He is still a fool. He says he wakes up everyday felling like he is getting punched in the stomach. What more proof do you need?
> Yes, any new thing is expensive. These points are not necessarily intrinsic to the process.

It's not expensive just because it's new, it's expensive because it's trying to do a very very difficult thing - using magnets to achieve what the entire mass of Jupiter can't achieve, compress hydrogen so much that it starts fusing, and then keeping it compressed while it's essentially violently exploding - and exploding in a rain of extremely fast heavy particles that don't interact with the magnets at all.
+1 to that request. If it matters I am computer programmer that also thinks that most of what we do has become immoral by this point.
A common alternative solution in this case would be to use an adaptive thresholding technique such as Otsu’s method.
In Jerry's case it was more likely chili dogs. He fell into a diabetic coma in '86, after which he had to relearn how to play guitar. It really aged him.

I believe opiates do mess with your hormones, which could have subtle effects which do affect lifespan, but yeah, I mostly agree. Opiates won't seriously damage your health if you are responsible.
Genocides?
I'll give you this: nuclear proponents are really dedicated to twisting the facts to fit the narrative. "Actually, yes, large fan blades in landfills are worse than nuclear waste." Good stuff.

It looks less silly when you acknowledge the problems while explaining how they are outweighed by the benefits.
I read it at a similar time, and I remember that feeling well. However, if you revisit it with a critical eye, you find a hundred places where a result isn’t checked, bounds aren’t checked, memory is leaked and so on.

All of this was pretty much fine in the context in which it was written, but these days bullet-proofing things is pretty much mandatory and K&R’s elegance disappears in the face of such challenges.
Putin uses tactical nukes or a nuclear disaster to create a buffer zone in between his newly acquired territories and the rest of Ukraine. No nuclear retaliation will happen and if there is any retaliation on his newly acquired territories, he will nuke those too, to create an even bigger buffer zone. This was all about buffer zones and lack of missiles close to their border.

And will we then get to collect the profits while being able to claim that we're benevolent because we've helped, or are we actually gifting the infrastructure to them?
"The relationship between tyranny and surveillance means we need better governments, not more anonymity."

"Better governments" is not actionable, people have been wanting that since Socratese. Might as well wish for the second coming.

The real answer is to just let people know about the fakery, then they'll stop believing every video and the trolls will be defanged.
Definitions aside, there is definitely a qualitative difference between Putin and Mussolini/Hitler.
How does it make sense to have two totally different standards for verifying the identities of arriving visitors? Airports are super strict, but at the southern borders anyone can come in?
It's not that easy to arbitrarily raising land taxes without doing a lot of economical damage. But you have a point: The land is inside a country and the country make all kinds of rules.
My hunch is that it is a bit of this and a bit of that.

It does index some stuff that appear to indicate it's backed by google, you're getting Google Books results for example. They're also getting GitHub results, which you'll never get if you crawl on your own.

On the other hand there's a heavy skew toward publicly available datasets (wikipedia, stack overflow, reddit), which might indicate they're mixing and matching a bit with publicly available data. Could be wrong though.

Any new takes on search is ultimately a neat thing. I do think it's sadly under-explored design-wise. Google has been so dominant that nobody seems to think search can be anything other than a white page with a plain text input.
Capitalists are liberals, but there might be truth to what you said.
Sabine Hossenfelder had a pretty good video about the issues not yet solved with renewables. In particular we don't have viable method for storage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8xsg9iK5yo

The short version, when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow you need storage. How much, in many places you'd need several weeks of storage.

One way to do storage is to pump water into a reservoir. That is currently 80% of our storage. We'd need 500x what we currently have in that kind of storage to cover our needs. For batteries, we'd need 250,000x the amount of all batteries the currently exist in the entire world. She goes over other methods of storage.

She also goes over how much energy we get from things. Examples:

1kg of oil generates 13 kWh (13 kilowatts for 1 hour or 1 kilowatt for 13 hours)

1kg of coal 8 kWh

1kg of lithium battery 0.2 kWh

1kg of water 2.7 Wh (not kilowatts, watts so 1000x less)

1kg of uranium 24 GWh (24 gigawatts, so 1 million more than oil kilo->mega->giga)

She also goes over how much pollution the storage itself makes.
I assume that republicans are on average older than democrats. If so, has that been taken into account when making this study?
Let's see the definition of "far right"

> [...] far-right politics now include neo-fascism, neo-Nazism, the Third Position, the alt-right, racial supremacism, National Bolshevism (culturally only) and other ideologies or organizations that feature aspects of authoritarian, ultra-nationalist, chauvinist, xenophobic, theocratic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, and/or reactionary views."

