For maximum return on investment, wouldn't it better to focus on something other than raw speed? I personally don't see the usefulness of trying to make everything in Rust itself too much as it's handicapped by it's compiler and lack of specification.

> Unless you’re handing out life sentences for every little crime, the point of incarceration must be rehabilitation

I would take issue with the usage of the words "the point". There can in fact be multiple ends or goals of incarceration. Whether you think retributive justice or rehabilitation should be primary or secondary would be up for debate, but I primarily mean to say that you don't necessarily have to pick one or the other in the grand scheme of things (I'd say you'd also have a sliding scale of which is more important).
Not a law of nature, but there are laws of man against “Tipping-off” [1].

Add in the fact there are people trying very hard all the time to defraud the payment processor.

So now you can directly measure false negatives in fraud detection, but your false positive rate is harder to figure out. And whatever mechanism you use to recover from false positives can be abused by true fraudsters.

So it becomes a hard problem - but it is a problem which customers of the payment processor are paying them to solve. So it’s definitely reasonable to expect better.

I don’t believe “awesome lists” are intended to make your decisions for you; rather, they’re intended as an input for a business analyst to gather that data (i.e. to thoroughly follow all the links, read entries for competitors in a solution-space, and build a feature-matrix themselves) and then make those decisions. In that use-case, they’ve been invaluable to me personally.

Of course, you could get that same discoverability from language-package manager tool/website, if such systems ever allowed users (not developers!) to tag or otherwise multiply categorize packages, the way that e.g. Spotify allows users to create discoverable public playlists.
> I'm not convinced that AVX 256 and AVX 512 are useful for non-matrix operations.

I've observed that compared to regular x86-64 code without SIMD, using AVX 256 speeds up the Chacha20 cipher (for long messages so they can be processed in 512-bytes chuncks (8 blocks)) by a factor of 5. Network packets easily exceed 1KB, and files are usually much bigger.

Matrix operations aren't the only viable niche.
Except you still need a backup energy source like you said.

They failed to roll out enough renewables ? How much do you want them to install ?

Right now they have:
- 55GW of installed solar, outputing 0% because it's the night.
- 65GW of installed wind power, at 22% because not enough wind.

Except, they need 60GW right now.

They would need 390W of installed wind power to handle this totally regular evening.

That's more wind energy than what both USA, and China have currently installed.

This is arguing an appeal to authority. It doesn't matter what their expertise is, what matters is their claim and whether it is relevant and validly supported. While the OP title claims realism, what they meant were that the graphics are improved and exceptional, leaving the naysaying criticisms along the lines of, "that doesn't look realistic, it has weird artifacts everywhere and the animation is unnatural" more revealing about the observer than what they've observed.
I highly recommend that you do NOT use signalfd to get notification of signals through epoll. Instead, block (mask) the signal, set a signal handler, and use epoll_pwait() to atomically unblock it while you wait for events. Note that in this setup, your signal handler callback need not be async-signal-safe, since you know the precise state of the calling thread: it's invoking epoll_pwait(). This sidesteps most of the pain of using signals which might otherwise make you think you want signalfd.

Two reasons not to use signalfd:

1. signalfd has weird semantics that don't match what you'd normally expect from a file descriptor. When you read from a signalfd, it tells you signals queued on the thread that called read(), NOT the thread that created the signalfd. Worse, if you add signalfd to an epoll, the epoll will report readiness based on the thread that used epoll_ctl() to add the signalfd, which may be different from the thread that is reading from the epoll. So you might get a notification that the signalfd is ready, but then read the signalfd and find there are no signals, and then wait on the epoll again just to have it tell you again that this signalfd is ready.

2. It turns out that signalfd's implementation has some severe lock contention issues. I learned this through my own experimentation recently. In my experiment, I had 5000 threads each waiting on an epoll that included a signalfd. When delivering a thread-specific signal to each of the 5000 threads at once, the process spent 2+ MINUTES of CPU time spinning on spinlocks in the kernel before completing all the event deliveries. The time spent was O(n^2) to the number of threads. When I switched to an epoll_pwait()-based implementation, the same task took a few milliseconds.

Here's the PR where I switched KJ's event loop (used in Cap'n Proto and Cloudflare Workers) to use epoll_pwait(): https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto/pull/1511

>Forced labor is legal in the US in one case. Where’s the outrage?

That's like saying locking people in camps is legal in the US. Technical not a lie, but a bit misleading.

Forced labor as a proportionate punishment for a crime you were found guilty of by a fair trial is not a problem in my book. We can talk about safety conditions, perverse incentives, whether the trials were fair or the punishments were just, etc. But the fact that we make a murder work 8 hours a day isn't per se some human rights abuse, in my opinion.
He’s like the Stonehenge guy with weights and balance - cheating would entirely be pointless because it would defeat the whole point - showing that it could be done.
Probably the best way to get a prisoner ready for life after prison is to let them work, pay them a normal salary, and let them put it in a savings account.

