> It doesn't appear to query CPUID

Yes, I'm actually looking for a good way to do it for other projects as well. I've looked into a couple more libs, and here is the best I've come up with so far: https://github.com/unum-cloud/usearch/blob/f942b6f334b31716f...

> Your substring routines have multiplicative worst case

Yes, that is true. It's a very simple stupid trick, just happens to work well for me :)

> It seems quite likely that your confirmation step

We have a different library internally at Unum, that avoids this shortcoming. It has a few thousand lines of C++ templates with SIMD intrinsics... and it's definitely more efficient, but the margins aren't always high. So I kept the pure C version with inlined functions as minimal and simple as possible.

> It would actually be possible to hook Stringzilla up to `memchr`'s benchmark suite if you were interested. :-)

Yes, that would be a fun thing to do! I haven't had time to look into `memchr` yet, but would expect great perf from your lib as well. For me the State of the Art is Intel HyperScan. Probably the most advanced SIMD library overall, not just for strings. I was very impressed with their perf ~5 years ago. But the repo is 200 K LOC... So get ready to invest a weekend :)

That said, I'm a bit slammed with work right now, including open-source. Hoping to ship a new major release in UCall this week, and a minor one in USearch :)
I don't think that is an accurate representation of the "comunity", it was a "singular complaint from a company advertising unallocated ASN and IPv4 resources", and got told off by literally most of the mailing list. I'm counting at least 20 other individual responses and all of them are in support of the experiment https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2019-January/threa...
History is more about political and social history, but the article made me think of the concept of qualia, or subjective experience. I feel like clothing would be a huge resource of individual experiences wearing corsets, suits of armor, togas, and so on, and how they affected daily life and deeper values, too.

There is probably a book out there that compares the Roman toga to the modern business suit and then explains how that is relevant to how political power “feels” today vs. in the ancient world.
Wishing you better luck getting back into a job than I had - months 1-6 of job searching were straightforward enough, but after that, each successive month started making me feel like I was being judged for continuing to look for a job instead of taking the first thing that would give me "current" experience.

The problem is that we no longer have the time to let market forces work that slowly. Things like home heaters, stoves, vehicle engines, etc. have service lifespans measured in decades so we need everyone buying electric now. Things like EVs or heat pumps often have higher upfront cost so we need to stop having the situation where people feel like they have to pay more to do the right thing because the fossil fuel prices are subsidized so low that many people don’t feel much pressure to change.

No moms specifically. It's better for the family as their nature is specifically ordered toward raising children. Men on the other hand are ordered towards protecting and providing for the family. The feminist movement to get women working is the great hoax. It makes women miserable and it is the single great cause of the wage stagnation by doubling the workforce. Corporation love this.
YMMV but I found a passion in programming, self-learning led to a career, and life sorted itself out from there. Also, travel frequently if you have the means to.
How to Integrate DebugMail Service for Testing Email as an SMTP Server
I'd like to hear from people that have done sabbaticals or even a longish unpaid time off (say 6 weeks or more).

How many times have you done it?

How did you manager take it?

How did you colleagues react?

I'd like to take a few weeks off, unpaid but I'm quite fearful about how the business will react.
> To disrupt the botnet, the FBI redirected Qakbot traffic to Bureau-controlled servers that instructed infected computers to download an uninstaller file. This uninstaller—created to remove the Qakbot malware—untethered infected computers from the botnet and prevented the installation of any additional malware.

So the FBI used unauthorized access to the computers to uninstall the malware? Scary if you think about it. I'm sure they could have used that access any way they wanted.
That something is the wrong abstraction is something you can only know after the fact, at the time you build the abstraction it is - or at least it should be - a reasonable choice. And later on as the code evolves there are two possible outcomes, the abstraction remains a good choice or the abstraction stops being a good choice and you have to change it. Maybe it can be saved with some refactoring, maybe at has to go completely.

But at the very least you had a working abstraction for some time and you can easily figure out all the places where this functionality is used and you have a single place to make changes when you have to make them instead of having to hunt down all the different places with slightly different implementations. Even if an abstraction breaks completely down and has to be split up into several implementations, each of those will usually have several usages which would all still be repetitions without the abstraction.

