Niemann has admitted to using an engine in some online chess matches when he was a teenager. A disturbing amount of internet people seem to believe this is enough cause to indefinitely ostracize him from society, like when there is an internet video of someone who did a negligently bad parking job and the comment section becomes frenzied and piles on trying to one-up each other with their escalating calls for punishment severity as the mob mentality takes hold.

A significant amount of people believe that if Magnus Carlsen accuses Niemann of cheating in a high profile over-the-board tournament game with no other evidence than Carlsen's suspicion, then this accusation is valid simply because of Niemann's admitted past transgressions in other contexts.
It's far from shallow minded. In Germany that's actually how the law is interpreted.

The theory is that under an indirect third party effect free speech becomes effectively limited, if large companies censor people. As a result they can be compelled not to do so within reason. For example, if a social media platform bans you, you can sue them and they have to show that they have sufficient reason and that they gave you opportunity to appeal etc. If they fail, they have to unban you.
Completely agree on the culture, it's not that people in one place are inferior to the other - it's just that that's the way how work is done in their country and they keep doing it as long as they are in that environment. When the same people physically move to another country, they end up absorbing the local culture and adopt and behave like the rest of the team.

That said, with all the communications in place today I think the culture is becoming global with newer generations having less and less difference between countries.
We seriously need a good open source browser alternative. Great to see competition here.

I would love to see a browser built for developers with new paradigms for Dev Tools.

Of course, the challenge will be parity in terms of rendering and performance with the current incumbents.
Intel is much closer with Habana Gaudi2. Sometimes I’m unsure whether they even recognize it.

They also published MLPerf results today: https://habana.ai/blog/gaudi2-demonstrates-competitive-llm-p...

With 384 Gaudi2s they did the LLM task in 312 minutes, compared to 46 minutes for 768 H100s. It’ll come down to cost, but given the H100 is a process node or two ahead (and much more expensive I imagine?), Intel is actually much closer than I had realized. They’re the only other to submit an MLPerf result for the LLM task, I think. All credit of course to Habana Labs which was acquired by Intel.
There is no “overdrive” as you suggest. With a higher internal resistance you get a bigger voltage drop internally. There is way to overcome this.

If they think that this is good allocation of their resources, why shouldn't they? (rhetorical question, it's because remote workers are not 2h of commute time per day less productive).
Also if you don't leave your house, you reduce your odds of having an accident. If you don't move inside the house, you reduce your odds of slipping and hurting yourself.

You can use a spoon to transfer into the measuring bowl.

My mom taught me when I was a wee lad that a heaping table spoon was about 20g of flour, and a flat table spoon of sugar is about 10g. I have no idea if this is true, but to get 200g you get approximately ten table spoons, and you just get a bit less or more in the late one.

I think this is how an ORM for SQL databases should be. Unfortunately I don't use Node on the backend (Rails, Django, Phoenix) but I wish there would be ORMs like that for those frameworks.

TLDR: write SQL with interpolated parameters, get the results parsed into objects.
Very cool that Ladybird has gotten like $300k in the last month after years of Andreas and co working on it for significantly less than that.
I've defaulted to doing all my data munging in a clojure repl.

They mean database agnostic - that you can easily/magically migrate your application from a DBMS to another and the ORM will handle it for you. That usually works only for trivial databases and does not include data migration.
It may not be a bad idea to fail fast by ORM calling the constructor (same way as Jackson does it when parsing JSON).
Broken invariants may propagate and cross system boundaries making things much worse (I have seen a case, when $200M transaction was rolled back in 19 systems because data was not properly validated at entry - it was a crazy day for everyone in production support).
That sounds wonderful and is nothing at all to do with what the parent comment was suggesting.
Extending life beyond 70-80s is not going to do anybody any favor unless you figure out something for aging. Old people are a liability and they serve no purpose other than emotional for your kids maybe. But someone barely living into his 90s with frequent visits to the clinic and on multiple supports (ie: need assistance for urinating) is not something enjoyable. At least from my point of view.
Maybe instead of saying "saved" to users of your app you need to say them "NOT SAVED" in big red letters? Draft saved regularly is an expected behavior, it is futile to notify people about it. If they wouldn't annoyed by it, they would stop noticing it, it is how human mind works, it doesn't notice predictable patterns.

