How is this story obviously wrong if you've developed the Pythagorean theorem? The Pythagorean theorem has nothing to do with rationality. If you think the irrationality of sqrt(2) follows easily from the Pythagorean theorem, then by all means, please demonstrate!

(These days the irrationality of sqrt(2) is obvious due to unique prime factorization, but the ancient Greeks didn't have that concept!)
It says it was newer published (before now), so would not 2025 be correct?
Irrelevant.

1. Downstream of the mains power supply are DC-DC converters that run the router hardware. Those contain the filters and capacitance you think you're fixing. Nothing in that router actually cares about mains power quality. They absolutely do not care about perfect sinusoids.

2. If you were seeing insufficient power to the router, you would observe crashes and faults -- not slowdowns.

3. Two different routers showed the same behavior, which suggests that the fault lies outside the router+power supply and more to do with something common (e.g. network, laptop).

The dip shows a reduction in voltage, and a larger one than I would like, but without a scale on either time or voltage, it's difficult to guess if it actually matters. I would suspect not, since the device does boot successfully. Again, the voltage doesn't matter, since the router runs off its internal DC-DC supplies, not the external power supply.

I'm happy that the capacitor and new supply has fixed the issue, but I'm unconvinced by the explanation. Check grounding between inverter and laptop.

I love all the mods/tools around Factorio, I don't think I've put more hours in any other video game, maybe Skyrim, maybe not. It tickles all right parts of my brain especially now that I write less code in my current position.

It’s slightly funny that your last link is to the website of a museum at SFO airport. I like SFO a lot for having such installations and an overall calm vibe.
Apparently a fire chief wrote in her boilerplate online bio that her top priority was equity and inclusion with the fire department, so clearly firefighting wasn't her top priority, so clearly the entire disaster is her fault, and so DEI caused the wildfire.
Humans might accelerate changes, but everything in nature is always in flux.
Even without humans, there is no reason a cosmic or terrestrial event can’t change the way things are, or an insect plague, or a virus or bacteria, etc.
Oh hey, that totally sounded familiar :) Pretty sure this is from Konyok Gorbunok (The Little Humpbacked Horse), a 1975 Soviet cartoon based on a famous Russian fairy tale. The bit you're describing is at 1:07:30 of https://youtu.be/fKc22eSL1gA.

This doesn't quite fit several of the points you remember (very much in line with the post!), so perhaps it was some other edition of that same story.

EDIT: so, I just plugged your description into ChatGPT and it gave the exact same answer, including an identical timestamp! Weird.

typing is not writing

for me at least 90% of the "writing" happens away from a keyboard

mainly in my head (on walks, in the shower, when I least expect it)

then on paper & pencil, writing words, phrases, drawing lines, rinse, repeat

my goal is to finish the conceptual thinking to a degree that when I sit down in front of a keyboard, it's mainly "downloading" from my brain

If I try to do the conceptual work at a keyboard it's torture
As a last code snippet readability suggestion - maybe extract "malloc" and "free" calls to your own simple wrappers (like my_malloc and my_free), and do "valgrinding" inside of them? You can also pass additional params to these functions to specify type of allocation if needed, or make separate functions.
No I mean I would have no problem killing an animal if I was unable to buy meat at a grocery store.

Phish-Free PayPal Phishing
We had an Apple II club in Southern California in the early 80s that did the same thing. Couple dozen of us meeting once a month and sharing floppies. Multiple systems with 10 disk drives and using Penulticopy to make nine duplicates at a time. We all ended up with far more programs (mostly games) than we could ever use in our lifetime.

I eventually started a small dial-up BBS to trade warez amongst friends and play some multiplayer games, but stopped when the number got out and strangers started dialing in. Completely freaked me out and for the next few months thought the FBI was going to be knocking on my door.

I spent more on blank floppies during that era than legal software.
> i didn't start working in the industry until 2019.

Yeah for an entry level developer getting in the industry right before Covid hit had to suck.

> this was good advice 5 years ago, even 2-3 years ago, if your goal is to maximize income. but it's out of date now.

