And what i am saying is that i do not agree with that take..

While a right wing government is not guarantied that Elon will be able to buy Sigma Lithium, i am 100% sure that a right wing government will work to try block or at least delay as much as possible the acquisition by BYD..

Specially in the unlikely case that Trump win the US election, remembering that Elon is supporting him.. US will not only support blocking China from increasing their foothold in the region, they would likely pressure Brazil for it..

It might even happen with Kamala but to a smaller degree..
If a 43% failure rate is an unacceptable risk, and ceasing attempts is preferable to failing a second time, what does that say about taking tests in school, filling out job applications, scientific research and advancements, or compiling that code your boss told you to write?

This is more of an issue with combusting flower, where putting it out wastes some product and then you have to smoke a stale-smoke-tasting joint later.

I don’t see it as like a public health issue, just an annoyance for those of us that miss a smoke session instead of taking 3 hits.

A semi-related annoyance is that I can’t find pre rolled joints anymore, only cones. The weed is already strong as hell, why are the only pre rolls 1g+?! That’s like 300mg of THC, before losses.
There is nothing concerning about his message, and you’re clearly not a parent. Let it go.
Well I stand happily corrected then!

Even a cheap phone’s DAC is going to sound better than any BT codecs.
Words of wisdom. I do not really have any dev related problems with WSL2 either. Normally I develop and debug on Windows and deploy to Linux as my code compiles and works natively on both. It is mostly C++ backends lately so I suspect I am in tiny minority.
thoughtful.ai | Software Engineers (DevProd and Platform) | REMOTE (USA only) | Full-time | $190-250k + early equity

We are a small Health Tech / AI automation start-up growing 3x YoY (we just raised our Series A round!) and looking to expand our engineering team.

I think you've struck on the actual reason: Rust programmers don't perceive compile times as slow, and don't really view it as a problem. Thus, nobody works on making them faster.

Every language has tradeoffs, and every language community has priorities. In general, the Rust community doesn't care about compilation speed. For now, the community has basically decided that incremental cached compilations are good enough.

Which is fair, because there's only so many engineering hours, and the language has a lot of other priorities that fast to compile languages like Go ignore.

I'm biased towards C and Go's way of thinking about language design, which I know a lot of other people hate. But, there's also the universal problem that once you introduce a feature into a language, people will have a field day using it in contexts where it's not needed. Just like Perl programmers have never met a regex they've never disliked, and C++ programming have never heard of a bad operator overload, Rust programmer's have never seen a bad procedural macro or external crate dependency. Showing just a little bit of restraint using complex or slow to compile language features goes a long way, but it seems like most devs (in all languages) can't resist. Go is partially fast to compile because it just tells devs they aren't allowed to do 90% of the slow-to-compile things that they want to do.

Powerful languages like Rust and C++ give devs the choice, and they almost always choose the slow-to-compile but elegant option. At least, until the build hits an hour, then they wish compile times were faster. For the record, I'm not bashing C++ or Rust, I'm a C++ developer by trade.
Ah, so my dream of a compact beam for the 1.8MHz band still eludes me... :)
I was shocked visiting downtown Seattle recently, as there was an entire block or two near the art museum that was completely taken over by drug addicts. Most seemed to be on fentanyl, as they were standing hunched over as I’ve seen elsewhere. I saw security guards around but they didn’t care. And I saw a police SUV drive by, so they definitely are aware it is happening. We ended up moving two blocks over to find a way around without having to walk through all that.

The paper covers this also. Cells don't behave predictably:

> The variable flickering of transcriptional activity in different cells is one of the major causes of heterogeneity in isogenic populations. But where exactly does this cell-to-cell variability in transcriptional activity come from? The answer becomes apparent when we remember that gene expression is a molecular process, and like all molecular processes, it is inherently stochastic, given that it takes place in an environment that is subject to the chaotic dynamics of Brownian motion. Each step in the process relies on fortuitous encounters between molecules that are randomly moving about as a consequence of thermal agitation. Evidently, these molecules must be at the right place and at the right time—not to mention in the right vibrational state—for them to be able to participate in the appropriate reactions. The unpredictability of the whole process is further amplified by the fact that the participating molecules in each step are present in the cell in very low copy-numbers, as this decreases the chances of successful interactions between them...

