I guess so, but a more relevant post might have been an article talking about the mast brothers fraud, and how it can relate to a tech industry.

But what do I know. Based on the number of comments, readers love this post, so I was clearly wrong that it was off topic.
can anyone comment on the differences between cerebras and other chip startups trying to rethink the semiconductor architecture for AI? what are the main technical forks?
For those wondering what a seemingly marginal difference would mean in real world examples, take a look at this video from a conference on electric aircraft design a year ago:

> You made the claim that corporations must act ethically or its securities fraud. That claim is not correct. Some unethical behavior can indeed be illegal but unethical in itself doesn’t automatically break the law.

Not exactly no, I made the claim that a lot of unethical, but not directly illegal, behavior has been successfully called securities fraud.

> So, ultimately the corporation is an entity designed to advance the interests of shareholders.

Which is not the same as "generating returns for shareholders". Of course this also gets even more confusing with voting/non-voting shares, where for the majority of shareholders, your interests don't matter at all.

I mostly agree, although it's worth noting that there are probably some fixed overheads of being employed that eat up some of the otherwise expected benefits. Let's consider a scenario where there are 4h average fixed overhead for working at a company. Now let's run the 0.6 time vs. 1.0 time scenarios.

1.0 time. 40h - 4h overhead = 36h. Pay = 1. Work-to-pay ratio is 36h:1p.

0.6 time. 24h - 4h overhead = 20h. Pay = 0.6. Work to pay ratio is 33h:1p. You'd have to suppose that the 0.6 time worker is at least 1.1x as productive per hour just to break even. If you provide benefits that don't scale with fractional work you need even more of a productivity edge to justify it.

The corollary of this is that you'd really better make sure you have little fixed overhead time for your workers if they are working fractional time.
It does not really matter if one can prove that something is government directed, because “coordinated inauthentic” behavior is sufficient reasonable grounds to take action.

An individual expressing their own pro-government views from their own account is fine. An individual pretending to be someone else, or multiple people, is not, regardless of the content.

Unity is not inherently bad. It's garnered that reputation because its super easy to learn and make a somewhat workable game out of, even if you have absolutely 0 understanding of the workings of your code. I'm not familiar with Kerbal's code or any blogs / videos on it but I would imagine they're doing Newtonion physics simulations which are going to be rather intense for a game and probably add an unavoidable burden to the overall performance of the game. They also could have just been doing things that are not efficient in Unity and not realized at the time and maybe will not repeat the same mistakes in Kerbal 2 if it is written in Unity. This meme that Unity is inferior to either Unreal or a custom built engine are annoying. Sure, if the Kerbal team built their own engine from the ground up and hired on their own engine team I'm sure they'd be able to make micro-optimizations to make the game run better but at a much higher development cost.
Unfortunately that's pretty common. Old-line companies (including in tech) often still have the sick-time/vacation distinction but my impression is that it's relatively uncommon in newer companies. It has to some degree been replaced with "unlimited" vacation but that comes with its own set of issues.

If the world stay where it is today forever, sure.

You could well bring up that 30 years ago China is about as wealthy as Africa, and that it is a total non-factor in the world economy.

The bottomline is this, China had 1.4 billion people, they will consume, even if they consume 1/4th as much individually, the market will be the same size as of the US. It probably already happened, just that services in China is much cheaper. Out of the 13T consumption that is the US market, how much of it is in the form of goods? You'll probably get the same level of service in China for 1/4 the price. The growth of consumption in China has been consistently greater than the growth of the economy as a whole for the past 10 years, and it'll likely happen in the foreseeable future as China's export shrink and infrastructure spending halts.
This is a great chart, and I've seen it before here on HN.

Just in case you were thinking this is perhaps a counter-example to what I said, I think it's the other way around, it very much supports my claim. The processors have (obviously) gotten faster, and yet for some applications latency has seemingly gone down. Why? Software and requirements are the reason, not hardware.

Terminals also are not an example of the "best systems" in terms of latency. You'd be much closer if you looked at video game latency, or tracked industrial applications that have low latency requirements from the start. The whole reason terminals have gotten slow is that they aren't trying to go fast.

Quite a few of today's most modern terminals have recently added performance as a feature, started rendering with the GPU, and quite predictably, they are restoring super fast response times to our terminals. iTerm2 would be an example of this.

To get slightly off-topic, this is why Trump isn't really a white-supremacist. He's a Donald Trump-supremacist, and he plays the part of an America-supremacist because it makes lots of people clap for him and give him more power. And it just so happens that actual white-supremacists get inspired by that kind of rhetoric, and he doesn't care enough about anyone other than himself to bother disavowing them, because they're just more people clapping for him.

