> The complexity of sorting is done in comparisons.

Yes, and the difference often enough comes down to whether a calculation can be performed in an affordable manner. It may be on demand is not fast enough and a calculation should be done at update time, or in a queue.

But it also come down to capacity planning. If you’re off by a factor of logn, it gives a bigger lie to the concept of “economies of scale” (which have always been BS in our field) and you can transition a project from making a healthy profit off of a set of features to going bankrupt on it. Each new customer costing more than you can make off of them until the VC money runs out. Who here hasn’t worked on that project?

> Trying to teach a novice with respect to extremely complex CPUs or broader computer architecture

I’m not talking about CPU architecture here at all. I’m talking about Information Theory, which they absolutely should be taught, and Physics, which often enough is a requirement for graduation. At least at schools where CS is lumped into the college of engineering.

I haven’t sorted integers in about a decade, and maybe three times in two decades. I use BI and telemetry tools that sort them, sure, but that’s someone else’s problem and not part of OLTP workflows. For me it’s a toy problem.

Nobody has ever sorted strings in O(nlogn) time. Nobody has ever inserted String->Object mappings into a hash map in O(1) time. Stop lying to intellectuals. They either learn to distrust you or you break them if they don’t.
It's an observation; I don't think I've stated anything that isn't (1) public knowledge, or (2) common sense about how wealthy and powerful people maintain wealth and power.
That's true, but you can support a land tax without the other tenets of Georgism. It's unusually reductive.
How's the distribution of the errors? For instance I don't care if it's better on average by 1 Celsius each day for normal weather, if it once every month is off by 10 Celsius when there is a drastic weather event, for instance.

I'm all for better weather data, it's quite critical up in the mountains, so that's why my question about how reliable it is in life&death situations.
Let's not act like Google Bard isn't behind curtains. They face the same scaling issues like Openai/Microsoft. People are using search in a very different way than a LLM. Openai isn't simply replacing a search catalog to websites, it's replacing the internet as we know it so i don't see how this can be compared. Most people on earth won't have nearly unlimited access to this technology at the moment because of hardware limitations that all providers in this game face but those who have are at an advantage.
I think anyone can get on the Top 500 as long as they run a verified FP64 LINPACK result. At the time, this would have been comparing against Perlmutter:

https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2021/06/

So 6k A100s at just under 10 TFlops of FP64 => 60 PFlops. I don't remember if they said what the interconnect was, as that can hold you back from achieving those 60-ish PFlops.

It's too bad NVIDIA's blog referred to the FP16 value as "flops" in the same breath, as most people at NVIDIA know that Top500 focuses on achieved FP64 LINPACK results. I swear there was some talk of using MLperf or similar to make a Top500-for-ML/reduced precision, but can't find it now.
I have used Pixels for a long time and never felt the issues you're talking about.

For me Pixels phone are the best overall Android phone you can get.
Question about Fairhope:

I spend a lot of time in Arden, Delaware which is also a single tax community. Many of the people of Arden love the town and Georgism. So much so that there seems to be several people from Arden that were named either Arden or George.

Does the same naming thing happen in Fairhope?
I think it's in part that they don't want to seem to compete with Samsung so they have to define themselves as mid tier.
Rolling leases seems to be superior, and more logical than a land tax. You'll have to be able to factor in lease reduction (for primary homes, non-market housing, farming and strategic industry), but it seems easier to set up.
Erm a lot of things. Diet and exercise are literally key. Diet less so, I can be depressed with a great diet. But with adequate sun exposure and exercise it's pretty hard to be super depressed unless you have a serious chemical imbalance. (edit: I also think having goals in your exercise that you actually care about somewhat helps).

I go outside and stare at the sun every morning for like 5 mins (this is so key I can't even overstate it). I take a cold shower after that (proven to increase your baseline dopamine). I exercise almost every day. I try to never spend a whole day in my house unless I'm sick, preferably spending the majority of the day outside my house. I try to get 8 hours of sleep at least 5 out of 7 days a week, by which I mean 9 hours in bed with the lights off. Being in bed 8 hours isn't sufficient. All this makes me feel awake and sorta alive.

