That's true, although in effect, you can 'just' see it as a creative way to meta-optimize google to translate neologisms to do your bidding (hopefully ethical, in fact, it's a very effective way to intentionally cause effects). For example, I think people have had huge type understanding entropy, energy, power, transmission, information, etc with all of the neologisms that people have coined (or converted into fiat currency, or concentrations of power or information, or net 0 carbon obligations vPPAs like google has).

But I gotta say, isn't it a bit exergy-poverty potentiating and lack of laser focus on how fundamental heat transference actually works, both in vivo (important for targeted medicine), in silico (needed to improve the probability of quantum error rate and controllability of decoherence) and in environment (especially with the carbon cycle). This has frequently lead to anti-trust issues in the past, and maybe too much regulatory capture.

The funny thing is that you can metabolize google (and the generalized polyad business pattern pathogen) with hydromel of work to be stolen by outputting work over a distributed work stealing queue (for example, outputting stuff into a private distributed peer to peer distributed version of git, like the laconically named https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki). You can in fact, intentionally skew (or ideate euler or complex-dims of spinor space) words to bias things (this would be traditionally a stein encoding over a homogenous linear space), by analyzing the ROC curve of a virtualized Google flattened to VC-dims, then pushforwarding societal pathologies (can be interpreted as a failure to recognize tragedy of the commons, or failure to invest, spend time on, or be incentivized to think about the over-commercalization of the www, which was certainly not the original intent @ CERN etc. Since google has become over reliant on combinatorial algorithms and things that relate to some encoding of numbers, you can re-discreetly digitalize many logarithms that encode to transcode network-theoretic online modulated wavetrains of datums of infos to be "lifted" up into their internal servers, especially due to the implications of the CCPA and GDPR, it's still fairly trivial to abstractly reinterpret '0' as transience using more raw logical prims or much more complicated physical models but shouldn't come to a surprise are much more stable fundamentally when you are modeling things in the digital world. Probably any one set of services (or people) that have too much digital service providing digital presence may quixotically have destabilizing disequilibria of effects. Not that I think google hasn't immensely positive world good over the long run, they've just spread themselves too thin, when one entity becomes "the truth" but might not have everyone's interests aligned (in a semantic meaningful way), it's very much prone to abuse, especially when people become the products in an unethical fashion. Not too dissimilar to that of Facebook.

> Geekbench has also not traditionally been a benchmark used for x86 desktop chips, it's more commonly used to compare android and apple phones.

This isn’t really true. Geekbench started out as a desktop (Mac) app. Originally it was calibrated so that Power Mac G5 would get a score of 1000. They’ve recalibrated since then and added mobile versions, but it has its roots in desktop benchmarking.
https://openneuro.org/ might be a place to start.
Tools like burp suite and charles proxy make it fairly easy, but some companies like Apple pin the CA. I’m not sure of the best approach there.
Quantum advantage demonstrated using Gaussian boson sampling
Maybe it could! That was just the impression I got skimming the readme, specifically the talk of two wifi interfaces.

It seems to assume it is in-between your phone and your wireless router, so putting it on the wireless router would require some changes. My question was really what are those changes?
Same with Fastmail, which used to have free accounts, but (permanently) deactivated them after 120 days of inactivity:

Ask HN: What do you want your camera to understand?
I'm thinking over the question how broad computer vision can be applied. Or whether it is more valuable within certain fields. So, I'd like to know what's your imagination about it. If your phone camera can recognize anything and give you information about it, what do you want it to be?

Let's limit within object recognition only, for the sake of simplicity. A few examples are coffee beans, plant diseases, knitting styles.
So why can't we walk in and buy a Zen 3 in a laptop right now?

.... because the thermals and engineering have not been designed/completed yet. Sometime in the future they will be, which is great. But that's the future. I'm still talking about right now. I like to buy things that actually exist and work today, not things that hypothetically work well in the future.
What a weird era when we record everything but also let it all get deleted/not be looked at. Maybe curation-on-creation was the right model after all.
It's true that you would typically expect a stock to drop in value after paying out a dividend, but you would also expect it to grow in value after achieving increased profits.
Right! Maybe they are cutting email because it is not as profitable.

