> If others leave, will that push Google to make better decisions?

Certainly not. If decision-makers believe it is in their interests, and they can get away with it, they will keep doing it. So you can try to convince decision makers that it is not in their interests, or you can try to show them that they can't get away with it. Quitting an advisory board does neither.

Note that the OP didn't really say they thought or intended it would. They said they were glad they tried to impact AMP positively, they don't think they succeeded, and they are choosing to spend time on other things such as an educational program. Of course by making a public announcement perhaps they hope to affect something, but probably more encourage others in the struggle; after seeing how they couldn't have much impact on the advisory committee, I am sure they know they won't have much impact simply by resigning from it, at least not impact on Google directly.

Modern CPUs like these are shared memory multiprocessors. Programs on these CPUs are often designed to run on multiple cores at the same time to improve performance, necessitating communication between cores, to coordinate and share work between each other. Since each core typically has a private cache, most communication in a system like this will typically involve cache coherence protocols to ensure cores have a consistent view of memory contents. Adding more cores increases the overall complexity of the system. The latency of these protocols grows with more cores as interconnections become more "distant", across processor interconnects. Minimizing latency and effectively scaling to more cores is a difficult problem to solve while staying within silicon and thermal budgets.
Ugh, that’s terrible.
AppleCare phone support can be hit-or-miss. You could try another rep. If you were up to it, you could book an appointment with a Genius at their store, and calmly but firmly lay out your case. Perhaps they would make it right, considering it’s destroying your satisfaction with their products.
Failing that, you may be able to have it repaired less expensively by Louis Rossmann’s shop. (Not a customer, but I know they do these kinds of things.)
Definitely reset the SMC and PRAM if you haven’t already, but I suspect the update might have borked the firmware on a chip. I’m just a random user though.

I've had a very similar but very different experience.

I've dealt with basically exactly what the OP described, but have had a very different takeaway from it. I don't let it affect me at all, it's something I do for 8 hours a day (extremely rarely more than that) and then don't ever think about it or talk about it.

I develop software in my spare time because I love software, hardware, and building things, but in my day job I might as well be a janitor for all the similarity it has to making things.

It sounds like OP puts too much stock in being fulfilled at work (which is great if you can find it), but I have a more pragmatic "I give them 8 hours of my day in return for money (and some growth) and that's it" attitude, which I find helps my mental health much more.

If my job gets to a point where I think that spending 8 hours a day isn't worth the money or that I'm not learning enough, I quit.
> This is wrong. Paying for a service does not automatically mean the service doesn't take your personal information.

No, but it does mean the developer has a lot of incentive to write software for you as opposed to catering to the advertising companies who are paying their bills.

The focus for education is often way too much on the actual instruction (whatever form it may take) rather than the "life structure" the learning takes place in. Let's look at this guy's situation:

>He wasn't working; he had enough money to comfortably pursue this as a full time effort, including paying his tuition, fees, and "room and board" without going into debt

>He was able to establish a routine which included self-care, meaning that he was unhampered by external obligations, mental illness, or material need

>He was able to sequester his studying physically (having a separate home office) and temporally (again, being able to establish a routine which didn't include studying during the time he'd set aside for other things)

>He was studying something he was interested in, with prior knowledge respected and support forthcoming from resources (through a paywall, of course)

If successful study is a function of focus and progression over an extended period, it makes sense that these factors would contribute to that success, as they would have been essential for his ability to achieve and maintain focus (he says as much, in that he mentions never getting close to burnout). In many ways, I think much of what we have in terms of material and presentation is already adequate; the problem is that so many people (including many children) are kept from circumstances conducive to effective learning. People complain about a hypothetical, robust social safety net being an attempt to secure "equality of outcome," but it's evident that successes and failures tend to compound due to the way that outcomes serve as a foundation for the structure future endeavors take place in.

I tend to shy away from opinion only review type comments on HN but I have to say...

> It turns out it's nothing like that, it's more like a new Deus Ex game.

I expected this. It's nothing like this at all.

The writing is atrocious. I do hope "Ghost Off!" becomes a mainstream piece of slang though.

The voice lines are horribly inconsistent in quality (there are lines where it's clear the actor stumbled but the line wasn't redone)

The enemies are brain dead (not just the teleporting cops, all of them)

The NPCs are hollow.

