> but the company’s decision to eschew clock speed disclosures

There's one other major factor here: clock speed isn't all that useful for this new architecture full of custom-purpose cores, asymmetric cores, a new arrangement of connections between cores, etc. Actual benchmarks may be useful, but not so much a clock speed measurement (and which of those various asymmetric cores are you measuring against?).
Doesn't seem like it does. You set it yourself.

My objection is simple: I have to protect my CI queue simply because GitHub chose to count PRs from third party against my project's queue. If they simply counted them against the PR author's quota, this abuse wouldn't be happening in the first place. People would run them in discreet repos as they would gain nothing from forking or opening PRs.

Now instead of counting this CI usage in a way more favorable to project maintainers, they give us a way to manually approve runs before they use our CI. That's good, but still a solution to an artificial problem. I think I would have welcomed more openness about why this way of accounting is necessary, instead of this extra work put on me and labeled as a "help" that I never thought I needed.
I edited my comment as I think in the context of the larger discussion, ARM and Apple are basically interchangeable.
There are also a lot of people who know nothing and struggle to understand anything new and don't either brag about it or have any deeper field on understand. They can also usually tie their shoelace.
This is very interesting! Thank you!
Are there examples of Arm designs OTHER than the M1 which are suitable for consumers? Yes, the M1 is a remarkable product and it will certainly make inroads against x86 on the desktop but it is from a single company. Will Apple M1 (2, 3 etc) replace all x86 devices in a decade? That’s hard to swallow. Now, if we see another Arm product released that ALSO kicks x86 butt, from another player, then maybe I’d believe a change is happening
Here is a twist on Boyer-Moore that is obviously correct, much simpler, and much faster in practice:

You do have a point though (why I recall decade old comics as conversation pieces and not people's names... sigh) There are a lot of people on "mount stupid", in fact the chance that someone talking about a subject is trapped in the overconfidence of mount stupid is very high. In other words, most of the people you'll hear talking about something are entirely full of shit. (this is a large source of problems in our time)

There are people who don't know anything and realize it, then there are a whole lot of people who know enough to be aware that their knowledge is limited and don't want to try to talk over the overconfident folks (refuting someone sure of themselves is a lot more difficult than jabbering about your own feelings)

The people who really do know a whole lot and have the confidence to match are rare.

One thing that sticks out on HN are long discussions about things that folks have not much of an idea about. Non-computer-related engineering and farming threads are usually a shitshow of overconfident nonsense. Something to notice about computer people is they have the confidence that they can figure anything out (generally good) but frequently lack the wisdom to be aware of their knowledge (generally bad).

This is fair to be part of the study although could be varied a bit more. The error that participants make in assumptions is surprise that the market does price.
Not really because the difference is that the overall trend on Rust is still upwards (it's hard to see with the two languages on the same axis). I've been investigating Rust and it looks like it's going to cure the pain points I've had around C++ on a project I'm working on and I'm quite happy with it so far.
Depends if we're talking how they are structured vs should be structured
I think/hope we're reaching a stage where start-ups use the language which is most appropriate for their field, or where they're able to attract the right talent.

If you're in finance, there's a good chance you're using Java, C++.

If you're building a web-app, it's probably javascript/node, and likely moving to Typescript

AI? I whole lot of python.

So I'd take a look at what area you're interested in working in, and then make sure you're familiar with the language and tools which best fit that interest.
Maybe a quick litmus test to identify such people is those who refer to themselves as ‘thought leaders’ on LinkedIn /s

Our performance is independent of the collection size, thanks to dynamic sharding. You can expect 50-100ms pretty much regardless of size.

We don't support external SQL joins yet. Depending on what you're trying to do, we have an upcoming feature that might do the job.

