Ah i remember basically living out of the Sheraton in downtown Palo Alto for the better part of a year thanks to not accepting a permanent move to the bay area. It all seemed so weird at the time.

The sense i got of the place was one who's grandeur had passed. The furniture and the houses there seemed so dated, walking around the neighborhoods exposed all the cracked concrete on the sidewalks and the graffitis under the tunnel leading up University.

Take a short walk and you're in the great lawn at Stanford, such a shame how a beautiful city like that is not treated as it should be. I had far better experiences of public infrastructure during trips to poorer countries. The airport felt ignored, the caltrains felt dated and inefficient on the inside, i don't know. . . it just felt like everyone was waiting for a nuke to level the place and rebuild better than making it better right now.
The most inflationary currency in history, pegged to a gold standard:

Economies are complicated dynamical systems, I think we can all agree that there are many possible variables in the inflation equation.
It works sometimes. Just like any other form of advertising.

As an avid internet user, my mind is automatically turned off to ads on any content I see.

I also blindly ignore the YT ads and focus only on the skip ad button. Strangely, I also ignore the audio, it just doesn't register.

However, If I am researching to buy a product or service, I keep getting shown ads about it everywhere I go to, so I do click on some ads.
Grades are only but one aspect of going to a "top school", the networking associated with it cannot be underlooked. It is likely that the students will create connections with others that may benefit them in the future, the same could be said about the parents too.
Bitcoin is neither a currency nor a store of value. It's just a speculative magic token for punters to bet on and for scammers to scam starry eyed suckers by promising eternal wealth.
Just had to use Firefox remotely (to use WeTransfer to ship a giant file, they dropped support for their cli, grr), and had exactly this issue - it works incredibly slowly over X over SSH. In the end had to use vnc over SSH.

(Note that tightvncserver seems to silently ignore the -localhost option now, which means it's completely insecure to run on an internet connected machine. Tigervnc still has the option)
Back in the day I wrote my own console based mail-client, scriptable with lua. It worked really well for my needs.

I did dabble afterwards with some simple utilities for scripting mail, showing a list of folders, showing a list of messages in a folder, or viewing a single mail.

After spending so long working on my own client I could never be enthusiastic enough to really take it much further, but for reference the tools still work, against a local Maildir hierarchy:

Not naive at all. Certainly, there are a billion products. Group by things that don't matter in the first analysis, and you probably knock it down one or two orders of magnitude. But the consumer knows what they need - and can tell Google. An educated consumer (can we grant them that) will find trusted review sites. That knocks the list down to like ten! At ten, the burden really shifts to the manufacturer to have a quality web site. This, in my opinion, is where most fail.

I’ll use a recent example of my own. I am in the market for new hardwood floors. Some Googling confirmed my believe that engineered hardwood floors are the best option. A couple of good review sites then told me the features that I should care about. From those I also found six candidate manufacturers.

One of them seemed to have a nice product, but their web site was just awful and had literally no information. You had to download hard-copy PDF to get any info – and good luck there. The others were better. One really stood out in the breadth and depth of information provided.

Friday, I emailed the four that made the short-list asking for more information in the context of my specific project.
I have had a similar thought but brushed it off as probably just me going through recency bias, but it does feel like I see their job posts a lot more than many others?
The important part is "rarely clicked". Meaning, you have sometimes clicked on it.

Spread that click amongst billions of users, and you have a good revenue stream.
No it's not possible in a newer LTS (> 20.04, don't have laptop on hand) Ubuntu KDE. There's no scroll speed configuration, as sibling comments discuss. Switching driver to libinput or whatever made it configurable, but other bugs popped up, and suddenly every accidental palm touch sent my cursor clicking somewhere.
How does it demonstrate that? Dylan had funding by the time this conversation occurred. He didn't need the authors money. The article doesn't describe how it is that Dylan acquired his initial funding.

