Rust doesn't play quite as nicely with Gentoo's packaging system as C/C++, but yes, that seems excessively long.

Then again, I'm fairly sure I have starship installed via `cargo install`, not via portage (Gentoo's packaging system).

I'm a Rust and Gentoo lover :D

I wanted to be fair to Malta, so seeing this on Wikipedia:

> A study collecting public opinion on what language was "preferred" discovered that 86 percent of the population preferred Maltese, 12 percent English, and 2 percent Italian.

I thought that although English is an official language, it isn't really the primary one.

They are still deadly, incurable diseases. If treated they become more harmless, yes, but that still makes you dependent on medication and treatment for the rest of your life.

Of course you wouldn't want to have diabetes either, which is also a serious condition. Overall the article isn't the best medical advice I heard though.

There shouldn't be any stigma around it, but any of those infections will change your life significantly.
You were not there. Multitasking? Xenix.
Multitasking DOS? DOS Merge.
Pre-emptive multitasking? AmigaOS.
DOS 4.0M was task switching.
OS/2 2.0? I'm being extremely facetious.

Give me a date, and I will tell you what existed.

Nothing mainstream existed until windows 3.1. at least on x86/32

There also was OLEC on windows 2, that did run in real mode, but the only thing that took advantage of it was the demos, and samples: no commercial product used it.

That's a legitimate point. The referendum was 8 years ago and I was 18 back then so there might be some myopia on my part.
There's also a very real chance that commercial aviation may find itself operating in a GPS-denied environment, at least in various edge cases. For example, combat zones often employ GPS spoofing and jamming, and because radio waves don't exactly respect borders, this can sometimes affect civilian equipment outside of the combat zone. This has happened at least near Israel, Iraq, and Ukraine in the last few years. In other cases, truckers or rideshare drivers that want to spoof their company trackers end up parking too close to an airport and impacting planes on an RNAV approach.
haha appriciate you did. Fair feedback, I would get better results with a 10 second something than a 3 minute skit.
Hello,

Update, I thought of a way to express the parent comment here:

0 + 0 = 0, substituting literal values, dropping the units, for some convoluted overloading of the operator '+'. My TSH (thyroid test) came back from the lab without units this, I guess I'm modernizing.

0 dB S/N + 0 bytes originating information = 0 bytes transmitted (arguably error free to be fair).

Contrast this with P. Graham's comment last year "Why would I want anyone to fail?" on Twitter, which (I'm not a fanboi of Graham or Shannon or Turing, just an admirer of their work), was the most information transmitted to me over any medium, with any S/N that year. Perhaps we should revisit the basis of Shannon's work, in light of what we have learned from the Internet--Einstein wasn't afraid of arguing with Newton. :)

I'm in the UK where every home already has 230v power at the consumer unit/breaker panel.

I don't have an EV charger, but I did have a 32A 230v power feed installed to my detached garage, suitable for a 7.4kW EVSE in the future. Parts and labour cost less than $650. It was a day's work for one man; he used armoured cable that doesn't need to be buried very deep, and could cross paved areas just cutting a 2" slit.

This was in a high cost-of-living area, a qualified and well reviewed electrician, and I didn't bother to shop around for multiple quotes.
I think this is a great point. The author seems to have a selection bias. All the “great” problems in maths are the ones that have remained hard to solve.

All the stuff in the middle has been solved and then taught and is no longer “interesting”. Or, are we build on those results the new problems are a bit further from the fundamentals so you have to look in specific more specialized domains to find new areas.

What the author seems to forget is that most of the stuff we take for granted now were at one point the cutting edge of maths and obscure to all but the leading mathematicians of the time.

Hey there! I no longer use my 9343, but I remember I was not able to run Fedora without breaking the sound support for it (Ubuntu had some kernel option set on startup that put the sound card to some legacy mode, instead of the I2C that Windows used). And I never managed to setup palm rejection, it was a constant pain whenever I had to use the (otherwise excellent) trackpad.

This so much. I've run Linux in all my desktop machines for 10+ years. When I was younger it was mainly due to ideology, but now I really don't care.

Although most linux distros still have quirks (bluetooth issues, sleep/resume issues, no hibernation out of the box, high battery consumption, among a plethora a of other papercuts) I am sticking with it mainly because windows ux just sux so much.

Every new computer I buy I give the installed windows a try and oh my god, it becomes crappier with every version.
For me Windows 2000 was the best... 20 years ago. It's been downhill from there.

Plenty of techniques are based on junk science, much more in the past than now. Police/FBI don't actively try to find out if techniques are based on real science or not as they are useful in securing convictions. So called experts in these fields testify in trials and are paid quite a bit, it is in their interest to continue being paid so the fraud perpetuates. Unless you have money you have no way to put up a defense that can discredit expert witness testimony.

This is only illegal insofar as it conflicts with ECHR. An explicit repeal of ECHR and withdrawal from the European convention on human rights would be required, and there are people agitating for that. Once that's out of the way it's entirely possible for Parliament to start legalizing open season on whoever they like.

The precedent is, of course, Northern Ireland, and the endless litigation since Bloody Sunday and similar incidents ("soldier F").

Trump 2024 is going to be very different from 2016. Trump's first couple of years were hampered because he appointed a bunch of Bush people who were fine pushing Bush-type policies (like the tax cut) but dragged their feet on Trump's. And then his second couple were hampered by Congress and the Supreme court.

