That you can program in x86 SIMD in a high-level language and find it intuitive to use is remarkable. It was not designed for that and exposes primitives which make more sense for assembly-level and automatic compiler optimization. Cray, on the other hand, has a vector ISA that is explicitly designed for integration into high-level languages. You basically write a "for loop" like instruction which sets up the source and dest arrays, then do regular scalar operations (add, multiply, etc.) using virtual source & destination registers. It feels just like coding the CPU's integer APU. The CPU itself handles the magic of parallelizing these operations across its vector units.

So sorry I was a bit confused because Cray/RISC-V is explicitly designed to be easy to use from high-level languages in a way that x86's SSE et al were not. So I thought maybe you had mixed up the two in your question or something. But I guess you just haven't had the pleasure of working with a Cray before!

I see videos with more dislikes than likes pretty regularly when searching for tutorials or DIY videos. Avoiding those has surely saved me a lot of time.
Woah cool! Thanks for sharing, this actually reminds me of this quote:

The essence of money is … the mediating activity or movement, the human, social act by which man’s products mutually complement one another, is estranged from man and becomes the attribute of money, a material thing outside man. Since man alienates this mediating activity itself, he is active here only as a man who has lost himself and is dehumanised; the relation itself between things, man’s operation with them, becomes the operation of an entity outside man and above man. Owing to this alien mediator – instead of man himself being the mediator for man – man regards his will, his activity and his relation to other men as a power independent of him and them. His slavery, therefore, reaches its peak. It is clear that this mediator now becomes a real God, for the mediator is the real power over what it mediates to me. Its cult becomes an end in itself. - Karl Marx

I would interpret it as meaning: We're not going to curb our current bad habits; we're not going to stop the current trend...therefore we have come up with new / different ways to reverse (with changing modern conveniences) and eventually "outrun" the trend.

Yeah, it sounds silly to me as well.
> Well lucky you, we have the exact 100% polar opposite of that system currently. I think it would be fine to move toward it a little.

I'm skeptical of the notion that outing public officials (when the blackmail material is personal in nature as posited by the GP) would move toward that goal.

I don't even think an exception should be made for material that would expose hypocrisy in policy-making (eg. 'pro-life' lawmakers that have had or facilitated an abortion).

Straight-up crimes though (bribery, corruption, theft, insider trading, etc.), sure.
It’s a crappy truth, but you’re right in some respects. I did convince myself of this when it happened, and just acknowledged that eBay was a service I’ll probably never have access to.

Someone else I know and trust offered to sell it for me after I told them I was banned. They have legitimate sales and positive seller reputation that they’ve made, but I was absolutely not willing to risk their seller account getting banned too.

Shoot, they’ll probably get banned at some point too, because we have used the same IP at least once.

eBay failing to provide a functional chat and verification service to correct wrongful bans is the problem here. A company needs to provide a process for resolving its mistakes. People will stop using their service.

70k per year is less than we spend keeping someone in prison, which is where many people believe we should put drug addicts. The truth is it’s not about the money, people just don’t want to see other people suffering where they live.

As a society, even spending all this money, we are failing to help some of our most vulnerable citizens. It’s quite telling that conversations about social safety nets always become about money rather than reducing harm effectively.

Show HN: Technical demo of 2D puzzle “PWM Simulator” (open source)
Here is a technical demo of my open-source game. It lacks a menu and any settings, and the graphics are highly sketchy. My main goal was to test the idea of the gameplay.

Summary:

The blue plot displays a random analog signal. The light green plot displays the signal derived from the digital signal (see below) by passing it through an RC circuit.

The digital signal is generated by the user: when the mouse button is pressed, the signal level becomes logical high, when the mouse button is released, the signal level becomes logical low.

The goal of the game is to replicate the shape of the blue plot by the light green plot as close as possible.

