Yes, and in practice dropping such a death rock would be viewed the same as using a nuclear (or mass chemical) weapon, and the response from nuclear powers, etc. would be commensurate.
Apple’s Lightning cable turns 10, but its time is over
Probably another week or two. running on M1 iPad Pro needs to get out of PyTorch, possibly export the model either through TorchScript and then do onnx conversion. From what I found so far, not many of these conversions done (except the OpenVINO one maybe?).
I personally agree that it's not unattractive and being self-conscious about it can make it so. However seldomly people with a perfect hairline worry about that, and many balding people do so it's at least another thing to get the upper hand on. And it's also no suprise a lot of people fear it.
Published data indicates that when women rate pictures of balding vs non-balding men, the former are rated worse and one could say the attitude one has would not have much of an impact on that.
And it's the same with height, perceived fitness and wealth.
What I am trying to say: It's simply not a level playing field and all these things add up.
A lot of these instances seem to describe meteorites. I don't see a connection to lightning at all. Also, it's pretty crazy that the ball lightning phenomenon has been around for a while, yet it hasn't been replicated in a lab.
Here's your counter argument:

Semiconductors involve the most advanced manufacturing in human history, and even with blueprints of chips, China is decades behind other countries/companies who have fabs and would have no way to manufacture the chips.

If it was as simple as "steal blueprints", they would've built their own homegrown fabs that rival TSMCs, but they haven't. This is the same reason they haven't managed to build a modern jetliner that can even remotely compete with Boeing and AirBus. For certain types of products, having the blueprint is only half the battle, you need the manufacturing know-how to actually produce something that advanced, at scale, and at high quality.

And similarly, I can say that rather than put up an argument of value that stands on its own, you had to add barely related political commentary at the end of your ramble. This shows someone not arguing in good faith or trying to better understand a topic, but who just wants people to know their views on something.

So the only thing "classic" is your classic conservative rambling talking points that I've heard a thousand times. Try to have a conversation about a topic without injecting commentary on the political figures your type seems to be hopelessly obsessed with.
Wasn't that Will Rogers?
This is the ultimate test to me in how far we are with AI.

If you stay abreast of AI advances, what do you think when you read the headline (let's pretend that they will use SOTA techniques)?

A) Oooh boy!

B) Hell no!

I'm strictly in camp B, even for low-stakes call center biz.
SEEKING WORK | local or REMOTE (within Africa)

Contract or part-time

Location: Africa

Willing to relocate: yes, to any location in Africa, where i can get the necessary permission to live and work.

Technologies: Linux, Fullstack, System Administration.

Résumé/CV: on request (software development, CTO, mentoring, training, fluent in English and German)

Like a recent Ask HN: Recommend employers with positive social impact [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31518945], I am looking for similar work. I am a European software developer who has lived and worked on four continents. Now it's time to move on and so i am looking to relocate to Africa.

While i could find a job elsewhere i believe that the experience living in an area where my work is going to have an impact gives me a better understanding of the needs of the location i am serving. Whether it is through direct contact with clients and users or just by being part of a local community and learning about the reality of living there.

I have more than a decade of experience running a company, doing software development, support and training and mentoring adults and students, as well as working on educational projects, and i am willing to take on a mixture of roles as needed to support a project.
FindItParts | Senior Stack Ruby/Rails Engineer | Remote in US | Full Time

FinditParts is the nation’s largest eCommerce provider of heavy-duty truck and trailer parts. From hard-to-find parts to everyday preventative maintenance items, we offer more than 3 million heavy-duty OEM, branded, and aftermarket parts ready to ship. Each month thousands of repair shops, fleets, and owner-operators rely on FinditParts to streamline their part sourcing efforts and keep their trucks on the road.

Founded in 2010, with offices in Los Angeles and the Philippines, FinditParts is well-funded, having recently raised $30 million in Series A funding, and profitable.

Looking for an senior software engineer who can come in and be a productive member on small team of old school Ruby/Rails engineers.

I'm the Director of Engineering (and a Rubyist) and reachable at: dylan.stamat @ finditparts.com
I'm (slightly) biased, but wanted to mention that Sid is an exceptional engineer, manager, and a pleasure to work with.
The difference between an M2 air (8gb/512gb) versus an M1 pro (16gb/1tb) is much more than I expected.

* M1 pro (16gb/1tb) can run the model in around 3 minutes.
* M2 air (8gb/512gb) takes ~60 minutes for the same model.

I knew there would be some throttling due to the m2 air's fanless model, but I had no idea it would be a 20x difference (albeit, the m1 pro does have double the RAM. I don't have any other macbooks to test this on).
Some issues are not discussed in order to be resolved! :-)

I wasn't familiar with Sol Lewitt, so looked him up - apologies if I miss the particular aspect of his work that caused you to pick him. He seems like an interesting artist - I like his wall paintings.

