Prompt: generate a dataframe that lists: the amount of sunlight exposure by time, given the UV index, that corresponds to a given dose of Vitamin D in IUs, and milligrams (for each and/or an average patient profile)

How much vitamin D supplementation results in the same serum level as sunlight exposure?
To clarify: the fact that I think Prighozin is insane shouldn't be read as support for Putin.

But he's a madman whose organisation has committed atrocities in several countries; if he is Russia's hope for an end to Putin, that is not a good scenario.

thank you vmoore. forgot about domaintools, used their tools 100 years ago all the time.
Almost 10 years on HN and I've never known about this. Thanks.
ehhh ok. I'll take my crack at Australia.

I spent a year there, mostly in SA and the NT. A six pack of beer and a pack of smokes will set you back $50. When it comes to road signs, the "are you feeling sleepy" every few kilometers really makes you... sleepy. Police presence is heavier than in America. There are checkpoints going into towns. Then of course there's the separate window for alcohol for Aboriginals, who line up early in the morning, the scanning of your driver's license every time you buy beer...

When I first got there, I stayed in King's Cross, Sydney, and it was fairly wild. I heard that neighborhood isn't there anymore, and hasn't been for some time.

[edit] Also, maybe this was just a rumor, but I was told by a mechanic in Adelaide that if you squeal your tires they'll fine you, and if you do it twice they'll impound your car and crush it. I was told by a roofer that his job was almost impossible because he now had to spend an hour putting on harnesses to do a simple job. I was told by an old fellow who owned a motel in Inverell that the licenses for his inn and his restaurant were putting him out of business. And everywhere I heard people complaining about licenses and fees making work harder. What I mostly saw were a lot of old folks at the ANZAC halls in small towns complaining that things weren't like they used to be, so maybe that colored my vision a bit.
I've tried this and it took ~5 minutes to generate 10 seconds of studio on my 3080. That just doesn't work if you're trying to generate an hour long podcast.
> I think being remote worked for me for a while.

I totally agree with this - after 20ish years of doing 5 days a week in an office in the city, I was majorly burnt out with that lifestyle and remote was a massive relief for the first year or two.

For me, that doesn't mean 100% remote forever is an appealing though, I think 3-4 days week with a bit more flexibility than pre-covid is probably ideal.
I mean in terms of the compromised software distribution system by governments or similar.

There are products like encrypted phones. They are advertised as secure locked down devices designed for people who have high security requirements. They attract crooks and thus law enforcement that compromise their servers. This can go unnoticed for decades.

Of course this risk is there for any distribution, but we can compare one distribution with another.
(laughing) There are limits.
Much of the infrastructure in the US that was highlighted in the American Society of Civil Engineers' Report Card as in need of critical attention dates back to the 1950s.

In the six decades from 1950 to 2010, the U.S. population increased from 157.8 million to 312.2 million ..

If the infrastructure was built when the population was less than half the current 2020s population, can it be repaired with modern technology should the population hypothetically plummet by half?
The point is that language is unavoidably ambiguous (I'm sure there's a mathematical information theory proof of this, akin to the Byzantine Generals problem.).
I 100% agree.

This article is a good promotional article to get people hyped about this new product. I must admit, it has sparked my interest. I'm eager to use it. At last, I won't have to deal with inconsistent voice actors for my wizard demos / support pages.

Surely, they may have to incorporate some safety measures, much like OpenAI has.

There's a great fanfic which attempts to explore these more and polish them up into a cohesive philosophy.

In Star Trek the Ferengi are a foil, a caricature of capitalist excess. This fanfic attempts to paint a different kind of caricature. I'm not anarcho-capitalist so I don't want to speak for them but this seems to describe the utopia of free exchange they wish for.

I think we will be seeing this more and more (less cache on the die OR stacked cache on top of the main chip instead of in it) since SRAM scaling is now near a halting point [1] (no more improvements) which means the fixed code of cache is going up with every new node.

