The suggested approach simply doesn’t work, because human calendars simply don’t work that way.

If the state of Indiana decides this year to change when they set their clocks forward and back, and you stored your appointment datetime as a timestamp, when do you show up for an appointment? At the new 930 AM after statutory date adjustment, or the now incorrect time stamp in your database? Will the DMV respect your claim that you had an appointment at epoch timestamp 1726651800, or will they say sorry buddy the clock on the wall says 9:30 AM, you missed your window? Are your taxes next year due at 1713173400, or are they due at midnight April 15th?

This is NOT a UI issue. This is an issue where the timestamp you calculated in the past literally does not mean the same calendar date in the future as it does now.

And if your answer is to recalculate the timestamp based on locale changes, what was the point of storing the timestamp? (I hope you stored an audit trail of the locale as well as the timestamp, otherwise you can't even recompute the timestamp). The timestamp is never the ground truth, the human readable string is the ground truth.

The timestamp for a particular human date time is not generally a computable function, because human governments change how dates are reckoned frequently, and the human government, not your database are the ground truth.

The counterpoint to this is, of course, the civil rights movement, which forced the nation to see segregation and mobilized national support for immediate action.
Honestly, good answer.
While this isn't optimization, is there any LLM systems that create "provably correct" transformations yet?

I have used ChatGPT on some fairly awful code, asking it to add comments, rename variables and functions, etc. I find the outputs useful, but a couple of times it's broken the code. I imagine for many (not all) languages, you could ask the LLM to produce suggested changes, then use a code-rewriting tool to apply them in a way you could be 100% sure they weren't going to change the behaviour of the progrma.

Sounds like the courses you are berating don't even rise to the level of "button pushers" that we mocked when they ran their Microsoft GUI's to do admin chores (and while we were converting thousands of files in one command, and do daily .. except that we are now converting (growl) webp files that can't be edited (not by GIMP anyway) )

Even so-called "computer savvy" young people just know which buttons to push, and nothing about doing something powerful that's not canned in some app.

I still would like to see people given the ability to CREATE (like they did with hypercard) and not just adapt to "change for the sake of change" features du jour.

Keeping it short for now.

The fact that Twitter hasn't gone completely offline in a fireball as predicted over and over by these same people itself proves they were redundant.

What made it the "national" museum? Just their decision to call it that? As Wikipedia lists fourteen US motorcycle museums.

A few years ago, I had no power for 8 months, so I was coding on paper first. One day, after finishing a program, to my surprise, I noticed that I was sweating and was being bitten by mosquitos. The days before that I could barely sleep or concentrate due to the heat.

So now when I hear lawnmovers, etc., I make a conscious effort to keep myself focused. I mean, now I know that it is possible to ignore the outside world, so if I look to the side because of a noise, I try to recenter my eyes and tell myself: "here"

Yet the site is so much better than it used to be for the average user. The algorithm doesn’t feel hostile to rational thought anymore.

> As a fun exercises, try to find how many definitions of “child” there are in the US law and how many times it’s used undefined.

I don't see how a language is going to solve this. This isn't really an issue of language, it's an issue with ambiguity in the very intent itself. That's why we have judges, who interpret that intent.
You're supposed to write things like `\chapter{the title}` (so focusing on the content) instead of dealing with: font family/size/weight/variant/shape, text color/flushing/decoration, you know all those formatting you're always playing with with text editors for example.

It isn't. See leap seconds.

That's interesting, and would be doable for small scripts that I could fully understand. But I would be hesitant to use it for larger jobs, where it might end up misunderstanding me, and I wouldn't necessarily realize there was a mistake. Applescript is very powerful, and I wouldn't want to risk it deleting/moving/editing files. Perhaps in the future, when people have used it for this purpose for years (without incident), I would trust it more.
I thought about this a lot during the peak of the pandemic. How much would you need to grow to not need to go to the grocery stores. But then I noticed, even for myself, if I eat 1 potato every meal, that’s over 1K potatoes a year. That’s a shit ton of potatoes. Include veggies, fruits, grain for chicken to make eggs, it’s really really tough to survive on your own garden. Makes me really appreciate our current food system.
Having known a number of people taking that route, I don't believe it guarantees success any more than following a less defined path. If ones definition of success is limited to money, then maybe.

