Shipping stuff is one of the most important skills to learn in the early days of a career, FAANG is a good place for that. I worked with people, and orgs, who learned to ship and those who didn't. The latter are at best a pain to work with, at worst a net negative for whatever work is being done.
How does it achieve this frame rate? I thought teletext would cycle through the pages 100 to 899, sending one per frame? I guess the pages themselves are numbered and this only sends page 100 on every frame?

Regarding not being able to "run" doom in teletext: I guess you could create a "game book" style experience with the 800 pages and use the colored buttons on the remote for "turn left", "turn right", "forward", "shoot/interact"; IIRC those were shortcuts for some relative page numbers on the current page.
To me being sceptical of COVID vaccine is entirely reasonable. Looking back at how we evaluated vaccines before it should make it clear that something went wrong.

And when those pushing for it can not even have honest discussion of effectiveness like does it prevent spread or just worst cases? The first one has long been standard for vaccines, but this one was later. And then it seems even vaccinated did get the disease, so why did we use the vaccine status as metric, instead well more effective and certain testing?
> There is a whole industry around the import of US cars that are not directly sold in the EU

Same in France. The requirement when buying a foreign car is that it must get vetted by the DRIRE (ex Mines), which might be easy (e.g a EU car typically already has a registered entry because vehicles are extremely similar to identical) or hard (e.g US cars being subject to different regulations), but if one vehicle of a specific type went through the process it now has an entry as well and it's a matter of checking that the ingress vehicle matches the previous entry, fast tracking the process. IIRC there are provisions for historical cars (véhicules de collection, i.e > 30yo) that are allowed to not be compliant with current regulations as long as they're stock (except for some bits, e.g IIRC tyres must be upgraded to radial tyres to be road-worthy). Still lengthy and costly.

(caveat: it's been a long time since I got interested in the process, things may have changed)
The Highway Code in the UK is full of “must” and “should” indicating firm requirements and optional choices. The use of “should” is a softer method of persuasion, in the same way signs say “Please close the door” not just “Close the door” which is an instruction. This aligns with the famous British politeness - or at least that is how I interpret the wording.
It doesn't have to be as verbose and cryptic as intrinsics; wrapper functions can help a lot :)

Well, they aren't actually compiler extensions but pre processor extensions (PPX).

And I would really like if OCaml would have had the possibility to add the needed PPXs names to the source file (like Haskell's compiler extensions). So as to not have to read the Dune (or whatever build system is used) file to get to know where `foo%bar` or `[@@foo]` is coming from and what is doing. But at least the usage of `ppxlib` nowadays should make PPXs "compose" aka. not stamping on each other's feet.

FWIW, that’s some decent introspection and a frank post.
I think it really depends.
E.g. from the Western perspective, only US, UK, France, Russia and China have signed the treaty from nuclear countries.

India or Pakistan are not part of the treaties and for some reason, we don't see big problems.

There is only China left who might leave the treaty in the first place, anymore.
And we are so dependent of the China, that there is no guarantee for consequences. Should we treat China then equally than India? What that means?

Also, leaving the treaty does not mean that countries start massively increasing their arsenal. There will be just a lack of inspections and information exchange.
I am defining it on the points I mentioned. I don't know if they are in the wrong or not, but their responses give me pause
You're not really supposed to write AVX yourself - the compiler should be doing that for you. And it will, if you write your code in a SIMD-compatible way and turn on the right compiler flags.

I do agree that it is the wrong level of abstraction. Explicitly stating the SIMD width leads to a compatibility nightmare. RISC-V vector instructions instead use an explicit "vector width" register, which pretty much entirely solves this problem.

Ask HN: Is “ignore constant” in complexity theory a scam?
In quantum system, the problem size grow by the exponential of 2. If the algorithm requires N qubits, the cost is O(2^N).

Say you invented a new algorithm. Required qubit is now N -> (N-3) [1]. By the 2^N rule, we see that this is equivalent to 2^3 = 8 times faster. O(0.125 2^N). This is the kind of major breakthrough in the field.

Often I reimplement someone else' code and got 20X~50X speed up. The speed is equivalent to lowering qubit requirement by 5.

But complexity theory tell us this speed up doesn't matter since constant term is ignored.

I don’t know why but many people try really hard to make things far more complicated in JS than they need to be with getters/setters, class privacy, over use of this, and so on. You can really accomplish about 98% of everything you will ever need with just functions, events, and data structures. Not only does this eliminate a bunch of complexity but your application will almost certainly execute much faster as well.

Secondly, tree structures scare the shit out of most people. I am not sure why but most people will gladly perform 10x more work than navigate tree structures directly. Examples of tree structures are the file system, the DOM, process trees.

In many times I have seen developers brag about all their experience only to make a bunch of bad decisions out of emotional fear, a self-inflicted harm. That said I don’t find web tech challenging but for many people there is a great unnecessary self-inflicted challenge.

In my interpretation at least, I don't think anyone would have a problem if JeanHeyd had never been offered a keynote spot.

The problem is offering, and then taking it away -- doing that should only be done for the most serious reasons (as it's a clear strong snub to take such a thing away once it's been announced, people start planning their talk, pay for things, etc).

> But I don't get why they would degrade quality?

