I don't buy that COL is significantly higher unless you're firehosing money everywhere for the hell of it. You can spend scads of money, but you're not obligated to. I lived there for five years, and left in December. My grocery bill was the same as it is now in Ireland (but still less than my parents pay in Chicagoland) and while I don't pay rent in Ireland, a friend just got a "steal" on an apartment @ €2500/mo in outer Dublin, while I was paying CHF 2250 for a 3-storey townhouse with private parking in outer Zürich. Road tax is similar. Health insurance more in CH, but we're talking 6k/yr vs 2.4k. And income tax was so low in CH that the foreign tax credit didn't do much for me, and I ended up having to cut a check to the IRS for 5 figures every year. Switzerland is truly exceptional, and you can make crazy money there.

Maybe some perspective helps, the hurricane would have given probably half of Germany hurricane force winds. Hurricanes cause power outages, I don't think I've ever heard about a hurricane anywhere that directly hit a populous area and didn't cause power loss.

https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/texa...

Fact is, these storms are stupid powerful (even the "little" cat 1's) and big trees are heavy as fuck which is going to be the major cause of our outages.

I can get pictures of some of the 15+ meter trees with trunks over a meter wide that ended up completely uprooted and toppled over. It's impossible to just not build around these trees (best we can do is try to trim the ones around power infra but our area is just so dense it's impractical to keep them completely cut back everywhere) so it's just a fact of life that there will be power infrastructure damage during extreme weather.

Now the response speed definitely needs to be addressed but I cover that in my to level post so I won't rehash it here again.

Of course. I'd just rather trust many people narrowly rather than trusting a few people with everything. And the people who can push updates to password manager front ends... we're trusting them with everything. It's a situation which calls for a bit of extra diligence.
Yes, there is a lot of effort to understand, for example, the 99th percentile tick-to-trade latency as well as the average latency. For a lot of those worst-case timings there are things that are occasionally out of your control like the kernel, the network, the hardware. Then there are things always in your control like how you implement your software.

Most HFT algos are busy-spinning. You'll see a core pinned at 100% as it checks for input availability over and over. The vast majority of the time it is actually doing nothing, from an external point of view. When that tick appears that it needs to react to, it springs into action. It might react to some input in the range of a few hundred nano seconds but for literally billions of nanoseconds it's doing nothing at all.

Audio is processing a buffer of data (usually whatever your audio interface buffer is set to), then waits patiently until the next buffer arrives. There's a regular pulse to it. If your CPU isn't hurting, there's way more time between those buffers than are required to process them. The order of magnitude between work and 'not work' for HFT is huge compared to audio generally. HFT logic is simple, small and fast. Audio is hopefully complex if you paid good money for it. The best way to go fast is to do almost nothing.

In terms of the impact of not meeting a particular deadline, it's an opportunity cost in HFT. In audio, you get audio dropouts if you can't process it fast enough. In HFT, if your reaction time is slow, you're not at the front of the queue for that juicy trading opportunity you and everyone else just spotted, then you miss it entirely and someone else gets the prize. HFT is all about making thousands of small statistically favourable bets and being able to execute on them fast enough to realise the opportunity before the next fastest guy.

I have a good feeling we're going to make a fairly big impact on cancer in our lifetimes with mRNA and other new discoveries in our lifetime. Autoimmune issues I'm feeling much less confident about. It seems like so many of the therapies are "turn down the immune system". I wish there was wider study into autoimmune derived mental health complications too. Maybe I'm totally wrong on this (and I'm very OK to be proven wrong) but maybe there's something to find here.
Of course, but a small portion of the employees, disproportionately concentrated at startups, are willing to take a bet on an eventual exit. They accept a 90+% chance of a company going belly up and a 7-digit payday if it becomes a roaring success.

But without an IPO it becomes a chance for a small royalty payment, and this is a lot less attractive success.

I have trouble watching things without subtitles. I dislike most video players on websites since they don't give you the option to search for or manually upload subtitles.

