Speaking of incompatible business models, I'm still not clear how AI/LLM driven search is supposed to be sustainable when it means that most content is consumed through a middleman without the original publisher seeing a cent of revenue from it. If the AI companies manage to get the precedent that training is transformative enough to be considered fair use to stick then not even paywalled outlets are safe, someone can buy a single subscription, throw all their content into the LLM blender, and sell it on as their own product. Hell if they're feeling bold then they can just pirate the training material, as we saw with that enormous archive of pirated ebooks which is being passed around as an "AI research dataset".

Surely "Operation 401" would be more appropriate. "Operation 451" would be best but that might be giving away the plot a bit too much.
I would only add that an organic (accidentally created) hash collision in Git will take an extreme amount of time. However, even today you can download the two PDFs from https://shattered.io/, put them both in your Git repository and watch Git crash. Given the construction of SHA-1 (Merkle-Damgard), it is easy to create an unlimited amount of derivative files that also cause a collision, they just have to have the correct prefixes (and then arbitrary but identical suffixes). Or upload only one of such files, but later pretend that it was the other. Authors were even kind enough to create a file tester on that very website :), but note that a determined adversary can recreate the attack and create a different set of prefixes.

SHA-1 really is broken, and therefore standard Git repositories do not offer integrity protection against someone who is determined to do harm and has some resources.
Well yeah they're a scam.

I believe there is a study where people ate at a 25% deficit but had high glucose and still gained weight.
If that were the case, then the demographics data would not show a major shift. It would just bias of a relatively small group.

However, demographic data clearly shows a trend over the past several decades. Look up "Mean Age of New Mother" statistics. E.g. here's data from the US: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db232.pdf It's more dramatic if you extend the data back to the 70's. You can see the same trend in most countries.

On average, people are having their first children at a significantly older age than a couple of generations ago.

That doesn't mean that folks _aren't_ having children early at all. E.g. I have _tons_ of friends that had kids as teenagers (and a lot at 14, too) and were already grandparents years ago in their 30's. But that's not representative of the overall population.

This means that children knowing their great grandparents really is becoming more rare today than it was 30 or 40 years ago.
At this rate even grandparents...

Most of my (37) friends in Italy does not have children. Some of us are late children so the parents are between 70 and 80.

// This is called MVHR (mechanical ventillation with heat recovery) in the UK.

These are actually two subtly different things. ERV (what I am talking about) recovers some of the moisture content along with heat, while an HRV (heat recovery ventilator and probably what you're talking about) does the heat but not the moisture. Depending on where you live this matters or doesn't matter (eg, if your winters are really dry and/or your summers are really humid, you want the ENERGY recovery ventilator to keep the house humidity closer to what you want vs equalizing with the outside.

// We're looking at putting it in, but have a fairly poorly insulated house, so it's not clear if the heat recovery is worthwhile

This doesn't make sense to me at all. First, if your house is "leaky" then why do you need mechanical ventilation at all, versus just relying on the natural air exchange (I can think of a valid reason but just curious how you think about it.) Second, if you DO put it in, your house is obviously better conditioned inside compared to outside so why wouldn't you want to recover that heat, at least for comfort if not economy?

// There is also PIV (positive input ventillation), which blows fresh air into a property (normally the hallways)

Yut but I think your hallway is then going to be as cold as the outside in the winter?

I mean, I would prefer to be working in Erlang, but I took a Rusty job recently. OTOH, if I was working in Erlang for you, and you made me switch to something else, I would most likely not be happy and if my job is changing, I may as well change jobs, or at least consider it. Leaving behind simple concurrency and hot loading means it takes a lot longer for me to get things done, and it's one thing to work at a job where things take forever, but it's even worse to go from being able to get things done quickly to slowly.

> Killer one that has shafted us is tying everything into popular deployment and CI tooling. Your product should be buildable, deployable and tested on a standalone workstation at any time

I've currently a VP Eng at a "growth stage" startup, and the state of things when I joined was that about 75% of a dev's time was spent fighting with the external services and data. Someone would spend an entire sprint on a feature, but most of the time was actually fighting with our IdP.

A huge effort and focus (that I had to beat into everyone's head) was that being able to a) run everything locally and/or b) have reasonable fakes for external dependencies means that we can spend far more time building actual product stuff and far less time debugging infra issues.
I think I would pay for this in a heartbeat if it was more "available", as in not just a web app. I'd love a native app where I could use this in any textbox (web, app, etc) on my Mac. Ideally I'd be able to remap the key I use for mac dictation. I think I'd be fine with a popup where I write all the text and then it just inserts it after it finishes (so you can just render your UI and paste in the result instead of needing to interact with existing text fields.
Your arguments, as legitimate as they may be, lose all credibility when you refer to the killing of livestock for food as "murder."

Wow! I independently came up with this algorithm a few years ago and wasn't even sure what to search for to find the prior art. Happy to see someone finally gave it a name and attempted to find the history.

Fun fact #1 that I also realized, which I have yet to see mentioned elsewhere (though people have almost surely realized this in various contexts):

This is not limited to binary search or mergesort.

This is a very general-purpose meta-algorithm for turning any batch algorithm into a streaming one. (!)

The merge() step is basically "redo computation on a batch 2x the size". You pay a log(n) cost for this ability. You can combine the batches in any way you want there. Here it happens to be a merge of two sorted arrays. But you can imagine this being anything, like "train your ML model again on the larger batch".

