I suspect why this is overestimated has a lot to do with media treatment. Different people than you moving in is scary to people, scary things get engagement, engagement gets eyeballs in front of ads. I don't know how to measure this though because this model is so ubiquitous, where would you find a control?
How does this work long term? So say ten years down the line.. RVA34 comes out. But you will compile for RV22 and then have have spaghetti of 10+ platform specific codepaths in the binary？

I feel at some point you're either going to have penalties from the all the platform check and jumps or you're going to only use these extension in critical hotpaths and they get underutilized (what you see with SSE in x64 and the whole mess on ARM)
There has never been an "unprovoked aggression against Yugoslavia". More than 130K people were killed and 4 million displaced (mainly by Serb troops) and people begged for an intervention, which came to late (think about Sarajevo, Srebrenica).

It doesn't fit your narrative.
It's a matter of how aggressive is the fog of war and removal of irrelevant entities. Sometimes it's high, sometimes it's low. Too high, and people glitch into existence on high-latency connections. Too low, and you know exactly where people are far behind where you need to.

Many custom servers in games like CS enable a more aggressive version, in cases where you geographically will be close, so you can rule out high latency connections and have more aggressive fog of war.
Likely this is some aggregator in the Healthcare space that uses tools that effectively fingerprint patients in each EHR.

This deduplicates patients and lets them find specific details like which medications they are on without knowing any PII.

It's very common for researchers within health systems to want to collaborate and combine populations to perform retroactive data analysis.
I think this heavily depends on what people perceive as immigrants. If they considered every non white person to be an immigrant, even if their families have been here for generations, then it would approach 33%.
These aren't preventative drugs, they are to treat people who are already fat.

Bioelectronic drug-free control of pathogens through selective excitability
It'll never happen, as long as American culture views body weight as a moral failing. We can't make it easy for people to fix the things we want them to fix, after all.
They probably did, but spear shafts get reused and the heads get melted down. A sword is much more labor-intensive and expensive to produce (not to mention harder to use effectively), so less likely to be recycled for it's constituents and more likely to be found in the archaeological record.

Nothing makes me more sad than seeing a PR with the default description like 'Closes FOO-123'.

Conversely nothing makes me happier than an informative description especially when it states how the PR was tested. Sometimes I don't even need to look at the code.
I fully agree. Least of all because it is sold at between $60-200 abroad full-priced. Those countries just have price controls; the pharmacies are still making 80%+ profit margins in those places.

Ultimately, a lot of people will literally die because of this greed. That isn't hyperbole.
Which model would you recommend to try it on? Would you train it from scratch, or finetune an existing one?
Stronger by Science did a deep dive into some studies by exercise scientists into Amish activity, diet, and body composition trackers a few years back. I hope I'm relaying faithfully, but as I recall, it was something like 18,000 steps a day, 9% body fat, and ~4,000 calories of food intake for the men. The step count belies far more demanding levels of activity, as this isn't just leisurely walks in the park but hard manual farm labor. Women were much more comparable to post-industrial populations, but with the enormous confounder that they were pregnant almost all the time. Diet is just huge amounts of potatoes, grains, and pastured meat they're producing themselves.

I had a girlfriend almost 20 years ago whose family made an interesting case study. They lived on a farm in Amish country in Lancaster County, PA, but theirs was the only land that was not Amish. They were actually still off the grid electrically, but her dad was an engineer turned farmer that ran his own generators off of waste vegetable oil he collected for free from the restaurants in Philadelphia he sold food to. Their cars were also modified to run off of that. They had lifestyles otherwise much more inline with typical American lifestyles. Her dad and brother were both enormous, probably over 300 pounds each. As far as I can tell from searching right now, they seem to still be alive and a lot has been written about them over the years, along with interviews and features on YouTube.

