>First gen Ryzen (1000 series chips) had some memory compatibility issues, but 2000 and 3000 chips haven't had many issues. It's true that you needed to do a BIOS upgrade on x470/B450 boards when 3000 series chips were released, but those stickers indicate that the board maker installed a newer BIOS and they should work out of the box. Unless you manage to find an X470 board that's been sitting on the shelf since before last July any x470 board you buy today is extremely likely to be compatible with all currently released Ryzen chips out of the box.<

I went through a pair of x470 Taichi's from Amazon last month. Both had non-compatible BIOS that wouldn't work with 3000-series. One so old that Dr Debug wouldn't even do anything. Just blank.

It's not just me. Read the negative product reviews of almost any x470 boards, and you'll see memory and non-POST issues very recently (followed by the response macro from mfg'er saying everything is fine just use 1 DIMM, etc). It's very much a crapshoot with AMD chipsets. You get a good one and everything's great. You get a few bad ones and you're stuck in swap/return/RMA hell.

Also, how can it be FUD when it's exactly what I went through?

Edit:
The "Ryzen 3000 compatible" stickers do NOT mean it will work out of the box. It means that it CAN work...after you update the BIOS with an old CPU.

AMD will offer you a CPU "boot kit" to get it going, but you're risking on missing out on many 30 day return windows with shipping, covid19, processing, etc. Avoid it all and just get an Intel until the next refresh.

The Watson language just doesn't provide any other way to do anything. It's a common problem amongst visual programming languages as mentioned in the article.
White and black men do not retain upper income status across generations at equal rates. White men who are born to wealthy parents are highly likely to remain in the same wealth quintile (something like 60-80% do), while black men who are in the top quintile are about 20% likely to end up in a given quintile, including the one they were born into.

Affirmative action is important even to wealthy black families, if the goal is to mirror the mechanical flow of wealth in America's white families.
> I think you missed my point. If more than half of Oslo was built after 1950 it kinda invalidates that the city was built before cars.

You're missing the more germane point that the relevant metric for "built" in this context are roads, not living accommodations. More people live in Oslo than in the 50s, but the roads and city blocks within ring 3 are what they are from prewar times, i.e. tons of small 1-way streets and the like.

Case in point : many, if not most, of the apartment buildings in "Gamle Oslo" (literally "Old Oslo" - the downtown area to the east of the railway station) were built in the 1980s or later, but the roads around those new constructions are still narrow 1-way prewar streets.

To my mind the parents point was pretty clear - Oslo is an older city, particularly from an American perspective, and you have to travel pretty far out from the city center to find an urban infrastructure that accommodates cars in the way the younger and generally more modern cities in the US (outside the northeast) do. This is 100% related to the city center being built before the dawn of ubiquitous private vehicles, and not to choosing some arbitrarily different urban planning "path".

Another comment mentioned the underground highways that have in fact done wonders to move traffic away from the over-congested city streets, which only reenforces the idea that the city proper was not designed to accommodate even a modest volume of car traffic.

> But the answer your question: Vienna. Vienna has smaller population today than it did in 1910.

That's interesting, but it's noteworthy that it has a higher population today than it did in 1950, so yours is an incomplete answer. The geopolitical reasons for Vienna's population in 1910 are unique, what with being the capital of a sprawling trans-national empire that ceased to exist.
Cool, thanks for sharing.

Good idea to show the travis example for anyone thinking of migration.
Don't talk about it to outsiders, it's really nothing new, just easier to not accidentally slip that you were at a party someone else wasn't invited to.
The features I look for in a technical diagram
An item from China got a wrong postal code and was shipped to Northern Ontario by accident. We got a phone call from a nice lady from a very rural post office saying that they think there's a mistake, our package is targeted to a long closed quarry.

We confirmed it was a mistake but that the package was literally a dollar of baby safety latches and not to bother. Her response was an eager, "no! This is the most exciting part of my week!"
I suspect the constraints made it better. You’d already dropped a small amount of money on the magazine, built up the anticipation of getting it home, and now you were definitely going to give the demo a good whirl.

Also, demos /shareware were an important marketing mechanism back then, companies took them seriously.
It gets even better: teratomas. Fully formed teeth, hair, bones and organs can grow in "other" parts of the body. It's a kind of cancer, but it demonstrates that germ cells (undifferentiated cells that divide and differentiate to become specialized cells, like tooth tissue) contain everything necessary to form complex, accurate structures far from the original area.

