I'll never forget that the first mp3 I ever downloaded was WG's self-read (and quite edited) Neuromancer audiobook -- must've been late 90's or early 00's. It is four pairs of 45min files and features an excellent techno soundtrack by U2's The Edge. I had never heard of the novel before he released the mp3s for free due to his publisher deciding they needed a more professional version. I have listened to it hundreds of times as programming background sound, such that I can still wow my fam by repeating entire random sections of it.

Much later, I have listened to his latest two books, The Peripheral and Agency many times (with teenage daughter), and love them as they are more actual sci-fi. That said, his previous trilogy (Pattern Recognition, Spook Country, and Zero History) are our favorite of his now, though they are barely what most would consider sci-fi. All his books are really capers and weave in his unique, poignant, and heart-oriented perspectives on our modern world.

It is worth noting that his collection of non-fiction articles, Distrust that Particular Flavor, is thought-provoking and simply wonderful.

Impossible to predict accurately, since so much of opportunity is luck. Maybe they would have made better connections in school. Maybe they would not have. Maybe they would have made the exact same connections.

It's possible to make a statistical argument that since they got such ridiculously unlikely opportunities, any deviation from the path they took would have been bad for them. But then you're no longer arguing about the value of education, you're just making observations about a pair of lucky people. And that's not compelling at all, when you don't address the entire outcome distribution for people making the exact same choices.

Are you familiar with techniques such as mseal? People are trying to take measures to make things in their namespace or address space immutable to protect against partial compromises. It's actually more useful than it seems however it would seem that vendors who are trying to protect selinux this way are not actually able to do it in a robust manner.

Did you see the video? There was one proprietary, weakly encrypted part that she discovered, cracked and documented.

Secondly, while individually each thing is independently documented (RDS, Nyquist criteria, sound cards, FSK/QPSK, etc), it is nice to see someone bring all of it together. Surely you don't mean to say that you have not relied on web resources to pull together a project, where one _could_ go to more primary sources, but you are thankful that someone showed you the way?

The trie approach seemed to be a bit plain. Tries are particularly good for storing netblocks, and see if a particular IP belongs to some block stored there. But is better to use binary values instead of strings, and to use patricia or radix trees as they might compress strings of bits without branches with a single node. And, anyway, postgresql already have the netblock type with efficient indexes for them.

But if that is used for individual IPs, without worrying about blocks they belong to, probably won't get big gains in that area.

> all while still arguing monorepos are easy and great

I don't know anyone who says monorepos are easy.

To the contrary, the tooling is precisely the hard part.

But the point is that the difficulty of the tooling is a lot less than the difficulty of managing compatibility conflicts between tons of separate repos.

Each esoteric bug in C only needs to be fixed once. Whereas your version compatibility conflict this week is going to be followed by another one next week.

Yes, physcadelics and marijuana have different habit formation characteristics. Since nobody is talking about marijuana here, and it is a totally different chemical compound - I assumed you were not just giving a what-about'ism response. How about nicotine addiction? Opioids, sex, gambling, sugar, alcohol? The habit formation characteristics are different and seemingly irrelevant. What was your point to smuggle in that marijuana sometimes has its habit forming characteristics downplayed? Do you have any evidence for habit formation properties of physcedlics? There is evidence for marijuana addiction that I am aware of: studies, surveys, treatment center numbers. The chemical compounds are completely different though. Why therefore are we now talking about cannabis addiction?

I largely agree with the point he's making, but would say it's less about writing than it is about one's attention span (people are always checking phones and devices to avoid long stretches of thought) and willingness to avoid conformity (our society has changed to reward being part of a group). Thinking and writing requires both in order to be good. It feels to me that those activities are being discouraged and even punished in the US in 2024.

I have only a tyro's appreciation for typography, so please forgive my uninformed question. Is it a pity that LaTeX+microtype is the pinnacle of automatic typesetting because it's not good enough, or because it's non-web-focused and there is no web analogue of equivalent quality?

Bulk data collection is not costly to collect, its cents per person; if that.

