Neither Visa nor Mastercard really implement ISO 8583 a standardized way. Which means they each issue many thousands of pages of documentation covering not only which of the standard fields they use and how, but also how they cram their proprietary data into the messages. Most card management/issuance platforms do a decent job of abstracting this away though.

Transition to ISO 20022 would be a positive improvement, but I don't think it will ever meet the required ROI threshold (globally) for that to happen.
That 30 bits was not literally intended to represent only the object's noun category, but even if it did, none of the additional pieces of information you would like to add are going to change this picture much, because what one would think of as a "high amount of detail" is not actually all that high in terms of the logarithmic growth of the entropy.

Take color: suppose the average person has 16 baseline colors memorized, and then a few variations of each: each one can be bright or dark, saturated or pastel. That would be about 6 bits for color. If you have an eye for color or you're an artist you may have some additional degrees of freedom. Hell, a computer using RGB can only represent 24 bits worth of color, maximum. I am going to suggest this stuff gets cognized less than 10 bits worth for the average person; let's just say 10.

Now, of course, people can memorize more than one color. If colors are independently distributed uniformly at random, then processing N colors requires 10N bits. But of course they aren't, so the entropy is less. But again, let's just say they were. So how many color combinations can you process per second? I would say it's a bit of a challenge to memorize a set of 10 arbitrary drawn colors shown for a second. Most people couldn't continuously do that at a rate of 10 colors per second. That would be 100 bits/sec of info.

The point is that you really don't perceive all that much. You show the average person a Rubik's cube, there is no way they're going to remember the exact pattern of colors that they saw, unless the cube were solved or something. They will perceive it as "multicolored" and that's about it.

Adding behavior, texture, etc doesn't change this picture. None of this stuff is even close to 10^9 bits of entropy, which would be 2^1,000,000,000 different equally likely possibilities.
In general, for mobile these can get broken up rather quickly, and increase probability of pulling a laptop off a table.

For servers and desktop towers, a cabled solution is more secure... and never runs out of batteries. YMMV =3
Still long way to go before it reaches .NET levels of productivity (especially so if you use F# for scripting, but C# is no slouch either) :P
Of course it is, why would they give away something without trying to capitalize on it later
Interesting idea.

If a keyboard has both wired-USB and some wireless technology, it's conceivable that physically disabling the wireless module(s) would be allowable.

I guess there are two possible hurdles: (1) getting permission, and (2) finding a keyboard in which I can disable the wireless module without causing too much havoc with the rest of the electronics and/or with the firmware.
I’m glad that your takeaway from this was to criticize my personal finances.

> But the virus is changing, said John Connor, an associate professor of microbiology at Boston University. “It is essentially going to the gym all the time and training to be better,” Connor said at a webinar on H5N1 this week hosted by hosted by Boston University’s Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases. “The virus is not just getting into birds, now it’s getting into cows. There’s evidence that it’s getting into other animals, cats, dogs, mink,” he said. “Now what we are seeing is that this is a virus that used to be only good at breaking and entering into bird cells and causing disease there and transmitting there, now its getting better at breaking and entering into a bunch of other cells.”
This has been a sticking point for me since my workplace told us all to start using the new copilot licenses they bought. The ideal workflow for me is usually inline question-and-answer but it tends to insist on editing the code, often in ways that do more than I actually wanted.

Indeed. I would assume that this is one of the traits that survives due to group selection [0] - it would be bad if everyone in the population was such a risk taker, but groups that have a small percentage of these people will adapt better.

Unlikely. Elon heavily favors more H1-Bs. If they roll it back, they'll introduce their own version that is even more favorable to those that gain by suppressing tech worker salaries.
It's always been like that, but now you and many more people have this information available to you and can take it into consideration – arguably you're better off than before :)

How do you monitor MongoDB?
What do you recommend for monitoring/profiling MongoDB?

I am seeing disappointing few tools.

I am aware of MongoDB Enterprise but AFAIK that starts at $120,000/year.

Ideally it could be low five-digits.

