Glad this wasn't just me - but we were going mad for a couple hours there not understanding what was going on...

I still want to know what happened. It feels like a good excuse to get a new non-asus router barring any other explanation
> From there figure out what interests you. Wildlife, economics, vehicles, etc. or whatever, and then use your skill set to work on what field of your choosing.

Unfortunately the wildlife, economics and vehicle companies won’t hire
me because I’m not an established domain expert in wildlife, economics or vehicles.

To be a bit more concrete I’ve actually applied to jobs in some of the industries you’ve noted recently, particularly wildlife. I applied for a job that seemed pretty cut and dry: Doing mostly .NET CRUD work for an application supporting [wildlife domain]. It didn’t pay well but it genuinely seemed like a domain I would like and Delma technical view the job was a perfect match for my resume. The application had several binary yes/no questions I had to fill Out mostly along the lines of “Do you have experience in X”. For 90% of the questions my answer was yes. But there was one question basically asking “Do you have experience writing software for our hyper specific domain”. I suppose I could have lied and said yes, though that just meant I’d be rejected after wasting my time and the organization’s time, so I answered truthfully “no”. I was rejected not long later and while it’s impossible to know the exact reason I have my suspicions.
General Matrix Multiplication(on the GPU) Using WebGL2
I understood from a childhood book that the magic making Manhattan possible is that the tallest skyscrapers actually attach to a granite bedrock 30m below ground level.

Is this wrong (damn you "first encyclopaedia for children") or would that imply that somehow the granite bedrock itself is sinking?
Honest question, where does it get the energy and mass? Surely without solar energy, any root system will eventually die. Hell most of the plants that I try to grow suffer that fate despite plentiful sunlight.
GPT-4 Equipped with Numeric Calculation
Speaking to Mac usage specifically here.

I’ve used all three and went with Colima + Goland/Pycharm’s docker integration for the UI. Easy to install, integrations tend to just work without fiddling.

Podman is honestly overrated. Getting it integrated with other tooling is a pain and no it’s not as simple as renaming podman to docker. K8S side works pretty ok. I didn’t like podman desktop.

Docker Engine requires docker desktop on Mac so if you’re using one you’re using the other.
What is the argument in favor of these TLDs existing other than corruption/extortion?
if you account for population density, and maybe surrounding of education, one would expect these geniuses to spread out exponentially though
Have you tried glyphosate?
Yes, kinda. The transformer doesn't have a mechanism for dynamically adjusting its input size, so you need to strike a balance between the window being big enough for practical purposes but also small enough that you can still train the network.

Previous networks with RNNs could in theory receive inputs of arbitrary size, but in practice their performance decreased as the input got longer because they "forgot" the earlier input as they went on. The paper "Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate" solved the forgetting problem by, you guessed it, adding attention to the model.

Eventually people realized that attention was all you needed (ha!), removed the RNN, and here we are.

My problem with “Vite is good enough” and “Vitest is good enough” as a paired hypothesis is they are literally opposite in their target environments. It’s explicitly unsupported to use Vite to build projects specifically for Node as a target, and it’s explicitly unsupported to test in Vitest in browser environments (though I think that’s being actively addressed, but it’s still going to be a second class solution).
Regex if extended can go as far as Turing-complete

Meanwhile regular expression (the OG Regex) is just an NFA and should be easier to implement in circuit. The problem is an NFA circuit still needs exponential expansion (if minimized to DFA which is just power set of encoding and eliminating possible NFA states), and with Turing complete Regex you have halting problem -- both are hellish to solve unless P=NP
That should depend on population size. I can’t think of any geniuses 100 years after Imhotep. Galen is roughly a century after Heron. And in the 20th century, we had Einstein, Heisenberg, Curie, Lorenz, Planck, Schrödinger, and Feynman in physics alone.
I can't recommend the tp-link AX50 highly enough. It has been rock solid and stable now for probably around 4 years. I don't remember ever having to reset it.

