Unclear this is true. There’s no herd immunity for any other coronavirus. Antibodies wane quicker than for other diseases.

We have a SARS virus that we hope is actually just a common cold. That’s the plan. Hope and see.

Even highly vaccinated European societies are seeing a sharp rise in cases now that winter is here. Even Portugal, which vaccinated basically 100% of adults, has seem cases triple in a month.

They seem to be doing alright, but antibodies are currently fresh from recent vaccines. We’ll see how this goes long run.

But there’s no empirical support from any society, anywhere, that we could be done. Before any place can claim victory they have to make it through their traditional flu season.

You can do a year on year comparison to compare deaths. Last year, Portugal had the same number of cases with a similar acceleration on October 21st. This year the 7 day death average is 11. Last year it was 15. So about a 33% improvement. Good, but what happens if/when cases go higher? Portugal already vaccinated everyone.
That happened to me recently!

I Googled a problem and then found my own answer from years ago!

That's true but it's also true that the transportation to parts of Boston sucks and outside of it it quickly becomes impossible to get around without a car.
Maybe it's just me, but evaluating my subscriptions every month sounds like discussing OS upgrades with friends - normal people just don't do that. I sign up, and then leave it on autopay until they do something I find abhorrent enough to cancel my subscription (I'm looking at you, NYtimes). Which is why subscriptions are so lucrative - people don't regularly check their subscriptions on a monthly basis.

(Not saying this is the most fiscally responsible position to take, just a far more 'normal' one.)
The more I learn about swift, the more I like it.
Sigh, being an old geezer here I can't shake the feeling every other show HN post is stuff we did 20 years ago just reinvented (sometimes wastefully). Yes, we had 3D on the web then. It was called VRML. We didn't have Svelte but somehow UI work didn't take years and an army of coders to put together. Something went funny in the last couple of decades. Back then I thought we'd be coding much cooler stuff in 20 years.
I came to UNIX via a v7 clone, Mark Williams' Coherent, back in 1991. I have used UNIX and UNIX-like OSs (Linux after 2001) as my everyday system ever since.

After discovering how primitive the much-vaunted Windows 3.1 was, back in the early 1990s, I never went through a 'Windows as my everyday OS' phase at all.

More seriously, Is of little issues here. You setup and it works, so is not something that lead to "generate content" like other setups.

I found only a significant issue (to me) (https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/596) but then I do something that have never done in long time with a JS library: I poke into the source and fix it myself. Far easier than expected! (ie: The code is plain!)

Some style guides call for that.

To me, it's bogus. Capitalize both, or neither. (Yes, I know, some have a hand-wavy rationalization about how "Black" is a cohesive something whereas "White" is not. I strongly suspect that it's bogus.)

I worked a job that went from busy all day, every day, to showing up and waiting for things to break over a decade as a system administrator. I tried to help improve the way things were done with their database, wrote a ton of code, 3 different times, and immediate needs always trumped long term fixes.

It broke me. I have no motivation these days as a result.
I can tell you why it won’t work in one word: China.

China wants centralized control and will use any means to achieve that in the long term. Even if you somehow bypass Western Democracies, China will always be lurking, ready to use physical means.

The only thing keeping them in check, at the moment, is the threat of military force that they haven’t found a way around.

Yet.
What people don't understand is that all the seeming bullshit is there for a reason. The long zig-zagging line you have to walk through is so that cameras get shots of everybody at multiple angles. The slow pacing is so that there is time to run searches through databases implemented with 2001-era technology. You stand around for a few minutes between a wall of guards and a mass of people with your shoes and your belt off so if someone is identified they can't easily make a run for it. Bags and other items are placed onto a conveyor so that targets don't have access to their items when confronted. People are frequently pulled aside so that it doesn't freak everyone out when an actual target gets pulled aside.