> as research into the
non-genetic heterogeneity of cells continues, evidence for the biological importance of this phenomenon is mounting ever-rapidly. We now know that non-genetic heterogeneity plays key roles in both microbial and eukaryotic cells, in embryonic development, and in evolution. For one thing, it is a crucial generator of phenotypic diversity, which enables cell populations to adapt rapidly to changing environmental conditions. It does so by permitting the implementation of probabilistic diversification strategies within a population, such as bet-hedging and divisions of labour, which can confer considerable fitness advantages...

> One very important theoretical implication of the probabilistic nature of cellular behaviour and the observed heterogeneity of cell populations is that, quite literally, every cell (in an organism and elsewhere) is a unique entity. No two cells are identical, given that no two cells respond to a stimulus in the exact same way—even if they are genetically the same.
AlphaZero was an example of "learn by doing", not education.
Unless by „eating right“ you mean edibles, I don’t think the effect is quite the same.
Yaar apa ivan. In the beginning there was light. Don't change the facts, untill you find the counter part of computation.

For example, when I say, in the beginning there was light, Einstein law of light to matter and matter to light holds true.

Same way, how can or which other part can you relate computation to?
It's an inquiry with an embedded false dichotomy/assumption that n-grams are not used in LLMs, when in fact ChatGPT also uses n-grams/"Markov chains". Popular embeddings including those ChatGPT uses like text-embedding-ada-002 and later also use parts-of-speech codes. And the chat interface uses conventional NLP too. Maybe some people think it's nothing but "magical vectors" doing all the work, but that's incorrect.

If you google "Is ChatGPT just a glorified Markov chain?" you will amazingly get pages of results of people asking this question, just like "Is jQuery just a glorified monad?" as if to reduce something novel down to useless, mere philosophy that "we've had" for thousands of years. Imagine suggesting using a state management library in React to improve FE dev and getting the retort: "Isn't that just a state machine?" in a discounting manner, and imagine the rest of the team actually nodding their head in agreement like a scene in Idiocracy - welcome to Hacker News.

For smart people, the answer to any question like this is "No". Google is not a glorified Array. Bitcoin is not a glorified LinkedList. Language models are not glorified Markov chains. To even ask that is so reductionist and incorrect that any answer obfuscates what they actually are.

Here's a gist you can paste into your browser that shows how both n-grams and conventional NLP (parts-of-speech analysis) are used to derive vector embeddings in the first place: https://gist.github.com/bennyschmidt/ba79ba64faa5ba18334b4ae... (following in the style of text-embedding-ada-002 albeit much tinier)

They are not mutually exclusive concepts to begin with. Never have been. None of these comments even deserve these lengthy replies (I am likely responding to a mix of 12- and 24-year-olds who don't care that much anyway, just want to "win"), yet I feel compelled to explain.
Linux, at the kernel level, doesn't have any concept of a "container". What you have instead are namespaces. File systems, process lists, networking etc. are all namespaced, and you can set these up "a la carte".

For example, you can create a new process that has as its file system root /home/blah. It will see every process in the system, it can do networking, etc. — but "ls" can only show the files under /home/blah, which appears as /. Inside this process, you can't see any files above this directory.

A Docker container is simply a process which has set all its namespaces in such a way as to isolate it from others.

"Entering" a Docker container is done by setting up your namespace to be the same as that of the container. For example, you can create a new process (a shell, for example) that is a normal process in every way — full access to the root file system and networking and so on — but has the process tree root as the container. The process will see only the processes inside the container.

You can do this on Linux today using the nsenter [1] tool. (This is also a way to create simple namespaced processes without Docker.) This allows a mix of namespaces; you can enter the container's namespaces but also retain the ability to run tools that aren't available inside the container.

