I think I was imagining a useful operation level lower than the regular uOp — one less akin to programming a RISC processor, and more akin to the direct control over individual RTL signal lines — similar to the "instruction word" of signal-line states directly encoded by a row of the op-decoder PLA of a 6502.

Right now, AFAICT, even when executing a uOp stream from L0 cache, several "planning" systems are still active — juggling caches around and deciding routing between them; renaming registers; switching between power "license" states; etc. None of these decisions are explicit even in uCode for modern CPUs, so they have to be made, over and over again, even when running from uOp cache. Which means the silicon that's making these decisions can't ever go dark, even when running from uOp cache.

A "nanocode" would be a version of microcode that burns in all these "planning"-system decisions — and which can thereby put all the "planning" silicon to sleep. There would be "nanoOps" for explicitly wiring registers to other registers or cache buffers, for adding precise numbers of delay cycles, etc. And these would all happen at Nth-of-a-cycle-precise points in the execution stream, indicated by either entire nOp instructions, or pragma bits on nOp instructions.

(Given this, to usefully function, these "nanoOps" would either likely need to be bytecode and be decoded+executed at some ridiculously high frequency relative to the regular CPU clock — or they would need to be some arcane parallelized packing of what was originally a serial stream of uOps, such that you get VLIW nOps where all the pragmas you want to have happen for the next CPU cycle are indicated in the instruction-word at once as individual signal-line bits. Just like the 6502 PLA output "instruction word", actually!)

I know this probably sounds like nonsense — the instruction stream would be so much more bloated than microcode that it probably wouldn't be worth it. But that assumes an instruction stream that needs to live in RAM and get shuttled through layers of caches to reach the decoder. But what if the instruction stream could be loaded into a reserved SRAM area within the CPU itself — an SRAM that would effectively act as EEPROM (in that it would be loaded from CPU NVRAM on boot); and which you could directly drop the instruction pointer into (in nCode decode mode), skipping RAM+caching entirely?

I mention this, because I've always had a vague hypothesis that Intel x86 CPUs specifically already have something akin to this implementation of a "nanocode" + reserved SRAM area that holds some of it — specifically for the purpose of programming custom dynamic RTL for instructions after CPU release to hotfix CPU errata. It's something they had to learn the necessity of over and over again, after releasing CPUs with bugged instructions, all the way back to the FDIV bug.
Yes! We got one last year but we didn't use it on the Atlantic crossing as we were trying to do a bit of a digital detox.
I don't think there are any (even far) leftwanting to ban non-diverse representation.
I think it's impossible to ban 'conservative thoughts' because that's such a poorly defined phrase.
However there are people who want to ban religion.
One difference is that a much larger proportion of far right (almost all of them) want to ban lgbtq depiction and existence compared to the number of far left who want to ban religion or non-diverse representation.

It says on the wikipedia article itself
'The horseshoe theory does not enjoy wide support within academic circles; peer-reviewed research by political scientists on the subject is scarce, and existing studies and comprehensive reviews have often contradicted its central premises, or found only limited support for the theory under certain conditions.'

First off I love this analog programming idea. I have young children who I would love to try this out with.

Maybe missed something in skimming through the blog post but seems like primarily it's simulating doing up/down/left/right and navigating a character through a maze. For some reason this seems to be the most popular approach for apps that teach kids programming.

i.e. https://kodable.com, which one of my kids is into
and https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now.

I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I think when kids grok these things these apps become just types of glofiried education flavoured video games. There are a lot of things in kodable for instance that I feel are just basic web games with coding terms slapped on it.

https://scratch.mit.edu/ is more like 'programming' imo, even at the level of the objective -- having a blank canvas to create something. It seems a little advanced for my kids right now though.
I was just thinking this morning how I wanted something like Decap CMS but a bit simpler. Got this running on Cloudflare in ten mins and it seems great so far. Thanks!
Do we have options for developing our own custom connectors? For ex, not much known apps like Erpnext etc.. In other words, any app not in danswer, we should be able to create custom connector and use..
"US senator from the 1800s" includes Hiram R. Revels, who served in office 1870 - 1871 — the Reconstruction Era. He was elected by the Mississippi State legislature on a vote of 81 to 15 to finish a term left vacant. He also was of Native American ancestry. After his brief term was over he became President of Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical College.

I agree, though I assumed (shame on me) these were in reference to events more current than 4 years ago. But, I’m not always completely in touch with US news or politics either.
I watched an old Tom Scott video of him predicting what the distant year 2030 would look like. In his talk, he mentioned privacy becoming something quaint that your grandparents used to believe in.

