I don't think Julian Assange among other whistleblowers who are punished for speaking out about the Western hegemony's actions care too much about the Big Bang Theory's episodes in China...same with most of who are censored by YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, etc for political reasons. Practice what you preach or what you preach has no credibility.

The global south & many westerners are tired of the lectures coming from the NeoLiberal Democracies & it's easy for them to identify a long list of hypocrisy.
I mean, if you waved a magic wand and CO2 levels were back at 280ppm? Maybe you'd expect sea levels to stabilize at their current levels?

There's at least four pieces of inertia here that make preventing sea-level rise hard absent such a magic wand:

1. We're not at equilibrium temperature for our current CO2 levels; if you stopped generating CO2 at an industrial scale and we kept the atmosphere to 420ppm CO2, you'd still expect to see the mean global temperature rise.

2. Even absent increases in CO2, the ice that continues to melt until the new equilibrium is reached decreases the reflectivity of the Earth.

3. The ice that's already melted has decreased the weight on the continental places upon which it rested; the plates are still rebounding, and it can be easier for ice to fall off as they raise.

4. Once we reverse course and ice is no longer melting, it will take a long time for the ice to re-form and the water to be removed from the oceans, lowering sea-levels (and storm surges). Some of the places the ice is disappearing from is effectively a desert, with very low rates of precipitation.

Most of the people with a billion money don't have a billion money in a bank account. They own a company that some accountants say is worth a billion dollars, but there are a LOT of presuppositions built into that evaluation by those accountants. But that's a side point.

UBI causes inflation, which hurts the lower class the most. How is this a win? If everyone gets UBI, then the prices adjust and no one effectively gets UBI anymore. this is what happened to college tuitions in the US because of government grants and government-guaranteed student loans.
Age ratings are quite a different thing than making it unavailable to the entire public. I don't think you can just lob all censorship in the same basket like that: there's quite a bit of nuance here that makes all the difference.

He just liked Google's services and enjoyed using them until he was unfairly banned.

> Businesses can sell RIs they’ve purchased, setting their own price for the remainder of the contract.

You can't sell convertible RIs, I thought? Would love to find out that's wrong.

From what I've seen RIs are a trap, suitable to hardly anyone, especially not startups. If your infra is elastic or evolving at all, be really careful before going for RIs. And I would never go for more than a one year reserve.

(maybe if you are deploying K8s over RIs it's fine, you'll be able to utilise at least partially even if your infra changes - but if you have workload-per-instance or service-per-instance then be careful)
Show HN: GoPaillier – A extended Paillier cryptosystem implementation in Go
You've done what I were trying to do a year ago! I was trying to build a crypto visualizer app that's easy to write. I played around using Cytoscape.JS but still thinking of how to best represent the data in a textual format.

This is a cool idea! Although my project is now in a back burner, in the future if I want to pick up where I left off I might just use your library.
Because of scale. A few bucks value per user adds up when there are billions of users.
This also very much depends on the inference use case / context. For example, I work in deep learning on digital pathology where images can be up to 100000x100000pixels in size and inference needs GPUs as it's just way too slow otherwise.

I seem to remember that "doing science" was once a very odd phrase, a meme used when you were actually fucking around doing something stupid. This article seems to be using the phrase without a hint of irony.
The people who I've heard say that definitely had space to say exactly that if they had wanted, so I don't think that's true.
If there is a better or more correct way to do this, anyone feel free to correct me, as my grep-fu is muy pobre.

$ cat * | grep -c ' */'
6386

Doesn't that * in your regular expression mean "greedily match as many of the preceding SPACE character as possible including zero, followed by the /" ?

So, what you've done is counted all the slashes in the code. Let's imagine that there are not many divide /, and there are not that many pathname /, so you're double counting the comments and should at least divide your 6386 in half

you want

$ cat * | grep -c ' \*/'

the backslash is protected by the single quotes, so it will get passed to grep where it will mean "literally *" rather than the regular expression operator * (now I'm thinking my \ is going to get swallowed up by HN so I'd better double them? ed: nope, didn't have to double, but I did have to backslash escape the asterisk after literally)
To be fair, I think ML workloads are quite a bit different than the days of compiling over lunch breaks.

Looking at the examples on this well-done site that would actually be pretty boring. The cuts appear to be about stuff that's pretty innocuous to us.
Man, the most brilliant folks I've ever met in software dev realm in past 20 years were always, without exception, the least patient ones. They get bored very quickly with mundane use of stable set of frameworks and libs. Doing yet another similar app and not something obscure, using bleeding edge stuff (and bugs). By bored I mean resigning, often immediately.

