Aaronson's blog is one of the (increasingly rare) places on the Internet where I value the discussion on submissions almost on par with the post itself. This post is no exception: he posted an idea nugget that is critiqued and expanded by many people in the comments
Was this display developed by Google, or did they buy it from elsewhere? Is it still on the market?
I have a reasonably functional one built on top of GPT-3 - message me if you'd like to talk.
I no longer work where I did this (and it's been shut down, as it was a transitional proxy), so I can't be 100% sure what the kernel configuration was; I was able to release patches on the HAProxy mailing list, although they weren't incorporated, but at least I can reference them [1].

But yes, I think I ended up using both RSS and PCBGROUP. This was on a server running only one application (plus like sshd and crond and whatever), so it was dead simple to line up listen socket RSS and cpu affinity; I had a config generator script that would look at the number of configured queues and tell HAProxy process 0 to bind to cpu 0 and rss queue 0, up until I ran out of RSS queues; we needed a config generator script anyway, because the backend configuration was subject to frequent changes. If it was only listen sockets, RSS would have been sufficient without needing PCBGROUP, but locking around opening new outgoing sockets was a bottleneck and PCBGROUP helped considerably, but it was still a bottleneck. This was on FreeBSD 12.

Edit: I also found some patches[2] I sent to freebsd-transport that I don't know if anyone saw; I don't remember if I updated the patches after this... I know I tried some more stuff that I wasn't able to get working. Don't apply these patches blindly, but these were some of the things I had to fiddle with anyway. I think I saw there was some stuff in 13 that likely made outgoing connections better.

Gutting mathematics teaching in public schools can only bring out more inequality, not less. It will widen the gap between public and private schools.

>want publicly schooled kids (including browns and blacks to essentially not receive Math classes)

I don't know that I got that impression from the website I posted. It seems more like trying to get educators to better understand the circumstances of their students, but I could be wrong.
It wasn't handily descriptive. They reversed the positions.

People described by their opponents as SJWs don't describe themselves as SJWs except ironically occasionally. People who want a neutral or positive tone use other terms like social justice advocates.
But as soon as someone bought 51% of ETH and abused their influence, their investment would go to zero. I'm not sure I get the scenario where it's worthwhile for someone to invest the amount it would take to get that significant of an ownership percentage and then do something that would just cause everyone else to leave and it to be worthless. Maybe I'm missing something here.

Electricity is a commodity and a utility. Who are you or I to subjectively decide that a use is valuable or virtuous?

Is YouPorn worthy? Is MLB.tv valuable? What are the criteria that you use to determine worth?
> So for applications where you want to store a lot of energy and are weight but not volume limited, hydrogen might make enough sense to pay the efficiency penalty required to turn electricity into hydrogen and back again.

It's also not inconceivable that if we have more base load power generation (e.g. through more nuclear) then we could generate hydrogen at night with the excess.

>Not in principle, but I do believe this to be the case for Bitcoin specifically. Network majority is distinct from minor majority, but obviously miner (or stakeholder) majority is an extremely important part of it.

They are not really playing in the same ring, nor indeed championing compatible world-views.

Expect having to ship a WebGPU implementation with your application, similar to how you need to include ANGLE for WebGL support. A platform level API needs a lot of additional considerations about plumbing layers between applications and one or more separately installed drivers. I don't see this addressed for WebGPU.

Hi, Sam here (other co-founder) -- I think you're correct if you're talking about e-commerce on IG in general, but for the thrift/secondhand sellers that we serve, selling is a much more individualized/personalized process involving comment-bids, negotiations on DMs, live sales/story sales, etc.

So for the majority of these folks, Instagram Shopping is a nice-to-have but not a necessity because they're mostly dealing w/ one-offs and the convenience of a product tag is not that important when customers don't mind just going to their link in bio & browsing their 5-25 available products (they may even prefer this, because they may want to buy multiple items).

That's the main reason we made it a premium feature: the small minority of folks that really need this are willing to pay for it.

GP's question was about _how_ it detects it has been mining. Does it have a list of processes or executable names of popular mining software? Does it perform some kind of heuristic and detect if the code it is about to execute corresponds to a hashing algorithm? I don't know the answer, I hope someone can explain it to me and GP.
>Anything more than 16 GPU cores seems like it'd too big to fit on die

32 HP Core with 8 HE Core, 128 GPU Core give you ~650mm inclusive of L2 and SLC. Adding in I/O, NPU, ISP, VPU etc this chip should still be within the reticle limit of ~850mm2.
I only find that obnoxious when they come of as "one-upping" the other person.

Maybe I'm wrong and people secretly think I'm obnoxious, but I think it's a good thing to quickly mention something like "my mom Y" to show your familiarity with a topic, so the other person knows how much detail they need to give when talking about it. Like, if they're explaining what a certain company does in detail, and your mom works there, you should probably let them know before they explain a ton of stuff you already know.

I think the key is just to steer the conversation back quickly. If you derail it talking about yourself, steer it back with something like "So how did you like X?"

