A practical introduction to constraint programming using CP-SAT and Python
None of what’s in this comment or others reflects my experience at all. I work in DC and have had many colleagues who live in downtown Baltimore and Baltimore suburbs, even suburbs north of Baltimore. They have been Orioles fans. Some have driven, others take commuter rail. I live in a suburb that is closer to DC but the commuter pattern on the highway reflects traffic flow to the Baltimore area in the morning and away from it in the evening. My wife and I work in downtown DC and we live closer to DC than Baltimore, but we routinely attend cultural and recreational events in Baltimore and of course fly from the Baltimore airport. We had memberships in the National Aquarium (in Baltimore) and have taken our kids to the Maryland Zoo. They have never been to the National Zoo in DC.

Baltimore and DC are absolutely one metro, just like Dallas/Fort Worth and Minneapolis/Saint Paul. That two cities have distinct identities doesn’t mean they aren’t one metro.
How to Catch a Lab Leak
This is essentially what I’ve done, having started 15 years ago with Ruby on Rails and now leading development of most ML-related applications at my current job. I’ve been interested in ML since 2017 or so, just found it interesting.
I wouldn't even suggest a solution. Let the people thousands of years in the future figure it out. Working out solutions now is like asking people from the time of Jesus what we should do about the clock for a worldwide computerized network.

You do know that Apple is basically the original author of WebGPU, right (together with Mozilla)?

And your fantasy of Apple deliberately avoiding it is based on what exactly?

Mine are like yours in that I am never certain where and when I am in real life. But they don't last very long, I become too conscious and wakeup or just go with the flow and forget being lucid. They rarely last very long to think and experiment.

But in situations like yours, I am never sure where I am in my real life. I know that its a dream and I am sleep, but where and when are never certain.
That's awesome. I also took inspiration from Lichess for https://woogles.io - a way to play a Scrabble-like word game online that is also open source, AGPL, etc. (Also like yours, written in Go!) It's hosted a number of big tournaments and I believe we're about to hit 6M total games (5.984 million so far! within the next day or two). Computer analysis with a WASM program that is going to improve, etc. I hope bgammon achieves a lot of success; I've always wanted to learn backgammon and will give it a try.
Most platforms have a POSIX implementation, and a place for the POSIX shell (which standardizes job control that originated in Bill Joy's csh).

This includes Microsoft, who was the biggest UNIX vendor of the 80s with their Xenix series that was sold to SCO.

Microsoft Windows NT also implements a POSIX subsystem, which has waxed and waned over the life of Windows. The POSIX shell is quite relevant to modern Windows, and is worthy of study by any serious user.

Sure. But the title and article are about a "power-efficient VM host", not a powerful general-purpose repairable desktop. This is probably not the best (or worst) way to host a VM using minimal power.

> You've reached a situation where campaigning for the whole world to change the way it measures time is simpler than fixing your code?

It isn't just a code problem. Since leap seconds aren't predictable, you have to somehow distribute information about new leap seconds to everything, which is especially difficult for devices that aren't connected to the Internet.

And as the article mentioned, there are multiple ways to deal with leap seconds, and there are tradeoffs involved in choosing which one, and depending on the circumstance different ways. And since different methods work best in different situations, that can result in inconsistencies between different systems.
You’d love watching Ancient Apocalypse on Netflix. It essentially tracks this experience globally.
They aren't always. I got lucky one time, I read about lucid dreaming techniques and when I fell asleep was able to use one. The dream was otherwise a nightmare but when it became lucid that stopped being a consideration. What I remember is immediately trying to fly, succeeding somewhat, then finding that my attempts to exert control over the dream were waking me up (which I guess is a not uncommon experience).
The same thing was covered by Raymond Chen almost 2 decades ago:

They replaced the android app recently. I haven't experienced this bug with the new one.
You didn't suggest a better way (for at home). I explained why. VM hosts need processing power, good thermals, and reparability.

Actually, the Monster / Red Bull used during concerts/sports events/etc are just water in branded cans. It's called "Tour Water" and some of them can be bought by consumers at https://www.monstertourwater.com/en-us/

So just because you see athletes drinking "Gatorade" doesn't mean it's the same Gatorade that's sold in stores. It could be just water, or closer to the low-sugar original Gatorade formula with significant amounts of potassium and sodium added that the retail product lacks.
It sounds like you’re importing a lot of other information that the article simply doesn’t cover or even support.
Author of Skunk Works? Is it related to Lockheed Martin Skunk Works division?
Same for the most part. I get the rare "super lucid" dream where it's almost 1:1 to being awake, but 99% of the time it's like how you describe.

