You know, that's fair. I touch type but I also peck, so I don't really notice it. So long as I don't have to go to the number pad or, god forbid, the mouse - it's no difference to me.
As I understand it, there are several steps to canine hunting behaviour, and instead of completing the whole sequence, the various breeds tend to prefer certain steps to others. So heelers like to chase/fix, and maybe nip, but don't bite and hold (which would be the next step in the wild type), and scent hounds like the tracking step while sight hounds like the flushing step.

All dog's noses may be more or less equal, but the average scent hound is more interested in sniffing out (and less interested in running riot) than the average non-scent hound, making them more suitable for tracking jobs.

I would say: the state has all the power in the situation. All the company can do is present its position as well as possible, and as long as they're not breaking the law (e.g. bribery, when it would be joint culpability) then that's fine. The company is there to provide value for its customers and shareholders, and employment for its employees. The state's whole job, for which it takes free money from every transaction in its country, is to be impartial. Outside of bribery, at best its culpability is 99%. At worst it's 100%.
Out of curiosity I googled to see if there's formal names to things beyond UV and a SO question came up saying Klingon has a word for a color that falls within the UV spectrum, Amarklor; it "falls between violet amarklor (dark violet or purple) and amaklor-kalish (almost black)".

Else there's Octarine from the Discworld books, it's the colour of magic.

Another one in that same SO thread is err, quantifying synesthesia in the study of "chromophonics", where sound is assigned a color and vice-versa, that is, one could name a colour after a sound, which matches up with the earlier "octave" analogy.
It is a dual socket Pentium III machine. I forget if I tried to run Debian on it or not but trying several other distros with a i386 version a few years ago only ever lead to boot issues complaining about some CPU feature missing and it wouldn't boot even after hours of me searching and trying to reconfigure grub settings.
> Voters need to wake up and recognize that they need to pay for solutions

I'm a middle-class nobody from a poor background, I own a single-story 3-bedroom, 2 bathroom house. I pay $18,000 a year in property taxes on my house. I pay an additional 8.5% sales tax on everything I buy locally. I pay tens of thousands of dollars every year in income taxes.

Just how much more do I need to pay? Why should we trust that giving the government even more money will solve the problem, when every previous experience shows that they spend massively while barely impacting the problem?

You're right that sections reference each other, and sometimes reference other regulations. By creating the "plan for the junior lawyer", the LLM can reference multiple related sections at the same time. In the second step of the example plan in the post there's a reference to "Articles 8-15", meaning 7 articles that should be analyzed together.

The system is indeed limited in the way that it cannot reference other regulations. We've heard it's a problem from users too.
Current trendy AI technologies are great for producing solutions but not good at confirming they're good solutions. So, there's increasing need for ways to confirm the solutions. Theorem proving is a way to do this.

Some of the end goals could be: (1) program verification becomes something that's done by default, (2) the entire mathematics literature becomes formalized and verified (and all errors there found and corrected), with programs able to read and formalize papers from the old literature, and (3) new mathematics is done largely by computer, with people acting as "is this interesting?" filters more than agents of discovery. I don't see any reason why mathematics should be immune to domination by computers, any more than (say) Go (the game) was.

By and large they do. English, like all indo European languages, used to have many grammatical cases and verb forms. Now we mostly retain cases in pronouns, and most verbs are about two forms per tense.

Latin used to have all its cases suffixes, and today's Romance languages have dropped nearly all of them.

If you add `set relativenumber` to your .vimrc, then the nth line up and the nth line down from from your current line will each have an n on the left-hand side. This lets you see at a glance which motion (e.g., `5k` or `12j`) will take you to a given line.

Well, you can start by taking a look at regulations that start mentioning SBOMs, at first recommending their existence and use and then moving to mandating them.

Without looking things up, I can mention White House Executive Order 14028 (2021) and National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan (2023) in the US, EU's Cyber Resilience Act (2023), national legislation in Germany and Japan (2023-2024), etc.

A melancholic and romantic but ultimately useless perspective.

