There is a common right-wing strawman argument that pretends people/liberals are unwilling to discuss the impact of genetics on human behavior because of potentially uncomfortable conclusions that may be drawn about race, gender or other inborn traits. That's clearly fueling some of the comments you're referring to. That ecosystem of thought tends to be so insular that people from within it can sounds incoherent to people outside of it.
I’m not sure of anything TBH, mostly chatting about what I’ve heard from others. My doc told me cold brew is lower acidity, and googling I get the same answer, but yeah I have no idea about whether the extraction or concentration is a fair comparison. I’m interested in any rigorous measurements.

solar power / RTGs could power such effort. Digging shelters could be done by unmanned missions before the manned missions would arrive.
I agree, it has been fairly well known to disable Nagle's Algorithm in HFT/low latency trading circles for quite some time now (like > 15 years). It's one of the first things I look for.

What about the opposite, disable delayed acks.

The problem is the pathological behavior when tinygram prevention interacts with delayed acks. There is an exposed option to turn off tinygram prevention(TCP_NODELAY), how would you tun off delayed acks instead? Say if you wanted to benchmark all four combinations and see what works best.

doing a little research I found:

linux has the TCP_QUICKACK socket option but you have to set it every time you receive.
there is also /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_delack_min and /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ato_min

freebsd has net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack
and net.inet.tcp.delacktime
Does anyone know why the blur effect always takes so much power? Is there not a way to use the GPU, or is the problem something else entirely?
The people who profit from all this are mostly not those who can claim that it is their own creative work.
A huge chunk of EV emissions is in the dirty and expensive mining/refining process of Li-ion.

Lifetime emissions are the best way to measure the difference from an "upfront" emissions (like a Li-ion battery) vs an "over time" emissions (like a Hybrid engine).

Information is Beautiful Awards 2023: The Winners
Perhaps the low hanging fruits in this era of technology/software landscape have been poached. However, I can find hundreds of problems just in the realm of software architecture and infrastructure management that need to be addressed and improved.

Spend a decade in any industry and you will see the gaps more clearly.
The absolutely critical thing is to have checked every alternative when dealing with a sum type value. This is hard to do with macros, though not impossible (basically you'd need a macro to start a matching context and which introduces a variable in which to keep track of all the alternatives checked, then you need to arrange for the end of the matching context to check that all alternatives were checked).
It is interesting seeing the comments here, the comments from adopters is there is a lot of value but it taking time to get up to speed. Those new to temporal a lot of questions seeking understanding.

I have spent a lot of time in the adjacent space of event driven systems and there, like here, it seems like some of the biggest challenge is just education.

I wouldn't say that EDA or workflow based systems are preferable to traditional API services with DBs, just that the space they occupy in the industry is so large that I think it is really really hard if you to introducing any different paradigms, even when you focus on domains where API services aren't a great fit (like here with long running, complex operations).

My point with this comment is simply that I think if you are trying to build anything that does things differently, developer education is as important or even more important than design and architecture, but often not considered because those building these systems are already so deep into it that they can't approach the problem as an outsider.
My opinion is to use a dual structure which is how I had considered in my operating system design: a signed 64-bit (or possibly longer) number of seconds, and a 32-bit number of nanoseconds (which is not always present; sometimes the precision of nanoseconds is unknown or unnecessary, so it would be omitted). There are then separate subtypes of timestamps, such as UTC (which allows the number of nanoseconds to exceed one billion) and SI (which does not allow the number of nanoseconds to exceed one billion). Which is appropriate depends on the application.
As much as "clickbait" is derided, you still need to get people to actually look at your content for it to have any impact. I don't think I'd have read it if the title were more tame/more accurate to the content.
It's crazy to me that we even need to explain the difference between variation in height and a non-functional organ. I don't know if people are just so open minded that their brains fell out, or if it's some new idea where everyone gets their own personal perception of reality and nothing is real, maaan.
TFA gets pattern matching.

