I don't think so. Compilers have gotten smart, but so have people. See for example stuff like this[0]. Hot path stuff still sees hand-written assembly even in this day and age because even modern compilers aren't able to provide enough overhead elision guarantees required for the really hardcore optimizations.

What really happened is that thanks to the advances in computing power over the decades, we can now afford to skimp on performance most of the time - putting effort in optimizing only the most critical code paths - and still be able to get away with it.

But when we're talking about squeezing every drop of performance, one of the big challenges with fighting against the JIT engine is figuring out when things deoptimize. This is because there are patterns (e.g. polymorphic code paths) that are inherently impossible to optimize perfectly (because halting problem). As soon as the runtime runs into a "weird" data type, deoptimization is forced to kick in and that can destroy performance. As a developer you have to be extremely mindful of this. Type systems like Typescript help, but you can still be effectively polymorphic (e.g. large union types, `any`, etc) if you're not being mindful of the underlying machine code.

And JIT has one major downside that these benchmarks often intentionally omit in the name of "reducing noise": they usually take a while to warm up to native-like speed. I'm talking in the order of thousands of iterations running at a couple of order of magnitudes slower before JIT speeds fully kicks in.

In bombshell report, scientist says he's recovered Wuhan data that was deleted
I would hope (but I do not expect) Western Digital to recover the data for the end users. This is a really bad situation for some.

XKCD as usual quite prescient about the problems of standardization. I think pretty much everyone agrees with your solution -- so long as their platform is the one that everyone standardizes on!

The sad reality is that because of these issues (and, to be fair, others) most trading is moving off lit exchanges altogether. For some companies we are talking about 80% or more of the volume, and this would be even higher if not for the requirement that day-open and close auctions happen on the "home" exchange.

We have made a proposal to the SEC to bring this off-exchange activity back into the light of the protected quote, but nothing to report at this time about how, when, or if this will come to fruition:

One of the more interesting projects I ever had to complete was while awaiting clearance when I first started working for the NRO years back in ground processing algorithms (no longer work there, by the way). One of the long time guys gave us an assignment to implement the BCH error-correcting code, and then iteratively optimize it until we were able to implement the algorithm for computing the code published in a company proprietary whitepaper that was more efficient than any of the publicly published algorithms. That was just everything that is fun about programming. The actual production implementation corrected up to 8 bits per block, though I can't remember the block size any more.

Ground processing was a totally separate program and contract from mission control, though, so my team only ever received data from the satellites. We never sent data to them.

If you're still curious, the podcast is Trash Taste which is a bunch of friends talking about their lives really but they had an animator on their for an episode[0], the entirety of the podcast is 2 hours long and the mention of blender is fairly short. I was trying to find a clip because they do that of their own shows, however I found a tweet [1] in looking by the guest. It may still be an interesting one to watch and two of the members Joey (theanimeman) and Garnt (Gigguk) have done tours of anime studios (CloverWorks and JC Staff respectively).

Edit: If Twitter wouldn't have wigged out on me I would have found the link to the clip I was searching for, it was mentioned in the first tweet in that thread [3].

Uh-uh. Because you can just use a payphone to call one, right?

When I lost my phone in Madrid, and realized that I have no way to call a taxi, since I was staying in a residential area where you don't see taxis in the streets.

My Spanish was barely sufficient to explain my predicament, and I lucked out because a random convenience store clerk called me a taxi from his phone.

Which reminds me: in case you didn't notice, there are no more payphones. In 2001, I could walk up to one, and use one of them Yellow Books to do anything you could do one the phone.

Today, you need to have a smartphone to do many basic things.

That's exactly the problem, UI redesigns are almost never based objective arguments. Instead they are driven by fads and the personal preferences of whoever wins the internal argument, with users caught in the middle.

Software going through massive redesigns every couple versions should be seen as a huge negative. If the last redesign was so bad it needed to be replaced so soon, why should I trust the new one to be any better? Instead these changes often get trumpeted.
It may sound a little unfair, but the MyBook has been on my personal Ban List for 14 years now. (has it been that long?)

One of the reasons I am rather fond of the Amish as a group (even though their lifestyle isn't for me) is that while they do have pretty strict religious tenants, they also[1] strongly embrace and celebrate the fact that offspring are given a free choice of whether to stay within the community or leave it - it allows the individual to make the choice that's right for them but it does potentially erode the survival of the culture. The Shakers eschewed procreation as part of their culture and relied on adoption and voluntary adult membership to continue on and died out quite a while back so this sort of cultural extinction is quite a real possibility.

