Unable to quickly locate it, but my understanding is that likelihood of reproducibility grow as the field of science becomes more scientific over the spectrum of soft to hard sciences.
All you're doing is listing simple consequences of the rule.

The compiler may use increased precision for intermediate computations. That means sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. If you understand the basics of the situations where it will do so, you can see it depends on register allocation, which of course not only depends on optimization level, but also can change anytime you change anything at all in the source code.
The biggest part of the internet is the hiveminds.

There are dozens of them. Each is a magnet for a certain personality type. Each is an echo chamber, and an amplifier for its particular way of thinking.

Hiveminds usually ignore each other. Any mutual acknowledgement is generally antagonistic.

A hivemind is a kind of demon. It whispers seductive arguments to its membership. It speaks with the voice of hundreds. (Literally a 3-part harmony of the damned, which is an interesting bit of art becoming life)

Coming into contact with these demons is kinda not cool.
Even though my mom and I talk almost daily, I like having my parents a comfortable distance away. For mine, 6~10 hours is ideal. Too far to make a car trip frequently, not far enough to justify a plane flight.

I drive to visit them often enough to keep them away from where I live.

So far, only 4 visits in 9 years. Still too many, but manageable. :)
It's a shame the returns on this is so sputtering and confusing. VR continues to show a great deal of promise as an excellent tool for supporting HCI. Using my Quest 2 has been an absolute pleasure, and it seems an obvious choice over producing and transporting gargantuan televisions, creating separate rooms to support projectors, trying to figure out how to produce holograms, as a natural stop-off before BCI is viable, providing widespread affordable and comfortable living situations, and any other competing technology I can think of
For me, on one of my trips, I had a profound feeling of being part of life in the universe. Like this feeling of how vast the universe is, but it's all dead rocks, except for everything on this tiny blue world (and hopefully more). I felt like a part of that.

So no deities but spiritual like what you said.
We don’t have an equivalent vowel sound to “ü” in English at all. It’s something German learners struggle with.
Yes, both need to remain options. Rust-in-kernel needs to be able to support both. That's like half of Linus's ranting there.

The other half is that kernel has a lot of rules of what is safe to be done where, and Rust has to be able to follow those rules, or not be used in those contexts. This is the GFP_ATOMIC part.
by "military contracts" do you mean selling some sort of non-military SaaS to the military (eg. office 365), or actually selling arms or arms related software?
The much larger than understood cyber weapon world definitely enjoys how much of a PR loving extrovert Shalev Hulio (NSO founder) was. It takes the spotlight off them

NSO is just a commercial company buying and looking for 0-day exploits, 0-click or 1-click, it doesn't matter. There are probably hundreds of people with knowledge of said 0-days in the company who can turn around and start their own company the next day, or sell the 0-day instructions to 20 other companies

There are definitely many other players in this realm who no one talks about, using the same exact tools and exploits. Just not PR hungry like NSO is
You can absolutely observe non-determinism. That's what a race condition bug is, after all. You can also observe benign nondeterminism every day in anything that records ordering. Go do a parallel make, then do it again and observe the ordering of the mtime values in the intermediate artifacts. It won't be the same.

And FWIW: CPU-internal instruction reordering is observable too, though the details there get complicated. x86 hides (almost!) all the complexity from you, but ARM's OOO is leakier and requires careful attention to memory barriers.
Yeah I hope this won't get used by whoever want to hire me
> early adopters were heavily subsidised for the risk they were taking

This is amusing. I mined eight bitcoins in the very, very early days using my standard off-the-shelf windows PC with no GPU. It was agonizingly slow, but it worked just fine. There was zero risk. It was a fun thing to do, silly even, which is why I didn't even bother backing up the disk those BTC were on, so I'm in the keys-are-lost category.

But risk? Each BTC was worth pennies, where was the risk?
NFT is bullshit and doesn't address any of the problems that surround content creation. Creators who push NFTs do so either because they are sponsored in the background (paid a lump sum in fiat to engage with NFTs) or have direct involvement in the market and would like to benefit from the (temporary) speculation bubble. That bubble has now died and so will NFTs.

