One can perhaps say: "A neural net is a collection of machine learning approaches that are somewhat inspired by the human brain. However, neural nets have little to do with how the brain actually works." I think this statement (or a similar, more accurate version) is actually useful, because the name "neural net" is somewhat deceiving.

Show HN: Simple expression evaluation engine for Golang
The traditional RISC philosophy stemmed from the constraints on chip development that mostly existed from the 80s to the mid 90s. After that ballooning transistor counts and design effort for top line out of order application processors made reducing the number of instructions pretty pointless in that design space, though limiting the number of ways instructions could interact through a load-store architecture and keeping decode simple through fixed length instructions (plus longer jumps) remain relevant useful things to take away from RISC. All the complexities that ARM has let it do more with fewer instructions and a high performance RISC-V core is going to have to do enough instruction fusion that its internal ops will end up being just as complicates as those that ARM uses, but it'll also have the disadvantage of having to do that extra fusion.

But of course if the target isn't a high end application processor but instead a microcontroller, say, RISC-V's simplicity has a lot going for it. Or for a grad student implementing a simple OoO processor in a semester long class. Or back when I was doing my thesis having an open source core to modify would have been a huge advantage. As the article says RISC-V can be a success without replacing ARM, POWER, and x86.
Classifying ISPs as the utility companies they are is the only way to end the gouging and systematic fraud.
Some has a separate, loose solo score, but not all of them. (But I’m mostly talking about carrying scores for practicing and lessons. For performance, the soloist has to memorize the score anyway.)

CERN celebrated the 30th anniversary on 2019-03-12 https://home.cern/events/web30, but I do agree that celebrating the day the first (public) web server went up is a bit more symbolic than the day the proposal was submitted.
> Except that was a disaster because the architecture was too novel.

But it had nothing to do with PowerPC instruction set. Xbox 360's CPU used PowerPC instruction set too, but Microsoft went with much more classical 3-core design instead of single core + 8 SPUs that Sony used.

The only impact PowerPC had on game developers was making them aware of load-hit-store performance hit.
The author accidentally touches on the blind spot of American meritocracy, but speeds on and never looks back:

> There’s nothing fair about the fact that some people are born into good circumstances which confer a tremendous headstart in life. There’s nothing fair about the fact that so many of society’s most accomplished individuals grew up in upper-middle-class families that nurtured them, raised them well, and gave them access to highly regarded schools and teachers.

If you consider “meritocracy” to begin when someone applies for their first job, you might not care about that. But there are two glaring problems:

One, on an individual level, selecting the best at a given point in time ignores less measurable attributes, like “grit”. The candidate from a poor background who went to an okay school at night while working to support their family may be more motivated to improve than someone who coasted by at a good school due to parental connections.

Two, on a societal level, being born into good circumstances in no way correlates with innate abilities. By privileging those who grow up in higher socioeconomic classes, we are leaving behind individuals who have undiscovered latent talents that might otherwise make large societal contributions.

Without fixing those two things, it’s extraordinarily unlikely that meritocracy will produce “peak performance”.
Research shows that most people would rather give themselves an electric shock than sit in a room alone with their thoughts for 10 to 20 minutes.

Unfortunately the rich have been amazingly effective at capturing all the productivity gains since the 1970s.

Meritocracy also means allowing those with the means to entrench their position for many decades.
Apple is wealthy and powerful, and gets the cream of the crop - i.e. the first batch of the new 5nm output. This isn't new, apple always releases their models a few months before equivalent snapdragons come out. This is a meaningful advantage, to be sure, but if you're trying to figure out how much apple's perf win is due to their great chips and not merely a generational gap, it's misleading. Comparing the s10 today, which is clearly on a inferior process to the iphone 12 pro today isn't useful from this perspective. It's better to compare the upcoming 5nm 888 to apples A14.

And here, the numbers just don't back up the claim that apple is running rings around qualcomm in terms of performance. Not just that; the difference between apple+qualcomm chips hasn't changed all that dramatically over the years; if anything it's gotten smaller.

Yes, if you look at power at equivalent performance that looks better for apple, but then that's always the case because nobody runs client side CPUs at an optimal perf/watt power, but faster. It's also not really how people use their phones, is it? People don't turn off the high-power cores in iphones; they use em as designed, i.e. at approximately equivalent power, just faster.

