I would think "A" is a good way to proceed. This might be a silly question, but I wonder how it affects us if we send this reminder message to everyone versus just the people in our sample who we know have not responded yet. I know that maybe some of the people who did previously respond might get confused and possibly try to respond again. I would be interested in seeing if they update their answers or if they stay consistent. Any statistical insights on this?

EDIT: I thought about this some more and considered that sending out a reminder message to everyone may be akin to starting a new survey using a non-random sample. But by reaching out to just nonrespondents, maybe it’s okay.
> So you are saying that by some crypto-magic it is technically impossible for groups which collectively own more than 2/3 the coins to create enough nodes to dominate the protocol?

Yes, that's exactly what I am saying. Not because of "crypto-magic", but because that is not how PoS works. Stakers have no control over the protocol. Their stake only gives them the benefit of validating and producing blocks and collecting rewards for it.

> But my bet is that you are dismissing the threat of whales splitting their holdings to maximize their influence. Don’t know why though.

You mean "joining their holdings", in order to achieve 2/3 of the staked capital?

If so, the threat is possible but incredibly stupid. There is more than 10M Ether locked in the staking contract. This means that they would have to control two-thirds of the tokens (that they do not have, which means that they will have to go to the market and shoot the price up). And even if they did get to collectively have that much, they would be willing to risk losing it all on an attack that (a) could be easily detected (b) would have to entail a single profitable operation that is more profitable than the current stake they are holding and (c) would lead to people losing faith in the ecosystem and consequently plunging the value of the token they have at stake and, worst of all, (d) if needed be, could still be remedied with an irregular state change like the DAO hack was.

IOW, even though such an attack is theoretically possible, in practice "malicious whales" could do nothing but bring a major inconvenience to the thousands of the developers, and they would have to spend ~$7B for it.
This looks pretty nice. It's very similar to the for/fold macro in racket [1], which is indeed super handy.

If it’s being used for evaluation, then there should be a “correct” (or “best”) answer. If it’s not used for evaluation, then I’d probably be more confused than enlightened by a multiple choice question with no best answer, and prefer it phrased as a discussion question or similar.

"Canadian man claims assisted suicide is being pushed on him by hospital" https://nypost.com/2022/11/08/canadian-man-assisted-suicide-...
Not sure how you came away with that conclusion. It's the exact opposite.

In a culture where sexism is more common, casual sexism will not stand out at all. The average guy will not appear more attractive. In a culture where sexism is largely frowned upon, being sexist but not too sexist is an act that stands out. A man who is either not sufficiently sexist or is silently sexist (for fear of repercussion) will appear average, because that category describes the average man. The man who is only slightly sexist and is just charming and good looking enough will win out because being sexist in front of a woman is the polar opposite of lacking confidence or placing the woman on a pedestal. They reside in a cozy region between the silent/supplicant majority of men and the ones who are either disgustingly sexist or are too physically unattractive to make up for saying something sexist.

No one's saying you or anyone have to like sexism. Being offensive in spite of blowback is a confidence move whether any individual finds it toxic or not.
It's an analogy, and a pretty straightforward one at that.
Their event driven infra has race condition exploits.
I do. There is local news on the radio that's hard to get anywhere else (OK, it's probably also broadcast via internet somewhere, but I'd rather not go through the hassle). It's also a inoffensive way to lessen the monotony when working in jobs dealing with the public (ie, minding a shop).
Yeah, if the compiler runs out of registers it will do this - it's better than spilling the constant to memory. Register allocation is one thing that compilers are still much worse at than humans, and you see it in SIMD code a lot.
Yes they are. They’re beholden to whatever your event loop is.

they’re being told when to draw (hence the immediate), so if you suddenly have computation on the same thread that’s blocking OR your thread gets deprioritized , you’ll get stutters.

Immediate mode UIs aren’t very suitable for mobile use though. They don’t have great consideration for battery efficiency, unless you introduce a retained backing of some kind. They’re also not great for accessibility, though that’s mostly just because they’re not native.
From https://docs.foundationdevices.com/en/faqs:

> Like Coldcard, the Bitcoin private keys are encrypted on the processor and stored on the secure element

And from https://coldcard.com/docs/faq:

> The ATECC608 is a fixed-function device for private key storage. [...] To be able to read the secrets (ie. wallet seed) out of the secure
element [...]

Finally, you can apparently just display it in the "advanced" menu: https://coldcard.com/docs/advanced

So it seems to me like the secure element limits PIN attempts, but when successfully enter it, the keys are indeed exposed to the main processor.

I have two ISPs, one dedicated for work. Dedicated switches, wiring,etc... never use wifi or bluetooth, try to disable them until the OS turns them back on.

