hasn't even launched into space yet SLS

I'm no fan of SLS, but check your terminology here: You're talking about Starship in the present tense, but it hasn't launched _either_, so you can't say it "can" go to the moon etc either.

Starship is awesome, but it's an insanely ambitious project. No one knows how long it'll take to get it right.
Since Microsoft strapped OpenSSH into Windows 10, we can assume ssh-keygen is the most ubiquitous ed25519 management tool; anything using OpenSSH format will be widely supported.

Does this run just about everywhere?

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f testkey
"By now"? Where is the evidence that SARS-CoV2 has decreased its severity through mutation?
Any practical deployment would consist of turbine farms. A single (couple of) turbine is just something you experiment on.
Some parents have told me they make choices for religious reasons.

The most common story I hear is of parents who get a lot of information and try to make a good choice, but ultimately get overwhelmed and choose 'at random' from what's available.
I think it's the same basic process.

Lay down in bed, looking at the ceiling, the main light just to the side of your central vision. And the lamp disappears (until your move your eyes) :-)
100% agreed. However, these anecdotal tales have no science and research behind them so references cannot be produced.
Apple has had a vision for this for at least 12-13 years. Most likely, ever since (before) the transition to Intel.

The first A-series chip they officially released and named was the A4 in March 2010. That is 11 years ago. That is the beginning of M1. And the reason is originally in this amazing Ars Technica article [1]. Apple has always wanted to fully control the entire stack.

Any competitors in the same space lack either the vision, or the products, or the money to do the same thing. In the case of Microsoft and Google, their internal politics don't allow them to do the same thing (Google couldn't care less about hardware because the Web is where Google's money at; MS cares about hardware but traditionally they have relied on throwing money at partners to make them come up with solutions).

That's a perfectly valid question. Lots of people use Chrome because they've used Chrome, and that's the whole reason. Some people need Chrome because it supports some site or tool that they require. I recommend that everyone else at least try Safari and see what they think of it.
Brilliant and powerful statement. Kudos to Lichess. But this part:

> Imagine if scientists kept the result of every scientific study to themselves. The same work would have to be done over and over again as everyone was forced to reinvent the wheel countless times to do anything at all. Instead, scientists share their work and collaborate which benefits all of us.

raised my eyebrows. If only it were true. Aside from paywalled journals, we don't have a centralized repositories of data in most fields, probably because a lot of it is proprietary (or intends to be) in the first place.
Do medical devices and auto tech use similar components? I understand there's a lot in common, but I would think that safety constraints for one domain would cause it to not overlap with the other.

Forgive my ignorance on this, as I am but a humble software engineer who is forever in amazement at how all ICs are basically flattened rocks we shoot lightning through to make it do math real dang quick...
Nobody talking about Rocksmith here!? Really!?
Very interesting to contrast developed nations with developing ones, as usual. From this map, Brazil looks like a great country to stargaze from.
Not only developers, literally anyone. I am shocked at the amount of time an average individual spends looking for solutions to everyday-life problems when I can find answers in seconds, it's crazy, and sad. I taught my family some more advanced queries and they're loving it.
Hey- thanks for making this. I heard about it from indie hackers and I'm pretty psyched to participate. Just hanging out with the other thirsty AF indie founders on slack has made this a cool experience so far. (I doubt I'm going to get to 100, but I guess you never know)
Headless is definitely wrong.

I saw the title of this story and assumed that tiptap was going to be a component that somehow backed up various WYSIWIG editor-clients. That would be headless. (It's even useful -- the transaction system + collaboration server is theoretically a thing that could back up other clients, after all, though in practice it's going to force enough design decisions onto the clients that it's not really worth it.)

Tiptap does come with a graphical user interface, insofar as it looks like the most minimal possible use of it (from your "Minimal setup" example) will create a contenteditable surface to write in. Said surface is the "head".

I'd consider "flexible", "customizable", or "unopinionated". "Unstyled" was suggested, but although it's true I think it's misleading -- the need to construct your own toolbar goes beyond what that implies.
Good luck with the ECM. A college did a custom one and it was alot of work.

However you can probably hack together something easier that follows the AUTOSAR standard. E.g. the window elevator conteol unit or something.
You started your response saying, "I can only guess you are not in a STEM career." As if the disagreement is based on "someone who uses math" vs. "someone who doesn't use math". I disagree with the article because it intentionally misrepresents changes to the math curriculum. In reality the changes to the math curriculum of including probability, modeling, and data analysis are all very useful to people pursuing STEM careers. These changes are perfectly reasonable and even welcome. Politicizing these changes as some kind of leftist plot against math is the problem.

