Good post. I’ve been thinking about doing offline testing of LLM tasks a bit these days and have come to the conclusion that old school testing is the best until more mature features can be developed. Specifically, I mean running a power analysis to determine sample size, random sampling based on that and then running tests like a z test to see if there is a difference and between what bounds. Tests are expensive and I wish there was a better way for realizable offline evals.
Ask HN: I want to use two phones with one SIM

Vehicle manufacturers don't typically re-source parts in the middle of production, nor would they do this several times in one year.

Tesla does. They're constantly changing parts out.
It’s certainly possible to explore vulnerabilities in TVs and IoT devices, but proceed carefully and legally. If you’re a beginner, focus on learning in safe labs and contributing to bug bounty programs rather than experimenting without a plan. Smart devices are becoming increasingly secure, and bypassing protections can be more complex than it seems. Source https://randomcountry.world/
Pretty reasonable. I don’t know where it pulled tachyons and it’s clue from though, that’s funny.
Perhaps there is a lot of money you could get in short term. Enough to pay the costs and generate some profit.

Also, most people are not computer experts; if you show them something can be done using your website, they will continue to do it using your website long after others have added the same functionality.
Blazor Server in an enterprise (intranet) is extremely fast because the network is extremely fast.

Across the Internet, it's still quite fast if you use Azure SignalR service, which is effectively a globally distributed CDN. Most commercial apps use this service.

Blazor WASM is better than I thought it would be. My company has built a healthcare SaaS app that has ~5k daily users on it and no one has complained about the initial rendering and download time to pull down 25MB on the initial load. This sounds like a lot but with modern broadband, 5G, and CDNs, this takes about a second or two.

I agree with most of your points, except I'm not sure about this:

> when you fail to board Airplane B that event gets flagged. Not a huge deal but you might have a problem getting a refund

The passenger would cancel that refundable B ticket right after security, before boarding begins. Or is this impossible after checking into the flight which happens before security?
Your first and last paragraphs are at odds with one another. They have to solve a lot of problems to do the project, but it's too bad they're not spending money to solve problems...

The walls are mirrored, not glass. Even if it were glass, would cooling it use more energy than having most of the population drive in and out everyday and sit in traffic jams on km upon km of concrete? It's even worse in areas where that concrete is placed where vegetation could be doing the job of fixing carbon.

It's sustainable because of the density, and because it's built around public transportation. We should get back to vertical, dense towns and cities that are connected by trains.

The argument here is that the US will have worse health outcomes than another country because the people are less healthy. Cost of care doesn't factor into this argument.
I guess I don't really understand this argument in an age of near-overnight shipping. I am not a farmer, but I have maintained EOL equipment like refrigerators, fancy stoves, a MB 240D, chainsaws in a small mountain town (ie, far from parts sources). I tend to have the next obvious replacement parts on the shelf already. So for instance I have brake pads for a 2001 Toyota Tundra on the shelf.

Though I am not a farmer I have spent time with the spouse's family out in W Minnesota and all of them were farmers. I did not get the impression that they were useless around a wrench, welding rig, or electrical circuits.

An argument I could buy about Deere's brand loyalty is that (I know nothing about this beyond farmer hearsay) the current generation of farmers seems to really like the GPS automation. Grandpa can go a lot more years these days, is the point. I'd be curious about the accuracy of that anecdata.
Sure. One difference.

'mandatory milk'

Many primary schools in the UK in the 1960s/1970s would have had 'milk monitors' - pupils whose job was to help distribute small servings of milk to their classmates. The milk distribution was an attempt to offset child malnutrition. The role continues to evoke strong feelings today. The Brit ex prime minister Rishi Sunak was described as a 'jumped up milk monitor' and when (in the 1970s) Margaret Thatcher as education secretary (minister) cancelled the school milk programme, she was reviled as 'Thatcher Thatcher Milk Snatcher'.
It is notable that the industry spends more on marketing than R&D. Virtually all of this spend is in the US; very few countries allow the marketing of prescription drugs to consumers.

Quite a bit of the high pricing for Americans is also by companies who _don’t even do_ R&D to any significant extent; companies who only make generic price them dramatically higher in the US than elsewhere.
At first glance this seems like a healthy attitude (and probably is)

On the other hand this spaghetti stuff usually comes back to them in form of new (bug) tickets or even worse on-call alerts. Then they (or some other poor soul) has to deal with it again.
I think Zimbardo's work on shyness is a valuable contribution that could resonate with the HN community, especially given the focus on introspection and analytical thinking here. His book on the subject [1] offers insights that might be relevant to many.

