Thanks (to all in this subthread). I've skimmed through this doc, I have watched https://vimeo.com/274274744 linked from original reddit discussion and I have lost all remaining faith in AP as it is today. This should be in a closed alpha version, not anywhere near paying customers and marketed as FSD ready/feature ready as it's none of that and won't be for many years. I expect there will be at least a generation of Tesla cars sold with FSD-readiness package that will never see FSD in their lifetime.
Ah, sorry misinterpreted the question.
I heard that cars are pretty good at distance athletics too, but no-one gives them any credit.
I never understand this. Surely 'make' itself uses an almost irrelevantly low amount of CPU compared to compiling?

That being said: have used Ninja with Cmake. Damn fast.
No... no.. no.. can you imagine how much trickery and hacks can be tossed with this? Finally free. Finally not months spend on a shader for each model. Rendering does not have to be realistic, but even that part is easier with rendering.
It definitely needs to be left out of anything with non-statisticians in the intended audience. I've started leaving it out of most reports. If I write about a difference, it's statistically significant. The test just gives me confidence to write it.
It could just be that they spent an inordinate amount of time and money cleaning up the motion capture data for this demo. It's my understanding that the mo-cap in big-budget films is heavily modified by professional animators. Most hours-long video games probably don't have the budget for that.
To add to this, the main problem with null hypothesis testing IMO is that mathematically you are comparing a infinitesimally small hypothesis: effect exactly equals 0.000000000000... to an infinitely large one: effect is somewhere between 0.00000...00001 and infinity.

A tiny effect is very easy to reject (p<0.0000...000001). I can tell you before running the experiment that any two objects close enough for long enough to be in each other's light cone have at least a tiny effect on each other.

The null hypothesis is hereby rejected for most anything relevant to humans. No need to calculate p-values. Just reference this comment.
My first thought was, well someone is in store for a revamp of their regression test suite.
Out of curiosity, when would you consider chess, or any game of similar complexity for that matter, "solved"?
The counter-counter argument is that not giving someone your money isn't "punishing" them, it's just retaining consent over your finances which everyone should have a right to do, without shame.
That's just about semantics. By that definition you pretty much have to be agnostic about everything where there is no direct proof, including elves, Santa Claus, dinosaurs in Congo, alien abductions and the tooth fairy. I can state the world will disappear in 10 years and nobody should be able to refute my claim but has to stay agnostic until 10 years have passed.

I am sure believing in a god is even less consistent with the scientific method that atheism is.
I strongly suspect the ARM compiler is not optimized for 128b mults and just calls a generic software function to do the computation

The "it's a slippery slope fallacy to assume that censorship of bad things will lead to censoring good things" would be a more compelling argument if we didn't have thousands of years of human history proving that it happens again and again.

"Oh - don't worry, this time in human history it won't be a slippery slope!" is not a very compelling argument when we have historical precedent of the opposite being true time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again.

The modus operandi of totalitarian ideologies is to use science as an excuse to achieve some goal, such as totalitarian control of the economy.

To be clear: the people you see as being on "your team" are totalitarian, and you are cheerleading for them.

If the only way to stop a totalitarian take-over of the economy is to reject a claim, then that is what must be done. How else? How would it be possible to accept that global warming is human caused and also possible for humans to stop, yet ensure that nothing is done about it?

In other words, the requirement is to prevent eco-fascist totalitarian control of the economy. How can that be realistically achieved without rejecting the claim? If accepting the claim leads to eco-fascist totalitarian control of the economy, as it seems to, they the only possible solution is to reject the claim.

I suspect you actually want a totalitarian take-over of the economy, no matter the science. Global warming is a convenient excuse. Your desire for that political change gives you a bias toward believing that global warming is both disastrous and avoidable. It also happens to be a belief expressed in the New Zealand shooter's manifesto; he was an eco-fascist.

Also, LOL, I'm not going to dox myself with a credential war with an x220 on the internet.

