Restricting the slave owner to the state (+ leasing to businesses) does not make it not slavery. I can't believe I have to say this.
There's a simple constructive proof using high-school level thinking. ... Two different reals have different decimal expansions. Go out far enough that they differ. Since this is about intuition, let's just assume the larger one is positive and irrational, and thus has an infinitely long expansion. Since the truncation has a finitely long decimal expansion, it's rational. And it's between the two original reals. Q.E.D. ... A full proof for all cases can be built similarly.
Disagree, I don’t think Trump campaigned on abolishing OSHA, for example. I had people telling me not to take some of his more “out there” statements too seriously. Others telling me democrats were inciting division for simply pointing out that Trump seemed inclined to destroy the federal government — not to mention the lies about Project 2025.

My point is that while many like these changes, others definitely didn’t expect it to go this far. So let’s not act like most Americans actually want this.
This was the reason I gave up trying to change SF and left. It was clear that the locals like it dysfunctional and hate newcomers like me who want to change things. Then suddenly you’re the bad guy.
You probably don't want a reference field in a struct, at least to begin with. It's a lot easier to reason about structs if they contain owned data only, and you take a reference to the entire struct. There are some specific cases where it might be sensible, or even necessary to do that, but for someone who is still learning lifetimes, these cases are unlikely to come up.

I recommend reading Steve Klabnik's "When should I use String vs &Str?" post, which is generally good advice when deciding between owned data and references. The "Level 4" section covers the case of references in structs.
The applications of this technology in this particular space seem limited, given the inevitable demise of the internal combustion engine as a mass market technology. Barring any massive breakthroughs, thermoelectric generators are simply not efficient enough to adequately offset the heat energy losses in ICEs.

Yes, this is the book. Do all the exercises without cheating and you emerge as a much stronger engineer.

Also, I've flown a lot of Korean Airlines flights where they have front, down and side view cameras that you can watch on the entertainment console. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before more airlines adopt it.

The comment was merely illustrating the concept in general being used on planes, or at least that's how I read it.

i don’t want him even seeing the data, sorry. audit through the normal channels. or, failing that, go after the pentagon where the real fraud (and savings) are.
So we should move to a dead planet then? I'm not sure I'm following here.
Upstart's CLA definitely had an impact (Ubuntu even shipped an additional patch in the Ubuntu Upstart source package, because the author hadn't signed the CLA, so it couldn't be incorporated into the upstream), but Upstart had a pretty fundamental design flaw - the dependency model was entirely broken (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/44765...), and Scott James Remnant left Canonical in early 2011 before rewriting it. Canonical never really funded anyone in a position to fix this kind of thing, which didn't really give a positive feeling about long term technical maintenance.
The washing machine example is great, here in NL (from what I've seen) the tap drain and power points are (required to be) always exactly the same. The only exception is that it use to be required to wire it directly into a pull cord and now you may use a normal water resistant wall socket.

The same thing needs to happen in software, the freedom to do whatever you like has to be limited by reasonable standards. That way we can reduce much of the bullshit you run into. We do have all kinds of standards of course but they aren't usually required by law.

It's a bit like turning a lawless society into a one with laws, it has to happen gradually one [sensible] thing at a time. It might be fun to (for a change) keep the number of laws under control from the start :P
Really? A politician shouldn't be criticized or applauded within the context of the long-running political system that preceded him and just maybe, you know, possibly might have had something to do with his being elected, the choices he makes, and their social effects?

Don't be ridiculous. Decades of abysmal government in Argentina is damn important in any conversation about its current administration.

I have a close friend working in core research teams there. Based on our chats, the secret seems to be (1) massive compute power (2) ridiculous pay to attract top talents from established teams (3) extremelly hard work without big corp bureaucracy.
Why is NASA working on this?

The "NASA Global Climate Change" group will probably be laid off very soon.
Because they killed dozens of people and destroyed a town though lack of re-investment and monitoring their infrastructure.
Did you consider reaching out to that person and saying hi?
What you describe in the second sentence - rotating around the vertical-axis - is typically termed a spin .

