From a more security security research point-of-view, the paper “Bootstrapping Trust in Commodity Computers”[1] is a very good overview. Although it would necessitate a bit of an update for more recent developments with e.g. dm-verity etc.

My crumbling understanding is tied to my linear algebra also crumbling understanding, anf hopefully continuing reading this thread will solidify it.
You're right.

Within a codebase there's a arbitrary number mental models that that particular code base uses to solve problems. Perhaps it uses a calling convention, or a REST API or a C FFI API. Or Spring. The problem is ultimately how do I get data from here to there so that I understand it for doing an organised computation on it.

When you go outside that codebase, you switch mental models of how to solve and think of problems. It's similar to switching between writing in Python and then writing commands in bash shell.

It's similar to switching between HTML, CSS and Javascript as a frontend developer. Or embedded C programming or the code of a compiler.

I feel the logistical problem is space or position based, which can also be computed with numbers or vectors as with language models.

How many of the problems that people solve with programs are the same problem, said slightly differently? BSD sockets standardised communication but we have so many solutions to positional+placement logistics: systemd, sysv, Tomcat/application servers, kubernetes, package managers, docker, wasm runtimes, virtual machines, firecracker, OSGI, LXC, processes, threads, databases and so on. Said another way: what is where.
These one file scripts are nice but it’s just as convenient to if the script is a package.

> Hydrogen storage is not something that you really want to do at home, especially in "saving up" quantities. It is quite happy to explode, you need tremendous pressures and low temperatures for efficient storage, and also hard to contain ..

Agree, hydrogen storage is not something you do as easily as say piling up some fire wood.

On the other hand, it's totally possible to do at home and it is being done. Hydrogen can be stored in regular gas cylinders. See the realized projects from Home Power Solutions [1].

If these cylinders are located outside, explosions should be rather unlikely due to ventilation.

Ok. I read your previous as suggesting that even Billie’s loan was unproductive or Alex was doing something wrong. (Alex has built a spec property and intends to leave it empty until sale as they’re in the construction business.)
I suppose that goes for a lot of things. However, I wager the burden of why someone is bucking the momentum is more on people who _choose_ not to. Choosing to have a kid is difficult because 'anxiety is the dizziness of freedom' so to speak (also a great short story).

Freedom of choice offers unlimited possibilities and claws out from momentum and yells at you to think about your choice. Most peoples 'secret' reason for having kids usually amounts to, 'because that's just how it is'.

I imagine this would cause controversy in choosing the diversion method. Say an asteroid was predicted to impact the USA. As you increase the amount of diversion, the impact point will move across the Earth before it finally misses entirely. What about the countries along that path? How do they be sure that the USA doesn't partly deflect the astroid, endangering them?

It’s funny, now that you mentioned it I remembered I did keep a journal like that - in high school, long time ago. It was a very private, well hidden, handwritten journal where I mostly wrote down my dreams, and tried to analyze them. I also described my interactions with friends, girls, parents, my insecurities, plans, etc. Several hundred pages over a couple of years. Even though this journal is valuable to me, perhaps as an archive, I’ve never felt even a slightest desire to open it.
True they do always seem to be doing track work. But I at least appreciate that they’re proactively doing it, rather than letting it get so bad that they have to shut the system down for months at a time like the Washington Metro.

That is cool. On rare occasion I need to use Clojure for work projects, and then I really like Cursive + IntelliJ. That is an existence proof that a Common Lisp plugin + IntelliJ could be awesome.

I paid $3500 for a LispWorks Pro license and so far I have been paying the $750/year maintenance fee. It is really nice, but as I find myself using Python much more than Common Lisp, I might drop paying maintenance and eventually go back to SBCL. Even with LispWorks I usually use Emacs + Slime.

Anyway, this new SLT plugin is in my “must play with” list. Thanks to the developers.

I seriously wish people on HN and more broadly would stop suggesting drugs and tripping out so often as a solution to any depression or existential dread.

I get it's one of several suggestions you made, but it's the most dangerous suggestion of all of them. People end up seriously harmed by this stuff, it's not to be taken lightly.
I got it by first thinking about the inverse Fourier transform, which is just saying that I want to write a signal as a weighted sum of sinusoids:

`x(t) = sum_k w_k sin(2pik*t)`

Then you just ask the question: given x, solve for w.

The next question is "why sinusoids", and the answer is that because for any linear, time invariant system acting on x:

y(t) = F[x](t)

that system diagonalizes over (complex) sinusoids:

y(f) = F(f)x(f)

I do not know why you were down-voted.

No surprise here, a billionaire donates to the GOP and is a tax scammer, who would have thought. If anyone is keeping up with current US politics, the new Congress has voted to defund the IRS, why ? It is very expensive for the IRS to audit the very rich, by defunding it, the IRS will be unable to prevent tax the fraud by rich and large corporations.

Over the past 20 years, the funding for the IRS has been cut in almost every budget by the GOP majority.
This isn't true. When you fit a neural network, you are almost always fitting a probability distribution (Bernoulli for binary outcomes, normal for numeric, etc, etc) which can all provide your probability estimates.

When a model for a binary outcomes returns 0.9 for a given data point, that implies a 90% probably that the value is true.

Evaluating the quality of this estimates (often called measuring the calibration of the model) is even very common.

(There are some exception of course. Max margin models aren't probabilistic. And sometimes people use fixed variance parameters for their normal models, etc).
I think you’re over-estimating the amount of resources and expertise maintaining your own CI infrastructure requires.

