Huh, makes sense. I didn't realize there could be more than one title. Thanks for the clarification.
That always irks me about review sites.Anand and Toms hardware do similar things with hardware benchmarks. I understand that use cases and workloads change overtime so you need to change up your test methodology but there always seems to be a lack of continuity and instead an abrupt change over.

I progressively upgrade my gaming rig and my video card is from the stone age (2017), when I eventually get around to upgrading I won't be able to compare it to newer cards.

I'd like to see review sites progressively update their tests so you can at least track progress by comparing A to B to C to D even if you can't directly compare A to D.
Are Vaccinations Our Way Out of This Pandemic?
I first joined facebook in 2009, but have been on the internet since 1991.

You might counter that facebook only started in 2004, and didn't get much traction until 2006. But I was invited before that and simply didn't care to join, preferring to occupy other parts of the `net.

Likewise, Clovis artifacts all date from after the peak of the last ice age, when glaciers were melting, land routes were opening, and sea levels were rising to obliterate any coastal artifacts from any previous waves of migration.

Clovis-first has been debunked for decades. This is just another - particularly solid - nail in that theory's coffin. It is worth asking why it has persisted so doggedly. I don't think it is because archeologists aren't very smart people.
So this whole thing is just a push for Right to Repair laws?

I get that most hardware companies want to go full John Deere/Apple on this, but that's an issue with the hardware/software integration. An iPhone is made of the same general components as any other phone, but the special sauce is the easy of use from the software for many consumers.

I don't think most people actually want a 10 year phone, the same way most people don't want to drive a functional but utilitarian car. They want a name brand that reflects their values, and most people don't value being able to cheaply and efficiently fix things. If they did, we wouldn't have had the same erosion of R2R.

That said, this page pissed me off massively because I do like this stuff (We grow herbs/veggies, repair/mend our clothes, usually cook our own meals) and this was a set up for a fucking lobbying campaign on a continent I don't reside on. When I see groups like this supporting causes I also support I usually warn people AWAY from them and towards other, less "clever" people attempting to address the issue without these tactics.
> Each time one of these phones is made, it creates between 40 and 80kgs of CO2 (the same as a 3 hour drive).

Is that compelling to anyone? If you asked me to trade my new phone for a 9 year old phone, and in exchange I am allowed to drive for 3 hours, I would keep my current phone. I'd probably give up driving for a week for a phone that's just a year newer.
First that's like saying a bar that gives away drinks with every bag of peanuts isn't selling alcohol. The fact that ad was only shown to a specific demographic reveals that the person clicking it is in that demographic.

But second, sure they didn't sell it, they gave it away. Facebook claims the data delivered to Cambridge Analytica wasn't sold. No, it was given away because facebook calculates that it benefits from research which improves targeting on their platform. Nobody is fooled by any of this, unless they choose to be.
An internet commenter is less likely to be successfully sued than Facebook, because it is easier to argue that Stossel suffered reputational damage from an incorrect statement by Facebook, compared to an unspecific insult from a random individual.

I don’t think I’d have a philosophical problem with throwing both synchronously and asynchronously when using async/await. After all, the act itself of queuing some work with a possible future result does seem like something that can fail. But the dotnet team (or c# compiler team, not sure) helped devs out by promising not to throw on the queuing the work bit when using async/await, and only throw at the point where the result should ordinarily be ready.

If you don’t use async/await, then I’m not sure how else they can help. By returning a task without async, the dev claims that they’re smart enough to safely kick off some async work and possibly provide a result later. But in the act of kicking off the work, you break?

Thanks for sharing. I'm really curious about what that experience is like for someone who has hard time visualising things.

This absolutely is not the case, as any collateralize loans require you to transfer custody to a 3rd party making the loan.

Otherwise, you could just steal the coins straight after handing over the private keys. And even if that wasn't the case, the loaner will want exclusive control and move them to another key they control anyway.

If it was a loan, you would have blockchain records of movement of Satoshi coins. This can be proven not to be the case, and so we can be quite confident there was no loans to Satoshi.
What you're referring to is the theory. What you're replying to is the reality. Communism as implemented always results in an upper class and "everybody else". This was true for the Soviet Union, is true for China, and is true for Cuba.
Keep in mind that the real goal here was to "test scalable alignment techniques", and OpenAI ended up adopting "recursive task decomposition".

That is basically a "divide and conquer" approach for simultaneously learning a complex task *and* allowing humans to evaluate it.

> To test scalable alignment techniques, we trained a model to summarize entire books. [...] This work is part of our ongoing research into aligning advanced AI systems, which is key to our mission. As we train our models to do increasingly complex tasks, making informed evaluations of the models’ outputs will become increasingly difficult for humans. [...] Our progress on book summarization is the first large-scale empirical work on scaling alignment techniques.
Smartphone for 10 years seems like a bit of a stretch. The technology is evolving exponentially. iPhone is only 13 years old (the phone which popularised smartphones around the world) and I‘m pretty sure in 10 years we would be using something totally different than a smartphone as its replacement. I really don‘t understand why would want to use the same phone for 10 years.

