Note that this estimate disagrees with the wholly inappropriate calculator you cited, which will never produce a value exceeding the higher value by more than 3 dB.

OSHA almost certainly had to empirically determine the estimate, either with a real human head, a fake one, or some numerical model or something.
Backend is riskier. If you mess up the frontend, revert and redeploy. Easy. If you mess up the backend (data corruption, data removal, data leaking, etc.) you are in hell.

Look up IPCC's CMIP6 project.

I think you need an expert team of software engineers, physicists and climate experts that will either build good climate models or decipher the mess that is the current models variability.

Honestly, looking at the code of some models I don't think there's much hope in understanding them to the point where you know where the deviations are coming from, it's probably easier putting together new models that are subject to much more strict testing, unit testing, evaluations against real world data than salvaging the current mess. And just throw out the models which fail the testing.
I’m comparing my job to union jobs in software. You think unions are the answer. I know they aren’t.

What does my boss’s paycheck have to do with my argument? How does your comment convince me i’m not way better off than you and other union NPCs?
Ask HN: What's Your JavaScript Performance “Gotcha” or Tip?
I'll start... I just learned that Javascript's "shift" operation is O(n) and not O(1).

I always thought both queue operations (shift/unshift) were somehow implementing a queue under the hood, but now is obvious in retrospect that it's not... simply due to the fact that what's actually under the hood is an ArrayList (or some V8 optimized rendition of it, perhaps).

I was watching an algorithm course, and this one surprised me. He also mentioned, many people get that wrong in coding interviews when asked to implement a queue which may involve 100's of thousands of items.
Ask HN: Does OpenAI sell your prompts to data brokers?
If you turn off history and training, you as the user can no longer see your history, and OpenAI won't train with your data.

But can customer prompts and company data still be resold to data brokers?
I’d say they’re more like the Disney of video games. Nintendo absolutely loves using the “vault” strategy pioneered by Disney: sell your games for a limited time and the put them in the vault, only to bring them back again later when the hype has built up. It’s a pretty infuriating strategy for anyone who just wants to buy their favourite Nintendo games.
There’s a whole chain of department stores and supermarkets in the UK that’s ‘worker owned’ John Lewis which also operates Waitrose supermarkets. It’s a partnership, everyone that works there becomes a partner in the firm after a probation period. It’s a successful business; there’s a John Lewis in every big city in Britain and Waitrose is in many large towns and cities.
You mean like HN? Afaik, HN doesn’t have separate people for the frontend and the backend. And yet HN is the best place for hackers.
A twisted tale of memory optimization
This paper (AoT) achieves similar performance to Tree of Thoughts (ToT) but using far less queries, which makes it very suitable for tasks that require lower latency or less traffic at a reduced cost.
I think the biggest problem is treating "polarity" as a single axis. Many subjects align that way in practice, but the ones that don't are important.

It's nice to see some effort behind distributed moderation, but this is still too centralized to realize that dream.

NFTs were supposed to be an end-run around the Howey Test. ICOs were clearly securities offerings, and the SEC shut down most of those. NFTs were specifically designed to evade that test, by claiming they were really "digital artworks". This one, though, was clearly marketed as Make Money Fast. The Securities Act of 1934 has a "duck test" definition of security - if it is marketed, bought, sold, and held as a money-making thing, it's a security. The contract terms don't matter. This is because creative financial scams long predate 1934.
Ideally you should have no more than a dozen state driven components in a page. 1000 is a very large number for any state driven system such as React. Here are a few things.
1) use a custom spreadsheet component which manages its own state and you manage only one state
2) if not, use key to make sure you do not have a high component turnover on every event
3) provide file upload where they can create content elsewhere and upload to you

You are right. BE is declarative hence solid (pun) once put in place. FE is design, aesthetics, ease of use, beauty, culture, above all functional. Hence tougher.
Clock speeds certainly aren't orders of magnitude faster than they were 20 years ago. The vast majority of the performance improvements of the past two decades have gone into improved capability, stability, and security. I don't consider streaming 4K video to be "bloat" personally.
> It should be noted that he is less sanguine about letting misinformation run free when he is complaining about inaccurate press coverage of cryptocurrency. (Pretty much like anyone who complains about inaccurate press coverage, honestly.) It's always easier to be sanguine about someone else's misinformation that affects other people.

How can you conflate someone expressing an opinion on their "micro-blog" to their followers who have opted in to hear such opinions with the idea of having tweets arbitrarily interjected with "expert opinions".

Even though Vitalik is one of the world's experts on crypto and cryptocurrency and blockchain systems, he would never suggest to be given the authority to directly annotate incorrect tweets about crypto with his own expert opinion. It's pretentious to believe that such a thing is desirable or could ever be neutral. Such a system is ALWAYS capturable and corruptible. So of course it's risky. That's why free speech being a social and cultural value is as important as it being a law for governments to respect. Meaningless is the law if a culture is too prudish or too conforming to begin with.

