With the kind of history it has had, India knows it's futile and extremely moronic to keep faith in the West for any kind of help when, if ever, "shit hits the fan" for it. That's actually among the main reasons it has chosen to not squander its relationship with its one trusted ally.

Of course. You can use Comic Sans for programming or whatnot if you really want (and there is actually a good reason, including dyslexia). But it is generally frowned upon because the font was never designed for that purpose and its use mostly indicates that the user is clueless about typography. Likewise excessive ligatures have their places, but there is a good reason to avoid them when you frequently have to edit them.
But they don't get paid minimum wage for just your meal, a person not tipping just ends up taking away from tips they earned from someone else that was over minimum wage. Not to mention not making tip minimums and asking for more wage from the restaurant will quickly get you fired.

I can see how you have arrived at the conclusion that I am belittling a problem.

Coping mechanisms are useful. In my experience, self-pity is a symptom of other maladaptive patterns. However, people are free to pick their poison, so for future reference, the OP can solicit only supportive comments by explicitly stating that comments like mine are unwelcome. Hope that helps.
EDIT: after I wrote the below I realize I could use automatic multi-versioning solely to configure the individual functions, along with with a stub function indicating "was compiled for this arch?" I think that might be more effective should I need to revisit how I support multiple processor architecture dispatch. I will still need the code generation step.

Automatic multi-versioning doesn't handled what I needed, at least not when I started.

I needed a fast way to compute the popcount.

10 years ago, before most machines supported POPCNT, I implemented a variety of popcount algorithms (see https://jcheminf.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13321-0... ) and found that the fastest version depended on more that just the CPU instruction set.

I ended up running some timings during startup to figure out the fastest version appropriate to the given hardware, with the option to override it (via environment variables) for things like benchmark comparisons. I used it to generate that table I linked to.

Function multi-versioning - which I only learned about a few month ago - isn't meant to handle that flexibility. To my understanding.

I still have one code path which uses __popcountll built-in intrinsics and another which has inline POPCNT assembly, so I can identify when it's no longer useful to have the inline assembly.

(Though I used AVX2 if available, I've also read that some of the AMD processors have several POPCNT execution ports, so may be faster than using AVX2 for my 1024-bit popcount case. I have the run-time option to choose which to use, if I ever have access to those processors.)

Furthermore, my code generation has one path for single-threaded use and one code path for OpenMP, because I found single-threaded-using-OpenMP was slower than single-threaded-without-OpenMP and it would crash on multithreaded macOS programs, due to conflicts between gcc's OpenMP implementation and Apple's POSIX threads implementation.

The AVX2 popcount is from Muła, Kurz, and Lemire, https://academic.oup.com/comjnl/article-abstract/61/1/111/38... , with manually added prefetch instructions (implemented by Kurz). It does not appear that SIMD Everywhere is the right route for me.

Engineers only build what they are _told_ to build, it's naive to think any employee (even the all-powerful engineer) has the freedom to make decisions about how the business will operate.

In truth engineers often push back on features and business practices that seem sketchy and unethical. Their in-demand skill set and good salaries allow them to be more assertive and demanding of their supervisors/employers, but they are also just employees and have limited power to affect change.

That's just a truism at any tech company.

I think you misunderstand - they're saying that the doctors would elect to receive less treatments than the average patient if they themselves were sick - presumably because they are well aware of the low likelihood of success and the brutality of going through it.

I'm not a physician, either, but this rings true with experiences from my own life, were people I knew who were doctors decided early to stop treatment and let the disease run its course (and subsequently passed away).

It’s a reasonable question to ask what’s the effect of millions of people in cell-less areas who now can make a AFAIK SOS with no other context. I assume Apple has discussed this with various authorities however.

Some of these effects are already seen with cell phones. OTOH while no panacea, cell phones can help when someone is in genuine danger.

Genies and bottles and all that. Of course authorities may get more liberal with levying significant fines for people who get rescued because they were unprepared.

