It's really annoying how AMD attempts to shamelessly mislead laptop buyers by giving the current desktop series name to last year's tech on mobile.

So Ryzen 3000 Mobile is actually Ryzen 2000 desktop CPU tech. Next year's Ryzen 4000 Mobile will be this year's Ryzen 3000 tech, and so on.

And in case this wasn't clear, it's not about expecting a 4.5 desktop-class base clock speed in laptops, I'm talking about the micro-architecture being a year old and being given the same name as the current-year architecture.

It's super-misleading to 99% of the people who don't read CPU news, and it's obviously done on purpose. AMD doesn't need to and shouldn't stoop to Intel's level.
This isn't about freestanding C++. There's very little in the C++ standard library that can cause exceptions. Off the top of my head, it's throwing new (which nobody relies on anyway because of Linux OOM behavior); stuff like vector::at() that you have to use explicitly; and iostreams that are so horrible in general that they're usually avoided altogether.
Glad to know the difference between me having money to survive and being jobless will be a typo.
We do get treated with dignity and respect. In my FC I have never felt like i wasnt. I have great relationships with all my associates. I feel like some many news articles go for negative attention and Amazon is an easy target for people to report on and get lots of attention.
If you have cycles in your graph, you can build a tree out of a vector of indices, or as a table of parent/child node keys. The former is what John Scholes does[1], and the latter has plenty of common SQL examples.

If you have a non-cyclic tree (e.g. a 256-trie) you can nest it directly: @/ will traverse to nodes, and COW keeps updates from trashing memory too much.

However trees are rarely the best data structure: Binary search on a sorted list can beat b-trees simply because the end of the search will already be in cache, so for a routing table of IP address ranges, I use something like:

ipStart where ipStart bin x
The functional solution would be to parse the line in one .map statement and apply the formula in the next, not doing both in the same. Then you get more options for handling errors, like filtering between the map statements or bubbling them from there.

Maybe in Australia... but here torrenting has never been slow and wasn't particularly inconvenient when Netflix first came out.
Pointing out the individual highlights those upstream.

Exactly. Look at Experian. Attempted to blame an individual engineer for not applying a patch, then the next thing they know, the entire world is asking, why is your CISO a music major?

Because the money it doesn't throw away for nothing more than covers the expense.

Sales aren't some abstract thing that can't be quantified.

Site gets no traffic -> Spend $X on google or facebook pointing traffic to site -> Y Amount of traffic -> $Z amount of sales.

You now know how much revenue $X worth of ads buys you. You also know how much each amount of revenue is worth to you in profit. As long as spending that $X makes profit, you're gonna do it. No matter what crap is mixed in by the ad company.

If something you want is bundled with something you don't want and is priced such that you're willing to buy the thing you want at that price, you don't turn it down. You buy it and ignore the thing you don't want.
If you think a platform is responsible for what their developers do with it, then I understand. However, Kape was never directly involved in adware other than providing SDKs that let developers create positive and negative things.

To say Kape was involved in adware would be akin to saying the Wright Bros killed millions of people - because they made planes which people used to kill people (which is simply untrue). Even the original article notes this ever so briefly so as not to show Kape positively.

Thank you for your trust until now, and given the long track record and relationship, I hope you can verify my statements as well.

Our future work will always be the same work we have been doing, so whether now or later, I'm confident we will re-earn your trust again, and hope you'll give us the opportunity.
My bet: They will run out of money. I mean it's tax payer's money, so they can't really run out of it. But it will be cancelled before the prototype phase, because it goes horribly overbudget.
An extremely opinionated tiny module for executing Bash commands from Node

You cannot judge the web as a group. To say "the web is even more deeply co-opted" you put forth a notion that has no useful meaning. The web is made up of everybody. So you should expect every kind of information, mostly unprofessional, mostly off the cuff and less researched. Some manipulative propaganda. Some conspiracy theories. And you should also expect some brilliant stuff out there as well.

OTOH, you might expect the corporate media to also come from broadly different perspectives. Yet the corporate media output is strangely uniform in their bias, narrative and messaging ("The walls are closing in!... this marks the beginning of the end!") The appearance of Fox news made this blatently obvious, and was an utter shock to the left to see how deep the chasm was between typical right wing thinking and their own thinking. The fact that corporate media is so uniform in their viewpoint (other than fox) raises the hackles of skeptical folk like myself, and has for me been impossible to ignore since the mid 1980s. I'm not calling it a conspiracy, I'm calling it uniform enough that you shouldn't consider a story more likely true just because you heard it from multiple corporate media sources. For one: they cheat off of each other.

