Yes, you could build a CPU from a number of MSI chips. But what kind of clock frequency would you get from that kind of a setup? One chip gave you much better performance. A multi-chip CPU would be a toy; a one-chip CPU could do real work (by the standards of the time).
If you have an open source codebase you use for other projects or for personal reasons, usually you'll notice some rough edges that you want to see fixed. I have found that diving into the code around those issues is a good way to get started.

A few questions, as I don't know AWS much beyond basic VMs.

- Is all this easy to do following their docs, are we talking 1 h setup or 1 day?

- Cost: how much are we talking per week/month? (assuming no traffic but yours)
Not sure why is this such a big deal.

I can imagine that US will also disconnect itself if hostile access to critical infrastructure is at stake.

I think it has much more to do with the fact that there isn't a really great desktop UI framework for Java. Electron is a slow memory hog and people tolerate that fine.

> Journos think they have everything all figured out before they even investigate.

Matt Taibbi didn't have a story before he began investigating the financial sector corruption leading up to and following the 2008 crash.

Jeremy Scahill didn't know the details of the Gardez massacre until he got a contact to actually drive him to the scene. (An act so dangerous I believe he called "incredibly stupid" in his documentary "Dirty Wars.")

I have no idea what David Barstow thought he had figured out when he wrote the Pulitzer-winning "Pentagon Pundits" story for NYT. But the evidence he uses in the story clearly backs up the meat of his claims, and a GAO report corroborates it. So why would it even matter in this case?

For Seymour Hersh's Abu Graib abuse story his pre-conceived notions are similarly irrelevant due to the photographic evidence.

Ronan Farrow's preconceived notions about the Harvey Weinstein case are similarly irrelevant.

Hell, consider the leaker to Project Veritas who somehow got the footage of Amy Robach talking about ABC shelving her story on Epstein. What's the relevance of Project Veritas' goal or political bent given that was a genuine video of Robach passionately discussing the shelved story?

> I'll just say if you notice how dumb journos are when they cover subject matter you're a unrelated professional in, being the "who" in receiving end of news coverage lets you see just how much they want to draw conclusions for the rest of the world unless you work on visibility to counter their obvious narrative angles.

But for the most impactful ones it's almost certainly not the same "dumb journo" from your area of expertise writing the story. Given that newspapers hire writers with as varied talents as Barstow and, say, Thomas Friedman, your shortcut seems quite likely to lead to a flurry of "dumb journo" false positives.
Great reply. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

I wrote something very similar many years ago. I described it as a reverse search index. The queries/regex gets indexed into a search tree and then text is run thru it. It supported hundreds of thousands of parallel regex searches. I called it dClass:

> They use the heat from the exhaust gases to power the device, the calculations are in the paper.

Wouldn't this effect the efficiency of catalytic converters? As I understand it, those need to be hot to work well. Or is the heat taken out of the exhaust after it passes through the cat? Skimming through the paper, I don't see mention of this.

Maybe it would make sense to shrink the engine's radiator and use some of the engine heat instead of exhaust heat.
On average.

In cases where it is not, and it matters, you probably are not programming it in Java or Go.
You can buy accounts on the /r/BitMarket subreddit.

That arguably != "cannot". But you can get close by using Tor via nested VPNs to access Reddit. And by paying with some suitably anonymous cryptocurrency. Maybe well-mixed Bitcoin. Or some Etherium flavor, perhaps exchanged to Bitcoin.

Alternatively, some virtual SMS sites may still work for Twitter. Or there are sites where you can lease actual hosted SIM cards.
"Who among us couldn't guess what the NYT's take is going to be in a mormon leader's obituary before they write it?"

A "religious leader" is a criminal fraudster who tells lies for money. It sounds like the Mormon guy got off lightly with the Times obituary, as it didn't point out he was a criminal. I imagine that was what the journalists, and any other sane person, would really think of this "religious leader". But the journalists would be too afraid of the backlash from the believers and of the power of the church built from their ongoing extremely successful and efficient criminal fraud.
The obituary should have listed how much money this "religious leader" made, how big a house he lived in, and what car he drove; and also what crazy nonsense he told to gullible people to get this lifestyle. That is the true essence of the guy's life, so this is what should have been included in he obituary.

Sure, but show me someone who's sub 5 without exquisite running technique.

Rock climbing and skiing are arguably less of skill sports than something like surfing. There's a continuum, so I guess they're _all_ "partly" skill sports.

It's not intuitive because everybody can "run", but the deeper you get into that world, the more there is to understand.
Years ago I got the chance to try and operate a friction crane during some down time. I was just a laborer on college break but we were waiting on another large machine to do its work so the crane operator told me to come up and he showed me the basics.

I learned a completely new respect for what he was doing when I gave him signals. Good operators are amazing, the not so good ones are terrifying.

