When it comes to calculating, RPN seems like it be more direct and correct because it is actually what an expression actually means, a series of steps. Algebra tends to abstract that.

That said, as a once upon a time (and sometimes still) theorist, familiarity makes working with algebra just easier. You also tend to logically group terms together merely because that's how things are written, with multiplication implicit by writing factors together but having to write out the infix + (or -) out and it makes it easier, in some ways to reason about expression in physical[0] way. For example, you see people doing various expansions, like perturbation theory, and then assigning physical meaning to terms (like linear term is simple harmonic oscillator, quardratic is this non-linearity, and so on in the taylor series). This grouping of terms is totally due to the abstraction infix notation gives you.

That said, people get lost in the abstraction and forget it's just steps in a calculation. Forgetting the actual meaning of the notation is where mistakes and confusion about things like convergence and such really stem from (I can flesh out this argument but I'm already rambling here). It also is part of the reason I think that some scientists find programming hard to understand because they are so tied to the mental abstraction of infix notation, whereas infix is literally what happens on a computer anyway, and is thus naturally suited to a programmer's mindset.

So there's value to both, I think. It is a shame though that RPN isn't as widely taught or used as it once was.

[0] physical in the sense of physics interpretation.
People who do stuff that requires tinkering always seem to be spending ten minutes here and there at unpredictable times fixing stuff.

This seems like it should work very well. But... it's hard to imagine there not being some issues.

If nothing else, it will be an issue if you need to quickly do a clean reinstall, every customized thing is an extra few minutes of work, wheras a hack-less plug and play system is almost trivial to remake from scratch.

This could be amazing for a specialized application like a photo booth, but I'm not so sure about just regular desktop use.
I don't know if this is still the case, but Teams has a history of behaving differently based on the user agent presented. I assume they will always want to make it work "better" in Edge.

Having all of the MS junk walled off into its own browser that you use for nothing else isn't a terrible idea either, regardless.
It's like ties in a railroad track, if you find a stride that matches an integer multiple of the tie distance you can run like it was normal ground.

The natural "stride" of an electron might be more than 2.6 nanometers. It could be they swing side to side a bit if the distance isn't quite right.

Some experimentation is now in order.

2.6 Nanometers is about 5 atoms of silicon between peaks.

I'm trying to find out the size of the cell created between sheets of graphene at the "magic angle" of 1.56 degrees.

It may be that you simply need to construct the right geometry between nodes to get superconductivity.

Regardless of the underlying quantum mechanics, there's a large opening for experimental physics here. Are there edge effects, what about grain boundaries, etc.
Is it government mandated? Because everything turns on that. Politicians and government officials are allowed to have opinions, and even state those opinions: that's not a mandate. TFA clearly seems to want to cast these opinions as a mandate enforced by the power of law, but when you squint and try to find the evidence it's troublingly absent.
It’s interesting that since this was written the epic game store was started and I think it’s quite successful. Although, just like the article predicted, epic did it with lots and lots of money.

Thanks, I think when I get more on top of my queue (in terms of ticketing), this'll be an easier sell. We're planning to hire eventually, but I'm not sure when that is.
The five things the tech bubble got right
You mean The European Parlament, or Google?
Tangential, there's some "evidence" suggesting metalheads are happier (on average), music is art right? ;)
You just bop it on the head, and move it to the new machine quickly. By the time the VM comes to it won't even realize that it is in a new home.
Student wins human rights case after prof refused to wear a mic
Transactions are moving to layer 2 solutions like the lightning network.

Individual lightning transactions are not recorded on the blockchain and are not subject to chain analysis.
Did you mean 740k EUR per person? I can't find the whole budget right now, but it costs EU parliament over 100 million just to move it back and forth between Brussels and Strasbourg (which is totally pointless and is only done so that France can feel important). They also apparently spend 1 billion per year on translators.

EDIT: I guess I offended some French people, hence the downvotes :)
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari is an obvious recommendation.

The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell will ruin fiction for you, from the classic myth up to modern storytelling.
I like this!

At the moment, my site has a comment box for users to leave messages on individual pages. But I've no way of sending a message to all pages.

I also like the fact that it doesn't send people off to a different site (like Slack or Discord).

