The semiconductor supply chain is now almost completely disaggregated ie everyone specialises in just a small part of the value chain. ARM’s speciality is in CPU design and it has carved out for itself the enviable position of being the defacto standard for mobile applications - almost every single phone on the planet has ARM processor(s) running it. And their products are in dozens of other end applications segments as well. These chips are embedded in System on Chip IC’s and manufactured by third party companies like TSMC and UMC etc to end customer specifications, like Apple or Samsung for example.

The problem with the original SoftBank deal, and now the Nvidia deal, is that these companies will simply hollow ARM out (slash R&D, cut staff etc) to pump up the target’s value, before flogging it off or breaking it up. The stock market doesn’t value synergies, although it is quite happy to punt this aspect when M&A deals are in the offing. Given its strategic position as the defacto standard for mobile comms, that’s a serious threat.

ARM also gives the UK strategic leverage in any trade negotiations. Would we knowingly allow Rolls-Royce Jet Engines to be flogged off? No. Ditto ARM.

So, I think this is the right policy and hopefully the government will see fit to step into other deals like this and block them.

I’ve been through a PE acquisition. We were stripped bare and bits sold off before finally getting our mojo back. I benefited handsomely but we were not the company we were before and the job losses in the process were huge. It will be no different with Nvidia’s proposed take over of ARM.

(disclaimer: I was a semiconductor executive in a global MNC).
Two things, are they unsure the attack could have worked the way they describe, or are they unsure the attack actually happened that way?

From the viewpoint of the public it would be important to know what made this attack possible, and how to defend against it, even if the actual attack was accomplished some other way.

I guess what I'm asking is, do they know how to repeat this attack?

I am very happy with Elm on frontend. When working with Haskell I tend to generate most of frontend types for Elm directly from haskell with elm-street (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/elm-street)

The downside of Elm simplicity in comparison to haskell is inability to express even simplest typeclases like Ord, or very useful constructions like Lenses.
Also, my Julia REPL is in a term buffer in vim, and I communicate with it (in both directions) from my editing buffer using the vim-sendtowindow plugin.
There are quite a few people who have done this (myself included). The process is pretty straightforward since they have nearly identical chassis. r/Thinkpad has a lot of details on how to do it. The toughest part is covering the right connections on the ribbon cable for the 220 keyboard since the pinouts are slightly different. It is a fun little project and the keyboards can be found pretty cheaply on eBay.
Its obvious, firstly the bank is not going to mess with chips designs and block off customers the way Nvidua might becauae to it, they are conpetitirs.

Secondly, Nvidia will probably restructure / absorb ARM. At the moment its corporate structure is mostly intact
We get our panties in a bunch (and I do too) about the real high end fabs for CPUs, but push-come-to-shove there _are_ fabs in the UK.

Infineon (German owned) and Nexperia (Dutch owned) both own fabrication plants in the UK, so it's possible to scale that up if we were at war, the knowledge is here.
Like on Wikipedia, which we borrowed the design from, popups can be controlled & disabled with the 'gear' icon.

I'm not sure what you mean by "can't actually click on them". Popups are positioned away from the link and do not cover up the original link, which can be clicked on like normal. (You can also click on the obvious thing in the popup, the title, which is a hyperlink to the original.)

The scroll thing is definitely bad, but fixing it is a little difficult. (GreaterWrong solves it by a hybrid of 2 listeners which tries to guess if you are mousing or scrolling instead of just on-hover.) I don't know if/when that will be fixed. In the mean time, I'm boosting the timeout since more than one person has complained about popups being too quick.
Having all ports on one side is one of many reasons I like the Argon ONE case. It uses an add-on board to redirect the A/V and power ports, which also converts the HDMI ports to full sized versions.

These are separate: media has a financial incentive in crises, media has on several occurrences taken recent actions that stir up their crises more than reasonably incident in getting the facts.

These two are separately supported, one does not suggest the other independently, but considered together can be argued to be a motivation and resulting action.

Doctors make money from more sick people: true. If we found that doctors we’re poisoning the water supply frequently, we might take that observation and consider it in the light of their financial incentives.

>The government doesn’t need everyone to have an account at the central bank in order to deposit money directly into their account.

It does make it a lot easier. The US, for example, was issuing stimulus cheques because there was no way to directly transfer funds into bank accounts. The UK had the same problem, so they pushed their stimulus through employers. In both cases there was no direct pipe from the central bank to the intended recipient which is what I think is most of what BoE is trying to achieve.

QE was the equivalent of using a waterfall to put out a candle. If you squint hard enough and get drunk on supply-side wonk-juice you could convince yourself it worked.

This debate over the "directness" of modern writing really seems to be unique to 21st century English. We have a very direct and prosal language and a culture which places efficiency above all else.

Neither is bad, but our writing style is really interesting.

I recently worked with a large Elm codebase. The original authors had moved on long ago, and nobody in the current team understood the code or Elm. There were weird state bugs all over the place. Like, you would click on a thing, it would dispatch an API request and immediately render content with stale data, then re-render once the API response came back. If the API request errored, it would hide the error and display the incorrect, stale data. It was horrible. I spent a couple hours trying to figure out how state updates in the project work. Couldn't figure it out. Went back to doing the work I was actually paid to do, which was to hack new features/changes on top of the existing mess.
> “The problem we face today is that too many banks are failing to consider climate harm when they make financing decisions, and too much money is being ploughed into carbon-intensive activities that we so desperately need to move away from,” said Natasha Landell-Mills, head of stewardship at UK asset manager Sarasin & Partners.

The question remains: how will you do activities like e.g. making steel in a "green" manner? Moving money around cannot alone answer that question; finance can only help by moving money toward new technology that can perform the jobs of the old, non-green tech. What are these investors willing to invest in to make the needed tech?

