Onion Curve: A Space Filling Curve with Near-Optimal Clustering (2018)
The US is in no position to mess with TSMC. None.

I strongly agree.

To elaborate, for all the naysayers:

In the early days everyone built their own fabs. Jerry Sanders famously quipped "real men have fabs". But no more. Jerry's company, AMD, doesn't have fabs. Neither do most companies.

TSMC is vitally important to the USA and to the rest of the free world. The fact that Taiwan is so close to mainland China is of enormous strategic significance.

TSMC is the largest silicon "arms dealer" to the entire world.
> To my knowledge, those $40 silent air coolers perform well but still can't match a big liquid radiator.

The best air coolers can match AIOs. Specifically Noctua's air coolers can go toe to toe with most commercial AIOs, with one fewer point of failure (pump). At least according to Gamer's Nexus and similar sites.

The biggest arguments for AIOs is:

- Appearance/aesthetics

- Space around the CPU block (air coolers in this league are HUGE)

- Improved small form factor build flexibility

In terms of raw performance, only custom loops really challenge high end air cooling.

With air cooling you typically save some money (even a high end Noctua is often 40% or more cheaper than a branded AIO). No leak issues. Fewer points of failure.

After reading your replies and comments I get it. But I was posting to an HN thread where the subject line was "You don’t want a child prodigy" and your post was also an original post (i.e. not a reply to another comment). So like I mentioned previously I absolutely did not intend for my comment to be taken that way. I also dont see a lot of troll comments on HN but it is the internet and the bar is set at Twitter comments, Youtube comments, Reddit comments and then HN comments so I get it, but I didn't mean it that way, and also don't need a Pro-tip because its just a internet discussion/comment that you started. I apologize for rubbing you the wrong way and we can leave it at a gross miscommunication.

How to Become Bank PO?
Bad ram that doesn't perform to spec is the cause most of the time.

Ryzen runs them tight to spec, whereas intel is more relaxed. Here tight is better, but it also means exposing lies in manufacturer specs on ram.

Cheapening on ram is never a good idea, but there's always the option of configuring more relaxed timings on the firmware settings, if the ram isn't up to its advertised spec.

It's also possible your CPU is one of the first iteration of 1800x which had this issue that famously caused segfaults when compiling software on Linux. This was only seen on the first months of 1800x, and AMD offered free replacements to those affected. It's likely a bit late for that, but you're better off upgrading to Ryzen 3xxx anyway.
What would you reply today?
Just curious, do you guys have any power users? Like large companies? Also, what does the distant future look like for hledger?
> increase your monthly caps so that you will be able to pay less monthly

You're not going to pay less monthly because you're going to want to stay on the higher caps when the experience is better. YouTube will no longer be capped to 480p so you will use more video streaming bandwidth, etc.

The wireless companies are also looking to eat the wireline companies' lunch. They want you to cancel Comcast for 5G. For that they'll have to have higher caps.
Perhaps in some cases.

In some of these cases, your theory requires multiple systems (multiple human eyes, IR cameras, radar) to experience corresponding simultaneous glitches - sometimes aboard multiple craft, some of which are surface ships!

One of the incidents was picked up on radar both by the missile cruiser USS Princeton and (faintly) by an EC-2 Hawkeye radar plane. Those radar planes don't pull high G's, and last I checked the USS Princeton sure the heck doesn't.

Conjecture on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if we also see a 64 core Threadripper - there's going to be a 64 core Epyc:

Although they may save it for a "Zen2+" or something similar, like they did with 32 core Threadripper

Ah cool! Hopefully the BMI2 instructions are upgraded too.
>Winning the "race to 5G" means the US will be the first to innovate in systems that take advantage of faster wireless broadband networks. That's important. IMO.

I'm not really sure if being the first is important or even beneficial. If that were true the United Kingdom would still be the world's superpower and myspace would still reign supreme. Being first is mostly an unthankful job because you're the one who does the most work while everyone else can copy.
Spotify is worth it alone for the discovery to me now, and I grew up with my weirdo foobar music player and etc.

I don't know what your impression of Spotify is, but it seems quite different than mine. When I think Spotify, I think Discover Weekly, awesome machine learning that finds artists similar to whatever I was listening to every time I listen to an album / artist all the way through, often finding me new favorites, well made apps that integrate nicely between my iPhone / Mac desktop app - I can easily resume something on a different player. This seems like it's getting smarter. I don't really use it the way I used to use Foobar / Winamp / iTunes - but I probably abuse it. I create playlists for whatever I'm listening to lately, and just access those. I don't want to scroll 2000 artists in my library.

