That's really not true. Memory bandwidth, just like memory capacity becomes a bottleneck when it is exceeded, but more doesn't automatically speed anything up. Java and python programs will likely be hopping around in memory and waiting on memory to make it to the CPU as a result.

Typically only multiple cores running optimized software that will run through memory making heavy use of the prefetcher will exceed memory bandwidth.

I'm curious about your arguments for how Uber/Lyft is preferable to rail.

I don't presume to know the right answer to this question, but it seems unlikely that Uber/Lyft will continue to exist in their current form indefinitely. Rail, on the other hand, appears to be a proven solution in many large cities.

Well, I think that Scrum (or, more widely, agile) can in fact be done "right" - done in a way that works well. So in one sense, "you aren't doing it right" is in fact a correct statement.

But then you look around, and you see how often it isn't done "right". If something is almost impossible to do "right", then yes, there may in fact be a problem.

The USSR always had a shortage of apartments, because of its inability to affordably hammer raw materials together into housing. It had no problems with parceling land into housing, though.

The USA has no problem hammering raw materials into houses, but it has a shortage of apartments because of its inability to affordably parcel out land into housing.

You need to be good at both, in order for housing to be affordable. However, it should be noted that affordable housing is not the goal of at least half the country - because that half of the country own houses (or mortgages for houses), and housing becoming affordable would financially destroy them.

So, in that sense, everything is working by design, and things will never change, if the government can help it.

I don't know how tongue-in-cheek that comment is but I am curious what the performance of these new ARM-powered Macs will be. I do photography on the side and Adobe Lightroom on the iPad Pro runs just about as fast (if not faster for some rendering and processing tasks) as it does on my MacBook Pro. How the heck this is possible is beyond me but it gives me hope that photo and video editing on an ARM-powered MacBook Pro could be faster, maybe even significantly faster, than my i9-powered MacBook Pro.
This seems to be a misunderstanding. Microsoft isn’t doing emulation. The iPad emulation of x86 on arm is faster than the surface arm without emulation.

This is a demonstration of how powerful Apple’s current silicon is in absolute terms, and it also shows that it can run x86 code at more than adequate speed for many use cases.

Thinking it over a bit more, there definitely are examples that seem to have been driven speculatively by Intel, and their application in industry is not clear. Optane is the one that strikes me as a thing that Intel decided they _could_ do, and then did. The companies where I have worked that considered Optane did so after Intel shipped it, they didn't do research that concluded they needed it before it existed. Also, I can't recall an instance where the TCO looked good for Optane.

But as for architectural extensions, there clearly are customers asking for these things, even TSX which has never worked.

Look at your computer screen. Really take it in. Where is the banner? Where is the exit button?

What is the color of your underwear?

Perhaps you will remember what color underwear you put on this morning, perhaps you will check, but it would be pretty weird if your underwear's color was constantly on your mind. Nevertheless, I doubt you would argue that your underwear did not have color while you weren't thinking of it.

Now open up an image of a pirate on your screen. Click on the window and drag it down until the bottom half is off the screen. What color are the pirate's trousers? The computer is only displaying a portion of the image, so technically the pirate's trousers don't exist. But nevertheless the data in the image file would suggest that the pirate does in fact have trousers of a certain color, even if that color is just a number.

You are correct that visual memory does not work like a photograph, but why would it? Your eyes don't send photographs via mail to a little post office in your head, your vision is a means of processing the signals of huge numbers of neurons firing together. Visual processing ought to the same circuits in the brain as vision, the fact that it behaves like vision is evidence that those circuits really are in use.

Of course what I imagine is an illusion, no one is proposing that simply by imagining an object it will manifest in reality. The point is that it is exactly the same sort of illusion as the one that my brain makes when I see real things, and thus my perception of my visual thoughts is the same as my perception of the visible world.
The risk of doing that is if an authoritarian regime gains power then they can effectively black list you from the financial system. This is absolutely an issue in certain countries.
It is horrible, you're right.

The parent comment implied it was evil to mistreat minorities - absolutely true. But in the article that was linked it mentions that they were treated better than the majority, and were now reduced to the same (horrible) treatment of the majority.

This is an altogether different crime due to mistakes in policy that lead to overpopulation. Would the Nazi Germans ever have let Jewish people have fewer restrictions and easier access to government positions? No. The comparison as presented here is untenable.

Running a full node is the only way to assure the integrity of the currency. Increasing the block size decreases the number of people that run full nodes.

Why are you trying to backpropagate over data augmentations? I've never done that (or heard about it being done). Usually I just do the augmentations on the input samples and then feed the augmented samples to the network.

Differentiable augmentations aren't necessary unless the augmentations are midstream (so you have to propagate parameters above the augmentations, which is weird) or have parameters (at which point you aren't learning how to work on different views of the same sample, you are learning how to modify a sample to be more learnable, which is a different problem that you are trying to solve).

Don't get me wrong, augmenting samples to reduce device bias is a hard problem, but you might be making it harder than it needs to be.
> 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?

In the case of VidAngel yes - you would buy a copy from VidAngel, stream it, then return it for the same amount sans a dollar fee. Vidangel would often run out of copies of popular shows to stream and they would alert you when that was the case and not let you stream it.
Can you give a motivating example for a website that isn’t Google to use portal? I’m not seeing it.

Something that I would actually use if it existed is an auto-height sizing iframe. Because that doesn’t exist, I have to hack around it with Pym.js. That would solve an actual need, unlike portal, which afaict only solves the “I want to be Google SER” usecase.
I'm sympathetic to this particular cause but not to the solutions a non-profit in SF like them would probably propose. (because generally a story like this is here for the lessons to be taken by others, not for their particular situation to be solved)

What we need is less picking and choosing who is to receive specific housing, and setting aside of property or units for them. Because all that picking and choosing by well-intentioned (but bad overall outcome producing) people is exactly what's creating the problem.

