I can't find a number for it on M1 but I'm guessing a memory to SIMD register move is still a lot faster than faster CPU-GPU shared buffers, i.e. Even if it is a powerful tool it won't scale in the same way.
Haha sure. The first shot is the only shot done with the rpi camera.
In the old days of 68K Mac, it could be even worse. The spinning hourglass was often animated during a timer interrupt, while the main application might have died altogether.

You're making the GPs point quite nicely, in that it absolutely doesn't sound like it's worth dealing with you, and it's making me want to throw my hands in the air and say "fuck it, if I try to offset my emissions I'll just get whiners like TedDoesntTalk all up in my face, so i might as well not offset anything".

You're making things worse.

Not sure if it would be suitable for a 10yo, but check out MHRD (on steam or itch.io), you start out with NAND gates and gradually build more complex constructs that you reuse in the following levels, where the final level is a (very simple) CPU. Sort of like the first few parts of Nand2Tetris.

It uses a very simple HDL, has a reasonable IDE built in, and each puzzle is pass/fail based on a test suite so it's easy to get into - however, you only have a certain number of lines on screen in which to write the HDL (and comments), so brute force is not an option for most of the puzzles, you do have to optimise your design to fit the constraints.
What claim do you take issue with?

Staking was introduced to reward actual market performance instead of performance on holdout data, and to prevent spam.

Cryptocurrency is the method of payment because it’s a global competition, and that’s the only way to pay everyone across countries. Originally rewards were in Bitcoin but switched to an ethereum token to facilitate staking.

Not denying its an open question, the counterfactual doesn't terminate in email would not have happened. Spam was a late arrival, I was online with email in academic networks from 1979 and it was a non problem. SMTP and 822 as spec, mostly unchanged, have worked at scale. Making people pay is the only additional friction, and I would dispute it would have killed either internet or email.
You are incorrect. Coinbase regularly gets audited practically every other week by some random regulating body in the country. I’d say ask someone who works there, but you probably won’t as calling any Crypto exchange as ‘Bitcoin’ exchange is something that died off around 2015.
In one of those random “benchmark tests” online where someone opened several applications on an M1 Mac with 8GB RAM and did some work on those, they kept Activity Monitor open alongside and pointed to the increase in swap at some stage. So it seems like the swap is fast enough and is used more aggressively. That reduces the amount of RAM used at any point in time. The data in RAM has also benefited from compression in macOS for several years now.

Confluent seems to be thriving ever since AWS launched their own Kafka managed service. With that as an example, this could be a good thing for Astronomer.io.
How would you know whether someone is making a good faith argument? Without some outward signifier like a cartoon character for an online avatar, which even then wouldn't provide any measure of certainty, it would require mind reading.

> People who speak genuinely but are passionate, emotional, or aren't the best at expressing themselves can have productive conversations. Someone who's arguing to win isn't worth your time.

If you want to get along in some kind of shallow fashion then the former are better, if you want to find truth or open your mind to possibilities then the latter will outstrip the former by a long way. Both are needed in life but to dismiss either as stupid or bad intentioned seems a stretch.
According to Speedtest the average US speed is 165 down 62 up, or to put it another way it's enough for the average household to stream SIX simultaneous 4K-quality streams while also uploading photos and video chatting with friends.

How is that "pretty awful"?
>That's objectively telemetry no matter what you call it, irrespective of the intent of the designers.

There's no objective definition of "telemetry" that I know of, though, and this is a purely functional feature implemented straightforwardly. They are moving towards encrypting the requests, too.

Whether or not you can toggle something is absolutely relevant from a privacy perspective. Gatekeeper is something that should be on by default anyways, and I personally am more concerned about my endpoint security than Apple getting pinged with a signature when I open an app.
Actually, one of the leading causes of death, apart from early child mortality was bacterial infection caused by bad dental hygiene. Not to mention a host of other diseases that waited for them such as cholera, Typhoid, TB, etc. People didn't magically live off till their 60s and 70s and 80s after becoming 20 years old. Your statement of average lifespan "improving" for individuals is simply nonsense.
Polyamory is fairly rare in human societies, the link you pasted talks about polygamy. Polygyny has been practiced in a few societies and the numbers would be too few to conclude anything.
I came here to say exactly the same thing. Perfect for my favorite project to save the Earth - launching refined moon dust at Lagrange points.
Having read "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" a looong time ago, I have sometimes wondered why no one has ever tried to use rail guns as launch mechanisms. I vaguely remember from not so long ago that one of the criticisms was that the acceleration forces would crush any fragile parts like electronics, but is it still true that electronics can't be hardened to survive the acceleration forces? Are there other problems that make the idea of rail gun launchers simply impossible?
Yep. Most intrinsic theories of "why not have a weight filter" fail because they can't explain the many online dating sites (primarily LGBT) that do offer a weight filter, because it's very obviously a major factor in attraction that's easily quantifiable. The theory that the available filters are driven by which market participants have market power, on the other hand, does.

