You are right, it's a nice article!
AArch64 was def designed for this too. You can use the w registers (the lower 32 bit halves of the GPRs) as load/store arguments, which pretty much only makes sense in an x32 like ABI.

Pythonicity: contrarian view on map and filter
Theorem: Whenever `numbers[index]` is used, `0 <= index < numbers.length`.

Proof: Use the loop invariant `0 <= index <= numbers.length`. The invariant holds before the loop begins because `index == 0` (established by you) and `numbers.length >= 0` (established by the implementor of the array type) imply it.

Inductively assume that prior iterations of the loop preserved the invariant and didn't perform any invalid indexing operations. Now, every time the loop's condition is evaluated, there are two possibilities: either `0 <= index == numbers.length` or `0 <= index < numbers.length`. In the former case, the loop terminates and no further indexing operations are used, establishing the claim. In the latter case, `numbers[index]` is a valid indexing operation, and the subsequent `index++` operation does not destroy the invariant, because, given the precondition `0 <= index < numbers.length`, the operation `index++` establishes the postcondition `0 < index <= numbers.length`, which implies the invariant.

---

Note, however, that in this case it would have been more efficient to use an iterator, because the iterator's implementation already packages this proof in a reusable way, so that you don't need to reprove it every time you write a loop similar to this.

> To access Deep Web, we need a separate web browser. Normal web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc won’t work.

> We need to use Tor Browser to access the Deep Web.

Ok...seriously?? I don't even know where to start with this post.

You can use any browser to access Tor.

Deep,Dark and surface web sound cool but they are not official terms any significant groups of people agreed upon.

Using "Dark web" to generalize Tor,I2P and freenet does not seem like a very smart thing to do. The way the networks operate and the typical content you find on them are significantly different. I think the old way of saying "clear net" to refer to public web and using the specific anonymous network's name to refer content on there is ideal.
> I am pretty sure that all of the benchmarks showed 64-bit ARM losing to 32-bit, though, by a few percent.

I think that's true on an RPi with it's super gate constrained, in-order core, but AArch64 was really designed to make OoOE cores with complex prediction a lot easier.

If it'd been a Waymo or Tesla car I'd have been more likely to give some benefit of the doubt. Driving is hard and most of these systems already make fewer mistakes than human drivers.

But Uber never has been and never will be trustworthy. It's a toxic organization that will continue moving fast and breaking things - sometimes intentionally - until it's stopped by either the market or the government.

As a freshman at MIT in the 1980’s, I was impressed to hear the announcement that the MIT Group Against Smoking had just disbanded. They had accomplished everything they set out to do and felt their were better places for them to invest their time.

And yes, I vividly recall the only time in my tenure at MIT I saw a student light a cigarette. It was in 10-250, the person was sitting audience right side of the lecture hall, about 1/3 of the way back in the room. She did so once, on her first day of class as a transfer student.

So yes, change can happen, and be recognized, and the activists move on.
Maybe we have a valid use case for a blockchain?

Yes, clearly composer was a huge step for PHP, there is a before and after composer.
Well, yes, since when you have a city (SF, in this case) zoned for ~60+% single family homes[1] and people with higher incomes are moving in to the area (by and large tech workers, in this case), something has to give: either the city needs to increase housing supply (by increasing density), or existing homes will go to those that can pay the most for them.

Tech workers, for all the influence they have in the area, really have not advocated in any organized way to update zoning laws in the city proper (with the occasional exception of Google/Facebook/BigCo subsidized housing for their own employees that is eerily reminiscent of company towns).

The bias is justified, imo. I'd consider myself a member of both NUMTOT and the tech industry, and trust me, I don't think I'm alone when I say most tech workers would also like to have cheaper rent.

It is an interesting question. If the CEO of JPMorgan said publicly "We are bankrupt" as a joke, the impact on the entire economy would (temporarily) be ginormous. I presume it is illegal for a CEO of a public company to make such statements, but I am not sure. Anyone know?
Probably done on a periodic basis, so, wait.
My Philips start TV can connect wired or wireless. Using Netflix native on it, goes quicker than via Chromecast. The EPG data contains an ad (!!!). I cannot even pay to remove it. So I just use my settopbox to watch & record. Advantage to that is that I am allowed to skip ads on local recordings (if I use remote recordings though, only on public broadcast TV, and they only last for a week).

Chromecast is basically a smart TV on a stick, controlled with a remote from smartphone (and partly, even the remote control of the TV). You can run a Chromecast wired as well. Same with Steam Link. It can run over wireless or wired.

I find on all of these wired far more reliable, and I keep more bandwidth for my wireless applications. Even my printer is wired. Then again, I got a 8 port gbit switch for connectivity and barely any wires visible.

The caveat is that my smart devices, although wired, are currently NOT on a VLAN, and that Chromecast is a data resource for Google, and as I mentioned the EPG data on the TV contains commercials. Instead of the Steam Link I could even just run a HDMI cable straight from computer. I can also plug in a Bluetooth USB adapter on my USB hub to listen via Bluetooth on the couch to the TV.