In short, though, I think there are limitations to the assumptions you can make about carcinogen exposure just looking at non-Amish who live near the Amish. Even when you're literally next door, you've got the same air and the same water, but you travel, are much more regularly exposured to vehicle and engine exhaust, eat food that was shipped in from elsewhere. You probably don't stay in the same place your entire life.
100%, it needs to transmit pretty much constantly. Something like an H264 stream or an audio stream via TCP or UDP over something like wifi.

Archaeobotanical study here: https://sci-hub.ru/10.1371/journal.pone.0201409

...many of the most important routes of Eurasian exchange transected some of the highest mountain ranges in the world; however, limited archaeological investigation has been undertaken outside the major urban centers at lower elevations. Furthermore, there is still little scientific inquiry into what goods were actually moving along the historical trade routes. We use archaeobotanical data to study what crops were actually consumed at these medieval towns and compare the data to other sites in order to explore the spread of domesticated plants across the ancient world. We suggest that orchards and vineyards around the oasis cities of Central Asia, such as Bukhara, Khiva, Loulan, and Samarkand, provided cultivated goods for merchants and travelers, who in turn carried those fruits and grains along a nodal network and ultimately across two continents. In this article, we synthesize medieval-period botanical data and present a systematic study of botanical remains recovered from anthropogenic sediments from Tashbulak, Uzbekistan (A.D. 800–1100). We also suggest that most of the fruit crops identified in this archaeobotanical assemblage were carried to the site by merchants from lower elevations, based on the fact that many of these trees cannot grow at high elevations. By pulling together these diverse data sets and contrasting them with historical sources, we argue that arboreal crops were a prominent part of the economy across Central Asia during this period and that certain crops dispersed across Eurasia through Central Asia.
I really don't like this style of article. It tries to imply something greater than Tim Burton's experience of the internet, but it is more like hot sauce gives me heartburn. Know what you should do when hot sauce gives you heartburn, stop eating hot sauce.
Always interesting to see new RTOSs. However, I’m not sure CHERIoT is, I read the about section I’m still not too sure. Can anyone give me a ELI5?
> This stuff may happen, I can't say it is untrue, but I've never seen a manager terminate a decent to good programmer because they didn't understand their workload.

This happens all the time. It just doesn't look so obvious.

In practice management will push the developer to communicate and document and justify the work. If the dev complies, they find themselves spending most of their time on the overhead. Welcome to big software enterprises where very little gets done.

If they don't comply, then management will keep adding pressure and eventually get rid of the developer because of "behavioural issues".

I feel like that's too over-confident. They'll just do what corporations have been doing for decades. Invest in PR that paints this as protecting the American way and American values, and all the other nonsense corporations will use to convince voters to vote against their best interests.
This is extremely elitist and reductionist. Plenty of the best comments/discussions on HN come from non-programmers. Personally, I like that people from various backgrounds come together like this as it tends to provoke more interesting discussion and makes HN less of an echo chamber than Reddit.

Yes, (search) indeed they use WebKit [1] [2]. You also have the option to use WKWebView. But in this context you should use WKWebView if you want to access WebKit as a developer and be able to publish in the App Store. If you don't need to be accepted in the App Store you can use WebKit compiling it from the source.

Do bots even use QUIC? Either way, holding tcp state instead of udp state shouldn't be a big difference in 2024, unless you're approaching millions of connections.
Ah yeah, you're right.
> Your manager's job is to look out for what's best for the team, not to answer to a chain of command. This isn't the military.

No, your manager's job is to make their boss look good. This trickles up to making the CEO look good to the board and ultimately the investors/shareholders.

Yea, like I'd rather have a doctor who actually listens to what I'm saying than one who got top marks in medical school, and honestly network engineers I've worked with who strike me as "higher IQ" often fall into the pitfall described by the adage "the perfect is the enemy of the good" (which I empathize with, because I am also a high-IQ person with this kind of bias, but it's actually quite counterproductive at times)
In this context Windows Recall makes total sense now from a AI learning perspective for them.

