I am very curious but my search-fu has failed me. What was the requirement? Is there a link or jargon file or something I could read? I love this kind of stuff.

Thanks!
Thats not true, the site is full of passionate, experienced users in all different interests and areas. I dont know what you've been looking at but it hasnt been my experience at all. You get a really good consensus on whats good, whats bad, where to start with so many different things. Its essentially an add on for google search now if you want good quality opinions.
I can't comment on laws, but I can comment on sleep hygiene. If you are dealing with revenge bedtime procrastination (it's a term) or a non-24 hour circadian rhythm, the later you have to wake up, the later you will go to sleep.

Many people are dealing with things like that. I would regularly see my co-workers online at 2 - 3 am when our core hours were 10 am - 5 pm. My company recently changed core hrs to 12 pm - 2 pm, and unsurprisingly, I see the same co-workers up at 5 am. I would expect to see people online throughout the night if we shifted core hours to 3 pm - 5 pm, even if that schedule perfectly accommodates typical working times.

N = 4 or 5, but I don't think delaying school times will solve much. Going to bed earlier can solve it, though it's difficult for people with RBP or unusual circadian rhythms. But keeping a regular schedule and getting 9+ hours of sleep becomes possible for many after a few weeks of sticking with a good sleep hygiene.
There is no such thing as "outside of the universe".

If you disagree, please show me the consistent model on which your scenario is based.

Not Surprised and was actually something I pointed out on Anandtech in 2016 ( Time Flies ).

I think the reality is that Apple decided we have finally reach the stage of CPU centric computing scaling and are basically moving to heterogeneous computing. Something AMD have been pushing for since 2013/2014. More NPU / GPU instead of more CPU. For Pro Apps if you want to enjoy what Apple has to offer, you have to start thinking about moving certain things to GPU and NPU instead.

Not saying I am 100% on board with this since there are plenty of workload which requires brute force CPU power, especially in what WAS suppose to the Mac Pro Market. In some ways in seems Apple has sort of given up the market.

Edit: Turns out there are similar article on this

This seems (to me at least) like it would be an unpopular move. However, I wonder if this is one of those situations where HN is an opinionated echo chamber, and where the average person would be totally okay with this
I’ll echo this sentiment. While it may take a while to figure out how to do something initially, the great thing about NixOS is that you only have to figure out how to do it exactly once. As far as my main desktop OS, I figured out a config that I liked several years ago, and haven’t really tweaked much since then. I ran the rolling release for a while, but I’ve moved back to the stable release, which is… well, stable.
This is exactly my question. My GP post is not a rhetorical point, but a genuine question.
HN readers appear to overall be very hostile to NHI (non-human intelligence, the new curious buzzword) once it has gotten this real.

My guess is the concept is deeply psychologically disturbing to a significant percentage of the population when faced with it as a reality instead of scifi.
That kind of shit is poison. It's like there's a weakness in community run stuff that allows people to come in and co-opt it for their own agenda. I don't know that this is a corporate issue, it's an issue of people not pushing back because they don't want to get accused of anything and letting special interests walk all over them. It's happening everywhere. But I agree, no point on dealing with people who spend their time on this garbage.

I hope the Flipper Zero will be a wake up call to make things secure.

Otherwise, it could lead to tech not being trustworthy, or Flipper Zeros and anything like it getting banned.

It really seems like there are so many threats to technological society right now and not many people trying to defend it and make sure that in 50 years we still have access to the internet for most people and sensors monitoring our water supply.
That’s true, some things actually cause us to learn falsehoods and spend indefinite amounts of time down the mistaken rabbit hole.

Just wanna say the first thought I had when I read this is that these tiny pixels will soon end up in our body just like forever chemicals when these devices get thrown away.

At this point we don't know if this is subtractive, additive, or a wash.
"Thought experiments" that allow you to make up whatever you want are pointless, because you can also make up whatever answer you want. So the "thought experiment" tells you nothing.

As actual physicists actually use thought experiments, they cannot make up whatever they want. Thought experiments involve taking a known consistent model and working out consequences of it that were not previously obvious or well known, and seeing where that leads. You can only do that usefully if you constrain the thought experiment by the model, i.e., if you do not allow yourself to make up whatever you want.

