Yes, there are lots of poor people in rural areas. No, they do not live in tents in giant mountains of garbage with needles littered all around. What you see in Portland is not a product of being poor. It's a product of enabling the worst of society with three free meals a day and no enforcement of drug laws.

There are boatloads of programs to support the urban poor. I donate to many of them. If you need a hand up in Portland, it's there outstretched and straining to reach you. What we have in the streets are not poor people who need help. They are sick, or mentally disabled people. And some are just truly bad people.

Growing up, my own family's primary (at times only) source of protein was fishing and hunting. We somehow struggled through without being degenerates.
Back around 2003 I was hosting an internal web app for a fortune 50 company in python. It could handle 2 users at a time. I rewrote it in PHP. Scaled to hundreds with trivial work. Probably could have handled far more.
Firstly I'd imagine there's actually a minuscule number of people who actually do that successfully. But even so, the fact that some can pull it off doesn't mean that it's not a very strong indicator toward poor performance.
To elaborate, Go is always in release mode because release compiles are about as fast as other languages' debug modes.

Linux on Framework i7-1280P
I'm not doing much work with Fortran-using communities these days, so this is an opinion only, and probably out of date in various ways.

Yes, developers are using the new features. Most code I touched was regularly using up to 2003 features, with later stuff dependent on other factors (solid compiler support across different compilers being a big one). However, most Fortran programs are going to be fleshed out with components taken from the vast collections of well debugged and tested libraries available, many of which are still F77, and probably will stay that way. Fortran is more 'conservative' in the sense that there's not much compulsion to rewrite working code in the name of 'refactoring' or whatever. Adoption of new features is more 'I'm going to use a select set of things that will make my life appreciably easier' rather than 'everyone on board with all the latest shiny things'.
I totally agree with this, In particular with the typical "Why do you want to work for this company?" or "Why are you leaving your current job?"

The honest and most common answer "I want more money" makes you look greedy and you had to come up with a more acceptable excuse, Like "Your product is very interesting", "I'm "Looking for new challenges".

kind of like the initial steps of dating where you kind of know what the other is up to but you don't talk about it until you had evaluated each other and decided that "yeah I want to be your girlfriend" or "yeah I want to hire you" and then you finally can take your mask off and talk with honesty.

Even when Twitter was fighting for free speech in 2021 in India, Musk was on the opposite side saying that India is Twitter's third largest market, and it should follow government instructions. In 2022 Twitter challenged the Indian government with a lawsuit, and Musk called Twitter out.

Musk also fully endorsed EU's Digital Services Act, an internet regulation plan that Twitter opposed, calling it an attack on free expressions and human rights.

The list just goes on.

Still, an important thing for a physics undergrad student to realise is that they can't learn everything. Properly learning what Hooft listed would be the equivalent of a good education but I don't like the combination of being biased towards his interests while also demanding that this is the only correct way.

My science background didn't follow the exact same route and, after comparing notes with a friend at a different university and looking at modules of other universities, while they both follow the same general pattern, the order is different and the module selection available expresses different focuses of the department.

Personally, I think his list doesn't contain enough core mathematics and is too broad. Major areas that professional theoretical physicists specialise in are not mentioned at all (atomic physics, quantum information, condensed matter physics, density functional theory, mathematical physics, fluid dynamics).

I guess my complaint is that the list fails to highlight the core topics and fundamentals as well as failing to demonstrate how one can specialise. A vital skill needed to be a good theoretical physicist is the ability to think for yourself and learn without a syllabus.

What part of this do you not understand?

All Apple devices communicate with each other via heic, etc. older devices may not be able to encode the video version, but they can all decode it.

You are saying that Apple should revert all of their image and video encoding to h264 because you’ve decided av1, etc is better, and that justifies regressing 100s of millions if not billions of devices.

I do not understand why you find this concept so hard to grasp - millions or billions of devices exist, are in use, and produce and display heic and heif data. Those devices will continue to do so, because new hardware that supports new codecs can’t be magically installed in those devices. So if nothing else, devices that produce the standardized format you despise will continue to produce that format, hence it makes sense for chrome to support that format.

new devices can encode in av1 and similar, but only if you think it’s reasonable for Apple to effectively break older devices for no real reason. Given people already accuse Apple of designed obsolescence, despite providing greater long term support for all its devices than any other company, I can’t imagine “Apple breaks sending images to old ‘supported’ devices” going over well.

