I was doing work on an IBM AS/400 mainframe in my previous job, just over a decade ago. It supported Java and Tomcat (which was fairly current at the time) out of the box. The only oddity I needed to deal with was making sure I had a proper JDBC driver for its DB/2 database.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I don't have to deal with it anymore, but mainframes are definitely still around.
Depends on what you're doing. For a lot of sensors and things you might want the power-supply ripple rejection (PSRR) you get through an LDO. I'm not doing hobbyist things, but in our designs we have a lot of places where we will have a switcher that generates an intermediate voltage to feed a bunch of ultra-low noise, high-PSRR LDOs for different components (isolates them from each other too). This is RF though, where that is especially important.

Glocking The Coding Interview
I think the rented vacation home can cut the other way as well -- a friend may feel obligated to come because you spent the money already and expected a guest -- and if they can't come, they'll feel bad about it.

The way I navigated a similar situation was -- book the home for a week, and invite several friends to stay for a few nights when/if they're able. The cost isn't an issue then, it's clear that I was benefitting the most (being the only one there for the full week). And because several friends were invited, no one felt a specific obligation to come to make my rental "worth it".
Out of curiosity - what role, if any, does Norway's massive oil wealth play in these types of infrastructure projects? (Can the "pension fund" directly fund this?)
Real US church with a long history, prominent historic members (John Adams and family) and a rather open attitude towards the existence of God/gods: the Unitarian-Universalist Church. My agnostic childhood best friend sends her daughters to various youth programs there, and she and I are both recovering Southern Baptists (I went a more middle road: Episcopalian). She really likes their relationship and sexuality education series for teens.

In another article (or the comments to another article?), someone gave an example of the classic Monty Hall problem, but explicitly mentioned that all the doors are transparent (I think they even added "this is important" after this bit of info), and ChatGPT still went on providing the explanation for the better-known version. Absurd? Maybe - but garbage? I don't think so. Ok, some humans might also overlook the distinction, but having a computer behave like a superficial customer support agent who doesn't bother to read your email and just replies with the standard answer that they think fits best? Who needs that?
Depends on the company.

(Personal experience)

I joined a startup (privately held) in a senior position. Well comped in cash and bonus. No stock or options. Years later, the company was acquired by a larger company. The owner/CEO who sold the company granted stocks to the senior leadership and I got stock. This was exchanged for stock in the acquiring company.

The acquirer was a funded by strategic investors and venture funds and not IPOd yet. They went public 2 years later. I started getting stock option grants each year.

At that company, the stock option grants were reserved for performance. Let us say people were rated on performance as A (Exceeds), B (Meets), C (Meets some), D (Needs improvement). A would get x% over and above of eligible bonus. B will get eligible bonus, C will get eligible bonus less y% and D doesn't get the bonus. There's bell curves and all that jazz applied for each level (actually sets of levels that are functionally similar eg: Director/Sr. Director would be looked at together and similary VPs/SVPs together, EVPs/Presidents together etc.,).

The A's were eligible for stock option grants depending on tenure (i.e., after xx years of service in the company). The quantum of option grants depended on whether the A's were also eligible for promotion. For eg: a director (rated A) getting promoted as VP would be eligible for an additional option grant quantum as part of the promotion whereas a director (rated A), but not eligible for promotion would get lesser than the first one.

The board has a compensation committee that lays out these rules for "Key Managerial Personnel" eligible for stock/option grants.

Edit: The grants vest over 4 years. Intended to keep the key personnel for that period at least and their behaviors aligned to the shareholders.

(Anecdotal)

I have also heard of companies that grant stock options to a broad base of employees with the eligibility being tenure and performance.

I have always heard it to be a differentiated grant.
Maybe. Certainly it's not the case that Rust is just blanket 5-15% faster than C++ for tasks, not even in the vague hand waving way that Python is typically say 10x slower than C++ or Rust would be.

However, there are some ways that I'd expect similarly capable programmers are likely to often produce faster Rust code than C++ and much fewer ways I'd expect the opposite, so it's not a surprise when this work results in a small unlooked-for performance improvement.
A few things to say about this:

1. It's not always possible to detect memory allocation failure (e.g., Linux overcommit). So many applications will have to design their operation around the possibility that out-of-memory means someone is going to axe their process unwillingly anyways to support those platforms.

2. Memory allocations tend to be pretty close to omnipresent. If you consider a stack overflow to be a memory allocation failure, then literally every call is a chance for memory allocation failure. But even before then, there's often the use of small amounts of heap memory (things like String in particular).

