"There are many scientists out there that believe in that. "

Not any GOOD ones.

"They are not scientifically ignorant, "

They are actually.

" they just believe different stuff from you, "

They believe very stupid things directly at odds with all evidence. All of modern technology is a result of the exact same logical thought that led to the theory of evolution. If you reject it where do you draw the line? Do you reject fusion in stars because there is no reason for them to last so long?

"People forget that we often know a lot about stuff, but then we discover more stuff which totally changes the stuff we knew and so on."
> Few will answer “yes.” And everything else flows from the "no."

Everything else has flowed from the "no", but I do not think it needs to have. Imagine the government being a definitive payer of last resort, instead of this unfunded mandate where hospitals have to provide emergency service for free but then receive a bunch of regulatory capture to make up for it.

That still leaves an avenue for hospitals to defraud the government about how much providing that care cost, and emergency care has that dynamic intrinsically regardless of who is paying. But that's still leaps ahead of basing the entire industry on a foundation of billing fraud shakedowns. And it would be a lot harder for emergency departments to claim exaggerated fraudulent costs when the rest of the hospital is charging much less.

The vast majority of care is not life saving emergency treatment, and this is where the brokenness of the current system gets really galling. For example I just had a specialist declare that the proper course of treatment is to follow up in 12 months. I nudged them that 12 months seemed like an awful long time, but they held fast. I would happily pay for another check in 6 months if the system would let me. But instead, the concept of patient agency has been completely scrapped in favor of top down "necessary" and "not necessary".
That's the glaring issue with all of these AI "features". If it can't be trusted to produce something that is both accurate and complete, it's generating negative work for whoever has to track down and fix the problems. Maybe some people like cleaning up sloppy work from their coworkers more than just doing the damn thing, but I personally hate spending time on that and GenAI adds a whole bunch more of it to every process it gets shoved into.
>So the side that dies more has the moral high ground in your opinion?

No the side that has been ethnically cleansed and colonized for 75+ years and made refugees in their own land have the moral high-ground. Palestinians have every right to resist to the evil they have been subjected to for almost a century.

Yes, but when enough people who otherwise have little actual power get together to drown out "bad speech" with "more speech" it gets called 'cancel culture' and 'witch hunts' and is used as the primary example of 'censorship' on social media.
I know you are being downvoted (not by me). This is a good question, if all the context and history is removed, and we are only looking at who killed more.

I am trying to respond in good faith, but it looks like Hamas is accepted across the world as a terrorist organization for specifically targeting civilians. And as much as I loathe the loss of civilian life at the hands of IDF, this is not a conventional war, and Hamas hiding within civilian populations and tunneling under hospitals is on Hamas and not on IDF. Like it happened in history a million times, Hamas could've surrendered against a superior enemy and and returned hostages, to protect its own citizens.

So, that's why Hamas must cease to exist. Not Palestine itself, nor another government in Palestine - just Hamas. They could've stopped it, they didn't.

Let me know when IDF/Likud behave like this unprovoked (Yes, I know what's going on in West bank and its not remotely close to what Hamas did)

After studying the DPKG developers’ reasoning for using fsync excessively, it turns out that there is no need for them to use fsync on a ZFS rootfs. When the rootfs is ZFS, you can use --force-unsafe-io to skip the fsync operations for a speed improvement and there will be no safety issues due to how ZFS is designed.

DPKG will write each file to a temporary location and then rename it to the final location. On ext4, without fsync, when a power loss event occurs, it is possible for the rename to the final location to be done, without any of the writes such that you have a zero length file. On ZFS, the rename being done after the writes means that the rename being done implies the writes were done due to the sequential nature of ZFS’ transaction group commit, so the file will never appear in the final location without the file contents following a power loss event, which is why ZFS does not need the fsync there.
If you have too much free time, it may be worth reading the (long) "Debanking and Debunking" essay for an exploration of all of the perverse and bizarre behaviors that result from banks' fear of AML/KYC regulatory action.

