Yeah, but the memory in something like a Millenium 2 runs at like 1/500th the speed compared to the memory in a modern GPU (like the GDDR6X in the RTX 30 series cranking out 21 GBit/s per pin). Meanwhile the physics stayed the same.
I absolutely 100% agree with you.

But I am trying to decide if the internet brigade is upset because they think this person is guilty of more than they are letting on, or if they are guilty of extremely poor judgment, and the internet is never going to let them forget it.

I further wonder how long people can be punished for exercising extremely poor judgment, or at least making the wrong call when the optics are already extremely poor.
> They simply said there is a brigade of "america bad, china good"

And there isn't, but there are comments that refuse to jump to shallow thinking and consider how we'd see the protests, reactions and outcomes had they happened elsewhere. That's very different though.
cscareerquestions is heavily weighted towards graduates fighting tooth and nail to secure a first job with companies that mostly view them as an undifferentiated commodity. There's way more supply than demand.

It probably is a better way for graduates to differentiate themselves than experienced engineers.
The way I've heard it is that the layoffs were strategically/discriminatorily targeting senior staff, because of course they are the ones with the most institutional knowledge and therefore paid the most.
If the tweet was years ago, then I can easily imagine a kid tweeting something like that to be edgy/something else - I know I've said some stupid stuff as a kid
I'm literally afraid to even mention the subreddits I like because apparently they have been spared this fate and I'd hate to draw any attention to them!
To piggy back on the ideas here, don't be afraid to clone something that already exists. The important part here isn't to make a company that will make money, it's to learn by doing, so don't stress over the idea too much. I'd say add a small niche to it so it's easier to give it a unique personality. For example, a real time chat application, so you could just clone the basics of Discord, but do Discord for poker players or something.
My take is kinda the opposite. It is like a WWII movie where the ship is rudderless and the enemy submarine is circling around and they're wondering if they need one or two torpedoes to finish it off and the captain is on the bridge shouting that the king is still on the throne and the pound is still worth a pound.

Intel becoming the best foundry in the world might be the only way they can sell vastly more chips, but it's not easy; and it's not being headed by a turnaround king, but rather the master of harvesting (why is there still vmware around since virtualization became a feature of chips and operating systems?)
There is no expectation of a gemini server that it can run arbitrary code on the client. There is for an http server. This changes what works and what doesn't work.
Probably because it doesn't work for everyone. Working closely with someone requires skilful communication and professional maturity, it's not as easy as the books made it out to be.

I was lucky enough to work in a serious PP company for two years, paired with ~10 people. I can appreciate PP when it's the right person, but when it's not, it can be downright unproductive.

A lot of software engineering practices like PP, TDD were preached like some kind of gospel but never stood the test of time.
From the US as well (Austin specifically) and I think there are some grains of truth in what the author describes, but it's not clear whether the author's viewpoint is influenced by the developers that requested paid mentorship or if it's entirely his own.

I've seen what he mentions in regards to self-improvement. Management under a large engineering company I was previously at would encourage self-learning and improvement, but disregarded it the moment deadlines became a concern or if you requested resources for it (e.g budget for tech conferences). They had a lot of long-time employees who were content with mediocre salaries (due to family, complacency, poor marketability/atrophied skills, etc.), so they literally had no incentive to invest in meaningful training for employees.

In regards to the focus on open-source contributions that he claims, I've found that the credibility and clout that comes with being a prolific contributor really only matter online. It most definitely helps you get your resume in the door, but you're still expected to whiteboard some bullshit like everyone else when it comes to interviews. I'd imagine that the majority of applicants have zero open source contributions and that the companies not only expect but are also okay with that. That was the definitely the experience I had back when I had did interviewing for my team at least.

Of course, it could be possible that what he's describing is more of a trend going on in Europe or Denmark than the US. But I think he has some hits and some misses with his takes.
To double click on that: TSMC has been playing the geostrategic game for a while. Taiwan wasn't simply a good choice because it had labor, transport access, and a supportive government: it played to certain Cold War issues.

Then as the mainland market developed they increased their mainland footprint as a hedge (makes it harder for the Chinese government to attack TSMC, though as we've seen from Alibaba, Xi appears happy to "move fast and break things"). That did in fact forestall investment in a competitor until recently.

