Intel is facing some difficult times ahead. they were the kings of the industry for a while but now there is a lot of pressure and competition coming.

AMD is re-surging with great technology, they already chipped away some market share in key sectors and I see that continuing for a while.

TSMC has closed the gap and exceeded Intel in manufacturing, Samsung is not too far behind. Intel is no longer the market leader in chip fabrication.

Nvidia is buying ARM and aiming to start competing in the CPU space, with their GPU leadership that could be huge.

x86 is starting to lose it's complete dominance & new players coming in(Apple M1, RISC-V, Nuvia, Ampere)

Cloud vendors are starting to build their own chips and tech instead of buying them(Graviton, TPU)

I see Intel still being profitable and stable but losing their truly unprecedented grasp on the industry.
The response from Airbnb seems aggressively dismissive. There may be some truth in their rebuttal, but stepping back and recognizing that they are economically incentivized to disagree, it's tempting to dismiss their objections outright. Their unwillingness to provide better data, or refute with data is also... telling?
It surely is, UNIX and C are a symbiotic relationship, born out of each other, one in 1969, the other in 1972.

I surely have, hence why I have gone back to Windows, where the focus is C++ and .NET, macOS where the focus is Objective-C and Swift (UNIX is there for historical reasons only), Android where the focus are Java/Kotlin and C++ (with Linux kernel being an implementation detail).
Correct me if I'm wrong, but "peak whale" and "peak oil" are naturally self-correcting in a free-market, because as the resources become scarce their prices goes up hence leading to technological incentives to find alternative sources.

This would also apply to topsoil erosion. However this isn't the case with carbon emissions for example, unless we had some financial feedback loop (e.g. some carbon tax).
Only 2.3% of Americans earn minimum wage.

The relationship between unemployment and minimum wage is not as concrete as you might think. Economics 101 predicts it would, but empirical studies don't actually tend to support or refute that notion.

Unsure how UBI doesn't results in massive inflation. Not against the concept, but not sure why we couldn't just have a functioning welfare system.

I'm also seeing a lot of good videos explaining political views or debating them.

The flat earth movement for example spun up on youtube and is going down again.

Which feels to me that there are mechanism in place or persistency on information sharing which of course can go both directions, but its harder to just be in your own bubble.

Nonetheless, i did not use a political example because i wanted to make my point on something non controversial and still highly positive.

You can create "block-scope" with an immediately-called function.
Due to Linux being the host (and Proton being heavily used), I wonder what this will mean for Denuvo enabled games. Could it lead to publishers stopping to use it?

I also wonder if this device will lead to more games targeting Linux as a first class platform.
I think a lot of the performance problems on the switch occur when you set the resolution of the device to anything outside a fixed 720p.

I've definitely had issues with 1st party titles, but after going into the settings and forcing 720p, some did go away. At the end of the day I mostly play my Switch in docked mode with an mClassic, so the forced 720p doesn't typically detract from the experience.

However, many 3rd party titles on the Switch are just actively bad ports. Omensight, for example, which is an otherwise good game has the most atrocious port I've ever seen on a console. I would agree with you that the thread parent is off-the-mark in saying that Valve will do worse here -- PC settings are notoriously better than what you get from traditional consoles since you can actively choose to optimize them to your environment, instead of hoping some developer took the time to even try.

> The pay version is about $7.50 USD a month, which is not cost prohibitive if you care about it.

It’s possible for someone to care about privacy but not have the means to do anything about it.

The fact that $7.50 a month _is_ cost prohibitive for some people is the point of the article.
In practice, it turns out to be more convenient if the definition excludes 1, rather than put a qualifier in every place which uses the term "prime".

For example, it's more convenient to write "every integer greater than 1 is a unique product of prime numbers" than to say "every integer greater than 1 is a unique product of {prime numbers excluding 1}"

(That's the fundamental theorem of arithmetic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_arithme... .)
I assume that various Chinese capitals went through similar population crashes. It's true though that Roman civilization had a particular emphasis on the name of The City, but that didn't prevent the Greek speaking citizens of the estern Roman empire to call themselves Ῥωμαῖοι.

The etymology of Zhongguo IIRC is "central city". Was this the actual name of an actual city that then became the name for the concept of a central city/state as dynasties and rules changed? Is it analogous as if the word Roma had become a generic term for state in european languages and now you'd just call the United Romas of America?
Somehow I've memorised 10243 in order to have a "big prime" that most people can't just determine. Note its the lowest 5 digits.
It also means more games will run on my PC and Ill less likely run into Linux only issues in games though they're pretty rare anyway.
You are begging the question of how to differentiate information from misinformation. Truth cannot be decided by a central authority.

There's a number of technologies and traits that, if adopted en-masse, would definitely reduce our energy and material consumption and extend the sustainability of our planet.

Stop eating meat, extended warranties in home products and designing goods in a way they can be easily repaired, led bulbs, better insulation for buildings, solar water heaters, heat pumps, bicycles...

