If you like quaternions, you should check out the split-quaternions. They're equivalent to the 2x2 matrices, but help you understand them better by using analogies to the highly familiar and intuitive quaternions.
So the author is discovering Say's Law [1] - basically supply can create it's own demand. Now if you talk to an economist they'll tell you Say's Law is bunk and has been for quite a while, supply doesn't create it's own demand. But let's say you don't mention Say's Law and you talk to an immigration economist, they'll say something like immigration is good because the supply of new labor actually creates even higher demand for labor than what they displace, basically Say's Law but disguised.

Which is all to say, does supply drive it's own demand? Hard to say but regardless YIMBYs need to deepen their explanations of the economics behind the issue, supply and demand graphs are good for introducing undergrads to the basics, they're not good for justifying very expensive and highly redistributive policy.

sidenote: draw a supply and demand graph. Now draw a second graph but make demand slightly upward sloping. Increase supply. What happens to price? Just googling around I found several articles about upward sloping demand in housing. It appears to be contentious (urban economics isn't an area I know too much about) but is something that should be considered.

The Developer Coefficient (good devs harder to find than cash) [pdf]
This is inaccurate. The first thing this company built was a programmable quantum computer. The second thing they did was build a quantum integrated circuit fabrication facility. 4 or 5 years in they started doing access models with software (“web app”, a term that’s also inaccurate, and DB).

Having a quantum integrated circuit without a way to access it (a cloud platform, in Rigetti’s case), is like having a CPU without a motherboard. How might you expect to program the integrated circuit if it has no infrastructure to allow it to be programmed? This is a key ingredient to quantum advantage, not just the hard science of manufacturing scalable and fault-tolerant integrated circuits, especially since the notion of programming such a circuit is already a woefully nascent field.
You are just retarded. The guy which tells people with depression to snap out of it. If you think there is no way to manipulate yourself into a delusion you better read a bit more than the wikipedia article of the term you want to school people on the internet.
Antirez opened an issue in Redis repo for Changing Redis master-slave replication terms with something else: https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/5335

I think it's best if we give our thoughts there.
Huh, I've never noticed this down in the footer.

It's a bit of an outlier: everything else down there is static pages about the site or email links.
I lose so much respect for people like this.

I don't want to offend Americans, but this is mostly an American thing and it's not just corporate: it's politics, religion, NGOs, entertainment, news - everywhere. (America literally invents it's own religions!)

The scariest part is when you meet true believers, those not just 'playing the game' but are really on the koolaid.

I believe this is because in America, people don't have quite as much of a cultural foundation to buy into, or rather, the local culture might be sparse, or unappealing. In non-American Western cultures and certainly Japan - there are establishment role models for people to look up to, across the spectrum in business, politics, nobility, etc. and there are tons of accepted cultural norms in sports, the arts, culture, cuisine etc.. There are more 'established ways' about everything from office culture, to manners, to politics, to religion. It's as though there are fewer 'seekers' perhaps because people are more grounded in their identities. Paradoxically this leaves less room for true change to happen because, in a way innovation often comes about when there's a little bit of kool-aid in the mix.

You can see this with Nike's recent commercialization ostensible social justice movements, or even with some of Steve Job's old ads. The one with Gahndi in it ... 'memba that? So funny.

I wish De Tocqueville were still alive to give us an updated view on things.
Not to mention that Musk works closely with the DoD in his SpaceX contracts, and therefore has a top-secret security clearance for launching the X-37B.

At least for mortals, doing scheduled drugs may revoke your clearance, regardless of whether it's legal according to state law.
Ask HN: Why do executives get high severance packages?
I really think Intel lost its way back in the Barrett era and never managed to find it (and I think AMD is really significantly exceeding its historical trend line right now) but despite all that I am dubious about semiaccurate.

