Exactly. In 2020 the 10400f was about 40% more expensive; now Intel is forced to lower the price of their entire lineup to compete against AMD. These days, at most performance tiers, Intel+mobo combo are slightly cheaper than AMD's equivalent.

Of course, Intel's CPUs have less PCIE lanes, no ECC support, lessor upgrade path, generates more heat, etc.

Finally my old desktop was Intel and I am working on a lot of kernel/VM stuff. I don't want to switch architecture halfway. I did that before and it was painful.

Actually, trying to build audience from HN is not a very good idea, because the value of HN is that it is a community-curated content mix, and chances are it's readers are more than satisfied with it's volume and quality.
On a 2560 x 1600 screen showing 8-bit RGBA, a single full screen buffer would be 15 MB:

(2560 * 1600 * 4) / 1024 / 1024 = 15 MB

So no, that is not huge for a modern GUI program.

By pure coincidence, after playing Star Control 2 when I was about 8, my family moved to Novato, CA - home to Toys for Bob - when I was a bit older. I ended up getting a temp contract job there on the Madagascar game when I was 19. Paul and Fred were great to work with and as far as I know TfB is still a great place to work.

I doubt that Paul and Fred would have actually disappeared to write the game, but the story is 100% Paul's sense of humor.
Why on earth would they give away their game for free?

That is definitely impossible. Fusion is a highly radioactive process, a large part of the fusion energy is emitted as high speed neutrons, which interact with any material they find and turn it brittle and radioactive. Even if they are relatively easy to shield from, the shield will pretty quickly become highly radioactive. Not to mention, these things will leak tritium - radioactive gas that is impossible to contain. It won't be in huge quantities, so it's not expected to be a major problem for power plants, but if it's running 24/7 a few meters away from you, that will likely change.

Not to mention that a failure in the magnetic confinement could still spew plasma, which would definitelybe hot enough to kill or maim anyone close by.
I think so too; great example by the way.

It's either that or religion.
I can't find the link now but there is a company making still brand new CRTs and the owner has considered making some for gamers, however i doubt this will be a thing since - at least for now - CRTs are easy to find for very cheap and a limited run would be very expensive. Exception being the high end trinitrons and similar, but i doubt said company is making CRTs of that caliber (i think they're making TV-like stuff) anyway.

Perhaps in 20 years if they're still around things will be different though. After all CRTs do wear out from use.

> there are several operating nuclear waste facilities

22 sites.

Theoretically "actives" ones are:

- Olkiluoto which is in fact Onkalo (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olkiluoto_Nuclear_Power_Plant#... ) which is "expected to be operational in 2023." (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onkalo_spent_nuclear_fuel_repo... )

- Loviisa which is AFAIK a site dedicated to the local reactors(?), and only for "low- and intermediate-level operational wastes". Onkalo is the planned site, and is NOT active ( see https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-pr... )

- Wolseon (Korea) is for Low and Intermediate Level waste only (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolseong_Low_and_Intermediate_... ). Its total capacity (800k drums) is far away, as for now it only contains 100k drums (see https://www.korad.or.kr/korad-eng/html.do?menu_idx=37 )

- the "Waste Isolation Pilot Plant" (New Mexico) is, well, a "Pilot Plant" (doesn't come as a surprise). Moreover "The waste is from the research and production of United States nuclear weapons only", and only for 10k years. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_Isolation_Pilot_Plant ). In some dream one may deposit powerplant waste there, however back in reality...

"Back here in reality" (uh, uh) there is no active site in any huge nation which nuke-produces power for decades (US, France, Germany, Japan...) It will become more and more difficult for the public to believe that all this is perfectly managed, back here in reality.

> Do you realize that these figures include cleanup from nuclear weapons development?

Do you realize that the civil and military were so intimately tied during those phases that no one (even, in France, the supreme public finance audit authority, namely la 'Cour des comptes') can untangle the mess?

> Even if the pessimistic figures pan out

The UK had less than 20 nuclear powerplants and upon starting serious decommission they think that decommission costs will amount to at least £234b
Even if (at best) only ~1/3 (?) will be necessary for purely civil reactors and sites that's ~£78b (~110bUSD)

The US have 58 active nuclear power plants (96 reactors)
(see https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/nuclear/nuclear-power-pl... ), approximately 3 times more.
OU is legit. My pal did Physics, then got into an engineering masters at a good university, then did a data science for grads transition course.

Flexible course curriculum but it seems they give you the stamp you need to get to the next level, and perhaps more importantly, the flexibility to do it at your own pace. It may be that as you say you can pick your curriculum to be shallow, I don’t know the details I’m afraid.

I think a lot of roles just care about box-ticking; degree in CS or related STEM field. The recruiter doesn’t care where from if you tick the box. In some sense it’s BS, and Coursera may be the cheapest way to hack the system here.

