Audio beacons aren't plausible to me as a mobile app developer. Mobile OSes have been tightening their privacy controls for quite some time. At this point you can't run an Android app in the background without the user knowing. You have to explicitly request access to the microphone. In recent Android and iOS versions, the user will be notified about which apps used the microphone when. Besides, constantly recording and analyzing an audio stream would have a noticeable effect on battery life.
While this shows that talent has left, I don't think that the quote about "most of Apple's top talent has left" is quite well explained by this article. Your comment make it seem like there's hardly anyone left and all they can do now is delay the competition with exclusive contracts... which is quite a leap.
Machines from ASML.

ASML can only build so many machines... IIRC, there is also a loop here because ASML needs advanced chips to make those chipmaking machines.

I'll agree the pins could have been made a bit thicker and they do bend a bit, say, if you step on them with shoes. But the earth pin is definitely not optional - it is not present if a device is double insulated, but must be present if the device is not (even though the live and neutral pins are angled so you can't plug it in upside down, and the neutral is grounded in the switch box - you still have the separate protective earth pin on the cable to every device that needs it in case the wall socket is wired incorrectly).

I'm not sure what you mean about plugging it at a slightly wrong angle, I haven't experienced that (in ~25 years of using Australia plugs).

If land price rises there, then it is inefficient to use the land just for a family house, instead it make sense to build there an aparment building. So land value tax works by pricing out as supposed.
Scaling up fabs is eye-wateringly expensive and, more importantly, depends on a supply chain of boutique equipment manufacturers. All the money in the world won't build a new cutting-edge fab in 3 months, or even 6.
It might not be clear yet how long booster shots offer additional protection. If it is only a few month or a year, expect the validity to be based on that. If it turns out that immunity does not really wane after a booster shot then maybe they are not getting any validity period at all or a rather long one instead.

> instead of referring to some random story that is not relevant

Absolutely relevant, by analogy. Pangloss (the character from Candide) is presented as a counter-argument to an overly optimistic view of the world. Pangloss's overly optimistic view dismisses all evidence that this is an imperfect world based on a nebulous and unprovable idea that the world is already as good as it can be. hjtkfkfmr's overly optimistic view dismisses all evidence that this is an inefficient market based on a nebulous and unprovable idea that the market is already as efficient as it can be.

> suggest why it doesn't exist

Sure, here's a list of reasons, any one of which is sufficient for hjtkfkfmr's argument to be invalid. Some of these are general statements about the efficient market hypothesis, and some are arguments about it being inappropriately applied to cases outside of an idealized stock market.

* The efficient market hypothesis assumes that all information needed to evaluate a product has already been disseminated. If somebody is unaware of the extent of advertisements that are present in a device, then they may make a decision that doesn't represent their actual preferences.

* The efficient market hypothesis assumes that all information needed to evaluate a product exists at the current time. Since manufacturers and developers can push software updates that change or remove features (e.g. Youtube being removed from Roku, or the "Install Other OS" feature being removed from the PS3), your typical customer who cannot foretell the future cannot accurately evaluate a product.

* The efficient market hypothesis is a statement about the market at equilibrium. This doesn't apply to reality, which is not at an equilibrium state (e.g. technology development, wars, pandemics).

* The efficient market hypothesis assumes that there are sufficiently many actors in a market to test all possible products that could be developed.

* The efficient market hypothesis assumes that an object's worth to an individual can always be assigned a monetary value, and those monetary values can be compared across individuals. That is, if a poor person is willing to spend $10 on a limited resource (e.g. food to survive), while a wealthy person is willing to spend $1000 on that same resource (e.g. food to waste for their amusement), then the "efficient" allocation is to give it to the wealthy person.

* The efficient market hypothesis assumes that there exists a free market. A market in which competitors are bought out and never actually reach the consumers is not a free market.

