I agree with his characterization of relationship breakdowns. I think the scar tissue is a bit of a tortured analogy.

At some point you just have to let shit go if you don’t want it to build up. These little things are what Dan Savage calls the “price of admission.” It’s important to have good communication skills, to be able to talk through conflict, to be able to give someone space. But if after talking about how your partner loads the dishwasher three times and nothing has changed? Or the umpteenth big fight where things were mostly patched over bit there’s still some underlying pattern that you know is going to come up again? Now you know the price of admission. Is it worth it to you to pay that price to stay in relationship, or not?

The speaker confesses their perfectionist tendencies. People like this, myself included, cannot let go of anything. I’ve spent years learning how and it still takes a conscious effort, but it’s better. My zen teacher used to hand students a stick and tell them to let go of it. So many could not - it’s going to drop, messily, onto the floor! The stick might break! You can’t just let go of it like that, it needs to be put down gently, in its proper place, etc.

High achieving individuals, especially in a field like academia which heavily rewards certain narcissistic and neurodivergent traits, are just hard to deal with in relationship. I look around me at the few successful long-term relationships I see and one or both people are usually pretty subdued/chill in every aspect of their life. This is not the norm.
Thank you for the detailed reply, this is the first cogent answer I have read that explains why GPU solvers are not as widely used in SAT. The argument that we should focus on getting sequential solvers to run fast, then parallelizing that in hopes that it can be reused on each core does make sense, although I can't help but wonder if there isn't a smarter way to leverage parallelism than simply running CDCL in parallel on n-independent cores.

I guess if I were to summarize your argument, (current) solvers do not use GPUs because there are not many algorithms that can leverage the additional compute (and maybe there is some theoretical barrier?). On the other hand, the continuous optimization folks had neural networks for more than half a century before they figured out how to make them run fast, and were also ridiculed for pursing what was widely believed to be a dead-end. So I would be careful about falling for the "smart people tried really hard for a while" argument.
No, I mean:

On standard KVM, if you make a VM and give it /dev/vgname/fedora, inside you get /dev/vda as your main disk, and then you have this:

/dev/vda1: /boot/efi

/dev/vda2: /boot

/dev/vda3: LVM

What I want is this:

Host side -> VM side

/dev/vgname/fedora-boot -> /dev/vda

/dev/vgname/fedora-root -> /dev/vdb

/dev/vgname/fedora-swap -> /dev/vdc

LVM on the VM side is superfluous when you're the owner of everything.

This way I don't have to deal with the whole rigamarole of /dev/vgname/fedora having a partition table inside. I can just resize/snapshot/mount/fsck every partition from the host directly.

I just find it odd that this seems like an unusual configuration and that pretty much no distro seems to want to work this way.
I am rooting for Sonos. They paved the way for Wi-Fi speakers years ago and built some fantastic products. Their UX can be poor, but they’re getting better with each release. For instance, setting up the latest subwoofer product, the Sub Mini, uses a combination of Bluetooth, WiFi and NFC to make the process fast and easy.

A pro tip for making your life so much easier with Sonos: plug one of the speakers in to Ethernet and then the others will use the proprietary Sonos Net wireless protocol instead of WiFi. It’s apparently much more reliable.
Schools are a form of conscription. the Problem is most parents are in on it with the teachers to conscript the young ones, so home schooling is only offered rarely. Thankfully atleast the military draft is rare for majority of the world’s population.

I'd question could we not use more the powerful, well-cooled, cpu that we already have in our computers instead of pushing the ssd controller complexity and power ever further. What if we used something like UBIFS or F2FS and removed/simplified FTL?
Servo seemed like a great project for Firefox. Both in the near term, by merging parts of servo like the CSS engine, and in the long term by promising a much better rendering engine than anything else on the market.

But sadly good for Firefox doesn't mean good for Mozilla. Making a great browser isn't necessarily their highest priority.

See also QUERY, imho a better name than SEARCH which is semantically a GET but with a request body -- it's cacheable!

https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-httpbis-safe-meth...
This seems reasonable, but unlikely to happen. GET is already pretty much sufficient, especially given that clients generally support megabytes worth of query strings in these modern times. If we're doing this though, I'll cast my vote for naming it more semantically as QUERY, and forgoing whatever little WebDAV compatibility would be had otherwise.
Let me see..

You discredit the media. You discredit Wikipedia. You discredit the scientists. Then you make up some numbers to support your claim that people are being fooled by a powerful group working in the shadows.

It always boggles my mind how people on HN keep claiming that websites are slow because of JS when every 10th headline is about raytracing in WebGPU at 60fps or running LLM inference locally in the browser or similar.

