About me: Spent 2 years at Oracle working on the PL/SQL comipler team, this included: requirements gathering with end-users for new language features / types, design, and implementation. Networking code for client-server and sharded models. Prototype of ML model to detect transactions with high risk of bugs.

I have spent the past 2 years in academia (Brown University) and I'm looking to transition to an industry position. My research has been focused on data simulation (for theoretical model validation and data augmentation), and novel deep learning methods for classification, segmentation, and generative tasks.

I'm looking for very technically-involved roles, ideally working on backend development, systems programming, data engineering, or machine learning.
Delusional.

The drug that kills and ruins most lives on the planet is alcohol followed by food (diabetes). And the abuse of alcohol and food has the same root that drug abuse does: mental health and education.

And let's not even start talking about the damage of legal drugs (medicines) on society at all age tiers.
> The "tough on crime" mentality says, "well, this should give you an incentive to stop using drugs",

How many times did I have to say that I don't care if people use drugs?

_I don't care if people use drugs._ I'm not interested in forcing folks into rehab.

But this crap:

> That doesn't work in a society in which housing is not guaranteed...

> To spell it out: if you don't provide housing options for people who use drugs

Is a BS excuse to let folks commit THEFT and ASSAULT because It's Really The System, or expose kids to fent smoke on the train because It's Really The System, or have kids step over zombies on the sidewalk because It's Really The System, or have children and women (and some men) harassed or threatened by crazies because It's Really The System, etc.

I don't care about the drug use. I worked with homeless folks for years and most of them are not OD'ing in public parks or harassing folks on the sidewalk. Stop making excuses for criminal behavior.
The object going onto the queue is the shared memory. The queue itself is essentially a fancy type of lock.

Yes you could use multiple processes, but you have the extra expense of serialisation, or you could use shared memory but you'd have to administer that and you'd still have the expense of context switches. And inevitably, yes, there is some actual shared state like a logger and modules that you've loaded, which again would be a pain in multiple processes.

You can call a Python thread plus a queue an Erlang process if you like, or say that I should use Erlang processes instead. But the fact is, the Python version works perfectly well for many problems. It does all the things that you typically need if threads: shares state (via the queues), let's you concurrently use the CPU (via C libraries that release the GIL – but no GIL would be even better), and writing blocking IO if you wish. Not missing the point at all.

The developers of Python didn't "suck as programmers" and it doesn't help your point to claim they do. Guido choose to use the GIL because he was OK with multiple threads but not at the expense of single thread performance, and no one showed any solution to that that beats the GIL – until now. (Personally I think the trade off was wrong, and a small hit to single threaded performance would have been with it. But that's different from being ignorant to the fact there was an actual reason.)

None of the things you listed are limited by the conductors in them. The efficiency of high voltage AC power lines is limited by capacitive coupling to ground. Battery charging is limited by the cell chemistry. CPU heat output is limited by the resistance of the semiconductors.

Turns out metals (in particular copper) are already incredibly good conductors.

Legal guns do way less damage than drugs by a long shot. Even illegal guns kill less people, and you don’t solve illegal guns by banning guns, the millions of illegal guns aren’t going to turn in themselves

We do need gun control but it is an absurdly tiny issue compared to drugs. Barely anyone dies in mass shootings with legally purchased guns, it’s up there with lightning strikes
Firefox is great but I can't make it my daily driver because of two issues:

Interesting mix of pointers in this article.

What I was looking for, but could not find in the article, is some more information about time perception [1].

It amazes me to no end that time seems to be passing faster and faster now that I grow older. In my youth, 10 minutes used to take ages, but now a month passes in a blink.

If any of you startup guys can find a way to slow this down, I'll buy a subscription.

I use PoE extractors to power a few different devices in my house, including RPis and some non-PoE switches. It's ridiculously easy to use them, but you generally need to know the voltage you want ahead of time.
Look at the actual age distributions rather than collapsing the data into a single number.

> Portugal had more rules requiring treatment which is what made it effective...Oregon did not choose that route.

As I explained in a sibling comment, requiring treatment is not the difference. Very few people who use drugs in Portugal are subject to mandatory drug treatment.

The key difference is that Portugal has a radically different housing policy than Oregon. As of 2019, housing is a formal legal right (and even before 2019, it was much closer to a de facto right than it was to Oregon's current model, which is "if you can't pay for a roof, pitch your tent over there, and hope we don't arrest you for vagrancy").

Most people who use drugs do not meet clinical criteria for addiction, so drug treatment programs are irrelevant and a waste of money for them. For those who do, drug treatment programs are still a waste of money unless they have stable housing, because it is essentially impossible to achieve and maintain sobriety without stable housing.
We powered the Mac Mini M1 using 12V DC, bypassing the built-in AC power adapter, and used it for some quadruped robot experiments. Some details on the connector are here:

Legalization and decriminalization are two different things. I am all for decriminalizing. From a personal viewpoint, I don’t think drugs should be legalized.

