It's strange/sad how 50% of their problem is caused by geofencing which is caused by archaic laws.

40% is caused by archaic protocols that don't allow enough addresses or local efficient P2P or ISP caching of public content (sort of what IPFS aimed to do), which would alleviate much of the need for CDNs in the first place. The remaining 10% is just solving hard problems.

I'm a little surprised that splitting by port number gives servers enough connections; maybe they are connection-pooling some of them between their egress and final destination. If there was truly a 1:1 mapping of all user requests to TCP connections then I'd expect there to be ~thousands of simultaneous connections to, say, Walmart today (black Friday) which is also probably on an anycast address, limiting the number of unique src:dst ip and port tuples to 65K per cloudflare egress IP address. Maybe that ends up being not so bad and DCs can scale by adding new IPs? https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-to-stop-running-out-of-ephem... covers a lot of the details in solving that and similar problems.
This seems to privilege DEI activism over and above any other thing that someone might be doing. The candidate who applies their engineering skills to bring power to areas that do not have it? That's just not going to cut it when they are competing against a DEI activist who has burnished their creds on that.
I’ve watched half of it and there was nothing insightful, to be honest.

Almost every successful real estate person I have contact with thinks very highly of RDPD. If you listen to real estate podcasts, almost everyone recommends RDPD. I agree it is light on many details, but many people seem to get a great deal out of that book.

As with any legal term, the exact specification comes down to each individual country and their set of precedence and legal culture. One can ask a lawyer about any legal term and the answer will always be "it depend".

Camping for example, using Sweden as an example, is limited based on if a person is living nearby, what the land is used for, risk of damage to the environment (land and animals included), sanitation, and government issued exceptions and restriction. In practice most people choose to pay for a camping place in order to be allowed to camp. Place near roads are generally used for farming or grazing (neither allow camping under freedom to roam), nature reserves tend to be generally restricted by the government, and naturally people need a place to park their car for a extended time which is not a right given under freedom to roam.

What that leaves most people is the freedom to camp (in small groups) in the forest when hiking or mountaineering.
This might be true, but Ericsson currently has the biggest 5G market share, has more operators onboard and is doing fine even without the Chinese market. For sure it was a big blow, but that’s the way thing go if politics come into play.

I don’t know what US people really feel about all these Chinese companies, but I for once don’t trust their software/hardware. This doesn’t mean that equipment from Ericsson or Nokia Siemens don’t have “backdoors”, but at least they’re clearly communicated with other governments. That’s the good thing if your company is neutral and sells to everyone. Chinese want to sell to everyone but they want the “backdoors” only for themselves ;-)
Yes, they are comparing currently available lithium tech to unavailable sodium tech even though lithium is hardly fully optimized. It's certainly the case that sodium development benefits from decades of lithium research

I'm fairly certain that if one wrote C (or C++) programs with the same safety targets that Rust has out-of-the-box the performance is close, if not (for practical purposes) identical.

Of course, to do much useful (and performant) in Rust one often has to break out `unsafe`, which eliminates some of the out-of-the-box guarantees for safety--and in some cases makes one wonder if it's worth all the overhead instead of just using C or C++.
Back then they had state level and federal level defense councils. People would get reported to the authorities for all sorts of things. If you didn't donate to the red cross you would get on the list.

They also would instruct the pastors of churches to disseminate messages and those that didn't were on the list as well. This is before mass communications took hold. Most folks got their news through word of mouth or gatherings.
It will be an amazingly well engineered phone based on the woefully inferior Android, which is being held back by wokeness.

Sodium-ion batteries with lower energy/mass ratio, but with high endurance and low cost, which are suitable for stationary applications, like storage for solar energy, are already available commercially.

Googling finds on-line offers for 48-V, 2.5 to 10 kWh batteries at an energy/mass ratio of 89 Wh/kg (a similar battery with lithium-iron phosphate has 133 Wh/kg), i.e. a little less than half of what CATL is claimed to have achieved.

It remains to be seen whether the claims about CATL are true, but the difference between what is claimed and what is already available is not so large as to make the claims incredible.

For stationary applications, the sodium-ion batteries already seem a good choice, due to the much lower price than even the lithium-iron phosphate batteries, which have very similar specifications but seem to be 7 to 8 times more expensive.

Looking for a deep learning book posted on HN several months ago
I few months ago, an online book introducing deep learning with was posted to HN. I thought I had bookmarked it, but I guess I didn't.

I remember the book being excellent - containing both theoretical rigor along with practical from-scratch implementations using what I believe were several frameworks (I remember Pytorch being one of them). In the introduction, the book compared itself "Deep Learning" by Courville, Goodfellow and Bengio but with the addition of practical coding examples without sacrificing the theoretical rigor. I would say the explicit goal of the authors was to essentially add coding examples to the "Deep Learning" textbook.

