler-self-ho...):

> Odin is not currently self hosted nor will be until after version 1.0 when the main implementation of the Odin compiler adheres to a specification and is heavily tested. In general, self hosting before a stable language and compiler exists is masturbatory pleasure.
Police are supposed to rush into a classroom, they just sometimes don't. In many cases, "give them whatever they want" includes a plane ride somewhere, so you really can't just "arrest them on the street". Once you give the hostage takers a plane it's pretty much hijacked, and the US really does not want to do that. If you won't let them leave the area, but want to lead them on for awhile, they would almost certainly figure out and start killing hostages, and then you would have to go in anyway. Giving hostage takers anything more than basic supplies (to string them along for awhile) during negotiations greatly incentivizes hostage taking in your country. Some countries will pay out or allow paying out if the hostage taking takes place in another country (and the forces in that country are not competent or willing enough to pull off a rescue), but it's a bad precedent to do that in your own country.
Author here, it happens right now with my 5 year old LG 27UD88.

When the bottom part of the monitor renders something darker (say a Sublime Text window), it also displays a ghost image of a lighter previous image (like the browser window with a white page).

It started about a year ago, and every time it happens, the bottom part of the panel is very hot to the touch.

After letting a fan blow over that part to cool down the LEDs behind, the problem went away.

Which leads me to think this is a hardware problem, and the panel is giving up on me.
Not sure if you can draw that conclusion yet. The deck has been perpetually sold out since launch and is still a 6 month wait to get a device, they are selling them faster than they make them at the moment.

I don’t think this product will ever compete against the broad marketing effort of Nintendo however, it’s sort of a niche product in the end. With that said the comparison itself is odd.

Full disclosure: I do NOT own a deck and I do not intend to buy one.
> I got divorced last year and as part of the financial agreement, my ex-wife and I agreed that I would keep my cryptocurrency assets while she got the lion’s share of my pension and other investments

Not surprising that there was a divorce in the first place. What a moron.
I would never join a startup that didn't have complete transparency. I've been fucked by startups before where YC founders held all the information and then sold the company, enriching themselves but leaving the scraps for the employees. The next startup I made sure that the founders were very transparent and honest and trusted us with maximum information. Even though it didn't take off, I still enjoyed being a part of their team so much more.

Even unicorns that I worked for, the CEO shared very detailed and transparent information with employees even as the company got extremely large, which I appreciated.
One thing that’s not clear. The tweet you show claims you are “appointed” to a position by a human rights org in India. But your denials all say you aren’t “working” for India, and you claim here for “intel agencies”.

It would be good to be more clear on both sides. Did they appoint you or did you associate in any form? Are they an independent org or a government agency? Maybe there were multiple accusations you are rolling into one?
> Some of the water used by each of these sectors returns to rivers and groundwater basins and can be used again.

I'd really like to see what the percentages are _there_ for each industry mentioned.
I don't have the data in front of me, but iirc, its kind-of your standard pareto. Around 20% of the users use 80% of the water in a district. I mean you say no one has the money, but that 20% might be 2-3 oom higher in total use than the median of the 80%.

I think there are two or three issues bundled into one here. One is that water is managed at the district level. Districts are a patchwork of county, city, and private entities, some with elected leaderships, some with appointed leadership. The state has no direct control over water use in this way, although they have significant authority in other ways that can very much impact water use. However, that authority is split between a set of state agencies that have research and policy power, but no regulatory authority, and an elected/ appointed state water board that is just chasing the next election cycle. Finally, at the district level, these organizations are just a hot mess. Its a complete clusterfck of frankly, shockingly arcane methods for assessing and managing water (ever heard the term miners inch?). Half of these districts barely know where their water is going. I see the whole mess as a failure of neoliberalism, an undue faith in markets.
And why spell it "color" like the Romans did when you can blithely attempt to imitate the French aristocracy by injecting arbitrary "u"s into random words, thus giving you license to complain about CSS keywords for the rest of recorded history? :P
Pretty sure it sold less because it’s a smaller company, less well known, targeting a smaller audience, and lack of marketing. Just because it sells 1% of the volume that Nintendo sells doesn’t mean it’s not successful. If they sell 1 million units that would be amazing and hopefully give them the funding to create a version 2.
The answer is to use taxpayer money to buy the water rights from the farmers who will sell it the cheapest. The state can then use it for something they deem more valuable, perhaps urban usage.
how would you use this approach in practical application?

