People always made that argument, but seeing as S/S systems have been in use for at least a decade now and we're not seeing catastrophic increase in rates of alternator/starter failures, I'd say that's not true. And it's not about fuel savings for me at all, it's just nice that the engine shuts off in traffic, it's quiet for a moment while you're standing still.
I would say it's main fault in the beauty department is that the centre is for students, and so there naturally wasn't much spent on its decoration. Certainly the heavy wear of being a student town in a country with easy access to alcohol does work to bring down the beauty too.

But it manages to give a pretty cosy impression, and with a night life that punches much above the weight of its population otherwise would indicate. Also they gave some good crepes there.

What does the CTO do? Who makes architectural or technology decisions?
They can only lower their profit margin if AMD has the same performance as Intel. Seeing AMD has higher performance there is no way customers will buy a cheaper offering with less performance. It's like Intel vs AMD but reversed. For years AMD's offering lower performance lower priced chips but can't break through the market (CPU).
+1 where I live the jobs with the highest pay grade are for some fancy frameworks. If I've been doing PHP for 5 years on an 10yo framework in a company that didn't feel the need to upgrade to anything. The day I want to find an other job I'm going to be confronted with opportunities that required mastering the latest technologies and I won't find something within my pay range because of this. That is the reality where I live
Futhermore, how am I supposed to learn and practice all this new stuff when my company doesn't allow time to learn anything ? Is home projects enough to fill professionnal requirements for mastering a technology ?
It's not easy to stay away
I agree with you -- I think there's a lot of cultural signalling, perhaps some unintentional by those who use the word 'cyber'. Generally speaking, I'm off-put when someone uses the word "cyber" because I generally interpret that as a signal that someone doesn't really know that much about infosec/cyber-security. For example, let's suppose that I'm meeting with a rep from Company X's cybersecurity team and we're reviewing my threat model, counter-measures, the specifics of the encryption, etc... and I'm asked "this all looks good, but is it cyber?" -- it's just plain off-putting. That said, I'll still do my best to smile and be helpful because, at the end of the day, we're trying to improve the world, not cut people down.
Most people are just trying to make a living. Hopefully the pritzker company is forced to atone for their evils.
What's the more general pitch for learning a functional language in the first place?
A mature HN reader skilled in technology, is least likely to undergo an emotional/identity-driven flight of fancy about political issues pertaining to technology

Heh, except for anything programming language related, what the best web framework to use is, whether end-to-end encryption actually works or is just security theatre, etc.

There are lots of technical topics that people attach their identity to and would look indistinguishable from politics to outsiders. And it's the same in any industry. Look at some of the debates in the educational world.

I think pg's "keep your identity small" essay is one of the most insightful and influential (on me) essays I've ever read, and believe it or not (probably some who review my comments history won't) but I try to practice it in daily life. But it argued to choose what you care about carefully, rather than incorporate nothing into your identity at all. It also didn't argue that people can't debate those issues rationally, if I recall correctly, just that it's harder to do so.

the HN mods ban on politics and punishment of those who try to discuss political topics are in fact making a very strong statement of their political preference

Come now. I'm one of those naughty troublemakers who has sometimes felt that the mods here enforce a particular line of thinking (e.g. Damore is awful and so controversial he can't be talked about, wtf) but you can't possibly claim HN bans politics when maybe 20-30% of the stories discussed here are political in nature.
Off topic but I found Bavaria to be much more snobbish in general. For example, point out something funny about them and they immediately go on the defensive, however everyt time they say something rude and you point it out, they play the German honesty card.

I agree that there would be a better chance for this line of reasoning if Manhattan Community Access had gone the other way in the latest SCOTUS term. But it was 5-4, and the decision does leave open some lines of attack.

In particular, Congressional action around this might probably be able to pass judicial review if it were to define broad due process rights around speech censorship for explicitly defined "public forums." The only thing that SCOTUS loves more than the 1st amendment is the 14th.

No way to know until we fight it out.

Strange that the article seems to hinge mostly on moderation, rather than any of the other things that make HN a great resource.

To me the great difference of HN over anything else has been the expectation on commentors to write something thoughtfull and well argued, and it's discouragement of frivolous commentary.

The mainstream media seems hungup on the concept of moderation when discussing online communities, and I think the moderation framework is only a minor part of what make these communities work.

As a consumer wanting a better HVAC solution, I've been following this space for years and am glad to see your company still here and offering products for sale.