Most people would say that's because everything required to make a tooth- the process of making a generic tooth, not the structure of a specific tooth- is encoded in DNA. Of course, it also requires that there be various proteins present in the cancerous germ cell- cellular components that themselves are encoded by DNA.

If I were to put this as succinctly as possible, I woudl say "there appears to be some amount of non-DNA cellular state which affects development, that cannot be traced back directly to expression of protein from DNA in the cell, that is heritable when cells divide". Good luck proving that! The experiments would be nearly impossible to run.
> Large post offices had entire departments of people to decode addresses back then. Today the letter either gets bounced, or sent to the dead letter office.

The costs of automation. Instead of communicating with a human who can be flexible enough to joke with, you communicate with a machine you have to rigidly and humorlessly conform to.
Sounds like they aren't using any computing power of the little computing devices.
No, and only 64 GB max of non-ECC at that. I typically don’t run simulation of more than 1 hour though, and I’ll know when the results are wrong. My use case is CAD/real-time design for RF and EM; multiple smaller simulations of parametric sweeps, Monte Carlo, and optimization.

Ryzen does support ECC, and > 64 GB, so that is a plus.
To Santa, at the North Pole, natch! :)
Different things work for different people. The opposite to your approach worked much better for me.

Sitting and thinking would only allow so much to sink in, and then I'd have none of my own notes to work off later. Instead I'd furiously transcribe by hand everything the lecturer said, everything written on the blackboard/slides (very often not the same thing) and add in my own notes on top too.

Understanding would come much later, over a much longer period than an hour-long lecture.

I had an uncle who was famous in our family for his desire to test various systems. It was only a matter of time before he decided he had to test the postal service.

He picked up a postcard, wrote his initials and his last name and his zip code, and dropped it off at a mail box when he was traveling.

The postcard found it's way to his house in Bangalore, India in the 1990s (if I recall correctly).
I didn't really think about New Brunswick and Louisiana as those only have French-speaking minorities of tens of thousand people.

Haiti and the various French territories have many more French speakers than those (more or less 7 million, only slightly less than Québec has).

I graduated HS 10 years ago and it was pretty similar in my experience, maybe a bit less extreme. There were some "stereotypical teens" at my school but they were a minority. Everyone I was surrounded by was trying to squeeze in as many AP courses as they could, as many officer positions in different extracurricular organizations (NHS, band/choir/orchestra, yearbook, athletics, etc) as they could. Our valedictorian actually managed to hack the system to take an extra class period each semester just to jack up her GPA. I remember when I told my parents, children of the 70s and 80s, that the "popular kids" at school were the overachievers, not the jocks (though there was overlap). They were bewildered by the concept.

We didn't all have websites or talk about buzzwords or "branding" ourselves, but we definitely were branding ourselves for colleges even if we didn't call it that. It was incredibly stressful, TBH. More than college itself. Sounds like it's only gotten even more intense.

It's funny: the tech gold-rush didn't start until a couple years later, so our computer science class was actually a small, tight-knit group mostly free of people who were just trying to boost their college credentials. Everybody who was there wanted to be there, and we'd do extracurricular projects and even road-tripped to a programming competition once. It was really great.
What about messenger/WhatsApp/insta?
The trouble is that the memory representation is fixed and observable in many cases. If you have arrays of primitive or repr(C) types, those are guaranteed to have the same contiguous layout as an array in C would. In particular, you often need to pass pointers to those things to actual C code. Copy types are similar; even if you can't necessarily assume all the details about their layout, you can copy them byte for byte and assume the result is valid. But that doesn't work if the compiler secretly inserts an owning heap pointer that needs to remain unique. The compiler could try to deduce when the memory layout is actually observed in practice, and do whatever it wants in cases where it can prove the difference doesn't matter, but I feel like that would end up making everything more complicated rather than less.
Bonus points if you can effectively implement the "copy on write" ability of the linux kernel to only send over pages to the remote machine that are changed either in the local or remote fork, or read in the remote fork.

A rsync-like diff algorithm might also substantially reduce copied pages if the same or a similar process is teleforked multiple times.

Many processes have a lot of memory which is never read or written, and there's no reason that should be moved, or at least no reason it should be moved quickly.

Using that, you ought to be able to resume the remote fork in milliseconds rather than seconds.

userfaultfd() or mapping everything to files on a FUSE filesystem both look like promising implementation options.
Would Google Cloud Spanner work well for a workload like this one? Why or why not?
hoard() would be a better name.
I worked as a mailman last year and a lot of packages from China had incomplete addresses -- but they all had mobile phone numbers. So a I'd send a picture of the package to the number explaining the situation and asking for the rest of the address.

