"America" is so hideously crippled by the heavy duty ethnic cleansing and regimes of social control baked into land use laws and transportation/mobility networks that 'advanced' problems are not even eligible to be solved.

Sorta a 'do not pass go, do not collect $200, until {x} is solved' situation.

If a city still has parking minimums on the books, I evaluate all involved parties as utterly unserious, pseudo-scientific religious zealots.

Do you think the American south, in the era of chattel slavery, could solve 'advanced manufacturing problems'? NO! of course not! So why does anyone think 'america' could solve an advanced problem?

Meh. I shouldn't be surprised by the article, though. The authors probably think the USA isn't a backwater country that is 'on top' only via a willingness to use economic and actual violence to achieve all aims.
Yeah, and a few weeks after that, many Gamepass games (including Starfield) started popping up on Geforce Now. It's wonderful.
Not until we get reflection. And reflection efforts seem to be at an impasse, so I don’t imagine we will see it for a few years at least.

I will add, though, that I’ve found copilot to be very handy when it comes to generating formatting. Last week I used it while writing fmt::formatter specialisations for a library with 50 structs, some having over 20 members. Writing all of them took about 10 minutes. I dare say the same would hold for operator<< overloads.
UnifontEX final build now released after 6 years
Up until a few days ago, I was also vacillating between learning OCaml or Haskell, before deciding on Haskell for reasons.

I surveyed many free and paid-for references to build my foundation, before picking John Whitington's "Haskell From the Very Beginning" (https://www.haskellfromtheverybeginning.com), because it "takes a no-prerequisites approach to teaching the basics of a modern general-purpose programming language".

I am also using Replit's "free-tier" as my Haskell learning environment. Replit let me jump right into the fun of Haskell, while postponing dealing with installation/configuration nuances until absolutely necessary. This is also letting me do learning any time I have a free moment from wherever I last left off on any computing device I have handy, including my tablets or smartphone.

So far, my learning experience has been a joy.

If you decide on OCaml, Whitington also wrote "OCaml From the Very Beginning" (http://ocaml-book.com), which available via free pdf or HTML thanks to the OCaml Software Foundation, and looks to be structured similar to his Haskell book.

Hope this helps.
Can it run Gauntlet Legends 100% in MAME?
It does not have enough greater or less signs in the function signature :)
Yes, I don't like meta-commentary (i.e., talking about other comments on HN without actually directly responding to them), but I have been angered to see so many "might is right", "we only destroyed them because they were so weak" comments in response to people noting any potential for responsibility beyond local mismanagement.
Alternately, those that chose to not keep their job because they did not return.
Is Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand English closer to UK or America? I assume Canada is closer to the US while those down south are closer to the UK.
I have other signals that creep up when my background anxiety levels are high. By anxiety I mean nervous system agitation, not usually conscious.

I wash my hands more, engage in displacement activities, avoid unfamiliar situations or those that trigger perceived emotional stress or threat.

I become snippy and agitated, again, without being conscious of it.

My HRV matches my partners perception of my anxiety levels, which is a reliable measure imho. When it becomes unbalanced and I reflect, I can see that the other signs have ramped up.

If I'm not aware, or told, my HRV tells me and saves anyone pulling me up.
It’s closer to $80k, if you went via a VAR.

I spec’d a current gen server with:

- 2x more cores

- 50% more RAM

- 50% more storage

For only ~$80k, and that’s not even with a discount and is a more powerful current gen server with more cores/ram/storage.

It’s $41k if I matched the specs exact (but that’s a bit unfair to do because the Dell server is 2-3 years old).

Exception handling and generics are missing key pieces from go. But adding them will make go look like java.

I just wish java would add null safety in the type system in a first citizen way.

For enterprise use java has no competitors. You have c# which is microsoft trying to estabilish nash equilibrium fu*ing the developers. I am a bit worried about ever increasing complexity and a steep learning curve, but seems like this is a problem on all fronts.
The contents of any evidence brought forward as part of the case by either side as public information that is part of the record of the court case.

This includes information that is submitted voluntarily or extracted via a discovery request. (Not everything you find is public only what you submit as evidence)

Note you can avoid things becoming public but you need a decent reason to "I don't want to share that" isn't enough. It looks like this document was partially redacted for instance.

To your original question courts make the proceedings "public" although there is a process for getting a copy. Not so much a "can you get this" more of a "we don't upload to a server and let web crawlers index everything".

