Apple doesn’t have a monopoly on mobile gaming or even mobile. Windows is more of a monopoly than iOS, but it’s not a monopoly in gaming platforms by a large margin. OpenGL is a totally viable alternative. Etc.

CUDA is definitely a big part of the lock Nvidia has on their market. Other companies could with investment out class then hardware wise. But because of their API lock there’s no point.

You are correct. It is more like a scanner manager/platform.
I am new to this field. Thanks for the correction.
Just when you think HN is a place for enlightened commentary about science and technology, you get misogynistic comments like this. It still amazes me that in 2024 these attitudes still exist.
I think it was the superalignment team that was disbanded. This is the safety team, which is related but not the same thing.
I think the ability to explain well requires you to be an expert, but also be able to quickly trace back all the definitions to what your student already knows.
"every location on Earth" is asking sort of a lot, but you might start at https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data/global-temper...
So interestingly if you are more explicit all of the models reliably answer correct. The confusion is clearly whether Alice is included as a sister in the count of sisters. By stipulating the prompt with “not including herself” it sufficiently disambiguates the problem and most LLMs get it right.
Additionally, self-discovery is not inherently individualistic. The most powerful discovery I made during my first trip was that I would not be who I am (self-discovery) without the influence of the many, amazing people I've had the good fortune of knowing (anti-individualistic). This understanding came with overwhelming gratitude and a desire to become closer with more people in my community.

In general psychedelics strip away your ego such that your self appears illusory. I've never met anyone whose takeaway from psychedelics was individualistic.

Agreed. There’s no reason to have so many indices.

I think the issue is their engineering culture. They have always had far too many engineers. They are clearly over complicating a such a simple product.
I also took the class that uses this OS at MIT. Absolutely fantastic. I was just browsing the class website today actually, and you can totally kinda take the class yourself. The site has all the lecture notes, the labs, and even a version of xv6 in a repo with branches for all the labs, along with instructions for getting it all working yourself. It's kinda amazing how open it is.

The first lab: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.1810/2023/labs/util.html

I do plan to work through the whole thing myself again at some point soon.
It seems like TID would be a better term for the in-kernal concept of a "pid", which could stand for "task id" or "thread id", whichever you prefer. And wouldn't be as confusing.
I think it's relative and phrased poorly, since the orbiter has to circle the earth at a certain faster speed. But quick googling shows Apollo 8 was traveling about a mile a second?
also you're more likely to crash somewhere where you don't hit anybody else
malloc() returning NULL isn't that helpful. Most applications just react to that by aborting, and most applications that don't abort take poorly-tested error-handling paths that often don't work. I don't remember ever seeing an application that reacted by trying the allocation again but requesting less memory.

I have seen applications react by pausing and trying the allocation again a few seconds later --- this can be shockingly effective! https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/11/improving-firefox-stabilit...
This seems like a good point to beat my drum: put your email address in your HN profile, people! A website link also wouldn’t hurt.

Otherwise if someone wants to follow up with you about a comment, there is no way to do so without spamming a public comment reply.

Ah, Whoops! Thank you for the correction.

It's scary how easily this happens. Even America briefly reduced funding to the USGS during the Trump years, among other agencies that saw budgets cut for anything that collects data on the environment. The impact was immediate and now certain important time series including stream gauges and ground water levels have years of missing data because those programs were shut down.

That's pretty exaggerated. I rarely read commit messages from projects where I'm the main (or sole) author. Even after several years of not working on something I rarely have difficulties remembering why I did something. And the really weird funky shit tends to be documented by comments.

Commit messages are primarily about communicating all of that to others. But if there is no one else to communicate to...

Is it a good idea to have all your commit messages as emojis (or blank) even if you're just working on it yourself? Probably not. Will the codebase be "destroyed" by "the end of the month"? Yeah nah.
Tom7 is a somewhat well-known mad computer scientist who specializes in technically ambitious projects of limited utility.

