I can tell you my projects amount to millions of downloads, but this doesn't translate into money.

The second you ask for money people move to something else.
choir.io , I had hooked it up to our raw event stream so I could “feel by audio” how our systems were running.
I think mathematics is in a good place with regards to tolerance of self-promotion. I do not think that we should put up with excessive hype in the name of "humanizing" papers. I do think that a lot of mathematicians do not provide enough detail or motivation for their arguments. Not necessarily motivation in the sense of "why is this important", but motivation in the sense of "we are beginning a three page proof. Let me give you a paragraph to give you the outline so that you can fill in the details yourself, rather than having to read all of the details just to reconstruct the outline."

I do have a pet peeve about mathematical exposition. At some point, phrases like "obviously" and "it is easy to see" became verboten, or at the very least frowned upon. The problem is that it didn't become verboten to skip details (this would be impossible in general), and those phrases actually do contain information. Namely they contain the information that there actually is some detail remaining to fill in here. Often in papers there will be some missing detail which is not so hard to verify, but whose presence is so ghostly in the exposition that I think I've missed somewhere where it was stated explicitly, and have to go back. I feel like this is the case of someone excising an instance of "it is easy to see that" and replacing it with... nothing.
It is their fault. Their engagement algorithm favors the most bellicose, ignorant, vapid, incendiary content. Dramas and fights bubble to the top because it gets the most eyeballs. The only thing stopping the dam from completely bursting in the past was a modicum of content moderation. It doesn't have to be that way. Case in point is hacker news.
So...

A pre-Civil-War law for maritime accidents is still current, and that's now a gigantic and obvious problem.

The U.S. Capital, where Congress originally made that law, and still makes the laws, is 40 miles away by road.

Any bets on Congress both being competent enough to fix their law, and giving a sh*t enough to actually do that?

I kinda wish computer systems were more involved in planes.

Computer systems have controlled the movement of elevators for 50+ years. They stop the elevator moving when the door isn't shut very effectively. They have certainly saved more lives compared to even a well trained elevator operator.

With today's tech, it would be possible to make a computer that prevents stall of any aerofoil. Anytime an aerofoil is nearing stall conditions, do whatever is necessary to prevent it stalling by actuating control sticks in the direction to prevent the stall.
Thanks for the recommendation, Quarto might be just what I've been looking for.
I think of noon as the time of day when the sun is at the highest point it's going to get in the sky. Time zones are effectively a quantization error that means the clocks are usually wrong, but it's an error we all agree to so it works out practically.

But that fact doesn't change that noon is when the sun is at its highest point and our clocks necessarily include an error around when noon happens.

As someone who uses ML on embedded devices, it is great to see good alternatives in compiled languages. Nim seems like a very useful and pragmatic language in this regard. Certainly a huge step up from the C and C++ which is still very entrenched.
I think that solid libraries for deep learning is something we will see in practically all programming languages. In 10 years a library covering core usecase (of today) will be as standard as a JSON parser and a web sever, for almost any ecosystem.
Agreed. Ditto unemployment, literacy, food security, life expectancy, wellness, birthrate, and so forth.

Managing to target inequity value, by whatever measure, would moot the endless food fights over the tax code.

We should be arguing about the kind of society we want. Not fighting over implementation details, divorced from outcomes.

Sorry if I was unclear, it's a hard thing to summarize, but the useful part of it is in being a platform for app development, not just the fact that it hosts stuff. "End user server-side apps" isn't really a thing that exists, because current server-side applications e.g. wordpress have to run on a variety of stacks, have to reinvent user authentication, etc. Another way to put it would be that urbit is a platform on which to run build server-side apps in the same sense that Android is a platform for client-side apps.