Looking back at other submissions from that site ( https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=semiaccurate.com ) it appears many HN readers are too. Based (only) on the submissions, it looks a bit like an AMD fan site.
The problem with working out of libraries and similar spaces is that you have to jump outside (or wherever) to do phone calls. If that isn't part of your routine, not an issue obviously. I do sometimes work out of a library but I end up having to move elsewhere to do calls a few times during a typical day.
This just isn't true.

Plenty of people (millions, maybe billions) use Facebook without being damaged by it.
Yeah, I won't disagree that things can be managed given certain conditions. There are definitely better and worse ways of greeting pain for the average person.

But I'd never say it as an absolute and I think that's incredibly dangerous and the "suffering is an optional thing we invent in our heads" all over this thread is making me cringe.
He's a terrible candidate. Categorically referring to birth control as "abortion inducing drugs" is anti-science, religious based ideological nonsense. If your position is all abortion is murder, say so instead of distorting the fact the vast majority of birth control is about pregnancy prevention. But yes, in fact Catholics and quite a few Christians believe that preventing pregnancy is a mortal sin, and it is wrong to support any pregnancy prevention - to the degree that masturbation, condoms, and pulling out are sinful. And therefore health insurance should not pay for birth control of any kind let alone abortion. That's what they're after, is religious exemptions by any business to not cover things they morally oppose.

But people seem to think all judges are the same, both parties are the same, and all politicians are the same, as if all arguments are the same, and that this nominee doesn't really matter.
Purely hypothetical idea I just made up, just throwing it up here as a trial balloon: maybe the reason this VC exec (and others working for him) actually got disinterested, is that they don't see many good opportunities for investment appearing. Which would mean the real reason they are winding things down because they think the bubble is popping soon.

No idea if it's true, just putting it up for comment.

If your state is not where you want it to be then you have to change it somehow. There are many ways to do it, but maybe consider taking a break from work and doing something else if you can afford it.

Volunteer somewhere, help someone else out if you are in a position to do so.

If you think it's medical/clinical then seek professional help.

There are many buddhist/christian/hindu/etc. retreat centers around the world, consider a stay there for a few days and keep an open mind, you may find something there. It's not much different then a mental hospital except they won't force you to take meds.

Many times for smart/technical folks, the problem is less psychochemical and more intellectual/philosophical in nature. All the best, hope you find the help/motivation you need..
> This is not true for any recent, competent compiler. I can write a template function in C++ code with a regular loop over arrays and it gets vectorized withSIMD instructions automatically according to architecture. Sure, it’s not JIT but it still never requires intrinsics

The relevant comparison here is against matlab. If you want to spend two weeks writing and debugging an optimized version of matrix mult for a custom type in c/c++, that's your business, but one can do it in a day in julia and be fairly confident it will just work.
I don't think that's a bad thing -- it's people trying to test their mutual understanding.

Since bronze and silver largely only have one AVX-512 FP unit, running AVX-512 in the L2 license is almost totally pointless: you'd often be better off running twice as many AVX/AVX2 instructions on the two 256-bit units since you run at a higher frequency and the FLOP/cycle is the same.

The exception would be if your kernel can make some good use of other wide instructions such as memory access or shuffles.
Use a container. I recommend singularity, works great with julia. Shipped a single binary, deployed on a supercompute center, ran 20 batches over 500 nodes, 16 cores per node, no problem.
Design with Difficult Data
"painful and I am embarrassed by many decisions that I have made."

This I get. One of the hardest mental blocks that I had to get around was thinking that it would be deeply embarrassing and triggering if I talked about my decisions and experiences. That I would be "found out" and "be exposed as a fraud".

It is quite the opposite. Talking about your experiences is extremely liberating. You can be who you are, you don't have to make anything up to fill in the gaps, and it is just in general much easier than worrying about conforming to some expectation. AND you will be much more interesting, because you have lessons to pass on that somebody else may find valuable and apply to their own lives.
I left Australia with the aim of relocating to Europe permanently and I traveled around Europe for a couple of months while staying at AirBnBs and working freelance for a US company (remotely); then for about 6 months I lived in Moscow (Russia) but the work started drying up (and I didn't have much savings left at that point).

