There’s nothing misleading in the study, because they very clearly state the methodology for intangibles, and even provide an alternate calculation excluding it:

Finally, net benefits were significantly reduced when benefits were limited to the reduction in economic losses associated with medical costs and work losses, excluding the intangible costs associated with pain and suffering

…although net benefits appear to have remained positive using a 3 percent discount rate, benefits were generally comparable to costs when a 7 percent discount rate was applied.

Honestly it looks fun
Goroutines aren't coroutines. This isn't a nitpick, it's pretty essential to understanding the goals and non-goals of Neco.

Coroutines are a control-flow primitive which allows for a lot of useful things, including advancing program state while a coroutine waits on a syscall, generators, iterators, producer-consumer patterns with channels, and combinations of these things. They generalize function calls, or structure goto, if you prefer.

Some of these applications are glossed as concurrent, particularly their use to free the thread when execution blocks, but all of them are single-threaded. Goroutines are preëmptively scheduled, and can be relocated between threads transparently. That isn't really a coroutine, which is why they have a different name.

The README has some notes on how to use Neco coroutines in a multithreaded environment. It's basically how you'd run execution paths of multiple function calls on several threads, because coroutines are an orthogonal concern to threads.

There’s a certain sort of delusional self-identified genius that loves the idea of there being something that most people can’t do safely, that they can, because they simply know to be safe, whereas these other idiots do not. It’s like if you took the “C is safe, humans are not!” crowd and gave them something that caused amputations instead of buffer overflows.
People are still bullish on Moore's.

Like jasomill mentions, the browser playback issues statement has not been true on desktops for a long time. The most recent (or only) example I know of is iPhones, which finally added passable support for non-44.1kHz audio somewhere between iOS 15.7 (late 2022) and last august. Until then they'd sound like a broken vinyl deck when playing 48 kHz audio, oscillating in playback rate and crackling like crazy -- especially when passing through an AudioContext.
Here's the first thing I noticed when I just looked up SawStop. They have a reasonable saw for $2k, in the same "class" as my 1970s Sears, based solely on size. And not all that much more expensive than other brands.

Looking at the picture, the saw is safer than mine even without the brake, because of the quality of the fence and other fittings. Unfortunately, a mandate won't get saws like mine out of circulation.

What's keeping me from going right out and getting a new saw is that mine is only used sporadically, and is mainly a "horizontal surface" in my garage. I'm done with the big projects that made my house livable.

My safety rule for now (this is not professional advice) is that I don't attempt tricky cuts at all. The biggest risk I've noticed is trying to hold onto a workpiece that's too small, and I'd rather just scrap it and use longer stock. My hands are never closer than several inches away from the blade. And I have other tools for other jobs, such as a chop saw, so I don't try to do "everything" with the table saw.
Because capital gains can only occur when you sell something you bought. It’s a one time event, specific to a given asset.

income occurs without a change in control of some asset, due to dividends, pass through profits, wages, etc.

They’re fundamentally different types of things happening.

For example: rent == income. Selling the house? Capital gains.

As to if they are or should be taxed at different rates is orthogonal to if they are different types of events.

I can assure you, anyone that owns a home or stocks really would like to avoid treating them the same way. Which is a huge portion of the population, not just some random 1%’er somewhere.

And ‘unproductive’ real estate still pays property taxes.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, but there definitely are places that will make you broke if you eat there every day.

Gave it a try and added a few assets and liabilities. I like it, especially appreciate the use of the FileSystem APIs (shame Firefox doesn't fully support it yet). Bookmarked and I'll try and remember to update each month :)

Only 2 minor things I noticed, usability-wise:

1. Didn't know you had to click on the dollar amount to update the value of the item, thought it would be in the edit modal (via the pencil icon)

2. When adding/editing a liability, the modal doesn't vertically scroll when the viewport is not tall enough. The background does, but not the dialog.
NB. Although the paper appears in "Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment and Technology Law", none of the authors are lawyers.

