I understand your frustration. I had to dig quite a bit to find numbers I could use, because there are multiple energy categories that are used inconsistently: solar&wind, all renewables, non-fossil. Then they are combined with two main ways of measuring them: capacity and average production. Then there are targets, predictions and in-production. It is a nightmare to get fair 1:1 comparisons.
Thanks for your answer.

For 1, what is a good n? More than NUM_CPU probably does not make sense, right? But would I want to keep it lower?

Also, you dispatch transactions in your queue? You define your whole workload upfront, send it to the queue and wait for it to finish?

I already know about this, but it is more of a playground than a serious testing environment. I'm talking full blown multi-round interviews with varying human teams to look at all aspects of the job. I have not seen anyone outside the field put these kinds of resources into evaluating models for their business purpose. But I feel we are not far from that.
Okay, but the large corporations already exist, no? Large government also equals large corporations?

> But we have argued that consciousness may have evolved to facilitate key social adaptive functions. Rather than helping individuals survive, it evolved to help us broadcast our experienced ideas and feelings into the wider world.

Or it was a side-effect of creating empathy (mirror neurons,) which is useful to not short-sightedly do eye-for-an-eye, thereby killing off your social context every Thursday. Perhaps this allowed us to become more aggressively competitive/greedy, while still preserving family social cohesion.

If you (1) can feel empathy but (2) it still feels a little bit different from your own emotions, it doesn't seem far-fetched that it would lead to self awareness. The (2) could happen simply because the eyes' bandwidth is much higher than story telling is, making your own experiences feel more nuanced.
Trump is (a) a narcissist, and (b) not a _complete_ idiot. There is no world in which he does this if he wins, because it would certainly not deliver while he was still president, and in practice it would likely only deliver after he was dead (bear in mind that he's nearly 80). Anything along those lines from him should be expected to be flashy, but relatively short timelines, because it will be very important to him that it's all about him.

Assuming you're in the right, your only hope is to go viral on social media. This post is a good start. More and more companies at scale have given up on customer service unless you can get enough eyeballs on the issue.
it's so cute, I love everything about it
Love this, I totally agree. That's why we want to find a way to make this work without algorithms. We know what hits us in the same way as something else. I'd love to build this site to achieve close to what you suggest.
Recently I see more and more articles and social media posts surprised about the current youth’s lack of a mental model how computers actually work. I assume this is due to smartphones and tablets not letting them experiment. Laptop hardware is also usually not made to tinker with.

OP, I think you’re doing your daughter a great service with building an attitude that computers are just machines that can be learned about and understood. I started with HTML at 10 years old, and it gave me a lasting passion about the internet and connecting the world, leading to peace among distant people. Nowadays as an adult I’m unfortunately disillusioned due to negative aspects of social media, dating apps, and fake news, but alas..

Maybe in the future you can show her light javascript, the WAMP stack to make a guestbook (beware of spam nowadays), a cat image gallery with upload function (and a password). The latter features requiring something like PHP or perhaps python nowadays, and some database (I used mysql 25 years ago, perhaps sqlite or postgres nowadays?)

Show HN: ProgressLine – Track commands progress in a compact one-line format
A bit about me:
Originally, I'm an iOS developer, but over time, I became interested in CLI and DevEx, which ultimately led to the creation of my first CLI utility in Swift.

Project creation story:
I enjoy interactive and functional command-line interfaces with good UX, which often includes beautifully displaying the progress of ongoing operations. I wanted the ability to show a nice progress status for any command or script, but at the time, I couldn't find any solutions that suited my needs. Most community offerings are good libraries for specific programming languages. So, I decided this was the perfect moment to test my skills and Swift's capabilities in writing CLI utilities.

In my opinion, Swift did an excellent job (although it doesn't have as rich a set of relevant libraries as Rust, for example).

The main challenge turned out to be cross-platform support:

- Currently (Swift 5.10), Swift doesn't support full cross-compilation, making it impossible to build a Linux version on macOS. However, this capability will be available in Swift 6! This limitation forced me to use Docker, slightly complicating the release flow.

- Unlike macOS, Linux doesn't come with pre-installed Swift libraries (obviously), so they need to be embedded (statically linked) into the binary file, which significantly increases its size, even after stripping. I hope the strip process will become more efficient in the future.

Overall, I'm pleased with the result and would be thrilled if my small utility proves useful to others. :)
Things like these are rote memorized solutions that fill what could otherwise be useful problem solving or software knowledge space in my brain.

They're dumb.
Good points here. What we want to achieve is something akin to the 'support' act before a headline set. Where a more successful artist champions a smaller artist because they like what they are doing. With this site the goal is for artists to share fans to help grow their fan base. This version is the first step towards that. If that makes any sense :)

More accurately: the industry vastly overestimates the requirement for SPA and the typical app vastly under-utilises its capabilities.

