Actually a whole hell of a lot of Americans are totally in favor of locking a bunch of people up, destroying lives for nothing, punishing people they hate, spreading diseases like HIV and COVID throughout their communities then withholding health care and clean needles and masks, and totally racist to the core. And it's always been that way.

If you want to see a whole lot of people act truly apoplectic at a bald-face ploy, then just watch the MAGA mob's reaction to the earth-shattering life-changing fact that a fictional cartoon character named "Velma" finally came out as lesbian and fell in love.

The left's reaction:

Fans cheer as Velma is shown crushing on a woman in the new Scooby-Doo movie:

The right's reaction:

Conservatives Are Now Freaking Out About [Spins Wheel] a Lesbian in ‘Scooby Doo’. The classic cartoon's Halloween special portrays Velma as queer, and right-wing pundits can't cope:

FOX News Goes Through the Motions Proclaiming 'Scooby Doo' is Woke Because Velma is Gay:

Fox guest loses his mind over Scooby Doo’s Velma being gay & compares it to bestiality. He told Laura Ingraham that Velma being gay is "really offensive" to him because it "sexualizes" her.

You're absolutely wrong, and in denial of reality. The rest of your conclusions are based on believing a lie.
Actually, the nuclear steam supply system is only a small part of the cost of a nuclear power plant (about 12%).

Honestly, dude, you have made a killing not just defying the narrative that BTC is a scam/ponzi around here, but you've improved the protocol while proving them all wrong. YC backed Coinbase and these people cheered them on as the 'legit' exchange, all while they continue to get more lawsuits and their stock price plummets and BTC stabilizes to 2017 ATH.

With that said, after nearly a decade as both a lurker and a member of HN I've come to realize that it's perhaps the worst place to get a real pulse on disruptive tech; they covet the idea of working as FAANG foot-soldiers and have become complacent and comfortable, why should these people ever be taken serious?

Also worth noting, that WSB has been beating the market with the inverse cramer meme for some time so it was only a matter of time until this got traction.

Can we have a little more context from the study. Nothing is said about diet pattern and content.

Given the fact that modern diet is mostly linoleic acid (omega6) known to be very poisonous. Known the fact the omega3 can remediate a little the negative effect of omega6 poisonous effect.
Aren’t this study just observing this remediation effect that should not exist if we were respecting natural diet for human: low in PUFA, high in SFA.

So know let’s setup a clear study between high SFA group (with zero o6) and high pUFa group.

Anything else is just science tartuffery.
Steve Jobs turned the ideas in that quote into a commencement speech after his cancer diagnosis. It concludes with:

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
My favourite console text editor on Linux. I wrote about it here:

Standard keystrokes and mouse support! On the console, without X!

Either of those alone would be enough, but both together is a killer combination.
The most expensive bit in a building is the land it sits on. The denser the cluster of people the more expensive the land becomes. People cluster around jobs. The more the jobs get distributed geographically the less people need to cluster and the more affordable housing becomes.

Remote work is the way to solve the housing crisis. There can be smaller regional clusters of people working in shared offices or small offices but there’s no real need for cramming people in offices in densely populated cities.

Free range chicken and cattle farms have minimum space requirements, yet human farms require people to sit in overcrowded spaces at least 8 hours a day every day usually limited to the space of a seat and a desk.
There is nobody with this viewpoint in government. Quite the opposite, the government are running up huge debt subsidising the hell out of people's gas consumption, incentivising them to gobble it, which raises the risk of it running out as mentioned in the linked article. Why do you prefer this? It seems much more disruptive.
The effects on the population in the vicinity of Three Mile Island from radioactive releases measured during the accident, if any, will certainly be nonmeasurable and nondetectable. During the course of the accident, approximately 2.5 million curies of radioactive noble gases and 15 curies of radioiodines were released. These releases resulted in an average dose of 1.4 mrem to the approximately two million people in the site area.

This average dose is less than 1 % of the annual dose from both natural background radiation and medical practice. The 1.4-mrem dose may also be compared to differences in annual doses in background radiation from living in a brick versus a frame house, an additional 14 mrem/yr; or living in the high altitude of Denver rather than in Harrisburg, an additional 80 mrem/yr.

