TikTok is a media platform. They are buying audience.
Except that is imprecise and can be misleading. It is certain you called print incorrectly. It is not known if you just made a mistake or are trying to execute python 2 code.
IMO VLIW is an absurdly bad choice for a general purpose processor. It requires baking in a huge amount of low level micro-architectural details into the compiler / generated code. Which obviously leads to problems with choosing what hardware generation to optimize for / not being able to generate good code for future architectures.

And the compiler doesn't even come close to having as much information as the CPU has. Which basically means that most of the VLIW stuff just ends up needing to be broken up inside the CPU for good performance.

There is a big difference between a hypothesis and a conclusion.

You start with your hypothesis, then, after your research and study, you formulate your conclusion as to whether your hypothesis was correct or not.

If you start with the conclusion that your hypothesis is correct and only look for supporting evidence, that's bias.

It's also extremely easy to fix.
I am not sure how? Quite the contrary, stating that "good is what the society decides" is a way to solve contradictions in individual choices.

That's not my stance, btw, but that's a morality framework that is coherent.
Follow up question for a little clarification. Would you write the tweet into the queue once or append a message to the queue for each follower containing the tweet id?

Seems to me you’d need to do the latter right? That way you ensure you process each follower at least once, but each worker doesn’t need to be aware of others it’s just pulling messages from the queue.

There are way too many approaches to enumerate in a reply, but the StackOverflow answer covers just a few of the approaches I’ve seen used on Windows: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22218857/17027

The GPU approach is considerably harder to work around, fwiw. Still possible, of course.

Nah. If it were any good then the license wouldn't prohibit you from benchmarking it.
The sole meaning of the "Gartner Curve" is the amount of money available to be spent on hype, that Gartner can hope to get. It has the most tenuous imaginable relationship with the market for actual, you know, products.
They look so similar to the Huawei Freebuds 3 sitting in my desk, except that the top cap is also round.

Edit: it appears that the OnePlus buds are also fully round
Banned in India. Highly dependent if Chinese open their markets or not.
I feel it's some kind of unwritten law that every time you think you've solved something, there's some Soviet engineer who already did it a few decades ago

I imagine the solution to every problem can be found lying on a shelf, untranslated in a research lab in the middle of nowhere in Russia
I am surprised that no one has mentioned China will very likely block this deal.
From what I remember from the Gentzkow/Shapiro work on media bias, media owners isn't really the source of bias. Paraphrasing, it turns out the bias comes from... the readers, who want a paper where they can read what pleases them.
I'm not sure what your point is. You still had 12+ years of warning. You didn't need to migrate in 2010. I'd guess that the majority of application code migrated in the past 2 years, but that doesn't mean that you didn't have time to plan, and prepare.

> File handling in the new unicode world was something like 2-3x SLOWER. This is not percent, something which took 3 minutes all of a sudden took NINE minutes because of the io module.

Yes, unicode is slower. If you weren't using unicode you could and can still do all your processing in bytes mode.

529,000 people. Still more than the population of Wyoming.

I suppose neither of us has a crystal ball. We'll just have to see what happens in 20 years.

How do you think a model would operate for university-level instruction that would both prepare kids for employment, offer a competitive level of socialization, collaborative problem-solving experience in multiple fields, and generalized knowledge so they don't turn into pigeon-holed hyperspecialists?

How do you expose kids to a wide-enough variety of things that they are able to discover something they truly want to do for the rest of their life?

How will you ensure that a university-degree doesn't remain a symbol of status?

Basically, how do you go from University of Phoenix, to what you are describing?
> Blacks who could have gone to Princeton if that policy were not in place might have kids that would otherwise benefit from legacy admission.

If my ancestors weren't serfs in Europe, I might benefit from a wealthier family. The effects are still felt today.
Great book, highly recommend. Even if you say 90% of it is pseudo-scientific bs, fine, read it like you would fantasy or sci-fi and there's still easily 10% of mind-expanding possibilities in here. I've read many critiques of Hancock's work and there are always arguments and evidence left over that critics don't address. The only way to decide for yourself is to read his work with an open mind. Or don't!
I'm not seeing this one size fits all policy anywhere.

