Good points, but on the other hand the market penetration is enormous, e.g. Samsung probably shipped hundreds of millions of their galaxies.

There’re thousands of exceptionally good software developers worldwide. It’s surprising no one so far found a good way to re-purpose the hardware. The OS kernel is open source already (wasn’t the case for the original xbox), and all these proprietary firmware blobs are shipped with the devices.
You are completely jumping to the conclusion that when the author says "10x better" he means some dimension that you do not care about.

Programmers care about productivity too. And when somebody puts a number as in "10x better", that is usually the metric they are talking about. (Although this one seems so fuzzy that the statement is meaningless.)
The LG UltraFine displays do support this (in fact there's no OSD/controls on the physical things at all) so it definitely is possible and something LG can do

I am using "access" in the same way you might access funds from your bank, which I hope includes the usecase of "I want to withdraw all my money" rather than "I can only take out the last $1000 I put in". I would actually be much more lenient iMessage organized messages better, as many other chat apps do, but it doesn't–I can't search by date, I can't sort attachments by filesize or even given an attachment jump to where it was sent (a big problem if you get sent videos!), if you scroll too far the app scrolls to a crawl, to say nothing of how little you must value your time to want to do that. I am merely frustrated that an app that provides no way of doing fairly common things also blocks people from doing this in any other way, and in doing so effectively does prevent people from accessing their data.
> When you're working down to something tiny, both measurement systems will be able to represent absolute distances just fine - do we agree on that?

Yes. I guess it was implied by omission but I don't think either system is bad. My original statement was: "I wouldn't call imperial measures 'broken'"

> Can I ask why you consider consider 0.5 inches to be 'one unit' - but think 1.5 cm is not?

>1/16th of an inch isn't just technically a division of an inch. : )

Because I don't think of 1.5 inches as 1 inch + 0.5 inches, I tend to think of 1.5 inches instead as three 1/2-inches. What I mean by stating that while 1/16 is (and 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 are) "technically" divisions of the inch, they are _practically_ (or effectively) separate whole units that you step up or down to the same way you convert up or down between mm and cm.

I find sub-dividing material (or design) by a power of two to be very common. Working with metric units, this tends to always lead to handling multiples of 5 which I tend to find more difficult than handling multiples of 2.

Working with imperial inches and subdivisions of an inch in this way (for "normal" sized projects of the type mentioned in previous comments) means there are more options to match "whole" units to the specific measurement and you generally make new measurements in your work by changing units and adding/subtracting integer values of that unit. It is literally practical because it was derived from existing practices and matches them inherently.
It’s even harder to convince other people. Once you realize that we do not understand how to make graphics look real, the pattern appears everywhere. Yet no one will acknowledge it.

Graphics — even movie quality graphics — don’t look anything like what a camera produces. The sole exception is when you’re mixing in real video with CG elements. But try to synthesize an entire frame from scratch, then put it next to a video camera’s output, and people can tell the difference.

Also, screenshots are misleading. You have to test video, not screencaps. Video is processed differently by the brain.

10 out of 10 times, all the graphics engineers come out of the woodwork going “but actually we do know how! It’s a matter of using so and so calculations and measuring BDRF and” none of those equations work.
And the suppressed supply leads to further price increase. And that feedback loop only further increases the tax penalty for moving. On top of that, when you die, if your children inherit the property, they keep the Prop 13 tax basis (and then the federal government increases the investment basis to the fair market value at the time of death). Best of both worlds! (but horrible public policy)
The US Constitution enumerates the ability to levy taxes; why would related rules be inappropriate for a state constitution?
> Lenders will be much less willing to pay high tuitions in cases where students are unlikely to be able to pay it back

The federal government is the lender. That's the central point of the post.

> Prop 15 will make it more difficult to fix Prop 13

This "if I don't get what I want, nobody does" political strategy reminds me of the Author's Guild's battle with Google over Book Search [1].

The principle problem of politics is priority. When roadblocks to incrementalism and compromise are thrown up, it's more likely for the problem to be branded as unsolvable for a generation than it is for everyone to come back together to work out a grand solution.

> pip, requirements.txt, and venv are madness. Look at how much suffering they cause!

Perhaps I'm just lucky but I never experienced any major issue with pip+venv. It always worked as advertised: create venv, activate venv, install/update pip locally, install packages listed in requirements.txt, and you're all set.

Which problems do you experience with pip?

Just because you are dissatisfied with the options your job gives you isn't a reason to remove the compensation of other workers. There's no reason private companies can't offer pensions - they used to! Organize and talk to your employer.
I'm fairly certain we will always require privacy. If I have your credit card number and I want to use it to hurt you, I can, unless there's something else I need that I don't have, perhaps a security code. If someone can figure this out without needing privacy that'd be pretty phenomenal, but my little brain can't conceive of such a thing. And until then, we need very strong privacy.
All previous generation Titan models have been cut down chips as well TU102, GV102, etc.

With one exception: the Titan V card that I mentioned which comes with the GV100 chip. But as I mentioned, that one targets a very different market segment with HBM memory, which the "RTX 3090" obviously doesn't target, since otherwise it would come with HBM2 memory like all the GA100 products.

> Why is it harder for a workplace to leave a union that is no longer serving its interests (to none or another union) then it is for the union to form in the first place?

