This is a rationalization of a natural impulse that chronic overweight people appear to be unwilling to curb.

Just go back in time 30 years, and people were much thinner. Were they driving around with an empty tank? I don't think so, and neither did they.

Now, weight loss is complex at the societal level, but very easy at the individual level. I am currently on a diet because I want to lose 10 or 15 pounds. Do I find it enjoyable? Not really. But I don't find it torture like I did when I had to have an urological exam. Good planning helps, choosing protein over carbs and fats helps, and after 3 weeks, more or less, the feeling of hunger decreases significantly.

And if you go back in time -- not that they were necessarily better times, I'm just talking about the contexts I write about -- many more men wore a suit and many more women wore a dress. Today, asking someone to wear a dress or a suit seems like asking a stallion to wear a saddle for the first time.

Were those who chose the attractiveness of certain more formal dresses over the comfort of sagging shorts and flip-flops foolish?
It seems to me that when people are free from certain social expectations they tend, entropically, to choose maximum comfort, such as unlimited calorie consumption and sloppiness in self-presentation. And one could argue why this modern trend does not also see an explosion in the number of sexual relationships -- after all, sex should be one of our strongest urges.
But it has just been replaced by pornography, just as physical performance -- showing one's muscles or strength, or sensitivity of soul and body -- has been replaced with watching professional sports played by others while gorging ourselves on chips and beer from the comfort of the couch.
Agreed. One is the Amstrad CPC, which literally stood for Colour Personal Computer.

PC is only synonymous with Wintel because everything else died except the Mac, so the terms were essentially interchangeable.
I mean, that's a useless number unless I know the list of things that the FDA once approved and then did not turn out to be detrimental to patient's health.

I'd be more surprised if it didn't happen more than once in 117 years.
I’m not a billionaire apologist, but billionaires get a lot of flak for using private aircraft where it makes a lot of sense.

Zoom is not a valid substitute when you’re trying to make high stakes decisions that involve millions - billions of dollars and complex relationships in multiple time zones. Saying that human progress depends on it is a bit dramatic but these folks allocate large amounts of capital and have an outsized impact on the economy.
The impacts are being felt now. Droughts, and Extreme weather events throughout the world are getting more extreme.
Sound would be measured at the ground, I presume, as no one is really bothered by loud things up in the sky, but by the ground.

For emission, require airlines/airplanes to have a emission-sensor installed that automatically measure the emission. As a part of take off, make it mandatory to check it's working and as a part of landing, make sure it sent there data to where it has to go.
I could be wrong, but I think the OP was asking about "CS Theory" meaning the branch of computer science that deals with the theory of computation. Turing Machines, Automata, The Halting Problem, etc. Although those things are all old. I'm not sure what's new, so I can't answer his question.
Saying "microcomputer" (we didn't use a hyphen) is wrong is incredibly arrogant.

They're computers based on microprocessors. Hence, microcomputer. We often called them "micros" for short. Many Brits still do.

I know that "PC" now means "capable of running Windows", but back in the 80s and early 90s it usually meant more literally "personal computer", which was a synonym for "a computer small enough to fit on your desk".
Welcome to HN. This is the one undisputed fact that 99% of us can agree on. Arrogant Google hasn't done anything of note for decades and search in particular is a dying shell of itself.

This is cool but sending me a cover letter is sort of like having an @aol.com email address – it tells me that you aren't really with the times.
Yes I also run my servers on UTC.

But.

It's 2023. Setting a non-UTC timezone shouldn't break your system (or applications). Bugs happen and this is one of them, but "set your system to UTC" isn't an appropriate response here.
The OS tracks time in epoch but your application doesn't. Bugs like this happen because a library that does time conversion for your application has a bug or your application is time sensitive but doesn't know how to handle time travel.
You'll have to manually compute the mean after retrieving the nearest neighbors. Automatic fast averaging could be an interesting use case for clustering or using a vector database to generate training though.
Infant mortality rates aren't calculated the same in every country. I have no idea if Sweden does it differently than the US, but Cuba's low infant mortality compared to other Central American countries disappears when you calculate them all the same way.