I recently had developers blink slowly and ask me to repeat the statement that an ordinary ASP.NET Razor web forms app could be used for a site that had a single form on it (with about a dozen text fields only).

"But... how... can it submit? Doesn't it need an API?"
will this mean that we'll be able to remove the arbitrary distinctions between quadro and geforce cards maybe by hacking some configs or such in the drivers?

Until 2018 it had 35% corporation tax, which was high, and giant corporations happened anyway. It's now down to 21%, which is the EU average.

Maybe? That doesn't seem to be particularly small government, though. It has anticompetition powers, and just hasn't used them.

> less inclined to regulate for stuff like data privacy

I don't know what the this stuff is, but the government's size wouldn't really change if they did this more. Some states already do it, and there are huge numbers of regulations to follow already. That's why drugs take years to hit the market; the FDA process is long.
I think this might have made sense in the past, actually, and it's at least arguable that cloud-integrated tools might benefit from it, but FWIW the web "workbench" is gone in the FreeCAD 0.22-dev releases and won't be in 1.0, so no more in-app browser.

Your characterization of the author is way off the mark.

Victoria Smith isn't an "anti-trans activist", she's a feminist, who focuses mostly on issues of motherhood and ageism - and has a well-received book published on the latter. She writes for numerous publications across the political spectrum, including the New Statesman and The Independent.
Great feedback! I'm pleased to say genres are coming, all tracks are tagged by genre already so it's just a matter of waiting till we have enough to show them by genre.
Thanks for the link, but I don't see a problem with that question. If you find it difficult, I wouldn't want you anywhere near the code base of my (hypothetical) company. So I guess the question would be doing its job just fine, for both of us.
Data anonymity methods and privacy safeguards unfit for modern data
Depends on where you're working on the stack. Humans processes ( accounting, HR, etc) are complex by having evolved in world of murky definitions, but they work because people generally understand things and fill the gap. When trying to model those, then yes for sure things are going to look complex and you don't have much choice.

However, for all technical things, then i've noticed that things can be made quite obvious if you really focus on the exact problem you actually have to solve, and have a good understanding of its nature.
You’d be surprised! With many apps on the iPhone you can get by

Edit a video? Built in app, or your social media app is already loaded with that and you can save state instead of posting

Reverse a video? There’s an app for that which just goes back into your Photos app to let you tried that content

and so on

people dont need to have that mental model until something breaks
"everyday stuff like log parsing"

Unless youre talking about using tail / grepping some linux logs I've never done this once let alone on a daily basis...

But if needed frankly I would look up any needed regex / pattern for this on the job and on the fly. The topic of "log parsing" is massive anyway. What types of logs? Is this something like request logs from NGINX? Custom stderr / stdout from some cron job? Some sort of horrible XML based system dump? I could go on and on...

When you know the solution already of course its obvious.
That can also be said about other social groups. At some point, entities like a nation, a country, a social class and others develop self-awareness.

Although, there is a difference; while an organism is the one saying "I" and not the cells or tissues. In a social group it's an individual (or group of them) that says "We".

Platform engineer / Lead actually! Have written plenty of filthy scripts in my time ;)
> Not doing your own thinking is bad, actually.

IMO:
"AI" kind of highlights a fact that has been prevalent forever. Fascism, Marketing, FinBoys, Bubbles, TRL, Social Media, Influencers & Streamers, now AI ... and Musicians, Artists, making money and giving less and less shit all the way ... not doing your own thinking while ignoring all negative effects & side-effects for the benefit of the super-ego & the pseudo-dominant financial hierarchies is a long-running method of cooptation and incorporation, it's a slow burn FUBU death cult, but only if you look in that direction or lose focus, which is why adventurers, explorers, scientists, engineers, nerds, tend to concentrate and constantly zoom in and out. in essence, people who don't do their own thinking, tend to be quite "open & receptive"
That sums up a lot of peoples' relationship with the state. Only it's the "social contract" and you can't get out of it.

Good guy with a ladder.
30% is plain ridiculous. Cloudflare is believed to counts as bots even the real users who fail their verification, including:

- people with older browsers who fail it automatically due to unsupported features

- whoever gets stuck in captcha loops and gives up eventually

- whoever has a slow internet connection and gives up during the verification process

This happens to be a lot of people, especially the less technical ones with less access to good technology, which is why we rarely hear complaints on HN.

This way, the Cloudflare people can tell you some completely made up numbers, like "This month we blocked one gazillion malicious bots and saved you 30 yottabytes of data", which makes it look like they're doing something of value instead of making the internet a more closed, restricted, corporate and centralized place.