I think this is because our brains will happily "predict the next token". We've never evolved to have to consider doing anything else. So when you're asleep and placed into a scenario with some context associated with yourself, the brain does the natural thing and performs prediction.

Yeah, calendar invites are a big one. But also the ease of being able to manage sharing via Drive (and be automatically alerted when a Google account owner can't access it), co-edit in Docs (and tagging in comments there), being able to use it as SSO in many places, and having all of that synced to your browser and managed by your Workspace admin. It's the ecosystem that's extremely valuable, not necessarily any individual app.
Similar to my experience. I also find my control of my body is still somewhat linked to my real body.

For example, one way of maintaining and strengthening the lucid experience is supposedly spinning around in place with your arms spread. When I do that, I find a dream sensation that feels a bit like my arms trying to move out from under my pillow or caught in the sheets. I then wake up shortly after that.

Other times I'll know I'm lucid and can do some tricks, but still feel a bit limited, whether by the dream or my beliefs of what I think I can do in the dream. I cannot manifest scenery or people. Mostly I can get a small hop glide for flying, sometimes I can shoot a magic projectile. This may be due to limited control and practice.
I would give the exact opposite advice - data engineering is one of the least rewarding or respected career paths.
Nice work team, nice writeup by Tom McWright.

> next we’ll be talking about our new TypeScript SDK, which is generated directly from the OpenAPI documents that fastify produces

Our team really needs to get in this, for just our internal services! We write so many fetch & superagent calls, again and again and again! Looking forward to this writeup.
When I lucid dream, usually I also have the ability to "fly" and in time I learned one thing. As much as I love to use the "fly" ability to explore, I must not steer too far away from the point I am currently. Otherwise I can examine in quite vivid details the stuff around but if I leap too far it's like my mind says "sorry dude, you've reached end of simulation area, here's where you wake up".
Brand building actually sounds good and productive to me, as long as it doesn’t approach fraud.

If your audience likes your brand and doesn’t distinguish between your services and services done by more competent providers, then you’ve found your niche. So: snake oil is not fine; but Supreme branded brick sounds ok to me, even if I wouldn’t buy it myself.

I guess the author will find followers who enjoy that approach to software and product growth. If spamming wasn’t part of it, I’d be ok.
Yeah. You can practice lucid dreaming. I was a (not born, learned) lucid dreamer a few years ago, then I got into college and my sleep schedule got messed up, so I don't do it anymore. Had I learned DILD (dream-induced lucid dreaming) techniques I could continue but those require constant daytime effort no matter how little. I was lazy and went with WILD methods, and they work wonders when you have a consistent sleep schedule.

Can attest that lucid dreams are as detailed and real as real life. Can't tell the difference. In one of my first attempts, I had a 30 minutes long lucid dream (I was able to precisely measure.). You know the feeling of wonder and awe? You feel it for at most a few minutes at a time usually. I was in constant amazement all through the whole half an hour. Because against my expectations, everything was as real as the real world. The texture of the ground beneath your feet, the feeling of air when you move fast, the taste when you eat. The weight and texture of stuff when you touch, the feeling of your own weight on your feet when you stand. The sun shining, reflections, brightness. Human eye level perfect quality and detail when you look. This feeling of awe didn't went away for me, I still get it when I LD.

There was a thread about it recently, I wrote there some more: About learning resources too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38399548
This would be great to load up onto an RPi and put into a kids toy. Maybe use it to pimp up one of those toddler steering wheel sets.

isnt this more of a mythical man month issue

"adding manpower to a software project that is behind schedule delays it even longer"

we need more doctors and more cashiers

more doctors, and more cashiers will solve the queue issue at hospitals or at stores

problem is .. "mythical man month" .. adding more developers wont solve the problem

this article possibly misses the point, it doesnt suggest adding more devs whic is good i guess, it just suggest doing less work .. because you will do less anyways, so why do it while stressed, when you can do it while relaxed .. so you end up doing more or less the same, but with higher morale, all of this is good, but it doesnt solve the real problem .. "HOW TO DO MORE"

(you can of course decentralize your team, decouple your products, add more teams, etc.. but .. well)
Fun! Would be funner if it handled the money shift.
Yesterday I was a having a very visual trip down the memory lane (2 decade old) while in the process of sleeping. And this memory was triggered by a smell. I was enjoying the memory (an old house and streets I was trying to remember in detail). This didn't make me lucid though, wasn't even trying to be anyway.

But having actually followed the process, I can now understand how it can help with lucidity.
Yeah, no.

If I know what my data look like, I can choose an order of summation that reduces the error. I wouldn't want the compiler by default to assume associativity and introduce bugs. There's a reason this reordering is disabled by default
Is this just a paper or can I run the program and generate some stuff?
With the previous android app, not the one they just launched last month, i had a similar issue (it would take ages to load an email), clearing the cache in the settings had solved it though.
> The only list where you might find it is in the newly registered domains.

