I don't see the word "efficient" in the abstract, so I would have to guess that it means a high amount of graphene can be produced compared to the inputs, and not that it's quick or energy-efficient.
Which of the actions they've listed would you like to be able to do without fear of repercussion? This sounds an awful lot like "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service? So much for the 'tolerant left.'"

The Paradox of Tolerance indicates that a society that is infinitely tolerant will eventually be overrun by the least tolerant.

OK, that does require an apology; I missed that, and it does change the tenor of your argument. It is unclear to me how to combine supporting musicians' abusers with supporting musicians, but this is not a productive conversation, so I'm dropping it.
Happened to me I aced everything and when the interview walked into the room I saw it on their face (too old). Thankfully that only happened once and the company wen under at some point thereafter so good thing I didn't get hired.
That's not quite true, there's this project, that already has the boilerplate written for you:

https://github.com/BlazorExtensions/Canvas

It supports both Canvas2D and WebGL. The API supports batching calls across the interop barrier, so that the interop performance costs are minimized.
As for Blazor being slow: please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding, that Blazor code is interpreted, because JIT compilation in wasm is not really possible. The implementation of AoT compilation, which will fix the perf issues is coming along, but it's not quite there yet.
> Did you ever wonder about the discrepancy in tech that occurred at that time the first iPhone appeared? We were all using desktops or fairly clunky laptops. Then, out of nowhere, we have touchscreens, cameras, maps, etc AND the power of a desktop machine, in a device that's 1/20th the size! It was such a staggering leap!

I was around when it came out. There was no staggering leap. The first iPhone was nowhere near desktop power and the camera wasn’t meaningfully better than what was available in other high-end “feature phones” or the blackberry.

The major breakthrough was the real browser and the capacitive touchscreen. It didn’t even have an App Store.

The M1 is a 4+4 big.little core configuration. It only has 4 fast cores, not 8. In a multi-threaded workload those little cores will still help, sure, but not nearly as much.

Hence why in that multi-core result the 4c Intel is way closer to the 8c M1 than it "should" be.

I don't know about Google, but I have done this twice.

In the second instance I used the competitive offer to get a 20% raise and I stayed at the company 2 more years and later got a promotion.

> where candidates of underrepresented groups are dissuaded by a lack of pre-existing representation

I don't understand this persepective from candidates. The job market must be really good if they can use this as a metric for pursuing a job opportunity. I was the only person from my country when I joined my current employer. It never even crossed my mind that it could be an issue.

There was also a post on HN a few months ago that said asking minorities to attend things like recruiting fairs in order to show the diversity of the employer was unfair.

It's a chicken and egg situation for employers.

Yet another communist utopia idea...

As usual they're missing:
- Who does all that work, and why? Someone must be incentivised to clear that living room between his lounging and the business meetings.
- Who decides what stuff you get to use? Oh there's no shopping huh. Great. Everything you rent is just perfect for you? Well who makes sure of that? The AI? So your will is what? A calculation?
- The fallacious idea of "Privacy is not a necessary cause I'm not doing anything wrong" except that everyone is, all the time. No system of rules has ever had enough gray areas, and most of the victims of invaded privacy are normal people not doing anything extreme.

I realise this is an article meant as a talking point start. I just find this style of typical communist/rousseau utopia very tiresome. It's so incredibly dehumanised and boring.

Sorry for the rant.
> most female candidates are highly, highly sought-after, and are quickly hired by top tech companies

Let's say we believe that women are on average equally as capable of men, and we know there are maybe 10-20% as many women in the industry.

Are those 10-20% women roughly as good as the average man, or are they roughly as good as the top 10-20% of men? Have they had the same experience as average men, or have they fought through and survived discriminatory barriers?

Even if we suppose the answer is somewhere in-between, it wouldn't be surprising that women are highly sought-after. Because with these assumptions, the women in the industry are generally likely to be better on average.

Maybe we don't observe discrimination against women in this specific context* (post-application and pre-salary negotiation), but that doesn't mean it isn't occurring elsewhere.

I personally enjoy Spotify discovery a lot, the "Discover Weekly" and "Release Radar" playlists made me discover some bands I would have otherwise missed.
I bet it would be a ton of fun to purchase one of these to hack around with, but I imagine they ensure they don't end up in the hands of regular people.

