You touched on the "value system" in the west.

My original comment in that thread highlighted this.

> People keep pointing to how "expensive" it is to have kids, however I see rich, well off people having fewer and fewer kids.
I really think deep down the reasons are social and societal. The decline of the family system, religion, and traditional values have all led to this.

Look around. People just don't want kids (no matter the money). They don't like to admit this but they find it burdensome. They want "freedom". At least this is my observation.

I find this to be more common in America than in other western countries.

As one American friend put it: "Americans love their granite counter tops more than they love their children".
Dates!?
If the theory of relativity was a person, it would not be old enough to drive or vote in 1930. :) It was an accepted theory, but it was not the wildly successful theory it is today.

Showing that a black hole was possible within the theory could just be a problem with the theory itself. Not necessarily an indication that they must exist.
Doesn't matter if you believe it, they still advertised it and should be punished for breaking a promise like that.
It's worse than Disney+??

I've been trying to watch Arrested Development and the experience is downright painful. I won't be continuing my subscription.
Okay, so a blue state steps in to make themselves a safe haven. Conservative courts sue and take cases up to the supreme court to force their will on them. Said blue state then says 'I believe the supreme court ruling is invalid and will not adhere by it'. What exactly do you think will happen?

And for reference, there has already been trends of this occurring. The Texas bounty hunter law for women who have abortions is an example, where they have tried to sue other states for records pertaining to abortions (See: Texas vs Seattle Children's Hospital).
> So I'll have to create another user account to run a web browser, my mail client, a software package manager

Not if you trust those things. And if you don't trust them, you shouldn't be using them.

> or a compiler?

On my personal machine, yes, I have a separate user account for development, such as compiling programs. Creating new user accounts on a Unix machine is pretty simple.
Fundamentalists don't do things for others, they do them for themselves, to make themselves look better, or to be praised. They are superficial and fake. No one will miss them when they are gone.
I used to think this. I have come to believe the opposite. We can’t _never_ update _any_ laws. It’s chaos.
Sure but you could add pseudo random noise instead and get the same behavior while retaining determinism.
> I don't think this is the "gotcha" you think it is.

Sorry it came across as a "gotcha"; just meant as a potentially-relevant HN post from a few months ago in the spirit of sharing and curiosity.

But digging a bit further, I did find a few HN comments from two years ago that may be worth considering; pizza234's "I personally discourage people from using this software."[1] and proto_lambda's "If this is the kind of thing that's considered acceptable by the developer, I'd rather keep their products far away from my machines."[2]

Yeah about that. Turns out position and momentum are a bit more complicated than we thought when electromagnetism was first described.

Suffice it to say an electron that has a singular position is about as realistic as one that has a single momentum but exists everywhere in space.
There will be no controversy.

The Court will refer to DoE's definitions/rulemaking. Issue closed.

Now, if DoE started publishing guidelines about the radiation levels in bananas to be marketed in the U.S., the Courts would look at DoE like they have a second head, and tell them Congress never intended for them to govern banana radiation levels. That's the FDA's job.

Now let's make it more interesting. Let's say DoE passes down rulemaking around the how radiation exposure resulting from food intake by Nuclear plant employees gets factored into lifetime exposure, and Dole sues to have their bananas excluded from the calculation.

Under Chevron, check the statute, no mention of banana-ry. Check the agency definitions for reasonability:

Guideline related to management of Energy infra/workers in the United States. Okay. The Government is passing something that applies to all DoE covered workers. Okay. No single entity (purveyor of fruit) is singled out. No invalid statutory constructions were used. Check with FDA for corroborating info. Okay.

Tell Dole DoE's rulemaking request is ultimately reasonable and within scope for fulfilling DoE's narrowly scoped mandate; end of story.

The gist is the Court can't just ignore a request for redress of grievance via deferring to the Executive Agency in question anymore.

Obligatory IANAL. Just my read of the decision. The justices really drilled home on review of administrative law being the job of the courts. Not the Executive.
Or giant ringed ‘e’ planets. You gotta watch out for those. They’ll embrace you then extend you then extinguish you.
> If you're paranoid use flatpak.