Correct! And if you're Simon Willison, this is a super easy thing to Just™ implement manually.

The point of Flat Data is to push the edges of that bubble outwards. Add tooling and examples. Add a viewer. Make the "happy path" situations where this is helpful really fast and easy.

We're pretty upfront about this not being a major technological advance. The difference between a difficult-to-use API and a good API is usually just about the mental model. We like this mental model, and the kinds of patterns it encourages!
IBM has shared very little about their Z16 lineup so far. I think we can expect the same new memory interconnects the bigger POWER9 uses (OMI, IIRC), allowing for separate processor and memory drawers and, along with that, some form of memory-attached persistent storage for higher performance IO.
I've asked myself the same question. While I don't go as far as "never", I do it much less than I used to.

Thinking this way can certainly lead to worthwhile and actionable insights. But I think any skilled amateur will overestimate their abilities. Therapists build their insights on top of huge amounts of biographical information that they gather in intense, concentrated sessions. Their observational skills are trained, and they use them to gather as much information from posture, tone, and expression as they do from narrative. Even if an amateur's observational skills are good, they won't have the right context (the session) to gather that kind of information. So the amateur will be lacking in both theory, and information - compared to the pros. And yet the amateur often has more confidence than the pro - leaping at the first theory that "clicks", not considering alternatives, and with an unwillingness to revise.

The next pitfall comes if/when you decide to act on your insights. And once you have those insights, it becomes tempting to act on them. Then, when you do act, you're almost by definition being manipulative. Your behavior towards the other person is no longer a straightforward reaction to what they're sending your way, but is instead following an agenda constructed to fit a diagnosis that is unknown to them. If they knew what you were up to, they would most likely object, even if your agenda was "for their own good." At best it's paternalistic. Therapists do act on their insights in opaque ways (and often screw up despite all their training) but the particulars of the patient-therapist relationship resolve the ethical violations that us civilians are likely to stumble into.

So, I would say that the tendency to psychoanalyze needs to come with heaps of humility, openness to revision, and a reluctance to act on the resulting insights in 9 out of 10 cases.
The whole section on how GCs work is far from accurate. It only describes how one GC, CMS, works or worked because it had been removed. The permanent generation does not exist anymore since Java 8, etc

And i'm far from being an expert in GCs, but the basics are just wrong.

This is the important detail. This is much faster than how you'd solve it pre-3.3.

I found myself wondering why this required a new class in the stdlib until that line.

The point is driving down the power consumption in datacenters. I doubt the Apple hardware at AWS is cause of high power consumption, and I also doubt Apple hardware will replace Linux and Windows machines that compose the vast majority of AWS computing power.

ARM might replace Intel, but it won't be branded Apple, that's for sure.

PoS does not put everyone on an equal footing. PoS privileges those who got in early and had the money or hardware to acquire a large chunk of the coin.

You sound super delusional. I can't believe it.
Seconded, I’ve really enjoyed all of Ted Chiang’s books and wish he was more prolific as I’ve read them all! An excellent writer and I think his style would appeal to the HN crowd as it’s kind of sci-fi, kind of based in science, and many of his stories are quite thought provoking and unique. Also they’re all short stories so great if you struggle finding time to take on a whole book or whatever!

I am free to say what I want about Elixir, I make it no secret. It got most of its (now faded) hype by trashing Ruby, which rubbed me the wrong way. I genuinely believe Elixir is an unsmart career choice , my feelings about Elixir aside. Without a big corporate backing it and never making it into the top 20 languages during it's peak (which is now passed) there is only one way - down. It has nothing to do with Elixir as a language and everything to do with how saturated the market is. As a career it's not a great main language in most areas of the world; sure the superstars will get by nicely. But if you're average you're better off with one of the popular stacks. OP is free to choose what he wants but I don't see how any of what I say isn't true, maybe you'll enlighten me.
yeah the first season was too slow - it picks up about eps 8 - I tried to watch it 3 times, and quit, but finally, after so many people saying it was worth a watch, got through those first episodes, and enjoyed it. It's worth watching, but in season 3 gets a little laggy for a bit, but finishes very strong.
If nothing else this is a challenge to be charitable. The reaction question would be, is there a plausible version of this that is more than a vessel for an underlying Marxist dialectic on power with class just swapped for race? That's a conversation I sincerely think most people would engage in, and the reaction against it isn't racist, it's engaging on a level greater than dialectical materialism, and facilitating the discovery of truth instead of just struggle. Pretty much all the stuff that math is good for.

The excess of a program like this could resemble similar limitations in the former USSR with examples at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppressed_research_in_the_Sov...

Math is ancient, and I don't dispute the value of presenting its ancient aspects. There are also traditions in it that probably limit its progress that would benefit from radically new teaching approaches. With generations of kids writing code, we could really be entering a golden age of math where the interest of young people is sparked by their access to tools that benefit from advanced math. There is a very positive way to approach it. One only hopes they can moderate the excesses of previous attempts.
Well, I’m not naive enough to expect something else. People are making money and protect their businesses. It is ok for me.

