First few months/years* (depending on the size of the project), learn the project with its idiosyncrasies, try to understand the business logic and reasons why things were done in the way they were done (often there are good reasons), write good code for your assignments, write tests to cover the existing behavior, even if it's buggy. Earn the trust of the team.

Start to identify well-defined areas with a good ratio of impact/risk/difficulty and propose changes to tackle them. Refactor/redesign such solution gradually, with feature toggles. Rinse and repeat.

*"First few months/years" may seem exaggerated. The point is that you should be tackling the problems only if you really understand them, and that's unlikely the case when you just come into the project. As you learn, you understand smaller pieces and can tackle those. But to tackle the big problems, you often need to understand much more of the project.

Over here in Poland despite having open season for boars all year round and eliminating 185k specimens due to ASF a few years ago there are still a lot of them.

The meat is great - leaner than pork and gamey, but it's also expensive - 2-4x more than pork.

I mean, they disrupt ecosystems with their omnivoracity and propensity to multiply at a high rate so their population should be regulated, but you can't really compete on price with factory farming.
I think it's a leading question. The initial paragraph mentions interest rates but none of the other factors, so it seems plausible that it took the hint. Like it could have mentioned jobs numbers but it didn't. It could have mentioned covid hospitalization statistics but it didn't etc.
Only the 16 bit version, and probably not very well, you're better off running literally any other DOS instead.

PDOS is all written in C with little or no assembly code (like FreeDOS, but unlike MS-/DR-/PTS-DOS), and worse than that the 16 bit version is compiled in the "huge" memory model which sort of simulates a flat address space. That means basically any pointer operation generates several extra instructions. Because the author feels that segmented memory should not exist and is something that can be ignored, even on 16 bit x86.

The author is - IMO - a kook¹, who among other things is obsessed with UNIX and C90 (no other version!). His only problem with Linux/BSD is that they use communist free software licenses instead of being public domain, which supports TRUE capitalist freedom. His OS will be the one to restart technological civilization after a nuclear war.

¹ I might be one too, and I haven't even seriously started on writing my own OS, which will use segmented memory in the 80286's protected mode, be written exclusively in assembly for the kernel and Pascal for userland, and do it's utmost to not accomodate UNIXisms and the horrible C programming language, while still being compatible with DOS.

Kind of odd phrasing in the title but looking at the article it notes that this language had a big uptick in the early 2010s. I have seen images floating around showcasing the phenomenon in various charts and the observation offered is that in coincides pretty closely with the Occupy movement. The popular theory surrounding this is that it was a way for the powers that be to redirect efforts from wealth inequality to racial and gender issues via use of the corporate media. How true that is, I do not know, but it's been an idea floating around for years now.

Here is the status of SEC's unfinished case with XRP crypto company: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/22/xrp-cryptocurrency-jumps-as-...
Not really. It's debatable the Fed's intervention was even necessary and the concerns they had about the effects of LTCM’s failure on global financial markets were mislead and greatly exaggerated. Buffet's offer alone could of settled the situation, and demonstrates that the Fed likely didn't need to intervene at all. Ergo, the global market relative to LTCM was probably big enough to absorb the financial shock.

The problem is akin to a boat. If you breach the hull which is one big container, the entire ship will surely sink. If you breach the hull of a ship which has many interior separate containers, only one container fills with water, and the ship continues afloat. The bigger banks and firms get relative to the market, the more susceptible the system is to a complete collapse, as they essentially become the market. There is simply no denying that Glass-Steagall prevented mergers of commercial and investment banks, and no denying that removing it made the system less robust in this very aspect. It's the same reason diversification reduces risk.

Does that mean that the system can't fail when there are no big players? No, absolutely not. But to say Glass-Steagall wasn't proximate to the 2008 crisis is highly dubious.
Collection of a sample could generously be considered a medical "procedure" done on a person. But if a sample has already been collected for other purposes, testing said sample for an additional purpose can't be even generously said to be a medical procedure done on a person.

The lack of informed consent as to what will happen with a collected sample is the thing. It's also incredibly stupid, as without informed consent a person can't think to tell the collector that they've recently eaten a poppyseed bagel, and thus their results will be tainted.

‘We’re going to follow Captain Cook’: how an endless voyage stole my childhood
I guess I don’t know what you mean then. The US copyright law and the Berne Convention are both trying to establish what should be deemed fair, with respect to publishing and copying creative works. They establish (define) the fairness of copying something you didn’t create. They also try to be fair to creators and society by giving authors some rights (time-limited exclusive copyright), and by giving society the right to take the work into public domain eventually. The explicitly stated concerns are about protecting the economic interests of creators, which I’d agree might be characterized as utilitarian, but also with general social good, benefit to the public as you say, which is perhaps a lofty ideal?

* edit, since I didn’t see your edits about the Berne Convention. That’s an interesting take. I thought most copyright progressives viewed Berne as a marked improvement over US copyright pre-Berne. The most important aspect of Berne is that it’s globally adopted, so the discussion about terms really needs to be about Berne more than US copyright law, I think?
> a six figure settlement is a rounding error for these institutions. Given their inefficiency it could easily cost many times that just to change their practices and train doctors to not do the wrong thing.

They refused to discharge the mother for days and kept the baby in the NICU for an extra week. Average cost per day for the NICU is ~$3k/day. Six-figure settlements aren't enough if they get away with it frequently.

