I think saying that "they are both gunning to be #1" and "undermining other countries" is more of a projection than reality. Yanis Varoufakis, former Minister of Finance of Greece, who has participated in the Belt and Road Initiative, makes it quite clear that China is "non-interventionist to the point where we can't imagine it": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tJatdtv4jQ

The current trajectory of sinophobia based on incorrect, overblown and unrealistic readings of CCP, indeed does not have a happy ending. That's why the trajectory should be changed.

> the nationalism isn't just some reaction by their citizens to unfairness, it's 100% cultivated by their gov't on purpose.

I'm sorry, try talking to large number of mainland Chinese people first, they'll disagree with you. Blaming everything on "but Chinese people are brainwashed" is just an attempt to deny reality.

You have an extreme view of the CCP's brainwashing capabilities. If they're that good at brainwashing, they would have eradicated many more down-to-earth societal problems a long time ago, such as the societal disdain for vocational jobs. They've been trying to get rid of the social stigma of vocational schools for years now, in order to prevent the job market from being crowded out by too many university graduates, but they've only had limited success.

Try watching some actual Chinese propaganda for a while. You'll see that it's very primitive, not very convincing, and frankly quite bad. I don't know why everybody keeps thinking they're brainwashing masters without even having looked at all the materials.

You realize what has happened in the last four years, right? Four peace accords in the Middle East. ISIS has been destroyed. The US has basically pulled out of Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. The Kurds and Turks aren't killing each other any longer. AND the US hasn't started another war - something that hasn't happened in decades as in going back to WWII.
Which country would that be for the curious?
Yes I posted another link [1] for earning call but didn't get much traction / upvote. Although I have to admit Acquiring Xilinx is much bigger news.

Judging from watching the Financial News and reading analyst's comment for years. My feeling was that their Job was not to push for hard question or an honest answer. Their job is to push whatever interest they had with the company. So a spin for better long term prospect and downplay risk.

I was happy with the Enterprise results ( +116% YoY ) until I read this

>Revenue was higher year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter due to higher semi-custom product sales and increased EPYC processor sales.

Semi-Custom is definitely PS5 and Xbox.

Basically I still dont see EPYC making enough inroad in the Server Market. And this is worrying, while the Stocks, Reviews, Hype are all going to AMD. No Results so far have shown Intel is hurt or AMD is making big gains in market shares and revenue shares.

The only good part I guess is Ryzen Mobile contribution to Computing and Graphics segment.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like the HTC Cosmos is PC VR. The Quest/2 is mobile VR.

While I've had some amazing PC VR experiences (I've been using and working with VR since the DK1). For me, Mobile VR with the capabilities of the Quest is the future.

Mostly, that's because I don't (currently) have a gaming PC or laptop.
I started with it in a new project once, but wasn't allowed to use it because of its Chinese origins, :/

I don't know that much, but I suppose they will do a burn and then some corrections. If mass difference is big enough to be detectable for reentry, it will be detectable when they are going back to earth.

For now the costs are very low, only the domain name and $5 for Heroku. The rest is free, and should remain until I have huge traffic.

But I agree with you, a more optimized architecture could be more scalable, this will be for a second version ;)
> You could start paying while you are in the line by scanning the QR

You can save them in the app and not have to scan every time too. It's pretty common at people's regular lunch places for them to pay while they wait in line. There's no deep technical reason this couldn't be implemented with the card system either, of course.
Nice job! This is really slick. Have you considered other pricing models? One approach that comes to mind:

- Allow the user to use the full tool without ever having to sign-up.
- Charge $3-5 for them to download it. Sign-up optional.
- To prevent them from screenshotting it without paying, add a watermark that only gets removed once they've paid for the download.

I remember seeing a resume generator on HN many years ago that used this model (i.e. no sign up required/pay upon download), and I thought it was clever: 1) it breaks down the barrier to use that the sign up causes; 2) it gets people bought-in/proud of their beautiful cover and thus more likely to pay; 3) allows you to monetize one-time users. Meanwhile, you could also keep the monthly subscription for people who expect to use it a lot (designers, agencies, etc).
You are being dismissive of Axler (with the "personal crusade" comment) and disagree with his position, but it would be less disrespectful of Axler and more beneficial to the discussion (and interesting to me) to give at least some argumentation to match Axler's. That is, why is Axler's approach (in the short paper or the book) worse than the traditional approach?
Closer analogy would be Paypal I think.
I suspect the opposite will actually happen. The resulting Streisand effect will be a shot in the arm for youtube-dl or its immediate forks.

A fairly mundane scraping tool is now a fashionable "punk" project that will "stick it to the Man". Mirroring it is already an act of civil disobedience; developing it you can now explore some interesting problems in the space between the email-only world of Linux kernel development and the centralized Github/Gitlab model (i.e. do for issue-tracking what git did for merging). And it's likely simple enough (it's a python scraper, at the end of the day) that it can mobilize large swaths of developers.

