I'm absolutely on the train for the complete debasement of media, especially mass media. All of those networks of trust that we've been told are unwieldy at scale to implement are going to become a necessity. We'll finally be able to break people of the habit of using TV as a certificate authority.
Not sure, in Discover for example when you go to the far future the Star Fleet command is very well light, dark lighting was used before in Trek in Klingon ships or other shady aliens. IMO is the people in charge that impose their aesthetic, and maybe it looks good on their giant home cinema. Anyway the issue is you can't see things, if they want to emphasize something they need to do it without hurting accessibility. We also have Strange New Worlds and Lower Descks where they can appear futuristic and be bright.

The salary range in a professional track does not _have_ to be too low. That's a choice, a value judgment, by management. Some companies do things differently. In at least one company I know, the professional track runs parallel to the management track: engineers can earn as much or more than senior managers, architects as much as directors. It's all up to whether the organization really values the services it's independent contributors provide. Sadly, many companies are not only indifferent, but hostile to the whole concept: playing at cost reduction theater and outsourcing to satisfy the avarice of simpleton investors. Bottom line is that tech pros need to take charge of their own futures and avoid the latter kinds of companies like the plague, when they have a choice. People need to make a habit of asking questions about professional compensation structures during interviews.
A passive-aggressive attack on my third favorite language disguised as a joke. I see the humor.
You can’t ZFS import a pool on a drive detached this way without things happening to that drive, is the issue. So if you want a point in time archive, it’s dangerous to do that.

I think it’s nearly impossible
to actually ZFS import a pool from just a single detached drive too if the original is nuked, but I imagine there is some special magic operation that might make it possible.

Splitting the new disk off into it’s own pool doesn’t have any of these issues, and is a much cleaner way to handle it.
Please read the original link to the pull request, where I stated my change offered a 2x improvement in memory usage. You actually are able to load models 2x larger without compromising system stability, because pages are no longer being copied. That's because you previously needed 40gb of RAM to load a 20GB model, in order to ensure your file cache wasn't destroyed and need to reread from disk the next time. Now you only need 20GB to load a 20GB model.

The peculiarity here is that tools like htop were reporting the improvement as being an 8x improvement, which is interesting, because RAM use is only 2x better due to my change. The rusage.com page fault reporting was also interesting too. This is not due to sparseness. It's because htop was subtracting MAP_SHARED memory. The htop docs say on my computer that the color purple is used to display shared memory, and yellow is used to display kernel file caches. But it turned out it just uses yellow for both, even though it shouldn't, because mincore() reported that the shared memory had been loaded into the resident set size.

I use Git for version control but for some of my personal projects I also have a copy in Dropbox, so I can make changes on my laptop downstairs, not be ready to commit it, save it, go upstairs, and continue work from my desktop pretty much seamlessly.

Some of my projects aren't set up this way, and it can get annoying to have made a few small changes and be forced to commit them in order to pull them from upstairs.

I think the tradition of April Fools (and related, Onion-like satire) serves an important epistemological function, even more relevant and important in today's information environment. You cannot rely on tone and confident expression, but rather read critically.

In this particular case, what's being satirized are a fairly complex mix of perceptions about community and what actually builds a programming language ecosystem. I was able to poke gentle fun at myself (the Android font vulnerability) while also taking down some of the worst arguments out there, sadly common though. All this would be hard to express as a straight opinion piece.

Probably the biggest problem with this piece is that it has a moderately specialized audience. If you follow the adoption of Rust closely, hopefully you'll get a good chuckle. If you're only dimly aware of that, then there are too many insider jokes.

Your post made me read this: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/living-without-atomic-clo... on how spanner and cockroadDB do this. And the answes are surprisingly simple, but with consequences attached.

* Spanner creates very tight bounds on the clock synchronization (through atomic clocks/GPS) and ... just waits out the length of the bound.

* CockroachDB seems to do lamport-clocks-with-real-timestamps for linearizability (track the highest seen timestamp for causality chains). For preventing consistency violations with reads, they also track the bounds on the clock and potentially attempt to read again.

So they approve of the overall message (of not just comparing conventional timestamps) but work around those using the uncertainty of the clocks they have available.

My professor used to introduce logical clocks with "as we usually can't use atomic clocks on all nodes" because of that.
This is truly an impressive thread. HN will really complain about anything. It doesn't matter how innocuous the article. Some might say everyone on here is chronically online, but I don't think that's true. It's really just part of the culture that every post on here is treated as an invitation to read into the author's intentions and assume the worst of their character. Doesn't matter what the article is actually about, there will always be someone coming in with their "hot take."

I find this attitude way more exhausting and unoriginal.
I'm sorry but you are the one who doesn't get it. Your data does not show the most important point which is the difference in deaths in people between 5 and 40 years old. In this age range, we are already past the child mortality issue you mention and we are before the other causes of death that are prevalent later. Also, we for this analysis you have to focus on the major differences across countries, not similarities. It doesn't matter that something is causing most deaths, as long as there is another factor, such as drug overdoses, which explains the differences.
Honestly , I hate the laptop and the OS, I only had it because I was forced to, for testing stuff. The DVD drive is also broken so I would need to waste time finding a way to install Windows from USB(and Win installer is always a bitch complaining of missing X and Y), then find all the drivers.

