Sure - and in principle 'someone' should go and setup this pipeline. I can guarantee you that if this process is reasonably transparent to the marketing folks, they will not care.

Or do you expect the marketing folks to go and setup this static page caching?

Take the internet back. I wonder how hard it is to have a site that mostly redirects to contributor content hosted on their PC (or RPi). Maybe it just does a little bit of caching, as much as fits memory ;-)
> Most would not move to India or any other place and impose their culture and exclude locals in a fair and just world.

I'm trying to say that going to restaurants as a group of people and having in-jokes does not qualify as "imposing your culture" in any way. These things routinely happen at companies that have few to no Indians, they just take a different form.

Also, are you really claiming that if you moved to Bangalore, and had 2-3 coworkers from your hometown that you knew and shared cultural ties with; that you wouldn't tend to hang out together at lunch?
I mean, this is awesome, obviously, but the framing is odd — this is very, very far from the SOTA, no? 30° FoV and ~30% image degradation with monochromatic images seems way less capable than the Orion Glasses. But I’m sure that’s just journal editors / academia goofballs trying to make money, and the scientists themselves know what they’re contributing. Love to see it! Cannot wait for glasses to become real so I can buy them and complain about how I never use them, like my smart watch that can talk to me.

This event may have been the decisive trigger for the Black Death in Europe.

Interestingly, Yersenia Pestis is endemic to certain marmot that lives in Mongolia and also happen to be a delicacy when eaten with hot stones (Khorkog; the cheaper version when you cant afford a sheep)

A couple of years ago I watched a documentary where Julia Robert's visited Mongolia and tried out the dish. She totally gagged at the taste!
Are you claiming positive discrimination has not been advanced under the banner of DEI, or that it has but wasn't true DEI?

- No driver support for my specific iwlwifi card

Hey, never heard of pandoc.... but I can see the similarities
Looks cool! a bit of crypto hygiene though, I'd recommend passing the ECDH output through a KDF before using it in xsalsa20-poly1305.

Also, if you're using xsalsa20 anyway, why go through the trouble of doing incremental n0nces? One of the main benefits of opting for an extended-n0nce construction is that it simplifies n0nce handling greatly. Why not randomly generate the 24 byte n0nce and forget about the tricky and error prone project of ensuring n0nce uniqueness?

The sibling comment says "fire them". That sounds glib, but it's the correct solution here.

From what you've described, you have a coworker who is not open to learning and considering alternative solutions. They are not able to defend their approach, and are instead dismissive (and using an ageist joke to do it). This is toxic to a collaborative work environment.

I give some leeway to assholes who can justify their reasoning. Assholes who just want their way because it's their way aren't worth it and won't make your product better.
Well, electricity consumption has fallen quite a bit, because energy intensive industries (like chemical industry) already left the country. Energy prices are still high (not as high as 2022) and they would probably be much higher if those industries were still there.

Unfortunately there is little reason to invest in Germany at the moment. It will get worse(they are already announcing an increase in health insurance rates) before it will get better.
It sounds like they do have a group with its own values.
> But wanting to learn a high-level tool and then stopping there and learning nothing more is like wanting to be an artist but never learning any art fundamentals and using an AI generator instead

It's more like an artist never learning the chemistry that makes pigments and watercolor work.

Funny enough, the definition has nothing to do with ancestry. "Native: a person born in a specified place or associated with a place by birth, whether subsequently resident there or not."

In fairness, last time I used ISO with PXE was on BIOS systems. More recent iPXE kernels (if that’s even the right word) might support seek.

Yep 100% this is the only decent solution OP has barring leaving the company. It leads to really interesting conversations and you get to learn a lot about a huge portion of the planet's population. Some people go out of their way for these experiences. But it also shouldn't be forced on someone who just wants to collect a paycheck.
Please don't take this personally, or as an attack on you. But having seen DEI first-hand, and the "equally qualified" people it has actively displaced and disenfranchised, I'd have to say that this view avoids the ugly reality on the ground wrt DEI. There is an entire country currently affected by it's poor implementation, and it's failure is just seen as more reason for efforts to be doubled and for more-extreme quotas to be put in place.
“Sony BMG initially denied that the rootkits were harmful. It then released an uninstaller for one of the programs that merely made the program's files invisible while also installing additional software that could not be easily removed, collected an email address from the user and introduced further security vulnerabilities.”