If someone is looking at all your private devices, etc...at work it's someone like me lol. Arp table on your pc collects the macs of everything in that LAN. Now, I don't care about that but seeing my own devices log that and my IP and evey USB drive and knowing how many people, devices and companies have/process that information is what led me to those precautions. It's also standard practice to look at all the SSIDs you've connected to or sometimes USB pid/vid inserted before file writes when doing foresnsic investigations (usuallu happens when you're suspected of being naughty or simply because of a special/sensitive role you hold)

When it comes to personal devices, USBs are the ones I have to track down a lot because of worms and all mostly. But I have ran into people that mount smb shares or whatever to a device in their personal lan that has all sorts of malware infested pirated shit (I just get them to stop connecting it).

Also, urmmm... how can I put it? There are some really terrible people out there including people that may or may not work at your company's IT/sec/mgmt.

YMMV -- I know what I've seen :(
The plea for sports on the moon we didn't know we needed. It's a good departure from some of the usual ideas around Moon bases. Create a mainstream event around moon sports, fun and absurd enough to catch billions of eyeballs and drive revenue for future exploitation of the whole satellite. Brilliant.
A long time ago my fastmail.us didn't get accepted in places but I can't say I've had problems with that in recent years. Never had a issue with my me, I think people are well aware of the new tlds now.

As an extra bit of authenticity I've been smime signing my sent mail. Not encrypting, just signed. I figure that something no spamer is going to do and I’m hoping any spam filter will look at and pass it. Assuming they don't ignore it and make it a waste of time.
Well, I mean really most of the micro service architectures are just monoliths with network calls between the components.
Go is mostly devoid of this. The general approach is all stdlib and the idle extra dependency. Of course, a lot of fields are inaccessible.

Lisp can enable fantastic development speed allowing you to build your own primitives. Racket's ecosystem's all high quality too.

I believe Julia has a less buggy ecosystem allowing you to pipe together natively written ML things, as opposed to Python's dumpster fire ecosystem

I think youre missing several inputs into your feedback loop. The original statement about the US system bearing the brunt of development stands. It's also true that insurers influence the market. Both are true. There are also government inputs into the market, political inputs a d supply chain elements that all feed into this. The one stakeholder will little real input in the end consumer who gets stuck paying whatever the others have decided they'll allow...

How about the Columbia? Average discharge is 265,000 cfs, which has been pretty consistent over the past 100+ years.[1] That's approximately 200 million acre feet just flowing into the Pacific every year.

For comparison, the Phoenix metro area uses 2.3 million acre feet of water per year (40% of which is used in agriculture).[2] So a bit over 1% of the Columbia's annual flow.

Another comparison: the Colorado "in its natural state" averaged just 22,500 cfs, less than 10% of the Columbia.[3]

I'm not saying that piping water from Oregon to the southwest is a good idea, but it's not as if we don't have water in the west. It's just a lot further north than most of the population centers.

> all things have a cost

Yes, and it's not a simple matter to estimate those costs, let alone any point where a cost reaches the threshold of evolutionary pressure. There are plenty of examples in nature of things that are inefficient and suboptimal but the pressure to remove them is lacking. Or, there is an unseen benefit to things that seem to be "bad" that 21st century humans haven't figured out yet.

In theory, everything has a cost, just as the First Law of thermodynamics suggests that energy is conserved, even though in the real world neither energy or mass are conserved, making it much more complicated if not impractical to make predictions from alone. On the flip side, all matter has the added factor (substituting cost) of gravitation, which one might assume to always matter to some degree, yet it's so inconsequential at the molecular level that it's basically not even factored into most chemistry. My point being that whether we are capable to actually determine whether anything is a meaningful cost on a system is dubious.

> Taboos and traditions may not _seem_ to have purpose

And that could be a result of them actually having no purpose, but consequently having an effect that manages to allow them to survive and propagate.

> We evolved from apes; taboos and traditions are just remnants of our collective unconscious, and are just unneeded artifacts we will grow out of as technology and modernity progress.

Amazon likely sells their hardware below cost and hopes to make it up in orders using Alexa. From reports that didn’t seem to be adding up.

Apple’s strategy is different where Siri is a convenience feature for the devices that they sell for a premium. I doubt that Apple has invested anywhere close to $10B in Siri.

We haven’t heard of Google is bleeding to the degree that Amazon is on the Google assistant. I suspect not.

That "lim n->inf" is doing a lot of work there.

Yes, this is indeed a known limitation.

So the other day, chatGPT was doing a great job acting as a trivia quizmaster for me when it casually threw out the 'fact' that Pope Francis was the first South American to be elected pope, and that he served in the role from 2013 until his death in 2017. (For the avoidance of doubt: Pope Francis is still alive).

I think we can all understand how that sort of thing counts as 'plausible sounding but incorrect'.