I’ve wondered for a while if we just adapt to the point that we’re unfazed by fake nude photos of people. The recent Bobbi Althoff “leaks” reminded me of this. That’s a little different since she’s a public figure, but I really wonder if we just go into the future assuming all photos like that have been faked, and if someone’s iCloud gets leaked now it’ll actually be less stressful because 1. They can claim it’s AI images, or 2. There’s already lewd AI images of them, so the real ones leaking don’t really make much of a difference.
That having enough money lets you get away with things?
> White flight, however, is entirely just about white people just wanting to get away from black people.

Redlining was one of FDR's racist policies. The resulting non-white areas were cheaper and became cheaper still than white ones for many reasons. Under LBJ, redlining was finally made illegal. Then the threat of declining property values due to "darkening" of neighborhoods could be used to clear out white neighborhoods and buy up real estate at bargain prices! That's white flight.

It's a little more complicated than "I don't want to be near that person on the bus."
Very few people suffering from any serious disease are able to engage in advocacy in promoting research. I mean, debilitating fatigue itself isn't exactly an exclusive, or rare symptom.

The main issue is probably how little we know about the body in detail, really. Especially the immune system. And if your starting point is a diagnosis of "well, it's nothing else", that's a moving target, anyway. I guess, you could count a lot of basic research as CFS research.
I think this is more a personal preference rather than something practical. As a counter-example, I've implemented Ansible-like syntax as a configuration for a couple of unrelated projects, and people like it because it is similar to Ansible, which is used for infrastructure management. I doubt I'd do that by writing a parser for Python-like configuration language.

Also, don't forget that yaml is way easier to pick up by non-python developers and people unfamiliar with programming.
We’re all pretty lucky to live on a planet where the moon the the right size and position so this can happen.

Fortran has officially had the concept of modules for 35 years, which just made its way to the C++ world in 2020. It's the people who cannot update and sync with contemporary technology and remain stuck to COMMON blocks.

Ask HN: Deriving modern markets from first principles?
Are there any books/websites that start from actual scratch and rederive the modern financial system from first principles?

e.g. "Alice has an apple orchard, Bob has a banana orchard. They'd like to trade these directly, but apple season isn't the same as banana season. Therefore, Alice gives Bob an apple in exchange for a token, then uses that token later to obtain a banana from Bob. We've now derived the concept of money."

But do that for the much more complex topics (stocks, bonds, loans, interest, etc.)

Some context: I like this mechanism for learning new things, because it's easy to be assured of understanding something if you are forced to learn everything that underpins it.

(For a comparison to tech-topics, see nand2tetris, which starts at a NAND gate (the most fundamental electronic building block) and builds a full computer, programming language, etc and ends with building Tetris. This is hugely useful to understanding how the parts of a computer work)

> The immediate threat offers the opponent 5/6 losing moves, whereas yours offers only 2/6 losing moves.

This would be relevant if humans made their choice with a significant amount of randomness. But I argue that in this specific situation, very nearly every human will play to block the obvious threat.

I believe humans will be more likely to pick one of the two losing moves in the slightly more abstract/delayed threat scenario, than they would be to pick one of the 5 losing moves in the immediate threat scenario.

There is no practical preimage attack against MD5, it would work fine in this case.
I will also dogpile on this and add my own experience and enthusiastic agreement - 100% totality in a big open field is absolutely mind-blowing cool.

Some friends and I did this for the 2017 eclipse in Nashville. We drove 30 minutes north and happened across a huge group of nerds in a big green park and the moment of totality was absolutely bonkers.

It gets true twilight dark, the birds and crickets start going wild, and you see this glowing reddish sunset color perfectly evenly along the base of the horizon. That part was the most fascinating to me, because I realized that comes from the diffraction (diffusion?) of the light from above and all around, and NOT from the “edge of the sun below the horizon” as we all kinda assumed.

(Note I am likely very materially wrong about that explanation so I’d love to be properly corrected.)

Anyway, regardless, go experience 100% totality on the ground!
Great to hear, and glad I did not lie about it being easy to deploy.

Do get the updates I'll be pushing in the next few days as I'm sure I'll find bugs here and there (I just pushed a hotfix 5 minutes ago [1]).

I find it grotesque.

It could have been a park, a farm, a forest. It could have been left as an interesting ruin for humans to explore and nature to reclaim. But in the name of some selfish artistic vision, this person built a vast concrete wasteland.

Good art triggers strong emotions, I suppose. I feel horror and revulsion.

Crazily people still expect stuff to continue as normal after ChatGPT, Vision Pro, Stable Diffusion, etc.

This is not going to be linear improvement processes... and people are not thinking of single camera, single sensor, single purpose uints.

The only thing that makes sense to put it all together is something that is either completely necessary or completely flexible.

Come back in a year & reflect on this!
This is the entire problem. What we need is a system that is based on true information paired with AI. For instance, if a verified list of founding fathers existed, the AI should be compositing an image based on that verified list.