I'd been noting in recent weeks and considering commenting on the increased prevalence of sponsorship spots either highlighting service's own programmes and podcasts, or straight-up audience-support notices, across a range of podcasts, both NPR and from other organisations (e.g., WNYC Studios).

This suggests a longer-term and sharp weakness in the advertising market and spending. Given that public media sponsorships seem to be longer-term committments (I'm supposing quarterly or longer), this would mean a strong and likely lagging overall indicator.

Then was yesterday's news of layoffs and programme cancellations at NPR.

Given the significance of advertising to much of present Web / Mobile / online business space, this would seem to have a broader interest to HN's readership as well.

I don’t see anyone in Finland paying for coffee with crypto. Or paying their employees. Or paying their mortgage. Or raising money for their company. You know, any of the many things that happen every day in the actual financial system; the things that make an actual economy work and produce wealth and wellbeing.

So what does crypto actually do, if it’s not used for anything productive even in the most crypto-friendly countries? The best that its proponents can offer seems to be “one day it could do X” and variations on “it will work when everybody does it right”, a position oddly similar to true believers in Communism.

Many years ago I used to be quite positive about crypto. Smart contracts sounded clever and useful. The more I looked at the technology and the people involved, the more obvious it became that it’s fundamentally deficient and controlled by scammers. Crypto has had many, many chances to prove itself, and as far as I’m concerned, it failed at everything and doesn’t deserve yet another chance.

A problem I have with this type of experiment is that it's almost pre-messaging the bot what to say. Simply filtering down to very specific variables leads the outcomes in a very strong way. I suspect this exact approach will not work well for finding future problems.

I would be more interested if the variables were not pre-selected with the knowledge of what was important and could determine things that haven't happened, not because of the prediction but because this means it would understand how to pick the variables that are relevant (like the human did in this experiment).
Interesting, in my experiments alpaca-lora performed worse but definitely possible that isn't the case generally.
Why shouldn't they just be considered currencies? It is something a group of people agree have value and they are willing to exchange with each other for goods and services.

Advance consent isn't legally or ethically valid unless it's informed and the procedure is actually medically necessary and appropriate. Being tested actively contrary to your own interests would never, ever qualify.

just here to wish you good luck arguing with HN people on crypto. I've given up, there are a lot of interesting people writing on various topics but when it comes to Crypto, it's like coming into a MAGA group on Facebook and suggesting there is a better alternative to Trump.

"I was able to prompt GPT-4 in a way that makes it give information that is probably reasonable but that I had to then still verify myself, using my own expertise as baseline, because GPT-4 cannot be trusted to give true information, and it turns out that for this particular prompt the result made sense" is not something you should downplay.
From a practical standpoint, compiler dev job is very nice-ish, not typically in high demand, like developing mobile or web apps.

But that's what us, software developers, relied to. No compiler means no app.

And she could decide the invasiveness of peeing on a stick is not worth the benefit of being able to have an x-ray.

Also, you can be a celibate lesbian nun and in some countries you can't get prescribed valproate without having a coil or implant. Seems much more problematic.

If you're not writing, you're not a writer, thus if you want to be a writer you need to write and just doing it once doesn't mean anything, you have to keep doing it, because if I once ate a vegan meal, it wouldn't mean that I'm vegan.

You are what you do. While you're writing you're a writer. The more time you spend writing the more of a writer you'll be.

If you want to call yourself a writer, you have to write.

Standard answer is we can't tell you why you were rejected

How did you find out about the automatic rejection/identity of the reviewers?
Maybe it is. But perhaps we should be asking leading questions about every bank, and seeing what GPT comes up with.
I was expecting a broader type of question, rather than a series of more focused questions. I don't think the focused questions are "leading questions" necessarily, but it is sort of like "I have identified these risk factors, evaluate them." I would be more interested in the response to just an open ended "given this financial position what scenarios are likely to have a significant downside risk for the bank" or something like that.

I'm pretty sure any remotely competent financial analyst could produce something similar with presumably a lot more analysis of the likelihood of risk factors. (And hindsight bias would be cheating.) I also note that a run on the bank is perceived as very low probability.
Nvidia is in an excellent position - they have CUDA as you point out, and they are moving that into server room dominance in this application space

Google has TPUs but have these even made a tiny dent in Nvidia's position?

I assume anything Apple is cooking is using Nvidia in the server room already

Intel seems completely absent from this market

AMD seems content to limit its ambitions to punching Intel

its Nvidia's game to lose at this point...I wonder when they start moving in the other direction and realize they have the power to introduce their own client platform (I secretly wish they would try to mainstream a linux laptop running on Nvidia ARM but obviously this is just a fantasy)

if anything, I think Huang may not be ambitious enough!
> Weka is one such company and as you will find below, they are distributing the entire MinIO binary in their product, without attribution, to implement their object storage functionality.

What's the point of making MinIO an open source product if you subsequently then get mad that someone else is using your open source product? All this article tells me is that MinIO is not truly "open source."

This acts as a great warning to stay away from MinIO. Shame, because I was a big fan in its early days, and actually ran a deployment myself before they started introducing an entire host of anti-features.

But basically a lot. Which is why poppies are processed for heroin. Not eaten straight.
