> It will likely be replaced by something like ARM

Er... the spiritual successor to MIPS (as "that nice little instruction set that academics love") is definitely RISC-V, not ARM, and a Debian port for riscv64 is in progress.
I'm not sure on the percentage of assuming latency is only coming from the network/internet layer.
For me, everything hurt.
I whole-heartedly agree. I not sure of another community that has this level of well reasoned discourse anywhere else. Hacker News is a special place.
MIPS has no SMP memory model.

One could be cribbed from POWER or ARM, or even x86, but it is a paste-up.
Quite. Note that Google have been mailing "welcome" messages to people who... deleted their Fitbit accounts before the acquisition, so that's off to a good start.
> I'm pretty comfortable with 32-bit ARM

Could you give a direction to a good place for learning it ? Where is better to start? I wish to write hello world without linker or assembler for linux.
Static site. Can’t really justify spending money on a server just to host a WYSIWYG editor.
I have 3 side projects that I’m splitting my time between.

- a browser extension that will reverse engineer a site’s APIs by analyzing network traffic and then compiling them into standardized specifications.

- API based financial derivative calculations that will calculate more than just the BSM.

- Just another financial market / economic analytics platform.

But i386 will still run on 64 bit hardware. A place I was working recently was insisting on sticking to 32 bit linux while they migrated off Solaris, mostly for stupid reasons on code that wasn't too hard to port, but just because the hardware is no longer compatible doesn't mean the software is, especially for any proprietary software that will never be upgraded.
I'm racking my brains and Google and can't seem to pull up which Monty Python sketch or movie that one comes from. Give a hint?

Just started a new job, so had to take a break while I get my routines sorted out, but before that was making semi-interactive sites for my short stories to live in. The latest one was a trio of short stories embedded in a... html puzzle box I guess? Anyway, it's up here: https://3ai.highvoltageclouds.com/
It's such a confusing misnomer that the majority of both proponents and opponents of it wildly misuse it all the time.

Just call it something like "toxic gender roles" or "toxic gender expectations" and you short circuit the entire debate.
May be. But:

1. It shows numbers for distributed, not received.
2. It takes some time to schedule appointments, since vaccine supplies are still limited, so there is a lag between receiving vaccine and administering doses.
3. it takes time to deliver vaccines to more distributed areas. State I live in has ~3 times less people than Israel but is ~6 times bigger.

That extension sounds really interesting. Is there any way to know when it’s released?
Yes they absolutely are. Decoupling academia from this horrendous publishing parasites is an ongoing project that has taken a vast amount of effort from a vast number of academics and continues.

You have metrics. You pulish with the parasites, they're bigger than with some open-source journal nobody has heard of. Your career progression relies on getting published by the "most prestigious" journal.

You want your work read. Everybody in your field read parasite journal A, there isn't a good substitute. You're stuffed.

You don't get to decide. You're one author. the head of school had decided for you.

I can go on. The parasitic publishers are /hated/ by everybody. They provide nothing at all of value. They have been a very successful example of rent-seeking through the puchase of prestige titles then jacking up the subscription prices.

You underestimate the level of hatred accross the political spectrum from socialist to libertarian of these parasitic (insert metaphor here).

The gun they have to the head isn't perfect. They will go but they continue to extract a vast amount of rent on the way down.
Resurrecitng an old MMO. I have the client source, and sources to the server of the MMO prior to it that use similar ideas, and debug data dumps of data structures, but no server software. so writing that from scratch. Time consuming, but it was my first MMO so its sentimental.
Android had permission system before iOS implement it, but it was just a prompt for list of permissions at install time so not much worth like current one.

A new general purpose build system that uses a VM to cache configuration files compiled from a multitude of formats (Camera, Ninja, Makefiles, etc) with a focus on cross-compilation. Should be suitable for projects of any size if I can pull it off.

Been thinking about and designing various build systems for 10 years, so this is a big project for me. I personally desperately need it; CMake and I have a love-hate relationship but I think it's finally time to figure out something better.
When they say 40k cores do they really mean 40,000 cores? Or is that some type of kube measurement system I'm not familiar with
Yeah, but the 33% US federal bracket kicks in at $200k versus $70k in NZ.

But sure, if you take the highest tax states in the US the difference isn’t that great. But compare it to say WA (no state tax) and it’s a big difference.
To be honest, you're using a small fraction of the available wireless networking bandwidth available in 2020.

54Mbps vs 600Mbps for just 2.4Ghz, and using 5Ghz gets you to over 1Gbps.

Not accounting for real world losses/overhead, but that would hold true for the WRT54G.
.. that factory full of rigs and a power plant with the capacity of Arkansas Nuclear One
I have mentioned this twice before on HN, and I have been making progress: I am interested in creating "compact" (self-defined, non-standard term) machine learning models. A compact model is a smaller version of a model that in getting its size reduced tries to lose out on as little accuracy as possible.

I have a library now, that implements a subset of my promising ideas so far [1]. I am not done polishing and testing the implementation yet - hence, version < 1. And I am working on some more ideas - so more theory and code to (hopefully) come soon.