i haven’t met many working musicians who had much difficulty learning the relationships between different keys, how they connect to the circle of fifths (fourths), and key signatures.

i get that it can seem overwhelming and non-intuitive, but it’s really not that complicated once you spend time playing and practicing music that illuminates these relationships (like playing ii-V-I progressions in every key, going around the circle of fifths). very little memorization involved; moreso muscle memory and an accumulation of applied theory in context.

most of the musicians i know are jazz players, where being able to play in any key is a critical aspect of mastering the genre. all the classical musicians i know are professional orchestral musicians, and they don’t seem to have any difficulty either.
Sources? "Sold less"? The thing has been on backorder since it was revealed, it's impossible to get one right now and that's apparently not going to change until the end of this year. They only sell via their storefront.
Two problems with this idea (and to some extent the proposal in the article), all related to this idea of engineering the climate:

1. The state of the Earth 100 years ago was just a decade before the "dirty 30s" dustbowl years: extended droughts for the whole decade across the USA and Canada. There's no particular reason to aim for that climate!

2. The way CO2 interacts with the climate is too poorly understood to aim for any particular target temperature by adding or removing it. This is true on Earth, at least, but Mars is hardly studied at all. Yes, some climatologists / journalists / politicians claim otherwise but read their papers and you'll find they don't agree on the function that maps CO2 levels to temperature changes: there are lots of different values for the key variable of climate sensitivity used in production models, those models tend to overshoot, observation-based values are lower than the modelling based values they often use and assumed ECS values have been getting wider over time instead of narrower.

So if we don't know how to map CO2 changes to temperature changes on Earth, it seems kinda premature to assume we can predict the effects on Mars. Whilst in some senses the Martian atmosphere and climate is simpler than Earth's we don't really know how removing things like water clouds affects things (because we don't really understand their effects at home either).
Tell HN: Tesla vision AI is crap
proof- https://twitter.com/gauravphoenix/status/1563613302013304833

back when I used to have model 3, I had a horrible experience with auto-pilot which I described here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27306550#27307011

Seems like things are no better with model Y. It is seeing things that aren't there. Other people have the opposite issue with it- it doesn't see when it should see things :)

One more issue I have found is that while taking a ramp, sometimes it thinks that I am departing a lane and applies auto-correction to steering. The first time it did it, I jolted my soul. Imagine taking a regular ramp and suddenly you hear sharp beeps and the steering wheel rotates on its own. If someone from tesla wants to reach me, I can provide the exact location it happens.

Don't store important data on your phone unless it's synced.

Make backups.

If you have sensitive data, prefer an iPhone. They're slightly harder to crack and extract the data for the average script kiddie. If you require real security, you're on your own. Very few things stay secure once they're in someone else's hands.

Don't use SMS 2FA.

Store 2FA tokens in your password manager (I use Bitwarden).

Protect your password manager 2FA with a Yubikey. Keep it on your person. Have a spare Yubikey in another location.
At least in the USA firewood is super cheap and efficient heat. It’s just kind of a pain in the ass to run because modern fireplace inserts need to get really hot and therefore need to get reloaded every 4-6 hrs.
> Having said that, this needs to be done carefully. Instead of pumping everyone up about a potential partnership that could fall flat, you should try to be realistic and objective about it. “I’m really excited about a potential partnership with X. Even though this partnership will require we invest some resources doing Y, I see the possible benefits to the company as Z. From my perspective, this is a good opportunity for us. This isn’t finalized so I’ll keep you up to date on our progress. Let me know if you have any concerns or questions about this.”

Yes, exactly this.

It's what I meant by:

> Be open, honest, and realistic. Say what you hope will come to be as a result of your actions. Be clear when things aren't set in stone.

