What difference does that make? Irony tends to decay over time. Probably plenty of "real" accents started because someone thought elongating their vowels or whatever was funny, then their mates started doing it, then eventually it just became something you did in that area.
One thing I have learned from HN is that datetime issues are hard, prolific, programming language agnostic, and not to trust myself to get the logic right. (The same applies to floats.)
Yesterday in New Zealand (29 Feb) couldn't fill up my car at two petrol stations - both had self-service terminals that were down because of leap year. Ended up having to go inside at a station at pay the old fashioned way.
Yes! It's anniversary based. What went wrong actually was the notification part. As Feb 29 was not an expected anniversary, it didn't schedule any notification to be sent.
Only tangentially related....but why do so many people seem obsessed with the "network" when it comes to chargers?

I'm a non-tesla EV owner, and on the relatively rare occasions that I need a lvl 3 charger, I do find myself almost (but not entirely) exclusively using EA chargers, but this is because A)they are usually conveniently located and B) they are almost always the cheapest available option. I do not care at all that they are part of the same network, and I would happily use whatever charger was convenient and cheap, just like I used to do with gas stations.

There is no advantage, to me as a driver, of it being part of a "network".
Ooh intriguing. I’m learning mandarin at the moment, and also happen to have some sodium valproate lying around for my epilepsy. I’m not currently taking it but I could give it a go and report back.. :D
Database Scaling
>> Note it is not even trivial to detect the character given our model does not train with any labels or have any inductive biases to do so.

Why not add inductive biases then and make your life easier? What's with this choice to try and do everything the hard way, presumably to make a point? In the end the point made is so specific that it translates to nothing that is usable in real problems.

See MuZero for example- sure, you can learn without being given the rules explicitly, just from the win/loss signal, but then that only works in board games and atari games, and without the chance of a snowball in hell that it will work in the real world. We're dazzled by the technical prowess, but real utility? Where is that?
That’s a wonderful example of often repeated nonsense.

Obesity is foremost an emotional problem, and typically needs to be addressed as such.

Despite what news headlines may say, the means of maintaining a healthy weight are no mystery, nor are the general contours of a healthy lifestyle:

- Eat a number of calories at your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) for maintenance, or 500-750 calories below that if you need to lose weight.

- Get regular exercise, both cardiovascular and resistance-bearing.

- Get sufficient sleep.

- Don’t smoke, and don’t drink (or limit alcoholic drinks to special occasions).

- Drink plenty of water for hydration, and avoid sugar water (soda, etc.)

- Eat roughly 1 gram of lean protein for every pound of your ideal body weight.

- Eat a variety of vegetables, every day.

- Limit refined carbohydrates, and prefer fibrous, whole grains. (Eg, steel cut oats >> pancakes).

- Manage and reduce your stress, or recruit the help of a therapist if you don’t know how.

- Make time to do things you find meaningful and joyful.
The compiler doesn't do anything here that is hard to understand- its approximate solution works purely in terms of the control flow graph, so there is a very clear and bright dividing line between "you have a use of this variable here" and not, which is never impacted by anything subtle about the values of conditions or whatever.

The closest to head-scratching that I have ever seen here are the sorts of errors that include "note: value may be accessed in another iteration of this loop," or perhaps the corner cases that Polonius aims to solve if you count those.

Agree, and those evocative references were one of things I loved when first reading the Dune series many years ago as well as watching the '84 film. I still remember being taken aback at the reference to "Emperor Hitler" and the fact that knowledge of him was (rightfully) lost with time, but also along with most other knowledge of our era.

> The Kinesin in particular are cute.

Yes... though regrettably, that render is profoundly misleading. The payload is actually flailing around violently. Dancing in the molecular nanoscale moshpit from hell. Between each glacial step, the payload basically explores its entire tethered configuration space. Picture balloon in a hurricane tied to a mouse clinging to a wire, rather than a donkey towing a barge. The render optimizes for art over education, for pretty over engendering misconceptions.

Consider filming a runner, and only showing frames where the arms and legs are in the same unmoving positions, the rigid person quietly floating along over the ground. Or a soccer game render, of floating statues. Not without value, but profoundly misleading. Especially for the poor alien student, deeply unfamiliar with animal life and planetary surfaces.

One nice aspect of TFA, is rendering a moment frozen in time. Rendering non-bogus dynamics remains a hard open problem.
Sure, but those themes are drawn out via the facts of the story which have direct historical parallels. It seems like the Arabic elements are just window dressing and you could swap them out without affecting the story. But because it is drawing on real world events, even if you aren't aware of the history, you lose something if you try to make it more generic.

The proof is the movie version (at least Part I). The fremen feel less like an actual society with a coherent culture because they removed anything that tied them to the Middle Eastern.

I think this is true of fantasy in general, because the progenitor of the modern genre was Tolkien, a huge history/linguistics/mythology nerd. And one can easily argue that he set the precedent of taking history (often the middle ages) and imbuing it with the mythic/religious elements that people told stories about.

Look at GRRM and A Song of Ice and Fire. One of the subplots is basically, "What if Chinggis Khan was a chump who died but he had a blonde child bride that accomplished all the shit that he did in real life." Again, I don't think that makes his books bad, but in my experience, the more you study history, the more you realize how the real creativity of fantasy writers is what pieces of history and mythology they crib and recombine.

Ironic that one paragraph extols the virtues of forty year-old defaults, then the next recommends breaking something that already works.

