This is part 3 of a 3 part series. If you’re confused, start at #1, but even then it moves very quickly through a mountain of content, with some assumed familiarity with some aspects of graphics programming in #3. Detailed knowledge about how React fiber works is a mandatory prerequisite and it would help if the posts told you what you were expected to know first.

Most importantly there is working code if you actually click on the links. I didn’t at first and missed it because it’s not obvious which are crucial to click on. Here it is: https://gitlab.com/unconed/use.gpu

Post #2 about “data flow graphs (DFGs)” and post #3’s brief treatment of the double-tree sowing and reaping thing might be easier to understand if you have watched this talk about Jane Street’s Incremental, specifically how the various iterations address the dynamic complexity introduced by the `bind` function:

The whiteboard drawings there are fantastic. Yaron starts very near zero and builds steadily from there. Acko’s posts start at 900 in about five different domains and zoom to 4900 in each. Of course at 4900 you have a pretty cool and way out of my league declarative and reactive GPU render pipeline but maybe slow down for us a bit!
It's not too hard to imagine that there are decommissioned coal fired power plants in other parts of the world. Many were shut down when natural gas became cheaper than coal because they were too old or in a bad location for conversion to natural gas.

> Oil is a global commodity. If America burns less then the price goes down. Which makes it cheaper for other countries to independently enact a carbon tax. Which they have the incentive to do because they get brownie points, and their domestic population doesn't rebel against a change that only keeps the price the same, and it generates revenue at the expense of the (foreign) oil companies. The more countries do this, the easier it is for the others to do it, at the expense of oil net exporters like Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Or those countries don't enact a carbon tax and then start sucking up factories from countries that did.

If every country enacted the same taxes then the question comes down to which country has the most lax enforcement. If the enforcement is all the same then you have a potential solution, but of course this is a huge ask in the modern world. It's hard to get competitors to work cooperatively. As long as people treat the world economy like a big zero sum game this problem is basically unsolvable.
There's a difference between a fairly simple linear model of the climate and trying to guess whether the initial conditions of an unstable disease propagation model are < 1.0 or > 1.0.

Think of climate modeling as saying that for a given species of trees, half of them will be dead at a given latitude in 50-100 years, not pointing at a specific tree and predicting that it will die on July 7th, 2047.
Thanks! I play a little too much wow during the pandemic.
I'm curios if OSSU's self-taught is more self-taught than typical CS course from other Coursera partner universities. I took several courses there (mainly from Duke) and I would not call it self-taught because instructor's role in the process was quite gross.
> If the goal is just to provide resistance against breathing, wouldn't it work just as well to suck air through

There's something a lot of people (including myself) do which sounds a lot like Darth Vader, which is to cup your open mouth and breathe in while getting stressed about things.

You probably don't need a device at all to do breathing exercises (like a kapalbhati in Hindu tantric traditions, though the whole exercise involves stuff you need a tub for).

The electronic device is probably better for a medical setting , because it will not just measure, it will track the activity in some way - the numbers matter because the medical practice is evidence based in a good way, the goal being to titrate a dosage, even for exercise interventions.
"Do the advertise encryption?"

Do they need to? The point wasn't "they falsely advertise encryption"
The point was "they do not respect privacy"

Their advertising is irrelevant.
I'm a nontechnical person and I've always struggled with pairing up with the right cofounder. It's quite hard to team up with someone who has similar interests and is ready to go full time on something when you are from your existing network. I've been using the platform for a month or two and have had some great matches already; ironically the two people I've been working with most closely (working with one another for a few months to see if we gel) did end up coming from my network but I still am active on the platform and highly recommend it to folks who are searching for a cofounder. I was a little hesitant at first because I figured best practice was to work with someone you had a pre-existing relationship with, otherwise the potential for a bad breakup down the line would be higher or accelerators/vc's would judge you but candidly, I'm a lot less worried about that now given the quality of the matches and that a leader in the space like YC is championing this.
It's interesting to me that the final "here's the new improved layout" screenshot is a 2000px wide screen shot. If you have to have such a large window to not fail cramped just to make some random metric happy, then I think you've failed.