I think there is an opportunity to grow your market if your Puck (or a new kind of Puck) can incorporate air quality sensors and make the data available. If you go this route, please see the recommendations in this comment as accuracy is key (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20642939). I would certainly purchase multiple Pucks if they provided accurate data in a format that I could query myself if I wanted (no subscription BS please). People are concerned about air quality yet have no easy way to accurately measure it in their homes.

The bonus is that if I've got Pucks already, I would be more likely to purchase your Smart Vent products.

Batched signals matter.

A publication's "editorial voice", ranging from grammar and typography, to selection and discussion philosophy, are significant. There's a reason we see things as "New York Times" or "Fox News" or "Mad Magazine" or "Cosmo" or "The Economist" or "Soldier of Fortune" in voice or tone.

This is harder to pin down with blogs and social media, though distinctions can emerge, whether through self-selection, path-dependency, gross scale, algorithms, or some combination of the set.

Prejudice can be misused, but its advantage (to the judger) is that it makes judgement cheaper by reducing the set of what needs to be considered, at least for an initial judgement.

That's characteristic of any domain in which there's an information overload, or in which distinctions are subtle and difficult to identify initially. And argument, by the way, for dealing with copious information less by enhanced processing and more by expedited (and cheap!) discarding heuristics.

If it's a constant stock, sure there could be a sudden loss in confidence. But if the stock is constantly turning over due to existing certificates reaching term, others changing hands at increasing discounts, and new ones being issued, then perhaps no party risks a sudden, large loss.

>So those places seem to breed conversations where people take the time to hear one another and avoid breaking down into pure tribalism.

Another way of looking at it is that in that context, they are interacting as fellow members of their "rec team tribe" rather than as members of competing political tribes. (which they may also be a part of)

> but I'm not sure how quickly they can respond

AMD won't be in the position to just rest on their laurels for years to come. So the fact that Intel is scrambling to come up with a competitive response shouldn't be a concern as far as competition goes in the short-medium term.

I'd say we have at least a few CPU generations coming from AMD without worrying that they become complacent, even if Intel still comes up short.
Which makes a technical inward facing CTO somewhat pointless to me and less impactful than a chief architect reporting to the VP of Eng.

Advanced usage of yum-config-manager with setopts
call me a skeptic but the entire article from CNN is rather dubious. There are several man-made explanations that can account for aberrant behavior in GPS including lack of maintenance and unintended spurious emissions from regional RF towers.

>A US defense official told CNN that Iran has placed GPS jammers on Iran-controlled Abu Musa Island, which lies in the Persian Gulf close to the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz.

Cool. So who was she? When was this reported? did Congress receive this information? The US defense department has every incentive to overstate threats from Iran.

>The official said the Iranian jammers have no effect on US military warships and aircraft.

So, the jammers are magic jammers.

Pretty much. If somebody somewhere invents their own AI framework and uses it to build a better ad targeting system, then Google is toast.

Ha, no worries, wasn't taking a through line in Trick Mirror from what you wrote, but from the excerpts and reviews I've read elsewhere. I feel similarly close to her writing, in a specific way that's a bit electrifying when you initially have the realization of, "Oh! they also wrote that other piece I felt!", something speaking to your brand of existential experience drifting through now.

As for Brian Phillips, if you wanted to read pieces directly adjacent to some in the book, a few of the essays were adapted from freely available longform pieces he had already written. Sea of Crises[0] is very close to the in-book essay if I remember correctly, while the piece related to Out in the Great Alone[1] in the book is more of a side story. I'm a bit envious if you haven't already happened upon those and get to read the duplicative passages for the first time in the course of the book.

Also, I couldn't help clicking through to your profile given this aside (the quality and content of which I don't expect here) and I wanted to say that I appreciate the work you're doing.

Chiplets were for sure an amazing bet AMD made that’s paid off big time.

The smaller dies and modular setup even on the same die gives them so much flexibility in their binning and package integration and must keep defect rates much lower than Intel’s monolithic high core count chips.

I've been working with Clojure for the past decade, and haven't had to deal with any of the craziness.

Let's take a step back from the empirical measurements. It's always good to take measurements when considering performance but in this case I think the concepts are pretty simple. Simple enough that we can analytically predict performance.

Pure python is slow. Dog slow. For the most part, its slowness is due to its power. It's so terribly powerful that very near nothing is determined statically. The next line of code we're about to execute is "i = i + 1". What sort of computation is that in terms of the computer itself -- registers, load/stores with memory? We have no idea: none! Until we get to that line and start to break it down. We can't even guess (or even bound) whether it does one operation or a billion operations. And not just the first time, either. Every time†! i could refer to something other than an integer this time, or you could have patched i's __add__(). Sometimes we capitalize on python's mega-dynamic features but in simpler cases like these loops we don't.