Iirc this shift was actually much older and started as a pre-gamergate idealogical proxywar. There were even various projects parodying wokeness in tech at the time to comment on it. For example C+= which was a C++ derivative that had more "inclusive" keywords

Apps shouldnt use anything but UCT for their timekeeping, there is no reason to do anything in the timezone's time.

Setting the timezone should have no such effect.

> I don't think Apple's server side is big or interesting. Far

Tangent but I wish they would!

Apple's e-cores would be great for servers, and they are very area/transistor efficient (even considering the node). 0.69mm2 for something with (broad strokes) Gracemont-ish performance/skylake-ish performance (but no SMT) is really good even considering the 5nm node.

I think the real-world density shrinks on 5nm ended up being around 60%... so 0.69mm2 for Blizzard is like 1.1mm2 equivalent on 7nm and Avalanche is 4.1mm2, versus Zen3 at 3.1mm2 and Zen2 at 2.72mm2.

10ESF density is supposed to be similar to TSMC 5nm, dunno how true that really is in practice on actual products. But on paper that means you have Gracemont at 1.7mm vs Blizzard at 0.69mm2 and Golden Cove at 5.55mm2 vs Avalanche at 2.55mm2.

Or comparing to AMD using the 1.6x conversion factor, that gives you a 7nm-area-equivalent (assuming 5nm density on 10ESF) of 2.72mm2 for Gracemont (vs Zen2 at 2.72mm2) and 8.88mm2 versus 3.1mm2 for Zen2. And that's why they're doing e-cores, and AMD is just squeezing the last little bit of space out of their existing uarch, lol.

The M1 Pro/Max dies are mostly consumed by a gigantic iGPU (in a way it's similar to the latter days of Intel quadcore era) but the cores themselves are actually quite svelte - it's actually not a case of Apple "just throwing more transistors at it", sure they are doing that in the GPU but the CPU cores themselves are very area-efficient (again, even considering the node).

A Sierra Forest-style product with multiple chiplets full of nothing but e-cores would be a fantastic thing. I completely agree that Apple doesn't have any notable presence in server, but, you could make some real good products with the pieces Apple has already demonstrated.

I don't have an exact source, but I recall the Asahi folks saying that based on their reverse engineering, Ultra/2-chiplets isn't the limit, the architecture is laid out to go higher on chiplets (I want to say 4 or 8) and they just aren't exploiting it right now.
My favourite word processor is html.

Being serious here, not even trolling. I've gone through many things, and always come back to writing mostly raw html for my own needs. Occasionally I write a small bash script to automate some stuff, bit that's about it.
I think you misunderstood what I wrote:)
Just wanted to say thank you so much for posting this (I also just realized you are the author of the github repo). This is exactly the kind of content I come to HN for. I honestly was trying to wrap my head around why just separating "code" from "data" is a non-trivial exercise with LLMs, and your Medium article was extremely helpful in clarifying the problem to me. Thanks!
In Australia, to keep receiving unemployment benefits, you have to apply for 20 jobs a fortnight (or something like that). So you get a lot of unemployed people shot gunning their resume around to fulfil that requirement ().

Requiring a cover letter becomes a neat shorthand way to filter those legitimately applying and those that aren't. Those seeking to fulfil their 20 applications/fortnight quota don't submit cover letters - they still met their requirement, and I don't waste my time reviewing their CV.

() Even people legitimately seeking jobs would do this. They would spam out their resume to 12-15 jobs, and then with the time saved, they would use that to 'properly' apply for the handful of jobs they were seriously considering.

Yes, this is what a lot of people are missing. GTP isn't a solution, the same way Regex isn't a solution. They are tools that require a competent user.
Agreed on the first point. I let other people call me an artist or photographer or pianist or whatever I deserve - I don't even need to agree with it, and I've replied that holding a camera doesn't make me a photographer more than standing in a garage makes one a car or going to $RELIGIOUS_PLACE makes one a $RELIGIOUS_FOLLOWER - but I am growing into rocking the PhD title that I proudly earned.