China:naive boy
I gave up and moved entirely to using the lockers when I order from amazon now. Curiously they still managed to lose a package between the last distribution center and their locker.

But larger scale it made me doubt if their model of Uber style contract workers doing just in time delivery with incredibly tight deadlines can ever work. For the speed they promise at their scale I don't see how they'll get around hiring more workers, giving more reasonable workloads, and providing incentives to actual get the job done right instead of lying to try and meet their numbers.
My reading of the tweets was that whomever was flagging the "typos" wasn't flagging actual typos, rather, that they were flagging words intentionally spelled the way they were to convey some regional dialect. Sometimes, things are spelled in a certain manner that is non-standard to convey an accent or mannerism of a character in a fictional work.

> "It’s super not helpful, particularly when the issue is vernacular English."

> THAT WASN'T EVEN A TYPO, PERSON, YOU GOT CONFUSED ABOUT THE SPEAKER

It would have been nice if the tweet poster would have made this abundantly clear, but alas. But a "typo" to me implies a mistake, and it's not clear to me if the flagger is flagging mistakes, or something that was intentional for the purposes of storytelling.
I wholeheartedly feel that advertisements forced on you in public are a type of violence

Prop 8 is perhaps the prime example of how it affects those outside the church. The LDS church was the main financial contributor to the yes on prop 8 campaign.
Sure. But activating such phones typically requires a telephone call. Or at least, it did the last time I tried it. And pay phones are now rare in the US.

Also, even if the phone is totally anonymous, you'll be geo-located as soon as you use it. By cell towers at least, and perhaps by WiFi and GPS.
I agree.

I have frequently had packages marked as delivered that were not delivered. When I contacted Amazon they would say if it does not show up in a day or two contact us again and they would also give me a $5 gift card. The package would always show up just like they said. It's pretty obvious that the drivers are lying about the delivery (due to aggressive quotas, I assume) and it's obvious that Amazon is aware of the problem because they have a pat answer when you contact them.

I have also had many packages marked as undeliverable for any number of completely made up reason. Reasons such as: no access code (not a gated community, no access code required), nobody in the office to receive the package (it's a condo, not apartments, there is no office), no safe place to leave the package (there is a six foot privacy fence around the front porch), could not find the address (receive multiple packages a week without issue), etc. These packages would always show up the next day proving these were completely fabricated excuses.
Indeed, Java is more productive, if you count lines of code produced per day, which is always easier than counting actually useful features produced.

"The context of enterprise software development" has to be the euphemism of the century.
Yes, for example, Amazon and Microsoft have replicated the service in Seattle. Austin employers like Cirrus Logic run shuttles.

I only bring it up because the original article is explicitly about how an employer can encourage employees to stop driving to work.
Expecting "journalism" to ever mean something noble or impartial is likely unreasonable. Even bare facts can succumb to a political bias of which ones are emphasized and which are held back. As soon as a story is stitched together with an interpreting narrative, any hope for impartiality is gone.

I doubt this is a framing the original author would appreciate, but it strikes me that the NYT is really just another competing religion, delivering a sermon that condemns an outgroup as has been done for ages. I can put on my empathy hat and appreciate the original linked post, just like in isolation I can respect the good values of the Times. And with so much of society being steeped in the religion of the Times, it is important to do the work of being exposed to the others. But ultimately being anti-religion, I'm not interested in actually drinking either pitcher of kool-aid.

Why things used to seem "impartial" was likely a function of a more uniform society. People would consider things like national origin or religious sect to be supremely divisive, but all be on the same page of perhaps we might today call "the conservative agenda". What appeared "impartial" was really just carrying a shared societal bias rather than actually considering different points of view.

You want HN to ge a community, start obeying the rules yourself.

HN is not a community, it’s a cargo cult where only certain thoughts are allowed and you ban people who think differently, no matter how well they present their argument or how polite they are.

Further, you engage in ad hominem and dishonest attacks, make calling and violation of every other rule in your rule book you capriciously enforce against everyone else.

Because of this, you have no standing to expect anyone to ever respect your rules.

This is why this site is considered a joke to the rest of the world and the tech community.

It’s the epitome of Bay Area smelling-ones-own-farts, and you’re oblivious.

On a personal note, I desperately want to get into using darktable as Lightroom is the last piece proprietary software that I rely on. However, it seems Leica M8 support is still “not there” [2].

The money-shot is in the last paragraph:

> That is the lesson of this entire saga. The New York Times defends themselves in the name of journalism. They are journalists they tell us, not religious propagandists. And with that declaration they reveal the truth: to be a journalist is to write, and to write, and seek credit for what you write even though you know nothing about those things which you write about.

The point of a journalist is not to write your perspective as a member of a group, it is to write as one outside a group. This person was expecting the article/comment/tweet to be written as if from that group, and that is not journalism, that's more like a documentary.

