Rocket Lake was designed for 10nm, but Intel couldn't get 10nm to work, so they backport Rocket Lake to 14nm.

Just filter out Charlie Demerjian's grudge against Intel.

Companies don’t backport because a core is designed for a process. It’s efficiency and architecture is based on the transistors that it will use from the design start, caches are sized based on the process too, and a lot of the architectural gains are due to the added transistor counts. If you backport a CPU you lose the efficiency of these new transistors so the energy use goes up and the clocks likely go down as well. Cores take up 2x the size, or at least a lot more than the older core did on the older process, so costs go up too. You can either cut out bits of the core and lose performance or eat it on area and therefor cost. Backporting a design not made for portability isn’t a lose/lose proposition, it is a lose/lose/lose/lose proposition. But Intel is desperate so…
Is the "cloud" with armies of above-average developers, SREs/ sysadmins/ systems engineers and security specialists really the solution or is the solution to actually sit down and make simpler systems that a few skilled people can fit in their heads and actually understand?

I made my comment two weeks ago, describing a fall in mortality that began three weeks prior. The z-score of mortality for Israel peaked as I described in my last post, and has continued to fall. The 65+ group in particular is well within historical norms.

I'm sorry you still think it's a speculative mania. Optimists don't go out of their way to put down things that are seemingly useful to others. Just because you don't find it useful doesn't mean it's useless. Bitcoin is a decentralized, non-state asset and the market is valuing it appropriately, and it will continue to do so.

What you seem to be saying is that the market participants are idiots and are in a state of mania, and that you somehow "know better" than them. This is equally bad, maybe HN rules should add this in too, because the condescension is tiresome.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to "caution" me about the way I write my posts on here and point me to the rules, but I'll have you know that the "fake points" I gained were a (large) order of magnitude greater than the "flagged" posts.

Have a nice day.
> Why are the teachers basically heroes for letting a student to the next grade while he's failing that much?

Promotion policy is probably administrators, not teachers. (There are other reasons, like the lack of apparent attempted active contact from teachers despite the number of failed classes, absences, etc., why the teachers here are not heros, but promotion policy probably isn't something they control.)
I mean auth0 can be eaten that does the default thing (login for web/app/is/tokens etc) without config. For some reason auth0 makes all of this extremely configurable and it’s 99% confusing and unnecessary!
It's kind of crazy to see a tech IPO that doesn't come with the boilerplate "we make zero profit, we've never made profit, and we have no idea how to change that in the future" caveat.

It doesn't have anything to do with which topics one holds dear. Small governments would not tell you you can't smoke weed, or buy alcohol at certain places or certain times of day, or cities can't create their own municipal fiber ISPs, or gay people can't get married, or women can't get abortions, or put under god in the national anthem and currency

If the system tries to force compliance, it is invariably attacked for disproportionately penalizing minorities (even if the penalties are proportionate to non-compliance rates). How is the system actually going to force compliance without being attacked as racist?

It seems very logical (however shameful) that the system would optimize for passively allowing students to age out of the system, as letting minority students fail doesn't have anywhere near as much blowback as fining or locking up disadvantaged people for truancy.
Remote code execution.

That has to be the most awesome hack I ever seen.
An army? There were 120 students in the class. Multiply by four classes and that's 480. Even if every student were truant a single truant officer could get to all of them within a single school year. Probably at most three or four of them would be all that's needed to stay on top of things there.
I strongly suspect the Marfa Lights (in Texas) are the land version of this exact phenomenon. In that case, car headlights looking like they are floating above the land horizon instead of boats over the water horizon.
You're totally right, I was confusing modifiers with Chinese's general looseness towards word class, a tendency even more pronounced in Classical Chinese [1]. That means what looks like modifier/preposition could be functioning as a verb instead.

So my mother-in-law just said '上海不在海上', i.e. 海上 is closer to the literal meaning of 'on top of the ocean (physically)', which the city is not.

Perhaps 上 here acts as a verb or gerund ((going up / on the way) to the ocean)? 下海 means 'going (down) to the ocean'.

The rabbit hole here can get deep (and thanks for drawing me in!), this book [2] goes in-depth about how word class and word order influenced one another as Chinese developed.

The electric ones i've seen are still damn noisy. If you want to make a fan worth a damn to move leaves and debris, you are gonna make some noise no matter how it's powered, evidenced by the fact that it's recommended to wear ear protection still with electric lawn care equipment.

The bigger issue imo is that we incentivize the wrong things. Money and time instead of quality and a job well done. It's faster to blow loudly than to rake silently. A silent landscaping company powered by reel mowers and rakes would clear less properties per man hour, but maybe there is in fact a market there for that premium, nearly silent service.
You're making a value judgment.