Yeah, maybe if some idiot packs an AK47 in their carry on the TSA will catch them, but in general all the inspection is just theater. The TSA is there to stop previously identified individuals, who may be terrorists, or potentially criminals, or other "people of interest" from moving freely. They don't harass you because they're incompetent, they harass you because it is useful for their purposes to do so.
Beside the demographics, another aspect is that even with low birth rates, salaries in Japan don't seem to have much growth over the past say 20 years, and you are starting to see trends to have companies work lower hours -- which likely will see either flat GDP or potential lower GDP. Japan has been hit with a ton of competition in many big industries by their neighbors like China, South Korea, Taiwan, and others. So I don't personally have any information, but I could guess that with those prevailing forces / trends being well known in Japan, I wonder if many brands are willing to accept smaller margins to avoid passing on costs to consumers, or something similar? Would be great if anybody knew more details -- like if you produce some goods in Japan, do you see that costs are rising, but do not want to increase prices?

I'm sure the military has better than average tech when it comes to security, but I wonder if they're agile enough to embrace the rapid technological change that is necessary to stay on the bleeding edge. These days when I hear military + security in the same sentence I think of aging warships running windows 2000, using oddball niche technology supplied by equally oddball government contractors/vendors.

There are people like that. I did it a couple of times. I'm more annoyed when the scroll is hijacked but it won't let you replay an animation.
For laptop usage, it's an amazing feat.

But it's kind of a strained comparison. Power usage doesn't scale linearly with performance for any CPU (power consumption scales with the square of voltage) so squeezing the last 20% of performance out of a desktop chip could require doubling the power consumption. Which is actually find for a desktop because I really don't care if my CPU consumes 100-200W for a few minutes while doing a compile. But trying to compare performance-per-watt between two parts tuned for different parts of the power/efficiency curve is always going to be misleading.

If we wanted to compare straight across, comparing to AMD's mobile Ryzen parts would make more sense.

AMD has a 35W mobile part that isn't all that far behind the M1 parts: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/11001445
I guess I'm a bit odd, but what I really want is a split version of Apples Magic Keyboard- extremely thin/flat and small, but with enough keys that I don't have to learn layers to type. I'm using a Kinesis Freestyle2 keyboard now, and, while I appreciate how comfy it is, it takes up a good portion of my desk.

I wonder how Remix ranks next to Blitz.js[1] or Redwood.js[2].
They seem like they're all trying to do similar things.

Presumably there are people who are in charge of designing the ranking algorithm, so they would look at the #1 spot, but they would also look have to look at numbers 2 through 1 billion, and evaluate over long timescales and have a lot of reports, and compare how one algorithm performs vs another one.

Maybe they've already evaluated and decided that they're ok with #1 being off, if the majority of everything else performs better. Doesn't really make any difference per se what is #1. And then even if you want to stop X becoming #1, you'll never truly understand the myriad of butterfly chain events that caused us to get here, and how do you know even if you've solved this one issues, you haven't just ruined everything else.
I think the point here is it's not practical to build enough lanes to ever saturate demand someplace like LA, so it would make sense to build other options besides driving your car everywhere (and then make these options more attractive than driving). These will of course induce demand of their own, but it's easier to meet just because each person traveling in his own car is one of the least space-efficient means of getting around imaginable. That's not necessarily a big deal in the middle of the day, but at rush hour, with countless people heading in the same direction, it doesn't necessarily make sense to keep doubling down on the same strategy over and over.
> We already know that the M1 Max CPU should have really strong matrix multiplication performance due to Apple's "hidden"/undocumented AMX co-processor embedded in the CPU complex, and that it is leveraged when you use Apple's Accelerate framework

Does this hold for the M1 Pro?
No, I do understand this.

Some sort of type which exposes __shared__ semantics will need to be exposed in the rust-cuda crate. Clearly this isn't just type-level stuff, but the way rust exposes features like that is usually through a new type.