It is impossible to know, with certainty, if any decision is the best one because we only live one life. We can make educated guesses about our "what if's" but we'll never know.
And furthermore, you have to accept that the road not taken will also have disadvantages and trade-offs that you could not have anticipated at the time.

There are some decisions that you can be pretty sure are big mistakes. And some of these are irreversible. And we are all running out of time.

But generally speaking, I tend to agree with the Proustian perspective -- the "big moments," generally speaking, are the product of a lot of little moments and decisions. Spouses don't suddenly decide to cheat one day, careers aren't made by one or two wrong moves. Rather, I think we only remember the moments in which all of our little decisions culminate into one event -- precisely because it is memorable.

You have to learn to love your fate. There are so many branching permutations of quantum lives that it's impossible to ever know if you chose the "best" one.
Generative AI could have a paradoxical effect of making slow, human generated content more valuable because the only alternative is free meaninglessness generated from older meaningless free content.

In comparison, 18 A100 GPUs would have 5.6 petaflops and 1.4 TB vram, consuming 5.6 kw.

The speed of processing and interconnect is orders of magnitude faster for an A100 cluster - 1 8 gpu pod server will cost around $200k, so around $600k more or less beats the supercomputer performance (price I'm searching seems wildly variable, please correct me if I'm wrong.)
Medicare/medicaid denies for medical necessity all the time.
The definition of markets is extremely simple/vague [1]. Sure we have added laws on top to make more people more comfortable participating, but where exactly is the fundamental requirement for laws to allow people to exchange goods?

With regards to speech, you simply just can't have free speech if there are limits. You aren't free to say whatever you want, and there's nothing wrong with that view. I totally understand why hate speech makes people uncomfortable and why some (a majority?) think it should be banned. Those people have just come across a reason why they don't actually agree that free speech is a fundamental right, instead preferring some speech to be restricted if a majority of people disagree with it.

The argument that you can have free speech with limitations is incoherent and goes against the entire concept. Finding a different term for some middle ground of partially regulated speech is totally reasonable, but claiming that its free is a misuse of the words.

Actually I wasn't that interested in throughput, only the latency in terms of instructions executed since sending until it is received, though indeed the throughput is also superior with tokio.

For most applications this difference doesn't really matter, but maybe some applications do a lot of small things where it does matter? In those cases it might be an easy solution to switch from standard threads to tokio async and gain 10x speed, as the structure of the applications remains the same.

> It's a benchmark of the channels themselves and whatever locking/synchronization stuff they use.

Yeah, in retrospect some mutex-benchmark might be better, though I don't expect a message channel implemented on top of that is noticeably slower. A mutex benchmark is probably easier to get wrong..

> What would be more interesting is to have longer running jobs doing some task inside themselves and only periodically (ever few seconds, say) synchronizing.

I don't quite see how this would give any different results. Of course, in that case the time it takes to transmit the message would be completely meaningless.

> What's the tokio executor's settings by default there? Multithreaded or not? I'd be curious how e.g. whether tokio is actually using multiple threads or not here.

It's using the multithreaded executor. I tried the benchmark with #[tokio::main(worker_threads = 1)] and 2 and while with =1 the result was 529 but with =2 it was 566.

> yet many countries have successful universal healthcare

Few which provide the level of care the upper middle class and above have come to expect in America. If you make more than $100 yo 167k (85th and 95th percentiles [1]), a good fraction of HN readers, you should be able to virtually walk into any medical establishment and get not only seen within a few days, but also tested and imaged by the latest technology, and consulted on by some of the best doctors in the world. You will do this without worrying about costs, because your employer has chosen an insurer who pitched on experience in addition to cost, because you have the market power to change jobs (or be heard by management) if your healthcare sucks.

Universal healthcare means everyone on a PPO falls to the middle class’s HMO-esque standards. For us privileged few, that’s a tough pill to swallow. That is the fundamental injustice and tradeoff that locks us into the status quo, not some paranoia about socialism.