It does work tolerably well, people are building stuff on it, but I think it's too widely-hated to build a network effect. (Source: search for urbit on HN and click on literally any thread)
Very well-written article. Thank you for posting.
These are so-called states worse than death.
It enables to use your favorite audiobook reader’s voice for all your TTS needs. E.g. you can have HN comments read to you by Patrick Steward, or by the Honest Trailers voice. Maybe you find that questionable? ;)
yeah ... in the early days of mongo it was pitched as a replacement for relational because a) it had faster writes without those pesky joins and constraints, and b) because it's too hard to model data, so chances are it's just unstructured. the onslaught of "relational is dead" and "joins are annoying" was tremendous
Ex post facto laws are forbidden by the Constitution and not even in the Bill of Rights, so it's pretty damn hard to ignore.
I feel like this entire comment section grossly misunderstands what the author means with "story-mode". It's not about actually making anything read like fiction, just the order things are introduced to the reader.
I didn't even know about that; I checked his Twitter, and first thing is a reply to the Baltimore bridge collapse:

> Doors and wheels fall off airplanes. Hundreds of illegal immigrants assault and overrun border guards in Texas. We can’t even muster support for our allies in the security council. But at least our pronouns are in order.

https://twitter.com/unclebobmartin/status/177262869295654553...

You really need to be a special sort of individual to go from a collapsed bridge to ranting about pronouns with no prompting or any prior mention of that. What a complete spanner.
This whole thing reminds me of Omar on The Wire. Whether they killed him with the gun or the briefcase makes no difference. Fuck Boeing - I hope they face justice for all of this.

Nice, I didn't know about it – I took a quick look at the templating options and it seems like it might do the job. Thanks!
Congrats. Do you have any regrets about outsourcing lifting to the QEMU TCG or has it worked well?
Does it produce more low end torque verses a traditional gasoline combustion engine? If not then why is it better suited for electrical generation? Is it more efficient with less load?

The article mostly makes it sound like Mazda just loves the wankle and wants to find any possibly way to bring it back - even though it has “high” emissions… so coupling it with a hybrid electric motor makes it happen..

That can’t be the whole story?

So I did some hunting in the spec (which I should've done when I first heard this concern), so that I can be specific. I turned up this from https://w3c.github.io/webauthn/#attestation-object

> An important component of the attestation object is the attestation statement. This is a specific type of signed data object, containing statements about a public key credential itself and the authenticator that created it. It contains an attestation signature created using the key of the attesting authority (except for the case of self attestation, when it is created using the credential private key).

The concern was about how creatively parties with a market interest in providing authentication services (1Password, Okta, Apple, Google) can use this field in service of goals that the user doesn't share, such as preventing competition.

It's already the case that if you don't have a phone number you're in some ways a non-person because you can't 2fa with many services that require it. The same dynamic could be used to guarantee that everybody have a relationship with one of a small handful of providers such that they don't have to care about whether we consent to whatever new requirements they dream up. Maybe. I'll have to think about it a bit more.

For instance, could this object one day contain an attestation that the user has a credit score above a certain threshold? That's the sort of thing that's new compared to passwords.
I am not even able to do that, and that is the problem, I am not even a run-of-the-mill human and since atleast a decade, (atleast i thought or fantasized that) i have always wanted to be this driven person who achieves great things, and earns enough money that money is no object but other bigger, deeper things are what drive me but here i haven't done shit, partly because whenever a complex subject is put in front of me, i have used some or other avoidance technique to push to learn it later and never did.

Now i am trying to learn C++ from scratch but it's going agonizingly slowly, because some thing in me prevents me from being able to actually write the code on the screen and i don't know why.

Unfortunately, in this case the item was delivered by Royal Mail themselves and left in our mail box, so there was no opportunity to do anything like that.

I don't know about Greece, but many countries do not extradite their own citizens to other countries, and include the provision that they can refuse extradition of their citizens in their treaties. France is one such country, hence Roman Polanski. Greece-Canada treaty has this provision too, so I suspect Greece is similar.

> The Requested State shall not be required to extradite its own nationals. Nationality shall be determined as at the time of the offence for which extradition is requested.