You would need to capture the ENTIRE energy output of the sun for about 5 years to generate that much energy.

If you can do that, terraforming Mars is nothing, you could just grab a bunch of nearby asteroids or a planet or two and combine.

And just think about how much material you need in order to build a collector large enough to entirely encompass the sun - it's WAY WAY WAY larger than your added Mars mass.

Also you would need a magical strength material just to hold those lightspeed objects in place (think of the huge centrifugal force they are generating). There's nothing in the world that could hold them in place.

I assume they are charged - or how are they keeping them in their "track"? No physical material could handle it. So they have to be charged, well the Synchrotron radiation generated would be enough to sterilize anything nearby.

So "known physics" is a bit of a stretch.......... :)
An online workshop suite that is part video conferencing, part workshop planning, part data analytics tool for people that host and run online workshops. It’s called MeetButter (https://MeetButter.io)

Ever since the pandemic, a lot of facilitators (design thinking, corporate workshops, internal brainstorms) were forced to move online. We found a gap in the video conferencing market for this group of niche users, and decided to fully focus down on that niche.

What started out as a React + Firebase app has now evolved into a complex full stack system. The industry is still ripe for innovation and ideas that we can play around with.

Also, the court was pretty clear about not making any drastic interpretation of their ruling, beyond the criminal jurisdiction matter that was at hand.

However, the fact that the court validated the continued legality of the treaty at all was a pretty big deal.

> Twitter has the right to police the speech on its platform, but the rules must apply equally to everyone if they claim to be a neutral platform and not a publisher.

> > If you said "A site that has political bias is not neutral, and thus loses its Section 230 protections"

> I'm sorry, but you are very, very, very wrong. Perhaps more wrong than anyone saying any of the other things above. First off, there is no "neutrality" requirement at all in Section 230. Seriously. Read it. If anything, it says the opposite. It says that sites can moderate as they see fit and face no liability. This myth is out there and persists because some politicians keep repeating it, but it's wrong and the opposite of truth. Indeed, any requirement of neutrality would likely raise significant 1st Amendment questions, as it would be involving the law in editorial decision making.

Debate all you want about whether what Twitter did was moral, it was unquestionably legal, and anyone claiming otherwise either doesn't understand section 230 or is deliberately trying to mislead.

In this case I'm betting it's the latter.
BLAME! Could be an example of megastructures gone haywire.
I have done something similar in a Lua IDE: http://notebook.kulchenko.com/zerobrane/live-coding-in-lua-b....

What you are describing is similar to what Stacks 1.0 was i.e., directly on top of the Bitcoin chain -- a virtualchain. Every Stacks 1.0 transaction was a Bitcoin transaction.

The lessons we learned from that deployment for 2+ years is that (a) it doesn't scale that well and (b) it's very hard to modify Bitcoin and get new changes accepted (for good reason), so you end up with very limited scripting.

To fix the two limitations of Stacks 1.0, we worked on Stacks 2.0 which has a separate blockchain (so scalability independent of Bitcoin) where settlements still happen on Bitcoin and, more importantly, a full smart contract language without modifying Bitcoin itself: https://clarity-lang.org
This can only be good. I have had 3 WearOS watches over many years. None last more more than a few months of use due to the mindblowingly bad WearOS. 256,000 reviews and 120,000 one star reviews. I have a drawer full of perfectly working hardware that I can't throw out.

The bot based support question answers is a complete joke.
Maybe not Google's fault but the connectivity between the watches and the phone is the most flakey thing ever. Considering a $20 Xiaomi Band can keep a bluetooth connection forever I don't think it is the hardware.
The rest of the software stack is hobbled my a java stack that needs gigs to run.
That’s really cool, nice work!
People will just switch to OpenDistro.
A long time ago in Internet time, Justin Frankel (creator of Winamp) created a tool for live music collaboration that approached this problem in a very different way. Basically what it does is that it _adds_ delay for everyone in a way that synchronizes the musical measures, such that you play a measure while listening to everyone else's previous measure.

I never tried it because I'm not a musician (just a longtime fan of Justin and Winamp), but I always found the concept very interesting. Apparently it is still alive: https://www.cockos.com/ninjam/
Definitely none.

Nobody said anything about dismissing anything, only being realistic about what you have the ability to do and how you let your attention be directed by third parties. If something is not within your sphere of influence in any way, then it is, by definition, a waste of your energy to be concerned about.
Interesting, thanks for the link. This would be much fancier than the simple thresholding I'm doing currently.

It might be overkill for the use cases I'm targeting right now (clean recordings, probably done with audio gear) but I'll make a note to check it out.

Hmm, popcon says only 199127 submitters, I wonder how many Debian systems there actually are.

https://popcon.debian.org/
1. The documentation toolchain, process, and content for a Silicon Valley startup.

2. A neurosymbolic-processing system (in other words, a symbolic knowledge-based AI system that coordinates a raft of neural-network and machine-learning systems) for machine control for several U.S. federally-funded projects.

3. Version 0.7 of Bard, a small Lisp with a few novel properties that I've been working on for, oh, about 18 years or so.

