Except it's pretty much standard. If there isn't a github link, I'm still going to tailor the programming questions to a context that I infer from the past experience on their resume (as in, they said they did X, so they should know about Y) but with a bit less accuracy.

Most of the interview is getting the candidate to show me that they know _something_ in depth and I'm not super concerned with exactly what it is. (If they've learned something in depth, I expect they can also learn the details of what we do. :) So the exact same questions to every candidate serves no one's interests.
Try changing your dns to 8.8.8.8 or anything else that isn't cloudflare.
It's E-Ink. Look at it wrong and it breaks. I expects activists to conveniently lean against them.
I'd say they're highly intelligent... at manipulating us with wedge issues like immigration, abortion, and guns. A little effort at specializing in wading through feces saves a lot of hard work later by actually solving healthcare, debt, or myriad other things that affect 100x more people.
> This whole meme is bullshit, and comes from a post-apocalyptic novel where it's used as a justification to murder a prisoner of war (in context). Most people don't know its origin though. They just repeat it because it sounds "truthy" if you don't think about it very much.

The meme is at least a few months older than the book, and most likely actually comes from a simplification of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generatio...
Does it really matter if it throttles stuff when your other option is using a mac?
The full text is on Sci-Hub; I won't link to it here directly (I'm not sure if it's allowed?) but it's the first result in popular search engines for me.

Wikipedia has a decent overview of the available literature; when I looked at it last year I found it fairly comprehensive and balanced: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_effects_of_cannabis#...
It was ridiculously bad, even worse with having a dog who brought them in the tent through no fault of her own. Love the place, but Bill Gates needs to spend his money to sort them out.
That data is about refugees. You are conflating new arrivals with refugees, which is not accurate. Some people might think it is even in bad faith.

What about all the other immigrants from EU or abroad whose higher education was not paid by Germany and they immigrate to Germany? Surely that is a positive. Germany is benefiting from paid-by-somebody-else qualified applicants.
I don't think Scott Alexander's page is a 'relatively objective resource'. He is, as you point out, a 'psychiatrist who regularly prescribes them' and also used to take them. It is full of special pleading where he relitigates extremely high quality meta-analyses to overlay his own opinion:

> That is, there are a bunch of tests that ask you a bunch of questions about your feelings and symptoms, and you can add them up and call that a “depression score”, and if you do that, antidepressants have an effect size of 0.3. Or you can ask patients “how depressed do you feel on a scale of 1-10”, and if you do that, antidepressants have an effect size of 0.5. I think the latter is better, because it’s what we actually care about (how patients are doing), and the tests are kind of dumb and ask about a lot of symptoms most people realistically aren’t experiencing.

(In other words, if you ask a patient with depression how they are feeling, and they say 'great', and then you ask them questions like "are you managing to shower every day", or "did you think about suicide a lot this week" and they give the same answers as a depressed person, they are cured!)

Does weird napkin math which clearly can't be justified:

> For those people, they will have a large real effect size of 1.0, plus a large placebo effect size of 0.9, for a very large total effect size of 1.9.

(How do you get to add the placebo effect back on to the postulated 'large real effect size'??)

Says that extremely common side effects are 'very unusual':

> It can be any or all of decreased libido, difficulty orgasming, difficulty getting an erection, difficulty enjoying sex, or decreased sensation in the genitals. These usually go away a few weeks to months after stopping the medication, but in rare cases they might linger for months or years, and there are a few people who say their sexual side effects never went away. These cases are very unusual and still not well understood.

(Note that in the same article he points out that, in general, the medication only improves mood or anxiety while you keep taking it, when you stop taking it you still have the depression or other conditions. So the fact that sexual disfunction usually gets resolved after stopping taking the medication isn't much relief. For most people SSRIs will never lead to a steady state where you are stable with regards to your mental health issue and also are able to enjoy sex.)

Makes armchair psych connection between well-studied things which are not the same:

> When everything goes right, SSRIs blunt negative but not positive emotions. But many people even at reasonable doses will notice that their most extreme positive emotions become a little less extreme (this may be part of the problem with sex).

(Difficulty getting aroused or orgasming or feeling in the mood for sex is not the same as "most extreme positive emotions becoming a little less extreme")
I wouldn't take the approach of banning languages.

