It really isn't. Most sensors suck. The reliable ones (i.e. the ones used in sleep labs) are uncomfortably tight (because they need to stay on to give useful readings). Most sensors stop being reliable as soon as any movement is involved. Even the really expensive ones in rings aren't all that.

And either way, SpO2 monitoring is not very useful for sleep apnea monitoring. The problem is not oxygen desaturation but rather arousals[1], which cannot be detected by looking at an SpO2 chart. Some people, even when sleeping with CPAP, have hundreds of arousals per night, wrecking their sleep quality, while their oxygen saturation remains perfectly fine.

[1] If sleep apnea is not treated at all, desaturation may be more prevalent, but even then arousals are a bigger problem unless saturation goes way down (below 85% or so).
I find it fascinating how scientists still haven't definitively figured out how magnetoreception in birds works. Humans have utilized homing pigeons for thousands of years [1], but it is still a mystery as to how it works. To quote a paper from 2019 [2]:

> Yet in spite of considerable progress in recent years, many details are still unclear, among them details of the radical pair processes and their transformation into a nervous signal, the precise location of the magnetite-based receptors and the centres in the brain where magnetic information is combined with other navigational information for the navigational processes.

Company-Specific Interview Questions: Ranked by Frequency and Difficulty
What was the most intriguing question you were asked during an interview?
In the article he says that DBs are now much faster.
Plus any professional place will obviously have processes and rules in place to not discuss other candidates with a candidate. Sure you might be curious to know, but that is a waste of breath to ask an interviewer during a technical interview. Ask the recruiter if you must.
This isn't a bad idea. However, assuming heterogenous hardware(CPUs, GPUs, RAM, Network, capabilities) the OS problem is primarily a driver problem. Resource management seem like a candidate for a microkernel and this can expose a relational interface to a distributed OS. The distributed OS is primarily a resource manager and well fit for a similar relational interface.
Provided that, besides drivers, the state management (tasks) is a relatively big issue, this makes the whole setup not far from a DB architecture and most managers/schedulers are arguably easily generalizable to a relational interface. In fact most distributed systems run on some form of distributed state management / DB (e.g. Raft, Zookeeper)

This said, I think the more granular approach for the kernel is maybe a cleaner way to think about it. Also, any pragmatic approach would need to take drivers into account and I wonder if it's realistic to assume anything else but major kernels.
It’s crazy that I had to buy BetterDisplay (great tool btw) just to get fonts from incomprehensible to merely ugly on a 25x16 monitor via a fake 2x scaled one. Windows renders razor sharp even without gfx drivers.
Media provider and controller might be less confusing terms.
What? It's a manual page.
Full stack developers can do both kinds of software, frontend and backend.
Paid hobbyists, you mean.

In sense that they get paid thru a Patreon/Ko-Fi or something, because these hobbyists likely still want to be compensated.
To me : How would you explain your previous job to a 10 year old?
The Foundation is the authority.

But to answer your question:
Fake news can be discerned from true news by using the brain. Some have, some not.

The problem is, a brain alone is not enough. It must be prefilled with knowledge. So, universities and schooling becomes the basis. The next thing is to inter- and crosslink and use the knowledge, to derive the possibility for something. And then, it's possible to weight whether something is fake news or true news.

For example the organized children fighting in some basement of pizza restaurant. the loser will be eaten and it's blood is drank by Hillary - obviously, must be true.

Kamala being a man originally - wait, what? That milf? No wayyyyy it's true.

And so on.. in the end you should ask someone who has coined the term fake news :)
Ex Mr. President Trump. He should be able to tell you what the difference is.
Searching for animal intelligence certainly feels like an exhaustive search of all possible perpetual motion machines, and similarly, people keep on enthusiastically nearly finding it. And of course this is plagued by a lack of a good definition, and crows unlocking puzzles and other animals doing other scraps of smart stuff.
It's a minor peeve of mine that many people assume English means miles and pounds, when there are millions of tourists etc reading the English signs who want the original, metric measurements.