Maybe it's merely that I'm used to cones rather than barriers of that sort, but that stretch of road looks rather confusing to me as a human as well.
I'm impressed. All the demos and games so far that demonstrated RTX made it look like a silly gimmick, a band aid to make rasterized gfx look a bit better. Now as far as I remember, tech demos for previous generations of the unreal engine always looked way better than what was to come in the following one or two years, but if those videos show what game studios will be able to deliver in two years, than I'd be tempted to consider this the first really notable jump in gfx card tech in quite some time.

This is real time. It's a bit annoying that the article doesn't lift that point since that is the most impressive point. Then again, I guess unless you don't include interactive aspects there's no telling what is actually real time and what is "baked".
It was flagged because I pointed it was useless.

I can't make a comment asking every single fluff comment to please elaborate a bit more just so people go "oh, huh, yeah this shouldn't be here". And you can't deny that in the last N years, HN has become more and more happy to upvote fluff.
Carmack said they had a lot of internal discussions about that but they decided not to do it for whatever reason.
A city designed around cars is still a miserable place to be, no matter the type of drivetrain. Needing 4000 lbs of steel and batteries to get a bag of groceries is a horribly inefficient way of life.

Cities should be designed so that walking/biking/buses provide 90% of your transit needs with SOVs as the exception, not the rule.
So, trains?
I don't think that's the case. I read the optimization manual as saying that on entry to the pipe, no other multiply can enter it for 3 more cycles. That would be to ensure that there isn't contention on the functional unit's result bus. Therefore, the preceding mul should be able to enter without being delayed by the next umul.

If you look at the whole section, all of the multiplication results that take more than 3 cycles stall the multiplier pipe for N-3 cycles.

Amendment: Clang's decision to schedule the mul right after the umulh would also appear to be terrible. But in fact, I think that if the umulh enters on cycle 0, that the mul enters on cycle 3, the umulh's result appears on cycle 5 and the mul's result appears on cycle 6. So, it has the same total latency through the pipe as mul followed by umulh: 7 cycles.
Like you, I haven't chosen to get them for myself, but I got them for my wife who loves them. Reasons: I have pockets big enough to always be holding my phone, and I can just run a wire up from my pocket under my shirt and into my ears. No snags. She doesn't have such pockets and wouldn't wire herself in any case. She cares about fashion. I'm a programmer. I care about more important stuff like compilers and her. We'll leave it at that.

I have a headphone jack in my phone. She doesn't, so wireless is mandatory for her. It's just a question of lower quality, big, and clunky, or these. Now that I got these for her, the lower-quality option is forever off the table.

She can cruise around the kitchen cooking while "watching" a video that's playing on a laptop on the counter. I did that using my MacBook Pro's built-in speakers, which eventually blew out both speakers. My phone-in-the-pocket, wired solution limits me to audio-only.

So, yes, there are reasons, and whether they matter depends on the person.
It would have been just simpler for the author to show us the difference in the multiplication performance directly. Here the benchmarks are comparing the completely different hash functions and we have to simply take his word that it is this instruction that is causing the performance discrepancy.

Not even if you are using them 24/7, since that would drain your phone battery. That is one downside, though — that your phone battery drains more quickly with wireless headphones. I've noticed this on my 7 Plus for sure.
At highway speeds yes, at city speeds no. At highway speeds most noise is from wind and tires, so electric vehicles don't help too much.

Electric vehicles still don't help cities too much, they still sit unused for 95% of the time time, and occupy a large amount of space compared to bicycles, pedestrians, or public transit.

> As far back as 2016 they were claiming they had full SDC capability above human driver safety

One crash/incident doesn’t mean it’s less safe than a human driver on average, even if it’s something a human driver might have avoided.

We should expect different failure modes from a machine, but adopt it anyway if it avoids enough human failure modes to make up for it.

I would call the first half of the page facts of optics, and the second half of the page facts of aether flow theory. The former are only true if you already accept some theory with sufficient machinery to map the device readout to a number corresponding with the concept 'wavelength'. And the latter are only true if you accept both optics and the aether theory that was popular at the time.

I see that you're trying to get something to stand on, some objective and unchanging reality to hold constant while new theories come and go--and I don't deny you its existence, but I don't see how statements about it can be encoded without making reference the theories in use by the experimenter.

