7 yrs work experience; Looking for (ideally) remote systems/infrastructure/backend engineer position.
Nice idea. Would be even better if you could manually adjust several of the values and it would adjust the missing ones in between. Now you can only base it on one single starting color.
You know what, that's a sufficiently cursed workflow that it wraps back around to adding nerd cred
The way I see it, is that being able to demonstrate specialist-level skills in something is a good signal no matter the problem you need to solve. It means you can learn. As a specialist you have already shown ability to master a skill, so if a project needs another skill, you will be able to pick it up.

And quite often that's how you solve client problems as a contractor. You figure out what the actual problem is (in business terms), the cost/benefits of various solutions and then learn whatever you need to solve the problem. Only then you get to write code.

The funny thing is that you may be a ninja Rust developer, but sometimes all the client needs is a cron job to move data from a spreadsheet to a server. Or even worse, you may need to modify VBA scripts in an ancient Excel file!
Yes, and the worst part is I don't think it's even a side effect of organizational structure because I've seen it in so many places. There is just a quirk of human psychology where "if you touch a problem it belongs to you now," and the result is a situation where everyone would be genuinely happy and eager to help but nobody (except the newbie) dares try because the consequences for trying are immediate and dire.

I dunno, the poster you replied to brought receipts: they cited the evidence proving them correct.

A court took those citations, and judged what the poster said to be correct, settling the matter. So the poster you're responding to is officially, legally correct.

What do you think about the evidence and decision made based on the evidence above? It seems many people remember very clearly what everyone thought, and it was that the goals were achievable. Do you believe the above evidence cited, was falsified?
You cut, I choose becomes I choose, you un-cut.

Note that this paper contains no optimality proofs.

There's a lot of mathy-looking stuff, but then instead of a proof we get "yeah we took this one particular Markov-chain algorithm and had it play against itself and it failed to generate a gerrymander".

If deployed in real life, an immense amount of power -- and therefore money -- will be at stake: certainly more than enough money to hire persons with intelligence equal to or greater than the creator of "the ShotBurst Algorithm" as consultants.

If an optimality proof is not possible, the only alternative is to test using real humans and (very substantial) real rewards.
I worked on devices that didn't need styluses 6 years before the iPhone. They were not unusual at all. What kept people using styluses was that resistive touch is shit and imprecise, and on small screens they were awful to use.

So this boils down to capacitative touch of sufficient quality having gotten cheap enough.

> Isn't it $500 per call, and $1500 if they don't give a business address when asked?

Sure. How should they collect that from the overseas scammers who called you?

Internationally sourced calls should be opt-in, this would solve the non-political portion of the spam problem. Almost no one needs to receive calls from overseas.
Parental controls are a strange beast. In general, they stand zero chance against even mildly interested kid, unless you're going to lock them up in a basement to isolate them entirely from their peer group. Those controls work best as a soft limit - strong enough that going around them would be clear, unambiguous disobedience. After all, they're parental controls, not NSA-proof security. Making them technically bulletproof would arguably be worse for everyone.

I also use Word for all my writing too, so wanted to defend you. People (tech people at least) have lost sight of the fact that writing should happen in "word processing software", and Word is the best-in-class. To people who say "Word sux", I say "That just means you don't know how to use Word properly". Writing any markup or markdown syntax in an IDE is a disaster for the creative process. Jack Kerouac used to type using rolls of paper instead of sheets so he didn't have to stop is his process. He "got it".

As for pandoc, yes it's amazing, and I have been using it to convert my word documents to markdown so I can publish a technical textbook I'm working on using Quarto. I tried writing directly in Quarto for a while, but as per my point above, it really slowed me down and distracted me from actually writing, so I figured out the pandoc pipeline. My most favoritest feature so far is that it converts tables AND equations to markdown and latex perfectly. It's so seamless that I'd actually recommend Word->pandoc as the best way to write a complicated markdown table.
Despite all the economic dooming on social media, it actually looks like we might get a soft landing. And if so, Jerome Powell and the fed deserve a ton of praise.

Not sure if its the browser or interface, yet trying to search for Motherboards, Expansion Chips, Chipsets, ect... I always get a limited number of possible Manufacturer choices.

I think the assumption is that mass-produced frozen isn't using the best ingredients.

