> - the memory wall... "The huge difference between CPU and DRAM growth rates led to the increased complexity of microprocessor memory hierarchies. Different levels of caches are needed to balance the differences in the bandwidth and latency needs of the CPU with those of the DRAM main memory."

The way to "solve" this is well known. You build buffers between the CPU and the Memory, and then execute as much as possible out-of-order. And that's the purpose of L1, L2, and L3 caches: to provide this out-of-order code enough data to work (while the CPU is waiting on slow, slow main-memory).

However, contemporary RAM is not designed to coordinate with the CPU very well on this front, at least compared to designs like HMC (a type of "stacked RAM", a competitor to a GPU's HBM).

HMC is interesting because its a packet-based system. You tell the RAM a memory-address to access, but then the RAM may return that memory out-of-order compared to other requests !!!

After all: RAM also has physical "latency" issues. When a bank is open, it needs to close, incurring a tRAS, tCAS, and tRC delay. (A "hit" to the same bank would incur only a tCAS delay). If RAM could execute "out of order", then the memory-controller could allow more efficient orderings of memory.

Juggling which banks are open and closed has been traditionally a CPU's memory controller job. But communicating this information over a many-cm long PCB trace incurs latency. So it makes more sense to put this logic as close to the RAM as possible (speed of light, capacitance, inductance, etc. etc. slow down the signal).

Furthermore: since CPUs are incredible out-of-order machines already, it wouldn't be a major hassle to make the memory also out-of-order. I mean, yeah, its complicated, but its no different to what CPUs already do with L1, L2, and L3 caches (and the programming constructs built on top: Atomic Accesses and whatnot to control the effects of memory-reorderings).

I haven't heard of any major computer use HMC yet however. Only $10,000+ FPGAs on occasion. Still, there exists RAM today which can execute requests out-of-order. When this RAM becomes mainstream (if it ever becomes mainstream), I'd expect systems to be able to get much faster.
Pony does look really solid. It's still new however. Give it 4 years or so.
Yep. Looks like I got that fact wrong. Perhaps it was his regimen which had been in the Boer War in the past, but not himself. Or maybe it was his father. I don't really know. The woman who knows the story is quite old with dementia.
But it does make it harder to stabilize the image. Especially when the decibels are high like in a launch.
Different people are motivated by different things (ie what gets you up in the morning may be different than what gets me up). Some do it out of inherent passion for whatever art they are pursuing, some to prove a point to others, some to prove a point to themselves. Some believe they have an obligation to humanity, others to just their family. Not my place to determine who is right in this. Whatever motivates these people often results in me being a net beneficiary of whatever they built for society that made them billionaires.
If I choke on food, that's sort of on me. If I die from a drunk driver rear-ending me at 6pm in the evening, well, that's not quite my fault now is it?

The problem is that humans are de facto terrible at driving. Cellphones and other distractions, bad decision making, emotional clouding, etc.

I've literally seen someone have to slam on their brakes and pull in the shoulder to avoid a rear end collision because they were tailgating and speeding... and then repeat the exact same mistake in less than five minutes. People are garbage at driving and when a mistake can cost not only your own life, but the lives of others, you don't have some intrinsic right to endanger me because you can't follow a posted speed limit or maintain a safe distance.

I also notice that folks who think they're the best at driving are some of the worst. "I'm a good driver! I can talk on my cellphone and drive at the same time!"
Awesome news, and congrats to the Infatuation team. You guys have been killing it! Question, do you work with local marketers that share the same ideals? I run the largest food and cocktail promotion gig in Rochester, NY, that focuses on only the best. All photography, content, and relationships are handled solely by me. I won't post anything I don't love, so there is no negativity, and my followers expect that level of integrity. The scene has been growing hand over fist here, and it would be killer to get more coverage outside of the area.

