The group working on it, (Valentin, Tim Holy etc) agree with you, which is why we are tending to call it TTFX(time to first X) instead of TTFP, so it includes everything, not just plotting. It's just that when plotting the delay is very visible.
> they continuously cycle on/off and have worn out the bearings

Does cycling a fan on/off wear bearings faster than being on all the time? Naively I would have assumed that bearing wear is a function of time enabled and speed, with # of spinups a negligible factor.
That's why we need to sign the signs.

I suspect as these ports get faster, flow control is going to be more important. I had a network issue on my local homelab that required enabling flow control to work around. This was particularly annoying on the UniFi interface as I had to drop back to a legacy interface to even find it.

I glide quite a bit, so I'm VERY interested in low level micro climate.

Is there a really no use in having higher resolution for modeling the boundary layer?

It seems like having a mountain covered in tiny barometric and temp sensors could at least validate a lot of what we think we know about the boundary layer.

I personally would love to be able to see what the temperature at the bottom and top of a given topographic feature is, as well as how atmospheric pressure is deviating from pure altitude differences.

I build instruments for gliders so I know that the sensors in our phones are capable of incredibly fine resolution. Is there really no use for billions of high resolution data points in climate science?
Nobody thinks nepotism is good (or at least, nobody on this thread does). But there are more- and less- threatening versions of it.
I've seen commentary that links the idea of elite overproduction to the rise of preoccupation with diversity within business and more generally within the culture.

That's how I took the parent's comment, anyway, and that nepotism was additionally involved in the anecdote just substantiates the elite overproduction argument.

> The point is that bicycling is not realistic outside of very, very dense cities

Bullshit. I grew up in a small village -- 300 people or so live there. It's a couple of kilometers from two other villages in the 2000-500 range. There's one school for the area shared between the villages. The daycare I went to was located in one of the other villages. I biked (alongside my parents) for 5 kilometers on non-separated roads to get to daycare at the age of 4. I biked first 2 kilometers to school every single day until 7th grade where I then had to bike 12 kilometers each way. It sounds tough if you don't bike. If you've done it your life whole it's just a mode of transport. Taking 30-40 minutes on the bike was faster than taking the bus too.
One alternative solution to that problem is a folding bike, then you can just take it inside with you. Some even fold into something like wheeled luggage, if you needed to take it inside a grocery store and not just your office.
I think it's feasible, one way or another AI would disrupt papers.

"...For all the other vaccine deals struck by the EU between 2020 and 2021, a joint team comprising officials from the Commission and seven member countries conducted exploratory talks.

...But this established procedure was not followed in the case of the EU’s biggest contract, the Court of Auditors says. Instead, von der Leyen herself conducted preliminary negotiations for the contract in March, and presented the results to the steering board in April.

>were considered 'not artists' by a lot of people at the time.

You make a good point that the trend of automating art is not a recent one.

At some point I think a line in the sand must be drawn where the human artist is no longer the primary conceptualizer.

Writing a text prompt is a fair place for that line to be drawn in my opinion.
Ok captain cocksure, this being month one:

What was practitioners in the field of computer generated art able to do in month minus one, how has this changed subtstantively, and do they offer any experience, criticism or understanding of the practice that might still apply? If not, which and why?

That just works (at least since Unifi solidified the firmware for dealing with funky fiber PPPoE situations).

This is a whole industry in China. There are buildings in Shenzhen with hundreds of vendors selling scavenged storage and memory chips, because those are highly standardized. And discontinued chips from the 80s and 90s are salvaged and sold on ebay and AliExpress so people can repair their old electronics. I've even seen broken laptops get their CPUs desoldered and turned into desktops with custom adapter boards. They're incredibly creative when there's profit to be made.
Why would I want that?

Even if I like Taylor Swift, what would be the point?
Why wouldn't they be on the same circuit? The monitor and computer are in the same room and would generally be plugged into the same outlet. I think this would be the rule rather than the exception.

I'll do you one better. Behold - the communist superblock where I spent half of my childhood:

https://www.google.pl/maps/@52.1409132,21.0491488,16z/data=!...

Without going over a single pedestrian crossing you can reach a:

-school(grades 1-8, with a soccer and basketball field available to the public) and kindergarten

-mini-mart

-clinic

-dentist

-playground

-culture center

-hairdresser/barber

-tire shop/car wash

-mini spa which somehow is still there after 25 years.

Bars and cafes are across the street. The grassy area in the northern part is used for festivals and the like in the summer.

Note how almost all the parking spots are around the superblock.

All that without being a human pile-up like Barcelona because - and I can't stress this enough - that is not a requirement for having a decent, walkable neighbourhood.
> Typing something (URL etc) and accessing the latest version of an app, with latest content, and knowing that everyone else in the world is getting the same thing.

This is why I prefer managing the software I use myself. Upon first receiving a new version of a web app, I have never tried it or had a chance to review the changes to figure out how they affect my workflow. With software installed natively with my package manager, I have a chance to review everything and update only the software I want to update.

