The article is well written (not just some blog) so I appreciate some time has been invested, though still not buying it. I think with all of the frumpy attitude with temperaments (I don't think we should be pigeon holed either, though they're useful), these aspects have not been properly explored. Further, one point mentions color and mood as abstract, when these are actually emotional.

The second and the fourth parameters of the kiersey system addresses these "perception" and "enactment" qualities. (How we internalize and express.)

This is the tricky thing with studying the human mind and behavior! We're so dynamic.
I was noodling in this area recently, trying to speed up some code similar to the tr utility:

For an eight-bit character set, I found that building an array to map every character improved on linear search, even for short replacement strings and relatively short input strings.

There isn't as easy a win for Unicode, so I played with some simple hash tables. Although the conventional wisdom is to use the high-order bits of a hash function's output, FNV-1a is not so good for short inputs of one or two bytes. (I used the 32-bit variant.) It was better just to use the low-order bits.

I've replaced an industrial windows workstation with PI + Avalonia in a factory. Way more compact, you don't have to care about Windows anymore. Is the PI industrial grade? No, but we have a spare PI ready, and SSD with preinstalled OS. So you can fix everything in a matter of minutes.

Although I had to rewrite the software, because the original was WinForms, it was a pretty simple application.

“If you’re doing nothing wrong, what is there to fear?” “I’m fearing your definition of wrong.”

I think this sums it up perfectly.
Sadly only works when applied in good faith. Some respond with what they wanted to hear, or their own straw man shell of your argument. Afraid I'm guilty of this sometimes.
It's an interesting thought, but team size varies greatly at Amazon in practice.
IME Apple's web apps are piles of pain and garbage.
Timezones still play a huge part here as well. My team has several engineers who are at par compared to the rest of the team but they're a pain to work with due to a 10 Hour time difference.They may be paid 50% less but they're 50% harder to work with to no real fault of their own
As someone who's not a frontend developer, this was definitely faster for me than writing it without any AI, although it did still take an hour or two to get the exact details and literal corner cases correct.

From doing a lot of coding with AI I've built up a pretty good intuition of what's faster to do by hand (changing some hyperparameters, or fixing a 1 line bug) and what's faster for the AI.

In this case, I started in 2D and added complexity bit by bit. Being able to say "Now make it 3D" and have that just mostly work in 10s was pretty wild.
Hi, we wanted to showcase some work we have been doing on an AI model, hoping to get some interesting impressions.

This article is not about that at all. It's about patients that need to be admitted (ie they DO need hospital treatment) being stuck in ERs because the hospital has no beds.
Is the primary purpose of higher education to develop the skills needed in the workforce?

If that is the case, then the employers dependent on that workforce need to support it.

Perhaps AI is teaching industry that they can no longer depend on a free lunch.
Lithium has atomic number 3 and, along with Hydrogen and Helium, was present (at a much lower level) in the early universe. The Earth's crust contains about 20-70 parts per million (ppm) of lithium. It may be tedious to extract, but it is not like we will ever run out.
Peterson has a public persona and schtick, based on what stuck after throwing things at the wall a while. Now he's cashing in on that. Diverging too far risks putting his earnings at risk, even if he doesn't consciously think that way.

Pastors often fall into these ruts. They often want to help. The toolbox limits them, audience expectations limit them, their own financial needs depend upon telling people things that won't make them too uncomfortable, and their (ancient) world view has to harmonize with a (modern) world that doesn't fit.

This was particularly bad at Meta pre-efficiency push Zuck. There was huge bloat that was counterproductive. Empire builders were incentivized by promotions based on the size of their orgs.

One thing the article didn't mention is how crucial it is for a team to have focus and to ruthlessly prioritize. It's easier for bigger teams to fall into the trap of doing "busy work" and people fighting for scope on their performance reviews. This is the worst possible outcome for company and employee where you have work driven by optics vs value.

It's only cheating if it's not allowed.

My Students are allowed to do theyr homework with ai. But it's not theoretical assignments, but doing projects. I assume that being able to use AI in the future work is a important part, so they should use it early and experiment with it during study. Just because calculators got invented math didnt just vanish, they had to adapt what to teach and how to do assignments.

The ones who struggle the most are the ones that do the same assignments since 20 years and now are confronted with a new tool that makes theyr tests obsolete.
You have s home snd a nice one most likely. The typical ER "frequent flyer" does not. Many are unhoused or members of the renter class, or living with parents/caregivers/etc...

I think it would he interesting to compare teal estate prices and rent with ER overcrowding. My guess is few of the surplus patients own nice homes.