The entire market sucks now. But BigTech is still hiring as well as the enterprise dev side. You might as well shoot for the moon and settle if you must.
Tell HN: macOS is currently detecting Docker as malware
I just finished porting my projects canonical build process to Docker a few days ago, and had a rude awakening today when MacOS declared Docker malware and deleted its executable. After an hour of trying to figure out why my build was broken, of course.

The workaround is just reinstallation, looks like they had a certificate issue:

Interesting. When I'm on a walk or in the shower, I try to avoid thinking about anything complicated, preferring to wait till I'm in front of a keyboard.
I'm probably lucky that Sumatra is showing them as static documents.
Absolutely. It's my impression—after many mistakes—that one of the most important pieces of advice I could have given myself at a younger age, is that "your job is basically a function of what you're empowered to do and what you're clearly rewarded for, don't imagine it to be something it's not, don't pretend or act as though you have more influence than you do".

Your bank's website might have shit accessibility and usability, but it's not because the developers suck, it's because they aren't paid to do more than the minimum that they're paid for, and it's stupid for them to incur that cost or scope risk just because they're altruistic. If they spent 5 hours on a Wednesday optimizing a thing for screen readers, but there's literally no measurable reason to do so, that's a mark against them if there's anything else to do that does.

The same pattern is true across other jobs. It's not the admin's job to have empathy or to decide whether a policy should exist, it's there job to enforce arbitrary policies. It's also not the job of a University to educate people, that's now a University typically makes money, it's only even tenuously their job to get people between having no measure of knowledge, and having a measure of knowledge, but not necessarily to have any specific impact on that.
present day demoparties (as in, demoscene events) are pretty much that these days
"The impact of the internet on our way of life in its first 40 years has been immeasurable. It has expanded and developed in a way none of us envisaged in 1975", suggesting 2015?
I don't know how neuroscientists fare wrt knowledge of biology, chemistry, etc. that is relevant to their field, but the real problem is when they wade into philosophical waters without the requisite philosophical chops or background to do so [0].

Others can be guilty of similar sins, of course, and since the early 20th century, when philosophy and the classical liberal arts in general evaporated from school curricula, scientists have generally been quite poor at this, despite unwittingly treading into subject matters they are ill-prepared to discuss. Compare how a Schroedinger or a Heisenberg[2] talk about philosophical stuff, and then look at someone like Krauss [3]. The former may not have been great philosophical thinkers, but there is a huge difference in basic philosophical education and awareness, and these are not just isolated cases.

UW has had some pretty bad issues (e.g. systems lab abuse [1], early-entrance programs [2]). Another program I was in had serious issues such as overworking and threatening student eligibility, such that almost all the leadership involved left for other universities. That was never reported more loudly out of fear of retaliation and sheer exhaustion of the students. That being said, it is a large university with many different actors and most of my experiences here have been positive.

Many libraries I've encountered have defines available now to use the -A APIs; previously they were using -W APIs and converting to/from UTF-8 internally.

As for my application, any wchar conversions being done by the runtime are a drop in the bucket compared to the actual compute.

Yeah I think this is probably part of the reason it's not doing well, the price being the other side of things. There was no effort done to integrate with SteamVR at all that I've read about.
I really don't follow what you're trying to say here. The point is that the durable verifiable signature has no value to users, but lots of value to attackers; in other words: it only has value to attackers. People are confused because in a formal analysis, journalists getting stories from leaked mail spools are attackers; they are a thing secure messengers are designed to thwart.
The background music in the opening scene is wonderful.
This is only true for distributions with finite variance (and the edge case of distribution with slowly growing infinite variance).

And for a given variance, gaussian distributions are exactly the maximal entropy distribution.
That seems a bit contrived. I would expect my babysitter to be observing a child in-person, not remotely.

Regardless, the commonly expected use case for IoT devices is for people to be able to access them from their mobile device, on the internet (thus the 'I' in IoT). IoT devices, as their name implies, are on the internet, and need authentication because of this.

The problem is that this use case is real, and people are buying these devices, and so, how do we make them better? "Just don't do that" doesn't address the problem, it's a dismissal of it.

Running a shitty business, even an exploitative one, isn’t violence.
You might want a dedicated device to control some lights or scan some barcodes that you can hand off without handing off the most expensive thing you own, that unlocks almost every piece of personal data you have.

