Sure, it is not too late. We are only in the middle of the bubble. The top is still months away but if you get into Bitcoin right now you have to keep babysitting the charts for what amounts to be a 2x gain at most if you can sell at the peak, which is harder than it sounds.
Broadly speaking, the issue is that cryptocurrencies drive up demand for GPUs, and that makes them less available/affordable for gamers. If there was a crypto-crippled GPU then it would be exempt from that particular demand.

The design is very similar to Apple's Butterfly [1], but the genius part is the stainless steel spring in between that push actuation force to 52 cN and the tactile force to 65 cN.

I am wondering if this spring design is completely new?

The total height of 3.5 mm is still way beyond normal Laptop Keys though. But I am wondering if that spring design would make butterfly much better.

Back in engineering school, a million years ago, my partner and I used simulated annealing to “design” a digital circuit implementation in CMOS (a 32 bit CRC), minimizing various parameters like wire length to optimize its function. It worked shockingly well when simulated.

I am a huge fan of using randomized starting states and then allowing the computer to discover the best architecture. It produces, if nothing else, surprising results.
While that's true, the likelihood of a bug like this existing in an application written in a language like python, go, or rust (heck, even C++) is orders of magnitude less than the likelihood of it being in software written in C.

If I remember correctly, the number was rather 30 billion Deutsche Mark. But still, it was a good deal for the Sovjet Union. Personally, I think that Gorbatchew was very aware of the pure financial state of the Sovjet Union and this was the ability to get rid of the DDR not only at no costs, but having all costs of relocating the military covered by the west. Still, he managed to delay the collapse of the Sovjet Union only by a few years.

Well, of course you can have negation and functions in "a" datalog language (there are different variants) but the point is that bottom-up evaluation is not then decidable.

Out of curiosity, what kind of negation do you mean? Negation as failure or classical negation? And what do you mean about limitations?
Related discussion from when this crash was originally found in screen and then they found a slightly modified version also worked on xterm (I can't find any nontrivial discussion of it on HN, surprisingly, but I had this article's link in my browser history from a month ago because of it):

AMD doesn't particularly need to limit RDNA2 mining because those cards are inherently less desirable for miners. RDNA2 is designed around relatively slow memory with a big chunk of on-chip cache to compensate, which works quite well for games but the random memory access pattern of crypto mining blows the cache and bottlenecks on the slow underlying memory bus.

It's not like AMD is above artificially limiting the performance of certain workloads when it suits them, they do it with CAD applications unless you pay the workstation tax.

Aren't gamers benefitting from better GPUs? Sure right now the supply is not enough for everyone but at some point the high upfront investments will make it harder and harder to manufacture high end GPUs.

It’s not really useful to talk about DPI/PPI of the screen in an iPhone. The 12 mini uses 3x scaling, the new SE uses 2x. According to [0], the logical resolution is 360 × 780 for the 12 mini and 375 × 667 for the SE. Sometimes, Apple used tricks such as running the OS at 3x and then downscaling it a little [1]. That said, since the SE is meant to be a hardware upgrade with the old size/form factor, some users would not be happy seeing smaller text on the new phone (compared to their old iPhone 6/7/8).

Wait..... they're actually making these?

I thought it was a joke...
It is absolutely jaw dropping to me watching that Model Y front-frame come out of that 6k-ton casting machine[1]. Incredible. Had not seen that before. What a potentially incredibly efficient use of materials & process, to produce a large well constructed, integrated piece.

I do have one reservation, which is that this feels a bit like the creation of a dispose-only car. Trying to bend this unibody back into shape seems like it's going to be incredibly difficult. I'm trying to imagine how if at all we're going to fix a cybertruck, after it slides into a tree or pole. I was so delighted to see the Model Y front-unibody come out of that press, but a second latter, I was shocked, mouth open aghast, trying to imagine these cars as anything other than disposable.

Like the NAND situation on Teslas, there's so much amazing high tech wonders afoot here. But vehicles, over the generations, have had to learn that maintainability, repairability, and sustainability are real factors too: there's many years of engineering that have gone into not just making cars, but making them able to be kept running. I know Tesla's not the only one doing unibody work, that this isn't entirely 100% a novel problem, but I'm still a bit jarred, a bit worried, that we're creating a truck- a vehicle format known for getting beat up a bit- that might not be repairable.

I think there's negative connotations about "politics" that people are implying within the context of corporate work environments. Specifically: arbitrary beurocracy, fragile personalities, back-channel communication, ego stroking, chest thumping and back-stabbing.

From a pure textbook definition of politics, yeah there's politics everywhere, and folk need to learn how to interact with coworkers in a healthy, productive manner. For folk going into engineering, I really like competitive student projects as a way to learn those skills.
Lolita is only subversive for elderly church going moms who understand a man is subverting a child, anyway.

I remember it as a lesson on self-control, child mindset (they are in a phase where they can manipulate dishonestly but also quickly move on like nothing has consequences), a road trip of the US, a lesson on obsessive passion, on one-sided escalation of obsession.

I read it on the advice of my dad around 16, and I had to admit this was absolute beauty, the main character being French like me helped also. There is nothing to censor, there is nothing to discuss: it can be read by children as a warning, it can be read by teenagers as a disturbing challenge, it can be read by adults as entertainment.

