The problem is a lot of tasks that people want their CPU to be fast at is exactly stuff that parallelizes almost embarrassingly well. Compiling code, video rendering, compressing files. People buying CPUs for this are not as concerned about how many cycles it takes to jump through a vtable as long as its not slow.

Meanwhile, pointing at memory latency as the flaw in Ryzen has been a popular misdirection for a while now. People warned me about it being a performance pitfall since before I bought my first Ryzen processor. In practice it doesn’t show up in even the most complexity intensive workloads as a serious issue. For example, Zen 2 performs very well on hardware emulation. This is possibly because where it takes a hit in memory latency it makes up in caching and prefetching, but honestly I don’t know and I am not sure how to measure. In any case it’s certainly favorably comparable to Intel’s best chipsets in single core workloads even if not on top. Factor in price and multicore workloads and you now have the exact reasons why people like me have been singing the praises... Intel’s single core lead may exist in some form but it is not what it once was, it is not an unconditional lead where an Intel core beats an AMD core. Not even close.

None of this means Intel’s dead of course, but IMO thats mostly because they have a lot more going on than just being the best CPU. They’ve got their dedicated GPU coming out, and plenty of ancillary technology as well. It does seem like for a company like Intel having to take a backseat in CPUs for a while will be painful; unlike AMD, this is a new position for Intel and maybe not one they will handle well.
> They still have 7nm and 14nm manufacturing businesses...

I'm pretty sure they have their 14nm business, and are working really hard to get a 7nm manufacturing business? A quick search gives me news articles about Intel hoping to have 7nm working by 2021.
It can go the other way too, they don't buy it to drive in inclement conditions, but once they have it they increase their driving in inclement conditions because "4x4s can go in any conditions".

4x4 drivers might do offroading: so the figures could be much lower than if those people had 4x2 (2wd) vehicles.
> Will the lifeguards who always used this system will be trained and not panic when the system will fail, for example because of a power outage?

Lifeguards in that situation can "fail safe" by ordering everybody out of the water.

Just have to.

So long as that is the requirement it won't be done, nobody will do it. You need to find a different starting place.

Start by not requiring buildings be far apart and have parking. Right not the neighborhood you envision isn't legal to build if you want to. Make it legal.

Make tax codes encourage building high. Charge higher taxes for the ground floor.

Allow everyone to build by right (meaning no public hearings, permits must be approved by buerocrats) up to the road/sidewalk or property line.

Even if the building is setback from the property line require the outside walls be built to up the lot line on all sides standards. That means fireproof if the building next door burns. That means can be demolished without anything falling to the outside, or even a need to do anything outside to demolish it.

For bonus points define places where a door to the next building must be located. (you might never visit your neighbors that way but the door still exists and can be repurposed to a public walkway when you leave and the new owner has other ideas.

Not that impressive.
It's all about the money. There's major pressure on large cooperations to boycott Facebook at the moment due to their position on hate speech, and many companies have joined the boycott. Companies have been taking looks at their advertising and it seems like major ad buyers have decided they don't want to have their ads shown on websites that allow this type of content.

I would guess the timing was the same, because a major ad buyer sent them the same message on the same day or they were all thinking about it and once one pulled the trigger they all felt like they had to/could follow suite.

I'm not sure I buy the argument that it targets one political side. Reddit's main ban yesterday was its most active leftist subreddit. The bottom line is these bans will target anything that hurts these companies' ad revenue.
>It was a promising device and seemed to me like it had great niche applications (such as medical)

Medical what? I actually had an early version of the armband and SDK, and apart from it just not working well, it aggravated my latent repetitive stress injury, just playing around with it. More importantly, though, it was a solution in search of a problem. There was no real use-case for it.
Having generated user passwords with dictionary[random()] a few times, I can tell you you will get angry users moaning about the fact you defaulted their password to "You Fat Pig", or "Dumb Looks".