Also important to note that the author was nowhere near as high profile or rich when this occurred as he is today. This interaction happened when Wealthfront was just beginning.
All the people who say that Social Security is in danger usually then elaborately explain that it's in danger because they themselves are going to try their best to dismantle and defund it.
May I say with all humility and honesty, I used to be what I call a "Christian perfectionist". Without going into a lengthy detail, I came to learn that trying to attain some kind of perfection was just a reason to be competitive and a way to judge others because of my feelings of not being good enough from a faith perspective. I now understand that trying to improve is the only compassionate way, both to myself and others. I explain this to other Christians when the opportunity arises, but it is a hard sell to them because we've been told for a long time how to believe.
No, not alone, but no one but those guys would have done what they did. There were many other barefoot boys tending to horses but it was Genghis who got up there and took over half the world. It wasn't the other kids, it was him. And later on it wasn't his generals, but he who oversaw the conquests. They all could have raised armies instead, but, it was actually him with the vision and singular aim.

Same with Jobs and Masayoshi, other people also knew the people they knew, but only they did do what they ended up doing.
Serious question, what about Figma is unique to a cloud app over a desktop app with cloud features? Does it actually do some computations server side? Clearly the Adobes of the world haven't gone whole hog into online first/collaborative editing (and probably never will due to inertia), but one can imagine someone more nimble doing so without running in a browser.

Afaict the uniquely web thing about this product is the lack of install (and to be fair maybe that's a killer feature). Is that it or am I missing something.

OK. I didn't see that. I wonder if they updated it.
Well, Kotlin is from 2011 and Scala from 2004! 11 and 18 years ago, respectively. I'd say neither is recent by any reasonable sense of the word that would imply their syntax or conventions are "a current trend".
Neither have I clicked on any Google ads. I suppose the sheer volume of searches made on Google make up for a 0.000001% click rate (made up number, but point stands).
> That's funny. Whatever happened to vision and innovation? Improving the world and people's lives? Achieving great things through technology? Empowering people? I guess founders only talk about this stuff in the startup stage.

These were lies calculated to help them recruit idealistic young people, who lack the experience to disregard companies making grandiose claims about themselves and their motives.
I consider it valid criticism. It does not need to be a racial issue.

When I was growing up, I was one of the few white kids in my circle of friends. One of the kids was always beating his chest on how the white man is keeping the brown man down. This is exactly the type of nonsense he would bring up.

The pulse oximeter wasn't purposely designed to give false readings to darker people.
High performance datacenter cores will likely remain a niche for the best chip design companies. Architecture mostly matters in that your workload / ecosystem is supported. I can't see this being a place where an open source RISC-V core wins.

Even if you had the complete plans to a top of the range EPYC processor, you would struggle to Fab it, and by the time you were able to do so, it would likely not be valuable.

The problem is DC CPUs are driven by power efficiency. Building the most efficient processors requires the latest manufacturing nodes and incredible optimisation. Generally your chips must be within the last 1-3 generations, the inefficiencies are very noticeable. Power efficiency impacts cooling and density, additionally driving the economics of DCs.

The existing manufacturers have the teams to churn these out, for someone else to join the club it would be a massive investment (just look at home many failed Server Arm companies there have been). You can also see that even companies that have ARM server chips are mostly just tweaking cores provided from ARM, not developing their own from scratch.

Given this I think your unlikely to see this unless the economics change. If one of the cloud giants decided that they aren't getting value with ARM, they might end up developing their own, potentially even using RISC-V as the architecture, but I can't imagine them wanting to share it. Unless you end up with a multi-cloud consortium deciding that its in all their interests to build a common processor in order to turn it into a commodity. In that case you might get an open source core out of it, but the fab problems still remain.
LOL. Did you read the OP? Code is in PHP.
when something needs to run day-in and day-out every day, it is difficult to justify swapping things just because they're old.

as it turns out, old things have stood the test of time and generally work quite well.

vancouver bc upgraded its own train control systems a handful of years ago. unsurprising to anyone who has tried to do a migration, there were service incidents. trains stuck in the middle of nowhere sort of thing.

It's all done, upgraded, and modernized yet. But there is a growing pain and growing cost. The tricky thing to know is when the juice is worth the squeeze.
I think for inference, analogue makes a ton of sense, and within a pretty short timeline (10 years maybe?) we’ll see it deployed for those workloads.

For training, I’m certainly interested but not at all convinced that it will dominate. I work on multiple projects right now where the reduced dynamic range of analogue signals would be a complete non-starter given the problem domain. I’m not sure how they get around that.
Is this a thing that "companies" ask for? Is this referencing something I don't know about?

