Strange that the article does not mention lab grown diamonds. I would have assumed that the increases in production of lab grown diamonds combined with increasing consumer acceptance of lab grown diamonds would be a large contributor to price declines.

Is there reason to believe this is not the case?

As an aside, has anyone ever purchased a lab grown diamond? What was your experience? Where did you purchase it?

I don't know if that's true. Software devs in consulting shops (especially the megacorps - Accenture, TCS, Infosys, Cap Gemini) are probably the bulk of workers that write software. Most of them are likely not on HN but they do build software and they do it on Windows.

Great mission, product and vision. Very excited to see more functionality in browser away from the traditional rails
This is revealing some interesting things to me.

Seems to me the issue is poor self-examination.

At a $2400 price point. You should get a 1080p camera included regardless of your use. If you don't want that much detail on a webcam, you should have a setting to turn it down to 480p or something. But higher quality should the ceiling. Besides some people vlog and want that type of quality on facetime

those were not the worst things. a keyboard that breaks a week after you get it was the worst thing. the second worse thing is this redefinition of a computer into a big ipad. where does my sd card go? i cant plugin to the hdmi tv at a friends or a board room? why does it have a headphone jack? if we dont need it on our phone why do we need it on a laptop (lol)? oh yeah because inch by inch... apple is the epitome of capitalism, good and bad, and lately more bad than good.

There are a lot of negative comments here about Brave. They fall into two classes. One group thinks the present state of affairs with the web is ok, so there is no need for Brave. That view is so cracked that I am not going to bother responding to it.

The other group agrees the web is broken, but then claims that Brave won't fix things and will even make them worse.

I don't think that is true, but the thing is, we need to have something new here, and Brave is the only solution out there at present that is developed, is trying to address all the problems, and is reasonably usable by non-techies, and so I am using it and I urge everyone else to do so too.

To those people who claim Brave is awful, I say they should be working on something they think would better. I suspect they aren't doing that because they are just negative people, or they are trollers who are being paid by the present internet powers-that-be.

On the latter idea, its not just paranoia. If someone came up with a good alternative, people like the advertising networks would feel mortally threatened, and I think it is absolutely certain they would strike back with a massive disinformation campaign.

The article mentions the new keyboard right in the subheader, multiple times in the first couple paragraphs, and has a whole section devoted to it.

TL;DR: Yes, it's a completely new keyboard design, with scissor switches, not butterfly, more key travel, slightly more key separation, more offset for the Touch Bar, and a physical escape key and separate Touch ID sensor.
I’ve had users who requested a mac version of a tool I develop and provided testing for it.

I can’t test on a mac, as I don’t have the money for one, so I build the binaries with Travis CI automatically, and never test them myself — I also can’t notarize them, obviously.
The touch pad is ridiculously huge now, going by my greasy finger smears I maybe use only 50% of the total area. They could easy sacrifice some of that real estate to put the touchbar as row above the function keys and feature a full size set of offset arrow keys.

> Additionally, high frequency trading isn't doing much in the way of matrix multiplies, as they don't have enough time. They've got few hundred clock cycles per packet in to get a reply out.

I'm not a HFT-user, but I've always assumed that simulating Monte-carlo Black Scholes was roughly what HFT-traders were doing. Maybe not Black-scholes itself, but maybe some other differential equation that requires a lot of Monte-carlo runs of.

Either way, Black-scholes (and other models) are partial differential equations, which are best simulated as a sequence of matrix multiplications. That's my understanding anyway.

It's unpopular to talk about, but there is quantifiably more crime in some minority communities in the US.

There are some crimes, like drug use, that are indeed over-reported in some communities due to over-policing.

But there are other crimes, like homicide, that are nearly universally reported, regardless of where they are committed. And those crimes are much more frequent in minority-majority parts of the country.

Turning a blind eye to this problem is a disservice to those communities, because they are the same communities that are most commonly the victims of crimes.

This comparison would be accurate if a Toyota and a Ferrari were virtually identical, with the easiest way to tell them apart being that the Toyota was perfect and the Ferrari had imperfections in the interior because the leather was hand stitched. And if the hand stitching was historically done by slaves.

More broadly, if AI enforces the status quo, then it becomes an enemy of progress. Or rather, it risks becoming the last progress we make.

So far we aren't doing a very good job of coming up with ways to live in harmony with AI, instead of in an antagonistic relationship. We can do better than this.
In my particular case, I stuff it with dirt, but I make sure that it's sealed all the way, so I don't know that they know it's an improper case.
I've found the touchbar to be useful for only two things: 1) It's decent for things like volume control that need an analog slider, and 2) To give Pock a placed to live, so that there's actually some slightly above caveman task management on the Mac. There's NOTHING that the touchbar can do, though, that a real touchscreen can't do better. This entire stupid feature exists simply because Apple refuses to admit that touch screens are really useful - something you'd think they'd know after iPhones and iPads, but I heard an Apple employee making the ridiculously disproven"gorilla arm" claim as recently as last year. Apple just refuses to do what customers clearly want - the voice of Steve Jobs still controls them from the grave...

