Assuming you spend 8 hours a day working and 8 hours a day sleeping, that leaves 8 hours a day to relax.

As long as you're going to spend 8 hours per day relaxing, why not learn something new along the way? If you're going to have fun while learning -- if it's not something you have to force yourself to do -- that's even better right?

Sure, this learning will come in the form of lots of little bits and pieces. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Imagine going super deep into a single subject, then eventually realizing that subject isn't even useful.

Plus, I've found that if I try to do intensive single-subject learning, it begins to feel like work anyways. Learning little bits and pieces seems less taxing for my brain, and is arguably better from a spaced-repetition point of view too.

The piece seems to mainly rest on a single study which is here: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3491102.3501899 Based on a quick skim, that study didn't actually measure retention of info from social media. Even if it did, the right way to measure retention would not be to ask "Do you remember what you read this past week?" That's not a useful way for your brain to index information. It'd be better to ask someone about the topic of something they read, and see if they had any recollections related to it.

I think many people do use social media in an unhealthy way. Staying up late to follow an online controversy isn't usually smart. But the picture presented in the OP feels oversimplified.

I've tried many times to pull away from social media, but I keep coming back. It's actually kind of hard to find something that's: more relaxing, more edifying, more fun, and doesn't get old after 8 hours. I'm open to suggestions!

Oh, I got a good neurologist back in Hungary thirty years ago who over two years have sorted what's wrong and set me up and I have been symptom free since 1997 and then I added diabetes T2 on top of a couple years back, all of this is known. That's not the problem, thanks.
I'm not sure I understand. Imagine a very small 6-bit float, with 1 bit sign, 2 bits exponent, and 3 bits mantissa. The interval [010000, 010111] contains the numbers 2, 2.25, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.75.

But! These numbers' base two logarithms imply mantissae of

- .0000000 (equal to the float 000)

- .0010101 (not equal to the float 001)

- .0101001 (not equal to the float 010)

- .0111010 (not equal to the float 011)

- .1001010 (not equal to the float 100)

- .1011001 (not equal to the float 101)

- .1100111 (not equal to the float 110)

- .1110100 (not equal to the float 111)

because the floats in the [2,4) interval are linearly spaced, whereas the corresponding logarithms are not. In other words, the floats are a piecewise linear approximation of the logarithm – just as the article says.

That's not really what happens. Most Rust code actually does whatever is easiest to get the borrow checker to stop complaining, including extending lifetime beyond the scope that is necessary, and putting reference counting everywhere.
That shouldn’t be the customers expectation - they have paid $40,000 for a car, they should expect it to be fixed as quickly as any other $40,000 car if it breaks.

If anything, as a smaller company you should be able to offer better customer service (‘do things that can’t scale’). I.E. at fiskers scale you could do this with a couple of shelving units and one person looking after the ‘spares’ department who also communicates directly to the customer.

The fact that they aren’t all over this does show either a lack of detail, a lack of cash, a lack of resource, or a combination of all three.
Good to know, maybe I should look again... thanks
They're still available but they only seem to make them for professional cleaners (hotels etc) in europe. And they get big and you probably don't want them in your home.
So all this time and effort is just to maximise the probability of success. Despite all this, a fucking monsoon hits an hour before your event. Nobody is coming and you'd be there, at the venue, all alone with several tables connected... The most miserable position.

And I'm not even started with actually hosting the event, with different personalities, mix between people who know each other and those who don't. You know how 3's a crowd? Well, a crowd becomes a separated tribe in meetups and tend only to really interact between each other...

Bruh, the entire point of the Meetup is to meet OTHER people. They could just go out for lunch if they only wanted to chill by themselves. So part of the hosting game is integrating everyone together, whether it's the solo, couple or group. And make sure there's no flame wars as people believe in different shit and have wildly different reactions to what's said.

You know the book, how to make friends and influence people. Need another edition for how to meet up and host an event without everything burning up!

Bash is there purely for historical reasons. And it sucks.