We could easily consume a fifth of the resources we use now and be as happy if twenty selected things were banned in the world. But we live in a capitalist world, there's only hope in people taking the initiative.
Sounds like the startup is the problem here, not the employee.
There was a time in my life where I would have made approximately minimum wage at a nominal 40 hour work week, and far below that in consideration of actual hours worked. I didn't live alone. I don't know whether you would have called my conditions "comfortable", but with some spending discipline I was able to travel to Europe several times a year.

I value my solitude to be sure, but it's not really clear why living alone is a right rather than a nice-to-have or even a policy goal. If legislators had responded to my plight by making the terms of my employment illegal and hoping for the best, gratitude would not necessarily have been my first instinct.
I loved the design, playing FPS games with it was (and is) really intuitive.

There was a learning curve though and games needed to support its weird style of giving inputs.

Pulse is central to traditional Indian medicine (Ayurveda) [1]. Will be interesting to see what the science finds, although I wouldn’t personally volunteer to have a pumpless-heart. Sounds likely to have unintended consequences as you suggest.

I remember reading, years ago, about someone who was temporarily fitted with a rotary pump. He said his hearing required some adjustment, apparently we sort of constantly hear blood rushing without being aware of it, but that somehow changes when your pulse is gone.

How do these pumps affect blood pressure? Does it become constant? That can't be good for the elasticity of arteries & veins?
While your overall point remains, the Reddit redesign has been so user hostile, especially on mobile, that it’s a pretty poor example.

Any major changes are indeed fundamentally more difficult to make at the scales these companies operate at simply because they impacted orders of magnitude more users.
For the preservation of (inauthentic) harmony, HN has a special rule that says you can't mention the roving mob of the HN equivalent of Twitter blue checkmarks who don't have any substantive rebuttal, but just don't want your comment to be seen, so they downvote or flag it. It's common knowledge, but you can't acknowledge it, or you get the treatment.

I don't think this is right. You can calculate the probability due to pure chance of having a certain number of extreme events in a year, given their variance since records began. If we suppose the probability is 10%, then seeing the same or worse year on year would get us to 0.0001% after just 5 years.

I don't know the numbers are or if they're even this drastic, but at some point they will be and we'll be able to say with confidence that climate change is the cause.

Equations are math. They can be used analytically with pen and paper. No need to turn them into code.
It's not utterly irrational to do it.

It is an opportunity cost though. What else would you rather do with the time and resources it takes to set that up and maintain it? Everybody is free to pick their hobby though!
Everyone: We were wrong about peak oil! Models aren't always right!
Me: Couldn't our models be wrong in the wrong direction?

Is the burden of proof to do nothing until it's scientifically definitive for societal collapse? Or is the burden to intervene until it's definitive that there is no risk of societal collapse (even if our models underestimate).

Those bass notes are noticeably clearer there!

The sound of inharmonicity comes from dispersion -- different frequencies travel through the string at different velocities. The lower the frequency, the less the wave notices the stiffness of the string, so to speak, and the stiffer the string the quicker a wave will travel through it. If you've ever tapped on a wire fence or played with a slinky, you'll be familiar with the "pew" sound. A pure impulse consists of all frequencies at once, but when it's traveled through the fence, bounced off a post, and come back, you hear the high frequencies first, which is why the "pew" descends in frequency.

Anyway, I've found that you can notice this on the attacks of bass notes on pianos. Only the very lowest notes of the Alexander piano seem to really have it audible, and even then it's much more slight.
The Carmat artificial heart was also developed as an end point, but it was easier for them to get it approved as a bridge to a transplant. One person had it at least for more than 2 years (it was in 2020 current fate is unknown).

If the Iranian leadership did not have Israel, they would find something else to fill the same role - Turkey, India, Saudi.

Picking fights with neighbours is an effective way to keep the focus of your citizens away from internal corruption and injustice. Foreign guerrillas are a cheap form of power projection, and their antics entertain your supporters.

In recent times, Hussein, Gadaffi and Putin have all run the same strategy, as have countless African strongmen who we never hear about on the news because they don’t have oil.

Live-and-let-live is not a universal ethos. Just as the Nazis and Stalin were pure power play regimes, so are many current regimes.

The ayatollahs do not lead a democracy, and do not deserve your sympathetic words.

It was not intelligence failures that got us into Iraq. The politicians lied us into the war on purpose and hid, obstructed, and made up the intelligence as they saw fit. One of the biggest crimes in American history should be remembered correctly.
Ah, sorry to hear that. I had assumed the Lite was partly motivated by fixing the terrible joycon situation.
Source? A quick google search would suggest that around 70% of Americans agree that climate change is real. That's way too low, but still a solid majority.

According to an UN poll, 65% of Americans and 64% of the world think that climate change is a global emergency [1]. In every questioned country, a majority said it's a global emergency.

I used to watch Bourdain on the Travel channel. I've never traveled, Bourdain was my escape. Sidnote, has anyone seen what the Travel channel has turned into? This thing where every show is about UFOs or bigfoot (bigfeet) or goatman. I can't tell if they're scripted or they are genuinely taking advantage of the people they are interviewing. Then they'll drop an ad for you to subscribe to Discovery plus every six minutes (they do this on all their networks). Kind of interesting to watch whatever that business model is.

