Source? Proofs? Sorry, for me this looking as just Your opinion.

This is just not important at all now. That what I mean, said You don't understand physics.

- NOWHERE at Earth possible to recreate exact radiation environment of Jupiter orbit for YEARS, need to test radiation capable computer environment for space probes.

What really doing? After first probes measured parameters of environment, at Earth built test benches, consisting of few throttle-able sources, so they give approximate spectrum, very like near Jupiter, but could do year dose in few hours and could easy be switched off, to make manipulations with tested samples.

So now, I even know guys, who touched exposed chips and running real world software on them, and real computers in Jupiter/Mars missions, working much longer than need for mission (BTW, first samples tested at Earth, where not reliable).

Okay, I think I understand. What you're saying is that the rate of criminal activity related to this payment medium is sufficiently high that the cost of total surveillance of all financial transactions is justified.

Where I take issue with this is where you call for "the same standard as everything else". The surveillance of cryptocurrency right now is actually very pervasive.

I've seen the theft of millions of dollars in fraudulent wire transfers (I mean 1M+ per incident) in the traditional banking system over and over and over again, no cryptocurrency involved whatsoever. And contrary to what people often say, it's not actually an option for victims to reverse such transactions.

Thus, I personally doubt this surveillance is effective in preventing theft. We are better off spending the resources to harden against these attacks in the first place. I don't think it's worth it overall to engage in the pervasive surveillance of cryptocurrency or traditional bank transactions, unless the goal is something else, such as collecting more taxes or preventing flight of capital, which is what I believe the real fear about cryptocurrency is.

And notwithstanding the above, I have to ask, is it really a good idea to presume guilt and require permission for people to transact with each other in a general sense? And if you do believe this is for the greater good, why not expand the scope of it? Why not put cameras in all of our homes? We have the technology to implement this now, so why not?

OK, I'll make an exception for Emacs users. And Lisp users, them as well seeing how as both sort of fit in the same pews. Apple also has attracted a pious crowd so they also get an exception, especially given the sacrifices which its followers make, the regular pilgrimages to the Holy Store where the latest sacrament is purchased.
It's entirely true, though. If you can deliver good work, on time, integrating well with your team (as applicable), then no one cares what tools you used or generally how you did it. It might be very important to you, and you can absolutely spend time on getting your setup right for you, but you should not make the mistake of thinking that anyone else cares.

> it's time that's not spent doing actual research

Actual research includes keeping up to date with peers progress.

If you were doing research but not regularly reading new publications anyway, either you were working on a less-fundamental-research side of things, or, without even realising it, you were exploring directions already explored or losing time by not profiting from a new useful approach.

It is just incorrect to say that the time used to read carefully a peer paper is taken over the time of doing research: if you were not peer-reviewing this paper, you maybe would have been reading carefully the same paper in order to keep up to date with your peers.

In fact, one can lose its time peer-reviewing, but its their own fault: in general, you just need to target the review for articles that are useful for you to read anyway.
We (https://wundergraph.com) do exactly this, API integration with GraphQL as the integration layer. Integrating APIs is messy. It could require custom middleware, etc... Glueing something together is the easy part. How do you mock it? How do you test it? Add custom logic? Doing it at the API layer allows you to seamlessly scale your serverless workloads. Doing all this work in the database means that we're eating up resources for tasks that the database is not designed to do. Just because FDW exists doesn't mean we should use it for this use case.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that GE, at the time, saw computing like electrical power or tap water and wanted to deliver mainframe time sharing to people's terminal through high speed connections. They even asked the bell lab guys to write multics for that (which Thompson and Ritchie parodied with Unix).

They basically imagined the "cloud" 50 years too early.
Shrug. I used to work in a lab where they talked about it happening. Purely anecdotal
I'm not sure that humans are going to beat AI in terms of defect rate in software, especially given that with AI you produce code at a fast enough rate that corner cutting (like skipping TDD) often done by human developers is off the table.

I don't think this is going to put developers out of work, however. Instead, lots of small businesses that couldn't afford to be small software companies suddenly will be able to. They'll build 'free puppies,' new applications that are easy to start building, but that require ongoing development and maintenance. As the cambrian explosion of new software happens we'll only end up with more work on our hands.
Ultimately spam takes over. There was a model for email whereby senders have to pay to send, I think MS had some papers on this. They never implemented it. I do wonder if a pay to post model could tame the spam and all the BS. That money could be used to fund the network, because nothing is free and it's time we all embrace that reality.

