How is this exactly going to work, when there are dark military programs in each country? And also having in mind military policies of superpower as USA, Russia and China?
That's wonderful!

Congratulations and good luck on your further journey! Keep having fun!
It seems defective and in need of replacement enough that Microsoft decided to not support these products in their operating system that would otherwise be well-enough supported by those chips.

Right now, that argument seems to be simultaneously "It's critical enough for Microsoft to explicitly deny running Windows 11 on it" and "It's not critical enough that Intel and AMD should do something about it, except to sell more stuff."

What kind of incentives does that create?
Yeah... and nobody knows what happens first. It's impossible to follow the execution of this gibberish because nobody knows operator precedence, and even if that was somehow hard-wired into your brain, having to re-scan the same line multiple times and sort out the priorities still takes a lot of time and will fail for large-ish (5+ elements) problem instances because people cannot hold that many elements in active memory.
Ratemyprofessors was literally responsible for improving my college experience tenthfold.
So what is your test for when it is reasoning? It would be both reasoning and intelligence in all or most tests 25 years ago. But now we changed the definitions because ‘it cannot be, this is just stochastic mumbling’. You cannot say it’s not reasoning unless you can give me test that it doesn’t pass that humans do pass.

You in this and other comments vastly overestimate humans it seems; I dare to say that whatever test you come up with; I can pluck a random human of the street that will fail it. And chatgpt probably passes it now or soon. The tests I have seen that gpt fails on also trip over the vast majority of humanity. Not the few elite like probably you and me on HN but the rest yes; you want to say they have no reasoning power either or?

Gpt might be reasoning or it might not be; I cannot say as I don’t understand at all how I reason myself. Or how to describe what it is to reason in coherent terms. Or to test for it. But saying the substrate (meat vs silicon) makes the difference and, even though gpt actually does get a lot of calculations right even though it was not made for it and we don’t understand why that is, means something is going on. I think it will debunk most of the religious arguments we have to elevate us to something special like you and others try to do pretty soon. It seems we will find that our thinking mechanism is a few pages of Python and then trillions of complex calculations to train it. Animals like us did this over millions of years, we will repeat it in 100 years or less.
> the biggest movement in prices is not because of demand and supply but rather because of speculation and gambling

the movement reflects the expected future supply and demand at the time.

The speculation is something that financial engineers use to offload the risks of such commodities from one party to another (such as from producers to consumers of said commodities).
Much better article in the Economist this week.[1]

Markets in a high energy cost environement make their margin more on volatility and speculation.

You will also see margins themselves widen until the system falls in on itself.

We dont have a financial margin tracker.

Also increasing interest rates in a highly indebted economy increases inflation; short term by widening of margins and long term by offputting energy extraction.

Lithium will explode soonish.

Margins amplify volatility.
Is it? I haven't seen any ads or a requirement to sign in with Microsoft/Apple account in macOS, there's no Pre-installed TikTok nor Angry Birds returning on every update and I haven't seen Apple discontinuing support for 6 years old computers.

The best approach is really hard. (Which is why proxy metrics in the first place.)

The best approach is to have a -very- clear set of goals, and to accurately measure progress to those goals, not to proxy metrics or goals.

Yeah, I know, easier said than done.

Usually a business has multiple goals, which are complementary. Enumerating, and measuring these make the system harder to game. Or more accurately make it harder to get better metrics without also getting closer to the actual goals.

If you want sales,then measure sales. If you want growth measure that. If you want customer satisfaction then measure that. If you want happy employees then measure that. List -everything-, measure everything. Understand the tensions, improvement in one area can drop the metrics in another. So work to keep improving them all.

All of this is -hard-. So most places don't bother. Find a simple measure (say stock price or turnover or profit) and ignore sustainability etc.
Anything Android-based is going to fundamentally disappoint me, though de-Googled Android beats Google-infested. See criticisms above and in linked comments. That would argue against GrapheneOS.

PostmarketOS might be worth a look, thanks for reminding me about it.

