I have been coming around to the idea that we should ban all* algorithmic content surfacing.

It's taken a while, but the longer we go down this path, the more clear it seems that it is impossible to design a content algorithm that does not have significant negative cultural side effects. This is not to say that content algorithms don't have benefits; they do. It's just that they can't be useful (i.e., designed to optimize for some profitable metric) without causing harm.

I think something like asbestos is a good metaphor: Extremely useful, but the long-term risks outweigh any possible gains.

I don't think this is particularly spicy. What posts are you thinking of? pg has criticized woke for at least a decade so that's not a new thing either.
>There is enough research linking saturated fat (beef tallow has a lot) to heart disease

Find me one where saturated fat is isolated from every confounding factor. There is none. They are epidemiological studies linking saturated fat from junk food (itself mostly comprised of processed carbs with a myriad of artificial ingredients) to heart disease. That's akin to claiming that dairy protein alone is bad for health because almost every junk dessert has some form of dairy in it as an ingredient.

I'm sorry that I didn't understand that you were joking. The problem, though, is, that many other readers won't understand that either and some will react by getting triggered (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42711424 and the replies there), so in the end it sadly doesn't make much difference.

That amounts to the same thing and ByteDance would present it as the same thing in their PR effort, so nothing material would be different.

Meanwhile, the kind of law that would allow a business to "operate" but disallow it from making money is probably close to unprecedented and would look like even more peculiar targeting. It doesn't really even make sense as operating a business naturally implies participating in commerce.
Yah I'd Bytes' chief use is avoiding copies when dealing with distinct portions of (contiguous) buffers.

To be fair - the US changing their mathematics education system has been worse for the mathematics program. The kids learning math now who don't learn from outside networks will be significantly worse off in mathematics by far.

Also there is no other way for people to learn mathematics then without doing the work to learn. This utopian idea that's bled into the education stream that we can teach math without significant amount of problems to practice on is kind of nuts.

Yes they’ll use more fuel than running on all engines. They always load the extra fuel that would be required for the maximum flight time with an engine out.

The extra fuel burn is due to the drag from pushing a non-working engine through the air, and from the rudder deflection to counteract the unequal thrust. It’s less of an issue on a four engine aircraft with a single engine out as they can increase thrust on the remaining engine on the side with the engine out.

Extra fuel burn is also required because a twin engine aircraft with an engine out can’t maintain the normal cruising altitude, and the higher you are the more efficient the engines are.

Thrust can’t be reduced much to save fuel because the speed margins at altitude are quite narrow - if they reduce thrust and therefore airspeed they’ll descend.

The problem: There are cultures that highly value education. Chinese for example. And then there are cultures where education either has much less value, or a different definition (e.g. considered highly educated if a person has memorized the complete Quran).

DEI. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The "inclusion" is a problem with some cultures. They bluntly reject being "included". They considered their culture as highly superior and want to include you into their culture. At the same time, they are not able to understand why their countries are shitholes and believe that the wealth and success of Western countries is just by chance and luck and culture has no play in that.

For starters:

* Rule of law

* open society

* women rights

* Democracy

* Market Economy

* strict separation of church and state

* No tribal culture

* Freedom is speech.

* And don't marry your cousin. Your cousin may be good-looking but trust me, inbreeding won't make you smarter.
That makes me wary. As any mathematician knows, "trivial" means solvable. "Nontrivial" means no one has solved it yet, but no one knows any good reason why it shouldn't be solvable in principle. And "decidedly nontrivial" means no one has a fucking clue whether it's solvable or not; best not try, unless you're Terence Tao or somebody, then... maybe.

So if I were your boss and you came to me casually describing a problem as "nontrivial" I'd be like... "so is the time frame gonna be years or decades?"

Owning a record player and a vinyl collection helps me reconnect with music and keep the inspiration up. I went digital for quite- years actually- but after the initial joys of discovering and collecting digital i found that my interest in music started to wane. It only came back after investing some time in my vinyl collection again though buying&selling.

I think it is healthy to keep a good part of ones life analog, detached from a computer screen or mobile device.