This and other inconveniences motivated me to make a browser extension to fix bad video players on the internet. It works by replacing the video player with a custom one. It also allows me to see what the manifest URL is and what headers it uses so I can copy it over to VLC if I need to.

The extension is available on Github, you can find it here

Factorio is fun while engineering is not, is because Factorio is predictable with a fixed set of rules. Programming is not.

Factorio will be stressful if let's say assembler has only 99.9% uptime, and need to be restarted when down. The same with every single components, like belts, inserters, etc. Heck for train, in openttd having them breakdown is already a frustating issue.

Having a clear, unchanging spec itself is already a huge plus too. In work, specs change often.

Moreover in Factorio you don't get involved with government regulations or other technical limitations. Everything makes Factorio fun.
Show HN: Open-source tool that writes Nvidia Triton Inference Glue code for you
Triton Co-Pilot: A quick way to write glue code to make deploying with NVIDIA Triton Inference Server easier. It's a cool CLI tool that we created as part of an internal team hackathon.
Earlier, deploying a model to Triton was very tough. You had to navigate through the documentation for the Python backend, figure out how to get your inputs and outputs right, write a bunch of glue code, create a config.pbtxt file with all the correct parameters, and then package everything up. It could easily take a couple of hours.

But with Triton Co-Pilot, all that hassle is gone. Now, you just write your model logic, run a command, and Triton Co-Pilot does the rest. It automatically generates everything you need, uses AI models to configure inputs and outputs, and handles all the tedious parts. You get your Docker container ready to go in seconds.

Check out our GitHub repository and see how much easier deploying to Triton can be! It would be great if you folks try it out and see if it works for you.

> This minimal meta-loader will totally work if you invoke it directly like `$ meta_loader.sh foo`, and it will totally not work if you hardcode its path (or a symlink to it) in the ELF headers of a binary.

why not have `foo` be a shell script which invokes the meta loader on the "real" foo? like:

```
#!/bin/sh
# file: /bin/foo

# invoke the real "foo" (renamed e.g. ".foo-wrapped" or "/libexec/foo" or anything else easy for the loader to locate but unlikely to be invoked accidentally)
exec meta_loader.sh .foo-wrapped "$@"
```

it's a common enough idiom that nixpkgs provides the `wrapProgram` function to generate these kinds of wrapper scripts during your build: even with an option to build a statically-linked binary wrapper instead of a shell-script wrapper (`makeBinaryWrapper`).
Nice extension! It would be cool if it could also re-render the page to be _just_ the video player (thus solving the problem in the Gist, with all the ads).

About subtitles: in case an m3u8 stream has them, you can ask VLC to render them with a flag like `--sub-track 0`

Both reactions make sense to me. Too much AHR activation suppresses immune response leading to cancer proliferation due immune cells not culling cancerous cells, but too little leads to auto-immune conditions. It's definitely like a large sloppy code base with lots of implicit overlaps and global effects.
Bitcoin's future hinges on its integration into a comprehensive financial ecosystem. Spend your fiat, keep your Bitcoin - this is the premise of BitcoinFi. BitcoinFi transforms BTC from a passive store of value into a dynamic, yield-generating asset.

At the core of BitcoinFi are three key components: Mezo, tBTC, and Acre

tBTC is a trust-minimized bridge that solves the long-standing challenge of securely moving Bitcoin to other blockchains like Ethereum, Optimism, Solana, etc. Unlike centralized bridges, tBTC utilizes threshold signatures and a decentralized custody model, ensuring maximum security and decentralization for your BTC.

Mezo is the economic engine of BitcoinFi. It leverages tBTC to enable a wide array of financial activities using BTC:

* Yield Generation: Stake your BTC or provide liquidity to earn rewards.

* Lending & Borrowing: Utilize your BTC as collateral or access loans without selling.

* DeFi Participation: Engage in yield farming, decentralized trading, and access Bitcoin-based derivatives.

* Real-World Use Cases: Explore innovative applications like on-chain payroll and BTC-powered payments.

