If I buy farmland and build a house in Ireland, I know I'll be forced to demolish it after my neighbours complain (and a long review process). In many places there would be no such enforcement.
covid risk varies wildly depending on socioeconomic factors. Educated, WFH, small family, stable or low IRL social interaction: pretty low risk. Low-education, multiple in-person jobs, lots of casual social interaction, large family: very high risk. We've seen it very starkly in England. When entire communities are being ravaged by exponentially-growing transmission, it's hard to argue that a vaccine might be worse, because the chances are really minimal.
As someone who migrated to Germany from Turkey, people like me (and everything we are involved in) are "German" when we do something they're[0] not proud of, we are "Turkish" if we ever come close to success, and "of Turkish descent" in the normal times. Of course it depends who you are asking :) It's a bit annoying to be honest but not a huge deal.

I suppose all immigrants have similar problems.

Right now the operational effort is pretty minimal to be honest. I spend most of my time developing new features and talking my customers.

I know it seems like a lot of tools, but most of them are set up once and forget. Except for the occasional round of dependency updates. But even for that I have automated dependency/container scanning to detect vulnerabilities, and get notified if updating an image is recommended.

Most of the stack consists of "platform" tools, such as the ingress-nginx, external-dns, or cert-manager. So it's stuff I take with me for every project. It's like a personal Heroku I've been building, but way cheaper and fully customizable.

I've been iterating on this stack over the years with various other projects, and also learned a lot from running Kubernetes in production at my full-time job, so it's not something I'd advise for someone who just wants to deploy their MVP for the first time.

That doesn't really make sense. The two things are quite different. How vaccines work and how COVID works are apples and oranges. Do vaccines have potential side effects? Yes. And of course we don't know them. But let's be honest...most of us regular people aren't getting any of these for quite some time. They are going to go to people on the front line and most at risk first.

If you're a front line worker, like a doctor or nurse in a hospital, your chances of getting real COVID with real damage are very high. The long term effects of that are known to be bad. So any long terms effects of the vaccine are more than likely to be way way less dangerous. Also vaccine is, so far, not lethal which makes it a way better option.

Eventually we, the general population, will learn more about these potential side effects of the vaccines and start to gain access to said vaccines. Until then let's not go all anti-vaxxer and pretend we think vaccines give you autism.

OT: I fell into the rabbit hole of designing hardware (something like this). Just don't do it, it's super fun but it doesn't pay off: every SoC is different and you start with every SoC from scratch and waste tons of time. Prototyping is slow, you need min 2 weeks for every iteration (for smaller endeavors) and the worst, 98% of hardware-based business models are weak and don't provide any lock-in.
Has anybody seen effectiveness numbers? Like if I get this vaccine, is it one and done? Or will it be like a yearly thing.

My wife was an apple fan until she bought an iPhone and got locked out when she forget the password. Apple support refused to cooperate despite repeated cries of help.

M1 feels like a stepping stone in the same direction on laptops.

Personally it feels wrong to pay for a device someone can lock you out of and then refuse to unlock. It's like paying ransom without getting kidnapped.
Even if you could guarantee that there are no unintended consequences to this drug that was developed over a weekend, which you can't, you must still put a great deal of faith in the motives, incentives, and competence of an entire supply chain.

This is not without risk.

There are a lot of unknowns with this brand new vaccine, yet many of us have personal examples of people in our lives shrugging off a bout of Covid with ease. It's not a completely irrational choice to wait for a few years before taking this vaccine.
Ha, apologies, fzy was a typo for `fd`. Too many installs on the brain.

Installs of rust itself aren't succeeding yet for me via Homebrew, with what look like likely simple errors but not ones I investigated yet (though yeah I saw the Rust tracking ticket you linked).

But e.g. retrying `brew install rust` this morning produces 404 errors trying to download https://static.rust-lang.org/dist/2020-08-27/rust-std-1.46.0...

It looks like https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/65286 may fix things. Haven't spent a ton of time investigating though. Obviously if you have recommendations would love them.

Will have a look at your README, thanks for writing it.
So, the current ‘joke’ is, buy a brand new vehicle, wait a month for its value to appreciate, then sell it back to the dealership.

My guess on the reason for the pricing increases is several factors:

At the beginning of the ‘shutdown’, it affected auto auctions, where dealers obtain a decent amount of their pre-owned inventory, besides trade-ins.

