My favorite thing on the internet is when people confidently state what other people's opinions are and are wrong.

FWIW, Mao had some good ideas, and some crazy ones. Like most historical figures, really, but even then I wouldn't take being called a Maoist an insult. That said, no proper leftist of any stripe would call Ireland a colonizer nation. They may have attempted it, but the subsequent ratfucking on the part of Great Britain ever since then and their continued existence inside the geopolitical abusive relationship that is the United Kingdom brings them far closer, ethically, to the Congo than to Britain. Lest we forget fun times like the Great Famine, or as the Irish call it, "that time Britain took all the fucking food." Or, more accurately the landlords did, the handling of which is one of Mao's better ideas.
Is this tongue-in-cheek? It seems like it is, but I can't tell for sure. Disliking LLMs for coding because they're too helpful is an amusing concept either way.
That's still cherrypicking what you think is important and putting it in the title. Lists of benchmark results (with or without made-up titles) in general don't make good HN posts. You can use the search feature to find lots of M-related threads that can probably answer your specific question, though
>but there is indeed a discontinuity in your consciousness when you sleep. This discontinuity cannot be distinguished from the discontinuity arising from a copy of your brain on first "restart".

That amounts to saying "every consciousness discontinuity is of the same level".

I.e. that waking from sleep has the same distance from "you" before sleeping, as would a replica of you created by scanning your brain and uploading it to it.

Let's put it this way: if we can co-exist, it's not me.
I'm sure your point is great and all, but with Europe having about 50 countries, most of them can not be in the top five for a given subject no matter what.
On the other hand, people can't possibly talk to each other if they are always in a meeting.
You are just describing a regular startup, that’s not a pump & dump which makes it sound like a scam.
In this case, an entire channel was shut down (with no opportunity for appeal) on account of a single instance of someone zoom-bombing a live stream with pornography. Presumably the decision was entirely automated and there was no human in the loop.

It doesn't matter how many users you have. This "solution" seems like swatting a fly with a nuclear weapon. Why not just take down the offending video until the user takes corrective action? YouTube can clearly identify the offending video out of the non-offending ones, so that's not a technical problem. And it can be done entirely with automation, so it wouldn't need humans. Further, they obviously can tell that the user does not have a history or track record of this kind of activity. Why do these tech companies always go straight to the "no recourse ban hammer"?
I think software compatibility and power supply are two major issues. Non-x86 boards generally only run manufacturer supplied outdated Kernel, and x86 units are often only compatible with included AC supply.

Devices that solves both of those problems tend not to be price competitive with Pi, and many ends up paying for a Pi.
Wouldn't be HN if there wasn't some jerk flexing.
Those who do nothing tend to die early/young. Those who get a hobby of some sort tend to live a normal lifespan.

Interesting , I was rather interested in seeing something like golang which can compile to bytecode in something like java or the compiler because so many times I have heard that golang is slower because of AOT and what not when I see some comparisons b/w golang and java , and all I thought was well , why not add this feature.

I am not sure but this seems rather interesting. But doesn't this technically just implement a flavour of lisp.

I am not sure but a technical way to do this as well could be to use something like fennel which can convert to lua and a lua vm written in golang as a poor man's lisp in go
How is it any different from ordinary parallel compilation? Make will happily use dozens of CPU cores for compilation, even if linking and other operations must be synchronous.

Even if a GPU core is slower than a CPU core, you have vastly more of them. If you have a project with more TUs than you have CPU cores, I don't see how it couldn't be faster.

Hell, you can even trivially compile on different remote machines with distcc. If that's faster, how could a GPU be worse?
Hey man! Appreciate everything you are doing, it's so nice seeing people helping people in need.

I got myself into some trouble. Don't wanna keep it long. My brother had a legal case against a lawyer that ripped him off. This case not only took all the cash we had saved, but also put me in debt around 30k$. I live alone with my grandma to take care of her, seperated from my brother. Now, I'm struggling to even buy food for my grandma and I (and our animals, we have 2 dogs and 4 cats). I also can't afford my medication which I unfortunately depend on (severe depression episodes and generalized anxiety disorder). (if wanted I can provide proof and bills for anything, but they'll be in my native language)
I don't wanna request any amount, anything you could spare would be highly appreciated.
Thank you and best holidays to you and everyone here!

