I saw a screenshot a few days ago where someone asked it for five fun facts about the number 2023. In the same response, it said it’s a composite number (3 times 673) and prime (specifically the 41st). Both are wrong; it’s a composite number of 7 times 289).
I think truth might be that markets are not as efficient as many would want everyone to believe. And then there is lot of effects that could affect the true efficiency, like index-funds and ESG scores.
Wired made a video of it here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe4CHWulnDs that gave a good idea of what it's like using them.
I think this is interesting to software people because the OGL is clearly inspired by open source licenses, being mostly a permissive license but also borrowing the "or later" clause from GPL, which is herein being abused to try intimidate older license version users and secure additionally rights for Wizards themselves.

I suspect it won't succeed if it ever does end up in a courtroom, but it does raise some interesting questions about where the line is. e.g. GFDL 1.3's Wikipedia can convert from GFDL to Creative Commons clause is arguably a similar claim to the idea that Wizards can now use OGL 1.0 content royalty free on the surface.

AMD Zen 4 AVX-512 Performance Analysis On The Ryzen 9 7950X
It wasn't that long ago that real name policy was the topic of discussion. Making everything on the internet require an identity verification is a concept some people have been pushing for, and in term of social credit scores it would make it much easier for some parties to keep track of their citizens. Porn is not the only exception here.

The big question is why privacy should be default, and if it is the default, what criteria should be applied when exceptions are given to the default.

Personally I would hope privacy should be default and exceptions to that rule should only exist if there are democratic chosen laws that overrule it. Then people can vote against or elect new leaders if a law is against the wishes of the people.
To expand on my semi-sarcasm with a proper question:
so there's a microwave frequency that is completely unaffected by atmospherics? In which water, ozone, the rest of the gas mixure and particulates are mostly transparent?

What frequency spectrum is that? And for bonus points: can this project fry commercial planes?

A rich western elite just buying protection from Islamic warlords in Africa sounds like a movie plot.

It isn't remotely the same thing as your example of someone who has 20+ years of connections to a religion and community disappearing into its criminal underworld.

Also "without remarkable connections"? The Wikipedia article that you linked says she was literally married to one of the 7/7 bombers and associated with other known terrorists, including one whose family is from Kenya.

"Near" is a relative term; 10 km is a rounding error for resistive losses even in a mediocre cable at unspectacular voltages, even 1000 km isn't much loss for an HVDC cable, and it's economically reasonable to loop the moon with a 600Ω conductor if SpaceX's Starship price estimate works out.
>pet projects by HR can significantly impact the quality of life of every employee at the company, cause people not to join the company or quit the company, and so on

Reminds me of the time I almost rage quit when HR's pet project was to implement a "baking roster" for the purposes of "team building".

Like... No effing way am I spending time baking shit just because you want a supply of freshly baked goods to eat? I'm a software engineer damnit.

Made my blood boil for sure.
Just curious, why would it be the technical part of the userbase that raises money to acquire it? After all "raising money to buy a company" is typically more of an MBA activity than something done by the dev team.

Depends on what you mean by "wealthy". Cost per sq. ft. of housing in the urban area of Portland is much higher than the suburbs of Portland. That's indicative to me of higher market demand in the urban area.
I read that many times on HN, like a revelation "HR is not your side". This sounds pretty obvious to me. My interaction with HR has never been more than updating some administrative information or sending them documents they need. And the day they'll fire me, why should I expect any special favour from them? I don't see them more on "my side" than the IRS or my landlord.
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but Grist has relationship-driven spreadsheets where the formulas are all Python code. And you can have multiple tables show on the same page, where selection of one filters the others.

The tables are more database-style than pure unstructured Excel sheet style, but I've found that having a full Python environment in each cell to be pretty powerful, and I've started turning to it for analytical work because I can avoid the mess that larger Excel formulas can turn into.

> I think a lot of these sorts of articles discount the idea that your goals and the company's will frequently align.

I have to remind a lot of people that HR is not your friend, but that doesn't mean HR is your enemy.

A lot of young people are reading "HR is not your friend" articles and assume that they need to go to war with HR. I've had to mentor some people out of weird situations where HR was trying to genuinely help them, but they refused to engage with HR at all due to some anecdote or article they read online.

The common examples is being PIPed. A lot of people panic as soon as they see anything resembling a PIP because the internet tells them it's a formality before they're fired. In contrast, many HR departments have metrics and incentives that make them want to retain employees at any cost, because it looks bad on them if they can't retain people or they're hiring people who underperform and can't be brought up to expected levels of performance. Contrary to what the internet says, a lot of PIP programs can actually result in positive improvements and good long term outcomes, but a lot of people just shut down and resent the company too much to even engage once it happens.
Says top speed of 7mph. So that's like an ~8.5 minute mile pace, which is a pretty fast jog or a slow run. About double the average walking speed.

They don't say if you can sustain that though.
It depends entirely on your target goal.