3. Recovery from OOM is challenging, as you can't do anything that might allocate memory in the recovery path. Want to use Box<dyn Error> for your application's error type? Oops, can't do that, since the allocation of the error for OOM might itself cause an allocation failure!
> I don't think so. Outside of labs, I can't remember needing memory safety exploitation or hearing about a major compromise that used such an exploit.

In fact, a friend of mine invited me to do the same thing at Christmas time this year, and it didn't feel awkward at all!

I think it's worth understanding that this "genorisity" is strategic, not universal. People don't get rich by hiring employees and paying them most of the money they bring in, or by tipping every cleaning lady or splurging on their friends, or ... .

I think the important phrase in what you said is "network". You want to be generous to those in the network and those you want to bring into it. You want to be frugal when it comes to everyone else. It's worth it to pay for a fancy business dinner with someone you think might have strategic value for you (either directly or as a gateway), not so much with your friend from highschool who's in a dead end job, has no useful qualifications and has no meaningful connections that would even hypothetically be useful.

Of cours some might say this is less generosity than sociopathy. Some might say they're right.

This is the technology that's absolutely needed for off-Earth agriculture.

We take so many things for granted, like air and sunlight. I think the Biosphere 2 project was the only one that tried to figure out just what we need to support life in a closed system. It was horribly expensive and it looks to be horribly inefficient - 8 people to make the food and oxygen, and 3.14 acres of land. What we do currently for the space station is to ship them 1000 pounds of stuff every month per person.
You're getting downvoted hard, but I found this pretty funny.
It's irrelevant. They've been trying to do those things for years but their ability to execute is completely gone. Their efforts to improve things just make stuff worse.

To name just a few examples: they want all code to be signed but Windows code signing certs are more expensive than the Apple developer programme membership, much harder to obtain, the rules actually make it "impossible" in some cases like if your country issues ID cards without an address on them, they're now forcing mandatory HSMs and if your CA decides to change your subject name you're just SOL because only Windows 11 anticipates that problem but Microsoft can't be bothered maintaining Windows 10 anymore so their solution was never backported. Yet, the Windows 11 security hardware requirements mean many people won't upgrade.

So whilst building a theoretical strategy around sandboxing apps, they aren't even able to get the basics right. If the people making these decisions were actually writing Windows apps themselves, they might realize this and Microsoft would be able to get its teams marching in the same direction but there's not much sign of that from the outside.

Compare to how Apple does it: they run their own code signing CA, assign stable arbitrary identifiers to companies and people, and still manage to sell these certs for less than a Windows certificate whilst also throwing a couple of support incidents into the mix too, something you can't even get from Microsoft at all as far as I can see (and I've tried!).
Rewriting history removes our ability to learn from the past, which positions us to repeat the same mistakes. A perfectly valid concern often touted. But what is more rarely claimed is that we also lose our ability to learn from what societies of the past got right. There is an arrogance of the present where people think we are at the forefront of what's moral and virtuous. That history is a linear progression from wrongdoing, wrong think, and bigotry to a more enlightened present. Yes, I'd say we've made great strides of progress. But I am certain there are many generations of the past that we could learn from, when it comes to morality, virtues and conduct. With every new generation, these things evolve, where old ways are lost and new ways are gained. But not everything gained is always good and not everything old is always bad.

> * A Catholicism-oriented email provider doesn't mean they're from the US. For instance, they might live in Ireland, another country with horrifically bad urban design and a lot of Catholic people

I'm sure you're aware since you live here, but for the benefit of other HN users, Catholics in Ireland and Catholics as perceived by US media are quite different. US media perceives Catholics as one of the more conservative and devout Christian variants, and my understanding is that even within Catholic institutions the US branches are considered much more conservative than Rome. However, between the decline in the Catholic Church's societal influence and the various abuse scandals that led to that, your median self-reported Catholic in Ireland is much less religiously focused than the imported born-again churches and actual overt religious devotion is much less common in Ireland overall.

So even living in Ireland, with the census figures claiming the Catholic share is as high as you mention, I too would assume anyone who is actively and outwardly religious enough to seek out an email provider on that line is American or at least influenced by American religious culture. Add to that that our population of devout Catholics are aging, so are also not the demographic who generally seeks out niche email providers anyway.
Hopefully I'm not interpreting, but I think latency's point is more epistemological than a comment on "how science is being done". For example, scientists will still use Newtonian mechanics (as opposed to relativistic mechanics) to model reality even though we know it's "wrong". Part of this is pragmatic (tensor arithmetic is computationally expensive), but part of it is also because there's a beauty in the model itself and how it approximates what we observe. Taken to a greater extreme, we can also make Newtonian-like models that don't model observed reality at all, but

Ultimately though, I would say you're right overall - most scientists (in my experience) do want to understand the world/reality, and want to do it accurately.
clojure hardly needs a "hello world" introduction
I wrote the app in Python for the Raspberry Pi. For video playback I am using the (now deprecated) omx player.

