This is a fall from a peak where it tripled in about a year.

The last article I read on this suggested it was due to new mines coming online.

FT seems to be consistently bearish on EVs for reasons I don't fully understand.
396k is the average number of players during. The peak is seemingly 680k in last 30 days. Peak is the least number of players(accounts) there was during last month.

Million to two million would be my estimate of players. Still leading to 2-5% of player base. Which itself isn't small either.

> That is very obviously not the case, seeing how they literally followed the rules.

They followed the spirit of the rules rather than the letter, because Github was explicitly mentioned as one of the banned templating engines. Had they used an unlisted templating engine, they might have gotten away with it.

Github obviously does not belong in that list, but to the busibodies at the contest, that's irrelevant.

In my opinion, the simplest way is to start with Common Lisp, with SBCL and the Practical Common Lisp book by Peter Seibel.

Make sure you are comfortable with Emacs. It is possible to write Common Lisp without it, but Emacs and SLIME are so much better than anything else it feels like cheating.
I mean it's literally right in standard macro-history; religious cults, clubs, closed societies in all forms through literally all ages.

I find it weird that - especially americans - still don't think in terms of groups, but see the individual as the driver of history - a historiographical school that has been outdated for 70 years now.

Perhaps you should bone up on your Latin.

GitHub qua "template engine website" is "NOT permitted". That's certain.

GitHub qua code host? Not only is that, in fact, not stated "in no uncertain terms", but insisting that it's both forbidden and that it's clear that it's forbidden comes across as trying to will your way to truth.
Cloud networking is basically Magic(tm). The packet headers are a mere formality to keep legacy operating systems happy.

In typical data centres the "network" is really just a handful of Cisco boxes. In the cloud, the network extends to the FPGAs or ASICs in the servers themselves, including the hypervisors.

When a packet leaves a VM, the hypervisor host rewrites it, typically in hardware, and then when the remote hypervisor receives it, the packet is rewritten back to what the destination VM accepts.

This allows thousands of overlapping 10.0.0.0/24 subnets, and "tricks" like direct VM-to-VM traffic that appears to go via a load balancer.

The actual load balancer VMs just "set up" the flow, while instructing the hosts to take over the direct traffic in their stead.

This comes pretty close: making fun of the person who enforced the rule that GitHub is not allowed:

> You heard it here first folks, GitHub IS NOT the industry standard for hosting code collaboration and version control through Git, an expected tool for anyone entering the industry and a priceless skill for any aspiring developer.
Perhaps this is adequate encouragement for them NOT to join the work force? Why is being an employee and following arbitrary rules set by less intelligent people than oneself the default way to be a productive citizen?

Smart kids should start a business, and when this inevitably fails, try again. We no longer need an army of rule-worshippers like during the industrial revolution. Learning to reconcile oneself to repeated business failure is psychologically easier and much more valuable to society than becoming a cubicle dweller.
It's federated real time chat, similar to IRC, with a lot of additional embedded functionality, akin to slack/teams/discord. You can either go to the largest matrix host, matrix.org, or any other website with open registration and make an account and you should have access to join any open channel.

That said, in my experience, most of these communities are closed, but generally happy to invite people from one closed community to another.
Interesting comment. I have a number of MR16 bulbs in my house that were previously halogen and are now mostly LED. They are a near constant source of frustration with bulbs burning out way too soon, some with what seems like wiring issues, a mix of incompatible switches, etc.

I think that’s the surface purpose, but in practice it’s not a good place for discussion because of the heavy moderation.

I spend less time on Reddit and less time discussing because some subs ban or restrict based on seemingly arbitrary rules and they vary from sub to sub so unless you really dig into a sub’s rules you won’t know that you’re not allowed to “have your words cause harm” by criticizing an idea because that sub has a rule and bans.

I don’t think this is conducive to good discussion because it directly removes people with good intentions from the discussion and discourages speech that may trigger a mod to make an arbitrary ban.