If Vitalik wishes to persuade people away from bad opinions about crypto, doing so at his leisure on his own micro-blog or regular blog is certainly a preferable option to acting as some sort of Minister of Truth.
I hope no one will be disappointed, who has done a good job as an employee suddenly finding himself replaced by a snippet of code, after the weights have been sufficiently adjusted.

It's like slurping the very last capital a worker has out of its mind and soul. Most companies exist to make a profit, not to employ humans.

Paired with the pseudo-mocked-tech-bro self-peddling BS this announcement reads like dystopia to me. Not that technological progress is bad, but technology should empower users (for real, by giving them more control) not increase power imbalances.

Let's see how many people who cheered today will cheer just as happily in 2028. My bet: just a few.

I've spent hours helping my students debug their Rust programs of incorrect array-indexing logic, incorrectly-reasoned loop invariants, incorrect conditional logic, and everything in between. They're not double-deleting raw pointers, but then again, most C++ programs don't use raw pointers these days either...

"Rust makes a few classes of bugs impossible to write by construction" is a very nice feature of the language. But I'm really turned off by how insufferable the Rust community is (which shines through in the OP's blog post and several comments elsewhere in the responses): it's never the quote at the start of this paragraph; it's always "writing software in anything but Rust is fundamentally irresponsible!" or "if a Rust program compiles, it must be correct!" No, not even close.
Do you have an alternative system in mind? I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. Should there be a purity test for lawyers to make sure they're 100% sincere in their lawsuits?
The first hack is to be honest with yourself. Everybody is busy but at the same time people easily spend 3-5 hours on their phone, which used to be TV. Most people do have time. So be honest with yourself and look at that weekly usage report.

It's OK if it looks bad, it looks bad for most of us. I'm just saying to acknowledge uncomfortable facts.

Whether you have the energy to use that time differently is another matter. I can share that it will become ever harder as you age. It's a typical tech/knowledge work problem. Pay is good but the price is high.

I have friends having many different professions and their skill set is largely stable over time. The idea that one must make daily effort in their free time to learn new things and do side projects is ludicrous to them.

That's the nature of tech. Complain all you want but it's not going away. So stop complaining and be pragmatic. Don't learn random things, make a short list of things that count. That are marketable and in demand. Next, cut each topic up into tiny tasks. Make it achievable.

Do your React "hello world" on day 1. Spend a few minutes on it in the evening and then reward yourself by going back to your Netflix. Read one deep article. Solve one bug. Do tiny stuff and do it all the time. Keep the train moving. The only thing that matters is that it's moving, don't worry about how much it moves on any given day.

I just told you it's not a conspiracy, you're tilting at windmills.

I have not proposed a conspiracy to create movies like this, I don't think there's a cabal of billionaires who dreamed up and coordinate this as a deliberate propaganda campaign. I assert that the Hollywood system creates movies like this because because of the way it is structured and the nature of making movies. People who fit the mold and are naturally inclined to make movies like this get promoted and given opportunities by like-minded people. People who don't jive with the crowd never have the opportunity to make movies of their own, because making movies (particularly blockbusters) requires access to a system with lots of capital and manpower.

I'm not the one looking for conspiracies. You're looking for a conspiracy in what I'm saying so that you can dismiss it. Read Manufacturing Consent.
I disagree with this take. There are certainly lines of what is and is not ethical behaviour (where they are is highly debatable), but the vendor doesn't have a monopoly on deciding that.
Unless the fake ad was actually intended to drive traffic to the original product, which is an obvious perverse incentive introduced by this tool.
Does that happen sometimes? Surely. But more often than not, founder led companies who have personal attachment to the outcomes deliver far better than some self-interested, career stepping-stone, decision-by-committee corporate blob. See Nvidia, Facebook, Stripe, and Tesla compared to Intel, IBM, GM, and PayPal.
right I see, gotcha. I'll repost as a ShowHN when I remove the waitlist next time
It's not a circular definition. "Obscene" is a term used for content that has been deemed illegal. It is not a general term for sexual content. It is not a term for content that is illegal sometimes but not other times. It is not a euphemism for material that is restricted to adult consumption, or for explicit pornography.

more charitably, but still repetitious: when one says that something is obscene, that's saying that it should be illegal in any context; that it has no value. A drawing of two people sucking each others dicks has surely met that bar in the past - information about birth control has met that bar in the past. But I do not think the suggestion was that drawings of gay men having sex should be illegal, what was being suggested was that it is not appropriate for children. That's not a question of obscenity.
Is the size info compile-time or runtime in Fortran?
You can set a PVC's reclaim policy to "Retain" (default is "Delete"). When the namespaced claim is deleted, the volume will still be around until it is manually deleted. The docs even suggest to do this for "precious data".
What I have experienced is that engineers without a degree learn in their free time the “fun” stuff: Golang, K8s, assembly, hacking, frameworks, sql, etc. They usually don’t learn things like context-free grammars, logic, mutexes, the kind of stuff you learn at university.

