Since I'm slacking off, here's a straightforward, not at all optimized Go implementation:

package main

import (
"bytes"
"crypto/sha256"
"encoding/hex"
"fmt"
)

var (
_chars = []byte("0123456789abcdef")
_names = []string{"zero", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five", "six", "seven", "eight", "nine", "a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"}
_size = len(_chars)
)

func main() {
hexsum := make([]byte, 64)
for i1 := 0; i1 < _size; i1++ {
for i2 := 0; i2 < _size; i2++ {
for i3 := 0; i3 < _size; i3++ {
for i4 := 0; i4 < _size; i4++ {
for i5 := 0; i5 < _size; i5++ {
for i6 := 0; i6 < _size; i6++ {
for i7 := 0; i7 < _size; i7++ {
s := fmt.Sprintf("The SHA256 for this sentence begins with: %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s and %s.", _names[i1], _names[i2], _names[i3], _names[i4], _names[i5], _names[i6], _names[i7])
sum := sha256.Sum256([]byte(s))
hex.Encode(hexsum, sum[:])
prefix := []byte{_chars[i1], _chars[i2], _chars[i3], _chars[i4], _chars[i5], _chars[i6], _chars[i7]}
if bytes.HasPrefix(hexsum, prefix) {
fmt.Printf("%s\n", s)
fmt.Printf("%s\n", hexsum)
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

Takes a few minutes on common consumer hardware. There's exactly one hit.

(Easiest optimization is wrapping the loop body in a goroutine. GOEXPERIMENT=loopvar really makes this nicer btw.)

The reply is obviously more interesting, need to come up with a lot of variations.
Same here. I played Last of Us 2 when it came out and didn’t realize how big of a toll it took on me. It put me on edge and left me exhausted. I don’t play video games anymore either, except for some laid back iOS games.
Yeah that's the philosophical dilemma here
As someone who's a bit disappointed by the app, here's my perspective -

1. In the beginning, these were completely free apps with no limitations (that I remember).
2. Then some features required a payment (if you were getting it from the play store apparently. I don't know about fdroid but I don't think that was advertised - and yes, apps like TaskbarX do advertise that they're free elsewhere.)
3. People called it (rightfully, in my opinion) akin to a bait-and-switch.

"But wait, you never paid anything! What's the problem?"

Well, if they were never offered under the guise of "Hey here's a foss app that's free!" - like ZorinOS - it might have been an easier pill to swallow. Some people including me paid for the "Thank You" version because we wanted to support a dev who was doing commendable work. But if you make it paid... that's kinda crappy.

Also (maybe?) see - OpenAI happily running away with money now that they can. Do you support that decision too?
I love how the "guy was weird so he subscribed to security magazines" like it's an expected correlate with weirdness, haha. Sorry if the humour does not transmit in text, it just seems funny to me.

I guess you're referring to these magazines not being especially prescient, but rather a standard analysis and I'd agree. But on the off chance you meant the Lone Gunmen spin-off, I mean...1) same year, 2) same location, 3) same type of attack, 4) same backstory or consequence...I'd say that's pretty fucking prescient. To land a broad-strokes analysis is not specific; but this is highly specific! It's just wow.
There is no other language that does what Rust is trying to do. But that is not "using async on embedded/bare metal", this one is easy, jut use a garbage collector.
The software support just isn't there. The drivers need work, the whole ecosystem is built on CUDA not OpenCL, etc. Not to say someone that tries super hard can't do it, e.g. https://github.com/DTolm/VkFFT .
I wouldn't expect level 1 and level 2 to be able to diagnose a problem like this

level 3 (devs) should have been brought in much quicker though
Trickle down economics is a myth. You cant just shout "Job Creator!" enough to make it matter.

You(a nation-state government entity) has the power to drag someone back home to pay their taxes. If Apple went 100% based out of Ireland, you could tariff the hell out of Apple products until their sales drop to zero.

You can put sanctions on places that run offshore bank accounts where people hide their money.

You can nationalize industries that are falling apart due to the requirement to increase profit, ie rail infrastructure.

The issue is why would the elected officials who benefit from this, do something to counter it. They're fine with an inequitable world governed by the Koch Brothers' school for business fairy tales.

The economy is a sham, the government could pay people to run the farms and clothing factories and stockpile the excess rather than burn it to create scarcity. There are other ways to live beyond this narrow system of faux economic sciences.

There are millions of people in the world who buy unsubsidized Android phones for less than $60 a year in developing countries.

