I think I have to disagree with you on this one, I've used the scientific method (though not in an explicit checkbox-y way) plenty of times to ship and debug code.

In particular, since (as I've said on this forum many times) I work primarily on the maintenance end of software. I don't know what the creators or previous developers were thinking, especially with more recent projects (documentation quality has really gone down hill, people call autogenerated UML diagrams "design docs", but without commentary they only reflect the state of the system, not its design). I have to try different changes based on my understanding of the system and see the consequences. That is, I form a hypothesis about what will happen if I do X, I do it, I collect the results and I've either confirmed my hypothesis, refuted it, or left it in an indeterminate state. I form another and repeat. Over time I build up a model (theory) of how the system behaves and should be updated/extended. Since I can't keep tens of thousands of lines of code in my head, let alone hundreds of thousands or millions, I always only have a model (theory), because I never have the totality of it in my mind. Though good code, with good use of modules, makes it easier to keep large chunks in mind, I still have to have a model of how those modules work and work together.

Hell, this is half (or more) of testing for older software systems. You put in some input and see if you get the output you expected. If you don't, you evaluate why (is my model wrong or is the system wrong) and repeat.
I wouldn't expect a pi5 any time soon. Maybe another revision of the pi4 or a new compute module system that allows a proper pi4 compute module (apparently not enough pins on the sodimm form factor they use currently to give the pcie lanes and other things the processor supports).
My solution is to never answer or listen to voicemails from unknown numbers.

The system works, except when my kids are at school and my paranoia makes me assume every call is about them.
You’re confusing Sony with Nintendo there. Sony have always been very open to third parties, albeit it in a very tightly controlled way. Would make sense to deploy their model massively
Not exactly. It is far more random than that. As far as I can tell, it plays random notes from a pre-loaded scale - occasionally chords, and punctuation marks play chords. Backspace plays a descending scale.

The aesthetics of it, including typography and sounds are very nice.

And typing () leads to a special easter egg :)

I have that installed and it works really well! But H.264 only goes up to 1080p on YouTube as of a couple of years ago. As mentioned in other comments, I prefer 2.7K or 4K and downsample to get higher bitrate, but this isn't possible without downloading and converting. (I only do that for the rare video where I really want the best quality; most of the time I tolerate the YouTube 1080p with h264ify).
In the U.S. you can be fired for no reason, so the hypothetical trial period is basically just hiring people without interviewing them and then firing them as soon as you realize you made a mistake.
David, in my work in China, I often get surprising realisations like "this factory makes 90% of these widgets in the world" while the factory in question may look like a dusty shed. The "super-centralisation" phenomenons are all around.

People may think that simple, generic items may gravitate to competitive markets, but with modern manufacturing equipment, even very small factories can have sky high productivity.

At around 2014, I was working on arranging manufacturing for one netbook design, and I went to South China to pick suppliers for mechanical parts.

A company called RKX hinge was the biggest notebook, and cellphone hinge maker in the world with more than half of global market share. To my surprise, they did not have a website at the time, not even a sign on the door.

They were a small, 2 storey factory in Baoan, with an office on the factory floor, and "a warehouse space" made of dangerously tall pyramids of boxes in the corner of shop floor.
Pressure for that came from Microsoft for Windows 8 certified devices:

"Enable/Disable Secure Boot. On non-ARM systems, it is required to implement the ability to disable Secure Boot via firmware setup. A physically present user must be allowed to disable Secure Boot via firmware setup without possession of PKpriv. A Windows Server may also disable Secure Boot remotely using a strongly authenticated (preferably public-key based) out-of-band management connection, such as to a baseboard management controller or service processor. Programmatic disabling of Secure Boot either during Boot Services or after exiting EFI Boot Services MUST NOT be possible. Disabling Secure Boot must not be possible on ARM systems."[1]

This requirement is no longer needed for Windows 10 logo certified x86_64 computer,[2] but I've yet to see a vendor actually take it out.

For SOC systems, at least if you wish to have Windows 10 Logo, it makes it optional if I'm reading their spec sheet correctly:

"Requirement 10: OPTIONAL. An OEM may implement the ability for a physically present user to turn off Secure Boot either with access to the PKpriv or with Physical Presence through the firmware setup. Access to the firmware setup may be protected by platform specific means (administrator password, smart card, static configuration, etc.)"[3]

That said, that's only for Windows logo certified devices. I'd assume if you don't intend to make you system Windows compatible then you can do whatever you want.

