I actually have a really hard time just reading source code to understand it.

Even if it's heavily commented, I learn better from debate, trade off analysis, or failure analysis.

To put it simply, I like argue and break things.
This is very cool. I'm very interested in using ESP32 for MIDI/Audio/Synth projects, I have one of my own on the go: https://doug.lon.dev/fourays ;)

I hope to get confident in doing PCB layouts in KiCAD and manufacturing my own synth modules on a budget. I'm currently a bit stuck on how to get the front panels designed and manufactured, and coupling that with the correct "UI" hardware (pots, buttons, sockets) in order to make the thing assemble correctly.
I had this precise MO happen to me in Romania, only I got a "cancellation" message at about midnight the evening before. Plumbing issues. "We have another property that is much better instead."

I am not a trusting soul, especially at midnight, so I just said fuck you Rus, ima get on the line to AirBnB. And amazingly they made us whole, and after a night of interaction between an AirBnB droid, and apparently a couple of unconnected hosts in Bucharest, by 9AM I had another rental, not too bad in fact. This was 2018, does AirBnB still do that?

Also non-US countries' cellular networks for the win, a lot of communication happened the next day while I was on a bus heading toward Bucharest. Almost as good as Mexico in fact. Which is where I'm going next month. However I'm suspicious these days so my next AirBnB I have already stayed with that host before.

Anyway as I was messaging with the AirBnB repair droid all night, the Rus kept coming back and I decided to have some fun, and boy howdy did he get mad. I trolled him intelligently, good and hard, apparently they don't get much pushback. I got to thinking though, maybe not a good idea to troll the scammer hard as I'm about to inject into a city I don't know that well? Spicy!

Sadly AirBnB edited that message thread quite savagely, very annoying when I went back to enjoy the exchange later on.

I just remembered that I had the last minute cancel thing happen to me in Chicago too! Only the host didn't do the divert to the "better" apartment bit, and it was 2 days before, so I was able to find another rental.
Is a) actually clear at this time? My impression is that there are some questions about methane levels, but I don't know if sources of them are clear given that humans activity also causes a lot of methane emissions. But yes, apparently we also just had the largest ever recorded jump in CO2 levels at 4.7ppm year-over-year and the sea surface temperature data over the last year is sobering.
The original manga delivers it better because...

... Shirow filled in gaps between panels with tons and tons of notes, discussing details, sometimes pointing to source material, etc.

One of the worst things about it is that none of the GitS 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 come with bibliography section - they need it.
I don't know about your Lenovo and how your particular workload is handled by Windows.

And I agree that in pure performance, the Apple Silicon Macs will kill it; however, I am really skeptical that an 8GB model would give you a better experience overall.
Faster for long compute operations sure, but then you have to deal with all the small slowdown from constant swapping. Unless you stick to a very small amounts of apps and very small amounts of tabs at the same time (which is rather limiting) I don't know how you do it.
I don't want to call you a liar but maybe you are emotionally attached (just like I am sometimes) to the device to realize it, or maybe the various advantages of the Mac make you ignore the serious limitations that come with it.

Everyone has their own sets of tradeoffs but my argument is that you can deal with the 8GB Apple Silicon devices you are very likely to be well served by a much cheaper device anyway (like half as cheap).
I have no idea why anyone would stay at an Airbnb. The lack of regulation alone makes it a no-go for me. There’s so much that can go wrong, and you have literally no recourse.
Yep, thats the other horrible part of this ad.

Apple is essentially saying 'Don't worry about learning to play an instrument, use an iPad instead!' which is just disgusting. The modern world has lost too much dicipline and creativity already. It doesnt need more people being encouraged to take the lazy option.
Even at 8 digits people could still use their birthdays. I think there's a tradeoff between PIN size and fraction of the population that will feel comfortable picking a number with no significance. I'd speculate that in a world where every PIN has to be 16 digits that almost everyone would just use 2 or 4 concatenated dates.
China still builds more coal power, but they intend to use it only as a backup for when renewables are not producing enough. The YouTube channel Just Have a Think did a video on China's energy future recently, highly recommend checking it out (sorry for not linking directly, writing on my phone).
Thanks! Let's collab. We should start a "primes investigation" github repo!!!! :)
“What’s a computer?” Should count as one too. But back then we just scoffed at the idea that an iPad can replace a computer. Now somehow we are offended or even terrified by the same absurdity that an iPad can replace a real musical instrument.
Wouldn’t it have been easier to just stay in a reputable hotel?
> How does posix know it’s a leap second? It needs to know one way or another.