But certainly Microsoft shouldn't be allowed to carelessly use a public, scarce resource like freshwater on such a scale as they did during a drought in order to train a model[0] they didn't have a use-case for yet? They should at least pay for the use of that resource to help the local community that now has to deal with the consequences.

The company claims it will "replenish more fresh water than it consumes by 2030," some how... but that's too little too late. And whose to say they will keep that promise? There's no consequence to them if everyone forgets about it and they never follow through. No better time than the present to course-correct.

Resource-extraction companies are like this too. They'll exploit the environment and pollute like crazy unless they are forced not to. They will fight tooth and nail to avoid regulation since that slows or limits profits. But they don't care about people or the environment. Neither do technology companies.

Small gains in efficiency at the level of user-space code has been shown to translate into marginal gains in profits in domains such as ads and securities trading. Data centres also look for efficiency gains here to reduce their operating costs where possible. However I suspect we're getting close to the limit here in terms of gains and motivation. There is still a significant amount of, "throw more machines, air conditioning, and fresh water at the problem until it goes away," kind of thinking since the environmental impacts of those decisions have no consequence to the ones making them.

There's no need to measure the energy usage of the JVM if it's doing useful work. However there probably should be more guidelines for where it's appropriate to set up data-centres and taxing them for the resources they use and pollution they create.

SQLite 3.44.0 Beta
I have an arcade now with a marquee of ~8.5"x11". I'll pick up trade flyers for the games I have and switch it out based on what game I currently have installed in the cab.

Maybe other operators did the same, or they just postered a wall with them to let arcade goers know about the new games.
Actually a linux is in the pipeline. Everything has to run linux for once. Even in o… cloud.
And it is 100% Germany's fault. Many of these people could be gainfully employed if not for Germany's beurocracy. I was abroad recently, in South Eastern Europe, and was amazed to see that in some countries there are people working who have no command of the local language, and no command of English either, and communicated in single words and with hand gestures, and they probably did not have valid work permits either. But they were working, gainfully employed and doing their job well enough. The same job (in a bakery) would require a three year trade education in Germany.
One advantage of just sticking with only 32bit instructions is that nobody needs to write packet-aware instruction scheduling.

Even with decent instruction scheduling, you are still going to end up with a bunch of instruction slots filled with nops.

And it will be even worse if you take the next step to make it VLIW and require static scheduling within a packet.
Ask HN: Which DNS service do you use for your computer's network settings?
And, do you recommend it?

I saw a comment recommending Mullvad's. I currently use the default DNS (my ISP's default).
Maybe it depicts a part of this galaxy history. I like to believe that work of art that touches us, stay in our memory, has some truth into it that fascinate us.

We are strongly led to believe we are alone in the universe, and that we are the first human like specie in the whole universe and our solar system to ever have existed. Believing otherwise is pure heresy. What is left for us to contact part of the world that we know exist but that "can't be real because that would be heresy" ?

Science-fiction, fantasy.
Metric is neither better or worse than anything else, in that regard.

Describing a distance as "4 Plutos" isn't that helpful when Pluto is too dim to see with the naked eye, and still only a dot with a good ground-based telescope.

Even smaller distances like "AU" are too big for a human mind, with the Earth itself being less than a pixel across if the orbits were drawn to scale on an 8K monitor.
No. The GDPR doesn't mandate those obnoxious banners so it didn't ruin the web experience.

_Cookie_ banners were devised as a lazy way to comply with the ePrivacy Directive, which is about cookies among other things. Now, the same lazy minds that gave us those obnoxious banners are the same that shove unrelated GDPR stuff into them and in our collective throat.

_They_ "ruined the web experience".
And we haven't solved the "I am not rich enough to own my own damn house with garage/carport" issue. Few apartments/HOA allow EV charging installation, even fewer have it for renters and even the power distribution isn't often there to power up a whole garage with EVs. A few cars maybe, but what if 50% or more are EVs?
The CX90 has two screen sizes. Bizarrely, only the larger screen is a touch screen, and even then, only when using CarPlay! For Mazda system settings, you need to use the dial.

I imagine they are testing this out as a higher end/cost feature that isn’t fully implemented, and based on sales/feedback, they’ll roll it out to other models in a couple of years.