In short, I assume the OrbStack debug command does the exact same thing. It's coincidentally the same concept as an ephemeral container on Kubernetes.

I've heard that weed needs a widely varying dose from person to person for an effect; and that because of this, when it wasn't legal, vendors would often mix it with a very small dose of LSD.

It is also widely claimed that LSD has a much stronger association with schizophrenia than weed, so if weed only has this sometimes (e.g. never when it's self-grown) that may explain why it's hard to pin down a link.

Count | Senior Software Engineer | REMOTE within UK/Europe | Full-time | https://count.co

Count is like Jupyter, Tableau and Miro combined in one tool. Some of the world's leading data teams use it for everything from iterating data models and performing in-depth analyses to creating process flow maps of their entire business.

We're a small team looking for experienced software engineers who are interested in tackling deep technical challenges in the data analytics space.

For the best possible user experience, we have developed various technologies in-house, including a custom WebGL rendering engine, our own data visualization library, and a reactive SQL/Python notebook and database query framework.

Example projects: accelerating rendering using quadtree tiling, extending interactivity and customizability of visualizations, leveraging LLMs in data exploration, developing serverless frameworks for executing database queries at high concurrency.

Our tech stack: TypeScript, Python, Node, WebAssembly, WebGL, Apache Arrow/Parquet, DuckDB, Kubernetes, React.

If you're interested in learning more about Count or what we're working on, please email our CTO at oli [at] count.co.
Nvidia | Remote, see details below | Senior full stack | Full-time | React, C++, Helm, Go, Python, CUDA, Docker, distributed systems.

Nvidia, yeah, Nvidia. You already know.

I am hiring for senior or principal developer technology engineers (DevTechs). At some companies, they are called application engineers. Nvidia has a very high bar of quality for these engineers, as they need to both have deep experience and understanding of software engineering and development, as well as excellent communications skills to work with external devs.

They are distinct from solution architects in that every DevTech is expected to be a seasoned professional engineer. It is a special forces engagement model where we approach high value strategic partners with deeply skilled engineers to accelerate their adoption of our platform.

What you will be doing: Working closely with our strategic partners and internal teams to get the most out of our enterprise platform hardware/software stacks. This involves everything from serverless computing to optimizing end-to-end cloud workflows. It helps if you spent a few years grinding out C++. We are specifically looking for people who have front-end experience to help fill team gaps.

Also, if you are not super skilled at cloud infra, but are a steely-eyed computer engineer who has GPU accelerated your cat, feel free to apply to one of the roles as well. We have needs beyond just the cloud stuff.

How to apply: Email me directly at mclive at nvidia dot com, and apply to these roles on our career site:

Unless that training on exceptions isn't quite enough to convey the principles needed to reason about the domain.

I am sure for some problems it will amaze and for some it will not.
I get really bad insomnia if I use it heavily for a while and then quit. Also constantly sweaty palms and feet like hyperhydrosis. I don’t have any cravings for it though and it goes away after around a week.
It suggests you are mismatching risk assessments and appetites, either unintentionally through a lack of understanding of the failure scenario, or intentionally in support of a traditionalist belief system.

Marriage has a material cost, love and relationships less so. You can love freely without being bound by the liability marriage encumbers inherently; I encourage others to love, date, and otherwise seek, explore, and maintain romantic and emotional relationships as much as they wish to for as long as they wish to, but from a place of security and with a robust foundation for themselves. You’re putting work in regardless (as most relationships require), but the paperwork making it official ain’t gonna make you any more happy nor does it make the relationship any more “real.” The work and mutual respect is what makes it real. Also, keeping people married who don’t want to be married serves no one.

When something is hard to measure and benchmark (similar to happiness as it relates to success), we default to suboptimal measures instead (such as wealth, power, and status) because it is easier to observe. Important to recognize this and recalibrate accordingly to encourage improved outcomes.
This is exactly what I'd do if I was an accredited ingestor. I'd look if I trust countries that already approved it and decide based on that.
I recently got my money from MtGox. Apparently yes.

