I was getting migraines regularly most Mondays until I finally realized that it was tied to chocolate. I ate chocolate on weekends. I stopped eating chocolate and they went away. Now I never get migraines unless I have chocolate. It is likely the caffeine. I don't consume any other caffeine.
I felt the study was flawed the instant I saw they tied the golden hour to a time. So if I drive a mile to cross the river into the next time zone, I can stay up an extra hour?
This study should have been tied to a concept of sleep rhythm or how long you stay up after you wake each morning. But tying it to such a poor concept of our time(which is tied to time zones which abruptly start/end at specific locations) doesn't give me much faith in the study.

I agree with the "no substance" part. However, I think such a course is not for beginners, instead it would be for experienced programmers who already have an idea about how computers work and want to fill up some gaps so that they have the whole picture.

These 12 weeks can be part of that "10 years" progression. It addresses the "computer" part, and adds a language that isn't mentioned to the list: Verilog, a hardware definition language.

As for the "guy", he is George Hotz, a controversial figure, who likes to think of himself as very clever indeed, but going up and down the abstraction ladder is, I think, one of his strengths. So I won't dismiss his article too quickly.
Final Fantasy in particular was a weird callout, since 90% of the games are themed on a combination of coping with the human condition and the power of friendship.
Does it support browser ?
In a nutshell: You can track load time of your site. If (e.g.) NBC homepage has videos of X, Y, and Z on their homepage, you can simply embed those same videos on your site.

Does your page take <0.1s to load? The cache was hit which means the user probably visited NBC recently.

We can’t have nice things because people figure out how to use them to track people.
There are probably some smart enough to see the benefit of nuclear, which are the lowest cost when all externalities are included (ie gdp drop when everyone nearly dies from fossil fuel based warming, and massive decarbonization enabled by on demand excess energy).
That’s certainly a more nuanced take than “48% tax rate on income over well above median is wrong”.

I too prefer public policy debates that focus on competency and efficiency instead of a variable parameter that doesn’t capture much information.

Okay I didn't know about Turing Complete, that looks amazing.
If we want to let people decide on their learning journey, I think something like this is even more harmful, since it creates an unrealistic standard. It's the equivalent of an Instagram lifestyle for software/hardware engineering.

I've met many world class developers, and I'm sure that even after years of experience almost none could handle such a course even if dedicating themselves full time to it. Building a C compiler in Haskell is just one part of a 3-week section, and if you don't know Haskell you're really dead if you have to pick it up on the fly. It feels like an A/B test, to see how much bullshit can pass, or maybe the guy really is delusional, I don't really know.
All of Python is pretty terrible from a packaging perspective.
In the 1960s, a computer was not something you kept in your pocket that you could pull out and interact with 24 hours a day. Nor could it handle face scans, precise geolocation data, intersect that with other longitudinal datasets about you etc.

The studies cited merely say "alleviate loneliness" and don't seem to mention any of the downsides like creating unrealistic or unhealthy expectations of how to make and interact with human friends.

I hate this. I will be about 44 years old when global civilization is projected to collapse.

I get so much anxiety not even really knowing what kind of future I should be planning for. Is it worth saving money for some kind of retirement? Is it worth having kids? Should I just be traveling and seeing as much of the world as I can now before it’s gone?

There’s no satisfying solution. I could spend my whole life planning for an apocalypse that never comes, or I can just live my life as we always have and just accept the possibility of me and my family dying young and miserable as a result of not doing anything to prepare for the collapse.
A big part of libraries and librarians is knowing their local community. Think about helping local adults learn to read or local authors publish a book. But also being local helps them curate a catalog that is informed by the community. If I walk into a library in city A, it is more likely to have books about city A on hand. This is much harder to do at a national level. IMO, the hyper local nature is also one of the big differentiators for the library to avoid being usurped by something like Amazon.
Maybe one day we’ll see relay stations in space. One spaced every x miles transmitting the internet from earth. Ping should be minimal.
Similar, though only for one client ATM, and our clients are fine with cloud storage these days as long as everything is in an account properly locked down (bring your own key, etc.) so only their application instances can access it.

