“Productive“ here means “put to work on tasks that produce high returns”, not “output more than average”.

It’s really a function of a willingness to make “big bets” that, when they pay off, pay handsomely.
Absolutist free speech is the _ideal_, but we don't live in an ideal world. There are bad people.

That said, unilateral one-sided censorship is not okay. It's like Red Scare Hollywood.

My point a few rungs up was that there are many other forms of expression that are notoriously violent and misogynistic but don't get flagged by these same companies. I'm not saying I want that but I'm pointing out insistencies. Doxxing is another. It's very inconsistent how that is handled.
The question is can Intel find a way to be more AMD than Global Foundries? Or can it just find its fabrication mojo again?

It almost seems like take a conspiracy or sabotage for Intel to fumble such a large lead in process. But all it takes it self-sabotage in forced retirements and financial engineering ahead of innovation. America really needs it's CEOs to re-learn the lessons of the global behemoths of manufacturing we used to have- that re-investing in your own future growth is just as or more important than growing your dividends.

I think fabbing for outsiders would probably be a good idea, but splitting the fabs out from the designers seems like a bad idea.
There are literally dozens of examples of high-ranking Democrats, not or mention the liberal punditry, claiming the 2016 election was illegitimate and that direct action should be taken against the president, his staffers, and his voters.

Yet, those were not only allowed to stand, they were actually amplified by social media.

You can lie to yourself if you wish, but the internet exists and anyone who wishes to do so can find these examples in less than a minute.
> If you're interested in what actually gets executed (if you're trying to optimize for performance, say), then the `for` loop is clearly explicit than the abstract counterparts.

In what language? GCC will happily not just optimize away your counter variable but perhaps even replace your whole loop with an SIMD operation; I suspect the Go compiler will do the same.

Also, if you're trying to optimize for performance then looking at what code gets executed is (to first order) useless; the dominant factor is cache efficiency and you can't see cache hits/misses by reading the code.

So report them to the FBI or local equivalent for the "human rights violations", instead of engaging in willful negligence and then fucking bragging on the internet about how brave you were?

I doubt there were any "human rights violations", as reporting them seems like a much better (and much easier) way to screw over the people involved than not encrypting the database.

> In totalitarian states, everyone is equally poor.

Not quite. In totalitarian states, typically everyone's income is fairly equal.

Wealth, however, is often another matter.

In the soviet Union, party apparatchiks often had very nice dachas to live in, fancy cars, exclusive shopping venues with imported goods, vacations abroad, etc. But these things weren't necessarily purchased with disposable income, per-se. At least not officially.

> Our friends and extended family disappeared as soon as our daughter was born. I don’t know if it’s American culture or what, but people get extremely uncomfortable around people who are mourning or going through trials in their lives.

I experienced this last year after my (now ex) wife left me. I tried leaning on friends for support but they simply ghosted me. They had already started distancing themselves from me when they knew things were getting bad in my marriage; once we finally split for good, they became totally absent and unavailable. To be clear, these were just my friends; they didn't know my wife. I'm glad therapy kept me sane. Later in the year, I found a new and reliable friend in my manager, who was finally someone who would just listen to me and empathize.

In my situation, I found that family can be tricky. Someone in my family wanted to be supportive, but the problem was that they formed too many opinions around the situation. Instead of giving me space, they decided that the right thing was for us to get back together, without ever asking me how I felt or what I wanted (I just wanted to be done with it). So now I had to deal with my own shitty situation, while also managing their expectations. I eventually left them out of the loop; months later, when it became official (i.e. we had a decree), that person got really upset when I told them that it was final. It wasn't permanent and we're good now, but it was unnecessarily stressful for me to have to deal with that.
Give one example please.
Probably not the answer you are looking for. But a couple of years ago I moved to film photography, I have a small camera for day-to-day and medium format for other stuff.

I keep all the negatives as a physical backup and all the scans go straight into google photos. The special ones are printed and in a photo book.

Pros are no longer being plagued with thousands of photos, I am a lot more purposeful with my photography, as scanning technology improves I can rescan for higher quality photos. Also I am more creative with film, it has made me learn a lot more about photography.

Cons are low light photography is harder, development/scanning is costly if you aren't doing it yourself and if you are it costs time.
Censorship is often used by the strong to advance their personal interests. For instance two people "on the same side" have a lovers quarrel. One of them deplatforms the other. Another example: some official takes a bribe, and when the press realizes they are censored. Third: Some company has a competitor, and gets them censored for purely monetary reasons.