Yeah that's the right terminology. I knew it when I said citizens it wasn't quite right but I blanked on the right answer. 'Residents' is pretty obvious.

I agree it's worth knowing just enough about celsius to use it casually when you are traveling. e.g. I just remember 20 is room temperature and every 5C is about 10F. Close enough. And remembering '6' is enough to remember how km and miles are related.

Anyone who is settling abroad ought to be able to pick up intuitive celsius in a couple days. When everyone around you uses the same measuring unit, you adapt pretty quickly IME.
This is a good overview on some of the environmental impacts:

Unfortunately, I don't understand what this article is trying to say, but I respect the author and made a diligent attempt.

Yes, open source is now common place.

But I sometimes wonder if it, too, is a market failure, in that many projects are governed by, or mostly funded by, single entities, e.g. Facebook (React), Google (Flutter, Go, Android), Docker (Docker), and so on...

Is C++ a better example of open source, with broad industry contributions?

What about WebAssembly? Major browsers (Chromium) can pretty much refuse to support some functionality, and that'll be the end of that. The power centralization has severe consequences for openness.

I'm not convinced that community/industry-driven public-good type of FOSS will continue to flourish.
If anything, I worry that we'll end up with a bunch of "open source" projects that in reality have built-in limitations (or as the author said "a carefully engineered bottleneck"), that prevent truly open adoption (like HashiCorp preventing contributions that compete with their commercial edition feature offering).

I hadn't really considered how offering free ebike charging is a great way to drum up business for cafés and diners. Maybe even "validate" charging like parking with a purchase.

Why not stop for a meal or drink while your bike charges for 45 minutes? Doubley true if you are more rural/small town.
So there is a trick - don't look at people's pupils. Look at their eyelids or eyebrows, or the bridge of their nose. It is close enough to eye contact that it won't be uncomfortable for you. Most people do not stare directly into each other's eyes - they just look in that general direction.

And think about this a bit - if you feel defeated after talking to people who stare into your eyes... is that how you want people to feel after talking to you? Maybe it is just as well not to be one of the people with piercing eye contact.

There are even programs these days where people are sent home while still technically being admitted to a hospital, with a nurse coming by on a regular basis to administer medications, change dressings, provide other needed care, etc. Doctors are involved via teleconference when needed.
They have ? Tesla has made aggressive price cuts in the last year or so .

Yes, partly it was to simulate demand, but they can only afford to do so because of their costs going down.

Tesla has not been spending on a lot of new models recently , but they have been spending heavily on making them cheaper and better.

I have a three year old Brother laser printer and for the longest time, I had problems using the wireless printing feature. My laptop would recognize the printer, install it but fail to print. Only using the USB cable it would work. Three months ago, I found the printer web UI using nmap and found there was an ‘update’ with a date of 2020 on it (so before I bought the printer) and I installed it and wireless printing now works flawlessly :-)

Ask HN: A gentle introduction to type systems?
Hey HN!

Just from writing applications in both python, typescript and rust I have developed a tacit understanding of the different type systems.

Typescript is very expressive and the ts-ignore is a nice escape hatch when you want to make something work first and then get the types to line up later. Rust doesn't have that and it's a kinda hard to make stuff quickly. Python just has horrible types – I run into type related issues at runtime all the time but probably a skill issue on my part.

I was wondering – is there a book that's like a gentle introduction to type systems? Everyone keeps recommending me text books and tbh I don't have time to go through it. But I would like to have a somewhat surface level understanding of how the "pros" talk about type systems. What does TS have that Python doesn't and why is Rust more aggressive than TS?

Not trying to make my compiler but just trying to develop a formal understanding of various type systems and how they differ.
But is that actually what human memory is like? AFAIK nobody actually understands the internals. The "philosophers of the mind" who claim to know are the ones guilty of arrogance, not those who don't cite them.
Does it appear native? And I keep hearing that even though swing is really old, it has better performance and that it’s used by IntelliJ. Not sure though
Funny thing I just realized: russkies is a Russian-to-English borrowing with exactly the same kind of double plural as e.g. чипсы čipsy “potato crisps/chips”, an English-to-Russian one (a number of other Slavic languages do this as well, or so I’ve heard). That is, russkie is already a (nominative) plural in the source language (the nominative singular is russkij m, russkaâ f, russkoe n; it’s a nominalized adjective, thus the gendered forms). Presumably it doesn’t sound plural to the speaker of the target language, so(?) one more plural ending it gets. The only other Slavic-to-English example of this sort I know is pierogis, from Polish (the nominative singular form is pieróg). Any others?
When this problem comes up in code-related documentation at work, I often fall back onto either a distinct typeface or a background-color shift.