I've found that the best starting point understanding money and banking is understanding that all money is very literally, nothing more, nothing less than debt. Your "money at bank account"? Very fundamentally, nothing but a credible statement from the bank that they owe you the amount of money. Obviously, you do not need to have any assets in the first place to make the statement. To make it credible is a bit more difficult trick.
problems with MBT:

1- it contradicts the multiple-selves theory (which is based on science and backed by personal experience and observation.). You have your "good" self, your "private" self, your "evil" self, your "social" self, etc.

2- the human personality is subject to many variables to behave consistently across any given length of time (Bandura's formula). Same settings with a different music background and level of blood in our sugars might produce different outcomes.

3- the illusion of appearances: a person might appear as x but actually be y. I appear an extrovert but I am deeply introverted; it is not my fault that the people around me can't see it.

4- people are trainable. any set of traits and personality adjustments can be taught and trained under rigorous conditions. I became a dog person in 2021 even though for 30+ years my hair would stand on my back when the cutest puppy would appear in my social radius. Now I actively seek the most badass dogs others walk outside and pet them.

5- deep prejudicial and otherwise core personality traits are set in childhood, in the "parent ego state" and are not easy to remove or deprogram. These core traits stem from the millions of situations and interplay of various variables in childhood. labeling them into five neat categories is like classifying the plant world into five "basic" types of plants (which is totally unscientific) and naive.

Automated recommendation algorithms really have a lot to answer for. The humans running the tool need to have the output shoved back in their faces - "you are suggesting that people should watch this?"

Hi HN,

Our project is Logto, an open-source solution that helps you build the sign-in, auth, and user identity within minutes.

The first public beta launched two months ago, and it is incredible that many people love our project and are willing to contribute even before our “Bounty Hunter” series. The community contributed translations of Français, Türkçe, 한국어, and Português, along with connectors for Azure AD, Kakao, Naver, and Discord.

We cannot be here without the community’s help, and we’d like to hear more from you. Feel free to let us know if Logto can help you or what you expect from Logto. Cheers!

(VENT) Searching for my first job, being disappointed by location
I am searching for my first real job, after a short academic career, and I am being disappointed by the location of a lot of interesting jobs. I am more interested in niche topics like optimization, simulations, numerical mathematics, but also more general ones like machine learning. Unfortunately I am having to cross most otherwise exciting potential companies out because the location just sucks.

Remote: First of all, remote is now trendy so to get it out of the way. I just hate communicating remotely. If something cannot be conveyed through email, then I need to meet in person. Video chat somehow does not work. Plus I need the office environment for networking reasons.

Small cities: Here is my problem with small cities. I do not want to move to your small city just for your company. What do I do in three years when I want to advance? Uproot my life again and move to another city? No thanks. Also social, networking, career and even hobby opportunities are limited. Unfortunately lots of companies in the niches I prefer are founded by middle aged men, who prefer living in small cities. I would also prefer that if I was a settled middle aged man, but I'm not.

University cities: University cities can be either great or terrible, depending on what kind of people the university attracts. Unfortunately, when a university city becomes known as a tech hub, it ruins the local culture. I do not want to feel like I am surrounded by tech coworkers everywhere I go.

Very big cities: Is what I prefer. However it is a compromise. They come with their own challenges. High cost of living. Lots of foreigners, make the local culture and in particular personal relationships transient. However at least, one can reasonably expect to be able to find new career opportunities within the same city. Social and networking opportunities are also highest in these locations.

Finally salary: Employers in less popular areas pay less, because of the lack of other opportunities in the region. Hello? What? I am already taking a penalty to move to your desolate region. Now you pay me less on top of that? Rubbing salt in the wound.

There is no point to this post. It is just a rant. If you are an employer you might understand why you're finding a hard time attracting talent.

I guess if you want a take away: salaries only consider cost of living, but should also consider social and future career opportunities in the equation. Yes I can rent for much lower, but I will also find it hard to advance in my career and living in this location is just less rewarding.

I'm exploring such a concept, NanoFusion.