The places I typically work for don’t have the operations capacity necessary. Nor do the small development teams have anyone other than me familiar enough with system administration to set things up in a reasonable amount of time.

A lot of junior developers have little to no Linux server experience. And I don’t really count following a step-by-step tutorial as experience. I have that experience and server problems can easily eat days of time the team can’t afford. :(

When you’re tricked into installing a nasty app, you’re likely also tricked into giving it whatever permissions it needs for the nastiness.
When I worked at NetApp, this was a problem there too.

IIRC, the fix was for directory entries were later stored in sorted buckets (aka hash map) and only the corresponding bucket for the file name would get locked. This reduced scope of lock for atomic operations like rename and also allowed faster lookup instead of O(n) based scan.
It's a mathematically correct way of looking at it as long as you're clear that that the bases are functions, and you're considering how a particular mathematical artifact (the signal function) is represented as a sum of basis functions. In the naive signal trace, the basis functions are one-hot functions (zero everywhere except at a single point, where they have value 1), in the Fourier basis, the basis functions are sine waves of amplitude 1. So the signal is the sum of the basis functions multiplied by a unique amplitude for each basis function.

Sine waves aren't the only basis with which you can make this transformation. Your basis can be an arbitrary set of periodic functions as long as it meets certain requirements. Decomposition into wavelet functions is commonly used in seismic signal analysis, for example.

OK, I read the article and I still don't get how this works.

If you look at the graph near the bottom, he's offsetting short-term gains with loss. But it's a loss, he's losing money. And looking at the two, many years have bigger losses than gains.

They even state in the article "Of course, if you consider the trade as a whole, it makes no money."

I don't want to speculate on exactly how the developer at CircleCI was compromised, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was something like this. They can be pretty easily targeted and it's trivial to get RCE on a developer's laptop during package install.

These are hard to detect for a few reasons:

- Traditional endpoint protection is often disabled on developer machines
- Developers require much more access to their machines to do their jobs
- Installing packages in most programming languages still results in RCE at install time
- Most solutions are aimed at protecting code once it makes it to CI and production, but developer machines are still the wild west

If you're not already operating in a world where you assume every developer laptop is compromised, you need to start. The only real protection here is requiring multi-party review for *everything*.

Ianal, but I think ddg could come back and claim that their service doesn't copy the content or that their abstract is fair use, so a dmca wouldn't apply to them.

If that happens I'd use language about the exclusive "public display" right that you have over your work.

I'm not aware of this claim being used for a dmca, but I'd like to see how such a claim turned out.

More dark patterns: Hearst magazines
My wife subscribed to a magazine for a year, Country Living I think, and a $62 charge labelled "Hearst Membership" just appeared on this month's bill. She actually remembers saying no to the "membership thing" when she bought the subscription, but it's now months in the past so (I'm sure by design) it's hard for her to remember details. Whatever the case, I'm sure there was an automatically checked box in some later screen that set the bomb for January.

So basically, if you're nostalgically thinking about getting some dead tree in your mailbox to remind you of the good times, be careful out there. She hasn't attempted to call and cancel yet, it being Sunday, but I'm anticipating they will make it very difficult for her. Will report back.

No it's not. As the person you responded to pointed out it's basically torture when you're preventing suicide.

I actually don’t really trust my Linux and macOS laptops. I put no sensitive information in them, just what I need to write software or build models.

I do trust iOS and iPadOS in Lockdown Mode, and I avoid installing apps, usually preferring web apps.

In all cases, I don’t wait to install available system updates - that might not be the best strategy, but that is how I do it.
Title:

Conclusion:

This is a study of work from home couples, and this part is all you need to understand the story:

> The study concluded that when men had flexible work schedules and worked from home at least some of the time, wives who also worked from home found themselves handling significantly more household chores and tasks than before. Additionally, wives were more likely to report feeling guilty about not working on household chores or spending time with their families than their husbands.

People forget: for a very, very brief moment during the 2016 US presidential campaign, the problem of actual "fake news" was in the spotlight. Literal fake news, where a pseudo-news site would put up stories that was entirely fictional, to promote a political POV, and present them as news. Trump swiftly neutralized the term by co-opting it and using it, as you say, to mean "real news I don't like". But for just a moment in time, it was originally used to describe actual fiction posing as news.

I don't know about cost effectiveness of Apple laptops, since I never use small-screen devices for daily work, but if you are willing to put together a desktop workstation with your own hands from components you hunt down individually at online sales and install the free Linux, you will not spend even half of the cost of a Mac Pro, which has not even been upgraded by Apple since 2019. The 2023 Mac Pro is to cost from $6K to the insane $10K.

In "n’th digit of 𝜋 and 𝜋^n" are both n the same?

In other words, for say 𝜋^50 does the formula only give me the 50th digit, or does it give me any arbitrary digit I want?
Not this one, but algorithms that can calculate the specific digit positions but nothing else are indeed used for world records, mainly for the verification. If two radically different algorithms converge into the same digits at something like the trillionth position then you will have a high confidence for the rest of digits.

How does one manage time with so many hobbies!

My attempt is to move the goal post back down, so as to not be overwhelmed.

Like learning Japanese for an example. Rather than me saying, I want to learn Japanese, I’ll set a goal for myself to, pick up the basics if hiragana and katakana.

I think this approach will help reinforce motivation for me to be short-term goal minded.

The reading did open my eyes to the thought that not everything on our list will be completed. You might be young, but at my I age have some things to eliminate from this list; or more specifically, move them down further in terms of priority.