You seem to be trying to very politely slip in the claim here that some inherent difference between genders is why there are more men 'technologists', but that percentage varies wildly between different countries and companies.
Me too, and I’m sure so would Brave. But it’s not really possible with dollars.

Flattr tried it a while back where you could set aside 5 euro per month, or whatever, and they would distribute it to the stuff you liked the most. But the transaction fees were high for them and it was hard to do super small payouts.

This is a crypto case that makes sense. I’m not quite sure how they will keep an exchange rate with the dollar as the only thing you can buy with it is cash to content. So you can buy BAT from Brave.
GitHub has one of the better implementations of a separate mobile website.

- it's optimized for the smaller screen / touch interface

I'll probably continue to the website unless they stop development in favor of the app. What features do you really need an app for here? Or will this allow me to browse my repo offline?

Try and wrap your mind around the idea of an "unbiased" AI. It is not possible.

As a trainer of an AI, simply looking at a picture and saying that it's a cat, and then telling the AI that it's a cat, is biased. You are automatically assuming you are correctly identifying it as a cat, and teaching the mind of an AI to follow your presumption.

The only way to make an AI less biased (but still biased), is to diversify your labeled training data. And by diversify, you need to diversify the presumptions on the labels of the data themselves. What is the confidence among several people that this picture is of a cat? Rather than one trainer.

This is a simplistic example. If you scale it to more complicated tasks, such as understanding natural language, body language, intent of users, or anything related to ethics, you'll likely end up with a crazy AI. And yes, I mean crazy. As in, simultaneously holding very seemingly opposing understandings of reality and spitting out data that reflects those oppositions.

If you've ever had more than one authoritative figure in your life give you contradicting advice to another - one parent holding differing beliefs to another, or one teacher to another in school, you may notice yourself starting to qualify your teacher's competence as a factor in the fidelity of their teachings.

A scary, but simultaneously cool thought: An AI that questions my capacity to teach it, while I'm teaching it.

Bias will always remain an element in the equation however.

One AI will likely have interacted with different trainers or data, and create contradicting understandings of reality to that of another AI.
Very true. Which is also why I don't get why so many Dems are supporting this so enthusiastically. As much as I never thought I'd say this, Pelosi had the right idea for how to play this, politically, until she caved. She seems to be the one thinking more than 2-3 steps ahead.

But I also think you're giving them too much credit, because I really doubt they think they're going to suffer, politically. (The enthusiasts anyway, not those who supported Pelosi's slow play.)
> The biggest flaw in Helm is the decision to use text-templating for semantic data. This leads to ridiculous situations like having to specify the number of spaces to indent a block, so the output YAML can be parsed properly.

My mind was blown when I saw this the first time. Let's hope that the developers are planning on supporting alternate templating schemes.

There are still many places (classrooms, lecture theatres, meeting rooms) where the only way to drive the projector is VGA. Not because it's good, but because it's the lowest common denominator. In these places, when using VGA, the only audio input to the speakers is usually a 3.5mm jack. Remove the 3.5mm jack, and anyone who teaches or makes business presentations won't buy it.
That's easy to say.

> there is quantifiably more crime in some minority communities

Sure... and what about the chronic lead exposure issues in many of these areas, the effects of long-term overpolicing of minor crimes on family stability, and the impact of (lack of) generational wealth and education from being used as de facto or literal slaves for generations?

The 'minority' part here is a correlative factor, not a causative one.

> The rebranding I’ll never understand is Fujitsu -> Socionext.

I have to look it up... This is stupid. If I see a Fujitsu chip on a board, I know the brand and may find it interesting. But if I see a Socionext chip, I'll think it's some random U.S. startup from California.

I think there's a reason - Wikipedia says it's a joint venture of Fujitsu and Panasonic, so it makes sense for them to give it a new name, and it's common for these Japanese companies to choose a English name for global business (in the same way that NEC becomes Renesas due to the two reasons).

But what a terrible name!

As an individualist nation, there's little likelihood anyone will throw themselves away for the collective. Doubly so because the collective is super fucking thankless and turns everything it gets into garbage.

The only hope at this point is AI which will either save us or (hopefully) bring the great filter sooner (which means less suffering). But I no longer believe in protest.

Cars really depend on where you are. The US is huge, and it's not really possible to live in e.g. rural Texas without owning a car. Everything is miles and miles apart. On the flip side, New York has an efficient subway and few people own cars. But with the geography of America, it's simply not practical to have the same sort of public transport common in Europe.. the country is 3000 miles wide.
Totally agree. I recently moved away from Debian after using it and OpenBSD for various things both at home and work. After trying a few different distros I gave Slackware a try because I had used it years and years ago. I bought a book, think around 1995, that came with Slackware on a CDROM so it was my first experience with Linux.

I was pleasantly reminded how much Slackware still resembles BSD in how it configures things and it's emphasis on a minimal install that can be added to as needed. Other than new apps, a few improvements and, of course, updated hardware support Slackware has changed surprisingly little since I used it in 1995!
