Yeah, use of SSE registers does not imply SIMD, since x87 is gone in x86-64, so even scalar FP has to use SSE registers. The asm snippets for v::operator*() in the "Optimization level 1" section use scalar SSE arithmetic only (mulss). (There's some use of movaps to move data around, but it's a stretch to call that SIMD.)

I think the "leverage" sentence you quoted and the "with SIMD taken care of" one shortly after are maybe a bit misleading, since the asm snippets there don't really demonstrate SIMD.
It's only a waste when one considers it wasteful.
I used to work for Thoughtworks and I just used Lyft all the time. I’m not going to look at both apps wasting time basically comparing prices. Definitely not just to save three minutes. I think this kind of thinking, is a very small minority, they probably all read HN too, am I right?

I'm not sure I understand, because neither IRC nor Slack have the bubbles thing, that's something you'll see in Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp. Also, Riot doesn't have those bubbles, and has the list of accounts/rooms on the side.

You are definitely right. It's almost like those typographers have figured some things out in the time since 1440AD when they started working on it.
Some hospitals in NYC were overwhelmed, but that was limited to Queens and Brooklyn: the NPR piece notes that Javits Center, which was turned into a hospital in Manhattan, treated about 1100 people total, after being built to handle 1900 at a time. The three other NY field hospitals on that list, all close to NYC, treated zero patients. One of those is in the same county just north of NYC that had the initial outbreak here.

I think there's no question that COVID-19 has been a disaster here, but it's going to be heavily debated whether the lockdown saved us or just made things worse on net.
It's because mobile browsers have to deal with sites built only for desktops. So if they don't get this tag they wil emulate a desktop resolution but on a mobile screen.

The tag sets the width to the devices actual width (although pixel scaling can change the display resolution) and the initial scale sets the scale to not imitate a desktop.

Why can't you model each neuron as an individual object with a unique UID in code?

I am fortunate enough to have a friend that's fairly accomplished in ML and a really nice guy. He spent a video chat + code session with me where he helped me build an NN from scratch in Typescript, we replicated the network in the paper here:

https://mattmazur.com/2015/03/17/a-step-by-step-backpropagat...

Here's the Codesandbox link, if you notice the console output it (approximately) matches the figures from the paper above:

https://codesandbox.io/s/node-typescript-vqszi?file=/example...

I don't really understand much about ML or neural networks, but from a code perspective, if you have these data structures:

class Neuron {
id: number | void = neuronUidGen.next().value;
incoming: Connection[];
outgoing: Connection[];
rate: number;
bias: number;
output: number;
error: number;
}

class Connection {
id: number | void = connectionUidGen.next().value;
from: Neuron;
to: Neuron;
weight: number;
}

Why couldn't you manipulate these however you see fit? There's a Layer implementation in there that's commented out because it doesn't function right that could roughly accomplish something like this theoretically, right?
I only have only one real tip for you: learn to get in the zone.

When I am in the zone I have an intense desire to create a beautiful masterpiece in my chosen art and revel in its elegance and beauty. When I am in the zone outside distractions are eliminated and my mind is fully focused on the task at hand. When I am truly in the zone matters such as health, family, children, work and (when I was younger) even hunger or the need to sleep disappear; all that remains is the task. My brain has maximum cycles to iterate again and again until I achieve greater understanding and/or arrive at a solution.

I do not have very good general tips on how to get in the zone. I have some things that work for me, although not always. They include:

- Real-world isolation: These days where everyone is at home, I go to a corner in my garden where my family knows not to bother me.

- Virtual-world isolation: No emails. No browsing. No notifications of any kind. Phone on silent. Absolutely no Slack, Teams, etc!

- Friction-free programming environment: If the build takes 20 minutes, then it will be hard to remain in the zone. If the Mac has stuck keys get them fixed or buy a laptop from a different brand.

- Headphones with some favorite music: For programming I like trance, the more repetitive the better. I often use this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/MrLemilica2

- Review previous work on the subject: This acts as a brain warm up for me and usually puts me in the right mood.

- Some times work better than others: When I was younger it was far easier to get in the zone at night. These days I do not have that luxury because of family.

- Work on a problem that excites you: It is much easier to get in the zone when the subject matter interests you. It is harder (although still possible) when the subject is less interesting.

- No context switching: Choose a task and stick to it for at least a few hours.

- Get the non-enjoyable tasks out of the way: (This may not work for everyone.) I like to complete tasks that I do not enjoy (e.g. administrative or legal) first. I can then continue my work care-free instead of having this niggling thought in the back of my mind: "do not forget to respond to the lawyer".
I’ve been porting the Sly IDE to Sublime and basically I would say Sublime is a hostile development environment, a lot of times errors dont trigger stack traces and just silently fail which is super frustrating.
I think that.

