ECC RAM uses 1/8th more memory chips, so as a rule of thumb it costs 1/8th more.

They can have very different dynamics on the used market though, because servers tend to be upgraded to larger modules over time, but there aren't many buyers for smaller modules. Not a big factor for DDR5 because it's too new, but for DDR4 you can get some great deals for 8GB and 16GB modules.
that's basically a poodle!
At this point you can just play odds and evens: one person picks odd, the other picks even, they both hold up either one or two fingers behind their back, reveal them at the same time, then sum the result. This prevents the randomness from being in any one actor's control. If you're worried that your brain's RNG can be gamed, then put an odd-denominated coin in one hand and an even-denominated coin in another, and mix them up so that even you don't know which hand has which.
>Open-source does not and will never scale, because software is orders of magnitude too complex

But there are examples of long-time open source projects all over the place. This sounds like an argument for open source.

If you work for a for-profit company you face two different problems: overnight the company can disappear, and the IP is lost/locked forever; problems are only ever fixed if there's a profit incentive. That works, a lot, but it's not perfect either.

Of course that is true, if you wait not significantly long enough.

Imagine the situation that you flip the coin (starting at H) and you grab it in air immediately. Of course, you will get H as result.

But let's say, the time to stop the coin can be a relatively long time T.
Then, I think the probability is some kind of sum. Let's choose \Delta T= 10ms as time discretization:

P(H) = 1 / T * (10ms-0ms) + (30ms-20ms) + (50ms-40ms) + ... = 1/T \sum_{i=0}{floor(T / (2 * \Delta T))} \Delta T

P(T) = 1 / T ((20ms-10ms) + (40ms-30ms) + (60ms-50ms) + ... = 1/T \sum_{i=0}{floor(T / (2 * \Delta T)) - 1} \Delta T

For T -> \infty P(H) and P(T) getting more similar.

But, in practice you wouldn't wait equally distributed in time but more like a Gaussian distributed time period. Hence, each term of the sum would get weighted differently.
And the variance and the offset of the Gaussian distribution can shift the probability in favor of H or T. It's really dependent of the concrete parameters. If you grab always after 35ms, then you'll always get T for example.

It's still early in this news event, so they could improve. But my guess is they can no longer do anything about it - they've lost the teams and technology that can flag false posts early and the network of users responsible, so rely solely on other twitter users.

Unfortunately, tinnitus comes in many shapes and forms.

Acquired a tinnitus during my time working in an open-office spanning three floors with a waterfall in the center of it. So, I was quite motivated to look into the details. Oddly enough, while working for a leading hearing aid provider... for many it's a clicking, buzzing, hissing, or roaring. Not only a ringing at a specific set of frequencies.

To add to the solution provided above, listening to brown noise or drone helps me with a 'hissing' tinnitus.

Aave cannot fake its risk parameters because it's fully on chain and anyone can check them.

Crypto scams are always off chain (like FTX and many more) or have smart contracts that can be upgraded by anyone (but again, anyone can check that the contracts can be upgrade and by whom).
As the maintainer of Wayfire, I would like to say why I don't consider this a critical issue: the current system allows you to bind actions to a particular physical key. So, no matter what physical keyboard layout and actual layout in software, with the current system, you can bind the action to the desired physical key. Or do people actually want their keybindings to change when they change their layouts?

I’m using Prisma and PlanetScale and while I’ve been happy with PS, Prisma hasn’t been the best to work with. Especially in a serverless environment the engine size is painful. I’m able to work around it and I have a good amount of headroom still but I’d rather have that space back. For anything other than basic CRUD on a single entity or a few easy relationships I feel the need to write raw SQL. The DSL for Prisma’s ORM (schema is fine) is annoying and I feel like I’m fighting with it more often than not. Even once I have it working I’m not confident that it’s efficient at all, it worries me that the code “looks” simple (again it’s not easy to write in the first place) but isn’t.

I started with Aurora and DataApi and switched to Prisma and PlanetScale. I have every intention of staying with PlanetScale but I’ve considered rewriting my codebase to not use Prisma. All the raw queries would be easy enough and I think I’d be happier with a type safe query _builder_ instead of a full ORM but I could be wrong. I’m almost glad Prisma’s aggregate helpers are such trash since it made me just write my own queries instead of standing on my head to make Prisma’s work.

One thing I won’t miss is scouring my codebase for .prisma folders that might contain an outdated schema file that the engine is somehow picking up. I even have an npm script that I run to find and delete all but the main one I know is supposed to be there.
I'd argue @ is more suitable for a dereference operation than an "address of" one. It functions that way in an email address too.
I'm not sure the percentage of the market owned that is needed to influence the total market. I'm sure different markets have different thresholds.

