Indeed, just because you’re not willing to grind doesn’t mean you don’t have value, or have less value. Value discovery requires experience and wisdom. Great comment.
Is single motherhood still the bogeyman as during the era of 90s entitlement reform? In these times when the younger generations are having less and less sex, much less getting pregnant? You might as well be complaining about Cadillac driving welfare queens.
It's pretty, and it would be nice to be that close to the mountains, but I can't stand the political climate in Boulder. Denver is fairly blue but still diverse enough that I feel comfortable here even though I don't personally share a lot of those views. Boulder, though... it's like people are trying to build the Berkeley of Colorado there. Which is fine, live and let live. But I would never want to live there.
Since you run a few subs maybe you know: if modding has gotten harder since the API switch, why don’t mods just bring in more mods to help?

There are plenty of transferrable skills you get from being an expert something that gets made obsolete by a similar-but-different iterative improvement. Maybe you're really good at implementing ideas from papers, you have a great intuitive understanding of how to structure a model to utilize some tech within a particular domain, you understand very well how to implement/use models that require state, you know how to clean and structure data to leverage a particular feature, etc.

Also, being an "expert in LSTM" is like being an "expert in HTTP/1.1" or "knowing a lot about Java 8". It's not knowledge or a skill that stands on its own. An expert in HTTP/1.1 is probably also very knowledge about web serving or networking or backend development. HTTP/2 being invented doesn't obsolete the knowledge at all. And that knowledge of HTTP/1.1 would certainly come in handy if you were trying to research or design something like a new protocol, just as knowledge of LSTMs could provide a lot of value for those looking for the next breakthrough in stateful models.

> They have to continuously invest in content [...] They can't simply enshittify

Enshittification (as coined by Doctorow) has a very specific meaning. This is not it. They are only increasing their prices, and introducing ad supported packages for those who don't want to pay.

They are free to sell their content at any price they want, and we are free to leave at any time. No one is captive (unlike social media, as mentioned above, where you stay because all your friends stay).
Generally considered to be part of a mob/mafia. Lots of extortion (and murder) against anyone investigating them [1] and taking vehicles to connected shops that would do more damage to dial up the insurance bill. Often the rates for the tow itself are unregulated and your negotiating position is often weak (or they lie to you and say you have to remove your vehicle from the road immediately, which isn't true unless ordered by a police officer, whom per above links, have also been corrupted by the industry).

There's also been a tow truck war locally where they'd torch competitors (or non-complying) tow trucks [2]

> Hikaru talking about the cheating allegation against him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm2R--_fBj0

He seems very amused by the accusation in that video.

Regarding his video to me this sounds like if you were to ask Djokovic to play 46 tennis matches versus players ranked between 5 and 400 in the world, could he win 45 out of 46 matches and draw one game (not possible in tennis but hey)?

I mean: Djokovic literally won 41 matches in a row, including several matches against opponent from the top 5.

From the opponents' list, it looks like there was no Magnus Carlsen and not any top 5 players in the world?

Is it that surprising that a world champion crushes competition like that?

I don't know but I'm not that suprised.

P.S: I'm making a tennis analogy because Hikaru likes and plays tennis
It has been a long time since I last debated this stuff, so it is funny to see the same talking points from 10 years ago.

1) PoW is the only way that is actually decentralized. If you want decentralized power over the currency - PoS will never work on a long time horizon, because you'd need some way of representing stake that is just impossible. As far as the whole "waste" complaint: relative to what? I've never seen a comparative study that included the entirety of the existing financial system. The academic papers I have seen complaining about bitcoin were full of comically bad errors: using geolocation to try and pin mining operations to nearest power plants, estimating hashes per watt based on FPGA or first gen ASIC miners, etc.

2) Bitcoin volatility has been going down every year, which makes sense given wider participation. Volatility is obviously different from price.

3) Bitcoin has had the capability for offchain transactions a long time now - using smart contracts with onchain settlement, so this really isn't a real concern any longer.

I think like Thermos and Hoover they just didn't trade mark police adequately.
The absolute minimum tin that delivered three people to the moon and return them safely to Earth could have been destroyed by a fault in almost any of its innumerable subsystems and components. It was very much a detail-oriented endeavor and set the standard for unit and integration testing for decades, maybe even up through the present.
What brand of power supply though?
Probably. But keeping in mind the mobile focus, a more judicious icon-style art design is important, and I'm not sure how good generative AI is at making stuff that's legible at small sizes. Also, the simplicity of the current art allowing the download to be only 21MB is an accomplishment.
They're likely capturing their screen with sound. If they allow the audio output of the game to be captured by the microphone, then the game sounds will play twice. Chess doesn't have very many sounds, but it does have some, e.g. when a piece moves.
Sorry, unsolicited advice here. I was obese 4-5 years ago.

What helped me was a coworker who told me about his yearly fast, how he prepared and the difficulties (the first two days are the hardest). After the 5-day fast, I found it way easier to ignore my hunger and start IF (now I mostly eat less tbh).

If you want to try, here are my adices:

- If you have big health troubles (if you're diabetic), ask your doctor. It might be a bad idea.

