> His wife had died in 2018 of a stroke after suffering from vascular dementia for a number of years. His mother had also died of cognitive decline years earlier.

Makes sense that he would want to avoid the mental decline he saw with his loved ones. Sounds like he identified some of the early signs in himself and decided to act.
And yet, how much earlier could we have had better solar panels and EVs?

Certainly wind power was viable as soon as fiberglass was invented.

The mass engineering should have also been directed at that which would have saved us a billion tons of carbon.
Technically that's not really a different problem than exists. With the current system, Kaisa has to poll her desk every day to see if new milk needs to be ordered. Depending on what her activities entail, maybe there are entire days when she's not at her office. Some place has to be polled in any case, but we can choose the best place(s).

In an extreme case where there's a 100-floor building with Kaisa's desk on the first floor, it might well be more globally optimal to have boxes every 10 floors being polled, instead of everyone having to move 50 floors on average to her desk.
Certainly there were people who spoke similarly to movies and radio, like my grandmother. However, the full truth is rather sad: Anglo-American speech at the time comprised many beautiful and very diverse accents. As media became ubiquitous, these began to die off and most seem extinct today.

Sounds like the "flag theory", I heard that a few times during my research (the quoted services also cite this).

I think this is not so easy though, depending on the individual circumstances. My home country for example might want proof of my tax resident status of the past years if I ever decide to move there again, which will be difficult, if I have not been a tax resident anywhere. Of course this is easy when you reach a certain amount of wealth, but unfortunatelly I am not there yet and might need some time (if ever) to get there.
Well, you can define such a subset and write or configure parsers to only use that; I've seen both XML and YAML libraries do just that, by disabling remote file loading or arbitrary code execution for example.

I think the collapse of the USSR was more bad than good, not because of the loss of territory, but because of the collapse of socialist and communist ideals. I believe that better than people are more equal, and there are no billionaires or multi-billionaires. Individuals do not need wealth of this size.

But Russia is not taking people off the streets to war by force currently. Most of those who fight for Russia really believe that they are right. And almost everyone who wanted to could leave Russia. Currently it's not like in WW2 and Hitler. Russian soldiers do not kill civilians on purpose(maybe with the exception of single crimes that are being investigated), it has no point, (although it is possible that by mistakes, this is a war, unfortunately) and in Russia there is not even the death penalty, although in the US there is.

Russia always proposes some kind of settlement so that there is no war. Sometimes they are not so terrible, for example, simply not to make Russian-speaking citizens second-class citizens, not to forbid them anything. Sometimes the demands are of course not entirely adequate, but this is not always the case. And other side can offer some middle ground.

I believe that an invasion in any Baltic country is possible only in one case, if they completely cut off the food supplies of Kaliningrad, and if the sea route is completely blocked, and the people in Kaliningrad will suffer without food.

I didn't support Putin in the last elections, for example, especially because of the change in the constitution. And I don't really understand why he didn't find an adequate successor, for example.
I'm saying this just so you don't think that I think Russia is always right.

> Landing on inertial guidance

Which is not the future. Optical/lidar/positioning radio is the future, to make it closed loop (NASA’s Laser Retroreflector Array for high, lidar/optical for low altitudes).

> On a very highly engineered landing surface.

As I mentioned, we shouldn't assume the earthy landing legs are used. That would be a very silly assumption.

From what I can extract from your comment, you believe that the positioning system and landing legs are the issue, rather than the control systems. I suspect both are somewhat related: positioning system to place it over predictable regolith with some, yet-undeveloped, landing legs that need to work at 1/6th gravity.

I'm of the opinion that it's possible/solvable, as is NASA. It would be helpful if you would answer why you think it's not possible: what requirement do you see that make positioning and landing on regolith unachievable for SpaceX?

This topic comes up periodically and I feel that there is an underlying incorrect assumption about the use case. The assumption is that these devices, mobile phones, etc, run speech-to-text and upload text to the company. Quite an undertaking!
Consider the humble "Clapper", a 1980s vintage device that turned lights on or off with a simple clap of the hand. This device has a vocabulary of 1 word, a clap, yes or no. Now consider that our device or cellular telephone has a vocabulary of 32 words such as "car," "baby," "television," "insurance" and so on. Much much easier to ONLY look for those trigger words and slip 5 extra bits somewhere into a network packet. Suddenly you gets ads for a car dealership, an insurance company, children's formula, and so on.
And now for something completely different ;)

Trent Reznor really has one of the greatest “maturation” processes of a musical artist that I can think of. His more recent work on The Social Network and The Vietnam War is such a refined, minimalistic version of the specific sound he started forming 20+ years earlier. Not all artists manage to mature in such an elegant way; many never end up quite matching their earlier works, or head into entirely different directions.

Also, a fun random fact: Reznor’s uncle, I believe, ran a heating or HVAC company in the Pittsburgh area. You can still find the occasional industrial device with the REZNOR name on the side.

> DRM was.. and still is dumb... as it collectively punishes paying customers.

