Unless you're Kernighan and Ritchie, who semi-famously wrote a buggy hello world program and used it to educate a generation of C programmers: https://blog.sunfishcode.online/bugs-in-hello-world/

Obviously an exaggeration, but when's the last time you checked the return value of printf? I know I don't. And that's not even a memory safety bug, just basic logic. I hope nobody trusts those guys around malloc and free :)
I just re-read the thread and I realize that I took your comment "seemed pretty severe to me" incorrectly. I thought you were saying that it was an overreaction, but rather you were saying that it was a strong enough reaction and that my assessment of them not taking the tail strikes seriously was incorrect.

In that case, we're both right about different things. I was referring to the article, and you were referring to the airline.

The airline absolutely did the right thing and took the tail strikes seriously. As for the article, it focused on the strong reaction to the error in the software. The article did not discuss the serious consequences of a tail strike. Considering that multiple aircraft (and many lives) have been lost due to tail strikes, I was surprised that it was not mentioned.
>I'd guess that video games are a more positive way to socialize, because teenagers are cooperating and competing rather than comparing themselves to others on social media.

And even if they were comparing themselves to others, the context of it would be in the video game, rather than what their real world circumstances are.
Ask HN: How much traffic does HN get?
General question around how many unique visitors HN gets on average per day?

Or if others have examples of their articles being on the front page and how many hits they received.
And there’s research coming out that suggests that forward propagation can implement the same thing but comparatively cheaper without much loss in accuracy and is likely the next step. I don’t think we really know enough to conclude things either way and we don’t know if brains never did back propagation or evolved it away.

> it's not every day that we extend models into a domain (near the singularity) where we know our model must eventually break down somehow

Yes, but that doesn't change what the model says. It just affects how likely we think it is that the model is actually realized in our universe. I agree that it's quite likely that the standard black hole model I described isn't realized in our actual universe. But we can still use it if we don't have any better model to replace it with, since even if it breaks down near the singularity, that still leaves the whole rest of the model with plenty of usefulness.

What's of great interest about alternate models for collapsed objects that have dark energy inside, like the Bardeen "black hole", is that they do hold out the promise of being a better model to replace the standard black hole model, that doesn't have a singularity anywhere and so would not be expected to break down the way we think the standard black hole model breaks down near the singularity.

> Is the claim that the matter simply disappears from the spacetime, with all its conserved quantum numbers and other conserved quantities?

The matter disappears, but conserved quantities do not. They remain embedded in the spacetime geometry that is left behind.

> The Singularity Theorems assume the existence of a trapped surface.

Yes, but the alternate "black hole" models with dark energy inside, such as the Bardeen "black hole", also have trapped surfaces, so this doesn't help to distinguish the models.

The singularity theorems also assume energy conditions. Those are the conditions that the models with dark energy inside violate, and which allow those models to not have singularities even though they do have trapped surfaces.

> Is there a clear proof that in realistic models of black hole formation we must have a trapped surface eventually?

I don't know about "proof", but there are plenty of numerical simulations of realistic collapses of massive objects like stars that show trapped surfaces forming. So I would say it's a robust expectation of any such collapse process, even if we don't have an ironclad proof that it must occur in every single case.

> the Nobel committee dubiously claimed that Penrose's Singularity Theorems prove that black hole formation and singularities "are a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity".

That statement was justified. But saying that it's a robust prediction if particular conditions are satisfied is not the same as saying that all of those conditions must be satisfied in our actual universe.
Have you online-visited the museum dedicated to him? Google maps has an amazing recorded visit.
Unless you have rockstar charisma, genius talent, or essential connections, it takes a long time to climb your way out of the hamster cage at any big company. There's a lot of boring work to do at big companies and they're designed around giving it to smart, high-achieving people because those are the people they fill their ranks with.

And if you had one of those assets that let you break through more quickly, you probably wouldn't be asking this question on Hacker News.

So you can either grind away for another decade or two, expecting that you'll eventually find yourself positioned with agency over something you find meaningful, which will probably happen eventually, or you can choose a path through (or independently with) smaller organizations that probably pay less but are more fulfilling and interesting in the near term.
Being that an absolute crapload of violence for very small amounts of money happens every single day I'd really like to know what planet you've been on. When someone walks up and points a glock in your face and asks for the pin of your debit card people tend to give it up rather than risk an extra hole in their face.

Tomorrow’s forecast for Northern Virginia: High of 80°F/27°C

Unusual for late February, based on my 22 years living in the Mid-Atlantic.
I think the expectation is that living in a mid sized towns, you'll probably get 1 candidate per month if that. I am thinking of a shop that is 30 devs or less. You don't always hire and we would put everything aside if someone shows up at the door.

