That's just not the case; Apple were already well behind in performance at the point x86_64 came out, due to them being stuck on POWER. They actively moved to x86, despite big compatibility issues, because of how much better they were.

This is a complete misinterpretation of the above comment.
Step backwards you mean.

Go doesn't have package management, it's just list of git repositories and revisions that should be checked out and compiled with your code.

In fact it is encouraged to have as little dependencies as possible.
Your iPad isn’t marketed as a replacement for your PC in any context that would imply that you could easily run a Unix development environment. Seriously: I can’t imagine anyone who would be aware of Unix development environments who would also be under the impression that an iPad would be a good device for that purpose.
No, the reply from the Ui employee specifically mentions in which fw release that bug was fixed.

This is awesome. I now have Guns'n'Roses playing in my office, and Axl Rose is a faint voice coming from the garage.
It's a good thing that the next Surface is going to use AMD's CPUs. It's likely that (unlike other laptop manufacturers) Microsoft will spend a decent amount of time to work through sleep and power issues on the software side at least for Windows, which will then trickle down to other manufacturers.
Rick Beato is excellent. Nahre Sol and Adam Neely also do great analyses of things. Adam in a more theory oriented way and Nahre in a more feeling and composition focussed way; "Funk as digested by a classical musician" for example looks at funk to try and find the key structures of the style which illuminates things I might not have noticed otherwise.
You guys are much too naive :) To me it seems obvious the site is just humorous and not serious. Of course the passwords have not been typed by a toddler but are simply generated randomly.

I guess the author wanted his site to have mild educational value, in that smashing your keyboard generates passwords stronger than the average password picked by people.
To rephrase the title, “people who don’t do things themselves don’t learn to do things.”

Growing up in the Chicago suburbs I never knew where I was going until about age 15 my Dad got me a giant laminated map of the city and surrounding areas about 4’ x 5’. I hung it on my wall and it was my job to give directions. Until being forced to learn I never cared. The article is unsurprising. It’s like learning a new programming language, you don’t learn it by watching YouTube videos, you learn by writing code.
> I am not more productive in a metropolis.

That matters when you're an individual that works on solo or small projects, but once you start working on project at scale with many individual teams, the time you spend coding matters less relative to time spent collaborating. There's no the teams I work with daily could be just as productive if we were not all in the same office.

Companies like Google or Facebook would not be more productive if thousands of engineers worked remotely from small towns.

It’s not like Apple can’t use UserVoice — Microsoft does for some products. Apple just doesn’t need to care about customer feedback very much.
I wish they had at least made an effort to link to RFCs[0][1][2][3][...] that define SSH2 protocol and that also explain the handshake portion more accurately and in more detail (found one link to rfc4253 from article).

I also hope they didn't decide to roll their own SSH2 stack for their product (article doesn't mention if they did or did not).

Another thing I wish people would do is to include a link to .pcap of the network traffic they are trying to explain. Found one[pcap].

The SNES is a 1990s game console. Its music is generally synthesized by the SPC700 chip, from individual instruments stored in 64 kilobytes of RAM (so the instruments often sound synthetic and muffled). The advantage is that it's possible to separate out instruments.

Either:

- Programatically gather a list of all samples used in the song

- Generate many modified .spc files, each of which mutes 1 sample via editing the BRR data.

Or

- Use a modified SPC700 emulator which you can tell to skip playing a specific sample ID.

Record the original song to .wav. And for each sample, record "the song with one sample muted", and take (original song - 1 sample muted), to isolate that 1 sample. If the result is not silent, you have isolated 1 instrument from the original song.

The results may not always be perfect, and will need manual labeling of instruments, or manually merging together multiple piano instruments. But I think this process will work.
I like to joke that Google Maps/Waze purposely route you different ways to the same places to make you helpless and in need of GPS so you will keep using them.
Africa has been the hardest hit. Progress has been made in reducing deaths in recent years, but millions is not an exaggeration and children have often been the victims. While most of us have a negative attitude towards DDT because of its impact on the wildlife, it did play an important role in controlling mosquitoes and reducing malaria infections in the past.

They're referring to Simons; over a 30 year period RenTec's Medallion Fund has beaten Berkshire Hathaway.
Now that POWER is fully open, it will be interesting to see which RISC architecture becomes the x86 challenger (if either). RISC-V is eating up Intel (and ARM) from below, but POWER has the, well, power to compete at top of the line (before Zen 2 came out, anyway). The next gen POWER is supposed to be built on Samsung's 7nm process.

If RISC-V wins, it will be because it has a better developer/enthusiast/hacker story, but if so it will take a longer time to get there.

