They were called locusts in my area as well. Wasn't until college zoology that I learned we were calling them the wrong thing.

Anyways, I had a dog that would watch from the back porch and when he saw one flying low across the back yard would run out and catch it out of mid air. The things would be flapping and croaking about until they were crushed mid-swallow. It was a gross but impressive feat to behold.

(Blogpost Author) Yup. We've been thinking about colocation for a while, so we've just been building these up. Basically all that's left is to make our volume storage bulletproof. We'll do that as we're moving stateless workloads to bare metal early next year, and ideally be off GCP EOY latest
But it's not "fixing" the problem, it's papering over the problem by piling tech debt on top of tech debt.

GPT-4 gets the answer of 2 on the first try (https://chat.openai.com/share/0cf623c1-453f-4abc-a6f9-74f1af...):

> Q:

> How many groups are there of order 6?

> A:

> There are two groups of order 6.

> To determine this, we consider the possible structures of a group of order 6. Since 6 = 2 × 3, where both 2 and 3 are prime numbers, the groups of order 6 can either be cyclic or a direct product of smaller cyclic groups.

> Cyclic Group of Order 6: There is always one cyclic group for any given order. The cyclic group of order 6 is denoted as 𝐶₆ or ℤ₆, which is generated by an element of order 6.

> Non-Cyclic Group: The other possibility is a non-cyclic group. By Sylow's theorems, the number of elements of order 2 must divide 3 and be congruent to 1 modulo 2, and the number of elements of order 3 must divide 2 and be congruent to 1 modulo 3. This means there must be one Sylow 2-subgroup and one Sylow 3-subgroup. The non-cyclic group of order 6 is the symmetric group 𝑆₃, which is the group of all permutations of three objects. It is non-abelian and can also be thought of as the semi-direct product of 𝐶₂ and 𝐶₃.

> So, there are two groups of order 6: the cyclic group ℤ₆ and the symmetric group 𝑆₃.
There will be limited domestic support to invade someone over the manufacture of solar panels. The sun isn’t getting blocked by anyone either.

Your point reinforces the parent — geopolitical control is the reason for nuclear investment due to an inability to compete on manufacturing.

We rarely see the broader picture being discussed as the science and engineering is thought to dominate, but the problem is more geopolitical than people want to acknowledge.

We will solve clean energy if and only if we don’t lose control
Except nix doesn't support Windows, which is best reason to use conda (having to support Windows).
I see, thanks. So basically a suite of networking hardware solutions? What I found the most confusing is that they sort of differentiate UniFi from WiFi. E.g. "Instant WiFi for retail POS" - yes, like any other WiFi router? Or is this box going to connect to a global mesh that's called UniFi?..
For what it’s worth, Ubiquiti supports WireGuard now, and it’s very easy to setup:

The danger in your comment is that people who are primarily "working" because they want to play on someone else's dollar with some new, frivolous tech - from the perspective of what their business actually needs - are going to be insulted by this. Good luck.
In the same vein, I'd name Tornado (www.tornadoweb.org). Also rather small and comprehensible, but with full async support that's evolved extremely nicely. Generally I love how well-designed and maintained it is.

Hopping on the Samsung hate train.

Purchased a washer and dryer set when our old unit was shot and had multiple issues within two years. Also purchased an oven with a similar outcome.

Fortunately my tv is going strong ish. Had to have the mainboard replaced around 4-5 years and patiently waiting for the day it won't power on. The TV situation isn't as horrible with my only lasting gripe being hdmi-cec getting out of sync and only full power loss for 15-30+ minutes seems to fix it.

Quite interesting. So epileptic brains are re-using a mechanism from the sleep cycle to defend against daytime seizures [potentially].... But at a cost of cognitive ability. I like how the brain can adaptively rewire stuff to defend itself. Just an anecdote, I find that my epilepsy causes me to drastically fall off a cognitive cliff at a certain point during e.g. a long meeting, and I guess this is a kind of gentle defence mechanism which I tend to call an 'aura' or precursor to a seizure. I like that the brain can give you notice of such a thing, enabling you to escape a bad situation.
Yup, pretty much why I swapped mine. I think the final nail of the coffin was when they were like, “ok, we need to remove the free shipping so we can stay competitive without increasing prices”. Then a couple months later “jk, we gotta increase the prices too” (surprise to no one).

