The times we live in, utterly bizarre.

Pre-internet, one would rarely be exposed to ideas that are extreme, unhinged, insane or downright weird. It would still happen but in moderation, for which I'll use the stereotype "village idiot". A village idiot is isolated for having off-base ideas and behavior, hence bad ideas don't take root.

Now it's as if all the village idiots of the world had a meeting and started to run society, at least culturally. The bad ideas and behaviors are not kept in check, they're rewarded, leading to the normalization of things deeply questionable.

Imagine being a youngster right now. You do as your peers do, you live online. Where insanity is your mainstream cultural input. Where mental illness, a very serious issue, is seemingly rewarded for oppression points. Where you might question your gender, where before this very idea didn't even occur to you. Where you're confused between body types, from anorexic to celebrating obesity. The normalization of the hating of the other sex. Or the other political half. Or an entire race. Or an entire class. Or anybody that doesn't agree with you. The normalization of doxxing, snitching, gossiping and cancel culture as "conversation" tools. The sheer volume of it. The pointless status games.

Comparing social media to smoking is a comparison that needs re-evaluating. It's frankly shocking how this untold harm goes unchecked. Then again, intervening can lead to creepy authoritarian legislation. As seen in China, but let's at least credit them for recognizing the harm.
"Acceptance of things" operates like any other social contagion.

If nobody else is really that fussed about it, why should you be?

Intel's Intrinsics Guide is exactly what I used and it was before I learned about Compiler Explorer.

I already had a large and thorough suite of unit tests for inputs and expected outputs, including happy and sad paths. So it was pretty easy to poke around and learn what works, what doesn't.

It was definitely time intensive (took about three months for about 50 lines of code) but it also saved the company a few million dollars in hardware (DNA analysis software to compare a couple TiB of data requires a _lot_ of performance). I have since moved to a different company, partly because I never saw a bonus for saving all that money.

The intrinsics guide does good to show what's available but it does not do a good job of documenting how each instruction actually works... many intrinsics are missing pseudocode and some pseudocode can have ambiguous cases. I used GDB in assembly mode to compare that table against the register content instruction-by-instruction to figure out where I misunderstood something if something went awry.

Frustratingly, some operations are available in 64-bits but not bigger, some in 128-bits but not bigger, etc. So I wrote up a rough draft in LibreOffice Calc with 64, 128, and 256 columns to follow the bits around every intended operation. I then correlated against the intrinsics guide to determine what instructions are available to me in what bit sizes. For a given test run, each row in the spreadsheet was colored by what the original data contained, another row for what I needed the answer to be for that test case, then auto-color another row's cell green or red if the register after a candidate set of instructions did or didn't match the desired output. Any time I had to move columns around (the data was 4-bits wide), I'd color a set of 4 columns to follow where they go during swizzling.
They write 'people with FND have a condition that cannot be medically explained' as though it's just insufficient research, not understood yet. 'FND' is just polite for 'all in your head'. This article reads like 'they're being treated with a drug called Placebo'.
What was the cost to Ford for killing over 500 people? Money?
This is a tangent, but about your last point, I wonder how humans will handle this once we’ve had many decamillennia of extremely well documented history, so that the human patterns have repeated over and over and over so much that there’s no illusion of progress in human nature anymore.

(Of course, it’s possible that we’ll end up modifying ourselves by e.g. genetic means so that this won’t really be happening.)

The One Big Reason to Learn Google's Go Language [video]
:)

For prior art, see what happened to Aereo. A little-known fact is that YouTube TV started with the exact same strategy. But Google, of course, had more money and lawyers to get over the hump.
There absolutely is a ton hidden. Your ASTM A992 structural steel W-beam (wide I beam) or S-beam (standard I-beam) is abstracting a ton of details with regards to:

- the construction process.

- material composition.

- thicknesses of the flange.

- width of the flange.

- depth/height.

- max length.

- shear strength.

- tensile strength.

- elongation (stretch/sag when approaching the point of failure).

- corrosion resistance.

- tolerances.

- cost per foot.

And the list only goes on.

A structural engineer can say "I have a specific structure in mind and need a beam that can withstand XYZ conditions" and pick out the matching beam from a table without considering any of the details as to how one would actually achieve those properties and withstand those conditions.

Alternatively an engineer can know their budget, what grade of steel, and what size of beam they want to use ahead of time and simply design a structure using those abstracted pieces in coordination with the architect.

