And this is just idle speculation and I (and I guess Animats) don't necessarily buy. I think RISC-V is doing fine and will grow regardless.

Where more Arm mainstream success will have a slipstream effect on RISC-V is in app porting. There are significant differences between x86 and Arm, notably memory model (AS does support TSO with a flag, but native apps use the weak mode). Porting from x86 to Arm can be non-trivial, whereas porting from Arm to RISC-V is far easier.
If you need citation for that you clearly don't use jira.

Suffering from success
cattle are tagged and I had lots of ideas about smart-agriculture and way to make the farmers (the "halters") job easier. mentioning these technologies to the people up there is not a good idea. it's not about making things easier for them or being "more productive", "carving out more time for other things", ... the chore is the point. it's part of this way of living. and once I spent some time with them I also agreed with them.

if you bought the scythe it in Styria it would probably be a "Schroeckenfux"[1] ... nice gear!! It's also the best way to tend after the grass. You can also reach everywhere :)

Styria was probably the best part in all the hiking. It has the densest and oldest forest in Austria and it is a little tiny bit more out of the way for tourism to reach it except Vienna. I spent nearly a 3 weeks there and did some extra tours criss-cross around the region because of how beautiful is there.

Sadly never been to Tasmania. I did the backpacking thing back in the early 90ies, where coming from Indonesia I visited Perth, bought a car and then drove around the continent for a year. Best time of my life and only fond memories of Australians and how they welcoming they were. It was mind blowing to see such a culture difference for a stiff European and be warmly greeted even in the supermarket with "have a great day".

Best memory of Australia (many good ones) was when I had a boat drop us off at one of the uninhabited Whitsunday islands just with enough water (and not enough food) and we camped near the beach. Monitor lizards eating our food (so after day 3 we hunted and ate them because fish wouldn't bite). We also tried to eat the lime color ants which we heard the Aboriginals would eat. (you won't get full from them) Totally nuts lol.

Not just cosmetic stuff. Things like knee replacements that serve a real medical purpose are still considered "elective".
That's on the government not to do idiotic things. True, they often do, but acting as if everything they do may be one is a pretty big fallacy. Soon you'll end up jaywalking because you're sure you know better.
Dram, Flash, CPUs, GPUs and most other high-margin chips made by established manufacturers(Intel, Micron, Samsung, TI, NXP, etc.) are tested to some degree at the fab before packaging. It's very common in the semiconductor industry.

That doesn't mean parts with some defects don't sneak into the final products but the rate is low enough that testing each chip you receive is not monetary feasible for consumer products so you just test the final assembled product to a degree, but even then, brand new Apple products are no strangers to having their mainboards replaced for a defective chip in the warranty period. Just ask Luis Rossmann or people working at the genius bar. That's why everyone recommends you get Apple care.

So the theory that Apple thoroughly tests each chip that goes in their products is false. It would be too expensive and eat into their fat margins.

What you do test, is samples from each batch you receive, to make sure your supplier did not pull a bait and switch and replaced your contracted parts with lower quality ones under the same part number and hope you would not notice but this is more common on low margin parts and Chinese suppliers are notorious for this since for them it's just regular business practice and see nothing wrong with it.

I have been playing on the PS4 Pro (approx. 10 hours) and so far my experience has been good. Yes, there were one or two glitches - a character walking into the elevator through closed doors, one or two disappearing cars - which can break immersion, I get it, but I have seen such things in a lot of other games at launch. I wonder as a developer myself, why aren't these obvious things not fixed by the studios? Is it so that they are just at the bottom of the "todo" pile? There is a LOT in the game just from the point of view of skills, perks, cybermods and whatnot. And the second patch (another ~18GB one) just arrived last night for the EU region. I hope this will be a great game in a few months and attract new players. I did read some articles about "lack of depth" and "wonky AI" and the way these pieces were written did make me feel uncomfortable - I'll see how I feel myself before judging the game too harshly.
That is so bizarre for me to read this:

Isn’t that exactly the use case the article is talking about?
I'm in the midst of an event driven microservice project. On our first try, we've created a distributed monolith.
That's why we decided to rewrite it in a more DDD driven way.
I've started reading the blue book, the red book and Scott Millett's "Patterns and Principles of DDD".
But the most helpful book I've found so far was "Domain-Driven Design in PHP", which I find a lot easier to grasp thanks to its hands on approach.