Suppose that later these results need to be translated into the language of a new theory in order for them to be communicated with future generations (who may not know what a wavelength is). Once translated, would they not be new facts, made of new words and new numbers and true in a new theory?

There are alternatives, but they seem awfully problematic to me.
Correct, I should have not said shot and more said had a gun waiving at him.

I would say however, that while shootings are rare in the US, so are events where people run to grab a weapon. We can agree that the prevalence of guns means there is a high chance a gun is the most dangerous weapon available.

I would guess that in events where there is banging on a house guns are "involved" more in the USA than in other countries. It'd be hard to collect that data because a gun in the hand of one person can quickly de-escalate a situation.
The dictionary definition of atheism is a belief that there is no god. This is a long lasting definition.

> The gameplay-experience isn't what is holding VR back. VR was good enough 3 years ago.

This is wrong. All of the other things you mention matter, but at the end of the day I cannot buy a compelling VR experience at any price. VR itself still needs to be improved before all of those other things matter.

VR is incredibly underwhelming at this point, regardless of price. I'd say it's still a few years away from being good enough I'd want to buy it, and I'd expect to have to pay over $1000 for that pleasure when the time comes (ignoring the cost of the top-of-the-line gaming PC to accompany it).

And that's only talking about the actual technology in the headset, that's not even discussing the lack of good content.

And many (maybe most) people still get sick when using VR for more than an hour, so the argument it's "good enough" is absurd.
Evenly distributed not in the sense that everyone has an equal amount, but that every way you can cut up demographics (age, race, sex, nationality) will have the same bell curve of talent. But that is not necessarily so with opportunity.

That's a fair point, but where do we cross the line from "science" to metaphysics and epistemology? I admit, I do come at science from a somewhat materialistic viewpoint, and Popperian viewpoint... but that's mainly because I don't see any other approach being as valid as a way to establish knowledge about our world.

That said, I'm open to being convinced of something else...
I find it amusing (and sad) that the title is equally believable if you think that "President" was referring to Trump.

Ask HN: How to structure joining a new VC firm
Being courted by a micro-VC fund/incubator and would love guidance on how to secure proper compensation. This firm has yet to launch, and is interested in me joining as "Chief Brand Officer" as a value-add to portfolio companies in the way of branding, design and marketing. The founders are entrepreneurs themselves. We are talking salary + profit share. Basic. But is there something more specific I should be pushing for? Yesterday at a conference I overheard a guy mandating he take a piece as GP for his situation. I just don't have enough experience around VC or investment structures to know what I'm potentially leaving on the table. Thank you!
U.S. Airlines’ Decisions to Keep Flying the 737 Max
I don't see why scale should affect whether targeting makes sense (with the exception of entities like facebook that have collected so much data on their own that they can target better than smaller competitors, which leads targeting increasing with scale, not decreasing). Television isn't targeted because it wasn't designed to be, and hasn't been updated (yet) -- they would need to deliver different ads to different homes. This is already done for different localities, but not individual homes (that I'm aware of). It's not a scale issue. Targeted billboards are coming[0], albeit not based on individual browsing habits (yet). I don't think this is about scale (mostly), I think it's about the technical feasibility of tracking and targeting customers on a given platform in $CURRENT_YEAR.

>random targeted ads

I'm genuinely confused by what this is supposed to mean. To me, random is antithetical to targeted. In my reading I decided to drop the random, but I should note that I may be parsing your intent incorrectly as a result of that.

Novice here ... but how do these results give random results? Are the uninitialized memory considered random? Or is there some other source of randomness. It seems like a deterministic function to me if the variables are initialized to zero.
Why?...
>Either things get worse for everyone, or humanity starts to control itself.

Controlling itself doesn't have to mean population control. It just has to mean taking care of our environment in a sustainable way. The number of people we have been able to support in a sustainable way has increased by several orders of magnitude over the past tens of thousands of years and I don't see a compelling reason that trend needs to stop. Climate change isn't tied to population, it's tied to greenhouse gas emissions. We already have the technology demonstrating that we don't need to emit greenhouse gasses.
Yes, it is real time. Original post will be updated to include that information.
"Unwilling? Don't buy a Tesla."