TL;DR India has 1400 million inhabitants. They set the world record for everything regularly. Their per capita case rate is still half that of France.
That's an excellent point about why they would rather write their own in-house software. Of course they then get saddled with having to support all of that software and may struggle to do so, which is another problem in itself.
I think "did well" is a spectrum. Some countries chose to enact very authoritarian lockdowns, and achieved success that way. Others balanced between freedoms and restrictions. Still others have to work within the bounds of their political system - what their laws permit and don't permit.

From some quick web searches, it seems to me that India did many of the things you mentioned. I'm not sure if they did all of them, or to what extent they did each one - understanding that precisely is probably not possible without being involved in those particular actions. But it doesn't seem to me like they did nothing.

> ALL countries that downplayed the pandemic ended up with second or third waves.

Do you think India downplayed the pandemic? I don't get the sense given that they did building by building lockdowns and have police patrols ushering people back into their homes. We should keep in mind that each country is different - they have different population sizes, city densities, wealth levels, infrastructure quality, Internet access, cultural priorities, and so on. China is not India - it has an authoritarian governmental system. Taiwan is not India - it's small and rich and is an island. I'm not sure these comparisons are fair.
Data Ordering Attacks
That's an extremely bad take. Cars have had and shared ICs since they became mainstream. Bosch shared electronics between Volvo, Saab, Porsche even BMW bikes as far back as the 80s. Often times parts like air fuel meters, sensors, etc are all designed and manufactured upstream by companies like Bosch or Febi or other companies that sell systems to manufacturers.

We have platforms, like the GM2900 that many cars were based on as well to reduce numbers of skus

Shortages are shortages
IMO the long-term solution is attaching an author-payment system widget to pirate sites. It's not illegal to pay authors, so a payment system can't be DMCA'd, and pirate websites pop back up like weeds and can't realistically be stamped out. Magnet links are way too portable for that and anyone can spin up a new VPS with 100MB or so of data (the size of TPB's db IIRC) to keep on going.
Blimey, I remember seeing that covered on Tomorrow's World when it was being built. It seemed like an interesting idea at the time.
Guess we have to wait for their next paper to find out.
Different Ways I Make Money as a Software Developer – You Can Too
I used Cinema 4D for years and a few months ago I gave a try to Blender. I have to say I was extremely impressed. I did some digging and it turns out Blender has an amazing product focused management thats main goal is to serve the users. Extremely well executed product management.
So 500 peiple stole millions and the prosecution cannot show where a single penny went, noone even got a new car or TV? Did they eat the money?

And all the evodence the prosecution has are electronic records, entirely in their control, which they could fake and which were never checked by a third party for basic errors? This is a colossal miscarriage of justice
The only thing common about knowledge or sense is that most people don't have it
Media & Entertainment being a tiny part of their revenue fits with the general wisdom that the market for general purpose 3D software is virtually non-existent. The software is costly to build and maintain and combined with a small customer base and thus high licencing prices, this is a killer.
I live next to a U.S. Marine Air Station. Until you get to share the full force of F/A-18s buzzing your place at full throttle, you haven't lived. Seriously - very loud.....
Sometimes, automotive components are just better QA'd (validated) regular components.
I learned Maya on Irix, then purchased a License for Plug In development on Windows around 2004, which was pre-Python support. I really got to knew the DAG very well, as well as rendering custom helper tools in the viewport. It was extremely flexible to extend.

I've also kept an eye on Blender since then, and no other piece of OSS causes me so much joy to see the improvements it makes version after version, specially because they are usually linked to small movies which demonstrate the capabilities.

But the few times I've taken a look at the Python SDK, I've felt a bit turned off. It somehow felt a bit like Cinema4D, where you had this huge API to code against, but never ended up with small modules (DAG nodes) which were pretty much stand-alone utilities which you could then connect to anything Maya had to offer.

I've seen that Blender lately has something which feels a bit similar, but it appears to be limited to shading pipelines (Shader Nodes).

There are no such transform, group, deformer nodes and stuff like that which allows you to manipulate geometry, correct?

I mean, in Maya I'd build a simple data node (in C++) which had an input, and I'd route the xyz of an object to the xzy-input of my data node, and then apply particle physics to that object and hit play, and the data node would then obtain a "data stream" in its xyz-input representing the object's position, as a very trivial example. Even vertices could be "streamed" into such data nodes. How would I do such a thing in Blender (with Python)?
GP is probably referring to Voat, which was a Reddit alternative with less censorship that went down the gutter within a year.

