>And it made it complex to figure out how to use those DIMMs, those parts of memory that would be slower but persistent. Using the DIMMs was hard.

CXL changes the game due to its cache coherency protocol. You don't have to care, precisely because the system transparently deals with this directly in the hardware. It is just one giant address space. You don't need slow OS level page faults or to update the page table every time something is loaded or unloaded from memory.

The biggest problem with persistent memory is building an application with transactional semantics. All the hardware and software transactional memory is built around concurrency and not persistence. When you think about it, that is kind of backwards. Persistent memory has very loose performance requirements since I/O is assumed to be slow. Meanwhile parallelism and concurrency are about increasing performance and therefore it defeats the point if it ends up slower than without.
My local library service in England has had the "Open Access" scheme in place since before the pandemic.

I don't think there have been any major problems with it.

You need to go through an induction course on things like fire safety, then you use your library card and PIN to enter the building out of staffed hours.

It's very convenient to be able to go at any time from approx 08:00 to 19:30 every day.

The "tailgating" problem is a little overblown - you're encouraged not to let others in, but they know that you can't do anything to stop it, and they don't expect you to put yourself in any danger.

There are still staffed hours throughout the week, and these work on a sort of rotation so that a neighbouring library will likely be open if your local one is unstaffed.

> A good example is the serde_json library, if enabling the ordering of the maps. If you deserialize JSON into its dynamic Value enum, the resulting object can be many times bigger than the original string.

Deserialized non-trivial objects are generally larger than the original serialised value.

IndexMap should not generally be significantly larger than a HashMap though, unless the key and value are very small (sub-word).
I think that chatbots will lead to less information available, not more. Because they make writing information more useless and demotivating. So what we are looking toward is less written information overall available.

And when chatbots don't know, they lie.

Kids will learn the hard way. Possibly harder then we did.
Or do people in a rich society like ours just have more opportunity to notice problems like this vs if you live in a society where life is more hard? It's like it seems we have more people today identifying as gay vs 100 years ago. Is it really more gay people today or do we just have a more tolerant socity that enables more people to identify as gay?
Most managers love to repeat "saying it's not my job is terrible attitude" while assigning unreasonable targets and stuffing items in the Sprint to the extent that even sneezing hard will make you overrun your deadline. So I am expected to deal with non prioritized work with a smile so that I have to steal from time set aside for my family in order to make the sprint target? How is that not bad mentality?

From TFA:

> If your OOB network is your only way of managing things, you not only have to build a separate network, you have to make sure it is fully redundant, because otherwise you've created a single point of failure for (some) management.

I'm not sure I necessarily agree with that. You can set up the network in such a way that you can route over the main network as a backup if your OOB network was down but the main network was up. Obviously, it's not quite as simple as sticking a patch cable between the two networks, but it can be close - you have a machine that's always on your OOB network, and it has an additional port that either configures itself over DHCP or has a hard-coded IP for the main net. But the important thing is that you never have that patched in, except for emergencies like your OOB network cable being severed but you still have access to the main network. If that does happen, you plug it in temporarily and use that machine as a proxy. There's no real reason for extra redundancy in the OOB, because if your main uplink is also severed, there's not really much you're going to be usefully configuring anyway!
Love this, the pure CSS option is really elegant

Another option would be self hosting vector tiles(or finding the most generous free tier vector tiles) and using a custom grey scale styling that you could tweak to your needs.

Well, if she weighs the same as a duck...

It seems to be a variation of §1 - because witchcraft is a serious crime and the god of rivers (Idlurugu) would obviously drown anyone who was a witch.[1]

§1: accuse someone of murder -> (can't prove your case) -> your own life is forfeit

§2: accuse someone of witchcraft -> (can't prove your case) AND (they prove they are not punished/drowned by the river god) -> your own life is forfeit

Trial by ordeal was an ancient thing, even back then.[2] It is the sort of thing you see where there was no real distinction between legal and theological, between law and rite. Indeed, Töyräänvuori concludes:

>Arbitration via suprarational trial seems to be required in cases where it is the word of one person against another, and no forensic evidence can settle the manner. Anthropologically, the ordeal is supposed to reveal whether the witness or accused is lying through the threat of supernatural punishment, functioning as a primitive lie-detector test. Its use in European witch trials likely also follows from this function, as accusations of witchcraft were often spread through social contagion. An important facet of the trials is that they seem to have been meant to acquit the accused innocent of the crime in most of the cases it was used.[2]

It's interesting that unproven (false) accusations and perjury are at the very top of the legal code, with severe punishments attached. Which are exactly the sort of abuses you'd see pop up when a legal code is in place.