Even in the US, the median cost of an Android phone is less than $300 and then you expect them to pay $200 for a browser?

Besides, it’s never just a one time purchase. Is that one time purchase going to get you security updates and if so, for how long?
That is the medical term for it. PASC is another name for long covid.
There's something so emotional and compelling about the spectacle of shared tragedy (even smaller ones like oceangate).

However there's always a reminder in the back of my mind that what makes our heart leap is very poorly correlated with what things ought to scare us.

I don't know if it's possible to "Reprogram" one's heart to worry less about very high-visibility low risk things (like air travel, or terrorism in the US) and care more about statistically probable ones that SHOULD scare us (heart disease and such), but I wish it were.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwKPFT-RioU does a great job of giving a sense of what the proportions are of relative tragedies in terms of loss of life.
It's useful to situate younger people in a historical context.
It's interesting where peoples' heads are. A number of people talk about device drivers, but back then few OSes ran on more than one kind of machine, and hardware didn't change much. So there wasn't much separation between hardware and software: you wanted a block of data written to disk, well, the filesystem implemented the code to twiddle the disk hardware directly.

Unix was unusual in that it was written in a pretty high level language, an idea inherited from Multics. Most OSes were written in assembly.

Let me warm up some popcorn for when Twitter tries to claim they cannot lose their business license because the State has no power to compel them to file their annual report since doing so violates their employee's 1A rights.
For people saying, “oh this is just a reporting requirement and fear mongering over this law is a slippery-slope fallacy”: it would be, except the people behind the law have been repeatedly documented as wanting to jump headfirst down this slippery slope:

> if social media companies are forced to disclose what they do in this regard [i.e., how they moderate online content], it may pressure them to become better corporate citizens by doing more to eliminate hate speech and disinformation.

> [T]he Legislature also considered that, by requiring greater transparency about platforms’ content-moderation rules and decisions, AB 587 may result in public pressure on social media companies to ‘become better corporate citizens by doing more to eliminate hate speech and disinformation’ on their platforms. . . . This, too, is a substantial state interest.

> important first step in protecting our democracy from the dangerously divisive content that has become all too common on social media.

Note that “hate speech” and “disinformation” are not legal concepts and both include various protected speech. This is your government arguing in the open how this law in fact is a great first step towards restricting some of this protected speech.
> using generics for things like RC, ARC

There is an unstable feature for "box syntax" which both allows you to construct a `Box<T>` as let foo = box a (instead of let foo = Box::new(a)) but also to use box as a keyword in pattern matches to deref the box automatically. So
struct Foo {
value: Box<Bar>
};

let Foo { value: box Bar } (in which case value is bound to a &Bar) which was really nice.

It got subsumed into a more generic "deref patterns" project which doesn't seem to be going anywhere but I hope it does because it makes the language much more ergonomic IMO.
If dividends are earned, they'll be recorded on your 1099. From a tax perspective, it shouldn't matter if you use use them to automatically buy more shares in the same index fund, have them flow to a money market account at the broker, or transfer the amount to your checking account.

The difference is cash flow. Obviously if your only income source is dividends, at some point you'll have to sell some of the underlying asset for the cash.

4% is just a rule of thumb to give you an idea of what your savings should be relative to annual spending.
> offers a significant boost in comp over start-ups

Yes and a lot of those total comp numbers are hiding pretty reasonable base salaries behind a huge “BigTech stocks soaring hiigh”. It is still pretty rare for an Individual Contributor to make more than $250k base. Even in BigTech.

> pay a mortgage in a HCOL area out of base salary without dependency on stock

This is completely doable in startups these days. Perhaps our definition of “startup” is different? I’m using it to mean any company with VC funding that hasn’t IPO’d or been acquired by a post-IPO company.
So you just don't store the array's length near the arrays beginning but instead inside the slice-typed variable which lives somewhere else entirely. Boom, you got the best of the both worlds: trivial slicing and reliable bounds checking.
On this topic, I just finished reading "A Very Short Introduction to Planetary Systems"[0] by Raymond T. Pierrehumbert. He devotes a good portion of the book to exoplanet atmospheres. It is one of the best science books I've read. Pierrehumbert really has a knack for explaining complex material clearly and concisely. I really recommend it.

Hey, fellow IBD/autoimmune sufferer here!

By chance, have you seen a rheumatologist? I got diagnosed with spondylitis first and Crohn's second, so I took the rheumatologist > gastroenterologist path, and a rheumatologist sort of does what you describe about systemic immune monitoring.

