We are talking about workstations, and 4 years ago the best ones were those with ~8cores, maybe more if we consider start of the threadripper era. First gen threadripper had many issues and those were ironed out over the years. Also the performance per core increased a lot so I don't think the progress wasn't as small.

I agree that phones that are 4 years old are fine for most of the daily stuff, and even haswell PCs are still perfectly OK for the office, but this segment is a bit different and depending on the use case even earlier updates might be useful (like switching to pcie4/5 etc).

btw since I meant 4 years from now it also means that those unsupported workstations are not even new today, they could be running 2+years already, and 6 years upgrade cycle is not that bad
Does your flavor of permaculture actively preserve their lives?
My initial reaction was similar: “everyone uses Tylenol, if there was something really that bad about it, we would have seen it more”. But then someone pointed out that we have much more ADHD today than in the past and that does coincide with the more casual use of Tylenol starting in the 70s and 80s, so maybe we really are seeing the bad effects of Tylenol use during pregnancy after all.

Hey Martin,

I'm a huge fan of LogicBlox and RelationalAI, and the research done at both had a huge impact on me as an undergrad!

While you're here, could you provide some insight on why you folks went with arbitrary width tuples for your datamodel?
Limiting youself to triples seems to drastically ease the implementation of WCOJ algorithms without much loss of expressivity, and provides compatibility with existing RDF research.

E.g. in our system we materialize the 3!(6) indices required, which allows us to pick variable/intersection orderings on the fly without a planner.
It is superhard to post on HN

A person can post for 6 months and still they can't be sure about speaking their mind freely , negative karma points accumulate fast and pretty soon they'll be shadowbanned.

Once you are at -15 karma points your replies are not being seen by anybody.

Let's say you are at +60 karma points that you have accumulated in 6 months. It seems a healthy margin, but all it takes is a couple of threads in which you have controversial back and forth with other HN users and all of a sudden you can't speak your mind freely for 6 more months.

Now you have to rebuild back. Only people who post a lot and post popular content earn their right to freely speak their mind on HN.

Most people aren't willing to put up with that.

Ask HN: Bookmarklet App for iOS?
I use quite a few bookmarklets on my desktop browsers. However, bookmarklets have serious usability issues on a mobile device, if work at all.

On Android, there is the nice little app called URL Forwarder by David Laurell: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.daverix.urlforward/ that can save the day.

My question is: Is there an equivalent App on iOS that can do the same, which is to forward an URL and optionally the title, to another website with the proper encoding and formatting? A naive search on the Apple app store yield nothing.
True. I guess it's pretty much just product (or should I say "content") that we're discussing, despite all the lip service given to the idea that it's this really creative endeavor.
HN is so valuable specifically because it’s not a free-for-all. The “speak your mind” internet is substantial, but there’s a reason I don’t spend my time there.

As far as the Foreign Service experience goes, you're in a strange country where you often don't speak the language so everything is difficult. You may not be well liked, or worse, may be hated, and people may be trying to kill you. The opposition security services openly tail you wherever you go, bug your house, your telephone, and on top of that, your own CI people may be spying on you. The pressures to perform at work for Foreign Service are enormous, since (unlike the civil service), if you don't get promoted in a specific time window, you're fired. You work in a fish bowl, and cliques form mainly of effective people vs the dumb ones. It's extremely hierarchical, and if you're low on the totem pole, and you're ineffective, you're ignored and left out of the loop.

Often the security services routinely surreptitiously break into your house and rearrange shit in your fridge, or other head-fuckery, just to intimidate you, and just to show they can.

It's extremely difficult for people who aren't prepared for that environment. The ones that crack are usually civil servants overseas for the first time for domestic agencies like IRS, Social Security, FBI, Commerce, etc. Most larger embassies and consulates have a State Department shrink working there, for good reason. People lose their shit all the time. It's not particularly rare.

Additionally, in the more difficult countries, you are essentially living with the people you work with. That can induce some particularly cruel claustrophobia.

So, it's no wonder people are driven mad, either by each other, the environment or just crickets.

> Yet a relational database in 5th normal form is equivalent to a RDF-Like first order Triple graph.

Not quite. The definition of 5NF depends on real-world constraints on valid combinations of attributes in the database; it has nothing to do with any pre-defined data model such as RDF. There can be "wide", horizontally-modeled tables (quite unlike the RDF model) which are in 5NF simply because no real-world constraints apply to the data beyond those that are implied by the candidate keys.

A bit tangential, does anyone here have any thoughts/comments/reviews about the Nura[0] headphones?

From what I understand, they put a microphone next to the speaker to measure your ear’s response to sound. Based on that, a companion software builds a personalized sound profile, which then allows the headphones to auto-equalize the sound to the specifics of your ears.

Do they make a big difference? Are they worth it? How do they compare to other headphones?

Differentiating DLL and SO hell is getting a bit beyond pedantic as they are implementations of the same fundamental abstraction. Any substantial difference in merely one of implementation details.
The problem is economists who say things in the public sphere are heavily scrutinized and criticised and feel the need to 'prove' their theories. Also, because of the pay factor, many great economists go make millions working for banks and hedge funds. Economists know, economics can predict it, but for reasons, it doesn't end up as public knowledge.
> conjectured that kernel_task CPU usage is related to it doing some sort of throttling

Well it’s definitely doing some different thermal management depending on the port side you use. And performance definitely differs between those cases. Whether it’s technically throttling is kind of immaterial to whether this solution is meaningfully useful, in my opinion.
I worked with a hierarchical database system in the late 80s. Nightmare. <g>
In art, there’s always been a difference between the significance of “having sex” and that of “having breakfast.”
This exact debate took place in the early 70s. There were three major database models: relational, network, and hierarchical. Network and hierarchical had quite a bit of success, technically and as businesses. IMS was (is?) an IBM product based on the hierarchical model.