Have yet to receive a solid response to this comment the last 5 times I've posted it, but, I think Fukushima residents would disagree.
Since the modern Linux kernel doesn't make any promises of 486 support there's very likely plenty of places inline assembly uses instructions unavailable on a 486.

So even if you compiled it with strict -march i486 you'd end up with unsupported instructions. Modern GCC also doesn't like emitting strict i386 or i486 code anymore so you'd be likely to end up with unsupported instructions even without any inline assembly.
For those who don’t want to have to wear a mask to the grocery store this might be the option for them.
That means those teams will have to fire a majority of their workforce, no?
Google benefits from SEO because those most willing to game the system are also running the most ads. They have no incentive to make search work as well as it did in the past.
Of course he did. 10% more or less of it for the same amount of electricity doesn't make the difference between a manageable problem and an insurmountable one. (It's a manageable problem, obviously.)
HN really needs tagged filters on submissions so i can ignore all 'general' news stories. So many non-tech, non-startup or non-'intellectual' stories hitting front page.
I read this as being to do with a crisis (Brexit / Covid-19) being an opportunity, particularly with an 80-seat majority. But I share your deep cynicism about their ability to actually make any productive use of that, and in fact expect the opposite - a deeper crisis.
> I think Apple should be thanking the Raspberry Pi world for showing what you can do with SoCs, and for driving so much software to already be ported to the ARM processor.

With all due respect, I love my raspberry pi, but Apple just needs to thank whoever was in charge of acquiring PA Semi’s know how in 2008, along with the chip mastermind that is Johni Srouji. Or themselves from 1990, when they actually founded ARM as a joint venture with Acorn computers to make chips for the Newton.
Coffee Run
Creative tooling has come a long way in 40 years. We’ve got blender, unity, sketchup etc - even minecraft now that I think of it. I’m not talking about BASIC and assembly but basically opening up the platform for the development of this kind of tooling and charging to use it the same as they do gaming presently and controlling the distribution similarly
Even if you don’t care much about your own privacy, take a moment to consider whether the entire population should lose their privacy as well, and what that sort of world could look like if a bad leader took over (or just at China). The issue isn’t just about personal consequences
100%, I was worried I'd seem like an old 35-year-old man when I posted my comment. And it's true, I upgrade my hardware much less frequently than I did when I was younger.

I don't mind replacing a machine after 8 years of service, but h.265 still isn't supported by Google/YouTube, and Apple refuses to add hardware decoding for VP8/VP9, so there's no universal codec that will work as efficiently as h.264 did on my Mini and multitude of MacBooks and iPhones all this time.
I assume it’s final assembly

Those numbers are pretty generous, I would beg to differ on at least some of them. [1][2][3]

My mistake when you mentioned ground effect, I thought you meant sealed (skirts and fans). The ground effect you mean is already a thing in present F1 thanks to diffusers. The new rules have just made the diffuser bigger and simplified the front and rear wings.

Tuition is $60k/year or 240 total. If the average grant is 53k, then that means the average cost is 187k.

I went to a school with this weasel language all over their content. My kid was offered $3k/year in financial aid because the school said I should pay 65% of my annual gross to cover tuition.

It’s nice that they have some token poor and working class, but Harvard is for the rich...

“ According to The New York Times, the median family income of a student from Harvard is $168,800, and 67% of students come from the highest-earning 20% of American households. About 15% come from families in the top 1% of American wealth distribution.” [0]

Nepotism means showing favoritism towards family members, e.g., a nephew hired or promoted instead of a more qualified person.

Sorry to nitpick. I just see that word misused a lot online. I doubt that you're implying that a person would be effectively disowned by family members for taking a semester of their Harvard MBA program online instead of on site.
First of all the assumption of nuclear being low carbon is really doubtful. Nuclear requires fuel and uranium mining is a very expensive and dirty process. The real carbon impact on nuclear depends largely on the quality of the uranium ore and for bad quality ores the impact maybe worse than natural gas.

See here for more details. https://theecologist.org/2015/feb/05/false-solution-nuclear-...

Furthermore, the massive risks of nuclear are inescapable for any right-thinking person. Furthermore, the almost eternal nuclear waste problem is still there and still has not been solved.

Furthermore, even if gas is more carbon intensive it is better overall, because it allows for zero carbon generation like solar and wind to flourish. Because gas can be used to compensate when there is no wind and no sun. Nuclear is absolutely useless in these cases because it is very slow to start up and turn off. The fact that nuclear is "24/7" is not actually a positive thing when you want to to work with cheap solar/wind energy.