Other than that, its a great TV for its price. Make sure your TV has enough HDMI ports. You might also wanna have a look at Chromecast alternatives such as Miracast devices or Amazon Fire Stick (the ethernet adapter came free with Chromecast Ultra but for the other Chromecasts it costs 20 EUR extra).

A lot of the world lives on less than $2 a day.

You can buy a cheap refurbished Android phone for $5.

And you have SMS cointext.io to transact for instance.

You do not need a hardware wallet, only to memorize the 12 word seed phrase.

Just look at the set of users who have phones without adequate banking. You will see this is measured in the billions of people.

The best hope to lift people out of poverty is for us to transact and deal with these people.
I don't disagree, but this is saying more about how miserable nuclear fission is than anything else.

If we have a path which involves zero radioactive waste, and zero biologically-active radioactive effluents, obviating the need for nuclear anything - why would we bother?
> My @Sony "smart" TV has updated itself and tried to force me to use a new app from https://samba.tv and boy oh boy... this is worse than recent @facebook stuff.

In what way do they force you to use it?
Well, you can always partition a large cluster into many small clusters and prevent cascading failures, other issues from affecting everyone or getting too long to recover from. This is like a very basic reliability technique everyone should know.
It set the precedent that they do filtering. It is now being used in legal cases against Cloudflare by companies suing them to force them to filter other things.

Any censorship immediately leads to massive censorship even if they don't want to expand it. That's why it has to be stopped at the start; not done at all. Dumb pipe or censorship pipe.
Context matters though, doesn't it?

It’s funny sitting here on HN reading about this, with many HN readers outraged and disappointed that a company would do such anti-user stuff in their products. HN readers, quite a few of whom, are likely complicit software engineers at companies doing similar anti-user things.

You ask when these practices are going to end? They will not end while we quietly implement them! You look for who to blame? As a profession we need to look in the mirror.

These surveillance boxes masquerading as consumer electronics don’t build themselves.
Could you expand on why it makes you anxious and depressed?
Because Tesla should be a subject of the NTSB investigation, they should _not_ be a party to it, any more than a suspected criminal should be a party to their criminal investigation. Tesla should have no discretion over what data they provide to the NTSB. Calling them a "party" sounds like an excuse to control the information flow, not narrowly tailored to a legitimate state interest.

Tesla has an ethical and fiduciary duty to carry out their own independent investigation, to the extent that it doesn't interfere with the NTSB's. These organizations do not have the same interests. They don't have to be adversaries, but it's inappropriate for them to be partners. The public is better served by multiple independent investigations.
It's none of your business.

Studying clouds may not be a productive way to explore physics, but it is absolutely a productive way to explore clouds! Such study may very well be informed by physics, but the study of clouds (and related phenomena) is a field in its own right.

All of that is to say that I don’t find statements like “X is just <some underpinning of X>” to be particularly consequential, even if such a statement is true. The higher-level phenomenon is still worthy of study in its own right.
> The contrast is too high, everything is too focused. I don't need to see skin pores from across the room.

I re-watched a couple of episodes of "Friends" recently (apparently the series is now available on Netflix) at a couple of friends' house, on a huge tv set, and I had a totally different experience compared to what I remembered from last watching the episodes ~15 years ago because I could only focus on looking at the actresses' faces, asking myself: "Did Monica's face really looked like that? Did Phoebe's?". I'll stick with 1080 or even with 780 from now on.

They're not doing a very good job of delivering on that then. They don't seem to have anywhere near a high enough fatality rate.
Nice article, and I agree, life is short.

This is, of course, not a new observation. It's Easter, so here are a few Biblical quotes with the same sentiment:

"What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes." (James 4:14 ESV)

"Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow." (Psalm 144:4 ESV)

It's an old observation... but it's also timeless. It's good to be reminded. Thanks.
> After my mother died, I wished I'd spent more time with her. I lived as if she'd always be there.

I love this article, and this line has always hit me particularly hard. He goes on to mention that she encouraged this illusion, and I think many people who are older do this as well.

As someone who is going through something similar, what do you do in this situation? Of course you can adjust your life to live as if people won't always be there, but how do you get them to stop encouraging the illusion?
I'm sort of thinking out loud here, but the nexus will have to consist of third-party auditors who operate based on reputation.

Right now, we have the government operating as both the "miners" and the auditors.

A middle-ground, then, might be one in which there is a general-purpose public blockchain where the government takes the role of the trusted third-party on-chain, thereby lowering the overall societal costs of things like unfulfilled contracts while still ensuring that my oil-reserves are what I say they are.

From the government's perspective I see this as desirable but falling prey to the principal-agent problem. We'd need virtually no civil-court judges or attorneys to prosecute white-collar crime anymore. It'd lower costs, but in doing so unemploy many of the people in the system.
These people are basically giving driving lessons, just to cars instead of people. Regular driving instructors can do their job fulltime in a safe way without getting distracted. They don't control the car most of the time, yet they still are able to stop it in case of a student error.

So to me the question is: What is making this difference? Is it the level of training for the instructor? Human interaction? Is it the sign on their car that shows it's a lesson car to the other drivers? Or is it something else?

