Very surprising performance from Hynix, given their previous low profile.

They are the only PCIe 3.0 contender, yet beat Samsung an almost everything, but raw latency, and throughput.

They are indeed limited just by the PCIe 3.0 ceiling.
Do you people realise the there are whole generes of games,where beautiful graphics is a serious advantage, but low latency is not?

Like, 600 ms latency is still 100% acceptable and enjoyable.

And not only graphics. Turn-based strategy genre can also benefit from gigantic ram and cpu resources - all to make ai smarter, more enjoyable to beat the ever.

I think stadia and cloud gaming in general is a gold mine. But it is a different platform, games should be optimized for it.
Just skimmed, but isn't collision detection in sprite hw usually incorporated in the overlay logic instead of just checking coordinates? If you have round sprites you don't want them to collide as rectangular shapes. The logic of collisions at the pixel level is more intuitive as well.

Did you look at the sprite implementation in the various C64 and Amiga FPGA re-implementations? I haven't, I'm a bit curious on how they do the pixel merging (the trivial implementation I think is a prioritized 1-8 mux controlled by some priority selection logic)

I would assume that Amazon's offering is targeted at customers who already using other AWS services. So even if a Mac Mini costs $500 per month more, it's really not that big of a deal considering how much the bureaucracy of signing up with a new hosting provider would cost in a big company (e.g., legal, infosec, ...).
A trillion would need a decent amount of automation that has not yet been invented, and that same automation would make quintillions possible even just in this solar system.
This is like saying “for people without hypertension blood thinners don’t treat the hypertension”.

Stimulants will help anyone focus, ADHD diagnosis or not.

To refocus the conversation, the specific trope I see again and again is “stimulants will make a person with ADHD calm and a person without ADHD hyper”, which I do not believe is true. If there’s a paper that provides evidence for that I’d still love to see it.
So, how rich is your dad?

Because unless it was "can drop quarter of a million dollars or more" rich, then no, in the US he would've just been sent home to die.

The existence of a public healthcare system running at capacity is not evidence the US system "doesn't have this problem". Being denied treatment because you can't afford it is objectively worse then being denied treatment because the system is busy.

One problem is fixable.

EDIT: And also, unless your brother has had a major health event, then the reality is he has no idea whether his insurance is any good.

The funny thing is that your low effort zinger is factually wrong. Something you'd learn in second year compsci:

>In computer science, a universal Turing machine (UTM) is a Turing machine that simulates an arbitrary Turing machine on arbitrary input. The universal machine essentially achieves this by reading both the description of the machine to be simulated as well as the input to that machine from its own tape.

Debian moves to merged-usr only in next release (“bookworm”)
“The Brythonic tribes of pre "Roman times" and the tribes prior to them traded in iron and much more for millenia with peoples at least as far as the Med sea.”

Feel free to correct me, but whenever I read about goods traveling this far that early in time, I think it’s more likely “they traded with people who traded with people who... people as far as the Med sea”. Direct trade is possible, but IMHO less likely for the time than a series of trade hops.

On the other hand, we occasionally find human remains very far from their place of birth. That shows people did travel that far. Expensive goods likely also were traded over larger distances than cheaper ones because there were fewer buyers for them.
To put it mildly, this hasn't been my experience.

Inflation is only 2% because CPI is bullshit. CPI keeps getting changed so it would be 2%. There are no realistic housing options in there anymore, nor education, nor healthcare, nor ... and if you reinsert those inflation has never been below 4% per year.

While I've gotten above inflation pay rises, they have been exceptions (and due to exceptional performance, ie. usually more than 8h/day for quite a while).

Besides, it is very obvious that modern states and central banks are using inflation to minimize/eliminate the effect of debts on the actual economy. Given what has been going on, how can you realistically defend any other position?

Btw: given what has happened to these debts, you can safely bet your right arm that real inflation is going up to at least 5.3%. And that was before COVID-19 measures.
Still, it's important to know the story for two reasons. One, to realize that the "luddites" according to current meaning of the word never existed. Second, to realize that the people historically called "luddites" were fighting for the same reason communist revolutions happened, for the same reason you have a good chunk of world's population hating the elites (and arguably for the same reason many prior historical revolutions happened) - and it has nothing to do with technology. It's all about economic insecurity, about being poor, suddenly becoming poor, or being afraid of suddenly becoming poor, all while seeing fruits of your labor accumulate in your economic superiors' laps, and then trickle upwards towards the even more wealthy.
vopono - a tool to run individual applications through VPN connections on Linux: https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono

I wrote it based on some scripts I had, and then added Wireguard support and configuration generation.

