That is quite the stretch - no one is arguing that I have the right to beat up my attacker years later. That portion of our interaction is governed by laws.

However, talking about facts that have occurred is ALWAYS my legal right. This has nothing to do with the crime the person committed, or the time served, or any other punishment. I am allowed to talk about events, and the legal process is entirely separate.

In fact, a simple example will make this clear. Imagine that 10 years ago, Joe did two things on a random monday - he beat up a guy, and he also stood someone up on a date.

By your reasoning, if Joe served time and was released, we would no longer be able to talk about his crime. We couldn't tell people, "Hey, that is Joe - ten years ago, he beat up Steve really bad. Served 3 years for it. Be careful around him."

What about the person he stood up on a date? Is she allowed to say, "Hey, that is Joe - ten years ago, he stood me up on a date. You should not go on a date with him" Is this also not allowed? Are we not allowed to talk about negative things people did more than X number of years ago? Or does it only apply to times you broke the law and were convicted, and served your time?

That seems REALLY strange. We are allowed to talk about things for as long as we want. As long as we aren't committing libel or slander, we have free speech to tell people how we feel about other people, and we are allowed to use examples going back as far as we want.

That is what freedom of speech is all about.
Shout out to SCRAM (RFC 5802) which enables hashed password storage on both the client and the server.
You're glossing over the bigger problem. The "person/organization who ought to know about these things" not only has possession of all the data about user behavior on their platforms, they also control the means by which content producers access users.

You're understating the monopolistic power that Facebook's network effects have produced in the online content space.

It's only recently that third party analytics companies came into the space with an incentive and enough data to make meaningful market-wide forecasts.
Looks neat! Glad to help.
And they're assuming $0.1 per kWh, which is ok for the US, but could mean faster ROI around the world.

I agree that DNS might be a better use case for blockchains than money.
No single person understands how a modern smartphone is built. From the camera optics, transistors, OS, wireless systems, AI, etc it simply covers enough domains to be incomprehensible for a single person. What abstraction provides is a means for organizations to understand it.

By comparison DNA is actually a fairly reasonable, program 3 Billion base pairs, but fairly compressible and that’s covering far more than just the brain. But the brain lacks those easily separated chunks, making it harder to decode but not nessisarily more complex.
> 10-cores x2 == 20 cores at $1500 total.

Isn't the Epyc 7281 basically the same price with 32 cores and 16 memory channels (16 cores and 8 channels per socket)?
Look, I agree that it is not healthy to hold a grudge. My point is that I don't think it is our legal system's job to determine how long a grudge can be held.

How long you should be angry for and how long you can talk about it is between the person and their therapist, not the courts.
Although a good point on itself to ponder about, I don't think in this particular discussion it is logical to compare the US to non-EU and poor EU countries.
I'm in the same boat. Been running my SB for ~2x longer than I've ever stuck with a primary system before. No complaints, it's been a great system. But I'm really looking forward to getting more threads. Probably won't go with TR though, I think the mainstream Ryzen will do what I need and won't have to deal with the latency idiosyncrasies.
Apart from the fact that I think client-side hashing is silly, I agree with you; we're saying the same thing about the feasibility of PAKEs in browser applications.
Yes, in principle. A dedicated GPU will always be "fatter" in SIMD than a CPU.

But a CPU has latency benefits. Most noticeably, it takes only a few clock cycles for an Intel CPU to transfer data from its RAX register -> AVX vector registers, compute the solution, and transfer it back to the "scalar world".

This level of data-transfer is done within single-digit nanoseconds.

In contrast, any GPU memory transfer takes hundreds-of-nanoseconds to microseconds... an order of 100x to 10,000x slower than transferring between Scalar-code and AVX-code on a CPU.

----------

So GPUs are good for bulk compute (big matrix multiplies, Deep Learning, etc. etc.)... but I'm definitely interested in the low-latency uses of SIMD.

For example: Consider a SIMD-based Bloom Filters to augment a Hash Table (or any data-structure, really). Multi-hash systems like Cuckoo-hashes have also been successfully implemented with CPU-SIMD acceleration.

You can use CPU-accelerated SIMD to accelerate CPU-based algorithms. And CPUs certainly can benefit from fatter, and better designed, SIMD instruction sets.
> Because tyranny of the minority is much better...

