Interesting, I had no idea what a 'ringisho' was, so I found some (likely simplistic) information here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_management_culture

> The term of "ringi" has two meanings. The first meaning being of "rin", 'submitting a proposal to one's supervisors and receiving their approval,' and "gi" meaning 'deliberations and decisions.' Corporate policy is not clearly defined by the executive leadership of a Japanese company. Rather, the managers at all levels below executives must raise decisions to the next level except for routine decisions. The process of "ringi decision-making" is conducted through a document called a "ringisho".

I've never heard of this guy and I do like well made Youtube history videos so I looked it up.

I did find a reddit thread.
I think this comment sums up the sentiment there (although I haven't seen his specific words):

https://old.reddit.com/r/Shadiversity/comments/10sbcts/tldr_...

> Personally: his prejudices against gay people and his tendency to jump to the conclusion that something is "woke" simply because it mentions a subject left-leaning people are concerned about.

> (See the "knights watch" reviews of the new The Last of Us series for examples.)

> I (a bisexual man) always found his material on historical practices and weapons, as well as his fantasy theory videos to be extremely entertaining and convincing.

> But his views when it comes to pop culture are often his prejudice worded in a way that deflects criticism.

> Comparing gay representation in the last of us, as if it was a foot fetish and having someone suck and/or lick toes in media. (see episode 3 of knights watch the last of us review)

There are small SUVs and they are great. They are popular for a reason: they have Utility, and you can use them slightly offroad.

OTOH an X3 or other luxury suv is basically stupid concept other than a display of wealth.
The length of the input in tokens. For the simple case of tokens just being characters, a LLM does nothing but take a string of length n, the context length, and calculate for each character in the alphabet the probability that this character is the next character following the input. Then it picks one character at random according to that distribution, outputs it as the first character of the response, appends it to the input, discards the first character of the input to get it back to length n and then repeats the entire process to produce the next character of the response.
It did flop

The author definitely had their reasons for picking "How the codpiece flopped" instead of "How the codpiece went out of fashion"

Also, judging from the URL, they must've been pretty happy to find the joke because the title used to be "what happened to the codpiece"

From the article it seems that the campaign was about pollution. Heavier vehicles also consume the road much more than lighter ones. It's proportional to the fourth power of the weight on axles.

Regarding your assumption: I've been assaulted, battered, (both successful) and mugged (only attempted). Anger wouldn't have helped; applying a full nelson and dragging the miscreant into a shop did.

To be explicit: had I acted out of anger, I might've tried to fight the guy, and (especially if he had had friends), it would not have ended well. Having instead used my neocortex: his initial advantage lay in choosing the time, manner, and place; time there was nothing to be done about; manner I negated by switching first to grappling, then to grappling in a situation where I had the cardiovascular advantage; and place I negated by moving to a location where there were other people.

(in retrospect, if I'd just not tried to shortcut through an alleyway at night in a strange city, I would never even have had to make use of my normal cardiovascular capacity)

When was the last time you faced a threat of violence for which increased cardiovascular performance improved the outcome?

Climate change won't cause human extinction. It will cause destruction of the environment, leading to it being able to support even less people than it does now. Because nature can't keep up with the speed we're changing it.

But human extinction, no. Some areas will even become more habitable.

And humans will only become extinct if everyone stops having kids which won't happen because some people like having them.
I'm also feeling this. I think my experience with remote work is that I can be more productive on a personal level, but I do feel like it's much harder to course correct the team if the overall goal is wrong.

For example, while I can knock out more tickets personally, it won't matter if the entire project is the wrong project and I can't influence people enough to change it remotely.

I have a sense that things like coding can be done more productively remotely. But everything else leading up to the code part is worse remotely. This includes talking to customers, negotiating with other teams, iterating through designs with the team, selling the idea to executives, and onboarding new customers. The actual writing code part can be done just as effectively remotely. And that part is what most of Hacker News user base does.