Well, enough of why Bourdain killed himself. Bourdain was brilliant. He was witty, charming, but more importantly you genuinely knew that he cared about every single person he was sitting down and talking to. He always, always respected them and his audience and he never treated you as anything but a friend.

When the news came out about his death I was not surprised. I know what depression is like, the secret suffering (I don't want or need pity comment)s. You can be open and loving and happy on the outside but every hour wonder what's the point of helping people hurt other people, which is ultimately what most of us do. I mean, we couldn't all eat and travel like Bourdain without destroying the planet (worse) and you know he was self-aware to know that. He probablys aid it. Bourdain lived a very large life, he'd seen enough like Hemingway and Wallace and Bennington and...there's a pattern here but I'm sure I'm leaving lots of people out...had before him.

But the way the world reacted to his death. The absolute incomprehension, the continued downplaying of issues like depression even on "educated" places like HN, the conspiracy theories (happy people don't kill themselves - ergo child trafficking), the way we as people and societies bicker about the smallest and stupidest of things and will kill each other over it...I'm certain that's why Bourdain was the person he was, and I thank him for all he taught me and others.
I've nothing but respect for the group, including the member I mentioned. Instead of all this trash talk you could have just said what bothers you about them.
I would bet that they do sell at a loss. There's an interview with Gabe[1] in which he keeps repeating that the price point was painful. He is very vague about it but he also mentions some calculus like "they'd have to sell 8 games to be profitable". So I have no doubt they're doing it like the consoles do it.

The number of cases of persons with diabetes has been increasing over several decades. Diabetes has serious consequences for the patients. There should be a lot more attention for this disease.

The number of patients with diabetes has been rising everywhere in the last decades. Although we know something about some factors that might explain this, like the rise in obesity, there is no good scientific explanation for what causes it. There are no known treatments to prevent it.

Diabetes is a debilitating disease. People with it die sooner and often have a seriously reduced quality of life[0]. Using some Insulin based medicine may help with some of the symptoms, but it is not not always really available to the patients [1].

Diabetes is a serious issue to which we should spend more attention. Especially we need a lot more research on how to prevent it.

[0] I know some people that have had parts of their legs amputated because of diabetes.

[1] This is true for many people in developing countries, but also for many people in the US.

What I'm about to say is just hypothetical, I know basically nothing about medicine.
Suppose that seizures at one point didn't have an influence on the probability of seizures later. Then, that seems to me like it would mean that seizures were a kind of independent point process?

Like, suppose there's a model where, depending on a person's genetics, age, and, idk, let's say diet, predicts a given rate of seizures, and also that this rate varies continuously with age.
In such a model, I don't think we would tend to see something where a person has no seizures until a certain point in their life, and then subsequently begins to have them at roughly a given rate for some period of time, but it would seem compatible with the "seizures causing seizures" idea.
Note: I am not claiming that this is what the data actually shows. I have no idea.

But, on the other hand, if there were some other invisible property which can at some random point change from state A to state B, and in state B seizures are more common, but seizures don't influence whether in state A or in state B, I'm not sure you could distinguish that from the "seizures cause more seizures" idea?

But, if the causal influence wasn't just "have they ever had a seizure", but instead all seizures had an impact on chance of seizure in the near future, then I think that would have statistical effects?

tl;dr: I don't know what I'm talking about, but I suspect you could at least in principle distinguish the two models using some statistical properties.
We can't even design water pipes and valves that don't degrade over time. Limescale builds up and clogs the works. There's only a tiny amount of minerals in water, and yet that happens. Blood -- as they say -- is much thicker than water, and contains components specifically designed to clot. It's not wonder that this is a tricky problem to solve.

This isn't a criticism - I'm just curious to hear people's thoughts on this. When I look at this code, one of my initial reactions is that it does not seem to be very thoroughly tested. Sure, certain modules have been tested (e.g. `model.quat_affine`) but it's not clear how completely. Meanwhile, other modules, for example `model.folding`, have not been tested at all, despite containing large amounts of complex logic. That kind of code that works with arrays is very easy to get wrong and bugs are difficult to spot.

My experience working with code written by researchers is that it frequently contains a large number of bugs, which brings the whole project into question. I've also found that encouraging them to write tests greatly improves the situation. Additionally, when they get the hang of testing they often come to enjoy it, because it gives them a way to work on the code without running the entire pipeline (which is a very slow feedback loop). It also gives them confidence that a change hasn't lead to a subtle bug somewhere.

Again, I'm not criticising. I am aware that there are many ways to produce high quality software and Google/DeepMind have a good reputation for their standards around code review, testing etc. I am, however, interested to understand how the team that wrote this think about and ensure accuracy.

In general, I hope that testing and code review become a central part of the peer review process for this kind of work. Without it, I don't think we can trust results. We wouldn't accept mathematical proofs that contained errors, so why would we accept programs that are full of bugs?
