> You don't even have to be that big -- at one point Azure offered to provide full time engineers to help reddit move from AWS and that was many years ago when reddit was a lot smaller.

I know HN dislikes sales folks (me, too), but they're often a decent, relatively quick gateway to getting a fair amount of work of this sort done for free, if it's part of getting you onto some kind of recurring billing situation and you have more than a paltry amount of money on the table. Like, you don't have to be a fortune 500 to get this kind of service.

Providers that suck at this also usually have trash support, when you eventually need to use it, so asking for this kind of high-touch onboarding assistance up-front even if you don't strictly need it can also help sort wheat from chaff.
> Of course you can work in other units, but you'll need to insert the appropriate scaling factors all over the place.

You probably take out more scaling factors than you introduce.

> Euler's formula (e^ix = cosx + isinx) is the simplest when working with radians.

Euler’s still simple:

e^(2 i pi y) = cosy + isiny

Or if you start noticing c = e^(2 pi) showing up all over the place:

c^iy = cosy + isiny

> How do you do the same with "turns" on a sphere?… You can't in any meaningful way.

Why not do the same thing? One steradian is 1/(4 pi) of a sphere’s solid angle. What if one “steturn” or whatever just covered a full solid angle? And similarly for higher dimensions?

Neither definition seems more natural to me, especially being used to all the factors of 2 and pi that pop over all over the place in the status quo.
I got forgotten until a day later for a remote job.

Was supposed to start on Monday. Was told that Monday morning, I would get my passwords and everything to log in and get set up. At 10AM, I emailed my contact there as I knew nobody else (one of those companies where interviewing isn't always done by the same team). He didn't get back to me until Tuesday. Spent the day wondering if I had been ghosted and pondering whether to tell the other companies I turned down that the job fell through.
Actually Orthodoxy is arguably more inclined to treat Sunday as the first day of the week as witnessed by the Greek language.

There are also several patristic writings that conceptualise Sunday as the eighth day of creation, i.e. the resurrection perfecting and completing creation (this also suggests that literal seven day creation wasn’t taken that… er… literally back in the day).
scrypt is solely passphrase-based; age has "identities". Identities, in turn, can be the private half of an asymmetric keypair, a passphrase (which then uses scrypt under the hood), or a handful of "extension" types, like SSH keys (for the reference implementation).

In other words: if you're using age with passphrases, it's very similar to scrypt's CLI. But you can also use it to encrypt to public recipients, similar to how you'd encrypt using someone's public GPG key.
IIRC, you can't have a nil value, just a nil pointer. I like that because it makes you avoid using nil/null/none as a magic value as a habit (not completely, because yeah, pointers).

But it's definitely no Rust. It's a very small language by comparison. That's a positive for me, but you can't have all the Rust things and that at the same time.

I'm not a "1 language for everything" guy. I tend to choose for the task if given the choice or choose for the team so I'm not stuck being the only one that can maintain it. And for anything more than a toy for myself, I always pick something mainstream.

If I'm slapping something together as a 1-off, I tend to go with Python. If I'm writing a CLI, I tend to use Go and I'm using it more for backend stuff. I'll use Java if I have to, because of the team thing. But I won't like it. For toy stuff, I'll pick a language out of a hat just to learn something new. Every few years I'll use a LISP/Scheme.
Huh? I order from Digikey all the time and usually I get my packages FedEx because it's the same price as USPS. When USPS is cheaper, I select that because I'm in the same state so it typically gets here the next day anyway.
Thanks! I'll remove it from my site.

That is literally how they are marketed, and the rate is fixed for N years.
It's because most companies that use SMS "2FA" don't use it for your security, they use it for their security—phone numbers are a costly resource, and every phone number an attacker spends to launch a spam attack is a phone number they'll never be able to use again. VoIP numbers flip that logic on its head by making it much cheaper to provision and allocate phone numbers. This also slightly protects user accounts because it makes it harder for attackers to "overwrite" a hijacked user account with their own bogus phone number during takeover, but that's a secondary goal—the main goal is spam reduction
Ah, the irony of modern English usage: "Moms for Liberty" pushing for book bans.
At my son's high school, boys were not welcome to join the Girls Who Code after school club. And let's be realistic. Even if the fine print on some site boys are allowed, the name is unwelcoming to them.