A study device and thinking from first principles about the reaction.

There are higher energy reactions like proton-boron that emit only light and charged particles. Eric Lerner's Focus Fusion approach taught me about that.

I'm looking at parallel delivery of single photons and how that scales as laser systems develop. Lasers themselves are on an exponential curve, so that seems promising.

Fusion batteries would be cool!

I never understand these complaints about parenthesis, my editor takes care of them. Interestingly people never complain about the inconsequences in mathematical notation, i.e. infix operators like plus or minus (e.g. 3+5), postfix operators like faculty (i.e. 9!) and last but not least prefixed user defined funtions like f(x).

But as Lisp was my first real language, I might be a bit biased. And besides Lisp I like languages like Forth or Postscript, and even Perl ;-)

Who cares about all this? The work or not work is not an end. It's a means to an objective. I want to move the world closer to what I want it to be. I have a theory for what I need to do for that and it's going to take work.

Out there I'm sure is my antipode, someone who is taking a different path to the same objective. I'll let them do that way and I'll do this way and let whatever works work.

But for me it's hard work and if I don't finish it, power up my kids so that if this is what they want to do they'll have a head start.

Async-rdma v0.4: A rust lib for writing high performance net apps simply
Life expectancy is calculated from the mortality statistics of the recent past: the share of newborns that made it to one year old, one-year olds that made it to two years, etc. etc. accumulated to get the probability of a newborn making it to age X and then dying, assuming conditions stay the same (which they never do).

"At birth" just specifies the starting age. You could also look at life expectancy at 5 to exclude infant mortality, or even life expectancy at 69, though that won't tell you about the future survival of any particular 69-year-olds any more than life expectancy at birth tells you about the future survival of babies born today.

So the drop in life expectancy in countries with many covid deaths is likely to be followed by a jump back up as the number of covid deaths decreases, while China might experience something similar depending on how the current trend of increasing case counts develops.
I own airpods max and so far I didn't notice anything special about them. They're just ordinary headphones. They have noise suppression, but it's hardly a unique feature. Head tracking is a gimmick and I disabled it almost immediately.

Absolutely agree. Pure clickbait.
This ignores our role in the matter (through government), instead blaming some evil non-descript entity (the people who "control" it and make "profit"). The people you rail against didn't decide the "profit" wasn't enough, there probably wasn't any profit in it at all at a price point people were willing to pay (if they were willing at all to ingest a sensor). Which implies that the only way to make it available to people is to subsidize it collectively, or give it away through charity, so why didn't we make it available for people?
Do brands expire? If I saw a Compaq tablet in the store I'd think "Yuck, that's a 90's brand, I wonder how crappy the tablet will be!".

If airpods had mute buttons, tons of people would complain about accidentally muting themselves. People already have mute functionality in the paired device's OS and the app they're using. Adding mute functionality to a third place just increases confusion. And worse: if you build it how you're suggesting (purely in-headphone, without notifying the paired device), people won't have any indication that they're muted other than a one-time audio cue. They'll end up toggling mute/unmute in Zoom and/or their device's OS, then assume that the headphones are broken. It's a UX nightmare.
It being explicit/arbitrary makes it more confusing, not less. At least most languages with variable shadowing, there's a block of some sort that defines the scope. Here it'd just be anywhere that it can change meaning.
It's funny because in Germany we have a similar phrase "swallowing the toad". I think the idea is to swallow them whole. I think French cuisine generally only serves frog legs, not whole frogs?

I think a CLA that says "You provide us with an additional license to re-publish your code under any license we choose" with modifications to limit attribution, might work. That way the code is perpetually AGPL, but the company is free to offer derivative works under other licenses. Hence you can always use your code, you can fork, you can do all you want, and the company cannot take the code, as it stands at that point, away from the public.
I think it may be you feeling overly cynical.

I was using this style of enquiry with new hires 20+ years ago as a natural step to ensure we would get the best out of them - it just seemed like an obvious thing to do.