Among the other problems Android presents is that it's very nearly totally owned the mobile-device market, save iOS and a very few niche products (e.g., the listed non-Android e-book readers above).

Otherwise in the small-device space there's RaPi and Arduino, and perhaps OpenWRT. Those obviously target different use-cases, but in terms of small/light systems are the principle options of which I'm aware. I'm also painfully aware that there are considerable UI/UX, power management, and security issues to consider for a mobile device, all the more so for anything that's aimed at a mass market. To an extent I can sympathize with some of the decisions Android's made, though that doesn't reduce my own frustration with it at all.

What I find curious about my own psychology and attitude toward the space is that the far more limited Palm devices (I'd owned a couple of PDAs as well as one of the Treo-line phones) didn't bother me to the same degree. Part of it was that these were such obviously limited devices, though they also seemed to be less afflicted by the advertising-and-surveillance disease.

Apple's iPads are so very nearly laptop-replacements but crippled in critical ways that it pains me. There's the Windows Surface (nice form-factor, pity about the OS), and a few other options.
> Instead of criticizing the very idea, maybe we could focus on improving the platform and establishing those foundational values you speak of.

Criticism is essential.

To paraphrase a wise person I know: sometimes the most beneficial thing we can do is not support ill-conceived projects. We can make our own assessment.
This misses the point which is two-part:

1) A lot of hash tables uses modulo to map a large range to a small range, and this is slow.

2) Fibonacci hashing is according to the author both faster and as a side effect happens to improve on bad inputs.

Yes, you should improve your hash function, but assuming the author is right you should still prefer this over integer modulo to reduce the size of the input hash value to the size of the hash table if you can as a default because it's faster, and the extra mixing is just a bonus.

Also, for library implementations where the implementer has no control over which hash function the user provides, being resistant to pathological inputs is good. Especially if you get it as a free side effect of a performance improvement.
I don't share this opinion personally, it would be only two times worse, it could be considered but at 50 to 100 times worse than non fossil tech, it's just not worth investing.

Additionally to these environmental problems, it's one of most expensive infrastructure-wise and suffers from its storage problems, the list of potential providers is also an issue in Europe as seen during the Ukraine war (and it's not like Qatar, Algeria or Azerbaijan are better than Russia)
I mean it's true that doing scientific psychiatry is hard, and a lot of the industry is subpar (and actually the majority do not really closely use psychiatric research results, forgetting how good they are or not). But what alternative exactly do you want? To just give up? There are some parts of psychiatry that have fairly well-validated conclusions at present, and hopefully that will (albeit likely slowly) progress.
Answers to questions often surprise or disappoint.

"Quite simple" is the same thing as "left as an exercise for the reader", i.e. when someone couldn't be bothered to do things right / didn't know how to do things right, but made it work by shuffling and other kinds of rearrangements before it sorta worked.

Maybe this language is simple to write if you know the rules. It won't be easy to read, ever, not even if this is the only language you have ever learned and practiced for decades.
The article is not about using Fibonacci hash to replace the hash function, but to replace integer modulo when remapping the hash value to smaller space.
That’s not the direction that burden of proof goes.
It's amazing how RTL-SDR has ushered a new era of accessible RF hacking.

After many years of playing with SDRs I've actually went the other way around and got licensed as a ham radio operator, even though it's obvious that the old school rag-chewing is soon to be a relic of the past.

I'm super interested to see what the next generation of RF hackers and ham radio operators will look like, given the ongoing consolidation of RF applications into software.
One-Way Crossover Confounds Intent-to-Treat Statistical Methods
Are you really asking someone how they would rephrase their statement so it expresses a different point of view?

Traditionally in an debate, it is your responsibility to convince the other side of your view. You can't just get the other side to make your argument for you.
So basically it's the same result (you need to manage updates yourself and test your changes) except that your modifications are now scattered around dozen of repositories instead of one, and what's the benefit of this added complexity compared to a patch? None that I can see?
Ask HN: Do most schools teach programming the wrong way?
I recently came around this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35758587

I found out that Waterloo CS uses How to Design Programs(HtDP) to teach programming. I have had the same realisation while working through HtDP.

