I arrived at the same conclusion after going through the steps and seeing that some corporate systems mark the login link as malicious, and there’s nothing I can do about it.

Sending a code goes around a lot of issues.
Also, not using Android or Chrome is very feasible for almost everyone (thanks to iOS and Firefox/Chromium). Not using Windows is almost impossible for a large array of use cases and professions.
> what does or doesn’t constitute a “fact”, are all political topics.

It clearly is not. A fact is a fact by definition, regardless of what anyone happens to feel about it. There are facts that are known to be true beyond all possible doubt.

If it is uncertain or in doubt, then it's not a fact and shouldn't be corrected by fact checkers.
They make heat constantly. You’re free to convert that heat to electricity or not at your leisure though. It’s no different to choosing not to draw power from a solar panel in the sun. Not a problem.
Laugh, but this probably does have some real world applications for Live Audio.

Digital Live audio mixing is taking over, but it suffers one flaw compared to analog: Latency. Humans can adjust pretty easily to performing an action and hearing a delayed response (that's pretty natural in our daily lives, basically think of it as echolocation). This is sort of like standing farther from a guitar amplifier (sound travels roughly 1 ms per foot). However, singers have it the worst: there is 0 latency from their voice to the ear canal, so monitor systems try to use analog as much as possible.

For digital audio links, every time you join then end-to-end or decode them, you get a bit of latency added.

There are a few audio interconnects that run on Ethernet's OSI Layer 0 (physical medium)

* AES50 is standardized, basically you can think of it as the 100Base-T of digital live audio. It's synchronously clocked with a predictable latency; with roughly ~62us per link. Pretty nice. Cat5e cables are dirt cheap and musicians are destructive as feral cats, so it it's a pretty good solution. Max length is 100meters.

* AudioDante is also popular but actually relies on IP Layer 3, so latency is variable. Typical values are 1ms - 10ms. Max length is pretty much unlimited, with a lot of asterisks.

FTA: 11us is _unbelievably good_ digital latency, but with near unlimited length is actually a pretty good value proposition for Live Audio. There may be a niche demand for a product like this: slap in some SFP adapters, transmit a channel of digital audio over whatever medium you like.
I live in Manhattan and I am decidedly anti-car. If I had my way private vehicles would be banned (with exceptions for e.g. people with relevant disabilities).

But cabs are important! This past august, I bought a new desktop PC (I did not want to build it myself for various reasons). I took it home in an Uber. Trying to walk to the subway with that giant box would have been virtually impossible.

Just because everything is bound to the face buttons doesn't make it the best solution. Developers make do with what they have. Extra buttons mean I don't have to move my finger off the trackpad or joystick every time I want to do a common action, particularly while aiming the mouse cursor.
And it's fine, right? Honestly I think people need to realize that part of being a good engineer is being able to deal with inconsistency. Maybe submodule A and submodule B do network requests slightly differently but if both ways are reasonable, working, and making the company money, it's probably not worth delaying product improvements in order to make things "more consistent."

On the other hand if no one in your company cares about consistency, at some point everything becomes so awful you basically won't be able to retain engineers or hire new ones, so this is a place where careful judgement is needed.
> the previous "elites" slacked off on the job. What's happening now looks less like a transfer of power than a vacuum being filled

True. But this is how all depositions go. When that process is blocked is when the process stops being peaceful.

> it is the height of absurdity to argue that the "elites" aren't in charge now

Some elites are always going to be in charge. That's almost tautology. The point is there is no the elites who were in charge and are now.

> other "elites," to the extent there are any, are short on ambition, short on cash, and short on media reach

And/or. Plenty have some of those but not all, or at too stupid to know how to wield it. Point remains: we have an amorphous elite with contrasting interests who are constantly fighting because power is fractured among them.
Probably not on GPUs - think it all moved to ASICs years ago.
This is a really cool project, and I love the writing style.

I am also in the early days of writing a very primitive 2.5D Raycasting engine [0] (think Wolfenstein3D) and have just got to texture mapping. Very fun

Its open source and written in C, a pretty small and easy to follow codebase so far

That sounds like “step 2: draw the rest of the owl”.
They are categorically not, see the above comment on dual intent.

You can get a TN visa cancelled for expressing desire to stay permanently
You are repeating the talking point without including the number:

The number of those kinds of surgeries people claim to be "oh so concerned" about is in the low double digits--generally low single digits--normally zero in a year.

