Well at some point, Wikipedia became less about writing an encyclopedia and more about creating and enforcing a set of rules that (hopefully) would eventually lead to a "high-quality" encyclopedia. So if you want to fix Wikipedia, you can't just edit Wikipedia (it'll be reverted), you have to justify your edits according to Wikipedia's core policies (Verifiability, no original research, and neutral point of view). Probably you could also explain why those policies are wrong and need to be changed, but that would be a longer discussion and wouldn't necessarily take place in the context of a specific article. Just guessing, but probably in this case the issue is a lack of secondary/tertiary sources - there is material from that period, but nobody has analyzed it and come to a conclusion on this sub-subject besides this author. So because (per verifiability) secondary trumps primary, the secondary is what is in the article. I think all you could do is get those claims removed, because synthesizing a different conclusion than the book would be original research.
700x28 is the maximum my rim brake bike can fit. I wasn't as clear as I could have been.

Other rim brake assembly types can fit more, but those are even less common on modern road groupsets.
I haven’t seen the base movie but the few stills I have seen suggest the Snyder cut is a much more dreary color palette more than anything. Who are these people who find that preferable?
Maybe this is ridiculous but I kinda like the lack of a backlight: it forces me to find nice bright places to play in, and discourages hanging out in the kind of dimly lit areas that tend to sap my energy and mood.
>Wikipedia doesn't accept primary sources

wikipedia accepts published papers from journals as references, despite that those are primary sources. (I thought they originally didn't, but they do now)

How would this guy's theorems be on wikipedia if he hadn't published them? Wikipedia is leery of people editing "their own page" in the sense of conflict of interest, but cleary if you are correcting a published theorem, that is entirely within bounds. You could say on the Talk page "I published this theorem, wikipedia has it wrong."

You can write `SELECT NULL` or `SELECT *` if you prefer.

PostgreSQL allows a zero-column `SELECT`.

> the romanticization of advanced mathematics

You see that here on HN with all the articles on Category Theory. CT appeals to people who majored in Comp Sci but long for some advanced and abstract mathematics to get away from the daily dose of Node. It is simplistic enough that you can read the first few chapters of a CT book and feel like you're really getting some deep math topics.

As a non-sql-expert (I've used an exists query approximately once in my life) I prefer `select 1` over `select column_name` or `select *` because it doesn't look like it might be meaningful.

Iteration (loops) are typically represented as jump or branch instructions while recursion requires the creation of a new stack frame on the call stack.
Except houses aren’t cashflowing?

I’ve been tracking mortgage vs rent ratio in tech hubs in case I have to RTO. Mortgages are 2x rents. It’s better in MCOL but it’s still hard to cashflow with current interest rates.

You can say they are paying all cash. That’s too much risk for very low upside.

Damn it I got excited and then saw that line. But it is nice we have a new entry to OpenPOWER world. I could at least extend the POWER and FreeBSD combination for a little longer.

I am also wondering who is the backer of Solid Silicon. As much as I love the idea, I would imagine it is a very hard sell to most VC. ( But then VC are known to invest in Cloud Kitchen and FTX saving the world so I guess I shouldn't be surprised )

It seems serious parallel programming has mostly gone with shader/ISPC style data-parallel computation with low-level languages and the old school threads & locks model has been relegated to a side support role lost except on the CPU side.

There's interesting stuff going on in the VHLL world with languages like Futhark, Jax, Mojo, etc that would be a better peer group for Python and its high level of abstraction.

I disagree. Things bump into each other randomly but that is it. An enzyme conformational changes are anything but random. And the thing can work at the speed of a thousand molecules per second. That is not slow and I guarantee you an engineered nanomachine is nowhere near that speed.

Get down to the molecular level and biology is at the machine phase.

> Perhaps you're looking at the 18th century definition of 'bourgeoisie', which commonly means middle class.

Its the same class that became the capitalist ruling class; just prior to the effective displacement of the titled nobility as a center of power as a distinct class the bourgeoisie was a relatively narrow elite that was the middle class between the titled nobility and the peasantry, in much the same way that the petit bourgeoisie under capitalism is a relatively narrow elite when looking at society as a whole, but still the “middle class” between the haut bourgeois pure/major capitalist and the wage-labor-dependent proletariat.
Okay, I know I'm "that guy" that just has to bring RISC-V into any discussion: Why hasn't there been more adoption/movement of OpenPOWER or OpenSPARC? I assume that they have extremely solid toolchains available, and the feature sets were obviously mature enough for high end computing, and they've been 64-Bit for a long time.

