Have there been any published benchmarks of relevant datacenter workloads on this CPU? I certainly haven’t seen any. The previous generation EPYC was really slow on branchy code, despite looking ok on ffmpeg benchmarks and the like.
The contract part is probably poor wording on my part. The contract is between the government at the public in that there is no such thing as a natural protections against copying. So the government enforces an artificial period of time of sole ownership of something that otherwise cannot be owned.

Single mom was sued for millions of dollars years ago because she put 40 songs (or some low number) on the Mule/Donkey file sharing network. She lost in court. If a multinational corporation got nailed for the same, they would have either made a deal, settled for a portion or just paid the loss. She could have stolen (theft) 40 cds from a store and the fines/punishment would have been miniscule.

The percentage of income to punishment ratio is a travesty of justice. The imbalance is in the sheer overwhelming destruction of the law's punishments on those that infringe that are not rich and powerful.

Consider the photographers that had their photos "copied" by Getty and used internationally. Or Facebook using a photographers photo without any compensation. What happened to Facebook and Getty? Nothing, (maybe some bad press?) because individuals can't afford to defend their copyrights.

Edit: I am glad you looked into this, it's worth a deeper study at least once in a person's life.
> What happens if ownership of an image is disputed, or it turns out the photog uploaded a photo that she had copied off the web?

Presumably the purchaser sues the photographer.

One thing that marketplace could do is to require a bond from any photographers that would be used to help pay for any judgements.

That is indeed an issue with advertising, but it's not the same issue as with most other ads; at least not the one most people object to, which is the privacy and security violations of comprehensive tracking of personal information delivered via exploitable, executable code.

I'm a big OpenBSD fan, but the OpenBSD devs recommend you install Xenocara, otherwise its considered a non-default install.
So... are they gonna update the OpenBSD webpage to say "only three remote vulnerabilities in a heck of a long time?" Do these bugs represent a vulnerability to real systems deployed in the wild, or are they more of a theoretical threat?

I’m confused as hell to be honest. A few years ago they said there was a global warming pause.[1]. They seemed so sure it was happening that Nature devoted a whole issue to it.

Then they came back and said “actually it never happened”.[2]

Shouldn’t it be pretty straightforward to tell whether there was warming or not?

There are plenty of examples of inifinities that are not problematic. Infinitely small wavelengths make our current understanding of physics break down, indeed. Or maybe infinitely divisible solids that lead to paradoxes like Banach-Tarski's. On the other hand, infinitely dimensional configuration spaces or continuous parameterization (e.g. coordinates, field strengths, phases) are trivial unoffensive parts of classical and quantum mechanics.
Thanks for the detailed response. I'm not convinced by the natural law argument because everything, including property law, falls apart if you look at it that way.

I hadn't learned about either story, though, and your point that multinationals just negotiate it away is something I hadn't thought through.
Remove Getty Images and you’d have all sorts of comments about antitrust.
I hope so. Building for acquisition strikes me as studying for the exam.

Resources may be better spent checking the boxes of a potential acquirer instead of working on real problems except if and when they intersect. Like valuing people with acquisition experience from the other side more than the producers of tech or solving a real problem.

> A lot of this article reminded me of the techniques used by climate change deniers to sow doubt.

And a lot of climate change advocates' technique reminds me of the religious zealots of the past. Even down to the ad hominems like "Christ denier"/"climate change denier".

Firstly, I don't believe climate change is a matter of "belief". No such thing as a "climate change denier". Climate change is an intrinsic part of nature. It always exists.

> Doesn't it smack of "the science is not in yet" argument used by climate change deniers?

But the "science is not yet in". That's why there is so much debate, even within the "climate change" advocacy group.

If climate change was a developed science and we understood climate change adequately, we wouldn't have so many climate change models. We would have ONE.

