With Apple holding a lot of cash offshore awaiting for a favourable way to onshore it, combined with the political eagerness to bring chip production onshore. Those two aspect may well pan out to a situation in which the accountants see it as a win win.

Even then, do Apple use enough chips to justify running a fab, let alone one that would be locked into the node of the time. I really don't see it happening for many reasons and the only reason they would - would be some tax break incentive to onshore some of the money they have offshore in that it pays for itself, win or fail.
almost all papers on arXiv are done in latex, you upload the source and they compile it on their servers. that’s a lot of papers! it’s most of math, CS, and physics, and some economics.

it’s probably true that most papers aren’t written in LaTeX but I’m confident most people writing in LaTeX are writing scientific papers.
It’s open source now and somewhat fragile / buggy. I haven’t been able to get it working on Linux yet but the FreeBSD port was quite easy to build.

Just like I contribute to the health care of people who got deadly ventral diseases through their own actions.

I mean, common, what’s your comment about? What are you implying? That you’re morally superior to the OP because you grant him a hospital bed?

By the OPs admission he does not need a shot, won’t need a hospital bed (look up the odds for young healthy people yourself), and by getting vaccinated he would be taking a shot away from someone who does. In fact, by not getting the shot in lieu of someone who needs it more, he’s lowered the EV of hospitalization.

I’m not getting the shot until every last senior in Africa, L. America, and South East Asia has been offered one. And I’ll very well take my bed at a hospital when I need it.

Crypto optimizations are no joke. My Pinebook Pro takes several seconds longer than my T430 to decrypt my keepassxc database.

Ethereum is also layered. ZK Rollups are later two and not related to the Ethereum devs. It's an isolated engineering later with lots of experimentation going on with optimistic rollups, ZK Rollups, state channels etc.

The problem with Bitcoin is that it's not technically sophisticated enough to support proper L2s which results in poorly engineered solutions like Lightning and centralized solutions like Liquid.

With Bitcoin more work needs to be done on L1 for the ecosystem to support layers above it while Ethereum could freeze development forever and still support flexible, fast, and decentralized layers on top.
Did anyone actually look at the machine code generated here? 0.30ns per value? That is basically 1 cycle. Of course, there is no way that a processor can compute so many dependent instructions in one cycle, simply because they generate so many dependent micro-ops, and every micro-op is at least one cycle to go through an execution unit. So this must mean that either the compiler is unrolling the (benchmarking) loop, or the processor is speculating many loop iterations into the future, so that the latencies can be overlapped and it works out to 1 cycle on average. 1 cycle on average for any kind of loop is just flat out suspicious.

This requires a lot more digging to understand.

Simply put, I don't accept the hastily arrived-at conclusion, and wish Daniel would put more effort into investigation in the future. This experiment is a poor example of how to investigate performance on small kernels. You should be looking at the assembly code output by the compiler at this point instead of spitballing.
I am seeing lots of spinning balls with 1Password on my 2015 Macbook Pro. Even just switching between fields with the keyboard brings up a spinner for two seconds or so. It's a recent thing I think. No other app has any issues.

I don't think there is a need to blur the line between a standard library and frameworks. Maybe @Inject should have been in the JDK, but on the other hand it can be added to any project easily and is supported by several frameworks.

In general I think, it is wise to keep the standard library small, because innovations are easier to implement in libraries. Rust is a good example for this style.

No. It was the literal word that was used not a strawman, which is an intentionally misrepresented proposition meant to be debunked.

How so? Why there should be a head of line blocking? This would be a simple multiplexing of the payloads.
These rules can be a hinderance during social conversations, where the goal is often to show that you understand the beliefs and practices of the in-group and to demonstrate your superiority through a command of humor or charisma, where the implied and non-verbal communication is possibly more important than the actual spoken words.
I didn't downvote, but my issue with your comment is that it assumes that all issues have two valid sides. Some issues don't. The earth is round, and the alternative view that it is flat should not be brought up in the discussion.

> They’ve vertically integrated everything else

What do you mean by this? Apple does very little manufacturing, they're famous for it.
What about other currencies? Stellar, Litecoin, Zcash, Monero, all the zillions of Ethereum tokens, and all the various other altcoins out there.
> I assume those folks aren't turning down SWE job offers to take administrative jobs

This is a reasonable assumption, though I'm interested what they classify as Office and Administration.

There could also be some confounding variables here. For example, perhaps black people are less likely to move across the country for jobs because they prefer to stay close to family (I.e. cultural differences).

Of course, the easy way out is to say that the system is biased against black people. Which might well be true, but we don't know that.

I think Asians are a very interesting example of the effect of culture. There is definitely strong cultural pressure for them to go into specific fields and be high achievers, so it's no surprise to me that they are massively overrepresented in the Computer and Tech field.

This is all to say: I agree it doesn't look great, but there could easily be hidden reasons for the large drop off in the funnel.

