I don't intend to be mean but this is technological fetishism. The HIDs that currently define the computer being talked about here are simply attempts to fit the device to the environment and purpose for which it is used. Screens, mouse, trackpad, keyboard are all simply the best we can do with current limitations. These limitations are felt more in some domains than in others. If your domain is writing then the typewriter does feel like a natural ideal for what a computer should be and a keyboard is a natural successor. If instead you are a 3D artist then the form of a typewriter becomes antithesis to how you want to interact with your computer and even the best peripheral options we have are inadequate.

I look forward to a time when the limitations of screen and keyboard are obsolete. When I can move freely through space and populate that space with shapes, images, text, scenes unbounded by tiny rectangles. Where I can interact with that overlay by conversing with it, touching it, wielding all manner of physical and virtual tools. I'll carefully place my old keyboard on the shelf beside the typewriter and will only take it down to use it from time to time out of nostalgia.
> x/2 + y/2 + (x & y & 0x01)

This returns -1 for x = INT_MIN and y = INT_MAX were the answer should be 0 (for an example). so not a correct solution
You benchmarked? On what platform? Training what? Can you link to this? Or are you just looking at theoretical? In my experience, for what the 3090 offers, it is not really an issue unless you start using birutificaiton.
This person admitted[1] to being the same person behind the Miya account. The posts made by that Miya account (they are public record, and has been archived since a long time by different accounts, see [2]) include :

- calls for the extermination of Jews

- calling homosexuality an "epidemic" and perversion

- saying that "since we gave vote to *** we should give to gorillas too"

- things like "a husband is to his wife what a parent is to their child"

- asking counsel for "mind controlling an egirl slave harem"

- boasting about bullying persons about their weight

How is that "close to reactionary" ? This is extremely grave behavior. I have friends that have suffered a lot from this community, have witnessed their posts myself at the time they were made, and I cannot even begin to comprehend how could someone call that "close to reactionary if your IQ is low [...]" and end that with "DYOR". It hurts a lot to see that comment, and it makes me feel extremely uneasy to see these posts, especially one on "I don't want to be an Internet person" upvoted to the front page of HN. I don't know how to describe it, but there's something really nasty going on here.

If you pin tabs, they'll be loaded on start and stay until you close them. Always in sight even if you have a lot of tabs. At least on Firefox.

It seems like this would almost perfectly act as a "predefined list of pages always open to the side, especially for real-time communication" or did I miss something? It won't be next to the page, but always visible at the top-left and kept between restarts.
min = x^((y^x)&-(y<x));
return min + ((y^x^min)-min)/2;

Still less efficient.

Author seems a little too close? For me, the big takeaway is how it represents the superficiality that happens here? Like, this whole thing wants to be genuinely cool/Gibson-ish, but I can't get over the banality of it all.

I was poking around some of the content and it's just so blah, in terms of how they're just taking a laundry list of every hot button issue and then asking, "okay, how can I troll it?" -- revealing no core underneath.
Then they should just test for that and make it a lottery for everyone over the bar. Anyone who's been to an elite university will tell you that a lot more people could handle it than are admitted.
When making DR recommendations I have straight up told my boss "Under current circumstances, if this happens, my plan is to quit". Then I tell him what I think needs to happen for me to feel good enough about it I wouldn't quit if that happened.

I'm now wondering what the state of the art is in grid-scale solar inverters and whether the firmware would allow you to black start without having to ring up Siemens.

Theoretically solar panels in a good place to do it: can output power without needing input power, can have several megawatts on a site, can match phase very easily, can potentially generate phase.

Admittedly you have to wait until the sun comes up, but in a true black start situation things are going to move slowly.

It’s sad you think this work is “half-baked.”

The reality is Apple will probably never release drivers for Linux or Windows (the latter of which ever again).

This work is the premier effort in its space and the reverse engineering skills required to accomplish it are exceptionally uncommon.

I doubt you could hire for this type of position remotely easily if you wanted to find the skillset for a corporate environment.
I agree there are other things that can go wrong, but the "two contracted gas turbine black start sources didn't work" problem does still seem like something that probably could have been avoided with regular testing?
I was surprised that the relationship between CO2 and GMST was so linear past around 1200AD. What's really weird is I don't see the expected acceleration due to the industrial revolution in the 1800s. The chart seems to imply its a function of population more than technology?
Your binary only really allows for the author to like "modern" (which should really be called "modernism" to accentuate its aesthetic name), or be depressed. But they could a) think it's ugly and b) responsible for the sense of alienation or discontent. They might believe that the aesthetic makes life worse without their life being depressingly bad, for instance.