Eventually we will develop suitable storage solutions but until then gas is a good interim solution.
I guess you're just woefully uninformed then. There are community college classes that could help with that.
Wow, this looks impressively fast at very reasonable recall rates in the ANN-benchmarks. It seems to leave faiss and nmslib in the dust. Pulling up the arXiv paper as we speak to figure out what these guys are doing to achieve such impressive results.
Tesla already does this to an extent with Autopilot/Full Self Driving, as well as rear heated seats on Model 3 Standard Range/SR+ and the Performance boost on Long Range. Although those are all currently flat upgrades, Musk confirmed that a FSD subscription will be available at some point. Premium Connectivity is also a subscription offering, giving access to some map upgrades and streaming media.

There's actually quite a few things that are software-locked on the Standard Range line with no upgrade path. The footwell lights, for instance, as well as fog lights on early models (current ones don't have them installed anymore).
My sense is that the awareness and participation is so low that ESCOs don't really make a difference. There's essentially no competition of the kind you see in other countries.

In Norway (my native country), there's a wealth of national providers, lots of competition, and it's easy to find the rates, and also super easy to switch. Pretty much everyone paying utility bills is aware of the choice, and most people don't choose their default infrastructure provider because they're usually much more expensive.

When I rented in NYC, I had the option of using ConEd or an ESCO. ConEd was always cheaper, because they already negotiate the best rates on the open market. I could choose a "green" provider, but I'd be paying 20% more.
> It was just, I guess, experience and skill.

Lab technique is definitely a thing. Mostly it's about knowing what not to pay attention to so that you can give extra attention to the things that matter. It's also about recognizing the intermediate signals that say "Yep, still good." (ie. Are the bubbles the right size? Is the foam the right color? Does it smell right/wrong? Did a layer of glop form at the correct step?)

However, I rarely see anyone taking good enough notes to reproduce an experiment. I had a Physics Lab taught by a professor who would randomly take someone's notebook in an assignment and reproduce the experiment using your notes--and fail you on that assignment if he couldn't.

Very few students ever passed that. You really have to be excessively meticulous. However, when you are debugging a real experiment without a known correct answer, if you aren't that meticulous you will never find your own bugs.
Very cool. Slight correction though:

>“It was a Trojan Horse for us, with an aim of selling the brand and getting a supplier contract,” he says.
As in the Iliad, the plan worked.

The Trojan Horse isn't actually in the Iliad, it's in the Little Iliad, a now lost epic poem.
I think one is not the same as the other. The intention is to get an education, the benefit is avoiding Iranian military service. That analysis has no basis in federal law, so no, it’s not the governments responsibility.
Most of the available training for this stuff is vendor-specific, vendor-provided and really expensive to undertake. Indeed, many vendors have solution provider networks who will prefer to do this programming for you, because it is so unintuitive/dangerous/error-prone.

You can, however, learn the control systems by grabbing and reading the manuals. Look for manufacturers then seek out manuals. Many are online though they are often not the latest edition as some manufacturers now seek to keep this internal to paying customers.

All the systems I have seen use G-Code variants with manufacturer specific extensions. Many now offer GUIs to help with spatial planning, multi-machine integration, common code generation, etc. However, at the end of the day it is still nearly all about generating/writing/modifying/replaying stored G-Code.
That would provide fairly strong evidence that it was actually being deleted.
You should probably tell that to Mr. Lee :)
Anyone know what in particular the 486SX had that the 386 didn’t to make keeping only the former alive practical? Unfortunately the kernel mailing list link in the zdnet article appears to be rotted away.
Yes. Ferrari has said they’re looking at entering other racing series (maybe IndyCar), but nothing confirmed.

No, it will not be reintroduced. There is no use for it. That belongs in a fork.
No, that's x86.

They dropped 386 support, but a 486 still works.
I think that a lot of people are doing online ordering with instore pickup. I am pretty sure that will count as online grocery sales. But then you drive to walmart, open your trunk and let a human load it in your car.
The link in my comment has no fewer than 13 peer-reviewed sources for you to check out in the description pane.
Really interesting comment, I know a bit about the salary-man culture with business men asleep in subways/alleys as they had dinner drinking sessions that extended past the last subway ride back to their home stations. I wonder how this practice came to be culturally? Was it something that manifested after WWII where the country felt like it needed to 'catch up' to the US and other allied countries? Or was this always a thing there? As for paper, calligraphy is a revered art form there, as well as stationary and writing letters. So being really into paper and forms does not surprise me.