I don't think this is a good solution, both because the so-called "sandboxing" isn't all it's cracked up to be, and because you now have to depend on each individual app vendor to push you security updates, instead of just your Linux distro.

The really paranoid would probably be using BSD with jails, which AFAICT is one area in which the BSDs are ahead of Linux.
Sadly no, they moved all courses to a private platform, but we used a lot of external resources not too much of our own except the exercises.

The kernel development one was pretty much what you can find in the Intel Manuals + osdev wiki [1] or some of the many osdev tutorials [2].

For SIMD I'm not aware of good tutorials or books, we did use again Intel manuals for reference and also [3]. For the image filters I assume you can search algorithms for basic filters such as pixelate, edges, etc. expressed as matrix operations and see how you can write that as SIMD ops.

Similar to Chomsky, Derrida, Rorty and other contemporary intellectual 'greats' of the post-war era , Foucault owes some of his inflated legacy to existing during a pre-internet, pre-Twitter era, when the marketplace for intellectualism was less saturated and academic press and the mainstream media provided a funnel for the masses and other academics to be fed these ideas or a diluted version of them. Thanks to twitter, podcasts, e-zines, and blogs, anyone with a degree can do a good enough job imitating someone like him and also get a lot of acclaim and status. Anyone with a doctorate or a master's degree can write a book and go on podcasts to promote it, or write a Substack blog. The funnel and gatekeeper institutions like the École normale supérieurem, Eton, or Oxford and the exclusivity and prestige they signaled during the 60s and 70s, is long gone or also diluted. In some ways this also parallels the post-Cold-War decline of Continental Europe as an economic and cultural superpower, as most of those intellectuals originated from there.
By this criterion you shouldn't trust Windows either.
...if you want one. Like, really want one. Can't take it back once it's done.

If you're unsure, spend time with parents. See the work they put in. Determine if you can live with that.

Everything the OP said isn't necessarily wrong (I don't have kids but have heard similar sentiments), but they are glossing over the ABSOLUTE INSANE FUCKTON of work that he/she/they've put in up to this point.
With the problems of modernism apparent in the philosophical academy, continental and especially leftist philosophy had a huge void of ideas. Post-structuralism took root precisely because it shrugged the idea of having An Answer but also explained many of the problems with modernism and salvaged the ideas of the Left as best as it could without having to exhume Hegel viz Marx. Rational critiques of post-structuralism remain as lurid as ever but I still see a huge void in modern western philosophy that post-structuralism dances in the ashes of.

If anyone is aware of other non-rationalist western philosophies, I'd be curious as I'm only aware of the Lacanian schools and then more standard post-structuralist stuff like Foucault and Deleuze.

I'd also be careful of trying to read a philosopher's life inside their ideas. Deleuze led a very bog-standard life for a white man in the postwar era in Europe despite advocating for fairly radical philosophies. It's the ideas that take root and shape the academy and then society. If you wish to push back on post-structuralism, criticize the idea, not the people. Foucault himself may have been depraved, but others certainly weren't.
Who arbitrated which is best and which is worst?
Plus, these models are entirely black boxes. Even given weights, we don't know how to look at them and meaningfully tell what's happening - and not only that, but training these models is likely not cheap at all.

Stable output is how we can verify that attacks like the one described in Reflections on Trusting Trust[0] don't happen.

> Now businesses must factor in the uncertainty of any random person launching a lawsuit that causes a local court to reverse a federal agency policy.

Spurious lawsuits annoying small businesses is already the case in America. I've defended against plenty of them. The concept of someone using random lawsuits to target local courts to overturn federal agency policy is very far removed from a businessowner's mind compared to the other types of litigation that actually happens on a regular basis.
NVCC CUDA builds were nondeterministic last time I checked, it made certain things (trying to get very clever with generating patches) difficult. This was also hampered by certain libraries (maybe GTSAM?) wanting to write __DATE__ somewhere in the build output, creating endlessly changing builds.
> Can you please give some reference for this claim?

Any GR textbook. I referenced two classic ones elsewhere in this discussion.

