None of the relevant standards say anything about how math functions are supposed to behave in the non-standard DAZ/FTZ modes (because they're non-standard). The second you set the bit, you step off the path of being able to complain about any behavior not documented by the library.

> In some prospective cohort studies, associations have been reported between artificially sweetened beverage consumption and increased risk of obesity or weight gain.8228586 Low calorie sweeteners (from beverages, table top sweeteners, and foods) were associated with obesity in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey87 and abdominal obesity in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Ageing.88 A cross-sectional study also found that consumers of diet soft drinks had greater waist circumference.8

It took a LONG time to get to the actual meat of the question. The whole time I was reading the study I was asking myself "wait how are they controlling for the uncountable ways to increase CVD risk".

I think they answered their own question. It's entirely plausible that the correlation between obesity and CVD is the actual explanatory variable and correlation they found is spurious. More studies should be done for sure. But from my non-biology view point often times occam's razor is better than a very expensive study. In this case we already know there is a strong correlation between diet drinks and obesity. Not because of the diet drinks, per se, but because a shocking number of people don't realize that drinking a can of diet coke doesn't undo the pizza you just ate.
> I tried to answer this question in my research. In other words, if we can make a mess in 100, 200 or 500 years (take your pick, we started burning oil a long time ago),

Start from ~1880 or so, look at the records for (deep underground) oil consumption (as opposed to whale oil) and watch the consumption rates slowly ramp up with the adoption of cars, the industrialisation of WWI and WWII, and the post war boomer era ... it's not so much the "burning oil" that is the issue, it's the sheer scale of it once it really ramped up.

> .. We need a ridiculous amount of energy and resources to fix this. Most people think local/laboratory, when, in reality, this has to be viewed at a planetary scale.

Regardless of the vast base material tonnages and time to decay, compress, and transition that funnel INTO a barrel of oil, what's at issue is the percentage of that barrel that finds it way into the atmosphere as C02 and the means by which we can reduce that total and means by which we can extract C02 over the Holocene mean quantities.

I'm not sure how your hard numeracy | physics | technical paper reading is, but have a look at the mean estimate of daily global energy consumption by humans (petawatts) and the daily energy fall on earth from the sun .. now you have an order of the energy at play here.

Yes, this is "moving Mt. Fuji" scale engineering that needs to take place across the planet, yes there are existing companies that already work at this scale - the daily energy and material needs of human consumption are met by the likes of Rio Tinto, BHP, Exxon, BP, et al.

Two decades isn't the timescale for a complete fix, two decades is the time to make a hard start on getting stuck into breaking the back on attack of a hard problem .. bear in mind the problem grew exponentially over 100 years from sweet FA to ever more every day, the pullback has the advantage of already having industry at scale, the challenge is to address the solution.

Re: your [0]

This is an Oak Ridge PR release (not the core technical papers) announcing they have a better grasp on part of the preexisting "non human status quo" carbon cycle - this is good to know and useful, but isn't carbon | methane emissions that are causing the "increase over the norm" that we have seen, this is "the norm" that acts as the reference base.
Microsoft needs to be on your list. They sit on tech advances the exact same way Ma Bell did.
This doesn't make sense. They bought Minecraft 8 years ago, and it's grown by an order of magnitude since then. It's a huge cash cow for them. In what way is that consistent with the "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy from 26 years ago, when they had an entirely different leadership team and business model? How is this not just a dumb move on their part, and actually part of some master plan to ... what... lose money?
As an example, I recently saw Full Metal Jacket on 35mm. The last Boot Camp scene, the one in the bathroom, while unsettling in any context becomes positively haunting in 35mm. The lower light conditions introduce artifacting even in digital, but the slightly wobbly frame motion and the scratches and dust marks exaggerate that artifacting further. The resulting image is almost expressionistic, as though reality has become so horrifying our very perception of it is starting to breakdown. The same sort of effect recurs with the sniper at the end of the film. In between, the rougher, less pristine frames create a sense of grittiness that amplifies the mood of the film. In short, I thought seeing Full Metal Jacket on 35mm was a fully superior experience over watching it on digital (although I’ve only seen digital presentations of it at home and not in a theater).