My big question is - where are the messages stored? I'd prefer to keep them on my server rather than yours.
I consider Rice and UT-Austin as two of the best universities in a conservative, red state. But they don't get a lot of respect from coastal elites because they aren't in NYC or SF.
Hmm haven't tested in dark mode. Will fix thanks for the bug)
Definitely the best C++ reference. It's not official in the sense that it is not the authoritative standard text itself, but it is very precise and complete.

It would be pretty trivial to have an invisible watermark in GPT3 output-- though you don't really need one: just score text with gpt3 to find out if it was likely gpt3 generated or not.
Because of this I finally decided to complain to my (Australian) bank about their max 6 character (alphanumeric) no symbol password policy... And lack of MFA for personal accounts... And continuing to only offer OTP via SMS to authorise transactions.

Well, I tried to complain... for you see after going through multiple pages/steps in the UI, when it came time to review and submit, after you press submit you are told that they can't receive complaints online at this time.

So I wrote in the web feedback form instead. At least that went through. As will, I hope, my screenshots of the process to the ombudsman.

In nearly all these microservice components, the UI has an outdated copyright year in the footer. 2016 in the feedback app, 2017 in a preference update component. The year sits right underneath a lock symbol and some text telling you how secure they are.

This tells me a number of things. Either no one has smoke-tested that component for 6 years, or picked up that the year was off, or it has been picked up and left in backlog because of other priorities leaving me to ask what else could be in the aged backlog, but really telling me they don't have the resources to do or to take software or UX seriously.
You know what I got the education I got, I memorized that, there was little new information making it a non-planet. You know those same guys call carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen metals? It's a description. In astronomy, metal means anything greater than hydrogen and helium. Every element but the first two. Change of nomenclature, really, and I guess motivated because of seeing other planetary systems.

The entire Solar System is highly aberrant. Single star, instead of binary star. Then, a moon around earth, very large moon, besides, it is the same size in the sky (varying over time) as the sun, leading to different eclipses (like anular eclipses, which accurately measured a biblical event 4000 years ago, to the day, I think it was a Tuesday). Like everything is very unique, apparently.
The site is very clearly not a complete guide, and has to leave out 90% of what a competent C++ programmer should know about any given topic (in order to remain accessible). I mean, the word "undefined" only appears in two of the examples.

But I'd say it doesn't teach any bad (or outdated) habits, which is a big step up from most tutorials/articles/SO answers.
About 3 years ago I left Silicon Valley after being there for 15 years. I moved to the suburbs outside of another major US city, near where I grew up. I had already been working remote, and especially during the pandemic it felt like a relatively future-proof decision to be outside of the SV network.

Frankly, now I'm not so sure I was right. No other place in the US (maybe in the world) has the amount and magnitude of technical talent and know-how, access to capital, or strength of network to compete with SV right now. Spend some time in SF, or Palo Alto, or Mountain View, and it's immediately obvious. Go to a cafe and people will be talking about tech. Your neighbor is probably in tech. Drive along the highway and you'll see billboards for tech products, and tech office buildings along the highway. Tech is deeply ingrained in the culture, top to bottom.

There is no other place in the US that is like this and the gap for SV is still only accelerating.
We're going to replace an inflation driven recession with a high interest rate caused recession. I won't pretend I know the difference, but there will be a recession either way.

Rising interest rates should help the exchange rate. But it doesn't solve the core issue, it just moves the pain from importers to borrowers. Personally, my own ignorance makes me think that we'd regain productivity if we let the rate fall further (punishing importers, rewarding exporters) rather than increasing rate (punishing borrowers, rewarding lenders). But again, I am no expert and for most people it will make little difference (it just turns inflation of food/fuel prices into inflation of rent/mortgage payments plus a load of job loses).

Either way, we're in for a lost decade because we have spend a decade making decisions that cause lost decades...
100% I think you're right. I've been meaning to have a more defined process for some time now, and plan to get everything into our ticketing system soon. It just always feels like a choice between administrative work and overdue work, and I usually choose the latter. Hopefully when it's all in there I can just spend 10-15 minutes per day to keep it up-to-date.
Nothing. These companies are about making a profit. Anarchy and excess deaths both reduce profits. This explains their actions very easily.
I am pointing out the disconnect of the sensationalized title "Google are cutting staff" from the actual article content. The article states ~100 Google employees are being given couple months to find a new role within Google, and they cite that historically, 95% of employees find new roles within the company when this kind of thing happens.
A similarly mad plan would be draining it. Create a bypass and then pump out the water from the deep pockets and see what's in there.

