NAND layers is another question entirely: that's about how many layers of memory cells each die has, not about how the dies are packaged together.

And of course the performance specs for the 2TB don't show it being 4x faster than the 500GB model: those specs are for peak performance when using the SLC cache. Consumer SSD specs almost never list post-cache performance.

I don't have one of the drive in question, but unlike you I actually know enough about how these things work to know what performance claims are plausible or not. (See eg. https://www.anandtech.com/show/16681 https://www.anandtech.com/show/16577 https://www.anandtech.com/show/16491 )

So has the raw salmon at the grocery store. You’d have a hard time buying fish that hasn’t been previously frozen, you just don’t know it because grocery stores thaw it before it goes into the display case.
Yeah man, and that leads to think that maybe I should not leave what I want to do in my 40s to 6/70s.
The average shrink rate has hovered around 1.4% of sales for the past decade[1].

We don't know exactly what shrink is because the rate is low enough companies don't bother investigating in depth. It includes some mistakes and damage, employee theft, and shoplifting.

Why the negativity?
> the easiest method for beginners

Why do people think this way? Honest question.

People create "installers" like these with the goal of making Just One Command that Does Everything For You, saying stuff like "easiest method for beginners". This is suboptimal for many reasons.

I don't want Just One Command that Does Everything For Me. I control the machine; I want to command it myself. This is one of Linux's main selling points. But even for people who don't think this way and just want to install your software quickly, I have concerns.

Providing this installer script as the only way to install your software distribution is actually setting people up for failure:

- Nobody knows how the script works, if it fails they have no way to debug what happened except grepping for log messages in the source code and guessing. At that point just read the whole script and do it manually.

- If the script isn't compatible with their setup, they can't just do the equivalent for their computer, because they might not even know what they need to do. And even if they do figure it out, how will they move on to the next step? They can't just re-run the script if it's not compatible with their setup, remember. Back to reading the whole script and doing it manually.

- The script performs arbitrary changes to their system configuration without asking, like updating repositories(!) and installing dependencies. That's not an OK thing for you to do without asking. And on some rolling-release distributions, like Arch, you never want to update repositories carelessly. Because, if the rest of the system's packages are left outdated after a repository update, they may no longer be compatible with the latest packages available upstream. But you update repositories, on Arch, without telling the user you did so. On Arch, one of the most active rolling-release distributions. So not only will the dependencies you install yourself not necessarily be compatible with the rest of the system—because Arch—random future package installs may also be screwed until the next full system upgrade. Which may never happen if the user never figures out what the problem is.

I sort of lost interest in installing the thing myself, so I never completed my personal audit, but I would recommend, at the very least, not installing packages or updating repositories without prompting first, and also publishing documentation on how to install this without running a fricken' shell script as root, which is not even an acceptable thing to teach "beginners" in the first place. They should be taught not to run things they don't trust, and definitely not to blindly run any shell script from any random website as root.

Sure, it may be 'easy' (for some definition of easy) for 'beginners' (for some definition of beginners) but please don't.
That’s a red herring.

Why would the PRC invade the USA? That seems ludicrous on its face. Who is claiming this? An attack (likely to be some gray zone situation) is not an invasion.

The panda Twitter account you linked to looks to be straight propaganda.
Very interesting! Do you think there is space for small or niche players?
This extension is ~roughly the same as a user style sheet.
It might be a good interview question to give a problem then show some copilot generated code and then have the candidate analyze it, walk through whether it solves their problem, and how they would change it to make it ready for a PR.
> apt is asking you not to use apt in scripts because it doesn't yet have a stable cli interface yet.

Oh, nice catch
I imagine that part of the motivation here is that with on site generation and storage the grid becomes less and less viable to fund via usage fees. Without much further storage improvements, an ordinary single family home could run almost entirely on self generated power -- but then when there is sustained poor weather they'd all hit the grid at once.

In that future the grid needs loads of capacity which are seldom used. It's hard to pay for that with usage... and logically that potential demand cost should be a connection fee.

The income based part probably arises because when you price out the connection fee you find that it would be painfully expensive for some. I don't think having the utility further trying to invade your privacy is the right way to deal with this, but I guess it's a lot easier to impose a tax via an unaccountable body than via other means.

I've tried this with a hotel in Italy, and found out that the price was actually higher. I couldn't believe it. I actually asked the reception whether they were really sure. Yes, this is our price, they said.
Real-time data on power consumption and generation
Prediction happens at the very end (sometimes functionally earlier, but not always) - most of what happens in the model can be thought of as collecting information in vectors-derived-from-token-embeddings, performing operations on those vectors, and then repeating this process a bunch of times until at some point it results in a meaningful token prediction.

It's pedagogically unfortunate that the residual stream is in the same space as the token embeddings, because it obscures how the residual stream is used as a kind of general compressed-information conduit through the model that attention heads read and write different information to to enable the eventual prediction task.
Google spoke about this: https://www.businessinsider.com/google-layoffs-matt-brittin-...

