They do provide a nominal discount if you pay with Bitcoin, though I assumed that had something to do with the lack of payment processor fees so it doesn't necessarily explain why the Amazon prices are different.
Can you cite a source to a claim that multiplication tables are racist?

All I managed to find was one book called "Multiplication is for White People." but it's not actually about multiplication tables or even math specifically. The title is a quote from a child that the author taught and is a broader book about the U.S. education system and its growing achievement gap.
Yep, new to me but the article doesn't explain much. I assume massive drinking could lead to all sorts of cancers as you're taxing every part of your body. It follows that a bit of drinking would have a small effect but is it enough to really matter?
Thanks - we've changed the URL to the article they link to about that.

Submitted URL was https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2022/12/30/review-of-2022/, which is a list, and that item looks like the most interesting thing on this list. (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor... for why we do this sometimes)
I worked at LBNL as a research scientist and spun a startup out of there. It was a great place to work in some respects, lots of really smart people, awesome brainstorming, seeing Nobel prize winners around. But if you like getting things done quickly it’s quite a challenge due the the bureaucracy (ex ordering simple things could take an extra couple weeks going through lab purchasing). I once described it to a friend who worked at a FAANG company and they said “Oh so it’s like working at a big company but without the advantages of a big company”.

Working at our startup almost feels like working at the lab (ie we have scientists and are doing hard tech), but we can also move fast and don’t have the bureaucracy. So maybe consider working at a hard tech startup with a heavy science base!
The previous m1 pro’s do not have a touch bar either. Go get the m2, the m1 is already great… highly recommend!
Thanks for the input, I haven't tried n2 yet. I don't have access to that code anymore but synthesizing an example to have the same outcome wouldn't be hard.

I realized later on that Ninja used pointers when it traverses the build graph (by actually reading your blog, I think) which is where the more stable ordering came from. IIRC, when I asked Neil (shake author) about the randomness, I believe he said he added shuffling to mainly find bugs like the OP said, but also found it turned out to also win out in some cases like this where you have a weird distribution of build times with large outliers.

> To do so you'd need to keep around data from previous executions of those tasks, and perhaps multiple runs (for the case where a given task can take a varying amount of time).

Shake does do this actually, but only for ETA predictions, it doesn't use it for build ordering. It might be an interesting approach to try, but I'm not sure if it's much better than just doing it randomly, especially since if you modify the really expensive build step, you have to fully rebuild it anyway. In the no-op case, you just avoid it. So it would only help on clean rebuilds where you really want to pack the build steps in a better way to reduce the overall time.

For CI systems it might be useful since the clean build is more common (this is what I was interested in) but, randomization is like, 80% results for 20% effort, and all.
I can't think of any potential downsides to this /s
Oh yeah agreed, hence my approach with search taking over. Who has the time to be pointing around ever changing menus. (Which fails of course when what you’re looking for can’t be easily named to search.)

But for a corporation making these decisions, I would venture that the questions around how iOS should do it better are a separate concern from this merging the iOS way into the Mac way.
Speaking from my experience. All comments here are my own.

- Exceptional work/life balance that you will not find anywhere else.

- I started at 100k fresh out of masters program, at 5 YOE I was 150k. Goes up steadily YoY.

- The labs operate like a variety of small businesses. This is because there are many projects and funding sources from a variety of customers.

- From what I hear some labs are super relaxed. Like Los Alamos. The working environment is unlike any other.

- It is typical for teams to be in the same building but have no idea about each other. Overlap and rework is common, but is improving.

- Performance reviews depends on the lab and whatever review process du jour HR wants. Where I am you are in competition with your peers. Limited bonus money. So you’ll need to go above and beyond your peers to get it.

- day to day is: you work on one or more projects that last anywhere from weeks to years and report to that projects principle investigator. The PI will interface with the customer and get funding.

- for software development we need to go through strict security processes that dictate what libraries and dev tools we can use. We use self hosted versions of popular tools like Mattermost and Gitlab. No cloud. GovCloud is typically too expensive for most customers unless your working on very well funded projects.

- Managers are hands off and mostly there to ensure corporate compliance activities get done. E.g training, timesheet, perf reviews,etc.

