Maybe, but it would take a _lot_ of people moving small deployments (where by definition the savings would be small especially relative to the fixed costs of getting to work on Arm) in a relatively short space of time to have this impact - so I'm sceptical (and if it is then it must be very easy to move to Arm - which I'm also sceptical of).

More likely some very big customers (peer comment mentions Twitter) moving to Graviton2 for cost savings.
Discrimination does not need to be overt, mostly it's insidious, cloaked in vague statements such as "culture fit". And no, not everyone is considered equal. There are many (or at the very least non-zero) racists, sexists, homophobes, and bigots of many other forms in the world. Thinking that that does not affect how those in power go about their business is willful ignorance, capricious heartlessness, or gleeful complicity. Just because it is no longer possible to actively voice discriminatory opinions, or that laws exist to ostensibly stop discrimination does not stop its effects, and sticking our heads in the sand does not stop them.

Yes? That's precisely the argument the parent poster was making -- technology (both computing and cryptocurrency and everything else) comes with both upsides and downsides.

In the case of general purpose computing, the upsides are obvious and massive. Whereas it's much, much less clear that the upsides of cryptocurrencies outweigh their downsides.
Lying (false advertisement) is a crime.
The push is gone? IE, the three amigos retired.
There seems to be transparency value in having a different organization do the investigation than made the original judgment to approve the research.

Maybe there's an "internal affairs" equivalent that we'd trust, but this reads to me like "UMN made an error in approving this research but don't worry because UMN is now going to look into it."
Or, you know, just step through with a debugger once. Maybe twice

>How good are Pinephones[1]? Are there better alternatives?

I like mine, but the ancient CPU needs a serious upgrade. There's also the Librem 5, but it looks like they're heavily back ordered.
But they are horrible as production machines, at least until when our brain is no longer using our body as interfaces.

For pure pocket sized computing, why not use RPi? It's both much cheaper, more customizable, and it runs Linux. With enough tweaking you can make it run completely headless, plug-and-run mini computer that you can ssh over local network.

I think the biggest problem with the combining idea is that computing in general is about productivity, and phone is about phone stuff.

People, including me, are making the "tolerance is not approval" connection because we look at society and see a lot of tolerance and then we see lots of people who conflate tolerance with approval, sometimes explicitly, e.g. if someone says "I am very tolerant, I support gay marriage," they are using the word "tolerant" wrong.

Your argument is basically "my relationship is political because I am gay". I disagree. I think that reasonable people understand that your marriage is not political. Acquiring your right to marry was political, but exercising that right is not. If someone doesn't understand this and interprets you referencing your husband as some political statement, they are wrong, and I expect most HR departments would realize that if push came to shove.
Apple should pay for it! They allow this type of apps because they get their 30% cut. I would definitely hold them liable for this
This is correct. With interest rates so low (central bank policy), and payment revenue in Europe and the UK low (interchange fees are regulated, instant payments are ubiquitous and cheap), your only options to make ends meet are lending revenue or charging a nominal fee for banking services. This is also part of the argument for central banks directly offering deposit accounts to citizens, as it's a utility with little to no profit available to commercial banks (who could instead focus on lending).

A modern UX does not pay the bills, but it is nice to have.
If UML did any such thing, IBM would be a trillion dollar company by now.
It is a very ugly term; 'eat what you cook' is clearer. The point is that rather than theorising about 'what people want' you should build tools that solve your own problems, and practice with your own site first.
This was important early on in Indieweb as there are a lot of people proposing that online social networks should work in a specific way, and demanding others change; building something you use daily yourself is a better basis for discussion.
In my kid's high school (in Virginia, US), we have detailed contact tracing for all positive COVID tests.

Contact tracing is done, and it seems to be done fairly thoroughly here.
Out of curiosity, when did you last use a single monitor instead of your current dual monitor setup?

I’ve been using an ultrawide since 2015 but have almost always had a second side monitor with it. The period where I didn’t have a second monitor was short as having a separate monitor has always come in handy. All of the extra space on an ultrawide is great but when you’re doing something that takes the whole screen, it still leaves you in the same position you would be with a single 16:9 display.
“Hold my beer," - mobile Google Chrome.

