About bloody time.

As an IT consultant, I'm somewhere in the top 2% earning level, and I can't afford a house unless I move somewhere 2 hours drive from the CBD and eat nothing but canned beans for a decade. Forget ever going on a holiday ever again. Grow your own veggies and learn darning so you can repair your socks instead of splurging on new ones.

There was an interview with the Deputy Treasurer where he said with a straight face that there wasn't a housing affordability crisis. The journalist pointed out that his salary as one of the top public servants on the nation wasn't sufficient to purchase the median house in any of the capital cities. The treasurer then politely suggested that citizens should move to one of the "lovely" country towns. Nope, turns out that he couldn't afford to make the repayments in most of those too. Newcastle? Nope. Bathurst? No. Wollongong? Hah, no! And so on. The first town where he would be eligible for a loan was a place I had never heard of.

That's where we are right now as a nation. The boomers had climbed to the top and pulled the ladder up behind them.
Oh man that would actually be pretty great! Except for the hassle of having to organize everything, and the financial risk of taking on a big lease, but maybe with the right friend group you'd have people with strengths in those areas. In theory a coworking space with camaraderie like that would be the best of both worlds - you get to have a place that you can work that's not your home, where there's actual people you can interact with that you get along with, but if you switch jobs you don't have to suddenly give that up. Also potentially you could end up recruiting each other, or referring each other for consulting gigs, or working on joint business ventures together.
Cos or Romaine hearts cut into quarters and whacked on a grill for some charring is pretty good too.

"Horta" is any green leaves you like, blanched and served with oil and lemon. Sure, it tends to be Dandelion or Rocket or whatever, but I don't think it's specified by the greek ya-yas, its whatever is to hand.

How is that going to help Microsoft here? You can build games that work with both windows and the steam deck. Why wait for Microsoft's handheld device?
How is that perverse? That is the logical incentive. The perverse one is that middle managers rise by hiring people needlessly and building fiefdoms.
Well-adjusted people do, at least.
The UUID scheme uses random digits. The article states that 19 random decimal digits (about 63 bits) yields a collision probability of 96%. More digits lowers the probability of collision to 0.0003% at 25 decimal digits (83 bits).

So yeah, UUID is great, but only because it uses 128 random bits, which is pretty much exactly along the lines of what the article is asserting.
Which is why you use one of the AI search engines that makes it cite its sources.

I don't disagree with you, these models may be underfitted, but overfitting is not explicitly defined by val vs. training loss, but rather how closely its output matches training data.

If you trained a MLP model where the number of parameters exceeded the data, it would be able to memorize the data and return a zero loss on training data. The larger the models are, the greater chance it memorizes the data, rather than the latent variables or distribution of the data.

Early LLMs, GPT2 (circa 2019) for example was definitely overfitting. I would frequently copy and paste output and find a reddit comment with the exact words.
Let’s be pedantic: neither the quoted sentence nor the response said anything about random.

As far as I remember, JSLinux is mostly written from scratch and only uses some pieces of QEMU. It has no JIT, unlike this project.
Retiring at 40 is not always good. Being able to retire at 40 is of course stress reducing, because you can stop worrying a bit. Actually stopping might not be a good idea: Rates of depression and disease in retired people are not just a function of "being old" -being unoccupied and inactive also play a part.
> Do we really have to put these plants on critical natural resources? I realize the plant is already on Lake Michigan.

You mean by the water? I’m hardly an expert on the subject, but pretty sure you need a large water source for a nuclear plant both for the turbines and excess cooling.
I can't comprehend how this bank would be able to afford any variety of digital core banking system.

Compliance & management over the IT stack alone would probably be cost prohibitive. You can outsource just about everything, but at some point you still need a physical person to come in and manage the computer your part-time teller uses.

If you don't live in the extreme 3rd world, you probably already have a unique identifier in the form of "Country or Territory+ID number". It turns out relying on names when billions of people are using the same list of a couple hundred names is troublesome for record keeping.
Looking at the last image on the page, if that's meant to be E1M1, unless my memory is faulty, I think the author accidentally mirrored it at some point in the conversion process (possibly when gluing it together, by turning each layer upside-down?)
Windows is definitely adware now.

Microsoft saw how much the average user would install, and thought "we can do that too"; of course, by being "official", their own adware is much harder to remove.

Windows can show the weather in the bottom left of the task bar, which is nice

I've never wanted that feature nor found it appealing. I can just look outside if I want to know the weather where I am, or visit a site otherwise.
It's a desktop and was advertised as "a PC", but it has no printer support at all.

it pains me to see AMD just sitting on their asses through this incredible development of AI & possibly AGI. if they still cant get their shit together then they should spin-off the discrete gpu division into something purely compute focused. I believe now there is enough momentum in the AI/ML space to fully develop innovative ideas on h/w front.

I forgot to reply to this comment but I did like it.