Alright I feel like you joined a conversation late and then didn’t want to scroll up the page to see where it started.

I wasn’t even talking to you.
It’s problematic to make assumptions about someone who isn’t here to speak for themselves. While the unauthorized use of medical samples without consent is clearly unethical, neither heroizing nor victimizing Henrietta Lacks accurately represents her role. The unique properties of her cells don’t justify their collection and use without permission.
Data sovereignty — the idea that every country should protect and prevent its citizens’ data from foreign entities.

We never discussed this seriously before because we held a monopoly on it. For decades, other countries provided us with a direct feed of their data. Only recently have they begun to grasp the ramifications of that.

China never bought into that narrative. They have consistently upheld their data sovereignty policy, requiring foreign entities to host servers within their borders to operate, and that looks like the direction the rest of the world is heading.

I wish for an open world where data & communication flows freely, but it's unclear who can be trusted to wield that power.
This is completely untrue, there are unlimited examples of speech that exists out there that you have absolutely no inherent right to hear, and in fact many existing laws explicitly support restrictions on your ability to hear the speech. Just a few examples off the top of my head; do I have the right to hear:

* A comedian at a paid event when I haven't paid

* Private conversations between you and your significant other

* DMs between other people on social media

* Podcasts published exclusively on Spotify when I don't have a membership

* Speech in walled gardens (FB, Insta, X, etc) where I don't have an account

> I never saw a kid that can't ride this instantly.

As a data point, we tried this with my son, who is physically very capable if not advanced, and despite many attempts over months, it never clicked for him. We eventually went the training wheels route, which he instantly adopted, and once he was comfortable on that for a while, he learned to ride without them in a single session.

We've since met other parents who had similar experiences, so I think it's definitely not a universal thing that balance bikes are better or even useful.

If you'd like an example of how this can be done, Swift's AttributedString type is exactly that. It manages the association of runs of attributes (font, kerning, color, etc.) with Unicode text, and its backing storage uses a rope type provided by the swift-collections package. (The rope module itself isn't stabilized yet, so it's really only used for AttributedString at this point, AFAIK.)

The only reason social media is popular is Americans are too lazy to find stuff on the open web. They'd prefer the lazier option of the single web site deciding for them what to see and think about.

I didn't say that home schooling produced poor social skills, and in fact said something like the opposite. My point was that traditional schooling was a perfectly fine way to learn social skills, as a side effect of being forced to socialize. If home schooled kids and traditionally-schooled kids have somewhat similar social skills, and (as you say) teachers in public schools aren't teaching these skills directly, how do you suppose kids are learning them?

Right choice is to use e-ink tablets, not to switch back to text books.
I think you've just become primed to reflex on seeing the word rust. The Readme has only 2 uses of the word rust: the header, and in the features. One tells you the language the library is for, the other is used as context for a type.

It’s entirely possible that it’s a coincidence, groups of people share genes in common. It’s actually rather unlikely that a gene, especially one that seems to confer some resistance to the effects of a virus, would exist for only one group of people in the entire world.

I would love to hear about my leaps in logic honestly.

Nobody is saying that it was definitely ethnically targeted, but it IS plausible. Just because the ethnicity involved makes you uncomfortable doesn’t mean that it’s not possible.

Your comment suggests it’s an outrageous notion, but if that’s true then just give a decent argument why it’s actually outrageous.

Chinese leadership have specifically mentioned ethnically targeted bio weapons:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_bioweapon

>In 2017, a textbook published by the People's Liberation Army National Defence University called the Science of Military Strategy debuted the potential for biological warfare to include "specific ethnic genetic attacks."[10][11] The same year, former People's Liberation Army general Zhang Shibo authored a book that concluded that "modern biotechnology development is gradually showing strong signs characteristic of an offensive capability," including "specific ethnic genetic attacks" (特定种族基因攻击).[10] In 2020, a professor at the same PLA university spoke of the "huge war effectiveness" of a "targeted attack that destroys a race, or a specific group of people."
Apparently it's actually an effect of the thread precessing into the hole. Interesting.
It was a bit of a strawman question anyway; as someone who could review the source myself but wont (because the pain-to-utility threshold is way too high) I am then required to place my trust in some ad-hoc entity (the open-source community), that doesn't actually have a financial disincentive to make sure things aren't bad.