I have not contributed much to Linux -- my claim to fame is submitting a one-line patch which generated 50+ emails of arguments from LKML before Linus merged it -- but I have read a ton of the Linux source code and familiarized myself with many of its internals many times, as well as doing extensive low-level systems work in userspace against the Linux API/ABI. I often use it as a reference in my own osdev work, or working on Hare, etc. Have read a lot of the syscall API surface, DRM internals in depth, dcache and several filesystem implementations, io_uring, etc. Not ignorant to what would be involved in making a Linux-compatible kernel.
I'd add sheer information gathering: even if the call leads to nowhere, they get a sense of how it's going in your company, salary data matched to a role, and a reality check on what they anticipated vs your actual situation.

I think it can be intesting to talk to a recruiter even if they have nothing decent to offer, provided one also enjoys just talking to other people. I just don't think it's an optimal path for anyone actually interested in a position, doing one's homework and applying to a company one's actually interested in can have better results.
You have: "full stack" developers
Only in Rust is the async use idiomatic, the C++ co_* is pretty new and not yet ready for prime time.

References are not at all simpler, they're memory-safe, which in conjunction with lifetimes makes them significantly more complex to understand and write. This is a known problem...
In C++ I copy by default and move if I want to optimise. Moves also happen behind the scenes as an optimisation, this is how things should be, don't push the work on the programmer!

I don't agree with your claim that a new person to Rust is more productive. What's that based on? In my experience, a new person to Rust will write memory-safe code by default, which is good, but they pay the cost of Rust's lack of ergonomics forever. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40172033 which covers async, refactoring and design issues that plague even experienced programmers.

> Idiomatic rust is simpler than idiomatic c++ and it’s clearer what constitutes idiomatic rust whereas c++ in practice is rarely idiomatic and there are going to be conflicting ideas on what is idiomatic.

It's really not, because C++ copies by default which is typically both memory-safe and very easy. If using smart pointers and clone was idiomatic in Rust, you'd have a point, instead references and lifetimes are idiomatic.

Modern C++ has a pretty clear definition, albeit it's evolving as new things are added to the standard. C++ is moving too fast recently, but then again so is Rust.

> This is ignoring the very real benefits of rarely to never dealing with a whole class of difficult to debug bugs (threading and memory safety) in the vast majority of code you’ll write .

That, cargo and lack of historical baggage are the only real benefits of Rust compared to C++. The lack of ergonomics, slow compile times and to some extent the aggressive community make it far from a clear choice.
You mean another, more compact version of `j` with a shorter descender? Well that’s called an alternate glyph.

Kerning is strictly about the relative spacing between two adjacent glyphs. The only case that would ever be vertical is if you’re writing vertical lines (such as in Chinese or Japanese).
Cygwin is a POSIX implementation, not a Linux implementation. Linux is mostly POSIX compatible and so Cygwin is source-compatible, but not binary-compatible, with many programs that work on Linux.
Technical interviews are usually just made up, no science, no system, just a vague guess as to what to ask.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t misunderstand the parent comment.

I just didn’t choose to address only that comment in my reply — I spun my reply in the context of all of the previous discussions about Sec230 reform — because that’s the underlying worry that I have. I could care less if the biggest social media companies die off, but I _do_ worry about all of the other unintended consequences of this ruling (more accurately, changing the definition of “speech” to include something that is so far removed from direct and intentional).
Nobody said he is an expert in Linux internals.

What this brings to light is the ability to compare Helios (microkernel) and Unix clone development, or how it was said in the post: reimplementing already existing design vs designing something new.

Because of this, I think his statements carry some weight.
Definitely, `sshpass` is the more better keyhole tool for this job. I picked it as the most common example I can imagine everyone going "ugh, I have to do this by hand again?" at.
Bologna is cooked, salami cured. In context, I don't think the distinction is important.

I'd guess it's that they never see anything but Oscar Meyer and competitors bologna, while there's deluxe salami but as this story shows that doesn't really make one more trustworthy.
Speaking in sentences and learning chess moves seems more due to having the physical capacity for speech (and therefore conversation) than something attributable to raw intelligence, and picking up a stool and moving it requires the ability to pick up and carry a stool, which would be pretty hard for crows or dolphins. I feel like any test of raw intelligence would need to be independent of physiology/ability to understand instructions, which is pretty hard to do.

It is indeed harder to skim, and I find myself much more relying on syntax highlighting and file outline when working in Ada than in C++. Not due to the lack of punctuation, though, which is in place but serves the guiding role only (it is MLs that tend to abolish all the unnecessary punctuation), but because of the overall dense style.