I don't actually hate JS. It's possible to write great JS. (And honestly, things like Elm do exist, and Svelte looks pretty amazing, but these also have their cost.) The failing for me is that there's nothing stopping anyone, especially a library I might decide to depend on, from writing bad JS. This was the same problem I had with Ruby. We spent all this time aiming for thread safety in our app (a whole team spent a lot of time on it) and it turns out the 2 culprits were 2 libs we depended on, because Ruby simply makes no guarantees about thread safety (and cannot, because it's mutable, thus making forking either expensive or dangerous). That and probably a few other things burned me enough to make me say "no more" and I suddenly loved the idea of a language where "thread safety" is completely a given and impossible to violate and you don't have to mutex-lock everything.

I don't think FP will ever get popular, unfortunately, unless we NEVER teach ANYONE ANYTHING but FP, because the people that pay the cost of learning the FP way are paying it because of all the ways they got burned by the non-FP (OOP, imperative, mutable) ways...

If you ever get there yourself, you have my hat-tip. And truly, it is worth the journey.

> I don't know many people who would Return Every Item (as the joke went), but it was common enough that there was always some really beat-up climbing shoes at their member garage sales.

I think you chose an idiosyncratic case here. There must be a significant number of their customers who go there to get fully outfitted for a single, relatively short trip.

If you depend only on shame to keep most people below the age of, say, 30 from returning a rent check's worth of camping gear after a single use, well... as you stated REI no longer allows that. (IIRC that happened shortly after the 2008 downturn).
> there is no way to turn this news feed off

There are several layers to "turning it off". You can use Personalization -> Taskbar to turn off the "Widgets" icon which takes care of the immediate problem.

But widgets.exe will continue running in the background, and the only way I found to get rid of that is winget uninstall "Windows Web Experience Pack"

Grilled Hispy (?) Cabbage is apparently a thing in cuisine in the UK, if Great British Menu is anything to go by. Typically grilled on an actual fire, at least in most of the episodes I've seen.
What critical natural resource is the plant currently on? Are you suggesting that "the shoreline of Lake Michigan" is a bad place for a nuclear plant - an industrial facility that uses water, and where continuous supply of water is a mitigation to the most common failure modes?

Let's hedge our bets here - by placing nuclear power plants near abundant sources of water, as the original builders of the Palisades nuclear plant did.

Yeah but what percentage of users wanted that feature? Microsoft probably knows.
Google Docs is not anywhere close to as powerful or as performant as Microsoft Office. I don’t really see how someone familiar with both forward suites could think that is the case.

I think "this service advertised itself as for use for crime, so we can gather all of it's clients data" is a reasonable scope for a warrant.

This shouldn't work on AT&T (though room 641[1] showed that it does), but I'm less concerned about grabbing the mob's customer list wholesale than the grocers.

Btw, how much is the monthly lease payment? I clicked on one ad from a dealer where I live and it showed close to $1000 a month. Now I don't know whether I misread it or it is really that expensive.
> Windows is definitely adware now.

It's sad, isn't it? In many a Hacker News thread about the Year of the Linux Desktop, someone will inevitably deadpan how there's just no money to be made; there's no business model.

It seems to me that the same is true for Apple and Microsoft. There's "no" money in the desktop itself, only as a value-add, via platform effects or via dark pattern monetization like this.

Yep, the spawn is in the upper left of the photo; orienting the spawn down, the map sends the user north and west, not north and east.
On the Use of Windows for Harmonic Analysis with the Discrete Fourier Transform [1]. Why? I think its a good paper overall. Clear, concise, and a fundamental read in the world of signal processing.

But I like it for another reason. It proves you can have an insanely cited paper (~10k citations) by summarizing the work of others in a clear concise manner. It proves there is academic value in not just churning out "novel" research, but by presenting existing facts in a new and useful light. It doesnt leave the reader working out the the (perhaps sometimes ego-driven) equation jumps. It holds your hand and walks you through the subject in a really refreshing way.

One thing i find particularly obnoxious about windows is how they promote their edge browser. It would be one thing if it is well integrated into the rest of the operating system like ie. But in reality its pretty much indistinguishable from Chrome which, incidentally, is the only thing i've ever downloaded on Edge.
> Maybe? The idea that "more formal education is better" is kind of silly when you dig into it

If you believe that is true, then why would a country want to pay for it? After all, the world isn't limited to your strawmen.

The reason it's valuable to countries the world over, why so many want to pay for it, and why most all of them provide some level of public paid education, is it demonstrably results in a population that ends up with a higher standard of living.

Dont believe it? Simply check Google scholar.
For a "nontechnical" co-founder to have some actual domain knowledge that lets them understand a customer problem, gained through real experience. Not just someone businessy who wants to make a startup. So being able to attract and vet cofounders with real complementary experience.
Nit: it's Ah (A•h) and not aH, because Ampere (the A) is from Henri Ampere, and the h is just the inanimate hour.