That schema can and will help editors to validate and autocomplete things on the fly, and can also serve as a reference for what actual data the config accepts.
In percentage terms please, and please explicitly acknowledge opinions as such.

Sorry for ruining a good story (did you even notice you didn't answer the question, but instead posted a bunch of stories...how do you think these things work), but the topic and specific nature of the accusations (misinformation) demands it.
I just had a look and the comparison website I use says there are 113 motherboards that support 128GB or more memory for AM5. (in my local market. so the US probably has even more)

128GB isn't exactly a lot, so that would surprise me if it wasnt supported.
The problem is that they are microservices in name only. Where a unix utility does a few hundred or a thousand lines of C code for its entirety, a microservice will depend on a complex software stack with a web server, an interpreter, an interface with a database, and so on.

It's easy to forget this complexity, but it comes at a cost in terms of performance and, above all, technical debt. The microservice will probably have to be rewritten in 5 years' time because the software stack will be obsolete. Whereas some unix utilities are over 40 years old.
Actually from Zen 4 to Zen 5 there is a little more than one year and a half (supposing that they will indeed go on sale in July), almost matching the AMD announcement done around the launch of Zen 4 that they will shorten the time between generations from 2 years to 1 1/2 years.

AI Agent Paper Review – ChatDev
Reciprocal behaviour is what allows us to get along with other humans and behave pro-socially.
But I think it’s a bit naive not to recognise that it is still somewhat transactional in nature. There are some situations in which we’re honest about the reciprocal agreement (ie, you provide me with 8hours of work, and in return, I’ll pay you for your efforts) and there are other times where the reciprocal agreement is implied and not specified but still understood (ie, your child is invited to a birthday party at a fancy playland, so you should provide the birthday child with a nice gift - no one ever tells you you have to buy a present, but it’d be socially awkward not to).

The transactional nature of reciprocity is also why I don’t participate in gift giving at Christmas. I hate that the expectation is to show our nearest and dearest we care about them by participating in mindless consumerism. I will spend time with my family, cook dinner with them, do games, be part of the festivities but gifting is not part of the equation.
Definitely not the ones with the bouncy sound..
I tried to use something like this to read a flash on a car’s ECU. I even build a small probe station when the clip finally broke. I ended up having to desolder it. I don’t understand how hackers make in-circuit spi probing work on embedded systems. It always just magically works for them to clip a Pomona on and go. I don’t get it.
GDPs were never the same, soviet union had between 1/3 to 2/3 of US one. It waged absolutely destructive WWII on its land compared to US, and that had massive consequences in economy and demographics for decades.

Only their richness in natural resources kept them above, although it became typical undeveloped country resource curse over time with dictators taking all power and terrorizing population, a tradition well preserved to this day.
Everyone has it, it's part of the ego which is part of being human.
"There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution that works"

I have no idea who said that, but I use it a lot at work when people want to cut corners with the intent to fix it later.

I write reading recommendations for books and articles at the end of each year and have some overlap in interests. Here's my books list from last year (with links to others therein): https://bcmullins.github.io/interesting-books-2023/.

Here's a few books I think you'd be interested in:

Slouching Towards Utopia: An Economic History of the Twentieth Century (2022) by Brad DeLong

>No, this is not a democratic process. People are not voting on these things. A vocal minority with the time and ability to involve themselves in the process ruin things for everyone.

Have you actually talked to American voters? No, mass transit isn't directly on the ballot, but in most places, it's not a popular thing. Americans, by and large, like their cars, and really don't like public transit. The more liberal ones might give it some lip service, but they generally avoid it if they can afford to. More importantly, Americans don't want the changes needed to make it more feasible, namely higher density and a lack of free parking everywhere.

If you don't believe me about American voters, just read the other comments in this discussion.

>It's readily apparent when it comes to things like building housing

Again, people say they want more housing built, but they don't actually want to make the changes needed for this to be done. They don't want to remove zoning restrictions that prevent housing from being built in places where it's really needed to make cities more walkable and make transit work better.