But while it is harder to _skim_, it is easier to _read_, as you don't have to concentrate on and decipher the syntax, risking to miss some of the crucial elements (oh, how do I hate missing ampersands in C++!).
Try a Lenovo (thinkpad or ideapad), or a System76, or Tuxedo. Those are generally the most Linux friendly devices.
My immediate thought is, why not store it as peroxide? It takes more energy to make too, but at least it's liquid rocket fuel instead of gaseous rocket fuel.
Ok. This is even worse. You shouldn't use your misunderstandings from previous discussions with other people and make generalizations with everybody else you meet on new discussions, especially if you are using an incendiary tone.

So much nostalgia from my teen and 20s, this site was not only entertaining but equally educational and always looked forward to reading the next review. I hadn't thought much of this website frankly in decades, but this is a bittersweet encounter, thank you for all the great memories and all the knowledges bestowed upon us.
I don't understand how we could possibly think we are at the top. There are, what, several million species of animal we are aware of, so statistically, we are likely at the middle of the curve. We just aren't aware (or barely aware) of the millions of species more advanced than us, similar to how ants and mosquitos have no idea of our existence.

This idea of the universe and the round earth must be an extremely narrow view of reality similar to the entire universe
of pond water some microbe lives in. More advanced beings perhaps live in higher dimensional spaces far more complex than our experience. Maybe this is what people encounter when they smoke DMT.
>This person read that email about one Rust Kernel developer resigning because of burnout. Now he goes into how the Linux project is a “burnout machine” and how his heart goes out to the “developers who have been burned” (how did we get to plural?).[1]

There are several Rust-for-Linux folks who have complained about the same things and been at various levels of burned out over the course of the project. Ignoring them because it raises uncomfortable questions regarding the viability of the project doesn't make it go away, it just erases their experiences.

>The “so where do we go now?” almost gets ahead of itself before it says in the next paragraph that “the path is theirs to choose”. Well yeah because the only person who implied there was a crossroads is the author here.

>The predictable conclusion is to abandon the project and do something adjacent to the Linux Kernel.

This article is in response to someone who already decided to abandon the project, and to suggest what's next. I didn't impose the conclusion to abandon it on anyone, and in fact I explicitly supported it if burnout victims choose to return to the fold.

Yes, I stand by the conclusion that Rust-for-Linux is probably not a great idea, and I'm allowed to say that without being anyone's "enemy". I also believe people when they say they're burned out and quitting the project and take their needs seriously, something I think is missing from your comment. All of this is compatible with compassion. I'm not and have never been your enemy: I can say that I think it's not a good idea and wish you well in your efforts nevertheless, and I have.

> Source? Fact: France generates ~8kWh/inhabitant/year and is a net electricity exporter. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-electricity-ge...

You completely forgot that there's companies using electricity and we live in a world where individuals are on the top of that electricity chain.

Your figures are completly wrong and do not include the whole electricity chain.

France produces close to 500TWh/year.

So yeah, I confirm what I said, the whole europan fleet of battery which you thought was impressive can only last half a day of a single country.

Also assuming that nobody want to use their car in Europe of course for that particular half day.

> Not true in some parts of Europe (North, esp Scandinavia, Balkans...)

That's not going to revolutionize anything, the biggest spots in the EU are already taken.

> Conclusions of adequate scientific (J.-M. Jancovici expertise isn't about wind regimes) in reviewed and published studies (J.-M. Jancovici isn't) are quite different

That's amamazing, you are plain denying reality, I'll do it once again, right now:

Germany 15%
France 16%
Spain 16%
Italy 15%
Poland 15%
Greece 15%
...

There you have it. The reality is in front of your eyes, the statistics confirm that the wind patterns are matching and even the real-time data that you refuse to look also does!

Sure there's some existing differences in some regions and some outliers but not nearly enough change the fact that relying on neighbors when the wind isn't blowing is a dead idea.

> Determining which project delivers a 'mediocre result' is easy.

Yeah sure it's easy, the new renewables took half the cost of the nuclear fleet for 10% of the production.

You can't put any lipstick on that sorry, you can try to tweak it the way you want, it's so bad that France had to restart its program back from the dead.