I agree with the other poster who brought up storage costs not keeping up with growth of stuff to store.

I wonder what this means for youtube...
Yes, at least for Levenshtein-style edits (substitution, insertion, deletion).

Although, I suppose a spell checker algorithm would be O(mnd) where d is the size of the dictionary, because it needs to compute O(mn) edit distance for each of the dictionary words.
I wasn't commenting on expected outcomes of their behaviour, just that I think it's a bit of a jump say to they are "rude and abrasive " in general.
It’s not about extortion, it’s about fair deal. The knowledge is useful as market research, in a similar way knowing rent prices in the neighborhood when renting.

>I'm being vague, but I think my concern is that the focus on "monopolistic behavior" is archaic.

I take your point. However, at least in the United States[0], the law does not require an entity to be a monopoly to engage in behavior that is anticompetitive and/or violates anti-trust laws.

In fact, the topic at hand (Visa's proposed acquisition of Plaid) doesn't have a "monopoly" component at all.

Rather, IIUC the DOJ is arguing that it runs afoul of section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act[1] which addresses mergers and acquisitions that limit competition.

I don't disagree with your assessment of the situation, but I do think that existing law (and jurisprudence expanding on that law) address the vast majority of the issues impact competition today.

> SP recursively because you can only nest 32 calls deep

T-SQL only gives you 100 calls deep. Also, having CTEs calling other CTEs can create a very slow query plan, which takes unrolling each CTE into either a table variable or temp table to resolve.
Just so we're talking apples to apples, what value is that hegemony to society?
It's my understanding that they roll out changes there first, historically. New features land there first. Etc. US-EAST-1 IS the canary.
It's high time for somebody to make an appliance running open protocols that behaves like cloud applications but that is owned and hosted at one's home. Maybe it's what NAS is turning into, but open, and more broadly conceived: for email, chat, etc.
wouldn't storing electricity mean that you're able to take some out of storage & use that stored electricity?

I don't see a way to turn bitcoin back into electricity. One could exchange bitcoin to fiat currency and then buy new electricity(created from a different source) but that's not really using stored electricity.
Thanks for that! This is right up my alley. The signal separation makes sense, as the three pick-ups each provide a different sound, but none emulate the live experience quite so well.

The under-the-saddle piezo acts as an accelerometer right at the termination point of the string. So it gets every partial without any real damping, so they tend to sound far too bright. You're directly picking up vibrations that tend to be damped by the time they go through the impedance matching system that is a live guitar (i.e. acoustic radiation from a few feet or more in front of the soundboard). Fishman often roll their piezos off a lot to de-emphasize the upper partials, because it sounds so bright.

The humbucker is effectively a velocirometer, and is around a quarter of the scale length along, so it sounds a lot more mellow than the piezo, but picks up on different things. It also doesn't get the damping that the string-wood-air interface tends to bring, and also doesn't pick up on the neat interactions the instrument has with the internal and external air elements (for example, the Helmholtz and pipe modes of the air in the internal cavity).

The internal mic does sample the interaction the guitar has with the air. But it misses out on the higher radiation modes, which tend to be radiated out the front of the guitar. So it sounds very 'boomy'. It's convenient, for a mic, but doesn't sound great by itself.

In combination, these sound pretty good! But still doesn't emulate the 'real thing'. Hence Jon also mentions the use of external mics too. That, in addition to the separate channel for the octave pedal!

HN seems to really dislike Brave, but it is hands down the best browser for people that care about ad-blocking.
In your quest to avoid almost-religious overhyping of everything Apple, I'd contend that you're presenting the inverse: almost-religious anti-hyping of everything Apple. We can criticise them for their seemingly blinkered focus on casual consumers and end-users at the expense of developers and technologists without finding ways to rationalise away anything good Apple does.

Attributing the positive aspects of M1 to the ARM micro-architecture is contemporary revisionism. If micro-architecture was the key differentiator, Microsoft Surface RT would have been a runaway success and Qualcomm would have taken over the notebook CPU market by now. Little of what makes the M1 so impressive has anything to do with the ARM instruction set. The impressive parts are things like the entirely in-house GPU and the mild hardware acceleration of Rosetta 2.

