HK is 'dead in the water'.

UK abandoned HK, creating a vacuum, leaving the door open to China to step in and take over; and nobody wants to risk stepping-in to block China from absorbing HK.

China will (literally) fight anyone who will dare step their foot in HK to 'guarantee' its independence. I don't believe anyone is able to stand up to China, apart from Russia or USA. And neither are willing to go to war for HK. It's someone else's problem. Worse case scenario when the transition is complete, HK will die as a global financial centre, and its big-banks operations will move to a more USA-friendly place.

Poor HK-ers could as well replace their flag.

It's a pity, but such is the luck of the ant in front of a elephant.
TIL! What else is manufactured like this? Anyone know if a big list of examples exists?
Is GNOME as a community project? My reading of https://hpjansson.org/blag/2020/12/16/on-the-graying-of-gnom... is that it is driven largely by Red Hat and to some degree other companies.

To your general point (why attack the project): GNOME has a reputation (IMO deserved) for aggressively not caring about the opinions of users or outside projects (ex. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23795901). So at some point it comes to "GNOME hates everyone else, so everyone else hates GNOME".

I don't disagree with you but the point is that is entirely within Reddit's discretion, not ours.
Absolutely. These people actively seek out access to children, and many of them are extremely clever in the way they do this, and the way they manipulate good-natured people around them.

The only part that astonishes me is that Reddit hired the person. It suggests they are either not performing proper background checking (terrible), or they are and decided to overlook what they found (even worse).
Your screenshot shows old reddit. Either you're using a link to old.reddit.com, or (like me) your user account has set the option to always use old reddit.

Try opening your link in an incognito browser.

If I go to the link posted above [1], I first see a much narrower window (careful, don't click on the black area to the sides, or you'll go back to the subreddit, the whole thing is basically a modal dialog now). Then I see one single comment, and it itself is half cut off. Below it I see a bunch of "related" content: https://imgur.com/a/tyaheDC

If I click the button to expand, I see no comments deeper than two deep: https://imgur.com/a/HDlNYFK

To see deeper any any thread, I have to click a link which doesn't expand the comments but takes me to its own link thread. To get back I need to use the browser back button and my context is lost.

They do not want users to engage with existing comments at all. The first comment is half cut off. The rest are hard to get to. They appear to want you to consume the posted content, and maybe post your own comment if you like.

Yes, but the keyword here is "sometimes", charge pumps can be efficient only when very specific conditions are met, usually low current and power (but there are exceptions), efficiency drops sharply as current increases. Putting the circuit onto the silicon creates many additional limitations.
Quick disclaimer as someone who lived in Costa Rica for many years: Costa Rica's prices for many things are comparable to the US. If it's imported stuff like cars or tech, then expect to pay 2-3x as much. The internet can be fast, but it's also expensive. Basically, expect costs to be closer to vacationing in the US than SE Asia. Other than that, it is a very nice country although driving there can be like an extreme sport. Also, make sure you have a remote job before going there because you can't work without a permit and even if you could the salaries are very low compared to the US.
Having worked in the semiconductor industry, it would be good investment for Apple, Google, or Microsoft to get into fabbing stuff for themselves and others just on the basis of being able to outcompete everyone else in operational efficiency. There's a killing to be made from low-hanging fruit all over the place, at least for anyone who's able to front costs of opening or acquiring a billion dollar fab.
> As another commenter remarks, there are holes to plug in terms of exploitable behaviours that are locked into the model, but this too I'm confident they will find a general method of preventing

The problem is, I don't think there is a "general method of [prevention]" because that's not how neural networks work.

It's not easy to fix things like this because you can't just say "yeah just don't do that dumb thing anymore", the network has to be re-trained to learn the exploit.

The way DeepMind tried to get around this is by having a league of AIs playing against each other which try to exploit each other and expose their weaknesses. It worked pretty damn well, but people still found ways to exploit the AI.
Apple can quell the stock market crash, depression, and ensuing national mental health crisis by going back to what they were doing, industry standard practice, dual sourcing from Samsung fabs.

AMD/Team Red...well, same thing. They're not due to be on the TSMC node you're worried about until 2022 at the _very_ earliest
Given that the author is Glinner, a notorious transphobe (who has been banned from pretty much every even somewhat sensible platform for that), I very much doubt he cares at all about anything except that the person in question is a trans woman.

