I always wondered why nobody is using that as the root of a P2P randomness system.

It would be very useful to have a trusted source of time, with a few keys that are meant to never change, that anyone can rebroadcast.

We could have zero configuration clocks that get the time from the nearest phone or computer without any manual setup!

There are many situations where C libraries are amazingly small. This however is not one of those cases. ipnsort is aggressively optimized for binary-size. A sort instantiation for u64 is ~4.5k while crumsort was ~53k last time I measured.

I know several easy ways to boost ipnsort's performance by 10% but don't because they don't align with my binary-size and compile-time goals.
Reversal of Biological Age in Multiple Rat Organs by Young Porcine Plasma
Ask HN: What's the fastest platform for deploying code with CI/CD?
My goals are:

1. Write Java or Python code, though I can settle for other languages as well if it makes more sense.
2. Every time I click 'Compile' and the unit tests pass, ship it off to the CI/CD pipeline where my integration tests run.
3. Once the tests pass, deploy the updated version of the code to 1 or more servers.

In an ideal world, I'd like the entire process from clicking 'Compile' to having the code in the first Production server take 60 seconds or less. I'm willing to pay money for this. Ideally I'd like to avoid doing too much manual scaffolding to make this happen.

As of 2023, what are my best options? Gitlab? Github? CircleCI? Replit? AWS CodePipeline? A containerized solution of some sort?

That's what tree is for

> I think it is only good to use directory as data table to store JSON data files, but not for JSON data properties.

I see that as no better than one big JSON file or a normal NoSQL database.

If you're really fancy then the whole DB is just a VFS and those JSON files aren't real files, just a serialized form of the DB.
I selected Java as programming language and got a lot of engines that are not usable in Java. But the two main Java engines, LWJGL & LibGDX, that are present in the database were not on the list.
Thanks for your suggestions. The problem isn't with crypto, it's with fiat (EUR), all other assets can be transferred/converted.

Two notes from C++ user in gamedev.
Please, make realistic ValWithPtr implementation for C++.
Please, implement comparison inlining in C and C++ where algorithm API allows it.
Where else are you going to find videos to watch? Vimeo? Bing? YouTube has a dominant market position And wants you to pay for it. Their reasoning could be that if they give you enough ads that make it unbearable, you will pay just to get rid of the ads and wants you to pay for it. Their reasoning could be that if they give you enough ads that make it unbearable, you will pay just to get rid of the ads.

From a business perspective, it's completely logical.
So the article says this new method of calculating price is based on ~15% of crypto transactions correlating to a round number in some kind of fiat

You can use educated guessing to find that round number, as you have so much data pointing to it

But that's only 15% of all transactions; if there was money on the line, you could submit your own transactions to game this system for your own benefit. You only need to beat that 15% or so of transactions the article quoted.
> Such as things like human rights, standards of living, morality and the role+purpose and limitations of government.

Unfortunately, the dustbins of history are full of civilizations that took disruptive events carefully and with grave dignity and solemnity and respected the rights of powerful stake-holders within their society.

That the people who make such arguments generally live in the places best positioned to weather out the situation, is also unfortunate. While people in well-pr tut about whether it's really proper for a government to take action to avoid calamity from befalling its citizens, other people will be literally dying.

It's a rather crass and callous/indifferent position you've staked out, you're kind of not coming off like a very good person here. Like it's literally "I guess you'll have to die, then, not like we're going to unwind the economy just for you" once again.

It is, as someone notes upthread, basically the same as masks during COVID. Some people will stroke their chin and pontificate about utilitarianism and the greater good, but that's not really comfort to anyone whose loved one dies from excess pollution or a transmissible disease. And of course the people taking this position are usually the most protected themselves - we all can WFH here if circumstances dictate, it's different if it's your wife stocking a grocery store, they care a lot less about the GDP impact and more about the direct personal impact than you do.

And the existence of this subgroup - such as yourself - fundamentally forestalls the ability of the other 70% of the society from being able to protect itself. Kind of a problem in general - the american system (and the EU and UN as well, but particularly the US) provides too many brakes on action and biases to inaction (via checks-and-balances) such that even supermajority level political control often is not enough unless it is single-party control of every single branch of government and lever of power.

You don't just need 50%, you don't just need 70%, you need 70% across every possible dimensionality that the US distributes political power over - essentially single-party control is the only way to rule if the minority does not consent, and we are talking about people who openly state that they will never consent.

It'll end in deaths sooner or later, whether that's from inaction, or from those whose deaths would be caused by inaction taking action themselves (which is why almost everyone is forecasting conflict and political instability from climate change to kick up majorly in the second half of the century). Again, the only disappointing part is that this too will be visited on the least-fortunate instead of the responsible parties (who will largely be fine, and we will probably even bail out florida and other affected areas anyway).

What happens when the unstoppable force of climate change meets the immovable object of modern political system's bias-to-inaction? Fireworks, basically - because unlike HN you can't just tone-police the discussion away in the real world, people won't just take "I guess you'll have to die so I can have the new xbox this year" lying down.

Any language that reifies types at compile time should have reasonably similar performance characteristics given similar code. Zig, though, should still end up being easier to make faster simply because it’s not RAII heavy, and doesn’t push you over in to dynamic dispatch whenever it feels like it.

The reason I responded to you though, is because comptime is not strictly for performing business logic at comptime. Most comptime uses are for the reification of code.

Hey, author of the post here. My takeaway after trying all these strategies is that there's no one right answer. All paths can work but also have failure states.

