Sorry, to be clear, it's irrelevant whether humans are doing it or someone else. They're not identifiable, and there's no example of such a thing. There are noncomputable reals which we can identify. I'm willing to say those exist. There are non-computable reals that we cannot identify (basic countability argument), that must exist as part of the reals if defined as they are.

But we've no example of them. They're just kind of there. They don't exist.

Either way, you don't need to argue with me. Much smarter thinkers than me have written extensively on it, and it's a widely held view. It's an indictment of one's own curiosity when the response to a new idea is to suggest the introducer is somehow lacking.
Agree on every point. Sodium is also so abundant it will likely not have the same price fluctuations as lithium.

For stationary battery like the use case describe for in house. I would assume sodium has a much better chance of winning over.

I connected my TV to the internet to test some Wi-Fi streaming before, and I noticed after a few days the number of blocked queries my DNS had blocked. So, I kept it running for a few days. On average, it blocked more than 15k queries a day! And that’s in idle mode and/or turned off, so I wasn’t running any YouTube, Netflix, or similar.
It can be great that way. And it’s generally useful when the objectives of the teams are not the consulting business, but the client. Meet every two weeks to discuss the project and get feedback on what’s been done. Often, it’s not the devs doing the meeting.

But scrum inside a business is pretty much a nightmare scenario.

I lost a tooth after the pandemic. To seat an implant they pack the void with one of several things, including sterilized cadaver bone, then wait for the oocytes to colonize and make new bone.

I got a synthetic bone sand. Little bits of it migrated like glass slivers would but otherwise it wasn’t bad and at least I didn’t have dead people in my mouth.

Obviously this is a bit of a different scenario given the fairly substantial differences in the shape of the wound, but I wonder how much longer we will need to use naturally occurring materials versus synthesized ones, made in a sterile environment.

1000 people remotely for 44 stores. That's easily human beings that could have been hire to actually man those stores.

Sure remote is cheaper, but AI this was not. And it was touted as such. That was the whole point of the "walk out stores" concept.
Interesting. Seems like a huge missed opportunity there, as those outsell everything else by quite a margin.

I also have a TCL TV and would definitely notice this effect, and I typically use Movie picture mode so you'd expect it would be triggered, but doesn't seem to be present on YouTube or other streaming sources.
This. And I’ll be amenable to a team meeting to reflect and exchange on how the team have been doing. And even those demo meetings when a project got done. Or sharing knowledge and doing postmortems. I just don’t want the daily standups and the ritual retros. I never wait for these to share issues and provide updates.
That would work for a bit, but at current trends that won't last long worldwide either.
My 75” TCL running Roku seems to be unaffected. Thank goodness. I despise that (field rate) soap opera look.
Hard to believe it's only 50 years old because of how mechanical and simple the cube is compared to other gadgets of that time.

Such a wild concept from a wild time in history.

I have wanted upon occasion to put together a YouTube channel where I drop in on nerdy road trip destinations to try and get others to roll out and check these places out as well. I think in fact it was my stumbling upon the Experimental Breeder Reactor 1 [1] where I first hatched the idea.

Ask HN: Graduating from gsheets without going full ERP
I have a friend who is outgrowing his Google sheets financial system (many many scripts) and as a former Python developer (been in management recently) I thought “Oh let’s do a proper business rules/state engine” then I remembered how bad I am at UI and how much actual work that would be from scratch.

What’s out there now with a decent drag/drop UI, backed by a real dbms, that has good business rules for a one or two person show that isn’t necessarily a black box? Maybe if ms access had a grandchild that was a prodigy (and wasn’t written by Microsoft TBH)
glinet routers are amazing, but their file sharing lacks authentication sadly (well, mine does, at least). So anyone getting access to you network also gets access to your files.

I would hesitate before installing any extension that wants access to GitHub, especially if it auto-updates. I know, IDE extensions are even better methods of attack and we often don't think twice about auto-updating those, but still. Something about giving a third-party extension access to my GitHub to do whatever seems a bit fishy. Just me, tho.