I imagine there's some political challenges to that, but from an engineering perspective it's old hat. High likelihood of being sued and shut down by the local government, but low likelihood of anyone dying.
I work on Typesense and I can speak to it from Typesense’s perspective.

Typesense holds the entire index in memory, in order to enable fast search where every keystroke returns results in 50-150ms. So it’s built primarily to enable user-facing search.

It’s not a good fit for log search since putting your entire log dataset in memory can become expensive depending on the size of your logs, and you typically don’t need search-as-you-type for log search.

Zinc on the other hand seems to be designed specifically for log search.
> Android has created more choice for everyone, not less

Did it? I can choose between an iOS phone and an Android phone.

I may be able to choose from different manufacturers on the Android side, but on the software side there are just two options.
They won't need to go there, Taku is integrated directly into website/app. So if they are signed up in your system then they have access to Taku
The article does not suggest there was a mandate. It implies there was maybe a mandate but mostly just Biden saying things and the companies listening.
The heart of the issue:

> public admissions by then-White House press secretary Jennifer Psaki that the Biden administration was ordering social media companies to censor certain posts, as well as statements from Psaki, President Biden, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas threatening them with regulatory or other legal action if they declined to do so
More importantly, the Bay Area has Stanford and Berkley pouring out new grads each year, a lot of them stick around.
Flexibility in the sense I basically manage my own Kanban, but you have a point that it is constraining at this point. I like the fact that I mostly manage my own work, and plan to do some more task management to hopefully alleviate some of the pain before I start looking.
I don't believe the narrative was ever "You will not get COVID if you get these vaccines" given the CDC's own study said it was 90% effective against SARS-COV-2 infections.[1]

Omicron and (to a lesser extent) Delta variants changed the game on transmission. They event provided the receipts in April 2021 of a study showing 90% decrease in virus transmission.

You can choose to believe this is narrative but it was backed by evidence.

The broader question about controlling misinformation is a tricky one and government pressuring social media companies into banning people isn't the ideal situation.

However, framing it as people being banned for "Any suggestion to the contrary" is at the best disingenuous. What I saw were people advocating all manner of alternative to the vaccines and spreading disinformation getting banned. A specific instance: Remember all those yarns about how people would now be sterile because of the vaccine? Well, birth rates are now back up to where they were[2] and nobody's shown to have been sterilized because of it. It's one example of just outright misinformation that deserved a ban.

This is the "fire in a crowded theatre" debate in different clothes, and it's a hard argument. If you think of this in terms of pure capitalist viewpoint, maybe instead of the government pressuring social media companies the alternative is that drug companies sue Meta et. al (and users) for defamation and libel. I'm not sure how that's a better system and wouldn't lead to the very same thing happening but it's the only alternative that seems immediately obvious.

I personally doubt it, mostly because Baidu is a similiar boat and hasn't been a spreading competitor of note in that space. Not apples to apples obviously due to several reasons admittedly, but that is most country to country comparisons.
I've naively used millisecond precision things for a long time - not in anything critical I don't think - but I've only recently come to more of an awareness that a millisecond is a pretty long time. Recent example is that I used a timestamp to version a record in a database, but it's feasible that in a Go application, a record could feasilby be mutated multiple times a millisecond by different users / processes / requests.

Unfortunately, millisecond-precise timestamps proved to be a bit tricky in combination with sqlite.
This article is misleading because the author fails to define "censor." The article repeatedly claims "censorship", where apparently none occurred.

If you don't believe me, ask yourself this question:

Does this comment itself "censor" the article in any meaningful way?
I have seen detailing, possibly on HN, a few years back of how tether's asset base was fabricated. The report used intra-day banking movements to show that it was fiscally impossible for tether to be backing their assets at the rate they were minting using the banks they claimed. The report further correlated tether minting to Bitcoin price action. It showed in fairly clear and granular detail how tether was used to pump and subsequently dump Bitcoin and other cryptos. This was back at least 3 years ago. The pump and dump works to allow tether to profit enough to actually get the assets though. And it works until it doesn't. USDT can support Bitcoin price long enough for the minters of tether to extract USD for what they minted as long as their are other buyers getting in.

