That is common in several occupations. It is worth asking yourself an important question when you are deciding to become something that you are not. “Do you want to write or to be a writer?”, ”Do you want to develop software or be a software developer employee?”

Often the role/title is desired for its status and/or money. I think that’s a fair enough motivation actually, except it should not _solely_ be that. You have to want to learn and practice. Or else, counterproductively, you will have less chance to get the role/title.

In Spain used to be as low as 13 a few decades ago; but that law was obviously written before
the rural exodus of inner Spain into the cities (from the 60's to almost the 80's), as children since early puberty got to work/help in the farm/fields or at home and by age 14 they had far more duties and accountabilities than today. And yes, that yielded more maturity.

Thus, the law had to be fixed for more urban/civilized times up to 16. Altough depending on the age/mentality closeness (such as 15-19 as it happened with a recent case), the young adult had its charges totally dropped.
IMO you need both. Trams for local transit, metros for faster mid-range transit, and finally urban rail for long(ish) range transit.

Yeah, that would be a good idea.

Though sometimes the CA needs to know more than just the validation method to determine if a certificate should be revoked, and it's not practical to stuff it all in an extension (e.g. this recent GoDaddy issue which required examining past CAA queries: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1904748).

Is it best to use a FAST agreement for advisors pre-priced round (i.e. alongside SAFEs)?
I think most advocates sell UBI as a replacement for welfare and enough that people would feel "comfortable" quitting jobs they don't like, or support the disabled.

Top post for this thread mocks 12K as a negligible handout, and claims UBI has never been tried.

Let me ask you what level of UBI would support a disabled mother of two that cant work?

What level of UBI would allow a construction worker to quit their job and go back to engineering school?

These are exactly the types of things advocates claim UBI would solve (along with poverty and crime).
Ah, TIL, thanks.
I got a few new USB drives at work for testing data centre hardwares. I normally would run f3 on new flash drives but this time the deadline is so rushed so I skipped that. Then I wasted an hour diagnosing a mysterious problem, and eventually I found out the usb drive is faulty after testing it using f3.

I then tested all of them and found out 4 out of 8 of them aren’t faulty, some of them died and disappeared.

So test your hardwares, test your hardwares that’s used to test hardwares. You will never know you can trust them unless proven.

Edit: badblocks, SMART test, memtest86 and memtest86+, prime95, Intel burn test, OCCT, iperf3, etc are equally useful.

> If you don't have a way to replicate what they did to create the model, it seems more like freeware

Isn't that a bit like arguing that a linux kernel driver isn't open source if I just give you a bunch of GPL-licensed source code that speaks to my device, but no documentation how my device works? If you take away the source code you have no way to recreate it. But so far that never caused anyone to call the code not open-source. The closest is the whole GPL3 Tivoization debate and that was very divisive.

The heart of the issue is that open source is kind of hard to define for anything that isn't software. As a proxy we could look at Stallman's free software definition. Free software shares a common history with open source and in most open source software is free/libre, and the other way around, so this might be a useful proxy.

So checking the four software freedoms:

- The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose: For most purposes. There's that 700M user restriction, also Meta forbids breaking the law and requires you to follow their acceptable use policy.

- The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish: yes. You can change it by fine tuning it, and the weights allow you to figure out how it works. At least as well as anyone knows how any large neural network works, but it's not like Meta is keeping something from you here

- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor: Allowed, no real asterisks

- The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others: Yes

So is it Free Software™? Not really, but it is pretty close.

Does a tram offer anything over a regular bus?
They’re not exclusive and a good network will likely have both (and more), at least in a somewhat large city: trams are much slower and compete with others for above-ground space. Their frequency is also limited by the need for other users of the above ground to use the share space.

Trams are also not able to deal with high gradients, unless they’re hybrid rack rail, or they’re trolleys rather than trams.

Finally, metros commonly have above ground sections or lines (which is why that’s a better name for urban rapid transit in general).
One size fits no one
This is already happening - its called China.
There's a reason they don't innovate in anything, and they are always playing catch-up, except in the art of copying (stealing) from others.

