Nobody's saying the Americans can't do it.

What I'm saying is it's largely hypocritical -- telling China they need to open up their markets to foreign businesses from America just the way Americans do for foreign entities, and then once a Chinese company becomes successful enough to garner the slightest bit of attention forcing a sale to an American company. It's exactly the thing America has been accusing China of doing for mandatory joint ventures.

They can do it, by all means, however it further erodes the brand value of America on the world stage as "open for business."
It's strange how so many in the US have adopted the mindset that it's important, for national security, to deny its citizens access to foreign social networks.

Previously, when China did the same, this was widely viewed as an unfortunate restriction their freedoms -- the actions of an intrusive, authoritarian government.

Now that the US is itself considering doing the same, many in the west have suddenly adopted the attitude that China had it right all along.

Very surprising!

The time budget to refresh a video frame is 8ms on 120HZ if everything else came free. In practice closer to <4ms. So even looking at the close to worst conditions, that's about the delay of the sound traveling a meter - should be fine for a lot of real life applications.
While it's a difficulty in understanding a Linux system as a whole, it means you can understand pieces without understanding the entire system. One of the major difficulties I've had learning about Windows systems is that it's one coherent system (as least compared to Linux), so it's hard to understand a component without also having to understand how it integrates with the entire system.
What it seems to be is that people prefer having people around for part of the day but not in their way while working. People with families but no office to get away from everyone struggle and people alone 24/7 struggle.

Personally I live with 4 other family members but have a dedicated room with a dual monitor setup so I find this to be ideal.

> The PilBox App itself (called the "PilBox kernel") is written in Java, the normal Android way. It displays a WebView GUI, and starts a PicoLisp binary compiled for Arm64 CPUs. This binary may now run any PicoLisp program, by setting up a local web server where the WebView component connects to, possibly opening a database, and doing whatever is desired.

So the GUI is a website shown in an app.

How do you quantify the life and healthcost of the mining, “recycling”, and disposal of the PV and the battery?

PV and batteries are expected to last only three decades or a decade+, respectively.

Unlike a centralized power source, decentralized power has all of the downsides that we have today with consumer garbage. Disposal is left to the consumer, which means it’s just going into landfills.

In that case, if header-only is outside the scope of the license, it begs the question why they would pick that license in the first place. But anyways, it doesn't seem clear from the passage how headers fit in, considering that these headers are not just APIs, they contain the implementation themselves.

This is classic way of reducing CPU usage, just bounce a part of a track to raw audio an play it back so it doesn't need to render in real time. A GPU doesn't really change the equation there.

There are some methods of synthesis which rely on FFT which can't really be done well in real-time with the CPU (PadSynth, PaulStretch) that I'm hoping this will help with.

No, because they inevitably lack at least one (usually all) of the following:

- A working CI pipeline.

- Comprehensive tests.

- Enforced linting/formatting.

- A script (or at least documentation) to set up a dev env from scratch (including resetting it if it already exists).

- Documentation of things which would take days or weeks to discover when working without the original developers, such as high-level trade-offs, code style which is not enforceable using linting (such as "Use Foo.frobnicate rather than the built-in frobnicator because …") references to issue trackers, former non-committing project-related people such as business analysts, separate documentation, credentials etc.

That said, I keep getting more and more picky about what it means to have a good code base, so in a few years I'm sure this list will be woefully incomplete.
You can read off a GPU in 10us, which is just a single sample at 96khz.

If your entire stack lived in the GPU, and you're just reading out the result, this is trivial.

If you're constantly copying buffers back and forth because some effects are implemented in the CPU and some in the GPU, not so much!

It's probably the case that a full stack GPU implementation would blow what we have out of the water, but you'd lose your entire ecosystem in the process, so it's probably never going to happen.

>First, fathers' increasing involvement in childcare led to higher labor force attachment among mothers. This may have raised the opportunity cost of an additional child. We also find that men reported lower desired fertility after the reform, possibly due to their increased awareness of the costs of childrearing, or to a shift in preferences from child quantity to quality.

These honestly sound like good things to me. Fathers raising children increased the chance for women to participate in the labour force, men become more aware of what it takes to raise a child, and the quality of child rearing increases.

Don't think more children was necessarily the point of the policy.

"Just Have A Think" put out a video about geothermal energy today. Iceland and California both have large faults they use for short distance access (3km) to the >200 Celsius available at an average depth of ~40km everywhere else in the world.

I'm not sure of the implications of drilling that deep, but since horizontal drilling is required for steam return - could it ever be an avenue down which to deploy drilling assets that were originally used for fracking? If oil prices stay depressed, and California achieves total ban of gasoline vehicles before 2035, then oil demand is going to drop more and it would be good to continue to utilize advanced drilling tech that would ultimately be able to start up a grid anywhere there is lower than average crust depths.
>It's a Chinese company, they have privledges, not rights.

Neither Bytedance nor TikTok are Chinese companies.

It's true that Bytedance has buildings in Beijing, and a Chinese app (Taotiao) that is a Chinese subsidiary, but Bytedance is a Cayman's Islands company and TikTok doesn't even have servers inside China.