I think the nature of DOOM's uncomplicated engine makes it easy to port. You don't need special hardware to draw it's graphics, and there's not even a Z-buffer to render on-screen. The folks at ID also make an effort to open-source a lot of their older code, which makes the process of porting DOOM fairly easy.

That, and the game still rules. I'll find any excuse I can to get people excited about Quake again...
Actually this is a hard way.

All it takes is a last name. You dont even need a first name or state I believe, although you may need a lot of patience and some luck to find the right "smith" without a state. Once you have at least a last name, you could look up the doctors specialty even practice address in the public NPES system.

Good for you though! Never though non surgeons would review surgery claims. Seems insane to me and grounds for a professional liability suit

You do need access to the state board if you want to check out complaints. i dont think You will find much though. Doctors rarely get "written up"
Problem is that neither the patients nor the doctors choose health insurance so they both get screwed over. Your company CFO chooses your health insurance and the hospital managers chooses what health insurances to collaborate with.
FWIW, I've seen good Scrum and bad Scrum. The company I work at currently actually does an amazing job with Scrum. Cases like these help me have faith in Agile as a whole.

>> I don't think the shape of the org chart actually matters all that much. It's the channels of communication, which way information flows, and how much autonomy the leaf nodes have that actually matter.

Perhaps that is not what is indicated by a traditional org chart (who reports to who), but the "real" org chart does have vertices (people) and edges of different kinds. The most important factor is the amount of time that you control. 1.0 means you completely control your own time, 10.0 means you completely control the time of 10 people. The real org graph is what I am referring to.

Interesting that Amazon is as bureaucratic as it is. Isn't it Bezos himself that came up with the "multiple paths to yes" concept. I suppose, some things are inevitable in an organization once someone has the power press the stop button one's income.
Biggest difference is Milvus is self-hosted (manage your own infra) while Pinecone is a managed service. There are other differences but that’s often a driving factor.

We (Pinecone) tend to attract customers who want to start, ship, and scale quickly and reliably without worrying about infra and ops overhead.

Government intervention is clearly necessary, but having government take over the industry is obviously the most drastic step we can propose.
I'm pleased then this will make it harder for you, cover letters and by extensions job application dumb hoops are asymmetric and just plain rude.
I think you're confusing a Personal Computer with an IBM PC compatible.
I would rather argue it is again easier to treat the symptoms rather than address underlying issues - regulate the toxic platforms. Similarly like smoking, the please don't smoke signs and over counter sales have not really helped until advertisement was largely prohibited/limited.
Right, and also the actual cost of the insurance which is about $20k per family of four per year. That cost will be born by the employer, partly by the employee, or by the taxpayer via aca subsidies.

We had a requirement from a Government agency to store the date/time in the system's local time (Ireland, in our case). All certs issued had to have the time it was issued, and they had to be local.
The British PCs were actually rather poor. The Commodore 64 was the second best selling computer in Britain during the 1980s. The Sinclair Spectrum was just cheap which was why it sold more but it was pretty poor.

I very much doubt you'd listen to a radio station that primarily talked about whatever issues I'm currently having.

That doesn't mean you don't have empathy.
If I'm being perfectly honest, it never even occurred to me to consider the open source route. I'm not opposed to open source at all--I've done in the past--but one issue could be that I might loose the ability to be highly opinionated about the evolution of the product, and I think in this space where there are already a ton of "do a lot of things halfway decently" products, being opinionated about what Lunette is and is not could be key to its success.
I dated a Chinese international student for 2 years. Her parents put a ton of pressure on her, academically. They would not even allow her to study chemistry (her passion in high school), so she ended up studying math. They are practically forcing her to go to grad school as well. She is not happy with this situation, to say the least.

Now she wants to study cognitive science. They are not happy about it but they can't do anything because they're in China and she's in North America. I've encouraged her to study what she wants.

