I think he was talking about decentralized grids & renewable.

Let's talk about fission - I used to say I'd build 70,000 nuclear reactors if I was in charge of a rich country. Would I have enough fuel to power them all?

Your third paragraph painted a pretty vivid picture in my head, good writing.
Your argument is that my model is flawed because it might not be correct?

That's a bit post-hoc. If I observe 10 coin tosses, and all ten come up heads, and based on that I devise a model that coin tosses always come up heads, then my model will be incorrect, the correct model is still 1/2. Unless of course, the universe is deterministic, in which case the correct model will actually be a list. Or in case it turns out that coins land heads due to a fluctuation in the coin-toss field which we are not currently aware of, so the correct model would involve first observing the coin-toss field.

Obviously a model does not cause reality to be any particular way. A model merely tries to describe and predict. Models get refined as new evidence or data is added to them.

Until we come across intelligent life in the universe, our model is incredibly basic, and yet we have nothing better.
It's difficult to balance; unfortunately from experience in moderating, the poorer countries with a large anglo internet presence also tend to be the biggest sources of spam (not so much low-effort trolling, Americans do that wayyy more).

You could to some extent make an argument that gatekeeping poorer economies is one way to prevent those bots from signing up. It's not one I necessarily agree with, but it is one way to mitigate the spam.

My solution would probably be to permit users from poorer countries to request a signup from someone else at a discount appropriate to their economy using an invite chain. That way you can still offer a fair way for users from poor economies to engage, whilst allowing for easy banning of spambots simply by treebanning the original inviter if you get the spam issue.

Algotrading Marketplace
Hi, I am building an algotrading marketplace. The platform will have two different user types. Users-Algotraders can use the powerful tools provided (technical analysis rules, backtesting, ML/AI assistance, statistics) and publish their strategies to the marketplace (only if profitable). Users-Investors can see the published strategies with their statistics (PnL, drawdown, etc) and invest in them. Live trading is supported via exchanges API to execute the trades, the platform will have no custody of the assets.

I know there are plenty of platforms out there, but I am building it in an innovative way, especially with the assistance of ML/AI.

Do you already use another platform like that?

Do you think this is a great idea?

Thanx!

First of all, if you are comparing K&R against Stroustrup, then you should use C++ARM, not later editions.

Secondly, Bjarne's books include the overview of the standard library, which neither K&R nor its ANSI C revision do.

Third, since everyone keeps using compiler extensions in C, moreso than in C++, those should be included as well.
Since CSR4 uses a MTP-12 cable, I'm assuming it's effectively just 6 x tx/rx pairs compressed into a small package?

How high the comment quality here usually is becomes really noticeable when it's lacking under a post. The most common offenders are political posts with outrage potential, especially while knee-jerk responses are flooding in and before measured comments have had time to rise to the top.

Recent example was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33931384 about cash limits - Sooo many comments are just "Tyranny!", "EU bad!" and overall unmitigated cynicism.
Not sure why you were downvoted. They got their Raleigh (Wake County) license revoked for a while for selling cars with Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia titles IN North Carolina. Cars weren't passing basic safety inspection and sometimes they didn't even provide the title after months!

Transferring an out of state title in NC hits you with a road tax up to a defined upper limit ($400 I believe is the absolute highest) based on car value and state you transfer from, so they likely did this to avoid paying that sales tax themselves before selling the car. It's shady as hell.
Fedora and its community derivatives can be problematic for developers... as the security-policies, application and driver-support can sidetrack projects.

Better for DNS/db/key servers, if you aren't allowed to use *BSD because "reasons".

Sometimes a hardened system is not ideal when you are trying to debug something complicated already. Something like alpine-linux is also intended for specific uses-cases.
Being a small language is not an excuse. Scheme is a small language, still has dynamic-wind (since R5RS, so no spring chicken). Smalltalk is a tiny language, but has BlockClosure#ensure:.

You can have basic safety and QOL features without making the language a monstrous beast. Hell, you can cut old garbage like K&R declarations or digraphs to make room. You can even remove iso646 and most of string.h as a gimme.

Replying to you and defrost here.

I think the solar system moves ~48 AU around the galactic centre every year. And the Milky Way is doing ~117 AU per year. (Using google for calculations)

So maybe that combined with space based telescopes helps to make the parallax method more useful over time. Depending on vectors, etc.
It’s synchronous but it was offloaded on to the southbridge in Intel/AMD CPUs so you could fill a ring buffer and it’d DMA everything to the peripheral without interrupting the CPU. Drivers could just leisurely fill up those ring buffers and never have to worry about kernel scheduling inhibiting hard realtime. As an input the interrupt could also drop into a driver much faster than userland software.

CNCs with MachCNC software and lots of old industrial equipment operated this way since it saved money on custom PCB designs. BART [1] still buys older motherboards with parallel ports wired to the south bridge because USB adaptors can’t guarantee timing and swapping to a PCIe card would require rewriting some old stuff.

