This is headed to a Rule 56 SJ on standing grounds. If affected individuals want to sue over reverse discrimination claims, they can put their name to the lawsuit and take their PR lumps for doing so, rather than hiding behind a political pressure group with no cognizable direct interests. This is just grandstanding by lawyers who know better and should be exposed to rule 11 sanctions for wasting the defendant’s and court’s time with an abusive filing.

> Between 2009 and 2017, only 0.0006% of VC funding went to businesses started by Black women, according to nonprofit advocacy group Digitalundivided. Fearless Fund aims to help bridge the gap.

The case is clear, why go after the little funding available? Is anyone really convinced that white men as a whole are disadvantaged because they can’t get funding from these three black women?
> No one should be surprised to learn that the products of the "open" wing of an industry whose products are neither "artificial," nor "intelligent," are also not "open."

I understand hating on OpenAI for not being open, I agree. But to argue their products aren't AI-related is tenuous at best. Yes, they are trained by humans. But does that really exclude these models from living under the umbrella of AI? I just think the author should have backed up this portion of their argument more.
That's what Android does: each app runs as a different user.
Filesystems are a database and have to deal with CAP Theorem trade-offs like everything else. Windows and NTFS both took a heavy focus on Consistency/(lack of) Partitions over Availability. Most POSIX operating systems and their filesystems took a heavy focus on Availability at the expense of Eventual Consistency and Sometimes Partitions.

Neither approach is wrong, they are just very different approaches with very different performance trade-offs.

Also Windows' filesystem supports an entire plugin stack including user-space plugins, to support things like anti-virus scanners and virtual filesystems and all sorts of other things. Not all of Windows' "slow" filesystem is first-party problems, a lot of it can be third-party drivers and tools that are installed.
Certain websites are so overbuilt though that theres plenty of low hanging fruit. I’d say a very healthy majority of the websites I visit could replace whatever bulky mess they have with static html and still serve me their content and ads. Then the website would probably be orders of magnitude more performant refactored in html.
If a hacker is able to exfiltrate log files, what's to prevent them from exfiltrating other things? If they get into a server, they could as well dump sensitive data form the database or do something to gain persistence, like installing a shell or adding their SSH key. If they get into a client device, they could steal more, more valuable data than just some logs — browser cookies, email credentials, app tokens, owner's personal information, all that stuff.

The essential issue here is that for typical land you can produce more food with plants than you can with animals. Animals act as an extra 'processing' step for food production. Imagine the food chain for eating a plant vs eating an animal. The extra step is highly inefficient by a lot of metrics, but humans have a major diet preference for eating beef/pork/chicken.

Plant -> Person

Plant -> Farm Animal -> Human

Why would the original product get more expensive if people like it and supply continues? There is now increased supply in comparable products which brings prices down. Also, China is a quite poor country. The median income is $4,500.

> Effectively the GIL is incurring that overhead on every data structure whether you need it or not.

Not really. The GIL is taken and released quite infrequently (only when the Python interpreter decides it's time to do a context switch), whilst the new locks for each data structure are taken/released every time you do a basic operation on those data structures.

Holding a lock that is rarely taken/released incurs very little overhead.

To me this article is interesting because

* it is thorough, detailed and very thoughtful

* rsc’s essays usually end up with a major Go language change, so there’s a good chance this article is the seed of some change to Go and undefined behavior, or correctness or performance.

Even if it’s not a major upcoming change (I bet it is, tho) rsc is an extremely insightful dev.

Try running something from only ONE year ago on Linux and it very often won't work, unless it's an Appimage or Flatpak, or you're on Nix,

They might not break userland but Qt and GTK do the breaking for you. Python joined the party recently. Random DBus daemons might be missing, etc.

Qubes is one of those things that, I think, everyone knows is better but it seems just far enough away to not want to change.

I noted that Thiel wasn't convicted, but that does not mean that what he did was right or that it was legal, merely that he may well be insulated enough that he can get away with such stuff where you and I could not. And that in itself is a perversion of the law in its own right.

Thiel and Musk lack ethics, they see the world as their property and carve it up with the same ease as the rulers of old did and never mind the consequences. With such power there should be a matching sense of responsibility.

This lack of ethics seems to be the default for billionaires, it is very rare to see people that wealthy that use their wealth in a positive sense, more often than not it is used as a weapon and to acquire even more wealth at a cost to society and the environment in general.

Good luck at the doctor's!
Unlike in medical facilities, the radiation comes from multiple directions. Also, the crew moves around the plane. The vests would have to cover an impractically large area.

