Hmm still clickbaity because you don't know how it happens. Better title:

"This is the story of the most unbelievable demo I've been given in world of open source. You can't make this stuff up.

It was 2005, and I felt like I was in the eye of a hurricane. I was an independent performance consultant and Sun Microsystems had just released DTrace, a tool that could instrument all software. This gave performance analysts like myself X-ray vision. While I was busy writing and publishing advanced performance tools using DTrace (my open source DTraceToolkit and other DTrace tools, aka scripts), I noticed something odd: I was producing more DTrace tools than were coming out of Sun itself. Perhaps there was some internal project that was consuming all their DTrace expertise?

DTraceToolkit v0.96 tools (2006)
As I wasn't a Sun Microsystems employee I wasn't privy to Sun's internal projects. However, I was doing training and consulting for Sun, helping their customers with system administration and performance. Sun sometimes invited me to their own customer meetings and other events I might be interested in, as a local expert. I was living in Sydney, Australia.

This time I was told that there was a Very Important Person visiting from the US whom I'd want to meet. I didn't recognize the name, but was told that he was a DTrace expert and developer at Sun, and was on a world tour demonstrating Sun's new DTrace-based product. Ah-hah – this must be the internal project!

But this would be no ordinary project. I'd seen some amazing technologies from Sun, but I'd never seen a developer on a world tour. This was going to be big, and would likely blow away my earlier DTrace work.

The VIP was returning to Sydney for a few days before going to the next Australian city, so we agreed to meet at the Sun Sydney office.

The entire extra risk probably, actually. Some things like SpaceX does not happen because someone had a hundred thousand to contribute to seed capital. Some ventures are ambitious.
>The usual answer of “because having children is eternal happiness” just doesn’t hold water anymore, because the opportunity loss of having a child has grown dramatically.

This sentence doesn't make sense to me. How can the opportunity loss outweigh eternal happiness?
No bone to pick. Genuinely curious as to why this individual feels sad about it not being open source.
This article seems to avoid talking about the core improvement AI will make to radiology - more accurate analysis. It mentions that patients may not get an MRI in the first place...but at least for those who do, surely there will be an improvement. The referral/bias issue will exist no matter what the technology is used. garbage article.
With a Noctua NH-D15 and about 30 minutes spent tweaking the motherboard fan curves I was able to get my 5950x to not thermal throttle without producing any noticeable fan noise.

This seems extremely over-engineered and sounds like it could have been solved by using Noctua or similar quiet fans.

It is my belief that you are fundamentally misunderstand the issue.
Well thank you for pointing that out. I missed that context.

The truth gets downvoted, since unpopular.

Alcohol removes inhibitors (at least to some people) from "drunk calling the ex" to "telling the boss that their idea is stupid".

Another thing the could do with this information is, if one of their customers has to take a bunch of units off the market to refurbish/abate them, it can instantly increase all of the prices for their other customers because it knows the supply just changed.
As long as the "big man in the room takes a shot, everyone takes a shot" rule isn't maliciously invoked, you have functional ALDH genetics, aren't a woman, etc.
Like most tools, it will be used by both oppressors and the oppressed around the world. The concern I have is that the prohibitive cost of building foundational models means that it will disproportionately benefit those with extreme resources at the expense of those without.

It's unfortunately very hard to avoid them. But indeed, on macOS, I try to find only native or native-like apps for my needs. It's the difference between a healthy diet and junk food for my computer.
If you're expecting app/FE devs to have to learn it you're putting a ton of barriers in their way in terms of deploying. Just chucking a container on a non-k8s managed platform (e.g. Cloud Run) would be much simpler, and no pile of bash scripts.
There’s a big range between sober and drunk. The key to work drinks/happy hour is go for a single drink and leave. You get the best parts of being social and avoid the vast majority of the issues that come from people drinking with colleagues.
Also higher wealth.

It's the poor and the rich that are having children.

The middle class has decided to have a hysterectomy for some odd reason.

At any rate, I just need to outlive the people not having children today, not too hard since they won't have a family safety net or enough to retire on, and I'll stop hearing these arguments since the people who believed them will be dead and the people who didn't listen to them are the only ones who will be around to talk.

Fair enough, the points you mention definitely help.

But to get "the best jobs in the industry" you also need a demand/supply imbalance and I wonder if that exists and where, or whether something different was meant by OP (i.e. not just plain $$)
"So things like better maternity and paternity leave, allowing women to take years off, or part time without consequence to career, etc."