In other words, to be a real, valuable currency a *consensus* needs to be reached on it's use. Bitcoin lacks any mechanism for reaching a consensus --- on it's utility or it's value.
Turkey is #6 in the world for inflation. Behind, Zimbabwe, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Venezuela

Not good company for Turkey and their still rising hyperinflation. Erdogan still very popular and likely to win his election next year. Which these financial issues have negatively impacted his popularity.
The card for the CD drive actually uses only stock logic chips but no microcontrollers at all and therefore need no ROM dump of an existing card to work.

Love is not about utility.
More shocking to me is that more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments. Something is seriously rotten there. This shows the researchers note taking and methodology recording is seriously flawed.

Science and published knowledge as of today looks mighty fragile, given it's built on empiric data from these experiments.
That's as close to "changed radio channels and my wheels fell off" as you can get...
Yes you couldn't plug in a 13A fuse. Wiring a single circuit back to your MCU and putting a 30A breaker on it isn't expensive though, assuming you have spare space on the unit. You didn't mention renting
EthereumMax was not only “crypto security”, but it was a clean cut fraud from the start to the end. The SEC could have gone with simple fraud charges, as they have done with earlier scams like scam ICOs from 2017, but now they have started to push this “crypto security” term around.

I surely hope Mrs Kardashian got her $250k payment with vesting and cliffed EthereumMax token for her promotion for fraud, instead of dollars.
Wouldn't it be better to transition those people with the longest commutes first, as they use the most energy and have consistent needs?

No, of course not. He is a programming powerhouse. His projects are monumental. It's astonishing what this one person can get done.

At a former employer, I was part of a team of a couple dozen engineers and digital designers who were working on an LTE remote radiohead and base station product. Around the time we were releasing this product, Fabrice released this [0].

Fabrice is a tremendous talent, in our world he would be analogous to a Kobe Bryant or a Wayne Gretzky, so I find it flatly obnoxious that this is the bar that's being raised in this thread.

It doesn't matter how hard I eschew the bullshit in my life and everything else "standing in my way" to try to build a legacy. I am not like Fabrice. It's unlikely anyone in this comment thread is like Fabrice. There are so very few people who are on his level, you could probably count them all on 2 hands. It's absurd to think that this is what everyone eeds to strive for in life.

Anyway, this makes me a bit sad considering I've recently moved a 15 hour drive away from my parents. Happy that they have a guest room and for remote work though.

It also makes me ponder the differences in western culture and other places. I know in some cultures family is much more integrated, e.g. the grandparents move-in instead of sending them to a home or something.

I love my city life but I do sometimes imagine living in a compound with my close family. I think it would be tolerable if everyone had their own space but was close in proximity.
How the Worst Market Timer in History Built a Fortune
#5 is entirely dependent on the wiki itself, which is community-driven. Fandom only provides the infrastructure and platform, which support the feature.
The ISA bus was really a very approachable way to add hardware to a system. I worked at a place where a couple of electrical engineers wanted to build a bridge from a PC to a specialized industrial control network. So, with very little knowledge of computer programming (they were low level guys) or bus technologies they banged out an ISA card and an application to throw bytes out onto the network. Since ISA cards basically just showed up in memory space you just told the application they wrote which chunk of memory it was using and the application wrote to a specific offset to write data to the network and read from another offset to see what came back in.

They had a pretty successful little business from that idea. And those cards were STILL selling pretty well into the early 00's--I think they sold them until 2008. Of course the application was never updated and you couldn't just write to random memory locations post Windows 95...so thats the only OS (and DOS) that I ever saw that card run on.
> Others appeared baffled by the theory, in both microeconomics and macroeconomics; nine students received a grade of “D” or “F.” This performance was perhaps the worst by a group that I have had in 50 years of teaching introductory economics, going back to my first such offering in 1972.