No? It clearly takes more training and has more liability since the consequences of a mistake are more serious. The average billable rate would inevitably be higher regardless.
I played during a free play weekend. I got out of my bed and immediately fell through the world and died. Tried again and went to look for the space port. Had to take a train to get there. The train ride was cool exactly once, but then you realize the planets are vast nothingness and the cool city you see really is completely empty. Lots of T-posing 3D models standing on tables and chairs. A much-vaunted "Bartender AI" that plays the same pint glass flip animation and says the same few dialog bits ad nauseum. The flight model is rather.. erm.. version zero like the rest of the game? As in, it doesn't really exist but maybe someday.

It's not an MMO as such, with something like 50 players per server. The Server Meshing God-tech that they've been banging on about for years now is practically impossible as described. To paraphrase, "you'll be able to shoot a gun from one ship and the bullet will pass through several cloud servers as it hits a player in another ship". Latency and n^2 are not your friends here. Honestly, based on this alone I'm surprised by the amount of Gell-mann Amnesia in the thread.

In my experience it's a "make your own fun" sort of game. Try it on a free play weekend, but IMO don't get sucked in and donate tens of thousands of dollars to a broken CryEngine demo running on promises.
Most kitchen appliances require the right voltage. They normally have a heater or motor driven direct from the AC voltage.

Most devices you'd use outside the kitchen usually will work on any voltage - with notable exceptions being vacuum cleaners, washing machines and fan heaters.
Its really hard to google for information on older stuff like this. I did find a presentation from 2000 where they talk about "OS Bypass with Virtual Addressing; no page locking or copying; full protection" (https://hsi.web.cern.ch/HNF-Europe/sem3_2001/hnf.pdf)
I stand corrected and added a disclaimer in my original comment. Thanks for teaching me something I assumed incorrectly.
Pretty interesting. I bet there were a LOT of lawyer conversations about that.
Lots of countries with universal healthcare have private insurance and healthcare. Public healthcare is pretty rare, Britain and Canada are the main examples, and Canada is only one that bans private healthcare. Switzerland is good example of country with required private health insurance. France is mostly public insurance but healthcare is mostly private.
I used to have a Eufy 30C. Though inferior to a modern Roomba in many ways, it can operate full offline, doesn't have any cameras, is easily serviceable, and kept my house clean for the better half of a decade.
Lucky you. 18 months job searching here, 10 years of experience - I absolutely could tell that I was seeing fewer contacts, interviews, offers, etc. in months 7-18 than months 1-6.
> should be ignored until it dies into obscurity

That is your interpretation of what is being said, where "prove to be something viable" is being added, and graciously giving the benefit of the doubt to the person who wrote the statement.

I took it, as possibly many others, as "ignore V until it dies". Thus, "V should die", would also be near enough to the intent, malice, and vitriol be conveyed. If someone said something similar to me or about something I created, "Ignore X until it dies", would not interpret it as anything other than ill intent.
I think your disagreements are valid, but I don't think it is fair to say this is an amateurish take or infer the author's level of experience. Your example of unnecessary inheritance hierarchies (which I have also faced many times in real world scenarios) may even be a symptom of exactly what the author is saying: what you might call a "bad fitting abstraction" the author would just call "bad code". The implementation details of how code gets shared (composition vs inheritance) is a subtle but still vital consideration to the cost benefit analysis. The author is observing that it might be misleading or dangerous advice to urge developers to choose duplication just because issues with abstraction have been historically observed, which I completely agree with and do not consider myself to be an amateur. I also agree with you and other posts that the author fails to mention the (exponentially higher) costs of abstraction boundaries that also span human organizational boundaries.
Parents are both incredibly social.

I'm aware that not every kid who goes to a regular school is going to have incredible social skills. Just like how every home school kid isnt going to have poor social skills.

But there is something to being surrounded by peers and having to interact with them day in and day out that you don't get from home schooling.
PHP is interpreted and Elixir is compiled. Comparing them to Ruby and Python make no sense as they are interpreted as well.

The fact that Elixir, a compiled language, known for speed, is slower than PHP is surprising. As far as "Most PHP libs are wrappers over C code". That's just not true. Most PHP libs are in PHP
Ah, the regs have changed and we can now have a full socket in the bathroom as long as it's far enough from the bath (.6 + 2.5 = 3.1m from edge of bath), which rules out most bathrooms...
This is how a fintech Chief Compliance Officer explained it to me:

The industry that the SEC regulates is full of clever people who have a financial incentive to push rules as far as possible.

The concern is that if they provided a clear line between what is allowed and disallowed, that everyone will go right up to the line and then find creative ways to exploit how it’s defined.