My perspective is that OpenCL is indeed in that bad shape, though it does have defenders. Both AMD (ROCm) and Intel (oneAPI) have ways to run workloads originally written to run on CUDA, but they're nowhere near the level of polish as CUDA.

I believe an open stack can and will emerge, but it will take time and effort on all levels of the stack. It's possible to do pretty amazing things with Vulkan compute shaders, but the programming model is different than CUDA (it's not single-source), and the tooling support is not quite there.

In time, I am hopeful that WebGPU will gather more momentum, and be officially supported even in places where Vulkan requires janky adapter layers. But in its current form, it's very immature and far from being usable for real workloads.
The Return of the Decentralized Web
Has anyone made a website that decodes the numbers like this?
A cheaper option may be to try print advertising through the USPS, although I'm not sure how much it costs. I know when you change a residential address, you get advertisements from various retailers targeting people who are moving. They may have something similar for businesses. This may be a cheaper way to accomplish what you want until you can afford the API access.
- Tough luck - this is actually a trap for beginning learners so although there is wisdom in learning enough to get the job done, if they rather quit than progress in their knowledge, and the knowledge is foundational for much of their work, they are setting themselves up for long-term failure.

- Fair point, English is still a lingua franca so over time this issue nils out.

>like it's some kind of mysterious inaccessible cult.

It's pretty interesting, because as long as I've been conscious on the Internet it's always been posed as an 'inaccessible cult.' Probably due to all the inside jokes, I guess?
Used cars went up in value last year. Rental car companies sold their fleet cars into a better market and did not acquire new cars. This left rental car companies short on supply and able to raise rental car prices to compensate as people travel again.

A couple of weeks ago, with seemingly no large events occurring, all rental cars in San Antonio were rented. This week, they are available, but at higher prices than I would normally expect.
Cycles works a bit differently but the same general idea is supposed to be implemented via "CPU viewport rendering with Open Image Denoiser" which live denoises the rendering in a more advanced way. Unfortunately the video for that section doesn't seem to be set up correctly so you can't actually see it in action.
You have two now. I don't get the underhanded call out.

From TSMC's Mark Lui:

- Supply chain disruptions from Covid

- US / China trade disputes

- Digital transformation from Covid (increasing demand for chips)

- "Double booking" feedback loop (companies preorder more than needed, fearing fab capacity limits --> makes it seem like there's less fab capacity --> companies book more capacity, fearing capacity limits)...this is not specific to Covid, but heats up in this kind of situation
Sides always feel like we take the other side [1]. That's the way this goes. For lots of examples see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26148870.

> It is unfortunate factual statements are not allowed on here

People use the words 'facts' and 'factual' a bit magically in internet arguments. There are infinitely many facts [2]. They don't select themselves; people do that. When they do it as part of curious conversation, great; when they do it as part of flamewar, well, the 'flamewar' part is the high-order bit. We're trying to avoid that here.

In the GP case, a barrage of links about everything from Vietnam to Ukraine to Robert Kagan is not curious conversation—it's boilerplate, as I said, meaning it reads like pre-existing material designed to be copy-pasted into ideological arguments. Even if all that is "facts" and all 100% correct on all the underlying issues, doing that is still boring and not what HN is for. How would you enjoy a conversation where someone insisted on reading all that stuff out to you?

That's already too low-level for most people. They care about the overall device model, not the components inside. This is why Apple has been so successful, everything has a simple model and version number or year attached, with generally more performance as numbers (storage, ram) get bigger.
In my country they sold about 400 of them in 2021 so far. Which is the best seller for Jaguar Land Rover by a huge margin.
In this trial, shots were given in May-August to children a minimum of 5 months old. Assuming children that have not reached 5 months by August (or say October) can't be vaccinated in time for the seasonal peak of Malaria, should we recommend the safest time to have a child is roughly Dec-May? Therefore, couples should be trying for a child Mar-Aug if they want to reduce mortality risk to malaria.
The International Dark Sky Association has some template laws that can be used as a starting point:

> The MLO offers several innovations to outdoor lighting regulation, including the use of lighting zones to classify land use with appropriate lighting levels for each. The MLO also makes use of the “BUG” (Backlight, Uplight and Glare) classification of outdoor lighting fixtures to ensure that only well-shielded fixtures are used.