Almost none of the dialog decisions matter. In fact, most of the time the didn't actually add a separate branch for your choice, it needs to loop back into whatever you didn't choose... so your character says something completely different than what you chose

The story is generic and does not at all live up to the promise the setting had.

The customization is a joke. I saw that coming when all we had weeks from release was "genitals and custom nails"

The controls are surprisingly clunky for a modern game

The skill tree is embarrassingly overdone and clearly meant to artificially lengthen the "content" of the game...

The UI is terrible enough to be impressive. Because there's just so much of it there's just so much that could have easily been condensed, and instead they took the brute force approach. I almost feel bad for the programmers who worked on this, but they should have pushed back.

I could go on and on. I actually despise the fact that the bugs have taken center stage, because as someone who hasn't had many, and who's performance has been great, my hang ups go much much deeper than that.

This game will probably never fix the core shortcomings it has because they're not bugs, they're intentional defects and cuts that show a complete lack of focus during development.
There's statements from interviews from June this year that were completely false: https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kbk4ap/the_a...
And yet the change to <center> is not "a few years old". It was deprecated back in 1997 as part of HTML4, because it was never deliberately introduced as a standard tag - <center> only exists because Netscape Navigator was once influential enough to force tags into existence, and it did so, even though the concept itself was flawed.

Centering HTML elements through CSS has existed since 1997 as well, specifically because CSS aimed to make those HTML extensions, that Navigator had introduced, obsolete.

Standards bodies sometimes have to make the tough decision of breaking with the past to safeguard the future. Software longevity is a worthwhile cause, but protecting a 23-year-deprecated, non-standard HTML tag, whose use is bad engineering, is not the kind of hill I would die on.

I was surprised to find no advanced stuff on their curriculum. At first i thought: another genius telling us hes a genius but it seems quite doable.

Obviously. Few apps (outside the very big ones) actually do it though, and with root access any attempt at cert pinning is trivially bypassed of course.

Annoyingly, many telemetry providers seem to have implemented cert pinning because I can no longer inspect the traffic flowing to telemetry endpoints from my phone without rooting it. That's quite a pain in my opinion. I'm fine with being unable to see my bank's traffic, but I want to know why the MS launcher is uploading kilobytes of information every minute instead of just deleting it entirely. That's the downside of being a power user, of course; the features I want cannot be made available to the general public in good faith because bad governments and companies will abuse them.

Google had limited VC investment - a 25m round before IPO. Arguably they turned evil much later so to me the link to “VC corruption” is more specious.

Re cloudflare, can you please help me understand what they’ve been doing that you see as evil?

Given how Mozilla constantly struggles to stay afloat (and effectively depends on the generosity of Google as the single revenue source), I don’t know that’s an example to point to, especially since they’ve had their own share of “user-hostile” steps (albeit fewer since it’s a smaller company).
If you want to transmit 1 quantum bit (qubit), then you need to transmit 2 classical bits. Why is this useful? Because otherwise you have to carry the qubit over by hand. It's really just "quantum ethernet" not "quantum teleportation".

There are actually other uses, too, about error tolerance, allowing you to quality-control some steps of the computation and repeat them if necessary without risking damaging the results of other steps.
that’s a statement refuted by the article in which it appears, though. The Ampere system is clearly not suited to latency-sensitive application services, unless you’re just looking to double your latency for no reason. If you looked at these specjbb results because you’re shopping for Java backend servers then you’re buying Xeon yet again.
The seminal paper on achieving excellence without being "above average" - https://fermatslibrary.com/s/the-mundanity-of-excellence-an-...

Its key finding is that, because excellence and motivation are mundane, they key challenge is "psychologically maintaining mundanity even at the height of complex challenges" that is, still tying your shoes well before your Olympics heat, and smiling confidently and talking coolly during the Cuban missile crisis.

So to me less about your self image and more about assuming the work itself requires no special talents to achieve; just good practices, practiced well.
>it's an extremely fun, really well-made game

There are seemingly infinite number of issues the game is having, I can't imagine calling it well-made. Here's a single compilation from the game's subreddit, where there are hundreds more examples:

The main issue there is flight time. Most small drones have very limited endurance.

