I don't think this is a very strong point. In this case we're talking about a Reddit user who has been an active redditor for a long time moderating various subreddits. What's the issue exactly? That he may sell his account or otherwise be influenced by state agents? That also applies to the CEOs and board members of Reddit, the regulators and lobbyists, and polticians. There are plenty of worse things to be concerned about than how many subreddits Gallowboob is moderating.
I wish new platforms would embrace 64 bit as the default. C and C++ for all common platforms use 32 bit literals and prefer 32 bit operations (char * short => int). Rust made a similar mistake. Java arrays use 32 bit subscripts, etc... I don't have a single computer (including my phone) using 32 bit pointers, but integers are stuck in the late 80s. (We already had 64 bit DEC alphas in the early 90s)

For a web page, 4 gig seems like a courtesy limitation to users, but that should be enforced by the browser refusing to suck up the entire computer rather than the language being unable to. I routinely write (non-web) applications which use arrays larger than 4 gigasamples.
How so? We can already render really nice cloth offline. The issue is the runtime cost of sending that animation data to the GPU.

Are you suggesting building some kind of GPU side physics protocol that takes material properties, and existing bone data and fills in some of the blanks? I suppose you could start to push bone motion vectors and interpolate some things.
Most death in those systems is due to predation though. Just look at what happens when natural predators are removed, the population explodes and then busts due to starvation. If your conjecture was correct then the population would self-regulate by aging and dieing before reaching that point.
>most people are good and not out to screw each other over.

Unfortunately we live in a world run by capitalism and screwing people over is the main tenant. But hey, I live in this reality, but that's just me.
You're referring to "term overloading". This is pervasive throughout all domains of engineering, but more so in software because there are so many conflicting standards, definitions and citations. It's really hard to get a handle on. Like, I would assume that posting on HN the audience would assume I would not confuse "overlaying pixels of my signature on a document," with, say ECDSA sign & verify. But I was wrong to assume that. So, barring a common definition, should we speak with increased precision thus verbosity? Perhaps. But if THIS example grinds your gears, hooo boy, hang of for a ride.... :)
>> Trading also subjects you to short term capital gains tax rates, as well as losing the effects of compounding.

And judging from the rest of the comments, sounds like there will be lots of short term capital losses also to offset the gains. Also sounds like having lots of taxable gains might be a pretty good scenario here!
I’d strongly advise against retrobrighting. It usually vastly speeds up the deterioration of the plastic such that it could start turning to powder in just a few months, from my understanding.
800 hires a year means ~15 people starting every week. Every one of those 800 positions likely received hundreds of resumes, which needed to be sifted through. Then you need to have calls with each candidate, narrow down the pool further. Then all the onsite rounds. For an initial team of 200 that is an impossible task.

What about non-contemporary “laws”?

For example, Polybius’ Anacyclosis. It originated with Plato and Aristotle, and Polybius codified it - and it influenced thinkers such as Machiavelli and Kant.

To a modern reader, or at any rate to this modern reader, it holds water.

Yes, there are counter-examples, but they seem to be vastly outweighed by examples which follow the form. See the French and American revolutions, the glorious revolution, the arc of the Roman Empire, for a few.

I would say (as an absolutely unqualified observer) that we (much of the world) are currently in an ochlocractic state, moving towards monarchies.

I’d be interested in his/your take on an idea that had persisted and influenced for several millennia - I wouldn’t call it a flash in the pan.

Also, out of curiosity, how far would you be willing to take this sentiment? I'm originally from Poland - if I could live there and still earn my current US salary, I'd probably be able to buy one apartment every year and still have money left over to live comfortably. So, should you actually compete with others? If so, are you OK with them undercutting you? Would it be good or bad if they did? :)
> I'm saying that for a layman explanation, it's reasonable to say that hash outputs are unique. [...] theoretically there are collisions but you won't encounter them

You could have said exactly the same thing about MD5 right up until you couldn't. Then you could have said "oh yeah well MD5 is broken, but it's safe to assume you'll never find one for SHA-1", right up until we did. So if you say "oh yeah well SHA-1 is broken, but it's safe to assume you'll never find one for SHA-256", I disagree.

It would be one thing if collisions in hash functions were found by just repeatedly hashing things until you find a collision. If that were the case, then yes, I'd agree with you on those 1-in-2^256 odds, at least for a while. But by and large, that's not what happens. Over time, weaknesses are found in algorithms which allow you shrink the search space, which significantly changes your odds.

