I am so sorry you are experiencing all this. I sincerely hope things turn a corner and things improve for you. I’ve had my share of horrific trauma related to my health, and it often felt this would never end. Luckily my issues did end, but it does really change your perspective on how fragile and valuable life is, but in some ways it also made me more accepting of death having fully accepted a number a times death was preferable to my situation. I had people that depended on me though so it was more a recognition of the fact.

I did find places like HN and other outlets really helpful, little bit sized opportunities to nerd out and connect, that were just small enough that I could keep focus during the worst of things.

Good luck.
“DisRespect and insult” is a strange take on strategic advice. And While I’m already probably on a few lists, I don’t feel safe spelling it all out
I suspect there may be something else going on, at least for some people. My girlfriend has digestive issues when she eats wheat, but rye and barley don’t seem to bother her. So I assume it’s not gluten specifically, but eating gluten free resolves the problem.
To make things more complicated, the word "tag" is also overloaded. It can either be just a reference (in git lingo, a "ref") to a commit - just like a branch, only differing from it in how the tools treat it; but they can also be "annotated tags" which are pointing to a special tag object which contains some metadata and only then points to a specific commit (or other kind of object...) :)
About That OpenAI "Breakthrough"
Skull has limited volume. What room is unused by one capacity may be used by another.
I would have appreciated more on the challenges facing the new OpenAI board. The quote at the end from Satya was a bit of a shocker.
So what you’re trying to say is the fear is justified. That going in for surgery or a stay at the hospital is as much (or more) risky due to after procedure infections.

I’ve broken my olecranon (the pointy bit of your elbow) and declined surgery. I set it myself. Glad I did. It hurt. It wasn’t pleasant. But to me the risk of infection from being opened up for something so minor was too much of a risk. If I had internal bleeding or something I would have gone for it but a simple broken bone (even a joint) isn’t enough for me.
That was 6000 ly away. If another one happens 3000 ly away, whatever water thickness you cover your entire Martian base may easily not be enough. Or 1000 ly. Or 100 ly. You can hope but you are still rolling dice wherever you are in solar system or out.

If you want to protect humanity's survival from gamma rays, you can add the same protection on Earth more easily. The rational reason to colonize Mars is so that you can escape there when things go bad on Earth. Which is especially funny because the 1% who escape there are the ones responsible for most of the pollution right here.

In the same boat, stay strong my dude.

Personally I'm using it as an opportunity to tell my story and call out authorities by name, when my case is over.

I would like to see a country where judges don't play God or choose which families win and lose in this country. They owe every citizen respect, not just the ones with uteruses.
Yes but it seems it is at least an order of magnitude (or more) to slow/small to compensate CO2 emission of humanity.

And a lot of plants don't bind CO2 for a long time. Even trees have to be replaced by ~100 years and then if burnt or rotted they release CO2 again.

If you wait very long and you apply the right physical conditions, they might turn into oil again which was a good long term storage.
Oh, please don't do that.

Unbounded exponential backoff is an horrible experience, and improves basically nothing.

If it makes sense to completely fail the request, do it before the waiting becomes noticeable. If it's something that can't just fail, set a maximum waiting time and add jitter.
Free software is emphatically not definitely an anti-capitalist movement; if it was it would say so.

It's a pro-freedom movement; it may incidentally screw up business models in the name of protecting freedom, but doesn't say much about "capitalism" directly.

(Hence my above comment about the problem with the word "capitalism?")

Because if I do what my boss told me to do, what has been done for ages without consequence, and you’re going to pass a law putting me in jail for it, I will expend every effort to thwart it. If, on the other hand, you’re saying “stop it,” my give-a-shit factor is lower.

The broader public is indifferent about the Fourth Amendment. Polling and elections and listening to phone calls from constituents shows this. Activating a concentrated mass of political energy against yourself, in this context, is not a bright idea.

Also, it’s wild how cavalierly we’re willing to contemplate taking away someone’s freedoms in a conversation about other freedoms.
There’s some special handling for FETCH_HEAD too (i.e. which branch on a remote is considered the default).

For years I was deeply annoyed by the terrible name “branch” for something that acts more like a bookmark (or “wandering tag” indeed!).

And then I learned that git branches are branches in exactly the same way that the first element of a linked list in C “is” the linked list. Git was made by C people and they’re used to referring to entire data structures by way of some root element.

I mean that doesn’t make me dislike the name any less but at least now I see where they were coming from.
ML still cant do sin. Functions that repeat periodically.
Of course the prevalent reason to make a service is that it can be monetized to Hell and back again. Does it fit the customer's needs? Who cares, as long as they have no clue what they will end up paying until it is too late to migrate away.
That's a lot of words to basically tell me to shut up, I'm a bigot.

