> If I wasn’t clear enough I hope I am now.

I'm afraid "much about anything." is still too vague to tell :)

No need to bring out the "immoral" card – yes, there definitely exist gvt policies (incl. tax) that tip a critical number of that country's skilled workers over into emigration. We're not talking Depardieu or "laptop tourists", we're talking local construction workers FFS.

Observing the tug-of-war HN votes on my post, some people must have taken that footnote as a cue for their ideological warfare du jour. Poor-vs-rich! Pitchforks now!

- "Fixation on taxation levels"… from my "whether [tax is] 20% or 48% cannot be the answer"? How?

- "loves to see low income taxes fore them as an universal band aid for the entire economy"… from my "Clearly Portugal's problems are much deeper than that, going back to 1974 […] Portugal's bureaucracy is legendary"? How?

With all due respect I think the fixation is yours. I have lived in Austria (my sister still lives there) and I have lived in Portugal. There are a lot of issues under the surface in both. Different histories, different trajectories. No need to attack strawmen.

If you have specific insights on the situation in Portugal (beyond Rinzler89's "just create jobs and spend existing taxes more wisely" :eyeroll:), I'd love to hear them. This is a topic close to my heart, I still love Portugal.

Actually you seem a little confused, let me clarify: It's true for debts already incurred, but not for transactions that haven't already happened. That's what legal tender means.

So this would apply to for example, a postpaid sit-down restaurant meal -- when the bill comes, you offer cash and if it's turned down your debt is settled. That's the law.

There is generally no requirement to agree to accept cash prior to making the transaction though, as at a counter service place where you pay as you get the food. They would be in their rights to refuse to hand over the food and ask you to leave.

And that's why you see a lot of cash free counter places now, but not sit down postpaid. It would be impractical to refuse to take cash once the food has already been eaten.

Hope this helps.
Definitely a pet peeve of mine that “ChatGTP” entered the popular lexicon as the name for all OpenAI models, when it’s just a web interface for running LLM models, not a specific model- and the different models have vastly different capabilities.
Have you seen this done anywhere? I have to wonder if it would even have any impact

i think the issue is more that you feel the need to label anything which does not comply with your ideological view as evil/bigoted/wrong. if it would be a minor issue i hope you wouldn't feel the need to insult and slander volunteers based on simply not agreeing with you, if not i fear what you do to people you have big issues with.

The mentioned TUMuchdata requires a signed form, in German, handed over in person (not email) to join their community.

I think this is not required to just attend one of their events. The events are at the university campus which is quite off, and makes it relatively inconvenient to get there if you are not at the university anyway.

So, I guess they found a viable filter.
As a rule I’m happy to sacrifice cycles for determinism, because non-deterministic bugs are disproportionately wasteful of developer time.

As much as possible I want my code to give the same results from one run to the next.

Some sources of non-determinism are unavoidable, but e.g. unordered maps and unstable sorts both have deterministic alternatives that are almost as performant.

Maps are such a common data structure that eliminating unordered maps has a big impact on whole program reproducibility.
Strikes me as sensationalized pessimism. As Tyler Cowen often says, given the right conditions "supply is elastic". Big discoveries recently in South and North America might make this a very temporary thing.

No, it means they tested an obsolete version and got irrelevant results.
Yeah, it annoys me that a lot of functional programming stuff kind of fell into cryptocurrency startups.

There definitely is interesting enough tech behind crypto, but a lot of these talks end up kind of devolving into why their product is amazing and better than all the other coins and why you should invest in their ICO.
From my understanding, a panic was the result of more than a hundred people being violently killed by an animal. Not by “the media”.

There is not one mention of werewolf in how it describes the happenings of the time, only when talking about the game.

Very clickbaity title trying to get the attention of those that like to blame “the media” for everything
Great example:

“ Ptolemy and his astronomical ancestors explained these “retrograde” motions with the extra loops you see in the map above called “epicycles.” By the 15th century astronomers had accumulated centuries of meticulous measurements and incorporated them into complex orbital paths, matching their observations. Learning these models and taking enough measurements to improve one of them took an entire lifetime of monastic devotion to studying the stars. The burden of knowledge was immense.