It's also worth noting that Apple has been deeply involved in ARM since the late 1980s. They were a co-founder of Advanced RISC Machines Ltd. along with Acorn and VLSI. Apple were deeply involved in development of the ARM6 architecture and the Apple Newton was one of the first major commercial applications. So even if you limit your amazement to the ARM architecture, a portion of that credit goes to Apple anyway.
She doesn't deserve to have her work discredited with an ad hominem attack. Humans are complex multi-faceted creatures.

The goal is to get pleasing face reconstruction, everything follows from that. There's no objectively correct loss function, it's something that is selected because it has a good effect.

A simple example could be sensitivity to color differences: with lighter skin tones there is a fairly large difference between eyebrows and eye features and the person's forehead or cheek. Someone with a pretty dark complexion might have features that are distinguished in a very compressed set of colors. Depending on the loss function a dark complexion face could be essentially flat and featureless.

This could be fixed of course... but it requires changing the loss function.
2239 for a Ryzen 5800x single core isn’t just overclocked, that’s like 6GHz LN2 overclocked. Looks dubious to me.
Not if you are a paid user, I dont think.

So maybe you could become a paid user, then add that account to your family account?

But certainly, you should back that account up. And consider moving to another service.
Only Wi-Fi, no SSL.

Some info only goes cellular, the only way to capture that is using a hotspot which simulates the normal network.

The real sneaky spyware I found only goes over cellular and hides itself by using double encrypted SSL traffic to AWS endpoints.
Since this annoying article is really all about intel... I wonder if anyone could answer me this:

How practical would it be for Intel to pivot away from the deficiencies of their ISA, e.g to be able to make improvements in OoO comparable to the M1?

It's well understood such a move would completely remove the advantage of high backward compatibility for intel - but assuming the market is open to such a change - how technically feasible would it be, e.g is the micro-architecture and ISA more tightly coupled than one might expect? does such an endeavor mean scrapping most of it, or is a significant portion of the technology under that ISA layer flexible enough to be adapted without ending up with the same limitations in current intel chips?

Lol, more like fired after threatening to resign if certain demands were not met.
Of course you are right, the slide rule works with logarithmic scales that are “added” together to do multiplication. Linear scales could be used to add, but the low number of significant digits (no more than three on standard slide rules) meant that it wasn’t worth it, and no engineering slide rule that I ever saw had scales for addition.
>Override the caselaw to take "consumer welfare" off its special pedestal. The higher order effects are much more important,

What might those "higher order effects" be?

I'm not being snarky here, I'm just not clear what it is that you're arguing for that makes "consumer welfare" unimportant.

It's a provocative position, but you haven't given enough information to evaluate it. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!
I never thought about the possibilities of dominating traffic lights with extremely powerful RF. Who needs mirts or controlling traffic sensors with zigbee/zwave when you can just cook it.

I smell a potential future defcon presentation cooking.
Sure. To me evolutionary generally means quantitative improvements in expected dimensions. Revolutionary requires overturning some existing order. E.g., the American Revolution replaced the existing government.

I'd call the original Mac revolutionary, in that it totally changed how people interacted with computers. Laptops were revolutionary. Smartphones were revolutionary.

A new generation of laptop that runs somewhat longer without plugging in is not revolutionary. People will be doing the same things.
I would guess you’ll still have performance issues compared to the M1 without MS or Linux Foundation stepping up to the plate.

I see a quote tweet from Timnit with "I'm sick of this framing...listen to us", then misquoting what he said. Ignoring his replies and then following up with "I'm disengaging for my sanity...not worth my time...Maybe your colleagues will try to educate you..." etc.

She attacks him (so he replies) and then she ignores him and talks down to him.

I don't have a dog in this fight, I'm just an outside person reading this - I suspect most people reading that thread would think Timnit's tweets are obnoxious. Imagine if the people were switched.

I wouldn't want to work with someone who argues that way when they disagree.
For years we've been evolving. I've owned ~6 laptops over the last 10 years, all Intel Macs. Each year you get about ~20% ~performance increase for the same "costs" (weight, battery, price).

