Ok one more to add that is a kind-of an abuse of containers: Some compute cluster solutions (like those used for HPC) are using containers to manage software installations on the clusters. They are trying to unify containers with the standard Unix environment, however, so that users still see their home directory (mounted in the container) and other paths so that running applications in the container is the same experience as running it directly on the host OS. This is just a TERRIBLE solution. I much prefer Environment Modules or something like Python's virtual environments (if it worked for arbitrary software installs) as a solution.

I dunno .. a lot of the medical software like the one referred to in the software really were (are?) written on a shoestring budget by crap programmers. The last one I set up in the 90's used a MS Jet database backend on a CIFS networked drive ... as you can imagine, with more than one or two clients the thing was constantly freezing up due to CIFS clients issuing oplock breaks etc. trying to get exclusive access to the Jet database.

Gentrification of areas with music venues is a notable factor. It’s like a cycle. Very noticeable in London.

Place is cheap and kind of a shithole so it’s possible to open cool bars and late night music venues. People move there because it’s now a cool place. Prices go up. People complain about the noise from the venues. Venues close and are replaced with sterile overpriced crap. Place is now boring and expensive. See: Shoreditch as a fine example.

You're making the same logical argument people have made against wearing (and then mandating) seat belts, and in more recent times vaccines.

One of the likely reasons for millions of liters of plant-based drinks ending up in the shopping baskets of consumers is that their climate footprint is often lower than that of cow's milk.

Some degree of lactose intolerance and longer shelf life after opening are other likely reasons.
Good point. The other option is to use (1233*(64-lzcnt(x)))>>12 to bypass the first lookup entirely (not sure if this is faster or not), which works since 1233/2^12 is close enough to log_2(10).

You mean like a shell's while-do-done? It's just about allowing statements as the conditions, rather than just a single expression. Here's an example from a repl I wrote:

repl_prompt="${repl_prompt-repl$ }"
while
printf "%s" "$repl_prompt"
read -r line
do
eval "$line"
done
echo

The `printf` is your `prepare`.

This should also be doable in languages where statements are expressions, like Ruby, Lisp, etc.

Here's a similar Ruby repl:

while (
print "repl> "
line = gets
) do
result = eval line
puts result.inspect
end
puts
Yep, "back in my time", you could go to parties with then relatively famous DJ's (from gigi d'agostino, gabry ponte, etc., to our locals like Umek and Sylvain) for the entry fee equivalent of then ~2 street kebabs, and "club dj's" (local dj, playing other peoples popular music) for a price of ~1 kebab.

Drinks were a lot cheaper, but for most of us, it was drinking store bought drinks outside, then going in and having one or two drinks inside.

Now, an event like this, 60eur+ (~15 kebabs) for less known DJs, and you can't even sit down at a table/booth, you need to reserve those in advance and pay like 300eur (+ tickets.. but you get a bottle of cheap vodka and like 4 redbulls in the price). And it's a night club, a few tables and benches were always a must for those who either drank a bit too much or took a bit too much of the happy pills.
No, but the post implies a belief that many people will confuse the two. And it might be right.

This is fascinating. I've seen papers and demos on such implicit surfaces before (quite possibly yours), and while it's impressive what models one can build up with some imagination, I'd love to see something more than toy examples.

Would it be possible, for instance, to do the things possible in b-rep kernels like extruding a surface, or importing an SVG/typeface and creating a solid out of it?

I'd really love to see a fast, open source, kernel that can support such things and also parallelise well.

Even so, there are just as many models of "mid-size" trucks for sale in the US as "full-size". Ford has something like 5 different sizes of trucks, and size #3 is their best seller. If a size #0 suddenly showed up at the dealership, there is no reason to believe that it would destroy the market for size #3.

But there is every reason to believe that it would be popular!

No, you have a scoped pointer to dynamically allocated memory; when the scoped pointer is destroyed/cleaned up/released at the end of the function, it releases the allocated memory.
every solution is about tradeoffs. Of course you will be getting 500ns pings very low sd with wired ethernet. What matters is about the application and does the solution meet the needs of the application.

What I've been trying to communicate is that with adequate attention to the wifi hardware and configuration you can achieve excellent results that are adequate for VC & gaming .

that's it. Wifi will never reach wired ethernet performance on the junk bands that it is forced to operate on.