But then, Copernicus came along with the heliocentric model which, in its simplest initial form, made worse prediction than the tuned-up Ptolemaic model. But the burden of knowledge was dissolved in an instant. Improving the Copernican model meant shifting orbital paths from perfect circles to ellipses. It had nothing to do with the epicycles and perihelions of the Ptolemaic model and none of that burdensome knowledge was necessary to expand the frontier anew.”
With aids, we can perceive and notice even smaller intervals. I play a lot of Fortnite Festival, which is the Rock Band-style mode added near the end of the year. This game, unlike any previous game in the genre, has "perfect" judgements for note hits. The window for a perfect judgement is something around 20 or 30ms. The game also gives you an average offset from "dead on" for each song, measured in milliseconds. Since the perfect judgement is immediate feedback, it enables players to perceive when they are just a few milliseconds off and correct for it. I regularly get average offset results of +/- 3ms or better, including plenty of 0ms average offsets (this is of course averaged across all notes in a song, which I am playing on a plastic guitar on Expert difficulty).

I'm nowhere close to the best player either, there's one player who recently got one of the most impressive full combos of the Metallica song One that could ever be done - they hit all notes without mistake, they got 100% perfect judgements, and they got the #1 leaderboard score, meaning that not only did they hit all notes within the 20-30ms "perfect" window, but they also "squeezed" overdrive activations within that window to activate and hit the first note as late as possible, and hit the first note after that overdrive activation would end as early as possible to still get it under the extra 2x score multiplier that overdrive brings.

The game genre also overcomes the relatively huge (in the context) human reaction time by providing you gems to read before the strikeline (or "now bar"), so that you can basically internally correct for your reaction time, similar to how people reading sheet music can perform in lockstep rhythm when everyone is skilled.

It's amazing what different forms of augmentation can do to help paper over the inherent shortcomings in our senses.
I'm doing pretty great "pairing" with ChatGPT.

I don't need help coding. That's my core skill!

But I do need a lot of help with how packages/libraries/languages work, and ChatGPT can usually give a decent answer in a minute that could have taken me hours of deeply frustrating searches.
Using significant figures to carry the information of both an estimate and confidence simply does not commute with unit conversions. It's a nice hack, but its not principled.

It's a little bit unfair to say that this mission was just about nutrition – apparently there were simulated stressors, although I wish there were more details about what there.

So RISC-V isn't enough for you? ;-)

More seriously, it does seem like there were a number of interesting systems research and development collaborations in the 1980s: BSD at Berkeley, Athena at MIT, Andrew at CMU, etc.

Currently it seems like the interest, funding, opportunities, and incentives for academic researchers are largely for short-term projects and AI/ML rather than long-term, ongoing systems projects. The modern funding and publishing landscape seems to emphasize speed and quantity over quality and impact.

Moreover, it seems that companies with deep pockets (Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia) may be less likely to collaborate with and/or fund academic projects as IBM and DEC did in the 1980s. It could be that those partnerships weren't hugely beneficial for AT&T, IBM and DEC's businesses.
Thanks, this is good context; I had no idea that the L2 cache used to be on the motherboard.

And yeah, my comparison is completely missing IPC, but that's difficult to quantify... ideally we'd have something like Geekbench results from both, but I struggled to find comparable benchmarks.
> I tried finding information on the precision of the DV record and couldn't

More than you could possible want to know, but: https://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/an-invest...

Long story short… both the precision and accuracy are very questionable, but not due to the instrumentation. The observer at that station during that time period was not doing a very good job.

As far as precision specifically, During the period that observer was recording the station:

> When rain fell at the ranch, recorded amounts were almost invariably in the amounts of 0.01”, 0.10”, 0.20”, and 0.30”.

Whatever the instruments did (and that article makes a pretty conclusive case for them not having hit 134F), the observer recording them seems to have often filled in values that “felt right”, carried over previous days readings when he missed one, and just kind of eyeballed the actual measurements.
> #1 was always keeping the company's interests in mind

While I understand your intent on saying this, I think the reaction you get is because that is essentially a Sycophant which historically for the past known duration of human history has thrown vulnerable people under the bus in order to make the powerful more powerful.

I think what you probably want to say is that as a manager you should balance the 3. If you have to sacrifice the wellbeing of your employees or yourself for the company, well maybe the company isn't worth it. Also your employees probably don't like knowing you are making sacrifices for them instead of setting boundaries for yourself in order to take care of yourself. Nobody likes a martyr.

Especially in the tech world were theoretically you can leave a job and find a new one that doesn't conflict with this balance.

The general view in 2024 at least in my circles is to establish boundaries, find balance. Not blindly make the company your "#1 priority" in every decision.
> safe haven for moderate bigots and regressive types

That's an interesting interpretation. Considering that the project has several trans developers and even a handful of (biological) women I'm going to suggest another interpretation: They're not trying to be a safe haven for bigots, they just don't want the endless CoC/pronouns bikeshedding that plagues too many projects these days.
> Not only that but 250ms is the average reaction time of a human, you don't notice an extra 5 milliseconds.