A proper SI interpretation of aH would be atto-Henry, where Henry is the unit of inductance (from James Henry), and atto is 1e-18.
Political leaders are expected to conduct themselves appropriately in public view because they are selected to represent all of their constituents. If a politician makes an appearance on live television and says something that is offensive to their constituents, they can expect political repercussions regardless of what anyone else said on the TV show.

That other people in the debate compared a Shivling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingam) to roadside signs and poles does not excuse Nupur Sharma from the repercussions of what she said. Sharma made comments that she knew would be offensive to a religious minority, and she was expelled from her position as the national spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party because that was not the behavior the public expected from a high-ranking political figure.

https://indianexpress.com/article/india/bjp-suspends-nupur-s...

When someone like Mohammed Zubair makes a supercut of Sharma's comments to highlight the fact that a politician is not appropriately representing her constituents, it's not Zubair's fault that Sharma made those comments in the first place.
>the systems operation are well understood

That's like saying human behavior is well understood because we know how neurons communicate signals. It's too low level to be useful, hence psychology.

Right right right, my bad.

Now I remember why I switched from cricket. From time to time, I need data in Europe. On my US phone. That being said I should just switch when appropriate.

Thanks for reminding that.

I took the opportunity to check what the prices are in France now.

€20/month, and €10/month if you bundle it with your internet connection. ( bringing to a total of €40 )

I just checked the operator that historically has the better price. ( free.fr )
I think the time for a folding@home or Berkeley bionic@home style project is now. it will also serve as a backend server farm for all the university based research activities, thereby ensuring the research outcome are not beholden to any one company or benefactor.

I remember setting up my PS3 & home desktop for folding project. Its fair game especially if I can use the box to heat the room instead of the furnance.
You are right, although "sent them back" probably means adding their face and fingerprints to a permanent customs blacklist.

I imagine that this show go without saying, but as it wasn't explicit in TFA, I'll throw it in here.

These distinctions represent points on a continuum, they aren't (except perhaps at the limits) exclusive.

But the mix is also part of the choice that you make, or that is thrust upon you, as a finder, how much solving and/or implementing should I still do? Too much and you don't get any finding done, too little and you can become out of touch.

I've encountered people who have gotten this wrong, and I have definitely gotten it wrong myself too
On the other hand, if Microsoft can change enough people's habits of using Google to search, they'll be happy as a clam.

Who does journalism these days? Look at Reuters for example: its frontpage is deranged trash with headlines apparently generated by GPT with the only goal of disturbing the readers as much as possible. And Reuters is decent compared to other rumor-farms.

As bad as that is, and it is helpful you've provided some context here, I still don't think that's worthy of jail or any sort of formal state punishment. Which obviously is not a controversial take in most western countries. But more importantly I don't think it's an effective strategy to deal with the problem. Censorship rarely ever works unless you go full-bore and destroy plenty of good will and legitimate human progress in between.

Twitter has a great feature for that not where citizens can provide context / 'fact check' an article without deleting it. That's the best (and IMO only legitimate way) to deal with this stuff, countering bad information with better information. While still exposing publicly that this person is lying to you. As opposed to deleting or censoring it, you put up a big flag that says "there's more to this story".
What happened to all the engineers who knew these things before? Was this so long ago that they have all retired and died off?

Or is it that there are orders of magnitude more internet-based companies today, all competing for the same talent (which, indeed, is a limited skillset because these are not generally applicable skills). How many of these new companies exist _only_ because cloud infra is available now?
"E.ON Hikes Energy Prices 45% As Germany Winds Down Its Last Nuclear Plants". Note that the news title may intentionally muddy the water and I don't have enough knowledge to tell if the price hike and the shutdown of Germany's last nuclear plants have any causal relationship. That said, I know E.ON has already hiked its price due to the Ukrainian war. It looks at least the green energy didn't help enough.
I forgot, truck ownership didn't used to overlap with image-consciousness.

But we all saw the cannonball demo, didn't we? Do you really think the body is going to be invincible?

I, for one, look forward to testing cybertruck body panels when they park too close to me.
The first image of the batch of three before that is also E1M1, so you can compare and see that they do match up in an inverted fashion, proving you correct.

What? What are we being pedantic about here exactly?

The quoted sentence is found immediately below the heading "19 random digits is not enough to uniquely identify all human beings" in the linked article. So... actually, it is specifically talking about random numbers.

And then the response...

> If I assigner the numbers, I would carefully print 8 billion or so slips with different numbers, and place them in an urn. For each person, I'd draw from the urn, and then the probability of me assigning the same number to two humans is related to IT failures during generation. How many dollar bills share a serial number unintentionally?

Is pretty blatantly describing a randomization procedure, if not going quite so over-explaining far to say "I draw from an urn without replacement and with some level of randomization to my movements and without knowledge or any tactile or other hints of which slip of paper is which"...
