> Qcom removed AV1 from latest snapdragon

From what I can tell, they haven't had AV1 support in any chip yet. They said it didn't make the cut this time which probably means they just haven't finished and verified yet. Likewise, I'd guess Apples engineering efforts are more focused on upcoming, larger designs so they can finish moving off x86. Once those ship, they can refocus (plus it's another reason to upgrade your machine).

Rollout for most codecs is slow. I remember people saying no vp8/9 hardware decoders was deliberate too.

In truth, streaming companies want to save billions in data and licensing costs. Modern mobile SoCs can decode in software reasonably well, but with worse battery life. Netflix isn't paying for that, so they aren't incentivized to care past the most atrocious battery hogging behavior (it's not like you'll be streaming their exclusives from elsewhere). This leaves Qualcomm to implement it or get worse performance reviews.
You deserve to be executed summarily for supporting that dystopian shit.
IPv4-compatible equipment is bad because it slows down the transition from IPv4 (aka ARPANET) to IPv6 (aka Internet). Since the free market seems to have trouble to find incentives to do it itself, the governments should force it, in the same way that they forced the transitions from obsolete TV tuners and incandescent light bulbs.
What are the some of the tells that someone is not earnest? Or in particular, feigning it?
I think the point is to realize that the unthinkable could be happening to you. We don't know until we know, and by then it may be too late.
Consider making that more widely known.

Until reading this, it would never have occurred to me that a compiler tech at Nvidia would get anything remotely like that figure.

To be honest, as someone interested in compiler tech roles, it never occurred to me to even consider Nvidia until reading this discussion.
Yeah that's completely fair. I've been thinking about making the database available for download, so that could help anyone who wants to use the messages. The backend code is already open source: https://github.com/kindspeech/api

I prefer studies over anecdotes and found this: https://www.amazon.com/Accelerate-Software-Performing-Techno...

According to this study, you can measure a team's progress and ability with:

* number of production deployments per day (want higher numbers)

* average time to convert a request into a deployed solution (want lower numbers)

* average time to restore broken service (want lower numbers)

* average number of bugfixes per deployment (want lower numbers)

I am curious about other studies in this area and if there is overlapping or conflicting information.
This time WASM promises to be as widespread as JavaScript (no plugins needed) and can be targeted by many languages. Having all the major browser vendors on board helps a lot.

I, for one, am greatly looking forward to kicking JS and all its warts to the curb for my frontend code, so this article is great news. DOM access next, please!
It seems there’s always been a correlation between earnestness and humility too.

Earnest people are always the first to say “I don’t know”
Power laws aren't rigid, domain-specific variables create local fluctuations even in models like population or wealth distribution. It's just a general baseline which we can use to model certain characteristics of a system.

Many times abstract nouns can omit or include the article and still be correct, the article adds specificity and sometimes it's required to be "more correct" grammar but many ESL kids don't see enough counterexamples to learn the "rule".

"These are times that try men's souls" vs. "These are the times that try men's souls."

"I need answers" vs. "I need the answers"

"I have fear that .." vs. "I have a fear that .."

Native English speakers "know" which "sound better"; many ESL kids simply do not.

I don't see what might spur anyone to claim this. It's obviously ridiculous.
I didn’t know this, and I’ve been using HN for years now, thanks for the information. I just thought Paul Graham was some super popular vaguely tech person.
I don't think it's the automated detection that's a problem. It's the "you cannot object, you have no recourse, you cannot reply, you cannot show your license, and when we decide this has happened enough times, you cannot use our platform" that's the problem.
It’s only the RIR which requests proof you will multi-home and you must have been able to say to which AS you would peer to get the /22, since it’s a question RIPE asks as standard and the analyst will have considered in approving your application.

BGP itself doesn’t care at all. Announce the entire block from one “region” in Vultr, or split it out with a /24 in four different ones. It’ll work just fine.
A political discussion need not be divisive. Again, it's not good that so many have been convinced that it must be.

Do you have a link? I suspect there's some asterisks there. I used to operate a photo minilab and could process a roll's worth of photos in 1-2 minutes. That's 4 seconds at the outside to evaluate a photo, make brightness and color corrections, next photo. No way I'd be able to sustain the same rate by having to mouse around and click at least four different targets, bouncing from brightness to magenta/green to blue/yellow back to magenta/green to cyan/red before giving brightness a final tweak. Fitt's Law[1] is death to speed for all sorts of workflows.