History is more nuanced than people want it to be. If you think that white skinned people specifically are or were all racists in a unique way that sets them apart from other nations, creeds, tribes, then yes that is both stupid (demonstrably ahistorical) and itself racist. If you want to compare the relative intellectual achievements of different races, it sounds like you do, that to me is inherently racist. Grouping people of a different historical epoch based on the color of their skin and assigning some judgement to that group, beyond obvious historical fallacy, is literally racism. But I don’t see that sort of racism as being unique or even uncommon. It’s just the racist thinking that’s fashionable today. Don’t follow fashion, that’s the lesson history should teach us. Natives respect their ancestors you should too, but all of them not just the dark skinned.
That was a fun rant to read!
I got 12%, and after also not knowing what it means, and seeing no units whatsoever on the y-axis of the chart, have to leave feeling the author completely and utterly missed their opportunity to convince me of whatever argument they were making. You lose me completely at inability to convey meaningful data from the experiment.
In principle, I like the idea of it. Whether or not it's a binary or source to be compiled locally is irrelevant, I suppose.

My concern is that it's not clear to me how this will look on my computer. Currently, I download the source tarball and build with the latest Go toolchain I have previously installed. I then change the path to point to the newly built toolchain.

So, in the future, what is it I'm downloading? How does the toolchain get updated exactly? Where does the new executable reside? What happens to the toolchain that I explicitly built and installed? How does Go1.21 change my path?

As I say, I like the idea in principle but there are details that I think are important, that don't seem to have been explained anywhere.

Why "not my politics" == flag?
What do you mean it 'utters insensitive statements', this is not a chat bot, it's text to speech, it generates speech for exactly what you type in, the threat is that it can be trained to sound like exactly anyone and the potential for fake news etc is high.

The trouble is, this is already partly here and going to be increasingly available. For smaller startups that already do this like ElevenLabs, they have no reason to hold back, as it's there entire business, Meta can for now, but it's a fruitless exercise. These tools are coming.

Meta doesn't want the flack hurting or causing investigations into it's current business is more what it means, it will release the tool when others have released there's and it will no longer be the one to blame.
Well they did that because they were in third, ie they had little to lose from 'commoditizing their competitors'

At what point are the citizens of a country responsible for what the country's military is doing?

Note: not advocating for a nuclear genocide, but I do feel that citizens become culpable if they are allowing their country to stop on others and they aren't protesting or emigrating (if possible)
depends on the type of job program TBH. if its a job program of consultants and subcontractors and its corruption all the way down, its terrible. But NASA programs are an absolutely massive jobs program throughout the country for a variety of skills and industries. "for science" is nice and all, but jobs programs are equally as important for the economy and country as a whole.

contrary to what many say, space exploration is pretty useless. the most barren, remote part of earth is more interesting biologically, geographically, scientifically, and historically than any part of our solar system or the nearest solar systems. even if 99% of life on earth was wiped out by a catastrophic event, it would still be more livable than any planet or moon in our solar system. there are no novel elements or materials on other moons or planets that earth doesn't already have in abundance, and if a civilization was established on mars it would take at least a century, more like 2, for it to have any exports; it would be purely an import economy 100% reliant on earth. its a great jobs program and its pretty cool, but it isn't even close to helpful for pretty much anybody on earth except a few dozen.

that being said, agree 100%. so many things could be solved easily if things were streamlined, which is a good thing about authoritarianism. FDR pushed through the new deal and so much because he had supreme power over the executive branch, dems controlled both houses, and he packed the courts in his favor to prevent opposition. the most authoritarian president by a mile, but ushured in incredible change that was absolutely required to get past the great depression. obviously this was supported by the new deal coalition which would be difficult to construct nowadays because both sides disenfranchise large parts of the other. unity is required, but neither party wants it, so its split and nothing gets done. eventually something will break the camel's back and it'll shift, but until then everything will kinda suck
Git is not insufficient. For various reasons, Git is not a good match for what OpenBSD needs. OpenBSD needs an implementation that uses privsep, pledge, unveil, fits the mindset needed for Theo to accept running it on his own infrastructure, doesn't carry more baggage than necessary, and is a joy and easy to work on for OpenBSD developers independently from third parties. So the options were forking Git or writing something else, and I chose to do the latter.

