>Which is going to much much much faster than M1.

Will it really?

It isn't a given. They might bring amazing progress, or not.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter all that much if it isn't available to third parties. It's not as if everybody else is sitting on their ass.

SiFive's not a fat company, their research budget is tiny, relative to the likes of Apple. And yet, they're coming up with competitive cores.

Things are so much easier when not restricted by a shitty ISA (x86). I have taken a look, and I really like RISC-V; I find it better than ARM.
Personally I'd rather two 3-day weeks on site per month (with paid travel & accommodation). This is easier for balancing family etc as you only need to be away two nights for each trip. But it really would depend on the person and their circumstances.

If you're looking at whether you can attract people outside the HQ city, I think the two factors are frequency and length of in-office time. More than a few days is tough for many to be away from home, and more than a couple trips a month starts to be a lot of travel. I say this as someone who has regularly flown to a different city for work.

If you're just talking about attracting people who are a 90 minute drive away vs 45 min (for example), 1 or 2 days per week in office each week might be easier to swing.
That's exactly what this piece is.
I mean, maybe, if that guy wanted to stay around to try and improve his country. Maybe not if he valued his life.

But that doesn't change the fact that it was a crime, does it? Remember, the comment I replied to was saying that Chelsea Manning did not commit a crime when they leaked secret American military information while a serving member of the US armed forces.

You might - and I would - argue that Manning did something that is a good thing for the world, but that doesn't mean saying that it was a crime is 'post fact'. 'Post fact' is redefining the idea of 'illegal' to be 'only things I don't personally agree with', which is not a definition that survives contact with the real world.
I think we can agree on common ground, I just don't think it's what really matters. Actually, I'd say what matters most, is that we disagree. What would actually happen if everything was simply true?
I agree that socialized healthcare should exist, but I am also saying it might not solve as many issues as you think they will.

The root cause of this specific issue isn't related to a lack of healthcare, but regulations propping up real estate as an investment category and preventing supply growth, in both countries. A lack of wage growth comes from fed policy to raise interest rates and slow down the economy just at the point where wage growth starts occurring, because they think it's inflationary in a major way, and the fed is public about this policy.

Bring full socialized medicine to the USA, and the housing & wage issue will definitely still remains, as it does in Canada. Entrepreneurship is probably worse overall in canada because of culture, some banking policies and overall lack of investment capital available for non-resource entrepreneurial activities compared to the usa. But yes, health insurance is a dampener on entrepreneurship too.
Had my M1 MBA since last Nov, use every day for hours. Only rebooted when system updates came out. I would get Apple on it. Might be hardware.
The X25-M felt like I V8 swapped my 2006 MacBook. That thing was world changing. The 10k drives were fast, but for mostly laptop users the SSD was such a shift in speed it was uncanny.
In today's tech environment (in the US), are resumes actually getting rejected?

My LinkedIn profile contains no buzzwords, or really anything past title and company name, not even my current employers, and I still get a ton of recruiter messages. Never worked at a FAANG, lots of small companies that never went anywhere (never lived in the Bay Area either). i can probably get an interview without even having a resume ready.
The unspoken secret here is aircraft carriers existed in the 80s as a component of Kissinger's soft power. In 2021 there isn't a single meaningful country you'd waste the cash to park a carrier on the coast of that couldn't immediately send it to a watery smouldering grave. Even punching bags like Iran are a dicey proposition as the proxy soldiers are too asymmetric to reliably expect a destroyer to engage, and the nation itself is armed to the teeth with the latest Russian missile systems and radar. Hell, that they managed to land a high tech us drone is in itself alone enough to pull teeth out of the navy.

Submarines exist to keep the peace. Their real purpose is that they exist and operate in the dated service of mutually assured destruction. Even here the accidents seem to mount lately though as these wandering souls of the doomsday device have seemingly nothing to do

The us navy is in the midst of an identity crisis fuelled by octogenarian politicians that have pedalled the institution into treading cold-war era water with no real direction.
Thanks! Good points. I half wonder if my teacher’s grievance didn’t come from living in a majority anglo culture.
You mean those "allies" who signed a non-aggression pact with them and then proceeded to discharge on them the largest amount of explosive material ever in the history of warfare? (Sadly that record held for only a few months.) Because those guys were well funded by the Western banksters.
>Why is it that MacOS feels more and more like Windows did 10 years ago? Slower, bloatier, buggier. In 2015, I used to go months between reboots on my MacBook Pro. In 2021, I seem to have to reboot my M1 mini at least once a week.

Some bizarro software, perhaps some that had you bypass SIP?

