Controlling your domain/mx is the most valuable thing.

Email reception has not been a problem for me so I enjoy having my mx pointing to my own mail server. It gives me more control and it requires very little maintenance.

If I was going to outsource anything the first choice would be outbound. My email system does everything right for reputation protection. All senders are authenticated on secure connections and the senders are people I trust. Nothing bad gets sent and my static IP is on a reputable server host and is not on any public black lists. I maintain SPF, DKIM etc. If someone decides to block my IP for no reason by accident or on purpose there is very little I can do or care to do anymore.

I have an alternate path for emails setup via a server I host elsewhere ready to go. If I run into a widespread delivery issue due to massive indiscriminate ip blacklisting of my provider I can enable it. That has happened once in 20 years. If delivery gets too hard I will change that policy to send all outgoing emails through a commercial smtp delivery service and let them deal with the problems.

EVs may currently be unfriendly toward self-repair but that doesn’t always have to be the case.

I’d also suggest that you are operating under the illusion of self-repair. Is replacing a transmission something you can do? An engine? Sure let’s say you can. Personally I can’t replace an engine any more than I can replace a motor on an EV. I don’t have the tools, I still have to rely on society to procure the engine and tools and ship them to my house, etc. idk why this would be more or less difficult than replacing something on an EV besides the battery pack.

I don’t really follow your EV battery comment unless you live in a very abnormal situation which is ok, but it makes your comment much more akin to an abnormal anecdote than a generalized point regarding EVs.
> people earn more in San Francisco because the rent is a gazillion dollars

It's actually the other way around. Rent is a gazillion dollars because people are paid so much and the housing supply is very limited.
This sounds like the premise for a cryptographer's ghost story.

"... and they realised that the bias in their quantum RNG wasn't noise at all... it was a message coming from another dimension... And not just a message, but a warning..."
Another very happy (paying) customer of ImprovMX here. I have a dozen or so domains for family and friends configured this way, using ImprovMX for both inbound MX and outbound SMTP (using Gmail as the 'front end' mailbox, but using the custom domain/addresses everywhere).

I too gave up self hosting this all a few years ago - especially when hosting domains for others (family) who aren't tech savvy, I got sick of having to troubleshoot why their emails weren't being delivered. Outsourcing the delivery component to ImprovMX and the mail storage and even inbound spam filtering to Gmail, made things so much easier, even if it does mean relying on a centralised party like ImprovMX.
Culture fit doesn't necessary equal monoculture.

Think more "culturally compatible" or at least "we consider culture as part of the decision-making process" vs. purely assessing skills and salary cost alone.
In my recruiting office every time we hear a candidate is not a ‘culture fit’ the person is inevitably part of an under-represented minority. Culture fit is usually a code for a set of unwritten rules that maintain the status quo.

...don't know about that, but in my own experience it's up there with phrases like 'work hard, play hard' or 'multitask'. Red flags.
The main reason a company pays a person in one locale more than another, is that what it costs to retain that person in that locale. If you want a good person in the bay area or is going to cost more that a person in another area.
Cost of living plays a part. But it is really about the other competitors in the area.
But honestly don't be resentful. There are a lot of headaches in the higher pay areas. Like traffic is worse. Is the extra pay worth it? Maybe, maybe not
But 100k or, actually, 50k is very high for outsourcing countries. There are many talented and senior programmers working for less than 20k; the thing is, they wouldn’t pass the ‘modern’ interview practices of western companies. Language or culture or both prevents them from getting passed even the first step, and many companies have nonsense processes in place that require many steps over many weeks. It is a competitive advantage these days, in the west or elsewhere, to not interview at all outside a 15 minute chat; people will drop their wages considerably, in the US, EU and elsewhere, to not go through (often humiliating if they are senior devs) interview garbage I have noticed over the past 10 years or so.

100k is high though; 100K in the eu is still not common at all. I know many people (with uni degrees and senior engineering positions) in Nl/uk/de who would switch jobs today if you offered something that. If wfh and reasonable interviews of course.

You don't know the worst of it. In my country, it is almost always better to be "exploited" by US companies than to be "treated well" by local employers. Sad but true.

The USD exchange rate is just too good for exporation of goods and services. They simply offer more, despite the wage arbitrage. More money, more benefits. The typical US software developer salary is a truly ridiculous amount of money here due to the 5x multiplier, and even a fraction of it outcompetes every local enterprise I've ever seen.

I know exactly how it feels to see people in developed countries making 10 times what people here make on average.

