Do you have some examples? I always get excited by this serverless stuff, but often the use-cases are quite limited if you think about it, or maybe I’m thinking wrong, especially if you take vendor lock into consideration.
It's normal to get tired, and you should rest after eating. Ideally get a work from home situation or something to facilitate that. But for some people like me, it can actually continue for hours and be debilitating. I have acid reflux disease and the biggest thing to help me has been Nexium. It makes a huge difference although can have some other potential health effects from long term use. So I try to stop every once in awhile but so far it's been well worth it to go back.

But also coffee is the worst for reflux so I have been staying away from that.

Also you should see one or more doctors to make sure you don't have a small hernia or something other condition causing the fatigue if you can't recover properly with a nap and within say an hour and a half after lunch. I think that actually there could be different types of related medical issues if it's severe and doesn't go away.
I can confirm this.
Maybe is because water in dams is safer than a radioactive cloud. With a dam you at least can run towards higher ground.

Or because water in dams runs in predictable ways following gravity

Or maybe is because 5 years after a dam disaster all had returned to normal, but 5 years after a nuclear disaster... nope, still is happening.

In any case it seems that for some reason there is a wide consensus in the planet to tag dam accidents as safer than nuclear accidents

Getting angry at people for using centralized solutions is not a way to win people over to your cause, and even many people who would prefer decentralized solutions are going to pick the easy route sometimes.

Well, hopefully not depression.

AIUI, the idea is to constrain the money supply until the quantity of goods and services around has grown to match the amount of money created, without too much disruption.

The excess money printing happened because the government wouldn't expand goods and services demand after the 2008 crash. We always knew it was less useful and had a worse after-party hangover than doing the right thing, but the government wasn't doing the right thing, and it was the only thing a central banker could do to help people at the time. It was the right call at the time, in the circumstances. But now we've got the hangover.

"Being dangerous to people other than you" is not why refrigerant requires a license to purchase at all.

The license is required because refrigerant is categorized as an ozone-depleting substance, and the sales restriction is established by the Clean Air Act[0]. All of which is under control of Environmental Protection Agency.

I guess you can argue that any pollution-restricting laws are based on the premise of "being dangerous to people other than you," but that's not quite what people have in mind when talking about things being restricted due to being dangerous. We are talking about things like "driving a non-street-legal car" or "owning this one potentially dangerous carpetry tool", not "increasing gas taxes to disincentivise pollution."

The potential danger being inflicted in those cases is direct and specific. You can totally drive a non-street-legal car on your farm, even without a registration and a license plate, as long as you do it purely on your own property and not on the actual road.

And that's the approach that personally makes sense to me with AI-generated images. Any restrictions on it should be imo on the distribution and the commercial/sales side (e.g., you should not legally be able sell ai-generated posters of your neighbor in an embarrassing situation without their permission or sending them to that neighbor's workplace), not on the creation/usage side (e.g., you should be legally able to generate those images of your neigjbor, with any potential restrictions and legal problems only beginning to come your way at the distribution stage).

i never said/implied anything generic re: private ISPs serving KF

what i implied was specific and concrete: KF should not be served by anyone

you're the one marketing a generic and abstract “no duty to serve”, because you can't defend the specific and concrete actions taken by KF

edit: i'll also happily make the concrete argument that cake shops shouldn't be allowed to discriminate against gays/lesbians/etc, while at the same time saying no-one should be allowed to serve KF

these two points of view are perfectly consistent with one another -- confusion only arises if you try to think of abstract nonsense that must apply to both situations

Zig also takes this approach, and even exposes its C compiler (which if I recall correctly is basically Clang plus diverse sysroots and other customisation out of the box) as a separate `zig cc`.

I do a lot of work in Rust, and cross-compilation can be a pain when you have a lot of C dependencies. Fortunately https://github.com/messense/cargo-zigbuild exists. It sounds crazy, but using Zig's inbuilt C compiler to help build my Rust projects has been the smoothest option I've found.

I can't help but wonder if it would be worth it for Rust to follow D and Zig by shipping its own inbuilt C compiler, even if they still want to also support external C toolchains. It should be roughly the same effort as it was for Zig, given that they both use LLVM.

I read or saw a similar paper. I guess that they used (multiple) 3D cameras instead of a LiDAR to get the point cloud. But otherwise it was similar. They used a octree or similar data structure for speed up. What did you use?
If you add the same delay for the same input there's no statistical way to remove the noise because at that point it's no longer noise -- it's bias.

That said, it's fairly easy to tell if a CPU spends time sleeping or doing actual work, so it depends on who is in control of the CPU.
Abstract: Aside from some living tissues, few materials can autonomously learn to exhibit desired behaviors as a consequence of prolonged exposure to unanticipated ambient loading scenarios. Still fewer materials can continue to exhibit previously learned behaviors in the midst of changing conditions (e.g., rising levels of internal damage, varying fixturing scenarios, and fluctuating external loads) while also acquiring new behaviors best suited for the situation at hand. Here, we describe a class of architected materials, called mechanical neural networks (MNNs), that achieve such learning capabilities by tuning the stiffness of their constituent beams similar to how artificial neural networks (ANNs) tune their weights. An example lattice was fabricated to demonstrate its ability to learn multiple mechanical behaviors simultaneously, and a study was conducted to determine the effect of lattice size, packing configuration, algorithm type, behavior number, and linear-versus-nonlinear stiffness tunability on MNN learning as proposed. Thus, this work lays the foundation for artificial-intelligent (AI) materials that can learn behaviors and properties.
I see. Still an issue, but good to know

I do wonder where the recommendation to use http4s for beginners came from. http4s is a very capable library (and if you care much about composition it is excellent), but I wouldn't describe the documentation as beginner friendly.