Eh, this article really touches on nothing new and if I bothered I could find many others like in in the past X00 years based on people that dive head first into things and make it their lives. "I don't want to be 'religious fanatic group' person" , "I don't want to be 'music trend people", ad infinitum. It turns out that people that tend to focus on one subsection of culture are not well rounded and generally boring superficial people. Nothing about this has to do with the 'internet', it's just that HN is eating it up because the word internet is in it and many of us have a strange magical reverence to it.
At my previous job we used "microservices" for lack of a better term, but really they were "business services". We tried calling them "business services", "macroservices" or just "services", but it was confusing so in the end we just stuck with "microservices".

Uh-huh. Fascinating. Do go on.
yes. game piracy is huge and STEAM is even bigger. for once, people ACTIVELY use steam because of the multi-player community which is absent in pirated content. sure you can pirate a game and play offline but do you want to? so even pirates pay for that which makes gabeN the one person who ACTUALLY understands the whole thing...

It wouldn't produce an exception, it would not compile. The nice thing is that you can avoid range checking at runtime.

Exactly, Ada's modular types would be a good option in this case, if that is what you want (my feeling is, most likely not unless you are doing some low level stuff). An alternative would be to rewrite the for loop in a functional or range based style.

In algorithmic code, you almost never want overflow. If you have a little function to calculate something, you want the intermediate variables to be big enough to perform the calculation, and in the end you cast it down to the size needed (maybe the compiler can do it, but maybe you know from some mathematical principles that the number is in a certain range and do it manually). In any case, I would want to be warned by the compiler if I am:

1. loosing precision

2. performing a wrong calculation (overflowing)

3. accidentially loosing performance (using bignums when avoidable)

1 and 2 can happen in C if you are not careful. 3 could theoretically happen in Python I guess, but it handles the transition int <-> bignum transparently good enough so it was never an issue for me.
It used to be called EAR file.

tldr; Full results will not be published until February, but at the halfway point 86% of companies had said they intended to make it permanent.

They defined "four-day week" as 32 hours without a reduction in pay.

There is legislation pending [0] to allow any worker to ask for a 4 day work week which sounds very week as the company can just say 'no'. Even if this passes I don't think it means anything. However, the trial is promising and it'll be interesting to see where the UK goes with this.

The trick with ncdu is to install it BEFORE your disk gets full from some random error log going haywire.
C is an amazing language. If you want to integrate into another language via FFI you basically have 0 other options.

That being said, it’s too easy to do something wrong in C. The desire to use Rust isn’t because C is stale, rather it’s too hard to write C correctly.
> destroying people's trust in elections.

I don’t understand, do you think we should have blind trust in election, that there shouldn’t be partisan and independent observers, that security measures shouldn’t be scrutinized? And if we find a fault, we shouldn’t call for reforms. We should just “trust” the system?

No, this is not the same as denying the results without evidence. There is no equivalence here.

'Don't reinvent the wheel' is a big reason I've put off almost all side projects that I've wanted to do. Everything I've thought of, someone else has already written, and it's quite demoralising. I end up thinking, 'what's the point?'
I still can't believe their internal software was known to be so bad that it was causing people to be falsely arrested and the CTO's reaction wasn't immediately to make a corporate policy to not file anything with police until they got their act together.
Nonsense. If you want to seek out beautiful things, simply go to where they are. Don't look for them in a hyper-urban corporate hellscape and then act surprised when you don't find them.

Go to a park on a breezy spring day. Take a look at people playing with their dogs, their kids. A mother running after toddlers, father and son launching a kite in a big open field, deer grazing nearby in the brush. Look at it all and tell me it isn't eye-wateringly beautiful.
I wasn't trying to down play the engineering. It's going to be half baked because the developers don't have access to hardware documentation. When the next Apple chip comes out, it's back to square one. It's entirely Apple's fault.

Plus while they may be able to achieve good results, we'll never know if they took full advantage of the hardware or realized it to the full potential. Because it's proprietary.

I didn't know python could do that, that's pretty cool.

I gotta disagree on perl, though, even though it can represent numbers outside of the range of a double, it can't manipulate them without converting them into doubles.

Who Am AI, a celebrity guessing game using Stable Diffusion
I really liked how the page tells you the size it is planning to download, and prompts you before downloading.

Coming from a limited bandwidth contract, I hate when I click a link and it instantly starts downloading a huge file.

Great work OP!
Who Am aI is fun little game created after doing some experiments with stable diffusion. You are presented with a random generated person which consists of three different famous people and you're supposed to guess who they are.

It works by creating embeddings for three separate prompts and then combining the embeddings into a final embedding that is used for conditioning the image.
The Nosebridge Banned People List
The New Beetle came in quite a few retro colors, some of which were non-metallic paint, and a handful are identical to colors offered in the 70s (granted, modern paint methods are different)

I decided to go with some examples because I was familiar with them without having to look them up.
Some of Albert Speer's stuff is pretty cool. Certainly nowhere near the ugliness of anything Le Corbusier designed. Though it definitely does have a kind of austere bloodlessness that is also present in Italian Fascist architecture, sort of monumental yet dead.
Pike, Haskell.

