This is a very important application and a tougher problem than most would guess. There is a huge variety of ways to numerically implement even a simple transfer function, and they can have very different consequences in terms of rounding and overflow. Especially if you want to not only guarantee that it converges to a steady-state, but furthermore that the steady-state has no error. I spent a lot of time working on this problem for nanometre-accurate servo controls. Floating and fixed point each have advantages depending on the nature and dynamic range of the variable (eg. location parameter vs scale parameter).

Wow I didn't even know. But my point still stands. It just checked my rarely-used facebook account and I don't see any reference to the dating app anywhere. My intention with above comment was that it was seamlessly integrated into the social app.
Amen to that.

I am living that particular dream (nightmare) as are a handful of us 'vision loyalists'.
The example you're giving is not prohibited by generally applied client-side scanning, since it happens in the realm of public Social Media. It's improbable politicians will block YT, Insta, Fb, Twitter since they're using it themselves to reach out.

That said, your example can be properly tackled by installing more social workers in different contexts, schools in this case. But neo-liberalism made politicians save money esp. in social contexts. Now that dogmatic approach is falling on our feet, frankly to no surprise.
Just fyi and for anyone who might find this, The bug I mentioned in the previous comment is fixed, you can now select a location such as UK and it will only show listings which are in the selected location.

Tate is YouTube's problem, not the ISP or DNS's problem. Most of the stuff you're talking about mostly exists on social media sites, so unless you're proposing DNS-blocking Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and all the others by default, there's little benefit to defaulting to DNS censorship.

The new price of the long range Model Y, $52990, is still $4000 higher than the $48,990 base price that's printed on my February 2021 invoice.

Back then, the delivery time of a Model Y was only 3 weeks, ridiculously short compared to any other car or car brand at the time. Shortly after, delivery times shot up to over 6 months or more, and the price went along with it.

The price that I paid was IMO fair. I've had zero issues with it, it's much more fun to drive than the more expensive German car of my wife, I love autopilot for long distance driving (I will never buy or use FSD though), and 30k miles later, I've saved around $5k (ok, let's make it $3k) compared to using gas in the 2 years that I've owned it.

But I would never have bought it for yesterday's price of $65k.

Why would you want to work outside of a company's core competence?

Ideally, your core competency (programming) and a company's core business (software development) are identical or at least heavily aligned. This arrangement allows you to grow your competency since business core competencies can be very, very advanced.

Want to go deeper into code optimization and high performance? There is probably a critical piece of software in dire need of optimization. Want to draw diagrams? Some legacy systems need integration and solution architect's touch.

On the other hand, working at a company where your role is unaligned with the core competency, you usually hit the ceiling on the complexity of what's required from you pretty fast. Sure, there are a thousand different excel files in dire need of wrangling, but you are really hitting diminishing returns on your skill building after the hundredth one.

This has nothing to do with the definition or implementation of the remainder or modulo function.

It is a problem that appears whenever you compose an inexact function, like the conversion from decimal to binary, with a function that is not continuous, like the remainder a.k.a. modulo function.

In decimal, 13.716 is exactly 3 times 4.572, so any kind of remainder must be null, but after conversion from decimal to binary that relationship is no longer true, and because the remainder is not a continuous function its value may be wildly different from the correct value.

When you compute with approximate numbers, like the floating-point numbers, as long as you compose only continuous functions, the error in the final result remains bounded and smaller errors in inputs lead to a diminished error in the output.

However, it is enough to insert one discontinuous function in the computation chain for losing any guarantee about the magnitude of the error in the final result.

The conclusion is that whenever computing with approximate numbers (which may also use other representations, not only floating-point) you have to be exceedingly cautious when using any function that is not continuous.

It definitely fails at scale. Not everyone is rich enough that they can live on the mountains off the grid with starlink/hughes as their only non airgapped link to civilization. We all know you can use solar panels and live "without" by using nonperishables and just a few basic electronics and old fashioned entertainment like books and board games. I mean it's been done a thousand times by various bloggers. I camped out for 3 weeks once, with the only modern convenience being a rain barrel shower to shower off every 3 days or so.

Engineers and scientists can be like that. Perhaps the most obvious English-language one is Andy Weir (The Martian, etc) where the characters can feel like they're agents implementing an story rather than part of it. But certainly author-first authors can lean into this too and end up writing basically a narrative report rather then a story.

Which is, to be clear, completely fine: sometimes the characters aren't actually the core of a story, especially when dealing with substantially non-human-scale subjects and abstract concepts. It's also much more of a challenge to keep characters front and centre when on a very large sci-fi stage. It's easy to concentrate on the people when it's just a few people in, say, a regular house, just doing human things. I think some of the genius of Iain M. Banks especially is that he manages to somehow place the people (and non-people like Ships) dead centre even though the stories are ostensibly on an incomprehensibly vast scale. It's one of the few sci-fi universes where I think first of the characters and not of the universe in which they exist.