It's kind of amazing to me that we can build 3nm chips but we still haven't figured out how to build a uF-range cap that has long MTBF, good overvoltage tolerance, low series resistance, and doesn't blow up.
I’m increasingly convinced that so much of the trend following we’re seeing in the front end development world today is a result of the fact that ReactJS absolutely burst through the scene when it realized because it had some game changing ideas, but never had the courage to become a framework.

Instead, it insisted on being a thin UI layer forcing others to fill the gaps, which have led to all sorts of startups/open source projects popping up trying to convince others that theirs is the one true way.

So instead of being a sober discussion around the pros and cons of using certain technologies in certain scenarios, it’s being recast to resemble the fashion industry where everyone is insisting that their trend is the next big thing.
The letter isn't coherent, and I think people are reacting to that. The thesis of the letter is that "POSIX is the reason your code has annoying low-level plumbing and knobs needing attention," but doesn't explain how removing POSIX will help with that stuff. E.g. "new schedulers have to be built to handle the fact that memory is not all one thing." What does that even mean? Maybe he has a vision in his head, but it's not well articulated.

Also, the letter ends with this:

> If we are to write programs for such machines, it is imperative to get the Posix elephant off our necks and create systems that express in software the richness of modern hardware.

But such a system could still have annoying low-level knobs that need turning.
When I see this kind of attitude I know that this person is burned out and needs to find something new to do.

The reality is that software is complex and maintaining and running it is also complex. Making sure it continues to work 24/7 is not trivial. And the beeper that goes off when it stops working most likely belongs to a different person than wrote the code.

So, no offense, but get the fuck over yourself or find a new job.

Yes, the study [0] used iPads (on maximum brightness).

Some releveant quotes:

"The randomized, crossover protocol design consisted of two conditions: (i) reading an LE-eBook (iPad; Apple Inc., Cupertino, CA) in otherwise very dim room light for ∼4 h before bedtime for five consecutive evenings, and (ii) reading printed books in the same very dim room light for ∼4 h before bedtime for five consecutive evenings."

"Third, in the present study, the LE-eBook was set to maximum brightness throughout the 4-h reading session, whereas, by comparison, the print-book condition consisted of reflected exposure to very dim light."

"Lastly, although the short-wavelength light from the LEeBook may have been responsible for the effects reported here, this study did not include a light-emitting device with longer wavelength for comparison, so our findings may be due to the difference in irradiance level rather than spectral composition."

Common Lisp, specifically SBCL. Most popular choice (outside of Clojure and Emacs Lisp?). That's the easy answer. You'll encounter more libraries and online answers/resources which will help any growing pains.

Quicklisp is used for package management and quickproject is a great starting point to get you writing lisp asap.

Practical Common Lisp is a great introduction to the language.

True but I think the difference is smaller than one might expect from pure element size.

IIRC one reason we don't already have fully 3D chips is because of the heat dissipation. Reducing 2400 W to 24 W means the heat is much more tractable, which means it can be closer to volumetric than planar.

Consider a 1cm*1cm*1mm chip; with 1μ^3 elements, 1e11 per chip; with (10nm)^3 elements limited to one layer because of heat, 1e12.

Yes this is still a factor of x10, and chips are a few layers because while heat is a problem it's not a total blocker, but it's still much less than the 100^3 ratio a simple scale-up would result in.

What I want to know, is why.

> The “PHP Hack” exists since the very first version of PHP’s own crypt_blowfish implementation and no clear reasoning is given for its existence in the commentary or commit history.
I'm actually quite surprised at the initial response by the PHP Core to this vulnerability. At very least I would have thought a sensible approach would be to fail securely - so if supplied with a bad hash you return false, not true!

See? That's how quotes work. Someone actually said those things.
As far as I understand, "government" in (American) English refers to the set of institutions, not the people currently holding office.
That leads to a much bigger question. Can human society only be civilized if there's a government drawing boundaries and enforcing laws?