Terrible, but not surprising. Though the headline feels like it's trying to imply the offending doorbells are Ring products (since those are presumably "Amazon's top-selling video doorbells" if we take that to mean "made by Amazon" and not just "sold by Amazon"... or that could be unintended, I suppose.
oh no, this again

aside from the usual "to each their own," i can't help but feel that kde nags you down with mostly inconsequential options meanwhile failing to nail the basics such as the basic aesthetic or performance. and, ironically, gnome being the solid blank slate it is makes it perfect for customisation. since gtk4 my application has been anything but black and white, and it has always been easier to make qt follow gtk theme than the other way around.

granted, some default gnome behaviour does annoy me, especially the new nautilus. nautilus simply doesn't show me anything useful in a dual window setup as it tries to cram every column of the list view, and the sidebar refuses to go away in my middling-dpi laptop monitor. still i can't live without type to search (somehow missing in nemo).
You must know which questions to ask and how to sift through all the hype marketing.

A lot of this info is in arxiv papers too.

Not the easiest stuff to search for.
If you want to be promoted, every single thing you discuss with your manager should center around that goal.

Any conversations about things going well, feedback, etc should always be framed as "am I getting closer to Senior?".

You really need to understand what the delta between where you currently are and where you are aiming for looks like, and make everything about closing that gap.

Many people do not even pass step 1, which is defining the delta with your manager. This can actually be fairly difficult, because it requires your manager to both understand your current level and have a strong understanding of what Senior looks like so they can explain the areas where you are lacking.

Once you have a delta you need to figure out what success looks like. If I'm currently bad at X, what does being good at X look like? Ideally you should be able to demonstrate and discuss progress between every 1:1. If you can't, your feedback loops are probably too short and it will take you a long time to improve.

I think SMART goals largely don't fit with skill growth, because operating at the next level is about learning new behaviours. They tend to be highly contextual, not specific. They do not tend to be measurable. They do not tend to be things that you can set timelines for, like "I will operate like X in 1mo". It's a holistic change in the way you function. Level matrices are extremely poor representations of the behaviours for each level. They tend to describe the outcomes of the behaviours, rather than the behaviours themselves.

Also, the reason this takes time is exactly because it's about learning new behaviours not following a checklist of things that Seniors do. You need time to make them habitual and build the intuition associated with them.

In an ideal (?) world, a refactoring would come along with a machine proof that the refactored code is equivalent to the original code (because otherwise, how can you be sure?). In that case, the compiler would also be able to prove that the code is still safe.

I believe that type checking should closely match the reasoning programmers do in their head, and thereby verify the correctness of that reasoning. Conversely, this means that programmers must express their reasoning through the type system. If something doesn’t typecheck, either the reasoning as expressed is wrong or incomplete, or the programmer has used some reasoning that cannot be expressed in the type system (meaning that the type system is lacking in that respect).
For the record, both ChatGPT-4 and Gemini Ultra affirmed that it's a valid date. Gemini reasoned through it and GPT-4 ran python code to make sure 2024 was divisible by 4.
I realised you've already ruled out the full-size ipods as too bulky - but a thought that crosses my mind once in a while, is that given the number of aftermarket parts for 5G/6G iPods - I'm surprised no-one's come up with an aftermarket logic board.

My desired feature set otherwise doesn't differ too much from yours. Flac, BT for headphones, wifi to sync (from something that isn't itunes), support for larger sdcards, and maybe charging over anything but the 30pin. And then that one annoying bug - it'd be nice if 'shuffle all' didn't internally create a playlist that contained every song, creating an artificial limit on how many tracks can be used because that playlist fills the ram.

But what the full-size ipod really benefits from at the moment is aftermarket parts - chassis, shell, screen, touchwheel, batteries, etc. The logic board is really the only supply-constrained part left, and just addressing that one part cuts down the manufacturing dramatically.

Unfortunately the Nano doesn't garner the same aftermarket. Largely because it's dangerous & near-impossible to remove the innards once the battery starts swelling - so the biggest driver to rebuild it comes hand-in-hand with the inability to do so.
I have 3 of them myself. The only thing that made me drop it in favor of the Nano is the lack of fast-forward / rewind via headphone remote AND the fact, that controlling it via remote always lights up the display. This is a no go when having children sleeping next to you while listening to audio books. You never ever want your children wake up because of something like this ;)

I had friends whose company went from "high-performing small" to "large", and the way they described the transition was "we thought adding management was going to be like adding an internal skeleton, a structure that'd help get all the functional parts of the company pulling in the same direction. Instead it turned out to be like an exoskeleton, a carapace that served mostly to constrain and put hard limits on the functional parts of the company."

My understanding is that the Tesla supercharger network was/is the most reliable network, whereas there were frequent reports of the unreliability of all non-Tesla networks.

Dates are a nightmare even before you start accounting for public holidays. There’s a whole bunch of calendar and Timezone changes, and valid dates and times that simply don’t exist.

No. This is about feeling overwhelmed (X) and suggest to say No (Y), more often.

It could also suggest stoicism or quitting or any other thing. Communicating that it is too much may seem like a very obvious thing, but (at least my own) experience shows that few people dare to actually do it.

I know so many collegues who complain about the work load but they instantly buckle when the boss comes in and asks for something.

How would the boss figure that you are at capacity if you never say No, or at least diplomatically list all the tasks you would have to drop to be able to do that and whether he really wants you to drop them.

Clapping the rhythm of the "challenge" part can be very effective in getting the attention of a group of distracted people that you want to address.
