I don't really agree with any of that. You seem to be really trying hard to draw lines to make these seem more than they are.

Economics is complicated because at a fundamental level you're trying to understand people and their decisions. Sorry but you're really never going to "solve" that problem. Stuff will forever be a theory.

You are also assuming that the economist is teaching this and saying "this is how it works, it's 100% accurate" and not starting off with "this is a theory, and we work towards making it better over time with new data and new ideas." Just because something may not be 100% perfect does not mean you don't strive to improve what you have and you won't improve what you have if you just let it rot on the vine and not teach the next generation.

The biology one is even more convoluted. Having an _interest_ in something does not mean you have to "be" the interest. A simple example, I work to live, not live to work. I am not my work. My work is only here to support me living my life. You are claiming that the biologist is a failure because they didn't want, or couldn't, create offspring despite their interest being in evolutionary biology. That's some kind of weird argument to make there man...
Uh, first time hearing mmtk. Thanks for the link!
If (and it's a huge if that we are no where near) we created a super intelligent, general ai, how would you keep it from accessing things it shouldn't? It would be smarter than the world's best hacking team and work 24/7. That's sort of the deus ex machina of AI...
As a side note , pretty sure 90% of stable diffusion generated images is porn. If you go to civitai and browse for the top images, it's mostly that. I assume it's the case here as well.
i see the word "personas" and immediately think: have you thought about how your platform could be used by plural systems, or people with dissociative identity disorder, who have multiple entities in one body? cohost allows multiple "pages" per account, completely unlinked and independent from each other, and this is absolutely invaluable for systems. how do these "personas" stack up?

(i could be entirely misunderstanding what "persona" means, but the question still stands)

the reason i wonder this is because we are a system with dissociative identity disorder and we would want to be able to express ourselves individually. on HN we do share one account but on cohost we each have our own pages

here is a resource explaining plurality: https://morethanone.info
Well, you can always attempt to catch the CPU cycle counter overflow (happens at roughly 10Hz on current machines), adding up the carries and add it to a nanosecond counter shifted up by a few bits. Problem with the CPU cycle counter is, that it's not in lockstep with the HPTC, due to dynamic frequency scaling.

If you really, really, really need system wide, nanosecond precision timestamps, you'll have to resort to dedicated hardware incrementing a counter at the desired rate, and with a well known latency for each read access. On the hardware and driver level you'd have some MMIO port mapped into user space with an identity transform between bus address and process address space.

However this still doesn't solve the problem, of the scheduler being able to throw in several milliseconds between reading the high precision timer value into a register and writing it back into the memory holding the timestamp variable. Seriously, on your typical computer system software derived timestamps at more than 100µs resolution are kind of bogus.
as long as it's about content they generated which weren't modified (at most cropped, scaled) this is quite viable

you e. g. can encode a subtle pattern in the generated image which surives compression and isn't really human visible

then you make a browser extension to spot that pattern and indicate it to the users "in some way"

given that there is a overlap between AI company owners and biggest browser producers and mobile OS vendors this doesn't even need to be an extension but can be build in

obviously any bad actor is likely able to remove it or otherwise still trick users
I thought clock_gettime() usually does use rdtsc(p) on Linux? Possibly depending on the particular clock type (montonic, realtime, etc). Either way I'd be interested in knowing more.
If you are taking a slice of your free time just to go through this whole process to create a PR, and you know you will never get that time back, and your only message is: Taiwan is not a country, then either you are a troll or hate-fueled person. There is no middle ground, just read this part of their comment:

> TaiWan is not a country, is essentially a province of China. currently it's a district because of some history reasons.
> So, TaiWan flag should not be placed along with other REAL country flags, It's a big misleading to website visitors.

This is not just a disagreement.

As discussed in one of the decommissioning articles someone else posted, it does make the beam dumb radioactive! I hadn't thought about it but it makes sense with how much energy you are pumping into not that many atoms in the end, and when you do that, you tend to get radioactive atoms.

Yes, when it is there. At the moment it is only propaganda in sight.
Before freeserv existed in the UK we didn't have a flat rate and a 800 number you could call into, you dialed a local number and paid by the minute, mum limited me to 2 hours a day and the she would take the RJ9 cable to enforce it.

One afternoon at lunch break at school I went down to the local elections store and used 2 days worth of lunch money to buy a secret RJ9.

After mum went to bed I'd sneak out my cable and dial up, spend all night online and hide it again in the morning.

Well... I ran up a 500 pound bill, I came home from school at the end of that month to a furious mum crying because we certainly couldn't afford it.

Mum called BT and explain what I'd done, and that it was unauthorized use, thank god BT nulled my contraband internet usage but it was a valuable lesson in doing as your parents say.