Minus 2 percent inflation would be closer to the "Fed target" than the recent 7-8% we have been experiencing. The idea that many of you are trying to push, that deflation of any kind is a guaranteed financial disaster, that's the hyperbole that ought to be suppressed.

What irks me about this question is that it is almost utterly unrelated to any type of development task, save one: pipelining a repeated math equation in a long loop. And even then, I would bet the time it takes to swap two registers (or even L1 cache) using a third would far outperform the three operations needed because of the fact that they are sequential in nature (ie: they cannot be performed simultaneously by even an advanced CPU).

In nearly 30 years of diverse coding experience, I've never once encountered a situation where this solution would be useful.
I also expect a lot of them don't think about where the power in their car's charging station comes from.

If you check their about page they do say they're using Griffin-Lim.

It's definitely a useful approach as an early stage in a project since Griffin-Lim is so easy to implement. But I agree that these days there are other techniques that are as fast or faster and produce higher quality audio. They're just a lot more complicated to run than Griffin-Lim.
Rich people think they deserve special accommodation when in fact, they deserve less.
I agree that rendering engine alone won't move the needle. Users may care about features though: PWAs and extensions that don't need to go through the app store review process are the big ones.

> The means of production (AI, robots and land) will be transferred to the people who will all receive basic income, free services and (if they want) jobs created by the government for the greater good.

This is a prediction?

Given human nature and the diversity of people (w.r.t. rationality, religiosity, morality, capability, and so on), it is very much an open question about (a) how AI capabilities will develop; (b) how they will be paid for... (c) and by whom; (d) to whom will benefits accrue; (e) how will society change.

These are broad, sweeping questions. Plenty of fodder for imagination, hope, transformation, cynicism, backsliding, or even despair.

If I were to make a bet, on our current trajectory, I see some key factors in tension:

1. educational quality, in absolute terms, increasing _and_ being more equitable

2. educational quality, in relative terms, continuing to be very unequal and probably getting more so. As one example, who has the resources to direct computationally intensive AI experiments? There are (and probably will be for a long time) gatekeepers for these resources. People that mix in this circles have a huge advantage. This makes me wonder if "exclusivity leads to inequality" is a saying from some philosopher.
Author here. Nice comparison. By default (and the released) APPerl binaries do not self-modify (they use the non-self modifying ape loader) however on unix-like they install the APE loader to`$HOME/.ape`and use that ELF executable to run the APE. To skip the fork+exec to the ape loader, they can be assimilated with `--assimilate`, that does turn the APE executable into ELF.

There is a kernel patch to add APE (Actually Portable Executable) support to Linux removing the need for the the apeloader or assimilating. I'm not sure what the status is on that.
Wow, this is so much worse than the other one, that looks like it was made in 2003. Hilarious.

It's probably been discussed already, and I'm sure I'll get counterarguments about it, but I think having color images of their products wouldn't be a distraction.

The GILectomy project was able to maintain thread safety on refcounting while (mostly) preserving performance by basically using some clever flags in the refcount to signal specific lifetimes/ownership (simplification for brevity). So you have good performance when the thread owns a reference while preserving safety for shared objects.

The smaller problem is this does at a small amount of overhead even to single-threaded performance. The gilectomy project improved performance elsewhere so net performance is close to the same.

The bigger problem would be integrating this strategy with all the libraries that rely on existing GIL behavior.
Yes of course you are right, we don't know anything yet I agree. I am speculating a lot here.
But I'm a believer in "intelligence as a commodity" as Sam Altman put it after seeing GPT3.5 so I think points 1 and 2 will be reality. 3 follows quite naturally to me but only in Western societies... Putin will have different ideas.

Anyway speculating is fun but you're right its just speculating. My main point is we should always keep in mind this could turn out to be great .
So your conclusion should be: peer-reviewing is working, but some people are not using it right.

You then need to assess exactly what is this percentage of still being published despite having things wrong in it. If this percentage is small, peer-reviewing is still more profitable then no peer-reviewing at all (in which 100% of the bad papers are published).
Ask HN: What are the methods you've used to monitize your technical blog?
I have been maintaining a technical blog for about 3 years. But I wasn't comfortable monetizing it. It brought me job opportunities and gigs.

