> bash, python and even SSH being regularly broken

Reference needed re: SSH, but as to Bash/Python/etc, did you know Apple bundles “old” versions of both? You should not be using the system provided ones imho if you are a developer.

Simple solution:

brew install bash gnutools python

That will very likely solve all your complaints listed, the second of which listed is for those who don’t understand BSD vs GNU/Linux userland CLI options aren’t universal.
More specifically, there are fewer people willing or able to do crime scene cleaning than normal janitorial work. That drives the price up. Simple supply and demand explain it quite well.

Great article. Did you consider doing Optane tests? I built a 3990x WS with all-optanes and I get blazing fast access times, but 3gb/s top speeds. It might be interesting to look at them for these tests, specially in time-sensitive scenarios.
Just replaced my 3T last week. Such a great device, still fast and only a few minor scratches. Too bad there were no more security updates.

And although this is “hacker” news, I didn’t feel confident running non-stock Android..
The station itself is pretty compact and does not use any liquid cooling.

I'm not sure if we're on the same page about "coolant" - are you referring to those used in cars or the ones used for PCs and electronic devices?
This mindset is ultimately what many universities are optimizing for. The credential is pretty meaningless if it can simply be purchased, people will catch on quickly enough.

The ideal business is then one that actively inflates the credential's value while lowering the difficulty of achieving it. The best way to do this is to increase selectivity/restrict supply, raise prices, lower difficulty (grade inflation), and increase the time required to get the credential, while providing alternate activities for those who are inclined to do something other than receiving an education.

Heck you can get degree credit by virtue of living in a foreign country via a study abroad program.

The other activities a university may participate in like research, or educating only matter to the extent they enhance the "prestige" of the credential or to benefit the minority of students who value academic rigor more so than the credential.
I think you missed the point of the OP? Let's try it

Failed for Arabic, Sanskrit, Telugu. I'm only guessing those languages are not easily writable with fixed size units
Yeah, it's actually funny that the GP's characterization is more aligned with the historical/ancient function of colleges and universities than the current one. For many decades at a time, you could characterize the student body of legendary schools like Oxford as "Bands of bored and inebriated wealthy teenagers."

For the best example, look no further than the St. Scholastica Day Riots, which started with a drunk angry scholar and escalated into a mob riot with nearly 100 casualties. [0] When not rioting against the villagers, Oxford scholars in the 13th and 14th century were prone to riot amongst themselves.

Similar disagreements in the past culminated in lynchings and led to the founding of the University of Cambridge (to avoid more bloodshed from angry villagers, but also in part to avoid accountability for other kerfuffles). So yeah, wealthy teenager daycare with education on the side is nothing new.

Edit: fixed a few historical inaccuracies, I mixed a few events in my head.

It lists "forced enrollment" as an example of "forced action" which is tangential action required tobe completed. For me, a recpatcha step asking me to classify traffix lights or cars is one as well.

If they don't want that situation they could always just not enter the US illegally.
I take issue with these headlines that say "X is now the cheapest energy in history!" when they mean "at noon on a sunny day in summer, completely ignoring any extra equipment and capacity needed at scale to deal with the fact that it is intermittent"

Hydrogen is not an energy source but rather an energy carrier, like a battery. If you want to use hydrogen fuel cell vehicles that can exchange cells at street stations you need extra energy clean-energy capacity to make the hydrogen. There are still plenty of hurdles.
They have a lot of experience in every part of the car except the drive train. And once you have the battery, the rest of the drive train is.. pretty easy? I think? You're just hooking 2 motors to 2 wheels?

Someone tell me what I'm missing here.

The problem with Desktop Linux was by the time it got better, regular people spent too much time on phones and not enough time on laptops/desktops.

But I can't really imagine phones going away that fast---what, we all get some Uber regulated neural thing? I think the tech companies are too unpopular for that---and so I think PinePhone can catch up. Plus, the Duopoly is way more annoying for regular users than Windows ever was.
But. The point is still that you can run your own non-federated signal server or connect your own client to their federated network.
They're not allowed to go out of business. They have pensions and healthcare to cover for hundreds of thousands of retirees. That's their only purpose in existing it seems.
> Do you really want to rewrite all existing software because it would be nice in 0.01% of cases that a thread is not "blocked" by an antivirus on file open

No. First, it's not a rewrite but a bugfix patch. Second, you will want this fix because open can return EINTR. It's documented. The code (postgresql in this case) is wrong. It should be fixed. simple.
I’m sure they didn’t sell it in one transaction. Funds either have their own specialist execution traders or outsource that to another firm (Citadel for instance offers execution services).

Execution traders (and algos) entire job is to get in/out of large positions with the minimum amount of slippage. They due this by a lot of different techniques but at the minimum they will break up the position into lots of small orders across a variety of exchanges, dark pools, partners and other venues. Good execution traders will use their volume to create momentum swings in the symbols they are working on to get better prices than they would with small volume (running stops, filling in thin layers, etc.). It’s a constant cat and mouse game between them and the market makers.

