This is why I see little hope for Python, which is to say that while I'm sure it will continue to have a large following for many years a la C, C++, etc, I don't have hope for it being an exciting language or one that is particularly productive. Python already has performance and packaging problems which don't seem to be easily divorced from CPython, since virtually the whole reference implementation is depended upon directly by much of the ecosystem due to the sprawling C-extension interface.

Pypy has done yeoman's work in improving performance while maintaining compatibility with an impressive amount of the ecosystem, and even still there are many important packages which aren't compatible with Pypy and for which Pypy-compatible analogs don't exist (or aren't supported/maintained). For example, the only Pypy-compatible Postgres drivers were unsupported last I checked.

Moreover, the Python community (or at least its leadership) seems to have very little energy around tackling these longstanding problems. Meanwhile, there are many other languages which are not only performant, but which are rapidly encroaching on Python's historically unique(ish) "easiness" (in the sense that Python is considered "easy", which is to say for people who don't have to manage build/deploy/packaging/etc or otherwise have performance issues). Further, many of these languages continue to improve at a remarkable pace, while Python is content to rest on the laurels of its scientific computing mindshare--and given the rather poor nature of the numeric computing package APIs and their somewhat low performance ceiling, I don't expect Python to be so dominant in this domain in another 5-10 years, especially as more companies need to figure out how to productionize scientific workloads.
I certainly don't have numbers to back it up but I'd guess WAY more purchase (or not) decisions come from holding phones in hands rather than reviewers complaining about a phone being too thick.
This is especially true for people who do not have a family to fallback on. Imagine what would happen if a brilliant engineer in his late 20s, single, but parents have passed away and had no family. Now imagine one day he gets in an accident and all a sudden he is no longer brilliant, loses his job and all a sudden he can't pay his medical expenses.
The same thing happened with the 2080 / Titan and looks to be confirmed for the 3000 series by AnandTech. https://twitter.com/RyanSmithAT/status/1301996479448457216

The Reddit AMA implies the Ampere architecture supports this configuration but is software limited under the FP32 section:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/ilhao8/nvidia_rtx_3...

To epistemologically correct, I don't believe one will ever see a statement from NVIDIA confirming that this is a software limitation. I believe it's just inferred.

edit: This is close to confirmation: https://imgur.com/a/RH8vyz9 -though I may suspect there are non reversible hardware fuses at play too.
Not necessarily.

For one, it probably doesn't take much smarts to fill out the paperwork or trick the system. The system is full of people who don't know their job and have no real incentive to (can be difficult to fire government employees).

For example, I am involved with a case in which a state trooper made 4 or 5 mistakes, including mis-citing a statute so badly that the court system shows it as invalid and he lacked probable cause to write the citation under the statute that he tried to cite, and thus we were subjected to unjust restrictions for weeks. The trooper even lied to the judge. I filed a complaint and the subsequent investigation confirmed his mistakes, yet he still has a job... after lying to a judge in court to cover up his mistakes... Did I mention that the judge in the case was replaced because he was arrested on multiple charges (gambling with campaign funds, perjury, etc). The courthouse will not give us replies to many of our requests, such as our petition under the pertainate judicial rule to dismiss the case. They can't even issue a correctly formed subpoena duces tecum.

So yeah, I feel disillusioned with the effectiveness and legitimacy of the system. Our lives are ruled by morons. I'm considering contacting a civil rights lawyer so this stuff doesn't happen to others in the future.

Second, intelligence is often the most overstated component to success according to many studies on the topic.

GodFather II:

Senator Pat Geary:
I can get you a gaming license. The price is $250,000, plus a monthly payment of five percent of the gross of all four hotels. [sneers] Mr. Corl-ee-own-eh.

Michael Corleone:
Now, the price of a gaming license is less than $20,000. Is that right?

Senator Pat Geary:
That's right.

Michael Corleone:
So why would I ever consider paying more than that?