Downsides I've experienced - not many:
- quality not quite as good as Apple Music or Tidal ( and definitely not as good as FLAC, lol ). This isn't really a problem for me unless I A/B something.
Sometimes the library is missing something. These songs are probably not available from competitors either.
- Lyrics view? WTH guys seriously, this was good at first and now it only occasionally shows "Behind the music with Genius'... assuming this is licensing problems but if you can work out streaming rights, can't you work out lyric sheet rights?
- That might actually be all of them.

Buying vinyl is cool but I'll never listen to it. Inconvenient. It's a cool souvenir.

I used to have a big FLAC library. Somewhere along the road, it was lost, along with many other digital heirlooms.
I’m skeptical that has any material impact on the elections. Why do I think so? Because you can ask someone who holds different opinion than you about those subjects and you’ll know exactly why they vote the way to they do.

You may not agree with it, but I really don’t think you’ll cling to the idea that they’ve been hypnotized by internet trolls.
No, the stability issues they're talking about are on a release day 1800X. It's not memory issues, and I've never had memory issues with either of my Ryzen processors.

This is the issue they're certainly talking about: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ryzen-Se...

And it is assuredly not a problem with any Ryzen processors manufactured after the very first few months.
Don't even need Incredibuild, even MSBuild or just plain /MP option in VC++ can take advantage of it. A build from VS of the Unreal Engine 4 client takes around 2 min, for example.
I believe the standard strategy here is to say you've been in an accident, you're in the hospital while traveling, your jaw was broken, and that's why you sound different. Or you're having the nurse call them. Something to explain why your voice isn't what they expect.
It appears to have an observer quality to it. The one that sticks out the most in my recent memory is the 2006 Chicago O'Hare sighting. I remember this going through a pretty quick 1 or 2 day news cycle. Fairly alarming given the number of people witnessing the phenomenon and the backgrounds of the people observing it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_O%27Hare_International_Ai...

Obviously rainbows are an example of a shared hallucination and the phenomena manifests differently dependent on the observer's viewing angle. At the moment I'm not convinced these aren't unexplained atmospheric phenomena because I've never seen one. I know some ideas put forth include ball lightning for at least some UFOs. Assuming these cases to involve intelligence may just be our misinterpretation of the phenomena.
> C++ atomics are no good here, because they are not guaranteed to be lock free or address free.

That's not right; you can still use std::memory_order to get the memory barriers generated that are required. These are going to obviously be lock free, they deal with memory ordering—what you tried to deal with volatile, but in general case.

See: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/atomic/atomic/store

Effectively std::atomic stores and loads generate volatile accesses plus the required memory barriers to get the desired behavior.
They already launched a new generation of that recently, based on Zen+ with Vega. The previous one was pre-zen+.

Their gpu+cpu chips are always based on the more mature tech.
> Those who don’t have paid subscriptions probably aren’t that interested in music in the first place

.. or find that the endless-firehose model doesn't suit them? I honestly just prefer to buy one album (either CD or digital download) or so per month. The affordances of that encourage me to choose carefully and listen with attention rather than vaguely skim. I'd rather get to know a few things well than lots superficially. It's a bit like web-skimming vs reading books. Of course you can read long form on the web, just as you can get to know bodies of music well on Spotify et al, but it's going against the grain.

[Edit: in fact on reflection, my view is almost the opposite to yours: streaming subscriptions suit a listening habit not that interested in music per se, that desires ongoing background novelty]
In response to what you said about Navi, I'm also excited about that. I'd really love to see some really strong competition to Nvidia's offerings that might be able to give them a good fight.

Their dominance and tendency to push for proprietary features seems quite bad for the industry as a whole.
I do a bunch of live video stuff (which, for the uninitiated, means "hi, I'm ffmpeg, I want all your processors") and I learned, the hard way, that I couldn't put a 16C/32T Threadripper in the box--it's a 4U case in a Gator transport case--because 180W would blow out my heat budget. 12C/24T at 105W should be doable. I'm excited; right now I'm constrained because stuff like my CG system is built on Chromium and so it gets a little chewy when I run multiple independent overlays. Doubling my cores--I have a Ryzen 1600 in there right now--and probably increasing single-thread performance by 40% should make my life pretty interesting.
Did higher data plan costs happen in the transitions from 2G to 3G and 3G to 4G?
> I can only imagine the yields on 8x4 core modules will be far higher than on a monolithic 32 core chip.