People with degrees and who also learn in their free time (like me) get to learn both: the fun stuff (now) and the foundations of computer science and software engineering (back then).
Teslas monitoring system is about as effective as Oceangate’s continuous monitoring system.

From one of the posts above. The monitoring system could not detect if a person was in the seat or not, and would autonomously drive with a giant teddy bear, a giant unicorn and a completely empty seat and repeatedly hit a moving object the size of a child.

>Except for the part where they can not even detect trivial cases. One of the easiest possible cases, a giant teddy bear in the seat “holding” the wheel (by attaching a simple weight to the wheel), is determined to be a attentive driver [1]. A T-ball and they strike out.
The inability to robustly solve simple, obvious cases and not failing safe is indicative of a sloppy development and validation process that is incompatible with the deployment of a safe safety-critical device.

This is not at all a good way to compare.

Engineering hours: there's a good chance you pay for that once, and that solves the problem.

10 SSDs: will require rack space, electricity, PCIe slots, timely replacement, management software... most of these expenses will be recurring expenses. If done once, sometimes the existing infrastructure can amortize these expenses (i.e. you might have already had empty space in a rack, you might have already had spare PCIe slots, etc.), but amortization will only work in small numbers.

Another aspect of this trade-off: systems inevitably lose performance per unit of equipment as they grow due to management expenses and increased latency. So, if you keep solving problems by growing the system, overall, the system will become more and more "sluggish" until it becomes unserviceable.

On the other hand, solutions which minimize the number of system resources necessary to accomplish a task increase overall performance per unit. In other words, create a higher-quality system, which is an asset in its own right.
I think almost each startup is focusing on enterprise as it sounds lucrative but selling to an enterprise might qualitatively offset its benefits in some way (very painful).

Personally I love what Evenup Law is doing. Basically find a segment of the market that runs like small businesses and that has a lot of repetitive tasks they have to do themselves and go to them. Though I can't really think of other segments like this :)

To what end do they need lidar/infrared data? Like, what are they actually trying to do? Meet regulatory compliance?

And what does "more efficient" mean in this context?

I guess in some sense I'm saying that shouldn't the explanation for this be something like: "owners of gas pipelines need to meet regulations imposed by Federal Agency X. They are currently spending $y dollars on it. Using our product they can be compliant and only spend (y-large number)."

or: "owners of gas piplines are at risk of multi-billion dollar fines and lawsuits. Right now they can't properly measure where they are leaking gas. Our solution lets them find the problem spots and only costs $y per year for them to mitigate their large risk"
The simple fact that you never ever heard about something like that, tells you all you need to know aboit the long term prospect of business owned by "the collective". In my part of the world we have a saying " what fattens the cows is the owner's gaze". A company that belongs to everyone working there belongs to no one, and it will eventually become a freeloader's dream. I have heard of one or two examples of this things being tried, one even a restaurant close tomy home town. It never lasts.
It would really help me to use the same methodology but compare it to people smoking like they did in the 1980s.
I don't find this convincing at all. If the producer takes all the responsibility and the consumer none everyone is just incentivized to move their production abroad instead of doing anything constructive. We just need to find a country willing to take all the factories and all the blame, and the rest of the world can call themselves innocent while worldwide emissions stay the same.
Client should pay at least 3x times as much to get the same service from drones. Again, it's not scalable using drones that's why our clients keep using helicopter on 90% of their missions.
A substantial portion can handle both, but opt out of doing so due to the pay not matching up, instead getting less than those who specialize due to it mostly being a cost-cutting move from the employing company.

People underestimate either side. You can get very very deep in both of them, it's no longer just about putting HTML elements on the page, or sending back a response. They've both become oceans, from exploring 3D content to computing on the edge to an entire orchestration of tools to manage as little downtime as possible.

I don't see any reason to think so. As an early Birdwatch/CN contributor and also a long-time user of the API, I've always thought their back end stuff was pretty great. API v2 also rolled out pre-Musk and was actually great until he crippled it with absurd limits. I'm not going to pay thousand$ for the privilege of churning out free network analysis; last time I checked you could only collect 1500 tweets/month before a very expensive meter started running on your API calls.

> remote work is harmful

The article makes no such argument; it merely says that shifts in how people work may cause problems. Everyone wins if we try and anticipate problems and prevent them. No one is being manipulated and no one is pulling any strings here.

I can claim anyone and anything I don't like is being "directed", without evidence of course. Fact is, sometimes a change (a neutral change, or even a good change) can also cause unintended side-effects, and that's not a conspiracy.
I suspect there'll also be a ton of people who suffer from hearing damage because 3M hid the truth about their faulty product but who never join a class action, and that for many (if not most) who do try to get compensation whatever "payout" they get will be nothing compared to what they've lost.

Hearing loss is probably something most of us will deal with at some point, and I've spoken to a lot of people who are already dealing with it and every one of them wishes they'd had more time with good hearing. It changes their daily lives and limits their ability to experience and interact with the world around them.
