There was a NYT article about Bridgewater and Dalio last week: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/01/business/how-does-the-wor...

If these articles are right, the picture I'm coming away with is that Dalio had some good strategies that gave him an edge decades ago but now his competitors have caught up and pulled ahead. Apparently Bridgewater no longer has any quantitative edge and it's really just Dalio and a few close advisors making calls from the gut. Plus all this weird nonsense about "principles".
Maybe it only works with gpt-4? Is there a sample transcript of what it can do anywhere, I still don't quite understand what the end-goal is supposed to be. It seems to simulate mixture of experts technique, but I thought gpt-4 already did that.
My recollection is in Europe (or at least Spain circa 2016) Mountain Dew was much less intensely colored than in the US, and the neon tint was mainly from the bottle.
well tbh the system does work. it will boot and be just fine and i'm sure 99% of users won't even realize they're a version behind. these days the differences are pretty minor so there are not a lot of capabilities a person would miss out on.

I can't seem to find it anywhere. This line leads me to think it isn't public, which is crazy:

It'll be interesting to see how CXL shakes out. It might end up being not much more than cross socket access! 150ns to go between sockets is about what we see here & is in the realm of what CXL had been promising.

Having a super short lightweight protocol like CXL.mem to talk over such fast fabric has so much killer potential.

These graphs are always such a delight to see. It's a network map, of how well connected cores are, and they reveal so many particular advantages and diaadvantages of the greater systems architecture.

I tastes differently. Quite nice, drinking flame retardant in addition to the diabetes sugar spike has a certain nihilistic appeal to it.
I want to make it a point that EVERYONE CAN DO THIS. Everyone can make a loan, everyone can count their un-returned loans as money if they want to, and everyone can accept transfers of other people's un-returned loans as payment if they want to. The only special power banks have is that most people accept them doing this. If your whole friend circle accepts un-returned loans from each other as payment, then you're all doing fractional reserve.
Generally making disparaging bigoted comments about a nationality is to be avoided here. It's certainly not productive to this discussion to label anyone as hateful, greedy, and selfish, and it runs afoul of the HN comment guidelines.

There are plenty of ways to contribute to discussion without making remarks that are emotionally charged and inflammatory.
You may want markets to exist for the benefit of citizens as labor and consumers only. But that's not an agreed upon position. If there is no benefit for humans as investors, markets won't exist. Companies are legal fictions created for humans as investors to pool their capital today and turn it into more capital for tomorrow.
There's no shortage now. A Korean company now makes it, and it is still great. But if you can't find any, I have a stick on my desk

See "rash guards". They're light-weight UV-opaque T-shirts that are intended to get wet, essentially. I wear one, and I do not burn under it, even at the beach, in the sun, all day. Do not forget to apply sunscreen to your hands, since it doesn't cover them — I made that mistake exactly once. (And other exposed areas, of course.)

I should have been more clear in retrospect. There are definitely efficiency advantages to be had from moving things to the cloud, and I'm not against people moving workloads to data centers in general. I meant to point out that moving this particular workload to a data center sort of sweeps it under the rug that Cities: Skylines 2 itself is unacceptably resource-hungry for what it is. It should neither be the home users problem nor nvidias problem that C:S2 was so poorly optimized.
How does the military rating system work?
That’s fair. I view it as just business. It certainly doesn’t affect me or any consumer. It only affects Valve, which I don’t care about. Maybe valve should pay developers more. Epic takes far less than steam does from developers, so I definitely understand the appeal to developers.
It's a good thing until you realize that the remainder of the system around it encourages speculation.

1) Fully tax deductible mortgage interest

2) Full value of mortgage goes against your assets, essentially removing wealth tax for most people.

3) Within any given year, you can either take a 10% * Imputed rental income deduction for maintenance or a specific fully itemized amount against your tax bill. Except that nothing prevents you from taking the 10% and not doing any renovations, and then slamming all the renovations in one year and removing the add on entirely.

4) The first 66% of the home collateral value are under an interest only mortgage, so if you were smart enough to get the 15yr fixed rate you basically be getting a huge loan for like 1% interest payment per year to control a house which you need to live in anyway.

5) Last but not least, local tax offices have a lot of discretion in most cantons to determine what the imputed rent is. The legal requirement is that the imputed rent must be at least 60% of market rent, but there is basically no consistency between cantons as to what number they shoot through, anywhere from like 65 to 90%.

The end result is that high bracket earners are super incentivized to lever up and get the biggest house they can, since they would essentially be investing into a growth asset that reduces their tax income. Since Switzerland is a small country and not a lot of space the end result is that eventually the high earners overbid normal houses.
Jeez. I proposed to adopt some of the Joint Strike Fighter Air Vehicle rules for C++ [1] at one job, and I went through them marking each as "already in practice", "needs debate" or "I'm vetoing it"

And I vetoed early return with a link to the article on railroad error handling. I don't know how it looks in C, but in C++ and Rust early returns are so much better.

