I would bet that this is true for whatever the opposite party in power is.
The algorithm likes negativity, and it likes notoriety. Therefore, it likes criticism from the other side.

They claim it's ultimately related to the latin debitum, but the b was lost before being reinserted by prescriptivists later. Not as bad as the s is island, which appears to be based on a false understanding of the etymology https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/island#note-1
Maybe something to do with every third American claiming to be "Italian" despite the last person from their family to have set foot there being born three generations before them.
You can't intimidate a lack of tax payments for clearly possessed wealth. Unlike witnesses and accomplices.
I fully accept the idea that rights may be natural, and slavery violates an inherent natural right.

But then how do we decide which rights those are? GGP suggested we do so by analyzing society, but that fails when rights are being violated, so...
> It is safer to pronounce English as it written and just modify on well-known cases. Especially when two non-natives speak two each other. "Fancy" pronunciation can make things impossible, as only native speakers can understand where you are aiming at.

Heh, this seems like the right thing to do when you think about it. Why should we keep track of some odd rules that only exist for historical reasons and aren't really... you know, written down?

Interesting. I knew about the Framework laptop but the Reform seems to go quite farther in being usable and repairable for a long time. Bulky and less advanced, but I like how one can just buy spare battery cells for cheap on Amazon or Aliexpress.

Hmm, no mention of Dracula or Frankenstein?
I did read the article and frankly it’s little better than the HN title. It’s heavily biased, fails to offer a convincing argument to anyone other than those who already believed the title, and even explicitly says margins should be banned.

Simply put, it’s not a good article.

I'm not super convinced by the GPUs to be honest. They seem to be good for integrated gpus, but are still blown away by discrete ones.
I think Capone did not have any witnesses for his murder-heavy business. Here there were plenty.
I thought "fake it till you make it" was more of an individual strategy, not a company strategy. If a company behaves like an established company would, they are not faking anything, they are behaving like an established company would. For the individual strategy it's more about combating impostor syndrome. At higher levels many people have this feeling that others have something they don't, so it's telling people to just accept that feeling and be the impostor, because, in fact, everyone is an impostor anyway.
Recently I have built a few JavaFX apps (e.g. https://github.com/marcin-chwedczuk/rfid).

Pros of JavaFX:

- Easy to start if you are familiar with Java and Maven/Gradle.

- Cross platform by default, I ran my apps on macOS, Linux and Linux on Raspberry PI without any problems (just remember to avoid AnchorLayout).

- Can generate deb packages for Linux and DMG for macOS.

- There is a TestFX project for writing GUI "clicky" tests, library seems to no longer be actively maintained but covers all common cases.

- SceneBuilder, ScenicView tools for rapid GUI development.

Now the cons:

- Java 9 module crap, JavaFX is modularized and mixing modular and non-modular libs (e.g. Guava) is real pain.

- Controls are quite primitive there is a TableView for displaying tabular data but there are no column filters out of the box. There are some projects that provide custom controls but there are quite poor compared to what you would get with C# and WPF/WinForms.

- Poor documentation for less common use-cases.

- A lot of bugs and missing features e.g. tray icon in macOS, there are workarounds that _sometimes_ work but can cause a lot of other troubles (e.g. calling AWT api before JavaFX starts).

To sum up, if you know Java and it's build tools and you app is simple then I recommend checking JavaFX out. If you need a more complex GUI then better keep out from it.

Indeed, we will likely never really know what the truth is here - even if the CCP dissolved tomorrow I imagine it would be years upon years before we start seeing anything emerge. A bit like the USSR.

> Definitely prefer incompetence to malice here, but maybe a decision was made to "sit back and assess" while the problem grew more serious.

I imagine that initially the CCP leadership was making decisions based on bad data. I.e. the classic "we have so much grain comrade we have to throw it away!", hence why the local government leadership in Wuhan were purged.

> Faking terroristic plots and blaming protesters is old hat [..]

I would say it's 'tried and tested'.

> A re-run of Tienanmen Square was starting to look inevitable.

I wouldn't yet rule it out. These protestors never vanished, the feeling of the people appears to still be strong (although nobody wants to be the nail that sticks out).

> What if instead of that well-trod path of war, they chose to boost the poll numbers by allowing a crisis to occur and saving the day?

How would that have looked like? I imagine it would have been achieved by keeping Hong Kong under zero lockdown to the point of collapse, and then rushing in with supplies, etc. Instead they were pretty quick to lockdown.

> In fact, a totalitarian regime may be better-able to enforce health mandates and become productive again sooner.

Not so long ago, their "5 year plan" entailed global medicine dominance, which you may argue they achieved during the pandemic. Pretty much all PPE was coming out of China. I think they made a mistake in restricting the export of PPE as other Countries suddenly saw them as a supply risk and begun to decentralise.

> What's more, USA was also dealing with a kind of dueling rebellion between BLM and Trump-Forever types. Perhaps the two agreed that the world needed a cooling-off.

I doubt that. The CCP are very interested in fuelling the political divides in the US. You get CCP officials Tweeting (despite Twitter being banned in China) stuff like "I can't breath".

