It wasn't meant as a pejorative. Just as Linux dominates the datacentre, RISC-V will carve out a slice of it's own, I just don't think we'll be playing Cyberpunk 3089 on our RISC-V gaming machines.

Personally, I don't particularly care whether my computer runs RISC-V or not (for the reason above, it's only open source at the edges) - I'm more concerned with the openness of the rest of the machine
12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson
I also found her Introduction and Translator's note very good. She acknowledges her goal was not the most direct word for word accuracy but from what I remember more the general feel to how things would have been interpreted by the audience at the time. After all, these were oral works enjoyed by not just "intellectuals" in ancient Greece. The idea of having a single best translation isn't really the right goal to seek and it really wasn't her aim.

From reading her notes (and her twitter account) I've definitely gained an appreciation of how much an art in itself translation is.
Show HN: Browse the (old) web with emulated browsers running in your browser
I'm excited to share the latest update from Webrecorder project, the release of a new OldWeb.today (https://oldweb.today), now running emulated browsers using JS/WASM entirely in your browser!

This is an update to the previous version (discussed 5 years ago at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10653033)

This builds on much previous work, including two excellent emulators, v86 (previously discussed at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11155203) and Basilisk in JS (mentioned here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20632843) running in the browser. These were modified to support a browser-based network stack, an Emscripten build of picotcp created by the bwFla Emulation-as-a-Service team (https://gitlab.com/emulation-as-a-service/picotcp.js)

The IE and Netscape browsers support older versions of Flash and Java. For good measure, there is also an option to run just the Ruffle emulator (discussed at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25242115) for Flash-only emulation in your current browser.

The system can browse live web pages as well as archived pages from Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
OldWeb.today can be deployed as a static site and connected to other archives as well. (Only a server-side CORS proxy is necessary, for connecting to external websites or archives)

The Dictator’s Handbook
Without any doubt The Art of Doing Science and Engineering by Richard Hamming. I have accomplished more in 5 years after reading it than I did in 15 years before. Much of it I attribute to the change of perspective the book brought about for me and to the fact that I have a vision of my future now. It also helped develop my own style.

Second would be The Language of Mathematics by Baber. As someone who did not do well with math in school or uni but was always good with languages and programming, I have benefited greatly from it by finally “getting” math.
As software development works today, the subscription model is the only logical business model. Unless it's like a single player game where you only play through or use once. Software today is an continuous process. When a software product ships it's far from finished. The subscription model is good for both users and developers, as it allows releasing a software product early, without a huge marketing and advertising budget. The incentive is not to make you buy it once, the incentive is to make you keep using it, by improving it, or keeping it good, take good care of customers, etc.
Pretty sure the company makes money by people going to get plastic surgery. I'm not going to buy from a company where my private pictures are leaked. Reputation is valuable.

DooM 1993. I’ve played it on and off for decades, but it had been a while. After playing Doom 2016 I got curious how the original would stand up. With gzdoom, it was one of the best games I’ve played in recent years, better than Doom 2016. The navigation, movement speed, sound effects, enemy ai, map design are just brilliant. Lots of features don’t look impressive today, but judged from a “how fun is it” perspective, even the buggy ai is fantastic and gives massive replayability - decades of it apparently as long as you take 5 year breaks here or there and add mouse look
Yet they revived the industry because of strict licensing and the ‘Nintendo seal of quality’ label that assured you that if you bought a game it wasn’t a rushed stinker.

Mort, by Pratchett. It is a great introduction to the Discworld and one of my favorite books ever. It is a good read over the holidays and you’ll be thinking about some of the lines in it for years to come.

“ History isn't like that. History unravels gently, like an old sweater. It has been patched and darned many times, reknitted to suit different people, shoved in a box under the sink of censorship to be cut up for the dusters of propaganda, yet it always - eventually - manages to spring back into its old familar shape. History has a habit of changing the people who think they are changing it. History always has a few tricks up its frayed sleeve. It's been around a long time.”
I'm curious why you think RISC-V is the future and not ARM. I guess part of it depends on how far into the future we're looking, but it doesn't seem like ARM license fees are so high that they're prohibitive.

ARM generates less than $2B in revenue. Apple posts $275B in revenue. Are ARM's fees just a rounding error to anyone with scale? And ARM knows that it needs to remain competitive on its licensing fees to make sure that people don't move to RISC-V.

I'd guess that a lot of ARM's revenue actually comes from the processor design, not the ISA. ARM will license you cores. RISC-V won't license you cores since they're not designing them.