Look like Russian regime meets that point too.
One thing is sure. They will found more mass burials like those found in Lyman yesterday
Kelly maximizes (logarithmic) utility.

Kelly is equivalent to decision making based on expected values (of the logarithm of wealth).

Maybe you wanted to say "[...] gain 10 billion dollars, tickets cost 1 dollar. How much of your current dollar wealth [...]".
How about first achieve national consensus that national healthcare should even be a priority? Anyways, in this case, many in the GOP are convinced that the vaccine is worse than the disease. The problem is information and not vaccine availability.
The meta verse will be monetized the same way Apple monetizes the App Store and anything else that goes on through their platform. A percentage cut of all transactions.

That’s why a lot of companies are trying to make the meta verse work. If they’re successful in owning the meta verse they now have a nice big walled garden on which to extract continual rent from.

It’s also very much not what the average person wants so we’ll see how it goes
maybe this is why his second so late... when Sanger fourth perform important found on sequencing something, council told him some like: "we know it is important, but bro you had have three on secequcing something".

The paper goes into it, just vaccinate everybody.
Ford lost money because it couldn’t understand the Indian market not the reason you cited above.

Hyundai and other foreign companies are shining in India.
There are clearly a number of structural and cultural factors at play which are hard to address easily.

But also yes, some of this poetic justice.
On that issue I've never seen a LinkedIn message from a Tiktok recruiter, or heard messages about mass hiring. Anyone know if they operating on a much lower staff count?
Yes genocides. Facebook played a pivotal role in the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar. They even admitted to that, but nobody gives a flying f.
Thank you for the link and answer!
Which is why most workloads bring POSIX for the ride as means to make anything actually usefull.

Kim Jung Gi has died
There are articles about this in various places (I saw it on the front page of cnn, highlighting just how influential he was), and it does feel a bit like the world has lost a Mozart or a Rembrandt. I'm not sure there has ever been anyone like him, or will be again.

Sad day -- only 47 years old, he had so much that everyone thought was still ahead of him.
How much does backlight drift over time? I have a few calibrated monitors with "uniform compensation" that has gotten decidely less uniform over the years.
"Best practices" are just a summary of what someone (or a group of someones) thinks is something that is broadly applicable, allowing you to skip much of the research required to figure out what options there are even available.

Of course, dogmatic adherence to any principle is a problem (including this one).
Tools can be misused, but that doesn't really affect how useful they can be; though I think better tools are generally the kind that people will naturally use correctly, that's not a requirement.
You don't have to like the man but, I think it's pretty clear that running any global social media company is miserable and filled with impossible decisions + people who will hate you no matter what choices you make.

It sounds like many social media CEOs would agree that it's like getting punched in the stomach every day
This can also be blamed on the rightwing corpses.
What about having more patrolling republican dominated areas checking whether people properly wear masks and making vaccines mandatory with punishment for those who refuse them?
Business is business. War is a racket.
That's true only for the first few hundred Ricks. Then people wide up and ignore the child rape videos.

It's inevitable and frankly a hundred Ricks is a price worth paying.
That would be “constructive termination”. It’s too bad the deck is stacked against labor such that it is so hard to actually prove. But that’s why I keep a detailed journal of my activities and make copies of the overwhelmingly positive peer reviews I receive at performance reviews.
Yes, it is broken out by age and vaccination status. Turns out vaccination status is the likely culprit.
Yep, it's exactly what I'm saying. Managing out people is the kind of thing that ought to be punished by law (and in many sensible countries, is). Just fire people.
I feel like you're trying to draw a glib comparison to affirmative action. Shame on you if so - we're talking about people dying needlessly. It's not okay to blame behaviour in either case. This is a systemic issue brought about by the politicisation of science and a lack of robust, independent media.
Isn't it made in China? (edit: I know very little about social networks outside of twitter and finding security holes everywhere in FB back in the day because their engineering was pretty poor).
It does seem a little wasteful to repeatedly transfer something as asynchronous as ads around half the globe when you could just store and serve them from a local data center.
These days, like since C# 1.0.
What if I never feel that way but often the opposite? I'm in college right now and it's mind-blowing to me how everyone else can understand everything so quickly.
> Name one new product that Facebook built from scratch (did not acquire), launched, and made a sustained success of since their original social network.

