Love how smooth this is, even on a phone! Really well done, not just from a technical point of view, but aesthetically as well.

Given the controversy over the word "exploit", do you mind restating your belief without using the word "exploit" to make sure we all understand what you mean? Is this a fair restating?

The 80s is the perfect sweet spot for my go-back-in-time-and-share-modern-tech fantasies. It's recent enough for people to know about computers but just barely enough that they'd be absolutely blown away.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I wonder about the integration to those. I took a quick look, Obsidian has a plugin system, so it needs to fit that I suppose. Not sure about Logseq right now...

"Very domain specific" sounds like the need for a very specialized list. But it's hard to tell without knowing it. With the current approach it seems like some domains/use-cases work really over others (seemingly the "broader ones").
Or, if you just want get practice (internet) arguing, its always a good idea.

OFC, the other people need to be interested in arguing. Random debate is a valuable skill, and I don't know that I 100% agree that "consent" is important. There's a difference between harassing someone and letting them know you don't agree (we call that discourse), if they're not interested in continuing the conversation a lot of people will just stop talking. Otherwise, you don't get to say things and then have some shield that nobody will disagree with you, putting it in the public forum itself is the only consent needed.

The only major danger is when someone doesn't reply at all. The OP's article ignores the fact that argument is often not just about being right, but about winning the perception. I think it is probably better (with someone who is not being disingenuous or harassing) to state if you don't have time or interest to reply, rather than letting the other argument hang -

- the last, simplest thing said usually sticks out in onlookers brains, not the 5 paragraphs of well (or not well) thought out response.
The bar for onsite got rediculoisly low at on point. It varied quite a bit by org but many new hires were clearly not the same caliber as previous years.

I found this out recently after being perm banned from Reddit for making too many dirty jokes. It was merely a creative writing exercise for me that I didn't take seriously. Not being able to comment made me realize though I was subconsciously always looking for the worst most absurd filthy angle to setup the joke. So I probably enjoy using the site more now though I'm still annoyed at being targeted by moderators because most of my silly jokes were very well received and upvoted by actual users.

I am just wondering, if they trained the model exclusively with real-world data, where are the nonsense answers? People don't always answer seriously. Think reddit threads. Handpicking would probably not be feasible, so how did they do it? Or is there a snarky reddit response somewhere deep inside the model for every question?

So, some of this also depends on the implications of the word caregiver. I went through a year in which I was the sole care giver to someone that needed assistance walking most days and some days even with their walker would fall. (Fortunately for us, this turned out to be temporary and they are doing much better now, still some lingering issues...)

If you are providing larges amounts of care daily? Yeah, it's brutal. Between work and helping them I was maybe sleeping 4-6 hours a night and regularly having to deal with emergencies. I don't have a great answer in this case other than lean on family. We couldn't do this, but I know folks who are in similar boats who have had some success here.

If it is more a slow illness, this is the right time to find something stable. I know it's tempting to want to find the eye popping salaries but finding something that covers costs reliably and you can plan is much easier. Stable may not be glamorous but it keeps insurance paid for.
I don't buy it. The decision of who a company hires at what level of compensation rests nearly entirely in a class of individuals consisting of those very same people being hired at some level of compensation. Expecting the executive class to screen and compensate itself based on actual merit rather than mutual favors is akin to expecting congresspersons to vote on their own raises, or expecting cops to investigate themselves for corruption/wrongdoing, or otherwise expecting a committee of wolves to make a decision on tonight's dinner that's in the best interest of sheep.

If it was about competence, then the competent executives would've pushed out the incompetent ones in favor of competent replacements sourced from the general public. Instead, they do the precise opposite, favoring incompetent incumbents and fighting tooth and nail against competent replacements sourced from the general public. That fight is in vain: like any fight between the aristocracy and bourgeoisie, the latter has the actual skill and knowledge to win... only for their descendants to inherit their wealth and become the new aristocracy, against which a new bourgeoisie struggles - and rinse and repeat.

Put simply: it's the same Old Money v. New Money bullshit we've seen for as long as the concept of wealth has existed.
What are some tech podcasts which dive really deep into the tech?
Thank your for this post, the map is amazing.

Unfortunately I live in a class 8-9 (5190µcd/m2) location right now, but recently I have been to a class 2 (6.41µcd/m2) location and in moonless nights the sky was indeed fantastic and incredibly immersive.

I have plans to move to the latter country in a few years time (for many reasons, but low population density and a lot of breathtaking nature/wilderness being among the top reasons).

It’s not an either/or someone with experience should be able to do both, at my current job and my prior two jobs, I was specifically hired because the manager was looking to bring on someone who could lead initiatives and was a subject matter expert.