> the community doesn't seem to be bothered that for a long time, the only SYCL implementation was a commercial one

Bothered has nothing to do with it. Implementing low level toolchains generally seems to require both a gargantuan effort and an incredible depth of knowledge. If it didn't, I think tooling and languages in general would be significantly better across the board.

What am I supposed to do, implement a SYCL compiler on my own? Forget it - I'll just keep writing GLSL compute shaders or OpenCL kernels until someone with lots of resources is able to foot the initial bill for a fully functional and open source implementation.
Pretty much any ODE solver you want double. All of CFD (fluid sims) and FEM (mechanics) use double. It can also be a big help in graphics. Basically, if you're doing fine meshing, doubles will help you. There's a balance between your meshing size as well. Your life is a whole lot easier and you'll get better answers if you just use double. Ask literally any computational {physicist,scientist,engineer}. We've all tried without double. Trust me, I'd love to have lower memory constraints.
Isn't this risky regarding industrial espionage? Also, what if the USA sanctioned China? Wouldn't it be bad if TSMC had a factory in the USA?
There are many differences between arguing and fighting. One that comes to mind is arguments ability to be productive.

I feel you've made an argument towards me with your comment, and it was welcome because you posed it rationally and without making it personal. It's impossible to pose a fight with a stranger rationally and impersonally, so I'm not sure that that analogy is a good fit.
Honestly, this doesn't read like Markov chain output. It feels more like a human writing what they think a Markov chain would do. Or maybe autogenerating a bit of it and then having the human riff on whatever nonsense the generator produced to fill in most of the song.

Cloud-Native Technologies for Career?
Are there many companies out there that are looking for people with expertise in cloud-native technologies? If so, are the roles limited to people with many years of experience? I am a junior software dev who has some experience with cloud-native technologies and want to do more projects in this area. My only concern is, are companies going to hire a junior software-dev who has experience with cloud-native technologies?
This is absolutely right. I'm handily beating the market with an automated strategy I designed to the point I've all but shut down my startup/programming consulting business. What the system trades, and what I understand intellectually is the right thing to do, is often very hard to stomach emotionally.

> My biggest gripe is that the games are all kind of vapid and on rails, there are no games where you can kind of go and explore

Some titles on the Quest are a bit better in that respect, but you still have to research the game to know. I think that's also a factor of how new the space is. It's much harder to allow users to roam where they want and still have the polish allowing them to interact how they want with the environment, it took quite a few years for that to happen in the traditional game space, both because of the effort required to craft that world, and because the engines were still working on abstractions that made it easy to fill those worlds with things that could be interacted with without too much programmer/artist work.

A good example of this is all the ways people have found for break Half-Life Alyx by working around the game expectations. People have found a way to hoard items, which would normally be hard to do because you have to actually hold them, but throwing them in buckets and bringing the bucket with you (for example, hauling around a bucket with 20 grenades in it, when normally you don't have a way to carry them all). If you put too many items in a bucket and pick it up, the physics system slows to a crawl and can crash the came. They designed the game so there weren't too many interactable objects in any one scene (because that makes sense), but the wholly new paradigm means that people were able to easily do crazy stuff to break it.

I've been meaning to pick up Arizona Sunshine for Quest, and that might be along the lines of what you're looking for (but not for Go). The Walking dead game is supposed to come to Quest eventually to (but again, the Go is unlikely), and the reviews of that looks pretty open for movement and exploration.
They may be thinking of IPFS, which is written in Go.
The title refers to web assembly memory limit. However, it’s mentioned javascript now supports up to 16 million terabytes of memory (equivalent to 4 jira tabs).

Why, what'd OP comment that required reporting?

Paraphrase is fine but I gotta know!
I disagree. I believe we've seen a sharp increase in political volatility worldwide, though it did not just happen, but has been happening since 2015. Up until about that point, the world had been dominated for a few decades by a relatively cohesive global consensus, which is now significantly more ragged.

But I don't think the terms are well-defined enough to really debate this. I don't think your perspective is any more right or wrong than mine, because what is meant by "political volatility" is poorly defined.

This is as they lay off in their lidar team.

There are too many LIDAR startups chasing too little market for LIDARs. The delay in self-driving cars reaching the market means automotive LIDARs are only selling in sample quantities. GM/Cruise may not need an in-house LIDAR unit.
Our little team has been doing just this, both for dogfooding and because it works well for us.

