41,790,017 | comment | Supernaut | 2024-10-09T16:51:57 | null | In certain academic circles, it's been popular for several decades now to exhibit indifference to the general decline in observance of rules such as this. I find that attitude very regrettable. I can't be the only person who has found themselves having to repeatedly re-read a passage of text to discern its meaning, because the author is ignorant of, or indifferent to the use of apostrophes and/or other forms of punctuation.<p>These aren't arbitrary rules, for the most part: they came into existence to assist with reading comprehension. The clarity of expression afforded by modern English is a great gift, and I strongly believe that allowing it to degenerate by abandoning these (very simple!) rules will serve only to make written English less expressive and more opaque. | null | null | 41,789,506 | 41,787,647 | null | [

41,790,020 | comment | fluoridation | 2024-10-09T16:52:19 | null | Huh? Bitcoin uses integers. The maximum supply of BTC in satoshis fits in 64 bits. JS implementations that need to handle BTC amounts use doubles, but only by necessity, since JS doesn't have an integer type. They still use the units to represent satoshis, which works because the maximum supply also fits in 53 bits, so effectively they're also using integers.<p>Anyone who uses binary floating point operations on monetary values doesn't know what they're doing and is asking for trouble. | null | null | 41,788,807 | 41,784,591 | null | [

41,790,028 | comment | foobiekr | 2024-10-09T16:53:10 | null | Microservices with their own database are often a terrible design choice, but I will grant you it is one of the two dimensions that make sense:<p>1. is there a _very significant_ difference in the horizontal scaling footprint/model or demand (and demand is _only relevant_ if there is static footprint)? Home the function with a similar service, if there is one, otherwise yes, add a service.<p>2. is there a _genuine_ and _legitimate_ need for a different database, with completely independent schema, and not some horrible bullshit where you will end up doing cross-party transactions (and almost always failing to do so well)? Are you sure you need a different database or is your team just afraid of SQL and schema management (the usual mongodb garbage)? Is the issue that you don't understand how database security works? .. if all of these pass muster, then yes, ok, that's an OK reason.<p><i>Every</i> architecture I've seen since 2013 at startups and big companies alike (since I do technical diligence professionally as a side gig) has been microservices or simple CRUD.<p>Almost all of the microservices ones were totally fucking wrong and had to be massively reworked, and usually multuple times, because they had no thesis at all for what they were doing and it was often - even mostly - an excuse not to have to learn their tools beyond tutorial level and/or a desire to play with new shiny or not read someone else's code. The CRUD guys were fine, they just did business until they needed to add caching, and so on, like real products. | null | null | 41,759,197 | 41,720,846 | null | null | null | null |

Minecraft running in Minecraft.<p>There is huge overhead.<p>You need an astronomically large real PC that could handle running Minecraft such that the Minecraft version running inside Minecraft is usable.

41,790,043 | comment | Maxatar | 2024-10-09T16:54:46 | null | As I indicate in another post, I work in finance and I use binary floats. So do a lot of others who work in the industry. I sympathize with people who think that IEEE floating points are some weird or error prone representation and that fixed point arithmetic solves every problem, but in my professional experience that isn't true and systems that start by using fixed point arithmetic eventually end up making a half-assed error prone and slow version of floating point arithmetic as soon as they need to handle more sophisticated use cases like handling multiple currencies, doing calculations involving percentages such as interest rates, etc etc...<p>The IEEE 754 floating point standard is a very well thought out standard that is suitable for representing money as-is. If you have requirements such as compliance/legal/regulatory needs that mandate a minimum precision, then you can either opt to use decimal floating point or use binary floating point where you adjust the decimal place up to whatever legally required precision you are required to handle.<p>For example the common complaint about binary floating point is that $1.10 can't be represented exactly so you should instead use a fixed integer representation in terms of cents and represent it as 110. But if your requirement is to be able to represent values exactly to the penny, then you can simply do the same thing but using a floating point to represent cents and represent $1.10 as the floating point 110.0. The fixed integer representation conveys almost no benefit over the floating point representation, and once you need to work with and mix currencies that are significantly out of proportion to one another, you begin to really appreciate the nuances and work that went into IEEE 754 for taking into account a great deal of corner cases that a fixed integer representation will absolutely and spectacularly fail to handle. | null | null | 41,789,337 | 41,784,591 | null | [

If I remember correctly, according to Walter Isaacson, Einstein managed to get so many good papers out not despite, but <i>because</i> he was not working for an university. It gave him more freedom to reject existing ideas. Also the years I can find on Wikipedia do not seem to support your claim. He started as a clerk in 1903, and had his miracle year and submitted his PhD dissertation in 1905. | null | null | 41,788,594 | 41,786,101 | null | [

Now what?<p>Now you're incorrect, just like before? :)<p>More seriously though, the word has a historically well-defined meaning, that lots of people put lots of time into defining really clearly, as others have linked to. It has precedence in courtrooms, lawyers have defined it, serious institutions have corrobated the existence of the meaning, etc etc.<p>You can choose to ignore that if you like, of course. You can argue for the word to be polysemic and have a new, second meaning, and you can even argue that the old meaning should be totally dropped and we just use this new meaning you're proposing.<p>But retroactively claiming that the word only ever had the meaning you say it has now is... odd, to put it politely. | null | null | 41,789,691 | 41,788,461 | null | null | null | null |

So that happened in the 90s, and a few minor revisions after that.<p>A lot of English vocabulary (technology but also every day life) had an influence on German, especially in Eastern Germany post-reunion. An example: Most people born after 1990 probably invite you to a Geburtstagsparty instead of a Geburtstagsfeier.<p>Compared to the after-war generations, hyper-local dialects probably faded out as bit as well. If I talk to people from my grandparents generation, there were sometimes difference in terms even though people just lived a few villages apart.<p>Biggest development I am happy about, is that the capital ẞ is probably becoming official during my life time. | null | null | 41,789,589 | 41,787,647 | null | null | null | null |

41,790,065 | comment | visarga | 2024-10-09T16:56:34 | null | Space is distributed and time is a centralizing force. The serial action bottleneck forces the brain, for example, to unify and send one action at a time. This is also replicated in LLMs that are distributed internally, but generate one token at a time. So time is like the force of centralization while space supports the distributed side.<p>These two tendencies are reflected in the exploration/exploitation tradeoff. The exploitation part is centralized in language and culture, while the exploration part is distributed across the components of a system. They work together to achieve intelligence, both are needed. | null | null | 41,782,534 | 41,782,534 | null | null | null | null |

There's no experimental result about gravity being or not being in superpositions. What will happen to gravity (if there is any) in a double split experiment is pure theoretical speculations.<p>And I readily admit that it would be interesting to know what would happen. But many decades of more or less convoluted hypotheses has proved to be unfruitful. We need a new way to do fundamental physics, or if possible go back to the old way, because the current one clearly doesn't work. | null | null | 41,788,569 | 41,775,463 | null | null | null | null |

And much cheaper than dedicated compute at the standard cloud vendors. Hetzner would be similarly cheap, but I did not want to bother with with remote management, another vendor, network etc. | null | null | 41,782,683 | 41,782,683 | null | null | null | null |