I think parent was saying the roll was along the planes' length rather than tail-over-nose, the latter usually result in the aircraft breaking up as the torque will be really high.
I think you make a pretty bad case for how embedding a Scheme interpreter is going to help with the pain points of async. Listing "stack traces full of tokio code" and then seemingly proposing to solve that by adding more glue to pollute the stack traces is especially weird.
This is actually a great idea. I haven't used it to know how perfect the photo will be. The only concern I have around is privacy. Maybe you should mention that the photos get deleted from your servers after we download it.
This is on a revenue of $24.5 billion, so about 10% profit margin.
Which should also be illegal. It’s insane how much corporate money influences politics even outside of the more blatant stuff like this
The exhaust manifolds on the Land Rover series 2 2.25 4 pot engine are perfectly spaced to take cans - I always used to jam a can of beans, a can of sausages, and a can of tomatoes between them before driving the crew down to the boat club (20 minutes), and we’d have hot breakfast before our outing.

Take that, waste heat.
When the author needed to make a hole for the power cable, he drilled it nicely and fitting a plastic insert.

When the builders cut holes for the water hoses, they just spent 10 seconds hogging out a rough rectangle with a Sawz-All and then wandered off for a smoke break.

This lines up with basically all my past experiences so the pictures were entirely unsurprising

Hope is not an ideology, but it can be deeply comforting for a person to identify with an entity or process bigger than any person. Some identify with our civilization's process of scientific discovery and technological development.

Ideology is not the only motivation: many here hope to profit personally from the continued rapid development of AI.
It always amazes me that someone creates a "throwaway" account then continues to use it forever. The issue with your snark is that adding it undermines the first half of the comment which is a reasonable point. Yes short-term focus on boosting stock price is often detrimental to a century-old company and one whose products often last 40+ years - and especially when failure of those products offen results in mass casualties. So just write that. Talking about pina coladas on the beach and book royalties just makes you sound arrogant and "holier-than-thou" and reads like you're making an personality judgment about one individual, rather than the industry leaders as a whole.

> clearly made as sarcasm

It's not clearly sarcasm to readers. It sounds like a personal axe to grind which, as stated, undermines your overall point
Well, if all the interstates did have plenty of intersections, and someone proposed removing them all retroactively, would that not be an absolutely gargantuan undertaking at present, to the point where justifying it would seem fanciful?
One angle is they’ve been responsible for a number of major wildfires in California, so they should be reinvesting any profits in upgrades/maintenance/technology to prevent that in the future.
Good question, I decided to pace myself far from burnout and ended up only getting 90 years experience in 45 years.

It was still worth it in a scientific field which each year builds rather than eventually drops out of support.

There's almost nobody walking around with even 45 years of experience, and far less who made compounding progress.

It was hard to pull ahead to begin with, and never-ending effort to maintain, but once there is a tangible edge you can leverage, then it only grows over time.

I may be very lucky for good health right now, but maybe it can be due to not having a very similar social life, family, or diet, relative to the mainstream to begin with ;)
I'm not nielsbot so I obviously can't say for sure but I think I share a similar view that in an ideal world, they should only be charging what they need to survive (i.e. breakeven) in order to provide the greatest utility (pun intended) to the people.

However, it's not an ideal world, and things like disasters, grid upgrades, paradigm shifts all happen occasionally and tend to require mass amounts of capital to get through. So maybe not $0, but also probably not $2B :)
You don't need to be waiting tho .. the question is whether to deliberately go after big ideas .. Marc Randolph, founder of Netflix, specifically went after Netflix as an idea to be really big and make him a lot of money .. So did @pg with ViaWeb
Right now I'm wishing I had a transparent skull
Put (2012) in the title please.

Additionally, there are hybrid vehicles available in the market that utilize exhaust heat for climate control functions. Like Prius and RAV4.
don't the incentives seem wrong? they're limited to 10% margin so what's the incentive for them to keep costs down for consumers? they only make more money when the costs go up.
Sure, and now they can be replaced with regulators who are more “aligned” with Musk’s ideas — definitely no opportunity for Musk to make a decision that could make his companies billions.

Let’s stop defending this tech CEO wet dream of applying “move fast and break things” to the federal government.
They've been training the model for a while, right? It's unlikely he could have known Trump would let him rampage through the federal government when they started training it.
The article, while informative, is somewhat outdated as it was published in 2012.
He owns XAI.
This resonates .. I built top selling Mobile Apps in 2013-2015 and very quickly after making it to the top copycats came from all over and revenue dwindled.
libaom-av1 and libsvtav1 are both AV1, the former being the reference implementation and the latter simply far faster
Thieves stole mine in 2020. It was a Mitsubishi Carisma from 1996. They steal them because it’s fast and they contain expensive metals.

There are videos of thieves stealing them on YouTube, but we don’t have any footage.
That’s nor how hiring works in the federal government.

