There's an inside joke among programmers in Mainland China where the GBK encoding is used.

锟斤拷 (which doesn't mean anything) is the result of interpreting UTF-8's replacement character [1] in GBK.

烫 (hot, scorching) is interpreting 0xcc in GBK. In debug mode, Visual Studio will initialize unused memory with 0xcc.

The inside joke is:
手持两把锟斤拷，口中疾呼烫烫烫
Holding two 锟斤拷 in hands and screaming "hot hot hot"

But it's also like a library and like protobufs, but it's named after arrays. I don't see how the format works, etc.

In other words, it's everything, which usually means it's really bad at everything, and in reality it's nothing.

So again, what is it? The first screenshot is some python code, and then it's talking about hugging face.

It'd call it 0clarityArray

To answer your question, yes, you could 100% leverage your SWE background in sales. I was in a similar position, and have since moved across engineering, product management, and program management. To make the move a bit less painful for others I started curating job opportunities[1], including sales roles, for people just like you (us). It's still a bit of a work in progress, but I'd love your feedback.

I appreciate this perspective. But I was hoping for something at, um, a smaller scale of commitment. :-)
I think this might just be the natural end state of all social networks once the user base ages. I can't imagine sharing like I used to in college and it has more to do with my mindset than any feature issues on my preferred social networks.
This happened to me last week and I ignored it thinking maybe I did something wrong and Apple wouldn't be so silly to build in an attack vector like this in to their software.

It was between two devices on the same Apple ID though via AirDrop, so maybe it only did it because the device was "trusted".
The parent comment is laser-focused on the VRAM capacity of the cards. They are saying 16GB is more VRAM than you find on the 10/12 GB RTX 3080, and the same as the 16GB RTX 4080.
Yeah, that was the (perhaps slightly too obscure) reference.
The big issue is how many tools would need to be rewritten to accommodate the updated file format. For better or worse there is a lot of inertia to the terrible file formats, it's not as simple as "Hey, change".

As an example, consider clinical use cases. It can be near impossible to update the software in the pipelines for these situations. How do they move on from the old tools? Ok, now suppose they need to interact with data from non-clinical sources?

Things like you're proposing can be done. As others have intimated in this thread, solving the technical issue is the easiest part of the chain. More than one Tech Person has walked into the fray assuming the only thing holding stuff back is that no one ever thought to apply Good Tech Solutions. Instead what's necessary are people who can understand why things are the way they are, and the human dynamics at play. Building a better mouse trap requires taking these into account from the start.
> I chose the license that seems least likely to prevent me from being able to use the code I've written (currently Apache 2)

You won't be able to use it if the future project is under a GPLv2 (or GPLv2+) requirement, since Apache 2.0 and GPLv2 are not compatible.
Funnily enough, the real value of this post is the thread detailing all the alternatives...
I agree for the most part with a detail: In case the last 6 months didn't make it obvious: Massive recession as a result of war can go both ways and that wall to echonomic MAD can also cause a lack of peace. If the cost of sanctions can hurt both countries, then it will cause other countries to turn a blind eye to bad acts because the cost of action is not just militarily but also econamic.

Example: The US is all A-OK with China's Hong Kong, Taiwan, and various Human Rights violations and realisticly refuses real action on it. In fact...we bankroll it.
Ask HN: What can I do about slow mobile data speeds?
Long story short, I'm staying with family who don't have broadband for an extended period, and need to use my mobile hotspot to work from here.

That said, I seem to be beyond the boundaries of the cell that my iPhone 13 Pro connects to, and my data speeds are really slow as a result.

To give you an idea of the severity of the problem, my RSRP, RSRQ and SINR values as calculated three times, three days apart, were as follows:

RSRP: -115 through -103 (avg. -110)
RSRQ: -16 through -12 (avg -14)
SINR: -31 through 47 (avg: 4)

I'd love to know if there's something I (or the network, who I'm in touch with) can do about this, as it makes Microsoft Teams meetings hard (harder than having to use Microsoft Teams normally!).
No joke, on Facebook I'm already seeing one ad for every 2 real posts. On Instagram it's about 1:3 on the home and 1:5 on the reels (but I suppose it depends on how fast you scroll).

It's already quite disgusting at this stage. Are they going to flip it to 2 ads every one post? How long before unskippable 30-second ads?
If developers x, y are developing UI and API endpoints and developer z is developing backend to a 10k+ page spec, 2 week sprints need not apply to developer z.
I guess most of your "wanted" list is easily achievable, except the first one: There is just no self-hostable product for photo management that comes close to Apple/Google in terms of reliability, feature set and ease of use.

Take all recommendations with a grain of salt. They're not even close to the capabilities of Google/Apple (unfortunately) – no matter what people are trying to tell you. This is my experience from trying out most of these systems at some point in time (Nextcloud, Photoprism, Synology Photos, and more).

We modulate sprint length based on resources available. There is no point to keep a strict 2 week sprint if during one week most of the team will be on vacation (ex: Christmas), so we make the sprint duration to 3 weeks.
I don't disagree with any of this. The mechanisms that ensure that only one person at a time can consume the content in question provide appropriate friction to mirror most of the limitations of physical media.