I read the full piece and didn't encounter any phrasing like that. A few things were pushing the envelope, maybe? Haven't been at Uni for a long time, but after reading about the Oberlin case my eyes/ears are open.

Suppose it is problematic if the author does indulge in that, but am not going searching for it. Found this piece reasonable on the whole. It does have an opinion on intolerance, and not everyone is going to like it.
As an example of the shoe being on the other foot, institutionalized nepotism in university is called legacy admissions and overwhelmingly benefits white applicants.

Yeah, that's the price of retaining your American citizenship, which is among the most valuable in the world to have if you ever have a "I need to call my consulate" problem. But you don't have to retain your American citizenship--there are a lot of countries out there!

Granted, that's assuming you're a valuable enough contributor to society that you'll find another country interested in taking you, one that won't similarly have expectations around "people in a society should pay taxes", but that's a you problem.
That's a good insight, and I think being asked to think deeply about these things is also good, but I'm skeptical that this activity in this specific context really leads to any sort of honest introspection.

To me at least, it feels loaded with expectations that you answer a certain way. I mean, you are almost certainly going to be judged (or at least feel judged) based on what you write, so that undermines the incentive to be truly honest with yourself.

> But China can continue to improve the quality of life for Chinese people if they don't do anything really stupid and end up isolated like Russia.

This is extremely unlikely. Half (HALF!) of China's 1.2B people will be dead by 2050. The CCP is almost certainly doomed to fracture/fail due to this factor alone. Additionally, Xi has elevated himself to cult-leader like status and killed every person who ever brought him bad news. No nation run like that will succeed for long.

Lastly, China imports vast quantities of food and oil and has a tiny navy. They are wholly dependent on the outside world - a point that Peter explores in greater depth in his earlier books.
I'd wager it's because Linux is a relatively small subset of Framework users. And then ARM would be a very small subset of those users. There's nothing stopping a third party from creating one, but I highly doubt the financials would make sense.

This was my experience in schooling two decades ago. I had the same teacher for Grades 1, 4 and 7. This teacher and I did not work well together and I noticeably got worse grades in grades 4 and 7 than I had in the surrounding years.

I am sure the teacher was sick of me by the third year as well.
Structuring though is one of the dumbest, laziest and most arbitrary law ever. If you say that the limit is, say, max 100 K USD for something but plan to attack for structuring the person who did 5 times 100 K USD, then simply make the law clearer: make the law say 100 K USD max and, say, max 200 K USD over five years. But don't come after people who did respect the numbers written in the law for "structuring".

It's another crazy concept of overreaching states and IRSes enjoying way too much power. They can arbitrarily decided what's structuring and what is not. Arbitrary decisions aren't how a democracy should work.

You want to prevent people doing these kind of transfers? Make it clear what the limits are. Don't come after people doing precisely what the limit allows several times: precise it can only be done once or x times over a certain time period.

That's by the way, how some laws do work. For example in France you're allowed to give your kids up to 150 K EUR of real estate (or something), tax and inheritance tax free, once every 15 years. After 15 years you're free to do it once again.

But putting limits and then attacking people respecting the limits? To me it's the sign of something deeply rotten in the state and that such laws exists isn't something that should be cheered.
Where did you infer OP was talking specifically about software development? The question states “remote jobs” which can refer to any number of knowledge worker positions.

The thing people might not realize is that when you're exerting yourself, your body generates plenty of heat to keep you warm - it's really just a matter of keeping that heat contained. It's more akin to doing a winter sport like skiing, snowboarding, etc. than it is to sitting passively in a car.
> If someone is doing ML or video editing and the software is not using the GPU for most parts of the workflow, I'd like to invite that person to 2022.

That sounds like a pretty strong statement, so I decided to try it out on some hardware from the last 5 years (an AMD GPU with VCE 3.0 and a 6/12 core/thread AMD CPU), in particular, encoding the same video: 1080p, 30fps with similar quality settings.

Here are the results for various encoders (using ffmpeg, through Handbrake and/or Kdenlive):

How File Size Time
CPU h264 105 MB 03:15
GPU h264_amd_vce 198 MB 03:22
CPU h265 99 MB 07:44
GPU h265_amd_vce 361 MB 04:36
CPU mpeg4 102 MB 02:07
CPU mpeg2 72 MB 02:04
CPU vp8 55 MB 06:13 (low CPU usage, <50%)

Seems like the quality settings don't actually mean much across different encoders, so these results aren't that conclusive in regards to comparing the codecs against one another, however one can surmise out that GPU isn't an order of magnitude ahead of CPU in regards to video encoding, at least on mid tier consumer grade hardware.

That probably changes on more specialized or recent hardware (something newer than VCE 3.0), or things like the aforementioned ML.
Sure, but eventually we’re going to hit on environmental and cost-effective power limits of training, and it’s not worth the cost to train the model.

That one student should be able to switch to a different group. If all want to switch then there's a problem with the instructor.