A question: has anyone here actually read this book?

While I'm frustrated that books like Maus are being caught up in these book bans, I'm more frustrated that books like "Gender Queer" are being treated as important books that should be in school libraries and accessible to fourteen year olds.

But most of all, I'm angry that whenever this discussion happens, people try to gaslight me into believing this is just bigotry, or ideological boogeyman that don't exist, or partisan politics.

It would be far more tolerable for someone to say, "Yes, books that teach and advocate queer theory should be available for children at X age." That, I can tolerate. Being told this is all a figment of my imagination, I cannot.

Where this leads? Because of the rampant intellectual dishonesty and outright lies about what's happening, it's very difficult for me to believe that "Girls Who Code" is JUST a book that aims to introduce women to software development.
Someone's going to invest potentially 100s of dollars a year x 100s of inputs it gets?

The open internet is crawlable. This seems pretty far from a risk vector.
the old trick at the air port was to buy mulitple tickets leaving around the same time to different destinations at multiple airports ultimately traveling under false ID under a different name. that's surely feasible for pretty much anybody not just super spies, right?
1. book bans have nothing to do with shelf space. it's weird that you would even bring this up.
2. the school board president does not mention book quality in their statement at all, but rather content objections. did you read the article?
3. this is a book, not a club, but also the associated organization states the following regarding boys in their local clubs: "we encourage our Clubs to welcome any member who wishes to join the Girls Who Code mission irrespective of gender identity".
The underlying idea is the idea of fixed points (aka spectra, diagonalizations, embedding, invariants, braids). By fixed point I mean something like the "Lawvere's fixed point theorem".

Very nice! You can clearly see something like "Sesostris Temple" on the background award thing and maybe "Honorary Big Brother?" Honorary Elk Member"?

That may be an angle for tracking it down, the man seems to be behind "his desk" which would mean the award applies to him.
This has nothing to do with the article, and it is equally applicable to degrees, radians, or turns. It neither solves nor hinders the simplicity or performance issues the article was talking about.
I am not sure how common this is in the US or other countries, but in the Czech Republic (maybe in the whole EU?), the carrier is obliged by law to provide you with a special numerical code which you can then use to transfer your phone number to a new carrier without the old carrier being able to do anything about it or indeed being involved in any way at all. This completely erases the need to have a physical SIM in order to keep your phone number.

I am not sure whether carriers here offer prepaid eSIMs though.
This has nothing to do with Computer Science as a major or as a field.
Unless I misunderstood the intent, this sounds like a rephrasing of the Unix philosophy. Evidently the approach works for certain types of problems and up to a point, but we've all seen a shell script hell of one sort or another in our lifetime. I don't see this rephrasing addressing that problem. At some point you are going to need more complex things than a composition of a few simple programs, and that's where the real difficulty lies.
Moon influences us in three ways: Time, Tide and Light.

We now have apps that inform us. But. If we can read a lunar calendar, we can organise our life around the moon cycles.

There is a reason the word ‘lunatic’ is derived from ‘lunar’. We are mostly made of water. Luna definitely has an effect on our bodies and our moods. Why isn’t it a good thing to understand the ecosystems around us that is time and space..and the ecosystem with us that is mind and body?
It isn't precisely equivalent so long as it is granted that the brain does something other than symbol manipulation.

ARGUMENT

1. Symbol manipulation is not the same as conscious understanding.

2. The brain can perform the equivalent of symbol manipulation via neuronal interactions.

3. ?

Conclusion: The brain does not have conscious understanding.

Depending on how you fill in (3), you can get two possible conclusions:

3a. The brain does nothing other than the equivalent of symbol manipulation described in (2).

With (3a), the conclusion above does follow. But, as an alternative:

3b. In addition to being able to perform the equivalent of symbol manipulation via neuronal interactions as described in (2), the brain has the ability to instantiate conscious understanding (perhaps this is done by some special kind of neuronal interactions or perhaps some other way).