If your target goal is something like "maximization of worker pay",for example (really, i'm not suggesting that's what you want, it's just a convenient example), then no, there will never be a compelling argument for non-competes, because they always stand in the way of that particular goal.

This is because costs by employers can always be expressed without non-competes somehow to within some reason, and not get in the way of that goal (but may harm others).

For example - there are fields where large amounts of on-the-job training is paid for by employers.
Certainly they don't get nothing out of it in the end, but they have upfront costs too. It is more frontloaded cost wise, such that if the employee leaves immediately after training, the employer would lose money.

The literal training cost can simply be expressed as an actual penalty for leaving rather than a non-compete.
But the loss of time and need to train someone else (IE the time during which you would have made more money on the person who just left) is harder to value as a penalty (since it depends on what your profit would have been, which is probably variable, and lots of other things). So that is often expressed as a non-compete.
But that would still stand in the way of "worker pay maximization", so that particular difficulty is not compelling for that goal (IE you could just assign a value to it and deal)

Similarly, there are fields where there are not enough people, and great upfront cost may be spend in acquiring people (doctors in rural areas, etc).
Normally they would non-compete them and give a significant hiring bonus.
You can also express this as a penalty, but it still puts you out a doctor for the time it takes to recruit someone else, etc, which is bad for the community.
But not for worker pay!

If you go for worker pay maximization, them taking a 250k bonus to go work in that area, then leaving a year later (or whatever), maximizes their pay. It also likely forces the community to pay more to the next person to have that not happen!

So again, if your target goal is maximization of worker pay, no, I think there is no compelling arguments for non-competes.

If you switch your goal to say something like "maximization of production of useful things", maybe you could get to more compelling argument, because constant job hopping by everyone, while maximizing worker pay, probably interferes with maximizing the production of useful things.

Or if you introduce some balance of goals, maybe.
Why do you think that? WASM isn't a magical "make it faster" button.
My racist view is that Chinese people are smarter than western people.

Do you have a problem with that type of racism?

Yeah, you can say "they should have known it was too good" but I mean seriously, huge sporting events are plastered in cryptocoin logos. High profile papers like the WSJ spent years portraying cryptocoin as at least something as relevant as traditional finance if not its proximate replacement. The biggest banks and VCs are deeply involved and trumpeting loudly. Huge old school tech companies like IBM suddenly talking about the blockchain revolution. And my 80 year old aunt is somehow supposed to read that all this is just an astoundingly massive bubble? I just don't think it's a realistic expectation. This has happened many times before, which is why we have these regulations in the first place. Lessons relearned indeed.
I don’t think they’re evil either, but the recent pivot to the insane pursuit of “diversity” and “inclusion” seems to threaten a good working environment.

Required trainings on “pronoun politics” displace what could be trainings in communication, customer service, and professionalism, or even “email etiquette”, all of which our mostly foreign engineering team could really benefit from.
Yeah, I heard about that. Talk about fucked up! She should be paying for his therapy.
This reads like "the problem disappears as soon as I'm no longer impacted". Just because cops see/treat you differently now doesn't mean they aren't still treating others poorly.

‘When HR thinks it’s their job to administrate, you’ve already lost.’

One way to more closely align HR with employees is to focus them on championing a certain set of empowerment values. C-Levels should thus use HR to listen and aggregate employee info, and (importantly) use complimentary soft skills in HR to provide coaching to both high and low performers. This is rare but a feasible vision for a nascent HR org.

The same coaching and development goes for those within HR. Being a BP is really not a long-term career for most. I’ve seen a lot of HR peeps do a rotation for a year or two and then go off to be a founder or transition into very different career tracks. If you treat the HR lower ranks well, that energy can help spread to the rest of the team.

It’s really easy to get this wrong, especially in tech where Founders are poor at soft skills and/or hyper product focused. The OP I feel is a very generous view of the norm. But if you want to form a world-class HR team, there are much higher marks to chase.
I love how Apple hater rhetoric hasn't changed in 30 years.
> Just putting the source code of something you built out there and saying "I built this, do what ever you want with it" is an incredibly generous thing to do and should always be encouraged.

Indeed, and originally that is what open source was all about!

One of my pet peeves is the conflating of open source with some sort of communal development model. Open source certainly enables that model, but open source is much bigger than that. Furthermore, you need other things to make the communal model work well - specifically funding (like a foundation or other patronage funding model) to support development and community management.
Ruby doesn't have first-class methods, either. Python has both first-class methods and first-class functions.

> In computer science, a programming language is said to have first-class functions if it treats functions as first-class citizens. This means the language supports passing functions as arguments to other functions, returning them as the values from other functions, and assigning them to variables or storing them in data structures.[1]

OCaml has first-class functions, the names can be passed around as parameters and returned as values. Ruby functions and methods cannot; only Proc objects and Method objects proxying for them can be.

You should really consider whether pointing out your incorrectness constitutes an insult and why you think this is so.
Totally agree. I biked around the streets, and it's tough. Bike lanes are somewhat respected by drivers, and somewhat respected by people parking on the street, which in aggregate makes them not all that well respected...