Youtube-dl core developers should double-down on it, right now.
Yes, extra requests your server/application has to send(to Apio) will put load on it. This is just a start so we will have to see how can we optimize this.
Maybe agent based solutions which are used by Datadog or Newrelic might be a better way than Middleware based solutions.

investing can be quite like gambling psychologically, but it isn't necessarily the same thing. it's just one of the many risk vs. reward tradeoffs inherent to life. every time I drive to the grocery store, I am implicitly acknowledging that the risk of being t-boned is outweighed by the reward of having food to eat, even though I am not 100% sure that I will survive my journey or that they will have the food I want.

another key difference is that the expected value of a bet in gambling is less than or equal to zero (depending on house cut). the expected value of a single stock is unknown (at least to a retail investor), but the expected value of a broad portfolio is positive in a growing economy. you can "lose" relative to others and still be better off than if you had not participated.
My running theory is that western society is built around depriving men of certain emotions that say "you are good enough as you are and should be appreciated just as you are"; be that touch, sex (how many times have I heard this cultural fetish that men should transmute their sexual energy to something "better") .

Like cutting branches from a young tree so that it grows taller or straight -- to serve an ulterior purpose.

The ulterior purpose for cutting emotional branches of men is to increase productivity and yield from men, increase obedience to authority figures for fighting wars and so on.

> Unless you want to ship something

I have never had problems distributing binary builds for Linux. There are a number of system libraries that are backwards compatible: glibc, asound, libGL, etc. - test on the oldest you want to support and any other libs you just ship yourself. And that would not be different with only one distro either unless you only care about one release of that distro.
I mean let's not make it more complex than it needs to be.

The answer is in the article. Nothing of consequence happened to them. They think it's ok to do it, because they want to do it and they won't get in trouble for it.

Codecs are a great example.

Let's say the current zen 2 had an FPGA onboard. AMD could sell you an upgraded design with AV1 support for a few dollars. Most people aren't going to buy a new CPU on the basis of a video decoder, but they'll buy an upgrade to the chip that auto "installs" itself. That's a sale AMD otherwise wouldn't have made.

Both use the terminal, but in different ways. A CLI interface uses the basic terminal functionality of writing and perhaps reading lines, or even simply accepting flags and running non-interactively. A TUI uses the terminal's advanced features, using the terminal as the basis for a kind of GUI, generally occupying the full area of the terminal.

Vim, Midnight Commander, and htop have TUIs. They rely heavily on the terminal's 'control character' features to accomplish this. apt-get has a CLI, as its interactive IO is handled with printing lines and having the user submit lines (even if it's just the letter y).

Somewhere in the middle are interfaces like bash and zsh which make light use of the terminal's advanced features for things like auto-complete, but which don't take over the whole terminal area.

I'd count non-interactive applications like gcc and sort as command-line applications, although strictly speaking you could just as well use a graphical interface to configure their flags and run commands.

I don't have to imagine it because that's how it is. Heaven forbid we also call out the CCP when they do something much worse!

Can't have any of that rational self interest, either. When China has rational self interest it's smart, but when the USA has rational self interest it's hypocrisy.

CCP apologetics are so lame.
I'm about 2 hours into setting up an Mobilizon instance for outdoor socially distant activities, but running into problems [1] and at the end of the day federation isn't important to me and I'd prefer the learning opportunity and flexibility of building my own [2].

Curious if any HNers in the PNW region might use such a service to pod up for outdoor socially distant activities (hiking, wilderness cleanup, kayaking, perhaps camping/backpacking/biking, etc). I moved here just pre-COVID, and quarantine, my introverted nature, lack of FB, and tendency to enjoy things that don't involve lots of people being around has left me without as much of a do-things-with group as I might like.

[1] I'm 2+ hours into provisioning/setup, and unfortunately the yarn install keeps hanging/crashing on the $5 digital ocean droplet I provisioned for this, and at the end of the day I'd prefer to have full knowledge and control over the stack. Additionally, for me federation isn't important, all I want is an open architecture that respects privacy.

[2] To keep things simple for myself and users, it wouldn't be federated, instead there would be a single domain I manage that hosts the events. The architecture would of course be open source, and my goal would be to make the entire project be available as some sort of { docker image / kubernetes cluster / DO App / heroku thing / something } such that anyone can easily launch their own instance without needing to dedicate 2+ hours to the process, and more importantly any user can find activities to join in on without needing to set up an account/provide email/etc.

That's not true. NYP:s audience is much bigger than Gab or Parler.
Most aquisition I have seen have not been aqui-hire but aqui-fire. A company spins off or sells a chunk to another company that they no longer want but can't afford to lay off. Often to large consultancies etc whom then offer a worse deal or a year later offer a worse deal, and most people leave. Problem solved as no long term union negotiation and long severance pay needed as they left on their own accord... And the consultancy gains some IP and maintenance contracts it can ship off elsewhere.
I'm in a similar boat. Except I started with emacs so i could learn org-mode. i dropped spacemacs and went to Doom (which i greatly prefer).