They have also been expanding outside China-Taiwan, distributing their capacity and developing support in the USA and Europe. Worst case (actual shooting war between China and Taiwan) they would have a lot to fall back on.

Hon Hai has followed the same geostrategy (to even greater extreme) with its Foxconn subsidiary.

I understand very well what Russia seeks in Donbass. What I fail however to understand is what the hell your country doing in Iraq and Syria and why you think you have any right to blatantly interfere in Chinese internal affairs.. Neither China, nor Russia supported occupy wall street and BLM. But you do foment civil unrest in these states!
Geslinger was smart to reference Grove: I think people at all levels of Intel finally realize that their ship is on fire and are willing to change. I believe the M1, though costing them a very small amount of sales, was the true wake up call, despite being just the most recent arrow from a flock of arrows that has been piercing Intel for decades.

If Intel can pull this off it will be one of the most impressive recoveries in history, up there with Watson at IBM, Gerstner at IBM, and Jobs' return to Apple.

And if Intel can pull this off I wonder if someone will be able to do the same for GE.
This is complete hearsay. If China could so easily violate one country, two systems, they wouldn't have cared about a formal extradition bill to begin with.
Protests in some countries might be mild and orderly, or put little pressure to the government and mostly ignored - but this wouldn't necessarily be a sign that the government is more open to protest, just that protests happen to be more "for show" than threatening.

It's also about the culture of police violence. In the US citizen life is cheaper (and one would guess, in China too), judging from the number of police shootings alone, and the excessive police force used for everything and anything, that to have deaths in a protest/riot etc is kinda taken as granted or "the way things are". This extends to protest cop behavior.

In some countries mild or even heavy violence would be tolerated, but a single death in a demonstration could cause resignations or bring down a government. So there are countries with tons of protests for decades involving 10s or 100s of thousands without a single death (mine didn't have a protest death for ages, despite tons of protests and violent clashes and supression by the police), and countries where a protest can turn into deadly suppression almost immediately (e.g. some Latin American countries).

Reddit is getting shittier and shittier as the years go on...
I have seen this be the fault of developers as much or more than management - even for that "let's get everything right this time" sort of project, devs who interpret that as "let's build a beautiful intricate machine that does exactly what we want it to today" are fare more common than devs who build something that will be able to evolve for tomorrow's needs. Management rarely is involved or interfering there, when a dev or dev team decides to abstract over messy rules to make something "clean" - but in the process just encodes the messiness deeper, and in a harder-to-change way.

A dev who's also focused on "how can I deliver value to the customer" is really the only person who can make the right choices there, because the code has to be designed to make sure future valuable changes can be made, vs designed for a specific "snapshot" of specs.

And yeah, it often becomes a cycle, where management doesn't trust devs to build systems that won't suck, because devs haven't shown they can build systems that won't suck, because they're constantly just fighting the old systems that suck instead of having good training/experience building ones that don't... but I can't put that on non-technical management. We don't want non-technical management trying to tell us how to build a system, we just have to get better at it ourselves. You can do that by working on a bunch of broken systems, but you have to be thoughtful about it, and reflect on what you learn, and not just be distracted by "ooh, new shiny framework will make this better!"
Mathematics for the Million is a really good book.
This is a simplistic view that assumes every other factor and actor remains static.
I think it's less about policing and more about the size/content of the subreddit. I check a few sports subreddits and some about fantasy books. I would never notice all this drama if it weren't on HN, because those subreddits are focused enough on a particular subject to avoid getting caught up in meta-reddit drama / politics / controversy.

It looks heavily inspired by macOS. Especially if you scroll down to the “Core Apps” section. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Not the OP, but a person born in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and with personal recollection of the late Soviet Bloc.

Obviously Reddit has no possibility to throw you in prison or execute you with a shot to the neck, but regarding the things that they can do against free expression of their users, they do not seem to show much restraint, especially if they can get away with it.

On this particular shitstorm, they will be faced to backpedal, yes. People hate pedophiles with passion.

Undetectable you say? Hah! Just like there's someone at the Air Force sitting at a desk tracking millimeter (probably smaller?) sized space debris, I am sure the Navy has someone who geeks out about every little piece of debris in the Pacific ocean and would be well aware of a new cargo container sized piece of debris that floated in a weird location then suddenly disappeared.