But who knows I once thought the same of ATMs and electronic gas pumps.

For some definitions of "Pro" ;-).

Every professional group has different bottlenecks. For me, the amount of memory is more of a problem than CPU speed and I couldn't care less about GPU, although I like having more screens. These Pros would be a tight fit for me, but other people may want a faster CPU more than large memories, so everyone's mileage may vary. I suppose the next generation will bump it up to 32 or 64GB, so they may be more comfortable for me.

One thing I'd love would be more low-power cores. I don't do heavy lifting on VMs and, because of that, these cores seem like perfect for that little MySQL container. Also, the lower the single-thread performance, the sooner you'll see concurrency issues.

I appreciate that closer perspective - I've never been even moderately involved so I expect I only see the noisy things.

The earlier machines I've worked on always did come across as well designed and at least generally well thought through.
> In .NET, the usual convention is that you make required things constructor arguments, so that there's no room for confusion.

Except in Windows Forms, where the norm is a zero-argument constructor and setting everything via properties, because that approach works with component-based design-time tools. Come to think of it, I think WPF and its descendants do the same.
There is no emulation per se, there is a one time AOT translation of Intel to Arm. Then that native code just runs. So no emulator is running on the cpu while the app is.

There is an exception for apps with JIT and those will perform poorly (think Chrome and every Electron app).
Ok, so what? It's not used in that context anymore. It's the same pitfall as the master/slave/blacklist/whitelist/etc. arguments: people have a problem divorcing historical meaning from present-day usage. Meanings change and evolve over time. If we follow this stunted logic, then there's going to be a lot of other English words/phrases that need to be banned as well. The only people associating them with their historical meanings are those wanting to ban the phrases. These etymological fallacies do nothing but pointlessly divide people. It needs to stop.
I'd second that!

I use the heck out of SSE to add update notifications to various of my apps because it's just so easy to do. Have it glued to a Redis stream (or pubsub channel) with https://github.com/bonkabonka/sseredis (though that shim looks like it needs a bit of love and a better README.)
Of course, but I'd say this is less a 'slow motion breakup', which has obviously already been going on for the last few years, as Intel has been cruising along oblivious, while Apple has been furiously building it's own capabilities and an escape, and more a case of 'divorce papers have now been filed, but these things take time to conclude'
I agree.

There has been research on demographics pertaining to college majors and their career opportunities in the context of why some demographics make less money than others after graduating with a 4 year degree. One of the main factors that came up in the interviews was, like you said, the lower earning demographics wanted to have a bigger community impact, but that those jobs simply paid less money (like social workers).

Interesting point. So on the one hand we have all these layers in the CPU to abstract away things in the ISA that are not ideal for block level implementation... but on the other hand compilers are still targeting that high level ISA... and ironically they also have their own more general abstraction, the intermediate representation.

I'm probably not the first or last to suggest this but... it seems awfully tempting to say: why can't we throw away the concept of maintaining binary comparability yet and target some level of "internal" ISA directly (if intel/AMD could provide such an interface in parallel to the high level ISA)... with the accepted cost of knowing that ISA will change in not necessarily forward compatible ways between CPU revisions.

From the user's perspective we'd either end up with more complex binary distribution, or needing to compile for your own CPU FOSS style when you want to escape the performance limitations of x86.

> If you don't want to write any unit tests, for which there are a myriad of reasons not to, whether you're prototyping, throwing together a small once and done for a client, etc.
Then it's just a massive waste of time and gets in the way.

A massive waste of time? Adding a constructor and one line to startup.cs is a massive waste of time? Just how long does it take you?

> It's also something that if you're not working regularly with it can be very mysterious and when it fails, fails at run-time, quite inscrutably sometimes.

If DI fails it’s usually just because you’ve forgotten to add that one line to the startup.cs, and the error you get will tell you that. Can you give me a concrete example of how DI is inscrutable?
Variously:

- You're emitting side-channel metadata all the time, most especially location and activity data (especially if you have any mobile devices) which is 1) useful 2) identifying and 3) very expensive to spoof.

- Purchase and other commercial / financial activity likewise. These are literally expensive, and hence credible signals.

- Unless you're spamming your contacts regularly, your social networks and interactions are also highly reliable and difficult to spoof.

