I have actually, several times.

I own a Brompton, which fits through the baggage X-ray and can be checked like a stroller at the gate. I've flown with it more than 12 times, and you had better believe I've ridden it in the terminal

I only do this during late arrivals when the airport is almost empty, travel at a reasonable speed, and otherwise conduct myself like a civilized human being. On a bike. In the airport. It's great actually.

> You need to be on high alert all the time. Otherwise is it's a wonderful place

That must do a number on your nervous system long term. I live in NYC where I'm on high alert in specific areas at specific times that amount to maybe 30% of my time outside home and office. Otherwise I'm earbuds in enjoying something, or staring into the middle distance processing something on my mind. Both feel essential to my mental health.
Talent pool is downstream of the "flamebait reasons" though. Maybe they're not moving out of SF directly because of the high crime etc., they're moving out of SF because they can't attract talent in SF... but that may well be at least partly because of the high crime etc..

right there with you!

it's an i7 chromebook with 16GB RAM and 500GB ssd. that's still unheard of to this day...

runs linux apps natively

runs android apps natively

runs windows apps through linux/wine/steam layer

it's lightweight (2 lbs), very thin and fanless

has a high DPI touchscreen

3:2 aspect ratio

the battery lasts 10+ hours

it can be folded over into tablet mode and supports a wacom stylus

it's a chromebook so it's secure, and i don't have to fuss w/ drivers, or linux dependency hell... it just works, but lets you dive into the guts through containers if you want it.

this is a laptop from 2017, mind you... it's 2024 now, and there is still nothing else like it, 7 years later. it's kinda sad...

as usual, google pushes the boundary, and then kills the product. it was supposed to spur other manufacturers to do similar things but that hasn't happened.

there are various assortments and combinations of machines, chromebook or plain PCs that run windows/linux, but nothing actually hits all the marks: high dpi, powerful CPU, lots of memory, touchscreen, small and light, fanless, with a long-lasting battery.

there's nothing else like it.

you can find medium-DPI chromebooks with 4-8GB of RAM, and no touchscreen, and fans, with crappy batteries. you can find 16GB RAM chromebooks w/ FHD (low DPI, and no touchscreen). there are chromebooks w/ 8GB RAM, no touchscreen, high dpi, and fans... there are all sorts of combos in between, but nothing is the form factor of the pixelbook with the features it has. i don't want a plastic piece of crap that breaks.

the closest thing is a macbook air, perhaps, but apple will never make touchscreens on laptops because they want to sell people ipads and macbooks
I wish more places were like this.

I'll be riding my bike in a designated a bike lane (which is sometimes shared with pedestrians, dogs, etc.) with clearly marked speed limit signs of 15mph. That's plenty fast in general, but even more so in busy spots. And suddenly a near-silent e-bike will go flying past me (no "On your left," by the way) at speeds close to 30mph. Happens all of the time and is bafflingly reckless and arrogant.

The way folks ride class 3 e-bikes they really should be treated as mopeds: put them on the roads like other motorized vehicles and licensed and (hopefully) forced to obey the rules of the road. Just my opinion, but they seem to break the spirit of being in the bike lane. The touristy day-cruiser eBikes like Lime bikes are fine.

That’s probably because SotA in IR is proprietary implementations like Google Search, the most bread-and-butter trade secrets of their business. So they’re not publishing that (at least in any holistic manner, and even if they did, it’s not like one product could implement all its functionality including the complexities around the periphery). And what you’re left with is some pretty decent parity between industry and academic SotA, same as a lot of other areas of CS (databases, decentralized systems, etc). If anything, in most cases, implementation lags behind academic theory.
Given that a revocation is simply a publication of additional data by a CA, and does not directly affect the customer’s systems, how is the TRO in this case not unconstitutional? I’m not a lawyer but it feels like prior restraint, no?
In most code I look at, to try and get clarity on something I’m trying to do, I have no idea what’s going on. Variables seem arbitrary, everything seems cryptic, and I can’t be bothered to try and track down what’s happening.

My own code doesn’t look like that at all. I have long descriptive variables, what I think are easy to read and follow functions, etc. Sometimes I think if I want to be “good” I need my stuff to look like what I find, but at the end of the day, I want it to be easy for me (and hopefully others) to maintain. If no one else can read my code, I don’t view it as job security, I view it has handcuffs.

California is massive though, and I would argue there is nothing in the rest of California that resembles the Bay even a little bit. Redding is nothing like the Bay; Joshua Tree is nothing like the Bay; Orange County is nothing like the Bay; Big Bear is nothing like the Bay. None of those regions are anything like the other, too. Hell, the difference inside 10 miles of Los Angeles is enormous. Compare Venice Beach to East LA for example.
Very insightful, thanks for sharing this!

