Yes, and so that's why we need to study these things now. These aerosols dissipate - you need to continually add them to the atmosphere every few months. The point here is that this a temporary measure to bring down the temperature to prevent additional deaths caused from global warming. If it ended up causing more harm than the co2 alone, this could be stopped. However, when faced with the impossible situation all of humanity is in now, applying a tourniquet to stop the bleeding buys time for decarbonization to happen.
Heya, love the project and was very excited when I first tried it for the speed and simplicity. Glad you got funded!

Please take a look at #1169. This stopped me, and the issue got a couple agreements. Also asked around on Discord to no avail. I see you have #156, which seems to indicate you're able to bundle, just not optimally for prod. But it's not clear to me how to generate a bundle.js for a main entrypoint.

Maybe just a doc issue? Running ./node_modules.bun gets a loadable module, but unclear where to go from there and it's not drop-in compatible with my esbuild process.

Sounds like student loans.
Of the languages you mentioned, Go and Nim both have runtimes, for a product focused on performance above all else, that is just asking to leave performance on the table.

As for Rust and Zig, IMHO, programming in Zig is more fun, so if I was OP, I'd also have gone for Zig.
Yeah I think this article is just irony of how poor decisions have no impact on financal institutions, and they still are eating your cake. The sad part is not enough are wise enough to understand, and it is likely even less would care.
Is there a way to toggle / collapse bullet list? I find that it’s one of the most useful features when organizing my thought as it allows me to explore one nested branch very deeply while still keeping the doc easy to deal with. You can hide the unnecessary details when you want to keep think a higher level.
You can use GitHub plugin in VSCode and use "Gists" instead of having push and pull notes from a repo.

I once belonged to a cult. I am no longer in it. It was an organization that preferred its version of reality in spite of evidence. It doesn't perform well among educated folks. Would you argue that a cult that loses members as they gain knowledge and alternative mental models should be protected from the savagery of educated minds due to its loss of adherents?

I'll answer my rhetorical because it's important you understand: no.

John's (and I'd probably be on firm footing to assume your) presumption here is that political affiliation automatically means discriminatory bias and inherent exercises in partisanship. I wouldn't call it a universally bad assumption, but it's also likely not a terribly consistent one across the universe of universities and colleges.

I'm glad you recognize that Economics has a more even partisan distribution than some other fields in social science. Many fields are.

Props to the University of Austin, which John lauds. May they prove to be a bastion of freedom of thought that stands as vanguard against the cravenness that represents itself as the modern marriage of business conservatives, theocrats, and the eat-the-rich contingent, as well as freedom of thought from all other attacks, whether perceived or real.

Note too: the academy has been attacked before, many times. No matter. Ultimately it converges back to the form of a tenured faculty supported be benefactors in the pursuit of knowledge, even and especially when that goes against their benefactors' preferred version of reality. Fields occasionally ossify and lose value, to be replaced one death at a time, but like writing, speech, and real analysis, the academic model is akin to toothpaste and its relationship to the toothpaste tube.

Good luck out there.

Because when you are Google-scale you have a big legal department whose job is to make sure that people obey the laws like this. I'm sure if it was a garage startup, no disclaimer would be there. But Google wants to make sure that they are protected by making it clear no employee can loan it to a friend, etc. And there are rules set up so when that label is no longer applied, then the appropriate people have signed off on it.

Well, no, because the tradeoff with static allocation is that you need to allocate all the memory you want upfront. If you're requesting memory via dynamic allocation, you can be less wasteful by only requesting what you need and returning what you don't need to the OS.

In the case of e.g. Firefox, do you really want it to always be doing bookkeeping for 100 tabs when you only need 1? Or having to restart Firefox every time if you've hit the upper limit of tabs? Or just let Firefox dynamically allocate memory as you open more tabs?

There are many compelling reasons for dynamic memory allocation, and "the OS essentially concealing crappy software from the user via a billion layers of abstraction and hacks" is a fundamental misunderstanding of its purpose.

Among college-educated professionals, primary and secondary school teachers are near the bottom for intelligence, as measured by SAT scores. https://www.businessinsider.com/heres-the-average-sat-score-...

The pay is shit, so intelligent people decide to pursue other passions instead of teaching.

Also, the profession seems to attract the kind of people who like to exercise arbitrary authority over other people. Not a majority of teachers, but a substantial minority.

Once I realized these things, a lot of negative experiences I had with teachers made more sense. For what it's worth, I also had some great teachers along the way.

> only cdr is a pointer to a pointer.

