Those uops can be fused uops, and the comparison of x86 uops to ARM instructions is itself inexact; uops themselves have gotten more CISC-y with the various forms of fusion introduced over the years. I believe the newer ARM cores also split more complex instructions into uops, something Apple is likely doing with theirs too.

Apple clearly got something good in the M1 uarch, but it's definitely not as simple as "wider decodes". (The Itanium had a huge decode width compared to other processors at the time including x86, and was amazing in benchmarks, but otherwise a dismal failure.)
sadly those extra days gained would do little to even put a dent in that figure.

You really get to see who isn't happy with their lives at home. Many for reasons I'm sympathetic to, but a comparable many who really need to reevaluate their shit.
Definitely. There's also probably a bit of selection bias when seeing what HN users think of it; a high percentage of users likely have (at least) decent writing skills and probably read things fairly often (even if it's just blog posts/emails/chats).

If you read/write very rarely and speak very often, these kinds of misspellings may seem pretty natural. But if you write a lot - perhaps even a lot more than you speak - they may stick out like a sore thumb and your brain might flag them as highly unnatural and a potential sign of hidden meaning. (I'm probably like 99.5% writing 0.5% speaking, myself, and I bet many people reading this are, too.)

Then combine it with one of the most mysterious and analyzed crime stories in US history, with a cryptic, megalomaniacal serial killer who loved to use ciphers and symbology to toy with the press, public, and police. I can definitely see why people might suspect something deeper to the spelling, but the null hypothesis always needs to be carefully considered, first.

And a side note: does anyone know what the trends over the decades are like for less "hodgepodge-y" languages, like Spanish and German? They seem to have rules for pronouncing based on spelling and spelling based on pronunciation that are a lot more predictable and consistent than English's. I would guess that the popularization of spellcheck/autocorrect might be less significant for such languages, though I'd also love to be proven wrong.

> There is no reason to suppose that a youtube moderator is non-partisan, a high rung thinker, or emotionally detached from the subject they are evaluating.

The other way to frame this is that there is a reason to suppose that, at this point, someone uploading videos to YouTube claiming evidence of widespread voter fraud—which is all that YouTube are prohibiting here—is almost certainly not a high rung, emotionally detached thinker.

> Yes but there is not a reliable, objective way to identify them or to check their reasoning process for errors.

No, but you can make a reasonable deduction on which of these two groups of people—YouTube moderators or mass voter fraud video uploaders—is more likely to succeed at being objective. There are no certainties when dealing with humans and we just have to roll with it using the best heuristics we can.

> I'm at a loss to explain this except that either we have some different premises that have not been revealed in this discussion so far,

I don’t know. This may be a wrong assessment on my part, but it feels to me like you are extrapolating negatively into the future far more than I am in terms of the potential harm this one change to YouTube’s terms could cause.

Believe me, I totally understand the potential for harm caused by powerful interests controlling a narrative—there’s a limitless number of examples to choose from, many of which have been targeted directly at people like me—but the harm that is happening right now is that other powerful interests (the President of the United States & his political party) have made up a story about voter fraud and are encouraging a bunch of their partisans to flood the zone with shit, and they are doing that on YouTube.

In my eyes, this ban might help to disrupt the ongoing voter fraud misinformation campaign enough that it ends up collapsing before permanent damage is done to our democracy. It seems vanishingly unlikely that it is the start down some path that ends with people being brainwashed by YouTube into believing a bunch of falsehoods, especially compared to the alternative of letting people continue to upload this garbage to their site.

I’m far more concerned about YouTube’s recommendations algorithm and the way it is deliberately designed to funnel people toward more and more extreme content. I suspect YouTube would not need to ban this content at all if their algorithm hadn’t spent the last decade optimising for engagement over all else.

This is what I think too. I try to do my best to talk to these people and alleviate their fears. But as well, I predict that as their family and friends and millions of people in general in front of them receive the vaccine, and end up fine, that it will change their mind. The vaccine will go from being spooky to no big deal.

People respond to violent attacks differently than outbreaks of infectious disease. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I hate Trump's bullying tactics as much as the next person, but let's be clear - the FDA had completed its data analysis and released it a few days ago, and then the advisory panel yesterday supported its endorsement. At this point it was clear the vaccine was safe and effective, and an EUA should be rapidly announced by the FDA, whether the Trump would pressure them or not.

Boxes of the test kits. I was giving precedence. Frankly surprised this is news to so many people. It’s well known in e.g. D.C. circles.
Why is it strange? Why should us software developers be allowed to work from home, but others who need a livelihood and provide valuable services to society should not be allowed to produce goods from home?

After all, dentists and tailors see clients in their homes, and people who sell t-shirts online often manufacture and ship the goods from their home.
The US has currently purchased enough vaccine for 50 million people (100 million doses). Further doses from Pfizer are not expected until around June because of obligations Pfizer has to other countries.

Within the US, each state will be allocated vaccines in proportion to their population. Each state is then responsible for deciding how to allocate them. You can look for your state here [0]

Logisticly speaking, the plan [1] is for Pfizer to ship vaccines directly to the point of use, using custom containers featuring dryice, thermal sensors, and GPS. These containers can passively maintain temperature for up to 10 days.

Once at the point of use, the vaccine can be stored for up to 6 months if a suitable freezer is available.

Without a ultra low temperature freezer, the vaccine can be stored in the Pfizer container used for shipping for up to 30 days, provided the dry ice is replaced regularly.

Standard refrigerators can store the vaccine for up to 5 days.

The vaccine must be thawed before it can be used.

Sure that's possible and you are well within your rights to choose this path of action.

