Do you run other people's code on the same core as important code?

This is probably a really critical question for people who go to web sites where random enemies can bid on showing you malware / advertisements.

If you're not running other people's code on your server, you probably don't need to worry as much about speculative execution attacks.
Wouldn't using traditional eftpos payment (ie "debit" on the pos device) defeat the issue with visa/mc debit/credit cards?

I realise there's a convenience factor (tap to pay/nfc payment from smart devices) but if a 4.5c extra charge on a coffee is too much, you're probably going to have to deal with a bit less convenience.

To be honest even dealing with cash is going to be the biggest inconvenience. I recently visited my parents in SA after many years away from Australia. We took several hundred dollars in cash for expected small purchases that aren't worth using our foreign visa/Mastercards for. For example the $4.50 coffee.

Practically every place I used cash was able to but not at all expecting to.

One place I just wanted a couple of bottles of water. I don't remember how much it was. The guy seemed almost *insulted* when I handed him coins - he didn't even need to give me fucking change, but apparently putting coins in a till was a task he wasn't prepared for that day.

Another place (another day) I wanted some water, they had to *unlock the till* just to take my cash.

If a vendor is adding 1% to the charge for stuff going to the EMV networks, it's 100% worth it IMO.

If you're spending enough that the 1% becomes a significant amount, either it's:

- a rare purchase, and you could find a less convenient way to pay that one thing (ie eftpos) or you can just accept the cost once;

- it's a common/frequent purchase and you aren't even going to notice the 1%. If you care that much you can still always pay another way.
Was this happening in ye olden times before Twitter, or was caused by today's "journalism" at its best? (quotes are mine)

> What I don’t understand is that if making it illegal to build whatever living structure you want on public land is “cruel and unusual punishment”, why is it still illegal to build the living structure of your choice on private land that you own

Your premise is wrong; making rhe first kind of law has not been ruled unconstitutional, only enforcing it when there is no available shelter for the homeless population.
How does that solve the problem though? I certainly would be happy if my tax bill went down, but that money is being spent and a lot of it is spent on important things. Are you okay with just ignoring every problem that doesn't personally affect you? Or only this one in particular? I'm not seeing the dots connected here. You need to make at least a somewhat clear argument for how your proposed policy is sound instead of just pushing problems off on someone else.
Low income housing projects have been tried in the US too with mixed outcomes. My guess is that the Baseline social behavior and expectation is just lower in the US than in places like Taiwan or Singapore, where it is incredibly successful
Sounds like a lot to me.
I think the main issue with lazy sequences is understanding and controlling their scope. Transducers, particularly when utilized within an `into` scope, can encapsulate laziness very neatly. Indeed, transducers utilize lazy sequences internally, and the OP shows their clear performance advantage. I think the article would be more effective if it shifted tone to "Clojure laziness best practices" rather than damning the idea wholesale. There be dragons for sure.

The battery is in the cooling loop; I'm pretty sure its involved in the preconditioning if necessary.

You're right I'm adding a bit of extra heat load to the garage. I'm not about to sit in my garage for a bit though, I'm only stepping into it for a few minutes. And then the sun is going to rise and bake it back up to almost 100F again in an hour or so anyways. Making the temp go from 90F to 92-94F in there just doesn't make that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things.

And it is definitely a useful thing to do, as it takes a lot of work to get the car cool, energy that now doesn't have to come from the battery. Its an extra kWh or so that doesn't come from the battery.
For what it's worth, Bitwig Studio also works on Linux.

Note that 10 years ago this facility was maxing out at 14.4 kJ, now they are at 3.5 MJ, well over a two order of magnitude improvement. As you can see in [0] (which doesn't even include the latest results) their progress has thus far been exponential. While this facility is not designed to achieve engineering breakeven, it is designed to get past the 100 MJ level.

Ayurvedic consept of ascetic – vital power
Pronto! (Im sorry for my english)

Ki-qi/yin/yang, bio- energy, life forces, vitality, ascetic power, prana- tejas-odjas...

So many terms are trying to define what makes wheeling circle of life. What more than just take a sleep, eat, pay your debts to the family and society? - And you will be filled with strength. Well, or do some other active rest there ...

However, demons have no problems at all - parasitize yourself on sinners and enjoy. But still, how is the breath of life actually arranged?

Perhaps the most investigated concept of vitality is Ayurvedic. Prana-tedjas-odjas are a kind of symbiosis of time and anti-entropy. Symbiosis in the sense that they all have measurement in seconds.

