The last thing I want to do in my side projects is to use the same technology I spend all day with at work, so instead of any software, my side projects use old-fashioned 3x5 cards in a box, with dividers for what part of the project they involve (entirely arbitrary, but how I like to think of dividing my project).

The cards are my literal "tickets" that I write TODOs on (features/bugs, etc) as I think of them and put them in the appropriate divider. Then when I'm just relaxing away from a computer I go through and sort them manually by priority, like any PM would groom a backlog. When I feel like working on particular part of my project, I grab the top card for that part.

It's nice to have at least SOME part of my day where I'm not staring at a screen.
That’s sunk cost.

Not sure, maybe I’m missing it, how does that impact spinning-off a project that Google no longer considers financially fruitful (it could still be financially viable but not at Google scale)?

Hey HN,

I'm Graham, currently based in sunny San Diego. I recently moved here due to a family relocation and unfortunately, my previous company wasn’t remote-friendly, so I’m on the lookout for new roles.

I've got a Computer Science degree from the University of Michigan and a varied tech background.

Feel free to reach out if you want to chat or think there's a fit!

Cheers,
Graham
Hrmm. A Philly steak is a hoagie so I’m going with that. Not a sandwich, but it is definitely NOT a taco.

OK, I will try that.

Dude, read Ruzzian media. Kremlin always threatens us, those idiots are expert linguists, historians and they want us to do whatever they want. Not sure why they hate we entered NATO to defend ourselves if they do not plan to attack, the nukes still work so there is no chance Eastern Europe invades Ruzzia to liberate your from Putin, you are stuck with him.
been using zfs on my home nas without ecc for well over a decade and never had any problems. i've seen people claiming this since before i started using zfs and it seems so unnecessary for some random home project.
Why Use Clojure for Machine Learning?
When you start a machine learning (ML) project and select the technology stack, you expect it to provide data immutability, great parallel programming features, and excellent data manipulation and encoding capabilities. That’s exactly what Clojure brings to the table. Although it’s not the most popular choice for ML projects, its functional paradigm and the entire Java ecosystem behind its back can make it a game-changer.

A "superintelligence" will develop by itself (and this is a gigantic project): inference and machine learning will have to be merged into a realtime model with realtime inputs and outputs which should be anchored in some way with our physical world.

If a sentient being does emerge, it will be probably after a really long time of interactions (years?), and better have a neural net with some induced "cleanup/stabilizing" regimes for weights (aka sleep).

Ok, let's presume you get your sentient being? Then what? Don't forget switching it off will be murder and fooling around with its neural net weights may be even worse.
This is super cool - would love to see a version with translations
> An (American) NFL team has 53 "active" players (plus a practice squad, plus ...), and plays a 5-month season. And has a lot of "maintain a major stadium"-type expenses, which (my guess) cycling teams don't have.

Cycling teams have all kinds of expenses too. True, they don't have to maintain a major stadium. But hey do have cars to assist the riders with food, drinks, spare tires, spare bikes if needed (sometimes multiple types of bike for some of the riders); team busses with showers, more food, meeting room (I think they also have washing machines in them, to provide the riders with clean clothing every day in a stage race); a service course for all the equipment, and to adjust and fix the bikes. Plus personnel to equip all those, plus personnel along the road with more food and drinks, and in some races also with spare wheels. Pro teams often participate in multiple races at the same time, so they need all that equipment times two or three. These days many teams haul mattresses along on stage races, to guarantee good sleep for the riders. All of that stuff, and the people involved, need to be transported to each race on time, sometimes to the other end of the world.

I don't know how that compares with say an NFL team, but I do know my head starts to hurt when I think about how to organize all of that (and more; I most likely forgot some stuff) throughout the year.
I live near the Navajo Nation, but claim no true understanding of native american culture. Here's what I've heard about their attitudes toward e.g. video recording their rituals:

They welcome you, or any respectful individual, to participate and to "live their rituals" with them. The local college even hosts such events, to help the neighboring communities understand each other better. Any elders will likely tell you many stories, once they see you're actually interested and not just in it for a cheap tourist thrill[1].

They discourage trying to record or explain it to people who did not participate. They consider the first-hand experience to be transformative, and that you fundamentally cannot understand them without it.

[1]: I understand there are some things they're not supposed to mention much, roughly in the sense of "speak of the Devil" in Christian societies, or naming Bloody Mary three times. Those stories you might only hear on special occasions.
Not my experience. With o2, the sales guy on the phone even recommended buying a fritz box when I told him I don't want to rent their "o2 homebox" (which is not made by avm and has a terrible reputation) for 2€ a month.

With Kabel Deutschland the process was also painless. I disconnected their box which they lend to you for free (also not avm), connected the fritzbox I bought on ebay and ended up on some form of captive portal where I had to enter my customer information and boom I was online. I've yet to encounter an isp which tries to force you to use a fritzbox. But then again I wouldn't mind since they are reliable and stable. :)
chuckle computer programs are the incantations we do to make computers do what we want. Quite a bit like shamans did incantations to get the world to do what they want. Only ours actually works. Or, it does if we can debug them.