Chatbots are great systetising in areas where there is a strong open source like culture - a lot of people writing tutorials and on stack overflow. The moment you move into area that is not popular to write about, they start making stuff up.

And it sux massively. I would much rather seen "I don't know" then what ChatGPT produces currently.
Makes me wonder how someone would have found the answers before the printing press. Write to or visit the most knowledgeable person you could get an introduction to or who would answer you? Then go to their contacts or recommendations? Then draw a conclusion from all the responses?

And even this scenario assumes a working postal system, availability of paper and pen. But if you didn't have those, you may not have heard of Greek to even ask the question.
>¹ Leaving aside that both numbers are high to begin with; 48% for anyone above €82k ridiculously so. That's no way to treat your productive population.

Most EU countries (where Portuguese also happen to emigrate to) also tax their high earners equally high: France, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Sweden, even Romania lol. and people there aren't rioting because of it. Only few countries have low-ish taxes or offer tax breaks to immigrants: Luxembourg, Netherlands are the ones that come to mind.

I doubt lowering the taxes for high earners is the solution that will fix all of Portugal's problems, as much as HN loves to see low income taxes fore them as an universal band aid for the entire economy, as if the entire economy is just tech workers and nothing else.

Maybe Portugal should first make itself more attractive to investors to come and create jobs, and spend its existing taxes more wisely at making life bearable for local low earners to stay and work there especially healthcare workers, before trying to become a tax heaven for high earning laptop tourists who will only spend money on nice rent and expensive cocktails but will fuck off the moment the gravy train stops.

Indeed, but always was it so, and always will it be.

Also, that story is exactly what I mean when I say that what Apple does is, despite the flaws, still better than nothing: you can't pull a fake app hosted on its own website — you might not even be able to go after the host or the domain registry without a court order, and even then the country in which they are based may not be on good terms with your own and may not care about that order.

The analogy here would be using a headline of the police arresting a criminal to say "this shows that the idea of using a police force to prevent crime leaves a bit to be desired". Yes, and?

The Netherlands have/had a tax-break for all expats, but it's going away (has gone away?) now.

Sadly even centrists are conservative now and destroying the country in the name of, what... preserving culture?

Examples: Attempts to limit the number of tourists. Limiting number of flights from Schiphol. A ban on building new hotels. Removal of the expat tax-break. Limiting the number of foreign student in the universities. Mandating that less university classes are thaught in English and the list goes on and on.

This is a problem for this particular teacher (who sees their students surpassing them in understanding and using AI), but of course it is projected to be a problem for the student.

No student is ever hurt by the introduction of a more advanced knowledge system. We heard similar laments decades ago, with: Students just believe the first 10 search results of Google. Those students are now the teachers of today, starting at the search bar.

I'd go so far as saying (if version other than 3.5 was used) that ChatGPT was correct and has far more linguistics knowledge than this teacher ever will. "Greek is actually a combination of four other languages" is not an answer that ChatGPT will ever give, but something a teacher makes up to claim Ch*tGPT is a Nonsense Machine.

ChatGPT: Greek has evolved in stages from Mycenaean Greek (Linear B script) through Classical Greek, Hellenistic (Koine) Greek, Byzantine Greek, and Modern Greek. It has been influenced by ancient Near Eastern languages, Latin, Turkish, Italian, and French.

If there really is an epistemic crisis, then it already existed and ChatGPT merely reflects it, not caused or contributed to it.

I scrape all of the food, wine and beer recommendations that I find and display them on a map in a web app. I can see the list of all of the places that are closest to me: restaurants, wineries, ice cream parlors, breweries and so on. If the source of the recommendation scores places or products made by it it's part of the data and I can filter by the score. I probably spent many weeks working in it. I'd love to make it a business but I have no idea how to approach the legality of it. I use it all the time because I travel a lot.

> That's no way to treat your productive population.