So we should expect to see vast differences between numpy and pure python because numpy's guts are implemented in an extension.

But I'd love it if this article had gone a little deeper. What are some specific details about why we see some differences here? Does one of these versions suffer more heap fragmentation? Are the differences for bigger matrices dominated by cache misses? What's the difference in the disassembly between the for/while/comprehension loops?

† this is technically an implementation detail of CPython IIRC because tracing JIT optimizers like PyPy are somehow able to reason that this can't happen (or trap the cases when it could) and make this go faster when we don't use dynamic features.

Yes, I have noticed the same. I try to put my phone away when I am in public. Kids really pick up on it if you're ignoring them and they have heightened senses of emotion, so it's important for their psychological well-being to know that not everyone is sucked into the machine and actually cares about them. I've always been friendly to children, but after having a few it really makes you appreciate their innocence that much more.

Someone pointed out to me that "this is privilege" conflates two very different ideas. It can mean "this is an unfair advantage which should be taken away", but it can also mean "this is a benefit denied to some people, and it should be shared with everyone".

To take some old settled examples: sovereign immunity was a privilege to be taken away because everyone should be accountable under the law, but voting rights were a privilege to be extended because self-determination is good regardless of race or gender. Sometimes it's obvious what people mean, but sometimes it's very useful to be explicit about what's meant. I think "keep politics out of $X" extends across both categories.

To the extent that a space affects policy on some issue, banning 'politics' effectively empowers the people who benefit from the current state of affairs. As you say, it could still have a payoff worth the cost if some concrete good is being achieved, but I think it is a cost; in an ideal world people would be free to discuss both the current state of affairs and changes they'd like to see. But when spaces are genuinely divorced from any position on an issue, it seems like a privilege to share, to give more people the freedom and resources to at least temporarily step away from problems. Issues are harder to escape or forget for the people who are directly affected, so there is a privilege there, but I don't think the people harassing "rainy day moodboard" Tumblrs to post about Yemen are actually improving anything.

I'm not sure what the perfect balance is, but I appreciate that HN rules try to uphold that distinction. There's significantly more leeway to debate politics when tech engages politics (e.g. government contracts, codes of conduct, privacy), than there is to inject non-tech political discussion simply on the grounds that it's an important topic.

PKI weaknesses extend far beyond state sponsored attacks.

Things like Let’s Encrypt allow anyone that can intercept 100% of the traffic to your site to get a signed cert for your domain with no further validation. Unless your site is directly peered to multiple backbones, you are trusting at least one service provider not to man in the middle your traffic.

Cert pinning sort of protects against this, but it is widely considered impractical.

The certificate transparency efforts also sort of protect against this, though I think there are still CA’s that don’t participate. As long as browsers accept certs from those CA’s, certificate transparency doesn’t solve the problem either. (Also, what percentage of sites actually monitor to see if there are malicious certificates for their domains?)
> And really paying for software is no guarantee that you won't also be the product - I'm not sure where that naive notion came from.

It isn't a guarantee, but not paying for software means that the developers have a strong incentive to figure out other means for extracting value out of you. So it isn't so much that paying for software wont make you the product as it is not paying for software will make you the product (note that this is when businesses are concerned - personally as an individual i give a bunch of stuff for free and i do not care about getting any value out of them, but at the same time i wouldn't build a business around giving out stuff for free).
Numpy drops Python 2 support
US Dept Energy Buttock Cleavage Patent, Expired
Especially as the top dual socket Epyc BEATS the top dual socket Xeon in a workload heavily optimised for AVX-512 and using the Intel ICC compiler.

True, it has more cores, but it seems Xeon's have to clock down when executing AVX-512 ops to stay within their power budget.

It's also doing this at almost half the cost and consuming less power ... that's nothing short of astounding.

Xeon's do have a benefit for workloads that can stay in L3 cache as their mesh means latency is stable, whereas Epyc is 16MB per CCX.

Overall memory latency is also lower, which is the tradeoff with the IO die, but it will be interesting to see what real world numbers for DB's etc. say about that.

So there is this common idea that social media is creating sort of "fake" social interactions where things are said and pictures are taken in pursuit of social reward (likes, follows, engagement). But this behavior isn't really caused by social media, in fact this is just a digital representation of a behavior that people have been doing for a really long time.

This is a completely fresh perspective to me and I find it very interesting, there's a good chance that you're right.
