You know what datasets we have very good statistics for? Deaths. We know, to the person, how many people have died. We have that information year-in and year-out for decades. We know, for a fact, that in excess of 1 million Americans died during the pandemic than would have been expected.

Also, please stop waving away these deaths as "comorbidities" and act like Covid wasn't involved in these deaths. If these people hadn't had a Covid infection then they wouldn't be dead. Period end. That's why 1 million more Americans than expected died. There are millions of Americans successfully managing their heart disease and diabetes who otherwise can expect to live long lives. Covid cut those lives short.
Yes PyTorch uses what they call a caching memory allocator[0], basically seems like are allocating a very chunk of GPU memory and implementing a heap with it. If needed they expose some knobs and functions to allow you to control it and observe the memory usage.

You may be able to pull the fuse for the ACU, but you would be trading the slight chance that you get into an accident requiring restraint and that the inflator has experienced excessive degradation and produces shrapnel, with a much higher chance that you get into an accident that requires restraint and your seatbelt pretensioners and airbags don't function at all since you've disabled them.
Markdown can simply be code - the fenced code blocks are quite enjoyable to work with. RMarkdown is this. Before I learned of RMarkdown I had written something to extract code blocks with filenames that are visible in the rendered page (since hiding it at the end of the first triple backquote codefence isn't great for visibility). I'm currently working on a JavaScript-centered notebook tool (rather than Python centered or R centered as two great ones are). https://github.com/ResourcesCo/macchiato/blob/main/scripts/m... https://github.com/ResourcesCo/notebook

Markdown nested lists could also be used as an alternative to JSON and YAML - they would appear as bullets in a rendered markdown file. I didn't know about this until I started experimenting but inline code blocks can contain backquotes just like fenced code blocks can contain triple backquotes, by wrapping them in a greater number of backquotes.
> so he is circumventing that California law

Not a Musk fan, but "circumventing" feels a bit weird when he's basically acting in the spirit of it?
For iOS I really like Reeder
Musk reminds me everyday of a russian/Eastern European oligarch. He is a thug.
For iOS folks, I can't recommend NetNewsWire more. I pair NNW on my phone and laptop with Fresh.RSS running on my raspberry pi for most of my news and blog feeds these days.

HN nerds might remember that NNW is very fast, even by native macOS standards: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23286362

If you're feeling fatigued by algorithmic nonsense these days, you should seriously give RSS a try.
For me personally, two reasons

1. I find it easier to work with JSON using javascript

2. The stupid reason, I find it more aesthetically pleasing
OK, why don't you volunteer then to give up the basic human tendency to fall in love, and give it up indefinitely for many years at a time? It's not temporary if it can last for a decade, is it? Just live a pathetic little life in a box, collecting money for the day, many years away, when you can finally let yourself be a human again?

Tell me, which decade of your life would you be OK with throwing away this way? Your 20s? Your 30s? Get back to me on that.

By the same logic college students should never date, as they may move somewhere far off after graduating.

Sadly, while there is surgery that takes away your ability to procreate, there is as yet no surgery that will supress your ability to fall in love or to live a normal life.

So even if an immigrant comes here with the same stupid mindset you are displaying, and tries hard to never fall in love, it may happen anyway.

I don't know if I've read a more unempathetic statement on HN. Perhaps you are a happy lifelong bachelor, and can't relate to any other point of view. That is the only case that would make me understand where you're coming from, for if you have ever actually experienced love, you would understand the hypocrisy of your view.
The "insanity" of the section characters isn't really … it's just that the adorning character doesn't matter so much. (Other than it has to be the same.)

The picture-of-a-tweet nails it, but the author misses the point. It's not "we have Python devs" it's "reST has the best syntax for extensibility": if you need to start doing some sort of macro or pre-processing, reST's syntax is cut out for that. M↓ is not; you'll need to do it out of band. Or, to put it differently, reST's directives offer extension hooks.

> You’ll need to set up an identity and access management (IAM) service in front of your static website. Unless IAM is your jam, it’s better to avail of a managed service to tackle it.

We throw ours behind Github, I think using https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy ; then Github is our IAM.

Honestly, while I think reST has a more cleanly thought out syntax that will allow you to grow the complex use cases docs will inevitably hit … the tooling just isn't as good, IMO. Markdown parsers are prolific … reST … not so much, particularly outside of Python. (And IMO, docutils in Python is not very easy to use if you want fine control over parsing & output. It's there, but just hard to take advantage of.) M↓'s syntax is also somewhat limiting: there's just not a lot it can do. (Admonitions, in particular, are useful in tech docs and missing.) There's always HTML, … but that's just not the same.

(I've no experience w/ AsciiDoc.)
That's an awfully impolite accusation
> There's an option of overbuilding PV to fully accommodate cloudy days or the winter season

If that is the future -- I hope it is :D

Then there will be hours of the day where electricity is practically free, if not actually free.
So any mechanism for time shifting energy consumption might generate a nice buck.

