Super cool resource for middle and high school students learning to code! I wish this existed when I was in school. Will definitely be sharing it with kids and even older folks wanting to learn the basics of code :)
You forgot about land. Land is different from capital.

A competition where we all try to outbid each other on land does nothing for the economy.
People are accustomed to choosing their content now. If a TikTok video doesn’t capture them in half a second, they move on to the next one. This is not a population that would prefer to pay their service provider to choose their content for them.
I could see this happening ... in a generation. We're a long way off and tech changes quickly but the large physical plant investments in producing real products is slower. It will be some time before AI and robots are good enough to replace a lot of the labor that humans do, but I see no inherent reason that it won't happen.

Right now the main thing AI is good at is quickly generating bullshit, so those are the jobs that are going to be first to be replaced.
Yeah, if that was omnipresent before the pandemic, right? But suddenly, to observe something that's not supposed to be present increases the odds of causation.
By default if rsync sees any difference in metadata (timestamps), it just copies over the file fresh - first to a temporary file and then renames over the original. To do an in-place update you'd need to specify an arg for that. And even then, it needs to do a full read of both files to compare, so all it saves on is bandwidth.
It's usually the opposite. People who accomplish little often do a lot. You can see ineffective managers multitasking in meetings all the time, then they're at home responding to messages until midnight. A lot of managing might also be wikis and such, but it's easier to schedule 1-1s every week and then have a meeting about when the next meeting is.
The main problem remains not solved: https://github.com/semver/semver/issues/771
We've tried our best to match python as well as we can, or falling back to matlab-style if Python doesn't have it. Many of our unit tests are verified against python, so the conversion is typically very easy. The one thing that python has that makes this much easier is keyword arguments. We've tried to use overloads to mimic this as best as we could.

That being said, in the example on the home page there are notable differences:

1) we have the run() method. The reason is that the expression before the run is lazily evaluated for performance and does not execute anything. Having the run() method allows you to run the same line of code on either a CPU or GPU by changing the argument to run()

2) in MatX memory allocation is explicit. Python does it as-needed, but this causes a performance penalty with allocations and deallocations that are not under your control. Specifically in the FFT example, numPy will allocate an ndarray prior to calling it, but on the same line. In MatX the allocation is (typically) done before the operation so you can control the performance of the hot path of code.

If you have any specific suggestions, we would love to hear it
Metaflow integrates with AWS Batch which many folks use for serious HPC. Internode scheduling happens through the multinode scheduling supported by AWS Batch. networking via EFA etc.

We'll blog more about this soon but you can certainly give it a try today! https://github.com/outerbounds/metaflow-ray
John Carmack is one of the of the people responsible for AI.

Until GPU's became powerful enough, there really wasn't a way to do neural networks at scale, which was one of the reason it stagnated in the 80's.

One of the main reasons, GPU got powerful is because of pc gaming.

One of the main drivers of PC gaming was John Carmack and id.
This view is hilarious. That you think you can sit around and produce nothing while everyone else around you produces everything you need. Or that everyone can stop what they're doing and still provide you with that. You're just lazy with dreams of contributing nothing and thats not admirable. Until the day where robots are literally walking around wiping our ass, people need to do things.
I find it somewhat depressing how there are already two starkly divided camps on the safety subject.

It's like the culture wars again; there also seems quite a consistent mapping with the left being more on the safety/control side; the right reckoning it will all sort itself out if we let the market get on with it, contemptuous dismissals marking lines in the sand.

And it's only really just started. :(
If it is true that retribution does not have deterrence value, and anything we do along that line will just make the criminal more sullen and likely to reoffend in the future, why not just toss the key and be done with it? Life sentences for everyone. Recidivism rate 0%.
Yeah, unfortunately nothing has displaced it yet.

I think/hope whatever does will not merely be a clone, like Threads.

No, the reasoning was abundantly clear: The war on drugs (especially crack) was to target minority populations that didn't support the administration.

They imprisoned ~2% of their adult population to get the gangs, effectively based purely on perceived membership.