Trying to see it from Googles point of view though. Perhaps there is a useful distinction to be made between end-user apps, and apps and functionality targeting developers. There is developer tooling to be found outside the Play store. Far away from the general audience and the risk of causing them security issues.

I can't say I agree with it, and Droidscript could well be a godsend to somebody making good use of it.

There should be an avalanche of truly malicious apps and related dev malpractice they could root out from their platform before this.
As much as I am a huge fan of tea, in this case I think the vasoconstrictive property of caffeine would have the opposite of a therepeutic effect.
When on a snorkel trip in the Florida Keys I was told not to point at the barracuda, because tourist often fed them hotdogs to get a close up look, and so they were trained to eat anything hotdog shaped... no idea if it was true.
> Not even macOS works flawlessly on the hardware, why should Windows and Linux do.

This is just pedantry and needless nitpicking. Replace "work flawlessly" with "work well" in my previous comment.
Conspiracy to X is a criminal charge, not the basis for a lawsuit. You can only sue someone over actual damages (or statutory damages), not hypothetical damages. If some DA wants to pursue criminal charges against UMN, that's separate from anyone asking to be made whole for the consequences of UMN's actions.

There's also no general "Conspiracy" modifier to crimes. Rather, "Conspiracy to X" is a separate law for only a handful of X.
One thing of note: The arguments to the method you are memoizing need to be hashable. For example, if you want to memoize a method call whose parameters include a list, you will get an error!
I rock a 38" dell ultrawide. It's not HiDPI but it works fantastic for me. It's just about big enough to make me not miss dual screens, and it's awesome for games.
Bah, the only time I was asked to do an UML diagram I was at the university.

I ended up doing the coding, and using a tool that generated the UML from it, so that I could make it nicer.

Ah, ops... :)
Then if you have an Android phone, you have no reason to believe your location data is private from Google, with or without the contact tracing app.

I'm not saying this isn't a problem, I'm in the same boat here, just that the contact tracing app doesn't really add to it.
We still need to be vigilant. Every few years some brain dead congressmen proposes allowing DDT again!
It could even be. Maybe Google found out they were hijacked in some way and the app contained malware. The main issue if that Google refuses to let publishers know the reason for bans and take-downs.
Harder to use. That’s another language which requires that special compiler from Intel. The intrinsics are already supported in all modern C and C++ compilers, with little to no project setup.

For many practical problems, the ISPC’s abstraction is not a good fit. It’s good for linear algebra with long vectors and large matrices, but SIMD is useful for many other things besides that. A toy problem: compute count of spaces in a 4 GB-long buffer in memory. I’m pretty sure manually written SSE2 or AVX2 code (inner loop doing _mm_cmpeq_epi8 and _mm_sub_epi8, outer one doing _mm_sad_epu8 and _mm_add_epi64) gonna be faster than ISPC-made version.

UML never died because it never lived. It was always a zombie kept alive by Rational Software doing a really good job of generating enough hype, and market share, to sell to IBM for $3.1 billion.

Since Rational was sold in 2003, UML has just been lurching from one generation of engineers to another shouting 'braaaiiins'.

Trying to discuss UML objectively without the context of who was selling what at the time is pointless. It was never a good enough method to live beyond being kept on life support by the marketers.
> These results suggest that alcohol control policies might need to be revised worldwide, refocusing on efforts to lower overall population-level consumption.

It ought to astonish me that people unironically think this way, but then I remember one of the most dangerous and life-shortening human tendencies of them all - the desire to control others.
This evangelism stuff has really got out of hand on HN - a whole new language is literally the opposite of what the parent asked for. To make matters worse, the languages you choose to evangelize are new/experimental, making your comment even less on point.