Ask HN: Has anyone tried turning Web Content into static documents, like PDFs?
I'm aware of the good projects SingleFile, SingleFileZ, etc to archive a webpage into a file, but I'm thinking more like an actual dedicated, usable, sharable, hackable document format for sending Web Content around, but not over HTTP? I know MHTML, but I'm thinking something that more maintains visual fidelity and usability (up to what has been archives). Seems using Web Content an an authoring medium and sending these documents around could be a nice alternatives to PDFs but in a similar market? Where HTTP serving such Web Content, simply becomes another peer distribution medium for content that exists and is separate to the medium of exchange. These docs could be sent over email, messaging, all kinds of ways. Seems it would possibly offer a richer, more interactive, and potentially easier-to-hack/author alternative to PDFs, and other prop formats. I tried looking for this but didn't find anything. Is this idea fundamentally broken in ways that aren't obvious?
Does a LLM necessarily generate words and phrases with a similar distribution to human authors? Maybe people use “zipf’s law” but today’s LLMs can’t exactly model that. The result being some flattening of the distribution of generated phrases.

They should be deported immediately. Imagine believing they're actually seeking asylum and not just opportunistic economic migrants. Every nation in the world has a secure border but for some reason the US can't. Wonder why.
For some unholy, around 2004, reason I wrote a template library that encoded all of the crystallographic groups as integer template arguments; I guess the idea was to allow automated mapping of any point in the unit cell to its canonical cell position. That'd let us compute crystallographic distances in something like O(log n) time, rather than O(n). (The usual way is to copy one of the points to every equivalent point in the unit cell, calculate every distance in all directions, and keep the minimum: 200+ distance calculations in the worst case; the copies were made via sequences of 4x4 matrix multiplies.)

Anyways, I deployed this software, and someone had a misstep, and the error message crashed the mainframe. I relayed this story to Bjarne around 2006, and he didn't find it funny — just frustrating.

My experience of the language has been similar, including the bit about it no longer being part of my life.

For a long time, the complaint was that it was being used as nothing more than a "better C", though in my experience, the worst abuses came from among those who were determined to use every feature.

In the beginning, the fact that early C++ was a superset of C is probably what led to its widespread adoption, but the legacy of that decision, particularly with regard to pointers and pointer arithmetic, has been a multiplier of complexity.

Ramaco has numerous prospects, one of them paid out when testing and proving: https://ramacoresources.com/critical-minerals-rees/

Various outlets have reported the basics, eg: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230503005966/en/

and: https://www.mining-technology.com/news/ramaco-operations-bro...

and, for those that like the inside gritty details, there's a completed Technical Report: https://ramacoresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Weir-... 78 pages from May 2023 (Ten minutes reading ... if you read a bunch of these things).

This is not an Economic Feasibility Study (which comes laterr) - it's a report on exploration results with estimates of amount and type of stuff in the ground.

An EF Study will go on from there and determine cost of extraction against market prices and projections and estimate processing costs via various means (third party or capital investment in processing plant).

These are useful resources for electrification and a renewable future .. the amount of waste by product with REE processing is pretty high and generally skated over .. it's everything you get from Coal Mining ("Do you know how much radaition from coal .. etc") and a whole bunch more.

Do you know by any chance if wiim is capable of streaming music independently, without relying on a separate computer? I.e. my smart Denon speaker can stream Spotify, so if I start playing on my laptop through that speaker and then close the laptop, streaming continues. I don't have to keep my laptop running. This doesn't work for Apple Music and I am looking for a device that can stream Apple Music without an additional computer.

AI, War and Transdisciplinary Philosophy
The funny thing is, India always wanted to be an equal partner/ally of the US, since its independence, but was continuously rebuffed. Every move of India was an effort to get close with the West. India owes a bit to FDR and Truman for applying pressure on the UK to decolonize, and the American public for being staunch supporters of Indian independence. The Green Revolution in India, crucial for creating Indian food security, was spearheaded by a US govt programme and Norman Borlaugh. The IITs were created through largely Western funding and collaboration (with the exception of IIT Bombay, which was created with Soviet funding). India (under Nehru) helped convince most of the West Indies and Africa to join the UK Commonwealth, in spite of their own torrid histories of being colonized.

