Yes it is. However, hard-coding a file name is one of the ways to run into trouble with scripts. Unless a script meticulously cleans up after itself, there is the risk that somebody like 'root' can leave a file of that name behind and that will break future instances of the script because a normal user can't create, write to, or remove that file until root comes along and cleans it away.

However 'mktemp' will produce a new individually-named temporary file that won't clash with other users when they also use that script. And even if the script doesn't clean up after itself, like it should, the likelihood is extremely low that there will be a future name-clash.
Berlin had one of the largest pneumatic mail systems in the world. A (highly recommended) Berlin Unterwelten tour covers it. There is still a big, beautiful Rohrpost building in Mitte close to the big Synagogue.

The Real store at Leopoldplatz has a pneumatic tube system that reaches every cash register. You can see the tubes go up and along the ceiling. I believe that it's one of the failed Walmart stores from their disastrous attempts to conquer the German market.
With respect to the missions the US government cares the most about, the US did have replacements for the Shuttles. Namely Atlas V and Delta IV. After ISS construction was finished, there was little point in keeping the shuttle around just to ferry people around unsafely. Launching people into space is more of a side gig to keep a steady stream of young idealistic recruits coming in. Letting that lapse for a few years was demoralizing (less demoralizing than losing a third shuttle would have been) but not a real problem for the US government otherwise.

Incidentally, Atlas V used/uses Russian engines. Pretty bad idea in retrospect but at the time a lot of people thought it seemed reasonable.

Probably one of the benefits I gained from writing JavaScript before ES5 (although have worked with many languages, I've only used a few that were dynamic - PHP, JS, and old VB). I write my functions as early as possible, having remembered hoisting rules from JavaScript (and trying to only rely on OOP with Python where it naturally makes sense).

Looking at your Julia example, this seems much more friendly and less surprise and error-prone.
Which is neither here, nor there.

The argument was that Musk was just a lucky incompetent person, not that he was skilled but "only" among a "limited" ten million plus people in the US alone starting at the same wealth levels...

Or you still mean the first, that those say, 10 million Americans at similar wealth starting points had the chance to throw their darts, and Musk just happened by chance to hit bullseye on a major company sale/exit/buildup 4 or more times in a row, including turning out the richest man in the world by mere lucky darting?

Google will degrade their services for non-DRM browsers. They have a long history of "oops" with UA sniffs and serving slow buggy alternatives to Chrome-only JS.

You'll be filling in captchas 10 times a day, getting randomly locked out of your Google account in the name of security, and whatever new feature they add to their services, they'll find an excuse to require the DRM for it.

The writing quality of academic papers is very poor, whatever its intended characteristics are, and we deserve better.

I'm skeptical that the only way for them to be precise and technical is to make them impenetrable. I think there is a culture of academic writing (many different cultures, really) that has adopted a voice and writing style which became a parody of itself over time.

Here's a trivial example: You frequently see papers use the passive voice, something a middle school English teacher would mark with a red pen. 500 participants were asked, vs. we asked 500 participants. In what sense is the former more precise and technical? It's not. It does not convey any additional meaning. People use it to sound objective and distant, even when they really aren't.

Realistically, academic writers usually don't even think about it as much as that. They're just copying the tone of other papers, because there is a culture and it enforces certain behaviors on its members irrespective of the value.
Why does anyone care about this? You're not going to squeeze more work out of people by analyzing
or playing games with hours. You're just pissing your employees off. Get your estimates, set your deadlines, and then leave them alone as much as possible.

If that's not good enough your real problems are bad planning, poor prioritization, or just being clueless in general. You want more productivity? Fire all non-technical middle management immediately and promote technical talent from within. These idiots are the direct source of all the wasted time. They need to be babysat, maybe even more so than the kids at home, with constant meetings or multiple explanations when they've already been given enough information long ago and are also the source of burnout for the single people working at 10pm. This becomes a vicious cycle when work becomes uninspiring at best or chaotic at worst.

As the saying goes: people don't quit their job. They quit their boss.