Further, this would be a nightmare to developers when it comes to supporting the software for the phone. They would definitely reach a point where introducing new features are arduous due to tight requirement of backward compatibility.
The challenging part about equity that every company is different, takes bit different path and has different chances of success.

My anecdotal example that I don't know anyone who made massive/post-economic money by joining a public company. You can probably make six figures easily, and potentially low 7 figures in some years. The only people I know who have mode 8 or 9 figures are people who have joined startups early or relatively early before the IPO, and the startup became a $20-100B company.

Seed stage, as one of the first senior engineers, you might get 2%-0.5% equity. At $20M valuation (common YC valuation at the moment). That's $400k-100k value vesting over 4 years (which might sound low compared to FAANG offers). The point is the upside potential, not the value. FAANG companies might grow 5x in 5 years. Startups can grow much more. That's why the whole VC market exists.

Hitting $1B means the company valuation went up 50x, hitting $10B means 500x, hitting $100B means 5000x. So your initial offer could be worth several millions to hundreds of millions. Even if you join later, when the company is valued $500M-$1B, you might still get 50-100x upside.

The math is more complicated since usually companies raise multiple rounds which then dilutes the existing shareholders. Roughly 20% at seed/series a, and then less after that.

Good points.
(b) The actual data (jpeg, mp4, 3d mobdel, etc) is usually stored on a system like https://ipfs.io and not on the NFT chain itself.
(a) I think the optimal solution would be that it is in the interest of publishers to have their assets used in other projects. This would give them more value, and the NFT creator usually charges a transaction fee on their assets (every time something is sold on the secondary market, a percentage goes to the creator). Another option would be for the indie developer to assign these items to their own items. For example, AAA studio sword xy is assigned to indie game sword xy. Of course you can't manually assign zillions of NFTs, you would probably do this in tiers and I would imagine there would be services built around that. This would eliminate the IP problem as far as I know, and would just mean that owning NFT xy unlocks a feature/element in the game. This would of course be interesting for official collaborations between publishers.
Considering how hard it is to beat the market, making insider trading legal would remove much of the irrational self-confidence that almost all retail traders and investors have.

As of now the stock market is artificially inflated by retail traders who'd lose confidence in the system and move to real estate or starting their own business if insider trading were to be made legal.

Most of them would benefit from not having the constant feedback of how they are performing.

You are welcome :-).

With text we have fairly discrete and granular units, i.e. "words", and we see sentences as compositions of words. For images however, it's not so simple. We present the entire image (array of pixels times the number of channels), and all the various layers within the CNN automatically extract "discrete" units like edges, bends etc, but what we get at the end is a semantic encoding of this entire image.

But, you could in principle take the encoding of an image using e.g. VGG16 or ResNet or whatever, and then project that encoding onto randomly initialized higher-dimensional space (such as a very high dimensional Echo State Network), and then use that output in your downstream task, like classifying obstacles on the road. I suspect the same principles as what I wrote in the Jupyter Notebook would also apply here, and you will get a performance boost. Not sure if this was done already (computer vision is not really my focus) ;-)
Agree, anecdotes aren't data. But seeing non-tech-savvy people doing it definitely makes me think it's somewhat common. I posted half with the expectation that someone would chime in with some personal experience on the topic; HN has a pretty diverse group here.

I found a number of guides on the pros and cons of various international money transfers options, and BTC is often included as an option. I also found some recent (and old!) articles about its use as a remittance system in poorer areas of the world[1].

> Other emerging market central banks in Latin America, India, and Southeast Asia, where remittances make up a significant share of the economy, are in a similar bind. Bitcoin transfers surged in emerging markets last year, as the pandemic accelerated the rise of cheaper, more efficient digital remittance services.

You mean from an animal welfare perspective? There’s a fairly compelling argument that using any animal products (at least ones that require killing the animal) contributes to reduced animal welfare. Yes, cow leather is basically a biproduct of the meat industry, but the leather market makes the meat industry more profitable.
Why would you want a stock in Amazon? Why would you want a Bitcoin? Why would you want to own a Picasso painting? I don't understand how an NFT is different from any of these things.

You use your private key to verify ownership. In the digital world, this is the closet you can get to having the "original thing". You can disagree with this, but it doesnt matter because obviously the NFT market believes in this.

Some NFTs just sit there, the same way an original piece of art will just hang on a wall. However, some NFTs can have 'utility'. For example, owning one can qualify you to buy a piece that is exclusive to collectors of a particular artist. The artist can also verify holders and send out physical products. Some artists are using profits to re-invest in larger scale NFT projects as well, like virtual worlds and games.

This is interesting as it seems that platforms like Twitter and Facebook have avoided liability through Section 230 for content posted on their websites as the platform did not create the content.

However, now that they seem to be automatically "fact-checking" and/or otherwise creating content with people as subjects, the platforms may be opening the door to liability.