I don't believe one can be successful and miserable. Accepting misery is accepting failure. You can have money and be miserable. It is actually quite common.
That is only possible because of effective monopoly. How is that not getting sued to bones I don't know.
The title "data scientist" was massively overloaded over the past decade, so while it might mean "statistician" on one team, it might mean business analyst, visualization designer, data engineer, or a number of other things that are outside the core skillset of a statistician on another team.
Your comment sent me on a multi day journey into DAPs.

Indeed, it's heartbreaking how otherwise capable hardware is ruined by bad design decisions (UI, form factor, touchscreens, ...)

I found a workable solution after many hours:

1. Bought a Hifi Walker H2 on Amazon. It suffers from poor UI design, including typos. Otherwise, the hardware is great.

2. Installed RockBox on it. After a little customization, it resolves the crappy UI. The one pain point is RockBox will not support Bluetooth or USB DAC, if you care about these features.
That section seemed light on details of what was missing though.

This seems like it will have the opposite effect: unmask folks trying to use a proxy/VPN by having them go through a Chrome proxy first. It'll also keep IP data only available to Google for tracking purposes.

You're missing the most obvious reason. Wayland adoption has been slow because nobody cares that much about the Linux desktop because it's not profitable, so it's at best a hobby project of a couple of dozen people. It's hard to make sweeping changes with such a group.
A lot of the work has actually been done by companies like Red Hat and Collabora and Igalia doing drive-by enablement work on a bunch of open source projects.

That manifests in a bunch of different ways. Lots of desktop software is still using the likes of Gtk 2 and obviously won't get Wayland support without being ported first. Desktop Environments like XFCE and Cinnamon are, again, basically hobby projects and re-architecting them for Wayland is a big ask for non-professional maintainers. And then you have stuff like Zoom and other Electron apps that take their time adopting Wayland simply because Linux was always an afterthought to them anyway.
Nicotine by itself is about as addictive as caffeine. Tobacco is very addictive due to the MAOI substances it contains.
Hi, a Petals dev here. You're right, there's no point in using Petals if your machine has enough GPU memory to fit the model and you're okay with the quantization quality.

We developed Petals for people who have less GPU memory than needed. Also, there's still a chance of larger open models being released in the future.
A backend compiler is probably not in a good place to do that. Frontends could, however, and there are lots of tools already to make those suggestions for many languages.

clippy in rust, for example, will tell you about removing needless allocations, etc, which a backend compiler might have a harder time doing.

Frankly, although I didn't want to bring it up previously lest it be too embarrassing, perhaps logging off and seeking some help would be the better choice, if you are genuinely forgetting how to check past HN comments.

EDIT: After thinking it over, I'm going to disengage here since I rather not risk the chance of inadvertently nudging someone further into a negative spiral.
Interesting idea, and it seems to work well for converting simple common units.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses. I'd like it to be able to recognize and perform more involved calculations like converting L/100km to MPG fuel economy; which I tried and it was unable to do.
Good to note that report publication generally lags behind a year. It's not Apple suddenly not being as transparent for all you tin-foiled caps out there.

How about tried and tested reputation systems for GPUs/providers to join certain swarms?

Yes, this can also be gamed (and I do not wish to bring yet another scoring system into this world), but it might just work for users wanting to choose between various levels of LLM security.

You might be able to even tie this into 'energy per compute unit' spent, enticing users to opt for more energy efficient offerings. Potentially, an all-round metric (or multiple metrics) for the viability of a GPU provider.
There was that Project Veritas expose that revealed a Senior Engineer at Twitter did 4 hours of work per week and he said everyone else did the same thing.

It makes perfect sense because when Jack was part time CEO of Twitter he was known to spend less than a full work day at the company per week. Productivity tends to trickle down, it's contagious.

Much like a super high performer on a team tends to lift 1x engineers on the team to 1.5x - 2x engineers, I've observed.

Parag Agrawal as a CTO shipped essentially zero features. In fact, Twitter got noticeably worse over the years. Periscope and Vine were genuine innovations, both cast to the side.
I'm not sure how widely supported it is, but Wayland has a protocol to support turning off v-sync.