That comment is basically a repetition of your last one with no further explanation or elaboration. It's pretty clear that you have the opinion that political representation should only be proportional to population and that all other systems are bad. We can't have a discussion if you don't want to engage other ideas.
> it's because operating systems generally don't provide APIs for network protocols higher than layer 4, and we need the protocol to be natively supported by all TCP/IP stacks to grease wider network protocol adoption and reap the benefits for all network applications)

I think the exact opposite is true in reality, people want to nimbly implement protocols so badly they'd rather shove everything on top of UDP/TCP or even HTTP than deal with waiting around for whole operating systems to age out. From a pure technical design standpoint I agree a lot of things should be done at lower layers but I don't think it's possible for this to happen as quickly as a lot of people are wanting.

Not to mention the second travesty of the layered protocol model in the real world: hardware and configurations have started to grow around it. A lot of networks can't handle QUIC simply because UDP 443 won't go through their firewall yet people are expecting everyone to just jump up and start NATing completely different L4 protocols? Remember IPv6 has been around since the late 90s yet people are still sticking to the same NAT solution.

Became more rambly than I wanted but I'm just a network guy frustrated that we can't keep building up the protocol stack nor can we tear it down.
I think you might be misunderstanding me. I'm not claiming that empires (or the ottoman empire specifically) was good, or that persecutions didn't hapoen. All sorts of awful ethnic persecutions happened within empires. American slavery was initially a British imperial institution. The word pogrom comes from the Russian empire.

But, it is also true that empires tended to be pluralistic, in that different cultures lived within them for very long periods. Nation states value cultural cohesion and national homogeneity, and pluralism has, in many cases, ceased when nations succeeded empires politically.

Compare nearly any central or austrian european capital in 1900 or 2000. They became far more homogeneous. Take ottoman cities (Cairo, Istanbul, bagdad...), pluralism reversed. It some cases (eg Istanbul), it receded fast and hard. In others, it took longer.

They have said that there is new hardware coming later for FSD and the existing cars sold with FSD would get hardware upgrades. I take that to mean that the FSD will not run on current hardware.
Giving people a second chance is not something that can mandated by law. Hell, the law doesn't even guarantee people a first chance.

This is a cultural shift, and it needs to be fought in the court of public opinion, not actual courts.
>I haven't felt this at all. What companies are you applying to? How much experience do you have?

Mostly mid-size startups. I have 5 years experience as a front end dev, but being self taught with no degree I look pretty bad on paper.

It's never been a problem for me in the past, but it seems like the market for mid-level self taught developers is drying up.
In New Zealand we have strong name suppression laws - if the court orders it, a defendants name cannot be published in any media (even a tweet naming the person would be illegal, and they do prosecute). AFAIK, in most cases you can still go attend the hearing in the court and see who the defendant is - so it's not really secret, but difficult to find out without going to some effort.

The theory behind it is that the public shaming (particularly for public figures) from being named would be a punishment, and you shouldn't be punished for a crime without having been found guilty. There's been quite a few high profile abuse cases with this recently where rumours spread around around which 'high profile sportsman' it is.

These days with blogs and social media it usually just turns into a rumor mill, and someone outside NZ jurisdiction can name the person legally. It's also a pretty clear violation of free speech, and judges seem to be very willing to give name suppression, and sometimes maintain it in place even if there is a plea deal and the person is convicted - There's a solid argument that it results in abusers being back out in the public, without people even being warned. So it's not exactly my favourite bit of NZ law :)
Aren't you shouting out to a protocol that is in every material sense worse than a PAKE?
<I'm not a linguist, please don't laugh at my elementary knowledge>
I only knew Noam Chomsky from his political thoughts and knew he dabbled in linguistics but never knew what exactly he contributed to in this field.

I only found out recently (while reading The Story of Human Language) that he's actually huge[ly disruptive] in the field and came up with this line of thinking. That language isn't just an expression of culture or of general intelligence but is genetic.

His justifications were that 1, in cases where children were isolated from outside contact from birth, once reintegrated at an older age, they can become "generally intelligent and cultured" but can fail to ever learn a language which is very peculiar. 2, that culture can be wildly diverse but there are no non-speaking human groups just like there are no non-reproducing human groups. And 3, this particular case. Where damage to the brain affects very particular parts of not just speech but language without affecting other cognitive functions.
Requiring open finances for any organization that donates to political campaigns or advertisements for, or against a given party or candidate would go a long way.