When you get to some medical procedure that incredibly rare, the medical indications are generally really, really unique and should be left to doctors. (breast implants in girls are simply not done until 18+ unless cancer is involved, for example).

Despite what people seem to think, doctors don't just do this stuff randomly (at least in the US). They can and will lose their license for doing this kind of thing unless they follow established guidelines. And all those guidelines dictate that this kind of stuff is simply not done until after 18 unless there are incredibly extenuating medical circumstances.

> Breast reduction for children IS in fact irreversible. It causes huge scars and trying to get breast augmentation later is not actually restoring their body to its natural state.

I have yet to meet a girl or woman who had breast reduction and regretted it. See: Soleil Moon Frye, for example. She had genuine health issues. And, even still, she had to fight with her doctors to get it done at 16 rather than wait until 18.

> Children who have been sterilized for life and have permanent scars.

Cite examples. I suspect vastly more children have been sterilized for life from circumcision complications than from any other gender surgery.
Prebaked lighting is a rather crude approximation that only looks good in certain scenarios. Correct dynamic indirect lighting provides a much better integration between different scene elements and better spatial cues. Movable and static objects can share the same lighting model and you don't get an immersion breaking situation where e.g. the one door that you can open in a hallway stands out because it has worse lighting. It is an overall win, not just during production.
I feel the same way and I think the writing is on the wall for the near future of the world. It is disheartening to see people on a forum like HN who I assumed have values similar to mine fall right in line with conservative propaganda and try to act like this isn't an overtly political action. This decision is political, and it goes a lot deeper than left vs right - its about attacking support for a baseline scientific 'truth' and fully accepting a post-truth world where reality is what the powerful deem it to be. This has always been the case to some extent but it has gotten so lopsided in the last decade that its hard to see how we come back from this.
Ahh! Thanks for clarifying!
So lets take one of the most expensive, labor intensive parts of our business and replace it with crowdsourced notes.

As of 2022, Meta employed 15000 content moderators. Expected salary of 70K to 150K per person (salary + benefits, plus consulting premiums) so lets assume 110K.

This implies $1.65B in workforce costs for content moderation.

Meta is more likely to make their earnings....

Though I wonder if they will redeploy these people to be labelers for LLMs?
The litmus test of this is whether they roll it out globally. If they do, Meta truly has seen the light; if they don't, this is just a cynical attempt to butter up Trump in case he regulates them into oblivion (as one could argue they deserve).

Zuck is making the right noises. Time will tell.

If it's wrong then it needs to be fixed, obviously, but only if you fix it in a way that ensures consistency and doesn't break existing functionality. But the article doesn't mention wrong code per se, just different code. There's always multiple ways to solve a problem, stick to one for you and the 999 other developers' sakes.

Your example is a good example; you call it a unit test, but if it hits a real database it's by definition an integration test. No mocked database will be as accurate as the real deal. It'll be good enough for unit tests (amortize / abstract away the database), but not for an integration test.
You can't use a NEMA 14-30 to power a PC because 14-30 outlets are split-phase (that's why they have 4 prongs - 2 hot legs, shared neutral, shared ground). To my knowledge, the closest you'll get to split-phase in computing is connecting the redundant PSU in a server to a separate phase or a DC distribution system connected to a multi-phase rectifier, but those are both relegated to the datacenter.

You could get an electrician to install a different outlet like a NEMA 6-20 (I actually know someone who did this) or a European outlet, but it's not as simple as installing more appliance circuits, and you'll be paying extra for power cables either way.

If you have a spare 14-30 and don't want to pay an electrician, you could DIY a single-phase 240v circuit with another center tap transformer, though I wouldn't be brave enough to even attempt this, much less connect a $2k GPU to it.

Hey I got laid off too. It actually has worked out as a positive over-all.

Job searching is a shit process though. I applied for ~40-50 jobs, only got 1 offer. Small country too, so thats basically all the jobs I could find. But landed in a really good company, and have a bit of a break before I start.

So I've been using all my spare time to learn Graphics programming, C, and Audio Engineering.

> Often the entire point seems to be to get those specific people spun up, realizing that the troll is not constrained to admit error no matter how airtight the refutation.

Your point is exactly why I can’t take anyone serious who claims that randoms “debating” will cause the best ideas to rise to the top.

