I saw some projects in the 70s where they add a math co-processor to a standard 8-bit CPU by interfacing to an off the shelf calculator chip, with all the same issues. I'm sure it would be slower, but maybe the physical size might be the same as the ROM chips (1702s?) that would be required for the floating point code.
That's how these things have always worked. Autocratic leaders like to have "elections" that they win by unrealistic margins.

> While the article says “many jurisdictions,” and I cited only one specific jurisdiction, the onus is on the claimant to prove that there are, in fact jurisdictions that prohibit security exceptions. It’s unlikely that security exemptions don’t exist in every relevant executive order, yet the article requires accepting that premise in order to make the claim that this is “illegal.”

The beginning of the sentence you quoted has a link to the information you're looking for but it seems the quote you've pulled has cut that off. The word "noted" in "As we’ve noted previously" is a hyperlink pointing here[1] which itself links to an example order[2] that doesn't contain any such exception.

> Anecdote: a family member and software dev just bought the latest macbook pro coming from about an 8 year old macbook pro. Apparently he doesn't perceive much real world performance difference between the 2 machines. He said single core synthetic benchmarks were higher, but not by much.

It really depends on the workload. My old MacBook Pro feels the same as the newer model 98% of the time that I'm using it, but I really appreciate the extra RAM and double the core count when I need it.

Reducing build times from 30 seconds down to 15 seconds doesn't sound like much when you're not pressing the compile button very often, but it really does help improve my engagement and focus.

The newer graphics cards are also much better at handling large and high-resolution external monitors. The difference isn't pronounced if you're just using the built-in laptop screen, but start using multiple external 4K+ monitors and the faster GPU starts to shine.
Completely agree, I almost always screen comments before I get to the article.
Yeah, I always thought this too. Like, maybe planes are more "glamours" target that's slightly better in numbers terms? Then I commented here and had to back it up and the numbers are crazy. I'm a bit surprised governments have signed off on the increase in size from 747s (450ish) to A380s (850ish).
What do you think about the idea that it's all about Putin's revenge on USA for the attempted assassination?
Having used both extensively, AssertJ's API is more obvious and generally useful out of the box. It's replaced all the places where I'd previously used custom Hamcrest matchers with generally smaller amounts of code that spit out better errors when tests fail. It's not a either or though, sometimes it's worth looking at whether hamcrest is the right approach.
This comment breaks the site guidelines: "Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Sinister insinuation about astroturfing is the internet's favorite pastime. The overwhelming majority of this, as far as we can tell from countless hours looking at the data, is pure imagination.

Is it possible that the manipulation is so sinister and so clever that it leaves no traces we can see in the data, and yet thousands of internet commenters see what we don't? Sure it's possible. But following that path means abandoning evidence. That way leads to the wilderness of mirrors. The only sane way to look at this is to require some evidence, some objective peg of some kind (we'll take anything!) to hang your suspicions on. The presence of opposing viewpoints, downvotes, and flags on divisive issues is no evidence at all. It just means that the community is divided.

As far as I can tell, the psychological phenomenon driving this phenomenon is that people are deeply reluctant to take in how wide the range of legitimately opposing views is. We're probably hard-wired to see the world as much smaller than it is. Bring us all, with that hard-wiring, into a community of millions of people on the internet, and the inevitable result is that people see spies, shills, astroturfers, and foreign agents everywhere. No—what you're seeing is that there are a lot of humans with very different backgrounds from yours. And on any issue with an international dimension, multiply that phenomenon by a hundred.

I've written about this a zillion times: https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme.... See also https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... and https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... for how often I repeat myself.

> What if they have illegal evidence that you’re dangerous and can’t arrest you because it wouldn’t hold up?

Then that is a civil rights violation right there. Police shouldn't have illegally gathered evidence. Police should not be making decisions based on illegally gathered evidence. Police should not be making an endrun around the courts to apply punishments (such as forbidding travel) based on illegally gathered evidence.
I think it matters for a data center as well: all the power you push into a CPU has to be pumped back out by the air conditioning.

> The cards embody everything wrong with modern policing.

That's a pretty broad claim. The cards aren't even big enough to LIST everything wrong with modern policing.
I think you are missing a key element of civil asset forfeiture, its based around the government starting legal proceedings against the property itself for "participating" in criminal activity.

This is why the person who owns or posses the property doesn't have to be arrested or convicted of a crime for it to proceed.

This goes back to English common law, but so did a lot of other really stupid ideas. Largely these laws are a result of judicial decisions of courts and not legislative bodies of government.

I'm familiar with the standards and I stand by my assessment with full confidence. Twitter mobs routinely make up facts and spread completely unfounded misinformation that is demonstrably contrary to what evidence suggests. That's 3/4 of the criteria right then and there.

