I am really surprised at the reaction on HN. So what's the state of things, open racism is fine so long as you are a really smart programmer? Please educate me on what I am missing here, it seems everyone is in agreement that this person is racist and hosted repos reflecting their views and not just HN but Github are ok with this. I am honestly asking here, my understanding has to be wrong right? If so what am I missing? My earlier comments praising GH were downvoted even though I included a link to the whitesonly rimworld mod repo. Has the makeup of the HN community changed that much?
PSTN is the telephone network, not internet. If you want to replicate dialup, get a prepaid wireless card or a cheap subscription.
We're allegedly going to see this in 2H '23. The 2 CU iGPU performance is about half of a 5600/5700g, so if we see an 8-12 CU model...it could completely replace the low-mid market for gpus.
Of course, it was entirely hearsay, but I've always heard that non-competes were unenforceable and primarily a scare tactic. It's yet to impact me tangibly, and I understand the need to protect IP, but I don't think non-competes are the way to go about it. I believe this is the right move!
A realistic path to a better relationship between Britain and the EU
As far as I can see, choosing to become a founder in YC and succeeding at it requires a bit of desire for the limelight.
The honest headline:

Let's define "long haulers" as those exhibiting system after Y months.

The percentage of long haulers is 0.25 <= X <= 1.

We need to replace 0.75 with

0 <= 1 - (X / 0.25) <= 0.75
I greatly prefer this distributed enforcement. I contrast this to Musk's banning of journalists.
Anecdotally, it seems to me HR employees are akin to "Party Members" / "Card Carrying Members" of a communist country (forgive the analogy). Usually very zealous about the company, usually have drunk the kool-aid, usually believe all of the lore and the promulgated principles / company guidelines. I'd think the head of state for a communist country would fear most the zealous card-carrying member, vs the apathetic proletariat. The zealous card-carrying member is the most likely to become disaffected once the illusion fades.

edit: seems I wasn't the first to make this connection (beaten by 4 minutes)
Not only is HR incentivized to defend the company over its employees whenever possible, but I think it's a position that attracts psychopaths. Being in HR takes no extraordinary talent whatsoever, yet HR has massive power over the destiny of individuals. They get to decide whether you have a chance at landing a job you want, make your rent next month, whether a coworker who bullies you gets to keep their job, and so forth. There's good HR people out there, but I've seen a substantial number of dumb, ego-tripping, completely unhelpful HR people as well. If you've got nothing going for you and you have an inferiority complex then HR is for you because you can take out your frustration by deleting resumes that use present participle instead of past participle.
That's not really how it works. Eating a good diet (yes, including protein) and having a good exercise routine and executing both strictly for a number of years can lead to have a good natural body. That does not lead to having a body like Thor though.

Not to mention that makeup, specific lighting, timed pumps and short term dieting tricks can be used for movies. How an actor looks on the day of a shoot isn't how they walk around looking.
"root screens" have a specific meaning and significance on mobile so I can understand the confusion, I agree that the article was not clear.
>It definitely causes harm.

That is your opinion. It has no basis in reality.

>Excess is harmful in everything, including porn.

You can't have it both ways and just spit out "porn causes harm" but then say "excess of anything is bad".

Sure, excess of porn (like anything else) is bad. But porn itself is not harmful at all. If you are going to say otherwise, you have absolutely nothing to back it up. Yeah, go google some randomly study that says it is and there are a billion more to dispute that.

Plus, if you really think watching porn is "bad", well holy shit then nearly everyone in the world is at great harm because believe it or not almost everyone watches porn.
Most interestingly, I can't see the top answer (by mikuszefski) as anything mathematical, it just looks like body parts. Quite odd.
Yark: Advanced and easy YouTube archiver now stable
I've been working on polishing my YouTube archiver project for the last while and I've finally released a solid version of it, it has an offline web viewer/visualiser for archived channels and it's managed using a cli. Most importantly, its easy to use :)
It's a blogging platform. A bit like medium.
Unlike P/E cores you can't handle this generically, because the performance delta is workload-dependent. For E cores you can more or less just punt "background tasks" on them and pull tasks that are using a significant amount of CPU to the P cores.

With X3D vs non-X3D cores which one is going to be faster depends on the workload. Most games benefit (sometimes drastically so), a lot of other stuff doesn't / is slower roughly in proportion to the clock reduction - just look at the 5800X and 5800X3D of the prior generation to see how split the benchmarks are; virtually every synthetic benchmark and most intensive things - compiling, encoding, running JS and other interpeters - suffer, games win.