I cant count how many times i’ve seen influencer propagandists engage in an online “debate”, be handheld walked through how their entire point is wrong, only for them to spew the exact same thing hours later at the top of every feed. and remember these are often the people with some of the largest platforms claiming they’re being censored … to millions of people lol.

it’s too easy to manipulate what rises to the top. for debate to be anything close to effective all parties involved have to actually be interested in coming closer to a truth. and the algorithms have no interest in deranking sophists and propagandists.
I tend to agree, which is probably why I don't have any tattoos, but my friends that do have them make me suspect that they may care about different stuff than us.

Most of the tattoos that I've seen are frankly uninspired. Dragons, flowers, skulls, knives. Some of the more unique ones are album artwork, but how creative is that really? Yet nobody seems bothered by this, they all show them off proudly! (There are some exceptions... My cousin had a full sleeve of Freddy Krueger making the pussy eating symbol with his blade fingers that was probably the crown jewel of some artists portfolio. An odd choice to be sure, but an impressive piece of work.)

I've come to believe that the draw here is the act of personalizing one's own body, not the quality of the art.

Orange juice is high in sugars. Drinking any alternative beverage with a lot of sugar is bad for your health. I believe a 12 ounce glass of orange juice is 100% of maximum sugar intake for one day. If you drank orange juice the same way you drank soda with added sugar, the health effect would be equally detrimental.
Very few, if any, billion-dollar corporations are in any way “extreme left wing”.

But that is not “by definition”. The definition of a “billion-dollar company” is that it is valued by investors at a billion dollars. That definition has absolutely nothing to do with its political leanings.

“Vanishingly unlikely” sure. But not by definition.

Ask HN: How to let go of ego in creative process?
Hi,

I feel like being smart is huge part of my ego/identity and it makes it hard to work on any creative pursuit.

- immediately thinking about the final result.

- thinking how it wil be received by other people. Is it cool enough?

- expecting quick success and feeling frustrated and discouraged if I'm not good at something.

- quickly moving from "I want to do X for fun" to "I need/must do X because I already committed to it".

- always looking for a way to show the world what I did. To prove that I'm indeed smart.

- building the big narration around my hobbies/work, treating them so seriously and obsessing about them.

I wish I could simply work on my personal projects for fun, without such pressure. Do you have any tips/materials?
I'm not really a twitter user (I just get posts from friends occasionally), but I think community notes is actually an awesome feature for a social network.
I think its amazing that posts like this exist, and more should definitely be written so that people don't feel powerless after a layoff. Too often we tie our identity to institutions and it isn't doing anyone any good (well maybe it helps the shareholders).
These are two different concepts though; reducing dependencies is good, but you can have minimal dependencies AND have the code look / feel / behave like the rest of the codebase. Always remember, it's not your code. Assume someone else will need to read / maintain it. Thousands might. You might have made the perfect section of code, then get an offer you can't refuse or get hit by a bus.
Yeah, that’s true - it’s integral because an EV retains all of its components throughout its lifespan.

If we consider an ICE car’s fuel as a “component”, then it’s an interesting comparison: fuel is basically maximally degraded - it accumulates as much “wear” as possible - and then it’s jettisoned so what remains attached to the vehicle is comparatively less worn.

To be fair, the previous engineers got paid to write the legacy mess and were employed for a long time if there's a lot of it.

Where is the incentive to go the extra mile here? Do you eventually put up with enough legacy mess, pay your dues, then graduate to the clean and modern code bases? Because I don't see a compelling reason you should accept a job or stay in a code base that's a legacy mess and take on this extra burden.

Honestly Go's approach to code formatting and it being taken over by other parties has saved so much trivial debates. I remember spending stupid amounts of review comments on stupid shit like formatting, trailing commas, semicolons, spacing, etc that should have been spent on more important things. How come automatic, standardized, non-ide bound automatic formatting has only been a thing in the past decade or so? I do recall Checkstyle for Java ages ago but I forgot if it did any formatting of its own.
You can path-find using only vertices and a can-see function to generate a-star successors.

The convex hull is just where the paths will go if it has to go around an obstacle.

So if your maze is specified as obstacles take the vertices. If your maze is specified some other way it depends how expensive it is to translate it.

What you're suggesting is fine and well and good, but it will in an asymptotic analysis do more work than double ended a* that only expands successors for intersections.

Think about all the iterations where the expanded state is just one more grid cell closer to the end of the hall, vs just jumping to the end of the hall. If you limit to counting only iterations, a geometric approach is faster (vs grid).

That may not be the best way to do it in practice.
It's also way harder to implement because let's face it everything is a grid.
