Preach it.
Air rights differ from county to county, and even property to property in some counties. 500ft is a fair ballpark figure.

Either way, you don't need to be above a property to spy on it from the air, although I seriously doubt that type of restraint would be exercised by NYPD. A motivated lawyer might be able to get damages for unlawful search - but you'd be venturing into an area, er, volume where there is probably no precedent.

Qualcomm's 'Holy Grail': Generative AI Is Coming to Phones Soon
The IANA timezone database uses place names (mostly city names) for that reason. "Europe/Paris" in that example I gave is very not "Central European Summer Time" (or "CEST"), Paris' current timezone name. The IANA's timezone database tracks key cities and especially ones with historically unique timezones or that have shifted between timezones.

It certainly doesn't list all places, but it lists most of the key ones that have carried weight on timezones, and is about the best database a lot of internet nerds have managed to accumulate of a lot of the complexity of current (and historic) timezones by roughly place name.

I am willing, I have been using the "load more" interface for as long as its been around. its terrible. from my EXPERIENCE with both systems, pagination is the more pleasant experience. with pagination, you can even link to a specific page, to direct someone to the beginning of an important sequence of comments. you might have this with the new system, but before you know it you're running into a load more again, making Ctrl+F useless.
How many seats do the "small number of large cities" have compared to the rural parts of the country? I would argue the rural parts have more seats hence determine who gets in power.

I was so deeply disappointed by Ian Cutress's evolution in the space. While at AnandTech I noticed his editorial bits, his subjective interpretation of the objective numbers had an unmistakable bias towards Intel... middling numbers at the peak of Intel's complacency were suddenly "great" in his articles. At one point I think he very publicly went out of his way to excuse Intel for lying in some benchmark or demo. That was a new low for AT's editorial standard.

Then he went on his way and I tried following him to see if he brings some quality independent content but it's so derivative. There's no deep insight, no originality. He's just reprocessing info from primary sources. At one point I felt like watching reaction videos and eventually decided to stick with those primary sources. I hope he finds his niche though.
Proof of Archive
True.

Moreover, here as in most other writings about linear algebra that I have seen, there is the very bad habit of describing the more complex operations as being composed from dot products.

On modern CPUs, dot products must be avoided, because like all reduction operations they consist of one chain of dependent operations, so their speed is limited by the latency of the fused multiply-add operations, instead of being limited by the much higher throughput of the FMA operations.

When vectors are multiplied with vectors, there is no alternative for dot products, so the only way to accelerate them is to reorder the operations into a tree, to be able to overlap a part of them, which are independent.

When arrays with more dimensions are multiplied, e.g. matrices with vectors or matrices with matrices, the multiplications correspond with nested for loops, i.e. 2 nested loops for matrix-vector multiplication and 3 nested loops for matrix-matrix multiplication.

The nested loops can be reordered arbitrarily. In each case, one of the possible loop orders has in the innermost loop the computation of a dot product.

This is the only order mentioned in the parent article and in most other linear algebra manuals. However, this order is exactly the worst possible computationally.

For 2 or more nested loops, there is always another order where the innermost operation is a so-called AXPY operation (the BLAS function name). AXPY means the scalar A multiplied by the vector X Plus the vector Y, with the result stored in Y. AXPY operations are always better than dot products, because the FMA operations are independent, so they can be pipelined, but for 3 or more nested loops there are better orders, where the innermost loop needs much less load and store operations than for AXPY.

For 3 or more nested loops, there is always an order where the innermost operation is a tensor product of 2 vectors. This is a more attractive operation than both AXPY and dot products. If the tensor product of 2 vectors with N elements is stored in registers, then its computation needs N+N loads from memory, but N*N FMA operations, so if there are enough registers so that N>2, there will be much more FMA than loads, allowing the full utilization of the execution units of a modern CPU.

In conclusion, matrix-vector products must not be described as being composed of N dot products that are executed separately for each element of the result vector, but as being the sum of N AXPY operations, which are accumulated into the result vector.

Similarly, a matrix-matrix product must not be described as being composed of N^2 dot products, one for each element of the result matrix, but as being the sum of N vector-vector tensor products, which are accumulated into the result matrix.

