The fact labour will support it (the even crazier version) is why the government will not bring it to a vote. It will die in committee like the last 17 drafts. It's already been sent to the Lords committee with Rishi saying it will be a "long hard journey" (or words to that effect). Given the terrible polls you'd have to be pretty suicidal to risk bringing down your own government and forcing an election. Not to say there are not plenty of crazy tories, just that they're usually more self-interested than that...

Java doesn't sound right for your use case. Most programs written in Java works just fine without tracking memory, and if you have any issues you do a jvm memory dump to see which object types are taking up all that memory and then look at why they weren't collected.

Yes. I feel that the tech media has done a terrible disservice by recommending the 8GB Apple M1 laptops. I am not sure what it is about that architecture but they are completely unusable under load in a way that's not true of my 2015 i5 laptop which also has 8GB of RAM (which is slow all the time, but not as bad at the worst times as the M1 was).
No idea why they don't just stick one of the iPhone cameras in there. Heck, use the last gen camera. If the camera isn't too big for the iphone then it's not too big for a laptop- especially with the notch.
i have similar issues with my m1 max, using an ultrawide monitor while in clamshell
I recently worked for a company that I ultimately realized by the time I was leaving that the whole thing was a BS job. I was doing real, good work, but the entire org was so dysfunctional that the project was doomed to failure. And I'm not entirely sure that ultimately this wasn't known somehow from the top; idk, I really feel like the CIO who was running it had some significant problems, she did a lot of magical thinking/was delusional.
If the plain M2 in the Air supports up to 24 Gb, they could have let the Pro support 48...

I don't need much CPU on the Mac (the arm transition forced me to get an x86 linux box in addition to it) but my ram needs are 24-30 Gb on average. 32 Gb is not future proof for my usage, 48 might have been.

All they need now is to cancel the Studio and make the only option a Mac Pro starting at 6000 :)
The onus is really on you to back up your claim that 8GB/256GB isn't enough.

I don't see what iPads have to do with this at all. Surely tablet vs desktop is an entirely different decision.
I read it as “the vast majority of people the government is after, the general public is okay with them being pursued.”
The same site has a complete archive of "Ham Radio" magazine.

Wayne Green was the publisher of Byte magazine, which he started when he recognized hobby computing that the hams that read his "73" magazine were doing.

I thought it was interesting that the first edition of Byte had an article about hobby computing with a LSI-11, which is a PDP-11 variant.
Seconded. I've never hesitated with an OS upgrade, and I've never experienced anything resembling a critical issue.

Reminds me of Chanje, the Chinese EV manufacturer that went bust. I bought one of their beluga-enormous white vans from Ryder for a song and it’s wonderful. Chanje scaled all the way up to million unit beluga-enormous EV van production on Chinese government incentives and then immediately went bankrupt when the incentives went away.
> The difference in used RSS is also quite interesting in this comparison.

YJIT 3.1 was eagerly allocating it's executable memory region regardless of whether it was needed or not. With the default settings that meant an extra 256M of RSS right at boot.

As mentioned in TFA that's no longer the case in 3.2, so expect this RSS number to go down by at least a good 200MB once they upgrade to 3.2.
I feel like Apple has forgotten what makes their Macs so successful, which is the seamless experience. I always wanted to own the latest one but not anymore, will stick with Linux.

The pattern is the point. I don't think people are going to catch on because it's fun for them to ride the wave. If the man on the tv tells me M&Ms are not sexy anymore and that's bad, I have a week of outrage over it before he tells me gas stoves are good.

Those outside of that loop see it as obvious, but when you are in it, it's real hard to get to the surface.
Strange how so many of these smart and skilled business owners fail to appropriately pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

Isn’t that what they always tell “the poors” to do?
[ninja author]

Ninja build targets in a semi-arbitrary order: the memory order of the pointers to the objects representing the build steps. This was chosen in part because it was easy but also because it was a little unpredictable (in the same sense as this nice shuffling idea). In practice I might expect the pointers to get allocated in the order they're encountered while parsing though, so perhaps similar to Make.

My recollection is we experimented a bit with different prioritizations but didn't find any that reliably were better. It does seem like you could try prioritizing "longer" tasks. (There are also more complex models that take into account the graph; I have been mentally drafting a blog post about this area, there's some interesting research history...)