- Do your fast during spring, late spring specifically. Sun helps a lot with mood and motivation
Prepare how you enter the fast.

- The previous 3 days, I was on a mostly ketogenic diet (greens, eggs, poultry, meat, butter, avocado, falafels)

- No medecine. See point 1. Medicine will break your fast. Prior to the fast I took nutrients (vitamin D, magnesium) (I did a blood test before obviously).

- Prepare to drink a lot of water. I added lemon juice in small quantities (for electrolytes, and taste). Tea might be OK too.

- The worst day was the second (the first was easy either). I wasn't able to do anything. Prepare for it, stock interesting books, play video games, find ways to forgot about your hunger. It will physically hurt. Each time it does, drink water. Also, prepare a book rather than screen time on the evening, falling asleep sooner will help.

- Once I passed the second day I was mostly okay. I was pretty tired and weak the 3rd, but I was able to exercise and go out the 4th and 5th (my libido also increased a lot, beware). I stopped the 5th day because it was my object (and I was visiting friends the rest of the week), but I could have lasted longer, and probably worked without issue from the 4th day onward.

Sorry again if it's unsolicited. Hopefully you find something that works for you (and I'll be happy if my dices helped anyone who was in my situation).
I think there was like one or two generations max of 32-bit Mac Minis and MacBooks before they shipped with 64-bit Core 2 Duo and Quad processors.

I have a 2008 MBP that's 64-bit, and a 2006 Mini that's 32-bit.
Depends what you mean by great. Technologically the GPU in the Gamecube was pretty cool and it served as a foundation for the Wii, but it's hard to tell if that's because it was just so good or as a cost saving measure, by 2006 things were moving to HD and programmable shaders and the Wii was stuck at SD with (admittedly rather powerful) fixed function hardware. Those PPC cores were showing their age by the time the WiiU rolled around too, a lot of games ran at sub-30 framerates.

The choice of Mini DVDs was baffling. I modded my Gamecube back in the day with a chip and a custom top shell that expanded the physical space to allow the use of full sized DVDRs (they were cheaper). The optical drive mechanism was still only sized for Mini DVDs, but full sized discs worked fine as long as you didn't burn past the edge of where a Mini DVD would end. That mod highlighted that they totally could have allowed for full sized discs without compromising on size of the console, cost, or anything. Just like ignoring DVD movie playback at it's peak, it seemed utterly dumb.

In the market it ran third after Xbox, which was released by a company that had never released a games console before. That's pretty embarrassing for Nintendo.

Also Super Mario Sunshine is just terrible.
Show HN: SQLFlow: SQL Stream Processing Using DuckDB
I'm a couple years late to the party but DuckDB is blowing my mind. I couldn't find an good embedded DuckDB stream processing solution so I hacked my own, calling it SQLFlow:

https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flow

SQLFlow enables writing stream transformations in pure sql, executed using DuckDB.

The goal was to create a lightweight, performant stream processing engine using pure SQL transformations, DuckDB didn't disappoint!

I'd love your feedback, feature requests, impressions, or just comments. I'd love to turn this into a stable, usable project that people are comfortable running in production.

Thank you
It has long changed and became much more reliable in the process.

Stephen Wolfram in his tutorial article on ChatGPT, in his conclusions on the main differences between human and ChatGPT learning approaches [1]:

When it comes to training (AKA learning) the different “hardware” of the brain and of current computers (as well as, perhaps, some undeveloped algorithmic ideas) forces ChatGPT to use a strategy that’s probably rather different (and in some ways much less efficient) than the brain. And there’s something else as well: unlike even in typical algorithmic computation, ChatGPT doesn’t internally “have loops” or “recompute on data”. And that inevitably limits its computational capability - even with respect to current computers, but definitely with respect to the brain.

When I started work in the 1980's everyone smoked cigarettes at work.

ALOT of cigarettes. You had an ashtray on your desk and they all filled up quick.

I spent all day sitting at my desk working on Sirius 1 and Apricot "microcomputers" and smoking fags.

Every meeting was full of people lighting up and blowing smoke everywhere.

Weird, when you think about it.
Which clause are you calling "you can use this at our pleasure"? The license is short and there is no such thing. The most restrictive item is whether you had 750M active users in the month before it was released. [1]

I'm curious what you are drawing issue with, but it's also under the bridge. Any sane reading of this license and the release shows that you have WAY more rights compared to GPT-4 or other fully closed releases. The availability of these weights and code are propping up an open source community around LLMs, which lends oxygen to other even-more-open endeavors.

You're quite mistaken AFAIK.

> The failure mode was a multiple independent root cause sequence of low probability events. If I remember correctly there were about 200,000 flights before it was grounded after two airframe losses which is a failure rate of 1 in 100,000 flights [...]

> preventing these types of problems

"1 on 100,000" is not a "type of problem".

Just because an event is rare that doesn't mean it's some kind of niche scenario that's hard to prevent.

