On the desktop chips (x299) it's easy to adjust all the clock speeds in the bios.

If the workloads I'm most interested in are all avx512-heavy (why I bought x299 instead of threadripper), do you think there'd be a reason to set the clock speeds to be equal, regardless of ISA?
That is, if I currently have 4.6/4.3/4.1 GHz no-avx/avx(2)/avx512, when might it be worth setting all three of these to 4.1 GHz?

I suspect "never" is the answer?

I have the impression that Zen's clocking algorithm is much smarter than Intel's heuristic approach.
There was a language for calculators called Reverse Polish Lisp. (That's all I know about it.)

If I were to design a language matching that name, I guess it'd be basically Logo written backwards. This might be interesting for a live programming environment, because in Lisp you type a whole expression and and nothing happens till you hit enter; but on e.g. an old HP RPN calculator you see the state of the data change after every keypress. You could design an "RPL" to work that way too, though after every word instead of every key.
Except you can always install sensors that can look as far as you want
The research done by ordinary people (not league or club personnel) created a situation where the league had to respond. Without that, I don’t think an investigation would have taken place.
If you allow people to rate the ratings, you come back to the original issue that people are unreliable raters.

Dislikes over likes does sound interesting though.
Keep in mind that this university has a fairly limited transit system. (http://www.ou.edu/content/dam/CART/Design/156208-CART%20map%...) The school I went to, also in Oklahoma, had zero transit options.
You make it sound like it would genuinely be in Germany's interest to not have a pipeline with Russia. Americans are no more rational than Germans, so if what you say is true, where is the harm in letting Germans make their own decisions rather than having Americans make those decisions for them?
That's the current system. The rich people pay the MRSP (about 70K/year), and the poor pays half as much on average due to various scholarships / grants / aid.

Your way is just that in terms of outcome, except it's more antagonizing to the rich.
I'd speculate he might have picked it up from Umberto Eco's Come si fa una tesi di laurea (1977 - English translation: How to Write a Thesis, 2015)
This seems correct to me. The last two things I've learned were javscript/node/react and Haskell. I had never touched js or html before, but within two days I had a pretty decent web app up and running. It was something that could (and did) provided value for a business.

Two days after starting Haskell I had essentially nothing to show for it except a feeling that I has a huge amount to learn before I could be productive. Even a year later I still have a huge amount to learn.
Building any car involves emissions. Deciding whether your prejudices about electric cars are accurate requires taking a specific point of comparison and actually running the numbers.

And assuming that BEVs are not the most environmental vehicles on the market doesn't mean that a gas guzzler truck is better.

My gut reaction (or prejudice, but I like mine better than yours) is that currently hybrids, plug-in or not, have the lowest total CO2 emissions. But we should all remember how often people claimed that cars like the Prius were worse for the environment and surely in this era of them being taxicabs, you have to retreat on that.

The simplest rule of thumb is, in my opinion, whether something is cheaper, unsubsidized. There may be externalities, but if you are unbiased, you cannot use special pleading to say thing A has externalities as if thing B doesn't (unless or until you have specific justification).

I'm also really sick of hearing that the Leaf or whatever is coal powered. I live in one of the largest states in the US, and virtually none of the electricity comes from coal. And everywhere, coal power is in a major decline due to market forces.

Just be honest.

At first glance, but it's probably better for Europe to be grudgingly aligned with the top power that it's generally aligned with than to be a more independent 3rd or 4th power. It's the same reason the UK is better off in the EU, even if they don't like it.
Yep that wall has broken down. There are already long term implications to Trump craziness. What ever he is doing is extremely short sighted and plays right into China's hands, the one thing he is railing against.
Hey donpark!

1. automatically adding landmarks
This is a potential solution to a problem that we think about quite often: it's easy to teach people HOW to place components, but it's hard to teach people WHERE to place components.

We introduced templates to not only help people get started with their notes but also give them an example that they can follow when it comes to making memorable islands.

