> If you apply any amount of rational thinking to the problem, you'll realize that it's incredibly likely that we'll solve climate change.

Funny because lots of very rational climate scientists [1] who spent quite a bit of time thinking rationally about climate science suspect that we are on track for several degrees of warming (2, 3, or 4 deg C) and express concern that we’re not doing enough to mitigate things getting worse.

I see that they bought Travis CI. Ever since then, we have not been able to get in touch with their support team, even to pay them for our annual contract. We ended up cancelling because their support was so bad and their features stopped coming, moving to GH actions instead.
Traveling the world is awesome. At the same time I'm always surprised at how many things you can do right at your doorstep. At least for myself I can say I need to do a vacation at home because if you're always on the go, you never get a chance to see the beautiful spots right next to you.
They’ve noticed the large segment of videos about mental illness and decided to go into the pharma business.
Yes, they will presumably release it as a 4070 or 4070 Ti.
Hopefully this will serve as a catalyst for helping to make people less dependent on farming animals as a way of life, both for the people who harvest/kill them, and the folks who choose to eat them.

The thought that a billion crabs could "disappear" is alarming and deeply saddening, but I'd like to hold onto the hope that they are out there still, simply living rather than being dredged up by the hundreds and unceremoniously killed.

I wish the people who rely on the industry the best, unless that means more killing of innocent animals.
You keep linking this study likes it proves your point but it does not. It has similar issues to the ones you listed above. It ignores things like repeat infections, feedback loops, and population structure. Using the same logic your study is serious flawed.

Also all the authors of your study seem to have an agenda of being pro lockdowns and push that.

You absolutely meant it as an attack. In fact the FIRST time I commented in a thread about 6 feet of social distancing, you jumped at me about how I only want to talk about 6 feet of social distancing. If I wanted to talk about the other stuff I probably would have commented somewhere else.
From the reviews it already seems there's not much point to AIB cards anymore, EVGA got out at the right time.
I sorta disagree. During Covid, the entire world came together. I think the world can work together as long as they're forced to.
I also would not go exactly where the author goes, or do what the author does, but I appreciate the stimulation of being taken out of the pre-packaged presentation and into reality.

You are a backpacker so you already embrace the spirit of the article. You already have a purpose to your trip that takes you outside of tourist traps. Tourism packages destinations so they all start to look the same.

You are not a contrarian. You have an alternate path to the same goal.

You can even do this locally (no need to travel). My husband and I started biking and often this takes us to unseen parts of our own community.
In the last decade, we have bump link speed from 100m 1G to some board even have 2.5G rj45 port now. I am not sure if move data between kernel and userland at 2.5G/s is even a good idea.

And even worse, because kernel still have to distribute data to other userland program, you actually need another round trip so the impact need to multiply by two.
What you will find is that everyone will have a reason why they aren't as bad as the other group, and forge on as though it's someone else's problem. There is always someone else who is more to blame, more at fault.
Reported as of current monthly figures. Estimates are even higher.

Keep in mind that the "two consecutive quarters" is just snapshots of the monthly data at 3 month marks. They get revised over time.

It's completely possible that data from Q2 will be revised upwards and there won't be two consecutive quarters of negative GPD in the future. The Q2 data has already been revised upwards once.
The optimizing end is still valid right?

Unless you're doing serverless (which, of course, more and more of us are).
Eh they pay for Chegg so there is probably some market there. GPT-2 may not have been quite good enough though.
Climate protesters throw soup on Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'
Sorry, I meant policing Turkey's internal behavior.

If they attacked another NATO country then obviously it would mean Article 5 gets invoked. The "political purpose" of NATO, as written, has to do with cooperating on defense related matters. I don't know where one would get the idea that it gives NATO the authority to tell other members how to run their internal domestic affairs.
You will be surprised that in many parts of the world, people do live in big houses too and sometimes much bigger than average mcmansion here in the US. It is usually cities where apartments are more common.
I think enforcing that would be the tricky part
Sure but it doesn’t make sense to fight a battle that you’re going to lose. No one is dumb enough to jeopardize a political career for a losing battle.
We both know that the median salary is irrelevant when considering Brazilian iPhone buyers. No one is spending two and a half years of scratch on just one phone.

A 17 Million (! Dr. Evil flourish!) USD fine, standing next to the doubled price Brazil's government inflicts on its citizens, paints a pretty stark picture here.

There's a problem. It isn't a phone charger problem or an Apple problem, but it's a real one. No pun intended.
Indeed. I bought an bag from $fancybrand at REI that doubles as backpack and luggage. It is compressible and is about as large as a carryon bag can be.