I've never liked the idea that we would devolve into chaos if our government wasn't there keeping us all in line. It assumes that a) there are some people who know what is best for all of us and b) that we're effectively signing up to live as animals in a zoo.

Don't get me wrong this isn't some anarchist dream, I don't want to find out what happens without a government. But I can't sign up for the idea that a government and its taxes are a fundamental requirement for any form of civilized society.

password_verify was erroneously returning true for include hashes. In the most common case where the user gives you a password and you immediately hash it and call password_verify this doesn't come up, but any case where an attacker can influence the hash is at risk (ex: hashing on the client).

The first comment on the bug report is pretty depressing.
1) corporations consist of people who use services provided by government

2) on top of taxes paid by people who are part of a corporation, corporations pay a lot of other taxes. E.g. taxes on commercial vehicles, commercial real estate and lots of other special taxes depending on jurisdiction.
For me it's the exact opposite:

Text - Detailed, well thought out diagrams.

Visual - Simple, Quick & Dirty diagrams.

The reason is mostly that diagrams from visual editors are basically unmaintainable and therefore are only good for throw-away stuff. Also simple diagrams, especially when you are not entirely sure what you want, are quicker done in a visual editor.

If I need to document a complex system and especially when the documentation has to evolve with the system it is generated diagrams from version controlled text files for me hands down.

I really love the people at my job they never write any code anymore, except for the quick POC's to test out every new shiny thing that comes along, and then unilaterally decree that from now on everything must be written that way, or with that new tool or on that new platform.
Not much, but it would allow you to change a hash via sql injection while still allowing the regular user to login. So perhaps stealthier than using a real pre generated hash.
That would demand maintaining an address book. Most mails I receive are from services which I have never written to, and I don't see a reason to extra maintain their data when I already have their mails.
Since this topic is related to the circadian rhythm, here’s my understanding of optimizing that (aside from lighting):

- No coffee 6-8h before sleeping. I try to keep it to before noon. Having a strong coffee at 3PM often means I stay up til 2AM.

- Digestion should be done-ish before sleeping. A rule of thumb seems to be not eating no heavy meals past 3PM. Or at least 6PM. For me, a big amount of protein for breakfast helps keeping hunger in the evening down. (You can find great discussions and small studies if you search for „eTRF“ on Reddit)

- Breakfast resets the circadian clock. Some people can’t eat before 10AM which is probably ok. I‘ve found that I can train myself to eat earlier, it’s a process.

- A bit out there - Creatine has been found to help sleep deprived people - not sure why that is, but I‘ve been testing this lately. Maybe it helps with circadian rhythm, maybe not.

- More about sleep than CR: An air filter near the bed improved my sleep quality by so much. I got a big one from Coway but it probably doesn’t matter much which one.
New Relic stops you from rotating API keys
This reminds me of https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kpPnReyBC54KESiSn/optimality...

One point the article makes is that getting from a "prediction engine" type of AI to an "agent" type of AI is probably just a matter of sticking the prediction engine in the python loop that goes

while true:
next_actions = engine.complete("What are the best actions to take to achieve %s" % objective);
requests = engine.complete("Write a list of HTTP requests that perform the following actions: %s" % next_actions)
http.execute_requests(requests)

It wouldn't be literally that easy, and the engine would require a lot of ChatGPT-style fine-tuning first, but it wouldn't require a completely novel breakthrough in machine learning.

On Section 230 and the Dream of a More Human Internet
I think you are absolutely right, but those sames problems apply when the paper claim that the average of two models gives a good model. So in that case the weight space could have additional properties that could make the proposed approach a little more plausible with some modifications. As you suggest, features are encoded in many different ways and in many neurons, so the suggested approach could only be applied for features that are encoded using only one neuron. To reduce a little the ways the features can be encoded, the proposal could be applied to an encoding of both models. Looking for matching neurons using as distance the L1-norm of the difference of outputs.
