Why do you think it's the "Cult of the MBA" (aggressive business leaders have always existed) and not the fact that there will be no meaningful pushback from the US Government, regardless of which political party is in power.

It's nice to think that business leaders had a civic duty in the past and that "they changed" but to be frank, I think you can blame a shift towards "neoliberalism" by both parties and the lack of regulation and "teeth" that came from it.

I don't find it surprising that it was dropped. I was taught cursive in elementary. Then no teacher or professor from high school on ever accepted cursive assignments. So, what is the point of practicing it?

That's not even getting into how terrible cursive is the write with ball-point pens.
The one that stands out to me is disabling the AC. Hope there's no kid or dog in there when they do it while the parent is in the store or whatever. I don't like any kind of built-in backdoor in any product, but apparently we don't get a say in that anymore.
> I have this theory that the various new AI "Chat" services will bring new life for old machines, since their interface is mostly just plain text, they should work just fine even on the dumbest of terminals.

Except old machines tend to generate a lot of waste heat. Even if all you need is a text interface, you'll be better served by something modern sipping the milliwatts.

> What Dan is saying is that the Chinese state has a track record of adopting policies and sticking to them for lengthy periods despite mountains of evidence that they're harmful, and their COVID response is only the latest example.

I know. But that's separate from my point. Dan is not wrong about China.

Additionally I would argue every government acts this way. It's human nature. When someone fucks up big time it takes them awhile to voluntary face that fuck up. Governments are no different.

I mentioned this somewhere else but the US one time threw the entire japanese population in the states into internment camps. It took them 10 years to apologize. The internment camp thing is an epic fuck up. Epic. And it took 10 years the government to admit they were wrong.

>Democracies generally have a harder time doing this, because they have checks and balances that prevent going to extremes (welding people into their homes etc) and the governments responsible will eventually get voted out if public opinion turns against them.

This is garbage. Democracies are no strangers to dark dark shit. Again as I mentioned in a sibling comment on this thread, the US recently blew up the nordstream oil pipelines. Literal act of terrorism against an allied country. Germany is clamming up because they don't want to start WW3.

Not to mention the CIA torture program or the CIA program of SELLING crack cocaine to americans to finance their foreign operations.

Literally throw a dart and it will land on some atrocity conducted by the US, there are tons and tons of shit you can dig up. It's no different for China. Just apples and oranges.

Humans aren't white knights, and operate in areas that are morally grey. This aspect of humanity is reflected in governments, independent of centralized or democratic organization.

The further we get away from the pandemic, the less anyone will remember that it suddenly became the leading cause of death, or one of the leading causes of death, in many countries. “Scandals” like this one will seem more significant than the fact that policymakers were acting on the imperative to keep even more people from dying.

Confronted with the same circumstances and choices, I don’t think any armchair critic would have done any better. The per capita rate of sickness and death in U.S. states whose leaders boasted the loudest about having few or no restrictions whatsoever suggests that many, many more people would be dead if we had taken their advice.

But the further we get away from the emergency period, the less any of this will matter. We won’t learn anything.
There are many genuinely insane conspiracy theories, but there are many that start as a seed then are investigated and found to be true.

NSA's prism project was regarded as complete bullshit until it wasn't. US Gov adding poison to alcohol not meant for drinking. MKUltra was confirmed. Epstein's island. Surveillance of John Lennon and Hemmingway. Climate change. Tobacco causes cancer. Vietnam war was started by a false flag.

To completely disregard that powerful people conspire to hide the truth is also disregarding meaningful opportunities to make the world a better place. Looking further back in history, it is easy to find many examples of people doing horrible things for money and power.
I ran a cluster of ~30k blade based computers booting entirely off iPXE. They didn't have any onboard ssd/disk storage or ECC memory. Every day, a few of them would randomly lock up, they'd reboot with a fresh network image and keep on humming.
Survivorship bias is taking positive outcomes from existing sources without considering all the failures that went through similar processes but have nothing to show for it. Survivorship bias underscores exactly why imitating successful people/companies may not be in the best interest of the imitator.

Many startups likely downplay financials and instead focus on future innovation in their statements...that makes sense...but from an investor perspective if you are years into development and still not seeing financials that are consistent, that is a huge red flag.

Manufacturers (rightly or wrongly) believe users want machines that are as thin and light as possible. This makes a bunch of things more complicated, including managing system thermals. Heat generated from the CPU has to go somewhere. As you get thinner, it's hard to get as much airflow and so fans are less effective. As you reduce the amount of material in the chassis, the less heat can be dumped in there without it heating up enough to potentially be uncomfortable for the user. Larger internal batteries become another source of heat while charging. Handling all of this safely becomes difficult, especially because there isn't necessarily a policy that satisfies all your users. But you can't leave it purely up to the OS either, because the OS has no idea of what the thermal characteristics of the platform are. So rather than attempting to encode all of this policy directly into firmware, Intel wrote the Dynamic Power and Thermal Framework (DPTF) spec, providing a mechanism for the firmware to share information about thermal control interfaces, interactions, and desired temperature bounds, and then let the OS make policy control decisions around that. Until the OS indicates it's ready to take over, the firmware imposes a default safe policy that's guaranteed to avoid any thermal issues, albeit at the cost of performance.