Instead, it just goes "I got this!" and starts fabricating names like a 4 year old.
Because GNU are on a Mission. They’re not out to make things people want, they’re out to make things people ought to be wanting (according to them). This is not necessarily bad - the world needs some idealists - but it does interfere with fundraising.

Minimax seems logical on its face... but it costs nothing to slightly increase % chance of a win. And wins have some value over draws.
I am as modern and jaded as the next person, but yes, absolutely - if you can be in the 100% totality, get there. It is incomparably awe-inspiring - it is immediately apparent why this sort of thing was seen as an omen from the gods to be respected. You will feel small.

I assume if one is talented enough, then he or she holds the most power in any negotiation.

I, for one, am not talented at what I do, and have no power in any negotiation. I couldn't even negotiate salary, since I offer literally nothing no one else couldn't offer.

If the workplace mirrored the animal kingdom, I am more of the type of animal that feasts on carrion than hunts for fresh prey. Thus, I would never be able to swing such a deal.

However, I do hope those that can swing such a deal do so, so that it may systemically trickle down to us scavenger type.
Eh, lifting houses with jacks is a well-established process. As long as there's crawl-space access to the understructure of the house, you could slide some jacks in there, jack it up six inches or a foot, do whatever maintenance you need, and then jack it back down.
"They are clearly stated in the package insert"

I guarantee they are not all on there. For example, risks of glioma related to progestin, or cervical cancer risks. This type of scenario is the entire basis of the article.

Most patients (and many doctors) make the choice without reading the insert anyways. The insert is generally not provided to the patient prior to purchase and most don't care read it anyways due to other concerns.

"But indeed, for a lot of women a pregnancy would be far riskier than the side effects of birth control."

For a subset, sure. But for the majority of women prescribed (young and generally healthy), that statement may not be true. The majority of contraceptive use is primarily of social desire. Medical necessity is a secondary concern. We can easily see this in the fact that most women are never consulted about the medical risks of either scenario when requesting birthcontrol and an overall consultation on possible options is usually limited and in some cases absent (although it has been improving as more options become more mainstream).
Certainly extreme, how bizarre
Yes! And we'd love it if you contribute them back to the project! More than half of the connectors are community contributed at this point and it's by far the most common area of contribution.

There's a simple Document interface that needs to be implemented to provide stuff like title, content, link, etc. From there the rest of the Danswer code takes it and handles the indexing and making it available for querying.

If you absolutely can not relocate, then remote is a condition, and you will turn down any offer that is not remote.

If you absolutely can not take a pay cut, then a certain salary is a condition, and you will turn down any offer that is less than you currently make.

True overall (regarding overall alpha emitter load), the issue with fallout is radioactive Iodine, Stronium, Cesium, etc. Those elements have short half lives and won't be as present in significant quantities in flue emissions because of the age of coal (just as daughter products in much lower concentrations than the Uranium). Notably, they're also present in 'hot' reactor fuel, albeit in different ratios/qtys (usually) than fallout.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fallout]

For actual studies on the impacts, see [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11109179/]

Notably, Stronium-90 levels in deciduous teeth of kids born in the 80's.

"Strontium-90 concentrations in deciduous (baby) teeth of 515 children born mainly after the end of worldwide atmospheric nuclear bomb tests in 1980 are found to equal the concentrations in children born during atmospheric tests in the late 1950s. Recent Sr-90 concentrations in the New York-New Jersey-Long Island metropolitan area have exceeded the expected downward trend seen in both baby teeth and adult bone after the 1963 ban on atmospheric testing. Sharp rises and declines are also seen in Miami, Florida. In Suffolk County, Long Island, Sr-90 concentrations in baby teeth were significantly correlated with cancer incidence for children 0 to 4 years of age. "

Stronium in teeth is a proxy for Stronium in bones too, and those don't fall out.
So, in this example, you don't see any problem with a market leader offering billions in investment earmarked for use in buying that market leader's products? Assuming that there is some level of economies of scale with regards to cloud computing, how would a new entrant to the market compete?

And is this not anticompetitive only because they used a massive pile of cash to corner the market? If so, why are mergers and acquisitions reviewed at all?

With regards to the accounting of it, are you okay with Microsoft being able to use this as a way to offset billions in profits today and effectively amortize those gains over a few years as OpenAI spends the cash on Azure hosting?

Forget the legal technicalities for a moment, would you as a citizen be okay with Microsoft being able to act this way? Do we want massive corporations able to block markets off as long as they can afford it, and hide away profits to avoid paying taxes?

It definitely is easier without AI. Before, if you saw a photo you could be fairly confident that most of it was real (yes, photo manipulation exists but you can't really create a photo out of nothing). Videos, far more trustworthy (and yes, I know that there's some amazing 3D renders out there but they're not really accessible). With these technologies and the rate at which they're improving, I feel like that's going out of the window. Not to mention that the more content that is generated, the easier it is that something slips by despite being fake.