I'm always perplexed that I get down-voted. Seems like a reasonable question. The reason I asked the question, well because I was curious to see if the commentator had more in depth insight into the google / Moot issue.

Google seems to make a ton of money in advertising, etc. But it can’t seem to create a social media network that anybody want to use.

I'm not exactly sure that a commenter has the ability to judge someone's experience and potential job performance. It also sound a little bitter and not support with any facts to support the claim.

I don't know Chris Moot and know a little bit about 4chan. I'm not a big fan of google either.

It seems like Google execs wanted to hire what they thought was the hot new star. You see this happen a lot in Hollywood. If you can't produce new ideas from within your organization, it smart to out source that talent.

Those execs that probably dropped a lot of money Moot are probably out of a job as well.
Piracy Conversion Opportunities
I get that, but it's just a thing I've noticed about tech puff pieces. If the transistor count is front and center it's probably not worth reading.
Raptor engines are, yes, cutting edge. Serious stuff.

Starship itself?.. Being built with such technologies, so cheap (Elon mentioned that Boca Chica works are quite small percents of what SpaceX is doing in terms of money), so fast - and yet we already have a successful-ish landing from ~10 km height.

Of course, we don't know for sure. But it surely doesn't seem too bad, especially now - and for some it was clear when SpaceX was just created.
I used to work for a company that picked up elixir at its peak and after struggling a lot with hiring a few years later they deprecated it and started to replace it where possible with other technologies.

So I totally understand and agree with what you said.
What I (foolishly) hadn't realized until I saw it in EE Times the other day: the shortage is in parts built on older tech (e.g. larger feature size). These factories don't produce the high margin parts so investment in them has lagged.

Allegedly you can bring up a fab large node (still sub micron) in just 4-5 months -- there's a lot of surplus / used gear out there, but will anyone bother (try might not earn back your cap ex).
The real difference is Perl has typed variables, such as hashes or arrays, which other languages typically do not. Which does make it convenient when you need to clone the object, such as "%b = %a" example. Perl borrows the sigil concept from Bash and other shells (which makes sense, given the historical context of Perl). The only other language I know of that uses sigils in such manner is BASIC. Other languages, such as Ruby or Common Lisp, use them as syntactic convention rather than as a feature that the compiler/interpreter understands.[1]

Most dynamic languages expose the data as references. In fact, the one thing that trips up JavaScript developers (especially in React) is that they do not understand how references work. I see senior and lead developers inadvertently doing mutation all the time. Or getting incredibly paranoid that two identical strings, for example, do not equal each other in the strictest sense in JS. They also throw in memoization everywhere due to their fundamental lack of understanding.

You can always tell the developers that do not have C/C++/Pascal experience.

Honestly that's a bit too abstract to make sense of.

As a programmer to another, I'd rather ask... what's one example of a problem we have today that needs faster linear performance than our best chips (not in a nice-to-have way but in a must-have way).

I'd rule out all casual computing like home PCs, smartphones, and so on, because honestly we've been there for years already.

Also due to decades of bias we have serialized code in our programs that doesn't have to be serial, just because that's "normal" and because it's deemed easier. Also we have a huge untapped potential of better performance by being more data-oriented. None of this requires faster hardware. It doesn't even require new hardware.

But anyway, I'm open to examples.
"Shipping a binary" is not the same as actually porting the game - porting requires a ton of expensive QA, and no port is better than a bad port because the latter 1) gets bad press for the main version of the game and 2) misleads customers who expect quality from your brand.
Try to use good information/facts. Then apply ideals/concepts to those and determine the best choice.
Speaking of performance Chrome’s WebGL performance is quite good. Some of the stress tests I ran it came up 40% faster than Firefox. It seems Chrome is faster at ferrying the WebGL calls and large amount of data to the GPU.
And here I am, thinking that heavy load is one node instance running webpack, a sql server, vscode, Figma and a few chrome tabs.
They didn't. There are no commercial electric aircraft yet. They banned current commercial airliners due to carbon emissions.

This has been a very useful website. I observed that the more "developed" a place is, more the population and inevitably a lot of light pollution. I wonder how to reduce light pollution while not bargaining with the safety at night.
Eastern bloc became extremely corrupted under the Soviet rule, so Western capital which arrived here was met with much eagerness the accept the bribes...
I'm really surprised how polluted some parts of the USA are, like North Dakota. I would have figured there'd not be much there.
