I suspect if you were to compare code that uses both the remainder and quotient of a division, you would find a similar trend: the x86 division instructions produce both, but ARM has only a quotient-generating division instruction, and you have to do another multiplication(!) and subtraction to get the remainder.

That, along with the fact that earlier ARMs didn't even have a divide instruction, is one of the reasons why I'm not at all fan of the "RISC approach" --- division may not have been easy to implement, but microcoding would've been at least as fast as doing the algorithm in software while taking up far less space, and with hardware advances that move operations from microcode into direct execution, existing software that already has those instructions would automatically become faster on newer hardware with no other action needed.

Division hardware almost always will generate the remainder along with the quotient, but ARM would either need to add another instruction (no benefit to existing software, only new software that knows how to use it) or attempt to detect patterns of simpler instructions that are doing the same thing in order to replace them with one "fused uop" (much more difficult to do.)
> When I go to a restaurant, I want the food. I don't want to pay, it's just a requirement of obtaining what I desire.

IME, most people do want to exchange something for the goods and services they consume. For some, if not only so they can complain about them. I personally don't like handouts, and will go to lengths to avoid them.
I’d add that if you don’t like ultra-rare beer then it’s kind of a waste. I’m not a fan of anything that isn’t medium, and by that temp a lot of the fine marbling is effectively lost. In short, when I finally had some real A5 I realized it was totally wasted on me. If you liked carpaccio though, it would probably be amazing. I think too often people attach value judgements to grades or things, to wine and the like, when the truth is thst individual taste is highly variable. If you like a sensibly priced bottle of wine, rejoice, it’s a good wine for you. If you’re someone who skews to the high priced bottles then that’s going to be rough on the wallet, but again that’s your taste.

The biggest mistake we make with food and drink is to “want the best” instead of wanting the best for us. There is subsitute for trying lots of different types of food and drink and choosing what you like the taste of most, not what’s most applauded by experts or in vogue.
Thanks! Of note is we also contribute to keras and run javacpp: https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp which allows us to run a lot of things you only get in python directly in c. We need to work on getting some of these things more well known. Hopefully we can focus more on better community growth this year.
I had fresh real wasabi at a new york restaurant. To prove it was real, they would grate it right of the root over your plate, the way they do with expensive truffles. It was indeed very good. And yes it does hit your nose first.
I made an X.500 OSI directory services entry for my eighteen month old child. This was in 1993 twelve years later he had to ask me to try and delete it. It was still popping up in searches for his name and he didn't like it. It was remarkably hard to erase since the quipu directory was basically offline then and the data only existed in Wayback style archives.
Something I find helpful when doing statistics is to clearly state exactly what you’re trying to show or calculate before you calculate anything. “with 95% confidence level and a .1 confidence interval” is not clearly stated.

Here’s something you might credibly calculate: if you ask n scientists a yes/no question, but actually only half of scientists worldwide think “yes”, then what’s the chance that m or more of them in your sample say “yes”? The answer is the p value, and it’s not very hard to calculate.

The point of this article is that many, many papers do this calculation and ascribe totally inappropriate meaning to it. And, of course, when you clearly state what you actually calculated, it’s pretty obvious that it’s a terrible way to draw conclusions about what fraction of scientists think “yes”. This is the point of the Nature paper.

P.S. I don’t know what you’re trying to calculate, but I think you did it wrong. If you want your calculation checked, can you clarify your question?
I downvoted it because the comment has no substance besides "EU bad". It adds nothing of value to the discussion.

Definitely ideal for hot candies, and it’s good to add some kick to baked goods. Personally I’m a huge fan of using Ceylon and cassia in the same application to round out the flavor. Cassia is cheaper, but it’s not like it’s the difference between true and fake wasabi.
VR Dev since 2014, here.

The content is what makes people sick, not the hardware (these days). I haven't gotten sick in VR since Rift DK2. Been using the Vive since. No sickness in The Lab. Recently tried playing Everest VR -- queasy due to lots of flying, slow camera movement. Apollo 11 was a lot better, but still had some iffy swooping camera moves.

