I doubt it, from what I can tell they still think their main product (CRM) some special thing that is legitimately making the world a better place and try to get their employees to buy into that idea. I'm sure they have plenty of satisfied customers, but come on now. It's CRM.
Triplicate looks like Gallant, the font used by old Sun workstations. Looking like Gallant is a point in its favor (but ouch! That license fee is to its detriment.)
1k FFT size in single precision is 1024 x 2 x sizeof(float) = 8KB. If we don't think that it won't utilize full GPU (not even one compute unit) and assume that it scales similarly to big systems then:
1)165GB/s is an algorithmic bandwidth of benchmark, including consecutive FFT+iFFT. Both of them take one upload and one download from chip - total 4 memory transfers. The real bandwidth for this value will be 4*165=660GB/s.
2)one FFT is 2 transfers - upload and download. Total 16KB.
3)660GB/s / 16KB = 43M iterations per second. Similar to your number, but your number didn't account that benchmark has 4 uploads instead of 2.

These benchmarks don't include transfers to and from GPU, as those are done with PCI-E bandwidth (30GB/s) which is really slow compared to VRAM-chip bandwidth (>500GB/s). This is why it is important to have enough VRAM and avoid CPU communications as much as possible.
I'm in a rush, so hopefully someone can dig up some actual links to scientific papers, but current immunity from naturally infected people has stayed strong and shows no sign of weakening. The immune response from the vaccination has at least as strong, so in all likelihood we're looking at very long response.

It's not really a fuel filter. Or technically it is, but it's really a suppressor kit sold as a fuel filter. You may also hear them called or sold as "solvent traps". This is largely because a suppressor is largely a safety and convenience device, but acquiring one legally is a painful, multi-month process with a $200 tax. You can make one legally by filing a form 1, but it is generally understood that the wish.com "solvent traps" or "fuel filters" will not necessarily be used legally.

And I'm with you - I probably wouldn't want to put a wish.com-sourced fuel filter on a firearm any more than I'd want to put it on any machinery.

For that I actually have a nice observation:
I always clear my cookies and website data on browser quit, and never login into Youtube. Which means I get a pretty vanilla "recommendation" experience, additional tracking attempts from Google put aside.

Visiting youtube, I could swear that the recommendations Youtube is trying to shove my way only change after several weeks or sometimes even months, it is always the same 8 videos on top of the front page for very long periods.

It starts to get somewhat relevant after I watch something, but then it looks like their recommendation engine does nothing more than "Recommend to user x the n most popular videos of roughly the same category as the last video user x watched" with a little bit of shuffling 1-3 videos from a larger set between those, sometimes, and that appears to be it.
The article is fairly sparse in details and could be summarized by:

>so if more components of the plant, or even the entire plant, could be built offsite under controlled factory conditions, such extra costs could be substantially cut

From the paper (locked behind paywall) there is also a mention of rising labor costs.

I wonder if this has more to do with the size of reactors, which went up from 600-800MWhe up to the 1500MWhe range, i.e. if containment buildings (safety systems etc) at those power levels are just a massive dis-economy of scale.
They didn't lie. They always stop short of saying that masks don't work. They said that it is not a substitute for distancing (true), that health workers should be prioritized (true), that masks don't provide the expected level of protection when not properly fit (true), etc...

It is a bit misleading, sure, but no lies, they let secondary sources lie for them. So about misleading the public, I think we can say it is the case.

Now about "killing people". Did they kill or did they save people? Remember that people fought about toilet paper, even though there was no real shortage and it is just a comfort item (protip: you can wash your ass in the shower).

With masks, there was a real shortage, and it is an essential item for health care workers. We couldn't let nobodies stockpile hundreds of masks while people who are supposed to treat you get sick. That would really have killed people. And despite downplaying the importance of masks, is was still a mess.

I know a pharmacist who got tasked with supplying masks to health care workers who had masks "disappear" in transit, and health care didn't get their masks. Herself should have got N95 masks, but she didn't, instead only having surgical masks, and she had to keep them longer than recommended. She also had to deal with hysterical customers who "needed a mask" for no good reason. And it was as the importance of masks was downplayed. I don't want to imagine what would have happened if it wasn't.
lol, I have a stake in a small brick and mortar store and I recently had a plumber in looking up an electric water heater on wish.com and say "i could order you this and fit it when it arrives next month" - I honestly thought he was going to come back and tell me I had been on a candid camera show - don't know whether it's terrifying or hilarious. It cemented in my head the idea that anyone who orders something from wish.com is a halfwit
Not really, but as you can see from the PR[1] there is work being done.

I got a pi 400 to replace a 2009 mac mini that was serving as the kids' computer but was struggling to play the online games they wanted (including scratch) because of missing webgl support in recent chrome updates.

