It's an ad network.

There is nothing stopping other browsers to adopt it. There is nothing stopping other companies to create a similar alternative. There is nothing stopping a publisher to get an advertisement deal and place an ad on their website; as long as it does not use third-party cookies or tracks you in any way, it won't be blocked.

Look, I am not trying to sell you anything ok? I don't work at Brave and I am not interested in doing shilling for any specific cryptotoken. It's okay if you want to say "I don't want to pay for content that I am now getting for free. It's also okay to say "I don't mind having my data exploited in exchange of a few dollars that can go to content producers and publishers".

The only things that you are saying that are total BS is that (1) ad-tech is less of threat to privacy than a digital economy based on crypto and (2) that no alternative currently exist.

Your argument against usage of cryptocurrency for payments is just concern trolling. You are presenting a very, very unlikely hypothetical (companies might be required to collect user data to accept payments) in order to justify the status quo. Likewise, you are making these near-impossible demands from a company that has a fraction of the market share on a trillion dollar industry while having no qualms with all of the ethical violations from the dominant oligarchy. Again, concern trolling.

It's not a matter of Earth becoming uninhabitable. You're right that it would take a lot to do that, though it is possible with a large enough asteroid or some unexpectedly fast acting runaway greenhouse effect. The problem is of human civilization continuing at its current level and continuing to advance. Any number of small disasters could set us back hundreds if not thousands of years. We have direct evidence and record of this happening multiple times throughout human history so we know it can and probably will happen. That's why we need a self-sustaining society elsewhere, preferably far enough away to resist whatever disaster causes Earth to fall.

In an ideal case they should be able to express their opinions and people wouldn't extrapolate them to the respective employer.

Journalists not able to express themselves freely because of guilt by association would be a huge problem and being able to do so provides extra information that can put articles in context.

Another fact worth mentioning is that large publishers all have a direct business relationship with social media companies, primarily Facebook I believe. Some better newspapers were transparent about it and lamented this fact as a necessity in the current news market.

Thanks to companies generally having no backbone and disciplining employees for social media use or generally for their opinions, we are at this bad situation. If they just had ignored the complaints...

All that said, the opinions of the most outspoken journalists often seem very predictable and in many cases they actually argued in favor of accountability by social media use by writing their outrage articles about some random tweets. I think a lot of those have missed their profession... Didn't take disclaimers like "opinions are my own" too seriously, but apparently they might be needed for some journalists at least.
And it will be crap. What I want, and I'm sure a lot of other devs interested in making C# GUI multi-platform apps, is an UI framework à la Flutter that display the same thing everywhere. In the days of Electron apps not having a native look and feel is not a really problem anymore.

The saddest thing is that Microsoft actually offered that years before: Silverlight Out-of-Browser applications, that where running the same on Windows and Mac OS.

Was either Node v10 or v12 (I suspect the latter), as it was in december 2019 or so and I tended to use latest stable. Await in REPL definitely didn't work, maybe there's tooling to fix that? Unfortunately Node is not my main, or even third-line tool, but I had to work with Strapi and it was definitely a common issue that I couldn't use "await" on a function.
Probably the most important part of a journalist's work is building sources and chasing stories, which is largely done privately (DMs, etc) for obvious reasons. This analysis misses that.

The public face of journalists on twitter is primarily to build personal brand, broadcast, and generate leads for private scoops via their brand and strategically discussion of particular topics. Much of the reason for journalists smaller bubble is they're building each other up professionally, rather than just hanging out and chatting like most other twitter users. I think this study might be confusing these two very different use cases.

Many years ago, I had a good friend named Frances who lamented the fact that people generally could not keep it straight that Frances is a girl's name and Francis is a boy's name. Rembering that friend, I clicked on the link to check the gender because people don't always follow the rules about such things and because I was short of sleep and wondering if I was even remembering that correctly.

Given my reason for clicking the link, I believe it's the first time I've seen her mentioned on HN. I likely would have clicked on any article with the name Frances in the title and remembered the name if I had ever seen it before.

