Came here to say this. I have a highly evolved note taking methodology/snippet setup(common MAC address prefixes etc)/auto-insert timestamp every line that I use VS Code for. If I spoke to someone 15 months ago, I can tell you who and the exact time/day and some shorthand notes about the call.

These notes are invaluable.
These are the rules for elections in Sweden; one year until you can vote in local elections, five years for national elections. You should always research this when entering a new country for work, applying for citizenship is usually a very rigid process, and it will depend on the time you send in you application. I do not know if these rules are the same all over EU.

About cooperation between countries; At least the gears are turning, even if it is not somethings that is high on the political agenda. The biggest issue is to have a central database that maps one identity in one country to another. We have not even figured out Inter-country Electronic IDs (via EIDAS) yet, there is no way to even do a manual match of identities between countries using eID. That makes it impossible for you to log on and check your pensions if you work in the wrong country.
I am from the East Lansing area and went to high school in Okemos. I know both communities very well. I've spent 30 years in developer and founder circles and never knew a single person from this company. The company's original headquarters is near my old high school in what was once a lumber yard. They were getting ready to move into an old department store that is owned by the city of East Lansing.

This company was exceedingly good at getting money from both the local economic development people as well as the state. Told someone today that I felt like I was in the middle of a spy novel ;<).

It is also the first time to my knowledge the little village of Okemos was ever mentioned in the old grey lady (aka NYT).

Here's how local media covered the story:

There are comments from more than ten years ago complaining about the unfairness of exams being on matter which wasn't even seen, so it may just be accumulation of complaints and previous conflicts with university administration coming to a head.
Thanks for that. The main criticism is that "it looks like a curve fit". Indeed it does; the paper talks at length about this very thing. (Mostly in the 400 page supplementary paper S1.)

But the thing is, the curves (Moore's and Wright's) apply to a lot of technologies undergoing rapid expansion. That's actually the science contribution of the paper: setting out a better way to make policy-relevant forecasts, and hopefully ending the abysmal track record of forecasts that is documented in the paper.

(I can see ways to get at least 67% cost reductions in both wind and PV from where we are now, and I'm just an interested layman. So in at least the near term we will likely keep following the curves. Yes, actual work has to be done, but there's no voodoo. Just like with microprocessors.)

Google Pixel 6 Pro again failing to connect to 911 as of Sept. 27, 2022
Tomorrow is the launch of the Pixel 7 series and another report has popped up on Reddit about a Pixel 6 failing to connect on an emergency call.

There have been multiple reports of this issue this year, long after the issue caused by Microsoft Teams (and other similar apps) was patched in January, but as far as I've been able to find Google has not even acknowledged the issue publicly.

As a long time a Pixel user who is planning to get a 7 and the new Pixel Watch, I really hope someone from Google sees this and the company can at least acknowledge it.
haha, no worries. glad it helped!

And America can't afford to lose business with China. So China will make the calculation that it can get away with an invasion of Taiwan.

"As for the code itself, we perform a remarkably effective loop optimization that detects 16-bit index operations that can be converted to a 16-bit index plus an 8-bit offset. The latter is a directly-supported addressing mode on the 6502, and 8-bit index manipulation can be done in a single instruction.

This allows us to convert idiomatic 16-bit "int c" loops into something much more suitable for the 6502. Eventually, we hope that optimizations of this kind will transform standard, naive C code into tightly optimized 6502 code. "

There it no reason to kill existing product when you have a new. Merging instagram into metaverse won't make sense until people have some reasonable way to experience metaverse - and majority does not and wont have for a foreseable future.. And even then it wont be appropriate in many context where people watch instagram these days - public transport, work, toilets.. cant imagine anyone bringing their vr/ar goggles to these places..
You are trying to look at it from a rational person point of view with your own biases, but the other side may think entirely differently. For instance, they may come to a conclusion that they have enough know how to go their own way. Feed some nationalist delusions, discouragement of critical thinking growing over the years and the nation may believe this is actually achievable. Then they may think the attack on Taiwan is just the right thing to do and if "imperialist America" does not like it, they can eat their Apple themselves. Etc.
If anything, such intertwining of economies may actually prevent countries willing to help the attacked side from doing anything apart from token gestures out of fear their supply chains get destroyed. After all why should they care about some island thousands miles away, whereas if they weren't in any way dependent they could have rushed to help.
> Python is provably slower than C/C++

Eh. Is it though? For all possible operations? Are you sure? Which implementation are you using? CPython? PyPy? Are you comparing the exact same algorithms implemented in both languages?