Such descriptions would be much more useful in practice, where the definitions based on dot products are just a hindrance.
The quality of the embeddings is a limiting factor for this sort of search - OpenAI text-ada embeddings are great but that removes the local aspect, and the better huggingface models are too big. With the model sizes increasing it’s hard to see what the path will be for local/offline.
It depends on the place. But generally speaking if there are tickets to be paid (that is, if riding the bus isn't completely free to the rider) you can assume the operation is at least partially funded by the people that use the service. Which statistically tend to be poorer than people that ride private cars

Thanks for the info. I saw the OÜ and the registered address in Tallinn and thought it was based here. I can’t edit my original comment now unfortunately.
The chart in the article is deaths per capita. Deaths per mile driven would be more relevant. Americans drive much more than people in the other countries mentioned (https://internationalcomparisons.org/environmental/transport...), a large part (but not all) of the discrepancy is due to that.
Apple's system used a perceptual hash. Not cryptographic hashes. The hash databases were not auditable and were known to contain false positives. The threshold for viewing reported matches was not auditable and could have been changed at any time. I hope your expert testimony was more careful.

Not OP but

> I don't comprehend how you made no mistakes on the journey after drafting the PCBs and writing drivers. From my POV as a software developer, C has so many pitfalls that it is incomprehensible to me that things will Just Work, especially in the context of something that is meant to run for a very long time and not be "restarted."

You aren't meant to make no mistakes, just only make recoverable mistakes. In a lot of cases you can rely on your hardware for this. Watchdog Timers are specifically intended for this. You set up a watchdog when you deploy the device and your software has to periodically "pet" the watchdog or the system triggers some action. In practice this is used to verify that the software never gets stuck or else it triggers a recovery/restart sequence and maybe sends out an alert. The end goal shouldn't be bug free but "even with bugs it eventually recovers and keeps working unless the hardware physically dies".

> Why do sensor things at all? What is the ROI for the person who needs that stuff? I mean this in no derogatory sense, I really admire this work.

Once again not the OP but I could see this being useful. They are recording wave patterns on or around a reef. That could be used for modelling how reefs can buffer water conditions (ex: for the purpose of constructing man made analogues) or as part of a greater sensor suite for documenting how "weather" impacts reef ecosystems.

And you would want a system you can deploy and leave unattended for long periods of time since every trip out costs money and depending on what you are specifically researching, simply returning to the site could interfere with/disrupt the experiment.

The line editor experience of building a stack and calling a function, I have not really found again. Lisp REPLs are nice but something about using the stack abstraction as the whole language.

So many amazing memories.

It was summer, 1994. I was 12, we had to move houses and my parents let me buy a 50ft phone cord to connect a modem in my room. My mom was a teacher and found me access to our local university's Internet dialup. Dialup terminal programs to connect into their VMS server. VMS had telnet which was enough to connect to all the MUDs I read about on my local BBS. I think I had just upgraded to 14.4, 28.8 wasn't even out yet.

During the summers, I would stay up all night, lay in bed pretending asleep when my dad had to get up for work in the morning, and then get back up to keep at it.

Entire virtual worlds to explore, basically text MMOs, in 1994. I was in Kentucky, felt like the only person who knew. It changed the course of my life forever, just the magic of it all.

Lots of "anthropomorphic Furry" MUCKs and TrekMUSE.

I’m surprised to find this on the 3rd or 4th page of Hacker News! It seems pretty impressive —- of course, the lack of code on GitHub might be partly responsible for that; there’s so much interesting AI stuff happening that an impressive page of results without either a detailed explanation, or an executable one, could easily fall through the cracks.
Would love to hear about your experience!
One thing that surprised me when visiting Japan was that there are a chain of stores dedicated to Peanuts, often focusing on a single character. e.g. "Snoopy" stores.

Turns out, the same company that owns Hello Kitty bought the Japanese rights to Peanuts, and they seem to have been quite successful with it. If you want Peanuts merchandise, visit Japan!
I was only 12 when Shoemaker-Levy banged into Jupiter in 1994, so wiser minds or those with better memories may correct me.