By this definition, no lawyer can be on the wrong side - you know what is meant by the phrase ‘wrong side of the law’ stop it with the mental gymnastics.
It is but there isn’t a good fix that satisfies everyone.

Even the USSR had private apartments for people who didn’t want to live in multi-family per apartment arrangements (communal apartments). Obviously not everyone could afford private apartments —very few could, buy they existed because even with all the resources of a top down bureaucracy they could not meet the needs of the people.

> I think the “in emulation” bit uncertain. I think this got AOT translated to armv8.

The benchmark is measuring the performance of Geekbench running in Rosetta, which is the emulation layer allowing x86_64 code to run under Apple’s ARM chip. Are you saying you don’t trust that the benchmark is actually running under Rosetta, or are you claiming that Rosetta doesn’t count as “true” emulation because it performs some translation AOT?

> Also not very apples-to-apples comparison.

How so? The benchmark is between Apple’s flagship tablet CPU and Microsoft’s flagship tablet CPU, with the additional handicap that Apple’s chip is running the code through an emulation layer in order to demonstrate the impressive performance of Rosetta. How is the comparison unfair?
I think it shows the limit of time-based normalization. E.g. hunting and snowmobiling come out very safe per hour, but a typical participant might spend many more hours in those activities.

IMHO, yes. This is why some folks (like myself) find it hard to wholeheartedly embrace JS for building entire apps.
I may be misunderstanding this case, but the impression I get is that they are not defending the unlimited lending that IA did as part of their "National Emergency Library" (NEL). They are just defending the earlier "Controlled Digital Lending" (CDL) program where the number of copies lent out at any one time was limited to the number of physical copies in the physical libraries [1].

The lawsuit is going after both NEL and CDL. The defense is trying to save CDL.

I don't think VidAngel is necessarily relevant here because VidAngel was making derivative works.

[1] If someone checked out a physical copy, did they reduce the number of digital copies that could be out until the physical copy was returned?

To be fair they're both 8 core big.LITTLE processors but the Apple chip is running the benchmark under x86 emulation and thus isn't able to use asymmetric cores, only the four performance ones.
Backup as in backing up one perkeep instance to another is the "pk sync" command (https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/blob/master/cmd/pk/sync.g...).

source blobs missing from destination into the destination server.

Commodity GPU's and before that playstations were used by researchers for their excellent parallel computing performance. So the influences go both ways.
It makes fans of Apple feel better about how much more superior their platform is over the others. That's mostly the gist of it in most of these debates - the comparisons are usually pretty meaningless and cherry-picked to make a writers favorite brand look better.

The more interesting comparison is just how much better the ARM macs will be from the x86 ones in comparable workloads and power consumption. Seeing the Apple ARM cores being able to show all they can with proper cooling and less power limitations is something we've been waiting for awhile.
> I think part of it was that growing up I truly believed the content I put on the internet would stick around. I didn't understand why things needed to be archived for posterity—the sites that were seemed to deserve such a fate anyway.

Maybe this is where a lot of us fall short. Free and easily available content is easy to take for granted since there is an abundance of it, like the discussions here on HN. So we ignore capturing it with an underlying assumption that it will be available again in the future.

To be fair, this could be addressed via a firmware enforced write protect switch on the drive... or an electronically settable ball-point-pen resettable write-breaker.

There are company now that sell drives with special WORM firmware.

I love tape but the economics of tape really just don't look good today. The patent litigation over LTO8 basically assured that. Whole nearline SATA drives are significantly less expensive per byte than LTO8 tapes, even ignoring LTO drive/library costs.
Is that a typo, or do you teally mean cycling and walking are significantly worse than traveling by car? Are both of those activities actually more dangerous? I would have thought cycling and walking - even in urban settings! - are safer activities than driving, statistically.
Ugh, yes; one of the perks of an Intel monoculture was that at least you only had one target to worry about, and inter-generational quirks were mostly limited to minor things. Now we have to deal with "this was optimized for (Intel|AMD) and doesn't work on (AMD|Intel)" and "the devs tested this on their x86 laptops and then it got weird when we went to run it on ARM" and "ARM is less of a platform and more of a collection of kinda-similar-looking systems that are mostly compatible". Don't get me wrong, I'll take this over a monoculture, especially an Intel monoculture, but there are some bumps on the road to a more diverse ecosystem.
Do you know what 'residential fire' means? I'm imagining a scenario where my residence is on fire, which would seem to be high-risk (but is somehow the lowest risk).
The problem is the unpredictability and the nature of the feedback.