>but numbers are surprisingly bad in the US, Sweden, and in England

Kids in rich countries have their brain fried from watching Cocomelon, Youtube Kids and Tiktok. They've been spawn-camped by ad-tech. Gotta get them when they're young.
At risk of self-fulfilling a joke, I don't know exactly what you mean here.

The level of education UNESCO is talking about is not enormously challenging: "Minimum reading proficiency for the end of lower-secondary education means students can connect main ideas across different text types, understand the author’s intentions, and draw conclusions based on the text."

So yes, I think that is a reasonable objective for 12-15 year olds that should be available to everyone by virtue of proper education alone.

Indeed it is very difficult to give a 12-15 year old a proper education if they cannot do this. It's foundational. So one would almost expect any 12-15 year old who can be taught _anything abstract_ at an appropriate level to be able to do this.

The alarming thing about the data shown here is that it includes children who are not even in education, which would skew it down a lot in, say, "third world" countries, but should not be skewing it so much in western countries, and yet... slightly more than one in five of UK and US 12-15 year olds lack this skill according to that assessment.

Some of this might be fundamental reading challenges (visual impairment, dyslexia, attention and memory), but still, it is not a particularly good sign for the global figure if these rather ordinary western countries are scoring so low. (Singapore and Japan manage more like 85%)

The article mentions that the channel was taken down because a hacker in the live Zoom meeting (being streamcast into YouTube) played porn. YouTube could have simply blocked that single YT video while retaining the rest of the channel.

If multiple instances of users hacking Zoom meetings came to light, Google could simply block Zoom from streamcasting videos into YouTube until they fixed their shit.
Man, I wish I could agree with the author here.

It's so painful to go back and reread Ender's Game, where a couple of children make social media accounts that are so persuasive that literally everybody on earth agrees with them. One speaks more like a demagogue, but it is nothing like the tribalism of modern social media.

It's especially hard to agree with the author in his praise of Chomsky. He's certainly no hate-spewing table-thumper, but he's got a cult of personality same as everybody else. And his time has long since passed; his influence today is negligible outside of a few ideological bubbles.

He cites the quote that hated cannot drive out hate, but love can. I think that's wrong two ways. And I see little evidence that love can end hate. Martin Luther King Jr receives much praise for providing the carrot in the conflict over Civil Rights, but we prefer to forget that Malcolm X was providing the stick. King himself cautioned white moderates about delaying justice in the name of peace, and they had the Watts Riots in mind when they heard that.

Hate can drive out hate. D Day was not an act of love. Wars end when one side gives up.

Republicans are not going to suddenly find liberals more tolerable if they were to agree to mouth niceties about Kissinger. Flaming Kissinger may not help, but I don't believe that it makes anything worse, either.

It takes only one side to make a war. Social media may have exacerbated that, but people were burning Kissinger in effigy before Facebook and before CNN. (And I do think that the 24 hour news media deserves more focus in escalating American partisanship, back in the 1990s, by turning news into entertainment.)

I have no feedback that hasn't already been mentioned elsewhere. I just want to say that I love this. Your son is developing a passion for programming very similar to how I did so at his age. Seeing it happen as an adult is fascinating and brings back memories. Also, both your challenge tasks and instruction about resources (Google and AI) were spot on and seemed well heeded. Lots to be proud of here :)
In my opinion very little of this has anything inherently to do with development, but organization science in general. All these problems exist is every org corporate or otherwise.
I think that's the wrong line of reasoning. Even if the science isn't 100% settled, you're in a scenario where it's possible if not probably that formaldehyde is major carcinogen. Maybe futures studies say it's not quite as bad as they think, maybe it's worse. The question is how much certainty does the EPA need before it takes action? Should they let people continue to breath in toxic chemicals because it's possible they're not as toxic as we think? Surely they have to be prepared to act on incomplete information sometimes.

Literacy is essential to living in society without getting scammed or taken advantage of.

There's a scene in Betty Smith's "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" that illustrates practical necessity of reading comprehension for the average person, where a grandmother tells a mother to save enough money over time and make sure the granddaughter can read. An excerpt follows:

--

"Will it work, this saving?"

"I swear by the Holy Mother it will."

"Then why haven't you ever saved enough money to buy land?"

