So I looked into it (too late for me to edit), if you have a government account it might be possible to add CSDOPTION to your account for $9.99/mo. It's highly unlikely though, I found the old and current price schedules and this was removed from it.

Old gov contract expired 2022: https://www.gsaadvantage.gov/ref_text/GS35F0503M/0VX37Z.3RNG... (search for CSD, it's there)

New gov contract in effect (no CSD): https://www.gsaadvantage.gov/ref_text/47QTCA22D008N/0YTCAI.3...

EDIT: I tried to CSD dialup using my K850i which can handle my new and older SIM cards, no good. Simple Choice plans are way too new for this (the old plan I had in the early-mid 2000's was the Get More one)
fwiw a 320w cpu isn't running at 320w all of the time. if you're powering something off of batteries in a consumer situation, a 240w vs 320w cpu isn't going to move the needle unless you're really running it hard (like a game)
So your contention is that ZIRP had zero impact on the run up in prices over the last few years?
Except in reality Jan 1 is always a holiday and Jan 2 is always a volatile trading day, so your tax savings may not be worth the risk of the price swing on the first trading day of the new year.

There's a big big difference to the user here, people who use tmux are power users.

> And that thing, has a config file. I don't want to give sudo to lua, I want to give sudo only to my tool.

Understandable, but tmux itself has run, which forks to /bin/sh, so what's your pick? /bin/sh and everything that entails? or a scripting language with built-in sandboxing?

> tmux is 981K on my system, adding... lua? for the config, could increase it's size by maybe at least 30%? It's not the same to add an scripting lang to a 230GB game, than to every little tool.

Binary size wise, sure, its an increase, but the resulting binary size would still be less than a hello world static binary written in go.

Also, there are more scripting languages than lua, there's jimtcl, guile and a couple of obscure ones.
>there would be an uncomfortably larg number of people justifying their theft as "payment for doing a cashier's job".

I realize you probably don't hold this position, but legality aside, that argument falls flat on its face when you consider the value of your time vs the value of items you're stealing. Self-checking out groceries takes maybe 3 minutes for a full cart? Suppose the store would have otherwise needed to hire a cashier earning $20/hr. Let's double that to account for other expenses like payroll taxes and insurance. $40/hr for 3 minutes works out to $2. That entitles you to a free candy bar, not ringing up a pack of steaks as bananas.

>Basically "if you don't want me to steal, then hire someone to watch me".

At the risk of being called a "corpo bootlicker" or whatever, this is basically along the same lines as "if you don't want me to grope you, don't dress provocatively".
That's super interesting. Are you trying to do single-view image to 3D?
The car wash also doesn’t have to be the only thing on that land. build up - put a high-rise up and have a car wash at the ground level.
Having a financial sector is useful. I'm not convinced that having an especially huge financial sector is good. I think the financial sector often drives a lot of socially undesirable outcomes, and having any company or sector represent a very significant chunk of an economy, whether that's local or national, tends to give it more political influence than it really ought to have.

>There's a reason why foreign companies used to make a HK Shell to enter the Chinese market - it was because business and financial jurispruence was historically stronger in HK over mainland China.

I have the same thoughts, I recently was tasked with looking at a Shopify website that was built with a no code tool. It’s unfixable. How do we fix this as an industry? I don’t think we do.
Datadog bought Timber Technologies (creators of Vector) two years ago. https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/datadog-acquires-timber-techn...

Timber definitely intended to just rock out & demolish everything else out there with their agent/forwarder/aggregator tech. But it wasn't a competitive play against OTel, in my humble opinion. Timber's whole shtick is that it integrates with everything, with really flexible/good glue logic in-between. A competent multi-system (logging, metrics, eventually traces) fluentd++. OTel - I want to believe - would have been part of that original vision.

It's just taking a really really long time. One can speculate how direction & velocity might have changed since the Datadog acquisition. The lack of tracing (anywhere except Datadog, so far) materializing has been a hard hard hard & sad thing to see.

