Did you really see it necessary to go off on a long diatribe merely because I said that the health benefits of vaccines outweigh the risks?

Did you also need to make a number of medically uninformed statements?

Did you also need to include all your anecdotes?

The long and short of it is that the medical establishment believes that the health benefits of COVID vaccines outweigh the risks. If you really want to tilt at that windmill, you'll need to make much more convincing arguments to get the establishment to change its mind.
> Tech professionals have been moving from expensive cities to lower-cost locations. U.S. inflation-adjusted remote salaries have been higher on average. Employers have decreased the number of open roles in high-cost-of-living markets by 19% and have nearly quadrupled the number of positions in low-cost-of-living markets to 9% since 2020.

I wonder if this trend will continue, or if companies will hire for in office roles which are in more HCOL markets.

My guess is that the top paying jobs are going to be primarily in office (even when adjusted for COL) because executives will believe that in person collaboration gives them an edge.
"parasitical to his parents and contributing nothing to the human experience."

This is nasty language however you put it and you're certainly talking in a way that makes me think that you DO think you are "better" than this person. But you should be careful, I know plenty of "achieving people" who gave their parents or society this or that and ended up with kids with troubles who under your definition "live as parasitical mooches contributing nothing to the human experience".

Would you like people casting those kind of comments at your own kids in future when they don't know a thing about the struggles they may have been through? Because I'm sorry but claiming you empathise with someone and then calling them a "parasitical mooch" out the other side of your mouth makes me think you don't truly empathise with them at all.
The Russians have the best offroading equipment (kamaz) in the world.

Back in the pirate radio days 100 and 250kw transmitters were common.

Back in the '30s a few AM stations ran at 500kw, and could be picked up on other continents.
I have a feeling this makes charging less... not efficient, but slower charging.

The end of this thing is a bunch of wire in a loop, the inductor that transfers the energy to the phone. So it was odd to me that he chose the cord as the antenna that was broadcasting the noise, when I'd think it would be the business end. These frequencies being broadcast might be overlooked harmonics, ok to filter out, but they might be a designed part of the energy transfer that the charger is attempting. It's possible that he's damped the noise and the charging, but under normal use he doesn't need the maximum charge so it's still a win.

not my specialty, just speculating based on basic EE knowledge.

I think it would be better to just find the nurses that are harming their patients irrespective of whether they enjoy it while they do it.
You’re never going to get children interested in free software. They barely know what software is let alone the distinction between free and proprietary software.

On the other hand you will be able to get adults interested, there are likely plenty of us out there that are completely jaded from using proprietary software most of their lives. The ideals of freedom, privacy and openness are still valued by some and they should be the core of the recruitment message.

> “Yes, this is real,” someone replied. “They trampled over attendees, shoved their way into the recruiter’s booth to wave their resumes in front of their faces, verbally assaulted attendees, and physically pushed and shoved attendees in line.”

That should have been mentioned in the Wired article. I think those men could have been removed without violating federal employment law (though the event many not have had enough security to do that).

Cisco has its famous 'Spin-in' strategy.

A "spin-in" is a form of R&D in which a company is the sole investor in a startup. It sends a team of employees off to build an experimental product and then buys that startup for a predetermined and very healthy price.

Cisco has spent on average $763 million to acquire each spin-in that these three men have founded, even though Cisco was also the sole investor in each.

Depends on the sender. Using fake opt-out links to build lists of verified addresses is a trick almost as old as spam itself. But services like SendGrid actually honor unsubscribes, and I believe monitor the unsubscribe rates of their customers to catch those buying lists.

I'm not a Gmail user, but doesn't Google click the link in the List-Unsubscribe header for you when you mark as spam? The help article linked from the Google blog post implies they do (or they will): https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#subscriptions

If it is self-evident that bullet trains and their infra are superior to cars and their infra (as your response implies), what are the reasons you think bullet trains have not spread?
There's truth in what you say. I was interpreting (without studying closely) the scale of what's happening to be beyond the scale where ICs have significant leverage, so not the startup venture scale but more like B-C round. It's already clear this stuff's going to be big, and the biggest players have the most advantages, it's time to scale, quit, or pray for a proprietary technological breakthrough. But you're right about giving small equity stake holders a more pure play though equity is an expensive way to pay people.