My favorite example is how banks are required to file secret "suspicious activity reports" (SARs) about their customers. Even knowing about the existence of SARs can be grounds to get a SAR written against you. How's that for thoughtcrime?

Depends on where you start the thread. Before your comment, this thread was simply "this is US protectionism and not really national security".

After your first comment, this thread was "the USA are an information security risk".

My point is that of course, from the US point of view, China abusing its power is worse than the US abusing their power. But if you take a step back... why should a European citizen consider that what China is doing is worse than what the US are doing?

It has been proven that the US have been targeting European politicians with spying. It has been proven that the NSA was collecting private information about just everything they could (including US citizen BTW). The richest people on Earth control the biggest tech companies on Earth and are getting closer to the US president every day. Some of those people are actively trying to influence politics in Europe (e.g. promoting neo-nazis in Germany, I don't know if you understand what it means there). The US president is talking about invading Greenland, Panama etc. And you talk about links between the Chinese government and Chinese companies?

If TikTok is a strong national security risk for the US, then Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple are all strong security risks for Europe. But what would the US say if Europe banned those companies? Probably more "it's a free market, it's democracy, it's capitalism, you can't do that!" than "fair enough, we do it too, and China does it too", right?

That's where I find it ironic. The US promote free market when it's about having their companies in other countries. But when the roles are inverted, then the US behave a lot more like China than like Europe (by banning companies), don't they?

It’s a fair point if you disagree, like I do, that Hamas’s Palestine is a nation.

But the Hamas Charter makes alarming reading:

https://irp.fas.org/world/para/docs/880818a.htm

Some excerpts:

'The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.' (Article 7)

'The land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf [Holy Possession] consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgment Day. No one can renounce it or any part, or abandon it or any part of it.'

(Article 11)

'Palestine is an Islamic land... Since this is the case, the

Liberation of Palestine is an individual duty for every Moslem wherever he may be.' (Article 13)

- - -

Hamas are genocidal religious supremacists. Just because they haven’t succeeded in destroying the Jewish state doesn’t mean that they’re the peaceful victims in all of this. If they had access to weapons of mass destruction they would use them without a second thought. Read the Charter

The number of exposure steps would be unrelated to the (surface area) size of die/device that you're making. In fact, in semiconductor manufacturing you're typically trying to maximize the number of devices per wafer because it costs the same to manufacture 1 device with 10 layers vs 100 devices with 10 layers on the same wafer. This goes so far as to have companies or business units share wafers for prototyping runs so as to minimize cost per device (by maximizing output per wafer).

Also, etching, moving, etc is all done on the entire wafer at the same time generally, via masks and baths. It's less of a pencil/stylus process, and more of a t-shirt silk-screening process.

That is my question, essentially. Are cases like this (a year of repeating illusion impenetrable by relatives) a naive mistake or an undiagnosed cognitive disorder? Shouldn't people like her be at least partially taken care of?

My buddy had a similar case with his sister. She would take a loan, be late on payments and then give loan sharks anything they asked for, without any checks and balances. Could take family money, etc, only to get rid of them temporarily. She was clearly unwell and so impassable that the whole family had to part with her (legally splitting apartments and even taking a kid).

I'm not suggesting anything here, just thinking about it. Probably nothing generic enough could help here at all.
The implementation looks easier to handle than e.g. ECL or CLISP, cool.

Do you have an estimate how complete your implementation is?

How does the performance compare with e.g. ECL or CLISP?

Did you run conformity tests, e.g. with https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/ansi-test/ansi-test?
Yes, but isn't a big driver of layer costs the cost of the machines to build those layers?

For patterning, a single iteration could be (example values, no actual values used, probably only ballpark accuracy) on a 300M$ EUV machine with 5-year write off cycle, patterns on average 180 full wafers /hour. Excluding energy usage and service time, each wafer that needs full patterning would cost ~38$. If each wafer only needed half the area patterned, the lithography machine might only spend half its usual time on such a wafer, and that could double the throughput of the EUV machine, halving the write-off based cost component of such a patterning step.