People on this website for years have defended cars driving into the bottoms of trucks, year long waits on basic car repairs, libel, etc because of the line that goes up on their stock holdings.
Other than comparing the sales records of two bands, concert attendance, or other numerical measures, it's hard to imagine your comment makes any sense. The Stones and REM weren't contemporaries.
What if you work on legacy code projects but use AI for that ?
Have you tried the remarkable and if so how does it compare? I don't think the remarkable 2 was anywhere near 60fps. But i think you can put nixos on it.

I think they put the new model behind a $40 paywall so less people use it. The model seems only marginally better than open source models, based on xAI's own internal tests, and they spend $$$ money for it to run. Elon talked in the second half about making one of the largest GPU data centers just to get this running. I guess the next iteration they'll be trying to reduce the costs.

Also, they will be open sourcing Grok 2, which is probably pretty behind at this point, but will still be interesting for people to check out.
They usually shut up when they realise the "previous team" was one of the founders who is paying their wage.

When your v1 code takes a company to profitability it was good enough.
Damn, it's pretty early while I'm reading this and in my tired state, not noticing the year in the title, I somehow expected an article about Sierra adventure game internals... A bit disappointed but still a good read on a completely different topic :)
I’d bet it’s actually a knockout and could’ve been tapped/broken out with a screwdriver and a hammer
This resonates .. intentionally going small may not be the same effort per se .. but because it's harder to raise money or you raise at like 50% dilution .. you're tight for budget .. all this adds up to be the same amount of work for the first few years .. this is actually a helpful perspective.
It really doesn't require math as sophisticated as the napkin kind.

Thermodynamics tell the whole story and it's so unfavorable that the actual range of achievable costs for energy input to DAC can vary wildly, and in relation to the prevailing market value of energy in general which is subject to major variation itself.

And still none of the actual dollar amounts really matter and can be effectively canceled so the moving target component can be conveniently overlooked numerically.

It simply requires the cost of the energy input to be a small fraction of the actual market value of that energy.

Whether or not fossil fuels are the primary factor which sets the market value at the time.

DAC only really works with remarkable effectiveness when the cost of the energy input approaches zero relative to its market value.

And once you've got that low cost supply of energy, then the "sustainability" of the process depends on your continued inability to directly sell your unmatched low-cost energy wholesale, and your commitment to forego dramatic multiples which dwarf the expectations of most shareholders of the oil companies themselves.
This to me is like saying "other than comparing all the available evidence about a rock music act, it's hard to imagine your comment makes any sense".
Well, it seems that there have been several crashes over the last few years where no on-site footage surfaced... whether there's any of this one or not.
They? There is no they. No plan. No conspiracy . Just a guy who gets up in the morning to write speeding tickets to fill a counties chest, while also filter feeding for outstanding warrants running into two armed psychos.The observation team (aka sigint fat dude) has zero connection to the traffic cop.
No worries, as the OP I added the old threads simply for my own curiosity.
Thanks for the link.

Yes, that's technically video I guess, but it's trash and doesn't look like the camera was set up to capture takeoffs and landings. More like a utility shed and road... at '90s webcam frame rates and quality.
Ah .. I thought about this, but I've found that most people who have hit "financial freedom" generally tend to lose momentum and lose drive .. fewer of those actually end up building something bigger .. just a personal observation .. although honestly it seems compelling .. but unsure how it will affect me / my friend specifically
If you had the power to make the laws however you wanted around universally needed basic services of electricity, gas, water, sewage, how would you do it?

Non-profit? Government run? Capitalism with minimal regulation? Capitalism with strict regulation? Profit caps? “Common carrier” type of deal to allow any player to compete in an energy market, trying to stop behemoth entities from monopolistic?

Very curious to hear from the non-US audience.

Personally, I lean towards gov run services for universal needs, like healthcare, electricity, heating, etc. But I am guessing the outcomes of whatever energy policy/regulations is the average of how the rest of society is doing.
When someone here says they don't like the news I assume it's because the only newsworthy topic in their mind is "Just how COOL is the new Iphone? Very!"

Twitter is well suited to deliver the newest developments on this topic.
Played this back in the day

It's neat how teens & amateurs will reinvent classic techniques — e.g. there was a technique in the community known as "dynamic clustering" which was really just K-nearest neighbor, but presumably whoever named it dynamic clustering had reinvented it from first principles and wasn't aware

Looks like the robowiki includes this tidbit now:

> Dynamic clustering is a technique to find entries in your log similar to the current situation. Essentially, it is a K-nearest neighbor algorithm, and not actually clustering at all. Despite this misnomer, the term "Dynamic Clustering" has stuck with the Robocode community.