I'd imagine sensor fusion in this context isn't a singular problem right? It seems entirely plausible that for Tesla's system, it's straightforward to integrate cameras where the resolution is known and data is homogenous in a certain way, and that it's hard to integrate and use radar data into that system.
Check out their philosophy[0]. They aren't exactly a company targeting end user consumers. They want to put affordable hardware in the hands of a community of tinkerers.

it's not a hack though. i prefer 2x4k. i hate the curve (no straight lines) and UW is too wide to be comfortable (eye and neck angle). 2x4k, one straight on and one angled is ideal. i spent 2 weeks and spent $8000 on monitors to test this out. 34UW at normal desk distance is perfect, however 2x4k is better overall. I actually use 3, as I use the macbook screen as the 3rd.

that said, i have no issue with your choice. for some applications (eg video editing is the default choice for ads of UW monitors) it is really better.

i do have issue with you denigrating 2 monitors. it is not at all "an old hack".
Every B2C startup I have ever worked at has basically put a non-trivial component of their "product" efforts into finding some clever way to screw over customers and feel good about it at the same time. I've had YC startup teams describe fairly horrific ways of monetizing user data with a gleeful smile on their face ("It is really in the user's best interest!")

I've listened to interviews with phone scammers before and basically their worldview is that they're ripping off some first-world asshole who would be just as happy to destroy the scammers own country if it could make the cost of consumer goods slightly lower.

I suspect working for a ransomware company would at least mean you don't have to pretend the awful things you are doing are for the greater good, and I suspect also contains a bit of the phone scammer view that the people you are attacking are ultimately your enemy as well.

It's far more surreal when I've had to check into work, plan all day how to rip-off or exploit users without losing them, and then be cheerful about what a great customer focused team we are.
Sounds like effective lack of means of production available inside the platform is fundamental to sustainable platform...
The willingness to hire "unqualified" people directly depends on how expensive bad hires can be.

For example, if your product is a static website (no database), and you are using version control, the worst thing bad software engineer can do is to bring the website down for a few hours. So by all means do hire people without the right technical skills, and see how well they do.

On the other end of spectrum, there are industrial controllers which controls huge factories and where many mistakes can cause loss of productivity on the entire floor and/or multi-million-$ machine physically breaking. And those systems frequently have no version control nor any sort of tests. You really don't want anyone without relevant experience touching those.
Even today the M1 still feels slow occasionally -- hanging for a second or two, browser taking multiple seconds to launch, etc. Granted, that could be due to I/O or power management, but in any case it's clear that software is not making proper use of hardware.
As I understand it around 1 in 4 colds are caused by coronaviruses. The Diamond Princess cruise ship only ever had 20% of the passengers that tested positive, implying a fair bit of previous immunity.
I was on a road trip with 3 engineers this weekend and we were discussing this. I mentioned that I, along with nearly every grad student in life sciences is required to take a research ethics course because NIH training grants mandate that any student funded on the grant take an ethics course.

They all said that they wish that their graduate programs had required them to take an ethics course. One of them (from India) also noted that basic concepts such as plagiarism are assumed to be understood at the graduate level in the US, but that few students coming from Asia have received any orientation to ethical academic practice for students, much less researchers.

I don't know enough about how CS and engineering graduate programs are funded, but it seems that NSF is not funding very many programs, given that they do seem to require such training https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/rcr.jsp.
Booze is not good for you. If you think you are dependent on it or are concerned with the impact it has on your life try stopping. Stopping changed my life greatly.
> The real issue is not shipping the M1 with LPDDR5 support.

I brought this up before but it was pointed out to me that the only manufacturer of LPDDR5 last year was Samsung, which was producing not-completely-standardized LPDDR5 at the time and probably didn't have enough spare volume for Apple anyway. Having 12GB LPDDR4X modules from one vendor (24GB total) probably is not enough reason for Apple to switch up their supply chain either, not for the M1 at least.

And, to be fair, I think Apple did get away with shipping low memory computers by targeting only their cheapest computers.

It is extremely possible that from Google's point of view, an inability to give such an analysis is itself justification to remove the app from the Play Store.

If Droidscript is flexible enough to allow end-users to create an ad fraud engine, it's too flexible for the store. Play Store is relatively consistent in its position that a tool that bootstraps policy violations is itself a policy violation.

But it would be great if Google could offer a concrete reproduction case, and from a developer-service standpoint it completely sucks that they don't.
I’m reading somewhat incompatible reactions in the top level comments e.g. [1]
> Somewhere, the collective whos who of the silicon chip world is shitting their pants. Apple just showed to the world how powerful and efficient processors can be. All that with good design. Customers are going to demand more from Intel and the likes.