Demis Hasabis has a really interesting and unusual CV for a nobel laureate [1], he started his career in AI game programming (he worked e.g. on Popoulous II, Syndicate, Theme Park for Bullfrog, and later for Lionhead Studios on Black & White) before doing a PhD in neuroscience, becoming an entrepreneur and starting DeepMind. I would say this is a refreshing and highly uncommon pick for a nobel prize, really cool to see that you don't have to be a university professor anymore to do this kind of impactful research.

I am a proud Indian-American (naturalized after h1b) and I think this kind of discriminatory mindset has no place anywhere, definitely not in the workplace. I think my community can be secure in its success and learn to do better and be open to critique. Let's work to abolish these attitudes by being more self-aware and raising awareness & use cautionary tales like this as a wake-up call.
This machine has 8 states, so (for actual Turing Machines with an unbounded tape) you'd be looking at BB(8). However, since the tape can only store 24 symbols, the machine only has 8 (states) * 4 (tape symbols) * 24 (tape length) = 768 different configurations. Thus, any program will either terminate in at most 768 steps, or loop indefinitely.

Also I really hope the Nobel Prize of Economics goes to Bill Gates! He facilitated sooo much advances by releasing Excel that this must be recognized!

And based on this year's announcements so far I am not sure that my sarcastic comments should be taken as a joke!
The point is not the restaurant or jokes, but whether business decisions are made there (or if relationships built there drive business decisions).
Except there are far more funds that already do that (even if their count is in the minority), so their sheen wears off.

Oh wait, there have been some years the normie fund actually underperformed the market, while the Medallion fund exceeded its expectations. So much that investors got real pissed (around 2018 iirc), and that's how the separation of funds structure actually came in the financial media spotlight.

If what you say about the documentation is true, that's a paradise given recent LLM advances.
To be fair: it is a "Show HN" title (which I believe is typically used to denote a project being "shown [off]" by the op).
If you are willing to make code worse to micro optimize compile times (not even sure this is true) then you should not use any modern language with complex type checking (rust, swift, C#, etc).
Google was for the Open Web since day 1 but their aggressive ad based business model kind of doomed the Open Web because a lot of people were also incentivized cause of Google to aggressively peruse ad revenue. I think the first degree of separation between websites should be which ones are commercial and which ones are non-commercial. Of course that doesn't mean that commercial websites are bad because essentially what you want is quality information and content but at least you know what you are getting into. E.g. if you are consuming content and information from non-commercial website you know that the owner of the website is not trying to sell you something via promoted content or via affiliate link or via something else. The main question is how do you support the Open Web? Is it ads, subscription, donations etc. Hobbyists are the champions of the Open Web because they produce quality information and content free of charge for the sake of helping people and because they love creating it.

If you oveload "+" to mean whatever-you-want, it's possible. Using bad python [1], it's something like:

def sum(x,y):
if is_number(x) and is_number(y):
return x + y
elif is_number(x) and is_percent(y):
return x * (1 + y.value/100)
else:
raise fatal_error

I don't claim it's a good idea, but it's possible if the language allows operator overload.

[1] Sorry, my main current language is Racket, but I thought that python-like is easier to read for most people, in spite people that likes python can find like 10 error in 7 LOC.

That's how Nvidia's mixed precision training worked with FP32-FP16, but it isn't the case for Bfloat16 on TPUs and maybe (I'm not sure) FP8 training on Nvidia Hopper GPUs.

As a fellow Indian immigrant, I actually share your discomfort, and always try to be inclusive and diverse in my social groups. Most of my Indian coworkers and friends behave this way — we came to the US to be a part of a mixed culture, so our social groups should be diverse.

What makes me uncomfortable is that this inclusivity is increasingly being taken for granted to the point where not having it starts conversations about how to "fight back".

Even though it's not my preference I don't think there is anything wrong with Indians cracking jokes in a non-English language, or going to a restaurant by themselves. You will find that Americans will mysteriously be far more tolerant of, say, a group of French people talking among themselves in French; and going to a French restaurant as a group.
It all comes down to web engines. There are many browsers built on top of Chromium and a few that use Gecko or WebKit. Some of these try to make as few changes to the underlying engine as possible to ease the engine upgrades in their codebases, and due to the nature of the web they have to keep updating their engines.

