I hope I was not too harsh in my comment. There are a lot of disparate threads in the article. If you wanted to get one point across, what would that be?

Web3 isn't an easy concept to understand because it has 'web' in the name, yet it can't be accessed via the clearweb, only via browser extensions, or mirror sites.

The NFT site "hicetnunc" went down recently, with little to no explanation and people on Twitter recommended going to one of several of its mirrors, all with a different address. Would a regular user go to "amazon.win" if "amazon.com" was down?

There's so much about Web3 that feels shady or prone to malfunctioning at any time, with no communication. I hope you can understand that that aspect of it simply does not reconcile with the 'monetize-first' attitude of its proponents.
No it can’t. Almost nobody uses fdroid for good reason. It’s also simply not comparable from a business standpoint, dealing with the taxation and regulation in a hundred countries seamlessly.
IMO The Verge, MKBHD, LTT, Snazzy Labs, etc are entertainment platforms, not tech reviewers. Often lacking conviction, criticism, strong opinions, technical know-how and ability to do the hardwork for objective comparisons. They spend more time polishing the video, studio neatness and thumbnails than informing the public.

They're optimized for viewership and revenue.
If the emerging AI is smart and can read, absolutely nothing at all, until it’s too late! :-)
I wonder if they can release official kits to build an Apple][ or a more powerful variant. It's good to actually program on the hardware instead of emulation.
Your bike might have issues, your posture might not be very aero, you might not be using your gears to maintain an efficient cadence, or your fitness isn't as good as you think. Play around with the following calculator: https://www.gribble.org/cycling/power_v_speed.html

Just using the default numbers of a 75 kg rider on a 7.7 kg bike with a frontal area of 0.5 m^2, C_d = 0.63, and drivetrain loss of 2%, maintaining 30 km/hr requires approximately 150 W of output. 35 km/hr, that goes up to 225 W. A functional threshold power (power one can sustain for an hour) of 200 W isn't exceptional.

Anecdotally, I have a lot of weight to lose and I can maintain an average moving speed of 30 km/hr on a mostly flat, 100 km course.
I should have said two 120V legs offset 180°.
> It is also impossible to incorporate something from other software without actually referencing it explicitly.

No, some programming languages just injects symbols based on context. You'd have to compile it with the right dependencies for it to work, so it is impossible to know what it is supposed to be.

And even if they reference some other file, that file might not even be present in the codebase, instead some framework says "fetch this file from some remote repository at this URL on the internet" and then it fetches some file from the node repository, which can be another file tomorrow for all we know. This sort of time variance is non-existent in math, so to me math is way more readable than most code.

And you have probably seen a programming tutorial or similar which uses library functions that no longer exists in modern versions, tells you to call a function but the function was found in a library the tutorial forgot to tell you about, or many of the other things that can go wrong.
What about saving your designs locally from Figma (as a .fig file) ?

Doesn't that count as a backup?
You send input from Pi to a PC elsewhere, then on that PC the game is running, instead of outputting to screen it instead writes to a compressed video stream and sends it back to the pi. Same thing for audio.

Then the pi must uncompress the video and audio, convert to the format HDMI uses and send to TV.

All that must be done in less than a millisecond, and depending on your TV model might require it to be done 120 or even 240 times per second.

Right now, yes. Samsung and Intel have 3nm fabs under construction, though.
So how is the parallel relevant to an article titled "What Peng Shuai reveals about one-party rule"?
The "mandatory training and exam" are an utter joke in the US. The reality is that of course cars should have speed governors, but we have turned cars into luxury goods so now peoples fragile ego centers around how big and fast their transportation is. Reasonable people want to simulate a PID controller for hours as much as they want to shift manually - not at all.
They're giant gadgets so there's really no ceiling on the kinds of features they can add to a high end bike.

That Harley Davidson eBike has elegant inline accelerometer actuated break lights! They must add a bit to the price. And you probably pay a premium just for the cool brand name, too.

It's a matter of picking the features that will actually benefit you, and shopping around for a brand that has the right combination of features important to you.

I took a test ride on a different, less expensive brand of bike that had the automatic Enviolo stepless automatic transmission, and really loved it. And the silent belt drive went really well with the smooth transmission.

Then I shopped around a lot and found a Koga that had the Enviolo, who makes high quality hand made seamless frames, and that drove up the price a lot.

If I was going to pop for a good transmission, it would be a pity to have it on a crappy frame. And the Koga has other useful features like good brakes and crank, shock absorbers, lighting, internal cabling and battery, all seamlessly integrated, etc.

I was getting a bike instead of a car as a primary means of transportation, and I fully insured it in case it's stolen.

I'd recently moved away from the center of the city to the outskirts of town where there's more space, and now I have a whole car-free locked garage to park it in and keep it safe and dry.

It's really made the rest of the city seem much closer, even though I'm now further away from the center!