I'm not a fan of the walled gardens of streaming and the you-own-nothing credo that goes with it. I'm just saying that we need to be fair to all sides with the solution.

I self host a lot, the main thing is to keep your software up to date and make sure you don't accidentally open any ports you don't mean to. The top main mistakes people make is 1) never updating software and then getting exploited, and 2) accidentally not having or misconfiguring your firewall. Like leaving an "internal" service exposed to the internet.

> It DOES NOT solve the business problem of a rising competitor in TikTok, a failing ads business model (for growth that wall street expects) given present privacy challenges.

You've got it backwards. The "army of data scientists and smart people...guid[ing] their decision making through data" will tell them to make tactical, nonstrategic decisions like this, because they're about measurable stuff.

> - photos: NextCloud

If you don't mind horrible experience viewing photos/videos via nextcloud, go on. In my case this was unusable. Thumbnails not pregenerated even after trying (Yeah, didn't spend whole day on that issue) and generates on the fly. So viewing larger directory is... rubbish. Videos don't play as nice not to say they don't even have thumbnails. Feels like "guest book" from 2000 - no features that auto organizes stuff - just a directory with photos and you're on your own with unorganized mess of photos.

How great was HN when it suggested me https://photoprism.app/ - and it really just works! Nice, performant, featureful, yet feels lightweight. Finally I can view my photos.

I still use nextcloud just for sync and photoprism just has directory mounted as readonly. Still, sync from phone feels heavy along with "failed to sync" errors and just hangs doing nothing... I long to try out syncthing

99PI – Search and Ye Might Find: High Level History of Search Engines
One of my favorite recent episodes from one of my favorite podcasts.
Mine came from https://www.geewiz.co.za/ups/124927-acconet-poe-48v-24v-smar... Looks like this may be a South African domestic brand though (and you probably don't want to order from a South African site unless you're living in the country to be honest).

If it's just PoE you're looking for there are other options available - e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Uninterruptible-Security-1000...

One thing to be wary about though is max power if you're trying to run a raspberry pi with hard drive attached off one of these devices. A lot of these devices cap output on the USB ports at ~5V/2A (which I think was the USB2 max whereas USB3 allows for more). If you're running off an SD-card or SSD you should be fine, but 2A isn't enough to start a pi from an attached 2.5" HDD in my experience.
At least on Instagram for iOS, you have the option to tap the Instagram logo on the top left corner and choose "Following". It will only show posts from the accounts you follow and, at least for me, there are barely ads there.
Kanban is good for some situations, but in my experience the problems of a weak team (or lack of vision of the big picture) only get exacerbated with this methodology.

Again in my experience, in some environments kanban is an excuse for having the team on a constant death march to burnout.
Garrett's behavior indicates narcissistic and/or antisocial personality disorder. He got outplayed by a woman and couldn't handle it happening again, and lashed-out. This is narcissism 101. He accused her of cheating with absolutely no evidence, then proceeded to corner Lew and threaten her off-camera in a dark hallway. This is advanced narcissism. Only after Garrett demanded his money back did Lew offer to return the money. This is extortion. She should have instead charged Garrett with menacing, gotten a restraining order and sued him for slander, but it is understandable she feared for her life and reputation, as many after being threatened have trouble thinking rationally, and she likely just wanted to escape from danger. It's pretty fucked up, and Garrett is a coward that only wins by bullying other players and is also a giant, walking, steaming turd that should be banned from the game.

Well, that depends. You certainly want to ensure the availability of the information under your remit isn't compromised by a threat actor, but reducing your attack surface by, say, shutting down external internet access is certainly a valid mitigation in some circumstances.
The rise and fall of all social networks is inevitable. Like many things they follow this dynamic where they go out of fashion when too many use it. Currently everybody is moving to TikTok and there's lots of good content there. But that platform too will fade eventually and another one appear.

Discovering Novel Algorithms with AlphaTensor
In most colleges your grade on your transcript will get overwritten by the new grade if you take the class again. And your GPA will be adjusted accordingly.

Don't forget that NYU credits (if the Google results I found are accurate) are $2,020 and Chemistry is usually a 4 credit class. You don't get refunds for failed classes so that is a $8,000 loss. And it might delay graduation. It has real consequences.

But it also sounds like the professor was bad at writing exam questions. He was failing people at a statistically improbable rate.

I used to teach at a university and we generally aimed for a bell curve. And if too many people were on the A side of the bell curve the odds are your class was too easy and if too many people were on the F side it was too hard. Either way when taken as the statistical aggregate it is usually the professor's fault not the student's.
I made a video about it but it is not published yet. I hope to publish it soon here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkc8xf5A7qCQydN6tG0BmmQ

There was no misconfiguration, just millions of DNS requests but not millions of actual users. I was in contact with AWS support multiple times. The only solution was so use AWS Shield Advanced. They did refund most of the charges but it was too risky for me. Even after I moved DNS provider there was DNS requests to the R53 zones. I can highly recommend https://dnsimple.com though.
I think the Newton - Ortega distinction is slightly different. Maybe it coincides with the Balto-Togo metaphor to some extent, but I think part of why the Balto-Togo metaphor resonates with people here is because it recognizes the role of the citers as well as the cited.