Take a look at the "mounts" section of the blog post where we describe a group pattern you can set up. You can create a group directory called "team-drive", then mount each user's drive into the group.

If you're using FUSE, this will feel similar to Dropbox, but with one directory per-user.

We're starting with these kinds of simple mounts, and brainstorming ways to extend them soon.

Not really a fair comparison.

Stock Market: you have access to the cap table, debt, overhang, etc.

Startup Equity: Unknown denominator. Unknown multipliers.

Stock Market: you can sell almost any time (unless you're trading penny stocks, etc.)

Startup Equity: you wait for a liquidity event, or hope your company is large enough to have an active secondary market.

Stock Market: you can buy/sell at any time

Startup Equity: you have the privilege of exercising an option into IL-liquid holding that you pay for now (sometimes forced to if you leave the company) but have little idea of the future value of.

To be fair, i'm working at a startup, I left a public company to do so. I'm here because I have huge impact on my product, I'm learning more, have more impact at the company level, low BS, low regulatory strangle, dynamic team, etc. I think it is rare to have positive expected value on startup equity unless 1. You are the founder or 2. It is a pre-IPO company. Your odds are probably better buying out-of-money NASDAQ Compsite options.

As a "full-stack" developer who started out on the backend and took on front-end work later in my career, I used to build back-to-front. You generally end up with a cleaner, more scalable, and stable solution. That nobody wants. I've learned this lesson the hard way.

Start with the UX and work your way backwards. I don't like it from an engineering perspective, but it's the only way to go to build products.

Users just do not care what kind of horrible kludge is running behind the slick UI.
Of course. I was being polite because I'm sure someone, somewhere, will defend it as the strategy that "worked" for them.

Would be nice if a lot of these soon to be vacant commercial properties from small businesses become botique office space a la wework, but direct from the landlord so there isn't any additional parasite to feed.

All I need is table space (which I lack in the apartment) and a couple $100 screens, maybe a printer and fax machine to use once a month and once a year, respectively.
Taxpayer-funded state-directed economic activity?
Are the preexisting logistics centers designed around picking up single items off the shelves? I would have expected them to be set up around bigger blocks of product.
It affects the departing employees quite a bit. In an economic crisis, laid-off employees don't have a stigma associated with them. In good times, others think, "wow these guys must have been real stinkers." And layoffs don't always hit the low performers. If a company is shutting down entire businesses, like shutting down their operations in a certain country, top performers in an unneeded business unit can get laid off.

AZ has been a semiconductor hub for decades. Intel, Motorola, ON and many others produce chips there. There is huge infrastructure and talent base for semiconductor manufacturing. Geographically, Chandler as a suburb of Phoenix has consistent weather, relatively cheap land, and access to water - as counter-intuitive as it sounds. I did my PhD in semiconductors at ASU and there might has well been a bus direct from the University to Intel.

Keep in mind, we're talking about PRODUCTION, not R&D. R&D happens elsewhere, this is just where the big plants go.

> “ also think that - apart from test scores - these kids are less likely to be forced to deal with folks different from themselves and a bit less likely to be introduced to concepts their parents disagree with.”

This is precisely why “homeschooling” is so dangerous.

It is also precisely WHY the majority of Americans who “homeschool” chose to do it. It is usually religious families, and they explicitly do it to isolate and “protect” their children from outside influences.
> This article suggests by end of next year, <$100/kWh. In percentage terms that's a big improvement, but even going by last year's estimates, only $8k out of the $40k price tag of a standard Model 3 is actually accounted for by the battery. So if that $8k drops to $4k, I can imagine the car price dropping to say $35k. But not more than that.

You're comparing manufacturing costs to retail prices. Presumably the battery has some kind of a markup on top of their production cost.

On top of that, you sell more cars if they cost $4000 less, right? So then you get more economies of scale, which lowers unit costs, which allows lower prices, which causes you to sell more cars, so then you get more economies of scale.
> Do fabs make their own silicon wafers?

(Did you mean ) The answer to that oscillates from "yes" to "no" all the time. Last time I saw, only the highest tech ones did that by themselves.

> Are silicon crystals for wafers made from sand relatively directly, or is it broken down and then reformed?

I don't completely understand that question. But silicon crystals are composed of pure silicon, while sand is composed of silicon oxide. On the cases where silicon is refined from sand (there are many kinds of silicon oxide), people reduce it with carbon in a furnace, like they do with iron. After refined it goes into further purification and in some cases a different process that solidifies it into a single crystal.

So there is a lot of processing.
