It's not clear to me from TFA:

Do any existing AM4 mobos / chipsets have support for full PCIe 4.0 bandwith (64Gbps)?

Or will the existing mobos be limited to PCIe 3.0 (~5-6Gbps)?

All of the five processors will
be PCIe 4.0 enabled, and while
they are being accompanied by
the new X570 chipset launch,
they still use the same AM4
socket, meaning some AMD 300
and 400- series motherboards can
still be used.

I was just reading about PCIe 4.0 and 5.0 yesterday [0], and some quick research indicates only a week ago it was announced some current AMD boards do support PCIe 4.0 [1].

Would be awesome because the rate when transferring terabytes across SSD RAID arrays will see a 3-10x increase from ~500-600MBps to ~1.5-6GBps+. Fantastic!

Worse, the moment anything of interest gets being discussed, SM stops it, saying "let's take this offline" (in German-speaking projects at least, where there's a tendency to use English words to really say nothing at all). Which brings us to

> any deviation from scrum itself poses a threat to this person's job security, so it doesn't happen

MBAs have identified and captured the role of a Scum master (sic!) to comfortably represent a project towards management, without the responsibilties of a project manager (I'm just moderating the project), yet with an instrument to turn time-based freelancing and employed work into a fixed-price deal through commitments/forecasts.
I mean no disrespect in saying this, but i genuinely think Americans don't like to leave their comfort zone too often and it results in a lot of subjective bias.

I read something like 40% of Americans have never left their country, and about 10% have never left their own state. That means a great deal of them have never experienced a temperature outside of their own.

I think a lot of people here are missing the most important point, which is that Fahrenheit roughly maps 0-100 to the most common temperature ranges experienced in daily weather, which is by far the most frequent use of temperature for most people.
They are limited to 4 cores. In the new lineup too, when G series comes out later, they'll be limited to 8 cores (one cliplet for CPU and one for GPU).
that article is pushing the idea that Social networks should be better at policing speech on their platform.

The last thing I want is for a small clique of silicon valley tech execs to decide what I should or should not see on my feed.

I see two solutions on this:

- Censorship is coming from an elected government body

- No censorship and we let people decide what is news and what is fake news.

But having Zuck and his team manipulate newsfeed to push a political or social agenda is a terrible idea. This article is a shame.
Yes, I agree as well from firsthand experience although I would love to see a counter example.
While I do see that this might be valuable, I find the argument strange and it makes me wonder in which area you work that this is so alien to you.

I've generally come to expect that any software I download and try to build might, through a package manager, pull in additional dependencies (rust, Haskell, scala/Java/closure,...). The only real outliers here seem to be C and C++, of the ones I've worked with.

Ask HN: How can I work towards building a company while employed?
I will start a job as a software dev and with the job offer comes a bunch of contract clauses that basically lets the company own all IP while employed. I am from a third world country, so I won't be able alter the contract clauses. With these restrictions in place, what can I do while employed to have a better chance of succeeding when I do start a company?

My plan :

- continue learning while on the job

- prepare for interviews so that I can apply to companies that are friendly to side projects (stripe, gitlab, github and a bunch of other such companies. Please mention companies that are ok with remote workers and are side project friendly, even startups paying $30,000 work for me)

- build side projects in my free time that demonstrate my skills

- maybe participate in Pioneer.app tournaments so I can network

- basically work on stuff that won't become a company

- once I get a job at a more side project friendly company, I'll start working on my ideas.

As you can see, it's quite a shitty situation to not be able to pursue my side projects that could become companies, but it is what it is and I want to make the most of the next year or so. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
Computing technology is more egalitarian today than it ever was. Unless you're gaming, doing software development or serious science-related work, you can get away with something baseline and dirt-cheap, and it will work just fine. Maybe slightly less so in mobile but still, usable compute really isn't that niche even in that space.

Unfortunately there were no desktop G parts (APUs) on the Zen+ architecture (as far as I know.) And they're not in the first round of Zen 2 either.

If your model is simple enough to represent the original system accurately, then the original system is not complex.

My model can be complex enough to represent the original system and still be useful. I can iterate on design and make measurements without building the real thing.

It's not different from what pip install or gem install do by default.

A mature Haskell project such as hledger has probably a few hundred of transitive dependencies, so you won't be able to install them individually by hand. You might try to figure whether each of them is packaged by your distribution (unlikely, unless hledger itself is packaged), but that's not a typical path — just don't use make in that case.
Whenever I'm having a remote day yes. Some projects can take literally hours to fully recompile. The more cores, the better.

It was compared to the linked article.

Besides, for time zones, you can't do otherwise: it's not in the stdlib. So compared to pytz, it's easy.

Unrelated, but I highly recommand pex for script with dependancies. It will turn it to a one file bunddle of all required modules, and all you need on the server is the same oython version.

It should be in the stdlib really.

To provide a counterexample to your statement "nobody actually uses decimals with celsius", when I switch the climate control system in my German-made car to Celsius mode it does use decimals: either .0 or .5, and the toggle moves the temperature up or down by half a degree.