* The efficient market hypothesis assumes that there are no barriers to entry. If barriers to entry exist, such as the hardware/software design time needed to start a product, the number of people with expertise to perform that design, the number of manufacturers with availability to construct the hardware, etc, then those reduce the number of suppliers of a product, and so an idea may not reach the market.
Pihole?
Not saying you're wrong, but an alternate interpretation was that Apple was just leveraging their large order size to get to the front of the line because they want to make products to sell. If you're TSMC, who are you going to favour - the large single customer who's guaranteeing order size over a period of time, or several smaller customers?
Having something plugged in but switched off while working on it sounds pretty dangerous.

I always unplug things before working on them. It's too easy to think something is switched off when it isn't, or to flick a switch without thinking.

Mathematics is a lingo and notations are mostly convention. Luckily people generally follow the same conventions, so my best advice if you want to learn about a specific topic is to work through the introductory texts! If you want to learn calculus find an introductory college text. Statistics? There are traditional textbooks like Introduction to Statistical Learning. The introductory texts generally do explain notation which may become assumed knowledge for more advanced texts, or as you seem to be wanting to read, academic papers. If those texts are still too difficult, then maybe move down to highschool text first.

Think about it this way. A scientist, wanting to communicate his ideas with fellow academics, is not going to spend more than half the paper on pedantics and explaining notations which everyone in their field would understand. Else what is the purpose of creating the notations? They might as well write their formulas and algorithms COBOL style!

Ultimately mathematics, like most human-invented languages, is highly tribal and has no fixed rules. And I believe we are much richer for it! Mathematicians constantly invent new syntax to express new ideas. If there was some formal reference they had to keep on hand every time they need to write an equation that would hamper their speed of thought and creativity. How would one even invent something new if you need to get the syntax approved first!

TL;DR: Treat math notation as any other human language. Find some introductory texts on the subject matter you are interested in to be "inducted" into the tribe

> Out of honest interest, where did they fail to honor "7.3.1 Finding an Account URL Given a Key"?

Well... it doesn't work. Let me quote the RFC:

> If the server receives a newAccount request signed with a key for
which it already has an account registered with the provided account
key, then it MUST return a response with status code 200 (OK) and
provide the URL of that account in the Location header field.

With ZeroSSL you could only call `newAccount` once; any subsequent call will fail, while according to the RFC it should return the URL of the account. So you have to either a) use their proprietary API to recover the URL (I sent them a bug report for this and that's what they basically told me), or b) save the URL along with the account key (which you don't have to do for any other ACME provider).
I am more interested in the youtube content than the marketing.

It seems to be a form of martial art, but is it a performance or combat? I don't see any video on sparing, so it doesn't seem to be a functional combat art.
This is my 3rd post on HN just trying the waters.

I don't know why it boomed like that so this is going to be the shortest case study ever:

We Got Over 1k Pageviews In 30 Minutes Just By Posting On Hacker News

The end
A coup organized by a cult with 200.000 members, who mostly obtained positions in government via nepotism. That shouldn't look so outlandish considering what happened in South Korea.

Also to say, sacking people with cult involvement had universal support. The opposition parties always held very strong anti-cult positions for ever.

Funnily enough, the cult itself was involved in destruction of political opposition via conspiracy (the Balyoz case) back when they were besties with the ruling party.
> They really should just use a simpler example, like 10_000_000 being easier to read as "10 million" than 10000000.

Declarations such as `$million = 1000 * 1000;` or `$seconds_in_day = 24 * 3600;` are very common, and in my opinion more readable than the ignored-underscore syntax.
Naively, I would say the following:

1) Search youtube for multiple videos by different people on the topic you want to learn. Watch them without expecting to understand them at first. There is a delayed effect. Each content creator will explain it slightly differently and you will find that it will make sense once you've heard it explained several different times and ways.

