Poorer is debatable. Ppl in eu usually can afford going to a hospital or going to school/uni- for us it isn't that straightforward

And saying eventually everyone will cater to tourism is peak us ignorance. The tourism sector in eu is fairly small, even in the (over) touristic italy. Just the fact you mentioned this leads me to think you are an ignorant american that likes how people suffer from being poor and being exploited by big corpos...

TL;DR: consider using worktrees not as a replacement for branches, but as a means to manage concurrency in your tasks. My level of concurrency is:

main for looking at the pristine code,

work for looking at my code,

review for looking at someone else’s code,

fuzz for my computer to look at my code,

scratch for everything else!

```

> You mean the ones fabricated with European photolithography machines?

Interesting discussion recently, I forget if it was on here. Those lithography machines are built with the worst spaghetti code imaginable and the engineering is so close to black magic that development is painfully slow. In other words, that space is ripe for disruption and there might be some attempts at that in the near future.
Regulation can be good. For example car sector and expanding car centric infra including erasing old towns killed a lot more ppl and had a huge environmental impact in us compared to eu where this sector was more regulated. So long term the suffering got bigger in us compared to eu because us had poor regulation and poor decision makers
Federal Receipts as Percent of Gross Domestic Product:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFRGDA188S

Basically stable since WWII, which is kind of nuts considering it's still only just below the level necessary for a World War, and on top of that real GDP per capita has increased, so this is a huge increase in taxation per capita over time even adjusted for inflation.

And yet with a much smaller budget the WPA and so on did more, which does quite imply that the problem is government efficiency rather than government revenue.
In lwn comments a guy insists that “O(f(n)) is by definition a bound over the worst-case case input to a function.”

Is that actually true?

Mathematically: O(f(n)) is asymptotic bound when n approaches infinity, which could be used to describe worst, best, average and other cases.

Have programmers redefined O to specifically mean worst case?
Teaching Paradox, Imperator, Part IIa: Pops and Chains
In the article one of the authors of the proof describes a key breakthrough as happening when he contracted covid and was thereby forced to spend 3 months in bed with nothing to do but think.

As an aside, Europeans have families, lives, distractions etc just like people in the US. Source: have lived in Europe for 30+ years. Have a family and lots of distractions. Have not proved any major mathematical theorems. (yet I suppose- there's still time)
After a family member died I took on the task of digitizing several laundry baskets of photo prints.

I bought an Epson ES-580 automated document feed scanner, and still am pleased whenever I use it. The workflow for digitizing them was: USB stick directly in the scanner, put ~200 same-size photos at a time in the feeder, press "Go" and it'd scan about 3 seconds per photo (at 600 DPI, closer to 1 at 300 DPI). While scanning I'd set up the next stack, and periodically copy everything from the USB stick to a NAS.

Incidentally I used to work in a film darkroom and have a bit of experience with negative and slide scanners. Even in the best cases, they're tedious and finicky. If you want to digitize a perfectly clean 35 mm and scale it up to poster size then perhaps it's worth the effort. If you want to just preserve memories, even a bad photo of a damaged 4x6 print can still mean a lot.
I find it the other way- lots of contracting roles in europe coming from US/Switzerland. There are also many roles coming from different eu countries to other eu countries. In other words it doesn't seem to have such a big impact
Ask HN: Is there a site to make a trip itinerary knowing the destination cities?
I was wondering, is there a site/service where a person can list a few cities in XY county/countries, and the site will list a full itinerary as follows:

- City 1:
— things to do/visit 1
— things to do/visit 2

- City 2:
— things to do/visit 1
— things to do/visit 2

And then list the most efficient commute, for example:
City 1 - City 2: Train 65 (Station A - Station B)
City 2 - City 3: Train 43 (Station J - Station B)

Or similar, and a cherry on top would be even looking for the best flights too.

I believe it should be easy given most of these can be pulled from other APIs. If not, such services already exist. Not to mention, with the help of AI, you can have a full itinerary with “book now” buttons for all of what’s listed.

If such a service doesn’t exist, hopefully it inspires someone for their new startup!

> Given that, I still don’t understand how predicting the next two branches is different from predicting the next branch and then the next after that, i.e. two times the same thing.

I'm not involved in CPU design, I just read a lot, but...

I think you need to do something special to have a second prediction, because you have to track three windows of out of order execution:

Window 0: code you're definitely running but is still being completed.

Window 1: code from the branch you think will be taken

Window 2: code from the 2-ahead branch you think will be taken.

If you figure out that the window 1 branch isn't taken, you have to drop the whole pipeline (pipeline bubble). But if you figure out that window 1 is taken, then window 1 becomes window 0 and window 2 bcomes window 1.

With a 1 ahead predictor, the pipeline stalls if you get to a conditional branch while speculating in window 1, because the processor can't manage three instruction windows.