Not quite. What I'm more alluding to is something like, say, rewriting smss.exe and csrss.exe to be CLR programs (along with the implication of porting the CLR to the Native API) and giving PowerShell access to their internals directly.

Cows are very delicious to humans and make good leather, but that has been very good for there survival: we breed lots and lots of them.

It’s not clear to me that a non compete is an “unfair method of competition”. In particular it hurts employees (well, maybe) who are not the competition of a business.
Amazingly uninformed and stupid comment… “It uses Mach-O, an unproven format that is proprietary to Apple. The moribund FreeBSD, off which OS X is based, uses ELF, so clearly Apple went to the extra effort of "switching" (heh) simply to break compatibility. With ELF, users would be able to run most of their Lunix apps”…
Surely they cannot define arbitrary actions as “unfair competition”. It must at least have some basis in reality. That’s the whole point of the Loper Bright decision.
We like to see patterns. I think the same thing with TOTP codes, I'm always noticing when they have repeated digits, or only 2 different digits, stuff like that, but that's just the nature of the human brain looking at random numbers.
They aren’t fighting for Chromebook territory with this though.

All their comparisons are to the MacBook Air and mid-high end windows laptops because that’s the market they’re gunning for. These are meant to be $1k-2k devices.
Yes. People love to complain that modern cars aren't repairable, but they typically do last much longer than those of decades ago.
You got downvoted for saying that BLS is intentionally lying about jobs numbers. That’s what “cooking” means in this context and it is a big accusation.

The Fed chair’s statement you cite doesn’t support it. He’s just saying that the jobs numbers may not be perfectly representing the actual job market. That is not exactly news; it’s a very hard thing to measure. He’s not accusing the BLS of lying.
Maybe you can ask ChatGPT to analyze his comment for you.
I don’t necessarily agree with their decisions but I think they are not so inconsistent as you claim. They want the executive to be more limited in power, but the power it does wield to be mostly immune from oversight by the other branches. It’s a “we each stay in our lane” philosophy.
> most software is not that optimized

I would say: For good reason. The value is too low.

> basically anything else that also uses Electron...

To me, the point of Electron is a lovely platform with very high developer productivity. This is partly the reason why Java/C# was able to displace so much C&C++ code inside big enterprise corps writing CRUD apps. Sure, Java/C# is a bit bloatly/slow compared to C&C++, but the developer productivity is way higher.

This is the way.

If you went into a data center with a random device from amazon and asked to plug it in and see what happens an sysadmin would slap you silly.

At home folks are content to plug in whatever. Not only do you have no idea what it's doing but what it MIGHT do in the future.

https://www.theverge.com/23573362/anker-eufy-security-camera... ... Anker was a pretty respectable brand, their marketing department out right lied, about a device where privacy is critical.

Control your network, trust nothing you plug into it... It won't stop, so cut it off is the order of the day.
What I don't understand is why cinephiles would be streaming through a Roku anyway. Shouldn't they be downloading 18K TURBO-HD straight from the Academy's server?
Thanks for the code! Going to pore over this.

I read the comment and I definitely agree (though it took me a while to get to where you landed), I think there are some benefits:

- More controllable/easy to reason about cancel safety (though this gets pushed up the stack somewhat). You just can't cancel a thread, but it turns out a ton of places in an async function are cancel points (everywhere you or some function calls .await, most obviuosly), and that can cause surprising problems.

- Ability to easily slap on both sync and async shells (I personally think it's not unforgivable to smuggle a tokio current thread runtime in as a dep and use block_on for async things internally, since callers are none the wiser)

Great comment though, very succinctly explained what I was getting at... I personally land on the "just make everything async" side of things. Not necessarily everything should be Send + Sync, but similar to Option/Result, I'd rather just start using async everywhere than try to make a sync world work.

There's also libraries like agnostic[0] that make it somewhat easier to support multiple runtimes (though I've done it in the past with feature flags).

> The problem with the approach suggested in the article is that it splits the flow (event loop) and logic (statemachine) from places where the flow is the logic (send a stun binding request, get an answer).

