amd64 is going to lose to arm64. arm64 is significantly cheaper in a server context.
one of the best accelerants for science would be empowering non-researchers like you to hire researchers to conduct experiments like this -- or ideally conduct experiments yourself.

equipment, material, and people costs are prohibitively high for now. hopefully one day.
“Google Search ended support for IE11 in its main product”
I know someone who has some pretty famous android/ios apps that are making him quite a good chunk of money. He pushes strongly to hide his identity because he lives here in Mexico and being known for having money/success is a recipe to get mugged or kidnapped.

I know I would do the same if I was in his position.
I learned in the first few weeks of primary school. Most students achieved literacy in the same time frame, a few months at most for the slower kids.
I was taught that unless you are really really sure that there is no impediments and/or cliffs to either side of you, to hit it straight on, and only to dodge if you were sure you could make it.

Of course, they also said to break as much as possible but hit it straight on. You would total the car, but cars are designed for that, versus your body not being able to take a deer going through the windshield if you clip it on the side. The engine block is padding, use it.

Looking at the video, it looks exactly like the videos of horrible car crashes I saw in school (less blood). As usual with Tesla, the headlines are sensational, the hacker news comments breathless, but it's a fairly straight forward physics and recognition problem. 300+ people die a year, and billions of dollars in cars are destroyed each year. A neural network mimics the way human brains work. If a animal goes in a unexpected direction (or if it wasn't recognized at all), its going to be a problem.
As I understand it, the purpose of ABS is to let you slam on your brakes and NOT swerve. If your wheels lock up then you lose all steering authority. ABS lets you slam your brake to the floor and still be able to keep your car on the road using the steering wheel. If your car doesn't have ABS, then you should know that and know to "pump your brakes" instead, to maintain control of the car.

If a child jumped in front of my car, I'd swerve even if that meant risking a tree. If I ran over a child I don't know that I'd be able to live with myself anyway, so the choice is clear: I risk myself to improve the odds of the child making it away unscathed. But a deer? No way in hell. I'll slam on the brakes, since my car has ABS, but I would not take my chances with swerving.
I don't see a clear value for them doing so. That's the almost purely time and money-unrelated reason I see.

What's more, as far as I know, it's not their expertise area, they outsource this kind of work (architecture and cpu design), so if they had to develop their own architecture or CPU, relying on work from other companies with this expertise would probably lead to better results (for cheaper), for instance for a very specialized kind of work that would be more efficient with a specialized architecture.

And yes, that would probably be very time-consuming and cost a lost of money and that alone is probably a big reason for not doing it, especially if there is no clear need for it.

They probably would if they both had the expertise to do so and they were in a situation where developing a new architecture and CPU from scratch would allow them to save a lot of money.

For general workloads, they are probably just better off using a widespread architecture to leverage existing tools and ecosystems.

And maybe they actually do for internal stuff without us knowing, but that does not seem very likely.
They particularly mention certain brain and colon cancers. But that is just an artifact of specialization in the researchers. It is likely that some of the cancers that affect any body part exhibit the same phenomenon.
> a force like the Taliban

so now that the us couldnt beat them we promoted them to the status of a … “force”? illiterate, barefoot, malnourished, lacking an economy, and education, the taliban are now a “force” op thinks.

> formed in Pakistan

yeah mighty Pakistan, the country with a thriving economy and the mightiest tech innovation machine

> winning a war and sustaining occupation

the caliban simply moved from place a to place b and waited it out

it’d much more beneficial to admit defeat and learn from it. there is no amount of tech that can wash the shame away and hide the fact that the us has been loosing wars despite trillions and gazzilions of dollars invested in useless tech. as the would be dictator of the us would put it: sounds good, doesn't work. the us lost to illiterate barefoot folk hiding in caves. period.
Yeah, I don't think much matters or can be done at the federal level. One can be tough on crime, another lenient on crime, but it doesn't make a ton of difference because cities and states tend to do what they want.

There was a definitive villainization and backing off of police nationwide that corresponds with the rise in crime. A lack of police action, coupled with COVID stressors, is a recipe for rising crime.
The increase looks to me like a very small bump in comparison to the whole decade:

https://dataunodc.un.org/content/data/homicide/homicide-rate

During that time incarceration rate was mostly flat or slightly rising, so no.
There are perfectly reasonable arguments for enshrining the right to decent housing in law, such that everyone would be entitled to it.
Like a mental institution? Those have gone out of fashion since they were meanie with no alternative to offer for the ill. I don't buy that providing housing would solve the homeless crisis.
> I've never driven into one, though once one slammed into the side of my car.

Clearly you weren't using your brakes timely.