My friend found it really rewarding and empowering to get his degree even though he took a detour to get it, so i can at least provide a third-hand vouching for the quality of OU from an educational content perspective, as well as passing the bar for credentialism too.

Caveat Emptor, I don’t have any positive or negative testimonials on Coursera for getting a job. And I’d actually suggest in software that you can get into the field without a degree much more easily than other STEM fields. But if you’re not in a tech hub then the credential might help you to get a foot in the door if you are otherwise struggling to see a way to do so.

Wait, this just looks like cryptographically signing pictures. What's so scary about that? You can do it today from your terminal if you feel like it.

I guess I agree that the 'trusted computing' stuff it seems like they're trying to do is a little scary, but the tech isn't really there yet, at least not on the desktop (look at the fiasco that is Intel SGX) and it's happening with or without whatever this CAI thing is.

I can't stand Bobde, but be careful with assuming that the accused guy in your story did anything wrong at all. These are all just allegations. IPC 498A is probably the most fraudulently applied law these days, along with other similar laws that Maneka Gandhi and her fellow animal rights exploit activists to target men. Knowing how poor the police investigations are, such scams are easy to pull off. Google "Maneka Gandhi Ramlingam" if you want an example. The audio is easy to find too. Besides, the police can make you admit to whatever crime they want.
Good point! Thanks for sharing
I haven't read the article (yet) but skimmed it. I do think you're right, but I also think the average person's tools to observe it are lacking. Like Plato's Allegory of the Cave. If someone had never experienced something like bodies of water and tried to explain it would be much more difficult that observing and touching. An abstraction that breaks down very quickly, like electron hopping theory, makes it worse.
This is anecdotal. There is so much evidence out there around toxic workplace cultures that are dominated by unsympathetic individuals. This is overwhelmingly the domain of men, and particularly white men. You cannot choose to ignore this just because you think others are like you, and can "handle it". Things like pay, promotions, harassment, and having your voice heard and much more are affected by these biases and cultures in workplaces. Please do not cite an anecdote that claims that your bias does not exist. I am bringing up gender and ethnicity because you have reduced so many people in this country to a person who thinks and speaks like you. This is not how the world works, and being cognizant that something that is just "straight talking" to you, can come across as dominating by someone else.

And I refute the idea that there is a divorce between the person and work. If that was the case, why do so many people suffer stress, anxiety and depression over their work place culture. Does workplace toxicity not occur to you? There is no divorce while people are marginalised, across all spectrums and walks of life.

Regarding dynamical systems, Neural ODEs hold promise as they are more analogous to the numerical solvers. I think with any dynamical system, purely data driven approach can be problematic because, as you say, the standard NN architectures are not great for it. You can however add physical constraints, e.g. minimize the Lagrangian as the objective function, to bring stability to these NN emulators.

Ask HN: Booking Holdings Inc is valued higher than before the pandemic. But why?
In late 2019, Booking Holdings (who run the popular booking dot com website) had a market capitalization of about $85 Billion. At that time nobody knew that a virus would lock down the world and make the travel industry grind to a halt.

Now we are somewhere in the middle of the pandemic. Travel was down to something like 30% in 2020 and bookings are still down to less then 50% this year.

Yet, Booking Holdings now has a market cap of about $95 Billion.

What is the reason? Shouldn't it be down a significant percentage? Say 20%? But it is more then 10% up. Did the Dollar lose 30% of its value? Or is something else at play here?

ECC RAM is more expensive - from a very quick search looks like 16gb ddr4 2666mhz would be about 30% higher price for ECC.

I've used non-ECC RAM for my entire life so far and bit flipping has never caused an obvious error for me, so if I'm going to pay more for ECC RAM I'd need a good reason to do so.

You are still at the mercy of Ryobi making that battery for the indefinite future. They have done so as of now, but there is no law or regulation stopping them from one day getting some new CEO who wants to make a few more bucks for the shareholders, and roll out a new battery tech all their customers have to buy. Profit is king, not your continued convenience.

Even if they keep the same battery format, you are now locked in to Ryobi and can't take your proprietary batteries and use them with a competitor's equipment, like you can with a standardized fuel like gasoline, or a standardized battery like a car battery.
That does indeed sound non-critical, how many names do you run into with equal signs in them?

That's the root cause of the problem. I seriously doubt the integrity of any system can survive the injection of trillions of dollars into the market. Schools want to capture as much of it as possible and that means raising tuition, dumbing down classes to make sure students don't drop out as well as creating fun but useless courses. It actually makes no difference whether students are learning anything useful or even if they're learning anything at all. They just need them to be enrolled in order to get those loans.

I don't know all the visa rules, of course. But if you're looking to relocate, you usually needs a visa, or some sort of citizenship. Sponsoring yourself isn't always an option, or might be fairly expensive.

