A few years ago, I made a comment in a similar topic asking for more details, and I got a very good reply. Hat tip to tait:

> It's complicated.

> There are more than 35 red blood cell groups (see https://www.science.org.au/curious/people-medicine/blood-typ... for a nice writeup). For each of those blood groups, there is more than one possible configuration of some protein or carbohydrate (something like more than one possible genetic sequence leading to more than one kind of molecule on the surface of the RBCs).

> And, even with ABO, there can be infrequent variations that make things more complicated (see https://professionaleducation.blood.ca/en/transfusion/best-p... for more).

> For the other blood groups, I think every case the groups were identified because a patient somewhere made an antibody, causing either a transfusion reaction (if not tested ahead of time) or, more likely, a positive (incompatible) reaction on in compatibility testing.

I mean, it's already apparent to me that a lot of people don't have a basic process in place to detect fact from fiction. And it's definitely not always easy, but when I hear some of the dumbest conspiracy theories known to man actually get traction in our media, political figures, and society at large, I just have to shake my head and laugh to keep from crying. I'm constantly reminded of my favorite saying, "people who believe in conspiracy theories have never been a project manager."
I'm having a hard time finding reliably sourced statistics here, but I suspect you're an outlier. My personal numbers are way better, both on Gmail and Fastmail, despite using the same email addresses for decades.
The current state of things leads me to believe that Google's current ranking system has been somehow too transparent for the last 2-3 years.

The top of search results is consistently crowded by pages that obviously game ranking metrics instead of offering any value to humans.
Ask HN: Marketplaces for Embedded/FPGA Developers
I have what I imagine to be a fairly simple project for a talented FPGA coder. While I know of some marketplaces for finding generic software developers, I don't know whether there are any good ones in the embedded space. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
You're (probably) correct, considering that the specimen used Ø instead of ∅ (see https://braileinstitute.app.box.com/s/gw2s8k5kfc6t1uabkiyqlc...), and the font do not have the null symbol.

(also like the German commenter the null set is an empty set = {}, I only encountered ⌀ as diameter symbol, actually)
> For something like TSMC putting plants in the US, even if it's somewhat economically disadvantageous we are still talking about bringing onshore more jobs and training for US citizens which will generally increase our capabilities here and the satisfaction of those employees.

And completely ignores customers.
Vietnam doesn't have the population to be the next China. I wish them the best, but their time will not last nearly as long as China. (or more likely it lasts as long but it is shared with a bunch of other countries in Asia, Africa, and/or South America)
You aren't kidding. The price for a lot of their storage options looks to be 2-4x what you can find in a grocer in the US. Even a Costco set of Snapware glass is significantly cheaper than Tupperware.
Exactly: They intentionally built their transit system without cameras. Who benefits from that, except criminals? Oh yeah, sure: North Korean dissidents, Saudi LGBTQ people, etc, etc.

Yes, quite noble. But: How many of those are there using it, and how many criminals? It's mind-boggling how people so adamantly insist on seeing this only as black-and-white, and refuse to admit that there even exists something to weigh against each other.
There's a thriller plot hidden in here where the medicos ask an AI to reduce unexpected deaths so it manipulates both predictions and deaths to optimize the statistic. When they can manipulate the world we'll have to treat prompts as if they were wish fulfillment demands to a hostile djinn.
> Programs should call close() on stdout and report errors.

Programs have never called open() to obtain stdin, stdout and stderr. They are inherited from the shell. What would be a meaningful way to report errors if the basic output streams are unreliable? If close(stdout) fails, we would need to write to stderr. Then you will have exactly the same error handling issue with closing stderr.

It's a flaw in the design of Unix where polymorphic behaviour is achieved through file descriptors. Worse is better...
We did feel pain. You could mitigate the pain by never making mistakes (like by ensuring all your cron scripts log to somewhere in /var/log, or that you have alerting, or that you always put them in crontab).

But also what we consider to be painful has evolved. When all systems were to some extent a hand-gardened entity, maintained by some specific system administrator, it was easier for them to have a personal standard. It didn't matter if I used cron.d and you used crontab, as long as on our own systems we kept one method. Increasingly, servers are more ephemeral, more horizontally scaled, and more automated, and systemd timers are just easier to work with in that model.

In a decade or so, I'm sure we'll have further modified how we handle systems, and something else will come along that solves painful things about systemd.
The decision to go with Java for the backend was because we feel Java is a bit more battle tested than Python for production (dependency management, concurrency, compilation etc). Go was another strong contender, but we felt like it's a bit easier to contribute to a Java codebase for OSS contributors. At the end of the day, I'm sure we could have gone with several different options. Our cloud codebase has services in multiple languages (Python, Java, Go, TS), and Opik uses TypeScript for FE, Python for SDKs, and Java for backend.
And here I thought my defacement of printed recipes by bracketing everything that goes together at each stage was just me. There are, well, maybe not dozens but at least two of us! Saves a lot of bowls when you know without further checking that you can, say, just dump the flour and sugar, butter and eggs into the big bowl without having to prepare separately because they're in the "1: big bowl" bracket.
> One thing that I think that frequently eludes people in this discussion is that US manufacturing has pretty much been constantly growing for the past century; just its share of GDP has fallen as other sectors have grown faster.