Imagine if all journalistic articles were written from the perspective within that group, would that really be a more informational and educational read?

If you disagree with how journalism sees your particular group then perhaps it's time to think about if this is how that grouping is actually seen from the outside. If there is a clear dissonance between how you see your group and how it's seen from the outside, ask yourself why that is.
This is a very common problem. It is good to learn but it is even better to focus and push things out. This is particularly applicable if your application going down really doesn't hurt badly. Users / Customers care very less about the stack and many things that developers focus too much on.

There is way too much of good dev stuff to decide the "best one". Just pick one and move forward.

Read this thread ... [Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses? | Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21332072) .... there are quite a few examples of people cranking out useful stuff with basic tech (primitive).

It may make sense to just push out and launch if it is anywhere in your realm of interest. And focus less on novelty and differentiation. Eat into the existing market if you are stuck finding a way to differentiate.

I've analysed 15 products, in an area I'm working on, over the past few months and they all seem to be doing fine. There is nothing particularly different among them and think they focus on market and selling to people who would use them to keep the lights one.
Newspapers, magazines etc. Basically however they want.
That's not how I was interpreting the tweets. The author is fine with the feedback on their writing; what they're not fine with is an automated system tagging their work as "low quality" if enough erroneous feedback (or subjective feedback that perhaps the author disagrees with) is submitted.

(See my other comment[1]; it sounded to me too that the feedback was on text intentionally spelled with non-standard spellings, but that's different from a "typo".)

Comes and goes. Will have content. Then blank. No add revenue. A work of love. Some awfull spelling and copy grammer in some articles though. But fortunately no blaring intrusive video.
I think singular "they" is OK, although sometimes it is unclear. Magic: the Gathering now uses singular "they", although in the cases where it would be unclear, other phrasing such as "that player" is used to clarify. Since they have considered the possibility of being unclear and made a solution when it is a problem, I think that is OK. I know that singular "they" has been used even since Shakespeare's time. Even "you" is a plural word like "they" is, but is also use singular. Just as "you are", I think they should say "they are" too, rather than "they is". I think is fine using "they" to refer to anyone regardless of the gender or if it is known, or about how many they are or if that is known either, and I think can be useful sometimes that "they" (and also "you") can be ambiguous if it is more than one or not, which is sometimes useful in speech/writing to not specify; is too bad that English doesn't do that with normal words. However, there is also problem other way around: if you want to specify explicitly if they are one or more than one. I suppose if it is necessary, then you can use words "thou" and "y'all" if "you" isn't good enough, perhaps, but then "they" won't.

However, I think that you should have free speech. People should try to say what they like to say honestly and clearly, rather than being "politically politeness/correctness" if such a thing is a hindrance (but if it isn't, then it is OK, though). Other people have the right to their opinion too, though, which might not match mine, which is also OK, since it is also freedom of speech. OK

The bias of HN towards web dev is pretty funny sometimes. I'd definitely be very impressed if I received these business cards, it's more novel than other PCB business cards I've seen and took a lot more initiative and effort with all the sourcing and research required. But the design and integration work is something I'd expect any embedded systems engineer to be capable of, and the vast majority of those engineers are making less than all of you guys at FAANG talking about kubernetes or whatever it is that goes on there

But what the reported on Monson is true! They did not add flattering points the way the church wanted because this is how a free-press in a non-theocracy works!

Merriam-Webster’s Words of the Year 2019
What if the human mind is not computable? Why does no one test this hypothesis instead of throwing billions of dollars and our brightest minds against an unsubstantiated hypothesis? Why are we so unscientific in testing assumptions when it comes to AI? It is not difficult. I've thought of tests myself. But, the closest I've seen in academic literature is Penrose' microtubules and silly hypercomputation. Nothing with empirical tests. I blame materialistic bias, since if materialism is true then the human mind must be a computation.
But, materialism does not need to be true in order to have empirical tests whether the mind is computable.
I think the requirement of fitting things onto 'pages', which PDF's have to follow as a "document" format thats intended to map to printed pages, is a huge detriment. It's a physical limitation of print that shouldn't exist in electronic form. I've had great success with ebooks on O'Reilly's Safari platform, because it uses a continuous scrolling model with "flipping" only being used for switching chapters. Unfortunately I'd rather not read off of my laptop most of the time, so that's sort of a roadblock to Safari for me (they do offer a tablet application, but I refuse to authorize my tablet through the company that provides my subscription).

What exact issues do you have with the Equal Rights Amendment? The amendment is quite simple. It's just three sentences that state that men and women should have equal rights.

I don't see any need or moral justification for push advertising, i.e. showing advertising to people who are not looking for a certain service or product. Fine to have directories for services and products that people are actively looking for and thus choose to actively view. Not fine to push advertising on people who are not actively looking for any such services and products. I would very happily support a ban on advertising in all public spaces.