I have other reasons, perhaps, to prefer open source stuff, but I am not ready to assume it is inherently more private or secure.
I was reminded of that when reading, went to look it up on Youtube, clicked share, came back here to see if anyone had left a comment... "search news radio" yep... glance at the query... 'v=y-y...' Yep.

I really like the direction you’re taking. Product Hunt can feel like it’s run more for the benefit of the maintainers than for the community. It’s their service, so fair enough, but it also means users sometimes lose out. And let’s face it—there’s definitely some gaming of the system going on.

Your approach seems promising. Have you considered taking it even further, maybe by making the platform more decentralized or democratized, kind of like a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization)? That might align the incentives more directly with the indie maker community and help keep everything transparent.
In any case, I’m glad to see new ideas that give smaller products and teams a fair shot.

Keep at it!

I definitely agree that just giving kids a laptop/chromebook instead of books is not working. My own child and her friends just don't have the focus required, and easily get distracted out to email, group chats, everything else going on right next to the text.

That said, one thing I appreciate is that she doesn't have to lug around 30lb backpacks like kids did when I was a child. We had lockers, but realistically they didn't provide adequate time to utilize them, so everyone just carried around all their books for the day. Most of us hunched forward because of the weight.

It seems like something like a dumb ereader would be a good middle ground? Put all the textbooks into one place, but don't give it the ability to do anything but read? That or keep the textbooks in the classroom and share.
I find it appalling that parent who can afford a private school, even with much sacrifice, would instead send their children to a a public school.

Probably not. The accuracy with which you know the pointing of the telescope probably also plays into it (unless the FOV is large enough to have other stars as a reference?), and you can do subpixel positioning of objects to get more accuracy than full pixel steps.
Solves, asks, learnings.

It was a surprise when I discovered just how much negativity and frustration wells up in me when I see verbs turn into nouns when there are already perfectly serviceable nouns available.

I am motivated to passive aggressively retaliate by turning even more verbs into unnecessary nouns: seeings, helpings, deliverings, discussings, respondings.
In one word, yup. My solution: In class put head down and just ignore the teacher. I DID want to learn the good material (math and science) so DID that in the one hour of daily 'study hall' and when I got home. And, with this approach, in math and science did quite well in aptitude tests and achievement tests. Those test results, and NOT what the teachers said about me, got some higher-ups to send me to summer advanced math/science programs.

That self-learning approach served me well in school, work, and life to the present.

The plane geometry teacher was one of the worst. We had a disagreement: She thought that in her subject she was superior, a lot better than the students were (actually, not for long!), regarded the students as subordinates, and tried to intimidate us. So, I communicated with her only a few times but then was showing that I was better in the subject than she was. I.e., one reason I worked hard and DID learn well was to show up the teachers, show that they were NOT better, even in their own subject, and keep them from being nasty to me, trying to subordinate me.

Since my brother wanted me to go for the football team, I did. The coach was no help at all and treated me with contempt. I was not any good at football, didn't try self-learning, but the coach was no help. As part of dumping on me, the coach gave me an old helmet, not effective, unique on the team. One day another player gave his elbow to my head, and I hit the ground maybe a little hurt. In one word, the coach was a bully. To heck with that: I quit the team.
Show HN: Beating cuBLAS in Single-Precision General Matrix Multiplication
This blog post focuses on an SGEMM implementation that outperforms cuBLAS with its (modified?) CUTLASS kernel across a wide range of matrix sizes. The blog delves into benchmarking code on CUDA devices and explains the algorithm's design along with optimization techniques. These include inlined PTX, asynchronous memory copies, double-buffering, avoiding shared memory bank conflicts, and efficient coalesced storage using shared memory. The code is super easy to tweak, so you can customize it for your projects with kernel fusion or just drop it into your libraries as-is. If you have any questions, feel free to comment or send me a direct message - I'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions you may have!