Only in the US do people discuss these things like it's a big deal, it's just the story of a lost man who got manipulated by a airhead child and fell in a criminal trap of his own making to end up with absolutely nothing to show for.

BTW western society doesn't exist. Americans should stop using this word to describe their own ways. We don't, everywhere west of China, agree on the definition of what is proper, what is censorship, what is society and how being west of China should impact how we group with others. So American society is unsustainable, but I'd like to argue that French society has an opinion on the balance of such things that works for us. It involves teaching limits openly and early, embrace free expression is a fantasy and explain why, and not shy away from re-discussing each instance of each issue together and publicly.

I think you are a bit all over the place. I would suggest a few things:

Go through Naval's podcast "How to get rich". Listen it once a month for 4 months. Make notes and see how his suggestions apply to you. Focus on the things that you disagree with and understand why do you disagree with them.

Now on to my feedback:

You are worrying too much about big competitors getting you out of business or idea already launched. Unless your product has a very small market, there is always opportunities for new players. Looks at the instant messaging space over the time we have had IRC, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, Google Chat, Skype, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Slack and there will be a lot more.

If an idea doesn't work out, you don't lose 2 years. You would have learnt a lot through this time. You are investing in your learning and capabilities.

Think of startup as a series of sprints. You sprint, strategize, sprint, strategize.

So my high level suggestion would be:

Start building what you want to build right now. Don't wait.

Don't think about doing startup in binary terms. Figure out which product you want to build next and try to find whatever time to make progress on it. During this phase if you have to sort out personal things do that. If you need to take a job to support finances do it. These are things that you have to take care of along the way. There will always be news stuff when you have taken care of the personal and finance part. Don't lose focus on your startup and keep chugging along.

If you get a job, make sure you don't use company hardware to build it. Make sure that there are no clauses which make products developed on your personal time as company property.
This is mostly correct and very interesting, but I'd like to correct a couple of errors:

> Place-value systems are much younger; the first date from around 500 CE

No, although place-value systems do seem to be younger than the non-place-value system the article calls "ciphered-additive", place-value numerals date from 02000 BCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_cuneiform_numerals#...

However, there seems to be no line of descent from Babylonian numerals, which used an empty space to represent zero, to the Hindu numerals about 2000 years later. (The oldest occurrence of zero is actually at Gwalior, somewhat later than the Brahmi script.) Similarly, the Maya vigesimal place-value numeral system dates from the first century BCE, and the decimal place-value numeral system of the khipu is normally considered to date from around the same time, although Ruth Shady has reported a tantalizing "proto-khipu" find that may predate even the Babylonian system. However, there is no plausible route of cultural transmission from these systems to Classical India.

Even the Hindu decimal place-value numeral system is likely older than 00500 CE; the Bakhshali manuscript, which uses a dot for zero like modern Eastern Arabic numerals, probably dates from about 00300 CE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakhshali_manuscript#Contents

> they evolved into the numeral system used in Persian (۰۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹) and thence Arabic (٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩) ... It was only at this point that the Arabic numerals were transmitted to Europe primarily via Fibonacci; over a few centuries they evolved into their modern forms (0123456789).

It turns out that Arabic-speakers in Africa were using a divergent set of digits for the Hindu–Arabic place-value system, not descended from ٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩, and these are entirely readable to modern European-educated eyes, except for the 4, which is rotated 90° and has a tail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals#Adoption_in_Eu... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Brahmi_numeral_s...

This divergent evolution is why many of "0123456789" bear a closer resemblance to the numerals from Gwalior and in one case the Brahmi script you see in that graphic than to the Eastern Arabic "٠١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩". It's not that the Europeans evolved "٣" and "٦" back into the Gwalior "3" and the Brahmi "6" by coincidence; it's that the Africans they copied their numbers from were already using numerals that looked like "3" and "6".

These numerals are called "Western Arabic" because the Western Arabs in the Maghreb used them, as opposed to the Eastern Arabs in Arabia itself. It's not a juxtaposition of the names of two separate polities, "Western" and "Arabic".

I agree with the grandparent that it's terribly amusing that an anthropologist railing against "coopt[ing] Native American accomplishments by claiming them as generically American", "American imperial project[s]", and "the dominant American narrative of the primitivity of indigenous Americans" would so completely erase the African origin of what he repeatedly calls "Western numerals" in a region recently invaded and currently partly occupied by the US Air Force.
Ok then, following that same logic I have some assertions.

1000 gods exist, they really do, they told me, you can trust me. For every position your god takes, my 1000 gods take the exact opposite position.

Any rational person would think, "You can't just assert that, you have made an extraordinary claim! The burden of proof is on you to show that your extraordinary claim of personally knowing 1000 gods exists has some basis in reality."

Know that that same logic applies to you and is why you are getting blasted with downvotes.

It's not quite as bad as that; it sounds like you also have to select the text. (The corresponding vulnerability in "screen", by contrast, doesn't require interaction, which makes it even more serious.)

It's still extremely bad and should be patched immediately. But it doesn't appear to be a zero-interaction vulnerability, as far as I can tell from the description.