Glinner is awful, and no one should ever read anything by him.
Wow, I didn't realize how rare it's been for the Senate and the House to both be Republican. Only 7 times since 1955: 104th-106th (1995-2001), 108th-109th (2003-2007), and 114th-115th (2015-2019).

(To be fair, during my lifetime, that's been about half the time.)
Great suggestion! I watched it a few hours ago. Fantastic episode, and I highly recommend anyone interested in GPUs watch it!
>yanking one away wholly from the moderation group

Not much of a departure -- they've done it.
I saw two of them circling my neighborhood in Minneapolis last week. Gigantic, gorgeous wingspans. Few of my neighbors saw me outside looking up in the sky and came out to see what was going on and stood and watched for a bit too.

It's always fun to see them on the drive up north, too. Such cool looking birds.
That's interesting. It seems like it runs the risk of making a long-held house extremely hard (or money-losing) to sell. If a $1M property has $900K in deferred property taxes against it (which would be possible to accrue in a 50+-year timespan). That house would never get sold, because the holding costs are based on 1970's tax rates (maybe with some annual escalator), so I can hold a $1M house for $5K/year and keep adding $20K/yr to the deferred balance or I can give up the house and put $60K in a real estate agent's pocket, $900K in the city's pocket, and $40K in my own pocket. I'm never doing that.
Half-OT:

Svelte seems to be the pinnacle of the "bundling era" of frontend frameworks.

What do you think comes next?

XYZ-to-WASM?

Back the roots with (non-)bundlers like Skypack?

Anyone heard of next-gen experiments in that directions?
Setting up an alternative to a huge platform is hard to do. It's not the early days of the social internet any more, there aren't really any "killer features" that might attract users that haven't already been integrated into the big platforms, and "better management" is not the kind of thing that inspires mass adoption.

And if you don't have a killer feature, then you've just made a clone, and you suffer the fate of all social media clones from 8chan to Voat to Vidme to Gab and Parler. As observed by Dan Olson:

> when you compete with a monolith, the first people to jump on board will be the people that were thrown off the other ship, and most of them were thrown off for a reason... before you know whats happened, toxic users will have become your core userbase, and then you're never going to recover.
Hermes does have a tier 1 JIT, though it is not a primary focus yet.
It would be nice instead if the git command prevented you from committing a file with a token in it.
I don't intend to portray anger as I couldn't be farther from angry. I just think solutions are easier to find when you tackle problems directly rather than assume malice exists lurking in the shadows every time a situation presents itself. The world isn't angry, nor is it racist, nor is it violent. The world is full of complexity and misunderstanding far more than it's full of malice. If you go looking for malice with the assumption it exists all over the place, you'll have no trouble confirming your bias just as someone might believe rather emotionless writings portray anger if they go into a discussion believing anyone with differing values must only hold to those values emotionally.
Did they? I see reports at the time claiming that would be the case, but more recent sources indicate it never happened, that TSMC has been Apple's sole supplier since 2015.

Price gouging laws generally discourage this business model.
At least you'd be able to buy some spares for a stepper, or maybe a set of manuals. It's a start.
What's frustrating about these low-tier, questionably reviewed journals like Elsevier's "Meta Gene" (CiteScore impact factor 1.4 for what that's worth, although I know that impact isn't everything) is that they are basically exactly the same as the "predatory journals" run by obscure publishers that the big publishers like Elsevier constantly are complaining about. The thing is, things like "Meta Gene" are far more dangerous because unlike the amateurish web sites that a typical indie "predatory journal" has, this being from Elsevier looks legit.
This is an issue for me; I don't enjoy having to work around it by finding the file in a separate file browser window.
But TSMC's Arizona plant will make 5nm chips in 2023, by which time 5nm wont be the leading-edge node - 3nm will be. It's nice to see some geodiversity however.

In any case, TSMC is dependent on ASML, which has a monopoly on leading-edge EUV tech.

There is a decent amount of competition at older nodes, like > 40nm. So we'll still be able to make some chips if TSMC completely goes out of business, but obviously it wont scale to the demand and will seriously hamper business, science, and government.
Very nice! Thanks for making this.

I am curious, how difficult was it to parse XML? I want to extract footnotes from 10-Q and 10-Ks but I was a little bit intimidated by XBRL.
I recently rewrote a small UI from Preact to Svelte and while it was certainly a learning experience, I have to say working with Svelte is fantastic.