Coming from an industry where Wordpress has been beaten, bent, and crammed into use as a multi site publishing domain where much is promised, sometimes half-delivered, and full of security holes, leaky logic (try cross-plug-in dependency hellscapes), and so on....

I’m not a fan. But I’m not a fan for the use case of major publishing platform.

For small businesses, small e-commerce, small blogs or publications it’s great. But for the love of god, I wish people would stop extrapolating that fact to mean it’s good for everything. But now there’s a cottage industry built around selling that very idea to ignorant people for a high fee. Total racket.
I day traded options for a little while but now trade longer term options. I don’t run any complex strategies, partly so I can spend my time on identifying winners instead. Just buying calls or puts, sometimes spreads. I don’t have a way to automate that, it’s just reading a lot and trying to formulate and rank possibilities

It’s my first year and I’m only at a 10% return in my fun money portfolio (vs 50% on just buy and hold QQQ) despite a few multi baggers because of not cutting losses earlier. Hoping to do better this year and add some basic stop losses at least.

I may add more automation and start building my own tools now ,this past year I focused on trading manually so I know what would be useful to build in the first place. I’m building a basic Jupyter notebook to analyze previous trades and explore the API.

I can't absolutely say that this won't happen, but given Rust's focus on writing "correct" code, e.g. the borrow checker, etc, it's really unlikely given that one of the largest areas where Python and R shine is in exploratory data analysis. I can't imagine trying to play around with unstructured exploration of a data set in Rust's (totally reasonable) syntactic verbosity, correctness straitjackets, and compilation time.
more than that. a sync should be interruptible and resumable.

rsync does that.

so does syncthing which i use to keep my phones data synced to my computer. it runs all the time and syncs when i am on wifi (even when i am not anywhere near the computer)
it pauses when i get off wifi or the two machines can't connect for other reasons, and resumes when the connection is back.
It'd be really helpful if there were an article that folks could read.

Consuming video instead of text assumes that (1) I can hear and (2) I have the time to sit and listen at your speaking pace and (3) I'm in a place where I can sit with the audio turned up (4) I really want to expend the extra bandwidth for your video.

This trend towards posting video content instead of, rather than along-side, written content is pretty anti-accessbility.
No, but keep edgelording.
You're saying it'd require a salary of $500k or more to find someone competent enough to manage an investment opportunity worth $100k annually? That implies the investment opportunities are actually quite complicated. Obviously, opportunities exist for investment gains at all magnitudes. The question was whether they're easy enough for the average Jolanda. If Jolanda would require $500k annual salary to do the work, then, that easy opportunity doesn't really exist at all.

Alternately, if Jolanda doesn't need to make this opportunity her full-time job, then the investment company can pay her $500k to manage many of these small opportunities. After all, there must be many opportunities. Otherwise only 1 of the HN readers would be able to exploit it. In which case, again, it doesn't really exist at all.

>PoW has nothing to do with scaling and so PoS isn't a way to address it.

You're wrong, PoW is a poisson process which means time to generate blocks must be a very small fraction of average block time. Block times in PoS have a normal distribution with tight std, which means block generation can take even 1/3 of block time, giving some leeway for propagation.
There is so much Boeing did wrong at so many places, and I'm glad journalistic outlets are taking them to task. No doubt there are legal ramifications coming down the pipe as well.

One thing I don't see talked about much is that the expense of retraining was going to be incurred if the manual was expanded, so this incentivized them to minimize any documentation of the new system. This is a clear failure of regulatory incentives, and I hope the FAA considers ways to improve the incentive structure so this doesn't happen again.

It'll be a relief to be able to be around random people again when it's safe to do so, but the reduction in driving (both
for myself, and having less traffic) was nice. The "less traffic" part doesn't really seem to be holding up though.

It's a bit encouraging to see what seemingly-impossible things people can accomplish when working together. We've done a lot more than anyone was planning to do to address climate change this year without that even being a primary motivation. Maybe that will recalibrate some expectations about what is possible.
My 1995 opinion: News is saturated with bias and it enables systemic corruption because important questions go unasked.

My 2020 opinion: Bias in news is largely unimportant. News is saturated with incompetence however and that is harming everyone, in direct and meaningful ways. Worst of all, important questions go unasked.

It really depends. Like many "software" discussions on HN, it depends what type of software you work on. It depends on the companies you work for. It depends on your reputation and the types of jobs you take. You can have folks swearing that their 20 year consulting/contracting career was a breeze arguing with people who complain about bad customers and unpaid invoices.

I've had customers that want every minute accounted for. I've been pressed to cut my rate for time spent in meetings. I've also had years where the invoices were paid and no questions were asked. I often developed good, personal relationships with clients, even the ones asking me to cut my rate for meetings.

It depends what the company is looking for. It depends on if you oversold yourself, or failed to manage expectations. It's easy to promise too much to get the job. It helps to work with people who are current/former engineers because they understand realities better. That's not always the case, but generally.