If I'm right, he created diagrams / instructions for the production of the wall paintings, and didn't paint them himself, so that's a deviation from what I said about an artist needing to create their own work. However I think on balance, the overwhelming majority of the creative work involved was still his.

One thought I had, was to consider what the difference would be if the artist was removed from the project, and it was completed without their input. Without Sol Lewitt's diagram, nothing comparable to his work would be made "by chance".

Contrast that to a DALL-E user. DALL-E could happily spit out great looking images all day, with prompts generated from random noise. It ONLY makes (reasonably) good looking images. If 9999 out of 10000 images were random noise, and only certain arcane prompts would create a masterpiece, then I could accept there was skill in hunting for the prompts. But as it stands, it's more akin to being a buyer of art in a vast gallery, in my view.

Hope this makes sense!
> But I only go out shopping once a week or two, not daily. That sounds exhausting.

It's not exhausting when it's just a couple of blocks away. I live about 5 a minute walk from our local grocery store, so it can be a nice break to pop over there for a couple things multiple times a week. There's no ceremony to it at all since there's no hassle of parking and it's easy to go when the store isn't crowded. An added benefit is that I can plan less and also waste less food, because I go to the store more often and get exactly what I need.
Not everyone can learn calculus or even basic algebra. A person with a severe intellectual disability isn’t going to be able to learn these subjects. Between severely intellectually disabled and Einstein is a boundary between those who can and those who can’t. I don’t know where the boundary is but it exists.
Thank you for this. Big fan of your blog and all your contributions to Django
Thank you for the kind words! Shit is hard. I am happily married so hopefully will never have to return to the dating pool :). Don't think I will ever conquer it, but I have learned to live with it and it is not bad as it once was. Ironically by accepting it and not trying to fight it, the power it has had over me has diminished. Good luck to you too and I hope you figure out whatever you are dealing with!
I don't know any specific examples off the top of my head but I'm fairly sure that's true for the US as well. The bar might be higher, though.
Odd you say the price is steep - I have been using it mostly exclusively for a few months now and I haven't even thought about it cost. It must come out to under 0.1¢ per search.
I also couldn't open it with Chrome on Android.
> I think we do a great disservice to students learning mathematics by not emphasizing the power of computers and calculators in modern arithmetic.

But all of the students who came to the help desk in college were practically addicted to their overpriced graphing calculators. A decent fraction of the time I would look over their work, they'd be on their last try in WebAssign (may it be cast into the fire) with a scared look on their face, and I would say "you entered this part into the calculator wrong". I knew immediately because I learned to estimate these things. You don't have to even know the multiplication algorithm; you can stick to multiplying the first digit, adding exponents in scientific notation, etc. Learning to work with the calculator instead of behind the calculator will make you use it more effectively.

The multiplication table has 45 entries that aren't duplicates or multiples of 1 or 0. Kids memorize longer things all the time. The brain is definitely not the limiting factor.

>Textbooks still focus things like von Neumann's ability ability to multiply large digit numbers in his head as a proxy for his math proficiency.

I don't recall ever seeing that in a textbook. There is a famous story about JvN summing an infinite series in his head, but very few people can do that or would be expected to. He also estimated the yield of Trinity within a factor of four by just looking at it. One should never compare themself to von Neumann.

I honestly believe the biggest factor in math anxiety is osmosis. Their parents are afraid of math, their teachers (often!) are afraid of math, and there's a robust body of evidence in developmental psychology that children inherit the worries of their guardians.

Presumably he started with ill intentions.

Let's see.. 125mil right now, or 1mil over the next couple years.
Even that line is blurry. A lot of people who reject rational argument will give the appearance of accepting it, but then after a little while you realize they're not even listening to your rational arguments and they're just spouting more and more irrational nonsense each time.
MDM doesn't have to be a heavy-handed thing and solutions exist for macOS at least. Even something that just makes sure the OS and critical apps always have the latest security patches - and ideally pushes those changes when it’s not disruptive to the host – can go a long way.

Longer quote:

> In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.

OK. So he's clearly including advocating for violence as across the line.
The intro video for Orion is what convinced me.
Np. Even though I have never worked or owned a restaurant myself, I did have a stint as a Cafeteria worker in college and since then, my respect for food industry and workers in general has gone up by a lot. Anything to help them make more money, I am up for it.
2 books I recommend for anyone interested in the history of this stuff are "Acid Dreams" and "How to Change Your Mind". The latter is a bit more pop-sciency, and the former is probably more factually accurate (though who can say, it's a lot of he-said-she-said). For a fun read on the topic, "The Doors of Perception" is a classic.

