Here's another perspective. Am not American, not Asian. But I like YG's music.

"time is relative" has a very particular meaning, it's not just a "proverb". It means (in the simpler special relativity) that how fast time seemingly progresses is relative to the difference in velocities of two different inertial frames ("things that move at the same velocity and without external forces").

The only thing that special relativity assumes about flow of time in general is that within each of these frames, the speed of light is the same. This also means that you will always observe time progressing in any inertial frame, unless your relative velocity to it is the speed of light.

Well, exceptionalism is a cult that is part of American education and media since early childhood. It is not just nationalism (loving your country), it is ultra-nationalism that preaches the idea that they're superior to other countries.
Sounds plausible I guess.
It is no-brainer for government to maintain a competitive landscape that is not a monopoly.
And the government is the main customer here.

When AWS vs Azure vs Google Cloud were weighted, there were arguments that the government should buy from at least two different companies to preserve competition.

The biggest buyer in this market invests in maintaining the competition. Otherwise another market would be dominated by a monopoly to detriment of the biggest customer.

Yes you can see it explicitly from how he describes the two sentences above, one as an "intervention" and the other as an "occupation". I don't think most Cambodians considered the Vietnamese invasion in late '70's as an intervention, nor did the majority of the rest of the non-Soviet aligned world.

At the time, Apple owned 50% of ARM.

ARM, the company only existed because Apple wanted them to manufacture a CPU for it's Newton project.

While Apple might not have designed the ARM610, but they technically owned it.
I believe that Rice's theorem is about computability, not about whether or not it is possible to validate which CPU instructions a program can contain.

With certain restrictions, it is possible to do this: Google Native Client [1] has a verifier which checks that programs it executed did not jump into the middle of other instructions, forbade run-time code generation inside of such programs, etc.

I appreciate your support. I've noticed my favorite science-related publications (ArsTechnica was especially surprising) completely suppressing and deleting these kinds of discussions in the comment sections.

Unfortunately this topic has been heavily politicized and dissenting opinions are no longer seen through a science-based lens.

As a person that generally dislikes both political parties, I get hit from both sides.... for being pro-mask/pro-temporary-lockdown (attacked from the right) and for being vaccine-cautious/anti-vaccine-passports (attacked from the left).

This is fascinating, thank you. It’s hard to explain my color blindness to people and I’m inclined to begin with this HN thread in future.

I can differentiate color mostly fine and have never mis interpreted grass as green, but clothing and fabric always pose problems, just as with your AI.

I’ve learned to be ok with things not looking real. Black and white is just as unreal to me as false color toning, but feels more honest and deliberate. The luma of the Armalite wielding guerrilla is amazing — it’s hard to beat black and white as a descriptor format.
I'm one of the founders of Origin, the project that hosted this auction. Here's my take on it: It's a social contract between the creator and the collector.

Today when you buy a home you have someone go down to the local courthouse and check that there are no leans against the property and no one else is claiming ownership. In the future, you can imagine a world where that title would live on the blockchain and everyone could see the true owner based on their ability to sign a message with their wallet. You could transfer your title just as easily as any other blockchain transaction. While blockchain titles have obvious advantages, they are hard to pull off because you need 100% participation of everyone in the community for it to work.

The reason we're seeing art NFTs take off first, is that you only need the participation of the creator and a small group of collectors. The creator promises to sign all of their work with their digital wallet and as long as the buyer of the NFT trusts the creator, it works.

Only on iOS. On macOS, JITs are allowed (as is ad-hoc signed code if you click through the warnings).

However, this would be prone to false positives, as constant pools are in the executable section on ARM.

I would say that positional notation, Zermelo ordinals and Church numerals are just ways to encode numbers. I would never call them numbers in the strictest sense of this word. Just how your C code is not an algorithm.

I would say I knew what 5 was even before I learned any notation or written language whatsoever.
I understand Apple is proud that 2 years old children can use a tablet but this is not a valid reason to for example remove all text from the OS because 2 years old can't read.

Apple needs to do that work to create UI/UX that can server all the users, maybe even offer customization and options for competent adults.