> For the record I don't necessarily think this is the primary impetus for the coup, but I'd be shocked if there weren't very serious powers making serious efforts to achieve something like this, and as a result, likely had non-trivial influence here. I highly doubt it's as simple as Wagner just getting bought out though. If anything I'd say this as much opportunism and initiative by Prigozhin himself as it as any foreign powers work.

I’ve been wondering what China has been doing. It seems very plausible to imagine them making some overtures along the lines of “keep Russia stable and exporting resources to us and we’ll recognize your government and make you phenomenally rich”. He’s a nationalist but also keenly aware of how expensive a military force is so he must have some idea of a path to legitimacy.
"Consistent x86 ISA" in that slide is clearly a dig at Intel. AVX-512 is still not present in the chips with E-cores.
> his budding metaverse — tramples relentlessly over a new kind of human right that is not talked about enough.

Which human right is that, again? Your attention span? Your willingness to sign abusive contracts?

I wish Cory Doctorow would meaningfully refute these problems instead of fetishizing them for science fiction purposes. He's worse than Stallman in that respect - he acknowledges that we have these complex society-level issues, and instead of devising a solution he steelmans an insane opinion and waits to be proven wrong. Again, I don't even disagree with a lot of his thesis statements - the Metaverse is probably a net negative for humanity, and copyright law shouldn't be the be-all end-all of information. I just disagree with the hyperbole he uses to frame these discussions, because it makes all of us look like fools by extension.

If fixing society was as easy as reading more Doctorow, everyone would do it. Scratching our Black Mirror itch doesn't usually come with a solution proposal, though.

> The longer your name is, the more untraceable you become.

For some reason I don't believe you, Mr. Doctorow.
A lot of sites haven't kept up with best practices. Even HN doesn't (I'm on mobile so I can't double check, but last I did HN uses "pt").
We should first examine the origins of morality. That will allow us to understand the goals and motivations behind rules. If one of the goals of a moral system is also to get across the message that "We are in charge, remember it and don't mess with us or with the system", then deliberately vague rules are a feature of the system for those that can benefit and wield the law and social opinion against others. Rules can be interpreted to the advantage of the group that runs the show.
There is no right or wrong here. You have an expectation for feedback, that is true and fair, and they have no obligation to give it to you. Would it be nice? Sure, in your eyes, probably not worth it in theirs. Is either of you in the wrong, no. Managing expectations is always advisable.

If you go on a date with someone and they decide not to go out on another date with you, they have zero obligation to tell you why they won't be doing the second date. As nice as it would be for you to know why.
Does this classification give any value?

I couldn't answer yes for any point, so considering them the same it's simpler.

The justification for textualism is that it's better to be wrong in a precise way, than to try to be right in a fuzzy way.
But both models are wrong. Bit rot is real and applies to laws. It's not possible to keep laws up to date with what they would be if lawmakers had infinite resources to dedicate to lawmaking and maintenance, even ignoring the huge issue of democratic consensus and parliamentary procedure issues.

(All models are wrong! Some useful!)

The law is a tool which imperfectly models the goals of the lawmakers.

For lawyers judges, the beauty of law is that the law has plenty of room to support contradictory interpretations.
Slashdot used to get complaints like this all the time (maybe still does, wouldn't know). They would be followed by a recitation of the Slashdot motto: "News for nerds, stuff that matters. This is a story that matters." Usually shut people up immediately. HN also suffers nerds not wanting to hear about anything except nerd shit, but we don't have a handy shorthand to shut down these tedious complaints.
Seems to be doing OK so far.
There is no "the power center" btw, there are multiple power centers and he is one of them.
I'd much rather give free stuff to people. Given those people are citizens and it allows their reinsertion into society. Space exploration supposed benefits are far more remote and as of now, not very useful.