Unless there's a separate medical system for the homeless/ mentally ill - I just don't see how it'd work. The American healthcare system is fucked, and cannot be unfucked for just the homeless (who can't pay). Most people are happy to ignore the state of affairs until there's an untreated schizophrenic hanging out in front of their favourite Avocado Toast joint.

Unless mental illness is criminalized, police have no business detaining the mentally ill or forcing them into treatment.
And "Some grizzled old pilots swear that sometimes, when the wind is just right on a quiet night, you can just about make out the double-engine-failure BONG! as the old girl is flying by; and if you’re very lucky, you might catch the faint odor of damp pilots in the air."
Transmission losses are a concern, but this is fairly irrelevant to the OP's original idea: that of producing carbon fuels in the desert and then transporting them. Most populated places in the US are pretty far from Erath, Louisiana or Cushing, Oklahoma, and we get by just fine under this arrangement.
These things are all part of Amazon, not separate companies. Moreover:

> The Amazon.com e-commerce store

This was mostly a copy of eBay which used the existing Amazon market dominance.

> Kindle (category-defining)

Kindle came after the excellent Sony e-book readers. The reason why Kindle was so much more successful was the existing market dominance of Amazon combined with the fact that they used a proprietary Kindle-specific file format to squash the competition.

> The comparison to Gates is just pathetic -- instead of Twitter and private space programs, his second act has been focused on things like food security, HIV/AIDS, and polio.

SpaceX was not a "second act", except if you count PayPal as his first successful company. SpaceX was founded before Tesla. They do offer a global satellite network which brings Internet to remote areas around the world. That's quite different from a mere "private space program". As for the Gates foundation: This is not a profit driven company, so it is difficult to estimate how successful it is relative to the funds it has. I was talking about Musk's abilities as a founder and manager, not about altruism. (He definitely did things which people might classify as altruistic, such as paying for Ukraine's Starlink access for several months.)
Zen 4 lacks AVX512_FP16 (for 16-bits IEEE floating point operations), AVX512_VP2INTERSECT and also lack the Advanced Matrix eXtension (AMX) set (if you consider that part of AVX512).

https://twitter.com/InstLatX64/status/1646471371558461445/

It's worth noting that 16-bits floating point operations are still possible on Zen 4, but using Google's BF16.

That distinction made me feel better about the whole thing. Thank you.
It depends. I'm going to speak in general terms, since I obviously don't know how every single system works, but per-console keys are used for pairing system storage to the motherboard and maybe keeping save data from being copied from user to user. Most CDNs don't really provide the option for on-the-fly per user encryption, so instead you serve up games encrypted with title keys and then issue each console a title key that's encrypted with a per-console key. Disc games need to be encrypted with keys that every system already has, otherwise you can't actually use the disc to play the game.

As for the value of being able to do 'hero attacks' on game consoles, let me point out that once you have a cleartext dump of a game, you've already done most of the work. The Xbox 360 was actually very well secured, to the point where it was easier to hack a disc drive to inject fake authentication data into a normal DVD-R than to actually hack a 360's CPU to run copied games. That's why we didn't have widely-accessible homebrew on that platform for the longest time. Furthermore, you can make emulators that just don't care about authenticating media (because why would they) and run cleartext games on those.
Yes of course. Most devices on the Internet don't have IPv4 addresses.
When this was my main focus at work, we would have thresholds for CPU utilization and memory and I/O, but you couldn't simply throw more traffic at a collection of servers until they hit one of those thresholds because most of those thresholds were engineering limits, not steady-state but also because if you did you generally had no elasticity in the system for unplanned business events. We also broke things out based on what was critical path for revenue generation vs running the business or value-add.

You also have to adjust your thresholds based on your DR/BCP plan, your fault tolerance design and operational requirements. If you were hot/cold between 2 sites or AZs with a 95% SLA but you could run things hotter than if you were hot/hot between 2 sites with a 99.9% SLA. It wasn't unusual for our CPU usage threshold to be 30%.