I think no change across 40 years of life is not what either of us meant

Impaired by age is impaired by age. Don't try to move the goalposts. If you meant something more specific, you should have been more specific.

But How does 2020 Biden hold up to this test you came up with?

See above. I didn't come up with anything. 2020 Biden was fine. As for 2024 Biden, I don't care if he was a head in a jar, he and his cabinet were doing great.

I grew up about 3 minutes away from a big hardware store, doing projects all the time. This contributed to a very wrongheaded idea about how long projects take.

When I moved into my current house it was suddenly a 40 minute trip. For the first couple years I couldn’t get anything done on Saturdays because I’d never needed to optimize away trips to the store before.

In most of the western world it's illegal to excavate any significant volume without a bunch of permitting and oversight. Additional regulations surrounding living spaces. Plus the fact that you don't generally own the volume underneath your lot in the first place.

If you make it past all that (regardless of whether you selected the legal or illegal route) there's the expense of doing so safely. Then add on the expense of maintenance (by which I mostly mean water management).
I use a 10,000 LUX light therapy lamp in the morning and it does wonders for my mood. When I started, colleagues commented on my better mood without knowing about the lamp (obviously). It is amazing how large of an effect light has on us.
Casually worth noting the obvious: There are also services like Libgen and Anna's archive that are completely DRM free and have pretty much anything you can get on Amazon except, well, for free, aside from also being DRM-free.
It's a government audit, not a private company, so the results will be made public regardless. If the audit finds that the computer code is actually correct according to the laws, but it's the laws themselves that are illogical, wasteful, or easy to defraud, that is still quite useful for the public to know. I agree using Twitter is unconventional but again, it's an audit of a massive public program to which virtually every American who pays taxes contributes (except, ironically, many government employees themselves)
Every WiFi chip needs to be able to synchronize to the received signal down to a few I/Q samples (the remaining synchronization error is accounted for by the cyclic prefix of OFDM). For example, with 40MHz of bandwidth, there is an I/Q sample every 25 nanoseconds (the wave travels 7.5m during that time), so the level of synchronization will be on that order. The ESP32 reports the time of arrival, the code for extracting a nanosecond-precision timestamp is here: https://github.com/ESPARGOS/pyespargos/blob/main/espargos/po...

Additionally, you can use the phase information in the estimated channel coefficients (CSI) to determine the more precise time of arrival. Very briefly, a time delay in time domain will be visible as a frequency(=subcarrier)-dependent phase shift in frequency(=subcarrier)-domain. Now synchronization is only limited by impairments like thermal noise and phase noise. In practice in nice lab conditions, the time of arrival accuracy is on the level of <<1m.

On top of phase differences between subcarriers (--> timing information), we also measure phase differences between antennas, which provides angle of arrival and, with multiple arrays, phase of arrival information.

You can go even further by measuring phase differences between subsequent packets, which provides frequency offset and Doppler (--> velocity) information. I have some nice results on that, but that's a topic for the future ;)
That would push responsibility for identification & remediation every single vulnerability in the entire dependency chain onto every consumer. Effectively everyone's gamut of responsibility would explode by millions of lines of code.
Originally half-half, then later fully software. I don't know all problematic games but the ones I do know of had some hard coded expectations for the hardware that the emulator didn't fulfill.

Even going from original PS2 to slim PS2 some games (eg. Panelist) stopped working because the specs of the DVD drive changed.

And similarly going from original PS1 to PSone resulted in minor changes in GPU behaviour which caused display quirks in some games.
Show HN: Amurex – An Open Source AI meeting co pilot with Real time suggestions
I’ve already explained repeatedly that use of sudo is completely unnecessary with MySQL. As for the rest, that’s gibberish - for example I certainly don’t think MyISAM is fine for anything, and have absolutely never said anything pro-MyISAM in all the years I’ve been on HN. As for utf8mb3, I literally make widely-used schema management software that flags any use of utf8mb3 as a problem by default.

I have no idea why you keep replying with non sequiturs, but I’m going to stop responding now, as you don’t seem to understand anything I am saying.
Isn't this the same thing the linked post is saying?
It is a 2012 article. ICE cars had no rival, EV were still in its infancy.
