It is known where this is causing a problem and the code was removed a few months ago in the code for Java 23.
I think you're being overly harsh.

14 year old need good role models (preferably from their trusted social circles). These people should, ideally before the child turns 14, give him or her a strong moral framework to judge advice that they might come across.

On the topic of being rich (which can be a good goal if pursued along with a strong moral compass), it's much better to take advice from a Paul Graham rather from some grifter selling courses on "how to be a rich as me" on the net.

There are lots of applications that can be used to write math that is converted into LaTeX equations. You can also use MathML -> Latex

If human populations expanded at a slow rate of 20 miles per 100 years, then from 1.1 million to 0.9 million years ago (200,000 years) they would have travelled 40,000 miles.

This is indeed migration, but not as we think of it today. Such migrations could have been blocked by oceans or high mountains, and were essentially like animal migrations.
AWS has been steadily integrating Iceberg support into Athena (based on Trino) and Redshift Spectrum. The practical advantages of schema evolution, time travel, and update and delete queries, form a convincing alternative to use of AWS Glue crawlers in my experience. There are open source Kafka Connect connectors available as well:

While certain estimations can be made, it is impossible to truly know if work is worth doing until after the work is already done. As such, workers have to make a choice:

1. Do the work and find out. If the work was worthwhile, they'll reap the benefits in spades. If not, they are left with the detriments.

2. Sell the work at a discount to someone else who is willing to find out.

Most workers opt for #2 because they don't care to find out. They want the guarantee and are happy to let someone else suffer the consequences when things go wrong, even if that means letting someone else indulge in the rewards when it does work out.
No. That is property and can be owned. IP is not tangible, can be exactly copied once observed, without effecting the original.
Also, you can use this to supplement income. You can herd goat and solve capcha at the same time.
The public-sector situation is even more stark in the UK, with the existence of the licence fee. Broadcast TV has always been an "optional extra".

If anything I'm half-expecting the UK to start taxing individual creators who livestream on Twitch or YouTube (or perhaps to tax the platforms, or require the viewers to have a TV licence). That would indeed be egregious.
I suppose many use libraries built on top the native APIs, e.g. socket.io, so for them the change is nothing more than a bump in the lib version.

Am i missing something, or is this useless when you want to refer to an equation from "the past"? I find myself doing that often. For example a methods section might pose an optimization problem, then the experiments section a page or two later says "we solve the optimization `\eqref{main-problem}` using Solver X".

> You might have thought I was joking when I said I was going to tell you how to start Google. You might be thinking "How could we start Google?" But that's effectively what the people who did start Google were thinking before they started it.

We shouldn't be telling young people to start companies like Google or to aim for being really rich in the first place. We should be teaching children how to be more sustainable. Companies like Google are a net harm to society and the really rich like Sergey Brin and Larry Page are parasites, promoting the unsustainable ruthless capitalism that has caused the immense climactic problems of the world today.
Rclone is great, but I'd be wary about using a non-backup tool to do backups. You want something that makes it really clear when you are going to overwrite. if a file has changed, rclone is going to push the new version. A backup tool would retain a copy of the old version. If the file was corrupted, rclone just corrupted the backup too.

>naive q: could one process perform the compilation, store the output in postgresql shmem, then each pg worker copy that code locally ?

It would probably be easiest to just compile the code to a shared library on disk then it would get memory mapped in all processes using it like any normal shared library, each process must be remapped through whatever binding process to the actual memory addresses.

>can plans be shared ? I might be mistaken but I thought each worker backend can (e.g.) be assigned to a different partition in a partitioned table, with very different table indexes, statistics, etc.

I don't know the details but the PG docs say this about parallel plans, which seems to say each process has its own individual part of the plan:

>Because each worker executes the parallel portion of the plan to completion, it is not possible to simply take an ordinary query plan and run it using multiple workers. Each worker would produce a full copy of the output result set, so the query would not run any faster than normal but would produce incorrect results. Instead, the parallel portion of the plan must be what is known internally to the query optimizer as a partial plan; that is, it must be constructed so that each process that executes the plan will generate only a subset of the output rows in such a way that each required output row is guaranteed to be generated by exactly one of the cooperating processes.

Climate change is fueling the US insurance problem
What they did, lowering rates to fight a deflationary environment with low growth, is the exact same strategy that the US has used for many years (and Europe as well). The difference is that the situation was much more severe, which made them actually resort to negative rates.

Now that worldwide inflationary pressure is much higher, you're seeing rates rise everywhere. Of course, rates are different from country to country, but directionally, there's nothing novel about what's happening here.

You're saying you can't generalize, but on the contrary, there's a very obvious generalization here.

For local storage, an alternative to the Synology that others have mentioned is UnRAID.

* Consolidate your drives to empty the largest ones you can. Or, buy three 20TB drives (two for data, one for parity).

* Buy/build a small server, install UnRAID on it, and create an array. If using new drives, you will have 40TB available.

* Copy each old drive's data to the array. Retain the old drives as backup.

* Once done, a) set up remote backup, and b) build a second, identical UnRAID server as another backup. Or the tape backup also suggested.

Calculus is all you need! Neural nets are trained to minimize their errors (what they actually output vs what we want them to output). When we build a neural net we know the function corresponding to the output error, so training them (finding the minimum of the error function) is done just by following the gradient (derivative) of the error function.
Then it's odd that the people with the cool videos didn't manage to get the "easier" regulatory approval. I already said that in different words in a comment above, maybe you missed it?