I'm now working on making a proper backend so it can be used as a library (i.e. to run a few requests through different VPN connections, e.g. for web scraping for websites with geolocation-sensitive content), and also to learn a lot more about Linux system calls.

Eventually I'd like to expand that to use the network namespaces and firewall rules to allow for different virtual network configurations so I could use it for testing out distributed systems development too.
Nice to see them on hackernews, I've been using their service for the last 2 months no issue so far.

They even have an issue tracker answered by humans for all my inquires.

Intuitive UI! Hope they keep growing, it'd be nice if they had some cluster outside europe as well
If you're a small operation, maybe. If you're a big company you probably want to have a service, not extra hardware you have to manage, and the rental cost is a rounding error for your software development costs.
Perceval: Software Project Data at Your Will
Massively simplifies the build process, especially for cross-compilation. You can just build the binary, copy it over and run it, without having to ever touch containers, or having to worry about sysroots.

You can go ahead and do the following on your Mac:

GOARCH=riscv GOOS=linux go build

to build a binary that just runs on Linux on RISC-V.

Not really. Each card would only get 8 lanes. Then no more then two NVME drives will work in the storage card and that only if the board has bifurcation support.

For PCI-E 3.0 i can recommend a card with a Broadcom PEX 8724 controller. Works well with 4 drives and is not much more expensive. The fan is horrible:

DNT Internet Explorer 10 default setting controversy
Capitalism only optimises with freely available information. As long as I know you don't have a share, and the market as a whole knows you don't have a share, then yes, it's not fraud. The fraud is you decide (with your cabal) to appear to have shares, you don't announce to the market "I'm selling 5% of STONKS but I don't own any STONKS [yet]". When I buy from you there's no shares that I bought.

It's not fraudulent if you don't have the coffee, as long as you make public that you don't, "I do not own any coffee, but will sell you a delivery of coffee for August".

Now, if you're selling share in ownership of a company, IMO it's right to disallow - by law - representations of ownership of companies that are not backed by numbered shares. It's not coffee, you can only own shares in the company itself, you can't get those shares from other origins it's not a commodity.

You make a post-harvest offer to sell me coffee from a particular plantation, then you arrange for the media to report that plantation's coffee is really inferior, maybe not even drinkable - something you had arranged in advance, of course. Tell me, why is this good for society? Now, you advertise, with your friends, lots of coffee available at low prices (after all the media said it's inferior coffee), only thing is you're offering more coffee for sale at low prices than there is coffee from that plantation ... that's driving the price down, there being lots of coffee noone wants ... only it's a lie, a trick, a fraud, just so you can manipulate the price. And now, oh look that plantation has gone out of business and you managed to buy them coffee I ordered for essentially nothing. Wow, you added so much value to the World by destroying the livelihood of that coffee plantation's workers.

I made a web app which gives you a breakdown of an image's color distribution. Lets you pick color schemes from a subset of the image's colors (specifically, those which form a convex hull, when visualizing the colors in RGB color space).

https://image2palette.app

(Note: There are still some issues with showing images on iOS browsers)

I mainly made this to satisfy my own curiosity. I had the idea of forming a convex polytope based on an image's colors, and I thought it would be cool to be able to explore that in a responsive way through a graphical UI. Also it was a great way to learn Svelte and ThreeJS, which in many ways work rather well together! If anyone is curious to see the source code, I'm happy to link it too.
JP from Opstrace here. Great questions!

> Are you doing anything to improve log search versus an Elasticsearch cluster, for instance?

No. You're right, Loki is not designed for building up an index for full-text search. The premise here is that you won't typically need that and that in exchange for not having to build up that index, you get other advantages (such as being able to rely on an object store for both payload and index data!). If, on the other hand, in special situations, you need to "grep-search" your logs, this is absolutely doable with Loki! Loki does not neglect this use case. The opposite is true; everyone is already excited about the performance characteristics that Loki already has today when it comes to ad-hoc processing full text. For example, see https://twitter.com/Kuqd/status/1336722211604996098 and definitely have a look at https://grafana.com/blog/2020/12/08/how-to-create-fast-queri.... I'm sure Cyril is happy to answer your questions, too!

> how are you contributing to the upstream projects?

We're reporting issues and try to contribute as much as we can! Of course, this effort has only started. So far, we've contributed to Loki's Fluentd plugin (https://github.com/grafana/loki/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ajge...), and our testing efforts have helped reveal edge cases; see for example https://github.com/grafana/loki/issues/2124 and https://github.com/grafana/loki/issues/3085.