Many schools are in session. Many are not. Some types of businesses are shit down and other types are not.

As for heard immunity, the high r value of this virus indicates that we would need as much as 50-60% of the population to get infected before heard immunity starts working.

What if they're counterfeit OnePlus products and somehow the message to be released to the public was lost in a 'telephone' game? Brand name dilution can cause some less tech-astute folks to refer to earbuds by the popular AirPods brand name. And given the visual similarity it's easy to see how this kinda thing could cascade from a miscommunication like that.

That said it's also pretty believable that CBP thought they were intercepting clearly marked OnePlus goods as infringing on Apple's trademarks....somehow...
edge-AI!

They're also building an ARM supercomputer at Cambridge, but server-ARM doesn't sound like a focus.

I'm just hoping for some updated mobile Nvidia GPUs... and maybe the rumoured 4K Nintendo Switch.

They say they won't muck it up, and it seems sensible to keep it profitable:

> As part of NVIDIA, Arm will continue to operate its open-licensing model while maintaining the global customer neutrality that has been foundational to its success, with 180 billion chips shipped to-date by its licensees.
I used Python for a while years ago and asked a core developer about this, he said they’re not paid for support of that nature and to talk to Red Hat. For them it’s just a fun project, no matter who (foolishly?) built a product on it. They’ve made it out to look like a toy language, but it’s taken seriously.

So I went with C# instead. I’d choose it again over Python.
The problem is that consumption represents value that is lost whereas savings and investment cause value to multiply. When you tax consumption you encourage investment in capital which makes more value available for everyone in the market. When you tax property or capital gains you siphon value from investment and encourage consumption, resulting in depletion of value.
Is this related to macsyma?
I have employed “Jugaad” for multiple decades. And the comments here are correctly negative. Jugaad is what good people have to do to work a shit system. It leads to utterly unprofessional environments and is a tremendous drag on the overall system.
No, we know that our planet has the right conditions for life. The conditions on Venus are very different.
If they have an identical shape to AirPods, they could run afoul of a design patent. But they look different to me.

That’s still not “counterfeiting”. The difference between counterfeits and knock-offs (KERFs) is consumers will help you fight counterfeiting and will go out of their way to buy knock-offs.
I don't think anyone here is claiming that malice is the reason the system is like this. There's so much incompetence from leadership at all levels that the situation we're in now was pretty much inevitable.
Philosophers: arguing that morality can be objective while failing to agree on the meaning of words...

So to rephrase your objection, you think it is impossible to have an objective measurement of something in the human society? Are you arguing in practice or in theory?

Because right now this is a thought experiment, so for now we can assume perfect knowledge of what is happening within a society. You don't need instruments to calibrate, we are making a theoretical, philosophical point.

If we agree that it is possible in practice, then we can talk about how to implement it in our real, imperfect, partly unknown world but it is not even clear we are there yet.

> Man is the measure of all things. --Protagoras.

I don't know the context of the original quote, but in the context of that discussion, that's the negation of objective truth, something I disagree with. If that's your point of view, we have a core disagreement that's going to invalidate the rest of the discussion.
S3 Batch Operations can also invoke a Lambda function per object, so it's straightforward enough to create a function that calls DeleteObject() and let Lambda scale out to silly levels.
Do you hear the sound of clinking chains? That’s vendor lock in ;-)
I mostly use the app Materialistic, which does not show vote numbers on your comments. Went through a phase of using the website more (I'd really rather use a pc than phone), but found that the existence of the page that shows your comments (/threads?id=username, I think) warped my behavior in ways I didn't like (compulsively scanning for new replies, thinking about how upvoted different of my posts were. The app has a similar page, but notably it doesn't provide a way to see replies to your comments -- without scores or replies, there's not much incentive to check it. I also enabled email notifications using hnreplies.com, so I wouldn't have to worry about missing replies I might care about, overall it's worked out well and I I'm back to just commenting when I feel like it.
Britain’s CO2 Emissions Have Fallen to Levels Last Seen in 1890 (2018)
As a non-Californian I marvel at the constant stream of articles about what a hostile Soviet environment California is for private enterprise and yet over the past few decades it has been one of the greatest centers of innovation and wealth creation in global history. The rebuttable presumption when you here about some emerging world conquering company is that it is coming out of CA. Something right must be happening there!
> When everyone is working from home it's not like I could just call someone and chat to them because I don't know if they're busy or not