The reason this is dangerous is because the next step after blocking by default is asking why people want an exception. Before you know it, we're living in 1984 and we have no freedoms at all.
This. Floating point numbers, as they are lossy attempts to discretize continuous data, are more complex and usually non-deterministic. They should never be chosen when a non-lossy representation is available for the problem domain.
Fusion has long seemed unattainable, but now we seem to be approaching the point where we can actually build a useful reactor. Why wouldn't we use fusion if we could? It's a lot better than the coal and gas we're still using. Wind and solar will be a big part of the power grid going forward, but the installation costs are substantial and we'll need a lot more battery storage to fully transition to renewables.

Even assuming SPARC (or one of its competitors) works, it'll be awhile before the technology becomes mature and we can assess whether it's actually cheaper/better than fission or wind/solar/batteries. But from where we stand now it looks promising. Why the pessimism?
> The clear fuck-up I see on the school's part is the school moving him on to the next year's classes when he's failed the previous year so thoroughly.

Can you 'fail' a year of school? Where I am school years are based on age. You can't fail to get older so you can't fail to get into the next year of school.
Haha, I mostly stuck to Tungsten Ore... until I could buy a Centurion with 4X Tachyon Cannons. Then the world was MINE.

> This is just like EULAs - one more annoying thing they simply accept with a slightly bad gut feeling.

The point of GDPR is that they shouldn't have any bad gut feeling about accepting these terms - because anything even slightly shady, in any way beyond the most basic necessities for performing the service, must be opt-in by default, set to "no consent".

Alas, national data protection agencies are way too reluctant to chase the offenders and issue fines, so a big chunk of the sites on the Internet are breaking the law with impunity.
Speaking as someone from Europe - I would make the subject/major system much closer to the way it's done in American universities. Picking your subject before you even apply doesn't work nearly as well as the idea that you're going to university in the general sense and have some time to explore options. I admit that I could be biased because I personally would have benefited more from the American system.

This probably isn't what you're asking for but I wanted to highlight that even something simple like being able to pick your classes isn't an option in many places.

But you still haven't made a case for "the regular meaning" of racism, such that it makes what the other poster said "absolutely insane". To me, "absolutely insane" is a very extreme thing to say. The absolute insanity I've experienced in the past is on the level of believing your cats are microchipped by the CIA to spy on you. So when you characterize someone as "absolutely insane", and it's shown that there is credible scholarly research that supports their claim, I think you are under a burden to state your case at a higher level than pointing out you have friends in other countries who believe the same as you. You've made an appeal to popularity by pointing to your friends and making a leap to say everyone thinks like you and them. I also have friends in the above countries who do not think the same as you and your friends. Now where does that leave us? Nowhere.

Here's what I'm getting at. There is a difference between what you and I believe, and it doesn't come down to "absolute insanity". We can each make a logical, principled case for our positions. I implore you to open your self up to the other side instead of dismissing it with the vitriol you have exhibited.
“Hey, World ”

This is why people don't like nerds, it's like you actually want to fuck up this industry. The number of users that care about this is a rounding error. What you're talking about is increasing the complexity and flakiness of every product through modularization. Have you ever actually shipped a product for the general public?
Usually by the time your software knows fully all the things that need to be done, then you are almost done anyway.

One approach is to remember how long a similar task took, and present progress based on the expected time will be similar.
It sounds like the school is overwhelmed. Special protocols and interventions can't realistically be applied to the entire student body.
Agree, there is a linage. But to say they are similar because of that is like saying Fortan and Ruby is similar because of the shared heritage. Still useful to compare them if you have to.
No, it was already very well accepted that you shouldn’t throw white people in jail for crimes they didn’t commit. It was not well accepted if the accused was black. The challenge was to persuade people (many of whom were racists) to see the accused man as equal to a white man before the law, and deserving of the same treatment as a white man would have received. In other words, to persuade people to be blind to his colour in their assessment of the case.

There are plenty of novels about defending people against crimes they didn’t commit. This one is about much more than that.
What does this have to do with Dems? They don't go around advertising themselves as "small government", so they're irrelevant to the discussion.

I took Geoff Hinton's Coursera course on neural nets when it was first offered and it was incredible. No exaggeration to say it changed the course of my career. That's all to Geoff's credit of course, not Coursera per se. But the idea that you can get instruction from the world's foremost expert in a topic rather than whoever your university happened to hire, or even if you're not in university at all, is pretty disruptive.

This game, its sequel, and Privateer helped me thru a very tough time in my life.
We don't know that was the case - and can very likely assume it's not the case.

Progress reports show the number of absences and late days (at least all I've seen). So do semester grade reports. It's extremely unlikely a present and engaged parent doesn't notice report card after report card coming home with C's, D's and F's, and hundreds of absent days piling up.

The article even states the parent claims to have been aware of all the failing grades, but somehow assumed her son was doing fine because he graduated to the next grade? How is that even remotely possible and not a major point of concern?

What we likely have here is an absent parent complaining that someone else didn't raise her child correctly.

Nobody ever claimed being a parent is easy... and working 3 jobs isn't an excuse to check out of your parental responsibilities.
I think the school’s to blame here, too, but it isn’t necessarily _that_ bad.