At 100M vectors you're well into "volume discount" territory. Even more so with 3B vectors, as you mentioned in another comment. The free trial is capped at 10GB but shoot me an email (greg@pinecone.io) to get around it for a proper test and pricing estimate.
Author misunderstands severely. It's not just about individuality. There is a lot about love and kindness to others and yourself. Article doesn't mention other stoics, like Epictetus, who was a slave, and wrote an extensive philosophy on his experiences. Isn't it amazing that a Roman emperor and a Greek slave both wrote about similar observations despite wildly different lives? Buddhism also overlaps a bit, mainly in condemning attachment as the root of all suffering. Anyway, the author should just enjoy his hedonism without needing to bash others or feel ashamed.
The main reason to use new formats online is to speed up page loading. Sites that do this usually have WebP (and now AVIF) and a safe format (JPG, PNG) as fallback.

Often the size reduction is worth the extra disk space. Many sites also use CDNs that convert images on the fly, so they just need one file/URL and then the CDN sends WebP to browsers that support it and JPG to browsers that don't.
It’s just evolution juice.

I realized, and I might be wrong, but this person almost certainly accidentally sold their domain at a low price and wants a refund. The example about them buying ua may or may not have happened but the point is they are mad that they didn’t get special treatment and I think that’s their general grievance. A grievance I can understand and agree with, but for which we should admit there’s not much we can do about it, and deflecting to a megacorporation won’t make it right.

IT interviews versus how well you'll perform on the job are often poles apart in my experience. The interview is an artificial environment where, what a lot candidates are introverts in my experience, get uncomfortable, so in turn start to stress over factors and that makes logical thinking tricky.

I especially hate contrived technical challenges that never come up in their normal daily routine, that's especially galling. I haven't had to worry about linked lists or n-Queens since university, yet some jobs seem to love presenting you with it.

It'd be a frequent topic on comedies I reckon if IT were a bigger industry. I'd love to see builders, electricians etc going through the hoops I've seen some interviewers make IT candidates.
I remain interested in seeing how much of Apple's lead is the process size, and how much is engineering prowess.

That is, would a more generic new ARM Neoverse on 5nm perform at roughly the same clip? I suppose AWS's Graviton 3 would be the first place to see that, or something close to it.
This story is so appalling that I genuinely have a hard time understanding it.

So Egypt has some sort of law, that allows the government to imprison people who have committed no crime indefinitely?
Having worked there, you drown out the catwalks and just consider them like fancy camera monitoring. We never, ever saw law enforcement, so it was out of sight, out of mind.
The math behind this is wrong. It’s taking a naive average of your confidence scores so that if your average confidence level is 95% then you must think you got 9.5 of 10 correct.

No, if I answered 95% confidence on all 10 then my estimate of the probability I got at least one wrong is 1 - .95^10 = 40%. Whereas if I answered 100% confidence on 9 and 50% confidence on one, then i am predicting 50% probability that I got 9, and 50% probability I got all 10.

I assume the paper is riddled with similar mathematical errors. You can’t just average probabilities together like that.
Exactly! Since most ELT tools (including Airbyte) support json + csv output formats, those work perfectly well with Materialize out-of-the-box. I'm playing around with Slack+Stripe Airbyte sources to try and come up with some fun dashboards to show off in Materialize as we speak.
You know full well many people will share this article, never read past the headline, and repeat it. The sentiment held in the headline will be the one that persists and the damage to Musk and Tesla’s reputation will be done, even though the truth is that you would need to artificially rig up the car to defeat its safety measures.
I don't have actual expert knowledge in anything but a bit of knowledge of a broad range of things. So there's certainly a spectrum of "1" where you have all levels of actual knowledge.

It reads like someone is just grumpy dividing it up like that.
The quote of the article for me:

> So apparently a ship, sailing under the Panamanian flag, owned by a Japanese company, operated by a German company, staffed by Indians and stuck in Egypt has no international guarantees of rights for its workers not to end up in a kind of floating solitary confinement.
What Makes a Great Fintech App? Lessons from 11 Top Apps – CleverTap
What makes a great Fintech app? We looked at the top 11 apps in the space to uncover fascinating takeaways and learned even more about the world of Fintech.
I remember as a kid marvelling at the thought of thousands of dollars. Imagine how much chocolate you could buy! Then I started dealing in thousands and my sense of scale increased. Hundreds of thousands because of property. Then you deal with multiple properties, and you've moved to the beginnings of millions. More properties, bigger projects and you're in 10s of millions fairly quickly.