In Doom, i get to org-mode with SPC-X. it's great. it's helping me learn emacs, too.
I was afraid to ask the same question. I can do it, I can program it, and I can check to see if it's correct, but I can't for the life of me understand why somebody saw fit to describe matrix multiplication the way they did.

That might of been a serious problem in 1995, but certainly throwing 64-128gb of ram at a postgres box isn't that uncommon?

I'm also curious how you got 10mb per connection (if I'm reading your parenthetical correctly). I've seen a PG box with a few hundred active connections sitting happily at just a gig of ram. Obviously WHAT you do with those connections may well change that but that isn't pg-wire overhead.

Still confused about the sunlit part. That changes with the moons rotation around the earth, so is it only prevalent when sunlight is shining?

Awesome find otherwise. Would indeed be interesting how the moon can keep it. Maybe our moon is a giant sponge.

The US is supplying weapons to Saudi-Arabia which they use to fight in Yemen. The US has helped replace democratic governments to military / authoritarian regimes in Latin America (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...), leading to countless deaths and the very same refugee crisis that Trump is so worried about.

The US does NOT have the moral high ground here. At least acknowledge that the US sucks. China sucks too. Everybody sucks.
It definitely improves resilience against crashing worker processes though.
You don't need an account to RSVP to events; you can participate anonymously. That makes sense, since this is designed with activists in mind.
There is a subsection called matrix multiplication that is about this, and which explicitly mentions the proof of associativity both in the "clear" way and in the "slog through indices" way.
I'm a long-time judoka. I took it up as a very awkward teenager, and it had incalculable benefits for my social comfort and development. And I've seen it do the same for others, beyond what might be expected for an athletic/social hobby.

Part of the effect seems straightforward enough - self-confidence at gaining newfound abilities, exercise, socializing, maintaining emotional self-regulation while engaging in controlled "fighting", etc.

But I think there is also something to the mere act of touching other humans and being touched several times a week. As the article suggests, it's comforting, fulfilling a basic human need. I wonder how this all plays out in the brain - can someone with a neuroscience background comment? Is the sense of touch specifically connected to brain areas of social well-being?

Edit:

"Many neuroscientists and psychologists believe that we have a dedicated system just for the perception of social – affective – touch distinct from the one that we use to touch objects. This system seems to be able to selectively recognise caress-like touch; this is then processed in the insula, a brain area connected to maintaining our sense of self and an awareness of our body. Slow, caress-like touch is not only important for our survival, but also for our cognitive and social development: for example, it can influence the way we learn to identify and recognise other people from early in life."

I mean yes, but also in mechanical engineering communities (and maybe others) we don't typical think of physics simulations in the way you do--it is well understood as a FEA tool which solves the shit we learned in undergraduate or a user provided weak form and nobody would confuse it with e.g. molecular dynamics, dft, particle dissipative dynamics.

Even though there are specialized tools, there is definitely a market for comsol like products. A problem here is they don't differentiate from comsol.

That being said, he/she/it/their would do a lot better focusing on a particular niche. For example thermal desktop is used for widely in the space industry for space simulations because it is the only off the shelf solver which does radiative heat transfer and controls well. But all the thermal analysts I know the UI is basically garbage and it solves their models way to slowly. They also have huge issues with their simulations taking for every so if you hammered on that problem for a while you would probably end up with a customer base.
So, you have a test setup. In addition to violating the privacy of the employee, I assume you could see the employee workstation and whatever information of an actual client that may be on screen.
FPGA development tools are generally dated, very very expensive, and one way streets for customisation.

I always wondered why they didn't just fetch the necessary parsing-logic plugins from a remote repository at runtime, the first time a given site is requested. There are some security implications, but it seems easier to handle than requiring a full update every time a website rejiggles its pages.
I'm not a beekeeper, and sure, the modern hives are also optimized for productivity and easy access(bees are forced to produce more honey than they would naturally produce) -- but hives entrances have certain dimensions taken from nature so the bees can cool the hive -- you cannot make the entrances smaller or the hive will overheat.
People at the time thought computers were "good enough" as well. Part of Amiga's influence was its ability to show us what computing could do in our day to day life (games, video, etc.) that we didn't even know we wanted until it was there. So I have to think there's something that could come along and capture that essence again. I'd say the iPhone represented a similar qualitative jump, though by that time Apple had lost the identity of David to the industry's Goliath.

I lack the creativity to guess what the next thing might be, but if I was put on the spot, I'd say perhaps VR. Some device/software combo will come along and make VR accessible and sensible for the masses.

I too never really grokked some essential points of linear algebra until I (re)learned it from a chapter in Hungerford's Algebra book, part of Springer's yellow GTM series. I was taught from Strang in undergrand, and while I did well in the course, I often found myself blind as to what all these computations meant. I recall that Strang had said in his preface that the subject had been taught too abstractly and the crucial importance missed, which reading Greub e.g. or other treatises of that era may be true.
Devil’s advocate, what about this conduct was criminal? It seems abhorrent to me, but most likely a civil matter.