I don't really see what the issue is. In my company if we want to chat we simply ask on Slack "can we have a call?", and the other person either says 'ok' or 'call me later'. Most conversations happen over async chat, which is great if you are waiting for something to compile (Scala...).

How do you do it in an office setting? Would you go over to a person wearing headphones and starting telling them about your weekend?

I mean, yeah, but it's a super common bug in humans, who frequently want to translate between scales incorrectly (hence law of large/small numbers gambling errors, some kinds of discrimination/prejudice, bad generalizations, being upset when a 90% likely event doesn't happen, etc.)
In one instance, I literally watched a government organization buy its own open source software from a vendor that added a few bells and whistles and turned it into a proprietary product. GPL is a pretty good defense against this kind of scenario. You need these kinds of checks against the transient nature of political appointees, etc.

I think Joe Rogan talks to someone who mentions since horse clones are done by rich people and it's maturing rapidly, it stands to reason someone has cloned themselves by now, which is exciting.
Why would states need to be ok with it?

California is already able to levy the bank accounts of people who have never set foot in the state if they deem that you owe them tax money.

I see no reason that any state would stick it's neck out to protect any individual transplants.
or to turn it again, it is dis-arming
That's the company ARM. The processor had been developed five years previously by Acorn.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (where I work) certainly does. It's about similar working environment to most tech companies in the area, so not exactly something to be driving me to seek employment elsewhere.

One of the nice things about this pandemic has been how silent my office is. So much easier to keep my head down and churn code / solutions to problems out.
There is a "Phone Periscope" I use, that you can buy on Amazon / eBay for a few dollars, that might be useful if you need something like this: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=phone+periscope

Some have a little magnet so it can be detached and re-attached quickly.

We use it to make a phone-based people counter. Recently found out that in China they're marketed as phone attachments to take pervy, upskirt photos of girls without getting caught.
Not really, where does the implication of a bifurcated graph come into play?

Plenty of companies store their users’ data in the US, but user profiles and content made public is visible from anywhere in the world.

Yes, and my point is to not take that critical failure out on the candidate.

"Because it's pretty" is it. 99% of people don't care about text being a data mining source.

I like puzzles and quizzes plenty but it has nothing to do being a good programmer.
Having audited over 200 suppliers in China, I feel like the Chinese have mastered the art of "Jugaad". Absolutely brilliant, wreckless and dangerous violations/innovations I've ever witnessed in my life.

Commonly known in the west as Redneck Engineering and Jerry-rigging. I think every culture has some sort of a "Jugaad", this isn't something specific to India besides the etymology.
TikTok is a black sheep because as soon as you defend it against the US, you’re painted as a Chinese shill advocating for Uighur genocide.