Therefore, I feel that a lot of pro-WFH people on HN don't actually understand why companies are adamant about RTO. They can't see the overall picture - only their small part - so they conclude that there must be some conspiracy theory like commercial real estate investments driving RTO.
Of course it's as much an environment tax as it is a show-off tax.

Actually they voted for tripling the cost of heavy vehicles. The size is not even mentioned. It's a shortsighted move, since it incentives using gasoline cars in cities and disincentivies Hybrid and even EVs due to their weight.

Step 1: Generate UUIDs using a highly predictable pattern

Step 2: Use the UUID as a security key - like saving a private file at files.example.com/12345678-1234-5678-1234-123456781234/private-file.pdf and assuming nobody will be able to download it without knowing the UUID

Step 3: Attacker predicts the UUID and downloads the private file.

Obviously the real solution here is to not use UUIDs as security keys - but dumbasses shoot towards their feet all the time, and UUIDv4 makes them hit less often.

Kind of - the content delivery for Cable TV was basically free. It all just gets blasted down the cable and the box filters out what you're not supposed to have access to. So arguably, you were paying to have a restricted service.

The hardware was often subsidised (although I recall at one point having to pay an extra €99 for a sky box), but assuming a set top box cost €100, that's 1.5 months of payments to pay for the box, the rest is the subscription cost.

> You need to add the cost of your internet connection on top of that, plus whatever box you use to play to the TV etc.

Only if you exclusively use the internet for this content. And the vast, vast majority of TV's come with apps for Netflix, Prime etc these days. Those that don't, a streaming stick is ~£35.

Not only the energy though. "Tire emissions" are a serious problem and it's competing with ICE emissions. EV's are considerably heavier so they produce lots of fine particles from the tires.
Maybe in the North America they're not that important since other cars are as heavy (SUVs and Trucks). But in Europe, EV's are by far the heaviest of the regular use vehicles.

An Artisanal Way to Do Data
View from a US-expat in the Netherlands: It doesn't have to be as bad as it is.

Subsidize daycare, fund schools (from pre-school to university) and focus on learning at-school and not at-home, and pass laws forcing employers to allow parents to reduce their working hours, should they wish to. You can rebuild your cities to be bike able, change gender norms, or change work culture, but honestly the most change will come from the first list.

My situation as a parent here:

On the cost side, recurring costs for after-school daycare (2x week), school 'contributions' (field trips), violin lessons and rental, gymnastics classes, and normal clothing purchases are €200/month. Daycare is subsidized and we are lucky that we only need two days, but bumping that up to 3 or 4 would not be insane on the cost side. Baby day care was also subsidized, but can get expensive if you are sending them 5x week... it depends on the parent's income. For us subsidies covered about a third of the costs, but we earned well.

The school here takes care of education, with very little homework. It's well-funded, and does not require much extra effort or money from our side. We can be as involved as we want to be.

We are able to use only 2x of day care per week because a) most employers understand the needs of parents but mostly b) by law employers are required to let you reduce your hours to, for example, take care of your kids. We both work a half-day once a week, with another family member helping on the remaining day.

While the Dutch will complain about higher education costs, the costs are reasonable. A 4 year study will cost you around €10k in tuition, total. That 4 year study results in a masters if the student is able / wants to follow a university track.
It's a different experience for different people. Why wouldn't parent's comment if they enjoy having kids? It's no different than the people who jumped in to state the reasons why they wouldn't have kids, why do they do it? Why did you feel the need to put your comment in, maybe answer that too? I think it's weird how someone always jumps in to comment on how weird it is that some people jump in to comment.

I've got 3 kids. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Or not recommend it. How the fuck should I know what you want to do or how it'll turn out? I'm glad I had mine and I'm glad we started at 25 instead of 35. Regrets? Some, but if you've none I may not believe you. You can regret things even if you also wouldn't want them to turn out differently.
> It is so culturally alien to them that it would never get through.