Clojure makes a gesture toward it, literals are automatically promoted but the normal operators don't do it:

user=> (+ 1 9223372036854775807) ;; max signed int64
Execution error (ArithmeticException) at user/eval5 (REPL:1).
integer overflow
user=> (+ 1 9223372036854775808) ;; one higher

9223372036854775809N
As it's written, I see zero such implication. The author used the article 'a' instead of 'the.' There's your clue.

For a forum that is notoriously literal, I am surprised to see so many people interpret such a straightforward sentence in bad faith.
Typically Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with the jets pointed directly at Earth are referred to as Blazars. (https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8300/7754600044_e7635a1c8f.jp...)

But this event seems to be something a little different. Its a lot closer to us than a lot of blazars typically are, and the emission seems to infer a different source than is typically seens for blazars.

Quite an interesting paper, will be cool to see how this might change our understanding of AGN and accretion of matter onto such objects.
Heh, reminds me of this episode of Clarissa Knows it All when she has to admit her award winning poetry was generated by her computer and she got in trouble for it. Sounds like this is a question that's been asked by society for a looooong time. (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0542226/)
Moving to the US After YC: SF, NYC or Miami?
What a loss, we discussed so many times about compiler related subjects.

My sentiments and thoughts for the family and friends.
Baumol's cost disease is about wages of irreplaceable labor in general. It applies to stonemasonry as much as, e.g. haircuts.
Adding to this and using some every day examples.

Why are expensive "sports cars" almost always ugly (Bright yellow or neon green??).

One would think if you had that sort of money you would realize that a bright green car is tacky as F, but that is the point. To turn heads - this is why they bought the car in the first place.

Why are most cars not coloured like this - because it is ugly and most people don't drive a bright green "Honda civic" so people can look at them.

On the housing front almost every city has bylaws and restrictions on what you can and cant do. In the US you also have HOA's with even more restrictions.

As an example - I live in what was formerly a small village . In order to "preserve the heritage" of the area everything is architecturally controlled.

Developers always need to submit your plans for review, but this area is further restricted and has its own set of "rules" outlined in a 34 page document which is on top of the city guidelines.

So all the houses in this area look similar regardless of age by design. There are houses from the 1800's a few blocks away and my house which was built in 2000 fits in just fine from the exterior view. The interior is a different matter because it is not controlled and so it uses modern techniques like steel I-beams.
I think PyTorch will very soon catch up in performance once Apple Silicon gets properly supported. On x86, I don't observe very big performance improvement compared to current PyTorch. So overall, not sure if it is very worth it, although it's not hard to wrap it thanks to the C-style API.

I'm the author of the article.

The inflated price you're talking about is called the "gross price." It's a made-up price, or MSRP. Just publishing this price list isn't that helpful.

The price lists are supposed to contain the negotiated rates with different insurance companies or medicare. Those reflect the rates that your insurance company pays. You pay some fraction of that depending on your plan.

Most price lists don't contain this information, though.

The purpose of the article was to see how many of them contain the elements that are required from the transparency bill, the ones which allow meaningful price comparison between hospitals. And the answer is... not that many do.

But among the ones that do, you can kinda sorta make a meaningful comparison (but there are even caveats there as well.) Feel free to follow up if you have more questions.

It even changes the name of the building it's criticizing to make it more difficult to find. After a search I located it, it's The Greenpoint (not "The Josh" as the article claims). You can look it up on Google maps, it's 21 India St, Brooklyn, NY 11222. It seems fine to me? Not particularly nice, but I'd take it over brutalism or international style buildings any day of the week.

If anything, I'd say that modern buildings are a lot more pleasant than those that were being built in the 60's and 70's.
Why? Because there's no signal other than standardized test scores? If you believe that then you probably should just admit the highest scores.

When I last looked at the research many years ago, other signals certainly tended to be noisier but there's no particular reason to think that admissions would be better if universities simply set a test floor then rolled a dice.
When Google puts in official sleeping places (they had sleep pods as well as some rooms) they would ensure they were up to code.

The point is that there eventually will be a fire or some other problem and by complying with code you're going to be considered slightly less irresponsible for letting your employees get toasted.
If you want a wearable keyboard, take a look at tap strap [0]. It is a series of connected rings, for one hand, that sense tapped chords as keyboard presses or mouse movements. To be clear, I don't have personal experience with it.

I disagree with Ploum that we should expect or hope for ergonomic keyboards with laptops. The market for people who desire and can afford them is too small for a production run. I say this as someone who typed this with an ergodox and followed that conversational space for several years.
