This entire article is a lie:

>>But lawyers for Powell argued her false statements about election fraud in the months preceding the Capitol insurrection were unmistakably not presented as true facts.

“It was clear to reasonable persons that Powell’s claims were her opinions and legal theories on a matter of utmost public concern,” her legal motion says. “Those members of the public who were interested in the controversy were free to, and did, review that evidence and reached their own conclusions – or awaited resolution of the matter by the courts before making up their minds.”

Where did her lawyers say anything about her statements being false? Their argument is that they were expressions of opinion, a standard defence in defamation suits.
- "A high-performance implementation would of course
use padding or special alignment directives to avoid false sharing."

- "Cache alignment and padding often improves performance by reducing false sharing."

- "Software can use the alignment directives available
in many compilers to avoid false sharing, and adding such directives is a common step
in tuning parallel software."

There's just essentially two or three lines in the book that I could find that refer to optimizing cache use through padding/alignment, and that was after knowing what to search for. Although I wouldn't be surprised if I missed something.

In my experience, the discourse stops at the surface level, which makes the topic appear like it's obvious or trivial. But there are many follow-up questions that naturally arise for me:

- What are the trade-offs of cache-padding shared data? Why does it degrade performance for certain problems?

- What is a good rule-of-thumb for when to prioritize cache padding/alignment over cache locality?

- Are there other best practices like cache padding/alignment/locality that improve performance?

- What is an alignment directive and how does one use it?

I agree with what you've said, I was merely pointing out that I wish parallel programming resources delved more into this subject, as I feel that it's a practical and common issue. I'm sure it's not trivial and requires a fair bit of expertise, but that's why one would reach for a book like this after all.

When someone is being fired you remove them from an organization, you don't give them the organization and tell everyone else to go find new jobs, especially since they're the ones doing all the work.
Me too. Same story on Factorio. Fortunately both games allow you to control the difficulty of your adversaries.

A breakdown in EU- and, possibly, US/Saudi relations. Unlike dealings with, say, Iran, any measured would likely to be targeted more directly at MBS and individuals in positions in power, who would see themselves added to various sanction list.

These measures would likely pack some punch, as it is very common for Saudis with means to both do business as well as spend time/get medical care/send their kids to school in the west.

This would point at a possible future resolution, which would see MBS removed from power and some more reasonable person from the family taking over.
Unless they are indoors, no true.
Very happy to hear this and hope that is indeed the case, but the world's thirst for oil is still huge and will take a long time before it's finally quenched.

Also, these days, running huge, never-to-be-repaid debt seems to be the standard way to run a country, as exemplified by the US and most of the EU ... the other shoe seems to have a gravity belt, so ARAMCO might just be safe for a long time.
To add to that, they've trivialized Heroku to just being a "package your app and deploy it" whereas Heroku is VASTLY more than that, which GitLab couldn't even touch on in this article outside of a footnote at the bottom.
I swear people watch one highly dramatized movie and think we're something in imminent danger of running out of space up there. We certainly ain't, and it's not like companies don't consider these issues.
I am not sure I understand the statement about chess.

It is important to understand that scientists are individuals with individual incentives. While some have an inherent drive towards getting closer to truths via the application of the scientific method, others may find other things more important.

Abstracting "the science" from scientists is a convenient way of training other people in the acceptance of the proposition that there are inherently qualified arbiters of truth.
Funnily enough, SFMC was also an acquisition, and it was acquired after Heroku.

SFMC is easily the worst Salesforce project from a dev experience / integration point of view, agreed there.
> In essence an infinite set of future payments has a finite present value, due to inflation.

Inflation counts, but this would still be true in the presence of strong deflation. A set of future payments has a finite present value due to the fact that the same amount of purchasing power is worth less in the future than it is right now, "time discounting".

>> I think YC has the companies best interests in mind because that's just who they are how they were built.

Serious question: "Who" exactly are they? I could have told you 10 or even 5 years ago, but now? There are a lot more hands in the cookie jar.
I spent quite a lot of time developing Uniswap/Sushiswap/other dex arbitrage (back/front/sandwich) tools and bots over the last 6 months.

