I mean, sure you could test over only part of the day, but if you do, that is, imho, bad math.

Eg. I could sum up 10 (decimal) and 010 (octal) as 20, but because they were the same digits in different numbering systems, you need to normalize the values first to the same base.

Or I could add up 5 GBP, 5 USD, 5 EUR and 5 JPY and claim I got 20 of "currency", but it doesn't really mean anything.

Otherwise, we are comparing incomparable values, and that's bad math.

Sure, percentages is what everybody gets wrong (hey percentage points vs percentage), but that does not make them not wrong. And knowing what is comparable when you simply talk in percentages, even more so (as per your examples).
I mean, that was exactly the way the job was described when I interviewed at Intel for a process engineer, and everyone doing the same job was at the time a PhD according to the interviewer. Did it change?

Being on call 24/7 to troubleshoot million dollar pieces of equipment sounded like a poor life choice, so I didn't take it. But Intel also hasn't exactly done great since then...
Incredible work, thank you so much! This will hopefully break down more barriers to entry for newcomers wanting to work with GPUs!
This is so disconnected from reality. They've gone from breaking ground to replicating one of the most advanced fabrication processes in the history of the world _at scale_ in about 4 years, but they'll be sending the dies off for packaging while their packaging partner comes online so its just political theatre?

Also, over half of the employees are local hires and the ratio will increase as more of the fab spins up. IMO it would be much worse political theatre to delay and balloon the cost of the project by forcing TSMC to exclusively use a workforce that has no experience with the companies tools and processes.
What do you think about those people in New York who didn’t want the Amazon headquarters there then? They were probably afraid of rent going up.
This is Jack Smith’s final report on the Trump election case, released to the public yesterday. I think Aileen Cannon and Trump cronies were trying to block it — not sure about the DoJ.

I am not that hardcore of a mech keyboard person where I build my own/lube switches.

I primarily use a Durgod Hades 68, I have to have the dedicated arrow keys on the bottom right. I have a bunch of others similar design. My problem was instead of buying as switch tester I started buying random keyboards with different switches so I now have too many. I also used to use the Apple magic keyboards those small ones with a cylinder battery holder.

How hard will this be to scale to up 50% of Taiwan production into the US?
It's fun to be part of big things that can make big changes as well. The ability to organise and bring other people up behind me as I was brought up into this business is also cool. Not as fun day to day, but I like being able to look back on the progress a big ship can make.

I was about to say, surly at some point in the near future the USA will introduce this capability. Shame they did not match each other in completion time.
Which rhetoric around Project 2025 specifically? Everything I saw claimed to be in it is actually in it, and Trump’s distance from it was complete bullshit.

I haven’t heard anyone say our justice system is primarily profit-driven, and certainly haven’t heard any notable mainstreamers taking that position. One could argue lefties overplay the significance/effects of commercial incentives, but I also think it’s defensible to say there should be (to the extent possible) no commercial incentives in incarceration whatsoever.
Ads are what make the internet a bloated mess. Ads are why there are a thousand different results for “roasted broccoli recipe”, because they are all trying to get me to pick them so I can see ads. Its why each one is 5 pages of crap before you get to the actual recipe, so they can shove in more ads. Everything is stretched, duplicative, and needless complex, so you will move through as many ads as humanly possible.
I mean it's still a better model than, say, Adobe Photoshop. Even if corporations are contributing to it and making use of it, it still creates a useful tool for individuals that's less susceptible to many of the downsides of corporate products.
As long as you're healthy.
I can already see a big difference between "kids" that are now 20 and those that are 10: parents are now way more aware of how nasty and exploitative social media are.

Ten years ago parents had zero issue handing their used phone to their kid when buying a new one. Now many parents have a "no phone whatsover until at least 13 years old" (some even pick an older age).

Schools too: it's very common now to have school with a very strict "phone stays in the locker or you get disciplined" policy.

I did buy my 10 y/o a "phonewatch" (I'm not calling it a "smartwatch" for it's really dumb). A real one, with its own SIM card (funnily enough it's a real, physical, SIM card, not an eSIM). So she can do what a phone what supposed to allow: give and receive phonecalls. Some people shall buy a dumbphone I guess. Works too. That watch's screen is so tiny and pathetic that it's impossible to anything with it: no TikTok. No Instagram. No nothing. (we're in control anyway, with an app on our phones, of what goes on the "phonewatch").

Kid knows that she won't have a phone before at least 13. Maybe 15. That's the deal.

The thing is: as a parent, you are the boss and you set up the rules. A kid is not the boss.