In this latest escapade, he takes inspiration from Knuth's line-packing algorithm used in typesetting beautiful print documents using the TeX typesetting system and intensifies it by training a large language model to automatically rephrase the input text until it is worded to minimize the "badness" of the page layout. Thus, "Badness 0".

It's that but also much more ambitious, impressive, and stupid.

The "three ways" are that you can see his technical writeup in its original words with layout using Knuth's algorithm in TeX, a variant of that article using his own layout engine (and thus slight variations on the wording that, plausibly, maintain the meaning and semantics), and then a video version.
I’m sorry, my current VP of engineering is like this too.

We should use falcor! Netflix stops supporting it.

We should use functional programming! It became far too complex and we have abandoned it.

Okay, time for a new API. Let’s use vanilla express and do everything on hard mode. Some people never learn.
Yeah, they did... but being blunt, IBM had 8 years to do a lot of damage. Not speaking of the engineers or the tech behind it, I'm talking about escalating the ad revenue and general junk on their website. MOST of the page load time on weather.com and AccuWeather is ad and tracking. It's an ungodly number of requests and will drain a data plan's usage limits surprisingly quickly.

Just opening weather.com will send almost 1000 requests , transfer 10.3MB. Every 30 seconds or so it will make about 300 requests + 2MB of transfer for new ads. It's... insane
Tell me which method you mean by "normal install" and I'll tell you the problem.
Heres something I just don't get. Microsoft just got their ass handed to them by the US Government because os (lapses in) security. Extremely more than coincidentally, Satya Nadella told the entire Microsoft org that if anyone had to choose between features and security, to choose security. I'm hearing from Microsoft people that all product roadmaps are deferred for a few months while security features are addressed. Their whole corporate spiel is "Microsoft runs on trust" (see the famous standards of business training on youtube).

And then someone goes and invents Recall. This is not the work of a lone engineer and a principal PM fishing for Impact or whatever they call success at Microsoft. This had to have gone through multiple levels of review. Microsoft PMs, CVPs, their corpo legal people, marketing approval. And yet no one stopped to say, "wait, this could blow up in our faces"?
You can ignore capex if borrowed money is literally free, which historically happens very rarely.
A word to the site operator: the examples page is not rendering in a monospaced font for me (iOS with lockdown enabled), perhaps try including a safe css fallback monospaced font?
That still doesn't make much sense at least to me.

I don't at all view fast food, the item itself as a luxury item.

But I can see how the act or experience of having fast food and all that comes with that process as being a luxurious process or experience. The speed, convenience and simplicity of having it could be a luxury.

But I don't think for example if you presented a bunch of people with a buffet of food items (ranging from fast food to home cooked dishes to nice restaurant dishes) that anyone would classify the fast food items as luxury items.

That's how it makes sense in my head. Show a person a buffet of food that contains fast food items and chef cooked items and ask them which ones are luxury food items. I don't think 80% of people would include the big mac and fries in their list of luxury food items.

But ask a busy person if the act of grabbing mcdonalds from a drive thru on the way from place to place is a luxury, then I can see more people saying yes.

So to me it's the act or process that is the luxury, not the fast food items themselves.
Dark patterns are great for maximizing conversions.

When did I advocate for paper bags? I don't seem to see that anywhere. It seems like your argument is mostly guided by straw men and reading comprehension failure. How is paper mill pollution relevant then? There weren't paper bags available where I went either. So it's not like banning plastic bags increased paper usage.

Either way, we can also have regulations protecting against paper mill pollution. It's not like we have to have one or the other. We can do both!

But in the end my argument is we should do much to eliminate the wastefulness of single-use bags in general. Not that we should substitute one for another. Quit throwing so much shit away every day of your life is my argument.

I fully acknowledge there's absolutely useful places for disposable things. Medical equipment, certain kinds of packaging, etc makes a lot of sense; there's often not really any good alternatives. But being given a throw away bag after buying a pack of gum is a simple example of the egregiousness of our throw away culture.

