I'm glad you pointed out your authority and the guidelines that you have adhered to otherwise your point may have been missed.
It's a normal occurrence in the cities I've lived in that people who are not distracted just walk in front of moving traffic, despite there being a green light, expecting cars to stop, which they do. Frequently they are partially or completely turned away from the oncoming traffic. They may be crossing at a crosswalk or not.

I don't know if this is becoming more common, but it's been on my mind more in recent years and I think it has influenced me a little bit as a pedestrian to step in front of cars like I don't care when I do have the right of way. Whether or not I am entitled to, I imagine it increases my risk.

So I think people should definitely consider that pedestrians are changing and not just drivers.
the question is how long do we have to suffer until we elect a government standing for a no nonsense approach to climate change. and many people do not even believe in man made climate change ... my guess is it won't happen.
I game with my 2700X/RTx2080 and it’s phenomenal, Battlefield 5 is gorgeous in 4K (though I have to drop to 1440 if I enable RT and ultra settings, that’s the GPU though not the cpu).

It’s so good I’m probably going to defer my upgrade for Zen 2 til Zen 2+ or whatever it’s called.
Does it work with VirtualBox? I want to run Windows.

I've installed a couple of the Intel LGA CPUs, and I don't remember there being that much force required to put the lever down; although it's a bit less comfortable than the traditional ZIF. Speculation is that ZIF sockets are harder to ruin in manufacturing and shipping than all the pins in LGA sockets, allowing AMD to have more confidence in the supply chain.

For higher end chips, like ThreadRipper and Epyc, AMD uses LGA like Intel -- the pin count is too high not to.
I believe I read somewhere that a "properly sized" AC unit should be able to cool a home 2F / hour. I could be wrong on that, but my personal experience lines up with that pretty well.
Err that's the entry level cut to the bone product to make it look not to expensive for journalists who have brought into the mac eco system at the lower level.

For high end workstations which is the pros market a realistic spec will be a lot more for example back in 99 when I was working with built to the hilt pc in todays money it would be over $10k - and real workstations like Silicon graphics cost a LOT LOT more
The upside of being a COBOL jockey is that you have a steady job and basically just work a runbook. Some people dig that!
If this writing is at all representative of Gen Z it's going to be a VERY interesting cohort. I sense some extreme social alienation lurking.
I am pretty sure Google Drive does this as well.
You said "Now they are occupying space more deserving people could have been." If drive is itself deserving, what makes those other people "more deserving"?

Is your claim simply that we overweight it?
I have too frequently had problems with hardware support in OS outside Linux and Windows for non Intel chipsets.

One that sticks out is virtualization support in freebsd and others. I don't know if it's still true but the time risk isn't worth the cost benefit for me any more.
It's also reasonable to believe that the "government" is not all on the same page. Everything can be true: some officials were happy to greenlight the tech transfer at the beginning of the process, other parts of government found out and disagreed but their hands were tied, and amidst all of that AMD leadership firmly and rationally believes that it's not being traitorous to transfer tech of Gen N when China's desperately stuck on Gen N-2 and "state of the art" used by the US is Gen N+5.
Yes, that is what I did, and also taking showers. Now it's midnight, and still hot. Wonder what weather it will be tomorrow.
I think it boils down to:

I believe it is possible to design a secure system that complies with warrants while otherwise retaining user privacy; you don't. That's okay.

Before computers existed police could bust down your door with a warrant and search through the files/mail. I don't see why that should change just because we store files/mail digitally now.
fair point, that said they also get violence from people sometimes and risk their lives on a regular basis; you gotta have some deep desire for helping.. that or a deathwish

I hope for future generations that there are enough free thinkers that will practice civil disobedience in such a case.

I can't imagine anyone with any degree of tech understanding and intelligence supporting such a big brother policy.
On the timescales it would be truly useful, any reasonable power source would degrade and electronics would fail due to solar radiation. That would be made worse because (I think) a stable orbit would be outside the Van Allen belts and subject to stronger radiation.

Physical plates would be best... but honestly, a visible and obviously man made object in orbit would be in and of itself symbolic and perhaps inspiring to a follow up civilization if ours were to collapse and enter a dark age.