Truth. I literally have a signal on one of my monitoring dashboards which indicates "database is currently undergoing online backup", because it is the single most important performance signal I have. This doesn't come to me as a signal from the database team; I have to poll the database for it myself.

My claim of what?

If you meant my previous comment, I clearly phrased it as my own person opinion?
Ideally with PPS, your device can actually just ask exactly for the regulated voltage it needs on USB-C.

Most modern smartphones can use that to charge their batteries more efficiently/with less heating of the phone.
I think the shock value comes from how much we have heard over the decades about how harmful the smoke from flame retardants is, and how many types of flame retardant have been prohibited. So in a vacuum, I agree it's a stupid argument but in conjunction with "flame retardants are dangerous" it's not so stupid.
> There's no evidence that representatives do what constituents want them to do.

Sure there is. "Want them to do" means the constituents decide their votes based on Something Being Done. The fact that we the people continue to vote in our incumbent representatives at rates over 90 percent is a direct measure of the extent to which those representatives are doing what we want them to do.

I can't find an equivalent for Go. https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc and https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc look nice, but they are doing codegen, definitely not as sleek as Rust sqlx.

I guess it's a good example of how powerful Rust is. The "magic" that sqlx does at compile time gets really difficult if not impossible to do without macros.

Of course you could create a separate parser/builder, and codegen works as well, but definitely not as convenient and flexible.
He also had congestive heart failure and his arteries were 30-40% blocked a year before his death. After he fell, he died during surgery to remove a blood clot in his brain. It's hard to say conclusively what caused his fall and ultimately his death, but we do know for a fact that he had heart problems.

I don't believe this matters either way, though. You shouldn't be basing your understanding of what a healthy diet looks like on the outcome for one individual. Experts in the field of human health do not believe that Atkins' diet was healthy, and that should suffice (though of course there are plenty of other unhealthy diets, some of which have problems that Atkins avoids).
I remember patching programs literally by applying a paper patch to a punched tape and then manually punching in a few assembler opcodes to effect a patch. Usually jump to an address at the end of the program where some new code was located in an unpunched section at the end of the tape followed by a jump back. Then you could test the patch and if good, punch out a fresh tape with the patched version. Was slightly more convenient than keying in the opcodes using the front panel switches although there were some simple cases where we did that too.
Which features in the new release did you not want?
On Linux, it likely calls sched_getaffinity().
> Wether or not laws and policies have, in practice, anything to do with what people want, is still up for debate

If we the people wanted something different, we would be voting differently. The fact that we continue to vote for the same incumbents means they are doing what we want.
I track almost all of my expenditures. At a restaurant I used to visit fairly regularly I noticed that my costs were often off by approximately ±25 cents. This was inconsistent and not always in one party's favour. Upon reporting and investigation it turned out that
(a) I routinely wrote 'math' along with a total instead of a tip and (b) one of the waiters only approximated the math required.

Nothing nefarious and I'm not even sure if I won or lost out of this - but it was interesting to catch.
Unfortunately, the text is being drafted in secret and the latest version has not been released publicly. I have seen a leaked copy but I don't have permission to post it. I can attest that the various posts and letters speaking against eIDAS are accurately representing the text.

I know this isn't a satisfying answer, but blame the EU for drafting legislation in secret.
Can I ask for a real example of it? I'm a senior dev, worked in software for ~18 years now. We work in a medium to large sized Rails codebase, with some idioms for things like logging and error handling that have been built over time. We mostly deal with detailed business logic.

I have really wanted to like AI assistance, but I can't figure out when it really helps. I'm an expert at ruby already, a targeted google search is faster than asking when it comes to an api I know exists, and I just need the order of arguments. It generates annoyingly "wrong" code, since it doesn't know our idioms.

Copilot is basically just a context-aware one line autocomplete. I can't figure out how to use it for more.
1982, I think. $1,500/hr.

There was this massive seed drill machine called a "Maxi Cultivator" that was more complicated than a combined harvester and made in Italy, had to be pulled by a SAME (aka Lamborghini) tractor with a ground speed PTO, all sorts of "prototype" madness for a million dollar machine.

I worked for a company that was the USA side of the partnership to demonstrate and hopefully sell these machines to farmers doing the new "no-till" style planting. We had this thing ready to go, the day before some big farm day show, and the test runs broke something deep.

So this Italian master mechanic dude gets flown to the wilds of West TN overnight to fix this machine right now. Spoke no English, but he and our mechanics were able to communicate quite effectively. Sign language and profanity are universal.

He got it fixed in 4hr and the show went on; he hung around for the rest of event just in case, I think on the manufacturer's dime. I recall the bitching about the rate he got billed at later.
We called it "party food": soda, chips, candy, cakes, etc. That's not regular food. You consume that at parties and even then don't eat too much - you'll get sick. My kids are adults now and they regulate themselves pretty well.