Because I'm a woman, I actively keep my eye out for female role models. I have a fairly strong math background (for the world at large -- not for the HN crowd) and spent some time looking up info on Maryam Mirzakhani, the first female Fields Medalist, and even blogged about it at the time.

Given my interest in female role models and my personal association with the name Frances, I think I would have known the name had I ever seen it before. It would have likely stuck with me.

I've been here eleven years. It seems I've never seen her name before. And, in fact, if you search for it, it comes up (in the titles section, as part of a description, not really a title) only once ten years ago (until the past 24 hours).

It is a bit odd that there is no mention of the awful security problems like Spectre and Meltdown which mostly hit Intel and was very poorly handled by them.

As a consumer i care way more about my CPU actually working as advertised and not some Specre mitigation killing the performance.

The price performance ratio of AMD is just better, nobody cares about some weird extension if i can have a Threadripper with a bazillion cores for less money doing the same stuff. Even only for marketing reasons.

And GPUs stole the vector cake years ago anyway.
Rest assured that you can make the numbers even worse by using a VPN thus requiring even more intermediate servers and cryptographic computations.

But before admonishing users please consider defending Net Neutrality and copyright reforms so that theses workaround become useless (for general usage). And while you are at it don't refrain from taxing ad-networks that use bandwidth and cpu cycle with over-engineered adware!

That's short-sighted. What about repos containing eg. a frontend and a backend? I did that with a Go/React project and I naturally ended up with: eslint conf, prettier conf, tsconfig, package.json, yarn.lock, editorconfig, Makefile, jest config, go.mod/go.sum, golangcilint.yml, Docker file/.dockerignore and travis.yml. Tell me, what should I discard?

And no, splitting the Go part and the React part is not an option as it makes releasing ten times harder.

Telling people to "just use fewer tools" might make you feel clever, but it's just snarky, really.
> We show that the transformer attention mechanism is the update rule of a modern Hopfield network with continuous states. This new Hopfield network can store exponentially (with the dimension) many patterns, converges with one update, and has exponentially small retrieval errors. The number of stored patterns is traded off against convergence speed and retrieval error.

You are allowed to change your mind, aren't you? :)

The goal for the initial .NET Core project was to have something cross-platform, modular and lightweight to build Linux-deployable cloud-services with.

Once that reached a mature state, they could expand scope.

And now, after .NET Core 3.x has landed, it has matured so much, that MS can see one single unified path forward which also includes some things which previously was only possible using the traditional .NET Framework (4.8).

So now they are adding those use-cases to the "Core" package as well, without compromising on what .NET Core was supposed to deliver. I honestly don't see anything wrong with that.

It's always surprising to read about the trouble this causes for Node. I've been writing mostly Webpack-compiled JS for the past few years, and it seems to allow any random mixture of require and import. Have I just been avoiding trouble areas by chance?

In C the program implicitly assumes there won't be an invalid file name or such thing. If the assumption turns out to be wrong, something unexpected (which may or may not be a memory bug) happens.

In Rust the program explicitly expects there to be an invalid file name or such thing and explicitly panics. This is both safer and more deterministic than C. Additionally, it's easy to grep for things like `panic!`, `unwrap`, `expect`, `unimplemented!`, `todo!`, etc. in your own code or your dependencies' code (assuming you have access to the source). Panicking code also tends to stand out like a sore tooth during code review.

Finally, Rust's approach slightly decreases the odds that someone will be sloppy in the first place. Since you have to explicitly acknowledge the issue and handle it (even if simply by saying `.unwrap()`), there's a chance you'll decide to just handle it properly even though you wouldn't have bothered in C. This is especially the case if you could've handled it properly by shortening `unwrap()` to `?`.
Although I don't identify with the "fire" part of that analogy, I agree it seems excessive to keep up with all the fine technical details of new features.

Programming language improvements can, at best, give us small decreases in accidental complexity.

Good software engineering practises (ruthless prioritisation, proper modularisation, continuous integration) etc. can have huge effects on both inherent and accidental complexity. It is much more important to spend time on those things. They are independent of specific programming language features.
Your libraries, e.g. BLAS may use it even if your own code doesn't.