Or, for that matter, you could read the classic paper by Oppenheimer and Snyder which was the first published model of actual gravitational collapse to form a black hole. And was published in...1939. What I'm saying is not news.

> Time stopping at the event horizon is quite the standard view in "science communication" of black holes.

That's because "science communication" sucks at accurately portraying the actual science.
There's a church in my area that has some signs and banners about welcoming all people, but also has a "no trespassing" sign. I approached the clergy of the church about it, and they tell me that the police requires the no trepassing sign, or else the police won't respond to incidents. I hate that dissonance.
No, there are multiple projects and companies that are making good progress toward commercially practical fusion reactors.

Helion Energy has a contract to deliver Microsoft a fusion reactor by 2028. It's only four years away so we don't need to speculate about it. Helion will either deliver or they won't:

That's a silly comment...

The whole point of things like this is to be believable. How can you guarantee anything from warrenties to insurance if you don't believe advertised promises?
I don’t think they’re independent events. Bayesian priors would say that if you have five failed businesses then your chances of being successful on number 6 are probably less than 60%
And wouldn't this court still take this kind of challenge on constitutional grounds? That congress has no power to give legislative authority to an executive agency?
also see: the definition of moot, e.g. “moot point”.
We also need to consider that the chance of another Andrew Jackson approaches 100% the more this unhinged court does this.
My story is similar, but using Laravel as the canonical example of how not to structure things. Even without Facades, the internals are an impenetrable maze of magic methods, with things like Macroable adding methods from dog-knows-where. Even adding phpdoc types doesn’t work when dealing with things like scopes.
Presumably irrelevant since we didn't care about the previous crossing.

Yes, but if you had a close interaction with one of those hundreds 2 days ago and were very thankful back then - then it is willfully ignoring the lowly peasant, to show them and everyone else, they are now higher in the hierachy.
Eric, I remember reading your Browser Wars web blog about a decade ago, and this posting caused me to jump back to the source material.

While Marc recounts that Microsoft offered for Spyglass to sell "Microsoft Mosaic" as an add-on while still offering your own independent version - despite MSFT eventually making its own browser free anyway - is there anything within that part of the larger story that you would elucidate to tell differently, or clarify deeper into its weeds? It was always one of the parts of the story that was more glossed over.

But that’s the point! The liberal justices could rule by taking into account any number of contingent factors established by decades of precedent. But the strict constitutionalists - the conservatives - should have ruled according to the text of the constitution, which is what they constantly claim they are doing. Except it seems to be just when that happens to coincide with their ideological priors.

The energy equation can be improved dramatically with tailor-made hardware. Bitcoin has showed how much was possible, these days using even the fastest gpu is totally unviable. Of course llm inference is much more complex but there's still much optimization to be had.

And 10$ isn't an awful lot of money to justify. It's like half an hour a month (and like a smoke break's worth of salary in silicon valley lol)

I think AI has its uses. I just think they are overblown and applied too widely. There's a few things it's really good at. And in those cases it will shine. The rest is hype.
Even then, though, the output could change drastically based on a single change to the input (such as a comment).

That's not something you want in a compiler.
The thing I don’t understand is why you should have to pay to add devices. Or even that data expires each month.

Just sell me a bucket of gigabytes and I’ll consume it via as many devices as I want, then pay for another bucket when I run out.

Network congestion should be managed by towers anyway, not by artificial limits on number of devices or expiring data.
XML has gaps in its escaping. (Oops I wrote JSON at first, got the technicalities mixed up.) Null-terminated strings don't have escaping. Fixed width formats don't have escaping. Type-length-value formats don't have escaping.

And in practice I do not expect CSV with embedded nulls to work properly, so there's already precedent to reject certain characters entirely in a CSV-like format.
> Most people that are not trying to have children have chosen so either because they know they cannot afford to give a child a good life, or because they loathe to bring a new life into the quickly deteriorating world around them.

Or, maybe it's because raising children is hard, and expensive on top of that, both in revenue costs (which eats into your hobbies and indulgences) and opportunity costs (that time could be spent on your career, that money could be invested into your business or credentials, etc.)