Let's look at the opposite end of the spectrum. Student loves an instructor but is needlessly switched to someone new. My point though is that the flexibility to change or stay in the same group should exist.
Yeah, afaik HFT folks also disable GC and just restart the app, or even the machine, at the end of the day.

Java game devs are also fond of object pools, to my knowledge: they do as much allocation as possible at the start of a game level, and then avoid it until the level ends.
Right, but the cars that are scanning signs and will have the ability to read said code are the ones being suggested that they should consult this database to avoid errors. If they're consulting it to avoid errors, they could just use it directly

Hmm. I thought what the comic was aiming at was not

"Even though I have seen a proof, I still cannot really believe that it works"

but

"Even though I have seen a proof, I don't feel that I fully understand why it works"

and I think the latter is because (so far as I can currently tell) there isn't any simple way to see at a glance that it works. You just have to do the calculation.

(I am not sure whether I am actually disagreeing with you here. It depends on what you mean by "completely unreasonable". I would not, personally, at all say that it feels completely unreasonable that the algorithm works.)

Compare, e.g., a different multiplication algorithm: "Russian peasant multiplication", the thing with the doubling and halving. (Look it up if not familiar.) This is another technique where at first glance you might be completely baffled. But with this one, you can, once you understand what's going on, pretty much see at a glance how and why it works. (It's just binary. The halving and checking for remainder delivers the bits of one number, least significant first. The doubling gives you the other number times powers of 2, starting from 1. You add the 2^k.n values corresponding to bits 2^k present in the binary representation of m.)

You could write that explanation out in a form that looks like calculation, but I don't think you should. Once you see the idea behind it, the only need for the calculation is to verify that there isn't an off-by-one error or something.

In contrast, for the Polish hand thing, there isn't (so far as I know) an explanation that doesn't involve calculation, and (for me) the calculation is a bit too big to fit comfortably in my working memory. So there's the sense of "I can see that this is right but I can't see it at a glance, even though the thing it's proving is rather simple", and that's the nearest thing I have to a "but whyyyyyyy?" reaction.

For me (as for you) d/dx log x = 1/x doesn't provoke the same reaction, and I think there are two reasons. 1. The thing being proved is a bit less elementary so there's not so much temptation to expect something "obvious". 2. The explanation isn't very calculation-heavy; to whatever extent you understand it, what you've got is a series of basically-simple steps leading to the conclusion. (For instance, if you're happy to start from d/dx exp x = exp x, then you really can see at a glance that d/dx log x = 1/x, because since log and exp are one another's inverses their graphs are one another's reflections in the line y=x. No calculation at all required.)
Which is for most usecases quite easy, it doesn't really exist outside of the apple ecosystem at the moment.
They should always auto negotiate down to whatever the slowest direct link in the chain is. So like if you connect a 2.5Gbs port directly to a 1Gbps switch then the driver should negotiate it down to 1Gbs.
Skyscrapers in Tokyo are similar to this. Subway stations connected to the basement, retail and restaurants in some floors and office or residential above.
Many cars are well-proofed against outside noise (like the Infiniti I used to drive.)
I don't remember a single post-Soviet school which did not do that.

Sometimes your teacher gets replaced for one reason or another, but unless that happens, the default is that a given subject (such as maths) is taught by the same teacher from beginning (middle tier school) to the end.

Students end up informally calling their teachers by the subject since threre is no ambiguity - "the geographian" or "the english".

The president has much discretion here. That was the whole idea of IEEPA. I think the best case outcome of this lawsuit to crypto is that courts just toss it. Worse case is that IEEPA is effectively amended to say that a DAO is a person.

Show HN: Dark Mode Resumes for Engineers
We built and launched Dark Mode resumes at Leet Resumes:
https://www.leetresumes.com/blog/leet-resumes-dark-mode

It's fun, a way to stand out, and uses the same proven resume format we're known for.

Engineers may find this format particularly interesting because software development adopted dark mode decades ahead of the general user.

It's worth noting that I launched Leet Resumes on Hacker News almost 2 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25678568

The basic idea is that we write great professional resumes for free - tips appreciated. We started in technology only and have expanded to all resumes since.

A post I wrote also appeared here on Hacker News 'What a great technical resume can do for you':
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25092880

As I mentioned in that earlier Show HN, "we believe in being transparent, open, data-driven, and helpful, so let me know what you think!"
GrapheneOS adds a permission to chromium on android so you can manually allow websites to have their javascript JIT'd. Most websites are plenty quick without the JIT although SPAs like Tinder and Google Maps did struggle without it.
Sure. I absolutely agree.

But let's not pretend that Silk Road is some panacea saying "Hey, violence-free drugs!"

I tend to be on the legalization side of the spectrum but the notion of Silk Road as some humanity-improving place, versus a method of making Ross rich is definitely in need of citation.

I think the hope is that this could be a situation like CommonMark and Markdown, where google's implementation will continue to exist, but that the community just totally moves over to this new specification / tooling, and that anytime someone says "protobuf", they don't even necessarily realize that Google has a thing, they just know this specification.
