> I think the key reason that space-based research tends to be so technologically fruitful is that it imposes a discipline on the science done, through the constraints that space imposes on meeting ambitious mission objectives.

The enormous budget and the elite scientific and engineering talent also may help. On Earth, those resources don't usually go toward finding a new way to weld things.
Oh, come on.

You just know someone's gonna make an Amiga one.

And a whole bunch of aging German and Scandinavian hackers are gonna come out and try to convince people, no seriously, this is a great daily driver, you just have to go to Aminet and get the right RTG driver pack for the display panel and...

Also, and speaking from experience after having a professional bike fit, a "saddle issue" often is not directly related to the saddle itself.
You might be placed too forward and slipping just ever so slightly on the saddle, so you're sitting on the "rod", instead of the back part of the saddle; the saddle might be too high or too low, etc.
Can't wait they also get rid of these "destination fees" billed by nearly all hotels in NYC.
I have been using Orbstack quite for some time now. I didn't know that now one needs to pay for Orbstack usage. Licensing is done on a per-user basis, with up to 5 devices per user (as long as all the devices are owned or primarily operated by the same user).
Yeah based on that video, it'd be easy to edit the onion address and send them to a honey pot...

Fear getting disappeared/jailed for doing something forbidden. You're right that they may not see it as "fear of the party" from inside. More like "why would I do something illegal". But in a system like that those things are actually equivalent.

Also Im surprised you even got a usable answer from your first question asking for a socket program if all you asked was the bold part. I'm a human (pretty sure at least) and had no idea how to answer the first bold question.
> The one thing that's true for China is that their government has far fewer qualms about hacking Western infrastructure to get dirt on dissidents, steal IP, and so on. But that's a matter of ethics and law, not tech.

As opposed to the DoD, which strictly fights for freedom, liberty, and democracy?
JPL employees work for Caltech (which is awarded government contracts to build and operate space probes) so maybe a better analogy is a job at a traditional aerospace company like Boeing or Northrop Grumman. When the contracts can’t cover payroll, they have to lay people off.
I know nothing about welding, what is the distinction?

I clicked on that Wiki link and it said cold welding is "welding process", and the hyperlink to the regular welding page includes solid-state welding, which mentions cold welding.
I always thought that the "rubber" was a missed opportunity.
I have pondered adding 4 microphones to the corners of my house. I suspect with some processing and filtering you could likely tell quite a bit about the house. When the front door or garage opens, what rooms are occupied, when it's raining or windy, what appliances are on, when someone parks in the driveway, when the mail comes, duty cycle of the fridge and furnace, when it's sunny out (expansion noises on the sunny side), when someone is showering (and which shower), when toilets are used, etc. Certainly should be able to detect when a window is broken or a door forced.

I don't even know why they bother with that kind of research. It's obvious that Trump can just lie and all his supporters believe it because they have a propaganda arm that's perceived as "news". The Trump believers all think that "MSM" is lying to them but for some reason they think that Fox and NewsMax and Alex Jones aren't (when the exact opposite is true).

It's like the whole hush money thing. Turns out it just doesn't matter, they should have let Stormy Daniels say whatever she wants because Trump just has to go on stage and make stuff up and then Hannity will repeat it and it becomes right-wing canon.

Probably easier to implement in the NES case too: toggling the screen background color rapidly was a common trick used by NES developers to represent large explosions and the like. That would be easy to sniff for and blur out with few detrimental effects.

Doing the same with today's visually intense games, like Rez and Tetris Effect, would be more difficult. The potentially harmful visual effects are more subtle than simply rapidly flashing the entire screen background, would require heavy processing to scan for, and if you filtered them you risk compromising the visuals that some people purchased the game for.

Best to just warn them so photosensitive people know what they're getting into.

I think we'll start to see a differentiation soon. The likes of Ilya will raise money to do whatever, including foundation models / new arch, while other startups will focus on post-training, scaling inference, domain adaptation and so on.

I don't think the idea of general foundational model from scratch is a good path for startups anymore. We're already seeing specialised verticals (cursor, codeium, both at ~100-200m funding rounds) and they're both focused on specific domains, not generalist. There's probably enough "foundation" models out there to start working on post-training stuff already, no need to reinvent the wheel.
Fingers crossed they are able to do some damage to Google. A terrible company filled with awful people.

Since I see name and shame threads ...

Years and years ago I went for an interview at Computer Associates, who were still doing accounting software at the time.

They gave me a test with idiotic questions about C, where the examples obviously had undefined behavior. Like what is the output of code that takes the address of a variable of type short, next to another such a variable, and then casts it to a long * pointer and retrieves the value.

I had a printed copy of ISO C in my briefcase and showed them chapter and verse how that is undefined behavior. I was told I'm not "doing very well here".

No hire!