I think the risk would be that no one ever shows up. :-(

I don’t think that. I’m trying to understand why the parent comment thinks high priced eggs meant no collusion in the past, but means collusion now.

Look at the diagram. Do you see the path going through the middle? And the paths at the top and bottom (they are generalized convolutions)? Well a Hopf algebra "learns" by updating it's internal state in order to enforce an invariance between the middle path and the top and bottom paths.

Allow me to restate it, it's an algebra that "learns". Reading about Hopf algebras is tripper than dropping acid.

I used Math Academy to relearn some math I’d forgotten since initially studying it decades ago. It covers pretty much an entire undergraduate curriculum.

I was impressed with both the breadth of the courses and the efficiency gains from letting it do the scheduling and making sure I review topics just often enough to hold onto the skills.

Actually, there is at least one case showing you can't sue a government employee of any kind for anything that can even be vaguely understood as police work, no matter how terrible an abuse it is. The case was about a government engineer who legally acted as a police officer, but still got QI in his capacity as a government engineer for it, and it is settled (SCOTUS declined to hear it).
It's actually quite the opposite, the stronger underlying bonds, the more space for arguments. The less you know someone, the nicer you are to them.

I'm not sure. Why?
1) our profession is not respected and has no social status
2) pay is generally not that great compared to other professions (e.g. law)
3) you work for managers or clients who have no clue of how hard this job is and how long everything takes / how complex it is
4) your peers do not know how to negotiate and undercut themselves which results in a losing race to the bottom for everyone
5) young profession without unions

Some variation on this has been consistently brought up for going on a decade now. At this point it's a HN meme.

Its opposite is "cargo culting".
I haven't watched the show yet, but I've read about the general premise of this show (and the book it was based on). It really makes no sense to me; am I missing something?

If the world turns into "snowball Earth", it seems like the last place you want to be is in a moving vehicle. I guess an airplane would be even worse, but I don't see why you'd want people in a never-stopping train. It feels like this whole story was just contrived.

In reality, in such a situation if you're some super-rich person, you'd want to set up some kind of underground city. Being underground, it'd be protected from the frigid weather outside, it'd be somewhat warm (caves stay at a constant temperature year-round), and you'd have space to do things like grow food using artificial lighting, and you wouldn't have to worry about mechanical breakdown suddenly exposing everyone to the weather and killing them.

I've been a terrible sleeper for about a decade. Weeks on end where I am only sleeping a few hours a night. Can't fall asleep, can't stay asleep, just tired all the time. Tried all the sleep hygiene recommendations but made no difference.

Started supplementing with creatine and about a month later had the best sleep of my adult life.

Shortly after switching creatine brands, I noticed my restless legs were back and I couldn't get to sleep. Switched back to the first creatine brand and a couple weeks later and I am sleeping again.

I don't know if the creatine helps me sleep. I started taking it because I heard on a podcast that it can help prevent cognitive decline as I age. I also started breathing through my nose when I try to sleep so maybe that was what made the difference.
I work in biology and plopping DNA into GPT-style models kind of works, but there are many long-distance interactions within genomes that are more distant than current GPTs can encode. In some plants there's linkage (~gets inherited together more often than expected) across tens of thousands of base-pairs (~letters), so having these long-distance models will be very useful!
Mostly a luxurious one today. I test drove a 2012 Range Rover in 2020 and all the rubber on the controls had melted. Would Not Recommend, but they are popular certainly.
I bought Plus because ChatGPT is obviously overloaded and often doesn't work. So clearly they need people to start paying otherwise they won't be able to continue offering it as a business. And also it works.

I would use Ask HN but so far almost all of my submissions are nearly completely ignored so here is a somewhat related question. Has anyone heard anything about the OpenAI Foundry thing that will supposedly cost $78000 and have a 32000 token length?

One thing to note is that rates of depression/suicide were much higher in the 1980s. If you look at the data over a longer time period, the 1990-2010 period stands out as being unusually low, and more recently we see an increase back to the 1970-1990 levels. Now I'm not saying that social media isn't a cause of this, but any theory should have some reasonable explanation for why rates were just as high in the 1980s as today.
Part of the reason the governance is failing is due to NRS [1]. The NRS is running a concerted disinformation campaign [2] and a sue everyone and everything campaign to cripple AfriNIC [3]. The root cause is someone got some up blocks from out of the AfriNic region awhile back and started using for nefarious internet activities. They got discovered and the ip blocks reclaimed[4]. A change of the bylaws was instigated to create a new rule to allow the export of ip blocks from the region, that failed. Finally the court cases started rolling in to try and use the courts to allow the export of the ip blocks and or cripple and scare employees of AfriNic. So far, the offense team is winning, no ceo has been selected due to the chaos, the board is no longer there and some elements of the community have been paid off to ensure no consensus inthe annual meetings. Also, there’s the natural split of the Africa community along francophone and anglophone lines which is making things difficult. It’s a terrible time for AfriNic….

