Growing pedestrian safety crisis: predictive, prescriptive AI-driven solutions
Not mentioned is the large, laaarge youth subculture, sometimes called the ‘alt crowd’, that it’s become popular as a positive term- but honestly it’s permeated into the mainstream for sometime already as well. Calling things cunty or saying someone looks “so cunt” or “so cunty” is a term of praise and endearment in basically any situation I can think of among 3-4 separate social circles I’m in. The cutoff is pretty quick- I’d say the proportion of people who would be taken heavily aback has a sharp uptick starting around 26-28 year olds.

It’s not just Reddit, it’s tiktok and Instagram, the main, or at least two extremely, inconceivably large propagaters of youth slang and culture.
I think WebRTC data channels will be a good alternative if you want peer to peer connection. WebTransport is strictly for Client-Server architecture only.
Nvidia did ride a perfect storm of gaming + bitcoin + AI.

But AMD and others could have done the same, had they been better at riding that wave. There’s a reason it was Nvidia who won out.
> There’s nothing pedantic about pointing out that as an Apple product user you are not actually in control of the device which is purportedly yours. That’s not an ‘ultra-strict definition’ of control: it’s just what the word means.

No, it's not what the word meant. What a word means depends on context. If I had simply said, "The good news is that the device was in my home under my observation", then the commenter "mcsniff" would have no opportunity to go off on a rant about "ownership" and "control". Or maybe you're going to argue pedantically that it's not "my" home, because I'm a renter? Or would you argue with someone with a mortgage that it's not "your" home, it's the bank's home? That's just pointless pedantry that clarifies nothing and benefits nobody.

> I think that it adds a ton to the conversation to note that using Apple software is a choice. Continuing to use Apple software, even after Apple upload all your passwords to iCloud, is a choice. Not switching to alternatives is a choice.

Everything is a choice. Therefore it's a tautology and adds zero to the conversation. Your comment was a choice. My comment is a choice. Choice choice choice choice. So what?
I’d be shocked if jart didn’t know this, but it seems unlikely that an LLM would generate one of these most vexing parses, unless explicitly asked
This has not been my experience. I’ve seen people rewarded for ‘brilliant ideas’ (though really more like brilliant execution, let’s be honest, ideas are worthless in their own). Now could they have more reward starting their own company? Perhaps. But it’s certainly more risky. In a regular job if your idea doesn’t pan out you haven’t lost much, maybe you get a slightly smaller bonus that year or something.
Has anyone tried something that isn’t based on ELO/trueskill for team-based games?

It feels to me like summing/averaging the ELO of a team to do matchmaking is:

a) just a hack to fit a square peg (team based matchmaking) into a round hole (individual matchmaking)

b) losing a lot of information about how intra-team dynamics would affect the result (as in player A and B play well together, better than their individual ELOs summed; but A and C play poorly together, worse than their individual ELOs summed)
In any case, because the charts are frequently cut & pasted out-of-context they should not include pi-digits and regex-redux data. Now they don't, so thank you.

If you don't think it's appropriate to compare the pi-digits and regex-redux programs, simply ignore them and compare the other 8!
It’s pretty clear Google are building an operating system, not a browser.
As I understand it, they don't own every stock. Right now VTI has about 3700 stocks out of the ~4300 on US publicly traded markets (excluding OTC). But it's more representative than the S&P 500 and similar.
Minor nit:

SPY and VTI are 80-85% the same thing

VT includes a ton of non-US stocks and is significantly different
I don’t have any knowledge of what they’re doing exactly and I’m on mobile but if you’re using ChatGPT and it’s not asking for location permissions, it’s probably getting your very rough location from a GeoIP database, or even more roughly, guessing from the passed language string (I.e: en-US).

I wouldn’t be too concerned. And not to be a jerk, but if this is something that concerns you, stop using their product entirely because they’re probably experimenting with way more invasive things like psychological analysis based on your queries.

And stop using the web at large, because they’re doing much creepier things and sharing it with everyone.

