I believe that is is a right. Every machine I've built in the last ~12 years had had ECC. Nobody is trying to take that ability away from me. I treat my machine as a "workstation". I run several VMs. I keep my machines for a few years. I clean the filters periodically.

Do game machines need ECC? I'd say no. They are optimized for cost-performance. The worse that can happen with a memory error is a lost game.
I don't see how that's relevant to the question of whether frogs "mind" being skewered by birds, which is the question I read from your post.
Looks similar to YouTube Music, from what I can see on the screenshots. What is there that you miss about it?
Because the implication here is that the reason that diversity metrics are what they are is because of innate genetic talent for working at tech company which is nonsense. Relating that to the NBA wouldn’t make sense whatsoever.
Sheer force of will has limits though. And we all make tradeoffs. Nuclear in particular has some pretty huge obstacles, both real and imaginary.

Folks who truly never compromise or give up are great, except when they pick the wrong horse.
ERGs in the companies I've been in has been a way to redirect the organising types into something that is probably cost-neutral after considering the PR wins rather than have them focus on union-type things they might otherwise get into that are just straight up cost to the company.
GP was giving generally accepted as sound advice. Regardless of how things ought to be, seeking and considering the advice of your counsel while in a lawsuit is a good idea.
This is polished technically. There are of course nitpickings but ... one person, with some patreon support, in their bedroom. It's incredible.
> They have, although the article gets it wrong - the U.K. did not ban it in 1986, [...]

> It was banned in state funded schools in 1986.

The article refers to “public schools” in the American sense (i.e., state funded schools)—and would be wrong otherwise, since sone of the states that ban it in public school do not in private schools. So, when it talks aboit banning it in England, it refers to the same thing: corporal punishment in state-funded schools. So the article is correct.
I'm not conflating anything - it is assault or battery when done to an adult, and it is no less assault or battery when done to a child whether or not the law recognises it.

Try to do anything to another adult with consent and you'll have criminal charges.

> You can't ground another adult, or take away their stuff. You can with your child.

You can tell another adult they are grounded all you want. You just can't rely on physical violence to enforce it.

With respect to possessions, there's a stark difference between bodily autonomy and property.

That you're stretching to the point of comparing violence with taking away their stuff is disgusting.
I’ve experienced this same thing. Very frustrating when you get downvoted for pointing out the flaws of commonly held misconceptions which only novices would fall for. I hate to gatekeep hobbies, but the bar for entry to speaking with authority on Reddit is too low.
> imprisonment is reversible

Straw man. Nobody said this. It’s easier to reverse unserved time. And it’s easier to calculate money damages for mis-spent time.
So are the deaf, the blind, and the height impaired.
>I think what I learned from the experience is at some point you’ve got to compartmentalize harmful people from your groups and inevitably a growing number of segments of society, even if that feels wrong in some way. It’s more wrong to let them perpetually abuse people.

this strikes me as similar to the concept of being for life imprisonment over the spending of resources towards rehabilitation.

To throw people to the wayside because YOU have determined them to be 'UN-fixable' IS wrong. It's useful for YOU to compartmentalize them out of your life because they represent a personal burden -- but this doesn't help them improve themselves or their conditions; it may not be your responsibility to help them improve -- but many of these people are hopeless without outsider intervention, they need help, not partitioning. If you can't help them then the next best thing is to make an effort to find them help, not to shut the door in their face.

>It’s more wrong to let them perpetually abuse people

what do you think happens when you make yourself lost contact with these people? Well, having been 'compartmentalized' earlier in life and never receiving any help or social training, they continue to perpetually abuse other people.

Ironically the strategy of isolating them from oneself likely increases or prolongs their time 'out of step' with society -- all it does is protects YOU from the damage the person might do.

All I can say is that i'm glad the entire world doesn't take your advice of 'compartmentalizing harmful people', otherwise this place would be a pretty brutal world to live in.
> let alone what you'd expect from a guy you describe him as one of your top 5 founders.

I've been investing since 2007. One of the things I've seen is a founder that managed to sell a company that by rights should have folded, made a bunch of money for himself and for the investors and ended up starting another one which was a much bigger success. I would bet on that guy any day. The assumption when starting a company is that it will fail. A founder that manages to make it to any kind of exit is already exceptional, and depending on the circumstances their performance may inspire further trust or a reduction of that trust. In this case, apparently even though the business did not see the returns originally envisioned Sam came through in ways that inspired those that invested to increase their trust factor.