Really really really greatful freeserv popped up, although they eventually banned me for abusing "unlimited" (then I just got my uncle to create a new account for me).
Ask HN: On Toilet Paper Consumption

Guesses/Estimations welcomed. If you work in the industry and have direct observations or know someone who have - please share.
Totally agreed. Also, now I am going to start using that phrase mashed up with an Archer reference when discussing security controls - "Do you want SCIFs? Because that's how you get SCIF's." LOL.
Ha, this reminds me of getting my first ISP account cancelled when I exceeded their web hosting bandwidth limit. The limit was 150 MB (I think per month? This was 1995, but even for back then, that seems awfully low…), and my pages racked up something like 450 MB of transfers. The network administrator was quite displeased with me.

I don’t know what’s wrong with Gene Forney, I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to reminisce about those times - even if only as a reminder of how far we’ve come since then!
Unfortunately not sadly - we'd love to but the tax categories prevent us from working with any site where the products aren't yours. This is because it takes on all the tax liability.

Stripe are awesome for that (can appreciate the costs stack up internationally though). At your avg transaction size I'm not sure I'd know anything cheaper that's worth the extra work.

Best of Luck!

If it doesn't make you uncomfortable, I'd like to know, how much siblings/cousins have you?

I have the hypothesis shifting demographics made it harder for people to leverage their inner social circle to bootstrap relationships. Say, if the world averaged 3 children/couple, across 2 generations that means each grandchildren will have on average two siblings and six cousins. That is a solid baseline of socialization, through their extended family people would know more people. With 2 children/couple those numbers would fall to 1 and 2, and with 1 child/couple, to 0 and 0.

People can compensate with other socialization sources, like school, but we and people we know there tend to move and drift away from each other. On the other hand, our relatives tend to stick in our lives, for better and worse.
I like sprints because they're discrete. We agree to a certain bit of work that can get done in a certain period, and we do our best to complete it. It helps us to think about breaking up our tasks, and how tasks can be broken up. At the end of the sprint, we get to take a bit of a breath, and prepare for more upcoming work.

Kanban style means that it's just a marathon. There's no time to stop and take a breath, there's no time to celebrate anything that gets done, because the workstream is just infinite instead of divided.

That's my two cents, anyway.
Quenching a magnet is the result of poor planning and poor maintenance. The only time I ever hear about magnets quenching is at CERN. I remember they quenched ~40 at once when they first turned it on, a multi-million dollar error. What the hell are they up to over there!?
I've used Vultr for several years (hobby projects) with no issues. My favorite feature is having a BGP session from my VM, which is unusual among cloud providers. I have an AS and am able to advertise my own IPs from multiple Vultr instances (anycast).
I use Azure.

When I need to provision anything I have a powershell script that interacts with Azure CLI.

My script sets up a new resource group for every service we create, logging, key vault, webapp/functions, and if needed some kind of data storage or queuing.

In my powershell script I can via a variable indicate which environment I want to spin up: dev, staging, prod.

I have one yaml file which is for my build and a build trigger which points to the above powershell script with the given environment.

All environments: dev, staging or prod are setup manually with manual user assignments for deployment access etc.

It's really lightweight but I also believe it's lightweight because we run a small services setup where each service takes care of its own provisioning.

Terraform and Yaml are so verbose but that's not the most problematic. You can't execute those files from your local machine.
I don't want to sound dismissive but... Well yeah.

We already know humans are dangerous. And that is humans who are conditioned to be social, and who have empathy and who rely on other humans for all sorts of things. Plus with fear of a legal system punishing them.

Now imagine a human like intelligence without empathy, that is not conditioned from childhood to be social, and that is inherently threatened by us and not reliant on us. Would you want that guy living next door?

Oh and it's 100x smarter than you.

I find that I crave the salt in certain conditions, like on hot days when I drink more liquids than usual. A cup of Ramen really does the trick then. A matter of taste perhaps but the default recipe on Maruchan pouches is a bit too salty for me, so I have it dilute. This doesn't change the absolute quantity of salt ingested but just tastes better.
That's a great idea and it articulates something I have thought about the whole "use boring tech" things (which I support). It doesn't preclude letting people use the shiny new thing. You can always let them plug it in and use it. But the core of the system should be as simple as possible and based on thoroughly understood tech (from the point of view of the team in question/accessible labor market).
Special Relativity wasn't really all that special - Einstein put all the existing pieces together. Lorentz actually put it together but just didn't believe that's how the universe actually operated.

Einstein's genius was the General Theory of Relativity. That was truly original and revolutionary thought, the likes of which we only see every few hundred years.
You'll need to register with the US copyright office as soon as possible. Not doing so means that any jerk sending a DMCA, legitimate or otherwise, can sue you personally and win, even if you prove in court that you had no knowledge of the specific instance they are suing over. This comes up more than once a year on English-language social media sites with as few as 1000 users, which can be shocking to people new to operating social media and/or forums.