You don't have to look far to see how the news media is co-opted by political agenda. NYT Dean Baquet was caught on tape instructing his journalism team that for the next period, stories were all to be about racism and how Trump is responsible for racism. Slate broke that story. The next day I can't remember the exact headline but I think it was on budget cuts or something and they managed to blame it on Racism and the racism they blamed on Trump. It was laugh out loud funny -- how could budget cuts be due to racism? It was very sad.

On any given day, in any newspaper, I can point out the manipulative nation-damaging bias clear as day.

ObExample: Today, New York Times: "How a Divided Left is Losing the Battle on Abortion." This story fails to mention the most important context, context that they have repeatedly failed to mention for so long that most people are unaware of it: Abortion is not a federal issue. The 10th amendment explicitly lays out what the Federal government is allowed to do. The 1973 Roe vs Wade decision was atrocious in that it utterly overstepped the federal government's constitutional bounds. That decision is a null and void opinion of an institution that has no jurisdiction over the matter. Regardless of what you feel about abortion law (personally I think us men should leave it up to the women, but if pressed I'd be happy with a 20 week cutoff), the collapse of the fundemental underpinnings of the United States is a much bigger story, rarely if ever mentioned by corporate media. Instead they evoke images of coat hangers to get you all emotional, frame it as a human "reproductive" right to make you indignant, and use other framing tactics which speak to and draw people into the left's vision.

CLARIFICATION: I randomly picked a story. I can do that with any story, because they are all like that.

I honestly want to agree with HN on this, but then Im reminded of the constant support for Apple on here, despite the fact that they have violated user trust on numerous occasions, while PIA has not.

So I did some checking:

* Teddy Sagi is a entrepreneur. To say that he is an ex spy is a gross misstatement. Yes, he worked as a developer in Israeli SIGINT program - so do a lot of developers who work for any number of government contractors in US with security clearances working in SIGINT. Does that make them all spies? If you wanna believe in the conspiracy that all the Unit 8200 graduates who have gone on to found Silicon Valley Companies are still state sponsored, then man, you gotta start boycotting all your popular software (and some hardware), cause Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, and Facebook all have a hand in buying these startups.

* Crossmark, the company that Kape originaly was, had malware which is the equivalent of ad supported app on your mobile device - it was bundled with some software (much like Oracle used to bundle Adware with the Java installer), and injected browser traffic, while sending user information back, perhaps for better targeting This is a far cry from actual nefarious malware. Bad? Yes.

* Kape technologies is under the lead of a new CEO that was responsible for transforming the company away from Crossrider towards cybersecurity. Again, if you want to believe in a conspiracy theory, that is your choice.

* All other Teddys ventures since Kape are in the advertising space. There is a concern that can be made that perhaps advertising is going to sneak in to PIA, but lets cross that bridge if it actually happens.

TLDR, pretty much the expected overblown response, which is sadly becoming the standard for HN. By all means, vote with your wallet, but try to keep your voting consistent. Personally, given the web of investors and ownership that surrounds modern tech companies, I do not see any glaring red flags here.
Like Vitaly Kaloyev? And then you'd come at their door to chat about life and death, with a knife in a pocket.
AWS DeepComposer – Compose Music with Generative Machine Learning Models
In the past I have highly recommended your VPN, but I can no longer. In your TOS you have the line.

> Client understands that the present Terms of Service are subject to changes made by PrivateInternetAccess at any time at its sole discretion, and you agree to be bound by any and all modifications, changes and/or revisions. You understand that it is your obligation to periodically review this webpage in order to account for any changes made, as they will be binding upon assent.

Such a line does not build trust, especially given Kape's history. Do you honestly expect us to constantly review the TOS? We're also not lawyers. There's no line that even suggests PIA will even attempt to inform subscribers (at least those you have emails for or through a blog post) of TOS or privacy changes.

You say

> We don't want people to be stuck with having to blindly believe in and trust us like other VPNs.

> Don't trust. Verify.