Maybe it's true in other contexts, but users of such frontend likely are not paying for youtube and they're also not paying with their eyes (ads) so the DRM here is working as intended...

Also paying customers are already allowed to download youtube videos (granted they can't watch it outside of youtube but it still counters your broadband claim).
True, especially because they would probably talk about things like temporal coherency if it were meant to be applied to video/game feeds.

My deep respect for this decision. There‘s this German saying - you ought to go when things are at their best. The older I grow, the more I‘m believing that quality of life is what we should always optimize for. Not duration, anyway. Or - both, without compromising the other too much?

I do think the point of where quality of life is declining too much is highly individual. And I hope we keep improving prophylaxis and treatments such that most people can turn 100 and still feel like they’re getting something out of life.
"The Phoenix Project" is basically "The Goal" rewritten in the context of software projects so that people would pick up the ideas easier instead of dismissing them as the "unrelated context."

The authors never hid their intentions on this one.

BTW: both are great reading.

Also, the grand idea described in Goldratt's The Goal is the Theory of Constraints (ToC). While Kanban (as a method) draws from it with the limiting WIP practice, these two don't overlap that heavily.
A simple example would be someone who does not have US citizenship (or Eritrea) and is able to move their tax residency to a second country that has very low or no income tax (e.g. UAE).

There are other countries (e.g. Cyprus) that do not require you to stay for 180 days or more to gain residency, so I think this is the kind of setup he is talking about.

The last piece of the puzzle would be international bank accounts, which gets easier the more money you have (e.g. HSBC Expat, which requires 50k USD to set up).
This feels like posturing or theater for votes. After all, didn’t Carney just recently move the headquarters of his company to New York from Canada? If there is such a risk with the United States, why does he maintain so many ties to it personally? Why eliminate all of those Canadian jobs?

Leaving that aside, there really is not a good alternative to the F35. Everything else is older and simply not a match. They may be cheaper, but it will not help if they are easily defeated in combat. Even the newer Chinese aircraft are not comparable according to leaks - maybe the best competitive aircraft is one of the newer Russian options, if Canada really wants to go that route. But buying a Eurofighter or Saab in 2025 seems silly. New avionics is not enough to make them competitive.
The 50s resurgence actually started in 1969 with the creation of Sha Na Na (who even played at Woodstock, weirdly enough). Grease was more of a result than a cause of the trend (and Sha Na Na actually performed in the movie of the musical as the fictional band "Johnny Casino and the Gamblers")

What’s the mechanism of dying of cognitive decline? Cognition doesn’t sound vital to bodily functions.
Well, besides all other concerns regarding Tesla or electric cars in general, Germany has really HIGH prices for electricity.

That may be included with the purchase, depending on the time and/or model,

but then you are dependent on the supercharger network of theirs,

which hasn't really convenient coverage.

Or you're doing it on your own at home with solar, heat-pump, wallcharger, whatever.

Which isn't an option for many, because Germany also is a nation of RENTERS,

meaning not owning a house, and thus being dependent on the whims of landlords.

Which aren't that enthusiastic about investments in general.

Complications, complications...

Now imagine living there in some large city which has everything, maybe even owning your condo, but not the whole building.

No solar, no wallchargers, and even if, they'd charge insane prices for the charging :)

So search for superchargers it is.

Such luck, there's a shopping mall even in walking distance with a few superchargers.

Phew!

Accessible only through the parking space.

Which is gated by turnpikes.

Which close at 8PM and open at 8 or 9AM (because being german)...

Forget sundays...

Actually I don't even own a car in .de and only know of this because some danish tourists asked me about superchargers for their Tesla on my way home from that shopping mall.

And couldn't believe it, neither could I.

They'd needed to cross the whole town to near the airport, while their Tesla was very low on charge,

which they wasted even more so because of circling around trying to find access past the gates...

Now this happened in Germanys second largest town, and still is the case.

Imagine how this is elsewhere, less dense, but where that rentage thing still applies for many...

Living in the US it still doesn't make sense to me, maybe because somewhere way out there at 2600m altitude near some resort town in the rockies.

I don't really care about the money for solar installation there, but it's impractical because of winds, and snow.

I see this as a phenomenon of the zeitgeist, enjoying gamified crap and virtue signaling, while the infrastructure isn't really there ATM.

So gas it is. Not necessarily guzzling. Just more convenient and practical.

That’s interesting, I had always assumed it would be far higher. Could I trouble you for a source?
I don't think the paper is about statically scheduled architectures. In fact they mention it's for modern accelerators. These switch between threads in a dynamic way rather than stalling. The scheduling being referred to seemed to mean the order in which instructions should be fed to a potentially dynamic scheduler to enable efficient usage of caches etc.

So I'm not sure you can dismiss it as a thesis which will amount to nothing on the basis that static scheduling is a bad idea!

I could easily have missed something though. It's not a particularly clear or succinct write-up and I have only read some of it. If it does say that it only works for strictly deterministic in-order architectures somewhere please can you point out where?
Show HN: I made a movie recommendation system
Hi there,

I'm a Systems Engineering student in my final year. I've started building projects just for fun.