A built in keyboard could be a failure point, and gamepads are well known to fail. I'd trust five layers of frameworks and thousands of lines of code more than a cheap switch.

If they really wanted maximum reliability, I would prefer they charge the keypad with NFC and talk to it over either BLE or just the NFC itself.
Just to be clear though, if I find a user because they gave a great answer to my question and then I look at their other answers, *am I allowed to upvote them on the basis that they are great answers?*

Edit: Just adding so no one reads anything into my post, I have not read any of the SO posts in question and this was more of a question to trigger thought about what appears to be a poorly reasoned application of a policy.
Interesting read. I run OpenSUSE Leap so I get yast for managing packages graphically, and often times I see separate packages for bash/zsh/fish completion.

I'm guessing there is some slight differences between these.

It could be nice to add completions to applications that are currently missing them, since a lot of the ones I use do seem to be missing them.
I remember riding the bus from Ithaca down to the office of an AI startup at Union Square the summer BERT came out and trying to train a scikit-learn classifier on my laptop to classify Word2Vec embeddings on things like: part of speech, "is this a color word?", etc. and found I just couldn't. If I had a tiny number of examples (<10) it might seem to work but if I put more examples in it would break.

My conclusion was that "Word2Vec sucks", probably a lot of people tried the same thing and either came to that conclusion or thought they did something wrong. People don't usually publish negative results so I've never read about anybody doing it. It takes bravery. Great work!

The diagrams on this page are a disgrace in my mind

what it comes down to is that they are projecting down from a N=50 space to an N=2 space. You have a lot of dimensions to play with so if you have, say 20 points, you can find some projection where those points lie wherever you want, even if it was just a random point cloud.

It's really a lie because if they tried to map 100 cities to their ZIP codes it wouldn't work at all, that's what I found trying to make classifiers.

These are huge investments but I believe countries that heavily invest in renewables are going to get ahead of those who don’t due to lower energy costs.

And if countries refuse to reduce their carbon footprint, we may start to put some tariffs on your goods and services.

While the Apple-Google rivalry seems to have waned compared to a decade ago, I just don’t see Apple completely capitulating their platform/browser engine like Microsoft did.

Not to mention even if Apple switched to Chromium, they’d just end up taking over that engine, even forking it later down the road:

> We can only imagine what would have happened if Chrome kept using WebKit. We probably ended up with a WebKit-monoculture. Trident is dead, and so is EdgeHTML. Presto is long gone. Only Gecko is left, and frankly speaking, I will be surprised to see it regain its former glory.

But Chrome did fork, and today, we can also see similar things happen in Chromium. I don’t expect somebody to fork Chromium, but it could happen.

We’ve seen Edge adding some privacy enhancements to Chromium pioneered by Safari. Edge shipped those, but Chrome did not. And as more browsers start using Chromium and large companies will work on improving Chromium, more of these disagreements will happen. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Just because a browser is based on Chromium, that does not mean it is identical to Chrome and that Google is in control. Even if the unthinkable happens and Apple is forced to adopt Chromium, that will only ensure that Google is not the only one having a say about Chromium and the future of the web.

And that is what is crucial here. The choice between rendering engines isn’t about code. It isn’t about the rendering engine itself and the features it supports or its bugs. Everything is about who controls the web.

https://nielsleenheer.com/articles/2022/why-safari-does-not-...