2. I'm not sure what exactly you mean by dragging a line. Do you mind expanding a little?
I agree with the general point of this article. But it's interesting that it seems to leave out one of the main reasons to show your work when in SCHOOL -- partial credit. If a student goes off course during an early step in a multi-step problem, the teacher will often give credit for steps performed correctly after the incorrect step (in the US--not sure about other countries). If the student doesn't shown their work, they will receive 0/40 points for a wrong answer, instead of, say, 30/40.
What does this have to do with comparing a Leaf to non-BEVs? Is there some reason why the tires would be significantly more or less polluting?
It is not. Or maybe it is. We don't know:

The poster you replied to has a point, though. Trump certainly does seem to have many shady connections to powerful Russian figures, but the Trump administration's Russia policy is almost identical to the Obama administration's.
That sounds very tidy, but reality is not that simple. Here is a very real situation many schools face: you have 100 slots in your school. You objectively determine that X skills are needed to do well in your school. 1000 applicants demonstrate meeting X level of skills. Some of the 1000 clearly show they have skills well above X, but most of the 1000 are roughly equivalent.

Which 900 get turned away and how do you decide which?
> Why is lisp always rejected?

My best guess is performance.

In the 70s, computers were slow. When the decade started, the competing languages of the time were Fortran, Algol and Cobol. All were imperative languages with manual memory management that would compile directly to hardware and had semantics very close to that of the hardware. On the other hand, at that time, Lisp was this high level thing, garbage collected, dynamic types, semantics more removed from the hardware, etc. Meaning Lisp was much less performant.

Then in 1972, came C. A language inspired by Algol and Fortran, using very similar imperative semantics and constructs, but changing the syntax slightly to what is now the common syntax most programming languages use.

The whole point of C was to be crazy fast, and for compilers to be easy to write so it could be portable as well. C's biggest move was that Unix was re-written in it. Before that, operating system kernels were implemented in assembly language! Unix was implemented in assembly language! Think about that, performance was critical in the 70s for a kernel.

Once Unix was re-written in C, and C proved to be performant enough to run a Kernel, its momentum started growing. Unix won the OS war, and slowly everyone was using computers running Unix, meaning that it had a C API. What happens when the most popular OS has binding in a specific language, more people choose that language to write programs for that OS. Thus C became ever so popular. Lisp was there, but not leveraging Unix as much, and still much too slow.

And this was the beginning of the momentum for C, it only accelerated since then. Linux came around, also in C, Windows, also in C, all major OS were in C. So C like syntax, semantics and programming constructs became the norm, and was what got thought in school and uni, etc.

Fast forward to today, and Lisp is finally "fast enough" to be used. We finally reached a point where you can have useful programs in slower languages, like Python, Java, JavaScript, C# all demonstrate. But how can you beat 50 years of momentum in C like languages? That's what most everyone knows. That's why imperative, mutable, procedural statement based, with C like semantics and syntax is still the norm, and all other languages that aren't struggle to get a foothold.
It depends on how ruthless the city is about parking enforcement. AFAIK Some places have laws against parking at broken meters. Then again some places say it's legal.

https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/parking-tickets-bro...

Edit: The university I went to gave me parking tickets twice. Once because I forgot to hang my permit and once .. I have no idea why, but they ticketed everyone in the lot lol. Both times when I stopped by the office they immediately dropped them. Sometimes parking enforcement can be downright reasonable, so I wouldn't necessarily assume the worst of them.
They "admit"? It's not like the recent "full self-driving car by 2025" craze fooled anyone who knew even a modicum about the current state-of-the-art in ML applied to self-driving cars. I remember doing a back-of-the-napkin on this a couple years ago. It would take something like 7 nines of accuracy across all types of driving tasks for us to remove the need for a fallback human behind the wheel. AFAIK we don't even have 7 nines of accuracy for highway driving yet, so this is clearly a pipe dream for the foreseeable future. Maybe ask again in 2070.
Amazing. The difference between their number one position and the the second is a greater difference than any other two consecutive positions.

Not an especially important metric, but impressive nonetheless.

How to say... Russians invasions are acts of war, squarely and simple, but they do so without any tinfoil "geopolitical conspiracy" in mind.

There is no bigger "grand plan" to them than to an 8th century Viking raid: more subjects, loot, and territories to use to stage further invasions.

Danes cared more for how tasty the British were, before they started to care about the British throne and court politics in the bigger Post-Roman world.
Thank you for the link! I'm very interested in reading it.
I mean the parent comment, not TFA
Neither this comment nor my sibling mentioning Netscape 5 are correct. SeaMonkey's lineage is Netscape 6. Netscape 6 is from the early 2000s, not the late 90s. This is significant because they are different codebases, and there was a substantial gap between the latest mass market release in the 90s and the first release prepared from the new (nglayout, now known as Gecko) codebase. The code that was first released in the 90s was the then-in-progress state of the never-finished Netscape 5. The decision to scrap Netscape 5 is the source of the "never do a rewrite" meme that came out of Spolsky's article.
whatever they come up with will still be valued in terms of dollars, as dollars are still the fundamental unit of currency inherent to the universe.

