> It marks you as a person who puts clarity, convenience and simplicity before raw performance.

This. As noted, even in scripts it usually makes more sense since the result is a pipeline that's easier to read, annotate and modify.

Case in point:

cat file.txt \
| sed '1s/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//' `# Strip UTF-8 BOM at the beginning of the file` \
| ...

Specifying a file name would only make the "black-magic-line" of `sed` more complicated while also making it more complicated to modify the pipeline itself. Now, if I want to skip that step to test something, I don't have to figure out if/how the next command takes an input file (or, ironically, replace `sed` with `cat`).

You'd have to look back, but I think AWS was ahead of many folks in doing this, but surely aren't alone. Today Intel, AMD and Nvidia all offer "DPUs" which is the generic name for what AWS Nitro does. And as others mention Azure has been doing it in FPGAs, so similar idea, just a bit slower and more expensive.
AWS seems to own more of the lower levels of the stack than Microsoft. Right or wrong I can't say. If you do it better than off the shelf, and cheaper, then it's a win of course. Screw up and that's another story.
~30% of wrongful convictions is just rounding error, right?

> Musk addressed the issue in early November, saying he would ban the @ElonJet account due to free speech principles.

>“My commitment to free speech extends even to not banning the account following my plane, even though that is a direct personal safety risk,” Musk said in the Tweet.

Looks like the author / editorial team at Gizmodo missed a negation there?
It still feels dirty to do it secretly

There should be a banner on the account or tweets with a justification or at a minimum an explanation for shadowbanning. Otherwise it's easy to abuse.
In practice, Twitter is partially owned by the bank right now. Although he did sell Tesla stock to get a large part of that money.
Maybe if you said "more general", but TLD is definitely "more specific" (which is why co.uk is not considered a TLD).

Referring to TLDs as extensions is a telltale sign of someone who is semi-technically literate enough to have heard of file extensions but not enough to know why it's incorrect when talking about domains, nor that it outs them by making them sound silly.
> Software engineers are not lawyers and they are bad at interpreting laws.

Right, so if something seems sketchy ("please ignore these specific deductions when calculating our holdings") , get a lawyer - or CEO or CFO or whatever - to say in writing that it's fine.

And if something seems actually illegal ("just run the blood test results out-of-spec and report them anyway") just don't do it. Nothing absolves you of some things.
It appears on here, for example, under the "Wildcards":

Depends on how you interpret the 2nd amendment. Different originalist justices will interpret it differently. The current court in their most recent 2nd amendment ruling indicates that their new test will allow many current gun regulations to stand.

If the current conservative justices believe any weapons at all should can be banned (which they said they do—of course they could always be lying) then you have to think they believe a MANPAD can.

> apart from the mentioned twitter account

The one covered in the NYT (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/03/technology/elon-musk-jet-...), Musk has publicly tweeted about (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1589414958508691456), offered $50k to remove (https://www.protocol.com/elon-musk-flight-tracker), and of a plane registered to "Falcon Landing LLC" at "1 Rocket Road, Hawthorne CA" (https://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/Search/NNumberResul...)?

C'mon. We know it's his jet.
He deliberately trivialized the thesis and posted an out of context excerpt in order to make it as inflammatory as possible and insinuate that Yoel wants to sexualize children. Musk’s fans took that to mean pedophile because that is the normal Musk playbook.
Ask HN: Can we get a dedicated gratitude page on HN?
So, I will often come across a bit of tech or an application that I think is amazing and I am just generally blown away by (currently it is handwriting recognition on iPad, I haven't tried it in years and I can't believe how good it is now) and thought it would be good if there was a place on HN to celebrate these kinds of things. Like a “Gratitude: “ post title and then a gratitude link at the top in the nav bar next to ‘show’ or ‘ask’ so you could see all the new posts.

I think this would be quite good as it would also set the tone of the post to a positive one; HN can be quite negative or critical (and I am guilty of this myself on multiple occasions, especially recently) and having the Gratitude flag may go some way to keeping these posts having a positive focus. I enjoy debate and we need it for a healthy society but it can also be draining and I think it would be nice to have a little corner of HN that you can go to that’s a bit cheerier for those times when you just want to share in some positivity.

Nobody should have to sell sex to make ends meet, period.

But the content of this post...wow. Here is how I read it:

* Young girl has a rough childhood and gets into prostitution and drugs.
* "The Nordic model", the gist of the law that absolves her when she takes the money and condemns whoever gives that money to her, gives her leverage to charge more money and, if things don't go her way, blackmail her customers with the authorities.

The last point is actually what makes and breaks the Nordic model: the extortion knife under the table, institutionalized.
He doesn't have the relationship with the local Apple store to possess that top of the line screen podcasters use in the background.
Sure I guess. But the line Musk himself drew was that he wouldn’t ban this or any account unless it was doing something illegal. It’s clearly not. So according to free speech absolutists like Musk, the banning of this account is a violation of the 1st amendment rights of the poster.