With (3b), the conclusion above does not follow.

And since we know that the conclusion is false, we should therefore also consider (3a) to be false.

It is true that the mysterious "ability" that the brain has is not explained by (3b). Searle's view is thus more palatable for people who are okay with the position that we do not currently have a satisfactory explanation for qualia. However, it should be noted that (3b) is not necessarily an endorsement of the existence of an immaterial "soul substance" or anything of the sort as it is compatible with physicalist theories such as integrated information theory (in which what neurons are doing is more than just symbol manipulation).
As far as I can tell he's taking "qualia" as a given, asserting that the room doesn't have it, and then taking that as proof that qualia are a real thing.

That doesn't seem like a very useful argument to me, and I can't imagine why anybody would spend a moment on it were it not coming out of the mouth of a (deservedly) famous philosopher. But since it is, they try to make it talk about something not-pointless, i.e. the nature of a General Artificial Intelligence.

How many people do you think are 'into' ML enough to spend $1k+ on a SOTA gpu and associated hardware? I am slowly getting there having moved from Colab to my own set up...

However... Ethereum enabled/lured many everyday joes into buying 4+ $1k cards due to the incentive structure of; 'buy mining rig then buy a lambo.' Setting up a GPT-NeoX is orders of magnitude more difficult than pointing GPU compute at Nicehash. I really have a hard time thinking ML will have any meaningful uptake in that regard because the incentive structure isn't the same and its much, much harder.

Big cloud seems to be going there own way in regards to compute. GPU's are great for ML, but that doesn't mean they will always hold the crown. TPU's, NVMe storage, and chiplets may find a better path with newer software.

I just don't see how Nvidia really thrives without drastically reducing price (less margin). I don't think they are dead, but they are in big trouble as are many companies.
What happens if you paint your car? Are you supposed to inform your gov't?
There are some vague similarities; like VU1 can be used akin to a mesh shader to generate procedural geometry. But the overall architecture is very different and simplified. There's no pixel/fragment shaders, for example; you just get Gouraud shaded triangles and nothing else.

Modern GPU APIs are about as similar to programming the PS2 as OpenGL 1.x is similar to an Nvidia RTX 3080.
Depends on what you mean.

OpenZiti the project takes over protocol security for you by securing a network connection at the host or software level. So OpenZiti does not let you bring your own stack

The examples here show how to do what you are asking with the standard Go libraries. So it is a path you can replicate with your own stack choices.
We could just say that a project can have a flexible scope and undetermined end date, and keep calling it that? Or just call it what it is. An application, library, data visualization, etc. Or spend copious amounts of time trying to convince your organization to call it an 'undertaking' or something similarly weird and unconventional. You do you.
Highly doubtful—I'd imagine his technical abilities are more needed than ever now, given how many tech folks are trying to get out of Russia.

But I do have to wonder what his arrangement with Putin's regime is. Seems unlikely that they just gave him a place to crash without expecting something in return.
I remember a story of a guy who had his license plate on a hinge with a little cable attached to the cigarette lighter in the car. When he wanted to speed in an area with cameras he'd pull out the cigarette lighter to fold the plate up, then pop it back in to fold the plate down when he was finished. This struck me as a very neat solution, and nicely disguised too.
One point... I think car manufacturers are required to stock parts for 20 years or so.

Probably the same answer you would get from a New Yorker if you asked them how to get to Carnegie Hall.
So, this only works if a large part of the cost is labor (this is the model china used in the last few decades) in which case the cost of production definitely goes down. I'm no expert in Germany's economy, maybe they have more materials / energy cost that they need to pay for in their home currency?

The keyword embodied may be fruitful — there is a lot of noise around the term but embodied understanding is closer to what you want, I think. You may have to relax some ideas about how things work for a while in order to absorb/integrate it.