Ultimately the critical piece of knowledge is when your utilization vs latency curve turns into a hockey stick and knowing what the bottlenecks are that drive that. For us we had to learn the hard way exactly what kind of throughput we could expect out of each layer of our infrastructure because in many cases, the latency would spike but the utilization didn't correlate with that under stress conditions but it did under normal conditions, learning how to pick out those early warning signs was an art.

We did some analysis to determine the mix of transactions for different types of business activity (BAU, annual big event that changed a profile permanently, periodic big event that represented an impulse/one time change) and could project expected CPU utilization based on a model for each mix of transactions based on business metrics. We based all of our capacity recommendations on the business volume projections by event type so that we weren't asking our BAs to tell us things like transactions per second by API which in most cases would have just gotten us blank stares, we'd ask them to give us a sales projection and apply our model to it.

That sounds good but I cant help but be skeptical about that stat. It seems like consumption is the bottom line and I assume theyd highlight consumption of it was more favorable. What percentage of consumption is from renewables?
That doesn't make any difference. There will be websites that will only allow people using approved browsers to access them. Instead of whatever you expect, you'll get a link to download Chrome (or whatever), and possibly install $COMPANY's attestation software.

Then, people will DDOS the attestation endpoints because why not.

Yeah, I don't know where the author is getting the POWER arch connection.

I thought the IBM Z Architecture was the CISC based System 360 / 390 architecture from the 1960's. At least that is what I remember my one friend who has some mainframe experience was telling me.
IDK. There was no tl;dr, and copy/pasting to chatgtp for a summary is too much work on a page that long. I guess I'll never know.

Since when did we trust the government to give a correct answer on a complex technical subject? The person is just repeating what he was told.

There's no evidence anything of significance being recycled. All of this is projections of future recycling achievements.

Like I said, it's the same story as plastic recycling. No one should believe any of the claims made.

AGM and gel lead-acid batteries are recycled in a separate pathway compared to flooded lead-acid batteries. This is okay because there aren't that many variations and the chemistry is basically the same. Li-ion batteries on the other are effectively hundreds of different chemistries spread across many different packaging methods. It is a complexity nightmare and no one has given any answer as to how it will all be solved.
Yes, but also, wrapping the handwaving and bullshitting in a layer of obfuscation:

"Michel Foucault’s biopolitics is a faccid premonition of cyborg politics, a very open feld.
By the late twentieth century, our time, a mythic time, we
are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine
and organism—in short, cyborgs. The cyborg is our ontology; it
gives us our politics. The cyborg is a condensed image of both
imagination and material reality, the two joined centers structuring any possibility of historical transformation. In the traditions of “Western” science and politics—the tradition of racist,
male-dominant capitalism; the tradition of progress; the tradition of the appropriation of nature as resource for the productions of culture; the tradition of reproduction of the self from
the refections of the other—the relation between organism
and machine has been a border war"

That is the whole reason that made me stop using them.

Frameworks make you lose capability to write anything outside of them, locking you inside it's own Ecosystem and making you unable to write a single line of code outside of it.
Yes, but it'd be net-zero based on the carbon used to produce the fuel. In theory at least, in practice most synthetic methane has only been produced by scavenging CO2 byproducts from the chemical industry. It's not truly net-zero rather it's releasing CO2 that would have been emitted anyway. CO2 is in too small concentrations in the atmosphere to effectively capture.
I would respectfully disagree with your assessment that finding a way to safely accelerate a big rock so it misses us is cheap and easy even in a relative sense. I don't believe it is easy in any sense of the word and it is fraught with potential dangers that would be impossible to accurately predict.

For all of history humans have been going places and figuring out how to live there. Yes they've all been a different place on Earth but some of these places are so radically different from one another that the first sets of people died because there was no ability to even support them for a short time until they figured it out. We understand human biology and our needs well enough that these are problems that we could solve. It's also a scope that we can grasp. It is also not easy but most things worth doing are not easy.

Missing a giant rock heading towards you until it is too late to do anything about is a very high probability. The only way to ensure survival is to put people in more than one place. If sustainability of our species is a thing we care about then investment in N+1 redundancy for humans is a requirement.
How Do the White House’s A.I. Commitments Stack Up?
The question of what quality is is the pursuit of one HN perennial favourite, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, though that book's treatment might be slightly too enigmatic.