I'm not saying that keyboard-based operation is superior in all cases, but a good keyboard-centric interface can eliminate the need to acquire a target (e.g. menu/toolbar item) for the most common operations because there's a hotkey. Well-understood operations can go almost at the speed of thought (either the operator's or the machine's).

I stayed at a quirky hotel in Amsterdam where all of the rooms had different themes. The theme for this room was camera obscura. One wall had these large windows that had metal doors to totally seal out the light but the door in the middle had a small hole to make the camera obscura. The next morning we had a pretty cool shot of the buildings nearby. I hadn't ever actually seen a camera obscura before so I had no idea it looked as good as it does.

I've met some people like that. But only because they are earnest and also have a boring interest or just one or two interests. Not very common in my experience.
Doesn't this Twitch feature basically ban games like Guitar Hero? What about game OSTs that are also sold separately?
I use paredit in Emacs, and most Lisp (Clojure) programmers I know use some variant of paredit in either Emacs or IntelliJ; however, I know one programmer who is very productive without paredit, though he does use rainbow parens.

All those parens in Lisps take a little getting used to, but to be honest, I miss them when working in any other language, precisely because of the structural editing paredit allows.

Also, if you're working in Emacs, I recommend trying aggressive-indent mode as well.
Man... that’s 700 downloads a day. 29 downloads an hour. That’s by no means “popular”. At least not in the scale you should be looking at.
I'm sorry if the words sound empty to you. All I can say is when I place this badge in a GitHub repo's README or in my email signature, it's my way to wish well on the people who come in contact with that repo, or with my email, and it is sincere. The messages vary but they all support that same intention.

At times I've stumbled on graffiti in the street that were random messages of kindness from complete strangers, and they brightened my day. So I don't think it needs to come from someone who knows you to mean something.
Here’s the rub. I’m an MBA. But I’m primarily a programmer. I run my own firm, so some ‘MBA’ skills do get used. But you don’t need an MBA to run a business. Its not the degree that’s the problem. It’s the focus on the short term that’s toxic.
I've also read Nietzsche different from this post, and my professor taught it different.

Things like talking about power in the article seem more related to people that came after Nietzsche. Something more like Foucault.

I also don't think he's really concerned with mathematical versions of truth.

I think there's probably a good way to interpolate between Nietzsche and the programming world. In the sense of believing in things because the community does. That's probably another discussion.

Don't know why this is being downvoted. Manufacturers absolutely shouldn't be designing their products to be unrepairable in this way.
Can we put machines with grip claws in a random forest, no human oversight and make them build a house? Including foraging the lumber, foraging fuel etc? You need a huge amount of intelligence to navigate complex 3d environments, identify different kinds of objects in nature, identify different beings as threats of friends, identify suitable spots for building, handle errors when stuff you did failed etc. We are nowhere close to that level.
>non-earnestness because it doesn't make as much money as the US (because they have more startups [...] , and judging almost everything through the prism of money,

You're interpreting the blog essay unfairly. PG isn't looking at everything (such as "earnestness") only through the prism of money. It's a blog post with deliberately limited scope.

His first sentence sets the context for the rest of the essay: "Jessica and I have certain words that have special significance when we're talking about _startups_."

Yes, we all know there can be other activities to also express earnestness such as creating art paintings, music, parenting, volunteering, teaching, etc. but he omits those and discusses it in relation to startups because... startups is what he often specializes in writing about. It doesn't look like mocking Europe to me.

I understand you want a more universal essay (measures of earnestness beyond startups) but that's not necessary for PG's blog audience.

Before you say anything, Visual Studio Code depends on (and bundles) ripgrep to do its fast searches. (Emacs defaults to using your system's grep.)
Nice to hear, thank you!
I just added navigation via the HJKL keys. Btw, you can also use WASD to navigate.
I guess it's also true that earnestness often leads pursuits resulting in "build it and they will come".

I think many of the things you are surprised about on web pages such as Amazon or Google search results are due to accessibility.

Yet at the same time, you are advocating for keeping familiarity but want tab to skip entire parts of the web page.

I've long clung to Epiphany (the Gnome browser) simply because it did a bunch of things right (eg. back button works in a new tab opened with a link), but at some point gave it up because it was falling behind in other rudimentary features. Which is to say that you are sticking with Chrome because it does all the other stuff reasonably well, not because of that one pet peeve of yours.

And no browser is good in regards to memory management, because web pages are not keeping their memory use in check.

