I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.
Not a fan of any authoritarianism, but USA could also be described the same way. We have massive data warehouses that just collect everything, phone calls, texts, internet packets. We just have different owners, but its the same game.

If you haven't read up on the unclassified docs that have been released about the secret agencies of this country, you should. We've done everything and worse to our own citizens. Including firebombing entire cities, sending the military to kill people striking, dosing unaware Americans with LSD... the list is long.
What I've learned from my girlfriend is that you enjoy having a needle put in you, especially if it's large enough to feel.
That's just sound engineering.

Besides the usual quality considerations (correct, available, performant, etc.), well engineered software systems should be:

- observable: you need to be able to tell the state of the system to a sufficient degree (metrics, status reports, etc.)

- operable: it should be possible to influence the behavior of the system even in case of failure (feature flags, tools for retrying or pausing jobs, throttle processing speed, etc.)

Failure modes should be considered as early as you can, and provide sufficient tooling to deal with them.

Most of the effort on large scale or mission critical systems is dealing with failure modes, rather than the happy path and making sure it's extremely difficult to make it fail catastrophically without recourse.

Failure should be considered business as usual and dealt with accordingly, hopefully automatically but you need to leave tooling in place for those situations you didn't consider.
Sure, that's probably true. But can we get back to "blue collar American workers create must industrial products a nation of 350 million people consumes?" Maybe we will have fewer TVs and fewer cars, and raspberries will cost $5 a quart because we'll be paying American-born workers to make everything and harvest everything. But if that gives everyone something to do and flattens the social hierarchy, that would be better.
You know it's ok to just say you don't like Gnome. I'm not going to judge.

I think the 2gb it eats are essentially trivial costs to pay compared to the functionality you get (easily comparable to modern windows/macOS) given the costs of those alternatives.

I'm on my work mac right now, and it's using 26gb of ram right now (mostly dev related) - but at least 4gb of which is for non-application usage... to count:

windowServer is 1.3

softwareupdated is 1.2

softwareUpdateNotificationManager/Finder/systemSoundserverd are another 1

misc services are about .72

Basically - you can complain about how inefficient Gnome is all day - I'm telling you that it DOES NOT CHANGE THE VALUE PROPOSITION.

It's plenty efficient for what it does. Please use the RAM - keep focused on features.

That’s surprising! Do you mean the entire life of the engine, or just one run? If the former, doesn’t that get expensive? I imagine that’s not very sustainable.

You make that comment sarcastically, but git has in fact made decentralized development easier, and is in fact used that way by some projects such as the Linux kernel.

That many people choose to use it though centralized services such as Github doesn't diminish its power as a tool for decentralized software development compared with earlier tools such as cvs and svn.

Likewise, Bitcoin and Ethereum also enable decentralized coordination that wasn't previously practical, and the fact that accessing them via centralized middlemen is currently popular doesn't change that.
Wow, musk is flying a LOT. Sometimes multiple times in a day. Often across the country and back again. All in a private jet.

Clearly you haven't been involved in a child custody case. If you had, you'd know the kinds of tricks people will play, up-to-and-including falsely claiming the child has been kidnapped and is under threat. Family court never, and I mean NEVER, holds anyone accountable for false accusation, and there is a subset of family law attorneys in every town who knows this and uses it, if they get a chance. The collateral damage, "boy who cried wolf" style, is just another unhappy side-effect of this practice.

As for the risk of a murdered child, well, if that argument works for you, then why stop there? Why should police have to wait for a search warrant...what if we end up with a murdered child? Why should police have to avoid using deadly force to stop a fleeing suspect...what if we end up with a murdered child? Of course, we already have a (rather large, vocal) group of people who believe exactly this, which is why CPS is called on parents who, for example, run into a bakery, with their minivan idling with 6 kids in it, and get arrested for child endangerment.

It's easier to take an extreme, confident position when you don't know anything about it.
One of the best features of git that every cloned repo is a full copy. Now having a separate backup of the golden repo itself is also a good idea, but if shit hits the proverbial fan you at least have the full history up to your latest git fetch on your laptop.

@throwaway26342 I agree, to an extent.
A mid to senior level JS developer should be able to pick up React fairly quickly.
A junior developer will struggle, no matter which framework/library is used.
They don't expect to get any useful information out of him, they expect to be doing their jobs. When this kind of disaster happens, politicians don't question the perpetrators to get any key insight into them, they do so to put on a bit of theatre, that they can later use to support legislature that they are going to draft. (Or quietly kill in committee.)

The only people who can do anything meaningful about SBF are working for the DOJ, and they don't do their work by holding public hearings.

The rocket sequence was a direct result of the electronic model executing — and so the timing and hence flight path was determined by that gravitational model.

The rockets are the mechanism of projecting that mathematical model back into physical change: but where you end up depends on which model you’re projecting.
With original DRAM you had the row strobe, the column strobe and then you could read out your data. You then had to precharge the row again before doing another access. Page mode DRAM improved on this by allowing you to keep the row open and read multiple columns, but you had to wait until the read completed before presenting the next column address. Enhanced-data-out (EDO) DRAM extends this by allowing you to pipeline accesses with the row.