I was running out of money and couldn't find a job as a developer in Moscow due to language barriers (also, developers don't get paid very well over there) - I tried to apply for jobs in London from Moscow but recruiters were ignoring my resume (probably because I was in Russia and didn't have a UK phone number). So I decided to fly to London and rent various AirBnBs (changing every week or so) while desperately applying for jobs and attending interviews. Thankfully my risky strategy worked out in the end and I managed to get a decent job and found an apartment in London.
uMatrix lets you set policies per domain / subdomain, while being very easy to use (for someone who knows web technologies). Highly recommend it.

They have their first taste of 70M unit per quarter 14nm self fabbed Modem for the next iPhone cycle. They were suppose to have 10nm online which should leave room for those 14nm orders. Since 10nm are delayed, Intel had to move some of their 14nm chipset back to 22nm. as well as limiting supply to some segment of 14nm chips.

And I wouldn't be surprised more customer are looking at EPYC anyway, every microcode update from Intel has resulted in % of performance lost, at this rate we will be back to Broadwell era soon.
Jim Keller had a stint there. Just like with AMD K8, he flew in, saved the day with Zen, then moved to greener pastures.

Just that this time, these pastures are at Intel, so who knows what'll happen?
Amazon has a huge amount of data from cities that want its new headquarters, HQ2
Importing Data the WTF Way (2009)
simile often involves hyperbole.
In this exercise, we're creating the process (the system is the process). I'm pointing out that establishing "due" is the hard part. We keep defaulting to "quantity of complaints" as if it were a due process, instead of actually establishing due processes. I'm asking all of us, as an industry, as a peer group, to question this default. If it is a slippery slope, we're already caught on it.

Yes, establishing due process is hard, but "X% of respondents complain" has never been a due process (it hurts people when it takes too many complaints to fix the thing [and sometimes with things like harassment and murder One is already too many complaints], and it hurts people when it is easy to get X% from a mob). We need to get out of the mindset that just because computers are great at tabulating quantity and numbers are "objective" that doesn't make that the right process, and certainly doesn't make that the due process.

Absolutely, too, we should include workflow steps like "extra monitoring/background checks" in our processes. Often those get ignored because they likely require people/labor and when designing systems we don't always want to include those elements.
One example, of many: Cambridge Analytica scraped information on these people. Are you sure they weren't damaged by that?

Millions of people smoke and while they don't drop dead immediately, they are damaged by it. Sometimes damage takes a long time to accumulate.
Davis demonstrated that it is possible to build a complete system from scratch that expresses your own philosophy and preferences, no matter how eccentric. He showed you can build a complete system just for yourself with no compromises arising from dependencies on other systems. There is some similarity in motivation with Wirth et al's Oberon system and Kay et al's Smalltalk and VPRI systems, but unlike them Davis was working entirely without professional or institutional connections, all the while beset by demons most of us cannot imagine. Davis showed that almost anyone starting out with modest technical skills and few resources, but enormous focus and motivation and time available, can do what Wirth et al and Kay et al can do.

Davis' work shows the way to a completely different path than the prevailing hegemonic trend to try to build this or that system that everyone will use, that will take over the world. Maybe everyone deserves their own completely idiosyncratic and personalized system that can keep on working for them despite whatever the industry behemoths do. Perhaps an interesting research project might be to try to find ways to enable ordinary developers or even ordinary people to make such personalized stand-alone systems with no dependencies, without requiring years of fanatical single-minded effort.
The only way forward is to use a term that confuses and irritates in some other way, yet remains somehow aligned with the ideals of the agitators. So, try something like...

master -> becomes: vegan

slave -> becomes: enabled

It needs to be treated this way, so that with every decision made going forward, someone is forced to remember the cognitive burden of considering the potential transgressions of cultural misinterpretation and insensitivity.

Now, when someone needs to debug production issues, their minds will weigh the consequences of a history that will never leave anyone alone, no matter how distant or removed from our current circumstances.