Everyone who has a special interest in preserving <x> or helping group <y> puts in their request to their San Francisco supervisor, solving their little corner of concern but making it worse for everyone else. One by one all the little barriers (unaware of what the other hands are doing) get erected to make it impossible to do anything productive for housing.

We need planning at a city strategy level, that admits that San Francisco cannot stay the way it has for decades, protecting the landlords and people who've lived there for 30 years from any kind of change. The tax situation is a given constraint, and we're not going to change that anytime soon barring a miracle, so the thing that has to be compromised is "neighborhood character" (whatever that means as a cover for not letting people live near you) or housing density and your spoiled view of the bay / Muni wires.

Specify what outcomes you want to achieve, and let the rules be updated to make that happen. Otherwise we will continue to be in a world where the external factors flooding in (lack of local leadership, jobs creation without housing creation, corporate money) will be making the decisions for us without us realizing it -- and a lot of unhappy people who want to live here but can't, or have been displaced from their housing.

My desired outcomes:

-- Affordable prices of the general rental and house purchase market (not "affordable housing")

-- Owners who actually live in their housing, and are not absentee landlords

-- Renewal of the creative, productive population and not creating of a rich / retired class that occupies all the housing

-- Good transport and home-work districts, and the attraction of small businesses

-- Ability of homeowners (and renters if desired) to easily and cheaply improve their properties and change the look and feel of their neighborhood for better/newer

I am not in favor of soft arguments that are disguised attempts to regulate who is allowed to live in a place according to some particular interest's judgment:

-- neighborhood character, density

-- equity-related arguments

-- "I got here first"-related arguments

-- what is "fair"

You will find that if you set up reasonable rules, the communities that emerge will be just as interesting, good, and pleasant places to live as before. They may not look the same, and may not be what you thought, and that may make some people unhappy. But it's what's best for a city.
Maybe you should consider telling your users not to get offended by machine generated semi-random strings of words.

While it's meaningless to discuss the written "law" because it's proven to be arbitrary, pay attention to article 38:

The law is applicable to non-HK nationals outside HK

This makes the law applicable to everyone on Earth.

To be fair, naming things is a pain. It's the same problem we have naming software/services (i.e. the neverending "Show HN"/launch posts with comments "this name conflicts with the following multiple other things").
> In China WeChat blocks direct links to their competitors. So apps like Taobao or Douyin have to find a workaround for deeplinks.

I'm going to start by saying "No they don't." They don't _have_ to do anything. They decided to.

> In WeChat the link is not clickable. To see the content user has to copy full text and go to the Douyin. The app will read the clipboard

They could have chosen to give you a place to put links without snooping your clipboard. That was a decision they made.

> I don't think they really made a pipeline for spying using clipboard.

Does the app spy on the user's clipboard? Yes. QED.

The site is only marginally aimed at developers, it is mostly for people in communication or marketing fields. Some of the ones I know are not even aware of the problem of content decay (lets call it that for now).

It is also about the mistakes the web community made while building the sites we use daily. Not assigning any blame, the web will always be uncharted territory.

Most of all, I wanted to write down that we saw good things being built. There are a lot of good reasons to keep moving forward.

Regarding tools, and as side note, that blog is running on https://goHugo.io , a static site generator, and uses the self hosted version of https://commento.io to manage comments. It’s my way of trying to make it future-proof.

I see you're using React on the frontend. And, you only have an iOS app but not (yet) an Android app. Are you not using React Native? In that case it's fairly easy to target both platforms. I know RN is a bit of a shitshow but not supporting the biggest mobile platform in the world is arguably worse

> We gather "tag" and "description" metadata for articles even though it isn't currently displayed in the UI.

If you're taking this metadata directly from the articles I'm skeptical about the accuracy/completeness. Anyway, it's better than nothing I guess

> It's not a perfect filter by any means, but keep in mind that even if an article title looks like clickbait it will only rank highly if users are finishing it

This is something, but still high-quality articles with clickbait titles will outcompete high-quality articles without clickbait titles. Incentive still being: write clickbait titles. Anyway, if someone is 0.25x as likely to finish a bad article having clicked it, but 10x more likely to click a clickbait article, you still have a major problem beyond "not perfect", imo

I know it's a big ask for you to solve every single problem with online reading/discussion but this one is so tangled with the rest it's kinda hard to ignore.

Today's AOTD: "If Everyone Else is Such an Idiot, How Come You're Not Rich?"

From the past few weeks, some selections:

- "Meet the social media echo chamber that is radicalizing you & your friends. - Alexa Rohn"
- "Racism Is Terrible. Blackness Is Not."
- "A White Woman, Racism and a Poodle"
- "The American Press Is Destroying Itself"
- "Dear Fuck Up: How Do I Figure Out What I Want in Life When Every Day Feels the Same?"
- "You Should Be Feeling Miserable"
- "Tom Cotton: Send In the Military"
- "The Sickness in Our Food Supply"

I'm sure some of these are great, but be honest: did the title have anything to do with people clicking through?

The idea now is not to separate thing by file type (all .js go here, html goes there) but to separate by logical components, thing that work together, go together.

That has its problems tho, that for sure.

This deserves a much better answer, but I'll just say this for now. Svelte is declarative/imperative (but mostly imperative) and also not based on functional principles. React is definitely more on the declarative side. And Hyperapp is essentially Elm in JavaScript, so it's as declarative/functional/immutable as the definition allows for.

Maybe the person that said Svelte was more declarative was only familiar with an older incarnation of Hyperapp that wasn't completely based on functional principles, or maybe they're using a more loose but inaccurate definition of declarative (kind of like how people often say "theory" when they actually mean "hypothesis").
