While Intel 10 nm SuperFin might be comparable in density with TSMC 7 nm, it definitely is much worse for the yields of chips with large area.

Six years ago, in 2015, Intel had no problems to introduce the smaller Skylake U and the larger Skylake H at the same time.

Now, Intel needs more than half of year to increase the yields of 10 nm SuperFin enough to be able to introduce the larger Tiger Lake H after the smaller Tiger Lake U introduced last year.

This happens even if now the area difference between Tiger Lake H and Tiger Lake U is not so great as in the previous generations, because a good part of the twice larger CPU is compensated by the 3 times smaller GPU.

On the other hand, the previous variant of the Intel 10 nm process (non-SuperFin), which is still used for Ice Lake Server, has much worse electrical properties than the TSMC 7 nm, because at the same number of active cores and the same power consumption AMD Epyc 7xx3 can have a clock frequency up to 50% higher.

Moreover, the similar density of the Intel process means absolutely nothing when the competition using the TSMC process can deliver a more than 3 times greater L3 cache memory at the same price and in the same package size.

The density does not have any importance if you cannot deliver more transistors in a given package, because you cannot manufacture large enough chips and because you have been unable to predict that you will never be able to manufacture large enough chips, so that you should have designed from the beginning your product as multi-chip.

I'd have to think it through more, but my gut says that I don't care if the bet is secret. Although I would separately support a law that all elected officials must have extreme transparency into their finances.

I think people should give up all of their right to privacy (when it comes to business, finances, travel, and even conversations) when they acquire a large amount of power. In my head, a US senator would have that much power and that little privacy, whereas a US representative in the House would not.

What they are demonstrating is that this is a generic non-statement. It's like saying martial arts and lifting build discipline. Sure, and so do a 1000 other things, including Yoga. It's a vague non-statement.

All of these interpretations border on the occult. At the end of the day, yoga is like meditation - it needs to be clearly defined. Decoupled from all the mysticism, it's just a bunch of exercises.

India definitely had some cool fitness systems, but they are mostly lost, like their martial arts.

Until there is a clear "do y, get x", this is all overly-obfuscated to build mystique.

I.e. "lift weights 3x8 3x a week, be able to lift 1-5% more weights in 2 weeks". Very clear, very defined. None of that here with yoga.
Ask HN: What tools do you use to collect and manage user feedback?
At your company, what tools do y'all use to collect and manage feedback from your users?

We currently use a combination of Jira + Github + Notion, but sometimes it's hard to consolidate feedback from all the various channels (video interviews, emails, in-app chat, etc.)

Curious if anyone has a good system set up for getting, prioritizing, managing, and then following up on feedback?
The real problem the US, Japan and EU are facing is that the system is way too stable and resilient, the COVID stimulus should have created enough inflation to bring the economy back to a normal state yet it completely failed to do so.

The last 20 years were marked by the corporate savings rate increasing, meaning companies are not investing. This could be related to China and various other factors but it is clear that the Fed and the government has done enough to help corporations, they are doing so extremely well that they don't need any more help. The mistake from the start was that the government didn't help citizens enough. It didn't create enough jobs or it didn't return those excess corporate savings to the population forcibly. The reason why wealth redistribution is popular is that excess savings are zero sum, for the corporate savings rate to go up, either total investment has to go up (it hasn't) or the household savings rate has to go down. There is a similar dynamic with rich vs poor.

The corrosion you speak of doesn't exist. The system is way too stable, far more stable than should be possible, that's the real problem. Your dollars, by that I mean the dollars corporations and therefore the wealthy own, aren't losing value fast enough.
True but you buy a house with leverage. So if you put 20% down and the house doubles in value your return is 500%, on top of being able to deduct your taxes and most of your monthly payment (as interest), and when you sell (after 2 years) you don’t pay taxes on $250k of the proceeds ($500k per couple).
If you wrote the rules for yourself, they would probably be more lenient :)

Everyone whose food supply depends on electronic supply chain management (ie everyone who is not actively farming their own food _right now_) is also going to be in for a pretty rough time though. Or everyone who needs gasoline for transport because they live a non-walkable distance from the nearest food and water.
True - but you gotta live somewhere. And I had 3 kids living at home so a 2 BR apartment wasn't going to cut it. So, paying the same as I'd pay in rent for less housing, enjoying tax breaks and doubling my asset value - that's a win!