Living creatures are not industrial processes. Each one is unique and will behave differently. So while you can draw some generalisations, you can't safely put a machine in ultimate control, or even in a position to provide unreliable feedback. Even industrial processes aren't usually automated in their entirety and usually have 24/7 oversight; "simple" PID loops can misbehave, and this is far more complex with many more variables. The consequences here are death at one extreme and extreme suffering at the other, and so the stakes are too high to delegate it to a machine. This isn't some theoretical problem--a life is literally on the line and machines can not hold responsibility for a life.

Also note that answering the questions of "is the animal conscious", "is the animal in respiratory distress", "is the animal in pain", "are the core reflexes functioning" or "have the core reflexes stopped functioning" all require complex assessment, which a machine can't do. And if any of those are true or false, the complex dynamics make the decision of giving more or less anaesthetic dose a very complex question to answer. If anything goes wrong, it requires intelligent and informed decisions to be made. In some circumstances that includes killing with an overdose for ethical and legal reasons. It would be unethical and cruel to let a machine make decisions of such consequence.

Having another life in your hands is a huge burden. It's both humbling and scary to be given such power and responsibility over another living being, and having done it I'd have to say I find the notion of giving a machine control or even moderate influence over the process grossly irresponsible. Automating every last aspect of our existence is a horrifying concept. Some things need humans in absolute control, and this is one of them. And I say this as someone who eventually became an software engineer for embedded medical diagnostic devices. Think about the ethics of what you are suggesting.

No, the criminal in the above is absolutely on the wrong side of the law. That's the assumption after all.

Lawyers are on the wrong side of the law when they break it themselves (see, e.g., Avenatti), but not when they represent people on the wrong side of the law. The latter is necessary for the common law court system to work at all.

That’s not how large transfers work at all though. Banks have international agreements, or go through 3rd parties that have. You’ll also never be expected to pay right then and there, if you’re a respectable enterprise entity, the other part will expect you to pay and the funds to arrive within reasonable time, which can be half a year later.

As for the transfers themselves, they are typically free. You’re such a big customer to the bank, and so is the recipient to their bank, that the banks are earning their money without taking transfer fees.

The most important part, and the reason things like bitcoin will never replace old school banking, is that you can roll the money back or cancel if you decide to walk away from the deal like Norwegian just did for 90something Boeing aircraft that they can no longer afford because of corona. Sure you’ll spend a few years in legal, but that’s besides the point.

With so few data points in the anecdote, there are many narratives you can apply to it that all fit, each with it's own little facet of truth.

One that resonates with what I'm going through in my life right now is that it seems that US culture optimizes for preventing unexpected bad experiences with the consequence that unexpected good experiences are lost too. There is very little serendipity to life in the US today. When you get a couch from Ikea, you know exactly how it's going to go. Every meal at McDonald's is like every meal there you've ever had.

There are, of course, pockets of delight you can find. But, overall, it seems that our culture has trended towards risk-aversion, safety, familiarity. There's a sort of constant infantilization going on where we're trained to believe we can't handle surprises and thus we should avoid them. Millions of adults read nothing but "Young Adult" fiction. All of our biggest box office movies are comic book adaptations. Millions are on anti-anxiety medication.

Because we avoid taking risks, we never learn to handle them. We never witness ourselves being resilient and gain the self-respect that that garners. So the feedback loop keeps us nestled tighter and tighter in our bubbles.
