The so-called "market" isn't telling anybody anything here. The financiers are the only ones speaking and all they're saying is they can't turn as much profit in their own individual lifetimes. It is a total disregard for society as a whole, which is why we're in this mess.
Why do you need react to render static blog posts?
No, this is still a thing (and a performance issue) in both Java and C#.
Covariance has a substantial penalty on array writes (20-40% depending on the benchmark).

I'm not that familiar with Java, but in C#, the only ways to avoid the penalty are either making the class of the array type sealed (so the runtime knows that you can't put any subtype into it) or using a construct like this if you work with someone else's type which you can't make sealed:

[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]
private static T access<T>(T[] arr, int index) {
ref T tableRef = ref MemoryMarshal.GetArrayDataReference(arr);
return Unsafe.Add(ref tableRef, index);
}

(this doesn't bounds check either, and hard-crashes on an empty array so you need to guard it appropriately)

The thing is that the economy in the West hasn't actually "crashed" in any meaningful way in my lifetime. Maybe during Covid, kind of, when we had supply chain issues for a bit? A lot of that was self inflicted too.

A crash to me is like, I wake up, £1 is worth 50p and in one fell swoop I'm significantly net negative every month. Or like, the supermarkets start closing down, there's no fuel left in the petrol stations, etc.

A crash is not - things cost 5%, 10% more over a period of months, and it's a bit harder to find a job.

I grew up without even getting pocket money, I have a "reverse inheritance" e.g. I pay my parents on occasion, the memetic idea that everyone who isn't underwater comes from Big Money(tm) just seems like self destructive behaviour to me.

I just don't identify with the mindset. My feeling is that most people prioritise other things over their financial wellbeing because they think that's "normal" or whatever.

All you need to do to almost completely immunise yourself against this stuff is to spend, say, 70-80% of what you earn, less if that's viable. There is someone out there already, in your town, who earns about 70-80% of what you do, so just live like them.
Why people are still pro-nuclear is a good indicator they don't take climate change seriously. CO2 emissions are reduced more quickly and more cheaply by going with renewables instead of pouring the money down the nuclear rathole. This is especially the case when experience effects on renewables and storage are included. The faster we spend on them, the faster they get cheaper, and the more quickly even existing fossil fuel capacity becomes cash flow negative.

I think you have that mixed around. Basic awareness/consciousness/awareness is not especially notable or exciting, it's incredibly common and many aspects are well understood.

Self-awareness, an actual consciousness and inner voice, is exceedingly rare and poorly understood, and I think it would therefore be significantly more fascination since so much is yet to be discovered and understood.

> There is no “hard problem of self-awareness”.

Well, there is. The type of consciousness being referred to in "Hard problem of consciousness" is of a type that would require self-awareness as a prerequisite to exist. It's almost synonymous with it.

> Whereas with sentience (awareness), we have no explanation for why any physical state is sentient rather than nonsentient.

- Decent pension after retiring

Total nonsense. None of that is of any help if you are facing a real economic crisis. The economic disasters in the last decades all have been mild, some people lost their jobs, some companies went under, some lost everything in the stock market.

During some historical economical disasters, people lost all their saving, their jobs and all safety they thought they possessed. None of your suggestions would have helped, many, many people who were well off, saved diligently, spent cautiously and never borrowed too much were suddenly destitute and had to make serious efforts to find calories.

The reality of economic disasters is that no one is safe, regardless of what you do or don't do.
You mainly got it right. Usually one does have many scalar 'c' cells, that talk to each other via memory mixing. For the sLSTM, you group them into heads, talking only to cells within the same head. The reason that we referred to scalar cells here is that these are that fundamental building block. Many of them can and are usually combined and vector notation is useful in this case.

For the matrix 'C' state, there are also heads/cells in that sense that you have multiple, but they don't talk to each other. So yes, you can view that as a 3D tensor. And here, the matrix is the fundamental building block / concept.
Economies of scale don't work for infrastructure. I mean if it would work for nuclear plants why have people not done it for coal plants? There have been many of them build, and a nuclear power plant is 70% the same as a coal power plant (which incidentally also explains much of the cost for nuclear power generation, it's essentially a thermal plant with added complexity, so can't really be significantly cheaper than a coal plant).
I can cite multiple mainstream sources that definitely suggest it connotes something other than the broadest possible version of that, including, again, Wikipedia. The barest definition isn’t a full description of what a word suggests to people.

I agree that this is the meaning in startup and “hustle” culture: any business whatsoever may be described as entrepreneurship.

[edit] my entire point is simply that the “opening a solo software consultancy is entrepreneurship” or what have you is not universally accepted, and that my experience (plus what evidence I’ve found) is that this sense predates the one of “starting literally any kind of money-making venture is entrepreneurship” which is common in spaces like HN. You may disagree, but I guarantee there are many contexts in which using it in the startup/hussle sense will make you come off as clownish or a liar, if not some kind of con artist, if people realize you aren’t talking about the kind of thing they think you are.
Glad you got a good provider, but that’s anecdata. You kind of acknowledge this with the word choice “should.”

