If you think that's bad, I worked at a company that didn't always need your email address. Their customer sites would add their third-party cookie, so if you enter your email on any of their customer sites they could send you a cart abandonment email (I don't think you even had to SUBMIT your email, as it would be sent to the server as soon as it looked like a valid email). Fortunately I quit working for them once they started going down that evil route.
Telcos can still track their customers, and who knows which three-letter agencies can get all that data.

If you can only guess correctly half the time, then yes, it would apply to your scenario. But I don't think that's often the case with people who are seriously into collecting something. Chances are good that you know enough about what you're collecting to reasonably anticipate the things that will likely have more staying power.

Actually I was talking about covering indexes:

They can be used to speed up queries that have WHERE clauses, so I see it might have caused some confusion since partial indexes have WHERE clauses in the their definition.
This system just seems insane. Why allow people to temporarily buy their way out of jail? How is this not grossly unfair to the poor?
Right. Thanks for that thoughtful comment, now I remember epsilon and delta.

If we talk about rational numbers the 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 proof is not so bad, is it? Rational numbers can be expressed using repeated decimal notation.

I get this weird phenomenon you're describing to an extent - phantom sounds, like bass or low frequencies. I have used a bedside white noise machine turned to brown noise to block low frequency rumbling of loud trucks and bass music but it has this terrifying effect of making me think I hear low frequencies that aren't actually there. It's maddening.

Because Bytedance and similar orgs are merged with the CCP. So they pass data up the chain, and the CCP can make new rules, investments, and directives with it. This allows the CCP to accelerate with this data in ways that the US cannot.

So CCP gets full access to American residents, without reciprocating US social media actions within it, and then compels Bytedance to give it access.
Who knows. The responses people in the US get from Europeans on HN for things are just the absolute oddest. “Gasp! You still write checks?” Or “Gasp! You use credit cards?

From the article: "To be very clear, not only is the use of the term “American” not banned at Stanford, it is absolutely welcomed."

It's pretty clear to me that the above is not a true statement. If the term "American" is/was absolutely welcome, it would not have ended on the "do not use list". You can frame it as "not a ban", but it would not make it "absolutely welcomed".

This is a polite non-apology, non-admission, "sorry we put out something too early that we could not get away with right now, but we will try again soon" statement.

Replacing nuclear with coal is obviously a bad idea. But replacing it with hydro, wind, solar power is so much better.
Yes just as there is a clear link between nuclear weapons and rockets. Just as there is clear link between nuclear weapons and computers. Just as there is a link between nuclear weapons and a logistical network of ports/trains/roads.

Its almost like engineering is pretty universal and can be used many different ways.

A country that has no nuclear power, but is advanced in all the other fields of engineering could probably slap together a nuclear weapon within a few years if they really needed to.

So its pretty simply real, if you are an advanced industrial economy with lots of lots of engineering's, the science is there and you can just throw a lot of money on it.

Japan already has developed all the 'secret' technology needed and could spin up a program quickly, if they had nuclear reactor or not.
I recently checked whether an ugly hack I implemented years ago for 30% performance gains ("halve the default OpenMP thread count at start of computation and restore it afterwards" -> effectively, disable hyperthreading) was still necessary. It's now apparently a 3x performance gain... All because I'm saturating memory bandwidth. I don't know whether to be happy or sad...
It's like a bunch of people correctly predicted a few months ago that maybe this kind of attack surface shouldn't be added into the kernel: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28355754
isn't that covered by wrapping in double quotes?
From what I understand, yes. PBKDF2 is the algorithm that goes from password->key. This key is then used to encrypt the vault. Guessing the key itself is impossibly difficult. Attackers will instead try to guess the password, run their guess through several thousand rounds of PBKDF2, and attempt to use those keys to decrypt the vault.

The algorithm is designed to be run in iterations to be tunable. more rounds takes a lot longer. this makes for both a slower login, but also slower brute-force attempts for the attacker. The attacker can likely still generate guesses in parallel, but each individual password guess will take considerably longer against more iterations.

