In my youth, I was familiar with the facility that came before NIF, built in the 70's the goal at the time was to use a smaller target to demonstrate that the foundational principles that would underpin the success of NIF would work. As far as I know, they never succeeded. NIF was built anyway because this type of device is well suited to allowing access to certain types or demonstrations of physics that are otherwise unaccessible and important in a specific field of research not directly related to the flourishing of our race.

The article is old news before it was written. The article mentions the previous 'success' (yield was higher than previous experiments), and that was over a year ago now. They haven't been able to reproduce the previous experiment even knowing as precisely as they can what they perceive to be the preconditions necessary for an effective reaction. It also seems that this article was written about a single experiment. They will not be able to intentionally repeat the experiment. The manner in which they're exploring the pareto front is like groping in the dark to find a light switch that has an unknown texture and conformation. It's a classic monte-carlo simulation but they have one iteration every several weeks or months, and they cannot even possibly identify all the controlling parameters, nor do they have the necessary throughput or bandwidth to succeed in their pursuit without windfall.

The low hanging fruit providing the basic harmonics of the solution were discovered well before I was even introduced to this technology (in the 70's and 80's. Coincidentally around the moment of the genesis of many of our modern treaties on weapons testing).

You are overly optimistic, a 40-60% increase in nearly nothing is still nearly nothing. The PR campaign around this event is I think more significant in its political convenience, and in white washing the purpose of the facility. There are significant discoveries that still need to be made to even make the reactions consistent, and they will not come conveniently or quickly. Once the reactions are better understood and the mechanisms can be manipulated with intent the distance between the science and a practical industry / commercial product will require even more hurdles that stretch the imagination to be overcome. For instance I cannot conceive of a practical mechanism for actually utilizing any fraction of the massive amount of energy released in a fraction of a second in a chaotic murder of wavelengths and particles. The most practical way we've yet discovered for converting neutrons to electricity is through boiling water. Grossly inefficient in other contexts, I'm not sure that has even marginal utility in this scope.

I for one am 100% sure I barely know what I'm talking about. My disclaimer is that I'm not a physics guy, and high energy density physics was only a hobby of mine at one brief point in my life. Through perspicacity and access to papers and people, this is my honest mental model of the whole thing. You're welcome to your perspective, but although you seem well informed you sound very inexperienced.
Construction began in 2007 and its moving along according to schedule.

Exactly. Dependency hell is easy to avoid by avoiding dependencies. Modern JS with modules and classes is really good for simple projects, esp. prototypes that don't have to work everywhere. No framework, no special utilities that all have their quirks. And no packaging either. Much, much simpler this way.

Ludwig's fan interaction is still too para-social IMO, despite him trying to step away from it.
In some sense Sykkyno would be a better example who actually distances himself really away from over interactions with fans and seems really in control of his life.
I had considered this approach but the nature of AoC means it rewards real world time to solution rather than and kind of computation time, and a naive solution still runs fast enough that it more than makes up in time spent programming it.

There's actually whole classes of problems which would be more interesting if the naive solution wasn't fast enough, for example even on day 7 (or was it 8?) naively exploring to every edge from every square would be O(N^3) but still execute just fine.

I'm a couple of days behind but so far this year hasn't yet had lanternfish style problems where the naive solution blows up completely, but hopefully they will come as they are a lot more interesting.
Sorry to be that guy, but this is exactly why lawyers and IP protection were invented.

As a hacker, I hate that these are needed. As a member of society that tries to be considerate and respectful of others, this seems like a ridiculous and wateful overhead.

However, as a realist with some experience in being brain-raped by a bigger company, unfortunately you need to protect yourself from the people that aren't nice or don't care.
NPM bad. Insert other ecosystem good.
They automatically convert most stablecoins (though very notably not Tether) into BUSD upon depositing. Then if you withdraw some USDP/TUSD/USDC/maybe some others I'm not remembering, they'll subtract it from your BUSD balance.

FTX did something similar, though they just auto-converted them to and from fiat USD (again, notably, not applying this policy to Tether).
I never did understood the relaxation behind pulling new code into your project from external sources.
Quite a few people want to borrow stable coins and are prepared to do so at interest.
A brief retrospective on transactional memory (2010)
I work in a smallish company (around 150 employees I believe) and we recently went through this career framework development and standardisation and as part of that we came up with standard levels and titles across the company but we had to make an exception for our USA office. They would all still have the standard titles internally for pay bands, career progression etc but because of customer expectations, everyone had to be a VP of this or Senior VP of that where VP elsewhere in the company was a very senior position. Kinda funny really.

I have recently found the MAX78000 MCU which has some nice features that can be used for recognising trigger words (but also object recognition etc.) I have ordered the feather board to try it, but haven't had the opportunity to test it, yet. From a cost point of view, the STMs are certainly cheaper, but the MAX should have a lot more performance for doing tasks besides the word recognition.
I have done full poweroff(8) before each DE test.