Marketplace?
To be fair, there was a good amount of soulless, cheap animation back in the 80s and 90s too.

Human creativity is still fine and kicking, it’s just that the curator/gatekeeper were removed, so parents are left on their own to select shows for their kids. Which sucks if your parents can’t be bothered.
Otsu's method finds a single threshold value in an adaptive way. This can't solve a scanned document thresholding problem.

btw: The iOS Notes app has quite a capable document scanning tool. It's cleverly hidden though.
ok, in future, when someone reach 18 years old, government will generate video about that guy fuck everything, from stone to zebra, then publishing to internet. no one can hurt by deepfake anymore.
The law (in many places) gives protection to workers being laid off which it doesn't give to those being fired for inadequate performance. But when a company can change a target value and huge number of people are fired instead of being laid off people need to push back.
All the greater motivation for people to grind for independence from the rat race.
Wow, stop the personal attacks. Remember you're to talking to a person with feelings that put in the work to write an interesting blog.

This behavior is nothing short of antisocial. You're not attacking ideas here you're attacking a person.

Having a little grace for people goes a long way.
If you're a manager at Amazon (which is already known for being barely a level above sweat shops in terms of employee treatment), and even more if you're part of their tech (which, if you're posting on HN, you most likely are), you're making so much money that if you can't afford to spend 6 months without a job, you're frankly irresponsible with your cash.
Isn't tiktok owned by ByteDance, which is a Chinese company (with an ownership percent by the Gov), so they would be hiring in CN? :-)
For context, the CDC reports 24576 homicides in 2021, 19384 of which are firearm related. Don't know if redefining terrorism to include non-politically-motivated homicide is useful.
It still has way more influence than any other EU member and can push its internal agenda more easily.

And since it's also the biggest market in the EU, whatever quirky internal rules and regulations Germany has, get pretty much automatically carried out at EU level by any and all companies looking to do business in the EU.

You talking about mainstream "gaming" monitors? I'm just a programmer and gave up on those long ago. Getting entry level monitors targeted at graphic designers now. Namely Asus ProArt and I think Dell has similar stuff?

They don't have 240 Hz and sub 0.01 ms response times though, so if you're buying your hardware based on bigger numbers in specs they won't do.

They're probably not that great for actual designers either, but they're good enough for me.
If I didn't know context, looks almost stylistically intentional. Crazy to think a few years ago this would have taken untold tens of thousands of man hours to plan and animate, would have probably gone viral and won a bunch of awards. Now it's just an interesting accident from fucking around.
You mean the way Erlang does it? You can replace code while the system is running. In a few lines of code.
TL;DR - Putin and his environment is so insane that we should give him Crimea and parts of Ukraine or else he will nuke all of us.

This could be good idea if he wasn't so insane, because if we give him parts of Ukraine (and let him have all his weapons and stockpiles and factories producing more weapons and now more resources to produce even more weapons) he will probably just try to recover and then attack more of Ukraine, because why not, it worked last time?
Would the voters in Republican-dominated areas stand for that?

> It's sad to see how the medical system fails Republicans.

It has nothing to do with politics.

Excess deaths was because the medical infrastructure was overwhelmed. So ICU services were not available as normal.

From report:

> Overall, our results suggest that political party affiliation only became a substantial risk factor in Ohio and Florida after vaccines were widely available.
> ...
> Lack of individual-level vaccination status limits our ability to draw broad conclusions, but the results suggest that the well-documented differences in vaccination attitudes and reported uptake between Republicans and Democrats [10, 7, 8, 13] have already had serious consequences for the severity and trajectory of the pandemic in the United States.
Is there any evidence to support the hypothesis that the Russian Federation has been behind the deep fakes? Or is it a case of the good old "common it's obvious, common, commooon"?
FWIW the author of this blog post has launched multiple products including one that was acquired by AirBnB (where he went on to launch more products). He's also one of the most sought after advisors.

So while you do have a point about a recent uptick in a certain type of article, this isn't one of them.
My Second Edition K&R (purchased in the mid-90s) is only 272 pages, including the index.
As an aside, can someone here clarify if its possible to open Treasury Direct account for minor citizens with alien parents who are not tax residents.
We're not good at propaganda.
Brilliant. If I was looking to hire an ideas guy I would have you.
In this case the author was a bit silly.