I do think there are some serious IP issues, as IP rules can be hijacked in the US, but that means you fix those problems, not blow up IP that was rightfully earned

Because LinkedIn is where people bring their "professional" persona and can actually write in-depth on a subject. Which means those who know what they're talking about can actually write something worth reading.

Twitter is a flaming toxic dumpster fire whose only purpose seems to be to post hot takes, or to gang up on and bully people who disagree with you 280 characters at a time.
On the other hand if that file is shared publicly, Google might be liable under some jurisdictions IIUC.

I d assume that they check some hashes of the file against a database to check for copyright infringement. If only specific actions are not permitted on the file e.g. sharing it widely, this could seem reasonable?

Curious to learn more, what could be other actions the service provider could take to avoid getting a lawsuit?
I can't speak to the actual research but after reading various declassified documents from the Soviet Union and Maoist China, I can say truthfully that they did not believe the world would end with a nuclear exchange. Both countries had 1st strike scenarios - both believed some aspect of their government and country would survive.

Mao was particularly disconcerting, to paraphrase, "Nuclear war doesn't scare me, we've got more than enough people and cities, we can rebuild"

Upon further looking into it, I fear MAD may have been at the time an overexaggeration to prevent what would be the most devastating war. Could be true now tho - things have leveled up
From the US Geological Survey:

"At around 10:00 AM MST on July 23, 2024, a small hydrothermal explosion occurred in Yellowstone National Park in the Biscuit Basin thermal area, about 2.1 miles (3.5 km) northwest of Old Faithful. Numerous videos of the event were recorded by visitors. The boardwalk was damaged, but there were no reports of injury. The explosion appears to have originated near Black Diamond Pool.

Biscuit Basin, including the parking lot and boardwalks, are temporary closed for visitor safety. The Grand Loop road remains open. Yellowstone National Park geologists are investigating the event."
> I do find it a bit surprising, myself.

Ok let me phrase it perhaps in a more relatable way -

Your employer asks you to do an unethical or illegal thing. Not doing so will result in you losing your livelihood. Doing so presents a small but measurable risk to you, but you keep your livelihood unless caught, in which case you lose your livelihood anyway. Do you think there is a significant subset of people that take the first choice?
I see, reading about this issue it looks like eBPF can be used in Linux to sandbox kernel applications, preventing such applications from crashing the kernel as a whole.
How in the heck is an open source model that is free and open today going to lock me down, down the line? This is nonsense. You can literally run this model forever if you use NixOS (or never touch your windows, macos or linux install again). Zuck can't come back and molest it. Ever.

The best I can tell is that their self-interest here is more about gathering mindshare. That's not a terrible motive; in fact, that's a pretty decent one. It's not the bully pressing you into their ecosystem with a tit-for-tat; it's the nerd showing off his latest and going "Here. Try it. Join me. Join us."
To me, LinkedIn is another social media website where I find people posting achievements every month and get the feeling that I'm leftover with me doing PhD and wasting my time doing some less cool research. I find people getting titles, posting about their new certificated, moving to another job. Some are participating in some events in their company that I don't know about because the only events we have is seminars with some free food. I also find people from the same field of research posting about a state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm that is going to change the world. All of that while I sat down and debug some weird CUDA bugs and do fits for a data that will measure some elementary particle and improve our physics understanding of the world (which actually seems much less cool that my writing made it sound). I don't know if that is just me or that people on LinkedIn are really those super cool people who have all these achievements and cool stuff to share. I updated my LinkedIn twice in a decade. One of them after I got my Masters, and the other one was reposting a post by mistake.

Yes, I hate LinkedIn and I hate that many people in industry and academia expects you to have presence there. And I hate that networking is the first thing you should focus on to have a job.

