The best design we know is how God made humans. Our brains have specialized parts that work together with analog components. We’re raised on knowledge of increasing complexity as humans, given general-purpose heuristics, and then we specialize. From there, small teams of specialists interacting typically do the best jobs. So, I’d try to do stuff like that first since it’s proven in the only general intelligence that exists.

If I do experiments, I’m making models specialized from foundational to programming to specific language to specific tasks. Each pass will have training data so it picks up general concepts. Then, it will be trained to focus more on what it needs. Eventually, what’s slushing around in its neurons should be just the right information. Or it won’t work.

Anyway, my concepts that I published are at this link:

> Why would you test them near where someone lives?

Because they're Australians, Pacfic Islanders, gamblers that already visit Las Vegas, etc.

We already have the answer to "why test near where people live" from the 2000+ tests already taken place at Yucca Flat (fallout on Vegas & elsewhere), Emu Fields (Adelaide and a future British PM dusted with fallout), Castle Bravo (shat on people's lovely island home and created Gojira (allegedly)), etc.

With eight billion+ on the planet it's hard to test anywhere without affecting someone - hence the move away from above ground to below ground (Atmospheric testing was banned by the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty) and a later move to simulations only by the US (although not India, Pakistan, North Korea, etc).

IMO, LLVM is more successful than JVM in this metric. JVM has definitely had some powerhouses, but it's inherent limitations has meant that it is only able to produce languages that have many of the same limitations as Java. Since LLVM generates machine code, the limitations of LLVM compiled languages end up being a lot closer to the limitations of modern processors.
This actually corresponds to another thing I've only recently admitted to myself, namely that I put a lot more pressure on my job for meaning and satisfaction because I'm compensating for perceived deficits in other areas of my life, like not having a spouse or children, even though those are important to me (not just a societal pressure).

I do have friends and activities that are important to me, but nothing within an order of magnitude the time devoted to my job.

If I had another important full-time role that applied whether or not I was working, I think I would have an easier time seeing my job as a means to that end, and I have a lot of respect for people whose lives are ordered that way.
I've been using computers since I was a pre-teen, it wrecked both my forearms (and later, my neck) in my early 30's. There was NO WARNING, the issues just happened out of nowhere. I always thought RSI, if it happened to me, would happen gradually and I'd know to stop/rest. The neck stuff has taken a decade to heal and it's still not back to normal.

The few times I've felt motivated to write down my thoughts were during periods of high personal stress and once they were on paper I put the notebook on a shelf. It sat for a while, and one day when I thought about it I tore up the pages and threw them away. They weren't anything I needed anymore, and I certainly didn't want anyone else to come across them.
Nice! I considered building a hosting service on Knative back in 2019. Happy to see it actually worked out for you.
Good write-up. Interesting to me that the author doesn't recommend minifying and packing the code as a solution though; even if you get rid of barrel files, not every imported symbol is always used and a pack-and-minify will leave unused code behind.
Only of a pre-funded wallet. It's still different from a credit card. With a credit card, someone else fronts the money and bills me later. Any system that tried to do this on crypto would just be a glorified way of "being a credit card that accepted ETH (or whatever else) for payment."
Because that was the last meeting they could have before Colossus required Forbin to be under 24/7 surveillance.

I think it makes perfect sense. How else could he send/get information unless he had a plan to convince Colossus to not observe him.

My big issue with this whole thing is that they actually believed Colossus wouldn't listen in because it said so.

im a little older than the author. I also play a musical instrument that I guess you would say is physically demanding, and I have a hobby that is sort of hard on the hands. On the forums I inevitably follow about those activities, there is a sort of background of paranoia about how if you don't do everything perfectly all the time, your hands will be ruined, you will never have seen it coming, and you should base all your decision-making regarding practice time around avoiding catastrophic injury.

I'm sure there are some other people who share my interests who have been the victims of misfortune when it comes to RSI injuries, but I think for the bulk of us who do anything repetitive, it's not incredibly difficult to avoid these issues if you just pay attention to what you feel.