That said, as a Go/Javascript person I really appreciate another book on the topic. I appreciate the effort and I am going to buy it.
I never had crashes of Linux on the last 5 years, except 2 or 3 because I was using all the whole RAM and the system freezed.

> Food, clothes, furniture, electronic devices, all of these could be produced with close to zero human labor. Why don't we?

For a large subsets of those categories, they already are. That's why, if you mostly buy food that's handled by automation (combines etc.) you can sustain yourself on a $50/month food budget. Similarly for furniture, check out IKEA factory videos to see the degree of automation employed in making cheap furniture.
Electronics are mostly also produced by machines, humans do the last stage assembly only (and it's mostly because labor in Asia is just cheaper than sophisticated robots required to perform assembly).

Clothes are more difficult from a robotics standpoint (mostly because, unlike wood, cloth is not rigid/does not retain shape, which makes it insanely tricky to manipulate), so we're not there yet. But, on the other hand, making of the cloth itself, which previously required an insane amount of labor, has been fully automated for a long time.

Basically, once you own a place to live in, you can easily sustain yourself with a very part-time minimum wage job. Make the job pay more and you'd need to work maybe a month in year. Most people don't do that because they want the comforts and pleasures brought by market enough to work extra hours for them (usually up to a full-time job).
The issue here is that the code was added at build time. Do you do code-reviews after decompiling build output? If you’re a sane person, probably not - so you’d fall for this too.

An automated tool might have more of a chance, but again it’s kinda hard to have one that runs on binaries. If it runs after build, it’s typically some input/output checker, which would not detect code like this.

It’s a hard problem and I think it has just demonstrated that the security of build-related infrastructure should be taken more seriously than it currently is.
It's a good idea to work on the e-book first, iterate and fix most of the issues. However, a printed version would be great (for example, I'm unable to focus while reading on the computer). +1 for the printed version!
I'm surprised by people saying they haven't had issues. Have they just not noticed the issues? Like characters in completely static, motionless poses? Every little while there will be an NPC stuck motionless somewhere, or sliding along the ground as if they are a, well, non-animated 3d model. UI elements appear when they shouldn't, and a prompt to "[C] Skip to next" is almost always showing at the bottom right of my screen, during pretty much all gameplay. Further, I've had repeated crashes of the game which actually crashed the GPU driver (NVIDIA) and required me unplugging and re-plugging my HDMI cable so the GPU would reset and work again (most people seem to just reboot their computer altogether in this case due to not knowing the unplug/replug workaround).

Outside of straight-up bugs, the performance is utterly atrocious even on "Low" settings, and my PC exceeds the recommended specs by quite a decent margin.

At the same time, CDPR's prior games have received a ton of post-launch support so I can only hope Cyberpunk 2077 will receive a good amount of improvements in the new year. Fingers crossed!
I've had pretty much the same experience as you. Honestly, linux runs faster uses less resources and is infinitely customizable. If anyone's work allows them to make the switch (eg. No hard dependencies on windows) then consider doing it, it is absolutely worth it.
RISC-V has a tiny basic instruction-set consisting of very simple instructions. That makes it possible to implement a RISC-V core on a very small silicon die. Smaller simpler cores make it easier to increase clock frequency as well as reduce watt usage. That gives RISC-V an advantage over the competition such as ARM, where any implementation will require a much larger and complex core to handle all the ARM instructions you must implement to be a valid ARM CPU.
I agree. HN is net positive for me over the many years I’ve been around. But if you want to cut social media, you probably should include HN ;)
An example of this is how lambda millisecond resolution has given me a clear reason to push for code optimization as costs savings initiative.

Previously it was harder to budget for that kind of work, but now there is a clear target and roi.

I think most of the people in this thread don't really see the actual savings these services provide.

I hired 5 new devs last year off of what I saved by moving to lambda from eks / ec2.
Are we working more than ever?
For those looking for a TLDR, here's the part of the article explaining the actual trades. You'll need to know what WTI is (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/wti.asp) and Trade-at-Settlement is (PDF https://www.theice.com/publicdocs/futures_us/TAS_FAQ.pdf).