I have never seen this, it seems like something someone not a native English speaker would write, when I see "gritty people", I think "dirty" or "unrefined", that's what the word "gritty" means to me, I don't know why a company would ask for that.
Anecdotally: when that guy in Wisconsin ran his car through a parade, I was curious what would happen to him. I looked up the relevant parts of the Wisconsin criminal laws, which had a rewrite some years ago. And holy shit they were amazing! So clearly written! So well thought out! This was what it sounds like when lawyers who knew what they were talking about decided to write it down clearly. I salute everyone involved.

At least one lawyer out there can write worth a damn, and (having read some godawful wording in contracts) I wish more would try.
> The teachers cannot fix the public schools, I agree with that. But they shouldn't keep repeating the obvious propaganda like the Great Pencil Shortage :-)

If teachers are shamed into buying supplies for their room, it's not propaganda.

> A half-step in that direction are charter schools, which the teachers unions fight tooth and nail.

Charter schools are pretty complicated from a policy perspective. We're not talking about the same thing in different states. Some of the for-profit charter schools are much worse than public schools. Other areas have sane regulatory regimes that result in an OK product.

Even there, though, students in charter schools do not do better than students who applied for the school but didn't win "lotteries" to get in. That is, the performance benefit seems to mostly be tied to selection effects relating to parental involvement.

> I've never talked with a public school teacher who had anything positive to say about charter schools.

Welp, I'm not a public school teacher, but there is a decent charter school in town.
My new Philips dumb TV just arrived this weekend and I must say I'm impressed with the power draw. In default calibration, it draws 24w. But since it's in the bedroom and is only used at night, I've set it to ultra-eco mode and lowered the brightness for night viewing. Now the TV along an Amazon Fire TV stick powered by its USB port draw a combined 13w! In standby mode, the power draw doesn't even register on my meter.
I was in a relationship for 18 years.
Besides I think they’d be more well rounded working a well paying trade for example than going tens to hundreds of thousands in debt hanging out in echo chambers and coming out with no marketable skills.

Ask HN: Which software engineering books will not be irrelevant in 5-10 years?
In a previous post [1], some people suggest that they only buy physical books "where the information will be relevant for a long time."[2]

In your opinion, which software engineering books fit the description?

I'll start: Fundamentals of Software Architecture by Richards and Ford.[3]

the problem is that Bitcoin mining has to be sufficiently popular for the network to be secure. if the amount of miming ever drops too low, it becomes attackable.
It doesn't help you not get screwed, but at least now you know why you're getting screwed. That's better than nothing.
In the more grass roots advertising industry we are seeing agencies move away from what can be called "performance marketing" in general, which entails the high volume low effort advertising channels such as google and facebook ads. Alternatives are more traditional, real world brand building and engaging with communities in a real sense, running events and getting involved in the spaces their customers are active.

It shouldn't surprise anyone here that online advertising is wildly saturated and that users are unable to engage with thousands of brand voices a day.
Yes, it's different, and it's a LOT slower, as the teacher goes over it again and again and again and again and zzzzzzzz......

I missed the first 3 months of 4th grade. The teacher told my mom that they had advanced very quickly, and I could never catch up. I would have to be put back in 3rd grade. My mom said nope, Walter is going in 4th grade.

It was as if I wasn't gone a day. 4th grade had not advanced one iota. Not much to show for 30 hours of instruction per week for three months.

College was a bit different. They blew through 2 years of high school physics in a couple of lectures. This was a tremendous shock to me, and frankly terrifying. I learned I could not afford to miss one lecture, or even be late, let alone 3 months of them.
Is there any difference in performance?
I used to use X11's network transparency features a lot in college[0], but it's been a good 20 years and I haven't used it since -- even once.

I, too, am not comfortable with throwing away such a potentially useful feature (though I believe there's a wayland "protocol" or something that allows for network transparency now), but I personally don't have a need for it.

