Guessing here but doesn't most people die to cold due to an accident, emergency of some sort or drunkenness? Ie a problem for you, not for the society at large.

If you live in a place that gets a bit below freezing every winter -20 is not a problem. I recently survived -33C and have rarely experienced less than -20C, life went on as usual, like going to the store and working.

But if the areas in the article suddenly had -20C that would be a better comparison on how bad it would be.

If you're shrinking to a fixed(ish) percent at a fixed(ish) interval, I'd call that exponential. The difference between exponential and geometric is really just continuous vs discreet, isn't it?
Guess that is why I used "Pedantic".

Just arguing around definitions of words at this point. What is a "plot" versus "theme" versus "just an incident" verses "plot point".

If you want to say there are several 'plots', thus the book's 'plot', is not climate change, because climate change is really an overall 'theme', but not a plot.

I took the previous discussion to mean, that there was an event with a wet-bulb incident, and this one 'incident' could be a 'plot point' in one of the plots. And guess overall theme of the book is around climate, which is on display with the wet-bulb 'plot'?

So guess, if you are saying I was incorrect because there are several 'plots', thus I can't say "the plot of the book is climate change". Ok. I'm ok with using the word "theme" instead.

Edit:

Guess I would say the 'plot' of "World War Z" is a 'realistic interpretation of a zombie outbreak'. But, it was all short stories, so not really a 'plot'. But a theme.

Maybe the word plot is problem. Means one thing in vernacular, but does mean something more detailed to an English major.

You probably triggered some memory. Perhaps, a student who insisted they knew more than the teacher and pushed some ignorant argument too far... so when you suggested the idea, and perhaps tried to push a bit more consideration, the teacher found himself re-living that bad experience and treated you like you were the other student, even if you yourself didn't push the matter beyond an acceptable level.

It happens to the best of us.
I think Fabien is looking for an explanation as to why shifting by 0x400 bypasses the signature check. For example, is that shift somehow corrupting the signature check logic, or bypassing it by convincing the checker that no check needs to be performed?

Well, the transformation doesn't change semantics, so technically you aren't "baking in" any form of evaluation strategy. It is a bit obscure but ANF is achievable by a series of simple rewrite rules, Figure 1 in https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/141471.141563 or Figure 7 in https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/173262.155113. But the transformations are certainly biased towards CBV, the syntactic notion of "machine value" that ANF uses doesn't make much sense in call-by-need or call-by-name where any expression can be a thunk.

That does remind of another thing that CBPV glosses over though - it is only a fusion of call-by-name and call-by-value. In particular it doesn't model call-by-need particularly well, there is no notion of sharing thunks that are duplicated during evaluation. Actually call-by-need is sort of arbitrary, generally one is better off using "an implementation-specific evaluation strategy somewhere between CBN and CBV", which again is not modeled well by CBPV, as the choice of CBN or CBV evaluation is encoded in the IR so cannot be easily changed by the compiler.

The problem is that the available market for CRT screens (and it does exist!) is well supplied for now by used and other older models.

Modern screens are better in many ways, but like CRTs, there are tradeoffs and many things are not yet designed around those tradeoffs.
high frequency alternate current is the safest, in the sense that the skin effect enters in effect, and the current doesn't touch your muscles (or at least your hearth). However, the danger of burns persists.
Is it overly reductionist to wonder whether the difference between, “Which of these is best?” versus “Is that your best effort?”, deserves more than a footnote?
Current robots, sure. Uncanny valley. It's really really hard to mimic humans, and getting close can look much worse than being deliberately mediocre. This is why Pixar faces work, while The Polar Express was panned.

Ultimately though, that's just muscle under skin — with sufficient effort it's obviously replicable, and thus a question of when.
I imagine there's still going to be many, many thousands of L2 chargers with J1772 for several years. And there will probably still be CCS chargers out there as well. So, if you're going to want to truly charge anywhere, you'll need some basic adapter probably for many years to come. Tesla people charging at a lot of L2 chargers today use an adapter.