(I don’t agree with that, but I spent weeks arguing with Musk supporters about this very fact. Now all of a sudden they are saying “it’s his right to do whatever he wants with Twitter”, which I agree with. But then why did Musk buy Twitter in the first place? Well now we know: to do whatever he wanted with it, not to champion free speech rights! Which is exactly what people were worried about! It’s all so frustrating…)

Twitter Has Stopped Paying Rent on Offices
Dear open source community, meet ThreeFold
Dear open source community,

I am reaching out to share with you an exciting project: ThreeFold. A decentralized, open source, privacy- & security-focused internet infrastructure that connects users directly with local Internet capacity provided by farmers.

Our co-founders have deep experience in Internet & Cloud. With the belief that the centralized Internet is not the way forward, they came together to rebuild a new Internet from scratch, decentralized, for and by the people.

ThreeFold unlocks a participatory model for the Internet, whereby people can connect hardware to electricity and a network connection and provide Internet capacity for the communities around them while earning a reward in the form of TFT (ThreeFold Token).

While ThreeFold uses the blockchain for some aspects, we do not consider ourselves a blockchain project. And while ThreeFold has its own token, TFT, we do not consider ourselves a crypto project. Blockchain and digital currencies are tremendous technological developments that bring value to what we are building, but they do not define us. We want to set ourselves apart from the manipulation and transparencies of the crypto industry which have led to massive ups and downs. Instead we are building a sustainable and balanced economic model for the benefit of all in the ThreeFold community.

At ThreeFold, we believe that the future of the web lies in decentralization, and we are committed to building technologies that put users in control of their own data and enable a more open and transparent internet. We are a project based on the values of putting our planet and people-first, and authenticity. The actions we take must benefit the planet and the people around us. And without authenticity, we have no solid foundation from which to start. This extends out to who we choose to collaborate with. We believe that the fight for a better Internet is inseparable from the fight for a better world.

Our project is still a work in progress, but we would love to get your feedback and input as we continue to develop it. We believe that the open source community has a critical role to play in shaping the future of the web, and we would be honored to have you join us on this journey.

If you are interested in learning more about our project and how you can get involved, please don't hesitate to reach out. I would be happy to share more details and hear your thoughts.

In the meantime, here are some useful links to get acquainted with our project:

At least as a human you can say that you don't know instead of giving answers that are the exact opposite of what I'm asking for.
what do you mean “profit”? The prices won’t stay suppressed once the SPR drain stops, OPEC has no interest in keeping prices low and the current admin has been cutting US output.

> with everyone more angry at him than ever his attempts to be liked in public (the Chappell show thing etc)

what continues to stun me is how tone-deaf his efforts are. Is he trying to be genuinely liked or is he trying to prove that he's funny" and "cool"? Popping up on stage unannounced at a comedy show of all places, to deliver a catchphrase from 2 decades ago was not going to end well.
You are being willfully obtuse as a pretext to make low effort in-group signaling comments ("look guys, I have a zero tolerance stance on drinking and driving") and it is fooling nobody. You are just as responsible for bad online discourse as any one person who litters in the park is responsible for the state of the park.

I am going to restate my prior comment (which was already quite clear) with more verbosity for the benefit of good faith readers. Trivial amounts of alcohol (e.g. two bud lights) affect a person's performance at any given task less than day to day variation from other factors (last night's sleep, how your day is going, etc), it is "below the noise threshold" so to speak. Thats why it's basically impossible to attribute any given degradation of performance to a couple beers but if you were to do a big study with many participants you could see an effect. Hence my point, if you are an unsafe driver after a couple water-beers or any other thing that gives you a BAC that's solidly below the typical legal maximums (.04-08 depending on country or US state) are an unsafe driver sober.
There would still be if it took years to get a nursing certification and essentially everyone with one was already employed. I can't just decide that I'm a nurse tomorrow and start on Monday, no matter what they pay.
If, as you say, this is a demand surge, classical economics would suggest that the price of the demanded good/service should go up.

The article, however, is very clear that this is a supply issue, and not a "demand surge."

In either case, it seems that equilibrium would set wages higher.
What's really funny is that I see people on Twitter tweeting about leaving Twitter every day. I know they won't, so the whole thing doesn't make any sense.
the USDC peg to the dollar has nothing to do with this.

I never said it did.

The problem is that Binance converts every stablecoin you deposit there to BUSD

The real problem is that Binance can do whatever *they* want with your deposits --- including refuse to return them.

The real problem is that the crypto market is about as far removed from *trustless* or *decentralized* as is imaginable or possible.