Of course, this only works if the OS knows how to do this, and Intel never publicly documented it so I had to reverse engineer it instead.
Ask HN: How to find projects for my team?
My team just finished a two year project. And now we are without a project on hand. We are doing a few small ones to keep busy but without a medium or big one on hand, I don’t think the team will be sustainable. This tech recession is not ideal to lose a job. I have been reaching out to other offices in other countries to see if we can help out. What other advice would you give to find projects?
Could you add elixir to the language list?
I’m not trying to claim it is immune to science. I argued it is “luck, not science” in service of the point that it isn’t as easy as “just install some filters”, that carries a bigger risk than commenters might think. Jack Daniels should absolutely do some science to see if installing filters does affect their product. Unfortunately that experiment takes about four years to run, which means four more years of whiskey fungus for the residents.
There are 1000x gains on the table! Almost all software is so far from pareto-optimal it's comical! It isn't a tradeoff between readability and efficiency, most software is unreadable and inefficient!

When every function in your program is virtual, fixing bottlenecks won't give you a significant speedup. You don't need to optimize programs to make them 1000x faster, we just need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.

> For this reason I think that people who are offended by being referred to by 'they' are wrong to be offended

My understanding is that these days, we are not allowed to opine on whether others are wrong to feel offended. In modern parlance, I'd say that you don't understand why they're offended. It seems you're trying very hard not to, considering that this term is not the preferred term of reference for practically anyone who is cisgender.
What is your team good at? That is, what kind of needs can it serve if it stays together as opposed to dispersing?

Where are you based geographically? How did you get your last project?
That's just a function of expectations.

Expectations are set, not interrogated. Let me give you an example

Companies and organizations with domains are expected to also be running mail on that domain.

Why? I can sit around and make up a bunch of reasons but none of them are given when that mail service is being set up, it's done out of expectation, just like how someone might pay $295,000.00 for the .com they want and wouldn't even pay $2.95 for the .me or .us

Are the .com keys closer together? Easier to type? Supported by more browsers? No.

There's mostly arbitrary social norms that get institutionalized.

They can go away. Having ftp service or a fax line, for instance, used to be one of them. Those weren't thrown into the trash for cost cutting reasons, the norms changed.

The question is where do we want these norms to go and what are we doing to encourage it?

This is how this could materialize - say there's an optional archival fee when registering a domain. Next search engines could prioritize domains that pay this fee under the logic that by doing it, the website owners are standing behind what they publish.

These types of schemes are pretty easy to fabricate - the point is the solutions are plentiful, it's all a matter of focus, effort and intentions.
While it’s counterintuitive given how modern food and beverage manufacturing is heavily industrialised and distilled spirits being a pretty technical sub-specialty… the older more traditional distilling industry companies are full of odd little traditions. Not sure if this article mentions it, but there was other reporting that mentioned Jack Daniel’s objection to installing alcohol vapour filters rather was that not having free airflow might affect their traditional flavour.

The traditional notion of the angels share and the devils cut are basically irrelevant in large scale industrial distilled beverages where they are filtered at many stages and frequently shipped at higher concentrations of alcohol than the consumer will experience and then watered down with distilled/pure water by regional bottlers for tax related reasons. For reference the phrase on the nearest bottle I could grab (a bottle of Captain Morgan Rum) is “Bottled in Australia for Captain Morgan Rum Co by Diego Australia 4 Distillers Place Huntington NSW 2148 From local and imported ingredients”. The key words there being “bottled” not made, and “local and imported” which is basically how they’re describing the combination of imported higher strength original spirits and added local water to get the 37.5% alcohol by volume product that they then know how much money to give the Australian government for when they sell to their distributors. It’s not all done this way of course, you find plenty of more expensive spirits that aren’t watered down, are bottled where they are made and all of that’s very normal. But when Jack Daniel’s talks about their concerns about the flavour being affected by having filters in the airflow of their dry cask storage warehouses, it’s more than a little bit driven by the remaining traditionalism left in their craft… since the eventual watering down of their products by regional bottling plants represents a pretty significant variable in their flavour that they are ok with.