It’s no wonder that Silicon Valley is uninterested in defending it, despite the fact that this sort of deal is likely to severely fracture how tech services are treated by governments in the future.
I have a question here. How do you combat lobbying when you have the likes of Microsoft so deeply entrenched in a government, the likes of Germany and Limux and the whole deal there. Same in India. The government has set aside a proper budget to spending towards buying Microsoft products for office use when 10% of that sum could build world class software but lobbying.
I once pitched libreoffice to a head of a India government department and I was told in as many words "the central government gives us a proper budget for this. If we don't spend it, it will lapse. Let it be. "

Next, I use some taxation software provided by central government but its all excel based. Why cant they essentially switch to the likes of using Foss software because the chain effect of the cunsumers of these software have to stick to excel. On and on.
If anyone can help pass the message, let me know
NVIDIAs whole schtick is making a bunch of interesting software and arbitrarily locking it to their own hardware. Doesn't seem compatible with being the steward for what has up until now been a relatively open CPU architecture.
At issue is the conflict between ARM's business model- which revolves around licensing designs to other companies- and Nvidia's reputation of not playing nicely with other companies.
I've (partially) done this (for ASX filings, not EU).

God what horrible mess it is. They are right about OCR being the best approach sometimes, but then there is tables. Tables in PDFs are.. well there is active academic research into the best way to extracting data.
That's a very smart move, they sell it to the least competent bidder possible. If microsoft buys it, you might have a global competitor with big number of Hollywood stars as influencers. With oracle it will be a slow death but with enough money not die anytime soon.

If that happened, I think we'd be able to determine that by sampling and analyzing the microbes.

I think a more interesting concept would be exchange of microbes between Venus and Earth at some point in their distant past, and then could we might be able to date that (those) event (s) via their molecular clocks (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_clock)
The legal definition of counterfeit product (as realized by CBP's jurisdiction) boils down to:

Bares a Registered Trademark and does not have a signed letter of authenticity by the trademark holder authorizing its import.

That is super broad and covers a lot of things most people would think to be false positives like legit items sold second hand.

But even that doesn't cover thinking OnePlus Buds are AirPods.
It is nothing about Java or even mindshare, it is all about money, shareholders, new companies, or even just have to reshape a wheel again. This type of subject is a pseudo-proposition. When many people are using Java, some guys need to create something new (may not really new) to gain the financial interest. Of course they have to pick up something bad about Java or whatever languages and then fill his new stuff in the marketplace, but actually nothing really new. C, C++, Java, Php, Ruby, Python and do on. When everyone is familiar with something or know something for long, the capital and money stop moving, which is bad for game players such as new companies in Silicon Valley and money makers from Wall Street.

Absolutely not. If anything, the young user base makes TikTok more valuable. It will be viewed as an analogue to Facebook before it exploded.

I disagree that savings causes value to multiply -- that's reversing causality. Investment creates savings, not the other way around, and the relationship between investment and consumption is complex. It could be the case that a decrease in consumption results in a decrease in investment -- firms don't invest more when their sales are flagging.

It could also be that an increase in consumption leads to a decrease in investment, but the conditions for this are more limited.

Overall, growth in consumption tends to go with growth in investment in modern free economies.

In other economies, for example, export led economies that practice forced savings, there is a general policy to tax consumption and subsidize investment. That may or may not work out. It often works out in the short term but not the long term. It works better for small economies that can export a surplus than for large economies that have a hard time exporting the surplus. It can also destabilize the rest of the world.

In the modern world, the most precious commodity is demand, not investment, and suppressing demand is generally foolish.
The complete idiot’s take (mine): Venus is suspiciously different than the other rocky planets.
You might want to change your example, as while the tactic is reprehensible and common to VC-backed companies, selling consoles at loss is standard practice for I think all makers (they recoup it by license fees on games)
>Also, to first order, when a company issues stock to purchase another corporation, that cost is essentially "free" since the value of the corporation increases.

This isn't correct. If investors thing Nvidia overpaid, its share price will decline. There are many examples of acquiring companies losing significant value on announcements to buy other companies even in pure stock deals.
Why does it have to be massively hacked? Just exclude certain categories of consumption like groceries, healthcare, housing, education.

We already do that in Canada. We also give payments back to low income people to offset their spending in categories that are taxed. Net-net, low income people in Canada pay very little in consumption taxes.
If I was an nVidia shareholder I wouldn’t want ARM profits to subsidise GPU development.