Another aspect where censorship creates issues is that every idea starts as fringe before growing mainstream. If they are censored it creates ideological stagnation.

A third is that true but "dangeroues" ideas, can have important implications. And those implications may be ideas beneficial to everyone. But since the dangerous idea is censored, no one will figure the implications out, and the benefits are not realized. For instance, let's say there was election fraud, but the censors "bet on the wrong horse" (nothing is certain, at some point you have to say it's >95% certain so we will treat it as true) and censor such claims. Then they may miss opportunities to make elections fairer in the future.
I was initially baffled by the choice of technology too. Part of it is that etcd is apparently much faster at handling writes, and offers more flexibility with regards to consistency, than I remember. Part of it might be that I don't understand the durability guarantees they're after, the gotchas they can avoid (e.g. transactions), or their overall architecture.
That and if you asked 20 years ago what CPUs our desktops will be running, not only would Intel not necessarily have been a popular answer (Many compiler books were written around that time, giving us a guess as to what the academic groupthink was, and they generally treat x86 as a weird ISA soon-to-be obsolete or dead) but Intel's main architectural competitor (ARM) might not've even been mentioned at all.
Maybe that'll work when all poor people jobs are replaced with robots. But until then we still need janitors, fast food workers, grocers, and other jobs that currently pay at or near minimum wage. Unless you want to bus them in and out of the city every day which has other complications and borders a company store.
IMO, China will be careful to crush Taiwan economically first so that no one cares when they roll tanks in.

> 3-5 times behind TSMC lithographically,

I'm not entirely sure that is true. TSMC plays fast and loose with their definition of node. Any fab folks want to speak up?

What I mean by that:

https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd/tsmc-7nm-5nm-and-3nm-are-just-n...

"And also goes some way to explaining why, despite TSMC offering a nominally 7nm process, the general consensus has been that Intel’s 10nm design is pretty much analogous. But what’s 3nm between fabs? At that level, probably quite a lot. But if the 7nm node is more of a branding exercise than genuinely denoting the physical properties of that production process then you can understand why there’s supposedly not a lot in it."
So does this mean we won’t be seeing the behavior I just documented the other day on here?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25746007

In sum, they’re intentionally circumventing DNS, /etc/hosts, and even IPv4 blackholing by attempting to send their phone-home packets through IPv6. Then if you block that as well your computer constantly freezes.

> x86 is on the way out and can't compete on power or performance. In the end RISC won, it just took a while to get there.

What exactly do you think is the fundamental limitation of x86? Most chips do lot and lots of crazy logic to go from instruction set to microcode, it's hard to imagine that the variable nature of x86 instructions are the limiting factor.
I sincerely doubt that was the motivation. See my kittycorner comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25771339
My AMD positions like this
Including Intel themselves, who came back from the Pentium 4 Prescott design disaster, late dual-core support, and late x86_64 support. And then promptly ate everyone's lunch with the Core 2 Duo and ruled unchallenged for a decade.
Modern ORMs don't let you hand craft sql, shunting it away in some scary extension that you then have to fight when management on using.

A ORM that worked on the principle of insert query text of any complexity receive object as the primary usecase, not the "nonstandard and non-idiomatic usecase" would be the only way to ease the concerns of dba's who code like me.

Its the same pitfall of api clients. Why would I take the time to learn an api like its a sdk, along with the pains of trying to shunt openapi's libraries in to my application without requiring the creation of a composer build step, further complicating deployment, when I can make 5 methods in the time before lunch to do the bits i need as rest queries and deployment of my php app remains as simple as `git pull production` on the nfs share all the workers read from?

The benefit of compile validated symbols is moot in the days of test driven dev, so the benefits gained from that can still be realized without creating build complexity or making competent engineers re-learn something they already know only re-abstracted in a way that almost always makes it harder for somebody who understands the low level to learn the new way compared to a new dev.

We have some logic built into the app already for this. Vantage is aware of what permissions it has and what it needs to perform certain actions and will inform the user of what additional permissions are required.

That'll be interesting to see how much is actually new. I'm pretty sure they licensed the core of their shader compiler stack, so there was no way it was going to just be opened up, but their GPU ukernel looks totally homegrown and would be a shame to throw away.
How is Intel dying if AMD can't even produce enough chips to avoid being out of stock the whole time? Production bottlenecks with TSMC are a thing.
To be fair, I think it's a lot easier to think in terms of decentralization when the tech you work with (p2p) is decentralized by design.