The type of person who cannot draw a line of semantic equivalence between papers and files on a computer, is uniquely devoted to entertaining a level of obtuseness it is hard to seriously entertain. On par with people who think that "Arms" in the second amendment must only apply to muskets, cannons and such, and nothing after.

Tell me. When you put a bunch of papers in a folder, then put them in a cabinet, arguably under some semblance of organization in order to make later retrieval easier, what are you doing?

Filing.

The entire desktop metaphor, (the basis around which most computer UI is based), was chosen in part specifically for it's compatibility with non-digital processes at the time of software and the personal computer's fruition. Files on a disk, are in a literal sense, your papers. They are stored in directories(lists of things and where to find them, a.k.a. folders), areanged under the abstractive auspices of a "file system", and at times "archived" for convenient storage or transport. Gee. Same verbage as what you do with papers... In fact, your papers have nothing to do with dead trees except as an accident of it being the first prevalent medium for persistent info storage. Your papers covers the set of information through which you conduct your business with the outside world.

Those packets of paper are files. Those collections of 0's and 1s on a disk are files. Files are papers. Papers are protected. The involvement of a computer in the chain suddenly nullifying the essence of what point was being made by the Founders is as worthy of ridicule as thinking they went to war with their colonial parent state only because of a tax spiff. Or the civil war being only about slavery. It's evidence of a worldview most tragically impoverished; either by accident (which while regrettable, is at least amenable to remedy), or intention to push a state of affairs; to which one can only shake one's head and push on with their own life, and hope that maybe there are enough like minded individuals out there to counterbalance the individual's in questions aspirations.

Already spent more cycles on this than I should have, good day.
The article says they're not great at differentiating between individuals that look similar. They may be dive-bombing you because someone who looks a bit like you once mistreated them.
So, is this the "neural net" way of using indirection? Like, instead of writing f(t), you now use f(W[t]), where W is some table? And then you use a dot product and write f(W.t) just because you can (or because there's no other way to implement indirection in a neural net)?
Yes, that's the primary point. Write your own wrappers for the subset of functions you need - a small price for the great reward of removing a 50kb dependency.
My boss shared first and was very much clear about it being optional.

People bring a lot of context into these conversations and make a lot of assumptions. There is a lot of nuance here and that's tough to sit with.
ah, like Al-Jazari's water-powered musical automata in 1206, or Athanasius Kircher's marble machine in the 17th century. or (for more modern examples) Raymond Scott's Electronium in 1959, and the Rhythmicon in 1931.

I work at a much larger company than Stripe and I’ve definitely “moved the needle” myself. It’s all about finding high leverage projects to work on.
You're not alone. I search questions and reviews all the time. Rufus is terribly slow and doesn't serve the same function as my specific keyword search I'm looking for.
Browsers have become so nice to work with, that these days, I get away with just the following two lines of code to simplify DOM manipulation:

dqs = document.querySelector.bind(document);
dqsA = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document);

So instead of

country = document.querySelector('#country');
cities = document.querySelectorAll('.city');

I can write

country = dqs('#country');
cities = dqsA('.city');

For everything else, I am fine with just using the native browser functions.

I usually import the two functions from a module like this:

import { dqs, dqsA } from '/lib/js/dqs.js';

This is the module:

> An SM can do 128 simultaneous adds and/or multiplies in a single cycle, where a CPU core can do, what, 2 or maybe 4?

https://images.nvidia.com/aem-dam/Solutions/geforce/news/rtx...

An SM is split into four identical blocks, and I would say each block is roughly equivalent to a CPU core. It has a scheduler, registers, 32 ALUs or FPUs, and some other stuff.

A CPU core with two AVX-512 units can do several integer operations plus 32 single-precision operations (including FMA) per cycle. Not 2 or 4. An older CPU with 2-3 AVX2 units could fall slightly behind, but it's pretty close.

That doesn't factor in the tensor units, but they're less general purpose, and CPUs usually put such things outside the cores.