Either way, I hope for he sake of our infrastructure that an open standard wins out, and that we have enough competing manufacturers that we never have a repeat of Intel's utter dominance.
I use a $250 mouse + a $250 mechanical keyboard as the laptop is docked... Pretty sure nothing compares to apples track pads. At the same time sitting hunched over a laptop on a desk is sub optimal too, many do it. Point is for significantly less money a non apple device is most likely gonna get the job done and not be a disaster hardware wise. Is the Trackpad really worth $2,000?
Omg could you imagine the toddler sitting there, waiting for a request and then banging out a random password of the right length
messed around with the 2stem model for a bit and it's reasonably good. I think phonicmind is still a bit better - phonicmind tends to err on the side of keeping too much, while the 2stem model tries to isolate aggressively and often damages the vocal as a result
(distorting words by losing some harmonics, or losing quiet words entirely)

example:

https://files.catbox.moe/wjruiv.mp3 (phonicmind)

https://files.catbox.moe/uuzot3.mp3 (spleeter 2stem)

you can hear spleeter does better at actually taking out the bass drums, but phonicmind never loses or distorts any part of the vocal, while 2stem occasionally sounds like singing is through metal tube (harmonics are missing). will try to read instructions more carefully and see if there's some way to fix.
People REALLY hate college degrees on this site. I think my degree was a great decision.

I've met a few decent self-taught programmers. Most are awful. Over and over again the bootcamp grads and people who have never attended school end up being the worst performers on my team.

A LOT of the people I have worked with who do not have degrees have bad attitudes and are hyper-vigilant about "no degree" microaggressions.

I use the stuff I learned in university all the time. I didn't go deeply into debt to attend a private university, instead I worked during the day and went to school at night.

There is such a massive glut of people trying to get into the entry level programmer jobs. It's an easy decision for me: Throw the people who do not have a 4 year degree or relevant work experience into the trash. I would assume that a LOT of other people are doing this.
So, basically, "blue collar workers don't need no stinking doctors" (among other things).

I don't know what on Earth their criteria was, but this is not a study conclusion I can remotely agree to get behind.
The author does not provide any reason why these skills cannot be learnt outside of an academic environment. It is possible to develop alone your programming skills to an extent where you can get hired as a junior developer. The rest can be learnt in the workplace.

Curiously one of the best developers that I have pleasure of knowing don't have any degrees. If I could go back in time I would have never wasted 4 years of my life going to a university for a CS degree.
This actually would mesh pretty well with that one Kaby Lake G NUC, released in 2017 and probably had roots in 2016 when AMD's stock was at $3, that had Radeon graphics inside https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-discontinue-kaby-lak...
Precisely that.

Is he using it wrong?
McDermott's paper is a classic for a reason. Back at the dawn of the first wave of AI hype, he was taking people to task over wishful thinking, and over applying aspirational labels to mundane computations (e.g. "thinking", "solving" for simple graph searches) thus making them sound more powerful than they were. And over building only toy problem solutions, under the assumption that the results would scale to real world problems (spoiler: they never did).

We need this kind of insight for this current wave of AI hype. Once again we're seeing a lot of wishful thinking, and a lot of aspirational labels (e.g. that DNNs are "thinking" up solutions etc). And inevitable extrapolation of toy solutions, assuming they will scale to real world scenarios (e.g. the fully autonomous driving fiasco). And the hype does not correspond to reality.
To add, as much as I love university... it was mostly a waste of time for me. Paradoxically, the humanities are now more interesting because I am older and seeking to understand what the fuck is reality.

I'm of the opinion we need to split school in a way where young people focus first on how to be useful, then be useful for a period of time. From here, humanities are more relevant once one has enough wealth and time to appreciate it.
Personally I would far rather we find a way to live within nature, co-existing within the limits of the natural world. Not because we can't yet recreate it as some Natureland theme park but because it is the right - and sane - thing to do. It doesn't mean accepting a primitive or non-technological life.

We can't guarantee we will ever be able to even know what we lost, let alone recreate what we're losing, or ever properly understand the interaction between species, or understand what discoveries we missed out on. Apart from anything else dramatically more species are undiscovered than discovered. Of those discovered vanishingly few outside the small number of agricultural ones are well understood. Agriculture that aims to remove species variation and variety.

Maybe I read too much into it, but with "I suppose" you make it sound as though you have a grudging acceptance to care only until such time as that magic Deus ex Machina of Jurassic Park and terraforming arrives. Then what? Right back to "fuck the environment we can terraform a new one"? Given human nature, far more likely we damage the natural environment way beyond our ability to either fix or live with and crash civilisation long before then -- damage without any care is a road we are very well travelled along after all. Seems "we" not including me have decided the planet's environment is secondary to profit. ...repeat until the profit or life support capability breaks.
All packages that matter were already ported, some new packages work only with version 3, many popular packages already dropped support for python 2, a lot will drop in December.

Most (all? actually I don't know any from your list that do) packages that you listed are no longer maintained
No, that wouldn't work. The options basket strategy you refer to did have nontrivial tax advantages, but

1) Those tax advantages can only improve returns which are already fundamentally strong, and

2) There is no "smoothing" effect achieved; the options baskets do not defer returns for years at a time.