Not perfectly, to be fair. And rheumatology is a criminally overlooked and understaffed specialty. But my rheumatologist has been really good at helping me tie together various issues that seemed unrelated but actually shared a root cause. And, immune problems being what they are, I'd wager most of his patients are in a similar boat, so the whole "let's figure out why your guts are bad AND your joints hurt AND your skin is awful AND... etc" thing is business as usual on his end.
> I think the psychological/physiological duality is false. Think of blushing for instance: embarrassment causes vasodilation.

Right, it's not a duality, the word for what you're describing is "psychosomatic".
I don't think that's necessarily fair in this context, the app's USP initially was being free and solid/good quality. Without the free part it's not the same.
Yes. Search for the phrase “Everyone wants to go to Baghdad. Real men want to go to Tehran” to see what folks were saying at the time .
It's a pretty broad judgment call, isn't it? If it effectively chills speech, it could be a 1A issue. I guess it's up to the SC to interpret.

Thr lawsuit itself points out that, if nothing else, the California bill forces companies to editorialize on what speech is considered hateful etc. under California's guidelines. That categorization itself is a modern politicized process (especially in polarized states, deep blue or deep red) and different from older 1A protections. That wasn't my argument, but is part of the lawsuit.
Many old units required pre-wash, newer units now advertise that you can get rid of pre-wash, saving time and money.
Author here. We're using the same mailgun setup that we already use to email our customers, so we're just kind of accepting that it's "good enough".

However, thanks for that link! I sent our newsletter through it and got a 5.9. -3 of that was an easy fix (no mx record for mail.orbitkit.com). I think we can get it to "super good enough" without too much trouble.
The TV cart…

That’s probably the memory for many (most?) grade schoolers, isn’t it?

Was in a gifted and talented class that morning, we had the budget for a dedicated TV in the corner that stayed on all day with a global map showing the time and the position of sunlight moving over the globe. The administrators had a master controller that switched all the TVs in all the classrooms over to the news at the same time. Have little memory of the actual news but do remember having an old, stern southern lady (the kind that would paddle you if she still could) suddenly crying quietly as we watched the news that day.

That and our similarly elderly main teacher setting time aside the day before the invasion of Iraq to talk about the seriousness of going to war and what it meant for families. How she remembers her town before Korea and Vietnam.

With hindsight I wonder why Afghanistan just didn’t get talked about in the same seriousness as the invasion of Iraq. Afghanistan just kind of quietly happened, but the build up to Iraq just held more weight.
Re: nutrition facts see the Zauderer test. The Hudson test is related.

The original plan was rejected because it was too vague regarding who would implement it. The counter-proposal from the city was accepted, therefore they will now start to work on how to best implement it. Unfortunately a large sum of the money will just be spent in planning and hiring, which is kind of typical for these public projects
Yeah. But would you say that your view was the prevailing one among people your age? Or, as I think you're implying, that you were more the odd one out, including amongst your peers?

Because unless I'm assuming wrong, I think your experience is in line with what I said.

My experience was different than yours though. It wasn't until I started mixing with more "grown ups" during college that I realized that actually the prevailing view among people even just a little older than me seemed to be in favor of the war, whereas the view I was familiar with from my own crowd of people my age was the opposite. And as I have talked to more and more people over time, I have continued to feel that this is basically correct about the prevailing view by age at that time.
It's odd to me that an image such of this is rejected unless labeled as generated by "AI", yet an image heavily edited in Photoshop or some other software with algorithms is not.

> Most people on HN have a couple of failed startups

I doubt it. There may have been a time when most people on HN were startup founders, but it doesn't seem to be the case today.

> mean you'll have likely missed a bill or two, and your credit is ruined, and you'll never get a loan.

I don't have any failed startups, but I have missed plenty of bills, including going more than a year without paying a mortgage before short selling the house.

Credit isn't perfect now, but was able to swing a home loan on reasonable terms only a couple years after; missing a few bills isn’t a “you can never get a loan for life” situation.
No matter how the internet was originally funded, most of the current infrastructure that gives us the speed and bandwidth we have today and the hardware was done by private companies.

In my experience, for small unbatchable messages, UNIX sockets are fast enough not to warrant the complexity of dealing with shared memory.

However, for bigger and/or batchable messages, shared memory ringbuffer + UNIX socket for synchronization is the most convenient yet fast IPC I've used.
It's an issue when doctors deny it. For many years, for many doctors, that was the case with CFS.
This is one of the many reasons there should be a universal data standard using a format like JSON. Heavily structured, easy to parse, easy to debug. What you lose in footprint (i.e., more disk space), you gain in system stability.