Your mention of the Newton-Ortega distinction is the first I've heard of it by those names, so I'm not entirely familiar with its scope, but in reading the Wikipedia entry it seems to assume the contributions of the scientists in question are somehow known, and it's a matter of "does science progress with lots of little contributions or a few big contributions?"

You can turn this on its head though, and suggest that "contribution" really means "discussion in the literature" which is a property of the citers and not the cited. So, if say, a Newton comes along and has a brilliant discovery, but no one understands it or it goes into the wrong outlet and isn't read, then there will be no impact. Conversely, though, if something comes along and there's a rush of recognition of a concept, and someone publishes it first, is that because this "big innovation" was associated with that first publisher, or because the readers all had the same collective idea, and they're just citing the first to goal?

The issue is that scientific development is not actually a property of the discoverer -- the discovery is necessary but not sufficient -- and the "size" of a discovery and who makes that discovery aren't really the same thing either.

I think that e.g., (1) finding that science progresses in big leaps rather than small steps, and that (2) there is a "first post" phenomenon doesn't mean that the big leaps are necessarily due to the first poster.

My personal experience is that all of this bibliometric research is a little distorted because so much rapid change in process has happened even in the last 20 years, and much of what actually happens in science and scientific credit is much more complex than bibliometric models allow. It's difficult to study big versus small contributions accurately when political maneuvering and social dynamics is such a big part of what happens.

It's interesting to think about, in any event.
Also, pretty much every fancy formula you learn in Stats 100/ AP stats that looks weird but is very useful, can be derived and proved using calculus. Without calculus you just have to take it on faith, and may not have as intuitive an understanding of why it's true and what the significance of the terms is.

The same is the case in basic physics. No, V does not = IR, nor does F = ma. That's the simplification they tell us so they can explain a simplified version to us. In fact, the correct equations have derivatives in them and thus are differential equations.

Look, nobody needs calculus but nobody needs to read either. After all you could hire someone to read everything out loud to you. All knowledge is like this.

Ask HN: Redditor claims to have 5 IT jobs simultaneously. Feasible?
Mostly because you want a dedicated device to serve off of. If your desktop is always on it isn't that much different.

My desktop gets shut down, rebooted, crashed, wiped and reloaded, and otherwise abused as I get thoughts.

My home server has been the same (don't worry I run updates) for a couple years, chugging along, sipping about 1/4 the power my desktop would take.

In the beginning of your self hosting journey, the opposite might be true. You might want to try 300 things, and that's hard to do if you're trying to get work done on your desktop.
Yes they are chasing short-term gains. They don't want to get hammered in the next quarterly earnings.
First example: LED used as flash in phones.

The simplest hardware design is just running it at say 10% max in flashlight mode but allowing for short bursts of overdrive for flashing. The LED is big enough to handle short bursts, but not thermally cooled well enough to work at full power all the time. So you rely on firmware/software to do its job instead of having specialised hardware controller that's only job would be to make sure LED isn't on on 100% for more than say half a sec.

You control software so you don't GAF, but people putting custom one have to take same amount of care

Second example: You're an engineer and need to drive a backlight. You can

* slap a constant-current controller (buck or two of parts) so 100% is a maximum safe level all while regulating it at >90% efficiency
* slap a high value resistor costing $0.01 so 100% is maximum level is safe but you lose a lot of power in the resistor
* slap a low value resistor then just drive it at 20% duty cycle and waste less heat in resistor all while still costing $0.01

They just most likely picked 3rd. Or picked 1st and misengineered the limits I guess...
> since when russia was an enemy of europe?

It's hard to give a precise date since Europe was torn by so many wars over centuries, but when it comes to the present situation, I'd say it was the Bolshevik Revolution. European countries were afraid the communist movement spreads everywhere - and in fact it became quite popular in several countries.

Then, after WWII, Russia established their military bases in all of Eastern Europe and after that the Cold War begun. When the Berlin Wall fell, everybody was so happy because we really hoped it's the end of tension between Russia and the West. It didn't last long, though - Putin's speech in Munich in 2007 made it clear he has a completely different vision.

So, to briefly answer your question, for the most part of the last century, actually.

I actually work in LE and video from domestic and commercial security cameras are always a major piece of information that we look for in every single investigation. So... Yes, LE gives a shit in many countries.

However, also in many countries, like my own, police is very under staffed and burglaries are often on the bottom of the priorities list. Armed robberies, murders, shootings, stabbings, explosions, fires, domestic abuse, rape, to name a few, are the ones that get the highest priority. And those things take a lot of work to find suspects, prove what they're suspected of, write it down and get them convicted.

A case, unfortunately, isn't finished when you catch a suspect. It's a crap load of work to get someone convicted and that gets massively underestimated by people who only read statistics and conclude that LE doesn't care... Most of us do, which is why we join the field.