In my country (belgium) in case of a mass layoff the employer has to first work together with unions to find a way to keep the employees on board, and when no alternative is found has to help the employees find a new job. Also, for workers who were hired long enough ago they may fall under an employment regime where the notice period keeps going up, and may become as much as 15 months. That law was changed a number of years back, but existing contracts were grandfathered into the old system. That may complicate the decision over who to fire.

Ask HN: Why aren’t planes boarded back-to-front?
Every time I fly I see the same problem. Planes are boarded front-to-back. You always get a “traffic jam” of passengers stowing their gear and waiting for others to sit down and get out of the way.

If they boarded staring from the rear, this should be mitigated to a large extent.

This seems common sense. Why don’t they do it? There must be a reason.

They could board first and business class and then reverse board.
Yeah, because it is a new format. You don't immediately publicly release support for an experimental format.

Chrome added support for the in-progress version of JPEG XL in April 2021. The core coding specification was finished in March 2022, and the last part of the spec wasn't done until October 2022.

Chrome removed it in December 2022, citing a "lack of interest from the ecosystem", despite it having support in most major image editors already. It was a new format which was rapidly being adopted and a lot of major players were very excited about it, but Chrome's removal pretty much killed it due to their dominance in the browser space. At the time of removal, it had better support than HEIC!
There are no valid concerns or complaints with using BC as a launch site.
That does not make them bad guys
> I do find it hilarious that all the people who complained about Chrome supporting webp then went on to complain about Chrome not supporting JPEG XL.

They are different formats with different attributes, so it's reasonable to distinguish between them. JPEG XL is a general purpose image format. It's reasonable to want browsers to display it. WebP and AVIF are special-purpose formats, designed to leverage their corresponding video decoders, for delivery of ephemeral images to end-user devices. It's reasonable to object to limited formats that are manifestly crowding out general ones.
A generation as in 20 years ago? Are you sure you want to claim that those people had job security? 3-4 years later, those people would be out of a job.

40 years? Lets see what Volker was doing to maintain that position.

60 years? Now you're getting to a place that the term might have made sense. But only in this place, and only if your entire career lasted less than 15 years.

80 years? Well, we're in a war, don't know how much that counts for job prospects but a military career is a career.
Raw meaning uncooked. Almost all the salmon you buy was previously frozen, but it’s still raw. Besides, her temperature chart showed it well above the point where parasites die.

I was contrasting it to things like smoked salmon which have had listeria issues due to poor processing.

lower life expectancy in US in general can be attributed to a more unhealthy diet and less walking, which is on the flip side due to US's economic success - affordance for more food and richer food, as well as affordance for car as transportation. Another attribution is the larger amount of immigrants, which as a segment has lower income level and thus lower life expectancy
I was in school when the change started. In 1970-71 I was in 8th grade. And up until that time I never saw any disrespect toward teachers ever really.. students were paddled if they misbehaved.. and then in 1971-72 everything changed.. I know why it changed but I can't really say anything here because of censorship.. but now you know when it changed
Let in a lot more immigrants, and not the refugee kind. Vetted, high skilled immigrants. Let those immigrants have something at stake i.e. provide a path to citizenship. Provide automatic citizenship to children of those immigrants born in Europe.
In the UK at least, they've tried.

It works as long as demand is high, which is true for the US tech job market but not so true for the EU tech job market.

You could also fly, and take a nap there... The biggest benefit to a road trip is flexibility. If you see something that catches your eye and want to look around and take some pictures, a train doesn't give you that. If you decide to stay an extra day somewhere, the effect on your budget could be significant for other forms of travel.

As for pollution, maybe if they were building more nuclear plants and high speed chargers, then electric vehicles would actually be a better option for longer distance travel. Of course not counting the environmental impact of building a bunch of new vehicles vs. the one that I've had for over 7 years.
No, you are conflating dynamic speed control with the safety issues caused by the lack of a hard shoulder. See the other comments.
I converted a Bosch hedge trimmer to DeWalt (because I have a DeWalt drill) by just bolting a DeWalt battery socket I got from AliExpress to the bottom. Obviously not elegant but I was glad it just worked with + and -; no digital crap to deal with.
What I really like is the lane modification system on the Golden Gate Bridge connecting San Francisco to Marin in California. The bridge is usually 3 lanes each way during normal hours. But during peak hours one is added to the direction of peak traffic flow by moving the lane divider. The bridge then becomes 2-4 with 4 lanes for the peak traffic direction. I think this is doable for other highways as well - at least for the sections where a major artery merges. California drivers are pretty damn terrible when it comes to merging and forcing them to accelerate to highway speed by giving them a lane of their own at these merges with lane switch allowed in only direction will save everyone a lot of time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Gate_Bridge#Traffic
I don't think statistics v emotionn is a fair framing.

