Yes indeed, anytime anything is worth remembering (or connecting with other notes) I write it down. It interrupts reading, so I don’t churn through as many books.

>And while AI generated art is just another tool in a giant warehouse of ever expanding tools, who gives a shit? Cause take a look around at the impact of the best of the best. There is none.

The quality of that “tool” in particular is imho markedly different as opposed to non-AI digital tools. It opens up a space of possibilities for “visual art” which is now tangentially comparable to the impact of computers (i.e. computations per unit time) to the art of proofs in mathematics. One way of using its power is by calculating pi to the n-th place (“eye candy” in “visual art speak”) or another to overcome the sheer amount of calculations necessary (technical limitations) for a viable proof.[0] If there is one way to prove it can inspire confidence for a more elegant/aesthetically pleasing/understandable proof.

As for the impact, I agree, we have yet to see. Maybe I’m too optimistic.

Floating point operations are not deterministic in other situations: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/floating-point-...

This can be terribly hard to manage in tests if you don't have a threshold infrastructure in place (which is hard and sometimes impossible to setup if you don't want to preserve huge references).

Also, and this is a bit off topic, even if I remained in the float domain for my use case, I would have to re-implement the lib math routines anyway (in my case cbrt and pow) because they are not implemented the same in all the libc, making them again victim to non determinism.

So far I observed better performance with integer arithmetic anyway, but that's not the reason that motivated me.

Also note that there are other situations were you may want to keep integers; typically in the kernel, or on arch were the floating point is not optimal or even available.
Ask HN: Is it me or iOS development has become more fragmented than Android
I'm referring to developer experience. Take dependencies for example. Adding a dependency for an SDK in Android seems to have become more consolidated; a Maven url in Gradle and you're good to go. On iOS you have multiple options; Swift Package Manager, CocoaPods, Carthage. On the other hand, iOS UI feels consolidated but Android design feels still fragmented. Is anyone adopting Material design at all?
I used to believe the Iraq War was about oil too, but the theory doesn't really stand up when you consider that there were several much easier ways for the US to secure an oil supply in the early 2000s (as other commenters have noted). Instead, I suggest you read about the Wolfowitz Doctrine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfowitz_Doctrine), named after Paul Wolfowitz, the man who CNN in 2003 called the "Godfather of the Iraq War" (https://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/12/29/timep.wolfowitz.t...).

Indeed… That does seem to be the best way to go about this particular task.
What I mean is if you have 50,000 unit tests, writing an actual CI config will let you split that up in to 20 jobs that all run at once and if a test fails, you can retry that 1/20th of the tests instead of the whole thing.

The CI runners aren’t multi core VMs I believe so you can’t just use standard shell utilities, you have to indicate to the CI system you want to run multiple tasks.

A faster car allows you to safely overtake more frequently than a slow one because it requires less time (distance) to complete the accelerate/overtake/return operation.

Many drivers in slow cars think they can execute the same manoeuvre as the fast car in front of them and this is when accidents happen - often fatal too.

I actually worked for a company making ebikes for a while so got my chance to try them out - like I said - motorcycle with cheap components, handles better for sure because it's lighter - but it's not built for traffic speeds.

People think because kids can drive it that it's safe - like I've said - quick Google search shows higher accident rate for ebikes than motorcycles ! And we are comparing to cars here - that's like >10x risk increase.

And every self built one I've seen had a way to remove speed limiting block (interested if have yours limited ?). That's a recepie for disaster.
Lots of commercial software is licensed that way
72% is my rule of thumb for write heavy production stuff (my absolute limit would be 75%) but it depends on record-size, raidz-level, if you have mostly write or mostly read workloads, how big your files are, how many snapshots you have, if you have a dedicated ZIL-Device and much more. For a Home-NAS (Movies etc) you can easy go up to 85%...if it's a "~WORM" workload maybe 90%...but resilvering can then be a thing of days (weeks?), depends on the raidz-level or mirror etc.

>Yeah, that's a myth now. It's not current advice.

It's not and you know it, keep it under 72% believe me if you want a performant zfs (especially if you delete files and have many snapshots...check the YT linked at the end)

>>Keep pool space under 80% utilization to maintain pool performance. Currently, pool performance can degrade when a pool is very full and file systems are updated frequently, such as on a busy mail server. Full pools might cause a performance penalty, but no other issues. If the primary workload is immutable files (write once, never remove), then you can keep a pool in the 95-96% utilization range. Keep in mind that even with mostly static content in the 95-96% range, write, read, and resilvering performance might suffer.

And under no circumstances go over 90%:

Not too many complaints. I like it much better than Java backend.

I think you will find that most dictionaries defines objectivity and subjectivity as binary opposites, and that there can be no such thing as a subjective opinion that can morph into objectivity, even if the phenomena are ghastly.