Basically, you can not make the same kind of game for VR that you would for non-VR, but developers keep trying and they end up making players sick.

Finally, there's a problem with maximizers vs. satisficers and VR. I would say that it's not about comparing specs and buying the "best" device -- although maybe that's a problem of price point. Instead of looking for flaws, allow yourself to suspend disbelief. This requires good content.

Every single game and experience in Valve's "The Lab" is excellent. On Rift, Robo Recall is excellent. Very few games reach this level of polish (graphics, audio, HCI).

Look at the original Star Wars (A New Hope). The special FX are shite by today's standards. If we were just to compare bullet points of features, it would be garbage. Let yourself be transported.
Thought provoking but ultimately melodramatic. Your family posted the equivalent of your baby book online. There are far worse things. You’ll be fine.
This was pretty common in the RISC heyday. The competition meant lots of jockeying to lead benchmarks from Sparc, Alpha, PA-RISC, Power, etc.

This seems to be on the rise again with AMD and ARM being closer to Intel in servers than they were in the recent past.
That maybe real but is it real and fresh? If it is mixed from the freeze dried stuff it will lose a lot of its flavor. As the article says, wasabi loses its taste quickly.
If my anecdote is useful for anything, my car drives about 90% of my 25mi commute today on its own, including leaving one highway and going over a ramp to then merge into another highway. Needless to say that I’m extremely happy with what has been delivered so far.

The big issue with inside-out tracking isn't precision, it's occlusion. While with an outside-in tracking system my hands needs line of sight to one or more sensors, inside-out tracking systems require line of sight to my head!

There's often not a path to my head, as other commenters on the thread have pointed out, in Skyrim VR.

EDIT: Here's an article that mentions this point for the Oculus Quest specifically: https://uploadvr.com/oc5-oculus-talks-quest-controller-track...
That may have been why it was used originally, but it's also used now because it's what people expect from cinnamon flavor; it's stronger than ceylon.
I'm not sure where the submitted title came from; it's not the title on the article, and it's factually incorrect -- there's only one tag (LINK), which includes an attribute (REL) that can be set five different ways. That's a lot cleaner and more orderly than "5 different tags to preload something" suggests.
I've read CALLG/CALLS VAX example, and became curious -- why waste microcode for two types of function calls, isn't that hard? Isn't "initalizing a temporary structure" expensive? I found the nice explanation [0] and apparently no, it was pretty simple.

- A parameter list is a series of words in adjacent memory cells. The AP register points to the first of these. The first word holds a COUNT of the number of parameters. The remaining words hold the individual parameters.

- CALLG copies passed address to AP register. It must contain parameter list in the right format.

- CALLS simply pushes the parameter (argument count) to the stack. Since the stack grows toward low addresses, the stack ends up with exactly right sequence of words to represent a parameter list! So the instruction just copies stack pointer to AP, and calls the function. It also sets a special flag to pop values from stack on return.

This is a very neat approach -- with a bit more than a extra push, VAX got a nice instruction to optimize common case of function calls.

Unfortunately, this approach would not work with modern CPUs. In modern PCs, memory accesses are much slower that register accesses, so first few parameters are passed in registers. Calling function with multiple parameters is very different from calling it with one struct.

There's a chapter in "The Man Who Ate Everything" (which is excellent) about "Kobe", and you could sum it up as: it's a good product that is not simply a "better version" of other steaks, and if not prepared specially (as in, in dishes designed for A5 beef), it's pretty much a waste.
Xiaomi Black Shark Review: Best Gaming Smartphone in Economical Budget
I've been using ADS for a couple months now at work (since we've switched to a new warehouse management system that uses SQL Server for its database) and it's been pretty great as a cross-platform replacement for SSMS. The built-in support for CSV and JSON dumps has been incredibly handy, too. It's both among the few Electron (I think?) apps I like and among the few Microsoft products I like.

