AlphaFold doesn't solve the protein folding problem. It has practical applications, but IMO we still need to (And can!) build better ab-initio chemistry models that will actually simulate protein folding, or chemical reactions more generally.
> years are referred to by the name of their corporate sponsor

Many ancient cultures referenced years in relation to their rulers, e.g. 30 BCE being the year of the consulship of Caesar and Crassus [1]. DFW is cleverly recyling the corporate overlord meme.

> Innovation and imagineering (cough, largely robotics) are synonymous with the image of disney.

Maybe it's' indeed a "me" problem, but I only vaguely know about "imagineering" thing via HN; it's not something I think I'd stumbled on otherwise. As far as I can tell, for most people I know, Disney is the kids programming producer that often makes stuff adults enjoy just as much, if not more, than kids, plus the company that took over Star Wars. A subset of them is also aware that the House of Mouse has a scary legal department.

> There is no joke because people respect them already. Now, the fast food folks? That is silly. Unless it is about production efficiency from McDonalds.

McDonald's must be a powerhouse in logistics and process engineering - and in case of the latter, it's not a big leap from making food to making drugs or advanced materials. I know a little bit about adjacent fields from the software side; the food processing plant and a chemical manufacturing plant use pretty much the same tools and processes.
Just an example. Why should complexity and over-engineering be considered best practices for a beginner? In the example I've given, it turns out that a for loop and an if conditional are the simplest and most efficient solutions.

Additionally, from a beginner's point of view, it's important to learn algorithms that are language-agnostic. In this case, Go handles the allocations, copies, and memory management for you. However, this code would be much harder to implement in C. In any language, the algorithm I've provided would still be the best solution.

As others have commented, the terms "best practices" and "beginner" are sometimes used as clickbait to attract interactions and GitHub stars.
Nothing you said is truth. Those are just your own blind beliefs. How do you know the universe is meaningless? Maybe it’s a simulation being run for a purpose, and the beings running it care about the outcome. You’re just spouting YOUR truth, which is not truth at all.

>You are comparing a 7nm processor to a 5nm one, and yet the gap isn't even very large. Which was entirely the OPs point.

The gap is huge. AMD's 7nm chip typically uses ~5x more power than the M1 and is still slower.

>Does a 5nm AMD chip perform similarly to the 5nm Apple chip at the same wattage? (Again, performance does not increase linearly with wattage, as you're likely to cite something violating this logic in the next response)

No it does not. Apple's chips are significantly more efficient.

How is it subjective? Can't terms like "replacing" and "fast" be quantified by metrics related to rates of unemployment and adoption of AI systems for tasks previously manned by humans? I'm not saying the data is readily available, but I do see a route to objectively measuring this.
This whole idea relies on the prerequisite that you're capable of overbuilding desirable housing though, no? It's reasonably straightforward to overbuild housing, just look at ghost cities in China, but building housing that's desirable enough that someone actually wants to live there is a different matter entirely.

I agree with the rest of your comment that the issue largely boils down to making real estate an undesirable investment class. I think where we diverge is that I think legislation and building is the most feasible way to achieve this, not just building.

For whatever reason, what you have come to learn was how I always felt from the start. I would rather make less in a job that I find all the aspects of it enjoyable.

Relaxed and comfortable environment, flexibility, great co-workers and great boss that I both like, company treats me well, no stress, etc.

I don't find I need all that much money to live comfortably and buy and do what I want. (computers/gaming, home theater, backpacking, skiing, scuba diving, pickleball, travel in general). And on top of those things I still manage to put away about half my income into retirement investments.
Absolutely this.

Only if you are working at a good start up. Most places don't offer such good insurance package. In many cases parents are not covered.

Its true some people make it big working at start up. Most unfortunately don't.

Overall, I would advice if you are having non trivial life situations like old parents, unstable health care situations, or just can't afford to take risks, I would say just don't work at start ups.

> For a small test page of 15KB, HTTP/3 takes an average of 443ms to load

443 milliseconds!! When typical user latency is sub 50 milliseconds, requiring 443 milliseconds to get a lightweight page displayed on the screen is terrible.

Users perceive 100 milliseconds as near-instant, and that ought to be the target. With 50 milliseconds of network latency, and 0-rtt support, that gives 50 milliseconds for server and client processing+rendering. Ought to be very do-able.

The fact it has not been done really is a failure of software engineering as an industry - we always favour more layers of abstraction over perfecting the user experience.