Eliminating corporate personhood as a legal construct or adding a non-living entity construct as an amendment would help too.

No, mostly not.

This only has a problem because of title case, and the frequency with which it causes this exact problem is one reason title case is falling out of style.
I did a little digging and, it appears that Mitsubishi and CoeLux have partnered on these artificial skylights and, although the CRI isn't listed, the CoeLux site says this:

"CoeLux systems combine LED lighting that reproduces sunlight spectrum, direction and brightness with optical systems and nano-structured materials that reproduce the endless distance of the sky and sun."

If it actually does reproduce the sunlight spectrum it'd have to have a very high CRI, no? Toshiba has their TRI-R LEDs claimed to be capable of 95% of the sunlight spectrum and they are rated at a CRI of Ra97. Yuji has LEDs with claimed CRI of 98, so it seems within the realm of possibility that these fake windows are very convincing.
Interestingly, medical bankruptcies aren't all that much higher in the US versus Canada, who has universal medical coverage[1].

Turns out that a major cause of medical bankruptcies is the inability to work, not just the medical bills.

This is a good pun when speaking about an MP3 player.
Probably both. Or maybe just a story about a thing that happened.
I think the "but some raisins in the side" thing wouldn't happen, since it's a opt-in system and it's in the interest of the town to keep the relationship up and stay on your mind.
I strongly disagree. In some states that would be the case. In others, there would be enormous regression.
> apparently we used to be better about this before these institutions shut down in the 80s-90s. I still don't really understand why this happened or how the resulting issues haven't been addressed.

There are two explanations, idealistic and cynical; I'll let you decide what percentage of accuracy applies to each (neither were 0% or 100%).

The idealistic justification was that the institutional option was pretty grim (think "one flew over the cuckoo's nest") and that many of those patients would do better at home or in halfway houses.

The cynical explanation was that this was at the beginning of the huge anti-tax / anti-government wave that began with Reagan's election and continues today: closing the institutions cut government expenditure.

I would encourage you to be grateful for the privilege you have in working in tech and pair that with your personal values of making a positive contribution.

There are stacks of social issues locally to you and beyond that benefit from tech improvements.

The technology is progressing anyway, bring your focus to ensuring that tech is deployed for the greatest social benefit and call others to your cause you’ll soon find like minded folk.

Anyone have good examples of social projects that are based around using tech for social good they can share?

My grandmother is a ham that is heavily involved in her ham club. Everyone was older, but polite. Of course they have different political views, but they're not a bunch of creeps, although there are some weird hams for sure. I knew one guy in college that was getting a license so the government couldn't listen to him like they could for his phone. I was like "what...you do realize you're basically broadcasting out to the whole city".
BTW most shelters are pretty scary and many people feel safer on the street than in them.

>Cos that would have a discrimination lawsuit written all over it. HR and/or Recruiters also never gives candid feedback for the same reason. Because if they do, someone will eventually sue the company for discrimination.

Out of curiosity, is it just one of those inevitabilities or is it really easy to get in a bind with discrimination in rejecting (or firing I'd imagine) someone?

I wasn't aware of ERMSB "Enhanced Rep MOVSB". Thanks for the tip.

Seems to be a feature in Ivy Bridge and later, which happens to be around the time AVX2 started.
That’s very suprising to me; I have given interviews at Google and Apple and they really drilled into my head that giving any feedback about performance was left to the recruiter, and any response no matter how germane it sounded could open up the company to lawsuits. That kind of answer was exactly what we were told we could not give.

It's simplistic to lay publishing's woes so squarely at the feet of Facebook's video stats. This was contributing factor, certainly, but the executives who pivoted to video weren't abandoning 7% margins on text in search of 15% margins — if they were, they'd likely have left the text operation intact and built video atop a successful business. Editorial operations were already struggling! In some cases, the promise of video may have spurred additional investment in publishers that wouldn't have been able to get it with just text. While video is more expensive to produce, the CPMs are also higher, which creates a bigger cashflow. It seems likely that this was a factor in Buzzfeed's NBCUniversal rounds.

As people already said, there is little point on talking about hypotheticals, since those properties are inherent...

