Having substantially more L1 and L2 cache per core but no L3 has to be a massive part of why the M1 performance is so good. I wonder if Intel/AMD have plans to increase the L1/L2 size on their next generations.
I ran into this earlier this week when I went to watch Kung Fury, a free movie hosted on YouTube which is now age restricted. I pretty much just couldn't. Luckily the Pirate Bay exists, and now I have a permanent copy which is what I probably should've done anyway.

I guess this means I watch less YouTube, which is probably better for me in the long run. But like hell I'm signing in.
Yeah, we should also take a stand against all the plants and fruits we are farming. It is incredibly bad for the environment (ex: pesticides, water usage,slave labor practices, etc). The whole food sector is a major producer of Green house gasses and farming whether livestock or grains, etc is extremely bad for the environment. Lets save the planet and stop eatin.
"roads and bridges", schools and teacher pay, health care, public arts, etc etc.

I'd be way more interested in a solution that cuts $24B from the military budget. Hopefully more.
While an organization full of "the guys that won the last war" may not be optimal for the next conflict, having a few old salts to mentor the new "college grad" engineers makes a much more effective team overall. The kind of clean sweep that you advocate leaves green engineers to reinvent the wheel; they don't know how to google for what they don't know, and most colleges will not supply the industry-specific and even proprietary knowledge that a young engineer or engineering manager may need to avoid wasting many months of efforts.

You may wish to eliminate the "last war" echo chamber but you'll pay for it if you lose their expertise entirely.
how do you handle no downtime deployments?
how do you backup data?

I rather would use kompose+kustomize to convert it to k8s and than use k3s with ingress-nginx with hostPath and backup local volumes with velero.
The posters I referenced were from 2002 [0]... I can only imagine how much worse it's gotten since then.

> Attention Londoners: Big Bobby is watching. That's the message of posters plastered along London's bus routes earlier this week to assuage riders' crime fears.

> But the posters are having the opposite effect on privacy advocates, who say the artwork is creepily reminiscent of the all-seeing authority described in George Orwell's 1984.

> The posters show a red double-decker bus crossing a bridge as four floating eyes stare down from the sky. The eyes' pupils are the symbol of Transport For London, the city's mass-transit provider.

> "Secure beneath the watchful eyes," the poster says. "CCTV and Metropolitan Police on buses are just two ways we're making your journey more secure."

The HOA's had rules that black and other undesirables weren't allowed. Enforceable since HOA's were a private associations.

However the supreme court also ruled that was unenforceable too.

But that didn't happen before developers realized that they could use HOA's as a cash cow. You sell a house once. But you can collect HOA dues for a couple of decades after. There is a case in Daily City where it took decades for home owners to get rid of the HOA. That collected dues and provided absolutely nothing in return.
Doesn't society already tell everyone that alcohol abuse is bad?
The USA will achieve less unrest if the 24B goes right into the law enforcement budget. Domestic incidents have been, from my point of view, more damaging than any alleged ISIS attack.
Get gamers in to define the strategy and use graduate engineers to build new radars?

I can’t tell if this is satire or not.

10 years of experience as a software engineer in R&D. Recent work includes software for automation, a CubeSat mission, and maritime domain awareness. Looking for opportunities to learn and build, whether it be something related to my past experience or something completely different. BS in Computer Science and working on an MS with a focus on AI.
The US needs to learn about missile defense from Israel (after all, that type of sharing is why the US spends so much on aid). Israel's low tech neighbors spend most of their military power on rockets. Other countries will do exactly the same to the US.

Israel responded with high tech missile defense, the technology exists, the US just needs to start implementing it in huge numbers.

Instead US strategy is to promise to obliterate any country that messes with it. The trouble with that is that the enemy will hide amongst civilians.
Deterrence of any kind requires the other side believes you will (or even might) do it, not just that you have the capacity.