And those figures aren't even including the adaptations to the grid and the gas plants which I think they should.

> The French nuclear program was never killed. When was it killed, according to you, by who and how?

It was killed in 2012 by president Hollande and even written officially in the law in 2015 with a maximum of 50% nuclear production. The idea was to do maintenance while renewables took over. The nuclear program only got brought back from the dead in 2023, because of the Russian war and the failure of renewables to take over.
Biological Jackpot advantages, or: sheer luck.

1. we do not live underwater, so lots of tools and stuff possible (iE: fire).

2. we have usable hands with thumbs. This allows much better tooling. Ravens only have their beak and are comparatively handicapped in technical developments.

3. we do not die during/after reproduction. This allows for accumulation of knowledge instead of every generation starting to learn from scratch. That’s octopus handicap.

4. we have reasonably enough raw strength and compensate weaknesses with social groups and tools/weapons to eliminate basically all competition where we lived. And managed to increase food production for exponential population growth, again some way of tooling ultimately.

… so it for me boils down to the fact that we, among several intelligent species, have been the lucky ones to leverage tooling in the most efficient way.

And especially ravens/crows are absolutely in the ballpark of humans when it comes to intelligence. They have actual language to communicate facts to others, they have social structures/rituals similar to ours, they make tools to accomplish goals, even with multi-step-plans. Heck, they even „use“ other animals like wolves: since they are not capable of opening a fresh deer corpse to get to the meat, they search for the nearest wolf and guide him to the corpse for win-win food sharing… some wolf packs have even been seen essentially protecting raven flocks/eggs, so ravens literally can have kinda dogs.
I worked at one place, they had heavily invested into pick style databases, when pick databases still made sense, and for some of the crusty old pick programmers still around, that was the os, it was their development environment and shell.

Note: I don't think they had any actual pick systems left, by the time I got there they were mostly using unidata on linux, but there were still a lot unidata on sco boxes around.

I wouldn't call those shenanigans fun, just frustrating. I know exactly the roads you're referring to. We drove that pass between SA and Vic a good 10 times in just the past 2 years and Google just couldn't figure out that it took far longer by those roads because you can't safely go at speed. There's just too many blind hills.

There's something increasingly messed up with Google's algorithm lately and there's little control. We've recently just been going up and down the east coast and it's idea of "eco" or "short" is just wild. There was an unsealed 15% grade climb over a freaking mountain, it just refused to think of a better way (the motorway that went around it).

I'd be less upset if there was more control over the options. Like a "prefer motorways" or "less turns" or "less hills". Even a "I'm towing" option.

I know it has that data to do it, why not let us use it? Hell I might even pay for it.
The one place where signal based fine-grained reactivity still wins are lists.

Updating the "done" state of a single todo item nested in a list of todo items still causes an entire list (of possibly hundreds of items) to re-render.

In principle you can solve this with fully normalized state shape but in practice things like MobX (especially when combined with SolidJS) still provide the best ergonomics and separation of concerns with very little compromise.

I'm however excited to see what kind of DX improvements the compiler can bring to the table. Perhaps someone will have a good idea and we'll get something that's at the level of MobX.
That is because fibonacci is used to indicate the ‘guess’timation part. 5 Instead of ‘twice as much work as a 2’ (4).
The idea is when you get higher numbers the opposite happens: 21 sounds like a very specific number and not like a rough guess. 20 does.

I’ve recently had to work with React after years away. When I’ve done web UI in the last few years I’ve used Svelte.

I honestly can’t believe everyone willingly marched into this weird hooks land. I’m sure you get used to it but compared to other frameworks it’s such a chore. The more I use React the more I feel like the maintainers deliberately make it different from other stuff so that people get trained in “React” rather than “JS” and it becomes its own world.

We have come a long way from Descartes argument that animals are no more than automata. Which supported our unabashed exploitation of countless species.

It is now abundantly clear that animals have their own phenomenological experience of the world, and their intelligence is part of a continuum, shaped mostly to survive in their niches. And some species demonstrate a higher level of general intelligence - something in which we are quite easily the best.

Although, it's worth noting that some cultures (Buddhists or Jain's for example) did give animals their due with respect to their lives and intelligence.