But there are tools that can distribute a program over a network, and let your functions run at any node with the right capabilities "just like" (the network allowing) if it was local.

This is another point that the microservices pushers miss. It's a solved problem, and can be done in a much better way than what they push around.
This is definitely one of the drivers of lower healthcare costs outside the US.

A good example is the cbc.ca article where two friends were diagnosed with the same cancer. The one in the US got treated with the latest cancer drug and is remission, where the woman living in Canada has to sell her house to pay for it.[1]

"It's crazy that I live in Canada, but now I'm looking at having to sell my house for coverage of my medication."

1. I think the title may be a little misleading. Only 3% declare bankruptcy, though higher numbers deplete all their savings. It's hard to find a good estimate of per capita "savings". A search indicates that the median savings account balance in the US is about $5,000. The median 401(K) appears to be about $36,000. Based on this, I'll assume that means the typical out-of-pocket costs of cancer treatment are somewhere around $30,000. That seems in line with what the out-of-pocket costs for 5 years of treatment might be under my current coverage.

2. The problem with any discussion of healthcare issues is that we are naturally swayed by our empathy for those who are suffering. Almost all of us would choose to pay whatever was needed to save a loved one, and would grant that ability to others if we could. It seems simple enough to say "we should spend less money on the military/international aid/tax breaks for corporations/the NEA/etc." if it means that we can provide affordable treatment to those who are suffering. Unfortunately, until the singularity arrives there is probably always going to be a cost that is too high, and hard decisions must be made. As a Canadian, I know that one of the downsides of universal healthcare is that some treatments must be rationed and bureaucrats will make decisions affecting the life of my loved ones. Now that I live in the US I can avail myself of diagnostics and treatments that may simply not be available in Canada. The cost may beggar me and the likelihood of a positive outcome may be remote, but it is my choice, and a choice that may not be available under other systems.

3. No, I have not read all of the comments. As with many HN comment pages, the marginal value of descendant comments seems to drop off quickly.
I ported some OpenCL stuff to ISPC and it did quite well. More readable, simpler deployment (just a .so loaded with ctypes, numpy arrays passed in).

A lesser know aspect is that it can generate generic vector code which can be written against an arbitrary instruction set (provided the implementation is provided at compile time). It seems this was how the original support for KNL was done.
Occam's razor suggests you're completely wrong.
Ham radio is an incredibly large hobby much like model railroading or warhammer40K or photography or RC aircraft or sex or ... computer programming.

Similar to every other area of human activity thats ever existed and ever will, tiny sub-group Z will always trash talk everyone doing sub-group A thru Y as not enjoying the model railroading hobby the 'correct' way or not using the 'correct' editor/IDE or not doing the correct thing in the bedroom or whatevs.

So its discussing the usual collision of "whoa this new activity (fad?) is becoming super popular outta no where" with the usual "What I've been doing for 50 years is the only correct way to do it"

There's nothing inherently wrong or bad or incorrect about SSB analog voice modulation on wavelengths near 80 meters; but you can't expect life long aficionados of that particular sub-group to be excited about some rapidly growing subgroup they're not interested in. So thats the "FT8 is killing ham radio"

Now as for why any of this matters, the analog HF SSB crowd has cornered the national USA hobby club such that QST magazine etc promotes 80M SSB operation in the USA as being the "only real ham radio" and then the usual political fallout and drama.
Right now my grandmother has stage 4 cancer, and has opted to not treat. The chances were very low for survival and the process painful. I'm pretty sure I would opt similarly if over 60. It sucks, and it's hard to see her that way. I'm heading over to see her after work in a few minutes (she's gotten worse the past couple days).

I don't think it's responsible to always opt for treatment. It sucks and it's a hard decision to make and everyone needs to decide for themselves. Your scenario 1, for example also likely includes $30-200k in medical bills that your family has to pay when you die. Do you have your estate in a trust? There's a lot of things that nobody considers.

I loved the Asterix books growing up - and I still do. I proudly have all the Goscinny/Uderzo books on my shelves (alongside a complete set of Tintin). I’ve read a few articles like this and each reinforces what a masterful job Anthea Bell and Derek Hockridge did.

Similarly, I once read something about how hard it was to translate the Discworld books into other languages, while maintaining a roughly comparable level of jokes.
Exactly. Why hasn't Apple sued Bloomberg?