From the other hand if draft was not saved, it is a rare case when something went wrong, and users want to know about it.
> The kernel works, but ps(1) does not

> If the kernel version differs from the one that the system utilities have been built with, for example, a kernel built from -CURRENT sources is installed on a -RELEASE system, many system status commands like ps(1) and vmstat(8) will not work. To fix this, recompile and install a world built with the same version of the source tree as the kernel. It is never a good idea to use a different version of the kernel than the rest of the operating system.

It certainly seems like the freebsd userland and kernel are fairly tightly coupled where even basic utilities won't work anymore on a version change.

If you note, most of these drugs are parenteral (injected IV). It’s a bitch to manufacturer because standards are so high.

So what happens is profits get squeezed, someone runs a bad batch and throws it out, while another company is like “nah, we don’t want to make this any more” and poof, shortage.

Of course someone will step in eventually, charge 10x the price, and get bad press for “cost of lifesaving cancer drug increases by 1000% percent”.
And how many people were rejected in job interviews for saying exactly this?

I hate this industry.
> Moore's law says nothing about price or performance.

Moore's law is about doubling of transistor count for the same price. At least that's always been my understanding.

EDIT: I decided to look it up. Heres the original 1975 statement from him that led to the law:

"The complexity for minimum component costs has increased at a rate of roughly a factor of two per year. Certainly over the short term this rate can be expected to continue, if not to increase. Over the longer term, the rate of increase is a bit more uncertain, although there is no reason to believe it will not remain nearly constant for at least 10 years."

So yup, it's about transistor density vs price.
You've misunderstood the comment. The question posed in the title of TFA is being begged.

There are plastic rocks forming. Those aren't rocks with plastic melted on top of them. They are literally plastic rocks formed via the same processes alongside normal rocks. We could ban plastics tomorrow, and it wouldn't be enough. We've screwed over the entire Earth.
Premier and Vizient are group purchasing organizations which handle all the supply for a ton of hospitals - 800k or so hospital beds between the two out of about a million total in the US. They started out as hospital purchasing groups which were created by hospitals who banded together to get better deals so they usually monopolize purchasing for an entire hospital. Now they’ve grown so big they’ve got monopolistic pricing power as consumers (I don’t know the right economic term) since there are so few organizations buying for all the hospitals.

When buying syringes, bandages, and most of the things hospitals need, that’s not a big deal but the way many oncology drugs are administered these organizations end up handling all of the negotiations instead of pharmacies and insurance companies. Patients and even their healthcare providers have basically zero say in the purchasing because it’s all rolled in.

Since the US is the most profitable market in an already low margin business, the generic manufacturers can’t justify the production lines for cancer drugs without at least one of these clients so they‘re driven to extreme price wars. In good times, they eek out a profit, but in bad times when variable costs go up, they’re no longer viable.

> At this point remote work is nothing new

I disagree. As long as i still see traffic in cities, it means remote work is still a tiny minority
so why do you think companies buy their own trade marked brands as keywords so that they can pay google for their organic traffic? Because they're idiots?

Why do you think google moved the ads from the side where they were clearly marked and obviously not search results to the top of the search results and made it much harder to tell "this link is actually an ad"? I mean obviously for money but why do you think it made them money? What do you think of google's plans to offer deep discounts to advertisers for traffic from keyword searches for their brand or corporate identity? Reasonable?

> Remember when google was good and gave you "search results" as best it could instead of suggestions of things it thinks you might want? In those days ...

"in those days" - is that they key to this argument though?

Has Google evolved to what the majority want? Ie. "stuff" rather than "information"

Are we, on HN, in an echo chamber? Curious people, on the fringes, still wanting information whilst our "normal" peers are just interested in breaking their previous weekly Amazon delivery record?

Maybe Google are serving their customer base. We're just not it anymore.
What does rule 5 mean
1. The Sackler family won immunity from all future civil and criminal liability. Maybe they paid off Rudy in a shady hotel during their corporate bankruptcy proceedings.

2. The Prohibition-inspired, Nixon-era (racist), pointless War on Drugs fuels murders and violence in Central and South America, gives profits to terrorists, and keep users hooked and criminalized. The way forward is decriminalization, regulation, testing, and treatment.
That is a cheap comment. Could you elaborate why you disagree with the comment you respond to?
IMO it's just legacy.

All high level pastry recipes have converted to weights a long time ago since precision is important, but truth is for most recipes exact dosage does not matter so traditional measures from a time when scales were less common and precise survive.

> Two things can both be true.

That two things can be true makes sense.

> It's a zero sum game, and it's the morally right thing to do.

These two things can be true, they aren't in this case, but they can be.

