I always wonder why these articles are focused on the individual rather than teams or organizations. It is easier to leverage intelligence in a good organized team that individually. Even if it is an individual with enough resources (e.g. social capital) it he/she can recognize its own weakness and left other solve thos problems where you are not good or capable at.

This is the importance of the vision (what) rather than the "how". The secret in execution is balancing these two things beyond focusing in the individual talent that is more connected with ego.

For example, if suddenly you want to build and indy game and don't know about games but you have a good idea, team up with other people who know about that.

Last, if time is not a hard pressure be patient. Look for example at people who apend years polishing ideas and creating software that is a craft [1].

Lol. This typo could make it big time!

A large urea crystal finally dislocates from Mr. Jordan Peterson's biological urethra, and so he weeps for a white kid getting bullied somewhere. Master P signals the host, who allegedly is in ketosis too, for the recording to keep rolling, although, that goes without saying, he can't speak profoundly at the moment. With uberwill and force, simply not possible running on carbs, he bravely breaks through weltschmerz vocal chord spasms, faintly reaching peak insight for the audience: "It's not just a diet; it's a revelation of white genocide!"
Diet advice I collected from HN: no matter how much you eat, you should eat less. Ideally you should eat once a day and exercise a lot. You should pick one of those highly restricted diets too, completely excluding at least one food group.

Also, no reason to ever worry about lack of anything (iron, vitamins, minerals, whatever), none of that is ever an issue.
Solely being old isn't the problem. The early variants of 737s were solid. It became a problem with later versions with bigger engines etc: you can probably get away with some minor CHANGES without overhaul the design as long as it's still within the threshold of the original design, but those MAX variants crossed the line. Thus MACS was introduced. MACS, to some extent, was a feasible workaround if Boeing did not cut the corners by outsourcing the implementation and chose to only have one critical attack angle sensor. But if things only stop there, those two disasters could still have been avoided if the pilots were aware of the existence of MACS. But again, Boeing decided there was no need for the pilots to know it at all.

After the first crashed MAX's FDR data release, I was wondering if there were something massing with the pilots but I wasn't sure. Then the 2nd crash happened and the FDR data looked almost exactly the same, I was almost certain there was some undisclosed mechanism causing nose diving. But as we all knew, Boeing denied such thing until later.

You can see that in the whole Boeing had been SUPER CONFIDENT for sure, and thus I now have no confidence in it at all.

> It’s not a great idea to call system calls by writing your own assembly code.

> One big reason for this is that some system calls have additional code that runs in glibc before or after the system call runs.

That's not really the fault of the system calls. The problem is the C library itself. It's too stateful, it's full of global data and action at a distance. If you use certain system calls, you invalidate its countless assumptions and invariants, essentially pulling the rug from under it.

I've found programming in freestanding C with Linux system calls and no libc to be a very rewarding experience. Getting rid of libc and its legacy vastly improves C as a language. The Linux system call interface is quite clean. Don't even have to deal with the nonsense that is the errno variable.

Huh? Are you replying to the wrong comment? I never made any claims about 'solving a neoclassical economy'.

I'm not quite sure who cares about solving a neoclassical economic model like that?

As you indirectly suggest, neoclassical assumption of the type you suggested are not computationally tractable. So the kind of computations real economic agents actually do are likely to be different. (Whether that flavour of neoclassical economics is still useful after taking this caveat into account, is a different question.)

In any case: yes, not all NP-hard or NP-complete problems are easy to solve in practice. Even worse, many problems widely believed to be neither NP-hard nor NP-complete, like factoring integers or computing discrete logarithms, are also hard for many practical instances. (And they have to be, if cryptography is supposed to work.)

Trust me. In some countries either you charge prisoners... Or you don't make prisoners (meaning kill criminals even for small crimes. Or let them roam free and have the population kill them instead).
Creatives forget the tools AI companies will develop for attribution will be applied on their own works as well, and unwanted attributions might pop up. We don't like to admit how much our own creativity is just derivative from a place we forgotten about. But when they make the attribution microscope, it won't be just AIs getting scrutinized.