That's where I think this gets muddled and especially difficult. Will there be people struggling in this traditional culture that really wish to live a life more in tune with western values but feel constrained by their local community to remain in a traditional setting.

When it comes to children and which path the next generation takes - that's where this problem gets really hard to think on. Just the other day on HN there was a discussion of transgender rights and part of it included considerations on whether children should be able to freely elect to have non-reversible surgery (that is something of a strawman since it is an extremely rare desire in child but :shrug:) and it's a place I feel torn because developing minds are still trying to learn their identity.

Child mortality rates were high in those days. Just to add some numbers, 30% of Canadian children died before reaching the age of 5 around the year 1900[1]. Presumably at a school the mortality rate would be lower because the children were older. But this is not necessarily an unreasonable death rate for a school that operated many decades. Especially for undernourished native kids who would've been much more vulnerable to diseases they had no historic immunity to. This would have been common in other countries and other Canadian schools too. The difference, of course, is usually a boarding school would contact the parents to notify them.

People are spinning this story like this was a death camp for native kids. It's not. It was a real tragedy that children were removed from their parents forcibly and the institutions couldn't be bothered to report if your kid freaking died...

Given the period in time and lack off oversight, I don't doubt there was abuse too, and let's not forget this is the Catholic church, which has a poor record, but it's clueless to account these deaths to abuse just on the basis of possible graves existing on ground penetrating radar. We're not even sure these are all graves, you have to excavate to have an idea what the error rate is.

One last thing to keep in mind is at this point in time the government barely existed. There were no social safety nets or programs and hardly any government oversight out west. It's called the wild west for a reason. The church was operating these schools as a charity because the government had neither the resources not inclination to do it themselves.

Things were different back then, and they often don't look good judged through our modern eyes. That's a sign of how far we've come in less than a century.

To us today this looks about the same as what the Chinese are doing to the Uighurs. Definitely not a moment in history to be proud of.

It’s pretty disingenuous to say that Thiel’s investments just happened to be “in the top 0.0001%” like he’s some 90s wunderkind. He bought non-public shares for $0.001 per share - a price that no one except a PayPal founder would have access to - years before PayPal went public and then watched it balloon after IPO and onwards. This is not the same thing as the average American making wise investments and to paint it like that is missing the point entirely. I certainly don’t agree that Thiel is “stealing” or being sinister here, but I also don’t see any other comments in this thread purporting he is. It seems the general consensus is this is just another “hack” of the system (purchasing shares of your own company before IPO with a triple tax benefit account) out of reach to 99% of people - which is true.
Death rates were vastly higher than usual, even with lockdowns, testing, masks, shielding, social distancing and eventually vaccines. Plus those pretty much eliminated flu this winter. So the deaths here are artificially low numbers.

Nothing is deferred with a Roth IRA. There are no taxes owed on distributions.
"This is the law functioning as intended"

The law creating Roth IRAs was intended for middle-class people, not billionaires. Likewise, the law allowing conversions from Traditional to Roth IRAs was intended for the middle-class. A billionaire taking advantage of the Roth conversion to amass a Roth IRA worth billions is not even remotely what the relevant laws were intended for; that it is legal is an oversight on the part of Congress, who did not realize what they were drafting when they wrote the law.

Moreover, it is not as if billionaires need to exploit the IRA rules like this. Typically billionaires will avoid taxes by borrowing against the value of their assets, then deducting the interest they pay on those loans from the income they use to pay the interest (done right, this results in no income taxes). That is an example of the law working as intended.

I completely disagree. A lot of the data is standardized already, such as lab values and other so-called "structured" data, and can be used almost immediately without much cleaning. This is most of the routine data collection. The largest remaining part is patient notes, which are free form text but still contain plenty of useful information searchable by keyword or extractable by human curators.

You are correct that if doctors could be more strategic about how they collect info it would make the job of the data scientist much easier. This is especially true in radiology and pathology.
The minimum wage in 1950 was $0.75 which is equivalent to $8.21 in 2021 dollars.

https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/pricesandwages/1950-1959 Seems to indicate a lot of commodities match up with this. For instance “ Milk cost an average of 41¢ per ½ gallon in 1950. Source: U.S. BLS”

So for an hour’s minimum wage in 1950 you could buy half a gallon of milk. Now in 2021 an hour of minimum wage would buy about 2 gallons of milk or more.

