I suspect you don't have kids? Either way that is a hilarious recommendation, for a number of reasons.

If my kids asked to play Minecraft and I installed that game, it would be a bit like them asking for pancakes and serving them bran flakes and a grapefruit.

They're not even remotely similar games, and have wildly different levels of appropriateness for children -- though that obviously depends on parental preference.

In any case, there's not even a slight their friends are playing it, and that is probably the most important factor for most kids.
My understanding is that high-end residential heat pumps (e.g. Mitsubishi HyperHeat) will do this at lower temperatures as well. If the temp drops into the zone where the heat pump starts losing effectiveness (which on such systems is still pretty low, supposedly mine provides the full heat rating down to around 0F), they can run the blower motor in a less efficient regime to supplement the heat pump with a bit of resistance heating, without needing to fall back to a true "auxillary" heat source like heat strips or a furnace. That can extend the effective range down to a few degrees below zero (Fahrenheit).

Since I live in the southeast, that's more than good enough to skip installing any auxillary heat source in the first place.

A recent post was talking about software as an expression of an idea. If you take something simple like a text editor, which purpose is to edit text, you can go and express this simple idea however you like. The final result will be different according to the person/people who shaped it. And that is why you have things ranging from nano, vim,... to sublime and vs code. To go from an idea to a product, there are just too many variables in play, and most of them depends on people.

> I would love to see a standardized metric for accounting for assets and liabilities.

I'd say that is easy. Just compare what the business wants/needs to what is inside the codebase. The diff percentage is a nice basis for the above. But that would require a very detailed study of both the company processes and the codebase itself.

I think that's why most of us feel the need to build our own tool. Because the ideas represented by the software we are using are not what we would have come with. And thus, we're building extensions and plugins.
Can you explain how your own mind works?
I thought the whole promise of electronic records was to avoid transcription errors -- if the doctor enters it into the record himself, there's less chance of someone misreading or mistyping his notes later.

Docker images can still have a drift in layer delta if one would not pin system package versioning of the applications being installed, even if the instructions to generate those layers remain the same.

The output being an image does not make all iterations of those instructions the same thing.

This really is a tremendous idea and if vehicle software engineers were better they might actually be able to do it.
USB 3.2 gen 1x1 is a 5Gbps data rate. With the 8b/10b coding that provides 500MB/s throughput.

USB 3.2 gen 2x1 runs at 10Gbps. After the 128b/132b coding this provides 1212MB/s.

I have had so much fun integrating with Telegram from Elixir. There is a lib (not in hex unfortunately) that makes it all quite straightforward.

I even gave a remote talk about it with an interactive demo: https://youtu.be/DFGHaER6_j4?si=sooEsiyVTmfXPqNs

Telegram is a mile simpler to get going with than the others.

> Methods overridden at runtime, traces that end with a call to a closure that no longer exists, event handlers whose execution order depends on side-effects during module loading, stack-traces which contain multiple different versions of the same function.

My experience is that the more orthogonal the data, logic, and presentation in the system, the more methodical the naming, the less important the system is and the more the creativity can be focused on the task, not dealing with the "personality" of the system.
That's what I thought, hence the question given the text above. Not promising something isn't quite the same as saying it is impossible if you don't have it yet, also the 'already' is a bit suggestive.
USB-IF defines their data rates in terms of link rate. So 5 Gbps after 8b10b encoding is 4 Gbps. Makes sense, since fastest transfers never exceed 500 MB/s over USB3. Same applies for the 128b/132b variant, except it's only a ~3% speed reduction, so it's much harder to see that in practical testing.
there are many "similar" chime noises for entirely different warnings on this page (no seatbelts; proximity alarms, ...). I'm not sure what is a good UI here, but I feel that this ain't it.
That may be the medical purpose of electronic records, but there's a business purpose -- billing -- and an administrative purpose that includes security and regulatory compliance. All orchestrated by the same software.

If I were given one guess, it would be that the medical purpose for authentication is to avoid accidentally corrupting the data, e.g., typing Alice's prescription into Bob's screen. But the authentication technology is distorted by a security purpose that may be unnecessary and is being regularly bypassed.

For instance, just having people enter their initials into every entry or screen would go a long way towards eliminating erroneous entry, without being too burdensome.
Actually, Nagel's initial point with "Wiiltbab" is the question of whether it is, in fact, like anything to be a bat. He noted that we are almost certain that it not like anything to be a rock, and definitely like something to be a human. He chose bats as an example of an interesting "midway" case to use for discussing, initially, the question of what might be required for it to "be like something to be an X".