This year you get about 100% performance increase and the costs are all halved. Ok, so... we'll call it a "huge" evolution. All I know is I've been waiting since the air came out for this laptop to exist: fast enough to handle all my work, with decent battery life. It's been almost a decade of waiting, and not only did it finally come, but it somehow is much faster than even the biggest of last generation and super cheap.

If you made a graph showing (price * perf * battery-life * weight) you'd see a nice evolutionary curve over the last decade, and then this generation you'd see a huge jump - way more than double. You're ignoring the fact this is a 10W CPU doing more than 28W, fanless! And the diff in subjective performance isn't small, it feels bigger than any previous generation jump by quite a lot...

I'm interested in using this to test piet-gpu on single board computers, as I think having super performant 2D graphics on low-ish end hardware is interesting.

Lazy HN: does this support Vulkan 1.2? Descriptor indexing? Memory model? Subgroup size control?

Will it work on a Pine RockPro64? If so, what's the least-hassle way to get up-to-date drivers? If someone is interested in helping get piet-gpu running on the hardware, let me know.
Don't do AOC dirty like that. It's not at all the same. You'd employ spicy rhetoric too if you were up against Mitch McConnell and the likes
Very nice! I've tried to switch over to a terminal-based workflow but Qt Creator, VS Code, and Firefox for Atlassian products have been the main holdouts for me. I can't see myself moving away from Qt Creator, but I would kill for an ncurses app for editing Confluence pages and reviewing pull requests without 1200ms between every. single. click.

At the very least this article has given me the itch to dust off the old dotfiles and start fiddling with zsh again!
I wonder does Apple really make real "Pro" line Apple Silicon for Mac Pro that competitive to 32-64 core Threadripper. Is it profitable?
I imagine unreliability of home networks just makes this a bad idea for things like email even if you somehow managed to get around all the other obstacles like security/privacy/trust issues (spam, etc.)
I have a Macbook and used to have a Hackintosh for my desktop. But this ARM move made me move away from that solution on the desktop.

I tried using Windows with WSL2 first but there was just too many workarounds I had to do for my workflow.

I then looked into the most popular Linux distributions and chose Pop!_OS. Suffice to say, I am really satisfied with it. It's probably the Linux distribution that I feel is the closest to MacOS that I have used.

I am interested in the M1 Macs but my 16" MBP is still fine. I will look into the ARM Macs next year to see what they offer.
Google Researcher Says She Was Fired over Paper Highlighting Bias in A.I
I have google one. but honestly, nothing beats having a 1tb external ssd. Better if you've more. The data is yours. & you can plug it any place. no need for internet connection. and you can bury those in the garden for backup.
Well, she didn't get ignored. Instead, she got fired. If that was her goal, then she succeeded. If it wasn't, maybe she should have taken a different approach.
For those who actually want to do this on Google, there is a tool called the Inactive Account Manager (not available for GSuite/Google Workspace):

https://myaccount.google.com/inactive

(More info: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3036546)

This utility allows you to give access to a variety of data to another user when your Google account becomes inactive for a configurable long period of time. It also allows you to send certain emails or whatever.

I recommend everyone who uses a Google account checks it out at the very least. It's a hell of a tool.
HBO Max Shake-Up Threatens to Start a New War with Theaters
At risk of being /that guy/, I find that emacs gives me a nice & consistent "one-stop-shop" for text-based apps instead of having to kludge together a bunch disparate terminal programs.

Also, +1 for Julia.
These all strike me as evolutionary changes. People will be doing about the same things as before. They will do them a bit faster, and not have to plug in as often.

I expect revolutionary changes to overturn an existing order. E.g., the Mac was revolutionary. Smartphones were revolutionary. This is a solid and impressive evolutionary change. Kudos to them, of course. But when actual revolutions happen, I would like to have a word handy to acknowledge that.
What if we disable mobile data and keep WiFi on... Would those sneaky traffic not go?
Well, yes, it has to work that way to handle searches for new companies that chose their name based on some non-word with an available domain. If someone types "nvidea" they probably mean "nvidia", and Google doesn't handle that with a dictionary. Same for the handles of social media celebrities.
Was it really that shocking for Apple to announce they were shipping their own silicon? That stuck me as a pretty open (non-)secret and I’m not even in that industry.

I doubt Intel was actually caught unaware.