Please stop repeating this sort of thing as a simple fact.
Time and latency are difficult things to reason about and simple explanations sound particularly convincing when one lacks an intuitive understanding of the subject.

Perceived latency is not the same thing as "reaction time".
What reaction was measured? How? From what stimulus?
Your reaction time number does not support your claim that humans can't notice a 5ms difference in lag.

In any case, you are misunderstanding and misrepresenting the comment you replied to.

When you are talking about an organisation like Youtube (size, money, mercenary, malicious, etc.) and discussing metrics like this, individual milliseconds is not an unreasonable unit to use. Consider the volume of the data. Nobody is saying that if something takes 5ms longer to load that no single human being will be capable of waiting for it anymore.

Further, your 250ms is perfectly in the range of the parent comment's order of magnitude of hundreds of milliseconds.
i don't think this technology new. beeen using wifi access points that have this feature for the past 2 years (by a company called plume). it doesn't differentiate between individuals but its smart enough to ignore pets and to know when your smartphone is out of wifi range that you are not home and send you notifications for movements inside your home.
Yes I’ve done psychedelics, though I don’t really trace my (reluctant) belief in panpsychism to that.

Psychedelics are really great at showing you just how much “work” consciousness is doing, and just how fungible all of its contents are. And the most important insight, which is that everything “out there” in the world — everything you experience — is actually an internal, subjective representation.

The way I’ve described it is that we’re all in our own sensoriums, but that is generally totally opaque to us. Psychedelics can temporarily knock that sensorium askew — enough to notice that it’s there all the time and doesn’t have to be configured the way that it happens to be.

The reason I have reluctantly come to believe in panpsychism is because I haven’t heard anything close to a better explanation of when, where, and why “the lights are on.” There’s no reason to think there’s something special about brain matter in particular. There’s probably something special about information processing, but then: what is information processing? Information is just a local reduction in entropy, and all sorts of things are doing that in all sorts of ways all over the universe.
It's not just a plug, but the willingness of the facility to give you a safe place to park your bike, lock it, and charge it. Even simple bike racks are often hard to find in the US, as are publicly-accessible outlets, much less the two together.

Well, I did it for 25 years, so I guess it lasted.

> Mars seems more like a high boredom environment.

Something tells me that the first few thousand people sent to Mars won't be bored. There will be tons of things to do in the pursuit of making a habitable space.

Besides that, you have the constant death factor. I know we all live with risk 24/7. But, unless we're doing something outside our comfort zone, our brains largely ignore it. Living on Mars will not be like that for a settler. There are real risks that some piece of equipment will fail and kill you all. You'll likely be well aware of that because you'll be working on it. (Or worse, that idiot over there holding the spanner the wrong way is working on it.)
That's weird to me, honestly. Does everyone expect you to get a new phone number anytime you move long distances?

Everyone i know has kept their phone number for years. You'd think businesses would be used to people who moved from out of town but kept their number.

I don't call places much aside from doctors/etc tho, so i guess i just haven't had that issue personally.
The "hallucinations" can also be frustrating, though.

Wi-Fi or another radar-type device (like the one we developed) is the way to go. That got around people not wanting, or simply forgetting, to wear a device, but it did have its own technical challenges.

A sensor fusion approach is a great option, and wearables + some radar-based system seems like a best of all worlds solution, if people will use the wearables. Another big bonus you get from wearables is vitals detection, although I implemented a couple over-the-air vitals detection algorithms with our radar device that were sometimes very reliable.

I still have the two Artificial Life volumes from the Santa Fe Institiute proceedings from 1989. Alien Life looks like you could easily get lost in another world with this simulation. I remember awaiting the game Spore with music by Brian Eno was being created with lots of pre-release press in 2007 / 2008.

Was really expecting something more substantive from Harvard here. This is barely even a summary.

Growing up in Evangelical church circles in the '90s and '00s, this was the only kind of leader you were allowed to (admit you) want(ed) to be. And in that culture, it probably works. If your primary goal is (even ostensibly) "help these people love each other better and follow the golden rule better," this fits. That's a situation where any person's success helps other people succeed. One person's growth in love isn't at the expense of another's.

But does it work if your goal is to launch something in a cutthroat competitive landscape? Probably not nearly as well, and it doesn't make much sense to me to expect it to.