Seriously, I don't get the 'holier than thou' attitude here and in other comments when it's clear that even you did not manage to avoid all close encounters with deer. The deer that hit your car in the side could have just as easily ended up in front and you'd have been unable to avoid it. This stuff simply happens and it is obvious that in some cases the driver isn't at fault but the deer is, unfortunately they aren't quite smart enough to understand the situation enough to keep themselves safe. So we humans will do what we can, but accidents can and will happen.
Autopilot is just poor quality. Period. If it can't even try to avoid a deer like this, it's bad software (and hardware). What should Tesla do? Make better software and hardware, and not let people pay for it and use it until it is good. This isn't early access to a Steam game but that's how Musk seems to treat it. But then again he has stock and reputation making it a one way road; there's no going back now.

That leaves it to consumers and regulators. As consumers we can stop getting caught up in Musk's persona, and stop buying a dangerous product. And regulators should start doing their job for the first time in many years.
This is going to sound crazy but I remember articles like this but about an inevitable pandemic just prior to a bunch of governments suddenly declaring a pandemic and drastically flipping society upside down in harsh ways that were not at all symptoms of an actual virus.

I’m not optimistic that a supply chain crisis which “blows the global economy off course” wouldn’t be caused by some terrible attempts by governments to “get ahead of” the impacts of a supply chain crisis.
You should watch the scene from American History X before you use the word "curbstomp" again.
But cars don't even need chips. Cars worked just fine for 70 years without chips. I don't get it.
Same, though I don't run an AD domain (you can still use gpedit.msc on a local machine). I'm also considering turning off my TPM in case Microsoft screws up the roll-out, intentionally or not.
> But Apple, Google, and Amazon are now creating their own ARM CPUs for their own products

Oracle too, whose CPU's btw are ~20% faster than aws graviton2.
Looks like they use Ampere Altras.
This is one of those cases where cameras alone simply don't cut it, other manufacturers add LIDAR for a reason: it works well when the cameras do not.
Honestly, I disagree. A human could've spotted the deer from far away and could've made the decision to slow down or stop so that the deer could cross safely.

When there are other cars around or when the animal would've jumped in front of the car before you could react, I'd say the driver can't be blamed for hitting the animal because there was no reasonably alternative. In this case, breaking and turning on the hazards would've been a perfectly fine solution. This deer didn't have to die and a human driver could've (should've) avoided a collision.

The deer is just an example of the system failing, though. It shows that Tesla's wannabe-self driving is incapable of dealing with animals near the road. A small deer like this could be hit safely, but when a car doesn't try to break for something bigger and heavier, people could easily die. You run over birds and bunnies, but don't even try to drive through a horse. That thing is going straight through your windshield when you hit it, so you'd better risk getting rear-ended when a runaway horse walks onto the road. You're going to need one of those death mobiles like a Cybertruck that doesn't do those fancy "crumple zones" or "safety glass" to make it through anything larger than an adult boar without risking a crash, so any full self-driving system should be able to anticipate large animals near the road (or shut down in areas where large animals are known to cross roads).
"No policies we have tried or are collectively willing to try will stamp it out" is the accurate version of your ending statement, whether talking about drugs or insider trading. It's unreasonable to rule out every policy as only an infinitesimal portion have been explored. How best to organize humanity might be the least solvable and most open ended problem conceivable, one worthy of a multiverse scale simulation. We can't make solid predictions about what inputs lead to what outcomes.
Species-wide conclusions about the impossibility of ending some specific immoral behavior depend on an expectation of irrationality from people, that they're unable to abandon the status quo.
If you know all that, I think you'll probably understand how yield farming works better than I!
FWIW I think the only way hackers learn this stuff is by reading and then one day going "Huh I understand CPU caches [or similar]".

It isn't forbidden knowledge by any means, so just follow your curiosity and see where it takes you.

For interfaces, I would maybe start with something like the art of electronics just for the basics.

If I want to understand the basics of some bus or whatever, I usually do some tactical googling alongside terms like "FPGA" to see what comes up so I don't have to make sense of a 150000 page spec.
There was a study showing that bilingual people have a small but measurable advantage. Apparently, learning a second language helps lock in the concept that words are just arbitrary noises, accidents of history used as mere labels.

I regularly have debates with people speaking only English that conflate words with the meaning of the words. E.g.: they think that because a word or phrase has a certain root or structure, it implies something about the subject that it is describing.

For the same reason, being bilingual has a small positive effect for learning programming. It helps with the notion that variable names are just labels and it doesn't matter what specific sequence of letters they contain, the compiler doesn't care.