For example, on Friday I noticed that, after pretty much a solid week of intense editing of code (I wrote a large thing and then realized I had gotten it all wrong and needed to move a lot of stuff into different files), I kept noticing that my elbows were killing me because they were grinding into the armrests of my chair. It didn't dawn on me until the end of the week that the reason I don't usually have that elbow discomfort is that years ago I took the armrests off my chair, or as the case with my current chair, I folded them backward and out of the way. I had put them down to clean them or something and forgot about it.

If I mind myself, I'll notice the stuff that makes me uncomfortable. If I try doing whatever that is less and I feel better, then I've learned something. If I stop doing the thing that I've learned makes me uncomfortable, that's great. If I did it too long and I need to visit a doctor or a therapist to help me undo the damage, that's great too.

So long story short, pay attention to how you feel, recognize that however you feel is probably a result of the choices you've made, intentionally or not, and treat your body as a machine that needs maintenance and either find a good technician or learn to do it yourself when it makes sense.
Yes, it's a totally different category from SRBMs - so maybe the US's ability to deliver tactical nuclear weapons more than 10-100km into highly contested airspace is poorer, but given your original scenario (battlefield use and tit for tat vs Russia), I don't see this being a significant limitation?

As it stands today, I have no reason to believe that American aircraft (F-35 and B-2 both carry B-61) cannot conduct operations over the forward areas of Russian ground forces.

Ukraine has been able to use GMLRS and, launch cruise missile strikes into Russian held territory success. Ukraine believes that ATACMS will be viable. I don't believe the current evidence indicates that Russian IADS are capable of sufficiently deflecting/deterring an American air strike.
I'd argue not just clarity, but correctness wrt. order of operations.
Such an ability would be totally classified, its just an observation that measuring ability is increasing. Atomic clocks, etc.
Not really. There are not degrees of journalism. You can't be failing and then set the narrative as "Well look, they're failing worse than we are..." That's not the way it works. That's not okay. That's not a system worthy of trust.

Democracy depends on a healthy and proper Fourth Estate. We don't have that. Full stop. Even if you believe CNN and MSNBC are better than Fox, the former are still failing to fulfill the responsibilities of The Fourth Estate. Worse is the fact that they're ignorant of their obvious shortcomings. And yet they shamelessly spin a narrative that pretends otherwise.

Flip it anyway you want but it's an industry fueled by Dunning Kruger.

Housing costs are just a symptom of high cost of living.

High income taxes. Fees and taxes on everything. Burdensome regulations for everything. Oppressive cult environment. No political power or will to change. Highly litigious environment.

> "The study was posted online last week. It has not been reviewed for publication in a scientific journal"

> Not only that, but those who took a painkiller seemed to have more antibodies than those who tolerated the symptoms without medication. The most likely explanation for that is not that the painkillers increase antibody levels, Dr. Bhattacharya said.
“It’s more that people who have symptoms tend to have a slightly greater antibody response than those who don’t, and of course the people who have symptoms are more likely to take painkillers,” he said.

No actually scientific proof. Simply subjective option.

While game theory is useful when developing nuclear strategy I don't think anyone takes MAD seriously: It isn't subgame perfect. Once the rockets are up, retaliation is no longer credible... because the purpose of the threat of retaliation is to discourage an attack in the first place.

I work in games and that already risky to begin with. Finding a small game studio that can pay decently is pretty much like finding a needle in a hay stack.

The smallest studio I worked at was still 100+ people, and grew to 200+ by the time I left.
Really cool thanks
This might be particular to the age of the OP. I just turned 47, so I'm one year older than him.

In 1981 (so when I was 5) my parents bought me a Sinclair ZX81. It came with literally nothing except a BASIC interpreter in ROM and a manual. The manual explained how to program in BASIC and had a bunch of listings that you could type in for rudimentary games etc.
So when we got our computers at that era all we could do is "program". Was it hardcore software engineering? No. Did we understand it at that age at any meaningful level? No. But it was programming, of a sort.

