Many jurisdictions have the same punishment for attempted murder and murder though.

I get that there are different views on how much punishment should be based on intent vs outcome. My opinion is factoring in outcome in criminal sentences is often pragmatic, but if we had omniscient judges, judging on intent would be ideal.
Slightly relevant but they are also in the game of commercial mathematical optimization solvers and this year they reached parity with the sota American ones (ibm cplex, gurobi, Fico Xpress).

It is that bad that all the American companies withrew from the public benchmark library. You can only see there Chinese commercial solvers and open source ones.

>You know that Hitler ordered Aktion T4, and conclude that Hitler wants to kill people. Then, you learn that he opposes smoking because he doesn't like it killing people. You shouldn't start doubting that he's the sort of guy to sign mass death warrants: you've learned some information about his internal thought processes, but it's not very useful information if you want to predict his future actions.

you've just described orthogonality between his stance on smoking and his real-life mass-murderous actions. And as far as i see it is very objective orthogonality.
In this case the race is to win and secure the supply chains.

The microprocessors concerned are very high value goods, manufacturing and R&D for them can't be easily and quickly spun up on a whim. The country and companies first to start them up and win will secure the supply chains, and once secured it will take monumental money and effort to reconfigure them. A lot of money is at stake, in other words.

Geopolitically, it also means that the country who secures the supply chain also gets to quite literally write the rules regarding who and where the microprocessors can be sold to and exported. Either the US or China gets to decide who can buy the microprocessors depending on who wins the supply chain.

Just like Nvidia was the first past the post and now enjoys absolute incumbency advantage, whichever country (namely US or China) is first past the post in the "AI" industry will enjoy absolute incumbency advantage.

I feel like this would've been better as a VSCode extension. Copilot, Q, Gemini, all were able to take this approach. Also, VSCode isn't considered a full IDE and adding some AI features isn't enough to change that. It seems like they forked VS Code just for the ability to say they "created an IDE" in the same way other projects fork Chromium to "build a browser".
I wondered if we map English letters to digits (a=0, b=1, c=2, ... , z=25) is there anything which is both a palindrome in its English form and in its number form, and prime? I took a list of palindromes from Wikipedia[1] and tested them, and yes:

deified 3485843

bib 181

did 383

I note that none of them use letters which map to double-digits (k=10, l=11, m=12, etc.); none of the palindrome sentences make palindromic numbers (ignoring case, stripping all punctuation); could there be one which does?

Automation doesn’t mean life has zero cost. Even when it is extremely efficient.

And efficient machines earn for their owners. Not for the unemployed.

Also, efficiency increases the demand and price of resources. Including land.

This is especially true if there is extreme inequality, meaning a minority are benefiting from the savings and increased leverage from efficiency improvements. Increasing their lifestyles, but more significantly and endlessly, their need to compete harder with each other to maintain the value they have.

That self-reinforcing loop is already in full force. It’s just going to cycle faster.

We don’t tend to question that ever present reality in the wild, when we consider other species and individuals of other species.

For good, or ill, the human condition is about to change radically.

"For example, to state a claim for unjust enrichment in New York, a plaintiff must allege that (1) defendant was enriched; (2) the enrichment was at plaintiff's expense; and (3) the circumstances were such that equity and good conscience require defendants to make restitution.[1]"

Of course that (3) is the contentious point typically, but you haven't even gotten (1) right. How does you reading my comment provide value to me?

It's also funny that, excluding the element of a relationship previously existing, This is the way most business on an hourly basis is made.

Suppose you have a lawyer, you agree on 300$/hr, then you ask them to draft a contract and pay them 600$/hr. If someday you are imprisoned and your lawyer is contacted by law enforcement, and they have to bail you out of jail. They would typically send you an invoice even if you didn't solicit that specific service.

While it's not insignificant that you had a previous hourly arrangement for a different type of work, it's certainly not a sufficient reason to claim that you owe them for their time and bond monies.
Given the fact that there are so many Musk apologists and "anti-woke" crusaders in the HN community, most notably Paul Graham, they probably won't do it.