[0] To prove prima facie defamation, a plaintiff must show four things: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact; 2) publication or communication of that statement to a third person; 3) fault amounting to at least negligence; and 4) damages, or some harm caused to the person or entity who is the subject of the statement.

Now what you need to do is show damages. Lost your job? Deplatformed or demonetized? Vendors, partners, or clients cut ties? Victim of harassment (online or otherwise)?

Right, but we generally understand the mechanism there. Without oxygen, ATP pumps within animal cells cannot functionj. They can no longer maintain the right ion gradients across cell membranes and are destroyed due to osmotic pressure.

"We synthesized trace amounts so we can detect it if it's used on us" and "we have an active chemical weapons program making useful quantities of the stuff" are vastly different things.

I wonder what would happen if Crytek released a version of the game that took "make it minimally require next year's hardware" to the extreme, and whether the meme would cause everyone to just either quietly buy new hardware, or declare a Vista-esque revolt.

Apple makes tough decisions about who they want as customers for good reasons.

Most customers don’t understand how their phone works, or the benefits of alternate app stores. Android is proof of that, alternate app stores are nearly microscopic.

They don’t understand how they get malware or a virus, and frankly they don’t care to know. Understanding the inner workings of their phone isn’t important to them, it’s just a tool.

So if Apple allows side loading on iPhone, their friends or some social media d-bag will convince them or their friends to side-load something containing malware. Whether it wipes, ransoms or monitors their phone won’t matter.

What will matter is who they blame. Hint: not themselves. They may blame the evil actor or person who sent them the link, but they are most likely to blame Apple, or even worse, iPhone.

But by bit, bad experiences will degrade the iPhone brand of privacy and security. It will be no different than Android, and iPhone will lose its premium.

Because iPhone is designed to serve exactly those types of customers, of course Apple does everything possible to lock down security and privacy. And that includes no side loading, no alternate stores. This was true even when App Store revenues were microscopic, in fact Jobs never even wanted native app developers, he wanted web apps because he thought they would be secure.

Apple doesn’t want you as a customer. They should have the right to be opinionated about what makes a great iPhone, and who they want to sell to. Otherwise the entire experience gets watered down to Android level.
Since I'm doing several parts of the stack, this year I went full Typescript...
It's kind of a good demonstration of the problem with software versus hardware, here's xls solution (just for one function):

fn decode_i_instruction(ins: u32) -> (u12, u5, u3, u5, u7) {
let imm_11_0 = (ins >> u32:20);
let rs1 = (ins >> u32:15) & u32:0x1F;
let funct3 = (ins >> u32:12) & u32:0x07;
let rd = (ins >> u32:7) & u32:0x1F;
let opcode = ins & u32:0x7F;
(imm_11_0 as u12, rs1 as u5, funct3 as u3, rd as u5, opcode as u7)
}

here's the systemverilog solution

{im_11_0,rs1,funct3,rd,opcode} <= ins;

Obviously, in software, you can't slice data in the same way since as far as I can tell, it's assuming all variables are a certain size and so there's no naturally way of bit slicing.
The resistor compensating the manufacturing process differences reminds me of when I worked on the 3DFx Voodoo and there was a chain of transistors that sat inline with the clock but you could select which output would be sent to the remote TMUs which were clocked by this line. Code in the start up would draw textured test patterns and examine the Frame buffer to adjust the clock timing by nanoseconds using the chain of transistors. This was actually necessary because of variances in the manufacturing. When 3DFx switched to a completely new chip maker our boards failed and we had to fix our startup code because it didn't have enough margin. Thankfully there were more transistors in the chain we weren't using before. Crisis averted. The reason our boards were susceptible than the reference design is that we had one of our TMUs slightly further away from the FBI.
Looks like an interesting service. Is there a headless API available?

Impressive performance on the blog, loads instantly.
This seems very close to a point an engineer made to me on a game. A case / switch statement was considered very ugly in optimized game code. But in terms of performance a polymorphic function was pretty much the same, it just looked cleaner.
ACE and ACE2 [1] work in tandem:

Anecdotally, my inlaws who are NOT Russian also hold pro-Putin and pro-Lukashenko views. I avoid politics with them.

Why? Because they mostly watch Russian TV (those Russian WW2 serials are addicting). The propaganda in the Russian TV talk shows and news is very well done.

It is just like any other echo chamber. Just like watching Fox News,listening to Limbaugh in US, etc.

There are echo chambers for all political spectrums and all countries.

In my (limited) experience, it's mostly the WD portables that have a direct USB connector. It's been going on for many years — I have a WD Passport with USB 2.0 that I've unsuccessfully tried to shuck.

The portable Seagate Backup drives are shuckable, but some of them are SMR.