This was not a "cookbook"- style book, but a book that was designed for serious practitioners who wanted to be able understand what was going on under the hood and to be able to roll their own implementations eventually. Subsequent Google searches have come up with only cookbook after cookbook.

Does anybody remember this book or know of it?

Thanks in advance.

It's not over until the market reaches equilibrium. Modest 3 bedroom homes up to an hours commute outside central London are still up to 20-25x the average UK wage. Even with 2 average incomes you're looking at 10-12x.

The math (based on shift in interest rates) says there should be a 30% correction, but the reality is nobody is predicting that. More like 10-15% over the next 2 years.

Meanwhile rents are going in to the stratosphere as people abandon their home-owning aspirations.

Higher rates are doing nothing but causing suffering. Inflation is expected to persist and official projections of it suddenly falling away seem contrived.

Look at the flickering faces in the original Tron's composite screens, grainy high contrast black and white just tinted a little. That's a very deliberate choice, and given the prominence of Metropolis chances aren't small that the inspiration wasn't just any silent era look (granted, they all looked like that), but straight from Fritz Lang.

Just watch a well-tinted copy of his Niebelungen, it's basically the Tron look just longer https://www.pinterest.de/pin/292593307055535367/

I think the barrier is the fact that the new elected official would still have prison time left to serve.

Nothing about that should stop them from running and winning. But running and/or winning shouldn't get them out either.
Sapir-Whorf is discredited AFAIK, although some nearly trivial influence of language probably exists. There's almost no support, and the support I've seen suffers from the usual pitfalls (not excluding other causes, bad inferential statistics, etc.).

I'm appalled that Wikipedia cites a text book as the proof.

The things that make rust “functional” are features like a type system that supports sum and product types and functions as typed values that can be passed around. It really is a functional language (in the original ML sense of the word) but with another orthogonal type system bolted on (borrow checker).

It’s missing some features like higher kinded types but it’s functional nonetheless.

I’m interested to hear what your definition of functional is - it’s always interesting because it’s such a vague term, really.

Why Software Is Difficult
Agree 100%.

It's just important for everyone to keep in mind when discussing slides, presentations, etc that there's not a one size fits all answer to this stuff. Someone talking about the "perfect slide deck" needs to understand they only mean perfect for the specific context they have in mind.
Civilizations do collapse, and that means loss of life and that means loss of demand. That would especially be true in a collapse of today's world, where high-tech farming methods keeps us fed, and globalism keeps all of us wealthy and fat. If we can price the cost of keeping civilization (esp the biosphere) alive into our economies, then by God I'd say capitalism deserves to be crowned the GOAT of civilization organizing principles. Sadly, capitalism is failing terribly at this, and is in fact acting like ignorance is bliss. So dumb!
Taking out the lithium seems a rather big advantage.
Anyway, it's good to have two promising alternatives to Li-ion,
both of which are clearly superior for home use, and likely for affordable, smaller range EVs as well.
I believe that the best “spheres” (i think that is the noosphere term for encyclopedias) will just be referenced the most times.

I would assume that there will also be indexes that curate and collect the best spheres for people to search as well.
"Cycles per instruction" sounds more like a measurement of instruction latency rather than instruction throughput, and I don't think instruction latency has improved as much in the past decade as instruction throughput: the most significant microarchitecture trend has been toward wider CPUs with more execution ports, wider instruction decoders, and larger reorder buffers.

Kindred is excellent and the most popular for good reason. But it as much American history as it is sci-fi. Dawn is my favorite of hers and very sci-fi. Parable of the Sower is also an excellent place to start, more of a post-apocalyptic story.
It’s not a literal pixel and hasn’t been for years – it’s a js file included from a Meta site. They still call it the pixel for some reason, maybe to make it seem less potent.
This is probably one of the most foolish statements I always hear on HN and it is also a logical fallacy.

Also, you have no idea what his position with the market is.

When people talk like this, IMHO, it is out of a fear of something they do not want to believe.

Over a year ago, Sept 21, 2021 he said:

"Giant stock market crash coming October. Why? Treasury and Fed short of T-bills. Gold, silver, bitcoin may crash too. Cash best for picking up bargains after crash. Not selling gold, silver, bitcoin, yet have lots of cash for life after stock market crash. Stocks dangerous. Careful."

He was wrong with his timing on the stock market crash, but Bitcoin is down 70% from then.

China is an immense market for lower-cost EVs. They also do not have as far to drive as most Americans. This battery tech could be less suitable for the US than China and still have an enormous market.
Awesome website!

