The culture around, and subject of, Hendrix's music (and how his style was so perfect for it) was part of his success.

That can still happen in a world of AI... but on the other hand, maybe music isnt the strong message carrier that it used to be.
It is an injection, but not a surjection.

You need neither though. For example:

You can use jco to both compile a JavaScript module into a WebAssembly Component (with spidermonkey running as wasm inside), and to generate a Javascript embedding for that component. This solves all of your problems except for untrusted code looping forever, and that’s something which could be added to spidermonkey.wasm. https://github.com/bytecodealliance/jco

You can also run these same components server-side with Wasmtime.
>But you have control over your perception.

Only if you are clinically insane. Otherwise ones perception is influenced by the reality of the world around you.

Mental health is on the decline as more and more people go to mental health specialists to help them change their perceptions, yet their lives get worse, and their mental health declines, because they live in more and more adverse circumstances. The parenting movement to make children successful by raising their self-esteem similarly failed. The idea that if you changed your Childs self-perception that they would be wonderfully successful in the future did not work.

If a situation is futile, and you tell yourself it is not so, you will only injure yourself in wasted effort and quiet desperation and end up greatly embarrassed. Changing your perception in an attempt to cheer yourself up will only result in your abuse and exploitation, and a later harrowing realisation you want to deny that you played the fool. What "quiet quitters" do is direct their optimism is a more realistic and grounded direction, the optimism they can maintain the same salary with less effort, which improves their quality of life much more than just changing their perception and waiting for the universe to deliver a fat paycheque and a big promotion.

If you have a good opportunity for advancement and extra pay if you work hard, by all means work hard, but many people are not in such a position.

Yeah I think this confuses rates of change with set cardinality.

The weak non-apology aside, I can guarantee that this person does not feel a shred of sorrow. This is how the vast majority of CEOs think. You can see her sheer frustration at 0:55 in the video, she's so genuinely affronted that her employees would dare to ask about bonuses that her speech speeds up considerably.

This is to be expected. Typical power structures, especially those in corporate America favor the promotion of liars, backstabbers, cheats, and controlling people to leadership positions at a far higher rate than calm, friendly, nice ones.

This goes doubly so now that workers have a bit more power -- remember that outside tech, the job market is still pretty tight for employers, similar to 2021. Honestly, following Douglas Adams in The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy, anyone who is capable of getting themselves into a leadership position should on no account be allowed to do the job.

If you want to change this, there are few options -- but a good one is to stop rewarding these assholes with your money. I am going to avoid Herman Miller as much as I can in the future for personal or professional furniture.
That's a good question -- this result is arguably the one that made Georg Cantor a legend. (It's called Cantor's theorem, after all!) I had to refresh myself on the proof, but it boils down to a less obvious kind of "diagonalization" (this time to construct a counterexample).

We can show that S has a strictly smaller cardinality than 2^S by showing that no function from S to 2^S can hit every value in 2^S. That is, there's going to be some element of 2^S that no element of S gets mapped to.

Suppose, as one does, to the contrary: that there is a function, call it F, that hits every element of 2^S. We'll construct a particularly pathological element of 2^S, call it B, the set {s in S | s not in F(s)} of values of S that are not members of the subset F picks out for them. (Remember that 2^S is the set of subsets of S, so it is meaningful to ask whether any s is a member of F(s).) If this smells like Russell's paradox, good -- follow your nose!

Now, since B is a subset of 2^S, and F is presumed to hit every subset, there's going to be some element b such that F(b) = B. We ask the critical question: is b in B? If it is, then b is not in F(b) -- but F(b) is B, contradicting our assumption. If it isn't, then b is in F(b) -- but F(b) is B, contradicting our assumption.

Since we end up at a contradiction no matter which way we resolve "is b in B", and we know this question must be answered one way or the other, we must admit that our supposed function F must not have the property we asked for; it must not hit every element of 2^S. So 2^S really is "bigger" than S, in that no matter how we pair every element of S with an element of 2^S, we run out of elements of the former before we've exhausted the latter.

While 7000U laptops have yet to be benchmarked, dual-channel DDR5/quad-channel LPDDR5 systems top out at about 60GB/s. (The M1/M2 by comparison is a 100GB/s, and doubles for Pro, Ultra, and Max up to 800GB/s). As a point of reference, top end consumer GPUs like the RTX 4090 are at about 1000GB/s.

My understanding is things like V-Cache, eDRAM have limited benefits for dense transformers, as they need to cycle through all/most of the parameters when running.
Ask HN: How to turn off GitHub 2FA which I have never turn in?
I want to have an ability to use Github web interface without receiving the second factor over my email. My account does not have 2FA enabled but it behaves like it did enabled. Every 95-99 times of 100 github makes me to log in my mail and confirm the 6 digits from the mail. I do it several times a day because I never store cookies, I have a lot of devices and possible IP addresses.