Javascript running on the visitors endpoint is not costly at all (the customer pays for it). Bulk data purchases of anonymized data are also quite common, and easily correlated back to the original profile (person) pre-de-anonymization.

A 1-2 month period in a metropolitan area (50k+) for a bulk sale would get you all the anonymized location data for every single person in the region, cost you about $1200, this gives you devices, travel, work, home, patterns (what restaurants you go to, what your likely demographic is, what you do every day). That is 2.4cents per person (at 50k, price going down the larger the metropolitan population).

There's an entire data processing pipeline devoted to this in a sub-niche of IT called Master Data Management.

The development of Chrome was motivated by the last mile click data, GiS collects way more than you think as well and its enabled by default in all android devices. Even if you never connect a device up, remote sensing networks may offer a connection on the unregulated bands in a mesh network like Amazon Sidewalk, and devices with radios often beacon semi-regularly.

Large companies share signal data as well, and there other sharing agreements where only a token effort is done on de-anonymization but correlations remain the same allowing deduction of the original profiles. All they need is enough points in common, which is not that high.

The business is in selling the memberships involved for access to this data without a warrant ever being needed. You perform a lookup on the data, and can use that pretty much however you want no restrictions (within the law). That is literally the product that they are selling... people.

Some day try splurging and buy access to view your accurint profile. I almost guarantee you'll be shocked. Also they don't keep this that well guarded as evidenced by the continuous rolling release of announcements regarding data breaches. You think they don't import info that's posted from a data breach to back-check their existing records? This is big data we're talking about.

Since we're talking about electrons I assume that 350 kV implies that the energy of these particles is 350 keV?

The LHC often boasts energies in the TeV, but hadrons are much heavier than electrons, which I assume accounts for why this machine is so much smaller and why the energies are something like 8 orders of magnitude different.

Can someone tell me if these are reasonable assumptions?

School is not enough, learning by doing is not enough... The sweet spot lies as always in the middle. Certain things can only be learnt by doing, some things are learnt x100 faster if you learn the theory first.

The most valuable thing is learning when to apply each type of learning, and the best way to learn that is with different kind of mentors. I guess the well known people that he lists as examples had a lot of those. For me that is the differentiator.

Show HN: Blackjack Strategy Simulator – The Ultimate Tool for Optimal Blackjack
Hey HN!

I’m excited to share the Blackjack Strategy Simulator, an open-source project that simulates every possible blackjack scenario to uncover the optimal move, generate custom basic strategy tables, and calculate the expected value of any strategy—all tailored to your unique ruleset.

Features:

- Custom Basic Strategy Generation: Create strategy tables for specific blackjack rules, with true count deviations for card counting.

- Best Move Analysis: Simulate every possible scenario, including splits, to find the best action for any hand.

- Expected Value (EV) Calculation: Evaluate the profitability of different strategies, with built-in options for basic, card counting, and optimal strategies.

Fully Customizable:

- Supports various rules: decks count, dealer actions (hit/stand on soft 17), double after split, peeking, surrendering.

- Multithreaded to speed up simulations.

Try It Out:

- GitHub Repository (https://github.com/AttackingOrDefending/Blackjack-Strategy-S...) – Check out the README for setup instructions.

- Docs (https://Blackjack-Strategy-Simulator.readthedocs.io/en/lates...) – Get detailed usage instructions.

- Contributions and feedback are welcome!

Give it a spin and let me know what you think.
Except there is, because the zero the article is talking about is the mathematical zero, not the natural language one. In your experience of natural language, zero is a quantity. In math, it's very much not: it's a singularity.

Sure, as "that number between -1 and 1 on the number line", zero is mostly unremarkable, but math doesn't really care about number lines that much: as a singularity that arises from mathematical operations, its behaviour, and its "so what is it, really?" is a proper brain twister.
Scrolled through this a bit, some of it seems out of context and others have a tenuous connection at best. This just seems like a hitpiece in response to DeVault's public opinion of RMS.