Obviously, none of this is special or unique to Hungarian. Knowing any two languages would have this effect...
There is money to be made running private prisons - the fact is that there will without a doubt be a very strong pro-incarceration lobby in the US that will be highly successful at pushing an agenda which profits them.
SpaceX is definitely pushing the use of off the shelf components, and good on them, but things will probably be different when they are building rockets that they expect to keep in service for ten years.
Perhaps you should watch the video I linked
For all the hate on private prisons (despite constituting only 8.1% of the US prison population), there seems to be surprisingly little hate for prison guard unions.
The hard part of modern warfare is only killing the people you intend to kill. If you are fine with collateral damage you can just send in the nuclear weapons. The desire to kill an individual may end the world but the mission is accomplished either way.
Thats only part of the problem. If you swerve and don't hit it straight on, you are likely to hit someplace where the engine block doesn't give you as much padding. You car will be totaled and have a bad day if you hit a large buck head on. You and/or your passenger will be dead if it comes through the windshield or side window glass.
Two Weeks Later: Finding and Eliminating Long Tail Latencies
I don't see a future where a single bullet should be allowed to be fired without a human in the loop. It is true that even with humans in the loop, lots of mistakes have been made in the past. But machines should be made to prove themselves before they are given the autonomy.

There is always hope that machines, once fully autonomous, will be better at making certain judgements than humans and maybe the world would be a better place for it.
Cool. Kinda like the forever war, where battle AI figured out how to deploy future warriors against an alien horde.
Statistically speaking I'd say those numbers more than warrant further investigation.
Hmm ZeroHedge on HN. A half-step away from Infowars or Natural News.
I wouldn't be surprised if, like the self-driving Uber system that killed a pedestrian[1], Tesla's Autopilot is programmed to ignore some detected objects and obstacles in order to have a "smoother" ride.

Blame the EPA, California for more aggressive pollution and economy standards. You could still build a 1970s car today without chips, you just couldn’t sell it.
Definitely yes. From a safe distance, out of sight & sound.

Nothing in the above suggested that wasn't going to happen though, so the question feels a bit deliberately point-making-for-points-y.
Yes, if you're really homeless, I would like to help you find a home.
If you are not homeless then you won’t be facing all that danger from attackers, go to the emergency room or be busted and jailed for some NIMBY laws to get the homeless out.
Nope dont mix Science and activism. Activism already has a set goal in mind. Science is about the method to reach the truth.
Yeah, sorry. I understand it is your project. Kudos for making it and showing it to the outside world! Tiny RSS needs some competition. One of the reasons you publish the open source project is so that people can find bugs. Sometimes bugs are going to be in the name. Keep hacking!
Aircraft pilots - especially those who fly jets with auto-landing features - are exceptionally well trained and paid to keep that attention and skill sharp. And that’s not counting their backup - the co-pilots - who are typically just as well trained and compensated as the lead pilots.

I highly doubt Tesla will start putting drivers through several hundreds of hours of training every year (let alone pay them 6/7 figure salaries) to have properly safe and trained drivers in their cars.
Isn’t this those copycats that they mention in their article? They talk about copying ad ids, but maybe it’s just the whole game?
>A trustless model in which the tower can provide a connection, know the relevant endpoint location on the tower hardware only

but doesn't that mean you can still pinpoint people at the cell level? With cells being smaller in 5g networks, the problem is going to get worse.
The UK upper class is remarkably educated and unintelligent in my opinion. You meet lots of people in the UK in some strata of society who went to Oxford yet have never really been taught how to think.

UK research also appears to have largely fallen behind world leaders - see mRNA research coming from Germany/US yet the UK having no native knowledgebase of mRNA I know of and producing one of the weakest of the COVID vaccines.
Indeed. I’d love to better understand why it’s so hard not to side with the baddies every single time.

The best thing that comes out of this is that it’s easy to pinpoint the Nazis because they are the ones in power.
Like one of the GP comments said,

>* "Your brain cannot turn off habituation'

The entire argument falls apart, and quickly. If the statement 'its the drivers responsibility' relies on us completely ignoring human behaviours and patterns.

People are falliable, and encouraging people to not concentrate and put trust into auto-pilot, and knowing with every kilometre travelled. People concentrate less and less. Who is at fault when the car misbehaves and breaks away from expected behaviours?
No, don't! For as bad as Google is being, Apple is being worse on basically every axis.
Soo... I'm an idiot. Heads up for other people: this contains a video of a car killing a deer.
It would be nice if Nancy Pelosi were not the classic strawman here. I don't excuse her behavior either but it's totally legal for now and there are so much worse out there.

Yet they never come up it's always Nancy Pelosi and that's just creatively bankrupt. So here are 36 more...