You'd think these folks would learn from Elizabeth Holmes that eventually, if you just make things up, you do eventually get found out.

I guess not.
Musk has the ability, but not the interest, in stopping at any time.

There's a poorly-defined spot that we keep looking at but not quite finding. Wealth gives you the ability to do what you want, though a lot of people don't seem to know quite what that is. Often, you might have some idea of it when you're young, but by the time you have achieved that middle-class-wealth, you're too old to do it (or think of yourself as too old).

Zuckerberg and Bezos don't really seem to know what they want, other than to acquire more wealth. Musk, at least, seems to have ideas. And some of them seem like genuinely worthy ideas.

Unfortunately, some of them really aren't. When it comes to Twitter, it sounds like he genuinely wants to shape the world conversation in his own image.
Your view smacks of contempt for workers, particularly in the arts. Specially the emphasis on "do", as if voice actors don't actually work, and just live of royalties or something. The kind of worldview that the rich and the delusioned working poor tend to share.

I am a strong believer that humans only experience a limited amount of the full experience that is available with consciousness. We have no idea what perceived sensations a start might have. Maybe stars operate on a quantum level that we don't understand yet.
mongo was absolutely one of the most egregious (daresay dishonest?) purveyors of such myth. it was quite off-putting for me and my team.
Local interests? HN is a local interests site? That's an interesting take if you look at the stories being submitted, those making it to the homepage, or the diversity of commenters

Anyway even if you're from the USA, "everywhere" is still not a useful title: for all anyone knows, it means countries around the world. I'd equally expect our local news to specify "in Nederland" if that's what they mean. Opening such a site now, indeed the homepage specifies Zeeuwse beaches are the most polluted among Dutch beaches, it doesn't say "of all beaches". Another one says family of Israeli soldiers in the Netherlands are receiving more threats, rather than such family everywhere. I can't find any headline that's written like this

The title is simply somewhere between vague and misleading
Three options.

First, see if you can get your friends to engage with a one-shot that you DM. You can knock it out in an afternoon and they’ll get a feel for it.

Second, find a local hobby store and see if they host a group you could join. Most places that sell D&D books also host games.

Third, check out Pathfinder. It’s a different TTRPG with many similarities to D&D, but with affordances for playing with a wide variety of people instead of a single tight group. Specifically, see if there is a “Pathfinder Society” in your area — that’s the overall structure they use to organize games and track character progression across games.

>yeah are you going to move off the permissions blockchain to just permissioned smart contracts on a public blockchain?

Perhaps for clearing - ownership wise I think it stays permissioned - no investor wants to loose the wallet and not be able to recover their asset.

>One day DTCC and FINRA and the Fed will conform it to their redundant processes so that registered securities can do the same, using the same public utilities as everyone else.

100% - that's the plan but it's a massive regulatory capture to fight. Akin to launching a rocket and you need DoD and hundred other permissions.

One thing to keep in mind - Sec Act of 1933 and 1934 are here to stay - they may get new regs under them but ownership needs to be transferable outside just the normal case of trading i.e. trust, death, divorce, birth blah blah...
C running on the CPU isn't fast enough for ML. You need to run on GPUs or TPUs if you're serious.

Yes, most of the tensor operations in PyTorch do their math in native code. However, Python still does orchestration and other tasks like data loading and because it is so slow it still ends up causing a ton of overhead in many cases despite offloading most of the work. It's very common for the GPU to sit idle between kernels while Python spins. So JavaScript being faster could still be a big advantage.
Network policies are currently not implemented.

Bring your favourite Ingress controller. We support NodePort services, with plans for a LoadBalancer Service controller given the right network topology (a la MetalLB - either BGP to TOR switches to announce /32 / /128s, or maybe ARP/NDP-based annoucements for simpler deployments).

We don't support colocating multiple Kubernetes clusters on a single machine, or even within a single Monogon OS cluster. If you want multiple Kubernetes clusters, run multiple Monogon OS clusters.