When you say you simply need to run a full node, thats incorrect. It is a prerequisite yes, but much less than half the battle. You also need now to ensure correct order placement (on any opportunity there are upwards of 5-15 competing bots), a friendly relay network/mining pools, efficiently node peering (e.g. 2-400 peers per node, managed on a custom routing table), a network of nodes to broadcast/listen for mem pool messages across the entire network instantaneously without waiting for P2P propagation (1-2 hops may introduce enough latency to lose out on the arb) (& some nodes are malicious - who fail to propagate arb'ble tx's), patched/custom GETH instances running on nodes (I am not at liberty to reveal what optimizations make one competitive). And then above all of that you need to be able to absorb, identify profitable transactions and then compute/simulate optimal transaction parameters in a very constrained amount of time.

So its not at all simple, in fact I have wound down most of my operations as the costs vs. rewards are extremely marginal now vs. what they were mid last year.

There's an evolutionary theory of conspiracy theories (that I just made up) that they self-select for plausible unfalsifiability. If a theory has a weakness can be proven incorrect, people will eventually patch it with an ephemeral insinuation that "you know what happened here" and move on.

As far as I know Reddit doesn't maintain previous edits, so this is also a cover up, and it prevents any recourse.
And apparently HN is allowing it to happen here to because all the threads related to this keep getting flagged into oblivion.
> ZFS will not protect you (by default) against bit flips in memory (please use ECC) or kernel bugs. If the disk buffer is corrupted in the kernel, on its way to the file system layer for dispatch, ZFS will happily checksum and perfectly store the bad data.

That's all very well but I don't see how your suggestions of doing archive backups make this any less of a problem, you are just operating on a higher level layer with the same problems. I'm also fairly sure most servers are built with ECC these days, I know my IaaS provider uses it.

> Finally, as with all complex file systems, ZFS is notorious for difficulty in recovering from multi-bit errors, often requiring "pool surgery" and multi-day disk scrubs to remount the file system. Perhaps your data is eventually recoverable, but do you have a week to finish the scrub to get it back online?

I cannot claim to have extensive ZFS war stories but I have had errors on a bad block device in a mirrored pool, but with this type of pool it does not affect mountability or performance. The only annoying performance issue affecting mountability I've had so far was when accidentally filling up a pool that had dedup enabled, since it struggles to function in the reserve area.
In their own words, "the stone age didn't end due to a lack of stone". The world will move on from oil, and they'll be left behind.
When a user creates a swap transaction on Uniswap, it goes into the ETH transaction queue (prioritized by gas amount). If a bot notices that a user has a large swap (say swapping $1.5M USDC for 1K ETH), a bot could theoretically 'front-run' the order (by paying a higher gas fee than the original swap) and inject say, $10M of liquidity into the expected price-band of movement caused by the trade. They could then pocket a portion of the transaction fees (whatever their fraction of the 0.3% trade fee that Uniswap charges is), and then immediately pull the liquidity out of the LP to then wait for another front-running opportunity.

This doesn't harm the person doing the swap, per se. It harms the Liquidity Providers that hold their capital in the pool for longer term.
> there is a lot of direct competitors within the YC network

I would never view other small startups in the space as competitors. I would view them as 1) people that will help lower our r&d costs b/c you can watch them 2) potential companies that could acquire you if they turn out to be executing better 3) potential companies that you could acquire if you turn out to be executing better.
I remember that a year ago, such conversations would get a person banned/shadowbanned from Twitter, FB and other media sources. I wonder how many lives were lost unnecessarily because of censorship.

Here's the abstract of this paper.