The SEC prefers to keep the line fuzzy so that actors keep their behavior well on the “allowed” side.
> Dave Grusch and Karl Nell

My understanding is that Grusch has not testified that he had direct knowledge/eyewitness/evidence to alien tech, but instead “has been told of…” from people who have. Nell simply vouches for Grusch’s integrity and adds no direct evidence right?

That said, despite all the latest publicity we don’t really know anymore now than we did before. Still zero actual evidence and honestly nothing that hasn’t already been out there for decades: “blue beret” crash retrieval units, Colonel Corso, Lazar, Jesse Marcel. All we have that is different is a person willing to testify to congress that he heard some rumors and a congress willing to hear it.
Yes of course religious people only have kids because they just want those government subsidies, not because God told us to "be fruitful and multiply"
ObjFW 1.0 was just released, an portable Objective-C framework
Why is your pessimistic view any more valid or probable?
Some C programs, not all. For example Andy Sloane’s donut.c. Granted, it is beautifully obfuscated but still, it uses just standard C features.

General purpose computing will always be an affront to rentiers.
I think the difference is that network gear is supposed to handle the whole spec and gracefully deal with (drop) things that aren't to spec. If there was a law that all cars had to be able to get hit by another car and keep going without issue (and this was physically plausible), then it would be similar.
Now there's an ill-considered choice of acronym.
Python is the scriptiest lang that is mostly understandable from other popular C-based langs like C++, Java, JavaScript.

Ruby is too different; too many symbols and idiosyncrasies inherited from Perl, Smalltalk, and created by itself.

That is the root reason why they diverged and Python ended up with the scientific ecosystem.

This is further evidenced by Ruby’s popularity only shooting up with Rails, when 2005 web 2.0 attracted lots of non-CS people to come into the field with no prior C-based experience, so they learned Ruby, html, and css fresh.
That common secret is usually an ssh key which is held somewhere secure hopefully with auditable access.

For bootstrapping you can bake a bootstrapping key into your installer which is removed after the system is configured.
Tesla is lifetime profitable. And succeeded in a managed market economy with incentives available to everyone (See NEVI for a current example)

There's smartphones for less than $50 but some still can't afford them. And there's lots of cheaper EV's everywhere. The Moroccan can buy a BYD instead. Just like he got a $50 phone from Sagem(can't remember what they are called today).

No one is taking his diesel away. And he bought it third/fourth hand anyway. More likely petrol engines go away than diesels

The developing world isn't a strange place to me. I was born there. People marvel at how you spend so much on pets while there's people hungry and homeless around you
The courts do that. They're typically reasonable about that.
Same in Canada, though with 600V 3-phase instead of 480V, mostly.
Same, I was at the level I was directly working with Directors and indirectly with VPs.

I literally had projects blocked because I didn’t provide a promo vision for the Directors to make VP if they funded me. This is business critical shit, my direct supervisor literally told me this. They were angry I didn’t devote any time to showing the promo opportunities. No complaint with any part of my justification beyond that.

Business case was open and shut, low technical requirements, minimal overhead and low cost. All they wanted to know was how to make VP, that’s it.

So yeah, I quit.

(Also to the down-voters who likely work at Google, if you’re not in the room when decisions are made you don’t know how the company works.)
There is also a video, but it's in Russian :(

I mean you can simplify it even more into "haves" and "have nots" but there's a reason nobody serious does that anymore, because it doesn't give you any useful information, nor does those three categories.

That doesn't change the fact that almost everybody wants to think of themselves as middle class, but especially here on HN most people are definitely not. If you make $200k cash plus RSUs on top of that you may not be rich but you're certainly on your way there and you're certainly not middle class in the way that carpenter making $75k with his stay at home wife in Houston is.
I got the "13 Pro Max" at launch, and I feel like I'm not even halfway done with it. Still has plenty of storage, still does everything I want a iPhone to do, and the camera quality is excellent.

I'll probably get the battery replaced at some point, but otherwise, the hardware is solid. I may not need another phone until the 17 or 18 is out.
There was a video recently where YouTuber diodegonewild was fixing old power supply, he turned it on, listened to it and said "the transformer has DC offset on it, because it's humming at 50Hz, the magnetostriction doesn't care about polarity, healthy transformer hums at 100Hz, I think one of the diodes in bridge rectifier is bad" and he was right.