So the ability to pipeline is much older than DDR. DDR SDRAM is an evolution on SDRAM, which is the first variety of DRAM that is actually clocked (and came after EDO); and the main innovation is transfer on both edges of the clock (falling as well as rising) - hence double-data-rate.

Yes. I can confirm this worked on a non rooted phone in Canada. GUI settings were being ignored. I think the first alert I confirmed not getting was for a weather warning 500 km away.
See, the Python code has some hints as to what's going on. If you know that x is a variable, 'for x in' spells it out to some degree. Maybe you don't nail the exact functionality just from looking, but it feels more accessible.
Musk isn't running for office. Politics is always about who you like, even office politics, else brown-nosing and loyalty wouldn't be a thing.

Michael Jordan was careful and successful in not having social/political stuff affect his business. But he was in a more underdog class. Musk is already an overdog.

I think that might have been its original purpose, but I can't help but believe that this is evil.

People are quick to jump to the "It's their website, they don't have to do anything yada yada" but there is an implied social contract between the users and the owners that for whatever tier of service (free, paid, ad-supported, whatever) you are using you will receive an equal amount and quality of service as every other user on the platform.

I'm not against moderation, I'm against secret moderation that wastes the time of other people's lives. Just be forthright and tell people they are muted but can still participate.

Funny seeing this here. I've been going through the past episodes of a podcast, Futility Closet, and they covered this:

We have to start somewhere, and private industry isn't going to start it because, as you point out, there's not many reasons to do it at the moment. The ISS is allowing us to experiment with living in orbit for extended periods. We certainly have to master those relatively simple conditions before attempting to survive a manned trip to Mars or living on the Moon.

Also SpaceX wouldn't exist without the ISS. It's NASA contracts for resupplying the ISS that kept it alive in the early days. Which just goes to prove the model: Government invests in "useless" project that allows private industry the toe-hold of capital needed to kickstart a new technology.

To your Antarctic exploration analogy, I'd say the ISS is more equivalent to McMurdo station than the Amundsen expedition

China does use slave labor, mostly in its prison system. Just like in the US. It's a marginal part of the overall economy. Just like in the US.

Yet people talk about China like it's an entirely gulag based economy.

No-bullshit environment. Typically can only be found in early stage companies.
Well, there were certainly cases where companies pioneered something and government took over later - like railways in Austria-Hungary. The conservative government in Vienna did not thin these newfangled trains could ever make money, but handed out permits to private companies anyway. Then when it saw how bloody lucrative it is, it nationalized those companies afterwards.

And there are other examples, such as the East India Company having its own army, navy and effectively ruling a big part of India at a time.
I would recommend reading Peter Zeihan’s books, or watching some of his interviews on You Tube, to get a fuller geopolitical view. It’s fascinating stuff.
Any artist who makes a living on their art cares about market share- at least to the extent that they have to go back to having a day job if the market share gets low enough.
Jose, this is all very exciting and cool congrats to the team. I have been trying to wrap my head around this (ML is _not_ one of the areas I have a lot of background in) to see if I could figure out how to pull in something like Whisper (speech to text/translation/transcription model) and if I am getting it it looks like its just missing a little bit of hookups to the audio parsing -> tensor. if you are looking for votes to extend the core models implemented that would be my vote -- or fodder to blog about how to pull in a model that does not currently exist it looks like that one would have a lot of learnings and show the process well. Anyways this all is so cool and is amazing -- I did not realize those core parts were so built out (axon etc).

Thanks! I may be fine tuning the installation process on newer Ubuntu/Debian if I have time over the holidays.

It's not lazy - it's efficient.

Centralization is an optimization, fragility/trust/single point of failure being tradeofs.

IIRC they are just as loud and annoying as an earthquake alert. This makes earthquake alerts less useful.

I started buying m.2 drives instead because they've gotten super cheap and are almost the same size. The main reason is even the crappiest m.2 drive has acceptable write performance but many USB drives are unbearable. I bought a little m.2 dock, I wish the enclosures weren't all expensive.
these fail for a variety of reasons. The dead simple answer is that people who are trying to sell these are doing it off of a gimmick because to truly do this as the commenter suggested is nearly impossible if you are trying to offer an actual solution. Compression often adds noise that is hard to capture, the patterns can change on model updates, you can easily update models to capture these sequences. It relies on both a dumb model and dumb consumer for this work.
At what population size is democracy acceptable? Is it bad to say live in a world with decentralized democracies i.e. say the US and Sweden are separate entities?
That's really not at all fair, the NWS has put a lot of effort since the Joplin tornado into localizing warnings as much as possible to the affected area. They may geolocate the warning based on the tower rather than the phone, but that's still a long way away from "across the state". And you maybe should look into it, but flash floods have nothing to do with bodies of water. You could be 1k feet above a lake on the side of a mountain, but that mudslide caused by torrential rain might be a problem for you.

Whatever he turns out to be, this tech is going to be there in the head of those people working at SpaceX. Should it go bankrupt later, other investors will hire them and they go forward.