But you don’t need to be a good execution trader to unload into GME right now, its effectively free for a manager like MUST. There were price levels getting cleared of hundreds of thousands of shares at a time yesterday. All this retail volume and the blown up price means that someone wanting to clear a ton of shares has ready buyers who are not price sensitive. And with so much ROI on their books they don’t need to sweat small slippage like they might in a less overbought symbol.
Yeah I have to say if TSM2 had been maintained I'd still be using it. It was badass. Remember that green thread car traffic demo? That was cute. It's unfortunate the tyranny of C never let M2 break through. Opinion is that the software world would would be in better shape now if M2 had gotten a real foothold.

your average unix program, esp. something like postgres which has been developed for literally decades, will basically spread itself into well defined compile-time locations which are easily removed by any competent package manager or even competent manual build (touch package.stamp && make install && find $prefix -cnewer -type f package.stamp > package.file-list )

It's only 'random' if you don't know what you are doing. Containers are fine and often good, but their existence/availability doesn't 'supercede' real knowledge.
(My experience is with amazon.ca) Amazon is filled with the kinds of deception that the article discusses.

I dont have prime and the whole UI is set up to trick me into getting prime.

I always buy enough to get free shipping (which they show with a big banner), but it always defaults to paid shipping, that often needs to be removed item by item.

More often than not, books I search for default to kindle, and I have actually been tricked into buying a kindle version before.

They hide the fact that you are buying from a reseller as much as they can.

I could go on, but the point is I agree with you entirely.
We had time of use in Ontario, but recently got rid of it. It hurts the poor more than it saves electricity.

4-9pm might be the only time I have to do laundry and cook, two of the most energy intensive tasks, if I’m working a 9-5 job that requires me to be physically present. I can’t do it during the day and sometimes I can’t do it on the weekend because of other obligations. So now I’m landed with a “tax” that I have no ability to avoid.

And then you drive to Rodeo drive, where stores have their doors wide open in 100 degree heat, while their AC is on full blast, and wonder why the fuck you’re stuck paying the energy tax.
I agree I should have used "valid" when I used "sound". I also clarified what I meant by "logically sound". I further stated that I was using my parlance when I used "logically sound".

What is interesting is that the responses to me have been about the meaning of sound argument and I never used this phrase. I used logically sound. Do you personally think logically sound and sound argument mean the same thing? I'm asking out of curiosity.

EDIT: Private languages and the acknowledgement of them is not useless. It's a basis for being able to clarify things without a discussion devolving arguments over definitions of words. We all have slightly different ideas of what certain words mean.
I am still skeptical about crypto, at least in its current form: What problem does it solve?

It has failed as a payment system, as a currency, as a reserve currency, a remittance channel, a timestamping service, a settlement layer, a bank for the "unbanked", a cypherpunk liberator, a money laundering tool, a drugs-by-mail tool, a unit of accounting, a store of value, and as a "disruptive" fintech technology.

When I think of crypto/Bitcoin, I am reminded of Warren Buffett's view on gold:

> Today the world’s gold stock is about 170,000 metric tons. If all of this gold were melded together, it would form a cube of about 68 feet per side. (Picture it fitting comfortably within a baseball infield.) At $1,750 per ounce – gold’s price as I write this – its value would be $9.6 trillion. Call this cube pile A.

> Let’s now create a pile B costing an equal amount. For that, we could buy all U.S. cropland (400 million acres with output of about $200 billion annually), plus 16 Exxon Mobils (the world’s most profitable company, one earning more than $40 billion annually). After these purchases, we would have about $1 trillion left over for walking-around money (no sense feeling strapped after this buying binge). Can you imagine an investor with $9.6 trillion selecting pile A over pile B?

[…]

> A century from now the 400 million acres of farmland will have produced staggering amounts of corn, wheat, cotton, and other crops – and will continue to produce that valuable bounty, whatever the currency may be. Exxon Mobil will probably have delivered trillions of dollars in dividends to its owners and will also hold assets worth many more trillions (and, remember, you get 16 Exxons). The 170,000 tons of gold will be unchanged in size and still incapable of producing anything. You can fondle the cube, but it will not respond.

Perhaps it's just the current implementations of 'crypto' that are lacking, and a Crypto 4.0 will get the details right at some point in the future so that it because useful.

SIMT became an abstraction that was lowered to SIMD at compile time to instead being the abstraction used when targeting the underlying hardware.

> Furthermore, the PTX is substantially similar

PTX is just a (forwards-compatible) intermediate representation.

> The per-thread instruction pointers is pretty transparent in most code

Except control flow divergence, which is what changes there, yes.

> Although, I guess both of those GPUs can laugh at AVX512, where the execution masks are explicitly handled by the assembly programmer. But I don't know if explicit execution masks is necessarily a bad thing (its the job of the compiler instead of the decoder or whatever...)

That's a very good question. AVX-512 with its masking abilities was substantial progress over AVX2.

For a CPU, having secondary instruction flows just for the vector units just isn't a (reasonable) option though.

If there wasn't the 10nm issues, the next Xeon Phi would have been very interesting on that front. You might also want to look at the Fujitsu A64fx on the Arm side, used in Fugaku. (building a supercomputer with just CPUs, no GPUs)

We'll see what will be there in the future... will certainly be very interesting.
You'd think so, but in practice my electric car is less efficient going over the mountains than driving a flat stretch.

