"As the experience of realtime audio illuminates, it’s hard enough scheduling CPU tasks to reliably complete before timing deadlines, and it seems like GPUs are even harder to schedule with timing guarantees."

Well, I suppose that's way more feasible in RISC CPUs.

Show HN: Sombras.app, toy to play with shadows and 3D, TensorFlow logo style
I really liked the original Tensorflow logo and wanted to make a generator for graphics like that.

You can select which shadows to cast, the color of the lights and a 3D object is generated for you. The app can export images and be shared and generate a thumbnail with the design.

I made this app to test `react-three-fiber` and `useCannon`.
Yes, and the paper is authored by a group at the Rule of Law Foundation, which seems to be an organization to expose and undermine Chinese authoritarianism.

>feed the population and investing in local food security by utilizing modern tech like hydroponics and vertical farming on marginal land.

I think your hearts in the right place but this is misguided. Marginal land should not be farmed, via any method. Re-wilding marginal lands is one of the best ways to restore ecological health and diversity on a wide scale.

Hydroponics are also not a silver bullet, the tech has conformed to the hype curve just as predictably as anything else. You can produce leafy greens, and even some meat via aquaponics, but not significant calories or staples.

>The only way out is automation.

I know you had a few ‘and’ after this but nevertheless, hard disagree. A major contributing factor to mankind’s abuse of the natural world is abstraction from it. We will not solve that by going deeper into the darkness where kids grow up believing the food that sustains then springs into existence via inexplicable magic. We need to become closer to nature and the origins of our food, not further away from it via automation, urbanisation and increasing specialisation. All of these further the ignorance, misunderstanding, and abuse of the natural world on which we depend.

Is it most efficient to have more people return to rural environments and become involved in food production? No. But seeking greatest efficiency is one of the biggest errors we are committing here - nature is not efficient, it is broadly stable and able to support great diversity of life, at the cost of efficiency. We should be seeking to emulate nature in these regards, instead of attempting to extract and refine the parts of it we believe we need to maintain our particular version of life.

Yes, but I think that's "accepted" in the sense of "until we run into a contradiction", at which point you have to start over with new axioms. I.e. it turned out your axioms weren't all true.

I think that in the definition you gave "accepted" should be replaced by "assumed".
What is the public interest in publishing her name after she has expressed concerns about her safety? Shame on Buzzfeed.

"In her post, Zhang said she did not want it to go public for fear of disrupting Facebook’s efforts to prevent problems around the upcoming 2020 US presidential election, and due to concerns about her own safety. BuzzFeed News is publishing parts of her memo that are clearly in the public interest."
The paradox only exists if you assume that location and path through space-time is not a property. Since this property cannot be copied, no "identical copy" is possible.

This isn't a divergence--this is an uncopyable property.

IMHO social media has a natural tendency to mean "wall-to-wall influencers and hyper-targeted bad-faith political ads disguised as individual opinion". If you build it, they will come - there's a strong practical motivation for these people to try and be there in any social medium that gets popular.

In the absence of a strong mechanism to actively, effectively keep them out or kick them out (what would that be? It's not easy) social media will become like that unless that's a niche platform that almost nobody uses, so all the influencers and political ads don't care because they are somewhere else - but they will follow the eyeballs wherever they go.
If you have a linux box that's always on on your network, you can throw in a simple cron entry to curl a dynamic dns provider (entrydns.org works pretty well in my experience), which updates their dns entry for a url you set. Set up OpenVPN on your router, VPN to the URL, voila, access to your self-hosted services.

You definitely shouldn't expose most of these things directly to the net, they're not always bulletproofed as much as one would like.
Could you be a bit more tangible about how video developers have have just made things more complex? I don't necessarily disagree, since I can't wrap my mine around modern video codecs easily (in concept sure, but they're harder to use in practice), but that might be just because I'm ignorant?

The Privacy Implications of Messenger Apps Turning to Payments
Isn't increasing the albedo cooling the planet down?
When considering paths forward for climate change, there always seems to be the caveat "great idea, if we went whole-hog on that 20 years ago." This is doubly true, though, for nuclear plants -- just physically building the things takes a while, even if you ignore the problems around getting a massive pile of startup cash for an investment whose payoff hinges on energy prices 20 years out.

These aren't insurmountable problems, but they are pretty big. With solar, a person can stick it on their house. A grid-level installation can be built over time and starts paying for itself as soon as the things are plugged in.