It's possible that RISC-V will see great things, but I'm kinda thinking that ARM's license fees probably aren't much. Apple especially wouldn't be paying much since they're not licensing cores. Anyone that is licensing cores would need to replace that R&D with their own - which might be more expensive than it's worth. Qualcomm seems to still lean on ARM's designs.

And I think there's certainly a big head start in optimizing things for ARM that will be tough to overcome.

I just think it seems unlikely that current customers will drop ARM to save 0.1% of their revenue - especially if they need to start taking on the costs of designing the chips themselves, contributing to compilers, etc.

The exception I can see is China. China might want a free-and-clear route to their own processors without worrying about other nations denying them access to IP.
„How to win friends and influence people“ ranks pretty high.
Uh, yes? As just one example, China is already using facial recognition technology to help them identify, control, and jail Uyghurs: https://www.npr.org/2019/12/16/788597818/how-china-is-using-...

Respectfully I disagree. I tried Stadia a couple months ago. Note: I’m on a Gigabit connection.

I found the library of games generally unappealing. I did play a few titles, including Player Unknown. The stuttering and lag in the game reminded me of playing Quake 3 Arena on a 56K circa 1999.

Also, graphically the game wouldn’t run at my monitors 1440p. The graphics generally looked washed out. I thought it was just a poorly built game, but then I saw gameplay (non Stadia) on YouTube and realized the Stadia version was itself awful.
Since the original URL (https://rise.cs.berkeley.edu/blog/michael-i-jordan-artificia...) is responding slowly and points to the medium.com URL as the original source anyhow, we've changed to the latter. Thanks!
I wonder if you’re capable of seeing that both of these are true:

1. It’s a good test
2. It’s a bad test

That’s the thing that gets me. Are people (HN readers, other people) generally able to only see one of those points — or do they see both but dismiss one?

In your case, @xyzelement, do you see both? I know you see what’s good about the test, but do you also see why it’s a bad test?

OnePlus Watch is coming 'early next year,' CEO says
Only one: Atlas Shrugged. I was very late in life when I read it, as in my late 30s but it has a very big impact on me.
Yes. Cathie Wood's "golden goose" case is $4400/share by 2024 ($22,000/share if you use pre-split numbers). In the year since that prediction, Tesla has demonstrated that FSD and their ability to scale factory construction, which makes it clear that they are on-target to double production every year for the next decade.

Full disclosure: I am a shareholder. Back in May 2020, I explained why I bought heavily into TSLA in March and April: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22970810 (I bought more shares in June after writing that, bringing $TSLA to ~86% of my portfolio.)

Usually any UI in a movie is bad and drops me back to reality out of the magic of the movie.

There are meaningless percentages with silly labels, animated histograms, so much useless movement, scrolling nonsense, and sometimes even a world map, blinking stuff -- all crammed into one screen. And best of all, the useless extra data is often rendered extra useless with a font size that is too tiny to read without a magnifying glass.

There are movies with nice, (semi) plausible fantasy UIs too! For example, The Midnight Sky (damage assessment, map views etc.), Chappie (firmware upgrade, policebot PoV, etc.), Interstellar (flight controls, robot "debug" displays etc.).

Star Trek LCARS screens have been generally well thought of, but not always. There are weird numbers and "display nonsense" here and there. But, I can believe a starship could be steered with such a touch UI with clearly distinguishable big buttons and clear separation of functions.
We can assume, then, that linux will be a viable place for gaming in the near future.

> Ideally there would be one or two private tlds codified just as there are private ip ranges ...

There are several, in fact.

RFC8375 [0] states:

> This document registers the domain 'home.arpa.' as a special-use domain name [RFC6761] [1] ... 'home.arpa.' is intended to be the correct domain for uses like the one described for '.home' in [RFC7788] [2]: local name service in residential homenets.

In addition to "home.arpa.", there are several other domain names listed in IANA's "Special-Use Domain Names" registry [3] that "users are free to use ... as they would any other domain names" -- even if they are technically intended/reserved for other uses.

For as long as I can remember, I've used a subdomain of one of my registered domain names for everything in my home network. That has the advantage of, if and/or when desired, allowing me to do some "fancy tricks" (involving some combintion of DNS, VPN, and/or reverse proxying) to make specific internal/private resources available from the Internet.

IMO the premium charge is much better than commission as a pricing model. It's less predictable day to day but long term it better aligns incentives between the winning customers and the exchange. They don't really kick people off unless they're exploiting bugs in the exchange or engaged in illegal activity. They certainly won't ban you for winning on the exchange.
It was pretty much this scenario years back, as a result of that exact same scenario being used by bad actors.