If you've logged in from the same computer to an account that was suspended, or share some of the same contact information, then that information can be used to link your legitimate account to a suspended account. The above email happened to me when my ex-girlfriend's mom got her account suspended. I had not talked to those people in a decade. I paid $400 or something along those lines to be able to talk to a live person as part of the eBay seller Anchor subscription to get my case reviewed immediately.
These supply chains have existed since the early 90s, and it's kind of amazing that the only change since then is that carding now requires marginally sophisticated hacking. Up until the mid-2000s, the primary carding method was Google. There were many early shopping cart systems that stored card and customer information as plain text, and those text files were publicly accessible by default. It was so easy to google for credit cards, that you could actually find cards for a specific person if you wanted.

I wonder if there are any additional back story? Sounds like he bought large number of Apple gift cards during the black friday sale and then added them to the iTunes account in short amount of time. However, there are limits in place so it’s difficult to purchase that many. If any of the gift cards were bought by others on Amazon/Target/Best Buy and re-sold to him, and the original purchaser committed fraud in obtaining the gift cards, then the cards may be black listed. This could explain the banning especially if large number of them were originally obtained fraudulently.

SOLVED: This just happened to me earlier today and I just got it fixed. I think there is a glitch in the system. I got emails saying bids on items already paid for and received had been cancelled. Then I got the suspension email. I went to the help chat in top left of my ebay acct page and explained I have 100% positive reviews and have been a member for years without ever breaking a rule. They apologized and fixed it immediately.

> even in the olden days of pseudoscience on race, obviously people didn't believe that races couldn't interbreed, as they observed such themselves.

They did however believe that there were "purebreeds" of races; that you could objectively categorize people into various races. Mixing races wouldn't create new races, it would only create a mixture of races. As an analogy, you can create metallic alloys from different metallic elements. That won't create new metallic elements though, it will just create new mixtures of the pure elements.

The strongest example of this view is Polygenism. Before Darwin, people were arguing about whether there was a single origin for people or multiple origins corresponding to the assumed races. This

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygenism#Scientific_polygeni...

The person you're responding to is trying to say that humans are a single species, and thus we can't be different races (species). But that is obvious in the modern context and isn't really what people are saying when they talk about race. Today, the argument is over: what are racial categories if they aren't species, and given a definition of race what does it actually tell us?

> If we use the word race for human being it can only mean cultural or other such societal concepts meaning it is a social construction.

> The fact remains that if you run PCA and clustering on genetic data ... you will get groups that generally correspond with Caucasian/SS African/East Asian/Amerindian

The person you're responding to is being very imprecise. There is no one definition of race. It a squishy class of "categorizations I can define which separate europeans, amerindians, africans, and asians". When we create a racial categorization, we are flattening these various categorizations into a single categorization. It is a social construction to choose the most important categories as "europeans, amerindians, africans, and asians" regardless of the categorization you're using.

As an example of the limitations of defining race from genetic clusters, Think of Obama in the U.S. He has a White mother and a Black father, but can you honestly say he is treated as equally White and Black in the U.S.? No, he is treated as predominately Black, even though the genetic view disagrees. You could say that the social definition is wrong and the genetic definition is correct, but you could equally say that your genetic definition fails to describe the social racial categorization.
> In the future, development contracts will be regularly commissioned as open source, and the software will be made public as a matter of principle. There will be a right to encryption, and the state must also offer the option of genuine encrypted communication

Would be neat if they also mandated that all such software must be in a memory-safe language unless there’s no available alternative or there’s a compelling performance reason or the software is well-established/reviewed by experts in the field and no reasonable alternative exists.
I wonder how much of this is due to boomers being suckered by their parents to eradicate their own corporate safety net. These people are in their 70s and can't afford to retire. Many of them enjoy seniority for just existing for so long and they would cost a fortune to lay off under most VSO programs. The term "shoot yourself in the foot" referred to someone with a rifle making an error. That generation decided to use the semiautomatic variety.
To be fair, I dislike a lot of stuff in RISC-V. But there are just so many who won't even bother to read through the spec and start commenting.

I personally considers the complexity of designing a microarchitecture-neutral ISA is beyond comprehension of any single human being. You could be a legendary* microarchitecture designer / compiler developer / application developer, but no one can be all at the same time.

* By legendary I mean across multiple domains, from low-power to high-power to server, from OS to CRUD to HPC.