The problem is that I do not want to read my mail when I want to code, and I don't have any mobile device nearby. Any alternatives for hosting git projects but without need to pass through 2FA?

Recently i fixed the Gtk1 backed for Lazarus[0] which uses Gdk_pixbuf for pretty much all bitmap operations as it provides more advanced functionality than plain Gdk. Sadly while Slackware had Gtk1, it didn't have Gdk_pixbuf.

I did hunt down some old version of Gdk_pixbuf and made it to build (at least on my system)[1] so it isn't that big of a deal.

I attempted removing the dependency at some point (when i wrote the text at the second site i hadn't explored that part of the code much so i was under the impression that it made little use) and while possible, it needs a lot of functionality to be reimplemented in terms of fpimage (graphics functionality that i guess didn't exist when Gdk_pixbuf was originally used). I did stub out all the Gdb_pixbuf code though and while glitchy, it does work[2].

I might poke on it now and then but i'm not part of the Lazarus dev team and whenever i fix any bug on Linux it is for the Gtk2 backend since that is what i'm using (i have no plans nor interest for the later versions of Gtk).

That happens mostly in our wonderfully super ethical industry of Tech.
One potential reason for the value capture problem for low wage workers is that a lot of objects they manufacture does not have a huge intrinsic value - instead, the value comes from the branding and advertising associated with the object (such as a sneaker).

The workers did not create the branding, marketing or hype. The fact that a sneaker that is manufactured for dollars is sold for thousands, is the actual travesty. The workers is capturing the inherent value of the labour - because if they did a clone of the sneaker, and sold it without any of the branding/marketing, it would not sell for thousands, but instead probably low $10s-$50s dollars, which is inline with the labour and material that went into it.
I don't know about you, but I personally have 5 Twitter accounts and 20+ Reddit accounts (sometimes you want to have different perspectives on an issue, have different front pages, or maybe manufacture a consensus).

DesqView/X was graphically multi-tasking DOS programs and running X applications the year after Linux was released. This was the Windows 3.1 era ( no cooperative multitasking ) and before OS/2 2.0 was out. Amazing.

Like everything else at the time though, it could not run Windows applications ( Microsoft Office ) and so it was doomed.

The larger your economy, the more of a financial cushion you should create and the longer your investment horizon needs to become. If you want to have a resilient society anyway. Political pressures though count against it and demagoguery can make it extremely appealing to reap short term benefits at the cost of long term investment in your own society.

It’s why I was really sad to see the Canadian government give up on its Crown corporations. Sure, they got tens of billions of dollars for it. But that wealth took a really long time to acquire in the first place and the market cap of having a complete monopoly can’t have been priced in correctly (otherwise the private market wouldn’t have been all lathered up at the opportunity to take over).
The thing is that the matrix as it is in the movie is allegorical, and for some reason I feel like you know that. I think there is a difference between knowing something and understanding something, right, and to me the realization that there is so much artifice, and not in a metaphorical sense I think, in a very tangible and I'd go so far as to argue certain sense, implicit with living in a society with culture. With universities, with arts, with expectations, with great-men, with money, and buildings, and other things, I just find words do not do justice to just how visceral having the realization is. I think reducing it to a pretty neutral, vanilla term like civilization just doesn't do it justice. It is the matrix, it's like a whole library of being in people's brains that we don't even recognize as simply a set of routines, habits, and biases, we think that's all there is. Sure, it may now be manifesting into something more quantifiable, but it's been with us for a long time.

A long time ago, I bought an Aeron chair for my home office.

Emailed the company to tell them how much I enjoyed the fact that the seat let 'air' pass through it, especially when I sat naked in it.

They deadpan responded with an email that since the chair has moving parts, I should be careful to not get anything stuck in it.

Seems like a much different company these days.

The Dart Side Blog by OnePub – How and when to use isolates – part 2
After part 1 of our blog on Dart isolates caused a dart bug to be surfaced, part 2 explains how to use isolates to remove jank even when large chunks of data are involved. We explore a pattern that delivers performance in most circumstances.
We also include a benchmarking tool that helps you to measure if a particular function is likely to cause jank by indirectly measuring frame drops.
Effectively monetizing the hosting of images embedded elsewhere seems like a fool's errand—at best, it's possible to subsidize that usage with other revenue streams. The vast majority of people wanting to post images on forums have never financed their posting and the communities themselves haven't managed to either. Photobucket and Tinypic left a lot of litter on forums that survived their era, and Imgur will ultimately do the same.
I think taking logs is an unnecessary indirection in the given proof. If n^m = m^n then raising both sides to the power of 1/(nm) gives us n^(1/n) = m^(1/m). So we are looking for two distinct positive integers at which the function x ↦ x^(1/x) takes the same value. The rest of the proof then goes as before.