Beams and other construction elements are the structural engineer's equivalent of a Hardware Abstraction Layer (coming from the perspective of an engineer who works close to the metal when I can). It lets the engineer abstract most of the minutiae regarding working with the hardware itself by giving the engineer a largely uniform interface for choosing how their product interacts with the world. Generally the abstraction holds but sometimes it's leaky and details show through. Likewise sometimes the abstraction is insufficient and the engineer has to do some custom work that breaks away from the established path to meet the constraints.
That's the kind of attacker model I wouldn't invite in the first place!

But more seriously: I've never fully understood why this is such a common issue with cryptocurrencies. My understanding of how Bitcoin works is that you need to actually submit your transaction for inclusion in a block, meaning that you have ample opportunity to verify the transaction's correctness before offering it for submission. Why aren't hardware wallets encouraging that?
Might as well read the rebuttal, as well, for balance: https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2017/10/17/misunderstood-ca...

TL;DR: Sure, the Pinto was unsafe, but that was not exactly unusual for small cars in the 70s.
Yes. Whenever I work on a "serverless" app, I spend more time messing around with IAC tools like Terraform than I do writing actual application code. It's sad.

Resulting to insults doesn't makes conversations more interesting nor do they convince anyone.

When Wikipedia is asking for donations to keep the servers running then people expect more than 2% of the donations will go to that purpose. If they asked for donations to operate and pay wages to the foundation then they a perfectly free to do so and people wouldn't call them out as much when 49% is taken out as wages.
Very often the PR is designed to bury the lede. Third party sources typically highlight whatever is in the company's interest to bury.

I'm not saying that was the case here, because I didn't read the articles. However, the pattern is so close to universal that it wouldn't be surprising.
This might be another post once I'm done but in total I was in contact with 51 companies. Most contacted me, and a bunch I reached out to. I'm tracking everything in Notion but I think about 10-15% didn't get back to me, most moved onto a first round and then what happened after that varies. I stopped the process on about eight of them after I had four companies I was interested in. I'm now at three offers and the forth backed out because someone else accepted the offer while they were putting mine together. Pretty good run though.
I think it's more that Linux root stores date from an era when everyone approached CA trust as a binary thing (even browsers), and there has never been enough pressure and coordination to evolve them into a more complex system, unlike browsers. My memory is that browsers added conditional distrust and conditional limits on CAs and various similar things when they became convinced that it would be too bad of a user experience to simply remove CAs but also too dangerous to retain them in fully empowered form. Having conditional distrust also gave browsers more power over CAs, because now browsers had more options for dealing with marginal but (semi-)popular ones.

Game is too hard for me to figure out, so I bought it and got my 12 year old into playing it today. Then he can teach it to me. Such is the way of the Generations.
That makes it sound like it's intentional.

I always thought it's just that there are things that you, personally, find weird and there are things you don't, and that it's heavily based on your upbringing, and because your neighbor will have a similar upbringing, both of you find the same things weird. When you hang with your neighbor, you will naturally shit on weird things, as we all like to do. A group of people automatically make up a society and so your society finds the exact same things weird and shits on the same things.

And at no point in the process did you have any individuality or real thought in the matter -- usually at least. Society created your identity and you simply promote it. Over time, opinions change because things happen to society collectively, but it's a slow process.
I don't think the cost is the barrier they're discussing here.
By the way, the HiSOFT that created DevPac 4 (assembler/debugger) for the ZX Spectrum is still around. According to their about page they now build websites?!? https://www.hisoft.co.uk/
This is the exact type of question that tricks those with more nuanced knowledge but doesn't trick those that memorize textbook answers. I'm not sure we should be encouraging this type of learning, despite it being how a lot of standardized testing questions work.
Nice.

So it was producing an error on every attempt. I will try again.

My bigger point is the limits of statistical learning. What if you asked it again in the same session will it include SIDS? I can't try right now, ChatGPT is not responding.

How about in a different session? Will it include it? (obviously not, since it's training is not continual)

Also, what if you asked it something with fewer possibilities? like list all the ways encrypted TLS traffic on the Internet can be captured by attackers. In my case, when I tried that, it left out quite a few ways, one was BGP attacks. But there are only so many known ways for an attacker to capture TLS traffic, unlike ways of dying.

There is a limitation to statistical learning. It's not ontological and it's not epistemological. It's purely statistical.

That's what I'm getting at. The fact that it crashed at the right moment was funny, but in retrospect coincidental.
I didn't think it was, but I'm learning here it's at least a lot more common than I imagined!
Disclaimer: I’m arguing to flesh out my thoughts more than disagreeing with you.

OK, but then if I saw a video of Brownian motion which is for all intents and purposes time–reversible, should I conclude the time is in fact not moving forward?