- High level of autonomy. So your expected to be knowledgeable in your area, able to learn quickly and able to work with and network with others to deliver results quickly to customers. For example, you might be tasked with implementing an algo a staff scientist came up with in C++ for an ARM board. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t done that before. Your expected to learn C++, get a demo out, and maybe you can pull in some colleagues you previously worked with who are experts to help.

- There is a political structure in place and reputation is important. While it may not be as intense as FAANG, and underperforming is likely not to get you fired, if you consistently underperform folks will remember and your reputation will be permanently ruined. Which will result in not being picked for more desirable projects. And likely shunned. I’ve seen it happen a few times.

The lab was going to be a brief stint on my way to FAANG but will likely turn into my career.
I live in NM and meet quite a few people who work at Sandia Labs. I am sure it's not perfect but they seem pretty content. It's definitely not a high stress place. If anything, it's too slow and relaxed for some people.
I'm not defending this kind of shit at all, but when it comes to marketing/advertising imagery everything is staged and dolled up - and it's nothing new.

Back in the 90s my older sister left college a talented artist and promptly found the only real paying work available to her in the advertising industry. Every day she'd tell stories at the dinner table of what sounded to us like fraudulent advertising. Toothpicks holding buns off lettuce to make a burger look taller in the commercial, grapes dipped in oil before photographing to make them look shiny... I can't remember the others, it was a constant game of deceit.
Musk used smoke and mirrors to promote something that wasn’t real? I’m shocked. SHOCKED.
I don’t know whether you’re being coy but this is rumored to be his strategy.
Not in market value...
I love the MBP with the M1 chip, but my biggest gripe is it lacks dual monitor support natively. I shouldn't have to use DisplayLink to get the second monitor working. Just been working on a single monitor since I got this thing because I heard DisplayLink is a buggy resource hog.
What a strange response to this story.
Thanks, the Talk page is especially interesting here.

It's sad to see a company that has actually produced an excellent normal car, get so insane about its essentially fraudulent self-driving representations.
> Curiously, I always thought she was the owner of the house...

Same here. I always thought she was the "mom" of the house. It wasn't until I was an adult that I had enough context to understand the undertones.
Tesla is in the process of discovering that the electric car was in fact never a disruptive innovation in the Christensen sense. It's a sustaining innovation. Under the sustaining innovation model, the upstart is not likely to succeed because the innovation plays the the incumbents' strengths.

It's just taken time for the industry to respond.

I say this because I interpret Tesla'a nonstop obsession with self driving as an admission they're in a race they will lose. The feature is a gizmo that appeals to techies and can, for a time, prop up sagging unit margins. But it's a nice to have bobble at best compared to the real prize of dominating the car market.

Christensen book, The Innovator's Dilemma even specifically identifies the electric car as a potentially disruptive innovation, mapping the path an upstart could take to eventually dominate the car market. Tesla never took that path, and instead did the exact opposite. It sold social status to wealthy customers rather than basic transportation to an abandoned market.
I live in California, and I love it here, but the cancer warnings in everything really do absolutely nothing. They are comical at this point.
This has been pretty well established for a while, and confirmed by the WHO. But for some reason, that fact never seems to have gained much traction.
“Lenovo would crush Apple if it partnered with the Linux Community”

No it wouldn’t.

Users (the 99%) don’t care about privacy, tech, etc. They happily give their data up to TikTok (the CCP), Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple, etc. The Snowden revelations were met with a shrug or “I have nothing to hide”. This is well beyond established at this point (these platforms have billions of users).

They also don’t care about lock in - they just want stuff that works and adds as much as it can to their lives in as little effort as possible. The Apple ecosystem is incredibly successful because it does this exceedingly well. They view lock in as a positive - “All my stuff just works together - here’s more money Apple”.

The average person cares as much and is as involved in all of this as I am in understanding how my light switch is related to the function and operation of a nuclear reactor. The amount of care, time, thought, and energy I put into that is the cumulative total of the three seconds I spend interacting with light switches everyday.

I’m not disparaging users. I use the nuclear reactor analogy because I don’t care, I don’t need to care, and I shouldn’t have to care. I, (like most people) have only so much bandwidth for time, energy, and passion. I leave worrying and caring about all of that up to everyone from the people who mine uranium to the electrician that wires up the switches.