This time, I created a movie recommendation system called Altas Pelis, which finds movies similar to the ones you select based on plot, director, genres, and actors.

It’s tailored specifically for Argentina (in Spanish), but by default, it displays its content in English.

It was a lot of fun to build. I stored the embeddings in a .npy file, and that’s essentially how it recommends movies—by computing cosine similarity when you select a movie.

Sometimes (I’m not sure why or when), the initial page load doesn’t work. Simply refreshing the page fixes it.
> Cell phones need to be approved by the carrier to even run on the network

That's a U.S. of A. thing.
Canada doesn't need to buy joint strike fighter. They need a capable air defense platform for their borders, hopefully something that could intercept a proper threat. An F-35 isn't going to catch up to a MiG-29 encroaching on it's borders, let alone a Tu-160. It's designed for breaking into contested airspace, not defending peacetime borders.

> But buying a Eurofighter or Saab in 2025 seems silly.

Why? The Eurofighter has always been a formidable jet and the Gripen is a better single-engine fighter than the F-35 in most respects. They're certainly the cheaper option for Canadian taxpayers.

You have to factor in how little power projection means to Canada. They value reliable defense against Russian aggression over the ability to power-gap people with expensive doodads. America can't sell them backdoored weapons by threatening American aggression, either.
Hot take, but for me the conclusion always was -- get a big stick and use it to prevent web developers from touching anything near your security sensitive code. Starting from design, protocols and data formats of it. The set of habits and design considerations simply doesn't match day to day practice of the usual web development. It's often the opposite of what you need to write normal code.

This article is asking whether a new kind of pop star ends the pop careers of existing pop stars. Seems unclear clear from the top 40 hits data used, but I enjoyed the exploration and would enjoy reading more in depth exploration of the question with more data.

I guess a simplistic relevance survival rate change analysis akin to top 40 hits before/after a shock must've been done for companies or individual careers where the shock is say a new general purpose technology or shift including the one happening now around LLMs. I'm having deja vu while commenting, there is a non-superficial literature on just this focused on adaptation and adoption as important factors if I recall correctly; I'd need to ask a LLM for specifics or rack my brain for longer, the piece that immediately comes to mind is at a different looking at a different scale, Jeff Ding's writing on such shocks and geopolitical power. Anyway, I guess such a literature focused on entertainer survival given shocks must exist, and might help explore which ones matter; the Beatles or any specific megastar might just be the froth; I presume that's the case.

Based on the title I was expecting a different question (entirely due to my presumptions such as mentioned above, nothing wrong with the title or article), namely how many star careers does a megastar career end or preclude, and on down to the impact of stars (mega to small) on amateurs. It's possible that stars are positive sum when considering consumers or even that they are positive sum for smaller producers (increasing overall demand, including demand to create as an amateur) though I'm skeptical of the latter given attention is finite.

I'm way more sanguine about the positive sumness of megastars where demand is insatiable (e.g., not limited by attention) such as for non-attention-based (e.g., media/entertainment) technology, but I'd love to read serious analysis of this either way.
Feels more useful for something like cli where you want to run one-off commands to test something instead of running it in production given how non-deterministic the behavior can be for example for something like

I take a fancy medication every week with an MSRP adding up to over $7,000 a month. Even with the cheapest insurance on my state's marketplace, I pay $0 for the drug because of a manufacturer copay savings program. This arrangement also happens to delete my yearly deductible and out-of-pocket max astonishingly quickly, making most of the rest of my healthcare free.

I have literally no skin in the game. Speaking as one of the winners in this charade, this whole thing is so stupid. It makes you wonder why they don't set drug MSRPs even higher.

I've been eyeing a product called Diamond Piers for an upcoming project. They are small pre-poured footers that you secure by jack-hammering galvanized pipe through into the ground. No dig, no damage, quick install. The pipes get below the frostline, and since they are hollow, inspectors can just run a tape down them to check compliance.

first you need to find a way to differentiate human thinking from machine thinking. you need to basically show how human thought is not the result of statistical learning and inference but something completely different. if it is not possible, the distinction is moot, something that only appeals to emotion.

Ugh. No one should use REXML unless they have no other choice. It will happily parse invalid xml, which causes an infinite number of problems downstream.

It’s quite literally parsing xml using regular expressions. It’s an excellent case study for why you shouldn’t do that.

> I've worked on multiple Kanban software dev teams and a whiteboard never came into play,

Most teams don’t literally use a physical whiteboard, they use some software that represents the whiteboard.

Do an image search for “Kanban board” and you’ll get a mix of physical whiteboards and software dashboards that imitate the same columnar style.

Though one thing about software development practices is that names have become nearly meaningless as people have adopted different variations. I worked at one company recently that proudly bragged about their “agile methodology” but also demanded everything be planned 6-9 months in advance and made a big deal about tracking metrics for sprint accuracy and failure to complete tickets on time (including too early!).
