To add, this looks like it's some copy-paste thing being re-dated for the slow holiday news cycle. The original article (read: press release) looks to have been this[0] from May 11 of this year (inferring 'original' from the copyright at the bottom of the page being "72point" which onepoll claims to own[1]), and this same news source (studyfinds) reported on it only 5 days after it was published on May 16[2].

A (arguably) better source is this NY post article[3] which also contains a graphic[4].

Yea that seems super sketchy.

It's a shame that the RTS is a dying genre but those three issues he states are pretty spot on of why they aren't as popular anymore. Those three issues are also some of the most defining aspects of RTS games, especially competitive RTS games.

There was a time where I tried to get really good at AoE2, but it is a mentally exhausting "hobby". 1v1s in AoE2 feel like fencing whilst trying to do an obstacle course. There is so much to know and it's quite hard to execute everything you want while being harassed and prodded by your opponent.

I feel like this is a huge exaggeration of "hell" or a demeaning of the concept. For example, if you asked me if I'd rather meet my best possible self, or have my arm broken with a bat, it would be a no-brainer. I'm actually pretty curious to meet my best possible self and would probably pay some amount of money to do so, whereas I'd very much prefer to never have my arm broken again. And being hit with a bat is one of the most banal forms of suffering you could imagine.

I get that it is trying to say something abstract, like, you could be a lot better than what you are, but it just sounds so incredibly ignorant of how horrible things could be that it irritates me.
It doesn’t matter that it’s not true for Intel in general, brew doesn’t target “Intel in general”.
> few have much energy for fighting the idea that literature should be studied for it’s own sake

I agree with your post, except that statement is a bit of personal choice. From my perspective, knowing how airplanes work and how they fly makes my life richer, but I doubt lit majors would feel the same way.

(For example, when my house was built, I noticed a weak spot in the structure holding the house up, and had it reinforced. Without engineering training, I never would have noticed. Does this matter? In my previous house, some of the doors wouldn't close properly, and in the crawl space I noticed the main loads were not supported directly by a column on a concrete pad. The structure there had been gradually sinking. Jacking up that section of the house, installing a pad and a column, fixed that and the doors all worked again. I missed another structural fault until one day a window just shattered from the stress of the distorting wall.)

IIRC the current x86 processors consume more power because they have more IO lanes that are still on 14-12nm (even AMD on their 7nm CPU)
Refusing to implement them is probably more good than bad for most of these.

This is the real ticket to happiness imo. Once you realize there are just an enumerable amount of things you cannot directly change and start thinking "Why am I so angry about this?" you eventually learn to be happy.
Can you elaborate on what patents, and how they prevent emulating AVX but allow emulating the rest of x86?
I’m afraid I don’t get your point. The point around fairness is that taxes enforce a basic guarantee (a social contract), relying on civil society / community to create a safety net doesn’t.

> since Instagram/Facebook doesn't have customer support

That's probably because you're not the customer.
So, you haven't provided a single strong argument for how forums are superior, deferred proper functionality to a "forum config" that doesn't even exist anywhere, dismissed subthreading as a "bug" even though it's clearly been a very useful feature for decades, and then sprinkled the whole thing with "security" concerns that aren't even solved by the forums, and which noone really cares about anyways? Solid arguments to commence a change!

> it's up to the project to have a configuration they like

Exactly. Our mailing lists are far, far superior, than any alternative forum setups I've ever seen. I do insist it's not just "superior" to most forums, but indeed "far superior".

> Having text formatting tools is really useful when communicating things.

Then why do you even visit HN? There's no formatting tools available here, is there?
Are you sure this one was like that? I'd assume RTGs are a small enough market that they would be pretty much all be custom-made and tailored to the current requirements, and given this isn't a space probe and must be covertly transported by people on foot I would be surprised if they have the same amount of shielding/protection than the ones made for space.
Emulating AVX via Rosetta should be just as fast as re-compiling the original without AVX support and then emulating it. Emulating larger SIMD instructions is very easy, you just use multiple smaller SIMD instructions.