Imagine a world where everybody uses JSON and if they offer an API, you can just consume the data without a bunch of hoop jumping. Failures like this would vanish overnight.
Have you looked at tasks.org? Not sure if they're offline but iirc they're foss.
Excellent results. As I’m sure you’ll agree there are many stones left to overturn in researching how to play video games without direct human input. I’m looking forward to your next developments.
It's not even about performance. This is based purely on anecdote but IME most of the startup acquisitions of the last decade of zero interest rates have been acquihires. Top VC naturally make M&A contacts at companies acquiring startups which begets more M&A deal flow when those acquirers need more warm bodies, which leads to more press and positive feedback with market of entrepreneurs looking for funding. They get the best pick of the litter and when the company is facing the possibility of a down round or failure, they start shopping them around with their contacts.

It doesn't make for the flashy 100x unicorn returns but it's been a consistent source of 5-10x returns especially for seed and Series A/B investments where the VCs are likely to get liquidation preference up to 100% of the acquisition.
What are some of the overall interests for these recent moon missions? In the past it was for manned spy satellite and ICBM programs. Is there a similar national defense parallel being worked on with these efforts?

That is my rule of thumb - Landlords make a profit by renting to you, otherwise they wouldn't do it. So renting is always going to be more expensive than owning in the long run.
yeah, I have no idea what's going on with the time. There is a 2 hour delta between the time in the box where I hit "go" and the "current time" on the menu bar. I'm on the west coast so it would make sense if it was a 3 hour difference, or a 0 hour difference, but 2 makes no sense to me.

Unless it was a DST change? But the 2007 change only happened for the start in March.
I disagree - it is fine to talk about the broader context of research without being either deferential to one datapoint or explicitly refuting that one datapoint.

There are lots of other papers fingering EBV as a cause of ME/CFS, but there are many, many papers showing the similarities of the population with this condition and other conditions that have been shown to be psychosomatic, showing correlates between CFS-like conditions and perception of illness as stronger than past EBV infection (something not true of most other illnesses), etc.
It might be worse than human narration, but at some point the economics becomes so loopsided that it's dominance is inevitable. One good thing I can see coming out of that will be an abundance of audiobooks of copyright expired books.
I think it was funny. Not much meat to it but entertaining. If every article was written like this, it would be tiresome, but a few per issue I don't mind.
Personally I wouldn't use async but instead use a pool of worker threads passing messages to an orchestrator thread using channels: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/std_misc/channels....

The orchestrator can then keep track of what's going on and avoid duplicating tasks and the workers don't need to worry about any global state.
What should it learn? If you combine async with Rust’s nested lifetimes, you get quite a bit of complexity from the borrowchecker, period. There is not much else to it.
And your landlord will pass that cost on to you.
Would requiring an individual file taxes or disclose nutrition facts on food products they are selling violate their rights?

If not, then no...
If AMD cards were half the price of Nvidia ones then sure, this would happen. The 4090 can be had for ~$1600USD and the RX 7900 for about ~$1000USD. A significant discount, however the RX 7900 is about 3/4ths as powerful as the 4090, which puts it more in the class as a 4080, which costs about as much.

As a small budget research/grad student, if the price difference isn't that big, why waste the time porting torch to it?
* fatigue is something everyone feels sometimes and the answer is to push through it for most people

* it’s impossible to observe fatigue objectively, it just appears people are lazy or low energy

* there’s no known (or at least there wasn’t last time I researched it) bio markers for CFS

* there’s no known evidence of viruses causes CFS, just speculation

Etc

Things have changed a lot over the last 30 years. I think most people including doctors accept CFS is real whereas that wasn’t the case in the past.

The case for the cause of CFS is still very much open, and I think it’s probably naive to say CFS is caused by viral infections. It’s probably the case that some CFS is caused by viral infections, but again, it’s hard to differentiate, it’s hard to prove, and even if you did, so what? CFS probably also has autoimmune causes, which themselves are diffuse in their root causes and mechanisms, and even psychosomatic roots in burnout and other extreme stress syndrome. Finally, when the causes are psychosomatic, that isn’t code for “fake,” it is literally a real issue it’s just not caused by an extrinsic agent. The health impact of extreme prolonged stress is not a joke, and it’s not the persons “fault.” There seems to be a real need for people to pin their CFS and other health issues on some external factor and not the abuse they’ve (or others have) subjected their psychology and by proxy their body to.
