This touches on the actual definition of a function, which is a mapping between sets where every element of the first set maps to exactly one element of the second set. The problem with using vectors is that vectors aren't as general as sets, so there's functions that can't be expressed using vectors. For example, vectors can't be used to handle undefined values or non-numeric elements.
> Hello World bypassing clib altogether, and talking direcly to the hardware. Apparently this is a no-no, even if it is theoretically more efficient. The bare-metal and OS dev folk are pretty much limited to using this method until their kernel boots and provides other methods, like those covered already.

This doesn't seem quite right; the code doesn't use libc, but it talks to kernel and not directly to hardware. On Linux I don't think direct syscalls are in any way "no-no". But most importantly it still doesn't work on bare-metal; indeed, the hardware has no concept of stdout
The cats that are good at rodent control, almost by definition, will not need to spend a lot of time chasing mice. They are efficient mouse catchers.

Considering the abysmal clearance rates while violent crime rates have gone down, it is clear these cats are not good at catching mice. There is some other factor at work.

You're not missing anything, that's exactly what it means. There is a reason OpenAI severely ratelimits the number of GPT-4 prompts users can make. Every token (approximately 4 letters) requires many trillions of floating point operations.

Large language models are only possible because of decades of exponential transistor density growth.
Why would you want a radon sensor in a product that does constant monitoring?

Radon concentration is not a transient state, and you need to measure it for a fairly long time to get a good idea of the true concentration.
But why? You even asked at the very beginning "I shouldn't accept just anything, right?" But why not? Like what is going to happen if someone uses a "non emoji?" Nothing. Nothing will happen.

Retarget them at religious pedophiles. The biggest pedophile problems seem to come from religious officials with the backing of their organization.

Why would the police bother to catch criminals in the big left wing cities? Carjackers are being let off without even an agreement. The electorate has clearly communicated that they don't want the laws enforced if they have disparate impact. This is democracy in action, doing the will of the people. Where is the problem?

Edit: It's not a rhetorical question. If you disagree please tell me where the problem is. I don't agree with the policy decisions in question, but I respect democracy so I live with being in the minority whose policy preferences aren't enacted. That is how the system is meant to work, right?

oh yes. ls uses 4k buffers for dirents, and in a directory with lots of entries, the time for userspace to hit the kernel to list the entities until that 4k buffer is full, back in the day, became noticable. In my dealings with a system like that, I had a hacked copy of ls that used bigger buffers so at least it wouldn't hang. Tab completion would also hang if there were too many entries.

This is because the tools that CX teams have been provided by companies like Zendesk or Intercom are no more then IFTTT widgets. These tools are rigid and scream RTFM because they’re incapable of taking action or providing anything specialized to your situation.

What you want is to be understood and treated like you’re a human with unique needs. You need someone or something to look up your account data, listen, and to act based on your situation. The current tools were never built for this.

The next generation of these CX tools will deliver this. Here are ways that they will be dramatically better for customers and companies:
- They will learn from successful interactions in the past and mirror those outcomes
- Handle customer interactions based on company policies such as escalating bugs
- They will surface new insights for the company
- Won’t hallucinate

When you watch any CX agent do their job you’ll witness them utilizing 4-5 SaaS applications to get a simple answer for a customer. The hurdle to adopt Generative AI in a company will require that companies care to build read/write APIs for these tools to utilize.
Ask HN: Is Antitrust Mostly a Farce?
I‘m starting to wonder whether most antitrust actions are mostly fake. From the perspective of the government there are many reasons to not take action, namely: great companies can have an enormous upside for countries (e.g., taxes and employment), most companies sell worldwide so downside is shared worldwide (whereas benefits flow mostly to headquarters), too strict actions may hamper innovation by signalling to innovators that you will be punished if you achieve too much, and of course big companies provide personal incentives for politicians to take no action.

So government doesn’t really have much incentive to take action. However they do have incentive to pretend that they take action.

So therefore I suspect that most antitrust is mostly a farce. Any thoughts?
That sounds awful. Impoverished areas are well known for lacking traffic calming measures leading to higher pedestrian and bike accident, this is certainly true in my home city of DC.

There's a separate problem here, which is that large heavy cars are not required to be designed in a way that takes the injury to people outside the car (pedestrians, cyclists, or in other cars) into account. This results in people buying heavy cars in order to be "safe" from other people buying heavy cars.

And while we can't build thousands of miles of new bike lanes overnight, we can definitely start the process of making new vehicles more safe to other road users today. Both are necessary, IMO.

re: injury, sure getting hit is not great, but the SUV is substantially more likely to injure or kill the pedestrian in the same collision. There's lots of data to show this.
I don't understand your objection.

You don't like the mental model (worldview)?