Performance is roughly on par with the core 2 duo in the mini, but the graphics is more powerful and fully supported by webgl, so in practice it struggles less with the scratch environment and online games than the mini did. I would however not consider it snappy, it is quite sluggish to use chromium on it. I got both netflix and disney plus to work with minimal effort but disney plus is very slow to load, it takes almost a minute to fully pop up. It does play fine when streaming video.

The kids so far are quite happy and have been using it a lot more than they used the mac mini. It does everything they want (online educational games, some digital homework, and scratch), and they're not bothered by the sluggish loading of some sites. I think they also like the way it looks, it is a very fun looking little computer.
FWIW, if you're playing from a computer, there are applications (Rogue Amoeba makes one) that can route the audio from Spotify (or anything) and send it over Airplay. Works great with a HomePod.

Is that true? RHEL/CentOS have both DMKS and kmod versions; in Ubuntu ZFS is a supported package. That's not most distros, certainly, but it is the ones most people use.

I spoke to Benoît Mandelbrot on the phone on at least one occasion. I was in high school and Mandelbrot and my father were collaborating on something. They both worked at IBM TJ Watson and were the product of the same "Grandes écoles" French educational system. He would call really late at night (midnight), and once I answered the phone simply to fetch my father. My understanding from, several sources -- I met one other person who worked for him at IBM, is that he was not the easiest person to work with. Anyway, I was an early fan of fractals thanks to this "inside connection", so to speak.

This is really, really cool. And I love the home page! Being able to see results before signing up is great.

I'm not a potential customer right now, but the text on the pricing page "If you find a payment bug (incorrect charges, broken UI, etc), let me know and I'll give you the full version of PMAlerts for free, for life." would absolutely give me pause.

A simple addition if you're actually dealing with payment issues would be to add "I'll make sure your billing is straightened out ASAP - and never charge you more if you've been undercharged."

But ultimately, get your payment system functioning ASAP. I would not be comfortable putting my card info into a system that tells me ahead of time it might have bugs.

Rust borrowck is conservative, so not quite. There's plenty of memory-safe programs that can't be written (or require runtime checking) in Safe Rust.
I browsed the datasheet [1] for the BCM2711 processor and did not see an eMMC controller on this part. Assuming the SD card is connected by SPI which would explain why it's so slow. Also rules out eMMC.

But if subsequent plants are built with same drawings, you don't have a design engineering firm having to create that work from scratch. Should that alone not save money?
I'm not excluding it, I just don't buy the argument.
Your claim was disproved back then and it's still false now. You were comparing the shipping rates for someone who does all the sorting and long haul delivery vs China, who just dumps all the mail at the Port of Los Angeles, sorted into buckets by zip code.
Yeah - also should be easier on the eyes when you read a bunch of text - less horizontal movement.
I used to disagree with this view, since I was "raised" in school to think that raw performance is the only worthy attribute of a computer program, regardless of purpose. Then, when I started working on real products instead of homework I learned how wrong that way of thinking was.

Of course it does not apply to everything, some apps do need every last clock cycle of speed, but so far none of mine had.
I think a pure ECS has its state manipulation well-encapsulated and organizable. Part of me thinks that sort of design would mesh pretty well with Rust’s ownership system.
Fund VII and Growth Fund II
This one is a bit different though, it's the first of a kind of a new design (so count a lot of R&D there) and the original schedule was very unrealistic, not sure why anybody agreed on a timescale so short for a new design in the first place.
Before the HN crowd, which sometimes seems to forever live in the future of 1960s sci-fi, gets their hopes uppish:

- "building subsequent plants based on an existing design actually costs more, not less, than building the initial plant"

This invalidates a major argument often made for large-scale roll-out of nuclear power.

- "safety regulations could account for some of the excess costs, that was only one of numerous factors contributing to the overages."

Safety regulations are often cited as onerous, politically-motivated reasons for lack of economic viability. This finding makes it unnecessary to even argue the point.

- "we need to be rethinking our approach to engineering design [...] new methods and theories of technological innovation and change"

...is their suggestion. If that sounds vague and unrealistic, that's because it is. But, specifically, we get:

" if more components of the plant, or even the entire plant, could be built offsite [...]"

I have no idea if this is possible. But I'm reasonably certain that the idea isn't entirely new. Since it wasn't done, it's likely to not actually be worth it. Indeed, the next suggestion is to:

"substitut[e] some new kinds of concrete in the massive structures"

Gee, thanks! Now we know a yet-to-be-invented miracle material might be useful. And if the sheer amount of concrete is a major factor in construction costs, we now also have a better idea wrt feasibility of off-site construction and subsequent transport.