They just wanted people to know what the Microsoft Visual C compiler (or whatever they they were using) does with various undefined behavior, because they have such stuff in their codebase. I could have guessed "right" on most of it, but homie don't play dat.
> I've always fantasized about having $10M discretionary money (haven't done the math, really, just a random figure) and opening a "Arts and Sciences Academy", which would be a high school where Arts trivium (music, literature, sculpture) would be studied on equal footing and intertwined with Sciences trivium (math, physics, biology) - I know an eclectic mix.

I don't think that is eclectic at all. It ought to be that way. I attended the Louisiana School for Math, Science and Arts [0] during high school and it left an indelible mark upon me. I was kicked out of my abusive childhood home at 15 after refusing to confirm the Catholic faith, and so I applied for LSMSA and got in after a few rounds of interviews with the administration.

The school is publicly funded and does not charge a tuition, and so I felt extremely blessed to be able to continue my education despite my circumstances. Most of the teaching faculty had PhDs except for the math department, who mostly had masters degrees (plenty good enough for high school mathematics).

It was very self-directed study. The courses I took included C programming, poetry, world history, chemistry, digital design, trigonometry, Russian, etc. My days were highly varied and stimulating and I loved most of the classes. The high school is a boarding school embedded within a college campus, so there was plenty access to the arts infrastructure and collegiate arts projects. Being surrounded 24/7 by interesting people was the icing on the cake. A lot of people decried the prevalent drug use and sexual promiscuity among the student body, but it's fucking high school man. I hear it was a wild time there in the 80's and 90's. I was introduced to psychedelic drugs there, which only aided in my understanding of the world and increased my love for learning. We need more institutions like this.

> I'm not seeing any reason this is worse in Japanese than Chinese.

A priori yes, the fact there's a collision between Japanese and Chinese only tells you one of them is going to win and get the normal experience and the other is going to lose and have Unicode uniquely suck for them - history could conceivably have flipped which was which. Another reply suggests that China had laws requiring products sold there to display Chinese correctly whereas Japan did not, which could be the kind of thing that tips the default/standard.
The feature only works when hearing loss is mild (26–40 dBHL) or moderate (41–60 dBHL). We had to repeat the test a few times to get it in the range and enable it.

Ah, non-transparent middlebox trouble.
I never said companies should be allowed to abandon hardware only 2 weeks after selling it; that's ridiculous. Of course, they should be required to properly service it for the duration of the warranty period (which I think is 2 years in the EU, and seems like a good number that should be the minimum standard everywhere).
I'm mostly with you in general. Especially for the amount we pay in taxes, we really ought to have better protections for vulnerable people.

For me in particular, if I were fired a year into every job and had to be unemployed for ten, counting all the health insurance bullshit and whatnot you have in this country when you're unemployed, I'd still be better off financially than in any EU tech job I've found. HN isn't exactly a representative sample of the sort of people who benefit from EU labour protections.
Plastic pollution is very well established as killing marine animals and birds. Obviously as you stated abandoned fishing line and nets - which are plastic - trap and entangle many larger animals. Fishing gear is the biggest source of plastic pollution away from the shoreline.

But plastics are also ingested by animals - both filter feeders that just don’t discriminate their food and predators that mistake the colours for that of prey. Plastics do not break down in digestive systems, instead plastics can leech toxins, displace nutritional intake causing starvation, cause internal bleeding, or in some cases tangles up inside and forms a blockage leading to sepsis and death.

This library supports building with C++11. I haven't tried compiling it with an older standard, but I imagine it might work. One thing I like about the C++11 compilers like GCC 4.9 is they build code magnificently faster than recent editions. See https://x.com/JustineTunney/status/1795427808631758936
While I understand the sentiment, this makes bare installations too hard.

A big project not handling HTTPS themselves (like docmost), adds tons of complexity on the server side. Now, I have to install that service as a container to isolate that, then need to add a reverse proxy on top, etc.

That leads to resource inflation when I just want to use a small VM for that single task. Now, instead I deploy a whole infrastructure to run that small thing.

Over 50 seeker here (25+ years experience, first IC then mgmt). All of hiring managers I've dealt with this time around are at least 10 years my junior, and they disagree with you.

Number of new housing units built in 2023: 1.36M

Net change in the amount of known immigrants who live in the US in 2023: 1.6M

% of immigrant workers in construction, natural resources, and maintenance industries in 2023: 14%

If we can generously attribute that 14% of the new housing supply is because of the immigrant labor force, then that’s 190k housing units attributable, to house an increased population of 1.6M.
The article says it's "without parallel", quoting the lead archaeologist.
If you just did a FFT on microphone and acceleration for every link in a subway system and recorded the past travel times. Seems pretty straight forward to estimate your speed vs the historical records and then predict your arrival time.

So focus on speed not acceleration.
Cold welding is unintentional, spontaneous joining of two metal parts in vacuum. You don't want that to happen, especially if the parts are meant to move.