Yes! I’ve had to do this at a previous company, while leadership was demoing at a conference, there was a bug that would crash the system. Connected remotely through a debugger and listened for the condition, modifying state to keep the crash from happening. Can’t remember the details, but it was exciting.
I too experienced the sensation that stopping alcohol makes the evenings drab. That sensation fades in time. It wasn’t that your evenings were colorful it was that alcohol blinded you to the fact that they weren’t.

The color comes back when you surround yourself with thoughtful, interesting people who you like. Alcohol was just numbing you to the banality of everyday life. The way through is to overcome it not to ignore it.
Author here. Would love to hear what solutions you would suggest! I only mentioned those I'm aware of that I find admirable (which is not the same thing as them actually working).
Moral of the story?

Upgrade to DDR5 ram the latest standard which has on-die ECC memory but is not as good at spotting bit flips unlike proper ECC memory with a separate extra data correction chip.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR5_SDRAM#:~:text=Unlike%20DD....

Whilst Proper ECC ram chips and motherboards exist, I'm surprised that a cheaper but equally as good as Proper ECC solution doesn't exist although I know some would argue that DDR5 is a step in the right direction of a marathon.

I guess the markets know best and chase the numbers, assuming they are also using Proper ECC memory, binary coded decimal and not floating point arithmetic which introduces errors, something central banks have been using for decades?

>An owner’s rights in this situation depend on what state they live in and what’s in their loan agreement.

A good starting point would be to define ownership. Do you still own your car? Yes, you pay for it. Like in the case of a popular car manufacturer offering ventilated seats only if you pay them ARR, or another one offering a better turning radius if you are on an annual contract. What it always comes down to is ownership.
There’s a stroke order but the rules are pretty easy to learn. Outside of calligraphy, nobody will likely care if you get the order wrong. There’s also shorthand ways to write kanji called ryakuji.

Yeah, kanji can have lots of readings. There are some rules around when you use an on’yumi vs kun’yomi. A kanji paired with a hiragana is always a kun’yomi reading, but if there’s no kana you just have to know which reading to use. You can only pick that up through context and exposure. Of course any one kanji can have multiple on’yomi and kun’yomi readings. (And then there’s the concept of rendaku which can modify pronunciation based on neighboring syllables.) There’s nothing easy about it, but it is what it is. The you’re serious about learning Japanese it’s something you just have to get used to.

But nevertheless, kanji has many positives. It can make it much faster to read things because they can wrap complex things into a single character. If you have an unfamiliar character, understanding its components can often times provide a hint as to its meaning.

Think of it kind of like reading a conversation entirely in emoji. You may not get the whole meaning, but you can generally pick up the gist. And with far fewer words than it would take to write it out in full.

That example makes a lot of sense once you realize how JSX works in SolidJS (and its very different from React):

1. The function is called only once at component construction, and never again. Unlike React, it is _not_ called for every render.

2. Every expression in `{}` is compiled to a thunk function - not to a direct JS expression.

For example, the expression

<>{props.count * 2}</>

compiles to

memo(() => props.count * 2)

Another interesting bit - as the article above rightfully points out, `useState` and `useMemo` are signals. The main difference is that you have to track and specify your dependencies manually, whereas Solid auto-tracks dependencies based on their usage while the computation runs.
without ignoring manufacturer thermal limits

The whole point is to ignore them because they're horrible and hold back what these CPUs can really do. Fuck the manufacturers playing these stupid marketing games.

Intel warrants their CPUs at TjMax 24/7, they'll automatically throttle when they hit that limit, and disabling all this other throttling crap makes them run that way for full performance.

This is in serious need of an executive summary.
You can run 7B (equal to GPT-3 175B), 13B (better than GPT-3 175B), or 30B (better than anything else publicly available) but probably not 65B with that much RAM on an M1.

That would be using the CPU, as the M1 GPU is not yet supported.

Thanks for the info, very useful (would upvote, but I still don't have enough points for that).

I'm kinda simultaneously sad that it's not yet ready in 4.0 and hopeful about them working on it for some later 4.x version. But in the meantime, that unfortunately means that for anyone wanting to do a game where skeletal 3D animation+IK is required (i.e. most 3D games where you would see humans), Godot is still not a viable option, though hopefully getting there.

The other point that makes me think that Godot (much as I think it's a great project) is probably not the right thing for my requirements is their very opinionated architectural decisions about rendering… which are understandable for their goal of providing a low barrier to entry and reduced learning curve for many common use cases, but make it harder to customize and adapt to other requirements.

specifically: their way of encapsulating all rendering into a separate server with a rather high wall between that and the code of the game developer… is probably not compatible with what I want to do, which requires blending externally pre-rendered background/environment images with animated 3d characters and assets.

So currently, I'm thinking of probably not going with a batteries-included encapsulated game engine like Godot but instead using a render engine (like Filament, Ogre3D Next or The Forge) with a character animation engine like Ozz-Animation.