If you actually look at reports of what they did wrong (which you did not do at all), you see there were plenty of actions that went against safe engineering judgment. (And no, I'm not referring to mine or other randos', but those of actual engineers and pilots.) They blew past multiple safeguards in the process, which made unlucky events fatal. It didn't need to be that way, and it wasn't that way for other planes either.
You wouldn’t iterate over `echo *` anyway. This works just fine in bash/sh:

for file in *; do

At the same time Rust forbids some practices pushing a coder to choose another path. To name a specific example, try to roll out your own dynamically sized type type or a self-referential one. Such small things could contribute to performance too.

Have you tried modifying the TTL on the router? I can't give you all the information but it's a place to look. I believe dropping it by one is what's needed. I've used a Belkin router flashed with padavan firmware and it has an option to adjust TTL, just a checkbox, but it seems to enable unthrottled unlimited tethering as far as I can tell.
Baby aspirin absolutely was created for babies. Modern doctors are mostly too young to remember that 81mg aspirin was commonly given to babies before the discovery in the 1980s that it was associated with Reye Syndrome.

FDS maybe? Didn't make it outside of Japan, but it was enough of it's own platform/ecosystem that it could count if you stretched the definition far enough.

Facebook is incredibly relevant. It probably has more impact on more people's lives than Twitter or Reddit. Facebook isn't cool anymore. But for the 30+ crowd, especially the non-college educated crowd its huge. Tons of small businesses use it to host their "websites", the community groups are huge, parents / family groups, facebook marketplace totally replaced craigslist for a lot of people.
Synth designers are very opinionated, so they all sound different or make different choices that affect how different people get along with them. They're like DAWs that way. Lots of people swear by FL Studio, I can't stand it.

Give Helm a try. It's the only way to know if its opinions mesh with your own.
That's not a stalemate, reddit just won.
They have a right yes, but they will also rightly suffer from their approach. I not only participated in the blackout, but because of the CEOs arrogant comments about how valuable my data is and how they deserve to sell it, while destroying the tools I value and use, I also deleted all of my valuable data from reddit and after handing off the one sub I moderated I left the platform forever.

I think reddit is a wonderful idea that needs different leadership, and the only way for that to happen at this point is for reddit to die and something new and preferably harder to buy out takes its place.
Expect a different title track, different comp ranges(it's likely in the project management job family, go compare on bls.gov), and likely a manager without experience in your new practice. If you're the first/only, you're also looking at making sure folks understands your role, and how to value your efforts.

I haven't seen folks make the change in formal role. I have seen folks take on the role, and I've taken it on myself (not my fave) with moderate success to make things happen.

Biggest advice: support the people in producing good outcomes, any processes should serve that. But the people create the outcomes, the process is a disposable tool.
If those numbers are to be believed, it ruined any chance of their IPO for a couple of years. It's hard to sweep 'we lost 20%+ MAUs because of a policy change' under the rug when users/impressions are the lifeblood of a social media site

Sorry to be pessimistic, as they always said the fruit does not fall far from the tree, but I'm hoping that Flix can prove me wrong.
completely agree. 3 years would be enough time for parents to string maternity leave across multiple children. Assuming a normal person works from 22 to 67, taking 6-9 years off to raise children is only 20% of that time at most.

Culturally we need to make it much easier for women to leave and re-enter the workforce and to also work part time.
This is a nice summary of the practical aspects and considerations. It isn’t something anyone should be doing explicitly on a regular basis but there are occasions, particularly in libraries, where it is the perfect tool for the job.

There is also the inverse use case: smuggling pointers inside status codes, enums, and similar. For example, optionally encoding a pointer to additional error metadata for non-zero result codes. In C++ it isn’t that uncommon to also see Result types implemented similarly when the type allows it.
I work alone. I accepted the offer to join me on my largest forum once. They bailed within a day or three without so much as saying "bye, bitch!"

Imagining that reference frame is a beautiful thought. Galaxies and stars coming into and out of existence in real time, supernovae exploding like fireworks constantly as the entire universe zips by.

> Buildings are designed and built at about the same speed as they were then. They cost as much or more in inflation-adjusted terms.

If that is true, I bet the % amount of labour has been reduced of the total cost, and materials and/or shifting standards have swallowed up the difference.

It's indeed the fact that Ukrainians suffered from man-made famine, but it's incorrect statement that they were targeted as ethnicity or that they were only victims.

Red kommisars didn't care too much about ethnicity, their conducted class war and their battlefield of food expropriations by food squads was whole south of USSR with fertile lands where peasants produced main volume of crops in country: that's Ukraine, Russia south of Moscow (e.g. Kuban), north-west of Kazahstan and some regions of Caucasus - so called Black Earth region.

It should be called genocide too, but communists pushed UN to exclude class as criteria from official genocide definition (because oppressing "bad" classes was core soviet doctrine during it's whole existence). So "officially" it was not genocide because it was not ethnically motivated or targeted, but practically it was.

It's important to remember what real socialism/communism is about (world revolution and class war), and not be deceived by talks about "wrong communists" who targeted ethnicities instead of "right communists" who don't do that.
Encoding might not be the whole issue, but "Rust mandates that the 'string' type must only contain valid UTF-8, which is incompatible with every operating system in the world" is the reason why OsString is a separate type.