Sadly, AMD PSP-based fTPMs emulate only a subset ("Mobile TPM" spec) of a discrete client TPM. This could be addressed with a PSP software update, since the Microsoft reference code for TPMs is open-source.

A full TPM implementation is required to use DRTM (SKINIT) for measured Linux Secure Launch, which is useful for home servers to confirm that the boot loader, kernel and optional immutable OS/VMs have not been modified. Unlike "Secure Boot" SRTM, DRTM adds launch integrity with policy defined by the hardware owner. One would typically use SRTM+DRTM.

The TPM emulation in Microsoft Pluton, which is present in some Ryzen chips, might be sufficient for DRTM. It's tragic that AMD fTPM has limited functionality, since AMD provides SKINIT on all SKUs, unlike Intel where TXT DRTM is limited to vPro.

Some ASRock 4x4 (NUC-sized) mini PCs have pins for discrete TPM.

Can you (or someone) suggest a backup scheme? I have a 28TB NAS. Almost everything I've looked into is expensive or intended more for enterprise tier.

Great game! Some feedback from a first time ever backgammon player:

- Thank you for getting me to play for my first time!

- Once a move has been utilized, then grey out that dice

- Rename the button "OK" to "Skip turn", I was wasting many turns until I figured out it skips your turn

- Make the color of your player more visible, I didn't know if I was black or white, thought I was white for the longest time

- For desktop users, do not show the popup keyboard, super difficult to chat with other players since it hides the text I'm writing

- Once I've done my two/four moves, autoclick the "ok button" so it speeds up the gameplay
How about going big on solar -- seems like there's plenty of sun and open space to do it; and it's the cheapest energy source there is.

I'm all for nuclear if it can be done "right", but it has yet to demonstrate that it can compete economically (SMRs hold promise yet have failed to make headway).

The name is basically irrelevant. There are other names used for it, like Libertarian Socialism. The fact it's a different name, hasn't increased the relevancy.

Libertarian Socialism and/or Anarchism, is a structure of ideas that gets destroyed by every government if it ever gains relevance, as occurred with Spain, as the article and Homage to Catalonia are about.

We don't need names to communicate the issue. It's really simple. If authority is unjustified, it should be dismantled.

And what does that mean in practice? That corporations are unaccountable privately owned Dictatorships, and workers should be in control of them.

That renting yourself to a dictatorship is not freedom, and control of operations and decision making should be in the hands of those who do the work.

> Russians don't care and don't think in such terms.

That's a lie and you know it. Variations of it like "We can show it again!" (that is, rape our way to Berlin) are in very widespread use among the Russian public and represent exactly the way most Russians think. Revanchism is the cornerstone of Putin's Russia, and that is also clearly present in your constant complaining how Russia has been humiliated and unfairly treated, and how it is entitled to anything more than it currently has, while the truth is that western nations spent a lot of money to relieve the humanitarian disaster that came from your own long-term mismanagement that you now try to pin on the Americans. You are - without any shame - biting the hand that fed you.
NFS + SMB.

Also I use SonicWall VPN to connect to my house to be in the network so it covers most of it. I also use Synology QuickConnect if I need to use the browser without VPN which also covers most urgent needs. Haven't failed me over a decade and my NAS also syncs with Synology C2 cloud which is also another peace of mind. I know it might sound unsafe a little having files stored on the cloud but it is what it is.

I won't play with half-baked library dependent homebrew solutions which cost way more time and cause headache more than commercial solutions. I won't open ports and forget them later either.

We've had legal weed here in Washington since 2012, and it's fine; we're not having those problems. New York has simply botched their legalization, in much the same way California did, by making it too difficult to get a retail license.

The author believes that legal weed must struggle to compete with the black market due to the cost of licensing, but that doesn't have to be true. Despite our 36% excise tax, marijuana in licensed stores is less expensive than it was on the old black market, and the quality, consistency, and variety of products are all much better. (You can pay more than the old black-market price, if you want to, for top-shelf product; but you probably couldn't have gotten that at all, before.)
The suggestion I was responding to was to basically stop doing this.

Pretty cool!

Downshifting under braking doesn't feel accurate. Most fast cars brake like 2-4x their acceleration rate, but in this sim, the braking feels more like 100x.

The sound of an engine under decel is just as awesome as acceleration.
> but wrong where it actually matters -- reality

The reality is Democrats and Republicans both said Trump should be removed from office. Amash and Romney the first time, a dozen more the next.

> "I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike… I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it.

This is a QAnon-tier conspiracy theory not based in fact, so yeah it seems like an unreasonable request.

True, anarchism has such a broad definition that some anarchists will be unhappy with any implementation.

I consider myself an anarchist and I think federalism can be an important part of it.

You'll also find that many people involved with building the Fediverse seem to have anarchist beliefs, for example.
At the Track and Field qualifiers for the 2024 Olympics they kept talking about how one of the runners was disqualified from Tokyo because she violated the whereabouts rules. They didn't say how.

Is that like parole where they check in, or is it like house arrest where you have an ankle monitor?
Anarchism isn't about getting rid of leadership.

