My guess would be that the core-redistribution described in the OP only really works for cores on the same machine. If there's a spare core being used by none of the processes on that machine, a process on another machine might have trouble utilizing it because memory isn't shared. The cost of loading (and maybe also pre-processing) all of the required assets may outweigh the brief window of compute availability you're trying to utilize.
Please do not take HN threads further into nationalistic flamewar, regardless of how wrong others are or you feel they are, or how badly they are behaving.

I understand very well that there is extra pressure on a minority/contrarian view that feels embattled, but it doesn't make it ok to break the rules. When you break them it dissuades people from giving you a hearing anyhow, so individual interest and community interest are the same.

Can anyone comment on why Pixar uses standard CPU for processing instead of custom hardware or GPU? I'm wondering why they haven't invested in FPGA or completely custom silicon that speeds up common operations by an order of magnitude. Is each show that different that no common operations are targets for hardware optimization?
If the war/battle were to happen in an open sea/ocea, turkey would lose.
But the current disputes are all near shore, and turkey does have major home advantage as they can field missiles anywhere near shore. The french would lose.

It is like open pitch battle vs. storming a castle. You need at least 3x the men of the defenders, to be able to defeat a well defended castle.
It is real, probably not quite intended. Or at least not specifically designed.
Maybe I inhabit a different world from others, but this was not a conspiracy theory - at least if you had at least one friend from mainland China.

However, I think that people were right to push back against strong claims about a novel virus. At the time it was unclear whether this was another SARS or MERS, not quite as bad, or something worse. We didn’t even know for sure whether it bound ACE2 or DPP4 before mid February.

Hindsight is 2020 and I am very skeptical of anybody who claims they knew anything about the SARS-CoV-2 virus with any degree of certainty back in January.
There have been multiple publicly known incidents where small submarines surfaced near a carrier without being noticed by any ship or submarine in the carrier group.

In a symmetrical conflict against an enemy with submarines they will be completely useless.
Because is it rural. Farmers don't like having corners of their fields clipped to facilitate round intersections. And roundabouts have to be made large enough to facilitate multi-trailer trucks, not to mention farm equipment. Plowing them in the winter is also a real hassle/cost as opposed to strait-through square intersections.
I can relate to this. Thanks for sharing the blog post
I don't know about the French Navy but the US Navy has long had mature and adequate defenses against supersonic missiles. The US has been iterating on that kind of defense tech since the 1980s and has been a regular part of their planning.
It will probably be less effort to patch (increment version number) a non existing vulnerability than to explain it to every customer that comes with an report from a third party auditor.

CVEs for non-vulnerabilities is like corporate trolling
I paid for a builder on Clash of Clans, a similar game. I didn't regret it, it added quite a bit to the game.

You joke but this is an actual factor that hardware companies have to proactively manage. Apple, for example, grants free replacements to people who bought laptops in the last few months before an upgrade is announced. Precisely because, otherwise, people will sit on their hands waiting for the new model.

But really, you can just look at bitcoin itself: it keeps appreciating on the upward swings, but people continue to not use it for everyday transactions - it's purely a speculation target. That's not what a currency should be for.
The author specifically calls ML non-human computing and I believe is talking about the advances in ML from a theoretical standpoint. I don’t believe it is possible to lump the human written software used to train models, generate adversarial examples, and perform other tasks on GPUs, as purely non human computing. In fact, a lot of the advances in computing recently are specifically to enable this type of computing to be more efficient: easily parallelize training, analyze bigger datasets, graph databases, and other “big data” technologies.

In any case, software notebooks definitely existed before Jupyter like you say (I’m not familiar with Wolf but Mathematica has a similar idea), but I don’t believe they date back to 1996. I might be mistaken. I don’t see the author mention them in the text.

This is counting some carrier-like ships that aren't technically full-blown carriers.

The Australian ships, for example, are "landing helicopter dock" ships. The Japanese ones are "helicopter destroyers" due (due to a prohibition in the Japanese constitution, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_9_of_the_Japanese_Cons... some are still being converted to carry the F-35). A number of the American carriers on the list - the USS Wasp, for example - are actually things like "amphibious assault ships".
> one-time chance to pick up bubblegum in the first area of the game isn't something that is done anymore.

This is what I said in peer post a few hours ago. That's because the genre has been critically analyzed over the past 50 years.

Although the "click the keyword" modern I.F. really doesn't do it for me. I prefer the open-ended interpreters.

There is a doctoral thesis on this called "Twisty Little Passages". It discusses several "fundamental laws" of I.F. that were derived from the Infocom games of the 70's and 80's, such as your "bubblegum" complaint.

For what it's worth, this was supposed to be an "agreement onto absurdity" satirical response, to point out the flaw of following parent's reasoning to its natural conclusion.

Though, given people didn't pick up on the sarcasm, at the very least I'm glad it's at least being downvoted instead of upvoted!
Yup, according to these "researchers" having robots.txt on your website is enough to warrant a CRITICAL vulnerability.

No, I'm not joking. That's one of the reports I saw in November. I've also had to triage the claim that our site supposedly has a gazillion *.tar.xz files available at the root. All because the 404 handler for random [non-production relevant] paths is a fixed page with 200 response.

