Yes, PCs are around since 1981, but if you looked around, they were not that commonplace outside of businesses and quite rare in private usages. There was the age of the home computers, first 8-Bit (Atari, Commodore, TI), then the 68k Machines, the first ARM. In parallel, all the great workstation vendors with their RISC chips.

The PC for home usage really started only in the 90ies, scientists would use workstations. It was only towards the end of the 90ies, that x86 caught up with them and well into the 2000 years, when they overtook them. It was actually AMD who dealt the killing blow with the Athlon and especially the Opteron. At that time, Intel was pushing Ithanium as the architecture for professional usage and kept x86 onto 32 bit with more game-optimized processors (P4).
We can but my understanding is that there are issues, one of them being that these compounds are horrible things that you don’t want spilling or getting on people.

Any car tech has to pass what I call the “rusty pickup test.” It has to degrade gracefully and remain useful and safe enough for use.

Current EV tech passes that. I can totally picture a rusty old F-150 Lightning with aftermarket repairs.
Having used Rx extensively in a desktop app, I’m very looking forward to reactive programming dying. It’s done nothing but add technical debt and increase maintenance costs at this point.
He lost me when he said Juicero was a good idea.
But cheaper overall if it works well. Insurance costs, etc. go down, not to mention the lives saved.
Oh the shebang line is a really nice tip I didn't think about!

Something worth noting is that Deno also has permission APIs that let you query the current permission status and interactively ask for more: https://deno.land/manual/runtime/permission_apis#request-per...
I live in an EU inner city. Most of our grocery stores are quite small, so it's usually like one cashier, one person stacking shelves, and maybe extra people at peak hours to handle deliveries or open a second checkout. A security guard would definitely be out of their budget. For americans, think like a double size 7-11.

Larger stores in the suburbs definitely do, and my understanding is something like whole foods would be similarly sized to those.
Not necessarily. Maybe it is unclaimed land. I don't know how the law works in that case, but there's certainly nobody who "sells it".

Follow your distribution. For example Arch Linux provides PKGBUILDs for official repos and AUR. Most of the time someone has already published PKGBUILD, but if not I just patch accordingly.

And conditions that formed separation are long gone, Arch Linux symlinks most of it:

/bin -> /usr/bin
/sbin -> /usr/bin
/usr/sbin -> /usr/bin

/lib -> /usr/lib
/lib64 -> /usr/lib
/usr/lib64 -> /usr/lib
I have similar questions. I wonder what wild alternatives can be substituted. Meaning, instead of thinking of making transistors on a silicon chip, can we make transistors on any other material or in any other fashion (say tapping into existing structures in nature) in a much easier way? Can we somehow exploit synthetic biology? Etc. etc. To replace the many assumed and developed processes and steps of the supply chain with much more feasible and easier approaches might result in a more efficient process in general.

Basically, we need functional understanding of all components, and hierarchical functional equivalents/isomorphisms. Aka "What is the end function of logic gates?" "To do X" "Are there simpler, easier, faster, more feasible structures that do X? Any way whatsoever? Does not need to relate to the current discipline or our established approahces" and iterate that question over all components and steps of the chip making process.
What do you mean? That this is different for public vs. private employers in the EU?
Also repeatedly zeroing the same memory can have different performance characteristics than zeroing different memory each time. Haven't checked what the benchmark does though.
I didn’t say there wasn’t a cultural difference, I said it wasn’t just a cultural difference. Signing for packages also used to be common in the US too, that culturally started changing around the dot com bubble when e-commerce companies fought for customers’ approval. Because even big American mailboxes can’t legally receive even a small envelope from a courier, it has become culturally normal to have them left out. It is normal because it is universally done.
I didn't think I had ADHD initially, I just assumed I was lazy and that everyone else just pushed through the mental challenges ADHD people has to deal with, but after a decade of nothing working I looked at the criteria again and realized it fit me. So then I went and directly asked to be tested for ADHD describing my symptoms. The science about ADHD isn't that good so sometimes you just got to do what I did, if you go in without an explicit goal chances are they wont find anything wrong with you or just try to treat the symptoms. Like I was depressed since trying to put so much effort and still failing to even focus was an extreme burden on my mental health, trying to treat that depression was hard, but now that I can focus most of that disappeared.

Edit: I think the biggest misconception about ADHD is the "the kid is loud in class, how do we make the kid stop being loud in class?" and thinking that disturbing class is the main problem the kid deals with. That was how ADHD started and what people know today is very biased in that direction, even among professionals. There seems to be very little information about ADHD and career prospects. Like lets say I want to build something, but my ADHD prevents me from building it, but with medication I can build it and I take pills to make that project into reality. That is what I care about, but most studies just look at how these pills improve kids behavior in class.
Wondering how GPU is enabled. I thought Apple silicon GPU is largely a black box. Or is it already reverse engineered in a certain level?
I feel the same about consuming any kind of information. Most of the time, a well written article trumps a podcast or video 6:1. It's the same for a text message vs. voice message.
The fringe I remember wasn’t the same as what you remember but the fringe is very heterodox by definition. If you want lefty conspiracies look up Mae Brussel and Dave Emory.