Since the discussion here is about an article on physics, it seems appropriate to treat proposed thought experiments the way actual physicists would treat them. That is what I have been doing.

On Dunkirk:

> Chairman Mao: They shouldn’t have attacked Moscow or Kiev. They should have taken Leningrad as a first step. Another error in policy was they didn’t cross the sea after Dunkirk.

> Dr. Kissinger: After Dunkirk.

> Chairman Mao: They were entirely unprepared.

> Dr. Kissinger: And Hitler was a romantic. He had a strange liking for England.

> Chairman Mao: Oh? Then why didn’t they go there? Because the British at that time were completely without troops.

> Dr. Kissinger: If they were able to cross the channel into Britain… I think they had only one division in all of England.

> Prime Minister Chou: Is that so?

> Dr. Kissinger: Yes.

> Prime Minister Chou: Also Sir Anthony Eden told us in Germany at that time that a Minister in the Army of Churchill’s Government said at that time if Hilter had crossed the channel they would have had no forces. They had withdrawn all their forces back. When they were preparing for the German crossing, Churchill had no arms. He could only organize police to defend the coast. If they crossed they would not be able to defend.

Mao making fun of the idea of the USSR invading China and getting the Chinese treatment:

> Chairman Mao: If there are Russians going to attack China, I can tell you today that our way of conducting a war will be guerrilla war and protracted war. We will let them go wherever they want. (Prime Minister Chou laughs.) They want to come to the Yellow River tributaries. That would be good, very good. (Laughter.) And if they go further to the Yangtse River tributaries, that would not be bad either.

I think it was a pretty small and colocated group of a similar demographic saying "as soon as they do that, I'm quitting".

I'm sure most people just saw they were locked out, realized things changed, and signed up.

There's a hold out Japanese communist movement, from pre ww2

There's also a truly bizarre subculture of pro North Korean longterm Japanese resident people.

It would not surprise me that in the 70s anyone in politics could believe a soviet Japan was possible. The Baath party slaughtered the Iraqi communists in the sixties, Indonesia slaughtered The Sukharno supporting communists along with passive support from the UK and Australia and USA, British forces in Malaysia were expelling 40,000 villagers for communist sympathies, communist rebels in the Philippines were firing up, and the Vietnam war embroiled Vietnam, Lao, Cambodia in the same torment. Allende would die in Chile inside the next two years: a Marxist government had been in power for a year.
Since independent forums never went anywhere, you have to ask yourself why Reddit still "won". In other words, if indie forums are so compelling, why didn't they prevent the success of Reddit?

Single sign on across a bunch of forums was always a holy grail. Users don't want to register for 10 forums either. I remember EZBoard (a free forum host in the early 2000s) had an EZBoard Gold membership where you paid monthly for SSO across all EZBoard forums instead of having to register on each forum.

Traditional ads (Adsense) are pretty much dead on forums except for breaking even + pocket change. And unless your forum attracts a lot of guests, you're stuck in the position of showing increasingly crappy ads to your own users, and of them the few users not running ad block. It's kinda cruel.

> Changes in terminology can also come from changes in culture and/or values.

I agree that the change in terminology is coming from "changes in culture and/or values" among "medical experts." But that's not an exercise of their medical expertise, right? The culture and/or values of the Dean of the Medical Faculty at Johns Hopkins isn't entitled to any more defense than those of a janitor in that facility, right?

And yet you get people like Zuckerberg who'll stick around until the end. It's not like he cares about users or connecting people beyond them being a means to grow the company. Yet he saw through the company from its founding to the gigantic megacorp it is now, and it doesn't seem like hell ever want to quit. Why didn't he quit? It's not like his users are any more appreciative and he's far from beloved by anybody.
There are some quirks, and WSL2 is buggy enough that I would advise advanced Linux users to prefer a bare metal install or a normal VM if those will work at all.

That said, I've used the linked NixOS image under WSL every day at work for about a year, and I've been very glad to have it.

Standalone Nix also works well under WSL2. I semi-regularly use it that way as well, on Ubuntu and openSUSE, for some testing at work.
"Trade" can exist outside of the literal meaning. Humans set up many situation where animals just do their thing, but in a manner that benefits the humans (and ideally the animal for this to be considered a trade, such as living in a protected environment).