The original Star Wars and Dune also had particularly good character-centrism, where the universes were clearly enormous and could be arbitrarily detailed, but existed to support the characters journeys rather then the reverse.
Wondering whether there's a company out there that does kernel testing as a service. Give your kernel conf, some tunings of basic services, eventually your distro, and have an automatic testsuite run for your subset, cyclictests, syzkaller instance, have some of your stresstests app run. Might be useful in a world of firecracker/microvms with smaller kernel surfaces?
definitely need a bit more work, but i think its a good start.
Paramount+ sucks. If you try to play DS9 season 5 episode 1, it simply throws an error. So all legal option for watching that episode is gone.

(I’m almost ashamed I watch Star Trek so often that I know this offhand…)

The subtitles are literally the worst, short of being incomprehensible. Like so bad that until someone experiences them, you can’t really grok how terrible they are. They’re a solid D minus.

Maybe it‘s an iOS thing. But every so often, the positioning codes sneak in to the subtitles themselves, so you start seeing x,y coordinates. And any time anything is italicized, the italicized part jumps to the opposite side of the screen, meaning the caption gets split in half. It’d be comical if it wasn’t frustrating.

(Thanks for the opportunity to vent about how sad it is that Star Trek is trapped behind such a bad streaming service. And I even pay for no ads, yet they still show ads every 8th episode or so.)
My take on this is that Tesla are still targeting the top ~10% (maybe?) of the car market and so it's unsurprising that they're starting to struggle with their pricing.

Something I think a lot of people, particularly in car enthusiast circles, or highly paid Hacker News reader circles, is just how little people want to pay for cars. A £45k car is an expensive car for most people.

Bearing in mind that there are plenty of good cars at £25k (new) and plenty of supply of second hand cars that are only a few years old and much cheaper.

As a comparison, I'm happy to spend £2k on a laptop, but the vast majority of people are buying in the £500-1k range (or replacing with a cheap tablet etc). A £2k laptop is probably in the top ~10% of the laptop market, as much as it might seem totally normal to me.

Tesla really need to expand to more of the market, with, say, a $35,000 car. I'd love to see a small hatchback for £20k from them, and I think it would do very well in Europe. Much better than an £80k ~tank~ truck.

Miserable HN devs strike again
There’s something profound here about how the very natural conventions in Chess (“If you did that, you’d lose, so I’d rather we continue playing”) have redefined “valid” in a way that is surprisingly hard to re-implement with code.
I'm definitely a hacker/artist type vs engineer. I like shipping things, stumbling around, finding a path, not planning them out and executing that plan. By the time I've planned something I have to use all of my available executive function to force myself to do it.

So I tend to gravitate to early startup life where it's all chaos and unknown and getting things done quickly is most important.

> Even supposedly gold-standard benchmarks like the TechEmpower framework benchmarks quickly devolve into "application server handling HTTP requests by responding with predefined strings", which is as fast as it's utterly useless in most people's version of the real world.

It sets an upper bound on a server's performance given that page generation completes instantly. Sure it won't reflect real world performance, but in this case the benchmark should be read as "higher requests per second = lower resource footprint for the server".

Engineering is about being able to understand what a benchmark or measure truly means, and what useable information it contains.
> I didn't mean to imply that it would. I've just seen people argue that UBI is a solution to the problem of people not having work.

Ah, I took you as meaning that UBI would cause only the top 1% of talent to work. Sorry, guess I misread that.

I'd say automation would free all those folks up to find meaning in other pursuits, like, say, the arts... but, uh, unless there's a society-wide rejection of AI art, that's looking rather iffy now. Like they could maybe still do it, the same way people enjoy doing Sudoku puzzles even though computers can solve them better, but they'll have to be content with the finished work having the same value to others as a solved Sudoku puzzle, i.e. none whatsoever.

Scientism is the fastest growing religion in America these days - people just want to believe in higher powers of any sort. For almost everyone who says it, "I believe in science" is usually no different than saying they believe in the Judeo-Christian God.

I used Kubuntu on it before switching to pop!_OS because non-integer scaling was blurry on the Ubuntu desktop.

Kubuntu was totally fine. I always use around 1.5x scaling on this res/ppi.

Integer scaling works fine (and is sharp) on both desktops.

There are no patches in this repo but actual driver kernel modules.
I don't think any of them have been mainlined but I may be wrong. Whenever I update the kernel, I run a single script from that repo. But I don't update kernels unless there is good reason for my particular hardware.