In the next few years I experimented more and more until I started to grasp higher level concepts.

My point is there was a particular window in time that met these criteria:

- affordable personal computer.

- no (or very few) games available, you had no choice but to write programs.

This was around 1980-1983. Before 1980 most people didn't have access to personal computers. After 1983 you could get computers that could easily read games from tapes or floppies.

So I guess there were a bunch of 5 year olds in that era who were almost forced to program.
That comes after this:

> OpenIPC Firmware uses Buildroot to build its Linux distro, and utilizes either Majestic, Mini or Venc streamer.

Which makes it sound like Majestic isn't required? Or is it the only good option, or something?
Glad you enjoyed it!

It was in step #1. Most knative tutorials we found have you set up istio, which was the one setting the headers. There was separate work to rip out istio (which did not scale well either) that we didn't include in the post.

So istio used to sit between our proxy and knative's proxy. In order to figure out what headers it was setting, we ran a caddy container as a sidecar to the activator, and had it output the request metadata. We then read the code to confirm

It should depend on the type of study. It makes sense to collectively invest in productive education of the younglings, it makes sense to have lones for things less certain and it makes sense to not fund things with poor roi.

Could also have a feedback loop so that educators get rewarded/punished for the success of their students (relative to the cost). If someone offers expensive education without career opportunities it seems fair to tax the shit out of it. It makes it more exclusive.
What is the point of being horrified for your children? It will not make them stronger or more successful in an uncertain future.

While I share some of the same frustrations as the author, I have a really hard time getting on board with the tone of most of these kinds of posts. It seems like they've gotten so far into frustration with work that it's crazy to me they wouldn't make a change. Personally if I were feeling even 50% or 25% as frustrated, I'd seek to quit, or at least a leave of absence or another role in the company.

If you are making an app, have you simply considered Apple and Google's in-app purchases for these transactions? You can totally just charge $1. Apple and Google will then take exactly 30% (which is 30 cents). There are programs where you can reduce that to 15%.

I am reminded of this article several years ago remarking on Intel's CPU bugs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16058920

Perhaps AMD has also gone down the same path. It's unfortunate that the hardware industry has also formalised planned obsolescence ("end of life" and similar phrasings) which drastically decreases the motivation to achieve perfection, as they can then defer "fixing" anything to "buy the new model" (complete with its own, unknown, new set of bugs...)
Lack of accessible healthcare and medical bankruptcy as one of the primary drivers of financial failure and old age poverty is not life choices.

Gun death as a leading cause of youth deaths is not life choices.

PFAS exposure is not life choices.

A medical system that allows advertisement and more or less open bribery leading to an opioid crisis that’s killing enough people to bring down life expectancy across the midwest is not life choices.

Ineffective pandemic management by the government is not a life choice.

Obesity is a boogeyman, but it has been around for long enough that the recent significant drops in life expectancy cannot be blamed on it. And even obesity is likely not a pure life choice, food quality and regulation of food supply play a vital role.

I always found it amusing that we pump estrogen / hormone affecting chemicals into things and then give people a hard time if they have gender identity challenges and call it a life choice despite all the science to the contrary.

Life choices are a catch all diversion, a fairy tale people tell themselves to feel like they have power to avoid the horror.
They don't have the technology or the expertise to produce high quality, high performance chips.

It's a moot point whether or not they have access to the specs, and the only reason to think otherwise is buying into chinese propaganda.

A Journey of Creation and Innovation: An Invitation to Explore Uncommon Paths
Hello HN Community,

I am Kevin Sims, a software engineer with a fervor for innovation and creating meaningful products. My life’s narrative, albeit far from conventional, is a story of overcoming adversities and channeling a creative spirit into the realm of software engineering. The path that led me here has been anything but traditional, yet it's shaped a resilient, inventive, and collaborative engineer eager to contribute to projects that move humanity forward.