They are basically spoiled little brats thanx to their talent, and (some) companies tolerate that since they do deliver. But often they need to be babisitted by managers to clean any mundane tasks from their roads, so you sometimes have a little ecosystem of people or even teams working around one 10x dev. Mostly still worth it for the companies, but there is hidden price that shows often very late, ie 6 months after they leave and somebody has to change their brilliant cathedrals a bit. And one thing is as sure as death and taxes - changes will always keep coming.

What you describe would be hell for them, they would keep tinkering and keep creating new frameworks, languages or even whole platforms just for given problem, because that's fun for them. That's how it all started anyway.

> We need to stop admiring those smart enough to understand how the software works, and start making the software easier to understand in the first place.

Yes, I agree. But I think it does take a lot of design skill to achieve the latter. Making the complicated simple is not an easy task. Hoare described a similar problem like this[0]:

> There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.

> The first method is far more difficult. It demands the same skill, devotion, insight, and even inspiration as the discovery of the simple physical laws which underlie the complex phenomena of nature.

"There are now a large number of people out there called scientists who are doing something other than science.

So there's a storage backend called Nix, which is (usually) configured by Nix files containing Nix expression language - which the Nix build tool generated from different Nix files written in the Nix domain-specific language? And all of this is used to compose an operating system called NixOS?

Maybe people would stop calling everything Nix if the developers were to stop naming everything Nix?

Because it could be not-failed at Time F but failed at Time X, and somewhere between the two a bad decision was made. If you know what the previous civ did, you can perhaps learn from their mistakes and bootstrap yourself until the bad branch point and take a different path at that point.

Is it more important to mindlessly tag yourself "Agile", with all the bells and whistles adorning the capital A, or would you rather just be agile according to the sought out goals and philosophy, and adapted to your specific situation?

Is it more important to have a clearer definition of "DevOps", so that you can more accurately implement all the prescribed workflows, or would you rather understand the pursued ideals, so that you can pick and choose what you need, according to your specific context, unencumbered by a slew of best, but ultimately useless, practices?
The CCP isn't 'responsible' for the people under its boot. It is their lack of responsibility for the people of China that has led to this problem. You act like the socio-demographic situation is not the direct outcome of the policies pursued by the CPP regime.

"Will you be able to arrange for the population to be able to be fed, clothed, housed, and given medical care?"

The government of China does not do any of these things. China, despite their lip-service to historical Communist revolution, has some the worst social programs in the world.
Comedy doesn't translate well, even among people of similar demographics. What makes one person fall out of their chair with laughter will make another roll their eyes. You can water jokes down and make them generic, but rarely will you elicit more than a chuckle from people once you've completely diluted a joke. What was the last "dad joke" you heard that made you laugh uncontrollably?

I think it's pointless to try an appease everyone. People should make comedy for their audiences and those who don't find it funny are free to ignore it. Just like, I think people should write sci-fi or thrillers for their audiences, rather than for everyone.
GIMP plugin when?
Think Google: Every time you search, some model somewhere gets invoked, and the aggregate inference cost would dwarf even very large training costs if you have billions of searches.

Marketing blogspam like this is always targeting big(not Google, but big) companies hoping to divert their big IT budgets to their coffers: "You have X million queries to your model every day. Imagine if we billed you per-request, but scaled the price so in aggregate it's slightly cheaper than your current spending."

People who are training-constrained are early-stage(i.e. correlate with not having money), and then they need to buy an entirely separate set of GPUs to support you(e.g. T4s are good for inference, but they need V100s for training). So they choose to ignore you entirely.

“I hope we’ll manage to find a better balance between the eagerness to learn new tech, and the focus on actually delivering value.”

This is not always up to dev, org level changes to move to cloud or use new tech happens at mngr/arch/lead level. There needs to be trust in new tech as well as doubt if it solves the problem. I totally disagree with this thinking against new technologies. Can you imagine not going to cloud in 2022 and deal with old server technologies ?

Supporting four operating systems in a 400 byte ELF executable
I recently started a course of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for my treatment-resistant depression that’s been affecting me on and off since I was 13. Every weekday I go into the doctor’s office for twenty minutes and they zap my brain with a magnetic field. The course of treatment lasts 6-7 weeks, by week three my brain felt ten years younger and more energetic. I am still my same bs self with the same bs behavior, but now I don’t hate myself for every little failing. It’s amazing how you can solve your problems better when you stop beating yourself up for having them.

Virtually no side effects! The current standard protocol is annoying in its cost and the time commitment required, but this past year Stanford got a new protocol approved, called Stanford Neuromodulation Therapy, which is all done in the course of a week. There are people who’ve been depressed for decades who start feeling better on day one.

Huge possibilities with TMS protocols, especially accelerated ones like that!

Static buildup is all on the outside of a body, because the body is conductive and the charges repel each other. The static buildup doesn't affect chemical reactions in your cells; e.g. with electrons that occupy positions, hindering electron movement.
