This, very much.

There are projects where there are multiple sets of 'users' who don't necessarily overlap, and you'll find someone like this championing one set to the detriment of others.

This can be awkward to imagine in the context of internet apps where there's a 'product' and people use it, but in the context of business or government applications where the customer-facing product is not merely the frontend it can be very relevant.

If you're producing software which runs on each customer's own servers, as an independent system instance, the user-stakeholders include:

* The people using it in day-to-day tasks. These are the 'Users' an internet-based application usually considers.

* The ops guys looking after those servers, who have no other power over the software system itself (but will lose their weekends when eg. the vendor-documented backup procedure turns out to be incomplete).

* Other vendors, who probably have to integrate with the system
(and will curse the documentation or lack thereof).

* The customer's internal helpdesk fielding end-user queries about the system (frantically hunting through a content-free manual, if they're new to the job, or escalating without comment, if they're burned out).

* The Administration, who want reports on the behaviour and performance of the Users mentioned above (and often don't care
about usability as long as the reports are pretty).

* And many other groups, with entirely different concerns.

A great many of these articles seem to either champion only the 'User' and/or refer only to systems where all other parties are internal to the company building the software.

The world still relies heavily on a lot of systems which do not conform to the Cloud ideal. It is important for any 'product-minded software engineer' to remember that, sometimes, making eg. the Ops guys' job easier will make life better for All Of The Above, even more than chasing after that shiny report Admin wants.

Of course, if you are building in the Cloud, The Above are largely your coworkers and should make all of this known to you :P
>the expectation is a more standard corporate focus on making profits from its ventures in some defined timeline.

That's a reasonable prediction. It's the way Sundar started running Google anyway (demanding profits of the non-ads products or killing them).
Indeed, time is of the essence; playing tug-of-war with quality.
Our awake experience is also subjective. When we look at a car, we see how it slides on 4 wheels. A deeper look reveals that the wheels aren't sliding, but rolling. What we see in our mind is simplified models, while the objective reality is much more complex, messy and not comprehensible.
IDK specifically, but generally: parallelism is the way to get more compute despite limited GHz, and something like GPU architecture is a neater fit than general-purpose CPU architecture.

BTW the latest AMD GPU architecture (RDNA) is specific for gaming, in that they get around 40% better framerates for the same raw GFLOPS of their previous architecture (GNC).
He reads hackernews how much more success does one achieves?
Your anecdata doesn’t match up with current ketamine research. The protocol for depression is really different than using it for a party drug. Same for mdma for things like ptsd- it’s paired with therapy that helps you work through things. You’re right that just taking drugs isn’t enough, but please don’t discount medical treatment that changes the lives of many people.
I don’t know why you are being downvoted, what you said is entirely correct AND cuts through the confusion. People need to realize that there are different Polio vaccines and the original Salk vaccine has zero chance of infecting people with Polio.
The hot thing in Finland at the moment is the alliance project model. I'm not an experienced expert in the field so I cannot explain it to detail. The newspaper explanation is that the buyer (city council or similar) form a common organisation and share risks and costs. I must admit I was sceptical when it first came up and assumed that either they end up in quarrel or they will find common excuses for the 3-fold costs in the end. But so far I have been wrong. A road tunnel was completed about in time and only exceeding the budget by a relative small percentage (which they explained with added requirements during project lifetime). A tramway project is not complete yet, but so far there have heen only good news about the progress and budget, which is not typical for such a project.

This is the marketing explanation by the contractor: https://www.yitgroup.com/en/media/why-is-the-alliance-contra...

The live vaccine is not simply a “low budget version”, it’s more effective.
Amazon phone screens you by saying: "Get out a notebook and a pencil. Write down the code in C to flatten a binary tree into a sorted list, and then read it back to me over the phone."

>So...Do you think am I proselytizing or not?

I think you're using the word poorly as a way to describe behaviour you don't like.

>If that is true and the "self" does not exist, then why do you keep using this meaningless word "I" ?

'I' existed before the modern conception of self.

Argument

In logic and philosophy, an argument is a series of statements, called the premises or premisses, intended to determine the degree of truth of another statement, the conclusion.

I'm going to stop. This isn't going anywhere. The meat of your content is to just ask back at me what I'm giving you. I don't want to spend time on that marginal value anymore, 6-8 comments is enough.
I'm happy to report that the annoying text size issue is fixed in the new version of Elementary. However, the Firefox crashes still happen, and are the biggest issue with the system. I can't recommend it as long as it's still panicking every few days. (Firefox is not the only app, but certainly the most likely, for me to be using when it freezes; no, I haven't delved too far into this, nor have I made any strange modifications to the system.)

