Who else has reduced the cost of solar panel manufacturing over the past 10 years? As far as I can tell it's entirely, 100%, Chinese companies. But maybe you know something I don't.

I don't know enough about smartphones, electric cars, conventional cars, reciprocating engines, jet engines, airliners, reusable rockets, or AI to comment on what the big innovations in the last few years are, where they came from, and which ones are being adopted in China. Can you go into more detail?

The most interesting innovations I've seen in CPUs in recent years are from Padauk (China) and RISC-V (everywhere, especially Berkeley, but also including China). NVIDIA seems to be leading in GPUs; like Lam Research, it's an American company with a Chinese-American founder. But now the critical innovation bottleneck seems to be not designing a working CPU design but successfully manufacturing it, and the supreme giant in the field is TSMC, a Chinese company, though Samsung is mostly keeping up. Of course the field is extremely international, which is why we're interested in ASML's fire in the first place.

In terms of crypto, it's an extremely international community, but two of the most significant achievements of the last 20 years were the collision attacks on MD5 and SHA1, which were found at Shandong University, which is in China. (Of course nobody knows where Satoshi is from, but China is near the bottom of the list of possibilities.)

I agree with you about operating systems and programming languages, though of course if you `git annotate` Linux you will find a rather large slice of it is written by people with Chinese names, a lot of whom work at Chinese companies.

As for drugs, well, I explained in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29792057 how far China is from "playing catch up" with respect to covid vaccines. But maybe in other drugs it's true. What are the big new innovations in drugs, and where do they originate?
I never could understand why people pay so much attention to her voice. It's not that deep, I've known plenty of females with voice deeper than what you call 'creepy deep voice'. Such voice is not that rare and definitely not creepy, just voice.

Also some throat infections can temporarily make the voice lower.
I am sure we have been through this many many times on HN. Kliment's comment here [1] with an Auto industry perspective.

Consumer electronics including GPU and consoles demand have increased dramatically due to pandemics. And they use components that uses bigger nodes which are in demand.

>Can automakers not use a 7nm fab?

They could but even 7nm are in short supply.

>How much of the chip shortage can be attributed to AMD and Apple taking the laptop market away from Intel? And if this is true, does this mean that Intel now has unused capacity

Both AMD and Intel are at full capacity. Intel still have server capacity to fill.

Read the Bullwhip effect. [2].

All of that is excluding crypto, and investment / trading ( buying and hoarding ) in semi- components.

I think the quote reads: "Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
For me it's the complete opposite, but your point is still useful in the sense of realising the two approaches aren't equivalent, and can in fact be complementary and produce different thought patterns.

So in my case I would say, be mindful of the difference between the two, and if you're stuck with one approach, don't hesitate to try the other.
Why does either option not require hard evidence? I don’t understand your distinction. Something that happens 60% of the time is almost a hard guarantee that’s that what happened now? Really?

You also ignore all circumstantial human behaviour around this, like China being completely unwilling to cooperate in any way in the investigation. Why? Surely if it was definitely a spillover they would cooperate because it’s not exactly their fault?

Is not it kinda different if you are being lied though? If Holmes were faking her accomplishments and you investments were depending on those then I don't see why this wouldn't be fraud

I appreciate the added context! Not just most Chinese --- as I said, CoronaVac is the most popular vaccine worldwide. Doesn't its lack of authorization in the EU, and its authorization in most of the rest of the world, predate the emergence of Ό?
Yes, that title fits better with the content of the blog post and is a statement I would readily support. Leaving spacing to be the concern of the parent element makes eminent sense, and spacing components is a good way to do that which happens to be used by drag-and-drop editors like Squarespace.
We all have our faults. But we don't need to promote them.

There is also no "t" sound in "often", never was. Some officious busybody thought "offen" and "oft" ought to be related. so put "often" in a dictionary. Now people who don't know any better pronounce it. But it's rare to find anybody trying, foolishly, to say the "b" in debt and doubt.

I doubt anybody tries to pronounce the "l" in "could". That one appears to be the product of busybody typesetters, imagining some parallel with "should" and "would" (related to "shall" and "will"), which also do not get any "l" sound; but "could" is related to "can".
Is 'Theranos' still copyrighted / trademarked, or can it be freely used now?
Long term you're probably right, but I think tunneling services[0] like Cloudflare tunnel or my own boringproxy are going to be what we use for the next 10 years or so.

We're going to have to prove that self-hosting is useful before people start demanding ipv6, public static IPs, and decent upload speeds from their ISPs.

"But a patient does not expect for their blood test results to be completely wrong."

The patient's state of mind, e.g., their expectations, is not an element of wire fraud. Only Holmes' state of mind is relevant; specifically, her intent.
Now if the storage was reliable... Have had too many issues on that side.
Good article, but I have a nitpick with the w-- oh, I see what you did there.
Hmm, well, that was baked-in intent so I don’t quite get the problem. Yes, you could make a marketplace so popular that everyone disregards products not in it.