But it would really suck without a safe parking garage, if I had to lock it out front on the street regularly, like where I used to live in the center.
Vim has a concept of an object and actions/motions that can be applied to the object. You can think of it as nouns and verbs. Vim objects can be letter, words, sentences or paragraphs. Say you have the following sentence:

"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?"

If you cursor is on the letter "H", you can type the "dw" to delete the word "How".

You can use "dt" to delete up to a letter. If your cursor is at the letter "H", "dtw" deletes up the letter "w" which will delete "How much ".

This barely scratches the surface. There is a steep learning curve involved but it's totally worth it if you need to edit text on a regular basis.
> Ideally you do want them to be the same, so that the skill of using one reinforces the skill of using the other,

I've used several dozen shells, script languages, and programming languages - and have needed to do within the context of a single job. What's one more? For an interactive shell I prioritize writeability, and for scripts I prioritize readability and maintainability. These are often at odds - not just in what I write, but in the syntax itself - and by making my shell and script the same, I make middling compromises resulting in a jack of all trades that is a master of none.

I disagree that this is "ideal".

> and you can begin to shape scripts out of your shell history.

It's been my experience that this is quite doable even when the scripting language has different syntax than your shell. Oh, sure, it's not as simple as Copy+Paste - but it's never that simple. Even simple shell scripts inevitably end up needing error checking, sanity checks, error messages, ...
It's not officially supported, but I think it would work if you installed the official ROCm 4.5 packages. The RX 6800 is listed as gfx1030 [1], which has been shipping in most libraries since ROCm 4.2. I've heard there were a few bugs, but I've been using it for months without encountering any issues myself.

(I work for AMD on ROCm. All opinions are my own.)

You're missing that the customers aren't all buying the same thing. Apple is willing to make the investment/commitment and take the pain of shipping a product on a brand new node, and the tooling will last longer than Apple needs it for. That rolls from phones up (eventually) to big pro chips as yields etc improve, but then volume tapers off after a few years as most products move to newer chips on the next process. Apple needs a lot of capacity up front (iPhone launch) so they make the deals so TSMC can scale up. Later smaller players like AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, etc can use the proven nodes with less risk. 16nm/12nm is still perfectly good for lots of things. TSMC keeps the fabs busy for a long time, Apple gets the volume of parts they need at a good price. Apple doesn't directly compete with the other major semis so it doesn't really matter that they always have access to better manufacturing. It's all fine.
A non-tongue-in-cheek answer would be sudden significant qualitative progress in chip designs produced with aid of computers.
I enjoyed Pushing Ice.
There are two different Blu-ray dye technologies, LTH and HTL. HTL is the original and uses more expensive inorganic materials (germanium, bismuth, or palladium) and then there's the cheaper LTH that came later and uses an organic dye that's more susceptible to light, breaks down rather quickly over time, and has more burning/reading issues. You don't want to use the latter.

Typically if the surface of the disc is gold and darkens with writing, it's an LTH disc.

> You know what's a pretty naive take? Handwaving social control as necessary to maintain "the comforts of modern society." How exactly does one follow from another? What does that statement even mean?

It means you don't shit on your neighbour's porch.

It means you don't park in a handicap space, knock the old biddy who wanted it out of her wheelchair after she laboriously has got out of her car further away from the shop, and give her the finger as you walk away laughing.

It means you don't spit your boss in the face; don't cheat on your taxes, your creditors, or your wife; don't drive drunk or fuck toddlers in the arse.

It means all that, and a million other things like it.

Are you OK with that, or is any of the above something that you insist on your "right" to indulge in?

If not, then what the fuck is different about your "right" not to care whether you're coughing death-in-agony in the face of everyone you meet, that you must insist on that?!?

Something I feel is left out of the movement towards informality as standard protocol is that the whole point of formality is the presumption that you know nothing about the other person. Realizing this presumption obviously requires discipline, restraint, and a grasp of mutual benefit. I don't think its incidental that as formality has diminished in communication in exchange for some nebulous notion of anti-authoritarian authenticity, people have become even worse at interacting with strangers spontaneously.

This goes hand-in-hand with the demonization (misinterpretation) of small talk. The point is to establish a rhythm and cadence with a stranger without being possibly invasive in content (again, I don't know you); its a road to the destination of "real talk", but today you see it demanded that people "be real" immediately which, to me at least, is much more discipling power as it makes interactions asymmetrical from the get-go. What is "real" for you? What is "real" for me?

The war on presumed distance in communication is more segregating, isolating, and disciplining than formal practice I feel. I might even go so far as to wager that formality allows a greater range of neurotypes to socially participate effectively than is current.
There's a whole scam artist community around it.
Everyone has a monopoly on their own products. Samsung has a monopoly on Galaxy phones. Tesla has a monopoly on Model Ss. It’s meaningless to say that Apple has a monopoly on a certain part of the iPhone infrastructure, since it’s their product.

