For nearly all of human history everyone thought that those frog vs. human eyes were completely separate and designed by some magical being living up in the cloud.

By noticing that while they have significant differences, those structures also have significant similarities, we were able to correctly answer one of the greatest questions of all time: where did humans come from?

Of all models, this one is particularly useful.
Even ten years ago -- and it's only gotten better since then -- you could use java to managed hundreds of gigabytes of memory with thousands of threads, and it would sit there and just do it with uptimes of half a year or more, while taking an absolute beating.

It's really well-built tech, with a very nice distribution story: no docker mess, no scribbling all over the OS, etc. Once you install the jvm, you can just ship one file -- jars are just renamed zip files, so you can add all dependencies to just one file.

I used it for servers. I wish writing it were as nice as ruby or python, but java is really well built. If you haven't tried it, you should give it a whirl.

There is no real trade off between medical privacy and research. That's a total red herring. Researchers can already ask patients for consent to use their data. Many patients will agree, especially if researchers explain the potential benefits and take responsible steps to safeguard the data.

HIPAA regulations also allow researchers to use de-identified data.

Looking at the code, the system prompt says "You MUST NOT use functions that are not available." but apart from the OS info, it's not giving GPT any info on what commands are/aren't available, so I'd imagine it's a bit of a crapshoot.

Absolutely agree with the importance of removing information from data brokers (aka People Search Sites), since they are be a goldmine for bad actors.

Actually, Optery is a YC 2022 company and there are some good discussions on Optery and its competitors here on HN, ex: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30605010

Part of becoming an adult is learning that all laws, including hardline federal laws, are entirely subject to the discretion of the human enforcers, who are subject to their own game theory of survival.

Absolutely no law is enforced 100% of the time on everyone equally. There's always a political/social calculation being made and balanced. It's childlike naivety to believe that perfect enforcement ever could (or should) be the case. Akin to believing Santa knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake.
I'm also now imagining someone actually using this guide, walking into the sort of city centre gastropub popular with tourists, striding confidently past all the serving tables up to the bar, identifying a group of very drunk lads from out of town as "regulars" and trying to join in their banter, and then attempting to offer an even more confused Polish barman a drink...
No, it isn't relevant.

Just because you've been exposed to that term does'nt mean it's as widespread as you seem to think it is.

You remind me of people I would meet in one state, who would use certain slang or have certain customs particular to that state and insisted it was a USA wide custom, despite having never left their state.

Really?? I've lived and worked in Massachusetts and Washington, both states with very strong support for non-competes, prior to living in California, and, as a skilled worker (bachelors and masters degrees in computer science, mba, many years experience in tech) I've not had trouble working in many companies that don't compete with each other. And even in companies that do, as long as I wasn't working in directly competitive parts. And I've had collectively hundreds of thousands of colleagues who've also created careers across companies.
I tend to agree. I feel like in today's world (where society may well collapse very soon because of what we did with technology - I'm thinking about climate and biodiversity), we engineers should think much more about what we do and the consequences it may have on the world.

Compiling with GraalVM is still a pain and will not work out-of-the-box without modifications for any non-trivial project.
This is mostly, I believe, not GraalVM's fault, because it can only do so much within the confines of the existing ecosystem.

If only AoT compilation to native code would have been taken seriously from the start, if only gcj would have gotten more attention, we could have ended up with an ecosystem that is somewhat amenable to what GraalVM tries to do.

As much as I like GraalVM and wish it success, my prediction is that in a few years it will be in the same state gcj has been quite some years now.

My name is Fred. Oddly, despite being a not uncommon name in the English speaking world, English speakers never get it. They hear and call me Brett, Brad, Frank, Greg... anything but Fred. And it's not because I have a strong uncommon accent or anything, my accent is just a generic North American accent, most people think I'm Canadian.

Like you I've also kind of given up and usually just roll with it.

I do see where you're coming from re not getting offended but not sure I agree completely with that - I do think there's room for improvement or at least making an effort with unfamiliar names. (but demanding perfection is likewise rude)
> I'm sorry, but you are dead wrong.