I have relied on Audacity for audio editing for 15 years and challenge all HN readers to join me in giving value for value to this project. In those 15 years I've used a few different paid products but I keep coming back to Audacity because it's power and simplicity allows me to speed through editing projects in less time than it would take me to learn other products... and it's good enough that I don't feel like I'm missing anything. My donation to the project is so long overdue!!!
Kalman Filter in Python
I know this may be very basic for a lot of you ML experts, but I just spent an hour learning and implementing a simple Kalman filter here: https://github.com/enochkan/kalmanpy and it worked :D pretty darn proud of myself

Please check it out and would appreciate any feedbacks.. my implementation is far from perfect and I plan on implementing more as my knowledge grows.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Maria

It’s not a coincidence.
Some systems can be configured where such that only one possible outcome is possible. In that case your prediction rate would be 100%.

So for example the loaded dice are programmed to always roll a 6. Thus the most predictable and ordered outcome (all 6s) is also the highest entropy state.

Entropy simply says that over time the configuration of certain entities within a system will progress towards higher probability configurations.

For most systems (like for example, non-loaded dice) the most probable outcome is a disordered state. But this is not the case for all systems.

Take our solar system for example. The most probable outcome for the configurations of all particles orbiting our sun is to form perfect spheres (planets). This is the highest entropy state of the system. The system by itself naturally progresses towards spherical configurations that we can only describe as ordered.

However, when people talk about entropy in terms of heat. Entropy is indeed in this case measuring disorder. But this is a very specific definition of entropy for one type of system and the more general definitions are the ones provided by information theory and statistical mechanics.
> At 1/3 the Cost of AWS/GCP

For on-demand this is true, but spot GPU instances can have competitive pricing.

At this moment, a p3.2xlarge instance (1 Tesla v100) is 92 cents/hr on the AWS spot market in us-east-1. The p3.8xlarge (4 GPU) is $3.62/hr.
Crypto is well beyond escape velocity by now. That ship has sailed. It’s a shame that here on HN, people who might be useful in making some estimations of where it might take us are all tied up arguing over whether or not it’a the right solution. People find it distasteful, and energy usage is not the only reason.
> Page 10 says this:

Ah, my mistake, was looking at the 10th page of the document, not page 10 of the document (no blame on your part here, I just hate that this is an ambiguity).

> The call was secretly recorded, then deleted, so the source knew or should have known this was false.

This doesn't follow. We don't know how many people were on the call, nor do we know that they all knew the call was recorded. We don't know who WaPo's source was. There are all kinds of possibilities where the person either was a second hand source (e.g. they weren't on the call, but were in the room when someone on the call, aghast, described it), or was recalling from memory having been on the call, but unaware someone recorded it.

> The wording changes the call from implying some vague kind of quid-pro-quo arrangement to overturn an election to making a complaint because he (wrongly) believed he was a victim of fraud.

It does not. Nothing was directly offered in either case. If you believed it was a quid-pro-quo before, you should still believe it. If you didn't before, than the headline doesn't matter.

Just to clarify, here are some things Trump said on the recording.

- “When the right answer comes out, you’ll be praised.”
- “whatever you can do, Frances, it would be — it’s a great thing. It’s an important thing for the country. So important. You’ve no idea. So important. And I very much appreciate it.”

If you thought there was a quid pro quo originally, Trump's words, as spoken, still support it. If you're looking for a way to excuse his actions, yes, this gives you a scapegoat. You can blame the WaPo for bad reporting, instead of Trump for committing a crime.

Notably however, WaPo didn't contend that Trump tried to negotiate a quid-pro-quo. They simply reported the facts, as best they could.

> Their source had a recording

This is, again, untrue. There's nothing to suggest that Frances Watson was WaPo's source. There's nothing to suggest that anyone who is not Frances Watson knew there was a recording.

> and in a criminal referral

And in the course of that criminal referral, the actual recording, which, to reiterate, isn't exculpatory, was found. What's your point.
This is so cool! And it's from 2013, thats amazing. A very similar printing method is being explored by MIT's Self Assembly lab, I think they first published in 2017 - https://selfassemblylab.mit.edu/rapid-liquid-printing https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/3dp.2017.0037

I think we need to try every iteration of every possible solution, not just the one we think will be the most effective, because everything we've tried so far has failed.
Totally agree. I was thinking he'd get there, and then the post abruptly ended.
The dependency chain is state += 0x60bee2bee120fc15ull or (state += UINT64_C(0x9E3779B97F4A7C15)); the rest of the calculations are independent per iteration.

Anyway, the more important fact is that 64x64b -> 128b mul might be one instruction on x86, but it's broken into 2 µops. Because modern CPUs generally don't design around µops being able to write two registers in the same set.
This is anecdotal and I don't have anything to prove it, but I really feel like my old spinning-hard-drive 2010 MacBook Pro woke faster from sleep running Snow Leopard, than the Retina models ever did (or the old ones did after a few software updates).

