If you had a systolic array that was generic and routless, you could very easily compile (at run time) the filter coefficients directly into the logic, updating as you go.

I'd feed inputs from the left, passing them through towards the right, then reflect them back in a manner that would keep timing right. Sums would accumulate and appear as outputs on the left.

If you clocked the whole array with a 2 phase clock, you'd get an answer out every cycle, once all the pipelines were filled.

> I don't get why you'd state things that aren't there yet

I interpreted it as "things I want to eventually add", and I already conceded that the author has some false claims (as the blog post points out as well).

Think of it as a roadmap / mission statement. It gives you a good idea if you want to use it when it is eventually ready. A small bit of marketing.

> I'm not sure what the "harmless" comments are about - the article doesn't mention anything about that (or the income) at all?

Zig's author has said they have been discouraged to work on their tech since they allegedly work harder and deliver more yet get less donations: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20230384 (which is a child of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20230351).

Several other people in this thread (and I think others if memory serves) have expressed displeasure that V's author collects donations.

That is toxic. People get donations for all sorts of stuff. Let them, and don't be bitter about it. The way the HN crowd seemed to latch onto V's author specifically was very peculiar for me to observe in the last several months.

The FAA situation is a difficult one to resolve - having full understanding of these systems requires a great deal of expertise, and that kind of expertise is found most easily at, obviously, the companies under regulation. More funding / regulators would certainly help, but I'm not sure if that would be sufficient.

> but the FAA let them get away with it

Well, the FAA thought the MCAS had a command limit of 0.6 degrees when it actually became 2.5 degrees after the changes mentioned in this article. From the other Seattle Times article about this:

> If the final safety analysis document was updated in parts, it certainly still contained the 0.6 limit in some places and the update was not widely communicated within the FAA technical evaluation team.

> “None of the engineers were aware of a higher limit,” said a second current FAA engineer.

To me it's less of a they "let them get away with it" and more of a "they had limited resources and things slipped through". Unfortunately this difference doesn't really matter when 300+ people are dead

Why do you feel that it strengthens your argument to say "calling him a journalist is a farce"? Clearly, lots of people consider him a journalist. He's even won several prizes for being a journalist. Here's one from 2011:

"Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, has won the 2011 Martha Gellhorn prize for journalism.

The annual prize is awarded to a journalist "whose work has penetrated the established version of events and told an unpalatable truth that exposes establishment propaganda, or 'official drivel', as Martha Gellhorn called it".

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/jun/02/julian-assange...

In the absence of a clear legal definition of "journalist" in the US, it seems entirely reasonable to call someone who wins prizes for journalism a journalist. Why do you disagree, and why should your opinion be weighted more strongly than those who disagree with you?

I agree, however, that calling him a "journalist" is a tactic. The goal is imply that because he's a journalist, he should not be prosecuted for breaking the law. It's a strange tactic, though, since as far as I know there are no exceptions for journalists to break US federal laws.

Anyway, I'd argue that calling him "not a journalist" is a tactic as well. Why not simplify to your stronger point of "Assange broke the law ... and has to deal with the consequences"? Do you feel that if he was a "proper journalist" he should be treated differently?

(Personally, I think trying to enforce US law on foreign nationals who have never set foot in your country is a terrible precedent. I believe that prosecuting him is selective-enforcement, intended to punish him for releasing true but embarrassing information about US government misdeeds, and to dissuade others who might be tempted to follow his example. While he likely broke the laws that he is charged with, I think journalists worldwide are right to be afraid of the change in policy that this implies.)
I'm in that boat. I use FF but I do face weird bugs. I also realize I'm on Linux. Weird bugs: things that use Google fonts sometimes make the text white on a white search or form box. Anytime I get a Google survey this happens or like when using tends. But not in the Google search bar. Send tabs I love but for some reason I can't send to my Pixel 2. Though I can send from it. Another is that I work in graphics and if I hit my GPU hard then FF will crash. It also won't recovery after the program releases GPU allocation.

