That's funny because as an astronomer the title is both very exciting and completely fair. We've known about long-wavelength radio emission from Jupiter for ages. Astronomers have been looking for the same thing in exoplanet systems probably since shortly after their discovery! But because they are so far away, the emission is faint and hard to detect. This is also very long wavelength radio (in the tens of megahertz) which is a difficult portion of the spectrum to work in.

I suppose it is less spectacular if one makes the immediate connection "radio <-> techno-signature", but that's unwarranted and not a fault of the press release or the author, in my opinion. Jupiter's auroral emissions are mainly caused by volcano's on Io, so it's not unrealistic to think we can learn a lot about planetary mass objects (the moons) from observations like these.

> Consolidation is a decent goal, but it really needs to be measured. For me, it is FAR more important to consolidate on the how to do things and not the what does things. In otherwords, rather than making an "elasticsearch connection library" specify "This environment variable is the elasticsearch host/credentials" and let the apps move from there.

I think we're in agreement here. Config is the most basic kind of knowledge because when something wants to know about the elastic credentials,it almost never makes sense to have it in two places if those two places are supposed to be the same thing.

How to actually connect to elastic -- that's the part that is more iffy. If there is some knowledge we've added there, then it makes sense to DRY it up, but the knowledge of "this is how you pass credentials to this elastic search client" isn't the kind of system knowledge we care about. If, for example, there were some kind of parameters that we had to set on each connection and we claimed it as a piece of knowledge that all of our connections to this service are of this specific TYPE and have these specific parameters, then we've started to add some additional systemic knowledge that might need to get consolidated.If someone were to start working on a piece of code and I feel the need to tell them "Don't forget about X" then that is the kind of situation where DRY comes into play. If it's just a vanilla connection to a database and we don't care about the connections made, then I do given't think we have a violation of DRY given that there isn't an important piece of knowledge that's repeated.

At some point, especially when we pay too much attention to copy-pasted code, we end up abstracting. Abstracting is hard, more general, very difficult to do right, almost always done to early. DRYing out knowledge is easier and almost always improves things.
wxRust needs to be resurrected. wxWidgets is a wrapper around native controls.
People here argue whether it's a terrible game or not. I think such a division is a sign there's something seriously wrong with a game. I don't remember anything like that when RDR2 came out. Fallout 76 or No Mans Sky on the other hand...
This is one of the hardest things to explain to people.

Here is a thought experiment. Lets assume that the minimum required to live in a given place is $20K.

So now you have two people, one makes $30K, the other makes $40K. How much more does the second one make compared to the first? Twice as much. At $30K, you have $10K disposable. At $40K, you have $20K disposable. And someone making $60K is making four times the disposable compared to $30K.

Once you get above cost of living, everything gets easier.

Hey there (co-founder of Compound here). You’re correct—timing of the payout is critical. We try to show that in the left-hand-side (today, 3, years, at IPO) but there’s more nuance to provide (e.g., are you applying AMT credits to your net outcome, is QSBS accounted for, etc.?). The example also includes that exercise and sale occur in separate years and that that sale is being realized as a long-term capital gain. The net tax liability we’re showing is the sum of taxes owed at exercised (AMT, which is often a credit) and taxes owed at sale (LTCG). We’re adding more specificity to this and future essays (as there are infinite permutations we can make).

To be fair, Red Dead has it's fair share of bugs as well, especially on release. I agree with you in that I don't think I've ever played a large open world game that didn't have a lot of bugs and I'm not an overly observant gamer. Skyrim was the same way. It's just none of them ruin the experience in a way that Cyberpunk for consoles has. I've been playing it on PC and love it but can understand why people are upset regarding the experience on consoles.
I'm loving the game, running on PC. Even with the glichtes I find it awesome. And I'll definitely play it again, after the patches.

The paper/presentation you link to is comparing 32-bit ARM with Thumb and RISC-V. This is mostly relevant to embedded processors, and my understanding is ARM and RISC-V is somewhat equal there.

