Well a simple CPU is much more efficient then a complex one.

A modern AMD/intel uses very few gates to implement the arithmetic. we are talking ~1% of the gates actually do the work. The rest is taken up by Cashes, Schedulers, Branch predictors, Decoders, and a load of other stuff that is designed to speed up the CPU to get good single core performance. all this extra hardware takes up a lot of power.

Here is an interesting thought experiment:

On a large die you could (theoretically) today fit say one million Motorola 68000 Processors. If you clocked that at 5Ghz it would in theory be about 1000 times faster then a Ryzen 7 using the same power. But it would still mean that each core would be hundreds of times slower then a Ryzen core. It would be almost impossible to write programs that would utilize all one million cores effectively enough to make a program run faster on this hardware than it does on a Ryzen CPU.

Right now RISC-V is very simple this means it draws very little power. The problem is that it doesn't scale. The RISC-V instruction set is not one that makes it easy to add all the optimizations that one wants to add for a high performance CPU.

Its a bit like saying that an ant is more efficient than a bulldozer, yes, that's technically true, but trying to coordinating a million ants to build a road is a lot less efficient then just using a bulldozer.
My Chrome settings are to disable by default, and I only reenable it selectively. Unfortunately, yes, it is sometimes necessary.
I know, I have a master degree in Japanese and I work with dictionaries daily.

The thing is 姦 is first and foremost associate with sex, in particular bad kind of sex. It’s obvious from the compounds listed by Weblio: adultery 姦通, rape 強姦, incest 血族姦通. Now in Pleco (Chinese dictionary): to fornicate, adultery, rape.

So do your homeworks and stop spreading bullshit on the web: if the average Japanese or Chinese people stumble upon this character out of the very very restricted contexts it can mean something else, his first idea will be very bad. And in this case, in absence of okurigana, it’s clearly not one of those contexts.

Edit: I queried the BCCWJ Corpus with Shonagon, and there is not. a. single. use of 姦 as 姦しい over 673 results. Everything there is is compounds like 姦通、強姦罪、視姦者、姦淫、姦婦.
Map of Reddit
Have you ever wondered what subreddits you don't know about? Have you been dissatisfied with the classic search + recommendation approach to finding new communities? I was too so made this map!

In this map each node is a subreddit with its size proportional to its number of subscribers. You'll find that each cluster will usually have a few 'hubs' of its most common theme. Each subreddits color is determined by its closest neighbors in terms of audience. That means, for example, most people that participate in /r/plants also participate in /r/flowers. Those relationships aren't exclusive though as each subreddit could be connected to many clusters. Use the search function to find your favorite community and explore from there.

If you have any comments, questions, or feedback I would love to hear what you think!
You left out "there are instances where the researchers actually have no idea what they're talking about, but hope to get a lucrative job in the subject to escape teaching C++ to 19 year olds for the rest of their lives." This may not be such an instance, but it sure looks like one!

Rejigging their text slightly, what they said was "There's only one useful logarithm. It has this property. It's the only useful logarithm."

Yes I noticed their use of a comma (and "which" rather than "that"), in fact that's why I added the disclaimer at the start of my comment about possibly misunderstanding theirs. But sandwiching a mention of that property in the middle of making the same point twice only makes sense if it's a supporting argument.

Though I agree with you, Boeing could have really used the time to properly train 737 type pilots on the MCAS-specific issues. But the whole purpose of MCAS was to not retrain pilots, so instead of those pilot spending the past half year training on the new system, they spent the past half year mostly grounded.
Now I don't know about Japanese but I imagine these pronunciation cues must be even less helpful than in Chinese.

You'd be right about that. Kanji were also imported over time, not at once. So Japanese bases its onyomi, the "Chinese" reading of Kanji as opposed to kunyomi/Japanaese reading, on the Chinese language in different centuries. Oftentimes Chinese people will complain that the Japanese should just use the same reading as the Chinese, when actually the Chinese aren't using it anymore themselves.
The domain of "software engineering" keeps changing. It used to include (what is now) DevOps as an integral part, but now it's becoming its own discipline.

If you do algorithms, nothing changed. If you do frontend, everything changed. If you do backend, change is slower - you are now expected to master (the misleadingly named) serverless; and you are once more not considered uncool for preferring an RDBMS to a NoSQL.

I don't want to start a flame war, but what's wrong with PL/SQL?, I'm genuinely curious.
Styled components are basically html element + dynamically generated class, you get scoping for free (you'd have to use css-modules for that otherwise), and you can define custom props and dynamically modify that component's style. This is extremely useful because one pattern I use frequently is element that has a lot of different modifiers like isSelected or isDeleted, in css you need to define classes for each, but here you just don't return some styles if the prop is not set. You also get full typechecking with typescript for all components, their props and theme. You also get autoprefixer out-of-the-box, and as a bonus if you ever wanted to lazy-load parts of your app, the styles for it should tree-shake correctly without any modifications, unlike traditional css.
Hi friend! I saw it, but it seems you haven't monetized it yet? CMIIW. Did you plan to receive kudos instead of putting a paywall?