It’s actually a super cool development and I’m very exiting already to let my computer use any software like a pro infront of me. Paint me canvas of a savanna sunset with animals silhouette, produce me a track of uk garage house, etc. everything with all the layers and elements in the software not just an finished output.
Something called g. Which is basically rounds to our intuition of how smart you are. It is one the best predictors of job performance (up there with a work sample test), income, reaction time, how much schooling you'll get, how likely you are to commit crime, how long you'll live.

Imagine it like this, if we give someone a history test, a math test, a physics test, and english test. We'll notice how good you are at any given tests predicts how good you are at other tests. Even though math and history don't have any real overlap in terms of skills. They also found that doing well on some of these tests will better predict how well you'll do at others. For instance math and physics are typically more g-loaded so if someone does well on a math or physics test they are more likely to do well on an english test than the reverse. We call this quality of that predicts how well you're going to do at intellectual tasks g. And then we built a test to try to measure G and that's an IQ test, with IQ being the measurement of g.

Jetbrains does do one thing slightly differently from most "subscription to own" things. You’re only entitled to the version that was current when you last paid your bill. Depending on your billing cycle, this could be the latest one you were using, or it could be up to 1 year old.

It’s a bit odd. I wish I was paying for 1 year of updates.

A police officer sees a drunkard under a streetlamp and asks him what is the matter. He says that he dropped his keys, and the officer asks him where he dropped them. He points off to the side and says that he dropped them over there, but "the light is better here".

> because quality is too hard to measure

This is the heart of it. A common business school trope that leaks everywhere is to be data-driven. This is fine up to a point. Once you realize that you can't measure actual quality, and decide to measure something else and call it quality, you are now part of a management structure whose goal is the preservation of the management structure.
When you're using expo you cannot bundle your own native extensions. At my previous job we used pjsip. This extension uses JNI and native calls in iOS via objective-c. You can't bundle native extensions when using expo. You're locked to their prebuilt ones.

To use your own extensions you have to eject/or start a new application with their own native libraries. For most of what expo does you can use the unimodules libraries, they're quite good in my experience.
there's also value in creating the "thinking man's" progenitor to 2048. both are extremely valuable. and if we're doing a weighing of the souls, 2048 probably wins. but you can't blame people on this site for gravitating toward the underlying ideas rather than their instantiation-- they're (ostensibly) makers, or at least moreso than the general population.

So the maintainers that got the boot were working for sanctioned Russian organizations (or at least, could not prove that their particular employers were not under the broad OFAC sanctions regime).

Totally reasonable for the Kernel maintainers who largely live in US/EU to do this, it's hard enough working on open source without worrying about ending up in jail.
Outside of science people invent random units, they just say three football fields or 70 school busses. Which works just fine, aside from taking effort to write and maybe making some readers feel insulted.

Create a paper trail. Crank out tickets. Document everything. Hit the numbers.

No.

Add value. It's not your job to quantify it. It's not your job to create an understanding of what you do.

If your organization or your manager specifically does not recognize your contributions, be happy to move on.

If you get feedback that says "we recognize your value, but we really need x" that's reprioritization. Respond appropriately. If documenting your value in that way prevents you from actually being valuable, be vocal about it. If it's just a pain and you can still do your job, then suck up the pain like everybody else.

I've been in large engineering organizations. They want to quantify everyones value so that there's "fairness". BS. There is no large scale way to determine of a software engineer is good at his job or productive. Yes, some people have more opportunities to affect the bottom line than others. Yes, some people have easily quantifiable work. That's how the world works.

Have they figured out a way to recognize and effectively incentivize good teachers? Not in my 51 years.

Have they figured out a way to recognize and effectively incentivize good CEOs? Nope.

What makes you think that we should be that easy to stack together and figure out?