How many of these companies will be around in 5 years? 10 years?

I am looking forward to iOS 13 Reminders and Notes. At least then my notes will not be on a platform that will probably dissolve within then next decade.
The only difference when they do choose the products you recommend (in my case it is Apple), they come to you first before even trying the manufacturer's support.
More mainstream tech sites almost certainly already have Ryzen 2 CPU's under NDA. Publishing any results ahead of launch would mean they wouldnt get samples again in the future.
Is the design better in some fundamental way, or is it just about equality comparison and other shallow "wtfs"?
Still should have charges related to attempted murder (knowingly incorrect testing for conditions that can easily lead to death), and some kind of charge through threats that lead to at least one person dying.

We also need to stop focusing just on her and also Ramesh Balwani who was just as complicit.
I lived for 15 years in Illinois and people would be freaking out if it got to 45C. For context 113F (~45C) looks to be the highest temperature ever recorded in Peoria (which is in central Illinois). The average high there in the hottest month (July) is only 86F (30C). Even in Illinois this would break temperature records (not to mention that the temperatures I quoted are also a fair bit south of the latitude they said).

Edit: Honestly the Midwesterners who would take that heat the best would probably be Minnesotans as it would be a great excuse to be on all of those lakes they are always telling me about.
I thought she’d take a plea deal. She really is delusional.

Too bad this won’t be televised.
I haven't seen the name Remember the Milk mentioned in years. I had to google them and was a little surprised to see that they're still around.
Same boat, bought 2700X as stop gap because couldn’t wait for Zen 2 and it’s so damn good I can’t find a reason to upgrade to a 3900X or 3950
I have a Dell Precision T7600. The only thing I hate is the almost full minute to boot with a perc controller and other servery type checks
Spacecraft transmit power and antenna size is limited. This means the amount of power that arrives at earth is rather low because microwaves spread out quite a bit with distance. The other issue is that NASA only has so many big radio dishes in the deep space network[0] to gather this small amount of power and extract a signal. Technology has improved, but in order to get much higher bandwidth we'd need bigger dishes. We also need at least three around the globe to get continuous coverage. Although perhaps by the time this mission lands we could have multi-kilometer aperture receivers on the ground or in space. Laser communication could allow for much higher bandwidth, because lasers have a shorter wavelength they don't spread out as much with distance. However, laser space communication is in its infancy and would not work well on Titan due to the smog.

What do you think of products like Google Stadia?

> Was there never a firmware bug that would take down an entire mainframe?

Yes, there was quite an ugly one not that long ago in fact. A local mega-corporation which still has some mainframes had its main (and redundant) systems just roll over and die suddenly, plus their hot backup systems which were offsite. I don't remember all of the details, but IIRC this was a case of "We [the vendor] knew we had a major bug, and we had a fix for it, but we were remiss about getting it out to all of our customers in a timely manner." This type of thing is shockingly rare in the mainframe world, though.
We recently had this issue on holiday in Devon (south-west UK). We’re used to narrow country roads where you need to slow way down when passing someone coming the other way, but Google Maps was constantly trying to direct us down single-track lanes with high hedges and totally blind corners, because they were 5-7 minutes faster.

I’m not even convinced they were faster; the speed limit is technically 60mph on those little lanes but you can’t safely get above ~25.

Meanwhile there’s a slightly less direct but far less stressful route along A-roads, where you can comfortably do 40-60 and don’t have to reverse 300 yards to a passing point if someone is coming the other way.

We found ourselves in desperate need of an “avoid routes via unnamed roads” option.
I've been looking for it too, with no luck! Thanks for the link
What about SSD reliability? Did it improve in the last year or so?
For traditional factory work OT was where you made bank - and there are lots of ways this can be manipulated.
If you think there's nothing wrong with all the complexity that comes with running a distributed system for something that could be done trivially in a single process in a sensible language, I would like to sell you this hammer - you will find it very useful when you next need to screw something together.
Using Github and Slack are just examples. Snapshots and Pinegrow Web Editor work with your local files, so you can use whatever tools and workflow you prefer.