I guess the competition is PV or wind + long distance transmission loss.
It keeps recommending repetitive content even though I've been disliking all those videos. By those videos I mean trans, overweight, animal cruelty, and Indian related. At least this is my experience and I've seen shorts comments telling the same thing.

That really depends. Most buildings are financed with mortgages, so if there is a real estate crash then they can actually have negative values, even after only a small price drop. Even FTT coins can only be worth zero. This is one of the unexpected dangers of "safe" assets: people will lend on safe assets, so fund managers leverage up until they're not safe anymore and you get 2008 type issues.

Ultimately all of this is pretty standard for Hedge/Investment funds. If you want safe, diversified, limited downside investments, get an few index funds. The minute you go to a hedge fund you're asking for risk whether the underlying is questionable crypto or US Treasuries...
I've seen something similar before, where a specific JPEG header and specific quantization matrices was added to user-provided binary data to make the very low-res images. That method uses the native JPEG decoder, so it's fast.
Speculation, and furthermore the model itself isn't distributed to consumers.
Gun safety isn't the issue. Gun safety is heavily scrutinized and important to the overwhelming majority of moral gun owners.

The problem is sociopaths that want attention. Gun safety doesn't fix that. Getting gunned down before they can carry out their sick acts, and not being talked about on corporate media, are what's needed.
Agree re: the less sinister explanation. I think only this particular tweet has been removed and the other tweets referred in the article are still up.
Are you suggesting running everything as root?

As in when you setup a new vm or whatnot, that you shouldn't create a user account to run thing as?

Does this include things like nginx not dropping privileges to run as a user?
Yes, it's clear that the lawyers were involved and they're doing this within the rules.

"Ads don't pay for the Internet, they pay for content."
Not quite sure I agree with this. Who pays for all the routers and servers and CDN and whatnot? I think you mean that you pay for your CONNECTION to the internet, which I agree is true, but there's a lot more "plumbing" that goes into it besides the content generation itself, or your internet connection:
<ISP> - <LOTS OF REALLY EXPENSSIVE STUFF> - <CONTENT>

"I'd rather pay cash money for the app that is being advertised"
Me too! But I think we're in the minority. When I ask most people about whether they'd pay for content to avoid ads, they say "no, why would I pay when it's free?"

"than pay-per-view for ads..." - Actually I'd LOVE to have literal pay-per-view for content. Can I pay 1 cent or 5 cents or whatever to read that article without any ads or trackers and such? I think that would be a great experience - but again, I think I'm alone on that.
Second densest large city. But if you do it by municipality, SF is the 21st most dense in the country. Four of NYC's five boroughs (coextensive with counties, the way SF is coextensive with SF county) are individually denser than SF.

I'm never happy with mass layoffs, but reading some tweets and going through some profiles linked to the article, it is clear to see that some people who were fired, weren't happy with the company. So regardless of their performance, maybe was everything that they needed to find their happiness in another company?
This is why in Korean cuisine the default dining set is spoon+chopsticks.
I disagree and i think this is the most important part:

> Investors were increasingly unhappy. HP’s market valuation sank to a point where it was lower than the value of its individual businesses

This+change for the sake of change are the most important factors. I refuse to believe that e.g. GE's CEO is incapable of delegating specific strategy to the Director/CEO/whatever they're called of each division. When you have that, how exactly is the fact that it's a conglomerate stopping anyone from anything? You just have bigger backing/other revenue streams to cover any problems/etc.

The main advantage of diversification I see are protection against market downturns in some areas, and some potential for economies of scale/synergies. Take Bombardier, who had to sell off everything (obligatory fuck Boeing and fuck US courts for dodgy attempts at protectionism) and are now only in aviation, and more specifically private jets. That's a very specific niche to be in, and is subject to a bunch of things (e.g. Russian oligarchs getting sanctioned, high prices of fuel, legislation against this, etc.) that could impact them. Had they remained a more diversified company, they would have had much more leeway.

Of course the biggest problem is that bigger companies are more complicated to manage, but that's why one would delegate.
> Are unlimited contracts not that typical in the US?

I had to look this up. This is definitely not a thing in the US. Why would a company even offer that? Also, the US you can basically leave a job whenever you want.

> from what I read here in the US it is perfectly normal to wake up and find out you've been fired

Maybe a cultural difference here, but why would you want it any other way? If I'm notified that I'm going to be fired in 4 months, why would I bother showing up to work those 4 months? You may as well fire me now and pay me the 4 months' salary.
Majority of Americans favour new stimulus checks to combat inflation
That's actually part of why their are so many Musk haters: he rewrites history to make himself appear successful, taking credit from those who actually did the work.