It works with the Wifi chip, speakers are too quiet (?), suspend/power is fine (yay!), graphics seem to work. Overall a very near miss.
The benefit of a portfolio for picking a designer is that most often the designer was the only designer on a project, therefore the design can be said to theirs, whereas programmers are seldomly the only programmer on a team and the portfolio can be unclear as to what they contributed.
Rubbing ‘medical’ on something doesn’t magically change how it works. And it’s pretty much impossible to take mdma and not engage in talk therapy. I had conversations that went from favorite djs to the time they were raped in middle school with complete strangers. And then you go out and dance. I don’t think a hospital is going to improve the situation much. It’s just a loophole people have to go through to make it socially acceptable.
The website has been removed from this website but it's still on the emd.txt list, hopefully it's just a cached leftover. Thanks again :)
That's the maximum error. The error is often much less than that (as the plot shows). Code might unintentionally be relying on the error being much smaller than the spec requires, and on another architecture, the instruction might not meet this (unintentional!) requirement.

Of course an issue stemming from something like this is rare/unlikely. But Intel also can't assume that the consequences for a related error are small.

It seems like most people commenting irately about this in this thread are hobbyists or are otherwise working on low consequence software. Yeah, for these uses, it would probably make sense for intel to just look at the CPUID and leave it at that. But they can't know that, and they aren't optimizing solely for these use cases.
The Blue Planet making of video showed that the Orcas filmed trying to knock the seals off the ice flow seemingly attempted the same "trick" on the humans on the small boat filming them. While it is remarkable that we don't seem to have evidence of orcas attacking humans, this making of video seemed to suggest to me that they were at least thinking about it.
I appreciated your honest opinion. I'm way too invested to move away, but I've often felt that things are getting overengineered, with the layers of complexity endlessly accumulating - real progress should be making things simpler.

That said, React Suspense looks like it's an improvement of a common pattern, simpler to write and understand. Perhaps it's achieved by pushing the complexity "down" into the library, instead of letting the user manage it every time.

My hope is that one day, all the lessons from React will be incorporated into browsers themselves, to clear the field for saner web development. Seeing how Web Components is going though, I'm not holding my breath..

I downvoted because it’s not correct to suggest that OPV is being used because it is a “low budget version”. In fact, both types of vaccines are being given to children in high-risk countries, as part of the transition away from the live vaccine.

In countries with endemic polio or where there is a high risk of imported cases, the WHO recommends OPV vaccine at birth followed by a primary series of 3 OPV and at least one IPV doses starting at 6 weeks of age.

Maybe human intelligence / IQ rest can be argued to be either incomplete or not a great measure of raw human intelligence, but you can’t seriously be saying all intelligence is made up and subjective. I think it’s pretty clear for example that humans are a bit more intelligent than a gold fish.
There are some other options. I use a pump (OmniPod) that is entirely attached to my body. There's a small plastic pod that's taped to the skin and operated wirelessly.

My chief complaint is that the FDA is overly restrictive. They force manufacturers to make the products expire earlier to head off concerns about them working less efficiently near the end of the cycle. Diabetes is a disease who's treatment is entirely about guesstimating but the FDA does not take that into account when approving devices.
Who is at fault when you drink yourself into a coma or fall out of a tree or smoke yourself into cancer?

It's ok to do those things but not try to care for yourself?
I completely disagree. Your plot doesn't show CPU instructions are unpredictable (which is not correct). Yes, IEEE floats are not the same as real numbers (which is what your plot is showing): they have inherent precision errors, and float operations are not even associative.

That being said, IEEE floats are carefully and consistently defined, and are perfect predictable. The unpredictability you claim is not due to stochastic errors or faulty implementation of CPU vendors, they're a part of the IEEE definition and are deterministic.
This is great. I love the idea of remote work. At the same time I am picky about my environment. I prefer to put my laptop on a clean surface and be able to work where it's quiet and beautiful. I am not sure that a café is that place for me, although I enjoy them a lot.
That's an easy one. We hold the same chain and the distance between us is 100 links. The chain has a curious property: its links subdivide like living cells and on average 1 link takes a minute to split into 2. Thus, every minute the distance between us doubles and half hour later we'll be 1 billion times further from each other. We can replace the chain with a net or even with a 3d net.

As if real property’s value to an individual is only money. My hovel may be priceless to me because of the memories within. This proposal ties an estimate of economic value with an obligation to sell which strikes me as immoral, a back-door to even more legal thievery. The idea is interesting and superficially attractive - it appears to be a clever and strong incentive to estimate more accurately - but ignores non monetary value and could easily be abused.
Strangely I've never had a single use for this, next and back have been fine. What use case do you have where this is critical?
I honestly think there’s a higher chance of Comcast killing 100 million people over the next century than “broadband for everyone”
Founders typically start out with majority >50% ownership, but over subsequent funding rounds and employee stock options have to slowly give up ownership %. How much they give up depends on their strength at the negotiating table every fundraising round. The better the company is doing the less they have to give up to close investment, and vice versa.

Information Asymmetry
I agree. It's a problem of the simple security rule that is good enough for now and a simple model for satellites, that is good enough for the next 200 years.