But – excuse me for putting this bluntly – it is obviously very selfish. If everybody calculated their risk like you do, the result would be that the pandemic drags on for a few years, a lot of preventable deaths happen + probably a terrible economic downturn. You have the choice to sacrifice a little bit (meaning a tiny chance of vaccine complications) of your own health for the greater good – or you can slack of others doing it for you. Because that's what's going to happen, most people voting "yes" on this thread are making the same calculation you are but deciding to sacrifice a little bit of their own health.
"They should have put in an army of analyzers into it."

Disinformation and the rise of computer generated audio, video, and images is going to make this problem even more challenging. I think we may need to come up with ways to sign audio, video, and images that guarantee that the media is captured naturally (or that the media hasn't been tampered with since it was spread by a certain entity).

I also think we need to build back the public's trust in institutions. Once they deserve that trust. When anyone with any motive can spread content online that reaches thousands or millions without much of an editorial process, well... it's proven to be disrupting.

These are very challenging problems.. I'm counting on Tristan Harris to bring us something.

Utter nonsense, see r/politics.
They’re arguing about analyzing the data more quickly rather than spending three weeks analyzing it. There’s no additional data gleamed in that time period.
I don't understand then, why would the FDA need to be threatened? Wouldn't they try to move as fast as possible within the bounds of reason?
It won't. This isn't a problem with autonomy technology, humidity goes up over night. Crops don't harvest as well, ttires lleave bbigger tracks, and other such things mean that farmers check moisture levels before doing any work.
Funny you ask! I was just pondering that the Zodiac, who only was confirmed to have killed like 5 people, is a legendary serial killer who most Americans are familiar with, because of the mystique around his moniker and his cyphers and who his victims were.

Yet the Chicago Strangler [1], who is still active, still operating to this day, 50+ victims, few have heard of....because he attacks marginalized groups like black runaways rather than white people.

It probably is in the Go runtime but I tend to look at things at this level. For example if there's some bug in libc++ that's not something I can overlook when evaluating the M1.

There was another comment here that was deleted that accidentally showed the output of running x86-64 go on the M1. That's another weird risk at the user level, that you may unknowingly run the wrong binary through rosetta2 instead of running the native one.

> "Even when we know that the information we are reading is false, we can still end up believing it"

I'm not saying human perception is the 'solved problem' - if I know something is false, then can I also believe it ? I actually think the human mind is capable of believing both proposition "X is true" and its logical negation "X is not true". eg "birds are dinosaurs" is both true and not true, inmnsho.

I want people to believe things that are true, but this would require much wider access to higher quality science education, as well as access to good information, protected freedom of speech ...

My feeling is the Twitter model - where outrageous untruths are tagged with a notice - is a good start, and much better than the path of outright censorship that youtube seems to be choosing. I'd like to see a kind of wikipedia crowd-sourced model to fact-check social media - flag a post/comment with "controversial" / "established dogma" / "noncontroversial" / "conspiracy theory" : ] - similar to how we have pseudo-public reviews of books on Amazon and goodreads. Perhaps this can be gamed, but we still have wikipedia and much of it _is_ accurate, so there is hope.
Alas, UK managed to approve the same vaccine a week ago. A week of delay means extra 15-20 thousands of lives lost.
Wonder how many people on here have an actual biology degree and have worked as a biologist...i do and I have...i've yet to see much good science surrounding anything to do with Covid, including this vaccine.

Nothing but a whole lot of emotional response based on sensationalized reports on half assed studies that can barely be called scientific that have been horribly directing government policy and society's actions.

This vaccine and its rushed rollout is just another in a long line of stupid actions based on nothing but fear and profit for corporations at the expense of everyone else.

Dunno what other companies get a nice sweet government legislated market that's worldwide and are totally exempt from any liability for damages.

They're laughing all the way to the bank. They don't even have to worry about dealing with any problems. They get to make their money and everyone is shit outta luck if something goes wrong.

Wouldn't it be great if every company could operate like that?

Just think of how much money could be made.

Yeah I really wanted to dig into AlitVec a bit more, but by the time I took a look at it, we had moved on to Intel. So I just tried to use the OS X vector libraries where possible, and hope for the best.

There was a paper that really got my attention, from US Air Force research I think, that reported a micro benchmark on a Mac Mini G4 where the AltiVec scores blew away their best Silicon Graphics beast.

The M1 reports feel a lot like that. Or better, because of the reports coming in on huge performance gains in real world apps.
The issue with your argument is that you assume there’s some universal definition of “toxic” with which everyone should agree. That simply isn’t the case, especially with the content YouTube has decided to block.

Banning topics frequently cuts losses on trends that are dying anyway. Nobody wants to see ghost town subreddits. It's good for the websites health to keep the place looking alive and clean.

Separating the effectiveness of bans from these trendy moments is difficult. Applying a ban on political discussions around 2015-2016 would have likely maintained toxicity.

Parent's comment was about micro-op caches. Modern x86 processors in a relatively tight loop do not decode the instructions each iteration.

Ask HN: Is anyone working on a less painful intubation tube?
I just had lapriscopic surgery and was put under anesthesia for the procedure, upon waking up my throat and voice are totally messed up. My normal deep voice now sounds like Mickey Mouse's and it hurts to swallow. With all the advancements in medicine and especially during the current pandemic it would seem an opportune time to develop a less damaging breathing tube which I suspect currently is just a piece of vinyl or silicone. After my experience I would be more than happy to kick in a few dollars to support the development of a better tube, possibly made of a more natural material grown in a lab. I figured I would ask if anyone is working on this problem. Thanks.