The effect of this total dose, averaged over the population in the site area, will be to produce between none and one additional fatal cancer, and between none and one and a half total (fatal and nonfatal) cancers, over the lifetime of the population. In comparison, approximately a half million cancers are expected to develop from all other sources during this same lifetime.

I don't know if the previous commenter was saying all two million people in the area are black, but they do seem to be considered in this Three Mile Island Report volume 1[1], page 153.

Wish I had kids when I was in my early 20s rather than my early-mid 30s.
I would agree, but I think it is important to remember that people have very short memories, so doing it then may not benefit the election now.

The implication is that the best choice is to steadily do things like this, so the benefits are always forward in our minds. The issue is more just one off events not really matching our goals or expectations, I think.
A very long time ago I had to write some throwaway code on a laptop with an European keyboard with {} in very inconvenient positions (requiring pressing the alt key). I resorted to digraphs and I don't regret it.
Yeah but those weren't things I'd forgotten and was trying to remember. I just wouldn't have thought about them without the trigger.
That's a big assumption to have a working computer, screen, electricity etc. More interesting is the no-electricity scenario. Then I would made 4 books - one out of etched metal, another out of etched plastic, spring bound. One pair describing how to make metals and steels in as many simple ways as possible. Another pair about making electricity.
You can switch careers many times and at any age , you can even take up a new job without making a career out of it, simply to experience the work and to either get some insight (if, say, you're designing an app) or to help out some people who are short handed.

That said, there are really only two criteria for sliding into a new job area:

* people that will actually hire you | allow you to work along side them,

* your ability to not be a dead weight and to assist in at least the TA | fetching food and drink | cleaning away tools and cables | etc dogsbody roles.

It takes a long time to master many trades, it takes far less time to take part at the lowest levels and to start learning.

My background is folk that take pride in being jack of all trades master of none, I've specialised a little and can count myself jack of many trades, 'master' of a few.

Submissions for the Hutter price also include the size of the compressor in the "total size". So I assume that's hard to beat if you use huge neural networks on the compression size, even if decompression is fast enough.
I'm using namespaced-openvpn to restrict transmission to one network and you could limit the amount of concurrently active files to one, effectively downloading them sequentially. Or do you want to download each file sequentially?
These algorithms are provably correct, and it will only generate provably correct algorithms (as the paper goes into).
I disagree. Bash basically cannot be used correctly. It's like gets() in C; a knife with a blade but no handle. Unsafe at any speed.

https://blog.habets.se/2021/06/The-uselessness-of-bash.html

C++ can be used correctly. It's easier since C++11, with smart pointers and stuff. I'm not going to argue that writing solid C++ is easy, but it IS possible.

Bash basically can't be used correctly. Even a simple command pipeline of three commands, with actual error handling, is probably more code in bash than in any other language.
It's why PET scans work well on cancer patients, they inject you with a glucose analog that has a radioactive marker.
For all the talk of left wing sjw cancel culture (which I don't condone one bit for the record), the right wing certainly has it's share.

But both are really just an effect of the democratization of the internet and information dissemination that we didn't see coming in the 90ies: mob rule, which threatens to stifle free speech as much as any autocratic government.

There is still no consensus on how to deal with it as far as I can tell.
There's an obvious elephant in the room here which is not discussed. 10k hours might let you master something (and even that claim is questionable like others have mentioned) but why do you need to be a "master" to switch careers?

Being better at (say) web development than all the other people in your company that have other skills immediately makes you valuable in a specific way and starts your career shift. You can build up on that over the years.

There are ways to reconfigure your life other than by "Switching". More gradual ways to ease into another career exist and can be worthwhile. Everything comes with a cost though so make sure you're willing to pay it.
I thought the same and bought a few older systems. Now they gather dust on a shelf, because I got bored of them after a few hours. But at least the feeling of need is gone, I guess?
Hard to know what the point is of this line of reasoning. Someone or some company thought it was interesting, so they made it.
This is a plug-and-play solution bundling Transmission and the most common VPN configurations in a Docker container, ensuring that all torrent traffic goes via an active VPN connection. After configuring it, you just run "docker-compose up" and can then access Transmission via its web UI. It could be nice to have this built into the client, but using a container feels safer.

https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn
I run my torrent client in a container and have that container only go out the vpn. Works very well without screwing with computer wide network settings.
How expensive is your housing per square foot? I suspect cloud storage is cheaper.
> No nuclear plant built since Chernobyl will have an incident as bad as Chernobyl. Passive safety is a given now.