There are two likely reasons: efficiency and "alignment".

To make models more efficient, you have to reduce computation burden. This can be accomplished via quantization and pruning, both of which will reduce computation at the expense of perplexity.

Alignment (censoring by another name) also reduces perplexity as we attempt to coerce a model from its ground state into some more socially acceptable version.
Since you've already started with the epithets: judging emergency situations from behind a keyboard is typical idiot behavior.

Yes, he is "scared", because Micay comes out of the blue to accuse him of supporting "murder attempts" against his person, and to "publicly expose Louis" for all the wrong he has allegedly done to him (Micay).

At the cost of using a very simplistic analogy, if the cook at the restaurant I eat daily keeps threatening retribution for unfounded reason, I will make sure to not only stop eating there, but make others know the situation in case something happens to me.
It's an equivalent to not distributing the necessary DLLs in Windows, which is something that I've definitely seen happening before as well.
> At the end of the video, you can see that he drives "off road" off the trail without any problems.

"off road" at the end is like 5cm deep powder on top of compact snow, which has been exposed to sunlight. The snow at the beginning, where he could have tried to turn around, is completely powder because it's sheltered by trees and looks to be more like 60+cm deep. His turn radius also would have likely led him into a tree: https://imgur.com/a/bDLV2lL. Then he would need to get away from a potentially charging moose, which can top out at 56km/h. You wouldn't be able to go that fast on this narrow and winding of a trail -> the moose will catch him if it charges.

> If that were so, don't you think that person has feet? Or is the amount of snow too much for him to walk as well?

If you expect someone to get in a footrace with a charging moose in any conditions, let alone 30-40+cm deep snow, I don't know what to say.

Some nuance:

If Google gobble up data about EU citizens then they fall under GDPR.

I think in each of the cases you've described I would probably fall on the same side as you. The PyCon example I thought was particularly egregious because it could so easily have been myself making silly jokes about dongles. There's no way anyone should have lost their job over that, so actually, while the person who went public was in the wrong, the main fault must lie with the companies who can't take a step back and give their employees any room or compassion at all.

This particular little drama is a bit more nuanced I think. First, the company behind the speaker involved is actually being supportive. Secondly the original post from the speaker wasn't terribly hand wavy or anything, but pretty measured "I didn't put forward a talk, they asked me, and then later pulled it without discussing the issue with me".
>What reasons are there to announce that one knows who should've resigned, in an announcement that refuses to identify them? Is it legal? Fear of retribution? Some internal Rust community process?

Definitely can't be intercepted if you completely go around the interceptors—launching north, going around the world once, and hitting North America from the south. That's the fractional-orbit [0] concept the parent comment alludes to.

If North Korea were to attack the US in the most cost-effective way – crossing the Pacific east – there's GMD interceptors in Alaska that could try to hit them in space, several thousand km's above the ocean. It's unclear how well those work. The *public* version of the story is that they have about a 60% success rate, against simple targets without countermeasures; and that they intend to fire four interceptors against each incoming warhead to boost this probability [1].

JMAP is great but is not nearly enough. it would still need some improvements... on the protocols and on the available servers. I experienced slowdowns with Cyrus (which is the most advanced implementation I believe) on complex requests.

Also, the great idea behind JMAP is to chain requests so a series of tasks is performed on the server and the client then get the end result. This works great for the majority of cases but the replacement syntax (to replace results from a previous request in a following request) is not powerful enough in some cases (when trying to reuse complex responses in follow-up requests)

The other issue is that there is no way to easily groups e-mails from a given contact. There are JMAP extensions for CardDAV and CalDAV that can be of some use but it's difficult to bridge them with the Email spec and get all e-mails from a given contact for instance.

Last, it lacks editing features like appending a custom header to existing e-mails. The fact that JMAP abstract away all of the MIME format is great, but makes it difficult to just add a single header to an email.

Please compare the topics of her papers with the topics of her videos, especially with those that stir the controversy. There are papers on these topics, but from what I see, at least 5 years old. But my point was not that the she doesn't write papers -- she is doing more, which is the problem, and the "more" is not only outreach (which is a good thing), but feels to me like polemic arguments against people in the field who are not of her opinion.

In this thread, I did at no point compare her to any other blogger. Please do not read this an endorsement of these others. I singled her out only in the sense that she was the topic of the thread. There are certainly worse people in the world.

I am a Kagi user, but Brave Search is my fallback.

I haven't used Google in 3 years I reckon, except when iOS forces me there when I look up a term. In fact, I try it every blue moon and I am surprised how bad it has become. Most of the results are spam, there's ads, and useless stuff mixed in. Let alone the rudeness to completely disregard my search terms because it bloody knows better, and tries to interpret my instructions. Alternative search engines improved in the past couple years, but Google Search has turned to shit, making any competition look better as a result.

Hopefully the Kagi team integrates this API together with their use of Google and Bing. Brave has an independent index, and my dislike of Microsoft and Google is so great these days I want to see someone take them down a notch or two.

Ten+ years later I had to use Jira in another company and now it's all like expanding panels, sidebars, constantly navigating to different views. I couldnt get a simple straightforward list of issues, or I could only see things assigned to me as opposed to see the progress of the team in a straightforward table...