But then USA decides to do stuff like supporting a belligerent China (which had the infamy of invading every one of its neighbors), supporting Pakistan openly (which was an easier puppet because of the military rule, unlike India), assassinating people in the Indian nuclear programme (allegedly), silently supporting the Bangladeshi genocide. And in spite of all this, India didn't choose to go to the Soviet sphere of influence, but tried to create one based on mutual partnership, a sphere that remains the largest today (the Non-Aligned Movement).

All in all, the USA and India share a lot of common goals and objectives, but the US must realize that India wants to be a strongly independent partner, like say France, and not a puppet partner like the UK or Germany.

"The problem with society is all these people"
> In computers your series of 1s is not infinite, there's a modulus that steps in. And this analysis depends on the modulus being an exact power of the base.

That isn't quite correct. The series of 1s really is conceptually infinite. That's why we have sign extension. The analysis (of the sum of all natural powers of 2) will work for any modulus that is an integral power of 2, including a modulus where the integer to which 2 is raised is infinitely large. Such an infinite modulus will still be evenly divided by a finite power of 2 -- as well as by itself -- and so it will disappear whenever you're working in any finite modulus that is a power of 2 -- or when you are working modulo 2^ℕ. The modulus of 2^ℕ will prevent any distinct finite integers from falling into the same equivalence class.

This is what enables you to have an infinite series of leading 1s, or leading patterns, without problems.

I have been trying newer languages these two years(rust,zig,nim,golang,dart) and I'm more than ever firmly believe c and (modern) c++ are all I need to get job done, fast.

The ecosystem, the no-FFI-needed reuse of so many libraries, books and tutorials, are just too valuable, yes c/c++ are not perfect but I failed to find things better.

MISRA's new c++ and c books are great to help me to write safe code as well.

I would put the difference as that a calculus problem is complex, requiring many different mathematical calculations to complete the full problem and arrive at the answer. One perspective might be to see each of those calculations as different facets of the same problem. I could see how someone could believe it was a tautology.

One could also take the view that a multifaceted problem would be one where different people could arrive at multiple valid conclusions, each facet consisting of an approach that one might take to the problem, as in "There is more than one way to skin a cat." I could see in that sense, that a multifaceted problem need not be complex, and vice versa.

In this way, arriving at a definition of "complex and multifaceted" that satisfies everyone is a complex and multifaceted problem.
Ask HN: Highlighting LLMs as Productivity Tools on Resumes
I'm facing a dilemma: my productivity has significantly improved since I began incorporating LLMs into my workflow. However, I'm uncertain about how to mention this on my resume. Some very noteworthy tasks I completed were made possible only with the assistance of LLMs, and I want to mention these accomplishments on my resume. However, I don't want to omit the fact that they were completed with the assistance of LLMs, but I'm concerned that this will only make me look incompetent. What's your take on this issue?

Solarpunk brutalism
Way too many countries have a make in (country name) policy. The policy is mostly an encouragement to set up local manufacturing with capital, knowledge or technology support, rather than a full-on push to only use goods produced locally. In India's case, from what I've seen, it's mostly a push back against Chinese imports for low value goods like plastic products, metalware, etc.

> Scott Ogletree, a lecturer in landscape and wellbeing at the University of Edinburgh and the report’s lead author, said that green spaces had little impact on telomere length when participants lived in low-income or segregated areas, raising new questions about the relationship between human health and the environment. “It does seem that the neighborhood context” of pollution and segregation “might be washing out any benefit we see from the green space on this particular aspect of people’s health.”

You don't really need to do much explicit memory handling in modern C++ - smart pointers feel similar to garbage collected languages like Java or Go, with the occasional extra '*' I guess.

Comparing language tooling to Rust is surely controversial when compiles in Rust take an order of magnitude longer than any other language. Sure, Rust's tooling has some nice features but let's not ignore this very important elephant in the room.

It really depends on what you are using it for. The hierarchical semantics of XML makes hierarchal data so much easier to read, write, and query than anything you are likely to come up with in json. I’d go as far to argue that the whole reason we don’t have a modern equivalent of Flash is because composability is busted because of the inadequate hierarchical semantics of json.