"I did. When we first landed, I had a star bank. It took me ten years to save that first fifty dollars. I took the money in my hand and went to a man in the neighborhood of whom it was said that he dealt fairly with people who bought land. He showed me a beautiful piece of earth and told me in my own language; 'This is thine!' He took my money and gave me a paper. I could not read. Later, I saw men building the house of another on my land. I showed them my paper. They laughed at me with pity in their eyes. It was that the land had not been the man's to sell. It was ... how do you say it in the English ... a schwindle."

"Swindle."

"Ai. People like us, known as greenhorns from the old country, were often robbed by men such as he because we could not read. But you have education. First you will read on the paper that the land is yours. Only then will you pay."

--

Yes, you can certainly be relatively more educated than you started by going to school, even if you are not literate by the end. But reading comprehension and literacy is a crucial skill that has practical value for living a better life.
I wonder if the majority of people would have improved comprehension by listening or watching a video. For much of human history, knowledge was transferred orally, so maybe humans are naturally better at that. With the ubiquitous of video, do people really need to be expert readers and writers?
> Phase from Intensity because Huygens' classical oscillatory model applies to photons;

Correction:

Phase from second-order Intensity due to "mechanical concepts of center of mass and moment of inertia via the Huygens-Steiner theorem for rigid body rotation"

Parallel axis theorem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_axis_theorem :

> The parallel axis theorem, also known as Huygens–Steiner theorem, or just as Steiner's theorem, [1] named after Christiaan Huygens and Jakob Steiner, can be used to determine the moment of inertia or the second moment of area of a rigid body about any axis, given the body's moment of inertia about a parallel axis through the object's center of gravity and the perpendicular distance between the axes.

( Huygens-Fresnel principle > Generalized Huygens' principle > and quantum field theory:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huygens%E2%80%93Fresnel_princi... :

> [ Kirchoff, Path Integrals (Hamilton, Lorentz, Feynmann,), quabla operator and Minkowski space, Secondary waves and superposition; ]

> Homogeneity of space is fundamental to quantum field theory (QFT) where the wave function of any object propagates along all available unobstructed paths. When integrated along all possible paths, with a phase factor proportional to the action, the interference of the wave-functions correctly predicts observable phenomena. Every point on the wavefront acts as the source of secondary wavelets that spread out in the light cone with the same speed as the wave. The new wavefront is found by constructing the surface tangent to the secondary wavelets.

> However, I'd like to prompt Hacker News with how would you handle receiving support requests from a product that has >2.7B users. Almost all of which are non-directly revenue generating, across hundreds of different languages, in every conceivable location in the world.

One way: dollars.

Another way: don't provide services you can't support.

The only way it's actually going to happen, and when it does we'll shockingly find it was always possible and companies just didn't feel like doing it: regulation (which will just result in a mix of the first two options)
The problem with the current EU-wide rating system is that it assumes the interior is ventilated as required by other regulations. Furniture materials are assigned an emission class (E0, E1, E2) based on the steady-state VOC concentration in the test chamber (EN 717-1 and others).

Virtually no home manages to hit the minimums for ventilation (25 m³/h per person, IIRC), especially during winter. So even though an E1-class particle board is labeled as safe with regards to VOC emissions, in practice the room will reach far higher pollution levels than that category allows.

It also doesn't control for the amount of material present, so you can have a small properly ventilated room covered floor to ceiling with E1 particle board furniture, but achieve E2 or worse VOC levels in the air.

Backstory: former employer spent $$ to integrate a VOC sensor into their residential HVAC/HRV solution. The idea was to increase ventilation when odors are present and reduce ventilation when the air was clean again. The engineer prototyped and tested the device in their pre-war home (brick, stone, old wood). All good. They had the first batch manufactured and sent out to customers in brand new homes full of modern materials (engineered wood, vinyl flooring etc). The sensors were permanently saturated (reading maximum VOC value) and the project ended up being canceled, because newly built homes were their entire customer base.
The difference with the internet is that it was not the people on the inside calling it useless (engineers). It was the business people and others who had no understanding of the technology and possibilities.

In this case it is the opposite, the best ML/software engineers today think this is a passing phase. It's the general population and business people who are claiming it to be revolutionary.

Only time will tell though

It's not any different because ordinary compilation isn't parallelizable either. Chopping up your program into TUs is a work around for the fact that it isn't, not proof that it is. Think about it: why does ODR exist? Why does LTO exist? Also think about it: is linking parallelizable?