I've been narrowing in on notion of quality as, usually and/or generally, fitness to some purpose (which might simply be enjoyment or aesthetic response, though it's often functional). One corollary of this is that quality is dependent on the applied purpose, by which point, different assessments of quality based on different purposes will come up with different values.

Again, online voting and response / interactions metrics (votes, comments, flags, reshares where such features exist) are only a very thin view on overall quality. As the meme says, when you've got an airliner and an incapacitated pilot, one skilled pilot is worth far more than a million untrained passengers. Translating this to content moderation introduces other issues: are the skilled / trained experts operating within their inherently limited areas of expertise, are they free of any compromising influences or corruption? But in general the view that "the crowd is always right" does seem to hit real limits.

In practice, HN does put its thumb on the scale in all sorts of ways, some nuanced, some not. As of 2009 there was a list of well over 1,000 banned sites, there are permanent and temporary penalties put against sites and topics, member flags, moderator actions, banned accounts, and a few (mostly slight) privileges of karma (mostly at fairly low levels). A few accounts may benefit from name recognition or be crowd favourites (pg comes to mind).

Back in the early 8-bit days, any RAM greater than 64K and disk-based storage more than about 100K was 'looxery,lad!'.
I never made a claim on efficacy.
> I have always been curious as to why the number of GPRs were limited for so long on X86 given that the instruction set is already variable length, and the CPU have typically a very large number of internal arch-register that could be cheaply addressed.

Because it's hard-ish to wrench in the encoding bits. x86 registers are addressed via the ModR/M byte, which gives you 4 addressing modes × 2 register operands (if you have 8 registers). Note that non-register-register addressing modes include a second SIB byte which means you have up to three registers encoded in an instruction. x86-64 extended the number to 16 by adding a prefix that has 4 bits, which encoded a 32-bit/64-bit selector and 1 bit for each of the three possible registers (R, X, B). Note that to keep the prefix to only a 1-byte length, they had to reclaim 16 possible opcodes, whose space is pretty limited.

Encoding large register numbers gets pretty chonky in instruction space (3 register ids of 5 bits each is 15 bits of your instruction for operands, and that's before you start considering possible opcodes). It also increases the size of context switches (especially thread contexts), since you have to spill all of those registers even if they're not filled with useful data.

8 registers is definitely too few; it's not clear to me if the extra working set size afforded by 32 registers is worth it over the fatter instructions.
More importantly, a company of the size, scope and sophistication of Google trying to hide its fundamental redefinition of how people access the web, behind “it’s only a technical change” is unacceptable.

As if something with multiple downstream non-technical effects, is only a technical change

As if you can minimize and dismiss everyone’s fears and concerns as hollow, invalid and irrelevant by waving the magic wand of tis only a wee technical change, to be sure, to be sure

As if everyone’s protests and arguments against can be instantly hosed down, because aye, you guessed it laddie, it’s only a technical change

It’s almost as if the folks at Google think people are so stupid that not only do people not know what they’re talking about, but they’ll actually believe the lie and fall for that deception…

It’s almost as if Google was trying to gaslight the public about this…

If they end up groveling about this, I don’t think “in retrospect, we could have communicated this better” is going to cut it. This is a company the size, scope and sophistication of Google. This is not their first rodeo. They know exactly what they’re doing, and they mean to do it…
I don't have baseline for comparison - running HomeAssistant for a few months on RPi 4b, currently 34 days uptime and no issues in sight, htop processes list fits in half of the page.

Understood. At best, though, I think these takedowns are based primarily on "technical invalidation": identification of one or more faults in logic, presumption, study design, or execution, which brings enough question to the results/conclusions that it's best just to assume the paper isn't worth reading.

(put another way: many papers that contributed what appears to be new, true knowledge contain factual errors, some of them invalidating, yet the paper turned out to be correct, in terms of its conclusions, in the long run)
