I don't think "time to desktop" is the reason people sleep their computers. When I close my laptop lid and then re-open it an indeterminate amount of time later, all my programs, browser tabs and what have you are where I left them. Just like how when I pull my phone out of my pocket, all my apps are where I left them.

Turning the machine off means I need to re-open all my shit again. That's annoying.
The higher the cost of electricity the more lucrative new renewable energy sources are. Markets will do their thing.

The short term concerns you bring up are valid but at the same time to expect to shift from an oil based world to an electricity based world seamlessly is asking a lot.

Ironically this is the least accessible solution because it doesn’t let the user change the font size at all (not that it’s particularly common in this day and age, due to full-page zooming being the default since at least 2010)
> This could be the tech that dislodges Google from its monopoly!

Google has been part of the arms race for this kind of AI from the beginning, so even if this kind of AI (alone or connected to other things) dislodges Google’s current model as an entry point for information queries, it may not dislodge Google from its position.
Zero knowledge proofs are post-bitcoin, just even harder to understand and less(?) efficient.

It has been substantially below 2% in the tests I’ve done for various medium-sized business sites.

ems have their uses, too! Especially for secondary/tertiary text where you might want it to always be 0.8 em of the parent but not want to write a whole separate set of media queries for it.
I once lost a Surface 2 Pro to self-cookery--took it out of my bag at the airport departures lounge, the thing had to be 140F on the outside and it was bricked. On the plus side, Microsoft later replaced it gratis with a like model.

But still the SEC is usually in the lead initially, before referral to the DoJ, and thus the SEC would be the gatekeeper and pace setter, especially this early on. They're in the best position to begin gathering and analyzing evidence, afterall, as well as determining impact and priority. (But please correct me if I'm wrong. The closest I've ever been to such types of investigations is hearing war stories from a law professor who had worked either at the IRS, or at the DoJ on some cases referred from the IRS. Other than that, I just follow the news and interesting legal cases.)

Perhaps the DoJ has already starting formally looking at FTX, et al, on their own. OTOH, I actually had never heard of FTX or Bankman-Fried before recently, and honestly still don't get what the hubbub is about. I'm skeptical how impactful the collapse truly is, beyond the rarified world of crypto enthusiasts, wealthy tech investors, etc. And given that its overseas, I really wouldn't expect (either pragmatically or idealistically) the SEC or DoJ to rapidly shift significant resources and attention to FTX; certainly not on the order of days or weeks.
Isn't that covered by this?

Nah, I read what you put. "Anorectic people" don't need liposuction. Trans people do need affirmative healthcare.

Don't make a false equivalence then. This isn't the proper forum to educate you on the psychological nuances between body dysmorphic elements of anorexia nervosa, and gender dysphoria -- suffice to say that (a) they are not remotely the same thing, and (b) trans people aren't saying they are "too fat."

They're entirely different feelings. One is concerned around the perceived appearance of one particular aspect, the other is centred in their inherent existence and integration within society and the social construct that is gender. They are not the same.

Curation in the Age of Streaming and DVDs
In the 'old days' of broadcast & cable TV you'd turn on the television and watch _what is on_. This list of media was curated by the networks--what they can get and what's available. You'd sit down and go through the listing and once in a while be surprised and find joy when an old favorite was scheduled.

For example, during the holiday season I watch old Christmas movies to get into the holiday spirit. I will certainly find the usual suspects: _It's a Wonderful Life_ (1946), _Bishop's Wife_ (1947), _White Christmas_ (1954). Then, once in a blue moon I'll see _Christmas Eve_[[1]] (1947) with George Raft and Randolph Scott [[2]]--a quirky movie with an eccentric mother who runs a train set on her dining table to serve tea to guests [[3]] (It's the best trope in the film, and every reason to rewatch it).

Today there is so much new content.

I'm trying to clear up my thoughts on this idea of *what compells us to rewatch an old favorite*. I'm fixated on the fact that in the 'ol days you didn't have much choice. This made watching classics fun, like a rediscovery. You watched what was on (and there's a bit of convincing yourself you were happy to watch something you hadn't seen in a while), and it was a mini-event. To find Christmas Eve scheduled, you would realize this showing might be the only chance to see it until next year.

Now with streaming and DVDs, you can watch whatever you want when you want to watch it. But this has taken away the fun of re-watching old classics. Now, it feels like it's just a playlist. Where's the joy?

In the social media age you can find curated lists of what's _good_, or what's _popular_, and then stick into your list a surprise classic.

What other forms of curation have you run into or can you imagine that compel us to rewatch classics?

