What's the state-of-art in reg allocation? I see that the Android Runtime makes use of SSAs to allocate registers in linear-time [0]. Are other language runtimes pushing the boundaries further and in different ways?

I don't know. The guy just doesn't like hooks? I think hooks are absolutely amazing. I'm in charge of a very large codebase. We are currently migrating it from CRA to Remix, about 40% done. When I compare my Remix code with the old code, it's EVEN BETTER than the old stuff. Despite the gigantic codebase, I am always able to figure out what is going on (thanks to hooks, just read the function from top to bottom), where the data comes from, where it goes to. It's just all around a good developer experience. I have a feeling this guy just yearns back to simpler days where websites where static HTML & CSS.

I have also been able to consistently hire absolute greenhorns right out of tech bootcamps with zero formal computer science training and they were able to build features that made our company real money and push to production within the first two weeks. React can't be that bad.

Now that we threw out react-hook-forms (Remix does it all fine with default form APIs), Apollo (don't need their caching any more, so just sending plain GQL requests via fetch does the job), Redux (Context API is just fine), emotion (TailwindCSS is so so so so so much better)... our Remix codebase is basically pure HTML and Tailwind's css classes. It's a bliss.
Damn, I knew inflation was taking a toll but that’s quite a leap ;)
This isn't just a server-specific thing. Discord can and will randomly lock you out of your account completely until you verify with a (unique) phone number even if none of the servers you're in require it. If you have a discord account with no phone number, it will probably happen to you eventually.

[Please ignore this comment. It is WRONG. I wrote it in haste without thinking it through, and without looking up data.]

ORIGINAL COMMENT:

IIRC, the federal government employs around 24 million people.

Private employers everywhere in the US will have to follow along to remain competitive, so this is going to result in a 5.2% annual rate of increase in income for employees nationwide (give or take) through the end of next year.

Companies will likely try to pass this to customers in the form of price increases.

To me, this suggests inflation is nowhere near under control.

Did you just suggest that $12k/yr is a living wage?
In the US, CS departments are about 50/50 spinoffs of math departments and spinoffs of EE departments; how do the latter fit into this?

Quoting my 2019 message to the cctech mailing list:

Adam Thornton says:

> The genealogy of Computer Science departments (and their curricula) (at least in the US) is also weird and historically-contingent. Basically it seems to have been a tossup at any given school whether it came out of the Electr[ical|onic] Engineering department, in which case it was memories and logic gates and a bottom-up, hardware-focused curriculum, or out of the Mathematics department, in which case it was algorithms and complexity analysis and a
software-focused curriculum.

Yes, I've noticed the same thing. Example: Harvard's CS department is
originally from the math side, while MIT's is from EE (thus today's
EECS).

Berkeley = EE

Brown = Math

BYU = Math

Caltech = EE

Columbia = EE

Cornell = Operations research, math

Dartmouth = Math

Illinois = Math

NYU = Both (because Polytechnic developed its own CS program long before NYU acquired it to regain an engineering school)

Penn = EE

UCLA = OR (probably because of the RAND heritage)

Caltech until very recently did not formally offer CS degrees; students received degrees in Engineering and Applied Science, with a focus on CS (or aeronautics, or civil, or ME).

Illinois is an example of a track we might call "other" or even "defense". With government funding the university built its own computers (including ILLIAC and PLATO), and the group that did so became the CS department, but the undergraduate CS program began within the math department. Harvard's and Penn's programs might also qualify.

Undergraduate CS degrees are BA (Example: Harvard), BS (Example: Penn), or both (Example: Columbia). At Penn one must be an engineering student to major in CS. At Columbia one can major in CS in either the liberal arts or engineering schools, but with different curriculums. At Yale there is one undergraduate school, within which one can receive a BA or BS in CS, with different curriculums. Cornell, Northwestern, and Berkeley offer CS in their separate liberal arts and engineering schools; undergraduates receive BA or BS degrees with identical CS curriculums, with only other requirements differing.

I've read that medical schools are good at teaching either pharmacology (drugs), or pathology (diseases); perhaps this is also because of the expertise/specialty of their early faculty members.
But that was once in a month occurence, not 6 times (or more) per day. And it was one coworker, not tens or hundreds of your friends and "friends"
Note: this is for federal civilian employees only (~2.85 million but the article says 2.1 million) not military members (~2.13 million).

The article mentions military members once, but that annual pay raise is part of a separate piece of legislation.

(The discrepancy between 2.85 total federal civilian employees and 2.1 million affected employees listed in the article is likely due to the fact that a minority but significant proportion of federal civilian employees are not on the GS pay scale.)
This strikes me as exactly the problem of these ML/AI based vision approaches.