Current reactors are burner reactors. They cannot power the world (there is not enough sufficiently cheap uranium). To power the world, breeder reactors are needed.

Breeder reactors will burn the bred isotopes, either Pu isotopes or U-233. These isotopes, when fissioned, produce about half the delayed neutrons of U-235. As a result, reactors burning them are skating closer to the edge of prompt criticality than today's reactors. Chernobyl was a prompt criticality accident. A prompt criticality accident in a fast reactor (any breeder using Pu will be a fast reactor) is potentially much more serious than even Chernobyl.
Linoleic acid is an essential nutrient—we must eat it as a part of our diet. Did you mean poisonous at high dosages?
Yes indeed, it's very interesting to read, but he also has a great sense of humor that makes it even better to read.
I don't see how the voters are complicit in any of this.

Human beings also have their own schedules and priorities. People are more stressed out and busy than ever. Inflation is rampant due to a war in Europe that regular people (especially those outside of Europe) had no power to avoid. Every year technology and social media get ever-more complex and sophisticated, demanding more and more awareness and discipline from people to avoid collapsing into a black hole of time-wasting.

Likewise, the problems facing societies at the national level and humanity at the global level have become unbelievably technical and complicated, yet we expect voters to navigate them like experts and deliver a miracle in the voting both? How has this idea not become widely seen for what it is: an absurd fantasy.
I tried `ee` recently on FreeBSD. It's weird.

That's the thing. Everyone still things it's OK on xNix to just invent your own keystrokes. It is not OK. There has been a standard for over one-third of a century now and every mainstream OS, including most Linux GUIs, follows it.

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

I think that these days people just don't know how to operate a GUI with a keyboard, which is why so many Linux GUIs are inaccessible to blind users.

If you can't see, you can't use a mouse. You can't see where it's going.

But computers are extremely valuable to blind users: they can read for you.

By ignoring keyboard access, FOSS OSes are excluding blind users, who could be among their most valuable and passionate supporters... because blind people tend not to be rich and tend not to have much disposable income.
I am attaching some thoughts regarding the recent DeepMind AI research paper "Discovering faster matrix multiplication algorithms with reinforcement learning". The paper was published 2 days ago in Nature Journal. It would be interesting to hear what you think about how AI can help with new algorithms development and what is a role of scientist here.

The issue that you seem to be skirting around but not mentioning is, the chance a chip has a defect increases with die area since defects are randomly distributed across the surface of the wafer. Chiplets are a way for manufacturers to practically increase die area while keeping yields high.

No (at least not entirely: some steps are done in a vacuum or very low pressure), in part because it's harder to get a vacuum than clean enough air. Also it would cause a lot of other problems as well as not solving the whole problem: a lot of processing steps involve applying chemicals to the surface of the wafer, washing off those chemicals, or otherwise handling liquids which would boil in a vacuum. Those chemicals (including just plain water), also carry the same risk of introducing 'killer particles', so they are also a big part of the process control needed in a fab (the levels of contaminants in water that is required on modern process nodes is actually lower than can be detected practically with current technology: the last levels of water purification are effectively done blind, with yield as the only feedback mechanism).
Hopefully they are doing VHDL with formal verification, for the sake of their data consistency.
One interesting point is that even if Moore's law stops or slows down, chiplets allow us to increase transistor count independently of transistor density. Thus keeping alive the spirit of the law (processors get more and more transistors).
I wonder how M-Discs verifiably stack up in comparison.
Well, if part of your job is to incent the defendant to offer a settlement, then you're fighting a PR battle.

> 3. Samsung is also the reason why we have "nm" numbers that dont at least correlate to something. ( 99.9999% of the Internet blame TSMC for it ) And those numbers you see on roadmap means nothing.

I thought the reason for this is that the quoted nm numbers in a modern process node where pretty much for the most optimal kinda gate in the most dense layout (maybe something like SRAM?).
As is their right and somehow even their duty if it is not in alignment with the project's philosophy or goals.