Just be transparent with what you're trying to accomplish, what the risks are, what you're uncertain about, where things are in the process, what the next few steps are, and what contingencies there are.
My personal convention is to call such a generic function ->bar to make it clear that what it does is coerce its argument to a different type.
Well this is dystopian.
I try to work on what I find most interesting, and am capable of doing. Stuff like single photon path distance stuff and LIDAR is really cool, and no doubt I could spend the whole weekend reading about it, but that's not easily within reach given my background (could be wrong). However, there are topics that are closely related to my job skills, and if I push hard on them I should be able to move my career in that direction. I'm a backend engineer, so topics like compilers, distributed systems, or databases are what I'm most interested in. All really cool tech that have deep academic domains and rich histories and very technical implementations.

My general approach is to take tiny steps in the direction I want to go everyday, ie, use the power of habit. This has several advantages, but mostly it's just easier for me if studying is a habit. Right now, that means doing a LeetCode problem every day to stay sharp for job interviews, reading about databases, and starting a new project where I implement a database myself, probably in Rust, so I need to learn Rust as well.

I do generally agree that there isn't enough time to spend on what you want, and work takes up way too much time, but in my experience accepting your limitations and learning to live a balanced life with devotion to tech interests and hobbies has been essential to staying healthy. Put another way, I don't want a crazy job where I grind it out for 65+ hours a week and burn out in 11 months, burn out is very unhealthy for me. Instead, my philosophy is one of sustainable daily movement, setting myself up for working not 2 more years, but 20.
Absolutely. Music theory is descriptive, not prescriptive. It just so happens that some things that sounded pleasant to people in the past still sound pleasant to modern ears, so you sometimes get into a bit of “tail wagging the dog” when people use those descriptive academic terms and concepts when creating music today, e.g. saying “I’m gonna write a 16-bar AABA tune that’s based on a I-vi-ii-V progression and modulates to the mediant in the B section”, and therefore think these are “rules” to abide. One of the more unfortunate misconceptions when it comes to the study of music theory.
> Somewhat, although Photoshop takes way less cognitive cost

Does it take less cognitive cost because it’s actually easier, or because you’re used to it and you’re not used to GIMP?
I found that after I updated the firmware of the monitors, they worked almost perfectly. And to make them actually work perfectly, I connect them on different sides on the MacBook Pro (intel version still). Took way too long to figure that out.
They should be terminated immediately. No need for an investigation over who started it.
There are still many Vegas casinos where you get 3/2 odds on blackjack and play with a six deck shoe. Don’t give business to the strip CSM and 6/5 games if you don’t like it.
Yes, that's a good hint. Most monitor power bricks have very large capacitors, especially when they also charge the laptop through the Thunderbolt connection.

That's also the point of the LEDs you see on power bricks. After unplugging, the LED uses up the capacitor current to discharge them faster and also serves as a visual indicator to know when it's safe to plug back the cable.
Computers only empower human nature, so it goes.
The creator of Odin has made it very clear he was inspired by and borrowed from both Go and Jai, which is perfectly acceptable. It's also very obvious, to any who have looked at the documentation or used the languages. The other poster already gave you a link, where Go is acknowledged. If you investigate further (Google), you will see that Jai inspired and was borrowed from too.

I suppose your argument is about Odin, being compared to Jai, but its very obvious they are in near categories. Pretty much whatever a person would have used Jai for, they can use Odin. Maybe you want to also watch the YouTube link of Jai versus Odin (https://youtu.be/M763xHjsPk4).

And, it might hurt some feelings, but I'm very understanding of people that rather use Odin than to wait around for Jai.
Just a heads up: Be careful posting two nearly identical comments so close together. They both ended up marked "[dead]". HN's filters catch things like that and may auto-kill them.

That's exactly how I read that sentence. There was no license, and ironically no license is more restrictive than most licenses.

Once you release code under a certain license you can pretty much never undo that. You can change the license, but the previous version under the previous license will still be valid. So I understand wanting to take time to think about what license you will use.

Because the sacrifice should be shared by all water users, and homeowners are far from the primary consumers of water.

When agriculture uses most of the water, and the most water in agriculture goes to luxury foods like almonds and pistachios, it’s ridiculous to be investigating homeowners while not asking farmers to reduce consumption.

Does it apply only to research within US, or also outside but funded by US?
I imagine the lower relative temperature of the well shafts would cause cool fresh air to sink, and the heated (by humans and animals) stale air would rise up and escape via the mentioned shafts, much like a traditional passive heating system in an old house. As long as the area doesn't get too humid (unlikely in that area) then the latent heat of evaporation would generate more than enough temperature delta to setup quite strong air currents, more than enough to keep the air fresh in the caves
We have very little understanding about how most other empires functioned. For instance we know were little about the Achaemenids and what we do know comes almost exclusively from Greek sources.