I did not configured them to start.

For some reason these DEs started them - do not ask me why - ask these DEs creators.

Packages on FreeBSD are rather 'vanilla' - only ported to work properly on FreeBSD - so its pointless to ask FreeBSD port maintainers here.

The only thing I configured to start were in FreeBSD main /etc/rc.conf config file:

% cat /etc/rc.conf

I think the majority of people have the same experience with screens. There's something inherently distracting about reading anything long on a screen. Idly drifting to easy dopamine-hit activities is perfectly normal. Also pro tip, send anything long to your Kindle to read.

I'm not saying ADHD isn't real, just that environment-induced distractions aren't it.
The government isn't 'meddling' with Binance, Binance is under the spotlight because it appears that keeping reserves is a bit of a weak point with all of these new finance companies. If anything you should be grateful that there (finally) is some oversight, but I fear it is too little and too late.
Well I really showed myself up as commenting on a topic that I know nothing about! :-)

But that's actually ideal in this context, a really low precedence operator is exactly what you want because you can swap `unless` for `if not` without worring about extra parentheses:

I recently started using intelliJ's datagrip. For some reason, it stores its metadata in xml files, 150Mb or so per database. One postgres DB cluster it actually refuses to index unless I select only some of the DBs in it. Mind you, these databases are not particularly big, e.g. 17GB for the cluster it doesn't want to index.

When it starts up, it loads all this metadata in memory. You feel the laptop being slow for a minute or so. After that, its mostly a good tool. Once in a while, it indexes something and grants you another coffee break.

I keep wondering, why XML? If you build this much metadata, wouldn't it make a lot more sense to store it in a database itself, and only load what you need from it? Say sqlite or h2 or something.
I'm not sure why that's worth remembering, outside of interest in etymology, considering how frequently fan is used to mean "someone who likes something" rather than fanatic.
Creation or redemption of USDC for USD need to interact with the banking system.

But movements of USDC need no interaction with the banking system, so there should be no need to pause them.
> by mature and stable ecosystems, such as Python...

Nothing I experienced in the JS ecosystem so far was as nearly as painful as the over a decade-long transition from python2 to python3, and now python3 has the same 'move fast and break things' mindset. It's kinda infuriating for use cases where python2 was more than good enough.
Yep. Lack of realistic prospect of cooperation working and the asymmetry are key here. I don't think any option either or both of them can take will save Sam, but Sam could possibly save Caroline from the most serious charges by taking full responsibility for the decision to transfer FTX customer funds to Alameda (except I suspect there are other issues with Alameda's compliance they could still nail her for)

Caroline's option to save Caroline regardless of what Sam does by testifying looks a lot better.

How many Linux users are buying high end GPUs exclusively for gaming, as opposed to for compute or ML with gaming as a nice bonus. At least for me it doesn't really matter how fast these cards are for gaming, if I cannot also use them for work and/or my other hobbies I cannot justify buying one. I suspect I'm not alone in that. Hopefully we'll start getting relevant benchmarks for this soon

>Highly trained people handled the company’s incoming telephone and online inquiries

Not sure I can agree with this. Almost a decade ago we had some shared hosting accounts at Rackspace for some very legacy clients (ones that even accounting had forgotten about and not billed them for years). We had an issue with accessing one of the databases to export for handover, and so I got in touch with their online support. They gave me full admin access to their database server which had several hundred other clients on there. I could also see the historical metrics for the server which were interesting. I told them immediately but it took them almost a day to revoke my access.
Ask HN: Why reusing e2e tests output is bad?
I understand that the consensus is that each test should be independent in order to avoid side effects affecting other tests, but consider the following scenario.

I have n features f_1, ..., f_n. Each of them requires other features (a subset of them) to be executed in order to test the ith f_i. For each feature there is an end to end test t_i, which executes the corresponding feature and its dependencies and then makes some assertions on the feature under test.

Argument: the all set of test executions is a boolean expression t_1 AND ... AND t_n. So, for each t_i, we can describe it as f_i AND f_j AND ... for each dependency f_j of feature f_i, because if a dependency fails, the all test fails (it can't arrive to evaluating its assertions).

So the whole test execution could be represented as a BDD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_decision_diagram) and reduced. Basically when I make a test, i reuse the output of a previous test which encompasses all the dependencies of the feature under test, for which assertions have already passed. Of course this means tests should have a precise scheduling order.

What's wrong with my idea? Thanks for the dedicated time.
This guy is making a great work.
How are those useful when it is likely that the copycats are in a different country?
I agree it is editorialising, at the same time this has been a set pattern so far: first temporarily halt withdrawals, then come back with some bs excuse that the money is gone (blame the hacker, bad investments, loans, whatever) and go into bankruptcy.

In some horribly twisted way, it might make sense?

