all viruses are susceptible to UV light. Ultimately it spread in bats so it is pretty obviously able to spread in caves. It also spread in people indoors.

There is virtually no way for scientists to look at DNA and say "oh yeah this was manmade" (or not manmade). Possibly if there is some really obvious splicing marker used or something.

the entire sequence can be put into a computer and custom generated.
if this means no more Vuex, i'm all for that. that extra abstraction layer never proved useful to me.
I don't know if there are any white papers with hard details yet (if anyone knows of one, please share!), but nVidia's marketing material[0] for the Ampere architecture claims the following:

"Sparsity is possible in deep learning because the importance of individual weights evolves during the learning process, and by the end of network training, only a subset of weights have acquired a meaningful purpose in determining the learned output. The remaining weights are no longer needed.

Fine grained structured sparsity imposes a constraint on the allowed sparsity pattern, making it more efficient for hardware to do the necessary alignment of input operands. Because deep learning networks are able to adapt weights during the training process based on training feedback, NVIDIA engineers have found in general that the structure constraint does not impact the accuracy of the trained network for inferencing. This enables inferencing acceleration with sparsity."

So the idea seems to be that at the end of training, there's fine tuning that can be done to figure out which weights can be zeroed out without significantly impacting prediction accuracy, and then you can accelerate inferences with sparse matrix multiplication. They consider training acceleration with sparse matrices an "active research area."

I could see it being nice for the sake of running large language models on consumer, or really cool for the few edge computing applications that can actually demand and power conventional GPUs (e.g. self-driving cars.) It's probably not a great boon to the researcher who wants to reduce their iteration timeline though.

I don't know if it's reliable source (regarding nVidia), but you'll be surprised to know that most manufacturers do this. That's why it's better to wait for those that post updates about the product after a certain period of time and to give a chance to the smaller reviewer that most likely had to buy the stuff to test it, just like everyone else.
Me, too. I think economic pressures like you described generally harm quality of life. We end up with less "real wealth" --all the work-products that would otherwise make net QoL better, for the sake of monetary wealth concentration. As usual this comes down to the incentives and disincentives we've baked into our system not aligning with the best overall outcome. They align with the perceived needs of the biggest fish only.

Their track record isn't about their expositions. It's about the integrity of the data they're leaking. They've never been fooled into leaking fake data, or data that had been tampered with.
Most people would call that "lying", "unethical", and probably "stupid."

I feel very blessed to have been a subscriber to DDJ in the late 80s and early 90s. I learned about data structures and algorithms; multi-tasking; windowing systems; programming languages; operating system internals; and so much more. And it all came in bite-sized chunks (articles and listings) that could be understood in a few (or several) hours.
> if a multi-billion dollar corporation like Epic can't take on Apple... what chance does the independent developer have to take on Apple?

Take on in what way? Forcing their hands with sheisty tactics and breaching contract? Plenty of indie devs get by just fine without that bs.

> Everyone must play by Apple's rules or pay the dire consequences for it.

It’s their platform, and who said anyone _had_ to write iOS apps? This is entitlement.
I was hoping for better Typescript support for typing properties, since that is where 90% of our type errors occur. But it seems like you still have to specify the types manually. The example from the manual:

const Component = defineComponent({
props: {
name: String,
success: { type: String },
callback: {
type: Function as PropType<() => void>
},
message: {
type: Object as PropType<ComplexMessage>,
required: true,
validator(message: ComplexMessage) {
return !!message.title
}
}
}
})

Contrast this with React where this would be something like this (I think; I've never used React):

interface Props {
name: string;
success: string;
callback: () => void;
message: ComplexMessage;
}

export default class Component extends React.Component<Props> {
...

Quite disappointing. Maybe not that surprising given Evan said he only started using Typescript very recently, and many beginner Javascript developers don't realise that they should really be using Typescript (fortunately Evan isn't one of them). I would recommend still avoiding Vue for this reason alone.
I don't see why Rust would be cleaner than modern C++ codebase.
> Why would you base your income on their platform knowing how they treat their users and developers?

For the same reason everyone does: because if you don't end up in their crosshairs, you can make a lot of cash.

That's been the reason ever since the days the complaint was "Apple liked my Mac app so much they built their own version and never compensated me."

For those personally affected, you can still sideload WeChat, TikTok, and Fortnite on Android just as always.
> Modern JS engines won't use a hash table for the object state, they'll use a hidden class, and member accesses will be fixed offset indirect loads guarded by a type check.