I recommended it to my friends when they changed their routers over, and it fixed a lot of issues for them as well. The ones who regularly used VR reported that the stuttering issues they had on VR over WiFi with their Netgear WiFi 6 routers were solved.

Have owned both ASUS and Netgear in the past and the experience was terrible -- the high-end ASUS router regularly bricked itself during auto update. So I bought a more expensive ASUS router for around $600, and you guessed it, it did the same thing just less frequently. The NETGEAR routers never bricked themselves, but across the 3 models we've owned nearly all of them would lose most of their throughput (around 90%) on a daily basis and would need a daily reset to get proper ISP speeds again.

I had a Dream Machine Pro for around a year before I moved it to my office to run the network in the office. Funnily enough it has probably been less stable than the tp-link router, but nonetheless the UDM Pro is still a great piece of kit and probably the last router you'd ever need if it's in your budget and you have a place to put it (awkward form factor for home).

Re: Open WRT I ran this around 3 years ago on a D-Link router that I had, and the stability was unpredictable.. better than ASUS and NETGEAR but probably leaning on the side of poor compared to tp-link and UDM Pro. It would randomly get slow once per fortnight or so, and would need to be rebooted. Sometimes it would panic and completely lose internet connection. There are plugins designed to reboot the router as soon as a loss of connection is detected, but why is this even necessary? It's annoying too. Drops all your connections.

Sorry for long.
> that’s what people did for a while

Heck yes. Anyone else here remember twm fondly? “Tom’s Window Manager” It had some neat customizability I still miss. I used the sgi desktop too for years but I don’t miss it (didn’t hate it, I just don’t remember anything special about it.)
Googled this, and here's a quote from Yahoo:

> Misley’s suit directly references Tyler’s memoir, in which he recalled he “almost took a teen bride” and that the underage girl’s parents “signed a paper over for me to have custody, so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took her out of state. I took her on tour with me.”

I'm not a Tyler fan and know very little about his work other than the Aerosmith Collab with Run DMC, but I've always thought that song had very suspect lyrics, literally invoking the idea of sex with school girls.

There's so many failures of reasonable behavior to unpack here. I understand that times have changed, but I can't see how anybody ever thought any of this was OK. Even Walk This Way, it's very clear what the song is about. Don't care how catchy it may be.

I can only conclude that most people either don't really listen to the lyrics of something, or they can't actually process what they mean.
No, it is not difficult. It is way more than that. It is frustrating and depressing according to my experience attempting to modernize a FORTRAN 77 codebase (I gave up finally). Navigating through a quagmire of GOTO statements felt like a desperate endeavor. It's hard to fathom how someone could work on such a project for three years, especially if it appears to be a solo effort.

Upon examining the original FORTRAN code and accompanying papers, I realized that the complexity of the task was far from trivial. Working alone for three years, especially on such a complex codebase, requires a significant amount of dedication and perseverance.
I find that it's useful to have a "clean" score (urtext if possible), but also have the primary source available for cross-referencing if you want to really know what the composer penned. A study of the primary score is often useful in tandem with an edition.

Some composers had very neat handwriting!

> So any video that pans across a child can be forced off the internet at the will of the child?

No, at the will of the adult who was captured on video as a child, and only if the video was monetized. It's not absurd, this is a good law with only positive externalities.

>> you'll forget to turn off the switch

> Uh, if I don't see the screen fading in 30 seconds, I'll conclude I forgot.

I think that many cases of forgetting to switch it off would involve laying down the device and not looking at it. Say you get up to switch on a lamp or to get a snack, but get a phone call or get interrupted by your child. Even if you look at it a bit later and see the screen being off, I doubt you’ll always remember whether you flipped that switch?

There’s a reason smartphones automatically switch off the screen when idle.
Even the stripes in the new tiger-looking logo are the same as in ClickHouse. So bizarre - why are they pretending so much?
Apple would say that regardless of whether it's true, and there's no way to audit Apple to confirm it, so it provides no useful information. This is just a longer version of "Apple said to trust itself".
Jeffrey Schenk, an assistant U.S. attorney and lead prosecutor, said in court on Wednesday that Mr. Balwani should receive a longer sentence than Ms. Holmes because he oversaw Theranos’s lab, which endangered patients.