The next EPYC's going to be up to 8 chiplets x 8 cores, competing against Intel's current 28-core monolithic die (or their dual-die non-socketed 56-core). How many cores remain enabled on a hypothetical next-generation Threadripper is an open question, but they would probably go beyond 32 cores total. And a 32-core Threadripper would probably not have 8 chiplets but rather four fully-enabled active chiplets and four mechanical spacers.
The entire section on declarations can also be fixed by always binding type modifiers and quantifiers to the left. Rewriting the examples:

int* p; // pointer to int
int volatile* p_to_vol; // pointer to volatile int
int* volatile vol_p; // volatile pointer to int
int volatile* volatile vol_p_to_vol; // volatile pointer to volatile int

This method always starts with the most basic type, then adds modifiers sequentially. The modifier binds to everything left of it.
Fascinating. Where did you find this?

So I must be imagining my problems with Threadripper memory kits as of early this year as well as my coworkers problems with his 1800X. Hmm, OK then. HN knows best.
Yup. Just waiting on the benchmarks from independent reviewers and to see how XFR in this generation works but I’ll be getting a Ryzen 9 if everything checks out. 24 threads will be amazing for local development (microk8s, and others) when I’m not gaming and save me from having to build a separate box.
Noscript is an interesting choice for "non-technical" parents, my understanding was that Noscript was for -advanced- users.
A couple of additional points:

* Registration is also needed to get the longest available copyright term.
* There's no need for the registration to happen anytime near when the work is created or published. If I needed to sue someone for copyright infringement for a piece of software I wrote and published in 1998 and stopped maintaining in 1999, I could file the registration on Tuesday and the lawsuit on Wednesday.
That only half-helps though doesn’t it? It saves you from rewrite-order dependence, but doesn’t the requirement that one has to follow ten rewrite (patches?) to figure out what was actually expressed by a query in the codebase. Which takes it down from hell-mode to hard-mode difficulty
I think people are realizing that data scientist without domain knowledge cannot create valuable insights.

I had troubles with my memory (4*16GB with a 2950X) until I realized it was configured in 1T command rate by default. Things appear to be rock stable in 2T. Anyway, yeah, memory is more tricky than it should on Ryzen.

Where I see IoT going is the same place as apps already have. Sending off random telemetry data.

You may or may not want a fridge that tells you what to order. But advertisers want a fridge that spies on you so they can tell you what to order. Or the power company wants you to have a fridge that uses power when they tell it to.

What is coming is "You Are The Product, Act 2".

ps. If you upset the fridge company they will terminate your account and your fridge will fail-open-and-warm.
This pretty much sums up my experience with Software Dev at one of the Big 4.
I think you're assuming that IoT = consumer home devices, which is a small subset of the market. Most home devices are mostly useless, but outside the home they're a big deal. The kind of IoT I've worked with has been for industrial/manufacturing and WAN-based data gathering - things like distributed sensors across a manufacturing floor, wetlands monitors across a few dozen square miles of watershed, road and vehicle low-bandwidth communications, etc. Practical applications for those kind of IoT devices vastly outnumber practical applications in the home.

Since they're beating Intel, lower clock only means faster/clock, which is better.

And there's of course potential for higher clocks as yields improve with 7nm process maturity.

In fact, they might be even possible today, but AMD chose to release a relatively affordable lineup, which is the opposite of Intel's expensive chips with "golden die" binning.

This shows AMD is relaxed, in contrast to Intel's desperation.
There were a few people that did this with Facebook years ago in Germany (GDPR is merely the EU-level legislature, some parts of it have existed in member state law for a while).

I don't know how you could read it and walk away with that impression. It's very clear that they are saying social cohesion allows the organization of millions of people into productive societies as we know them. There are things to disagree with, but that sticking point doesn't make sense.
Yes in the sense that data shouldn't be destroyed, but you still need to be able to correct mistakes - those corrections just need to leave an audit trail.
Everyone else also gets the benefit of watching, seeing what went wrong and doing it better.

I'll try. 2G/edge was a solid platform due to low modem cost and cheap data available on multiple carriers, but the spec is mostly phased out at this point. 3G and 4G modems have both been expensive in hardware cost, expensive in bandwidth cost, and massive power hogs if your device needs to run on batteries. It usually ends up being a better bet to try to get LoRa or XBee working for device-to-device (despite their limitations) and having only a single "expensive" box for cellular internet connection, but this gets tricky if you need communications across fairly large geographies (ex. distributed outdoor sensors).