> ...I don't think the government applying such levers to change how the market allocates capital probably won't be a win for economic output or quality of life.

I think the problem you're having is you're thinking of manufacturing in terms of dollars, like an aloof economist.
I don’t believe this actually holds up, as it assumes the USPTO is sufficiently funded to perform due diligence on prior art, and assumes that minuscule improvements will not constitute patentability. Patents are intentionally written with overreach. Overlaps are common.

Crap patents are granted daily.
From what I read the overriding factor was geological stability. Apparently these factories are very sensitive to vibrations. I guess when you do precision work at nanometer scale these things matter.

Arizona isn't water rich, but it manages to keep the 4 million people around Phoenix hydrated, so there is water.

Meta: I don't think "close" should be title-cased here, and indeed it isn't in the article. Also, I think it should be `close()`, with parens, that is the conventional way.
More lies, and straight out of the Hasbara playbook at that! From the Hamas charter:

"Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine. Yet, it is the Zionists who constantly identify Judaism and the Jews with their own colonial project and illegal entity."[0]

I don't think I want to indulge in proving Israel to be an murderous, colonial, terrorist, apartheid regime any further.

> because they are looking for a way to make their situation in life not hurt so much. It's what their friends/family do.

This part still puzzles me, because the opioid crisis is really well known about. How does "my life is shitty, I'll improve it by starting on the drugs that are famous for ruining lives" add up for anyone? Is "but cousin Bert does it and seems to be OK so far, so I can too" really that persuasive? Or maybe it's all ultimately down to prescription pills, except they might be somebody else's leftover ones, and starting there seems OK because it's medical and safe-looking.

According to the paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2304.03271), the vast majority of water usage is not from cooling but indirectly from energy usage. The paper in turn gets its electricity water intensity from: https://www.wsp.com/-/media/insights/us/documents/wp_guidanc... (reference [20]) - which notes:

> Even though hydropower water withdrawal and consumption intensities are usually orders of magnitude larger than other types and likely to skew overall regional averages, it is important to include hydropower in the factors to show not only the power sector’s dependency on water but also its vulnerability to water shortages.

Some people have pointed out that using water for cooling does not destroy it - it'll all rain back down. I think it would've still been fair to consider how much processed/drinking water was being evaporated, since it'd need processing again, but I can't really see the justification for the article's framing when the figure is measuring water that would've just flowed into the sea had the hydroelectric dam not been there.
> Would it kill these guys to have one original idea.

80% of all mainstream projects in each "hyped niche" (like blockchain, nfts, AI with LLMs) are just rehashing the exact same idea with a 1% change from the previous attempts, if even that.

Judging by the funded startups by Ycombinator and alike, original ideas is not what they're funding or out after at all.

For original ideas I think you have to start sucking up knowledge from research papers and associated conferences instead, seems to be the best way to get better understanding of the frontier, rather than looking at VC funded startups.
I personally am yet to see this beyond some slop on youtube. And I am here for the AI meme videos. I recognize the dangers of this, all I am saying is that I don't feel the effect, yet.
Winter is seasonal and localized. There will be a winter but it will not be everywhere. There's a lot of folks building AI companies with no path to useful product or profit. It's just the next hot things, there's likewise been quite a number of investors that didn't want to miss the train so they hopped into whatever train they could irrespective of the destination. There will be a moment of reckoning.

With that said, generative AI has proved to be very useful and we have absolutely no idea what the limits are, there' a lot to be built and in that manner, things will be good for quite a while. It might be that as the very first useful ideas introduce useful ideas, the companies that are currently lost will gain ideas and pivot their way to usefulness and profit. Or perhaps there will be enough useful companies to drown out the lost ones.

With that said, plenty startups will die and plenty will succeed. It doesn't matter, just figure out a way to contribute positively and be part of those that will survive.
If there is a third group anfter America and China who can build a space station, it’s India. They have real launch capability. Their lunar lander proves deep-space autonomous precision manoeuvring capability. And they’ve been able to do it all on the cheap.

(Russia is out on technical capability. Europe is out on cost. Japan hasn’t thrown its hat in the ring.)

I have a friend who left tech after 15 years to go back and get a CS phd. He ended up with a permanent job being the only "software guy" on a team of like exclusively math and physics post-docs. I'm still a little fuzzy on his day-to-day but I think it's basically just having enough of a handle on the research math to effectively product manage all the gnarly research code they produce. It sounds both frustrating and fun.
A lot of people would prefer to pay no taxes, but that’s presumably not your point. Per-dollar, I think the average American taxpayer is probably very happy with the government’s investment in, for example, the Heavy Press Program (= modern airplane airframes) and resilient packet switched networking (= the Internet).