The page itself also really seems to fight me moving around the map due to how it manages state and the URL stack. No doubt my browser isn't the same as a normal users, but it strikes me they're chasing the wrong goals here.
Has this person ever been to Texas? Texas is not a monoclimate, but if he's proposing that all the land is parched then he's thinking west Texas. Where is all his fireplace wood coming from - there are very few trees there. How does he expect people to live there without A/C? How will these rooftop gardens survive the near constant and drying winds? As someone who has been to Amarillo more times than I wanted to, I don't think this is in any way realistic. If instead we assume this town is say within an hour of Houston - there are different concerns, but being perpetually parched is not on of them.
Interesting product - have felt an acute need for something similar while writing machine learning preprocessing pipelines without having to spin up a dask or pyspark cluster.

How are you dealing with data streaming latency here? For most of the things I've worked on the compute needs grow O(n) or O(n^2) with the dataset size. Farming out the compute to a remote server might solve the CPU bottlenecks but at the expense of having to pay the network transfer overhead. For the speed of most pipelines I'm not sure that's a viable tradeoff.
I'd be wary of misinterpreting endearment as honorific.

Morally, he couldn't exalt a Pagan. He only brought himself to say that they essentially "weren't all bad", and beautifully illustrated. He was right, of course, about them—but ultimately he looked down upon them from a moral and ethical standpoint.
It's called the "greenhouse effect" because the CO2 traps heat in the earth's atmosphere, just like the walls and roof of a greenhouse trap the heat inside the greenhouse. Greenhouses are also enriched with extra CO2 to boost yields, but that's not why it's called the "greenhouse effect"

I see a lot of comments discussing the legitimacy of the investigative technique, and whether "lobbyists being lobbyists" is bad. For those of us who agree that lobbying sucks and that Greenpeace is fighting a worthy fight, I want to start the conversation towards: what do we do with this?

So, not in the abstract, what can you, the tech savvy HN reader, and the rest of us, do about this kind of stuff? I know that taking a study like this and amplifying it's signal is one positive, actionable thing (I've forwarded the article to a group of folks I know have active presence in places where it could matter). I'm curious as to what you all do to fight against [ shitty lobbyists, busted democracy, climate change ] that might be unintuitive to others?

Specifically, I'm not asking whether these things are worth fighting for. There's enough discussion about that. Just for those of us who see the problems; wat do?
Not if increased water evaporation leads to increased cloud cover leads to increased rainfall. We don’t know what will happen, it’s simply too complex to model accurately.

Certainly there are flaws in his reasoning, but it's still interesting enough to spark discussion, as evidenced by the number of comments.
>I see some do not appreciate this

It is the same approach to defend off phishing attacks in large corporations: shift the responsibility to the user.

In my opinion, this is just another scream for codified capabilities. Which would be a real solution and not just repeatedly a click away from disaster.
Is Uber extracting revenue right now? I thought their business model to this point largely relied on stock appreciation with value extraction from that happening in the form of lower costs to users compared to normal taxis, not more revenue per ride to Uber.

The bigger issue is it's not clear drivers going on the blockchain is even legal. Uber and Lyft provide some minimal vetting and certification. Prior to them, drivers directly owned their own taxi businesses, but needed medallions, which also involved regulatory compliance. Uber and Lyft could get away with operating in legal gray areas because of huge legal departments funded by VCs and stock holders. Can individual drivers do that or will cities just hammer them?
Are you implying that somewhere along the way, the math works out that management shouldn't listen to IT? I'm stretched trying to reach that viewpoint how the math works out when you company gets Colonial Pipeline'd
Nitpicky, but the New 3DS isnt more than 8 times faster than the Old 3DS: it has a quad core 800MHz processor instead of a dual core 268MHz processor. Even with perfectly scaled multi-threaded code, thats only a ~6x increase.
[Sorry for the late reply, but I hope it's useful for the OP:]