I'm senior. I'm experienced. I'm valuable. I'm not always right, and I am not always valuable. In the end, I've had a good and healthy career focusing on the things I'm good at and the things I care about while letting other people figure out if I'm worth what I cost to keep around. Some of those people made good decisions and some bad ones. I still moved forward and my kids have always had food on the table. I say that's enough.
I enjoyed Clavell's books quite a bit when I read them, so I consider him a good writer. What I know about Rand tho is that she was quite the dummy (starting from naming her very subjective "philosophy" objectivism). Her books have typically been described as hollow (haven't read any and don't intend to). So it's somewhat disappointing to see Clavell admiring her.

By randian perspective I mean reading the books while particularly focusing on themes of liberalism, individualism and the like. Of which there is certainly plenty, but not limited to.

Okay, I don't think it would be hard, most of the Flipper Modules use some sort of ESP module like an ESP8266 for the Wifi module.

I've got a flipper right here. I find it cumbersome to use, but it's a pretty popular consumer product. I'll look at what the wiring cost could be to print a board. I've never done that.

Vision is the ultimate API.

The historical progression from text to still images to audio to moving images will hold true for AI as well.

Just look at OpenAI's progression as well from LLM to multi-modal to the realtime API.

A co-worker almost 20 years ago said something interesting to me as we were discussing Al Gore's CurrentTV project: the history of information is constrained by "bandwidth". He mentioned how broadcast television went from 72 hours of "bandwidth" (3 channels x 24h) per day to now having so much bandwidth that we could have a channel with citizen journalists. Of course, this was also the same time that YouTube was taking off.

The pattern holds true for AI.

AI is going to create "infinite bandwidth".
These things are priced against their alternatives, and so are almost definitionally less expensive than the status quo ante.
HN isn't a person—it's a statistical cloud. There is always a spectrum of opinion. Most of the comments here agree with you.

There are some bilious and excessive responses but that's inevitable when a thread is large. We do our best to moderate the site so that they don't dominate.

People commonly overgeneralize-then-anthropomorphize the data points that rub them the wrong way. There are cognitive biases that we all have which make this an easy trap to fall into ([1], [2], [3]), but it's important that we all try to avoid it.

If you (I don't mean you personally, of course, but all of us) allow the negative tail of the spectrum to form your picture of the community, that's bad—because your picture of the community influences how you participate in it and this will cause harmful secondary effects that can, in the worst case, turn into doom loops.

I don't think the primary harmful effects (e.g. bilious comments and upvotes for indignation) of running a large internet forum like HN are avoidable, but I do think the secondary ones are. At least I hope so!

React Native added auto-linking years ago, which solved the native dependency problems. Just `yarn add` whatever you need, and if it has native code, the the Android side will incorporate it on the next build. On the iOS side, you do have to run `pod install` to lock in the changes, but everything after that is automatic.

Use Expo because you like the extra features it ships with, but not because you have problems with native dependencies. The React Native built-in experience is pretty much perfect to start with.

> barring any life threatening long term side effects

There's the rub. We have not been prescribing semaglutide very long, and I won't trust it until we've had enough time to suss out long term side effects.

My father was on a long-term maintenance dose of immunosuppressant (I think prednisolone, but I could be misremembering) following his kidney transplant. When it was first prescribed to him, the long term side effects were either not known at all or not widely known. By the time these side effects were more widely known, it was too late, as he was already losing his vision (cataracts) and mobility (cartilage was being destroyed). He spent his last few years in pain.

I am very cautious about the potential for damaging long-term side effects.
No, the legally binding licenses that fall under the purview of Copyleft enforcement. A critical component of modern Free Software is licenses that absolve the primary author of liability that is implicitly agreed-upon when contributing third-party code.

Firstly, that's a high ask even for operating system software today. Something built for Mac 9 today is not expected to run on Mac OS 15. Demanding that from a cpu is quite the extreme.

Secondly, that's like asking cpu to do the job of a compiler. The compiler has one advantage over a cpu: it runs in a completely situation where memory and time do not matter. The cpu doesn't have the luxury of trading off memory or time.
so you used the same logic that i made fun of in your post to make fun of the logic in your post... to say that my post was silly?
