I have great respect for the safety culture that IAEA has mandated. These accident reports always contain great learnings. Yet, it is so easy for non-experts (and experts forgetting that risks and rewards are connected) to misread this as conclusive evidence og the universal dangers of nuclear.
That a relatively simple human error, with little consequence, is treated like a flight crash signals disproportionately to the public that nuclear isn’t worth the risk.
That one was capacitive, but didn’t do multitouch. So no pinch to zoom, which was one of the most wow things the first iPhone did.

Show HN: Made an AI Money Tracker without any coding experience
Hello everyone,

I have created Rolly: AI Money Tracker - a new AI expense tracker where you can easily record your transactions just by chatting with our bot Rolly and it will automatically record and categorise the transaction into the most suitable category (you can also create any of your own category and it will also take care of it in consideration). You can always talk to the AI in any language and your transaction in any currency and it will always convert it into the base currency you've selected earlier. Rolly will also respond to your transaction in a interesting manner to make your expense tracker journey more interesting!

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/rolly-ai-money-tracker/id66365...

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jc.rollymo...

Anyone that have any feedback or needs for any new feature, do feel free to let me know and I'm happy to discuss and incorporate it. Thanks.

But why would that be an appropriate amount? By having the fine around the lowest possible investment to tackle the issue, you're literally incentivizing companies not to take security seriously. After all, you can save money early into development, and just fix it whenever you have time - you'll still save money compared to doing things right immediately.

So again, why would this make sense?

Grand vision (or ideology as it’s also called) is a dead end of history - has been tried too many times, always failed spectacularly.

They're enriching their bank accounts just as they're impoverishing their spirits. On their deathbeds, no one ever says "gee, I wish I'd spent more time at the office." The same could be said for any other wealth-motivated exercise.

If I have learned one thing in life it is this: money is, at best, a necessary evil. A means to an end. Pursuing it as an end in itself is an indication that we have strayed from the path and forgotten what we were doing.
And yet it rings true. Sure, if everyone was a Mr. Smith it would be fine. But with poor incentive structures, people are collectively going to do what they have to do.

The same applies to police who aren't actively corrupt, but don't combat the corruption around them. The ones who do fight corruption end up fired 'with cause' at best, or forcibly committed to mental institution or killed at worst.
Both C++ and Rust are equally unintuitive to understand, especially compared to Python which is effectively pseudo-code already. Whichever is more “understandable” is left solely up to the familiarity of the developer in question.
If you have 2 periodic waves of amplitude a1 and a2 coming from different directions the peaks combine at every intersection, so there's always a grid of a1 + a2 double-peaks. If the wavelengths are around 100m, there's a double-peak every 10000 m^2 (1 hectare).

If you add a 3rd periodic wave from another direction, at any point in time some of these double-peaks will align with the peak of the 3rd wave to form a triple-peak. If you set the cutoff at a1 + a2 + 0.95a3, then about 10% of the double-peaks are triple-peaks (because cos(10% * pi) ~ 0.95).

Add a 4th orthogonal wave and about 1% are at least a1 + a2 + 0.95a3 + 0.95a4. So with 4 waves, we have a quad-peak every 100 hectares (a small farm).

Nothing to do with my network, it has disappointing latency for drawing applications (it's not just about the theoretical latency of input, you have to consider the whole chain, with translation to softwares). Pretty much every pro reviewer has said has much.

I can see why it is completely fine for your application but you can't say the same for other applications.

Besides it doesn't even make much sense to need that when the thing has such a powerful processor, Apple need to get their shit together and have it run real Mac software and that's it.
Sorry that your experience in academia has been so negative in this regard. If it is any consolation, mine has been the opposite.

Maybe Apple just realized that they would have bought the top of a massive pump and dump scheme with the huge risk of the researchers leaving the company whilst the training and inference costs suffocates OpenAI.

Basically it is all about how well he treat his interviewees. He makes a lot of research on somewhat obscure but fun facts about someone's life, like some trivia from his time as a child, some bands he was a fan in the past, etc. Sometimes he also brings gifts valuable to the person being interviewed, like the VHS tape he gave to Snoop Dogg. It is not only about being a quirky character, but also making some famous person very comfortable, a lot of people like that approach, maybe because your a fan of the person being interviewed, or just because it is nice to see famous people's normal life before the fame. Nardwuar is also a very nice guy, despite his persona.

This is a good point as well! When reading it I was reflecting on how internet compares to 1980s television. Yes, it has much more dopamine-fueled content, but it's way less of a monoculture. It gives a lot of opportunity for people to seek out what they're interested in and there's hundreds (thousands?) of communities with very different set of thoughts.

The entire writing room was Harvard grads and people who went on to accomplish impressive things in the industry (eg Conan O’Brien was a writer, David X Cohen was a writer and then went on to cocreate Futurama with Groening). The early writing team was one of the sharpest ever assembled and dismissing it as a “goofy cartoon” is missing the talent behind it just like if you dismissed Futurama in that way.

I know a lot about London pubs, and this made me smile.

If you want to see the kind of old layout he’s talking about, almost any Sam Smith pub in London will do - they pride themselves on keeping it traditional - with the best and most striking example probably being the Princess Louise near Holborn. Just don’t expect any beer names you recognise - it’s a brewery pub that only sells stuff made by Sam Smiths (the beer), or branded Sam Smiths (the spirits, the snacks…)

Most of the others still exist, but I think have been refurbished quite extensively and not in a way he’d like.

However, there is some hope. Newer bars are opening that are trying to tap into a less sports-focused vibe. Some focusing on food, some on entertainment, quite a few on a wider range of more unusual beers (the “Tap” chain near train stations and just down the road from Farringdon for example).

