It would be interesting to try emulate a many-core CPU as a GPU program and then run an OS on it.

This sounds like a dumb idea, and it probably is. But consider a few things:

* NVIDIA GPUs have exceptional memory bandwidth, and memory can be a slow resource on CPU based systems (perhaps limited by latency more than bandwidth)

* The clock speed isn't that slow, it's in the GHz. Still one's clocks per emulated instruction may not be great.

* You can still do pipelining, maybe enough to get the clocks-per-instruction down.

* Branch prediction can be done with ample resources. RNN based predictors are a shoe-in.

* communication between "cores" should be fast

* a many-core emulated CPU might not do too bad for some workloads.

* It would have good SIMD support.

Food for thought.
In general, birds do not need to flap; they can glide, and flapping is more about propulsion than lift. In the case of hummingbirds hovering or birds launching into the air from the ground, I believe it is correct to say that vortex formation is an essential part of the process. In fact, the analysis of lift generation by airfoils treats the flow as a vortex superimposed on a linear flow, so in that sense, the explanation of lift generation is both inseparable from and dependent on vortex formation, though I am not sure the article's author had this in mind.
I feel you, but also having been on the other side of things (worked for a hardware startup in the AR space), whoo boy is hardware hard.

From the side of the manufacturer, all the things you mentioned are a form of risk mitigation and demand forecasting. It's likely a fatal, company ending mistake to build 5x too many in your initial run.

So, while I'm not a huge fan of such activities, I am a HUGE fan of the devices and creativity they enable as otherwise we just wouldn't see this kind of stuff.
> Surely you’ve seen birds flying without flapping?

Isn't that when they just "ride" the winds? The wind pushing against the back of their wings which is hold angled thus pushing it higher (like a boat sail).
I would assume it means that it's a database where it's impossible to modify the version history and maintain database integrity. It would offer some protection against tampering.

> My point is that expectations of what can be achieved will have to be adjusted. India needs a huge investment of talent and money, and people would rather spend that talent and money to earn US$. The rational choice for individuals is clear.

Well, that depends on the individual. It may be a rational economic choice, but many of my friends do long for their home country and the social networks back there. Or just to not stand out from the general populace. So they will still go back.
Great storytelling, but it concludes rather abruptly. An argument of analogy and anecdote. Further, Musk is not the founder of Tesla, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning are.

Ask HN: How to select the right cloud provider?
I am wondering, how do you select your cloud provider?

I am very curious to hear, what your criteria are (price, location, features) and which cloud provider you select by default.

The one advantage of hydrogen cars, refueling speed, is not actually an advantage for typical driving habits.

A hydrogen car takes about five minutes to refuel. On a typical day, a battery car takes about five seconds to refuel: you plug it in and you leave it overnight. Sure, the actual charging takes longer, but who cares? You’re not involved.

On long trips, this reverses, but how often do you do those? Most people do a couple a year. You might lose a couple of hours waiting for charging there. Otherwise you’re saving minutes every week.

This is something I see people having a hard time truly understanding. They see that a car takes hours to recharge on a home 240V outlet, think “that’s a long time!” and stop there. They don’t realize that it’s a time saver most of the time.

Even if there was a hydrogen station on every corner, and the price was as cheap as electricity, I’d still never buy a hydrogen car. Who wants to visit a fueling station every week?
I tried one of these 2-3 years ago and briefly talked to one of the founders. It's a really cool tool, and surprisingly fun to use. I was immediately smitten and asked "how much?" The price he told me then was half the price they're advertising now, and I still balked. Admittedly I don't know the market for carpentry, but it seems like a niche product for professionals or rich hobbyists. That said though, I'd still love to have one.
Office does NOT install fast in my experience. I have downloaded the offline installer in order to not have to download office each time I need to reinstall it, but the installer often spends several minutes using 0% cpu and 0 I/O just saying “we’re getting things ready for you”
You don't even have a domain and are already charging $19 for "unlimited" notes? I like the app, it's not a bad idea, but the business model is not great.

Just storing notes isn't a great feature, there are thousands of note-taking apps out there. On Telegram itself you can just send messages to yourself and they will be stored, editable and deletable.
That would be fairly mind boggling - > 84% of the matter in the universe is black holes - we'd be living in a universe that's mostly black holes.