I would say an SM is roughly equivalent to four CPU cores.
It's an extremely common pitfall for second language learners to swear too casually. You've been yelled at for swearing (or screwing up honorifics) in your own language, but that still hasn't happened to you enough in your second language. It will.

I've tutear'd people in what would be casual settings for Americans and really felt the chill instantly.
creating indexes will lock the tables if not mistaken, the problem about database is that many of us just don't study enough to make sense out of it
No, you can create them if you only have vCenter via its API. No extra infrastructure beyond that, though. The pyVmomi library has example code of how to do it. IIRC it is true that standalone ESXi does not offer the option to create a linked clone by itself, but if I wanted to be a pendant I'd argue that linked clones do exist in ESXi, as that is where vCenter deploys them.

Honest question: are you white?
Assuming you mean that ironically. Unfortunately, the README doesn't reveal where the name comes from, but it is truly absurdly misleading, as if it came from a random generator...
you are provided with an up-close and detailed story of a person under pressure at a high-pressure company, and the ending is not a good ending for the high skill person. Since there is no conclusion drawn "for you" you must do the work of active imagination and decide for yourself, why "so what."

At a minimum, some empathy for the person writing to start with.. being nauseous or in a cold sweat over work situations, interviews, the expectations of a spouse over stable income.. lots of reasons.. This person is being a lot more than ten percent vulnerable in writing this.. they say right away they were torn over writing it in public.

I wouldn’t say people skills “always” trump technical skills. Some projects require strong technical chops such that no amount of people skills will be sufficient. If everyone thought this way we wouldn’t have made so many of the recent major tech advances.

Now given a fixed level of technical skills it’s obviously always better to have more people skills, perhaps that’s what you meant.

Some companies will actually ask you to share your screen and run a bash script they provide to install dependencies live instead of providing a coderpad link.

I don't like those interviews at all. It feels invasive if you aren't prepared with a VM already, and then you have to worry about undoing whatever their script did afterward.
Posing a problem is not a story or a point.

All this is the posing of a problem, or the reciting of a sequence of mere events.

"I tried to go to work today, but there was too much snow in the driveway."
Honestly, when I see the young generation in US, it seems it’s kind of a given than young males must bulk up, under penalty of not being instagrammable enough to find a girlfriend. That sentence may sound terribly superficial…

but it’s a reality for a lot of young men.

Long story short, bulking up is at odds with ecology, and we ask youngsters to do both.
Hey Jon,

Kudos for having courage to write it up. Enjoyed my time with you at Stripe.

Large company cog syndrome is very real. Especially when performance reviews are not tied to reality but someone’s inner monologue that you have no access to.

Take care. Time heals most wounds. Oregon is a beautiful place.
"Goodbye iPhone 16"?

The iPhone will be able to use Starlink DTC just as well. The whole idea of it is that it works with any phone by using regular channels also used for terrestrial networks.

Perhaps they mean the sat texting and emergency features on the iPhone but that's still nice to have as a backup IMO.

I think this is all pretty clickbaity.
Many companies have parallel IC tracks. And even though higher level ICs do need to “herd” more you’re still doing a fair amount of technical work (maybe at least until director equivalent).

Nah, "con" must have been a very bad word a few hundred years ago. The French people I grew up with used it like it was nothing. Much like "merde". Doesn't mean that you should be saying it willy nilly. I'm sure if you call a stranger a "con" they won't take it well -- you need some familiarity to do that.

"Espèce de con" ("some kind of cunt") is for when you mean it a bit more.
I don’t know - there are a couple of companies that are a red flag on a resume.

Some companies get results, and some specialize in Powerpoint and politics. It all comes down to the managers in charge.

Would you hire a VP/manager that spent too much time at IBM or similar? How long can you work there without getting infected?
I'm sure that it varies from state to state, but Purdue openly and explicitly capped the number of in-state students in order to support a tuition freeze.
Of course Att et al oppose this. It “interferes” with their business by offering an alternative.
> SpaceX has been sending emergency SMS messages to hurricane victims “as much as possible,” as they still need to launch more satellites to improve coverage.