I'm thinking specifically about the communication around the plan to automatically shut down a lane when a car breaks down in that lane. They cited the time it would take their control center to detect the lane would need to be shutdown as the time it would take to render the lane safe. This ignores that all the cars also have to stop, which takes time.
I would disagree with RHEL being entrenched by the time of IBMs big push. At the time, you were still more likely to see commercial Unix than Linux at large companies.

Red Hat becoming entrenched wasn't a guarantee in my mind until IBM made that big push. If you could point to a single event that made it likely Linux would take over, without a shadow of a doubt it would be the blessing it received from IBM. There were an enormous number of bigcorps that made initial investment in Linux after that.

It’s also generating insane levels of inequality, so it really only works if you subscribe to the capitalistic illusion that GDP is a good indicator of the success of a society.

Way to extrapolate your own preferences on everyone. For me, security isn't even on the list of things I look for in a job. I'd take a startup job over a mature company any day and I wish looking for startup jobs specifically was easier than it is now.
Economy-wise maybe, but there is more to workers rights than that. They also affect things like life expectancy and quality of life.
This happens no matter whom you book with. The difference between booking directly and booking through booking.com is the difference between "sorry, sucks to be you, bye" and "there's this more expensive accommodation available for you and you don't have to pay anything extra".
Yeah, this happened to me (late 2021): was laid off, had at least one Sr. Director in an adjacent silo spinning up the process of lateral'ing me into his org, but HR confirmed that I would have to pro-rata repay severance should I resume FTE during the severance-paid interval (in my case, 6 months). I wasn't surprised as the last thing HR and bean counters want is to let an employee "double-dip", but assuming the interest of the Sr. Dir. in my case was genuine, it's a classic case of myopia on their part: it seems pretty likely that when a layoff is being planned, that there is nothing resembling pro sports' "waiver wire" where a list of all the employees initially chosen for layoff is circulated amongst all of management to see if other orgs want to (offer to) "claim" any of them (they presumably don't do this for secrecy reasons). I took the severance and didn't look back; their decision and process, their loss.

And we treat them, for that hard work and entrepreneurial spirit quite terribly. As a native born American I’ve been appalled at the mistreatment of H1B workers, and even those on other more “generous” employment terms.

Some of the brightest, hardest working and genuinely wonderful people I’ve worked with have practically crawled over hot coals to get here. They are indeed a source of the United States’ economic dynamism and we would do well to treat them well if we intend to maintain that dynamism.

I think class and caste are very different. Caste is ascribed at birth and can't be changed. Class is related to wealth and behaviors, and can certainly change in either direction over the course of someone's life. If you were born into a rich family, you may start "upper class," but then later in life find yourself farther down. Or the reverse.
Oh, hello. This is my website. I'm Emily.
I saw the influx of (nice, thank you!) comments on the guestbook, so I checked to see what was up. Yes, I keep the site running and haven't changed very much about it (mostly out of laziness) but I do periodically update it when something new (music, tv. merch, game, etc)happens. So I guess it is only still being updated because the franchise keeps popping up with random new things over the years. I do still have a lot of unfinished areas of the site that I tell myself I need to get done, but it has been 20+ years now, so you can see how well that's going (I see you, episode summary sections). I designed this for 800x600, lol. I am, frankly, terrified to actually look at the site on my phone. Back then I was really into making anime fan sites, and Bebop had such a nice aesthetic. Anyway, thanks for visiting my site and signing the guestbook. I am equally amazed that my old guestbook service is still operating.
Same thing happened to me in the early 2000's during the first dotcom crash. Except my contractor rate was nearly double my full time rate. It was rather dumb, but obviously they didn't bring _everyone_ back that they had laid off.
None of the concerns are about the name.
Item specific counting suffixes are a pain though
There is no actual European approach, there are different levels of worker's rights across various industries and in different countries. In Denmark if you have been working for more than a month than when you are fired you have a certain amount of time that you get paid (unless you find a new job), but you still have to work for them if the company wants you to.

In the tech industry it is generally 3 months and they don't want you to work during that period.
Interesting that the marketing appears explicitly compatible with Xi Thought as per state direction. It will be interesting to see if Chinese manufacturing know how and capacity can compete with American ingenuity and technology in this sector. It seems like the arguably competitive American ArcFlash coil gun options are ahead in development and more powerful and flexible but also relatively expensive and cumbersome at this time.
The "massive influx of talented workers" and "the supremacy of the dollar" are not innate advantages, they are a consequence of the real underlying advantages.

Much of the difference is reducible to American risk tolerance. They accept higher average risk for higher average returns, which compounds over time. They also embrace individual ambition to do great things as a society.
Hmm, I thought this only really applied when you use functions which Postgres can’t reason about. Hence the LEAKPROOF keyword to help with this case.