48" in circumference, not diameter. The [edit: South] SF Municipal Code defines "protected tree" by circumference, whereas the Marin County Code defines it by diameter. To emphasize the similarity between the codes I cited to 15" in diameter, but then to be precise quoted 48" circumference in the parenthetical.

Also, I just realized that I was quoting from the South San Francisco Code. https://library.qcode.us/lib/south_san_francisco_ca/pub/muni...

Edit: SF Code is less strict than South SF or Marin. SF has "significant" and "landmark" trees. The former is 12" diameter or greater and within 10 feet of a public right of way. The latter is by individual designation only, AFAICT. See https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/san_francisco/latest/s... and https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/san_francisco/latest/s...

This is mentioned directly in the article:

Taichi vs. Numba: As its name indicates, Numba is tailored for Numpy. Numba is recommended if your functions involve vectorization of Numpy arrays. Compared with Numba, Taichi enjoys the following advantages:

Taichi supports multiple data types, including struct, dataclass, quant, and sparse, and allows you to adjust memory layout flexibly. This feature is extremely desirable when a program handles massive amounts of data. However, Numba only performs best when dealing with dense NumPy arrays.
Taichi can call different GPU backends for computation, making large-scale parallel programming (such as particle simulation or rendering) as easy as winking. But it would be hard even to imagine writing a renderer in Numba.

I was a projectionist at a local 14-plex for a couple of years back in college. It was a really excellent job for getting homework done while the machines buzzed in the background. I miss the simplicity and meditative quality of threading the machines and keeping everything on schedule, and often find myself wishing I could retreat to a job like that again. The occasional brain wrap (or worse, a thrown film) always kept us on our toes, but otherwise it was generally low stress and gave me plenty of time to think about whatever hobby I was into at the time :)
Thanks for sharing the only actual piece of commentary I can find from the company.

Reading between the lines, this suggests that they've decided to use an external firm to cover these security domains (for now). Without knowing which firm or firms we obviously can't say anything specific about their reputations, but I will say that I know some individuals who operate in this space and there are some very qualified and talented outside security firms out there.

However, the good firms aren't cheap. Obviously we can't know the details, but I wouldn't assume this move was motivated by cost-cutting reasons. Keeping a top-notch outside security firm fully involved could easily cost more than the salaries of the people who were let go.

I don't want to single anyone out, but a quick glance through LinkedIn leaves me somewhat confused about their former security team's structure. I could be missing something, but the only lead I found on LinkedIn was listed as "acting head of security" with a description that they were covering the Head of Security position for now. It's possible that the security team were good engineers, but maybe not the exact engineers/managers that Patreon needed at this stage of their development. Some times a mismatch like that really can't be overcome easily, so employing a known external firm can cover the gaps while the company tries to find a better match for their security leadership needs internally (if they return to internal at all).

This move could make even more sense if Patreon was aggressively heading toward IPO. In this case, the company would need to demonstrate that they've done their due diligence and made a best effort to cover security as best they can, even if that means paying exorbitantly for an external firm that has helped prepare companies for IPO in the past. If their internal security team didn't have this experience (and maybe didn't even have an official head of security) then they didn't stand a chance.

That's good. Scrum manager as a crontab:

You have a dog right? I thought so. See you., 10%: The [CEO;CTO;COO] is pissed. The velocity is not on target. I'm not saying this to anyone in particular but I am saying this to all of you. There's going to be a retrospective and I'm not sure what we are going to say. Look I got another meeting. See you.]"

Every Tuesday & Thursday: "[90%: Look I don't have much, you guys know what your working on I'm not gonna waste your time; 10%: The [CEO;CTO;COO] is pissed. The velocity is not on target. I'm not saying this to anyone in particular but I am saying this to all of you. There's going to be a retrospective and I'm not sure what we are going to say. Look I got another meeting, feel free to stay on if ya'll have anything to talk about.]

Do you honestly believe that fusion power plants smaller than ITER (500MW thermal) could ever be economically viable, or are you just playing devils advocate?

Because your chart cements my point: Power produced by coal plants smaller than ITER (<500MW thermal output, or <250MW electrical power in your chart) is negligible because building those makes evidently no sense economically (almost all installed capacity is in big plants).

And thats with coal where building smaller actually reduces operating cost from fuel (unlike fusion) plus needs no vacuum chamber, cryocooling or dealing with neutron activation...

> No one asked for this, but it is "the latest technology", so just get it.

