I’d encourage you to just practice “reading academia”. I love reading papers - it’s like going on a Wikipedia rabbit hole, but with much more detailed information. I’m not an academic or researcher myself.

The common advice is to read the abstract and then conclusion, and only the method if you want to dig deeper.

Try to find a well-cited “meta analysis” or “literature review” in the field you’re looking into. These will common on the current state of the research field, and reference influential papers. They’re a great starting point.

I find myself needing to do something analogous to “suspending disbelief” when reading about a new topic. There is usually a lot of terminology I don’t understand, but I put up with it for a while. Eventually it makes sense. Other times, I need to look up the actual definitions.
Thanks for the heads up. Haven't actually played since Cube was current and Sauerbraten was getting worked on (iirc, time's past).

Next holiday at the hackerspace we're looking for something to spin up and hook in anyone walking by we'll be playing Sauerbraten!
Nobody summoned you to "respond" to my comment. And you certainly didn't do that. You took a circuitous rhetorical tack that only hinted at arguments without making them. Other commenters did a fine job covering that. But you certainly felt comfortable declaring things to be "bad arguments" without having made any yourself yet.

So let me make some arguments for you to consider.

-To declare that certain people (on the basis of their minority status) have inherently privileged knowledge of boundary-less, undefined, fuzzy social dynamics is a divisive assertion. It seeks to divide authority along identity lines.

-To advocate that certain people (on the basis of their minority status) should actively be given privileged decision-making status over collective processes or structures is a divisive and dogmatic advocacy. It seeks to divide power along identity lines.

-To denounce as ethically compromised the people who disagree with you on complex open topics, such as the above two notions, is outright dogmatic. To assume one's perspective is so undeniably true that discussion can only be aggression is a dogmatic position.

I contend that all three of these dynamics are rampant in the preferred methods and among the prominent leadership of the currently en vogue Racial Justice and DEI movements (lots of crossover).

To tie it back to the start: I've observed Timnit engaging in these things, fanning these flames and boosting others who do so too.

But note that my comment implies there are other ways to advocate for diversity and justice. The broad BLM/Kendi/DiAngelo/Gebru style is not the only form and theory of diversity advocacy.

A simple alternative, for example, would be to call attention to the same problems without 1) preemptively attacking other people based on their own immutable identity characteristics, and 2) trying to draw new lines and hierarchies of privileged voice and power.

Lots of people (I suspect the majority of the sympathetic) practice this alternative. However, the louder, Timnit-aligned strain seems to enjoying social privilege in this area at this moment. How ironic.
> I'm a big fan of the adage to not read anything younger than 10/20/30 years old

The only issue I really have with this is textbooks. Especially true for humanities/history where some new things have come to light or new theories/fields have developed.
Hm, yes, but to play devil's advocate - if you want compose for orchestration (I don't) then you want that dependence not so much for initial start up, but for triggering restarts on failure.

As it stands, AIUI, all it does is mean that dependency A comes up too (in some order) when you `up B`.
In that case wouldn't you just:

struct List {
head: Option<Node>
}

struct Node {
value: i32,
next: Option<Box<Node>>
}
As a rule, landing pages for online communities should have some type of link to a "Wait, what the hell is this stuff, and why should I care?" page.

Willing to bet a fair number of folks found this, figured out it was some kind of game, and immediately wanted to know more (I certainly did)... but had to dig around to do so. "Sauerbraten" is a very common German dish, for which every search engine (correctly) returns a big list of recipes.
The internet as we know it would be just fine if we de-commercialized it. Most websites as we know it don't need to be riddled with ads, google fonts, social media trackers, analytics.

"But how do we make money from it?" - if that's the first thought, then maybe it doesn't need to be there. I'd rather have the internet for sharing reliable information, not advertising. It was doing just fine before corporate marketing took it all over.

We can win it back by stripping it down from the bloated mess that it has become.

Welcome to ~~artistic flourish~~
With the caveats that I'm not trans and I haven't looked into the game much beyond reading takes like this, I'll give my interpretation. I think there are a few issues at play, some more nuanced than others.

The first (and most black-and-white) is that CDPR's social media presence has been very… trolly. For example, "did you just assume my gender" is not something I've ever heard a queer person say; it's an anti-woke joke at their expense aimed at people who disdain the notion of gender fluidity. These, I think, color the rest of CDPR's conduct; there are other things that might be considered benign if not for their consistent trolling here.

> The criticism of the character creation surprised me: sure it could be better, but is it not also the most embracing version created yet in any AAA videogame that we known of.