We have plenty of content with attribution to train such a system - books, art, scientific papers, media articles, even social network comments, we know author and date. We can index everything by author and search against the index to find influences. We can train "text -> author" and the use it for "new text -> attributions".

But will such a system ultimately enable or block creativity? Even past works stand to be revealed in all their influences. Might be embarrassing. On the other hand generative models will be safe as they can sample around problematic attributions and still complete their tasks. We might end up having to use AI for writing in order to ensure copyright safety. The irony.

"I heard you don't like AI in creative fields so from now on you need to use AI to ensure other creative's ideas are not used by mistake, or risk getting sued."

AFAIK it's an issue with upstream. Just like most open-source projects, there is Linuxism/Bashism in there.
Good point that it's unlikely to be as simple as a $500m return but regardless of the amounts or structure of IPO my question was more around who are the existing share holders of the commercial company? Is it the foundation or someone/something else? Is this float to get cash or financial stability for the foundation or a cashout by other parties?

At the end of the day I'm not going to be too critical in any case as I've contributed nothing beyond buying a few boards and making a few posts in support!
Hex Puzzles
I have a successor, almost identical, but perhaps two generations newer. Upgrades:

- Bigger, better dust bin

- Slightly less dust makes it into the HEPA filter

- Slightly better / cheaper roller design

... and similar details.

A friend gave me their smarter vacuum (which they didn't use), and I hated it:

1) It tried to overthink things and was pretty demanding.

2) It didn't clean as well. My Roomba has a pretty anaemic vacuum, but cleans very well by virtue of going over every place many times in random directions as it bumps along for 30+ minutes. The smart vacuum plotted a course which covered everything once, finished up in record time, and nothing was actually clean.

What's odd is that even now, 2+ decades after launch, so little has improved. What I really want is "cyclone operation," as in any modern dumb vacuum, so most of the dust doesn't make it to the HEPA filter. The design is stupid simple:

- Air comes into a circular container from a hole in the side, so the air spins.

- Suction comes out a hole in the top at a half-way point in the radius of the dust container, while most of the dust wants to stay at the inside or outside

- If you're even more clever, you put the suction at half height, because dust naturally goes to the bottom.

The annoying thing is cleaning or replacing filters.

The answer is halfway through the article: "Healthcare isn’t structured around patient needs; it is a business that prioritizes profit."
Everything says it’s over 4K per eye and that you can have a 4K virtual monitor. Where are you getting your numbers? I can’t find anyone saying 3.3K per eye and 1080p screen.
Interestingly, a sub-licensed version of OS/2 is still sold and actively upgraded (called ArcaOS). It's in a bizarre state where their license from IBM doesn't give them enough leeway to port it to 64-bit, but they have been able to add modern things like USB 3 drivers.
FTDI chips cost at least $5 (https://www.findchips.com/search/ft232), but an RP2040 can be bought for less than $1, so it makes sense to use an RP2040.
No "expansion of copyright" is needed in music, the requirements in the US are already onerous enough for the entirely original human-written and performed Blurred Lines to be deemed a copyright violation for consciously emulating the "feel" of a Marvin Gaye baseline.

The people that need to change this status quo - like it or loathe it - are the people that want to profit from spamming streaming services with zero-effort derivatives of popular music (people that do it for fun or use 'AI' tools for post production or loop-variation will continue to be fine). I have a lot less sympathy with them than the many artists who've lost court cases for 'inspiration', and if they're relying on the whole "models learn just like people" canard they're going to be in a weaker position than usual, because not only is that deemed insufficient for people, but it's unambiguously untrue that machines "listen" like humans do (they're bulk processing files, not experiencing consonance or dissonance in the ear) or that they "perform" as opposed to stochastically transferring elements of style. Even the most cliched blues going has human reasons for note choice and intonation other than "weighted average of other blues with overlapping description"

I've still got a 2013 plasma with 3d and while you lose half of the horizontal resolution (the image is stored twice side by side) it isn't really noticeable in most 3d blu ray movies. Streaming services lose a lot more sharpness by compressing the heck out of their movies.