We're excited to substantially contribute to both Loki and Cortex in the future!

> IMO the most embarrassing problem in physics is people pushing non-falsifiable, unscientific theories (multiverse)

The Big Bang itself is a non-falsifiable, unscientific theory. We cannot prove it happened in the way we think it might have. The Big Bang created a universe of cause and effect, yet has no cause itself. All known laws of physics fail to work in the early moments of our existence.

If you have a giant pile of data already in AWS, that you need to use on a Mac for a short time, it may make more sense to rent a Mac next to all your existing data, rather than paying exorbitant transfer fees to get the data to a Mac elsewhere.

AWS's transfer fees are a massive lock-in.

The US in fact did have a serious problem with nuclear warplan targeting during the Cold War - there was essentially never a reason you could give to take a target off the list, so the plan for a good deal of time was essentially something like "hit every single conceivable target several times" (to account for failed bombs or losses en route).

It was actually one of Dick Cheney's initiatives to create a process which would remove targets from the nuclear warplan's to get the number of weapons used down to a manageable number - and end the feedback of "oh no we've assigned all the weapons - we need more weapons in case there's more targets".

EDIT: A critical element with nuclear warplan's is that you don't have one bomb per target - you generally have several bombs per target via different delivery systems with different priorities, because the key element of MAD is survivability - there has to always be a guarantee in your adversary's mind that they cannot destroy enough capability to create a winning scenario for them.

A suite of realtime chatrooms, for travellers to talk about their flights, and the airlines that run them.

The idea is to let the use enter their flight details into a search box, find the chatroom for their flight, and let others know what's on their mind.

Before the pandemic, me and my wife would travel to see family often enough to experience the mind numbing frustration of sitting in a cabin of a delayed flight. In some case, for hours at a time.

We were also shocked at how often airlines will change the T&C's, often to the detriment of the customer. Especially in regards to seating plans (separating friends and family), and baggage allowance.

I wanted to do something to help customers challenge airlines on such issues and, where possible, discuss solutions amongst themselves.

Techwise, while simple (Elixir, Vue, CouchDB), I think it works well. But the marketing side of it has been tough... It hard to know where to start.

Not sure if the idea is bad, if the timing is off (pandemic) or the execution needs improving in someway.
The American obsession with cleanliness dates to the 1950s, so I'm a little confused as to what your argument is here.

> that the amount of evidence that does exist

Such as? It would be nice to see some actual evidence and not simply guilt by association.
But "i.e." doesn't lead to a "comparison", it leads to a restating of the same thing.

Take a look at a car (i.e. an automobile).

Take a look at a car (e.g. a Nissan).

Sounds great, but I will not go for this the second time, Scaleway.

Two years ago I purchased a server there, configured everything and started handling workload. Then I received the following email:

Our support team created a new ticket associated to your account.
Hello,
Your instance 'REDACTED' is running on a hypervisor that encountered a critical failure. We are not able to power on the hypervisor again. We were not able to recover your local files located on your LSSD.
Your node has been stopped. If you created snapshots of the server's volumes or if you halted your node recently, you will recover your volumes at their latest good state.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes, some software will need to be updated, and no there's nothing preventing this functionality in Wayland.

Consumers would be reasonable to assume that design will be rife with wear and tear issues.
This is completely the opposite of my experience. I've been running Wayland on Pop OS since last year and it has been great.

X11 had horrible tearing on external rotated screens - Wayland fixed that.

Colour temperature changing works.

Screensharing works just fine on Chrome and Firefox. I use it every day.

Screen recording works with Gnome's built in recorder.

I'm sure there are a few esoteric bits which don't work - but I've had nothing but success with it.
> Err. What? I don't want Wayland. I want Xorg. But thanks for your comment.

The glove is on the ground, Xorg is getting abandoned, anyone who needs Xorg in their life can take up the mantel and continue developing and maintaining it. I for one prefer Wayland since it has an architecture that allows for security (not that the protocol enforces security by default).

Problems happen. Did you contact support and ask for a refund? How did they respond?

If the PSU failed, there's not a lot they can do to prevent a critical failure. (Sounds like the drive failed in this case.)
There isn't a demand because the average user doesn't know. Of course they would mostly pick the app without spyware if the were asked, but they are not.
If you accept failure that easily, you will never try hard to turn anything around.

You need some sort of balance between the two.
Can't help but point out the two of them would have been better off investing that money. With a 3% interest rate they both would have doubled it in 25 years.