When you look at these ex-airfield housing estates from above, you can usually spot the telltale triangle pattern where the runways used to be.
Ahhh yes, there is no way windows could be targeted because it is the most popular OS (especially in Business). Removing Windows would allow us to live a malware free utopia...
I've never interpreted the distinction as being primarily about IQ, but about how that intelligence is applied. Rotators engineer physical reality, wordcels engineer social dynamics. I think the rotator disgruntlement comes from the fact that wordcels have the capacity to extract more value than they create. It is much harder for rotators to extract more value than they create. This is complicated by the fact that rotators, particularly in tech, are building systems deployed by wordcels to extract value from society (e.g., ad-tech).
Does this support local development?
> It’s not like public school inherently does better at this

I don't think this is true. Take those same kids with poor social skills and home school them instead. They almost certainly wont have any better social skills. Meanwhile plenty of kids who did learn strong social skills by being around others in school would have worse social skills if you home schooled them.

I'm not saying regular schools get a 100 out of 100 on this. I'm saying they do a significantly better job at this than homeschooling does EVEN WHEN you add in measures like sports, group activities, ect that op mentioned doing.
Right. And you don't owe anyone that. Everyone is different, and different jobs require different skills. You're not less than others because you don't like programming or you don't do well at it. You have other valuable skills! Programming isn't the end-all be-all.
That's what people spend their entire working lives doing, so they can retire on those savings.
The majority of Russians are responsible.
Technically they function fine as low as 95V for the worst case scenario, if they're well built.
[Author] I see it differently. I see that Anyscale built some really great infrastructure for scaling AI that could be applied to many domains. What we've seen is the market shift to LLMs, and we've been able to adapt our tech to new domains.

Our prices are competitive (starting at 25c per million tokens) because of the tech we've built that maximizes GPU utilization. That's what we do better than anyone else.

I still think GPT-4 is best LLM out there. It's just very expensive and you don't need all that horsepower you can save bucketloads of money.
The purpose of the department of justice is to uphold the rule of law, not to minimize its own legal expenses.
I'll approach this from a "general tech career perspective" ... but here are some I can think of that either I missed 'early', or was told early:

- finding friends at work - it's SUPER easy to ignore making relationships that are more than "just work" when you first start

- learning about stuff outside "your wheelhouse" - whether it's how other teams work, what other teams do, or general happenings outside your specialty, staying informed of at least some developments outside your [current] specialty is very helpful

- always bring a 'prop' into meetings - whether it's a notebook (legal pads are great), beverage, etc ... bring something with you: this does - at least - two things ... give you something to focus on when you "don't have to pay attention", give you a plausible reason for pausing before answering when asked a question (refer to what you have written down and/or take a sip of beverage to calm you mind before speaking)

- read the codebase (or other role-relevant 'extracurricular activity') ... you can learn a HUGE amount from what others have done (including their missteps and failures). As a friend of mine likes to tell people, "profit from my experience" ... at least have the common decency to make "new" mistakes!

- remember others have "been there" and "done that" ... if you can leverage others' work for your benefit, do it!

- corollary to the previous ... share what you did / mistakes you commit / lessons you learned ... there is NO better way to advance than to be able to explain what you know to someone else (yes, it's not easy - but it is totally worth it)

- don't burn yourself out: you're being paid for 8[ish] hours a day. Do NOT stay for 12 hours just because you are "new" or "have a lot to learn". Downtime is absolutely VITAL!

- ASK others often ... better to learn from others' experience than to make all the same mistakes yourself (though of course, you need to balance "don't be a pest", too)
It's only really an option if you've been paid handsomely enough to rack up some savings beforehand though, and being able to take 6 months or a year out of work entirely at your own expense isn't an opportunity affordable to everyone.

I managed a month and it wasn't enough. Not a chance I could have managed much more than that though without eating into my emergency funds and becoming anxious.

Voluntarily taking unpaid time off is a massive luxury.
Indeed, Maslow's hierarchy of needs and all that.

The root cause is that retirement is not something the government should be doing in the first place. It should be your individual responsibility to save, and your individual choice what to do with that money. There exist very safe financial instruments like target-date funds that would be perfectly up to the task, with only a tiny bit of regulation on top.

None of these problems exist in that world.

Naturally, in countries that implement compulsory pension schemes, it's also not something you can easily remove: lots of people depend on government pensions and/or have planned their lives around them, it would be an unmitigated disaster to just say "we aren't doing this any longer".

Foremost I am absolutely of the opinion that plastic in the ocean is not a good thing.

But I was surprised to hear that at this point, according to at least one person that studies this, removal may have consequences as well. It’s been there long enough for new eco systems to evolve.

This was rather enlightening in that nothing is as simple as it seems.