Let's see where this country is when those like me rightfully sit and do nothing to defend it. There is a cost for acting like certain citizens matter more than others.
This missing piece of information would be essentially `git reflog`, except it's not something Git sends between the clones.
That comes straight from an article[0] I do admit I do not know if it accurately quotes its source but it was not just a made up example.

It is also relevent to the story of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (2021) where they needed 2 trillion square meters of solar panels for an emergency. The study quoted in the article below was in 2018, book released in 2021, the article itself in 2021, might be some covergent evolution to the story.

As I understand it, the main issue is cooling the damn thing. Socket SP5 can do up to 700W, and that's all emitted from a heatspreader 72mm x 75mm.

Getting the power into it isn't trivial, but it's not rocket science either. When the socket has 6000 pins, you can spare a few hundred for power.
I think I've misunderstood what circuit breakers are for years! I did indeed think they were a server-side mechanism. The original commenter's description of them is great, you can essentially create a heuristic based on the observed behaviour of the server and decide against overwhelming it further if you think it's unhealthy.

TIL! Seems like it can have tricky emergent behaviour. I bet if you implement it wrong you can end up in very weird situations. I should visualise it. :)
In my observation, the problem comes when there is a "merge main to the feature branch before merging"

This step is when newbies get confused because the diffs are the wrong way, and I've seen people often losing merge hunks from master when there are conflicts which can be disastrous (not a git issue, I've seen people do the same in SVN).

The proper solution IMO would be for git to have a "merge --reintegrate" which would do the opposite merge: take the main branch and merge the current feature branch to it... after success, you have a new feature branch.

This is why I also prefer rebase and cleaner history (but a common mistake here is to squash after PR approval... that should be done before, not after).
pg can both respect Altman's abilities, while concluding that his presence could be detrimental to his own objectives.

It's not in either man's interests to create drama, either.

It all makes me wonder what really happened with Musk and OpenAI. There's so much we don't and can't know about these billionaires and their internal sparring, despite the fact that we give them such huge amounts of control over our society.
No? If you have a horizontally scaled architecture or anything with multiple nodes, you can't just get away with "sqlite is a library".
I did a but of digging but was unable to find what kind if sparsity this applies - unstructured? Semi-structured? Block sparsity?
The first problem is some people are meant to be artists, it’s what they’re good and excell at. Placing them in engineering domains won’t do anyone any justice, they’ll suck.

Second, people will consume and like and pay for what’s available to them. If their government decides that an entity like Spotify disadvantages their local artists they can simply add legislation to fix that.

I really don’t like the idea that artists should just give up because some SV types just rendered them useless. Artists are like a glue to the fabric of community, it’ll be a huge loss to have everyone doing stem instead.
A very welcomed release. I love Qt. I'm building a note-taking app with an advance block editor (so you could write some text and have a Kanban in the same view). The model is in C++ and the view is built with QML and I absolutely love that combo. In less than 20 days I managed to have all the basics ready (including multi block selection, support for different block types, etc). You can check it out here: https://www.get-plume.com/.

I can't recommend Qt more!
I support this kind of law if we also published the same information about anyone who wants to exercise their first amendment rights as well.

This appeals court has clearly forgotten that the supreme court also noted that the second amendment is not a second class right. The Bruen decision is basically the "reasonable time place and manor" control that the around the first amendment. If something wouldn't be done for the first it shouldn't be done for the second.
Maybe she was confused with Tamiflu which only works when administered no more than 48 hours after onset of symptoms, at which point there can be no certainty it's an influenza infection at all without the expense of testing.
"Russians now sell a lot of oil to India for rupees (and note that there does not seem to be any initiative to bomb India for engaging in this trade), but then are basically forced to use those same rupees to buy stuff from India again".

That is how the world economy used to work, before the petrodollar.

Now, Saudis or Qatar or pick your favorite Middle eastern monarch sell oil to US and everyone else in exchange for $USD. Since oil is used in nearly every other product line, either for transport or actual product, now world trade depends on how much $USD you have to buy said oil.

Euro is irrelevant outside of Europe.

It lacks tack, IMO, but maybe there's a reason for their comment. Doesn't seem like it hurts to ask someone why they have their particular opinion vs. knee-jerk bucket them into a stereotype we have imagined and completely dismiss them.
What factory?
This seems strange from my experience, too. Once a year my doctors orders testes for Syphilis, HIV, Herpes, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia. When I went to the doctor to check out a suspicious lesion on my genitals (turned out to be acne) they did a full battery of tests as well. The rationale is that testing is cheap, and an untreated STD is expensive. Then again I have pretty good insurance.
>It's a career-limiting niche.