A lot of these have been implemented in some European countries. They don't seem to be that effective on fertility rate given they are still below replacement.
It is (or will be perceived as) a display of power, or a challenge to the powerful. So a challenge to the status quo, thus a challenge to the "collective harmony".
That problem solved, but plenty of other things hiding in that 'simple' setup of just 5 concepts.
// not any evidence that humans and Neanderthals actually coexisted as families. //

There is not much evidence, but it's going too far to say there's no evidence. The evidence is their genetic heritage in us. There are many ways that that genetic heritage could have got there, ranging from rape to adoption to romeo-and-juliet style romances. The genetic admixture is evidence for all these routes.

// IMHO the simplest explanation: Neanderthal men occasionally raped modern human women //

That's one way it could happen, but we don't have anywheres near enough evidence to conclude that was the only way it happened, or even that it was the most common way it happened. All other hypothesis are still on the table.

And, certainly the first generation hybrids were welcomed in human families. Don't forget, in the Pleistocene, there was no such thing as being alive without being a member of a family.

Indeed!

You may enjoy this talk where I do just that... end-to-end on GPUs, and < 100loc Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZMzsTbfImU

Your intuition about mapping to kernels is good. Basically all SQL, Polars, DuckDB, Pandas, etc operators are pretty directly mappable to optimized GPU operators nowadays. This includes GPU-accelerated CSV/parquet parsing. This was theoretically true starting maybe 10 years ago, and implemented in practice about 3-5 years ago. These systems allow escape hatches via numbajit etc to do custom kernels, but it's better to stay in pure sql/pandas/etc subsets, which are already mapped and to more careful kernels.

To get a feel for times, I like to think about 2 classes: constant overheads and throughput

Constant overhead:

- JIT'ing. By using pure SQL/pandas/etc, you can avoid most CUDA JIT costs

- GPU context creation etc: Similar, after starting and initial memory pool is allocated, it gets reused

- Instruction passing: The pandas API is 'eager', so "df1() + df2()" may have a lot of back-and-forth of instructions between CPU<>GPU even if the data doesn't move. Dask & Polars introduce lazy semantics that allow fusion, but GPU implementations haven't leveraged that yet AFAICT.

Bandwith limits:

- SSD is the biggest killer. Even "Expensive" SSDs are still < 10GB/s, so you need to chain a bunch to get 100B/s ingest

- CPU pathways throttle things down again (latency+bandwidth): GDS/GDN lets you skip them

- PCIe cards are surprisingly fast nowadays. With PCIe5+, the bottleneck is getting pushed quickly back to the storage, and probably easier to buy more PCIe+GPU pairs than need individual to go faster for most workloads

- Once things hit the GPU, things are fast :)

4s is a LOT of time wrt what even commodity GPU hardware can do, so benchmarks showing software failing to saturate it is fascinating to diagnose
Non-alcoholic beers have also gotten quite good.
Also known as hallucination
Because of the commerce clause, it's illegal to restrict travel between states. As the new focus on states rights in the supreme court shapes the country, I wonder if it'll require more restrictions on movements. What one state does necessarily affects others, and as states become more extreme in what they allow or don't allow, other states will have to respond in order to protect themselves. States rights will end up balkanizing the US if there are real limits put in place
But we are disrupting markets! Doesn’t that make us trendy and forward thinking??
You're just digging yourself into a dumber and dumber hole. Analogy is not a substitute for argument.

>> In both cases you can't see the important parts: calculations/energy conversion

These layers were not postulated. Another analogy.

>The genetic effects of this are going to be interesting because until the 1970s a woman had a much better chance than a man of having some average number of children survive.

How does that math work out? Every child has a mom and a dad. Are you referring to widowhood and remarriage? Divorce and remarriage? Polygamy? Were those so significant in the 1920 that it caused a "much better chance"?
> It's a nice example of where using the patients' symptoms and objective data may actually outperform current medical standards

I think you’re jumping the gun here, this paper was a hot topic when it was published. Patient symptoms combined with objective data is already the medical standard.

Note that:

1. KLG is not a measure of pain but of OA radiographic severity.

2. KLG 3-4 is not a prerequisite for surgery.

From the article:

> While radiographic severity is not part of the formal guideline in allocations for arthroplasty (which only requires evidence of radiographic damage), empirically, patients with higher KLGs are more likely to receive surgery.