> Here’s how it works: Imagine a trader sees that WTI is at $10 and predicts it’s going to end the day at $5. To capitalize, he buys 50,000 barrels in the TAS market, agreeing to purchase oil at wherever the price ends up by 2:30 p.m. At the same time, he starts selling regular WTI futures: 10,000 barrels for $10 and then, if the market is falling as predicted, 10,000 more at $9, and again at $8. As the settlement window approaches, the trader accelerates his selling, offloading a further 10,000 contracts at $7, then another chunk at $6, helping push the price lower until, sure enough, it settles at $5. By now he is “flat,” meaning he’s sold as many barrels as he’s bought and isn’t obliged to take delivery of any actual oil.

> The trader’s bet has come off. His profit is $150,000, the difference between what he sold oil for (50,000 barrels at prices ranging from $10 to $6, for a total of $400,000) and what he bought it for in TAS contracts (50,000 barrels at $5 a barrel, or $250,000). All of this is perfectly legal, providing the trader doesn’t deliberately try to push the closing price down to an artificial level to maximize his profits, which constitutes market manipulation under U.S. law. Manipulation can result in civil penalties such as fines or bans, or even criminal charges carrying a potential prison sentence of up to 10 years. It’s also illegal in the U.S. to place trades during or before the settlement with “intentional or reckless disregard” for the impact.

What surprises me is that this can be considered illegal due to “intentional or reckless disregard”, which seems like an extremely subjective thing to evaluate. Are our regulations really written in this manner?

I'm also unclear on if such trades SHOULD be considered wrong. Take this quote from the article concerning another organization that was investigated for illegal market manipulation:

> Email and phone records showed Optiver’s traders talking about trying to “hammer” and “bully” the settlement after accumulating TAS. Such clear-cut evidence of intent is rare.

Why is "intent" important? Isn't it rational to try to "win" in a psychological game of price-prediction/setting where all the participants are adversaries, in a way? Isn't every consideration of a potential trade an act of "market manipulation" to some extent? What makes it problematic - is it collusion?
Hyperbole, yes, but don't find it to be trolling.

One of the main claims of some meditative traditions is that with enough practice you get to experience the workings of the mind. Once you get to experience them directly, you can see that they're projections and you can see through them.
Some time ago I also had the idea of procedurally generated games, not only of chess, but using basically all the known rule sets and pieces of all known games.

I captured a lot of game details and have them stored away, but I had to move onto something else shortly after, so I never explored it further.

>> My advice would be that if you're consistently getting negative feedback about personality traits from others, take it seriously.

This is bland and simple advice at best, that only serves the 'groups' best interest, not the individual.

Half the people you meet are below average intelligence, I'd strongly advise not listening to at least half of what people have to say. The other half could also be giving self-serving advice that isn't in your best interest.

My advice is to ignore everyone.
It would be a miracle to buy 1650 Super for 150 bucks where I live. They rose twice in price aleast. It would be more like 250-300$ for that card.
I agree with your second paragraph, mostly. It's a big mess of causes and effects--some going in one direction and some going in the other. To assume that they "average" requires that they be quantifiable and in the same dimension--which might not be the case.

As for your first paragraph, I don't think you can reasonably treat causation like an everywhere-binary like that. Not for arbitrary choices of X and Y.

Take "hunger" and "war" for instance. There are many causal arrows pointing from war to hunger, and several pointing the other way too. You have to zoom in to specific details before the language of causation starts being useful. "good for your health" and "being kind to others" are similarly aggregate concepts.

Causation is a myth, and a damn good one. We use it to reason about nearly everything. But the tendency to use it to reason about actually everything is a dangerous one.

Most of the time you can't "hold everything else constant". We usually have to settle for frobbing X back and forth many times and letting its continued correlation with Y convince us that there is indeed causal wiring between the two. At the end of most experiments is an inductive leap of faith that is justified by the high frob cout.

But sometimes X doesn't go back and forth. Sometimes it's a one-way deal and you only have one of them. Like maybe X is "finding carbon trapped in the earth's crust and releasing it into the atmosphere", and Y is "a global change in climate that poses an extinction risk to humans." In cases like that, we don't have the luxury of waiting for enough induction to bring about the leap of faith.