But I was curious to know if anyone has monetized technical blogs.
I feel like we already have

I have gotten jobs off of HN, started organizations with people I met here, hired people from posts, argued and agreed and flamed and shared ....all the stuff you do with social networks

It's just that this network minimizes the "personality" driven aspects of social networks because it's not driven to optimize profit or engagement. It's seemingly driven to optimize for civility. I think that's why we have the longevity we do.

I've been kicking around on here since 2012 and I only recognize a handful of handles when I see them post and honestly it makes very little difference because the goal is to evaluate the argument.

The new Thread protocol (part of Matter) is basically Zigbee on steroids which gets it up to parity with Z-wave. The reason to choose Z-wave over Thread is that Z-wave works now and has many devices available to buy, while Thread works in theory and the devices are very few in number. Thread devices are due out in force next year. So this actually is perfect timing for Z-wave to make this move now, right as the first wave of Thread devices are approaching.
There have been some attempts at doing this, some of which have been moderately successful. But fundamentally you still have the problem that from the NN's perspective, it's relatively easy for it to learn the magnitude but very hard for it to learn the phase. So it'll guess rough sizes for the real and imaginary parts, but it'll have a hard time learning the correct ratio between the two.

Models which operate directly on the time domain have generally had a lot more success than models that operate on spectrograms. But because time-domain models essentially have to learn their own filterbank, they end up being larger and more expensive to train.
Apparently, the sexism is rampant in here.

How many kids haven’t gotten their shots because one rotten paper made it through peer review and got stamped with the scientific seal of approval?

The point is not to prevent it from getting out there in the first place — that is already possible, you can just upload a PDF to some website. Doing that for a paper arguing 1+1=3 wouldn't be any more accepted if peer review's role would be limited.

Humidity definitely plays a part in my preferences but where I live there are 100 degree temperature swings and interacting with the elements outside leads to (for me) more extremes inside.

When I get back from a run in August at near heatstroke levels I will almost never cool down if it's not set on the "chilly" side. Conversely, in winter when heatstroke is replaced with near frostbite I am chilled to the core and need much higher heat to ever warm up.
For other artist cases the corpus can include many images that includes a description with phrases like "inspired by Banksy". Then the model can learn to generate images in the style of Banksy without having any copyrighted images by Banksy in the training set.

The Mickey Mouse case though is obviously bs, the training data definitely does just have tons of infringing examples of Mickey Mouse, it didn't somehow reinvent the exact image of him from first principles.
AI makes it easier and more reliable as I have already stated. We are going around in circles here so I am going to stop responding.
Attempts at tidal power extraction in the Bay of Fundy have failed because the turbines broke, every time.

Attaching a simple float to a cable and pulley turning a generator onshore seems not to have occurred to them.

Numerous (i.e. all) wave energy startups have likewise gone bust trying to keep machinery working exposed to maritime weather. It seems never to occur to them to keep the stuff that would need attention onshore and indoors.
People have tried that, but the model essentially learns to discard the phase channel because it is too hard for it to learn any useful information from it.
That seems like it's likely been trained on various examples of FAANG questions that are posted to the likes of leetcode, with solutions often presented. The push for harder version was clever, and that it fell over is no real surprise.
Depends on the system, AFAIK. Modern consoles have so much disk bandwidth that compression is completely unnecessary, but PS5 and Xbox both have APIs for streaming and decompressing compressed assets. I haven't seen any titles using them, and it's doubtful that we'll reach a point where it's required with modern systems.

That being said, compression would be an interesting avenue to explore for SD cards and SATA drives. The performance add can be pretty marginal, but sometimes that's just what these drives need.
We took a look at encoding phase, but it is very chaotic and looks like Gaussian noise. The lack of spatial patterns is very hard for the model to generate. I think there are tons of promising avenues to improve quality though.

Driveline is the cutting edge of baseball/softball hitting and baseball pitching.

It's fun stuff for a data geek.

Mocap is a step beyond what I want to do with young athletes but having a data-driven approach is a coaches dream. Measure things that matter, build a constraint-based training environment, and let exterior outcomes shape players.
The thing with programming is that it either works or does not work, but there is a huge window of what can be called art.

With no training, I, or even a 1 year old, could make something and call it art. I wouldn't claim it's very good but I think most people would accept it as art. The same cannot be said for programming.