When I travel via air, I wear the least compressible shoes possible (boots) on the plane and squeeze loafers or tennis shoes in the bag. My blue jeans are upscale enough to look casual but also look well at dinner. And yes, at least one nice shirt is needed for dining out or looking decent at a bar.
No, it really isn't that different. I think you can see differences in standard of living, not way of life or day to day life.

Wake up, go to work, go for a drink with colleagues or friends and go back home (and everything in between) is the day to day routine of the vast majority of people, no matter which country they are in and which standard of living they have.

It's not because some do it in a megalopolis with skyscrapers and some in a wooden shack in the middle of the mountains that the way of life is different.
But that's the point isn't it. Stuff has become more commoditised so people don't need to care unless it keeps breaking. Then they call in the handful of contractors with the 10+ years experience to fix it
The quality of discussion there is orders of magnitude lower. Also, any topics having anything to do with current politics/culture wars are tribally segregated and heavily censored. For some niches that managed to avoid CW entirely there's some good content there though.
What's the point? Cheating at education is like having a powered exercise bike.
Could this have to do with the demand they see for the 4090? It was launched just 2 days ago.
I think it's just as likely that somebody hacked the NVIDIA blog and made this post, as it is that the blog post is authentic.
Elon Musk is under federal investigation for merger conduct, Twitter tells judge
NVIDIA wanted to sell the "12gb 4080" cough 4070 for "X080" prices. People yelled bullshit. End of story.
> annual production of copper in Brazil is ~~250,000 tons

AKA, very small.

No country has an interest on making cooper more expensive.

An interesting way to say thank you to all the people who helped you: send in the copycats!
I would have said (amateur) porn, but fetish-specific subreddits are now rampant with girls promoting their OnlyFans with the same post repeating over and over again. Nothing like the wild days of /r/gonewild.
I vehemently disagree with Musk's position on suing for peace with Russia now, I understand his reasoning I just think he's wrong. Still, the fact is Starlink has been a massive force multiplier for Ukraine. Yes most of the terminals were paid for by aid agencies, but over 3,000 were donated by Starlink and all the connectivity for the stations bought by aid agencies was provided for free. Plus these stations are the upgraded premium models with double the bandwidth and lots of nifty features increasing reliability. How many private individuals or companies have done more for Ukraine, really?

However yes he's had a hissy fit and the costs are mounting, and they're not minor costs. Two separate things, but they're happening at the same time which makes him look somewhat petty and mean. I think the former is right, he is being a bit petty, but I'm not sure about mean. He's done a huge amount for Ukraine, who can truly fairly demand that he _must_ do more? How much are most of us doing? As so often with Musk he's no saint, and certainly a sinner but he's also doing an incalculable amount of good.
If you want to make this a nitpicking discussion about phrasing a provocative statement, sure. If we’re talking about what matters, I stand by the notion that any point in time should be recorded in UTC, full stop.
Storing a different time zone only makes sense if something happens at the same time in multiple time zones, but use cases are few. In the vast majority of scenarios,calculating the offset of the client and showing the adjusted date is the correct solution.
A perfect time to re-release it as the 4070, but retain the 900 dollar price tag.
Problem is: If it says encryption, people think it's safe. Only if you're into tech, you know to look for the details. Personally, I'm always looking for 'end-to-end' and 'open source', like Tutanota does it, for instance, of Proton.
This also puts all of our eggs in one basket. That would seem to be a troublesome thing to do.
It's hard to imagine an indicator that wouldn't be closely correlated with family wealth and social status. Wealth and social status are the primary means to access the things that make a person more likely to be successful! Almost any indicator you pick will end up being a proxy for those, to some degree.
They take it seriously enough to spend millions of other peoples money to cover thier ass with handwavy hire-a-bunch-of-security engineers and then lock them away with thier toys and completely ignore them until they need used as a scapegoat.
What are your views on worker protections?

Companies failing is fine in my view, as long as people are protected. Workers need to be paid and they need sufficient notice of redundancy for protection.

Contracts need to be adhered to with enforceable penalties if broken.
rqlite is a nice project, but you kind of covered it:

> You have to write to the SQLite via the rqlite HTTP API

Also requiring non determinism (i.e. no RANDOM()) is something I don't think I really want to worry about. There are a few of tradeoffs for rqlite (and dqlite too, to be fair) that just don't seem to be quite worth it (especially compared to just running Postgres).

I think people are realizing that having one far away writer is actually fine -- 90%+ of the traffic you're trying to serve fast is read queries.
I remember the days of waiting for the early adopters, reading the reviews and letting bug fixes and patches get released before making an informed decision to upgrade, if upgrading was considered worth it.