I am trying to build an innovative knowledge base application with AI at it's center.

The application can store all the docs, templates, "customer and project data (coming soon)" of a company and then the team can query the data, write emails, and do a lot more, wherever they are with a chrome extension. It's specially helpful for people like community manager, HR, sales, etc...

Earlier I ran an agency, it was very difficult to delegate a lot of tasks with reliability. This app can ease that.

But I feel that people are not able to understand this Idea properly as they are not booking call with the button on the website.

I am getting good traffic but no call bookings which is not what I expected

JS and python are just about all programming languages?

I'm not trying to be snarky, but e.g. I haven't seen it in Go, F# and Rust, some languages where I have at least seen _some_ code. I also don't remember a similar pattern in Java, C# and C nor PHP or Dart, but I will readily admit that it's I haven't coded in any of these in the last two years, so I might be a bit out of touch and I'm not super proficient in all those languages
> I get that it's all client-side, but that is not an advantage to people working with video files, which are often large, and upload speeds are often the biggest bottleneck.

This comment seems strange to me, can you explain it better?

I would guess that for most video editing, source files will generally be either on some form of local storage, or will hosted with a cloud storage provider. Unless your server side editor is also providing your storage, I don't see how this is a benefit. Source files will generally be significantly largers so waiting on uploading material till after you have the finished result seems better for slow connections.

For Edmonton & Calgary at least, which house the majority of Alberta’s population, such infrastructure would’ve meant better planning for growth, reducing the low-density sprawl we see today.
US citizens owe the US government taxes on their income regardless where it was earned, barring some specific exclusions. At any rate, where a company is registered or where an asset is held doesn't necessarily have much bearing on where work is done or what infrastructure is used and to what extent.

I don't see any implementation there.
In any case, we are planning a code release soon.
If the overruns are due to salesmanship and lowballing, not unforeseeable problems, then one can expect SMRs to be subject to them just like traditional nuclear. This was the UAMPS/NuScale experience.
Most of those ideas are bad because to be a unicorn you need to achieve something that seems damn near impossible at the time. Think VR, AI, Take over taxi biz, compete with big finance. It’s not a bad idea per se but it’s bad because it takes ridiculous scale to do so and most likely to fail
I'd also like to know what the ROI is for countries other than the US, particularly ones in Europe, where getting a bachelor degree is significantly cheaper and cost of living (in many places) hasn't risen as much as it has in the US.

I guess the issue with college funding is: is it an entitlement or an incentive program?

If it's an entitlement, we could just give people money whether or not they choose to spend it on college.

If it's an incentive (buying a good outcome for society), then it seems fair that the funder has some say in what they're buying.

I've heard Canada does have a serious problem with oscillating supply/demand mismatch in their medical education funding.

But it feels like that could be smoothed by using look back averaging & creating a +/- % system vs a hard, "there are no more slots" one.

Not spilling registers into the stack will show up quickly.

You have to instigate a GC torture test as part of your testing, combined with a way of detecting use-after-free. (An obvious way is to reset the type of freed objects, so any use of such an object runs into type mismatches.)

A GC torture tests causes the collection routine to be called often, like after every allocation. If an object is allocated, and now held only in an unspilled register, and then another object is allocated; that first object will be wrongly freed. This is what we want: reproduce the problem, and then hopefully detect it.

If you're garbage collecting underneath a compiler that doesn't know about garbage collection, you have to worry about not only values held in registers not being spilled, but values that are optimized away entirely, which your garbage collector has to see.

For instance:

obj foo_create(obj param)
{
struct foo_object *foo = malloc(sizeof *fo);
foo->bar_attribute = param;
return create_heap_object(foo_type, foo);
}

The problem is that param has no next use after it is assigned to bar_attribute; as far as the optimizer is concerned, it is now a dead variable. Whatever register it occupied can be reused for something else.

Let's assume our garbage collector is conservative only w.r.t. stack scanning. Heap objects are traced precisely. We are not scanning every malloc object in existence, in other words, and so, the bar_attribute is not visible to the garbage collector.

Once we call create_heap_object(foo_type, foo), the foo_object structure becomes hooked up to a garbage-collected heap object, and then it is visible to the garbage collector. The foo_type has garbage collector hooks for traversing the "struct foo_object".

Problem is, create_heap_object calls into the garbage collection module to allocate a new heap object, and that can trigger GC. When GC runs, it can wrongly collect the param object.

This can happen if the function has a caller which itself has let go of the param object, like:

obj caller(obj cparam)
{
obj tparam = transform_somehow(cparam);
obj foo = foo_create(tparam);
return foo;
}

Again, tparam has no next use, and so it can cease to exist in this stack frame the moment that foo_create is called. I.e. the only reference to tparam in the entire program is the activation frame of foo_create. Scanning the stack of caller will not find it.
FWIW phpBB was released in year 2000, just to place that on the timeline.
> traditional reactors are one-off, bespoke projects

TBF they don't have to be, obviously they don't number in the hundreds and site-specific concerns matter (especially as they have a large surface, they matter for SMRs too but the footprint means they matter a lot less). However you have to commit, hard.

