There was no theory saying that the horn antenna should have no hiss. It was a classic example of being the first measurement of a thing. It happens all the time in astronomy. Since this measurement people have been much more open to whatever the data says when they observe in a new frequency band. If anything, the surprise in this particular case was mainly because the people doing the experiment weren't astronomers, and had never considered what they might see if they looked up. Excellent discovery, and easy and inexpensive to replicate.
> Web UIs are pretty awful, unpredictable, confusing and non-standard compared to desktop ones. Not only that but they're hard to develop, you have to jump through hoops of CSS hacks to make things behave in a sort-of-desktop-like fashion.

I disagree almost completely with this. I haven't had to use a CSS "hack" in ages. And I think the "hard to develop" part is a product of experience. Having been in the web world for a while I find no difficult in it at all. Especially when using one of the many CSS frameworks out there.

Although I will give you that on second read, my statement is a bit ridiculous because I said "tools" and desktop does have better drag and drop tools for UI. What I should have said is "capabilities"

Was there something that can be done on the desktop you had in mind that is particular difficult in web?

This is fair, and one should certainly acknowledge the progress we have made as a functionality all its own, but there seems to be something else at work in the deep learning paradigm. I think (ha) we are dipping our toes in the water of intelligence replication, and that deep learning is a very real crystallization of hundreds of years (using Decartes as my x-axis) of scientifically accurate data amalgamation on what it is we are doing when we maintain a thought, so while the Perceptron is definitely the architecture for passing from the realm of information to the realm of data, what fascinates me is the proximity to actual human reasoning that is occurring presently within the 'mind' of, say, Watson, which I have to say is an incredibly providential name given IBM's founder, Sherlock's best bud, and James Watt's influence on electricity.

It's almost as if intelligent design isn't all that far fetched....lol
You're not stupid! Uber is less vulnerable than DD (mainly because their margins are higher). But it's still a cost-intensive business. Subsidies, local offices, marketing, it adds up. For reference, see [0], although Uber sold their Chinese business to a competitor soon after that article was published.

2,036 of those pages are for AArch32, though. In contrast to ARM, AMD didn't introduce a new instruction set for 32-bit x86.

Personally, I prefer ARM's move, because while it's a complexity increase now, it paves the way to someday drop support for 32-bit ARM, which would be a major architectural simplification. It also means that, as a programmer, when you're in 64-bit mode you aren't burdened by all of that weird backwards compatibility stuff going back decades—you get a relatively clean ISA.

(I do have some gripes with AArch64, to be fair: there are too many addressing modes and the condition codes are unnecessary. But I'll take anything that moves us in a more RISC-y direction.)

Could we expect a simpler architecture to take a performance lead in future?

That didn't happen in the past and I doubt it will be true in the future; in fact I'd say one of the reasons ARM remained competitive is because of conditional execution, the "free" barrel shifter, and Thumb mode, which really help with code density (directly related to cache usage) and avoiding branches.

AArch64 looks very much like MIPS, an ISA that hasn't really been known for anything other than being cheap and a good simple pedagogical aid (despite plenty of people being convinced it would easily outperform x86 at a fraction of the cost.) I'd guess any perceived performance increases over AArch32 are primarily due to the widening to 64 bits, and in any case much of the benchmark performance rests on the special functional units (SIMD, crypto, etc.)

> complexity for the implementation

Minimizing complexity is also important when writing a security feature. The entire firmware shouldn't be very large (bugs/kLOC is constant(-ish)), and dependencies increase attack surface.

> reduce the storage requirements

I don't see that as being a huge problem, because flash memory is cheap and I should be able to generate pads very quickly. Remember that the only problem I'm trying to solve is secure chat (text). 1MB of pad is a lot of typing.

I do like the idea mentioned in another comment about using the shared random secret as a stream of symmetric keys, which would nicely reduce the rate of pad usage without adding any more complex semantics.

> If the UI is a unix character device

I'm describing it to you as a character device, because I assume you know approximately what that implies (serialized data stream, etc). The UI for the user, for now, would probably be a plugin for libpurple or something, if I ever get time to write it.

> a very small simple subset of GPG

I've been trying variations of that idea for over 20 years. Many people need a far more rudimentary education about the idea of using crypto. I want to teach the idea of applying security at each end of the conversation. I want to teach the habit of putting an envelop on communication, even when it's just to a friend. I want to teach taking some of the responsibility for your own security instead of relying on 3rd parties ("the cloud").

I've tried to teach very small subsets of GPG already. That didn't work, so I'm simplifying the scope into something that will hopefully be easier to understand.

The "minimal GPG wrapped up in a very simple UI" device that you're talking about would make a great device to graduate into.

No, that's only true when claiming something that is not compatible with the currently prevailing social/political narrative. If you're backing up the current narrative you're free to spew falsehoods. If you're studying something nobody else cares about then it's probably wise to at least try and stick to the facts.