On HN we're the uranium miners, nuclear physicists, power companies, linemen, and electricians. We're the few people who do know and care about any of this "tech stuff".
I used to work on person portable mass spectrometers. The biggest innovation hurdle is pulling vacuum in the MS manifold (for quadrupole mass spectrometers, at least). Nifty that they're given that for free in space, roughly.
If Theranos was still around you'd be hired on the spot.
Throwaway since I'm going to say some negative things.

Overall I agree with almost all the positive things people say in other comments - the national labs have a lot of very smart and kind people, there are interesting things (or at least interesting ideas), and if you're at home at a university, you'll find a lot of kindred spirits.

But I made the opposite move you're considering and quit my national lab job and moved to FAANG. Why? Because I wasn't a scientific superstar with a clear vision, and IMO my field (applied math, computational science, etc.) seemed to asking (by which I mean funding) people to do software engineering without many engineers and at the same time still be academics: scientists and mathematicians who spend a lot of time writing grants and trying to publish papers, etc. This made me feel like a liar, writing the grants, and a hack, writing the code. Not to mention that like all academic-type and "interesting" jobs, you are supposed to be happy with the idea that you're going to expend a lot of your free time and energy, and perhaps not be paid quite as much as you would if you weren't pursuing your (supposed) passion.

Industry is for sure a whole other pile of bullshit, but don't assume that the performance review and promotion stuff is any more draining than the things you will have to do to get funding (you'll likely either be spending a lot of time writing proposals, or you'll be funded by weapons money). Don't make trying to get away from money and politics your reason for moving, though there are plenty of good reasons. Good luck!

Well Autopilot and stuff was sold exactly the way how weight loss industry works. Clients wanted to believe wink wink promises from charming self made billionaire CEO. I bet legal imprint in small letters at the time described the deal exact enough to be suspicious. Exact the same advertisement I get from companies who repair old concrete foundations. There are 2 pages in small font describing when repair may fail and the company is not responsible. So it’s clear to me, that it’s not a good deal. Probably the same as adding full self driving package to a car without ultrasonic sensors with a claim, that it can park itself.
if there is not enough data then all we can do is increase model size, which supports my original point
I also use Dart to create native binaries! Just because it's so easy. I have a real CLI app that does quite a lot of stuff, and it's less than 8MB. And runs really fast! At least around as fast as a Java native app compiled with native-image (GraalVM), but I hate native-image because it takes MINUTES to compile and sometimes does not behave exactly like the JVM-version (Dart doesn't even need to compile, you can run from source, and when you want to compile to binary it still takes just a few seconds).
These are great updates. I couldn't be happier with mullvad. The VPN space is saturated with a lot of VPNs constantly advertising with borderline false claims (a VPN won't stop advertisers from targeting you for example) and adding unrelated features (like an anti-virus). But mullvad is off to the side providing a high quality, truly private, VPN service at a great price.
That's because there's not conclusive evidence that smoking only marijuana causes cancer - especially to the same degree as tobacco.

While it may seem like "smoke is smoke", that doesn't appear to hold for marijuana - and it's not clear why.
The old setting app was nowhere near the mess Windows settings apps are. And I'm not quite sure what's so complicated about the old settings for iOS users? It is way more non power users friendly than the old windows control panel and imho actually more simple and easier to use than iOS settings (where I find it impossible to find anything without search and search doesn't even work that great there..)

I have a Dell Workstation from work (Specifically a Linux supported one, whatever that means) using linux and my personal Macbook Air M1 is running Asahi Linux.

I really ran into no issues, the experience was almost scarily smooth. Everything just works. Sleep is definitely worse than on MacOS but it’s better than my Dell.

I can’t name a single thing that is not equally bad or worse on the Dell.
Is there a lot of work left in nuclear weapons?
> If I were a corporation looking for an LLM for some product feature, I would absolutely go for the one with more "woke" opinions, even if if resulted in a worse customer experience.

How about instead of preferring the LLM with "woke" opinions, you would prefer an LLM that was simply trained to avoid controversial topics?

That way, you could use it for your product while still avoiding both bias and media/government backlash.

