There was an audible digital clock noise (of the phone) "ground loop" when charging an iPhone 6S on the same ground potential as wireless headphones Bose QC 35 (v1) while also charging the headphones AND connected via the analog headphone jack to the phone. (The noise was very loud in the headphones while operating in a passive analog input (powered off) while charging.)

Moving either charger to a different ground potential removed the issue. There was probably a missing backfeed filter diode on a ground track or decoupling capacitor somewhere in the headphones' charging circuit.
Idk, I saw a lot of takes from people I know from IRL in 2020/21 where the moment 100% containment seemed like it wasn't an option people said "why try anything at all? what happens, happens, if your grandma dies she dies." even though vaccines looked promising but weren't generally available yet... even with these promising percentile "solutions" very close, if the solution isn't 100% effective people seem to give up.

I think if you've ever been around depressed or emotionally overwhelmed people or just people generally you see this kind of all or nothing thinking is not just common but prevalent.

I've always been against paternalism historically but the last few years have provided a fair amount of evidence that it might be a valid tactic.

I used to be ideologically against cohersive power as well but persuasion often doesn't come from well reasoned argument, it can come from brute repetition, or for addicts of different stripes (drugs, ragebait, social media, personality) persuasion seems like a dead end.
It is better for all of the Android enthusiasts.
So why did you study it?
They bought Paul Kocher's Cryptography Research in 2021. Cryptography Research designed the Blu-Ray BD+ licensing system and owned a huge IP portfolio on differential power analysis, a technique Kocher, one of the godfathers of side channel cryptanalysis, invented. They also ran (run?) one of the industry's best cryptographic consultancies. If you're a major hardware vendor going to market with a new cryptographic coprocessor, you're very likely going to engage Rambus.

I would argue this is a false equivalency. The explanation is that Python is too entrenched to replace, not that it is somehow superior for this use case because it is dynamically typed.
I don't think the Japanese entity and US entity have any relation to each other anymore. I think US entity divested itself of Yahoo Japan completely in 2018 or so. Yahoo Japan is now collectively owned by Softbank and Naver under some holding company (it was big news in Japan when the merger happened).
Take your money elsewhere. Education should be a market. If you feel that "retaliation" is your only option, then you are mostly likely in a monopolized and non-functioning market. If you get good results, it will be due to luck, and not to anything that you've paid for.
Isn't Dubai where the crypto queen is rumored to live?

Yeah, I heard about that and I think would be really important to understand that connection to make sense of the various movements that exist today. I think it was connected with the western "new left" movement, but I'm still weak on details unfortunately.

The thing is however, that modern DEI seems to have morphed into yet another thing, which I think some leftists describe as "woke capitalism": It kept the feminism and diversity angles but threw out Marx altogether - hence why we now have DEI initiatives that justify their actions with "diverse employees increase profits".

I don't see what part of that is still left-wing.
This is a US-government narrative. The CIA is obviously controlled by the US government. Yet it can be used as a scapegoat whenever the US is caught—oh, it was the Deep State/CIA which did it, not really the government per se.
> I don't see how static typing helps with "solving the wrong problem" kind of issues at all.

One example is F#'s unit of measure system, which can statically verify dimensional agreement of arithmetic. Another example would be differentiating between "Safe Strings" and "Unsafe Strings" (say, untrusted user input) and statically enforcing which are allowed in which method. They won't tell you that "Facebook for Dogs" is a bad idea, but they may reveal subject-matter errors in the actual requirements themselves. Most test suites wouldn't even catch these errors, because test assertions are generally based on requirements. You could write your own unit-verifier that you run in tests, but then you're just reinventing static typing. In fact it's a common criticism of test suites in dynamically typed languages that they end up poorly reinventing checkers for the guarantees already provided by a decent static type checker.

> I noticed here that you didn't make any difference between testing, PBT, MT and proof systems

I also didn't differentiate between the Late Middle Ages and the Early Renaissance, because it was off topic. But if you insist:

"Property-Based Testing" is a testing pattern, not a different kind of test. Write tests and assertions as appropriate for the thing you're testing. It seems to me that you should have enough understanding of the likely failure scenarios and edge cases of your code that you don't need to be randomly generating inputs, but I can see how it'd be useful. I test all sorts of invariants in my tests. This just doesn't seem like a novel thing to me.

"Mutation Testing" is basically testing your testing methodology. Okay. You could also test your bus factor by randomly shutting out one developer for a day each month and seeing how you get on. Maybe good ideas for some companies? If you find yourself trying to develop a completely airtight testing process that will catch 100% of bugs, it's probably because too many bugs are passing your tests. Before you kill yourselves trying to develop an airtight, mathematically-guaranteed strong test system, may I suggest strong static type systems instead? Just let the compiler do it.

"Proof systems" are strong static type systems.

Agreed, vector search is great but it's only one of many tools you can use to create a great search solution.

We recently did a bunch of evaluation work to quantify the differences between keyword search, vector search, hybrid, reranking, etc. across a few datasets. We shared the results here: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-ai-services-blo...

The fact that you can add bounties to any issue on github is spectacular.
>The question around strong static typing is simple: would you rather work a bit more and get invariants checked at compile-time (or type-checking time for non-compiled languages), or work a bit less and have them be enforced at runtime

The latter. Other question?

Action > Opinions
I get why some people are trying to stick to the 1.5C thing, but it’s the role of scientists to just give it to us straight. We rely on that.