TKA patients skew to higher grade for many reasons, one being that studies have shown KLG 2 patients who undergo TKA are more likely to experience dissatisfaction (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8344222/).

There are a lot of “ifs” in this paper which did not examine whether KLG 1-2 but ALG-P 3-4 patients benefit from TKA over conservative mgmt or other surgical interventions. It’s also unclear whether this better selects patients for TKA than KLG 1-2 + pain scores and other clinical variables.

All this shows is that KLG is a poor correlate for pain, which is known and not what the score is designed/used for.
You can’t be part of a price fixing cartel no.
It's because there are two ways to sync content across devices, paid sync through Obsidian vs. git. Given sync is a p0 feature, it seems logical that both get mentioned when the question arises.

Also, the app's really good, and I pay for Sync -- git works well, but it's a bit clumsier on iOS. Never posted a paid comment in my life.
Sad thing is, Reader / Writer locks are pretty tempting to use as they appear to be lightweight.

I was always told that SWAG stood for "silly wild-ass guess". But that was in an environment in which some wild-ass guesses were not silly, but rather as serious as the corporate culture would permit....

It says 5959x in the article but it should be 5950x.
Nah, the culture where 90% of people are gay work-aholics and 10% of people are employed as full time breeders is optimal. The final stage of capitalism is a human ant colony.

This is obvious.
The loss of truth and what’s real. AI can generate very plausible statements on nearly anything. Doesn’t mean it’s true though.

I’ve seen people using ChatGPT to do market research. They had prompts returning what would have been proprietary competitor information. Instead of thinking “How could this robot possibly have access to that?”, they instead posted on LinkedIn about how much time ChatGPT was saving them.
Everyone.

edit: It is clear that, even at the current stage of decent summarization, this is transformative tech that can 10x current workflows today.

How does compiling from source help you avoid electron?
> A month ago, I didn’t know. Now, after my interviews with people in China and Korea, the answer is very obvious.

I don't know if I think a month is sufficient time to make such concrete and definitive statements. In my experience, there is rarely a tidy explanation for something as complex as cultural norms - this feels more likely to be a "just so story" + hubris than the clear answer. American Finance and Consulting firms are extremely direct and confrontational, and their employees aren't exactly tee totalers.

The article as a whole also felt like a value judgement on the relative merits of high / low context cultures...
With all possible respect, I don't think you have given concrete examples. You have given general examples, and hnlmorg and I have explained why we don't think there are concrete problems to be found there.

The exception is font rendering. I haven't used Supermium specifically and I don't know enough about how it works, but if Supermium is passing remote web fonts directly to the OS for rendering, that needs to stop immediately, and until it does all Supermium users should disable webfonts!

As an aside, if there is in fact something like an exploitable buffer overflow in Windows XP's TCP/IP stack, that is something enthusiasts could probably patch.
If holding back 20% of the units in every building drives up prices by 30% - this is completely possible in something like real estate where supply is so inflexible - then each individual landlord might have a motivation to defect, but the group as a whole has a reason to cooperate. The purpose of the software is to give the coordinators visibility into who's cooperating. Note that the TOS requires a landlord to always use the algorithm's pricing decision, including leaving units empty, and requires reporting back on every lease transaction so the company can measure compliance.

This really is collusion as a service.
The data I see does not support that.

The argument for learning Rust before C++ is that the compiler will teach you the best practices you'd have to discover the hard way when programming in C++.

If you have to work in C++, you can take that intuition with you.

But if game dev is your motivation, it makes sense to just jump to C++.
Ask HN: How do you run your website's newsletter?
I have a personal website that I build with Hugo, and currently the only way to subscribe to new posts is with an RSS feed. I want to add an option to subscribe to a newsletter via email for people who don't use RSS, but I can't find a good way to do so for a low cost since tinyletter.com was killed. What does HN use to host a mailing list? I don't need advanced features like analytics, just a way to subscribe to an RSS feed via email.
I think it was about recognizing that Everest standing in one place makes it a convenient target. While the reality is that simply guillotining that everest and spreading the blood over the entire population achieves nothing (1mm).

One thing that this metaphor does not illustrate is that you cannot spread a billionaire's wealth in cash to the population to pay for rent and food. Nearly the entirety of that wealth is in shares of operating corporations. You would have to find other people / suckers to whom to sell the shares - in exchange for which billions in cash? Or you could liquidate the operating corporations, getting pennies on the dollars (again from whom?) and putting all the workers out of their job.