If they extend it to 1000 years they get a catastrophe, but the model is too simple. Let's imagine what model they had 1000 years ago (for carriages in roads, or sail boats, or something) and how applicable it is to the current world.
Long term use of ketamine can cause irreversible damage to the urinary tract. I'm not how well it's been studied, and I doubt it's known how much and use for how long causes this damage. It is best to be careful.

Minor point, the article doesn't specify whether the money was withdrawn or used.

That's the main problem with AMP. For any issue that AMP is the cause of the AMP team goes: "not our problem, ask the people who implement a specific feature".

Plausible deniability and all that.
Pretty much all aquatic species larger than the orca are relatively peaceful and do not harass other species (eg, baleen whales, sperm whales, whale sharks, basking sharks). It's not merely a size thing. Orcas, in fact, tend to harass these larger species.

Humpback whales will even go so far as to protect other mammals from orcas.

In the last 62 years, there have been 115 interactions recorded between humpback whales and killer whales, according to a study published in July in the journal Marine Mammal Science.

There are already several libraries that allow you to write React-like SPAs in the browser via WASM.

The two largest are Yew (Rust), Vugu (Vue-esque but with Go instead of JS), and Blazor (C#)

https://github.com/yewstack/yew

https://github.com/vugu/vugu

https://github.com/aspnet/Blazor

All are perfectly viable for production apps as of today and not much more difficult than writing React, given you have some familiarity with their implementation language.
“Let Us Prey”
I'm actually on wellbutrin, double that dose though, and have done dxm a few times. It's... Different. Very similar in dissociation, but ketamine dissociation for me I can actually go in with planned introspection in mind while I lose all sense of self and become one with whatever music I'm listening to, but dxm just makes me 'out of it', if that makes any sense.
But Pay is so common. You've got Google Pay, Apple Pay, AliPay, and WeChat Pay. It's a good addition because it adds something that was really missing from the ecosystem but it's just really something that is expected.
My relevant experience is in porting numerical code between CPUs and GPUs. Some of the issues that have caused problems are:
- Different precision of approximate math (transcendental functions, reciprocals, etc.)
- Different rounding behavior of the intermediate result in multiply-add instructions.
- Different handling of exception cases (inf, nan, etc.).
- Aside from correctness differences, some optimization strategies that make things faster on one processor make them slower on another. This happens even within different generations of x86 hardware.

> Which is why you don't see such artificial crippling in open source implementations of LAPACK/BLAS/sundials/etc

Are they as fast as MKL? If so, just use them?

If not, why not? Maybe the reason is you can do better if you optimize for specific CPUs, with different latencies of various instructions?

Wild-type polio could very well be gone by now if the CIA hadn’t burned Western doctors’ goodwill in Pakistan by using fake polio vaccines to take DNA from children suspected to be related to Osama bin Laden.

I find myself wondering what fraction of HN readers think of Edison as other than the person who, without shame in all the following,

(1) cheated Nikola Tesla,

(2) hired labworkers to steal neighborhood pets (dogs and cats) to practice electrocution during the war of currents, and

(3) had a circus elephant publically executed via electrocution for his own greedy business purposes.

Having read outside the hero worship sources kind of wrecked Edison for younger me, obviously.

Your story, juxtaposed against the grandparent complaint, suggests that your father was somehow challenging an ambient air of socialist ideology amongst academics. However, your father was head of the department, making the point somewhat incoherent. He just as easily could have been policing his juniors to try to suppress any views which he did not approve, and embarrassing them in front of their students as a power play.
Here's what was interesting for me, what their supply chain consists of now:

- NFC chip from NXP in the Netherlands

- Battery from Huizhou Desay Battery Co. in China

- Flash memory from Korea (Samsung) or Japan (Toshiba)

..and I was curious about the software side, still on Android with:

- Attempt at Huawei's own app ecosystem

- No Play Store, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, or any other Google service

- No Facebook (+ WhatsApp and Instagram), Netflix, Amazon, Twitter, Uber, Lyft, and "a million others"

If you had a writable control store then yes. But most processors these days don’t expose that API.
Its more complicated than this because certainly their gross margin in $ is higher on the tri motor. However this adds complexity.

Its power, its overloojed because it can be. If product people cant explain the right feature then they are bad at their job. We implement what you want as engineers. The c reason these jobs are separate is because the concerns are great of both. If you need an engineer to ask why , you have a product person that is bad or an engineer that is not focused.
Are you proposing brute forcing it? Depending on requirements that might be fine, but I doubt FB would like that kind of solution. If they did, they'd have a different kind of question.
Porting between different instruction sets is a very different thing from this situation.

> Aside from correctness differences, some optimization strategies that make things faster on one processor make them slower on another. This happens even within different generations of x86 hardware.

This is the one notably relevant part and, yeah, that's fine. Follow the CPUID features. Nobody expects it to be absolutely optimal on AMD. But let it use the code that was optimized for Intel chips with the same features.