Another [2]:
> I really want the next MacBook Pro to support driving two 4K monitors over thunderbolt and have an option to buy 32 gigs of ram.

Meanwhile the last Intel MacBook Pro supports driving four (4!) 4K displays [4]. Apple silicon is far ahead in benchmarks but how does speeds and feeds translate into what customers actually want?

Battery life is impressive but unfortunately not the usual differentiator during a worldwide pandemic. The M1 Macs are quite quiet (the first MacBook Air without a fan—in 2020!) meanwhile the Intel Surface Book was fanless in 2017. We shot the messenger of the recent Intel attack Apple ads [5] but message is still worth reading. I bought an M1 MBA and realized the speed didn’t make a difference as my consumer computer. For the first time in decades I’m not sure if Apple provides the most pleasurable experience.

I'm not saying this is an exact analogy to facial recognition, but there are all kinds of long-term unwinnable quests we participate in, because the alternative of giving up is worse: vaccines, antibacterial measures, crime prevention, fighting poverty, and so on.

There's clearly value in all of those things, even though we have no clear path to (or even defensible expectation of) ever completely solving any of them. In these cases we define progress as mitigation or delay of the consequences rather than elimination of them.

Some people can imagine a technological solution to them, but that's currently science fiction — a counterfactual — and is it more counterfactual to imagine a perfect adversarial image generator than it is to imagine a perfect antibacterial agent, or a post-scarcity economy? I don't think so, personally.

Note that the restriction on external monitors can be worked around by using a DisplayLink compatible dongle/dock, since it uses a custom driver (I assume it does something in software that would otherwise be limited in hardware).

You could outlaw or regulate the mining and use of the coin in a country. It wouldn't be easy to enforce, but you could certainly but the law on the record.

You could increase taxes on cryptocurrency capital gains. Big exchanges would absolutely report those gains to the IRS and you could be on the hook for a bigger bill.

It's not impossible to regulate this stuff. Yes, some folks will figure out ways around the regulations, but you'd catch most tech-unsavvy people just fine.

Which is to say diving is a sport that can be safe, but only assuming you are actively and honestly engaged in making it safe.

I am not diving but I am sailing and for the most part sailing is a safe sport assuming you are prepped including mental preparation. If you are not, things can get downhill pretty fast.

I consider diving one of the sports where you place yourself in a situation where you are dead by default unless you have paved the way for you to escape. Same is flying, skydiving but so is going into a corner in a car or motorcycle at the max speed you can handle.

2 reasons UML died:

1. Developers don't pay the kind of money they once did for development tools. Many don't pay anything at all. Those that do pay money typically only pay for an IDE (JetBrains or something like that).

2. The lack of financial incentive from (1) makes it so we haven't seen and likely will never see a round-trip UML tool - which is what's badly-needed to make UML an actual productive tool. The article mentions this. That's really too bad because such a tool would be worth its weight in gold - but good luck getting anyone to pay for it.

That's just where we are at the moment as an industry. Worse is better. Especially if worse is free (as in beer).
I agree (somewhat) that print debugging shouldn't be praised over interactive debugging, but when you write a revolutionary new debugger like rr, please please build a good UI workflow first, and make it work at least on Windows and macOS too.

For instance, from a "time travelling debugger" I would expect some sort of graphical time line view, where I can immediately see where on the timeline I am currently, and jump back and forth while inspecting program state and memory in UI panels.

A good UI is the most important part of a debugger, and the area with the most potential for improvement (Visual Studio is generally praised as the best debugger around, but when you think about it, the UI is archaic, yet it's the best we have).

Without a good debugging UI and intuitive workflows, it's no wonder people are falling back to printf-debugging.
Done.

And it was way easier than i tought.
I agree it's an oversight, but I'm not sure it's unexpected. Some fields just don't typically do human subjects research so IRBs don't come up. I can't see why cryptographers would be wasting their time learning about how to prevent repeats of Tuskegee for example. So it probably depends on how these people got into the security research field.
The ransomware industry is actually in the midst of a big shift. As ransomware becomes more prevalent, ransomware insurance providers are charging more and paying out less.