ASML's monopoly on EUV tools, and their high cost, long lead times and low number of units shipped per year are probably the most significant limitation for leading-edge logic fabrication nodes. But even once you have one or two NXE:3400 tools, you still need at least a few years of R&D before you can get to commercially viable manufacturing of sub-7nm chips. (For example, TSMC developed their own pellicles for EUV rather than relying on ASML for that component.)
The taskbar being centered actually can make sense if you've ever used an ultrawide, or super ultrawide monitor. I use two vertically stacked 49" monitors but wouldn't keep it centered though; I actually hide it and only show it when I press the Win key, using a bunch of third-party programs that won't work with the rewritten XAML Island-based taskbar.

But making it the default setting is wrong IMO. I feel the new taskbar is clearly an attempt at copying MacOS's awful dock, replete with forced grouping and a small indicator below the icon to show which app is currently running.
It costs more to police and imprison people than it does to provide the social services (housing, food, medical care, transportation, dignity) that would keep people from harming society.

Back when breaking bad was on the air there was a commonly repeated joke about "canadian breaking bad" where Walter White gets diagnosed with cancer and then gets treatment and never cooks meth. But it's not just a joke, it's real. And yet for a wide variety of reasons (many of which are incentivized by business) people would rather spend money to enforce and punish than to help and prevent.
It took me about 3-4 separate attempts over the last 15 years to get music, and only this last couple of years I was finally able to crack the music notation, music theory, and music production nut. I'm by no means pro-level, but I can follow along and have a mostly intelligent conversation about anything musical and audio-related now, and also put out my own tracks that are based on this shockingly broad set of concepts that you can pick up as you're learning the world of music.

I had to attack this from every possible angle because I had practically the same experience as you. What ultimately worked for me was a combination of a piano teacher, going through the Adult Piano books, doing a few music production programs (including some online university ones) and surrounding myself (virtually) with people writing music regularly. Eventually, although through many ups and downs, it all made sense.

IMO the hardest part is having to scale the massive wall of terminology and basic concepts you have to grasp in order to speak music theory. Notes, durations, keys, chords, intervals, scales, modes, music notation, meter, various modifiers you would find on a sheet of music, etc.. in addition to being able to actually play those physically in the real world... It's a ton. You don't need any of it to actually write music that people will like, but if you want to feel like you can at least communicate about it to other humans, it really helps.
How many people are employed by Google as of 2021? This company has got to be huge, yet we always just say "Google" as if it's a few people.
That's not why people enter the race, in my experience.

I remember years back talking to friends and people I knew who all said things like 'think of the data we're collecting' - nobody thought about asking the end user if they wanted that data collected.

It's not about 'oh no, I have to spy on my users;' the users aren't considered at all. If they are, there are patterns built to prevent them noticing and limit liability. It's pretty vile.

Ethically, you should only try collect the data you reasonably believe your users would be ok with you collecting if they knew as much as you did about what a bad actor could do with it, and you should ask them first.
Agreed. The deer I hit lept out of a ditch that I couldn't see into, on an unfamiliar highway, and landed less than a car-length in front of my car. About 10 miles later, I drove my blood/hair/shit-encrusted car past a "deer area" sign. Thanks...
Off the top of my head: tailors embroider the clothing they make for customers and luxury clothing companies like Luis Vuitton engrave the customer's name or a message on products like wallets. IIRC even Apple used to engrave custom messages on some of their products for free.
The page you linked says there were 48.68 billion SMS in 2020. Averaged across the population, that's on the order of 800-900 messages per person per year. Even if the actual SMS usage demographics skews older (quite likely), it's still likely that most people send at least one text per day, maybe more.

Given that the original claim was that "no-one uses SMS anymore", I think that's still demonstrably false. Your milder claim - "rare to find anyone under 60 who uses SMS as their primary messaging system" - seems likely to be true.
The biggest story that the mainstream American media won't report on, and actually runs cover for, is agencies like the FBI using early-2000s anti-Muslim "terrorism" and MK-Ultra tactics to manufacture a "domestic terror" threat to both vilify anyone with dissident opinions as well as justify further privacy violations of US citizens.

They go after vulnerable people like schizophrenics and wholesale devise terror plots, motives, and means and convince the vulnerable person to go along with it. These are people who would have no inclination or means for terrorism in the first place. And in a recent case the FBI paid the leader of a satanic pedophile cult to take over another organization and use drugs and brainwashing to entrap its young members.

There is no reason to think the US government wouldn't turn technology talked about in this article against its own citizens if it was deemed necessary. It's clear that the American government sees its own citizens as a threat.
Aren’t most rockets, outside of SpaceX’s ones that can land after launching, single use? Then keeping the same rocket going for 10 years would be a problem unique to spaceX unless we count the space shuttle?
Machines have been doing some of the thinking for a while.

Many armed forces use software that simulates combat in order to save money in military exercises.

In the event of war, plans based on those simulations are used.