Unlike with TAI it does not need to know. The time on the wall is leap seconds resolved (ignore for a second how it is done). Whereas TAI keeps ticking onwards without regard of them, UTC has them cleaned up. So if your end result is that you want to show a time in local time with TAI you need to know where all the leap seconds happened. With UTC you do not need to, you will have re-synchronized your clock plenty of times since to some time source which itself has resolved the leap seconds. You do not need NTP for this.

Even if you manually set your time once a year, you will use a reference source that has already dealt with the leap seconds. Since leap seconds are basically hidden historically too (they do not appear) you are good. You can always divide the seconds since 1970 down and you can pinpoint any date in the past without having to do complex leap seconds math.
I could imagine that one uses the derivative here. If x+iy and x-iy are complex roots, and y is really small, then the derivative at x should be small as well (if y = 0, you have a double zero, so p'(x)=0). So if p'(x) is far away from zero, you have a single real zero. And I guess double zeroes don't really happen with random coefficients.
PRetty much. I have a Android Tablet. The only way I could use for work was to SSH into my server.

But using nvim all the time have its limitations. Sometimes you need an IDE.

So I just give up, and now is collecting dust.
It isn't victim culture to not like an advert.

Apple's customers don't like the advert. There's not point in Apple arguing with them. Its like trying to argue with someone about whether a joke is funny. If they didn't laugh the first time, having a debate about it just makes it worse.
> As for formulas: no, there is no GENERAL formula for the quintic polynomial or higher.

Note that there is no general formula for quintics (and higher) in radicals.

But it is a bit arbitrary to draw the line there. There is also no 'general formula' using basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) that gives roots for x^2 = 2.

However it is quite useful to be able to talk about those roots, so we added a dedicated symbol for them (sqrt), and more generally extended the definition of exponentiation to fractional powers.

If it were generally useful to talk about the roots of quintics we also would've added common notation for their roots.
I haven't used them since 2012. It's unlikely I will use them again.
This is an extraordinarily naive view.

No one is stopping anyone from making marble sculpture on the level of the Greeks or Romans either. It has probably never been easier for the average person to take up sculpture.

When a culture stops valuing an artistic medium the output in that medium is going to tend towards irrelevance.
How could that even work to not affect one of the most popular sites whatsoever?
Reminds me of the phrase OpenAI used in their recent Model Spec release - to make the user feel heard[0]. Your story is exactly what it means in modern customer support - making the complainers "feel heard", so they go away, but remain customers.

This is a pretty ahistorical take, especially considering the stated goal of "SDI" was to develop the ability to destroy warheads during flight, with most of the research projects seemingly focused on the terminal phase.

There is no reason to think "SDI was a ruse to make USSR overspend".

The Soviet Union experienced a period of liberalization prior to its "parade of sovereignties". Its citizens demanded freedom and would eventually obtain some of it.

Who is owner of the logicola name? Is it trademarked and do you have permission from the publisher/family of the original author?

Also, on the front page there is a link to logicola.com, which is a typo, I think.

Finally, I'm using ff on windows with a screen reader and when I press the chapters button on the web page, absolutely nothing happens, so it is not clear how I'm supposed to test the website.
> Saying that is being overly dramatic.

...In your opinion.
I hoped that google would add a way to chat on websites with likeminded people in their browser and to merge it somehow with groups and search history.

It's more organic than tweeter/X and something that should be built-in part of web IMO.

The problem is probably that without accounts you can't fight with bots easily

> They're also very poor, with a gdp per capita (before the war) of 1/3rd of Russia's.

It is the other way around. Ukraine has a GDP per capita that is (prewar) 3 times that of Russia's.
Murex has had job control support for literally years too.

There’s actually a lot of parallels between murex and Elvish. Both projects started around the same time, both written on Go. Both support structured data and smart data types.

The syntax differs a little between them two but concept wise they’re similar in a number of ways. I as (project author) just don’t do a particularly good job promoting murex. In part because I’d never want to force my own shell preferences onto others.

But It’s good that there’s so much choice these days and people aren’t stuck with the archaic decisions of the 70s
It’s good that there is some progress, my only gripe is that Android/ios was in a better shape a decade ago.

Not really. Astronomical dusk and dawn are different than civil dusk or dawn, you'd normally skip an hour or so after sunset and before sunrise anyway.