"The French government currently honors a very unusual debt contract: an annuity that was issued in 1738 and currently yields 1.20€ per year. I tell the story of this unique debt, which serves as an anecdotal but symbolic summary of French public finances since the 18th century."
I would "bet" they will not perform well in the long run. Their most valuable asset is trust and that was lost
I think this looks at the benefit backwards. 9p allows resources to be where they make sense and abstract the location from the usage. Running a display over the network might not make sense but with 9p it also isn't necessary. 9p itself allows me to run my GUI locally while the data and processing live elsewhere.
It was an incredible technical accomplishment at the time. These days, with digital, low light basically isn't an issue. If forced, I'd probably still pick A Clockwork Orange among Kubrick's works although perhaps 2001 is more iconic.

react_on_rails is actually quite nice. What have you tried to build?
I can recommend taking this blog post with a grain of salt. I'm a physics masters student and after working through the math myself I believe the Lipschitz continuity violation that Gruff rejects as a red herring is actually the real source of the nondeterminism, and is not just some mathematical fluff.

The first law and stitching arguments he makes appear to both be flawed. Having non-zero derivatives of force in combination with zero velocity and zero force is perfectly in accordance with Newton's first law. And in his frictionless ball counterexample, his equation is incorrect because it violates Newton's second law, not because two solutions are stitched together.

Lipschitz continuity is required for guaranteed uniqueness of differential equation solutions, and non-uniqueness can appear as nondeterminism or incompleteness.

I think he reaches the right conclusion but his reasoning is flawed.
Is it just me, or do I see a trend in naming projects using romance language words (Italian/Spanish/France)?

The front page makes it sound like the development is moving along at a moderately slow pace and it's still a work in progress.

The screenshots are pretty impressive for an open source game though. At least all of the buildings. They don't have many shots of troops in there.

> Currently, 0 A.D. is still in alpha phase, which means an early experimental phase. It is playable, and you can already download and test the game, but some features are still missing. When will 0 A.D. be released? It is very hard to predict. Even after we are done implementing all the features, we will want to conduct extensive beta testing, which can take a while. Information about release dates will be released at the appropriate time.
> It's worrying how they are improving the case for "70%" scenarios, while crippling it for the other 30%, without recourse. It's not even funny any more.

I constantly have issues with this address bar hiding the scheme and even the www.

One issue is when I quickly want to select some parameters or delete parts of the url in order to "up" one level.

What drives me absolutely insane is their inconsitent autocomplete functionality. Sometimes I end up at googling "examp" instead of navigating www.example.com, which was a page I already had visited and therefore showed up as the domain which was autocompleted inside the address bar. Sometimes pressing enter autofills the address, sometimes it googles the halfway typed domain. If I tab the halfway typed domain, it always completes it and an enter will navigate to it.

There is some strange difference in entering a domain and performing a search, something feels off. I can't exactly tell what it is, but sometimes I end up with submissions which I did not intend.

Also something with pressing the down-key in order to select the topmost entry, the one which gets selected with tab, it just gets skipped when I use the down-key.

Another thing is if I want to query "Raspberry Pi disable wifi" or something which begins with "Raspberry Pi", that I then get suggested the URL raspberry.org, a domain which I have often visited, and am forced to type through the entire word Raspberry in order for the URL-functionality to get aborted and have it switch over to googling mode. Maybe there is a keyboard shortcut or something which would help me out, but it simply isn't intuitive.

I think they're saying it's the longevity, rather than the performance boost, that they're excited about.
I agree wholeheartedly. I'm one of the people in the world creating a "Better Heroku" but my whole premise of my product is that Heroku like you said has kind of stagnated but is still the gold standard.

I don't see a reason for such childish attacks of Heroku. I'm solving similar issues but to go be more cost-effective and support more types of apps. I still hold Heroku in high regard and had the pleasure of having some higher ups as mentors of mine when I was in Junto Institute in Chicago.
Yea this surprised me at first - especially with the slope to n^2 seeming to indicate that the Y axis quantity remaining was known and measurable.