Modern CPUs are pretty good at executing bytecode-based languages, as there's usually a main loop that fits in cache.

A C program can jump all over the place and easily blow caches. It's also easy to access memory in ways that are suboptimal. Because of the difficulty of managing memory, C code tends to free stuff way too quickly. GC languages have an advantage there, as they don't necessarily reclaim the memory immediately, saving malloc/free cycles (at the cost of RAM usage). That's even more of a problem for C++.

Once you have profiled your Python program and found out that there isn't anything else you can do to run faster – including changing your algorithm (something that's easier to do in Python), then you can start thinking about rewriting the section in C on ASM.
I’ve been getting out a lot, it definitely helps some. After going to a few coworking spaces, I noticed they all have their own cultures.

Its a very comprehensive book but takes some dedicated effort to get through. It goes through most (all?) important concepts from barrowing to iterator traits to some async. Give yourself a fair amount of time to read this and find small projects to do along the way to reinforce your knowledge.
> and the slow step in training is the outer product of two matrices.... I don't believe there is an algorithmic way out of that one.

Well, there are several, but the obvious ones tend to require strange or unrealistic assumptions about the hardware. The most obvious such assumption, IMO, being that the hardware is arranged in 3D space in a manner roughly analogous to a human brain, which tends to be at odds with the common practice of mostly-planar photolithography, and with the preference to be able to change the network topology experimentally without building new hardware.
Not in the least. It's a nice break from the wife and kid.
What seems really odd is that they don't have any data accusing him of cheating after his initial 2020 ban/new account creation.

They conclude that while there are several unusual things about his OTB play, there is not enough for them to conclude he probably cheated.

Basically the biggest takeaway here is that he definitely publicly lied about the extent of his cheating prior to his original ban.

> it uses data from the internet and human experts to figure out if certain claims are harmful. (It even claims to be able to spot dog whistles, seemingly innocuous phrases that actually refer to something with a darker meaning.)

How quickly it expands from misinformation, to all "harmful" content. No word on whether harmful content that is truthful will be allowed, or if beneficial content that is false will be censored.

And we all agree on what is harmful or beneficial, so I foresee no problems there.

My guess(reading the article now) is that it is an explosively formed magnetic field. that is, the explosion is part of the process.

For EM fields(same thing?) you can build a flux compression generator, a coil of wire around an explosive rod. run a current in the wire to form a magnetic field, as the explosive explodes from one end to the other the field compresses to form a high energy pulse.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosively_pumped_flux_compre...

edit: As best I understand, it is similar to an explosively formed field but uses one magnet to compress the other. the explosion was halfway expected, the compressed magnet was expected to tear itself apart, however the field was higher than expected and damaged the enclosure.
Once you have a stable setup you could even shut off public SSH and instead have it available only over Wireguard (I saw you already mentioned Tailscale). Tor Hidden Services are also an option that are straightforward to set up (you don't even need to think about fw/nat as long as you have tor access) but a bit off gaps in terms of recent accessible docs. If comments indicate interest I may get around to publishing some stuff on that lying around in the drafts folder.
What's the purpose of this? I can think of ways to use/abuse it, but there has to be a specific reason that it was added as a feature to git.

Oh, it's very likely it could be the car dealership.

I bought a vehicle from a major dealership, their paperwork had my name mispelled, but I didn't say anything or correct it.

I registered the vehicle with the state with the correct spelling of my name.

I started getting snailmail car warrenty spam with my mispelled name shortly after I bought the car.