One major issue, at least here in Provo, was that their only high-speed offering (at first) was $70/mo. This is a high-proportion college town, and almost no students can afford that (even split amongst themselves). Even if they could, almost nobody wanted to because why pay for that when the free plan works good enough? A speed test at fast.com reveals that Netflix still streams at gigabit speeds even on the free plans. YouTube is similar. (They seem to open the fire hose on those sites!)

Now they have a fifty dollar 100 Mbps plan. But students don't pay for that, either, because they don't know about it.

It was not a well-thought-out business plan.

Their seven-year contract will be expiring soon. Will be interesting to see what happens then.
Regus rents office space, conf rooms and mail drops in nearly every major city. It's like a gym membership more than an Uber meets a cult https://regus.com

For 9x5+, I recommend leasing/renting a desk or office privately because Regus wants an arm/leg at their rates.
"Development and QA was done against the mocks because the real target system did not exist yet."

Wouldn't this be frontend discovery/development, rather than frontend testing? In this case, I recognize the tool can be useful.

"For example, what if the web service we hit returns a 500 error?"

Isn't this what development and staging environments are for? Not trying to be polemic/destructive, I just see building and maintaining mock api templates as a further overhead, when specific backend behavior can be simulated in an alternative deployment environment once a backend is in fact there. But maybe I don't fully understand the constraints posed by workflows other than mine! :-)
I've spent many, many hours playing with my mailserver and adding all of these extra features and security settings to try to keep Gmail and others from denying mail from me.

It turns out that no matter what I do, I'm pretty much out of luck because I'm sending from a non-standard (.link) domain which gets treated as spam by Gmail as well as others. I get a perfect score on every email test site I've tried, but I still go to spam (or worse) regularly which is a big problem if I ever want to use my personal email for anything important.

For anyone looking to host their own email using a personal domain, I'd suggest sticking to something like .com to avoid the hell that I've been through with this.
>ISPs likely would’ve held that as a premium tier for market segmention purposes

They still do. I don't think much has changed regarding actual fiber. Comcast, for example, will sell you passable gigabit over cable in the < $150 category (not cheap), but that has some abysmal upload (probably 20 Mbps), and lots of bufferbloat. If you want real fiber from comcast, be prepared to pay $500 in installation, $300 a month, and a 2 year contract. This is in ATL, which is a google fiber market, just that google fiber never really rolled out beyond the google fiber shop.
Low-Quality Health Care Is the Biggest Killer in Most Countries

> We are about to have the most amazing quarter in our history, building and delivering more than twice as many cars as we did last quarter. For a while, there will be a lot of fuss and noise in the media. Just ignore them.

> Obama was a lizard-person sent by Bin Laden to undermine gun rights

Telling that you're so quick to hyperbole here - of course nobody has actually been invited to speak at a college who believed that Obama was a "lizard person". People like Ben Shapiro, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, Alex Jones and Jordan Peterson have been invited and subsequently disinvited due to backlash, though, and I'm pretty sure those are the people you're backhandedly referring to. But they don't say that Obama was a lizard person. They do say that he was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii, that he's a muslim rather than a Christian, and that he's a socialist rather than a capitalist. Ironically, because these things are, at least, believable, when you say that they're no longer up for debate and won't even discuss whether or not their up-for-debate status is up for debate, you actually make it look like they _are_ true. Suppressing plausible conspiracy theories makes them seem more plausible, which is doubly distressing when they're conspiracy theories that are so easily debunked.
I moved from HTTPS Everywhere & Privacy Badger to DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials. It does the job of both of those with one add-on.

In response to HTTPS Everywhere breaking things, it does, and I've done tests comparing it and DDG PE and and found sites that would break using HTTPS Everywhere did not with DDG PE. They may simply be doing more testing.

It's absolutely a hard problem, but I think it's one that we _need_ to solve. Quantity is too easy a solution, too easily gives us a false sense of security, and we've let that be a default for too long, collectively having just about stopped there.