If there's a need then this will change. You might as well say that they'd never use a telephone because it's culturally alien. It was alien, but it was useful, so they adapted. Same with email and video calls. The boss has to log into their banking just like everyone else, because there's a need for it. If there's a need for this, the OP's suggestion seems like a pretty good one, as it augments the existing culture with a security step.

I know it sound silly but I love the aesthetic behind Deno's brand, it makes me want to use it for one project or another. Node.js is so old now. it's reliable but boring. I want something new, bold, and daring. Node.js is not it, although it was ~11 years ago. It's interesting how our views change.
I still believe Rails is one of the best and most productive web frameworks out there and using it for a new project is a no brainer. I hold no special love for Ruby but Rails feels more like a DSL for creating websites than anything else. Sure it's not the fastest stack out there but the vast majority of websites will never outgrown it.

I think a part of the reason why it has become "boring" is that everything's already there and so you don't read every week about a new shiny thing like in the good ol' RailCasts days.

I have a deno app in production and it is working just fine. However, I still think node is superior when you self host when you are not using docker. Deno afaik still doesn't support any way of running one process for every CPU like the cluster module in Node.js.

I like to run my shit on the metal and without Docker and it feels like Deno was designed to run on Docker or some other kind of virtual containerized environment.

However, you can run it on node thanks to pm2, but I guess why even run on Deno in the first place?
I'd still choose Python/Django as the basis for a startup now. Would probably choose Ruby/Rails if that was where my expertise lied, although I still see lots of Python engineers (in London) and few Ruby engineers.

I think the pattern of a monolith that's very easy to rapidly develop on, plus specialist services around the edge that might be high performance/security/etc and are written in languages like Rust is a pretty good strategy. Personally, having seen the speed of development on a Django project, it's hard to justify much else for the boring CRUD core of a service.
Except they are playing catch up with what Microsoft says Typescript is supposed to mean.

I rather have pure JavaScript, or use the Typescript from source, without having to figure out if a type analysis bug is from me, or the tool that is catching up to Typescript vlatest.

Anyone surprised?

The copyright industry is hugely stubborn and they will keep escalating things -- likely there will again be a few arrests of torrent users in an attempt of scaremongering -- until people start leaving in droves.

Many people act like not watching shows or movies every other day is difficult. Nope, it's just fine, and many other people discover that every day.

I'd like to see the copyright lobby outlaw, you know, your right to just NOT subscribe to anything at all. Like, please incarcerate me for wanting to walk through the park and not sit in front of your streaming service! I'd like to see you try.

Fun times ahead, supposedly, and I take pleasure in watching them bleed.

> Cuba or Venezuela were richer than Spain in the 50s just to give you a couple of examples. And Venezuela has natural resources.

Sorry, I checked GDP per capita charts, and it appears that Cuba was not richer than Spain in 50s. It would be implausible that a small country with little natural resources would become richer than the country that colonized it in so little time.

And Venezuela become poorer than Spain in 1982. So it had no relation with "take everything from the others and give to the poor".

Counterpoint for your argument: outside the west, between non-alignment countries, only places where marxist-leninist revolutions happened produced powers that were able to seriously compete with the west. For example, URSS and China.

Boeing and Wall Street quarterly thinking is a special kind of stupid.

"Just over a year and a half later, after the pandemic reduced demand for the long-range Dreamliner due to the drop in international travel, Calhoun and Boeing decided it needed to preserve cash and could no longer justify two 787 plants. It had a choice between consolidating production to a veteran plant in Washington state staffed by unionized employees and a non-union South Carolina plant. It decided to close the unionized line in Washington and keep the South Carolina plant.

But it soon had quality problems with the 787 Dreamliners being produced there, leading to two costly halts in deliveries, one lasting over a year."

This is not correct, the bitrates are actually cca 2x that high. I don't have YIFY much, went for RARBG since they released literally everything I cared about and wanted a bit of uniformity, always with subs, bad releases got PROPER fix etc. But they both aimed at same file sizes.