Of course the dominant player in the mega pub “hall” space is Wetherspoons. Caverns - low-ceilinged cathedrals almost - to cheap beer and Brexit politics. They’re cheap, and so attract clientele who are price sensitive. That leaves more room in all the others for those of us who value something else, I guess.

The pub trade in the U.K. though is in trouble. It’s interesting that Europe’s largest consumer lobby group is based in the U.K.: CAMRA. It’s most interesting that the CAMpaign for Real Ale, started to protect traditionally brewed cask ale from being obliterated by the sorts of breweries that thought beer should be tankered like petrol, has had to change it’s target.

CAMRA basically thinks the war for Real Ale has been won. The rise of microbreweries has meant a plentiful supply of good quality beer is secure. But the pub is not. So now it’s become a bit more CAMPUB, and campaigns to save the business of public houses itself, the traditional bar games (skittles or bar billiards, anyone?), and the communities that sit in them.

The architecture is important, the interior should be considered, the screens have a place in some - but not all - pubs.

But it’s the people that matter, and at the moment the industry is in a mess.

It’s remarkable so many pubs in this article still exist. I don’t think many of them will survive another 60 years, perhaps not even another 10.

Enjoy them while you can.
The OP did not express the idea properly: people are not prejudicially disqualified because of the industries they worked in, but intrinsic disqualification comes from twisted profiles. "Guts exciters", getting followers through seducing their lower instances, is one of them.

I am not labelling individuals here - but there are very many around the world fitting that description.

In this case, the best tool for the job is the one that will let you:

1. Continue to easily iterate on the solution now and in the future (compiled languages have a built-in hinderance, in that you never know when a given binary corresponds to some state of the source tree)

2. Allow you to trivially talk to inotify/ReadDirectoryChangesW /FSEvents/kqueue/etc so that you only need to read the file when it actually changes

3. Minimise maintenance (installing third-party headers/libraries, setting up a project, etc etc)

You can just store a snapshot on disk (ie, the raw text) and load that directly. You only ever need to look at historical edits when merging concurrent changes into the local document state. (And thats pretty rare in practice).

Even when that happens, the algorithm only needs to look at operations as far back as the most recent "fork point" between the two branches in order to merge. (And we can compute that fork point in O(n) time - where n is the number of events that have happened since then). Its usually very very fast.

In an application like google docs or a wiki, the browser will usually never need to look at any historical changes at all in order to edit a document.

> If we send you to space you'll have to pass a fitness test.. Because we aren't stupid?

The real problem societies face is reaching a good fitness test for decision makers.

That includes voters - discriminating, promoting, managing (etc.) the best electorate. And we had more focus and success in the past (abbeys, Venice etc.) than in the present, where the matter of electoral systems is kept like a theoretical branch of political science. And in running reality, people get Gerrymandering - an _opposite_ effort.

Are you referring to the €1.8 billion Anti-trust fine against Apple ? Where Spotify met the EU commission 65 times during the course of its investigation ?

What is wrong with that ? NO one should be forced to kneel to Apple's ridiculous criminal mafia pricing. Considering that Spotify sells music on its web-site, why should Apple abuse power to force payment through themselves, obtain a free pass on theft and mandate higher prices on everyone ? Blatant American corporate robbery through forced threats of expulsion should no longer be tolerated by the rest of the world and it is good that the EU is fighting back.

On a tangent, this video[0] from Sabine Hossenfelder about academics in general is eye opening. In comments, veritasium[1] agrees:

>After finishing my PhD I went to a university-led session on ‘What Comes Next.’ What I heard sounded a lot like “now, you beg for money.” It was so depressing to think about all the very clever people in that room who had worked so very hard only to find out they had no financial security and would be spending most of their days asking for money. I realised that even what I thought of as the ‘safe path’ was uncertain so I may as well go after what I truly want. That led me here.

That’s a choice you get to make and probably depends on your problem domain and other things. For example when I was writing R2 it was all ArrayBuffers up and down the stack. And you could use something like capnproto or flat buffers for managing your object graph within an array buffer. But yeah, being able to transfer custom object graphs would be more powerful.
I’d just like to add that the epidemic wasn’t stopped at all. Everyone still caught COVID.

> Do all possible topological sorts of the event graph result in the same final consensus document?

Yes. Thats usually referred to as the "convergence property".

> If yes how do we know that

Usually, careful design, mathematical proofs and randomized (fuzz) testing. Fuzz testing is absolutely essential - In over a decade of working on systems like this, I don't know if I've ever implemented something correctly first try. Fuzz testing is essential. You shouldn't trust the correctness of any system which haven't been sufficiently fuzzed. (Luckily, fuzzers are easy to write, and the convergence property is very easy to test for.)

For Eg-walker, I think we've pumped around 100M randomly generated events (in horribly complex graphs) through our implementation to flush out any bugs.
Well, I apologize for using the word “fluff.” That was a mistake.

As a lifelong engineer, I “grew up” with a somewhat antagonistic relationship with Marketing, so became used to disparaging their work, even if I had to change hats, myself, and act in a Marketing capacity.

I should have probably used the word “copy,” instead.

But you have a good point.

I think that one “legitimate” use for AI-generated text, will be for non-native speakers of a language, using it to correct their vocabulary.

For things like patents and papers, this is probably a good thing. AI can generate clear, concise vernacular. I often specify the reading level, in my prompts (usually tenth grade), so that the prose is accessible.

For things like presentation proposals; not so much. You may get a proposal that reads like it was written by an English professor, and the actual presentation is barely comprehensible.
not sure if this matters?