I had no idea they extended this to 10 years! This makes the original comment that much more wrong.
That’s fair. I only said he seems like a good candidate, nothing too political. It still is mildly funny, lol
"Is there anything you'd like to mention that you've not had a chance to do so so far?"

Don't say it like a police interrogation. Do make it clear there's plenty of time should a candidate need it.

On time, never signal there's a fixed cutoff time until interview over. For the right candidate there shouldn't be. As a manager it's your job to be able to make time.

I have a T2 Macbook, which I generally like (though the thermals on the i9 aren't great), but I'm a little annoyed how hard it is to get Linux on there because of all the changes that Apple made to the architecture.

I doubt I'll be getting updates of any kind on x86 Macbooks for much longer, so I wanted to install NixOS on here like I had on previous Macs, and I did manage to get it installed, but the support for the T2 hardware is, in my opinion, not usable for daily use. Very basic stuff like suspending doesn't work, the audio sounds like crap, sometimes booting simply doesn't work, and the discrete graphics card doesn't work.

I don't blame the community for this, obviously. These are hard problems, and Apple worked pretty hard to make it difficult to actually sideload other operating systems on here. It's annoying that in another year or so, this computer might become increasingly less secure, because updates will cease.

I should probably just buy a Framework at this point and sell this Mac while it still has some street value.
"Else" is for when the if condition is false.

A resumable exception initiated in the "then" part of an if will not go to "else" when control resumes; it will go to the next statement after the if.

It is difficult to get the AI models to get everything right every time. I noticed too that it would sometimes remove comments etc when re-writing code.

The way to get better results is with agentic workflows that breakdown the task into smaller steps that the models can iteratively come to a correct result.
One important step I added to mine is a review step (in the reviewChanges.ts
file) in my workflow at
https://github.com/TrafficGuard/nous/blob/main/src/swe/codeE...

This gets the diff and asks questions like:

- Are there any redundant changes in the diff?
- Was any code removed in the changes which should not have been?
- Review the style of the code changes in the diff carefully against the original code.

Maybe try using that, or the package that I use which does the actual code edits called Aider https://aider.chat/
I've lived in high crime areas, and SF doesn't have the kind of high crime that would actually deter me. The monotony of a homogeneous population is enough to keep me away from the Bay for as long as I can; and I know plenty of other talented people that feel the same

You know, you're right ;-)
I tried to Google about this but I could not find anything. Can you share a source?
In Safari on iOS I can zoom in on the page with whatever that reverse-pinch gesture is called. I think Apple also came to that same conclusion as you guys quite a few years ago that allowing the website owner to prevent the user from zooming in on pages on the phone was incredibly user-hostile and so they stopped honoring the part of the meta viewport html5 tag that specifies that the page cannot be zoomed in.
Omitting the long lead up story, I was forwarded the eBay listing for my iPhone that had been stolen. It even had the IMEI on the listing.

Looked at the guy's profile (and I had his name and address, as he'd sold my phone to someone who was annoyed that it was locked) and it was blindingly obvious that it was all stolen goods:

50+ cell phones, "no charger", "no accessories", some even flagged as locked.

Another 50+ Macbooks - also "no chargers", "no accessories".

Called my local PD (non-emergency) as I'd filed a police report. Told them what I'd found.

PD: Well, he probably didn't steal them himself...

Me: I'm fairly sure that selling stolen goods is still a crime?

PD: ...

Me: ...

"Does it need regulation?" and "Should it need more licensing than an electric bicycle?" are two entirely separate questions, and I agree that answering "yes" to the latter seems wrong.
How does Loop work? They are rental electric scooters.
edit: well I got that wrong. The reason seems to be they had multiple different validation methods and wanted to be able to use the same random number across the different methods. Lots of details in the incident report[0].

I'll leave this in case some find the links interesting:

For someone like DigiCert I imagine they could ensure a much higher quality source of randomness, ie multiple different hardware sources like the avalanche noise of semiconductor junctions[1], cosmic rays[2] or lava lamps[3].

It's also easier to ensure the random numbers used are of good quality when you have a single source, ie you can collect statistics as they're served.

"Almost every day"? Hmmm... I do not think so. Wouldn't the same happen in other countries with lots of Prius and old people, like the US?
It's an interesting belief that all the stimulus money was fed into the stock market, and just not into survival at the time.

Yes, the way I’d describe it is just like very very sugary food, such extreme sweetness that produces nausea instead of the desired effect. My brain gets irritated by this and I have no choice but to avoid it. I’m somewhat alergic to advertising as well, a related affliction.

Yeah humans suck. No state would allow a thorn in their side. It's just when.
People do all those other things in the message above you on chromebooks, they don't just use chrome. That's why people like them.
My friends blew on their Nintendo cartridges.

