"Don't take your laptop or phone into China" is a completely standard and unremarkable piece of security advice for anyone in our field. I'm not sure how it ties into your point.
The FSF refused people who explicitly said they were totally ok with RMS being here too, that they just wanted to be able to disagree with him if need be and don't think that he should not be seen as indispensable. They also refused people just because they wanted to continue to work with local free software group that at some point communicated their disagreement with RMS.

Thanks for the clarification! I'm still new to Nix, so I'm trying to share useful things I'm learning without overstepping my expertise and saying wrong things.

My mental model of Nix was that if I'm in system state A, which is the result of performing task X + Y, and I want to get to system state B, which is the result of task X + Y + Z, then Nix would recognize that it's already in state A, so it only has to perform task Z to get to state B.

It sounds like what you're saying is that Nix's actual behavior is that if I'm in state A and tell Nix to bring me to state B, then Nix still performs tasks X and Y again, but the results are cached, so tasks X and Y feel as fast as a no-op, and the only task I perceive as taking time is task Z.

Is that right?
Yes, that's what I said. Tbh I think it is fair for the provider of capital to be recompensed for their contribution, since factories and machine tools cost (lots of) money and they are an essential part of modern production. There would be no jobs for laborers without the input of capital owners, just as there would be no investment opportunities for capital owners without laborers.

EDIT: WOW what a dishonest way to completely edit your post, and way to escalate this completely. A modern employee is in no way comparable to a slave, especially not the kind of employee likely to visit HN.
That's survivorship bias. You have eliminated from the sample all the people who wanted to have kid and already have one. It's unsurprising that people who don't want kids and will never have some are overly represented in the new sample.

I will be the first in line to complain about this, since it's a real loss for the web.

However.

Users fundamentally do not care and want something that works. Discord "works" how they want it to and has built the right patterns/etc to hook people.

Gotta out-compete it somehow if you want people to move.

It need to be thrown around more. I cannot count on one hand the designs I came across that were needlessly complicated that rather than solving a pain point became a problem in themselves.
To experiment with SGD and back-propagation with 4096x4096 32-bit matrices, you would need a machine with hundreds of megabytes of ram in the 90s. In terms of software, you would need to be comfortable with C/C++ or maybe Fortran to be able to experiment quickly enough to land on effective hyper parameters.

Probably too many low-probability events chained together.

You mean in comparison to Rust which is trending all the time? If we look back on comments for the last 30 days, Kotlin gets mentioned a lot,

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastMonth&page=0&prefix=tr...

I think the issue is as you say, Kotlin is limited to a specific domain mostly. And I would also say that perhaps most people working with Kotlin are doing it for specific companies and aren’t as popular as Rust which is being used to port everything to it.
Yes, every business needs to be recapitalized at some point. There is an entire industry that focuses on finding the non-public companies that OP mentions. It's called Private Equity and they buy these companies when they have come to the end of their natural cash flowing life.

The owners have either (at great pain) developed a sufficient capital base and succession plan to provide continuity (which would require significant ongoing investment in R&D out of cash flow in order to develop competitive products), or they must find a plan for the business. Going public solves this problem for them, so does selling privately. Neither option really eliminates the requirement to remain competitive.
> The attacks on rms have been wholly based on what he actually said, not character assassination.

They weren't. The things he actually said played a minor role in that kerfuffle - it all started with a lot of smears thrown at RMS by a person with some grudge. Additional quotes came later, as people started fishing for them.

> rms seems to forget that people will read not the words you write, but what they interpret you to be driving at based on the words you write. They took this to mean he was defending pedophilia (when in fact he wrote no such thing, being both neurodivergent and precise).

Why exactly are you defending people being irrational or engaging in power plays? You note yourself what the facts were, so why justify mistaking them?

> This is rms' fault for being bad at PR whilst being a public figure and leader.

RMS was doing fine until someone decided to destroy him for personal gain. Do you expect every person doing something interesting in a niche community should behave like a Hollywood celebrity or a politician, having their communications managed by teams of spindoctors, on the off chance someone wants to destroy them and picks mass media as their weapon of choice?
"You must sign in to run this model"

In this day and age, curiosity is not worth the risk.
This is a good video, but in reality there isn't much you can do, as a rider, to become visible. You need to assume nobody sees you, and you have to see for everyone else.

You also have to guess where people will be going before they know it themselves. It sounds a little magic and impossible, but after a while it becomes second nature.

Just don't count on other drivers seeing you, because

1/ they don't

2/ many hate you, and think it's fun to make your life difficult. Don't let them.
I'll have to think about that one. TBH, this stuff is pretty difficult to reason about.

However, I can say that I used a SMT solver as part of the wonderful SymbiYosys verification flow to verify that the design was good for around 20 cycles, no matter what the inputs are. That, and the randomised testing gives me quite a bit of confidence in the design.
You seem to be missing the point. It is about diversity of thought that I'm talking here. The FSF refused people based on them wanting to be able to disagree with RMS, or to continue to work with local free software groups that at some point criticized RMS return to the FSF board based on how it was orchestrated for example.
Correct and complete text handling is hard.

