Apparently, it was created by Rick Lenssen [1], who works at the Development & Engineering department of ASML. It seems more likely that he used existing bricks, instead of molding new ones.

The tube is great (less so when they're striking or there's snow or it's rush hour).

But London is a singularly great place for tube tunnels and other mass transit:

- birthplace of the industrial revolution

- had a ton of infrastructure development during the 1800s when safety was no concern and development could be done cheap and fast

- high density

- lots of engineers and other skilled people to make it work

- tons, tons of money and support from a big government in a high-tax society

- focal point of a global empire for a long time, which fed all the above even more

- a nice layer of softer rock underneath the city perfect for tunnelling

We should build mass transit in places like this where it makes sense. But for 99% of the rest of Earth's populated surface, it won't.
No, but I can sell it on leboncoin, and will have the cash to afford a gazillion used ones, which will all drive me around half the country on one (stupidly expensive and harmful to the environment) refill.
I think the point is that if you live in an American city with a professional sports team, you’re living in an area that offers way more than just a sports team; there are many things of note to do within a 20mi radius.

People who choose to live, say 250mi from the nearest major professional sports team are going to have a ton less job opportunity, things of note to do, but will generally have a lot less to pay because no one else wants to live there.

> Why protocol buffers ?

They are very good for defining API boundaries, in vince we only use them for configuration and admin structure. We use Roaring Bitmap based storage, so fundamental units persisted are Bitmap containers.

> Also why are you using pebble exactly?

Well, vince is write heavy and any LSM based key value store would have been nice. It happens pebble is the best option for us.

Also, we don't use transactions (We batch writes and use snapshots for reads). Combining with the fact we rely on pebble batch Merge api.

The merge api allows us to do efficient updates. Since we only store bitmap containers, when doing update we just do a container union of observed values of a key.

Bitmap unions are pretty fast and efficient.

I hope I covered all your questions.
"Complete abstinence has a philosophical purity but humans weren't meant to live like monks."

They were rather meant to hunt for black friday deals and dive into consumerism?

I'd say, I don't know and suspect no one knows how we are meant to live. We can just find out and decide ourself.

(I've met monks who were way more content, than your average consumer, but it is not my way of living either)
> Romania was basically under German occupation through most of WWII.

that's not correct. Romania was an independent country, with a king, government, etc. Romania was allied to Germany, and there was a German presence, but the Germans did not exercise any power. In fact, there was a "palace coup" that switch alliances in 1944.
Im a rube but it my knee jerk reading tfa is there has to be some correction or young people are financially and domestically doomed. The solutions you listed here seem great. Is there momentum behind establishing these in the US?

Is it more likely the trend continues and young people will simply become priced out, or is a correction more likely? If the latter, what are smart people expecting?

I wonder if it’s a tracking off switch or a panic button? I used to work for a fleet tracking SaaS, and some customers with unionised workforces needed a way to disable tracking, and panic buttons were common too (although less so in Europe).

> “can I get free data from the SIM card embedded in the device that I now technically own?”

That seems like the next-most-interesting question now that you've determined what the device is. Possibly followed closely by "can I use that free-to-me data in a fun way that might teach the people who installed the SIM to deactivate their devices when they sell them?"

i.e. Could you send and receive enough on the connection using that SIM to cost them enough money that they'd notice it?
> Log users out frequently for "security reasons".

This is exactly what happens on a contract I work on. Any software that is authenticated through our OKTA SSO very frequently signs users out and redirects to a logout page. This is especially annoying when using the project management software, where you typically have many tabs open to see various requirements, epics, stories, tasks, etc. Any inactivity more than 15 minutes, and all the tabs are logged out. Just like that, everything is gone. It forces us to use strategies such as saving redundant copies of things in notes and spreadsheets. I don’t think it’s necessarily sabotage but it feels extremely negligent. Moreover it’s completely unnecessary since everything is behind a VPN anyway.

Another similar thing that does feel as if it’s somewhat malicious is the very aggressive logout and shutdown policy of our virtual desktops - these are the desktops we do everyday active development on and where we set up IDEs, database clients, web servers, testing tools, API references - anything you can think of. We use this in combination with our regular desktops where we attend meetings or do other non-development tasks such as using the above-mentioned requirements software. It takes a lot of time to set all of this up! If you’re inactive for more than 2 hours, your session is not only closed, it’s completely destroyed so that it can be reclaimed for another user. I don’t need to explain to experienced developers how incredibly frustrating and counterproductive this is, but leadership has been extremely dismissive of any complaints, and tell us that we should use our time more wisely or that we shouldn’t be inactive for so long (which is complete BS, there are a thousand valid reasons foe this). Apparently this is done for cost-cutting reasons, but something feels more nefarious here, because this very obviously leads to reduced productivity and demotivation. This has actually lead to me purposefully overestimating complexity and demanding a user story for every single little trivial action I take, whereas before I used to just go in and make quick fixes or knock out certain operational things in my spare time. It’s a waste of time for us and ends up being worse for our customers.
I believe a patient currently & their family members are required to state what kind of care a person should have if things go wrong before a surgery.