The real thing happened, was detected and shut down. Then they did some trainings over the course of a year, and had us test the same thing again next year. Results were not particularly good, and people got upset that they did not receive the promised Christmas gifts.

Afaict, these trainings stop being effective at around 10%. That is, 10% of all people being phished like this will do everything you tell them to. Up to and including sending your their password and installing malware on their machines following your e-mail instructions.
These corporate phishing test emails come from phishd and similar services. Very easy to fingerprint them with smtp headers and set up mail rules to bounce them to your corporate phishing sink...

That isn't really going against their claim, IMO. Complex and inscrutable is part of the point - only the vaguest notes of "oh, that's their goal" are necessary. It reinforces that you don't fully understand what they're doing.
This is beyond the pale, way worse than the scenarios I've seen in the while when I wrote https://honest.security

We HAVE to as an industry disavow & replace this behavior with techniques to build trust between the security team and the rest of the employees.

If you're still religious, and you think maybe you shouldn't be, read Critique of Religion and Philosophy by Walter Kaufmann. It cured me.
Steps:

0. Buy a cheap Yamaha or Casio keyboard, which can be had for 80-120 used. Leave it on the floor, plugged in and on them to play with at any time.
1. Buy color stickers, like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DRGXBIM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_WTz....
2. Label each unique note in the twelve tone scale with a distinct color. The system I used was the one from welearnandplay.com: cdefgab=red,yellow,green,orange,blue,gray,purple.
3. Play games with the kid’s favorite toys and the notes.

- Example: find a red and green toy. Introduce the red toy while singing red=C, like “this is the red truck/doll/fox/whatever”. Then do the same with the other color you picked. Have them show you a toy, then sing a story about that toy using only that color note.
- Point out the colors of things you see. Use a tuner or piano app on your phone to generate accurate tones. This requires that you memorize the note color system yourself, which will happen easily after about an hour of initial play.
Should the celebs worry? Probably not. Should the company worry? Yes, they’ll have a name for that surgeon who leaks your medical documents and doesn’t really care enough to pay to keep your privacy.

you can make a list like that every five years. When deep blue beat kasparov people said the same thing, because on the surface it looks exceptional, but really when it comes down to it all those applications are extremely limited, closed systems. We will have more of them in five years, but as the saying goes, you don't get to the moon by climbing up trees.

In five years we will without a doubt have systems that play more games, solve more puzzles, fold more proteins and so on, but we'd have more progress on intelligence if we could build a machine that could reliably plumb a toilet or catch a mouse as well as a cat.

That recent thread linked had lots of good stuff. For me it was the Practical Common Lisp [1] and Land of Lisp [2] books. I like starting with a book and articles, but then need a project to work on to really learn it and experience the language. I will now make some quick scripts with Lisp since it is so easy to write it as you figure it out in a REPL, and a big project has been a text-based game engine using CEPL [3].

For me the power was really just in trying it out, seeing the joy of using a REPL and that everything is code. The development process is just better and more fun.

I just went down a rabbit hole of streaming for a couple of hours. I tried out Stadia, Moonlight, and GeForce Now.

* Streams in 1440p 144fps

Yeah, but has that affected their other businesses (such as their anti vitus?).

Otherwise, this is like saying IBM has done business with NSA. Well, of course they have.
Maybe you're right, but it still feels to me that leaking the pictures will not benefit the scammers much. They might have connections to other people that are still in the business and they'd harm them indirectly by leaking after getting paid. Why make more enemies? Also, why put more attention onto themselves after they already succeeded? Some people have very strange reasons they do things, but I still don't think it's likely. I think these things are organized with the top priority of minimizing the risk of getting caught.
From that article:

That will be taken by credit card companies as gross negligence and breach of contract (they include PCI DSS compliance on all contracts and a requirement that they do the same for anyone that processes credit card data for them) plus anyone going the legal route (and indeed there are reports of a class action that mention PCI DSS compliance explicitly)

My original comment was more in regards the care and security that is expected.
worked with stats, machine learning and data science for 10+ years now. never heard the term used until now. (that's not to say I'm not familiar with the things the term refers to, indeed, most of the intellectual frameworks I've worked with break each of the things that make up provenance into far more fine grained concepts).

course, I've also never heard of or touched the software you listed there either, but that may be because I don't view the data science and machine learning I'm interested in as being about specific software or vendor software...

sounds more database- lingo to me...
