Why would it be dangerous for people to avoid cancer screenings if those screenings do not impact life expectancy? You might want to know if you have cancer, but doesn't this suggest that...there's no baseline argument to suggest that all people undergo those screenings?
My high level time organization has been ski season (Nov-Jun) and other (May/Jun-Oct) for many years. My partner is a swimmer though so now there is lake swimming season as well.

Last year I introduced her to a native berry and it turned out she actually like berries after a lifetime thinking she didn't. This year I've shown her more than 10 species that can be found nearby and we have moved our targets based on the season and which species are fading as others come into ripeness. It has been interesting to see someone learn how elevation can delay stages of the season, or how going to the dry side of the mountains moves the season forward.

Now we are in a stage where the blackberries are a gamble. Many are still ripe and ripening but some are fermented on the vine, some have lingered because they are just bland, and unpicked clumps are overwhelmed by drosophila that have been able to go a couple generations uninterrupted. When it finally rains the season will be over for good. But the less prolific Rubus laciniatus is about to ripen for one last batch of berries as summer fades.
Well, I'll take your word on it. I was working from memory, not looking at a particular post. I apologize for the inaccurate claim.

Back to the larger point: How many Rust programs meet your proposed level of "correctness"? How many Fortran programs, Java programs, Python programs? Virtually none of our software does. Why hold C++ to a standard that nothing else meets either?
I had done some research to deploy something similar based on open source projects.

I was thinking of using Armbian on Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS and Shellhub for the remote access.
> I am surprised it is the top comment on Hacker News

Sadly not too surprising if you have followed this forum over the last few years. It is still great for certain topics, but for several others the top voted comments are all just the standard talking points pushed to Fox News hosts.
The same is actually true of plants. My grandparents ate many different aromatic plants, and even had many different grains they planted like buckwheat or millet.
Agreed. Reading this kind of thing makes my blood run cold. Your 'accidental sudo rm -rf /' not only destroyed one machine, but all of them. The entire cluster, standbys, backups, storage volumes, the whole enchilada. That's a Business Ending Event, in one merge request.

I'm hard-pressed to think of a scenario where a single sysadmin in an 'old-fashioned' enterprise datacenter could do as much damage with, maybe not exactly a one-liner but a lightweight change instruction.

The risk-reward calculation seems completely bananas to me.
A simple example is returning an allocatable array from a function, where the Fortran compiler can decide to allocate on a stack instead, or even inline the function and eliminate completely. While in C the compiler would need to understand the semantics of an allocatable array. If you use raw C pointer and malloc, and use Clang, my understanding is that Clang translates quite directly to LLVM and LLVM is too low level to optimize this out, depending on the details of how you call malloc.

Of course, you can rewrite your C code by hand to generate the same LLVM code from Clang, as LFortran generates for the Fortran code. So in principle I think anything can be done in C, as anything can be done in assembly or machine code. But the advantage of Fortran is that it is higher level, and thus allows you to write code using arrays in a high level way and do not have to do many special things as a programmer, and the compiler can then highly optimize your code. While in C very often you might need to do some of these optimizations by hand as a user.

This only makes sense if you're in a world where you're switching backends more than once, which means you're not seriously programming, you're just burning VC money for lottery tickets.
The only one I use is a system tray because some applications, like Steam, stick an icon in it to manage them.

When you have an application upgrade in the background, you can no longer access by launching the icon since it doesn't relate to the running application anymore.

If it's not a laptop that would have Steam then I don't need any extensions either.

Even if they're lying, SF seems to be in denial about the wasteland it's becoming. Everyone's got a list of things they blame, but no one seems to have a list of changes they're willing to make to correct it.
heh. I lived in Detroit for 2 decades (I was born there) and still visit regularly. I also worked in SF for a long time as well.