So those kind of one-liner dismissal is really pale when RISCV spec is full of design rationales. IMO, it should at least include both:

1. Show that the rationale does not exist in spec / rationale is wrong

2. Show that your counter-point is significant enough (used widely and cause a bottleneck)

Otherwise it becomes a joke for those:

1. who complain code size

2. who think add is better than addi for no-op

3. who is the author of an arbitray-precision numerical library and claims RISCV is shit.
I made no assumptions, statements, or implications regarding the cognitive capabilities of students of color. You are incorrectly ascribing beliefs to me. I do believe too many people are going to college. I said people and not students of color.

Do you have any evidence that the vast majority of people can learn calculus in a timely manner? I have a lot of anecdotal evidence that this is simply not true. Please note that I’m making no reference to or claims about students of color. I’m speaking about all people. In my experience a lot of people simply can’t learn calculus to any reasonable definition of what that notion entails.

The requirement of a specific set of knowledge for a degree is not what is wrong. What is wrong is living in a society in which having a degree is increasingly necessary to live at a decent standard.

What problems do you have with CLI apps? In my experience, the problem is whether you're targeting developers (i.e., people that can run pip install <tool>) or end-users (those that just want to run a binary).

Python is hell for the latter. I support Windows and Linux, so I can bend pyinstaller to my will with enough effort, but I need to have a special Windows VM to "cross-compile".

For the former, though, it's a matter of creating a setup.py and telling the user to pip install the repo on GitHub. Or you can use Poetry, which makes things slightly easier.

Very crass statement, esp. considering it's Germany we're talking about.
For a lot of AR/VR devices, the communities around them find ways of conveniently using prescription lenses. There's a pretty common Quest 2 mod, for example, using 3D printing and $10 prescription lenses to allow you to use the device without glasses (the headset itself comes with a glasses spacer, but it's notoriously awful).

The optics for these things in particular are almost never in the actual lenses, so for AR gadgets you can usually just pop them out and replace them, if you've got a way to source compatible lenses.
What does that mean exactly?

It sounds like they're talking about moving climate zone boundaries.
I'm getting really tired of cancer, I have a number of friends and family who have it. Some terminal, some not.

The fact that certain skills atrophy if not used is the brain prioritizing efficient allocation of resources. If you're not making daily and active use of relevant concepts then the only way to reliably remember them is to use spaced repetition on carefully crafted question answer pairs.

Task relevant context residing in an [intermediate-term memory](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6596466/) is built up over time as you gain expertise, it's more durable than working memory but impermanent, unlike long term memory. According to this model, fine details are unfolded in working memory and details not relevant to current attentional focus shift into latent intermediate storage.

Those structures locate the expert at a point where they are quicker and more effective in solving domain relevant problems but also bias which paths are taken in problem solving (such as not noticing you're using a calculator for trivial arithmetic). It's loss is why the same person can write complex algorithms or mathematical proofs and come back months or a year later and be unable to make heads or tail of it.

It's quite likely that long term memory does not store at the same level of detail as intermediate context, relying on inference in recovering into WM. Keeping a notebook of detailed derivations of unintuitive or complex workings reduces the complexity of inference during recall and helps for more successful and reliable recovery of desiccated memories. Notes are also important for things you expect to fall out of intermediate context due to rare use but caused a great deal of headaches to solve.

Tools do have a cost but good tools are net positive. Good tools will be pivotal in an era of exponentially expanding knowledge, fixed human capacities and slowed population growth.

I have a Toyota Camry with lane detection. If it thinks you're on the edge of the lane, it beeps at you and gives the steering wheel a gentle nudge. I think they've given it a perfect balance, because the nudge really is gentle - like a short blast of cross-wind. It doesn't force you into killing yourself like a Tesla.

There's an intersection near my house where they repaved the road this summer. The lane markings on one side of the intersection are about 2 feet offset from the other side of the intersection after they repainted them, and it trips the lane detection about 50% of the time even when I'm actively trying to compensate. I suspect that intersection will become a graveyard of bricked cars once the law comes to pass.