Go kayaking on most rivers in the US and get absolutely inundated with single use plastic trash of the worst kinds and continue telling me how bad doing anything is. Fuck single use plastic shopping bags, I can't wait to see them disappear.

Most places where pumped hydro is viable already have it. The growth potential is limited.

Hydrogen is a more interesting option. Not necessarily for energy storage, but as a fuel for use cases where electricity can't be used (like fertilizer or methanol rather than cars or heating).

Hah. Another topic where the "common knowledge" is just utter garbage and actual research yields a different picture. That doesn't stop people from being convinced of it.

The author of this post did the only correct thing and checked the kernel's source code, with is the authoritative source for this information.

The conclusions at the end are a bit whacky.
I can somewhat justify the cost of mid and full size SUVs currently, but still hate that you're looking to spend about 40-60k, more if luxury. The "popularity" of the segment has pushed makers to actually put some effort in handling, fuel efficiency, and reliability. The current offerings of this segment is leaps better than majority of the offerings of mid 2010s and older.

However, each maker is just slightly missing the mark here and there, and you are pretty much just cross shopping compromises. Unibody or body on frame? Lose physical buttons? Get touchscreen distractions spanned across your entire dash? Half baked infotainment system? Laughable trunk space with the third row up? No fold flat third row? Off-road/overland trim, but barely capable and/or not even a good enough platform to warrant aftermarket support?

At the current prices new or used, how long these cars last when taken care of, and being a "bang for buck"/"buy once cry once" kind of person. Nothing has really been compelling enough for me to purchase a 3 row for my spouse. (Nuclear family with kids really close in age that regularly road trip)

When it comes to crossovers, compact, and sedans. (Non sport/performance trims) The prices are alright, just find a solid example of something made within the past decade within your budget, take care of it, it takes care of you.

The sports car or performance trim segment is where I'm also torn. On one hand, everything is so much faster, capable, and more reliable (debatable) as time goes on. The other, is that the essence of what made older cars of the same segment great is slowly getting neutered out of the overall driving and owning experience.
Yes, they did. AccuWeather is also privately owned and a major competitor of TWCo. It has never had anything to do with IBM.

They can call it what they want in their language. In English we can call it what we want. We say United States and England and Australia but the Chinese and Japanese and Tibetans call them whatever they do in their languages. I don’t see a problem.

The mountain is usually called Everest, because British surveyors could not go to Nepal and Tibet to determine the local name. The name among the peoples living close to the mountain would have been Chomolungma (or something similar). Sagarmatha was apparently a name used further south in Nepal (outside the Tibetan cultural sphere), but the history of that name is poorly documented.

The homicide rate in Japan is extremely low, owing largely to the extreme small number of firearms in the country: approximately 0.2% of the population own firearms (compared to 40% ish of US households)

In a country of 125 million, there are only single-digit numbers of gun homicides each year.

(The USA has about 20k, with a population a bit more than double at 333 million; about 800x the rate in Japan)

It wouldn't even cross anyone's mind that it is a real gun.

I'm fairly sure weather.gov's api doesn't have an SLA of any kind. I highly recommend going through the push vs polling approach if possible and store the data as it comes in live in your own DB. AWS Open Data + MADIS are good sources that are... for reasons... far more stable

We have also sound-houses, where we practise and demonstrate all sounds and their generation. We have harmony which you have not, of quarter-sounds and lesser slides of sounds. Divers instruments of music likewise to you unknown, some sweeter than any you have; with bells and rings that are dainty and sweet. We represent small sounds as great and deep, likewise great sounds extenuate and sharp; we make divers tremblings and warblings of sounds, which in their original are entire. We represent and imitate all articulate sounds and letters, and the voices and notes of beasts and birds. We have certain helps which, set to the ear, do further the hearing greatly; we have also divers strange and artificial echoes, reflecting the voice many times, and, as it were, tossing it; and some that give back the voice louder than it came, some shriller and some deeper; yea, some rendering the voice, differing in the letters or articulate sound from that they receive. We have all means to convey sounds in trunks and pipes, in strange lines and distances.