Most blu ray players (even the 4k ones) still support 3d since the only thing needed is to pass the image with a '3d' flag set. The rest is up to the display.

Personally I'd like to add the movies "Hugo" and "The Martian" ;)

> deduct a portion for the cost of incarceration

How much is a portion? Cost per prisoner varies a lot, but a quick google suggests the US average cost per prisoner is about 50%-100% of gross national average salary depending on who I ask. (And the cost per prisoner in the UK is about double national average gross salary).
Boeing 787 was a NEW design from scratch. 737 MAX serials were just CHANGES OVER CHANGES over a once mature design. Boeing claimed those CHANGES as UPGRADES. Picking only one of those, it can probably be called an UPGRADE. But putting all together, I can only see whole bunches of UNVERIFIED CHANGES to original design.
The post office workers in the UK who where f-ed over by the government because the software was reporting things incorrectly could really have used this as well. Should all our financial systems be open source too?

Maybe it should be like Copyright or patents, you can keep things private for a while for an advantage, but then you would need to release all code as open source / public domain or similar? It should also be available before that to be reviewed by professionals following a formal process of some sort.
Your chance calculation has zero arguments & zero proof.

You do know things can be effective without evidence-based clinical trials?

Just because there isn't any clinical trial done on it, doesn't mean it defaults to a placebo effect. What makes this case even more convincing is that there is literature on Epilepsy and keto, and OP was on put on epileptic medicine before: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6361831/

Everything new, and old but unprofitable, lack clinical trials. Clinical trials are extremely hard and expensive. Especially on complicated issues with hard to control variables: for instance mental issues with similar symptoms might have different causes.

Clinical trials are trying to prove what works safely for a large group, that's it, nothing more.
Please, please, please keep advocating for this. I made hundreds of dollars in 2020, all of it after the election was called, buying Biden shares on states that had already been called at like 80 cents on the dollar, all of it from suckers who thought Rudy Giuliani’s court cases were legitimate. I’d love to do it again if Biden wins in 2024.
Those can't be arguments though because that removes all individual agency

my liberty ends where your liberty starts.

as far as i know new zealand is phasing out smoking completely

There is even a possible argument that the feeling of safety given by a seatbelt makes drivers more dangerous

that can be measured and policy be changed accordingly.

personally, i'd go as far as banning private car ownership. instead replace that with better public transport, and smaller mobility devices and taxis for the last mile.

i don't drive and the liberty i get from not having a car that i have to park somewhere is huge. better public transport would increase my liberty to move around even further. so this would not reduce my individual agency, but it would increase it.

Oh, social media companies have an enormous impact on the world - through decisions made at C-suite and senior management level about what to demand of software engineers and how to deploy that work.

The impact by software engineers perhaps falls more in the "failed to whistle blow" category than the "evil Dr. Strangelove" box .. save for those very few that actually rise to a position of signifigance in strategic decision making.

Jonathan Haidt links to this paper: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/27358...

which doesn't include the figures. The full reproduced JAMA Research Letter from 2019 with figures and all is here: https://sci-hub.ru/10.1001/jama.2019.5054

As a research letter from JAMA I take that as fair reporting of some raw CDC data - I don't know how representative that result is in the fullness of reflection, normalisation, and other things that happen with data over time. To be clear I'm not quibblling and I thank you for the link.

Haidt also makes clear that Correlation does not prove causation and argues that No other suspect is equally plausible.

I'm 100% willing to align myself with the "social media as it stands is a scourge on humanity and young minds (for the most part)" camp.

I'm equally onboard with corporations are shit at personal data security and should be held with feet to the fire until they improve.
McDonald’s menu is enormous, much larger than In n Out. If you’ve ever worked in the quick service food industry (it sounds like you haven’t), you’d know this considerably affects how every facet of the restaurant functions.