4. With my (grown) children helping out, a new web-based extension of my Mac list-management app, Delectus, with some new features and plans for using them in new ways.

5. My fourth science fiction novel. It's tougher going than the first three; it's taking a long time.

6. A few musical recordings. One entirely new composition, and two or three new arrangements of some older material.

7. An illustration for the album cover of my older offspring's latest record.

8. Various essays that are likely to wind up on my blog sooner or later.

The picture that immediately popped in my head when reading about the zooming features was factorio.

It would be interesting to spatially arrange files and folders in codebases. If the framrate is high, I imagine it could be pretty powerful. Remembering where a feature is on a plane seems easier than finding it in a directory tree.
> outright attempts to splinter our community with “open” repackaging of our OSS products

That make it sound like packaging together the open source core with some third party plugins that could be used in place of proprietary plugins from Elastic was somehow some evil plot to destroy the community. Was the goal of the package to increase the bottom line of a company other than Elastic? Probably. Was the goal to splinter a community from which said company profits? Probably not.
What is politics not already a part of? Art is inherently political. Sports certainly are political. Games? Definitely political. News? Writing? Software? Food? Dance?

I contribute to a neat platform called https://pol.is/home. It's used to shape legislation in Taiwan. It's basically a techno-social exoskeleton that gives laypersons the superpower to see the whole forest (10,000s of ppl) via dimensional reduction over a chaotic matrix of agree/disagree statements. Or rather: To "listen at scale".

Like these: https://pol.is/4yy3sh84js https://pol.is/5pch2hmyn7 https://pol.is/4hnmy3zeff

It has some emergent properties that are a bit of a mindfuck. You can use it to help ppl see a more neutral landscape of complex opinion groups. Less us-vs-them, and more us's-and-thems. And you can incentivize participants to do the hard work of finding consensus statements, by dropping statement "between groups" in the visualization.

So if you tell ppl you'll reward them for thinking up and submitting "consensus statements" that straddle groups (e.g. like "finders get their item onto agenda of big meeting"), then the most passionate participants (who might otherwise shake apart consensus) will scour the tool to build up a working model of other groups, so they can "trick" them into agreeing with the statements this passionate user submit.

But surprise -- in selfishly trying to achieve that, they've now accidentally built their own stories about the groups, and laid the foundations for empathy :) And they're a changed participant going forward. Perhaps more likely to hold a middle position...

Further, the tools definitely opens up questions about how a system could elevate the voices of moderate particpnts (from the liminal spaces between groups) who might guide the discourse. What if we elevated these boundary folks, plucked from the math, to hold power? To decide? To represent?

This is cool. Definitely going to test it. Years ago I’ve looked into something like this but found only find xhyve which looked a bit crude.

Ended using Parallels Desktop Lite which to my understanding is a GUI to VF. Used to be free for Linux VMs then they’ve changed to yearly subscriptions. And they charge premium for a year of their glorified virt-manager.

To make things worse their 1 year subscription is blocking me from changing countries on app store. I hate that company to guts now.
There's <$150 worth of components here, so I guess you're paying $500 for design and assembly. Which would make sense if they had designed and assembled a novel PBC, but they're basically just reselling something complicated, and surrounding it by very simple designs.

I'd pay $200 for it, maybe.
My band did that for a while. It was a lot of work for the producers.

We also played a specially composed piece for playing over zoom. We each recorded separately then sent our files in later. But it was live. And the music was super-simple.
In case anyone is curious, this is literally the future of programming (I realized it 20 years ago after reading Genetic Programming III by John Koza). The fact that we don't already do this just blows my mind.

For small-scale examples of this, I highly recommend reading up on basic stuff like Karnaugh map simplification and compiler optimization. Once you realize that all computation is just mapping inputs to outputs, and that the main task is actually pruning the search space (not working the problem), everything changes.

Of course, knowing all that, setting up the initial conditions, figuring out the types/ranges/valid values of input, and what the output should be, is half the battle. And it turns out that these are just exactly the tasks you have to do for stuff like training neural nets. It's all going to be machine learning in 10 years is what I'm saying.

Oh and also for anyone interested, today's processors are almost perfectly wrong for this sort of work. Since we're just piping data around (like video games), the cache is borderline useless. Data locality is important though, so just about every core needs its own memory.

My feeling is that AI hasn't improved appreciably in our lifetimes because we're so focused on serial computation that we completely missed the fact that parallel is the way to go. Our brains are 100 billion neurons running at 1 kHz. Kinda hilarious/sad to think about IMHO, but I digress.
Since the edit window is closed, I'll add that the psychological side of the equation is an even bigger issue. For instance when you're supposed to record your juries, you end up spending hours trying to get a perfect take, as you get more tired and frustrated.

When it was in person, you showed up, played, and were done, good or bad. As a performing musician, I greatly prefer to make a mistake in front of an audience than play perfectly into a microphone.
Debian can always use more porters, especially for MIPS as that family of ports isn't doing great. The debian-mips mailing list should be able to help you get involved and there are similar lists and IRC channels for other ports, as well as the #debian-ports IRC channel for all the unofficial ports.