Sure, we do that, and who exactly do you think would be police, I maybe if police officers were compensated at the level of doctors. but you should look at the wages of police officers regardless of their dept. budget, its not like the cops themselves are rolling in cash.
I'm not criticizing Navalny nor his political opinions. I actually support the man.

It's the hypocrisy of American liberals that I'm pointing out. They know basically nothing of Navalny's political stances or activities. The only requirement for their support is that Navalny is in the opposition. If Navalny became the leader of Russia, they would turn on him, too.

I think this sort of "we'll give you a pass on this one if you just pay the ticket" is a super gross practice.

I recently got a camera citation for not stopping completely behind the line before turning right on red. Fine was $125. If I paid the fine, it would be treated as a parking ticket. If not, it would be a moving violation and points would hit my license, if I lost the case.

I feel like, if a cop thinks I broke the law, they should stand behind that. If $125 convinces the cop that I didn't really break the law, that sounds like corruption to me.
> Native Thunderbolt

A nice tweak sure but also irrelevant as a consumer. It just results in one less component on the motherboard, it doesn't change any functionality.

> much faster clock speeds

Relative to what? Last year's 4c/8t 14nm i7-10510U has a higher boost frequency than any of the chips announced today, and it's also a 15 W TDP CPU. The 4c/8t i7-1185G7's 3ghz base frequency is nice I guess but barely higher than last year's 4c/8t i7-8569U at 2.8ghz base - and both are 28W TDP. Probably, anyway - the 11th gen is listed in the '12-28 W' category but as it's the highest base freq of the listed quad cores I assume it sets the top end of that range.

If there's a power improvement here, which is possible, it's not clear in the spec sheet, and I think nobody is buying Intel's marketing claims at this point. So we won't have reasons to be excited here until reviews hit, if a reason to be excited for this exists at all.

> greatly improved graphics

This is an great upgrade, but only for Intel. It's playing catch up to the Ryzen 4000-series, which means it's not exciting on its own for consumers. Exciting in that competition drives price wars & overall stronger ecosystem, but on its own? Super boring.
>What if they have illegal evidence that you’re dangerous and can’t arrest you because it wouldn’t hold up?

I think the point of disallowing evidence found those ways is to discourage investigators from using those ways. If they can use it, they will seek it.

>Data science says you are 99% likely to blow up a plane. But you have done nothing illegal yet. Now what?

Totally off topic, but my proposal: a social worker should reach out to you and help with whatever problems you have. Very few people harm others just for the thrill of harming others. There's usually some other cause (revenge, poverty, desire to be heard).
If your freedoms are subject to someone else deciding when you can exercise them you were never free to begin with.

Lockdown if executed in any way would have been abused by the people.

Very fair points. I hadn't really considered it from the "patron" side of things (I'm a patron but only to 2 people).

I mentioned YT as a discovery mechanism, I wasn't implying anything about it as a revenue mechanism. I probably haven't thought it carefully enough, given that I don't really need the discovery mechanism to support my own work.

PayPal's micropayment service is MUCH better than Patreon's. (or anyone else's as far as I can tell). I make most of my income via PayPal, and the majority of the payments are US$1. PayPal's micropayment fee structure saves me 22c per $1 transaction. That's a huge impact for me (possibly as much as US$2k per month). The only way I could feasibly move away from PayPal is to somehow force/convince most of the people who support my software development work to pay more than US$12 (the point at which regular fee structures start to be better). That would mean convincing roughly 4500 people ("patrons" :) to switch payment platforms too.
> This is true as a practical matter, but it doesn't have much bearing on the thought-experiment.

This is what I was getting at. In the pure thought experiment it's a lot easier to go along with saying that both the pre and post replacement entity is the same person. But people who are ok with that ideal are usually going to be more worried once you involve those real effects that diverge the actual experiment from the thought experiment. If the process takes time then there is time for divergence and that possibility can cause anxiety. If there is no time then it is simply a question of "If you got instantly replaced with an exact duplicate, are you still the same person?" which is meaningless, you would have no possible way of knowing it had happened. You should be more worried about sleep actually being death and the person who wakes up being a different person.

>> I would view a perfect clone of me to be the same as me.

>But it isn't. If it suffers, you do not. You might not even be aware of its existence.

Let me rephrase this. Yes the clone suffers and the original wouldn't be aware of it. But I consider both people to be the same person. This is not to mean they are some sort of shared consciousness.

Let's imagine you had a clone and an original stuck on an island with supplies to last 4 weeks. You know help will arrive in 8 weeks, so one of you needs to die to allow the other to use the supplies to last that long. If it were me in that scenario I'd just flip a coin and the one who wins gets to survive on the supplies. I consider both as valid as the other to the claim of being me.