Additionally the quote below it:

> Mathematicians have been getting closer to their goal of reaching exponent two — meaning multiplying a pair of n-by-n matrices in only n2 steps — but will they ever reach it?

seems particularly odd when the height of those steps is irrelevant in the graphic - if the entire graph was just a flat plane going from n^3 to n^2 it would signify the "best" or at least fastest innovation, the "steppedness" of it and especially steep steps, indicate lags in progress rather than great leaps.
I assume above commenter was missing a /s. Personally, I don't get the distinction the author is making between production and development apps with regard to heroku

> If I'm reading that chart right, it is the percentage of sicknesses caused by each virus type, not the rate of sickness in the population. So we don't have information in this chart on the absolute prevalence. The change in relative rates may suggest which measures are relatively more effective on different viruses, but doesn't help us analyze the effectiveness of the current narrative.

That's exactly correct, and instead the poster is continuously misinterpreting a rate as a fixed quantity.
Right, which makes the phone easier to build and thus saves money. There's no getting around the fact that money is the #1 reason they have started omitting the jack. Apple has no other reason to leave out a feature that adds a convenient redundancy to a common use-case. There's literally no other negative to leave out the jack other than cost.
Wow, that's just bizarre.

There's still my second option though, open a Kraken account and transfer the crypto there.

Do your own research as always, but Kraken has been around since 2011 and has a solid reputation -- I've never heard of anyone losing their funds.

It's not as slick as Coinbase, and used to have a well-deserved reputation for somewhat frequent outages (rare nowadays). Additionally you'll have to pay for a wire transfer to withdraw fiat ($5 to Kraken, plus whatever to the receiving bank). Presumably, in this case none of these would be a serious concern. In the plus column, their customer support is quick to respond and actually helpful, unfortunately a rarity in the crypto world.

Judging from our failure to invade, embargoe or sanction saudi arabia or the bin laden family, it is clear that the USA and the west will aways back the terrorist regime of the kingdom of saudi arabia.

It isn’t even about their oil, it’s about the weapons they buy from us. We are literally being paid to fight, or rather, commit genocide in Yemen for KSA.

Iran has never attacked American soil and politicians treat them like our worst enemies. The house of saud killed 3,000 People on 9/11 and are implicated in almost every terror attack in the USA since, and they are our best friends.

That's true, but I can still type in an IP address and communicate with any webserver I want on the entire internet.

I guess you don't remember in 2018 when Comodo revoked sci-hub's TLS certs under corporate political pressure. This style of revocation combined with HTTPS only browsers is effectively a block that can't be bypassed. I am not saying that the DNS system cannot be used for political attack. It obviously can. It was used as such against sci-hub before they started attacking via the cert provider. What I am saying is that blocking HTTP in the browser makes the consequences much, much worse.

It greatly increases the incentives for revoking TLS certs for political reasons due to increased effectiveness. The cert authority doesn't even have to be malicious. All they have to do is be "law abiding" relative to some country with a bad set of laws.
If its enough to name hundreds of thousands of leaks that have been caused by those behaviors, then you should be able to name one.
A UN SecGen was assassinated in the 60s, so this isn’t unprecedented.

The complaining about supposed shortcomings of the UN is tired and misguided. The UN is far more than just the Security Council and matters of high politicking. It’s also UNHCR, on which million of refugees depend for their life. It’s security forces almost literally acting as hostages to secure the peace in dozens of stale conflicts. It’s the ITU, iSO, and whatever their mail agency is called providing the basic necessities for international trade, travel, and communication. It obviously has some power to establish international law and decency, or otherwise that Saudi two-bit dictator wouldn’t feel threatened enough to make threads himself, and it’s obviously relevant enough for that thread to remain all bark and no bite. In terms of international justice, the UN has successfully run dozens of tribunals and investigations, from Libanon to the Balkans to Ruanda.

Yes, other matters see little progress. Politics is slowly boring holes into thick wood or whatever the saying is. That has little to do with the UN, which is just a forum for nation states to talk. Those matters simply have no solution that everyone agrees to (yet),

In that vain, it’s a mistake to even expect the UN to have the sort of power to force its own will onto states, or to even expect it to have any such will at all. For political questions, the UN does not have an identity, or any power, separate from that of its member states. That’s why it’s headed by a Secretary General, not a President or Prime Minister.
