Yeah, that's exactly what the GCP engineer recommends, and likely why the final benchmark in the article was done using a c5n.9xlarge.

Still, there is no guarantee that after stopping the instance on Friday evening, you would get back the same physical host on Monday morning. So, while using dedicated hardware does avoid the noisy neighbor problem, the "silicon lottery" problem remains. And so far, the data that I gathered indicates that the latter is the more likely cause, i.e. a "fast" virtual machine would remain fast indefinitely, while a "slow" virtual machine would remain slow indefinitely, despite both relying on a bunch of shared resources.
The game was initially developed as a single-player game (kind of like Tetris). Then to make it multiplayer the entire session management and messaging was moved to a third-party service (it was called electroserver, IIRC). Don't really remember the details now unfortunately!

I'd say it's more cultural than linguistic.

Pure politeness is as well present in French, but in Japan it's an aversion to openly and directly confront others.

You don't have it in Osaka as much as in Tokyo or Kyoto (that's why I'd think it's not the language), and in Tokyo people are overly stressed by their work, commuting, and overpopulation in general, so they need to compensate it by an impressive spectrum of skills for passive agessivity (which is not really better).

Disclaimer of competing interests: I'm a French guy in Japan.
This is such a beautiful work, and not without practical implications.

The typesetting is also especially lovely – this is what, a Garamond font?, weathered by the print / scan / compression loop. Lots of charm!
Hmmm... the chances for that are pretty slim I'm afraid. "Apple Silicon" is not a new system, it's just one of the large incumbents switching to another architecture (which is also not a first, this now being their fourth architecture, after 680x0, PowerPC and x86). In the desktop/notebook market, Wintel and Apple are firmly entrenched, with only ChromeOS and Linux challenging them - plus a few less significant OSes (FreeBSD, ReactOS anyone?). For mobile devices, we had a bit of a "Cambrian explosion", unfortunately followed by a very quick extinction, which left us with another duopoly. Here also there are free alternatives which however have very marginal market share.

As for actual CPU architectures, there are only two that really matter at the moment: x86/AMD64 and ARM. It's of course very cool that ARM has proved itself flexible enough to be used from (almost) the smallest embedded devices to supercomputers (not to mention Apple M1), but there's not that much diversity as there was in the 80s either...

Does anyone here have any thoughts on how Sublime Text 4 compare's to Panic's Nova?

I used to be fully on the native editor train, but I love VSCode so much, it's difficult to justify switching back.

Are you confusing IBM and IRS here? PL/X is an internal language used by IBM. To the best of my knowledge, the IRS don't directly use it.

(There was a brief period, I think early 2000s, IBM let members of its partner program order IBM's PL/X compiler for a small fee. They withdrew that later but some ISVs did get their hands on it while that policy was in place. I think it is actually still sometimes available to ISVs if they pay $$$ and sign an NDA.)

That is what I wonder, UltraEdit is really nice.

I have no relation to them by the way, latest version that I own is 26 something. While the latest release is 28 something.

Maybe it is because 28 years ago, when it first released, internet was just starting.

Sublime is "only" 13 years old, so internet was already very much mainstream.

But it is really good. Very fast. I love the column mode.

If I search for UltraEdit in HN, the latest post if from 10 years ago, when they announced the Mac version:

I love Sublime, I've paid for every version and I did the same for my devs for many years (when I had a company cc!). I would just like to say remote editing is the only thing I use vscode for. If ST had remote editing I and probably a lot of other people would use it more.

Once again, love sublime, just a suggestion :)
I think that cross-linguistically, these might be a bit extreme? Also, the languages are head-marking (meaning that grammatical relations are encoded on the verb) which is just one of multiple possible ways if encoding grammatical relations.

That said, you're absolutely right that it is English that is the outlier here. I guess that many English speakers don't realize how much of an oddball English is as a language (even within European languages, which by themselves have a number of fairly oddball features).

(I wish there was a "follow" feature here on HN, I really like reading your comments.)

I hope so! My MacBook Air has been running over 10 TB of writes per month. Considerably more than my old Intel MacBook Pro, which averaged 2.8 TB per month. Both 8GB machines.

It's enough that I'm worried it could start to see degraded performance after a couple of years or so. That already seemed to be happening on my Intel MacBook after only ~120 TB writes (256GB SSD).

I think these statistical methods would find bias on any topic.
This sounds pretty biased itself, first of all: we would need to compare the reported news to "neutral" facts, if the Hamas actually did initiated let's say 20% more violence (illustrative figure) than Israel then it would make sense that roughly 20% reports were made to report such events. ML in this case is just automated bias, you can't look at real world in absolute, a better thing (maybe) would be to compare the NYT's reports to other new outlets.
"disproportionate use of passive voice..." seems to be a healthy definition of bias to me. I did not have the time to properly analyse all 33000 articles myself, so I'm not in a position to validate the data.