“Mr. Balwani had significant autonomy in running the lab. He made decisions that directly impacted the information that was communicated to patients,” Mr. Schenk said. The lab, he added, was the source of “some of the greatest harm.”]

If you own a car how much did the engine in the car cost you to buy?

Unless you've done an engine swap recently you probably can't answer that, because you bought the whole car, and the engine came with it.

I wanna see Max feature this on Tasting History.

Also I love how effusive the prose is describing these sandwiches - really reminds me of TV chefs nowadays. “First we’re going to start with the most beautiful fresh nice moist bread, then just - cut the crust off - there, leaving us with just the best parts for our sandwich. Next, smear it with the most delicious just - beautiful - egg yolks - and egg whites - just paint it - gorgeous - “
Ask HN: What TSDB database do you use on embedded Linux systems?
Hi,

I'm evaluating TSDB products for use on an embedded platform.

I tried TDengine but it doesn't appear to work on ARM and has some red flags in the way it's built.

I need to save a lot of telemetry (many simple values written every second or so) on the device and expose it using a web interface.

What products have you used for a similar task?
Curious to know if it’s more than just a representational problem. Are some languages harder in some deep way than others? And with what human consequences, let alone the LLM costs?
OK, what would help, in your view? What has definitely helped in the past, that we could reuse or emulate?

A jshell session can also work for that, but IntelliJ doesn’t add all your classes to the module path so jshell doesn’t usually know about them, which is a big oversight IMO.
Yes, I love bun for running typescript cli apps. 40x80 or some such is hardwired as the screen size though, and without raw mode, things like terminal window “controls” are broken.
Generally the participants train for these events and are in pretty good physical condition. One might imagine these events as analogous to a multi-day battery of difficult leetcode whiteboard interviews.
The link on that page for Anthony Kiedis (https://www.laweekly.com/can-you-be-a-feminist-and-still-lov...) mentioned him getting up mid-interview, on camera (complete with video), and trying to kiss the interviewer, despite her rejecting his advances. That's just one documented example. Whilst I don't know much about RHCP beyond their music, I'm amazed that they are still in the zeitgeist, let alone signed to a major record label. Extremely disappointing.

Most of these I knew about, but some I didn't. Yikes.

Without suckling on your mothers breast you would be dead. Without that 2nd grade teacher you would be dumb. Without the near infinite external inputs that have gone into each person they would not be the person they are, in the place they are. All that is before we get on to the role of plain old luck.

None of your achievements are entirely your own, we are all standing on the shoulders of giants.
Instead of dropping conspiracies one should ask for proof. The fact you couldn't name a single male CEO who had a similar level of Fraud should be proof enough the court system treated this fairly-ish compared to past levels of fraud.

This wasn't just product fraud. It wasn't just money lost. Non-investors had their lives ruined from wrong medical advice being given. People died as a result.

Yeah it bugs me too. I don't disagree with it, I'm not saying she shouldn't have been sent to prison, I'm not saying she should have had a lighter sentence, but it is strange that despite so few female tech founders, one of the first sent to prison was a woman.

Another narrative that might work is: it's hard to be a female founder, so only the most "bold" (in whatever way you want) get investment, and it was precisely this investment that ended up being the reason she is being punished. i.e. as a man it's easier to get investment so men don't have to resort to fraud. Maybe combine that with investors being more likely to be defrauded by a woman because they let their guard down more. I don't know. This narrative is too full of stereotypes and I'm not sure I like it, and I'm sure men have resorted to fraud to get investment, just maybe not as popular. Maybe also add that being a prominent female founder gave her more fame than the average guy in the same role, exacerbating the problem and potentially the punishment?
Oh, he's already backpedaled on doing this?

That still obfuscates the actual cost of things, which is the exact opposite of accounting, if you think about it.
Written down before or after initial construction aren't substantially different.