Otherwise, I never had to reboot my M1 since I bought it last year (except for minor updates and Monterey).
It's really not clear though, are you saying that's bad? Or that the model is bad because of these studies? Or that the studies are bad because of the model?
You're right. And it's not just Down Syndrome, genetic counseling screens for and offers abortion as a solution for many genetic disorders, such as hereditary blindness.
one of their tools was an inductive telephone earpiece pickup coil with suction cup, connected to a small amplified speaker.

Ah, yes, the Mark I Real-Time Fourier Analyzer.
What do you mean by "outside of HQ city"? If they're trying to attract people from _other_ cities, a full week a month is a lot of living "on the road".

Maybe if the company specializes in furnished vacation rentals and always has inventory...
For anyone who hasn’t run into Ithkuil before, it’s basically an attempt at creating a language which is as precise and concise as possible:

> an idealized language whose aim is the highest possible degree of logic, efficiency, detail, and accuracy in cognitive expression via spoken human language, while minimizing the ambiguity, vagueness, illogic, redundancy, polysemy (multiple meanings) and overall arbitrariness that is seemingly ubiquitous in natural human language

For instance, here is a sample of Ithkuil III (since I can’t seem to find any materials on Ithkuil IV), precisely describing Marcel Duchamp’s Nud descendant un escalier, No. 2:

> Aukkras êqutta ogvëuļa tnou’elkwa pal-lši augwaikštülnàmbu.

> ‘An imaginary representation of a nude woman in the midst of descending a staircase in a step-by-step series of tightly-integrated ambulatory bodily movements which combine into a three-dimensional wake behind her, forming a timeless, emergent whole to be considered intellectually, emotionally and aesthetically.’

Hmm... it's been a long time since I read Gibson, but wasn't his cyberworld mainly populated by hackers?

What made Stephenson's Metaverse different was that it was the kind of place where (e.g.) high schoolers would go on dates. Gibson's cyberspace was dark, dark, dark.

That's a pity inasmuch as it punishes those who have done well on a job. I would really appreciate it if when checking references a past employer would feel comfortable saying good things about my work.
I think there is a difference between "figure it out yourself" and asking questions of the student.

In any case, this talk claims that studies show giving the answer is the best way to teach (don't shoot the messenger)

Except the point that dogs respond to their owners wishes, even subtlety or unintentionally displayed, was valid. You don't need to know about special sniffing dogs to know dogs want to please their owners.

The burden is on those interpreting the behavior of specific sniffing dogs in a way that demonstrates their is actual reliability in general, and in the specifics. No the other way around.
The Value of Nothing: Capital versus Growth
Did this get removed from front page?
An economic system whose main premise is infinite growth is unsustainable.
I like Grammarly, but I definitely wouldn't let it interrupt me while I'm writing. I don't install the Grammarly extension or write in the Grammarly app. Instead, I paste my content into Grammarly as a last step after editing the content myself, and I find that to be an effective workflow.
It's not inexact, though. "and" in this case is a logical joiner not a numerical joiner. "Richard, Jerry, and Robert are going to share 60 cherries" is the first fact presented. "Robert has 30 cherries" is the second fact, it is one property about the cherries Robert has. "and has 10 more than Richard" is a third fact, it is another property of the cherries Robert has. The only addition that comes out of this is from the "10 more than Richard" bit, "more than" suggests addition, "and" does not. The way kids are taught to transform that would be something like:

richard + jerry + robert = 60
robert = 30
robert = richard + 10

Trying to make Robert have 40 cherries makes the math conducted by the "AI" even more absurd, because it throws out the first fact (that there are 60 total).
I'm not sure I agree.

I'm sure the plots they were farming were much smaller and there were more hands per plot. Also, I believe most families wouldn't have been able to afford more than a couple of smaller animals, and if they were lucky/slightly better off a cow/goat.

Plus, if you look at the lowest figure in the article is mentions 1440 hours annually which works out to a bit under 30 hours a week, so not hugely less time.

On the flip side everything had to be build by hand from scratch so domestic labor probably accounted for at least an equal amount of time.

I'd guess that between work and home the average was probably 60 hours a week. Not too far off nowadays, just distributed differently.
I have one relative whose house is constantly full of the voice of a right wing angry man and another one whose home reverberates with a left wing angry man.

That's an interesting report because I've seen statistics [citation required] that Grand Juries vote to indict in 99.9% of cases. I was locked up for 8 years in a county jail and I only saw one instance where the grand jury did not return a "true bill", and the Constitution in that case then allows the prosecutor a second chance by then doing a prelminary hearing in front of the judge instead. At which point the judge immediately found probable cause.