The point here isn't that Apple's win doesn't exist; simply that it's not the mythological night-day difference it's sometimes painted to be. Furthermore, because apple consistently releases earlier on a new process node, at the moment of their release the perf numbers look better than they are on average over the products lifetime; in effect, you're seeing the combination of both Apple's good CPUs, and a 1 generation gap. Then there's the fact that Apple's CPU's are so fast due not solely to the skill of their silicon division, but also their willingness to spend for more transistors. We don't have numbers for the 888 yet, but it's very likely going to be a lower-cost design if history is any guide (and the anandtech article goes into some other non-obvious ways in which is saves costs too, like power planes, that I bet apple is willing to go the extra mile on).

All that matters, because you're trying to predict how other CPUs will perform, and thus need to tease out the impact of stuff like process node, and apples willingness to spend extra on larger caches, and x86 vs ARM - and just ascribing all that perf uplift to apples magic pixie dust won't help you make predictions regarding the rest of the CPU market in the future.

Windows 10 has been the most reliable, productive, stable system for me over the past few years. No doubt they use a lot of automated testing -- how could they not? But today's Windows 10 is -very- reliable.
For those opposed to meritocracies as described by the author: what alternatives are you suggesting? Should the top performers not be the ones who get the lions share of the spoils?
I don't think you quite appreciate how clever RISC-V has been designed. RISC-V is very well designed to be used with both complex and simple micro-architectures. By combining instruction compression and macro and micro-fusion you get everything you claim only x86 and ARM can do an more. Here is a proper explanation of how:

Sites like OnlyFans have nothing to do with you or relationships in general. The vast majority of people don't go on those types of sites.

I assure you, the thing that is stopping you from being in a relationship isn't Only fans. I'd recommend trying to find ways to build up yourself confidence.
Reading about sums like 100k per month makes it sound like a real job to me... Note that I'm only talking about that subset of girls on Onlyfans who make relevant sums of income, not the large number who doesn't.

Ultimately everyone sells some part of themselves.
It's also very similar to a quote from The Office (Robert California)
>LTSC isn't really meant as an enterprise desktop version. It's meant for industrial systems, the ones you don't expect to touch for years because they're controlling some vital factory process.

But why? Is it for the bleeding edge features? I looked at the previous feature updates and everything there looks incidental, nothing that would warrant an upgrade.

Tesla is TINY.

EDIT Besides, the point is not the whole of AWS of GCS; it's the about availability zones vs singular datacentres. Distributed computing doesn't really like to throw data even within the same AZ - in-DC will always be faster.
AZ and the modern idea of distribution suit certain things - streaming, for example, benefits from it, but not everything.
> occasionally flirting with a fellow resident.

Most of them do. Unfortunately, we also had some men in late-stage dementia who were pretty obvious about their sexual interests. Needless to say, this often caused problems with female residents. This is an incredibly different topic to bring up with relatives: we once had to tell the wife of a resident that her husband was happily grabbing breasts all day. Whenever something like this was brought to the attention of relatives, it was usual denial at first, and then accusations that the staff was responsible.

That being said, the neighboring nursing home (for old people without dementia) had an incredibly sweet case where a male and female resident, both over a 100 years old and widowed for decades, slowly started a relationship. By the time I was leaving, they were holding hands all day , going for short walks and he was constantly making her gifts of all kinds. They were like teenagers, completely in love.

Not really? I can't think of the last time a prominent newspaper named & shamed a random working man for spending money on porn, whereas that happened with the NY Post and a paramedic with an onlyfans just last week. Your view of reality is wildly distorted.
It’s okay to be indifferent, perhaps it’s natural for humans to be ruthless. If your friend is so self-absorbed as not to notice he is about to step into poop, then he will step in poop, just not while you’re around to smell it.

Buddhists are the most indifferent yet compassionate people I know because compassion requires impeccable mental silence at all times, and after so many years you realize it really doesn’t matter if your friend knows he’s about to step in poop or not. All that matters is that he learns his lesson, that he was too important to not notice the poop himself, and that’s not something you can tell him, he has to learn that lesson himself.
The person you're responding to has an agenda (perhaps is even a paid astroturfer), and his story is not based in reality. My Windows 10 systems are rock-solid. I switched from all Macs years ago and never looked back.

How Will Future Cars Interact With Humans?
I see this idea often, and it feels somewhat shortsighted for me. Company outcomes are primarily determined by product-market fit, yes, and: the tighter your feature release feedback loop, the more product-market-fit experiments you can run before you’re out of runway.