Not with self indulgent high budget folly like ‘Mother Nature’

I never said don’t make the objects I actually said I’m fine with how abhorrent a 3 plastic battery coffins that are AirPods are for how good the experience is.

Just don’t make marketing material like ‘Mother Earth’ when you’re shipping those products.
My understanding of the paper is less "we couldn't reproduce this paper" and more "insufficient data is available to guarantee any replication is identical".

Basically how can you be sure your difference points to a mistake in the original vs a mistake in repetition.

Additionally I think it was also a little "replication would be cheaper if we did this".

However I think calling it fundamental is a bit of a stress. After all such a paper is going to heavily focus on such details by necessity. You have to categorize to perform such a study and blockers become glaringly obvious.

However IMHO I think that a failed replication caused by inaccurate replication isn't a lost cause and instead acts as a new lens to view the original in. "You forgot to mention whether you controlled for X so I did but it didn't work" is valuable but certainly harder to catch in peer review (where the explicit mention might have caused questions).

Put another way we can replicate as well as we need to if we prioritize it and while better steps are important they aren't as important as actually replicating.

You only once mentioned a single theory which only touches on a part of the replication crisis and not the core issue of "no one can replicate with no funds to do so"...

Looks like a fun project. If you are looking for another way to slow down your connection then play around with tc's netem delays [1] You may have to make two sets of rules, one for your interface and then you may need to make an ifb interface as well depending on your cabling setup to also slow inbound traffic. netem can give you fine grained controls over added latency.

"cgo isn't go" is repeated as a point of religion by some.

That said, I have a bunch of QEMU VMs just to compile cgo to platforms like OpenBSD, illumos, macOS, Windows, etc.

OpenBSD and such aren't that much of a hassle because it performs pretty well and these systems do what I tell them to do, unlike macOS and especially Windows, which are much more annoying and slower because they seem to spend most of their time running searching indexers, virus scanners, updaters, and who knows what, and then maybe perhaps, if the laptop is held at the right angle, and if it so behoves, also decides to spend some CPU cycles to my compiler.

Either way, the pain is real, at least for me. Although, yeah, that obviously isn't a solution.

In general I'm wary of write/translate from langX to langY. At a previous job another team was rewriting ColdFusion code to Go. "ColdFusion with Go syntax" was certainly a creative and novel use of the Go language. Translating from one language to another always seems hard because your brain gets "primed" by the source language, or something, and not all concepts necessarily map all that well in the first place – I have the same translating text, which I've generally found surprisingly hard.
Are there retail banks in America which aren't run for profit? I wasn't aware. Should citizens be forced to keep their money with privately run institutions, which decide when and how and if they can access their money, in order to transact on the most basic level, in order to buy food? If so, the government effectively renounces its exclusive control of the currency.

Why do countries print currency? For the settlement of debts public and private. It's not merely a civil rights issue. It's a core governmental function to provide a public and universally accepted instrument of trade. Governments which partner with privately run banks and coerce citizens into using those banks are inherently corrupt.

> Yet if a weakness is common, it also means that human coders frequently make the same mistake as well.

It only means programmers commonly talk about it. This isn't the same thing as measuring incidence in production or distribution.

Anyway, i'd argue the real question is "can the chatbot fix the code if requested to".
It doesn’t matter if students know what to expect.

An oral exam isn’t the same as reading a written exam out loud. There are a set of learning outcomes defined in the syllabus. The examiner uses the learning outcomes to ask probing questions that start a conversation - emphasis on conversation. A conversation can’t be faked. A simple follow up question can reveal a student only has a shallow understanding of material. Or, the student could remember everything they’ve been told, but fail to make connections between learning outcomes. You can’t cram for an oral exam. You have to digest the course material and think about what things mean in context.