No registration anywhere needed, they'll find you, because you have an IP address. I've set up enough machines without any registration and some hours after they got connected, the usual suspects showed up.

And regarding bots: even if machines don't have e.g. PHP installed, they'll see oodles of attempts to access links ending in *.php. That's the place where I liked to offer randomly encrypted linux kernels for them to digest ;-)

If it helps, there's a little example of using the bash API with bash variables/arrays, should give you an idea of how it could be to use: https://github.com/h4l/json.bash/blob/main/examples/notify.s...

This example uses the pattern of setting an out=varname when calling a json function, the encoded JSON goes into $varname variable. This pattern avoids the overhead of forking processes (e.g. subshells) when generating JSON.

Otherwise you can use the more normal approach of jb writing to stdout, and capturing the output stream.
Civilized people walk into the incinerator alive.
You've thrown this out like they're in conflict, when they're really two aspects of the same dynamic. Personally, honor culture makes people down double on the denial of how they can withstand whatever comes their way, rather than admitting some things are larger than what they can individually deal with. Politically, the destruction and impoverishment pushes people more rightward as they try to hold on to what they do have.

I think that's the key also in terms of team size, if you don't have a dedicated team to take care of training / running a model then it makes sense to use an existing API and pay for it until you have enough scale.
Ask HN: Does IT still run on Java 8?
I'm referring of course to the evergreen https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19877916 .

I'm also wondering out of concern for my career, both now and in the future. I like Java, and I think I want to dive deep into it over the next 5-10 years to provide a solid economic baseline for my family. I know the time I can dedicate to self-study, and even the speed at which I can absorb new concepts, will slowly diminish over that time, so I'd like to make a bet on something I'm somewhat confident will last, even if it doesn't get paid the most or look the shiniest to new generations of programmers. Other languages and ecosystems I've looked into for this purpose are PHP, Python, and good old fashioned C/C++.

> the whole "pretending not to be a component library" gimmick

Literally the first line says that it's a component library :)

Snark aside, I'm gonna defend Radix Themes. I agree that the configurations they show on their website aren't great (and also that they should pay more attention to pixel alignment), but they have the most consistent structure I've seen, with well-defined tokens, great composability and flexibility for overrides.

I've found that, with the parameters they provide, I can get a design that is close to what I would've done myself anyways. Eventually, I guess I'll look into adding some light overrides to add a bit more shadow and fix some of the rougher edges.

You don't always diagnose on conditional probabilities (a simple example is looking at an x-ray of a broken bone - no priors needed to spot the broken bone).

Your knowledge guides, but it also doesn't (or shouldn't) blind you.

If you, as a suspicious person, is thinking about USING stalkerware, you have already lost the moral and ethical position and should bow out of the relationship. Failure to do so makes you a colossal arsehole and an abject failure of a person where healthy relationships are concerned.

About the only legitimate use case I could possibly think of is if the VICTIM of abuse used the software against their abuser to accumulate evidence of non-physical (texting, phoning, online stalking, etc.) abuse. And even this is thin ground, as IIRC most courts would not accept that data as evidence as it constitutes a crime in many jurisdictions.

That doesn't track. As long as the project is generating at least a single dollar (TVM-adjusted) and you're not constrained on resources (SWEs, labs, etc.) that could be reassigned to higher yielding projects, that's all the justification you need.
Everything is best enjoyed in moderation. The current consensus among the LD community is the same: Lucid dreams aren't as charging as normal ones. There's no scientific definitive answer but many think it's because the prefrontal cortex is 'turned on' in LD while it remains off in normal dreams.

We did that here in Seattle, where we have the longest floating bridge in the world, SR 520 across Lake Washington: tolls stopped in 1979 after construction was paid off.

Alas, tolling resumed in 2011, to pay for the complete reconstruction of the bridge. This time we are probably stuck with it, since WSDOT has grown inordinately fond of tolling as a traffic-management tool.

I’ve been taking magnesium for a couple months now and one thing a I’ve noticed is that the line between wakefulness and asleep has blurred. I will sometimes watch some TV and I’ll be sitting there watching an episode and don’t realize I’ve fallen asleep and this is a dream until weird things start happening in the show. I often imagine floating outside my house (similar to what the article describes) as a method to fall asleep and since starting magnesium my thoughts softly blend into full blown dreams. My dreams in general have been far more lucid.

I’ve only noticed one other side effect. I normally experience hypnogogic jerk and since starting magnesium, a few times the jerk itself has pulled me out of the descent into sleep.