It would be equivalent to increasing US prison population ~4x. [1]

It’s not really a serious argument in the American context

The work week hasn't shrunk at all, and many goods and services are cheaper but housing isn't and many people live paycheck to paycheck.

I have my reservations that THIS revolution will be the one that solves our problems. A jump in technology is simply a way for those with the means to get more out of those without. AI isn't an equalizer, compute seems like it'll be the new valuable resource and you can buy that with cash.
The US would be included in that category. The problem is that NSF fees are legal, and when you're close to the edge of your money, the payroll company having a problem and taking an extra day to deposit your paycheck, or two extra weeks at the start of a new job, means that the bank account gets hit with several NSF fees that you can't ever pay back, so you just have to let the account get closed for being overdrawn.
I don't care but you can bring that up to the nimbys who do.
Were the baskets woven underwater ?
You can fantasise about it, sure. Knowing how things work helps with that. Thanks to knowing thins, you can even calculate how it would work, write science fiction about it but if the contemporary mentality was in charge during the nuclear age a category of fiction wouldn't exists or would suck badly.
Hoppscotch - https://hoppscotch.io has been a good alternative for my use cases.
my guy what exactly are you expecting here? this is free as in beer code (apache license). no one is forcing you to use this and no one is asking anything of you for using it. i fully support people releasing their code (that took enormous amounts of blood sweat tears to get working) absolutely however they want to. if i'm interestd enough i'll figure it out and thank them.

so as i see it you have like three options if you are unhappy with that:

1. close the tab

2. dig into the impl and learn as you go

3. do 2 but also write docs

i just really believe i've covered literally all the cases that any reasonable (not whiney, not entitled) person would concede.

> the first issue in the repo is a "Request for a more verbose README", which I agree with.

posted today - do you think it might have something to do with this post we find ourselves convening on? i.e. no one was so bothered about a lack of docs until now?

edit:

i forgot actually something else you could do: email the author and ask nicely for some tips.
I am still amazed by seeing Fractals rendered in real time. My Core 2 Duo can do the initial renders at about 1080p resolution in about a second or two. Something that would have taken hours to do on an Amiga in the 80's IF you even had the memory for that kind of storage.
Wow that's fascinating! Please make sure to back up the tapes before they degrade!
I'm guessing here, and the wanton corporate expenses for the benefit of corporate employees and officers were a big problem, but for the main problem I feel that from their point of view they convinced themselves they were not stealing and embezzling. They had Alameda "invest" with the consumer's money, but they could sincerely thought they were winners, and that the clients would get their money. It's not like with some other cryptocurrency scams where they grabbed the loot and ran. Like seriously, if SBF was thinking of robbing the thing wholesale why didn't he have an escape plan? Where is Ruja Ignatova?

The irony? The more impoverished people we incarcerate, the more the social fabric is stretched and torn. That is, the more poverty persists.

> I wonder how the thermals are with the 7940HS and RTX 4060 inside a 14" chassis? It must be getting hot under load/throttle down after a while?

Quite good. Asus uses liquid metal TIM and packs a comically dense heatsink into the 14" chassis.

SODIMMs have the caveat of being slow and power inefficient (They need 1.35V where desktop ddr5 runs at 1.1V) due to signaling limitations. A new format aims to address this:

I remember being quite excited to get the little bit of software (they were called INITs, little code resources loaded at boot) that was floating around to add this typewriter “experience” to the original Macintosh. For whatever reason, it tickled me to no end. It also took a couple weeks to get it coordinating with the User Group meeting and what not.

To say the least, I was a bit giddy when I finally got it and got to make ticky ticky clakity clack typewriter sounds.

Two days later I took the machine in to get the 800k(!!) drive upgrade, which required a new set of ROMs.

And, that was that. The INIT didn’t work with the new ROMs.