Trump 2024 will be able to do whatever he wants.

Ask HN: How to train a LLM against a knowledge base
I understand that this might be a bit late to ask this question, and I don’t know a lot about AI/ML in general. I have to train/tune a pre-trained model for specific context. By context, I mean a knowledge base, a product’s documentation, or user manual, or in my case, an inventory of electronic items in our warehouse.

I tried dumping the inventory information and basic BOM content as a system message for ChatGPT4-o model using their platform playground, and asking questions like “we are making 1000 power banks this month, so which components should I pre-order so that we don’t run out of them?”. This works as expected, but it took me a while to realize that each query used more than 30K tokens! That’s a quick way to lose money.

I am looking for a solution from someone who trained/tuned a decent LLM on custom data, and I’m pretty sure a lot of other small business owners are looking for something like this. Thank you!
I think OP is trying to say exactly what you’re arguing
Other than more than a million Americans died due to Trump's gross mishandling of the pandemic? The idiot damn near collapsed our medical system!

He also figured out a way to turn our farmers into Welfare Queens due to his misguided trade war with China. Trump disrupted the supply chains before the pandemic hit.

Finally, Trump managed to take an economy that was running on all cylinders and start curtailing economic growth - and that's before the pandemic hit. Trump drove the deficits up at a faster rate than Reagan - that's quite an accomplishment! That factors into inflation - as Reagan himself pointed out when he was complaining about Carter's deficits.

The United States simply can't afford four more years of Trump.
That's genuinely creative. I mean the execution, not the act itself. Imagine spending hours in a darkroom to create passable smut and knowing there's a market for that. I guess it's true that any new tech will have one of its first applications dedicated to tickling our monkey brains

You're comparing Horizon to cloud storage services, which I think is unfair. Horizon is focused on the sharing aspect. Uploading to Google Drive and OneDrive is not as effortless as Horizon and won't provide the same frictionless viewing experience for whoever you share the links to.

Horizon is actually cheaper than alternatives, including Gyazo and Streamable, as said in another person's comment.

Global encryption is enabled at rest for every file, but with a key that I control. Toggling the Encryption feature (capital E to distinguish the feature name), encrypts the file again with a key not stored by Horizon. This info can be found in the help center.

My grandfather was a watchmaker and jeweler. He worked on mechanical watches ranging from the everyday to moderately high end. Despite this, he was as into gizmosity as you could possibly get.

He had a Casio Databank and would talk about how it was a calculator and could store phone numbers. The buttons on that thing were microscopic, and I can't imagine how it was actually worth the effort to program phone numbers into it or use it as a calculator. Nonetheless, he did. When the strap lugs broke, he fixed them with JB Weld. He usually had on two or three watches at any given time: his own, a customer's watch that he was testing after a repair, and that damned Casio, grey JB Weld and all.

I'm absolutely astonished that he didn't own one of these. It would have been right up his alley. If he was still alive, I'd call him and ask him about this. For that matter, I'd have loved to hear his take on the Apple Watch as well.

What a loss. Killer Elite was one of my favorite modern pieces of war reporting. Wright didn't let the hilariously dystopic "embedded" rules muzzle him or intimidate him - no, he went to play bullet dodger with Marine Recon.

This argument is always so divided into very thoroughly mine-protected trenches it’s insane.

The anti-rust crowd treat the language like it has more boilerplate than JavaScript and that it’s the most complex language out there while offering no benefits, which just isn’t true. It’s a great language with a lot of features that are huge advantages over C/C++.

The rust evangelists treat it like it’s the second coming and that you’re literally killing babies if you aren’t letting the language enforce its paradigms on you. The forced safety the language offers is a great feature in 2024, but it is not a be all end all thing - there are plenty places where it just isn’t necessary and creates more work for the programmer. The argument is also usually “everything should be rust” but the moment you point out a use case where its advantages don’t matter, they say “well the rewrites only need to happen for <x critical direct networked service>” - that then means everything doesn’t need to be rust, no?

Like most things, the correct path is somewhere in the middle. I personally don’t like Rust’s syntax, generics, not being object oriented, etc - but that’s just my opinion and is no more valid or invalid than the next. At the end of the day, use the language you like most and are comfortable with, as long as you understand the benefits and drawbacks of each.

Yea, it's kind of terrifying that we are slowly putting all of our eggs in the GPS basket. I love GPS but when lives are at stake, you need a redundant backup navigation system that is robustly deployed and reliably works.
And this is exactly why S3 is meant for developers. The average person does not want to think about limits they cannot control, like a burst in viewership for an image they uploaded.
For any compiler, "supporting" a certain CPU or GPU only means that they can generate correct translated code with that CPU or GPU as the execution target.

It does not mean that the compiler is able to generate code that has optimal performance, when that can be achieved by using certain instructions without a direct equivalent in a high-level language.

No compiler that supports the Intel-AMD ISA knows how to use all the instructions available in this ISA.
We do something very similar with embeddings in our product. Users import files that they have to match to a dynamically-defined target schema. The embedding matching provides suggested matches to the user that are generally very accurate, so they don't have to go through and manually match up "telephone" to "phone number" etc. It even works across languages.