>And more generally, everyone voting only in their narrow self-interest is not "democracy working correctly".

This is absolutely wrong. Democracy isn't some magical thing that produces the best possible result when done the best way. It's a product of the voters and their whims and demands, no matter how stupid or ignorant they may be.

>we live in a society and not everything that society needs to function well will benefit each and every person

If you want a society where people vote outside their narrow self-interest, you need voters who understand this and vote accordingly. If you're assuming most humans are like this, you're sadly mistaken.

>Democracy working correctly does not mean everyone saying "I oppose any public spending that does not directly accrue a benefit to me personally".

Yes, it does, if you have a population of voters who think exactly this way.
Why camera calibration is so important in computer vision
he cameras are used to capture the world around us. But frames are just representations of the world, and the actual relationship between the flat image and the real thing is not always obvious. In order to extract meaningful insights about the real objects from the images, developers and users of computer vision systems need to understand camera characteristics — with the help of the calibration solutions
Notably, there are some passthrough APIs to extend the captive Linux with Windows features.
I think Haskell's Software Transactional Memory has used this novel write-snapshot isolation level for close to two decades.
Did that when I was younger, but with my own code :)

There was an if that didn't need brackets when I wrote it. 6 months later it needed more stuff on a branch but i was tired and in a hurry so I didn't notice adding extra lines needs brackets. New code compiled but wasn't part of the if. Turned a 5 minute fix into 2 days.

Of course, all my ifs have had brackets on both sides since then.

The DAK Industries Catalog is a wild masterpiece of copywriting. One carefully-curated product per page, with no table of specifications or even a price box, just densely information-packed, quirky, well-paced, clever conversational descriptions of each item. Every word is the product of Drew A. Kaplan (whose initials provide DAK its name), a kind of blog in its own time. Cabel Sasser recently wrote a definitive tribute that provides many more details:

Show HN: A New RSS Reader with AI Summary and Immersive Translation
Hey HN,

I’ve always believed that RSS is one of the best ways to gather a lot of quality information, but it does come with its challenges. Managing the volume and diversity of updates from various sources can be tough, and finding relevant content across all feeds can be a hit-or-miss experience.

That’s why I built PoweReader, an app that leverages AI to summarize RSS content. With AI summaries, you can quickly catch up on important updates, filter through vast amounts of information, and focus on what truly matters to you.

Additionally, as a non-native English speaker, I need to read a lot of English content to stay informed. So, I added bilingual translation feature to PoweReader. This feature might be useful for others who want to access content in different languages.

Feel free to share your questions and suggestions. Thanks!
Interesting, so it's mostly in the tool setting! I shall have to see if it is practical to find some way of calibrating my (fairly rubbish!) crimp tool and see if they even keep a setting.
Thanks, Clang looks good, now I need to check how to sort CPUs/systems by the Clang benchmark, no success for now.

I wss doing something in Excel and needed to aggregate some data. I figured there must be some aggregation function. I looked it up and, sure enough, I found DSUM() and DCOUNT().

I spent a few hours finishing my analysis, and then went to someone in the finance team to show them what I had discovered.

They noticed I had many many similar-looking aggregations in a grid, and asked "Why not just use a pivot table?".

My reply: "What's a pivot table?".

Also in the same job I learned the hard way why you should never use OFFSET() if INDEX() will do the job.
Yes there is a lot of similarities in the foundation and the syntax. The end goal is different though as Manifest aims to be a production-ready product: it already comes with the admin panel and will soon include features like authentication, authorization and so on.

> In the same way Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand’s prime ministers
> serve at the King’s pleasure. It’s ceremonial, much like the monarchy itself.