You have to see those whales skeletons in person to understand their sheer size. And if you want to know more than you need to about whales, pick up a copy of Moby Dick.

Interestingly, this library seems to suffer from the opposite problem: where setTimeout can trigger earlier than expected, setBigTimeout can trigger never at all!

The problem is that when setBigTimeout is invoked with a floating-point number (and numbers are floating-point in JS by default), it keeps computing the time left till trigger in floating point. But FP numbers are weird:

> 1e16 - 1 == 1e16
true

At some point, they don't have enough precision to represent exact differences, so they start rounding, and this gets extremely more inaccurate as the value increases. For correct behavior, remainingDelay needs to be stored in BigInt.

Of course, this problem is mostly theoretical, as it starts happening at around 2^83 milliseconds, which doesn't even fit in a 64-bit time_t, and it's not like humanity will exist by then. But still!
Older, almost certainly. The discovery of advertising murals and graffiti in Hereculum makes me smile a little. Humans have been humans all along.
Health insurance in the US is a large, complicated mess. OTOH, hospitals and healthcare providers are also a large, complicated mess. In my opinion they are somewhat codependent and, in many cases, fighting for the same dollars. That is, I suspect any dollars you save on insurance will be eaten up by increasing money spent on providers and vice versa.

I think the author made the right choice to leave these lumped together. It would be interesting to see how these costs confound over time but would make this article even longer.

The original offer was a 25% raise over 4 years. Then Boeing offered 30% and went to the public with it. And now this deal is at 35%. The union originally asked for 40%. I know there are a lot of other details mixed up in here around bonuses and retirement benefits and job security and so on. But does this mean the union “won” this process since the number is close to what they wanted? The one big thing it looks like they aren’t getting that the original deal had is that the next model won’t be guaranteed to be built in Washington.

Also, is it actually good for the union workers in the bigger picture? Presumably they lost one month of pay. And a lot of other (non union) people are getting laid off, who probably view the union as a bad actor. Also those tired of the union work culture in Everett may continue to leave, continuing a drain of the best talent. Boeing probably is in a more precarious position than ever before. They will likely stick to the smaller plane lineup and diversify manufacturing away from Washington and automate more. So is this really good for the union or is it just really good for the workers who are there now, since they will get the most of what they could get out of the company before they retire? To them it may not matter what the future of Boeing is past their retirement.

> Catching a whale was akin to striking oil.

Quite literally, apparently.
> Honestly this feels like an indictment of privatizing space travel

NASA has involved the private sector for over half a century. Taking that out of the equation leaves you with SpaceX absolutely killing it and Boeing bumbling along despite getting bigger contracts from the government, so it's hard for me to draw this same conclusion.

> a benefactor with unbelievable wealth being able to hoard the best engineers

Hmm.. the implication here doesn't ring true at all. "Oh how I wish I could work at Boeing where all the real innovation happens, but here I am stuck at SpaceX due to these darn golden handcuffs". I hope SpaceX people get paid a lot, but I suspect the draw for most is what they are doing and the speed at which they are doing it.

Generally, any given software can be done in hardware.

Specifically, we could attach small custom coprocessors to everything for the Linux kernel, and Linux could require them to do any sort of multitasking.

In practice, software allows us to customize these things and upgrade them and change them without tightly coupling us to a specific kernel and hardware design.

I don't think we can scale either fossil fuel energy or renewable energy to several orders of magnitude (10^(2+)x). Do we even have means to extract 100x fossil fuels in the time we currently extract 1x on this planet, and does the planet have enough to sustain that pace for a meaningful time? Do we have the means to manufacture 1,000x solar panels and where do we put them, and how much climate change would that cause alone? Same for other renewables.

I think it's good to think about investing into energy at these scales, it would open a lot of exciting doors for humanity, as Kardashev described. But we are at the very start of this investment and I think we need vastly different novel technologies to think about 100x, 1,000x, 10,000x, etc.

We will probably have to do with what we've got for now.
> Government health care is insurance writ large

I would argue that it has even more tradeoffs; unlike private insurance, it's usually both mandatory and a monopoly, and that can go very wrong very quickly.