It's about asking the question if authority is justified, and if it isn't dismantling it.

Certainly there are cases where authority is justified. Just not in the case of unaccountable private dictatorships, or as they are known, corporations.
> So much of the tech energy before the pandemic was seen in conferences and hackathons etc. Many of these had people who were not super social.

> The reality is that people do better when they congregate in areas with other smart people. The agglomeration effect is real and well proven.

Eh, I went to a few conferences before the pandemic. It was always mostly irrelevant. People seemed to go only because it was a chance to travel on company money, and get some swag/booze for free. The talks were always very inconsequential.

> it explains why people were willing to pay even twice in costs if it increased the odds of success and the size of success by 10-100x.

But you can separate into smaller groups, who send representatives. That's really why all this stuff ended up organized at the level of the individual shop, the individual factory.

The problem is when representatives that you send can't be recalled easily. You can think of this as a technical problem, since elections have been expensive historically to run.

There are ideas in the vein of "liquid democracy" that consider how we could arrange things with instant recall: e.g. if democracy were an app on my phone, and I could remove my support from my representative between the time they cast a vote and the time the vote is finalized, and replace them with somebody who will vote properly. This could be done completely without anger; I could restore the my support to the previous person after the vote. What it does is make my representative someone who I trust with my will for the moment not someone who owns my will.

It's a different perspective.
Does it support rSTP?
This is a very profound point. I suppose it's kind of like what the olympics are supposed to do: how about we all fight each other in a ritualized game, instead of with sticks and stones, strikes and drones.
for what it's worth, Chomsky is specifically an advocate of Anarcho-Syndicalism:

Anarcho-syndicalism is a political philosophy and anarchist school of thought that views revolutionary industrial unionism or syndicalism as a method for workers in capitalist society to gain control of an economy and thus control influence in broader society.

Famously, Tridge gave a talk about this, and got the audience of the talk to recreate the "reverse engineering". See https://lwn.net/Articles/133016/ for a source.

> I attended Tridge's talk today. The best part of the demonstration was that he asked the audience for each command he should type in. And the audience instantly called out each command in unison, ("telnet", "help", "echo clone | nc").

Please. If you ever reach feature "parity" that is sanely competitive with something like Firefox or Chrome and have regular everyday production ready releases. Please. Please. Do not turn into Mozilla where you waste funds. Make a paid version and I will gladly pay for it monthly if it means you will put all the profits (or most) into development efforts exclusively. I'm still sour at how much money Mozilla wastes (and Wikipedia for that matter), they had so many great initiatives and projects they have tossed.
They don't really have to. Even in Star Trek where you can tell the holodeck to do whatever in LLM fashion, there's also a lower level language that can be used for more fine control. It's always good to have levels of abstraction when you need them, this just adds the very top one that was always missing.

Greg LeMond was one of the people calling for more scrutiny of bikes for mechanical tampering. One of the best pieces of evidence he provided were thermal cameras pointed at bikes while they were in motion. Lots of thermal blooming in places no professional bike mechanic generate a tenths that much friction.

One of the problems is that bikes can be made so light with unobtainium that there are rules in place requiring a minimum weight so that poorer teams can compete. So if you make a bike that's 10 lbs you have to stick weights into it to bring it up to spec. What else could you put in that bike besides chunks of iron pipe?

There is nothing biological about the modern corporation. It can be different, as it was in Spain.

That's the point. Identifying unjustified authority, and replacing it.
Whether you care about the order or not depends on the intent of the programmer. I think the intent is usually to sum up the array for this sort of code. So, at first glance your first example looks more like a result of something like 0 +- 1e35 in double to me (added one to the exponent to avoid having to do math).

The intent of the programmer always has to be interpreted by the language. I’m saying the default interpretation should be one that doesn’t impose an ordering unless specifically requested. This is much more sympathetic to modern deeply parallel machines.

Syndicalist is a particular style, based around Syndicalism. There's nothing inherent that is required, it's just a type.
Of all the things to hate about Python, this seems like the least. The indentation definitely looks nicer. I'd say the only real disadvantages it has are a) you are definitely restricted to statement-based constructs; no inline function definitions etc., and b) pasting stuff into the REPL is a mess.

They could fix the latter, but the REPL is Python tooling so it is required to be awful.
Late reply, but I think that people who use a "proper function" don't usually put it immediately after the call - can you really call it a proper function if control flow falls through into it? That's certainly not how functions usually work. So I think people would either put the function somewhere entirely different, or do something like

do_something_with_rip:
call .get_rip
jmp .after_get_rip
.get_rip:
;...
ret
.after_get_rip:
;...

Your example is kinda cute, but I'd guess few enough people use that trick for it to be worth special casing or optimizing for.

As for

call .push_rip
.push_rip:
pop rax

I can see that appearing in old hand-written code before knowledge of branch predictor implications become well known? Or perhaps people who know it's suboptimal but figure that it is fast enough (getting the rip is likely to be very cold code).
Matthew 28:18-20 'Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”'

Doesn't sound anarchist to me.

Why do you say Jesus was anarchic?