The cynical take is that CDPR is exploiting the issue; they know that this is a popular topic right now and they're appropriating it in order to sell a video game. But even if you assume good faith on the part of CDPR, I think this is a case of intentions not mattering. Ultimately this game is going to be played by a lot of people, and help shape how many of those people see trans issues, and trans people are unhappy with the impression the game will leave.

I also observe that people often use "at least they/we are trying" as a way to evade criticism — even constructive criticism — which makes it hard to move forward. Like, are you only supposed to engage with people that are already hostile?

> Same with the poster: is it not cool to have a buff trans protagonist - they are objectified, but that is the point of posters (see captain america or black widow posters).

Objectification isn't binary; there are plenty of ways to highlight conventionally attractive features, which is why you see films like Wonder Woman lauded for their representation while characters like Black Widow are criticized for superficially similar portrayals. And of course criticism refers only to a consensus; there will always be people who are offended at benign representation and others who are fine with flagrant stereotyping.

Ultimately, I think the author knows that AAA titles are made by teams of hundreds of people, many of whom are trying to make a progressive game. But whatever the creators' intentions, when all is said and done the game and marketing thereof will look how they look, and people will feel how they feel about it.

It needs active cooling for about 10 minutes out of every month. If the fan runs for the other 43190 minutes in the month, then that's dust being sucked into the computer for no real reason, and thus just makes a mess without providing any value in return.
While this is a cynical response, it's kind of true. Many progressive causes are doomed, because almost everything is shockingly heritable. If you try to "break cycles" that actually emerge from acyclic causal networks, at best you will accomplish nothing and at worst you will introduce additional inefficiencies and suffering (more likely).

The one thing you can do that won't be harmful is basically funding genetic selection research, e.g. lowering the cost of IVF embryo selection. This is relatively morally palatable (esp. compared to e.g. eugenics) but will actually have the desired effects.
How about an “Are we wireless yet?” for Web Bluetooth.
That seems overly expensive compared to just keeping a build server
> What value is there in group-classifying the 'wrongthinkers', except to save people the exhaustion and torture of learning new and diverse ideas and for thinking for themselves?

The pleasant feeling of superiority and relief from the obligation of considering anything the labeled person says on its own merits.
Of course, that assertion is hyperbole. The point being I don't think this really belongs here.

I'm someone who finds social stuff very interesting. I mostly don't like gossip rags and a lot of psychological studies are essentially useless garbage.

What value does this article really provide? Does it tell us where you can look out for Paul Graham's personal biases in order to get more value out of his writing? Does it propose better answers to anything in particular?

This amounts to jealousy or something and it reminds me of an old comic strip where the punch line was to the effect of "After 12 straight hours online this woman is going You People Need To Get A Life!"

Tracing transactions on the BTC public ledger did not lead to the downfall of the Silk Road.
But they created their GPU on world-leading TSMC 5nm. I wonder that M1's GPU perf/watt is mostly came from process advantage. I'd like to see comparison with Kirin 9000. (maybe published by AnandTech)

I wish Excel had a more strict typing. Side-effect free functional language (maybe F#?) as the formula syntax would also be very nice. Higher order functions... Maybe I am starting to ask too much.
Some of the latches on expensive coolers are intentionally hard to close, leading users to slam them, which leaves the user with the feeling of the cooler/latch being rugged (and hopefully worth the extra price of admission). These slam latches are much easier to open than to close.
"Extend Emacs to Modern GUI Applications with EAF"

I hadn't heard of this one before, and it's hugely interesting. A shame that it can't ever make it into core because of licensing issues.

Similarly I'd love it if it was more possible to embed Emacs into other applications, like IDEs. That way IDEs could focus on what they do well, and still have a good text editor.
Well thats the thing with my table saw, its an extremely good Tool; ripping, cross cutting, router table, many different materials, coving cuts etc. etc. you call it! but its also extremely old and outdated tool.

I used my table saw for years and one day realized I had accumulated a lot of very detail knowledge of how to use it and spend lots of time maintaining it, thats when i was convined it was not the tool for me or I was using it wrong. I moved to a hand-held jigsaw, then a crosscut saw, and now im giving a handsaw a try.

As much as I liked my table saw, i dont see myself using it again soon.
If I recall, Hawaii has a similar situation, where residents wait for “the Christmas tree boat” to arrive with all the Christmas trees for the whole island.
or maybe it just really is in bad faith?
Does this apply to Google's supremacy announcement and IBM's classical challenge to that?
"People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware." — Alan Kay
Per Google search, Google currently employs about 119,000 people.