Again, this is a super basic and obvious concept that should not be remotely challenging to understand.

I get that you hate heif and hevc, and I get that new hardware supports codecs that might be better, but that is not remotely relevant because there are vast numbers of devices out there that don’t support your favorite codec of the day.

I tell people this all the time. I just get laughed out of a room. GOOGLE WILL SUNSET GCP. They don't work on it, they hate the product, the UI is terrible, they don't use it internally. It is 8 years? behind AWS. The GCP product is designed at scale to compete with AWS ($$) - there just isn't the customer base for 8 year old dying cloud infra. So they are throwing cash at this beast which has NO future. [I manage 300k monthly spend on GCP - and they cut off the ability to get support - we can't afford it - they cut off all communication]. The only people on it are the trapped [bigquery] or stupid.

> (1) kill passwords; (2) make things simple.

Two diametrically opposed things in my experience.

Not a comment on this product specifically, but I have not used any authentication mechanism that is simpler than passwords. A password flows from my fingertips with almost no context switch. For everything else, I have to stop what I'm doing, find my phone or some other device, unlock it, do something with that, put that away, while in the process waiting for various browser redirects and hoping none of them fail, and then return my attention to what I was doing (if I can remember).

Passwords are simple. Everything else is not, in comparison.

While with enough trust even pigs can fly (witness the heroic efforts to make JS fast), some languages are indeed inherently faster than others either because the semantics are such that they are easier to translate to an actual machine efficiently or there is less abstraction between the language and the machine.

Anecdotally: wow just by upgrading from python 3.8 to 3.11 I measured a speedup from ~90 sec to ~60 sec runtime (in simulation code that mostly manipulates python built-in numbers and container datatypes)
Several Thinkpads ranging from a P50 with 32MB, a T540P (under restoration, broken screen - which is why I got it cheap...), A T42p (single-core Pentium M, 2GB but the 1600x1200 screen and keyboard make it one of my favourite machines), some T23s are in use as terminals. I can use these older machines because I offload heavier jobs to the server-under-the-stairs (DL380g7, 128GB RAM) which is reached through a VPN (Wireguard running on a virtual router on that same machine).

All machines run Debian Sid except for the server which, through Proxmox, offers a variety of operating systems through containers and VMs. While Debian Sid is supposed to be "unstable" it is quite stable in practice, probably also because I shun the more fancy bits given that I run Xmonad on X11 instead of some glitzy/glitchy desktop environment on Wayland...
They said 10 years, hence why I picked 1997 as the year specifically. The average person in 1997 could not comprehend the iPhone a mere ten years later, just as we today cannot comprehend 2032 in terms of VR/AR/XR glasses.
Seems like a win-win for me. Either he actually makes Twitter better or he completely destroys it. The internet would be better off either way.
Most people only own one home and when they sell their current home they need to buy or rent another one. So for these owners, the supply/demand balance should be minimally impacted by their actions. This is certainly an over simplification of how things work, for example during COVID a flight to the burbs caused a drop in urban condos and rise in single family homes. But on balance, I think it is a good rule of thumb to consider when trying to evaluate the real estate market.

This means that prices are more likely going to be determined by the supply-demand balance between first time buyers, investor activity, new home builders, life events (death, divorce, etc...) and immigration vs emigration. I personally think that if employment holds steady, we will see more of a sideways market with some regional variances, but if employment starts going down then do does housing.

You are of course free to not use MyShake. The project makes no guarantees of efficacy or advance notice.

If your bar is "it must work perfectly" you probably won't be satisfied with any earthquake notification or prediction tools for many years to come.

That said, this app provided value to many people during this quake, and likely has access to a much larger number of sensors than any other providers that the HN ecosystem seems to know about, so it's unlikely there's a magical additional service out there that's astoundingly better than this one.