SSRN is pathetic as a source for papers, IMHO. Quality control is nonexistent. Even something simple like the URL for Shaoor Munir's website is incorrect. The "a href" is http://https//. This is a PhD candidate in Computer Science.

In the paper itself,1 Shuba is listed as "independent researcher". Her website states "independent researcher by night". It would not make sense to list DuckDuckGo as the affiliated organisation as she is doing the work on her own time. Arguably her website should be listed though, so readers can discover that she works there during the day.

Here is an example of SSRN's quality control:

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4576722

The SSRN paper submission instructions appear to make it mandatory to submit an affiliation. The reality is that we could list our dogs as a co-authors and SSRN would accept the paper.

SSRN is just plain annoying. The website tries to force people into enabling Javascript just to download a PDF. That is totally unnecessary. Look at arxiv.org.

As someone who wears headphones basically all day at work (painter...) I 100% agree. It's a whole different experience, in a different dynamic.

On a similar note, 80% of the time I'm wearing my Sony linkbuds -- the ones with the "they have a hole in them" passthrough, even though they have the shortest battery life of the multiple sets I own.

Realistically, beyond the (not dismissing) "they are trash when the batteries die" aspect of things, taking your headphones out for 10-20 minutes every 4 ish hours... Is probably a good thing for our ears and minds alike.
Under the new tax regime, individual income up to ₹750,000 is tax free due to a combination of standard deduction and 87A.

Given that many small businesses often accept UPI payments in multiple names (husband, wife, mother etc), a small family can actually manage ₹1,500,000-3,000,000 in (legitimate) tax free income.

That is about $18-36,000.

Which is a lot in India.
Four-lane and eight-lane twinax cables exist; I think each pair is individually shielded. Beyond that there's fiber.
> While the plants themselves are expensive, producing wind and solar power at large scale and offsetting intermittency incurs costs in the form of increased transmission capacity and storage requirements.

My understanding is that solar and wind are cheaper than nuclear even when accounting for storage.

That's before you get to the externalized costs, such as waste disposal and decomissioning.
Oh this is fun! So you basically define personalities by picking well-known people that are probably represented in the training data and ask them (their LLM-imagined doppelganger) to vote?
> EIA expects 13 GW of battery storage capacity to be added between the time of this report and 2025.

That's like 20 power plants worth of instantly available power. This makes paired PV truly dispatchable. Wow.

You're listing crack wars and abortion as completely independent issues, whereas abortion could have direct effect on the former.
> In contrast, we have several technologies in hand that are going to see a 10x-100x reduction in cost, and even at current prices are competitive or the market leader: wind, solar, and batteries.

Isn't it a bit crazy to assume such a huge drop in costs? The same thing was done with nuclear: electricity too cheap to meter. Only it never materialized.

Also, wind and solar are cheap, but they lean on fossil fuels for random dispatch. Basically we produce as much wind and solar as the weather permits, then top it up with gas or coal. But what is the cost of providing base load via renewables+batteries right now (and if it's competitive then why aren't there more such installations, apart from a few unusually sunny places).

Don't get me wrong, a future with 100% renewable, cheap energy sounds great, but I think nuclear getting cheaper is no more optimistic than banking on a 10-100x price drop for renewables and batteries.
Recent Advances on Foundation Models
Yeah this guy gets it.

Regardless of your stance on whether the government should regulate x or y, it's important to understand that the people driving this law do not care about you or your fingers. This is rent seeking; someone who makes safe saws wants to sell more of their saws, and they compete with people who sell less safe saws. They are using the legal system to benefit their own bottom line.

After the real goal is established, reasons like "think of the children" or "think of the fingers" can be fabricated.
This generally resonates with what we've found. Some colour based on our experiences.

It's worth spending a lot of time thinking about what a successful LLM call actually looks like for your particular use case. That doesn't have to be a strict validation set `% prompts answered correctly` is good for some of the simpler prompts, but especially as they grow and handle more complex use cases that breaks down. In an ideal world

> chain-of-thought has a speed/cost vs. accuracy trade-off
a big one.