I think you are thinking that all renters are 'actors', so there is to many individual choices, thus this can't happen.

But, here the actors are the rental property owners. That is a much smaller number. IF you only have a few property owners, and they all use software telling them to increase prices, then the total market goes up, and individual renters do not have any options to go anywhere else, so must pay.

It really is the same problem as with collusion, or price setting, it is just here, what is happening is 'the colluders' all happened to be using the same software. They aren't coordinating, they are coincidentally all being pushed in same direction by a single software company.

RealPage became the nation’s dominant provider of such rent-setting software after federal regulators approved a controversial merger in 2017, a ProPublica investigation found, greatly expanding the company’s influence over apartment prices. The move helped the Texas-based company push the client base for its array of real estate tech services past 31,700 customers.

The impact is stark in some markets.

In one neighborhood in Seattle, ProPublica found, 70% of apartments were overseen by just 10 property managers, every single one of which used pricing software sold by RealPage."
I know they made some funky decision in recent history. What are the points that you dislike about them? Curious as someone who is always on the fence about their products but still use them.
They could be held partially responsible as they could have their fund LPs sue them for negligence, especially if they had any materials detailing that they did diligence.

They won’t be though, because everyone would be afraid for future repercussions. That said, they’re on a list of VC firms I would hesitate to take calls from going forward.

ok but if the coin tends to land as starting then

1. starting from heads

2. flip heads

3. flip heads

4. starting from heads

5. flip heads

6. flip tails

take 5 = heads?

heads should still be more likely to occur than tails under this scenario, although, Zeno-like, with decreasing likelihood approaching zero over time?

on edit: of course Von Neumann's process has more restrictions, leading closer to fairness.
I've used Wayfire everyday for a few years now. Although I'm into customisation and tinkering, (so things like Arch, Neovim, and indeed Wayfire, are to my taste), I don't like tiling window managers. I find it's like turning my living room into a workshop. A living space should have sunlight, plants and a sofa to welcome friends. In my opinion wobbly windows and other silly animations are nearer to that kind of organic aesthetic.

Wayfire is a living space I can tinker with.

It strikes me that this Penny Arcade cartoon is more prescient that I originally gave it credit for: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2023/09/18/undercraw

On the surface the cartoon is silly and extreme but speaks a deeper truth. Consider that SilverLake is the entity that has proven itself to care only about extracting profit and nothing about games as cultural expression of the community and welfare of those who make them. Riccitiello was incompetent in how he made the exploitation of game developers obvious but given Unity's funding structure they will keep doing the same. Maybe now they're scared that they are losing a valuable resource of developer trust, but they consider it only as far as it is a resource for profit extraction.

This is another example enshittification that Doctorow is popularizing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rimtaSgGz_4) and is so well illustrated in the cartoon above.

This is a very California/metropolitan-centric view.

Where I live, permits are "required" but very nearly unenforced. But it's still hard to get anything built because labour and materials.

If the "political" taps were opened tomorrow, this would be revealed in no time. It's not like we have thousands of construction workers sitting around doing nothing.

That should not be patentable.
This may be applicable for desktops, but not for servers.

In a low-memory situation, the admin wants to ssh into the server and fix the problem that led into memory exhaustion in the first place. Whoops, MGLRU freezes the active file cache only, which includes the memory hog, but does not include sshd, bash, PAM, and other files that are normally unused when nobody is logged in, but become essential during an admin intervention. So, de facto, the admin still cannot login, and the server is effectively inaccessible. The only difference is that the production application is still responding, which is not so helpful for restarting it.

I think some amount of that is necessary, though no? We have people claiming that this generation of AI will replace jobs - and plenty of companies have taken the bait and tried to get started with LLM-based bots. We even had a pretty high-profile case of a Google AI engineer going public with claims that their LaMDA AI was sentient. Regardless of what you think of that individual or Google's AI efforts, this resonates with the public. Additionally a pretty common sentiment I've seen has been non-tech people suggesting AI should handle content moderation - the idea being that since they're not human and don't have "feelings" they won't have biases and won't attempt to "silence" any one political group (without realising that bias can be built in via the training data).

It seems pretty important to counter that and to debunk any wild claims such as these. To provide context and to educate the world on their shortcomings.

For what it's worth, when I moved to NYC I was surprised that there were so many parks. I haven't looked into the history in order to confirm this, but it looks to me like as rectangular buildings were constructed on pieces of land the extra "corners" got turned into parks; resulting in tiny triangular parks all over the place.
Ask HN: How do I restart my career
Hi. My last contract have ended in January, for various reasons, but burnout was a contributing factor. Since then I've been passively replying to Linkedin offers, but it looks like this won't land me any job. I'd like to be more active, but I have no idea what approach could help me land a good job.