There doesn't seem to be any higher level self protection layer on top of it to handle the general cases of the 1000s of things that have not been specifically trained yet/ever.

The current state of Tesla AP/FSD willfully ignores the saying "Things that never happened before happen all the time". If you have ever lived somewhere like NYC you will have seen things happen on the road that can never be trained.

I remember the example of FSD trying to turn left across the path of an oncoming trolley car. What is incredible was that the UI had rendered the trolley, so it knew a large object was moving towards it and yet decided to turn. Similar responses from Tesla booster of "well it was never trained on trolleys before, and now it is".

What is it going to do when a car goes the wrong way down the road? What is it going to do when someone is cruising in reverse half a block to get a parking spot? We can think of untrained scenarios all day. "Big moving object closing on my trajectory" seems like a general case being missed.
Find it weird that the rest is under an organization https://github.com/GDevelopApp, while the main project is under an individual. This means merge and collab works quite differently.

>Let each person choose what they want their Instagram to be

That's not as valuable to advertisers though. With recommendations and algorithmic sorting, the platform gets to mold what's important, and that influence makes it easy to sell off to the highest bidder.

I find a lot of value in following my friends---and my friends only. It's why we've all generally migrated off traditional social media and into private group chats. There's no algorithm mediating our interactions, and no one is going to try to sell our attention to outside parties.
Yes, I'm running the display SPI at 2MHz which is ~25 fps. Overclocking it to twice as fast works just fine but uses significantly more power as expected. I did not try to go further.

Approximately 25%-50% of the total power depending on refresh rate. Worst case seems to be alternating black and white pixels, maximizing the number of transitions?
pwsh never took off because it doesn't fit the spirit of unix system administration. pwsh is object based while on unix systems, it's all about shredding text. If you are on windows, use powershell as it makes your life easier. But I don't think anyone wants to use powershell on unix, linux, etc.
Am I understanding correctly that you are now both dictating how many and what kind of pets this person should own AND accusing them of medicare fraud, while continuing to ignore the fact that $21,600 is not fair annual compensation for 1/3 of one's life?

This Linus Tech Tips video comparing 8k with 4k for gaming purposes seems relevant:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y5jEK-72JQ

It's effectively -> we tested a bunch of games at both resolutions, and couldn't tell which was which. So 8k doesn't seem to be worth it.
Insta is like a computer role playing game, where the player usually plays a character that closely resembles themselves, but often as a more idealized version.

When my daughter started playing Hogwarth's legacy, she instantly created a charcter that looked as much as possible like her. Instagram is not that different.
holy crap what a blast from the past, before i was working and bought gear, i'd just fawn over these mics and all the rack gear on the now defunct mercenary.com
Thanks for the flashback!! :)
If you are willing and have the time, I would appreciate any specific instance/cases of this you could point me towards. My current understanding is that the FBI often investigates such situations, but I am not familiar with any such cases that I would consider "successfully dealt with" -- rather, a few specific folks are hung out to dry, but it appears to me that the institutional issues always remain.

Part of me wonder if issue may be (at least partially) a result of the fact that the FBI themselves are "cops", and it can be unsettling to prosecute illegal conduct in which you and your fellow officers also engage.
I loved Carl Kassel but towards the end of his run on NPR it got very hard to listen to him for this reason. RIP Carl.
This is very cool, especially the choice of screen!

I've often thought about how the PDAs of yore (and Nokia dumbphones) had monochrome LCD screeens that were perfectly usable for text and had week-long battery life.

It's something I'm hoping will make a comeback as more people begin to realize that the "there's an app for that" mentality is leading to the creation of apps that aren't necessarily the right fit for a smartphone anymmore.
I ended up making a dedicated 2.4GHz-only SSID for my wifi cameras, which seems to have helped. I think forcing them to 2.4GHz, at least for my house RF situation, was the thing that helped the most.
They say this will affect about 2.1 million employees, FWIW.
They can produce a warrant to turn over what is already there. They cant force one to continue proving that service. Thats a violation of the third amendment.

Of course there no case law on the third to determine if one has to continue to give quarter to surveillance equipment.
Thanks! I’ll chill out about avoiding it then. What you say makes complete sense.
They absolutely are accessories, but mostly by inaction. They probably have insurance that covers them so it's generally just not worth it to get involved - just approve for the claimant and move on.

In my last job, the finance team basically didn't bother investigating or challenging chargebacks. The solution was to employ anti-fraud ML services (we used Ravelin) to prevent transactions that were at high risk of chargeback.