If BUSD is a “safe” stable coin backed by real, liquid, currency in a binance bank account (lots of IFs), it might make more sense as accounting than storing it as USDC stored in another company’s bank account, in that other company’s country. If that company makes bad decisions, it could impact binances customers. Especially after FTX and prior stablecoin fiascos, storing customers funds in your own bank seems prudent.

If binance can soft-real-time mint USDC during bank hours, then any conversion can be done by a regular-banking wire transfer. All they need is some pre-minted reserves for off-hours.

Orrrrrrr they’re playing games with customers funds and hiding it in their own coffers. In which case BUSD is backed by a lie. FTX is familiar.
One of the transactions carries more risk. Risk has a cost.

I don’t mean to defend credit card companies, but it’s not as black and white either.
The Act that regulates the title 'architect' contained a specific clause that says "(2) Subsection (1) does not prevent any use of the designation "naval architect", "landscape architect" or "golf-course architect"."

I think it's pretty safe to say that software architect would have been included in that carve-out if it was written today, and the ARB says: "We take a common sense approach to the use of ‘architect’ that isn’t connected to building and design, for example with ‘software architect’ or ‘systems architect’ which are increasingly used by the computer and IT industry." https://arb.org.uk/architect-information/what-we-do-to-regul...

Since the only way it is regulated is by the ARB bringing action against a person, their decision to ignore software architects is pretty final.

Meh, I feel a little like this is dunking on Javascript for the sake of dunking on Javascript. Ever done the same with a PHP app? Go? Python?! They all have issues with versioning and this is why there are a good set of tools to deal with it - pyenv/nvm etc. It's like they've listed all the good reasons to use JS and then kicked it because it's cool to hate on JS.

Hi, I am Darren, and I love JS - I will no longer be ashamed by it.
I highly recommend the Geany IDE as well, it's very simple and lightweight, but still has conveniences like an integrated terminal if you like, automatic state saving, etc. Best IDE in my humble opinion!

I left for a couple of years for Windows desktop and Android native development, turns out that the GUI civil wars at Microsoft, and the whole Java vs Kotlin vs AndroidX vs JetPack vs NDK being like a 10% project, are even worse than dealing with Web quirks.

So even though I rather do native development, here we are back at the Web and distributed computing.

Even with a middle of the line laptop from 2017, IntelliJ is not that bad.

Disable extra plugins, do not hesitate to mark directories as 'excluded' if you don't need them to pop up in search (especially build directories), and be patient during the 5-10 minutes indexing when you switch to a new project (which should not happen often) is more than enough to get very good perfs.
It bought them a few days stay of execution. You can move a lot of money around in that time.
Updating is fine… bash for example keeps having new versions and new features.

However this doesn't mean that we must fix every bash script every 6 months because of a bash update.

I wish for large international ponzi schemes to cease to be, preventing further influx from people who don't know better. For those already in the ponzi scheme there's little that can be done to convince them they're in a ponzi scheme, or cult.

People lose their money on many things, hard earned or otherwise, regardless wishing that avenues which are designed to facilitate such losses cease to exist is not mean spirited.
If one of the factors is widely known, it's effectively not two-factor anymore.
This is all predicated on them having the money in the first place. That may well not be the case.
I used to scoff to the language impurity and no operator overloading. Ocaml always felt like a beaten ML, always second in class compared to haskell.

As usual, superficial views completely change when you actually start using the language. I never did anything mayor (1yr+dev) on it. I only contributed to existing projects and some small personal ones. I found it more pleasant to use compared to haskell (ghc effectively), less surprising, and and a lot more practical.

Combined with a live repl, it feels very close to how I normally work with lisp. In fact, I actually find it ambivalent compared to julia for explorative work and there's a lot of interesting and recent work being pushed to opam regarding this (dataframe/sci/numerical plotting libraries).

It's old, and thus less sexy/marketable.

I don’t use a blue light filter (my insomnia isn’t severe, but I’ve definitely been diagnosed). There is a palpable difference for me reading before bedtime with light text on a black background instead of black text on white. The gist of my comment was that the blue filter doesn’t matter. In fact, I’m sure the white text is emitting blue light. The point is that the total lumens is much more critical.

My experience has been widely anecdotally backed up in casual conversation in my life (including by a sleep specialist). The blue light stuff is a marketing ploy in my opinion. I’m mentioning blue light repeatedly because you highlighting this makes it seem like I failed to communicate my point. Dark mode, however, is universally a godsend (see “anecdotal evidence” acknowledgement).

Perhaps you’re not a reader? As an insomniac, the only excuse for not reading to fall asleep is ADHD or other focus problems. It’s too ideal a solution for insomnia not to be acknowledged in this context. Please forgive my inflammatory tone, but I tend to doubt you having severe insomnia (coupled with routine in-patient/out-patient sleep studies, medication, etc.) and not being able to follow the flow of my communication here. Having a hard time falling asleep and being diagnosed with severe insomnia are very different.