Let me open your mind up to the possibility that no language can prevent unperformant applications being written in it and that the vast majority of web apps don't treat performance as their primary concern as long as it's good enough for their particular definition of "good enough".

If you are so motivated, creating high performant web apps is easy. The tooling to make improvements is among the best for all programming languages.

Nothing specific, but I've seen some big systems from the inside, and I know the kind of thing that leads to failures:

* Back in the 60s they got a big IBM computer to do some stuff. Then later on they needed to do other stuff. The old computer was too expensive and difficult to replace, so they got a new VAX or something to do the new stuff and talk to the old mainframe. Then some PCs got added to do more stuff, and so on. Today the back end consists of many different systems of different ages all talking to each other using different protocols that were designed against different requirements. Newer systems are forever being patched and updated to cope with new requirements, while the code for old requirements lurks waiting to be accidentally reactivated. Each of these systems has its own specialists for care and feeding, but nobody fully understands the whole thing. When something goes down there are not many people who can diagnose the fault and get it back up.

* Government contracts have lots of rules around them to ensure value for money and prevent corruption (see the UK COVID PPE fiasco for what happens when you try to cut these rules out). But the size and complexity make even bidding for a big contract very expensive and complicated, so it tends to be the preserve of a few big companies who chose to specialise in it. Their core competence is winning these contracts, not delivering on them later.

* These rules mean that everything has to be specified in detail up front, so that everybody knows what is supposed to happen. But this makes the whole thing horribly inflexible. As new requirements emerge from the woodwork there is a continuous process of renegotiation.

* The UK civil service is based around the "cult of the gifted amateur". Senior managers are rotated around departments every few years. So the person who kicks off a project is rarely the person who sees it through. Everybody gets to blame someone else for failure.

* When one of these big contractors fails to deliver, the Government has to chose between suing to get their money back (or some of it) in a few years, or getting the at least part of the system they actually need at a higher price. The government doesn't need the money, it needs the system. So the contractor gets to carry on regardless of failure.

* Humans are very bad at managing small risks with large consequences. Many big disaster stories have at their heart someone who decided that the risk was too small to be bothered with.

FWIW, the SO2 injection rate for climate engineering is about 1/10 of our current tropospheric injection rate from burning fossil fuels.

I bring it up to illustrate that we are already making consequential choices about the climate.
Not really an Apple fan, but their approach is usually not jumping on the bandwagon or hype train immediately, but then they do it right and functional especially with a proper integration in their ecosystem. It would be hilarious if AR/VR became a trend again with one release by Apple, yet Facebook spent billions for years and nothing really worked, it would probably show the difference between an actual tech company and another who’s only good at violating your privacy.

> Harvey is already producing legal documents with error rates lower than humans.

It is mostly useful and safer for human legal professionals and experts since they have the expertise to check the output but risky and unsafe for those who have little to no legal knowledge.

A user who is a non-legal expert could get into serious trouble if the AI hallucinates output that is contradictory or harms them legally more than it helps them or even both. That is the evergreen risk.

Either way, someone will have to check over the AI's output for that risk and that is for legal human professionals to do, hence why those with no legal experience still trust human lawyers to pay them to check these legal documents.
During COVID the government tried skipping those procurement rules in the interests of expediency. The result was a huge corruption scandal.
No one believes cloud seeding is a conspiracy, except maybe the people who believe in chemtrails, to whom the commonly understood definition of 'conspiracy theorist' clearly applies. Your comment isn't the slam dunk you think it is.
Except hard drives aren't celebrated for reliability. Or speed. Or low latency. Or durability (try knocking one). Or power and heat. Old cars you can at least make some arguments for... Hard drives as primary storage/boot, no.

Really they're good for bulk storage. And that's it. For use in primary compute they're really great if you want to slow everything down.
here in Europe I’ve seen QR codes used exactly like that in many new restaurants. In Berlin I can name at least a bunch of establishments that work like that.

This may be because I am French and we do not "reuse" pronouns (in the sense that "their" always refers to a group). I know however that "their" use in single form has a long history in English and I therefore try to use "their" like you most of the time when it helps to generalize.

We have new constructs in French such as iel (il + elle = he + she) which is used by some and by others not (and forbidden (or very strongly discouraged, I do not remember) in national education). I do not know if this is good or bad, it has the advantage to address males and females as a group (it is otherwise "he" or "hes" (plural of "he")).

I used to work in construction, and his story about the contractor he worked with was almost triggering. Those types of people were the absolute worst to work for.