It was surprisingly effective, but expensive. Sadly, still cheaper than the potential cost of the chargebacks.
Yes, but stripe is not the actual processor, correct? IIRC they use first data as their processor. Pretty sure there are only like 4-6 actual processors. Fiserv, Chasepaytec, first data, etc. I'm sure their actual revenue after interchange and processor fees is much less than this.

Top Questions to Ask When Choosing an ITAD Provider
choosing the right IT asset disposition (ITAD) provider is crucial for ensuring the security and sustainability of your electronic assets. By asking the right questions, such as those related to certifications, and data destruction processes, you can make an informed decision and choose a provider that meets your needs and expectations.
Depends on when. If you join when the shares are with $0.10 then exercising is not going to be costly on tech salaries.
Oh, that is interesting! I didn't even know non-links could be dragged into the bookmarks bar. How did you even discover this feature?

Then on top of that, how did you figure out a comment like that would turn into the name of the bookmark?

Both features are very hard to discover~
I'm thankful to have a very low percentage of chargebacks for the amount of transactions I process.

However,the process sucks. These days if a customer wants they can essentially get whatever they buy for free. I've gone down the rabbit hole several times leading up to arbitration and given up. In most cases it is a few hundred $ so it just isn't worth the fight. I 'win' the first round most of the time, the issue becomes if there is a second dispute for the same transaction, that is when it becomes nearly impossible to win without more compelling evidence.
It didn't need to be an interview at all. It was more of a waste of time. Many people value clear, succinct communication. To this kind of person, a rambling interview which could be encapsulated in one sentence is a waste of time.
Only if you join early enough for the early exercise cost to be low. Anyone that joined after the first few years probably won’t be able to or want to pay the upfront cost for early exercising.
Sincerely, thanks for pointing out the basics of perceptive bias.

If we all just kept these counter-explanations in mind we wouldn't have anywhere near as much pointless controversy in headlines.
> > But this just does not feel right. It feels like tyranny of the majority.

> It's not tyranny. It's just democracy. Asset owners get lots of tax deductions, capital gains benefits and other goodies because they are the majority who voted it for themselves.

Democracy, by its ideal principles, relies on tyranny of the majority: Democratic voting relies on a majority of people voting for A, regardless of the voting mechanism used, with those voting for (B, C, D, etc.) getting the raw end of the shaft.

I've been working on a similar project and if you're up for it, would love to talk to you in more depth about your project if you're game. I've been eying up the newer Apollo4 (having recently ordered the devkit to experiment with). My email is in my profile if you'd like to chat and trade information, ideas, or collaborate.
Worry about your tyres.
Sounds like a simple service someone could provide. API with two endpoints: one that takes the hash of an email address + details about the chargeback (dollar amount, etc.) and another that returns some kind of score based on the same email hash.

Merchants could opt in to the database by agreeing to share chargeback data. If someone on the list tried to sign up, the merchant could either block the sign up or present an alternative/safer payment method (e.g., direct deposit).

All that being said, no idea if it'd be worth it for merchants.
Principal component analysis can negatively impact science
It's not hyperbole, IMO, and this format of rationale is faulty. There are many reasons why technologies and platforms become ubiquitous. Asserting that being ubiquitous means it can't also be miserable for the user is demonstrably false, with almost unlimited examples throughout software history.
>would a payment of 360K to every black person with slave lineage be enough? Would we be done with race issues and finally able to move on to other problems?

Its a debt owed, not a favor. Nobody from the harmed group will owe anyone anything in return.

Since the payment was delayed and robbery was a continual and extended practice of the dominant society in partnership with the local, state, and federal governments, any additional verifiable claim they make for damages must be considered and if valid, they must be compensated for.

The benefit of paying a hefty penalty for massive crimes against fellow citizens, is nobody will feel comfortable repeating the crimes on your family or mine in the future when they know the high price they will pay.
It’s only hyperbole if you want it to be.

“Apple’s plan…” keeps it feeling pretty banal to me. This article is not meant as a treatise on the market, but how well “Apple’s plan…” is going for Apple.
Off the top of my head I can think of both Siemens and Telefunken who made computers going back to the 1950s. In the early 1970s, I took a grad course on the design of the ALGOL 68 compiler for the Telefunken TR440 system, taught by one of the compiler's designers at the Technical University of Munich.

I'd say that modern Germany has definitely produced significant contributions.
RSUs do expire if they do not have the qualifying events to convert to shares in time, with a window similar to option expiry.