But I'm sure you find people who agree with you, all those who want to have their opinions elevated to objective truth, much like churches of old that claimed to have God on their side. To me such a stance is usually indications of prejudice and naïve realism [0], and perhaps worse; relieves one of the hard work of trying to see the other side, preventing one from building a solid case for ones own (subjective, but morally better) stance.

The average HN reader is highly overrated for other reasons.

> have detest for office politics

The problem is that many people on HN believe any interaction with someone with an MBA, marketing background, manager, etc. is “office politics.”
Equity is also where the downside is!
What could possibly be the harm in allowing people to harass others based on posts they made decades ago? What could possibly be harmful in making a person who for whatever reason has changed their online identity easier to track? What could be remotely harmful about allowing Marlboro to find the accounts of ex-smokers? What could be the harm in tracking underaged users site by site?

I'm sure this is completely harmless and will not harm society.

There is a lot of contractors and you have to be extremely good to do what the dude/dudette said.

Like - have a unique skillset, have multiple certifications, recommendations, proven B2B experience as a consultant.

Then getting contracts is easy. Probably less easy now tho.
Their first comment and submission were 4 hours ago. Text on the page is accurate it seems.
Your comment quotes an HN guideline, and my point relates to it. Some users may feel the need to create throwaway accounts in order to post comments that in an alternative reality they could post under their primary account and later delete if desired. It may not stop a scrupulous collector of data, but such a scenario may not be the object of their worry.

Drawing this into the logical conclusion, a user may opt to always post under a throwaway account, to avoid any possible tainting associated with a primary account.

Unfortunately there isn't an obvious way to surface good reviews (it's not clear what "top reviews" means, but they don't generally seem that good), yours may get more eyes as Reddit posts or on a blog.

Verified purchase only & 1-2 stars lets me quickly scan through for those people who come back months after purchase to write reviews because the thing broke in some way. I don't care about good/middling reviews except in aggregate, but the bad ones are worth delving into.

Maybe that people outside the us involve others more in decision making and rely on them for support. And in the US people decide things on their own and their conversations are just storytelling. Not sure if that is what the commenter was going for, just a guess
I think so.

A funny thought — my “matches” cap out at around .56. Having false positives* in a tool like this might feel like a “bad result” but actually I think it just means that if someone were running this sort of tool across the whole internet, I’d be relatively easy to correlate, while your identity would be intermingled with your .6-.7 partners.

*actually they aren’t really even false positives because the tool doesn’t promise to detect alts in the first place, just find similar styles.
We are talking about grad students here, in case you missed that.
A fun fact (and I'm not violating any NDA here) my client https://paireyewear.com is growing very fast and last year they raised $73 million from VC investors. They have their main store on Shopify, so they didn't need too much on the backend: only their CRM for keeping customers happy and handling returns and damaged goods and refunds and special sales. Also, on the backend, they had all the integrations with the 3PL, that is, 3rd Party Logistics, which is to say, they worked with external warehouses, because they weren't ready to have their own warehouses. They did have integrations with the warehouses so they could track inventory levels.

So the fun fact is this: they were running entirely on free Heroku dynos. This year they successfully transferred to AWS, but they got to a fairly big scale while running entirely on free Heroku dynos. I'm still kind of amazed by that.
Yeah, Meta cut 11k people, Amazon has a hiring freeze right now, things are slower at Google hiring, not sure about Microsoft or any of the other big tech companies. Partially driven by interest rates disproportionately affecting tech, partially these companies are just missing earnings a lot and needing to cut headcount. Not sure how private companies are faring, but probably similarly getting pressure to cut headcount -- would imagine that this would start happening in other countries too (e.g., Canada sees lagging interest rates vs. U.S.)

One important piece which is missing from this article is the synchronizing effect that music has on groups of people and the effect that group synchronization has on group selection.

I.e. groups that listen to the same music gained a survival advantage over less synchronized groups when competing for resources or in combat.
> And what happens when I migrate to new server? Do I have to tell all my friends about server change?

No. Assuming you have access to your old and new account and both servers are still in operation, you can effectively transfer your followers from your old account to the new one.

Personally never had a need to try it so no guarantees, but I know it's there in case I need it.
I would presume that OP is referring to the actual content of the comments. This just does stylometric analysis, which looks at word choice, but not what the arrangement of the words mean.

If some accounts are found to be stylometrically similar, and then a visual inspection also shows them all stating similar opinions, that latter piece of data is a strong signal.
> There are a few close matches to dang's style of template-y comments in the results.

At least the #1 close match (sctb) was a comoderator with dang, so they were kind of alts as the official voice of HN.
This might make some sense if you knew what the hell you were talking about, but Hikvision and Dahua are not at all in the same market segments as Nest and Ring - and this does not apply to the consumer market.