What kind of use cases are there for using this data in bulk?
There are a ton of post hoc justifications for slides here. Ability to control the audience's rate of uptake of info aside, I think that slides are a cultural norm for presenting info in business presentations that predate computers and were the natural mode for the available early av equipment. Sweating Bullets, a biographical account of the early days of power point, includes some interesting description of what things were like pre-computer.
Here's how you can do that:

1. Build.
2. Remove the object file associated with the C++ file.
3. Build again with CCACHE_RECACHE=1.
I tried it on a few user-ids that I strongly suspected were owned by the same person. My hunches stand corroborated. Not sure who is corroborating whom though, me or the script.

Good job.
I havent opened it yet but the book American Midnight came highly highly recommended, which covers this time period & this event.

A power hungry intolerant federal government mandating War-fervor & jingoism, suppressing all outside voices (largely liberal & progressive), clamping down on how people think & what they say. passing the Sedition Act & charging many under these wartime powers, before it's repeal.

This book supposedly makes quite the case for this being one of thr darkest times in America. Excited scared/sad to start reading it.
It isn't due to a mere property of the user, as, for example, cushman is not bold as the #2 result for tptacek but is bold as the #2 result for icambron.
Say you see user2 listed in bold on user1's page. That means that user1 is also in user2's top 20 users. In my experience it is often an indicator of a good match (but not always). I should probably explain that on the site.
He has been saying similar things for 15 years.

Because he is old he doesn't understand how fractured the world is today. For example, 100 people could create some new crypto token and mint 100 trillion coins. Then they could sell 100 of those tokens online for 100 dollars. Technically that would mean that the marketcap of crypto is now 100 trillion and very likely that this value will plummet in the future. That would be a 'huge' bubble, but have very little impact on the real world since it only effects a small number of people

Then you're disenfranchising the majority of democratic voters, millions of citizens, in preference of ossifying so-called criminal justice against a mere one human. Why would you do that? What hallowed value does that serve?

The question of what's a crime and what's valid is a democratic question fundamentally, and is and should be mutable.

We're in this thread, remember, because pretentious ideologues once imprisoned an anti-war protestor for bullshit reasons that were framed as "crimes".
> It's crazy how much data these scripts collect

And you're ok with this?
I disagree, pick an interpreted language that doesn’t need compilers or other complicated setup. Python, javascript, something where there’s little friction to getting started, and which has a REPL. Pick a language that a friend or colleague can help you with, this is probably an even bigger advantage, if possible.
> Yes, sequential I/O bandwidth is closing the gap to memory.

Hilariously meanwhile, RAM has become significantly slower compared to CPU performance, i.e. you spend a disproportionate time to read and write to memory, so despite RAM is faster, CPU is way faster.

Which means I/O remains a bottleneck...
It is closed due to structural issues for the time being I believe. The smaller Hill Av branch is also good.
What about other requirements for office and limitations, like the age and citizenship requirement and term limits for President of the United States? Should “democracy overrule” those too?
It's worth pointing out that Python is 30ish years old at this point.

It's "outstanding features" were creating a syntax that a lot of people can quickly grok (not just programmers) and the way they allowed for extensions to be written in C.

I believe it also popularized the concept of "there should be one obvious way of doing things", in stark contrast with Perl; "there's more than one way to skin a cat".

It's easy to look at this now and say that it's nothing interesting, because it already pushed the boundaries.
> The nearest thing you might find today .. maybe Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets? Luc Besson has some of the same pulp influences.

Yes. Valérian is on the mainstream side of that 1980s sci-fi movement. One of the authors also was an artist for the Fifh Element. And a heavy influence on George Lucas (several Star Wars scenes are straight out of Valérian).

> Maybe we just skip the middle steps and have the AI make the film.

Several of these artists would have loved to have AIs to use back in the day. Very fitting in the whole artistic project.
"People in the UK tend to avoid confrontation in an understated, mannered, and humorous style that can be either powerful or inefficient."

Enter Brexit.

All jokes aside, trying to alter your communication patterns based on these diagrams will probably lead to poor results. A tool of good communicators is being able to assess situations and find paths towards empathy and collaboration. Bad communicators are rigid in their style and unyielding, which leads to friction and misunderstanding.
I have seen a fairly common solution being deployed in those situations. People who tend to be that lazy that they litter will also be too lazy to walk large distances with their stuff. Thus the solution that land owners deploy is to increase the walking distance between potential parking location and the desired nature destination.

Obviously this lower the accessibility for disabled people so its not a perfect solution, but if government want to make it accessible then they can also pay for solving the littering problem.
Right now any framing that somehow involves sticking it to Elon Musk guarantees clicks.