Of course for general tasks it was slower, but I really remember that thing waking up instantly when I raised the lid, every time.
I didn't prescribe any solution- I'm not advocating tearing down the structures in a symbolic act to try and placate people. I'm pointing out the fact that all Americans stand today on the shoulders of an ancestry which enslaved peoples, and which we bear the onus of eliminating the traces of that power imbalance from our society, not just saying "hey, we don't mean master THAT WAY, you know?"
The problem with institutional and systemic change is that it is affected by those who are in charge of those institutions, who are easily steered.

This person, the GP, now seems to be actively spreading disinformation.

I caught them claiming a complaint about efficacy in the Pfizer vaccine was about safety, after they put me down to try to make sure I didn’t read the study. I read the study and you can go look at my response[1]. The tell of the troll is that he never comes back to finish arguments....

The fact that HN thinks they have a handle on the disinformation here is laughable. This site was featured in a New Yorker article, does not filter out obvious propaganda, and allows anyone to say anything as long as its cordial. To think they could combat nation state level attacks with two people is ridiculous. This is a soft target.

The only thing we can do is pay attention to what our eyes and ears tell us.

Only in that they design it, not in that they build it.

In that area they have "vertically integrated" nothing.
Ah man, damn it! I spent 10 months in Australia, but most of it was during lockdown, and I didn't have a car. I only got 1 week of travel and didn't see much of the stars.

My best experience was in Fiji and New Zealand, but I imagine that the outback could be even better.

I've gone out to Mojave on super clear nights. Vegas is easily visible, almost like a sunrise. The Great Smoky Mountains look good on paper (light pollution map), but in practice they are quite clowdy / hazy, so viewing isn't good. I imagine northern Canada could also be quite good.

The previous post said "the enterprise" which makes me think of a singular organisation using all of them - maybe I'm misunderstanding, but why would a single org use more than one?
I don't know where you got the idea that I though sex is sinful. I only suggested that as a society "responsible" sex (sex that doesn't cause unwanted pregnancies nor get you sick with an STD) is a desirable outcome for society and people in general. Otherwise have any kind of sex you want with whoever you want.

The point is only that sexual media has an arguably negative influence on society and violent media does not so it's not irrational to find violent media non-problematic and sexual media to be problematic for kids.

The 10 year old can see porn and sex has plummeted does not mean seeing more porn = less sex. The world is complicated and there are plenty of other reasons there is less sex happening (assuming there actually is less sex happening)

As just one example, many people claim the reason there is less sex is people stay home and entertain themselves with the facebook/instragram/tiktok/youtube/twitter/reddit/video-games/netflix vs go out and socialize IRL. That could easily be the major factor in decline in sexual activity even if sexual media by itself influences kids to be more promiscuous.
I disagree that distributing wealth would reduce division and strife. It would only increase it.

History would seem to contradict you---periods of high wealth inequality do in fact seem to be historically correlated with division and strife. See, eg, https://news.stanford.edu/2017/01/24/stanford-historian-unco.... Or for a more short term analysis, https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228173822_Income_In....

What leads you to believe that equality creates more division? The single example of strife in the US in the 1960s seems unpersuasive, given that the divisions then revolved largely around the draft and civil rights, both issues heavily rooted in inequality.
So if someone grabs your hair during a fight, are you going to go bald the rest of your life? Just paste it somewhere besides a terminal. I swear, security people have run away with everyone's good sense.

There's a point of diminishing returns where running with something that can cause a problem is completely practicable and justifiable. We don't need the nteenth "Shell that protects you from malicious paste" functionality. Just use root judiciously. If you can't be comfortable running as root and keeping yourself out of trouble, then you really don't know enough to use the machine safely.

You must be 10% smarter than the piece of equipment. No amount of good natured or well-intentioned "protect you from yourself" coding will obviate you of the need to know what you are doing, the limitations of the machine, and the limitations of the program you're using. In fact, all it does is increase the bar for how many things worth of minutiae you have to account for.
That's silly. Something that is universal and true requires no consensus.

It's a shame we can't see the rest of the code. What is happening to the result value? Is it being compared to something? Put into an array, or what? All of that code probably totally outweighs what you pointed out here. Or, at least it should. I have a bad feeling it might be being dead-code eliminated, since compilers are super aggressive about that nowadays, but I hope he's somehow controlled for that.
Now that crypto is being more socially accepted, of course Visa and others will want to collect all the data on the products people are purchasing with it, just like they do with our fiat currency.

I realize this is not some high-stakes, formal research project or anything. That said, I don't know what to make of the 'results' because of the design of the experiment

What I'd like to see the author do is this:

1) write a script to conduct the searches on Google and Bing, combine and save the top 20 results of each search to a spreadsheet, in random or alphabetical order.

2) using the spreadsheet alone, follow each link and rank the order the author thinks is most relevant.

3) compare the author's rankings with Google's and Bing's actual results

The fact that the author is judging search results while knowing which engine produced them... it makes something that is subjective to start with even more subjective.