Prana is the ability of organisms not to increase their entropy over time. On the material level, this is expressed in the harmonious work of automatic and semi-automatic systems such as breathing, thermoregulation, intestinal peristalsis, heartbeat, etc.

Tedjas is the same prana but already compressed to the state of self-consciousnesd. E.g. part of the prana is spending on self & environment control. The life being acquires the ability to think, plan, purposeful activity. The essential material manifestations are vision and digestion.

Digestion is especially important here, because cannot be fully explained by the secretion of enzymes and microbiom activity. One third of it happens by the grace of God, by the intervention of this very tejas.

Prana is most pronounced during dreaming. Tedjas - at the time of wakefulness. And odjas is during dreamless sleep...

Odjas is the quintessence of Tedjas itself. The ability to freeze its part in the form of a seed and ensure its germination when favorable environmental conditions occur. At this point, entropy can even spontaneously decrease! The most significant material manifestations are the synthesis of proteins and polysaccharides...

And the soul is immaterial bystander, who prefers to self-identify with tedjas and the body in general.

I know you receive citizenship with birth on US soil, but that wasn’t implemented because the state has some obligation to someone simply due to the dirt above which they were born.

The reason that law was implemented was to recognize the states duty to the offspring of the people of the nation. Do you really think the framers of the 14th amendment would agree with loopholes like “anchor babies”? Of course not, because while they were born here, the intent behind the 14th was to grant immediate citizenship to the offspring of the people who built the country. This is what I mean. Anchor babies were an unforeseen flaw.

It’s not arbitrary. You think it’s arbitrary because you have the impression that the US is just some economic zone with a basket of benefits. ITS NOT. We’re a nation of people. The nation and its people have no obligation to you or any other non member of the people. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO IT. Why do you think you deserve citizenship? You think so because it would benefit you, not thinking for a second whether you’d benefit the nation or it’s people.

Given that you view the country this way, you don’t deserve it either. We’re not a basket of benefits to be plundered by the whole world.

The duty of the nation is to its people and them alone. Immigrants come only if they are a benefit to the people and the people want them. The state acts on behalf of the people in this mission.
Adding on to your statement.

I think this is the crux of the problem. Organizing people efficiently is hard. And unfortunately the incentives for mangers are: the more people under you the more valuable you are. And you must hit goals because managers are directly judged based on team outcomes.

The problem is "turtles all the way down". Because of the above, often directors aren't amazing mentors. They just know how to push people into the right direction... Socialized bad guy if you will. So instead of managers getting solid mentorship, they are often thrust into a position of power and told to figure it out, well for many, as you see with how they raise children, figure it out = ruthless.

I have had a manager who ended up as a mentor/friend. That is because she always cared.
> Years back I was concerned about the size of a large JPEG collection and recompressed them which was a big mistake because many of the images were compressed too hard.

Distortion metrics[0] such as MS-SSIM, MS-SSIM*, SIMM, MSE, and PSNR can be used to define a cut-off or threshold for deciding the point at which the image is "compressed enough" by using one or more of those algorithms and predefining the amount of acceptable/tolerable distortion or quality loss. Each of those algorithms has some trade-offs in terms of accuracy and processing time, but it can definitely work for a large set if you find the right settings for your use-case. It is certainly more productive than manually settings the Q-level per image.

Some SaaS such as https://kraken.io do this on JPG images.

I recently did my own case build around a framework motherboard in a retro style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsOAE5c7YXs it worked pretty well and I actually met up with the Framework CEO, Nirav, when I was recently in SF to discuss ways to better enable this type of project. I truly believe they want to support creative re-use.
I think it really sounds much more disorganized and arbitrary than the US, and it's a salutary reminder: state capacity in most of the world is low, like astonishingly low.

Here's the Italian website for their startup visa scheme: https://italiastartupvisa.mise.gov.it

Notice how the website looks like something your cousin cooked up? And how you can't even really tell how the scheme works? ... how, to apply, you need to get two paper stamps at the post office (LOL)?

And Italy, despite the stereotypes, has a relatively high-capacity state in a global context.

The world is really, really different from big developed countries.
Deregulation has been getting introduced. ADUs have been approved and you can now do something called SB9 which if deployed to the maximum extent allows you to take a single property split it into two parcels and build two duplexes on each parcel.