So 1,200 condemn it, and 117,800 do not condemn it.
Wow, thanks for that! Had no idea.
Well, both implementations will crash in that case anyway. You can take that case as out of scope of this discussion.

The purpose of the OP and the Linux's talk is to show a better way to walk through linked list, not to show a full implementation.
You might investigate buildah. You can achieve precise control over layers. Also, buildah mount is awesome; direct access to a container file system from the host; COPY/ADD et al. are obviated.
Fiercely put. I love it!
I'm kinda confused on how this will behave if we want to remove `head`—if `head` is in the stack frame (assuming it's a parameter to `remove_list_entry`), wouldn't `*(&head) = entry->next;` be a no-op as far as the caller is concerned? (Sorry for the n00b question.)
It’s an odd complaint to say government wants to shrink. That’s a political stance / opening for corruption, not a governmental goal.

It’s an endless cycle of people wanting less government oversight until they realize why it was there in the first place.

M1 is not a first. It's a scaled up evolution of their mobile CPU offering that started all the way back in 2013. Their Bionic line present on iPads was already quoted as being faster than some laptops.

And in 2016 they were already making ARM CPUs with Big and Little cores on the same package just like the M1. [1]

I thought you were making joke about complexity when I read the first line, but then in the end it's not a joke. Why don't you have 1 single backend peacefully. JS sprinkles for what it needs to be interactive. (I'm tired of "complex form " argument, jQuery turned out ok back then, so does Stimulus or whatever works with server rendered html (e.g. vue))
This will only be allowed to succeed if:

- it's compatible with existing tax systems.

- it doesn't get in the way of the banking system.

- it doesn't get in the way of existing power structures, e.g.: people that depend on an impoverished populace.
For a counter argument, I don't think M1 is going to disrupt anything. Its a great performer for sure, but its locked to a proprietary and closed ecosystem controlled by a single entity.

You could have said (and many did) the same thing about the iPhone in 2007 and it clearly disrupted the phone industry. It was only available on AT&T for its first few years but people had no problem switching carriers. The major incumbents of the time—Microsoft, Nokia, Palm, RIM, Motorola—are no longer in the smartphone business or are out of business as we knew them.

The M1 MacBook Pro outperforms virtually all other laptops in its price class, can drive multiple (up to 6) HDI displays, can run x86, ARM-native Mac apps and iOS/iPadOS apps. You can edit 8k video as if you were on a much more expensive device and the battery can last 20 hours. For many casual users (email, web, basic productivity apps), there are fewer reasons for them to not make the jump.

Its a new direction for Apple in their laptop architecture, and a solid first step, but the raw performance is not up to the fastest from AMD and Intel…

It's faster than all but the absolute latest from AMD and Intel, cost less and draws much less power. Those processors can only be gotten in high-end laptops while the M1 is in entry level products. None of them has the performance per watt and the battery life of the M1 Macs.

The mistake many HN folks make: with Apple, it's the complete product, not just one thing. Sure, the M1 is faster than 98% of laptops that shipped the previous 9 months (according to Apple's fine print) which is amazing for a first attempt. But when you consider the battery life, fit and finish of the design and the nice little extras (studio quality mics on the MacBook Pro), there's really nothing else that's objectively better.

People already in the Apple ecosystem will love M1, but it lacks a compelling reason to switch to Apple.

I've already seen many posts here on HN that people who either never owned a Mac or abandoned the Mac years ago have bought M1 laptops. Apple usually reports each quarter that about 50% of Mac buyers are new to the Mac; I don't expect that to change. And Apple had a record Mac quarter before the M1 shipped [1].

but unless M1 opens up to other designers and companies its a tangent in the great CPU race.

It's not a tangent; it's a shot across the bow of not only Intel and AMD, but the entire PC industry. Neither Intel or AMD can match Apple's performance per watt and Dell, Acer, HP, etc. can't match Apple's design prowess and bundled software, services and support.

Because Apple's designs the entire widget to work together, they can deliver a better experience and there are people who are willing to pay for that, especially when the starting place is it's really really fast.
It's not a new form factor...yet.

The implications from a chip this powerful, with its low-wattage, heat dissipation...will enable the next generation of laptop form factor.
I agree with a lot of this although I would get ride of "to entrench". I think assuming intentionality is both a big assumption and not really necessary to describe the issue.