However it has to be done at the driver level, it wasn’t Postscript or GCode or something like that, so I doubt this piece of gear will be anywhere as useful as parallel ports used to be.

I don't use up/downvote at all. It kills "organic" conversations and shape it unnaturally.

It also makes me biased to downvoted posts.

I would completely disable voting system in any kind of conversations.
Yeah, I think this will actually do a lot to push people one day to spend more time in the real world, and that will be fine. A lot of people though may enjoy talking to bots, and that's also fine.

A surprising thing is that the gap between XFCE and MATE isn't large. Maybe it's because of the modern GNOME 3's initial infamy, but I kind of assumed that MATE would be a bit more of a resource hog, but I am very happy to see that it isn't!
I would rather see C fully replaced by C++, as Microsoft was pushing for and sadly did an 180° turn on that.

At least WG21 takes security more seriously.
My issue when using dark mode was the inconsistency between windows.

I noticed I was getting extreme eye strain because I kept alt tabbing from apps that supported dark mode to apps that didn't. That constant change from light to dark screens was far more straining to my eyes than my screen being consistently bright.

I quite like the sepia night mode settings though. I don't find it helps with sleep as some claim, but it does seem to make the screen slightly easier to look at for longer periods.
What say you to Jesse Powell's questions about Binance's proof of reserves?

Better for whom? A proper audit would probably be very bad for Binance, Zhao, and his chums, which is why they won't allow one.

To be honest, I don't remember the details and I don't want to waste time looking them up again anymore.

My opinion (and that seems to be that of many) is that targeted advertising is not desirable. Neither from a user perspective (I don't want to give my data to a FANG company) nor from a society perspective.

It opens up the flood gates for misuse like the CA case and it doesn't make the world a better place. And it's not only that isolated case, it's FB's own behavior - things like scraping and cross referencing Bluetooth network and contact information. It's a recipe for disaster.

It's not only about fat fingers.

I may be upvoting more if the up/down links were below the comment. Usually I don't vote until I read the complete comment, and then, scrolling back up just to vote and then back to continue reading feels tedious. But maybe that's the whole point.
Those solutions are simpler to you than simply not voting?

At least in my ancient copy (second edition, from 1988 I think) K&R most definitely has an overview of the standard library, in Appendix B.

He’s probably talking about the Gilead reference. This is the peril of reading fiction - you get some version of the author’s weird fantasies and dreams rattling around in your head. What you have is Atwood in your head. Indeed I originally just downvoted the beginning of this thread, because it seemed really inflammatory, but it seems like you’re posting in good faith.

In real life, approximately zero evangelicals want some kind of Gilead. If you talk to them, the most ideological want some sort of idealized, non-racist high-tech version of the 1950-80s. No doubt there are some cranks out there, but they’re about as common as Westboro Baptist Church members (one family) or the series of weird niche western US cults. The generalization is totally wrong and informed by propaganda.

I’ve thought a lot about how strange it is fiction can have such a powerful effect on people’s perceptions, and people often seem unaware of the propagandistic nature of it. Another example is Atlas Shrugged.

At any rate, being fascinated by the subject of dreams, I have talked to a lot of evangelicals about their dreams and have not noticed any deviation from the norm.
plasmashell, which is written in QML (JS-based), uses hundreds of megabytes, and sometimes leaks memory or bugs out (as far as I can tell, the leaking and instability/crashing is an interaction between QML/JS, the JS engine, and KDE's C++ classes exposed to JS through bindings).
I was ready to dismiss the whole thing and post an example of how off it can be but this prompt (from an actual dream I had three nights ago):

> I dreamed that I was at the end of everything, walking down the stairs with my mother in a kind of tower, looking for small tidbits of reality in the form of plushes or small thingies meant to represent concepts.

returned that:

> The tower you and your mother were in is representative of the obstacles and challenges you have faced in life, while the plushes and small thingies are a sign of finding solace and comfort in small, tangible items. The end of everything is a sign of your feeling of a lack of fulfillment and a need for something more. It could be an indication that you are feeling disconnected from your present life, and the search for these small things is a representation of your desire to find something that makes you feel fulfilled and connected.

It hits a little bit too close to home.

There are many people who have genuine concerns about Israeli issues, such as the election of leaders who prioritise those of one faith over another, the targeted striking of Al Jazeera offices in Palestine, and the eviction of Palestinian citizens from the West Bank https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-63660566. It would be false to assume that brutality of one site absolves the other of criticism for the same actions.

It's worth noting that the last 2 generations of fission plants were guaranteed to produce no waste, to be cheap, efficient, reliable etc. The unpalatable truth here is that we have no idea what fusion power will look like until we have built a few. The quoted section made me laugh as it's easy to be zero carbon when you don't actually exist... :)
A sane defer-like mechanism would be fine with me, but please no destructors (or worse) constructors, they are much too inflexible because they bind 'behaviour' to types. Data should be 'stupid' and not come with its own hardwired behaviour, otherwise this becomes a design-rabbit-hole that eventually ends up in C++.