This stood out to me as well. The author must have a particular understanding of REST that differs from the usual sense in which it’s used. He might be technically correct — I haven’t read the primary sources related to REST — but it distracted from the meat and potatoes of the article, which is really a comparison of gRPC and OpenAPI. It seemed very strange for this reason.

Yeah, I never understood the blind worship of REST. It's just another API style.. and not a good one at that. It is the way it is due to browser limitations.

To avoid the complexity you mentioned, one would have to adopt some other tool like OpenAPI and it's code generators. At that point, you might as well use something simpler and plain better: like gRPC.

This is the context:

> They did, it's called core. But it assumes no operating system at all, and environment variables require an operating system.

I think there's some confusion here. The C standard library is an abstraction layer that exists to implement standard behavior on hardware. It's entirely unrelated to the existence of an OS. Things like "/proc/$PID/environ" have nothing to do with C.

There are many standard libraries, for embedded, that implement these things, like getenv, on bare metal [1].

Standard C libraries exist to implement functionality. It does not define how to implement the functionality. That's the whole point of C: it's an abstraction that has very little requirements.

The implementation of environment variables don't require an OS. If they made this "core", they could trivially implement the concept.

I quit my job as a dev to care for my father who has dementia. Using COBRA and paying for the identical health insurance I had from my employer is $1,000/mo. I have no dependents. California minimum wage annual income is ~$32k. Almost half the income of someone who works a shit job. I'd say that almost 50% of minimum wage just for the privilege of going to a doctor when I have a problem is rightfully a pretty big deal.

>* Select your color temperature based on needs and feeling. A lot of people prefer warmer color temperature lights and cool temperature lights are known to be more stressful for folks with anxiety-related conditions, but if your work requires accurate color representation, or you find yourself mentally trying to compensate for color temperature, then change the temperature to what you find most productive yet relaxing.

This is huge. I personally can not stand warm color temperatures in my office or bedroom, I know all the colors are off and it aggravates me to no end. On the other hand, I can't stand cool color temperatures in the dining room because it doesn't lend well to eating comfortably. And in either case, I can't stand warm color temperatures on any monitors/screens or televisions because of the same reason as when I'm in my office or bedroom.

Use color temperatures that suit your preferences, going against them just because someone says it's better for you (eg: red shift at night, aka blue light fearmongering) is patented bullshit.

This article is more of a marketing / paid endorsement for"gRPC" than something that is speaking any truth. The article mentions that "the least used" API method is REST, and I would argue, as would almost any developer (except google employees) would argue that gRPC is the least used and REST is by far the most widely adopted method.

As someone who made a competing product along these lines (that got no attention or traction): Tailwind gives CSS a "place" in the codebase. It benefits orgs, not necessarily apps. I didn't get it at first either. But it's very useful to the people to whom it's useful.

Well, you see laws of physics and periodic table doesn't swap out every time there's a change in administration. Neither are field effect transistors swapped out for vacuum-tubes with a different ruling party.

That makes a pretty good first order approximation of what is and isn't scientific, and worth spending taxpayer dollar on.

Science isn't prescriptive (doesn't tell you what to do), it's descriptive. Prescriptions are policy and have nothing to do with science.

No, not because covid. Obama's second term decreased the amount of deficit added each year. Since then (excluding drop after 2020/2021) the amount has trended upward every year.

I guess you could say less deficit was added during Trump's first term (excluding covid), than in Obama or Biden's first terms. Not sure that tells us anything useful though.

There hasn't been an actual deficit decrease since 2001 though.

I like this article format. Here, let me try. In my opinion, there are three significant and distinct formats for serializing data:

- JSON
- .NET Binary Format for XML (NBFX)
- JSON Schema

JSON: The least-commonly used format is JSON—only a small minority use it, even though the word JSON is used (or abused) more broadly. A signature characteristic of JSON is that the consumer of JSON can never know anything about the data model.