Tailscale is awesome, you should use it for everything.

This Linux DNS stuff drives us batty at Fly.io. We run user containers as Firecracker VMs; users belong to "organizations", and organizations share a private IPv6 network. We do DNS for that private network under the fake "internal" TLD, so if you have an app "phoenix-frontend" and another app "rabbitmq-cluster", they can see each other at "phoenix-frontend.internal" and "rabbitmq-cluster.internal".

What you'd want in a perfect work is an option in `/etc/resolv.conf` that sends `.internal` to a special nameserver, and everything else to a normal nameserver. But as far as I can tell, there's no way to take a bare Linux VM that can accept an arbitrary container and set that capability up.

So instead, we end up (by default; you could override) serving _all_ customer DNS, and our `.internal` server has to forward recursive queries to things that aren't `.internal` somewhere else. This sucks; we shouldn't have to be inline for arbitrary customer DNS.

If there's a clean way to resolve this, so that the VM itself can just send `.internal` queries to us, and everything else to `1.1.1.1` or `8.8.8.8` or whatever the customer's container had, I would _love_ to hear it. I've come pretty close to breaking out preload in anger over this problem.
I mostly agree, but you are forgetting sales tax and fees. Maintenance is a thing too, if you aren't buying new.
Hi there, appreciate your opinion. Shame to hear you're not interested, because your voice could be valuable as the platform's culture develops.

Our belief is that the average human is not a bad person, so if we leave moderation to them, bad people will be removed. We're taking a wait-and-see approach rather than proactively treating our users like criminals despite their current positivity and respect for each other.

Every decision on the platform's direction will be taken with the user's utility in mind. We don't see selling user data as being helpful for users, so we won't be doing this.

I find it hard to see how people are even thinking that it's the gambling that's being rewarded. It doesn't take much to check that pure gambling is unlikely you to win you money on average, and that those who do make money are (again, on average) doing something more than just gambling.

What’s the portability between SQLite and something like Postgres or MySQL? Can you easily start with SQLite and then go to one of the others easily? If so I don’t see why you wouldn’t always start noodling with SQLite.
Let me strengthen my position by adding that it is also moral and ethical to seek a return by investing, providing you make reasonably ethical investments.

But you cannot compare products based on the mistakes programmers make. We are all human. Any tool can be misused though.

I think "do not share memory with multiple writers" is in the same category as "do not use a default user/pass, only allow access from the LAN".

Both are programmer errors not related to the specific products they are implemented on top of.
I completely agree!! We see 20-100x performance from DuckDB over SQLite for OLAP style queries.
> The idea of using one DB user per end user is, at best, novel and untested

Its a technique older in continuous use with RDBMSs and more battle-tested than, say, the web itself, and plenty of enterprises (even the kind that have apps that not only don’t provided direct DB access to their frontend, but don’t even provide their backend access to tables or views but mediate all external access to the DB through sprocs) have it as a security norm and (correctly) view apps that manage end-user access outside of the database as taking a relatively novel, untested, and risky approach.
You can't beat gdb+opencd.
As I understand it, the attack here is that the user in question has an account on site A, and site A is able to share the user's cohort IDs with other websites and this allows the creation of a unique tracking profile across all websites over time

Depending on what you are prototyping I would recommend Python, Ruby, or Perl.

Python's "batteries included" approach and numerous libraries make it easy to build prototypes quickly.

Ruby (and Rails) have been used to create the first generation MVPs for many startups in the past. If you have Ruby experience, it's a good choice for prototyping.

Perl is good for prototyping command-line and system tools. The early versions of Git were partially-implemented in Perl.
I believe for a proper implementation it would be done transactionally. So if the program crashed then that record wouldn’t be written but the DB wouldn’t be corrupted.
So you're saying that BTC will be a good currency once it stops being deflationary?

Yup. 30 feet or 10 meters is about the limit for comfortable improvisation. Really large orchestras can require musicians to compensate. I had to do this once when my school's band joined up with a National Guard band to form a huge orchestra for an 1812 Overture. (With actual cannon!)

Yes we have a definition, but it's being misapplied in an irksome way. Doubly so since it's a self-application by some company's marketing team. Let's not torture that cherished definition to try to defend their misapplication.