The US system is extremely overregulated and preventing true competition, even though US insurance is private, so there aren't really any good data points to compare, though.
I would recommend checking out Avo (https://github.com/mmcloughlin/avo) if you're interesting in writing Go assembly programs. It provides type safety and does some checks to ensure you output valid assembly. It can dynamically allocate registers for you and calculate things like stack and frame size so you don't have to do that by hand. It also can handle calling convention details for you, very easy to load an argument into whatever register/location you'd like.

I recently ported all of the amd64 assembly in Go's crypto libraries over to Avo. Very useful library for this sort of work!

Don't tell me that if you allow long passwords you'll run into the body size limit of the http server when you set the maximum password length to a measly 16 bytes because your choice of password hash scales like O(length(password)*iterations) which opens you up to a denial of service if you allow longer passwords. 50, 100, even 200 byte passphrases are reasonable and make no discernible performance difference to sanely designed auth servers.

There's no reason* why the time a hashing algorithm takes to do security rounds should vary with the length of the user's password. If you want to prevent DoS as GP mentioned then run all passwords through one round of a (fast) secure hash algorithm, then do security rounds with the output. This is what Argon2 does by default https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon2

… Where on earth are you getting that? As a high earner in a European country, about 8-9% of my income goes on the health service (though that includes some non-healthcare stuff). And I’m an extreme outlier; multinational salary and equity, single, no kids. For a single childless person on the average wage it’s about 2.5%.
You could use your engagement to live a live infused with your values, as a beacon to other like minded people, or people who were unaware they were like minded, until they saw your light in their tunnel.
Healthcare became like public education in the USA, a political ideology that subverts the body politic to support jobs for people who do not have real skills but whose great granddad had 33 degrees in secrecy. In other words it is entirely a support system for the least of the privileged, while also paying huge sums to the owners and "providers" of those systems (textbooks, syringes, insurance, etc).

If U.S. Americans did not have an irrational verve for education as the supposed panacea of democracy, there would be no public education system. If they did not believe the intense pseudoscience of the medical industry, they would not care about health insurance.

But as they are under the sway of such false conscience, the system of gradual decline called inflation pays for unqualified people to keep a livelihood at the expense of a misled and deluded public. That expense is not only the costs of running these systems but their detriments to the health and education they pretend to treat.

The increased spending on healthcare is no different than spending more on education or the "homeless problem", it is simply a politics of shifting more funds into systems that are legally obligated to pay high sums for a lot of nothing. It only appears different than education because we pretend its not completely wrapped up in public spending and politics like education is. Obama made sure that healthcare would hold such a place as education in the system with the reforms to healthcare, and the people applauded this.

High incomes paying more for healthcare is simply those who can afford it using the system that ultimately pays for the health and education of the rich at the expense of the health and education of the poor. After all we know that nobody who is rich is paying any of their healthcare bills, they have excellent health insurance for that.

Rights are rather useless unless granted by a law-enforcing power. I mean, I could grant another human (or a rock) the right to rule the world, but no one else would care.

As for the contract, I don't see how you get from legal fiction to enforceable.

But yes, it is an interesting area to explore. And we can look at AIs today and ask if we modern humans are really all that more autonomous.

Yet, I would still like a checksum option because of its constant size impact.

I didn't consider before though that checksumming would differ from json's understanding of equality if items are reordered (objects, but also some other cases like integers with explicit sign +0, 0, -0). Those cases could (optionally) be considered in a normalization step.
The inner circle emerged after GvR resigned. It largely consists of people who haven't contributed that much to Python3 (sometimes nothing at all in terms of code).

The members occupy different chairs in the PSF, Steering Council and the all-powerful CoC troika. They rotate, sometimes skip one election and then come back.

Their latest achievement is the banning of Tim Peters and others:

Tim Peters is just the tip of the iceberg. Many bans are private, intimidation is private.

Steering council members can insult, bully and mock others without any CoC consequences for themselves and keep getting elected. That is how you know that they are in the inner circle.

Interestingly in an 80's Toyota I worked on there were some minor revisions part way through a given model year. Most of the vehicle stayed the same, but I recall in some cases you needed to know year and month rather than just year in order to find the correct part or wiring diagram. I'd have to answer the question: Do I have the early version or the late version in this case?
I have been looking for this for a while. I built a browser with Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) a while back, but Google neutered all users of it by disallowing Google logins from it using opaque heuristics that were hard to work around.

I made a POC of using Qt to capture the FF window: https://github.com/cretz/ffembedpoc. But I fear if a browser engine becomes too easy to embed, large companies like Google will blackball it for fear of automated use, like they've done in the past.