I will read the chapter summary for a 1k page math book repeatedly until I understand the big picture. Then I will repeated skim the chapters I least understand until I understand its big picture. I need to know the terms and concepts before I try to understand the formulas. I will do this until I get too confused to read more then I will take a break for a few hours/days and start again.

2) You have to rewrite the formulas in your own language. At first you will use a lot of long descriptions but quickly you will get tired and you will start to abbreviate. Eventually, you get the point where you will prefer the terse math notation because it is just too tedious to write it out in longer words.

3) You might have to pause the current topic you are struggling with and learn the math that underlies it. This means a topic that should take 1 month to learn might actually take 1 year because you need to understand all that it is based on.

4) Try to find an applied implementation. For example photogrammetry applies a lot of linear algebra. It is easer to learn linear algebra if you find an implementation of photogrammetry and try to rewrite it. This forces you to completely understand how the math works. You should read the parts of the math books that you need.

I like the Brazilian standard: https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/IEC60906-1.html :

- It has a ground pin and
- it is very safe: when the contact is established all conducting parts are already hidden, untouchable by operator's hands.

But it has one flaw: you can't change the orientation of the male plug. This sometimes leads to awkward positions of devices or female plugs that get inaccessible because it is covered by another device.

A simple solution could be: the female plug could have 2 ground holes, this way the male plug would be able to connect in two different orientations. Anyone knows of a plug that has this feature?
I hear this question asked quite often, particularly on HN. I think the question is quite backwards. There is little value alone in learning "math notation", even ignoring what many people point out (there is no one "math notation"). "Math notation", at best, translates into mathematical concepts. Words, if you will, but words with very specific meaning. Understanding those concepts is the crux of the matter! That is what takes effort – and the effort needed is that of learning mathematics. After that, one may still struggle with bad (or "original", or "different", or "overloaded", or "idiotic", or…) notation, of course, but there is little use in learning said notation(s) on their own.

I've been repeatedly called a gatekeeper for this stance here on HN, but really: notation is a red herring. To understand math written in "math notation", you first have to understand the math at hand. After that, notation is less of an issue (even though it may still be present). Of course the same applies to other fields, but I suspect that the question crops up more often regarding mathematics because it has a level of precision not seen in any other field. Therefore a lot more precision tends to hide behind each symbol than the casual observer may be aware of.
I don’t think so. This is the failure of having a choke point in semiconductor manufacturing and centralisation of all manufacturing infrastructure. No business is going to turn down the largest pile of cash being thrown at them. AMD and Qualcomm could of course have invested heavily in reducing this risk but no, they didn’t.
Well. I went the other way, I bought known compatible devices. In my case the inofficial name is "OBI socket 2", from the (German) OBI home improvement store. It's about 10€ a piece.

That said, if your device is based on some kind of Espressif ESP32 module, you might be able to find the right four pins on the circuit board and find or cobble together a configuration to talk to the I/O ports. Hardware required is a (usually USB) RS232 interface at 3.3 volts, some medium-thin cables, screwdriver, soldering iron, probably multimeter to check things. The firmware flashing and WiFi setup are fairly independent of the I/O port configuration, so you can flash something that can bring up the WiFi connection and web interface and experiment from there.
Happy Thanksgiving! Hackernews has been a godsend for me and my success as a software engineer is owed in part to this forum.

I grew up the son of an English teacher. As a kid, I was always encouraged to look up words I didn't know in the dictionary. I do the same thing here, just replace words with topics and the dictionary with Google. The sheer amount of topics that I now know "enough to have a conversation about" is insane.

On posts about new versions of libraries, frameworks, languages, services, etc, it is not uncommon to see members of the teams that built them chatting about it in the comments. Hearing from developers directly rather than release notes or marketing dribble is so refreshing.

The holy wars that go on in comments sections are also always entertaining. Honestly, those are probably my favorite part.