That's also something I have thought about. I always figured I was mostly alone and there wouldn't be any demand for such a thing.

The way I imagined it working was a simple instruction set emulator that mmap()ed ROM images and had a fixed RAM size (in the order of 64k). Have an adjustable resolution, but simple fantasy console style display. Also the option to allow the apps to call host commands.

It would be ideal for things like volume controls, and pop up calculators etc. Maybe a really lightweight Winamp style mpd front-end.

Initially this struck me as an idea when I was hunting for what was eating memory on a 256Meg machine. I found the Volume control (one slider, and a menu dock item) required 4meg to operate.
Defaulting to more restrictive, less featureful constructs just seems like engineering 101.

I am just wondering, why there is no similar product as FPGA array. As far as I know, it’s the cheapest way to see if there is product/market fit for a semiconductor product. High speed transceiver as well as memory controllers are included in FPGA. This single wafer approach looks very interesting to me. I was intern at Infineon some time ago and was working on device distribution characterization across 200 mm wafer. The chips in the middle were 2-3 better performing than these in the border. So how Cerberas’s chip manages this issue? Middle parts are throttled or low performing areas near wafer’s boarder are disabled? How much does it cost?.. I can imagine it being shipped on thermal pad with liquid nitrogen cooling bellow. There must be some wires bonded for interface to the host. Very interesting technical project. I am very curious what are the clients for such huge specialized chip.
That would be absurd. Facebook and Twitter are not worth dying for.
That's typically in the case of UB, where compilers can make whatever assumptions they want. In this case, even if the code is completely within the C spec, the compiler cannot guarantee that the data is unmodified.

"Rendering" in this context is turning an abstract representation of the content of your page (or state of your application) into HTML (either as bytes delivered in an HTTP response from a server, or as DOM nodes created by JavaScript on the client).

For Hacker News, "Server Rendering" is taking the top 25 stories, creating a large string containing all the HTML tags, then serializing that to a byte stream.

A hypothetical "Client Rendering" alternative to HN might be downloading a JSON chunk containing the data about the top stories, then using a JavaScript framework to create DOM nodes in the user's browser that create the same document client-side.

If you mean "Quantitative Easing", it's arguable whether it's the same as "printing money". I won't get into that debate here.

In a related issue, there's a theory making its circles in both right and left camps that if inflation is sub-par for a while, say below 2%, then printing more money won't cause problems.

Why inflation is lower than expected is an economic puzzle. But printing money to avoid paying debt may create new economic puzzles. If they try it, try it gradually please.

(The ideal annual inflation rate tends to be around 2.0% to 2.3%, based on historical record. This is in aggregate. Highs or lows tend to affect different people differently.)

In short, placement new (or some scenarios involving unions) technically cause undefined behavior if you try to use the object after the call to placement new, since the pre-existing object there has had its lifetime expire. std::launder lets you use a pre-existing pointer to the memory at the same location to access the data there.
It's inherent in all communist states (that have existed). There is a document called "Chapter NN", where NN is some number, I think in the teens, from eastern Europe that describes the dynamic. Unfortunately I have no idea how to search for it, so if someone could post a link I'd be grateful. If I recall correctly, the problem is that the State claims to represent the people, but in fact it does not represent the people. Thus, it must lie in everything it says, otherwise it could not claim to represent the people.

No; "Server Rendering" is creating an HTML document as text, then serializing it to bytes and delivering it in an HTTP response. There's no painting in this scenario.

During World War Two, Japanese forces invaded two remote islands with less than ten thousand troops, voluntarily abandoned one island, and were kicked off the other a year later.

As the article says, "Twitter is blocked in PRC". Probably an own-goal in situations like this, since the army of Chinese-government loyalists can't be fully unleashed upon the world. The people of China generally seem pretty loyal to its government, but I'm unsure how much that is due to constant monitoring and systems like "social credit".
As Encarta was being developed (~1991 per another comment here), the Internet was still highly nascent. I was at uni during this period, and a major bragging right of the campus I was on was dedicated high-speed network connections to other schools within the university system ... over 56K leased lines. Those were shared amongst the 100k+ student, faculty, and staff population (though a very small fraction of those used it).

The takeaways I get of this:

1. Exponentially-developing technology can pass you by quickly. The Internet went from exceedingly obscure to global in the ten years of the 1990s. Broadband wasn't ubiquitous by 1999, but it was increasingly available.

2. Standards matter. Even constructing a workstation that could handle reading Encarta was a challenge, and the tools to compose, render, and especially, present multimedia content (images, audio, video) were not common. Microsoft went the closed-source proprietary route, dooming them to the dustbin (though pieces were salvaged).