That way they have enough money for a deposit to rent a place to live and can cover their expenses for some time until they find a job.

If you force them to work, and don't give them money, then they have no way to start a normal life after prison, will depend on money from the government in the best case, and get back to crime in the worst case.

We need to treat prisoners well. Not just because it's the morally right thing to do, but also because it's the best thing we can do if we want a society with low crime rates, where you can walk through the city at night without being scared that an ex-convict mugs you because they don't have any other options.
>The US shouldn't tolerate such conditions for workers in factories on its soil //

Nor for any company the USA law has reach over. Y'all stop copyright all around the World, but that protects executive wages so it's pretty clear where the morals lie here.

If there's anyone involved in a company, and that person can reasonable be expected to know human trafficking, or forced child labour are happening under the auspices of that company, any where in the World, if those people are in reach of Western countries extradition agreements then they should be prosecuted. The companies should be fined a minimum of a years [recent average] profit, and all execs fined a minimum of a years wage.
> Carboxylic acids are commonplace organic compounds. Humans produce them in our sebum, which is the oily layer that coats our skin; there, the acids help to keep our skin moisturized and protected, Vosshall says. Humans release carboxylic acids at much higher levels than most animals, De Obaldia adds, though the amount varies from person to person. The new study had too few participants to say what personal characteristics make someone more likely to produce high levels of carboxylic acids

Interesting that people have been using the bath oil, skin so soft, as a mosquito repellent for years. I wonder if people whose skin has already been moisturized would produce less sebum?
I thoroughly enjoyed being around students a lot smarter than me in college. I also enjoy working with people smarter and better educated than me.

I think you’re right and my intuition is way off.

Now I’m curious if the load is ever going to be greater than a dead lift, assuming no edge cases like being blocked behind a boulder. Ie. Just general ground friction and some incline plane angle less than 90deg.
> But, noticing I had the eyes of the whole class, I felt a grin take form on my face, and, looking at the disgruntled Mr. Reagan, I heard myself say with a shrug, “My waffles wouldn’t cook fast enough!” That was the first time that I can remember making a room of two dozen or so people (not including Mr. Reagan) bust up laughing. No one knew that was coming, including me.

As a social but introverted person, moments of the right funny words coming out at just the right moment, without consciously thinking about it, don't happen nearly as often as I'd like.

One memorable moment for me was maybe 15 years ago, at an event for prospective law students in Boston (kinda like a job fair, but all the tables are reps from law schools rather than companies).

So I'm introducing myself to these two law school reps, and it's going well, including my interest in technology policy. But when I say I want to represent the public interest, I sense sudden awkward. One of the reps says they have a research center that's an industry partnership, and my immediate thought is that I'm not sounding like a fit for that.

In that instant, I was making eye contact, and the words came out without conscious thought -- I felt a beaming grin, and heard a very clear and confident and determined tone of myself saying, "Know thy enemy." They crack up, and, as I joked to others afterwards, it felt like suddenly the application process was a mere formality. :)

This seems like it might be premature optimization. Have you seen any particular tendencies to bad typing habits already that aren't normal for a 6-year-old? Maybe wait a while to see how his typing develops on its own?

By the time we had typing lessons in school I was already touch typing anyway, self-taught from writing stories and getting into silly arguments on AOL chat where you tried to type over each other. I got regular access to a computer at around 12 and was touch typing by 13. Fingers tend to fall into more efficient positions naturally with more typing. I may not use 100% perfect form for every single key (for example, I tend to use my left ring finger instead of little finger for "q"), but it's certainly not a case of index-fingering everything or being super slow (I've gotten to 190ish WPM and have won typing speed/accuracy competitions in high school).

Maybe it's worth seeing which way he goes as he starts typing more and if you actually start noticing his speed/accuracy becoming a problem then looking into some typing games? On the other hand, maybe my experience was just pure luck and this is bad advice.

May we all be so lucky as to suffer at least one such "defeat" in our lives. He spotted a highly interesting feature of the quantum mechanical math. This was ignored or just gainsaid for a very long time. Then someone showed he was right - not only was this a definite prediction of quantum mechanics, it was correct (which he hadn't expected, it must be admitted.)

Nor is the battle over - purely local variables have been dismissed but they may not be the whole story. That quantum mechanics is not incomplete has not been shown.
I used to have an extremely regular schedule working at very small startups. I feel like most people in this field do have pretty standard schedules.

I have to say, it sounds like you do have structure and regularity--you just have regularly structured meetings outside of 9-6 hours. Not too bad as long as predictable.
Thanks for the suggestion, will test it!

>This does make sense - they have better technical skills (because of better education - you said this yourself) and better communication skills (because of cultural context) and also in general I think better attitude and aspiration.

This isn't a plausible explanation if you are at all familiar with the tech world outside of the US, or even higher education systems. It's easier for an American to get a good education, but the quantity of quality educated people is high in every developed country. Besides, for the explanation to make sense, the Americans wouldn't have to be slightly better, they would have to be multiple standard deviations better to merit the current salaries.