Sorry, I don’t really understand what you’re saying here.

Birds and airplanes work on the same principles. Airflow over the wings produces lift. That airflow also produces drag, which must be counteracted with thrust to maintain altitude. The only difference is that birds produce thrust by flapping, and airplanes produce thrust with engines. A non-flapping bird is equivalent to an airplane with the engines shut off.

Porting to Linux on Power: 5 tips that could turn a good port into a great port

Wouldn't the science being done with the results eventually benefit everyone? I'm assuming the results of protein folding are eventually used in the cure of disease or improvements in agriculture or something similar. At some level just the academic insights gained can be considered useful for society (which is why most countries have public funding for purely academic research, typically through Universities).

Hmmm... What would you recommend instead?
The prevalence in crust doesn't really matter, what matters is how much is actually in recoverable ores. Rare earth elements, despite their names, are actually reasonably common: about as common as tin or cadmium. Hell, cerium is more common than copper. They're called rare earth elements in part because it's hard to find a high enough concentration to extract and in part because they're so hard to separate from each other.
Me too! I used to be a paying customer (in 2005-2006 I think) and then when the login procedure changed to Yahoo, I could never figure out how it worked. I just stopped using it.

I never lost any image and I'm now a happy Smugmug user/customer (ha!), so I don't really care about that anymore -- but yes, the login process is important! Many users would rather change shop than put up with crazy login procedures.

I've been thinking the exact same thing for years and couldn't put it into words.

The most annoying thing is I can never be sure whether the BIG TEXT CHOPPED-OUT is actually going to be repeated again later in the article. Otherwise I'd just happily ignore those big sections every single time. As it is now, I have to read it and then get mad when moments later I find myself reading the exact same thing. I wish there was a way to stop this.

Nvidia will almost certainly respond to this challenge with it's own specialized machine learning and inference chips. It's probably what Google, Facebook and others hope. Forcing Nvidia to work harder is enough for them.

Developing a new high performance microarchitecture for GPU or CPU is complex task.
A new clean sheet design architecture takes 5-7 years even for teams that have been doing it constantly for decades in Intel, AMD, ARM or Nvidia. This includes optimizing the design into process technology, yield, etc. and integrating memory architectures. Then there is economies of scale and price points.

Nvidia's Volta microarchitecture design started 2013, launch was December 2017

AMD's zen CPU architecture design started 2012 and CPU was out 2017.

Thank you

Indeed, notes in the form of multiple texts and chatting could make things more interesting.
Honestly,I wonder if this concept isn't better suited for welding robots and plasma cutters. It seems ideally suited for those tools. You need precise control of a tool position, and the reason,they're not done by hand more right now is that access to the workpiece and clamping it in place are a huge pain.

A big problem with handheld CNC is that cutting many materials you'd want to cut requires precise control of your speed, and also requires rather large amounts of force and rigidity. CNC in wood or plastic is pretty easy, but steel is hugely more difficult. There's a reason traditional mills are made with thousands of pounds of cast steel, and it's not to make it hard for hobbyists to enter,

I wonder if a 3-5 axis might be better done by using servo-actuated brakes to constrain your motion to a desired direction and speed. Though I remain skeptical that the problem with CNC is the expense of long axes. You pay for the power, not length - a 30" ballscrew actuator costs maybe 2x as much as a 3".
My favorite is multi-selection mode. It's not the same as "Column Mode" you find in other IDEs but try it and you will never want another editor again:

(Option)Alt-Cmd + Down or Up arrow key

From there, you can use arrow keys as normal, but instead of controlling one carrot, you control all the ones you created. So if I use the shortcut key to move to the next word, they all do, same with end of line, or what have you. In the past I had to use regex in my editors to extract quoted text in each line... now I just use multi-select. Each carrot can also be created with the mouse in the Selection menu.

Edit: Apparently it's a feature lifted from Sublime and in other IDEs - thanks!
There is no equivalent, in flying (other than balloons), of a sailboat running before the wind. A gliding bird is always facing into the relative airflow.
Ask HN: How can learn about Linear Programming/Optimization?