I keep a journal where I set myself goals for the day and I reflect on my performance and my state of mind at the end of the day. Sorta a bullet journal deal with a bit more feels but in a practical way. It's for monitoring and encouraging iterative improvement and for analysing and mitigating negative thought patterns. This allows me to keep myself accountable but also just cope when I'm literally crying in the evening for no reason. It's like my emotional support book.

I was having trouble with caring about anything I usually would. I just started trying to act like I cared. Like acting curious, being highly engaged. And it sort of leads to you naturally being more interested after a while.

I try to create social interaction for myself every week even if no-one invites me to do anything.

I have Freedom app on my phone blocking most stuff for the first 5 hours and last 1 hour of the day. I also don't listen to music or podcasts in the morning. This leaves my brain feeling less sluggish and helpless.

I sign up for really random stuff sometimes just to make my life interesting.

Lastly, I do a lot of deep breathing when I'm trying to get things done because I tend to get anxiety about literally any task.

Edit: I don't know why I need so much going on to make myself function like a normal person. But it works a lot better than not doing this because otherwise I literally curl up into a ball, give up on life and get fired from jobs.
Agree to disagree. Lenovo Thinkpad are quite well built, other models are horror shows. I'm using a E480 that does not come with an SSD, yet I can still run Windows 11 smoothly with all the required stuff for development.
This adds a lot of color to all those metaphors about turning into a beautiful butterfly.
Why is Biden opposing the warrant requirement? Shouldn’t he be careful regarding 2024? Or is the hope that the alternative is so bad people will still come out to vote for someone who supports warrantless searches? Maybe most people don’t care, but at least in my circle this is a big deal.
Out in Nebraska, there's very little demand for land for building houses, and the land is not bad for growing corn, soy, wheat and cattle.

Land right next to Lincoln is likely to be valued like other residential and industrial spaces; land out in McPherson County is likely to continue to be valued like other farmland.
I love that this inevitably gets mentioned on HN literally any time space debris comes up. I found out about it because of HN, and it turned out to have been very meaningful for me. I'm very grateful for that.
So this article highlights a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed. The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is partly contingent on resolving this problem. With the decline in search engine usage (a trend I contribute to, as I keep ChatGPT open all day), discovering websites becomes increasingly challenging. Consequently, this may lead to a decrease in content creation since websites are receiving less traffic. Ultimately, this could hinder AI development, as it relies on training with new and relevant data. Additionally, it's worth noting that this issue may extend to books as well.
I like this post. I feel identified.

I would add that in my case, sometimes I feel pain, and I do not know what information I can get from it.

For instance, when someone criticizes one of my projects, I have pain and also information to improve.

Unfortunately, some of my projects do not have any feedback, just indifference. Like when I have no comment in HN. I have pain and no information. I do not know what to learn from it.

Perhaps, in those cases, the information is that I have to keep on building, and keep on trying.
I'm guessing GP means "forgot" in scare quotes, i.e. they didn't really forget, they chose to look the other way for strategic reasons.
Speaking of, I was disappointed that Duane did not make the drawings for the latest volume. Perhaps he's retired now.
This is being investigated and may eventually become part of the diagnosis (if you can afford the tests):

>In conclusion, a series of biomarkers in the literature are promising as objective parameters to more accurately diagnose ADHD, especially in those with comorbidities that prevent the use of DSM-5. However, more research is needed to confirm the reliability of the biomarkers in larger cohort studies.

But yeah, generally there are a lot of conditions where you go report symptoms to your doctor or perhaps a specialist and they prescribe a treatment based on that alone. Testing is mostly used to rule out the really nasty possibilities or figure out what's actually going on when first-line treatments don't work.
What would be really useful is a follow-up study that used GPs LED optical trick to influence the brainwave frequency.

IOW, set the frequency to a known external stimulus, and see if the effect still holds.

The trouble with the bookmarking idea is link rot. It takes some effort to keep the lists up-to-date. The new webrings are not doing too well because of this either. I know of around 190 of the "new" webrings and can only get around 20% without encountering a 404 message.

The "small web" search engines might well be the way to go. Apart from Kagi, some I know of are:

This is the point right? I do think it's fair to say that resources/$$$s aren't the thing holding back something like the Pixel Phone from being the number one smart phone, but at the end of the day it just isn't still.