There are quite a few historical camera obscura. Examples:

https://www.torretavira.com/en/what-is-a-camera-obscura/#jp-... (uses a mirror to project an image on a table surface, and allows one to rotate the tower containing the pinhole. Uses a lens, so this is a camera obscura, but I’m not sure whether to call it a pinhole camera)

Earnestness is what happens when people "let the guard down" and just be themselves. That's a rare state for a lot of people, who have spent a lifetime trying to be anyone but who they really are.
Great. Now my company's engineering recruiting email "honest and earnest" turn of phrase about culture is less likely to make candidates pause and consider why I focused on that, but instead probably gets classified as regurgitating whatever everyone read on HN. :)

I think it's worth stating here pretty pointedly that despite what some comments below speculate about the killer's supposed low intelligence based on grammatical and spelling errors in the text of his messages, I very much doubt that anyone without a fairly strong level of cognitive capacity could have or even would have created such fairly complex ciphers (and without the aid of more widespread computing or knowledge of crypto as is the case today).
I reached for Preact on a project and was very satisfied with it. Until, that is, I hit a bug where DOM elements would be rendered out of order when I would call setState. I replaced Preact with React and everything worked fine. The logic was fairly straightforward as well - I was not doing anything fancy.

Preact is great but be prepared for anomalies like mine.

20 states are disputing this election, with scores for Biden as high as 781% in some counties (City of North Muskegon, MI).

Most of the by-products decay away much more rapidly in thorium reactors and the rest are super easy to detect. This should have recycling easier (let it set for a few years after powering down then recycle it necessary). If each unit fit into a slightly oversized shipping container, safely transporting it doesn't seem more difficult than transporting in nuclear material in the first place. Plus, since waste is going right back into a new containment, it probably doesn't have to be as clean provided you can keep workers safe.
It would be interesting to see YC to move to funding with less regard to business plan. I know they already do this but what if you totally threw out the market research and gut feeling about the usefulness of the product and gave people 500k based on their interest and ability only.

This is my life right now: reckoning with optimizing a ROS1-based system that was itself hacked together in record time.

ROS seems almost like it wants to distribute state by default. And it has no primitives for sanely managing distributed state, health checks, etc. The lego brick approach to camera drivers is great, but trying to orchestrate all those bricks is a nightmare. Rosparam/master is woefully inadequte as a control plane.

I recommend anyone in this space look at tools like Consul.

When will platforms start to be charged for their mistakes?

Pretty sure if they had to make financial compensations for their mistakes, they would start using humans more often to support this crap automated system.

You would start to see more people being able to reach human support, getting human replies, etc.

Would be pretty easy - for each day without reply, fine X. For X day of suspension, fine Y. And so on.

If they give tools for people to make their lively hood on, then they are responsible for their mistakes. This is happening for far too long, on too many platforms: Youtube, Amazon, Twitch... only if you have special access to insiders, or if you're some kind of celebrity, or you reach a massive outcry, is when you are able to reach a human that solves your problem rather quickly?

I say that's bullshit. Make them pay.
Even in C++ you have to take care with allocation patterns and what data structures to use.

If more care was taken in such areas it would also perform somehow better.

Hopefully when Java joins the world of languages with automatic memory management with support for value types, these kind of issues start being only a matter of careless programming.

Java 16 will bring the experimental API for native memory by the way.
Source please and maybe population increase would explain that.
Hey DoreenMichele, thank you for sharing your story, helping that woman was indeed a very kind act in my book. However, I do believe there are other ways to express kindness as well, even if they are not as effortful or if the results aren't immediately apparent.

Just a single data point, but as a matter of principle I never use a debugger. Any time spend inside the debugger is 100% lost and useless to other people.

To study a code, it is best to copy it, run it, and keep adding assertions, comments, and logging infrastructure. Besides helping you to understand what the code does, all these changes are useful for other people who may need to understand the code in the future.

That seems to be the story, but the second half of the game, as per the recruiter, is that once in, you can go to the military doctor and 'realize' that you seem to have a bit of ADHD to get a prescription for the very same meds: "I think Concerta XR 27mg might be what I need".
You are right, I probably over-sold it a bit. Yes, becoming indistinguishable from a native speaker is a pretty high bar, though having a fairly non-descript accent I think is achievable.

For cases of non-native speakers mastering an accent, one anecdote I heard of was Hugh Laurie's audition tape for the role of Dr House. The story goes that the producers of the show considered it extremely important to have the character be played such that he was quintessentially American, and were very happy with the audition tape from Hugh Laurie, who convinced them on this front - only to meet him later and be shocked at his native RP accent.

The 781% claim is another of those easily refuted that falls apart on scrutiny:
