Interesting! Why is it not allowed to have alt accounts? And why was such severe action taken, without enough evidence? Why do people want using alts in the first place, in a game with perfect information?

In StarCraft II, having alts is tolerated (well, depending on your manners - nobody likes smurfing), but we have sc2revealed.com which takes crowd-sourced reports to try to unmask "barcode" (llllllllllll) players. Many pros try to practice anonymously on the ladder, because SC2 a game of imperfect information, and in a best-of-3 series (like in a tournament), you 1. don't want to use the same opening every match, and 2. don't want your opponent to immediately recognize what you're doing, or work on preparing a counter ahead of time.

> Asynchronous processor interrupts have analogues to basically all these issues that signals do.

I know. That doesn't really excuse the suckiness of asynchronous signals. It's quite simply stupid to have operating system facilities that are as limited as actual hardware interfaces. With signals, you're supposed to write code like your computer is a Super Nintendo or something.

> Clearly signals aren't a message passing scheme, they're a notification system.

Signals suck as a notification system too, simply because there is no queue. You're supposed to be notified by a signal when a child process exits but the system can actually lose that information forever in certain conditions which means it is literally impossible to build truly correct software, best you get is good enough. You also get a signal when you write to a pipe with no readers or when the terminal is resized, making it that much more of a pain to deal with that stuff.

People build literal user interfaces using signals. SIGINT and SIGTERM, everybody knows about that. SIGHUP to make some running process reload configuration or something. Even dd prints a progress report if you send SIGUSR1, how insane is that? I really don't want to think about signal insanity when doing important I/O operations.

For you, maybe not. For me it has been in the running - and mostly in the lead - for close to 30 years. There's Linux on this iMac, on the Thinkpad sitting next to it, on the server these connect to, on the phones lying on the desk, on the tablet. For all I know there is Linux in the washing machine as well, I never bothered to look. It seems like Gates' vision of "information at your fingertips" has come true, the only thing "missing" is Windows. I do have a few virtual machines on the server for the few packages (VAG ELSA, looking at you...) which don't run well on Linux/Wine but these only get started every other blue moon.

By the way, the Chromebook you mentioned runs Linux. Google might eventually port this to Fuchsia but this remains to be seen.

I think OP's point is that there's one more major use case — gaming — for which Windows has a newly viable competitor. It's not that Linux is going to replace Windows, but that Windows could suffer a death by a thousand cuts. I'll note that more and more offices that I encounter seem to be switching to Chromebooks.

In the case of actual e-bikes that are driven on the roadway, you would have to be weary of one unusually closing in on you. I don't see how one would miss that, also you shouldn't even be standing in reach of the roadway.

But if you mean those e-scooters, then those aren't significantly faster than bicycles and would have to yield to car traffic soon enough for me to catch up on foot.
Yours is the first comment in this thread about a car ban. Nobody is arguing that cars don't have uses, but that also doesn't mean we should ignore their negative effects and skip investing in more efficient options.
The policy editor should let you disable most (all?) of these things. It comes with the pro edition I think.

Even if it was just a $5 part protecting only a $3 part, it still makes sense to keep it. The logistics of returns and customer support for even a small percentage of returns would potentially be worth it.

Amazon used the stage of AWS re:Invent to toss shade on .Net and reveal its broader ambitions.

This is exactly how I was introduced to tmux and learned to love it. Joined a web dev company who’s workflow was to start a swath of back-end servers each in a tmux pane. There were more than a dozen, so the tmux launch script made it simple and manageable. It’s nice to have the outputs in separate terminals, and to be able to restart them because the command’s in bash history, among many other little niceties.

Another plus for the dirty powered EV is that when you burn fossil fuels in a car then (1) any add-on equipment you want to use to capture or reduce pollution has severe size and weight and cost restrictions due to being part of the car, and (2) you are releasing your pollution in population centers.

With the EV powered by electricity from a dirty power plant (1) you can afford bigger, heavier, more expensive pollution control, and (2) you can build power plants away from population centers so whatever pollution does escape ends up being a small increase for people over a wide area instead of major increase for just one city.

I stand by my point. It was all reactionary stuff. I went to the conferences and saw the talks by those bright eyed young developers. Their disdain for RDBMS and SQL was as fervent as it was misguided. They hailed a new era of Big Data and NoSQL. Hadoop was gonna be the way to store it all or you weren't webscale.

Forward a decade and most of it is in the dustbin of unmanageable tech while good ole RDBMS outlived them all. Mongo is about the only one I still hear about and see pop up in job ads. Might share the fate of Hadoop too when people learn that Postgres can index JSON too and even be sharded if you need to (you likely don't).
Too complicated :(

Overall it provides guarantees I don't need for what I want to write so doesn't justify the additional cognitive overhead.
Crackpots emerge when a conceptual model is weak. They don't care how strong a mathematical model is, which is why they ignore SM and other areas where "theory" literally means a mathematical model, and nothing else. Having a lot of crackpots proposing bad theories is a sign that your conceptual model is garbage, just a bad attempt to hand wave a bunch of math that happens to predict reality, and you should stop pretending.

There are infinitely many mathematical systems that could describe "reality" all with divergent behavior in the parts of the system we haven't observed yet. Trying to make authoritative claims by analogy to coincidentally correspondent mathematical systems is foolhardy and vain.

Thanks for teaching me the word garrulous! For years in my teens and twenties I built my English vocabulary slowly, by looking up any word I didn’t know while browsing the internet. Looking up 15 words every day adds up, even if you don’t have a system for memorizing them. But there too have I reached a plateau.

I remember taking a test that tries to gauge the size of your vocabulary fairly recently (it was linked and discussed on HN IIRC), and being somewhat disappointed that I, in my mid-30s, rank like a native ~15 year old. I’d like to express myself in more sophisticated ways, like an adult would, but the look-up method is at an end there. Hardly ever do I need to look up a single word when reading tech content, which is what I consume the most.

So for me it would take an effort to seek out such material, that pushes my vocab bounds. Kudos to you for getting active, it’s not that low of a hurdle to get started on!

(Corrections welcome)
Don't know. Karpathy has a very compact implementation of GPT [0] using standard technology (could be even more compact but is reimplementing for example the attention layer for teaching purposes) and while he presumably has no access to how the real model was trained exactly, if there would be more to it I think he would be the kind of person to point it out.

Anyone can file lawsuits, even bogus ones without merit.

Picking a few recent Title IX complaints, as described by someone who is not a legal scholar, is going to be full of noise that will amplify preconceptions.

Were there similar complaints 20 years ago? 40 years ago? How did they turn out? The first example seems unlikely to be the first such case.

Who called Trump an idiot for his criticism of German energy policy? He's not even the first US president to criticize German reliance on Russian gas--both Obama and Bush before him were critics of it. And there's been a lot of criticism even within Europe about the policy. By the time you get to Nord Stream 2, basically even not named Germany or Russia was screaming at the top of their lungs "this is a bad idea" (and Poland, not the US, being the loudest of all).

I will grant you that Trump did get this right... but it was by no means a policy that he was an architect of, and the degree to which he was invested in this policy was questionable (US sanctions were driven largely by Congress, not the president).
I can only speak for Swedish police and the current legal situation but if they had a location on my apartment building for example, it would not help them.

My two buildings have over 128 households. And even if they got a fix on one gate, that's 16 households. And the law says you cannot enter anyones home without a court order here.

So there's really no point in even coming over.

>The issue here is HNers not being aware of what's being done and what is being developed in these industries...

Well, HN is not a specialised high power electricity engineers forum, though the original article is (IMHO) a little scare-mongering it seems like delivering a correct message, (in a nutshell) a lot of work for new lines and substations will be needed to be able to charge cars and commercial electric vehicles.

If really-really the transition will happen in the 2030's for passenger cars and in the 2040-2050's for trucks, it's not a bad idea to start working on these grid extensions.
The problem with these online “status” discussions is that they discuss status as though it’s independent of the hard work and talent that typically results in success. I’m not saying that’s always present: some people just get lucky. But most of the people you probably want to emulate aren’t “just” lucky. They’re talented and worked hard to produce exceptional work over and over again, and then maybe also had some luck.