So yes, they will be able to recover some energy on the way down and reduce wear on brakes, but they'll have to make sure their batteries are up to the task.
After years spent with Linux, then with macOS, my solution has been to finally move to Windows 10. My linux subsystem is as stable as I want it to be, I have full control over it. It takes a bit of time to get used to the Windows world and find the good GUI tools, but once you get more familiar with it things work ok. And Windows doesn't break my system with every upgrade the way macOS does (the things that change over time are mostly UI updates, not fundamental changes).

That's not for everybody, but after ~1.5 year I can say I'm satisfied with my choice, WSL has really been a game changer.
You can just define them as functions that are part of the class.

Something like:

@dataclass
class AuthMethod:
credentials: typing.Any
cache: typing.Any
apply_to_request: typing.Callable[[typing.Any, typing.Any, Request], None]

@dataclass
class AuthMapping:
method: AuthMethod
matches: typing.Callable[[str], bool]

class Client:
root_url: str
url_format: str
auth_methods: typing.List[AuthMethod]

def auth_request(client: Client, req: Request):
applies = filter(client.auth_methods, lambda x: x.matches(req))
if len(applies) > 1:
raise Exception("multiple auth methods found")
elif len(applies) == 1:
method = applies[0]
method.apply_to_request(method.credentials, method.cache, req)

Then you would statically define your service's auth methods by URL, so users can just do:

my_client = Client(auth_methods=MyServicesAuthMethods)

or you can create a helper function like:

def create_client_a(base_url: str):
return Client(base_url, auth_methods=[...])

Alternately I think you can use closures, but I'm not totally positive about the scoping.

AuthMethod = typing.Callable[[Request], None]

def auth_method_a(username, password) -> AuthMethod:
my_token = None

def __auth_method_a(req: Request):
if my_token is None:
my_token = do_login(username, password)
req.headers['token'] = my_token
return __auth_method

That creates a standard interface (a function that accepts a Request), without assuming anything about the underlying protocol.

With a mindset like that, you should stop paying taxes since the bad guys benefit from federal government as well.
Amazing marketing fodder for any startup that wants to create a better educational system.

Also, they should read A Mathematician’s Apology (and the irony that came when Hardy’s work became applicable :P)

Pure math has brought so many amazing things: culture, intellectualism and straight up useful technology. For a university to ditch that means to me they’re not a university.
Thanks for letting us know and we will fix it on our upcoming release.
Serious question for someone that understands securities law: Is WSB essentially a crime scene for a widespread market manipulation fraud and conspiracy? From what I've read on the SEC site:

"Although some short squeezes may occur naturally in the market, a scheme to manipulate the price or availability of stock in order to cause a short squeeze is illegal."

I always thought of the volt as twice the complexity, twice the responsibility.

You still have to keep track and change the oil, and the coolant. You still have a water pump and spark plugs and all this other stuff to keep track of.

AND you have all the EV worries like the battery.
To be honest I don't know much about cars, but aren't they just water mixed with some concentrated chemicals? I don't think there's anything special we put in our Chevy

I'm a little bit confused about your question - I thought you were asking about liquid cooling for EV charging stations? If you're talking about EVs themselves, coolant loops for electronics might be pretty reasonable
If someone is making an argument with obviously invalid logic, then I think it's reasonable to not continue the conversation if they are unwilling to present a logical argument.
It will be interesting to see if there are any incentives for vehicle owners or manufacturers to adjust charging times across the grid. For example, all Tesla's in a time zone could communicate and decide which random hour they would begin charging that night so everyone doesn't hit at 2am. My iphone now doesn't charge immediately at night as it understands my typical schedule and just ensures the phone will be full when I wake up. I expect similar capabilities for electric vehicles.
I'm skeptical..

From the press reporting it seems that the EU was the source of delay. UK and US had no data sharing. The Israeli data sharing is because both parties want more granular information on the vaccine's effictiveness over time and by age and other health demographics. It has nothing to do with the speed at which the delivery was agreed, as evidenced by the numerous other agreements signed without such programs with US and UK.

"Meanwhile, the Commission’s negotiations with producers of mRNA vaccines were dragging on. COVID-19 didn’t just lend urgency to the negotiations: Talks were held virtually, adding an intangible complication. Austria’s Clemens Martin Auer, the chair of the member country steering board for the negotiations, remarked in late August that he had still never actually met Gallina in person — though he was by then a committed fan.

Talks with American companies, especially Pfizer and Moderna, proved especially thorny: Both reopened aspects of the contracts that had already been determined when the companies, in the view of the Commission official close to the negotiations, thought they had a bit more leverage."

The real squeeze is when the rest of wall street saw blood in the water, after Monday. This was not in the hands of WSB after that point. Big names got involved, and destroyed those funds.
I don’t think so... if WSB is being criticised for market manipulation, then so should be hedge fund managers. Everyday we see institutional investors setting new price targets for certain stocks—which definitely drives up the price. People are just criticising WSB since newbie investors backed dumb stocks.
Yes, and probably already does.