On the one hand, climate change advocates claim that the climate is too complex that we can't have a predictive model yet. And yet, climate change advocates also claim that their own personal view is gospel and everyone else who doesn't agree are heretics.
> Also, if you think the cost is unreasonable, I completely disagree.

The market sets the price. I don't really have a problem with that.

> It seems that wedding photographers keep the copyright so that they can reproduce them for self-promotion and advertising, which totally makes sense.

I understand the rationale. That doesn't make it any less absurd.

If I'm a freelance journalist I don't get to keep the copyright so I can do self-promotion. If I'm a freelance web designer I don't get to keep the copyright so I can do self-promotion.

If a photographer wants a portfolio to show potential clients, they can do what everyone else does: make a portfolio on their own time.
Probably because meaningless platitudes sound better than "the last company like this was sold for $20MM and we think we can duplicate that success for $10MM."

OP here:

If you are already skipping the ads with the skip-forward button in your favorite app, you will love AdSkipPro. I use it every day driving back and forth to work, and I think it's great.

If you don't skip the ads, and you enjoy listening to them, you will of course continue to do so using your favorite podcast app. AdSkipPro will not be for you.

I don't think there will be any net difference to advertisers and the podcasting community. Those that skip will continue to skip, and those that don't won't.

$1000 for a display is still prohibitively expensive for most people. I broke my TV recently and I picked up a $300 43" 4K LCD TV. I consider myself a display buff but I couldn't find $1000 in my budget for a TV.

The panels will get cheaper, but the links will start to become seriously cost prohibitive. If you want 10 bpc 4K240 you're looking at 60 Gbps. I'm curious when the consumer optical renaissance will hit. 2030?

But taxing capital is not possible and probably a bad idea. This will require you to list everything you own to the government who will then evaluate the worth of it. I really can't think of much else that's a worse violation of privacy. It will also make owning something expensive a bad idea, because you'll have to pay to own it. In fact, can you even say that you own it at that point? Aren't you basically renting it from the government instead? Thinking more about it, I'm surprised that totalitarian systems didn't have a wealth tax.
Climate activists have made the much more subtle point that it is unjust to expect nations which have never industrialized not to industrialize so that rich industrial nations can run their air conditioners with the doors open and their SUVs idling.

Amazon can afford to go all-in on building their own chips, with a solid goal of moving (almost?) all their AWS services over to them (I would bet good money that will become a requirement for services). They're also more forward thinking and experimental than most companies are, or can afford to be. The x86 is the "no one ever got fired for buying IBM" of CPUs.

This promises to be quite interesting. If Amazon can prove ARM as viable on their scale, that'll help companies like Qualcomm who were struggling to drum up attention from the more traditional markets.

“Considered Harmful” Essays Considered Harmful
This seems disingenuous to me. If your concern is the influence of money in politics, address that issue directly. Get rid of PACs, or give a total annual cap in per-person political donations, or move to publicly funded elections, or quadruple the number of House seats so that canvasing for votes is a legitimate strategy for poor candidates.

Redistributing wealth to enhance the relative political voice of the poor is an absurdly tangential 'solution' to the stated issue.
Just to be clear why this whole conversation thread is a TypeError, let's say I assign a probability of 99.9% to the hypothesis that the state space of the universe is finite, and 0.1% to the state space of the universe being infinite...

Some time ago, I got curious about the sources of data in the period where humans were measuring temperature using thermometers. When we talk about predictions from fifty years ago matching today (also I read the linked article and I didn't really see proof that a model that was specified at that time being explicitly benchmarked), it matters how the distribution of sources of surface temperature data varied since then.

I haven't been motivated enough to do another one of these animations, but this video[1] shows locations of all temperature stations in GHCNv3[2] (I see that GHCNv4[3] is out). Notice how where humans measure temperature depends so much on what living conditions humans seek or find acceptable. I find this visualization interesting in terms of the number of modeling questions it poses. If you are interested, it shouldn't take much to replicate something similar with current hardware/software.