I used the 5.17 kernel series until two weeks ago and switched to 6 since then. Everything works perfectly fine.

I encourage people to look for alternative sources for their meat, for all food, really. Local food systems get you a better product, and nowadays they can also be quite cheaper with all of the profit taking and fuel/energy cost driven inflation in the industrial food supply chain.

We are blessed to be in Vermont, which has strong local food systems. We can get nearly all our produce and meat from local farms. We have been purchasing grass fed, pastured beef from Squier Family Farm, in Wallingford VT for years. We can get lamb and pork from the Bur-Ger family farm or any of a half dozen other families that show up at the local farmers market or sell in the coop.

We recently had some Omaha steaks, claiming to be grass fed, shipped to us by a family member. They absolutely sucked in comparison. I have had Butcher Box steaks that were comparable, but also much more expensive, and way more material in packaging.

For produce, we have a half dozen farms to choose from. It means eating more seasonally, but the quality of the veg is just so much greater.

Now you can see this as privilege, but it's also the result of hundreds of neighbors making the conscious decision to support their local food system. While everyone was complaining about food price increases, the local food systems were WAY more stable in their pricing, and we even saw the price of grass fed ground beef drop around here. It requires more thought and planning, but it really pays off, IMO.
Did the verification work for you?
Makes sense, considering the close relationship Intel (and Microsoft) have with the US surveillance apparatus. Better to keep open an avenue for covert monitoring.
>Sadly en passant (the funny move) is not implemented yet because I have no idea how it would work.

That's ... straighforward enough, I think? En passant exists because it feels unfair that a pawn could use its double-move (here, >1.0 move) to bypass another pawn's capture.

So, in analog chess, the en passant rule would be "if a pawn move of >1.0 passes through the capture zone of the other side's pawn, that pawn retains the right to capture (on the next move) as if it (the former pawn) had moved to a point within the capture zone".

Still don't see why analog chess would be interest rather than just frustratingly complex?
It's even worse than that.
Sites like MarketWatch auto generates pages for each ticker at the end of trading day to tell you if a stock went up or down and in comparison to broader market.

This will be the most hideous comment I've ever made on the internet.

I would die for something like this to be an emacs package, to be written in elisp. I do all my development and data processing in emacs on remote clusters and it is insanely efficient and quick to iterate. The only thing that slows me down is getting and making plots. I can, of course, but I still mount the drive and transfer plots as compressed images. Which is horrifically inefficient for doing very quick rapid iterations on the processing of data....

Of course, the effort to duplicate the functionality of this in elisp that properly displays in the emacs TUI would be herculean. But there's no way I can install ruby on my remote clusters :(
I felt this way at 23, and this is such a damaging mindset that im only just moving past it at 32. You have been raised in a generation that is somehow even more comparative than mine, which is utterly crazy. What is interesting is, most of the emotionally intelligent people responding to this post, will likely not be the epitome of this website, so its important, if you read any good advice to think it's the norm. The culture of this sector is emotionally undeveloped but technically brilliant.

Often, your position occurs due to a couple of things -

1. Emotional turbulence due to difficult upbringing (remember, simply going to school and feeling low on the social hierachy due to factors out of your control can be a key factor here)

2. Dishonesty. If you at some point have developed lying as a skill to protect yourself from difficult people and circumstances, this absolutely poisons your internal psychology. The part of your brain that handles problem solving (and your brain, generally speaking) will always look for the most efficient way you know to solve a problem. If simply altering reality to fit the desired outcome is done a lot, it becomes the default way you solve things.

Additionally, other people, educators, and society is becoming increasingly based on bullshit, which makes it even harder. People will say things like "you got it lucky" or suggest that "X is talented at Y" when they really have no idea, it can totally confound your ability to make decisions and move forward, and your ability to tell fact from fiction.

All people are generally arranged to be interested in "things" or "people". They are statistically associated with gender but lets ignore that for now.

Make sure when looking at tech that you are interested in the tech itself and not the people in it, or the " idea" of being in tech. You need to be fundamentally interested in things not people to go down the technical route. It is achieveable otherwise, but you will be unremarkable and lag behind which will cause long term stress. My advice is to focus more on understanding yourself, and if you can decide on something you think is worth pursuing then it is worth doing the best job you possibly can at it. Dont compare just try to better yourself over time. We all constantly overestimate what can be done in a year, and underestimate what can be done in 4. Good luck, and do an I PIP NEO personality questionnaire (longer one) it will help form a starting point. https://www.personal.psu.edu/~j5j/IPIP/
