Doing consistent reads this way is a fairly old technique, at least back to the 80s (I can dig up some papers if folks are interested).

Spanner, rather famously, uses this range approach, but a good number of other systems are based on similar approaches. The important thing for reads is getting an upper error bound from the clock, having storage that can perform reads at that time (eg using MVCC), and having a way for storage to know when it's seen all writes before a timestamp.

This can be implemented using PTP, and that's the approach we use at AWS inside some database services.
There's a small minimise button located next to each post on HN.

A mosque can have hundreds of worshippers who turn up every Friday like clockwork. Each might know the 20-30 other people from a similar geographic background and barely talk to the rest, let alone have any idea that they're up to something nefarious.
I did some digging and found out that the motivational speaker industry was tangled up with multilevel marketing pyramid schemes. Motivational speakers may have done legitimate business for large institutions back in the 80s and 90s, but those institutions must not have seen the results they wanted because by the early 2010s, the big names were all speaking for Amway, Vemma, etc. to large crowds, to encourage/pressure people to stay in the program even when it was obvious they were losing money. Any time you see "power of positive thinking" type stuff, chances are it's propaganda for an MLM or MLMs in general. Most of the "thinkers" cited in Rhonda Byrne's The Secret were MLM affiliated. The rest were running scams of their own.
Very curious to see how they implement it exactly, how much spam there will be and how many of my friend deactivate the feature immediately.

Yes, but why? I have an entry level Kawi and it gets about 60MPG, which is already higher than most cars. Motorcycles already accelerate pretty quickly, so the electric drivetrain doesn't offer a lot there. I can see this making more sense at the higher CC levels, because the bigger bikes burn more fuel and are heavier. Not seeing the big deal for smaller CC sporty bikes.

So I just installed the Google Gemini app on my (completely stock) Pixel 7 and let it replace the normal Google Assistant. This is half baked AF. It can't create reminders in Google's own Tasks app. It can't control Spotify. It is able to set timers tho. And that's about 95% use case for me. Heading back to the OG Assistant now...

> But AI has given the nonprofit foundation and its cofounder Baker a fresh sense of mission in creating alternatives to tackle deepfakes, data privacy issues and the power of big tech. It launched a Mozilla.ai startup last year and Mozilla Corp. is focused on product extensions like Mozilla Monitor that wipe subscribers’ data off the web.

Ironically, it has been Facebook with its release of Llama models and hat you can run yourself that has actually increased end user power and control with respect to AI. Having something that you can run on your machine (either owned or rented) is intrinsically more empowering and private for the user than sending your data off to some other company subject to their rules and their notions of “safety”.

Sounds like you are doing a few photos at a time? My library count is now over 200k photos. It worries me that it is almost impossible to get a guaranteed backup of them from iCloud to local storage. Even when I tick the box in Mac photos app to store originals, from my own testing I’ve found lots of images are still only locally loaded when first viewed. Not great for making local backups!

The Simulation thing is one of the biggest pseudo-science discussions ever. What exactly would be the difference between a simulation and the "real world"? Nobody ever says anyting about that. It makes the entire question preposterous.
I feel like this is largely Apple realizing that their iPhone, iPad, and even Mac customers sometimes need to use Windows.

Given this also went along with an iCloud for Windows redesign.

Instead of them fighting Windows, make the experience slightly better for their customers which really just helps keep them in your Ecosystem, just slightly expanded.

The addition of Google One (2tb of google storage, VPN, etc) to the $20/month offering makes a compelling case to switch over from ChatGPT Plus. Assuming the AI feature set is equivalent.
I must say, I’m surprised to see so many HN users (who, despite being biased towards having more disposable income are also supposedly more discerning) simply immediately upgrading their Google One plans to the new offering before testing this and seeing how it fares.

Being able to answer these questions is a pre-requisite for AGI. After all, there ARE humans capable of doing that, so, if the AI can't do it no matter how hard it tries, then that means there ARE human capabilities that the AI can't replicate (thus, it isn't an AGI). And it seems like no LLM is making any progress at all in that kind of prompt, which is why I use it as a core benchmark on my "AGI-meter".
Anecdote about people at different stages of that learning:

I worked at FORTH, Inc. one summer in the 80s before starting college. They sold a Forth system which they were converting to a new language standard, which (among other things) had changed the canonical booleans from 1-for-true to -1. One day I noticed the trig functions were giving wrong answers.

So I bring up the code with my boss, and it's pretty hard for us to figure out -- compact, no explanation, tables of random-looking numbers. Someone stops by (Dean Sanderson? iirc), we tell him what's up, he looks at the screen, and almost right away he's like "Oh, this is easy! All you need to do is swap the lines in the tables."
Fine, you drive between London and Paris, but I'm going to catch the Eurostar (tube and metro). You drive between New York and SF, but I'm going to fly.

It's sad, really: Meta could be making amazing VR headsets and transforming the way people use them by making them more general-purpose (like PCs) but instead they're making VR headsets into toys. Even the Quest Pro, which was meant to be for business use, was a locked-down, hard-to-hack (aka hard for developers to fully utilize) Android toy. And when I say "toy" I mean, it's the software equivalent of a hard plastic device with tamper-resistant screws and "no user serviceable parts" intent.

Their dead-set focus on data collection and advertising is sabotaging their ability to make (potentially billions in) revenue from traditional models. I know Zuckerberg and many other CEOs want their "core business" to be just one thing with all the other businesses being offshoots of that one thing but the reality is that they've become too big for that. Zuck needs to give up on the idea of, "our business is data collection and targeted ads for consumers" and realize the truth: Their business is technology.
this is the equivalent of fly-tipping. please don't do it.
That's quite a straw man. Looking back at Berlin Christmas Market terrorist attack, we can see what a failure of surveillance can result in.
Yeah, it's really something that you have to get buy-in for.