I suppose a good heuristic for desktop users would be to pin processes using the GPU to the X3D cores.
When I look at the last decade of my employment, my base salary is less than 10% of my overall comp. Maybe even 5%.

For high demand folks (the kind we read about in executive emails between Apple and Google and so on) it seems very possible that a company would opt to pay 10% of the employee's comp to deny them from the competition.
I accept that lots of folks don't and won't get this, but one specific problem I think is intractable via traditional means is: Actual computer security.
It's understandable that you're having a hard time imagining it because you live in a car-centric society, but "most of the world" is objectively wrong here.

There are roughly 1.4bn cars in the world for 7.8bn people... so most people get around without one.

You can see it if you travel a bit, in India and China you'll see families getting around on bikes and scooters. Over 1/3 of the Dutch use a bike as their primary means of transportation. People often cite weather as a reason not to, but if the Finnish can regularly use bikes to get around (another European country with high bike use)... nearly anyone can.
I completely agree. You can certainly have it at all sizes and the runaway of feature creep usually ends up in over hiring.
And also, I get that it's subjective, but the Model Y does not look anything resembling "good" to me. It's like a weird futuristic Aztek. It's not attractive.

> not being able to trust other datatypes to enforce type constraints is not ideal

You can have more reasonable behaviour now by creating tables as "strict"[1], in which SQLite will fail if it can't perform a valid conversion. For storing values of arbitrary type it makes available a new "any" type instead.

> if you don't actually have a varchar 40 type, and you just have something that's text-like without other more specific constraints, then call it 'text'

It is in fact called text, it just supports aliases for common ways of specifying text fields in other DBs. However, "strict" tables to the rescue again; they also disable type names other than the native ones.

I've been continually amazed, since more and more of the general population has become represented on the internet, how few people do care about free speech. Belief in freedom of speech seems to be a fringe position that's somehow managed to stay in the US legal system in spite of depressingly overwhelming opposition.

Yes the Iranian Navy can pester a commercial ship here and there. They can't blockade the entire Hormuz street and even if they ramped up those seizures too much, they'd draw an international response they wouldn't like. Iran can't want a shoot out with the US in any form...

It was meant as a joke based on the "tangled web of legal nightmares" part and the often written questions/inquiries about the legality of AI generated content. That said, not sure what your point is. It's pretty straightforward from GP that the issue mentioned is about the code licensing rather the content.
Even with swap, 8gb is pretty paltry on a memory-hungry system like MacOS, let alone a system that shares GPU and system memory. 16gb is the minimum for me even though I really only edit/compile code, and even then it can be pretty easy to max out your system memory after a couple docker containers...

It might not be a 'trick' per-se, but anyone who intends to use a Mac for work should consider upgraded memory (IMO).
Skepticism about Loneliness Epidemic
Ok, there aren't tests. That doesn't mean there aren't ways to assess this, though: Fatigue plagues many diseases, especially chronic diseases and especially auto-immune disorders. Memory issues are similar, especially brain fog. We do have some measure of what is "normal" for most folks, and questions we can ask to assess this sort of thing.

You ask things about getting through the work day, how far one can walk without taking a break or nap, if they can get housework done, if a shower means that a nap is soon to come. You ask about cooking, whether or not they are forgetting everyday stuff that the rest of us don't have much issue with, and other such things.

It isn't like folks are complaining about being a little tired, but rather more like the sort of fatigue that means you have to take a break while chopping onions and you might have to recover after taking a shower. You might not get your housework done even if that's all you have to do.
I don't think that makes them conspiring or evil. Just pragmatic.

"We have tens of billions and tens of decades invested in 'perfecting' ICE. This is a huge upheaval" is an attitude I'd expect any of them to take (while still recognizing they need to see where the market is heading and planning for that).

I bought one of the parts on amazon and got a version that had either desynced audio or subtitles. It seemed like a speed mismatch as it got worse as the movie went on.

Wow thanks very much for your response!

I have this. What carrier provides this metadata in the SIP headers? AT&T doesnt. I used to be able to obtain ANI/RPID fields on our circuit switched lines, but I get very limited metadata now. What do I need to ask for?

I understand the implications of this type of blocking, and I give absolutely zero fucks. I should have more ability to determine whether or not I want to take the call traffic or not.

IANAL but I had (kinda unconsciously) assumed that what can be protected by trade secrets was broader than what patents protect (patents merely implementations - which might be broad.) So I'd like to know more; though I wouldn't be shocked (now that I think about it) if you're quite right.