Also, when radiation is blocked by matter, secondary radiation is generated. Since the composition of cosmic radiation is for sure different than the one found in other occupational settings, lead vests might or might not have the same effect. Also, the aluminium skin of the aircraft already has a similar effect. There might not be that much to be done practically.

It would be interesting though to let flight crew wear radiation badges.

Well, that will depend on what the local lawyers mean when they say "public utility". On the general usage of the word, yes, I do agree.

Wal-Mart also gets large discounts because of its size. But that doesn’t mean it can open a small grocery store in a town that’s too small to support a normal Wal-Mart. That’s also true of Walgreens, or Best Buy, or lots of other large chains. Big companies have high organizational overhead that makes it hard for them to do small scale projects.

And it’s not a matter of having fat margins. Wal-Mart’s margin is under 3%. Verizon’s wireline operating income margin is usually under 10%, often under 5%.

> Deciding what to eat for dinner with guess-culture people isn’t as simple as asking people what they want to eat for dinner, because they will not tell you what they actually want to want to eat for dinner. They will say “oh, whatever you want,” or “whatever is easiest.” And when you insist that you really really want to know what they want to eat for dinner, and if it’s too much work, you’ll do something else instead, the response you receive will already be a compromised version of what they want, taking into account the preferences of everyone else in the house, what the kids will eat, and the leftovers in the fridge.

Man, people are so bad at communicating.

I have found that a lot of communication from americans includes hidden unsaid statements, which are frequently expected by the speaker to be automatically inferred by the listener.

Alternately, plain speaking is heard by the american listener to imply things that may not be intended at all.

It's somewhat baffling to me, so much so that I wrote a whole article about it.

https://sneak.berlin/20191201/american-communication/
Yeah, I agree. I was editing my comment to praise the article's body as you were replying.
You made the same mistake as the grandparent by assuming I/O means something more specific than it does. At any rate there isn't a good reason to bubble error objects out of the event handler and secondly even if you did you would have everything you need to fully describe the problem within the error object including the stack trace, event type, error message, and so forth.

Its an equivalent breeze in JavaScript as well unless you are fumbling through abstraction layers (frameworks) that eliminate the information you need.
Yep, and well below titanium as well. So, if you've got a beach where a bunch of titanium washes up every year, my advice is to use that instead.
Yeah I was kinda thinking both are useful and necessary in different contexts. Seems strange to prefer one.
I tried it for a week. Feels like overkill so I instead went for Fedora Silverblue & have everything in isolated podman containers.

Of course, I’m not being targeted by the state so my threat model is much lower.
I feel like it hurts ChatGPT when the training set contains many variations of explaining the same logical fact and/or proof. Which might be wrong, it sounds paradoxical at least.

Levels of abstraction differ, and terminology too. And of course there's content on the web that's just wrong, often in some subtle detail.

Example: I had a lengthy discussion with it about a school mathematics question and probabilities.

The question was clearly defined and every time the answer was ambiguous or not a valid proof, I tried to point out the inconsistencies to the best of my limited knowledge.

The question was

What is the **expected** number of rolls needed to roll the first six using a fair 6-sided dice? Prove your answer.

I know this is a simple and innocent question, but it can trap one up when mathematical knowledge is limited (I include myself here, my education is just too rusted).

In this case, it came up with lots of hand-wavey answers on why the answer is 6.

The answer was correct but the explanations were not. Altering the question, for example by asking for at least two times the number six made things worse.

It took a lot of follow-up questions, then the model explained to me why the terms of the expansion of the recurrence equation it came up are bounded by a geometric series.

The correct answers were very good, precise and understable, but interspersed with misleading inconsistent, and wrong answers.

I wonder if it will break completely at some point for this kind of conversation, when it keeps ingesting content of unpredictable quality.
Saying no to generics sends a strong signal to FP astronauts to "take it somewhere else". This saying no to a huge number of things is the superpower of Go and its community IMO, but those "go away" signals are getting weaker over time, which increases the likelihood of needing conversations and decisions about when to use what style, which is exactly the sort of thing I enjoy not having to do with Go.

For example: this entire HN thread. And all the other libraries you mention that keep soliciting conversations, nerd sniping people who could be spending that time making better products instead of quibbling over FP code golf. But maybe those folks will always find things to quibble over...
Well, this isn't the only way to do things. There are exceptions in elixir and you can catch them if you want. But most functions that can fail have two versions

File.read() returns {:OK, contents} or {:error, reason}

So you can pattern match on the result.

File.read!() returns contents or raises an exception.