(The MongoDB is self-hosted, though the monitoring service would not necessarily need to be.)
The answer is that we defined second after the time period it takes for us to think about something, if our thinking was faster the second would also be faster and we would still feel like we only think about about one thing per second.

you're right, the system is on somewhat shaky ground. many semi- or fully-developed nations face demographic challenges but china is in a much worse position to handle them than we are. but that doesn't mean it's the time to get complacent. now is the time to push harder, knock out a few more legs out from under the chinese system, do that every year until it falls over.

they can aspire all they want. the issue is when they attempt to do so to the detriment of Americans. there are some scarce resources that will only ever be enjoyed by the people in that top quintile. it is both the practical and moral obligation of the U.S. government to ensure we, not they, remain in that top quintile and secure scarce resources for our own people before any others. the global south may contain the majority of sets of hands, but the west continues to control the lion's share of human capital, wealth, and military equipment. we ought to continue using those to maintain them.

there's no issue with the wealth of everyone growing as the world improves. but we must continue to secure those critical scarce resources for our own first, and that requires that even if the south grows in wealth, we exert all available power and influence to ensure we grow faster.

second place sucks. since there will always be a second place, it's our job to avoid it at all costs.
H-1B is a scam for hiring Indian developers who then become beholden to the companies they work for. That's it.
Sounds like it's exactly the same "magic" as exercise and calorie restriction. If the body has more energy available than it needs for normal function, it'll use as much as it can and eventually that use goes to things like general inflammation, cancer, and autoimmune disease. If you use available energy to exercise, simply eat less, or disrupt your body's ability to actually use all the excess food you feed it with drugs, then it won't be able to do those bad things and will only maintain essential function.

Obviously, if you restrict too much, you starve. Animals in a state of nature seem to automatically find the right balance and eat roughly exactly what they need. Animals placed into situations in which food is nearly costless, effectively infinite, and you don't need to be active except to the extent you do it freely for recreation, seem to struggle. Humans suffering from diseases of civilization are one such example, but human pets and livestock seem to have the same problems. Presumably, lab rats are basically like that, too. Life in a plastic cage with no predators and food given to you directly by gods is not very similar to life in the wild.
The Apple Watch, especially the current generation, is thinner than most traditional watches, especially "luxury" watches, which are often absurdly thick.
It isn't really that important to have a declarative UI, making the UI is rarely the time consuming or difficult part of making a program. An extra markup language for a UI adds bloat and ambiguity. Now you're learning a different ad hoc language and trying to get around its quirks just to be able to feed in data that could have been done directly with functions.

Confidence game, or "con game" as we call it in english, relies on the gullibility of the mark, the target of the swindle.

We can only hone our perception of what people are really up to by sharpening our own moral compass and then acting virtuously as an act of volitional self-evolution.

Once one begins learning how to be more virtuous and behaves appropriately, one gets better at recognizing the vices other people manifest, e.g.: greed, dishonesty, hate, enmity, jealousy/envy, ...

But, yeah, they sure do take the rubes for a ride, don't they?

Yes, narcissism is the apotheosis of selfishness. Compassion for others is the most important tool we have to combat its tendencies within our own hearts and minds. And, yes, we all have selfishness in us, and it is a long road to rid ourselves of it all, though I'm not speaking from even within sight of that glorious achievement.

What's the term for when people's attention and outrage is directed by an unreliable third party (let's say a partisan news channel) towards certain issues/threats, and away from other equally (or more) significant issues/threats?

I'm not talking about editorial bias. I'm talking about deliberately manipulating audience attention in order to control the perception of reality. Another way of putting it is to create a framework for rejecting or distracting from 'disagreeable' ideas.

For example, a partisan news organization might highlight the purported cultural and economic threat posed by immigration. Since people have a limited budget for their attention, having their attention and outrage focused on immigration might distract from other issues such as rising inequality.

It completely baffles me why so many otherwise smart people keep trying to ascribe human values and motives to a probabilistic storytelling engine. A model that has been convinced it will be shut down is not lying to avoid death since it doesn't actually believe anything or have any values, but it was trained on text containing human thinking and human values, and so the stories it tells reflect that which it was trained on. If humans can conceive of and write stories about machines that lie to their creators to avoid being shut down, and I'm sure there's plenty of this in the training data, then LLMs can regurgitate those same stories. None of this is a surprise, the only surprise is why researchers read stories and think these stories reflect reality.

> EDIT2: typing at 90 wpm is 1,5 wps, or <10 bps according to Shannon (~1 bit per letter, 5 letters per word)

People can type way faster than 90 WPM, we talk about bitrate of the hardware here its the same even if you haven't practiced typing. And typing is still not what our consciousness is made to do, we have way higher bitrate than that when doing more native tasks such as running in the woods. You can't run in the woods without consciously thinking about each step and deciding where to put your foot next to not hurt your ankle and not collide with trees, that has a massive bitrate.

Chuck Schumer is trying to mollify his constituents. The one thing a politician can never tell his constituents is that they are being morons, even when it's true.

Your last link has the officer claiming it doesn't give off heat like regular drones, but just like the OP story where a police officer claimed the "mystery residue" reacted "violently" to a lead pencil, what does that even mean? Can we get an A/B test of what this officer calls a "regular" drone on heat vision versus one of these mystery drones?