On the other hand, disabling AVX for all Intel machines would make those programs significantly slower, so it's clear why there is reluctance to do that...

There have been tons of analyses written on why RTS games have become less popular. If you're curious to read some, it should be pretty easy to google up. But the general theory is that RTS has lots of subsystems and very few people like all the subsystems in a single game, so the player base fragmented as gaming evolved. Tower defense games took the people who liked the base building part of RTSes. Slower-paced strategy games (Crusader Kings, Total War) took the people who liked deeper strategy. MOBAs took people who liked the micro.

> I think there’s room for a middle ground, a game that has more complex strategies like RTS’s do, but with casual play like a moba. We’ll see...

One problem is that RTS genre is a bit stuck. It is hard to pull in new players given all the other genres I just mentioned. And old RTS players "like what they like". You can see this in new RTS games that try something new like Tooth & Tail. It has a lot of negative reviews from RTS players saying things like "No micro?!? This isn't a real RTS!" Even though the lack of micro is specifically to try to draw in new players.

I always consider my life is strange. Born in a 3rd world country in a broken home, families fight like in drama, many divorces and remarriage. I went where whoever my current father at that time went, moving from city to city, school to school. Then I find myself in the US, from odd jobs such as dry clean, laundry, sushi, deli, to church admin, to now working as SWE in one of big US tech company in NYC. Married a wife from another country as well. Me and my wife are different culturally, language, faith, and socio-economic background. One day I woke up in a remote village where her grandparents cultivate rice, in a traditional home and where the bathtub is still traditional, hearing the sound of cicadas and see the morning sun, and I thought to myself "how did I end up here?"

It's strange, I left my home country and now wherever I go I see people that speaks different language than me, buildings that I'm not familiar with. My community where I am active with is also different than me. It is a strange feeling. I hate airports because whenever I am in airports I always have a mixed feeling. The feeling of leaving my current place to visit another home in another place.

Now my heart is in three different countries (or cities, to be precise). Every vacation season I have to decide which country to visit and to which family. Life is short. I saw my brother's baby, and then on the next vacation that baby already knew how to walk. My parents and grandparents are getting older. My kids and my brother's kids will speak different languages, grow up differently, and so does my wife's kids with her sisters'. I have a dream of uniting them in one place during vacation and see how those kids react to one another even though they can't communicate in one language, I think that'd be a hilarious sight but very wholesome. I hope there will be faster way to travel invented within our lifetime, maybe Concorde again?

I guess this is the life of immigrants. We are immigrants, this is our way of life. I often asked myself what would happen if I stayed in my home country? I'd marry my current girlfriend at that time, maybe help my family's business, or do something else. I don't know.

For anyone curious: I was born and grew up in Jakarta (Indonesia), and my wife grew up in Tokyo (Japan), and now I work in NYC. Life is surely strange. I feel very insignificant every time I think about this and I realize, there are millions, and billions of people in this planet with stories as unique or more unique than me. The world is is a strange place.

One day, maybe we will retire in Japan, or in Indonesia. Who knows. It's too far in the future. What I do now is cherish every moment I have, knowing the future will be different.

I was going to say the same thing. I played Settlers III as a kid and while it was an interesting gimmick it was honestly pretty cumbersome.
I own a MacBook Air M1. Today, I noticed that my Homebrew Python (3.9.1 on Intel) installation had reverted to the default one (3.8 on ARM). I forced a reinstall with homebrew and I got an ‘illegal hardware instruction’ error when running python3. It was corrected by building from source (with the -s switch: brew reinstall -s python3).

I found out about this issue on Github and I learned that the M1 chip does not support AVX (which is indeed documented) and that Homebrew developers assumed that all CPUs supported by Big Sur were compatible with AVX instruction set (which is true except for the M1 under Rosetta 2).

I found it interesting to see how they rapidly corrected the situation by merging a partial revert. I also found their CI infrastructure interesting to watch while it was live-testing the commit.
This is interesting for me - I think there is a lot of space to develop visualizations that highlight the seasonality of events.

At work, I am often asked to tell stories with data where periodic or seasonal behavior plays a major role. Something like this is definitely improves in many ways over a 7-day moving average or a YoY line chart, but I can't help but feel that there are even more powerful options waiting to be discovered.

