just running infrastructure at a certain scale is a really hard problem. You will deal with hosts going bad for arbitrary reasons (some hardware, some software), weird infrastructure problems (networking broken, spurious connectivity in routers, etc), deployments not being rolled out to all hosts in the same version, etc.

You can work around a few of those by having really good tooling, and by trying to offload to cloud providers which do a bunch of the work for you, but it still won't be easy. At the scale at which whatsapp and Twitter operate 50 engineers is nothing - in many products this will be less than the size of teams who just do some basic server rollout and operations.
My worst latency issues (and I've had several debilitating ones over the decades) were nothing more than overzealous anti-virus programs. Some update must have done something to break the program, which had otherwise been running quietly in the background for 3 or 4 years. I think others were temporary ISP issues, and maybe once I even had to replace a wire? But they've always been a nightmare to debug.
DG Auto out of New Jersey specifically. This is a mafia operation, not hard to connect the dots.
Nix and NixOS has an incredible number of features and use-cases that have almost no documentation around. The only way to discover those, it seems to me, is to look up people's nixos configurations on GitHub etc.

Beginner level blogposts (that are plenty) talk about the same few features like ad-hoc development shell.

> Mostly only illegal content should be removed.

Did you read the article? Removing illegal content (like how to make a bomb) is a censorship, because sender and receiver are happy with it. We need to bring arguments like "the good of a society" to justify removing illegal content.

But harassment, threats and suchlike no one wants to get. Sender may be happy to send it, while receiver is not happy to receive. We need not to resort to a good for a society explaining, why these should be banned.
Part of the problem IMO is that there are too many designs in circulation.

Even once we filter to "Real ID compliant documents", we have 50 states + a grab bag of territories, each issuing at least a driver's license and a non-driver's identity card, possibly other variants (different formats for under-21, learner's permits, etc.), along with military and tribal issue documents. Now assume each of these will be redesigned every few years, whether it's changing the governor's signature or a full restructuring of the security features. I could see the number of valid documents-- for citizens and permanent residents alone-- easily approaching 1000 types.

There's going to be confusion and people are going to be either unfairly hassled for having a unfamiliar but valid document, let through with bogus documents, or both. If you're a TSA agent in Maine, will you correctly recognize a two-generations-old-but-still-valid identity card issued by New Mexico on the spot?

What we need is the full-on Mark of the Beast nightmare of having a federal Department of Identity. One standard document, with only a few designs in circulation. States can attach endorsements to the card number for things like driver licensing. Hell, if it's a smart card, they could probably store a signed certificate on the card itself to appease the crypto nerds.
Why not take these non-specific, hypothetical people at face value? If they say they want merit based admissions and that's what we get then they should be happy.

The vin is stamped all over cars oftentimes in places where it is very hard to get to. Classic car folks will check them all to make sure they aren’t paying top dollar for a car that has been pieced together from parts of different cars.

I saw one video on the YouTubes where they were talking about how highly illegal it is to mess with the vin plate so its not like a random Kansas MVD employee just pulled some law out of their ass because they were having a bad day. Specifically, iirc, they were saying in the video it was illegal to even sell replacement rivets for vin plates.

One would think they would try to figure out who the rightful owner of a car with an altered vin before taking it to the crusher though.

From my experience if you have a decent WiFi setup, it will work perfectly fine for streaming, wireless speakers, social media apps etc. UNTIL you want to do anything low latency like online gaming.

With gaming over WiFi it is challenging to have the best of both worlds being high bandwidth and low latency.

If I could I would have most things ethernet being PC, gaming consoles and wireless access points. Anything that roams can be on the WiFi.
This reminds me of the samsung galaxy camera which looked like a point and click with a phone built in. I think the new Sony xperia line, especially the pro line is interesting. It's using a modified 1-inch type Exmor RS BSI CMOS sensor which is the same type in the the Sony RX 100 VII.

It would be nice if Jerome Powell and the other Fed Governors owned up to it. They were printing dollars via QE and adding reserves into the banking system as recently as March of this year. Last year, they were adding $120 billion/month of QE into the banking system. They have just ramped up to removing $90 billion/month. They're not removing monetary accomodation at the same rate it was injected.

No resignations for making such a massive sequence of errors.
Until John Carmack actually writes a game in Haskell, I'm gonna choose to interpret his comments as "Hey, I like these ideas" over "Hey, this would be perfect to write a game in". He's had a lot of nice things to say about a lot of different languages, but it is far more telling to consider what he has actually written significant amounts of code in.

