>> I printed this response up, and read it to the concerned family. As I recited ChatGPT’s words, their agitated expressions immediately melted into calm agreeability.

not bad for a corny $0.5 hardback novel - but wtf was that about? If a Doctor read that script about my mother in ER, I'd be more insulated than had they printed the source code of a Linux Kernel module and proceeded to read it out in full, verbatim!

So what one's a Doctor or another's a Lawyer and even involved in tech VC world? Artificial Intelligence is extremely complex and specialized field, plenty of learned professionals and VCs have been mesmerized then duped by "altruistic" tech projects in the filed of AI or Crypto.

In the 80 and 90s automation tech in call centers was supposed to revolutionize customer support blah blah blah ... didn't work, people hate automation/robotic behavior, so the Industry switched to outsourcing calls to human operators in countries with cheaper salaries - it worked - and that drove other outsourcing innovations.
I fear, chat bots and generative AI will fair the same - they're barking at the wrong tree.
There is so much about HN that it seems that various users know, but which is completely un-findable. All this stuff about moderators, for instance. Not documented anywhere. Weird.
I agree with you about the worse type system not being a feature. Also missing the json features of postgres is inconvenient.

Only one file to backup or deploy is the biggest advantage of sqlite IMO.
The intention of the post is to get people to buy photos/book (with a convenient amazon affiliate link) that should be free and in the public domain so yes, it is an ad.
It's intended to be free. The value, as you said, is the content. Doing it on Reddit simply becomes really messy. For example, it is simplernto manage solutions and putting builders in contact with users in they way the prblms website is. If this grows, adding more features would be required, that Reddit is not optimized for.

About the second, would say that's the biggest issue right now. There is a strong interest on people to read the content, however, not so much in posting problems. That's why it is not required to register to post, to avoid friction as much as possible. I guess some kind of extra incentive would be required to encourage people to share problems.

Seems to be what usually happens with most communities. There is people interested in consuming the value, however, not so much interested on producing that value.

This was an experiment I build in barely 4 days, so let's see how it goes.
You might be like me and apparently 1/5th of the human population doesn't really feel the effects of caffeine. Basically goes in and out of your system without 'proper processing'. Been years since I read about it, so things might have become more clear.

I can drink coffee/red bull all day and it'll do very little. Can drink just before going to bed and sleep just fine.

I'll try to find the study on this again if you're interested.
Twitter did not in fact have that major of a spending problem. It was a somewhat profitable company, not greatly so, but not deep in the red. It however does now have a problem after Musk saddled it with debt that's going to cost $1B a year to service alone.

I don't know who owns the real estate, but it's not a difficult win. The terms of the lease is clear, and Twitter has the money to pay.
Yves Bréchet point in the linked video is that it’s first and foremost technical expertise, rather than political/regulatory landscape that explains why Taishan has fared better than the other EPR projects.

It’s not something we (I’m European) want to hear.

It doesn’t mean that public support doesn’t impact projects in Europe (or democracies in general), but it should not be used as an excuse to refuse to look further.

For instance Flamanville got a massive delay because of welding issues. That’s not a regulatory or public opinion issue. That’s an issue with the (lack of) expertise of French welders.

I don’t remember if it is for this one, or for repairs in other French nuclear power plants, but Canadian welders were called to the rescue…

And people only looking at the ISS as a "science experiment" are seriously misunderstanding the social impacts as well, especially when it comes to operations that span multiple countries and the relations between them.

Only if you use the special instructions for that purpose. If you're just doing a regular read/write, you're vulnerable to this kind of problem.

If you do use the atomic instructions, you're guaranteed a consistent view across threads for that location. Check your platform documentation as to whether this is also a memory barrier, affecting ordering between the atomic instruction and other non-atomic instructions.
http://nonint.com/ has some interesting posts about how he build a custom server to house 8 GPU's (3090's in this case). You're right that that will set you back more than $1000, though I was only referring to the GPU's themselves.

I don't think that what applies to 5σ mind can be generalised to the general population. While we surely should derive joy and playful pleasure from all things in life, that should be the result and not the goal in my opinion.

Otherwise we end up with adults spending ridiculous hours playing video games, chasing that beautiful feeling they gave them when they were kids, all the while avoiding real life.
My issue with this is that it needs to be retrained on a regular basis to make sure latest APIs are included. There needs to be a long term assessment to understand its viability in a commercial setting. Otherwise we'll jump in and after 6 months it will begin producing out of date suggestions for some edge cases. And then again if you need to support an old API how can you be sure it will produce the scoped results?
It sounds a lot like the Russian oligarchy, too.

For example, Lego is now targeting adults as well as kids. You can make a living out of collecting sets as an investment vehicle or by starting a YouTube channel where you review and show your collection.
What kind of power supply concerns? I've used quite a few of them and never had a problem.

For USB-powered development boards IMO the best option is the raspberry pi power supplies -- they are cheap, high quality, and can supply plenty of current. It's sometimes necessary to bridge over the input diode if you want to draw any significant current from the 5v pin.