Lastpass changed the old default for a good reason. I'm surprised they didn't update all accounts to at least the new default.

> (mapcar 'list)

Thank you for sharing that, I didn't know that was possible.

I also tried just doing 'list at the repl, and sure enough it gets recognized as a function.

I thought I could break it by doing this:

(let ((list (list 1 2 3)))

(mapcar 'list list))

I even tried adding on (funcall 'list list) to that block and it still works the same as if I had used (funcall #'list list) ....

I guess it works because the list I bound in the LET isn't referenced as a symbol so FUNCALL etc can distinguish one as a symbol that has a function and the other as the name of a binding ...

Was not expecting these results, so I'll need to review symbols and namespaces ...

This is rewriting history.

Production moved to China because China began allowing foreign investment, and Chinese labor was cheaper. Foreign companies made their own decisions to take advantage of cheap Chinese labor.

This wasn't some sort of nefarious Chinese plot. The US also wanted China to open up to American investment.
The government and media can also just lie to people to influence their actions.

E.g. due to propaganda, people thought that Covid is 100x as deadly as it actually is (people estimated on average that infection fatality rate was 10%, when in reality it’s ~ 0.1%)
That wouldn't scale because each new set of printer dots would require a complete re-encode. You can find raw rips on the high seas, so anything less than hard-coded dots would just get stripped anyway. If you take rips from two sources, you could also just subtract one identical frame from another to isolate the dots and remove them.

There was a recent hackernews[1] post that talked about how great McMaster is.

Lots of good points here, on both sides of the hiring equation.

In a strong market, candidates have been able to shop around, get multiple offers (based on interest, comp, etc) and pick the best one for them. If for nothing else, it's useful to get multiple data points to understand the state of the market. Candidates should absolutely do this -- to make sure they're making the right decision based on the possible options out there.

We tell our founders that setting deadlines to accept an offer are not effective, especially given the above. It adds unnecessary stress to the situation, and it sets a bad tone for the relationship.

We also tell our founders to ask what timeline the candidate is looking at, and say when the company is hoping to make a decision. And if those don't align from the start, to note it upfront. (We also ask out founders to write one-pagers on their interview process, to communicate and set those expectations at the beginning of the process. That's fairly new, and taking some time to adopt, but we're working on it.)
> This is factually inaccurate; contracts are one area of, but not the basis of, common law.

Of course it isn't the entire basis of the law. However it lies in the fundamental of the entire common law institution: Common law originated from the feudal relationship in between the liege lord and the vassal contracting each other based on certain criteria. Over time, this concept was meshed with medieval customs and started being applied to the society as a whole. Hence the awkward medieval-feeling nature of the common law with all those 'precedents', 'interpretations' and 'agreements'.

> In common law, contracts don't trump other law, and contracts or provisions thereof can be invalid for being contrary to public policy.

Today. And mainly because the US combines common law and civil law in a meshed system. For the UK, its mainly because common law was basically unworkable and indefensible in the modern age after civil law became de facto standard in the entire world, setting the legal discourse. Still, the contractual concepts lies in the fundamental of the law as evidenced by the 'agreement' concept that is so extensively being utilized by US corporations.
The CCP doesn't have anything to do with it. TikTok would have to follow the rule, just like any other company.
There are also just some workloads that will saturate things. If you hit the mmap infrastructure hard enough on Windows you can saturate the kernel and your mouse cursor will stop moving, I managed to do it with a custom key/value store written in C# once I spun up enough threads hitting mapped files at once.

I would assume that on win10/11 (this was a while ago) it is harder to saturate a modern machine, though, especially if you lower the i/o priority of your process.
This book is on the wanted list for Standard Ebooks:

They do some modernisations of old timey phrases to make things easier to read, and some are semi-automatic, but I'm not sure exactly how far they go for this kind of thing.