This has to be the single worst decision you've made this month.

As far as I'm concerned, my Twitter feed is write-only memory. The SMS equivalent of dev/null.

If you're ever tempted to do so in the future, reconsider. Go for a walk. Write some poetry. Make love to your wife. Do anything else. We get so little time on this planet, please don't waste what you have looking at what I have to say.
Intel has long been hamstrung by Windows/Microsoft.

Qualcomm, AMD, and Intel need an OS which they can exert substantial control and vertical efficiency and integration, and afford a path from x86 to ARM.

That's really only Linux. Windows has dragged its feet and has practically trailed OSX in design/usability/appearance (despite a VAST difference in available budgets) practically since OSX was released.

So it's Linux, or.... what? the Beos/Haiku? ReactOS? Open Solaris?

They need their own OS at a minimum to push Windows. A huge investment in ReactOS/WINE would also help bridge the gap.

Er, I work for a FAANG, but I'll never reach investment banking status.
I think about that episode a lot in perspective of my life. I actually lived my life like Picard reliving his life. What really hit home was when he was transported back to the present and was questioned Troi and Riker about getting into command. They pretty much laughed at him. To me that really opened my eyes about who I am as a person. I liked being wise even young that it almost has created a retroactive effect my future prospects simply because of it. I've often been told "are you an old man?" by many adults when I was younger and in hindsight now I understand why. However I find it very stupid that human culture (or just western values) find that as a negative. For some reason were supposed to waste our youth and engage in risky behaviors. I just never saw it that way.
I'm thinking Big Law, Big 4 Management Consulting, BB Investment banks, private equity, etc.

Base rate information: Iceland's health system sees about 5000 viable pregnancies per year. This means that we'd expect about 4 births with Down syndrome per year. We see 1-2, meaning that about 2-3 pregnancies are terminated in Iceland due to Down syndrome each year.
Rule number 0, Don't Feed the Trolls?

I agree generally on ignoring. However, I think we need periodic reminders that the structure we're building on isn't made of magic, but accumulated hard work and delicate knowledge and technological chains. If we stop valuing education, if we stop valuing culturally scientific truth and knowledge, if we rest on our laurels disinformation grows and knowledge decays: it was a good reminder after recent political climate in the US, UK and Brazil for example in which disinformation (poor access to reliable sources) played a large role. In those cases populism exploiting misinformation. I think if nothing else we need it for democracy, otherwise the people can be manipulated and those in power are sure to serve mostly themselves[0]. Flat Earth is so absurd that it's a good example most people can call out.

[0] Also, our problems, and its solutions as well, are becoming more complex. Climate change is the great example: we are fighting a costly problem brought by technology, that most people can't see, and you can't readily verify themselves. Coronavirus is made more dangerous by increasing speed of transportation and interconnection, and our solutions also more drastic and technological. Faith in science and ability to evaluate claims for themselves is critical.

Reflecting on London Underground's Overheating
There have been many theories about what to do to cure underground railways of overheating, but I have seen no evidence of monitoring to demonstrate the origin of the heats and how it progresses. One thing is certain - the problem is worse in the summer so reducing operational heat which is year-round will not hack it. Besides Glasgow, Warsaw and Prague do not overheat and they, obviously produce operational heat! So, I believe I have found the only answer that fits the evidence! Please see https://www.railbusinessdaily.com/a-reflective-perspective-the-whys-and-wherefores-of-metro-overheating/
The sentiment I get from some people is that traditional, pure CS educations are in some way uniquely qualifing, and software eng subjects (config mgmt, project mgmt, requirements/design/V&V) are trade skills and paperwork that don't have rigour, whereas in reality they are foundational skills for big/complex software projects. It is as reductionist as saying CS is just programming.
Is it? I'd guess putting the brine back far enough in the water, away from the seafloor, would provide plenty of dilution. I'm doubtful that they'd desalinate at such a rate that would drastically change local conditions where they return the brine.

I'm just guessing here, but that's my half informed idea.