But for 64-bit, ARM has dropped support for Thumb, while RISC-V still supports compressed instructions. In that case, RISC-V is more dense than ARM. I can't find the numbers for that right now, but I read it just yesterday so I'm pretty sure I remember correctly.

Also keep in mind that Thumb is a mode that the ARM CPU has to switch to, while RISC-V compressed instructions can be mixed with normal instructions.
I suppose... but often the top comment is wrong or mis-leading in some way: "the middle-brow dismissal" HN is famous for. I usually find the most enlightening commentary on HN a few replies down from the top comment where a true expert chimes in to show why the middle-brow dismissal is in fact incorrect and adds their own nuance to the conversation.
What I would probably do is look at MIT's degree requirements for their 6-2 or 6-3 degree (BS for EE and CS--with apparently different emphasis on the EE or the CS). And then look at OpenCourseware for the syllabi. Of course you can look at other schools as well--though I don't know of other resources as comprehensive as OpenCourseware. That should give you a fairly good idea of at least what MIT requires that you may not be familiar with.

MIT is probably also a good start if you an EE given that the degrees are in the same school vs. places where CS is closer to the Math department.
I recently asked an interviewer (on the 4th and final stage of their ~~gatekeeping~~ interview process during my very last interview when I got to the final boss of this dumb ass game -- the Senior Staff Software Engineer of the team I was interviewing with) if they "did" crunch. His face contorted a bit, it was obvious that I had hit on something. He said yes, frequently, in fact, and that they are "very busy" and "have crunch periods" typically in Q1 and Q4 of _each year_.

I asked him if there were planning process improvements that could be made to reduce the necessity of crunch periods. He sighed at me, turned his head to look out the window next to him, and then gave me a few sentences of tangentially related anecdotes about their planning process and why it's "hard" "because of customers."

It was already clear to me that I didn't want the job if they made me an offer at this point. Thankfully they saved me from having to say so. The recruiter called me a week later to say, "We've decided to move forward with other candidates who we feel are a better match for this particular position."

All I can think to myself at this point is, "I'm too old for this shit."

From the comments:

> Each Neoverse N1 core with 1MB L2 is just 1.4mm^2, so 80 of them add up to 112mm^2. The die size is estimated at about 350mm^2, so tiny compared to the total ~1100mm^2 in EPYC 7742.

So performance/area is >3x that of EPYC. Now that is efficiency!
Supposing we get enough qubits to support teleporting you, we can regularly entangle qubits and ship them around the world, then when you want to travel, we can teleport you, and the trip time will be how long it takes to send the message.

It's a common mistake to think that quantum teleportation is a new way of sending information. It's really a way to use classical communication in order to leverage entanglement to bypass various limitations of quantum mechanics.

When I became a dad I tried to put myself into my child's brain and imagine what sort of dad they might want when we were in public — say having a continental breakfast in a hotel.

Further, when you see the older person in the fashion of someone 3 decades their junior ... at some point I think we decide we don't want to be that person.
It's a bit ironic that they owned StrongARM which of course became XScale and was sold the year before the iPhone appeared! I think some of the StrongARM team founded PASemi and others may have ended up working for Arm in Texas.
I suppose the transparency and the basic uniformity is what really separates chess from other mental activities. That is to say, there is no hidden information or any advantage that isn’t equally available to everyone. there are not too many activities that operate on that same sort of classless, egalitarian level, and so I can understand why the author is so passionate about it as a tool for learning the skills of concentration. With that in mind, I am terrible at it, and go makes me look like a drooling idiot... I can’t even understand when a game is over even though I try to practice every day.

In my understanding, a defect in the RNA that affected the protein would necessarily result in a different amino acid sequence. So for prions to form, they would have to be misfolded initially due to chance / environment or re-arranged afterwards through some process. The best known protein to form prions (PrP, Prion Protein) is known to convert from the well-folded form to a misfolded form upon interacting with the misfolded form, which could indicate that spontaneous formation of prions is due to interaction with something after the initial folding. I think this could also just be an indication that PrP just has lots of very close low-energy states, which would mean a higher chance of misfolding initially.

