> I thought the pattern was more "first son inherits, second son goes into the Army or Navy, third et al go into the clergy." And a clerical life was not bad at all, until 1850 or so.

At the time of the historical Macbeth the pattern would have perhaps been similar, but would not have involved the Navy. Especially not for a king of Scotland.

> the amount of radiation you are exposed to does accumulate its negative affects

What kind of radiation? If you mean ionizing radiation, the evidence, as far as I know, is mixed; some indicates there is buildup over time, some indicates that there are threshold effects and single doses below threshold, separated in time, do not accumulate. We do have lifetime dose limits as well as single exposure dose limits for such radiation because the evidence is mixed and we can't rule out that there are accumulation effects.

But if you mean non-ionizing radiation, such as is used in the millimeter wave security scanners, there is no evidence of accumulation of effects over time from low doses (i.e., doses that do not cause immediate harmful effects) that I'm aware of. Do you know of any?
Sunday was the hottest day ever recorded on Earth, scientists say
The rates of violent crime, murder, and untreated mental illness directly correlate in the US with the rate of poverty. In locations where poverty is very high, the murder rate is very high (and that combo is amplified by population density).

That's due to the exceptionally mediocre social safety net in the US, among numerous other causes.

If you're in the bottom 1/3 you have very limited access to quality+sustained mental health treatment. If you're in the top 1/3, you have nearly unlimited access to getting treatment for a mental illness.

It's not millionaires roaming the streets of US cities looking like zombies, blasted out on drugs, hauling around untreated mental illnesses.
Nope. Sitting down is a great way for you to rest and focus.

The real problem is that when you regularly put your body into any specific position for a long time, you really need to stretch the opposite position to make sure your muscles stay flexible instead of locking up.

I spend a lot of time sitting at work and home. So I make sure I always inverse the stiffing muscles by stretching the inverse position. Just stretching 5 min a day (and going for a 30+ minute walk) fixed the problems I previously had.
Open training data would be great too.

Did you reply to the right post?

You say "it's your responsibility to hold them accountable for their actions and to check at that level"- but all I see in the parent comments is people discussing politics. People saying "I think this law is bad" is a critical part of the exact democratic process you seem to hold in high regard. That's how you get a consensus among the electorate that can push representatives to oppose future surveillance legislation and repeal existing stuff.

(If you replied to the wrong comment, and meant to say this to somebody proposing overthrowing democracy or whatever, disregard my comment, obviously!)
7 / 2 = 3 is similarly nonsense. It's just more familiar.

How about 5 - 8 = 0? Sensible result for the natural numbers.

X + 7? Surely you meant addition modulo 2^64.

What's the count leading zeros on zero? Is it zero, 64, random noise found in a register?

What's X shifted by word size? Zero? Minus one? X?

These are all choices. Some are familiar. But knowing integer divide zero is wrong is a tenant of faith.

If the software industry could reliably overhaul these things without being far over budget and making them demonstrably worse for all involved maybe there’d be more takers.
GPU memory costs about $2.5/GB on the spot market, so that is $500 for 200GB. I would speculate that it might be possible to build such a LLM card for $1-2k, but I suspect that the market for running larger LLMs locally is just too small to consider, especially now that the datacentre is so lucrative.

Maybe we'll get really good LLMs on local hardware when the hype has died down a bit, memory is cheaper and the models are more efficient.

In this specific case, it’s part of an automatic scheduler that performs hundreds of thousands of range queries in a real-time interactive use case, so small improvements here can make a huge difference to the overall feel of the application. A lot of scheduling applications take seconds or minutes to run queries like that, but that would be way too slow for real-time interactions like I’m doing.

The current approach I’m using takes tens of milliseconds for some large test cases (which is great!), however I’d like to improve on it more so I could eventually run much bigger cases at real-time interactive speeds too.
It may be more famous here or there but the point is that everyone recognizes the Olympics, regardless of how tuned into sports they are.
> I'm in the 1% and so are most of the people around me. Many of them want to ride good public transit.

Agreed. The point the GP is trying to make though is that "good public transit" isn't /just/ about infrastructure, it's also about the society around that infrastructure that produces the people who ride it with you. I happily ride public transport while I'm in Europe and even in Latin America, I won't ride it in the US. It's not that I'm opposed to public transport, in fact the opposite, it's that in the US I am likely to be violently accosted, murdered, or robbed while that's basically never going to happen to me in Europe or even in Latin America.