I'm on wayland, using whichever version of gnome that come with ubuntu 22.10. Hardware is a 3950x with a radeon 5700xt. That should be more than plenty for being able to render firefox and a couple of electron apps (slack, discord) without stutter. Usually it works fine, but sometimes there is stutter or downright freezes.

Note that it doesn't (currently) crash, the when a freeze happens it goes on for a while (30s?) and then go away.
With a trigram index in PostgreSQL you can even do index-supported leading wildcard searches.

Whilst its fantastic (and to be honest a little surprising) that the mission went without any major issues (and the staff at NASA are obviously to be commended for their efforts), the whole project still feels like 'the wrong solution to the problem'.

I get it, SLS was started years ago before commercial space became so successful...but it should've adapted as needed. We're now stuck with a poorly planned mission that's going to cost obscene amounts of money - some of the same reasons they canned Apollo.

I just hope that SpaceX (and others - we need multiple operators) can get this right on their own and force NASA to accept that 'old space' is not the way to be doing things anymore. If we want this to last and not be a 2-3 year run of launches followed by another 50 years of NASA stagnation they'll need to adapt and stop allowing themselves to get bent over by the likes of Boeing and Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, etc.
Again, this decreases actionable accountability to the external world.

This should make it clear why stock buybacks would be preferred. Fewer people with standing to sue if they don't agree with management's direction.
That's true for an exchange, but is absolutely not true for a bank (in a well-run modern state). At least if you don't have millions+ of dollars in the bank, the state ensures that even if the bank were fraudulent, your money is still your money.
> Similarly, the situation with the Uyghurs is well known and other countries do take that into account when interacting with China

... by ignoring the situation.

In essence, the situations you describe are an illustration on how the tech changes some things (like gathering and sharing information about atrocities) that demonstrably turn out to be not really relevant and not causing a meaningful change, since, as it turns out, the underlying reasons for actually implementing difficult political change (or refusing to do so) don't change just because tech makes it easier to talk about it.
Outside. Basically, there was a broad swath of territories where smallholder peasants thrived and wouldn't agree to collectivization without state terror. It included most of Soviet-controlled Ukraine and a large chunk of southern Russia.

The discussion basically amounts to "are heavy-handed anti-crime policies targeting urban youths racist against Blacks or not?"

- "No they aren't, because they target all urban youths, including Hispanics and Whites, and not just Blacks"
- "Yes they are, because they affect a disproportionate share of young Black people. The fact that they affect a disproportionate share of young Hispanics doesn't make it less racist"

> In other words, if you want something in background, make it systemd user service, so the user can use standardized tools to enable/disable/start/stop it.

That would be sufficient if the "standardized tools" provided a similar UI and user feedback for those background tasks. Sure right now I can already have my file synchronization tool run in the background with a systemd service and manually use `journalctl` or `GNOME Logs` to monitor its state, but that's a far inferior user experience than simply having an icon in the corner of my screen which immediately tells me the state of the file synchronization and also allows me to quickly alter its settings.

So as long as those standard background tasks are so tedious to monitor and interact with, I'll keep using the "nonsense" status tray icons.

A lot of dev and gamer oriented sites/apps have a dark mode because it's trendy.

Whether it is objectively better is something I'm very interested in, especially as there are some things (e.g. Twitch's theatre mode) that only offer a dark mode.

> Your dream sounds like a manifestation of your worries and anxieties.

My pet theory is there's nothing to interpret in dreams. They are manifestation of worries and anxieties and that's it. It picks up elements from the previous day and jumble it but it's pretty clear what's happening.

At the moment I am unpacking moving boxes I haven't touched in 2 years and I know some things are missing. Guess who's dreaming he let his pile of boxes on the street, in front of libraries, for three days, to realize the pile may be gone ? And then guess who found out the pile was gone, entered a library and was told that "yes, they were taken away, some sold, some discarded". "My books..." I cried in my dreams.

Yeah, I know I am gonna find out which books got lost in the move soon.

I was wondering if they are planning to use some datalog-style compilation strategy, where all choices are dumped into b-trees and nesting is replaced by indexed tables which are joined.

But I think mixing this with unification vars is sort of an open research problem?

Plus Haskell had a `data-parallel` mode which used a similar compilation strategy. It was dropped for being very complex and having virtually no users. Plus using too much broadcasting and compiling higher order functions into vectorized code had a serious performance tax.

'... I bet smaller memory use and snappiness correlate ...'

one way to probably look at this is as follows: optimising on memory usage f.e. by packing/encoding more information in a limited space, results in reduction of running time of programs. this is because, you reduce the amount of 'stuff' that needs to be moved around in memory (and programs are always doing that).