My Vive stopped working on my AMD machine, and it eventually required a bunch of BIOS and firmware updates to get it working again. On the upside, I had already made the updates to support the new Ryzen CPUs and so picked one up when they were on sale.

There’s probably a little more dodginess to the overall AMD ecosystem, but I expect that to be shaken out shortly (if it already hasn’t been)
You reminded me about Jared Diamond’s lamentation on the agricultural revolution [1]. My jaw was dragging on the floor for a full week after reading it!

Cultivating human potential necessitates the leisure that technology gives us. And when actualized, human potential gives not just the world but the cosmos greater beauty. This makes it self-evidently worthwhile.

No, black girls are also much more likely than white girls to be disciplined, often harshly and physically, and often by people who are not their family. "School resource officer body slams female black student" is practically a YouTube genre unto itself.
Right. More specifically, Nix itself can download files in this way, but the build scripts (in this case, the mkdir & cp part) are not allowed access so that the build is deterministic.

Parts of DNA contain regulatory instructions and other very vague signals. Vast regions of it are just repetitive sequence that probably does not have any functional effect. What hasn't been explained: why is there so much "unproductive RNA production"- that is, RNA that gets transcribed from DNA regions that appear to have no functional contribution. Also not explained: why is there functional selection on regions that seem not to produce anything "useful"?

People have proposed taking genomes and replacing all the parts that aren't under functional selection with random DNA, and showing the organism is still viable. Other folks have proposed cutting out those parts. Nobody has run a convincing experiment on a higher animal to show this is possible, or that the results are convincing in any way.
I grew up at the beginning of the consumer internet.

My parents would tell me to go play outside with the other kids but AOL had just peaked and no one was outside. People were captivated.
> They continuously run every time you make any change to them.

Which is very much unlike what a program does.

> FYI, the "V" in "VI" STANDS FOR "Visual", because it is the "visual mode" of the line editor called ex. Your arbitrarily gerrymandered definition turns C++ into a visual programming language, which it clearly is not.

I appreciate your condescension, but I'm well aware of the history of vi and in any case quite capable of using wikipedia myself.

How is taking the plain meanings of the words in the definition "arbitrarily gerrymandered"? You tell me what visual means to you and how C++ is not a visual programming language, if that's somehow clear in a way that does not apply to Excel.

I still see your point but quoting the How Amazon Web Services Uses Formal Methods paper:

In each, TLA+ has added significant value,
either finding subtle bugs we are sure
we would not have found by other means,
or giving us enough understanding and
confidence to make aggressive performance
optimizations without sacrificing correctness.

Type checking, borrow checking and unit testing are similar albeit weaker tools that allow rapid development by providing a safety net.
Ok, there's been more education on STDs and teen pregnancy, but even still, because of WhatsApp/Facebook messenger, a lot of what used to happen in the hallways (or at least how Hollywood depicts it) can how be "virtually" hidden.
This is correct: the TLA+ model checker (TLC) will check all possible behaviors for the finite model. As the GP said, they were only working with a finite number of workers, but within those constraints it guarantees the spec always satisfies the invariants.

(This is of course assuming that TLC doesn't have any bugs that would cause it to misreport. By contrast something like randomized testing doesn't guarantee the spec satisfies the invariants even if the tester is bug-free.)
>> Unless you manage to find an X470 board that's been sitting on the shelf since before last July

Happens every day. People are still buying boards like that off Amazon. All sale/clearance stock is likely still on the old bios.
But those aren't the two options. If loss of life were equal due to equal participation, you'd get 45% loss of each sex (using your 90% of men figure as the potential loss), which (while still devastating) isn't the same argument for losing the breeding capacity of the country.

The reality is that those sorts of rules are very much based on culture tradition ('historic'). It takes a long time for parts of our culture to change. Only a few countries have mandatory service for women (Finland's neighbors Norway and Sweden among them). Israel does as well, but has a large exception on religious grounds.