Lefty and righty conspiracy theories tend to mix freely in the wild. This soup of weirdness thing is one characteristic of the true fringe.

Maybe there was a previous era of weaponization in the 50s. The time I recall was the post Cold War 90s. The current weaponization started after 9/11 with transparent Saudi money in the “truther” movement and then went into high gear when the Trump team got into it.
And who is going to pay for the goods most people would not be able to buy? You will relegate majority of the population to become destitute and may end up with a nice cozy revolt as the result.

Some industries may be able to get away with it and still be competitive - ones that can replace people with robots. This would cause mass layoffs though.

Decent guaranteed basic income could be a solution but something makes me think that North America would rather commit suicide than let people have something "for free" on large scale.

>"China is the reason Amazon is so big."

It was the decision of many US / other western manufacturers to outsource production to China. China was smart and used it to catapult itself from relative nobody to superpower it is today. The true reason is not China but a simple greed.
Wow, this is space technology then - this is how the earlier Mars rovers used to operate. :)
That you dismiss the distinction out of opinion on its' importance proves you indeed missed it.

Whether or not ISO needs to be paid for the work it does or not is irrelevant to the discussion on whether their standards are free (they're not) and the definition of a metre is (it is).

Opinion:

If governments use them for eg regulation, maybe they should be funded by governments and be a non-profit.

Show HN: AutoAI – A framework to find the best performing AI/ML model
What does "fair" mean in this usage? If it means one position attracts a lopsided balance of comments either for or against then surely that's always going to be the case?

Otherwise what is your proposition, don't state any opinion unless you find a counter opinion commenter to match with?

Lots of folk here are pro-privacy and lots of folk are anti-bitcoin (and some of them will be the latter because they're the former) so I don't understand how you'd extended your position in a way that leaves HN with any value.
..or they don't care whether people come or not?

I have a lot of little things I'm going to work on no matter what, a few that I'd appreciate help with but I'm not so bothered that I'm going to start 'hacking the growth', and none where the goal is to have a 'successful' repo with lots of stars and users or whatever. (I do help maintain/triage a couple of popular ones now, but I didn't get them where they are.)
They're only rare because they grow wild in very specific places. Usually far from humans in Tibet, northern India, Kush mountains, South America, Jamaica.

But if you go to those places you'll find a wide variety of land races. These days most are influenced by humans but that's still natural, we're still part of nature.

> Wondering how GPU is enabled

For this demo it's not. It's doing CPU rendering, which the M1 is apparently fast enough to do while providing decent UI performance (albeit while using 60% all-core CPU to do it).

The NEC is nice but it’s still pretty slow. I wouldn’t want to go much more than New York to Boston. I took Boston to DC once and it takes 8 hours .. it’s like a 1 hour flight.

I did that on my NAS a few years ago. I had copied in a bunch of directories from a mac and they all had tons of dot files in each dir that were showing up on my windows machines. I popped open a terminal and did the exact same thing and wiped most of the NAS out =P Good thing I had it mirrored with my other synology.
That would apply more to any eels in the River Clyde in Glasgow.

The Sneaky Way TikTok Is Connecting You to Real-Life Friends
Metager is a non-profit, open-source search engine running fully on renewable energy. It also has a proxy for opening results anonymously

That's the story -- is it /true/ ?

Several maneovers have made the supreme court vastly more powerful than ever envisaged. The SC declaring for itself (in Marbury v. Madison) the right for itself to review the law itself. And subsequent to the civil war, the widening supremacy of federal law (esp. via commerce clause) -- which its own opinions are incorporated in -- and so on.

The "balance of powers" was set up in an essentially pre-federal US. The current US is a system which feels itself "finally answerable" to the at-whim constitution interpretations of nine people. This is a radically different end-state than imagined pre-Madison.

In my view the legislature needs to exercise much more constitutional oversight over the SC, and up-end the last century of scope-creep.
Doesn't it use Bing results, like DuckDuckGo does?
I read it's hosted on MS Azure like Bing and DDG, so in the end it's somewhat just a rebranded Bing. Quite a shame for a European (Franco-German) search engine.
I find it bad because I believe they could optimize in a way to sustain the organization on membership fees itself. Eg. doubling those fees (21M CHF from membership in 2020 out of total 42M revenue) would have achieved this for 2020 without any optimization on their part.

Or they could become more frugal. Eg. simply by removing the overhead of managing *sale" of electronic documents, they could optimize at least a little bit.

Membership fees are stable, yet royalties are fluctuating. As a non-profit, they've got to end the year on 0, so they'll always spend whatever they earn.
It would reduce latency of tasks to do it this way.

Mercedes is a car for aging rich liberal men and women. There are tons of cars with way more masculine, aggressive vibe to them. BMW and Audi, for instance, have took over this market in EU - nobody is buying Mercedes anymore. People perceive Mercedes as "satiated" and "lazy". So, even if authors of this advert are trying to do that, they are failing.