Are you aware that by being biased towards "woke" opinions you are basically alienating about 50% of the population or so?
The Prius is still one of the most commonly used vehicles for rideshare & taxis, and I am 100% certain this is due more to long term lower cost of ownership than any other factor. Whether that success can be replicated in large trucks is an open question, but like you I very much want to see more research & data on it.
This is super common, (and the mark of a bad programmer if you program the same in every language).
What's funny is the opposite - people who get so into ruby that everything they write is cute and overthought - is actually worse.

Ruby is so powerful but simplicity is the best if other people are going to read and maintain your code. Go is great for this.
Well, it wasn't me who pointed that out, but I agree with that. Whether it is bad, less bad or good is quite irrelevant to whether it is true. America had government censorship regimes for centuries, I fully agree with that. It has an awful government plagued by similar kinds of bureaucratic diseases that we can notice elsewhere. What is more, it is a quite atrocious government with regards to human rights of its non-citizens and sometimes even with regards to its own citizens. That said, it still provides far more speech protections than any other country in the world.
Trump isn't particularly right wing let alone far right. This is probably still the best takedown of that idea:

https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/11/16/you-are-still-crying-w...

Trump is politically/ideologically center left. He has very little to say about wokeism, was fine with vaccine mandates, and said things like this:

"America must reject the bigotry of Hillary Clinton who sees communities of color only as votes, not as human beings worthy of a better future."

Also he was a Democrat in the past.

The term far right doesn't make any sense if you think about it for a second. It's not just in American politics. People describe the NSDAP as "far right" even though it was largely indistinguishable from the USSR which everyone agrees was far left. Far right would logically be the extreme inverse of communist countries like China or the USSR: shrink the government at any cost, freedom of speech without limits, repealing laws en masse, refusing to take over the world and so on. So extreme libertarianism. In practice though, this isn't what people mean when they say far right.
It reads like yoda said the command. And I don’t mean that in a good way.
Ignoring the good in pursuit of the perfect is a cause of many ills. Consider the gross loss of trust when someone who has had an account for 16 years, almost since the establishment of the platform, is treated with suspicion. Businesses owe some accountability to their customers, including free users whose data they sell.

"Software Tools" by Kernighan & Plauger, perhaps.

The original was in Ratfor, which is a Fortran dialect. That being similar syntax but more limited than C is not a bad intro language.
Perhaps if the risk were quantified somehow, things would improve? Could be incorporated into the Nutrition Facts label, even.
Interesting!
Was about to ask- how do you remember to log and how do you analyze the data from paper.

I have to admit the solution you describe was a pleasure to read because that is exactly what I'm building :) promotion was not my goal here but would happily share a link to the beta if you're interested.

edit: will add the link as well since your description is so on spot (other than my app uses the notifications action menu for the tracking). It's for ios and still in beta but pretty stable so feel free to sign up. would love to hear if you found it (at least potentially) useful https://www.t12n.io
It’s not just correlation. We do have a good reason to expect that alcohol causes cancer. First, we see increased cancer in areas the alcohol and decomposition products touches/interacts with (mouth, esophagus, colon, liver, etc.). The exception is the breast cancer correlation, but there is an explanation for that too (based on a secondary metabolic pathway). We don’t see, for example, alcohol causing lung cancer or brain cancer. Second, we know alcohol breaks down into likely carcinogens.
I told you so.

> This is also how Zoox, Tesla, and Cruise do their demo videos to scam more money out of investors: they collect ultra-HD maps in a very narrow area or a very specific route. Then they drive the route/area about a thousand times, recording each drive. Then they upload the drive with the fewest mistakes to YouTube.

My work machine is a 14 inch Macbook Pro and my personal machine is a Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360.

The Galaxy Book has a Samsung OLED (I also had a Galaxy Chromebook 4K OLED), it is a beautiful display with up to 400 nits brightness....

The 14 inch macbook pro lays a massive beatdown on it in an extremely hardcore way: Up to 1000 nits full display brightness with HDR capabilities up to 1,600 nits.

OLED displays are limited on peak brightness and it is brutal when you see it, the Macbook Pro 14 actually reduces peak brightness to 100 more than a standard OLED display to save battery. but grab a tweak like this: https://www.getvivid.app/ and you can crank it all the way up to 1000.