Senator Pat Geary:
Because I intend to squeeze you. I don't like your kind of people. I don't like to see you come out to this clean country with your oily hair, dressed up in those silk suits, passing yourselves off as decent Americans. I'll do business with you, but the fact is that I despise your masquerade, the dishonest way you pose yourself. Yourself and your whole f*ing family.

Michael:
Senator. We're both part of the same hypocrisy...but never think it applies to my family.

Senator Pat Geary:
[exasperated] Okay. Some people need play little games. You play yours. Let's just say that you'll pay me because it's in your interest to pay me. But I want your answer and the money by noon tomorrow. And one more thing. Don't you contact me again, ever. From now on, you deal with Turnbull.

Michael:
Senator? You can have my answer now, if you like. My offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.

> I don't get why people object to performance work on languages not intended for performance.

Presumably because they see it as effort that could be better applied elsewhere.

I don't know that I agree, but I can understand the viewpoint.

It's a basic engine feature now with a toggle in the major engines.
> Weird, because I keep hearing about the alternative platforms getting kicked offline. Krebs has a story about trying to kill 8chan right now. Gab had its payment processing suspended, etc.

8chan hosting is a legitimate liability concern. This is not an apples to apples comparison of businesses operating in good faith with reasonable policies and practices.

I don't see the slippery slope. "If someone is able to shut down our unabashed cesspool, eventually they're going to start coming for sites that aren't cesspools!"
Flutter is just for people who need to get something basic done without too much trouble, I think. It's been over a decade of mobile UI iteration and we still don't have something that does everything for all OSes in a declarative way, so I think we are just doomed to writing a native app for each platform if you want performance, correctness in terms of UI, and productivity.

Just a suggestion... I cannot attest for the code quality of the projects on the link below, but I find it easier to start learning from smaller code bases.

So when you have a chance you could take a look at this link that lists one-to-two files libraries: https://github.com/nothings/single_file_libs

I think I came across the link above here on HN a couple of weeks ago.

I also study some of the libs from here: https://github.com/fffaraz/awesome-cpp.

Currently I'm going trough the libs for parsing CSV files. Of them, I find this one particularly interesting: https://github.com/vincentlaucsb/csv-parser. Because of well-commented files.

I hope it helps.
Perhaps a silly idea: could the constellation satellites act together as something like a phased array?
I'm totally in that camp of opinion, although I'll acknowledge the escalating abuses carried out by both "sides."

As a player, not a developer, the usability of TTS for boardgames is heavily dependent on how much effort the developer put into the mod. Good ones have scripts and snap-points that minimize the difficulty of playing in a 3d sandbox environment. More minimal mods can be very difficult to enjoy. If you're having issues, I would recommend starting with a well scripted game.
I think a worse achievement would be a virtual reality hell where we could lock sentient minds to suffer for an eternity.

Being a conscious lab brain might accidentally be bad. Being in hell would be intentional maximal harm.
It's a shame how the core maintainers see CPython as a "reference implementation", rather than an opportunity to make a world-class programming language implementation. That the CPython maintainers have, time and time again, decided for a "simple implementation" has pushed away many professional VM engineers and researchers who would be more than willing to help maintain a JIT.

I also will say that a lot of the complexity of making a Python JIT is all the weird edge cases and special interpreter functionality. To a VM engineer, CPython is a very bizarre codebase; all the complexity is tucked away in corners other than its C codebase.

Your complexity has to go somewhere.

Have you heard of StoryCorp? [0] It's a nonprofit which sets up booths and recording equipment around the world, then records and transcribes intimate conversations between individuals and catalogues those stories in the Library of Congress so they can be found and remembered.

They have hundreds of thousands of conversations at this point. Pretty remarkable initiative, similar in philosophy to yours. Dave Isay, the founder, describes it as a "hope machine", kind of the opposite of reality TV.