Interesting that they offer GPT-4 32k in the enterprise version while only giving very few people API access to it. I guess we'll see that more often in the future.
The problem of libraries is namespaces, since everything is global its not worth it. and also incredibly problematic (especially since match() actually sets a 2 globals) fortunately gawk offers namespaces, it even has a flag for loading libraries from a path { gawk -i inplace } has replaced sed -i for me a couple of times. But yeah, its still lacking.

PS: This is gawk only though, but awk -f $awkmodules/mymodule.awk -f <(echo '') is an ok replacement, even though its just concatenating files
This is all good stuff. I'd like to add one small bit: most BMS are not capable of balancing packs that have become significantly unbalanced fast enough, and if they're really out of whack you may have a problem. A good BMS will allow this situation to exist but will de-rate the pack (you'll be charging to a lower overall voltage), a bad BMS will still allow the pack to reach the full working voltage but this will result in some pods to be under their maximum voltage while others will be over.

And that's a serious risk: a battery that is just fine at 4.2V may well go ballistic at 4.35 so even a small offset can cause real trouble. That's why those sense and balancing wires are all important. Keep in mind that they are not fused whenever you work on a battery and carry full voltage.
There is no reason these models will be selfhost only.
Even if the only thing fig adds is easier set up and integration and consistency of setup between users that could be enough to justify the cost.

Saving an hour of engineering time spent fiddling with your CLI config every year makes this a good value for a business.
Surely most of us have seen videos of mobs of youths shoplifting/looting stores in broad daylight. This isn't individuals shoplifiting covertly or even breaking in under cover of darkness. It appears to be a new and more openly lawless kind of theft, and those involved are surely aware that the risk is minimal?

And the footage spreading on social media will be likely be encouraging copycat groups to do the same, or escalate to even more brazen activity.

(What's hard to tell, as somebody not in the affected areas, is how widespread this kind of crime is. Social media will always spread the most shocking footage to a large audience, but it can often be falsely labelled, potentally old footage from elsewhere, dishonestly edited, shared by people with agendas, etc)
That's because a burger has become its own "thing", far removed from the "Cow". Like a chicken breast has become a "thing". Also calling meat with a different name (beef vs cow meat, pork vs pig meat, poultry, venison, etc) further removes the animal from what's on your plate. It's like in software, you use an OO language but you don't often stop to thing what's happening behidn the scenes.
Why the heck would anyone pay for the same thing from 2 different vendors?
I said starting to resemble. I referenced a Walgreens, so obviously they still have stores.
Their stock is down 33 percent over the past month and 75% over the past 5 years and this location is in a shopping mall - not exactly something that's been performing well. Therefore clearly store closures that were announced in may are entirely because of issues with the location? It's obviously a factor in the decision but I don't think it's a good idea to take a corporate executive's stated reason for shutting down stores/factories/etc as gospel. Remember a few months ago layoffs were happening almost like it was a fad? Once people started laying folks off it provided cover for everyone else? Interesting how all the retailers also announced their closures all at once.
it sounded like the overall point was that, by avoiding retained communications, they could get away with something they otherwise would not be able to get away with, and should not be able to get away with (patenting something obvious)

what sort of context could be added which exonerates that behavior?

if the context exonerates it, why not have a policy of including context?

if it's somehow benign, but cited out of context, why not just provide the context?

and, if such exonerating context doesn't exist, wouldn't society prefer they not get away with patenting something obvious?
And police force, who are not burdened by the demands / low staffing DPD are.
> If Reddit says X but Wikipedia says Y, do you trust X to be true or do you trust Y to be true?

Neither. One – or both – of them might be true, but who cares? It is not advantageous to give it much concern. We have evolved to not rely on truths. "Is that a lion rustling those bushes or just the wind? Let me be absolutely certain it is a lion before I run." said no one who successfully passed on their genes ever. Truths don't matter much, and the reality is that we're not capable of processing full truths anyway, having to rely on simplifications that lose a lot of the important nuance.

> Wikipedia's editors are highly respected by everyone. Reddit... not so much.