I'm not trying to imply that people who don't want kids are selfish, because those are legitimate reasons. I just don't think everyone who's abstaining from having children is doing so purely because they think it's because the kid would be better off never having been born.

Solar panel production doesn't use lithium. They're made from sand and a lot of energy. A bit like silicon wafers.

You might mean the storage to keep those data centers running throughout the night though and yeah. But this problem is not very big in the scope of other battery challenges like transportation. Because for data centers you don't need the best energy per weight or volume which you do need in a car.

And there's other sources of renewable energy too.
I wasted money a couple upgrade cycles buying tablets with the SIM slot for extra money thinking I may one day need it.

What's the point in spending the extra money per month instead of just using your phone as a hotspot. I'm genuinely curious about the use case. With watches, they now have GPS built in and I just don't want to feel like I'm talking to Zordon the few times I would be outside without my phone but with a watch
I would straight up state that celebrity news garbage magazines are of less value to society than PC Gamer.

Following celebrity, cough, news, cough, is the precursor to the toxicity of social media. It's not a hobby, it's an inducement of the negative base motivations of humanity; normalisation of negativity.

Disclaimer: my understanding of People magazine is as celebrity gossip. I'm not sure if it was more wholesome earlier in it's life. In fact, celebrity gossip itself may have been somewhat more wholesome back in the days when society overall seemed a bit more polite.
> Remind me how many teraflops the most powerful Roman computer was capable of?

Bad metric. We could go to the moon in the 70’s, and had supersonic passenger planes, and we could build at scale.

Today California can’t build a train, building a nuclear powerplant takes 20 years and we can’t go to the moon and don’t have supersonic passenger planes. So we have partially regressed despite having more terraflops
Hmm. Trying to understand what you're suggesting here.

You can pass _any_ JS value as a prop to a child component, and there's nothing special about any of that as far as React is concerned. You can pass a primitive, an object, a Promise, an AbortController, a DOM node, anything. All React cares about is "here's what gets passed into the child".

Suspense has a couple key bits of behavior: it needs to let _deeply_ nested components trigger the _nearest_ Suspense boundary, and it also needs a way for React to know when the async behavior is done (ie, the promise resolves) so that it knows when to re-render. Throwing a promise is certainly unusual conceptually, but makes sense in light of those constraints.

(I'm probably misunderstanding what you're envisioning and didn't manage to answer it properly - feel free to clarify with an example if you'd like!)

It's not called AutoFDO. AutoFDO refers to a specific sampling-based profile technique out of Google (https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/2854038.2854044). Sometimes people will refer to that as PGO though (with PGO and FDO being somewhat synonymous, but PGO seeming to be the preferred term in the open source LLVM world). Chrome specifically uses instrumented PGO which is very much not AutoFDO.

PGO works just fine in Rust and has support built into the compiler (https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/profile-guided-optimization....).

Huh, I wonder if anyone's tried to validate this approach again now that we have LIGO (and presumably more precise equipment?). I know very little about the physics involved here, but the articles I found about Weber bars don't cite disagreement about the theory underpinning the experiment, so I'm curious if we expect a detectable effect with our current understanding?

I also know very little about manufacturing Weber bars, but I could imagine it's cheaper to build 100s or 1000s of these and perform signal processing on them than building another LIGO. Or Weber bars in space?

I'm on a similar 3rd party (?) carrier, Visible, through Verizon and obviously the dataplans are deprioritized. That being said, I've had 100% the same experience using them and Verizon throughout my state, and speeds stayed on par at the times I've tested. IIRC they do also offer an uptier that puts you as priority, but so far I haven't needed it.
a mystery to me

It's ably explained in Roberts' opinion. In short, Congress often left the fine details to the agencies, not least because the laws were often drafted within those same agencies. Chevron was based on the idea that if statutory text is ambiguous the people in charge of implementing said statute were best positioned to figure out what it meant, in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act (which sets out rules for for how agencies make rules, eg requiring consultations, publications of proposed rules, public comment periods thereon etc.).