What I think is surprising is that 'plausible sounding but incorrect' can also encompass 'rich and internally consistent novel programming language semantics with fully worked examples of applications, and rich explanations of how they work'.
There's the Mylo etrike, which has a tadpole design (two front wheels), so it's far less likely to tip over than a delta style (two rear wheels). Unfortunately it doesn't have any pedals, so not sure if that's street legal in the EU (also unfortunate if the battery dies, though you can attach two batteries to it.) If I hadn't already bought an ebike earlier this year (not knowing about the Mylo etrike), I'd probably consider it though, as it folds up nicely, can carry a passenger, and seems a lot less likely to tip over (straights or turns) than a regular ebike. Hopefully with Rad making etrikes now, they'll consider something like that but with pedals in the future.

For me, it made up software packages to do what I needed to do.

I also tried to have it generate some 6502 assembly to multiply two numbers and generated an iterative add approach that failed to do any adds. So I informed it that it forgot to add and it realized it's mistake and corrected the code.

I tried to get it to optimize further and it generated some code using shifts that I really need to double check. It also generated a table-based method that was woefully incomplete. As I continued to get it to correct the table function, it was clear it didn't really understand 6502 assembly that well.

But I've pasted large block of C# code and then gave it sample data and it understood the code well enough to generate the correct results of the code.
Since this is just a troll, I'll post this here too. I asked chatgpt "Given the types of people who use Hacker News, write 5 questions intended to troll HN."

Here are five questions that could potentially be used to troll Hacker News users:

"Why do you all use Macs even though they're overpriced and underpowered?"
"Is it true that all programmers are basement-dwelling neckbeards?"
"Why do tech companies have such a diversity problem, and why isn't anyone doing anything about it?"
"Why do startups always fail, and why do investors keep throwing money at them?"
"Why do software engineers get paid so much even though their job is basically just typing on a keyboard?"

These questions are designed to be inflammatory and controversial, and could potentially provoke strong reactions from Hacker News users. They are intended to be provocative and to challenge commonly-held beliefs and assumptions about the tech industry and its culture.
That would be a pretty ignorant ethics board then, given that pure nicotine at normal doses has few side effects, and unless combined with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (as it is in tobacco) isn't particularly addictive.

Hello HN! This is one of my first attempts at long-form writing based on a project I recently completed. I had to do a lot of research to make this implementation work.

I'd like to get feedback on my writing style, my teaching style, and the correctness of my examples. I love writing, and love that the internet enables anyone to write about and share what they have learned.

Thank you!
Check if the 90 received confirms or is in conflict with the findings your boss wants to see.
The real problem is that SRAM get 20% density increase where transistors get 75%. Compound over a few generations and your chip area is all cache. Some foundry should focus just on that problem. Then recombine in package will the way to go.

I sprayed my old Caprice with a matte black primer. It looked awesome with the chrome trim. I got a few compliments on that. I wish I would have sprayed a matte/satin clear sealer on it instead of paint.
All good, and thanks for the clarification.
It's a weird comparison.

Escorts sold fairly well compared to the Chrysler/GM competition IIRC (And that's speaking as a very happy former Saturn owner)[1]

Frankly, I'd blame Ford's discontinuation of compacts in the US more on their cognitive dissonance around the PowerShift than anything else.

People knew it was junk as far back as 2016. Rather than fix it, they stuck with their lie and tried to use the EcoSport as a nonsensical distraction.

To then cite 'declining sales' is IMO dishonest. OFC the sales declined, both you and the consumer knew the product was faulty.

It's worth stating that Saturn is the only brand I ever really really trusted, one of their techs warned me about the ignition switch issue 4+ years before it came to light.

[1] - I should also add, when Ford gets it right they get it right. I have a Maverick Hybrid and it is the perfect apology for the last A/T Focus, if only they could produce in reasonable numbers.
As the blog post says non-responders do tend to have different opinions on average than responders. Typically they do try to demographically determine who those non-responders are so they can adjust and increase the weight of that group proportionally to their limited response. This is how most polling works in the real world and it does provide better accuracy.
C. Use the 90 responses as a sample if it supports your intended conclusion. Start over otherwise.

Someone on HN once described this as the "toaster fucker problem" and I've thought about it this way ever since: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25667362
My snark was more directed about the hand wringing over ChatGPT, and the debates over whether its "fair" or not. To be honest, posts like that don't always do well on HN, I just thought ShartGPT was funny (I have young kids, I've been forced to find the funny in poop jokes). Your post being flagged may have saved mine, or blocked those precious internet-points from flowing my way - it's hard to tell.

For your specific post, I don't think grammar corrections do that well on HN in the first place - at best break even. I don't think they are usually actively flagged though. I don't personally care about grammar as long as I understand the point - but I generally don't downvote grammar corrections, they usually fall to the bottom anyways.

I would guess the extra adverse reaction to it was due to the over-abundance of ChatGPT everywhere and it invading every comment thread.

Beyond that, while its not exactly what you said, the idea of everyone who doesn't have perfect grammar filtering their thoughts through ChatGPT sounds a bit dystopian.
