I don't know of any software projects of comparable size and complexity that doesn't have years-old bugs languishing in limbo. This is the normal state of affairs for a web browser, and it's the result of human-factor bottlenecks that aren't easy to solve even for well-capitalized projects. Large projects end up having subsystems that work reliably enough, such that their developers can afford to shift their attention elsewhere. Over time various details fall out of working memory. You get to a point where there is a high up-front cost to making any significant changes to the subsystem because it requires a significant investment of time for people to acquire (or re-acquire) the degree of familiarity that is needed to make such changes comfortably. If this cost can be amortized over a large backlog of feature requests and bugs, so it can keep someone busy for a while, then it is worthwhile. But it often isn't.
The amazing thing is that the is-even package depends on the is-odd package.

Your advice is good but there's nothing wrong with getting a professional to help you if you have the means. I've made more progress in the last two years with a good therapist than in twenty years of reading self-help books.

It's hard to overstate how much a good mentor/coach can improve your progress in almost every endeavor.
I once read of a hypothesis that this is the brain desperately searching memories for a possible solution while its oxygen gets depleted.
SEEKING WORK | bar, Montenegro | Remote Only

English language and literature undergrad, customer service rep

CV: available upon request.
email address: ana.mneteo@gmail.com

During my time working as a customer service support for an American company remotely from Montenegro, I have gained valuable experience working with customers and providing them with the assistance they need. I am comfortable working on various e-commerce platforms such as eBay, Amazon, and Walmart. These experiences have allowed me to develop strong communication, problem-solving, and multitasking skills.

Although I am still in university and have two credits left to complete my bachelor's degree, I am eager to gain more experience and improve my skills in any way possible. I am highly motivated and committed to achieving my goals. I am willing to work any job that will give opportunity to learn more and improve myself. I am very much interested in learning more about the craft of writing, but would gladly agree to explore other options.
Inflection AI launches pi chatbot
Yes and that's the problem.

Bitcoin can incentive a local market in a global scope.

Bitcoin is a horrendously horrible virus.

Quite crazy to think about that this virus might be invented all over again somewhere Ina distant Galaxy far far away.
Agreed. I think this effort is completely missing the real pain points that ML suffers from.

While python the language is easy, and in many ways great for its original purpose as a teaching language, I'll take note of the few ways that Python ML suffers:

- pip hell. Really, having globally installed dependencies was great for the 90s and is terrible now that disk space is more or less a non-issue relative to dependencies. Venv/conda which do sneaky things e.g. with your shell is super dangerous (https://twitter.com/garybernhardt/status/1653171980483575808), and a misstep can trash your system especially when it has to deal with wheels with system-level dependencies (looking at you, tensorflow -- probably half of the reason why people moved to pytorch). Poetry sounds nice. It's been a while since I've checked in with the python ecosystem. Are ML people using that yet?

- Subpar deployment. Let's remember that Containerization basically exists because Python does not have an ops story.

- Subpar integration with web. You are forced to either create a microservice, or, spin it up within Django (nobody really does this). Then you typically have to pull in a bunch of sidecar processes (Redis, Celery, etc.) just to get queuing of your web jobs correct.

- Poor concurrency. Sure, you can run your tensorflow code in an awkward 'with' statement but I think there are very few ML practicioners who could really explain to you what that with is doing. That GPU is actually fundamentally an asynchronous entity. And god help you if you want to run and debug async python.

- No distribution story. Sure, the big guys are able to spin up, e.g. Horovod, but it's not really a thing for someone with less resources for a hot second on a few machines, and again, god help you if something goes wrong and you need to debug it.

Does Mojo solve any of these issues? From a cursory look, it looks like no.
Show HN: I've built just another currency converter app
Since most other currency converters on the app store are slow and outdated looking I built this. It works offline, has favorites and a calculator.
These are luxuries, not mandatories. That's why many people don't get them. They can't. I absolutely can't.
> I think this is a tempting solution but a bad idea in the long run.

The best part about this plan is it sounds like the company doesn't want to be in this for the long run. Selling the homes rather than renting them, and having a fairly limited term on restrictions means in the long run, these will end up being just regular homes with a historic tie to the company. IMHO, this looks like the company doing something good for itself and its employees in a way that's hard to manage otherwise. Building the housing as a bulk project makes it less costly and easier to manage shared costs, but it would be hard for the employees to organize that on their own.
I was skeptical at first when my doctor recommended it, but since starting Zoloft/Sertraline about 3 weeks ago I have been very productive and have for once in my life (late 20s) I feel like I am actually winning in my battle with anxiety/stress.

I am not one to immediately recommend anti-depressants, and will be looking to wean myself off in the future, but in my current state I have found it extremely beneficial.
those loans are being repaid

with votes

Democrats dangled loan forgiveness at the midterms, bought enough votes to blunt a Republican trouncing...never followed through to reward the voters but no worries, the promise can be re-made for the Presidential election

all Biden has to do is offer full loan forgiveness and the election is his

DeSantis will counter with auto loan forgiveness (just as big of a problem now), and it will be a battle to see who can buy more votes

Brazilian here.