Seeing a single number and coming to that conclusion is very reductive, imo. What I believe matters is if the population feels like they are getting value for money. Income tax is higher than that here in Austria but we are broadly satisfied with what is done with that tax. Very much so in Vienna. Income tax is lower than that in Ireland, where I originally come from, and people are broadly unhappy with how tax is spent and don’t trust the government to tax more to implement the services they say they want.
Are these tools being promoted and sold as fallible implements? Or are they being hyped as super-human intelligence? Which takeaway is an impressionable child going to latch onto? One who wasn’t in on the last 1.5 years of discourse?
I see libraries as very useful and like to hang around books. A few times I had to ask for a librarian's help with research I was blown away by the speed and quality of the response. For example I needed a list of FM transmitters in Europe above certain power and after failing to create one via a bunch of national registries asked for help -- and got exactly what I needed in a few hours.

That said, let me be the devil's advocate. I see two key functions for librarians: research and access to unusual media, like microfiche. For research, the librarian does not need to be co-located with the library. Several librarians can work in a central location, like a research university or a national library, and serve the whole country.

Microfilm or microfiche can (and probably should) be digitized and served out of the central location anyway. When someone was using the readers every week in a library it made sense to keep them everywhere. But now the use plummeted and machines (at least in some libraries) are always broken. We should scan those films and support a more modern access to the archives. My 2c.
I think what is meant is that many extroverts don't fully understand what they're talking about.

Their communication often consists of catchphrases which sound good and clever, superficially. But by prioritizing form over substance, they don't allow themselves to develop a nuanced, in-depth understanding of anything. They tend to fall back on socially accepted axioms as opposed to thinking from first principles.

Catchphrases and first-principles thinking don't mix. Catchphrases are more geared for triggering emotional responses. I find that, on average, extroverts don't have the same level of rational, critical thinking as introverts do because everything they say and hear passes through some kind of emotional layer.

For example, with many extroverts, what I've found is that if they tend to get defensive when you're trying to share ideas and they often don't seem to understand nuanced arguments. I believe this is because, to the extrovert, the primary purpose of communication is to exchange emotions, not information.

Also, when an introvert debates an extrovert, they're not playing the same game. The introvert tends to be laser-focused on crafting the most logical arguments possible. On the other hand, the extrovert is laser-focused on crafting the most palatable argument which they believe most people will agree with. The extrovert is laser-focused on triggering desired emotional responses.

Introverts tend to craft arguments as if trying to convince god himself. Extroverts know that this isn't how you win debates; they know who their audience is and what their emotional trigger points are. They know what narratives they need to invoke to activate blind-spots and neutralize opposing arguments.

IMO, the reason people are extroverted is mostly because they enjoy the emotional validation which social interactions provide (both inbound and outbound). Unfortunately, this tends to cloud their judgment.

That said, the zero percent interest rate economy has given extroverts a massive advantage since it has made it possible to profit from emotional thinking... People made a lot of money from companies like Facebook, Twitter, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Bored Apes NFTs, real estate in trendy inner-city suburbs... Most people got into these assets with an investment thesis of "My friends agree this is cool!"

In a proper, functioning economy that kind of investment thesis typically wouldn't pan out... Certainly not to such extent as we have witnessed.

> If you wanna improve your economy you want to attract companies and investors who fund companies and create well paying jobs

That takes effort, and within the EU all the major regional consultancies like KPMG, PWC, McKinsey, etc have already been hired by Czechia, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Hungary, etc to build and manage a mixture of Tax Holidays and FTZs/SEZs for tech companies.

For example, if I as a foreign tech company open a tech hub in Prague that hires at least 10 employees and spends $200k on assets, the Czech govt gives me a $8k per employee and gives me a 10 year corporate income tax holiday (so I end up saving an additional $8-10k per employee).

Romania, Poland, Estonia, Bulgaria, Hungary, etc all have similar programs as well.

Eastern Europe also benefited from immigration from Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine - ime at least 30-40% of headcount in these EU CEE offices are from those 3 countries.

Portugal is too late in the game. It isn't attractive enough for white collar immigrants in the Lusaphone (they can always immigrate to higher paying Boston) nor can it compete with Spain's support for industrial and pharma manufacturing and R&D. Nor can they compete with the Eastern European programs above which are already extremely generous because they are trying to compete with similar Israeli and Indian programs from 20-30 years ago.