[0] One of our VLSI design labs was a FreeBSD lab, and the machines there had a bunch of proprietary/paid simulation software on them. It was amazing to be able to ssh in from my dorm room, and run those apps "locally", with access to all my files on the network share. A few of my classmates wondered why I never pulled all-nighters in the lab with them... I never needed to! They all ran Windows at home; back then it was pretty difficult (or at least just kinda unknown) to run an X server on Windows.
+1 for that recommendation
It was a dumb rule from the start. You paid for newspapers and still had ads in them, paid nothing for linux and was nothing part of the product.
To quantify it a bit more, I think I only click on google search ads on the order of once per year. Contrast that with YouTube, where I probably watch 1000 ads per year on that platform.
> everyone is running the newest stuff in the BTC world

That's not true. The profitability of a miner is not measured with their hardware generation but with the energy cost needed to operate them. If you have access to very cheap energy, they can still be very profitable. There is a reason the market price of old mining rigs is not 0.
I think that was actually their point. There will be a RISCV rampage
With the hourly rates and waiting lists I've experienced, I can hardly believe that.
Would be even cooler if the page procedurally generated a new puzzle every time it reloads. Not sure how you would go about procedurally generating nontrivial but possible puzzles; that could be an interesting computer science challenge.

The big problem with "free market schools," BTW, is that the state is the educator of last resort. There's a real adverse selection problem if education suppliers can take $X to educate the most desirable students, leaving $X per student for the most difficult to educate students. A huge proportion of public educational expense is special education.

If you don't want to give up on special education, this is difficult to do.

I favor policies like vouchers for ~33% of public educational cost to be used at private institutions. This is enough to make private education more affordable to many more families (especially with institution financial aid), but could possibly increase resources-per-student for the remaining students in public schools.
Of course your starting point makes it easier or harder. I'm just contesting "how much privilege it [necessarily] takes"
You're willing to hire Rooster Cogburn to bring Tom Chaney to justice for the cold blooded murder of your father.

In all honesty, it's more of an indicator of the kind of management culture. The same goes for the word "resilience". To me, as a software developer, it's a red flag.
Huh, for some reason I'd gotten it into my head that Windows was free to OEMs. But it turns out that that was just a particular version of 8, "with Bing," a while ago. Wild that Windows is a paid product.
Some of the reviewers were conned, some weren't, but they actually have the product in front of them and they're generally honest.

> With Wayland/Sway, none of this works. gdm does not execute ~/.profile, and there's no equivalent to ~/.xsession. Something starts a user-level systemd instance, but its environment variables aren't synced to the compositor, and the compositor doesn't use it to start apps, so $SSH_AUTH_SOCK isn't available in anything I care about.

This probably won't help you, since you say the compositor isn't using the user-level systemd instance to start apps, but in case it helps someone else: I recently faced a similar problem at work (I needed to set the DOCKER environment variable so that unit tests running directly from the IDE could find the podman socket from the user-level podman.socket systemd unit), and solved it by creating a file under ~/.config/environment.d (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/environment...).
Thanks, yes, I meant shouting. I’ve lived in both gated and non-gated. And gated neighborhoods are significantly more quiet.
Here's the critical sentence from your cite:

"It was valued at 12,500 korona, and defined as 3,800 to one kilogram of fine gold – which meant that the pengő was pegged to the gold standard, but without exchange obligation."

Which means it can be inflated at will. The US did the same thing, pegging the dollar to gold, then inflating the paper money. The result was fiscal collapse leading to the Great Depression. The fix was to make it illegal to exchange dollars for gold, making the "gold standard" a complete fiction.
Nice effort, though it'll be better to have a requirements.txt, or even better, a proper Anaconda envionment.yaml file or other virtual env to specify dependencies and their versions.

It's great lots of people are making their code available, but this is really something that always seems to come up for most public python ML repos. It just makes adoption and usage so much harder and frustrating for users.

Separately, how does "converting weights" from eg: Pytorch to Keras work? Are there public converters, is some custom code involved, etc?
Yeah. No different to 2016 losers (Democrats) refusing to accept the results of the 2016 presidential election. They were so committed to reject and overturn the 2016 election, that they ran countless media misinformation campaigns and already debunked stories of foreign interference to bring down the Trump administration.

The same power transfer chaos happened in 2020 when they (Republicans) lost, and ended up attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election, from tons of failed lawsuits to then 'storming the Capitol'.

So it seems that neither side is prepared to accept the results of any electoral outcome and I can only assume that in the US that for them it is a sense of national shame for them to even call themselves a civilised constitutional republic with free and fair elections to do a proper transfer of power.

As I said before:

"Must be going just fine in the greatest republic on the planet; The United States of America."