Very concisely put -- If I'm understanding OP's point of view, the answer to this might be "don't make the flow the logic"? basically rather encoding the flow as a state machine and passing that up to an upper event loop (essentially requiring the upper layer to do it).

Feels like there are at least 3 points in this design space:

- Sync only state machines (event loop must be at the outermost layer)
- Sync state machines with possibly internal async (event loops could be anywhere)
- Async everything (event loops are everywhere)

> So many programmers saw "Premature optimization is the root of all evil" and thought it means "Caring about performance makes you a heretic".

This is very well said. Also, with enough experience, many good programmers will "know" where the hotspots will be, while writing the code. So, they can be "sloppy" in areas where it doesn't matter, and "care more about performance" in areas where it will likely matter much more.
It is more nuanced than that. The BLS and ADP jobs report numbers sometimes diverge significantly. This is explainable by differences in how the data is sourced and modeled.

Roughly, BLS accurately reflects government employment and then extrapolates to the private sector using a census model that can be several years old. ADP is private sector data and doesn’t reflect government employment. They are essentially sampling disjoint employment pools which leads to some known artifacts.

Sometimes there are large spasms of government job growth through expansion of spending and jobs programs when there is no matching growth in the private sector and the private sector may actually be declining (as seen in ADP data), yet BLS will extrapolate that the private sector must have similarly grown based on the government growth data. Similarly, ADP is generally considered a reasonably accurate model of private sector job growth but doesn’t account for government employment even when it is substantial. ADP can significantly exceed BLS in boom markets.

A heuristic that has been around forever for tracking “productive employment” is that the job market is good when (ADP - BLS) is a positive number and bad when it is negative. Currently, this heuristic is tracking at something like -100k to -150k, which indicates a poor job market.
I guess we all are burnt out of the “hype” concept and its meta (not referring to this thread sarcastically, but not excluding it either).

With all these shallow short/micro “blogging” platforms we made a couple of steps back in cultural development. It’s just too much speech to process properly, and most of it is useless if not harmful.
84% of the global population are in low and middle income countries, and the vast majority of those people could have a significantly higher quality of living in a place like Japan if they were given the neccesary political protections.

6 billion people is not infinity people, and not all of those people are willing or able to move to a place like Japan to try their luck. But the idea that immigration is anywhere close to an end is preposterous.
Real question about L1 caches. For a long time, x86 (Intel & AMD) L1 caches have been pretty much pegged at 32KB. Do you know why they didn't make them larger? My guess: There is a trade-off between economics and performance.

Really interesting to read. So IIUC ambergris is _sometimes_ formed in the 4th (last) sperm whale stomach, is basically a constipatory plug of indigestible squid parts (beaks, quills, and eye lenses) which either eventually passes thru the whale’s anus, ruptures the intestine and kills the whale, or is (was?) harvested on rare occasion by whalers. And if you’re lucky you can find it washed up on beaches.
> how adamant the typical HN'er is about having good commit messages, and follow a strict merging paradigm, such as peer reviewed pull requests

That’s communication, and sometimes a protocol helps nicely in getting the relevant information out of the medium. Especially when the communication is async as everyone knows roundtrips is bad.

> with lot's of room for discussing minute details of rebasing versus merging with or without squashing

That’s geeky time out of work. When doing it, we know that we’re not working.

> a shared to-do list across a team

The shared list is not the issue. It’s what happens to the items inside it. Scrum make us work more on the item organization than what it’s worth. Then they get arranged into something that doesn’t really matter (sprint), and then we are judged on that. While we just want to get things done.

Yeah I never really bought that language argument - the idea that the paradox arises solely from a schism between language and reality. I prefer to think eschatology solves the issue quite nicely. The omnipotent entity is the one for which such a situation never arises. Similarly if a universe evolves to give rise to God, who is to say that God was never present. Or all around us, really?

Either way I'd say Matthew 4:1 solves that paradox in a way that satisfies billions of people. Though I am getting a kick out of imagining Mexican/American Jesus munching on burritos.