Thank you for sharing your recommendation, but I'm afraid that this book contains misinformation and promotes conspiracy theories that are not supported by evidence. I would kindly ask that you refrain from posting recommendations for this book in the future, as it is not in line with the standards and guidelines of HN.
This is a crap article, to put it nicely. The article barely even talks about funding, and only mentions it in the context of the .NET Foundation, which is not all of .NET's massive open-source community. .NET has a thriving OSS scene and, frankly, NuGet packages are often of far better quality than anything you'll find on NPM. .NET receives regular releases and security patches.

The article spends far, far too much time talking about .NET Framework, which is not the same as .NET (formerly .NET Core). The entire point of .NET Core was to be cross-platform; this means things that are Windows only (COM, WCF, WPF, etc.) were and are deprioritized. This surprises no one.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say the whole article is a submarine marketing piece for AWS.
They pulled out of that pretty rapidly when they realised just what a disaster Andrew Lee was going to be.

Took them a few days to realise their mistake though, so they still got to eat a bunch of reputational fallout anyway.

Users can distinguish between some opioids, but not all.

Opioids aren’t pure mu-agonists, they also have sigma agonists effects which produce non-opioid effects and also have off effects (histamine release). Combine that with the onset and duration of action, users can definitely tell if they got fentanyl versus say morphine. But not really between heroin and morphine.
Nothing wrong with political messages. But I for one was surprised to see someone presumably highly intelligent who believes in collective responsibility and that it’s okay to discriminate against 130+ million people based on their country of birth.

I disagree. Ubuntu with the MATE interface feels familiar for people coming from windows as it's a very traditional veneer on the surface but it quickly breaks down. Pretty soon your hacking some random text file config that you'll forget about in a month and will be incompatible with your next upgrade.

I'm a long time Linux user but I've recently started using Windows for development. It's actually surprisingly decent. It's disgusting all the spam you get in a fresh install but after 5 mins of turning that off youre left with a clean feeling OS

The biggest thing that brings me back to windows is that Linux _still_ completely halts when hitting low memory situations. It's just embarrassing. Accidentally add an infinite memory leak to a program I'm building or open one to many tabs and your system grinds yo a halt while thrashing pages in and out of memory. Windows is capable of figuring out which processes I'm actively trying to use and somehow prevent trashing from making the system unusable.
It's hard not to conclude from some people's own words that their worldview isn't, basically, "screw over the out-group, protect the in-group" more than "one set of rules applies to everyone."
There was a statement made by the developer of Everything search about open sourcing his code at some point in the future.

> If a probabilistic process is able to ‘pass a Turing test’, the only thing that really says is that the Turing test wasn’t accomplishing the stated goal

I suspect that if no probabilistic process could pass a Turing test, it would not be accomplishing its stated goal either.

People want to separate the “magic” of human cognition from other processes, but fail to consider the likelihood that no such magic exists.
People discuss with each other. Someone from social sciences could probably back me up but out of my ass it'd prob. be enough to each 1/4 of people (likely less) and it'd eventually spread to everyone through word-of-mouth.

> modern day equivalent of a nuclear scientist

So a nuclear scientist...?
It does a good impression.

But unrelated to chatGPT, what irks me about this line of reasoning is that it makes a special something, "true understanding", to be almost by definition reserved for humans. It's something beyond AI. Just like the "hard problem" of consciousness, which is too "hard" for science, says right there in the name it's supposed to be impossible. Dualism also has something too special, "the spirit", that could not be explained by the material.

It's the same dualist bug returning again and again.
Maybe it's embarrassing to interview a guy from down the street instead of a professor at Columbia, or have anecdotes from the local supermarket instead of a brownstone on the Upper East Side.

I think it's about as big a breakthrough as that "wormhole" they made with a quantum computer. That is, 99% hype.

What you’ve described sounds eerily like negligent mismanagement, possibly embezzlement. To avoid liability yourself, you may want to put a note into the authorities.
Completely irrelevant and MDN is infuriatingly “wrong.”

1px is not 1 physical pixel anywhere anymore. It’s just a “base unit” that we all agreed on decades ago. It could be 4 display pixels, it could be 9, it could be fractional if your monitor is downsampling it. It could be thousands if you zoom in. Heck, with PentTile matrix the pixel is never even “1 rgb pixel”

Also 1px is a digital unit and as such it does not have an “inch” equivalent, as much as designers like to insist that it does. Maybe it comes into play when you print pages, but even then the browser and the user can change the scale, so 1/96th of 1 inch is basically trivia at this point and should never be talked about in the context of “browsing the web”, even if it’s part of the CSS spec.
Ironic that libera's governance was set up under a similar spirit.

Though frankly if Andrew Lee had ghosted freenode entirely that would've been a vast improvement overr what actually happened.
As a proponent of free speech, I strongly believe that people should be able to express their opinions without fear of censorship or retribution. However, I also think it's important to recognise that there are limits to free speech, and that moderation is necessary in order to protect the rights and safety of others.