Taken out of context: On measuring situational awareness in LLMs
Even the Smartest VCS Sometimes Get It Wrong
Maybe I should be clearer:
Let's say I have a 16 core host and I start a flask container with cpu=0.5 that forks and has a heavy post-fork initializer.

flask/gunicorn will fork 16 processes (by reading /proc/cpuinfo and counting cores) all of which will try to share 0.5 cores worth of CPU power (maybe spread over many physical CPUs; I don't really care about that).

I can solve this by passing a flag to my application; my complaint is more that apps shouldn't consult /proc/cpuinfo, but have another standard interface to ask "what should I set my max parallelism (NOT CONCURRENCY, ROB) so my worker threads get adequate CPU time so the framework doesn't time out on startup.

Isn't this a new Schrems situation? Just because the commission can make a law doesn't mean that it's legal.

Nope - and it isn’t clear the federal gov’t even could. There would be hell to pay if they tried. The constitution allows some wiggle room, but ‘eminent domaining’ large swaths of state land is definitely not one of them! It might even cause a civil war, frankly.

you might find this interesting [https://highways.dot.gov/public-roads/summer-1996/federal-ai...]

There was widespread national (bipartisan) support for it, a clear national military/security need, and it took the political capital of a very popular and trusted president to make it happen - and continuing support by his predecessors. Over 20+ years.

The federal gov’t basically proposed the overall plan, helped co-ordinate between states, and funded about half of it with the states using a cost share program (eventually increasing to 90% in some cases). The states did the actual building (and continue to do the maintenance too!) and things like right of ways, specific plans, eminent domain were handled by them.

No federal forced appropriation I’m aware of. Just co-operation and money.
The reason is twofold:

1. Servicemembers hold security clearances and thus access to critical things.

2. Leaked PII is a national security threat. This report, I'd argue, is good 'marketing' for the very real need for privacy protections nationwide. The U.S. military is, despite its best efforts, still an admired and respected institution.
In this case the Wayback Machine and archive.ph handle the content similarly, but archive.ph is more resistant to content removal efforts and makes it easier to archive rapidly changing pages on demand.

I find it very hard to tolerate teams that say an issue isn't on them if they aren't pointing to evidence that indicates where they think the issue is. If you think it's not on you but it affects something within your responsibility, you're still on the hook until you prove it.
Right. We never get to extraordinary discoveries without taking this first step. I don't know about you, but I have never taken such a step, putting my name and reputation out there, dedicating my life to an extraordinary, possibly unlikely chance at significant new knowledge for the world.
I mentally replace "-punk" with "-schtick" and it makes sense. Steam-punk? Steam-schtick, everything is steam powered. Cyber-shtick, usually a bitter critique of consumer culture, with a protagonist that's heavily invested in the internet. Meso-shtick, they put a light veneer of classical Aztec culture on what is basically a detective novel in space.
More data. Euclid is for filling databases with survey data covering large-scale structure in the universe. Webb is for looking at very small, very distant single objects. Two different instruments for two different experiments.

Consider comparing a fancy DSLR with a telephoto lens to a night vision security camera. Each does what the other can't, and you deploy them for different tasks.

You could define a mutating webhook to inject GOMAXPROCS into all pod containers.
It's the same, but this issue gets to one of the hearts here:

Both of these APIs are set by you, the user. You can choose how big to set your stack size, it's true. However, what value do you actually set? Too high, and you're still using too much memory, though admittedly less. Too low, and you either need to accept death by stack overflow, or runtime detect this case and fix things up.

With async/await in Rust, the compiler can statically see how large the stack size needs to be. Each "thread" will have a perfectly sized stack. No user intervention required, no fiddling with settings.
The problem is that the majority of people are bad, so trusting the majority is a bad idea.
hmm, I can see that as being useful but I also don't see that as the way to determine "how many worker threads I should start"
I know a person who bills $3,500 for a basic 30 min general anaesthetic ($7k an hour). That cost does not include the surgeons fee, or the cost of the consumables, or the cost of the operating room. The operating room itself is about $150 a minute. Consumables are astronomical (anything medical is just expensive) and surgeon’s fee’s depend on the surgeon and also the specialty. Ranging from like $5k to about $60k (the most I’ve ever known to be charged) for a single procedure.
I don't doubt that there is considerable violence along the border.

But I think there should be much more professional actors if they are state-sponsored. These guys make 40k on the low-end and 100k at peak.[1] That's nothing.

Of course with such low pay you end up with the bottom of the barrel of people. And in particular the kind of person who is there for reasons other than the compensation... think for example one of the victims you mentioned or someone adjacent to them. Or just replacement theorists, supremacists, and garden-variety sociopaths.

As someone not that familiar with Docker or Go, is this behavior intentional? Could the Go team make it aware of the CGroups limit? Do other runtimes behave similarly?

A book being "well-received" doesn't generally mean "everyone should follow all of the ideas in here."