The situation with kindness and heath is similar. Ideally we'd take whatever wisdom we can from the correlative data that was presented and run with it--maybe there's a cause in there and it would make us healthier, maybe not. Instead we have this artificially high bar for argumentative strength, and when an argument fails to meet it we throw the baby out with the bathwater.
I believe this is the only consumer 5nm chip currently available as well. Ryzen gen 3 is still on 7nm. I'd be interested to see how well general purpose compute on the m1 vs ryzen gen 3 mobile will be.
I wouldn't recommend that book if the only reason you learn JavaScript is to be able to follow along this book (DDD, CQRS...).

"You don't know JS" is a great book, and it's essential for someone who actually writes and works with JS all day. You'll pass most JS questions if you interview for a new job. At the same time, in my opinion, it's just a book full of gotchas that shouldn't even be present in good codebases (because most developers don't know JS :)).
I just spent all week on an 8gb mini with slack and about 50 JIRA tabs open. Works fine.
There's a (very expensive) restaurant run by Heston Blumenthal in London that recreates historic British dishes, and gives the dates with each: https://dinnerbyheston.co.uk/menus It's a nice conceit, and I took my wife there for a big birthday, but unfortunately we were slightly disappointed, apart from the wines and a "14th Century" goats-milk cheesecake, which was out of this world. It's not that the food was bad, but it didn't quite live up to the prices in our view.
Before the dawn of the DLC/ patching, a release like this wouldn’t even be possible no matter how hyped it was. Games would be delayed, but releasing a broken mess would be a cardinal sin since nothing could patch it once it was on disc.

I truly feel bad for you. At the same time I look at my own kids and find that the “want” is often temporary but the result is permanent. Of course they want a puppy but are very unlikely to be able to take care of it properly for 15 years. And the “want” is very much real, they firmly believe it to be their utmost desire. So how do I, as a parent, tell the difference between something they can and cannot take responsibility for, they can or cannot learn to live without?
I've no idea about Rust, but in Python land you might want to check out Graph Tool and similar tools. As you note, layout of large graphs is not trivial.
I have to say that my recommendations on JavaScript education resources might be pretty outdated. The book that helped me a lot with the JavaScript language (in 2010) was https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2998152-javascript. However, this was before the ECMAScript standard and the Web APIs developed as fast as they are doing today. Node.js I learned exclusively from reading the documentation and experimenting with it.

Similar to what zeroc8 said, I heard that people liked "You don't know JS". Also, I agree with joshxyz that you can learn a lot from the MDN and the Node.js API docs. Especially MDN is a great resource for learning specific concept. As example, look at their Promises tutorial: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... Furthermore, I also think the publications from Axel Rauschmayer are worth checking out (exploringjs.com).

The section in the Preface of my book might sound a bit daunting. Even if you don't know JavaScript, but have experience with at least one other programming language, that might be fine. I think the most challenging aspect is the asynchronous programming part, which is being used extensively due to Node.js.
That directories reappear empty thingie was an sync engine issue, I believe. It was fixed in latest sync engine update (though this issue was never mentioned, it stopped happening).

Regarding the parent poster, on Windows Smart Sync is enabled and, while extremely useful (and better that Onedrive’s equivalent IMO), it did cause issues in the past. Since it seems to work as a file filter, it can cause some issues.
That being said, I haven’t seen those in a while.

I implement RISC-V for a living and for fun. Arm64 is a very good modern ISA. RISC-V is good too. Comparison with RISC-V must account for the much broader purpose of RISC-V, but just to focus on a few points (I'm not an Arm64 expert though):

* RISC-V (RV64GC) have simpler instructions than Arm64. It's possible it would have a slight frequency advantage given the same implementation resources, but Arm64 might need slight fewer instructions. Notably, Arm64 have more addressing modes. Fusion and cracking makes this mostly a wash, but implementing a RV64 cores is a lot easier than an Arm64 (I speculate).

* Arm64 has load pairs and store pairs; this is a significant advantage.

* RISC-V has no flags and conditional branches directly compares operands. This look like a significant advantage in the code I have looked at and is easier to implement (no flag renaming etc.)