Our current plans are targeting 2030 for massive carbon reductions, right? I don't see how starting a bunch of nuclear plants now really helps there. The most enthusiastic proponents of preventing global warming have always wanted to target 10-15 years out, so the energy isn't there for nuclear. Unfortunately. It would have been nice if we'd built a bunch of nuclear reactors 30 years ago.
Comparative advantage and when to blow up your island
In that case, you are arguing against something I did not say.
Seems kind of strange to put the whole thing underwater if they're going to pump seawater through internal heat exchangers. At that point there's not a lot of difference between putting the "submarine" underwater and leaving it out of -- but near to -- the water and pumping seawater through the same exchangers. With the added benefit of people being able to access things if something goes wrong.

The School of Athens: A detail hidden in a masterpiece
>It feels like the UK's failings in the technology space are entirely cultural.

Yes, It is cultural. And I think It is more than what you described, Although I may be over generalising it a bit.

If you look at the US, all of the large tech companies, or in fact any big companies, not just tech all have the same mentality. Rule the world. Whether that is Finance, Energy, Food, Tech. The home market US was merely a testing ground, they always had an eye on the world. They are greedy, pushy, willing to go the extra miles to close the deal. The sales forces between US, UK and Continental Europe are very different. Where in UK and EU there are more towards making both party happy. US tends to be ruthless.

US tech communities and companies also has a rather strange workaholic culture. Where employees are expected to put in the extra hours. But of course the pay in US is also a lot better. It also gives the idea that if you wanted money, go to US, or even working in a US company in the UK, or remote. Most UK / EU tech companies are not salary competitive.

Management Style is also different. Which also mean the working environment in tech also flavours US companies. Some of what is common in US is against the norm in UK. This matter in Tech because the space is moving way too fast. Innovation Efficiency is the key. Before you could gasp the basic of one thing you already have to learn another. Compared to other industry you mentioned which tend to have a slower pace, even in finance. what you learned dont change that often. Only the Data changed.

Not to mention the Brits culturally aren't very good at marketing. Something the US is exceptionally good at.
Very briefly:

- They don't license because they can make a lot more money manufacturing the chips themselves.

- AMD also has the right to x86 because Intel originally allowed them to build x86 compatible chips (some customers insisted on a 'second source' for cpus) and following legal action and settlements between the two companies over the years there is now a comprehensive cross licensing agreement in place. [1]

- Note that AMD actually designed the 64 bit version x86 that is used in most laptops / desktops and servers these days.

Whistleblower Says Facebook Ignored Global Political Manipulation
My home IP is technically not static but doesn't change, even with router reboots. I still have dynamic dns set up, however, because I don't trust that to not change. My ISP threw a warning when I forwarded port 80 (something about the TV service) but I haven't had any issues (though I serve stuff mostly off 443). It's actually really convenient, especially since I have a few ten-year-old laptops I can use to host stuff. Since I got symmetric gigabit FTTH, I can do basically anything with it, even hosting big files.
Referring to the bill of rights, which is a separate document from the US constitution. Functionally it serves a different purpose, whereas the constitution details how the government is structured and what it can do, the bill of rights enumerates what it cannot do. The bill of rights (1-10) does not change anything in the constitution.

I'm sure you could get pedantic on this matter, but the subject of OP was related to structure and function of the US government. This is the purview of the constitution and not the first 10 amendments.
Up until recently I used dynamic DNS and it worked well for a small website and calender server (radicale).

For hosting an email server a static IP is all but required, so I got the free tier VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro VPS at Oracle Cloud. It has a static IP and I forward stuff to my rpi3 with dyndns. All you need for this is a credit card.

I've been using DuckDNS [1]. If your IP address changes it could take up to 5 minutes to update, but in practice I haven't had any problems with it.

I was going to do this, but you can usually just change the DNS and add a hosts file to your router assuming it can run firmware that allows it (like tomato or ddwrt). It seemed pointless to try since the charts work for http and everything is https now.
I didn't setup specs for traffic but the setup I use is much lighter. Just wanted to suggest this for anyone who might want to block on their home network. I also use it as a NAS with USB3.0 to SATA with An SSD.
Tokens are granted to the app running on your Mac, not a service. There's definitely no Mimestream-run service component with access tokens to your account.

