To add, I'm not saying I wont do it. I just don't have funds for it currently. I'll save up and make sure to get it completed for the sanity of the many like you :D As stated previously I truly on every aspect test every method before implementation, I test features, I test REAL failures and scenarios like actually having a box running and power shutting down during a large transaction on nodes,I'm saying not virtually actually shutting power down and seeing if the system can persist. I did a lot and continue to for my own confidence. If it's not enough for you and others I do completely understand your reasoning hence mine to save for the Jepsen.
On the GPU especially, having the data aligned to 16 bytes is huge just due to the nature of what a GPU is optimized for and the way memory access is designed. The speedup on x86_64 isn't as huge, but the aligned load instructions for SSE/AVX registers are still quite a bit faster than the unaligned load instructions. It can really add up when you're processing thousands of vectors every frame. The cache lines will only go so far when a single 3D affine transformation matrix (floatx4x4) already takes up an entire cache line by itself.

I think it was in 2016 that I've used CoffeeScript for one project for some months. With daily usage I ended up acquiring taste and ended up enjoying it.

For LittleSmallScript I knew the syntax taste will go to the roof. And you're making a great point, indeed parts of a program written with Smalltalk syntax would have a lot degree of reuse.
It's unlikely (though possible!) that the person who is sad in the house his mom paid a seven figure downpayment on is going hungry.

neat idea, but horrendous font selection. the upper case "I" in deletedIds is indistinguishable from lower case "L". also, didn't like the feel of typos. typically, I know when I make a typo and immediately hit the delete key to fix it. the fact that there's no indication of the typo visually other than the highlight stops progressing is counter-intuitive. I would much rather see the incorrect chars typed as is but then maybe have the highlighting change color. also agree with a sibling comment about unnecessary white spaces, while the writing code in a minimized format is also counter intuitive. hitting enter at line endings is muscle memory just as much as cmd-s/ctrl-s after completing blocks is for me.

edit: after taking the first attempt and then writing this post, I went back to try it again. It said 6 wpm. Tried it again, and it said 5 wpm. That's clearly BS. I thought the first one was an accidental key press that started the timer while I made my comment here. But after restarting it to get an even slower ridiculously wrong time just really makes me mad I wasted my time.

The world has moved on though to opinionated tools, and Rust isn't even the furthest in that direction (That would be Go). The equivalent of those two lines in Cargo.toml would be this example of a basic configuration from the jacoco-maven-plugin: https://www.jacoco.org/jacoco/trunk/doc/examples/build/pom.x... - That's 40 lines in the <plugin> section to do the "defaults".

Yes, you could add a load of config for files to include/exclude from coverage and so on, but the idea that that's a norm is way more common in Java projects than other languages. Like here's some example Cargo.toml files from complicated Rust projects:

My favorite personal anecdote was when I drove ~90 minutes to a friend's house in January so we could use his '98 Tahoe to pick up a king sized bed from Ikea. But we couldn't actually close the back doors with all of the boxes in there. It was quite chilly. When we got back to his house, I said "you know what, let's at least try to fit this in my (2007) Honda Fit. If it works, I'm warm, you don't have to waste 180 minutes on a round trip (with the first half freezing), and I save a bunch in gas." He thought I was crazy and it would never work. But wouldn't you know, with the passenger seat folded back we could get everything in with the hatch closed. I was able to drive the bed straight home and save my friend a lot of hassle!
In his 2017 work Psychopolitics, Byung-Chul Han writes of how power today has grown reliant on manipulating psychological states, uniquely made possible by technologies of control. Its symptoms are of the mind, like burnout and diseases of despair, coupled with addiction and compulsion. Understanding psychopolitics helps us to reframe the time in which we live, where one’s mental state has become a leading place of conflict.

Fair. There are also differences that come from length of exposure, though?

I don't want to start doomerism. I was just somewhat personally surprised at how many things have plastic linings. I do want companies testing, but I don't think it is good for mental health to get alarmed at all possibilities.
the problem is we have as much papers saying it's useful, than papers explaining it does not work, and even got people killed because it has the known side-effect of affecting the heart. not being a medic myself, how are we supposed to know the truth ?
To each his own, I'd prefer they be taken care of by locals who actually personally care for them, know them, and are invested in their lives.
That is actually best practice for cloud-hosted services. Traffic spikes can in general cause auto-threat-detection to panic. The only difference for the big service providers is their thresholds are higher.

(The maddening thing is that some of the circuit breakers are undocumented).
Ask HN: How do you ethically promote your work
Social media has consolidated people's attention onto a small number of platforms, e.g. Google/Youtube, Facebook/Instagram, X, Reddit, etc. Over the years, I've slowly divorced myself from each of these platforms (most recently Reddit where I was a moderator of r/MachinLearning), due to concerns that I'm helping entrench these tech giants.

How do you promote yourself and your work without utilizing these popular platforms? For example, many people I've seen who left Twitter for Mastodon are back on X.

