Climbing pedant checking in. I think the type of climbing you're referring to is free-solo, that is climbing alone with no partner or protection from falling. "Free climbing" is climbing using only hands and feet for upward progression but typically involves the use of protection (gear, ropes, and a partner) to save you in the event of a fall. It's called "free" because the climber does not use metal tools, hooks, pitons, or bolts for upward progression like in aid, ice, or alpine climbing.

I'm in the industry... It's a constant psychological game. The type of highly educated people necessary to pull off these ventures are less interested in being part of the MIC than they used to be. Nationalism in that crowd is thankfully much less aggressive than it was during the cold war. As such, founders have resorted to lying about their goals so they can expand their applicant pool for developing the tech, then "pivot" and get acquired by Raytheon et al.

I also think to some extent there are employees who know but semi-appreciate the cover. In a prior life, I worked on some stuff that's, unfortunately, currently being used to murder people in the middle east. That just doesn't make good small talk at parties.

In a kinda similar boat, though less "trying to convince" and more "trying to decide if we want a kid". (Because really, the boat for multiple kids for us has sailed.) My wife's five years younger, but we only met three years ago, so it feels like we've been speed-running our relationship while simultaneously dealing with life and career stuff.

I live across the country from my nephew, but if I end up not having kids, he can look forward to notably more visits and funtime with the uncle.
That is not plainly not a progressive tax. The average rich person and the average poor person each seeing their taxes go up the same dollar amount is the definition of a regressive tax.

That comparison doesn't apply here. The average rich person will pay more taxes due to congestion taxes than the average poor person.

I realize the concerns about poor people if they have a car and continue to drive but poor people with a car in southern Manhattan are the exception. Parking already costs $15+ an hour there so it's really just commercial vehicles, tourists, cabs, and wealthy people. Not to mention the policy already has exceptions (admittedly, maybe annoying to file for) for those making under 50k

There also has to be someone that needs the BC to see the notary. But, for the most part, yes, it's that easy to obtain a BC using vitalchek.

Note: The notary will record the ID #s and other info of the two ID holders. So if something goes wrong, the two ID holders will be on the hook as well.

Once the notarized document is submitted to vitalchek, they'll process the request.

Of course, one would still have to know a few details from the BC (parents, location, etc) to get vitalchek to submit the request to the county/city registrar.

This is amazing work, but to me it highlights some of the biggest problems in the current AI zeitgeist, we are not really trying to work on any neuron or ruleset that isnt much different from the perceptron thats just a sumnation function. Is it really that suprising that we just see this same structure repeated in the models. Just because feedforward topologies with single neuron steps are the easiest to train and run on graphics cards does that really make them the actual best at accomplishing tasks? We have all sorts of unique training methods and encoding schemes that don't ever get used because the big libraries don't support them. Until, we start seeing real varation in the fundamental rulesets of neuralnets we are always just going to be fighting against the fact these are just perceptrons with extra steps.

I think I read that Lewis was almost finished with the book, which was about to come out, and which was highly pro-SBF, when the FTX scandal Broke? So he then had to quickly revise and "save" the book by changing the tone in view of the FTX scandal? If so, it's probably an unusual book in view of the last hour rewrites.
Jeez. In any product, this should be a showstopper.

Claiming to provide authentication and putting it in the client while ignoring issues that point it out is MUCH worse that just stating they don't provide authentication.

The illusion of security is often more dangerous than no security, because even security-conscious users can be fooled.

Prison should be to rehabilitate (i.e. ensure that convict doesn't re-offend after they are released) as opposed to just punish and ruin people lives for their mistakes for the sake of making random commenters on internet feel good. Also, consider that keeping people in prison is very expensive and is not an optimal way for the state to spend you tax money IMO.
A lot of this tooling is available for C++ development at Google.

Includes are added automatically when you use code completion. There is also a simple IDE command to add all the include dependencies to your build file.

I don't know how well rust is integrated with Googles internal tooling.