X265 1080p movies for both rippers are roughly 1.5-2GB per average movie, which is on average 1.5-2h long. You won't find better quality in this size range, in same way 7-10GB seems a sweet spot for 4k (especially with AV1 instead of HEVC). Not sure who & why downloads those 80GB full bluray releases.
Sounds like just a worse smartphone.

Why not? Isn't it immensely good thing to guide manufacturers to make lighter and smaller EVs? Less resources and less energy spend. After all the goal is to lower emissions so attacking on all areas should be the way to go. You want an EV, you must accept that it is smaller and lighter than other options.
Where do you live that speed limits are only 45mph on freeways?
I also recommend symex[1]. Although it is more “locked-in” to s-expressions than other solutions (which takes some getting used to at first), I find that for me this is exactly what makes movement feel much more intuitive and editing much more precise.

The one thing I don’t like is that symex depends on so many other plugins (especially Evil, which I am trying to swap out with the more lightweight meow), but this will apparently change soon. They are also working towards support for non-Lisp languages via tree-sitter, but I don’t know how well it works.

Not a huge fan of poetry since it does not comply with standards (PEP621 PEP518...). But it has a great UX compared to alternatives. My go-to has been PDM: which is basically PEP-compliant poetry. But it is being maintained by one dev only and support for containers is not great...
Yeah the problems it is meant to solve are not problems that most frontend developers have. Frontend developers are often constrained by development time and maintainability, not performance. Frontend developers care about expressing their code in the most succinct and maintainable way: how can I do something with the least amount of boilerplate possible? That's why we have frameworks: to standardize common patterns in web development and cut down on the amount of time required to build an application. Most frontend developers are not working on performance-heavy applications that require WASM, they're working on forms which get POST'd directly to an API somewhere that does all the real heavy lifting (or just serves as a CRUD interface to a database)
I like state mandated car insurance (provided by provate companies).

While there may be downsides, I'm happy to know that if a car hits me or my car, there is an insurance who pays (and it goes not to my insurer).
> So far I couldn't exceed 1 GB/s/core [4], so more research is needed. If you have any ideas - I am all ears!

I don't know much about the space you're working in, but some things I'd point out:

* 32b and 64b SIMD multiplication have very high latency on Intel CPUs (actually, expect multiplication to have high latency in general on any CPU). If you're not using multiple independent chains of zmm registers, performance will suck

* _mm512_set_epi64 with memory sources likely performs poorly. See if you can do full vector loads and swizzle the data into position (i.e. unpack/shuffle operations)

* do you really need to split the string into 4 parts? Can you just use the same "part", but offset each lane by a byte?

* what about CRC64? Like 32/64b multiplication, CLMUL/PMULL instructions tend to have high latency, so might not help on that front, but there may be other benefits
Google Docs are incompatible with complex formatting (LibreOffice and even Office365 are too). Moreover, even the Word itself is kinda incompatible with complex formatting: sooner or later one of your collaborators will copy/paste some text with a formatting you will be just unable to change/clear.

Anyway, Word «collaborative» features are so much worse than git repository and pull requests! And even you need to collaborate with some extremely non-technical folks, in the case of LaTeX they still use add comments to the PDF file — and this workflow is still way more productive than editing the same Word document.

Other reasons to not to use Word in collaborative pipelines are already mentioned in neighbor threads.

Hi from E17!
This may be a blessing in disguise. DEF CON has grown massively to the point where the number of attendees who want to go to the various villages all day equals or even surpasses the attendees interested in the main talks. However, those villages have historically been given very small spaces. This past DEF CON, the Cloud Securitt village had a line down the hallway and escalator pretty much all of Friday and Saturday. Even the vendor area had to be carefully managed to ensure not too many people were inside at the same time.

Hope this allows them to really spread their wings a bit more.
I agree but it's an interesting problem, things like parking spaces and roads will still have to be made to the size of largest vehicle that will use them and I imagine more cars in the same amount of road will lead to even more traffic.