Open source science is real and has a barrier to entry that's just your time. Anyone with a biology degree can set up a garage lab today that would have been state of the art in 2010 for under $20k.
No it isn't. What gave you that daft idea?
While I do agree there is some amount of secret sauce, keep in mind the training takes several months. So from someone to see the success of GPT4, decide they want to invest that amount of money to train the same, raise the money to train the model, find someone competent to supervise the training, train the model for several months, then test and integrate it could easily be a year long even if there was no secret sauce.

Funny thing is you could absolutely say the same thing about every other human on the planet. There is just no way for you to confirm that I’m having a subjective experience. I might be acting like I am. And so might everyone else. The only one you can be absolutely sure of is yourself.

We all just sort of assume that other people have consciousness but it’s impossible to know for sure.
Ask HN: Why is social media so strict about medical advice
As the scope of what is considered part of “medicine” increases, it’s becoming increasingly hard to find or ask about very simple problems on forums like Reddit. For example you aren’t allowed to even mention pain in the context of a fitness question on Reddit, otherwise you get banned. This is honestly fucking stupid because every source of pain is not some serious medical issue that ONLY a doctor can solve. Sometimes you just need a few stretches or pointers to solve it yourself. This kind of thing is not allowed to happen anymore. Not to mention how access to medical care only gets harder and is frequently just bad.

Is there any actual legal reason why Reddit is so strict on this? Are there laws or other systemic factors causing more restrictive platforms or is it cultural?
If money isn't proof of work, then that infers some people don't have to work for it.
Languages are getting there but based on how much heartburn Rust's async causes, I still find it to be a very hard problem to give programmers a real multicore abstraction. And it starts from the ground up with operating systems designed around single core ideas.

When I first read about the multi core vs single core debate in college, I thought it was silly and that multi core would be just fine. But over the years I've developed a more nuanced view. The average user is mostly doing things that involve IO, so that makes multi core useful in that you can use multiple cores to wait for IO, but for actual computation single core performance continues to be the bottleneck.
Is it intent or financial? If I couldn’t afford something, i can see myself, not bothering to try.

99pi is a podcast about things like this: https://99percentinvisible.org/about/the-show/

But it's a great way to view the world. The next time you see an object, ask yourself how it all comes together. The table your laptop is sitting on? Think about the screws, the joinery, the glue. Think about the screw itself, the washer, the nut. The precision tooling for the screw's teeth. Think about the glue and the packaging it came in and how it was applied. Think about the machines that cut the wood, the assembly, the material used to polish it. The complexity in packaging it, storing it, picking it, transporting it, shipping it, all of it. And in each one of those transitions, consider the complexity of the cars, ships, shipping containers, cranes -- how much went into all of it. It's a beautifully complex world.
Sure I can. I start with the number of sheep I expect: 30, and then count backwards. When I count to -3 I know that I have too many sheep. There is no rule that says counting backwards isn't useful. Any positive number can be represented as a negative number in relation with a constant and remain a perfectly isomorphic model of reality.

Infinities are quite different, given that it is by definition impossible to measure whether something in reality is infinite or not unless you have infinite time.
I think themes might be closer to what I'm imagining. For example, material versus skeumorphic. But as the OC was talking about interactions, I'd be interested in seeing a scale of assistance or explicitness. For example, at the "I've never used computers before" end of town, there should be lots of inline annotations about what buttons do, lots of dropdown lists, etc. At the "power user" end of the scale there would be keyboard shortcuts, icons, tooltips etc.
How about "weights available" as similar to the "source available" moniker?

I was responding to somebody who said a person's subjective experience cannot be conveyed to another person. We obviously have an abundance of evidence saying that we can manipulate our consciousness and experience through physical means. I also provided an example of how we could, theoretically, convey an experience.

I have to reread the "big problem of consciousness", but I think there are several concerns that have to be addressed. There's the question of how we identify what is and isn't conscious, whatever that means. But the question of how subjective experience, particularly in the human nervous system, arises from physical processes is really uninteresting to me.
> The binary frame SHALL have a length that is divisible by 4 with no remainder. The string frame SHALL have a length that is divisible by 5 with no remainder. It is up to the application to ensure that frames and strings are padded if necessary.