Pure functions excel at reducing bugs, I'll give you that. They also excel at transforming state. But managing it? Encapsulating it? No thank you. I'll take plain old classes over every state management idea that has ever been conceived for Haskell. Does anybody seriously believe they will manage the state for hundreds of thousands of different sprites, environments, bots, and players using the State Monad? I'd rather castrate myself. It's one thing to take immutable/functional ideas and code and use it in a stateful system, and another thing entirely to constrain 100% of your code so that it all fits in that neat theoretical box you've built for yourself.
I pretty much run every project now through a docker compose file and use vscode remote containers with a devcontainer.json file.

This has been immense not only for my own development (nothing on my local machine, everything can be destroyed and rebuilt in a few minutes) but also for onboarding people onto projects. No mucking about with IDE settings, they are free to use whatever of course but having the basics all there makes for a great system all around.
Nope. Sex is exempt from discrimination protections by law to allow same-sex colleges. (Public colleges cannot consider sex, however).

One would be pretty hard-pressed to argue that women hold "minority of power. For several decades now, women have had higher college enrollment rates. And among the two youngest generations, the gender pay gap has actually reversed with women out-earning men [1]. One could very well make the argument that discrimination favoring women isn't affirmative action, but rather "punching down" so to speak.

I haven't really stopped buying from Amazon, but I'm definitely starting to put in more effort. Just bought a comforter last week from a localish store that I found going through reddit reviews rather than buying off Amazon. Just bought some new shoes but got them from the local store and got a lot more out of being able to get properly fitted and able to talk to the guy about my issues. Still buy bits of cheap junk from Amazon, definitely if I'm thinking more along the lines of "Buy It For Life" (or just some long term durability) I'll try to get it from someone else.

Also just ditched Android and Fitbit and got a new iPhone and Apple watch, pretty much decided to suck it up and join everyone else (and not a moment too soon because my Android case is starting to bulge out due to the battery again). And first impression is that they're really nice products and its worthwhile. Really wish Apple was a little more open of an ecosystem and that their products were more repairable--but for all the whinging and moaning about Apple that hits the headlines here on HN they seem to be miles better than anything else if you're just an average person.

It also depends significantly on where you're talking about. At my college, my class was about 85% male and 15% female. Looks like last year they managed to get it to 68% male and 32% female.

Yah, if you really want it hammered home, find something that is considered a long fat pipe and try to max it out.

About a decade ago, one of our customers had a 25Gbit (IIRC) line that went cross country and had something like 150ms of latency. Then after hours they would basically cross replicate their entire data center through a couple machines they purchased from us (running some of our software). While their packet loss was fairly trivial, it was enough to cause some serious pain. Explaining why, if they insisted on TCP they were going to need an enormous amount of ram (for the time) in order to keep the thing running at line rate took about 6 months... Eventually someone ponied up the $$$$ for the ram, and the problem went away, and it sat there happily doing its thing, with only the occasional problems caused by other departments trying their own experiments and killing its throughput.

No other assembly is as nice to program as 68000 assembly!.

It sounds like your main frustration is saving and restoring registers on entry and exit to subroutines? I agree that that's a particular pain point in RISC-V. Have you considered using millicode for that? Even without assembly macros it's not that bad.

The article you cited, aside from being soft-paywalled, is clueless. The author says, "Actually in theory an x86 instruction could be of infinite length, but dealing with infinitely long instructions is impractical. Thus both Intel and AMD set a practical limit and refuse to process instructions which are encoded as longer than 15 bytes." This indicates they don't understand the x86 instruction encoding at all, and the article is full of careless errors: RISC-V MV and LI are canonically ADDI and not ANDI, not all RISC architectures have a zero register, 3-operand instructions don't reduce memory traffic, most RISC instruction sets don't have an instruction with a 16-bit address field (certainly RISC-V doesn't), there is no "rsp" register in the 16-bit 8086, a pipeline flush doesn't flush the cache (!), and on and on.

Try to forget everything you read in that article! Instead, read something by somebody who cares whether what they're writing is true or false.
Yeah. Not just that, but for the past 2-3 years, I felt like I've been watching reddit disintegrate in real time, at an accelerating rate.

Their IPO has been "just around the corner" for the past 3 years or so. And with more time passing, the more improbable it seems to ever happen. At first, it seemed like the IPO timeline couldve been affected by COVID. But at this point, I don't think reddit will ever IPO. And if it does, it will just be a last ditch attempt to kickstart a countdown do its death.
So he's getting credit for predicting high inflation in 2020?
E.g. paying for it with taxes or raising the miney with bonds.
I’m not. The code to blow the fuses is already on the box. That software was delivered to the box under a license agreement which literally says the box will only work with that software.

If you say they have no legal grounds to do this: what law did they break?

