"The starting point is the connection between diversity and entropy. We will discover:

• how Shannon entropy, originally defined for communications engineering, can also be understood through biological diversity (Chapter 2);

• how deformations of Shannon entropy express a spectrum of viewpoints on the meaning of biodiversity (Chapter 4);

• how these deformations provably provide the only reasonable abundance-based measures of diversity (Chapter 7);

• how to derive such results from characterization theorems for the power means, of which we prove several, some new (Chapters 5 and 9).

Complementing the classical techniques of these proofs is a large-scale categorical programme, which has produced both new mathematics and new measures of diversity now used in scientific applications. For example, we will find: [...]"

"The question of how to quantify diversity is far more mathematically profound than is generally appreciated. This book makes the case that the theory of diversity measurement is fertile soil for new mathematics, just as much as the neighbouring but far more thoroughly worked field of information theory"
> it's under a cctld that clearly affiliated to and managed by that government.

Maybe this is my latent American nationalism showing, but isn't .gov "clearly affiliated to and managed by" the US government?

I think this bit was added as an edit or maybe I just missed it:

> an inherently international .gov domain

.gov is not inherently international for all the reasons in this subthread (and probably others as well)
Yes. Every temporary work-around I have ever created, still in use today at companies I no longer work for. My name is still in that hot mess in production.
I live in North Dakota, so if I want to get anywhere I usually drive. I did Fargo to Bozeman by myself last year. Have driven Fargo to Yellowstone in a day. Fargo to Seattle in 2 days with another driver. Chicago is a 9 hour drive. Denver is 13 hours. Long road trips are a regular part of life when you live in the middle of nowhere.
I have this battle with newer developers quite frequently. They immediately want to reach for a framework for everything and they try to abstract away as much html and css as possible.

A common experience has been with new grads who have a lot of experience with tailwind. They're used to being able to just apply a tailwind class for everything. However, I find they often lack the understanding of what is actually going on at a css-level so are unable to easily do anything that breaks the tailwind mold. I often have them sit down with a more senior developer to watch them use raw css (with some developer ergonomics like styled components or sass) for a bit, and they come away with a new appreciation for how the fundamental languages of the (modern) browser are quite expressive and powerful.
Given that it takes about the same amount of electricity to refine a gallon of gasoline as it does to power an EV over the same distance an ICEV would travel on that gallon, I think electrifying transportation isn't going to be a big deal. The grid will evolve for changing patterns of consumption, just as it always has. Even if we made 100% of all new car sales today EV the grid could keep up.
A game I'm playing recently started with AI generated art, then has their artists adjust it or re-do it later when they have time.

That is 2D though.
What kinds of cool things are people doing with Elixir these days, where they feel it's a really good fit for the problem domain?
If you consider the absence of evidence as evidence of absence then sure 99% above the board. If on the other hand you consider that any hint of misdoing by prosecutors, much less lying to a judge in any context, much less within a secret national security court, as smoke that may or may not indicate fire in other places, then one might not be so sanguine.
Number of active maintainers is a key factor. Compare to this: https://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2023/07/msg00012.html
Amusingly, I suspect this is me falling for the "engineer" trap. Producer is clearly a technical term in that field that all to many of us think means something more nebulous. Doesn't help with "executive producer" being a thing that I know a ton of folks mean "funded."

So, whatever their technical role's name, my understanding is that they put up a lot of money for the shows to be made. And now can't show them. Is that not the case?
I was under the impression that the US government controls / owns .gov
But this clearly wasn't a question about the efficacy of waitlists in general. It was specifically asking about posting waitlists to HN (in the title).
Let’s fucking gooo
I must have missed where they discuss the type system. They go to great length to explain that there aren’t classes, methods, etc. and showcase modules such as String, but it’s not clear to me how you know what can be passed to String.whatever.
Yup! On the Data page there's an Unsubscribed list where you can import unsubbed emails. And you can include [[unsubscribe]] anywhere in an email template and that will be replaced with an unsubscribe link which the user can click.
.gov is managed by the US government in the exact way you describe. There is nothing "inherently international" about it. It isn't meant for anyone outside of US government agencies.
That's extortion, not blackmail.
"Office value" has zero benefit for society. Offices take living space away and high valuation leads to overcrowding, high rents for startups.