The real problem is that people who say they don't trust government will readily trust FTX or BlockFi or Voyager or Celsius or Binance or Bitfinex --- all of which have been shown to be far less worthy of it in my opinion.
To be fair, the goal of ChatGPT is to generate a highly probable answer. Given modern software ecosystems, we have to admit that it's highly plausible that a problem wouldn't be solved in code, but be delegated to a module that already exists. Which is also often regarded as the more elegant solution. This merely reflects the training data. Mind that this is not about knowledge or the factual world, but about probability. (On a more general level: just because it looks like a solution – which is the goal of the app –, this doesn't necessarily mean that it is one. It's meant to impress, not to inform.)
I thought it was the town square of the world?
So if it turns out Elon lied, you’ll change your opinion of him?
If it's any consolation, the entire industry was in that state: poor controls, poor encryption, and security, etc.
If you zoom in, you get lower and lower level OTCA metapixels forever, very straightforward.

But if you zoom out, at any time it could be possible for them to compute a different pattern. But it's OTCA metapixel all the way up. What is being computed, other than more OTCA metapixels? What is being computed after infinite zoom out steps?

Makes me question the meaning of existence!

I'm sorry but this is a really poorly informed opinion. You actually can have a shortage of labor - see e.g. countries like Japan and Russia, where the demographics are very skewed towards the geriatric, and you literally have more jobs than people to do them. Birth rates in these countries have been too low to keep populations stable, and as people retire you wind up with a labor shortage.

This is starting to happen all over the world as the global baby boomer generation is aging into retirement. It's started to happen in most of western Europe, China, Japan, Russia, even the US. It's absolutely not a wage issue, it's a demographic issue.
This is where the standard should have been more strict.

For historical reasons the original C types bit-width were not strongly defined as most hardware of the time had "exotic" registers and addresses by today standards.

But it was a long time ago. It is reasonably safe to assume that 14bits ints and 21bits pointers are deprecated.

Why would DSPs would need to change the bit-width of chars? We already have shorts and ints that are better candidates for 16bits and 32bits width.

I would not mind if the C standard was made both stricter and simpler, and I maintain that the author is wrong, fputc (and all other IO libs depending on it) should not be modified to take into account this kind of absurd corner cases.

Doing so will introduce more bugs and complexity that would have to be maintained.
Thanks for adding some more detail. You are saying the diver who was in the middle of risking his life to save children was an asshole that deserved to be called a pedophile by the richest may on earth. I haven't learned anything new about the diver or Musk, but I know something about you now.
> I think it's also important to note the discrepancy in transparency. Yes, FTX was just a centralized exchange that had little to do with the blockchain, but you were still be able to see some of FTXs balance movements on-chain, simply because they are forced to use ETH/BTC/FTT/etc. If we hadn't, FTX may have gotten away with what they're doing a lot longer. Nobody may have found out.

I think people might have noticed that customers could not withdraw funds, and the exchange declaring bankruptcy in any case.

That is not how I read it. I understood if you only have X people licensed as nurses you cannot hire X+Y people to be nurses where Y is greater than zero, even if you increase wages for all nurses.
You don't need to pay millions. But when you pay the minimum wage and exploit those people to the maximum, you get what you sowed. When they find a minimum wage job with better working conditions, they flee.
I have no idea. Obviously we get more heat from the sun than we generate on our own. That does not make your blanket assertion true.

The original question is a good one. We will use more energy as it gets cheaper (see monster trucks, Las Vegas, Dubai). We should be thinking of what we will do with the waste heat when everyone has a fusion reactor.

Limited part mean, it must be large enough to show, what You want, but no more.

>I think the rubicon was crossed when the acquirer insinuated that an executive who went to bat for him was a pedophile. The executive has had to go into hiding.

Musk's antics notwithstanding (which will blow up in his face, in all kinds of ways), Yoel Roth is a public individual coming out of a high-profile role, who played a very consequential role in events surrounding 2020 election and January 6th. Musk's antics and trolling isn't great for anyone, but there is a slightly different standard at play here when it comes to attacking a public individual versus a nameless engineer.

In this case, Musk dishonestly defamed Yoel Roth, but did not call for violence against him.

>There are lines that we shouldn’t cross in a civil society.

The current culture war is all about what those lines are. This isn't an easy answer.

And this notion of ascribing danger to speech that doesn't call for violence is itself .. well .. dangerous. When Steve Scalise was shot by a Bernie Sanders supporter in 2017, that followed weeks of Democratic post-election messaging that Trump and Republicans will cause thousands to die if Obamacare was repealed (Trump was vocal about repealing Obamacare). Was that dangerous language? Was that a line that was crossed? If you truly believe that a political action will result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, do you not take matters into your own hands? Or maybe we should have a standard where speech that doesn't call for violence, isn't a call for violence.