For purposes of the Chinese National Intelligence Law compelling the company to share user information with the CCP, Apple shares way more user data than TikTok does.

Oh, so much. Machine translation doesn't understand context and routinely fails at fairly basic translation tasks.

Here's part of the Google translation of the front page of ja.wikipedia.org into English:

> 非行少年の再非行の抑止や更生を目的としており、決定までの過程として、「非行事実を家庭裁判所に送致・通告 - 家庭裁判所調査官（以下「調査官」と略称する）等による調査 - 調査結果をふまえた審判 - 必要に応じて保護的措置あるいは保護処分を決定」という流れを経るのが通例である。

> And for the purpose of deterrence and rehabilitation of re-delinquency of juvenile delinquents, as the process of until a decision, " the fact delinquency to the family court -up Reel-notice - family court investigators (referred to hereinafter as" investigators "), or the like by the survey - survey It is customary to go through the flow of " judgment based on the result- decide protective measures or protective measures as necessary ".

That's barely recognizable as English. The translation is hot garbage. Perhaps something you might use if you had an emergency.

Just to point out here... the text on the front page of Wikipedia tends to be very neutral, matter-of-fact, and well written. There are no characters (like in novels), no use of slang, and nothing else that should be tricky for translation, and yet we get this garbage.

It's a miracle that machine translation works at all, and when it does work, it is usually because you are translating between languages that are fairly similar to begin with. For example, English and Spanish.

That's what MT based on neural networks will do: their output can look great, but the correspondence with the input can be highly inaccurate.

Depending upon what getting together sometimes looks like, it can still give a lot of flexibility. If it's come in 2 days per week, you probably still need to live a 2-3 hour drive away. (Not that some consultants etc. don't sly to a work location every week.)

Read the replies from Chinese nationals on HN defending TikTok. Even they don't pretend you can say anything you want there. Their argument is "How much time would you really spend discussing Tiananmen or criticizing the CCP? Is it really worth losing contact with your friends or colleagues who use TikTok and WeChat?"

In my opinion, absolutely. Stop it now before it gets too powerful to ban. WeChat already has 19 million US users.
Hehe.

When I was about 12, I printed out the entire disassembly for the Disk version of Elite on the BBC, on a dot matrix printer.

So I had my own fully documented source code for Elite back in the day :-)

If you use open source software long enough, you will eventually be disappointed in a design decision. In this case, it was a big surprise when a tool I'd been using since the early 1990s suddenly changed its output with absolutely no warning. This is both an expected result from using Gentoo, and simultaneously very disappointing.

I don't think I was the only person unhappy with this. The fact that https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/quotes.html exists seems to indicate that others feel as I do.

Furthermore, I was disappointed by the reaction from both the developers and other people leaping to their defense who felt that they'd been personally insulted by users suggesting that this may have been better as a non-default option. If I can set QUOTING_STYLE=literal everywhere, surely the distro maintainers who wanted this could have set QUOTING_STYLE=shell-escape?

I'd be the first to say that everyone is free to disagree with me. I have the source, I have a workaround, I adapt.
> And in this case POTUS has the power when it comes to foreign entities. It is enshrined in the constitutions.

Bytedance is not owned by the Chinese government. It's an independent company, as is TikTok.
> only one of them is run by a government.

And the rest are run by the ultra-rich. They care about the interests of the Americans not much more than the CCP.
> With no dependency tracking it was just a manually-maintained bag of class-and-method definitions

True. A simple improvement would be to make the change-list contain also the (single) previous version of every changed methods, as well as the class-definition that was in effect when the method was changed. That would not have been too much added code to carry I think.

Then maybe augment the importer so it warns if the previous versions don't match the current versions if the new versions don't match either.

In the end a tool is just a tool, to make programming easier and to find errors more easily. No tool solves all the problems. That is why I think Smalltalk was so great even if it didn't have compile-time type-checking, it was still easy and fast to spot errors in your code.
> I think the debate is now essentially over, the reactive approach is winning.

Is this really true? My intuition is that reactive UIs are fantastic for widgets and "wraps a database" type apps, but fall flat when it comes to deeply interactive software where performance and responsiveness is paramount — i.e. where there's a tight feedback loop between user input and rendering, and where the model state tends to be quite large and granular. (DAWs, drawing/illustration software, movie editors, mapping applications, text editors, etc.) I also get the sense that most revolutionary or industry-changing software falls into this category. So how can the reactive approach be anything other than a small tool in the app developer's toolbox?

Could somebody dissuade me from this notion? In my admittedly limited experience with the reactive paradigm, I feel like I run into a wall as soon as I've implemented all the basic widgets and need to actually work on the main content view of my app. It doesn't feel like it could ever be a good fit for software that pushes boundaries.

(Perhaps this is an entirely separate matter from "object-oriented UI" vs. "reactive UI", though. Or maybe I'm "using it wrong", in the sense that reactive UIs are meant to be mostly about widgets and not complex interactive views. But then I often hear people talk about reactive UI as the future of app development, so I'm not sure.)