I've been thinking of starting a blog, but it's hard to attract attention without posting on a widely used platform. My goal isn't to attract lots of attention for attention's sake, but merely to be part of the conversation, which seems harder and harder to do as I've lowered my digital footprint.

I'm generally a pragmatist, which makes me think maybe I should go back; why make things more difficult for myself. On the other hand I have a strong desire to take active measures to address concerns like media/tech consolidation, hence why I've deactivated my accounts.

Happy to hear any thoughts you have!

>“Would you pay higher taxes to allow the government to set up a network of publicly funded childcares?”

This is a pretty good example of the scaling problem with with transferring voluntary personal work to socialized and financialized government work.

Some activities benefit from economies of scale and others do not.

It is more efficient to hire dedicated garbage man for a curbside trash pickup then if everyone took their trash to the dump. However, it would be terribly inefficient to have garbage men following people around picking up their trash.
Half of the population would always have to be on shift following the other half, and 100% of the population would have to work as garbage men.

Is there a economic term for this phenomenon of inverse economies of scale?

Parent comment included that exact sentence as a part of their question. I'm not sure why you think quoting the same thing again would provide an answer.

To answer the parent comment: The enzyme discovered is what converts bilirubin into urobilinogen, which degrades into urobilin, so your guess was along the correct lines.
The petrol-powered F-150 is too big for cities. Cities should be mostly for pedestrians, cyclists, delivery, emergency, and mass transit vehicles.

I grew up in a rural farming area. The people who seemed most reasonable had big trucks and other heavy equipment (and/or work animals) for utility on the farm, and small efficient cars for trips to town.

Insisting on idling one's massive farm machine in front of a preschool smells like posturing and costly romanticism, in resources and health.

There are lots of extremely-cheap kids TV shows on places like Netflix or D+[1], many of which (on Netflix) are imports from e.g. Turkey with bad dubbing, that have plots so inane it's hard to express just how inane they are. Everyone's always acting stressed out and emoting over-the-top (so they hold kids' attention) but nothing is happening, all the conflict is over nothing, anything resembling an actual problem basically just solves itself. This is a very high proportion of the lower-tier shows on those services. It's such amazingly content-free writing that it's hard to believe much of it pre-dates a time when it could have been LLM-penned. [EDIT] Example of the kind of thing I mean: in some of the cheap Disney Tinkerbell/fairy shows, you'll have several characters standing (or floating) around talking, every line delivered with this high-emotion concerned tone, and this will go on quite a while, but when you, as an adult, think about what you're hearing, you'll realize that practically no information is being exchanged, most of the sentences contain no information or are repeating the same stuff for the fourth or fifth time. It's weird filler that achieves a sense of urgency and importance purely by how the lines are delivered, there's nothing going on.

And that's before even considering factors like providing educational or positive-role-model value, just a sheer "is the script, like... a story, with characters?" level. Or the animation quality (universally garbage, of course).

[1] Not even getting into the absolute insanity of Youtube—look up some of the kid-targeted "story"-type Minecraft machinama on there to see some of the most uncanny "narrative" ever, tons of them go on and on and on with the trappings of a story but no actual story, just things happening one after another and weird nebulous goals that never seem to get any closer, like some kind of drug-fueled automatic-writing experiment, it's a friggin' fever dream. And that's before you get to the extremely weird Youtube crap aimed at kids.
Because it's of interest to hackers? I don't really see how maintenance is important here, no one is going to base their business on such a project anyway. There are often submissions about content created decades ago, so being recent isn't a requirement either.
^^^ this 100%. One person's activist is another person's lobbyist. Lobbying is an efficient way to bring up issues to your elected representatives.

Also, the pay for lobbyists (and also staffers) is kinda bleh tbh factoring YoE. A new grad SWE or PM can make more than a lobbyist who grinded as a staffer for a decade.

Going from $30k to $150k is nice, but doing that after earning $30k for 10 years and then earning $150k in a city where CoL is higher than SF sucks.
Can't remember where I saw this now but IIRC in an interview AOC said she doesn't really enjoy serving in Congress all that much and wasn't sure how long she'd be doing it for. Could always just be saying that for effect, of course, but I'd imagine both AOC and MTG could quit tomorrow, get jobs as on-air analysts on cable news networks and make significantly more money (and probably have a better quality of life).
The metal in cans would react with certain foods or chemicals in food in often far worse ways than anything the plastic will do. There's likely no packaging material that wouldn't make any impact on its contents.
I could not find the remote to my TV this morning and attempted to use my iPhone instead. By the time I arrived at the correct UI my 3 yr old had already found a PS4 controller and was able to control the TV and navigate to where he wanted to go... I only needed to notch up the volume.

Assistive devices are necessary for a large audience, as they allow users to leverage their strengths. Just as my 3yr old beat my phone speed with a game controller, users will be able to type faster than me with this keyboard.

It is nice to have a single device that tries to do it all, but interacting with flat UI buttons in a 2D plane of light and glass is limited to a very small set of sensory inputs and therefore cumbersome for anyone to use. There is physically no way around this HCI problem without adding additional hardware. Thanks for working to bridge the gap!
...I assumed that was assumed :)
Just my two cents, but I've always viewed FOMO and the ad-based algorithm as two sides of a feedback loop.