These are super minor problems though. I don't need to see what I'm typing so I don't need it and it happens only a few times a month. I would like to send stuff to my phone but more often I'm sending the other direction. Battery life? Who isn't almost always plugged into their charger.

Definitely not a matter of safety, just preference. The chlorine levels in my tap water are high enough to smell.

I used to RO my water with a 5 stage filter. Lately I bypass the last two stages and just do one stage of 5micron sediment and 2 stages of charcoal block.

Chlorine smell is gone, taste is great, and the filters in bulk cost $1.50 each for the sediment and $3.00 each for the charcoal. I change the sediment monthly (it gets quite discolored) and the charcoal every quarter. So $42/year in filters.

My wife had a pretty bad bottled water habit before I filtered, so it’s a huge cost saver. We fill water bottles several times a day for us and the kids, so probably ~1,000 gallons a year? Plus it also goes in the coffee machine, and for cooking.

Prepayment instead of post-payment could work.

An author asks for money upfront. This amount is going to fund the creation of the work. Then a copy goes to the preparers to do as they wish (including making copies to distribute). I foresee crowd funded prepayments to be the norm in the future, and also sponsorships (like patreon) style payments would be the alternative model.
Desktop applications has already seen a massive decrease in the last 15 years or so, but I think that could start to reverse because of:

1. Increased data privacy issues as more and more companies either sell information or get hacked

2. Ongoing cloud costs, which sometimes increase in large amounts as companies restructure prices and feature sets.

If there are 3 competing products, and one offers a Desktop application in addition to their cloud offering, then I think quite a few customers will choose the Desktop version due to the 2 points above.

The people here aren't talking about finding a meme that contains words in their search.

Reddit is simply the largest site that disincentivises content-for-contents sake. When you find someone asking a complex question, the person answering it does it because they have a real answer- not because they can make some money by googling the answer and rewording it. That's what the rest of Google's content often devolves to. For certain topics.

This is a bold face lie. The cost of producing the fake is nearly irrelevant, what matters is the reputation of the broadcaster. This has been so simce time immemorial and did not change with Photoshop.

Many journalistic revelations stand, even though they could be trivially faked. The Snowden documents would cost trivial amounts of money to fake (it's a bunch of PowerPoints), but people believe it, because se US government issued a warrant for his capture. The metadata is much harder to fake.

My dad grew up poor in Chennai before immigrating to the US, and all of his horror stories revolve around the failing/nonexistent infrastructure. According to relatives who still live there, it is now a common practice in Chennai to have variable pricing based on the cleanliness of the water - you can get a 20-50% discount if you're willing to accept dirty yellow water and boil/filter it yourself. The thousands of trucks that carry water into the city now drive 2-3x farther to find water, some from dubious polluted sources. Several years ago during a severe flood, a relative of mine recounted how she had to pour water through a cloth sheet to remove live worms and bugs. Hopefully they finally find the political will to address the situation, but I wouldn't count on it.
No. Per wiki.

Deepfake (a portmanteau of "deep learning" and "fake"[1]) is a technique for human image synthesis based on artificial intelligence. It is used to combine and superimpose existing images and videos onto source images or videos using a machine learning technique known as generative adversarial network.[2] The phrase "deepfake" was coined in 2017.

Because of these capabilities, deepfakes have been used to create fake celebrity pornographic videos or revenge porn.[3] Deepfakes can also be used to create fake news and malicious hoaxes.[4][5]
> Perhaps aggregation apps should have the client do the scraping, rather than being entirely dependent on server side scraping?

Unfortunately, this is where the RAM Copy Doctrine gets us into trouble. It is not only illegal to "exceed authorized access" to a networked computer, the precedent currently considers loading any copyrighted work into RAM potentially infringing, e.g., if the rightsholder says you're not allowed to use their copyrighted work in that way, you have to present a viable fair use defense.

afaik, no one has brought suit against things like client-side adblockers and browser extensions that modify a page, but if they did, they'd be likely to prevail under current precedent.

We really need true legal protection for users to select their own user agents and to be free to access information willfully transmitted to them in the way they like, especially in the case of something like Facebook/Twitter, where the site itself is just a wrapper around other peoples' copyrighted content.