That website gave me a good chuckle. Was that your actual website from back when, or did you just "take inspiration" from the old days?
When I eat Non organic beetroot, it just feels like I am eating some pesticides. Same with non-organic corn. Try keeping in this mind when you eat these vegetables next time and I am sure you will catch the aftertaste.
One of the original reasons for message passing is that multiple reducers can respond to the same action. There have been many libraries since the beginning that try to shrink that relationship (ex reducks), but I never understood it, my code is replete with multiple responders.
Exactly - a lot can change in that time. Years ago Zagat was an unplayable boss, now he's a playable character.

> If you want to stop 30,000 people from dying on the roads every year, don't allow multi-ton vehicles on the road.

Okay, but the idea here is to drop the deaths without impacting the economy so much that it will tank. Yes we could remove all large vehicles, but then people would starve and die anyway because they wouldn't get food to grocery stores fast enough, etc.
Himalayan salts are high in bromine and probably shouldn't be eaten.

> we personally liked the "drag some files to a folder and that's it" UX.

How much extra work would it have been to add a "drag some files to a folder and run publish_website" interface, for Linux and Windows users? Hardly any, given that the functionality is already there.

Not only that, it would make the system more easily scriptable. For example, it is probably easier on MacOS to get a Makefile to run an executable than to drag files to a folder.

Go to church, what have you got to lose? With all its problems every church is filled with nice people and I guarantee with a few calls (probably 1) you will find someone that will pick you up and take you. No matter how rural you are, there is a church close by.
Hollywood has always been all about escapism. In the 1930's - the golden era of film - most of the offerings were aspirational and inspiring, not Grapes of Wrath gloom and doom, which was a lot of people's actual daily experience.

There's a reason the mainstream entertainment doesn't make non fantasy films - it's because they are a for profit business and there's no money in it.

The recent Churchill film, which was very loosely based on reality and flat out wrong in many areas was all about triumph over adversity etc. There's a good argument to made about fantasy films supposedly depicting actual historical events and people distorting mass reality. That's where my beef is with hollywood...

This makes the whole thing sound like a NRA-style clickbait article and nothing more.

That said, I am not exactly a fan of how autonomous vehicle scene is unfolding with lot of investments being made by ride sharing companies. And these guys have signed a "Shared Mobility Principles for Livable Cities" [0] which states:

WE SUPPORT THAT AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES (AVS) IN DENSE URBAN AREAS SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY IN SHARED FLEETS.
Due to the transformational potential of autonomous vehicle technology, it is critical that all AVs are part of shared fleets, well-regulated, and zero emission. Shared fleets can provide more affordable access to all, maximize public safety and emissions benefits, ensure that maintenance and software upgrades are managed by professionals, and actualize the promise of reductions in vehicles, parking, and congestion, in line with broader policy trends to reduce the use of personal cars in dense urban areas.

While Redux is great because it enforces a single source of truth, the whole thing with "actions" and "reducers" in Redux is a huge source of boilerplate. In almost every Redux project I have worked on, developers bring in some weird scheme to reduce the boilerplate load of having to come up with a bunch of events when all that anyone wants to do is call some functions.

The fact that Redux forces you to use events to modify the store is a useless complication which has spawned reams and reams of crazy libraries like redux-thunk, redux-saga, standard action formats, etc. The craziest thing yet is Ducks: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/scaling-your-redux-app-with-.... This is a pattern which tries as hard as possible to make using events not feel like using events, by tying each event intimately to its listener.

This library is a step in the right direction, but wrapping Redux seems unnecessary. Here's a similar approach in 100 LOC: https://github.com/didierfranc/react-stateful

You'd really like the 3rd act of the movie "Certain Women" (2016). It's about rural life for people with small, or non-existent support nets.
I am not in the AI space at all, but I am under the impression that python is the most used language for it. If workload is becoming an issue, wouldn't the low hanging fruit be a more performance driven software language?

With how fast things are evolving, developing something like an ASIC ($$$) for this might be outdated before it even hits release, no?
"In basically all cases every action is handled by exactly one reducer" this is patently false
Ask HN: What are good writing tips for software developers?
I am thinking about all the occasions a developer writes words related to writing code. Pull requests descriptions, email communication with colleagues (devs and non-devs), commit messages, specifications, documentation.