After all, students know what to expect on standardized tests. Some still do better than others :-).
You will never “know” with certainty because of the limits of inductive reasoning to prove theories, but you _can_ choose demarcation methods that don’t rely on a consensus.

The consensus might be correct more of the time, but that shouldn’t be a scientific reason to follow the consensus. You should follow the consensus because you have some empirical reason to agree with it and disagree with it if you have reason to believe a better theory.

The only person who needs to defer to an authority reflexively is someone who is completely ignorant of science. They don’t have the sophistication to judge, but thinking that this extends to sophisticated actors is an error. Consensus is for the ignorant.
Most west coast cities have had problems with vagrancy, shoplifting, zoning, etc. for years. As far as tax revenue is concerned, this isn't so farfetched. The state government may be willing to play ball if the city legislature doesn't.

One argument for taxing these businesses is that they will increase the number of vehicles on the roads. I'm not so fluent with the language of social justice, but this could be spun as pro-environment and anti-gentrification.

Countries with weak control over mostly worthless currencies reach a point where it's more profitable for their government ministers to take kickbacks from the banks providing cashless services than it is for them to run a printing press anymore. It's hardly progress. The US still hasn't hit quite that level of corruption, and still has some control over its monetary policy.

You're making shit up. You posted the same comment in several places, and it's false. It's not helpful or constructive.

If you believe a law says something, quote it.

Right to expression doesn't cover this, under any non-crackpot interpretation. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights even has an explicit carve-out from right to expression for the rights or reputation of others to demonstrate which one takes precedence.

If you want to make up your own laws, please go register yourself as a "sovereign citizen," and wait until someone throws you in prison (and perhaps, then, realize it doesn't work that way).

I get you'd like this to be a right enshrined in law, but it's not, and it won't be, and it can't be.

Actually, better thing to do: Go to a Muslim country, start taking photos of strangers, and then waive your claims around. Let us know how that goes for you.
Holy crap. I was just writing a blog to complain about the state of Rust benchmarking and I think this might address most of my points. The biggest one is the ability to have benchmarks collocated within the library like tests which is the biggest annoyance.

It’s also nice to see that it can report multiple counters in parallel. I put up a similar feature[1] for criterion recently but I fear the project isn’t being maintained anymore…

Haven’t looked deeply into divan yet but the other requirements I have for criterion’s power is to run tests with statistical guarantees on the results, terminate quickly when statistical significance is reached (—quick), provide a comparison of the delta from a previous benchmark, and to run async code. Wonder how this stacks up.

No, it's not unfair at all. Apple's gotten busted for this exact thing and had to shell out $500 million in damages.

> I really have a hard time with a realistic business model that would be significantly better.

Well this one might be good for business, but as you can see, it is extremely bad for the individual.
You might want to add a \ before the asterisk.
> One thing that might help is government regulation that any ISP using CGNAT must offer IPv6. Customers should get public IP address, single IPv4 or /64 IPv6.

My understanding is they largely do. It's the ISPs that have enough IPv4 addresses that don't feel a need to upgrade, and the website operators who $3/server/month for an IPv4 address is a rounding error.
> I'm actually a hardware engineer. <...> You can easily validate any specific idea using cycle accurate simulators

If anything, I'm less convinced than before that you understand how complex a modern CPU is. Perhaps you can re-read my comment; I essentially did what you are suggesting, but that wasn't enough, in my opinion, to glean any information about benchmarks in the real world. It took hundreds of hours. To make it slightly more realistic but still woefully inaccurate using licensable IP's and my own time/money without the company's buy-in seems absurd, even to the most stubborn HN commenter. The fact that we are modifying the L1/L2/L3 structure (perhaps you also didn't read the patent before commenting) makes this essentially re-designing large parts of the CPU from the ground up, at least as far as I understand licensable core IP.

> I would expect you continue working on the apparently golden idea your sitting

Why? No one ever said it was the golden idea. Only that I found it interesting. Apologies if my optimistic curiosity triggered your defenses.