There are also other relevant laws like COPPA, FOSTA-SESTA and GDPR, but the timeframe for those is not particularly urgent. Additionally, if you aren't retaining legal counsel and are handling things yourself, the Australian Communications Alliance has some handy explainers on compliance with these other laws for site owners.

There are also plenty of non-country entities that have flags. I live in Buffalo, New York, USA. There's a flag for the USA, a flag for the state of New York, and even the city has its own flag[1]. So even if we accept that Taiwan isn't a country there's no reason an island can't have a flag!

Modern CPUs don't really give you accurate nanosecond-scale time stamps anyways. The CPU will randomly speed up or slow down, execute instructions out of order, and even speculatively execute instructions. Not to mention that it'll have a dozen different clocks - which are not guaranteed to be in sync.

I've been there a couple of times. I wouldn't say it's outright incorrect, but everything is very US-centric.

The place is also massive, you do get a sort of mental fatigue going through, reading, and processing all of the stuff. We were there from opening at 9 and I think we left some time around 2 or 3. And while we made it through all of the building and exhibits, we were definitely spending less time on any one thing towards the end. So if there were any real errors, if they came towards the end of the day, I'd have likely just not been paying any real attention by that time.

It's possible to argue that there's no such a thing as infinite precision floats. I.e. all objects have limited "size", and real numbers is just a nice abstraction to simplify discrete world. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finitism)

Turing machine is not such thing. At each moment in time, only finitely many cells of the tape are used. (The same applies to natural numbers, there are infinitely many of them, but each one of them has a finite description).

FWIW: I am on the bottom tier of the paid plans ($29/mo) so I could get access to the email support, and even with that their response time is still not great.

I have an ongoing issue with one of my PG clusters where one of the nodes was failing and all my attempts at fixing it are failing (mainly cloning one of the other machines to bring the cluster numbers back to normal).

I emailed my account’s support email mid Friday morning last week and did not hear back until this past Monday night.

Sucks, because like a lot of others in this thread I like what Fly is trying to do and am rooting for them, but IMO they should use a significant chunk of that funding they just received on hiring a ton of SREs and front line customer support.

EDIT: I should add, the past times I have emailed them the response time was good. It's just this most recent time was so egregious (3 days!) to get even that initial response that I bring it up.

> Yeah. People say things like "I don't like the movie because it's not what I pictured in my mind" or "the character doesn't look like what I pictured while reading the book." I always assumed they just meant what I would mean if I said something like that... based on the literal description on the page, the character in the movie doesn't match the described hair color, height, etc. But no... I have more recently realized they mean they literally have an almost photographic picture in their mind of the character as they imagine it when they are reading the book. So wild.

Yeah it's a weird experience recontextualising something that's such a qualitative difference from the norm and that crops up so frequently yet so subtly throughout your life. I read books voraciously and incredibly quickly and I'm pretty sure not having to engage in visualisation helps with that speed. And also why I found Tolkien and his endless descriptions of the scenery incredibly tedious :)
My real wife demands I have a GPS, so it's kind of limited me on what phone I can choose -- I need something dumb enough to be less of a distraction, but smart enough that I won't get lost in the wilderness.

For that reason, I'm really eyeing the Nokia 6300 4G. I'm in America and it's supported by lots of ( cheap! ) carriers. It has google maps and a couple of other applications built in, but it's otherwise a terrible phone all around, which makes me believe I won't be able to stand using it for long, so I'm excited to try it out. Or rather, buy it, and not try it out very much.

When changing my ISP I suddenly jumped in the world of IPv6 without any warning.

Oh boy.

I've been working in IT for 30 years, managed plenty of servers, host services at home, develop FOSS and whatnot but never got interested in IPv6.

And I must say that this is a scary world. Some of my devices suddenly were getting their DNS settings from something else than the DHCP, I had to learn quickly about RA and other anagrams. I was super worried about the exposition of my services - something I completely controlled in IPv4.

With this in mind, I think that IPv6 is too complicated. It does not have that sweet spot between "plug the green cable to the socket called ETH" and "I am going to try to squeeze some extra bits into the datagram".
I can tie these together. Even if the biologist is in favor of eugenics (selective breeding of humans) he probably also knows that we are not good judges of overall fitness. The econ guy may have some great ideas, but he knows the difference between theory and practice. In both cases they "know what they don't know". On a more personal level, maybe the biologist just wants to follow his heart (which is actually the correct move), and the economist likes to play it safe?

"You do you" is the correct answer in almost every case. Evolution does not pre-select and deliberately make copies. It's a process where individuals do their thing and let the chips fall where they may. The process takes care of the rest.

Ok? But you are required to motivate a decision that is based on terms, conditions, probabilities, consequences that can only be encoded at knowledge-level A. When projected down to knowledge-level C, it sounds like "otherwise bad things might happen".

The jargon is not what matters. The logic of the decision is not meaningful or believable without knowledge of the "physics of the system" at level A.