> They don't communicate new ideas, they merely confirm and label existing ideas which, until that point, had been building up in people's minds independently over many years.

I see it doing something different: organizing a collection of events into a causal narrative that helps to explain our present situation. Additionally, by focusing on the meaningfully important events and their causes, it points to some number of solutions for how we can improve our present situation.
That is true, but the guidelines also say anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

History of nations & psychology & huge geopolitical changes is indeed something I find very interesting. And I think I'm not alone as I don't believe that hackers have to be interested only in tech and nothing else.
If you are bootstrapping a profitable product with mass appeal and get any sort of success your product will be replicated with VC funding and you will be outspent.

The article is right. Small startups that are bootstrapping succeed via relationships, not scalability. The exception would be if you build a niche product that you can manage and scale yourself better than a well funded team could. That’s rare.

A better approach is to have a solid base of profitable business clients, customize for them, and then unify the use cases & customization later on a single platform, and go big from there once you are on solid footing.

Cores won't draw much while blocking on a memory access. If the core count vs core utilization trade-off is a tie, the napkin math expectation would be same throughput, same power draw of cores, less power draw of cache for less cache.

>> Cars/trucks/motorcycles aren't allowed, and obviously police and ambulances (and fire trucks) doing their jobs don't have to follow the sign.

Obviously? Really? Not only do I find it non-obvious, the rules of the game specifically say to ignore outside context which would IMO include ignoring municipal laws or rules that might say emergency vehicles can go anywhere they are needed. That is huge part of the issue they are pointing out - an ambulance violates the rule, but context makes it OK.

It is amazing how, with so limited resources, people were able to write decent UI but today, with GB of RAM and TB of storage they are not. But back then there was a bit of decent competition.
I agree that this result is wholly unsurprising (I had just assumed it to be true, but it is nice to have confirmation).

I am not sure I understand your comment on language structure. E-graphs are used to reason automatically about equivalence of (PL or) math expressions, there is quite a lot of possible combinations of assembly opcodes or other bytecodes and do not humans interact with them directly but compilers and formal tools have to.

(Edit: typo, meant humans do not interact with bytecode directly... Usually)
There aren't really "performance implications" for making an impossible thing possible.

The ability to emit a parser/verifier would not require any other runtime or affect the speed of any other code.
They are still hundreds of miles away from Moscow. In a textbook coup you seize centers of power and media stations as fast as you can but this attempt is on the slow side (certainly the physical size of Russia is helping too).

For now it is "only" an armed rebellion, I guess. And depending on how it unfolds it could be a lot of things.

I think that this sort of thing is not very frequent in contemporary, or even modern, history, but it is very reminiscent of Roman history.

No. He had evidence, based on direct observation. The claims made at the time with Covid and the lab leak theory had no evidence and were made entirely for political purposes.
Agree 100%. I worked at Kennedy Space Center for a government contractor in the early 2000's. While I was there, NASA cancelled a software re-write of the launch control system. By then, they had already spent something like $800M and had nothing to show for it.

I can't think of a single piece of software that exists in the world today that couldn't be rewritten with $800M in capital.

Biology is a tough nut to crack with boatloads of computational irreducibility, some of which we know about, some of which we don't.

I've seen so many problems get hung up on two things:

1) It was a SNR problem at the point of data measurement, and no amount of ML can fix that.

2) It's a computational irreducibility problem that was mistaken for a convolution

Of what you listed, the penultimate honestly sounds the most realistic and least pie-in-the-sky. Personally, I'd avoid anything predictive because of the two issues I mentioned. It can be done for some things, but it's really quite difficult to tell for what.
We don't really have a functioning rehabilitation program now. The rates of failure and relapse are not exactly low. There are also often a bunch of hoops to jump through to even get access to them, most people are more interested in being "tough on crime" which really means "authoritarian".