The only people who want high office valuations are large real estate investors and hedge funds.
Had another country had a primary role in inventing the internet, they would probably have it (or more likely, the US would be .gov.us and everyone else would be whatever they are today).
Where are you getting the "vastly larger installed base"? On popcon riscv64 is a lot higher than sh4: https://popcon.debian.org/stat/submission-1year.png

There may be more hardware out there with SH4 processors, like some NAS boxes, but are they using or contributing to Debian? And when I look at a list of hardware with SuperH processors, half of the links are broken links: https://elinux.org/Processors#SuperH

SuperH seems like a niche architecture mostly supported by a single vendor and available in a few devices mostly in the Japanese market, without a huge amount of use in the Debian community.

RISC-V may not yet have as much extant hardware available, but there's tons of active development, and the open licensing model means that a lot of companies are working on RISC-V chips, which will then flow into hardware.
One thing that Yocto (and buildroot) do really well is reproducibility.

When building Debian/Ubuntu based firmware, you don't really know what package versions you'll get unless you are mirroring the package tree yourself.

If you don't, then any build-flow that involves apt-upgrading or apt-installing packages (yes, even Docker builds) has no guarantee that you'll get an equivalent result if you rerun it 3 months later.
If you send through Cloudflare Workers using MailChannels, the sending is free with no cap.
We do have gc.ca, but I think it’s maybe legacy? https://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/tbsc-fsco/sc-hme.jsp?lang=en... works but servicecanada.gc.ca redirects to canada.ca
> Your idea directly incentivizes drug companies to choose patients more likely to make their drugs look better.

Yes. So? The whole patient group in question is destined to die fast. The best we currently can offer them is aleviate their discomfort and help them come to terms with their demise. If the drug company can identify a subgroup who they can possibly save and actually help those that is winning.

> You, however, don't seem to understand statistics or economics.

And you are abrasive and rude. These exclamations don’t add much of anything to the conversation. If there is something particular I am overlooking please adress that instead of speculating about the areas you think I am deficient in. Thank you.

You are aproaching it as if the question we are asking is if this is the best study design. But that is not the question we are asking. There is a patient who we believe is about to die soon. In comes a drug manufacturer and says to the patient: “you do not have to die. I think I have the cure for you”. The patient wants the drug the drug manufacturer is offering. The question is if we are to interject and stop the drug manufacturer giving the patient the drug, and if so under what circumstances.

I am saying: “yes, we should stop the drug manufacturer if the drug is not proven to be effective yet, and he is asking for money for it. There is too much of a chance that the drug manufacturer is a snake oil salesman in disguise and only wants to extract the wealth from the patient and the patient’s family. But if he is honest they can give the drug for free.”

In turn you are saying. “We should stop the drug manufacturer giving the unproven drug to the dying patient even if they are giving it for free, because it is possible that they cherry picked this patient. So though luck dear patient, you must die in the name of scientific rigour. I hope you understand.”

Do I understand you right?
My guess is that it’s because the US built the thing, they decided .gov was to be for US Government sites. Then when other countries joined they got their own TLDs, which they added a .gov.<tld> to for their own purposes.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/.gov (Which seems to make my guess right, .gov is operated by the US Government)
What says it has to be listed here?
Great? The community already did it with llama.cpp. Knowing the memory bandwidth bottleneck I can't imagine phones are going to do very well. But hey, llamas (1 and 2) run on rpi4, so it'll work. Just really, unusably, slow.
All of those jobs should pay MUCH more.
I don't think it's a that strange comparison when you start looking at the end customers. There's certainly a market, mainly small to medium scale industrial automation, that really wants to write custom software to control machinery, but doesn't have the necessary background to run a meta-distribution system like Yocto.

Most SoC vendors provide a Debian image precisely for this market segment. The thing is, a lot of the guys who need a Linux embedded system are not embedded engineers, so they greatly benefit from having something like Debian, which has infinite resources to build upon.

Kannon isn't even mentioned in the older article.

Note that I am not claiming that Deutsche's IT department is no longer dysfunctional! Just nothing in TFA provides convincing evidence about the current state of affairs.
In my experience, applying the same mindset and efforts to interfaces for which the principal user is not a developer also yield similar benefits.

Good interfaces are retroactively obvious. Not like my modern microwave.
for all this talk of tragic failures, it is an extremely rich country, and Toyota is #1 automaker in the world. So compared to wars and true craziness elsewhere, they are still facing just the first-world problems.
Does our CA/browser infrastructure prevent the government from registering a trusted .gov CA instead of a trusted root CA?
I’m surprised how many people here aren’t aware of this.
> His advice contradicted my idea that a great senior dev should learn better communication or management.