At least the data doesn't rest (as far as we know…) in PowerBI.
Give it a go, then! No one would be more happy than me if you would prove me wrong.

Until then, I'd have to side with said pessimists here.

Are we back in the 60s where a father has to sign off on the daughters job application? We are talking about a woman who willingly signed up for a playboy photoshoot, had been aware of the image being used and circulated for decades with no issues.
more relevant is if your country can capitalize on the workers

like if a lot of skilled workers move over but

- they (mostly/majorly) don't settle, just stay for a few years

- they don't create companies in your country

- they don't work for companies in your country

- the companies they work with might directly compete with your local companies and now with having local representatives can do so better

Then if the tax breaks are worth it is solely a question of taxes they pay + money they spent vs. implicit cost of disruption they cause. Which might not be always worth it.

On the other hand the US doesn't focus on attracting digital nomads, they focus on their biggest/best companies attracting intelligence for themself. Which has a high chance of profiting the US especially given that they also tend to attract young talent which then build their business network in the US making it quite likely that they if they found a company they do so in the US.
Three books come to my mind on this topic:
1) Atomic Physics and Human Knowledge by Niels Bohr
- and to think this was a series of speeches is pretty intense… still haven’t read it through to this day after ~7 years.
2) The Master and His Emissary by Iain Mcgilchrist- I’ve been pushing on and off since late 2019 and I’m ~80% through having understood ~75% and retained ~35% of what I read. It’s been a nice experience.
3) Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace - got ~30% through and haven’t touched it in years.
Small teams work very very well if the team is full of competent people. Such a small team will execute much faster. The problem is that if you need to do more work at some point a small team won't be sufficient and you will end up hiring more. And as you hire more you will inevitably have quality dilution. Both communication in large team size and hiring issues make large teams much less effective.

They might or might not be a net positive. I think it's more complicate. It's not just money, but also where the money is going and what it is achieving.

E.g. a lot of wealthy foreigners will increase the rent, prices for restaurants and services. Oftentimes, the quality of restaurants/services might go down (because if you cater to a crowd that only stays a couple of months, there's not the same need to get these people to come back. That are changes that are often received negatively by the locals.

Foreigners also make use of public services like streets, public transport etc., often without paying income tax.

In my business area (ISP), when doing carbon accounting, we have "scope 3" which includes the electric consumption we incur the electric consumption of our devices at user's home.

A first step towards reducing those externalities [1] is mandating that they power consumption Youtube incurs is accounted for. -- Another Youtube thing that made my computer screams is "theater mode", eating so much CPU for eye candy on so many devices ought to be at least declared.

[1] To explain the externality: Google probably does that because they make maybe +0.5% revenues by click to video, at almost 0 cost for them. Since the whole extra cost is paid for by the user (by requiring a bigger computer, by consuming more electricity). The price for the user to view a page without the embed and with it can be something like +20% at no gain for them. It's so small than no sane user make those computations, but if you start accounting like a company, you would see the difference. (Plus obviously all the ecological externalities)

Yeah, the "idea" in question looks neither original enough to be patentable nor practical enough that anyone would want to use it (a food container shaped like a Koch snowflake, really?) but the Bundesgerichtshof only ruled that the applicant's third attempt to fill in the application form fulfills the formal criteria, by clearly identifying the human who is claiming the patent.

Well you'd be mistaken. The point of WebAssembly is to run any language that compiles to WebAssembly in a secure sandbox.
Hi, I’m the author of the underlying quickjs-emscripten runtime library. I like your ergonomic kind of “standard library” for quickjs-emscripten :)

Did you try running in the browser or with a bundler? I think accepting the variant name as a string you pass to import(variantName) dynamically may not play well with Webpack et al.

EDIT: SECURITY WARNING: this library exposes the ability for the guest (untrusted) code to `fetch` with the same cookies as the host `fetch` function. You must not run untrusted code if enabling `fetch`. Library should come with a big blinking warning about what is safe and unsafe to enable when running untrusted code. It’s not a “sandbox” if the sandboxed code can call arbitrary HTTP APIs authenticated as the host context!