Pinegrow Snapshots has a single feature – taking HTML snapshots. Use your other tools (like Pinegrow Web Editor, GitHub, Slack…) for editing, collaboration and implementing changes.
This is actually believed to be the first market SpaceX is going to go after. It lets them focus more on the tech and make sure it works before trying to scale things like the production of the phased array antennas to the point an average consumer can afford it or even things like user signups and subscriptions and all the legal "fun" that will come with trying to be a last-mile providers globally.

Some of their largest markets are going to be in countries where people cannot afford to have their own phased array antennas anyways. So yeah, especially early this will probably be their market.

Put the transceivers on the roofs of cars. Then make the cars rolling supercomputers -- oh, already done! Then start selling a part of the compute power of the cars as a cloud with no search warrantable address. All of the virtual servers will be ephemeral and will migrate such that they're only ever running on moving cars.
Installing custom built kernel on a proprietary OS sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's likely to break on the first update. More like a proof of concept rather than stable solution.

Honest question dang:

I assume this would also apply to political flamewars?

When a flame war arises when someone asking for clarification regarding a (typically pejorative) claim, is guilt or innocence based on relative epistemological truth, or popularity of the idea? As long as one's words are ideologically consistent with the majority opinion, it seems like the HN guidelines have little bearing on acceptability of comments. But go against the grain in the slightest, even asking how someone knows of what they claim to be true, and it seems it won't be long before a warning is received. Completely misrepresent what someone has said, to the degree of pure fantasy? Perfectly fine. "Do not read minds" would be a positive addition to the guidelines imho.

This particular exchange may not be the best example, but on certain topics it seems like anything short of full agreement is no longer tolerated around here. Arguing in bad faith is one thing, not being allowed to disagree is something else entirely.
It irks me too, but I can't really argue with the decision. X11's model of remote rendering is flawed; try starting up Firefox over a tunneled SSH connection sometime.

In order to justify network rendering at the windowing system level, I think you need a model that could reasonably give good performance to both local and remote applications without application developers having to care.

Sun's early windowing system was NeWS, which had a PostScript interpreter running on the display terminal. I think it was the better idea in the long run, but at the time X was easier to work with and wasn't patent encumbered...
I'm thinking of all the Protestants I know who have it on their bookshelves. I only have it on mine to try and understand what's gotten into their thinking.
If you have a tyrannical government, it's time to either escape or grab your gun.
I think its more a matter of setting up in a country that's stable vs most stable. This is balanced out by the entire cost of doing business vs other stable countries they could have selected.
A tanking stock might lose the company some employees though.
CentOS ain't gonna get me away from systemd, though.
While I share your frustration to a degree, I think what you say might signal to other people that what they do now doesn't matter anymore. This might make the situation even worse, which isn't necessary IMO.

We obviously already have a feedback loop that doesn't act in our favor. While it's surely a good idea to start preparing for the worst, I think it's not a good idea to add to the problems by spreading hopelessness.
Or charge real fines that are impactful. The article mentions a $12M fine from US regulators - you might as not even levy a fine that's so small.
If you feel that your dainty American lifestyle needs moral justification, I have bad news for you.

Personally, I'll settle for having it over not having it.
Thanks a lot!

Am I the only person who is impressed with this person's debugging skill?
But Apple is not a monarchy and the size of a company even protects a CEO in the western capitalism. A CEO of a startup may end up in debt and without a company if bad decisions are made. A CEO of a huge company will usually be let go with a sufficient good bye pay and an outlook for another job (or he blames somebody else and never leaves even if guilty).
My impression is that the Clojure community (including Rich Hickey) is generally transparent and proud about digging up and reusing ideas from the 80s in a modern context.
I agree. Sensationalist trash. The article claims that Ive’s design decisions affected not only Apple, but other brands like Samsung and HTC as well. Really? If they were terrible decisions then other companies wouldn’t have been forced to adopt them and the market would’ve punished Apple, right? The fact that other brands adopted them means that the market wanted slim, sleek and overpriced products. So blame the public, not Ive.
This is a very open-ended question; depending on what you want to do with such an arm would be important to know what to recommend. Do you need fine control and accuracy? Do you need speed, or strength, or some combination? What kind and size of work envelope? Cartesian vs revolute vs...?