Whereas in Fahrenheit mode the toggle moves the temperature up or down by a single degree, which seems cleaner and simpler to me (not to mention the F display uses 2 digits, while the C display uses 3).
My point was about in the chemistry lab, not outside.
Assuming you are talking about lock-step updates of firmware and app, how would an app work with firmware lagging hardware, or updated firmware but old app?

People have multiple devices (eg tablet and phone) which means they'd easily get into such a state.

I imagine they have to keep the most of backwards compatibility for their internal purposes as well (or at least their developers' sanity :)).

I am pretty sure having open APIs (that evolve) would still be more appreciated than not.
350 to 375 is pretty significant of a gap over several hours.
It sort of seems like philosophers tend to fetishize either reason or emotion or both, and maybe underestimate some more basic aspects related to attention and caring. I think Heidegger had some critiques like this. When I go about my normal life I am typically not driven by tendencies that are clearly rational or emotional but more kind of a mundane absorption with motivational roots in past decisions and events. I am also absorbed in various structures that shape the "grammar" of my behavior, exemplified by language and society. My capacity for "reason" goes up and down depending on my mental health, my attention span, my general clarity of presence; the same is true for "emotion." And philosophical reason is quite different from everyday planning and executive function. You could argue that dopaminergic activity in the prefrontal cortex is a "passion" while it is also the substrate of the ability to be reasonable. I don't have a clear point here but something seems sort of silly and old-fashioned about this debate.
How about SHITEMID in the shlwapi DLL? That's supposed to be SH-ITEM-ID.

Truth matters. News distributers are expected to fact check and should be held accountable when spreading falsehoods.

I think they are evolving to more specific roles. A couple of years ago some "Data Scientists" were actually doing Data Engineering. Now that distinction is more clear. You also have Machine Learning Engineers, who can help with deploying models or you can even see things like "Deep neural network engineer" or NLP data scientists.

I didn't say anything about paying less or wireless companies not wanting to recoup their cost. So you're not refuting anything I said.

But now that you brought up the topic of price, the most likely scenario is that we'll end up paying about the same with more bandwidth / less latency, and we'll collectively use more bandwidth wirelessly. That's how 2G->3G->4G all worked out, and that's how it worked out for broadband home internet as well (DSL to Cable to Fiber or others). The cost has remained largely similar. You seem to think the price has somehow always gone up after each generation. The data doesn't support that view:

http://www.in2013dollars.com/Wireless-telephone-services/pri...
http://www.in2013dollars.com/Internet-services-and-electroni...

Of course at each generational switch, there might be slight premium for the new one temporarily, especially during the early phase of the rollout (what else is new?) but in the end they all came down, as the majority of the infrastructure switches over. Contrary to what you seem to think, companies can't charge arbitrary price - the demand drops if you increase the price too much, and the existing infrastructure (of potentially other companies) put a ceiling on how much you can charge even with the new infrastructure. Sure, while the new infrastructure provides better functionality, they will be able to charge more compared to the existing. That will determine how fast the companies can rollout the new infrastructure, not the other way around like you imply.
Actually large companies are mostly manual compared to most small/medium size companies. Just too many processes to just generate correct journal entries in SAP from purchase, sales, operations, production and distribution. Moreover adjustments, inventory counting methods, purchase, sales require creative use of manual processes, excel and laborious job of account reconciliation at closing (which indeed is just a snapshot report at point in time). I have yet to see a multi-national SAP installation which automatically ingest banks, financial institutes reports and generate account reconciliation entries, government reports automatically.

I feel combined with machine learning and storing hledger records in some large databse, it can become a powerful automated accounting system which SAP and large vendors can just dream of.

> The truth is, outside of a chemistry lab I don't care that much about the freezing and boiling points of water

What? Freezing point of water is one of the most important things with temperature outside. Will it snow or rain? Will the lake freeze or melt? Will the road be slippery or not. That is like... the most important thing about temperature and outside.

However, I agree that the boiling temperature of water is not much used outside in a daily life.

Yes, C is useful in science because it's commonly used, not really because of any inherent usefulness. The network effect is the usefulness, and if F had that network effect it would be just as useful.

Why would that be an advantage? I consider about 20–25°C ideal. Why is it worse than some other range?

As a user of the celsius scale, each 10 degree "band" already has a feeling to me.

A quick glance at the numbers on Wikipedia puts it a bit under 5%, the bulk of which is inhabitants of the US, but I did leave out the Bahamas for convenience.
For everyday use the unit does not matter at all. We could drop numbers completely and just say it's freezing, cold, chilly, ok, warm and hot and be done with it. For cooking we could just use simmer, boil, stew and bake.

But Celsius interacts with other units nicely. So when you actually need some precision, Celsius works nicely. Kelvin is of course the one to choose when talking about scientific matters, but Celsius works well enough for everyday things and when precision is needed.
Canadian here, 325-450F is the typical range I've needed to use, pizzas are often what I cook at those hotter temps. That's about 160-230C.