HKU has 15 years of data points on HK protests. There is reliable pattern of protestor organizers significantly overestimating and police mildly underestimating. Overall HKU and Police estimates are much more aligned. These two parties are actual subject matter experts vs protest organizers, ergo based on historic data and expertise, organizer estimates should be presumed to be less reliable / credible. Doesn't mean 2019 protests weren't massive. They're just likely half as massive as what makes for good headlines.
Being unaware of something is orthogonal to being affected by it. I was similar to you - mostly non-defaults, which made me miss how bad the larger site had become over time. It’s easy to overlook.
> due to manufacturing problems.

Precisely, which is why I think a manufacturing issue is the most likely reason why they haven't applied for EMA authorisation yet. EU regulators can be and have been very picky.

If you want to buy into the theory that they are choosing to favour the UK and other countries at the expense of the EU then fine. There may be on contractual reason why they feel they have to do that but some sort of conspiracy seems far fetched at this stage.
In all cases, the goal is to establish a truth on the ground independent of political posturing. Of course, someone can call your bluff on it!
I actually got blinded by the first two mentions of conviction that it didn't even register that you said charged even though I quoted it. But still, blind faith is still unreasonable. Would you hire a stranger charged with rape if they gave you a serious alibi? A verifiable "I wasn't even in the country, here are receipts and photos" type alibi. Most people would say "we'll wait until the charges are dropped to make it official but you got the job".

I don't think that people understand that paid limits sometimes aren't there for you to hit or even get anywhere near. It's like how Dropbox doesn't offer a paid tier less than 2TB. It's not like most people need 2TB it's just that the idea is once you're paying it's unlikely you need to worry about the limit.
so this is basically eval('var input = inputElement.innerText;' + jsElement.innerText)
I agree with everything you say until the last paragraph. My perception of Reich and Glass as composers is that despite coming from the same city, during the same period, and being lumped together by history they feel like two composers whose style and methods run parallel but never quite meet. They've both built reputations around styles reliant on repetition, but the ways they employ it and the character of their music are very different.

While the musical motif of Reich's 'Piano Phase' - an ostinato arpgeggio - is something that Glass also employs in his own music, their individual uses of such a fundamental and common musical figure diverges tremendously. Reich (for the most part) fixates on that single motif and the patterns that appear by "phasing" it in and out with it's copy. Glass' typical approach for this period is to develop the figure through harmonic development or through the contraction or expansion of the phrase's length.

While you could argue that Glass' style developed from Reich's initial idea. To suggest that Glass' entire catalog of the period is somehow fully contained and found in the content of 'Piano Phase' and never added anything new is a major stretch.

That would be like arguing that everything Led Zeppelin wrote was already implicit in 'Johnny B. Goode'.
I've seen a doctor who didn't seem to care, as well as one that did. One just tried to throw prescriptions at any problems I took to him, and the other one was more interested in root causes and the sum picture of my overall health. I definitely want the passionate one there, all other things about their knowledge and potential competence being equal.

Yes, it’s a big if, however the number of people who can code and the general sophistication level of even amateur programmers is rising over time.

Actual computer literacy in the sense of being about to both read and write programs is only going to increase over time.

My sense is that Apple is underserving the needs of software creators in general, by shoehorning everything into Apps.

They could respond to this, and I have been expecting them to for years. My sense now is that they may be too are too blinded by the store model to realize what is happening.

This is one of the trends that I think Jobs would have understood, but that a post Jobs Apple may miss.

Another trend is the rise of crypto. I am not a Bitcoin bull or anything like that, but now that there is so much creativity in the crypto space, I think it’s entirely feasible that we could solve the problem of distributing trust, so that we can provide something for end users with the safety of the App Store but without the central gatekeeper.

This is not even close to being a solved problem yet, which is why I oppose the breakup of app stores.

However the basic tools seem to exist for us to solve it, as does the pressure.

I think in practice the boss would primarily evaluate the negative impact (or the risk) of the public reaction against the company/organisation versus the positive impact the controversial person brings through the merits of their work. It would be a business decision.
> Also, doing burnouts and donuts on public streets sounds fun but it leaves the road covered in tire rubber and I imagine it smells awful while they’re doing it.