Of course they don’t have a monopoly on mobile apps or app stores or phones. There are competing products.
> Keeping the dependency information in a database, which is queried during the resolution process, allows us to choose dependencies using criteria specified by the developer instead of merely importing the latest possible versions, as pip's backtracking algorithm does. You can specify quality criteria depending on the application's traits and environment. For instance, applications deployed to production environments must be secure, so it is important that dependencies do not introduce vulnerabilities. When a data scientist trains a machine learning model in an isolated environment, however, it is acceptable to use dependency versions that are vulnerable but offer a performance gain, thus saving time and resources.

This seems like a really bad idea to me. I could understand and perhaps get behind the idea that you might use something like this to find the optimal version of a package to use in a given project, but unexpected differences between your development environment and production are a common source of outages.

It also requires using a different package manager called Thamos: https://thoth-station.ninja/docs/developers/thamos/. This tool then outputs requirements files compatible with Pipenv, pip, or pip-tools (though notably not Poetry).

That being said, all of the examples and config seems very centered around ML use cases, with the Thamos config accepting settings for OS, cpu, and cuda versions. Is variance in performance between otherwise-compatible versions of ML packages really that big a problem?

Ask HN: Pathfinding algorithm to find all shortest k paths between two nodes?
Im developing a city builder game and want to simulate citizens walking from point A to point B, but have each citizen take a random k shortest path to reach their destination. This is to avoid clumping that you'll see if you use Dijkstra's or flow fields (since these return only one available path). I will also use this for cars, so the algorithm must handle weighted and directed edges.

I have created my own solution, but I'm always looking for more optimal algorithms.

Note that the OP is asking about college-level math, not cutting-edge papers.

Textbooks routinely have a list of symbols and their definitions.

But, from my experience, notation is rarely the problem. I’d bet that the root cause of OP’s frustration is lack of understanding of concepts, not notation. (But, of course, it’s hard to say more without specific examples).

I eagerly awaited every issue. It taught me a lot, in an era where finding information about computers was pretty difficult. I was in junior high school, and none of the books in the school or public libraries covered any of this fancy new "microcomputer" stuff.

Inspired by DDJ, I remember writing my own versions of PILOT and a "Tiny BASIC" with floating point, in Z-80 assembly, a couple years before I got my first computer. Probably still have those notebooks somewhere, I'm sure that code is terrible :-)

I'm grateful to DDJ for its liveliness, breadth of subject matter (okay, "randomness"), and simple enthusiasm for teaching people about personal computing.

What's going on with number 3?

Obviously there's a front facing camera, they're not hiding it. It's even a GOOD webcam, to disable it you push it into the bezel and that physically blocks the camera. Great design.

Beyond that, the criticisms are just "This is a proprietary OS by a company that makes hardware, it's not trustworthy." So why the focus on the camera? It's almost like you're trying to imply that Samsung is integrating hidden cameras just to covertly surveil their customers.
I can’t help but wonder how badly the CCP is actually fighting to suppress this, though - I think I heard laowhy86 argue that they might allow it to consume the news cycle, to distract from something else.

Seeing this comment, and seeing e.g. CBS highlight the story, it really just seems fishy in general. Something is different - maybe we’re just in a new era, but who knows.

Honestly, I never really had that much love for Emacs until relatively recently. I've always dabbled due to it generally having good support for most languages (including esoteric ones) but recently I got into it a lot more due to the fact that many of the new-ish OSS editors but Emacs has always been there and likely will always be there.

A few years back I got into Atom quite a bit since it checked all the boxes: extensible, open source, and it was very nice. Then VSCode killed it. And it seems more and more that VSCode is taking over, all the while inserting more proprietary code to the point where half the 'big' plugins don't work on Codium, only the proprietary MS distribution.

So I got back into Emacs but really worked on my environment. Stopped dabbling and started just forcing myself to use it. And it's honestly amazing. It checks off every box available in VSCode and more. And it's nice knowing that it'll always be there. I'm not against proprietary software per-se, but I definitely don't have a lot of trust in Microsoft.
The media's reporting on Peng Shuai's case is... let's say, incomplete. For a better picture, one should read her original Weibo post. Here is a translation: https://www.reddit.com/r/tennis/comments/qmn69a/full_transla...

True. They also could be part of the conspiracy to make people sick with 5g so that bill gates can inject microchips into people through the vaccines.

After all, they haven’t denied it!
There is a massive performance difference—not just size, but computation as well. Especially if you want a constant-time implementation. There is also an order of magnitude more ways to screw up and not do input validation correctly, thereby introducing vulnerabilities. For all these reasons there aren’t really good libraries for RSA outside of TLS implementations, and that’s a lot of baggage to inherit if you are not doing TLS.
My two cents:
1. Don't go to grad school for a reason other than really wanting to go to grad school. It's just that pretty much every other reason has a totally random probability of manifesting. Which is what you can get without grad school, so why pay extra?

2. Get better at networking online. This is the obvious corollary of the shift to working out of the office - physical co-location is no longer the one and only way to build professional relationships.