I tried using VLC instead for video playback (I think the more accepted way to play video from Python now) but when VLC completes showing a video there is a visible flash that I cannot figure out how to get rid of.

I should point out though that it doesn't "stream" — you'll have to find some other solution for that. The Pi is a dedicated "player" hooked to a dedicated TV that is always on, always showing what the Pi has to offer up.
I don't get it. Can someone use an example to demonstrate the value of this?

It's always a flash sale and it just happens to be the exact course you're looking at and the sale always ends 12 hours from now. Open up a different browser and go look at that exact same course and it just so happens that the sale is ending exactly 12 hours from time you looked the course on a different browser.

It's a sleazy practice and it irks me that some people just shrug about it.

Navigating the High Cost of AI Compute
> this is equivalent to telling them that nope, they can never repay this favor!

But that's exactly what you want. You're trying to spend money on friends without making them feel obligated to spend money on you.

Perhaps there's better wording (and I'd like to hear it), but I think the best approach is rather than telling them that they have no obligation to return the favor, shift the obligation to something much less onerous for them by shifting it in time or in kind.

A good friend will believe you when you tell them there is no obligation to return the favor, but a more casual friend is less likely to believe you and more likely to think you're shifting the social obligation balance in your favor and might call on it in the future. Better to make it explicit to head that off.

It doesn't look there is any evidence backing your theory. It's alarming to see Twitter take down 83% of tweets in response to government demands under Musk, an increase from about 50% of tweets before Musk. The fact that Twitter has not published a transparency report since Musk's acquisition shows that its transparency on this matter has declined as a result of the acquisition:

You mean cedrata?

Though there are many makers of similar soft drinks, traditionally (since 1956) the most reknown maker is Tassoni.

The company has been recently sold (2021) and the buyer, Lunelli group (more famous for wines) has promised (but seemingly hasn't done anything about it till now) a new international expansion.

It is recent news that they are re-positioning the brand toward luxury beverages, JFYI (Italian):

Three ChatGPT Principles for Better Code Generation
Use some type of cryptocurrency for payments, or maybe a unified interface to different cryptocurrencies.

Or maybe you can come up with something similar to a cryptocurrency that integrates with your data structure and has core things like digital signatures for secure transactions and public distributed ledger(s). It seems like there could be a way to adapt some underlying features of ScrapScript for this stuff. Maybe as part of the "lab" thing.

Just don't call it a cryptocurrency. Lol.
There are a couple subs I believe that try to track bots. I say try because they don't exactly do any profound research due to most bots telling on themselves. But you get to see what patterns emerge from these bots: usernames are a big tell, a lot of them seem to be relying on the same script to generate usernames (probably pulled from the first reddit account creator repo they could find), and they repeat themselves a lot even if some nouns are changed (again indicating very primitive understanding of scripts). Another really huge tell, that only works if you're actively on reddit when it happens, is they reply to your comment instantly[1].

It also seems some are using these bots to change course of a subreddit [2], where they are upvoting/downvoting on mass (evading Reddit's usual bot trappings, which IIRC mostly stem from IP?). It's going to be very very interesting to see how easier access to bots is going to affect a lot of social sites.

There are two funny things about this entire situation: A) by attempting to call out these bots in some subs, you'll be warned/banned for brigading or being uncivil, and B) some subs have tried to be proactive about the situation but wound up being chastised[3] for various reasons like relying on AI detection tooling which produces a lot of false positives, and a general nonchalance as long as bots "post quality".

So basically, outside of external verification and pattern matching, you can't.

My wife and I bought a VW ID4. It's "smart" voice command keyphrase is "Hey ID". _Every_ time one of us says in conversation, "I have an idea" it kicks on. So, now we have to talk around it and never use the word "idea" in conversation while in the car.
I bet this can be resolved in the future. The problem is that some things appear very, very often in similar forms in the training data, this leads to the model memorising the answer instead to generalising. This phenomenon can be seen for other tasks in other models, e.g. vision.

I'm also wondering where the inertial measurement unit (IMU) is in there. People often forget about the inner ear a sensory organ.

I make a lot of tech for myself for learning, none of which being novel, so maybe this doesn’t exactly fit.

I made a raycasting engine to learn more about it and I’m in love. It’s the most clever thing ever. I can’t believe I have a 3D effect without using a single trig function. The math is so simple you could run it on a 286. Raycasting feels like a magical hack. It has no business being so ridiculously simple for what you get!

I’m taking it a step further and integrating a real-time map editor so you can modify a map as you play.

I’m not sure where to go beyond that, but I’m having a ton of fun.