Therefore putting cash into this kind of thing makes sense, but the bigger question is still, why isn't Google just doing better in these non-search categories it's competing in?

I used to think so too, but evidently weather forecasting is a much harder problem than it seems from the outside. I was talking to a physicist who told me who had first wanted to get into weather modeling, but that it was too hard. I think his quote was something like: "those guys are hard. core."
That isn't true. It means it wouldn't reach probable cause. There are plenty of crimes and suspected crimes for which it's hard to gather enough evidence to reach probable cause.

He said it correctly: it wouldn't meet the legal standard. That should mean, correctly, you cannot invade people's privacy, but again it's pretty unrelated to "are they investigating crimes or not."

Edit: GP's comment was edited from "That is to say, they're not even investigating a crime." That claim is untrue.
That's an interesting claim that calls out for more evidence. Just a year ago, when CA had a large budget surplus, it refunded billions of dollars to many of its taxpaying residents in the form of inflation relief payments. That doesn't seem like the behavior of a government that only wants to collect more and more tax.
Hello! I work in local politics as a side-hustle/volunteer effort. This litmus test is absolute bullshit because it ignores the massive swaths of issues that are party orthogonal and don't make headlines. When actually pressed the liberalest liberal who's ever liberaled with a car bumper full of stickers will actually have a unique set of political views once you move past the like six wedge issues and vice versa. And the more interesting one is the reasons behind a view vary wildly. I was taken aback when I talked to a very conservative gay veteran who said that trans people shouldn't be in the military because, "they won't get the care they need" and that people should all have guns to shoot crooked cops.

And the other problem is that those "unrelated" views on both sides of the spectrum are actually way more related than people assume and those common threads define the group so it's not at all surprising that you can see a theme and make predictions based on it.

An easy one for liberals, asymmetric power dynamics are bad. You can follow this theme to lgbt rights, blm, general anti-corporation, defund the police, drug decriminalization, generally anti-prison, supporting Ukraine, supporting Palestine against Israel, but also supporting Jewish populations at home, reducing the size of the American military, strong labor laws, unions, immigration, defunding ICE, civil rights, anti-insurance/single-payer healthcare, breaking up monopolies, taxing billionaires they all stem from this. You show me a sympathetic underdog and I'll tell you who the liberals will support lol.
I'm sure it would. They have mod bots monitoring how many of your links are to your own stuff. I run a totally free public education nuclear site (no ads, no cookies, plain old static HTML) and used to answer nuclear questions on reddit. I'd often back up what I was saying with links to detailed writing on my site, but I got banned from a few huge subs for self-promotion. Lol. So for the most part I just stopped answering questions on reddit.
My friend has a rent controlled -- huge LR, kitchen, dining room, 2 hallways, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, 18 foot ceilings, in low 80s upper east side. $500/month. I think his neighbor's rent is like $6500. Yeah he's not leaving.

> I personally think people's first property should be tax-free. their actual home.

This is how it works in Canada: principle residence has no capital gains on sale.

If you move to a new place, and don't sell the old one, then you have to change its status and the clock starts ticking on any price appreciation after the status change. Further if you rent out part of the structure (e.g., basement), then you have to pro-rate a status change of the property (generally proportional to surface area) and declare rental income.

I have like a billion bookmarks and sometimes I tag them well, but sometimes I don't, and once every few months I'll go through the list at random and tag away.

But like, what's the point of all those bookmarks? Outside of implementation details that are captured on stack overflow in convenient question - answer format, I feel like everything that exists on the internet already exists better in books. Even my own blog is basically just me stumbling though photography and philosophy and travel destinations, writing out information that's much more easily understood from published materials.

Well, I suppose one thing small sites are good at is condensing information that should be condensed elsewhere but isn't. My most popular article (gets tons of organic traffic from Google) is titled "How to Rent a Motorcycle in Taiwan." If you searched that on Google I think the top few links should end in .gov.tw but none of them do.
This reminds me of the early internet. Every little site had a "links" page or "friends" or "sister sites" or "blog roll"

There were also "web rings" which was a club you could join. You put a widget on your site that would randomly link to other pages that were part of the same web ring (and you'd get back links from other sites).