Depending on my specific need, I may use the touchscreen or the wheel. My kids in the passenger seat strongly prefer the touchscreen.
What is wrong with smaller forums? Posting on your own site requires some effort which not everyone has bandwidth for. There are communities around certain topics that are self selecting and somewhat healthy if the community manages to keep spammers at bay.
I completely agree and am generally supportive of universal healthcare and the welfare state and suspect the Scandinavian model would be an improvement on the current US state of affairs.

I’m just skeptical of the parent poster claim that a Cambrian innovation explosion awaits us all if we would just welfare harder.
I'm an adult, so I understand that being good for sales is good for a primarily sales driven industry. That is, assuming I don't want PC to become a 3rd class citizen that consistently gets releases a year later because of utterly tepid publisher interest... which is where PCs were headed pre-Denuvo.

Denuvo isn't perfect, but it's been a very good model especially compared to its predecessors. The DRM itself doesn't use ring 0 (their anti-cheat addon does but again, cheating is a bad enough PC problem to justify it) and it's been removed after being cracked in the past.

Overall I'll take PC Gaming with DRM over the alternative.
> tl;dr: Writing software is encoding knowledge.

OK.

> Knowledge takes the shape of propositions.

That seems a bit reductionistic, but I'll ignore it.

> Compressing rich propositions into is-a and has-a relationships does not lend itself to clarity.

And if the only way to put knowledge or propositions into OO code was in the form of an object hierarchy, there might be a point here.

The author goes on to say:

> I’m not claiming is-a and has-a are the only types of abstraction available object-oriented languages. As a reader pointed out, most object-oriented languages have other types of abstractions which are not the object-oriented parts, like interfaces (responds-to), plain functions, and more.

OK, so despite the title, the actual point is, don't try to encode all knowledge in the type hierarchy. Well, there may be some people who need to hear that, but the good OO programmers already know...
You assume projects are fulfilling because they have "public utility" (whatever the fuck that means). That's your assumption, not objective fact.

I would not work on boring ass project with cripping management problems and think that's fulfilling. I assume you have recruiting problems because most people share that sentiment.

People like to work on interesting stuff without much office politics, that is "fulfilling" to them, even if outcome is app that would be "boring" to the outsider.
I do a lot of photography that centers around making prints.

Maybe 1/5 of the time I use Adobe's Generative Fill in Photoshop to make things go away, paint an extra row of bricks on a brick wall, etc. I never use it to add something novel to a scene but if I need to remove something unwanted or add a little content so I can center the image property it gets the job done in seconds, frequently on the first try.

I recently started using DxO to develop photos, it has a denoiser that is based on a neural network. I don't use it for my flower photos that I shoot under bright conditions with wide or very aperture primes (my favorite lens is so fast I'm thinking of buying a neutral density filter for it) but my main "challenge" now is sports photography where the exposure is short and often the game is indoors or under lights in the evening. For instance this was shot with 1/2000 s exposure under 3200 ISO

https://mastodon.social/@UP8/111287683773262304

and after processing it looks hardly grainy at all. (There's a good neural denoiser in Adobe's Lightroom too, but DxO is way better.)

Nobody would tag me as a "midjourney artist" , in fact I prize an authentic look in my photos, I like photos out of my Sony with the default setting (wasn't the case for the Canon I had 10 years ago) and it wasn't until late this summer that I started doing a lot in post.

For me A.I. is about authentic photos that look way better than they'd look otherwise.
A lot of medical treatment is like this. Everything has side effects, but at least with regulated, approved treatments, they're well-known side effects with a large-sampled quantified probability profile, thanks to decades of use following years of clinical trials. If you just heed the Internet for anecdotes, though, all you ever hear are the horror stories and your personal risk assessment becomes biased away from statistics and toward compelling stories.

For what it's worth, synthetic opioids and spinal fusion saved my life. If I'd listened to the Internet, I'd have likely never pursued treatment or maybe just taken Kratom and gotten massages or something, fearing I'd end up a drug addict with a worse spine than I started with.

Because RISC-V was designed to be trivial to decode length for, you simply need to look at the top two bits of each 16bit word to tell if it's a 32bit or 16bit instruction. At that point, spending the extra I$ budget isn't worth it. Those 20 'simple decoders' are literally just each one 2nand gate. Adding complexity to the I$ hasn't even made sense for x86 in two decades, because of the extra area needed for the I$ versus the extra decode logic. And that's a place where this extra decode is legitimately an extra pipeline stage.

