I purposely chose to keep my own family folklore off the internet. I'm not -that- old, but perhaps about a generation behind in the times. My dad always called refrigerators 'iceboxes', and lunch dinner.

He had a ton of really odd to me sayings. At times I found myself saying them now as a Dad. As a late teen I tried to Google some, to little effect. I remember "Dewey button" as one. But there were -countless- others.

We have a family sword, civil war era, and a story behind it, but neither the name nor the story return any results other than that the person engraved on it existed. Probably.

The beauty of it became rather profound to me. It was maybe the first time I realized the internet doesn't know everything. And by that I mean it knew very little in the grand scheme of things. It's something that seemed to exist completely outside of culture or the internet in general. I hope my children will feel the same.
Many traffic jams occur for no other reason than human behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qy6MrDcukk

Autopilots immediately get rid of that so I would disagree and argue the less humans the better. Have fun playing around with the "politeness" lever for example:

> There was some speculation that because they shift gears manually, they have to pay more attention to the road and can't do things like drink coffees while driving.

I don't think its the gears, Its a combination of education. You have to pass a reasonably intense exam that requires coaching and also pass written test (unless you're Belgium, although that might have changed)

Moreover road laws tend to be much more strictly enforced. And not just parking laws.
Disable memory overclock or undervolt the memory and SoC. You will see the power drop down like crazy.
Tesla FSD is useless though, because you need to constantly monitor the system for it to do something stupid (which it more or less regularly does).

With a level 3 system like the one from mercedes you can check your phone or do anything else and only have to react when it tells you to take control again.
It's just one position, not an average. There are other positions with the same title with higher salaries. Quantitative Research can be anything, basically just an Excel inputer could be called that.

I think salary expectations on HN, in tech and in the US are a bit off. Do you really believe someone crunching numbers is worth USD 600000 per year?

> That's a misreading of the paper and a misrepresentation of the position that Singer holds

It's not. However, utilitarians are inevitably compelled to argue that it is, because their efficacy depends on it. This amounts to gaslighting about plainly obvious positions they have committed to paper, which is an act of violence in and of itself.

> While it may seem that utilitarians should engage in norm-breaking instrumental harm, a closer analysis reveals that it often carries large costs. It would lead to people taking precautions to safeguard against these kinds of harms, which would be costly for society. And it could harm utilitarians’ reputation, 33 which in turn could impair their ability to do good.

Your link proposes a number of contingent reasons for utilitarians to not act like defect bots. It does not bite the bullet on cases where defection is clearly optimal, and those cases are plentiful. This is cheap and disingenuous rhetoric. His paper's very clear implication is that killing the patient is valid move if perfect secrecy can be ensured; so strategic arguments about reputation are irrelevant. Most importantly, this ethos breaks down in non-iterated games, e.g. if Utilitarians do build their God AI to subjugate the world and remake according to their moral code, as many in the rationalist community now intend to do.

> We have a proof of concept in the effective altruism community, which does collaborate relatively well.

Again, EA does very well on processing SBF's loot into anti-AI propaganda and funding for "AI safety" labs, but that's still a defection against broader society.
> Instead we have suburban hellscapes where kids can’t be kids and there’s no real community.

I'm not American, but from my perspective that's just an easy target, and the real problem is here:

https://reason.com/2014/08/19/august-2014-reason-rupe-nation...

The title itself isn't particularly shocking - it's the 43% of Americans who are of the opinion that the law should require 12 year olds to be supervised while playing in public parks is, to me, the absolutely bonkers part here.

Not saying suburban sprawl is a good thing - personally I find this sort of zoning silly. It's just that this isn't the problem you want to focus on if you want kids to be kids.
I have a significantly above average memory (read a book remember what was in it, not exactly but close), and I was told that Dermatology was the field I should pursue. Apparently it involves thousands of similar but slightly different diseases that, if you could remember them all perfectly, would make your life as a dermatologist an absolute cakewalk.

