I don't have any numbers for you, but here's a starting source: https://hps.org/publicinformation/ate/q11162.html

Most of my knowledge of the subject is from a friend who did his PhD dissertation on it; specifically, triply-redundant adder circuits for single-bit operations, allowing for some rad-hard chip designs using regular foundry processes.
I suspect that your point is that "a Chinese device doesn't mean it's reporting to China." I think it's good not to make this assumption.

That said, I also think it's incredibly naive to think that a collection system wouldn't make use of a local proxy to mask the ultimate destination of the information. It's such a trivial task to do, and provides a host of benefits to obfuscate and sow doubt as to where the data is going and will be ultimately used for.

I'm not assuming that "it must be reporting back to China through a proxy!", but rather, the absence of certain national IPs in that list shouldn't be used to rule out scenarios either. An idea scenario for me would be that the device didn't call back period, or if it did, it did so to endpoints that could be authenticated and audited.
Do they need to be typical houses?

About 10 million cars are produced in the USA every year.
An RV/Trailer type thing is like a car - so quite easily you could imagine producing that many of these 'tiny houses' every year with car style factories.

About 600k people are homeless in the USA. That's about equal to the number of RV's produced every year.

So that solves 'physical' homelessness quite quickly if there was an effort to. (that disregards that some homeless choose to homeless out of mental illness etc)
Actually most of the third world has been progressing as well (with exceptions of course)
Of course it's not the first spike, but adding enough capacity to cover every spike in the future would mean far larger production than is needed for the vast majority of the time.
> why would anyone outside of China would voluntarily choose to run closed-source software from a company that's subject to domestic laws and regulations in China

Because outside US it doesn't really matter whether it's Chinese or American company that has your data.
Show HN: Tutorpass – Create online courses and build a learning community
I am working on an course creator and community management platform called Tutorpass.

I'm taking up beta sign-ups at https://www.tutorpass.io/. You can also follow me at https://twitter.com/jeansymolanza/status/1344617212699664387, where I am building the platform in public. Please follow me if you're interesting in following my progress or sign-up to the waitlist.

The idea came when I started thinking about the course creator ecosystem, and how their needs weren't being met. There are 4 types of people who you find in this space:

1. People who have the potential to create learning content, but don't know how: They often have deep insights in a particular field and share it spontaneously in passing. They need somewhere to experiment to put together learning content.

2. People who create learning content but don't monetise it: They need somewhere where they can easily migrate their content to. They need integration with payment channels to monetise their learning content. They need a framework for monetising followers.

3. People who create learning content but don't monetise it indirectly: They have created complementary services or products around their content. The hook to all these products and services is their learning content. As with the people in the previous cohort, they need somewhere to set up shop.

4. People who create learning content and monetise it directly: These are power users who are extremely knowledgeable about course creation. They need deeper integration with external platforms, along with better workflows.

I spoke to 4 people in each cohort (16 in total) to get more information about them. I then created an initial feature set for the Tutorpass MVP doing this.

The best way to think of Tutorpass is a combination of Circle and Thinkific/Teachable. I am looking to build an all-in-one platform that will allow anyone to create, build, discover and share better learning-teaching experiences.

Look forward to hearing any feedback.
Well thought demonstrably takes effort, a ridiculous amount of your bodies resources is spent on thinking, however it's hard to pin this down in a certain 'rate'.

You could probably show that calories and certain other resources get exhausted by concentrated thought, however in my experience this has little to do with speed of thought and everything to do with depth (the only times I truly felt mentally exhausted was when I was trying to dig up deeply buried fragments of memory to solve a maths problem).
r/Shuffles_Deck more like r/thathappened and everyone clapped
The TLDR is 'don't argue with woke, entitled, powerful/rich teens'. Especially don't do it by being nuanced in your usage of racial slurs - it will go over their heads and it's likely to bite you in the ass.
I have a Galaxy A21s now. It was just slightly more expensive than the Xiaomi i tried. Not sure how low end it is though.

Mind, it's strictly a development phone. It sits on my desk plugged in, unless I debug those Android apps. No sim card in either. My personal phone is an iPhone XS.
> Rather than determining if the current site has been submitted by querying the Firebase/Algolia APIs with every page you visit, the extension contains regularly-updating Bloom filters for all submitted HN stories to preserve user privacy.

Nice!

I built a pi-hole esque stub dns-resolver that uses Bloom Filters generated from hostfiles (60 MiB, 5M entries --> 2 MiB with 1% false positives) and it worked like a charm. At some point, I also looked into Xor Filters which are apparently even lighter and faster but couldn't find a JavaScript implementation for it [0].

I; however, stopped using Bloom Filters because its immutability meant building it over and over again which was a pain. Inverted Bloom Filters [1] or Spectral Bloom Filters [2] might have been useful since they can be updated in-place. Instead, I went for storing hostnames in a Finite State Automata [3], which while not as compact as Bloom Filters, could be updated in-place, are deterministic, and search faster. Likely not a fit for your use-case however.

PinSketches, otoh, might be a fit for accomplishing efficient set reconciliation [4] of the filters you're distributing.

Personally, I think amateur posters need to be verified somehow, but there's really nothing you can do to prevent the sharing of photos, but you just need to squash it on the major platforms to slow it immensely. Also, if the governments of the world went after revenge porn like copyright laws, it could take do a lot to push it out of the mainstream, even if not eliminating completely. I think the porn industry needs to do a lot more as well and they made their bed then shit in it by allowing unverified posting, so they're going to get fucked in that case.