I imagine Parler to be something that was iteratively worked on, where their most recent challenge has been in scaling their service. I also suspect that they have been working towards returning their initial investment - it was likely accepted that Parler might just be temporary anyway.

Regarding the security, it is appalling. Generally the website feels like they have one good dev working in the background - it doesn't feel like an entire team working on this 24/7. It certainly doesn't feel like there is some review process. Hopefully they fix the security before bringing it back online.

What seems crazy to me is that Parler have not been able to setup at least one server to provide a static page to explain why they are offline and what the next steps are (from their perspective). At least parler.com points to 127.0.0.1 I guess.

I am always ready to drive people to the airport (or anywhere) as I went without a car for a few years and greatly appreciated every ride I got.

I’ve reported so many comments that are clearly TOS breaking (such as ones saying it’s ok to be violent against politicians who failed us (or even ones saying one of them should be shot)), but they say they “don’t violate their community standards”. It’s garbage. And when you “appeal”, they say “no, we looked at it again, and it’s still ok”. I’ve given up on hoping FB moderation improves. They need to be smacked down hard. What good is “community standards” if they’re not enforced?

Instagram, interestingly, it a lot more heavy handed (still not great though). Joan Cornella[0], who makes surrealist(?) comic strips, has posted on his IG story about his posts being removed for “violence” or whatever.

> Are there things you can express with it that couldn't be expressed in S-expressions?

No. But that may be like asking "is there something I can do with the x86 that I couldn't do with any Turing Machine?" Pragmatically speaking when you factor in UX and time there are things that are dramatically faster with Tree Notation versus S-Expressions.

For example, here's the editing experience for an upcoming DSL to enable non-programmer researchers to put together topical exploratory data analysis tools:
https://github.com/treenotation/random-demos/blob/main/Scree...

Lots of things that are muscle memory to Excel users (drag to fill, copy/paste blocks, move columns and rows, et cetera), would be very ugly/hard to do if we were using paren based S-Expression notation.

Look it up yourself. Intel being on 14nm vs (say) 5nm is actually quite flattering to Intel.
I liked dropbox early on. There was nothing radical about what they were doing but it was very well executed and simple enough to recommend to less technical people and share files with them. Even with the big companies offering cross subsidised platform integrated products I probably would have kept using them but they never innovated their pricing and products enough.

I waited years for a family plan and decided it wasn't worth paying multiple individual subscriptions. They were basically double charging for family photo storage so I bailed on them and never looked back. Apparently they introduced such a plan late last year and I never noticed. Now I have multiple streaming services, hosting and other things competing for my money. Many files which I used to protect and share with Dropbox are in a private git repo now. Photos are going into specialised photo products. And people tend to share files over different services.
Yeah, it’s really hard to be overly critical. You could argue the government did its civic duty here, public sentiment was overwhelming in favor of reduced restrictions.

Unfortunately, as detailed elsewhere in comments, enough of the populous didn’t respond in kind in fulfilling theirs - which is what the decision needed to work.

That said you could also argue this was predictable. Our diaspora are scattered about the globe, and coming home for Christmas is a common event and our UK border basically doesn’t exist. Similarly, folks who are originally from elsewhere in the EU flying home for Christmas then back.

Overlay the drinking/socializing culture, which hits its busiest period around December and watch the R number tip upwards.

Full disclosure: I agreed with this government decision at the time, but was quite surprised / shocked at the resultant case explosion.

Indeed. The level of security failure was pretty incredible.

When you have a family. A wife who barely knows how to create bookmarks in a browser and kids who only use their phone you need something extremely simple.

So you need to " scale " from 1 person to a household and take into account that all information you put in there, financials, recipes, addresses, etc. etc.. need to be ubersimple, working on a phone, auto sync etc... and need to continue working even when something would happens to yourself.

So that is why i standardized the knowledge management system in our household on OneNote (2016 client for the laptop).

This is because everyone understands office.

The API both the COM and the graph API also lets you create , update, read, etc... so you can write basically everything you can think of e.g. auto put bank transaction on the correct place in the correct table in the correct place in the taxonomy.

Thinking about the structure of a family and everything in there is also interesting and I had some larger revisions on that.
