>spend more time on themselves- grooming, having a hobby outside of work/tv/games, fitness, reading a book once in a while

All of this is nice activity, but not if you're faking yourself or faking it to yourself. I've read a whole home library (est. eight shelves each 1m wide), but not interested in reading anymore. Does that count? And no way I'm going have a hobby out of my interests purely for dating purposes. PC games are not about playing mario, it's the world of problems, solutions and efforts¹. If you cannot see that, or never seen that, you're likely "stereotyped basic" to me rather than "more evolved". This advice advises me to being "not me" in a most disturbing way possible. And for what? To see a shallow glimpse of interest and then proceeding to that plain chit chat until it comes to lust, if it ever does. The pretence is big but in the end it is either ONS or a family/dating life without all these cool entry attributes.

The problem with non-supermodels is that they have all the exact downsides and quirks. It's not easier after the date and they do not market-value themselves less, like you expect.

¹ I have a buddy who is a racer, country-level. We sometimes talk about his problems (beyond astro money spent on a single race) and it seems that my trackmania canyon (e-sports) progress has many similar issues like apex, drag, curve trade-offs, entry points and so on. Yes, I'm not experiencing hard pulls on a wheel and 80kg force to brake in timely manner, and I don't account for a tire wearout, but if you try to make it close even to my 2 years old PBs, you'll have a hard time for sure. And when you compare us, he is a sports man and I'm a jerk who plays mario cart. Sigh.

Upd.note: I used "you" at some places, where it should read "they". It is not intended to be personal in any way.
PSA: however impressive the M1 hardware is, you're still going to be stuck using OSX, playing in Apple's walled garden and being subjected to their awful policies.

I'll gladly join the groupie crowd once Linux runs stable on it.
I think it's pretty clear they're aiming at inference only. Training models on laptops is never going to be competitive. Might be fun for prototyping small models in PyTorch/TensorFlow though.
Why does React Native seem to be the people’s favorite?
I actually am looking into some really interesting data about match rate between different personality types and it seems like people with compatible with personalities match at a higher rate. Not sure about long term success but it's pretty crazy that I'm seeing that in match rate.
Supporting more options generally need more engineering and test work, hence it drives prices up.

These settings and multi-os compatibility is generally reserved for enterprise level devices (EliteBook, XPS/Precision, Thinkapd) where these options both will be used and result in more sales.

From end-user perspective it's not nice but, it makes sense from a business perspective since most of the people doesn't care about their disposable laptops' Linux compatibility. "If it works, it works. If it doesn't, I'll buy a new one" they think.
It depends what your values are. To my values most or all of Europe has better internet. A few things I care about:

- No bandwidth caps.

- ISPs competing to offer the best service in a system similar to how health care is done in Japan.

- Being able to switch ISPs without issue.

- Being able to run my own hardware instead of being required to use their routers.

- Net neutrality. I pay for gigabit duplex but if I'm not uploading to a fast lane I'm limited to 10mbps, or 1% of what I pay for. This is terrible for VPNing for work, and other work related tasks.
While a lot of people have moved out of metro areas, I don't think many have done so permanently. Why spend 1000s on a small apartment in the city all alone when you could ride out the pandemic at your parents' in a large suburban home?

Maybe some people with families already may choose to stay in their new suburb. But young people will come back. Why? Because a large city is one of the best places to look for a partner. Or put more succinctly, people want to fuck. It might take a while for more young people to flood in, and in the meantime rent prices might dip, but I'm confident people will want to keep fucking in the future. So as long as that's there, I think cities will recover :)
Sadly it can't run docker, and as a primarily backend dev, it's a huge problem for me as docker is a very important part of my workflow.
These ppl are so drunk on the kool aid they don’t even realize that 80% of their experience is common to every new laptop purchase. In 1 year these “revolutionary” computers will be boring and slow again, especially when their batteries start to deteriorate.
My biggest frustration with reporting is when the reporter provides some number without context.

“$1 billion was cut from X program”

How big is that program?

But they so often leave off how large the total program is.

The worst is when the cut was actually done do a planned budget increase. So the headline should have read “$1 billion in budget increases were cancelled”
i blame the half-assed infrastructure. finally got a solid fiber line, so i'm good now - but prior it was nothing but hell. every tech out would just say, welp - i don't know why they sold you this, we don't support it...even tho they buried the dang lines. and fwiw i'm in the middle of a decently sized metropolitan area...not out in the sticks
So what does a perfect progress bar would look?

I think the current progress bar represent the task progress not the estimated time left and the author is looking for something that shows actual time left.
64 bits definitely buys <1cm^2 accuracy using S2 Cells/S2id. I'm always wondering why S2 doesn't see wider use for encoding location/area data.

Consider you have some extra money, what do you do with it? Do you put it (or keep it) in a bank-account? That is an investment choice you have. If you have more money than you need for living then you are already investing it in some way, maybe a bank-account. And you make this investment decision following some algorithm in your head. So if you algorithm was so great wouldn't it make sense to use it rather than put money into a low-interest bank-account?