Meanwhile, in the alternative SF universe that is reality, photovoltaics and batteries have come done in costs per unit of energy (-storage) by an order of magnitude every three or four years.
The first time I heard of Wish was when they bought the Lakers jersey ad.

> Wish will pay the organization between $12 million and $14 million a year for the length of the three-year contract, according to a source who wasn't authorized to share the numbers publicly.

I just now surfed to the website to see what they even sell and it won’t let me see a single bit of the website without signing up. Genius plan.
> I also miss the way that JavaScript encouraged people to define very simple function signatures (e.g. strings, numbers, plain objects/clones as arguments and return values).

I wish this were true, and maybe it was in some cases, but not broadly. Many "types" used in JavaScript libraries are horribly complex. For example, the type signature of jQuery's `$` function, or moment.js's main function, or `server.listen` in Node.js, etc.

In fact I think the opposite argument from yours could be made with a straight face: not having to declare types encourages more complexity. I don't really agree with that either, though; in my experience this is more a matter of developer discipline and API design skills.

One thing I'm certain of is that if libraries are going to have complex types, I'd much rather have them be explicit and machine-verifiable vs hidden/implicit/hope-the-developer-wrote-a-good-docstring.
Looks nice!

I’m not a Rust user. I have no particular nag in this race. What I do understand, or at least am start to learn, is the difference between a Technology and a Product, and between a Product and Success.

As someone who has already tried to bring truly groundbreaking new tech to market and flubbed it, and is just about to roll up sleeves and try, try again, I’m not asking these questions just to be obtuse but to be helpful. However, if you’d rather just insult than ever amount to squat then by all means carry on.)
That's the reason for small modular reactors, built in factories.
Yeah. The backing reason is that ZFS has an axiom that data, once written to disk, never changes. That includes moving data to a different location. Changing that either means a massive relocation table, or some other yet-to-be-coded tool.
Mainly because the dataset is the ZFS version of a partition. In one pool, each dataset can have its own record size, compression settings (on/off or different levels, even different algorithms), be encrypted, have deduplication turned on... Its impossible for it to not be an "expensive operation".
"development in language"? That's a very kind phrasing for a trend for activist-journalists to further proclaim their woke-ness in their writing.
I take issue with this assumption "Think about it. Out of million people only small percentage would become infected with covid and of that, only small percentage would die." The virus is very contagions eventually most people will get infected, not a small percentage. The death rate is nominally low, but a 1% chance of dying is still a lot to me. Also the chances of getting long term side effects or just having a very bad illness are much higher.

This was a very interesting article! (I'm just to going to keep it plain and simple) I would encourage everybody to at least quickly glance at his article, that wants to read more books.

Yes, really good books are hard to find.
Honestly, for data intended to be viewed by the lay public, the best option is probably to show by day reported. It's a little laggy, and will blurs things a bit, but realistically you're probably most interested in the moving average anyway, so more lag and blurring isn't that much of a problem.

Showing a graph always going down is just poor public communication; people will inevitably misconstrue it.

Maybe, maybe not. Rewriting your existing site is much riskier for an organization than adding a new site which gets its traffic from a new source, while your existing site continues to chug along as normal (albeit with gradually declining search traffic from Google as the AMP box takes more and more of the share).
Interesting to realize how much is possible if there is political will to do it.
Some of us never stopped =)
I guess I have to read the full paper, because reading the link does nothing to clear up what is going on.

From reading the link I get, change orders cost money (duh!) and that there are a lot of change orders, particularly to older designs due to "changing regulation". Cause presumably before starting construction the older design has been mitigated to deal with newer regulations.

Which from my own biases, seems to mean that courts/etc are stepping in and modifying the regulations during construction and that costs a sh*tload. Otherwise the builders are negligent, or simply that it took 30 years to get approval for the plans, but now its a catch 22 because they are outdated.
I very much appreciate the candid feedback, cmg. I'll update the copy now.

Ask HN: Would you refund this customer?
I run a small SaaS business. A customer bought my software more than an year ago and used it.

The software has a 30 day free trial (no cc) and also a 30 day money back guarantee after purchase.

He used the trial version then upgraded the software. Sent me one email about something not working which I replied to. Never asked for refund.

Then almost after 1 year he files a dispute in Paypal (which Paypal decided in my favor btw) but now he is harrasing me almost every other day about leaving negative reviews if I don't refund him.

He has already left a few negative reviews about my software but I'm okay with since it's just angry abusive non-sense that has nothing to do with my software.

But he keeps on threatning me with emails. Now he is threatning filing police complaint against me and my company.

Part of me wants to refund him and get it over with (just 200 bucks) - though I can't be sure if this would stop his non-sense.

But another part of me is angry and feels that this is not right and I should just fight it out.

Please give me some advice if you have experience with this.