I've tried a yoga ball a few times before and found them to be too unstable / uncomfortable. I haven't compared since starting to use the Ariel 2.0 (for almost 3 years now), but I will say that I enjoy the postures that I can adopt while sitting on what is essentially a fancy stool. A yoga ball wouldn't have the same height or allow me to rest my feet with my legs at the same angle. It's probably important to note that the active sitting chair requires a desk with an adjustable height so you can bring the desk up to the correct level for the chair.
This is one of the dumbest ideas I've ever read.
Not quite the same but almost feels like the BEGIN block in awk.
We are on Hacker News and so a billion dollars ought to be rather easy to visualize for VCs and hackers: it's the compensation of the equivalent of ~350 L4 developers from Google for ten years. What could one do with ~3500 man-years of developer time at their disposal? Rather a lot and that's the point. Immense quantities of money are not about personal consumption but about the ability to do things and more money means more and bigger things can be done.
The original post is about synthesis and learning about synthesis. Not music theory or how to program an acid patch. Those are separate skills.
Think of a producer (a method that returns data each time you request one, like reading a file line by line or extracting the top of a queue for example) that you need to parse and process until you find a special element that means "stop".

Something like

do{
raw_data=produce.get()
data=parse(raw_data)
}while(data!=STOP){
process(data)
}

I'm aware this example can be trivially replaced with a while(data=parse(producer.get())){process(data)} but you are forced to have a method, and if you need both the raw and parsed data at the same time, either you mix them into a wrapper or you need to somehow transfer two variables at the same time from the parse>condition>process

A do-while here also has the same issue, but in this case after you check the condition you can't do any processing afterwards (unless you move the check and process into a single check_and_process method...which you can totally do but again the idea is to not require it)
I love these ideas! I've been thinking about the "fully relational" language ever since I worked with some product folks and marketers at my start up 15 years ago who "couldn't code" but were wizards at cooking up SQL queries to answer questions about what was going on with our users and product. There was a language written in rust, Tablam[0] that I followed for a while, which seemed to espouse those ideas, but it seems like it's not being owrked on anymore. And Jamie from Scattered Thoughts[1] has posted some interesting articles in that direction as well. He used to work on the old YC-company/product LightTable or Eve or something, which was in the same space.

I've also always thought Joe Armstrong's (RIP) thought of "why do we need modules" is really interesting, too. There's a language I've seen posted on HN here a couple times that seems to go in that approach, with functions named by their normalized hash contents, and referred to anywhere by that, but I can't seem to remember what it's called right now. Something like "Universe" I think?

When I was young, people had different political opinions and would still be friends and party and do things together. Only some odd fellows would make a fuzz and try to exclude somebody for politics, usually the opposite happened.

When we're older, then political affiliation starts reflecting more on a persons character. Then we've all been through (or should have been through) the different situations where politics have a real world impact on our lives that we can understand and relate to.
This article is paywalled for me and I'm thankful because the title alone has the scent of bait, ie. the post might be about a narrow case like large venue/big name dj events rather than dance clubs in general

If there is a 'decline' it's likely because there's been a 20 year surge in DJ events -- like some clubs either going 50/50 between live performance events and dj dance nights or out right choosing DJ nights over live performance because it's cheaper (no sound check, no load-in/load-out, fewer drink comps for individuals and plus-ones ....) -- and the era is cycling down. But it hardly means nightclubbing or dance clubs are done for. Even if the activity were in decline, mobile phones would not be the cause. People go out even when their city is being bombed
When I buy technology today, I'm 10X more worried about the manufacturer deliberately changing, killing or nerfing the product after I bought it, than I am worried about hackers compromising it. This goes for connected hardware, IOT devices, and software.

I’ve gotten a lot of spear phishing attacks, as far back of 2018, with emails that passed many verification checks. Getting representation to this issue is notoriously difficult because people assume an undiscerning victim and end user. They also rely on the false idea that scammers can’t spell or don’t spell correctly, specifically to weed out discerning people. When there is a subset that makes everything as legit and impersonating as possible.
Parsing names is like writing a time library. Sounds easy until you learn the hard way that it definitely isnt.

Some examples that come to mind from my experience are applicants with Chinese names that also use a western name professionally ("Yu-Chen Liew, but I go by Janet"), Spanish names that include patronymics ("Penelope Cruz Sanchez") and cultures that place the family name first ("Park Lee"). Maybe (f,l) = split(name, " ") works in some very homogeneous country like Iceland, but it sure doesnt work in the US.

Younger people don't seem to be going to these places nearly as much as generations past. I think a lot of this drop off can be attributed to Social Media & Tinder.