My point is when it comes to investing, inaction IS action too. Therefore an investment algorithm does not need to beat the market. It just needs to beat doing nothing.

Consider that if you have earnings you can put money into an IRA account and then trade with it almost for free.
It's only got 8GB or 16GB of RAM AFAIK, because the RAM is part of the chip, and more memory would mean a really big die.
I'm thinking the problem is local fragmented markets. If people could date across longer distances, then I think the preference would be averaged out a lot better. For example, in the USA, Asian might not be viewed as highly but in Australia, they might be.
The P2 quantile estimator is pretty cheap to compute (in terms of CPU cycles). How does Greenwald-Khanna compare in terms of that?
Nope. Nothing too magical, I suspect. It says LPDDR4 right there in System Profiler, although it does not indicate the frequency.
I think this kind of thing is common. It's only experts in the field who really appreciate the value of this stuff, so it's only experts who steal. The field is small enough all experts know one another. To regular thieves, they're just dusty old books which wouldn't even sell for a dollar at a flea market.
In this case it's literally the LSP and maybe JetBrains have a different way of doing all of this more efficiently or it's just that many LSPs are not written in the most efficient language.

We're beginning to see more Javascript tooling that are written in other languages such as Go and Rust that just blow away existing tooling in terms of performance. Look up on esbuild/swc.

Last I heard JetBrains is also looking into adopting LSP so maybe we could even pay for JetBrains LSP to use with VSCode some day
Does this count as self promotion?
Taking that as true for a moment, I wonder what other programming languages get a benefit from Apple's silicon then? PHP et al. use reference counting too, do they get a free win, or is there something particular about Obj-C and Swift?
that's more on your leasing company sadly...they get bundle discounts for referrals, but you still get screwed
There needs to be a bipartisan political will for it which is hard to capture.

Australia tried to follow the same model only for a more conservative government to get in, claim that it was too expensive, butcher the plans (fibre to the node instead of to the premise) to "save costs" the country was left with a more expensive half-baked product that still incorporated a lot of copper.

What's worse is that because there was a "government fibre" model it meant that private industry that wanted to lay its own fibre started facing various endless legal issues[0], which, funny enough, is entirely supported by the originally less conservative political groups that pushed for the rollout in the first place. So now we're left with a bad network and legal structures in place to stop it from being privately superseded.

Elon also started many years ago. Paypal was a couple of decades ago.
Same here. I took my decision to leave macOS after their release of BigSur. It's absolutely, 101% unacceptable to me when someone else controls what program I can run on my hardware, and I should hope that their server will not go down.

I still congratulate the team of Apple Silicone. Hope it will force Intel to create something similar.

From the sounds of it, Apple hasn't put anything in the way of installing Linux or Windows on the M1 based Macs. They don't have the sort of built in support the Intel based Macs have, but they should be able to boot Linux or Windows on bare metal.

Recently there was a Apple support article posted here on HN detailing it.

Books exist. A well-written book usually condenses years and years of knowledge and experience into a few hundred pages.

Honestly the modern trend of having to make all educational content always engaging, with immediate rewards at all times seems wrong to me. Sometimes, its better to just chug through a book and boring formalization for 50 hours until you get to a point of clarity, because getting to the same knowledge via dozens of half-complete blogs and online sources takes MUCH more time in the long run. Books assume you will read the whole thing, so they build up the mental framework "breadth-first", so it seems less useful until you get to a sufficiently high depth. Once you get over the hump though, its great. With quick online learning, they give you a few good "depth-first" dives, but leave the foundational "knowledge/concept tree" underdeveloped.

Books aren't distracting, they aren't internet enabled and make it easy to just sit down and go through page by page. Online stuff is usually a great supplement if you miss some intuition but it hasn't quite replaced books. Everyone is looking for some way to make the fundamental act of paying attention and learning easier.. but paying attention IS difficult. That is why its valuable.

I don’t know if they are in Europe, but in some ecosystems wolves are a keystone species. That’s a species that if removed leads to cascading changes with large effects throughout the ecosystem.

Here is part of an article at Wikipedia on wolves in Yollowstone describing the changes there when wolves were reintroduced.

The range of effects is astonishing.

That would serve to reduce effective memory usage or need to fall back to swap. I would not expect something like that to be responsible for more than, say, a 5-10% RAM usage decrease though.

I think you can reach a lot more than that. Presumably, on Intel they use something like LZO or LZ4, since it compresses/decompresses without too much CPU overhead. But if you have dedicated hardware for something like e.g. Brotli or zstd, one could reach much higher compression ratios.

Of course, this is assuming that memory can be compressed well, but I think this is true in many cases. E.g. when selecting one of the program/library files in the squash benchmarks:

https://quixdb.github.io/squash-benchmark/

you can observe higher compression ratios for e.g. Brotli/gzip/deflate than LZO/LZ4.