I'm a programmer instead. School sucks when people don't understand why you don't need to study, and try to make you do it anyway. I remember essentially every line of code I've ever worked on, though, which can be an asset or a challenge depending - JScript version five is still knocking around in my brain somewhere, confusing my usage of modern Javascript.
Your link seems to compare GNU gzip with zstd. When comparing file formats, I would compare the best software for that file format. igzip: https://github.com/intel/isa-l can decompress consistently faster than GNU gzip. Depending on the file, it decompresses 2-3x faster making it almost as fast as zstd decompression. I have less experience with compression benchmarks. A quick benchmark on Silesia shows igzip to be ~7x faster but it sacrifices 10% of compression ratio for that even on its highest compression setting. It seems to be optimized for speed.
I don't think there is anything wrong with blocking ad blockers, backlash is just cause people feel entitled to consume content for free without paying their fair share to creators be it adsense or premium account share.
I was really shocked in italy by the standard of driving. I was fully expecting full on car honking road rage in cities and uber fast driving on the motorways/highways.

Florence was incredibly calm, respectful and considerate driving. The Motorways everyone was doing just under the speed limit.

My italian friends said that its not the case in the north.
Αιτιολογία and Αιτιολογώ are a noun and a verb derived from αίτιo (αίτια for plural) and λογος, which roughly speaking mean a [set] of identified cause(s) and “reason” respectively.

So this is purely causal without imposing the person’s subjective judgement onto the action or event; simply expressing that given the circumstances, it makes sense that the events occurred, whether the person was right or justified in acting as they did is a different story. So given the events I can reason why the action occurred.

For δικαιολογία / δικαιολογώ, the words are derived from δίκαιο and λόγος again; the former meaning the person is in the right, or is morally correct from the perspective of the person expressing it. Thus, justifying is closer to δικαιολογώ.

For an example; chores are boring, so I didn’t do them even though I promised I would. You can reason why I didn’t do them but you can’t claim I was justified in not doing them. I promised I would and breaking promises is generally immoral without s good justification or a reason.

They state that for a typical user they expect an API cost of about $1 per user per month. Seeing that narwhal has a $6 per user per month plan, expecting 1/6 to go to the largest cost component doesn’t seem unfair.
> What do we want from self driving cars?

I want a car that will drive the hours of boring ride on the Autobahn. It should take over once I am on the Autobahn, then drive by itself while I am sleeping/working/playing, and then drive to a special "cool-down" parking lot, where it will take a few minutes mandatory break to make sure the driver has time to wake up. From there I will take over again.
I think the argument you want to make is not about Reddit's costs (which are low), but rather that should be charging some fraction of their lost revenue per-user for API use, since API users don't see ads. (Or else require app developers to show Reddit's own ads.) The issue is presumably that Reddit isn't profitable, and free app users are a major source of lost revenue (in addition to being a fairly small cost due to API use).
Worse than Python? It's a question; I don't know. I do know that the two most terrible (for me; I like types and a working IDE that helps me, not fight me) languages (js/py) are also the most popular. I don't know what that means, but as I did build large systems with Erlang in the past (in banking) which are still running production with massive load (and don't fall down in 2 weeks because the ENTIRE ecosystem had a minor version update, invalidating all the ABI's), I cannot imagine it's worse than Python or JS.

I hope you can tell me.
My last weekend Project in Elixir is roughly 3 yrs ago now, but from what I recall the system was leagues better then pythons optional typing. It's just bad if you're used to languages that have been built around types from the start.
I just realized all the threats of going private are a bit moot because guess who controls the database where this flag is set?

Steve Huffman has proven to be a huge liability for reddit time and time again, outdoing himself with his recent behavior. I don't understand how anyone could think about investing into this company at all.

What is the platform even worth if it is riddled with bots like Twitter? Who are companies even advertising towards? Hey backend server "207fef50-b354-4c85-8865-f56f8313cd2c" look at these new electric BBQ offers!

I this it's just ZFS that has that "limitation", LVM and Btrfs just let you mix drives of arbitrary sizes.
Excellent idea, but I'm conflicted about using it. I see the sensationalism as additional information about a video, and I do use it when choosing to avoid one, or even to ban the whole channel from the suggestions.
Its the end of an era. It doesn't matter if reddit survives this (which it will obviously do) and goes on to a lucrative IPO and milking the unwashed masses for a few more years.

Because of the moderators reddit felt like a more human place, a least bad option.