It sounds like Stripe is going to declare a qualifying event which will convert outstanding RSUs into shares which will bring along with it a major tax implication for the RSU holders, who would be in a really tough spot if they got a windfall of totally illiquid Stripe equity. So Stripe is going to buy shares to facilitate tax withholding, for which they need the $$ they are raising.
No, I did spend some time reading eink datasheets but in the end it seemed too hard for me to do on my own. There's the Kindle and Freewrite so it seems possible
Ok, and how many drivers have crashed into emergency vehicles when being driven by humans? Without that number, at a minimum, the article conveys very little meaningful information.

Also, anyone who has ever used an actual aircraft autopilot knows that they are actually very similar to what Tesla has. They relieve you of making constant control inputs need near constant supervision. Is the marketing deceptive, perhaps, but its not incorrect.
This doesn't really feel like much of a revelation. Retry w/circuit breaker and cache-aside are things I was doing almost 20 years ago, and others long before that.
I think even getting as far as you've concluded may require a lawyer. I wouldn't follow legal advice on HN saying don't get a lawyer.
> ChatGPT watches you type, it sees the words come in one at a time rather than as a single block of text.

Are you sure? That could speed up latency but would use a bunch of extra computing power.

> So it knows when you are hesitating etc.

This I really doubt. The base algorithm is fed a stream of tokens. It doesn't have any sense of time or do anything when idle. What mechanism do you suggest they're using here, and what evidence do you have for it?
+1, and the OP mentions a wrapper to handle invalid JSON from GPT-3. I’d be interested in that too

Dry steering will also damage your concrete or pavement. Should probably jack your car up while doing this or turn up the sensitivity so very small inputs translate to larger turns
I guess the way I think about it is, if person is driving 70mph with ACC enabled and crash into a clearly visible roadway obstruction (firetrucks are highly visible even from a distance), that's totally on the driver who enabled the feature. It's not the job of that feature to prevent that kind of accident.

If other statements on this thread are correct, then this Tesla likely did not have autopilot and certainly not FSD- it had a pre-autopilot ACC system which led to a tiff between the vendor and tesla (possibly because tesla was being irresponsible while deploying it). So it's really hard to say this is a case of tesla cars automatic driving being systemically faulty. I do believe that to be the case, even for FSD, but it's entirely speculation.
I haven't measured, but the way the power consumption numbers are written in the datasheet (for the 2.7" one) does imply that alternating black and white pixels like that is the worst case.

So the display is about 25% of the 4.9 mW number? That's exciting! How often are you toggling the polarity of the LCD field? I've noticed that when I unplug the display it continues to display the same data for about 30 seconds on what is presumably the screen capacitance, but the datasheet minimum clock for that is IIRC 10 Hz, and as I understand it, never switching the polarity will eventually destroy the liquid crystals.

One of the things I really hate about normal computers is how high the interaction latency is, and one of the really appealing things about these displays to me is the possibility of getting much lower interaction latencies using partial screen updates, down in the submillisecond range (plus 10–20 ms for the crystals to fully change state, but it should be visible before that).
Ethoca basically facilitates this.
I have a story I'm fond of telling-- I ordered a pizza from GitHub for pickup. The restaurant was literally closed when I arrived. GitHub customer service instantly "resolved" the issue by ruling in their own favor (I even showed them pictures of the restaurant with chains on the door).

So, of course, I did a chargeback and never used Grubhub again.
Exactly. Definitely can see this happening.
I invoke the fallacy of base rates.
Also to clarify, RSUs are not exercised. They are yours when they vest and taxes are due when they vest (hence the double trigger)

Early startup employees are typically granted stock options. Stock options can be exercised, and the spread is taxed. Very early stage employees typically opt to do a 83b and early exercise. In this case the tax is due right then, but because the strike price is low and spread is nominally 0, the overall cost is low as well.

If you join later when your strike price is already high, it’s not financially viable for most to early exercise.
Hm no thanks. I trust these guys far more than I do "my neighborhood solicitor/legal support" and I don't even know who runs the site.
>What does nm measure these days?

Not Much.
I believe you are in the minority of renters if your idea of home ownership involves "millions" of dollars." Even at current real estate prices you can buy two houses for less than 1 million in most parts of the country.

I agree with your point that outlawing rental properties completely is silly, but not your analogy to cars or compute, which are not real property nor nessecary for one to, you know, stay alive.

Most services landlords provide are compulsory if you can not afford to purchase a home, something made more difficult when others drive up the prices of homes by purchasing them and then renting them out for a profit.

Curious, which interface do you use and how do you apply the effects? I’ve done this with varying degrees of success but always ends up introducing too much latency