IMHO, it sounds like if the core is doing SMT and both threads are active, each thread only gets 1-ahead prediction because the two windows are statically divided between the cpu threads. This may mean a) a significant boost for some loads when SMT is not in use and b) SMT can branch predict in both threads in the same cycle, I don't think that was possible on AMD before (no idea for other vendors)

My wife found a cool 1896 Harper's School Geography textbook at an antique shop and got it for me, and it had the original pupil's name and signature (and date of 1897!) written on the front matter, but there are also a few other handwritten notes and the name of the school itself... it's such a neat little self-contained time capsule.

It also boggles my mind:

1. How accurate it was, in terms of map fidelity

2. The quality of the illustrations and prints, many of which are in several (what I imagine was offset?) colors!

3. How well it's held up. The cover looks essentially completely trashed, but the interior of the book's pages are almost entirely intact, and in great shape. (I'm not worried of them turning to dust in my hands, for instance.)

It's always fascinating to see just how little has changed, especially among schoolkids in nigh on 300 years!

Here's essentially the exact book I'm talking about, so it's not _that_ uncommon. Looks to be in almost identical condition, too: https://www.ebay.com/itm/184283104558
If you think EUV lithography is 'ripe for disruption', then sir, I wish you and your VCs all the best. :)
> Interesting discussion recently, I forget if it was on here. Those lithography machines are built with the worst spaghetti code imaginable and the engineering is so close to black magic that development is painfully slow.

It sounds like "spaghetti code" is not actually the competitive disadvantage software engineers imagine it to be.

I say that as a software engineer.

Pretty sure there's a lot more to those machines than software.

> In other words, that space is ripe for disruption and there might be some attempts at that in the near future.

Not because of "spaghetti code," but because of US-led sanctions. China has technical talent, a lot of money, and now motivation to enter that space.

Hmm. I wonder. While I'm sure your math is correct, there are differences outside of the paper itself. For example, we're not going to the general store and buying pieces of paper one at a time from the merchant.

"I'll have 17 pieces good sir"

We can order bulk from Amazon in the form of a package of 500 sheets for $10, but that paper is also higher and lower quality than the paper from 200 years ago. (Thinner, for one thing..).

Of course, buying 500 sheets is part of the whole change in our economy. Mass production enables part of that. It seems, to me, so very hard to equate wage to purchase this way, not just for paper but anything.

Even food, the massive change that pesticides, fertilizer, and crop rotation(huge!), safe canning, refrigeration, all these things mean that food costs have plummeted.

Even different strains of crops, storage methods, the last century has seen yields increase immensely from the same land.
> Many companies don’t hire in Europe because it’s too risky to get a dud employee that you can’t fire without having to pay their salary for the next 6 months.

That's what trial periods are for, within the first 1-12 months (depending on position and sector) you can very easily get rid of employees. That's when you're supposed to evaluate their performance and fit.

And if they don't do their job afterwards you reprimand them and they can then be fired for cause if you have actual causes.

For Face ID, just close your eyes.
It’s all European regulation really. The cyber resilience security act is another example. You are compelled to come out with security fixes for the life of the product. If this is embedded hardware this gets increasingly difficult.

Imagine you come out with a secure boot product for the pi. Currently this is considered beta at the moment. In any case it’s quite possible that it could change, making it impossible to provide an update.

So under this regulation do you think anyone will offer any extended warranties ? The small amount of extra money will not be worth the massive extra risk.

15 million euros fine or 2% of your income doesn’t make for a very attractive incentive on platforms where it’s complex and risky to perform low level upgrades for example.

So expect increasingly shorter product lifetimes going forward and more and more products that just won’t be released in Europe, I expect even ones developed by European companies. And what do you think about small players who can’t even afford one court care for example ?

I work at a company that manages docs, chat, and tasks (amongst many others), we of course use our product internally. AI search (chatgpt-like, you ask a question, it answers) was added a while ago.

My experience has been that it really is a huge improvement, you don't need to guess which words were used to describe the issue, you just describe your issue, tell the system what you want, and the results are there. Chat's been busy and you remember an issue was raised in a thread a week ago? With traditional search, good luck finding it. Now, I just write "Tom raised this week an issue in this chat about something not working with reminders??" and the results are there.

Someone at the company uses it to manage Dungeons and Dragons play nights, they document their world, their plays, etc, he wrote probably a smaller book worth of content, then can ask AI what happened 4 months ago with a characters instead of trying to search.
Many are fed up with the status quo, the other portion seems intolerant of any criticism of state largess. As another comment has pointed out, those who approve of the state's spending and feel it is a good value are free to donate to the Treasury Dept.