And having seen a similar case I don't think that is something strange at all. Maybe another CEO would have caused that $30M to evaporate.
That sounds like straight up deception, to be fair.
60 kwh at 4 kilowatt gives you 15 hours of heat in a van in cold weather. Granted, you may not need full 4 kilowatt of heat at all tines, so let's say it's one full day. You drive to BigSky Montana to ski and after two days your RV is frozen solid, including all the water and everything is dead and leaking. All you can do at this point is to try and find a shore hookup or an EV charger. But of course the batteries won't even charge because they are too cold.

Electric RV, you just can't, sorry.
Ok, but please don't post unsubstantive/flamebait comments to HN.

This is a classic generic-ideological comment (i.e. reflexive repetition of common talking point on divisive topic, with zero new information).

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...
Gotta hand it to the article author, though, the article practically writes itself and is guaranteed high engagement via hate-reading.
Note that memtest86 is a test application, not a means of ensuring integrity: it writes known patterns into memory in order to test it. Windows also has a built-in version which has the same limitations: you reboot into a special mode where it runs the test, it doesn't work online or validate actual application data.

The OS layer is probably the hardest place to do online application data integrity checking: it's too low level to know what data is important and which parts will change and why in a way which allows checksumming to work effectively and efficiently, but too high above the hardware to be able to check the integrity of memory without a massive performance penalty (especially when it comes to how memory is moving in and out of caches). Most solutions work at a higher level in the application itself or lower level with ECC RAM as mentioned in the article.
I agree. I’m an Asian immigrant and like most Asians my parents used corporal punishment sometimes and it was an effective tool. (Relevant: https://fb.watch/iaTKO2jJnB/?mibextid=vTn5qL.) I don’t use corporal punishment with my kids, because my wife is a white American, and well we’ll see how they turn out.

There is a rational argument for corporal punishment of kids. A human brain isn’t fully developed until age 25. You can’t reason with kids. There is a place for physical consequences that kids can understand with their limited cognitive capabilities.

The move to ban corporal punishment doesn’t seem to have produced equally effective alternatives. At least from my experience in America, it seems like parents just simply put up with poorly behaved kids. It’s a sort of luxury belief. In a subsistence economy you need kids to behave because mistakes can be fatal. In rich country, you can put up with poorly behaved kids because you just have so much margin.
Teran shot a state trooper immediately before he was shot. I'd say his shooting was justified.

This is a parade of shitty disingenine crappy posting, that favors pathetic minor technicalities over the main use & actuality. Shame on you. I was trying to inform a little bit while 90% agreeing & you have brought confusion & misdirection at every turn. Seriously bad mojo dude, just awful. Almost no users will experience what you describe. It's still phenomenally good & great, excellent, a world better, but you are still using a 0.001% case, a technical possibility, to say you arent wrong, while admitting nothing, no caveats, to the 99.999% who wont experience what you are promosing. Kill your insane ego & be reasonable, think of all the people you are misleading just a little bit.

If you seriously think io_uring completely supplants any and all reason for projects like kernel-wasm, I continue to disagree. I'd agree that io_uring captures a huge amount of the potential value, makes things much better. But there's still barriers that get crossed in io_uring & considering other options, in my humble view, is interesting. I have seen zero willingness on your side to entertain any such possibility.

> with no evidence backing up the claims

While the post fails to directly present evidence, and could be improved by doing so, given the nature of the complaint perhaps simply searching in the bug tracker and related forums would easily surface said evidence.
Crypto as a competitor to SWIFT is kind of interesting though. SWIFT is basically a fast international transfer. Crypto is actually pretty great for that because you can do a fast transfer against domestic crypt/fiat pairs and after the int'l crypto transfer dump back into fiat so the currency risk is relatively low. Using SWIFT / int'l fiat transfer to buy crypto makes no sense.

In short cutting off SWIFT from crypto exchanges is a nothing burger because domestic crypto/fiat pairs are available and int'l transfer of crypto bypasses SWIFT.
I can only hope this is true! DEI has been an increasing cause of active discrimination against majority-population groups, and gives powerful roles to the most jealous, historically uneducated, politics playing people in each company. It has made working on tech almost unbearable for many years. The sooner it’s over the better, and I hope we never go back to it.