I thought that the UltraSPARC T1/Niagara was a really amazing concept, if maybe a few years too early (and definitely in the wrong hands after Sun was extinguished), so I'm just scratching my head why everyone's so gung-ho at starting a brand new architecture from scratch - especially one that seems more suited for ultra-low power microcontrollers. OpenPOWER was founded 10 years ago, OpenSPARC is even older, the T1 code was released in 2006 - so there was time to adopt them as well.

Is the existing ISA too hard to get into lower power chips? Are there any weird patent/licensing issues going on that don't make them as "Open"? Could I please get a modern, high-end SPARC workstation?
> The Falcon 9 B uses 29,600 gallons, equivalent to 112,184 Kg of kerosene per launch.4

For each kilogram of kerosene burned, 3 Kg of CO2 goes into the air.5

112,184 Kg x 3 Kg CO2 = 336,552 Kg

That means 336,552 kilograms of CO2 go into the atmosphere every time Falcon 9 is launched.

I was curious if GPT-4 Vision could explain it:

The paper presents a geometric problem centered on equilateral triangles. The key question is whether it's possible to use \( n^2 + 1 \) small equilateral triangles (each with side length of one unit) to cover a larger equilateral triangle that has a side length just slightly more than \( n \) (specifically, \( n + ε \), where \( ε \) is a small positive value).

The two figures provided illustrate possible arrangements of the smaller triangles within the larger one:

1. *Figure 1*: This demonstrates that \( n^2 + 2 \) small triangles can cover an equilateral triangle whose side is \( 1 + ε \). It's evident that the small triangles fit neatly inside the larger triangle.

2. *Figure 2*: This shows a different configuration where the large triangle has a side length of \( 1 - ε \). It seems to suggest that with just one fewer triangle (i.e., \( n^2 \)), the tiling is not possible for a triangle of side length \( 1 + ε \), but it may be for \( 1 - ε \).

The paper, although succinct, poses an intriguing tiling problem in geometry. The authors likely aim to stimulate thought and discussion on this particular geometric configuration and challenge readers to consider the conditions under which such tiling is feasible. Given the brevity, the paper might be a problem statement or a brief note, rather than a full research paper with exhaustive proofs.
How to Roman Republic 101, Addenda: The Socii
I built startups since 2016 and realized it only now
I built startups since 2016. Sold one of them last year.

Now, I finally get that Product / Founder Fit matters.

Everyone talks about Product / Market Fit, but PFF is just as important that the PMF.

Back in August, I chose to make an AI chatbot tool (custom ChatGPT for websites). It’s very crowded market. There are many tools like this out there. And I've been thinking about making one for a while. But I always put it off because there were so many other big companies doing it.

So, I made a faith leap and built it.

A close friend of mine, who's done really well with his own businesses, told me it might not be a good idea.

But I kept on building because I really liked this kind of tool and believed I could make a difference. I chose to make my chat tool just for a specific niche - SaaS. And I added some special features too.

Yesterday, I made Craftman public and launched it on Product Hunt. Right now, we're in the #3 spot on PH! A lot of people are trying it out and giving feedback.

My friend saw the product and messaged me. He said maybe he was wrong and that I should forget his earlier advice about “red ocean”.

I know it's not a big win yet. But I'm happy to see people liking and using my tool.

I think I can really make this AI chatbot tool work.

Why? Because I found Product / Founder Fit.

I never felt this way about my other startups, even the one I sold. And I didn't care about them as much. And I don’t afraid of competition now. Really!

So, my main message to my younger self: build something you love in an area where people want to spend money.

PFF matters!

P.S. If you are in Product Hunt, I’d love to know your feedback on Craftman.
Radio silence is generally ambiguous: either you're doing really well or really badly. xD

Meta is obsessed with "impact", a illusion of precisely-quantifiable innovation and productivity setting up perverse KPIs to never refactor, never invest in employee career development (because "the year of efficiency" and "we're moving to fast"), and never bother with anything other than looking good. And everything diff has to be reviewed by someone on your team, but if your team doesn't include actually seasoned coders, they're going to nit pick because they don't understand the programming language and take their time, slowing you down.
Japan railway journal is always a treat. Cathycat is a good host.
Legion is a C++ runtime system. It exposes APIs in C++ and C. You can write code directly to it with C++ (and CUDA/HIP/SyCL if you want to use GPUs). But the only requirement is a C++ compiler and standard build system (Make/CMake).