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).

In my newer n2 experiment, which was designed to be a little easier to hack on, the place you could play with prioritization is right here:
https://github.com/evmar/n2/blob/d64412ae74ddff4e85329f390a0...

The "available to run" tasks are in a deque there (which also means steps go in parse order) but you could easily imagine changing it to some sort of priority structure.
Have worked at Sandia for 12 years. Will probably retire in another 20.

Pay is good. I make $145,000. That is low for Sandians with 12 years experience I think, but have had some atypically low points in my Sandia career. You can make more in 'private industry' (other defense contractors) even in Albuquerque but you will lose work-life-balance

Benefits are very good. 3 weeks paid vacation. 2 weeks unpaid. Flexible work schedule: normal hours, or 9/80, or 4/10. Generous 401k match, plan supports roth mega backdoor, HDHP+HSA available. Good WFH was slow to arrive, but corona fixed that. Nobody has ever disturbed me on vacation or implied I should not take one.

Location is ok. Abq is high crime and NM is a poor state with poor outcomes but it is very rugged beautiful. Don't knock LCOL, it provides wonderful peace of mind, and the bad parts can be easily avoided, but maybe you won't like it. Relative to NM, Los Alamos is outlier with very good outcomes (crime nil, public schools among best in nation), because it is a place that only exists due to LANL. Sandia CA is option but while Sandia Abq pays well for Abq, Sandia CA pays very bad for CA. Californians often poached by FAANG.

Clearance means govt will look up your ass, and often. You must report all 'meaningful' foreign interactions, including friends/family. Investigations occur every five years. Random drug tests: get a phone call that tells you to go to the medical facility and piss today, or you're fired. 'Forgetting' to pick up your phone only holds them off for so long. Some (rare) clearances have worse requirements: must report all dual citizens not just foreigners; random polygraphs; must ask permission to leave the country; but again, these are rare. Easy to opt out of such a clearance and it will hardly limit your opportunities at all.

Project work varies. Nuclear is the mission but Sandia has expanded to wider govt contracts. Nuclear weapons, non-nuclear weapons/military, CIA/FBI/NSA partnerships, all are possible. If this is against your morals, there are other options, but probably better to work elsewhere. Would be like working for Google while hating ads. Myself, I am okay with thise things. I have not encountered govt abuses, nor any projects I consider inherently immoral, but perhaps I am naive.

I have had good projects and bad projects. Sandia is broadly 10+ years behind the curve at software engineering. There are pockets that are better, but eg version control is spotty in some places, lots of crufty old codebases. I think a symptom of being primarily an elec/mech/chem eng shop since the 50s. But there are 12000 people and if you find the right department, combined with the job benefits it is heaven. I have, and will stay till I retire. It's the perfect job for me.
I'm confused. Don't iCE40 have a PLL?

I do not have that specific devboard, but I've run designs at ~70MHz.
> In an average Google Earth quarter, only 3-5% of bug reports were traceable to memory safety problems, and Address Sanitizer made them trivial to reproduce in development mode.

Bug reports, sure. But as for security vulnerabilities, both Microsoft and Google have reported that roughly 70% of them were memory safety issues.

Personally, as a Rust fan, I fully agree that the borrow checker limits developer velocity, and I'd be happy to toss it if I could. But verdagon has been promising memory safety with no overhead for years; I'll believe it when I see it.

Edit: Okay, that was unfair to say without further context, so let me add two things. First, although Vale is open source, the design has changed over time and the implementation was described as a "work-in-progress" as of two months ago. [1] Second, a month before that, verdagon described the design as providing "statistical safety", meaning use-after-frees may fail to be caught but are caught "99.9999999999996% of the time". Now, stochastic exploit mitigations such as ASLR and PAC are valid defenses, as long as that 99...% also applies in the presence of an active attacker. But the specific design described (allowing generation counters to wrap) sounds like, in many scenarios, an attacker could manipulate it to provide no protection at all. There may be ways to mitigate this, but in context it does sound like it's designed under the assumption that memory safety violations will occur at random, rather than being designed to defend against attacks. This might be good enough for (some) games, but not for most Rust use cases.