I'm sure that the bill's sponsors, if aware of this problem, would reply that either:

- Existing VC's should find a way to buy out or otherwise get rid of their Chinese (or other foreign) LP's.

- New firms whose partners are exclusively American (or possibly from more "friendly" countries instead of rivals like China) should be founded to take advantage of the opportunities that the bill deliberately closes off from more international firms.

You're right, I do not. Sure, but these companies would just relocate again?

I don't see how that fixes things at the global level (aside from them leaving Iceland and relocating somewhere else, of course).

Now they might at least be paying taxes and generating some jobs.

Ok, so it's no fault of your own and you need a crutch, by your own reasoning.

That doesn't follow at all. Lots of people remove themselves from their native culture, which is often toxic and sometimes benign.

When I will finally be able to speak my personal thoughts without beeing downvoted by fanboys with low self value who are bonding their self worth with a popular brand. Guys seriously, you need psychiatric care, you ARE WRONG but due to your own personal problems you are beeing pestilence to the world. It is simple to diagnose, just check your posts, if you are defending one brand, infront others you are flawed. Every brand does something wrong, but your perception is it is better.

If that’s what you got out of it, you may have missed the message.

To me, the “we invented enhance” thing was just an illustration. I read the article as a tale of how choosing certain technologies can affect the way that applications are designed / developed / maintained, and that choosing the right tooling and patterns - in anticipation of how they will be understood and used - is an essential skill to develop for a senior-level developer.

No, that second link describes the equal time fallacy, which I called out as wrong in my original comment.
Unfortunate that you're being downvoted because the slow start time of VS code is honestly such a big blocker that it outweighs most of these features for me. I just can't wait 10 seconds every single time I want to take a note.
It's confusing to call this a "shaper," when it is not the machine tool. (A shaper is a kind of linear lathe.)
I care because I love Berlin and many of the Turks in it. That's derpy and selfish but it's also true. And I care because when I was a kid, I had a good Turkish friend whose family treated me like family, and I still have to smile when I recall those times. I care because it really is a disgrace that what Atatürk started ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustafa_Kemal_Atatürk ) was trampled by fundamentalism.

But Erdogan and his brownshirts don't get to define the whole spectrum of Turkey, of its culture and individuals, for me. I know kinda nothing of it, but already know too much to accept that. And I know intellectually that I should feel about every country as I do when I actually do love people that have a connection to a specific one. It's a failure of imagination, that's all. Why should we care about this and other things? Because we should be better than we are, and then we would care.
Nope, not related at all
I'm not sure where this feature originated, but it's been a core feature of Sublime for as long as I've used it, and is also broadly available in other editors. Definitely not a VS Code-specific thing, though it's still great!
Well this is an advertisement for Harvard Business School, and it's namesake.

I can do the same for my Alma Mater, Purdue University.

It turns out, if you can last 150 years, good stuff eventually happens. If you can last 400 years, triply so.
Strasbourg court does not override local highest courts, they have different kind of work to do - they override laws that are against EU regulations. Strasbourg court is there to determine if an implementation of a regulation is in line and might overrule it (the law), but if it is in line, then they will not (and can not) help the company at all. And since GDPR is very broad, it's very easy to come up with absurdly strict laws that are perfectly in line with the regulation, and even the poorest EU governments have an extreme abundance of legal resources compared to even the biggest companies. Strasbourg court is not the highest court instance (that's the local highest/constitutional court), there is no such thing in the EU, the EU is not a state.

Glad to see this article getting some attention. My university training is in Religious Studies and it became clear pretty quickly that Buddhism suffers just as much as any other religion from the pathologies of global institutions of power.

The one that always gets me, as it's so glaringly obvious, is that Buddhism is so audaciously and unapologetically male-dominated. It just seems embarrassing to me that on the one hand the teachings place so much emphasis on kindness to all living beings, yet none of the major lineages (until recently under Western influence) have female lineage holders - therefore those that are considered worthy enough to pass the teachings on to the next generation.
That's such a good explanation! I chose the spreadsheet life instead of the space life, but I especially love difficult ideas explained simply!