You could always make a commit that just has the reformatting when you do start editing a file. If it turns out you didn't need to edit that file after all, then you can revert just that commit easily. And if you did, you can collect up all the reformatting commits into a PR as a first step.

The flip side of this is making minimal surgical small changes, and then doing the refactoring after the change. The key message though is split them.

Refactoring doesn't change behavior, so refactoring efforts should be judged only on "tests exist that cover the functionality, those tests continue to pass, the code is easier to maintain". It's when you add "changed functionality, so we changed the test" to review at the same time, that this becomes a hassle.
I think the issue is that some people are willing to work quite hard, but only intermittently. (Though that doesn't necessarily disqualify them from being a contractor either, I suppose.)

The difference between Science and Religion is not proof, because nothing is ever really proved in Science.
The difference is that for Science there are clear criteria for dis-proof.
A science fact is a fact not because we proved it but because we have repeatedly failed to disprove it.

So if there is an answer to the question what would it take for you to disbelieve in X. its Scientific if there is no answer it is religion

There is an answer to the question: what would it take for you to stop believing in the 1st law of thermodynamics? Everyone pretty much agrees what it would take and it has never happened.

So to thw case in point. What would it take for someone to disbileve that we are in a simulation. Answer Nothing because you can always assume a more complex simulation. Ergo it falls in the realm of religion.
People have a big tendency to overestimate how hard is to get over some temporary problema and it's long term importance, when those problems actually tend to commoditize over medium term. Now there are chips, before it was manufacturing and shipping, even before there was oil.

It definitely hiccups in high traffic times, but in practice it works reasonably well around the country. Its generally not meant for high volume intersections, where you'd expect a light instead.

You don't know what you're talking about, is probably the nicest thing I can say about your comment.

Khrushchev memoirs were not official Soviet history, they were recorded by him after he had fallen from grace and was living in house arrest as a retiree, later smuggled out to the West by his friends. You can read them and judge for yourself how candid they are. Of course he might paint himself in a more favourable light than somebody else would, that's expected. But your comment comes off as both rude and ignorant – unless I'm mistaken and you are of such a superior intellect that you can pass quick judgement on any historical happening without having to bother yourself with the sources.

naming things is hard

Standard google. All about the rebrand.
This is a common practice in other high altitude, high traffic mountains, such as Aconcagua. Rangers actually watch you deposit your excrement bag and fine you if you do not do so or they catch you leaving your waste on the mountain. I'm frankly surprised its just now becoming a policy on Everest.

It sounds gross, but in practice it is not as bad as it seems. For anyone interested in the details, it is stored in multiple bags (one bag per movement, then multiple larger outer bags) and freezes pretty quickly, so there isn't really any smell.
Often some of the most impressive feats are just parlor tricks.

It seems to be something all large software companies struggle with. The product team comes up with some cool or interesting thing, gives it a decent name, then some marketing manager trying to justify their position decides everything needs to be rebranded under the same umbrella, and a wave of product renames gets started, but never fully finished. Then, two to three years later, some marketing manager needs to justify their position again, and so decides to rebrand everything under a new name, even though the last name change hasn't even been fully finished yet.

It's also worth noting that Facebo - er - Meta has been one of the few to train its models on data it actually has an unambiguous legal right to.
I humour the idea that we probably are in one, and that its creator(s) are asking the same questions like us, like if there is free will.

If the idea of new universes being spawned from black holes is a thing, and the Hawking radiation emitted from them is somehow measurable, it would be interesting to see if unexpected data is returned! Sod's law it would take the age of our own universe to find out, hopefully it runs quicker for the super user.

You know, I actually should start a blog. I hope you don't mind if I just talk about the PC here.

Wanted a retro build for mid to late 90s games, did almost an entire year of research and after a failed attempt involving Socket 939 I finally found some guy on Facebook Marketplace of all places who was selling a "Retro Pentium 3 PC". I was shocked because I live in central Alabama and cool stuff is never sold here, me and my brother went to meet him and paid for it. I already knew the specs from messaging him but it had a 733MHz Coppermine P3, an odd 320MB of PC100 RAM, a Netgear GA311 (which I already had like 3 of) and a Voodoo3 3000 AGP. I cleaned it out, put it in a brand new ATX Cooler Master case, gave it a SATA hard drive with a SATA to IDE adapter, repasted the CPU, put in a new PSU, installed a Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS, got Windows 98 SE set up with Photoshop 7, Office XP and a crap load of games and it's been one of my favorite pieces of technology I've ever owned. Beat Deus Ex for my first time on there and my life was changed, my vision is now augmented.

YouTube (mostly PhilsComputerLab) and VOGONS taught me how to work on all this retro stuff, and when I was a kid I would make XP and 98 virtual machines for fun so I got really used to both of them. (I still like 2000 the most)
> Doesn't the non-determinism of QM in fact say that there's fundamentally an issue with computability?

I don't see why it should mean that in the theoretical sense. In the sense that it could signal that we are in a simulation that has a precision limitation ie it shows the limit of the computability of the simulation, then that seems quite plausible.

In fact I've argued before that a universe that has a consistent set of (relatively) straightforward rules, with a lot of symmetries, and a precision limit, would probably be hallmarks of a simulated universe. Because it would save on compute assuming that the simulator has vast but finite resources to run the simulation.
Py is not installed when you get it from windows store. Another gotcha to worry about.

The story about python on windows is a nightmare for new people for these reasons. And installing packages - while not as bad anymore - is a mixed bag due to fewer precompiled C extensions than on linux.