People get creamed on bikes all the time in bike lanes. Pedestrians on the sidewalks and bike paths just don't pay attention to anything other than what is 3-4 feet from them, and are always forcing you to dodge if you have any kind of speed if you're just even jogging.

It's more a cultural problem than a city planning problem. Contrast how seriously bike lanes are treated in (say) Munich, which is very seriously.

I do agree that far too many people treat public pride events as kink events, which is really f'ed up.

The most important rule about kink is not to involve unwilling participants. This even includes things like dont go around wearing your gimp mask in public. At a kink convention, sure, i guess that sort of think might be acceptable.

Unfortunately, pride events are in an awkward spot where many have long been associated with queer kink communities, and when organizers or reasonable members of the community try to reign this crap in, they get a lot of pushback from people who don't want to lose the event where they can be kinky in public.

Many pride events would really benefit from either becoming a properly family friend event, possibly with a a contained 18+ area for the kink stuff, or become a fully 18+ event, and setting up so as to minimize exposure to the general public. Sadly not all of them are doing so...
I guess I don't agree with the assessment that it is a glorified search engine at all. It's a lot more novel than that.

I also agree that consent should be received before using an artists images in the training process.

That said, if one could compute a training data image's contribution to the end result of a particular query it is entirely possible we could see a portion profits flow back to these artists from the use of their IP in the training process.

But at the end of the day, when you train on billions of images, the end profit might be pretty minuscule. Any single artist's contributions might not actually matter all that much in the grand scheme of things. It's the combination of millions of artists that produce a result.

Subpar product, never enjoyed using it. Constant downtime and incidents.
This generally applies to the whole company. You can have friends in fellow staff but they're not your friends.

(Terms and conditions apply, your mileage may vary. A friend doesn't throw a friend under the bus if times get though).
Well, pooping in the kitchen sink is not sanitary, so if you can solve that problem we are golden. Yes, it's a good point, there is a heck of a lot of stuff that is not efficiently utilized. I only wear 3% of my clothes on any given day. I have never used my drill (because I lost the charger but that's beside the point). Don't get me started on books or my kids' toys. But then again, the government isn't trying to mandate we all wear clothing made of a scarce material which would increase the price and possibly cause some people walk around naked in cold climates.
> HR aren’t evil, they’re just doing a job

I am not trying to say HR is evil but this line of reasoning makes literally no sense.

Whether someone is just doing the job has absolutely nothing to do with if the job they are doing is evil. "They are just doing their jobs" should never be used to justify anyone's actions. For brevity, I will skip all the war crime analogies that everyone can think of.
I don’t get all the negativity.

Price will come down.

- I can think of lots of jobs that employers would love their staff to move faster.

- I like how these could make public transport commuting faster between home and transport and transport and destination.

- I like the way they don’t replace the shoe
Chicago's pavement will always be in difficult shape due to the climate and, more importantly, the incredible amounts of road salt used to keep the roads ice-free.

I am seeing more and more e-bikes though, which, since you can keep up with traffic relatively well, allow you ride in the car lane under most circumstances. That's what I do, and if some dickhead really feels the need to pass me when I'm going >25mph, I'll give them a wave at the next light. And probably be shot in the chest one of these days.
Show HN: ClickHouse-local – a small tool for serverless data analytics
Me with my friend Vitaly Ludvichenko made an experiment to combine ClickHouse server and client to make a self-contained program running a database engine and processing data without a server: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/150

Development continued in the past 6 years, and now clickhouse-local becomes a swiss-army knife for data processing. Say "ffmpeg" for datasets and more.

It can resemble textql, octosql, dsq, duckdb, trdsql, q, datafusion-cli, spyql, but has better capabilities and performance.

Here is a tutorial: https://clickhouse.com/blog/extracting-converting-querying-l...

"serverless" in the same sense as here: https://www.sqlite.org/serverless.html
and also in the more common sense - clickhouse-local can be packaged into AWS Lambda and serve queries on a per-request basis, as here: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/43589
There is nothing wrong with crypto in an abstract. There is a reason it was brought into existence to begin with ( onerous KYC, BSA regs and so on ). Naturally, the pieces that made it interesting ( pseudo-anonymity, non-reversibility ) made it worthwhile.

The issue is that it became a defacto tool of choice for average fraudster to rehash old scams.

I am not feeling the pain, but I am also not celebrating. I want balance and getting SBF should bring some semblance of it ( semblance, because he should be not connected enough to make sufficient amount of connected people angry and vindictive ).
You can sum it up by saying "work is not your family".
I struggle to see how consumption or avoidance of pornography is "common good". It may be individually good - we can recognize there are individuals who struggle with porn addiction.

This seems very much personal good though, not to the common good of citizens.

Drunk driving, where a driver can kill a random person, is a common good sort of problem and thus we might see the state regulate elements of that.

I don't see how we can justify cracking down on porn as common good though.