By integrating tBTC and exploring these novel use cases, Mezo is leading the frontier in expanding Bitcoin's utility and building a thriving Bitcoin-centric economy.

Acre introduces stBTC, a liquid staking token that allows you to earn passive income from your BTC. Deposit your BTC into Acre, receive stBTC, and let your Bitcoin work for you. Unlike rebasing tokens, stBTC's supply remains constant while its value appreciates based on staking rewards, offering a unique investment opportunity.

Read the full blog post (https://blog.mezo.org/how-mezo-is-building-bitcoinfi/) to explore BitcoinFi and how tBTC and Mezo work together.

Thanks! You can already do that. Open a new tab, and then click the icon to make the player appear. It will fill the whole tab. Then use another tab to find videos on other websites. The new-tab player will automatically collect sources and you can play it by using the sources browser tool. You can then close the tab with the original website.

@Foxboron wrote a compelling if clickbaity post a few months back to poke at the bit-for-bit interpretation of what reproducibility means in nixland: https://linderud.dev/blog/nixos-is-not-reproducible/

It didn't get much traction here (https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=linderud.dev) but there was more lively discussion on lobsters: https://lobste.rs/s/jpoy4q/nixos_is_not_reproducible

(That said, the nix ecosystem does have levers and practices for working to weed out common sources of build reproducibility problems and the community is reasonably interested/active here. But there isn't any magic in it that fixes all bit-for-bit issues. People still have to catch, tag, and fix them.)

> If they then change it to prevent you from breaking the limit

But your ability to break the limit is fully predicted on the capabilities of the car? It's not like it's some kind of natural right you have to go 80 in a 65, you need someone to make and sell you a vehicle which will do that for you, and regulatory bodies limit the capabilities of consumer goods all the time (ex. radio transmitter devices).

Again say they required a mechanical governor in the car which capped the limit at say 60mph for all vehicles sold, it's going to prevent you from accelerating faster than that always (so no 'braking' at any point, but at 60mph your engine will no longer by able to apply acceleration). Is this also a nightmare scenario? Or is it specifically the telemetry required to localize that to the roadway speed limit?

> These men's internal gender identity is masculine. That's why they are calling themselves men.

Well then, that goes straight to the heart of my point. Men don't have to be masculine. And women don't have to be feminine. All you've done is swap "men must be masculine" for "anyone masculine is a man".

A woman calling herself a man because she feels she has masculine qualities is exactly the sort of sexist rubbish we should be challenging and rejecting. Just like men feeling that they're not "real men" because they don't conform to cultural stereotypes of masculinity. It's regressive, restrictive and ridiculous.

Practical consideration might be that a disk may experience a fault in one of the executions: works fine a hundred times but fails on 101st (eg hits disk-full error or a bad block).

But that simply means it's harder to implement true idempotency when it comes to disk usage.

This is why the problem is usually simplified to ignore unhappy paths.
This looks really nice, I am going to give it a try straight away!
Servoshell is the web browser built around Servo, there is also Qt Servo Webview: https://github.com/KDABLabs/cxx-qt-servo-webview
The websites I've seen (and was referencing in the Gist) basically do this. But it's a very simple anti-debugger technique that uses an IIFE containing a `while` loop with a `debugger;` statement in every iteration. You can circumvent it by opening DevTools on another website and toggling it to "skip all breakpoints."

I'm sure there are more advanced anti-debugger techniques with different denial-of-service vectors. And I'm sure that the attack surface for actual exploits (beyond just DOS) is also greater than browsing a website without DevTools open. But it's not like browser vendors grant super-permissions to websites when the user has DevTools open; any exploit would depend on a high severity vulnerability.