For things like security patches, pushing updates has been a net positive IMO.

For absolutely everything else, it's a disaster. I always used to think that the "free software purists" were a bit too radical for my tastes ... but now, in the era of SaaS, I find myself agreeing with them. I want to own and be in control of my hardware and software. Let me decide if upgrading is worth it.
Deep Dive on TPUv4
I missed Old Edge EPub reader. It was the best.
Many high-profile charity organizations have also resorted to such tactics for donations. There are so many banner ads on mainstream websites with close-ups of miserably crying children and poor parents to guilt-trip unassuming viewers.
The promise of AI is that it will be able to find associations and figure out things that humans normally wouldn't - so the AI is now finding associations and figuring out things that humans previously didn't notice, and we're dismissing it.
I guess that's another change which is much more hard to implement properly. I'd like to see it done though.
Terraform is a nice tool but its a VERY slow development cycle. just due to the nature of the cloud
Musk suggests he is pulling Starlink from Ukraine after ambassador was rude
Nope, just making the point that vim has lots of things to catch up with a proper C IDE in a default install.

ctags was just the first example of many things I can refer to.

For example any basic C IDE on a default install is expected to have debugging integration, project management, among other stuff.
Currently cops who turn in other cops get beaten, harassed, and shot
My reading is that they're implying it'll be launched but under a different name.
Look at any HN discussion which touches on education. Observe the dozens who come out of the woodwork to comment on how useless e.g. literature classes are, and how students would be so much better served by Lerning 2 Code. These people would use AI to write English papers in an instant, because they consider the subject worthless anyway.
Good for you, but your values are not universal and not everyone has the same opportunity to choose their workplace as easily as you apparently do.
I agree. If Musk did not want to assume this cost and perform this crucial and powerful function, he could have said no and backed out. As Russia improves their electronic counter measures, RCM, then Starlink has to mount ECCM - then ECCCM and on the ECCCCM as it develops, it is going to get harder and more complicated to maintain secure communications via Starlink. The Pentagon also learns about these ECCnM, and they will need these skills that are doubtless being jointly developed by Startlink and the Pentagon.
Thus the USA and joint allies should jointly get involved in the $$ and tech aspects. Perhaps the pentagon will want a closed USA shop on this stuff?
So I am having trouble finding this source now, but I have perviously read from the main team researching Calcium Carbonate, SCoPEx (https://scopexac.com/), that the intention is to spray the calcium carbonate high enough in the atmosphere so that it does not float down to the ground but rather dissipates into space. There is a specific height in the atmosphere where it needs to be released, and yes, if it fell to earth, this wouldn't be a viable solution. I can't find where I read this, but this is one component of the current hypothesis.
> Even with appropriate safety nets I think a case could still be made for discouraging companies from firing people lightly and requiring the effects to be cushioned due to the amount of upheaval finding a new job can cause both financially and socially.

In the US, there is no stigma to losing your job via a reduction in force. As far as financially, I don’t have any moral objection to unemployment insurance being higher if we as a society choose for it to be higher.

> I view it as a failure of our current system that employee obligations aren't first in line when a company has to be liquidated

The VC funded company I worked for literal had no money when it was bought out for pennies. I was one of the people doing pitch decks to potential acquirers and in the room for the technical interviews with them.

Don’t get me wrong, this was 2012 and everyone from developers to tech support found a job quickly and we had plenty of warning.

The eventual acquirer laid almost everyone off immediately with a 1 month severance pay.
The nice thing about using the L1 Lagrange point is that it is unstable, so eventually the sunshades will disperse. Even with station keeping, the satellites will eventually break.
Honestly, when I look at these types of videos I always wonder: what exactly do these people do?
It seems as if their day-to-day life was to eat at fancy places, have a couple calls and enjoy a general upper class lifestyle without doing much that looks like "work".
Of course, most can't really show what they're actually working on but, then, what's the point of these videos in the first place?
But junior devs aren't expert mechanics, they're more like delivery drivers. You're the mechanic and in a few years some of those drivers will graduate there, others won't.

AWS support has always been excellent IMO and highly technical if required.
I'm old enough to remember the first wave of outrage when Apple dropped the serial port (and floppy disk!) and started using this weird USB thing that only their devices supported.

What goes around comes around. Don't worry, in a few years you literally won't remember that you thought of USB-C as an "Apple thing". Or at least you won't mention it.
Amazon’s Ion[0] uses ISO 8601 including fractional seconds and offsets as its date time format.