There's a surprising inconsistency in Canada for units because of our proximity to the US. For body weight and height, nearly everyone uses lbs and feet/inches, but official records (on my driver's license for example) uses kg and cm. Like you said, most appliances are F. Distances are in km but property sizes are still often in sqft (because lots of products come from the US). The list goes on.

I studied semantic web for a semester during college and I found it was too complicated and confusing. I remember stuff like RDF, Owl, ontologies, sparql, triple stores and others. But I never truly understood how was all connected. Besides, from what I remember, these tools were never production-ready since they came from academia. Although graph databases are gaining a lot of traction these days so there still might be some space for semantic meaning in some projects.
Ask for small talk advice, people like being asked for advice and you can't fake being good at conversation(Regardless of whether or not you enjoy it)

It's because there is marketing and PR behind this 2004 incident.

The trick is to find any issue that interests the both of you. Finding these on the fly is a little bit like surfing a wave – this also means you will have to be listening to what they are saying to find cues that can move the conversation forward.

Starting is usually the hardest thing. Your goal here is to find out whether they want to talk with you, do initiate this by starting off with something easy that affects you both: the weather, the daily commute, morning rituals. The point here is not to convince the other side of your point of view, but to figure out if they wanna talk and to look for cues that you could use to move the conversation forward.

Most importantly the whole thing should be really low pressure: if somebody doesn’t wants to talk or the communication ends unexpectedly early, who cares? There can be a thousand reasons that have nothing to do with you, I had 20min talks with collegues on one day, while on another day the very same people would avoid finding answers and go their way. You also don’t have to be able to talk with everyone. Some people don’t enjoy talking, others only enjoy it when it is negative talk about others etc. Make sure not to talk shit about other people just to stay in a conversation, it pays off in the long run.
While I can't comment on the company related stuff, I'm also from a 3rd world country and you can absolutely alter contract clauses. A contract outlines a working relationship between an employer & an employee, it is not a slave trade agreement.
If you grant that motivation for actions have two components, causal and stochastic, and ignore the stochastic element as just error, I could see labeling all causal impetuses as "desires" at some level. Anything you do, you do because the conscious you--or some lower level process that is a part of you--"wanted" it that way, give or take some random noise.
I would personally expect how NLP can help detect cancer as being more rewarding - and cynically speaking that Obama quote in the presentation about America being the country to cure cancer, hell America it seems can't even cure measels. Maybe I'm just having a bad day though.
But "the algorithm" is impartial. Editorialized content implies there's a message being driven.
The problem is most people don't cover all the food groups in their diets (just an assumption). So in that case should they take vitamins?
Don't overindex on your contract wording: just because it says that doesn't mean your company will in practice a) realize that you worked on something else while employed there, b) care enough that they'll take the time to sue you, and c) win that case if they do.

Realistically speaking, unless your side gig is a direct competitor or becomes a massive success, you're probably fine. And you can reduce risk further by not launching your company while still employed, which makes it that much harder for them to notice and/or prove you worked there at the same time.
I can definitely feel the difference between when I set my car to 72F vs 73F (or any pairing of consecutive degrees F)

The temperature scale is a) rather arbitrary b) rarely converted in everyday life.

So it's the least bad american unit. If I was suddenly forced to switch from C to F I'd just adjust. It's not that bad.

The others such as distances and volumes are insane and of course not because of the units but because of being non-decimal. Example: figuring out the volume of a swimming pool given its dimensions. Which length unit would you measure the pool in, in order to have a calculation for the volume (in gallons) that doesn't require a calculator? (A: a unit that is 6.14 inches long)
The most important is to use your free time efficiently without burning out.
But I still find the 100 a useful demarcation - especially when cooking. I find it handy to know how far away my soup or tea water is away from boiling without doing complicated maths in my head.

The equivalence to the percent scale also makes it easier to conceive - i.e. if I see my kettle on the hotplate registering 75 degrees C, I immediately think "Oh, it is three quarters of the way to boiling".
> The "intuitive" argument comes up a lot in relation to units of measure, and it just makes me wonder how people can have such lack of self awareness.

As someone who has grown up with a mix of various Imperial (not US) measures and metric ones, I often find some more intuitive than others even when I am familiar with both.

The most obvious his human height. A tall man is about 6' or more. Most people are some number of inches less than that. Moreover, the inch and not the centimetre is roughly the amount at which you would casually notice two people were slightly different in height.

On the other hand, for horizontal distance, metres (or yards) make more sense than feet. To the extent that when American tell me how far away something is in feet, I just multiply by three before trying to use the info.

I think weight in stones is similarly better than either kilos or or pounds, but I am personally more familiar with kilos.

Nice. I guess it's time to upgrade from my old 1700X.
16C is probably coming later once Intel responds.
But surely Americans use temperature for cooking too and not just for weather, and then 100°C is boiling which is also at least somewhat useful to know.