The type checks themselves have significant overhead, and it's easier to fall off the shadow class fast path than you might expect.

> Initialize your objects carefully in a deterministic order, and I'd expect you can control field order and adjacency.

True, but that's equally true of non-ECS architectures. I have yet to see much evidence that the ECS JS engines I've looked at are actually taking that into account.
Good to see this out. I want to pick a good frontend scheme for future projects but I don't really need most of the fancy SPAs and the complexity coming with it.

Invested a few weeks on Vue a few months back, then the concern about 'React has 80% market share and you can find React developer much more easily in the west" never went away.

Maybe Mithril is the way out? I just need a really light-weight client-side-ajax MVC for some embedded product webUI, in fact jquery+BT might do the job well but again, jQuery is not modern any more.

Not a frontend guy, picking a direction there has always been challenging.

I disagree. They’ve done a lot of economic damage to China (besides war then it’s probably the best way we have to combat the CCP), and they’ve forced companies to move their manufacturing out of China. Even high-end tech stuff like the iPhone is starting to get assembled outside of China.

In response to the tariffs, China also ended their domestic ownership rules (requiring 50% ownership by Chinese companies) for auto companies and financial institutions.

Obviously something terribly shady is going on here. I’m not disagreeing with you, I just don’t understand how any director level position, let alone an executive, wouldn’t be able to see serious irregularities if such a significant percentage of revenue was phony. There are just way too many knock-on effects when the overwhelming majority of your customers aren’t real, aren’t paying you, and aren’t putting any load or impact on any of your other systems (technical or otherwise). That is some bullshit clown shoes management across the entire company right there

And the CEO or others saying “oh yeah you can’t see all those customers and growth because they’re in this old legacy system that doesn’t report it” is an insane excuse to buy. Holy shit you mean to tell us that the majority of our most important revenue is coming from a legacy systems that we have zero insight into? And it’s continuing to grow? Why aren’t those people on the new system?

> “customer revenue” account controlled solely by the CEO

I cannot fathom a VP of Finance, let alone an outside accounting firm, that would be OK with this arrangement of accounts.

Edit: To be clear I’m not trying to blame the victims. This is a terrible loss to all the employees who have been pouring so much of their efforts into the company. I just am having a hard time understanding how such a thing could happen. Maybe I’ve just been blessed to work in extremely transparent organizations.

I ask because they seem to plant a tree for a single dollar (what you state as your cost to plant a tree).

You then divide the remaining $4 between you and the "influencer"?

That seems like an inappropriate markup to me.

As a consumer, why would I pay you $5 to plant 1 tree when some other service will plant 5 for me?

Additionally, those other services are 501s and contributions are tax deductible. Is your company a 501? If not, are you planning on just keeping the tax deductions you would get from then using some other service to plant your trees?

Honestly, what other people do with their data/privacy concerns doesn't affect my life. So, if they are cool with that, that's on them.

I loved writing Z80 assembly back in the 1980s but it was a bit of as shock to find out from Ken Shirriff [1] that this 'number cruncher' had a 4 bit ALU.

EDIT: Just to be clear this is in no way intended to be a criticism of the Z80. On the contrary it's a tribute to the ingenuity of Federico Faggin and Masatoshi Shima that they were looking for ways to 'save' transistors in the ALU in a way which no-one would notice, which presumably enabled them to add more features elsewhere.
> Historically, collectivist thinking hasn't been positive for anyone who's interests fall outside of the narrow interests of those in power.

Doesn't that really depend on your choice of examples? I could for example point to the Montreal protocol as a highly successful example of collectivist thinking that has been hugely positive for basically everyone, perhaps outside of a narrow few in the refrigerants industry.

Epic also owns an app store, so any constraints on what Apple can do in their walled garden constrain what Epic is allowed to do in its walled garden.

Hi there and thanks for your message!
Yes, you can upload your patients’ files on Cubbit because their privacy is guaranteed by our zero-knowledge cryptographic architecture. You can read more about it here (https://help.cubbit.io/hc/en-us/sections/360003191800-Securi...) but in short files uploaded in our network are encrypted with AES-256 and split into dozens of chunks. Each chunk is distributed in more than one copy via end-to-end encrypted channels across our network to ensure redundancy and constant uptime. The user's password is not known to us nor to the coordinator server, and its related randomly-generated encryption key is stored client-side.
Answering your second question: Cubbit differs from traditional cloud storage services in several ways:

-->Distribution: traditional cloud platforms run on data centers, Cubbit, instead, is the first cloud platform for the general public that is built on a distributed network of devices owned by the users.