The main item that seems out of balance is housing cost. “ In 1950, the median home value was $7,354. Source: US Census Bureau” that’s $84,000 in 2021 dollars while the modern median house price in 2021 is actually $269,000.

A big part of this is likely due to banning smaller housing, tenement housing, manufactured housing, and other cheap housing options.

This highly depends. I believe what Grumple is talking about is contracted work for a specific customer that is asking you for something different, even though what you've already delivered works. You're talking about consumer-facing product teams that make whatever they want and try to sell it after the fact, coming to their own decisions regarding what their "requirements" should be. When your work is funded by a specific customer, the requirements are whatever that customer says they are. And they're almost never going to let you change something just because you wanted to in order to learn a technology you can put on your resume.

Founders shares are typically underpriced at a nominal value - which is why they’re tied by vesting agreements to continued employment at the startup.

I don't think the problem is the TPM.

I am running a Ryzen 2200G (1st gen Zen) on an Asus Tuf B450M-Pro S. I have fTPM (firmware TPM) enabled in the BIOS. My Windows 10 detects a running TPM 2.0.

I just ran the MS "PC Health Check", and it tells me "This PC cannot run Windows 11" .

This is a brand new machine. I built it 2 months ago. It was the only Ryzen APU available to buy online here in Brazil!

Bummer.
If Microsoft really wanted to, they could find a way to squeeze the old panels into the new UI. They can run x86 binaries on ARM, and all sorts of other tricks, its not like they lack the engineering talent.

They also do loads of shims/special treatments for specific apps based on a compatibility database. Worst case scenario, they could rewrite the top ~100 most common ones and make “Legacy Control Panel” an optional feature that is off by default.

It has been 5+ years since Windows 10 came out, longer since 8, Microsoft really doesn’t need people making excuses for them.
I’m a buyer in this range. I’ve bought various small online tools that either weren’t monetised or weren’t monetised well, then I just put a small amount of effort into tidying it up a bit. Zero goals to “go big”, each just brings in a bit of pocket money.

If you compare the typical big-money SV-style startup sales to be like people building/flipping properly, this would be the equivalent of fixing up and flipping cheap cars or furniture. It’s a fun side hobby that makes you some extra spending money, not something to make you rich.

Hey just wanted to say thanks for explaining that. I had a talk with my RIA and he never suggested it because my position for the past decade of working with him has consistently been that I would be working past IRA penalty age so it wasn't an issue.

Seems like we already got the gist of this "report" from what's already been leaked / disclosed.

"Of the unidentified 'things' out there, we know they aren't our military. Beyond that we don't know, but we don't think it's a foreign country or aliens. But it might be either. Or both. Or something else. Any questions?"

And of course anything really interesting will be in the "classified annex". So in short, the general public will know exactly as much about UFO's / UAP's after this report is published as they do today.

These mechanisms are super simple to control: just disconnect the board and use a Raspberry Pi or Arduino to send a pair of signals (+ and -) to make the second hand jump one second.

I did an art project back in 2016 with a $2 IKEA clock with a Raspberry Pi and a camera. I used OpenCV to detect when someone was looking at the clock, and when that happened the hands would stop moving, freezing. When the person looked away the clock would tick at a faster race, until it caught up with the right time. One of my favorite projects!

|* Using other languages besides Javascript, or languages that just compile to JS|

This might be the most under appreciated comment I have seen all day. While Typescript did some wrangling to bring a bit a bit of "normalcy" to Javascript, the consistency that C++/Rust bring from a coding language point is (for me) enough to have gottem me interested in the use of WASM. Maybe I'm just lazy or have a strong dislike of the headache I get from learning JS compared to switching over to other languages.

You could totally make this in the early 2000s. Back then PIC, Atmel (pre-arduino), 8051, and Z80 chips were super cheap and accessible. Everything, including the MCUs, were standard through-hole components. Perfboard was regularly used for quick prototyping, and etching hand drawn circuit boards was accessible (IIRC one of the first articles I remember reading in the then new Make magazine back then was about DIY circuit board etching). There was a Radioshack on almost every street corner and you could get most of the parts to build this right there.