That's a pretty silly title.

Ham enthusiasts WERE the original Hacker community. Go read any of the thousands of Ham magazines from the past and you'll find that the majority of the articles were about building your own gear, modifying ex military equipment, or learning about the fundamentals.

And who do you think developed all the SDR hardware and software which is available today? Outside of military R&D, most of today's SDR hardware and software was developed by engineers who were licensed hams.

And FWIW, it was only recently that the idiot mainstream media hijacked the term "Hacker" to refer to the antisocial uses of electronics.
> They disappear when the surplus disappears, which is not good for the common people either.

I contest that. The disappearance of this "surplus" (and if you follow history, you know where such surplus typically went – not the common people) was a blessing for all but the palatial elite.

It took over 10 generations for people to forget the horrors of the Bronze Age, with its "economy surplus", and agree to come together again to form centralized societies. That is no co-incidence. You underestimate human intelligence if you believe "the Sea Peoples came and made a boo boo and everyone had no choice but to go dark for 400 years".
The "pipeline bubbles" remark refers to the decoding unit of a processor needing to insert no-ops into the stream of a processing unit while it waits for some other value to become available (another processing unit is using it). For example, say you need to release some memory in a GC language, you would just drop the reference while the pipeline runs at full speed (leave it for the garbage collector to figure out). In an refcount situation, you need to decrease the refcount. Since more than one processing unit might be incrementing and decrementing this refcount at the same time, this can lead to a hot spot in memory where one processing unit has to bubble for a number of clock cycles until the other has finished updating it. If each refcount modify takes 8 clock cycles, then refcounting can never update the same value at more than once per 8 cycles. In extreme situations, the decoder might bubble all processing units except one while that refcount is updated.

For the last few decades the industry has generally believed that GC lets code run faster, although it has drawbacks in terms of being wasteful with memory and unsuitable for hard-realtime code. Refcounting has been thought inferior, although it hasn't stopped the Python folks and others from being successful with it. It sounds like Apple uses refcounting as well and has found a way to improve refcounting speed, which usually means some sort of specific silicon improvement.

I'd speculate that moving system memory on-chip wasn't just for fewer chips, but also for decreasing memory latency. Decreasing memory latency by having a cpu cache is good, but making all of ram have less latency is arguably better. They may have solved refcounting hot spots by lowering latency for all of ram.

From Apple's site:

"M1 also features our unified memory architecture, or UMA. M1 unifies its high-bandwidth, low-latency memory into a single pool within a custom package. As a result, all of the technologies in the SoC can access the same data without copying it between multiple pools of memory." That is paired with a diagram that shows the cache hanging off the fabric, not the CPU.

That says to me that, similar to how traditionally the cpu and graphics card could access main memory, now they have turned the cache from a cpu-only resource into a shared resource just like main memory. I wonder if the GPU can now update refcounts directly in the cache? Is that a thing that would be useful?
The Sims (1, at least) had a fixed set of startup messages, in the same order each time.
This is a very troubling trend of activism that hurts more than it helps. It looks like this new woke mentality will end up having a chilling effect on all forms of dissent: ironically, these people are replacing the tyranny they apparently seek to eliminate with their own variety!

Where does this end? The indoctrination is insidious; at school, right from very early grades, up to university, where professors who dare to question the liberal orthodoxy are shouted down or driven out altogether, to corporations, where people who want to just show up and do work in an apolitical environment are subjected to incessant haranguing and a vitiated atmosphere. Examples of all these cases abound. Has it now become passe to take it for granted that politics and religion are taboo at the workplace? Or that everything is fair game for discussion, analysis, and argument at the University? Or that young children should be allowed to have their innocence?

I have a messages for conservatives. For your own benefit - shut up about bias. Seriously, hear me out. I'm not just ragging on you.

Sure, bias exists, but you're getting awful at identifying it. More importantly, railing about bias won't get what you want, which is bringing grief to center->left people in power.

I have something better for that.

What you want is a Meaningfully Competent Press Corps - something that mostly doesn't exist now.

An MCPC never hesitates to target anyone in power. It knows government and corporations are dangerous by default - that harm is only averted thru ceaseless, aggressive, public oversight. It lives to expose powerful corruption and it doesn't care who's it is. A MCPC knows that secrecy is generally about hiding misdeeds and it never, ever assumes powerful people are being truthful.

Will a MCPC routinely ding powerful people you like? Sure, but isn't that what you see happening now? Wouldn't it be gratifying to see powerful people you dislike get dinged?

How about Pelosi going down for protecting horrific CIA abuses? Sweet. Imagine Obama being justly shamed for prosecuting more whistleblowers than all previous PotUS combined. An MCPC could deliver that for you.

Consider how golden that could be.

Seriously conservative dudes. Forget bias. An MCPC will cost you nothing that you aren't already paying and it is uniquely positioned to give you rich, satisfying payback - which, truthfully, is what you want.