Highly expressive????? Come on… what kool aid are you on??
It is true that there is C code that is conforming C++ code. However I would say if you’re using a C compiler with with “extern C” in the headers for C++ linker compatibility (as this library does) then saying C++ is about as misleading as saying a Rust library is C++ as you can link to that too.

As far as compatibility and “history” the languages are different enough now. There are both: features in C that do not exist in C++, and code that is conforming C that would be UB in C++. Saying C/C++ (for real) is usually a dumb target when it’s better to pick one and settle with that.

If it’s C, just say so. Everyone knows what extern C is, you don’t need to confuse.

In what way is someone who still finds this event meaningful engaging in irrationality?

Every competition has factors preceding and during the moments of measured performance that are like this. You could also say that a runner’s performance is about their ability to train consistently, apply self discipline to their daily lives, perform under pressure, etc.

It seems odd to me that in the sum of all moments leading up to the start of a race, somehow reaction time would no longer be relevant.

If a runner gets distracted by the crowd, that’s just as impactful to the race but has nothing to do with their potential speed. The race is a measurement of all factors - mental and physical - and all participants are measured the same way.

Yeah! The thing about flow batteries is that if we manage to find good chemistries, they have the potential to be very cheap energy storage compared to ordinary batteries. High energy, low power, low cost.

Ie the small electrodes cost something but the big bag of fluid might be cheap.

Say, vitamin- like substances consisting of extremely common elements like hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon etc could be used to store energy in a flow battery. Even with quite low performance, they could be very cheap compared to things like cobalt, nickel, manganese or lithium.

Or what about quinones? And sodium, sulphur, sodium are cheap too. There are a lot of very cheap chemistries that could be explored!

> The goal of math animation should be to highlight and travel the natural geodesics of the concept space, with natural starts and stops too.

> The rest is cargo culting.

A geodesic as I understand it is the curve representing the shortest path between two points in some manifold.

So take one thing that I have found math animations useful for: showing the path of travel of some parametric system. Is that a geodesic? Not necessarily in the cartesian space of the system. I don't know what it would mean for it to be a natural geodesic of the concept space.

For me the goal of math animation is the same as the goal of any math visualisation: to improve understanding and intuition. When I animate something (Which I only ever do for myself) that is why I do it. Am I cargo culting in your estimation?

Let's take another example: Say I do an animation of some sort of force problem in mechanics. I can show the paths of some particles in the simulation and the magnitude and direction of the various vectors vs time. Is that cargo culting? It's definitely not any kind of geodesic. Does it help my understanding? Quite possibly.

In that sense in the blog post you are addressing, in my opinion the position vs momentum distribution animation is really great because it really helps my intuition of how those probability distributions are related and how one would change as the other changes.

> RSA encryption is still very widely used (for example SSH keys with 4096 bit RSA keys)

That's not RSA encryption. Which is fascinating, and my cough got even worse and I have a fever and my demo worked in the presentation anyway, and so I won't be doing any further productive work today...

SSHv2 (You don't use SSHv1, if you're younger you may never have used SSHv1) goes roughly like this

1. SSH client connects to SSH server (TCP stuff happens) they agree that they both speak SSHv2

3. SSH client says it can do certain types of cryptographic operation, the server says what it is willing to do, they should overlap or else no progress can be made.

4. A Diffie Hellman Key Exchange is performed based on the shared information from above, now the Client and the Server know a set of fresh unique keys for this session, all further data is encrypted with a symmetric algorithm using these keys.

5a. Now the client should explain how it intends to authenticate as a specific user. It probably wants to prove it has a private key corresponding to a public key that the server already knows (but it could use old-fashioned Unix passwords if that's enabled).

5a. For pubkey auth, the client says "I can prove I have the private key for this 4096 bit RSA key you know"

6. The server can say either "Fine, I know that RSA key, prove it" or "No good, what else can you do?"

7. Assuming the server said "Fine" the client performs RSA signing not encryption to demonstrate that it does have the private key. The signed message is a witness to the above unique conversation and thus cannot be re-played or re-used for any purpose.

I'm curious to see what the AMD mainboard and the newer Intel boards are like, but with Linux 6.10 on an 11th-gen Intel Framework 13 battery life is 4-5 hours and sleep drains the battery completely in 1-2 days even after switching from s2idle to deep sleep. I have not tried setting up hibernation.