[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affluence_in_the_United_Stat...
Basically every single US healthcare provider needs someone whose job involves insurance claim disputes, just because there's just too much money in it. The person denying claims, and the person maximizing billing on the other side are ultimately getting paid by the rest of us.
Nope, it's a thing! The Dirac Equation is one example. It explains the Pauli exclusion principle and predicts anti-matter.

> It is consistent with both the principles of quantum mechanics and the theory of special relativity, and was the first theory to account fully for special relativity in the context of quantum mechanics.

What we don't have is a grand unified theory (a single set of rules that generates both theories), but we can consider relativistic effects in QM theories, and (I assume) vice versa.

Phreaking has since become closely linked with computer hacking.

Yep. These days I think you could say that there is a discrete field of "phreaking" but as a subset of "computer hacking" in general. From what I know of it coughnot muchcough it mostly means messing around with the SS7 network[1] using SCTP[2] endpoints, or getting SS7 access from a low-budget / fly by night telco somewhere. Or maybe finding a machine that's on the standard TCP/IP based Internet that also has an SS7 connection, hack that and use it as a bridge or whatever.

There's probably still some cell-phone hacking stuff going on as well, but AIUI, that's gotten a lot more difficult over the years as well.

That said, a very small amount of old skool phreaking "stuff" still works to a point. If you find a business or a home with a POTS landline you can still use a beige-box at the demarc point and tap their line, make calls, etc. And in theory, a red box would still work on one of the 2 or 3 telco run payphones (not COCOTS) that probably exist somewhere in the world.

How does a family with three kids fit into a Corolla?

If we just dive down the rabbit hole of cheaper economy cars all we are saying is that the standard of living is declining when we compare to the past.

A 1987 Dodge Caravan cost between $25k and $38k in today's money. You can't even get a base model Chrysler Pacifica for that much.

I agree on the fact that most people are buying used cars...but used car prices are based on the benchmark of new car prices, and they're higher APR loans as well. So really both categories are getting less and less affordable.
Show HN: GitHub tool to generate and update code documentation automatically
Hi guys!

While working in teams, internal documentation is important. But the problem is, writing it takes much time. It doesn't end there, keeping them up-to-date is a big deal as well.

I built this simple tool that analyzes your codebase and automatically generates documentation right into your Github repo. Whenever you make a new commit, it analyzes the updates and modifies the existing docs to keep them up-to-date.

That means, you don't need to spend time struggling with docs again. And, the new hire won't stare at the senior for that huge undocumented codebase. It works for any team size, so scalable for startups and agencies.

I launched this a few weeks ago and it has already improved a lot with all the feedback from people. I am building this in public, so you can see my progress on twitter too.

I would love to know your thoughts on this! Any suggestions or feedback would be highly appreciated!
These are blades, so there is probably some kind of container chassis required to run them.

> The core tool being offered here is allowing experts to focus more on checking work than solving work.

That sounds like a nightmare, not an improvement. Really, think about it. It's the same shit as "self driving" cars that need continuous human monitoring. You're taking an relatively engaging task and replacing it with a mind-numbing slog that humans are particularly bad at.

Not to mention the skill of being able to "check work" usually flows from deep experience of "doing work."

To be fair, under democracy, everyone must be doing this. That is your democratic obligation. Most people just don't. And fair enough that they don't – I value prioritizing putting a roof over my head and having food to eat too!

Perhaps the takeaway here is, ultimately, that capitalism and democracy are incompatible?

I hate to suggest adding yet another layer to the US healthcare system, but you are right and it seems there is a huge space for some kind of private (third party) health advocate/Sherpa - not the free ones that many health plans are offering now to find in-network doctors for you - that you PAY and in return they maximize the healthcare system for you the way that a good tax accountant/lawyer will minimize your taxes
The individual servers are not watercooled. The compute racks are air-cooled; the adjacent cooling racks then exchange that heat using the building's chilled water. It's the rack as a whole that is watercooled. If you extract a single node, you won't get any of that. As the other commenters also point out, these are blades; you can't run an individual node by itself.