My only complaint is that the Typescript support isn't quite perfect yet, but it's already very functional.
I tend to be on the go a lot, so its great for me to have access to a device that is "always" connected which is why I like my iPad which has both a cellular and wifi connection. I know I could also do the personal hotspot approach, but its just an extra step that I don't like to deal with.

> Meh, the surgeon obsessed with self promotion and status seeking might not be the best one as they may be more focused on themselves than the task at hand.

The ones I've talked with are more interested in the implementation details, changing lives for the better and sharing what they've learned so everyone as a whole can rise.

Their practices are also wildly successful without content promotion and no to very little social media presence. These are the folks doing 750+ surgeries a year while being surrounded by relevant cases all the time. Basically total immersion in their field and then openly sharing everything with their colleagues.
I think they have a Chinese move against Taiwan more on the mind than an earthquake or other natural disaster.

Something like Electron which allows you to create cross platform software using JS. I know, I know, JS to create a win 10 app? Yup, it's probably the easiest way right now. There are many email related apps that use Electron, maybe they can help you decide if the framework is right for you: https://www.electronjs.org/apps?q=email

As for which editor/IDE to use, Visual Studio Code is a decent and free text editor with tons of plugins. Then there's always a proper IDE like Webstorm by JetBrains that offers much more functionality and convience out of the box.
That seems excessively dismissive; it's hardly a dead meme while the issue remains open, boring only to the GNOME developers who have decided that little things like what users want is irrelevant, annoying only because it's been a decade with zero attempt at a solution. It's nice that you never use this feature, but unhelpful to others who do. And yes, it's terribly generous of them to be willing to consider merging a fix if someone else does the work.

I think your edit shows the kind of bind we are in as a society. Transphobia is not worse than protecting pedophiles and torturers of children.
It's funny, because as I remember it, locking down multiple-person video chats was about when they started to die. They even briefly touch on that in the video, too.

I remember that they did some other stupid things around the same time, but not what they were.

As games start to include RL, it will be a lot of fun that could spawn a while new generation of interesting games (especially if games are made with an RL-first mindset as opposed to using RL later on to beat human beings).

Do you have recommendations to learn more about RL? Is CodeCraft a game?

Many thanks! When I began writing Go code I found a lot of "Go idioms" on blog posts, it was hard to remember all of them.

Ask HN: How hard would it be to filter news with Twitter embeds?
I've noticed a trend over the years that most of the bad journalism, click bait and "articles" that are just designed to make people angry have a common thread...embedded tweets.

For example, an article will make some outrageous claim about "the Right" or "the Left" and cite a random tweet as proof of the views of an entire side of the isle.

I'm really starting to believe the moment mainstream news started referencing Twitter is the moment that everything truly started going off the rails in this country...and I'm wondering how easy it would be to fix it.

Is it possible to write a browser extension that could follow the links on your Facebook Timeline, Google search results, Twitter feed, Reddit, etc and just remove/hide anything that contained an embedded tweet?
I’m with you. Renesas SuperH needs to go.
I wonder how much something like SmartBlock [0] might help with that.

From a geo-political perspective Taiwan is one basket, and not the strongest basket either.
I just got back from meeting some friends in Blaine, WA. Bald eagles hanging out everywhere.
Ask HN: Is there a C like language with keywords for parameters?
Looking for something very simple.

I just want C. But instead of having to remember the names of every parameter—I would like to call them such as:

send(fileDescriptor: 1, bytes: ptr, length: 20, flags:0);

Swift does do this—but it is terribly slow to compile. A C transpiler would be fine :)
> I love Firebase Authentication, it's such an easy way to add auth to side projects.

It's easy to use but it adds 55kB gzip to your project.

https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=@firebase/auth@0.16.4

A couple of comments on the Svelte code.

1) It doesn't makes much sense to use onMount() with listenForAuthChanges(). Just modify the currentUser writable whenever onAuthStateChanged() has an update. Now simply import and use $currentUser in your components.