The case was that someone said they had seen, from the street, the suspect walking around in his basement with a gun in his hand. They called the police. 47 officers arrived at the house, but the suspect had left earlier. They found him several blocks from the house with no firearm on him and arrested him for Unlawful Use or Possession of a Firearm by a Felon (he had a previous conviction from years prior). The judge took pity on him and offered to let him plead to Attempted Possession of a Firearm to get him to plead guilty, which he did and only had to do 6 months in prison for a crime he didn't actually commit. (It was shown that it was impossible to see into the basement from where the reporting citizen was stood.)
After I was caught, I went to live with some students. Paid them in a few beers now and then. There was only one front door key between the four of them. To get it we had to climb up the front of the house. I was nearly 40 at the time, but didn’t mind too much living the student life style.

However, Eventually that kind of thing got to me. The breaking point was realizing that primary school teachers were getting paid more than me. Left for a university management job in Asia.
I wish the parent were trolling.
Always one of you that has to pop up
>Yikes. As a Linux guy my instinct is to go in and fix that but I can't :( it hurts sometimes

As if you could do that for a random distro you've used? Good luck trying to get them to change how they compress updates upstream, accept your patches, and so on.

More realistically you could just change to another distro with a different method of updating.

But then again if your issue was not with something distro-dependent, but something like a core tool you want to use (regardless of distro, say, Wayland, Gnome, or GIMP, or GCC), you'll again either have a hard time getting into the community, sending patches, and having them accepted and integrated, or a hard time maintaining them on your own branch.

There are issues with Gnome for example, with thousands of user complaints, that haven't been touched for years (e.g. preview in file picker, iirc is a classic example).

What is DHCP prefix delegation?
Personally, I think going to the industry straight from college was a mistake.

In half a decade of working in the real world I've learned nothing more than dealing with office politics and the importance of delegating work while still getting credit. I also learned that I suck at those things and get no fulfillment from them.

If you are finishing your first degree and enjoyed studying, learning, and actually doing something with your life, I'd recommend continuing in academia.
In the US, get rid of our sue crazy nature. Then we might be able to have nice things again. Or get specific letters of recommendation from your past employers/managers, they'll provide those if you perform decently. You'll probably have to go to a specific manager, though.
Does this book cover how to figure out finger numbering for sheet music that doesn't have finger numbering?

By finger numbering I mean the standard scheme where thumb=1, index=2, ..., pinky=5, and the notes on the sheet music have these numbers.

This is the biggest mystery to me. I understand there is not a One True Canonical Fingering for a given sequence of notes. But some fingerings make the music much easier than others.

Wish some HN coder genius would write a program that given sheet music as input, outputs the top 1-3 recommended fingerings for that music with explanations for which rules were applied.
Now that I REALLY think about it.... I guess I don't need vim. I am one of those persons who tries to convince themselves they need vim for everything to fit in the with the cool kids. I understand the hypocrisy and I kinda need this hypocrisy for motivation reasons I guess.

Modifying Vim to the point it replicates notepad defeats the purpose of using vim. I need a handful of Vim key bindings but beyond that customizing the rc file to make it more like notepad is just too much of a hassle.

I use text wrap and frequently use the scroll zoom. I miss 2-3 letters words in my writing so I have to get to them quickly when I am revising. Being a vim novice vim is great for me as I am writing but not for editing and revising.

And Windows environment really isn't great for rapid typing with vim. Initializing the terminal takes me 10-20 seconds.
Probably not. In Illinois where I am, at least, judicial matters are excluded from the Freedom of Information Act. You do have a free speech right to some judicial documents under the 1st Amendment to the federal constitution and possibly under a State constitution.

The transcripts of the actual grand jury session are "secret" but generally available to the defendant's attorney, but not the public.

Information on when a grand jury went home might not be restricted though, and might be available, if it was recorded somewhere.

And that's with the wrong math, considering a pound of rice at 600 calories instead of the actual 1600 calories. Which means $450 instead of $1500, which means over 140× the economic production of medieval Japan.
Getting caught for being incompetent is one thing. Getting caught and having that shared all over the internet and embarrassing not just yourself, but your team and your company is another.

When a company has a big outage, people on here will go on about not pointing fingers at any individual. We wouldn't say, "oh, must've been the new guy" or "the engineer who caused that sucks and should get fired." Well, I might argue that this is kind of like that for recruiters. If a recruiter failed to read a resume, is it because the recruiter is bad at their job, or their company has systems in place that are not fault tolerant?