You can create a fork and implement the feature or pay someone to implement it for you. That's the wonderful benefit of free software.
Even if your technical argument would be correct (it's not), you would be trying to fix the problems of democracy by purposefully skewing the vote away from the desires of the electorate. That's a bad idea because it prevents democracy from working and exposing the leaders to the unfiltered democratic will of the people; so you get unaccountable leaders that can maintain power by gaming the system instead of catering for the interest of the public.

Essentially, any power-mad dictator and authoritarian regime has some variant of this argument. Yes, we love democracy and voting, but we definitely cannot let those kinds of people vote or get elected. You are just espousing the softer version still accepted in some countries of "yes, the voting system is not ideal but it gives our side an advantage for now, realpolitik always trumps democratic principles".

This is why the government advertised figures for inflation are bullshit. The real inflation over the past 3 decades is much higher because of both skimpflation and the fact that they keep adjusting the basket of goods inflation is measured against.

It is the responsibility of a UI/UX, and front-end web developer to implement interactive and visual design principles on websites and web applications in order to create a satisfying and unified user experience. To create responsive designs, these developers make use of HTML, CSS, and other design tools.
When you use a website, app, or other electronic device, you interact with screens, buttons, toggles, icons, and other visual elements known as UI. The entire experience of using a product, including how you feel about it, is referred to as the user experience (UX).
The user interface for an app, website, or other interactive media is created by UI/UX designers. Before developing concepts that can be conveyed through the use of storyboards, their work involves working with developers and product managers to gather user requirements. They also process sitemaps or flows.
JavaScript is a highly productive for Web Applications, although I also heavily use other alternatives for several reasons, But regardless, that is why it is my candidate for the best programming language especially working with the Web and Web applications in general. Anything beyond that is either niches or outside general purpose web. JavaScript can do:

- advance web applications (electron, NodeJS)

- ETL on the go (i.e. fetch, JSON, DOM, SVG)

- data visualization (i.e. d3, three.js, etc.)

- dependency management (i.e. NPM, CDN, ESM like in Deno)

- learning resources in general (extremely abundant and comprehensive on various sources)

It is hard not to learn JavaScript, it is almost everywhere. Also having to learn the 2nd or the 3rd programming language should also fill-in those gaps, even those huge gaps.
My father was a alcoholic, who had long stretches of staying sober before always falling of the wagon again.

After he had been on a particularly long bender, which finally caused my mother to divorce him, me and him had a verbal fight where I decided I would not have more to do with him until he would seek the help we knew he needed (and we had been offering him for so long).

I'll add that he was a moody drunk, never abusive and when not drunk he was the sweetest person.

Some months later he fell badly while drunk, and hit his head. The resulting internal bleeding caused damage to his prefrontal cortex, which resulted in personality changes and loss of inhibition.

Within the year he had a heart attack, alone in his apartment, having ravaged his body with the lifestyle he lived.

I wish I had been less stubborn, more understanding, and would have helped him get through his illness at the time. But I was only in my early 20s at the time, with much left to learn.

Yep. The Matrix screensaver took over my office by storm in 1999.
Sorry, but this simply does not make any sense.

Algorithmic correctness does not vary in different contexts.

Algorithmic usefulness/applicability does.

You are confusing the two.

Correctness here means that it provably generates a result that meets the definition of correct matrix multiplication.

In this case, they prove that all algorithms generated do (and that the system will actually only generate provably correct algorithms).

Applicability here is whether, when applied to a particular {not-infinite precision computer, use case}, it is viable to use it.

That does not affect whether the algorithm is correct or not, only whether you can use it to achieve a particular result.

If i have a computer with 1 bit of floating point precision, that does not make the algorithms all suddenly incorrect. Within the bounds of the what i can provide (not a lot), they still function exactly as they are supposed to. If i need 75 significant digits on this computer, it simply means that they are not useful for my computer because it cannot generate enough significant digits from them to be useful. That is totally orthogonal to whether the algorithms function as designed.
When voters accept “I’ll accept nonsense and still vote for whatever ‘my’ party puts in front of me”, eventually (over decades), they bear some non-zero responsibility for the outcome they get.