I think this question boils down to individualism vs collectivism. If you think it is ok to override individual rights in order to "benefit the many" then you will be in favor of your proposal. If you view individual rights as _unalienable_ then you won’t value collective benefits over the individual rights to privacy & self-determination.

I don’t see how your particular viewpoint is any less "binary" than the other one. Collectivism or individualism is the binary option, where you land on the collectivist side of the coin.

It's mind boggling to me that people still resort to ad-hominem attacks when discussing viewpoints here on HN, when it's clearly against the rules. How do we even approach it?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a job listing for a “statistician” outside government roles.

Mostly technical. But, I'll try to be a bit charitable.

1) A lot of architectural decisions that made sense in 2008 are less optimal today.

Everything language-wise was C/C++ while today lots of different languages want to interface to your display system. The input system was completely hamstrung--things like gestures and multi-touch and things like that just weren't in anybody's brain yet. (Wayland started just after the first iPhone was introduced). And RT_PREEMPT still isn't a thing for Linux while both Windows and macOS underwent major surgery to allow real-time paths for things like audio and interaction.

2) Desktop composition semantics are not exactly easy to define.

Windows has certain definitions, but even it falls back to pure CPU software rendering in a lot of cases.

3) Weak support from graphics card companies

Windows relies on a LOT of driver hacks so everything goes through the compositor on really fast paths. That's a lot of work that nobody really has the bandwidth to do on Linux.

She might ask her doctor about ramping up the Advil(ibuprofen) - dosage is not limited to one 400 mg pill per 4-hour period.

An adult can usually tolerate up to 3200 mg of Advil per day. Large dosages can be prescribed (easier to take as a single pill). Again, she should ask her doctor.

I had a cracked bone once - 800 mg Advil for 8 weeks erased the pain while the bone healed. Bone healed OK (advil didn't affect healing negatively).

There are other NSAIDS. Aleve(Naproxen sodium) is one of my favorites. Read up on the differences and side effects, b/c YMMV.

Presumably using the more standard resolution would let you use smaller textures and get a higher frame rate.

I hope someone makes something really cool with this some day. It’s always amazing to see what people are capable of pushing old hardware to do given the additional the knowledge we’ve gained and without the constraints of commercial timelines.
Presumably it uses a blinded token system rather than sending your google id. The token system ensures that each user can't go over their quota, because google will only sign a certain amount of tokens per user, but the proxy server doesn't know the identity of the user because all they get is a blinded token.

- the situation: you build cloud infrastructure via CLI or console

- the problem: if something gets deleted, or if you make a bunch of changes and want to undo them, or if you need to make a change to a lot of stuff at once, or if you want to copy what you've built to a new region, how do you do it? or, if you're on a team, how do you as a team make and track changes to your cloud infrastructure?

- terraform as a solution: you describe your cloud infrastructure as yaml files. terraform can figure out what is different between what's in your cloud infrastructure and what your yaml files say it should look like. and, it can make changes to your cloud to e.g. build it from scratch, make wide-ranging changes, make a copy of it, etc.

- since your yaml files are code, you can also create a repo and do PRs to make and track changes to your cloud infrastructure as it evolves over time
By that logic we should ban anything remotely pleasurable.
This isn't unique. Allies intelligence service(and some government officials) have known about the holocaust since it first started with the occupation in Russia.

After that , there was even a guy who escaped auswitch to tell about it.

There was even a plan offered to the US government to let Jews refugees live in Alaska of all places, so they could be protected.

Very little came of all that knowledge and plans. People and government officials were antisemitic back than , and they had other, more important priorities.

So the pope was far from unique in doing nothing.

The technology is interesting, but I've never bothered to install it. It seems like this ecosystem is missing compelling reasons to use it, sort of like a device or app store that's missing interesting apps.

The demo they put on the front page doesn't really sell it. I already have Python installed. It's need that they got it running, but how is this better?

What would sell it? Suppose there were a well-regarded hosting site that required uploads to be WebAssembly. Or maybe some popular app that required plugins to be written in WebAssembly.