I think there are countless other Asian students in the same boat. I think part of the reason Harvard is doing what they're doing is to push back on it. Harvard wants independent thinkers who are trying to make a difference in the world, not ladder-climbers (reluctant or otherwise) being pushed by overzealous parents.
You and I can agree on that in principle but there's a lot of reasons an application may read from system time. If the application reads the wrong system time source, then they get unexpected time travel. Even things like the RTC can experience time travel under certain conditions. My point was, using anything other than UTC is just unnecessary complexity and often enough ends in complicated problems.
"It's just an auto complete"
They don't give interviews to just anyone who applies. IIRC the first time I joined (2009, interviewed in late 2008) the stat was that ~2.3 million people had applied to Google, ~1000 had been hired that year, and your odds of getting in were like 2000:1. There were pretty well-known tricks for getting past the initial resume screen, like getting a referral, having an Ivy League degree, having a hot tech company on your resume, or coming through a recruiting avenue (eg. GSoC or TopCoder) that Google sponsored.

Maybe the interview:applicant ratio is better now that there's ~100K engineers rather than ~8K engineers, but a quick back of the envelope calculation indicates it's still likely not everyone that applies. On my team last year (before the hiring freeze) maybe ~20% of engineers do interviews regularly (a bit better than it was in ~2010), and we'd usually limit it to 1/week. That's ~20K interviewers * 50 interviews = 1M interviews/year, which is definitely better odds than in 2008, but still nowhere near enough to interview everyone who applies even if the number of applicants hasn't grown at all since 2008.
I'm going to reiterate a point I've been making at the previous ChatGPT posts, which is that ChatGPT and its plugins are now a target for SEO. The recommendations it produces in the future may not be as useful in certain aspects as its current recommendations.
Contempt for the Glue People
Android sets the priority of the top app's main thread and render thread to -10. Devices often also configure a cpuset reservation for the top app.
If your app interacts with humans or machines in other time zones, tracking in a different time zone can be necessary. Though often people don’t want to specify time zones with their complexities but instead specify times at locations. But I agree, generally your service doesn’t need time zones. The exception is necessary though when time zones get ambiguous or change (e.g. daylight savings going away)
The Provincetown study does not say that, it says that people who do get infected likely carry a similar viral load regardless of vaccination status, which was a reversal from what was seen in the initial strain. This represented an increased risk of transmission on its own that they felt warranted an increase in precaution.

Okay, I think that jogged my memory.

So, the idea is that no matter what mathematical mapping you create from Natural -> Real, it will always be possible to find a Real number that is not in that mapping. Therefore, |Real| > |Natural|.

Still, it feels wrong. If my "function" is an immortal monkey I've trained to grab one item from an unlimited Natural number bucket, and another from an unlimited Real number bucket, and put them together, that process could go on ad infinitum. It's hard to imagine one bucket as been larger than the other, when both are endless.
It's not longer this way. The 'text processing pipe' takes in two inputs. One is the instruction, the other is the text to apply the instruction on. If the injection is the text it doesn't affect the instruction. The model you're describing is the previous version.
I'll bite. You can make a program the maps from integers (expressed in binary) to the real interval between 0 to 1. No matter what bit string the program outputs, it is meant to be (and thus interpreted as) the binary digits of the number that come after the decimal point. Thus there is no need for a proof of convergence, by the very nature of the representation it is impossible for the machine to output something that isn't a number somewhere on the interval from 0-1. All that matters then is proving it won't halt. But I can easily make sure it never halts by having a program that sits on top waiting for it to halt, and then if it does, restarts the program. So I can check the mapping from the integers to the interval, and by extension from the integers to the real number line.
Knowledge of annoying minutiae can be indispensable when you're trying to debug code that looks like it's calling the right functions based on the function signature.
> I thought char was required by the C standard to be 8 bits

It's not. (EDIT: it is required to be at least 8 bits though)

Is "not perfect" strong enough criticism if people are being covered by services that do nothing? Today's article is saying that that large insurers might just be rejecting claims without reading them. Without the ACA, presumably money wouldn't be being spent on companies that literally just take the money for compliance reasons then don't provide a service.

This is one of the more annoying failure modes of socialised medicine; when things go wrong the consumer has no control over the waste because they aren't in control of the money being spent.