During its buildup, France built 54 reactors of just two classes (34 C-class, with 3 variants, and 20 P-class, with 2 variants) in 22 years: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_réacteurs_nucléaires...

Most investors in McDonalds are institutional and thus it's people's retirement and 401k money. That is generally actively used by people, and injected back into the economy.

As long as population or automation continues to increase, profit rates can continue to grow.

McDonalds and other large fast food chains were hit hard recently, not by general inflation but by specific legislation targeting them, forcing wage increases above general minimum wage increases. Pretty unfair by rational standards but everyone hates greedy corporate mcdonalds so easy to pass.

> So responding to a post but not getting responses is the same as responding to slop with a financial incentive? I'm not sure I fully follow

HN doesn’t have financial (?) incentives (but does Quora?). The point was mostly about the quality of content, the type of content, etc. I don’t mean to criticize anyone, I think it’s human behavior.

The root question of my claim is: When you create a (top-level or other) comment, how do you measure if it “contributes to the conversation”?

Most comments probably have zero engagement, while the top few comments drive the conversation. Part of that is the UI driving people towards the top. My claim is that most commenters, just like most quora users, are answering out of their own need to speak. I think the XKCD link describes the behavior well - and my claim is that it also includes sharing personal anecdotes and opinions and similar, not just “correcting misinformation”.

I have my own share of comments with no upvotes and no replies, which I can only assume means no one found it to contribute. I mean no disrespect towards others in similar positions. But does its presence in the database for casual passersby’s mean anything despite that? Despite the goals and intentions, does it matter? Should it just be routed to dev/null to silently fill my desire to speak? Should an LLM just entertain me with artificial conversation for entertainment?
You call me ignorant, but you seem to have very little understanding at all. You say it will only kill more people. That's patently false. There's never been a peace settlement that ended up killing more people than war, because war kills people every single day. Ukraine losing some territory is NOT the end of the world, and I am not sure why some people are so convinced that it is.

> After that, they can renew their attack on Ukraine and widen it to the rest of Europe

There's literally no evidence that's the case, this is fear-mongering on a scale I've never seen before. To the contrary, the reaction of the world to this conflict has already made enough of an impression on any would-be invader that it's a really bad idea to enter a conflict where the West is on the opposing side, and I am very convinced that Putin won't try his hand again. Of course, I cannot prove that to you, but you can't prove anything either, you're using the same "emotional" argument you've accused me of using. Your argument goes down to "we must continue killing people in a war to prove a point". I find that argument abhorrent.

> How many people more will have to die? 10 million?

If you stop the war right now, zero. You're claiming a hypothetical future made up in your head where Russia will still continue attacking others. At least try to consider that that may not happen? Consider that Russia knows very well it will suffer for decades from mistrust by the West, by sanctions and by losing a huge market. It knows all that, why would it want to make things even worse? This argument by some of the Western media just doesn't make sense, try to think about it rationally!

> Insisting on peace at any cost is purely emotional feel-good response

This is always the same argument used most war-mongering people in history, it's the cause of the death of millions because every war in history started because of someone holding that view. We need to go back to a civilized dialog between nations. You can claim that Putin is the one who broke the peace, and I agree with that, but just trying to continue a big war to make him pay for that mistake seems pitty. In my opinion, fighting any war for any reason is not what a civilized mind would do. There are cases it's unavoidable, but this is NOT one of those. It's avoidable, Putin is open to dialog, don't believe the narrative you've been told. There is room for dialog, the war was almost ended with the peace talks in Belarus... have you forgotten that? Do you know why that didn't stop the war?? Read about it, it was NOT because of Russia.
Europe would use hydrogen for seasonal leveling, not batteries. Vastly superior, even with the much lower round trip efficiency. Europe has petawatt-hours of hydrogen storage capacity in salt formations.

Seems like a psyop to me. The work is important, but not the most important part. Execution is vital, but if you're executing on a shit idea and are not able to reorient plans quickly and deftly, you'll likely end up wasting an enormous amount of time going down the wrong alleys.

A real example is a friend of mine that only sleeps an hour or so every few days. Yes, his work output is fantastic, but his planning, decision-making, and "big picture" foresight are nil.

He is grinding out tried-and-true business models, but is unable to take it to the next level because he simply does not have the creativity, free time, or the wandering mind to make those leaps.

Sure, he makes a very good amount of money, but he's been hit in the past with having to shutter businesses due to completely foreseeable potholes.

When you focus completely on getting to your destination, you never stop and ask yourself if that's really where you need to go.

I will also note that the people that "work" 9 to 9 and so on are very rarely doing non-delegateable work or working on high-intensity "important" problems for the entire duration. That sort of thing is simply impossible, because you lose your consciousness after a short bit, and end up running on intuition and learned movements, i.e. a robot.

There is something to be said about working hard, but there is a lot of nuance lost in most discussions (dare I say, because most people that survived this game did so with a huge dash of luck, and are not cognizant of what really moved the needle).