How do we trust? How do we verify?
Ignoring defining what "true hacking" is defined as, I'm struggling to pinpoint exactly what has been lost here. Many new things have come into existence, but this feels like a list of laments against the direction technology grew, not something lost. Plenty of people are still tinkerers focused on making small personal projects, and if anything its highest concentration is here on HN. That doesn't mean all of the other things in the tech world are inherently lacking in value though. When focusing on technology why focus on "hacking", a somewhat odd and specific use case as defined here?
Fb and more...
> 1. I have no idea why "hacking" aka "going fast and breaking things" is so glorified while "building good reliable programs" aka "good programming" is not.

The way I see it, `going fast and breaking things' is an iterative process. IMHO, it should not be viewed as `go fast, break things and _never_ iterate to fix things'.

Just thought I'd toss my two cents on it.

> 2. How come that someone thinks of himself/herself that he/she has the right to say who is a hacker and who is not.

No idea why you feel binary. If you like to call yourself a hacker - fuck it - go for it.

The connotation in the beginning were that hackers were pioneers, thinkers, achievers and great motivators. Over time, the meaning has been mutated and engineered by the media to mean `malicious' and `conniving' thieves/criminals.

To this day, I still stick to the original definition of a `hacker'. I don't give a two fuck about what the media likes to call it.

The problem isn't the unexpected behavior, it's needing "clever workarounds" to fix it.

And they don't even have a workaround for the GC assist being way too aggressive, they're just sucking it up and letting the latency exist.
I've been trying to cancel/shorten my year subscription since this came out. This + hiring Mark Karpeles as CTO are a solid guarantee that my data isn't safe.

Ask HN: How would you rapidly learn a foreign language?
I have recently rekindled a desire to learn a language. So far the most effective thing I have found is using Anki(spaced repetition app) and watching foreign movies on Netflix.

I am curious how you would go about learning a foreign language when in-person immersion isn’t an option.

THANK YOU!!!! Why is it only the negative articles from former employees get attention? There is never any effort put into talking to someone who is currently employed with Amazon and likes their job. In any other circumstance a "former" employees story would be viewed as potentially biased, but if Amazon is mentioned it becomes gospel. It IS hard manual labor and not everyone is cut out for that...but just because you can't hack it doesn't make it evil. Yes, I thought I was going to die the first few weeks, but now that my body had grown accustomed to it I truly enjoy it and they are paying ME to work out as opposed to needing a gym membership. I am in control of my own success, I'm not responsible for anyone but me. If I work hard and someone else is slacking it reflects on them. In my previous working life I was in the dental field. People were treated the same whether or not they worked at 110% or just showed up for a check. The more and more I did the more and more that was expected of me with no additional compensation. I left stressed and dreaded going to work ALL THE TIME!! I leave Amazon at the door when I walk out and I have never dreaded going into work. I've made great friends who ALSO enjoy their jobs. I'm a very social person and yes sometimes 3 1/4 hours alone in my head on a station can make me crazy, but most of the time the it flies by. The furthest I've been from a restroom is a 4 minute walk which I can take whenever I want. My biggest complaint...no music which leaves me singing in my head usually based on whatever item I've just picked, too often that’s Baby Shark. I disagree that music is a safety hazard, but music IS being piloted at other facilities and I'm good with knowing it's coming, that's progress. Twice the minimum wage and a killer benefit package with better coverage than I've ever had. College paid for at 90% should I elect to finish my degree. At this point in my life I would NEVER put myself first and do that without the Career Choice program. And as far as the Menudo comment…I’m a 58 year old grandma so there’s that!!
That unit is part of the Israeli army, and Israel has conscription so inevitably a lot of people will end up there. Should none of them be trustworthy?
Wouldn't it be more fair, possibly if we divided each state into 6 roughly equal districts by population and made each district have it's own senator? This would still give each state equal representation but it would diversify the voices by making each senator cover a smaller area, and each would have less constituents to answer to, and presumably could listen to those in their area more and deliver on what they value as priorities.
Intel bet everything on 10nm. If it had paid off they wouldn't be behind. Unfortunately for them they did. Double unfortunately AMD has done a great job on their designs after learning some painful lessons from Bulldozer. Triple unfortunately AMD contracted TSMC for this arch and TSMC has been killing it on 7nm (roughly equivalent to Intel's 10nm node).
>The merger between Kape and PIA affords PIA the resources needed to bring privacy to the mainstream.

You were one of the most, if not the most successful VPN provider for years. Did you really need more resources? For what?