In any case, even if the employee refuses to work on a given task, that's information. Having to say: "Yeah, I think you want somebody else to design that particular part" (implying "because they'll be freer to innovate and free to choose the optimal solution") is a big fat clue that could attract a lot of resources to the design of that part.

> Well if all companies are doing it, employees will have no option other than to agree.

If all employees rejected them, companies would have no option but to disband them.

The issue is that when one enters into a non-compete without equivalent compensation the government loses potential tax revenue. Income tax is maximized when workers are working most productively, so there is a strong incentive for the government to keep workers working productively. Similar reason for why we have minimum wage.

If non-competes provide sufficient "garden leave" then the tax revenue should not be impacted, so there is no reason for the government to care. The productivity is still captured. The government isn't in the business of spotting bad deals for individuals – you are quite free to make all kinds of boneheaded financial decisions – only bad deals for itself.

Granted, execution and enforcement can be a challenge. Say you enter into a non-compete with "garden leave" of $1. Is that sufficient compensation with respect to the intent of allowing "garden leave"? Now you need a tribunal to make the call and all the complexities to go along with it. And so, when drafting laws, it may be more practical to prohibit "garden leave" as well.
> even jogging in place got me over 130

The cardiac exercise research group in Norway have developed and tested an online maximum heart rate calculator.

https://www.ntnu.edu/cerg/hrmax

Check what that number is for you.

The interval training they recommend would be about 90% of maximum heart rate.

(For example, I'm in my early 60s and I'm supposed to push my heart rate into the range 150—165 bpm.)
I tend to think there is a huge selection bias problem. The people that I knew in HS who wanted to be cops (and two did), were exactly the people you did NOT want to meet in a dark alleyway. They abused the power their physical strength gave them in HS... what makes you think they'd act differently with legal strength?

And the people that I think are those who most want to help those in need and are compassionate, careful, and would take accountability seriously are those who don't want to do the job.

There is also a kinship/bond that grows, which is hard to break. It's natural. You see it among sports fans, school alumni, console fan boys, company workers, etc... You see things through exceptionally biased glasses. Try to find a sports fan who feels like their team tends to be FAVORED by refs? You won't find them -- they all seem to think the refs are against their team -- every team's fans feel this way. Every team's fans feel like the fight on the field was instigated by the other team.

Given these things, how do you mitigate against them, and construct a police force that is reasonable? I personally think it has to be external oversight, but this hasn't been easy to implement historically.

Can confirm. Amazon's warehouses have been absolutely packed lately, sellers have have been complaining about inbound shipping limits for most of Q4. This is despite Amazon growing warehouse capacity by a huge amount in 2021 and having plenty of excess capacity earlier in 2022.

That's easy if you can tolerate risk; just put it in the back of a u-haul and obey the speed limit. Of course if the "cash" is actually a number in a bank account, not actual cash, then it's not so easy.
That's a very fair approach.

One thing I will also note is - and I do mean this in a gentle way - that placing pressure on your child to have children of his own might not just backfire if he's gay. Half of my family is conservative (the other half is progressive) and very Catholic, and my cousin who is infertile has had a terrible time of it. Or if your straight son's wife is infertile. Or if your child ends up disabled and unable to commit to parenting. That may be something you want to work on in the coming decades, partially because if you are a part of conservative leaning communities (like if you're religious) you need to be there for your child if they can't meet those expectations for whatever reason.

While there are some other factors at play, and some inaccuracies in those claims, mentioned by sister comments, I agree with the conclusion. I've mentioned my observations in another comment thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34261198

Assuming a 100mm bore cylinder with a 1.5m stroke (~10L volume), operating at 150 bar, with a stroke time of 1 minute, the power required is:

Power in kW = Pressure in bar * Flow in liters per minute / 600

2.5 kW = 150 bar * 10 l/min / 600

or a little more than 3 horsepower. That gives you about 15 tons of force. Maybe the trucks use two cylinders, one on each side, so double it? Plus 10% for pump inefficiencies, and 5% for electric motor inefficiencies (200% for diesel-to-kinetic losses)?

Still negligible compared to accelerating a huge steel box plus dozens of tons of trash to roadway speeds 1000 times a day.

Looking up some existing PTOs and pumps on munciepower.com, it looks like typical refuse systems are provisioned with PTOs and pumps rated for on the order of 10-50 kW, and diesel "prime movers" of 200-400 kW.