Hi, I'm the lead on walking dream. There have been a couple of other games I've seen that have implemented version of this, though using very different approaches. However, most were closer to tech demos, without a full game experience.
I wouldn't say that being found in nature means that something is not made up. Issus coleoptratus evolved gears long before humans invented them, yet gears seem purely phenomenal -- I wouldn't expect the noumenon to have anything directly corresponding to gears in it, "gear" is just a useful concept we have that lets us categorize part of an insect or a bicycle (both of which are made up themselves, of course).

There may be discrete math in the noumenon, but I'm not convinced of that. For all I know the noumenon could be dealing in something else entirely, and math might just be a really useful tool we came up with (like classical physics, and probably modern physics). Math is the simplest case you can make, but I don't see a compelling reason to accept it as a given.
Ultimately, the author rejected the use of regression by using an eyeball test.

Eyeball tests are not rigorous, and can be misleading. Further, the purpose of regression is not just to obtain the slope via least squares in the case of obvious relationships, but to provide a test of the null hypothesis (slope = 0) of weaker, but theoretically interesting relationships.

This type of amateur (and wrong) statistics article shouldn't be making it to the top of HN.
I've just become a lot lazier
My whole post was about how "income" doesn't factor in the liabilities and obligations or cost of living of anyone. Why would you respond with that reductionist answer? Why would a university penalize a student whose parents won't shift their budget, and that's assuming it is so simple?

I also asked a specific question, which you completely skipped, while doubling down on a fairness argument that this thread wasn't even about. You act knowledgeable in the matter and then aren't able to dive in, only defend your position. Its fine to say "I don't know", but right now what are you doing?

Were you saying that Harvard's "affordability" was anywhere close to the $3,000 tuition / semester I ended up paying? And that's because Harvard routinely makes up any number based on a variety of financial variables (which aren't as simple as "income") and ultimately feelings?
I thought I would be familiar enough with Blue in Green to get the tempo right, but my memory was no match for Bill Evans' improvisational style!
Well yes, of course, international students pay significantly more than in state. Money makes the university go round, that’s how the Confucius Institutes got started.
There was a Nethack floopy for 3.4.3 (still played a lot by tons of people) which was booted up from a tiny Linux floppy. Amazing. It may work under a 486. Search for "nehabodi".

I think this was just a bad summarization of the selling point for spas. This solution, coming from yeast, is carbon net negative (as they mention further down in the article) and reduces demand for a product of petroleum which might lead to more staying in the ground. The spa can then claim a lower carbon footprint which I imagine is very marketable.
So unless you are paying an above local market rate, why would I as an in demand developer go through that when I could do one phone screen and one in person interview and get a job that pays just as much?

My entire interview process for BigTech was only six hours and because of Covid, it was fully remote.

Rating systems can be gamed, but micro-rewards and reward-limiters could subdue this effect if tied to some proof-of-individual system which also enhances the community. IRL; standup comedians get rewards, and patrons add to the entertainment thru feedback and therefore enhance the event.

But to your main point; Are creators/contributors more authentic when struggling to survive, or more authentic when their time/reward matches their basic needs? Are we motivated by rewards, or does lack thereof restrict our production? It depends on individual circumstance or character, or some raw potential of the network effect which has few winners if poorly designed.
>Everyone in the US knows that there are other undesirable outcomes besides death

You can't really believe that. Maybe a small fraction of the population seems to be aware of this. The rest parrot some version of: "95% of people survive, its just the flu!"
> Do you have any insight into why more people don't take advantage of that opportunity?

Because they correctly value the learning to be worth ~$X,000, but the accreditation to be worth ~$YZ,000.

When you put things that way, the 20-40 hours/week of time that goes into getting an education becomes a lot less of a good investment, if the only payoff is that you get to learn.
Who says Youtube's recommendation engine is how these video's reach prominence? I've seen videos posted here, on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc. There are networks that creators collaborate on and share data other than Youtube after all.
Again, it’s just a “fuck you” to students who grew up in an upper middle class household in a high CoL area.

Harvard’s assumption that the parents can shill out tens of thousands for their kid is just dumb. They don’t realistically take into account parents that don’t care much about education, large families, parents with lots of debt, etc.