1) Perhaps the univ has dropped its standards? And doesn't make an effort to prep those on the lower end?

2) 50 years? I can't help but wonder how exciting and engaging this course isn't. Perhaps student performance is a reflection of prof performance?
At least it's only on boot. My Xbox controller's headphone jack only produces garbled sounds. It also has the wobbliest headphone jack I've ever seen. No bluetooth headphone support even though the console transmits audio to the controller using bluetooth. The only other option to output audio is the HDMI-connected screen, but that disables volume controls. The volume controls that always take 10-15 keypresses to reach because it's the very last entry of the menu and the cursor can't loop around.

The elephant in the room is that if you add up all the reasons why a scientific paper could be "wrong", the median paper is wrong. This sounds crazy, cynical or both, but is a natural conclusion of the many ways to be wrong:

* a clinical trial had (insufficient sample size|no controls|other methodological error) and is excluded from meta-analysis for this reason

* engineering analyses that turn out wrong (an early paper that postulated you could use a lightly modified jumbo jet to seed the stratosphere with sulfur or early analysis of LWR accidents)

* numerous theoretical physics papers that are a shot in the dark (e.g. papers about superstring theory if the Universe is not supersymmetric, all the competing models if it is)

* math-heavy papers with 50 pages of calculations and a sign reversed on page 23

* CS papers based on software that was wrong (I looked at the source code and fixed the bug)

* one I wrote (nobody ever told a group of physicists how to tell if a power law is a good fit to a probability distribution or how to estimate the slope)

When I have been out of the academic loop and had to spend $30 to buy a copy of an academic paper that we thought would help in a commercial project it has often been a poor investment because the content wasn't useful.

Of course some scientific papers are highly valuable but I'd say one reason I never found my voice writing scientific papers was that I was aiming for a level of quality that was unrealistic and not representative of what I was surrounded with.
Thank you for the response. I was busy so I didn't see it at first.

You helped me see what was happening too, so thank you for that too.

I'm not for a second saying that if people want to hack away on the hardware to have fun, to scratch their own itch, etc etc they shouldn't be allowed to do so. They want to do it, they should have as much fun as they can while doing so. I wish them well. No on is served by petty administrator types demanding the whole world act as an offshoot of their corporate needs and abandon what is fun for them to work on the stuff that any one individual needs. Linux grows like it does because so many people are having fun with it and I'd never want to stop that.

The people I don't understand are the ones who buy Apple hardware with the intention of running Linux. They're the ones taking the gamble and buying something which was never intended to work under Linux from a vendor who is actively hostile to them doing so. At these prices, why gamble? Why fight? Do you want a toy for geek cred or are you buying hardware to use?

It's different if they're planning to develop on the hardware alongside the hackers getting Linux to run or are trying to target their code on the ARM type that Apple is using with hopes of future portability. That makes sense and is their business, whether for work or for pleasure. I just don't understand why the average Linux user would want to do this.

Sure Apple's ARM processor is pretty much leading the pack when it comes to ARM hardware set up for daily use. The hardware is very cool and I dearly hope that someone will release something intended for Linux that can compete and give them a run for their money. I just don't think it's a gamble worth pursuing if your goal is to simply use the hardware as opposed to developing or hacking on it.

Thanks again for your response, it helped me understand how I was coming off and I apologize to everyone for the misunderstanding my wording caused.
I'd like to agree. When I was a student, I mostly argued the same myself.

However the sheer size of student populations and the complexity of college life have grown exponentially, and they aren't slowing down. With that in mind, this personal responsibility mindset is quaint.
I try to look towards the better angels of everyone’s nature. Being jaded and cynical rarely solves problems.