I sincerely hope so, it is so tiresome to wade through all the bullshit discourse about it. For instance, the fake outrage about "persecution of christians" (when the opposite is far, _far_ more prevalent). Google (and likeminded billionaire businesses who can do no wrong, because you see, they're so goddamn rich) tried to pull a fast one and lobby though an "independent" organization, painting it as a "gag law", when its more like a "not ok to tell people to drink bleach" law.

Disclaimer: not a republican (or equivalent), so I can actually change my mind and/or eat my words when confronted with better evidence.
They took Gecko, the slowest rendering engine that there was (is?), made an entire OS around it, and put it on the slowest mobile phones that existed back then. That was not a gamble, that was throwing money down the drain.
> If you could replace all the vendor keys [...]

You very much can. It's trivial.

TPMs have four key "hierarchies" each of which has a seed. Of those four, one (the "null" hierarchy) gets a random seed each time the TPM is reset, while the other three (the platform, endorsement, and owner hierarchies) have their seeds stored in EEPROM/NVRAM, and there are functions in the spec for replacing those with new, randomly generated seeds.

All primary keys in a TPM are derived from seeds, and the derived keys are not stored anywhere -- they are always derived as needed from the hierarchy's seed and a given template. Therefore changing a hierarchy's seed loses all access to primary keys previously used in that hierarchy.

All other keys are saved off-chip encrypted to a primary key. Thus rotating a hierarchy's see loses all access to all keys previously used in that hierarchy (not just the primary keys).

The only thing here that is remotely problematic here is that you have to trust the TPM's RNG. If you're paranoid you might believe that the RNG is itself a PRNG with a hidden seed and that the manufacturer knows it. But if you roll the endorsement hierarchy seed and delete the endorsement key certificate from the TPM, then how will the manufacturer identify the TPM in order to look up its putative hidden RNG seed? Even if they could find it, how would they know which RNG output was used as the hierarchy's new seed?

So, yes, you can "replace all the vendor keys". It really is trivial. However, before you do it you may want to use the existing keys and certificates to bootstrap (enroll) the host into your organization's network and then change the seeds and certify various public keys as derived after the seeds are changed so that you can continue using the TPM for attestation.
10 years ago we seen a lot of open-discussion platforms. That all died when picking a side became profitable.

Here the people excluded are non-residents and non-citizens. So the system works for all residents and citizens, to whom the government is beholden. It could just as easily be extended to include foreign workers, and they've been moving in that direction already. This is an explicit decision not an implicit one. It's not that the system wouldn't be able to support them due to some fundamental or intrinsic issue, it's a choice. That isn't true of the US model.
This is a terrible suggestion because Apple has effectively removed the anti-theft features of Airtags in favor of protection against stalking.

The thief will be notified of the tag in less than an hour usually. I see the alert anytime I mind my friends dog. Typically within 45-60 minutes of my friend leaving, I get an alert which includes a map of where I was tracked and my friends email address.

The original Airtag use case included theft but you'll notice any mention of that has now been removed from the marketing material. It's really just for people who lose things.
Even with VTOL VR, which is a flying/weapons simulator designed explicitly to be used only with VR controllers could really be better allowing you to map an actual stick and/or throttle. Keeping your hand "still" or aligned with no guide, ie just free floating in the air, is an awful experience. It's worse than that fad of using the motion controls of the Wiimote to drive a car, or that time kinect made you mime a steering wheel to control a car.

Microsoft Flight Sim seems explicitly intended for you to sit in front of your normal computer screen with flight stick and keyboard and mouse and just plop the headset on. It requires you to press spacebar before you can do anything if you start the game in VR. It's so stupid.
> If you ask a child what comes after infinity, "Infinity + 1" is pretty much the default answer

(Full disclosure: have three children and plenty of STEM in the family)

I'm not sure that's the _default_ answer, of course one might easily get that answer if at least one parent has a STEM background.

Schools don't teach about infinity to young children. A pity, really.
It can! I'm using 2 cores per request though, and I've got memory to spare.

In context, I interpret GP as implying that things have been bad for a while -- a sort of deflationary position that is popular on HN when something Big is happening.

If that's not what's going on here, I apologize -- but yes, it's a strong HN tendency. It's a sort of machismo stance that derides alarm as alarmism, and it's quite popular here. Cf. HN comments on pretty much any article on AI from the past three months.

That's just factually wrong in the US. ACLU: "If marchers stay on the sidewalks and obey traffic and pedestrian signals, their activity is constitutionally protected even without a permit." There are a few other things to avoid (blocking other pedestrians, using sound amplification devices) without a permit. And of course, private property owners can set their own rules.