I'm not, but I appreciate your confidence in asserting so.

Finding evidence of that term being used has no bearing on how widespread that term was. Just because you've encountered it doesn't mean it is as widespread as you seem to assume.

You remind me of people I would meet in one state, who would use certain slang or have certain customs particular to that state and insisted it was a USA wide custom, despite having never left their state.

Hey @juliennakache UX designer at Graphite here,

If the two peers are each behind its own stateful firewall (as would be common with something like BitTorrent), then you still need some 3rd party server accessible to both of them that either relays traffic between them, or at least allows them to negotiate the port pair that they'll communicate on (so that the one which will accept the TCP connection can send a TCP SYN with the other's source port as destination).

The second option may not even work with more paranoid firewalls, which might not allow TCP SYN packets on existing connections.

Tip jars are totally fine, though. They present no pressure, you can tip (or not) when the server isn't looking, and nobody is closely policing the tip jar when you place an order.

My favorite coffee stand has a great compromise. They have a tip jar, but they also don't use those preset tip buttons on their POS. Instead, they have a sign by the tip jar telling you that if you want to leave a tip on the card, just tell them how much and they'll add it on. I always do.
But does the situation improve with a longer code of conduct though? I doubt it. What matters when the community gets larger is efforts of moderation.

I'm curious about this too. If you were engaged in millions of arithmetic operations then I can see how inaccuracies might accumulate in theory, but in practice floating point operations are intentionally designed to minimize that.

And for everyday individual transactions it's hard to see a problem. Maybe the problem is more when you're summing up every single financial transaction for the year? But even in that case, if the smallest financial resolution is a cent, all the floating point noise seems like it would be occurring many decimal points beyond. Even if you're dealing with billions of dollars.

To be clear, I wouldn't do it myself -- I'm too risk-averse, too afraid of unknown unknowns. But it is hard to see what actual real-life negative consequences there would be for 99.9% of businesses, unless I'm missing something? Like the parent commenter, I'm looking for where I'm wrong here.

If you just add up the errors, sure. What is riskier is that you risk tipping values the wrong direction right before applying a rounding step, or end up with an error right before multiplying a now wrong per-unit value with some large-ish factor.

Often these things are not a big problem on their own, but then later gets compounded because someone does something stupid like passing these imprecise values around to be distorted further all over the place.

And sometimes the reason it doesn't become a legal problem turns out to be because your finance department quietly works their way around it by expending expensive manpower accounting for discrepancies that shouldn't be there in the first place, and so increases the cost to the business by many magnitudes over the loss the developers might have assumed to be the worst case (if they're aware of the discrepancy at all).

This is one of those things you can get away with many times, many places, with no ill effects. But when it finally bites you it can get expensive and/or really bad to deal with, and it's fixed by simply never doing money calculations on datatypes with imprecise arithmetic, and having a five minute conversation with your finance team about what your local rules for rounding tax amounts are.
> The most important clues to the mediocrity of his buildings are the facts that a) they aren't widely imitated and b) they don't usually appear in fine books about architecture, trad or otherwise.

Lol @ this standard for what is good. I also trained and practiced as an architect, so take my opinion with the same weight as yours. A home with good craftsmanship beats most of the homes in the 'fine books about architecture'. Yes, he wasn't a great designer, but his contribution was more about looking at the living language that develops in the tradition of building, rather than looking at the insulated self congratulatory world of academic dick measuring contests which is what the Fine Art side of architecture is today.

Hopefully my rate of error is way below 25%, so 25% error might not help me that much.

I'd like to think my rate of error is less than 5% too, but that might be close enough that outsourcing the work is still worth it.

Maybe still not worth it if I were that hypothetical programmer that writes lots of code but never writes any bugs.
> The Schlieffen plan developed by it's namesake general

The Schlieefen plan didn't exist.

