I think a comparison to PyTorch, TensorFlow and/or JAX is more relevant than a comparison to CuPy/NumPy.

And then maybe also a comparison to Flashlight (https://github.com/flashlight/flashlight), xtensor (https://github.com/xtensor-stack/xtensor) or other C/C++ based ML/computing libraries?

Also, there is no mention of it, so I suppose this does not support automatic differentiation?

To be fair, these are invalid attack vectors in the first place. Attackers automatically gain the full access to desktop sessions as soon as a connection is made to the X server. It's already vulnerable by design, so there's almost no need to look for exploits.

False positive rates are a concern for any widespread medical testing. If you test everyone in the USA for a rare disorder, a super great test might have a 1% false positive rate and 1% false negative rate. It's good that you catch 99% of people with the disorder, but that might only be 10,000 people. At the same time, you'll get 3.3 million false positives which will absolutely swamp the medical systems for follow-up tests, some of which will also have false positives. This costs a ton of money at the very least for unnecessary follow-up testing, and realistically would overwhelm the medical systems designed for just those 10,000 people. It also causes a great amount of undue stress and financial burden on the 3.3 million affected families.

Some people will also be unlucky enough to get false positives on the follow-up test, and eventually you may end up performing unnecessary invasive interventions on 30,000 people who don't have the underlying condition.

It's not to say that:

> the earlier you detect it, the better.

Is wrong, per se. But we'll need to narrow down the criteria for who should be recommended to get these tests in order to minimize harms from false-positives. So you'd want to identify risk factors and have a way to check if someone has those risk factors before testing them.
Am I missing something here? Wouldn't most reasonably smart criminals leave their smartphones switched on at home before they go on a job? 'Switched on' at home would be an alibi if later questioned. Alternatively, at least switching to airplane mode or switching the phone off (but that could indicate intent).

It seems to me then that only the stupid would get caught this way. That raises the question of how much longer will this method be effective when even the stupid get wind of the fact that their phones will betray them.

From the unsolved crimes mentioned it seems the smart have caught on already. I wonder if there are any stats on whether crooks are actively aware of the dangers of carrying a phone. If so, then is there any trend downward in solving crimes as the knowledge of the fact spreads?
Let me rephrase.

There hasn't been evidence that AI doesn't pose an actual danger to human society. There are lots of predictions that it could not, or fictional scenarios where it does not. But no actual real-world cases.

This is where the Oxford Comma, largely not adopted in the US, is your friend
In general, the deference to 'legislative intent' has become less of a focus over the last couple decades. I don't think legislators have ever been called to testify in this manner, but even if they were it would not happen at the Supreme Court (or any other appellate court). Witnesses are only called at trial courts.
Sounds like commie gobbledygook to me.
> Those anecdotes are more the exception rather than the rule.

That is false. Most addicts are nicotine and alcohol addicts and they function ok, in general, without special support. They have plenty of problems, to be sure, but prohibition would only multiply them.
This could happen, but the courts have become more textualist in recent decades. When I was in law school in the aughts, we learned about legislative intent. I imagine current law school students are taught about it, but told that it is disfavored, and only used as an argument of last resort.

It seems obvious that this AND was added as one does a list of things, "Add sugar, flour AND water." but in a conditional, which makes it possible to construe a different meaning.

In my understanding, the court should strive to interpret the law by its intention, and here it seems reasonable that the AND should not have been there.
It should just have been "If any item in the following list of conditions are met [A, B, C]", even if it seems syntactically less polite, there's at least no ambiguity as to what it means.
Or if they had just distributed the "not" to each of the three requirements below (assuming that is what they meant).

Why Donate to Erowid Center? The issues surrounding psychoactive drugs are complex. Prohibition discourages the spread of accurate information in favor of "Just Say No" rhetoric. But prohibition has failed and we need to move on to education. Information sources need to prioritize accuracy rather than maintaining politically driven anti-drug messages. Erowid provides free, balanced, reliable information about psychoactive plants and drugs. We don't convince users to abstain or legislators to pass particular laws. We provide the information necessary for people to make their own rational choices.

Rather than 'puzzles', I think the issue is that these are 'big idea languages'. (Eg., haskell = pure lazy). These ideas permeate all levels of program design, making programming often converting the naive interpretation of the problem into their Big Idea.

Phrased this way, it seems like they won't be puzzles in certain domain-specific areas; ie., when the naive problem suits their big idea.

So I'd say the 'puzzle issue' arises because big-idea langs are just not good for many problems.

>> It's a real problem that some people cannot afford the fees on a bank account, but I would prefer that we find some way to provide everyone with minimum banking services. Like a no-fee government-provided debit card.