He did certainly touch on the question of "if it is like something to be a bat, what is that like?" but it was a secondary question that follows only if you can first conclude that it is indeed like something to be a bat.
Yup. If you're doing almost anything in wood, a set of clamps is more useful than you'd think.

I made a table. The legs are all exactly the same length, but don't ask me what that exact length is - I eyeballed the height I wanted and then clamped all the legs together before cutting them.

Another tip for building things with legs - a 3-legged object is stable on any uneven surface while a 4-legged objects will wobble on uneven surfaces.

This is because 3 points make a plane, adding a 4th point that is not on that plane introduces a wobble.
I have a lot of experience using and building APIs, and I do want to switch to ML/AI in this space but I have no clue how. I don’t really care much about building them from scratch, but I want to be able to read code bases and comprehend it. So I guess a middle ground between using it and building it.

That may well be because the browser wants you to click the page before it allows the sound library to produce output.

I wrote a Firefox extension called JP-Hash, which gives you a hotkey that converts text in an input field into hash made up of romanized Japanese syllables (and thus usually easy to type, if you have to, and possibly easy to pronounce and memorize). It includes an upper case letter, a digit and a symbol.

I haven't made a comparison with GPU vs CPU. On GPU, my epochs were averaging about 20 minutes to complete, regardless of how many I had running concurrently.

There isn't any other hardware involved other than this one machine; I imagine there was some throttling involved, but I didn't notice it, really, but I think it's because my model isn't that complex.

-------

When I decided to try to do this, I had about 40% GPU usage while training one epoch, and the CPU load was around 35%.

When I added a parallel run, I was getting around 25% GPU load on the other process, and the CPU load went up about 10%.

The third run, I was getting about 9% GPU load on the process and the CPU load went up by another 5%.

-------

This isn't something that I plan on doing continuously either, but I was partly debugging some things and figured I could squeeze in some extra runs.

Thanks for the links to the distributed TensorFlow. I may eventually get around to doing that but at the moment I'm merely trying to validate an idea that I have at minimal cost, and happen to have this machine around practically doing nothing else.
> Smartcard + faceid?

You're missing the point.

The solution is for the tech people to stop thinking they're the center of the universe, and drop requirements that make no sense for their users.

In the case of the death certificate, that means dropping the extra authentication requirements for that computer application*, or just having the doctor print out the certificate and sign it, like it was always done.

* Software engineers suffer from a certain kind of brain rot where they assume the computer system itself is the last and only line of defense (so enforce onerous authentication requirements). In some cases that might be the right call, but in others is makes more sense to loosen the requirements and rely on other systems (e.g. auditing and after-the-fact investigation).

I was playing guitar for many years, and was always learning each scale separately. Let's say I knew A minor, F major, D pentatonic. It was taking a lot of time to learn and my playing was quite limited.

Then I've learned about all fourths guitar tuning.

The standard guitar tuning has two highest strings tuned half step down. Which is nice for some things. Makes it easy to play some open chord shapes. But completely breaks the pattern!

After the switch it was easy to see that major scale and all it's modes(Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian...) and all the keys where the same shape moving around.

With that I learned all the modes and keys of the major scale in a few days. When I start playing I just check where in the pattern I am and everything becomes clear.
I am. My email is with someone else, and I am trying to move everything else.

I am diversifying. But I'm still trying to mitigate the risk on this end too.

Indeed.

Flying cars are fundamentally a terrible idea. Certainly if humans are in control.

When a car breaks you pull over. When a plane breaks people die. In thd plane, and wherever the plane lands.

Car accidents are limited to roads and surrounds. Plane accidents can land on anything. Like, you know, tall buildings.

Road noise is a thing, but road noise attenuates quickly. Raise from the air attenuates slowly. Imagine living under the flight path to JFK. Now imagine it 24x7, 100 times louder. That'll be the quiet times...

We could talk about maintenence, fuel costs, collisions, drunk-flying, sober-moron-flying (you know the sweet, considerate, kind-hearted folks you see on the road everyday? Imagine them as pilots).

The reason we don't have flying cars is because they are a stupid idea. At every level. In every way.