Not to mention that the longer DEI lasts, it will discredit any future attempts to address any actual issues with the distribution of opportunity in our society.
The UN Convention on the Rights of a Child specifically does not mention the use of corporal punishment and makes no binding requirement of any of its signatories to refrain from the use of corporal punishment. Such interpretations that have been attempted to be made from articles within the Convention have been rejected by multiple nations, including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
I help run the Interactive Fiction Database. https://ifdb.org/

I think that our list of games ranked by review scores is certainly the finest repository of extraordinary text-based games in the world. https://ifdb.org/search?browse

Every game on that list is fantastic. For your reading convenience, the top ten are: Counterfeit Monkey, Anchorhead, Superluminal Vagrant Twin, 80 Days, Hadean Lands, Lost Pig, The Wizard Sniffer, Violet, and The Impossible Bottle.

You can click the "Play Online" button on almost any game in IFDB to play it right there in your browser, without downloading anything.

IFDB also includes all of the 20th century classics, including Infocom games, but IMO the modern games have long-since outclassed them.

If you're curious, here's our list of top-ranked Infocom games. https://ifdb.org/search?searchfor=tag:infocom The top-ranked Infocom games are science-fiction games, topped by Trinity, Infocom's surreal "Alice in Wonderland" time-travel game, followed by Planetfall and A Mind Forever Voyaging.

Ask HN: Selling My Soul as an NFT
So my friend and I had this fun idea that we could let people mint & sell their 'souls' as NFT's. We plan to use authillo to prevent people from creating multiple accounts so users can only mint a single 'soul'. Ideally users would upload a picture of their face, and we'd do some AI art transformation to make their face into some randomized soul-like image. We've never developed any web3 applications so we're looking for a place to start... any suggestions? Also, has anyone come across a project like this already?
No, it’s regularly used as shorthand for South Asians and/or Latinos. It certainly can have derogatory undertones though, just like “Mexican” isn’t inherently racist but often has negative connotations. This has been statistically investigated using word embeddings to claim that language models are racially biased, but in reality it just shows the way we use language—in a racially biased way.
I have always lived on the philosophy that "failing a lot always leads to a win," so it makes sense why Paul G might have been so fascinated with Sam Altman. That could be one thing we can all learn from Sam Altman. As a professional failure, I always try to consistently position myself in great places to get my lucky moment. This means building/joining startups every 6-12 months and finding cofounders.
I think you misinterpreted the post. I have made it more explicit.
He’s just 37 years old, I’d say his accomplishments are pretty impressive for 37!

He dropped out of Stanford in 2005, at 19, to co-found Loopt. Yeah, it ultimately failed, but over 7 years they got 5 million users, raised $30 mil in funding, and were acquihired for $43.4 mil.

He was a YC partner at ~25, YC’s president at ~28, and seemed to do a good job leading it for ~5 years. He’s also been pretty personally successful as an Angel investor.

He was an early investor in OpenAI, left YC a few years ago to become their CEO, and they’ve done extremely well under him.

No, he’s not Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Zuck, etc., but his accomplishments at 37 are pretty damn good. I’m not really seeing how this is failing upwards?
We clearly list our pricing on the app and our website and are the first to do that. On the website we display our pricing. When in the app you constantly see the pricing very clearly...if you desire a 5km2 area you'll see that price, 6km2 you'll see that price, etc etc. The fact that we've created an application that allows infinite variability on size of the image requested with multiple sensor types there is no way to list pricing for every scenario. I'd like to know more about what you'd like to see to make it simpler as we are always striving for perfection.
Improving diversity was an investment - a long-term bet. This is what most people who were criticizing it (including elsewhere in this thread) never seemed to understand. It was never just "Lower the bar to hire more black people").

In an economic slow-down, investment in big long term bets invariably gets decreased. This is one of them.
The discussion you are participating in does not make any philosophical claims, but just states how the law works. A libertarian disagreeing with this on a philosophical is not just obvious, it's also uninteresting.

