> Sounds like a direct competitor to the Raspberry Pi.

I would consider the Black and Green to be competitors too.

https://beagleboard.org/

Would be really interested to get a good analysis of the Raspberry Pi, BB Black, and this new board.
"White" isn't a race. There is no such thing as biological races [1]. Discrimination against "black" people happens on the basis of legacy concepts of "race". There is no discrimination in absence of access/power differences.

(Yes, some "black" people don't get the race part either. And yes, some of them are dicks. And yes, Twitter sucks.)

The thing is, this is not just another step up in complexity as another poster wrote here, but several.

Because it requires partial dynamic reconfiguration, which works with ram based FPGAs only (the ones which load their bitstream(containing their initial configuration) on startup from somewhere), not flash based ones which are "instant on" in their fixed configuration.

Regardless of that, partial dynamic reconfiguration takes time. The larger the reconfigured parts, the more time.

This is all very annoying because of vendor lock in because of proprietary tools, IP-protection, and so much more.

The few fpgas which have open source tool chains are unsuitable because they are all flash based AFAIK, and it doesn't seem to be on the radar of the people involved in developing these, because why, if flash anyways?

When the profit from occasionally serving one person in a wheelchair is less than the cost of providing the wheelchair access, yet we still demand it, indeed that's why we have to demand it - if you still made money from the person in a wheelchair, you'd put the ramp in anyway.
Is it me or it's a very WRONG idea to allow kids to connect with random adult on the internet anyway..? And when you know the long lasting relation between child pornography and internet it looks even more crazy.
I suspect they don't necessarily mean spinning platters. A SATA port also allows the connection of an SSD which is almost always a huge boost in usability over SD slots. The fact that you can add a large platter for a small NAS solution is just a nice option.

I'd far rather see a 2x PCIe port that could be used for whatever you wanted.
Intel is still making tons of money, so there's still time and Pat seems the right choice. Competition is good and Intel could still be competitive.
>"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity"

We really need to stop using Hanlon's razor when discussing businesses at scale. It is a great rule of thumb for everyday people, who are much more careless than malicious. With business though, there is too much money to be made by being shady and then hiding behind plausible deniability to always give the benefit of the doubt.

Outside hospital billing companies make mistakes all the time. It seems adequately explained by stupidity...until you realize the mistakes heavily tend in favor of overcharging. If the people who designed the system are benefitting from a systematic error, don't use Hanlon's razor.

If a delivery driver leaves your package at the wrong house, it's almost certainly an honest error. If a near monopoly delivery service constantly loses packages while heavily advertising package insurance, then there might be a reason they aren't improving their internal processes. (this isn't in reference to anything, I made up an example that could be either)

Anyway, off my rant and to your specific example: In the case of journalism...if clickbait headlines about stupid controversies outperform well written articles, then I have to think media executives know exactly what they're doing when they tell a journalist to bang out a dozen garbage articles a day.
There's something wrong with that page in Firefox. It pegs a whole CPU core and eats tons of memory.
Yeah, on Android it's much simpler. On iOS it's still doable using AltStore, it just requires you to be on the same Wi-Fi network as your computer at least once a week to keep sideloaded apps active.
I just added a parameter taking into account # and + for C# and C++. The results goes from 140 without to 27 and 111 with.

Actually the most government funded companies are those companies are failing, state-owned enterprises, which employ many low-skilled people. Meng tried to sell Huawei to Motorola for $7.5billion. The deal didn't go through because CEO change in Motorola. Of course, Chinese government would be a client for Huawei as well as Microsoft and many other companies. Also government owned funds would invest in commercial entities to make money. I have not done full research on Huawei, so I cannot say there is no money invested in Huawei.

If you are worrying about Chinese government controlling the company, actually in China, the government does not need to fund a company to do that. For example, the poverty elimination program was set out by the government, all major companies would be encouraged to participate. If you are 'encouraged' by the government in anywhere around the world, you would participate for a better relationship with the government.
Yes. At Samsung, you see many of the same things: militaristic culture, long work hours, senior execs in overseas branches almost all Korean, important information passed on during company dinners, people switching to Korean during meetings and in emails due to poor English skills, glass ceiling for non- Koreans, people not promoted to exec levels retiring at 50 due to "up-or-out" culture.
> Because the first thing I thought was that if I hard-ban something they'll just learn how to do it without me knowing, especially if it is something their peers are doing.