Yeah maybe. I don’t really know what you mean then, Because there isn’t really a “typical” physique for people that burn insane amounts of calories per day. Power lifters and marathon runners both regularly burn calories in high ranges like that yet their physiques are totally different.
And they should not. They should help themselves before anyone else. Now, there are wealthy congregation is some places and surely they have enough funds to help locals in need as well as others -that’s fine, but do it in a helpful way, don’t just send money and call it a day, and also help your people in another state of province if the locals they’re in has all their needs met. Don’t just go for “exoticism”.
It doesn't really feel to me like smartphone technology is evolving exponentially anymore. The difference between the phone I have now and the phone I had 3 years ago is very, very small compared to the phone I had 3 years ago and the one I had 6 years ago.
If I had to guess they were using the five ask a test to a) see if it would pass a cursory inspection, which it appears it didn't, and b) refine the technique. People are generally more skeptical of larger denominations (especially 100 in the US which you can sometimes get a bit of grief over when trying to use), but if someone were to notice the 5 is counterfeit somehow it's not quite as suspicious just to pay with a different (legitimate) note.
For people who had working hibernation, it may seem so.

For support staff, and for hardware & OS vendors, dealing with customers complaining about hibernation or S3 sleep not working those states were so infuriating and definitely NOT a solved problem.

Example failure modes:
— Doesn't wake when told.
— Immediately wakes instead of staying in low power state.
— Performs a cold boot when trying to wake.
— OS disables desired state with no explanation.
— OS disables desired state which has worked perfectly on that machine for month/years, and OS claims it has been disabled because it is not compatible.
TFA says that hibernation is problematic for putting your computer into your bag. I understand what you mean by hibernation, and while it should not cause a problem... that's what the link says
What are you basing that on?

There's a lot of other factors to consider... exercise and type of exercise, macronutrient breakdown, how large the surplus is, etc.

No, the US did not write the German constitution. It was written by German politicians and lawyers. The Allied forces definitely had an influence on the constitution and requested certain things to be in the constitution (human rights, federalism). But the constitution is definitely a properly "self-made" document (building on existing constitutions in other democratic states and the Weimarer Reichsverfassung).

Edit: also, it would be absolutely impossible to "simply take the German constitution and apply it to the US". To somebody who knows a bit about constitutional law that's like saying "the computer isn't working, let's just use this bicycle instead."

I'm surprised the Greenland Connect cable connects Newfoundland to Iceland by way of Greenland instead of just terminating at Greenland. I wonder how much non-Greenland through traffic the cable gets. It'd have been cheaper to skip the Greenland<->Iceland leg, right?

It's also interesting how it looks like it's easier to go around the west coast of Africa than to run cables overland across the Sahara.
It's not a Kafka trap. I'm responding to the specific rebuttal "OCaml can't be toxic because I don't find it toxic" by explaining that there are a couple of possibilities:

1. I'm wrong and OCaml's community is great OR

2. The parent doesn't find the OCaml community to be toxic because he's attracted to toxic communities

I specifically didn't say that the parent was toxic, although I think his comments (including his flagged nationalist comment) speak for themselves.

M.R. Asks 3 Questions: Brian Pontarelli, CEO of FusionAuth
Nothing really. Historically Apache HTTPD was slower than the newer web servers like NGinx when Apache HTTPD 2.2 was the mainline version. This is no longer the case with Apache 2.4 using the latest APR libraries. 2.4 has been out for a very long time, but some Linux distros were slow to uptake it.
About a decade ago nginx stormed onto the scene with event based multi-processing, and even though mpm-event became a thing not too long after that, Apache retained mpm-prefork and then mpm-worker as defaults for a very long time, and lost a lot of market share.

A lot of people still retain the notion that nginx is "just faster" or "just better" which is not necessarily the case. Apache with mpm-event is just fine for most applications.

There are other reasons to use nginx, and there are other reasons to use Apache. Both are fine, and I hear https://caddyserver.com/ is coming in hot!
So really, the problem with the news is the people reading it.
I purchased one of those 1st gen Windows on ARM laptops (HP Envy) specifically for the "instant on" / modern standby feature. It worked perfectly, just like a smartphone, until I received a major Windows update. Now it wakes slowly ruining the only good thing about that device. I've now been burned twice in a row by MS and will likely not purchase another product from them again.

It seems "Independent Fact Checkers" simply parrot whatever other mass media outlets say regardless of facts.

Facebook gets to say "look, someone else verified it", knowing that "someone else" here thinks and acts accordingly. If they don't they probably get fired and replaced.

Given that this about 2020 California fires, I suspect this had to do with Trump or someone from his administration blaming forest management. And then, naturally, most of the media made fun of that and quickly went to debunk it, including the aforementioned "Independent Fact Checkers". Had Stossel waited a year, and applied the article to the 2021 fires, the fact checkers might have given him a pass.

It's actually the case that's marked async that surprises me more. But I don't think the difference has ever mattered in code that I've written or worked with.

The reason that the non-async case makes sense to me is that I know there's usually going to be some synchronous code execution before the function I'm calling has to go async. And in that case I expect the code the executed before going async to come up the stack where I called it instead of where I'm awaiting it. And of course I expect exceptions beyond that to only be able to be retrieved when I await the task since the call stack will be rooted in the event loop after going async.