I requested the CCS adapter for my car but honestly, I might only use it once or twice a year if even that. I really doubt there will be much actual pain with this migration.
My guess is that it had to do with avoiding a definition under which things like fire were alive.

I'd rather exclude fire on the basis that it's "reproduction" involves nothing like heritability.

To be clear, I’m not just talking about temu. As you say, it’s a problem with fast fashion and many retailers. It’s a race to the bottom issue.

But it’s not a binary choice between “luxury” logos and sketchy random quality junk on temu and Amazon. Simple mindfulness when purchasing things would benefit everyone - including the person doing the buying.
This isn't correct. TFA said that small threaded programs had been run successfully, but that the test suite broke in asyncio.

Async I/O and threads are two different things, and either can be present in real code without the other.
Ask HN: Which diagram would you use to represent cooking recipes?
Hi, this a rather simple question. Sometimes in written recipes it’s hard to represent the tasks to perform in parallel or in general see them as whole. Has anybody thought of using UML or alternatives to represent the sequence of actions to perform cooking recipes? Is there anything already made out there for this use case?

You're spot on. Looking to this very comment section, you have people calling this line out as being enlightening:

I would hope this is self evident to anyone who has ever tried _anything_.
Taken from the projects official Twitter they offer more than what is available by said toggle on stock:

They provide a nicer MTE implementation as part of hardened_malloc which uses the standard random tags with a dedicated free tag but adds dynamic exclusion of previous tag and current (or previous) adjacent tags. We also fixed Chromium's integration and will improve PartitionAlloc.

They also use it for their browser too using PartitionAlloc. Other Chromium-based browsers including Chrome don't use MTE since they don't really use the system allocators and have PartitionAlloc MTE disabled.

They are also continuing work on integrating more ARMv9 security features. MTE having the highest impact and being the most interesting of these features, but they're expanding usage of PAC and BTI. Android uses Clang's type-based CFI but not everywhere so BTI is still useful.

Well, like being "green" with respect to towels, it also just saves them money. (And, yes, couple that with labor shortages for a job that pays poorly.)

Honestly, it's fine. It's not like I wash my towels or my sheets daily at home. To the degree the pandemic was a forcing function to think about what labor people actually cared about, I'm not sure that's a bad thing.
One more rule written in blood. How much abuse has it taken to reach this point? Incalculable.

This is how you do it. Come in as a "disruptor," ignore all the rules the establishment has already learned the hard way, and make shitloads of money for as long as you can without pesky old oversight or constraints.

Eventually, you wind up with the same rules the establishment had, if not more. Your catalog gets clogged with cottage enterprises that game your algorithms to steal your customer equity. While you're neck-deep in customer complaints and bad press, you're reduced to a clearinghouse for someone else's business -- little more than a classified ad service. You lose, your customers lose, and -- unless, god forbid, they get organized -- your original suppliers lose. Everyone loses except the scalpers and the scammers. Except now you've run out the competition, and consumers have little other choice.

In this example, why use AirBnB when all you get is either a Sonder that is more hassle and no better than a hotel, one of a dozen apartments leased by the same weirdo, a retirement-home-in-waiting in a bland suburb, or a sketchy individual's greasy rathole?

In the end, welcome to niche status. You do actually have a unique product (in this case, places for big groups to stay for several days), but the market for that isn't big enough for perpetual "growth," so you're on track to be acquired by a hedge fund, rolled together with your former competitors, soaked with debt, and then put out to pasture. But your founders are long gone, booking corporate speaking engagements between yacht voyages. Some "vice president" decides your labor pool stays cheapest if you disincentivize things like career development. Eventually everything is parceled out altogether. What's left of the value of your brand gets smeared over commodities. "Welcome to AirBnB, powered by Motel 6 (an SV Capital Partners, LLC experience)."