That said SAR already use drones to help search when weather permits.

For autonomous systems one thing I find interesting is how far they have to go in this sort of domain versus a good human pilot for example:

That's true. In fact, that's my situation currently, although I've seen the startup -> big company transformation twice as well.

A small, stable startup is probably the ideal place to hide these days, but it's a trick to get there.
A 2 hour commute is also a massive problem. Students should be onsite wherever possible.
I assume this matters if they want to go to grad school, but does it matter for any other reason? I think employers attribute value to programs they have heard of, whether it is ABET or not is not something I have ever considered.
I really enjoy Cory Barlog's (director of God of War) GDC talk about some of the process behind it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIb-Lt7WX_s

Note that the second half is more of a stand-up routine about an experience he had meeting Hideo Kojima, but the first part is excellent.
What's nuts to me is that you're surprised.
Completely agree and I experienced much of that on my own journey. Customers would ask whether I'm interested in taking VC or if I wanted to keep it as a "lifestyle business" - not realizing that we were doing more than fine without requiring outside funding. After a while though it nags at you and makes you wonder whether you should take VC because doing so makes building a business formulaic. Bootstrapping a company can feel like you're in uncharted waters in comparison because a lot of articles assume you've taken or want to take VC. And they assume that you want to exit. I wish there were more publicly shared success stories of bootstrapped companies that didn't take funding because there are more of them out there than people realize. And taking things slower can help you validate use cases, flesh out the product and build the type of company that you want. I'm very happy that we never took VC.
What? Yes, I must be missing the point.

He's not signing it, and if he did, he would not be in contempt any longer. I don't know why he won't sign it if the only reason for not supplying the coins is that he can't find them or remember where they are.

This probably doesn't apply to self incrimination because it's not evidence of a crime, it is property whose ownership is in dispute.
I'm neither, so it serves no use for me, other than for speculative purposes; and that's my entire point.

If the OP wants a metric to use to gauge how "proper" a currency is, that metric should be primarily weighted by 1) how many people need to use it day-to-day, 2) the volume of goods and services transacted it in every day.
So cool that you and notjustanymike worked on this idea. My startup, The Factual, does something similar, grouping related articles across the political spectrum and rating them for credibility in a transparent (if imperfect) manner. We don't use iframes so your clicks open a new page as with most aggregators.

As for a business model we've found that a freemium model with a modest subscription fee is a good way to monetize while making this accessible to a wide audience.

Those promises were continuously repeated and even ballooned even more and more. At some point, they even removed the "RPG" description of the game, in favor of "open world action", which makes it even more ridiculous, because it fails at everything that that entails.
I meant the scheme used to indicate it's part of a multi-part message.

> Holiday sales?

Ding ding ding. Missing christmas would be a huge deal.

That said, I think there's a tendency for conversations around this to ignore the finances and suggest that financial concerns shouldn't have any impact on the game's release. There's no doubt that CDPR got the balance on this wrong, but the need to find a balance is just reality.
I think the big issues for Intel will be avoiding getting into a vicious circle of uncompetitive performance -> lower margins -> less investment in process /fabs -> uncompetitive performance

In part AMD broke out of this by using TSMC, but Intel relying on (not just using) TSMC would be a huge step.
I completely agree -- I've been bitten a few times using React wrappers that turn out to have subtle flaws or are unmaintained. Generally I just write my own wrapper with some clunky combination of hooks to manage the lifecycle of data.

One common pattern I end up using for a lot of imperative calls is a "useAsyncFunction" hook which runs any async function, returns state for loading, error, and the result of that function.

Unfortunately each library handles DOM manipulation, configuration options, callbacks, instantiation, etc. in its own way, and so I don't think there's any generalized solution.
From my personal experience, CSS performance isn't really that much of a concern in the world of modern browsers. Maybe IE11 would hiccup on a particularly large page with 1,000s of DOM nodes, but all of the evergreen browsers are ridiculously performant with CSS. I'm not saying you should write queries like that, but if you must (for readability or technical reasons), it likely won't harm your site's performance.
I assume if you're just interested in learning. (Not trying to be sarcastic or trollish -- I'm looking for stuff that optimizes more for personal enlightenment than a credential, and I accept that both targets are valid to pursue.)