Were you able to find a consumer motherboard that supports fault injection (or whatever it's called)? I was able to verify that the motherboard reported ECC was working and performed a 24/hour burn in, but I have been unable to perform a functional test showing that ECC had corrected an error.
Let's just keep it real... In a practical, engineering environment, the talk of race and status has no place. If you want to code for a living, write good code, and do your best to find somewhere that will pay you adequately for your skillset. Once you're there, improvise and collaborate with your coworkers and use the resources at your disposal to get tasks/tickets done to the best of your ability. Nobody on earth can rightfully ask for any more of you than that.

The more time you spend talking to your employer about your skin color, the less work is getting done, and in the long run that equates 1:1 to money. Do the work, take the money, and keep it simple.

I think people need better mentors. They don't need diversity pledges and social justice initiatives in the workplace, I think they just need people to guide them along their path to becoming the best X that they can be, without judgment. That way the relationship is collaborative and nurturing, rather than threatening and adversarial like with these diversity movements. Keeping it skill-based is better for everyone.
I’m sure I’ll be downvoted to oblivion but I enjoy working on diverse teams rather than a bunch of people exactly like me. The comments about DEI here are largely negative about the premise but there are legitimate benefits to having teams mirror the populations they write software for. It’s a shame people don’t do a little critical thinking about why it matters and instead spout right wing talking points.

In practice though it’s all theater. When I asked if we could at least interview some people from under-represented groups for a new position I got a “we’ll look into it.” And they didn’t.
> no, this is not acceptable. If you have an issue with someone online, ban their email, ban their IP and move on

Here's the thing: they did do that. But the banned person would not move on, and continued to evade the ban and be a pile of misery for everyone involved. "Ban them and move on" is the sort of advice that works great until it doesn't.
Please don't cross into personal attack, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.

I reloaded it and searched for the word "comply", which seems unlikely to have been a typo in your original quotation, and: no, that quotation is not present in the article.
Branding has never been the Free Software Foundation's strong suit.

(Even the FSF's name is unfortunate, IMHO. It's not an opportunity to tell the person you actually mean "free as in freedom", like some imagine. It's just starting people off with the wrong idea of what your mission is. And the result sure looks like most people went with the wrong idea, for whatever reason.)
Grapevine is awesome. Good call-out.
This article is so laughably transparent. None of those people care about diversity or inclusivity, they want more for themselves and found a trick to get it.

Surprisingly they don't seem to mind that in my UK team of 15 people we only have two British citizens (I am not one of them myself) and 11 people of color, while White British represent 75% of the population of the UK.

DEI is an absolute cancer for society.

There isn't any bodycam footage, but I find it extremely hard to believe that Teran managed to shoot a police officer after he had been shot several times.
For some people, emulating “normal” social behaviour can be taxing on many levels and perhaps “normal” seems extremely odd to them.

I’d sleep on the idea of ostracising people with social issues because it can hasten a downward spiral.

In a lot of cases, people who don’t fit in are looking for love they don’t receive. Speaking from experience, if you can offer them that love in spite of challenging behaviour, you could be the key to them developing positive relationships that serve as models of how they can effectively fit in.

If you can muster the energy, instead of pushing these people away, as hard as it may seem, try drawing them closer - it’s not an exaggeration to say that you might be saving someone’s life.

The miserable industry response to Row Hammer makes ECC RAM a necessity for anyone doing dangerous human rights work.
Do you honestly put any stock in that stuff? We have had decades of research into child rearing and education in the west. If it was actually reliable, it should have produced better behaved kids that do better in school and have better outcomes. The absence of any evidence of that is glaring.

The greatest generation that built this country into what it is were subject to corporal punishment. Today, Asian immigrants use corporal punishment and their kids vastly outperform the children of native born Americans. Maybe there is no correlation between those things, but that is much more concrete evidence than some papers in a psychology journal.

That’s insane! I’ve generally been of the opinion that one can escape the negative effects of social media by simply walking away, so I’m awed to hear that it’s had such a physical, real-world effect on your town.

Can I ask if you have any theories as to why it’s spiraled so far out of control? What are the particularly divisive issues? Does your town have an interesting demographic makeup that would exacerbate flamewars? This is really intriguing.
Despite the "World's Dumbest Idea[1]," the legal construction of corporations exist to provide net positive social benefit. This is a collective and subjective judgement, but when, in aggregate, the public's perception is that corporations aren't living up to their end of the bargain, the social contract is broken and a raging public is the last thing anyone needs. It typically ends very poorly for the targets of said outrage.