Rome is the most understood and researched ancient empire in the west which naturally makes it a primary candidate for such discussion.

> Why assume that a massive empire in necessary though?

I agree. Even Britain wasn’t exactly an empire in this sense during the late 18th century. And even if we go back to Rome, technological progress didn’t really stop after Rome “fell”. It might have even accelerated in some regions of Western Europe after the worst periods of the dark ages were over. By if we look at more practical fields like agriculture and metallurgy Europeans were already quite a bit more advanced than the Romans (who arguably had entered a period of stagnation several centuries before the fall of the Western Empire) ever were by ~900 AD.
> what are the specific principles that enable you to evaluate what is important and what can be dismissed as unimportant?

First and foremost is how many outright lies I find in the output of that source (e.g., Tucker Carlson makes claims that are consistently outrageous).

Next up would be getting a feel for the bias of the source (blatant vs innate)

Then it's compare and contrast across different media feeds.
The pronunciation is highly variable and the spelling has historically also been variable. When French words are imported to English, sometimes people try to retain the French pronunciation and other times they anglicize it. This word seems to have been handled both ways.

Another thing that happens is that both English and French change their pronunciation over time. After English imports a word, the French pronunciation may change making the English word look odd or not even look connected. Not sure that this happened to “timbre” but it did happen to words like “chief” and “chef”. Both were imported from French but at different times. “Chief” when French used the hard ‘ch’ sound and “chef” when French had switched to the soft ‘sh’ sound.

He's not asking Twitter to protect him from murder. He's asking them to do their damn job so the platform cannot be used to facilitate a smear campaign that makes it easy to get away with murder.

It's a very reasonable request.
I am suggesting that this example of corruption is evidence that there is sufficient profit in private prisons to motivate efforts (legal and illegal) to affect policy.

E.g., private prisons likely spend at least as much in legal lobbying efforts to maintain high prison populations as they do in bribes.
It's not beneficial to have every single person at the company thinking about the business as a whole. Now more than ever, we live in an age of specialization and it's counterproductive for all the people at the company to be thinking about the business as a whole. That is why there are departments, teams, and other groupings with discrete responsibilities: the separation of responsibilities and focus on small, manageable areas of responsibility helps people do a great job, efficiently.

This is true even with a company that's just starting, because there are way too many aspects of running a company for a single person to contemplate, let alone do efficiently or well.
I've seen reports of that but never had an issue myself. If there is a problem you can return it, and I find Amazon's "drop item at UPS store without packaging it" very convenient. If you still want to avoid the chance, B&H is probably best for electronic items.

For this sort of situation, I'd always avoid any generic advice that isn't a "how to".
"It depends on the team" really is the only generic info I'd share, since you still have to consider your situation.

The more professional and emotionally mature your team members are, the more I'd share. If a huge deal fails, juniors can be badly affected and will pull down morale, without much upside. On the other hand, experienced colleagues can catch early mistakes that could cost a lot more later.

Try to mentally simulate people in multiple situations and it'll be a lot clearer for you.
Faith is not commitment to "truth," but rather commitment to a belief regardless of its veracity. Science has nothing to do with "believing" something - its a process for determining what actually is true based on evidence. Historically, science has only been allowed to flourish as long as it tiptoed around the religious powers-that-be.

If you really think science boils down to a "minor variation on what has come before," I'm curious to know what millenia-dead philosophers managed to launch a JWST equivalent.
As such a claim is particularly serious, you are obliged to provide proof.

The crisis is one of poverty. While a large portion if the population (and almost everyone on HN) lives in massive, safe homes with upscale communities, good food, good human connection, support networks, they deny nearly everyone else access to the same.

Where can someone on a bartenders wage buy a house and work where they work? Where can they even buy land?

Yet there are vast swaths of land unused. Countless gigantic homes take up enormous spaces. And all the policy protects the people with those homes and property instead of the majority of people.

We don’t have a homeless crisis. We have a resource allocation crisis.
