The car one is the most frustrating for me just because global warming is but one of the many problems associated with car-only infrastructure in countries such as the United States.

Your point about bunkers is kind of interesting. If society collapses the bunkers are really pointless. I think deep down the “rich people” building them know that. It’s just the same kind of silly doomsday prepping that regular folks do. 50 guns? Patagonia provisions? Plastic tubs of rice? All the same phenomenon.

What I find so bewildering is that since the early 1900s the “rich people” seem to have lost their minds a bit more or perhaps just hate themselves and society.

We went from a notable history of great public works to satisfy the ego, libraries to the glory of mankind, beautiful commissioned artwork and sculptures, and more to… well… “my name on a hospital/university”, effective altruism, bigger yachts and doomsday bunkers, and sprawling McMansions filled with boring bowling lanes for boring people.

Of course this is a generalization and, I think a lot of good work is going in to funding research projects and things like space exploration (making fun of wealthy people trying to launch rockets is way too nihilistic for my taste). But on the whole it really seems like our civilization hates itself and the actions of the wealthy seem to reflect that quite clearly.
An alternative explanation would be that this is caused by aliens who can wipe out your memories of them the moment you stop seeing them.

This is textbook geoengineering and people are wary of it because once you start with it, the environment becomes dependent on it to maintain balance.

Thank you for the explanation. It seems like the LLM "plays" to learn? That's very cool, thank you again.
In the [excellent] interview with Putin, Putin also called many US Presidents quite smart. Are you now also quite dubious of them, because of literally the exact same sort of "praise"? Calling it praise is not even rational - it is an observation. One may call Musk many things, but denying he's both quite intelligent and willful would be absurd.

True, but once you glance to the side and something catches your attention it's not unreasonable to turn your head to get more detail/resolution.

I use it to compare outputs from different models (along with OpenAI, MistralAI) and pick-and-choose-and-compose those outputs. I wrote an app[1] that facilitates this. This also allows me to work offline mode and not having to worry about sharing client's data to OpenAI or Mistral AI

Very interesting to think about, considering my anxiety tends to push me in the opposite direction, so I favore less crowded spaces or less physical closeness to other people.

The acoustic component is worth diving into, to me, since this is a big trigger. If the space is too loud, or cacophonous, I end up starting to lose higher-order functioning and have to vacate or wear my earplugs/noise-canceling headphones and just cut myself off from the sound (makes my job pretty awkward at times, tbh)

Small spaces amplify this acoustic aversion for me, especially when there are already people occupying the area. It's not claustrophobia, more of a "my brain will try to focus on all sounds at once and get sensory overload, so I probably should not go/stay there."

Anyway, thanks for the food fir thought.
I doubt iPhones are very common among russian soldiers. And Androids are probably mostly of Chinese origin (with Chinese custom OS).
Russia has always (somewhat fairly) been vocal that since the collapse of the Warsaw pact, Nato has no reason to exist other than to defend against a potential attack from Russia.

Nato have always acted as though that's true, and have pursued expanding the alliance to countries bordering Russia, and established missile defence installations there.

The closest we ever got to nuclear war was when Russia moved missiles to Cuba, so it doesn't take a geopolitical scientist to understand that the US is very uncomfortable about threats near its borders, but expects Russia to accept it the other way round.

I'm not up to date with what the propaganda systems are belching out in Russia, but I believe the original reason was something about Nazis in Ukraine, and it would not surprise me if the narrative is shifting to be 'Nato is creeping up on us again'. Which is odd, because Russia already has borders with Nato countries, and controlling Ukraine actually brings them closer to where Nato already has a strong foothold.

A lot of what's going on in Ukraine at the moment is linked to Sevastopol, I think. Russia absolutely cannot afford to lose Sevastopol. Not sure quite what happened that triggered the full scale invasion after the annexation of the Crimea, mind.

Edit: added a quite important “not”
Sure if you are counting cache misses or optimizing for a specific compute unit. Few people do that outside of AI, crypto, AV codecs, simulation, etc. If you are doing that you may need to specialize per arch anyway because you’re probably using vector units.

I was speaking to whether the code will work. The answer is almost always yes. Optimizations at a higher level such as algorithm choice or where allocations are performed also are architecture neutral. This is most optimization.

At least the image scaling does not appear to be in linear? Going by the notes in [0]:

Gimp and stb_image_resize results are subtly different from others, even for Bilinear. Looks like they do convert source sRGB image to linear, do filtering there, and convert back to sRGB.

You can definitely see that as a problem with bright lines (e.g. collar highlight in einar*.png) being darker in the upscaled Blender versions.

It mostly reads like a really bad article, disinformation actually, to me.
The complaints about the greenhouse emissions during production of an electric car without considering the emission over its lifespan are less than helpful.

Then the author claims that cars are "fast fashion" items and seems to not understand the difference between leasing (renting) and owning. Those 3 year old cars are not sent to the junkyard after the lease expires, which the author sort of acknowledges while still insisting that passing your usable car to someone else in order to drive a new one is a terrible thing.

Then the implicit suggestion that we should keep old internal combustion cars around in hopes that someone might someday develop a practical synthetic fuel sometime in the future is just weird, even if it might have some validity simply due to the environmental cost of building a new car, but is really just unsupported opinion.

It finally closes by recommending that people should simply continue driving their dirty old smoker cars unless "they do a lot of city centre motoring", but does not even mention public transit or bicycles.

It's more like saying you can make omelette without killing chickens, even though chickens were clearly involved at some point.

Alternatively, associate some confidence value with the statistics and make conservative choices when confidence is low and/or the expected difference is small.