Oh cool, not to further derail this thread but the music direction is interesting. I've also just gotten (back) into music production using an MPC One+ and I used https://www.audiblegenius.com/ for music theory+ear training. A frequent theme I've noticed in Youtube tutorials is a ton of >35 software engineers mentioning they are getting into music and feeling the need to say how old they are, as I guess the meme is learning music is for naive 20yr olds.
Identity and access management is a component of my work at a fintech. The argument isn’t lost on me. A death certificate is a powerful government signal, so while friction should be minimal so as to not be overly burdensome on the practitioner, it is not something you can be careless about from an identity perspective. It calls for strong provenance. If the technology is not transparent, that is a call to improve it to be so, not to ignore the requirements.

Doctors are also known for superiority complexes. Took forever just to get them to wash their hands to prevent contagion spread, historically speaking. They are not special snowflakes nor gods, but yet another stakeholder in a system. Their feedback should be used to improve systems as I mention above, to assist them but not block them. Change is inevitable.

Easiest way to avoid that wobble: get the legs to within 1 mm, add felt pad to the bottom of the legs. The pressure of the table will compress the felt and all four legs now contact the ground.
The new Paris métro
It has, but not because of ads or watch history. At some point over the past five years, the accuracy and immediacy of Google's search became a factor in the political stability of the US, and YouTube and Google search have been aggressively reduced to serving inert, ahistorical, commercially safe results. No monthly fee will fix that.

Non-English language search was largely unaffected until a year or two ago, but I guess tokenization has improved their ability to filter anything not on an allowlist to trend.
There are no known plans for Google shutting down Blogger.
That's a thoughtful comment. I don't recommend anything else by him, and since I read the book long ago, and outlined it, perhaps I forgot some insensitive material which didn't make it into the outline.

I wouldn't go near, nor recommend anything else he wrote or said on TV.
I disagree it's "settled science". There's mild evidence depakote (valproate) re-opens the critical period and allows improved pitch learning. Personally I like to avoid betting against neuroplasticity. Historically that pans out to be a bad bet again and again.

> No updates to Blogger have been documented since September 2020. Google has also moved away from Blogger for their own company blogs. For these reasons, Blogger may be at risk of shutting down.

> Archive Team did a discovery between February and May 2015, but did not begin downloading actual content until November 2023.
How exactly does this work? Is this farming out the work of wget-ing URLs, followed by making those contents available on archive.org Wayback Machine?

It seems trivial to poison the uploaded content. And there's no way to validate that the content has not been tampered with in flight, unless a redundant fetch were performed in a trusted environment, at which point farming out the work serves no purpose.

Secondly, this doesn't solve the discoverability problem. Sure, after Blogger shuts down, a particular webpage on a blog might be preserved. But you will only be able to view its content 10 years in the future if you happen to already know the exact URL where it used to exist.

Does he have any vision at all? When my dad's vision started dwindling years ago, we got him a tabletop magnifier, sort of like this one:

https://cdn.allaboutvision.com/images/ev-merlin-book-750x500...

Dad used his mostly for reading, but it would work equally well for hitting buttons on a phone (but obviously is not portable). He didn't need to use his for the phone since he already had a big button amplified phone for his landline.

Back then it had a camera that fed a CRT, I'm sure there are much better devices today, or you could probably make your own with a webcam and a big screen monitor or TV.
I don't think it has anything to do with security. These places have always had a fully armed guard(s) and lots of concrete columns, metal gates, etc.

The store near me had a lobby about 10x100ft. There was a simple glass door separating it from the shoppping area which was just counters around the perimiter and pegboards on the wall.

The shopping area at this location sometimes had more than one employee working, sometimes they would handle two patients at a time. Perhaps 3 people at most back at a time.

They just removed the wall and pushed the counters and pegboards up into the lobby. From outside the building you look inside and every wall and shelf is filled with product.

I really do think it was just above moving more product.
Given that we already know that there was a conspiracy (by the now-ousted OpenAI board to remove Sam Altman), and that people here on HN have been theorizing about this for almost a week now, your definition makes everyone who commented about it a "conspiracy theorist".

Although you wouldn't know it from the documentation, both the GK10X/GK11X silicon had serious problems with the global memory barrier instruction that had to be fixed in software after launch. All global memory barriers had to be implemented entirely as patched routines, several thousand times slower than the underlying, broken silicon. Amusingly, that same hardware defect forced the L1 cache to be turned off on the first two keplers. I suspect if you ran the same benchmark on GK110 and vs the GK210 used in the article, you'd be surprised to see no effect from the L1 cache at all.