That’s not “libertarianism for me, not for thee”. That’s literally “libertarianism for both of us”.
with multithreaded rendering, is it possible to use SDL ?

anecdotally, in my cpu based ray-tracers (i have one in c++ and python so far) , i have found that SDL based rendering causes noticeable slowdowns to become quite useless after the initial novelty wears off.
Various links on that page (e.g. https://www.dmi.unict.it/~faro/smart/howto.php) are dead for me, and browsing the source isn’t easy because they release .zip/.tar.gz. files (https://github.com/smart-tool/smart/releases), so I didn’t make that effort, but theoretical algorithms often count character or byte comparisons, not nanoseconds. For the latter, code size and cache-friendliness matter, and the best code almost always must be tuned for one specific CPU, nowadays one specific state of a CPU (do you assume the SIMD hardware is powered up? If it isn’t, is using SIMD for short strings worth it?)

There probably also is a choice to be made as to what cases to optimize most for: length of search string, length of to-be-searched for string, case-sensitivity, diacritics-sensitivity, distribution of results (if, most of the time, the string is found close to the start, decreasing algorithm set up time at the cost of some speed may be worth it). ¿Are there corner cases where locale matters?

(Disclaimer: I'm not very knowledgeable with GPG, I assume that the warning means that the message hasn't been properly signed.)

> I'd rather see "message could not be verified", followed by the decrypted content anyways, rather than not get any output. I know not to trust it, so knowing what it says is useful in terms of threat identification.

You would know not to trust it, but it would be very easy for a novice user without an understanding of the implications to assume that it's just a minor error ("tech sometimes throws errors, but it works anyway, so why worry?"). But it damn sure is not!

My suggestion would be to print an elaborate and strong warning about the implications and provide an option to look at the message if you really know that it should not be trusted in the slightest.

There's a company in Europe, Saule Technologies [1], that is claiming to be already capable of large scale commercialization of perovskites. It seems you can even buy/license it (B2B).
The article seems to suggest that the biggest obstacle for market-readiness for this type of product is endurance. However, Saule on their FAQ website are claiming that their products have an initial lifetime of several years [2].
I also found this article from MIT Technology Review [3] where it's stated that
"Oxford PV, Microquanta, and Saule all say they’ve solved the stability issue, at least well enough to sell their first products."

So, who's right? Is the article overstating the stability problem or are these companies over-promising?

> From the very first moment, he seemed utterly disinterested in the call. He would not look into the camera - never made eye contact... asked questions as if reading from index cards, but registered no recognition of any responses. To me it was obvious that he either did not like me (from before we said hello) or was already determined not to hire me.

Interviewed with three different logistics companies last year and the experience got less and less friendly as I made my way up the chain in each of them. All frowning at me in a "well, I don't know about that" kind of way before we even spoke. Maybe they all had gas, I have no idea what was going on.

English is not my first language so I wouldn't presume I know more than people at Merriam Webster - but that sounds iffy to me. Sure, I don't say deb-t, but isn't the b still there as a plosive / stop? If it were just spelt "det" I feel like it'd have a more prominent t sound.

It also seems strange to say it would have been better to get rid of it when we definitely need the b in "debit" and "debenture", isn't it better to keep the b, if just for clearer etymology?
Yes, there's no future for ICE engine alone in the next 15 years. I hope the automakers will develop their own engines instead of buying engines from external maker, like is now for the tech things (I mean the SoC/CPU/etc... where there're only few makers and all buy from them)
Taxes are low for businesses in Germany if you take the numerous possibilities to deduct things from your taxes into account (effectively lower than in the US). It's just taxes and levies for workers that are high. Tech workers cost way less than in the US. High security for workers also means that your workers won't pull stupid stunts to keep working in your place. Unions can actually worked with and have the companies success in mind.
>Right now I am inclined to just write it in Swift and make it only support the Apple ecosystem where it also would fulfill all my personal needs

I think your gut feeling is probably right. Unless there is a clear and obvious business requirement I would stick with one platform to start with.

All of the cross platform frameworks are compromised (and always will be). Targeting more platforms will be more work. The result won't be as nice.
I think something like a million results were voided as they’re were deemed unreliable. I don’t know if that put anyone at risk though
No, there is nothing there at all. If you look on a sonograph, "debt" and "det" sound exactly identical.

Anybody who imagines English pronunciation should match spelling can't possibly know much of anything about English.

Let's not get started on how many British pronounce "drawing".
Fun but also infuriating at times for me. Without spoiling, when the characters were being presented with evidence as strong as possible that X occurred because of Y and not Z they kept scratching their heads wondering if Z wasn't the cause of X after all. They were at times more stupid than a gang of drunken teenagers in an 80s horror movie, not top class scientists, astronauts and soldiers. What I kept wondering is, what am I missing? Is this a cultural difference? Is the translation difficult?