3. Standards are hard. Re-read above.

4. There are thresholds of utility that make or break things. I've been around infotech long enough (somewhat pre-dating the periods discussed here) that I've seen numerous technologies go from extreme cutting edge to widely adopted to passe. (And quite a few proposed but never gaining critical mass.) The reasons why any given tech fails right now are numerous. Luck plays a major role.

The present has exceptionally cheap bulk storage (my tablet has a 128GB removable microSD card for about $50), high-speed, ubiquitous, and wireless networking, and tools for sharding and distributing updated documents and file formats (git, rysnc, etc.). This makes distributed updatable large-scale works possible.

The technology of written works has undergone several seismic shifts, from clay tablet to papayrus roll to codex to moveable type. Less well-known (but only slightly) are the updatable formats: loose-leaf, three-ring, and replaceable bindings, all introduced in the late 19th century, which enabled updatable works. These were true "periodicals", where sections could be updated with amendments or replacements as information changed.

The database, digital file, early version control, Wiki, and distributed version control are, IMO, all legitimately novel forms of written works, which should be recognised as such. They have and will continue to change how content is created and used, and affects and interacts with society.

As for the quality of Uber Entertainment, their later works tended to be unsuccessful, though they seemed to have some luck with VR.

You're talking about two different things. In this case, you'd use...

const user = Object.freeze({id: 1, status: 'active'});

But const is immaterial to this topic, as it only prevents you from being able to reassign user to some other value, i.e.,

user = 7;

While...

let user = Object.freeze({id: 1, status: 'active'});
user.status = 'disabled'; // throws an error.

Provides the behavior that you're seeking to guard against, regardless of let/var/const usage.
KSP is the only case I've seen where people actually learned to use Linux just so that they could play the game - KSP actually worked better on Linux, because for a long time Windows didn't have a 64bit build, and 32bit build run out of RAM very quickly once you started modding the game.

(And mods for KSP are a thing to behold; they turn a somewhat curious game into a masterpiece and deepest treatment of space exploration in videogames to date.)

> as time goes on it becomes increasingly evident that the rules which the mathematician finds interesting are the same as those which Nature has chosen

There is a fair bit of mysticism that gets bandied about along these lines--and I can certainly see why a mathematical platonist might marvel at the spooky correspondence between beautiful mathematics and to-be-discovered physical theories.

But if you can let go of the platonism, then I think a rather straightforward explanation emerges:

A mathematician is one who explores and names the various ways that a human mind can stretch and fold. I guess it's kind of like yoga. The ways of folding that best reflect whatever it is that makes the human mind, well, human--those ones we call beautiful. Nature is the only thing not of human construction that we fold our minds to fit (you might call this process 'perception')--but we are still only able to fold in human-like ways.

So the mathematician catalogs the ways we can see, and the physicist catalogs the things we do see. It doesn't strike me as especially spooky that the physicist finds things that correspond nicely to the mathematician's list.
I think it's not error rate, but signal-to-noise ratio. Wikipedia has a lot of noise and is suitable for a critical reader. Old encyclopedias has less quantity but better quality. The whole situation mirrors the old curated internet vs. the new. We still haven't found a situation that is better in every respect between these two extremes.

It's been awhile since I've been over there. How easy is it for those in mainland China to get access to banned tv shows and films? I remember lots of DVD content being sold on the street, but I never came across anything that was in direct opposition to the politics of the regime.

What if Netflix (or some other production company) produced a compelling show with an incredibly critical narrative about the PRC and its leadership? Would citizens in mainland China be able to access it through roundabout means? Would you be able to sow the seeds of democracy? Would they even be interested?

The last time I was on campus in Shanghai and Beijing, half of those I spoke to were critical of the party and did not believe China would catch up to the West. The other half were total ideological zealots and made me know that my government was inferior.

Given my vantage point, I believe the citizenry is at a precipice, but there is no inciting moment to tip the scale. Life in China is comfortable for the burgeoning middle class, and nobody would want to rock that boat.

In any case, I think an unfettered political drama about the PRC would be fascinating to watch.
It is about time they started calling out state actors. It doesn't even matter if they are taking active countermeasures as long as the public is made aware that this kind of thing is happening. It might be more effective if instead of shutting them down, they add a descriptive warning at the top of the post that states, "this message contains misinformation that is being deliberately disseminated by the government of China", along with a link to a relevant writeup of the issue. If they are going to point the finger, then they should point it at the instigator, not an "anonymous state actor". Finish growing a backbone, Twitter.