I don't know. Maybe they do just suck. But surely they can improve. It's hard to grow when you've been publicly humiliated.
It would not increase unless you are switching away from a third party DNS. Whether you use Comcast's DNS or not, they know the sites that you visit... If you use Google as your DNS, then Google also knows.
I find it hard to believe (but give you the benefit of the doubt), as Debian on 1999 (I was using it from 1999 to 2004, professionally on servers and desktops) was a hot mess upgrading, with tons of crap from the package manager.
I've worked in a lot of different languages, and picked up Ada 2012 this year. I found it very productive and wrote a tool I use daily for professional development in it. It's verbose, but it's amazing how much all the work it forces you do up front saves you down the line. Built-in range checks for types, and pre/post conditions and invariants are interesting to work with. There's even a tool similar to Cargo, called Alire (https://alire.ada.dev/). It has its quirks, but overall I've been very impressed.
To be absolutely frank: it was under "startup"-like circumstances, so I was looking for people with good networks, that I could tap into when needed. Unfortunately, that didn't turn out to be meaningful, except to open a few doors (a wee-bit faster, than doing it my self), and having a pool of people (friends and former co-workers of employees) to hire from, that were more likely to work well together and "mesh" into the org, than someone "off the street."

I saw no discernible difference between people of pedigree and the "state school," "boring corp."s of the world -- except that the former's names and institutions they were associated with were good marketing.

If someone is motivated enough, they can pretty much handle whatever you throw at them. Having better domain experience (f.e. being a software lead vs. a mid-level programmer) accounted only for how quickly they were expected to become useful, and "figure it out."

And the "Plain Janes" of the working world were usually more motivated to make a name for themselves, than those who've already been established. Some of the latter were downright useless; coat-tail riders.

The ones who had been screwed over/discriminated against/temporarily demoralized by circumstance, but were otherwise high-performers were always a treat, though. Seemed to have chips on their shoulders and would go the extra mile at any opportunity that gave them simple respect and acknowledgement. However, such earnestness is liable to be taken advantage of by the short-sighted.

I don't think I've even ever read what's written underneath those "COMPANY - POSITION - DATE" headings. I always assumed they were either so general to be useless, puffed up and massaged statistics to sell one's importance, or unintelligible and lacking actionable substance.

The only thing I look for nowadays, with anyone I associate with, is whether or not they're motivated, and if I can work with them. Usually, that just means they can take direction if they're subordinate; or they lack ego, if we're equals/they're on a higher plane than I am.
I trust that experts in epidemiology have a better chance than I do, yes. Similarly, they should trust me on estimating software projects, even if I've been by no means perfect at it.
Not really, but HTDP has a nice boilerplate to frame problems for a computer program. You're not going to find the sterile neutrino by following it (probably), but you're going to be able to go from a simple cli tic-tac-toe to consuming APIs in a non-trivial CRUD program with it.
They still know where you go ... where do you think your traffic go through?
Wow, you know more than 40 retired or on welfare people who believe majority of liberal leaning college students grow up to eat babies? Those people sound extremely ignorant and unhinged. I'm sorry you have to associate with people who spread such horrible misinformation and lies around. Those type of people are so divisive and hateful.
It's unfortunate, as soon as I saw it was Twitter and waiting for the page to load I left and opted to skip reading this one.
But do you want to pay for their learning curve? More competitors is only helpful if the price goes down or more products are available. If prices go up as a result the consumer pays.
Web app capabilities built in to the foundation of HTML and the browser.

Elements that know they're user-editable (images with upload controls attached to them to replace the image that's there, dates that trigger calendar controls when clicked, and inline editing for other elements that actually works and is consistent across browsers).

An offline database in the browser that has the concept of user accounts and resetting passwords baked in, as well as subscription payments, and has a universal API that can be automatically deployed to any hosting platform.

All of this would make building web apps and games trivial for so many more people -- write some basic HTML, upload it to one of a million platforms of your choice with a click, and you have a testing ground for a product that can grow.

It would be a way for anyone on the internet to build something useful and get it out there without learning a thousand technologies with a thousand nuances.
The delayed choice quantum eraser, debunked
Of course, they make it easy to indict because only the prosecutor gives the "facts" and there is noone there to rebut it. In my cases they actually failed to allege some elements of the offense in one, which would technically make it impossible to indict because you cannot say for certain if a crime was committed (but I checked and they say as long as most of the elements were alleged then it is close enough to be legal), and in both cases the police lied about which county the crime was alleged to have been committed in, so the grand jury did not know they had no legal authority to indict.