I gleened it from conservative economist Kevin Phillips' book Wealth & Democracy. I assume it's bog standard economic world building. Nothing I've read since has contradicted Phillips. (I'm noob, not some kind of economist. Though I did get to chat with Phillips one time and I felt like I understood his answers.)

What mental model do you prefer?

Or maybe you object to the implications ("logic") of this model. That notions like property, wealth, and government are social constructs. Just shared fictions which hopefully make the world a little bit more predictable (legible), without too much extra effort, so we can all muddle thru our daily lives.

It's not as easy as just hiring new non-union actors. Quality matters, and most of the actual good actors that audiences want to see are union members. And other unions will usually refuse to cross a picket line or work with scabs so producers would also have to hire non-union crews, drivers, and writers.

There are non-union productions. But those are mainly smaller independent projects which never bring in much revenue.
Basecamp has a really simple pricing for companies. All companies pay the same price, no matter how many users.

But they're paying less for that than before. The price power commands depends a lot on how flexible the power source is. Batteries because they provide grid stabilization can charge a premium price.

These are pretext stops. They target people they aim to escalate charges with, not dangerous drivers. That’s why they end with minor warnings.
> flipping off the drivers if they honked

Honking within urban areas is forbidden unless used to prevent immediate danger (well, in France anyway).

Honking for "educational purpose", ie to yell at someone, is a major nuisance. Every honk annoys dozens of people around the driver, wakes up babies and so on.

Friends, don't let friends honk inconsiderately.
What client do you use? I can try looking for why it would hide it from you.
Just a note: can you stagger the sensor time a bit unevenly?

Instead of 50%/50% time split, can you do something like 40%/60%? This reduces the risk of both sensors failing at once because they have approximately the same duty time.
Personally I think “post traumatic stress disorder” is more descriptive and accurate than “shell shock”. The person isn’t shocked, they’re traumatized. Also it turns out different things can make sense to people in different ways. Probably the term is less important than the understanding.

I will say it took us a long while to figure out that multiplication and addition were commutative, and the times tables helped drive that home.

It took me a long time to figure them out, and when it finally came to a parent-teacher conference to discuss why I was having trouble with math, I count that as the beginning of my adventure in self-directed study. I took teachers entirely at their word at 8 years old, and it simply did not occur to me that they were just another human with ideas that might or might not be universal. "This is how you learn this" became an opinion, not a fact, and it was off to the races for me. I also found myself from time to time playing ersatz tutor because some other kids also didn't understand the teacher, and occasionally they liked my re-interpretation better.

There is something about realizing you've been sweating bullets for something that is actually easy. Few lessons stick around like that, but the attendant feelings are complex and often not fun or helpful.

There are only 4 choices for developed countries:

1. be destitute in the old age - no one likes it

2. have children and prepare the next generation - barely happening

3. mass immigration - that changes culture and your native population may not like it. See: Italy (Meloni), France (Le Pen), UK (Brexit & immigrants), Sweden...

4. count on technology (AI, Robots) to take care of elders - it just seems dystopian if the youngest person in one's town is 17yo. Kind of like "Children of Men".

Yes, although they touched on the impact of the bomb on Japanese civilians a little, they didn't really do it justice, and it's a shame because I think it would have really provided an important insight on why Oppenheimer's views changed over time.

The movie lacked a cohesive story anyway, so that would have added some meaning.
Leibnitz followed very closely in the footsteps of the Neoplatonists and he was what you'd call a rationalist's rationalist. He would be later rebuked by Hume (the famous is-ought problem made moral—ought—problems fundamentally distinct from rational—is—problems) and Kant would put the nail in the coffin of the rationalist-empiricist debate in the next century (with his earth-shattering Critique of Pure Reason). And if that wasn't enough, as the logical positivists of the early 20th century were still clinging to some form of mathematical completeness, Gödel proved that the project dreamed up by Leibnitz (and more distantly by Plato) was a dead end, to Wittgenstein’s, Russell’s and many others' dismay. Some things (even true ones!) are simply unprovable.

I love this story as it spans more than 2000 years, and even though the idea itself proved to be untenable, this search gave us the enlightenment, the industrial revolution, the computer age, and beyond.
> I appreciate when things come up again

My own position on this is that there is difference.

If, like today's post, we're talking about what in forum-slang would be a "bump" post, then as far as I'm concerned it has near-zero value. Its basically just attention seeking if we're being honest.

Meanwhile if it's re-posting a link but in the context of a significant change, for example a new version with major new features, then obviously it's a different kettle of fish altogether. That's obviously perfectly fine.
> While it is one use case, it is not all use cases.

In other words, no, you have no personal experience to back up your claims. You should not presume to speak of what you do not know.

As for the "cult" accusation, historially, militaries that work like cults do not win wars. Militaries that win wars have esprit de corps, but that is not the same as a cult. A cult has no objective purpose outside the people who run it. A military does--or at least, a military that can actually win wars does.