It's mandatory here in Europe, if you care about being road-legal.
In the case of the Christchurch video, the harm has already been done. One could argue that sharing the video creates demand for more shooting videos (as is argued with CSAM), but the USA considers this to be protected for whatever reason (unlike CSAM or obscenity).
I love EVs.

That being said I wish someone would make an enclosed bicycle/motorcycle that costs less than $2000. Something like that which can go 30mph and had space for 2 days of groceries would be enough for me to eliminate my car all together.

I'm cobbling something similar now with a Class 3 cargo ebike, but rain sucks =/

The idealist in me says that electric ebikes could eliminate most of Americas problems in one swoop:

- Pedal assisted ebikes result in exercise. America is up there in obesity.

- America is also up there in cardiovascular unhealthiness.

- Americans have an average distance of 15 miles to work. 30mph + 60 mile range would allow you to comfortably get to work in approximately 30 minutes and give you enough juice to do it round trip, twice.

- Lower speeds result in fewer accident fatalities. America is up there in the number of road deaths. Lower speeds and smaller vehicles would lower this.

- Bike infrastructure can be used for walking. Walking is good. This promotes accessibility for a large range of people, notably children and elders.

- Bikes require less space to park, a lot less. This extra space can be used to build more housing. This additional housing will increase density, making bikes only more viable (compared to being in traffic in a car).

---

EVs are better than ICE, certainly. But I fear it will exacerbate some of our problems.

- The CapEx for EVs will discourage walking infrastructure.

- EVs can accelerate faster, much faster. I fear this will result in more accidents.

- EVs are much heavier than their equivalent ICE vehicles. Hopefully this doesn't result in EV accidents being more likely to have a fatality.

Ideally we'd just begin to phase out cars ideally, as opposed to transition to EVs from ICE, but I suppose baby steps are warranted here.
Gotcha. Misread for a sec.
Recent versions of zstd definitely don't obsolete LZ4, or else I don't think the author would still be contributing to both...

zstd also seems to be optimizing much more, recently, for the large stream of data use cases, versus the fixed-size or smaller records you might get in, say, databases, or filesystems, so I think it's actually becoming less generally useful over time of late.

And if you're going to play with Snappy, you might find S2, which was linked on HN relatively recently, interesting. [1]

Neither Tesla nor Nvidia do (or want to) manufacture chips.

That's an extremely complicated thing that requires armies of PhDs (chem, EE, physics, etc.) and billions of dollars.

You can think of what this is as 'maps' that manufacturers instantiate as chips.

IDK what tools Tesla is actually using, but for context, the work that Tesla employees would do looks like this: https://www.cadence.com/en_US/home/tools/custom-ic-analog-rf...
WSL 2 itself is fast but any GUI tooling around it is slow. Vscode for example needs to start a remote server inside wsl to do anything.
I'm not sure why you think this is not helpful. Yes there is a bit more to it than "how much does it cost to replace you" but it is correct and is helpful.
You can still have a discussion, but about what?
As the infrastructure is in place and battery recycling is maturing, the gotcha arguments holding back culture are evaporating.
If you heat your home using a heat pump, it makes no difference. If you heat with gas, you will indeed use more electricity but less gas when refrigerating immediately.
Your facts are inconvenient and will probably just be dismissed sadly.

EVs need to win by being better without more risk, not by trying to ban people currently using ICEs.
Yeah, that was my take. Put a bunch of tiny 110 frames around in a wheel pattern and add a plastic lens (I'm guessing here) and what do you think you're going to get?

Even 35mm was marginal in quality (he says from his spoiled-by-modern-digital-photography future). I went back to film and tried a nice Nikon F3 with a great lens. Photos were okay.

Absolutely wowed though when I started experimenting with 120 (medium format) film cameras.
I’m thinking the problem there isn’t repair, but that it looks like vapor ware. It looks quite a bit like an Elio which took peoples’ money, but never delivered a car.
If I recall from the Dojo chip announcement previously they were utilising SpaceX know how to greatly increase the cooling of the chips.

Although the article doesn’t look to address thermal issues from my summary skim of it.
the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse and Addiction just released a new report[1] on Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines.

> Among healthy individuals, there is a continuum of risk for alcohol-related harms whereby the risk is:
> • Negligible to low for individuals who consume two standard drinks or less per week;
> • Moderate for those who consume between three and six standard drinks per week; and
> • Increasingly high for those who consume more than six standard drinks per week.

standard drink is the equivalent of a bottle of beer (12 oz., 341 ml, 5% alcohol) read more on the old report [2]

I know I will watch my beer intake more closely now.