Eventually a technical article or blog post too. But I am mostly concerned about day-to-day needs of writing that every developer has.

Requiem for a Dream is one I can think of. Very dark though.
Watch the film I, Daniel Blake, because my comment is kind of dependent on that.

The movie does such a good job portraying how change is inevitable. From an American pov, I've always admired how the UK has stuff like Gov.uk, a real at-the-forefront use of technology to make government more transparent and efficient, not to mention cool. It has always seemed functional and user-oriented. And, it's lightyears ahead of anything we have in the US to centralize or standardize basic stuff like paper forms.

But then in the movie, you see a guy that you probably know try to run a mouse up a computer screen to complete an unemployment form, by physically placing the mouse on the screen. And then get frustrated when he's not allowed help, but then asks 3 different young people walking by to help him navigate the form, before the form times out and he loses all his data.

Like, even if the developers and designers of the website tried with all their effort to make their page accessible and even more user friendly, what can be done? The enemy isn't the government for trying to modernize, and it's not poor people who may or may not have gotten stuck in time for whatever reason. The enemy is just change, where you don't realize these stories exist. So to bring it back to the OP - there is a real value in seeing and hearing these stories.
I agree with you regarding the benefits of finding a group to meet with. I was in an accident last year and shattered my spine. The place I worked fired me the very next day, right after I got out of surgery. I've spent a year now cooped up in my house. I've never been a very social individual, but a couple of months ago, I wandered down to a church building that is about a block from my house. The people were welcoming and I found myself going down there more and more frequently. They started offering free classes, about three weeks ago, on how to run your own business. Since it has been nigh unto impossible to find regular work, I started going to the classes to work on starting my own thing. I wasn't aware there was a problem with loneliness in my life until I started taking those classes and making friends with the other people attending. It has made an incredible difference.
I've started calling it "organic branded" instead of "organic" because it is too vague to have a real meaning, if it doesn't mean the opposite of "inorganic." In common usage the word seems to mean "pesticide free" or "I believe this is healthy." All food is organic, by definition. Not all food was raised without commercial pesticides, or whatever the brand means. Hence, "organic branded" which is precise.

Seems likely. His wife (before they were married) were also held by the Japanese in Indonesia. She was mostly Indonesian by decent, but because she was living in a Dutch part of Jakarta, she and the rest of the people there were all held in camp. There, they allegedly only received one cup of rice per day.

Except most of Boyhood was emotional drivel for people who want to see poor people from a distance and believe everything always turns out fine in the end through hard work.

Better watch out, that kid from a broken home might break the rules once, but cool white-savior mom is all he needs (she also managed to free the gardener from wage slavery by giving him a nice pep talk). These are totally real things that happen without any long-term psychological damage worth mentioning.
It is incredible that you cite artistic expression for your case. It is likely the money making side that makes it difficult to do anything truly new because the predominantly affluent (and yes, white) masses may be skittish about it. You should think about its broader impact on society, because while you have the time and resources to complain about not being entertained enough (incredible in this age of over entertainment!) there are people's stories not being told precisely because you would prefer entertainment to something that challenges your views on what is even entertaining.

Not only that, but who says these movies can't be entertaining??
You don't come off as rude and I didn't mean to imply you're causing it; sorry if my comment was upsetting. I was trying to point out that it's easy to get stuck in your kind of situation and become, for lack of a better word, pessimistic. Obviously everyone is different and, as you say, "online socialization" may just not fill that need for you (and others). Given the situation of relative isolation physically / geographically ("rural unconnected America"), I was only trying to offer the idea that connecting to people online can be possible for some, though it does take time and effort which may be hard to expend after years of feeling there is no return on that investment. Again, apologies if I painted with too broad a brush.
There's another malapropism further down too - so-and-so trying to bring financial constraint (restraint) to Alphabet.

I think the subtext of your comment here is something like, "Look how productive he is without mastering the real tools we Unix hackers use! He can get by with second rate Windows stuff!"

Maybe I'm reading you wrong. But if I am right, it's good to take a look outside of the Unix bubble. Visual Studio is literally the world's most sophisticated developer tool. More human hours of engineering have been poured into it than likely any other piece of software we use on a daily basis.