Growing up amidst hardships between Dallas, Texas, and Pensacola, Florida, my early years were less about academic pursuits and more about survival and self-expression. From running lemonade stands to launching clothing brands, the drive to create was a dominant force in my life. The turning point came post-high school when my uncle-in-law, Scott Moss, successfully raised VC funds for his venture, tipe.io, a headless CMS platform. Witnessing a black man achieve something I thought was beyond reach ignited a spark within me to explore the boundless possibilities in technology.

I journeyed to California, enrolled in Lambda School, and dedicated 15 months to honing my coding skills. The sense of accomplishment I felt upon completing projects was nothing short of euphoric. It wasn't merely about writing code, but about molding ideas into tangible solutions that could potentially touch lives.

With a product-centric approach, I embarked on a career that took me from San Francisco to New York City, contributing to various innovative projects. Among these, my work at Creature World stands out, where I led the development and deployment of a claim site for NFTs, managing transactions over $100 million securely. My portfolio (https://portfolio-kev-sable.vercel.app/) and GitHub (https://github.com/PhatStraw) detail my journey and skills in Python, JavaScript, SQL, React, and more.

The blockchain and B2C sectors excite me the most, however, I'm open to opportunities where I can work with teams sharing a relentless passion for innovation. I'm driven by the idea of developing products that resonate with users and have a positive impact on the world.

The road to employment isn’t without its bumps, especially with a non-traditional background. The responses have been scarce, and the technical interviews often feel detached from the real-world tasks at hand. Yet, I believe in the diverse perspectives and unique problem-solving approaches that individuals like myself can bring to the table.

I extend an invitation to anyone interested in exploring the potential of a creative mind molded by an unconventional journey. I am more than ready to dive head-first into challenges, contribute to your team, and together create products that matter.

Feel free to reach out at kevindsimsjr@gmail.com or through LinkedIn. I'm open to discussing projects, sharing experiences, or even just a friendly chat about the endless possibilities in the tech realm.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Looking forward to the connections and opportunities that may arise from this wonderful community.

Warm regards,

Kevin Sims
Deterrant?, I honestly do not fear Russia, NK or any other nation but the U.S in starting a nuclear war, why? for the simple fact that some idiot think tank somewhere has convinced themselves that such a war in winnable.
Dear Vim beginner, before getting a fancy keyboard, do remap Esc to some other key.

It makes no sense to have your most important key where it is nowadays.

The reason the back to normal mode key is ESC is because that key used to be much closer from the home row.

My personal preference is to use Caps Lock because each OS has an easy solution for this simple remap and since it's system wide you can use vim modes elsewhere too (zsh and gdb for me mostly). Also in general it's quite convenient to have escape so close.

Do what you will but please don't suffer uselessly for stupid historical reasons.
Faster please
I have often wondered if you could chop a nickle-iron asteroid into 1 meter cubes whether you could construct a space-station Minecraft style. I would probably have some tapered+oxidized surfaces so you could align things nicely before the fusing happens, but it sounds like a fun way to make huge structures.

Chopping up the asteroid left as an exercise for the reader.
I do blame Google, almost entirely. But it's not just about readers, it's also about the content (publishers).

Google Reader's death certainly was the beginning of the end, and it sent shockwaves throughout.

Platforms like WordPress kept RSS alive, but then you have major publications that redesign and entirely leave out RSS.

Without mainstream reader adoption you have less and less mainstream publishers

Oops, I used Fargate Spot pricing on us-west-2. Thanks for the correction.
I did that too. I thought it was common. I learned programming by reading my older sister's Computer Science manual from high school in preparation for me starting high school (2004, Romania).

All school work was on paper so it was a necessity.

But it was fun too. In pointless classes like French, there was nothing better to do. It was worthwhile to work on my personal programs on paper and type them out when I got home.

You had to think about the approach before starting to write it down. I would leave a lot of vertical space in case I needed to put something above. In some cases I would write the code afterwards, draw a rectangle around it, and point to where it needed to move. It was a bit messy sometimes.
I sell a few of these species and it's good to know those tech salaries are going to good use :)
