Thanks for the interest! The work is by Francesco, a very good student of mine.

I linked a preprint of the paper that presents it and that we’ve got recently accepted at SAC2025 because it details both the theory and the Rust implementation.
The paper also includes the link to the repository, but it makes sense to report it here

> Maybe it couldn’t have, but that’s easier to say with the benefit of hindsight.

We knew within two weeks of most major shutdowns that Covid wasn’t even close to as bad as predicted by the Imperial College. Society decided to completely ignore that data and instead doubled down on its hysteria for more than three years.
I am going through it right now at 38. I am the unhappiest I have ever been.

It all stems from being fundamentally so unhappy with work. I have changed 3 employers over the past 4 years and I’ve been more and more depressed with each transition. I spend my life in a state of immense disappointment about having to work. I am not even passionate about software anymore, so it’s not only the corporate madness (meetings, offices, coworkers, bosses, pressure to perform, code reviewers, etc). My weekends are filled with anxiety about Mondays. Everywhere I go I just cannot stand the pressure to perform and the massive time investment.

I haven’t quit yet (despite likely affording to do so on a financial basis) because I’m a coward who would never forgive himself for having quit such a high paying job, and prefer to instead every day destroy my mental health at yet another workplace, hoping that it will be the day I will be fired or laid off, so that the decision would be taken for me.

Professional mental health has been useless, I know what I need to do, just quit.
Well I imagine this is a relatively new phenomena in the USA. Usually I hear about these "coincidences" in foreign countries... but here....? Maybe the older HN generation can shed some insight...

Indeed. Words are very very inexpensive and fool a lot of people. Never pay attention to any words. Judge people by their actions.

That is an interesting comment. I think you are right. Probably more of a baseline competency but extraordinary 'soft skills'?

> The alternative of continuing isolation was available though impractical for many.

There was, in fact, many alternatives beyond “isolation”. But thanks to society’s hysterical myopic focus and constant propaganda and suppression of information most people were not allowed to discuss them out loud.

How anybody could continue to believe what society did in response to Covid was not only okay but was the only option is absolutely wild to me. It’s a testament to the massive amount of propaganda cranked out by various governments. Their belief is not just wrong it’s insulting to the people who watched the nonsense unfold.
Dart is really not much different from a PWA/Ionic though: the language requires bindings to use native APIs; it's runtime is not native to any platform (where as most platforms do have native web runtimes); and it's rendering system doesn't support native widgets (in fact, it currently uses Skia which is the same rendering library as Chrome).

> I think it's more natural to think of arr[i] as “the ‹i›th element of arr” because it doesn't require explaining what a step is or what the beginning is.

Yes, but if you will eventually need to do steps on your array, you better opt for the framework that handles them better. I agree, that if your only task is to name them, then 1 based indexing makes more sense: you do that since diapers, and you do that with less errors.
That has to be the worst landing page ever
I don't have references in front of me, (EDIT: I do!) but IIRC it takes about a kilogram of mass-energy to accelerate a kilogram mass to about 0.85c. But that kilogram would have to be carrying another kilogram of matter/anti-matter fuel to decelerate again. So there is a kind of relativistic Tsiolkovsky equation for mass-energy propulsion vehicles that carry their own fuel.

Zipping around the galaxy at 0.95c, stopping at destinations and then zipping off again will require carrying a lot of antimatter with you.

EDIT: Thanks to Wolfram Alpha I was able to see that it the kinetic energy of 1 kg at 0.87c is very close to the mass energy of 1kg of matter.
That's not it either.

In French, we have a quote coming from Beaumarchais, in Figaro's monologue: "Sans la liberté de blâmer, il n'est point d'éloge flatteur" (without the freedom to blame there is no flattering praise).

Equally, without the possibility of violence from the weak towards the strong (who has the power), there is no real social contract: that's the basis of societies, they hold because their hierarchy is accepted and supported by its members. Violence is a (last resort) mean to refuse the hierarchy in place.

A democratic society is precisely one that functions in a way to detect and fix discrepancies in this acceptance and support without (and before) going to extreme means such as violence.

And... it's a bit difficult to argue that private companies may solve public matters, especially when negotiation comes into play, in matters of scale and efficiency.

The same way that monoliths still often beat microservices.

Now, when scale and efficiency is not the focus per se, you may consider it's a very valid option to involve private actors. But in matters of taxes (roughly speaking) and of health/lives, it's perilous (as we can see) to make shareholders profits enter the equation of "scale and efficiency".
The problem is, from a game theory perspective, things like a dead man's switch may possibly protect you from your enemy but won't protect you from your enemy's enemies who would gain two-fold from your death: your death would be blamed on your enemy, and all the dirty laundry would be aired to the public.