A slightly better starting point for scala 3 + type-safe server building is tapir e.g. https://github.com/softwaremill/tapir/blob/master/examples3/... . With that, you get a declarative definition of your endpoints (+ error types, auth, etc.) that you can use for both servers and clients, which comes very handy when writing integration tests of course.

> absolutely ridiculous the fetishization of extremely complex FP and type-level hacking that goes on in the ecosystem

An alternative way to look at it is that there is a lot of essential domain complexity that gets encoded via the type system to let the compiler do the hard work. That "extremely complex FP" does not arrive out of nowhere - I really recommend at least skimming through the slides from rossabaker, the http4s designer, that motivate where the core type signature comes from https://rossabaker.github.io/boston-http4s/#2

I suppose one of the "features" that I like about the (typelevel) community is that the approach of "worse is better" is not taken, and a lot of effort is expended to make things correct, modular and orthogonal. This has the drawback of increased upfront complexity, that anecdotally pays off the moment your compiler does not error and the program runs as intended.

Hey, one of the paper authors here. If the compiler stopped here, yes this would be an error, but subsequent transformations (described in section 4.2) eliminate the branch ensuring that timing is equivalent regardless of the value of notRet.
Yeah.

But I suppose it can be used for some basic caching, as long as it's properly implemented. Like some LRU layer over SQLite.
I mean, if the route makes sense for you, it's there right now, and if you want to and are able to get into a bigger school without that, why not do that instead? Is there a benefit from forcing all students to funnel through a CC?

It seems to me everything you want kids to do they can do today, they just aren't forced to do it. I got a scholarship for a state U, so it was actually just as cheap for me to do that as opposed to a CC (maybe cheaper since I had dorms available to me at the state school).

> Students actually get an education rather than studying for a mostly useless test.

I don't think the test is useless. A lot of the things you do on the SAT you have to do in those Gen. Ed. classes, so it seems to me it overlaps considerably with the classes you are proposing they take at a CC. That being said, it's hard for me to imagine the Gen. Ed. classes at a CC aren't as useless as anything else considering my experience with that at the U. I went to.

> or take more time to "figure out" what they want to really major in without it costing hundreds of thousands of dollars

Plenty of schools are significantly cheaper than that. The university I went to was about the same cost as a CC as my brother went to (granted he went to a CC in California and I went to a U. in Florida). That said, I do think students that are in the boat of wanting to go to a super expensive school, that they'll need loans to attend, should definitely get their Gen. Ed. credits from a cheaper school if possible. It's a waste of money to pay private school prices for "Algebra 1" or "Art History 1".

> Also, as I've gotten older, and realized that tests like the SAT are just a product offered by a company, and not some Federal standard, I've started to view those kinds of tests as more of a racket than a real filter.

Being offered by a private company doesn't make it a racket. Schools are free to consider it in their admissions process or not since it's private, but most choose to because it's useful in the selection process (as evidenced by this story).
I wish it could be as simple as FB sharing ad revenue with the news site.

On YouTube 55% of ad revenue goes to the creator. In their new YouTube shorts revenue share model, the record companies get a cut based on how many videos use copyrighted music, along with Google and video creators.

It’d be nice if we got wealthy Canadian reporting agencies similar to wealthy YouTubers via a FB ad revenue sharing partnership program.
I know this is about how remote work and that we don't know how bad the collapse of commercial real estate will be -- how huge the tsunami will be, but the sea has pulled back miles from the shore.

But in this case, for SF, it's been exacerbated by the deep poverty and mental illness that sleeps on its streets. It could be America's most beautiful city but the frog of its decline has been slowly boiled for decades and now it's, frankly, gross. We were making so much money that we covered our eyes at the destitution around us as it got worse and worse. So when was the compassion, the empathy, ever going to kick in? Now, when it finally hits us in the pocketbook?
Thanks for your take.

What do you think of John Carmack's[1] suggestion that using a debugger is the best way to program? I am by no means comparing myself to Carmack :-)

I find debugger a good way to "see" what the program is doing. But that leads to a lot of time wasted.

Slightly off topic: What's with HN and the word "orthogonal"?

I'm not a native English speaker, but I read a lot in English and it seems like the word is extremely common on HN compared to anywhere else.

Isn't usually "unrelated" a more descriptive and even a more precise word in most HN discussions? (The parent comment here does seem to make a point using axes, so maybe it is more appropriate here?)

i found the bus averaging 80km/h pretty realistic. what felt wrong was the acceleration. it would go to max speed on a straight road even if there was a curve just a few hundred meters ahead. perhaps reducing the acceleration when autodrive is on will help.

Is there any tool that can safely spot and decide between a picture of a deep fake and of a real one?

Take up your second point with the W3 or whatever, to be honest if tlds weren't so important for phishing and whatnot it would probably be fine. I think some browsers have started doing that anyway.

Neither can I; there's no "わたしあと" in Jisho or d.goo. Just searching the net returns this page: https://www.kankou-gifu.jp/spot/detail_6769.html where it's written as 渡し跡, which would translate to something closer to "the ruins of a crossing" and seems to be used literally for a marker designating the former location of a river crossing ferry.

Maybe this isn't Japanese, or maybe it was made up by a non-Japanese speaker who searched for the words "me" and "after" in an E-to-J dictionary and then mashed them together. I'm leaning towards the latter.