Unity is an online shop that works as a game engine IMHO. But honestly for 3D prototyping it is allright. Unitys project structure is hard to scale right and most 3rd party stuff most people rely on is not of good quality.

For 2D games I'd go with Godot or LÖVE2D. When you are more of a programmer LÖVE will give you all the freedom. Godot is more opinionated but has all the batteries included for advanced game projects.

Oh, in case you want to go fairly low level you could also grab Raylib and your favorite C-Compiler :)

>So for some people who assumed anonymity this could be anything from unimportant to awkward to a real problem.

If that's the case, then that was a bad assumption, IMHO.

I don't assume anonymity. I assume pseudonymity.

Then again, I don't use alt accounts either. And, interestingly, the closest "match" for me is 0.51 on the site you mentioned.

Which, I guess, is both good and bad. Good in the sense that I'm expressing myself as me. And bad in that if folks were to use this dataset to compare to other sites where I also post, my activities on multiple sites could be correlated. Which would probably annoy me, but not for the reasons you may think.
Then you didn't read very carefully:

> Several letters noted the fact that the derivatives market had become concentrated in a dwindling number of players, and argued that it would be safer to trust middleman-free operations such as Bankman-Fried’s. “In the traditional intermediated model, a dependence on a limited number of clearing organizations creates a systematic concentration of risk,” Richard J. McDonald, chief regulatory counsel for Susquehanna International Group, wrote “The CFTC has an opportunity to minimize market risk by enabling platforms, such as FTX, to provide direct access to trading on margin without required intermediation.”

Susquehana is a very well respected tradfi quant firm: https://sig.com/

> FTX’s plan would “protect and empower” US investors, permitting retail investors access to products “previously available only to the small subset of well-resourced and powerful investors able to connect to the complex, traditional market infrastructure,” Peter L. Briger, CEO of investment manager Fortress Investment Group, wrote to the CFTC

Fortress Investment Group is a very well respected tradfi firm.

They're all right there. And this isn't even a complete list. If you search around, plenty of other traditional quant/HFT firms strongly supported the move. Basically the only two entities that opposed it were CME and Binance.
I’ve noticed a tendency in the US to assume that everything that happens in the world is caused by internal US interests. That all international issues get re-cast in domestic political terms.

Did the US start the Libyan civil war? No, in fact the US was one of the last of the western militaries to get involved, after Canada, France and the UK. The US initially played a minor role.

Did the US instigate the Syrian civil war? Again, no, the US only involved when IS got involved.

I watched an interview with Tulsi Gabbard where she said the Ukraine War was caused by US corporations that profit from selling weapons. I mean what’s the theory, that Lockheed persuaded Putin to invade Ukraine? It’s absurd. I get that she hates the military industrial complex, and maybe she has many valid reasons, but in this case she’s delusional.

I’m not at all saying there aren’t factions in the US that do advocate military adventurism, and profit from it. That’s a real thing. The second Gulf war is an example, I’ll give you that one, but even in that case that was just one of many factors and I don’t think it would have been decisive by itself. Also yes, the west absolutely compromises principles for geopolitical and economic interests. But this idea that all foreign conflicts are a plot by the military industrial complex is a bit absurd. It’s not always all about you, guys.
There are also some legal stuff preventing me from getting a job just now so I'm in an area where I legally can't even look for a job right now. Germans and their red tape :)
> I don't think we have even a theoretical plan for fixing computer
security.

I think we do, but the implications of it are terrifying, overwhelming
and just make people shrug and say "That'll never happen".

How I see it there are two sides.

Those who want a functioning technological society with all the
benefits we believe in as hackers - transport, medicine,
communications, planning... For that we'll have no choice but to make
computers secure.

That side is "society".

In the other corner are those who do not want computers to be secure
(despite what they say). They benefit from insecurity. These are;

- Criminals.

- Governments.

- Industry.

They are not aligned and fight amongst themselves. Only the criminals
are honest in that they don't pretend to want secure computing.
Governments and industry want secure computing for themselves, but not
for the others, or for society.

For secure computing to ever happen three well organised, well funded
and determined groups would have to lose against a disorganised,
distributed, and poor remainder.

There are two things on our side to give us hope;

- That the enemy of my enemy is a temporary friend.

- Mathematics.
HN should more to support privacy. Allow anonymous posts instead of forcing users into the pattern of throwaways that are linkable. Karma right now also makes it hard to use a throwaway per comment. getting downvoted on a first post might lock your account for some hours, so you are forced to build up karma with lots of posts.

+ give users a way to delete their profile once posted. If not whole comment history, at least remove their username from the db.