> you're raised speaking German first, so that you can "learn your heritage" (read: always feel the divide between yourself and the rest of the country).

This isn't a fair take IMO. The Amish are not the only groups of Pennsylvania Dutch that are native German speakers, and many of these groups are not counter culture isolationists like the Amish are. The Moravians for example were banned from the colony of New York because they went there to represent the Mohicans when the New York colony tried to illegally rob them of the lands they'd been promised in treaties. Like many of the non-anabaptist (that's Amish & Mennonite sects) groups of Pennsylvania Dutch they were fully on board with participating in broader US culture as long as they could do so while speaking German and engaged in all the same businesses, government/legal/military roles that the rest of society did.

People just think of the Amish by default in these conversations because in part they're more visible, and in part because the non-isolationist groups scaled back the German speaking in the wake of the two world wars.

> Patriarchy in all decisions

In the non-anabaptist communities this is not like that anymore than it is for broader culture. Traditional medicine practitioners in the Pennsylvania Dutch- for example the pow-wowers, were socially expected to only train an apprentice/protégé who is of the opposite sex, and further socially expected to provide their services for free. To stray from either of those was (and still is) a major taboo.
None of these allow prosecution of hurt feelings, how the target of the hate speech feels or reacts to it doesn't matter at all. In fact in all these cases there doesn't have to be a victim present. The word incitement in the Canadian definition is inciting the aggressors to violence, not the targets. It's not like how it's used in "fighting words" laws.

When dealing with private equity, there is always the risk that your options expire worthless, or your shares are illiquid and it’s challenging or impossible to realize a transaction. That’s the bargain for exposure to an asset class that (possibly) grows faster than more accessible asset classes like public securities.

My personal opinion is that you should not join a startup, as there is quite a bit of risk and very little chance of reward (“lottery ticket”). Find a different role and buy a few lottery tickets instead.
> reading from stdin isn’t challenging, nor writing to stdout

Every time I dabble in C, I need to look up what method I need to use these days. getline? scanf? Do I need to allocate a buffer? What about freeing it, is it safe to do so from another thread? What about Unicode support, can I just use a char array or do I need a string library for proper support? What's a wchar_t again and why is it listed in this example I found online? How do I use strtok to parse a string again?

Sure, these things become trivial with experience, but they're not easy. Other languages make them easier so we know it can be done, yet the POSIX APIs insist on using the more difficult version of everything for the sake of compatibility and programmer choice.

(Modern) C++ makes the entire process easier but there are still archaic leftovers you need to deal with on nix if you want to interact with APIs outside what the C++ standard provides. At that point, you're back to POSIX APIs and nix magic file paths with *nix IOCTLs. Gone are your exceptions, your unique_ptrs, and your std::string, back are errno and pointers.

I cycle close to 100 miles per week and a having a good Weather app makes a huge difference for planning my rides. I developed https://apolloweather.com/ after Apple announced it was shutting down Dark Sky.

For me the most important thing is not the accuracy but having easier access to certain metrics to make better decisions. Feels Like and wind are a priority for me. Also UV Index during summer (I live in Florida). I want to know the best days to ride. I also want to know if I should use a thermal base layer or leg warmers. I’m willing to accept some discomfort during the first hour if it will get warmer later. Some rain is acceptable when is warmer. No rain is acceptable when its cold.

Will I have a headwind on the way back? Then I should manage my energy better during the first half.

As long as I see the big picture quickly for the whole week, I’m Ok with accuracy being less than perfect.
I have a Terminator 2 - a lot of similarities to High Speed because both were designed by Steve Richie and i think T2 came right after High Speed for him (could be wrong about that last bit). Also have a Cyclone. Both have lots of mods and addons. I used to be really into the hobby but not so much anymore.

The t2 back glass is signed by Steve Richie when I met him at Texas Pinball Fest in 2019.

There’s a podcast interview with Richie somewhere that he talks about designing HighSpeed. As I recall, he had a Porsche in the 80s. He was speeding home one night - very fast like 120 mph or something crazy. He was pulled over by a cop. Or maybe he dodged the cop. I don’t remember the rest of the story but it was interesting, and it became the inspiration for your pin.