Simplest explanation, it's just not great writing/directing.
> If you'd like to eventually harden the binary implementations, you might also be interested in coverage-guided fuzz testing which feeds random garbage data to a method to try and find errors in it: https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html

Yes, I plan to fuzz the hell out of the reference implementation once it's done. So much to do, so little time...

> I see, so the main use case of the CTE text format is rapid prototyping, and then the user should convert to the CBE binary format in production?

CTE would be for prototyping, initial data loads, debugging, auditing, logging, visualizing, possibly even for configuration (since the config would be local and not sourced from unknown origin). Basically: CBE when data passes from machine to machine, and CTE only where a human needs to get involved.

> Another approach would be to embed the grammar and parser into an existing language like Python, Rust, or Haskell, and let the user define their own custom types in that language.

I demonstrate this in the reference implementation by adding cplx() type support for go as a custom type. Then people are free to come up with their own encodings for their custom needs (one could specify in the schema how to decode them). I think there's enough there as-is to support most custom needs.

> maybe it would make sense to create a small set of core types (kind of like a standard library), and then permit extensions via user-defined types which must be whitelisted?

I thought about that, but the complexity grows fast, and then you have a constellation of "conformant" codecs that have different levels of support, which means you can now only count on the minimal set of required types and the rest are useless. The fewer optional parts, the better.
the c# code is looking a lot like C with the goto’s. Great to see this style in c#.
For the COPV alone. If we can ignore the associated hardware, a flask with some lithium could do 11kWh/Kg, if only it were to combust with the surrounding air in a spontaneous Li-Air cell.

Aside from mass, volume is fundamental on a terrestrial EV, it reduces storage capacity, comfort and range at highway speeds. That's why a Tesla can have two trunks, while the Mirai is limited to just 5 Kg of fuel.
> validating ideas is (relatively) easy

My experience has been totally different here.

We found people to be biased toward being polite. So we found "being excited" was a bad signal for what to build.

The best signals were when people offerred things that actually cost something e.g. reputation (by putting us in touch with important people), money or time (if they're people who valued their time highly).

We still haven't found any crazy level of growth though so maybe it is easy and we're just doing it wrong. Who knows.
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply anything about your specific situation or any other specific situation. There's absolutely room in the world for both situations to happen. (And I certainly didn't mean to imply you were boring. You've held my attention long enough :-) )

It's just that I see the sentiment repeated online rather a lot, while whenever I see the situation crop up offline, it's usually someone zoning out of an uninteresting conversation. I felt that observation and viewpoint needed some representation online.
It's mainly due to the fact that streaming took over the world almost completely,and ktv attached very well to this phenomenon.Korean drama has always been good(it's very similar and reminiscent of eastern european drama, which is very dark[arguably from the post-war,ex-eastern-bloc mentality which in SK somewhat doesn't wash away due to NK] but realistic ,often inspired from truth; which makes it attractive), and compared to 5-10 years ago where you'd have a lot of fantastic and (sometimes overly-)romantic series, somewhat similar to chinese or even indian pictures, they detached from that and instead adopted a more western/US style, though still remaining different.This is a cultural shift in general so it was to be expected.

The subjects have changed, the transition from other streaming platforms to netflix (k-tv was big in the streaming world before netflix took over the planet) was very easy for the ktv audience, and why not let's mention the uncomfortable obvious here: it did not go woke, due to which they have a lot of success amongst western audience.
Who would want to use it?

The last word on figs must be the amazing documentary The Queen of Trees (2005), about a single fig tree in Africa, and the animals that live in, on and around it. Includes incredible footage of wasps inside the figs, and the worms eating them...It gets kind of horrifying at times. Maybe one of the greatest nature documentaries ever made. Enjoy!

Relative to a first world country, it's true, the internet is bad. But at least in Berlin, if you want (as a company) to get good internet, it's possible, there are providers such as colt that have metropolitan fiber and will literally dig trenches to connect you.

On the labour and tax laws side, work life balance is a thing, presenteeism is not. Being comfortable living your actual life is important to people, and while the average person won't get exceptionally wealthy (software developers are well paid, but not exactly millionaires) they will at least enjoy their lives, along with a large portion of the rest of the population.

I can't speak for other people, but career progression is still a thing, aspirations to be better at what you do is possible without a carrot and stick.

Things are bureaucratic, i agree, but there is also some pragmatism to it you don't notice until you're in it.

I've been told, from an Indian ex-colleague, that there are lists of names by caste that is shared to weed out folk. Brahmins are more likely to be sought for and promoted by other Brahmins than any other caste, regardless of ability. I've also been to company campus in Chennai, where during breaks you can see who hangs out with whom and it's all delineated by caste.