Don't get me wrong, you have a point. It's just not about crypto currency at all, and yet you're presenting it as a fault of the technology. The technology is sound, problem is in the humans (ab|mis)using it, or just talking about it.

Notice how in crypto scams there usually isn't any actual crypto currency - they simply make a web UI with nice charts. Why? Because their scam wouldn't work if they created an actual crypto currency.

A scam exchange is the same thing - you essentially sent money to someone on the internet and they ran away with it. The method of transfer is irrelevant, and you have same options if you wired dollars or sent a crypto transaction. It has nothing to do with the many interesting security methods that modern asymmetric cryptography provides, that are utilized to make trustless transactions and smart contracts work on blockchains - you didn't utilize them at all, you simply transferred all your money away.
Well in SF we have been made apathetic to filing reports by YEARS of soft on crime policies. Like prosecutors simply releasing repeat criminals, who go on to victimize everyone all over again. The only value to filing a report is insurance - but who is going to pay the deductible for something stolen out of your car that is worth less than the deductible? I personally don’t blame the officers at all - I blame the state legislators, city leaders, and city attorney offices.
This is what I do. I’ll take a 28% strain and mix about 1:1 with a strong CBD strain. It also helps that I use a vape (slightly less intense high) and use a fraction of a gram (0.1 to 0.2) per session.
It's actually quite common for large companies to commission artworks inspired by their products; American companies frequently reach out to tribal artists for the uniqueness of their artistic style. Your comment is pretty depressing -- despite the clear mastery demonstrated in this art, you're insinuating a nefarious plot involving a long-scapegoated population.
It’s like going to a liquor store and being able to choose between cask strength scotch, cask strength bourbon, ovenproof rum, and everclear. And prebottled mocktails.

This same exact crowd was cheering on the US banning TikTok. Fascinating how the same folks (yes I looked at the history of some of the people here) have a completely different take with this situation.
You're happy that the pro-government-censorship side is putting the pro-right-to-free-speech side in its place?
I one thing that would help at the federal level is a dosage guide, similar to how alcohol works. The drink equivalent is a useful starting point for beer, wine, and spirits. There isn't a "normal" dose, so everyone just asks their friends, and the people they get advice from are generally regular stoners with a much higher tolerance. I've had to argue with someone to convince them that 10mg from an edible is a very high dose for most people. I fortunately convinced the guy who wanted to try for the first time to take 2.5 and just set how that works for the evening
OK, I'll try to imagine that.
The genetic code is basically configuring a generic vertebrate body; the same sort of variation we see between vertebrate species we can also see as developmental variation in a species.
Yeah, billionaires are dangerous.

As an antenna engineer myself, I'm always very glad to see tools and open source that make RF/microwave more accessible as a hobby!

That said, it'd be really great if this could simply be hosted/accessed online. The intersection of RF engineer/hobbyist and knowing how to work with Docker is slim (anywhere other than HN), which detracts from the "user friendly interface".
If freedom is equated with the right to withhold and withdraw love* at every opportunity, then perhaps we're not actually free.

* Love in terms of sacrificial, altruistic solicitude for others; love in terms of charity and selflessness; love in terms of bonds of trust and faith; you know, the sort of love that tends to hold families together and help children actualize their potential.

What if your daughter stopped loving you, and cut you out of her life? Is she free to do so?

3 and 4 sound like guilty-until-proven-innocent to me. I knew Brazil's new government was bad, but I didn't know it was that bad.

Also one substance can be used in multiple feedback loops in different tissues. Tweaking one loop without touching others will take some finesse.
Yes and? On a per capita basis, they are misers compared to the USA in terms of fossil fuel usage. China is progressing nicely into the future with their investments, if you want to worry about some developing country that’s extreme polluted, look at India instead.