In case it's a misunderstanding i'm going to state clearly, with emphasis:

> Helping the ~ [less] fortunate ~ isn't a zero-sum game.

Helping all people everywhere might be ( i haven't really considered that enough to have a solid opinion ) but helping a subset of people without impacting another subset of people isn't zero sum when the sum of those subsets isn't the whole.

In numbers:

The whole = 10

-----

Less fortunate group a = 2

Less fortunate group b = 2

Others = 6

-----

It's possible to get group a to 3 without bringing group b down to 1, because helping the less fortunate groups isn't zero sum.

I'm simplifying here because the whole being a fixed 10 isn't accurate either, but it does illustrate my point.

> But christ, just call a thing what it is.

I will, thanks ?

Not sure how the "it's to late to do anything about it" is supposed to contribute to this debate. It's also factually wrong. The production of new plastics could be drastically reduced through regulation of both the production itself and its use cases. Most food and drink containers could be made from non-plastic materials. I've built a house that uses maybe 5% of the plastic that is common in construction where I live. You could pull out the cables, window seals, roof cover and switches and basically leave the rest of the house to compost. The government could mandate that producers of plastics must offer a convenient and financially attractive way to hand in old plastics. There are a thousand ways to drastically improve this problem, fatalism only contributes to it.
Somewhat, but I suspect that it’s not as bad as it may seem.

The pandemic made it clear that there are naturally forming windows of better collaboration around longitudinal time zones. Outside of +/- 2 time zones becomes fairly difficult on a regular basis. West coast to East coast is difficult.

For Americans, there may be some interesting competition coming out Mexico and perhaps a few of the more advanced countries of South America like Brazil and Argentina.

For Europeans I would expect the same from Africa, from countries like South Africa, Morocco, Kenya, etc.

But once you are outside of +/- 2 time zones you either need one side to shift schedules or have zone local orgs.

At that point it’s less about remote work and more about outsourcing. We already know what outsourcing looks like, and it’s very different from remote work.

Bottom line, I do expect to see increased competition for remote jobs, but for the good roles that matter the competition is not truly global.

I come from Java and moved to nodejs for backend four years ago. I now use sequelize as orm. Most of your pain is due to hibernate itself. It may be the only really enterprise level orm but it is a pain in the ass.

Sequelize is extremely simpler and writing code with it is a joy compared to hibernate.

When you say nobody uses different database that’s true 99% of the time but i worked with a company which developed a tool that must be placed within customer infrastructure and this type of customers force you for the db choice since they have highly paid db support teams (financial sector) so they had to support multiple dbs.

A year ago i had to develop a big Java application without orm (cto’s choice): i didn’t remember how tedious, error prone and slow is development without orm!!! Never do it again!

I think the best approach is to use orm for common crud tasks and add specific sql queries when things get a little bit complicated.
Where is the consumer - the sick cancer patient - represented in your analysis?
The correlation between IQ and job performance is typically weak[0] (weaker than the correlation between conscientiousness+agreeableness on job performance in some studies[1]) with a more modest correlation for "high complexity jobs".

Interesting excerpt from [0]:

> Finally, it seems that even the weak IQ-job performance correlations usually reported in the United States and Europe are not universal. For example, Byington and Felps (2010) found that IQ correlations with job performance are “substantially weaker” in other parts of the world, including China and the Middle East, where performances in school and work are more attributed to motivation and effort than cognitive ability.

If you can't differentiate buzzwords from signals you shouldn't be interviewing.

Plus how do you expect to get good signals from a leetcode whiteboard interview for someone who spends most of their time designing systems and only writes code when it gets to the point where it's faster and less frustrating to pair program vs explaining what needs to get implemented?

To clarify, I don't have a good answer: I still participate in leetcode style interviews (though system design is another component) - but although I sing the song and can't come up with anything better, I don't think it's the best way to go

Could someone explain to me USian school schema pls ? Especially what difference collage vs university. For comparision in Poland we have schema (+- 1 year):

- 0 - 6 preschool

- 7 - 15 basic school (mandatory)

- 16 - 19 middle school

- 20+ university or polytechnique

And middle school generally divides into: a) 3 year of craft school, workforce after; or b) 4 years of general learning school, no craft knowledge after, expected to go to university after or be clerk, or ..., unspecified; or c) ~4 years technical school in specific craft with "qualified technik" diploma quasi low level "engineer" (have some knowledge to be responsible for things), maybe polytechnique after or uni

At unis typical degrees: master, phd, professor.

So where in such schema collage is located ?