It was like muscle memory for them. They'd encounter a glitch, yank the cartridge out, blow on it, and then thrust it back in and hope that it'd be better for the next hurried speedrun. Rituals were had of blowing nto games before even playing them the first time, so as to ward off the glitch demons pre-emptively.

We never did this in our family. When we started encountering glitches, our dad called Nintendo to ask about the problems we were having with the [rather expensive] system he'd bought. They sent a kit for cleaning cartridges, which included a wide, flat absorbant swab wrapped with some kind of seemingly-synthetic absorbent material and a little drippy bottle full of isopropyl alcohol.

This actually worked. (IIRC, during that phone call they also issued interim instructions for using a Q-tip and isopropyl to get things moving while the package was shipped.)

We didn't have anywhere near the problems with glitches that our friends did. Mostly, the games just worked with some occsasional cleaning and time to dry out.

Does anyone consider DMCA notice/cure policy when selecting a hosting platform?
As discussed in quite a few HN threads, I agree with what seems to be the consensus that DMCA is a mess, ripe for bad actors. And, as discussed often, recourse against bad actors who file purposefully fraudulent takedowns is hard to attain due to the wording of 512(f) which at a superficial glance allows for damages but which requires proving in court not only that the infringement claim is false, but that the claimant knew it was false. (Not "should have known", not "reasonably would have known", but "actually knew-in-their-hearts knew".)

But it is what it is, not much we can individually do about the law.

But we can choose our hosting platforms and there seems to be variation in how hosting platforms handle DMCA takedown requests they receive.

Some, like Heroku, still give notice and have AFAIK a 24 hour cure period and document a counter-claim process. At least that was my fairly positive Heroku experience a couple years ago when a bad-actor competitor filed a provably fraudulent DMCA takedown on Friday night. (We presume they hoped we would not see any notifications until Monday by which time the cure/respond period would have elapsed and our site would have been taken down.)

But others including Render - based on a few posts in their community forum - apparently will take sites down without notice in response to a DMCA takedown request. (Easier/cheaper for the host, no doubt.)

Our year-long saga of suing a competitor (even with a very positive outcome) was still fresh in my mind when I was recently investigating hosting alternatives. So I'm possibly more attuned to this business risk than others. (Render is unfortunately out of consideration at this time for that reason.)

So I'm curious if anyone else explicitly considers DMCA handling policy when choosing a hosting platform, and if so, where did you land?
Whoops, I dropped the "er" the second time. I've also seen it labeled "cache-friendly binary sort", and sometimes the Breadth-First-Search aspect is played up (but that's unsearchable).

Logical-order (in-order DFS) iteration is obvious and trivial (though a lot of tasks are fine with physical-order (BFS) iteration. Beware that some tasks that nominally don't care about input order perform much better on already-sorted input though).

Conversion between logical index and physical index (if you need it - chances are you don't) can still be done efficiently, but requires some (fun!) thought especially for the non-power-of-2 tail.

Explicit prefetching is trivial to arrange for k-great grandchildren if needed (though the width of course grows exponentially). Using an n-ary rather than binary tree is possible but I'm not sure of the cache effects in practice. Switching to linear search just at the last level may be worth it? All of this means more complex logic though.
The why can also go out of date. Maybe not as frequently? I don't have a great intuition for the ratio, but it is certainly more often than never.

I use “fortnightly” to mean “in 2 weeks” because bi-weekly is ambiguous, and while the game is hugely popular I still assume at least 1 person on any email chain with me reads that and is thinking “the fuck does he talk like a Victorian English Dandy for?”

Enough companies are looking for their CISO to be an attorney, or to also be an attorney, because you spend a lot of your time threading through laws, contracts, policies, company risks, and parter risks, etc.

There's a difference

Meta owns Facebook so you can still talk about Facebook separate from Meta. Meta also owns Oculus

Alphabet owns Google so you can still talk about Google separate from Alphabet. Alphabet also owns Waymo.

X "is" Twitter. They aren't two separate things (a parent company and one of their subsidiaries) like the other two examples.
You are wrong on everything. Google gives 10 years of updates, once the support lifetime ends you can put flex on it, linux, but chromeos keeps working, you just stop getting updates. Mostly that is because a 10 year old device is pretty slow, you'll want to faster device.

I have one 10 year old mac laptop, all I can do it boot it and wait minutes for the login panel to show. Actually I should get rid of that as ewaste.

Deep Learning at Scale
Yes, is this a slight hardware refresh to the EP-133 with a new skin and different factory presets?

The KO-1 had a similar "Street Fighter" edition, which could be loaded with the original PO-33 samples.

Are there any reasons not to buy this over the EP-133 from a pure capability standpoint? I wish the marketing were a bit clearer on that front, seems we need to intuit this by diving into the specs and capabilities ourselves.