No, I'm not, I'm using cooled CMOS sensors. CCD is ancient tech these days.
> The problem is the lack of stability not wealth

Children are resilient. Hell, we've raised children through terrible wars and famines. Being born into a relatively peaceful era and the wealthiest time in history is about as stable as it gets.

You may have a point that potential parents are putting pressure on themselves to be the perfect soccer mom and dads, carting their kids around in their Escalades, and then returning home to sleep in their mansions, and if they end up anywhere short of that they are not worthy of having children. But that's just part of the fashion du jour. Children don't need or even care for any of that.

> I did read that somebody suggesting that it's not cost but density that reduces population fertility.

I don't think anyone would seriously suggest that cost is a factor. Sure, there is that study that suggests it costs ~$10,000-20,000+ per year to raise a child, but when you look closely the cost is for things like buying a bigger house. You don't need a bigger house to raise children. Look at what American settlers raised children in: Tiny, single room log cabins. And they had, on average, eight children living in them!

The density suggestion is interesting, although I'm not sure it tracks. For example, the least dense US states, Maine and Vermont with only ~35% urbanization, have lower fertility than New York and California with ~90% urbanization. I expect what was noticed is merely correlationary as urbanization and the general ability to opt to not have children are both not realistic until a society reaches a certain level of wealth. In other words, the societies that are rich enough to opt to have few children are also more likely to be urbanized.

But humans are social creatures. And it hasn't been socially acceptable to have children in the modern age, at least not until you are into your 30s, at which point go ahead, society gives the green light (It will even start to cry: "Why haven't you had children yet???") – but by then, good luck having more than approximately one child before biology puts an end to the party.
> It is not in Turkey

Hence why I called out Eastern Europe and MENA, though Turks who can afford it do try to target the US instead.

For example, all of Erdogan's kids attended IU Bloomington for undergrad and grad school instead of German programs like LMU or TUM, and the Koç family (the family that controls the Turkish economy) sent most of their kids to Stanford, JHU, and Brown.

> I met with a brain surgeon from South Korea who moved to Germany, because he just wanted to live in the centre of the Europe so he can travel around easily

Ofc, yet the largest Korean diaspora in the West is in America, and the 2nd largest in Canada.

> you get a relocation budget from your employer.

In tech we're lucky we have a market that pays so highly for our skills, but other industries don't pay as much or require a significant amount of retraining, and if you're bringing a family, as plenty of immigrants do, you don't want to live in crummy neighborhood, so you need a lot of money to have a safety net.
I've been using HLS recently and from my understanding, all you need is `v++`.

If we have polynomial with integer coefficients, we can bound the largest and smallest root by an expression that is maximum of abs. value of coefficients to some power. There should be similar bounds for the smallest imaginary value a root can have. If your polynomial have real numbers for coefficients having a formula doesn't help - we have the same problem of being not able to tell if number is equal zero. For example in the quadratic formula, we can have discriminant equal minus epsilon. If epsilon was zero there is no imaginary root but if it isn't we have an imaginary root.
Article's far-too-long-for-HN Subtitle:

> New research suggests that medieval Icelanders were scavenging and likely even hunting blue whales long before industrial whaling technology
This ad feels unnerving for, I think, non-obvious reasons, beyond just the raw destruction of artistic tools.

In music and sound effects from horror genres and other "scary" things, playing very high pitches with very low pitches makes us anxious - our brains are wired to perceive high pitches as safe and low pitches as menacing[1]. If they're both happening at the same time, our brain gets stuck trying to figure out WTF IS GOING ON, which makes us anxious.

A similar thing happens with this ad: cheerful music while apparently senseless destruction (the reveal doesn't happen until the end) is taking place. IIRC one of the Fallout games did this too - post-fallout world but upbeat country music as the theme? The gasoline fight scene in Zoolander. Etc, etc.

Anyway, these kinds of juxtapositions are SUPPOSED to make our brains feel uncomfortable. I imagine this was interpreted by the ad people as "edgy" or "surprising" or "innovative". But it's still going to make people who aren't sensitised to it feel uncomfortable.

Anyway just my take.

THESE are the sort of comments I come to HN for, and I am just drinking it up.
Why do I think a distilled essence of his experiences is a gallon jug of urine from a very dehydrated diabetic asparagus enthusiast that’s sat on a sunny windowsill for one year?
I didn’t get asked if I wanted to become a manager. It just happened because my boss moved overseas to head up a new team and I was made team leader amongst my peers. A year later I was given the job title Engineering Manager to acknowledge the work I was doing. I’m now an Engineering Manager at a different company and getting paid more than I would be as an individual contributor.
I have never stayed in an Airbnb and never will. There is a consistency to chain hotels I have come to appreciate very much.
> It is uncertain when it went from purple to red, but it's likely a practical reason: when going outside you don't wear slippers but leather boots, which were very easy to get in a red color, purple? Not really. You can easily find purple used anywhere in clothing, but not shoes.