As far as I'm concerned, running a bulk vulnerability scanner against a website and not even checking the results has as much to do with security research as ripping wings off of flies has to do with bioengineering.
I haven't noticed any of those issues and I've been using a variety of Macs (2013 MBP 15", 2019 MBP 13", 2019 MacMini, 2013 MacPro) with a variety of 27" and 32" 4K monitors for over a year now. The 27" 4K monitors are for me the perfect compromise between screen real estate and display quality.

I definitely don't notice blurry pixels. I don't game, so maybe that's why I don't notice increased CPU use.
This seems entirely expected and in line with previous research and understanding of nutrition because the animal protein meals had lower fiber. A less sensationalist way to phrase this would be "high fiber meals are more satiating when controlling for macronutrient content."

I've been looking for something like this for ages. I have a small project I need to do and I'm not really a web developer. Muddling through setting all this stuff up for the first time would be far more work than the actual website.

Rendering may be highly parallelizable, but the custom bird flock simulation they wrote may be memory constrained. This is why having a solid systems team who can do care and feeding of a job scheduler is worth more than expanding a cluster.
Despite the colonialism, Honkong was a blessing for China in the 21th century. It forced them to actually adopt capitalism.

The last time China voluntarily invited an "expert" opinion from the west it ended in a massacre. They simply are not willing to change unless you force them to change.

Many other governments are like that. They can easily do better but unless there is a power that forces them, they will stay the way they are forever even if it is worse.
There are usually more obviously good and desirable things than I have the bandwidth to accomplish in one time period; it's useful to pick the subset that will be my current focus.

For example last year I invested a lot in lifestyle habits around exercise and cooking. Now those habits are largely autopilot and I'm looking at mental habits around attention, complaining, and negativity.
Hi BillinghamJ,

You're right, I apologize for not being clear. We're targeting 1s for "Initial loads" on new tabs/new navigation, which I assume you're referring to. Our target for 'transitions' is different.

If however the numbers you're referring to are "initial load" numbers, then I'm not sure.

(edit: and action responses again are also a separate category. Our largest number of complaints are about 'page load times' in Confluence, so most conversations center around that)
It depends on the feature. For things that involve material changes to your app or a feature that you don't want Apple to be surprised about, usually you will include user credentials in your submission that have that feature enabled and give them a heads up. If's a smallish feature, you don't usually sweat app review. It's obviously not a perfect system.
why do you need to post 3 times the same Turkish laughable propaganda?
> By inserting themselves into the SolarWinds’ Orion update and using custom tools, they also avoided tripping the alarms of the “Einstein” detection system that homeland security deployed across government agencies to catch known malware, and the so-called C.D.M. program that was explicitly devised to alert agencies to suspicious activity.

Have these names (“Einstein”) been disclosed before?
Mitre is a us gov supported team, and previously they could not scale to the need of their efforts. They did the best they could, but they still had a lot of angry people out there. The whole world uses CVEs but it is US funded by the way.

In come new CNAs, scale the efforts through trusted teams, which makes sense. The mitre team can only do so much on their own.

Unfortunately I don’t think anyone will be as strict and passionate about getting CVEs done right, like the original mitre team has.

Here is to hoping they can revoke cna status from teams who consistently do not meet a quality bar.

Would encourage anyone pondering this to read the 1997 Chinese miltary document (in your preferred language) called Unrestricted Warfare [0]. China and Russia both internally perceive that the US won (or will continue to win) the technological direct confrontation arms race, so instead they view themselves as always at war in all ways with a focus on indirect conflict.

Every 19 year old is an asshole, even the nice ones.
There's lots of things that sound good on paper. People have been working on things like fusion energy for decades. Actually demonstrating a breakthrough is very different.

That people were unimpressed until the point of demonstration is just rational. If someone were excited and impressed by every promising-sounding hypothetical they would end up on a lot of wild goose chases.

I don't think any of this shows any deficiency in the scientific community. Quite the opposite. A strange guy with off-beat ideas was able to come in and demonstrate an achievement, and he was awarded recognition for it and his technology adopted on a widespread basis.
The issue is extra employees run out of low hanging fruit to optimize, so that y% isn’t a constant. Extra hardware benefits from all the existing optimized code written by your team, where extra manpower needs to improve the already optimized code already written by your team.

Europe hasn't been building weapons for a while. The recent clash with Erdogan and heavy dependence on US military is making them realize it was a mistake.

You need your own military, and you better have more than the guy next door. (especially when he is crazy).

It's not just software either, we've done claims for construction and manufacturing too. We got some really nice testimonials. Our first client came to us pretty desperate after she had to close due to covid. No revenue meant no wages but we got her claim in and paid in 3 weeks.

Interesting, but note that some phones listed here as battery not swappable & no guide actually have batteries that you can replace easily following a video tutorial. Further, it appears that only official LineageOS versions are taken into account, but for some phones much newer TWRP & LineageOS versions are available (such as the 2017 mido that has well maintained ROMs with Android 11 and recent kernels). And even a screen replacement is only 20$ & maybe 20 more if you want to have a repair technician do it for you (it does involve heat gun and glue admittedly).