Observability is super important and we've come to the same conclusion of building that internally.

> Fine-tune your model

Do this for cost and speed reasons rather than to improve accuracy. There are decent providers (like Openpipe, relatively happy customer, not associated) who will handle the hard work for you.
> After nearly 70 years, I think we need to take a hard look at what nuclear actually is. And it's a fantastically complex, wondrously large, construction project, that has to last a long long time without big repairs.

Why "withougt big repairs"?

The province of Ontario is in the middle of refurbishing their CANDU reactors (with the project currently on-budget and ahead of schedule). This will make them useable for another few decades.

Depending on the design, there's no reason why (at least in some cases) components can't be replaced regularly to keep things going (Ship of Theseus-like):

> But current attempts are skating to where the puck was 5-10 years ago, and they won't finish until the puck has spent 10-15 years more of shifting towards ever cheaper solar, wind, and batteries.

Japan was finishing (A)BWR nuclear plants in 4-5 years:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_commercial_nuclear_rea...

The reason why things take so long in the US is:

* things start and stop (versus just deciding on a course of action of going for it)

* having so many 'one-off' designs, so experience cannot be transferred between plants (settled on one design, like France and Canada did; maybe two)

* ordering one unit at a time (maybe two), so economies of scale cannot be started (build in pairs, with a goal of having 4/6/8 reactors in one location)
> but I do not operate with such faith, and prefer data.

And what data is telling you that wind power is going to see a 100x drop? The reality is that only one of us has backed up our claims about the feasibly of lower costs with data. I pointed to the historical precedence of cheaper nuclear power. Your claim of 10-100x drop in costs is not.
I had the same experience when doing a career report in junior highschool. I spoke to a vet who had graduated from UC Davis a few years prior and they did everything in their power to talk me out of becoming one.
According to the talk I watched, tigerbeetle makes heavy use of io_uring on linux - which isn't part of POSIX.

Adding freebsd support should be pretty easy. If it supports darwin, it'll probably already have an implementation built on top of freebsd's kqueue. Its probably just a case of wiring it up to use kqueue when built for freebsd.
Advice to prospective Google Summer of Code participants
This is a bizarre take because if not for SawStop, many, many more people would have lost blood, appendages, and lives to conventional table saws. In fact, SawStop the company only exists because 20 years ago every table saw manufacturer refused to license the technology from the inventor. None of them wanted it at any price because it would increase the cost of their saws and reduce their profits.
Apples (stow) and oranges (containers and exo-package builders and management).

When using commands in conflict with the installed base combined and with things that should run unmodified, it gets tricky, usually in the form of shim binaries or improper PATH manipulation, to run things sufficiently isolated and predictably.

It's cheap enough and reduces the risks for leaking dependencies to create a chroot/jail/cgroup environment that only includes just enough of a standard environment and its specific dependencies rather than allowing unfettered access to all the things at all times.

Depends on what you're doing whether some things can be shoveled in or need more isolation guarantees.
What's the replication story currently like?
> is the only form of non-intermittent green energy production other than geographically limited options like dams and geothermal

That "is" should be a "was".

> The globe currently uses 60 TWh of electricity per day. That's 30,000 GWh for 12 hours of storage.

Bloomberg New Energy Finance tracks battery production capacity announcements, and has a total world capacity of 7.9 TWh/year by the end of 2025 [0]. With a warrantied life of 12-20 years, that 2025 manufacturing capacity would support 95-158 TWh of ongoing storage.

Keep in mind that the talking points you are drawing from are several years of out date and assume an audience that knows little about the world of energy. HN is not the right place to pull out the standard bag of tricks from the electronic information toolkit.

For example, you claim a need for "seasonal" storage out of nowhere, but do not consider the obvious (to the HN audince at least) idea of overcapacity such that there's enough generation at the seasonal minimum to cover needs, and oversupply the rest of the year.

Already, many countries in Europe have seen single-digit /MWh average prices this month [1]. That's going to become far more common during most of the year.