I had a shot at pulling out the core ideas in the Apple Vision Pro that I think will go on to define the spatial computing paradigm:

1. Your eyes can still be seen
2. You point with your eyes and gesture indirectly
3. The real space looks real
4. You remain grounded

I think Apple have been quite contrarian here. Interested to hear other people's opinions on what they think the core ideas are.
yeah, they’re playing up the “can’t fix it again” angle for the melancholy feeling.
I'm loving the ability to delve into obscure tech manuals. I am certainly learning a lot about my Mac with ChatGPT:

"System Integrity Protection (SIP) is a security feature of macOS designed to prevent potentially malicious software from modifying protected files and folders on your Mac. It’s generally not recommended to disable SIP unless absolutely necessary and you understand the potential risks.

However, if you still want to proceed, here’s how you can disable SIP:

1. Restart your Mac.

2. While it’s restarting, hold down Command + R to boot into Recovery Mode.

3. Once you’re in Recovery Mode, click on ‘Utilities’ in the top menu bar.

4. Select ‘Terminal’ from the drop-down menu.

5. In the Terminal window, type csrutil disable and press ‘Enter’.

6. You’ll see a message saying that System Integrity Protection has been disabled and that you need to restart your Mac for changes to take effect.

7. Restart your Mac normally.

Now you should be able to unload the SafariBookmarksSyncAgent."

Is anyone here using their max with SIP disabled? I didn't even know it existed...
Highlanders have their own dialect, but it's intelligible the same way Londoners can understand Scots. What happens after long exposure to Chicago is that half the lexicon gets swapped out with English words pronounced with Polish phonetics. Those people in their youth spoke very easily understandable Polish, but what they speak today makes sense only to them.
I guess what you mentioned is the story of most of the people who have tech money :)
It's not an array, but a way of using a variable as a key in an object.

const name = "key"

const example = { [name]: "value" };

This would result in

const example = { key: "value" };
> He became a dad at 51.

Now what are the chances that a woman would get pregnant at 51?

It is what it is. While I’m an only child and will never have biological grandchildren (married and by choice), my aunt who is 82 years old has been able to see her two daughters get married and have six kids and between those six kids have four kids.

The tradeoffs are real.

> This time, quitting her job led to a debut solo album, television appearances and sold-out shows

And for every one of her, there are thousands of singers in obscurity that are probably just as talented making $.0006 per play on Spotify and doing free gigs for tips at the local nightclub.

Life is what it is, but not meeting those deadlines have real consequences. I’m no wunderkind. While I was on a perfect timeline up until I was 32 - graduated at 22, house and married at 28, etc - it’s probably because I did feel pressure that I had to start over between 32-34 (2006).

So, yeah I was a late bloomer and while please play the smallest fiddle for me:

But, myself and my best friend since high school were on similar paths through high school and college - top of our classes (we went to different schools), went to the same college on academic scholarships, etc. I know what the road not taken looks like. He got married at 26 and been married for 20+ years and didn’t give up half his stuff because of divorce at 32. He captured the upside from real estate and didn’t make as many dumb decisions before he was 35.

Again, I’m not jealous nor have I ever been.

While he has literally 6 times more saved than I do for retirement and he is one day younger than I am, I made the best of my situation of being an empty nester and a remote worker so I don’t have to retire to enjoy the life of a retired person (see the second link). You play with the cards you are dealt.

I told him a long time ago that I realize that we aren’t on the same road and I’m always pushing for him. We are both in a good place now.

Everyone knows a man can get a woman pregnant at 51, what would be surprising is a woman having a successful pregnancy without complications at that age. If that's what happened why not include it, if not and she was younger, I fear women make takeaway a false message here.
Personally, i'd rather have RMS stay in place despite all of this than allowing a character assassination to work out. Because i consider the latter more awful.

Edit: First commit of the rms-open-letter is by Molly de Blanc. TIL she is an ethics moralist like Coraline Ada Ehmke, which paints the whole RMS controversy in a new light.
> I don't think that's true; I don't think political engagement or polarization is higher than, say, the period of the Korean War-Civil Rights-Vietnam-Watergate period.

I think this is a compelling argument and you may be right. But I think the flavor of modern divisiveness closer fits those days where Birth Of A Nation influenced a lot of the US. The scope may be less but indications are we're moving that way.
Don't you think it's weird to instantly blame those disorders for someone assimilating to an accent?
What's your stance on WebGPU - from my understanding it could be perfect thing for Futhark to target, as it would allow for truly portable GPU code both hardware and platform-wise.
It's simple when you realize that, FSF is about USER FREEDOM. Not DEVELOPER FREEDOM. As a user, I would be thrilled to have all 4 freedoms met. But as a developer with commercial interests, this might not be ideal. Clash between FSF and corporate mindsets are an age old thing. They hate FSF's definition of free software with a passion. A lot of mudslinging at FSF can be traced back someway or another to big corporations and their puppet organizations. WRT RMS, I don't see a much difference between him and young activists these days. Sometimes they can be a pain in the a*.
Same reason why people watch top gear, despite having no chance of getting in a hypercar.

