Someone will probably flag this because it’s not Tech, but I’m inclined to believe there’s a YCombinator startup working on this.

No it didn't. The economy was growing at the time of the vote and continued to grow after it, a bit faster even. Unemployment hit record lows.

You may be thinking of the predictions of the remain campaign which very heavily featured the idea that even the vote itself, without any actual legal changes, would trigger a recession due to "uncertainty". But that was wrong, it never happened.

Check the trade stats for yourself. Trade is down but that's because of the huge damage of lockdowns and other terrible policies. Brexit would show up as a reduction in trade with the EU faster than elsewhere, but that didn't happen, the proportion remained about the same. This data comes from the government itself. Seeing any Brexit effect in the recorded data just isn't possible.

That's surprising given that even most leave campaigners accepted that there would be some impact, no but in the end it seems the single market was basically a mirage. It never did much for services which is the bulk of the UK economy.

Again, if you don't believe me, check the data for yourself.
YouTube replaced a bunch of music videos with higher resolution replacements at some point, without changing the URL.

Yes, but, as you say, reimplementing Home Assistant wouldn't really be that valuable. What you might want is a (very dumb) e-ink display with a touch panel, which can maybe display an image and register touches. Then, that can interface with Home Assistant to make touch panels. That would be much more manageable as a project, and very useful. Bonus points for physical buttons.

I might do this myself, hmm.

Technically yes, but that’s a bit like saying rocket engine patents are about the vector of hot gasses. There are a lot of issues with creating one chip that both emits and receives light which are not present in a transmission model. In particular, if you look at the actual claims in the case, this is what many of the areas which were infringed upon deal with.
It isn't about productivity, that's just the excuse they use to sell it to the masses.

Things it's actually about include, but are not limited to:

- money locked up in real estate

- pressure from local governments to get employee $ back into transit and local shops (with threats of revoking tax breaks)

- soft lay-offs after years of overhiring due to cheap money (you don't need to pay severance if employees aren't happy and voluntarily leave)
If You Think That Google Maps Is Free, Think Again
Worked on a homegrown Mac wsywyg editor back in the 90s. Arrays worked perfectly. If you are assuming that files fit in memory, using BlockMove() was very, very fast indeed.

I can see if you need to edit multi-gig log files and things will not fit in memory, but for small files, array is totally fine.

There were other tricks that were done back then to keep the number of single char inserts down to a minimum while typing. Like reading chars into a small buffer during fast typing and then inserting all the keystrokes at once as soon as you had the time.
I would argue intellectual property laws are bad at the outset, and that the concept of intellectual property is praxeologically unsound. What right does a person have to restrict the progress and free will of another (or society for that matter) simply because they came up with an idea "first"?

The very idea of intellectual property though, you own your mind, you own your thoughts, sure. You can own a document with the details of your idea, and you can physically restrict others from seeing your property. What does it mean for an idea to be property though? Why are government resources invested in protecting something that private companies and individuals have the responsibility of protecting themselves?

I really like GNU Make because it has a hidden superpower: the "-j" parameter enables instant, easy parallelization. I have a project with many subprojects and I use "-j16" to invoke the same command in all of the subprojects, 16 at a time. It saves a lot of time and it works for all commands that don't touch other subprojects.

Like you, I use Make as a front end to lower level build tools. It seems to fit that role well.
Measuring in weeks is not good enough, because too terrestrial. At least should mark on figures Moon phases (at least extremes), because, all life on Earth synchronized on tides, because water level changed not on shore only, but underground water also affected by tides.

And with knowing of Moon phases, you are armed and powerful.

Considering Moon phases, you could make the most from most fruitful part of Moon circle (when water level near top and raising), and avoid hassles from transitional part (from raise to decrease, especially, when combined with eclipses, which themselves could multiply tide near to twice), and better use decreasing part of circle.

Plus, good thing, to add Solar magnetic activity circles, which also relatively easy to calculate.

Yes, must admit, for most young people, Solar magnetic activity is mostly unnoticeable, but extreme parts of these, could even affect modern technology, for example, it could create potentials in railroads and in power lines, or even in large buildings, not too much, just about ten volts, but enough for wrong activation of some mechanisms or to trigger safety systems and to turn off part of railroad or power grid.

Also, these harmful potentials could affect copper communication lines.

And sure, Solar magnetic activity affect Earth weather, which is not so much important for terrestrial civilizations, but could very hard affect sea transport.
Amazing document; these are the sorts of things i find in my own experience as i try to help my sister out of poverty.