Lost of things. Lack of tools is one. Lack of hardware is another. Its incredibly useful to use 2D images as resources since there are so many tools, file formats and pipelines that support it. I have always seen Ptex as "UVs are hard, so lets reinvent everything to avoid solving that problem". Since I have solved the UV problem, there really isn't a need for Ptex.

Ruling out technology (and the 35v1 nature of the conflict) seems a little silly.

This is like claiming I'm evenly matched with Dwayne Johnson in a fight because we're of fairly similar heights.
My first batch of alpha testers came from a single Twitter reply [0] that got retweeted by a prominent person in the React community. It certainly helped that I had an okay Twitter following at the time (I think around 1k), but it doesn't need to be huge. You just need the right person to retweet you.

That was enough to iterate on until I had an MVP.

Then my Show HN [1] sent like 15k visitors in a day and that led to a ton of usage. I think something like 4k projects were created that day. I wasn't yet charging at the point, but probably for the best, since high usage meant a lot of feedback.

A few months later I launched on Product Hunt and that went well [2]. Beyond that, just improving the product every day, sharing my progress on Twitter, and trying really hard to turn every new feature into an exciting launch event.

I also started a React hooks blog [3] that sends me a handful of customers every month. I could probably do a better job of promoting Divjoy on there.

Haven't delved into SEO (barely rank for anything), content marketing, paid advertising, etc, so it's still very much a learning process for me.

OSM does not fail as a product because it is not trying to be a product and it is not trying to compete!

From his twitter it appears that the author is a Facebook employee. Now working (I guess) on Facebook Maps and (probably) on the Mapillary product. The somewhat surprising fact to many is that OpenStreetMap does not need Facebook. If Facebook disappeared, OSM would continue. Think about that again, OSM does not need the participation of any large corporate body to continue. The editors of OpenStreetMap welcome big corporate users of the database but they don't actually seek out or need huge corporate users. Don't get me wrong - OSM editors love that Facebook and Apple use and contribute, there's lots of reasons to praise this. It's like a wikipedia editor who hears that teachers are using their articles in all the nations schools - they are honoured and welcome it, but if the teachers stopped one day the wikipedia editor would still keep on writing those articles!

So, OpenStreetMap does not need Facebook or Apple. OpenStreetMap does not need to compete or be a product. Seems to me that I would view that as a big risk for Apple and Facebook. So, lets imagine how two of the FAANG could protect their investments and reduce risks. Would the changes that OpenStreetMap would need to make to be a product and to compete with Google Maps reduce such risk?

It seems to me that there might possibly be a push from the FAANG users of OSM to make it into a product, to grow, to be a tech organisation with actual employees, a CEO, a structure, an organisation that is familiar to many in tech and their lawyers, a business one can do business with, create contracts with, make NDAs to, employee people in, write deals with, have a say in the direction of and invest actual money in. Currently there is none of that and I think that might be worrying to FAANG.

Even if there's no conscious push from these huge corporations its more probable and it makes more sense to someone with a Silicon Valley mindset that any tech organisation look, behave, and be organised as every other successful tech organisation. It's therefore logical from multiple directions to want OSM to change to become a product company. I would argue that OSM is successful exactly because it is not like a tech organisation.

I find it incredibly useful to be able to toggle styles on and off in a simple GUI, especially for these two simple global styles:

video { /* flip video horizontally */
transform: scaleX(-1) !important;
}

or

/** scale videos that were originally 4:3, but
were encoded as 16:9 into proper 4:3 again */
video {
transform: scaleX(0.75) !important;
}

It's not extremely useful, but every time I toggle them on, I'm very happy that I added them both.

SkyDNS – We make the internet safer
It's hard to name a single action I can take in JIRA which does not feel unacceptably slow. However, these are the actions that cause the most issues for me due to being used most often (JIRA datacenter, MBP 2019 with i7 + 32gb ram):

1. Viewing a board. This can take 10+ seconds to load.

2. Dragging an issue from one column to another. This greys out the board, rendering it unreadable and unusable for 5-ish seconds.

3. Editing a field. I get a little spinner before it applies for 2-3s for even the simplest edits like adding a label.

4. Interacting with any board that crosses multiple projects. A single project board is bad enough, as in point 1, but we have a 5 project board that takes 20+ seconds.

Actually, I found an action that's pretty ok: Search results are fast, even if clicking into any of them is not. I'm not sure why rendering a board is so different performance wise.
I'm so glad that I don't use Windows LOL
That's a different kind of speculation mind , but I'd be curious to see the numbers. I don't think you're correct.

Also you don't want to hold dollars because unlike bitcoin they're inflationary and decrease in value over time - a necessary attribute for something to work well as a currency and one reason among many why cryto thus far is a failure as a currency.

Crypto is closest to gold in that both are scarce commodities used as a store of value. It's a terrible investment though. Warren Buffett made an interesting comparison between all the gold mined in history vs all the farmland in the US and which is a better investment over time.