2) You don't need to use currentUser.subscribe() from your .svelte files as you can use the reactive $: notation for this. You can, if it makes more sense to you, but I wouldn't say it's idiomatic.
It depends how you define success. I don’t get much, if any, email trying to sell me v1xagra anymore, but functionally email is where messages go to die. Inbox zero is laughably out of reach, with between 1,000 and 10,000 unread emails, depending on the last time I declared email bankruptcy. You can blame this situation on me, but I’m not alone here, so blaming me doesn’t solve anything, fixing email with better tools does. In my ideal world, Google would have doubled down on Inbox rather than the other way around.
An interesting question I've been thinking about, though I haven't really gotten anywhere is: At what point does a private platform become a public utility, so that censorship is not permissible on the site?

I agree that reddit shouldn't be censoring anyone or certain topics since it feel like a public utility. But if I were to have a blog, I think I should be allowed to block someone or delete certain comments based on how I think my blog should be, but my blog isn't a public utility. Or is it?
That does seem useful to have some sort of UI to see your open desktops.
They are misrepresenting the state of knowledge in that field. It has indeed been known -- since the 90s -- that there is ongoing neurogenesis in the human brain after birth. However, it is also well-known that these new neurons are produced in regions of the brain that are not relevant to Parkinson's. The specific neurons that are lost in this disease, from a region of the brain known as the substantia nigra, are not normally replaced by ongoing neurogenesis.

(I say "not normally" because redirecting neurogenesis to supply new neurons to the substantia nigra, as a treatment for Parkinson's disease, has been an ongoing area of research for decades.)

Note also that this research study was done with zebrafish, whose neurobiology is dramatically different from humans.
Nope, the version numbers on GNOME 40 packages are 40.0, not 3.40.0.
Obviously. But this comes up in conversations where the company is already okay with regular hardware overhead and where, by any reasonable accounting, it's cheaper to do it that way, but the capex premium is just so ridiculous that AWS still looks preferable.
I have been getting by with an iPad Air that has cellular and wifi connectivity no matter where i go. I do have an iPhone Pro 11 as well. Basically, I just carry these two devices wherever I go. As both are readily connected, it is very convenient for me.

For my iPad though, I also utilize a VM which I access through the Shells.com app. This allows me to have access to a Linux and Windows machine through my iPad so I have everything all in one.

That depends. As an ex-FAANG employee, I happily add a sizeable premium to my salary at the prospect of working at one of those again.
Ouch. There's 6 upvotes on this comment which I take to mean there's (at least) 6 people waiting to hear what I come up with.

Unfortunately dear co-HN'ers I've come back to you empty-handed (and two days late... oh god). I contacted a colleague who is much more knowledgeable about bottom-up evaluation than me but I haven't heard back yet and that contact, plus my light reading of sources is really 90% of the bandwidth I have to devote to this right now. I have a paper deadline on the first of May that necessarily has to take up most of my brain. If any of you 6 (or anyone else!) is still interested by that time, please email me at the email in my sig and I'll be happy to dig further then, because this is something I'm actually intersted, too.

Sorry for letting everyone down.
Nothing like industry heavyweights offloading their mistakes onto the common folk.
The main advantage of Node is that you're already using Javascript on the client side, and this lets you share code. If you've got business logic that you want to use on both client and server, keeping them in synch between two different languages is a nightmare. It's pretty much the epitome of Repeating Yourself.

That said, it's kind of a narrow domain, where your server-side logic is simple enough that you can successfully write it in Node, but complex enough that there's code you can't afford to keep synched.
Thanks, I think that's the main intuition to draw from this. But I figured OP (kragen) wanted to understand the why, also.
The author praises Firebase Auth for its ease-of-integration, but I'm leery of depending on Google products due to its support horror stories.

Can anyone recommend good, easy-to-integrate alternatives?
On an aside, I don't think Stallman or the FSF are really part of the tech freedom story anymore, whether on the PR, civil rights, or the technological front. What's the most recent FSF victory?

I'm not an expert on JS engine internals, but every time I used Hermes on a reasonably large React Native app, on Android performance absolutely tanked. It's been like that for over a year, and I just ended up disabling it, or enabling the debugger so the engine turns to Chrome's. There's always been some activity around it on the issue tracker[0] but not many solutions.

The People's Party - recently formed, channels a lot of the disappointment of Sanders supporters but also non-two-party elements

However, my personal opinion is that it is more important to develop anti-imperialism in the context of organizing independent labor unions, unemployed people's organizations, neighborhood committees, student unions and such. This has many reasons IMO which I won't go into in this thread.