Actual manufacturing shutdowns decreased new car outputs

The rescue package allowed for a substantial jolt for vehicle financing, and it is not uncommon now for people to finance a car for a 6 year term. There are also 7 year terms, now.

So, awash in finance money and limited supply.
Actually, they might not be able to.

Everything comes with a cost when you're working in silicon. You can add more cores, yes, but to do so, you either must make each core smaller, or increase the maximum distance between two cores.

This is important, because the longer the distance, the harder it is to maintain e.g. cache coherency between all cores. There's a physical limit to the speed electrons travel, and you have to account for that.

Intel's designs rely on pretty teeny cores with small L1{I,D} caches and small private L2 caches on a ring bus topology, with the iGPU on one polar end, and the system agent/memory controllers on the other ends. [0] [1]

Zen takes a slightly different approach, using individual ICs with four cores on a single IC complex, sharing a single, relatively slow L3 cache, with small private L2 caches per core. The "chip complexes" are contained on a carrier chip which takes care of PCIe and the memory controller, similar to Intel's system agent, but farther from every core. [2] [3]

Apple has instead opted for all the cores to, instead, share a single large L2 cache, with enormous L1 caches. Both the GPU and CPU appear to have point-to-point connections to the memory controller and to the other peripherals.

Because they use 1) large caches and 2) squash everything together, they've managed to achieve ridiculously high memory bandwidth with teeny L1 latency.

For example, while Intel's latest uarch requires 5 CPU cycles to read L1D cache, M1 can do so in 3 cycles. Zen requires either 4 or 5 cycles.

There's no free lunch here, and I doubt they could maintain this same architecture while adding many more cores. They're missing the interconnects and necessary silicon to do so, and adding it would add latency and/or shrink existing caches. The design seems to be predicated on being small with minimal distance between components.

Caveat emptor, I'm not an engineer, this is all idle speculation.

Ask HN: Job Advice
So I am going through a scenario. I was working in a startup for the last few years and my salary, due to personal relationships and negotiations have been much much lower than industry standard. I was given 1.5% equity when starting and also flexible working hours and the freedom to take days off whenever needed.

Few weeks ago, I applied to a new company just to see what it's like and I cleared it and was offered around 4 times the current salary. When I notified it to the current employer, they offered me 8% of shares to stay.

I am now confused on what to do, because on one-side there's a sure financial benefit, but maybe stricter timelines and procedures and on the other, there's a possibility of high magnitude of benefits if the current company grows. I'd like to hear your thoughts
But _why_ are those the houses getting built?

Why can't we demolish every residential structure under 5 stories tall in central London and build flats? Why can't you build in the green belt?

There are some good reasons - the negative externalities of one-off housing in the middle of nowhere are huge (I say, writing from a one-off house in the middle of Ireland), but there are some bad reasons too, like homeowners using "social and affordable" to concern-troll their way in to ensuring nothing actually gets built.

And yeah, dev salaries in the UK are shockingly low compared to the US (and Ireland for that matter, so far as I can tell) but when the supply of housing is constrained higher incomes don't help for long. Making $250k might enable you to buy a $2 million 4 bed 2 bath near decent schools in San Jose, but give it a while and you'll need $350k, then $450k, etc. (or remote work will break the back of the NIMBYs with any luck).

From what I understand the actual 'viral' phase of the disease isn't usually that long so potentially they were only contagious up to day 9. After that their immune system has usually wiped out the active virus.

Everyone is different but by the time people are in the hospital on respirators they're usually suffering from the follow on effects of either direct viral damage or their own immune system going nuts.

Great point! We ultimately felt (and this is above my paygrade) that it was outside the scope of what we were asked to explore/recommend. So we avoided suggesting taxes that drastically change corporate incentives and behavior around private data. Instead we focused on more equitably distributing the value that's currently generated from data.

We did discuss this and felt that a very deep dive would be needed. (A) It's not an objective no-brainer exactly what behavior you want to disincentivize. (B) The economic impacts/consequences could be huge, so the tradeoff needs to be carefully considered.

One example is Google Maps. Right now it has privacy drawbacks, but it also generates a lot of utility for a lot of people and is relatively freely accessible for individuals. You'd want to be careful about screwing that up. For example, incentivizing Google to switch to a paid access model.