To really optimize for latency, perform read lookup (and maybe write slot resolving) before the entire UDP packet is fully buffered and checksum verified.

For falcon 40b you probably need an A100 40gb or so.

Every model is drastically different.

If you want to run something on consumer hardware, your best bet is using anything ported to the ggml framework, especially if you're on Apple silicon.
Yes but there is a real biological timeline for having children that is different between men and women.
I imagine they were more interested in the age of the partner as men can produce offspring until very late in their life (see Al Pacino for a recent example) whereas women do undergo some physical changes that make them incapable after a certain age. If it was a 51 year old man but a 20 year old woman, that's a very different story than both of them being well over 40.
Because it is basically a dynamically typed Haskell? It also does currying.

Like, there is no one definition of FP, but Nix is definitely an FP language as well as the whole idea behind it.
I don't think there is survivorship bias here. If you simply track the percentage of people having children over their lifetime you can build stats like this as a type of ground truth in relation to census data etc.
Yup, and you can partition a FPGA in this way to scale the design to bigger chips.

My hope is that XState can become nearly as easy to use for visual/poc prototyping, but you’re right. They’re not quite the same tools and XState is more complex.

The team has awesome plans for the visualizer and V5 is around the corner which simplifies and generally improves the system overall, hopefully making it easier to learn but also to improve the visualizer.
These sorts of studies have been performed before -- for example, in the human brain of ALS patients pre and post-mortem (albeit with histology rather than light sheet microscopy) [1] with a fairly sophisticated automated image processing pipeline [2]; or more broadly with a wider range of causes of death [3]. There's even an "open brain bank" for the resulting data -- [4] -- and it looks to be rather well populated in the other species section [5]. I wonder if the authors of this work (who have produced beautiful data!) will be contributing to it -- I can't find a link to the atlases themselves.

Remember, with MR at thermal equilibrium the total amount of signal you can have is, all other things equal, proportional to the square root of scan time – their acquisition time is 245 hours!

Our sys admin put in the crontab on our systems a script that fetches and runs Ansible code if the code has an accompanying valid crypto signature.

Mostly it deploys Podman configs to run proxies that do "nat traversal" and provide various things on our machine most using Git as a backend.

Our internal docs are mostly a variant of Markdown or Scientific Markdown.

We use a private Jitsi server for meetings and our company policy is to never impose influence (no matter how light) on any employee to inadvertantly leak their likeness/biometrics to a third party org.

Some of these examples are great - a pattern I see so much with my parent's generation is that they get locked into the same pattern of life. The same group of people, the same routines and the same hobbies for decades. I think that it's the natural path as we age - and you have to actively make choices to fight it if you don't want that.

However, there's only some aspects of life in which you truly have choice later in life. The cold hard truth of biology (especially female biology) is that probabilities of successfully having children start declining pretty quickly at a certain point.

And if you don't start saving for retirement early enough? You won't have a pension. If you don't buy a house when you're (relatively) young? At some point you'll find it very hard to get a mortgage.

It's great to write a relatively shallow piece about how you don't need to hit milestones so early - but that's a symptom of an underlying system which is increasingly disenfranchising young people and not giving them the opportunity to have ownership in society.
Then you have chosen for the FSF to die on the hill of the cult of RMS. You've clearly staked your ground and nothing can convince you otherwise, even though there are vast instances of the things RMS has said and done from people that have worked with him and around him.

And I hope you realize the deep irony in you complaining about character assassination while you set out to do the same thing to try and prove an irrelevant point.
The Places Most Affected by Remote Workers’ Moves Around the Country
As a society, we have learned to forbid manufacturers from selling for mass consumption products without divulging what those products generally contain. As a society, why would we allow people to sell for mass execution software without divulging what those products generally do when we historically know (and are currently seeing) how this will end up?

The consumer is free to not consume if they don't trust the manufacturer? No, we generally require a little bit more declaration from the manufacturer on the product. I don't see why we would change this arrangement from physical products to software products.

But certainly that doesn't dictate that the source code is available... we require a list of ingredients but not the recipe. Appliances are required to have power ratings. Other products have emissions ratings, fuel consumption, etc. Such products are also generally certified to certain standards. Open source is actually easier than figuring out how to regulate telemetry, energy consumption, data processing, repair, continuance of service and the host of other things society might want (and is currently beginning to regulate) to be declared by software manufacturers.
Pretty interesting to focus foremost on the state machine.

I'm curious what the use case for the Figma connection is. If you're using Figma for design, wouldn't you use the built in protoyping tools?
The old folk population has not grown nearly as rapidly as social spending, so your response is what's disingenuous.

Medicare, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), TANF, SNAP (food stamps), Head Start, WIC, LIHEAP, and EITC didn't exist in 1950, and now they do. Society is vastly more social democratic today than it was then.

True, though I'd say that email is a cautionary tale due to how centralized it's gotten. I guess I was referring to "second wave" federation, for lack of a better term. Federated replacements for social networks: Mastodon, Lemmy, Friendica, etc. I can't say if those will be as successful as email, just that an obsession with itself is a pretty normal part of the growth process. Part of what made reddit successful, especially early on, was people identifying themselves as reddit users.