Benchmark on battery? It's so ridiculous from Intel marketing team.
Apple doesn't make anything physical.

Like, nothing. They design the whole computer, from chip to OS, but they own no factories.

Which is pretty remarkable, when you think about it. If you went back to the DEC era and said that the most valuable vendor of computers in the world would do no manufacturing in 2020, not many people would buy it.

One of my favorite problems is solving median based on a stream of data that you can replay, but only using, something like 3 variables of the same type of the data (which I think needs to be integer) from the book Numerical Recipes in FORTRAN.

It’s to optimize finding the median from a tape drive in the 70s, but the technique is pretty cute.

You make a guess at the median, then basically sum how many are over, and under that value, then guess again until you have an even split.

It’s also a problem I like to use to nerd snipe people, because why not.

Check my work, because it’s been a long time since I worked with FORTRAN and I could have just remembered incorrectly :)

Raw metal powder for 3D printing laser sintering. Or plastic pellets.

Water. Fuel. Clothes.

Maybe this is what can kick start the 3D printing in space revolution.

Maybe it can also launch radioactive waste into space? One bucket at a time. Then a space towtruck can be launched to hurl it into the sun.

But it’ll likely just part a naive investor from their money.

It wasn’t over fake reports of nukes. The weapons reports were how it was justified for a while, it is quite doubtful that the war calculus relied on this for decision makers in any way more than as a coin to sell the war to the people.

Could you elaborate what you mean by this?

I'm currently out of the market, but your app looks more interesting than the typical one. Best of luck with it!
Pardon the late response.

As of right now I have no examples of my own to show you. Everything is theoretical. I'm not sure if this is something that has been thought of before and I haven't really looked around to see if there are explicit examples or thoughts similar to mine.

But what I've covered so far mainly focuses on the similarities between the non-linear experience of an exhibit (be it at a museum, library, gallery, etc.) and the non-linear experience of a Hypertext narrative on the Web. Of course, this is less feasible in print.

But for the most part, the appeal at least to me, is breaking up a single theme/Web article across multiple pages and allowing online visitors to have their own unique experiences determined by the order in which they click a link as decided by the different contexts that a link can be placed in.

The goal is to implement something contrary to the linear structure of the Web page, especially something unlike the impersonal experience that are online publications.
Ask HN: Review My Startup Idea
I'm working on this AI-powered jewelry brand in which the jewelries are designed by AI & manufactured by humans.

I'm kinda double minded when it comes to the execution of this idea.

The 1st way I'm thinking of is putting 5 different styles of jewelry in a box & selling it as a subscription box which will come every month with new & improved designs.

The 2nd way is to let user generate different jewelries by clicking on a button which will make our AI program run in the background producing results & showing it to the users on the screen which they can then order.

Would really appreciate it if you could give your feedback on the idea & suggest which way of execution would be better.

Thank you!
I think the technical excellence was mostly a side issue there. What really mattered was that they made a better product. I'm sure there were companies that were just as technically excellent but not as focused on value delivery.

That timeline is missing vue and vanilla.js. Also, while personally I'm not a fan, Angular seems to continue to do well in "enterprise" projects where the web app isn't the main deliverable, and having a separate Node.js stack is undesired next to the Java or .net main backend stack.

Lots of deplorable things make sense from a business perspective. That's a very low bar to clear. "Intel's actions aren't literally counterproductive to their short-term interests". Yes, and so? They're not literally motivated by spite for their users. Is that supposed to make it better?
OTOH benchmarking a Laptop CPU while running on battery is the regular use-case no?

The argument itself is reductionist in nature. No man, no problem. I'm not sure if you are arguing because of love for formal proofs or because you want the full treatise why it sucks, but if the latter, just say so.
Heads up: it looks like the company behind this (Chec) collects and stores a significant amount of data from the usage of the Commerce.js SDK featured here; including customer name, email address, phone number, IP address, device fingerprint and transactions. The privacy policy isn't particularly clear about how this is used, but it's very permissive and vague. It also states that this collection is "mandatory." In my experience this means it will be repackaged as "analytics" and sold for market research and advertising.

Be wary when using eCommerce SDKs, especially in the absence of exact, legalese-free clarification about what "data processing" means. Here is the privacy policy: https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/60591797/full-legal

Keep in mind that if Chec is acquired, the durably stored data will also be transferred per this policy. Beyond the usual callouts like fraud and geolocation, the policy also allows the company to use customer data to "improve its services", with no specificity on what exactly that would entail.

> Programs often reserve a lot more memory than they actually use (zero hit in performance) so memory stats are misleading, and the OS is really good at swapping memory not touched in a while to the SSD without you noticing.

The stats are absolutely reliable because no physical memory page is allocated until it is actually used to store something. So allocating a large chunk of unused memory wouldn't show in the (physical) memory usage stat.
In 1987 we had beautifully typeset papers. A craft which got apparently lost.