China in particular may well not believe you’ll use nukes on them, despite you having already used nukes twice on populated cities, given how dependent you now are on China for manufacturing.
Just tell everyone your nuclear threshold has changed to save $24B ;)
> to enhance meals

Can you clarify what you mean here? I was under the impression european habits of alcohol pairing takes much more space under this umbrella than, say, whether an american associates junk foods (pizza, wings) with beer.
The next cyber/eco war doesn't care about military.
It can easily destabilize and let the country collapse.
A nuclear deterrent only works if you're willing to use it (and basically commit suicide in the process). China is betting that the US isn't willing to risk MAD over Taiwan, and I would say that they're probably right.

VMS Software Inc. [1] are the custodian of (own, I suppose) VMS these days.

The exciting news in this space is that the x86 port of OpenVMS is coming along nicely. While I’ve not used VMS in production (apart from a few days at an, ahem, large British telco, where we had to track down a retiree), I’ve always been fond of it and have an Alphastation at home. VSI are also providing the hobbyist license for OpenVMS for Itanium, Alpha and soon x86. After some concern last year that it would go away it’s nice to see them doing this [2].

Rocket Lab | Operations Software Engineer (Full Stack) | Full-time | Long Beach, CA | ONSITE (Currently remote due to COVID)

Rocket Lab is seeking a Software Engineer to support the development of Photon, with an emphasis on operations software. In this role, you will be working to develop our Space Operations Software that is responsible for commanding and data handling for all of Photon’s operations in space. This role will involve developing software to work with cloud technologies, mission & ground software, customer APIs, and large databases. Especially looking for DevOps + AWS experience.

This all works on the assumption the US armed forces exist to defend the US and allies. They don't.

Partly they're a jobs program both for "jarheads" and engineers and scientists. Partly they're for bullying small nations that happen to get into political cross hairs (Iraqx2, Afghanistan, Iran soon). Partly they are an export industry that let's the US maintain trade balances with places like Saudi Arabia (and effectively charge them for protecting their regimes).

That's why the US even has aircraft carriers: they've been useless against China or Russia for decades. But they create jobs and let you bomb nations with no real defenses.

No one wants to give up 28bn from their part of the
Knot of self service or risk 50 more casualties the next time we invade Iraq. So we keep prepping for that war.
Defense spending isn't about missiles, it's about jobs and ultimately Red state welfare.
For the end-users the transition from VAX to Alpha rhymed with VEST, which was a command-line utility to produce an Alpha native binary from its VAX original binary. When successful, such image was considererd VESTed. In some (lucky) mismanaged cases this would be the only way forward in absence of the original source code.

Similar process was in use during transition to IA and probably to x86-64 now.

Pure magic, indeed!
Potential solutions to that: prohibit ownership of residential property (whether small scale, like single family up to 4-unit properties, or large scale, e.g. apartment complexes) except as a primary residence by foreign individuals or businesses that have foreign individuals as their true beneficial owners, and have additional taxes on properties that are not owner-occupied a substantial fraction of the year (say, 9 months).
As far as I know, no one is mandating that every comes in the same day. So you can reduce the office space by some percentage, assuming people come in on different days and not all at once.

If you have 10 teams of 5 people each in an office, in a 3/2 hybrid setting you can expect you'll have 30 people in the office. You can pad that to go to 40 people in the office on any given day -- this gives you a 20% reduction in required office space.

For clarity, the question is:

> "App Name" would like permission to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies

> [Allow Tracking]

> [As App Not to Track]

And then also the app developer can put in their own small description that shows in addition to the above.

This seems incredibly fair and conscience. It is an objective statement of facts that is only biased because the reality is something that most people probably don't like.
It's unevenly enforced, not unenforced. If you're willing to photoshop yourself an ID, then sure, that probably works.
- Social chatter.

I associate with my friends and a few groups I frequent. I've never felt the compunction to do this at work or with work people for the most part.

- Making friends with old employees who I didn't know, and connecting with new employees.

Too true; there is this. I've a small handful of people whom I met at work and would call friends. But I usually try to maintain work as work - having friends tied up at a workplace can make for some really bad times when you leave or something happens. I think it's like a work-conditional friend.

- Work Life separation (balance).

If you can master working on work stuff during the day, once you log out of $workchat and vpn, you're off. Set a schedule when you do everyday and work on being predictable.