Paypal was based on Thiel's startup, not Musk's. In fact, after Paypal merged with Musk's X.com, X.com shut down all of its pre-merger activities and focused exclusively on scaling Thiel's Paypal. Musk forced his original CEO out and took over the merged company, but was fired by the board months later for gross incompetence, and is a member of the Paypal Mafia solely because of the golden parachute his lawyers negotiated for him. (Note that Thiel and the other members of the Mafia absolutely hate Musk; go through media interviews of these guys and you'll notice how much they avoid talking about him.)

Electric cars were a thing before Musk; hell they actually pre-date ICE vehicles. The issue was that batteries were very expensive; Tesla simply happened to come along when batteries started getting cheap enough to put into cars and artificially low interest rates made it feasible to invest billions in high-risk startups.

Vertical landing rockets were invented by NASA in the 1970s, but they never had the budget to develop those into viable alternatives to the Space Shuttle program, because politicians had a vested interest in the Space Shuttle program and not in reusable rockets. The development of SpaceX's reusable rockets was entirely funded by NASA and the DoD.

Affordable global satellite internet already exists. Iridium is actually cheaper than Starlink, and is close to profitability. Starlink currently runs at a massive deficit and by SpaceX's own admission will not be profitable if Starlink does not receive government internet access funding.

Musk's life's work was not to innovate anything. It was to find innovative things being done by other people and to take all the credit for himself.

Being able to write to /etc/ is effectively just granting full access, since there's lots of things in there that can run code.

Doing fine-grained access is really hard; even without "root" you still have things like, say, "archive_command" in postgresql.conf which will allow running people to run arbitrary commands as the postgres user, and is that really what you want? There's lots of little things like that ranging from application configurations to crontabs to your init system.

Sure, but I am wondering how many of those employees are actually in the bay area...

FB is flailing, Goog is a nightmare to get hired at, as is Apple (because of their corp egos)... (ive been here and in industry for 26 years, I know these companies DNA well... they are age-ist egomaniacs... so if you dump 3500 twitter workers on the streets os san francisco... thats going to be a tough market. and with the likelihood that many are renters, in one of the most expensive cities in the US, outcomes will be grief.

Musk better give a good severance for the careers he's abt to kill - because he can afford to do so.

(This comment is from my point of view and is about me. It is not about you. It's OK if people are different! I am not trying to force you to feel how I do.)

Near the end of a year of forced WFH, I was pretty close to zero productive hours per day. I hated it. I would wake up crying. If having a few unproductive hours of chat per day with coworkers who also want to be in the office is what keeps me sane and working, then so be it. My employer seems fine with it.

(Thanks for reading this comment. This is a reminder that this comment was from my point of view and was about me. You may feel differently than I do! That's OK.)
> In the case of computer engineers maybe they need to be legally responsible directly for this kind of stuff.

Don't you think that management deserves a share of the trophy? If everything that goes wrong with software is blamed on engineers, then what do we need management for?

For example they may have failed to ensure that sufficient resources are available to do code reviews, or they may have cut corners by assigning a project to a junior that should have been assigned to a senior, or by assigning a project to one developer where three are needed, or by setting unrealistic deadlines that put people under unnecessary stress, or by telling them "It's just a quick PoC" and then later "We need that on production yesterday".
Ok, I disagree that it's against their own interests. At the very least, I'm sure the people making these decisions believe it is in their own interests. But that's really beside the point. The point is, big business has always been political. I can't think of any coherent definition of politics that doesn't include "influencing power for your own advantage."
If I post a comment suggesting that xeromal's distaste for downvoting is because they have a tendency to post low-effort comments and generally not contribute to healthy conversation, would you just let that be, too? Perhaps you would, but many people might expect an accusation they consider untrue to be worth downvoting.

This is an Ask HN. People are generally expected to upvote accurate answers and downvote inaccurate answers.

An answer which includes false accusations of brigading, praises Musk as brilliant, and suggests that all dissension is due to politics is unhelpful, inaccurate, and worth downvoting. As I said before, I'd have downvoted it myself, but it was already sufficiently downvoted.
Agree w/ your point, and your suggested title.

Looking at the slug, it seems like TFA might have originally butchered, and later changed the title, too.

Your comment is quite revealing of the cultural conflict underlying this debate. The dominant liberal white culture--which is adopted by many assimilated desis--holds that people should “follow their bliss” and disapproves of how Asians raise their kids. They view that as part of "gaming" the system, don’t like the incentive structure and competitiveness created when educational institutions are “dominated” by Asian kids. For them, capping the percentage of asians to preserve the culture of the institution is valuable in-and-of itself.
Individually, every performance benchmark will test against a defined/repeatable workload. If you think about it, if you don't benefit from the performance improvements, does it really matter to you? And if it is noticeable to you, what metrics are you using to determine that? Once you narrow that down, it will be easy to come up with a workload to compare them.