Why could the law not just continue this by adding an additional option that states when you would want assisted suicide? I would think lawmakers could specify that insurance or doctors are not allowed to make this decision or let it effect their services.

Neat to see more folks writing blogs on their experiences. This however does seem like it's an over-complicated method of building llama.cpp.

Assuming you want to do this iteratively (at least for the first time) should only need to run:

ccmake .

And toggle the parameters your hardware supports or that you want (e.g. if CUDA if you're using Nvidia, Metal if you're using Apple etc..), and press 'c' (configure) then 'g' (generate), then:

cmake --build . -j $(expr $(nproc) / 2)

Done.

If you want to move the binaries into your PATH, you could then optionally run cmake install.

But it wouldn’t necessarily be 17kib vs 19kib then. It would be reasonable to assume that larger context would be paired with more stack usage so it’s 17kib vs 21 or 25kib and that’s 20-40% more memory being required for Go. That can be quite substantial as 1M concurrent clients represents a case where that memory starts becoming quite a premium.

In Canada they have proposed assisted dying for young people suffering from depression. What better way to harvest organs and save money than by making unproductive young people want to die?

If this was seriously restricted to people facing severe debilitating injuries or pain I might be more in favor. But you know it won't stop there.

Three-quarters of respondents (75%) said that they would support making it lawful for someone to seek assisted dying in the UK, with just 14% against

Support for changing the law consistently high regardless of voters’ political affiliation

Two-thirds (66%) of respondents with faith support law change, including 69% of Christians
You have to follow the provenance.

If I own Queen’s Greatest Hits on CD, I can rip that, encode it to MP3/AAC/FLAC/whatever, copy it between my laptop/desktop/phone. That’s fine.

If you also own Queen’s Greatest Hits on CD, then… I cannot give you any of those files, because they have ultimately come from my CD, not from your CD. Even though the bits are identical. The provenance matters. You have the right to use the copies from your CD. You do not have the right to use the copies from my CD, even though the bits are the same.

> Things are much safer now than in the past.

I wonder, should arguments like this be used to justify the issue? With technological advancements things should become better (i.e. safer in this case) without raising inflation-adjusted costs. Wouldn't it be very similar to saying that processors should have become more expensive because they became faster or hard drives because they have larger capacity? Additional costs built into the new codes should decrease over time as builders become more efficient at implementing them or technological advancements allow them to become more efficient.
The switch is probably for tax reasons, to record whether you’re making a business vs personal trip. Personal trips go towards the 500 km allowance before the car is seen as indirect salary and should be taxed as such. Setting it to personal might also disable the tracking for privacy reasons.
Indeed. Growing up in the 80s -- in a fairly middle class family -- a lot of my friends had bunk beds.

Maybe someone who has read the paper can confirm, but I think correlating optimism with a longer reward period is only meaningful if there is a comparative analysis which looks at what level of optimism presents in rats which wait longer for a reward and do not get it. Moreover, what level of optimism presents in rats which have a mixed reward system, i.e., sometimes getting a reward for waiting longer and sometimes not getting it.

I find that cognitive scientists often neglect these basic permutations, and present more intuitive results which are easier to accept because of any number of human biases, but may ultimately be an incomplete presentation of reality. I suspect that optimism traits and reward wait period are uncorrelated, and optimism in rats at least depends on some neurochemical factor.
All true, but monopoly profits sure help.

All of that makes sense. I guess if I were in that situation I would make a video explaining what I was going to do, then another one showing me setting it all up, send that to my attorney and local law enforcement chief since they are slow to read emails and then park myself outside the mortuary with a letter and copy of the video pinned to my clothes and a final video of me doing the deed to remove any ambiguity. Oh, and a receipt for all the gear.
Hundreds of years of developing a global market economy where every participant is ever-more interconnected and unable to sustain themselves just based on their own group, families and wider community, culminating in the ultimate ideological reverse: blaming the leaf node participants for the economy that they are subject to. Not a contradiction but a demonstration of the fact that the leaf nodes are not the powerful entities in the system; the true powers that be are capable of the bizarre feat of blaming Joe Average for ruining the world.