Anyway, the point here is that I’ve been fortunate to meet a number of really talented people at various stages of their careers, and many of the most talented ones really are humble. They act that way because they don’t need to be boastful about their work in the first place, and lack of humility is a really good way to make people resent you instead of helping you, which is counterproductive when you’re good at what you do. It also signals that you aren’t confident in your work, or that you’re overconfident and not careful. Both can be red flags.

Don’t know why I’m writing this. I just wish someone had explained these things to me when I was starting out in my career.

Lesson No.1: Don't use your phone in public while strolling about, oblivious to what's going on around you.

I used to cycle to work down a pavement which was divided into half for walking on and half cycle lane. I lost count of the number of times I had to swerve round people strolling along [often in the dedicated cycle lane part] with their phone either clamped to the side of their head or held out in front of them watching something on screen --completely oblivious to the world around them.

If I'd been of a criminal disposition, I could have trivially plucked the phones from these people's hands and been away and out of reach before they even realised what was going on. And I could have harvested 3 or 4 phones every day this way. And that's, just commuting to work, not actually seeking out victims.

I generally have sympathy for anyone who gets their 'stuff' stolen. But not much I'm afraid for the kind of people who can't even walk down the street without their fucking phone permanently attached to their face. Completely ignorant of the fact they're getting in other people's way and almost causing accidents, wherever they go.

Question for ESL people here.

One of my direct reports is a non-native English speaker. He has a pretty thick accent and talks fast. Common feedback I get from customers we work with is that he can be hard to understand.

I plan on giving him some career advice that he should work on this. Talk slower, consider working on reducing his accent.

Any suggestions on how to do this in a way that is sensitive / not-offensive?

My first instinct is just to say it, share comments I’m getting from our customers, etc. but I don’t want it to be hurtful. It’s really a “you could be more effective if … “ thing.
I think you might be coming from a different socioeconomic perspective. The legions of C and B students would suggest that most kids do not have the means to buy someone else’s work.

As for the viability of an ai detector, if a human can’t recognize the difference in a fundamentally human dataset (language) there is no reason to suspect ML would be better suited to it. A watermarking scheme would be more effective.
Adding a bit more context to this good post, the control algorithms are designed and developed around assumptions and an operational envelope deemed to be "normal".

An airplane is much more complicated from a systems perspective (but yet can be more easily automated from an operational POV). To make an airplane fly, there are dozens of control surfaces, very complex mechanical systems, and not to mention a greater degree of danger (i.e., explosions) and loss of life should these systems fail. Yet, when everything "works" within their engineered/designed parameters, we can construct control algorithms around these operational envelopes.

Also, at 10k feet in the air, there are rules that govern flight paths (overseen by controllers); radar and beacons that help keep planes on track; and most importantly much less traffic/congestion (as opposed to a bus or car).

This provides the pilots (and also sailors) the ability to automate their flight at steady-state. This is where it gets interesting. If a plane loses a control surface or a critical system fails, these controls systems will be pushed outside of their operational envelopes, and this is where a human takes over.

It's not a question of "if" but "when" things will fail....

The problem with that idea is not having to pay in general, but the fact that you can buy a symbol associated with being trustworthy for a very low price. Which had the result of fake accounts buying it and damaging actual companies with their tweets.

Competitors are great, and how our company picks many of its projects. Lots of stuff out there has serious deficiencies, especially when it comes to UX.

I don't think so. Say you had two stationary whatevers of dark matter 1 meter apart alone in the universe. At t=0 they accelerate towards each other. At some time they cross and occupy the exact same point. R becomes 0 and the force becomes infinite. They should be stuck together.
Are you making money from ads, sponsorships, or ...?
Yes, I would like to stress out that it's VERY likely that there are competitors. I believe nearly everything has been already created, and the idea of finding a niche market doesn't necessarily mean to innovate and do something nobody ever ever did, but it's more about offering another perspective of it -> simplification? Modern UI? Same business problem but different solution?

We're almost 8 billion people. If even just a half/quarter of them has a phone or a computer, you can't not find 100 freaking human beings that like what you built.