I get that the cynical take is, as ever, the attractive one on Hacker News. But speaking frankly, what you're saying doesn't actually make sense. Among other problems with your explanation, there's a straightforward wrinkle. While it's not available to the general public, other institutions like Bloomberg and WSJ have had (and still have) access to audited attestations of Medallion's track record over a timespan of 25 years.
Yes, the Pi can be configured to work as a WiFi hotspot and you can then connect via SSH, e.g. using Termius (or a VNC app, if one needs a graphical environment). It’s straightforward to add gcc, ghci (Haskell) and several other languages/development environments.

Having said that, would also recommend the iSH app (https://ish.app/), which gives you an x86 Alpine Linux environment directly on the iPad without additional hardware.
Apparently the trick is to set the GPS to always be North-Up. That way you can see which compass direction you're heading.
If society relied merely on astute talented individuals, it wouldn't get very far. Most of the most astute talented individuals that have had an impact on society have had that impact as a result of all the less astute individuals in the organizations (corporations or otherwise) of which they were a part. The Manhattan project is exemplary of this.
It breaks trust.

The phoning home isn't the issue - it's the lack of communicating it and lack of offering an ability to turn it off that is the problem. A vocal minority may grab pitchforks if it's opt-out rather than opt-in but most would be fine with it.... Ubiquiti did it one worse and didn't even offer opt-out.

Instead you have your network device provider saying - well if you don't want our devices to call home use another device in front of us to block it.

So the core issue is trust and basic respect for your clearly technical and security minded customers.

I keep on hearing a rumor about a new HTML5 based RSA/OOB: It's one of those things that I keep on hoping for when I unbox a new SuperMicro, but, I've got 12K+ of these in the field and I'm finally at a point where I can replace them with Dells.

In about 5 years, maybe I'll replace the ones I have at home (admittedly, I really should just do a blade server at home -- it'd probably be less power draw!)

Alternatively just come to my house and try not to trip over a zoropsis.
Lack of transparency - lack of communication - lack of at the very least an opt-out.

Lack of Transparency: No specific details on what or when they transmit.

Lack of Communication: Didn't tell customers they were putting this in place.

Forcing customers to employ additional network security on a network device if they don't trust what you're doing ... which is hard to do given the lack of transparency and communication.

>there must be some grievous harm telemetry causes that I am not aware of.

What you're not aware of is the same thing the rest of us aren't aware of ... and that is what is actually sent and what triggers that etc.
It's not the user's responsibility to justify why thy don't want you eavesdropping on their property. Even if you manufactured the device, its not your property after you sold it.

It's your responsibility as the manufacturer to ask for permission if you want to observe someone's private property in any way.

> demonstrably toxic minority.

Standing up for property rights is toxic? Just because software made it easy to observe and/or control a device after the 1st sale doesn't give you the right to eavesdrop on other people's property (or vandalize it with an unwanted, forced update).

The farmers had an interesting response - since farming without chemicals results in much lower yield & less income, they were letting people "sponsor" chemical-free areas of their farm (think Patreon for farming). The more sponsorship they received, the more areas of farmland they converted. At a certain threshold, people could even pay to have the farmland replaced entirely with flowerbeds for bees.
So alarmist! Like after the Great Oxygenation Event, which wiped out the organisms who caused it, new organisms evolve. Life goes on, folks! Just, without us and our ecosystems.

In the US cyclists and pedestrians are getting killed at a higher rate than ever before. Partly because 50% of people are driving huge trucks and SUVs.
I think the problem is bigger than that. Until we understand the intricacies of how entire ecosystems sustain themselves, I don't think bio-engineering species will really be helpful. A species won't survive / thrive unless the ecosystem sustains it.
I think a bunch depends on how people used their time in university. The typical college graduate has an advantage over the typical bootcamper. At the extremes is where it doesnt really matter because the fundamental driver was different. People focused on the job will always yield to those that are driven intrinsically (and, in a way perpetually suffer those that are intrinsically motivated as they are the only ones inventing things)

Those 2003 (AMD Opteron) - 2007 (Intel Core 2) years were some of the most successful years for AMD, and it continued for a little while after until they couldn't keep up anymore.

If the result of this is that AMD gains in power and market share for a few years and then the there will be another major leap in CPU quality due to Intel, I'd consider that pretty good.

A lot of the people I have worked with over my thirty years working, who do have degrees, frequently come across as blinkered know-it-alls because as they have a CS degree they therefore know everything. A fair selection of whom were canned as despite great degree grade they could do little beyond make tea in the real world. The reality is just the same - most people with degrees are awful.

I take issue with bootcamp being self taught - they are not remotely the same thing at all. I would probably be more suspicious of bootcamp grads than anything else - from experience of various commercial training over the years. Someone truly self taught - rather than winging it - is approaching it a very different way.

Being old, most of the seniors in my early career had no CS degree or even degree at all. A fair selection of whom could give anyone in today's world a run for their money.

The TL;DR of which is, of course, most applicants regardless of background will be pretty dire... Which is why hiring remains non-trivial.

Same here. There are comments further down, which also assert this. This is probably because there are more developers in the market (overall) that have degrees than not, along with a lack of passion to expand their skills.