I realised that I was taught programming all wrong. It was always about looping constructs or chunking out sphagetti code into functions in the wrong manner. No one taught me to think about data first and then in functions that the data should go through. Instead I was taught to head first start writing sphagetti code and then seek for repetition to build functions out of it.

I see popular schools using languages like Python or C as their introductory languages in CS departments where students have no background in computer architecture or electronics and teaching them in the first course to do bit manipulation and all low level memory stuff. The students get stuck in syntax and memory manipulation hell. When they come out of the course, very few of them can turn unclear problem descriptions into code until they are given "fill in the blanks" type of instructions. And no one teaches you to read documentation also. That is another biggest flaw.

Of course, systems programming is important. But not as a first course where you have no idea about the underlying electronics. The old school hackers did that because they were much close to the hardware and had idea about electronic circuits and design. Teach C or other low level stuff later on.

I see curriculums of top schools like MIT, CMU, Berkeley. Everyone is participating in the same wrong rat race. I don't know what kind of engineers they are producing.
I think there is also perfect pitch and Perfect Pitch. identifying which note is played is different from what is essentially a frequency inference.

The long term effect of such legislation, especially if replicated in other jurisdictions, is that OEMs will cease to manufacture LNG/LP appliances because of lack of demand.

If OEMs no longer sell LNG/LP appliances, vendors that make LNG/LP components (burners, orifices, combustion chambers, etc.) stop making them. Over time, appliances become unserviceable.

Then consumers must purchase electric appliances, even if they are not a viable option—because they are the only option.

You are correct; there is no cause for immediate concern for existing appliances and existing residences. But over time, only electric appliances (and parts) will be available for purchase, and that is precisely the intent.

Just as California emissions laws generally set the standard for automobiles that are available for purchase in the US, this legislation will have far reaching affects across the country.
Personally this only reinforces how JS should have never gotten proxies.
Adblocking is a problem created, in big part, by YouTube. I used to watch YouTube on the IPad app and I would get 5-10 second ads at the beginning of the video every now and then. That was ok but, at some point, I started getting two or three videos that I could not skip and then I got a Colgate ad that would appear everytime on and on and then I started getting the Colgate ads in the middle of the video... It all just became too much so I tried signing up for YouTube plus (or whatever it's called) but it was not available in my country. You know where this is going.
Continue neuroscience research; stop pretending psychologists and psychiatrists are more than cranks; admit the pills don't work. Basically quit pretending that this is a science. The problems are not biological that can be solved by pills, the problems lie in society, not individuals.

Not a great article (from a minerals and resources perspective).

Two specific factors; recent mine expansion at sites that dig in the dirt and produce concentrates _and_ recent and near future expansion of processing locations that take concentrates and refine to ship usable lithium.

Eg: Minesite in Western Australia currently ships concentrates to Malaysia and will soon ship also Texas.
"if lobbying was illegal with very harsh punishment"

I suppose you mean professional lobbying, with the purpose of influencing laws to make money?

Because when a environmental group tries to block some dirty mining project for example, than this is also lobbying. It is just people using influence. You cannot really make that illegal.

You can force the parties involved for transparency and punish bribery, but you cannot make it illegal for people to talk to politicians.

Even when it is done "professional". The problem in reality is, that when you look closely, in effect lots of lobbying is indeed bribery. (most of the indirect kind, like informal promising lucrative jobs after their terms are over, or giving overpaid talks). And that is and remains illegal.

Nah, this mess isn't intuitive to anyone. There also isn't anything like an agreed upon mathematical or logical notation. Everything in this field beyond the basics of algebra / set theory is awful one-off NIH languages with awful / inconsistent grammar that nobody beside the "inventor" can understand, while the inventor has perhaps a 50/50 chance of understanding their own writing.

The lack of requirement of mechanically verifiable proofs and adherence to common standards of expression of mathematical concepts is a huge drawback of what happens in this area of academia.