“50% of days late or absent” can mean anything from being a second late every other day to being not at school half the days.

That’s a range from almost no absences down to 50% of them.
> In order to bring its best single core performance to the desktop market, Intel had to redesign its 10nm product on 14nm, which combines the high throughput of the design with the high frequency of 14nm

Is that just because they couldn't do it at 10nm? I thought the whole point of die shrinking was to get higher frequency, lower heat etc?
Oh yea, I was just thinking there are still limits to what 'safe' means though. My memory on the exact exploits was hazy so I had to look it up but I know it includes sending user defined data to the format string, which is not advised, but people do silly things all the time when coding which is why snprintf exists to start with. People can't be trusted to bounds check.

In my mind a safer version for daily use wouldn't support the more problematic format options but maybe other people use them far more widely than me.
Cool beans. :-)
No, that logic doesn't hold. Further, I think you're conflating two meanings of the word ideal. In the context of an ideal free market, the meaning is closer to hypothetical and is pretty far away from the sense of ethical or practical goodness. Also, it's not clear that an "ideal" free market is a stable equilibrium. And lastly, if an ideal free market permits the existence of corporations (I'm not sure that it does) then it must allow one to purchase another.
I'm just flabbergasted that Intel has Thunderbolt support integrated into it's mobile chips, but on desktop it's business as usual, left to motherboard vendors to implement Thunderbolt themselves with the normal slew of add-on chips.

Super frustrating that desktop users can't expect modern connectivity. It should be on the chip, like mobile. Notably, one can take any old TB4 cable, connect two modern Intel laptops, and get a 40Gbps networking connection between them. Alas, only a couple rare desktops will be able to participate & do this, because for whatever reason this on-chip capability that Intel has was omitted on desktop. I was so excited to be entering an era of enhanced connectivity!! Not yet, I guess.
It's OK, some of my friends are SEs!

Naw. Just this one. How else do you respond to some random: "Ever get a sunburn?"
What about the political fallout from pressing truancy charges against hundreds of minority students? Truancy, at least in my experience, involves fines and/or jail time.
If a place's main problem with their laptops is what type of hardware they selected they are doing extraordinarily well in my book. It's usually the 10,000 lbs of bullshit apps in the standard image and grossly inefficient means of dealing with users issues that create the performance issues or drive up department costs in the long run. Few workers really have much of a local performance need that they wouldn't notice if a raspberry pi came in as long as it was well maintained and behaved the same functionality wise.

At my previous employer they started to allow Macs and people were clamoring for them because they ran GREAT but after the first few thousand went out they started building up the amount of BS loaded approached being equal to the Windows ones and suddenly the satisfaction levels started to even out with the standard build. Chromebooks actually became very popular because they were even harder to be loaded with crap than Macs.
You have absolutely no clue what will happen or when.
To add to what the problem is not: the dedication of teachers, like others have said. I've known teachers from all kinds of public schools. Almost to the last, they are not just interested in but desperate for their students to succeed. (Often resulting in grade inflation and ill-advised passing.)

Also, most parents would really rather their kid succeed. It's easier for them that way.

What does it leave? The kids. They resist education because it's hard and involves work; that's only natural. Some more than others, though, and having TV and games competing with school these days makes that number a lot higher than the only other option was rolling a hoop with a stick. Unsuccessful students drag their whole class back with them, because again, the teacher wants them to succeed. So it looks like when you have a critical mass of failing students - 20% maybe? - you descend below the event horizon and the whole school becomes irredeemable.
> Nowhere did I imply education was a zero sum game.

You did, by implying that an emphasis on less privileged students harms more privileged students, and that this was in fact the goal of common core. You continue down this assumption further in your post.

> What I did mention was that students who were able to comprehend mathematics using the traditional arithmetic techniques were not getting credit for their work, because the education system was forcing a new thought model for learning elementary math.

The whole point is to demphasize lucking into or remembering the right answer, but demonstrating true mathematical understanding via different forms of symbol manipulation. Memorizing times tables doesn't help students when they have a computer measured in 10s to 100s of GLOPS in their pocket, but a deeper understanding of numerical relationships does.

They don't get credit for their assignment, because they didn't do the assignment, or fulfill the assignment's goals.

> The fact that this new model, Common Core, was specifically designed to reduce privelege[sic]

Giving less privileged children more tools to understand higher math takes nothing away from more privileged children.

> How does "everyone win" when students who understand math are failing tests because they're not using an absurd roundabout method of multiplying numbers?

Because the point of the assignment isn't teaching them multiplication, it's to teach them numeracy. Just because parents (and a lot of K-5 teachers) were failed in that regard doesn't mean we should lower the bar or continue teaching in ways that don't prepare students for the modern world.

With at least the weedwhacker I have, there's not really an option. If you hold the button down, it overheats. If you leave it up to long, it shuts off. As a result, any time I'm walking across pavement, or in between patches that need weedwhacking, I have to rev the stupid thing.