Have you considered going "old-school"?

That is, picking up a used Microbotics Teachmover can be easily done - though you'll probably have to hack up a controller for it. Similarly, there are old Rhino Robotics arms that can be bought fairly cheaply (though I warn you - they are very heavy). There are several other robot arms from the 1980s that you can find if you look, but all of them will require more than a bit of "hacking" to get working with modern computer systems.

Have you considered building an arm using Lego or some other similar building kit (Meccano, Fischertechnik, KNex)? Or maybe parts from Servo City, or 80/20 extrusions?

What about hacking a conversion? Like converting an old Armatron to be computer controlled (not easy to do, but it is possible - it was done more than once back in the 1980s, and those articles on how to do it are still able to be found). Note that it is easier to convert the Radio Shack Armatron that has a wheeled base, than it is to convert the joystick controlled Armatron (the latter requires a bit of mechanical skill and knowledge, on top of the electronics to interface it).

Another possibility (though fraught with even greater issues) would be to find a second-hand laboratory industrial robot arm, and get that interfaced. There are more than a few out there which were electric powered (mostly - some have pneumatic end-effector attachments), and are small enough to play with in a "home" setting. The downsides are lack of inexpensive replacement components if you need them, among other issues.
Trade and competition happens with the developed parts. Our policy should reflect that.
Just looking at the first page of results for the 9980xe, it's pretty common, especially for multithreaded benchmarks:

https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/search?q=9980xe

But the big qualifier is "on identical hardware." The geekbench score in the article is not a measurement on the same hardware, it's an aggregate of measurements across lots of hardware (different memory clocks, motherboards, etc). That's why a single run is not particularly useful, it just tells us what that user got on that day with that hardware. We need lots of data points to tell us more or less how it will compare on most builds.

Again, not to diminish how promising the score is for the product. Hats off to AMD. I'm just waiting until there are more data points to be confident.
> "...our miliitary budget is just another cold war era echo..." - No, it's more complicated than that. You're ignoring all current geopolitics.

> "...the ignorant notion that our public officials are moral actors..." - Yes good point. Politicians are inherently evil. We should just let Walmart run the country.

> "We have to be brave and fight back or else..." - Gotta love militant pacifism.
The thing is, a lack of error handling code is a clear sign of deferral. No action is a "pass" up the stack, ultimately to the top loop. In Go, a lack of action is called out, but the policy for pass/keep is explicit on every choice and sometimes can be subtle (for examples of you try to do an http call expecting an error, that looks nearly identical to code that does the opposite.

I think that the try() stuff removing the humdrum repetition is a good idea precisely because it makes all explicit error handling stand out like a beacon. I might name it "pass" or something but that's not as important. If I recall correctly, it vaguely resembles a solution you recommended to me on at least one occasion.

Keeping things as they are seems to me like the worst possible option.
They should print it in discount coupons instead. I know people who will hang to them until the stores reopen :D

Once those start being manufactured at scale, maybe we'll have AESA radars available for hobbyist use? Say, aren't Tesla cars supposed to be using radar?
Understood. I think the problem is that once options like that are given they become abused and eventually institutionalized.

A quick work around for that example would be to a line: `b = b`.

I took your post quite literally--if you believe in equality of outcome, studies like this are important. Personally, I disagree with you in principle, as I think there often aspects of human capital that can only be seen on the level of organization and not the individual. What it means to reflect society in a meaningful way differs depending on the role, but as a practice it has the potential to reduce oversight by leveraging a variety of perspectives.

It's not a matter of belief. There is fact, which is that a broken system is broken, and there is fiction, which is the belief that a broken system can be only broken when requested to be broken, presumably by somebody with the right credentials.

No one with any credibility in the field of math or CS believes this fiction. In addition, I encrypt my data specifically so that no one can get to it. That includes the government. I don't care what the government thinks they are entitled to with regard to my data.

Maybe your point is a nitpick about whether attempts to force somebody to something are effective or not, and I could perhaps have phrased that better, but the point remains that what distinguishes "force" from other means to attempt to bend somebody else to your will is the (implied) threat of punishment / suffering.

Or can you give an example in which person A forces person B to do something without a threat of punishment or suffering?