This depends on your career aspiration. There are not as many companies hiring graphics programmers as there are shops who need "front end" or whatever they call scripting web pages nowadays but the barrier to entry is rather high so there are plenty of jobs in every FAANG plus Microsoft, Tesla, self-driving shops (I even have been approached by self-flying robots startups couple of times), training (from military to oil rigs), of course, the every game studio (which may or may not pay little and force you to work overtime, I am pretty sure a graphics programmer at, say, Roblox has better compensation and working condition than a front-end developer at Amazon, for example), and yes, the 5 or 6 companies that need drivers (Apple, NVidia, AMD, Qualcomm, Samsung, ARM, Intel, etc).
Counterpoint: Apple has been quite successful despite their insistence in silos across teams and orgs.

The 'normal, moral person' is load-bearing in this argument. It's a wild card used to filter based on superficial preferences. It can be wildly inconsistent, even within its own framework.

Pocket operators which this is a big cousin of didn't even have a case at all. I sort of think this looks as good as 3 pocket operators. For TE it's pretty good.

My op-z is one of my favorite sequencers/grooveboxes but the case is poorly designed and prone to double inputs due to how flexible it is and the keyboard is plastic soldered to the case so not really repairable. For the money this looks like a better physical design, and unlike pocket operators can use midi for sync.
Funnily enough, this was the first year I got a flu vaccine, because it was being offered basically at my door and I thought it'd be useful to have before visiting family. I still managed to get sick afterwards, just instead of a flu it ended up being a particularly bad viral cold.

Not a slight against the flu shot, just a funny tidbit since it reminded me that the vaccine doesn't make me invincible from all similar disease.

QML is not "magic". It's a separate language that integrates with C++ and makes UI design easier, sort of like how webpages use HTML/CSS for the graphics and JS for the logic.
Define "this". If you git-log from the commit on the top of that ASCII graph, you get all the drawn commits listed (unless adjusted with arguments such as `--no-merges` or `--first-parent`).

To take the analogy of a company, the problem here is that management is really bad.

What you described is rather akin to hiring better workers, but we need better managers.
Whether it’s a single or multiple models is more of an implementation detail, as long as there’s at least one model capable of satisfactory goal planning _and_ following.
Have you tested your proposed function against i?

abs(i)

= sqrt(i^2)

= sqrt(-1)

= i

Now, i != 1... so clearly either the abs function you have in mind here is doing something that isn't quite aligned with the goal. If we assume that the goal of the absolute function is to always produce positive real numbers, the function is missing something to deal with imaginary components.

I'm not sure, but based on these cases so far, maybe you just need to "drop the i" in the same way as you need to "drop the negative" in the case of non-imaginary components. Now, "drop the i" is not an actual function so maybe there is something else that you can think of?

EDIT:

Maybe could do this(works for x = i at least...):

abs(x) = sqrt(sqrt((x^2)^2)

Now.. how about quaternions...
Ask HN: What is Q* (Q star) at OpenAI and how does it threaten humanity
Reuters broke that the precursor to all the recent drama at open AI started with researchers at open AI writing to the board about a recent breakthrough they made and the threat it poses humanity. (It could be possible that Sam was aware of this and didn’t care but that’s a tangent)

Given where AI stands today what kind of breakthroughs are possible. What are the big gaps to AGI that exist today?

would be great to know of the gaps to follow progress and closeness to achieving AGI
You contradict yourself by saying both the platform should publish important people and that the platform is not lending credibility. Which is it?

Then you created a strawman argument to knock down. If they do anything, I'd actually like them to research the statements made and publish the facts instead of publishing the statements directly under their headline. They don't need to put their heads in the sand.

Maybe spending less time reading biased op-eds would help you develop better skills in this area.

The use of "enum" in Rust predates the standardization of C++17, where std::variant was introduced.

Its not gate keeping its an observation on the usage patterns of users.

In the early days of computing most users had strong technical skills (shocker), over time the commercialisation of technology and its entrance into everyday life has shifted the amount of users who can even start to understand how their software/hardware works. In contrast Linux is still a very technical OS to use, even installing ubuntu requires a certain __type__ of user, so the amount of Linux users who are capable of understanding their computer is much higher.

I don't quite understand what you are saying.

As per the article, the advantage of a library over a service is that you don't have the burden of maintaining the said service. How having a thin client and a server helps?

I also don't see how "shoving new options in the dict" can help. From my POV, if the client needs to be updated to benefit from the new features, then there is no way around it, work has to be done. From there, I much prefer having sensible name, parameters, etc. from a library that can be leveraged by static typing rather than a documentation for a JSON API (I know API-as-specs exist but I've never used, maybe that's why I think that).