There have been some reports of 4He and some high energy particle emissions, consistent with D + D → 4He + 23.8 MeV (heat) [1]. So yes, I would say there have been enough experiments done to call it an anomaly.

I believe what makes it so hard to tell is the labelling of any cold fusion researcher as a crackpot, which seems to have forced it 'underground'. Certainly a valid social experiment in physics if nothing else!

Reply to the person who deleted the comment about aerospace companies having overruns and being late. It's a common misconception that this is incompetence. It was worth this reply if you're still reading:

That's on purpose. They bribe politicians overseeing or in the military. Those deliver them contracts worth many times what they paid in bribes. It's called the "revolving door" of the Pentagon by those that follow it. It becomes obvious when you notice all these failures are tolerated with none of the proven fraud resulting in prison sentences. The same ineffective companies keep getting big contracts with the effective, smaller ones fighting for scraps. As it's designed to be.

To respectfully offer a different point of view, I have never found an internet forum that requires the veracity of claims be held to that level of scrutiny.

In fact, I've been downvoted and ridiculed for things like requesting a source be given, or quoting a mainstream textbook (which disagreed with a user.

HN is better than most imho, but most internet forums seem to be characterized by groupthink rather than vehement adherence to an ability to verify the truth of what one is claiming. I'd rather be in the company of the latter, even if they do ridicule you if your claims are not verifiable.

Do you universally leave comments like this in response to everyone? Or do you only selectively apply this metric to people?
> Is that an anomaly or just an experimental error?

In my opinion any empirical data that has no currently obvious explanation should be called an "anomaly" until one is found. It doesn't matter how unlikely the Em Drive interacting with some ether or how low the thrust might be, the observed thrust is still an anomaly until you can find and confirm the actual cause. In the case of cold fusion, it was a mistake to (impolitely!) dismiss that anomaly without any obvious proof of the real cause. I have no idea about the current state of this research or whether it will ever pan out, but I am confident in saying that much.

And yes, this means we all need to have a much healthier, more skeptical, and less emotional response to reports of "anomalies" in the news.
Hmm, one of the authors is a self-proclaimed expert in cold fusion and the other one is a lawyer. I wonder why there were no physicists among the authors.
The closure table is a neat solution, even though the adjacency list is by far the most natural to me. As the author notes, breadcrumbs and subtrees can be generated in the database layer by recursive CTEs, and support has become more common since 2010. SQLite has added WITH RECURSIVE, for instance.

It is probably not difficult to create a new x86 version that is user mode compatible with most modern programs but lacks things like segmentation and real mode. New OS versions would be required, but most modern user mode programs would work with few if any modifications.
In 1993, physicist David Goodstein of Caltech wrote a look back at the whole cold fusion thing, and how it had become socially/politically unacceptable to do work in that area, right when some well respected experimenters were finally starting to get some serious signs that something interesting and new was going.

Here are the last two paragraphs of the article:

> Recently, I told this story in a Philosophy course we teach at Caltech called "Ethics of Research." The first question, when I finished my tale, was, do I believe in Cold Fusion? The answer is, no. Certainly, I believe quite firmly the theoretical arguments that say Cold Fusion is impossible. On the other hand, however, I believe equally firmly in the integrity and competence of Franco Scaramuzzi and his group of co-workers at Frascati. I was disturbed when I saw that Franco had gotten caught in the web of science-by-news conference in April 1989 (although I was truly pleased that he finally got the long overdue recognition his agency ENEA owed him), and I was even more distressed when I learned that Franco and his group had observed excess heat (the "bad kind" of Cold Fusion). However, I have looked at their cells, and looked at their data, and it's all pretty impressive. The Japanese experiment showing that heat nearly always results when x is greater than 0.85 looks even more impressive on paper. It seems a particularly elegant, well designed experiment, at least to the untutored eye of a physicist (what do I know about electrochemistry?) What all these experiments really need is critical examination by accomplished rivals intent on proving them wrong. That is part of the normal functioning of science. Unfortunately, in this area, science is not functioning normally. There is nobody out there listening.

> I suppose that, if nuclear fusion really does take place whenever x is greater than 0.85 in palladium, the world of conventional science will eventually be forced to take notice. If not, then the whole story I have told you is nothing but a curious footnote to a bizarre and ugly episode in the history of science. Either way, I think the story illuminates the inner dynamics of the scientific enterprise in a way that few other stories have done. For that reason alone, it may be worth telling.

I think it's up to the end developers to decide that the behaviors are. You/I don't know that the best option is to default to "safety" - because we lack the information necessary to make that decision.

And yet again - this is UB because the original writers of the C language knew that the behavior of the hardware would be known to assembly programmers of the time.