Using this kind of "think of grandma" reasoning will just lead you in removing every feature, like remove the "delete file" option from the Macs because grandma deleted something( the correct solution is to maybe pout a good confirmation box or some undo deletion/backups not screwing 99% for the 1% though let's be honest this is all about money)

What would be illuminating here is a graph of the age distribution of eng managers, because that's most of the answer, right? All bar one of the managers I've had has been older than me; and now that I'm in my 40s, it feels pretty natural to start taking on reports too. The article wants to suggest that either programmers need to keep to the endless treadmill of new tech and compete with wave after wave of youngsters, or be thrown on the trash heap. I suspect a more accurate picture is: older programmers become those younger programmers' boss.
A declaration of war means that the government has to answer to the people for its war crimes, per international legal standards.

An authorization for war means that war crimes can be committed and war criminals can get away with it, because there is no legal basis for defining that war, except for what Politician-de-jour says it is.
Are you suggesting we could all try doing this too?
You gotta access those bits though some instructions though. What if the command pipeline filters those instructions.
Flags are the most easily-understood way to communicate languages to users, and I say this as someone who is often obliged to pick the flag of a foreign country (often an empire that wilfully starved millions of my countrymen) to get websites in my native language.

Right. Then you boot it up and have to agree to a bunch of stuff to use iOS. You can bail at that point and not use the device. Or you can know that you’ll have to agree to it later, and that the device is quite difficult to put another OS on, and just not purchase it. Get a librephone or Android or …

You may say that you bought the phone and so you can do with it what you want —- ok. Hack/root it to run another OS. It’s your device in that sense. But they are under no obligation (nor should be forced to be) to make it easy.

I agree with you that I wish they would make it easy, but alas. Buy a librephone.
Humans have always enjoyed collecting things, whether it's homes, or cars, or luxury handbags. We like to share the things we own with our friends. We often like to show off and flex and share the things we're proud to own. But what happens when you're better friends with someone on the other side of the world that you've never met than you own neighbor next door? That desire to own and collect things is still there, but now it just happens in a digital world. As our lives increasingly move online, it makes sense that the things we own and collect should be digital as well. The desire to be the single owner of the Charlie Bit Me video that has been enjoyed by hundreds of millions of people around the world, is the same desire that causes people to collect fine art or invest in digital cryptocurrencies.
As an individual contributor over 35, I land on Slack Overflow about once a month I’d guess (it feels like even less, though it may well be more, if I do without consciously remembering). The problems I need to solve have become so specialized and niche that it’s often not worth googling. They mostly rather need reading existing code or talking to people.

That’s not to say that I know everything after those decades. But for the things that are more “I forgot the details, yet again” (or “I didn’t really know that detail but now it has become important”), such as for example “what are the exact semantics of that uncommon assembly instruction” or “what does the C standard define here”, it’s well advised to just look into an official source instead.
> The Chinese succeeded in industrialization, but only after transitioning away from maoist communism and more towards state capitalism.

Leninism and all its descendants, including Maoism, are, ab initio, state capitalism. What the CCP moved toward is more of xenophobic totalitarian corporatism than state capitalism; essentially fascism without, or at least with less, overt expansionism.

Should you be worried? Probably not.”
black-on-asian violence has exploded in 2020-21 and the US liberals are trying to hide it as it doesn't fit the "black victim" narrative, aka BLM and all that.

That narrative has been applied successfully for political gain , i.e. it's easier to get public support for fake "social justice" causes vs. actually fixing the underlying (predominantly economic) problems which originate in bad policy and bloated government.
TFA wasn't really trying to address those issues.

> - we can’t rely on intermittent power source without grid scale batteries (which we don’t cheaply have)

.. for domestic users, behind the meter storage is fast becoming compelling.

I had (with local subsidies) AUD $7,000 worth of panels installed earlier this year, and generate an average of 2.5 more power than I consume. A $10,000 battery system probably cover my domestic usage for all but the most rare run of cloudy days. That second figure's on a downward trend, too, especially as flow storage and other battery technologies start to benefit from the scale-up.
Must be nice to smoke what you are smoking. The "west" lost entirely in Vietnam. Just look at Afghanistan today... 20 years of war and they have been beaten again.
It does require that, but it allows flipping between RX and RW at will (for JITs), and the M1 actually has proprietary features to allow userspace to do this without involving the kernel, so the kernel couldn't re-scan when those flips happen (plus it would kill performance anyway).