-->Security: most traditional cloud platforms do not enforce the highest security standard, as their business model is based on exploiting the users’ data. Because of this, traditional cloud platforms open themselves to data breaches, leaks, and a wide variety of attacks. Cubbit instead employs encryption, distribution, and a zero-knowledge architecture to protect the users’ data.

-->Control: More often than not, user data is owned by the corporation running the data center. With Cubbit, our users own their data.

-->Eco-friendliness: Cubbit is designed to minimize the carbon footprint. Thanks to its distributed architecture, Cubbit saves a lot of energy compared to traditional cloud platforms, which are burdened by maintenance costs (the data center needs to be cooled down to work properly) and long data transfers, that in certain cases can be as energy-consuming as data storage itself.

I love using a 32" 8k monitor for working with text/code. To me, as a software engineer who stares at code all day, higher quality text rendering is sufficient justification for 8k.

I tried playing a few games at 8k (just for fun) and found that it simply wasn't worth the frame rate hit, or really even that noticeable an improvement with the assets in the games I tried.

One nice property of 8k resolutions is that they have an integer scaling factor from both 4k (2x) and 1440p (3x), so if you have an 8k monitor you can play games at either of those resolutions with high quality scaling.
>Assange is unprincipled enough that he'll say whatever Trump/the thugs running the West wants, so he can be freed.

Hi Victor,
Books as such I can’t tell, but I’m working on tutorials on table design.

For instance, imagine the UX of Amazon or Ebay showing you a table with all of their products. Like AMD does in this page: https://www.amd.com/en/products/specifications/processors

In short, their problem is not about table design, but how to design without a table.

In other words, think of table as a detail, as opossed to a starting point. Sometimes a table would fine, especially if it has no row variants. But if you have conditional actions across rows, or too many unused fields per row, then a table would be too difficult to implement and use.

As you mentioned contextual actions in a table, I’m pretty sure you can provide a better UX if you don’t use a table. For example, in my product I started out with a table drafting out the team members per account (invite, resend invited, remove, etc). But I ended up better by using cards. So I drafted each row variant in a card.
GDP is an indicator of economic activity, and company revenue is, too. We can compare those, albeit imprecisely. It's mindboggling that some of the largest companies bring in more revenue than entire countries.

Walmart brings in ~$524 billion annually, more than the nominal GDP of all but the top 25 countries. That's more than Nigeria, which has around 200 million people!
The Muse (YC W12) Is Hiring a Director of Account Management
Edit:

Everyone trying to turn this into a users vs devs thing. Come of it.

Apple could have made a social media login that respects privacy.

Put it out into the world. Advertise "Apple's social media login is the only one that keeps your privates private".

Had developers adopt it and it becomes a new de-facto login besides Google and Facebook.

It's great for users, good for devs, not as easy to abuse (Apps could watch what Apple is doing right now with Epic and back out instead of wringing their hands they might be next for example...)

...

Instead they force developers to implement a new feature with deep integration into app's backends, customer lifecycles, and an implicit change on all platforms they serve.

Like seriously people:

> The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function.

I support user privacy, and I don't think what they did is ok. How is that so hard to grasp?

Being anti-"How Sign in with Apple is mandatory" not being anti-privacy, it's not even being anti-"Sign in with randomized emails" in a vaccum.

The problem is _forcing that choice on others_.

-

Do you actually imagine it makes it less ridiculous, or do you not realize how prevalent social logins are not just in apps, but on the internet in general?

Social logins are the de-facto login method on mobile

Apple gets to just make their own social login and ignore concepts like risks in implementation to devs and just boop now everyone has to use it.

It's almost comical! They played the "this is a privacy deal" card which is cool, but then the idea they actually forced a new social login option apps based on the platform they run on... absolute insanity.

It's like Apple is just begging for scrutiny these days, they really do think they've become Microsoft in the 90s
WeChat isn't at all successful in the US, and it's known for its censorship even inside China, average Chinese are more concerned about iPhones and WeChat inside China.

Holding up the Apple Watch as an example of apple being innovative is a bit weak no? Maybe I'm just a pleb but a smartwatch is a toy, as opposed to the iPhone was a real innovation. I would use it for running telemetry, but I'm not aware of one that just does telemetry - I get a message on the little internet on my wrist, so I get the big internet out of my pocket to read it?