He also used common sense to determine he had no way of determining the probability of a rigged event. And therefore using Bayesian probability looked fancy but didn't help learn anything new. I remember reading first paragraph and thinking wow, bayesian has a way of helping determining the odds of that, but no.

Either he wanted to educate or is so involved with statistics that it became his default way of framing problems.
Sure, but that still doesn't change the fact that this is a big deal.
New Intel CEO on turnaround plans: “I want to win Apple’s business.”
It doesn't seem unfathomable that it could be the case that most advanced civs escape the confines of our limited universe or even evolved outside of it. Considering how many species there are, millions, it seems unlikely that we are at the "top" of the tree of life, but rather that we are unable to detect more advanced "animals" that are part of it.
If you buy stamps from the Royal Mail directly online, perhaps they would keep a register of who bought which stamps.

If you buy stamps from a shop, perhaps a register is kept of which stamps were given to which shops.

I don't know how likely any of this is, but it can definitely make stamp purchases more traceable than without the barcodes.
Sad for the employees but a little part of my heart perks up whenever I hear any story of Facebook failing in any way.

Because of this: "The Python Paradox" [1].

Replace Python (which has become mainstream in the meantime) with any other "weird" language from the article and I think the point still stands.

If it matters I had started learning Python just about when this article was being written/published, and in my early to mid-career that advice of using a "weird" language (Python, at the time) was really good for me, got me into a couple of small companies where I really enjoyed working.

Granted, now I'm already over 40 years of age with a mortgage to pay, I'm a little more flexible when it comes to the technologies being used (even though I would cry myself to work in the early hours of morning were I to use Java, and I'm not kidding), but for people who are quite early in their careers letting them explore and use those "weird" languages will still do them a lot of good in terms of them enjoying their programming work, they might even land on a forum written in Arc.

I always thought that proving a multiplier is correct is an interesting problem. Sure you can check an 8 bit one with all combos, and then scale up the algorithm to more bits, but proving a given implementation doesn't have a bug in one of the gates is more difficult. A 64 bit multiplier has 2^128 possible inputs, so cannot be exhaustively checked. Perhaps formal proof or logic equivalence and handle this, but I'd be interested in seeing how.
Right, Kanban comes from "just in time" factory needs where you've got scarce supplies that feed scarce resources (particular stations). It started on physical index cards representing "parts" that needed to flow through stations. Each station would pull cards representing the parts they need, but weren't allowed to pull more than they could work with at a time. When "parts" run out new ones need to be ordered. Putting it on a central board was all about finding: what parts are needed where, visualizing which ones run out first, and visualizing where the bottlenecks are. (A lot the parts are stuck waiting on a particular station to pull them and maybe that station is blocked for some reason.) At any point if there is too much in any single column "something is wrong". You are missing a column or work isn't flowing right.

Not all the factory needs apply to Software Kanban, but it's still a useful analogy in various ways. Plus not all software for working with Kanban style boards is great at some of things "Physical Kanban" is better at. (Some of the best times I've worked in Kanban board software was eschewed altogether and it was done in index cards on a whiteboard. There is something to be said about physically moving cards around that the software boards don't quite capture.) While the "raw parts" in Software Kanban are generally considered to "backlog items" (features/stories) and are plentiful rather than scarce (and this is one place where the analogy to factory operations kind of breaks down a little bit), in "strict" Kanban each column or "station" is expected to have somewhat strict limits to keep from overloading the team. Only so many tasks in progress in development at once (often capped at one per developer), only so many tasks in progress in QA testing at once (often capped at one per QA person), etc. You can visualize bottlenecks: if there are too many tasks in Development and not enough for QA, maybe the stories are too big for a steady cadence (Development is your bottleneck); if there are too many tasks in QA instead maybe QA is your bottleneck and you need more QA resources. If you need to scroll a column there's probably a bottleneck to fix (or a column/"station" you are missing).

Setting bandwidth limits, finding your "stations" in your column designs to help find and visualize your bottlenecks, is a lot of the art of Kanban. That and Kanban's focus on "pull" rather than "push" are big differences between Kanban done right and Scrum.
have you ever heard of the concept of iterations? do you remember how the first mobile phone looked like? do you remember how the first computer looked like? first laptop ? first electric car ?

that's the point of R&D and long shot, if it was possible already it's not a long shot :/