Normal welding is intentional application of heat to partially melt two parts at the seam, so that they "mix" in semi-liquid state and become one part when they solidify. Welding may or may not use a third material (solder) to aid the process.
I sure hope it does, I'm typing this post with it right now.
I very much want wfh to be more effective, but in terms of relationship building, particularly with new people, there's no context. I think there's quite a bit of signal lost when you have something other than personal communication.

With that said, a little goes a long way IMO. Once you've got those relationships defined further in-person comms is mostly just bullshitting IMO.

Thompson Pike encoding. It predates the UTF-8 standard and was invented on a napkin in a New Jersey diner. It allows the full spectrum of 32-bit numbers to be encoded, rather than restricting characters to only those also present in UTF-16. The json.cpp library enforces UTF-8 restrictions on parsing, because we have no choice. But you're allowed to serialize anything you want, thanks to the ThomPike macros.
Nice! I added this to the catalogue https://github.com/billmei/every-chatgpt-gui
Note that this is a business-focused pre-release from DeepComputing, not the pricing for general developers at release of the Mainboard.
>Cold welding is unintentional, spontaneous joining of two metal parts in vacuum.

Is the only distinction the intention, though?

Because I saw some examples of industrial applications of cold welding, so I'm still not quite getting why cold welding isn't considered welding (I have been googling since my original comment, but not finding anyone making this same distinction).
It's just too slow. Edge is fine on W11 but knowing that there is an alternative would be nice
I didn't realize Keras was actually released before Tensorflow, huh. I used Theano quite a bit in 2014 and early 2015, but then went a couple years without any ML work. Compared to the modern libraries Theano is clunky, but it taught one a bit more about the models, heh.
I dunno, I still find the Russia-Ukraine war to be the biggest disappointment. Not just because it is a war, but also because it is a war between essentially identical cultures, both highly educated too.

For some reason, this mention of Starship's "We Built This City" led me down a hole of Internet research on my own personal Mandala Effect rabbit hole. I remembered as a kid, the Residents - who I only knew at the time as a bunch of guys wearing eyeballs as their heads - being part of the video for "We Built This City". I later became a fan of the Residents, who hadn't mentioned this at all. No evidence of them appearing with Starship, including the video for "We Built this City". But I hadn't been able to shake this vision for decades. Did I imagine it?

Tonight, digging deeper, I found it! I found the source. In 1984, just a year before "We Built this City", Jefferson Starship (the progenitor of Starship, we won't mention the Airplane here) released a video for their ostensible hit single "Layin' it on the Line".

There they were! The Residents! In a terrible, terrible Jefferson Starship video! Sung by Grace Slick and, uh, that dude from Starship!

Strangely, I'll be able to sleep deeply tonight knowing that this mystery that was knawing at my soul for so many years has finally been solved.
Starbucks Complete Training Manual (2013)
If the "message passing" implementation blows the stack when something sends a message to itself, then you know that they are calling function calls "message passing".

Bona fide message passing is asynchronous. A message is sent and the send operation immediately returns, without blocking for a reply.

Nothing else should be called "message passing".
> One workaround is to split the expense posting into several expense postings, each with its own date.

Can a rule expeess such calculated fields like "set virtual date at 3 month before transaction date"?

> A more strictly correct one is to add transactions and accounts like in evrimoztamur's answer.

That's good for forecasting, but I don't see how to write automatic rules that ensure the accrued amount = billed amount.
We older people have less mobility and less willing to take risk because if the bet doesn't pay off there's not much time to make up for it (younger folks can go back to be an FTE or start another thing). Also, people have kids later in life and you have to pay their insane college bills when you're in your 50s or even 60s.

If you see more older people starting companies it's because we can't find employment and have to find a way to be productive somehow...

I'm generally positive about BlueSky and pleased for their current successes.

But I fell like the really hard part is yet to come, and being open might make that part harder.

All online communities go through the same phases (or die along the way).

In the beginning it's populated by enthusiasts, tech adopters, people with good intentions. The problems are mostly technical and infrastructure.

Then it grows rapidly with mostly the same parameters.

Then it gets big enough so the trolls, spammers, bots, misogynist, racists, marketers, advertisers et al arrive. At this point the problems become social - moderation etc.

Failure to manage this stage well leads to, well, Twitter.

And it's by far the hardest part of the whole process. I hope BlueSky get this part right.
> all security is just obscurity, eventually, where you are obscuring your private key's semi-prime's factors.

This is a lazy take that obscures the definition to uselessness. It’s perpetuated by people who make insecure systems that break when the algorithm is known.

There is a vast gulf between:

- security depends on secret algorithm

- security depends on keeping a personal asymmetric key secret

The latter is trivial to change, it doesn’t compromise the security of others using the scheme, and if it has perfect forward secrecy it doesn’t even compromise past messages.

Please don’t repeat that mantra. You’re doing a disservice to anyone who reads it and ultimately yourself.