I don't want to be famous or influencer or grow an audience. I'm not interested about all marketing yourself aspect and keeping track of how do algorithms changes affect that. I really wish that I didn't have to create an account. I don't like visiting the algorithmic timeline with this all probably fake/not-very realistic posts.
A compiler error isn't definitive about the language standard, but as a quick google search didn't turn up anything definitive, I'll do the same:

I now doubt whether it's true for either language. gcc 11 does not treat i + = 8; as equivalent to i += 8;, I get the kind of error message I'd have expected to see prior to reading the article. This occurs even if passing -std=c89 (as C89 is the oldest version of the C language that it seems to support).

Perhaps it was true prior to the C89 standard?

I'm at the point where I'd rather recruiters who care about useless metrics like that skip over me. The true signal makes itself known amongst the noise of spam-all recruiters.
Seems like this would corrupt the file. There are plenty of metadata fields you could just put some crap in (or just transpose letters in an existing string so you don't need to change any length markers.
He was my thermodynamics professor. Seriously great guy and it pains me to hear what he had to go through.
How can you tell the difference between (r,r) and (r+ε,r+ε)? The argument in the article assumes that there is an ε such that it is impossible to tell the difference between r and r+ε. So this means that the entire square can be covered by squares of side length ε and since the unit square is compact this means that there are only finitely many ε squares required to cover the entire unit square. Variation within the ε squares is imperceptible so this means there are only finitely many symbols that can be perceived to be different.
>You would think so, yes, but it's not how things work in the end.

Maybe a high number of connections causes a better first-impression, but if the candidate does not know how to write or articulate a word makes things much harder. Overall, seeing how a person expresses their ideas in their natural language gives you a better impression of how a person thinks/operates.

Which in the end matters, cause you are dealing with persons, not statistics.

For first instance recruiters, having a large number of people in your LI can get you into the first recruitment stage, but you won't pass if you don't know how to communicate, express and confront ideas, that's how it works.
I never claimed it wouldn't have consequences for the climate, but there is a big difference between that and the assertion I am replying to, namely, "our reserve count [our current inventory of nukes] is more than enough to wipe out any and all civilization".
I don't think openAI's api for gpt4o-mini has any such mechanism.
Too much bureaucracy is often at fault, but seems very unlikely in this particular case. Are all the other countries mentioned in the article less bureaucratized or regulated? There seems to be a strong correlation between countries that have good public transit and invest heavily in public transit and countries that are perceived as having too much regulatory red tape (EU, East Asia). If that's the case, how could this possibly be the problem here?
This whole thing could be brought about by a law banning work over 3 days a week.

I think people would fight tooth and nail.
I think it's common knowledge that preventing a tactical nuclear war from escalating to a strategic nuclear war is basically impossible. Even a tactical nuke targeting a military base in its entirety is strategic enough to warrant a response targeting an industrial center (city). Then there you have it, the strategic nukes launch on population centers.

I think a Mad Max style post apocalypse type situation wouldn't come about until maybe 30 years after a full nuclear war. As disease and civilization continue to deteriorate over time eventually I can see much of the word getting to that state. Kind of like how a polluted lake doesn't kill all the fish immediately, it slowly dies over time.
Weight doesn't even have to be accounted for. There's simply no technological or marketing reason to manufacture a 10TB SSD. An odd size like that is already a massive red flag.

> High-quality transit is the only way to facilitate upward growth without causing unbearable amounts of congestion. It’s the only way to speed up trips through crowded neighborhoods

This is the primary reason why. Subways/rail is fantastic for dense cities. The US is much less dense than the rest of the world. So we don’t feel the need for subways. Seattle and LA care about this, so they are expanding. Seattle is geographically limited and can pretty much only expand up. LA doesn’t have the same geographic limitations, but it becoming the first city to maximize the amount of sprawl available. As other regions lose their ability to sprawl and are forced to expand up we’ll see more US regions build subways.

if you are more of a theorist, then drop any of the specific subtopics that keep you in the loop for a while and don't discuss these topics at all. if you are successful, pick up a book or stuff online that has a brutally contrarian opinion based on facts/hard evidence. see how you feel about these facts, do they open you up? do they get you back into the usual loop? are you manic, obsessed about all that stuff? if you are, no amount of information will get you out of there. you will have to leave the people and sources of the echos behind because any conversation ends in those loops and the continued echoes in your mind. but if it's not that big of a deal, you always have the excuse/tools of standard human hypocrisies and compartmentalization.