I also completely disagree that In n Out is “dramatically better” and I’d be very surprised if that was the resounding opinion across Americans. It is fine, but again, it serves a different purpose, so making such broad apples-to-apples comparisons seems a little short sighted.

“Competence in operations” is a nice sound bite but without some real examples related to restaurant management I’m just not convinced. I ensure you that it has indeed come up in a McDonald’s boardroom that raising their wages would result in more competitive hiring, that is not a novel observation. I did three years at McDonald’s and another several at other restaurants; admittedly it doesn’t sound like this comment was made from a place of experience, more a place of convenient idealism.

> This is pathetic. Boeing could end up losing out to the COMAC C919

Maybe that's a good thing. It will be a lesson to the US to not prop up a shitty monopolies for decades just because it's currently the only local option and losing dominance in the short term is oh-so-scary to techocrats who want to orchestrate everything.

They should have encouraged and enabled the domestic development of competitors to Boeing - as a long term play - instead of repeatedly propping them up in the short term, just to keep the status quo going.

It shows how little confidence, or interest, the US gov and US business community as a whole have in America's ability to compete on merit alone. With lots of juice by Boeing to manipulate an easily manipulated system that has become overly comfortable manufacturing these pseudo private businesses, without true accountability to either the market or gov.

Although I don't blame any up and coming US manufacturer that looks at Boeing's cushy arrangement with the gov and the regulatory system bending over for them alone and hard passing attempting to compete.
This micro benchmark measures the direct cost of system calls. But flushing the TLB and trashing the caches carries an indirect cost too.

According to some benchmarks I've seen (sorry no link), a system call in the middle of a memory heavy inner loop can impact performance for 100 us before performance is back to steady state. This is 100x longer than the system call alone. Of course there is work being done, but at a reduced throughput. This is in line with my practical experience from working with performance sensitive code.

These things are difficult to benchmark reliably and draw actionable conclusions from the results.

This is not a criticism to the author of this article, the article clearly describes the methodology of the benchmarks and does not suggest any wrong conclusions from the data.

This has nothing to do with interpreted or compiled. SBCL compiles all code to native code - it has optional interpreter functionality, which is not needed most of the time.

Creating an sbcl executable for Linux is simply a call to dump an application, add the runtime and save that to some place. The there is an executable on the disk. The only thing is that the executable is not small or tiny -> but they include the compiler/loader/repl/..., which is useful.

Many other Lisps also can create executables. A LispWorks executable application on my Linux/ARM64 starts with roughly 7MB and it has unused stuff removed by a "treeshaker".
I am curious what country and industry you work. Most developed countries and some major developing ones have less than 2 children per couple in their data. The data is probably correct thus your anecdote would be an exception. Thus makes me wonder what industry is so exceptional?

Well, it's all solved problems, but the cheapest temp controlled Weller is over USD 200, and the Pinecil is 25.

The almost ubiquitous accessibility of cheap miniature general purpose microcontrollers/CPUs allows easy and fast creation of a device like the Pinecil, with a miriad of features: programmable PID, motion sensor, Bluetooth controller, temp profiles, battery powering, calibration, easy access to code... Cheap and fast. And it feels durable, not a toy.

And, if you don't have a FTDI UART converter or a logic analizer around, you just take an RP2040 from your electronic parts bin, and reprogram it. And once you finish, you can reprogram it for a different thing.
Really useful info at just the right level for me, and coincidentally at just the right time! Thanks!

One aspect I'm interested in is what happens when senders and receivers are mismatched in throughput, with the worst case being a too-fast producer causing queues to get "backed up". Do most of the tools you described have decent diagnostics/monitoring for this? Are there design-stage approaches to avoid this completely, even if demand varies (predictably or unpredictably)? Any light you could shed here, or in the post, would be appreciated.
Congrats on launching!