> The Schlieffen memorandum of 1905, with its 1906 supplement, was not a plan. It was not operational. It did not go into details or issue orders

David Frmokin's Europe's Last Summer

Terence Zuber's Inventing the Schlieefen Plan shows that the "plan" was written in a memorandum at his retirement, which his daughter kept in her family photos (even in August 1914). The memorandum also involved 20 divisions which never existed - 48 corps should have attacked France instead of the actual 34...

The actual plan as described was a one front war against France... From Schlieefen's other writings were Germany at war with France and Russia, he suggested using interior rail lines to lure enemy forces inside, and then counteract by taking their supply lines (the move through Belgium and Northern France), quickly winning the war, which bears only the most superficial resemblance to the war as started.

Mark Humphries and John Maker have gone into more detail on where the actual war plan (as followed) came from, von Moltke's beliefs etc. Even e.g. Gross who has strongly debated Zuber about this agrees that there was no official plan as such, instead arguing that Schlieffen's influence, staff rides etc. planted the seeds of seeing potential victory through such an approach.

I think it's reasonable to pin the failure on the system if you call it FSD.
It is inevitable that basically everyone in the next generation will have deepfake porn made of them by some asshat classmate. It is about as hard to stop as someone creating an nude painting of someone from imagination. It is not a nice thing to do, and really mean if shared in public, but the types of measures it would take to stop it are incompatible with a free society.

There are potentially a couple of positive social outcomes that may emerge from this trend though.

1. everyone who sees a deepfake of themselves will be forever viscerally skeptical of any claim relying only on photos and videos socially shared online.

2. everyone who sees actual nude photos or videos of people they know will be skeptical they are real, thus taking away the power of revenge porn or ransom porn.

Immersed – VR Desktop Extension as a Peripheral
Were machine guns really the cause of 'defensive' warfare?

Rolling artillery barrages would send the front-line machinegunners hiding in the trenches. The wave of attackers behind the artillery barrage, when moving quickly had a very good chance of capturing the front line of trenches.

The problem that they would face is that rail-deployed reinforcements on the defender side would pour in as a counter-attack... And those recently-captured front-line trenches were, by design, indefensible from an attack from the rear.

So you'd get lots of bloody attacks, with horrific loss of life, where all the territorial gains made in them would be lost in an equally bloody counter-attack. As a net result, the front is frozen, despite both sides taking turns attacking (And making brief territorial gains, that are immediately reversed).

Artillery and railroads, not machineguns seem to be the major influences, there.

Ah, makes sense. I realized Tailscale was a virtual network but forgot that a VPN doesn't include that functionality.
Yes. The preemptive style (where scheduling points are determined dynamically) is more composable than the cooperative style (where scheduling points are determined statically). In the cooperative style, the correctness of any subroutine is implicitly dependent on there not being scheduling points where they're not explicit; adding a scheduling point to any subroutine, therefore, requires reconsidering the assumptions in all of its transitive callers. In the preemptive style, on the other hand, any subroutine can independently express its mutual-exclusion assumptions using various synchronisation constructs, such as locks (those independent decisions could result in deadlocks, but the cooperative style is also subject to deadlocks).

So if you start from scratch, the preemptive style is preferable, but for us the decision was even easier, because we weren't starting from scratch. Java already had threads, and so mutual exclusion was already explicit rather than implicit.

When is cooperative scheduling more appropriate? In a language like JavaScript that already had a lot of existing code with implicit mutual exclusion assumptions (because JS didn't have threads). To add concurrency to such a language with a large existing ecosystem, cooperative scheduling is a better choice.

In 2007 I uploaded a rather obscure TV show to Demonoid, ripped from DVDs that were quite difficult to obtain and that I have long since lost.

A few months ago I downloaded it from TPB; somewhat to my surprise it was the same torrent I had uploaded 16 years ago.

I thought that was kinda neat. It's probably also the only way to watch this TV show, legal or otherwise. "Distributed cloud backup" I suppose :-)

(I do regret the childish and embarrassing comments in the README, which are also still alive after 16 years :-/ That's also why I'm not mentioning which TV show this is.)