People who come up with languages like Haskell (which this one certainly is) are people who want the absurdity of languages created w/o system or any general design to spill over into the programming land. Solely based on the fact that they've been exposed to this cuneiform during their apprenticeship and learned to associate it with the actually valuable stuff it's meant to convey.
No, it's a means and not an end at all. The goal is to produce the best work you can do, but the fact that working people can turn it into a sustainable business greatly expands who can participate.

Someone with a Youtube channel with say 200k subscribers today can make about 2k-4k per month. At the inconvenience of a bunch of ads or sponsors people who could have never done creative work can do it full time now and actually be rewarded for their work.

Right? Like I had a batshit insane conversation about song lyrics the other night, where the chatbot repeatedly generated patently incorrect responses - close enough to seem reasonable, but utterly incorrect, mistakes that I can’t imagine a human making, just straight up false statements that didn’t hold up to the slightest scrutiny. Incredibly frustrating. Imagine having that kind of experience with a medical professional, when you’re sick and impatient to receive care. awful.
First Republic (FRC): JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America Asked for Bids
I'm giving up on this discussion. I see plenty of critique of Rails but they're obtuse statements that could apply to any app framework. Oh, rails causes devs to make a mess at scale? Huh, well let me introduce you to my friend React.

Unless you say something specific, then you're doing twitter-like pile on and nothing of substance is being added by your voice.

Here's my critique of rails that offers specifics.

There are parts of the framework that are automatically baked in but unknown and unused by the majority of projects. Message encryptor comes to mind. I'd prefer to choose a feature set, like a toggle config. Why should my company pay for objects to reside in memory that have never and will never be used?

Or how about the need to duplicate directory structure within M, V, and/or C? Kinda exhausting and boring. It doesn't take long until the question arises, why does it have to be that way? Oh, well, of course it doesn't. But if you're doing it "the rails way" where its convention over configuration then it should be done. Not to mention well known widely used rubygems rely on following the convention withing your own app. I'm not saying its bad, but its boilerplate the generators currently don't handle.

Aside from rails, I see alot more complexity added, not by rails or follwong rails convention, but by adhd bored devs that play social games, that are a weird mix of "I'm better than you" and "I'm tragically insecure of you finding out I'm not as so smart". I'll take a team of middling hard working devs over a 10xer on the spectrum any day.
We’re talking about different national cultures and their approach to food. Your personal preferences aren’t the most relevant.
I take it that the data currently in there for my city is 'demonstration' data. There is very low correspondence between the 'star rating' system (all 5s in every category for all landlords) and what the 'written review' is saying.

I've rented in many locales over a long time. How much power the landlords have is pretty much up to local statutes. Some cities make them give you a copy of the landlord-tenant laws. In some cities, for example, if they don't make timely repairs, they may be forced to pay for your move. If they 'visit' your place without 48 hours notice (except in emergency) they've broken the law.

Adding this tenant-impowering information to a site like this would make it much more valuable.
Amazing idea. Saved for later.
The main resource that you need in steady state is always electricity. For light, heat, pumps. And a lot of it, especially in winter time. The rest is mostly closed loop.

If you are preparing for Collapse, ensure you have multiple independent sources of electricity available. Solar, hydro, wind. If you are in a city you are better off with a storage room full of canned food since your hydroponic plants wont give you much food after power goes out.

Right, and how will they determine what a social media site is? People in power don't get it because they're mostly from the generation when the Internet hadn't yet taken over every aspect of civilization.

Trying to impose a ban is such a lazy and naive solution. Kids will find alternatives. There are thousands of options for kids to go online and interact with one another. My guess would be that video games would become the next social platforms, and then what, ban video games? ban multiplayer games? I'm not saying do nothing. There are plenty of potential and creative solutions. Maybe something like incentivizing companies to build a kid-friendly version of their apps, and advising parents on how to be aware of what they're using. Banning tech is usually not the answer in a world where tech is more and more part of everything.