Cuda-rust will probably add (probably does already) some sort of inline assembly the same way that the spirv-rust toolchain does, and through that, a "Shared" type will be able to be implemented.
I've been eyeing the Djinn for a while, a "while" that corresponds with the crazy chip shortage. So I've put it on the back burner, but anyone build this or another keyboard recently? How's it look for the parts these days?
Ask HN: How to negotiate equity for a side-project turned startup?
Context: I've been working on what started as a side-project with a few really smart and creative folks for around a year. They've recently decided to go full-time on this project since we've honestly created a stellar product and looks like getting funding won't be a big problem for the seed round. Even though I'm super passionate about this project, given the US H1-B regulation and the fact that my day job is sponsoring my green card application, I can't leave my work or even work for another company while being employed by my current employer.

Question: So, how do I go about negotiating some equity for all the work I've put in over the past year and what would be a reasonable number to ask?

tl;dr Side project is turning into a startup and I can't legally work on it anymore because of visa rules. How do I go about negotiating equity in this startup?
> But the fact that you're even mentioning your desktop in the same breath is kind of the whole reason it is amazing. Like that's the rhetoric--holy shit your laptop is doing this.

The problem with this take is this:

https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2685?vs=2613

This is mobile vs. desktop Zen 2 with the same number of cores. You give a CPU three times the power budget and it gets marginally faster. Because the last few hundred MHz of clock speed uses a ton of power, and that's it.

But then you have this:

https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2613?vs=2666

Nearly double the multi-threaded performance at the same TDP, because it has twice as many cores and it only has to give back the last few hundred MHz of base clock to do it.

A laptop with performance largely equivalent to <= 8-core desktops wasn't a novelty. What a desktop really gets you is the ability to have a lot more cores.
Gmail is a small percentage of the mail in/out of my inbox, because those are mostly personal hand-written emails. There's probably a few businesses that Google Apps that I've communicated with, but there aren't many.

Most of the email exchanged with my account is with mass mailing platforms, of which there's more than a few. Business/marketing email hasn't consolidated as much as the consumer market has.
Yes, of course, but (a) it's a joke, not a guide to best practices, and (b) to me, from a kind of Rip Van Winkle perspective, it's ironic because something like Android Studio makes refactoring so much easier.

Any chance you could share an example in a codesandbox? I realize that might be asking a lot, so no worries, but I'm super curious to see it.
i find this whole in-screen fingerprint reader trend to be pretty funny. isn't glass excellent for capturing fingerprints?

i suspect biometrics like fingerprints may play a role in the future, but the role they would play is more convenience in cases where the device knows its in a trusted environment. (that is, there will be more attention on devices tracking whether they've been separated from their owner, or if their owner is not behaving like their owner, and if so, requiring additional challenge)

either that or we'll all be carrying keys. there are some cool wearables i've seen out there that i think talk nfc.
That is the tricky bit isn't it. In other aspects of life we clearly accept a certain amount of death and injury risk so as to allow things to happen.

Think cars, motorbikes, planes etc. They do all result in events where people die. But we keep them because they provide a lot of utility to many many people.

My view: Lockdowns absolutely help avoid disasters. But they are a temporary measure.

Lockdown while people get vaxxed, procedures updated and social adoption of masks can occur and any other handy measure. Then the lockdowns have to be eased to shift the risk mitigation load onto these other measures.

This is a complicated task. Every country/zone will have different trade offs. Everyone will have an opinion backed by an example from somewhere else.

I think the best we can do is:

- avoid disaster

- give people a fair and equitable chance to save themselves via vaccination

- implement sensible measures where possible/socially acceptable

- open up slowly, adjust as neccessary

- sadly, let the deliberately, knowingly unvaccinated fall as they may. While avoiding disaster...
Remix might be a few years too late to be honest.