> However, not everyone agrees: companies such as AT&T and Verizon have been pressuring the FCC to reject this request, worried that Starlink’s signal would interfere with their networks. The FCC’s decision could define the course of satellite connectivity in the coming years.

So it sounds like Tesla satellites are blasting traditional cellular signals from space just high powered enough to reach the ground. I can understand that there could be some concerns since their current test is piggybacking on bands licensed to TMobile with their cooperation but wondering how this will be managed to roll things out more broadly because if it’s with cooperation with TMobile as their partner then they have access to a dedicated band that is TMobile’s to do with as they want in theory. Clearly a delaying tactic by competitors playing catchup.

> Goodbye iPhone 16 – this is the new Starlink satellite phone that will have coverage where no other will go – here’s the release date

Given that direct to cell is compatible with all existing cellular phones, I’m confused by the title.
A. You're assuming they are largely the same people by extrapolating from your observations. It's impossible to actually know.

B. Your two examples provide different things. This is like saying it's OK to include any old multi-megabyte dependency if a site loads a couple mb worth of images. There's no reason to stop considering the size of the small parts just because you decided you need some large parts. Things add up - that will never stop being a useful thing to remember, in any context.
This post discusses the introduction of a new patching feature (one-button patching) in the AutoUpgrade tool, now at version 24.7, which simplifies the database release update process. Although currently, it only supports single-instance homes and Oracle Database 19c on Linux, the Oracle Database Upgrade Team will be addressing additional requirements in future versions. Since automating patching is essential for large environments to ensure updates and compliance, I have provided a comprehensive set of Ansible playbooks for database patching(19.24) on my GitHub repo, which can help promote efficiency and reduce errors in the patching process.
I agree completely. I’ve had periods where I just slacked off and I was miserable, leading to a negative feedback loop. The only way to break out was ironically to actually work more, which led to more enjoyment of it. Cognitive dissonance is powerful.
I like the small QoL features it has accrued over the years, like renaming new autosaved tabs! It helps me stay organized when I create many unsaved documents to store separate info for a few days.

Any sane text editor won't let you rename a new document until you save it, but it is useful for some use cases.
Pigeons do that too (stick theft). Sticks are a valuable resource, though some are evidently worth more than others. Bird brains are probably tuned for rapid stick assessment.

If you're in Kansas City, you might check out the Hokusai exhibit in the Nelson-Atkins (which runs until Jan 5th). I particularly enjoyed some prints from Hokusai's daughters they of women at work (as fishermen, farmers, geisha).

There were also some learning materials created by Hokusai, like diagrams explaining methods to make characters seem balanced, or stock art gridded for transfer. It was an interesting peek being the curtain.
Good luck convincing anyone of that without being called a crackpot, a disinformation bot, or worse. At this point in my life, I keep such knowledge to myself and leave everyone else to the peril of their own incomplete understanding.
Thank you for the kind words!

Show HN: Tool to Calculate Your Remaining Natural Cycles by Age and Location
Hi HN!

I was looking for a way to connect more with nature’s rhythms, so I put together a tool that calculates how many natural cycles – like seasons, full moons, and sunsets – you have left to experience, based on your age and location. The idea is to offer a unique perspective on time and life’s journey.

It only took me about 6 hours to build, using Next.js and hosted on Vercel. I wanted to keep it simple and intuitive, with a focus on a minimalist interface.

If you’re curious about how much of these natural moments you still have ahead, feel free to check it out here: https://natural-lifecyles.vercel.app

Would love to hear your thoughts or any ideas for improvement!

This is the entirety of the post's description of the interviewer and the interview itself:

> He introduced himself and we settled into the usual ritual of a phone screen. ... He gave me a coderpad link. ... It presented a simple data structure and asked me to do some filtering based on a set of constraints. ... He kindly ended the interview and asked if I had any questions.

Everything else is about the author struggling and being anxious. Where do you get "stereotypical brogrammer hazing"?