I guess part of what this EFF article is saying is: these decisions are better treated as part of privacy law / human rights, rather than economics...I'd be interested to hear your thoughts!

This has been my experience too - not in ML (i have zero experience there) but in software architecture more generally. The idea of locality of change, of encapsulation, of interfaces as a way to reduce the amount of stuff you need to know in order to change the system. It is a pretty effective strategy for keeping the "cost to change" a software product low.

There have been downfalls for me though - interestingly never the obvious problem. To me the obvious problem is performance, there's usually an overhead in a plugin system of some sort but it hasn't been an issue for me yet, maybe i'm just lucky.

An annoying real issue has been adding in dependencies between plugins, that has always introduced horrible issues later on. I think based on my current life experiences i'd even choose to duplicate functionality over introducing dependencies now - despite the fact that idea is basically anethema to conventional wisdom.
By "poorest" I meant countries like CAR or DRC, maybe that wasn't clear.

Also, that's exactly why I added the clause "or may not be there" :) That's part of the skill when reading headlines - training to see it as a dirty filter and seeing if there are any glints in the dirt that are interesting enough to follow up on.

point taken, however
AWS North Virginia offers t4g.micro instances (AArch64 VMs with 1GB of RAM) for $0.0084 per hour, which works out as just under $74/year. [0] (Not counting data-store cost.) It's backed by highly reliable server-grade hardware, and is connected to the high-speed AWS network. Doesn't that count as cheap?

I agree that 'lower tier' providers may be even cheaper, but they still count as cloud computing, so I think my point stands. As a slight off-topic, I've found that the cheaper providers generally offer an inferior product. You can expect to encounter poorly considered features, broken features, or expected features missing entirely.

> There is no possible way to maintain a healthy posture without an external display.

I know a physical therapist who would strongly disagree with
this; in fact he explicitly recommends to use a laptop for
ergonomic reasons unless you can achieve a proper, ergonomic
setup with an external screen. The reason being that if used
properly(laptop far back so you can rest the whole forearms and
elbows on the table) the angles and positioning are supposed to
be pretty good.

I'm not an expert in this area myself, but some of my problems
were alleviated by following his advice and he only uses a
laptop himself, so I believe him on that one.

That said you're right in that this flat design without a
foldable screen is not exactly made for long work hours. I'd
say for a session on the go with the device sitting on the lap
it could be worse, though at least a detachable/external
keyboard would help a lot.
Rosetta does work with JIT'ed code. I think the way it works is that any code in memory gets the Rosetta magic applied as soon as it is marked executable.
> Installs of rust itself aren't succeeding yet for me via Homebrew

Ah, yes. Homebrew builds Rust itself and building Rust uses a previous beta release to build the current development code.

Until my recent [pr] bumping the beta bootstrap version, building Rust on aarch64-apple-darwin required specifying a nightly version of Rust because we only had nightly artifacts. I've mentioned that to a homebrew developer, so it should flow through soon. I'd expect that you'd only be able to install the nightly release at first.

Apple is doing the same thing. This only helps Apple, it's a proprietary design that's not even standard ARM, they have extensions. And it won't ever be available outside of Apple products.
Rosetta compiles JITted code ahead of time, once the OS detects the code exists.

From what I understand, the OS enforces W^X (memory pages that are writable cannot be executable). That means the OS can use the “set page read-only and executable” system calls to detect the existence of JITted code.

We built custom machine learning products for large enterprise for the last several years...So, communicating to people across with different skillsets and degrees and types of "technicality" was required to make things work.

I've written several replies here that address many things I consider important that might be useful to you[0][1][2]. These tackle communication, making sure people have access to information, tying business objectives to your activities and speaking a language that fits your audience (developers on the team, people on your team who may not be technical, people who are technical but may not be machine learning experts, CEO, advisors, investors, clients, domain experts at the client company, etc.)

These are all your "customers" to your communication product. You'll notice I went on and on about sharing meeting notes, or dispatching information to people so the message penetrates several levels and people know what they/you're doing and why.

>I am now transitioning to freelancing.

You might find a thread I tweeted[3] about this useful, too. It advises you about the benefits of dealing with enterprise as a company to make it worth your while, lawyers, building product[4], abstracting that product to expand and sell more. There's a lot of trial in there. The context is products for enterprise in the mid six figures that a couple of people could pull off by making sure they get the communication part with the client right, and other things.