According to 1798.99.80(d), a data broker is defined as "a business that knowingly collects and sells to third parties the personal information of a consumer with whom the business does not have a direct relationship."

The bill explicitly says the following entities are not considered data brokers: consumer reporting agencies, financial institutions, and insurance companies. (I'll note that this is a summary; the bill states more specifically those entities covered. However, the categories are generally correct.)

So, to the questions.

> What are the legal obligations of a data broker?

According to 1798.99.82(b), the obligations are two:

1) The data broker must register with the Attorney General and pay the annual registration fee.

2) The data broker must provide the state with the name of the data broker; its primary physical, email, and internet website addresses; and any additional information or explanation the data broker chooses to provide concerning its data collection practices.

> What are the legal obligations of sites/services that use them on their pages and enable them to get user data?

The bill does not directly state any obligations. In my read, the key part of the definition of a data broker lies in the lack of a direct relationship to a consumer. A business can still sell customer information to a data broker, but I believe this would then fall under the purview of CCPA (which appears to be corroborated by the final line of this bill.) This bill seems targeted toward those who solely acquire information through other, indirect collection means.

My read of this bill (I'm not a lawyer) tells me the state understands the present value of data brokers and doesn't want to eliminate the industry with crushing regulations. However, we know there's plenty of corruption, greed, and lack of ethics among data brokers. Requiring entities to publicly declare their brokering of data seems like a reasonable way for government to reduce these issues.

Consider a restaurant which operates without a license. A license is good because the city knows of the existence of the restaurant. If the city was not aware of the existence of the restaurant, they could not, say, reliably send in health inspectors. Restaurant cleanliness is clearly a good thing since it reduces the potential for food-borne illnesses. I can envision similar analogous benefits from licensing data brokers.

Yup, it can also now use all of the Python libraries as well: https://github.com/cnuernber/libpython-clj

So it now has all of Java, JavaScript and Python ;)

One is reminded of the Primordials from Twig. In that crapsack world, they were considered the most horrible things with which humanity could ever have the misfortune to coexist. Maybe it will work out better IRL!
Same. I got a B&W Brother laser printer (and scanner/fax) from Costco a few years ago and we haven't needed to get another toner cartridge yet, but toner is quite reasonably priced if I ever need it. I think we've done over 1000 pages (definitely hundreds), so it has more than paid for itself compared to a comparably priced inkjet.

Growing up we always had color inkjets, and while it was cool being able to print stuff in color at home, we always went to the local pharmacy to get pictures printed because the quality was so much better. Looking back, I think it was more expensive to print worse pictures at home anyway.

Black and white is enough for my uses and I have had zero problems with this printer, whereas previous printers always seemed to have a issues (smearing, jams, feed issues, etc). When I need pictures, I upload them to Costco and pick them up the next day.
Don't know about the US, but most roads in Europe already have coded reflectors to aid identification of lane geometry. Roadside reflectors have become a standard feature even on small rural roads, they're just hollow plastic half-tubes with reflecting strips on them. Cheap to install, cheap to maintain.

Ask HN: If you could work for any company, which would you choose and why?
I guess it’s a suicide to point this out on HN, but not everyone thinks Ad Tech is the opposite of meaningful work. I think it’s a very “limited imagination” point of view if you a) can’t think of anything less meaningful that people spend their time on, b) can’t think of any upside that Ad Tech brings. I’m happy to elaborate, having worked on ad tech for over 3 years, in case this comment doesn’t get downvoted into oblivion.

Super anecdote and not much to do with the article if you'll indulge me. I have a weird fond memory with my dad when I was in middle school in 1998 or so and we went to the computer parts store, as we always did on Sundays, to browse. They had their technology which seemed to be totally revolutionary. I couldn't believe it held so much more than a regular floppy. I learned all about it, and when I was 16 got a part time summer job at a local ISP because of what I learned and the interest I developed. To this day I remain in software!
Tight curfews are a bad thing, I think. There's an airport just down the road from me, Hanscom (KBED) with an 11P-7A curfew. The shenanigans you see at 10:55P with sometimes three simultaneous landings (two aircraft and one helo to the ramp) are no good for safety.