Don’t believe the BS. Simply make sure you stretch the inverse sitting position every day for 5 min and go for a 30 min walk. It solved all my sitting problems. Sitting down is a great way for you to relax and focus.
The core of the big modern (relative term here given these designs are pretty old by now) bombs are implosion fission devices that then trigger a secondary fusion explosion. The core of that primary bomb is a plutonium ball called a pit that gets crushed to trigger the initial explosion. Then the xrays released by that get reflected and use in a secondary fusion device in the tiny amount of time the shell of the bomb lasts.

Has anyone "secretly" placed nukes in space yet?
I'm sure someone here knows -- how many actively procured munitions could have their payload swapped for a nuclear payload? Are there "rules" against building "nuclear compatible" munitions?
Maybe for the time being. I don't see how else they monetize the incredible amount the spent on the models without forcing people to lock into models or benefits or something else.

My understanding is that the theory behind nuclear winter is that all of the nuked cities will ignite, and the massive firestorms will eject ash into the upper atmosphere where it will persist for years. Aka you still need to blow up some cities to cause the winter.

Also nuclear winter is somewhat controversial, I don’t know what the latest model results are.

The largest Let's Encrypt CRL right now is 254 KB. Most are smaller. We might want to partition into smaller shards again to hit a bit smaller size than that in the future.

Shorter certificate lifetimes will also reduce CRL sizes.

A lot of traffic comes from browsers, or TLS stacks integrated with their host operating system, which we expect will use compressed push-based methods like Mozilla's CRLite to receive more efficient data structures as well.

One thing this announcement allows us to do is motivate us to start working on making CRL mechanisms more efficient.

This isn't some UI makeover that they can push until next Tuesday.

I have been very surprised at how good LinkedIn is as a news aggregator. I work in the energy industry and there are a lot of consultants who share genuinely quality articles or links to reports, sometimes with quite insightful analysis. However to achieve that, it takes effort to block people very liberally (I block people who have no interesting technical insight, even if they are perfectly pleasant) and I follow anyone who links a good article.

The benefit of LinkedIn (for now) is that it actually respects the user's choices and curates the feed rather than filling it with whatever junk it wants (like Facebook)

This is, in fact, not a fact. We really don't know yet.

CrowdStrike blue screened one of my laptops twice right as the incident was getting started, before a fix was available. There was no boot loop in my case. I was back up and in the middle of an episode of Breaking Bad the second time it got me, 30 minutes after the first. Did the agent wait that long to load a content update it had already loaded before? Maybe, but it's at least as likely that the content was loaded the whole time, and that some activity pattern set it off. Thus, I'm skeptical of the problem being simple content validation.

It's been nearly a decade since I've had to deal with the assholes at the airport, but I'd always make sure to wait close enough to the line to not end up forgotten about. This would also cause the occasional person in line to think I was in line ahead of them, so they'd stop and wait behind me until an agent manually coaxed them forward. Sometimes they'd ask me if I was waiting and I'd get to say something like "oh, no, I'm not going near that thing". But the turbulence would generally make the agents see my waiting there as a higher priority to take care of.

When I think about "cheating taken to an artistic level," Baseball is the sport that comes to mind first. Drugs, tampering with the ball, tampering with the bat, sign stealing, and so on.

Baseball is also rife with gamesmanship. stuff that feels like it could be cheating, but isn't - or, stuff that's cheating, but mostly unenforced. There's too much to be worth talking about here. Just read [1] instead.

It makes sense that Baseball would be this way. It's stochastic. The outcome of one pitch has no innate correlation with the outcome of the next. There's relatively little causality in Baseball, and when everyone is a pro, it's hard to rely on talent alone. Some might even say it's a fool's errand.

Why have Json? We can always use binary to save a lot of space and bandwidth and the IDE will always compile it into plain text for us, why have underscore at the beginning of private variables?

Most IDEs can read the jsdocs and give us a long description of what every function does, and I could go on and on. At the end it's a balance and subjective preferences of what you want to be immediately visible or something a bit more obscure (e.g. when you move your mouse over a variable)