NBFX: A second serialization model is NBFX. The great thing about NBFX is that nobody has to worry about parsing XML text—they just have to learn NBFX.

JSON Schema: Probably the most popular way to serialize data is to use something like JSON Schema. A consumer of JSON Schema just reads the schema, and then uses JSON to read the data. It should be obvious that this is the total opposite of JSON, because again, in JSON it's illegal to know the format ahead of time.

They claim their technology is about "Rayleigh scattering" but I think that's mostly marketing mumbo jumbo. Sure that might add a bit of diffuse blue but their main secret, I would bet, is parallel rays which explains why their fixtures require so much space above the ceiling to get around conservation of etendue. The effect of parallel rays and sharp shadows are definitely represented in their example pictures.

I feel silly asking, but what do you use 10gig for? That speed sounds insane; I get maybe 800mbps and I've basically never felt like the speed is too slow. Most consumer devices are still on gigabit Ethernet at the fastest, no - or am I just badly out of date?

Heck, anywhere above a few gigs, I feel like you'd start getting bottlenecked by whatever's on the other end of the connection.

Still, pretty cool to hear that the option exists!

It's interesting to compare with the result without covariance. The probability of > 2 sigma positive in 0.0228. The probability to get > 2 sigma in 3 variables is 0.0228^3=0.0000118=0.00118% or 118 per million. With the correlation they get 85, that is unsurprising.

Calculating the exact number looks like a nightmare. I'd try with Wolfram Alpha and hope it can integrate it numerically. Otherwise, I'd use the Montecarlo method, that is equivalent to their method, but they use "N = 20 million" that is pretty small, I think with a x1000 the calculation still takes less than a second and the error would be like 30 smaller.

I mostly do RCA, and at first I thought that maybe generative AI would be able to take a system report or a core dump and spit out something useful. It can't, though.

It's interesting how some "lower-level" work might be able to outlast some "higher-level" work. Using expert knowledge to build out a system might get pushed out at all but the highest levels before AI is able to figure out why highly complex systems are broken (in new ways). RCA (beyond pattern-matching against KB articles) isn't very susceptible to systemization, because it usually only comes into play when something unpredictable happens.

NIH pays for work travel. When a person is paid for NIH travel, it's bare bones (cheaper hotel, cheaper tickets). It's for work- you go, you work many long hours drinking shitty coffee. Maybe at the end of the day there is some fun at a restaurant/bar but it's not paid for in the per diem. It was brutal- typically, if I travelled on NIH or NSF or DOE dime, it was a red eye from California to Washington DC, take cheapest possible transport to the NIH offices, then turn around and return the same night, so that I could go to work the next day (to be productive with little sleep so I could keep my job).

As for "non-wealthy": most scientists are not well-compensated. They spent their 20s and 30s working for very little pay (for example, in grad school my pay was $25-33K/year in San Francisco, and even as a Staff Scientist at a national lab, there's no way I could afford to buy a house in the area). They work punishingly hard jobs competing with super-ambitious people for fairly small amounts of money. I don't really see what your point is; breaking the NIH is not going to fix wealth disparity in the US.
Commanding a cruise ship should be simple. Just say "cast off" and "set sail for next port". How hard could it be ;-)

> funding much of the basic research

it's unfortunate that these funding don't actually bring in profits with which to maintain and continue future funding. It's why i somewhat dislike the publicly funded research model, because the commercialization of basic research is what leads to profit in the future, and this part is poorly done by gov'ts (or very well done by private parties looking to profit off public research).

I say that to change the system, these basic research should have IP associated with it, by which if companies use it, they pay a royalty after they achieve profit of $X (where X can be decided based on the research itself). It's obvious that taxes aren't sufficient.
Then, yes. But nowadays CSS is a lot more powerful and has caught up. So why bother with Tailwind?