IIRC you are correct, there are one or two spots in the Knuth division algorithm where having a power-of-2 dividend lets you eliminate a shift or an addition or something -- but nothing (nothing obvious, at least!) that yields a significant speedup.
ML is notable for its higher-order module system, which solves the same problems but is different than the type classes/protocols/traits of Haskell/Swift/Rust.
I've had problems with a bunch of places, so it's at least YMMV then. And I'd be wary of transferring an existing number in (as opposed to getting a new voip number and then setting it up).

I'm sure specific services are hit or miss - there really shouldn't be a problem sending SMS to whatever number a user enters, but paternalistic snake oil salesmen gonna be paternalistic.

I've had the least difficulty with Google Voice (I believe it's impossible to tell "Google Voice" usage from bona fide Fi usage where it's really the users' only phone number). Voip.ms has worked very little for me, to the point of that I don't even try it. Heck I even used a voip.ms number for some online classifieds, and another person using Comcast/Xfinity mobile couldn't text me. I'm not saying this as a slight against Voip.ms itself, from what I've gathered most voip providers will be treated similarly.

One of these days when I get around to it I plan on setting up a wireless modem on a $3/mo paygo plan for my SMS nag needs. With a script that automatically brings the number as close to my paste buffer as possible.

What single use SMS service do you use? I haven't really investigated those.

QUERY would be more compatible with WebDAV as the would be no confusion. The relevant compatibility is with middle boxes like proxy servers that mostly already forward SEARCH but would block QUERY.
Great summary, and this is also why a lot of people quit their dreams before they even began.

It's also why having great parents encourage this consistency at a young age is so powerful, it's not really innate talent anointed by the gods, but decades of consistency. We just see a 20 year old show up and be great at [skill] compared to their counterparts and then label them innately talented, but ignore the years of showing up. It's universally true, Celine Dion started singing when she was 5, Michael Jordan when he was 5. We aren't just talking carelessly singing or mindless games (although it might have felt that way to the child), but serious efforts: Celine for example was encouraged by family to sing at weddings at a young age. She came from a musical family so she was encouraged to compose, work on musical technique, etc. it wasn't random singing but already "professionally" training.

For some this is dreadful to hear, if they weren't doing some skill as a child their lives are over. However I would reframe that, it's quite optimistic. You can do what you dream of if you start right now and realize it's going to take years of showing up.

Human relationships are like complex systems. And some of the principles of antifragile design can also be applied if we look at it from a systemic lens.

The build up of small cracks over a period of time can lead to any system getting brittle and fragile over a period of time. That said, resolution or letting go are both viable techniques to make it anti-fragile. Sometimes we have to realize, all of us have some shit we come along with and it's never perfectly matched to someone else. And it would be mad if it were too!

Much like you make the best of life and the world around you think of making the best in the relationship by investing into the right things. Sometimes it's ok to let go - at other times it's necessary to draw boundaries and expect resolutions.

To keep a complex system running, we also need to keep working at it.
Yes, I have a colleague whose normal writing tone is confrontational. It’s something they’re aware of and work to remove during the editing process. ChatGPT has made this significantly easier for them:

1st draft

-> prompt “soften the language”

—-> review and revise output

———> prompt “soften again”

————> final draft

Enter more complex prompts or more iterations if you want editing for multiple things, e.g., prompt “suggest edits for clarity, brevity, grammar, and softer language”. You can iterate very quickly.
But the fact that the conspiracy is true or not is irrelevant.

The problem of the "conspiracy theory" is that it is a witch trial: a group of people have absolutely no proof what-so-ever, they just "want to believe they are right".

It does not matter if they end up being right, their logic is toxic for society, and if we are accepting their logic, then it means that tomorrow you can be fired from your job because your boss just had a dream in which you were a thief. Your argument is the same as saying "well, your boss says you are a thief, but thieves exist for real, and, who knows, maybe you are in fact really a thief, so it's fine".

The difference seems to be: more units for parallel calculation, but the speed of calculation in itself doesn't double anymore. In other words: Moore's law has stopped for raw speed and perhaps other areas, but is still alive in other areas. This has some weird consequences: Some models can't be processed in smaller chips (because swapping in parts is too slow to be useful), but after a threshold is crossed, suddenly the large models run efficiently.

Probably we will see usage of large AI models in smaller devices the next years because there's another way to optimize: use more efficient representations of the model weights. I think about posits, a different floating point system where even 6 bits are perhaps usable. When models can switch to 6 bit posits from f16 (half floats), hardware can load more than three times larger models. We will see whether hardware for this will be mass-produced.