Its kind of like starting out on a 14" monitor and then getting a 30" monitor. At one point was sheer amazement but after awhile of operating at a larger magnitude your sense of scale adjusts. You get used to it. Adaptation is real. That big monitor just blends into the background and smaller monitors seem quaint and constricted.

I sometimes deal with storages in the petabyte range. The number of drives and equipment required to get a petabyte currently requires significant construction. Under my desk is a 60TB array that was built in an afternoon. That used to be large. Now I treat that as just long term storage for a 16TB SSD array. That was unfathomably huge for a persistent ram disk. The first hard disk I bought as a component I installed was a 400MB disk. I remember when 1.4MB floppy disks were huge. Because I started out with 5.25" which held 360k.

Its all about expectations, utility and what you are doing with these numbers. If it helps, you can make up a unit of your own as a temporary placeholder. Eg if I was thinking about property as a developer then 1.5 million might be an "average property". Then I would mentally think in those terms. 15 million is then just 10 properties.

If 10 million is a rounding error and this still seems weird then you need to scale accordingly.

In reality, all the numbers we use are huge, we just don't see it because of the units we talk in. Eg an ordinary orange or apple is made of millions of atoms. But you aren't overwhelmed because you think of it as one piece of fruit. You feel no problem having and thinking about a dozen pieces.

A slice of an apple can be seen as a rounding error compared to a dozen apples. How many water molecules are in that "rounding error"?
Apple differentiates the majority of their products by generation rather than binning. If you buy a low-end iPad, you get an A12; the iPad Air steps you up to an A14; and the iPad Pro gets you an M1.

This is less evident on the Macintosh side of the business right now because they're just trying to get M1 silicon into as many product lines as their fab capacity will allow. They don't actually have an M2 (or even M1X) to sell high-end products with yet, which is why they're starting with low-end products first. When they release upgraded chips, they will almost be used to transition the high end models with lower-end product getting it later.
Only if I can buy a desktop/laptop with a powerful ARM processor and plug-in a bootable usb and install operating system (arm version) of my choice with all drivers etc working fine.
Let's get more specific. What is reasonable compensation that should Egypt demand?
> I'm skeptical of any sorting of things into two bins, people or otherwise.

Reminds me of the saying that there are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don’t.
Assuming the M1 performance extrapolates to desktop power/cooling it's going to be a monster chip. If that is the case I think apple will not stop at having the fastest watch/phone/tablet/laptop/PC. Why not go after the datacenter and leave money (a ton of money) on the table?

> Another option is requiring service providers to put up a surety bond. Before they are allow to participate in the ecosystem, they must set aside a lump sum on the blockchain held in escrow. These funds would be used to compensate any customers harmed by failure to honor storage contracts. But this has the effect of creating additional barriers to entry and locking away capital in a very unproductive way.

If bonds solve the bad actor problem, then this use of capital would directly enable safe data storage. I guess it depends on your definition of “productive”, but that definitely feels like a good use of capital to me.
The issue is that to a jury, being in the defendant's seat is strike one, having a cop testify against you is strike two... it doesn't take much to convict the innocent if a DA and the police start pushing for it.
Arrg, that came out wrong. Asses are donkeys, not mules.
I read the article, and it doesn't sound to me like they are removing math classes in the name of equity. It sounds like they are moving away from having kids only learn Algebra for a year and then only learn geometry for a year. And instead have students learn a variety of mathematical concepts. The article said: "concepts courses wouldn't eliminate algebraic ideas but rather interweave multiple strands of mathematics throughout the courses. Those included data analysis, mathematical modeling, functions and algebra, spatial reasoning and probability."