So after looking at the slidedeck on the authors blog, I'm rather confused. How does FrankenPHP keep the code in memory if each request is in a separate memory space?
I suspect the technical term for that is a "catastrophic lack of strategic thinking". That approach is the fast path to poverty. It is more likely to lock in generations of families starving to death than any approach except total war.

The plan there is literally to identify the person in the best position to help and then start hindering/antagonising them. You've even managed to envision a scenario worse than just stealing stuff, which is already pretty bad as plans go. Can you come up with a worse path to prosperity if you try?
Correct: at least for the recreated version[1], the blocksize is 128 but the pixels are uncompressed 24-bit RGB values. So you end up with 5.33 (repeating) pixels per block, which makes running spans of of the same color transform into runs of a different color with a little bit of "noise" (always the same) at the end.

Do that enough and wrap it around at the width, and you end up with a diagonal/houndstooth-like pattern.

It is pretty hard for me to find credible analysis. Anyone on HN has a source they recommend around the economic situation in Russia vs Europe?
You set a pin/password to unlock the webauth storage. That's the first "first password". For example if you use ios it kay require your phone faceID or pin to "login" into services just like they do on appstore installs
Ask HN: Is it still possible to live in a terminal?
In college I did a month long experiment where I only used my computer's terminal emulator to do all my work. I wrote my code/notes in Vim, browsed the web with elinks, and wrote my emails using mutt. It was a great learning experience.

Recently I looked into doing this again and ran into a bunch of issues:

- My company uses Slack's enterprise auth, and all the CLI slack clients I could find haven't been updated in years and no longer work.

- The web is using more javascript than in the past.

- Mutt doesn't handle multiple email accounts natively for work/personal. The solutions are hacks at best. Email servers are starting to use more complete auth mechanisms that don't work well with mutt.

It seems like the terminal world is slowly getting abandoned in favor of proprietary GUI apps. Anyone still living inside the terminal? Links to tools for Slack are appreciated.
Did it though?
I remember the whole "muh body! No masks" entitled attitude. I also remember people literally dismissing the vaccine - a tech wonder - because Bill Gates.

The world did not come together. It was a shirt show. If the world came together we would have burried Covid sooner and with less people dying.

> if you anticipate your electric bill will exceed last year’s electric bill, you can request a waiver

I suspect this was intended to be utilized by poor people who struggle to afford to power their homes. The US Military is certainly well funded enough to pay its electric bills.
Did they just think it was too good to be a 70 level card? It’s not like they had a 4070 and a 4070Ti and a Super 4070 already and had to figure out another way to market it.

I just don’t see the logic in the naming in any way shape or form.
Good question - at first blush it doesn't appear that it is. I wonder if that's because it was declared a deliberate act by the pilot and was not due to plane/pilot error/safety. I did a surface level dive on the source's methodology and didn't see it called out explicitly.

Point taken, though - you could say that the PiC of that flight might not have been had they better process/procedures.
IQ tests during hiring are illegal if that IQ test has a disparate impact against a protected class. (It turns out they pretty much all do, even those specifically designed not to, like Raven's Progressive Matrices: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven%27s_Progressive_Matrices)

A "totally not an IQ test" IQ test is safer, particularly if it is bespoke, because new/obscure tests are less likely to have been studied, and consequently, any forbidden trends in test outcomes are less likely to be discovered.
In Jordan, an ancient bread tradition rises again
Depending on the org it's can be worse than "no one cares". I was at a large, growing cancerously "tech" company and this type of problem solving was seen as a threat to the large number of managers that had neither management experience nor significant IC/technical experience, whose sole purpose in life was to grow head count so they could increment their level.

For these people needless complexity was a benefit. I saw complex neural networks poorly built for the most laughably simple problem, but arguing that it could be solved more simply got you a talking to, and anyone who actually did solve the problem was quickly let go.

Part of the consequences of being in a tech bubble that has lasted so long is that reality stops being important, so technical skills don't matter and at the extreme threaten more important illusions.

In a company where you're expected to make more money than you spend, simplicity and technical competency can be hugely valuable. In a world were 'profit' is a foreign concept, trying to save time and resources is seen as a threat to the complexity theater other people are creating to boost the importance of their work/team.

Don't get me wrong, there was plenty of bs in the pre-bubble world, but there was a time when technical teams had greybeards you would consult and learn from. People like this are one of the reasons I started a career in tech to begin with.
Yeah, even if they had a good reason not to call one the 4070, the whole thing could still have been avoided by just calling them the 4085 and 4080. And the marketing people could probably have come up with something even cooler sounding, if somebody would have just stopped them from going with 4080 12GB and 4080 16GB.
> if you have an opinion that is against mainstream regarding Covid, you risk getting banned.