The trackpad is pretty good, hardware support is excellent. It boots so fast (about 20 seconds to Plasma desktop) that my solution for the shit sleep behavior is to just shut it down when I remember to.

My use is a mix (about 50/50) of laptop use, typically plugged in, and desktop use with a 4k monitor and Dell USB-C dock.

Not really. It’s a hyperbolic statement. It needs to be understood as such.

Normally this falls into the realm of moral truth. Or perhaps in a broader sense existential truth. For example: rape is wrong is not an absolute truth. It’s just like your opinion man.

In an entirely materialistic system morality is not universal. It merely the taste of whatever society wants at a time. Morality is ultimately might makes right. If you can enforce your morality through force, your morality wins. If the pro-rape camp could enforce their view, within a few generations we’d all say that the anti-rape camp was on the wrong side of history.

> Also one issue is that the AGPL doesn't actually solve anything. Visitors having the source code to my evil saas platform doesn't solve the problem that they're locked to it. It doesn't solve the problem that I can change the code at any time and they cannot. Or that I can shut it down and wipe out their data, or share it with third parties. An AGPL conforming application also need not provide visitors with any way to export their data.

Please enlight us about how the BSD license do it much better in this area. You first complain that AGPL is restrictive now complain that it should restrict even more? I agree with you, maybe it is time for another version of AGPL that includes data sovereignty. Let's make it more difficult for corporations to profit from FOSS free labor, not more easy.
What I don't understand is that you say "the Dutch are short somewhere between 300k and 400k homes" when you previously said "Simply adding supply doesn't really address the underlying problem if you don't look at the rest of the context. If any freshly built housing is bought up by landlords who can afford to outbid ordinary people, then adding supply doesn't alleviate the problem".

What does it mean to be "short of 300k" homes if not "adding supply of 300k homes will address the problem"?

The CEO of Bank of America no longer believes a recession is on the horizon
I think "post-truth" is a symptom of unequal power. The rich and/or powerful can push their version of truth with little or no consequences for them. Unfortunately for them, there's a tendency for those in power to start believing the yes-men:

For example, in World War 2, the Japanese authoritarian regime took over newspapers and newsreels. Any time they would lose a battle, or have to withdraw, that would be stated as a victory. By the end of 1942, they had stated that the Imperial Japanese Navy had sunk "11 aircraft carriers, 11 battleships, 46 cruisers, 48 destroyers, and 93 submarines" (December 8th, 1942)

The Japenese people could look at maps, and see that the "glorious victories" were somehow occurring further and further west, closer to home each time. But they had no power, no way to challenge the newspapers and announcements from Navy and Army HQs. And the constant propaganda had warped the perspectives of everyone, including progressives and liberals, so they fell in line too.

A large part of Japan's defeat was because they fought an opponent capable of out-producing and out-training them. They had started to believe their own bullshit about being a superior race, about being simply better than the Americans, and as you said, collapse was inevitable. Before the atomic bombs convinced Hirohito to accept unconditional surrender, Japan was close to famine. If the war had lasted into 1946, millions of Japanese people would have died of starvation.

Directly related to your question:

Both victoria metrics and questdb are compatible (ingestion-wise) with the InfluxDB Line protocol, so migration would be smoother than with other databases. Just point the old ingestion script to the new server URL, and data will start flowing in.

Taking a broader view, the time series database landscape is split into three categories (sorry for adding complexity!):

1. Observability (metrics from your hardware): Prometheus, and other engines that work well with Prometheus such as Victoria Metrics. I think their language is tightly coupled with PromQL. InfluxDB 1.X and 2.X used to be in this camp and were the market-leading solution for observability before Prometheus came along and got incredible adoption. Chronosphere built with m3db is also a big name in this category.

2. General purpose: TimescaleDB is built on top of Postgres, and is now seen increasingly as a super postgres that can also deal with time series data, amongst other things (now focusing on vectors as well).

3. Specialized: kdb+, QuestDB, some OLAP databases that can also do time series (Clickhouse & Druid), and perhaps InfluxDB 3.0 even though it's not OSS yet. Here the focus is on performance, and the data loads tend to be more significant. Industries and use cases often paired with demanding data loads, such as financial services, often require such specialized databases. Some have their prop language (kdb+ with Q), some are closed source (kdb+), and others are OSS & use SQL (questdb, clickhouse, druid). InfluxDB 3.0 also uses SQL (from DataFusion's query engine) but is not OSS yet.