That 4xs the amount of dwelling spaces per property in theory. But of course the capital and will for a Californian who owns property to go through with it is a different story.

So in that sense do developers have ~2 years left? Code is much more rigid than acting or creative writing and AI seems to be getting there first. I mean if the all-powerful AI can make modern movies than clearly it can handle writing all code right?
I'm still running an i5-2500k (overclocked to 4.3GHz) in my main PC.

Only decided to replace it now when I bought the new Call of Duty and realized it can't run it smoothly. It's _fine_ for everything else.

My Ryzen 5800X arrives next week. Can't wait to return to Rust, which I dropped because compiling took ages.
Bit of an aside, but the socially acceptable levels of casual-hate when directed at "white men" is sometimes shocking to me.

> Post-election analysis would show that the Bernie Bro trope was entirely constructed; there was no evidence to show that young white men made up a majority of Sanders’s supporters.

The author just takes it as a non-controversial statement of fact that "white men" are inherently evil and that if they support a political candidate that means the candidate is also bad, and that she needs to distance herself from the whole thing.

The story arc isn't that anything changed about Bernie's policy views, history or anything else. The bad thing that happened is a rumor that "young white men" liked him, which was bad, and the good news was that Bernie supporters were actually from the morally good races and genders.
> The apprentices that sign up for this gain real world experience that’s hard to come by locally and get paid for it.

It has a great potential for widening the social divide. Here in the UK it is illegal to hire an apprentice without at least paying them a minimum wage. The reason is that before the change, the apprenticeships were snapped up by people from wealthy background who could afford to work for "experience" or "exposure". This created a bubble, where at certain jobs you wouldn't see anyone from disadvantaged background working there, because those people had to take on jobs that weren't aligned with their interests, simply because they were poor and couldn't afford an apprenticeship.
Now, the minimum wage thing is still not ideal, because in certain areas that's not enough, especially where you have a large family to support, but it is better than nothing.
I remember getting the 2500k my senior year of high school, for Christmas 2011. I held onto that thing for six years. Crazy powerful chip.
I agree with the sentiment that greater freedom of expression is a noble goal and society loses something with these soft restrictions. Having a catalog of unmentionables is not a new thing though, and definitely is not "unacceptable in other social settings". It's a basic social skill from long before the internet existed. It's been rude to bring up politics and devicive issues in conversation for literal centuries.
The biggest propaganda win of the century has been the following:

In a country with complete freedom of movement (and relatively cheap long-distance transportation), the mainstream has been convinced that homelessness is only caused by the communities where those people live.

It's the Federal government's historical role to serves as a social safety net, not mid-sized cities with 'live outside year round' weather.

Like what does SF 'fixing homelessness' even look like? I can tell you what it looks like at the Federal level.
I have not noticed that. All I ever need to do is look at a the first few Google results and the big brands I already know, and read then one-star reviews on Amazon. They all have the same 4.9 star rating, but some will say "Feels cheap and plasticky", while others will say "Started smoking after a day".

I've had a lot of bad results with anything niche and unusual, now I try to stick with really popular products that are so well known that someone would have told me if there was a problem.

Power tools don't break. Flashlights charge with USB and are way brighter. The pasta can be whole wheat or made with chickpeas. Pretty much everything mass produced is pretty great at least for the buyer.

I suppose I do hear a lot about simple hand tools and the like not being what they used to be though. It seems like most stuff people complain about is low tech stuff that has mostly need replaced by something high tech, causing everyone to forget how to make the simpler stuff, that often wss as much art as science to make.

Ask HN: What are good patters / practices in Machine Learning Development?
Hello,

Currently I am somehow experienced Machine Learning Engineer.
I'm trying to improve my Software Engineering skills in Machine Learning by using more good practices / patterns. I think using pytorch lightning is a good starting point as the API forces you to use good practices. But I like to understand more. (I am aware ML is changing fast but maybe you see some longterm patterns)

1.) What do you think are good practices in ML?
2.) Can you recommend some books? I found " Designing Machine Learning Systems: An Iterative Process for Production-Ready Applications " and " Machine Learning Design Patterns". What do you think about them?

Thank you!

> Since 2016 San Francisco’s homeless budget has ballooned to $672 million from $224 million, yet the number of homeless in shelters has increased by a mere 736. That equates to $609,000 in higher annual spending for each additional person in shelter.