An example of the boom/bust cycle of early computing.
When shareholders can trade in nanoseconds to exploit random anomalies in stock prices it's harder to imagine them deeply caring about their investments in the long term. Because CEOs don't have the option to jump ship at nearing the speed of light, it's reasonable to conclude that they might just care a bit more.
Looks and feels great. I’m based in Australia but checked it out anyways and I can tell you’ve put some great effort into this app. I’ve started with Flutter in 2018 and have done Flutter full time in 2 different startups for a few years. So I know my way around it, and this app looks and feels great to me.

It carries attention to details. For example the (hero?) transition from tapping on the searchbar to the searchbaroverlay is nice.

The SelectableText widgets in the Requirements section is a nice touch too. Can’t select the titles such as “Must” or “Nice to have:” but I guess that the content is what matters, which you made selectable.

Dropdowns look nice. Overall just positive in general, especially for someone that has been doing this on the side with no prior experience.

I’d recommend to look into Riverpod for state management instead of Provider, its from the same guy named Remi (author). Especially when you get the hang of the optional riverpod_generator companion plugin (again, same author). It’s basically a Provider 2.0 but due to many differences and breaking changes, he decided to go for a new name.

Some nitpicks:
- Twitter logo and name is outdated (X now)
- Typo in appbar title when in the Salary stats page, it should be “Salary Statistics”
- Salary stats doesnt seem to want to load. Perhaps add a hardcoded timer e.g. display something like “This is taking longer than usual, please come back later.” after a min or so. (Edit: nvm, it loaded)
- When tapping on any pages from the sidebar, the only one being “remembered” is the community one. That one gets highlighted in blue but it’s still blue after I visit other pages such as “Send feedback”

Anyways, great job. Keep at it.

Re: BLAKE2, I'm not sure it's fair to say that BLAKE2 is more widely used overall. But I do agree BLAKE2 is a bit of an outlier in terms of adoption. I think part of the reason is that SHA2 remains the go-to option, else I'd expect the ecosystem to consolidate around SHA3.

Re: Serpent, there are many things to unpack here but, in summary, you don't know a priori how large of a security margin you need (given the primary function of a cipher, you want to pick the conservative option), efficiency concerns become much less relevant with hardware-accelerated implementations and years of Moore's law performance uplifts, low-power devices can take advantage of much lighter algorithms than Rijndael OR Serpent, ease of implementation does not equal ease of correct/secure implementation vis-a-vis side channel attacks, and certainly if Serpent was chosen you wouldn't see Rijndael talked about much.
You make a fair point, but there's a tradeoff here. Yes, the scenario you describe bodes poorly for the threads; but it also bodes poorly if we allow Who Is Hiring to turn into a firing range where job posters get excoriated because someone had a bad experience—with no way of knowing how valid their story actually is.

As you know, the way internet dynamics work is that as soon as a thing (in this case $CompanyName) is mentioned, everyone with a grievance in the associated hash bucket will show up to complain about it. What they say may or may not be relevant or true or helpful. This can't be properly assessed in the context of a job ad, and it's not fair to make the job poster, who may just be a regular HN user without the slightest idea of what happened, pay for it. Even if they do know, they're typically in no position to air the other side of the story.

If the see-saw tips and the problem you describe becomes more pressing, we can switch to the opposite tradeoff. But I would need a reason to believe that's happening.

Hi! I’m a recent graduate from Georgia Tech with an M.S. in Computer Science with a specialization in machine learning. I have industry and research experience which include areas such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Recommender Systems, and Reinforcement Learning. In addition, I have experience with databases and distributed computing.

I’m looking to join a company where I can work on something exciting and expand my skills as much as possible. Reach out to my email if you think I could be a good fit!
"Bluetooth" seems to be the reporter's misnomer for unspecified RF, possibly LoRa, NFC, WiFi, or actual BT. And, more confusingly, they don't actually report if it's a pump implant with RF capabilities or there's a wireless vulnerability in the pump. Most of the time, the pumps are modified in some subtle way. I would suspect a wireless implant. Gas station owners need to apply security seals to their pump's electronic doors and check for sabotage regularly (skimmers, holes, and other damage).
It's an interesting thought, but then you would need those cryptographers to not only stay quiet about it, but also spend a good chunk of the next part of their lives selling the lie.