FOMO is the psychological response that the ad-based algorithm is playing off of, neither one is the problem in and of itself.

I think about this all the time. There's a very good reason we call cellular processes molecular machines. Your cells are filled with molecular machines that assemble proteins one molecule at a time. Your cells can synthesize any protein and lots of other molecules besides.

It's not unreasonable to think that we could somehow insert RNA into cells to have them produce medication locally. Or introduce and engineered cell that produces highly specific molecular machines that break down insulin or toxins or repair nerves or all sorts of things.

SciFi authors have been writing for ages about nanobot cultures in your body maintaining your health and physique, modifying the endocrine system, all sorts of things. It's becoming more and more clear to me that these nanobots will most likely not be artificial mechanical machines, but purely biological molecular machines produced and controlled by engineered cells.

When you get down to it, RNA in itself is an absolutely incredible machine. RNA can be formed into structures like proteins that do work on other molecules. RNA can build a machine out of RNA that builds copies of itself!

Biology is just insane on the atomic to molecular scale. Plants manipulate individual protons during photosynthesis! There's a whole active mechanism with rotating parts that pump protons across a membrane. It's incredible that biology can do things like this, and we're only just scratching the surface of what's possible.

Very soon we'll be able to start engineering these molecular machines. The possibilities are nearly endless. How about a self-replicating enzyme that breaks down plastics? Release it into the oceans and eliminate microplastic pollution. Enzymes that convert oils and lipids into hydrocarbon fuel. Maybe we could even produce bacteria that fix CO2 into something inert.

When we gain the ability to manipulate matter on this scale, a whole lot of absolutely incredible things suddenly become easy

Thanks a lot for pointing this out so eloquently! Seems like the post really buried the lede there …

And I should keep my eyes more open for those things.

Funny how there's two complementary phrases that should ring the same alarm and are often used for the same (usually racist/classist/etc.) people:

- We've progressed beyond X, thus X is bad (and we're better for not doing X)
- We've always done X, thus X is good (and we're better for not doing Y)

(The parenthetical obviously just being an excuse for unfounded hate.)
I had my entire domain listed as a phishing domain on Google for having a real, legitimate Google OAuth sign-in flow on one of my (unlisted) subdomains. They didn't even disable the app in question, just delisted my entire domain.
IME most tradespeople tend to actually use vans. I'm in the US and a house is being built across the street from my home office window, and there are more pickup trucks (most with 'manly' modifications) parked as vanity items for the employees of the welding supply shop down the street than there have been carpenters, plumbers, concrete layers, roofers, and so on here building something. It's all been Transit/Promasters and larger Ford E-XXX type vans.

Of course, not a massive sample size, but spending time both in a large American metro as well as in the rural, farming hinterlands of my state, I rarely meet people with pickups who could honestly say they need it. One cattle farmer I'm friends with has a Ford F-250 but it's like 20 years old.

63% of American truck buyers never hook anything up to the trailer hitch. It is a costume, or most charitably, a somewhat reasonable consequence of our whacked out emissions laws, our terrible safety regulations and traffic engineering standards (which are imo criminal), and a simple calculus of "what do I buy if I want the most car for the least amount of money". The last point is of no consequence if it that choice doesn't affect anyone else, but that simply isn't the case. The most optimal personal choice is rarely the most optimal societal choice, but the consequences of the bad societal choice are not felt as acutely even if they're far worse. More barely utilized pickups is bad for everyone.
Let’s say we eventually get accurate measures of what is a healthy amount of plastics versus harmful amount. Let’s pretend the law is updated so that food manufacturers must limit the number of microplastics to a healthy level.

Does that capability even exist? How can food manufacturers actually control microplastics in their products? The report said even canned products have microplastic, so I think it’s more than just the final packaging.

The NLRB, SEC, FTC. These cases belong in a real Article III court.

So in other words, its a judgement question which should be left up to the legislature? What is the constitutional basis for that differentiation? The only difference I can see is a comfort subjecting individuals to this process and a discomfort subjecting corporations to it.

Housing starts are still pretty high right now (relative to post 08), though they could definitely be much higher.

Rates don't seem to be impacting builders all that much, rather they were just making outsized profits in the lower interest rate years. IIRC labor supply was a bigger issue for them.

The issue is that if you have 100 people and 100 houses, the price of any house is just whatever the construction and land costs. If you have 101 people and 100 houses, suddenly not even the sky is the limit. It's not that the 100 houses suddenly became better, they just became an existential land grab resulting in astronomical prices dictated by the absolute maximum the median person can convince a bank to lend them. If getting the money becomes more difficult, the prices will follow.
I think this line of thought culminates in thinking that data with zero cost of duplication isn't a product that can be bought or sold. Just download it. The answer is that laws exist to protect propery and you must have property to be protected. Data isn't property, and so can't be protected from duplication. You're right in questioning the practice because it isn't logical.