I don't have as much specific knowledge of kites in particular, but based on similar structures elsewhere they almost certainly weren't continuously used and maintained. They would likely be used for one or two seasons, then abandoned for potentially decades at a time as the migrations shifted. When herds eventually returned to the area, people would likely go out and do some restoration ahead of the herds. That would be things like re-excavating the pits, replacing any decayed brush/sticks in the terminal funnels, repairing pit walls, and so on. You can't skip parts or animals may escape and the structure may be covered in all manner of brush or sediment that makes identification difficult on the ground.

It's not necessary to have a plan for the kite, but it would still be pretty useful, especially if it's one that's rarely used so most of the people present might have never seen it.

Google should learn from Apple and their prior Gmail launch how the announcement should have a clear call to action. Else they created buzz that was not capitalized on.
This style of discourse is lame.

Balwani's story is quite amazing. The dude won startup lottery and made enough money that he wouldn't have to worry rest of the life. He had a mansions, sports cars and lived his life happily. One day this young women walks in his life and wants help with her startup. The dude throws away everything to make her startup success, burns midnight oil and torches ethics. He is much older and thinks he is in love. Only later to realize that the woman was simply using him and chewed him out as soon as his purpose was done. They became so adversarial in the end that they literally campaigned to have each other in prison.

Important Life Lesson for Everyone: If you made your money, do NOT fall in love (or, god forbid, marry without iron-clade prenup).
Many (though not enough) CEOs have been sent to prison. The industrial sector from which they originate is irrelevant.
I followed one of the solutions in the comments and removed /jffs/asd/chknvram20230516 and the issue seems to have gone away. CPU usage went from 70-90% back down to 5%.

There have been several CEOs who have been arrested for a wide range of crimes. Some of these CEOs led tech companies. Most of them are men.

There is literally another man who is in jail for the same crimes, and he got a sentence that is two years longer.

Gender discrimination and unbalance is undeniable, but in this case. I don't believe it is playing a large role, and I don't believe it is influencing in the direction that you believe it to be.
I wish I had put more benchmarks in the articles to show its application and how it performs. I had some interesting findings on the performance differences between CPU(unrolled, transposition before matmul etc), GPU and also simd code using WebAssembly.

It's a bit disappointing that OrbStack is not open source, but it works really well.

In my experience (co)lima was already an improvement over Docker Desktop in terms of reliability and background resource usage, but OrbStack is even more lightweight. I also do a bit of low-level networking development and Docker Desktop was rewriting some fields of the IP packets (besides NAT translation) which was annoying. It works seamlessly here.

It still has the same VM memory usage issue as other tools (Linux page cache taking more and more memory over time and not releasing it to the host), but they claim it will work correctly once a bug in Virtualization.framework is fixed: https://twitter.com/OrbStack/status/1645782250116505600

Perhaps PG is different but for the DB we use the ordering usually wins out over raw selectivity. Meaning it'll prefer an multi-column index that matches the ORDER BY even if it has a fair bit less selectivity.

Due to this we sometimes have to add multiple indexes with different permutations of the same columns.
Coincidentally, I finally got my Watchy set up today. Though the case is bulky enough that I might take it out and just use a NATO strap.
I don't have an ASUS router, but three things leap out at me: a string being logged over and over, running out of space on a filesystem, and rotated log files named something.1.

It is trivially easy to blow right past the size capping on systems that use the old "newsyslog" style of external logfile rotation from the 20th century, and something that is logging a short string "[chknvram_action] Invalid string" over and over very fast is exactly how to do this.

For those interested in investigation, therefore, I would suggest looking at logfile sizes, and seeing whether it was logs eating all of the free space on /jffs and /var .

The underlying cause would be whatever is logging "[chknvram_action] Invalid string" thousands of times over, but the mechanism would be log files filling the tmpfs that the article mentions, which would explain why the system had no memory for forking new processes.

My wild speculation about "[chknvram_action] Invalid string" is that something somewhere in whatever "chknvram" is, the name being suggestive of something checking non-volatile RAM, has either bad data or a broken parser, and the recovery semantics are to retry immediately, incessantly, as fast as possible.