The main benefit of PIA is the expectation for extra privacy. No matter how you look at it, selling to Kape is a strong signal that's not a priority. Similar, for hiring Karpeles to do your security (like he hasnt lost us enough already).
Also impractical due to I^2R losses.
If you're talking about the Management Engine, doesn't AMD have basically the same thing just called PSP?
Exacting revenge on people who make mistakes is the wrong way to improve safety. Even the best people make mistakes. Fixing the process is how safety is improved.

All revenge does is halt progress on new technology, and cause all involved to cover up problems rather than expose and fix them.
Well, they are testing a fusion reactor next year, the HL-2M:

I don't use wordpress/yoast so am probably wrong. But I don't think splashscreens on shareware is 'ugly', I think it's fair enough. In some instances - such as Sublime Text - I am amazed at how discreet it is.
I don't think its lost meaning as much as it has a completely different meaning than it used to. It seems pretty common when something goes mainstream, as computing has, for original definitions to be tossed aside while the terms get re-appropriated by/for a more mainstream audience.

This happens all the time in other parts of culture whether music, fashion or whatever. So I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that it's happened in tech too. Doesn't mean one needs to like it, just accept it for what it is.
Everyone was saying "yes" to fission 40 years ago. It was not until Chernobyl that global backlash against nuclear really started.

The pace wasn't however particularly impressive back then already as technology, safety and waste management limitations became clear.
Americans may have cable, but to what extent? It is cheaper for me to get Internet with basic cable—over-the-air channels—than without. My cable boxes have sat in a closet for the past six years. I stream most content I watch.

The new Thinkpad E595 looks decentish and ships with Ryzen, as opposed to the previous model (E590) which shipped with Intel.
I agree, though I also think it is hard not to be political when you start seeing things through the lens of special vs common causes. So much of the rhetoric in politics surrounds taking a common cause produced by a system working as designed and treating it as a special cause to rally people behind. To the long-term detriment of society, in part because the adjustments promised frequently ruin the system that actually worked fairly well, and because trillions is earmarked for chasing ghosts getting nowhere.
RCS Messaging Standard adoption may suffer due to several factors
The be honest, American companies never had a monopoly in any of the parts needed to build a commercially viable phone. Unlike say in the PC world, where the dominant OS/Software stack has an almost impenetrable reliance on x86, phones were mostly ARM based (in an attempt to prevent Intel's chokehold). And communication standards require FRAND patent grants allowing anyone to build for the spec.

That said, even as recently as a decade back, China was routinely written off as a cheap imitation of US/Japan/Korea in the electronics industry, Huawei & friends have proven otherwise. Their flagships are on par with the Apples and Samsungs, and even lead them on velocity of feature releases, especially hardware
It can, but it's not like having some special rule fixes all confusion. Mostly confusion is solved by having some larger context, not by nitpicky rules.

You could do like in German and force everyone to capitalise nouns. I'm sure there are German grammar pedants who have some reason why that's a good idea, too.

Or clarify that a sentence is a question by making everyone do the upside down "?" sign to wrap the question inside of, like Spanish.
Are people exaggerating? Sure.

But is there more reason to think that their data isn't safe with PIA now than before the merger? Definitely.

A similar question is why are some Turing machines universal and some aren't? Or, more generally, why can you prove some Turing machines halt on all inputs and for some you cannot?

I think what you mean by "encoding" is what I mean by "being able to write an interpreter." It's not hard to encode mathematical statements as real numbers in the axioms of a real closed field, which someone outside the theory is easily able to decode. However, the fact the theory is complete implies there is no way to write an interpreter within the theory.

There are other kinds of interpreters you might be interested in. For example, one that determines absolute truth of a statement, that is, the truth of the statement in the "Platonic universe," whether or not it is provable. You can still apply the usual kind of argument, if such an interpreter existed, to generate a sentence that is true iff it is false.

I imagine a heuristic sort of issue is that to write such an interpreter you need to be able to encode environments (like in a Scheme interpreter), but the set of possible environments is too big in a Russell's paradox sort of way. In model theory, they call such a function, when restricted to a particular model, a truth term.

> expressive enough to encode itself via Gödel numbering -- and hence construct "the Gödel sentence". Once you have the Gödel sentence, the consequences re: diagonalization [...] are readily understood

I don't really understand you here: a diagonalization/Lawvere-like argument is how the Gödel sentence is constructed in the first place.