I've never found a board/community online that is as high quality, informative in topics I care about, or entertaining as this one. I'm thankful for HN, the mods, and the community here.
Entirely agree, which is why I specified that all four are equal on those points in the premise. Once those are held equal, time, experience, reps, or whatever you want to call it, matters (or you have to find another explanation of how Charlie and Debby didn’t develop in work-related dimensions given the extra time, experience, and reps).
We've been hearing this "they've lost all their CPU talents" claim for literal years, during a period when Apple keeps having win after win. At what point will it start to ring a little hollow?

"somehow delay their competitors from launching new and better chips"

Both AMD and nvidia have designed and built on older processes long after newer process capacity was available to them. They aren't being delayed at all.

Apple committing to production capacity is neither "Apple first", nor is it Apple "delaying" competitors. There is finite production capacity, and customers spread across the available options. There is literally nothing notable or interesting in that.

But once you add words like "Mutiny", you pander to a very gullible crowd.
Many thanks for this. Rooting my LG TV with rootmy.tv took a few seconds and now I am enjoying YouTube without ads which Pihole was never able block properly.

We're in the middle of a chip shortage, though.

I agree.

Developer speed does not get enough coverage when comparing languages.

When I work with a Node project it's such a slow dragging build process.

Using PHP is like a fun superpower that lets me turn out things on timescales that are borderline miraculous to clients and management.
It is incredibly expensive to expand microchip production capacity. You need extremely large, extremely clean clean rooms filled with expensive machines from ASML and other vendors for the well over 1.000 different steps that need to be done for a modern chip. And then you need staff to operate these machines.
That is the most common in datacenters, but there are other configurations. 3-phase power is becoming common. Some others.

Twistlocks are also used a lot in Theater lighting, and movie/tv production.

Also, some generators.

But yes, in general, not so common for residential, and only certain commercial tasks.
At least we did end up standardising many things on IEC C8 (figure-8 socket on all sorts of low-amperage, non grounded devices) and IEC C14 socket (on computers, servers, etc.) and quite a lot of equipment is tolerant of either 110V/60Hz and 230V/50Hz systems.
As somebody who lived almost 5 years in Germany... I never seen that famous Germany efficiency. Except maybe when its used to sell high quality ( but over priced...) cars.

You can always keep the old.

However I don't think it is something that will ever be done, designing a good standard library is quite difficult, especially by email and rfc.

I think it is better if the community designs one that gets a lot of traction to become de facto standard. All the large frameworks already has their own standard library.

With the performance improvements to PHP over the years it is no longer a detriment to performance to write a standard library in PHP.

And if we can get the operator overloads rfc passed we can have userland scalar objects

M1 isn't a generational leap for Apple. It is just 7% faster for single core than last year's iphone 12. Apple was already so far ahead of the competitors in the chip department for multiple years.

https://browser.geekbench.com/ios-benchmarks
If Apple can open their war chest (which they created through years of monopolistic actions) and buy capacity, that’s not fair.

AMD didn’t run a monopolistic business with 90%+ profit margins for years, and couldn’t have done so.
Well, they can't move to 5nm because Apple bought basically the entire 5nm production from TSMC.

In other words, they couldn't move to 5nm because they wouldn't be able to procure any significant volume from it. Why bother with 5nm if you wouldn't be able to ship products?

That's exactly why NVIDIA ditched TSMC in favour of Samsung despite their inferior process.
This really doesn't seem true. Maybe Qualcomm, but not AMD.
Gerard Williams claims credit for M1 Pro and M1 PRO Max as well:

> Chief Architect for all Apple CPU and SOC development. For CPU, lead the Cyclone, Typhoon, Twister, Hurricane, Monsoon, Vortex, Lightning and Firestorm architecture work. Chief Architect for Apple MAC hardware platform M1 Pro and M1 Max.

I guess they were in the works long before he left.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerard-williams-iii-27895aa
Probably a little bit of both.
Because Apple had bought 100% of 5nm capacity, and so no capacity at 5nm was available to AMD?
