Ironically, some of the most irrational people I know are the ones who profess to hew to rationality, to the point where, in certain circles, "rationality" has become a sort of cult. This is particularly evident in militant anti-theism (whose adherents insist that the only possible explanation for someone believing in God is that they are idiots or otherwise mentally deficient), hard-core libertarians (who, ironically, end up politically aligned with hard-core fundamentalist Christians, at least in the U.S.) and a particularly weird strain of this disease that causes people to subscribe to (and actively proselytize!) the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. It's bizarre, and unendingly frustrating. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only rational creature in the universe because, of course, none of my beliefs are anything at all like theirs.
You also need hundreds of other machines from Applied Materials, KLA Tencor, Lam Research, Tokyo Electron, etc. Then, years of process development R&D: what temperature do we bake this layer at, how long, what profile, what atmosphere in the tool… Every process step has a large parameter set to optimize. Creating a process is a painstaking many many variable optimization slog.

Just wanted to add that since I see people only mention ASML often here. They are very important, but there is so much more to TSMC’s success.
>If I want to transport music notation between software programs, I have MIDI for that, which does a good job of capturing all elements of a performance (keys, timing, velocity, pedals, aftertouch, etc.) These types of notation formats almost always fail to achieve MIDIs precision across all the aspects of a performance.

Music notation works at a higher level of abstraction than that, and is intended to be intelligible by humans first and foremost.

That’s not how it works. Democracy isn’t something you can gift like Prometheus giving humans fire. It’s something that must rest on a society’s cultural foundation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Future_of_Freedom

Britain dropped some criminals in Australia and they created a prosperous democracy. Because the people had a millennium of cultural development under its belt to support democracy. Meanwhile democracy has failed in Iraq and Afghanistan despite massive US support.

In my home country of Bangladesh, we’ve had civilization for over a thousand years. The British spent 200 years in the country building institutions and culture. We have a lovely constitution. And even then we can’t maintain democracy. We’re basically back to a one party state now. The Afghans have never even had a real national government of their own. Their society is at a feudal stage of development. It’s like trying to bring democracy to England circa 600 AD.

That’s true for arbitrary graphs, but I don’t believe it’s practically relevant here any more than the fact that I can’t compute the first 10000 digits of pi in my head is. We are much worse than our computational limits.

The Magna Carta not only singled out Jews, but also benefited a very very small part of the population of that time - according to some scholars as little as 10 people in England! Other scholars disagree on the figure but it is clear that most of the population was not included, by far.

The Magna Carta was the birth certificate of what today we call the one percent. I do not think we should celebrate.

Not the author, but a big fan of these kind of projects, which fall into a much larger community known as "Live Coding" (though it also applies to other creative persuits as well, music is probably the most common).

If the piano roll works for you, chances are these kinds of things won't. For me personally, the piano roll has never worked. Whilst I'm still trying to find my place within live coding, I've found trackers (especially Renoise) to be the best for me for the time being.

Where these projects really excel though is in algorithmic composition and generative music (modular synthesis is also quite well known for this), so rather than telling the computer exactly what to play and when, you define the rules and tweak them to change the results.

Of course they can also be used for a more traditional style of music as well, its simply another form of writing music for computers. Some people (most people) find the piano roll works for them, others prefer trackers and sequencers, others prefer code. Its purely preference at that point

The U.S. did spend sort of a lot of money in attempts to develop infrastructure and industry in Afghanistan. But it mostly achieved nothing because of the widespread corruption (both of Americans and afghans) and lack of an overall plan that made any sense (as you noted).

Here’s a report on what $500 million to develop mining achieved: https://www.sigar.mil/pdf/audits/SIGAR-16-11-AR.pdf

There are probably something like hundreds of these reports, all with similar conclusions - spent a ton of money, didn’t really achieve anything meaningful, made some crooks richer, and the taliban either a profits from what little was achieved (for “protection services” and such) or just blows it up.

We can dream that this could have been better, but I’m unconvinced that the US in the 21st century is capable of achieving any different outcome.
I've never talked about this project online, so this comment really does mean a great deal to me. See my comment to another reply in this thread: but I have a great deal of excitement about this topic.

The sunk cost fallacy is particularly important to learn about and teach your children about.

Ask HN: What's Wrong with Penny Pinching?
I just read this: 'The Rich Don't Penny Pinch', by Sean McClure[0]

My take from it is that: life is so complex, that short term tasks to improve the future are fruitless long term since life is so complex and the future is opaque, so you're going to be fighting entropy anyway, so why bother doing 'penny pinching'?

I'm not sure I buy his philosophy though? I still use coupons, and my grocery shop is always a strict budget and I make use of special offers, as well as living frugally with all that that entails.

So: do you agree with Sean? Should we NOT penny pinch?

There were stories in Germany reporting that if you wore a face mask when driving, you must not also be wearing sunglasses and/or a hat ... because the driver's face must be recognisable if you're caught by a speed camera.
I couldn't have put it better myself. I always felt like the netscape throbbers[0] really captured the mysteriousness and wonder of what it felt like to navigate the early web.

jwz's favorite throbber (also my favorite) captured this feeling particularly well since it is literally an animated compass[1].

I actually got really into the history of browser throbbers back when I was in college — I ended up archiving all I could find from the mozilla ftp and internet archive[2].