If making your own boards the maximum 3.3v current is higher than you might expect (0.5A), but it's perfectly doable.
Reality check: what features do current budget-level Android phones have that weren't present on, say, a Galaxy S9 from 2018?

I do assume that you were talking in jest, but overestimations of technological progress are to much a pet peeve of mine that I had to bite. What will technology look like 40 years in the future? No idea. 40 years in the past we built a pretty cool maglev train (TR 06, best looking version of them all)

No I'm complaining that a city builder mainly restricts to one kind of city: the north American city with skyscrapers in the center, a road network (that may or may not look like a grid) and suburbs.

You might respond so vehemently to my comment because you've never experienced anything else than a car centric city? In which case I can only encourage you to visit other places.

What's for sure is we've both moved from constructive criticism to criticising each other, which isn't a good sign. So I'm sorry if I seem to have attacked your personal beliefs, maybe it's worth questioning why these have pushed you to respond with such disdain for something as trivial as an urbanism question and a video game.
> A system without cache coherency can still promise that updates won't be lost. There are lots of way to write rules around update propagation, and cache coherency is just one of them.

Not without coherency performed in software though, which is the point.

> Cache coherency doesn't protect you from stale data unless you only read one memory address ever.

It does. Observing updates to different locations in other than sequential order does not mean the data is stale. I guess that's also colloquial language issue. The data is up to date according to the constraints of the memory model.

> That depends on the memory model. You could have a system that doesn't guarantee cache coherency in general but works fine if you put in ordinary memory barriers.

What property of cache coherency could you lose and still have it working?
That would probably be no-fault in most US states (meaning both people are at fault). Basically unless you are hard stopped, each driver has some fault in any given accident.
Perhaps they plan on having ChatGPT make a quick copy of your database, for your convenience of course.
There is a Vim plugin called EasyMotion, which I absolutely love, which when invoked creates a simple 1 or 2-key "checkpoint" at the start of every word on your screen, and super imposes them on the text. Then it's only a matter of looking at the point where you wanted to move, and press the two keys written there, and there you are!

It's also fairly customizable in that you can specify which characters are actually allowed (so you don't end up with very weird keys to press), and some other stuff. So every time I need to move somewhere I can't be bothered to figure out the standard keys it would take me to get there, it saves me.

I believe that's more to do with your relative knowledge of either industry. Movie-making is a much more dynamic business than software making: scripts can vary dramatically depending on who's attached to the project at each time, on the cutting room after first viewings, directors can get replaced midway through shooting, etc etc etc. It's madness.
"Regarding your claim that Opus is better than HE-AAC, here's a "Quality vs Bitrate" chart from opus-codec.org, the home of Opus: https://opus-codec.org/static/comparison/quality.svg

Note that AAC (presumably they mean "Main Profile" rather than AAC-LC) has effectively the same efficiency as Opus. HE-AAC and HE-AACv2 have a higher efficiency than both Opus and AAC, and works great at lower bitrates in comparison to AAC."

This chart just roughly outlines (according to the feeling of Opus developers at that time) what to expect from Opus - a wide range of useful bitrates. It's not anything that was actually measured or something that can be used for drawing any conclusions from it. I mean - those nice curves and lack of any detail about the codecs used should give it away.

According to public (double blind) listening test that were performed by the Hydrogen audio group Opus does win over best HE-AAC codecs available at time when the test was performed - both at 64kbps and 96kbps bitrates [1] (Multiformat Tests).

I think that it's more the authoritarian movements that are especially immature and of course that's orthogonal to left/right classifications.

As a lefty myself, I find that right/capitalist politics to remind me of the toddler stage when kids are claiming things to be their own ("mine!") and exaggerating all of their accomplishments (e.g. Trumpism). Lefties tend to have more of a notion of sharing and trying to be emphatic with others, but there's certainly a breed of self-righteous, angry lefties too (c.f. Linus Torvalds' angry outbursts).

Edit: Another thought - is the infantilism better associated with populism? i.e. to appeal to a large demographic, it's best to keep slogans simple (e.g. "Get Brexit Done" from the UK Tories) and having simple ideas that can appeal to people despite the ideas not actually being practical (e.g. "Eat the rich")

Its also important to note that Keanu did train solidly for 4 months, 8 hours a day - but he didn't have to earn a living during this time.

He had enough income and resources from prior movies to be able to train like this. He's also the Executive Producer of the franchise.

So this whole premise omits the key data: be rich enough to choose how you want to spend your work hours, first.

tl;dr The old adage proves true: it is expensive to be poor.
So basically you're saying that people presenting infantile traits end up in... Immature ideologies.

It has nothing to do with left or right, you yourself is saying the left-right dimension is antiquated but still using the term to try to pull your argument.