This is incorrect: the British monarchy is not ceremonial. Australia, Britain, Canada and New Zealand were self-governing dominions of the British Empire, with their own parliaments, and each nation still has a governor-general who is nominally approved by the monarch but who is actually selected by the government of each nation from time to time. Hong Kong was a Crown Colony, a.k.a. Overseas Territory, and had a governor who was selected by the British government in London and approved by the monarch. Governors-general and governors are quite different things. Governors-general are the representatives of the monarch and exercise the monarch's reserve powers according to the constitution of the nation. The Hong Kong governor was a colonial governor and had much more power over administration than the governor-general of a dominion.

>They had a full democracy after 1997. That was self determination.

This is incorrect: The creation of a democratically elected administration in Hong Kong was fiercely opposed by the People's Republic of China from 1949 onwards, even threatening violence to prevent it. The last governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten, created a parliament, the Legislative Council, which was partially elected by universal suffrage. The Legislative Council was declared illegitimate by the PRC and was immediately and permanently shut down after the PRC takeover of Hong Kong. The government of Hong Kong since the handover consists entirely of people selected and appointed by Beijing who are all, or mostly all, members of the Chinese Communist Party.
It was my second day in NYC as the new incoming student at Columbia University graduate school. My senior with whom I was staying took me for sightseeing. We got into the subway station and my senior went ahead and I got late while purchasing the tickets. I swiped the card at the "turnstile" and waited for it to move up automatically so I can go ahead. After waiting for 2-3 minutes, I thought something must be wrong. My senior came running back to find me and saw me standing near the turnstile helplessly. I told him it's not going up, I swiped already. He told me, you need to PUSH IT to move forward, it doesn't automatically goes up! I guess I had the Delhi experience in mind where the turnstile goes up automatically.

> just let the kids play outside

I grew up rurally and can guarantee I spent more time outside than most. It was almost impossible to get me back inside. I’d leave early AM and go explore our until dark day after day, month after month year after year. Yet I still ended up with myopia (that started very young.)

Of course, I probably just got unlucky. Across a population it’s probably good advice, but it’s not a magic bullet and it’s not a guaranteed answer.

That being said if I was inside, I as almost guaranteed to have my nose in a book. Wonder if that had any impact despite my consistent exposure to outside.
As someone who used to live in DC, and now lives in Tokyo, yes, the DC metro system is pretty terrible. How long did that Silver line extension take again? And when are they going to build more lines or extensions? And when are they going to have trains that run like clockwork every 5 minutes? Heck, when are they going to install automated gates on the platforms so people can't fall into the tracks? I don't think the DC system's drivers could possibly stop accurately enough for that to work there.

Several in my professional life.

I've had my code go into production only to cause big issues, I've severely over-engineered a couple things and have had to redo them totally, I've fucked up a git- stash merge once or twice, and I really got too invested into the whole cloud native thing with creating kubernetes sidecars and the like.

The lesson has generally been to keep things simple, and not try and seek some sort of perfect abstraction or fad library of the times.
Everybody gets somehow 'involved' - its called politics, just look at Ukraine. Its not the same as blasting 100 billion USD into failed invasions that kills a million civilians and cripples many more, achieve absolutely 0 positive but massively destabilize whole region for generations to come. Syria wouldn't be such a mess without Iraq invasion for example, and whole arab spring movement would be much saner if it would actually happen. Palestine wouldn't be witnessing current events without many veterans of Syria conflict. And so on. Conflicts feed next conflicts.

But sure, military-industrial complex gets very happy, you can't sell many weapons if nobody is fighting and people settle their differences by talking, can you.

Ask HN: Arch Linux vs. Ubuntu, Thoughts?

Also have you faced boot issues when dual booting with windows? as in a blank screen and pc not POSTing?
Which is very different from diagnosing at compile time.
We both agree that there's a chance of survival. However, an unresolved question remains: is it really better to survive, or would it have been better to have died instantly? If most of my friends and family have died, then I would rather chose the latter.

If "wealth" is the value of labour, then there is a limit to the value you yourself can generate with your own. After that, to become more wealthy you must work out a way of taking that value from other people, and making it your own.