Given that each layer generally consists of multiple patterning steps, a 10-20% reduction in those steps could give a meaningful reduction in time spent in the machines whose time spend on the wafer depends on the used wafer area.

This of course doesn't help reduce time in polishing or etching (and other steps that happen with whole wafers at a time), so it won't be as straightforward as % reduction in wafer area usage == % reduction in cost, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a meaningful percentage.
I think Wolfram might be one of the 1000 smartest people alive and he has accomplished many great things and is very good at math. But it really seems he wants to be thought of in the same was as Newton and Einstein. So he tries to find some new ultra fundamental theory to achieve this. His book A New Kind of Science failed so now he is trying with the Wolfram Physics Project.
> Last I checked solar without batteries is roughly the same price per Kw as nuclear.

You didn't check, you decided to cook the presentation of the facts.

Indeed, solar is not available 24/7. But it's not individual installations which need 24/7 availability, it's the grid as a whole; plus, energy use during the day and night differs, so even the grid as a whole doesn't need the same generation capacity 24/7. And - the grid has many different energy sources (i.e. not just solar and nuclear), some renewable and some non-renewable, which aren't daylight-only.

Which is to say there is plenty of room for solar installations irrespective of energy storage solutions. And indeed, those installations are taking place, and they are rather cheap.

> because they are Palestinian

No, this is not why. They are attacking because Gaza invaded Israel on 10/7, killing over 1200, injuring 5000, and kidnapping over 200. Notice how Arab / Palestinian citizens of Israel are not being killed.

> We don't need to wait for them to kill a certain percentage of the population to then be able to declare it a genocide.

I think this is a fundamental flaw of the genocide conventions. With this interpretation, you could call a single murder a genocide, if done with the intent of destroying a people (in which case, isn’t even murder of an Israeli by Hamas or other organizations whose intent is to destroy a genocide?). Obviously, this is absurd, and nobody is on TikTok raging about Hamas’ attempted genocide of Israel.

> You talk a lot about how nothing I say makes sense but that's just nonsensical on it's face, like... if these attacks are genuinely needed, why in the world would you warn people beforehand? Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose?

Yes, it does. It is in fact this attempt to do less harm that prolongs the war and keeps Hamas alive. To actually destroy Hamas, you would have to kill a lot more civilians. So Israel often settles for destroying weapons caches, tunnels, and structures they operate from.
Ask HN: How to get good at LeetCode if you suck at it now?
To be very clear, I am talking to people who used to suck at leetcode and didn't learn it "from studying for 6 weeks". I mean people who really sucked at it. How did you get good at it to where you could solve for most interview level questions (most mediums and some hard ones)?

Yes, I realize the answer is going to just be practice more. I already know all the generic answers to the question.

But it has become obvious to me that people are not telling the full story as to how they got good at it. You either get answers from people who I guess have been learning programming since they were children who say "just study for a few weeks then go interview". Those people are not who I am asking. There are clearly people who used to suck, followed some system for 6 months to a year, and finally got good. There is obviously some more efficient study plans some are following to get good at this.

What is the ACTUAL way to get good at it if you suck? What program or learning schedule did you follow? How long did it take you to do?

Assumptions: Assume someone already has a CS degree and assume they have some work experience already. This is not an issue of "go take DS&A class".

Thanks if anyone can provide some guidance on this.
More misinformation from the PRC defense squad!

They are, in fact, banned. It's not just that they can't operate like a normal business within China, you can't even reach the foreign servers from within China...because they're banned.

If a new social media network opens in Denmark, it might not operate in the US yet -- which means US laws wouldn't even be applicable -- but I could still reach it from the US without needing a VPN, because it wouldn't be banned either. Maybe it wouldn't be useful for me as an American yet, but I could still get to the website, because the US government isn't stopping me.

Many popular US websites are actually banned in China, whether you want to admit it or not.

That (security) was never Hamas' intention; they were worried about being forgotten, after Israel and KSA were close to normalizing relations, and now they've managed to gunk up the gears of any peace process, at the cost of 40,000 Gazan lives. So... a victory for Hamas? They've never been interested in peace anyways.