We're no luddite: she's also one hour of Nintendo Switch play per day. She can have fun solving "code monkey" coding puzzles on a computer. She's allowed to watch a few Minecraft vids.

But mindless media consumerism no a smartphone at 10 y/o, like some of the other kids at school are doing as soon as they're not at school? No way. We simply don't allow that.

> How do you prevent the impact of social media on your children?

By being the boss.

P.S: as a sidenote good luck bypassing the DNS blocker I put in place without an admin account. On my LAN, I'm the boss too. No SIM: no SIM to put somewhere else. SIM subscriptions with monthly allowed data usage set to 0 bytes works darn well too (we've got one such SIM).

Not really, since I was in management for five or so years with not much code writing. Embedded programming -- never in my life. Swift -- briefly, when it just came out years ago, but modern Swift is extremely different. Rust -- sure, I guess that's what I'd been doing before moving to management.
I travel in Japan a lot and quite frankly Booking/Agoda have been comparable in most cases and extremely accessible for making reservations and even communicating with hotel staff.

I used to use sites like Expedia for flights but lately i just book those directly through the carriers and i think the experience on that end is better.
I tried Mastodon before Threads & Bluesky, and I can say that the lack of algo was the part I liked the least.

I tend to follow a lot of people, and like to see a mix of their posts. But on Mastodon, what I got instead was "who is posting right now?" I'm in EST, for example, which means that unless my Asian follows are up in the middle of the night, I will generally not see their posts on Mastodon.

Also some people post a lot more frequently than others, but in practice that means I want to surface every post of the infrequent posters to make sure I catch them. As another comment noted, the Quiet Posters feed in Bluesky solves for exactly this.

IMHO the pluggable algo design of Bluesky is the way to go. I already follow feeds that are based on manually-verified membership of the poster, content of individual posts, and on frequency of posts. I'm really excited to see what other algorithms people come up with.
I had the same thing happen to me. I tried running a script for a month without luck (Sydney region). What did work was adding a credit card to upgrade to a paid account - no issues launching an instance, and it's still covered under the free tier.
I switched away from Nix OS and eventually landed on GNU Guix, which I have stayed on for about 4 years now. One of the main reasons I switched away from Nix was because of the language, and how underdocumented it all felt. GNU Guix was a breath of fresh air, using a language with decades of academic backing outside of the context of Guix (SICP was awesome for getting into it) and the whole system is very well documented, with a nearly Arch-wiki quality manual built into the OS in the info pages.
While if you don't want to sign a contract with a foreign IT company in order to access those government services online, you have a lot of extra work ahead of you which used to be a lot easier.

Like, my eldest's school stopped using paper notices two years ago, and this month will switch to an app-only notification system, while I have no smartphone and in any the government can't force me into a contract where I would give up privacy rights just to have a kid in school. ... I hope.

So, paper and in-person visits for me, and some online purchasing banks (Klarna) don't support non-BankID 2FA, and a regular transit card.

And as of yesterday, school messages sent by email. We'll see how that works out.
This "shouldn't" be surprising. Smart people seeing a wider perspective, seeing the limits of mass-schooling and top-down curricula, seeing other social challenges, and seeing a better option? I live in Seattle; there's a reason it's one of the top metros with per capita private school enrollment and if it weren't for tech incomes, I'd expect homeschooling and homeschooling collectives to thrive. Comments here about neurodiversity needs are also on point.
And even with JS enabled, it now needs more network round-trips, which is noticeably slower, even with a very low-latency connection to the server. For example, loading https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/ takes 1.2s to display the posts (or 3.3s when logged in), with a warm cache and 5ms ping to mastodon.social.
> Can we agree that it is, at core, gambling? Like spending all your disposable income on lottery tickets?

Yes. Can we also agree that advising people to spend all of their disposable income on gambling is bad advice to make money? I think you’re agreeing with the post you replied to.
I on other hand prefer the added security from Europe from getting both from same agency. As long as they are packaged.
It's crazy that they do that only because "Google search bad now" or "Youtube bad now".
Interactive Brokers (one of the best) has margin rates that are 5.17-5.83% at the moment depending on the size of the loan. Whether or not you want to pay rates like that and be potentially leveraged in the market, is a personal question. Not sure what any of this has to do with terrorizing the economy though ...
So among Harris voters, the assassination was about as popular as a Trump policy. And yet here we have people trying to say it's popular among lefties. We do not deserve nice things.
Airplanes. They use airplanes. We are talking about microchips here, possibly the highest dollar per gram substance that exists on the planet.