It is a traditional ponzi scheme but with an additional layer that makes it far more resistant. It's essentially the same thing as government central banking but for crypto and without the threat of violence to control valuations.

Losing 5% of Google's annual profits will absolutely scare the shit out of them.

Consider how much this harms their ability to keep reinvesting the profits into growing the business. A 5% loss is likely sufficient to get them to stop for a moment and rethink their strategy so the punishment won't recur.

> No. Why do you think that is?

Because you lament the lack of a multi-billion dollar fine when the title states that it's a $4B fine. This comes off as nonsensical and disconnected from reality, in a way that triggered "¯\_(ツ)_/¯, maybe it's GPT3".

With that said, I meant it as a joke, not a serious accusation. The likely explanation here is this comes down to the common case of human confusion.

As a tangential aside:

I can only conclude that due to the curse of knowledge, we collectively are overly paranoid about bot commenters on HN. I was just accused of being a bot just two or three days ago.

Cheers and take care.
Eh the animation was choppy at best. There are a few scenes throughout where it's obvious resources were poured into, but most of it feels like a glorified high def animatic. Too many scenes that are time killers and just filled with still layers parallaxing or just straight up stills zoomed in on and are translating positions, or how they hid mouths in shots to avoid animating/syncing dialogue.

One scene that really stuck out was one where David's sweating face took up like 75% of the screen, sweet was not animated and it stayed still in frame for at least 10-15s (a long ass time in animation). Then shortly after the shot there's animated sweat.

Style wise, it's solid. Animation wise, it's choppy as hell. Story wise, it's super generic. In all, it's meh at best with the exception of a few eye candy action sequences.

Tldr - they cut a ton of corners. Animation is about hiding illusions, not making them apparent
Removing text seems like an incredibly minor change request.

This has always been the case. At Google most employees lost about a week of time twice a year to write their performance review documentation. I'm sure a lot of companies made it worse with remote workers, but I don't feel that this is anything fundamentally new.
A less cynical take: this is a consequence of Elon's profile. He has 100M followers and is one of the most "interesting" people on Earth. Tesla is an extension of Elon and is viewed as the impetus for ushering in a new age of electric vehicles. Of course there will be more interest and scrutiny.
Opening the Heart of Compassion is one of only a few (and the best imo) English language expositions on the Buddhist model of human psychology and I found it enormously illuminating and applicable. Many get put off by the first section which has a bunch of stuff about Tibetan Buddhist deities, but the sections on the realms in part two are amazing. It also very briefly touches on a transformative practice called aspirational inquiry about investigating your own motivations. It seems to have been independently discovered by Connierae Andreas and is the subject of her book Core Transformation.
Let me get this straight, they are serial offenders and apparently incapable of even realizing that they're doing wrong. Any non-rich person would at least end up in psychiatric care for something like that, but we let these psychopaths run free?
And ironically, such punishment may chip away at the First Amendment also, because the power to punish Big Tech for how it mediates communication is more power in the government's hands to curtail private rights. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but such power has unintended consequences and must be ceded very thoughtfully.

We are forever charting a course between a Brave New World and a 1984 future.

There is no right to hear a message from a particular channel, but there is a right not to have the government intervene to suppress that channel. If the private actor decides of their own accord to censor you, that's perfectly legal. If they do so at the behest of government, that is a first amendment issue, and that's what's being asserted here.

I want to point out that Optus also offers a Digital Identity verification solution via Mastercards DI infrastructure. I am currently implementing Mastercards DI solution somewhere...

The way that is implemented SHOULD be mostly unhackable, with everything server side being encrypted and inaccessible without user action and communication with MCs backend.

Still, this is not a good look for trust. Should we now go to Australian customers and say "and now you authenticate via the Optus app, it's super secure" while they immediately think of this hack?

EU needs to do a better job at showing how useful it is, where the money goes and so on, so that people stop having this vague idea of what EU is and does, and start seeing the benefits. Should do a good job at reducing the number of eurosceptics.

Interesting. I'm not experiencing any of these problems running Teams on a Mac. What I have noticed is Teams doesn't seem to manage it's memory very well and after a few days of use it'll really bog your system down. Simply restarting Teams solves the problem for me. I find I need to restart Teams every week or two.