However, if you're handy with git then it would be fairly simple to keep the changes in seperate commits, in the same way they keep their editorial changes seperate from typos and other fixes (because some people prefer the raw original text).
> You will get 2x speedups with hyperthreading when randomly accessing memory.

...unlesss you access so much memory (while doing relatively little compute on each piece) that hyperthreading just causes more cache invalidation.
Fair point.

Our goal as a society should be to maximize happiness, not maximize the number of people who are working.
I think the remotely hosted dependency problem and ecosystem thing is not that big of a deal all the time, but if the project involves atypical OS and architectures, then C makes sense. I think it’s still possible to do these in other languages, but that’s just another familiarity gap to add to the existing set.

For the remotely hosted dependency thing, I think it’s pretty easy to vendor dependencies in most realistic C contenders, and a really simple litmus test is just yanking your network cable and doing a fresh build.

The ecosystem thing can be a bigger deal, but again it really depends on the problem domain. There are lots of high quality, non-C libraries for C to always be a clear winner. I think it’s more important to take a step back and make sure whatever language you pick is well suited to the task, rather than assuming any individual one will always be. Knowing multiple languages is handy for this, since that’s more ecosystems that you can pick from, rather than just tying yourself to a single one.
Agreed that this should be a secondary consideration. A more advanced chat would be nice but not at the expense of video/audio. My main use for it (and would assume most users) is posting links like you mentioned.
I'd rather have 5x the power and find a few kilos somewhere else to save.

I did say that the networks are okay. In fact, I am arguing that the networks are even overcompensating for the weakness of optimisers. Neural nets are great even given that they are differentiable and we can propagate gradients through them without affecting the parameters.

I don’t think that this reply takes into consideration just how inefficient RL and the likes are. In fact, RL is so inefficient that current SOTA in RL is … causal transformers that perform in-context learning without gradient updates.

Depending on the approach one takes with RL, be it policy gradients or value networks, it still relies on gradient descent (and backprop).

Policy gradients are just increasing the likelihood of useful actions given the current state. It’s a likelihood model increasing probabilities based on observed random walks.

Value networks are even worse because one needs to derive not only the quality of the behaviour but also select an action.

Sure enough, alternative methods exist such as model based RL, etc, and for example ChatGPT use RL to train some value functions and learn how to rank options, but all of these rely on gradient descent.

Gradient descent, especially stochastic, is just garbage compared to stuff that we have for fixed functions that are not very expensive to evaluate.

With stochastic gradient descent, your loss landscape depends on the example or mini batch, so a way to think about it is that the landscape is a linear combination of all the training examples, but at any time you observe only some of them and cope that the gradient doesn’t mess up too bad.

But in general gradient descent shows linear convergence rate (cf Nocedal et al Numerical Opt, or Boyd and Vanderberghe’s proof where they bound the improvement of the iterates), and that’s a best case scenario (meaning non stochastic, non partial).

Second order methods can get quadratic convergence rate but they are prohibitly expensive for large models, or require hessians (good luck lol).

None of these though address limitations imposed by loss functions, eg needing exponentially higher values to increase a prediction optimised by cross entropy (see the logarithm). Nor do they address the bound on the information that we have about the minima.

So needing exponentially more steps (assuming each update is fixed in length) while relying on linear convergence is … problematic to say the list
Not sure if it's just age, or if it's truly a sign of times, but many of the friends I kept up with on social media -- and who are no longer active on social media (none of us are on Facebook) -- are nearly impossible to keep up with in real life either. It feels like digital communication has been completely abandoned by my social cohorts. And with no one wanting to talk on the phone... or message via texts, it's hard not to feel that the social media / digital lifestyle tribulations have negated the "keep in touch" proclivities of a certain subset of people.
So you're admitting that basically this entire sector of the economy is a monoculture, but downplaying that there's any negative systemic bias cause that's somehow just a deterministic function of geography.