Ok, you decouple UI from business logic, have some state machine written in language X let's say that can compile ios, android, and wasm and allows for interop with the kotlin, swift, and js. Even then, the view code is often the most complex and bug prone part of the app. Business logic is easy by comparison (in my opinion).
Interesting, how are you planning on adding those extra 8 gigabytes if RAM to an M1/M2 Mac? Do you know of a mod that will make the motherboard take DIMM slots?
You can usually ask ChatGPT to do a point/counterpoint to argue both sides of an issue and then get it to focus only on the counterpoint. Alternatively you can create a sci-fi scenario similar to the real world one and it will give a non-hall monitor view.
The talking head you see on television isn't a raw person. It's the product of a system.

The system needs a human mouthpiece to say crazy shit, and he gets up in front of a camera to say it. When Tom Hanks gets in front of a camera to pretend to be an astronaut, that is Tom Hanks, the media figure being an astronaut, not Tom Hanks, the person being an astronaut. He is also doing it on behalf of a media system. Its the same thing with that show.

And if we are going to complain about biases in systems, why aren't we starting with the one whose tagline is 'Fair and Balanced'?
They are talking about how the M2 Max can flexibly address the near entirety (like 90GB) of that to VRAM, the example here is in video memory, not system memory. On that P15 you linked you have only 4GB VRAM. Comparatively it's kinda a joke for this specific tasks.
Yes, lots of people have grown up unaware of their true parentage for various reasons and there's no commonly accepted definition of 'actually black' anyway, and the commonly accepted definitions vary by country, amongst other things, since they're mostly social categories.

In the US there used to be the 'one-drop' rule so 'passing' as white was a thing with genuine legal consequences, no matter how slight the genetics support for your categorization as something else, nowadays people lean towards self-identification but can still disagree on corner cases.

Correct, those were the AI getting things wrong. The case here is not about the AI getting things wrong. The legitimate complaint here is the current implementations have political overrides. That's censorship.
I worked at National Center for Biotechnology Information at the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health. It was a nice entry level job, pay was OK, environment was fantastic (low stress, extremely collegial), but without an MD or a Phd (many had both) my path there was relatively limited.

One other thing, I was absolutely blown away by the number of outrageously brilliant people I got to work with. Really some next level people.
Interesting! Is this because the exchange rate (currently 1.23 GBP:USD but has been lower recently) is fluctuating in the same range as the VAT rate (20%)?
What about the psychometric differences? Measuring them is not as straight forward as measuring height or weight. But they can be measured nonetheless, and they have predictive power.

It can be argued that the cause of those differences are social, instead of biological. But I'll note that

1. mental is rooted in physical too (e.g. hormones)

2. the sex differences can be seen cross-culturally
The opposite is actually the case. In order to get ChatGPT-like filtering you should probably use their moderation endpoint.

Thankfully the main model hasn't been Neutered yet, though it's certainly only a matter of time.

For instance, last night ChatGPT was refusing to generate fan fiction (this seems to be working better this morning?) whereas the main API was fine.

Ask HN: Do you have a smart system/method to track things in your life?
I wonder what kind of methods/ststems people use to try and track certain things in their life, and what is some of the things they're tracking.

One example of mine is to try and track how well I'm generally feeling, and related- whether, and how certain supplements and vitamins affect it.
Another one is how often do I get specific issues I'm suffering from (minor-medium inconveniences that I generally live with), such as stomach aches, back pains etc, and potentially help to figure out what's casing them.

I was really struggling to find a solution to this and I wonder what other smart systems people have.

Full disclosure: I'm working on an indie project trying to provide a cool solution to this (that's what I use) and was hoping to learn more about the subject from others.
Cruel optimism and lazy pessimism
Yes, I've got grid electricity, at least 360 days a year.

I do have and use heat pumps for heating the house; the fireplace is mostly decorative (it is properly setup to be effective at heating the room it's in, but it needs electricity to function and my generator can run the heat pumps, but maybe if the generator fuel got low). That's not going to replace my stove though. Maybe the water heater. (Oh and the clothes dryer, forgot about that one... but I've not seen good things about heat pump clothes dryers)

Make an account and get the answer from the horse's mouth!