I agree. But it's interesting to look at the history of the polio vaccine. Oversimplifying, the first vaccine was injectable and "leaky"[1] (and a huge success), the second vaccine was oral and not leaky. So even if we get a leaky vaccine now, we can improve it or make another in five years. Anyway, the oral vaccine has other problems, so when a country has no cases for a long time, the country use only the injectable one. More details and accuracy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine

[1] Is "leaky" the correct technical term?

I mean, lesson zero of optimization is when you're designing a loss function and trying to incentivize agents to perform a task, don't set it up so that suicide has a higher payoff than making partial progress on the task. Maybe make death the worst outcome, not one of the best...?

One of these days I have to actually scour the web and collect a few good examples where evolutionary methods are used effectively on problems that actually benefit from them, assuming I can find them. Almost every example you're likely to see is either a) solved much more effectively by a more traditional approach like normal gradient descent or classic control theory techniques (most physical control experiments fall into this category), b) poorly implemented because of crappy reward setup, c) fully mutation-driven and hence missing what is actually good about evolution above and beyond gradient descent (crossover), or d) using such a trivial genotype to phenotype mapping that you could never hope to see any benefit from evolutionary methods beyond what gradient descent would give you (if the genome is a bunch of neural network weights, you're definitely in this category).

It's not like we don't have safe enough CPUs, safe enough languages and programming techniques, or understanding how to architect safe systems and usage practices.

It just costs a very significant amount of money. Many businesses just don't see the lowered risk to be worth the expense.
Sure old != bad if they maintain it... Classic ASP was good 20 years ago, it's harder to secure than a modern framework which helps with security (e.g. XSS helpers, ORMs to help mitigate SQLi, which is one of the issues exploited here)

The problem is that in most codebases I've seen, once you get to 19 years passed deprecated, it's not that it's a well maintained hardened environment. It's a poorly maintained environment that people don't want to clean up for fear they break something.
Coincidentally I think the best self help book I've read was written by a Canadian. Maybe it's because he had the rest of the culture to contrast his ideas against.
While I did pick the projects for their notability, I could point out the fact that Gnome have an active disdain for extension developers and the entire idea of extensions as well as Mozilla continuing to make unpopular decision after unpopular decision with their browser.
Plants do not sequester enough additional co2 to offset what humans release into atmosphere. But increasing co2 will increase rate of growth of plants provided other limiting factors do not impede growth.

Every insurance company is allowing tele-health therapy right now. I believe in order to provide therapy, the therapist must be credentialed in the state the employee lives in. I believe you can check psychology.com to find out what insurance is taken by therapists in each state. Tele-therapy seems to be working well and I hear that at least some insurance companies are working to provide therapy in house (like the Kaiser Permanente model for doctors).

Yeh I have been looking at a major brands site and the thing that triggers "poor" pages seems to be CLS based on what GSC is telling us.
And these anti-White activists have extraordinary power in academia, politics, the press, etc.

You won't find a relevant textbook in use in major universities that doesn't support this definition, perhaps even explicitly. It would be a brave politician to openly object to this concept.

What is said in private may be different, but publicly this definition has the consensus in the modern West.
Why not try to combine it with some right-to-repair-friendly stuff? If, after the cessation of support, you release any and all source code and documentation needed for any person competent in the relevant sciences and arts to maintain the device and repair any CVEs, you're off the hook for liability.

I had played around with the idea of requiring support for 3/5/7/10/whatever years after the cessation of sale, kind of like how car manufacturers are required to offer parts support for 10 years after sale, but I can see that causing enough overhead that many tech devices simply would never get made.

> I don't think they jogged a day in their lives.

i don't think they were sitting all day eating highly processed food either.
> That is spyware.