I know when I made refrigerated yoghurt (so only milk+culture ingredients) I could taste the difference in the milk freshness, and I was just using gallon store milk.

Freezer section has generally been where cheap or low-quality ingredients get a logo and heart-warming story about Nana slapped on them.

And to some degree it's a lemon market: I can only see the logo, the story, and the price, not what went into production. So high-quality ingredients have little pricing power.
it depends on your taste, usually home made pasta is not dry pasta and it's made with eggs, so actually not the same thing. I wouldn't recommend Barilla anyway, it's just average, there are much tastier brands.

I've read someone here lamenting the cost of the machines to make fresh pasta, you don't need any, just your hands, elbow grease a rolling pin and a good knife to cut it.

If you wanna skip the rolling pin phase, which is the most difficult one, and don't make huge amount of pasta, you can buy one of these.

Seems like this is aimed at Palworld, and in that game at least one of the points is to get your pets to do the work for you.

Of course, you have to grab the initial rocks/brances for yourself :)

I'm not so much into this game myself, but my kids are all over it.
Yes, so if I start a palette at Lightness 100 and end at Lightness 0, I should see these numbers in the resulting colors

In this specific example the starting color is still not ff, but f9 due to some easing interference (though I'd expect a function x=0 y=0 to not do anything for the very first color), but even then you still see a clear connection, and if you had 10 steps you'd see ~10 lightness point increase in each palette color
As far as we know, there's no way to exactly simulate physics on a digital computer. So any simulation would be a numerical approximation. If we're in such a universe, it would have consequences for understanding physics. For instance, we might be able to detect numerical round-off error with some sufficiently precise experiment.

Back to your analogy, if you divide 42/9, a calculator will say something like 4.66666667, which is only an approximation to the true answer. So it makes a difference what substrate the number exists in.

If we are in a simulation and could figure out exactly how the approximation is done, we might find some useful tricks to do with it. Most practical physics simulators we have today (say for simulating robots) can be triggered into producing wildly wrong results, where energy isn't conserved. That would be cool.
This is a nice tool. As another approach that I use in my codebases is I define the color palette with CSS variables, so my Tailwind config just points to those. Then at runtime I can plug in different color themes.
Could only do it because of structural demographics (excess COVID deaths + retirements + ~3.6M Boomers retiring per year). Note shortages across various industries (teachers, bus drivers, healthcare workers, air traffic controllers, etc). New York City walked back its remote and flexible work policy due to hemorrhaging talent. The Federal government is holding onto a substantial cohort of workers because of its telework allowances (because those folks could simply retire instead).

> fresh made pasta has eggs

Only if you add eggs, and you don't have to add eggs.

> You can’t make homemade pasta that will come out al dente.

Of course you can, but you have to dry the pasta before cooking.

It is of course easier (and in my experience not likely to be lower quality) to buy some industrially-made pasta.

I’d suggest a couple things here:

1. Whatever suburb you live in is extremely unusual as far as suburbs go. Suburbs are almost defined by the lack of amenities accessible by foot. Hence the whole “15 minute city” thing. If you’ve got that in a suburb, that’s a great suburb.

2. There are cities other than New York and SF. For what it’s worth, I lived in NYC for a decade+ and rode my bike as my main mode of transportation for a lot of my time there. And the comparison isn’t even close. Yes. I absolutely find it safer riding my bike in Manhattan than in the quiet suburb I find myself living now. Infrastructure matters. And the infrastructure here is solely built for car driving.
Presumably they also can sense how they feel when they wake up. An unencumbered night feels completely different than a night hindered by sleep apnea, snoring or otherwise.

Pretty feasible for anyone who has enough ballistic missiles to target about 5000 targets, or is willing to invest a couple billion into stocking 5000 overpowered fighter-launched missiles. Starlink isn't that high up, and in military terms 5000 targets isn't that much.

The effort of getting a ballistic trajectory that peaks at 500km is a lot smaller than reaching a stable orbit of that height. And just like WWII aircraft you don't need to hit them, just produce enough shrapnel in their vague vicinity.

The biggest hurdle is the universal international condemnation you would receive for such an act
Show HN: MiniCPM-2B Achieving Mistral-7B Performance on Snapdragon 835 SoC
Hello, Hacker News Community!