Honestly, that doesn't sound bad to me. It sounds more like how people actually use math in life and in work, rather than forcing kids to all of sudden only care about geometry for an entire year.
Curious, does this confidence level factor into any sort of Kelly Criterion-type calculation for what percentage of a portfolio to risk during a given trade? What quantitative factors enable someone to calibrate their confidence level for a market making event?
Of course, and of all the categories, it is those of this bunch that actually keep the world running in terms of what ultimately matters for us humans.

As Mark Twain said, "Buy land, they're not making it anymore". Nothing can make land "free". The planet's resources are vast but finite. If people continue reproducing with no limits they're reducing everyone's share of the pie. This is the actual reason why "the poor gets poorer", there's more of them but the resources stay the same.

This is the same logic that explain why building more roads does not reduce traffic congestion, because new demand is created to use the new roads and the traffic stays bad.
Exactly! Being a market maker means constantly interacting with counterparties that have more information than you. In order to be successful you must utilize the core information they do not have: you are in the center of the order flow. Essentially, you must try to infer the knowledge that others possess by utilizing information about how they trade with you.
The smartphone ARM and chromebook ARM processors are nowhere near the M1 or x86 CPU in terms of performance. You need an M1 kind performance in these devices outside of Apple.

No, the ship owner abandoned their ship and Egypt wants the trashing to be paid. That's not their fault. The methods to get there are not ideal but given the matroshka method of hiding responsibility I don't see what else they could have done.
Your heart just breaks for those kids competing in the IMO. Their peers from other nations are going to go to college, maybe stick with math but they have a million opportunities ahead of them to use their talents. Meanwhile these kids are getting conscripted into being crooks.

I really can’t imagine how bitter that would make me feel.
They still ask these questions...they were asking them in the 2000s, I actually assumed they stopped asking this stuff.

They demonstrate absolutely nothing. All they test for is whether you know enough about the recruiting process to know they are going to ask you some daft question about the number of windows in a city (this is called second-level thinking, it is useful in finance, it is always interesting that ppl who work in finance don't understand that...they usually ask these questions because someone asked them at their interview).

If you want to know whether someone can trade: ask them what they are trading already, and just sit them down at the desk and see what happens.

Investment banks are the grade-A example of terrible/illogical hiring (although one that largely achieves the goal of hiring more people like the people who already work at investment banks).

Also, thinking that you can master uncertainty isn't really the point. You can't. The whole discussion is pointless. It took me a very long time to realise that the neuralgia that people who work in finance have around uncertainty (largely a function of hiring practices at banks/educational background and including myself) was predictably profitable (the second-level thinking here is realising that someone lifting your bid/offers in a trading game doesn't represent reality because in reality, the person you are trading with under conditions of uncertainty doesn't have perfect information or even more information than you...so when uncertainty increases, the potential profit increases). Thinking that you can harness the vagaries of life and your own irrationality or poor decision-making skills is, however, common amongst people with a lot of education...and totally wrong (it is an irrational fear of uncertainty borne of a heavily structured life with prescribed questions and answers).

Ok, but that makes my argument stronger: if trial wins are practically a lay-up for the prosecution, you have to be prosecuting seriously dogshit cases to make going to trial attractive for a majority of your defendants.
My point was that "a service operates in the open" is compatible with "the customers of the service require confidentiality". Medical services are an example of that, an example in which people think that the need for confidentiality is so high that they made laws for it.

If they need a similar law for prostitution, they could pass one (I wouldn't be surprised if one already exists for a sufficiently broad category of "theraputic" services), but I doubt it would be necessary—at a brothel, only someone who verifies ages even needs to see a client's ID (and I suspect they could cover up the name); and as I said, it's strongly against the brothel's interest for there to even be rumors of non-confidentiality. I suspect a law would only move it from 99% privacy to 99.9% or something.
A startup is not something magical that must comply with certain rules.