I remember watching it in the theatre as a kid and was blown away by it. I find it interesting that it had Cronenberg's editor working on it as well. Aside from stuff like Robocop and a couple of other things this was a cyberpunk movie I really got into. Ice T, Keanu and a dolphin all in one movie. I can wait for it to get released internationally so I can see it in my region in black and white.
That seems likely. Some early typefaces included wider and narrower versions of some letters to enable justification. Arabic typography does this by allowing, e.g., ﻧـﺪ in place of ﻧﺪ (not a real word, in case you’re puzzling over it, I know more about the letters than the language), where there is an extension to the connecting line between letters.

I think, that Gutenberg’s type had multiple versions of letters for this purpose, but I’m going by vague decades-old memories now.
Is P2P awful? I've been using Resilio Sync (neé Bittorrent Sync) for a decade now; if there is a reliable piece of software in my stack, this is it! Sharing files is a matter of passing someone a code. It works so well I really don't think about this as a problem.
After having toyed with it for a couple more days, I noticed it sometimes returns malformed JSON with extra tokens. E.g.

{"name": "foo", "company": "bar"}</code>

That's the only weird response I've seen so far, so I just work around it with regex. But if I start seeing other problems with the completion I might try tuning the prompt. Maybe more explicitly telling it how to format the two pieces of data in the output. Got that idea from here: https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1559801520773898240

Another clickbaity title from The Guardian (this makes n=2 such comments from me on this website over the past two days) but the eventual conclusion gets the point across. (No it's not the end of ambition, it's just a reframing of cultural values which discourage endless toiling for something you probably won't get.)

Ultimately (in my opinion) it all comes down to value systems. You have to figure out what you value / care about most and then try to pursue that. And then you try to resolve any dilemmas based on what upholds your value system best. (Obviously survival and subsistence come first, but people are realizing that putting in so much extra work isn't getting that much more results. So there is an understandable cultural shift.)

Someone on this site made a comment (which I did appreciate) that it's a bit egotistical to assume that everything you do will be consistent within one ethical framework. That's fair. But I think it's still valuable (haha) to think about values (and if that value is something humanistic, then that's pretty cool).
If you're in a climate where that is a problem, the solution is to use an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) along with your air conditioning to use the conditioned inside air being exhausted to pre-treat the incoming air using an enthalpy heat exchanger.

Heat recovery ventilation (HRV), which uses a sensible heat exchanger, is sufficient in temperate climates but otherwise you need to be able to transfer latent heat also to reduce humidity, so need the ERV.
It’s an avoidable 4% increase. That’s why I think it’s poor execution.

If my city increased by utility price by 4% because they messed up the sequencing on a contract it would be a sign of poor planning.
Scientists establish link between religious fundamentalism and brain damage
I'm not convinced. The "smart grid" has been discussed for over a decade. Would anyone here allow their Tesla to discharge when parked, allow it to feed power back into the grid? What if those extra charge/discharge cycles decreases the battery's life expectancy? The small bonus payments (pennies) just won't cut it imho. People will charge their cars and keep them charged.
Yea, I don't get this comment. The places with the worst droughts according to the maps are often red areas. While California is overall "blue," it has more conservatives in the central parts of the state than probably the number of people in North Dakota and South Dakota combined. A lot of the more agricultural regions of California are heavily red.

Now take a look at the South East, which is a "red" strong hold (maybe Georgia will change soon in upcoming elections). Yet the South East is mostly showing as not drought conditions.

So I don't see where political barriers are coming from. Even looking at the state level. Sure, in aggregate, California is "blue." But Utah and Texas are "red." Yet they all have some elevated to serious drought conditions according to the map.
Strange how, having become curator for the family photos going back many generations, I have seen the quality of the photos fall off over the decades. Peak home-photography appears to be around the 1930's or 1940s. Photos get worse when color comes along, worse still when Polaroids came along.

Growing up we had the Kodak Instamatics — perhaps the worst of the lot?
Living expenses are an incredibly valid reason.
It’s actually pretty difficult to imagine round trip AC to DC to AC in people’s garages being competitive price-wise but who knows? Maybe in colder climates where cooling is less of an issue.
I incessantly question and doubt everything as part of having lots of anxiety and depression. Reading these responses makes me wonder if the parents would say the same thing, disagree, or possibly say something else.

As for a specific decision, my mother tells me it was encouraging me to befriend a supervisor who all of my other coworkers hated. This was at a sushi bar. The guy had an inflated ego, put other staff members down, got on everyone's case, and held grudges. So mother tells me I should just do everything the guy wants, and as months go by, there is no one on the team who the supervisor trusts more than me. Even though my performance was average, I was his favorite employee. It got to the point where I was fixing his computer, invited to his home, and doing his math homework for him (he was in culinary school). When I finally moved on to another job, he begged me to stay. Years later he was super friendly to me once when we randomly encountered each other. I think the moral of the whole thing was to not quit just because someone with authority over you has a crap personality.
I’ve found it to be pretty accurate to not drive into potential tornadoes as it uses pretty up to date data which lets me track storm paths.