They would have spent up to 10% of revenue on lawyers and lobbying to get out of the fine entirely and thereby have no fear of another one.

Spot on. Laravel is amazing but bang for buck, Rails is king. I like React a lot and it checks a lot of boxes, but my personal projects are almost always Rails (sometimes Astro) these day.
But you are essentially making a philosophical argument about what defines a "world model". It is a disagreement about a subjective interpretation of the term.
Ask channels you watch about it. It’s not youtube doing that.
Then we should put the same restrictions on OpenAI as we do as humans. So if a website has a paywall, OpenAI must pay to view the content. However, since this data is being given to an AI that is not an individual, there probably be different licensing so copyright holders can extract value from their works in the final model in some way. Maybe some payment before, and some after.

Even non paywalled content should receive compensation of that work is copyrighted. OpenAI should not be able to profit off the work of others at a mass scale in this fashion.
I didn't say it was inaccurate, I said it was intentionally abstracted to hide the actual truth. The federal government doesn't have money to pay for these things. It raised taxes to compensate. It _was_ your money. And yes, as you've noted, they even took your money and then used it to make your life even worse and costly.

You got robbed. Twice.

I like to say that accidents don’t exist and this is a great example. Everything people do happens for a reason, and calling things accidents just gives us excuses to not find the underlying reason most of the time. We should not accept “accidental” weapon discharges, especially by police. If you’re not able to control yourself inside a school you have not earned the responsibility of being a police officer.
The current media landscape has become so centralized because the revenue for publications has cratered. They lost the very lucrative ad space they had with the advent of online ads and subscribers could not make up the difference.

You can solve the decentralization of the distribution of the content. But if you cannot find a way to finance the reporting itself you will not have enough reporting to share. You already have small independent publications trying to survive. They cannot survive for lack of revenue and funding.

I don't think it should be required that my grandma should be able to fix it for it to qualify as repairable. There are tons of phone repair shops that do battery and screen swaps. I'm sure if the devices were even moderately more repairable and parts existed they would be happy to do a lot more with expert knowledge. I wouldn't mind if I could take my device to these shops and get it fixed. Sure, doing it myself may be a nice bonus but I think we can let some people specialize. What I don't think is acceptable is if only the original manufacture can source parts or perform repairs (if they decide to at all)
It always feels like open source enthusiasts would never pay for something themselves, but expect that their boss will for some reason. What would your boss get by paying that he/she isn't already getting for free?
Well you obviously didn't read the article, as the article very explicitly covers an approach that is "[..] the choice to make income in a way that leaves time to pursue meaning outside of work in the form of art, hobbies, or side projects." How is that any different than what you just spent 4 paragraphs describing?

It's incredibly ironic that you try to diss the article as sounding like it was written by an AI, when your comment reads as copy+paste echo chamber commentary on work ethics/money which isn't actually connected to the article you're supposedly commenting on.
Yeah, it's difficult for me to always add the qualifer, "HTTP/3 allows self-signed certs but no implementation that exists in any browser allows self signed certs".
I'm surprised to see that the author's ipnsort is not published on crates.io, even though it performs at first or second place on most of the benchmarks for unstable sorts and it passes all the safety and correctness criteria, all while also being able to deterministically panic to inform the user of a logic bug in their comparison function.

Until I got to the numbers I assumed that Stripe's remote percentage stayed relatively stable as other firms moved around. And I guess the numbers bear that out. If Stripe went from 20% -> 40% and similar companies went from 15% -> 50% then it looks like Stripe has more convictions about remote work than most companies.
Actually Meta has done plenty of open-source work in the past, Llama is just their latest one. Though I suspect this is more to hobble their competitors (Google, etc) and place themselves as a key player in this, nevertheless, I think their open-source LLM contributions do help the community.
The proposal was to crank up the price of oil directly. You couldnt price-curve your way past a $1,000 per CO2 ton tax. While plastic does not drive oil production, it is definitely the case that oil prices determine plastic production costs.

Recycling can absorb much of that, but medical plastics cannot be made through recycling today.
Agree. I've never even looked at any of these AI tools. I enjoy the process and the challenge of programming, and the rewards of doing it well. I have no desire for someone or something else to write code for me.
I'm surprised it's such a small number.

It's been a bit more than 8000 days since 9/11. So the US federal government spent about $1BN/day, or about $3 per person per day. So, from all the taxes I've been paying to the US government over all these years, they have taken $3 each day and allocated it to wars. If that's the case, there's a good chance I spent more money at Starbucks over the same period.

I've already posted in another comment that I don't think there's a reason for me to insist, but I'd just like to point out that it's OK to not be an expert in everything but one should not have strong opinions on matters not of one's expertise.

You should run for politics. The level of strawmanning and platitudes that your reply just levied is something typically only seen from politicians.
AI doesn't "just" repeat data. You can feed a LLM 100% fact-checked data and it'll still hallucinate.

It's a core problem with generative AI and it can't be solved with better data.

I have to say--the opening paragraph doesn't describe a reality I'm familiar with:

>Web search is such a routine part of daily life that it’s easy to forget how marvelous it is. Type into a little text box and a complex array of technologies—vast data centers, ravenous web crawlers, and stacks of algorithms that poke and parse a query—spring into action to serve you a simple set of relevant results.

Web search has, for me, become a nasty twisted hall of mirrors well before generative AI. I almose never get fed relevant results, I alsmost always have to go back and quote all my search terms because the search engine decided it didn't really need to use all of them (usually just one.) The only difference is the poison was human generated. generative AI will simply erase the 5% of results that might give me an answer quickly.