But you're certainly free to uninstall the app and dis the company for not being perfect, that's your choice to make.

I'm happy they are doing the work they are doing and looking forward to them continuing to get better, as innovative technology products frequently do.

My childhood best friend went into the Army to be a Ranger. He once told me that there is basically no higher priority event than a search and rescue mission. Down to a man, if you are captured, or at risk of capture, special forces and black hawks get called in with the ability to use any means necessary to get you out of there alive. He said it was an extreme source of pride for him personally to see how far they went to save their men on the ground and that this policy empowered you to fight harder and more confidently knowing that the full force of the US military was behind you (ie "no soldier left behind")

While I am no expert on these things, a few of the videos / articles / images I've seen of Russians fighters in Ukraine lead me to believe they don't feel this similar level of support from their armed forces, which could be contributing adversely to the outcome (from their perspective).
Facebook dumped a ton of effort into making PHP fast over the last couple of decades. No one has been able to make Python especially fast without breaking compatibility with important libraries (Python exposed virtually the entire interpreter as its extension surface, and since Python is so slow, extensions are a major part of the ecosystem as they're the main way to recoup performance, which in turn means that changing the extension interface to make things faster would break a bunch of the ecosystem, and the Python maintainers are pretty scarred after the 2->3 breaking changes). Pypy comes close, and it has been grinding away to get compatibility, but last I checked you still couldn't so much as talk to a Postgres database through a reputable package.

Charles, as king of Canada, is our head of state. 13-14 other countries have a similar arrangement although I suspect this number will drop over his and William’s reign. His role is filled on a day to day basis by a Governor General.

I suspect those in the Bloq are not all that interested in swearing anything regarding Canada, either.
Can't be true. All Ukrainians are woderful.
For a long time many of the .NET Runtime's most fundamental and performance-sensitive functions were written in C++. In the beginning the JIT wasn't fast enough, or C# didn't have good enough native interoperability, or it didn't have the tools to write fast code. As the years went on the JIT got faster, and more and more improvements were added to help write high performance C# code. Now there's a mass effort to port most of the runtime to C# to make it safer, more maintainable, and often faster. RyuJIT may not generate code as nice as LLVM but there's so much overhead calling into native code that there are gains to be had.

Imagine the alternate timeline where numpy is removing some of its C function calls because Python is fast enough on its own. I'm not sure we can make it there from here.

Yup. But it's not a conscious calculation; more like a primal urge (or so I'm told, by people like my dad, who had first-hand experience fighting in the Korean War).

That's already happen in the form of graalpy and pypy. The community has voted and they want compatibility more than they want performance.
I am actually familiar with some of the research actually, but thank you for your condescendence.

I didn't mean to imply that the SAT or grades are not predictive of future performance, only that lower socio-economic statuses will correlate to lower SAT grades in the first place, ie your (a) proposal in the second source.

From this same source:

> The SAT-grade relationship is not an artifact of common influences of SES on both test scores and grades

To substantiate my initial comment, test scores are highly predictive yes, but as you just linked, SES is highly predictive of test scores (and this is only for people who get to the damn test). This is the tautological part. High incomes make people test well which lead to jobs with high incomes. But since this correlation is not 100% but merely very high, we can pat ourselves on the back and say hey it's accurate!

Articles that defend the accuracy of the system tend to implicitly defend its legitimacy, which I think is a much more important question than "is SAT indicative of future performance" when considering whether the SAT is useful.
Social contagion of things like suicide is a real phenomenon. That was my first thought as well, except "pathogens" doesn't exactly fit.

My conditions are: an area of Illinois a few miles down the road from a wind farm, in a neighborhood with lots of big old trees (which block my roof from the sun for a large portion of the sunny part of the year).

Nothing extreme at all, yet this would also be a great solution for me since I won't cut down the trees that drew me to the place to being with. Whether or not this is the specific tech, I'd love to get some small scale wind generation since a couple of KW worth of solar panels would be a waste of money for me.
Even without that--if an aircraft that I have identified as an emergency services craft indicates a direction to me I'm going to figure there's some reason I should be heading in that direction. They clearly know something I don't.