Using Giant African Rats as landmine detectors is one such mutually-beneficial trade.
Cool! I did not know about the electrified truck experiments. I have lived in cities with electrified buses that pulled from overhead lines; those worked well for local routes.

I wonder:

* How much highway speed complicates things

* How much the hardware costs for individual passenger vehicles

Regardless, it would be nice to pull from the grid along the main routes; seems like an elegant solution to the range issue with electric vehicles.
> I think the geographical determinism is the whole point though, right?

My point is that it is post hoc a theory to fit the facts.

Angus Calder has a quote I can't recall about the "fight them on the beaches" speech Churchill gave, somebody in the house of commons said something to the effect "well we will be flinging beer bottles at them, it's all we've bloody got" and indeed the home guard was being taught how to make Molotov cocktails by ex Spanish civil war volunteers, and parading with pikes. A three man suicide squad technique was deviced to jam tank tracks with a baulk of wood, climb onto the tank top and set off a sticky bomb or a Molotov cocktail.

Getting 350,000 men and some materiel back from Dunkirk was a big deal.

Mao had similar concerns in the long March. Just surving was half his battle.
Ah, "just" thinking rears it's ugly head again, in the classic vein of over-generalizing from personal experience. "Just go to bed earlier." Why didn't anyone else think of that?

In fact they did. Unfortunately, when kids are loaded up with homework, that's not really possible. Late night, after homework, is often the only time they can socialize or do their own thing. Foregoing that would also be bad for mental health. And even when they do have the option of going to bed earlier (e.g. summer) that doesn't necessarily mean they sleep earlier. My daughter used to lie awake for hours trying to get to sleep; I've heard many similar stories from other parents and children. We don't need to offer facile quick fixes. We need to address the things that prevent good sleep by stressing them out and/or putting demands on their time, whether it's screens and social media or school-related stress.

If "just" going to bed earlier works for you, as it mostly has for me (less so since I hit my later 50s), then good for you. But don't act like it's The Answer for everyone.
Yeah you can easily host a phpbb or vbulletin or whatever still exists these days on a single dedicated server (ovh or hetzner) and be able to serve 100k MAU for about 50-75 USD/month.

Hell, for less than 10k MAU you can still get away with shared hosting if you're really strapped for cash, 5-7 bucks per month.

People around here really lost perspective of what can be accomplished with a dedicated box and a PHP forum.

You don't need kubernetes to handle 12 AWS instances in 3 regions, with S3 storage and distributed RDS with a side dish of lambdas to run your 45 microservices.

Watch the IPO dollars. That’s what this is all about. Whoever is hitching their wagon to this IPO should be taking a serious look at management and comments made by the CEO which were clearly demonstrating immaturity and a loss of touch with both product and community.

Sentence embeddings + retrieving context makes sense.

By any chance, have you done any work with indexing code using embeddings? I'd like to do something similar there, but there's no obvious notion of "sentence", especially across languages.

Probably the closest analogue is just lines of code, but breaking lines on newlines might break an expression in the middle removing meaning from both halves.

I was planning on trying indexing overlapping groups of lines but haven't had time yet.
It can't just be the same distance, but the same parameters in general.

I can't recall the study, but there is also a correlation of behavior in the US where car drivers give cyclists without helmets more room.

Anecdote: It was about 1994 and I was riding my bike in the bike lane along Santa Teresa Blvd to the southeast. A VW Beetle got within 4" of my rear tire and honked their horn trying to cause me to crash and run me over. I was wearing a helmet but that wouldn't make any safety difference. I probably should've not worn a helmet to seem more like a human.
I had trouble parsing your comment - are you thinking of the 1950s as before "modern advertising"?

Anyway, if yes, then the answer to your question, I guess, is probably yes:

"The Beat Generation was a literary subculture movement started by a group of authors whose work explored and influenced American culture and politics in the post-war era. The bulk of their work was published and popularized by Silent Generationers in the 1950s, better known as Beatniks.

The central elements of Beat culture are the rejection of standard narrative values, making a spiritual quest, the exploration of American and Eastern religions, the rejection of economic materialism, explicit portrayals of the human condition, experimentation with psychedelic drugs, and sexual liberation and exploration"

(The "silent generation" is a term for Westerners a bit too young to fight WWII, but too old to be Boomers)