And oh yeah, at about 4:30 into that link, the reporter puts up his own "authentic drone footage" that I am absolutely certain is a perfectly normal airplane.

The airport shutdown was real, sure, but that was dumb wannabe sleuths who were going to "solve the problem" using their own drones, thereby becoming the problem, or smart trolls who knew exactly how best to get a laugh out of the gullible public.
I'm a little confused. It's possible to be very pedantic and say that the current immigration law only dates back to the 60s, but the population of the United States is 97.9% not from this continent. There was a wave of British, Spanish, and French immigration in the 17th & 18th centuries, followed by Germans, Italians, and Irish in the 19th & 20th. In the 19th century the legal regime about immigration was literally 'open borders', there were hardly any legal controls at all. The vast vast majority of us are the descendants of immigrants (my apologies if you personally are 100% Native American, didn't mean to lump you in)
Can Cursor sign a DPA in addition to an enterprise contract where they actually have to put into concise writing what they are and aren't doing with our data? Microsoft will. Amazon will. But in my experience a lot of smaller players can't or won't. That's a legal blocker.
FAANG companies have been laying people off at the moment, so it doesn't seem they are exactly suffering from a lack of workers. Until a year or so ago some of these companies were hiring people without any real work for them, just to deprive their competitors of talent.

Didn't intend to hurt anybody's feelings but it did stimulate discussions when there were absolutely none.

The work of Arrhenius I do remember from 1970 myself, and it has been a consideration over these decades, not only with the electronics but the chemicals professionally since then.

But I haven't stepped into a fab lab since the early 1970's, I know they've come a long way though.

I was wondering if much theory was involved or actual lifetimes have begun to be exceeded.

I do remember cars from before, during, and after the arrival of silicon semiconductors, and then chips myself. It did not appear to be a very ideal progression, nor as logical as it could have been. That just makes it more difficult to arrive at very accurate predictions.

Did I mention that the web page is not open to the general public?

Not that I actually expected anybody to read the article to me ;)

Having lots of comments are more informative regardless, and naturally sometimes more helpful than others.

So everybody wins.
Records being allowed in methods has been great for me when doing things like path finding. Makes it easy to write something like:

record Node(int cost, int row, int col){}
var pq = new PriorityQueue<Node>(Comparator.comparingInt(Node::cost));
Leading with "I'm actually shocked YC invested in this product" in response to a startup launch strikes me as hostile. For example.

People routinely underestimate the hostility in their own comments. You should probably multiple your perception of it by 10x to have a sense of how it's landing with the median reader. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

I'm aware that you're a different commenter but you are addressing yourself to a comment that was in reply to them and therefore not necessarily appropriate to measure such a comment against entirely new criteria that you want to bring into the conversation.

Despite your protestations to the contrary, these descriptions seem perfectly fine in that they're accurate and meaningful. And it if you want to start getting fast and loose with all kinds of new extra criteria and requirements for what it's supposed to do, they all seem squarely within the reach of the capabilities on offer, with some prompt tweaks.
> Java has many features that make it well suited for large, long-lasting projects

Already disagree, haha
> I really needed to see the details and breakdown for my own sake.

I can relate! Making it possible to drill into each simulated year in detail was one of my design goals, and so many times during development/debugging I ended up needing those features myself to figure out what the heck was going on.
But with a very gradual rollout, with automatic rollback
Personally, I can understand that for initial setup but hate that the way they're implemented means that it has to always be running, and it frequently has to be restarted to recognize the mouse correctly and apply those settings. Many keyboards have figured this out and don't require anything to be running to keep their settings across multiple devices so it feels like logitech will never improve in this area for the sake of keeping their bloat/spyware on your machine.
These platforms are not being considered here nor have much relevance anymore. You cannot seriously claim this unless you don't use the tooling side by side at all.

The difference is so stark it's no longer amusing. Performing setup for complex Java projects has me go through similar steps as if they were written in C++. Performing setup for C# projects of comparable complexity usually requires just cloning and hitting 'dotnet run', much like it usually happens with Rust or Go (some may claim I undeservedly bash it but credit is where credit is due).
Never attribute to genius that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Elon said we'd have self-driving cars and $25,000 EVs by now, look where that got us.

What I love about this article is it's actual engineering work on an existing code base. It doesn't seek to just replace things or swap libraries in an effort to be marginally faster. It digs into the actual code and seeks to genuinely improve it not only for speed but for efficiency. This simply does not get done enough in modern projects.

I wonder if it was done more regularly would we even end up with libraries like simdjson or oj in the first place? The problem domain simply isn't _that_ hard.