Then again CUDA is pretty accessible language to program SIMD machines. I am bit sceptic if most people would recognise subjectively well-done SIMD language (lets say from correctness and performance standpoint). The programming model for SIMD is inherently parallel with exceptions for sequential code, which is pretty much the exact opposite of the programming you do on the CPU side. I'd somehow imagine most people would not find that modern at all, or alternatively, it would not be the language with "product market fit" since it's less likely to catch on. AMD or Intel may have a "better" language in some sense, but it seems most people prefer familiarity with what they already know.

This doesn’t sound like how iCloud, Apple Card, and Apple ID work.

I stopped paying for iCloud and it didn’t diable my Apple ID nor my Apple Card.

Also you don’t have past due iCloud accounts. You stop paying iCloud services stop working for you.

Sounds like something else is a going on here.
Oh hey, sorry to go silent!

I didn't mean to say you were evil, just mistaken!

As far as I know, yes, symbol interning was in the very first version of Lisp (though at the time symbols were called "literal atoms"). McCarthy wrote a HOPL paper which is worth reading; one of the source links in the Wikipedia article you linked is the relevant part of McCarthy's 1979 "History of Lisp" paper for HOPL. The comment thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26218426 points at some relevant papers from that epoch, as well as a runnable version of 7094 LISP, though of course not the very first version. Reading the Project MAC memos from that time (later retconned as AI Lab memos) is also very helpful, more for what they assume as implicit shared context rather than what they say explicitly.

It might be worthwhile to dig into the documentation on the earlier versions of IPL, which were the inspiration for LISP, even more than the λ-calculus: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/rand/ipl/ — IIRC my friend Norm learned the concept of linked lists from these documents. It wasn't something that was obvious at the time.

Also, there's an interview with McCarthy at https://www.infoq.com/interviews/Steele-Interviews-John-McCa... covering some of this time.
You assume people are investing that money. What I see is people having a lifestyle that is only possible with lended money. Those are expenses and not investments and put you in a position where a minor change in your expected income growth will deeply affect your lifestyle.

Highly inaccurate
But in context:

- Australia has similar laws.

- Snowden releases showed the US don’t even ask, they just take it.

So it’s not like there is a huge amount of difference around the world.
then you'd also claim that a parser generator grammer could also be implemented with functional recursion. so what is the value of the original claim though?
According to the person who got fired. That's not how the other people there describe it.
FUD.

Everyone is spouting TBW when percentage used is what manufacturer set to be the warranties lifetime. Go read the smart specs.

No one talking about NAND types (SLC,MLC,TLC,QLC) or one of the hybrid types (pSLC, iTLC, etc) which can be difference between 1k and over 100k P/E cycles.

My guess is this behaviour is (mostly) by design, using high bandwidth mass storage as some awesome high performance virtual memory.

Why are people complaining about 1-3% wear in 2 months when used as a dev machines, or running a hundred tabs in chrome? That’s still over 5 years usage within expected lifetime on very heavily used machines, and it could be even higher in reality.

> > From day one, the 2019 trip was very different from the 2018 one. The three leaders — who were with the students for a week before I joined — were different from the more apolitical “adventure tourism” leaders of the 2018 trip. The tone felt more like a big lesson in how to be an anti-colonialist and to romanticize indigenous medicine. … In 2018, some students and I spent hours trying to top each others’ bad puns. On the 2019 trip, talk at the table constantly turned to politics.

Well, it's an attempt at pseudonymity, not anonymity.

And it's a pretty weak attempt at that, too.

I don't know MIT but my first reaction is that number probably does include room & board, which in a college town might be $20k a year.

$50k a year in tuition is still not a bargain, of course.

> The disabling of iCloud, App Store, and Apple ID accounts is actually an Apple Card policy for overdue accounts

My understanding is that the Apple Card policy is referring to "account" as "Apple Card Account is issued by Goldman Sachs Bank USA", and not the iCloud account issued by Apple.
Is the second example (the auxv stuff in section 5.1) invoking undefined behavior in here "at_null−>a_type == AT_NULL"? As far as I understand, in C you really generally can not pull out valid pointer out of thin air like author is doing there. Isn't that the whole idea behind "pointer provenance"?

IIRC American companies (specially service companies, but surely also hardware companies) can be forced to introduce backdoors and other spying mechanisms and then force them not to disclose such a thing (i.e. Lavabit, Groklaw, Room 641 and equivalent Google and Facebook programms).

For us that don't live in the US or China, it is just a matter of choosing between two evils. And in being pragmatics, the 90% of the population outside of China and the US does not give a damn if the US or China are spying in their mundane conversations.
CUDA is still stuck with Nvidia only. So improving on that and on the language itself is clearly an open item.
I was wondering how long it would take until we got to the argument of "oh no, won't somebody please think of the unfortunate oppressed fascists! it's a good thing that xiaomi has phones and software for them, because their own local european government is against them".

The paradox of tolerance and an open society is that if you allow actual fascism to flourish (and Le Pen is absolutely a fascist, in my opinion), you risk ending up with something much worse in the long run.
And the reason the redirect is broken, more often than not, is because there's analytics sitting somewhere in the stack that's either not working properly because it's inherently brittle or because it's getting blocked by my adblocker.

I understand the need for analytics in some situations but registration, signin, recovery, etc are critical paths and every layer of indirection is playing with fire.

I'm sure you have your reasons but for me I feel like I have nothing to worry about from China living permanently outside of their jurisdiction.
I am using Xiaomi phone for roughly the same reasons as I am using Gmail.

I dislike results of either, replacement of both is on my oversized TODO list - and was there since at least two years.

I dislike that USA government, China government and God knows who else has full (partial?) copy of whatever I ever typed on my phone but I did nothing beyond selecting Android Zero, declining "send all what I typed to Google" and declining gloud sync.