StoryCorps also produces these 3-minute summaries of some of their more notable conversations, which cover the whole range of human emotion. Here's a funny personal favorite: https://storycorps.org/stories/betty-jenkins/

can't comment on the specifics of their implementation but the idea behind it is a great one. I currently have a pretty impressive project that is still trapped and works in-breadboard and I want to make a custom arduino mega shield out of it -- but I need more activation energy or a lower bar, I this project helps lower the bar.
Thanks Glen! You've helped in lots of ways that aren't really apparent yet...

_Commercial aviation_ has a stellar safety record. The safety record for private and general aviation flying is pretty atrocious, and non-airline commercial operations (part 91, part 135) have varying levels of safety somewhere in between.

I think there can be little argument against the assertion that modernizing the general aviation fleet would improve safety. The majority of GA aircraft are using 60's technology carburetted reciprocating engines and running on leaded gasoline, and the cockpit is mostly analogue gauges with mechanical vacuum-driven gyros. Every car manufactured since the 90's uses fuel injection, yet GA pilots still need to worry about carburetor icing. That's not even going into other modern safety improvements like digital autopilot or ballistic recovery parachutes.

Media slant is contagious (preprint)
I'm looking at sway and it looks promising (although I wonder how it deals with the many weird corner cases that X11 tiling WMs have had decades to fix and work around) but Sway's home page linked to the wlroots project which is:

>[...] a modular basis for Sway and other Wayland compositors to build upon

I was curious to see what that looked like so I went on the github and the first sentence on the README is:

>Pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor; or about 50,000 lines of code you were going to write anyway.

My jaw literally dropped when I read this. It seemed so wild that I actually cloned the repository and ran sloccount myself to check if there was a catch (there isn't, master is at 53k lines). My DWM is 3k lines and it's fully featured as far as I'm concerned.

I realize that it just pushes a lot of that functionality (and code) into X but at least it separates the concerns, my WM doesn't ship with half of the X11 source code as a hard dependency. Also X11 has been battle tested for literally decades by now, it's not a fast moving project (well, arguably it's quite the opposite, hence the very existence of this discussion).

I haven't looked very deeply at Wayland so I won't say that they're doing it wrong, maybe I'm just missing an important aspect, but the more I learn about it the more it feels like they've thrown the baby out with the bath water.

X11 can be hugely hacky at times and some of it is seriously outdated at the conceptual level, but it also does many things amazingly well, arguably better than any other mainstream desktop environment out there. It's an incredibly flexible, if a bit idiosyncratic system. Wayland seems to fix some of its flaws by introducing a brand new system that comes with its own set of drawbacks.
Yes I own a Tesla Model 3 but that safety rating is just pure bullshit. So they failed it because it can drive anywhere and they don't agree it should be allow a user to use on residential streets or streets not clearly marked. Better yet the car shows that is regonizes the driving lanes even with bad marking. Clearly CR is not judging on ability but instead judging against their own choice.

wow, just wow. that is just as contrived as can be.

as for amount of torque required to deactivate the self driving it not a lot and why would you assume you want the car to retake control immediately afterward? If I took control I want control till I state otherwise. I don't want to suddenly find the car off doing what it wants after I disengaged it through a method they defined as will turn it off.

So no, I do not agree with their safety assessment because the majority ignores the fact that it was designed to drive in those conditions and not require rigidly mapped roads to operate. There is no real point in self driving system that requires perfection in roads and markings.

Hell the scariest part about Tesla's FSD is how well it does work, it makes you wonder why so many cannot get even part way there.

Is it perfect, not on your life. However it is damn better than CR implies and the only real danger is some people might trust it too much regardless how much Tesla says not to. Well guess what, they do that will all LKA and even super cruise.
I remember meeting a woman years ago, probably about 23 years old. She was very attractive with very tan skin. VERY tan skin, to the point of being like leather with wrinkles. She told me that her parents owned a tanning salon and she would use the beds whenever she felt like it.

and then... yeah. I think the risks are pretty predictable but we might have forgotten.
They don't help as much as mass transit but they help in a couple of ways.