While I used to maintain an SeaMonkey (Mozilla Suite) xpfe complete theme with a properly animated throbber, I actually still use the jwz throbber through my unfinished xpfe userChrome.css in Firefox to this day.

Sadly, there are no css dynamic css classes above the #PanelUI-menu-button element in chrome://browser/content/browser.xhtml, so it's not possible to properly animate it without javascript; for now, it animates when you hover over it.

What I think this is trying to do is to put music composition at the reach of people who are used to REPLs and programming languages in general. But I agree with you that it is questionable if any of that makes any sense, since we already have fairly sophisticated software to compose music using notations that are much easier to handle (traditional staff, piano and guitar interfaces).

I seems the Mach-E is the most sold model across the board, not just among Mustangs based on this article.

Fun fact: I just got back from Norway, and saw a Mach-E a week ago. Seen as it was apparently just released there "weeks ago", it must have been one of the first in the country.
I'm sure I don't understand a lot of the ins and outs of the situation in Kabul, but it does seem weird that they pulled out all the military first and left over a thousand embassy staff there. And now they've sent some different military back in to get them.

I mean sure, the speed of the takeover seems like it took people by surprise, but surely the civilians and non-combat military gradually leave and the combat troops are last out providing security, even if the Taliban advance is slow?

Edit: Or were they planning to leave the embassy open?

Surely this is only a security risk if antigravity is imported?

What cause would there be to import antigravity in a CGI service – or anything other than a terminal in which you could already execute arbitrary code?

I am struggling to understand, even with the proof of concept, how the situation could arise where an attacker could realistically exploit this, based largely on the uselessness of the antigravity module.
Hi! Thank you! Yes, startups especially benefit from being both fast and cost-effective with us. When we just get into YC community a few months ago, our revenue naturally grew by 193% and the team grew from 15 to 50 just because of startups being around.

I read the article and could not believe that was their takeaway. sometimes people are determined to vindicate their technology choices, no matter what.
We're using SwiftUI and WebKit features that were added quite recently (MacOS doesn't get nearly as much love from Apple as iOS). This keeps our product iteration cycle quite high, and the worry is having to implement cumbersome solutions if supporting previous OSs.

I'll have to look into it again to see if I can go back just a bit maybe and assess how much time it would take to support those versions.

We're a pretty small team :)
Every bakery has a sign saying they are a bakery. You see it as you walk past. Knowing that bakeries are unique people go in and try different stuff looking for products they like. That is as far from marketing you can get. If you define that as marketing then you are in the "everything is marketing" camp and we can just stop talking right here.
If you look on a map, Iraq and Afghanistan are both border states with Iran, one on either side. Do you think that's just a coincidence?

I'm not saying either was a good idea at the time, and they were both obviously bad ideas with hindsight, but it seems there was possibly a greater strategy at play.

regardless of whether the US had a continuous military presence in west Germany, it is implausible to me that east Germany / the USSR could have taken over west germany without starting WWIII. West Germany was a NATO member state by 1955.

That’s what investors are for, ostensibly, no?

Another way to phrase this is how can you expect people to buy something at a price below it’s value?

Actually, haha, I just realized there’s an answer. Because they’ll expense it at work.
I started to type "That's not facial recognition", then deleted it...

The green box that you're describing is recognizing that _A_ face is in view of the camera. This is often used for properly adjusting focus, exposure, etc... I suppose you could call it "facial recognition", because that's exactly what it's doing. But it's fairly benign and passive. This technology exists in my DSLR cameras that have no network connection and do not save any facial data anywhere in the image.

But then there is facial recognition that knows who you are, it's connected to a network, and it logs where you go - and these back-end systems correlate this data with other data that's been collected about you. Systems that know who you are are what is generally meant when discussing "facial recognition".

This article doesn't say.
There's zero Tesla hate here and certainly zero EV hate here, on the contrary: I just feel the interior build quality on the Tesla could be a bit better but I'm sure they'll get there.

I wouldn't want my, strangely enough upvoted a lot, comment, to be mistaken for Tesla hate. I like what they're doing. I just think the auto-pilot shouldn't give a false sense of security.

I was thinking about this the other day - driving in construction. The town I live in is currently doing water main replacement. So, lots of torn up roads, closed lanes and even single-lane only with a flagger alternating directions. No amount of safety cones will make it obvious what's going on.

How do automated systems deal with flaggers? Visibility of the stop/slow sign isn't sufficient to make a determination on whether it's safe to proceed (not to mention "stop" changes meaning here, entirely, from a typical stop sign). Often, whether or not you can proceed comes down to hand gestures from the flagger proper.

Not that I expect any reasonable driver to be using something like autopilot through such a situation, but we've also seen plenty of evidence that there are unreasonable drivers currently using these systems, as well.

> As I noted in the prior blog post, the Sega Master System has a tilemap that’s only 256 pixels wide, the same as the display area. Therefore, the image is slightly off-center

For anyone else for whom this made no sense, the off-center image is a tradeoff to allow for smooth horizontal scrolling when the tilemap that is used as the source for the display is the same size as the available display area. This is indeed explained in this prior post linked by the author (https://nicole.express/2021/sega-system-1-system-1.html).