I just wish a simple thing, I close a laptop for half a year and when I open it it should work, same if I open a 20 years old PC and want to run Doom it should not prevent me to do it because some developer used Chromium for it's interface and now they are too lazy to provide paying customers a way to use the shit they bought/rented.

When I was in high school I wrote a very basic Mac app that pretty much just wrapped some Terminal commands in a GUI. Somehow it got enough attention to get a small post from Gina on Lifehacker, which helped translate into thousands and thousands of downloads. Seeing my dumb little app on Lifehacker was an incredibly cool moment that made me feel like I'd really accomplished something.

Here's hoping they can recapture some of the spirit of the old days.
Why? Can you give me an example here, particularly as it relates to a medically necessary surgery or procedure? Or does it come down to difference in interpretation of what is medically necessary?

They can request and 99% of the time people just give it to them - all completely legal. However you can also legally refuse and then they need a warrant from magistrate's court.

I believe they can demand you don't destroy it though as that will be a criminal offence once they've told you.
Unless they’re following a particular course based on a specific thing like a Pi they’ll probably be better off with some older repurposed hardware, an old desktop PC with some sort of Linux perhaps.

The Pi shines when you’re interfacing with relays and sensors and stuff, for software alone a PC or laptop will be fine.

> All the costs to the world of aCropalypse could've been averted. Some of those costs might eventually come back to the company.

This is the bigger problem, there will be very little real cost to the company or engineers involved. My guess is that the cost for engineering a fix and blogging it about it falls into the buffer PR spend or security engineering time. If anything the company will learn from this mistakes for a short time and it will actually save them money in the long run.

The vast majority of software used today has very little legal liability. The industry has perfected the art of legal lip service. There is a massive growth at all costs mentality throughout the industry and engineer’s personal pride only goes so far.

If you want to see real change then you need government and the judicial to enforce real legal liability onto software engineers and companies. That would result in real cyber security rather than current wack-a-mole fines or government’s trying to promote or enforce best practices etc.
I seem to be failing to explain this...

In the 90s cutting edge cinema.audio was 5.1 systems (cinema digital audio) before that 2.1. You own a 5.1 system you say.

Are you really saying you can't grasp that cinemas have moved on in audio system since the 80s?

> At this point Japan had no capability to prevent US from overflying its territory so it is not like Japanese could do anything to prevent the bomb dropped. Knowing a bomb so powerful was developed and ready they would have no choice but surrender.

The counter argument would be that, if what you have written is true, then Japan would've surrendered before the dropping of the second bomb on Nagasaki. The surrender didn't happen till days after the second bomb, an invasion by the Soviets, and a coup d'état that, if it had succeeded, would've meant no surrender at all. Some of the "big six" in command of Japan's forces were either so delusional to think they could still win regardless of the situation, or that they didn't mind fighting until obliteration came. They were not rational actors.

Don't downplay yourself like that. A 25k token GPT model is a step in that direction but we're 3 - 15 years from your vision of valuable.

Currently, the Language Models (GPT or GithubCopilot) are mostly good as ... copilots. You bounce off ideas off them or use them to kickstart something you want to do. It's great for junior devs (me!) but it still cannot do big context or cognition (what you describe), that part will be done by humans for quite a while.

I'd bet there's a lot of variance from an individual AI system. Depending on the question, I think the best AIs might frequently have the appearance of an IQ ranging from the hundreds to sometimes single digits, while a dumb person is always stuck in say the ~60s with a fairly consistent dumbness.

A hostile takeover has a specific meaning. It's simply a takeover attempt where a buyer approaches shareholders instead of the company's management, this is usually (if not always) because the latter fails. And it always comes with a premium and drama, precisely because it goes against the wishes of the management of a company. And the premium is also logical because presumably shareholders of a company "believe" in that company, and an outsider now wants to take it over. A good example [1] is when Inbev (massive multinational beer company) purchased Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser). It made the purchase of Twitter look downright cordial, but was probably outside of most of our bubbles.

Erlang also has reference counters for things like strings that are immutable and can be shared between threads (processes in Erlang).

Interestingly, the Nepali entrepreneurs also run a lot of restaurants here in Finland - along side Indian ones. Though I feel that there are more Nepalese ones. The cuisine is almost indistinguishable from North Indian cuisine, and I have heard from some folks who have visited Nepal, that authentic dishes from Nepal are missing from these restaurants. Though I suspect that might not entirely be true.
> Does this throw out the whole moral panic about animal welfare?

Whether or not plants suffer has no bearing on whether we should cause animals to suffer. Animal agriculture requires the use of more plants as animal feed than eating plants directly, so even if plants feel pain, we'd cause less harm by eating them than eating animals.

> If plants suffer too, isn't it wrong to eat them as well?

This says nothing about plant sentience and whether or not they suffer. You shouldn't conclude that plants suffer simply because cutting their leaves results in a sound. We know animals are sentient, we don't have currently beleive that plants are.

If you haven't heard of him, the joke's on you. Maybe. In any case, his work is worth looking into.

He has done interesting work in font creation, font building primitives, rasterization, 2D drawing, and resistant social network graphs (which turns out to be more or less equivalent to the Old Sk00l Google Juice system).

He was recently instrumental in performing a wonderful experiment in editor building -- wonderful because of the way it failed. It was something that one would think would work, but somehow it didn't. It's always interesting when intelligent and well-informed people are wrong about something. Perhaps there was too much Design and too little boring boiler plate.