I only don't like the .venv in the project directory. It tends to get copied into git or docker. And it makes backup of a project a lot bigger and taking longer because of the many files.
I think the easiest way to look at it is that you start with every topic available, then you filter down to what people are comfortable with. So, you can only ever lose topics as you add people, looking for the lowest common denominators.
I can't recommend any courses as I went do the academic route. But my experience is these academic courses do not give you any practical knowledge that will help you in industry. Were I to do it again I'd start with udemy initially as the courses are cheap and seem decent. They focus on specific technologies.

Most priors are not encodable as architecture though, or only partially.
A while back I did some experiments with 4-bit digital to analog RGB. I wanted to find a simple arrangement of resistors that took for digital lines and produced Red,Green and Blue intensity levels to produce a palette that was more friendly.

Blog entry on it here.
http://blag.fingswotidun.com/2020/07/a-nicer-4-bit-colour-wi...

More recently I had the thought of training a resister-net in pytorch with quantization aware training (quantizing resister values to a few common values) to see if I could produce a set of colours to minimise the average perceptual distance to the closest palette entry from any color.

One day I'd like to make my own 74-logic game console, so this was one of the building blocks. It did make me think that having a cartridge port that as well as ROM, included Analog-in, Analog-out, and digital-in video lines so carts could tweak the colours. To use system default just connect analog-in to analog-out for each of R,G, and B. Cross the wires to get palette variations. Use the digital lines to resister-net your own (or just modulate the default). Or go crazy like a NES mapper.

Those press tools appear to have been made from some something other than steel. (Maybe aluminum or zinc, given the cheese-like results with only ~10 tons.)

Here's the OG HPC crushing a Prince Rupert drop with a hydraulic press and steel tools: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCJwHrvutGk

At 3:20, the deformation of the tools is shown after they have put 29 tons onto a Prince Rupert drop: There's a good dent, but not like they were made from Mozzarella.

(Later in the video are more demonstrations, peaking at around 68 tons, that also do not turn the press tools into cheese.)

> So in your view, when a human does it, he causes a minute of harm so we can ignore it, but chatGPT causes a massive amount of harm, so we need to penalize it. Do you realize how radical your position is?

Yes, that's my view. No, I don't think that this is radical at all. For some reasons or another, it is indeed quiet uncommon. (Well, not in law, our politicians are perfectly capable of making laws based on the size of danger/harm.)

However, I haven't yet met anyone, who was able to defend the opposite position, e.g. slow bullets = fast bullets, drawing someone = photographing someone, memorizing something = recording something, and so on. Can you?
>Because otherwise someone clever could play a shell game where every org does something bad but its split up in such a way to diffuse responsibility across the organization and minimize fines,

"We can't figure out who to blame because responsibility is so diffuse, so let's make everyone 100% responsible" makes as much sense as "we can't figure out who the murderers are so let's lock up anyone who vaguely looks like a gangster"[1].

More to the point, it's unclear whether this actually applies in this case. At the very least, you can confine responsibility to the consulting engagements they did with opioid producers. The value McKinsey & Company provides in their management consulting engagements might be questionable, but it's a stretch to claim their engagements with some random fortune 500 (non-pharma) company contributed to the opioid crisis, or need to be punished.

Ok to sum up what I'm thinking: As a stakeholder, I pay a large deposit. I get an immediate payment, and my deposit back after a year. Proof of life happens monthly. If nobody reveals my key after proof of life goes missing, I lose my deposit. If anyone reveals my key despite proof of life in the past month, then 99% of my deposit is burned, and the revealer gets 1% of the deposit.

If I understand right, your concern with this is that the coordinator could pay off shardholders to reveal their shards directly to the coordinator, avoid revealing shards to the contract, and then the shardholders can get their money back.

However, the shardholders do have to worry that the coordinator will go ahead and reveal, collecting that 1% and burning the rest. Or it could be 10%, or 50%, whatever seems sufficiently tempting to coordinators....given the burn risk, the coordinator has to pay >100% to shardholders regardless (assuming non-iterated).

Maximum theft temptation to coordinators is 100% return, but this removes the financial loss to shardholders who simply reveal prematurely on their own. But maybe even losing 10% is sufficient to dissuade that, and then you have to trust coordinators with access to 90% of your funds.