I'm very glad that these sort of papers come out and are reasoned about. The "psychology" is perhaps the ONLY aspect that keeps poverty going, and it's made worse by people removing agency, introducing pointless stress, and in general just poo-pooing any attempts to climb out of the pit.
That' not the complete story. Apple basically screwed Massimo in getting Massimo to spill their guts on their sensor tech promising them an licesing/partnership and instead of following through, they decided to cease any licensing deal and instead poach the team to build that tech inhouse instead of licensing it.

It's known in SV as "brain fucking". A lot of big companies do this to small companies where they promise a acquisition/licensing/funding deal in order to get presentations with confidential info on the core tech, and then just use their massive war chest to build that core tech themselves without compensating the smaller player for having reveal the keys to the kingdom.
But ZFS doesn't demand that users be aware of holes in files. You can just call `seek()` and `read()` to anywhere, and ZFS will transparently provide zeros to fill the holes. Linux also allows software to become "hole-aware" using `lseek()`, but that's an optimisation that software can opt into, but can equally just ignore.

The glitch in this case was a failure to correctly track dirty pages that have yet to be written to disk, and thus reading the on-disk data, rather than the data in-memory data within the dirty page. I just so happens this issue only appears in the code that's responsible for responding to queries about holes from software that's explicitly asking to know about the holes. ZFS itself never had any issues keeping track of the holes, the bookkeeping always converged on the correct state, it's just that during that convergence it was momentarily possible to be given old metadata about holes (i.e. what's currently on disk), rather than the current metadata about holes (i.e. what's currently only in-memory, and about to be written to disk).

But if the costs can be passed on then that’s a means for emitters to differentiate on cost. If manufacturer A emits more and passes the tax onto the consumer, manufacturer B can undercut on them on price if they’re more efficient.

Right now there’s minimal financial benefit to being more carbon efficient. If anything it’s disincentivised because efficiency is itself costly, so it’s cheaper to just emit.
No because "we" don't pay academics, universities do. It's their decision to hire more professors instead of paying the existing ones more, it's their decision to create siloed departments etc. The system has plenty of money, but universities and grant agencies allocate it very badly despite being mostly staffed by academics and ex academics.
It's way too good a word to be left unused! ;-) That whole episode is hilarious tbh
> Rather the descendants of those 1,280 individuals out-breed and out-warred all other hominid / human groups.

Or maybe they out-prosocialed, cooperated for much higher productivity, reproduction (not to mention loyalty), and thrived while the other hominid groups killed and stole from each other.

Edit: Also, there's always the possibility the authors already addressed your question - the more obvious the possibility, the more likely (I don't know in this case). The paper:

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq7487
Hmm, I'd like to know more about the bugs and not updated results. It seems that all the bugs that were there long ago have been fixed (and even with some improvements). And the results show the latest version's performance. Especially since S3-FIFO shows very good results, in fact, inferior only to the adaptive version of W-TinyLFU on S3 and DS1 traces.

And about lock-free queues I don't agree, what they do with the implementation can be seen on the example of theine Reads 100% graph in the otter repository, if it wasn't there, it would be equal in speed to ristretto. And the BP-Wrapper technique actually has a huge engineering plus: it allows you to focus on optimizing different components of the system individually and easily make changes to the eviction policy that lock-free queues can't give to the developer.
I would understand the argument that the office doc file format should be public and understandable, but I don't see an argument that the program itself should be open.
xPrize Launches $101M Healthspan Competition to Drive Healthier Aging for All
>the risk from taking vaccine is much smaller than from covid infection

Does that matter if you get covid anyway?
For an individual it is a formula of should_vaccinate = (risk_of_getting_covid_19 * bad_outcomes) - (bad_outcomes_from_vaccines + risk_of_getting_covid_19_after_vaccine * bad_outcomes_of_covid_19_after_vaccine) > 0

On the group level you would have to consider the damage on the group level as well from not getting vaccinated due to increase of covid-19 spread, and increased hospitalisation levels.

On the global communication and messaging level I agree you should tell everyone to vaccinate as you can't easily provide everyone with those calculators. And not to mention people not being able to come up with correct values for those factors themselves.
In the post PATA days the available data connectors all map to disks 1:1, it knows how many power connectors would be needed for them. Expansion cards could probably supply power as well as data? I suppose other uses for those connectors would need to provide shims, much like the molex shims they use now.
I could see Gates doing it.
I think any video about it would spoil it, because you wouldn't make a video about a trivial number problem.
Great article.

It's getting harder and harder to find meaning when all notions of truth and shared reality are being destroyed.

Each of us is already processing oceans of new data daily, and technology like deepfakes and chatgpt will create data faster-and-faster than we can humanly process it. It's becoming impossible to collect enough facts firsthand to come up with any humanly/scientifically reasoned model or philosophy that answers "what does it all add up to?" with a high degree of confidence and reliability.