I strongly disagree. The frequency with which I use my mouse to click buttons vs. keyboard shortcuts to invoke functionality in a program is not personal information, and a system that collects it is not spyware.

> For example: do you hover your mouse over an icon?

This is not private information. In fact, about half of the things you indicated are clearly not. What you're describing are points of data collection that could be used for fingerprinting, which is an entirely separate issue, and can be defeated relatively easily (by adding noise, not recording some pieces of data, and aggregating others).

> Does your computer location move? Do you travel between cities a lot, or even countries?

The other half of the things that you describe are actual spying and wouldn't be called telemetry anyway. This is a strawman argument.

> It's a hop-skip-and-a-jump to learn private information from how software is used.

Tell me how the Audacity developers knowing that I press a sequence of three buttons in a row enables them to determine that I'm single, or how tall I am, or that I like Polish TV dramas, or literally any other personal information?

This is an absurd fallacy. Even assuming that the developers somehow managed to sneak in granular enough telemetry (ignoring real keyloggers, because again, we're talking about telemetry) that they could fingerprint you, literally the only thing that allows them to do is identify when a the same person uses Audacity on multiple machines. There's no leakage of actual personal information.
I would go for Pi as well. The Pi3 I have can do most daily tasks, I assume the 4 is even better, especially for video editing (blender perhaps?)

Quote marks can be easily misinterpreted, I was just using the phrase you used, my bad.

“Faintest bit of background”
Meaning, your two competing hypotheses leave out pretty much everything that is known at this point, not an academic credential or such, just a basic reading on the known facts at this point.

“Natural origin” was the leading hypothesis from the start more than a year ago. At this point, there is no evidence for it, there is substantial evidence against it, and the pile of circumstantial evidence for the Wuhan lab being the source is a mile high.

My point was that we refer to “greenhouse gasses” and “greenhouse effect” because these are associated with what happens in greenhouses because plants grow better in them.
You are correct! The simulation as written does not handle the no slip condition. The simulated "air" is inviscid and irrotational. You would need to tackle a few more things in order to have a really accurate simulation.
If there's nothing in movie theaters but trash, but your culture values movie-going experience, then you have no choice but either watch trash or forgo this part of your cultural experience altogether. I've been choosing the latter for years now, but I can understand people that choose the former - because I still miss the experience. I'd love to go back to it - but not with trash.

The McDonalds analogy is actually better than you think - imagine by some market quirk most of the restaurants in your city hired chefs that suck at their job. Because, say, The American Culinary Institute declared food is not supposed to taste good, it is supposed to send the right message, and the taste is secondary. It's not like the food isn't edible or harmful anymore - it still delivers the nutrition, and still kinda edible, but sucks. Ignoring the fact you could cook for yourself - let's imagine for a minute you have to dine out - what would you do? You'd go and eat sucky food. And since you do, the business model is provably working. Maybe if the whole town agreed to not eat out for a couple of months as a protest against sucky food, it could be changed - but what are the chances of that actually happening?

Indeed, I'm personally half of a two-dev team maintaining and developing a system that I'd say falls deep into this category. Our giant legacy codebase has a few warts, but on the whole it follows a few simple design patterns that, once you understand them, makes it very easy to find your way around and change/extend. We also have an extensive domain understanding and direct contact with our user base, so we design, implement, review/test and deploy features very fast compared to any other team I've encountered in the organization. And though the underlying technology is mostly ancient, our product is growing strongly and consistently outcompeting systems with budgets of a different stratosphere in the open market.
A lot of it comes down to legible editing and camerawork. If you have a big name actor who can’t do the action that well, you can use shakycam and fast cuts to obscure that. That specific trend is probably on its way out thanks to John Wick, though.
While this is pretty meh compared to the other requirements, it clearly shows that MS can disregard all reason and consideration and just YOLO it. This is what lack of competition leads to.