It indicates that you used your this other email for work purposes. The point is that they don't know what's in there, and they want to see if you discussed stuff relevant to the case.

But if it is discovered that you started sending work emails to that address...

I'm not intending to imply that the language I'm describing can't support heap-allocated memory; Rust shows us that it's even possible to do so without having to manually deallocate, if you're okay with a single-ownership discipline (which is a rather simple analysis to implement, as long as you don't also want a borrow checker along for the ride). Instead, this is about trying to make a language that makes it easy to keep locals in registers/cache, rather than relying on the compiler backed to do register allocation and hoping that your CPU can handle all that cache you're thrashing.
I think there's a lot of nuance here. I teach DJing (house/techno mostly) and there's never been more interest in electronic music & DJing. Folks who thought I was a bit out there in high school for liking electronic & dance music, have recently all now become more interested in DJing and raving. The DJ today is continuing to grow into the modern rock-star (albeit, in terms of real $ of music money, it's no where close).

Moreover, as several commenters have pointed out there has been a big growth in festivals and awareness. Lots of people talk to me about "house music" now, whereas before it was a relatively "underground" thing.

Now, I think there's a question about whether the scale of such events have maintained the same cultural ethos as the early rave days, and that, though I'm not old enough to have participated, is likely a categorical no. There's a greater focus on 'documenting' experiences at these events rather than living it. Here's a clip of an rising group called Kienemusik [tik tok link](https://www.tiktok.com/@as.anca/video/7359750430345186593?q=...), where you can see there's more video taping than dancing. I would venture to say, we are so filled with wonder sometimes that we forget that part of experiencing awe is letting go of ego and just experiencing.

The people who are actually interested in your product will generally want lots of information. Prior to the internet, how did they actually get that information? Overwhelmingly, through print advertising. If people who have no interest in your product see the headline and turn the page before getting to the body copy, that's no real loss; if people who are interested in your product have questions that aren't answered by the copy, that is potentially a very real loss.
Good piece. Possibly should have gone into Linux VRF while they were at it, much neater abstraction for ip rules and tables in many cases.
Was there ever any sustained science that claimed smoking was harmless? AFAIU, smoking was considered by the general population as not good for you health since at least the early 20th century, and before then as at least a vice (as was caffeine!). By mid century there was sustained scientific output showing clear links to cancer, solidifying cigarettes as an acute hazard to your health even if the scope and magnitude of the harms were less than we know today. Tobacco companies and their defenders countered this sentiment using the same tools used today--dissembling, whataboutism, and your basic FUD techniques. You can't look at ads promoting cigarettes and assume most people accepted what they're communicating at face value.

Anyhow, almost everybody knows today that, for example, eating too much sugar is bad for you, but the majority of the population still does it. That's how humans behave. Often times people do something because it's bad, taboo, or dangerous. And not everybody centers their lifestyle around good health; some people are just trying to get through the day. Today we still have doctors who smoke, dentists who drink soda, etc, though those particular vices are less popular than they once were. And let's not forget, while cigarette smoking has been in free fall doctors have been happily handing out prescriptions to smoke marijuana, even though inhaling marijuana smoke is at least as harmful as cigarettes (most people smoke it less frequently, but that's beside the point). Just because something is accepted as normal doesn't mean the harms are being outright denied.
This sounds quite interesting. I’m considering buying a telescope for this occasion (we moved out of the city and I’ve been thinking about it for a while, the sky is always so clear around very).

Ask HN: Why are 1.00-bit LLMs not used?
I've seen papers on 1.58-bit LLMs with "minimal" weights -1, 0, and 1, and they show good accuracy with much smaller sizes.

But I haven't been able to find any LLMs with strict 1.00-bit weights (just values 0 and 1). I guess one would represent negative values by having separate "positive" and "negative" matrices, then just adding/subtracting the results of multiplication. To me it looks like a very efficient solution:

1) huge memory and energy savings,

2) computationally dot product is just a POPCNT(A & B), and matrices could be laid out very efficiently in memory (a 64-byte cache line holds 512 weights!), so matrix multiplication should be very fast, too,

3) should run very fast on a CPU,

4) there should be no precision reduction against 1.58-bit LLM.

What are the downsides of this approach? Where could I read about it?
Exactly, here you are basically keeping it as a while with a condition but allowing it to be any code that at the end returns a boolean, although you need to make sure that variables defined in that block can be used in the do part.

Sidenote: I wasn't aware that shell allows for multiple lines, good to know!