The golang integration is incredible, though. You don't need to touch includes or build dependencies at all. They are fully automated.

Ask HN: How to learn how to scale software?
I'm a mid-level software engineer, specialized in back-end programming. I'm getting my hands on Elixir currently, and I've read a few interesting blog posts (notably the one from Discord[1]) about its use case.

I've read the book called "Designing Data-Intensive applications" but it didn't scratch the same itch. I'd like to know how all of you who are writing software for millions of people scale your software. I'm guessing a lot of it comes from theory (e.g. blog articles, textbooks, courses) since it's not easily practicable (at least in my own company I don't need to scale for millions of users).

I don't know where to start so I'm hoping some of you can help

It takes too long to iterate on a character design.

For more explanation: I've been playing around with stable diffusion on my laptop recently; I have a gtx 4070 with 8GB dedicated VRAM so it's not nothing.

The main problem I have is that it takes a lot of iteration on a prompt to get what I want, at lower resolution and sampling steps, before I know that I'll get roughly what I want.

I tried making a character in Eggnog, and before I could be sure what I was getting, it told me it'd take 15-20 minutes to be ready. I worry that this will just make me wait a long time for a character that isn't what I want, and starting again too many times will put me off.

The iteration and feedback loop needs to be tighter in my opinion, or people will get unsatisfactory results and be unwilling to go back and fine tune.
This is an important problem. Just curious though - how do you plan on competing against OpenAI etc? Or will you guys just compete on developer experience and integrations, and wrap around popular OSS / OpenAI models?

There is no practical difference between enums in Pascal and Go.

What is different is that Pascal added an additional layer over enumerations – what is basically a poor man's sum types – to hide that there are enums under the hood. In fact, one has to perform an explicit conversion if they want to access the enum. Sum types predate enums, and no doubt they were trying to stay close to sum type semantics without the overhead. Something later languages, like C and Go, chose to forego in favour of exposing the enums naturally.

But if you're going to go to all the trouble of implementing a poor man's sum types, why not just do it properly? It's not 1970 anymore. We've solved the overhead problems. Sum types are perfectly viable these days.

Googling the title leads to https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/1bouuv7/warning..., which I guess is the same content? We can change the URL to that above.

Right, so Uber got grandfathered in (a startup unlocking a new style of market a-la Uber wouldn't get the same treatment for sure!), Netflix got a sweetheart deal because they were already dominant in the space, and the only new app you can cite is TikTok, an ad-supported service that until recently didn't sell anything at all.

I don't see how this helps your case. Basically the only way to win on iOS with a new idea is to pay apple, or be big enough that Apple doesn't want to lose your customers. That's a complete non-starter for (heh) startups.

It seems bizarre to hear about these problems in Poland. Amazon had all this stuff figured out a long time ago. Which is why I order from Amazon all the time - it works reliably, 99.99% of the time.

And they understand how to properly package things, which is what I would expect after they've shipped a billions packages over the past 25+ years. When I order from Target or Vitacost, there's a 25% chance that they throw things in a box, add a single inflated plastic bag, and ship it. Glass jars arrive smashed, shampoo bottles crack open and leak over the other items, etc. It's like day 1 for Amazon's competition in terms of packaging.

Thanks! The near-term roadmap is to build out better control over what's happening in the scene. That's the biggest thing holding us and some of the early users back from making the videos we want to quickly. Often, we need to re-run a bunch of times until we get a scene we like. The long-term roadmap is to build out a really fun viewing experience, where it's easy to remix characters from the videos you're watching. We do want Eggnog to be used by creators like those who use Midjourney. Two characters in the scene is more difficult -- it's not something you can do with Eggnog currently, but we will build that eventually.

I think you’re missing the point (but possible I am).

My understanding is that OP is proposing that since the grandparents would be raising the kids, this would incentivize people to have kids much younger, e.g. in their early 20s, or even teens.

So the “grandparents” would be in their early/mid 40s, or even late 30s.