When I first bought a Tesla in Tennessee we had the same problem with our condo's HOA board. We were lucky to live in a newer building but it still only had a single third party charger that would milk you dry if you used it (still not sure why it was so expensive). We just ended up charging at a supercharger when we got groceries. Would've been a nightmare if we had a Leaf or another electric car without that option. Maybe this isn't fully appreciated by the average Silicon Valley person since charging is so ubiquitous there (and in California more generally) - after we moved to Mountain View basically every apartment we looked at had plenty of charging options, if your workplace doesn't provide one for you already.
The unconstitutional vaccine mandate was based on the premise that you're harming others by not getting vaccinated.

Remember when Fauci was just making up herd immunity numbers based on the vaccination rate? He later admitted it was made-up and basically a way to motivate people to vaccinate. Notice how no one talks about herd immunity with respect to the vaccine anymore.

Also this one where the CDC director said the vaccinated do not carry the virus:

I view this quote as less about morals and more about Meta's reputation and failing recruiting efficiency.

Yes, the target candidates who buy into this are fooling themselves but only because Meta's recruiting techniques no longer work in the current climate.

Their satellite based GDP model is clearly biasing towards saying all reported GDP's are overstated. There's not a single country with a satellite based GDP higher than reported, and even America's plot has a slight negative difference between reported and satellite based.
This is the search engine
for prospecting that I had been waiting for. It helps you identify your exact buyers without going through the hassle of applying tons of filters.
The biggest problem is this all-consuming search for a bigger profit. It's absolutely possible to make a decent living off of content-creation, and YT or Twitch could be profitable businesses by just supporting that. However, they have probably reached their maximum audience, and so their profit would stop increasing if they just did that, and no growth, even for a profitable business, means desperate investors in this crazy economy we live in.
Bureaucrats are not elected either. Most government workplaces are no more democratic than a corporation.

Democracy is probably a better macro-level organizational system, but on smaller scales having a chain of command and an executive function is a godsend. Anyone who’s ever been on a consensus driven committee can tell you how well democracy works on smaller projects.
It has nothing to do with morals. People use tiktok because their attention spans can only handle 30 second videos.
Then maybe you are in the 'average retail investor' bucket, without much grasp of the protocols and software underlying these tokens.
Meta just has nothing to offer.

In fact, the only truly useful thing it provides is Whatsapp (which it acquired primarily to gain users); and there are good alternatives to Whatsapp, so it's an "also".

The actual human connection features of Facebook turned out to be a novelty as humans discovered that they don't really do enough interesting things often; so keeping up with one's friends doesn't require a live feed, but rather a weekly or monthly note will do.

So once the friend status stuff became so blasé, and users were spending less attention on FB, FB amped up the suggested content. Now, as has been illustrated on some HN posts, the vast majority of what one sees on FB is just suggested content.

Instagram is the same. People just aren't interesting enough to keep an entire platform alive. Sure, the influencers and posers will provide a lot of content, but within any given category there are hundreds of similar (and quickly boring) options.

The grand business model of attracting people to a platform and then showing them lots of ads just cannot survive long term without real content; and there's less and less real content each year.

Meta is so large and has so much marketshare already that no pivot could save them. Their only chance is to merge with a content company like Netflix (where the content machine is arguably already oversaturating the channels and leaving viewers bored despite many new series each year).

In 10 years, Meta is likely to be just another AOL.

one aside from all this (has nothing to do with Iran but everything to do with geeks, technology, and power): the report above says that the day before the security services installed new surveillance equipment all around the university. And as soon as the protests (entirely peaceful at that point) started, they grabbed 3 specific students. It is tragically ironic that people just like the students in Sharif had designed and built these systems for the people who enjoy lording it over others, which is now being used against them..
Well back in my day ... slips in dentures* a gadget was just a generic thing you played around with and did a thing.

It's not impossible. College admissions 20 years ago was more or less GPA + ACT/SAT. These days it's far more holistic to the point of ACT/SAT not being required at Davidson. Found one article that says only 60% of admitted students submitted an ACT/SAT score.

Can easily see a not so smart kid that checks boxes and had a good high school GPA due to parental supervision totally bombing out in college.