- Sense of belonging.. team outing, weekday after hours beer.

To me, "hanging out with the team" is definitely work. It has to be work-appropriate talk, on and on. That's enforced team-building activities. My sense of belonging is the paycheck I receive. I will seek elsewhere, not tied down by a job, to get a sense of belonging.

- Intra company sports and games, and then teaming up with office colleagues to play inter company tournaments.

Again, for me, this seems to unhealthily attach a jobs' modus operandi to your own. In reality, unless you're the owner, you are as expendable as any other machine or cog. And I try not to intertwine work relationships with friends. Only rarely do those actually cross.

- (Not me but others) Meeting potential dates

Yipes.

- Office facilities for breakfast, lunch.

My counter is that I have health issues that restrict my diet. At home, I can control exactly what I eat. At work, is what is provided. Its usually good, but sometimes I don't have anything. I would much rather have control of what I eat, by being in my kitchen cooking with my own foodstuffs.

I'm not sure how that's relevant to your privacy as a user, although obviously the tags and other trackers raise concerns around abuse.
That’s… not true at all. You’re telling me that x86-64 and AArch64 don’t work on 64 bit words natively (despite being 64 bit architectures)?

In fact, x86-64 has 256 bit data paths internally in some places.
> The devs want to use the latest frameworks and libraries, because it makes their CV look good

could be this, could also be due to bootcamps that teach the latest and greatest to keep up with the latest tech fads, also maybe because of the mirage that "if I become a react wiz, then I have better chances at landing a job at Facebook! $$$"
This makes no sense. Do you think that Americans go out drinking to get drunk arounds friends, but not to socialize with them?
Reducing mouse usage certainly helped my RSI (tendonitis) problem but I am not sure if I am any faster.
Law enforcement tends to escalate unrest
We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27358712. Please see the rules at the top of the thread.
Copyright assignment is about enforceability, not updating the license. It's much easier to maintain copyright registrations, and to prosecute an infringement case, when you control all the copyrights.

Anyhow, we don't have to guess why they want it:

> Under US copyright law, which is the law under which most free software programs have historically been first published, there are very substantial procedural advantages to registration of copyright. And despite the broad right of distribution conveyed by the GPL, enforcement of copyright is generally not possible for distributors: only the copyright holder or someone having assignment of the copyright can enforce the license. If there are multiple authors of a copyrighted work, successful enforcement depends on having the cooperation of all authors.

> In order to make sure that all of our copyrights can meet the recordkeeping and other requirements of registration, and in order to be able to enforce the GPL most effectively, FSF requires that each author of code incorporated in FSF projects provide a copyright assignment, and, where appropriate, a disclaimer of any work-for-hire ownership claims by the programmer's employer. That way we can be sure that all the code in FSF projects is free code, whose freedom we can most effectively protect, and therefore on which other developers can completely rely.

That's not at all how the CC works. Severing it used to be a common treatment for epilepsy (it prevents the synchronized firing of neurons that cause seizures), and those people were all basically themselves afterwards.

Its an interesting take, but the Military's sole purpose isn't to fight China. Its to scare smaller nations into the USA sphere of influence, or to destabilise those firmly outside it.

For example, the coup in Bolivia: https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/was-coup-against-evo-moral...

China might win the first battles with that rocket barrage, but it will also firmly cut itself off from world trade - ores, food, gas, oil. There's no winning move.

There are large-scale dysgenic Demographic changes occurring in the West: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/iq-rates-are-dropping-...

China needs merely wait a few generations (if it has the patience) and it will have a much easier time asserting itself. Alternatively, to just buy off Western politicians (as it is already doing) - which beats rockets for cost efficiency.
What I learned launching my first product, part 3
And if you want to join data from different SaaS and internal systems e.g. Google Analytics and a Pega decisioning system.

Are you going to spend months upfront carefully modelling the data in order to ingest it making sure to handle schema and DQ issues etc. All to support one use case who only needs a handful of fields.