That will only happen if someone can convince enough Congresscritters to carve out an exception in the actual law, rather than relying on long-outmoded pre-internet judicial interpretations.

Power Ventures scoped down to extract only your own data out of Facebook and they still ended up owing $3M in damages.

On the contrary, do. Having things in working memory is the core of creative problem solving.
I disagree that worrying about timing is not a value add, at least for real time [1] applications. Worrying about the timing is absolutely crucial for applications like servo loops. Making timing guarantees seems a lot more straightforward with an fpga than an RTOS.

Controls folks and software people tend to have very different conceptions of what “real-time” means. I’m talking about a loop that must execute once every (say) microsecond exactly or things start physically breaking.
>The point is, a language’s popularity should not determine its usefulness. [...] More importantly, we need to stop treating them as fads, religions, or special memberships to the cool kids clubs.

I think a lot of debate about "popularity" boils down to 2 different meanings of "popular".

The folks defending a language that's losing "popularity" are thinking of "popular" like a high-school prom queen type of popularity. E.g. Maybe the language is no longer the prettiest girl at the dance but I don't care and nothing you can say will change my mind!

But as I tried to explain in my previous message about ColdFusion popularity[1], others are using the word "popular" as an imprecise proxy for up-to-date-language-I-can-easily-get-a-job-in. E.g. Is this language widely used enough where I can tap a vast community's help to solve problems? In this 2nd meaning, "popularity" does indeed determine its usefulness.

An example is Python being "more popular" than Lisp. Again, don't think of "prom queen popular" to trigger defensive essays; instead think of "ecosystem popular". Here's an excerpt[2] from Steve Huffman about migrating Reddit from Lisp to Python:

>If Lisp is so great, why did we stop using it? One of the biggest issues was the lack of widely used and tested libraries. Sure, there is a CL library for basically any task, but there is rarely more than one, and often the libraries are not widely used or well documented. Since we’re building a site largely by standing on the shoulders of others, this made things a little tougher. There just aren’t as many shoulders on which to stand.

Google makes more money from you flailing around and fruitlessly searching over and over than giving you the right answer the first time.

That will work right up until the time somebody comes along and build a search engine (or other app) that will just "give you the right answer the first time."

For all their size and power, there's really nothing - in principle - stopping somebody from coming along and doing to Google, what Google did to Altavista. Yes it would be hard to execute, which may be why it hasn't happened... yet.

I agree 100%! Though I prefer to store things digitally. I feel so liberated no longer having so many scratch pieces of paper around that may contain an important note or solution to a problem. I remember working through a calculus book and having about half a foot's worth of paper (notes, attempts at solving problems, rewritten solutions to problems, etc) that eventually fell victim to entropy and was absolutely useless for anything but that I kept around out of fear of forgetting all of it. At least now it's all in one box. Maybe I'll burn it this winter as kindling - or would that be too derivative? :^)

I have a good example for this, try googling how to make Linux ask for a password when using sudo.
Not really. The differences in pressure would create spin, not push the craft in a different direction. You would need something else to push against, to "tack" against the solar wind, like how a sailboat's keel pushed against the water. Magnetic fields are an option, but those get less and less as you move away from the sun.

There are some complicated options involving mirrors that could move a craft in other directions, but they are radically difficult to manage. You send five mirrors with the craft as a formation, one on each side and one ahead. Then you can bounce the lasers off these mirrors to steer the ship. At the destination, the ahead mirror is used to slow the craft. All these mirrors would essentially be separate craft that would need to be themselves accelerated and managed.
tl;dr: because they've already won, Amazon has zero reason (financial or moral) to fight counterfeit products. Nothing the consumer says or does can meaningfully impact Amazon's bottom line, and no regulation exists (nor is likely to exist in the future) to force them to "fix their shit".

Unlike banks, Amazon is now simply too big to fail.

(Because unlike banks, Amazon has a million and one services that all more than compensate for each other. Amazon, the website, is barely a fraction of Amazon, the corporation)