You're forgetting about the tax deduction for interest payments on your home, which you've front loaded so that you only pay off the principle after you've retired.
...but multiple TCP connections (within reason: too many causes a problem, but not just a handful) actually almost always out-perform a single one for numerous reasons (including the congestion controller having more leverage from looking like multiple users, being able to hit multiple backend machines from dns load balancing, and working around various per-connection bottlenecks); this is in fact the primary trick of "download helpers": they download multiple independent segments of the file on parallel connections.
Ask HN: I am interviewing product managers – questions to ask?
Hi all! I’m connecting with product managers to understand more about the space. I make 30-60 minute interviews as part of some discovery research I am doing for a side project. I did an interview of a product manager in an enterprise and learnt quite a lot. Here are a few truths and titbits from it.

* Product management is a high velocity communication game. You are constantly working with customers, customer success managers, sales engineers, CXOs, marketing team, sales people etc.
* You can easily have a 1000 open tickets. You need to stay on top of which are in progress and what are the priorities.
* The customer may communicate with multiple people in your organization but ultimately it is your responsibility to ensure that their priorities are taken into consideration and addressed.
* Slack, Outlook in Office 365, Jira, and Zendesk are the goto tools

Here is the interview https://prodjeeves.com/transitioning-into-product-owner-role-interview/

I want to hear what the community says. What would you like to hear?

What would you like to ask other product managers? If you have some questions, let me know.

Otoh, I am also trying to understand the space. If you can spend sometime for an interview, please let me know. I would be glad to.
I believe they had an order in place already, but I bet they've negotiated a big discount on it now.

I think people will fly on the MAX (or 737-8 as it's going to be badged) after a year or two assuming there are no more accidents. Cheaper long haul flights is too tempting.

Though I don't think I'd like to be stuck in a Ryanair plane with the temperature notched all the way up so the passengers buy drinks for longer than 1/2hrs.
the onus should be upon not surrounding yourself with the latest technology - supporting old hardware and upcycling computers.

here in my city I can pull out a sticky mud-encrusted motherboard and GPU from the flea markets - scrub it down with a bit of isopropyl alcohol, and put together something as responsive as a 2015 macbook air for 20 euro (PopOS is a favourite for this).

in an agency, you have an MBP thrust upon you, and your software “works fine on [our] computers”. end users still be running a last generation of CPU will eventually decide “I need a new computer”, and the cycle is complete.

its not that developers dont care, its that they’re never given the chance to care under these ... circumstances.

Why?

Some materials have been around for much, much longer, and so things had an opportunity to evolve to eat them. So we can judge. Eg we know how fast different woods rot. Or how fast stones or steel can be attacked.
Wow, that looks solid on first look friend. How long have you worked this project?

I got your point by the time I looked at your landing page :thumbup
First of all, it's not slave labour that's employed in the construction industry or any of the other sectors. I think I can speak for this considering my relatives worked those "slave" jobs as you put it.

The UAE had long been forced by the British and the Americans to abolish slavery before they gained their independence. This, unlike Saudi Arabia, where it was legal long after the 1970s.

About the "slave" jobs, most of them are basically menial jobs with really shit pay and a combined bunk accommodation. But it's far better than what we get back in India or Pakistan or Bangladesh, which is usually the unemployment line. A number of people have improved their station and are part of the local business community from those levels.

Mate, you gotta chill. You seem very triggered by Tailwind! You don't have to use it if you don't want...

Some comments:

- It's very easy to integrate Sass with Tailwind. You can import the Tailwind classes just like you would Bootstrap: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/using-with-preprocessors#using-...

- You are also allowed to write semantic classes as well: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/extracting-components

I would argue the main point would be you can rapidly build interfaces... like really fast. I worked on a proposal for a client using Tailwind a month ago and we smashed out a whole website in a week. We ended up "extracting components" like buttons and cards and stuff that we found was being reused a lot (kinda like Sass).

As opposed to Styled-Components, the Tailwind classes are very valuable for designers who want to prototype live in the browser.

Also, you were complaining before about design consistency but I would argue that Tailwind allows for very high design consistency. I work with armies of outsourced developers of varying skillsets and I honestly don't trust a lot of them to write clean CSS at all. With Tailwind and Tailwind design tokens, the army of outsource developers are encouraged to work with the design tokens (as opposed to yolo'ing 3px !important everywhere).
Show HN: Accordably – Competitor monitoring made easy
No. The easiest way to clear this up would be for Gebru to make a specific claim that was actually related to the model and include a pull request of her own modifications that she had tested to deliver superior results.

