If both of my grandfathers fought in WWII and neither of yours did, my parents are likely to have picked up a lot of latent trauma that yours did not.

I believe the lower classes in this country are less “privileged” for their freedom , on average.

You realize that a typical oilfield project takes 10 years to start producing the first barrel of oil right?

You generate assets during that period and the potential to pump oil. Same way that you invest money to a startup with 0 revenues.
The jobs seem to be pretty available in Europe, but I've been struggling to find Clojure work over here on the west coast of North America. I've had to bite the bullet and am looking for work in other languages now, though I'd really rather stay in the ecosystem.
I know this is probably an unpopular position, but my ML/NLP Ph.D. advisor always said not to do any optimization unless it would yield 10x better performance.

I guess that makes sense in the context of large-scale data research, where you should be thinking big if you really want to have outsized impact.
What exactly leads you to believe these “better” developers aren’t already working for employers who benefit from these skills?

time has shown repeatedly that eventually any given programmer will make mistakes with memory management, no matter how diligent they are. it cannot be avoided; no developer has a flawless day every single day.

How does one watch for new DNS entries? I was under the assumption that iterating the contents of a DNS zone isn't desirable now so is usually disabled/deprecated.
Five years later (if that!) this was expected behaviour on any x86 laptop!

My original Macbook Air ran its Core2Duo at the rated 1.6 GHz for about 5 seconds before dropping to 1.2 GHz. Thirty seconds later it dropped to 1.0 GHz, and a couple of minutes later to 800 MHz where it could run all day.

In 2019 I had at the same time two machines with i7-8650U CPU: a NUC and a Thinkpad X1 Carbon. The NUC could build riscv-gnu-toolchain (which I did many times a day, as I was helping develop new RISC-V instructions) in 20 minutes with mild throttling (to 3.2 GHz) while the Thinkpad took over 30 minutes with extreme throttling.
With further development, these particles could offer an inhalable treatment for cystic fibrosis and other diseases of the lung

CF is not "a disease of the lungs." It's a genetic disorder that significantly impacts all epithelial tissues and mucus membranes. This includes the lungs but is not limited to the lungs.

It also includes the rest of the respiratory system, plus the gut, skin and reproductive organs. You would at a minimum need to also genetically edit the gut of CF patients to give them something vaguely resembling a normal life.

The CF community is well aware that the gut issues are significant and life threatening. The rest of the world, including medical researchers unfortunately, seems to have not gotten the memo.

Having said that, the first news of gene therapy that I read and actually liked was a guy who came up with a home therapy for his lactose intolerance.* So we potentially are at a point where you could edit both gut and lungs genetically and do some serious good for such people.

MDE is an abject failure. Their "rapid response" definitions:

- Deleted users' icons and made them believe all of their apps were deleted and their systems were hacked.

- Caused Chrome to crash when dragging windows.

- I can think of at least another 5 instances where it broke ~100k machines.

Outlook's UX is terrible: tt doesn't highlight the current day or time well enough.

Windows insists on using PINs, making enrollment of biometrics with strong passwords impossible.

Windows is slow. It still suffers from stuttering responsiveness that has plagued it for 20+ years. This is what keeps them on the gravy train of forcing people to buy new machines that they don't need and won't solve their problem. And they prevent taking software licenses to a new machine by embedding the license in the device and tying it to magic numbers in hardware.
In this case you'd need to make copies of the Internet Archive (archive.org).

The Archive Team "only" organises the scrapping as far as I'm aware (volunteers run some servers, write code to scrap the service, etc) and then other volunteers run the VMs that do the scrapping. Then they upload the content to the Internet Archive and this imgur backup will end up on the IA's Wayback Machine.

According to the project tracker[0], 4TB or 3.55M items have been saved so far (15 hours), over 40M in waiting, but according to their IRC[1] more URLs will be added later.

> Basic Color Terms: Their Universality and Evolution (1969; ISBN 1-57586-162-3) is a book by Brent Berlin and Paul Kay. Berlin and Kay's work proposed that the basic color terms in a culture, such as black, brown, or red, are predictable by the number of color terms the culture has. All cultures have terms for black/dark and white/bright. If a culture has three color terms, the third is red. If a culture has four, it has either yellow or green.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Color_Terms

And:

> Berlin and Kay also found that, in languages with fewer than the maximum eleven color categories, the colors followed a specific evolutionary pattern. This pattern is as follows:
>
> All languages contain terms for black and white.
> If a language contains three terms, then it contains a term for red.
> If a language contains four terms, then it contains a term for either green or yellow (but not both).
> If a language contains five terms, then it contains terms for both green and yellow.
> If a language contains six terms, then it contains a term for blue.
> If a language contains seven terms, then it contains a term for brown.
> If a language contains eight or more terms, then it contains terms for purple, pink, orange or gray.

It appears to me that they're describing a negative liberty whereas you're describing a positive liberty.