It indeed does smell awful, and the tire dust is filled with toxins that you probably don’t want in your system; that have already been implicated in the deaths of salmon.

It’s also very loud, well over 100 dB. That’s enough to cause permanent hearing loss.

I don’t believe the moral high ground is with the car club. Their behavior harms people outside of their in-group, with the most severe harms falling on people less privileged than themselves.
I like the look of a lot of these changes.

I feel the same way about reddit that I feel about google search now (like many others it seems according to the HN thread the other day).

It is only useful to me for very, very small subs that act like enthusiast forums of old.
It felt too recent to me when I wrote it! I was probably subconsciously hoping for the correction. The technique was certainly circulating many years before any of the papers were released, since all I remember about the papers was people talking about how the technique was finally being written down. :)
Why Does the U.S. Have So Many Mass Shootings? Research Is Clear: Guns
Is this an example of political correctness silencing you? I'm honestly asking, because it's interesting. Traditionally, the phrase refers to being "sensitive", so e.g. your opinion would be the politically correct opinion, and theirs would be the "not afraid to hurt feelings" opinion. But if you take the phrase more literally, it would refer to the fallacy of judging what is "correct" according solely to the politics of the observer - regardless of what those politics are. In which case, yes, their political correctness is suppressing you (and if you had treated them the same way, your political correctness would have been suppressing them at the same time).

One of the most striking things I have witnessed has been the letters that young protesters have been writing in case they are arrested or disappeared by security services. These “last letters,” to be read in the event that they don’t return from the protests, explain to their families why they are protesting, and also serve as a “no-suicide declaration.” Nine thousand, two hundred, and sixteen people have been arrested during the 12 months of protests, a figure much larger than the total prison population of 7,023. This discrepancy, combined with a series of mysterious deaths and disappearances that have been explained as suicides or accidents, has made protesters wary of their own safety. So the letters serve to say, “I will not be another suicide statistic.” As one young person wrote in their letter, “I have no regrets, not for a moment; even though missing or dead, I will never stay silent in the face of injustice”
10s of millions of people participated in protests last summer in the US. 700k is 10% of HK population.

Both are extraordinary, it's not obvious to me who should win the "most well-behaved protest movement" award
"This line, that individual subreddits defy any concept of Reddit identity, needs to stop"

I can only speak to what I experience and I can't pretend my experience is something it's not. If that is unintentionally distracting from some greater purpose, too bad I guess. I'm not about to get on board with a perspective I have not experienced and do not understand.
Eventually — and specifically for healthcare — yes! But I'm not sure if a citizen from one country can easily obtain credentials from another. It seems mostly meant for cases where you might need to sign on to a Dutch government website and you can then just use those Czech U2F tokens. It is a way forward though, but currently mostly hypothetical.

Unfortunately, while there is a migration going on from offering only DigiD to offering the whole eIDAS suite (in the Netherlands this is done via a government service called ToegangsVerleningsService, so vendors only have to implement a SAML connection to that which will eventually support eIDAS), it is by no means sure that every government function will allow eIDAS instead of just DigiD. It's honestly a very opaque process.

Great to hear that the Czech Republic chose U2F (now part of WebAuthn) though!
The Grandpa Wiggly (PawPaw) debacle, and many other events from ancient-reddit-history, disagrees with your claim of "authenticity of old reddit". I think the allure of audience has always driven fakers though, but definitely not to the extent corporate-ness has currently taken reddit.
I think it was largely due to their historically bleeding edge fabrication tech/node and market share. Until the recent resurgence of AMD and rise of ARM, Intel was able to sell out their inventory and keep their fabs at 100% capacity.

But given the combination of losing the node advantage to TSMC and performance advantage to AMD & ARM, I'm guessing Intel has accumulated inventory and this poses a business risk. Opening up their fabs in the future is a way to mitigate this risk; essentially becoming both a chip seller and external manufacturer.

The other reason is probably textbook monopolistic behavior: vertical integration means if you want top tier chips, there was no other option but Intel. Often overlooked is how closely correlated fabrication node is to chip performance, e.g. if Apple's M1 is fabbed at TSMC 7nm instead of 5nm, the performance wouldn't be so widely lauded.
It's definitely double standards for this to be flagged when the exact opposite of this was posted yesterday without a flag.