Regardless, your statement makes no sense for other reasons. Perhaps there's a cultural gap (are you not American?). Here are some relevant points about US companies and patents I hope I can help you understand:

1. Big US corporations will patent anything novel, technical, and remotely related to the business as a means of protecting themselves against litigation. Most of these patents only see an initial technical committee, lawyers, and then are never seen again.

2. Inventors have zero individual rights to their patents when patented via company channels (in exchange, the company pays for the lawyers and usually grants a tiny stipend).

3. Interns typically do not influence how research budgets are allocated.
You've highlighted exactly what the comment you were replying to was talking about, the aspect ratio is much different. The Pixel 8 Pro has a 6.7" screen vs the 6" on nexus 6, despite being 10% narrower.

Wait. If they are making phones that get bought up every year because of people like your friend, then where is the waste?

Some of this is unavoidable while fixing the scaling problems of IPv4. Longer addresses are never going to be preferable for users over shorter addresses, but addresses are necessarily going to be longer than IPv4 if it's going to support more devices.
If he's an official representitive of the comapny he is the authorisation - we're not talking about the janitor here, we're talking about people with fiduciary responsibility between themselves and the company.

A lone wolf acting alone and falsifying documents is entirely different to a direct representative who is authorised to act on behalf of a company acting in bad faith.

Otherwise company officials are free to do henious crimes in the name of and on behalf of a company with no blowback on the company when those actions go pear shaped and get exposed.

Commanders are responsible for the actions of their men, companies are responsible for the actions of their principals.
Tying NFTs/Web3 to some future image sensor signing tech wouldn’t be an enhancement. The public sentiment about that space has shifted rapidly while scam after scam is uncovered.

Even if some of the underpinning ideas are useful, they should be reintroduced specifically for these new use cases.

The future of this tech needs to be developed in lock step with the existing web that people actually use. This means eventual uptake by major browsers, and hopefully agreement on open standards.
I used to work with the Halide guys from 2019-2021; I was on the TVM team. The compilers group was very proud of Halide's success in the early pixel phones. That was the library behind HDR+ on the Pixel 3.

Hexagon is a difficult architecture to write code for but the benefits are worth it: it's the secret sauce for why Qualcomm's modems are so good. I see people getting all excited over AVX512 and I just think "well we had 2048 bit vectors years ago"

Strongly disagree about the Pinecone developer experience. Not that they don't have SDKs, but last I checked they didn't have documentation on how to approach local dev environments.

The implication being that you spin up a separate index for $70/mo, and then you have to upsert any relevant data yourself. Sure that's not difficult, but why do you have to do it at all? Why doesn't Pinecone make it easy to replicate data to another index for use in dev/staging?
> Seems ironic that you’d use rust to “build fast”. My impression is that Rust is more about building things safe/correct and efficient, with developer productivity being lower relative to other modern languages.

I have to admit that I have limited experience working deeply with Rust, but I've found thus far that my relative productivity is inversely proportional to the size of the project. That is, for large projects, Rust is much more productive than other languages. For small ones, less productive.
Still rockin' my 6s and it is quite peppy. I take 4k videos relatively often.
Come join our Discord if you get the chance and find me there in the ruby-sdk channel. I've been doing some experiments with Wasm and ruby (particularly around rails and higher level application abstractions) and would love to have another rubyist to bounce ideas off of.

we also like Discord _for_ the “chit chat” though. getting to know the community that’s growing around your project is one of the most enjoyable aspects of open source IMO!
Not only does the device feed high-frequency signals into your power wiring, it can get noise from it like motors turning on or off and spiking the voltage.

It's only a problem if it's a problem. If they'd done proper filtering inside the device maybe it's ok.
I thought of tiny core right away as my work uses it as a network boot image. It works great for that.
Since when is 25% enough to block the other 75%? Actually?

75% is a supermajority.

Think about that a bit, and I think you’ll get your answer. You’re being lied to, and it isn’t actually that 25% that is (solely) at fault.
