2. Don't need a library with a DSL in direct opposition to the claimed principle (avoid DSLs).
"Working with a cathode ray tube, for example, we can manipulate the voltage on the plates and directly observe the deflection of the point of light on the screen. We can use the equations from a physics textbook, combined with voltage measurements on a multimeter, to make predictions about the electron beam’s deflection and then test them directly on the device."

I would argue a small proportion of humans have verified the physics they've learned as you describe. The rest learn from textbooks and ultimately there is an element of trust that they have that most of the books are not false. Ultimately from a Bayesian perspective, I think it is possible to obtain very high confidence about certain attributes of the world even if your sources are very contaminated with fictions.

Much as I appreciate the reference, I think the fact this limit exists at all and is an integer is more interesting than what the integer is.

A lot of paradoxes and confused ideas begin with "choose an integer at random" - what is the average value of number chosen between 0 and infinity, for example.

Unfortunately, this tech stack is a significant revenue source. Microsoft charges for pipeline minutes, concurrent runs, etc… This is especially true in Azure DevOps which shares much of same underlying pipeline software.

Letting anyone run this locally for any reason would let them bypass the monetisation.

It’s the same reason that ad-supported YouTube is “missing” a download offline feature.

It’s not an oversight. It’s not happening. Stop asking.

The only thing we the dev community can do about this is to develop our own open-source CD platform with blackjack and hookers.

This is why I advocate for private charity and not gov solutions. Gov introduces moral hazard every time and is less efficient. If people who ended up in serious trouble due to gambling got help with strings attached, which would likely be the case, I believe the societal outcome would be greater than outright banning anything where one party is not happy with the outcome, when both knowingly entered a voluntary transaction with perfect information.

> War was profitable back when you'd use horses, swords, bows and arrows to conquer more fertile arable land and slave labor, as that was the most value back then.

But maintaining large armies to do such conquering was massively expensive, and consider the extent to which various kings over the years have had their military ambitions crushed because their country or people could no longer tolerate the sacrifices required. The so-called slave labour still has to grow food to primarily feed itself, and this is a fairly full-time occupation in a pre-industrial state. There isn't a lot left over to sustain an occupying force in any sort of comfort (which incidentally isn't farming its home fields when it is doing the occupying).
this is an interesting point of view, but after thinking about it for several years, i think it's mistaken. some of the reasons can't be put into words, but here's what i can explain

geothermal energy (so-called egs) and solar are each individually far more abundant than fossil fuels ever have been; wind energy is comparable to fossil fuels and easier to harness. hydropower is a smaller resource but still one that's sufficient for industrialization

fossil fuel exploitation for mass production of steel in blast furnaces was widespread in song china 800 years ago but didn't lead to the industrial revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_the_Song_dynasty#St...

contrary to kris de decker's wishful thinking, medieval and early modern holland didn't have an industrial revolution either, despite wind power

the industrial revolution still hasn't reached much of the planet; consider how many people still subsist on agriculture or unskilled, non-mass-production urban labor, in places like my own country (my experience here is the part that's hard to put into words) but most especially in the regions where fossil fuels are most abundant

the hard part of the industrial revolution was probably science, liberalism, and capitalism; superstition and kleptocracy are the human default

"fully functioning pieces of complex software" - in my experience a majority of software is simply not that complex. And the few places where it is are not on the view layer. To make sure we're not talking past each other, can you give examples of the kinds of software you're talking about? We do quite a lot of react work too, but it's ~20% of the projects we work on, when advanced frontend interactivity is needed.
I think this is an incredibly strict definition of knowledge that would preclude many experts from many fields--and very different from how it is normally used.

Ask HN: Is ChatGPT's error rate high?
I have a paid account (ChatGPT plus), and supposedly it can take in a file, like a PDF and allow you to chat with it about he PDF. I says it's able to take in up to 100mb files, bit even with 3mb files I noticed the error rate is really high, like 80% of the time is cannot generate a response. I get it should not be expected to be accurate, but it's outright unusable. Is this something that as paying users we're expected to accept because it's MVPing its way into billions? What has been your experience?
Yeah I mean sunlight is made at 10,340 F and human beings sometimes complain about the heat in the summer.
Every register I've seen has five unlabeled slots for bills and five trays for coins. That usually means you have a slot for 1s, 5s, 10s, 20s, then everything else. Coins are the same: 1, 5, 10, 25, then whatever else shows up.
There’s a documentary that’s in post-production named “Message Not Understood: Profit and Loss in the Age of Computing” that chronicles Xerox PARC’s research on graphical user interfaces and personal computing and how modern personal computing and the Web have deviated from the visions of Xerox PARC researchers. I’m highly interested in watching it once it is released.

In my opinion, what we’ve lost from the early days of personal computing is a sense of empowering users by giving them tools that not only they can use, but they can extend and even modify. Sure, today’s hardware and software are more capable than ever, and these extra capabilities do empower users in the sense that their tasks are made easier. But what about the ability to shape their environment? All too often software these days is locked behind walled gardens and binary code. Users generally have to accept their software packages as is. If Slack or Zoom or Photoshop changed its interface, too bad; you gotta just cope. Even FOSS can be an impenetrable mass of hundreds of thousands of lines of C and C++ code that even a seasoned software engineer would have to spend a week or two studying the codebase before making modifications, a far cry from the much simpler AT&T Unix from the late 1970s or the Lisp machines of the 1980s.