The critical thing is that the compiler (or macro system) needs to check that you've checked all the alternatives.
Subscriptions are hard to cancel and easy to forget by design
I don't really understand this article. "The new California charge will be $24 for most customers, but lower income households, who already qualify for discounted electric rates, will see fees of either $6 or $12.". What? Is this like a surcharge of some kind on top of a regular use charge? The average electric bill in NYS is $230 a month, in California it's $220. So I don't really understand the context for this article.
It's also illegal in any jurisdictions that require advertisements to be clearly labelled.
And this logic is how folks convince themselves that ball players are doing trigonometry when playing. It is just wrong.

You can /model/ it that way. But you are making a symbolic model to justify how a solution is reached.

Now, it can be frustrating to consider that this model could produce an agent that is better at the ball game than the players. But it is silly to think that means you have mirrored them.
>Wealth is hard to come by, but income is much more available.

Income is a completely different thing than wealth and those two are not always directly correlated. You can have a good income but not accumulate much wealth because all is bein eaten away by taxes and a high CoL, and you can also have a low income but still decent wealth from an inheritance for example.

And the original claim was that wealth gets lost between generations by the majority of people which I find dubious.

I disagree strongly. For the two two languages I can read the machine translations are quite good. I wouldn't count on it to faithfully render poetry or subtle elements in literature, but it's great for news articles or reading a form post.

For generating alternative prose, what I mean is using a prompt like: given this sentence/paragraph give me 3 alternatives that capture a particular mood/theme/style. Doing that is a great way to try to rewrite flat or repetitive prose or to shake up a bit of writer's block. It's excellent for turning some strung together facts into an email that I can quickly edit into my own voice a bit then send. You may not find that valuable, but I assure you that other people do.

Summaries also work pretty well in my experience and for my purposes. I don't need 100% perfection for every big document I come across sometimes I need a paragraph that hits the main idea(s) It's good enough for that and why wouldn't a text prediction tool be good at that?
It's disappointing to see a well made argument like yours downvoted on HN.

Downvoting is meant for text that detracts from the conversation. Not as a tool for suppressing well made arguments one disagrees with.
Further along: affine types, refinement types, formally verified preconditions/postconditions, maybe even dependent types.

This is awesome. What are your thoughts on Office365 tools and Muddy? We don't use Google docs and would love to have a similar experience. That said, I could probably manage certain teams to move away from our MSFT reliance with this flow.

Really excited to try this out and follow along.
amazingly valuable comment, thanks!
I made the mistake of looking at the gallery. NSFW.
There is no portable way to define structure alignment and padding in C. Your options are to make assumptions about how structs are aligned for a specific ABI, but which could be different on other ABIs or architectures resulting in broken code. Or to use compiler extensions to force packing which will make the alignment deterministic, but which could still blow up on other architectures if the alignment you used isn't valid on that architecture.

In some cases you could manually pad your structs to satisfy lowest common denominator architecture requirements, and use compiler extensions mark them as packed (which should be a noop on the architectures you've considered), if the protocol padding/alignment is compatible with those requirements. But the code still theoretically could break on ABIs you didn't consider.

Manually packing and unpacking bytes is the safest way to do things in production.
> how do you actually create a self sustaining Martian economy? I've never heard a realistic answer for this.

What would a realistic answer even look like? I imagine that since nothing like jump-starting an economy ex nihilo on a cold, desert planet has been done before, any proposal at all would sound wildly unrealistic.

I only ever see this speak from people on the sending end of marketing campaigns. I can't think of the last time I saw someone say anything positive about corporate content. Personally, I go out of my way to not buy anything that I see marketed towards me.
For Tesla specifically its definitely a lot of short term financial engineering by elon to please investors.

The people that work at Tesla have a cult-like culture, they will work crazy hard, pick up extra shifts, whatever to backfill. Its part of the culture.
Even if today’s situation would still favor fossil fuels, in the long term I have zero doubts about battery win.