And frankly, if being able to pay for computing power is "democratizing" it, it's already long been democratized.
I heard of a wealthy family that had managed to maintain their wealth in Europe across multiple generations, through lots of war, upheaval, regime change, and so on. Their formula was "one third gold, one third art, one third land". You could lose any piece of it in any upheaval, but you wouldn't be likely to lose all of it.
I am just throwing a number out there but I would hazard to guess at least 90% of applications would do just fine with RDBMS with an ORM and standard settings. You don't need to write your own SQL so you can get just what you want.

Let your backend application worry about the SQL.

Return fraud

Renting or Wardrobing: When someone buys an item specifically on a short-term basis with the intent to return it, this is known as renting or wardrobing. An example is buying a dress for a special occasion and returning it after it has been worn."

At times, in certain cases, it can serve to "align" the article relative to readers' expectations and beliefs. When the article is promoting a controversial position, it can help to show readers that "people like them" agree with it.

In most cases, though, it's more likely included as a sort of "Carthago delenda est" to beat the drum for the author's preferred cultural crusade.

Calling inflating prices "stable" is doubletalk, whether or not the policy is a good idea.

The inflation-targeting policy framework dates from 1980ish, influenced by Friedman's monetarism and "rational expectations", as I understand it (poorly). In the decades before that, after the Depression and WW2, the official policy was more Keynesian in flavor. But that was not the rationale to create the Fed, again.

More recently since 2008 and especially 2020, it's looking like a new regime again, and I wouldn't count on the next decade looking like the past several.
It's incredible that "safeguarding public security" is unqualified, there should be a law that specifies exactly how such things are evaluated or it should be forbidden to put such loopholes in law.

My respect for law as a field of study is starting to be around the same as my respect for finance as a legitimate business.

The people who actually study how to write law are mathematicians (including to various extent the applied mathematicians, which range from programmers through engineers and all the way to the probability theorists a.k.a. "scientists").

One day I hope we can clear up the misunderstanding in our society about the extent of our reliance on mathematics and stop acting as if "we cannot engineer solutions to social problems" - these glorified scammers that write the law and run the economy are the cancer that is killing everything.

You don’t go around kicking people in the stomach just because if you wouldn’t, somebody else probably would.

When you are a company the scale of Amazon you have no excuse to not treat the people who make your services possible well. Of course there will be different levels for different jobs, but Amazon should have treated their employees with respect and been using their weight to lift the wage floor.

This of course is true for all companies but especially for the giants.
I think they're too aware that with real dollar inflation probably running at least 10% per year (per Michael Saylor), they'd loose too much value for them to consent to holding only cash for 2 to 6 years. For every $100K they had, they'd end up holding something near $81K down to $53K in real purchasing power... and that's assuming they were content to only stay in power one term.
FYI, if you don't bother opening the link, systemd-resolv sets the /etc/resolv.conf to have only 127.0.0.1 as a DNS server. You can see how things get bad when the CoreDNS pod tries to get the "upstream" DNS servers from the host /etc/resolv.conf

When a form on a web-site says CC (Credit Card) I can always pay with my debit card. (Unless you're talking about another sort of debit card that isn't what I call a debit card - "a MasterCard/Visa/etc with no overdraft).

To me it seems like some people use the term "credit card" for any bank card, while some actually mean the "credit" part. While "credit" (non-debit) cards don't seem to be THAT popular in the European part of the world, I think that bank cards are pretty much ubiquitous.
Can anyone cite a source for this? I don't doubt the legitimacy, but would like to know more about it.
Not really. Zoom applies lots of noise canceling and other filters, so your raw audio doesn't correspond to what you actually sound like to other people (unless you use "original audio").
Many of the timelapses uses images from different time of year etc so you see different hues across frames. Would it be possible to apply something like neural style transfer across the frames (from a representative frame) to smooth the colors out without changing the features in the frames?
I've bought counted cards at casinos and played poker semi-professionally and this is just wrong.

In Blackjack the other players are not really relevant, the count stays the same and on average you will be about equally profitable with or without them. They might increase the variance a little but they reduce the attention the dealer pays on you and my team never minded others on the table.

In Hold'em and Omaha you WANT weaker players, they are in short supply, and you will expect to have an edge against someone that barely knows the rules, too.