It sure isn’t vandalism. The terms were consented to in a licensing agreement, and it is an anti-tamper feature by design. Both of these are solid defenses against a vandalism accusation. Vandalism isn’t “someone broke something”. Vandalism is an act that is specific and unconsented and malicious.

There are many pieces of hardware which will break if used in a way different than they were designed. I understand that people don’t like DRM or anti-tamper measures, but that doesn’t mean these things are illegal. They’re very widespread, even outside of software.
It's many years since I had children but we were curious about home birth, and what I understood from looking into it was that there is, apparently, no significant difference in overall safety between home births and hospital births.

However, there was a significant difference in the reasons things went wrong. Because in a hospital you're more likely to receive unnecessary treatment due to the "cascade of intervention"; and interventions such as C-sections have inherent risk. While at home, you're more likely to have an actual emergency.
This is an incredibly insightful comment.

(By the way, I read your post about insomnia troubles. I used to struggle quite a bit. Tried everything. So many medications. What ultimately helped me was cognitive behavioral therapy. Almost all insomnia is a consequence of overthinking about sleep. This Harvard professor wrote a whole book about it. Highly recommend. What else do you got to lose? The book is called "Say Goodnight to Insomnia" by Gregg Jacobs.)
> This is widely understood to be a form of affirmative action.

That's a misunderstanding then because that's not affirmative action. Affirmative action is targeting specific groups of people to achieve some desired makeup. That's literally what affirmative action means.

It doesn't ensure you get all the best students. That's true. But that doesn't make it affirmative action.
C++'s type system is both more consistent and more expressive.

GC'd languages fall into roughly 2 categories.

1. those that are pure but lack strong primitives (Python, Ruby, et al),
2. those that bifurcate their type system and treat primitives as a special case (Java, C#, et al).

2 is done as a compromise for performance since they'll start making guarantees such as preferring stack allocation. This is the primary difference between 1 & 2, what the language promises with these types (if they have them).

C# learned from Java but added "value types". So now understanding what a piece of code actually does requires you to know not just the type, but whether it's a value or reference. Create a tuple with a string and 2 ints and default construct it. You get (null, 0, 0). Now do it with MyTypeA, MyTypeB, and MyTypeC. You have no idea what that tuple will default construct to unless you know more about MyTypeA, MyTypeB, and MyTypeC.

Default equality is it's own bag of worms.

Whereas in C++ it's a lot simpler. It's value, a reference, or a pointer, and you know which it is by looking at the callsite. C++ has similar ambiguity with respect to function callsites with references vs pointers, but the convention in the C++ community is to pass by pointer if it's going to be mutated and by const reference if it is not.

IOW, the rules for the C++ type system are easier to learn and use effectively, and their semantics are easier to understand from the code.

The existence of typedef automatically makes it more expressive than C#.
> Because it's possible to have multiple goals at the same time. Reality is a co-optimization problem.

And one thing to consider is that people don't choose colleges just based on academics, they also choose them based on social environments, and as such universities have an incentive to try to create amicable social environments to attract the best students.

Case in point: I decided not to go to a good engineering school because it was more than 80% male and in a small town. The social environment was desperately bro-ish. I backpedaled and went to a liberal arts college primarily because of vastly superior social environment.
I feel similar, from everything I've read, historically creating money causes inflation. We created money and we got inflation. What am I missing?

"I bought a thing".

This isn't even something that could count as an informative review, or even taking the time to film an unboxing. It's 4 short paragraphs about what thing he owned before he bought this thing, and how new thing is better than old thing. And a stock photo.

How does this stuff make it to HN? It's barely distinguishable from a GPT-3 marking campaign for the new thing he bought.
Isn't the fact that it can faithfully simulate, in the style of the author, works the author has never created proof enough that the style is disjoint from the trained content?

Hollie Mengert never rendered the streetscape in the article, but DreamBooth did it in her style.

If we're talking criminal copyright infringement, why is the burden of proof on the defendant to show statistical abstraction if the plaintiff can't prove the AI generates works she has made? (Again, if it is possible to get DreamBooth to kick out Hollie's original work, or substantial portions of it, I'd be inclined to agree with your way of thinking, but I haven't seen that yet).

> embeds an association between the text "Wonder woman" and actual artistic representations of Wonder woman included in the prior art it is trained on

Not if I understand how it works correctly, no; it does not. In fact, Mengert's rendering of Wonder Woman differs from the one DreamBooth kicked out if you look up the work she's done for "Winner Takes All! (DC Super Hero Girls)". This is because DreamBooth's approach is to retrain Stable Diffusion with new information but preserve the old; since Stable Diffusion already had an encoding of what Wonder Woman looked like from a mélange of sources, its resulting rendering is neither Mengert's nor the other sources, but a synthesis of them all.