The worst part about the UK (specifically London, not 100% sure about the rest), is that even when you buy a property (assuming it's a leasehold), then you're again at the mercy of the freeholder. Depending on your lease - you'll still be paying rent (ground rent) in addition to service charge and building insurance. Technically, you're only 'renting' the property for the lifetime of the lease. All from probably someone who was merely lucky enough to have been born into an aristocratic family, or a money-hungry company.

It's an embarrassingly archaic and unfair system. God forbid working families want to own their own home/land in this country (city).

>Otherwise every single pharmaceutical trial would be impossible since "we can't knowingly give humans a placebo"

Lots pharma trials are against current best standard of care and not placebo. Placebo trials are never done in cases where effective therapy is available.

https://www.cancer.net/research-and-advocacy/clinical-trials...

>A: Placebo-controlled trials are never appropriate when a highly effective or potentially curative therapy is available for a patient. An exception is unless the trial allows the patient to receive the new treatment/placebo in addition to the potentially curative therapy. For example, let’s say that a promising new treatment is in development for advanced testicular cancer, a disease that is curable in many cases with the use of chemotherapy. It would not be appropriate for a clinical trial to randomize patients between the new treatment and placebo because potentially curative chemotherapy already exists. However, it might be appropriate to randomize between standard chemotherapy plus the new drug or standard chemotherapy plus placebo because in both cases, patients will receive the standard, potentially curative treatment.

I believe it's implementation-specific, precisely so that malloc/free can be implemented in conformant C.

Interesting, I have an OP-1 and an OP-Z and the OP-Z is for sure less limiting than the OP-1. That said they're not really the same device for the same thing, so I'd say it might not be that it's too limiting and more you bought the wrong thing for what you wanted to do?

I guess the differences I see are between "with exceptions, you can accidentally forget to handle the errors in the right place, and you end up handling them elsewhere" vs "with error values, if you forget to handle the errors, you don't handle them at all" on one side. And "with exceptions, you do't necessarily have the immediate feedback that one may come" vs "with error values, you need to choose between sticking them in an error value variable, or explicitly ignoring it" (and with Go's fondness for "you assign to a variable that is then never used? That's a compile error!" it essentially means "you either handle the error or you intentionally disregard it".

Either is fine, I think. But, don't mix both in the same codebase. And with exceptions, I would really like Common Lisp-style restartable errors, to get the flexibility I feel I have with error values.

Haeckel is "development of advanced species passes through stages represented by adult organisms of more primitive species" which obviously isn't true in general.

Obviously this depends a lot on how you define the metric.

It seems to me (superficially) that "like-for-like" metrics such as "use of passive voice" should be fairly independent of reality; for a similar example, see the American tendency to refer to "officer-involved shootings" (but, in a clear case of bias, to never say "dog-involved bitings").

On the other hand, as you note, "use of violent terms" could be a reflection of real-world differences in violent actions, so it might be a more fraught metric.

I'm really intrigued by the idea that we can bring this kind of quantitative analysis to bear to reveal hidden bias, though; it sounds like it can be a powerful approach. But you're certainly right about potential pitfalls.
A lower initial load doesn't guarantee a low severity because the timing of the immune response is such a big factor (due to the large reproduction exponent).

As such, it’s likely even a 30% reduction (which is on the lower end of the range) in the viral load inhaled by someone could drastically reduce the chance of symptomatic COVID. is vague enough to not be an over statement, but it probably isn't easy to find much in the way of actual support for it either.
The trouble is that this doesn't actually work. By using R this way you're assuming a model where every person is equally likely to spread the infection to every other person in the population, which is easy to calculate but what actually happens. In reality people can only spread the virus to those they're in contact with, and (say) a supermarket employee can spread the virus to more people than someone working from home and not socializing due to social distancing rules. Not only that, there are clusters of people who are all likely to spread the virus to more people or to less people when infected, such as workers in food manufacturing, people in dense urban areas vs less dense areas, etc...

So what actually happens in reality is that if R is hovering around 1, there are going to be some places where it's actually above 1 and cases are growing exponentially, and some where it's below 1 and they're shrinking exponentially. The end result of this is that places where R is actually below 1 make up an exponentially shrinking proportion of all cases, and as this happens it causes the overall measurement of R to go back above 1.

FYI, I also rebuild TensorFlow in-house, hate it, and hate it a bit less now that I've realized that you can get 200+ vCPU machines in the cloud without difficulty these days. It takes about 12 hours on my workstation too, but it takes just under half an hour on an n2d-highcpu-224, for an effective cost of under $4 per build. I have a VM I power on whenever I need to rebuild TensorFlow and power off once I upload the resulting wheels. Getting my edit-compile-test-scream cycle down to under a day is definitely worth a couple of dollars to the business.

(The irony of paying Google to compile their software is not lost on me.)