Yeah, exactly! Growing up in this age, it's impossible to avoid online interactions of some kind. So, it's better if children learn how to use technology / media / internet responsibly in a controlled environment. You're like the guard rails in a bowling alley :)

One approach might be to let them use TikTok or whatever app is popular, and just try to get them to learn to self-identify 1) how long they spend on the app, 2) how using the app made them feel, and 3) whether or not time on the app took time away from something else they might enjoy. Help them learn identify the positive aspects and the negative aspects of the platform, and only consider a full ban if you start seeing extremely problematic patterns.

If you have any personal self-improvement goals, it might also mean a lot to your kids if you make a habit of sharing your progress with them (in a way they can understand at their age).

Good luck :)
Raspberry Pi 4 with 8 GB RAM is $75, and that's not counting a power supply, SD card, or HDMI cable. Adding those at pishop.us (16 GB card) takes the price to $95.85.

We don't know whether the BeagleV price includes those necessary items or not but either way coming within a factor of 2 of Raspberry Pi price is pretty impressive at this stage. Up until now you've paid $3000 for a 1.5 GHz RISC-V setup with HDMI and USB etc, if you've got one actually in your hands (HiFive Unleashed plus MicroSemi HiFive Expansion board), or $665 for one that will start delivery in March (HiFive Unmatched). There is also the $499 Icicle which is quad core but only single-issue (like the HiFive Unleashed) and only 600 MHz.

Prices are plummeting.
I’m excited about Blazor and compiling dotnet to WebAssembly. There are some newer Blazor libraries built with the goal of having {no|minimal} JavaScript being written by application and web developers.

Of course, there’s lots of room to grow towards that goal.
"but if you put a newsletter sign-up form on the page, somebody here will complain about it."

I have a freely accessible blog with 3500 subscribers, there is newsletter sign-up form at the bottom of every single article, and I haven't heard a single complaint about it ... people who actually like to read are a lot more reasonable than widely expected.

Or perhaps the prevailing culture on HN is very, very different from the wider world.
Maybe on the backend. But maybe you mistake it for Twitch? They use IRC and you can use normal IRC clients to connect.
This is a great way to explain it. I was told as a child, "Don't write anything in an email you wouldnt want forwarded to someone else" which has stopped me from sending several emails I would have probably regretted.
I feel the frustration of your post. I agree with what you are saying.

Perhaps it can help to remember this: some of us here may not realize that even the term identity politics has a complex history. From Wikipedia:

> The term was coined by the Combahee River Collective in 1977. The collective group of women saw identity politics as an analysis that introduced opportunity for Black women to be actively involved in politics, while simultaneously acting as a tool to authenticate Black women's personal experiences. It took on widespread usage in the early 1980s, and in the ensuing decades has been employed in myriad cases with radically different connotations dependent upon the term's context.
Americans and their health insurance problems.

I live Serbia, to use Trump's words - in a "shithole country" (and I fully admit it is :-( ). I've never had a colonoscopy but I had a gastroscopy two months ago and it was fully covered by our single payer insurance.

At the same time a friend of mine needed to have a gastroscopy and a colonoscopy. He decided to go the private route and also chose a full anesthesia. That costed him 30.000 serbian dinars (~255 euros).

So it seems to me that you could buy a return plane ticket to Serbia, stay here for a few days, do a colonoscopy here and it would still cost less than what you need to pay there.
A lot of people here unsure whether OP is talking about users (consumers) or customers (advertisers). Given that he used the word "customers" it is pretty clear to me...but there is a lot of shitposting in here.
> So your argument is that in compensation for your attention you are entitled to give uninvited criticism

I would maintain that in many cases it isn't uninvited, just unwanted. There are many repos on github that are just somebody's pet project they did for fun or because it filled a need for them, and they aren't inviting criticism because they just shared code in case anyone else could use it or learn something from it.