Plus, as I said above, this is prone to false positives anyway because the executable section on ARM also includes constant pools.

I didn't notice any difference between the three files in any of the cases...and that leads me to question:

Can we verify that the website choices are in fact legit? i.e. the 320k mp3 is in fact 320k and the uncompressed wav is in fact that. And also, that the browser isn't messing with the choices either (by e.g. caching the first file you play and reusing it for the other choices).

Also, I ordered an optical cable so I can use my amplifier's DAC rather than the onboard soundcard DAC.

I'm doubtful of your assertion that 'top leadership didn't think they could win' and especially in the context of 'put on a show'.

Which elements of 'top leadership' believed this?

For whom would that 'show' be for?

You'll have to state which individuals took that position.

"never even "winning" in the sense that the US leadership thought they were winning. "

This directly contradicts your first statement. Did US leadership think they were winning or not?

The data (i.e. 'body count') was initially misleading, but that lesson was learned quickly enough.

By 1965 , at the start major escalation, The Pentagon wanted to do strategic bombing of the entirety of North Vietnam. US political leadership wanted to avoid Hanoi and other targets for political reasons i.e. 'Rolling Thunder'.

Rolling Thunder failed.

Later, with political limitations removed, Op. Linebacker I and II (in 1970's) successfully dismantled N. Vietnam's ability to fight.

Imagine how history would have changed were, in 1965, the Pentagon were able to fight on it's own terms? The big rise in casualties to 1969 probably never would have happened, and the political repercussions would have been at least somewhat less.

Even the populist miasma is affected: when people are dying, it's one thing if 'major progress' is being made (think sicily and european campaigns against Hitler, once they started and were winning, it'd be impossible to bring them back until it was over), but altogether another if there's a stalemate or there isn't evidence of material progress.

But history is 20/20 and that's the whole point.

In 2021 we're still not done politicizing this war, the PBS documentary had some very good elements, but was still only one lens and entirely ignored the geopolitical aspects.

Macnamara v. Pentagon was realized 'All Over Again' with Maj. General Tommy Franks vs. Donald Rumsfeld. This time, the Army mostly go their 'Boots on the Ground and Overwhelming Power' to guarantee a fairly immediate collapse of the enemy. Too bad there was no plan for the occupation.

Market forces.

This is just the 'lump of labor' fallacy applied to energy. Any demand induces more supply, and since Renewable Energy Is Suddenly Startlingly Cheap this new supply will mostly be renewable energy.

Again, this isn't about Bitcoin, it applies to any economic growth which consumes energy. Right now it's good, because, quite aside from the fact that useful and valuable things are done with that energy, it induces the market to supply more renewable energy, which further drives down the price of solar panels and windmills, in a virtuous cycle.

We're in no danger of running out of economically valuable wind and solar sites, any time soon. The only limiting factor is customers with money in their pocket and the desire to buy electricity with it.

There are only two things we can do to make this process faster: buy more electricity, and tax polluting power plants. Bitcoin can only do one of these things.

As an aside: if Bitcoin was 60 times as valuable (the implication of your jump from 0.5% to 30%), it would have a market cap of 44 trillion dollars. That's simply not possible as an act of religious faith; that would conclusively prove Bitcoin's value as sound money.
That’s a bit different than when the leader wants to celebrate your long hours by making you work more hours in a social capacity.

It’s very much different strokes for different folks. Just like everyone’s personal lives differ so does their appetite for coworker extracurricular activities. But I agree that the every 3 months or so is a fine cadence. But, 1) schedule it at the beginning of the quarter 2) be ready to reschedule it if it coincides with a sprint of long hours.

In a perfect world, your team would tell you if they were too burned out for it or not, in a judgement free way. But that doesn’t happen due to fear of judgment or not wanting to rock the boat (say nay when others want yay) or multitude of other reasons. Point is, if you know anyone on the team has significant others, kids, pets, or any life outside work you as a leader shouldn’t ask them to work more in the name of celebration.
This was a very good analysis. A fourth point is that drug users rarely give away their hard earned drugs to strangers.

That would be like saying "I can h4x0r all the hotmails and rewrite every PGP armored message to say whatever I want!"