PS, this post is based on the way driving lessons happen in the Netherlands. I'm not sure if it's completely comparable to the US.
That seems to be the sad point; fusion is always in the future.
On the other hand, at a fixed doubling period of 35 years (i.e. assuming 2% yearly growth) we'll get at that "one extra sun" level in only 500 years.

Or if we take "5% of an extra sun" as the problematic power output, it will take only 150 years.

(Now consider that in the golden age of oil before the oil shocks in the seventies, oil consumption was growing more like 8% per year.)

This. AArch64 is far more than a simple "ARM, but with 64-bit addresses" change, most obviously predicated instructions are gone (which is a big deal for OoOE) and exceptions are vastly simpler.

It would seem reasonable to me that once someone stepped off the curb that the human driver should get notified that there was someone in the street on their left. It would heighten their awareness and make it more likely they'd react if the car did not. Something as simple as right and left buzzers. Course if the lidar didn't detect the person at all then Uber's problems are much worse.

It's too crowded, the rent is obscene and it has nothing to offer besides higher paid work, which is a necessity. Manchester is a way better choice.
- News reports have mentioned that Uber was using some of their driverless cars to pick up passengers, for which the driver would need access to the Uber app.

- You want the driver to be able to call 911 if they're involved in an accident, or are the victim of a crime, or have a medical emergency.

Presumably, they'd only be firing people for using their phones while the car was driving itself, and they were supposed to be supervising it. It would be OK to use a phone while the car wasn't moving.

I think you're describing SAE level 4, while the parent is arguing for level 3 being unsafe. Level 3 means the user has to take over from an active driving situation within a pre-specified time period, whereas level 4 means the car will always be able to hand over in a "safe" state (an thus with unbounded response time).

Serious question: what could be the cost of fusion generated electricity if the reactors go mainstream like fission reactors? Unlike uranium, hydrogen is for free and there is no cost associated with storing burned fuel. You can probably also save a lot on safety systems. But you still probably need a badass reactor with auxiliary power source, huge steam turbine and cooling towers. Or not? What factors will determine the cost?
be careful what you wish for, you might just get it and the rate they are going rather soonish
I was thinking that, too, but remember that feeding babies excess carrots actually changes skin color from the beta carotene, and then there are issues with gas and bloating from cruciferous vegetables.
I've implemented DNS before. Doing this saves an entire 300 lines of code. At the same time, it makes the DNS server much more complicated. On top of that, implementing a compliant posix libc will now either use a completely different code path, or pull in a huge amount of code to implement HTTP, HTTP/2, and QUIC. If the simpler, cleaner, and more performant route is taken, it willgbreak when someone screws up "legacy" dns without noticing, because it works in the browser.

It's not worth the complexity of multiple protocols that do the same thing. And it's not worth making the base system insanely complicated so that the magic 4 letters 'http' can show up.

TLS? Yeah, since the simpler secure DNSes failed, we might as well use that. But let's try to keep http complexity contained.
I wonder if we can gain any insights from experiences with airplane autopilots.
No, DNS only deals with domains, not the whole URLs.
To be fair, 75% of US venture capital accumulates in just three states[1], and leaves the overwhelming majority of the country out. The US startup industry is higher but not wider than the European one.

The ethnocentrism is prevalent in US startup culture as well, it is overwhelmingly white and Asian with Hispanics and African-Americans being left out. Underprivileged minorities face steep challenges in the tech industry, almost regardless of geographical location.

Something that pretty much everyone in the world wants to see happen, but still faces a few technical hurdles, is much more likely to ever happen than something that is already possible but not enough people want, it seems to me.

Achieving ubiquitous nuclear power is more like achieving ubiquitous electric cars than achieving ubiquitous flying cars. It’ll probably happen any decade now, vs maybe never.
I'm going to go ahead and plug a script I made to do something similar (if you were to put it on a cron job I suppose): https://github.com/landaire/detweet
I don't think the OP is saying that - its more that the solution to the real problem starts in the home. The problem is described as self-absorption and addiction to social validation - a product of modern family life, perhaps?

Either way, as a parent I do believe I have a responsibility to raise my children to understand the need to balance the desire for social validation, with actual contribution to the social order. Facebook et al., don't appear to be too interested in promoting externalisation of these issues, and have demonstrated a strong willingness to do whatever they can to keep people - kids and adults alike - glued to their landing pages .. whereas if parents were raising kids to understand this trap, it wouldn't be so easy.

But, as it is, more often than not when met with the statement "I don't let my kids use Facebook", too many times other peers/parents respond with "well you're not letting your kids keep up with the times, you are damaging them by not letting them have free access to the things that 'everyone else has'" .. and here, I think, is the crux of the social dilemma. In this aspect, I agree with primitur that parenting is the solution.

Parents need to raise the next generation of humans to be wise to the ways of the wicked mind-control cults. Facebook just happens to be the contemporary version.

That's true, in Western Europe police forces are much more disciplined than in the United States. Even so, being a person of color in France is going to be a significant disadvantage in the eyes of the police, less so in most other countries but still definitely not a level playing field. I wish it were different.

What we do have is corruption, and lots of it in some places, again, less so in others. The various countries in the Union are at least as different from each other as the American states.