For example, it's one thing to express a controversial or unpopular opinion, but it's quite another to engage in hate speech, incite violence, post SPAM, excessive use of straw-man arguments, countering scientific consensus with harmful conspiracy theories, et al. In these cases, allowing such speech to go unchecked can have harmful consequences, and it's important for society to have mechanisms in place to address these issues.

Free speech is important to balance a strong democracy but its not an absolute right. Moderation in free speech is necessary in order to balance the rights of individuals to express themselves with the need to protect the rights and safety of others. Without moderation, the right to free speech can become a license to cause harm and to silence the voices of others.

I just checked my Uber history from the one time I was in Seattle earlier this year for work.

It was $57 including a bunch of fees and a 7.49 tip and the receipt claims that “driver compensation” was $39.22 including the tip. That was about a 16 mile drive to the airport.

My Uber charge home from the Atlanta airport which was about 50 miles was $115.

And I guess Uber is not forced to itemize outside of Washington

if your hash table is a really good modern open addressed hash table, something like Google's Swiss Tables, you need a really good hash because you will be badly penalised otherwise, these modern structures demand a hash with proper behaviour for even halfway reasonable performance.

If it's just a My First Hash table with closed addressing, buckets etc. you needn't care too much. If you're hashing integers, just use the integer itself, that's a terrible "hash" but with this like 1980s data structure it's good enough.
I have a CalDigit mini Thunderbolt 3 dock that provides two DisplayPort ports, a 1 Gbps Ethernet port, and a USB (2? I forget) port. I use it to connect two WQHD monitors, Ethernet, and a wired mouse.

It's a real crapshoot whether the dock will properly or fully connect upon cold startup or reboot. Sometimes everything is dead. Sometimes the monitors get signal but Ethernet and the mouse are down. Sometimes only the mouse is down; very occasionally, only Ethernet is down.

About a year ago, I spent multiple hours on the phone in a looong call with a CalDigit support rep. Essentially, we used my system to troubleshoot. We never solved the problem.

With time and observation, I've learned it's best to cold boot (with power connected, my daily work configuration) with this CalDigit Thunderbolt dock physically disconnected. After Windows has booted and gotten to its desktop, I then wait 90 - 100 seconds or a bit longer before I plug in the dock. Doing this, my success at having everything come up working is 50% or even a bit more.

If dock isn't fully functional, repeated warm rebooting is not too likely to correct this. The best bet is to hard shutdown, maybe wait a bit for whatever capacitors to discharge, and then start the above procedure over.

The CalDigit rep thought it was maybe the Thunderbolt support/configuration in my X1C6 that was/is to blame, but I have since formed the impression that Thunderbolt, for all its vaunted power, is actually kind of a shitshow.

The X1C6 did initially have a problem: It rewrote its Thunderbolt configuration upon every boot, into a kind of physically memory not designed to have a lifespan of that many writes. About a year, as I understand it, was what it took for many users to start having problems. Lenovo did eventually ship a firmware update to stop this behavior, and through circumstances I'll skip I ended up de facto avoiding the problem. My point in mentioning this being, maybe the X1C6's Thunderbolt support is still/also borked in some manner that causes my problem with the CalDigit dock.

But, I'm not too convinced of this. And I suspect CalDigit is using the same chipset that many other brands are using for similar docks.

For all the premium they charge for it, Thunderbolt designers/implementors should... be induced to provide a better result. IMHO.

> The ruling did not address some of the most controversial aspects of the raid, such as the FBI’s attempt to confiscate assets from box holders on the presumption they were criminals, even in cases where agents had no evidence to validate their suspicions.

This seems like the most salient issue so that's rather unfortunate.

> “Unfortunately for plaintiffs, the mere presence of such a motive is not by itself enough,” he wrote, citing a U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in another search and seizure case. “An impermissible investigatory motive must be the only reason the agents conducted the inventory.”

This would seem to almost give carte blanche to craft warrants on the flimsiest means possible and then wildly overstep the original scope of investigation.
This isn’t correct. Fentanyl is definitely a pleasurable drug just like heroin, morphine, oxycodone.

Users often have preferences for which is most pleasurable, but nobody would say fentanyl doesn’t get you high.
To my mind though this is only half the question. Let's assume that every company goes from 100 to 5 engineers - I could see that. But today, almost every company (aside from behemoths like FB, Google, etc) are engineer starved - they'd like to do so much more, but they don't have enough engineering manpower. One possibility is that, yes, engineers become much less in demand. But there's another possibility where the number of companies explodes because the amount of software that can be built is no longer bottlenecked on the number of engineers you can hire.
size_t need only be large enough to cover the (virtual) address space. It's up to hardware and OS to decide how much addressable space you get. I believe current systems can use only the low 48 bits of 64-bit pointers. However that number is likely to be increased in the future and OSes would be unwise to define size_t as something smaller than 64 bits.