That's a case of BAD math if I've ever seen one. It's presented as if the goal of the homeless program is to corral homeless people into shelter and increase shelter occupancy (it's not.)

What are the number of people who has been rehomed? As a figure of speech, if a program rehomes a million people, and shelter occupancy goes up by a 736, is that still $609k a person?

I know WSJ writes from a biased place, but man, I couldn't read on after this sentence.

Thanks, -t 32 (instead of -t 13 which is what comes as default) makes a big difference in CPU usage across all cores. Not quite 100% but all cores are above 50% with many at 100%. It speeds up just a tiny bit the eval t/s to 3.3 (from 2.9).
I have not seen such a thing happening, except for the so-called "moderation" which claims all sides are right. But that's not real moderation, or objectivity, is it?
Who maintains the code written by those remote junior devs? If the answer is: the team that owns the project, then effectively, these remote junior devs are producing legacy code the moment they finish their job. If the answer is: the remote junior devs, then that implies you need to hire them again for that... so what's stopping you then from hiring junior devs full-time at all?
> a federal injunction that bars officials from enforcing laws against camping or sleeping in public spaces as long as its homeless population exceeds available shelter beds.

If a place to sleep exists, you can demolish the encampments and force them the clear out. As the old saying goes, "You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here."
don't try with psychologists then
I think it is worse than that. I think it is already happening.

At the very least, it is happening internally in R&D projects and there will be a raft a roll-outs. How many of those will be floated quietly for "testing" purposes before being rolled out in a public way? Will ToS be updated to reflect it?

We have already seen with Microsoft, that they are more than willing to implement and train these kinds of systems and roll them out without any kind of opt-in or up-front disclosure. And if you don't like it, you can just stop using O365, GitHub, Azure, etc. Good luck with that. You've got to convince the higher-ups that this is a real issue that they should absolutely care about. For many organizations, you just aren't going to get traction there because they likely own a bunch of MS stock and are happy to see the value extracted from their own company if it boosts their net worth in other ways.
This would increase the supply of housing, lowering the value of real estate investments, and thus is not permitted. Spending on homelessness in places like California is essentially a corrupt form of taxation on insanely inflated housing prices, where the money gets funneled back through various “nonprofits” and “services” that line the pockets of politicians.
I think well meaning liberals want to believe that all of society’s problems can be solved without any form of coercion, and that is simply not the case. If someone is homeless and has a dog, and there is a shelter bed for them, you may just need to force them to give up their dog and move to the shelter (or else face arrest). There are overriding concerns greater than letting people keep their pets.

I recognize the solutions are more complex than just force people to give up their pets, but most of those solutions involve some application of coercive force.

Edit: I did not explicitly spell this out, but clearly if you take away the dog it should be put up for adoption, not executed on the street while the owner is forced to watch, for maximum cruelty. Some people seem to think I was advocating something like the latter.
I've got an i5 530 in a server in my lab. Since it runs idle for long periods it isn't very power hungry. It is also beefy enough for a lot of different loads.

> Dumb question, what are invariants?

The term that you want to Google or ask ChatGPT is "Design By Contract". An invariant is something that is true during the lifecycle of a class, function, loop, service, system, etc. Invariants, preconditions, and postconditions are the three primary constructs in DbC.
Seeing comments like this get downvoted into oblivion when they're stating basic information without any obvious slant or other violations of the HN rules/norms is really bumming me out.
This is one of those terrible, misleading statistics. Most of the "homelessness" budgets in large cities go towards preventing people from becoming unsheltered - i.e. on housing support and prevention.

Two-thirds of San Francisco's homelessness budget is spent on housing and prevention: https://hsh.sfgov.org/about/budget/overview-previous-budgets...

By definition, the best spent homelessness budget would be the one that resulted in zero people in shelters right?
It's been a while and the code is long lost. We only touched the surface of SymPy. Functions, Substitutions, some `ingegrate` and `simplify` is what I remember. The maths was already done. My job was to verify some equations.
HiDPI is not perfect neither in KDE (arguably, better situation)not in Gnome, compared to Win 11. When your enable scaling, window's context menu (left click on menu) is not scaled in debian 12 and Ubuntu, irrespective of environment variables (PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 and such). In Wayland (which solves many scaling problems) KDE renders fonts blurrier than in X11. For many it is not a big deal, but not is not acceptible for me. Gnome apps are not properly caled unless the scale is bigger than 175%, and then they are too big (overscaled).

I still use KDE though.