I for one asked for "smart speakers", bought two and the RPi kit that came from Google.

You seem to be arguing that providing monetizable data to the service provider is hidden and the most relevant part of the exchange. I'd disagree on both fronts: it's not all black or white and actually improving someone's life matters, a lot.

It's way more relevant that a small kid can orally ask what's a "gold fish" and get an explaination than the consequence that aquarium stuff get suggested in the youtube results.

It's always a tradeoff, and overly focusing on the monetized part on a day to day basis only leads to madness.
Are you seriously arguing that Microsoft is intentionally trying to "extinguish" it's own IP? I realize that "Embrace, extend, extinguish" is a hopelessly tired and outdated meme, but trying to freshen it up by arguing they've now reached a level where they are intentionally trying to kill their OWN products as part of some grand and 30-year-in-the-past EEE "plan" is simply absurd.

Human society is not built on objectivity. It’s built on determining a “winner”.

Private property creates subjective use of property. What objective social good is coming from private monopoly and erosion of local ecology?

You see arbitrariness but relative to me I see a subjective perspective.

Y’all should really sit and meditate on how flimsy and quickly inverted human language semantics are.

The person seeking to build the house has an objective of subjective behavior that impacts others. You don’t exist in the vacuum you can conjure in your head.

I would hope that the point of security systems would be to make the company secure.

Being bureaucratic and following "proper" procedures ranges from being a way to achieve that goal to being actively counterproductive. It's not exactly rare for a "proper" procedure to be optimized for CYA, compliance or security theater at the expense of actual security!

but somehow the dozens of kobe bryant posts didn't get past you, even though it was just as big of a death and just as on-topic (anything piquing curiosity, right?). i'd suggest being even-handed about these kinds of posts, rather than allowing some to be flagged off the front page because [black, athlete, relentless winner, investor, entrepreneur, oscar awardee, loving father, ... ], would help temper the backlash.

none or all such posts should be allowed, but not the picking and choosing that happens currently, which is highly disrespectful in the same way you're criticizing others here.
The closest we have to that is paper ballots. You can get your ballot a few weeks in advance and vote then. Then, until the “postmarked no later than” date, you can change your vote if so desired.

Ask HN: Advice for a beginner programmer on understanding systems?
I have recently started writing a web scraping bot to learn Selenium and have found that the problems that are truly stumping me are things related to the underlying systems of my computer. For instance, I didn't understand why Selenium was bringing up an import error when I'd definitely installed it. I later found I was using the wrong interpreter in vscode. I'm currently completely stuck on setting up a remote debugging port because I am having issues that I can't find answers for online and have no idea how to debug myself (my localhost won't connect on any browser).

How do I best go about solving problems that are not necessarily "coding" problems, but more related to setting up my system correctly for my code to work? How do I go about finding out what is necessary to learn and what I can ignore?
Agreed, there are several methods to spin a server and it offers a great learning experience for those that don't know it.

To flog a dead horse, I just think saying “VC killed Patreon” is senseless.

Profitability might not matter to the VC investors if they can IPO like Uber.

Patreon has been amazing for small and large content creators, providing a big win for society IMHO, and Patreon seems likely to continue in some form even if they don’t meet the VC growth targets. In a perfect world, things would be different, but there there is little surprising here (which is part of the crux of your point?).

Profitability is almost meaningless for a growing company (see Amazon). Perhaps Patreon turns out to be a loser for the investors, or perhaps a loser for society. But we have to wait and see, and meanwhile take the wins we get.

They have sacked some employees, but employees take that risk on when they join a startup, and those risks are obvious to anyone that is paying any attention.

Sure, VCs make mistakes, often big hurtful ones. That’s part of the game. You are calling the game over, and it isn’t half-time (to stretch some sporting analogies badly), and most importantly: you are a spectator and you are not the ref. As far as I can tell, you don’t understand the rules of the game.
No. Not yet. First we must(!) address the incentive problem in free software (and society) then things like minetest will outcompete things like minecraft naturally. The only reason it doesn't already is because developers can only get paid working on less valuable (read: closed) software. See: https://datalisp.is.
Ledgers can hold assets, not just debts. And not all ledgers have to sum to zero. So unless you can explain something more specific about bitcoin as a ledger, the "ledger" argument fails.