This isn't really true either. Either half of a cons could contain a pointer or a direct value. Lisp makes the decision about pointers based on whether the value you're trying to store is small enough to fit there directly or not. And crucially, Lisp can tell the difference between a pointer and a value at runtime which means it will always do the right thing with whatever it finds.

This is why it gets dicey talking about pointers in Lisp: Pointers exist all over the place in Lisp but you have no direct control over them. That's the garbage collector's job.

Nothing in Lisp requires pointers in either half of a cons cell. There is a convention followed by the Lisp reader and printer that lists are represented with their head in the car and their remainder in the cdr of a cons cell, but the cons cells themselves don't care. Cons cells themselves know nothing about lists. They're just dumb 2-tuples with a car half and a cdr half. You're free to stick anything you want in either side. Each side holds 64 bits, and if you want to stick a string containing the Gettysburg address in the car [or cdr], Lisp will let you. (More specifically if you create this string Lisp will allocate a pointer for it, and it will then stick that pointer in the car.)

Hindsight is 20/20, but definitely one of those places where flat out giving the credentials should not even be an option (or it should be made artificially tedious and/or explicitly clear that it’s a bad idea by e.g. naming the param _this_is_a_bad_idea_use_credentials_file_instead_secret_key or so). Of course there are always edge cases in the vein of running notebooks in containers (probably not an optimal example, but some edge case like that) where you might need the escape hatch of embedding the credentials straight to the code.

But yeah, if the wrong thing is easier or more straightforward than the right way, people tend to follow it when they have a deadline to meet. To end on a positive note, at least cli v2 makes bootstrapping the credentials to a workstation a tad easier!
> My point is that it would be extremely weird for every developer to simultaneously exit the VR market immediately AFTER Alyx gets multiple GotY nods and new hardware sells multiple millions of units.

Facebook trying to muscle in was likely the nail in the coffin, but if you compare Alyx to other platforms then a couple million sales for the biggest and most anticipated game on the platform ever is pretty damning.

That's very similar revenue to a switch port of a decade old game like captain toad treasure tracker.

I don't go back to notes because:

2. I never needed it.

I have no way to discern whether either (1) or (2) will happen as far into the future as you care to specify; so it's mostly a moot point. In any case, I will sometimes just do random walks through my notes, wikipedia style, and find a lot of value in it.

Tell HN: Getting Ready for Unemployment
Quit a low-paying C++ job (which was a horrible mistake) and now being unemployed for god knows how long.

So far, every single company I applied for, rejected my job application.
(Told me that they found a person better qualified than me.)

Some weeks have passed, I didn't find anything new.
Have large amounts of debt and barely any savings.

I am exhausted and stressed to the point where I am already thinking about "taking the easy way out".
Those rejections hit hard and the fact that I am not qualified enough (as they told me), just makes me question my existence even more.

It seems like I am going to be unemployed for a while.
I don't know when this war will end and whether they want to nuke the Northern Hemisphere away or not.

However, I know, I am not alone in this and god knows how many people have it worse than me.
The uncertainty for me (and probably for many others) is really hard to endure.

So maybe I shouldn't be exhausted or depressed as I am right now.
Maybe I should learn things and get distracted in these uncertain times.

Naval Ravikant suggests you to learn math.
Math and physics happens to be a hobby of mine.
Currently, (re-)studying linear algebra and analysis in R^n (multivariable calculus).
Those 2 areas in math interest me the most and I enjoy studying them.
Other than that, I like to watch physics lectures from Walter Lewin.
Trying to learn some Japanese with Genki.

All that is "useless", but at least they bring me joy, and they distract me enough from this harsh economic reality.

On the other hand, I can learn something "useful" for whatever the job market demands of me.
As being mostly a C and C++ dev won't cut it for me anyway.
However, I simply don't feel like it.

Yeah, so I tried (looking for jobs), I failed (getting a new job), and now it looks like I need to come in terms with my unemployment and the fact that the world tanks right now.
Trying to do something "useful" in the meantime...

I lost the sense of smell only the first time I had Covid. What’s curious to me is that that symptom has occurred in me several times before caused by influenza or similar, long before Covid, although not as prolonged (slowly recovering after Covid in about a month). I may be an outlier but I’ve never seen or heard anyone else mention this.
I sympathize with the desire to find an effective treatment and it took me years to abandon trying. I can’t tell you whether or not you should do the same. I would advise trying the holistic nervous system approach as well as anything else you think might help (that isn’t dangerous). There’s no reason not to try everything you possibly can.

Good question - I’m not saying that it’s bad if people voluntarily follow someone, what I’m saying is slightly different.

It is bad if a network, like Facebook, has a large user base where it is attractive/valueable/helpful to someone who can know gain a larger following simply by joining (and getting people to voluntarily follow them). The network itself has value and people are able to exploit that value.