They are improving significantly every year: density increase which allows weight and volume reduction or longer range; cheaper and less contaminant materials are used for still evolving LFP and sodium batteries; Electric engines without rare earths are also appearing; loading charge from only renewable sources will be the norm; production escalation will reduce pollution per manufactured unit; recycling processes will appear
The question is how such a model performs proportionate to token utilization.
That's occurring because you're giving it weak prompts, like I said. GPT4 has been trained to do things like chain of thought by default, where as you have to tell Llama/Claude to do some of that stuff. If you update your prompts to suggest reasoning strategies and tell it to perform some chain of thought before hand the difference between models should disappear.
One time for me it was: the glass was dirty.

Some router near a construction site had dust settle into the gap between the laser and the fiber, and it attenuated the signal enough to see 40-50% packet loss.

We figured out where the loss was and had our NOC email the relevant transit provider. A day later we got an email back from the tech they dispatched with the story.

I wonder if it would work on WSL.
Apps can always misbehave, you never know what people implement, and you don't always have source code to patch. I don't think the role of the OS is to let the apps do whatever they wish, but it should give the possibility of doing it if it's needed. So I'd rather say, if you know you're properly doing things and you're latency sensitive, just TCP_NODELAY on all your sockets and you're fine, and nobody will blame you about doing it.
In case you're serious, nobody is suggesting launching a water-cooled reactor to Mars. Between the idiot ends of the power-source spectrum bounded by, on one end, a U.S. Navy PWR and, on the other end, Martian Aramco, we have the reasonable options of solar power, batteries, RTGs and fission-powered Stirling engines [1][2].

It will, but with the caveat that hearing with a cochlear implant is (at least at current technology levels), inferior to hearing with an actual cochlea. So there’s a balancing act where they want to continue having me hear with my cochlea as long as possible. The other problem is that with a CI, I have no hearing at all without the receiver which means that I would be completely deaf while swimming, showering, etc. while I have at least some hearing without my hearing aids right now (although I had an ear infection in December which left me completely deaf for a week. It was a bit startling how much people were unwilling to engage in the smallest adaptations for me—I found how to set up live transcriptions on my phone and I remember the cashier at the grocery store being unwilling to use that so I could see what she was saying).
Something interesting to me is I have an 8 month old son. Everyone around me says he looks just like me. To me, he doesn't look like anyone in particular at all.
Cannabis comes in many shapes and forms and it can absolutely help relieve anxiety. You need to ingest or smoke a high CBD strain with low THC.

I generally buy the legal CBD stuff I can get here and mix it with street weed which is generally high on THC and it does wonders to relieve my anxiety and stress. Smoking CBD itself is great but has a much more limited effect, in my experience.
Curious to give this a try, how would you compare it to Arc? I used Arc for a while but eventually just ditched it for going back to chrome

(Also, landing page nit, but the kerning on the H1 is pretty wide, and the kerning in the wordmark is a bit tight IMO.)
There are lots of examples. Phonemes for language and are a very common example of things that can't be learned easily or at all later in life.

But huge changes like a major color might overcome that. Humans learn to recognize new major objects they've never seen before.
I'm the author/maintainer for logmerger, a side-by-side log file viewer built using the Python `textual` TUI framework. Side-by-side view merges log files into a single vertical timeline (an inline view can also be selected). `textual` implements horizontal/vertical scroll control and mouse actions, so viewing 3 or 4 log files side-by side is not difficult. Auto-detects various common timestamp formats, plus PCAP file support (to merge network packet captures with your client and/or server logs).

What makes it a good experience? When I look at Amtrak is more expensive than flying, slower than renting a car and driving for the same money.
I think longer trains have more to do with operational costs than not wanting to pull onto a siding. That's just a nice bonus for them.
Really surprised this wasn't anticipated when they implemented those rules though.
Isn't life in general effectively a solved problem by now? What more focus does it need?
The complication with the linux syscall interface is that it turns the worse is better up to 11. Like setuid works on a per thread basis, which is seriously not what you want, so every program/runtime must do this fun little thread stop and start and thunk dance.
> That certainly ties something that makes syscalls to a narrow range of kernel versions