I imagine this wouldn't be so controversial if taxes were not so exorbitant, if the tax code was straightforward and if institutions were more inspiring of the public's confidence. Class warfare isn't an alternative to acknowledging these problems.
> The only possible way to make this statement with confidence is never measuring the overhead of tasks and goroutines. Tasks are lighter than goroutines, especially memory-wise.

> In general, I think you either never worked with .NET at all

What a wild assumption to make, so I'll maybe counter it with the same claim for Go because what you write here isn't really true. It might be if you use standard goroutines which run with 8 KB stacks (even worse on Windows where you're paying an additional 4k because... well because Windows), but you both can and should modify this.

https://go.dev/src/runtime/stack.go

> Try spawning one million tasks and then one million goroutine.

I can run around 50 million goroutines on my macbook air. I can barely run 100k tasks. Task which again are asynchronous, which comes with a range of issues that you conveniently skipped talking about. I think that it is fine that you love C# and apparently hate Go, but maybe your personal opinion is getting in the way a little?

I am curious about what your setup was, I have several systems, not sure I would call it a homelab but I rarely have to do anything. I am using Truenas for my ZFS storage and I have a few NUCs to run extra QoL services.

The only time I do anything with this stuff is when I want to upgrade (which is very rare) or add something. My NAS solution is a custom mini-ITX I built 8 years ago which I feel has more than paid for itself. I have long stopped chasing the latest and greatest because most of what has been produced in the last decade is very usable.

Very wary of going cloud, as I can't as easily control costs.
No, I believe you are forgetting the context. Big O is a upper bound on the growth rate of a function. In this case the function describes the time taken, therefore a higher time is a "worse case". So Big O is, in this scenario, a bound on the worst case time taken (essentially what the commenter said).

Certainly as I understand it your definition of Big O is incorrect - it provides exclusively an upper bound. Big Omega is used for a lower bound and Big Theta for an upper and lower bound.
Statistically this works out pretty well.

If you spent real money on something, you're far more likely to buy it again or buy it for someone or send that link to someone than a completely new product.

Hmm, you bring up an interesting point. Contradiction and proof by it are very powerful (proof by induction or contradiction being the two from classical logic). IF we consider that fully centralized (100% centralized) or fully decentralized (evenly spread, even density) are the extremes then maybe we have an idea, and maybe the real terrain is somewhere in the middle, but now we're talking spring mechanics of decision making and rarefaction and compression of decisions. Maybe something closer to how expressivity behaves.
> What do you think will happen to prices for context-based advertising if targeted advertising goes away?

It's quite obvious, isn't it? They will stop buying ads altogether.

The entire reason targeted ads pay better is because they have a higher conversion rate, so advertisers can afford to pay more.

> Many of the ads that finance the YouTube ecosystem are context-based and not targeted.

And that's why shovel-ware "personal finance" crap YouTube channels make mega-bux, while actually interesting creators earn pennies. If you want more "junk food content", have at it: Ban all the targeted ads!

I have switched to Gentoo as my main Linux distribution for desktops and laptops around 2003. Gentoo still has reasonably good documentation today, but in the beginning its documentation was really outstanding and I have learned a lot from it.

Then, some time more than 10 years ago, perhaps around 2010 or 2011, the Gentoo package system began to have some annoying problems and I have discovered Funtoo at the same time. At that time Funtoo was clearly better, so I have switched to it.

I have used Funtoo for about a decade on a large variety of computers with great success. Then, a few years ago, the package system began to have maintenance problems, like packages that were not updated for long periods, becoming obsolete.

At that time I have switched back to Gentoo, which I am still using.

Due to their great similarity, switching between Gentoo and Funtoo is very easy. Therefore anyone who still uses Funtoo can easily go back to Gentoo with minimal effort.

In any case, I am extremely grateful to Daniel Robbins, the creator of Gentoo and Funtoo, for his work. Like also the work of other great contributors to open-source software, it has saved many years of my life that would have been required to duplicate the results of such work.

The production limit isn't in the amount of VRAM. They could offer any of their existing consumer GPUs in versions with more VRAM with prices that add twice their own cost for the extra VRAM (but still far less than the datacenter versions) and thereby sell the same GPUs for higher margins.

This might even leave gamers with more GPUs, because right now there are people buying e.g. four 24GB consumer GPUs to run a large model, and they could instead buy one 96GB GPU and leave three more for gamers.

My understanding is that frequentist statistics was developed in response to the Bayesian methodology which was prevalent in the 1800s and which was starting to be perceived as having important flaws. The idea that the invention of Bayesian statistics made frequentist statistics obsolete doesn't quite agree with the historical facts.