Secrets are hard to keep at scale. Trying to do it with coercion, to a group of people who's entire field of study is covert communication, seems like an unenviable prospect.
Also no evidence of impact on property values:

Outside of dependencies, application code is basically

How many application APIs expose v2, v3, v4? You just append to v1 and add proxies to map old APIs to new ones.
Related note: Government employees (including military, intel) are just people, and worse, bureaucrats. They aren't magical wizards who can all do amazing things with mathematics and witchcraft. If they were good at what they do, they wouldn't need ever increasing funding and projects to fix things.
Yes. I'm in favor of comparing blue collar crime in units of white collar crime so that punishments are proportionate.

Yes, that's also bad, obviously. If there's only a choice between dying and wasting years, wasting years is obviously better to most people.
The only way I have ever really learned how to do something is to scratch and claw my way through it, making a million mistakes, and eventually having it crystalize into clarity. That has never really happened by just having something done for me.
No, true, the post did not explicitly state this. However the post did suggest that NIST is specifically out to get him and take a swipe at the other candidates:

> Is NIST trying to derail his work by standardizing crappy algorithms with the help of the NSA? Who knows. But to me it does smell like that.

"Crappy" algorithms that were designed by well-regarded cryptographers, none of whom work for NIST or the NSA, many of whom are not US nationals.
My 2 cents is to use Tailwind for CSS and something like React for behavior and UI. Those are two very well documented, popular tools that will be very productive for you once they click. Get the Tailwind plugin for your editor. Oh, and use Typescript.

As for flex and CSS layouts, it can be a pain, but will click eventually.
Are you sure it's the correct CVE?

That one is fixed in Debian stable (and probably others):

With google advertisements mean that your competitors page doesn't appear above your search listing. It means that if you sell something you more or less have to buy ads for your own name, or else people searching explicitly for you will be led to your competitors products.

It's sort of like a race to the bottom.

With facebook I understand that if you want to actually get a message out to people who've explicitly subscribed to your content you need to pay them. Same sort of thing. Sure, it's an "ad", but not in the same sense as like a billboard or a TV spot. It's actually game-theoretic coercion.

It's a fair question. If you're using a zipfile you can random-access the individual files in the zip easily enough. The node_modules folder is famously heavy with thousands of tiny files, so there's likely to be performance wins to be had. Old, less fashionable programming languages, like Java, of course already do all this with .jar files.
The main difference appears to be about deprecation.

The article uses the terms "brand" and "prestige" in a way that I personally found confusing. To me a brand is an identity, and prestige is whether that brand/identity is seen in a positive way. But here's how the article defines them:

> Brand as a deliberately crafted, sustained narrative that is actively known about you. You don’t have to research Google engineering to have an opinion about Google engineering. In your career and as an engineering leader, you will likely be given the advice that it’s very important to build a brand.

> Prestige is the passive-awareness counterpart to brand. Rather than being what someone actively knows about you, it’s what someone can easily discover about you if they look for it. Many interviewers won’t know anything about me, but a few minutes of research will find my writing, conference talks, and work history.

This is more about whether whether one has built an identity that is "actively" or just "passively" known, and they're arguing that being passively known is just as good as actively known. Which I tend to agree with, not everyone can be a household name, nor needs to be. And it's overkill to market yourself to an extent that everyone actively knows who you are, even as an executive.

But it's a weird way to define the terms.
That sucks. There is mandatory restitution in some states now. It should be required to come from the budgets of prosecution DA offices in order to prevent the gamification of over-conviction for reelection stats. States in the South, especially Louisiana, are notorious for their punitive criminal justice systems.
> Up scaling the image in chunk creates loads of semantic issues.

No, tiled upscaling generally does not have that problem significantly (compared to direct generation at native model-supported size, which doesn't completely avoid that kind of issue), since the composition on that level is set before the upscale (direct tiled generation does, if you aren’t using something like controlnet to avoid it.)

> You don’t see problems like these in non scaled images.

You actually occasionally do, but its fairly rare.