Maybe the answer is 42. Maybe it's the multiverse. Any answer has to allow all of these ideas to simultaneously exist.

Interesting food for thought.

Thanks for the article.
Certainly exists, though I think it's the minority. It's generally not difficult to tell who is happy or not from their choices, too, and I suspect in such cases the scenario may be reversed. E.g. the graphic designer who is content in life, entertaining the stressed account manager with curiosity.

This is also the vision of ourselves we love to see in stories and movies, since it associates low income with passion and success with unhappiness, even though you can have both (or neither).

Make is declarative - that's roughly the point of it. You give it rules and dependencies and variables and it's supposed to work out what to do.

If your build is extremely simple and fast then it cannot add value.
I'd love to see some 12VO mini-itx boards and SFX or flex PSUs. The most challenging thing when it comes to building a small form factor PC is routing the ATX power cable and that connector is so stiff god forbid you ever need to disconnect it to do some maintenance. Small form factor PCs have benefited a lot since the move away from IDE drives but things could still be significantly improved to get more power into a small space.

Just is fundamentally less capable but by extension less complex, and that’s by design. It’s essentially a way to group your shell scripts for a given project. It’s somewhat similar to make in terms of syntax but it doesn’t do anything make does like tracking whether a task needs to be rerun
Choice quotes:

> We have more than doubled the global life expectancy in the last 100 years, but the length of our healthy lives has not increased at the same rate. There’s currently a 12-year gap between U.S. life expectancy and health expectancy, meaning people are living longer, but spend a longer period of late life in poorer health..

> Before 2050, the world's population over 60 years old is expected to almost double from 12% to 22% – creating urgency to find novel solutions for healthy aging. We believe XPRIZE’s unique approach can incentivize necessary breakthroughs to extend healthspan and change the way we experience aging for everyone.

The competition is further described at https://www.xprize.org/prizes/healthspan, and I'm quite excited.
What any of that got to do with the bug described in the article? Presumably every filesystem is responsible for tracking the content of sparse files, and where holes are. That's not something the Linux kernel is going to give you for free, the FS needs tell the kernel which pages should be mapped to block address on disk and which pages should be simulated as continuous blocks of zeros with no on-disk representation.
On the 1x vs. 10x point, I believe the unit quantity is derived by finding the manufacturing costs (in CO2) for a given process and then extrapolating. No one is counting the grams of CO2 of your cheeseburger. They're counting the CO2 of the whole farm.
With linear types alone you don't have any aliasing. Borrowing is a controlled way to recover some aliasing while retaining the benefits of linearity.

The cheapest Kindle is routinely on sale for $60-70. And spec wise there is really no comparison. The Kindle has a backlight. 1448x1072 resolution (compared to this one's 800x480). Battery that can last a month. USB-C. 16GB storage. Bluetooth. It's a very capable device. The fact that this one is made by an "upstart" means nothing. You have to compete on price and quality to be successful. Plus if this company goes out of business and shuts their servers you are left with a $150 paperweight.

This report from the UK Parliament, says otherwise: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-...

The report admits that the trade was affected by Brexit and other factors and it's difficult to separate one cause from the other. The report also notes that the way data is tracked and compiled changed since Brexit.

The trade with the EU in pounds was highest in 2022, and lower in 2020 and 2021 compared to 2019. The report says it's not adjusted to inflation. In terms of % of the total trade, it's the lowest ever in 2022.

Economic incentives aren’t aligned between cow-calf operations and feedlots. There may be a significant difference in feed efficiency between calves. Some may turn grain to meat at a 2:1 ratio and others at a 4:1 ratio but ranchers are paid the same for each calf. A way to cheaply identify calves that are more feed efficient or align incentives would be worth some money.

>It increases salaries for everyone.

Not always and not for everyone. Follow me: Currently there are two players in this space competing for talent, Apple and Massimo. This competition results in higher wages and more innovation. What do you think will happen to wages and innovation if Apple just guts Massimo(or any other company) and now there's only one player on the market, Apple? Now Apple can pay you whatever they want because you have nowhere else to go.

How do I know this? Because years and years ago, two major semiconductor companies had offices in my home town. And workers would get pay raises by jumping ship between the two. A few years ago, one of the bigger corps. bought the other smaller one becoming an even bigger behemoth, so the offices had to merge, leading to layoffs in the name of cutting the redundant jobs and "optimizing efficiency". What do you think happened to the wages at the new giant company? Did they go up or not?

So, I question the thought process of HNers who support that Apple crushing a smaller player out of a market somehow leads to higher salaries for everyone. If you want higher salaries, you need more players in that market, not one giant monopolist. This isn't Apple vs some equal Goliath like Google or Microsoft who can afford to fight fire with fire.