Being able to use the same tool for Postgres would be awesome (we use both Postgres and Redshift here, too); I've long felt that SQL Server's a god-awful DB with awesome tooling while PostgreSQL's an awesome DB with god-awful tooling, and now I'm looking forward to finally getting the best of both worlds.

I wonder if it's possible to create extensions for arbitrary ODBC and/or JDBC connections? If so, then that'd be yet another thing I could manipulate with ADS (our ERP exposes its database via a presumably-proprietary DB protocol for which they provide their own ODBC and JDBC connectors). It'd be awesome to have a properly-good one-stop shop for all my SQL-finagling needs.

Now if only I could integrate all this with Emacs somehow...

EDIT: alas, it does not seem to want to install correctly on Slackware, whether via ADS' extensions manager or by manually downloading/installing the VSIX package. Seems to hang on "Starting pgsql service", and any attempt to actually do anything throws a giant "Provider doesn't exist. id: PGSQL" error (and attempting to run queries anyway just throws "Error: No Handler Registered").
We control the whole framework down to the bare metal.
We also have our own built in memory allocators.

There's a bit more to jvm than just training models. Java based application servers are still widely deployed for example.

There's a whole data engineering niche we target here as well (for the spark pipelines) where python isn't a good fit for that team.

Then there's the fact we're still easier to run keras on spark than any other framework thanks to our model import.

That doesn't account for what we're doing with inference. Many vendors in this space are just running kubernetes bundling other tools they don't control. We actually engage various large companies in custom chip development running other DL frameworks due to this low level control.

Depending on what you're looking to do, we're still the standard for pre compiled binaries compiled as jar files:
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/nd4j/nd4j-native/1.0.0-be...

You won't find any other framework running pre cooked avx binaries and IBM power at the same time.

Happy to talk about more depending on what your focus is.
Despite the questionable tactic of forcing oneself uninvited upon the hospitality of a group who hasn’t seen a visitor in 20 years, the writing was absolutely wonderful and it’s the first long-form article I’ve found on HN that I read all the way through in one sitting, which is pretty high praise. I would like to read a book of similar stories at some point.
As mentioned the X series is great.

The X1 Extreme

Pros:

- Up to theoretical 64 GB RAM (2 DDR4 slots)
- 15.6in screen.
- Secondary M.2 PCIe slot
- Optional 4K display.

Con
- Nvidia GPU
- 5-6 Hour Battery life

There is also the X1 which is 14 in laptop, which max memory at 16GB of ram and but has great battery life.
Thanks Nikk!
Yes, in a high-end Japanese restaurant, the "real" wasabi is fresh-grated.
* There are implicit assumptions in scientific studies ... Power calculations refer to the model and not to whether it is the correct model.*

True, but this crucial assumption needs to be kept in mind when using the study to inform yourself of the state of the world. Too often, it's forgotten that there are two questions that need answering for the study to be relevant and, only one of those has a number associated with it.

In that sense, Bayesian statistics, where this is explicit, are less misleading because they actually draw attention to the fact that we don't know that the model is correct.

>I don't see the vast amount of "good things" being censored everywhere as a result of the slippery slope of censorship.

I would like to ask that you take a moment to reflect on this statement ... ... ... Okay now moving on.

Who's to say they need to censor "good things"? They only need to censor things that you don't agree with censoring. I won't pretend to know your political standings but I can guarantee you that your opinion and the governments opinion on what should be censored will eventually reach a disagreement.

People tend to give governments powers during a time of need or when they are frightened often in exchange for "increased safety". A perceived increase of safety that may - or may not - result in more safety but with 100% certainty results in giving up certain rights or freedoms.

For the easiest example of exchanging things for a perceived increase in safety. What do you think of the TSA? Is the intrusiveness and racism in the 'random selections' actually resulting in increased safety and security? Or is it mostly security theater? It tramples over peoples' privacy and sometimes violates their rights for a perceived increase of safety but the failure rate is so high that it is meaningless. The government isn't going to get rid of that power (the TSA) so easily. After all, we gave it to them and they'll gladly keep up the security theater in exchange.