That's like saying librarians garner more respect than comedians. That might be the case when observed through some particular lens, but they're really not comparable. What would that even mean? And if this is the measure of success we want to use, I am struggling to understand why Wikipedia and Reddit were brought together for comparison.
Also... I'm pretty sure seattle is their flagship store. Not sure why people are saying it's the tiny store in SF. Up in seattle talk about Nordstrom is how they're sort of failing to effectively compete in the modern retail environment (amazon, dollar tree, walmart, costco, etc.)

I always thought their niche was high touch service / moderately high price, bit peeps around town have mentioned they've been trying new models.

I'm sure crime doesn't help, but Nordstroms has been struggling since assuming debt for expansion in the 90s.
Sadly the $1000 team doesn't get saved by the $100 scrum master though.

You are 100% right that legacy management falls for the SCRUM sales pitch.

At one company I worked at the scrum salesman basically bullied the executive team by saying "You don't want to be the last company to adopt scrum do you?!!??!"
Good, so use those as an example of how bad it is, not the car moving forward a little and the driver stopping it before anything bad happens.
I was using NVIDIA before CUDA and they were always on trend even back then. First they had the fastest 3D GPUs, or at least the best advertised ones. Then they had the programmable shaders, and then NVIDIA Cg, a great GPU programming language, which was pre-HLSL/GLSL. Then they acquired AGIA, which brought them PhysX + CUDA. But even recently they have innovated with fast networking, tensor cores and RTX. They are a consistent innovation machine.

Twenty years ago, I lived in San Jose's Almaden Valley, a block away from a dairy farm. On our walks around the neighborhood, we used to pick hay and feed it to the cows.

One day, my daughter named three of the cows: Treemore, Chicken Nose, and Looneycake.

Chicken Nose had a pattern on her nose that looked like a chicken. I don't remember what the other two names meant.

Around that same time, we went to a friend's barbecue. His dad was a butcher, and he cooked the thickest steak I've ever seen. It must have been two inches or more.

"Cooked" may be overstating it. When he brought in the steak on a platter, it was all loose and jiggly, with blood dripping out of it.

When I asked him about it, he said "That's not blood. It's juice!"

I kind of lost my taste for beef after that. Pork too.

But some exceptions apply. I don't enjoy a hamburger or a pork chop, but on occasion I would have a hot dog or a piece of crisp bacon.

I guess if the meat is disguised enough I don't mind it as much?
"NPC" applied to real people is usually an alt-right dogwhistle. A cursory glance at the contents of TFA confirm that that's the sense in which it's being used. Hard pass.

> What reason do you have to believe that the author was not rigorous in coming to his conclusions?

The arguments provided in the article. I quoted them for your convenience.

> What "peer-reviewed"

Why the quotes? I haven't mentioned peer review once.

> You sound like "authoritative" government institutions stating that "UFOs don't exist"

UFOs as in "unidentified flying objects" obviously exist. Nobody denies that. What people deny is aliens visiting Earth and us either not noticing, or covering it up.

> I can only link you to my earlier comment which isn't going down too well here.

Your comment makes no sense. There's attacking the person, there's attacking the person's family, and then there's this. I'd call this "argument from institutional multi-generational hypocrisy". If your country was created by people who believed in slavery - you can't be against slavery. I can't even.

Fascinating POV.

BTW many universities weren't even set up by church. For example the one I graduated (UMCS in Poland).
As a luxury department store, Nordstrom was feeling a lot of pressure from both online retail and from big-box retailers even before the pandemic. It's a tough business to be in.
It’s typical of people who don’t live in SF to completely downplay the situation there as “propaganda” because it puts their favorite tribe under scrutiny.

Stores can be shut down in one place for a specific reason while another place for a completely different reason. Nordstrom is located in probably the most expensive real estate in San Francisco, while the conditions just outside the stores are deteriorating. If this was just broader systemic problems, why is their massive store in San Jose still continuing? Clearly that should also be closing considering the fact that San Jose is also as expensive as San Francisco in terms of real estate?

