hey, some (major) rabbis believe that sabbath in japan should be on sunday. (and others believe that in western alaskan islands, it be friday, i.e. if there's a concept of a "date line" in halacha, than the area between the international date line and the halacha date line would be offset by a day depending on which side it is).

This site doesn't seem great - their methodology doesn't explain how they reach the conclusions they did. For example, does radioactive fallout scale linearly with bomb size? I have no idea! But given that most weapons are hydrogen-bombs now, that doesn't seem intuitively obvious that it does - the amount of radioactive material per warhead plateaus while yield goes up and up.

Which is to say, it seems big on the "panic and horror" and low on actual information. I have no idea how to follow whether their conclusions seem reasonable or not.

I suspect that AI generated content is (eventually, not the current versions) going to destroy copyright as a concept.

The generally-stated reason for copyright is to incentivise the creation of more works, but when those works can be made for less than the cost of the food needed to feed a human for long enough to ask a machine to make it[0], the economic value disappears and only tradition remains.

However, that's assuming it's purely economics; if art is humanity's version of peacock tails, then the effort is the point, and even an uploaded brain will be dismissed as "not capable of real art".

[0] I don't know how much power a genuinely human level creative AI would consume, but let's compare one of the current image generators:

For the human, 10 seconds to type in a prompt * minimum cost of keeping a human alive ($1.90 abject poverty threshold) = $0.00022

For the AI, maximum power draw of Mac mini M1 * 90 seconds to create an image = 3,510 joules; at $0.1/kWh[1] that's $0.0001

The cost of the AI doing the thing is about half the minimum possible cost of getting a human to ask the AI to do the thing.

Most of HTMLs problems were solved 20 years ago with things like schemas, namespaces, and conventions for extensions supported in browser. None of this caught on. At the time people wanted sloppy shit because all the value was in business logic written in ASP or Java that wrote static HTML with dynamic content for advertising and e-commerce. The just had to barely work well enough to create an e-commerce conversion and avoid lawsuits. You have the same shitty code now but it’s moved to Angular and React.

When people claim they want HTML improved I stop taking them seriously.

I see trillion rea$ons of military spendings to convince the general public that enemies are all around. Though actually starting a full scale war is stupid—there is a non-zero chance that the human civilization as we know it won't survive.
Yes and no. These superpowers are playing their power games on a world stage. As such they sometimes need the crowd on their side in order to win. That means that thin veneer of law does indeed count. After all each nation tries to keep their population under the believe that they are indeed the good ones.

That means war cannot move unrestricted from the rules that govern it. Or let's say it can, but at a (often significant) cost.

The banners themselves are not legally required, neither by the GDPR nor by the EPR. What is required (at least from a EU standpoint) is (taken from https://gdpr.eu/cookies/):

- Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies.

- Provide accurate and specific information about the data each cookie tracks and its purpose in plain language before consent is received.

- Document and store consent received from users.

- Allow users to access your service even if they refuse to allow the use of certain cookies

- Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.

Site owners don't have to use obnoxious banners to comply with any of these obligations:

- User consent can be collected _when the cookie is used_ rather than preemptively.

- Information can be provided when consent is asked and/or at a specific URL linked from the footer.

- Documenting and storing is a no-brainer.

- Allowing users to access the service without certain cookies is also a no-brainer.

- Allowing the user to change their mind can also be a simple form at a specific URL linked from the footer.

So-called cookie banners exist because they are simpler and cheaper than designing online services properly.
> Maybe the notifications are the major problem

For me notifications are the main problem, and that's exactly why smartwatches have helped reduce my phone time.

I still carry my phone on me when I have my smartwatch, but even then, it has reduced my phone use. One of the common ways I'd get sucked into my phone was that I'd get a notification, pull out my phone to look at it, and then get distracted by something else. With my smartwatch, I see the notification on the tiny screen, and only take my phone out if it's something that requires a reply/action right away.

Turning off notifications (either for everything or per app) doesn't work for me, because I do want to receive notifications for time sensitive things (ex. "Let's meet at XYZ in 30 mins"), and the classification for immediate action or not isn't based on the app or the sender (one Facebook message might be require immediate action, while another, even from the same person, may not).

It's not perfect; there's still the problem of taking out my phone not due to a notification, but it has solved one major class of problems.

> we will bring forth the apocalypse.

This word is often misused. Are you still worried about someone bringing it forth, now that you know what it means?

apocalypse (n.)

late 14c., "revelation, disclosure," from Church Latin apocalypsis "revelation," from Greek apokalyptein "uncover, disclose, reveal," from apo "off, away from" (see apo-) + kalyptein "to cover, conceal" (from PIE root *kel- (1) "to cover, conceal, save"). The Christian end-of-the-world story is part of the revelation in John of Patmos' book "Apokalypsis" (a title rendered into English as pocalipsis c. 1050, "Apocalypse" c. 1230, and "Revelation" by Wyclif c. 1380).

"SiFive (who have ventured into making RISC-V chips)"

SiFive don't make RISC-V chips, except in small volumes as a demonstration. Their business is licensing CPU cores to companies that do make chips.

"Horse Creek", as its naming style suggests, is an Intel product that uses licensed SiFive CPU cores. SiFive will use the chip to make high priced dev boards. We don't know yet who else will use it.