What are interfaces if not ways to communicate?
DietPi is an optimal choice, I agree. Especially for building a server.
my 2 cents are two ignobel papers formthe same italian physic professor.

The firs one form 2010 tries to find using multi agents simulation the best approach to solve the Peter Principle in organizations (If you do not know what is the Peter principle is the reason why your boss is so incompetent but still earns more than you)

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037843710...

the second is from the same author a work (ignobel 2022) that demonstrate that in the long run it does not matter how prepared and skilled you are.Your income depends more from the fortune and chances that you had in your life than on how prepared you are.

Then where are all their Prime vehicles that have had a huge waitlist for years?

Toyota is just not delivering on the EV front at all. They could be cleaning up by stealing some of the Model Y customers back by selling a ton of RAV4s, especially the Prime versions.
Anything soft real time is a great fit. We push data to clients every 3 minutes or when specific events arrive. It was super easy to build with out of the box tools and just works.
Isn't it a challenge today to run a large LLM on a CPU/GPU as those found in mobile phones?

I would have thought that only the information that it might be possible, is a good news?
Going open source will not solve your problems. The issue is that youre asking customers to open database access to you/your company. The reason why the method youve chosen isnt already out there is because of all the implications it has.

You better have one hell of a security team to ensure youre locked down tighter than a ducks ass. Look at how many data breaches there have been, even in the past year.

The solution is to either make an SDK or API as already suggested by others, and giving customers endpoints to manage their lists.
> Three millennia ago, man once again struggled to find reality between the proliferation of false idols. Every city in Mesopotamia, then the richest and most developed center of civilization, had its own cults and gods. For a camp of nomadic herdsmen like Terah and his son Abram, it all looked very suspicious.

This seems to be the main thrust. Abraham : Mesopotamia :: Trad values : Modern society's values. A flimsy argument that comes from an extremely shallow understanding of what little we know of ancient history.
On my phone I just get a drawing of an alien spaceship? I tried loading it through an archive (and I do get the front page of a web book) but none of the links work there.
It's an article written by someone who doesn't know what an operating system is.

That’s an incredible story, thanks for sharing it!
Yocto has no place on any machine that isn't heavily resource constrained. A "normal" OS like Debian gives you multitudes of advantages at the cost of a little extra disk space: thousands of packages available with one command, tons of available tools, support for many different architectures, cross-building. AND you can do both at the same time. At $JOB we have hardware with a vendor-provided yocto thing that has some binary hardware drivers. So we can't dump yocto completely. Instead we have Debian running in a chroot, talking to the binary driver running in native yocto via a pipe. Recommended!
I don't think thats clear at all. We have three people in this thread already confused on the issue.

I think the poster wasn't talking of the US government but of knowing which government a domain is related to by just looking at it. ".gov" is not clear while ".gov.uk" is clear due to the ccTLD.

> but isn't .gov "clearly affiliated to and managed by" the US government

I would say no. What makes it clear to you?
But they are a lot harder to drive, mainly because you have not got any engine noise feedback.

Just like if I were to buy a Porsche with a flappy paddle gearbox, I'd ask their Sonderwunsch dept, to put a clutch peddle in, for those times I need to dip the clutch in order to gain control of the vehicle when driving on the limit because of the reasons why the 930 got its nickname the Widow Maker.

At best all I could do at the moment with a flappy paddle gearbox is try to boot the gearbox into a high gear like 6 or 7 and hope it can change gear fast enough whilst hoping the engine is not too powerful to act like the handbrake has been pulled up unceremoniously when taking my foot off the accelerator.

Now where in the controls do I alter the regen amount on an electric car, in order to stop it from contributing to an accident when driving on the limit? I bet its not a single action control, but something buried deep inside a menu somewhere. Of course the added weight of the batteries and thus increased weight of the vehicle, makes the experience much more like driving an electric train on the open road, stable and safe most of the time, but one hell of an accident when one does occur!
I agree that there is no absolute best interface, and a good interface will be battle-tested and motivated by real problems. As with all design, there are certain intuitions you develop over time that are widely applicable. You can eliminate a lot of errors up front that way.
I used to do contracting work for a state government agency (that also owned the .gov and .us domains), and they had rules about what could be hosted on .gov vs. .us that were sufficiently restrictive that I was told on the first day that we only ever deploy things to .us. Perhaps something similar exists for NY, and/or that "rule" was actually federal?