That way it's clearer when I'm referring to a literal code-string versus quote marks that are part of the prose.

This seems like saying "Synonyms are a big reason that humans fall short."

Part of what makes AI interesting is that it can understand a huge number of differently phrased data. It seems like different token encodings would only be a very minor complexity compared to the variety of human language.

Ask HN: Where are the good resources for learning audio processing?
I'm trying to program a harmonizer, like Jacob Collier's one built by MIT's Ben Bloomberg. I am looking for good, accessible resources on pitch shifting (whilst still sounding natural) and other terms I've heard like format shifting.

Where are some good resources for this for somebody with extensive programming experience but no experience in audio processing?
On the one hand, "good". Higher education needs a rethinking. ROI is all out of whack for too many students. On the other hand, calculators didn't destroy math education. We're probably not more than 3 years away from some form of AI being better than 80 percent of teachers for most grade levels and subjects.
Yes, but only from first principles, and my first rule is always "measure it, then explain it, lest you look foolish". TL;DR: 100% worth it

(claim to knowledge: from time on Android watches, incl. building an automated power testing framework at Google, left in October)

- Power cost optimization is found by handwaving avoiding something spinning up, or due to very long actions (i.e. 5+ seconds)

- The GPU is already running if a frame is due to be rendered.

- If we're running drawing code that draws a stroke, a frame is due to be rendered. Therefore the additional cost to run the stroke render can be considered infinitesimal

- Its unintuitive how much power savings can be achieved by "racing to zero" (i.e. doing something faster)

- The algorithm is a better racer to zero because it runs in parallel
I'm of the opinion is that even most of the enemies are made up by the agencies, both in terms of creating, enabling, supporting and amplifying them, and in making you worried about them.
To support your point, I think the role of memory in creative work is highly underrated.

I’ve seen up close a few people who could fairly be described as “most creative researchers in the world” (in my field at least) according to metrics such as h-index and Nobel prizes. It always strikes me how essential exceptional memory is to what they do — they have detailed, immediate recall of the problems in their field and, to the extent this recall is no longer present, then they are no longer producing groundbreaking work. Their recall of facts outside the field is often nothing special.

Imagination, creativity, intelligence all seem to rely on memory in order to operate.
Indeed, learning how to memorize is how I finally got my stride in math. I was already good at proofs and problem solving. But constantly having to dig for stuff was hobbling me.

The problem with making this case is that the threats are kind of stochastic. Usually what happens to an individual is that either a mistake occurs or some unpredictable factor changes to suddenly get them targeted. I had a relative who was blindsided by identity theft, fending off creditors for bills that were in her name because she was in some breach (I think maybe the sony one? Often not even easy to say how it happened). This is a consequence of erosion of privacy. American Muslims didn't have any more inkling that 9/11 would happen than anyone else, but suddenly received a ton of suspicion from both crazy wingnuts and actual government agencies despite often having "nothing to hide". Trans people who wanted to assimilate and blend in have by and large been blindsided by the massive increase in scrutiny they've gotten from random people and increasingly lawmakers in the last few years in much of the western world, because some machinations of internet culture made the right wing start thinking about them a lot all of a sudden in the last decade.

You can't really predict what factor is gonna get you targeted. You also can't predict the particular manner in which data that's being collected about you will be used to harm you. Sometimes it's about secrets you'd want to keep private, but often it's about correlations drawn that may even be wrong. Like if public sentiment or government scrutiny were to turn against tech in a huge way, maybe even just a post history on hackernews existing for you, regardless of what's in it, correlates you to some kind of cybercrime they're pursuing with a dragnet, and this gets your credit pinged when you try to buy a house, and someone freezes your bank account because something's going on here and we should just lock it down to be safe until we figure this out. Who knows? The erosion of privacy is a powderkeg that makes everyone more vulnerable to these sorts of things, but the effects aren't felt by everyone all at once, but chaotically based on circumstances beyond your control, sometimes even truly random ones. I can't predict the actual threat model that will become relevant to you because the attack surface is enormous already and the problem is about how it's ever-growing

It's hard to convince people that "you are more likely to be targeted and there is more that can be done if you are but it may never happen to you in particular and there's basically no way to know" is something they should care about. Intuitive risk assessment that our brains are good at can't fucking fathom the world we actually currently live in. Nonetheless, that is the form risk takes, and you should care about factors that expose you to it, even probabilistically