Emphasizing Indoor Air Quality
In my experience, yes, the thermal and energy profiles are vastly improved. I went from an Intel MBP that was constantly throttled due to temp to a 2020 MBP with a M1 (13" 16G of RAM). I've done a bunch of development on it, mostly running Pycharm and Docker. I got the fan to come on once while editing/transcoding using iMovie or ffmpeg (I forget, it's been a while), running a few containers in Docker, and editing code in Pycharm.

The hardware also "feels" better to me. I had issues with the keyboard and video connection with the Intel MBP that I have not had with the 2020 M1 MBP which gets carried in a backpack pretty frequently.

Good Data Analysis
$250 sounds like a lot of cleaning, multiple hours of cleaning by one person for sure, of course depending on your location. But that really gotta be some mansion or your customers are really the absolute worst if that's always required. Meanwhile my friend who does this stuff changes the sheets and towels and wipes the tables together with some light vacuuming and that's basically it, only a few times per year he does a more thorough cleaning. And he does it by himself since he has reasoned that he wants to check the apartment personally every time it's used anyway and he can carry those operations at the same time since it takes something like half an hour to do so.
> I’m surprised people use temu at all. I was surprised to see it air ads on the Super Bowl.

Not surprised at all. The prices are too good to ignore for the average American. Amazon's quality is also a dumpster fire these days so there is no point paying higher prices.

Shareholder-extraction-driven companies like Amazon just cannot compete with market-capture-driven companies. Amazon NEEDS to keep prices high to return value to shareholders. Temu doesn't need to yet.
It's sad season 1 of Foundation was rough to get started. The latter half and season 2 are amazing.

I think dollars was the right figure to defeat my point. My thought was that they would be impossible for their more datacenter type competition to beat, because their R&D budget came from a much larger gaming segment. But, if they are around the same size, or the data center type users actually pay more, it is a level playing field.

I’m sure they don’t mind having both revenue streams of course! But on the other hand, they have to serve two sets of interests.
Yeah, not trying to detract from your work! At the time when I made mine (like, 6 years ago) there was nothing in the space. Now there's plenty! Nice work!
I suppose so if the paid subscriptions turn out to be popular enough. Otherwise the revenue will have to come from advertisements and other user unfriendly sources.
RiF still works but you need to patch the APK with your own api key. There's guides online.
Interesting, but a simplistic analysis. It could very well be the case that the thing being talked about the most in earnings calls (in this case, production) is being talked about because it's constantly being missed, whereas the stuff that is going well aren't being talked about. Like how the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
On the other hand, this particular argument also gets overused. Not all compute-bounded parallel workloads are easily solved by dropping into multiprocessing. When you need to share non-trivial data structures between the processes you may quickly run into un/marshalling issues and inefficiency.
> back in 2005 when movies were still far from the rock bottom current era of spandex, sequels, and remakes!

Really? If anything, I’d say the frequency of remakes and sequels is going down from how I remember things back then.

The top movies in 2005 were Star Wars 3, a Harry Potter Sequel, a War of the Worlds remake, Charlie and the Chocolate factory remake. We also got spandex remakes of Batman Begins and Fantastic Four. Hardly some golden era of original storytelling

I'm a pianist and have actually resorted to drawing a keyboard on paper in the past when I've been without a piano for extended periods (yes I'm addicted lol).

Although VR keyboards absolutely won't replace real pianos for obvious reasons they actually do have some use. They are certainly better than nothing and better than drawing a piano on physical paper. The accuracy of finger tracking still needs improvement but that will come and as haptics improves I'm sure a virtual piano one day might start to feel more realistic. Technology needs to catch up.

I've been able to memorise simple pieces with PianoVisions air piano during free play. While playing with songs within the app I've been able to remember some harder works.

Still connecting a midi piano is 100 times better no argument about that.but the virtual piano certainly has its place at the moment and will become stronger as tech improves.