Also, mandatory service doesn't necessarily mean mandatory combat service, although I don't know how those countries just mentioned manage that.
Depends on your criteria for necessity. I’d argue that if a job is required to give a person a living wage, than it is necessary.
I can speak of myself. I think that author is giving away ebook for free because his book is so good that when you will see ebook you will want to buy it in paper. Paper book is more convenient for me than ebook. It is much easier to jump back to the other part of the book when needed and make notes in paper version than ebook. Yes you can print ebook, but it is less convenient to use separate lists than whole book. I have many paper books that are available for free in internet.
QC could definitely be an issue. If you built yours last year, it was probably with a 2000-series Ryzen? Those were easier to work with given the gear at the time. The 3000-series and x470's are definitely a problem. Here's a clip of someone with a lot of time on his hands who says, "Oh yeah just let it boot loop for 7-10 minutes then it will finally work."[0] Honestly come on, that's not right. There's still something with what's in the inventory pipeline.

If you read the negative reviews, you'll see reports of "I RMA'd twice and only the third board worked." Not one or two and more than a few.

I don't think that's exactly fair. There are plenty of other great ways to look good to MIT that are primarily available to people in higher income brackets; it's not controversial that MIT caters more to the middle-class than most universities, but the middle class is small now, and the upper class has learned to emulate it over the years.

It still has many of the same flaws the rest of them do.
Shareholders should discount companies without proper financial audits. The trade off in theory is higher risk for higher rewards without that overhead. In practice that’s not what happens.

It’s really several short and long term feedback loops. If the market is efficient then excessive due diligence is a waste and a low overhead ‘dumb’ investment strategy is ideal. However, should everyone take that stance company management has huge incentive to cheat and fleece that dumb money.

If dumb money is being fleeced that pushes for regulations while ‘smart’ money has higher profit. But, should those regulations work they get torn down as excessive wastes.
This is definitely the case in Tallinn, Estonia - home of Starship - yet they only seem to cover a small area of the city. I had assumed that there still always was a human following each 'bot around.

I would expect where there's a large enough economic incentive, and wealthy-enough private group (say, the NFL, MLB, etc) who wouldn't need to wait for government policy or supply, we will see daily testing of their 'employees' so that they can get back to operating. May not be any fans in a live setting, but better than nothing.
Then why write a book? If there's no inherent reason to bind your ideas into a single package (which is done for purposes of selling a single item), how do your ideas benefit from having a book structure? Why not write and format as blog posts instead? Or for poetry, a single entry for each poem?

Why use PDFs instead of a format that allows people to bookmark individual pages, and for search engines to index individual chapters?
This. Capitalism and consumerism reign. Nobody is interested in “fighting the machine” or even aware of what it is.
Even better - so things like Macromedia Flash, Opera browser and shareware games were early versions of free software. /s
Ask HN: Does Flattening the curve only benefit 0.5%?
Assumptions- 4% of people with coronavirus die, pick any number you'd like, but the specific number isn't important. 12% of people on ventilators live.

If you flatten the curve, you give hospital access to everyone who could potentially die. This means 4% times 12% = 0.48% lives are saved by flattening the curve.

Services like oxygen are not exclusive to hospitals, so they do not benefit by flattening the curve.

My question is, are there any other benefits to flattening the curve?

I concur, a hosted thelounge client instance brought me back to IRC after a decade of absence, giving me Log history and recoverable state. If the expectation is to go on public record (vs. private p2p chat) only user experience decides for group chat, not the underlying technology. Though IRC can't replicate threads, that is the only nitpick. In high volume channels replies to old questions are fine and the dynamic caused by seemingly disjoint replies can be learned.
I'm no Linux expert. I used Ubuntu for a few years and then switched to NixOS a couple of years ago. Setup is no more difficult to Arch, and certainly a lot easier than Gentoo.

For me the fact that I can replicate my machines with a couple of config files is the major driver. That and the ability to install a package in a shell, use it, then exit the shell and not have it installed globally is amazing.

Of course, you can use the nix package manager on any Linux distro and even macOS if you want a gentler introduction.
I don't know.

In Spain kids are indeed less adventurous than my generation, specially in the cities, but I've never heard about someone complaining about kids roaming.

I think the number of alone activities kids can do these days to keep themselves entertained (videogames, internet, netflix, etc) is a much more influential factor.
You’re pretending as if cars don’t give you a lot of benefits but they do. Outside of ultra dense gridlocked cities like NYC, cars free you to get a lot more done on any given day than you could otherwise. They give you time, which you can’t acquire easily.

Quality video is definitely hard too, but it's just not as important.

If we have beautiful, well-lit video feeds if every participant, but no one can hear what they're saying -- that's a deal breaker. The other way around, if we have clean, crisp audio from everyone and inconsistent video, at least the conversion can still move forward.