Well my last two jobs prior to my current one - the current company I work for has quite a few people who know my specialty well…

Here are the graphs, as promised.

https://i.imgur.com/bo0s7b0.png

Yes, these charts are horrific.

I am showing daily energy generation for the last three months and the same period 12 months ago for comparison.

I have also added day charts for January 14th through the 19th of this year (the period indicated by the red arrow) for readers to get a sense of what solar reality looks like. I've done this because it is too easy to say "On January 17th we generated 42.6 kWh" and fail to understand that between 12:20 and 13:15 the system dropped from 6.672 kW to 1.632 kW (power, not energy).

Intelligent readers will be able to take these charts, play with some very basic numbers and understand the significant issues facing solar.

If I wanted to have a system that delivered a reliable, usable 40 kWh of energy per day it would likely grow from the 13 kWh array I have today to somewhere between 50 kWh and 100kWh (if not more). And, on top of that, I would probably need somewhere in the order of 400 kWh of batteries for storage. In other words, an unrealizable monster.

I know people are going to laugh at these numbers. These are the folks who never bother to fire-up a spreadsheet, run the numbers and reason. Take a look at the daily chart for January and tell me how much energy you would need to store to be able to have a real 40 kWh per day supply and how large the array would have to be. Then tell me how you are going to charge that pack in December, because it has to be fully charged so you can use it in January. That's the reality you need to understand. And the only way you will is to do the math.

And, BTW, this is living in Southern California. Almost anywhere north of this latitude --places with far more weather-- the situation is even worse.
I wonder if the valid NOPs "payload" are used by debuggers?
Was thinking the exact same thing. Most users of social media (or currency) don't care how it works, just that other people are using it.

Crypto and fediverse are solving problems almost nobody gives a shit about. The only way either get traction is if they're better in some way most people care for.
In reality, all three people think their reasoning equates to '1 + 1 = 2', and don't understand how others are so naive not to see.
People that have a family but don’t focus on it will never be exceptional employees.

They will tell themselves sweet little lies all day about how their need for external validation and appearance of being busy / important is actually in service of their family.

They lack the ability to reflect, put something more important above them when there is no validation, and won’t take honest ownership either.
The scratchspace could be in natural language, preserving some debugeability and letting us know about the model mental process.

This is doable but it introduce a sequential dependency which would make the training significantly slower.

The answer is simple - there is no functioning city level garbage collection/disposal system. Outside of a handful of cities, there is no system to regularly collect garbage and dispose it properly. This is due to the sheer size and population of the cities combined with government and citizen apathy, lack of manpower, lack of funds, lack of knowledge etc.

Lets see how it works generally in cities - millions of homes do their daily cleaning, there is no where to dump this garbage, so it is thrown street side or somewhere in a nearby small dump (https://scroll.in/article/802978/as-garbage-continues-to-pil...), then it is not collected for weeks, finally when it is collected it is thrown in a bigger dump (https://www.newsweek.com/trash-mountain-india-could-taller-t...). Only Indore that I know of (https://www.outlookindia.com/national/how-indore-became-the-...) is doing proper garbage collection and disposal.

p.s. my knowledge may not be fully up-to-date.
That is decimating.
Yeah, it’s unfortunate that it hasn’t come to market. Ford has the eco boost 3.5L engine in the Transit but not its Powerboost hybrid cousin from the F150. It would be an ideal engine for a camper van.
All these technicalities.

For someone to break the mainline parentage they would have to:

1. Do that ugly merge of mainline into their feature branch[1]

2. When they are ready to “incorporate” their commits into mainline: do a fast-forward since that’s apparently possible

But the proposed setup contradicts this chain of events: if their Git config was set up to do a fast-forward when possible, then a proper merge (a merge commit) wouldn’t have happened in stage 1 if mainline and `feature` had not diverged. And since that means that the two have diverged (evidenced by the merge commit), you cannot do a fast-forward in step 2.

And even if the above somehow is not true: step 2 is impossible because now `feature` contains a merge commit from mainline into `feature`, which mainline does not have. So a fast-forward is impossible.

What am I missing here?

[1] Oh right, I have to be specify now: a proper merge, a merge commit. The one with two parents, not an octopus one. Explicit enough already?

> You _want_ that to fast-forward when possible or everyone will create a merge commit every time they pull updates.

Surely this makes only a tiny difference in practice. We’re just a handful of developers and people usually diverge from mainline before they get their PR merged. So there are merge commits going from mainline into feature branches absolutely everywhere, because only two or three of us use rebase.