I’m confused by the naming of their models. Is this equivalent to or associated with one of the existing turbo-preview models?
I'd be curious to see some examples and maybe intermediate results?
Those cables definitely exist for Ethernet, and regarding cross talk, that's what shielding is for.

Although not for 200 Gbps, at that rate you either use big twinax DACs, or go to fibre.

That is actually an old story, and is not entirely correct.

It turns out the Germans also had a much more advanced cypher called Lorenz, which required rather more advanced hardware, including the world's first programmable electronic computer. This was Colossus.

>Gass: I was out in my shop one day, and I looked over at my table saw, and the idea kind of came to me. I wondered if one could stop the blade fast enough if you ran your hand into it to prevent serious injury.

>I started puttering around on how to stop things quickly. The simplest would have been a solenoid, but that would have been too slow and weak. I had come from RC airplanes—so I used the nose landing gear torsion spring from an RC airplane for an early experiment, that spring provided the force and I held it back with a fuse wire, a maybe 10 thou diameter fuse wire. I set up some capacitors to discharge through the wire and melt it in a few milliseconds, and I was able to generate maybe 20 lbs of force against a blade.

So this isn't one of those cases of a patent attorney taking over an existing invention/company.

>Gass: Now that SawStop is established, any royalties Grizzly might pay would be less than what SawStop could earn by selling the same number of saws itself, and therefore, as I have explained, a license at the present time is far more challenging because of the risk it creates to SawStop’s business. This, of course, changes should the CPSC implement a requirement for table saws to include active injury mitigation systems. Should that happen, we have said we would offer non-discriminatory licenses to all manufacturers.
I have a number of issues with these schemes generally. However, in this case my primary hesitation is that it's Google, and I lost trust in Google a good while back.
The overall emissions in the world would distinctly go down if all countries in the world stopped burning fossil fuels. Energy, heat and transportation are the main sources of fossil fuel consumption, and energy and heat is almost exclusively fossil free in Switzerland.

Since you brought up examples like Namibia, what would happen to emissions if Switzerland invaded Namibia and took over that country? Switzerland per capital emissions would drastically go down, but global emissions would obvious be unchanged.

Comparing the construction cost of nuclear with the lifetime cost of renewables gives wildly inaccurate cost estimates.

Historically nuclear required ~500 highly skilled workers per GW for 50 years. Call it ~50 million / year * 50 years and labor alone is 2.5 Billion dollars. Fuel rods, replacement equipment, insurance, decommissioning, etc all add up.

You want really cheap nuclear, find out how you can safely operate a nuclear power plant without 24/7 armed security, enrichment, etc. Lower construction costs alone just won’t cut it. We’re rapidly approaching the point where handing someone a fully built reactor for free and they can’t operate profitably without subsidies.

> Consistent with our theory, looking at arrest data, which reveal the age of the offender, the declines in crime were concentrated among those born after abortion became legal.

This seems to be confusing correlation with causation.

Aren't there many other possible causes to explain the decrease in crime?

For example, couldn't the decrease in crime (overall) be attributable to the fact that, due to better technology and policing methods, more criminals get caught, deterring future would-be criminals as well as removing their support and educational network and means of organization?

That, and RICO, which has certainly decimated Cosa Nostra in the U.S., to the point that current and former members admit that the Italian/Sicilian Mafia will likely cease to exist as a significant organization in the near future.

As well, the web arose during the 90's and caused profound societal changes, and the percentage of people carrying cash or available places holding cash has dropped every year since the 90's. Even bank robberies, which dominated crime in Los Angeles in the 80's, have largely disappeared.
The vanilla package can replicate to or from MySQL via binlog replication. But since it's memory only, that's probably not what you want. You probably want to supply the library a backend with persistence, not the built-in memory-only one

Until recently, most people had kids by the time they were 25 and it's hard to tell people who are in charge of raising other people, that they can't do something. You have to pick a cut off date somewhere. The chasm between 21 and 25 is vast, though.