The apparent success of the project is likely to get other SiFive customers to, as you say, use Intel Foundry Services instead of the traditional TSMC or Samsung.

I don't know whether Intel is designing high performance RISC-V cores of their own. It's not unlikely. But there are also others announced to be providing cores to Intel Foundry Services including Rivos who are developing an M1-class RISC-V core (they have a number of Apple's core designers, including some of the founders of PA Semi who Apple bought to establish their CPU design team in the first place)
They mentioned "switching" which implies an already working solution. Within that context, yeah, maybe wait a few months if you can afford to.

Also, once the spec is finalized, there may also be a compliant polyfill available. If so, you'll get the functionality early and still have good compatibility down the line.
Well part of the reason that famines were reduced in parts of Europe was precisely that capitalism/imperialism exported misery abroad, sometimes across the world, sometimes next door (see the Irish Famine). Those "NW Europe" countries you refer were the metropoles of empires or otherwise were at the top of the food chain of the economic system. It is natural they they were the first tk benefit from industrial-age exponential growth in productivity. It's funny that you say "it's just unevenly distributed", as if that wasn't a fundamental feature of capitalism ;)

Anyway, I would pin it rather on technological developments, than exactly the system of capitalism.

So? Android is Linux only in the most technical sense, but not in the sense most people care about.

- you’re not free to switch distros like you can with conventional Linux hardware

- you cannot run a conventional Linux userland except for sad parodies of it that work out of a “chroot”

- X11 and Wayland support is limited

Android is diet Linux, not the real thing.

This is the reason I support Elon's idea of having a colony on mars to reduce the risk of human extinction. Any incoming missile to mars from earth would easily get noticed and deflected or blown in space itself. It's not a question of if, but when that some maniac finally presses the nuke button here on earth with no country interested in nuclear disarmament and ever increasing geopolitical tensions with mad dictators increasingly gaining power. A Mars colony will atleast increase our odds of survival, hope it happens in my lifetime.

Two points I find interesting (direct quotes):

"They say the most immediate potential use for the new technology is in industrial locations where permanent hydrogen fuel supply lines are already in place." - so not actually applicable to regular cars but rather industrial equipment/large engines.

"The research team hope to be able to commercialise the new system in the next 12 to 24 months" - so hopefully this happens within a reasonable time frame.
I'm a little confused on the usage of "imminent" as a term associated with high probability of an event, to the extent of requiring immediate action, and the actual "one-in-six chance of... ".
this one works well for me also.
Ask HN: Bored working for the current company, advice?
I'm tired of working at my current company as an employee mainly due to how the company is being managed for the last ~5 years and considering moving to contracting or another company with more flexibility (4 days week?) and maybe a better career path. I was a contractor when I moved to the UK to work for the current company.

Might be too specific to my case, but maybe someone out there has gone through something similar in the past/recently?

About me: from EU, early 40s, 2 kids and wife, over 15 years experience as full stack dev, based in the UK working for the same company for 7+ years in a stable full stack role remotely since the pandemic as the company sole dev/sysadmin, earning £60k+ ($66k) per year.

About the company: small/medium(?) size company (13 employees + 1 owner/director, ~£15m ($16m) turnover per year), 12+ years trading, I report to the director.

I feel stuck and bored as there is no progress to be made due to it being a private owned business with one director. A lot of decisions taken benefit the director personally instead of the company as a whole.

I want more time to get back in education, but working 9-5/Mon-Fri is really draining and when I finish work I just want to get some rest. I have 3 months emergency fund that could pay for the house expenses if I decide to leave.

There are no benefits except what's required by law (28 holidays, including bank holidays, 3% pension match), no education budget, no perks.

Perhaps I need to look for a bigger company with a better career path?
Maybe get back to contracting?

Thanks

First of all, linking to pthreads and hoping for the best is a really dumb idea in Hare. However, the standard library could be forked (or a new one written) which provides good threads support, and Vulcan is one such standard library implementation, as discussed in the article.

With respect to this paper, it's interesting but mainly considers a C audience and makes many assumptions which do not apply to Hare. For instance, the kind of optimizations discussed in section 4.1 are prohibited by the Hare specification. So too for section 4.2, and much of the remainder of the paper deals with optimizations of this nature. Hare's approach is specifically to eschew many of these kinds of optimizations, such that the program you write is very similar to the program that runs, even at the cost of performance. The programmer is expected to optimize their program in many cases, rather than expecting the compiler to do it -- at a great potential cost to correctness and debuggability.

Anyway, this was an interesting read, thanks for sharing!
I disagree with this, I don't think it's a good look to use a free service with limited resources for something commercial; it's just bound to cause conflicts.

If the article's central point is going to be "younger people deem GIFs cringe but many people deem them an art expression" then there's nothing much to discuss in there.

I thought it would discuss replacing GIFs with small and well-compressed videos but nope, it's mostly about what youngsters find cringe and what other people deem art. MP4s are mentioned to be smaller -- very briefly.

And services serving looping MP4s in the place of GIFs has been the case for a while. Even an irrelevant platform like 9GAG woke up to it some years ago and is happily saving bandwidth and traffic that way.

That's literally all of that wordy and uninteresting article. Saved you a click.