We have just released a new series of models, including language models and multimodal models, called MiniCPM. Our goal is to explore the process of configuration tuning and scaling in large language models while advancing the democratization of such models, enabling intelligence to be accessible anytime, anywhere.

In our technical report, we share how we systematically search for and tune model configurations, demonstrating the ongoing effectiveness of this search process during the scaling process. Additionally, based on our real-world use cases, we introduce the Warmup-Stable-Decay (WSD) Learning Rate Scheduler and data strategy, designed to be more friendly to continuous training.

If you believe that the exploration of MiniCPM can benefit your use cases or provide insights for optimizing your models and you are interested in contributing, please test it out and provide feedback. You can report any bugs, difficulties, or desired features by opening issues. Feel free to share your ideas in this thread or on GitHub. And, of course, we appreciate stars for the project.

Meanwhile, in the world where I live, doctor's offices call me on a not-frequent but not-rare occasion to reschedule appointments and the like. SMS is increasingly used for a lot of routine stuff like reminders but there's still a fair number of phone calls.

Per another comment, my suburban hospital system has merged with one of the two big city systems and as a patient the electronic health records system saves quite a few phone calls and faxes being sent around. But there are still some calls.

From a quick search of the FDA's adverse event database I only found five reports of events relating to the Philips Dreamstation from before 2020; only the fourth could related to the foam-dust:

One relating to filter problems: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/d...

One relating to skin irritation: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/d...

One with WiFi connectivity issues preventing configuration(!): https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/d...

One waking up with a burning sensation in their nose and throat: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/d...

One shut down during the night leading to too-low oxygen levels leading to hospitalization and death: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfmaude/d...

It boggles the mind that Philips would chose to report the WiFi complaint, but not the foam-dust complaints. To me it makes it seem even more likely that this issue was deliberately suppressed by management.

Activity-hours aren't fungible and have constraints. If I need to eat by 6pm and get home from work at 5:30 pm, I generally can't just choose to swap a 9 - 10 pm hour of streaming with an hour of preparing food.

While some people can level up and perform food-prep activities during the 9-10 pm hour so that the following 5:30 - 6 pm slot can be filled with quick prep, many people don't know how to do so, nor see the ROI for such activity.
If the analysis holds up in practice (and the methodology looks good at first glance) I really like this. It will allow fair districts to be drawn even by completely divided jurisdictions, without needing any kind of neutral arbitrator to step in.

Fresh versus dry is the biggest distinction to me.

I do notice some improvement in the $5 vs $2 dry pasta brands and usually make that indulgence. Anything priced higher I’ve not noticed enough difference to make it worth it. Also, not sure if this is super wide spread but, my grocer carries frozen fresh pasta which is a bit pricy IMO but makes sense in some occasions.

Even though I think fresh is top notch, I most likely won’t go through the time investment to DIY it. For me, when I’m in that type of mood it’s time to visit an Italian restaurant that makes fresh pasta
These numbers include upward revisions for past months.

You make a good point about these types of numbers. It's hard to get accurate and timely data in the field of economics, and headlines will never show the revisions, so the information we see will usually be the least accurate (assuming accuracy grows with time).

That said, these are good numbers and there's no reason to suspect they're not real.

My 2 cents:

> 4. The secret is to weigh the eggs and adjust everything using that measurement.

This implies that only egg-based pasta can be made at home, which is not the case.

> 5. The "volcano" honestly makes no sense. Just use a bowl and the right proportions.

In my experience, the "volcano" (mixing on a countertop) is no harder than using a bowl, and doesn't get a bowl dirty. I'm going to immediately need to get the countertop dirty when kneading the pasta anyway.

> 8. If you have a system for drying, then it becomes much easier to make more.

Depending on your local climate, a drying system can be as simple as some trays and enough space to leave them out for a day or two.

Otherwise, I generally agree.
I am glad he's staying on, even without the compensation package, just like many said he would (proving the package was excessive), and is still going to perform as CEO, just like many said he would (again proving that the package was excessive).

I am skeptical he would be able to extract the same amount of value from out of the pockets of shareholders and into his, without resorting to the fraud he used to gain shareholder approval the first time. We'll see!