A video on Youtube is not a "better indicator" for anything serious or requiring certification. It is an entertainment platform at best, spammed full of disinformation and bias. Preferring it over anything else that has legal weight is some kind of credulous joke. But this just restates my above comment on which is easier to game, edit or cherry-pick.
He said "more exciting" at the beginning of your quote. And if the 14-year-olds somehow don't already want to be rich, how is Paul Graham telling them how to do it going to teach them that it is the most important thing?
Ok, so I am having a hard time buying the idea that just make a fun project if you want to create a something like 'Google'. Startup 101 teaches us that you need to solve a painful problem that lot of people have, that is the best way to create 'Google', so isn't the advise contradictory?

Exactly.

>In fact, this is the standard way to get really rich.

No. The standard way of getting "rich" is to get into a good career that pays a lot. Before Silicon Valley, people got "rich" by working at Wall Street, law or Congress. Getting rich through business is a lottery.

I would have attributed this article from Graham to relative inexperience had he written this early on, say in the 2000s. But him writing this now is just bad-faith preaching intended to give VCs another lottery ticket with a very low success probability of forming a unicorn.

And for the record, 14 and 15 year olds, the best way to get rich is still Wall Street, Congress or law.

That's a LOT of crying for an exec in an industry that's seen massive growth over the last decade+. I don't buy for a second that piracy has blown up since 2017. This sounds like a skill issue and way to cover his ass.

Hi everyone, I'm one of the Causal founders — we actually launched a super barebones MVP here on HN in 2019[1], back when we were still tinkering around on nights and weekends, and the reception + signups from that gave us the confidence to quit our jobs and go full-time on this, so thanks for the early support!

The product has come a long way since that first HN launch. The best way to think about it is as a 'multidimensional spreadsheet' — instead of writing formulas that operate on single cells, Causal formulas operate on "variables" that span lots of cells (e.g. multiple 'months', or multiple 'products', or multiple 'countries'), so you can express any kind of model with 100–1000x fewer formulas. Lot of other important functionality like live data integrations, dashboards, etc. but the multi-dimensional modelling system is really the secret sauce :)

Sounds super abstract, but the main use-case today is financial planning/reporting for early-stage companies, although some of our users have actually replaced their BI tools with Causal as well.

Anyway, thanks for the support and keen to hear feedback :)

I think this is a pretty harsh framing. They directly ask for input from someone with expertise (indirectly making it known that their existing belief is not backed by relevant expertise). Then they state what their existing belief is. It reads to me like an invitation for someone to correct their existing belief.

Yeah, you're wrong and not nearly imaginative enough. Imagine a fascist group secured monopoly rights on TV streaming. It would be morally justified to steal it. Disney is just a lessor version of that.
There's very little actual evidence for modern day patents being a value-add to society. see https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004873339....

Particular industries, eg drug patenting, could be far better addressed with targeted legislation but at this point it's mostly just momentum and vested interests. It provides huge benefits for a small group and diffused costs. It's hard to imagine it being possible to get enough momentum to change things.
I get that companies have the right to dictate location policies, but I wish they'd grow a spine and actually say it up front rather than play games like these to force employees to resign. But I guess then they'd have to follow the rules and offer stuff like unemployment benefits and severance where required.
Any recs for brands or specific products on 2-bay drive enclosures?
Patents, especially computing patents, need to be less general as well.

If you can accidentally stumble into multiple patent violations without even trying, they aren't really novel ideas by definition.

For example "slide to unlock" is a digital patent, but I would argue that any number of physical implementations predate it, and the motion itself isn't novel or unique enough to merit a patent.
Can’t they be sued for breach of contract if they aren’t following their own tos? Having a rule like this gives them leeway to remove what they consider harmful.

Seven years is nothing.

SIP is Apple's documented way of reserving certain paths to be under OS control. You can disable it to modify reserved paths, but they make no guarantees about such modifications continuing to work across OS updates. If you want files the OS won't touch, keep them out of OS-reserved paths. If you want full control of all files on your machine, a managed OS like MacOS is not for you.
While I agree with a lot of the criticisms that have been posted here (first and foremost that it is exceedingly bad advice to take advice on being successful from someone who is like six sigmas to the right of the curve on how their efforts were rewarded - it's like reading from Taylor Swift or Simone Biles or Usain Bolt about "to succeed you just need hard work and to believe!". As it's taken many, many years of therapy for me to internalize, if you get the majority of your self-worth through what you do, you're gonna have a bad time...) I think it's also a good idea to keep in mind the general HN guideline of "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says."

In that sense, I do strongly agree with the overall conclusion, "That's it, just two things, build stuff and do well in school." Building stuff for your own edification, and soaking up as much knowledge and relationships while you're in school, is really sound advice that works regardless of your end goal.

LaTeX grammar is actually very good to type and quite powerful and compact. It's not a programming grammar, it's a markup language.

Strangely enough, at about the time this macOS update came out, the virtual USB hub in my Win7 VM (Fusion 11.5.7), which I run on a Catalina (10.15.7) Mac broke. This is after years of no issues. I didn't update anything except maybe Chrome & Tailscale on the Mac, maybe Firefox & Cisco Anyconnect on the VM. No changes to the VM settings or the devices I normaly plug into the Mac's USB. Now I did update a MBP on the same network to macOS 14.4 when it came out, but how could that affect anything?

Although I agree with your position re IP not legitimately being property, I want to nitpick a bit here, and point out that empirical evidence can only substantiate empirical claims. Construing outcomes as "harm" or "good" is a normative evaluation, so this argument is an attempt to leap across the is-ought gap.

Small correction: FFI in Android land is abysmal, to get decent performance when accessing all kinds of system APIs you almost always end up having to write helpers in Java, to try to alleviate the pain of JNI as much as possible (it is still significant).