What bs. And how do people think a stock is worth? There is no logic in that?
Assuming that the "barbenheimer" effect is what made people shy away seems to miss the occam's razor possibility: It's really not a great movie.

Okay, maybe that was just my opinion. Let's back that up.

The Barbie movie is incredibly dependent on cultural tropes, and targets both the nostalgia bone with its Barbie references and the cultural feelings of American women of a certain age.

Yes, the movie was very popular here. Because it targeted a very specific, yet very large, audience. It seems incredibly likely to me that the simple explanation for it's low acceptance in Japan is simply that the very specific audience it appeals to is quite small in Japan.

An n=1 sample of "stayed away due to oppenheimer marketing" makes this an entirely useless article.
> I consider myself liberal, but this sentence highlights the point a lot of people have issue with: that somehow many "on the left" have rationalized theft as being OK if you're poor. That is absolutely the point at which society and the social contract breaks down, because it becomes exceedingly easy for anyone to rationalize taking something from others because "they deserve it" in some way.

But what is the alternative? Let's look at a dirt-poor person who hasn't eaten in multiple days. Sure, there are places you can try to get donated items, but those are getting more and more over-run. You can beg and try to get enough together to buy something, but it's not really a good alternative either, especially since it's not guaranteed. So at what point would someone be in their right to steal food to survive? Is it never okay, meaning they'll have to starve in the worst case?

Naturally these problems should be solved long before anyone comes to the place of having to steal - but that's not the world we live in. And I'm strictly talking about absolute necessities, nothing beyond that. But surely at some point a human life is worth more than a bit of money in the store owners pockets?
I lived in Toledo for four years so visited Detroit often during that time, and I lived in the Bay Area for a few years as well. I just can’t see anyone saying SF is like Detroit without some huge distortions going on.

The High Dimensional Probability textbook is one of my all time favorites. The elegant mix of probability, geometry, and linear algebra can generate some really non-intuitive insights. The intuitions developed are also pretty useful for reasoning about modeling in a lot of applications
I'm going to start with one assumption that I believe is true: higher mental and physical stress will kill you faster.

If two statistical people both get cancer, one gets screened and potentially treated, and the other doesn't and they both live to 80, I would rather be the person that doesn't get treated.

A regular schedule of treatments is only better than a hail mary if you actually get more longevity from it, otherwise it's just more pain for the patient. At least with the hail mary, I only spend a short time feeling horrible before dying. This is most likely why doctors don't opt for treatment more than the average.

One thing that is nice about human teams doing migrations is the opportunities to redirect, optimize, and discuss.

1. Are these migrations purely A -> B or is it A -> Optimized B?
2. Are there any opportunities for the AI to be interactive to request feedback or have a discussion with the process as it is going?

many life advices would additionally claim that one should mostly abandon "end goal" thinking and instead focus on how to live a rhythm/pattern of actions that you can celebrate today, and that cumulative could result in the goal you care about (given a reasonable amount of successful dice rolls) .

This is a sort of values based form of living vs target fixation. I go to the gym because I value my health today and therefore eat healthy + go to gym. I don't do it because I want the end state of "abs".

yes! you're getting directly at what I'm trying to explain.

you need a license to have a copy in the first place, and you need a copy to cross out words, so yes, you need a license to cross out words. You don't need a special extra license, but you need a licensed copy or you are in violation of the copyright.

So this is the "trick" in copyright law that the GPL uses. It's granting you the have-your-one-copy-license if you agree to the terms. After that point, violations on your part do not void the "terms of the license", they void your license to have a copy in the first place.

the only person who does not need a license to have a copy is the original author, so if you buy a copy of a book you wrote, you (alone) don't own a licensed copy, but you do own the copyright on the copyrighted copy that you bought.