The government shouldn’t even need to get involved here. In the UK accounts have no standard charge and come with free debit card. There’s no reason banks in the US can’t offer this other than the fact people think paying for an account is normal so they can get away with it. Do the “app” banks like Revolut and Monzo offer free accounts in the US? Curious if they’re bringing some competition that could force change.

HN has a strange spectrum of salaries, where some people will casually mention earning 250K for not doing anything special.

It'd be nice to see what an actually competitive payment processing market would look like. Merchants seem to have no power in this system and I don't see much effort between banks to compete for business, either.

I think the larger level of success requires larger amount of luck. To he mega successful like Jeff Bezos, the amount of luck required is so huge that probably none of us could achieve in 100 life time.

But for smaller successes, like building a profitable lifestyle business, I’d argue it requires much less luck (still needed regardless).

Also there are 4 kinds of luck:

- Pure luck: out of our control. This is where most people referring to

- Luck from motion: hustling, grinding, increase luck surface area. This is where most founders find their “luck” comes from

- Luck from preparation

- Luck from uniqueness

like what European Union did with the basic bank account
I use Nginx as reverse proxy, and each service runs on the same internal port. There is a way to configure Nginx natively to dynamically route to the container with the same name. If I need multiple services up locally for development, I bring up Nginx there too, and each service is mapped to a domain that ends with .test, which I have added to local DNS (in my case /etc/hosts ). I find that it's anyway better to run development with reverse proxy to find errors that otherwise only would appear in prod.

The main thing I want to improve is to not use one big compose file for all services, as it would be cleaner to have one per service and just deploy them to the same network. But I haven't figured the best way to auto-deploy each service's compose file to the server (as the current auto-deploy only updates container images).
The article talks about how these "top news sites" (which they don't seem to define) contain "quality information" and "trusted information" - but is that really true?

Even sites that had a very good reputation like the BBC have increasingly been dumbing down their content and posting more clickbait in the last few years, and there are plenty of popular news sites (Fox, Daily Mail, etc) that are full of misinformation and trash.

There are several news sites that I used to regularly read (both global and local news) which I've given up on, because the combination of lower quality content, clickbait and terrible UX means that they no longer feel like they're worth reading.

So perhaps they need to consider whether some of this decrease in sharing on social media is down to the decrease in quality of the news sites themselves.
Under rated comment. I've seen discussion of this in the past and it's been speculated that there might be a sizable portion of users of these drugs having HPPD to some extent. I can attest personally to effects of HPPD on myself when I was younger:

- It completely destroyed my night vision to the point that I couldn't see at all in low light. No eyes would never 'adapt' because the amount of visual snow (like a TV set to an untuned channel) would overwhelm what I could see

- Massive halos around lights. Night time became dreamy.

- After-image impressions of reading text. So it became a little harder to read.

- It's very easy for me now to experience closed eyed visuals when I'm completely sober. It usually happens when I'm tired.

These effects can happen with all hallucinogens and weed is psychoactive, too. People don't mention these nuances that visual changes may linger after the trip. You can imagine that some people might feel like they've just screwed themselves up forever. I felt that way for about a month before I got used to it. The effects above have mostly gone away now though.

I really do think that these kind of drugs permanently change how you visually perceive the world. So I think your concerns are completely valid. I have heard stories about this exact topic online from people freaking out.

Yes, but not compressing them individually, and while staying in the userland (and having SHA1 on each, just for kicks). The real world scenarios tend to be make a big archive (e.g. tar) and compress that thing.

>and not about RAM and cache access efficiency

It's about the size of the cache, workloads that fit L2 vs such that don't, exhibit an amazing performance boost. Pretty much, the performance drops off a cliff when it doesn't fit the L2.

Overall microbenchmarks are extremely/notoriously difficult to get right, and more often than not, they are gamed. However the compression/decompression of geekbench is just bad.

My own family dashboard. I did not purchase it but wrote myself and it was a life changer.

It is an always-on screen (during the day) where everything family oriented happens: all our calendars merged for today and tomorrow (and important events within 6 days), weather, when kids are back from school, info when I am on my way back from work, various alerts on stuff breaking at home, etc.

When I finally installed it, my wife told me to get rid of this monstrosity. After a few days I just switched it off one evening and the morning after it was chaos at home. Switched back and fast forward to 7 years and there we are.

Probably the most useful thing I built in my life.

Surely the main benefit is cost? RAM size (and disk size in Apple's case) are used for price differentiation. If you can replace them yourself they can't charge you through the nose for bigger sizes.