I haven't really seen any of those things in probably 10 or 15 years though.
Welcome to the New Lifehacker
Hello world just needs to call console.log, so doesn't need libc. Here's an example that builds without libc / emscripten to produce a very small wasm hello world: https://github.com/nikki93/cxx-wasm-freestanding There's actually some other stuff in there right now but console.cc is the main thing -- it calls consoleLog which js exposed to wasm from the js code at https://github.com/nikki93/cxx-wasm-freestanding/blob/master... .

You do need some JS code that asks the browser to run the wasm blob. You can't eg. just have a script tag that refers to a wasm blob yet.

libc does help with things like having an allocator or string operations etc., or for using C libraries that use libc. And that's where emscripten becomes helpful.

Browser functionality like the console or making html elements is exposed through JS interfaces, and the wasm needs
to call out to those. But they may be directly exposed to wasm later (or they may already be at this point in new / experimental browser features).
> For other use cases, such as advertising, sharing would even be desired behaviour.

Not necessarily. It could be used to associate the advertiser with something they don’t want to be associated with.

Depending on what the QR code leads to, that may have to be a subtle difference.

For example, if I copy a QR code for a Greenpeace campaign and place them at the Indianapolis speedway, or at a hunting event, theres a chance that those who read the code will think that Greenpeace placed them there in an attempt to comment on the badness of those events, but what if the link leads to a “good to see you here” or fairly generic “support this green event” web page, things may be different.
It's even more mysterious once you realize that metamorphosis is a later evolutionary development. Early insects hatched out as miniature adults and molted as they grew, as do arachnids and crustaceans today.

So to evolve a larval stage they had to evolve a whole separate new organism from the ancestral one, so to speak.

The determination of probable cause has nothing to do with whether the invasion of privacy/warrant is "absolutely needed" or not. The FBI's position is that that should be a consideration.
You'll need a local weather expert to assist, as terrain, geography and other hyper-local factors create forecasting unpredictability. For example, Jay Peak in VT has its own weather, the road in has no snow, but it's a raging snowstorm on the mountain.
> If this was five years ago, WiFi was ghetto on Linux too.

That's true of many wifi vendors such as Qualcomm, but Intel wifi (used by the post/author) worked just fine on Linux five years or even almost a decade ago in my experience.
Maybe you can provide some perspective here: it seems almost universal that people who start these medications never find a dose that provides durable benefit over the long term. Makes sense; we acclimate to a new dopamine baseline, right? Almost everyone I know ends up on a significantly higher dose than they started with.

And the stories of feeling like a zombie when off meds are very real and pretty freaky.

It's kind of maddening that cities cracked down on SROs because of crime and then complain about all the homeless people and crime they have on the streets. What did they think was going to happen? That residents were going to move into proper apartments? They probably would have already if they could, so now the problems are worse as a result.
That's a great way to go, but unfortunately the reality is often the folks go off and write stuff in the non-supported way. The business gets dependent on it, and then years later -- because IT is there to support the company overall -- IT gets stuck supporting it even if long ago they said they wouldn't.

Sure, you can have an internal political fight, but it only goes so far when everyone there is supposed to be working for the company. So while there'll be strong incentive to move to something else, there's still a need to keep it working in the mean time.

If you can prevent this up front it's better all around.
Read my other reply in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38262103

I agree with your stance on every single count but one. If your request already hits the plaintext 80->443 redirect, you've already lost; there's nothing the server can do to guarantee security, and refusing service altogether does not complicate the task for an intercepting proxy, because they can still make an upstream HTTPS request and serve it back over plaintext. That game was always lost, which was the original motivation behind HTTPS, and then HSTS.

This scenario is not hypothetical; it's literally what you must do if your hardware is not capable enough (my G4 struggles along, but older CPUs are the true test of patience). I wrote TLS-stripping, HTML-rewriting proxies for fun, and every HTTP client that trusts the web server with redirecting to HTTPS is vulnerable. If this affects you, the problem is that your web browser is likely more ancient than mine - HSTS with preloads has been a thing for like a decade.