That doesn't protect me from being killed by a Tesla. I am pretty neutral on the topic but I am getting the feeling that they are in danger of pushing out half baked stuff like we tend to do in software. For most things like software this is OK but maybe not for things that are moving at high speeds.
I feel Jared Diamond illustrated this beautifully in his prologue to Guns, Germs, and Steel:

From the very beginning of my work with New Guineans, they impressed me as being on the average more intelligent, more alert, more expressive, and more interested in things and people around them than the average European or American is. At some tasks that one might reasonably suppose to reflect aspects of brain function, such as the ability to form a mental map of unfamiliar surroundings, they appear considerably more adept than Westerners. Of course, New Guineans tend to perform poorly at tasks that Westerners have been trained to perform since childhood and that New Guineans have not. Hence when unschooled New Guineans from remote villages visit towns, they look stupid to Westerners. Conversely, I am constantly aware of how stupid I look to New Guineans when I'm with them in the jungle, displaying my incompetence at simple tasks (such as following a jungle trail or erecting a shelter) at which New Guineans have been trained since childhood and I have not.

The whole prologue is worth reading when contemplating the fraught question of nature and nurture and the importance of IQ.

Zoning regulations are a tool of civic planning. The fact that racist civic planners use them to enact racist zoning regulations does not mean that zoning regulations in and of themselves are racist or always end up being racist.

Show HN: Tornado – Web-First BitTorrent Client Beta 0.1.0
> gamers typically care more about higher-FPS / higher-resolutions rather than more realistic shadows and reflections.

It's a balance though, right?

Programmable shading took off because lots of people wanted the better shading that it enabled (at the cost of lower framerates/resolution). So it seems plausible that people might again choose quality improvements through raytracing over framerates/resolution (especially as 4k 120fps becomes more achievable).
So, a few questions:

1. Would you say you, personally, were "homeless" at the time that you lived there?

2. Would you say the photo the listing was representative? Or would you say it actually looked more like a filthy dive, a la the photos in the Wikipedia article on flophouses?

3. Would you say the majority of other tenants were transients?

Anything else you can tell us here on HN to support your assertion that the listing in question fits the definition of "flophouse"?

Thanks.
A fine is supposed to be a price. If the only purpose was deterrence then why isn't every offense a capital one and every fine in the amount of "everything you've got"?

Taxes are something else entirely. Income taxes aren't intended to put a price on working so that people won't do it unless it's worth the cost, they're intended to raise government revenue.
A fully path traced engine basically is its own killer app as far as the game design process goes.
It might be their obligation from a moral standpoint, but it certainly isn’t from a legal point — at least, it isn’t right now. I think that’s where it becomes a governmental problem to fix, because these companies have indicated they are not willing to do so.

I'm in no way attributing his achievements solely to luck. You say there were those who "were trying and failed" and those "gave up or never started." He had to have the skills and perseverance to not be in the last group, and the skills to make the choices that didn't lead to early failures. But there is a point at which the compounding effects of luck separates the successful from the ridiculously successful.

If you re-rolled all the dice that defined the random chances and situational conditions in his life, I'd expect someone like Gates to come out reasonably successful in many cases. But he had to get one very specific set of roles to be where he is now, you'd have to re-roll forever for that set to come up again. And It's not unreasonable to think that there are a fair number of people out there who could achieve the same ridiculous level of success if you re-rolled their dice enough times.
Why XAP CREDIT SOLUTION remains the best for credit repair
I really do not know how to start this review, Truth is I’m not the type to write much online, but I really have to do this for someone who helped me out of my distress, I was in dire need of a house but I couldn’t get one because of the evictions on my record and my low fico score, I got recommended to XAP CREDIT SOLUTION on trulia after seeing various reviews about them. In 8 business days they helped fix all my credit issues, by removing the evictions and increasing my score to 760, I hereby acknowledge their efforts and urge you to contact them on (+1 972 597 9704) or their email XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM. for any issues relating to credit. Thank you