I do agree that it's probably smart to browse sketchy websites in an isolated browser, and ideally one inside a VM.
In 1942, atom bombs didn't work at all. Does that mean nobody on the Manahattan Project cared? In my mind, when I hear that nobody on earth has achieved something, but a massive bubble of people are feverishly working on it, my conclusion is that a lot of people care a lot. I assume by how your post was phrased, you're using the term AI to mean LLM. You noticed that 100% of LLMs, every last one of them, in research labs and commercial businesses, hallucinate and give wrong answers when prompted for something very different from their training data. Thousands are this way. None at all exist that are the other way. A very peculiar property of an entire technology. But your conclusion wasn't that it's inherent property of LLMs (a statistics machine), or that we need to move beyond LLMs to achieve AGI. It wasn't that LLMs have a lot of powerful uses when kept inside the narrow scope of their training. Your conclusion was that, across the entire earth, without exception, "investors/founders/PMs don’t really care". I'm sorry, I am not following — perhaps if you elaborate more on each logical steps you took to get to that conclusion, we can shed more light on what you're missing.
x86 has a lot of special cases and it's becoming harder and harder to find non-code material with all instructions in a nice tabular format. But overall the encoding isn't that complicated. What's complex in the architecture is the amount of legacy stuff that still lives in privileged code.

> x86-64 also has some, in that many instructions can't encode the upper 8 bits of a 16-bit register (AH, BH, DH, CH) if a REX prefix is used.

You can't use both the high registers and the extended low registers in the same instruction, indeed. But in practice nobody is using the high registers anymore so it's a relatively rare limitation.
You articulated a sentiment similar to what I wrote a couple of weeks ago -- you're more candid in your self-awareness, and you did a better job delineating why you hold these views. Here's my comment, which was more of a sociological extrapolation, but in hindsight, might just be me projecting via wishful thinking:

It's more of a suggestion/question than a hard limit though, no? "Are you sure you want to open this 4GB file?"
This is bearishly hard to measure. For example (this is a real, recent scenario, left intentionally vague): a new government regulation gives you 12 months to expose certain data conforming to a provided API schema. The system under development is a big ball of mud. Re-shaping the data to conform to this schema turns out to be extremely difficult but failing to produce the APIs on time will result in company-endangering penalties from a government regulator with no sense of humour.

So you put a team on the APIs and issues keep cropping up again and again because every time one thing is changed it has knock-on effects causing other company-endangering incidents because you're making changes to to way billing and invoicing data is presented, or to how incoming metering data is stored. So you put some additional teams on the project and work everyone to the bone. Some senior developers burn out and leave the organisation. Likewise some project managers. Your best QA staff have their morale drop to rock bottom.

The project delivers on time but how do you measure these costs? How are you going to put a dollar figure on the burnout and lost staff? How much of the senior developers' decisions to leave can be attributed to the project and the big ball of mud? How do you measure the impact of your best tester losing his will to work and going dark?

Many of us have worked in organisations where things have gone down like this. We all know that impact is huge. But yeah you're right, I can't put together a business case that says it in clear numbers. On paper we had a one-year project, it probably went a bit over budget but it ultimately delivered so what's the big deal about the big ball of mud? Except that our competitors were able to produce the same APIs for a fraction of the cost without burning out half their staff.
I am opposed to DRM and would never do that.
That's all very reasonable to me. I'm not arguing that the lack of alien radio signals indicates the lack of intelligent alien life, rather that it is the only realistic means of identifying a post-industrial civilization from such a great distance. "There could be alien dolphins orbiting Alpha Centauri" doesn't mean a whole lot when they can't do anything that would make their presence known to us 4 million lightyears away.
You can "trick" chemistry we just don't know yet the rest of interactions it will have on such a complex system
I've encountered an individual who had fibro, me/cfs, pots diagnosis. Turns out his small nerve fibers were fried by an antibiotic. His skin punch biopsy showed reduced fibers. This may not be the case in everyone, but SFN is extremely under diagnosed.

He was a chemist, and he ended up healing all his symptoms with pirenzepine. If I recall correctly they did the skin punch biopsy again and his physician was stunned when they saw regrowth of the fibers.

Today, WinSanTor is in stage 3 trials with their drug. They designed a cream with main ingredient being pirenzepine. They are targeting diabetes but the med appears to work for small nerve fibers as well.

Small nerve fibers control so much that any time people have weird unexplained symptoms it should be explored.