Look at this example in comparison to the alternative - that political pundit launching their own network. They can say “hey, go join my social network which I just created!”. I firmly believe they should be entitled todo that and people should be able to voluntarily signup/follow them on that new network. But that is a much much harder task to build/operate/scale then simply joining yet another social network and tapping into the user base.

No, they haven't.

Note that all IQ studies are correlational, not causal. You need separated twins to measure causal effects, and there are not enough samples of separated twins.

What x% inherited means is that if you plug in parents IQ in a linear regression model predicting child's IQ, the variance error is reduced by X%. This x% correlates with both nature and nurture, i.e. it is not purely genetic.

The way that race based intelligence modeling works is by plugging in race as a covariate in the linear regression along with parental IQ and measuring the reduction in variance error.

Anyone with any background in statistics knows that there are huge errors in this kind of modeling because of confounding variables. For eg, if we plug in poverty as a covariate then we can expect poverty covariate to reduce the variance error even more. However it will also reduce the assigned x% variance reduction to other covariate, because poverty is correlated both with parental IQ and race.

Depending on your agenda, you can stuff in enormous poverty covariates to claim that IQ is primarily affected by poverty or the zip code you are born in OR going the other way, that your race determines your IQ.

The fundamental problem is that these are correlational models, not causal.

Edit: about twin studies. Heritability of IQ is accepted, though proper causal models haven't been built because there are never going to be enough separated twins. The wikipedia claim about 70% heritability of IQ in twin studies is not actually supported by the cited research. I have directly linked the wikipedia cited research article, which is actually sceptical of correlational studies[1].

I've never seen anything close to $150/hr -- I'd jump on that if I did. $63-$80/hr is actually about what I'm seeing, which is less than I'd made from my last FTE gig (I have 16 yoe, mind you). When you consider those rates don't include PTO and benefits, it's even worse.

Contracting is the thing you do when you're between permanent jobs and you do it because it pays better than slinging coffee and keeps your resume current.
Yes. Across all companies I’d guess 20% of what goes into jira effort actually aids development, with the remaining 80% primarily aiding people other than the developers to understand how the development is unfolding and will unfold.

Sounds like at some point someone set up a good system there.
I have seen several others remark that when you really need to squeeze performance Zig does better.

Currently writing a small Zig project, I can totally see that. Although frankly I will probably stick to Go. Zig is a lot more work in my view as it os very low level. However that is also what helps you squeeze out performance.

With Zig you really get a fine grained control of memory management and it is a lot easier to push anything you can to be computed at compile time rather than runtime.

> If you mean Boltzmann's formula it will be valid for systems in thermodynamical equilibrium. Is your system in thermodynamical equilibrium?

Gibbs

>You talk about macrostates. How do you define a macrostate for your initial configuration? Why this one and not another? Does it change over time?

I'll choose something arbitrary. Temperature as measured by a thermometer is the macrostate. Every possible configuration of particles (microstates) that causes mercury to rise to a certain degree represents a different macrostate. And yes it changes with time; even at equilibrium.

>Think of it from another angle. You have a box with some of these balls inside - all you know is that they all have the same energy. Do you agree that the macrostate won't change over time and the entropy will remain constant?

No don't agree. If balls are located on one side of the box and the thermometer is on the other side of the box. The thermometer reads nothing. When the balls increase in entropy they collide with the thermometer producing a reading.

>However, if you knew the positions they will be concentrated in some regions more than in others. That's what you called lower entropy in your example.

Yeah I already don't agree with you, so the rest of your argument is gone. If you define macrostate as total energy in a system then yeah it never changes. But that's not the definition of macrostate. It's just one arbitrary choice you have chosen.

> Equifax is now receiving records every pay period from 2.5 million companies. Information in the reports comes from employers and payroll processors.

But why do employers and payroll processors give any data to Equifax? I can understand that credit card issuers, and mortgage and auto lenders want to know the credit worthiness of people they'll give credit to, and those types of businesses are likely required to share their own customers' info if they want to participate. But what benefit does the typical employer get by talking with Equifax at all? And why wouldn't an employer demand that their payroll processor not share anything with Equifax? (Their executives and founders presumably want some privacy for themselves.)

I'm going out on a limb here and try to guess the reason: Is it because typical employees want their employer to share the info so they'll be seen as having income and therefore it's easier for them to get credit cards and mortgages and auto loans? And if this is the reason, how did this situation arise; did some employees petition their company to share info? Or did the company think it was doing a favor for its employees by giving them an employment history on Equifax?