The most significant is that we spend a huge amount of inner city land on parking. We could build denser without worrying about that. A fair amount of inner city traffic is people cruising around looking for parking too. Also, outlying rail or subway stops should really have a lot of development around them but often in the US they're surrounded by parking lots for people commuting in to work. Reducing the need for parking really helps in this case.

Also, people currently have to buy a car big enough for their greatest needs. You don't need a large a car when commuting in to work as when you're taking a road trip with your family but if you're thinking of buying a car you need one to do both. So hopefully we see the average car on the road being much smaller than they are now.
Section 230 insulates them from the risk of not removing stuff. Your liability risk as publisher or as a host of third party content before 230 was in what appeared on your site, not what did not appear.

There was little to no liability risk over removing specific material. E.g., if you posted something on my site and I took it down, you had virtually no chance of winning a lawsuit to force me to put it back up or to pay any damages.

Section 230 did not change that, and that's the way it will be if 230 goes away.

What section 230 addressed is the some courts had decided that if I removed some stuff from my site but not other stuff, then I could be liable for that other stuff even if it was posted by my users. So if I removed spam or off topic material, and someone slipped in some libel in another post I could be sued for the libel.

Removing 230 would just go back to that, where I have to chose between letting everything (except stuff that is illegal) on, or being responsible for everything.

No one is going to run a completely unmoderated site for long, which means they are going to opt for heavy moderation.
Not all computers could be upgraded , plus Windows upgrades is not 100% guaranteed to just work. I have a Win7 machine that is used sometimes by my son, I don't want to waste my time to attempt some upgrade or reinstall Windows then all the drivers and programs/games so that PC will run Win7 until it dies.
I used the word "and" there intentionally.
Per-distance statistics may stretch the risk perception as people use planes for different trips than cars. But per journey statistics seems a much bigger error in the other direction. Fatalities with airliners are pretty close to 0 per year whereas 30k+ people a year die in car accidents. Most people know of someone that died that way whereas any airplane accident is national news. 5x really understates that difference. I don't think per-journey numbers are reasonable as a comparison.

The study showing 5x is quite neat, thanks. I expect this to be a floor for the difference though. Once some of the deaths with self-driving cars are shown to be things that human drivers would easily avoid the requirements will be higher, even if in total 5x better has been achieved. For widespread acceptance I'd bet on 10x as a minimum and 100x at the extreme, depending on what types of accidents are in there that shape the perception.
If it's still supported, surely it'll receive updates then?
I can't find the source anymore, but it's my understanding that north of DC you need to supplement 2000IUs or 50mcg nearly half the year, and north of Mexico during Nov-Jan, as the angle of the Earth prevents adequate D production. Not to mention I often don't manage to get 15-30mins of mid-day sun, so I supplement all year round.

In the linux world I work on, a very large percentage of the developers are frequently unknowingly running X via ssh tunnels. Its just to convenient to be able to run the graphical version of tools on the remote dev/test machine than to live all day long restricted only to the GUI tools on your local machine and a terminal session.

The one place that X could use some updating is all the sync method calls, that unlike RDP become quite slow if the network connection has any real latency.
Flutter looks great, and I seriously considered it for my next project. In the end I decided the possibility of Google getting bored and ending support was enough to tip me to using Qt Quick instead - even though I kinda dislike Qt and js, and will have to pay for it.
NVidia does not sell the cards direct, the retailer does. Retailer does not want to deal with that much volatility in price as customers would demand refunds, so it is left to the scalpers to take on the supply risk. It is surprising that the retail version of the cards are available upon release as is and not dedicated for a period of time to OEMs - Apple, Alienware, etc. (volume customers) negotiated for guaranteed supply at premium rates.

An important distinction is Embedded and Real-time. Embedded is the all-encompassing tent, while Real-time is a subset thereof.

Embedded includes things with GUIs, like fridges. We're not dealing with 128k of RAM. These can run basic GC'd apps just fine. Pauses really aren't any more of a concern than on desktop, or even less so.