This would be called “research”. That is what she was hired to do at Google. For everybody of every race ethnicity orientation able status and background that would be honored to give their best effort at the opportunity to do research at google, acceptance of resignation was the right thing.
Hi HN,

Accordably was our lockdown project and we built it to scratch our own itch. This problem was something we came across while consulting, as some clients were getting too consumed by what their competition was doing.

For our own products, we keep tabs on what the competition is doing to stay up to date on the industry. However, this is tedious and very time consuming, so we built Accordably to automate it.

We think that it’s most important to focus on your own product. But taking a look at the competition every now and then can give you valuable information on the market in general and also on what works for your competitors and what doesn’t.

After setting up your competitors, Accordably will send you an email report every week, which just take a couple of minutes to go over. This is all the time that we wanted to give our competitors, so we made sure that the email reports cut right to the point.

For the full picture, we’ve also built a dashboard which allows us to sort posts by engagement/time and to filter posts by source.

As an aside, I really dislike this pattern of deliberately misleading headline.

Make it appear that you're asserting a point of fact, Google illegally spied on workers before firing them, knowing that's how the reader will read it, then modify it at the last minute to dial down your commitment to the claim, with US labor board alleges.

You'd never use this structure in conversation, you'd just say it the natural way, US labor board alleges Google illegally spied on workers before firing them.

Unfortunately even the BBC uses this style sometimes.

1) You're claiming it's the same contract everywhere, which is not true, so your second point is moot.

2) Even if it was true, the when would change it. If more people can preemptively compare contracts, the more they would change for the better.

>Not a lifetime ban, but perhaps a 5 year ban from working at Apple after having had a tenure at Facebook.

Japan has something similar for Yakuza members who are defined as "anti social forces" with a cooling off period of 7 years. FWIW I find the idea when applied to Facebook rather appealing.
Aren't GPUs a bit like your example but not quite as extreme?

The CPU you describe would be great for embarrassingly parallel simulation, machine learning, and similar tasks. I wish there was such a thing.

Another thought that I’ve had for a while is that Intel’s Itanium was maybe a good idea badly executed or before it’s time. If you really could offload a lot of that to the compiler you could in theory maintain a lot of single thread performance while having far more cores.
The idea here, based on my past use of Carbon, is not for developers to share code with others. It is for marketing page copy and flair. A screenshot of your VS Code editor is not nearly as pretty on a website landing page as this or what Carbon provides would be.

So, to summarize: it’s for marketing to developers not for code sharing among developers.
That device is a statement to a changing public mindset. Not a solution in itself. In a society where 40% of voters back a corrupt president even after a term where he focussed on enriching himself, I don't see the required readiness.

This isn't theoretical any more. My state (tamil nadu/india) has banned plastic bags and cups .. generally what we might think of as single use. You have to take your own bags or (in some shops) buy reusable+degradable cloth bags. There are also grocery shops like "eco indian" to which you take your own containers, fill them up, weigh and pay. That's how we used to do it when I was a kid, but it all went plastic after that. Glad to see it coming back. Covid threw another curve ball but the ban hasn't changed. Next up should be food packaging.

Oh my goodness, no. The point of crypto is not to speculate and “cash out.” The point is to actually use it, as currency or as a platform (for smart contracts, etc.). No conversion to fiat is required.

> On a large die you could (theoretically) today fit say one million Motorola 68000 Processors. If you clocked that at 5Ghz it would in theory be about 1000 times faster then a Ryzen 7 using the same power.

Right. Then, you have to consider how to supply power to all these transistors switching at once, which would well be in the ~10-100A range and beyond. So you have to figure out how not to have it melt (dark silicon, chiplets to have a lower power/area ratio, etc).

And once you have it not melt, you have to figure out a way of making it useful: keeping the processors fed with data.

Because even the algorithms that crunch just a few variables need to be supplied with those, as well as instructions, etc. This ends up sucking a lot of energy, when you have to clock long lines at 5GHz times the number of CPUs times bus width (you can trade hertz for bus width). To avoid this, we use caches. Good luck keeping your CPU count at 1M with the area SRAM needs. AMD GPUs have been memory bandwidth-starved for a few years now, their latest generation features a whooping 128MB cache.

Adiabatic/reversible computing is another way to get around that, but we're not there yet, and isn't a silver bullet either.

Von neumann architectures is the thing that doesn't scale. In my opinion, we are going to go back to specialized computing, especially since Moore's Law left us in the cold a few years ago. And RISC-V is quite extensible, which makes it relatively suitable for specialized architectures.
Take that thought a few steps further. Maybe a very small number of people in developed countries are happy to not have children and also claim they're doing it for environmental reasons. How do you scale this to the developing countries in Asia and Africa that have the largest populations and highest birth rates? What exactly would you do if you were in charge?
