What's impressive is that if you look at the issues PATCO struck over, it was basically identical to the problems ATC faces today. The problem being that everything has only gotten a lot worse for ATC controllers. The union pretty lou

There's unfortunately an alertness problem WRT automated systems. If the reason you have the human there is to handle the unusual cases, you run the real risk that they just aren't paying attention at critical moments when they ne

This isn't a hardware feat, this is a software triumph. They didn't make special purpose hardware to run a model. They crafted a large model so that it could run on consumer hardware (a phone).

Not so much and I'm certainly guilty of buying something from amazon because I'm already on amazon.com. I have my favorite set of retailers that I use for a fair number of my purchases, I'm sure a lot of people are like that.

It doesn't mandate that you correct it, it mandates that if something is more certain that the OS must update that field. It's in both the Colorado and California laws.

Yeah it's a good thing we dismantled that regime and totally didn't empower the most extreme and radical portion of it while removing the politicians who'd tempered that and turned the population against the US and Israel. Bu

All I know is we are accomplishing them and we'll be done in 3 weeks to 3 years. Also, this isn't a woke war, which I was worried about.

For the people I know, it's mostly just been quiet silence, they don't really want to talk about it (and I don't force it). I know this is uncomfortable for them. Outside that, what I've noticed in my area is a whole lo

I actually agree with you. My point wasn't "don't optimize" it was "don't optimize the wrong thing". Trying to replace a division with a bit shift is an example of worrying about the wrong thing, especiall

Yup. I've done a bit of assembly and it's really only a little harder than doing C. You simply have to get familiar with your assembler and the offered macros. Heck, I might even say that it's simpler than basic.

Exactly my impression. And honestly, X11 isn't exactly beautiful like the author is implying. A lot of the same wayland complaints they are putting here apply to X11. The main difference is that wayland is apparently handling the ev

Because the law requires the operating system to take proactive measures to ensure the age is correct. You can put "Luke Skywalker" into the name fields, or even nothing at all, and there's no legal mandate that those fields

Apparently, this is also something that was pushed by Meta through some dark money lobbying [1]. The intention being that they'd already implemented age verification in their side and they wanted to force apple/google to do more

Your a Gen z in college (or just out of college) and I suspect most of your peer group is educated. I'm an older millennial with a ton of genz family (nieces and nephews, I have 50 total. Mormon family). Very few of them have or want

There's really no reason why DirectX 12 can't be as fast as Vulkan. In fact, the fact that converting DirectX to Vulkan makes it faster sort of proves that point.

This is the second time this week on HN that I've seen people suggesting object pools to solve memory pressure problems. I generally think it's because people aren't experienced with diagnosing and fixing memory pressure. It

That was basically entirely on Carly Fiorina, Mark Hurd and the board of directors. It's pretty similar to what happened to Boeing. HP had engineers at the helm right up until Fiorina. She came in and destroyed a lot of what made it

Fair point, but it is possible this isn't a list but rather some sort of iterable. Those can be boundless. Practically speaking, that would be pretty unusual. I don't think I've ever seen that sort of construct in my day to

Bad idea. I've made a pool allocator before, but that was for expensive network objects and expensive objects dealing with JNI. Doing it to avoid memory pressure generally means you simply have a bad algorithm that needs to be tweaked

Nitpick just because. Orders by hour could be made faster. The issue with it is it's using a map when an array works both faster and just fine. On top of that, the map boxes the "hour" which is undesirable. This is how I&#x2