My main language is Haskell, and i know a bit of C/C++

Any advice?
Semiconductor in general is going bust, too much supply. All semiconductors companies invested more because of Covid (and the sudden huge demand).

Only CUDA/Nvidia managed to build something profitable with it, a competitive advantage that could also go down the drain once more investment is put into CUDA alternatives.

And this is counting on AI hype to continue (likely, but maybe demand for hardware might eventually stabilise).

Even though semiconductors is a highly specialized industry, it's a CAPEX heavy business, you need both fabs and research and you also have too many players in the market.

People talk a lot about TSMC and the bleeding edge business(computers, phones), but that's just one part of it, but there's a whole industry of embarked software that will likely be much bigger.

I don't doubt that the sector will grow(in revenues), but I doubt they'll be able to produce a profit as high as some companies in the tech sector like advertising etc, that are much more asset-light.

I really fail to see what people see even in Nvidia/Cuda, it won't take long until others catch up, and they'll likely move back to margins closer to the industry, which are extremely low. There's even more money to be made in sectors like energy drinks.
> I think what you can reasonably do is to monitor how many employees of a certain race/gender/etc are in a particular job

Obviously we can do that technically but maybe we shouldn't. We did monitor it and that lead to people having some most arcane conclusions they derived from this data.

If you hire 80% for IT tech jobs, you probably just hire the average available on the job market. Some deduced this has to be discrimination and maliciously smeared the whole industry. This should not be repeated.

So no, people maybe should keep their ethnicity private if they don't want it to be abused by busy bodies making everyone's live worse.

It’s not that hard. Europeans act like it’s impossible to calculate taxes in your head.

If the sales tax is 9.25%, round up to 10%, so $1 on every hundred.

I walk into a store and buy something for $7.32. Ok, I know in my head the tax is about $0.70, so cool, it’s be “about” $8.

That’s all I need to know. I don’t carry rolls of Pennie’s around so I’m not worried about the cents. He’ll, when was the last time you paid in cash?

It’s the same with Fahrenheit or miles. It’s a simple calculation, not a massive obstacle that holds Americans back from daily living or technological advances.
You first have to determine if that really is a problem though. And put evidence forth before you start to actively discriminate.
Generqlly the same here, but I have had sticks fail after some time in use. I had to rma the ram in my frame.work laptop after it failed. No reason or clue why but it happened after 6 minths or so. No issues with the rma though and it went fine with no issues since. ecc if it was supported there might have given me a heads up about it and avoided needing me to restore from backups when the fs corrupted.
>In the housing game, you buy land and build a house. Excluding inflation, the value of the land goes up.

North America is filled with property, with or without a house, that is practically worthless. For example, Detroit. "Land goes up" is a narrow perspective outside of major metropolitan centres that happen to be part of the modern economy.
We're using a product from our existing enterprise search vendor, which they pitch an NLP search. Not convinced it's better than the one we already had consider we have to use an intermediate step of having the LLM turn the user's junk input into a keyword search query, but it's definitely more expensive...

It becomes clear why there's a same-side bias when watching the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xNg51mv-fk

These are fairly gentle coin tosses; barely going a foot into the air!

When I think of a coin toss, I think high and spinning fast (like the ones before sports games, where the coin goes into the air and lands on the ground, usually rolls a short way, and is collected on whatever side it landed). I would guess the 50.8% same-side bias would be much closer to 50% if the coins were tossed this way in the experiment.
To be clear, Canada is regulating speech online, not just AI and search. Also by Michael Geist not long ago: https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2023/10/crtcregistrationruling/

Basically a service like Rumble, which is publicly traded and has HQ in Toronto must register with the Canadian government to be allowed to continue existing.

All political podcasts have been ordered to register with the government.

Lets not forget: https://www.international.gc.ca/global-affairs-affaires-mond...

To be a new journalist, you have to be accredited by the government. Naturally the government doesn't accredit their critics and bans them from going to things like the debates.
I don't think that's possible (other than indirectly such as by improving high speed rail so people can benefit from cities without living there). By their nature cities provide greater access to desirable amenities such as art, culture, museums, and niche hobbies.
Why would you test it?

Probability of two heads: p*p

Probability of two tails: (1-p)*(1-p)

Probability of head followed by tails: p*(1-p)

Probability of tails followed by heads: (1-p)*p

It's not difficult to notice that if you remove the first two, the last two form a 50/50 distribution