Heroku Importer v3.0.0 Release
I gave up dating entirely in my early 20s, before dating apps were a thing. It was nothing short of a great decision. For me the juice isn't worth the squeeze, but a lot of people want it much more than I do, and they end up bitter if they take this path. Solitude isn't easy but it's amazing when you can appreciate it.
Audio production, I would claim, is the only niche the Macintosh has continually dominated since the first Steve Jobs era.

Even desktop publishing took a turn towards Windows in the mid-late 90s, whether it stayed 'dominant' is a fuzzy question but it was clearly losing market share.

But you won't find a professional music studio without a Mac, this has been true since the late 80s. This is not to say it can't be done with other equipment, just that as a matter of practice it isn't.
There's a certain line you need to draw when considering unknown unknowns. You're suggesting that changing surface features on a remote body in space could somehow affect Earth. Consider that the moon has been hit by very large asteroids in the past which caused disruption on a scale beyond what we could ever do and we don't have any indication that it has affected the Earth other than kicking up some meteor showers. Worrying that we could somehow provoke something more is akin to worrying that driving to the grocery store will trigger an ecological collapse. We have no reason to think it will, we can't even posit something that sounds plausible, but there could be unknown unknowns that make it so.
Decoding FinOps
Stainless | Founding Engineer | NYC or Remote UTC+1 to UTC-7 | Full-time

Stainless is building the platform for high-quality, easy-to-use APIs.

Our first product is SDKs as a service – you send us your OpenAPI spec, and we generate pacakges in all the major languages and publish them to npm/pypi/etc (think `npm install your-company`). These SDKs are world-class: you get an idiomatic wrapper with autocomplete, types, etc. (I built a version of this at Stripe for their SDKs, and am now building a better version for everyone.)

Next, we want to make it easy to build amazing REST APIs. REST is simple and ubiquitous, but right now it’s messy, chaotic, and hard to get right. We’re going to build great open-source standards and tooling that bring the benefits of GraphQL (types, field selection/expansion, standards) and gRPC (types, speed, versioning) to REST.

From there, we plan to build out a rich family of developer platform products – everything an API team would need to deliver a terrific DX to their partners and/or customers.

We’re about 8 months old, around 5 people, have strong revenue, and are selling to companies you interact with every day. We’re backed by Sequoia; founders of Next.js, Prisma, and Segment; and a bunch of (ex-)Stripe employees.

As a founding engineer, you’ll get autonomy to build great products, skilled peers, opportunity for tremendous impact, competitive salary, and a very competitive ownership stake.

We’re looking for exceptionally productive, thoughtful, tasteful, and kind people with a passion for making software development better for everyone. Want to build the future of API tooling? Say hi: alex at stainlessapi.com
When the dumb shit on twitter is justifying physical violence, does it count?

Even *that* line is blurry. If you forbid people from directly inciting violence, they'll jump to "Won't someone rid me of this meddlesome priest?" and then someone will, in fact, rid them of the meddlesome priest. Did they incite it? Who can say?
So either we preference your 150000 euros (and of course interest and margin on top) or someone having a roof over their head, running water, and even the ability to stay in the same are and building community instead of moving each year due to capital seeking max gains.
First I am hearing of Kagi. I'm impressed with what I am reading though. The company seems very transparent about their business model, which is refreshing.

Reading their pricing page, it says it costs them about one dollar for a single search query. Holy moly, that seems wildly expensive. I would really be interested in knowing why a single search query is so pricey.
My kids are amazing at risk analysis. They know exactly all the probablities, better than you with 90% probability.
Two things have been stated publicly and privately in some circles.

> Science bodies (like the NIH) explicitly forbid reuse or reinterpretation of data.

I think your main point is that collecting new data is necessary to test existing ideas. But reuse and reinterpretation of data is routine, e.g., in meta-analyses. It's not forbidden. You do have to disclose where the data came from.
> We work for a living, not the other way round.

Sure. Someone smart put it this way once: “will this person come up with a new idea to help what we do together while they are having a shower?” Having an interest in the job helps with that. Doesn’t mean that they “live for their work” or whatever you are insinuating

> Do you service your customers because these specific customers are especially deserving of your service or do you service them to make money?

In my case the answer is: neither of those. In my case my personal motivation is that I find the thing we are building at work interesting and challenging. I “service our customers” because they make it possible to build the interesting thing, and they make it more interesting by bringing a steady supply of edge cases, anomalies and cool use-cases to us.

Thank you for being interested in my personal motivations. But I am curious how this interest connects to the surrounding discussion?