Differentiating the above function yields (1/x^2)(1-log(x))x^(1/x), which is positive when log(x) < 1 and negative when log(x) > 1. So the function has a maximum at e and decreases on either side of it. Therefore one of our integers must be less than e, and the other greater than it. For the smaller integer there are only two possibilities, 1 and 2. Using 1 doesn't give a solution since the equation x^(1/x) = 1 only has the solution 1. So the only remaining possibility for the smaller number is 2, which does yield the solution 2^4 = 4^2. Since x^(1/x) is strictly decreasing when x > e, there can't be any other solutions with the same value.
The whole point of on device detection is that no hosting is involved or required: the media is scanned on device, and if the media matches the criminal material (actual child abuse, but in many US states easily anything transition or LGBT related, etc in other states anything gun or weapon related, etc) that is directly reported to law enforcement.

But physical property... you're telling me that someone ('someone' being a government - who probably took it by force from some other group of people) can just "assign" me something no human had a hand in creating, I can morph it, then sell it to some other person for a buck? The whole chain of custody is tainted. I should not be able to "own" these things no human created, at best, I should be able to rent it from

Isn't Imgur a fairly popular social media in its own right similar to Reddit? According to this https://blog.gitnux.com/imgur-statistics/ it has 300 million active monthly users, and if you go there and click around on a few images it seems to have as many comments as Reddit does.

I don't really use either sites, but isn't Reddit mostly a collection of links to content from other places? Whenever I needed to share an image online over the years, I tended to use Imgur without an account after bildr.no shut down, but I did only use those services if it didn't matter that the image disappeared after I'd shared it, and now that you can copy-paste images into basically any messaging service on basically any device that sort of need has disappeared.
Just to mirror what the other comment said, the MRNA vaccines were not so great at warding off symptomatic Covid; I'm curious how hospitalizations went w/ people who used Sinovac and the other Chinese vaccines.

> 5) but x^y will always be larger than y^x, for y>x and x^y > y^x (prove this by taking the first derivative to get rate of change. Do you use Laplace z domain for discrete, instead of s for continuous?)

This is false, though! Or, it's almost always true, but there are some exceptions. We of course have an exception at (2,4) and (4,2), where they're equal, and of course at (n,n), where they're obviously equal. And of course 0's and 1's will cause problems for you.

But also, most interestingly, there's an exception at (2,3) and (3,2)! 2<3, and yet, 3^2 > 2^3. Any proof has to account for this!

(There's a fair bit I could say about this exception, but perhaps I should just let you think about it instead. :) )

> Why resort to the continuous domain to solve a problem n the discrete

Because oftentimes this is easier. (In a number of cases it's much easier.) Also... you did this? Like to the extent that your step (5) is valid, you seem to have "proven" it by using the first derivative. That's a continuous tool! I'm not sure what you're talking about with the "Laplace z domain". Or are you using "first derivative" to mean "first difference", or something?

> is this even a valid approach?

Yes, why wouldn't it be? In fact this is actually one of the big reasons for introducing larger number systems, that they let you prove things about the original smaller number system. The rational numbers let you prove things about the integers; the complex numbers let you prove things about the reals; the real numbers and p-padic numbers let you prove things about the rationals; etc. (The integers let you prove things about the whole numbers!)

Proving statements about integers by means of complex numbers is a whole field in itself, i.e., analytic number theory. And in the case of Goodstein's theorem, one famously proves a statement about the whole numbers by passing to the ordinals...

So long as it is socially useful then anything a person does is healthy? That's my problem with freudian thinking, the sickness they identify boils down to belief much like religion does. Your belief which resulted in socially undesirable behavior is the sickness they wish to cure.

Where as psychiatry deals with the chemistry and biology of the brain with respect to undesirable behavior. still, the politics of the day decides what is a sickness but with psychiatry you have to prove some chemistry or makeup of the brain is responsible while with freud's psychoanalysis it is a belief which is conscious or subconscious that needs to be washed out if your brain.

Let's consider two very different examples of a sickness. Both homosexuality and interracial relationships were considered undesirable behaviors for which you should be treated and unless it changed in the last few years transexuality is still considered a disoreder (wanting to modify your body for any reason I believe). Yet whether you disagree or agree with past or current designations of these behaviors as sickness, it is undeniable that the politics of the day is the deciding factor for what is socially unacceptable and therefore a disease which makes it hard for me to accept the field as anything more than pseudo science.

Complex ways to call beliefs sicknesses do not seem like a particulary honest or intellectual way of analyzing people's minds. And this wouldn't be happening if freudianism acknowledged clearly that it is a tool of a specific belief system as opposed to a science just as much as religion can consider behavior wrong and fixable freudian psychoanalysis defines social sins that need to be corrected by supposedly scientific beliefs.