However, many FOSS projects are very much like the band analogy above in that they aren't content to upload videos of their jam session to youtube but actively seek to attract an audience. They make project announcements on places like HN, they show up in forums and tell people how blazing fast their project is and it's a good fit for someone's use case, they have fancy websites, etc. They ask for your attention, and in so doing invite criticism.
The Digital Sales Institute Sales Skills 101
What we want is something like 4K video of UFOs flying around the Rocky Mountains. That would be satisfying proof that taxes are not being wasted. What we get is some bullshit that came out of someone's mouth, which was then typed into a report, and finally scanned into PDF and put online for the public to see. At least its not disinformation.
It’s not really buried, it’s right at the top as one of the two "key points".
I don't know. For example, did anyone argued for shutting Facebook down entirely when they refused to remove holocaust denial? I think this is precisely what people mean with this "meme" and it is a fair point.
I was thinking about missing children being identified faster, once we can identify individual features instead of group features.

On the list of features: "Dedicated Audio Processing DSP and sub-system".

The hardware might be there to do some good audio processing, but how it integrates with the OS is something I'm not experienced with.
Configure a DVC remote without a DevOps degree
Back in the 90s it was fairly normal to use your real name on usenet - some even included real phone numbers and contact details in their .sigs
To me, that move makes a lot of sense. But judging from the other comments, I'm the only one with that assessment.

I'm my opinion, the secret sauce that makes Intel dominate certain industries is software. And it has been for some years already.

If you need really fast mathematical number crunching, e.g. high frequency trading or realtime audio filtering, then you need MKL, the Intel math kernel library.

If you want to further reduce latency with parallelism, you need TBB, the Intel thread building blocks.

Raytracing? Intel embree.

Once you are locked in that deeply, the raw Intel vs AMD performance becomes meaningless. You only care about how fast the Intel libraries run

So a CEO with experience building high performance low level software seems like an amazing fit.

Edit: And I almost forgot, the Intel compiler used in pretty every PC game to speed up physics. Plus some people have seen success replacing GPUs with icc+avx for huge deployment cost savings in AI.
It was entirely wrong. The slides he published very clearly showed that it was an integration project with the FBI. The companies sent the FBI data for specific accounts under court order, and that is the only data that PRISM ingested. Greenwald thought the NSA could access arbitrary accounts' data. He could easily have gotten this right (like the New York Times did the very next day and CNET and the rest of the tech media shortly after) if he had bothered to figure out what each piece of the diagrams meant or if he had consulted anybody who understood computers at all instead of just a high school dropout SharePoint admin — you know, journalism.

The SD card on the Raspberry Pi is 50 MBps max, if I recall. That's a little slow if you want to use it as a small desktop.

I don't want to lug around anything, I want it to sit behind my monitor. Also an M.2 drive isn't that big, it could fit in many existing cases.
> Because as far as I know, Apple only allows
NetworkExtension-based apps to be distributed via the App Store,

No, not so. Plenty of VPN apps based on network extensions are delivered outside the Mac App Store. In fact, most commercial VPNs are done this way. My company uses GlobalProtect for example, and I can install it any number of ways, and it’s been NE based for over a year now...
Still not relevant. Maybe you should stop posting.

I've always taken "social justice" as a dogwhistle for "Let's address social issues in a way that solves them only for certain minorities". That suspicion has been strengthened again and again every time I've seen the word used unironically.
Solid analysis of the political situation as it relates to taxes although the end is a bit of a joke:

"We think tax hikes will slow the economy, and if we had
our way, the US would fix its budget problems by cutting
spending and issuing 50 to 100-year bonds, but as they say
“elections have consequences.”"

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tax-cuts-rich-50-years-no-trick... ("50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says)

"Based on our research, we would argue that the economic rationale for keeping taxes on the rich low is weak," Julian Limberg, a co-author of the study and a lecturer in public policy at King's College London, said in an email to CBS MoneyWatch. "In fact, if we look back into history, the period with the highest taxes on the rich — the postwar period — was also a period with high economic growth and low unemployment."
The whole "download during build" thing is a minor issue; k8s, for example, puts all their dependencies in the /vendor/ directory, and AFAIK many toolchains support this or something like it. And even if they don't, this is something that can be worked around in various ways.