And all this, hopefully, is in the context of the general public having no idea how much economic value the document in question has to a coordinator. In fact, if coordinators routinely pay shardholders more than their deposits, it would pay people to put up lots of worthless documents and collect the payments.
Ask HN: Why aren't there design tools like Figma with live HTML+CSS previews?
Bidirectional live HTML + CSS previews: the app can show HTML & CSS as just 1-2 files and you can see edits on the HTML & CSS in the visual real time. I get the feeling I'm describing something that already exists but I didn't find it with my countless google searches.

I have done lots of searching about this while deciding on vector editors for personal use. Sure there are website builder tools like Framer and Webflow, but they're clearly branded as website builders, and they have different UIs. While I haven't actually used them beyond glancing at them, They have you choose components corresponding to HTML elements, rather than shapes / objects like Figma does. Besides being more popular, Figma seems to have a much smaller learning curve and lots of collaboration features. There are many open source vector editing tools but none I found that are meant to be an alternative to Figma and with bidrectional HTML + CSS.

Often the designs created in Figma are converted into websites, I don't know how useful this would be why not have designers and developers use whichever tools best suit them and work in the same file formats? A wonderful thing about HTML + CSS are declarative layouts and designs in plain text so you can use any text editor or an IDE for feature like a side by side text and visual preview. A designer could just use the visual editing tool, and if they need advanced properties or layout options which aren't supported by said editor, then they could open a CSS text window up and write the layout properties there. Figma doesn't have equivalents of every single CSS property and doesn't let you write them.

Another benefit is having the designs as files stored on your device, while many apps can do this, Figma is purely cloud-based. Storing designs as plain text allows for saving file history with VCS tools like Git, which has a whole bunch of different tools for comparing versions, tags + branching, and platforms like Github support pull requests (while Figma has these, again why not have designers and developers use the same systems?). A designer could then utilize GUI git tools plus GitHub to collaborate and make pull requests.

I find it bonkers that some SWEs out there have spent countless man hours into writing web UIs for tools like Figma that don't have bidirectional HTML + CSS previews. The designs are in proprietary file formats (or whatever is stored in the cloud), and developing the web UIs involves implementing the objects of those designs with a bunch of, you guessed it: HTML & CSS.

For personal vector editing I get the feeling that I should just write HTML & CSS in Vim (Neovim), which lets me navigate to and edit far away words in a document with only a few keywords, which would be more productive for me than using any of these vector editing tools.

When I was a kid the pollution was so bad in the US, we learned about acid rain. They made changes that nobody liked, but the acid stopped failing from the sky and people accepted it was a better situation.

Change takes energy to implement. It is much easier to not make the change, and for the most part people are just lazy. It takes a determine group to decide to expend the energy to get the changes started.

The enthalpy changes measured by a calorimeter are dependent on the design of the calorimeter, which could have been a different piece of equipment. In a sense, that makes it dependent on the definition of enthalpy.

If you introduced a new bit of macro information to the definition of an ensemble, you'd divide the number of microstates by some factor. That's the micro level equivalent of macroscopic entropy being undefined up to an additive constant.

The measurables don't tell you S, they only tell you dS.

Clever bit of molecular design! It’s a DNA hook that folds and binds to itself. It also has a site for binding to a partner. If you pull gently on the partner it just unzips from the hook and easily detaches. But, if you pull harder the hook unzips instead. Then the partner has to shear instead of unzipping. That’s much harder.

So that’s the “catch bond”. It comes undone if you pull gently, but the bond gets much tougher if you pull harder. Its a bit like those finger trap toys.

Also, many cells use this kind of catch bond for detecting and responding to biomechanical forces.
This is a really interesting observation, because I'm in an adult discussion class in Sunday school that is arranged like a circle, and I've been trying to figure out why it seems that structure works so well at limiting conversational divergence.

It seems that when everyone is forced to look at each other, it's harder to divest from the main conversation without drawing your attention away from the remainder of the group. It seems better for fostering discussion with a single speaker at a time since everyone can look at that person all at once.

It's not perfect but for larger groups the "circle strategy" definitely seems to work well.

Thanks for sharing!

I named Buzee after my pet dog. I guess I am unaware of what you’re referring to, English isn’t my native language after all. Hope it isn’t a slur or something!
As I mentioned before, you haven't made any points with enough substance to argue against.

Anybody can say "I know the truth and you are wrong".

How do propose anybody argue against that. On what basis can anybody argue against what you have in your head, but is secret and un-knowable?

When making any counter arguments, you call them attacks and then start quoting a lot about Dunning-Kruger as if that is not an ad-hominem in return.

people kill themselves after lots of different stressful life events. the reason is that the stress induces depression/ mental dysfunction. the difference between people who do and dont, besides having the information or wisdom to put the situation in context and avoid the stress in the first place, is robustness of mental health. its a mental health issue not a jobs issue.