Regent is a programming language. The compiler for Regent generates Legion code. Semantically, Regent is mostly a simplification of Legion. There are fewer moving pieces, so fewer things you need to worry about. Many of the "gotchas" that exist in Legion are taken care of by the language/compiler so idiomatic code usually "just works". It also does GPU code generation for you so you don't need to hand-write CUDA/HIP/etc. The tradeoff is that you're using a new programming language, so you have to be willing to take that risk.

Layoffs aside, I still hope that the office space doesn't get left behind as a project. The real interactions really matter.

For example, if there was a world were education was entirely digital, I would still want a place for students to interact in real life, not just online.

No, in TypeScript's type system. As far as I know, recursion is the only method of iteration but the comment I was replying to seemed to imply otherwise.
Next, whip out a copy of "Beginning Java 2.0". /s

Have them set a reasonable end-goal, a thing they'd like to make. Give them the tools to do this. Mark out some steps and scaffold them along the way.

When they've made that, ask what they'd like added. This introduces iterative development. Mark out a plan for that.

Then start all over with a similar but different end goal and have them gain confidence repeating/reinforcing the use of what they picked up with the first goal. Iterate in a different direction.

When adding a their project, perhaps the concept of re-use, making into modules or templates, might sound useful to them.

Then have them go less unguided by you personally with a self-paced course from Udemy or similar. They should be acquiring some self-teaching at this stage. Step in when they're having a lot of trouble.

The key theme here is building efficacy - sort of 'effective confidence' though a distinct term, and that's great for learning anything for life.

Edit: At no point be shy of printing a page of the code you're on and working through it with a pen. Things like loops and recursion might take some repetition practice on their own; introduce crazy things like while or even prove recursion through box logic if you're particularly sadistic!

I can't imagine it is war-related, or at least not in any direct sense, like literally trying to intercept soldiers or spies.

I think the more likely scenario is that someone was to catch carders/botnet operators, since Jabber/XMPP is still very popular amongst people in that scene in Russia; you'll see often see screenshots or logs containing @exploit.in, @jabber.ru, and various other servers pretty much in any Krebs on Security article, for example.

That said, I think mass-surveillance is usually pretty gross regardless of intent.

I don't know what the exact ratio of criminal to non-criminal usage of either server is, but just like how Tor simultaneously has a ton of obviously illegal content mixed with whatever percentage of legitimate use [1], they presumably still do have a fair amount of totally normal conversations going on. And so I'm not an exactly a huge fan of invading privacy in order to spy on random cybercriminals likely far out of your jurisdiction in countries unwilling to extradite in the first place.

And while I understand if Hetzner was forced to comply, unless they wanted to become another Lavabit, as someone who recommends them often, it'll still be a little disappointing, IMO, if it turns out they were aware and allowed or assisted in the MitM attack, because otherwise, I think they're one of the best hosting companies.

Their transparency is great. And I get better uptime, reliability, and support than the overwhelming majority of cloud providers without selling my organs to afford it. And their effort put into turning environmentally-friendly design choices into economically smart choices is commendable.

The "reduce" in reduce > reuse > recycle can be seen in their KISS designs—like the raised, angled roof, allowing natural heat escape rather than loads of HVAC [2]; server chassises that are more bare-minimum structural support and air-shrouds than actual chassises; and stripped-down standard motherboard designs with only the most minimal changes, like 90-degree rotated sockets to allow a single fan to cool the VRM, CPU, and memory [3], rather than a dozen screaming, power-slurping Delta fans for every server.

And their knowledge of "reuse" is evident by their server auctions, where they do Dutch-auction-style rentals of legacy hardware rather than scrapping everything, avoiding spending a load on new hardware while also avoiding the environmental cost associated with manufacturing new everything each generation.

I'd love to be able use them more if only they had dedicated servers outside of Europe.

Erm except AEG promoted that whole tour (and the too few beyond it – RIP Prince) and is a replica of, and/or, the only direct competitor of Live Nation.

That's a weird example to pick out, as if Prince was 'fighting the system', and yet I'm sure you know he exclusively signed & got paid up-front from the 2nd positioned monopoly in the game.

Cool story that you got to sit side stage and wrote code behind his fan club ticketing (which I'm sure you and AMEX shared for <= 7% total tickets sold, and AEG _definitely_ didn't finance as part of the exclusivity deal on the whole run) but come on... I know you know all you've done is present an alternative story that's supposed to garner upvotes but anyone who knows, knows you were the next one in line to fuck this entire industry and rake it off top.

> Secrecy critics also argue that there is something wrong when America’s adversaries have better information about the federal government’s actions than its own citizens.

That makes a good sound bite, but does it really make sense? Like if any ordinary citizen of a nation can access some information, isn't it pretty much a given that at least that much will be known to the nation's adversaries?