Mid-tier gaming GPU performance, but (potentially) access to gobs of memory (if running on a host with gobs of memory) owing to the unified memory design. For certain use cases which require loading huge datasets but don't necessarily require massive compute (i.e. inference on large models) they can be cost-competitive relative to something like an H100.
It's only a tool. Moral judgement should be reserved for human actions and decisions around its use in a particular case.
> Only one party has a policy platform of gutting state and federal bodies that are thorns in their climate change denialism.

Neither Republicans nor Democrats have such a policy platform. The official 2024 Republican Party Platform [0] doesn't mention anything about gutting the NOAA.

Project 2025 isn't part of the Republican platform–it isn't an official Republican Party document. It is just a wishlist from a coalition of conservative thinktanks. While those thinktanks are Republican-aligned, it would be a mistake to think any given GOP politician (Trump included) necessarily agrees with any or all of their proposals (or is even aware of them), and their proposals have no official status in the Republican Party. From time to time, Democratic-aligned thinktanks and groups publish their own "wishlists", and those aren't official Democratic Party policies either.

I just went down the rabbit hole of reading this post and the entire thread. As someone who has been looking for a junior job, it's probably the most depressing thing I've ever read. I've been on the market for over 6 months, I've sent countless resumes out and tried various techniques, but I'm not even getting a nibble.
For better or worse, that is the inherent assumption - that a smartwatch is a companion device to a smartphone. The idea of ditching the phone entirely is, arguably, an unintended consequence of releasing smartwatch variants with built-in LTE connectivity. Giving the app developers the benefit of doubt, it's understandable they don't want to make a standalone app for a fraction off the smartwatch models, where they can do with one simpler extension app for all smartwatches.
The "verification" nodes don't do anything to prevent censorship by miners.

The threshold isn't quite 50%+. If one of the 49% nodes mines a block with a would-be censored transaction, the censoring notes have to make an economic decision to try to mine a replacement block and then a second block on top of that to rewrite the chain. At 100% this is easy, but at just 51% it's a costly gamble that will frequently fail at a huge dollar cost.

A block costs $200k at current prices. At just over 50% of the network, you are gambling at least two blocks to force a rewrite.
This is a fantastic website. Thanks for the link!
Well, I guess now it's a good time for developers to come up with their own ideas instead of working on somebody else's.

Some may be reminded of the Magi supercomputers in NERV, but here's a mnemonic inspired by the precogs in Minority Report:

1) helpful prover : the good twin

2) sneaky prover : the evil twin

3) verifier : the foster sister
The comments to this article are on the whole super depressing and haven't really matched my experience (again, on the whole), so I wanted to offer some dissenting opinions:

I don't think it's true that interviewers are in general incapable of identifying skills in others that they don't have. That would be like me being unable to acknowledge Da Vinci's genius because I can only draw stick figures.

A lot of these comments make interviews out to be a battle of wits where you are trying to best your interviewer: If you identify a gap in their knowledge, show them up (and that's what they are doing with their questions). My approach is that the interviewer is trying to find out what it would be like to have me as a colleague. Bringing up things because you think your colleague won't know them and then not explaining them is just obnoxious.

There are bad interviews where all these tropes play out. If you went in with a positive mindset and still left with a bad taste, then count yourself lucky because you don't want to work there.

But it feels like if you go in expecting an idiot interviewer who can't see your genius and, even worse, wants to show you how much cleverer they are than you, one way or another you won't have a good interview experience, and you'll be left convinced that the grapes are sour.
"Privacy Zuckering" has a ring to it.

I'm not sure I understand why what you describe isn't just the behaviour of the system? Even a mechanical system (take two connected cogs on separate shafts, turn one..) you could say something similar about.

Surely 'self-awareness' is intended to be about reasoning that the output shaft turned because [...], that the turn was made towards sunlight because [...]. I think this is what you're getting at with the human being able to say 'I', but I don't think you can gloss over that in that case, because it's the whole point isn't it?
> That needs to be straight up illegal with serious repercussions - for both those who offer the kickback, and those who accept it.

The system is _designed_ this way. The ones who make the laws profit the most from this issues.

Jokes aside, impressive for a 7 years old!
I also accept that when the job market tightens you are more likely to encounter worse interviews and worse interviewees because that is what is left in the pool.

The problem is when the market widens again and you look at every interview opportunity with jaded eyes and can't identify good from bad anymore.
It indeed a failure of society, a sobering one at that.

I remember from my kid/teenage years that there used to be a lot of clocks in the environment, both analog and digital, both public and private (e.g. digital clock scrolling between ads on a LED billboard over a store). I do also remember you couldn't exactly trust them - often enough, they would be broken, or they would show the wrong time for weeks after switching from/to DST. Analog clocks were the worst, because they rarely had a second hand, so you couldn't easily tell if they're working at all.