Maybe another way to phrase the question: at the end of the universe when entropy has reached its highest state, does the time dimension of the universe disappear?

If you broke your limbs riding a 200cc scooter, a 40mph tricycle would kill you. There's a reason this thing is limited to 15mph, it's extremely likely to flip and land on top of you.

And.. what's taking so long? We are not talking about some custom-made part to fix some frame defect or another. Rim strips and tires are plentiful. They could pay neighborhood bike shops a flat fee to get this recall out of the way for their customers.
My annoyance is with the articles presentation. It leads to the kind of analogies that you're making. I think the most clarifying thought I've had is that people (and the article) are imagining that Neuralink is doing a clinical trial. Instead, they're developing at least 5 different bleeding edge technologies which are the needed precursor for making the device that one day might lead to a clinical trial. Imagine 5 teams with dozens of people working on different pieces that each require multiple rounds of in vivo testing. 1000 rodents in 4 years with 200 people all working independently is not particularly wild.

And to clarify, "they don't know the number" is not accurate. Rather, the USDA requires exact reporting of the number of Animal Welfare Act protected animals (non rodents) and round numbers of rodents. These are published by the USDA. Neuralink may also report precise numbers as part of their annual report to NIH or AALAC, but these are not public.

My frustration is that this is the scale of a small university's (like mine) research, and it's a shame to have actual mistakes linked to context-less numbers to make the situation appear bad.
This Fairy Tale Does Not Exist
There's a neat trick you can do with songs that don't have much reverb. If you load a track. Clone the channel into a second one and then just "flip" the wave form it will remove all the vocals.

Not perfect but it's pretty damn good.
I can think of another social contagion that’s exploded in the last 5 years. However, those that have it are above all criticism except in TERF spaces.
They probably have an internal repo which gets the commits first, then synced to github.
For sure HN articles don't need to be unbiased, but corporate press releases are particularly soggy and misleading. I'm sure there are exceptions but boy are they rare, especially as company size grows.
The point is that ad block is not among the barriers you need to overcome.
Baseband exploits are as devastating as they are because at least until a few years ago, they've had full SoC memory access and as a result more privileges than even the operating system running on the SoC.

Treating the baseband more like a peripheral device and less as a coprocessor can prevent against much of this attack surface.

That said, just adding Bluetooth (even given a perfectly isolated stack) opens several unnecessary attack vectors, including a MITM between the wallet and the device driving it. This could be used to e.g. subtly modify destination addresses or transfer amounts.
But words are just, like, socially-defined metaphysical constructs that only occasionally and coincidentally overlap with physical reality, man.
Where I am, it's illegal for bicyclists to ride on the sidewalk, so you're left with a couple of feet of space beyond the white line, in the unprotected shoulder, with a speed difference of around 30mph, and often a curb to make sure you eat it if you're pushed beyond. With the number of people I've seen weave into the shoulder, biking being the default would be a blood bath.
I bought a used RadRunner. The disc brakes are prone to warping especially if you transport your bike and lay it on its side. Try not to put excessive weight on the discs. I just fix mine using pliers and manually bending back or forward the warp parts of the disc. It's quite simple and YouTube explains it well.

I did replace the front fork because the previous one was bent. I think this happens when you're going 20mph and hit a curb or sharp bump. Replacement part was $60.

Kickstand spring broke and Rad gave me another for $1 along with nuts and bolts that were missing from the previous owner.

Electric motor and battery is doing fine. I purchased another battery for long rides. Because Rad is so popular there are great/cheap OEM options that other e-bike manufacturers don't have.

I think for the price Rad is amazing if you're willing to tinker with it occasionally.
I am not some "ancient aliens" kook, but many comments above seem to overlook the fact that until relatively recently we thought that people 10k years ago, world wide, were fresh out of caves/hunter-gathers and some of the more brighter ones were starting to farm and do animal husbandry. Then, Göbekli Tepe is unearthed and it is obvious that, as you say, that shit did not happen one day with just some super talented hunter-gatherer having an artistic streak. I do not understand why academics think all people on Earth were always at the same technological level at the same time. Add to that that most things (wood, iron, basically anything other than hard rock) disappear pretty quickly in large timescales and it gets really murky to think about and archaeologists in particular seem to become outraged at anything that isn't currently in vogue.
It also has a cost element. The cost part has flattened, but the scaling part has continued all the way to 3nm for logic.
Yeah, but you are still informed of, and sign agreement to the diagnostic fee.