The real issue is whether or not to use that vendor directory, or to always use generic Debian-provided versions of those dependencies, or some mix of both. This is less of a purely technical issue like the above, and more of a UX/"how should Debian behave"-kind of issue.
Lot's of companies have to make cuts in some areas while continuing to hire in another. Especially a company the size of Dropbox where there are many products and teams. However I agree that its a bad look and often tough to hire when you are in the news about layoffs.
One of the other replies points to the RISC-V extensions feature. I think for someone who "doesn't care about openness" would at least benefit from that in the architecture. It means the same compiler can be used to bootstrap things and simple steps can be added to greatly optimize specific types of code, like AI stuff. This board really stands out in AI performance.

Also, having things open means that the supply-chain can be more stable, with less chances of a single glitch in the system halting deliveries for any time. This is driving a lot of interest in RISC-V right now.
Apples and oranges. That's not a good thought experiment, it's a misguided one.
> if she wasn't able to correctly apply the blame to Apple, then normal users are definitely not going to be able to do that

This isn’t a moral judgement. I apply the blame to Apple. But I also choose to keep using their product. Their products are less dispensable to me than another VPN protocol.
If your bank decides that your business is worth less to them than a compliance checkmark, that's on them.

All my phones are rooted and it has never been an issue with any banking app I use. It's all about priorities. For some people, that's going to be the roman numeral name suffix dropdown in the registration form. For me it's the bank not telling me what I can do with my devices.
On Android yes, on iOS it's not supported yet.
Why not? Concluding there is other life out there seems like it would be good for society. Less xenophobia. What’s the harm in that?

Not sure why this is getting such push back on Hacker News. This actually seems like the more effective way to help raise people up vs having silent (bonus based) hiring quotas. It is also smart as it feeds into Apple's ecosystem

I've realized "dogwhistle" is a dogwhistle for miserable & sanctimonious people.
That's like saying "Humans produce carbon dioxide, cars produce carbon dioxide, lets study human anatomy to learn how cars work".

OP's statement of "this is what we get" strongly implies that the current state of things is somehow the result of libertarian policies.

There is nothing libertarian about our government. That's why I bring up the extremely high spending and unjust laws we have. Blaming libertarianism for anything happening in the world requires some serious mental gymnastics.

China also has large corporations, should we blame libertarianism for all the human rights offences happening there?

Jonathan Corbet (the founder and head cheese @ lwn) is an exceedingly nice guy and as a result of all of his work, ended up as a maintainer of much of the linux kernel documentation. He's one of those real unsung heroes of linux and also does things like the "Linux Kernel Development Report". Super good people and very professional all around.
Sadly I predict more Linux users will switch to Apple.
I don't think OP made the distinction themselves when making the thread. Google has an antitrust case against them that helps their customers. We need something else like regulation as users.
SolarWinds was a wakeup call but it was also a special case. I remember when I got the first demo of SolarWinds years ago and the cold sweat feeling when they drilled down all the way into individual calls to the database and thinking 'That's cool, no doubt, but that's a /lot/ of access'.

I've only installed it on dev and qa systems with scrambled, nonsense data.

A little common sense goes a long way.

In what way are you measuring success here? They have not replaced traditional education/colleges but its very likely that a larger percentage of the people on this site have purchased and learned something from a online technical course.
I had the exact same thought when reading the title and only came here to see if there would be clarification in the post body. No, it's just...a government.

This has to be peak tech-bro thinking. Also, it is obviously not the solution. What would prevent this, ahem, union from developing the same cancer US (and by extension) Western governments have right now?

The problem is at a societal level, which makes it so uncomfortable. If you discuss this, you are also discussing astronomical SF salaries, Move Fast And Break Things, Software Is Eating The World and all that stuff the HN community is very proud of.