So, a big question then is if Google, Apple, or Mozilla decide to change their engine in such a way that it would improve user tracking on the web how many of these custom browser companies and individuals (Vivaldi, Brave, Arc, Tor, folks, etc.) would be willing to undo those changes, or add code to mitigate the tracking? And then how many of them will keep migrating their patches from one version of the engine to the next? And how many of them will continue doing so when the engine maintainers will actively try to make this work harder? And how many investors will keep giving money to these browser companies?

The web is very vulnerable, and Mozilla with its board slowly leeching off all the resources out of it has long been loosing its ground for a long time. I'm afraid that we are at a point when the only way to preserve user privacy is via regulatory means. EU is clumsy, but at least they make the user tracking more annoying for advertisers, and some actors like Apple would be more hesitant to blatantly add ad supporting code to WebKit just to avoid further confrontations with the EU.
This is why Erlang's OTP focuses on supervisor trees. At each level of the component hierarchy, you have redundancy. Subcomponents themselves may have interactive complexity, but a failure or misspecification in any of the interactions making up that subcomponent simply makes that subcomponent fail. This failure is handled at a higher level by doing something simpler.

And "do something simpler" is actually a core part of this strategy. You're right that "today's systems are so complicated that many failures stem from insufficient, misunderstood, or ambiguous specifications". In most cases, yesterday's system worked just fine, you just can't sell it as a competitive advantage. So build simple, well-understood subsystems as fallbacks to the complex bleeding-edge systems, or even just take the software that's been working for a decade.
Actually you'll find that this happens a lot. Search up expat communities, for example. They don't necessarily "impose their culture and exclude locals", but they are for and by the expats from a certain country.

Seeking "your" people when living/working abroad, or when working in a diverse workspace, is pretty normal and happens everywhere. It's usually harmless though.
So, you claim I'm an anti-semite, but you cannot even define what that means.
Dated experience here. I used OpenBSD a long time ago (20 years ago) as a primary desktop as well as within data center (physical not virtualized). I absolutely loved it, however expect you will spend more time configuring for your liking.

There were occasional situations where esoteric hardware support was iffy (especially software driven win modems). I anecdotally believe there’s a better experience today but would probably pay attention to GPU and wifi hardware.

Install is a breeze, probably one of the better install experiences out there. The port system was very easy to use to install 3rd party apps. Also pretty easy to build most things from source or modify for its particular differences.

The community around source contribution takes a little adjustment since there is a real focus on the OS design goals and less so on specific edge cases. Contributing to ports is a little more accessible.

I’ve used FreeBSD around the same time with similar experience. A little larger of a community there though I found OpenBSD’s contributors to be highly engaged and accessible.

> To play the monster's advocate: There could be a hypothetical version of advertising that benefits society, the companies and the customers simultaneously.

Gov/CIA most definitely knows who Satoshi is.

Even if he always used TOR/anonymous IPs, when accessing his @gmx.com account, with the number of sign-in's he had, it must be an absolute certainty, that he want through rogue exit nodes or some other de-anonymization methods we are not aware of, but deployed by gov. agencies.
Yeah, as the Head of the Engineering Org...Makes sense.
There's a point at which it becomes impossible: the nth Busy Beaver number is independent of ZF, for n≤745 (ref: https://wiki.bbchallenge.org/wiki/Cryptids). So no, such work cannot continue forever.

We don't know whether such work can continue up to that point. The only way to find that out is to explore the relevant mathematics, and see if we find something fundamentally irreducible. There's no long-term pattern to the proofs, despite the presence of short-term patterns. (In this sense, the hunt for Busy Beavers is computationally irreducible – but there are still easier and harder ways of approaching the hunt.)

> DEI is more about getting equally qualified candidates to the table that are ignored or missed.

This is the first time I've heard that. The normal party line is that, yes, they're worse at the job but it's because they never got the opportunity to learn. You can observe in colleges that DEI-appointed students do massively worse overall despite probably being given even more leeway than normal students.

didn't he lead early successes in RL which popularized it and culminated in protein prediction?
I did raise an eyebrow at it too, but I doubt his contribution was entirely “management of resources”.

I think one must also give him the credit for the vision, risk taking and drive to apply the resources at his disposal, and RL, to these particular problems.

Without that push this research would never have been done, but there may have been many fungible people willing to iron out the details (and, to be fair, contribute some important ideas along the way).

I’m not a proponent of the “great man” theory of history, but based on the above I can see that this could be fair (although I have no way of telling if internally this is actually how it played out).