Fun fact #2: I believe you can add deletion support as well. This can be done with a hierarchical bitmap to help you quickly search for occupied slots. It comes at the cost of another log(n) factor in some operations. I have yet to search if there is a name for the hierarchical bitmap structure I have in mind, so I'm just calling it that for now.

i think an interesting orthogonal trend is how changes in family size affect grandparent relationships.

my grandparents were in the generation that had lots of kids, which leads to lots of grandkids. that meant that family gatherings were huge crowds where they served as a figureheads and i didn't really develop a one-on-one relationship with them.

but when i look just one generation removed, i see smaller family sizes so grandparents have far fewer grandkids. and they're developing actual relationships with their grandchildren in a completely different way.

FYI if anyone temporarily experienced a missing puzzle yesterday, I'm sorry this is the first experience that you were welcomed in. The HN hug is real.

Had to run around switching servers asap but thankfully the rest of the puzzles and Zen Mode stayed intact and playable.

Everything is back up and running right now on https://echochess.com/

If you're still experiencing a missing puzzle situation, please try clearing your browser cache and reloading if possible (if you had installed the app locally on your device, re-installing should do the same).

If any issue remains, please let me know and I'll be fixing it ASAP. Will also push a new release very soon with many of the early fixes identified by the community.

Thank you all for bringing so much love and passion to echo chess. How'd you do on the Classic today? :)

Longevity plays a big role. My grandmother is 96 and grandfather 94, so even with a first child at 29 they’ve still had over a decade with their great grands. I had 6 great grandparents still alive when I was growing up. My parents were young, so will probably be in their 70s for great grand kids and if they make it near 100, could see great-greats (wild!).
Pointing out differences in age of first child for different groups (race, class, etc.) is not necessarily classist. It's the part that so often comes next, "therefore, we should..." that causes offense.

Anyway, what's wrong with having 6 kids? People used to do it all the time and society was fine. Why shouldn't we set up our society in a way that allows this as a reasonable possibility?
Exactly. While life expectancy from adulthood (say 20 yo) has increased (i.e. UK males have gone from expected average 60y to 80y between 1841 to 2011 [1]), it hasn't increased nearly as much as the life expectancy from birth (i.e. 33% vs 98% increase over that period).

Yes the first one. The energy contained in ingested food is far and away the dominant metabolic input.

There is no need to get into the weeds of various details of how that breaks down; the main problem is that calories are way too cheap in the modern day and age, and people's habits and instincts developed in far different eras lead to easily ingesting more than is expended. Yes the OP is not wrong, but it's not a very useful argument unless we're going to roll back the modern civilization.

I disagree. I kinda hate eGUI as it's so obvious everytime an app is using it (ROG control center on Linux, for instance). I would much prefer a multiplatform native toolkit as a first class citizen in Rust, versus all the ugly homegrown widget sets they use (something imgui, nuklear and others already do better).

That being said, that's an aesthetic choice; and apps provided in it are better than nothing.
For this use case it is probably fine to have 2.7.x installed to use for this. Just annoyed. The downside to having it that way is this weird stray python installed. Would rather use something to switch it around to make it easier to keep track. But in the end it didnt mater as someone else had already updated it and I did not have to bother. Maybe next time :)

Excellent info! I started head-deving a project similar to nix-snapshotter[0] and I was thinking "ok, I can probably just build CRI impl that builds a rootfs dir with nix and just shell out to bubblewrap to make a "container".

But once I went through that mental exercise I started reading code in containerd and cri-o. Wow, these are _not_ simple projects; containerd itself having a full GRPC-based service registry for driving dynamic logic via config.

One thing I was pretty disappointed about is how deeply ingrained OSI images are in the whole ecosystem. While you can replace almost all functional parts of runtime, but not really the concept of images. I think images are a poor solution to the problem they solve, and a big downside of this is a bunch of complexity in the runtimes trying to work around how images work (like remote snapshotters).

1. The Holodomor wasn't a natural famine. People starved because the food was physically taken away from them and distributed elsewhere (like cities), starting with the grain. Once they ran out of grain and couldn't fill the (unreasonable from the start) quotas, they started taking away livestock also.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

In my opinion, Boeing is a company that is expected to do something about 10x more difficult than other companies: they build and sell massively complex machines that have to work safely and reliably 100% of the time (discounting planned redundancy), and even a small mistake in design or execution compromises the safety of hundreds or thousands of people, even if it takes years for the flaw to become apparent. If you couple this with all the growth in air traffic in the past few decades, I think failures like we've seen are nearly inevitable.

Honestly, even with the tragic MAX crashes, I think it's nearly a miracle that air disasters happen as infrequently as they do (Boeing, Airbus, or what have you). People point to mismanagement at Boeing, including lately labor outsourcing / labor arbitrage (building plants in SC instead of WA to avoid unions, Spirit Aerosystems, etc) but I see that as part of how Boeing tried to meet the growing demands of air travel. That's not to let everybody off the hook, because clearly some changes need to take hold so that this doesn't happen again. That's the gold standard of the aviation industry, after all - that we can prevent a particular disaster from ever happening again, and we're willing to spend the time and money to see it so.

I think all the true crime enthusiasts following the John Barnett case is just going to distract from solving the hard problems - getting the design and execution right on every single plane, 100% of the time. Professional class people have gotten used to cheap/affordable jet travel anywhere, anytime, that is safe all the time - but I don't think many have internalized how difficult this is to do and maintain.