From [1]:

> As [Iasiah] Berlin showed, negative and positive liberty are not merely two distinct kinds of liberty; they can be seen as rival, incompatible interpretations of a single political ideal. Since few people claim to be against liberty, the way this term is interpreted and defined can have important political implications. Political liberalism tends to presuppose a negative definition of liberty: liberals generally claim that if one favors individual liberty one should place strong limitations on the activities of the state. Critics of liberalism often contest this implication by contesting the negative definition of liberty: they argue that the pursuit of liberty understood as self-realization or as self-determination (whether of the individual or of the collectivity) can require state intervention of a kind not normally allowed by liberals.

GTA5/online is based on one of the most sophisticated and highest performance gaming engines developed at the time (the RAGE engine).

The infamous loading bug [1] is something that only happened on the PC release of GTA5, which among all platforms was the least popular and came out two years after the console release.

Given how many modern games have downright failed due to performance issues/frame rate issues plaguing the game on release, I can assure you that had GTA5 released with significant performance issues it's quite likely that the reviews for the game would have bombed and it would have sold considerably less than it did.

This is one great question I've wrestled with over the years.

Right now, all three programs would result in a different hash. I decided that the scrapyard publication process should do as little "magic" as possible.

As the tooling evolves, we can provide a canonicalizer scrap that renames variables and simplifies the code. I think eventually we would make this the default process to encourage more reuse.

For what it's worth, my batting average for getting problems fixed on the phone with a real person is substantially better than trying to sort problems out on a website. To the point that phone calls are now my first resort, before even trying a business's website.

Hmm. I'm thinking about apple right there, for a number of years now, Apple has been requiring independent repair centers like mine to adhere to restrictive contractual agreements. This needs to be applied to them as well.

Apple has no business telling people how to repair their own devices or restricting how people lawfully obtain parts.

Show HN: Data and Financial Analysis and Forecasting via Natural Language
Hey,
We just launched the MVP of OpenOS,a data & financial analysis tool! It tackles common challenges like needing technical skills for querying data, integrating open-source models, and scattered data. With OpenOS, you can:

1. Query relational databases & financial info using natural language.
2. Generate reports like MIS & financial statements with a single command.
3. Forecast user growth, cashflow, etc.
It's powered by GPT, Tapas, and Prophet. We built it as a project/tool & would love for any of you guys to try it out & provide feedback as we build the product for public launch.
It's not as if that's the only reason there are more kids in rural areas, but if you did move to a rural area and had a bunch of kids your children would (statistically speaking) be more likely to have sex at a younger age than children in urban areas, they'd be less likely to have comprehensive sex ed in school and more likely to have abstinence only education which means they'd be more likely to have unplanned/teen pregnancies, and I suspect they'd be less able or less likely to abort unplanned pregnancies than their urban peers as well.
People who use Parinfer rather than Paredit when learning Clojure really like it. The concept is available in the Clojure mode in all the usual suspects of IDEs (IntelliJ Cursive, emacs Cider, etc.)

The size of the community is not as important as the value of what is available. It's just not widely known, or maybe there's still much potential yet unrealized.

What you hit there is that Node's HTTP server is written in C. This is not "cheating", as you saw in that cookoff, the performance is real. But as you go back into the JavaScript engine, you'll return to JavaScript levels of performance, which aren't dozens of times slower than Go, but definitely generally slower in a noticable way even on one core.

This isn't criticism, just something engineers should know. If you've just got a little tiny task, and it fits on one core (and one well-used core does a lot nowadays), a Node solution can be effectively near C. It does have a sharp rise in costs after that, relatively speaking, but that's still a nice little performance curve for a lot of use cases.
Because it's there
It's still problematic.

The HEAR benchmark is a great eye-opener. They have basically three classes of audio tasks, and find very different models excel in each, with the best overall models being kinda-mindless ensembles of the ones that do well on particular problems.

So if you've got something that works well for text... it'll take a couple years and maybe an entire new branch of research (diffusion!) to work well for image generation. I have no idea what generative models for chemistry will look like, but will happily bet that it takes some significant specialized effort.

EDIT: Looking at your name, are you ancap??

When do you think (ballpark) it would be realistic? I'm seeing so many problems with it - how do you get the stuff from asteroids to earth? (Mass drivers are a nice idea, but in practice I doubt the public would accept hurling tons of material towards earth). There are so many problems that we have a hard time expecting, like lunar dust[0], issues with the code used to run the equipement, as it is often to far away to be reliably controled remotely (The cassini mission is a good example if I remember correctly)

While I agree that for communications and the likes, sattelite coverage is a net benefit, you have to agree that the material benefits of exploration and research in space are undefined at best - it's entirely possible we'll find nothing useful for a bit.

I think it's important to keep things in perspective - how many order of magnitude is SpaceX better compared to the old tech? How many launches do we actually need to do yearly? Is there a point where the environemental cost starts to be equivalent?

I'd like to see how much the current space race is damaging to the environnement compared to using the old designs - imagine it's equivalent to 50 years of launches (not a real number), it then becomes much less excusable. Imagine if we stalled the current space race for 15-20 years and had everybody forced to only run simulations, I'm certain there wouldn't be as many botched tests and designs as we are seeing, other compagnies included.(For reference, since the nuclear bomb test ban all nuke design is made in simulators [1]