The standards organisation costs money. This particular standards organisation, ISO, exclusively has members which are sovereign entities (technically, the national standards organisations of those sovereign entities)

So if you want the documents to be free, the sovereign entities are going to have to pay for that. In practice, I can already tell you that if they were supposed to pay for this the United States will have some excuse for why it doesn't want to pay or its fees will always be late. But even if you aren't a US citizen, this is something your government chooses not to pay for.

Can you? My i5-10300H equipped laptop drives two external monitors daily and the fans don't even start in normal use. Maybe specify which laptop?

The M1 can't even support two monitors plugged in directly, which is a joke for a machine this expensive.
That site is horrible on mobile, a good portion of the screen is taken up by the orange "download/view" infographic thing. Interesting though to see how connected the engines are, I would have thought DDG would be bigger with its bang option though I assume it's about what is natively included in the results.
When was that?

I also asked Hetzner for GPU instances after they took down the ones from the website, and a price list was not available at the time, but for a sufficiently sized order they said they would provide me some.
In theory this is what Great British Rail will do. They own the network and trains, and use a concession model to bring in private entities to actually drive the train and manage the details of day-to-day operations. Exactly how TfL manages their entire network.
OK, I didn’t put this completely correctly. The original separation of /usr to hold user home directories (!) and / to hold everything else was because the first RK05 disk ran out, but it makes sense in any case. The additional hierarchy under /usr was created some time later when space on the first RK05 disk ran out again, and while this can be a perfectly sensible decision for a single installation on a single site, taking it seriously decades later is silly. Neither does that mean that there weren’t good reasons the split got preserved in subsequent systems, just that they couldn’t have been the same as the original ones; there are no netmounts in V6, after all.

(I have an old Unix intro book that describes /usr as user home directories, the rest is a second-hand retelling[1].)

Demos sure are important, however I would advocate using videos (.mp4) instead of GIF. That way you can pause and seek the video, to get better idea what's going on.

So many times I've come across demo GIFs/animated shell sessions that "type" at about 1000 characters a minute, and the animation loops over before I even had a chance to blink.
I see what it’s doing recursively (splitting into quadrants and moving clockwise) . But I’m a bit startled as to why it rotates, but I’m thinking when it gets to one pixel is key but it still seems like a lateral shift…

It seems like I missed the last part of the article.
Thanks for pointing it out.
You (I'll paraphrase): "They did a study and my assumptions have been violated, so I'm going to say it's absurd!"

Obviously it depends on what things they measured. If it's "Number of people named Cumberbatch" the UK would probably be ranked no. 1, so they could've also designed a study to make the UK look bad. But if I can guess, I don't think you read the study and its conclusions.
Or alternately, spotted it and decided to make their own chip.
Guess the quality of search results doesn't matter and it's all about keeping users engaged which gives data to build up more "accurate" profiles.

Of course there might be some interesting or valuable content on that site for some people but I really doubt is the dominant one. I've launched tiktok for literal 3 mins and I couldn't find anything interesting there because the dynamics and form of the content were definitely not for my tastes.
Thanks, I've modified to use .sed scripts instead. I used bash scripts because I remembered (incorrectly it seems) that sed scripts were unsafe.
Veterans Have Become Unlikely Lobbyists in Push to Legalize Psychedelic Drugs
A long time ago, as I was working with the Nintendo SDK for the DS console I wondered if the provided memcpy implementation was optimal.

Turned out it was quite slow.

I replaced it with an Intel hand optimized version made for the StrongARM, and replaced the prefetch opcode by a simple load because this opcode was not supported by the arch of the CPU of this console.

50% faster, this is quite significant for such a low-level, already optimized routine, used extensively in many stages of a game engine.

I think that we should never assume that standard implementations are optimal, trust but verify.

My point is that we complain about Facebook stealing our data but then log in to Facebook and freely give it to them.

Instead of waiting for the govt or some big regulatory entity to slap Facebook we can do it ourselves and just delete Facebook.

^ This right here. This article is pretty hogwash IMO

Points 1 and 3 aren't relevant if they aren't recording the data. Companies in other jurisdictions have no magic invulnerability you can trust to their data getting out (legally or illegally) if they're storing it.

Points 2 and 5 are equally true of any open source project unless you run it yourself from source. There are _plenty_ of examples of users getting phished by maliciously built/hosted open source tools

Point 4 is obviously not malicious tracking and a mistake any project could make

At the end of the day though, unless you're going to run everything yourself (which most people aren't) you have to pick who to trust -- some random person running a server somewhere, or a company with hundreds of employees recruited under the premise of working on a privacy-centric search engine who could all turn whistleblower

At the current rate of money printing and low interest rates it seems like the goal is to keep pumping the bubble... so yeah, it's gonna take a while for the bubble to pop and in the meantime more gains to be made.

We just have a single settings.py and use django-environ to populate it.

# settings.py

from environ import Env

ENV = Env()

DEBUG = ENV.bool("DEBUG", True)
SECRET_KEY = ENV.str("SECRET_KEY", "debug-secret-key")
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ENV.list("ALLOWED_HOSTS", default=["*"])

...

# Running with local .env
$ foreman run -- python3 manage.py runserver

# Running with prod.env
$ foreman run -e prod.env -- python3 manage.py runserver

It's easy and scales well with a lot of settings/environments/developers.