If you look at the historical benchmarks of the non-apple ARM chips, though they're clearly behind apple, they have largely kept pace. Huawei was perhaps even closing the gap before the trade war knocked them out of contention.

I don't think apple was really all that special in this regard. They were ahead of the curve, which is impressive, but the market was created by arm, not just apple. I doubt we'd be seeing this kind of resurgence had others - especially google - not also jumped on the ARM bandwagon. A rising tide lifts all boats; both android and ios likely benefited from each others shared usage of arm because it helped the whole ecosystem.

For some sense of scale: qualcomm's latest chip just released some benchmark numbers, and while they're not all that impressive (https://www.anandtech.com/show/16325/qualcomm-discloses-snap...) it's still good to put "not that impressive" in perspective: they're comparable to i7-6700k in single-threaded workloads, and to an i7-4770k in multi-threaded workloads. The oldest iPhone that runs the same geekbench version I can find is the iPhone 5s, which is a little more than 4x slower in the single-threaded benchmark, and 8x in the multi-threaded. Yet that chip was no slouch!

Obviously, apple's impressive pole position completely hogs the spotlight, but it's worth remembering that the competition isn't actually all that bad. That level of performance would make for an extremely fast chromebook - were it not for the fact that most are cheap cheap cheap and will never use a high-end chip.

Development across the board has been so fast, that if you remember slow ARM chromebooks, I think you attribute that slowness to 2 things other than apple vs everybody else: firstly, they were built to a bargin-basement price, and thus you weren't getting anything near this performance not because it wasn't apple, but simply because they didn't use the right chips in the first place, and secondly, it's been a while, and when things improve that quickly, then a slightly outdated model can easily appear terrible without that being a condemnation of the whole approach.
> AMP is fast because it's incompatible with 99% of the bullshit client cpu heavy tracking and ad libraries, so they don't get included inside AMP pages.

That is wrong. AMP is fast because it prerenders. Everything included in AMP is designed to enable safe prerendering. That is the entire point of AMP markup.

What do you suggest americans do? Democracy doesn't work because several powerful groups lobby to keep civil forfeiture. There's no way they can resist this. Their government can label any citizen a threat to national security and strip them of whatever rights they still have. Their dragnet surveillance allows them to monitor and stop any organized opposition. Attempting revolution is unwise since that'd probably result in the "terrorists" getting curbstomped by the US military forces.

> This was not a good "training pandemic".

Was it not though? I assume you'd want a pandemic deadly enough for that convinces a majority of the populace that it's a serious event (to encourage downstream change to better prepare for a worse pandemic), while at the same time not causing people to drop like flies. As you stated, anything less severe would be taken less seriously. To have something to be taken more serious, it has to be more deadly.

Despite the denialism we currently have, it seems to have made the world recognize the importance of preparation.

Try Backgammon. The game is full of strategy but you play with “the chaos of the dice”.
Exactly. Chess and (less so) GO are all about reading. If you study, you can learn all the tactics. The problem is never missing a single piece and its relevance across the whole game. That is something computers don't fail at, they never misread. I've wondered if Lee Sedol could beat AlphaZero if he was given AZ's top 50 potential moves on each of his turns.
On face value, it sounds less risky than the standard vaccine development route, which may involve introducing immortalized (i.e. cancerous) cells or artificially stimulating an immune response with known toxins (adjuvants).

I still have questions about the mRNA vaccine concept. Maybe some well-informed HNer can shed light?

1. If the goal is to get the desired protein inside the patient's body, why is injecting mRNA that produces the protein more effective than simply introducing the protein itself?

2. How does the patient's immune system know to treat this protein as unwanted if it's being produced by the body's own cells?

3. How do vaccine developers avoid creating an over-active immune response in the patient (i.e. an allergy)?