It has to do with people incapable of thinking in higher-level orders, to understand nuance; to understand systems and how they relate to oneself, others and societies; to understand more mature views of the world, and to be able to parse through those views. They are present in any part of the political spectrum but the more immature sides attract more immature people.

You could just have avoided the whole political jab, it'd be a more interesting conversation.
It's not as simple as that. Do you know how quickly a business loses customers without being flexible? It's also reputation damaging for the market to know that DO draws a hard line.
I'm quite curious to see what Quake would look like given a similar treatment as the new Doom games got. That is, distilled down to a pure essence of what the original was trying to achieve.

I never got the impression that BIOS passwords were there to protect against attacks against adversaries who had full physical control of the machine to the extent they had the case open, more like a casual layer or maybe if the machine was physically separate from the terminal IO.

APDU Application Layer Protocol Data Units, the actual packet on the network. Max size specified by device Max_APDU_Length_Accepted parameter, one of two alternatives to NSDU

later versions would simply have copy and pasted the relevant text from the source into a different column and the URL into another column - I would still use zotero as a citation manager it was simply convenient if I needed to go back to the source to review context. The core features are present here though: a definition some context that I thought was important, how I understood the thing itself.

Agreed. I am married and have meaning of my life pretty much figured out, but I do play games and watch anime on the side.

The biggest problem with average contemporary "true adults" is that they only act as if they have their shit figured out. In reality they mostly tend to be incredibly close minded, have super limited knowledge of the world due to their TV addiction and are generally more authoritarian due to our socioeconomic system being super authoritarian.

The (more intelligent and cultured) outliers are actually closer to these supposed "kidults". More open minded, more tolerant, way less zealous.
So the 80/20 rule is about where it happens, and not about that it happens! I've never realized it before!

Okay, you are probably not really interested in the point where they sum up to 100, and you just want the 80% of the profit, whether the distribution gives 80/10 or 80/78 (where all customers give you almost the same profit, revenue and cost). Still a useful rule.
That's not really "the other side", is it? Those 150 billion are just waste/Keynesian stimulus.
That is not entirely true: owner-operators might be responsible for the front underride guard.

However the March 2019 GAO report notes that

1. There are no front guards available on the market for retrofitting conventional cabs.

2. There are arguments about their necessity, as conventional cabs tend to have lower frame and bumpers, thus partially fulfilling that role

3. Though it would have to be checked on a case-by-case basis and against clear standards, as bumper heights vary (hence a 2010 NTSB recommendation that the NHTSA develop performance standards, amongst various other recommendations around underride.

> We will never know, but what we know for sure is not implementing these advice made him successful

"Made him successful" implies a causality that is a bit too strong.

Indeed, we will never know for sure.

Maybe implementing these advice would have impeded development of other critical areas of his business.

Maybe it would have would have helped make is business more successful as he would have had a more reliable product.

Or maybe the business impact would have been neutral, but would have resulted in better quality of life/less stress for him and his employees.

But in general, the way I read this article is: they made good decisions overall, but as everything in the world, it was not optimal (switching platform too early, making some big mistakes like the credit card one, etc).

It's a very interesting read nonetheless, with clear take away:

* chose boring tech you know and focus on your product, not the tech, specially in the early days

* grow your infrastructure and complexity with your product needs

* accept you will mess-up but properly learn from it, and grow your organizational knowledge, structure and processes accordingly.

I think the largest such effort is Western Governors University. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Governors_University)

The biggest problem for any attempt at education reform in the USA is that education is organized at the state level. It is practically impossible to get all interested parties to cooperate nationwide.

The other major problem is that the public university system has developed a huge overcapacity. They operate now as businesses whose main goal is to keep themselves employed. You see the effects in the softening of academic standards and continual pursuit of more foreign students.
I feel like the obvious "How can we prevent this?" solution is "Don't fail open if your SPI transactions fail"? The most straightforward implementation of this would be for the firmware to read from the security EEPROM to obtain a hashed password of some sort and then verify that the entered password satisfies that, and if that read fails simply refuse to either enter the firmware or boot depending on config - that's sufficient to deal with the screwdriver attack. However, that still allows an attacker to replace the security EEPROM with something that simply provides a known hash, so the next level would be to encrypt the stored hash with the TPM (which will use an encryption key that's specific to the motherboard in question) which prevents that attack. At which point the attacker removes the TPM from the board, puts their own board on those lines, and sends back whatever they want and then they still win.

This is a legitimately hard problem to solve! Unless firmware starts using authenticated sessions with TPMs (in which the traffic over the easy to sniff bus is encrypted), swapping out the TPM is going to be a plausible vector for someone with physical access to the machine. Moving to fTPMs (in which the TPM stack runs as a software component on a segregated chip somewhere else on the device, such as the Intel Management Engine or the AMD Platform Security Processor) or an on-die TPM (such as Microsoft's Pluton) makes it massively more difficult to carry out this kind of attack.

tl;dr - unless you're introducing strong cryptography into things, trying to make security happen over unauthenticated buses is probably not going to work well for you