Network databases, which seem quite similar to graph databases, were standardized (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CODASYL).

Both the hierarchical and network models had low-level query languages, in which you were navigating through the hierarchical or network structures.

Then the relational model was proposed in 1970, in Codd's famous paper. The genius of it was in proposing a mathematical model that was conceptually simple, conceivably practical, and it supported a high-level querying approach. (Actually two of them, relational algebra and relational calculus.) He left the little matter of implementation as an exercise to the reader, and so began many years of research into data structures and algorithms, query processing, query optimization, and transaction processing, to make the whole thing practical. And when these systems started showing practical promise (early 80s?), the network model withered away quickly.

Ignoring the fact that relational databases and SQL are permanently entrenched, an alternative database technology cannot succeed unless it also supports a high-level query language. The advantages of such a language are just overwhelming.

But another factor is that all of the hard database research and implementation problems have been solved in the context of relational database systems. You want to spring your new database technology on the world, because of its unique secret sauce? It isn't going anywhere until it has a high-level query language (including SQL support), query optimization, internationalization, ACID transactions, blob types, backup and recovery, replication, integration with all the major programming languages, scales with memory and CPUs, ...

(Source: cofounder of two startups creating databases with secret sauces.)
That's a different point. People don't show "normal" sex in movies for the same reasons they don't show people eating, going to the toilet and that sort of stuff.
> They sell hundreds of millions of devices each year. A problem I haven’t seen discussed much — could Apple’s suppliers actually deliver enough parts for new phones and spare parts?

Since they already sell hundreds of millions of devices a year, I'd say yes.

Do you think that if demand for whole devices increased worldwide, Apple wouldn't be able to fulfill it?
From what I read, you are fully vaccinated, getting the booster adds duration to the protection, however the Delta variant seems to have the ability to spread cell to cell via contact through cell membrane transmission. This allows virus particles to infect new cells without being exposed to antibody virus particle neutralization. The cells still expose surface infection markers = the immune system still kills those cells. These cells infected still burst and spread virus particles however the infection does not progress to a severe infection unless you have the so-called Covid co-morbidities. This site explores these aspects.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/clinical-care/...
You should get tested ASAP if you have symptoms so the correct treatment can be started. These treatments are sensitive to the time stage of your infection = several have time windows when treatments are either too early, too late - or just right for the best outcome.
Covid treatment timeline is important - do not miss one.
Here is a dense read of various aspects if you are hospitalized - hopefully your medical center can rapidly test and stage you and may be able to avoid hospitalization.

> But that's illogical because if the vaccines worked, there'd be no need for any more measures.

Your logic seems short there. People are still falling ill and filling up hospitals, and these are primarily the unvaccinated. If the vaccine workee and everyone took it then we can reduce the restrictions, oh hey this is a comment thread about a country that's doing exactly that... does that mean the vaccine is working? Zomg!

Imagine a row of houses, and the ones at the left side are on fire. Firefighters are spraying the houses from the right with retardant so they will only be slightly charred if the fire reached them. In my mind whar you're proposing is analogous to wanting the firefighters to stop spraying the stuff after 60% of the houses got the spray.

You should look up Gell-Mann amnesia. The basic premise IIRC is that the media's credibility is undeserved. You go through a newspaper reading about this and that, nodding along. When you happen upon an article in a field you know a lot about you realise how clueless the reporters writing the article are. You turn the page, get to the next article and forget all about reporters's cluelessness or the fact that it might extend to other fields you do not know that much about.

I suppose the AirPods (but not the Pro) are similar in design.

I liked Children of The Sky, but in terms of plot it seems clearly meant to be a bridge to a next book, and seemed to suffer from the "middle book" syndrome of trilogies, losing a lot of the faster pace of the first book as it slowly builds up the details and tension to be resolved in the next book.

Are you sure about the "CVE explosion"? From the CNA counting rules https://cve.mitre.org/cve/cna/rules.html#section_7_assignmen... :

7.2.4 If multiple products are affected by the same independently fixable vulnerability, then the CNA:
a. MUST NOT assign more than one CVE ID if the products are affected, because they share the vulnerable code. The assigned CVE ID will be shared by the affected products.
I think they mean “paying too much attention, and giving too much significance, to non-essential details.”
> and they spoke bullshit with a mild air of authority instead of running away, which a sensible person should have done.

I think often they're asked because they've expressed interest in a topic or cause, and they realize that any benefit their name and the exposure they have at the moment is wasted if they ignore questions about it.

That they misstep is probably no different than any fledgling PR person the first day on the job, and sometimes I don't doubt it's media baiting them with questions to expose their lack of knowledge of some areas of the topic, as it makes for good coverage.

A lot of the times I give celebrities a lot of leeway in their knowledge, because most the time it's obvious that they just want to help because they feel fortunate for their current situation and want to give back. Sometimes that seems to be misapplied because of their lack of deep understanding on the topic, but at least their hearts seem to be in a good place.

More than just blood or gore: killing. It is normalized all across genres and cultures.

Most times the "right" to kill comes from things that you can't possibly know, and you are the hero for doing so. And having a gun is a symbol of rightful power, like having money.

And is not just the good boys killing, the bad boys more efficient doing so are shown surrounded by desirable things, power, money, women, charisma.

> It's okay to watch a human being realistically murder another one

Is it? Most movies are unrealistic with their plots. I wouldn't call most action movies "a human being realistically murder another one", they are stories, not real, so the violence is okay because it's not real.

I think that's an oversimplification. You can use violence to protect people.