Sometimes a sequential scan is faster than index lookups for each item. But the sequential scan is a risky gamble, whereas the index lookups have robust performance characteristics. It's not always clear which choice is the conservative one, but often it is.

I think this is a pretty interesting phenomenon, and I think it mostly comes down to team size and the need to make money.

On a passion project you're not getting paid which means expectations are low, you're not obliged to do anything and you're basically free to work on what you want, so you pick things which are interesting and impactful for you e.g. exploring a new technology or tool you're interested in.

As soon as there's money involved you introduce expectation from the person paying you, which means trying something novel is harder because there's a good chance it'll fail.

This is all just a long way of saying that when there's money involved I think people prefer an outcome which is predictable, even if there's a potentially much better solution but it comes with more risk.
Bold of you to assume that low-paid (and yet somehow grandmaster level chess playing) workers have never been exposed to search in any fashion.
Ask HN: What's going on with Azure Code Signing Service?
Does anyone have any idea when this service is going to become available to the public?

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/security-compliance-and-identity/azure-code-signing-democratizing-trust-for-developers-and/ba-p/3604669

I've tried reaching out to the them and had no reply.

I'd happily pay Microsoft £99/year like I have to give Apple in order to be able to sign my Windows installers.

Last time I got a code signing certificate it cost me roughly $180 for 3 years valid certificate, and it was just a simple certificate file that I could put into Azure secrets and sign my installers.

It's due for renewal soon and now the process seems exponentially harder (certificates delivered on hardware token?) and roughly $250/year if paying for 3 years, nearly $400 for a single year. What the hell happened in the past 3 years that justifies this change?

For my very low volume side hustle this is seeming like more hassle than it's worth... :(

You may have missed their point - if I'm hiring, I don't care what books you have read, how many internet points you have, or what online tests you have done well on. Those simply are not relevant to the actual question at hand which is: What can you accomplish if I bring you in to work with me?

So my worry would be that someone who comes in telling me about books and stack overflow street cred, even if that speak well to their tech knowledge, is not skilled enough to understand what is relevant.

>So 0.0012% of CO2 in atmosphere caused by humans. Nature is responsible for the remaining 0.0388% in atmosphere.

Unless you're discussing literal "human expelled co2", as in "the measure of peoples exhalations during breathing", then you're out by several orders of magnitude. The pre-industrial co2 concentration in the atmosphere trends between 180ppm - 300ppm. In the last hundred years, the concentration has increased to 420ppm.

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/carbon-dioxide/

For reference, each 1ppm in the atmosphere is around 7.8 gigatonnes of CO2. Humans currently create around 40gigatonnes of CO2 per year, roughly equating to 5ppm added per year. We add equivalent to 0.8% of the atmospheric CO2 per year.
I agree with you. It says the original CEO was a researcher himself and that's why he understood the risks funded the request. Things changed after his son-in-law took control as CEO. It doesn't mention if the son-n-law had any background in the industry or semiconductor research, or was just appointed CEO just because he was the son-in-law. I think that's where the company went wrong.
Sure, let’s lower everyone’s standards of living - except for the richest people who won’t change their behavior at all. That’s so politically toxic that its effectively a fantasy.

That’s the problem with these tax and prices based economic nudges. They’re effectively punishments, and everyone fucking hates unjust punishments. Think about the person who has to fly to visit a sick family member. Now they’re still flying the same amount, but they’re just a lot poorer. Well that’s an edge case! Of course, it’s also going to be the lead story on conservative media for a news cycle, followed by another and another and another story just like it.

Here's the unfortunate part of how the Canadian government works. Many of our laws (legislation) defer the specific implementation details to regulations. This specific ban likely doesn't need to go through the House of Commons or the Senate and can just be passed as an Order-in-Council that directs ISED (Canadian FCC) and CBSA (Canadian CBP) to modify their regulations to prohibit the device from use and import respectively. So long as there's an existing law in place that defers to regulations for banning specific devices or specific categories of devices, those regulations can be modified without parliamentary oversight.

It's the same approach they used for their recent (last 5 years) firearm bans. Whether or not I agree with what they're trying to accomplish with the bans, the ability to arbitrarily ban specific items without meaningful oversight isn't great for democracy.
They moved one of their use-cases back to a monolith, not their whole suite of applications/services.
I was referring to static sites, which the post talks about quite a bit. JSX is just a sane templating language.

Much of the hydration stuff is accidental completely, I would argue that all is with the advent of search engine scrapers that give the page some time to render. The goal of including associated data for the first render is essential complexity - it can save up to 200ms of latency, but there are simpler ways to do that (such as data islands, early hints, or SSE). At that point JSX is, again, nothing more than a really good templating language.

Data islands are my choice because they worked in the 90s meaning they will certainly work today. XML back then, but JSON works just as well. Of course, hydration is assumed to be the only solution for the react-size-fits-all crowd.
To be fair to space exploration, Elon has by far the best bunker plan. He knows there are a couple decades left until shit really hits the fan.

Hahahahaha... So, I um have a very similar script that I manage for 'KTMJ' - it's not to find deactivated users, but to synchronize certain ldap attributes to another system. This organization is large enough (300k+ users) that typically, between the time that the script queries ldap, prepares the synchronization file, then actually performs the synchronization import which validates if each user still exists, there are already several hundred accounts that have been deactivated during that window and reported in an 'error' log file. (The actual synchronization and 'error' log file are outside of my direct control)

Why did I laugh maniacally?

Due to 'budget constraints' my contract is being terminated (they have just been through several rounds of layoffs, I was expecting this), my account will be one of the ones deactivated on the next monthly cycle - prior to that, I will have to handover the processing and expected 'deactivated' users 'error' logging behaviour to my replacements...