And as far as the legal administration etc., that already exists in SF and it has had a poor track record of helping people.

Limiting access to any kind of food AFAIK is extremely controversial!

For starters there are the massive astro-turf campaigns that make a lot of noise. Beyond this, food regulation is catnip for the culture wars.

Articles talking about "REST" and "HATEOAS" really need to define "client". Do they mean a person? Do they mean a web browser? Do they mean an application performing actions autonomously?

> A REST client needs little to no prior knowledge about how to interact with an application or server beyond a generic understanding of hypermedia.

If in this instance, "REST client" means an application performing actions autonomously, I don't see how this statement could possibly be true. Someone writing a client will need to know how the server is going to return responses to requests. It needs to know what operations the server supports.

It really seems like REST and HATEOAS, using the strictest definitions, really just mean server-side HTML rendering, which is nothing new. I figured we swapped to client-side rendering (And therefore, servers sending XML or JSON, and the client handles putting it into the page) to reduce server-side loads and the cost of increased CPU usage client-side.
Because cannabis can have effects up to a week after if I remember correctly. And it’s not very predictable. Alcohol is cleared out at a predictable rate and has no effect after a few hours, you’ll just be tired.
Honestly, with that kind of superconductor, it may be easier and cheaper to cover the ground in superconducting material, and keep the magnets (or superconducting electromagnet) on your hoverboard!
OpenUSD has a plaintext encoding mode, which by convention gets saved as .usda. The standard OpenUSD SDK contains two command line utilities `usdcat` and `usdedit` to do plaintext editing, but most programs using the SDK have better editing functionality by directly using the C/Python SDK.

I can navigate around my city effortlessly, but I’m not someone-else’s-street smart. Don’t expect me to know the rules in Tokyo, NYC or Rio. I don’t expect a Japanese person to know the NYC, Rio, or SF rules and I don’t expect a Brazilian to know them either.

I rode with him anyways because all this people on hacker news told me using an app instead of a Taxi would mean I would lose my freedom. I have him an address… which he put in an app that surely is the exception and doesn’t misuse it. Realistically, this taxi driver just didn’t want to drive to Manhattan during rush hour, and knew damn well where Chelsea is. We all knew this was the reality. But at the airport there’s a queue for taxis and he was next in line and had to take me.

I actually took a taxi instead of Uber because in NY they use regulatory capture to ensure they have better airport placement than Uber and I chose that “convenience”. I think Uber is way more freeing than a taxi because I can go to almost any metro in the US and get a ride without having to learn the local system. It’s a tap away. It’s way more freeing and has emboldened me to explore more than I might otherwise. That is freedom.
With software support it doesn't have to be any harder than just saving a file. You set up your keystore once and then your production software does the rest. I'm sure there's a lot of popular digital artists who'd like for people to be able distinguish their art from generated stuff that imitates their personal style.

>Also, I still don't see how it's fair and reasonable to put this sort of burden on innocent others when they aren't the ones making the problem.

Reality is what it is. There's no point in arguing about what's fair or not fair, what matters is what solves the problem. If you were fighting your evil clone and I had to shoot the fake one, would you say "why should I have to prove I'm myself? My fake should just turn himself in", knowing you're risking getting shot because he'll do the exact same thing?
But nobody would propose making sugar illegal and putting people that eat sugar in jail.
The US has had a heavy hand in this situation for a decade. You can argue that it's the right thing to do, but it's not like the US just got involved once Russia invaded.
Clearly, I do, yes! But I've given up on trying to nail down what the issue actually is after about a year of trying. It exists on all of my machines, so it's likely related to some other piece of software I commonly use. I just don't know which one.

I am not asserting that FF is bad and nobody should use it. I'm asserting that there are some people (at least one, anyway) who can't use it. Shaming people for not using FF is, therefore, uncalled for.
The theory behind HATEOAS was bullshit until LLMs made smart clients plausible. But LLMs don’t need HATEOAS to discover an API. So turns out HATEOAS is still bullshit.

To share, a friend of mine has brought some edibles to his doctor and tested positive for small amounts of trace metals. This is from a legitimate dispensary but I imagine they are not really put thru their proper traces when testing for quality control. Its prolly fine once in a blue moon but if you are consuming edibles regularly, it can stack and create worse problems then smoking it. Smoking is a bit more pure in some ways as its only one ingredient VS. who knows how the edibles are made, the process they use, how much it is actually regulated, packaged, etc. Ive had edibles that get me pretty lifted and the next day I'm pretty good and not beat up too bad. Then ill try a different brand and it'll get me just as lifted, but I feel way more sluggish, like it took more out of me. The best I found in terms of taking a toll on your body, is the water-soluble edibles. Those seem to be cleaner.