With that said, even for that use case, it feels clickbaity to label it "I got a CS degree" rather than "I learned the content of a CS degree".
> $130k to pay a single employee for one year. I don't know about you, but it's extremely difficult for most people to save up that kind of runway.

I think the idea is that step one isn't hiring a subordinate employee; it's having secure enough finances that you (or you and your co-founders) can work for yourself for a time.

Step two is actually working on the business, and step three is growing is revenues to the point where it can sustain you, four is growing them further to the point where they can support an employee, and five is actually hiring that employee and paying them $130k a year.
On one hand, I totally agree with you: your suggestions would make for a far more mechanically and morally interesting game, and it's a shame that the promise set out during the first two hours of the game doesn't really pan out in the end.

On the other hand, I still have not felt this immersed in a game world and character stories since... well, since maybe The Witcher 3, and before that Planescape: Torment and Terranigma.

Other games have done specific aspects better (e.g. original Deus Ex in terms of level design; Horizon: Zero Dawn in terms of action; RDR2 & GTAV in terms of open-world sandbox; TW3 in terms of sheer story-telling quality.) However, I still find myself role playing my character in a way that I didn't do with any of those games. I have turned off my minimap and most HUDs to increase my immersion. I drive 99% of the time, instead of using the fast-travel system, because driving and listening to the radio is so damn immersive that I want to stay in that world. I actually care about what is happening to the various characters, even if there is little mechanical pay-off for following a particular path. The first-person camera helps create that illusion of being part of that world. There are bugs, yes, but even a t-posing NPC or a floating item is not sufficient to break that immersion.

As far Johnny... my character dislikes him. I oppose him on every turn. However, he still manages to get into my head, and convince me to do things that my character would not have otherwise done. There is no mechanical impact - yet he still changes my/my character's behaviour.

Is this a perfect game? No, far from it, even with all the inevitable bug fixes. However, no other game has created such an immersive experience for me in recent memory, if ever.

For that element alone, I am thankful for not buying into the negativity and giving this a try.

(Playing on Geforce NOW at Ultra/Psycho settings averaging ~40fps. No crashes so far. Input latency is fine - this is an RPG and the combat is on the easy side, so it doesn't really make any difference.)

How my Twitter Hijacks Happened
You mentioned this briefly, but: I think the big problem is the stay-at-home orders combined with massive improvements in technology results in tons more people wanting to upgrade immediately than initially expected (based on previous releases).

It wouldn’t make sense for Nvidia to produce less than the demand on purpose because that results in less money. If we take the view of companies want to maximize profit, it would make sense that they’d try to fulfill demand. Another big problem is scalpers and websites not doing enough to stop it. They create an artificial scarcity so they can make a quick buck. Sure, a PS5 isn’t “essential” like toilet paper is, but it’s still a dick thing to do.
Quantum teleportation is a process that both sender and receiver have to coordinate. Part of that coordination is that the sender measures 2 classical bits of information on their entangled qubit and transmits those two classical bits to the receiver. Then the receiver uses those two bits to perform certain operations on their half of the entangled qubit pair in such a way that their qubit is now exactly the same as sender's original qubit. As you can see, there's no way to use timing in this, other than the timing of the classical bits being transferred.
The advertisers only pay the bills as long as users are using the software. But yes, with a "free" software users probably are quite a bit more tolerant to issues.
No, really. Preview.
Yes, it can open everything (I don't know where I suggested that it is only for PDFs?)

But it doesn't act like other editors. There's no save dialogue when you, for instance, rotate a PDF.
The term 'Preview' in other programs, like when using a scanner or other text editors, is a non destructive type of viewer. Just a viewer. "preview before you make changes"

But preview on OSX changes that.

What? That makes so little sense. Is this chip x86 or something? Because the architecture is a pretty big deal for me when I decide which chip to invest in.
First, they really missed an opportunity to rick roll everyone with this article. (just kidding)

But seriously, this went way over my head. If anyone can explain this to me like I'm 5, that would be awesome, I'm really interested in the subject but lack any real knowledge of the science.
This is a good example of why labor unions are important and necessary. A single nurse can be ignored because of the massive power imbalance between an individual and the management collective of a large organization. Nurses banding together to create their own collective creates a level playing field for negotiations.