Either way, Musk et al are convenient targets but - aside from building SpaceX and StarLink and providing entertainment, they are irrelevant to your life.
That's not how money works.

Firstly billionaires don't have "cash" in some bank account. (They are more likely to borrow from banks than to have deposits in banks.) Their assets are likely to be in property or stocks etc.

Secondly there isn't a "limited" amount of money for people to borrow. Its not physical. As a first approximation you can treat the lending ability of banks to be unlimited (at least for Joe's like me.)
Fox News has the same data access as everyone else. You want to qualify that statement perhaps?
I know I have my biases, cultural and otherwise, so I shouldn't say that one way is right and another is wrong, but...

To me, this widely-acknowledged need to go get drunk with bosses, colleagues, and business associates in order to facilitate communication feels like a tacit admission that the reserved, low-confrontation, hierarchical communication styles are a hindrance, and that people would be better off being direct, (politely) confrontational, and egalitarian.

And yes, I know that I say this as someone who is more used to the latter. But I, personally, am somewhat conflict-avoidant, and do couch my criticism in positive, flowery language (if I present that criticism at all) often. And frankly I don't like that, and think I'd be able to express myself better, to the benefit of both myself and whoever I'm talking to, if I could be more blunt and direct about these sorts of things.

Honestly I just can't imagine living in Japanese or Korean society, having to conform to these sorts of conversational rules. I guess the thing that really gets to me is the hierarchical, automatic-respect-for-the-boss stuff. Respect is earned, not given just because someone promoted you. And regardless, I think the default should be one of greater familiarity.

Clearly these other societies are able to function with whatever setup they've mutually agreed upon over centuries or millennia, so it's not like no one is able to communicate effectively. But it just seems so exhausting and stressful to me to have to act that way.
Indeed. My grandchildren will not need to debate these points. And their grandchildren would find the ideas absurd.
Yep. You can make money off of using options as a way of betting on what the volatility measure itself will be. If you think the historical standard deviation is lower than what it will be because of some new change to the company or the world environment, and your view is different from the market's view. It's why sometimes very out of the money call options will paradoxically go up in price after really bad news - you're so far away from the price of the share that the increase in volatility from the price drop increases the option's value even though it's moved even more out of the money

Hi! I have over 10 years of experience in building and scaling web applications. I specialize in backend development, focusing on API development, refactoring legacy code, building microservices and MVPs. My background includes working with teams across the EU and clients in the USA.
This is pretty cool but honestly just setting the pump speed to a constant that's not annoying and setting the fans to a constant that's not annoying is likely to get the same result.
There's nothing worse than having a problem with a product, finding 250 other people on the feedback tracker that have had the same problem over the last three years, and the only official response is some support person on the first page who's saying your feedback is very important to us, and have you tried [troubleshooting that won't work]?
> No, the world is a safer place without his presence.

If anything makes the world less safe it's a power vacuum, rise in extremist groups, destabilizing a geopolitically crucial region for decades, torturing thousands, killing millions, displacing tens of millions, setting our international reputation on fire, and laundering trillions of tax dollars through the military industrial complex.

> Saddam Hussein was a huge regional threat to US allies - Israel and Saudi Arabia,

I hate to break it to you, but if you have a thing against mass murder, Israel and Saudi Arabia might not be the best "allies" to bring up... Not to mention the US itself lacking so much as a stub of a leg to stand on.

Regardless - we could have spent all that money achieving energy independence instead of propping up some of the world's most heinous regimes with mass murder and terror. We could have ended world hunger and domestic homelessness with the change. Basically any use of those resources would have been better, and people were screaming this from the rooftops. The world's largest protests were ignored by neocons/neoliberals and the media class, and now we're all living in the consequences.

So, to hear you say the world is safer since the 2003 invasion, I have to wonder: When are we going to tear apart the propaganda machine that leaves people with such ghastly and malinformed delusions? It's been 20 years - we've seen the effects. There's no debate here - it was a monumental clusterfuck, and unfathomably bad for world safety.

That's why ever since - literally every year since 2003 - the world has seen the US as the number one threat to world peace, democracy, and stability. Americans need to start understanding this. The world isn't jealous of us, it's justifiably terrified. Far, far far more than it ever was of Saddam.