They also won't charge you a diagnostic fee if they know ahead of time that it is a service they won't provide like in the example. If I somehow end up at the tire shop for an AC service, they don't send me a bill 6 months later for an arbitrary amount just because they had to tell me that I need to go to the shop down the road for my issue.

I don't live in the states anymore, but I genuinely don't understand how any of this is legal. If I started sending out invoices to every client months later for services that they didn't know they were getting, with arbitrary prices, sometimes with egregious errors on them, I would expect a knock on the door from the authorities.
> There are tens of thousands of procedure and drug codes (things that are done or given) and tens of thousands of diagnostic codes (reasons justifying the procedure), creating a space well into the quadrillions of possible routine combinations.

10^5 * 10^5 = 10^10 which is tens of billions, not quadrillions

That said, a combinatorial space can be simply represented as a tuple of two columns (10^5, 10^5) instead of having to map every possible (including nonsensical) permutation.

As an independent nation Ukraine committed actual genocide against other ethnic religious population within its borders at least 3 times. 2 of them during the 20th century.
Ukraine never acknowledged those, neither took responsibility, nor expressed any form of regret.
If you think Ukraine is morally any better than Russia than you know no history.
While very much against the invasion of Russia into Ukraine, Ukrainians should not be helped until they express genuine repentance for their historic crimes.
Although admins have gotten out of hand, I think the classism "only the untouchables should handle bins" to be absolutely abhorrent. In my culture, we don't take kindly to that old world caste mentality.
That's all it is. These EDA transformation journey blog posts are de rigeur for any company looking to have its engineering culture perceived in a modern light, at least in the eyes of a junior-to-intermediate developer.
That is true, and it definitely makes the solution suboptimal. I mean here I am defending the sort of websites that in HN's context mostly count as crap. That's bound to have downsides. The defense is extremely targeted to this one scenario though.
It's been a while since I've played with it, but there's also Expressive Animator. I think it used to be FOSS, but isn't anymore. It looks like it has a monthly subscription for Pro now (Lottie exports). About the same price as Adobe, which is a shame.

It's an Underwood 315, made by Olivetti … looks like '70s. No problems yet. Luckily in excellent condition, and it was refurbished by a shop before I purchased it. One thing that surprises me: no exclamation mark/point. Another is that there is no "one" key – you use a lowercase "el" for that.
> it’s such a niche area of expertise.

It is that! As I stated in another comment, this niche ended up saving the company literally millions of dollars in hardware costs. To be fair, it really should only be done in highly performance-critical situations and only after an initial implementation is already written in pure C++ with thorough unit testing for _all_ input/output cases.

My point is that when a highwayman says "your money or your life" we call it a crime. He gets lots of money because those are the choices. But those are the choices which, in the USA, pharma and other medical professionals offer. They can charge enormous amounts because these are the conditions. Does it cost a lot to develop drugs? Sure. But the profits more than cover the costs. Obviously. This market sector is hugely profitable. Other people who solve difficult problems where their potential customer isn't desperate cannot achieve equivalent profits.

If you work in medicine you have lots of ways to wash your conscience. Medical school is hard and expensive! You are saving lives! But in the end you can charge the rates you charge because your customer is desperate (to say nothing of the information asymmetry, the cost and difficulty of seeking a second opinion, etc.). There is a huge market failure here and that is the source of your enormous profit.

There are many alternative ways to achieve the same end without the market failure fleecing the unfortunate in the middle. Offer bounties for medical breakthroughs. Finance healthcare as a public good. This will reduce the rate of improvement in medical science because the payoff for breakthroughs will be less. Maybe this is the wrong way to go about it. But I'd rather take my chances with a less broken medical system. I've been fleeced many times in my life by the US healthcare system. If I have to sacrifice my well being for some cause, there are others I'd prefer. Will innovations slow if the US stops being a patsy? Yes. But I'd just like access to the medicine we already have.
What's unethical is saying you'll do something and then not doing that.

In your example, the "ethical" way to violate a non-compete is to redact it from the original contract.

I'm not saying you're the worst person ever, but littering is unethical, and so is saying you'll do something and then not doing it (or vice versa).
I periodically wonder whether Itanium or even the Pentium 4 would have been more successful had Intel released icc under an open source license. I’m assuming that they were trying to keep AMD from using it but I’m still not sure it was worth it from the number of times I knew scientists to avoid it because it was hard to share.
I’m really pleased to get a local rebuttal. The conversation I spoke of happened a little over a decade ago and I’ve been curious ever since if it was a momentary perspective or a longer term trend. Did you see anything around 10 years ago that would agree with my cab driver’s thesis or was he off base then as well?