Tech pioneer takes a risk on something that ends up profitable - he is seen as visionary, people want to work for him, e.t.c

Ask HN: Will AI cause students to question career advice from teachers/parents?
How modern AI will affect society is unpredictable and so career advice from teachers/parents will probably not be taken seriously by students anymore.

Maybe students will now pursue careers that interest them rather than what teachers/parents recommend?
Hey did that in the past with the amazon integration
The converse is very much the problem.

Moving from constant levels of pollution to intermittent levels of population you notice ever stronger smells even as things improve. The reverse is also true, going from intermittent smells to constant toxicity it seems like things are improving.

This is the case because you most easily notice rapid changes not overall levels.

And again, both articles ignore the possibility of having better filters.

I worked with AS/400s. Very fond memories of changing the backup tapes, in particular. I loved the server room! Meanwhile on the software side I was mostly dealing with EDI messages and it was all about critically precise placement of characters (including whitespace). It was ... weird. Nice machines though. The whole company's back office systems for around 300 shops ran on two of them in head office. Ah nostalgia...

As a dwarf shrimp breeder, we must be doing the bulk of the work. We buy vividly colored dwarf shrimp, go crazy when they carry 40 eggs and gift them when when there are more than way more than the recommended 10 per liter. We also strive to maintain a ton of other tiny crustaceans, snails and worms.

The increase of organized crime and the spawning of a giant black market do not seem to be indicators that prohibition "worked".

Also, during prohibition it was more efficient to smuggle stronger alcoholic drinks due to the fact that a bottle of whiskey can hold more standard drinks than a bottle of beer (30 ml whiskey ~ 285 ml beer). From what I red in Johann Hari's Chasing the Scream [1], this seemed to contribute to spirits becoming more available than lighter alcoholic beverages.

It was always illegal to poison people. These doctors didn't care.
They are only that way because our society treats them as luxuries instead of baseline "these are needed to properly take care of yourself."

Apparently only the rich deserve things like this, according to US society.

You know, rich folks like Steve Jobs who definitely listen to their doctors and their support networks and definitely don't fall for quacky bullshit that means they die from a totally manageable type of cancer.
It's simply science, see the research for yourself: https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/
The trailing / on the URL causes it to 404 for me.
I have to disagree. That Western Society has systemically chosen to redefine them as luxuries and has forced its residents to treat them as luxuries, rather than the obligation for a healthy human experience that they are is a major source of the harm we experience every day.

We need to return to considering and treating them as the mandatories that they are or else we will continue to experience the cost of neglecting them, just like neglecting Vitamin C results in scurvy.
this is how the Apple bank accounts can work

Apple makes money selling phones, not mortgages

the funds deposited can be reinvested in Apple stock

as long as Apple is not loaning at interest, they could pull it off

I think people are underestimating the blast radius of these accounts...imagine an entity engaged in "fair" banking (and only banking) that is too big and powerful to be undermined by JPM, BofA etc
It took me a second to understand that you mean the article, not the comment you replied to.

I agree. I think the title is insightful, but I was surprised to see that the article picked a single, poor example to develop it. This is probably being upvoted for the title only.

It can still spark interesting discussion here though.

The LDS church has prohibited polygamy for well over a century now: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/polygamy-la...

LGBT rights in Utah is also middle of the road among U.S. states. The LDS church also supported the recent Respect for Marriage Act unlike many other conservative Christian organizations. Your other points about climate and economy are extremely generic and not really a strong argument for why Utah more similar to the Middle East than the rest of the US.

>Utah is 85% white and 60% Mormon, so...

Maine is ~95% white and ~60% Christian, so what's your point?

>The only reason that Utah isn't whiter and more Mormon is due to all the immigrant workers

Replace "Utah" with "United States" and "Mormon" with "Christian", then it remains a true statement for the entirety of your country's existence. The United States is far more culturally homogenous than most Americans like you think it is. Consider travelling outside North America for once before making such egregious comparisons again.

There's the problem. People don't need to die off; the hierarchy of influence (especially as it pertains to funding, and secondarily as it pertains to publication) has to level out and be evidence-based.

Depending on where one is in their journey, I thought I should mention that this is a great book, but also might not be step 1 if dealing with acute symptoms or struggling not to feel overwhelmed.

I picked up this book around the same time I started seeing a therapist for what I now understand was complex childhood trauma, and I couldn’t manage the content at the time. I dislike the term “triggered” to describe my experience, but the book was too much to handle until I had some more skills under my belt.

Coming back to it later was an enlightening experience.

By all means start reading this book. If you hit a wall, that’s an important signal and I’d consider seeing a therapist.

YMMV, etc.
If they return to baseline in 30 minutes, was there even an increase to begin with? What is the mean lifetime of those cytotoxic cells, and would one expect such a decay in so short a time?

I understand that it is a very dynamic system but 30 minutes seems very short to me. So is the return a die-off or where do they go?