As another note, it makes little sense to say model predictions are not statistically significantly different from each other. What is the population from which these models are being drawn? What is the measure of variability among models? The article[4] is behind a paywall, so I can't see what they did.

It's exactly what it did. How about this. If a "anticlimatemag" opposed to the climate change agenda had an article titled "Even 50-year-old climate models were wrong about global warming", would you be defending it as vigorously?
> We live in a world where patents can be extended almost endlessly.

Why do you say that? Twenty years from filing and everything in your patent is now available for anyone to use.

You've decided upon a very broad and likely impossible to solve problem, whereas I'm focused on a narrower problem.

There is relatively little incentive to just "be evil". But much more incentive for certain specific intents that are evil, and so if we can make those trickier we get most of the benefit without solving the impossible problem.

This happens elsewhere in society. We put a bunch of effort into deterring car theft, but crooks could also steal mailboxes, or shrubs from your garden, or garbage. They mostly don't though because there's no incentive - in your city chances are you can find somebody who'll take a stolen car off your hands for cash, but good luck finding anybody who can pay you for a dozen stolen rose bushes.

Likewise I doubt that there's a healthy market for "Sometimes you might with no prior notice get to SSH into a target machine". Even the raw SSH private keys being stolen here are a pretty niche product, I think the actual authentication privilege itself, rather than the raw keys, is so much harder to exploit profitably that it won't sell.

That doesn't mean nobody would do this, but it makes it into a targeted attack. Think "organised gang break into one family home to kidnap a bank manager as part of a scheme to get into the vault" not "burglars break into homes across the city to steal jewellery". We don't fix the problem, but we do greatly mitigate the impact on most of the population.

Would you please stop using HN primarily for political and ideological battle? It's not what this site is for, and we ban accounts that do it.

This whole thread is a wretched tire fire filled with people torching the site guidelines on both sides of the war, and reading it makes me wonder why we even bother. Still, crossing the 'primarily' line is an important distinction and your account stands out as doing that. That means you're continually undermining this site for its intended purpose, which is intellectual curiosity, not political battle.

The shared advantages are strong typing and compilation, C# code and constructs, Nuget ecosystem, and shared classes and logic between frontend/backend.

Client-side currently suffers from large download size and startup time (since the wasm .net runtime still interprets all the DLL files) on every run. It's still in preview so expect this to get better eventually. Client-side also still requires HTTP calls to the backend (since that's the only thing available in the browser) but you can use the `HttpClient` with all the shared classes and included JSON facilities instead of maintaining a separate version in JS.

Server-side means all the components run on the server, with updates and interactions run over SignalR websocket connection. This is best suited for internal apps, enterprise SaaS or other highly-interactive apps that would need a real-time connection anyway. The fact that all the UI logic runs on the server means you save a tremendous amount of effort by skipping all the view models, serialization, http calls, and everything else that's necessary. You can have database calls right in your component. This makes complex interactions incredibly easy. If you fit this scenario, Blazor is an fantastic tool compared to what we had before.

Also it's important to note that you don't need the whole app to be in Blazor. You can easily use MVC or Razor pages and just include an interactive component somewhere on the page. We use this for a normal server-rendered site that has some pages that require complex logic and just have that part powered by Blazor server-side as well. It's seamless and even supports server-prerendering so the first-load of the page is fully composed before the real-time connection starts up and takes over the state.

Google knows load performance is a critical user need from the ample data they collect from Google search users, they've talked about this before. I forget the exact number, but every 100ms less load time drives significantly more traffic and engagement. I have no idea what data you're looking at that implies 5s load times are not a problem. I, for one, am overjoyed the Google is tackling this problem and succeeding at it.

Google has applied performance penalties to sites before and it still does. It's not enough, and there are limits to the penalties they can apply because these websites are ultimately very useful and relevant, it would worsen search quality to derank useful but bloated websites. The carousel is a good balance of incentive and penalty.