After watching the session, there does not appear to be any significant differences from Next.
Yep. Some of us still use the PgUp/PgDn keys, even! I don't ever remember encountering a scrolling animation that handled them sensibly.
As an aside (and as a Python/Flask user on several past projects) I'd also recommend taking a look at FastApi. (https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/)

I've not used it in depth yet, but from a poke around the overall design and syntax seem very nicely thought out (much more logical/intuitive than Flask, honestly) and it's very fast.
No, there are already a variety of uses of the term ownership. For example, copyright ownership, license ownership, or physical ownership. There isn’t a single definition, and the definitions of ownership have always been contextual and evolve based on things like norms and technological changes.

The ownership of NFTs is the ability to assert you control the keys of a wallet pointing to a tuple that pairs, for example, a URL to a smart contract. Both of these elements in the tuple then confer certain things by proxy: the URL a proxy to the work, and the smart contract a proxy to an authority. Once that linkage is accepted by a third party, then it serves as a form of semantic ownership with contextual benefits (there are several contemporary realized and theoretical future ones.)
Cool! I like the knobs!

Where are you getting your parts (PCB, etc) and/or keyboards assembled?
I had this on my machine the other day (while developing with Plotly in webGL mode).

A proper restart fixed it. Happened after installing some system updates, so if you’re on a Ubuntu (or downstream) distro maybe give that a shot. I think something just got left in a bad state post-update.

MacOS had great game support for a while, but axing 32-bit libraries and refusing to adopt Vulkan led big players like Valve to drop support for MacOS in many of their programs. For a short while with Mojave, you could reliably play 80% of the PC games on Steam though.
> The community of crypto investors who tried and failed to buy a copy of the U.S. Constitution last week has descended into chaos as people are realizing today that roughly half of the donors will have the majority of their investment wiped out by cryptocurrency fees.

Web 3.0 in a nutshell.

If anyone would like a glimpse into the near to mid future, one is available today.

A problem that could have easily been solved without any blockchain, instead got a bunch of people hyped group-thinking "it'll be better with blockchain". And in the end found out that a "distributed ledger" isn't actually magic pixie dust that makes problems disappear. And frequently (like here) makes problems worse.

Minor nit-pick if the article's author is on HN:

It's a 'Vicious Cycle' - 'vicious' meaning bad, nasty.

'Viscous' means 'thick' or 'slow-moving', as in 'a viscous liquid like honey'
The not sure about the multi purpose thing- it might be prohibited by zoning in a lot of spaces by master plans, but it’s been actively encouraged for the last 10-20 years most places I’ve been, at least in infill areas. Also, the lack of “multi-purpose” development can be misleading, as “good” zoning does mix in commercial lots with housing, but they end up developed separately on different lots. The suburban development I live is walking distance to a shopping center with a grocery store, several restaurants, a services, and a park. That’s not 100% common here, but it wasn’t hard to find. The cost was reasonable to, at least until 2020 made the entire market go crazy, regardless of walkability.

> They all look complicated and require lots of configs and plumbing to get started.

I felt the same way so I made my own full-stack "framework" just for me centered around the Svelte component library which I love:

https://github.com/Glench/full-stack-svelte-prototype/

Been using it in production and really really happy with it. Obviously kind of stinks to not have community support but so far it hasn't been a huge issue.

It basically sets up all the crap that I don't want to have to think about while keeping a tight coupling between the front-end and back-end (which is how I develop) — clear separation of code that runs on the server vs the client (with code splitting and CSS generation), rendering pages on server and hydrating client components, communicating between the server and client, re-rendering components when new data arrives. It really fits my needs well.

if you thing you are stupid and everyone else is just like you - more or less- you're being humble IMO.

If you assume you're smarter than everybody else, you're being arrogant, if you assume everybody else is smarter than you, you're insecure.

Assuming everyone is stupid is the same thing that assuming that everybody is smart.

If everybody is smart, smart must be a common trait, nobody is special.

Someone can still be smarter or less smart than you.

But on average assuming we're all on the same level is not bad.

Except if you assume that everyone is smart, people will think that they are the only one being really smart

The bias works differently in the two cases: of course XKCD got this right (the XKCD guy is way smarter than me)
