Probably close to zero? Assuming your code compiles and run on ARM. It is just a matter of whether that operation is fast or slow, or in AWS terms whether it is cost effective since those EC2 instances are priced differently. And that cost includes porting and testing your software on ARM. For a lot of Web Server workload, G2 nearly offer 50% reduction in cost at the same or better performance. At the scale of twitter it absolutely makes sense to move those operation over. There are some workloads that dont like well things like 3D Renderers, or software that has too many x86 specific optimisation and takes too. much man power to port. So yes in that sense it will be a long tail of x86 instances. ( Assuming that is what you are referring to long tail )

> So it's not chaotic like weather is chaotic.

I politely disagree, but my non-expert arguments shouldn't carry much weight. Here's a quote from a 2018 IPCC document instead:

"The climate system is a coupled non-linear chaotic system,
and therefore the long-term prediction of future climate states
is not possible. Rather the focus must be upon the prediction
of the probability distribution of the system’s future possible
states by the generation of ensembles of model solutions." [0]

I'd kind of like to dive in to the topic of whether an "ensemble of model solutions" is a fair and sufficient sampling of the problem space to trust the statistics, but I don't have enough details. However, I have done particle filters before, and when you have more than a few parameters to estimate, you need a shit-ton of particles before you can trust the statistics you get out. And that's with well behaved and fairly linear systems.

Good question. These certification exams all include a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement. In any case, I don't think this could be the result of test-takers recalling questions from memory. We're talking about seeing 100-150 questions, and spending only a minute or so with each one, and many questions involve reading a short paragraph. The "dumps" have the questions and answers verbatim. I think it must be the work of unscrupulous employees at the certification vendors or some of the testing centers.

It is more secure against remote hacking and imposition of a serious negative interest.

In a purely cashless society, the central bank could force a -10 per cent interest on all savings, thus forcing people to spend even if they don't want to.

(This was, for example, discussed on the IMF blog pages: https://blogs.imf.org/2019/02/05/cashing-in-how-to-make-nega...)

This is harder to do in economies where people can take their money out of the bank as cash. There, the lower limit for interest seems to be around -1 per cent.

> I apologize if I'm missing some nuance of this argument, but if it's there it's not apparent.

The nuance is that you're presupposing a frame. There are alternative economic systems to American crony capitalism that give people the results they want without having to surrender to their corporate masters.

If you take the fact that the system we live in was invented by humans for granted, and assume it's the only way things can ever be, you can easily dupe yourself into believing that it's as natural as breathing.

However, just because something is the default choice in modern society doesn't mean it can't be different.

I care about this distinction. It might seem pedantic or stupid to some people. Even if you like capitalism, it's important to recognize it as a choice, not a consequence of natural laws.
>Languages are rarely "slow" or "fast" by themselves.

For sure they are, language features will for sure limit the optimizations a compiler/interpreter can do and for sure a language with many levels of abstractions will have to pay the price in performance somewhere.

Every-time someone improves the benchmark performance of a slow language that person is not a regular developer, but someone that has a deeper understanding on what happens under the hood, knows how to use profiling tools, maybe knows assembly and most of the time they have to use tricks or advanced patterns.

Btw, optimizing some slow language in a hot path with clever tricks or some advanced patterns is fine, it happens all the time, you can;t just switch the project language with 1 click.

That's because Haskell is like the programming language equivalent of The Gig That Changed The World[0], although I guess Algol60 also has a strong claim to that title.

Let me explain by quoting these paragraphs Roger Ebert's review[1] of 24h party people:

> As the film opens, Wilson is attending the first, legendary Sex Pistols concert in Manchester, England. (...) Wilson is transfixed by the Pistols as they sing "Anarchy in the U.K." and sneer at British tradition. He tells the camera that everyone in the audience will leave the room transformed and inspired, and then the camera pans to show a total of 42 people, two or three of them half-heartedly dancing in the aisles.

Sounds like the average language designer entranced and inspired by their first time grokking Haskell.

> Wilson features the Pistols and other bands on his Manchester TV show. Because of a ban by London TV, his show becomes the only venue for punk rock. Turns out he was right about the Pistols. They let loose something that changed rock music. And they did it in the only way that Wilson could respect, by thoroughly screwing up everything they did, and ending in bankruptcy and failure, followed by Sid Vicious' spectacular murder-suicide flameout. The Sex Pistols became successful because they failed; if they had succeeded, they would have sold out, or become diluted or commercial. I saw Johnny Rotten a few years ago at Sundance, still failing, and it made me feel proud of him.