This happens simply because the dynamics of a winner take all election. George Washington was against parties but it was inevitable they would form and did so quickly (not necessarily because of an evil condition but simply because it is good game theory)

The fact that the major parties are not fighting against rank choice voting leads me to believe that they don't have a preference for a two-party system necessarily. It just isn't a main motivator.
You're misrepresenting GGP's comment. They mentioned incompetence so as to exculpate the people getting bent up about a video game coming out a few months late — behavior that, as GGGP described it, included death threats.

"However, a capsule on the ground in the dark will be very difficult to find. Therefore, we will search for the beacon signal, as mentioned in the previous article. Five antennas will be installed around the expected landing site, which will each record the direction of the signal. These directions will be reported to the headquarters and when plotted on a map, the intersection will reveal the position of the signal source (principal of triangulation). This method is the same as used for Hayabusa, but for Hayabusa2, considering the area we needed to cover and potential troubles, we decided to increase the number of stations by one and search with a total of five stations."
You still make it sound like it would be the zombie apocalypse. Sure, if you're an elderly man, than you better take precautions -- the rest of us are more likely to die of other reasons.
The biggest innovation of the M1 ecosystem is the unification of software ecosystem, battery life and performance for phones, tablets, laptops and desktops.

Many iOS apps can now be run on MacOS via IPA files, e.g. native Slack iOS client app instead of bloated and memory-hogging web/electron client.

For the long-suffering power users of iPads, a Macbook Air offers most of the benefits, plus a proper terminal and toolchains. With early virtualization support, Linux can be run in a VM.

Plus all-day battery life and proper docking support for external peripherals. This has the least compromises of any device in the last few years. MBA has a good keyboard, smallish bezels, ESC key, TouchID for auth and is relatively affordable with same weight and less cost than iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard. MBA is now the perfect "thin client" that also works offline.

As an example: the usable and powerful iOS video editor LumaFusion is now available on M1 MacOS via app store. It costs a fraction of traditional video editors and works well. Looking forward to a new class of prosumer apps that can raise the bar for both iOS and MacOS.
I'd be more inclined to take your point if the lede wasn't PG's current political essays, and the meat wasn't an extensive berate of his naive ideas about programming from 20 years ago.

Anyone that needs to be 'told' that EARTH HAS 4 CORNERS is silly thinking isn't going to hear you - so that's a terrible analogy right there.

When it comes to politics and essays like this that so indirectly (by 20 years! and subject matters miles apart!) try to make their case against a whole person's intellectual status - we are in weird territory.
"Perhaps the most significant implication of our result for deep learning is that it casts
doubt on the common view that it works by automatically discovering new representations of
the data, in contrast with other machine learning methods, which rely on predefined features
(Bengio et al., 2013). As it turns out, deep learning also relies on such features, namely the
gradients of a predefined function, and uses them for prediction via dot products in feature
space, like other kernel machines."

Huh. So the implication here is that a deep network can never generalize results to inputs classes that were not explicit in the training set? And would this result apply for networks trained with something other than gradient based methods?
In Australia, the entire city of Canberra is leased from the federal government, with most blocks being on 99 year leases.

The original idea was a Georgism-inspired approach to capturing land value increases through rent to help fund the city's development, but nowadays it functions effectively like freehold, as most lessees do not have to pay anything other than nominal rent, and you can renew your lease effectively automatically every 99 years, with the added interesting complexity that the government uses additional lease clauses as a form of planning controls.
It's part of the Forbes contributor network. Bad faith is kind of assumed.

edit: Downvote if you want, I'm not kidding. Disingenuous hot takes without much connection to reality is a feature over at Forbes when it comes to tech, not a bug. They're literally traffic mercenaries over there. I'm sure Moorhead is smarting maybe little from the internet anger, but also not too upset to collect a nice bonus before Christmas. I'm sure another Forbes contributor will reprise the role of shit-stirrer-in-chief for the inevitable M2 as well.
This is the same problem with companies that have a “no vacation tracking, just take off when you want policy”. It ends up that no one takes vacation for this same reason.
This is pretty fun, I like it, will take a look at the code later today.

Credibility and authority is incredibly important. How much time can anyone devote to dissecting the words of each living person in case they contain a potentially great idea? I'm happy to examine arguments on merit, but perhaps we should spend more time examining other arguments and not use so much time on his.
While that function may have utility in some context, I would immediately assume that there's something existentially wrong with the context in which such a function was needed.

Ok, it's possible the entirety of it makes sense, but given that C/C++ is full of absurd shenanigans, I think odds are something is wrong with a system that needs that kind of function in the first place.

That such things are common enough doesn't make them a good practice.