The interest you'd pay just losing a couple days in transit time would exceed the cost of purchasing a dedicated private jet and the crew to fly it.
I got it to save, after fiddeling a little bit with the template and saving it.

I am curious though, when you get the token - theoretically can you access all my synchronized files and notes? How do you protect the token?

Adding Merge Tree compaction, a la ClickHouse, should solve this, right?
Somehow I wasn't previously familiar with about:compat, which led me down a rabbit hole to finding about:about. Great stuff!
That's not contradictory, though - such people are cultural conservatives, not economic ones, but cultural conservatism is precisely what people are talking about when they say that it's becoming more popular.
This is only accurate inasmuch as most salaried employees are overtime exempt for other reasons (e.g. because they are executive or administrative professionals). Paying employees a salary, on its own, does not make them overtime exempt.

I don't think this is a good place to go in with hard and fast rules. Every kid is different, everything change. What your kid wants and needs may be different from everyone else.

Having said that, my broad rule is to keep my kid from any social media where their peers rank them and give feedback. No FB, no Instagram, they can't host their own youtube channel, etc. That is where self-esteem goes to die.

I don't think I allow real-name accounts. I'm hyper-sensitive to online predators since a girl I know got assaulted by someone she met on 'words with friends'. My kids are lectured to boredom about personal identifying information and what not to reveal on the internet.

They are allowed Roblox and they spend a lot of time playing with their friends there. I'm happy with that, we do Roblox game night here ourselves.
I don't think so, but please go ahead and clarify if that is the case.
what is the meaning of doing this in the last week of the biden presidency? just trying to frontrun trump saying the same thing?
Of course, a lot of these platforms have no problem with such things against minorities or people without power. But if you're a CEO you've gotta be protected at all costs, you poor thing.

I wonder if they even realize they're responsible for this environment they've festered.
Are those education metrics even measuring the correct things? Many other countries have higher scores of educational achievement, and yet on average we ignorant Americans go on to be more productive and more innovative than any other major developed country. Just to pick one example, the USA develops about 80% of the new prescription drugs every year. Does it really matter if we can't integrate a function or remember when the Civil War started?
jrm4, yours should be the top comment.

I denounce Paul Graham's essay. At a time when our leaders - especially our thought leaders - reliably do the wrong thing, it's especially appalling that he has the wrong take on wokeness, transparently and self-evidently to appease Donald Trump and his followers in order to protect his financial ties to Y Combinator startups. That's low, bordering on unforgivable, and until he retracts his statements, I'm afraid that I've lost respect for him and his opinion in all other matters.

It's obvious that pg isn't schooled in the basic civic virtues that I assumed he was. Such as: in journalism one always punches up. That's perhaps the simplest litmus test to know if one is siding with the oppressor.

I identify as woke and progressive. I speak out against all forms of oppression. I call out othering such as sexism, racism, ableism and ageism. I watched political correctness rise and fall under the boot of capitalist authoritarianism. I witnessed the wrong people win the internet lottery and deliberately undermine everything the civil rights movement achieved since the 1960s, as well as the shared prosperity that the New Deal brought since FDR. I watched them monopolize our media, take over and corrupt symbols of what's possible like Twitter and Wikipedia, attack beloved institutions like the US Department of Education and Environmental Protection Agency, divide us on wedge issues in order to enrich themselves, and capture our regulatory bodies through lobbying and packing courts with judges and justices who toe the party line. I watched the winners sell out like pg just did. I watched my heroes fall.

I thought the readership of Hacker News was with me on this stuff. But I guess I was wrong. It's apparent that too many people here just don't get it. They don't work on their unhealed traumas, they don't seek equitable solutions. They just side with concentrated wealth and power, whether out of fear over their own job security, greed by hoping to be at the top of the pyramid someday, or through simple projection by not nurturing their own dignity and the power that their voice could have to shed grace and light onto the world.

If everything I just said is performative, so be it. I'd rather be on the side of peace, love and righteousness than whatever all this is.
One thing more that I should say. In the above post, I argued against woke ideology primarily from the grounds of its similarities to Marxism and its outcomes. What I left out was the assertion that its foundational propositions simply aren't true. That's the primary basis by which any system of belief ought to stand or fall.