Specifically, I think that first world societies can afford to give 25% of the workforce a paid sabbatical without ceasing to exist. And I find it depressing that there are people who think this is a shock that rich societies cannot absorb.

Sure, it'll be painful. Taxes will have to go up afterwards, the retirement age might have to rise. But it's possible.

> So you're saying that animal feed isn't vegetation?

Are you serious? Of course they are vegetation, but hardy vegetation like wheat can grow in a lot of places efficiently with harsh weather. But avocados can't.

https://homeguides.sfgate.com/climate-avocado-tree-need-grow...

Avocados require stable dry heat and relatively little wind. Good luck trying to find that in the midwest where most of the animal feed are grown.

> rather than just unfounded assertions?

That different vegetation grows in different environments isn't an unfounded assertion. It's an obvious fact of nature. Only a vegan wouldn't know that. But lets be honest, no amount of facts or data is going to change the mind of a vegan cultist. You just want data/facts just so you can figure out how to lie better or ignore the facts/data next time. Right?

Oh yeah, almonds and many other vegan foods are absolutely horrible for the environment.

https://www.motherjones.com/food/2014/07/your-almond-habit-s...

I bet you virtue signal about the environment, climate change, etc all the time. The environmental damage and climate change are a result of globalism. Guess which diet is dependent entirely on globalism? That's right the vegan diet. A carnivore and omnivore diet can be sourced locally. A vegan diet cannot be sourced locally. A vegan in alaska or puerto rico or anywhere on earth cannot survive on locally sourced vegan diet. They need to steal vegetation from all over the world to barely survive. Yay for the cult of veganism!

try to be 1% better as frequently as possible. (James Clear says daily, but even monthly will pay off a lot over a career)

For any self improvement where it's equally difficult, and it's only the changing cost, do your best to change immediately.

For example it's basically identical to write, but the latter is much much more valuable code. Identical effort, more value.

log.Printf("thang blew up: %v", err)
// vs
logrus.WithError(err).Error("thang blew up")

I try my best to seek out those "equally" difficult but better things and eat the change cost asap
Yeah, I'm thinking the simpler answer here is that this data is basically trash. Based on some of the other comments in this thread, it really seems like it is not a good quality survey with pretty poor quality control.

It reports fewer agency developers in China than in Andorra. The difference between the two represents 1% of Andorra's total population and 0.7E-4% of China's.
Off the top of my head, there are also the Librem laptops from Purism and the Vikings X200 laptop, the latter of which does have an RYF certification.
I don't think that stands to reason at all. That sounds laughable, especially in the context of the heinous things American society did to purposefully black families from "achieving their potential". While immigrant families' ancestors were in their home countries accruing assets, educational opportunities, and (relatively more) equal access to what their country had to offer, black people here were held back from their white peers. Home equity, educational opportunities, freedom from police harassment, the ability to organize politically without facing literal terrorism.
But it isn't 10% - it's probably closer to 50%.

The car is $30-50k with a lifetime of what, 10 years?

The driver needs to earn $40k/yr.

The vast majority of the cost is the driver - insurance and fuel are next, ultimately followed by vehicle capex and maintenance.

Also don't underestimate the amount of local news coverage the driverless taxi will get - combined with the "there's no rude, smelly person driving me".

Used work boats are extraordinarily cheap, usually $10k for a 40' boat that's 16' wide, and then another 10-15K for a used marine diesel engine. Compare that to a fiberglass pleasure yacht where you might pay $30k for a 30' boat and 50K for a 40' sailboat used, plus 8-12k for a marine diesel engine.

Same goes for trucks, you can buy a brand new F-150 crew cab for $35,000 with all the fixings, or you can buy a 5-ton truck military surplus that can tow ten pickup trucks for $8,000.

I guess it's true that hospital utilization for non-COVID cases declined, but in NYC hospitals, they were still stuffing people in the hallways while these sites idled. Is that not a scandal? Some contractors made a lot of money building these sites. Did the people building them know before-hand that they didn't fulfill the list of features for actual utilization when they signed the contracts that were evaluated under an accelerated, non-competitive review?

I don't want to diminish the efforts of the people that built these sites and stood ready to treat patients. That's heroic. My skepticism is aimed at the bosses.

> USD$660M seems like a reasonable price to pay, strictly as insurance, given the very real risk that hospitals would have been overfilled and covid-related mortality would have spiked due to lack of care.

I think this is under-appreciated. In contrast to the $0.6 billion spent on field hospitals, the US spent some $2000 billion on the CARES act to mitigate economic harms of the virus and response to it.