>If they could hire people for less money to do the same job then why weren't they already doing that?

Because the whole point is that locality is a factor in the hiring practices of tech companies, though this is changing significantly
You're fine with having payments refunded for (presumably) services rendered?

Either it's not a business, but a mere hobby, or there is something to it you're keeping from us.

Probably the former, but it makes me immediately suspicious, even with the recurring and well-documented "situation" with Stripe.
> The parents need some counseling and a stern scaring too but I wouldn't push too hard on a family desperate enough to send their kids to a factory.

I started mowing lawns at 12. Pretty heavy machinery; massive spinning blade, could lose an arm! Luckily I had that opportunity, I was able to make money and pay for clothes. Learn responsibility, self-respect, etc.

I do think child labor laws are there to protect children. However, we don’t know the circumstances and I think in most cases child labor laws do more harm than good. Here are some important details:

> In a separate statement on Tuesday, Alabama’s state DOL said it had levied around $35,000 in total in civil penalties on SL Alabama and JK USA, a temporary labor recruiting firm. JK USA employed five minors between the ages of 13 and 16 at the plant, the state DOL said.

To me, it could be as simple as a few guys brought their kids who wanted to make an extra buck. They could have just been picking up metal scraps. We don’t know. What I can say is in high school I knew multiple people whos family worked in metal works and the kids would help out and get paid. Some kids were as young as 10, but everyone was safe and it appeared to be in everyone’s interest

Just take a look at kids of all Harvard faculty, top administrators. These kids get admitted to Harvard. I know of some MIT faculty, who jumped to Harvard, only to have his kids get admitted there.

Sure, any testing, any measurement would have problems. Replace that with a better one. Instead, these people hide behind "well-rounded" admit pool. Since SCOTUS is going to put an end to affirmative action, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, etc will get rid of SAT/ACT requirement. Also admission committees will implement a secret system for admissions, where all comments about applicants are recorded and then get deleted after three months.
> The measurement apparatus as a separate thing from the quantum system was actually partially explained by decoherence

I disagree that the decoherence at all partially explains a different measurement apparatus separate from the system. After observation, we still have the the system is in a superposition of multiple states. How this system "collapses" to one state in the measurement apparatus is unexplained.

Decoherence explains why each state of the observer can't tell that the other states also exist.

> This is the most direct way of interpreting our experimental results.

Sure, except we have to invent an entirely new non-unitary transformation of "collapse" despite all observations and predictions of quantum mechanics showing that unitary evolution of the wavefunction continues even for large macro-scale objects.

I read an article in the New York Times maybe around ten years ago where some researchers called some labor departments to report child labor (it wasn't actually happening that they knew of; the point was to see how they would respond). They were basically uninterested and didn't follow up.

In short, I'm less surprised but it is appalling.

I think once an entire, visible class of people from the enemy (e.g. from Russia's view, the Silicon Valley millionaires) flock to a place, the place becomes visible on the global map and probability rises that it might just get a rocket.

> Admissions officers at selective colleges were also “overwhelmed” by the volume of applicants that test-optional policies had unleashed.

Given that acceptance rates are used as a ranking metric, and given what we have learnt about the lengths that even elite colleges like Columbia will go to to game those rankings, how sure can we be that the increased volume of applications wasn't the actual reason why they adopted test-optional policies (plus the nice side effect of likely raising the average scores of those admitted students that did submit scores, another common ranking metric)?

I think I am quite liberal and I could be considered a warmonger.

If you have never met a truly delusional person in your life, it's easy to have pacifist ideals. As soon as you meet a truly delusional person and those delusions directly conflict with what you need or a right you think you have, you quickly learn that "war" is sometimes the only option. If there are situations that require war, then you must make sure you are capable of exerting force.

I think the quote "If you want peace, prepare for war," is quite accurate. It is perceived weakness that opens you up to having war thrust upon you by someone who has estimated they have more power. In that sense, I think pacifism is a warmongering ideology because I view "despots that have too much power will exist" as an axiom upon which any political philosophy must be built. To a despot, pacifism is opportunity to subjugate. The foundation of despotism is built upon people who will not risk what they hold dear.

Nuclear annihilation is bad, but I would rather live in a world under threat of nuclear annihilation rather than a world where only Putin or Xi could threaten the force of nuclear weapons to subjugate those they wish.

I came from poverty and was able to go to a top CS school because of standardized testing . I didn’t score as well as my peers , but the admissions committee looked at district and county percentiles . I checked test prep books out of the library . I took the SAT test with low income fee waivers. I was saddened at the news regarding removing testing because my parents couldn’t afford extra curriculars and the tests were the only way I was able to level the playing field.

For the top of the R1 list, GP's post is roughly true, though not as densely involved (only a few faculty or grad students manage it). The licensing offices of those institutions are very painful to deal with.

However in my (not enormous) experience the licensing offices of the schools below that tier are even more difficult to work with. I imagine it's a combination of not doing a lot of deals and over-imagining the value of the IP.