The first one allows you to use errors as values and handle the problem at the source. The latter assumes its going to be successful and either makes you catch the exception or, more likely for elixir, let the process crash.

The with statement is a good fit for certain domains where otherwise you might have a bunch of nested cases.

If you are worried about it returning a different type you can wrap it in the else block

with {:ok, bar} <- func(foo)
do
bar
else
value -> {:failed, value}

end

So you can make your failed cases more homogeneous to pattern match on. You can even pattern match on the different failed cases if you want to ensure more homogeneity.

If using with doesn't make sense for the domain there are other constructs in the language that will

Very interesting framing for tension I experience as a manager, but never saw formalized.

At work, ask culture puts higher burden on managers. Especially when requests cross the line into unreasonable territory, and the manager has to study the problem with objectivity, and politely articulate why the request cannot be granted.

Example: request for time off overlaps with important deliverables due by the requester. In guess culture, the requester studies their schedule and does not make a request if there's a conflict. In ask culture, the requester asks anyway and if the manager approves, they have now entangled the manager into what could be a bad business decision.

100GW? More like vaporising planes and satellites. 100GW will heat about 50T of aluminum to boiling temperature in about 1s. Of course you won't have perfect heat transfer, but if you can send that power for more than 5s, most satellites will start actually boiling and vaporising.

Countless of other things likely existing doesn't discount any of them.

sudo, yes. piping to a shell is fine imo provided the install script is easy enough to read if you are so inclined. i have seen lots of generated install scripts that are mind boggling.

the reality is that you run code you haven’t personally read and vetted everyday. so the idea that you need some stranger to bless a package for you to be trustworthy doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Same. I wouldn't discourage anyone from not dropping the habit. I mean, I don't feel different in terms of day to day health, but also in that I don't miss having coke zero. So... Why buy it? But yeah, it didn't seem to be impeding my health in the way others things have.
I think I default more to guess culture? I certainly don't ask for help much--almost never--but I think that might be because I'm very independent. My personal problem with ask culture is when the relationship becomes very asymmetrical. Some ask culture people that I know will freely make requests all the time. In their minds, I assume, they'll get me back when I ask for it. The problem is that I don't ask for help, so instead I will help them out a dozen times in a row, my frustration building all the time, my opinion of them tending toward "freeloader".

My relationships that work well have a very strong unstated premise of turn-taking. If my friend paid for lunch last time, of course I'm getting it this time, and vice-versa--to me that's just obvious. If I stay at someone's house while traveling, it goes without saying that I will host them at my house (or return the favor in some other way of equivalent value) before imposing on them again.
Nice. Of course the Wiki page of the boat is missing all of those details. However, I was disappointed that the pictures do not show landing skids!

Thanks for that, this makes total sense as a cryptographically provable record of prior art, which would be very useful for any digital media or inventions that have no physical record of their creation. It does not make sense to me that the NFT itself would be worth any money, or need to be transferred. If the artist can prove they did the work, they can still sell or license that work in the traditional way, with a contract or license. Since the law doesn't really recognize NFTs, you still would need the license anyways.
Yeah something interesting about this one was that the competing AVIF has been notoriously absent from Edge despite being Chromium based. I finally discovered why from a Microsoft dev commenting on the topic on Mastodon. They have apparently been targeted by a patent troll but are working behind the scenes to resolve it.

This is only more fuel to how the current decisions are really not the best way forward as a web-oriented technology. What if Ladybird aims to support AVIF and is hit too? They might not have the finances or resources to be able to ever support it.
I’m really curious what this article would look like if it was written from the perspective of one of the “boots on the ground” developers that spent 8 months on the original PoC, rewrote it in the 7 weeks, and is still maintaining it today.
All good and meaningful relationships involve give and take, and sometimes saying no, so this reduces to "it's rude to have close human relationships with people" (because close human relationships necessarily involve sometimes saying no).

There is an argument that such a worldview is slightly pathological.
I felt this a lot as an Australian living in Germany. It's really refreshing knowing someone will tell you what they honestly want, and takes a while to get used to saying "no". Once you realise it's not offensive to say no in "ask culture", I actually think it's preferable, but I don't think I'll ever be completely comfortable doing the "asking".
this is developer's gospel for me

I'm guessing it might have something to do with the "impulse curve" of the radiation. Atom bomb would look like a spike with exponential decay. This study looks at constant low-grade exposure. It might be that a single main radiation event (if it doesn't acutely kill or sicken you too bad) causes an inflammatory response and increased mutation detection, while constant low-grade provides many more opportunities for errors to slip through the cracks.