I grew up in Pondicherry, went to Pondicherry Engineering College (class of 99). I used to bike up from college to Matrimandir a lot of weekends for meditation. There are several communities within Auroville and they each operate kind of independently. Some of them welcome guests to stay with them, and I have stayed with a number of communities. So, what accusation may be true for one community may not be true for other communities.

In the middle of all of that, I found Sadhana forest to be a wonderful community in Auroville that is far away from the madness of Matrimandir both physically and spiritually. Aviram and his family, along with volunteers, are doing a fantastic job of reforesting the area west of the Tindivanam highway. If you are going, once we are past this global Covid19 pandemic that is, I would highly recommend a volunteering stay at Sadhana forest.
I work in machine learning, and I've noticed a particular dynamic in how people treat predictions like this.

In general, when there is a breakthrough in a field of research—like what deep learning went through recently—there is a gold rush of new projects that push the boundaries.

A certain category of people look at these new startups, and project that momentum out to some extremely distant problem (like AGI or fully autonomous vehicles), without understanding if this field of research necessarily leads to solutions to those problems, at least in linear fashion.

Then there is another category of person who looks at those predictions and dismisses the entire field as hype, ignoring the surge of valuable projects that kicked it all off.

Washington state has been using that system since forever ago, and the world didn’t end. Why do you foresee it going any differently in CA?

Probably an unpopular opinion but... Write your own text editor.

I've been working on my own (https://github.com/alefore/edge) as a side project and using it exclusively for about six years. I don't expect it to be very usable by other people (it's very customized for my workflows, I suppose; e.g., it's mostly useful for writing C++ and Markdown files) but, because I know it inside out (and I've invested in making it easy to customize through its extension language), it's very easy for me to adjust it to behave exactly the way I want it, which allows me to lower the friction for any operations I care about (and it abides very exactly to my principles/expectations for how an editor should behave; e.g. never block the main thread/UI while executing some operation such as opening a file). Because I don't have to use but a small set of computers directly (mostly my laptop and my workstation), this works well enough.

I don't know if overall it'll save me more time than it has taken me to implement it, but I do believe it allows me to move significantly faster than if I still used Vim or Emacs (or than most of my team mates), especially because it allows me to operate at a higher semantic level than otherwise, eliminating distractions from lower level details.

... and, I guess, it has been a lot of fun to implement it (and I've probably learned a bunch). I think it has played a role for me similar to that videogames have played for some of my friends (e.g., this weekend's challenge may be to generate visualizations for the logs I keep for every interaction I have with each file I've edited; implementing stuff like that feels similar to how in the past I felt about making progress in some videogames).
but these studies are all relatively underfunded and underpowered relative to the stringent approval process for new prescription drugs, so I think the point stands.

$10/hour is a rough estimate for the after expenses earnings for Uber drivers. The gross Uber pays is more like $16/hour so that’s the number to compare if you are going to look at Uber’s all-in cost to run a fleet. Using the 16 hours/day estimate it comes out to $93k a year of driver payments saved, which seems like it should easily pay for the purchase and maintenance of a car (especially if the car lasts multiple years). Uber has access to capital so they can handle the “up front” nature of the expense. Paying people to drive a car around all day is expensive and if Uber could avoid that they would have a better business.

> "Economists need to be part of the planning, so we can determine exactly how many deaths is best" is the worst take anyone has ever had and you should be ashamed.

I hate to go all “what about the flu”, but seriously. Tens of thousands of people die from the flu every year. Think about how many we’d save if we just locked down permanently. Or how many auto deaths we’d prevent if we all banned cars. And yet we don’t do either of those things, because as a society we’ve determined that those deaths are an acceptable tradeoff, for, you know, life to go on.
Perhaps we should split the web into two worlds. Create dedicated browsers for just enriched document etc. Add some sort of constraints on what the browser can do, and how much control is removed from the user.
I don't see how this follows. Income is not evenly distributed across individuals, so tax isn't evenly distributed. So even if 50% of people donated 10-15%, that's no guarantee that it's the 50% of the high earners.

Also, philanthropy isn't a solution to systemic problems. It tends to focus dollars on the 'prettiest' problems -- it's not super attractive to donate to, e.g., portable toilet facilities. Aid programs ensure we're covering everything, including the ugly (or out of sight) problems.

The problem here is that the average end user would not know which one to use and when to use it.
Do you question the premise that:

a) economic depression will directly or indirectly kill people

b) lockdown doesn't "solve the problem" - it merely slows it down

We can argue all day about exactly numbers of how many people will get killed by the economic damage, but if you want to take away rights and opportunities for people to provide for themselves and their families, the onus is on you to prove that the lockdown will save more people than it will kill.

And at the end of the day - it's still a question of which set of people is going to die - whatever those numbers might be.
Yeah, I also read that in the article. It's incorrect. Google went public in 2004, and they have that voting structure. It's mentioned correctly in the article.