I've been picking people in the morning and I've more than once seen multiple airplanes circling the field jockeying to be the first one down final at 7:00:00 like it's a sailboat race. Now, would the neighbors rather hear airplanes flying multiple low-level patterns at mid-power from 6:45 to 7:05, or would they be better off if airplanes could come in and land directly [typically at a lower power setting and with only one approach]?
I life in a city of 600,000 in Japan. Trains DO NOT go everywhere. And as GP wrote, they don't run at night. Everyone here owns a car.
Meta: I dislike the use of "admit" in the title and story.

Why are "admit", "confess", "announce", "reveal" etc used instead of the usually more accurate "says"?

Do you have an example of where there are more administrators than educators?
I had a Zip at home, we used it to back up our 800mb hard drive! Pretty wild.
I don’t think full self-driving will happen any more than full self-flying planes exist, however, I do think that lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring and auto merge/lane shift, park assist, emergency auto braking and adaptive cruise control should become mandatory in every car in the next 5 years. This is the same way that stability control is mandatory in nearly every country.

When a work colleague drove home completely wasted and his Mazda CR-V nearly drove itself, you could not tell that his driver input was erroneous. Actually, it felt very safe. It dawned on me that these systems will mitigate a great deal of preventable accidents due to human stupidity.

Effectively what these mean is that, for example, if your product is popular in places where a lot of people are young white people, in a single family household, in the countryside, without a university degree it is not likely to be successful.

If your product is popular in places with a lot of older hispanic people, with a university degree, who live in the city, in an apartment building, it's more likely to be successful
I went back to those articles and you're right, you can click through.

But I did not "spread misinformation". The fact that I didn't know you can just click outside that login screen to read their content isn't because I was misinformed. It was because I was intentionally not informed.

And I won't be patting myself on the back now that I know it's easy to get around either. I'd rather just avoid sites that play silly tricks like this in order to collect more data on me.

Gas powered cars in recent decades generally don't die because the engine died. It's structural rust, the interior falls apart, the electronics are obsolete and probably broken, gadgets fail, the safety features are outdated and may no longer work, people refuse to spend more than the car is worth on repairs...statistically, cars get scrapped around 15 years old at something over 200Kmi.

Teslas even if they are designed with the best intentions will have these problems. And there's always the possibility they won't last near as long, because they're basically expensive iPhones and sold to people are simply not the sort who drive Corollas.
TL;DR: it's Star Wars, by a wide margin, as everyone already knows.
Yeah. For the cost of all this retrofitting of roads, you’d be able to build the most insanely comprehensive transit system anyone has ever heard of.

FWIW though, it probably is possible to use this sort of technology for buses and shuttles. You can’t fix markings on ALL the roads, but you can make sure the markings are good enough on main arterials to have a dedicated bus lane.
> Everything that is possible today... used to be “impossible”.

That's a tautological argument. Obviously things that happened were possible by definition, but you're not accounting for all the things that were actually impossible which never happened and will never happen.
He says "plant alongside" though? Not alternate.
It would be fun, then the police would show up and arrest the people who did it using camera footage from the automated cars. Most people are good people, and the ones who aren't already fuck with the road network now causing all kinds of chaos.. throwing bricks from bridges, ripping the copper out of traffic signals, but it's relatively rare because most people aren't trying to ruin everything at great risk to their freedom. I don't really understand why automated cars would be a huge change of affairs.
Hey there. I'm not sure you'll ever read this, but for the record. THANK YOU, so much.

So.. I've been dabbling with GA since we talked and it is an incredible framework!! I now understand your post loud and clear. It's a new dawn of math for me, I really mean that; Clifford is my new prophet (and I think this one's a keeper possibly for life, I don't know and can't imagine something better for the problem space). So much had not clicked with linear algebra for me, so much of matrices was obscure and had no representation in my mind... And GA's base objects and concepts are so, so elegant, and exquisitely intuitive.

Looking for a short conceptual intro I stumbled upon this channel/playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpzmRsG7u_gqaTo_vEseQ...

Turns out he's an outstandingly good teacher. Strong recommend.

I'll probably take a more "serious" course/book (with problems!) next — if anyone has a recommendation, please do!

Then make progress by working on actual stuff (I guess Hestenes' reformulations are a great starting point, retracing some of these following his reasonning).

And the penultimate goal would be to reformulate stuff myself, if I could — haha, that would be so great. More realistically use GA for research in designing models and representations.

___

TL;DR: you brought Math back into my life. We were on a break (but kept calling each other..) for the last decade and a half. GA is really, really strong. Remind me again, why don't we teach children like that for a century? /s (sigh)

Much thanks again