For some people (not for me) living in poor countries, mining was a chance to improve their lives. Now it's sold for the opportunity to give more money to those who have large amounts of money.

All these talks about the climate are so ridiculous in this context - nobody even tried to calculate how much of that energy was produced by the wind or sun.
Am I missing something?

What is the impact of a miner on the security of the network, conditioned on the event that it never successfully mines a block? I would think it would be 0.

The probability that a raspi ever mines a block (like, if it were to start now, not if it was going since the network first started) is negligible.

Therefore, I consider the probability that a given raspi would contribute to the security of the network, or, I suppose equivalently, the degree to which it contributes, to be negligible.
Panos Panay is the best at this. I think he even beats Apple execs at exuding earnest excitement for the products he's demoing.

Bnei Brak is part of the "Tel Aviv metropolitan area" but it's not part of the city of Tel Aviv, in the classic meaning: it has its own municipality, budgets, taxing system, etc. Counting it as the same city in any meaning would be wrong as the two have very different goals re: neighborhood design, density, commercial business focus, events, city services, etc.
Apple has a one-off modular product in the Mac Pro called Afterburner that offers 6 streams of 8k play back.

My theory is Apple will release the new Mac Pro with an updated Apple Silicon Afterburner card focused on pro video.

They will debut a new AI / ML compute "accelerator" focused on the data science space also under the Afterburner moniker.

he, this reminds me of a recent interview with Daniel Kahneman (of behavioral science nobel fame) where he closes with saying he works on the "how the inability to solve the famous “bat and ball problem” [bat and ball cost 1,10 together, the bat costs 1 dollar more than the ball, how much do they cost each?] correlates with belief in God and that 9/11 was a conspiracy." https://www.theguardian.com/books/2021/may/16/daniel-kahnema...
Could you please add a digital zoom option in Halide? I bought the app to have full manual control over the camera and I don’t understand why it cuts out this standard feature. One of my use cases is that I often use my phone with one of those macro lens clip-ons and on pocket microscopes and there you just have to zoom in digitally. And even for everyday shooting I sometimes just want to zoom in slightly. Of course everything is possible in post, but since you are boasting full manual control, I also expect the app to have all features of the default iPhone camera.
A few years ago I also worked on a few passive bots that'd try to find at-risk or self-harming people on reddit/twitter that might be in need of therapy or someone/something to talk to.

Or, if there's some community somewhere where people trying to solve this common problem gather, I'd love to hear about it / join!
Sure. While there is a higher concentration of those type of people in DC than elsewhere, that is not the same thing as the DC population.
No I don't however I was much more skeptical of them in the past and also the math still lets me know Elon's timelines are lets say "optimistic", however the math also told me they where not completely full of it vs Nikola which is a complete sham.

For instance the Semi being announced in 2017 I said no way, but their range numbers where not outlandish, they just conveniently left off weight numbers for the tractor and cost of the battery seemed to high at the time. What I missed was how quickly battery cost are coming down and energy density going up, however they still haven't delivered a tractor yet so...

Tesla has a real tech lead, not sure if they can keep it and they are way over valued stock wise.

Nikola complete BS.
How to Secure Streams with JWT Stream Security Filter?
The "ease" we used to refer to in Vitess primarily relates to its interaction with the application side, where it basically presents itself as "one big MySQL datastore". It uses a standard MySQL connector, and in general, once you have the infrastructure up and running with a compatible schema design, there's not too much to worry about from a coding standpoint. Sharding happens transparently to the application code, which generally translates to fewer code changes required.

Admittedly, that view left out the considerable challenge of actually deploying and running the infrastructure, designing and optimizing that schema, along with all the joys of managing large cluster environments.

That's what PlanetScale, the product, aims to solve. Dealing with clustering infrastructure IS a hurdle for most teams to overcome, and though Vitess' feature set and compatibility has expanded greatly to accommodate some of the most demanding use cases on the web today, a lot of its functionality can still be out of reach for a developer just trying to merge some code and a schema change.

Abstracting as much of that complexity away from the end user is the goal, as well as making their lives easier with a ton of the functionality we've always wanted to see built with Vitess. I can confirm that that is not an "easy" job on our end. :)
As discussed in the link, these algorithms reduce but do not entirely eliminate STW.
Gopher is the opposite of new. Gemini is interesting for sure, but it's not an alternative to the web as they fully admit. It's an alternative to a subset of the web. Let's call it the document web. Blogs and articles and so on. But as entertaining as it is, it is a very very small subset.
I've actually had some good experience with a salesman where he told me there was a limited offer, but if I could wait they would have a different offer next month, just on a different brand of equipment. Still not fully transparent but at least a little more honest.

We eventually settled on a IKEA kitchen, just because they are fully transparent and offered what we needed, with no pressure or tricks. And I got the chance to build my own kitchen, which was a nice experience. If it was not for their limited choice of options they would be the only contender for our next kitchen.