The U.S signed away large portions of our privacy and removed many checks & balances placed on the government after the 9/11 attacks. The USA-PATRIOT Act was forced through in a time of need where people were frightened in exchange for safety and security.

By the time you realize you've given the government too much power it's far too late to take any of it back. History is full of examples and history may not repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.

I've been a VR dev since 2014, and market-share / adoption is a huge problem.

To a first approximation, you can not make enough money to run a studio in VR, even 5 years after DK1.

Ontario, Canada has a great system of grants for game developers, but they have basically stopped funding VR titles, because they don't make any money.

All of the people I know who went off to found VR studios are trying to survive on service work, rather than making custom IP. Either that, or working as loss-leader departments in larger companies.

It's worse than indie development, if such a thing were possible.

So ... yeah ... bring on the users while there are still some VR developers left.
Though Freud is often credited with coming up with the concept of the unconscious, it was actually quite well known before him.
Indeed though he's delivered some stuff. It'll be interesting to see how it goes.
Connectivity (USB, rather than firewire) and more storage were certainly among the facets improved in subsequent versions. USB isn't wireless, but with USB rather than just firewire, the lack of wireless is less of a problem for mass market adoption, isn't it? I never had a nomad, I couldn't tell you how much storage they had, but I do know that my first ipod had a lot more than a measly 5GB; it was a 5th generation with 30GB.

ipod sales were basically fuck-all until Gen 4/5, meaning cmdrtaco was basically right for three or so years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ipod_sales_per_quarter.sv...

I don't think it a coincidence that Gen 4 and 5 were the first to fully support USB (gen 4 also supported firewire, gen 5 did not.)

The iphone took 6 quarters to breach 5 million sales per quarter (remember that as it was originally released, the iphone was an impressive touch screen web browser with subpar data and no appstore!) The ipod took 14 quarters to breach 5 million sales per quarter. After that, both took off. My point here, is the ipod was much slower off the line than the iphone. Simply put, it was lame (until it wasn't.)

The big websites participating in the blackout like Wikipedia or some porn sites do have vast access to eyeballs across europe, and would be affected directly and adversely by the new rules. As the lobbying fight has already been mostly won by the local publisher industry, they use their access to those eyeballs to fuel democratic protests of the rule.

I hope they win and that Article 11 and 13 will be removed.

I think this is an important moment in the birth of EU democracy, because it feels to me that one of the first times, there is a big public discussion about an issue and the people at the center aren't national politicians like Merkel or Macron but EU MEPs, namely Voss vs Reda. The EU has rightfully been criticized of not being democratic enough, and this discussion feels like it's very much democratic.

Is saying it "meshes with specific other results" just a signal of cognitive bias?

I personally would confidently guess there are unconscious faculties in the mind, but I dont see how this experiment is remarkable in proving this, see here(1). Is it not an equally likely conclusion that the brain takes a few hundreds of a second to develop a conscious decision? Actually, the inverse of that is what would be remarkable.

I feel what you're saying. I myself am very disappointed (not to say displeased) with late Apple products and I'm currently in the process of moving away from macOS and iOS. But I'll stick to my AirPods.

They are _the_only_ wireless earbuds on the market that you don't push inside your ear canals, and I absolutely abhor the in-canal ones. They also look nice, work great, I wear them for hours almost every day. Even put them on for quick calls. Probably one of the best technology products I've ever owned.
I think you're right.

How can a 3-4 year old give meaningful consent to having her biometrics irrevocably recorded by one of the world's most aggressive and pernicious surveillance corporations? How fully did your kids understand all the implications of posting photos on social media before you agreed to do it?

> But I guess we can always remove it later

No. You can't. Maybe you can ask FB to stop showing the photo to other people, and maybe they'll comply, but FB will still retain it and any data derived from it (e.g., facial biometric data). Other people could have saved that photo and could re-post it at any time. Or FB could have a bug and that photo could resurface.