The oppressor/oppressed axis is not the most correct or best lens through which to view society, because in truth, everyone is both. We all at times sin against others and are sinned against ourselves. We all fail to love at least some of our neighbors as fervently and generously as we ought to. In a sense, we're all in this mess together, and although helping and defending the oppressed and downtrodden is a noble and very good thing, it doesn't follow that entire demographics of people ought to be labeled as "oppressors" and opposed (in the same way that entire demographics shouldn't be intentionally discriminated against on the basis of the demographic variable itself--either directly or indirectly). Sin is individual, and should be addressed on an individual basis, since we each bear individual accountability for our behavior. From the government's perspective, individuals who have discriminated against people on the basis of race or otherwise oppressed people ought to be individually tried and sentenced through the court system. If that's not happening, hire better DAs and write better laws. If that isn't happening, engage in political campaigning and activism (with the right message), or at least support those who do.

What makes an ideology wrong isn't first whether its outcomes are bad, but whether its propositions are false. (Note the notions of good and bad themselves need to also be subjected to the truth test, which is why pure utilitarianism is fundamentally ungrounded to reality.)
Very neat explanation of solving these kinds of unique challenges, especially given how similar the illustrations were.

One question I had was, knowing how difficult it was to train the model with the base images, and given that the client didn’t have time to photograph them, did you consider flying someone out to the museum for a couple of days to photograph each illustration from several angles with the actual lighting throughout the day? Or potentially hiring a photographer near the museum to do that? It seems like a round trip ticket plus a couple nights in a hotel could have saved a lot of headache, providing more images to turn into synthetic training data. Even if you still had to resort to using 4o as a tiebreaker, it could be that you only present two candidates as the third might have a much lower similarity score to the second candidate.
Good write up either way.
Yeah I know, thanks. But ZFS still mostly requires drives with the same sizes. My main NAS is like that but I can't expand it even though I want to, with drives of different sizes I have lying around, and I am not keen on spending for new HDDs right now. So I thought I'll make a secondary NAS with bcachefs and all the spare drives I have.

As for ZFS, I'll be buying some extra drives later this year and will make use of direct_io so I can use another NVMe spare for faster access.
They kinda did. They had a general election in 2019, which the Conservatives won by a resounding margin.

It's not quite a vote on the actual terms of the deal, though I'd argue that's a pretty high bar to set. Negotiations are hard-fought compromises, and subjecting that to yet another set of fingers in the pie makes practically any agreement impossible.

There's a reason we have representative democracies. And the representatives chosen were clearly sent to make Brexit happen.

The original referendum was much too vague, and should never have happened. And the 2019 election wasn't really a great measure of the support for Brexit; it's easily blamed on Corbyn's many failures (and he promptly resigned).

But I'd say that Remain had about as many bites at the apple as is reasonable in a democracy. A whole lot of bad choices were made, and there's plenty of blame to go around. The UK democratically made a bad choice. And I don't know of any good way to fix the fundamental problems with that.
Among the systems I system-think about are systems that produce self-expression and systems that produce creative work.

Lots of people like to think about efficiency because thinking about efficiency is easier than doing work...and avoiding work is one of the definitions of efficiency.

Or to put it another way (and in the context of writing), thinking about efficiency doesn't put words on the page and what's in our heads is not the result of our creative acts.

Efficiency arises from the work, not vice versa. Self-expressive work arises from inspiration. The friction of inefficiency is often a symptom of important self-expression.
In Manhattan you might have an argument. They have the most extensive public transit system in the US.

Anywhere else, you're completely wrong.

Here in San Diego, a typical car drive of ~20 minutes round trip would take ~3 hours on the bus 8-(

Unless you're planning to walk to Minnesota and back (or where ever else you're going) in the current state of affairs you pretty much need roads...

p.s. Also with the "raise the taxes on this until no one uses it" argument, what you're really saying is "make it accessible only to the wealthy".
They mentioned them as a counterargument to "Too bad Git lacks a distributed bug tracker".

Which makes it a claim that those tools are git's distributed bug tracker.

A bug tracker and an issue tracker are basically the same term. So that's a claim that git has an issue tracker.

So when you come along and say "Nobody said git has an issue tracker in it." you are either wrong, or you're saying the words "in it" completely change the meaning of the sentence.

If it's the latter, that is a very unhelpful way to communicate, and is definitely splitting hairs. And honestly it's a strawman too because the comment you replied to wasn't using the words "in it". They were saying that you shouldn't say "git has" email. Which is a direct reference to the ancestor comment's claim. It was not hyperbole.

I'm not splitting hairs anywhere. I'm saying that the ancestor comment has the same meaning as "git has an issue tracker". That's not splitting. It's the opposite of splitting.
No, that's a common economy thinking flaw -- assuming there's a finite amount of work to be done.

Anyone who has tried and failed to find work during a recession knows that there is a finite amount of work to be done.