Indie games are interesting because you'd think given the nature of their development they'd do more interesting things, but stunningly they've mostly stayed within a few codified genres (roguelike/ deckbuilder/platformer galore). There aren't many successors to the giants of the old like Terrarria or Dwarf Fortress.

I'd have to chalk it up to a lack of vision (I don't genuinely believe someone grows up wanting to make a roguelike deckbuilder), but then that begs the question of why are they in game dev in the first place.
What's the chances home weather stations have some bias in their signal (e.g. likely to be mounted on a hot roof) and that these data points get mixed into a larger corpus and someone ends up drawing incorrect conclusions from that corpus? Hopefully not high?

Getting my models dunked on by people who can't open MS Outlook more than 3 tries out of 5, however, have a remarkable depth and insight into their chosen domain of expertise. It's rather humbling.

Collaborating with nontechnical people is oddly my favorite part of doing MLE work right now. It wasn't the case when I did basic web/db stuff. They see me as a magician. I see them as voodoo priests and priestesses. When we get something trained up and forecasting that we both like, it's super fulfilling. I think for both sides.

Most of my modeling is healthcare related. I tease insights out of a monstrous data lake of claims, Rx, doctor notes, vital signs, diagnostic imagery, etc. What is also monstrous is how accessible this information is. HIPAA my left foot.

Since you seemed to be asking about the temporal realities, it's about 3 hours of meetings a week, probably another 3 doing task grooming/preparatory stuff, fixing some ETL problem, or doing a one-off query for the business, the rest is swimming around in the data trying to find a slight edge to forecast something that surprised us for a $million or two using our historical snapshots. It's like playing wheres waldo with math. And the waldo scene ends up being about 50TB or so in size. :D

Ads and cookies are hardly the worst thing that AccuWeather has done. They have been lobbying the federal government for 30 years to forbid NOAA from issuing forecasts at all. They want the government to pay for all the satellites and supercomputers, and they want all that data for free, but they want you to have to pay AccuWeather for forecasts.
I don't think that's true. As I understand it, jet engines are manufactured, sold, and maintained separately from the airframe. They're interchangeable components, and often get swapped out when they need maintenance.
you are confusing some words a former president said with actual events and material course of history. the US has been continuously directly or indirectly participating in wars for over 20 years at this point, while it directs the largest international military alliance in history and orchestrates the exclusion of its opponents from global financial markets. none of this is exclusive to any party; this is the logic of empire
That's not what I read from the article at hand.

Harm was done by going forward; not only to himself but to his wife and children.

"Mallory had premonitions about what might happen. Before leaving for that fatal attempt on Everest in 1924, he visited Kathleen, the widow of Captain Scott, and confessed to friends he was in two minds about whether he should leave his own wife and small children in Cambridge. In a way many will recognize, he never quite made the decision himself but let others make it for him. The Everest committee were determined that their finest climber would be part of the team, and Mallory’s wife Ruth did not want to be seen to dissuade him from going."

And at the root of the tragedy it's implied lay technicalities yes, as Mallory didn't want to go with pragmatic complement George Finch again.

But the underlying culprit seems to be the apparent lack of choice he must have felt in context; boiling down all the way to Francis Younghusband and his goal to "conquer Everest" for Britain (not good old masculinity without skin in his game either btw).

"Now, it appears, Mallory had told the committee, as one of his deferring mechanisms, that he would not think of joining the new expedition if Finch was going; so they fired Finch to persuade Mallory, and he was left with little alternative but to prove he was a better climber on the day, whatever risks might be involved."
IME hard disagree. Projects with any longevity and/or turnover will have code that doesn’t seem to make sense but was put there for a reason. Commit messages are key to giving the context because even though there might be descriptions people will put the relevant slack messages and jira tickets in the pr or commit.

At this point I almost weekly have to review the full context on a pr to make sure my fix won’t break some historical use case that isn’t immediately obvious.