Windows isn't my jam, but VS is incredible.
I am describing common knowledge in Balkan agriculture - in Vojvodina, Serbia, it is widely known that after harvesting sugar beets you simply can't have a solid harvest no matter what you plant for the next 5 or more years, and our land is mainly
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernozem . Usually you plant garlic/onion/phacelia or something similar in the subsequent years to "reset" the land.

Not saying there is a fallow, but that sugar beets take a lot of nutrients from the land, at least in this area.

Sorry for the lack of proper terminology, agriculture is not my primary occupation.
> You still have to stay on the roads and use a seatbelt and use your turn signals 100% of the time, etc.

No, you don't. If you're not on a road, there's no need for any of those. You don't even need a license. Should those usecases be taken away?

> They would be building self driving cars if they cared about safety.

Imagine, for a moment, a car with all of that data that it collects distilled down into a HUD for the driver. Can you honestly tell me that it wouldn't be better than the status quo? Should we not ask for such a thing, since it doesn't remove the human from the equation?

There will never be a 100% safe automatic pilot - putting off adding safety features to cars today until we get that perfect system is, to me, really quite silly.
Alternately, people who give advice likely experienced similar issues and overcame them. I sure have, and would echo the same recommendations, but like I was, OP just gives excuses why he can't do the simplest thing like recalibrating hobby expectations.

OP is reaching out for compassion but with such a tiny social net only internet strangers can help, and what else can they do but suggest their own life experiences? It sounds like OP has no family or friends to interact with let alone get help with tasks, so if he wants a good avenue of support then he should contact a local church asking for a ride to attend then get to know people there.

If I tried it, I wouldn't try it with the same car I drive to work with every day. I'd use a car built to drive over riverbeds. Most people aren't saying that self-driving cars should take over every kind of vehicle with wheels. I think the main purpose is to give commuters and truck drivers another option, not to remove options from people.

Mudbound - https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/nov/16/mudbound-review... - is a very good film about poverty, among other things. It doesn't smack you in the face and say "I'M A FILM ABOUT POVERTY", which seems to be the Guardian writer's requirement for inclusion on his list, but it is.

Sure, nobody wants to be associated with the next armed person who tries to take down a “secret pedo ring” in the non-existent basement of a pizza joint. After all, it may not end without bloodshed next time. Advertisers are going to start placing similar demands on YouTube that they do on TV, and for the same reasons. They don’t want or need bad press.

Of course this might finally open the door to taking a slice of the video hosting pie. It might also end up like a Reddit vs. Voat, because at the end of the day a lot of the crap being objected to here is really quite objectionable. I know that people like to invoke freedom of expression arguments, censorship and so on, but again, look at Voat if you haven’t eaten lately; it’s a combination of appalling and dead.

Usefully though, these alt sites can act as a useful way to monitor the degree of real censorship, if it exists. When and if you start to see significant amounts of something other than paranoia and hate there, you’ll know something is being suppressed elsewhere. So far though, not much.
I really get the idea the article is not much more than a hit piece. It clearly focuses in only on the nominations while completely ignoring all the other media people consume, much more if it is on the small screen.

there is more that enough about the poor hitting Americans every day through the news, television shows on both broadcast and streaming, to even billboards and telemarketers.

the truth is too many assume the government is helping when the government usually is causing more issues or confusing the issues. worse in some cases actions taken because of a feel good politician negatively impact the local people who then in turn tune it out because it annoys or disgusts them so instead of working to see it fixed they blame the poor and homeless.

Art is the conscience of society. Sure there's a lot to be said about escapism and lolz but to say that art shouldn't be challenging risks disappearing up the hole of narcissism.

Why should there be a purpose to art at all? In any case, Oscars are known for handing out awards to non-commercial movies. That was the entire point of the awards. To reward excellence, not money (modulo human factors).

If you are not going to be entertained by a movie, don't watch it. If you don't like the authors opinion, move on and go read something else. Maybe I should move on from your opinion too :)