Or more directly: it’s hard to even imagine a contemporary national or international industry without the economic interventions that produced those things.

I like the ideas of Dune and Nu, which I think were trailblazed by powershell to a degree. The problems of pure *NIX pipe philosophy with text as the lingua franca were persistent parsing problems and escaping. However, the problems of going to far in the way powershell went was it was too radical having to reimagine/replace/relearn almost everything, and generally more difficult to accomplish simple text manipulation. Nu at least maintains most of the *NIX shell UX. Maybe at some point in the future, we will reach parity to where there will fusion of the main DSLs, shells, and programming languages into a runtime interaction system that is somewhere between psql, Erlang shell, nu, and Squeak where there is programming language-OS parity obliterating the distinctions between programming languages, command shells, and DBMS shells. One can dream of a future where perhaps it will be possible to write a function, library, or program in any language one chooses and call it from any other shell or language without swig or ceremony.
People are hopefully just avoiding plastic containers.
The closest mainstream places I've found are X and the Instagram comments section. But the latter place is starting to be a bit more strict, and neither place are good for long-form discussion. Outside of the mainstream, look at niche forums or chat servers -- they're hard to find, but that's a feature not a bug.
Think of it like small, isolated programs that run in a VM that is managed by the kernel and has access to many kernel APIs and datastructures without needing to do syscalls.

I believe they can both monitor and manipulate data as it flows through the OS primatives (sockets, file descriptors, etc.).
Did they? A lot of then were barely used, got damaged or vandalized, etc. And when the companies folded or communities outlawed the scooters, they end up as trash. I don't believe for a second that the amount of pollutants and greenhouse gasses saved by usage is larger than the amount produced by manufacturing, shipping and trashing all those scooters.
On top of this, having ipv6 configured makes things harder to discover but not impossible (As long as you don't use ${ipv6_subnet}::xxxx for your hosts). You can avoid NAT and just expose the nodes you need. Most ISP assign /56 or /64 which is a humongous amount of ips. It's nice if you are just using a flat virtual network in your home lab. The amount of scanners I see for my subnet are non existent at the moment.
It looks like they want the company to stick around long enough to brick/cripple the existing devices. If they force them into bankruptcy with an enormous fine, presumably nobody will clean up the mess.
Roads are not public goods.

> In economics, a public good (also referred to as a social good or collective good) is a good that is both non-excludable and non-rivalrous.

If you ever sat in a traffic jam, you will have experienced that road use is rivalrous. And toll roads show that it's rather easy to exclude people from using roads.

Building roads with general taxpayer money and making them available without payment by the users might or might not be good policy. I don't know. But roads ain't a public good.
I guess Hezbollah are kind of dumb when it comes to supply and logistics. Possibly it's corruption, they chose some untrustworthy suppliers, perhaps lured in by some good deal they couldn't refuse. They didn't seem to do their due diligence, at least verify a few batches... What's next? Cellphones?
Disagree. The fact that it can call another closed-source service doesn't mean that this tool itself is not open source.

Unfortunately, your "real life" experience is worthless because it's at odds with reality.

Everyone likes to believe they're mama's special little laborer. One in a million, a diamond in the rough.

Even if this were true (it's not), IF you banded with fellow super duper awesome laborers you would necessarily have more bargaining power. It's just logical. If losing you is X bad, then losing 3 of you is X * 3 bad. Given X is some positive number, which is bigger: X or 3X? 3X, of course, so you have much more leverage.

What you need to keep in mind is you have absolutely 0 point of reference. You can't say "well I have a ton of leverage!" when you've never been in a SWE union. You haven't, have you? Okay, so what are you comparing against? Nothing, right?

And even though you have nothing to compare against, you still believe you're correct? With no basis? I'd check your hubris.

Me: "I received two charges for amount Y on the same day for unit #X"

HICB: "That's correct, you have two units and get charged Y amount for each one. Please let me know if you have any other questions"

Me: "Is it possible for you to be any less helpful?"

Grammarly is a lifesaver for my day-to-day writing. All it does is correct spelling and punctuation or give rephrase suggestions. But Grammarly does it so unreasonably well that nothing else compares.

Grammarly's core functionality is not even LLM-based; it's older than that. Recently, they've crammed in some LLM features that I don't care a snoot about compared to its core functionality.

This tool, like any other "Grammarly alternative," is just another GPT wrapper to rewrite my text in an overly verbose and soulless way. I was hoping for a halfway-decent spelling corrector.
I'm not sure that this approach works. I think on some level trying to "hide" the data or whatever you want to call this process kind of validates a lot of neo-nazi beliefs