For anybody with two firing neurons it is clear now that these centralized ad-driven platforms are where humanity's conversation goes to get annihilated.

The new thing will be the fediverse. Its still unclear how it will get funded etc. It may well be that parts of it will have the same or similar pathologies. But it wont be all of it.
Many years ago I was studying deep learning using this resource:

* http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/

I decided to try to implement everything from scratch in Elixir (after initially doing all the math with pen and paper on a trivial example to get the feel of it). Obviously pure elixir was extremely slow, so I started creating NIFs to pass over matrix multiplication to OpenBLAS. Then I was thinking more and more of what things I can pass to C code and just have Elixir as a "frontend" for it. My enthusiasm died down when I realised I was simply implementing things in C with the pretext of "doing elixir", a nice learning experience but I could see I was not doing the things that initially got me pumped up.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the discovery part of it, reading research and trying to understand so I can implement the different new (at the time) deep learning techniques, like convolutions, LSTM, and the different nuances of it. I think it gave me a better understanding of how things work and why it works. But it deviated from the initial scope and I lost interest once the learning phase was over and I knew I could simply use tensorflow or pytoorch as I did not actually need the advantages BEAM offers for this type of workload.

Code is still available here:

I think a lot of the comments where people casually dismiss salaries in the hundreds of thousands a year as too low are just attempts at flexing.
Where does intervention come from? Theoretically the government regulates commons and so the government should intervene and regulate commons when the public good requires it.

Why can't the government intervene? Because these companies have gotten so large they have literally hundreds of millions of dollars to spend preventing intervention.
I agree sort of with this sentiment, but it ultimately doesn't matter even if it is that china is covering up their bioweapon accident just like anyone might. We'll never know, and we don't need that to hold them accountable for many many many other wrongs, and we don't need it to start working to prevent the next pandemic either.

What cost are founders willing to pay for this vision of their employee-employer relations?

Fundamentally that's what it comes down to. Maybe the 10% sackings in the FAANG was the reset to force costs of labour down, and it worked, or maybe knowledge worker unions will happen at scale and founders will have to accept what to them looks like a tractable cost containment is in fact unavoidable: if you need specific skills then expect to pay net present value for them.

I increasingly like to see founders as parasites, not creative geniuses. Theranos wasn't unusual, what was unusual was believing medical tech was the thing to play in.

I wish we had more people like the ones we had in Xerox Park, Bell labs, and IBM's labs.

Get rich quick IPO nonsense is ruining tech.

It introduces a precedent for content manipulation for personal gain that cannot really be prevented though. Who says that Steve Huffman won't alter content of any entity posting on reddit? Politicians can do AMAs and post responses, then Huffman comes along to sneak-edit one or two words to make them look bad without any external user being able to prove manipulation - it could just be a user edit after all.
I agree - takes almost 3 times as long than with an ICE.

It might be interesting to people that if you buy early enough the prices get stupidly cheap. I bought a ticket in march for May and the ticket for a Nuremberg - Frankfurt ICE would have only cost me 12,90EUR. I splurged for 1st class (instead of just seat reservation) at 22,90EUR.

So if you say visit Germany by plane you are probably booking that early as well - do yourself a favor and just book a couple of train trips early as well. That way you can save on car rental for a couple of days. The website to buy train tickets at is bahn.de
Are people still going to try to blame office lease agreements for management wanting workers back in the office?

When are remote workers going to start blaming themselves? Clearly, companies big and small are recalling their workers back to their office. Clearly, they have data showing that their productivity metrics have declined. Tech management are usually very data-driven compared to other industries. So if they're recalling workers, then they must see something.

The simplest explanation is that remote/hybrid culture is less productive on some metric - whether it's total company output or less creativity or whatever it is. So while an individual remote worker might perceive himself or herself as being more productive, they often do not think at the level of the total company output.

And no, they aren't going to come out and explicitly say that their WFH workers are lazier and less productive. That's just bad PR. But you can infer what management is seeing from their actions.
Thank goodness this Koch-funded, anti-democratic, climate change denying lobby group has finally realised what the real problem with American politics is.