Additionally, I think it is actually better that they express the situation as-is (getting worse, faster) because the public isn’t going to change unless things are dire. There’s so much social and economic inertia that nothing is going to change until it absolutely has to. By voicing the reality that we’re going to shoot way past 1.5C, maybe that will start to raise more alarms.
Indeed - different classes of users will have different perceptions. I never understood why anyone would feel ruffled by different applications using different UI libraries...

>and many people will simply follow those guides without thinking about it too much

If capitalism keeps taking the time gains from technology advancements and adding more work into that time instead of giving it back to us, we simply won't have much time to think. That creates a great environment for high-pressure sales tactics.
Time spent and source of data.
I am arguing for it, for one. There isn't a single good reason that it should be optional in a production code base moving forward. If you started with a dynamically typed language, you should be introducing type hinting and enforcement at a CI/CD step as soon as yesterday.
When you have for-profit healthcare, it’s not surprising that the system optimizes for short term profits over the well-being of healthcare workers or patients. People are willing to pay almost anything to stay alive and/or healthy.
Healthcare workers will be paid (and otherwise treated) just well enough that they don’t leave. Sadly, the incentives are awful for people who get into healthcare for altruistic reasons.
Ex-yahoo here (Quit in 2022, at the height of salary boom :)

Yahoo is a profitable company with atleast 5B $ in revenue. Search and Mail are extremely profitable businesses. When was the last time you changed your mail id? Search is atleast 2B $ plus in revenue. Mail is 1B $ plus in revenue. Yahoo Finance, Yahoo sports, yahoo news are all highly trafficked websites although I dont know the revenue numbers. I do wager that if yahoo is put on stock market, its valuation will be around $10B although private equity has spent only 4B$ on acquiring them. Who knows what went into the discussions.

Why did I leave? Because I figured my career growth is elsewhere.

One thing I learnt at yahoo is that large companies take a very long time to die . You can have a profitable career in them, even if YoY growth is slowing.

"[...]when it would have been much easier and more effective to simply never reveal them to begin with if they did work."

I don't necessarily agree with what you're suggesting as being simpler. It may, in fact, be simpler to reveal the experiments and discredit them by using forged documents. Regardless of what may be simpler, I don't think it's scientific to take either position, which is why I prefer an agnostic stance when reading things that essentially require taking a faith-based position.
> Yeah you don’t want to write 80 personalized rejection emails (probably way more) aaaand we don’t want to write 80 (or more) cover letters. I feel that’s pretty fair.

A rejection letter is meant to convey a single fact. A cover letter is meant to convey important information that is relevant to the hiring decision. The two things are not equal.

When I've been hiring, cover letters have often been really critical to making these decisions. If an applicant omits a cover letter or uses one that is clearly boilerplate (or AI generated), that applicant is reducing my ability to assess their suitability for the position. As a result, they're less likely to land the job.
that's interesting. i've never read the book, maybe i'll give it a try. only had an experience with a person who highly recommended it and they weren't very trustworthy.

Pretty dubious claim. You really think that running and health are related in an even remotely linear fashion? It's likely doing it at all puts you way, way up the effort/benefit curve. Constantly pushing yourself for "better" eventually just becomes a waste of time you could put into something else.

Ask HN: What alternatives to the internet are there?
The internet is nice, don't get me wrong, but suppose you couldn't use it for whatever reason, what remains? Of course any network could be bridged to the internet, but I'm talking about something that could function independently, for example; the telegraph network, sneakernet, siprnet (maybe?).

What I'm thinking of is something like a global mesh or LoRa devices with enough caching to ensure delivery or something crazier that communicates via power lines or visible light or something, but doesn't depend on Tier-1 ISPs and telecom fiber and BGP etc.
For the record, that's just the West Coast. East Coast ain't like that.

> There's no doubt that an LLM can uncover whatever is structurally included in its training data, even if that encoding is implicit. What's less believable is that the LLM somehow achieves a grounded understanding of physical aspects of experience purely from streams of raw text.

I was responding to the point in your first paragraph in your upper level comment and this quoted paragraph. Multimodal models will address that.

Your new point about perception could still be a problem for multimodal models, but it’s also possible that with sufficient data, the new models could address that (eg it could say people perceive the colors differently, as A and B).

Multimodal models map between human language and raw sensory data. It’s fundamentally similar, in principle, to part of how we learn our first language. (Not saying we do only that though.)
This comment is cringe enough that it is making the rounds on multiple Slacks. It's fine that you've never heard of Curve448. That just means you're not a cryptography engineer. Most people aren't! But if you're not one of those, be a little careful about connecting the dots to things like "Crypto AG". Saying "I've never heard of Curve448, it sounds sketchy" is a little like a systems programmer saying "I've never heard of Paxos before, it sounds sketchy". Most systems programmers are never going to do anything with Paxos. But all the competent ones can look it up in about 20 seconds and confirm that it isn't a conspiracy.
Hm. On large electrical machines in industry there is always a nice big red mushroom shaped killswitch. Might not be a terrible idea to have such a thing on any kind of EV? Because all those fancy electronic switches can fail in complex and hard to predict ways.

Stockle is an investment tracker. Currently running in beta mode.
Why another one you may ask? Well, there wasn't one that had really focus on strictly showing detailed data on investments at multiple levels (aggregated, portfolio, holding and single purchase level). Most trackers miss the basic data investors wish to see. We are not trying to track the price of your net worth including houses and boats. The focus is on stocks, funds and ETFs. Aiming to consistently improve the platform with even more detailed data.

It supports performance tracking, dividend tracking, open/closed positions, multiple portfolios, TWR/Simple return/market value tracking etc.

I have not heard of any road-legal EVs in any markets not having mechanical brakes.

So either there was a failure of that braking system here or the driver was very confused about what was going on.