Just realized there's a new acronym coming, along the lines of LMGTFY: LMCTFY. I'd bet someone will make a Messages plugin that will take the last message from the other party, ask it of ChatGPT, and then spit the response back as a reply, appending "I asked ChatGPT to get this answer, and you can too!".
I've worked at a few DOE sites albeit as a consultant not an FTE, Fermi, Los Alamos and a couple others. You are correct that the work is interesting and a like academic atmosphere, it was the academic atmosphere part that I found off putting. Where I worked there was very much a hierarchy and if you didn't have a PHD your opinion didn't matter much, you just did what you were told. Having a couple of decades of experience and being brought in to spin them up on their system and being talked down to on a daily basis like I was a Sophomore in college was really annoying -that said I'm a consultant so I get paid to be annoyed by the people who hire me. Aside from that I liked working there, the tech was cool, as far as the moral issues I don't ask nor do I want to know about what I'm working on -I don't have a need to know.
So I can't speak for the practices at Noma, but I used to work fine dining (front of house) for an upscale restaurant group based out of NY. There was a young man who started working prep / Garde Manger when he was around 15. He was a great worker, got put on the line, and around his 19-20 birthday the restaurant owner sat him down and asked him his goals. No idea the conversation, but it must have gone well because a week later he was on a plane to England to staj at The Fat Duck (three Michelin star, at time one of the top if not the top restaurant in the world). Not sure of the deal entirely, but my impression was his plane, lodging, and food (when he wasn't eating at the restaurant) was all paid for by our restaurant group. Probably a small stipend as well as he didn't come from money and had minimal means.
I think if we look historically, this sort of arrangement was a lot more common in the past. The top restaurants and chefs would sort of send their talent to other places to pick up new techniques. It was very much a rite of passage. Now it seems like everything, our late stage capitalism has bastardized it into more of a sweatshop mentality. Instead we have swarms of individuals out of cooking school sending their resume off to all the top restaurants. Chefs can then offer them unpaid internships with the promise 1 out of 20 may get a paying job if they are good. If anyone complains then there is another 100 resumes to choose from. Sad...
>What is it about our current American society that leads to basically a 50-50 split in registered voters?

It is a dynamic system which self corrects.

If one party loses to many voters, it corrects it's policy to bring it back to the middle.
For what it's worth, last I checked (Nov 2021) the image was rendered client side. They send a collection of glyphs as SVG strings like

"M31.9824,43.9453 L364.014,-719.971 L495.117,-719.971 L163.086,43.9453 L31.9824,43.9453 Z "

And then each line is a sequence of indices into the glyph array. There isn't a mapping back to letters, that I know of, but one could prepare a table of glyph to character for the fonts they commonly use. That could be used to extract books, but might be a bit complicated/fragile for your use case.

Any good Node.js parallelization libraries?
Or do I have to use something along the lines of Web Workers or NodeJS Worker Threads? I would prefer it if I had an API similar to Python’s concurrent.futures. What I really want is apply a function to an array in parallel (i.e. some parallel version of .map)
> Why does it feel the conversion rate for convincing people to "change their values" or "see things differently" is basically 0?

Because it happens slowly so it's hard to spot. But there are lots of cases where this does happen, albeit almost always people moving from left to right.

Recent case in point: Elon Musk. Now a hated figure by the left, only a few years ago he was firmly in the OpenAI style left-liberal camp (utopian tech, climate change, solutions-over-tradeoffs etc). He's now firmly on the right and sticking up for classical western values like freedom of speech, freedom of association and so on.

If you asked him he'd say he hasn't changed, the values of the left have changed. To what extent that's the case is left as an exercise for the reader.
My impression is that the current USN - at least the surface fleet - has enough deep problems with organization, enlisted quality & quantity, only-looks-good-on-paper systems, etc. that mere numerical superiority could not give it an edge over an actual peer navy. Read the in-depth reports on some of the collisions that USN warships have been involved in over the past ~10 years. Or the in-depth report on the loss of the USS Bonhomme Richard - a capital ship which "burned to the ground" (metaphorically) while sitting dockside in a huge USN base - because the crew, the base FD, and the on-board repair contractors f*cked around for ~1 1/2 hours - after knowing that the ship was on fire - unable to actually get a single fire hose spraying water on the known & easily accessible location of the fire. The local civilian FD, showing up at the scene dead last, and with no idea of even the ship's basic layout, managed to do that much.