The reason quickjs-emscripten is low-level and avoids magic is so I can confidently claim that the APIs it does provide are secure. I generally reject feature requests for magical serialization or easy network/filesystem access because that kind of code is a rich area for security mistakes. When you run untrusted code, you should carefully audit the sandbox itself, but also audit all the code you write to expose APIs to the sandbox.

In this case a comment from an other HN user asking about Fetch cookies tipped me off to the potential security issue.

> "what if we’re pouring more and more effort into research in an area, because our primary abstraction is wrong?

Absolutely; perhaps "thinking of knowledge in terms of physical environments" also helps to illustrate why – sometimes the only way to get to where we want to be, is to redefine where-and-how we begin

Concretely, looking up a unconquered mountain: it may seem as though many approaches are viable, but when attempt proves otherwise, the only option might be to return to base, and consider a new origin for approach

I think this also helps illustrate why "progress by accrual alone" is so inherently flawed. Sometimes you must begin again, in whole, but also in part – because "you can't get to anywhere from anywhere"

In fact, for almost all domains other than science, beginning again is such an optimal remedy to progress dead-ends, it's operational

Writers know what's up – kill your darlings. Software engineers too, famously – measuring software progress by lines of code added is counter productive – we learn to be unsentimental, delete and reconsolidate often. This is the continual redefinition of the "origin" of where we continue-on-from

Though it does require a change in perspective: written words, and lines of code – not as asset, but liability. Redundant words, code or literature, is contrived complexity. Unnecessary, and after a while, prohibitive to progress. I think science hasn't done this yet? – we know that naming things is hard, but perhaps for science, calling every artifact 'literature' doesn't help...

I also think that science catastrophically misunderstands "beginning again". Finding new origins is easiest for those who haven't been conditioned to only see one. It doesn't take magical genius, just (selective) ignorance. This is why (non-trivial) revolutionary paradigms often come from outsiders (or historical scientists who did not complete the endurance test of the modern day burden)

I can't help but think that scientific genius is based on "eh, fuck that, i'm sure there's a better way"

It's as if, when Kuhn wrote "Structute", a million normies cried out in pain, and because they'd already been conditioned to one origin, and couldn't stand the idea of "newbs" getting credit, vowed to prove that "progress by iterative accrual alone" was all that was necessary. And here we are

I'm not an employee being paid to scan and bag my items and it's only time saving over a trained employee if it's less than a few items.

Oftentimes not even then, if I bring my own bag and the scanner demands an employee come over after every item because the scale is off by a couple of grams. Completely awful experience if there's more than one alcoholic drink as well.
Creator here:

1. It’s a curated set of problem/solutions more than prompts
2. It abstracts away tons of the work of dealing with the various APIs
3. It’s crowdsourced and constantly improving

1-3 are useful because most people aren’t AI engineers like you, and they shouldn’t have to be to get the benefits of AI.

Dunkelflaute is extremely rare if you have a sufficiently large grid [0].
That's the beauty of european collaboration, you can have german and spanish renewable jump in for each other, norwegian pumped hydro in the super rare case that neither have wind or sun, and french nuclear, should that happen while the storage is empty and you don't feel like reducing steel production for the day (which is btw also a totally valid way to balance the grid).

0: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkelflaute
the problem is, every time the sun shines and the wind blows it makes the investment in nuclear a sinking ship.. you cant throttle nuclear power plants like that, so they keep producing energy you cant charge for. They keep producing waste, they keep chewing up fuel and they continue being a saftey issue.

What needs to happen is baseload storage, batteries, pumped hydro, hydrogen/ammonia.
You are totally correct basis my observations. However, companies can not be smaller as past a certain scale a company resembles a communist economy. Having read the book "Red Plenty", I saw so many similarities with the big techs I have worked at. Internal teams have a top given monopoly and have no incentive to improve their products unless there is some external competition. Most companies are now led by people who have much less skin in the game (up to the CEO level in most) and every small org resembles a factory in the soviet union. The incentives of everyone working at the company is to keep growing bigger.

I see you haven't met Google's production backbone network(s)...