The knowledge defined in the article is very rational and reductionist in its presentation. I don’t mean that derogatorily, but it does mean it can’t account for all the emergent features of our existence. The reductionist approach can be useful as a set of signposts for locating reliable mechanistic constraints.

is that for a single head minisplit? In the US i installed one back in 2004 by myself, and i remember it costing around $1400.

the system i have now is also a minisplit, but it has 5 heads, and is 5.5 tons. If i run one of 4 heads by itself, it can do 3 tons to just that head. the fifth head is smaller BTU, i think it's 3/4 ton max. It cost $3,723.68, plus an additional $5000 to get it installed and working, give or take. As i mentioned, i got the $3723 refunded due to manufacturer's defect.
With government, we have heuristics honed over millennia for detecting things which are likely to end extremely badly, and we can explain them in logical terms. For example, resurrecting the USSR is bad because the USSR was an empire lead by a succession of dictators and oligarchies, and we have good, logical reasons founded on plenty of history telling us why empires, dictators, and oligarchies are all bad.

The illogical reasons are the ones which reduce to "It's bad because it's new" and "It's good because it's old" with no further content, just rhetorical smoke bombs and hand-waving.

Rockauto is one of my favorite things in the world. The site is a perfect case study in how to make a UX that's ugly as sin but has evolved to be a million times more usable than anything the "minimal sleek modern UX" crowd could ever come up with.

You always roll the dice with aftermaket parts of course, but my experience has been that they usually don't sell utter crap like you'll find on Amazon and eBay. They make some effort to verify that the parts are not bottom-of-the-barrel because they don't want to deal with returns and after all, they are car people themselves.

My favorite thing that I like to tell people that have not heard of RockAuto yet: I can buy a full of wiper blades for my two cars for about the same price as ONE mid-quality wiper blade at Walmart.
Worth noting that GN measured the power before the VRMs, while the limit is applied after the VRMs. Assuming a 90% efficiency, what GN measured would be 225.7W at the socket. Close, but still not quite.
Absolute nonsense. You continue to ignore the simple facts that they still have a spare turbine(s) just sitting in storage on site as well as the one in Germany that could be delivered any time that Gazprom wants. Siemens Energy also stated that they could easily seal the oil leaks on site if Gazprom wants regardless of it's necessity, but has received no order from Gazprom to do so. I am not sure how much more evidence you need that Gazprom simply has been ordered to stop deliveries?

It's very much in Russia's interest to shift blame away from themselves to sow dissent (which you are totally falling for) and also perhaps for later court cases about breaches of contracts (not sure how relevant that continues to be).

The FT article is talking about oil and not gas.
It also explicitly states that oil and gas payments were exempt from sanctions.
I think that (plus your other replies with similar factual errors) is more than enough evidence for me to conclude that you are arguing in bad faith.

I have a close group of friends that consists of an athiest, an agnostic, a hindu, and 2 christians, and outside of 1 of those christians, we've all been friends for at least 13 years (1 of those relationships since 1994).

No one had to ask the hindu why they got upset when the athiest came by and stood next to the statue of buddha chomping on a mcdonalds beef biscuit.

The athiest didn't think about it, those two had a conversation afterwards, and they still get along just fine to this day (some 10 years later).

This is NOT about beliefs being objective or not. That group of friends has lasted over the years due to a fundamental respect of each other as PEOPLE.

Someone who asks that particular question lacks such respect and as such are not going to be given any headspace by me.

> I [nvidia CEO] don’t think we could have seen it [massive effect of Ethereum merge on bottom line]. I don’t think I would’ve done anything different, but what I did learn from previous examples is that when it finally happens to you, just take the hard medicine and get it behind you…We’ve had two bad quarters and two bad quarters in the context of a company, it’s frustrating for all the investors, it’s difficult on all the employees.

This is not confidence inspiring. It was obvious that the Etherum merge would affect the bottom line in a big way. Why this professed ignorance? Does it have to do with the fact that to admit that it was visible a mile away would have been to admit the deep reliance the company had come to have on the short-term Ethereum mining boom?
So you depend on the company's goodwill. Has this ever worked when it comes to monopolized industries?
Unrelated but I would love to figure out why my AMD system will completely lock up (including the mouse) under certain tasks with high CPU loads (in ubuntu).