The difference between “that looks really bad” and “ that looks really bad but will be moved on by the time I get there” is very helpful. Plus being able to text a screenshot of me about to drive into a major storm cell to the owner of my truck is priceless.
Possibly, as long as accommodations are made... For me to add electric hot water to my house would be ~$5-7K, and has the additional issue that my hot water heater is not really in a place that a heat pump hot water heater would work so it'd likely have to be relocated.

But, the electric future is much, much closer than 50 years, probably even closer than a hot water heater replacement.
I wish so but the forecast is wrote in early 2021. I wonder is it still true after we saw inflation, high demand and short of battery supply, and supply shortage.
I can get gas from multiple gas stations with cash without proving my identity.

Ada has some really good synchronization primitives, I don’t know if that would have helped here as I haven’t looked at the problem that closely. I work at a much higher level so I lack the experience at this level. Ada was phased out for C++ primarily because the devs are cheaper.
I don't see anything wrong with people looking for balance. I think the challenge comes when they try to make it so nobody can be ambitious. There is lots of "have your cake and eat it too" attitude, especially in tech, where people want to maximally successful in their career while working on their own terms, and I've seen it devolve into effectively saying that others shouldn't be allowed (or credited for) working hard. That is when ambition ends.
Thank Christ 3.7 will compile cleanly for many years to come. Let me guess.. RedHat sourced patch?
With no virtual memory, no caches, and interface processors instead of direct access to external DRAM, this thing must be a programming nightmare?

Having tons of small CPUs with fast local SRAM is of course not a new idea. Back in 1998, I talked to a startup that believed it could replace standard cell ASIC design with tiny CPUs that had custom instruction sets. (I didn't believe it could: it's extremely area inefficient and way to power hungry for that kind of application. The startup went nowhere.) And the IBM Cell is indeed an obvious inspiration.

But AFAIK, the IBM Cell was hard to program. I've seen PS3 presentations where it was primarily used as a software defined GPU, because it was just too difficult to use as a general purpose processor.

Now NOT being a general purpose process is the whole point of Dojo, so maybe they can make it work. But from my limited experience with CUDA, virtual memory and direct access to DRAM is a major plus, even if the high performance compute routines make intensive use of shared memory. The fact that an interface processor is involved (how?) in managing your local SRAM must make synchronization much more complex than with CUDA, where everything is handled by the same SM that manages the calculations: your warp issues a load, it waits on a barrier, the calculations happens, sometimes in a side unit in which case you again wait on a barrier, you offload the data and wait on a barrier. And while one warp waits on a barrier, another warp can take over. It's pretty straightforward.

The Dojo model suggests that "wait on a barrier" becomes "wait on the interface processor".

Different technology, but Destin from Smarter every day did an interesting factory tour [1] of their film making process. Despite the factory being fairy old, there's an impressive level of engineering, automation and other tech involved. Things like their film coating machines having an isolated, heavy floor that's directly connected to bedrock, miles of drying machines that never physically touch the film, or the giant screw used to generate heat by friction to create the film base.

The amount of process and technical knowledge and experience that went into this is absolutely impressive.

I prefer the older TLR (twin-lens reflex) cameras — the "box cameras". They take amazing photos (I think). Most larger cities will still have a camera shop selling/processing 120 film.

(Also easy to scan the negatives on a flat-bed scanner rather than having to make prints.)

TLR's can be had fairly inexpensively on eBay (as long as you're not insisting on getting a Hassleblad or a Rollieflex, for example).

Yashica's are still affordable and take excellent photos. Most models are purely mechanical — not even an exposure meter.

Consuming less calories is the behavioural change that will reduce obesity. The problem is that people only do this temporarily and then start eating at a surplus again, which makes them put the weight back on.

If someone quits chain-smoking they'll feel healthier, lose their cough, improve their aerobic capacity etc. If they go back to smoking they'll go back to feeling how they were.
It's the same with obesity - doing short stints of dieting is like quitting smoking for a couple of months and then starting up again.

> If we're only concerned with fairness in compensation, cost of living must be a factor.

No. The most fair thing a for-profit company can do is pay people proportional to how much value they add to the company. If it's a lot of value you can choose to live in an expensive city. If not, you have to live somewhere cheaper.