What is the point of using a query builder if you’re only going to support a single RDBMS? Why not write straight SQL and avoid the unnecessary abstraction layer? Is the query builder really going to be easier to learn to use (particularly for non-trivial queries) than SQL?
I wish I could get them. I can’t pay attention to them well enough to follow along if I’m doing anything else at all—so I may as well engage with audio-visual content instead. This entire huge medium is basically not usefully accessible to me.

For whatever reason, I don’t have this problem with news or talk radio in the car. Podcasts? I can’t follow the topic well enough, even if I’m just driving on a mostly-empty highway. Dunno why.

[edit] same with audio books, actually. I can’t follow along unless I’m doing nothing else.
It wasn't about that. It was putting in the "teenage"-mode of driving GTO comparison. Like for one I was not aware (as someone who doesn't know much about cars, other than driving) about this. So am I expected to know about this? What else?

But good to know!
Define ‘trivial’.

It is not trivial to set up an HF antenna that can send a signal (halfway) around the world and be used to hear a response, and it is often not repeatable without the right sun / weather conditions. It is the nature of HF, which hasn’t changed since the 1930s (and will not).

Radios have become arguably cheaper, but electrons vibrating at 3-30MHz have not changed their behavior much.
It's more like a stretching rubber band, but in 3 dimensions instead of 1.
I developed my preference for PostgreSQL years ago, before MySQL supported foreign key constraints or defaulted to durable commits. MySQL also had this annoying tendency to silently store invalid timestamps as zero. All of these things have been fixed since (I hope?), but I still can’t shake my impression that PostgreSQL takes correctness more seriously.
So all I hear is selling the idea in terms of how it benefits the people coming here. No, I think our children "deserve" to be passed on a country that is the best it can be in terms of wealth, power, quality of life, cost of living, political stability, low crime, high literacy etc. Turning the country from a 96% literacy rate to 79%, increasing crime, and welfare costs, and increasing tribal politics is a dereliction of duty to them.
Jeeze, I can't imagine why women feel so alienated from the tech industry.

It's almost as if any time some sort of way to make computers more human-like emerges, the first thing a subset of the men in the space do is think "How can I use this to make a woman who has absolutely no function other than my emotional, practical, and physical gratification?"

Ya you're just a few years older than me, I remember thinking the same thing in the '80s, but didn't learn what a transputer was until just a few years ago.

I truly believe that we could have been on an alternate timeline completely different than what we have today. Basically nothing now is how I would do it. Not hardware, not programming languages, not video cards, not networking, none of it. It's all.. runner-up solutions. Nothing really revolutionary, just evolutionary over enough decades that it approximates what might have been.

Had I had any early wins at all in the critical era from 1995 to 2001 before the Dot Bomb and 9/11 sent us down this alternate timeline where one guy has all the money and resources in the world while everyone else makes rent, I would have designed infinitely scalable hardware and written languages to recruit it. Basically we'd all be sharing our neighbors' processing power and bandwidth in a free and secure way, which would feel like BitTorrent compared to dialup. Instead I spent most of those years in college and struggling to survive after everything fell apart, no better off today than I was 25 years ago.

I perceive computers as having run about 1000 times slower than they should have in 2010, and about a million times slower today, coming up on a billion by 2030. GPUs are sort of a stopgap to hide the fact that Moore's law died around 2007 when smartphones arrived.

I've lost hope that any help will come from the top, just like with political parties. If we want real performance and to get to a Star Trek future with stuff like UBI in our lifetimes, we're going to have to self-organize and do it ourselves. Which basically means that someone who won the internet lottery or actually bought Bitcoin when it was $10 (like I didn't) will have to choose to pay it forward instead of doubling down on whatever all this is. I imagine that people like that exist out there, I've just never met one. Then we get an army of prolific young people and experienced veterans getting real work done outside the profit motive for the benefit of all humankind.
No, the whole thing is very woo. It's fun though.