Tape is $5 per TB at retail and you can safely store data on it for at least 10 years, after which you may need to make a new copy not due to the risk of aging, but due to the risk of no longer finding new tape drives compatible with the tape format.

Your price of $10/TB might apply when HDDs are purchased in bulk, because at retail I see prices between $15/TB and $20/TB.

No HDD may be trusted to store data for more than 5 years and this duration is valid only for the more expensive models.

Assuming your price of $10/TB, one must buy at least a double HDD capacity than tape capacity, due to the short lifetime, so tape is at least 4 times cheaper. At the prices that I see at retail the difference is even greater.

The sequential transfer speed of tape is greater than that of HDDs, so archiving or retrieving many GB of data takes less time with tapes.

HDDs wear out and malfunction more frequently than tapes.

The only real disadvantage of tapes is the high cost of the tape drives, which makes tapes preferable only when more than 100 or 200 TB of data have to be stored.
From my view web 2.0 didn't have JS apps, jQuery/prototype/JS offered some interactivity but sites were still typically generated server side and delivered as renderable HTML/CSS rather than built on the fly by JS client side.

This part stood out to me:

> So it wasn’t quinine water in a Texas laboratory, or rice in Hunan, that made me think recently of Giffen goods. It was the alarming rise in the price of a cheese salad sandwich. The latest data from the UK show that sliced white bread has risen in price by 29 per cent over the past 12 months, with tomatoes up 16 per cent, butter up 30 per cent, cheddar cheese up 42 per cent and cucumber 55 per cent more expensive. (Headline inflation, meanwhile, is just over 10 per cent.)
I agree, driving in the US (only went to Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia) is more relaxed than in Germany and driving is less aggressive (yeah, there is the occasional nutjob in Atlanta). I like the four-way stops in the US, which forces people to communicate with each other.
An "Actionable" list can be a short list, but a "Worth remembering" list can be very very long. Containing those things that only come to mind a couple of times a year, but when one does, it's like "Dang, I keep forgetting that".

Yes, there are a some things that will push towards higher traffic, including induced demand as it becomes cheaper and easier to move around. This would need to be offset by ride-sharing (and perhaps to some extend by the reduced demand for parking, though I don't think this can really increase throughput much). Like I said, I think ride-sharing, especially with higher capacity vehicles, can offset this significantly, but it may require regulatory pressure to get everyone to play ball on it.
Big disks present a problem in the cloud provider environment: users typically want to partition them into smaller logical disks... but this means that larger disks must also have lower latency / higher bandwidth to service multiple users at the same time.

Most likely, cloud vendors have a large choice of sizes to try to match requested sizes of logical disks to physical disks, but if most users don't want / need disks that are this big (or bigger), then the provider will have a problem.
As a datapoint, numpy also chooses between radix and timsort based on data type. From the docs [^0]:

> ‘stable’ automatically chooses the best stable sorting algorithm for the data type being sorted. It, along with ‘mergesort’ is currently mapped to timsort or radix sort depending on the data type. API forward compatibility currently limits the ability to select the implementation and it is hardwired for the different data types.

I think that is a simple view of regulation.

"You must do this" style regulation like GDPR does raise barriers of entry.

"You can't do this," style regulation like trust busting doesn't seem like it would involve raising barriers to entry. It seems like it would lower them.
Wow, what a brutal review. I had to read the first paragraph several times to let the brutality fully sink in. I was hoping that it would get better, that the author would bring some positivity to the book, but that hope was in vain.

In my experience it can only take into account files you have open.

So if you need it to call a function in another file that hasn’t been called in the current file, you’d have to go open the other file in a new tab then go back to the original and finally get the correct completion

IMO the internet post-2010ish is inferior to the one before in theory. Early creators were thoughtful, they created protocols foreseeing a lot of these problems. I'm not sure what's gonna happen next but the parallel universe I'd like to be in is that the internet in the last 15 so years were anomalies or a curve that raises quickly then dies off.

Just the syntax really. I work primarily with Go TS Dart. I just never liked the ruby/py syntax with def and lack of type safety.

I just stick to Go for all my backend needs. It does everything elixir is capable of and provides more than just raw IO handling without blowing up memory or struggling with computations. Never got into ruby either the syntax just makes me lose interest.