No. Which is why data lakes exist. Because it's cost effective. You simply dump the data and ask the Engineer or Data Scientist building the use case to do the heavy lifting rather than a centralised data team.
this is the equivalent of saying: "in return of living in a well-maintained nice neighborhood, you should not password-lock your wifi"
Incomplete combustion of rocket fuel. For example, when fetching the astronauts out of their ship after it has landed at sea, SpaceX has to first test for the presence of toxic pollutants.
Also hiring SREs:

Rocket Lab | Site Reliability Engineer | Full-time | Long Beach, CA | ONSITE (Currently remote due to COVID)

Because operations at Rocket Lab is focused on automation, this engineer will need to develop tooling and metrics that are reliable and maintainable, while thriving in an agile environment where needs change often and software needs to grow to support new challenges. This person will be directly responsible for the design and implementation of network and platform tools (primarily AWS, but also GCP, Azure, and some on-prem assets).

This SRE role will report to the Spacecraft Operations Lead. The Spacecraft Operations group is responsible for on-orbit operation of Rocket Lab spacecraft after launch and orbit injection and works directly with the launch team for mission planning and operational support. The Spacecraft Ops team is also responsible for the backend services and user tools for operating the Photon satellites

require them all to be uploaded to; a local, a state, and a federal servers before clocking off every day. and all to be interned into the public record within 90 unless it a court order says other wise and then must have a public release date given within 5 years
In my experience: some people may take it as a personal reflection on them, if you stop drinking, and will react negatively.

(I don't recommend keeping those people in your life.)
> So we get these laws that say, "solve the problem", and there isn't a way to solve the problem.

To give another obvious example of this pattern, there's "Make a crypto system which only lets the good guys in, not the bad guys".

In both cases, there's a "think of the children" imperative attached, but at least with laws about age restrictions there's more of a chance that the politicians' true goal isn't mass surveillance.
I wouldn't think so, and this sounds like a mighty footgun!
The phrase "planned obsolescence" implies and is a claim of intent. The obsolescence wasn't "planned" if it was simply a side-effect of value engineering... it was simply consequential. There are some proven instances of obsolescence being planned, but this is by far an exception, not the norm.

The broad root claim above that "Consumer grade products are deliberately designed to fail." is the assertion with insufficient evidence. The video attached to that claim has a few valid examples, but a few examples over the past century is not indicative of the current state of the entire manufacturing industry... especially when there is a textbook engineering practice that does explain the same.
There was also just shy of a dozen different Trackpoint designs, I don't doubt that one or two were seriously faulty, and I certainly have my preferences (the lower profile ones definitely don't track as well). In any case, the positioning and design of it is pretty ideal for people looking to reduce context switching at any cost.
Would the US be willing to launch a bunch of non-nuclear missiles to China, though? Because I'd also bet they wouldn't. And if they would be, the missiles they already have would already work
Sadly, the pace of modern war will not give you the luxury of a re-start after a loss. The enemy will be taking over the best houses and issuing occupation scrip and the women will soon be mothering children of the occupiers while the men are in labor camps - if they are allowed to live at all.

You seem to be getting downvoted, but you're not wrong. They're entirely different ends of the market.
HVDC saves on overnight batteries and is a hedge against weather and other factors.
Well a good portion of protestors would agree it's because of police training and less-lethal equipment, or lack thereof.
I see that BioNTech was founded in 2008. Moderna was founded in 2010.

I guess that like many advances, mRNA was (and still is) a new, promising technology that prompted people to found companies to bring it to the market. Moderna, as an American company, probably simply went to see DARPA when they were looking for funding because of the potential of the technology.
The United States Digital Service is a team of cross-agency federal technologists who work on some of the biggest issues affecting the American people, including: streamlining immigration, helping veterans get benefits, modernizing health care, reforming hiring, improving school safety, fixing procurement, and more.

Don't know why this was heavily downvoted at the time of this posting. No sources, sure, but most of it is common knowledge with a few unsourced opinioned edges - fair enough to me, and I think an interesting viewpoint.

Especially the part regarding china (or russia, or north korea, or iran, for that matter, in order of decreasing confidence) seems to be just true to me.