Musk is … unique. Let’s say. But he is very good at organizing companies for a relentless push for the results.
I believe Apple will be the second major OS to add JPEG XL after Linux distros. They understand user value in the creative space. Creative work occasionally needs more than 12 bits, no surprises approach to quality, and performant lossless coding.

Hey, Substack CTO. That's exactly right. Thank you for this
It depends enormously on the subject you get a PhD in. Some niche corner of physics, which happens to critical for EUV chip fabrication? Vs. the plays of Sophocles (ancient Greek playwright, lived ~2,400 year ago)?
It didn't crash, it just "experienced circumstances that ended its current flight", hah.

I realize we'll never hear about it, but I'd be very interested to see what caused it.
I'm listening. I've heard this three times in the last week. But I haven't been ELI5'd what this really means for the rest of my adulthood. I only know a "Globalized World". I was in elementary school when Bill Clinton was elected and globalization (economically) started, right?

So is this a reversion? Is it socially bad but economically good? Does the $1 slice become the $2 slice in a couple years?

Or are we trying to say something worse?
There's a really great museum here in the UK for the Mary Rose which was a warship used by King Henry VIII's navy in the early 1500s that sank in combat. Only part of the ship remains, but many artefacts were found with the ship, https://maryrose.org/the-artefacts/1/

While finding the ship is cool enough you have to wonder what else might be down there... The artefacts found with the Mary Rose give us a huge amount of insight into Tudors and are arguably far more valuable than the ship itself.

Yes, Elon's takeover of Twitter is a hot culture war topic. Sites would run that story.
It's pretty clear at this point that this is a personal hobby horse project that involved spending an absurd amount of money to unban a few people from a private walled garden.

Twitter is a private walled garden. It always was a private walled garden. It always will be. If you want free speech head over to the fediverse or run your own site.

If you're pissed about what Elon did, consider that he has been punished for it already. He paid $44 billion for Twitter.
I'd be fine with this being developed in a civilian clinical setting.

I am not fine with the military developing this and then considering it's use on service members.

Particularly troubling are the lines "since patients will often tell their clinicians what they think the clinician wants to hear rather than how they are truly feeling" and "on aggregating preconscious brain signals to determine what someone believes to be true."

They see an issue with a voluntary clinical process and they want to remove the voluntary aspect of it. To me, it seems they are interfering with a process failure they haven't categorized correctly and are attempting to remove the patient from their own process of care.

If the intention is to use this on service members without their explicit request, this presents one of the slipperiest slopes I've ever seen.
I had a similar thought once, and while I still think the idea is correct, I just haven't found any variable width font for which this works for me. Most fonts have very narrow punctuation symbols. That makes sense for the visual flow of natural language text. But in code, symbols need to stand out just as much as letters. Monospace fonts achieve this perfectly, even if mostly by accident.

(BTW this is also the reason why I don't use "code ligatures" -- mashing symbols together is the opposite of what I want to read code clearly.)
Omggggggg you’re amazing!!! Not ideal but a great workaround, thank you!

If you want people who use the software you develop to pay you to use it, you should not release your software under an open source license.

You probably already knew this, I don't mean to point out the obvious. I am just confused by your comment, and others like it that frequently come up on HN these days. People saying or implying that there is something unfair about using open source software under the license terms that its developers have chosen to release it.

I see some instability with China as it has grown a stronger domestic market, which is positive, but they are going to have to more directly deal with their inefficiencies. They are and will continue to struggle to export themselves out of their economic problems. This also relates to their internal inflation. Belt and road is good for importing materials and exporting cheap goods, but it isn't enough. Not sure if the Chinese middle class are going to be able to pick up the slack. The current leadership doesn't seem to care at the moment and expect everyone to sacrifice for the party.

I've seen this decoupling argument used in Canada a lot. It doesn't work very well there. The country is still completely dependent on the US market. They've tried Europe, Asia Pacific, and China, with a minimal budge in its current dependency. The disruption and economic pain are too high to force it in to existence and would be political suicide. Maybe the an authoritarian and central planning model can get over that in China? If the current internal investment inefficiencies are any clue, I would say no.
He seems to be a member of the everything must be done in person school of thought. He also likely has to have meetings with even more "non-digital-native" people that are even more of that mentality.

there is no framework whatsoever for neural monitoring. This is willfully dishonest, and more than a bit worrying to see trotted out as a defense of one of the most invasive technologies currently in development.
I'm not sure "financing" their military buildup is the right way to analyze what's happening in China. Do they really have a dependence on U.S./western goods? It seems like almost all their production is domestic besides imports of chips and software (Microsoft, Apple, etc.). I doubt they'll have much trouble replacing those U.S. imports either. And, at least from western reporting, it seems that China has significant coercive control over their people even in their daily lives. If all this is true, then it makes no sense to quantify China's efforts in dollars and to think that somehow the West is financing it. It makes more sense to look at China as a self sufficient economy with a potential labor force of 1.4B and compare it to the U.S., EU, India, etc. which have a similar position and are for now buddies in competition against it.