I think you actually have to pay for the Ultimate tier. Their branding is SUPER confusing.

If you play on PC, PC Game Pass gets you access to hundreds of games but no streaming.

If you play on Xbox, Game Pass Core gets you multiplayer and a few free games but no streaming.

If you want streaming or play on both PC and Xbox, the Ultimate membership gets you everything.

If you want just the PC games and streaming, you can sign up for PC Game Pass and separately for Nvidia Geforce Now, which streams a subset of Game Pass games but at much higher quality and performance.
I agree. I just set it up the other day in a container. It’s going to be our ACME provider. It is stupid easy
FYI I'll mention it here. Haskell is the single worst introduction to functional programming anyone can try. It's absolutely terrible resources for learning it (Learn You a Haskell is a disaster of a "book"), and the language's documentation and on ramp are really poor.

If you want a statically typed functional language learn F#. And can easily leverage the .net ecosystem for easy productiity. Or if you want something that introduces the concepts that you can learn in a weekend learn Elm. It's front end only, it's very opinionated, but it's tiny and a great langauge to learn to think in FP.

If you want a non statically typed functional language learn Clojure. Not ideal on ramp, if has the java ecosystem, and great concepts. If you really don't want to do that learn a Scheme or Common Lisp although ecosystem isn't as large.

Once you've learned one (or two) of those, then start exploring things like Haskell. But before then it's a terrible waste of time, and almost guaranteed you'll be turned off from learning it before you feel productive in it or that you got your money's worth from your effort.
Probably not. HN began using rel="nofollow noreferrer" in links.
Cyrillic can not be expressed in ASCII/ISO-8859 so comparing the size doesn't make sense.
Concur. I think this is likely to be controversial, and become an increasingly popular news topic and political wedge. (Maybe in the next few decades?) It seems that we can eliminate some genetic diseases through a combination of screening and embryo selection.
Banks are far more stringent... For the rank and file, because even low level employees in banks can access private information that allow them to insider trade.

For the CEOs, they were already under intense scrutiny for every single trade, so it makes more different.

I’m not sure if this accounts for the datasets you are referencing, but one reason for layoffs to cluster at the beginning of the month, in the US at least, is health insurance…

Typically if you are laid off, your health insurance coverage will run at least through the end of the current month as of your last day before COBRA would kick in. This isn’t a hard and fast rule necessarily, and some layoffs extend healthcare coverage longer anyways, but I know for a fact multiple layoffs I’ve been involved in over the years have timed for the first of the month for this reason.

Hot Chips related, I found this the keynote from Google on the state of the art (that they're willing to talk about) on ML hardware fascinating: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFe7-WZMMhc

I had no idea about so many of the topics discussed like power management and detecting and mitigating calculation errors.
I'm hacking on a library (https://github.com/gsuuon/ad-llama) inspired by guidance, but in TS and for the browser. I think structured inference and controlled sampling are really good ways of getting consistent responses out of LLM's. It lets smaller models really punch above their weight.

I wonder what other folks are building on this sort of workflow? I've been playing around with it and trying to figure out interesting applications that weren't possible before.
There’s a difference between you knowingly waiving a requirement that is to your benefit (receiving the necessary disclosure document before closing) to further a goal to your benefit and you making a statement on a form to the detriment of someone else.

In your analogy it would be as if the seller ticket the box saying that they’ve disclosed all deficiencies to you despite not having done so, to not jeopardize your willingness to close.
I know it's not recommended but I use it for main().

And extensive formatting and/or output should be minimised outside main(), imho.
Counterpoint, Russia has a lot more raw power than Ukraine. They need the alliances on paper to prevent this from happening again, and they need them today to survive this war.

I leave it unchanged. The result is stylistic variation across sections of the codebase based on the nationality of the writer, but that’s fine—my focus is on fixing unclear or outright incorrect writing, not necessarily forcing every tense or mood to be consistent with my own regional dialect.
Right, exactly, but I'm saying it's too bad those things aren't part of the living WHATWG standards/guidelines, and built into HTML or some new higher-level component markup language that browsers can adopt. A "Javascript UI components framework" similar to the UI kits that native Android and iOS have.

It's silly to have to reinvent all those basics for every site/company/platform, and it's unfortunate that HTML hasn't really caught up to the app world, still thinking of itself mostly for documents.