I don't have a favorable opinion of DeVault (though it's been slightly warming the past few years), but this just seems forced.
For that "AI" this level of investment was not necessary though. What I mean is about companies that develops LLMs for general problem solving. They require huge investment yet their value yield is still very low.

This in no way aligns with reality. I frequently interact with users who can’t code at all but make good bug reports. One of the best ways to ensure success is to have a form (GitHub allows creating those) which describe exactly what is necessary and guide people in the right direction.

What you're saying is even worse, since you’re implying someone could be an expert computer programmer or power user, but because they’re unfamiliar with the specific language this project chose, they are incapable of making good bug reports. That makes no sense.
Moving from the conflict between capitalism and democracy to complaining about neo-pronouns is quite a jump.

> When there is zero of something, what is there zero of? That question becomes a lot more difficult to answer.

> Using zero fundamentally requires more mental reasoning than using small positive integers.

I disagree. Positive integers don't exist in a vacuum either.

You always start with a context -- the thing you're counting -- and then you are given a number. Whether 3 or 0.

I see no greater conceptual complexity in either case. I think the flaw is in your sentence:

> This knowledge wouldn't be required if there was at least one apple.

Yes it is required. We're not comparing the statements "0 apples" and "1", we're comparing "0 apples" and "1 apple".

See, my concern here is that I feel very skeptical about my instincts on this. I suspect both cars are bad, but if the Cybertruck is (for example) twice as bad as a the F-150, would I know what that would look like? I doubt it.

Up until you’re sticking Mad Max type spikes on the front, I am not sure that I’d be able to say with confidence anything other than “I think probably trucks with high bonnets are worse for pedestrians than sedans with low bonnets”.

But as you say, there’s also a bunch of interesting side concerns: what if the vehicle itself twice as bad (i.e. causes twice as many deaths at the same speed in collisions with pedestrians), but where other vehicles are getting into one collision with a pedestrian every 100 000 miles or whatever, Cybertrucks only get into collisions every 200 000 miles due to advanced AEB (or use of self-driving, etc.)? Are they even?

I dunno. Just an interesting thought to chew over.

I agree not pertinent to crude oil. Toxin is a broad term. It is anything that when added at a sufficient quantity to create a toxic environment. The waterways I refer to are poisoned by nitrogen. The overall discussion was about focusing on keeping existing environments clean as opposed to jumping to new (relatively) pristine environments. It is the idea 'if you can't take care of your existing toys, you don't get new ones.'

> I think knobs specifically target computer novices

I don't think this is the case. Knobs are very convenient and more compact than sliders, in my personal opinion (I did a lot of audio work in the past). Manufacturers create realistic UIs because they sell better due to various perception biases (brain interprets something as sounding better if it has a UI resembling an SSL console, etc.).

> Knobs are bad for fine adjustment, because the closer to the center you click and drag, the more drastic the adjustment per pixel of dragging.

This is incorrect. In almost all pro audio software knobs are operated with a vertical drag movement. Holding a modifier key increases movement precision. I definitely have seen the behaviour you described, but it was maybe in a very old VST plugin probably two decades ago.

> The shortcomings of sliders you mention are down to shitty implementations.

Sadly, it's quite common. Three modern examples from the top of my head: Renoise, Reaper, Max/MSP. Unlike knobs, sliders can be quite random in their implementation.

> It's depressing that audio software still widely subjects users to this skeuomorphic failure

May I ask, which software are you using? The original argument suggests we're discussing pro audio, but I can't recall seeing neither angular knobs, nor 'small [reset] buttons nearby sliders', and I've used a lot of different DAWs and plugins, so maybe we're talking about something else here?

It’s a lot of concentrated calories.

It's not that dense though. Fat is 2.25x as calorie dense as sugar. Many are surprised to learn that peanuts, fatty meats, oils, butters, and granolas have more calories per gram compared to Skittles. The only way to avoid overeating fat is to make the portions sizes absurdly small. There is often a shock at learning that only a tablespoon of peanut butter, which is a miniscule amount of food, is 100 calories. It's trivially easy to adds hundreds of calories with butters and other fats.