Yeah, I don’t see Apple meekly letting Google steer the future of Chromium even if they were to use it.
So the culprit is still the software writer. They should have wrapped the C++ library for OS-specific behavior on Windows. Because they are publishing buggy software and calling it cross-platform.
I suspect that, given a reasonable prompt, it would absolutely discard certain phrases or concepts for others. I think it may find it difficult to cross check and synthesize, but "term families" are sort of a core idea of using multi-dimensional embedding. Related terms have low square distances in embeddings. I'm not super well versed on LLMs but I do believe this would be represented in the models.
This isn’t true - many hiring managers and HR filters do in fact screen by language and keywords. I personally wouldn’t work there but it’s particularly true for non tech companies and especially true for sweat shop like environments. A lot of Java and c++ roles are also very specific in what they’re hire for because the frameworks and (in c++ especially) language complexity is profound. A competent ruby developer would take a decade to become a competent c++ engineer because it takes a decade to really learn the complexities of c++ at that level. (Which is one reason I’m a huge supporter of rust killing off c++). Companies built around modern tool chains tend to be more progressive in their hiring and their tool chains are more forgiving.
Wow, thanks for the down votes without any conversation! Did anyone who downvoted this actually try reading it? Do you disagree with any of it? Can you prove any of it wrong? Why the downs?
For some reason there is this pervasive attitude that it's ok to not be good with computers, the same way it's ok to be bad at math. It is a socially acceptable thing to be bad at, even if you use computers for work every single day. This is paired with the weirdly pervasive attitude that any tool with a learning curve is bad. Throw in the siren song of "good enough", and you have swathes of people who are completely uninterested in choosing the best tool for the job and instead choose the easiest tool for the job.
This is awesome. Love the site too.
IoT customers by default would not have devices exposed to the Internet. This has been the status quo for decades ever since wifi and NAT became popular. If they don't understand it, it will be secure by default.

It would be technically quite easy for either a dedicated home-access box or just the router-AP combo box to have some auto-config wireguard setup (e.g. scan a QR code or install an app that looks for the box on the local network or through bluetooth). This would be far more secure than the current setup, which is for devices to constantly connect to generally malicious C&C servers. If regulations pushed for actual security (no-cloud), this would be the obvious solution to guide to market toward. Then you only have to trust your gateway device, which also would have no reason to ever create outgoing Internet connections, though it would need outgoing/forwarded LAN connections.

With SLAAC to generate a random initial IPv6 address that it never rotates combined with UDP so there's no indication that you talked to anything if your wireguard keys are wrong, there's basically no way to find such a box if you didn't have the correct config.

Build an AI Agent with Temporal [video]
Senior Staff Solutions Architect Steve Androulakis uses Temporal to build a durable AI agent in this five-minute video.

The agent is first given a description of the goal and the tools it has at its disposal. The agent uses the LLM to decide which tool to use. If the LLM gives a bad response at any point, Temporal helps the agent self-heal by retrying the LLM until it succeeds. The agent allows for amending of parameters such as flight dates using natural language. The agent is not hard-coded to this use case. The Workflow supports dynamic agent goals and tool definitions, so it can essentially work toward any goal so long as the correct tools and goals are provided. Temporal handles the human-in-the-loop confirmation steps via signals. The React JS UI simply queries the Temporal Workflow to display the conversation history. The workflow is coded using Temporal’s Python SDK.
why would you need to iterate on destruction? you free the whole pool at once, since you allocate it all at once
As per my reply to the sibling comment, I don’t think Apple is anywhere near to the capitulation that Microsoft was when it came to abandoning their browser engine.
China still generates approximately two thirds of it's electricity by burning fossil fuels so it still has a plenty of catching up to do. For example in my country power generation is already 94% carbon free.

They gave us Ambien (no go pills) and Provigil (go pills) in the miltary during long ready states. After a while, I became dependent on Ambien and would sleep walk (among other things). My roomates would zip me up in my sleeping bag to deal with it.

Took me about 2 years after the military to get back to "normal"

I do miss the Provigil, though... that stuff made able to focus so well.

> A blanket dismissal of all animals feeling anything "just because" is not a critique.

The idea that animals feel human emotions (much less "grief") is based only on the fact that orcas look pretty to the human eye.

Would you be willing to entertain "grieving" ants? (Ants are the only animals beside humans to have successfully built a civilization. Can't say they are unintelligent.)
Not too mention that you can edit anything you want, like the sudoers file.
With some trepidation to attracting the kinds of attacks you made on others below, saying that recreation "misdirect talented individuals from impactful work" is not a stance I hope most people reading this will agree with.

Do you truly believe that EVERYTHING you do with your time is impactful? If it is not, would you be totally ok to be attacked by somebody that is "infuriated" by your "wasted effort"?

As for SerenityOS and Ladybird, I suspect that just the YouTube series surrounding them alone have had more positive impact on the world than the two of us combined. Suspicion is not an assertion of course.