Wasn't the point of regal colours that they were scarce/expensive?
I liked the Ad. Bunch of snowflakes who got offended by it.
> How do those of you who feel so strongly about this ad get through daily life?

Whilst I didn't feel a great deal watching the video, this statement is very presumptive.

Reversed: How does one get through daily life _not_ feeling so strongly about things?

Should perhaps we, those who didn't feel a great deal here, not reflect on whether we might be feeling as much of life as we could, empathise more deeply, care about broader things, consider life as more than ration or reason?

It didn't bother me one way or another, but I also didn't assume anything. I can imagine a life far more rich just by feeling more, seeing more colours in the same palette, tasting more when eating food, and feeling so much more when just experiencing life... perhaps for all the benefit of feeling more, there's just the sharper edge that sometimes you feel more about something like an Apple advert.
Only stay in properties that are inspected and licensed by the local licensing authority. Ya know, hotels.
It's not as different as the marketing would like you to think. In fact, for the low-end models even the bandwidth/speed isn't as big of a deal as they make it out to be, especially considering that bandwidth has to be shared for the GPU needs.

And if you go up in specs the bandwidth of Apple silicon has to be compared to the bandwidth of a combo with dedicated GPU. The bandwidth of dedicated GPUs is very high and usually higher than what Apple Silicon gives you if you consider the RAM bandwidth for the CPU.

It's a bit more complicated but that's marketing for you. When it comes to speed Apple RAM isn't faster than what can be found in high-end laptops (or desktops for that matter).
I understand we do these things because we find enjoyment in them. But none of these instruments and gadgets are even going extinct. There might be real shifts happening in our culture but at the end of the day this is just an ad. The emotional baggage that causes someone to be hurt by this should probably be handled at a personal level.

And thanks for sharing your thoughts. There isn't anything you said I'd disagree with. My original point was quite simple: people shouldn't be so soft. Although, I guess that's not really helpful and me saying that won't flip a switch in someone's head.
Strong emotional reaction to anything is pretty much the norm nowadays.

However, i feel like apple's ad made people visualize a true deep concern about the future of art (and humanity) with regards to the recent advancements of AI. The fact that the number 1 consumer hardware company in the world blatantly acknowledge the fact that computers are going to generate every piece of content automatically in the future is quite troubling. (of course, that's probably not exactly what they meant, as someone will have to push that "generate" button on the ipad, at some point).
I agree that one can see the ad as depicting "destruction of human experience". This does not mean that my day is ruined after viewing the ad. Disliking the ad and calling it what it is does not mean one is not tough.
You help me feel sane. People, it is a commercial. Nothing more. Don't get your panties in a bundle. If you don't like it, change the channel, don't buy their product, go outside on a hike. The things people get upset about today is fascinating. GO OUTSIDE
Even if you disagree, I would think that the volume or strength of the comments would teach you something about the situation. Instead, it’s the children who are wrong.
no kidding. there's a bunch of stuff going on in teh world (some of which risk getting me downvoted if I mention them) that are way more distressing. its not like they destroyed anything truly sacred or one of a kind.
Marketing is a corporate behavior that is tied to sales, brand equity, expansion, product innovation, and financial performance. Criticizing it is as legitimate as criticizing accounting practices or device capabilities.
It was clear to me that that's what they wanted to express but their chosen visuals didn't convey that well at all. Expanding outwards from the iPad would have made a lot more sense.
Rock musicians destroying guitars and amps used to be common, both on videoclips and live.
What makes those celebrities a better source of indignation?
We are in a age where most interactions are supercharged with melodramatic theatrics.

Not to dunk too much on the artistic community, but when it comes to these 4 day dramas all the over the top adjectives are applied. Very eloquent but the feelings most of the time aren't even real. It's a performance.
Besides which it seems to me that Apple has never really been against having a single giant corporation controlling everything you can see, do and say, they were just against that corporation not being Apple.
Not trying to knock Raytheon, those are useful technologies, but those sometimes work against some targets (mostly on clean test ranges) and are not even close to a complete solution. Reliably detecting and tracking drones is a very hard problem.