- Dang would not be pleased by a sudden influx of GPT-3 posters on HN. Similar reactions likely for other online services.

- So long as your legitimate / semantically significant activity is present with minimal obfuscation, that signal exists and is easy to tease out.

- If your activities are interactive and responsive, rather than scheduled, poisoning is less viable and more visible.

Data fuzzing / poisoning works fairly well (though not even always then) for systems such ss numbers stations: broadcast-mode distribution, regularly-timed transmissions, consistently encrypted (no cleartext), no location or movement signals from recipients, and no transactional activities --- whether financial mor social.

For all else, not so much.

I could see some value to, say, search-engine spamming (with spurious searches), or ads networks (fake clicks). For the rest, it's just plain hard.

Think threat models; what are you hoping to accomplish/protect, from whom, at what cost(s)?
two problems here;

1. For a new comer to the language, this is still too much of a hurdle.
2. If I wanted to use F# only as a proxy for C#, then I would rather use C#. I want to write F# code in a functional first and idiomatic way.

This is the stock answer I have gotten in the .Net Community and as someone who wants to use F# for web apps, its a huge turn off. There are pretty much no tutorials, no recent articles and no performant native F# libraries out there. There is no push from MS to improve the situation. and the community is like - This is fine!

Expecting a new user to write c# code with "let" isn't going to fix that.

However people do see iOS as a gaming market, and soon you can run those apps on a Mac (clearly limitations in interface might restrict it a little). Gaming has many segments.

Funny that this is really such an uncomfortable truth for some people here... I'm a black guy with a Ghanaian name, so I laughed out loud reading the comment.

It's not like black people aren't allowed to have "euro-centric" names, but, surprise surprise, Caucasians represent a large majority of people with those names

Likewise there are names that almost no Caucasians have (like mine)

If someone is reading your resume intent on being biased, a name like "Austin Walters" is going to appear as... a white guy.

There black guys named Austin Walters but they're also not conducting a census... if someone really wants to discriminate against you based on race, your name is plenty to go on.

https://www.mynamestats.com/First-Names/A/AU/AUSTIN/chart-di...

https://www.mynamestats.com/Last-Names/W/WA/WALTERS/chart-di...

Again, they're not conducting a science study, an 80% chance is plenty for the kind of person trying to discriminate...

Likewise, someone who reads my name, which uses consonants in a way that English doesn't usually ( causing people to mispronounce my very simple last name even when reading it verbatim) will instantly assume I'm black.

It's something I accept as a person with a very black name, it tells you the main audience of HN is this is really such a revelation for some of you lol

Which community have you been a part of, online or otherwise, where "flagrant violation of the norms" doesn't carry the potential for expulsion?

Without a written code of conduct, there are still values, views, and norms, usually created and run by the most disruptive members who are free to behave in any way they see fit and ostracize those who that behavior hurts.
They don't care about you because you're not a politically influential demographic.
Notice how the demographic that dominates this debate is the second most privileged and influential demographic in the country: white women; yet they are portrayed as being some powerless minority.

It's always powerful demographics fighting each other. Nobody cares about the actual minorities that have no representation. That is almost tautological.

We talk a big game about merit, capability, qualifications and such.

Ultimately though, nearly all actual selection processes are are subjective or ilegible... depending on how you see these things. How an interviewer feels about you intuitively matters a lot, maybe the most. Actual tests of skill are usually intuitive as well. An interviewer tries to gauge your skills, but it's rarely designed to be an objective test of skill. If it is an objective test of skill, it's rarely the primary decision driver.

Blind auditions enforce a certain kind of objectivity. But, I think we can read into the fact that musicians "audition" while employees "interview." You perform an audition.

Blind auditions would be a radical change to hiring/selection. The big advantages/disadvantages of the approach are like those of standardised testing. They measure the easily measurable, and bury everything else.
If you still own any Intel stock it is probably good time to dump it. Not only can't they compete with AMD, Apple now started running circles around them all.

I wonder what the world is going to be like when companies own entire stack including all hardware (even things like cameras and displays) and applications (including app stores).

There is going to be no competition as any new player would have to first join an existing stack that keeps tight grip and ensures competition is killed off before gaining momentum.

So, basically, dystopian future with whole world divided into company territories.