Citation needed. Here's mine: 31K people per year die of fentanyl overdose in the United States alone. Data: https://www.drugabuse.gov/drug-topics/trends-statistics/over...

This is fentanyl, drug that is very rarely prescribed. According to Wikipedia only 4% of fentanyl overdoses result from fentanyl obtained by prescription.

I maintain that it is ludicrous to suggest that we should legalize _all_ drugs. We could, however, and IMO should, replace punishment for addictive drug use with drug rehab and a cool-off period, seeing how this shit is almost inevitably deadly in the longer term and is no good for the addict or those around them, at all.

Here is an old clinical practice guideline article (2011) from The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism talking about Vitamin D deficiency and recommendations for correcting it:

https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/96/7/1911/2833671

You can see that prevalence of deficiency is very high, as this other peer-reviewed study confirms:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21310306/

In the first article, after correcting the deficiency, the maintenance dose that they give is:
600-1000 IU/d for children; 1500–2000 IU/d for adults; 3000–6000 IU/d for obese.
As you can see that's much higher than the current RDA of 400 IU/d.

And to correct the deficiency in the first place, the dose needs to be 2-3 times higher still for 8 weeks.

So around half the people in the US need to be taking a very large dose for 8 weeks, and then a maintenance dose 4-15 times higher than the RDA.

This is all from established studies done long ago that no one has disputed. But their recommendations have yet to be implemented in a lot of places, which might be why some countries fare better than others.

From the comment you are replying to:

> The biggest meta-problem with AVX-512 is that due to process issues, the pause button got hit just as it appeared in a server-only, 'first cut' form. AVX2 had downclocking issues when it first appeared too - but these were rapidly mitigated and forgotten.
For Wirth, programming is not about using an endless stack of primitives that get you further and further from the physical machine, so much that they start to obfuscate what's happening at lower layers. It's about building the smallest, simplest stack of primitives such that you can express yourself effectively while still understanding the entirety of the system.

Now that is an interesting perspective I hadn't even considered. Also not sure I would agree – but if I was interested in finding out more but found the OP unconvincing, where would I go to find out more?

It's reasonable that they avoided auctioning the massive amounts of ammonium nitrate because it's useful for bombs (Hezbollah being the strongest force in the government). If that's the case, as the would be target of these bombs, I'm happy it blew up. I'm very sorry for innocent lives lost and for Lebanon in general. I wish they would wise up and join Israel in making the region livable.
That makes quite a lot of sense, but it also makes me frown a bit at the phrasing, which I feel is quite misleading.

"The digital emissions from this story are an estimated 1.2g to 3.6g CO2 per page view."

Re-reading it, technically they are right, if "view" is taken in a non-technical fashion. But everyone reading that text would assume if they click refresh, the emissions are doubled.

Also, I do wonder if they take into account bounced users - I would not be surprised if most people only spent 5 or so seconds on the page before moving on.

So what's the reason for crashing? What's the configuration that you change? I assume it's not random trial and error.
To me it looks like you and the GP just have different definitions of "in practice". Your definition of "in practice" seems to exclude the (general) availability of these extensions, whereas the GP's definition specifically includes them: if, as a developer, you can't rely on certain features being available, you're forced to optimize for the non-AVX512 case anyway, and any time spent exclusively on AVX512 is additional cost for a small audience.

So, whether the instructions themselves are any good then is of secondary concern because of the other problems of Intel's own making, and you both seem to be in agreement about those.
Agreed, though I would add that spending a lot of time on Twitter may well distort people’s idea of general sentiment of the wider population. Something like 0.1% of the society tweets actively with a following, you then narrow it down further to people with very similar background, you may well lure yourself into thinking it’s a semi-representative group.
Was that a bad thing? Journalists seeking information from hard to contact sources versus journalist instantly finding 1000 random people with the same warped view on life as their own?

This experiement's point is clear and identified in the article. This is pitched as an alternative to going to a cinema and it is priced lower than the cost of bringing a family there.