The dealership said those spammers must have got it from the state's vehicle registry. I told them my name is mispelled on their paperwork and is mispelled exactly the same way on the spam, but is spelled correctly on the vehicle registration. *crickets*

The mechanism is this typically:

1. Deny fact "X" either historical, scientific, or otherwise provable -- meanwhile never disclosing your ulterior motives.

2. Argue from first principles that people who believe "X" should be allowed to say it no matter how repulsive or dangerous it is.

3. Debate endlessly to make it seem that "X" is more controversial in its widespread belief than it is. (Search HN for the Ivermectin). Aso, make sure to engage in whataboutery, false premises, strawman arguments, or demonization of those who support "X". (See Dr. Fauci)

4. Complain when someone (or a group of people or a corporation) decide to not let your arguments against "X" on their network as censorship.

Me too, to some degree. I have discovered them in a Ruby code base at work, in the middle of a line of code (copy pasted), where the Ruby interpreter thinks they are undeclared identifiers. When the code runs, it throws an exception every time that complains of “Undeclared identifier `‘”.

No advice but I can share my perspectives. I happened to be at the right place at the right time to start a company and be an early player in a new technology that created a multi-billion market that didn't exist before. I happened to have the cross-trained in the right combination of skills and showed up at the right time. Skill alone wouldn't have been enough.

Try to be forward thinking about what trends might be coming. It used to be easier to do this but now everyone hops on trends quickly so it's harder to maintain a head start.

I'm looking at my next venture right now and I'm mostly focused on the overall macro picture surrounding the growth prospects of an industry. Things like population dynamics are playing a bigger part of how I see opportunity. The best CEO won't accomplish much in a dying or flat industry.

Ignore people who say "X is saturated". Everything is saturated. What matters is if the market is going to grow.

Now I'm more focused on wealth deployment and preservation and trying to focus less on building new things. Building is where my passion is but it's high risk and I don't need to be taking risks anymore.

The danger is less with automation and more with the speed of automation.

It's hard to retrain. When the change happens between generations there's a natural progression with parent: stable hand, child: mechanic.

When it happens 1-2-5 times in a person's career, then those are some really painful resets.

Sure, some will swim. But the social contract with democracy isn't that "some" swim, it's that "almost everyone swims" (which we generally call "everybody", but that's a separate discussion).

Long term and across society automation is absolutely positive sum. But short-to-long term for those on the short end of the stick it's clearly not.
Yes —hard should lose files without confirmation

Yes you made a commit by initializing (your HEAD points to the state of the repo that has zero files and reset —-hard to that state means “make my repo have that empty state and don’t ask me to confirm whatever is changed or deletes in order to get there”).

Git has lots of sharp edges and surprising things but this is completely unsurprising to me. I think your misunderstanding here is around what “reset —hard” does. I think with a mental model including the root (empty) state of the repo it’s easier to understand.

You may want your services to have good availability while being able to shut off and reboot your (likely power-hungry) desktop without concern.

Or you have a hardware issue and now you lack both the infra and the workstation so getting things up and running again becomes triply annoying.
If "x64" can refer to amd64 or Intel 64, then it can also refer to PPC64, aarch64, mips64, et cetera.

But Intel 64, amd64, x86_64, x86, all work because none are ambiguous or misleading. "IA-32e" would be confusing, but at least it refers to a specific Intel marketing term that one can look up. They're specific enough to avoid ambiguity.

(to be fair, "Intel 64" could refer to Itanic, so that's not as unambiguous as it could be, but without context, it's reasonable most would assume it refers to 64 bit x86)
History will treat them the same way residential native schools are being treated now.

In the name of protecting [minorities, child, women, lgbt, etc] many harms will be done.

IIRC, it won't run them all at the _same time_, it will run them in parallel, which ends up being limited by the value of `max_parallel_workers` in your config. So if you find that parallel operations are swamping your DB, maybe trying stepping that config down a bit. In general, queries that span several partitions shouldn't be a problem. Hitting _all_ partitions for a really big table, that's another thing entirely. But since you're partitioned you really ought to be limiting by the value of the partition key in your queries anyways...