But I do in fact seem to recall talking to one of the other developers about him breaking the conventional commit parentage at some point in the history. So there is some bump there, a few years back.

But the usual story is that the people on our project do all those nasty merges on their own branches and then use the “merge” button in the Web UI when they get their PR approved. And there is in fact a fast-forward option there, but it’s not like we ever get to use it (unless we rebase) since mainline has diverged already. (I wouldn’t personally use it for “merging” (incorporating my changes) into mainline.)
10 years ago I was put at risk of redundancy with the rest of my team. I was ultimately fortunate to keep my job and was told later I was never at risk, they just had to include the whole team for some HR reason. However due to the stress at the time both my mental health and physical health (IBS) hasn't been the same since.
Someone posted on HN recently that they slowly drink wine from a mug during remote interviews to calm themselves. People also recommended a light beta-blockers (which are incidentally used to cheat in some concentration sports like bow+arrow shooting). It sounds like a good strategy.

Ask HN: Declarative HTTP API test DSL/tool?
I remember a http/api testing tool that was posted some weeks/months back here on HN. It used a DSL that looked like:

GET http://api.example.com

EXPECT status_code 200
EXPECT result match xyz

or something like that - that was the idea. I don't remember the exact verbs used.

I have tried search and looked thru hundreds of results without finding it.

Please help? Any other tool that is similar (declarative description of http calls and expected results) would also help.

Thank you.
Sleep deprived is also a good guess in my opinion!
It is useful to use an existing legal op code for this, because the code is still compatible with older (or less optimized) cpus that don’t exhibit the behavior.
When I put webassembly into google the very first result has this to say:

> WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine.

Yes, browsers implement this nowadays but there are other implementations as well. You can compile them into llvm bytecode for example or there's another for the GraalVM etc
Ultrasound can't penetrate lungs (bags of gas) so probably not, you can see things like effusions, pneumothoraces, and maybe a peripheral consolidation.

Regardless, the stethoscope has (for better or worse) already been replaced for a while, at least for in-hospital care at larger US/Canadian community/academic settings, by chest x-ray and/or the increasing straight jump to CT pulmonary angiography.

The amount of patients with respiratory complaints presenting acutely that leave hospital without radiology department imaging is probably <10% today.

Physical exam skills as a whole are dying, abdominal pain is similarly a straight jump to CT or US these days, often before a physical exam is even documented (was it even done?). Even more true for gynaecological concerns (not debating whether or not this more ethical, but it's very rare to see ER physicians perform a vaginal exam these days before ordering ultrasound).

In terms of the utility of POCUS, the heterogeneity in training has been a barrier to adoption by clinicians in Canada (I imagine similarly in the US). While POCUS is performed by ER/internal medicine, patients are still being sent to radiology for formal imaging before definitive management takes place, even for more straightforward cases like gallstones and kidney stones. Presently, very few POCUS studies are formally uploaded to a patient's record in my current hospital (largest institution in Canada) although that is increasing and clinician competence at POCUS is slowly rising.

The FAST exam in trauma settings is probably one of the only reliable POCUS uses at the moment, and echocardiography.

All your program does is pair A vs B 2/9 of the time, B vs C 2/9 of the time, and A vs C 2/9 of the time (pairing a die against itself the remaining 3/9 times).

So it approximates wins = 10000 * 2/9 * [58%+31%, 42%+58%, 42%+69%] = 20000/9 * [89%, 100%, 111%].

(Note these percentages are rounded, e.g 21/36 to 58%).

This is just averaging the win and loss percentages of each coin against the 2 others, not "a conventional metric" like expected value of a roll which are all the same as a regular die (3.5).
Usually you need your weapon to move much faster than the target. A rocket, like s Javelin or an NLAW, apparently moves fast enough to hit s tank or an APC. You don't necessarily need much-much faster, but it's important to pack a punch.

But against a rocket you need a weapon that's much faster than a rocket. A laser (or a maser) reaches a rocket in negligible time, and may be very fast to retarget.

A rocket can't have ablative armor on the side, it will be blown away instantly. Landing space capsules have an ablative cover on the bottom. Also, landing capsules only decelerate, so they can afford to carry much more mass for evaporation than a rocket that needs to accelerate and maneuver.

The best a rocket can do us to become highly shiny. It's not as easy though to be shiny in a wider spectrum, from optical to deep IR or even sub-millimeter. I can imagine a multi-color ray gun :)

So I think ray guns are going to be more widespread as anti-missile defense systems, to intercept incoming rockets, warheads, and even shells. At least one actually exists (in Israel), and works.
100KW of optical power in a truck-sized package at last. 100KW has been said to be the point at which lasers became militarily useful.