Even more frustrating than the complexity of modern software is the increased commercialization of personal computing. Ads, subscriptions, and tracking is everywhere. Data is increasingly locked in cloud services that often don’t respect users’ privacy. In short, personal computing back in the 1970s and 1980s was about taking power away from mainframes and giving it to the people, but it seems that the past two decades have been efforts to bring the power back to large corporations who dictate the terms of our computing experience.

What can be done about this? I think the FOSS movement has been a wonderful start, but there has to be an effort made to make a simpler software stack that makes it easier for users to extend and modify their tools. I’m also very interested in idea of community-driven, non-profit cloud services as alternatives to Big Tech. Computing is too important for society to be controlled by a tiny handful of corporations.

It is not ok for Apple or Google to do this while at the same time operating an ad business.

If they feel this is in the best interest of the end user, then they should divest of either their ad business or control of the browser. Neither company is willing to do this. This IP move is anticompetitive as it consolidates even more control of the ad ecosystem in a handful of companies. Google’s response that they are placed at the same disadvantage as other third parties is not accurate. Google controls the browser and so has full control to communicate any data between the browser and their servers, bypassing the proxies.

There is only one thing that drives these companies and that is maximizing profits for the benefit of their investors. This objective is fine. However, it is disingenuous for either of these companies to hide behind the defense that they care about the privacy of end users.

If Apple cared about the privacy rights of all humans, why do they share all data belonging to their customers in China with the Chinese government. The only reason is profits. Google also shares all their customer’s data with any government that asks.

If there were a thousand companies that each had access to a tiny sliver of a consumers data, we would have a system that naturally protects end user privacy. However, with a few companies controlling the vast majority of the consumer tech landscape, we now have a system where a few for-profit companies are keepers of our data and already sell out when their profits are at stake.

Can you elaborate on "it" in this sentence? What is "all primes up to 37", when you phrase things in an easier to understand way?

I can't tell if you're suggesting the word median is being used in a misleading way? But it's basically the definition of "median 37" that half your numbers are "up to 37".

To be frank, I don't understand why the USD 1 bill exists either.

In Europe, we tend to have coins up to the value of approximately USD 2, included. The eurozone obviously has 1 and 2 euro coin. Czechia has 20 CZK and 50 CZK coin. Poland is slightly bucking the trend, because 5 PLN is a coin (of value more than 1 USD), but 10 PLN is already a bill. Bulgarian has 1 BGN and 2 BGN coins...

Coins can take a lot more daily use than paper money, and are handy to use in parking automats etc.

I wonder of one of the reasons for this difference is that US WCs tend to be free?

Toilets are paid in much of Europe, and you generally use a suitable coin for access, though lately some of the facilities started accepting contactless cards as well. Paying for a toilet with a bill would be very impractical. That is a frequent use case in Europe, which necessitates existence of suitable coins. But in the US, this use case seems to be rare, if extant at all.
It's not the trading, it's the paying money for lootboxes.

In analytic number theory we usually only care about growth rates in a very coarse sense- up to scaling by some constant, and asymptotically. Because the log of any base is precisely the same up to constants, it doesn't actually matter. If you look at the expression, to the right of the equals sign is a big O- that's the same big O as the one you might be familiar with in complexity.

That being said, in math more generally when we need a concrete log the natural log is pretty much always the way to go- I haven't seen ln in a little while.

Actually it does. If you assume that doing some a difficult dangerous task like, testing a rocket engine, building a building sized rocket or launching a rocket is inherently dangerous, and no amount of safety will get the injury rate to 0.

So if a company only does 5 engine test and 1 launch a year and has 10 injuries, then that is inherently worse then a company that does 1000 engine tests and 100 launches but has 20 injuries.

Or do you disagree?

> is there an integer which qualifies to be the most interesting?

I’d say that 664571016291591957042161991109590159107314773607 and 590488317782859198927092718316232684864014739572 qualify, which are the big- and little-endian versions of ASCII “the most interesting”, respectively.
It's primarily EQ calibrated via a frequency sweep of the room + speaker acoustics.

The hifiberry DSP does primarily three things:
- equalization for speaker + room acoustics
- customizable crossover frequency for speakers (in my case a 2.1 setup)
- loudness equalization across speakers

There may be a latency compensation module, but that's not something I needed in my case.

None of this is rocket science, but audio does sound significantly better after compensation. Specifically, my living room geometry was causing standing waves in the ~200 Hz range, making the low-end sound unpleasantly boomy. The calibrated compensation pretty much eliminated this, without needing to invest in physical sound traps and the like.

This is a fun little project for really not much money. I recommend it to everyone who likes tinkering, all you need is a <$100 measurement mic, REW, and a tiny bit of patience.

Every people talking about theft security and counterfeit prevention is simply getting the point wrong.

If "counterfeit prevention" system is complaining about a genuine part that literally came off of another genuine product, that's not its actual job.

If "anti-theft" system is trying to wrestle with the legitimate owner trying to fix their own product, that's not anti-theft, or rather, the owner is not you. The owner is Apple, and that's precisely what the article says.

The "security" here is protecting Apple's bottom line by ensuring you buy a new product for otherwise fixable damages.

Just because it's somehow more secure doesn't mean it's better for the consumer in any way.