Will US citizens also be required to answer stupid questions like if they're planning to do terrorism in the EU?
Perhaps pay attention to the topic of the thread, and not treat every Tesla discussion as an opportunity to prove your loyalty and defend the honor of Elon. We are literally discussing the idea that Toyota can take their time to get something right, because Tesla has done the same thing, to great success.
Tell that to the Chinese who are not subject to the diversity standards and see how their economy is doing. They could accelerate the domination if only they diversified.
The downside to OpenBSD to understand what you are using and monitor how to keep it going from release to release.
That's not quite true. First of all, the anti-tivoization clause only applies to things "normally used for personal, family, or household purposes" or things "sold for incorporation into a dwelling". You can run GPLv3 software on your MRI machine as much as you want, without having to let anyone else install their own version of it.

Second of all, even for consumer products, you can still make it so that you no longer trust machines that have been tampered with -- as long as you still let the person execute their own code. For example, Chromebooks getting put into developer mode by removing a screw could be cut off from cloud resources, or a phone screaming at you on boot that it's no longer trustworthy.
Apple Newton??

Curious though, is there a way to get it on an iPhone in the built in Books app?
Even if you have an angle, the house still wins. If you buy all the possible tickets for a large progressive jackpot, it doesn't hurt the house at all. They get their commission on all those tickets, the jackpot money comes from the players, and the house has to pay out the required % one day or another.
Well, since we were just talking about how dysfunctional IT traditional banks are in germany, maybe in this context a -move fast and break things- attitude is appreciated?
Briefly scrolling through the the list for really weird ones and “ war-on-pineapple.com” jumped out at me.

Turns out it’s not a USDA campaign, but is associated with a CISA campaign to explain foreign influence operations focused on divisiveness.

CISA produced a quite good one pager: https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/19_100...

Sadly the domain is inactive, but they helpfully included an archive.org to show some of the additional content (how the CISA director executed a pineapple op on Twitter):

And for the record- pepperoni pineapple jalapeño pizza is delicious.
I have to say I agree with this. Ukraine has very different values than the EU and corruption/oligarchy is still rampant.

We have to be careful which countries we let in as we have already made this mistake with Hungary. Right now there isn't even a way to kick them out again. The idealistic view that joining the EU will automatically fix their society is clearly wrong. If you see other eastern European countries like Romania where even their own president protests (in vain) on the street for their corrupt government to go it's clear to me that this process should be stricter.

But all this seems to be overlooked in favor of geopolitical concerns (giving Putin the finger and territorial expansion)

This is not about the Ukrainian people by the way. They're mostly nice except the Russian-friendly ones in the East. But it's their government and economic model. It's the same way the average Russian doesn't even like Putin but has no way to remove him.

Zelensky is a good guy but he can't fight the war and fix his country at the same time. Also we have to worry about who comes next, after all Hungary was a decent country when they joined, Orban only came later.
I love Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView. A drawback is the size of the community, and as a function of that, availability of libraries for various things. It is not bad. It is also not great. That said, the community itself deserves high marks for their willingness to help and do so in a friendly manner.

Support for script-driven fullscreen mode is a big plus. You keep support for that and I will keep the browser.

I have a Laptop with 2 video Chips, Intel and Nvidia.

The Nvidia chip gets very hot, even when I disable it on boot. The CPU Temp stays low.

The Nvidia chip is in the lower left corner of the Laptop, and it cannot be disabled by a BIOS Switch. Since NetBSD has Nouveau support, I want to be sure 10.0 BETA supports that specific chip before deciding what to do.

FWIW, same thing heat issue happens with OpenBSD, but OpenBSD has no Nvidia support, luckily OpenBSD is able to ignore it. Slackware, no issue with Nouveau and heat.

Parts of the US grid are barely able to handle the load today. Rolling blackouts have been used in some areas. There may be enough total capacity to handle more use, but peak demand levels are already straining the system.

The basic data types work with modules of the same name generally. String module functions work on UTF8 but strings. If you aren’t sure you can run the h() function in an ice shell on the module and function, e.g. h Kernel.+ or whatever.
It took me until the last 3 paragraphs to realize they meant ux and not Java interfaces. Maybe I've been writing too much Java recently but I feel like it could be clearer.