Two things. With news, I make sure that my newsfeed includes sources that that have different slants than my own.

With everything else, I really listen (meaning I'm seeking to understand their view, not trying to formulate a counterargument) to what people outside my social circle say when they're expressing their opinions. I'm not always good at that, but I try my best.
Is it just me, or is LinkedIn giving priority to job postings from M$ and their subsidiaries?

They've made a very slow car tunnel (for a single make of car only!) under Las Vegas with basically a COTS tunnel boring machine.
This is some great feedback, thanks!

1. there some crazy links with lots of arguments and tracking stuff in them, so it gets very long, the refification turns them into a numbered "ref[n]" scheme, where you also get a map of ref[n]->url to do reverse translation.. it really saves a lot, in my experience. It's also optional, so you can be mindful when you want to use this feature..

2. I tried to keep it domain specific (not to reinvent HTML...) so mostly Markdown components and some flexibility to add HTML elements (img, footer etc).

3. Not sure I'm sold with replacing the switch, it's very useful there because of the many fall through cases.. I find it maintainable but if you point me to some specific issue there it would help

4. There are some built in functions to traverse and modify the AST. It is just JSON in the end of the day so you could leverage the types and write your own logic to parse it, as long as it conforms to the format you can always serialize it, as you mentioned..

5. The AST is recursive so not flat.. sounds like you want to either write your own AST->Semantic-Markdown implementation or plug into the existing one so I'll this in mind in the future

6. Sounds cool but out of scope at the moment :)

7. This feature would serve to help with scraping and kind of point the LLM to some element? Then the part I'm missing is how you would code this in advance.. There could be some meta-data tag you could add and it would be taken through the pipeline and added on the other side to the generated elements in some way..
There are also a handful of 3d terminal/ASCII engines out there like this one: https://github.com/sephirot47/AsciiEngine

Common Lisp doesn't do a very good job, unfortunately.

[1]> (equal '(1 2 3) '(1 2 3))
T
[2]> (equal "abc" "abc")
T
[3]> (equal #(1 2 3) #(1 2 3))
NIL
[4]> (subtypep 'string 'vector)
T ;
T

So a string is formally a kind of vector according to t he type system itself, but vectors don't use equal comparison whereas strings do. We can reach for equalp:

[1]> (equalp #(1 2 3) #(1 2 3))
T

But then we have to accept, something we might not necessarily want:

[2]> (equalp #(1 2 3) #(1 2 3.0))
T

which will not be true under the equal function that we really wanted to Just Work for simple vectors:

[3]> (equal '(1 2 3) '(1 2 3.0))
NIL

eql being the default equality function throughout the library is also suboptimal.

The specification allows (eq 1 1) to be false, which caters to unrealistically poor implementations such as ones that heap-allocate all integers. This, in spite of the fact that fixnum is required to be at least 16 bits wide: most-positive-fixnum must be at least 32767, and the fixnum type must be a supertype of (signed-byte 16).

What this means is that if Common Lisp were fit into a 16 bit machine (good luck with that at all), it would have to provide 16 bit fixnums (easily doable, but not unboxed ones) which defeats the fixnum concept of fixnums being the unboxed range of integers, beyond which we have boxed bignums.
Ask HN: Path to AI GPU Programming
Regarding AI, the thing I’ve heard the most lately is “during a gold rush sell shovels”.

It’s a great advice (?) for a semiconductor company ready to get into the gpu market and compete with Nvidia, but what about me? I’m just a machine learning engineer bored to death by data cleaning and writing over and over the same two lines of PyTorch. I guess in that metaphor I’m the one using such shovels.

Perhaps building shovels is much more interesting than using them? What if I’d want to jump into CUDA kernel development? Is that a niche hard enough that the competition is low? Say I’m willing to put in the time and effort, where should I start? Best resources on the topic?

FYI, I’m well versed in C++ but zero in GPU programming