One tip - on the Google OAuth sign-in page, you can inspect the URL's query component to see the redirectURL parameter, and you'll see where Google will send the token. In Mimestream's case, it is <long-custom-scheme>:/oauthredirect, which is a custom scheme registered with macOS by the app, so macOS shows you the "Do you want to allow this page to open Mimestream" prompt.

This being said, you are totally correct, when you use any closed-source app like this that you did not build yourself, you are placing trust in the developer, and you are wise to be cautious.

In my opinion, there are still several practical security/privacy downsides to apps that run intermediary services with access to (or copies of) your email:
- A larger attack surface (the intermediary service) for an adversary to take advantage of, and one that is probably less hardened than Gmail
- A larger bug surface, as the service could potentially accidentally expose your data to another user (and this sort of bug _has_ happened in the past to others).
- Google probably has serious policies/systems in place for preventing a curious (or disgruntled) employee from reading your unencrypted email. Hopefully. That level of sophistication seems less guaranteed from a small company, and it's completely invisible to you as a user.
Switch to a better ISP.
> No I have an older relative who creates a new account every other week for whatever reason.

Poorly written, but your desire for software freedom is admirable. There are very real concerns about computer users' freedoms with cloud based development. This isn't even new, it's why GPL3 is a thing. That the new license was an utter failure doesn't mean it was the wrong idea, it just means it was too late.
Arm Ltd remains incorporated in the UK. Softbank did not strip or transfer the assets. The transfer of ownership is subject to UK law. Given the activities and size of the firm, the sale could be halted by ministerial intervention.

That said, I think such intervention is unlikely. UK law on overseas M&A is very open. Britain has a long-standing policy of encouraging foreign acquisitions, since it encourages inward investment and keeps the City of London relevant and flourishing as a major financial center. Many members of the ruling parties have personal and financial connections therein, and the UK's fraught divorce from the EU elevates the risks to London's ongoing relevance, so the incentives are skewed in favour of this sale.

The core of British trade policy is financial services i.e. invisible trade, not manufacturing, since competing on a playing field of physical scale (such as with manufacturing) is problematic for a small island nation. R&D is tolerated since it creates realisable value from (and for) the higher education sector, without dependence on a locally integrated manufacturing base. ARM itself is a microcosm of that strategy, designing chips but not making them; but by the same token, the value of that research was already fully realised by Softbank's acquisition.
The thing is that if putting data centers underwater solves the cooling problem, all the heat produced is wasted, so it this really a good solution?
>Most engineering disciplines have a professional community that requires you to take a proficiency exam (usually on graduation) and continued education.

This isn't really true. Most engineering jobs in the US don't require a PE. The main circumstances under which you need to take an Engineer-in-Training exam (which probably requires a 4-year degree) and then work for some number of years in the field--and then I think take another exam--is when you need to sign off on designs, etc. for government regulators.

When I was in the oil business I got an EiT because I would eventually have been signing off on offshore drilling rig design blueprints. (But ended up changing careers so I never got past that point.)

The "lots of different hardware" side of it is where audio hardware was 20 years ago. Devices with multiple streams in hardware, and without. Devices with builtin processing effect X, and without. Devices that could use huge buffer sizes and ones that could only use small ones. Devices that could use just 2 buffers, and devices that could use many. Devices that supported all sample rates in hardware, devices that only supported one.

Things are not totally cleared up, but the variation has been much reduced, and as a result the design of the driver API and then user-space APIs above that have become more straightforward and more consistent even across platforms.

>20-100x performance advantage.

Yes, for sure this is one aspect of the comparison that really breaks down. Sure, there are audio interfaces (e.g. those from UAD) that have a boatload of audio processing capabilities on board, and offload that DSP to the hardware saves oodles of CPU cycles. But these are unusual, far from the norm, and not widely used. Audio interfaces have mostly converged on a massively less capable hardware design than they had 20 years ago.

Autonomy Cube
ZeroTier uses central servers to assist machines behind NATs in finding each other.

These central servers basically exchange the external IPs of each machine on the virtual network. The nodes on the virtual network then try their best to establish peer-to-peer connections using those external IPs.

I use it all the time with a number of colleagues working from home and it works great! We can all join a virtual LAN and see each others machines behind our home broadband routers.

ZeroTier runs fine on Raspberry Pi. I use it to link machines at home with machines at work, on AWS, Azure, etc.

There is no way a compiler can do anything for an indirect call that goes one way for a while and the other afterwards. A branch predictor can get both with if not 100% accuracy about as close to it as you can possibly get.