The easiest way to relocate is usually to find a company that can sponsor your visa application, so that you're legally staying in the country, and can enjoy all the public services.

> Still, in spite of the distortions to the market, my impression is that it's still a functioning market, the barriers to entry are not very high, there's sufficient competition, and we are not in any danger of shortages. (Finding healthy food at a decent price may be another matter...)

I take issue with your conclusion, just look at the consolidation by the massive Ag-corps owned by big Pharma. Monsanto's purchase from Bayer is cause for extreme concern, but Dupont and Novartis via Syngenta are another massive corp which in tandem with Nestle repersent a large segment of food and water in the World, as well as seed stock.

The barrier of entry is hard, depending on which crop and partly why I got into Ag (biodynamic horticulture with an emphasis in hemp), but I'm proud to say that we have solved that problem in the US.

As for the price of food, we have never had cheaper food, actually and I'd argue this is holding back many more to enter the sector--prior to COVID we were making amazing progress in making more young, first time (small) farmers.

With that said, we are in a much better place then when I started all of this back in 2008, where farmer's markets were fringe and tech money flowing into a company like whole Foods was unthinkable, so I'm bowing out and letting the younger bucks take the helm and eagerly anticipate better results then what my generation did.
This was what I was going to suggest. This is what the Nix package manager does where folders are hashes of the build dependencies. In v2 they suffixed the package name and version number.

I've noticed that people tend to build systems like these using only hashes and it's only later in the project they realize it sure would be nice not to have to look this up all the time.
I wonder how it was shielded to prevent spurious signals from being injected.
I'm not sure it changed in a way that matters so much. You have 2 necessary groups you need to survive: the close mutual help group, people who will actually turn up at your funerals, wedding, help your kids if you die, shits like that. And you have the group of people you need to discuss things, change your opinion, teach you things, buy and sell to/from you.

So you want to talk "before", so let's say 1850 to go far enough.

For the first group, the affective partnership group, you had your family, often large and extended, and a few friends you met along the way.

For the second group, the social need group, you had you childhood friends still living around, your village, the other farmers around you, your clients and your trading partners (animal food providers, if you raised animals, stuff like that).

Your community, an American concept we don't have in French (in French it has a religious/isolated meaning like a monastery, I feel we would rather say "village"), I suppose would be the second one. People who depends loosely on you and on which you depend loosely (but you can switch, there's no personal feelings if you stop contact with part of it etc).

A forums on the internet, if you're an at home programmer, for instance, will be the same. You need some of them now, they're like a group of traders in your village you use to get stuff for your own farm. Now if you dislike their pricing or advice, you can change forum just like you could look for another group in the village before.

In short, I think your mistake is to expect community members in the past would go to your funerals (well there was a sense of duty in a village to do it because church, but it didn't mean people would cry at it or deeply miss you). A family and friends, a concept that has existed forever and still exists to this day, would and will.

And if you're not a programmer, the internet might be a lot less important, it may be to discuss guns for instance, and have fun comparing and sharing experience. But I guess calling that a community is more a PR move by people trying to sell you a social aspect to an experience, rather than a proper usage of the word to describe what the concept is. I'd call it an online forum, which is what these things are (the word has this underlying "discussion" meaning, in a multicast way)

It could be a way to neutralise the smell of a settlement, imagine long toothed hyenas visiting periodically your huts by night...

It is possible that a strong smell accrues over that time period and burning everything down is the only way they knew how to do this. Notice that the Jewish practice of putting lamb blood on your house door frame seems familiar here (albeit practically opposite).
Bigger code bases tend to use ways of imposing more structure while still using maps, like use of schemas (see malli & spec), standard patterns of passing down subtrees of the app's nested maps, using map destructuring in argument lists, etc.

Also good design and timely refactoring of said data structures to keep your functions from having to reach far into data.

You also decide what part of your tree should live in a database, supported by a query language. You can use SQL-based thins or Datomic and the many open source implementations of the same model. In the latter case it feels more like a "turtles all the way down" kind of thing.

But it's fortunately fairly rare for someone to actually be jailed. In my personal experience, it was the threat of jail time that dramatically escalated the stress of the situation.

I don't know why you think the journalist just made up their conclusion, but here are a few examples of people finding it insulting / offensive:

"The idea of throwing in a pun, though not a federal crime, is poor form at best and can be viewed as flippant and insulting."[0]

"He has singularly demonstrated the ability to offend everyone possible while reciting what he deemed to be a politically correct prayer calling for unity."[1]

"many are offended on behalf of their politics. ... Instead, let’s be offended and furious on behalf of our God."[2]

I personally think that undermining religious language and activities like prayer, by deliberately misinterpreting and butchering words, is offensive in the same way that burning a flag is (even though I don't think that should be illegal either).