> I don't know how flexible their design is, it's quite possible adding an entire extra pipeline stage is a big deal. Much bigger than just rewriting the instruction decoders to 32bit RISC-V.

I'm sure it is legitimately simpler for them. I'm not sure we should bend over backwards and bring down the rest of the industry because they don't want to do it. Veyron, Tenstorrent were showing off high perf designs with RV-C.
Nobody ever got promoted for saying "hey, this is good enough, let's just leave it alone and coast." The incentives for changing things that work go far beyond just management.
Ooh, ty! Going to ping you about this.
Electron is a different problem: lowest common denominator crap. Apps that don't form a cohesive platform, because some product middle-manager wants to piss all over the users desktop to leave their own "branding" scent. The fact that most of them are also poorly engineered is orthogonal.
A lot of immigrant women stay home with the family, do you think that explains most of the 50% unemployment?
+1

Also something showing positive results in humans. So many things have been cured in mice, but don't translate.
A gun has only one purpose: to kill. I'm disinclined to give people any kind of leeway when it comes to mistakes with firearms.

At least the damn thing didn't discharge mid-flight.
Highly educated immigrants who speak the language are a net positive, for sure.
What is "a gpr script"? It looks like a small rust file that presumably compile to binary custom utility?

Because cancer is one of the most common most deadly and least treatable diseases out there. I've lost loved ones / family to cancer. Haven't lost any to Covid e.g.

Whatever we can do to treat the various cancers out there, the better it is for humanity. I'd much rather have money flow in this that in the next financial / crypto scam.
Germany's energy policy failed badly, but consider Germany as part of the European Union with nuclear-powered France as its neighbour. Ensemble wir schaffen das !
I would add onto this. If your injury was non-contact, and many are, make sure you are strengthening the muscles around the joint. After a partial ACL tear, I have become obsessed with single leg stability exercises, as well as improving overall strength at the hips and ankles, to take stress off of my knee.

The doctor said it wouldn't heal on its own, but it did with no surgical intervention.
Intel seems to have quite a bit of interest in RISC-V.

They even have a pipecleaner chip using a SiFive core with all the rest being Intel IP.

RISC-V could be their ticket into the phone space.

Finally, Intel knows x86 sucks. They've tried FOUR different times to move off of x86 (iAPX 432, i960, i860, and EPIC). Every one has failed spectacularly.

RISC-V offers an offramp. Patent all the best methods of combining x86 and RISC-V on a chip the release your backward compatible RISC-V + x86 chip. Businesses will buy that chip for decades to remain backward compatible and your patents will guarantee you another 20 years of profits.
It was quite something at the time, I remember it too and this was way before the era of smartphones, touch screens and all that. I remember messing with a palm pilot in the late 90s and that too felt like magic.
Early retirement is not normal.
I did a find before posting my comment and found yours.

"Cool I like Wordpress. But they bought a fancy Pidgin clone for 50mil...? https://pidgin.im/"

I didn't see the value $50 mill either. My immediate thought is many people use instant messaging but don't call it that they call it texts. The only reason I can see this being even a little popular is because automatic somehow comes out with a nice mobile app which looks to be in development. But also, if they convince people to pay to test. Which looks like they will "Billed yearly". It's an interesting move. I don't think I will be a customer, but I'm curious to see how it pans out.. At a risk of dating myself. I remember when AIM was free, and free video game Demos came in the mail and in magazines. So I don't see how paying for all of these apps that are free makes any sense. I suppose it would be a perfect tool for an individual to messages many people on many different networks with a couple of the baked in features. But man 100+ bucks a year to prevent the information overload that I created seems like not a good spend for me.
It's almost guaranteed that iMessage info is being read at the desktop (requires at least one Max) in the hop and relies on the fact that all chat clients don't encrypt at rest.

The minute that changes / the minute further sandboxes come in to prevent reading of the unencrypted chat at rest, these are at risk.

It does seem like even automattic is counting on putting more people into a common address-space before that happens so they can continue to build out their network and support protocols that are platform and device independent.
The Rise and Fall of Cameo
i hope the robots won't do that to their pets. That's part of my optimism.
Rivos was formed from a bunch of ex-Apple CPU engineers. I'm sure they would feel more comfortable with a closer to AArch64 derived design as well.