I don't think that's right, wouldn't it be the earliest kernel supporting that call and onwards? The Linux ABI intentionally never breaks userland.
ML inference should cost a lot more to run than typical SaaS too... that said, I'd pay more than $20/mo for access to GPT4 or Claude 3. It is worth at least $75/mo to me. I pay for both right now just in case one is better than the other for a certain task (though I might drop GPT soon).
(With the live transcription feature, I was actually able to engage in normal-ish telephone conversations, maybe even a little more effective than I can with using the audio.)
Does his being "clear" about his reasons for supporting the Gaza operation (or the fact that he's not primarily in it for the money) give him a pass?
Wow. This is the first time in hearing about the inverse hyperbolic sine scale. I wonder if it's lesser known simply because many kinds of real-world underlying data that needs logarithmic scales simply don't have zeroes or negative values? For example we might be plotting some data that actually comes from an underlying exponential distribution?
Where x approaches negative infinity
I want to know why the hate for 0675.
So when is the author’s guild going to realize that you can pretrain a base model on public domain material and then once it’s distributed anyone can fine tune it on whatever books they want to have their own version that writes in the style of X? On commodity GPUs no less. In 5 years when the current gen GPUs are cheap and there are hundreds of one click fine tuning apps this will seem like an absurd waste of time.
Get in your kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
So do I, but I with there was a new one TCP_RTTDELAY. It would take a byte that would be what 128th of RTT you want to use for Nagle instead of one RTT or full* buffer. 0 would be the default, behaving as you and I prefer.

* "Given the vast amount of work a modern server can do in even a few hundred microseconds, delaying sending data for even one RTT isn’t clearly a win."

I don't think that's such an issue anymore either, given that the server produces so much data it fills the output buffer quickly anyway, the data is then immediately sent before the delay runs its course.
Astronomy is cool too, nothing anchors you back in reality like realizing how absolutely microscopic and insignificant our entire mankind's existence was and is.

Solid perspective and understanding of bigger picture is important, then nothing can surprise you much.
The study after study studies seem to only look at greenhouse gas emissions, not the full life cycle retirement costs of lithium and other toxic elements.
???? I would imagine the average surgeon is much happier with their compensation than the average DoorDasher. It's a reliable fixed-rate salary vs wondering if you'll get enough $3 tips to make rent this month.
I think solar's the far more likely option, yes. Cheap, light, low-maintenance. Maybe fuel cells for night.

RTGs aren't gonna power a good-sized base; they're a few hundred watts at best.

edit: I very much hope Kilopower pans out.
No it's not. Manufacturing a battery creates 2-5 tons of CO2 emissions, which is about 1 year's worth of emissions from a gasoline car.

And Lithium is a small fraction of those 5 tons from the battery.

You need to specify a perspective to write code from (e.g. software architect who values maintainability and extensibility over performance or code terseness), and prompt models to use the most idiomatic or correct technique. GPT4 is tuned to avoid some of this but it will improve answers there as well.
Those who suddenly got eyesight or hearing would call us gods in a good way.

> I like the framing that technology is obligate. It doesn't matter whether you've built a machine that will transform the world into paperclips, sowing misery on its path and decimating the community of life. Even if you refuse to use it, someone will, because it gives short term benefits.

Is that some idea you got from Daniel Schmachtenberger? Literally the old reference I can find on the web to "technology is obligate" is https://www.resilience.org/stories/2022-07-05/the-ride-of-ou..., which attributes it to him?

Anyway, I'm skeptical. For one, that seems to assume an anarchic social order, where anyone can make any choice they like (externalities be damned) and no one can stop them. That doesn't describe our world except maybe, sometimes, at the nation-state level between great powers.

Secondly, I think embracing that idea would mainly serve to create a permission structure for "techbros" (for lack of a better term), to pursue whatever harmful technology they have the impulse to and reject any personal responsibility for their actions or the harm they cause (e.g. exactly "It's ok for me to hurt you, because if I don't someone else will, so it's inevitable and quit complaining").
Can you expand on this a bit? I am curious. Because most of the time people talk mostly about the fossil fuel impact (which will be greatly reduced in our lifetimes).

But are you confirming my guess, that we would no longer be able to say cars are bad on environmental grounds?