That's the case with essentially everything. Legally, it is much harder to get divorced than get married; it is much harder to break a lease than sign a lease; it is much harder to recall a judge than elect a judge, ...

Unions are not the exception in this regard, this is pretty much the norm in everything.

I really don’t like the idea of recurring property tax in general. Why should you have to continue paying on something indefinitely that you’ve already "paid off"? What if you are old and have run out of money? At least you’ll still have your house.

My suggestion is a large one time tax on property purchased for use as a primary residence (second homes don’t count), and then once all original owners die a new tax can be reapplied if relatives want to keep the property (actually, I’m not totally opposed to having all property go to auction upon death). This would allow people to never have to worry about losing their home during their lifetime while also not creating a dynasty of ownership that prevents new things from being built.

Edit: are the downvotes for my idea itself because you don’t like it? Or because of the way I explained it? Would be happy to rephrase.

They are actually selling a USB drive through this listing now, though. From a review:

"Attractive case, but the guts are actually just a 16 GB drive with the memory addresses looped around to try and hide the fact that it's a low-mid capacity drive. It'll make folder structures just fine, but as soon as you hit 16 GB, BAM! It starts overwriting from the lowest address. Made for a nasty, nasty surprise when I was collecting data only to check it later and find nothing there but empty folders."
Show HN: Bit Serial CPU

So, Universal Basic Income....
Yeah it always did squick me out that it needed to do that, while also having a special binary manage all the commands. Explicitly, why is 'conda' in my path, but then I need to run 'conda init $shell' to make it really work. It should be handling that internally all by itself, without any help...
Wow, that's an amazing story!

I wonder how many of these pilots flew fighters or something for the Air Force before they took a job flying airliners.

Wasn't Prop 13 the baby of everyone's favorite dreamy Democratic California governor, Ronald Reagan? And weren't the Enron rolling blackouts specifically due to giving Enron too much "protection" from the government?

That's not to say California isn't also overflowing with bad liberal ideas -- Prop 47 and corporate gender quotas spring to mind -- but the madness seems to be a result of back-and-forth escalation rather than monopoly.

If back-and-forth escalation is truly to blame, it doesn't bode well for the USA as a whole, because we certainly seem to be headed down that road.
Innovative cities follow a unique historical pattern, study shows
Hello HN, here is a project that I have recently finished, it is a very niche
CPU written in VHDL and verified to work on an [FPGA][]. It is a 16-bit [bit-serial][]
CPU, which means the processor is incredibly slow taking 102 clock cycles to complete
some instructions, the trade-off is that the CPU is very small, almost being free to implement
in terms of floor space on the FPGA, the entire project takes just 73 slices, with the
CPU itself taking 23 slices.

The cross-compiler and the cross compiled program, a [Forth][] interpreter, are available at:

<https://github.com/howerj/bit-serial/blob/master/bit.fth>

It compiles down to an image that uses just 4802 bytes (out of 16KiB).

And a C simulator if you would like to try out the Forth interpreter but lack an FPGA to try
things on is available at:

<https://github.com/howerj/bit-serial/blob/master/bit.c>

You can type:

make run

To build the C simulator and run it on a pre-compiled image. Typing 'words' and hitting
return shows you a list of all defined functions.

In all likeliness the project will not have that much utility to anyone, but I have
wanted to make a bit-serial CPU after completing my previous FPGA project because the
architecture is quite rare nowadays and might be something of a curiosity.

[bit-serial]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit-serial_architecture

[Forth]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forth_(programming_language)

[FPGA]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array

[VHDL]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHDL
But if you had seen the previous comments, that is, if you'd experienced repetition instead of new information, then they'd have been less curious and less useful. Curiosity wants to find new things, learn new things—it basically wants diffs because diffs are what it finds interesting. My source? Self-observation and observation of this community. Is it really a controversial point?

Even when we mark stories as dupes there are often users who say it was new to them and they appreciated the post. That makes perfect sense. No one sees everything, and if you haven't encountered the earlier elements of a repetitive sequence, then for you there is no repetition. I'm always reminded of a second-hand clothing store in my home town called "New to You".

But at a site-wide level it's not hard to understand that this is a stochastic process and we have to manage it globally. The alternative would be not to moderate repetition at all, and the community would definitely not prefer that.
> I mean - who cares about correctness when I'm trying to ship yet another cookie-cutter web application that I don't even know is going to see more than a thousand users in its life.

I feel this perspective, but I don't understand it. To me, correctness means that the program is actually doing what it's supposed to. If we don't care about correctness, isn't the particular program we're writing pretty arbitrary?

Correctness doesn't seem like some ivory tower ideal to me. I want to write software that meet a need for my users. Writing correct software means uncompromisingly meeting that need.

Each location should have its own union, grouping them all up allows the needs of the few to get drowned out by the wants of the many, and elevates union leadership to a position of power over the workers as union reps have easier access to spread their messaging to employees across locations while normal employees can only organize within their location.
What union did this?
Define "political speech," bearing in mind that everything that can be proven not to be "political speech" under that definition is implicitly fair game as grounds for termination in this case.
I think it’s something we learn.

I remember as a kid my younger sister watching cartoons and realising she couldn’t tell the difference between them and live action.

I think as graphics get more complex our ability to distinguish increases. But we’ll probably hit a limit in our ability to keep up sooner or later.