Sorry, sounds like you don't want to accept that Elixir is on the up, for whatever reason.

So it appears modern smartphones have a power consumption of about a Watt (see cousin post). Assuming a transflective display, that laptop could use a similar amount of power. Assuming a 20cm x 30cm charge area and 1000Watt/m2, you need to only capture 1.7% of the energy of the directly incident sunlight [1]. Or assuming your panel has 10% effiency, you need to get 17% of direct sun light light onto the surface. Thats a fair allowance for clouds and weird angles and whatnot.

Probably because in the US, often when one of these killings happens, it comes out that the officer who killed had in fact passed the trainings put in place the last time an officer killed someone. If you’re not following these things super closely you could be forgiven for not knowing this, but for those of us who do, the suggestion of “just train them better” generally feels pretty hollow at this point. It might work elsewhere, but it hasn’t worked here.
Funny. When I watched that sequence, I was thinking the opposite. That the length of the clapping and cheering would be "too much" for me. I imagined myself being in that room. I probably would have beed very happy, smiling and showing a "thumbs up" sign or something. But I would not clap or cheer. And I certainly would not want to be hugged by some scientist next to me :)

How do other engineers here on HN feel about it?
I find piano roll a lot easier to write/produce but a lot harder to sight-read.

I actually find hooktheory's system, where it's diatonic and accidentals are based on the active chord, not the current key, to be the easiest to understand relationships, but also hardest to translate into concrete notes to play.
I've come to find Datomic less than great for prototyping in situations where my data model is evolving. Since your history of data is immutable you get to live with all of your mistakes forever, you can't really just write a migration that shifts from one data model to the next.

If I had to guess, I'd say the conflict is much much likelier to come back post-Brexit. Now that we're out of the EU, the "open movement" hack made possible by mutual EU membership no longer works without knock-on effects (customs checks, blah blah). I can't see Boris Johnson falling on the sword to safekeep the peace in NI, so if the push comes to shove, NI is more likely to be left to fend for themselves.

The stock trade settlement time has little to do with the financial system, but more with how stock trading is organised.

There are quite a few steps before actual stocks can change hands. For instance the seller could have sold without actually owning the stocks, it might be he even can't deliver them, in which case the clearing will have to take care of that, etc.
All these steps could have been automated long ago if the will was there, the reason they haven't is not because of the currency used but because of traditional common practice and legacy reasons.

I agree, the one person who was excited looked like she stifled herself because the energy in the room was so low. Considering what they just achieved, and how much work they put into the project... I mean, we celebrate more when we have a successful sprint.
Actually given their extreme reach and near monopoly over information they could probably try to change how people use black and white to refer to skin color which would certainly be a far more noble cause than bikeshedding these weird internal language standards to make themselves look good.
I think you’re picking the wrong stats here. The article says that 55 unarmed people were killed by police last year. If armed people are killed by police in a shootout, that isn’t the same sort of obvious tragedy that a plane crash is.

A fringe of the scientific advisors to various Western governments for the COVID epidemic have given interviews where they advocate for mask-wearing and social distancing to continue in perpetuity even after COVID because of influenza, but they seem to assume it would only make sense if everyone wore a mask all the time. Influenza spreaders often spread the virus before they start to feel ill and think to put a mask on.

Coding as a Hobby?
Confession: I’m not a great programmer, even though I’ve done a few University level courses. Once upon a time I thought I might be able to go pro, but wasn’t to be. I want to take up coding as a hobby, though, because I really enjoy it. I have a busy job, which has nothing to do with coding, and I don’t practice. But I also don’t really have a project.

Any suggestions? Where to start?
Being dependent on the US turns out to be not a great strategic scenario in this decade.

(Speaking as a Canadian who has watched 30 years of continental economic integration and heard lots of friendly talk since the campaign for the 1988 Free Trade Agreement but now back of the line waiting for vaccines imported from Europe because the US won't export to us and our domestic manufacturing was sold off decades ago because of said continental integration.)

Also the US itself has used the "national security" excuse for trade issues multiple times over the last few years where it was seemingly not the case (steel & aluminum trade disputes, etc). So the precedent has been set. And there's little sign of Biden really doing much to reverse that.
Part of what made the US hit the panic button was that Huawei was poised to be the premier maker of 5G equipment all over the world.
Guys, please try to read about "digital currency" before writing snarky replies and downvoting.

Currency is currently not digital in the sense meant here. Otherwise the BoE and other central banks would not discuss the possibility of issuing digital currency. It's rather the banks' ledgers and transfer instructions that are digital.

In my previous comment I have only tried to explain what CBDC is. Perhaps I did not do a good job if so please feel free to provide a better explanation that would benefit everyone.

> "currency isn't digital because it's not this token

I have not written that, so I think you do not understand the topic. Here for reference to start with:

The problem is, we're not doing that anymore, and crime is returning to its worst levels in history, as bad as the 70s and 80s. A man on parole for killing his mother just beat an Asian woman half to death in NYC. There's currently a manhunt for a man in Texas who raped a 16 year old, spent a little over two weeks in jail before bailing out some paltry sum, then proceeded to shoot 2-3 people. This is a daily reality.

- Visibility angle is much better than any other alternative. This is crucial when one big display is used in a very large room instead of many small displays.

- Image sharpness and contrast is excellent. You can read text on an old flip display far away that you would struggle to read on a modern LCD if you have mild astigmatism.

- Perfectly readable on a sunny day.

- They can show colored logos and symbols (e.g. train type, airline, highlight warnings)

- Better failure mode than LCD: single digits fail independently from each other and can be replaced. But it's less likely that the entire display fails.

- They are either working or stuck - no fading out like CRTs.