At the time, the leading theory for what killed the dinosaurs was still quite terrestrial - volcanos and climate change.

There was increasing evidence for the meteorite impact theory, but a big block was “Space is big, outside the early formation of the Solar System comets and asteroids don’t just slam into planets”.

Then comet Shoemaker-Levy showed us that they actually do, perhaps still quite frequently, with Jupiter playing an imperfect shield for Earth. It was one of the last roadblocks to the now-widely accepted impact theory (still not ‘solved’ of course, and perhaps only part of the extinction puzzle).

Dinosaurs were back in the zeitgeist thanks to Jurassic Park (1993), but Shoemaker-Levy and the impact theory gave us the 1998 twin movies Armageddon and (the better of the two, imho) Deep Impact.
If nuclear waste is radioactive, it means that it can be refined into usable products for power production.

The dangerous stuff that's left over is dangerous because it was formally cheaper to bury it and mine more than to refine it .

Not to mention the majority of nuclear reactors were designed to create weapons grade materials which was an equally wasteful activity creative even more waste that needed refinement back to usable fuel.

Now that's coming to an end since power production is far more important. There may be a point Where we will see ourselves digging up nuclear waste sites to recover the left over refuel.

> there are so few 32-bit systems today

Some of the most widely used MCUs for embedded Rust are 32-bit. But typically you want to be explicit about your sizes when doing embedded anyways.

I think using usize is mostly a convenience that lets you fit values into standard library functions.

Again, trust what? Do all roads lead to porn?

> Furthermore, in many jurisdictions parents are civilly or even potentially criminally liable for their childrens’ activities. If you’re in one of those jurisdictions you have a duty to prevent your child from breaking the relevant laws or other rules.

Really grasping at straws here. What laws are you worried your child will break that would reasonably reach the level you're worried about?

Next.js is pretty convenient, not sure why people find it so inconvenient. With the pages directory, each page is its own page, just like in the PHP days. Why do you think it's an MVC pattern? I don't use Next like that at all, it's just React.

Résumé/CV: https://gigatexal.blog/pages/the-ideal-data-engineering-resu...

Email: alex@alexandarnarayan.com

Context: I’m currently working as a senior data engineer / team lead. I’ve been at it for 3+ years but been in the industry for 11, started as a DBA and moved into datawarehouses, sw engineering then as an SRE, and now as a data engineer. I love it.

I’m looking for contracting work no more than 10 hours a week, preferably 5-7. I can set up pipelines, create warehouses for you, create reports, dashboards, the lot!

Would be open to relocating back to the US if needed for a role at like Apple or Google.
You can take salary and divide by 2080 to get hourly. If your contract is a 1099 b2b, you can easily double that.
What's so unreasonable about this comment? Could someone explain?

I think, in other words, the cost to guard and physically secure a reactor doesn't depend on the size of the reactor, just the existence of the reactor [1]. A large reactor would require the same defense as a small one.

Note that the majority of the cost of nuclear is the people [2].

- Extremely strong team - backgrounds from Oxford, Harvard, TUM, CODE and more

- Grew from 4 to 11 people within a year, and looking to 2.5x next year as well

- Early enough to make a significant contribution and have the 'early stage' startup' feeling; late enough to be significantly derisked (we are already profitable)

- Strong onsite culture in hip Berlin office

- Competitive salaries and equity compensation

We're looking for senior engineers to join us in various positions and are actively hiring! :) We are into radical candor, shipping code fast and sometimes being a bit crazy. Feel free to reach out to me at arne@kombo.dev or apply at https://www.workatastartup.com/companies/kombo (mention Hacker News) if this sounds interesting!
Well, unfortunately autoboxong will silently call valueOf(). So

Integer val1 = 5;
Integer val2 = 5;
Integer val3 = 200;
Integer val4 = 200;

will have you ending up with val1 and val2 being equal with ==, but val3 and val4 won't be.

The general reply is 'you're holding it wrong', but that doesn't make it any less absurd. That's what the PHPers say about "123" < "456A" < "78" < "123".