Definitely not “old people”.

And zero experience parenting, yes (just like any new parent today), but definitely more life experience, and likely more mature.

Not saying I’d advocate for this — I think there are still some flaws with this — but an interesting hypothetical that’s fun to discuss.
With time, you start using the menu very rarely, because keyboard shortcuts are so much faster. No menu bar means more screen space when working on a laptop.

If you look into the edits in Wayback Machine, you see that previously, the "Ken's experience" was:

"Unnerved by the idea that he could have rolled over on his watch while sleeping and allowed criminals to take over his Apple account, Ken said ..."

Once the article was updated, the original sentence implying that criminals could take over your account while you are sleeping was completely rewritten to say the 180 degree opposite - completely reversing what the initial sensational content said. In reality it is not possible to accidentally hand over your account to attackers by accidentally tapping Allow on your watch in your sleep.

The update disclosure only says: "Added perspective on Ken’s experience."
I also have a simple downgrade path to a fully mechanical vehicle. On the Benz replace the injector pump with a mechanical one and the transmission with an older hydraulically controlled automatic or manual. Similar options available on the Toyota.

But really the "threat model" is about complexity, not malice. I'm not worried someone will try to hack my car. If they manage it, good on them. I am worried about a manufacturer preventing me from maintaining my cars. Newer cars are so tightly locked down that maintenance is unnecessarily difficult.

The better question might be: What is your imagined use case for this radio? A VHF/UHF handheld is more or less limited to LOS transmission, so you would either need to be within reliable range of a repeater or another person with an HT tuned to that frequency. If you’re looking for something you can use in a backcountry emergency, you’d frankly be better off just plunking down the money for a satphone, which is going to be much more reliable. An HT radio is unlikely to be of much use in that scenario, unless you know there’s a repeater nearby that is regularly used and that you can hit from your location. OTOH, if you’re looking for a new hobby and a gadget to play around with, get a license, pick up an UV-K5, and have fun!

If you want to get a license just to play on the radio, it is super easy. A Technician license will allow you legally to use any VHF/UHF radio with full access to those bands (plus all of 6m and some access to other HF bands).

It’s extremely simple to get licensed. Put the HamStudy app on your phone, run through the question pool/practice exams until the info is in your memory, and then sign up for a remote exam on HamStudy.org. I studied for my Technician license for like a day and a half and aced the Tech exam. I aced my General and Extra exams within a week using the same method. I have no background in tech or EE. So, yeah, it’s easy.
This was intriguing to me, so I want to share how I did some light investigation of the question.

I don't know if it can summarize books correctly always, it almost always does; and I also don't know if there's just a bias in publishing about race relations because that sells.

But it seems right to me that the most orthodox opinion is that racial bias, drug policy and socioeconomic status are the biggest factors in the severity of sentencing in general.

So you are referencing two acutely exceptional cases - a white collar crime by a rich person that only somewhat interacts with drug abuse of Aderrall that is acutely severely punished, and a drug-related crime that is acutely poorly punished.
there’s no learning involved in the immune response in the brain. the brain is limited to the innate immune system, of which TLRs and their binding to conserved domains are basically the major component. there’s no adaptive immune system that does “learning” here (and by learning in the adaptive immune system we mean recombination of antibodies, presentation of contents of each cell on the surface of the cells for antibodies to try and bind to, and the preservation of cells that carry antibodies that bound to something successfully as memory cells to enable long term immunity)

Full replication is probably always lower latency but costs N times as many copies that you want to store whereas erasure coding costs N/M. The cost of replicating write traffic is similar.
> Or in analog terms they'd just be a resistor whose value can be changed

For what it's worth, that's actually a thing (ReRAM/memristors), but I think it got put on the back burner because it requires novel materials and nobody figured out how to cost-effectively scale up the fabrication versus scaling up flash memory. I saw some mention recently that advances in perovskite materials (a big deal lately due to potential solar applications) might revive the concept.