Not including padding will seriously hinder this. You want that UX for people to be able to use it widely and just work. The post talks about wanting one compatible standard, but leaving out how to deal with padding means you know have incompatible ways of doing so. Plus many junior devs won’t even understand the need of padding, and will be extra confused when it doesn’t “just work.”

I do appreciate the many other bits it tries to solve, however.
Ah! This gets compounded when you have kid(s), especially from about 3-4 years to about 10-11 years. “Papa, I will show you something,” my daughter said a few years back. “See, the light in the fridge turns off when I press this button. Do you know the light is off when you shut the fridge, and this button does that trick? I had to look up YouTube videos to know how that works.”

We take a lot of things for granted, but slowing down the speed of our daily routine/duties and looking a tad closer gives us a different perspective.

An idea that stuck with me was that everything around you that isn't natural was made by somebody. Buildings, roads, sewer grates, televisions, whiteboard markers, candy wrappers, all of them were made - directly or indirectly - by humans. That's a lot of things!
The average European home consumes 400 watts at any given moment. Modern digital smart meters can consume 4 watts on average, which is 1% of a household's power consumption. On the grand scheme of society, these 1% losses in each home add up. If we consider all the grid monitoring equipment that's typically employed by electrical companies outside the home, the problem becomes much greater. In order to maximize energy efficiency and improve our environmental footprint, we must remove these metering and monitoring devices, which don't actually contribute to the delivery and consumption of power.
I think using higher-level input, e.g. the intermediate language like RzIL[1] could produce better results and is more scalable for making such decompliation multiplatform. As RzIL text form resemples SMT, it should make LLM easier to "understand" the meaning. Moreover, information from binary such as symbols, signatures, debug information (DWARF, PDB, etc) could enrich the result further. You can download Rizin[2] and try for yourself by calling `aaa` then `plf` for any chosen functions for architectures supported by RzIL. See the example excerpt for a function with this disassembly:

I have a few serious points to mention. One ice consumes massive amounts of heat during the last degree of melting vs the next degrees up, like 2 to 300 times as much. Two, CO2 levels have increased at a pace never seen in the geologic record. We haven't been over 420 ppm for millions of years and the last time we were our temp was almost 20 degrees warmer. Climate shifts often happen rapidly finishing with an exponential shift, the scary part is just starting.

When the wish for a positive solution doesn't pan out, people turn to the spiteful negative. Turn up the pain on others, that will solve things. Never mind that many real estate tax regimes already include a component based on the land value. Presumably to LVT enthusiasts those just aren't high enough. When the right level of pain has created the perfect incentives, wasteful duplexes will vanish and high density arcologies will spring forth out of the ground!

The real root of the problem was touched upon by the OP - the past two plus decades of ridiculously low interest rates as set by the Fed in support of one talking-head crisis or another. Borrowed money can only be invested in things banksters can understand, which given their limited imaginations is chiefly single family beige spec homes.

> a profitable business is probably one that's serving the community well, whereas a business that takes up space and doesn't generate much profit is no good for anyone.

I think that attributes a lot more to profitability than such a metric deserves. Perhaps in a more narrow and ruthlessly capitalistic sense profitability signifies that a business is doing what it's trying to do well, but it's a big leap to get from there to how well its serving whatever is considered to be a community these days. Among other problems, just because some tiny amount of that money conceivably stays around in the region and people can buy stuff does not mean that the cost of the business being there isn't quite a lot higher, hence the term tragedy of the commons and the hollowing out of let's say America

I believe Microsoft reused the Copilot brand that it acquired from GitHub for its AI assistant which is embedded in Windows, Bing, and apparently now Office. GitHub Copilot also still exists but is a different product.
this is also why servers and chips that run for a long long time (think servers that aren’t decommissioned for years) don’t run such high voltages and clock speeds.

What I would want to know is what happens to these good binned chips when you lower their voltages and frequencies and run them at a more reasonable 3.5GHz or something for a long time. Is the price / power / performance ratio better than a server chip or is it worse ? Would love some data on that. But no one is buying these for it and server chips have different things going on for them like being able to replace the chip for years etc. still would be interesting to find out if these the best ‘quality’ chips out there