I could rephrase that last sentence at "I checked out a contalk by Simon Peyton Jones from a few years ago, still avoiding success at all costs[2], and it made me feel proud of him" and it would be absolutely true.

And no, I also did not expect to find a parallel between Haskell and punk music, but there you go.

This is exactly right. Vaccine mandates are the problem, as the US government has done for government employees, and Biden is attempting to do for all employers with over 100 employees. Almost every single person agrees the vaccines are a good thing (now that Trump is out of office) but this specific vaccine goes a step further and does not stop the spread of the virus. Some articles and data extrapolation studies claim it reduces the spread by 5 to even 50 percent in some cases, but it is extremely obvious vaccinated are spreading the disease nearly as much as non vaccinated. Since hospitals never were overwhelmed since COVID began, I don’t even know why the US government is still allowed to make the case that we should be in a state of emergency and under emergency rules passed by the president and governors. All of the lockdowns and emergency orders should have been halted until hospitals were actually overwhelmed, not just projected to be overwhelmed. When it is a real emergency the army will need to set up bases or ships to be hospitals, not just a few doctors working overtime, like they always did already.

> Biology has never selected genes to maximize longevity, only to maximize healthy breeding.

That is assumption which is hard to validate. There is a case for longevity as children with longer living dedicated parents in the context of abundant resources will out survive those that are ditched by their parents.

> Delete the notable gene or just make a point mutation to disable it.

The article say that effect is the same with deletion and drug in mice. Why would you delete the gene when you can temporally prevent its function ?

> Delete the notable gene or just make a point mutation to disable it. Treat/wait the cancer into remission.

Yet nobody did nothing remotely close in humans, even for stuff that looks like highly beneficial in all contexts such as GULO gene.

You've never heard someone use "they" in reference to a singular person?!

Sometimes you don't even know who the person referenced, so how do you refer to them?

"I don't know who's in charge but they could learn a thing or two"

"My friend told me his coworker was hurt. I hope they're ok"

Would you really use he or she instead of they in all of these situations? Like just pull a gender out of a hat?
Journalists should strive for neutrality (good ones try to despite what boulevard tells you, they are on a completely different mission) even if they can never reach it. A case where neutrality fails often is deciding what is newsworthy and what is not.

That’s a fundamental misunderstanding of sensible economics.

Cash is a facilitating fluid which should be channeled into diverse investments which are not based on monetary value such as property and resources, not stashed in large piles. Holding any cash in any quantity is a risk. Doesn’t matter if it’s magic numbers in a computer or bits of paper in a mattress.

As for cash only society, sorry but fuck that.

you're getting downvotes which is puzzling because a sibling thread laments the all too common overreach of law enforcement citing the "zwiebelfreunde/CCC" raid. It's perfectly consistent to be suspicious about paying by cash and also wanting to avoid leaking information to advertisers or taking care about security.

There being no transaction history is good (less data/more privacy). Not sure how it's easy to lose. At least I have never lost my cash. And if you lose your wallet for some reason, you also lose your CCs. There is "often" fraud with CCs, with cash that rarely happens, unless it's counterfeit money. Also not sure what you would do with the money that you would damage it. Usually, it's in your wallet or somewhere stored.

Promises that the money will be worth it the next day, sure. But at least I have my cash in my hand (and some stored where I live), so access to it can't just be denied.

Groups are not inherently discrete - there are many continuous groups (called Lie groups) such as the circle, group of rotations in 3D, etc etc. You can also see this turn up in Fourier theory: the discrete Fourier transform has an underlying discrete group, Fourier series for a periodic function are really using the circle group underneath, and the Fourier transform on the real line is using the continuous group of the real line, with addition as the group operation.

Elliptic curves are nice because they are algebraic groups, so by plugging in complex or real numbers you get a continuous group, and by plugging in finite fields you get a discrete group.

I was not complaining about the snippet being offensive. I was saying that it's not based in an honest attempt at rational discourse.

It's performative not informative. It's hyperbole written to evoke a reaction rather than to illuminate. So the HN guidelines for keeping things within the bounds of rational discourse are useless when engaging with it. Not engaging is of course an option, but yet, here we are. I replied to something, your replied to me. And I do feel that just letting irrational things stand when they already have gained some prominence is risky as well (c.f. covid vaccine).

Finally, yes I do find it offensive, and that does not hinge on it offending you. But it's also obviously irrelevant whether I find it offensive.