Many technology and process choices are just style and preference, absolutely. Others have a material impact on the effort and time to ship a feature. (I’ll leave examples as an exercise to the reader; I imagine any example I used could turn into discussion of “ah you’re doing $FOO wrong.” I suspect this tendency entangles with why these choices seemingly frequently impact business outcomes, from my perspective.)

When did I say any of that? Those are all real jobs. Besides, I was replying to the GP's claim that Onlyfans is the "empowering alternative" to the traditional path of getting a husband with a well-paying job. There exists a third option.
Which is why I assume this was the far more open Chinese border.
You forgot one kind of generosity called « Actual experience »: The « I have been decently generous most of my life(1), and yet, when I had a need, no-one wanted to care much (you know, who cares about a white male, we want fewer of them in our company) so now I default to buying pure mercure on Alibaba and throwing it into the lake » kind of generosity.

If all of those speeches about generosity and inclusivity were remotely honest, I wouldn’t have to fight people who claim equality is giving an interesting job only to women. Also, no need to propose one now, I’m fat and suicidal and down a dozen social steps.

We do and it's called the mac mini. The actual circuit board looks to be about 2x the size of the pi. Their only reason for the massive mini case is economies of scale. They have to leave that case around for the intel mini for another year or two and all the tooling exists, so they didn't have any costs there either.

I think the real next-gen mini should have been the iPhone 12 pro. Imagine a desk with just an Apple monitor, charger, and wireless keyboard. Pop your mag-safe phone onto the charger so you have a trackpad. The mm-wave connects to the monitor for video and giving access to it's USB-c ports. You get the normal mac desktop ready to start working for the day. It's not as powerful as most desktops, but it can give tons of plugged-in laptops a run for their money. More than good enough for 95% of users.

Just checked and I could see some Ryzen 5000 available on Amazon (not the 5900X though).

Honestly I expect the price and availability to suck big time for both. AMD can't manufacture half the volume they should to satisfy demand, while Apple is a poster child of $900 laptops costing €1000 when they finally cross the Atlantic long after release.

"Available at an Apple store" might be the biggest joke one could possibly say. There's only a handful of store worldwide.

> Nudity may be less stigmatized than in America, but prostitution is not something normal people as just another job that they'd be happy if their daughter chose it. On the surface, people may seem more tolerant of it, but privately they definitely act differently.

When I was in my last year of apprenticeship in Switzerland I managed one the estates of the owner's homes for most of the year while they worked in Bern, which included the investment homes they had in Zurich and in Lussane. It was where generational wealthy people parked their money, guess who our neighbors were? High class Swiss escorts, I know this because I met them and asked to keep an eye on things while I was away and gave them vegetables from our farm in exchange as a good gesture of will.

I lived in S. Germany in what was once Ag land but had been urbanized for wealthy 'Green minded' Germans, where prostitution is once again legal. I got chatted up on the train a few times only to find out (by my then German-Anglo fiance) it was a meet and greet tactic they use to get them into the brothels and is apparently common to use on foreigners and university students. They were all German not one was Eastern European, which to be honest is what I'm more physically attracted to than most Western Europeans.

I can go on here about working Summers in Croatia, and Italy that included catering to nude sunbathing crowds in camp sites and resorts which are frequented mainly by other Western Europeans, but suffice it to say: I was born and raised in CA, but I've lived and worked in Europe long enough to stand by my claims and spent my Summers as a child in the coast of Spain as I'm half S. European myself. Where the local 'puti-club' is just another thing people joke about since its so common.

> Why do we see so few Dutch and Swedish and Danish emancipated free empowered women self-actualize through porn work?

First, as I outlined already and my first hand experiences: I don't think sex work is empowering at all and often has more to do with poverty and dire economic circumstances then the tired narrative of it being so that's shoved down our collective throats by this neo-femisnist narrative. Which is why you see the higher frequency of E. European women you mentioned in those situations instead of a women from wealthy Nordic country with good social nets and social mobility.
Discord is great for building community, but the chat format isn't really great for general advice/Q&A. 80-90% of people will have some relatively basic question that should have one canonical answer. And the experts will quickly grow tired of answering the same question since chat interface isn't easily discoverable. This will lead to experts slowly abandoning the community.

I haven't been on the Rust server but I'd guess that one reason it's useful is because your typical Rust developer already knows how to code and isn't a complete newbie. So you end up having conversation between seasoned developers who know how to read docs and can figure out basic syntax on their own.