At the very best, cannabis is neutral. You can have positive experiences but you pay a price with your body over time. Its unsustainable if you are looking to follow a trajectory that is positive over time for your physical, spiritual, and mental well-being. If you are looking to have transformative experiences in your life, I dont think cannabis will help. If you are looking to chill, cannabis really works
That is slow, and slow is not that bad.

Gen AI at high speeds is the bigger issue, IMO...
Using derivative functions in alerts to look at speed or acceleration is a game changer.

You really care about time to fill (speed), and whether your system has gone nuts and is logging faster and faster than normal (acceleration).

Disk usage is X says do little.

Disk utilization rate is Y therefore will fill by YYYYMMDD is great.

Disk utilization rate change has gone off the chart so a process crapped itself and will fill the disk in 5 mins is life saving.

> I guess as long as it's not Americans in body bags, we're in the clear?

More American private military contractors died in Afghanistan than American military. I don't think anyone noticed.

So I'd amend that to "American troops in body bags".
It matters whether the CCDH's accusation was true or false.

US free speech law, in practice, does usually protect liars. That's generally a good thing, because there's a lot of grey area. But I think it's terrible if we, as outside observers, get caught up focusing on the legal wranglings and who we like and dislike, before seriously asking the question of what's true.

I don't have access to much in the way of data about Twitter. My own feed is healthy, but it's mostly composed of people I know who I've chosen carefully, so people who follow more indiscriminately might have a different experience. But I did check out the CCDH's recent blog posts, randomly clicked on one about LLMs, and it seemed pretty dishonest to me (they prompted it with jailbreaking prompts, then in the summary made it sound like it would say offensive things without jailbreaking.)
Right, I mostly get that. I have literally never seen anyone use a computer at airport security. As such, the joke falls rather flat. Would be better on a story about using emacs on your phone?
I assume this would rule out things like fusion reactors, MRIs, and other high energy stuff. Would it still be revolutionary tech with a 150 mA limit?
Fair point. I would argue that Hawaii also falls into this category (and it seems reflected in their housing prices).
Don’t stop there. emacs as pid 1, or bust.

Just having a laugh about AI becoming too powerful.

I don't honestly think it's happened yet, but it seems like a fake internet, or at least a future where it's hard to tell if this story is true as it has articles, videos and pictures to back it up.

We're just at a weird time of the internet where AI can generate stories, videos, audio and pictures, just not in a cohesive way - but that cohesiveness is just a matter of putting all the existing pieces together.

Additionally you need to have the current to deliver in the first place. Having a grid that can dump 25-100 kwh into any given car in a couple of minutes is no small task if everyone is doing it.
> Maybe an example would help clear things up. go into the lab with a 1 lb weight and a 2 lb weight and weigh them together.

> Saying that the total weight could either equal 3 lb or any value other than 3 lb does not constitute a predictive theory for how the physics of summing Mass works.

The relevant theoretical background here is hidden in the "weigh them together" step: that there is such a thing as weight, it's described by a single real number, you can measure it in such and such a way, and so on.

You don't notice these considerations when it comes to weight and speed and size because they're hardwired into our brains by evolution. We're not so lucky when it comes to, for instance, the quark mixing angles - we can't even conceive of them without a background theory, let alone start measuring them.
That's the big difference. A breathalyzer tells if you're right now actively impaired. Cannabis tests simply show that sometime in the past 30 days you smoked. Doesnt show active impairment.

But the real reason why cannabis was so heavy handed criminalized was because it was a "black, hippie, and anarchist" drug. https://www.aclu.org/issues/smart-justice/war-marijuana-blac...

We might actually be turning that around, only after 90 years.

Mostly the default availability and native stability and compatibility with very Mac OS X and macOS release so far. I don't really need the terminal emulator to do much (i.e. I don't need to have it integrate with tmux or screen, do things with the prompt or 'react' to what's happening in the shell.

While I have a couple of personal devices where I could go and customise everything as much as I like, it wouldn't port over to anyone I work with or any system I write software for, or any presentation I give, documentation I write etc.

Being more portable gives be better results overall than being specifically tailored to my preferences. I do default to light foreground and dark background colours wherever I go, but that is supported everywhere as far as I know, and has been the default on many platforms for long enough. (that said, I sometimes consult for complex/crazy situations and whenever you spot an xterm with black-on-white you know it's pain 'o clock).

It requires the approval of the United Nations Economic and Social Counsel's Commission on Narcotic Drugs to remove a schedule 1 item from a member countries drug schedules provided the World Health Organization approves any uses as medicinal.

They schedule drugs through Article 6 of our Constitution which makes treaties law of the land. Our ability to change drug laws in the US is outsourced to the UN. It's not a "Republican or Democrat" issue specifically. Though, the prison system that is increasingly private which makes money hand over fist on drug users and pushers certainly is an issue either political party could champion and change.
I've always thought this was silly limitation. Can't use the steering without functional software. I think there's work being done to maintain some amount of assist through most faults.

I think this would be more software redundancy though, not a fundamental change in the mechanics / hardware to make base steering easier.