Most weight loss treatments have terrible side-effects. GLP-1 is working pretty well as a target now, but all the other ideas didn't turn out so simple after all, and there were a lot of ideas for weight loss drugs
Nobody knows because the people claiming that patents are slowing down innovation never seem to actually work in that specific industry or have actual detailed knowledge. Almost makes one think they don't actually have real information and are just casuals.

> Documentation suggests a 1 GHz clock, but Phoenix’s XDNA might be running at 1.25 GHz as AMD says BF16 is supported with 5 TFLOPS of throughput.

It's amazing seeing the ML FPGA come out on a CPU. There's such an incredible opportunity for AMD here, if they can get the world adopting & using this kind of hardware that most folks in dev are not used to using. Great seeing some internal details here.

I haven't heard a peep thought about devs actually having access to this hardware. One of the big criticisms at launch time was that there was essentially no material for using this sizable part of the chip.

It's not just important for Phoenix & latter chips, it's potential bridge for AMD to make their FPGA in general used & adopted. But like the GPUs, it's questionable whether AMD can get broadscale enough adoption for advantage to mean anything for them. Ideally AMD would be working with yosys or openxla or someone to have an easy to adopt synthesis pipeline folks could play with. Right now I still haven't heard that they have anything, even proprietary or self-made.

Edit: oh well, AMD just dropped something!

In my experience, if your executives are communicating in corporate PR speak internally, it means you’re surrounded by grifters and people who have failed upward.

Speaking directly and clearly is a core skill of successful executives. Corporate PR speak only interferes with conveying direct and clear internal messages. You aren’t worried about accidentally offending the people you work with, you’re more worried about not getting your point across as directly as possible.
The economy of Wall Streeters is divorced from many natural economies these days. Perhaps they have already rendered their desires irrelevant and countervailing to mine and those of others.
If you’ve ever had to be a parent and judge between two siblings, you’d recognize how silly your comment is. All judgements are borne of three choices: to do what is right, to teach a lesson, or some combination of the two. Any judge can say “fuck you, you deserve it” and only a higher judge can overturn it (when there isn’t a jury). Any jury can, interestingly, do the exact same thing. Human rules made for humans can have all kinds of results when judged by humans.
Knowledge is power.

If so, you’ve never thought about it very deeply.

I have had a MariaDB + Galera multi-master 3-node cluster running for several years, and prior to that Percona+Galera for ~5 years, and it's been just great. It stores lookup tables for our postfix mail server, fairly small databases and low hits, but it's great to just be able to reboot nodes for updates or migration to other VMs without having to do any of the old clustering gyrations.

I almost switched to CockroachDB in the last refresh, until I found that Postfix required Latin-1 encoding or something, and CockroachDB only supported UTF8. Postfix has more recently gotten a config option for changing that.

Not a scientist but I learned those two concept from following the question of 'what the hell is a causality?' and reading related articles. My tentative conclusion is that we still haven't figure it out what causality is, and the main question mark is the emergence and downward causation. Granger causality is just a cool technique to infer causality from correlation, directly contradicting the mantra 'correlation is not causation'. They are just saying they also developed a cool technique to infer causality from data.
Both. They get high returns and there is high social benefit.

Because the US thinks of industry as ‘dirty’ we’ve lost touch with how valuable these jobs can be. In the US the returns would have longer duration and would not be viewed as ‘important’ bc the business isn’t suitable for a FANG exit.

"this is all assuming, of course, that your goal is, at least in part, to be able to honestly call yourself a "game developer" in general"

This is some Wagnerian level of gatekeeping snobbery right here. A game developer.... develops games by definition. They don't develop engines, they don't develop rigid body collision systems, they don't develop 3D renderers, they develop (aka make) games. If you find a suitable tool to facilitate the creation of your vision, you'd be a fool not to avail yourself of it.

We mean different things when we say "good writer", and you get at it by using "novelist" vs "writer".

When professors or employers complain that their students or employees can't write well, and lament the quality of public education that caused the ineptitude, they are talking about writing as a means of communication. They aren't talking about any of the mentioned parties' inability to produce good novels.

A novel is good if you enjoyed reading it, even better if it has re-read value. A good novelist produces good novels. Whether or not you enjoyed reading the novel actually has nothing to do with whether your understanding of the plot is the same as the author's. In order to confirm that the novelist was effective at using writing to communicate information, that information would have to be known as ground truth on both sides of the channel. As an imperfect example: if you had a chat with the novelist, and it was revealed you had a different understanding of the plot, then they couldn't be that clear of a writer, even if you enjoyed the novel.