Any Call To Action that can be circumvented by buying all you need for the week on Tuesday so that you can By Nothing On Friday is just part of that ideological problem.

I know it’s a different language, but I don’t think Java is significantly harder to parse than Pascal, bytecode doesn’t have to be heavily optimised (it gets heavily morphed at runtime) and computers are a lot faster than in the 1990s.

Also, recently (2020) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24735366 said: “Delphi 2 can compile large .pas files at 1.2M lines per second.”

Or am I mistaken in the idea that Java isn’t hard to parse? If so, why is it hard to parse? Annotations? Larger programs with lots of dependencies?
The system will not change because the folks in charge profit and maintain power from a system of accelerated financialization. They then wring their hands and clutch their pearls as young people take rational actions by not having children (rapid fertility rate decline), worried what happens to the pyramid scheme as it runs out of steam. Their crisis is the young cohort's survival mechanism.

Young people have to do their best to survive in an unfavorable macro for the life they have left, and old folks age out eventually (which is the only way they give up power, the power which is needed to make change to improve the macro).

javac does produce machine code. You just don't like the machine.
At first glance this reminded me of some Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor models which had similar unlabeled buttons. One would disable all exterior lights, including brake lights, for going into stealth/surveillance mode. An adjacent button was used to be able to remove the key and keep the engine running, while preventing the car from being shifted out of park until the key was inserted again. I haven't seen either feature re-introduced in the newer Explorers or Fusions though.

One thing that I don’t get about this is the suggestion that degree attainment is about skill building. I have a masters degree, and my degree was almost entirely knowledge attainment, not skill building. Nothing about that degree was designed to raise my reading skill, it was designed to provide a base level of knowledge that could be built upon in practice.

I dunno, I do occasionally have this fantasy that I’d gone to some advanced prep school where they really did some education to me. But I’m sort of fundamentally anti-authoritarian, so I can’t imagine I would have gotten anything out of it. Can we really teach reading skills above and beyond what someone is inclined to teach themselves? Are there proven methods?
Yes most people are against war too yet you don't see people voting their way out of that now do you?

If assisted dying is on the table, it won't be long before prescribed dying is too. I am not as hopeful as you that normal political processes will prevent that, but one can dream.
Oh that makes total sense! Thanks for explaining

People don’t have the right to simply live in highly desirable areas for very cheap.

It is time for people to accept that if they want affordable housing they should look at some lesser developed areas in the country. Otherwise it’s pay to play.
It's not like bots aren't already bypassing these CAPTCHAs. One author writing a blog post about how they accomplished what spammers and bots have been doing for ages isn't going to change anything.

I dislike these proposals because they always eventually encourage the erosion of help for people who very much want to live. I don't think the end of life is very dignified, but I don't trust the government to ever decide to spend money helping people in pain reduce their pain, instead of shrugging and saying, "Well, you can choose to die" We're seeing this in Canada and it was utterly predictable

It would also be interesting to see the numbers relative to mortgage rates and availability. It looks like the 1950's had mortgages starting around the 5% range, but that steadily increase to a peak of near 20% in the 80's before dropping through the 90's and bottoming out around 2.5% in 2021. Along with that I imagine qualifying / getting a mortgage in 1950's was more difficult than modern times with 0% down first time home buyer loans.

Transpilers are a subset of compilers, even if somewhat often "compiler" is used to refer to the ones producing executables.

And .exe-s still need the OS, dynamic libraries, and, perhaps most importantly, the CPU (which is pretty much a VM interpreter, modern CPUs having what's essentially a custom IR, peephole optimizations, aliasing analysis, JITting, loop unrolling, PGO, caching, ...), to run.
The government does not have to - like I said this is just a marketing campaign. What is to stop the introduction of "lower cost" insurance tiers if you opt in to a "limited care" plan that would allow you to be terminated instead of treated if the treatment cost is above a threshold value? What happens when people are convinced that seeking care = being selfish, or when the elderly are seen entirely as burdens on society even if they are not sick but using social welfare programs? If you think this is crazy talk I honestly don't believe you are aware of the evils well-intentioned people are capable of committing.
They can, but it’s far less likely to be incorrect on the capture side. They are just moving bytes, not really doing anything with structured data.

Parsing the pcaps is much more prone to bugs than capturing and storing, but that’s easier to verify with deserialize/serialize equality checks.

Signals aren't a nightmare it's just that fflush() isn't defined by POSIX as being asynchronous signal safe. You could change all your stdio functions to block signals while running, but then you'd be adding like two system calls to every fputc() call. Smart thing to do would probably be creating a thread with a for (;;) { usleep(10000); fflush(stdout); } loop.