I can't of course rule out that this was on purpose, but I think even the smartest of analysts couldn't possibly predict how this all would have played out. It was a massive gamble. I imagine the only sort of Country willing to take such a gamble is one with nothing to lose. If China's property market bubbles is really that bad (and they know it), maybe I would take it more seriously.
What if you write a book which only becomes popular 20 years after you first publish it. In that case the publisher(s) would make a lot of money and the author would get nothing (of course with ebooks nobody would likely make any money..) how would that be fair?
The original goal of TR was to build all of Tamriel at this scale, but they soon realised this was far too ambitious. The fact they're still not finished with 1/10th the original intention 20 years on indicates they were correct.
Some algorithms are amenable to SIMD, others are not. To utilize SIMD, you need the same set of operations on big chunks of data stored one next to to the other in memory. This fits for example with algorithms which use arrays to store data, and doesn't work at all for alogrithms which rely on linked lists.
There's the explicitly child-proof sockets that require some stupid action like twisting the plug into them[0] but that's not what I'm talking about. Any new EU socket should come with shutters built in[1] which prevent poking something into a single hole. They only move out of the way if something gets poked into both holes. The shutters are often black, which means that it's basically impossible to see them under normal lighting conditions.

Of course there are still plenty of old sockets out in the world which lack these safety features.

I was referring to the "first-class conflicts" bit. I included the question mark at the end of the title because it's obviously very subjective what the best part of each VCS is.
I find it bizarre that some people want to have system metrics displayed all the time on their desktop. What for? Open the system monitor app when you want to check something, close it when you don't.
I think we can both agree that 10 % of someone's working time is not a very well defined amount of time. 10 % of your total time seems like the more reasonable interpretation.
> Another misconception I saw in many threads was that I didn’t have permission from the subjects in my photographs to sell these images using NFTs.

> To be clear, every person I photograph signs a model release in order to participate in this project. The model release is a “full” release of rights, which means that each person I photograph gives me permission to use the images in “any media” and for “any purpose” and in “any product or service” relating to this project.

> While not strictly required, this type of unilateral release is common in the film and photo business because it’s often required by downstream commercial publishers of the photography (such as book publishers, film distributors, etc.). Personally, I use these releases so that there’s no confusion about rights before any photos are even created.

I don't think that's what they meant. There's a clear difference between ethical and legal permission. Were the 'subjects' informed they would be sold as NFT's?
To be honest, at least with SK, they in a way self-exploited themselves during the dictatorship eras.

Exporting materials (steel), industrial capacity (famously, container ships), labor (Saudi Arabian oilfield workers and nurses in Germany among others), and mercenaries (Vietnam War).

Wages from which were taken by the government and invested (via national monopolies such as Samsung and Hyundai) into more infrastructure growth. Which slowly led to the Korea of today. Add in a dash of democratization and you get the softpower exporting, shipbuilding, chip fabbing regional power today.

It’s an interesting case study into I guess so-called “benevolent dictatorships” that managed to democratize itself (very very violently by the way), and then kept its nationalistic spirit going to weather through an IMF Credit Crisis to become what it is today.
I am neither American nor a native English speaker, but I always thought fraud was mostly a deliberate action, and negligence was mostly resulting out of either lack of action or accidental consequences of an action.

So if a company deliberately and knowingly markets a "sepsis-test" that puts out completely random results and leads to people getting their limbs amputated (bear with me, I know the example is terrible), they can only be held responsible for "negligence" by those patients? Or would patients only be able to claim financial loss due to fraudulent loss of work ability and such?

There was similar reporting of those prenatal genetic tests a few days ago (they have led to unnecessary pregnancy abortions due to incorrect results), and I wonder what corrective action we can do to ensure these things don't happen?
The conclusions section of the paper is a good summary:

"In the process, we learned ten lessons about DSAs and
DNNs in general and about DNN DSAs specifically that
shaped the design of TPUv4i:

1. Logic improves more quickly than wires and SRAM
⇒ TPUv4i has 4 MXUs per core vs 2 for TPUv3 and 1 for
TPUv1/v2.

2. Leverage existing compiler optimizations
⇒ TPUv4i evolved from TPUv3 instead of being a brand
new ISA.

3. Design for perf/TCO instead of perf/CapEx
⇒ TDP is low, CMEM/HBM are fast, and the die is not big.

4. Backwards ML compatibility enables rapid deployment
of trained DNNs
⇒TPUv4i supports bf16 and avoids arithmetic problems by
looking like TPUv3 from the XLA compiler’s perspective.

5. Inference DSAs need air cooling for global scale
⇒ Its design and 1.0 GHz clock lowers its TDP to 175W.

6. Some inference apps need floating point arithmetic
⇒ It supports bf16 and int8, so quantization is optional.

7. Production inference normally needs multi-tenancy
⇒ TPUv4i’s HBM capacity can support multiple tenants.

8. DNNs grow ~1.5x annually in memory and compute
⇒ To support DNN growth, TPUv4i has 4 MXUs, fast onand off-chip memory, and ICI to link 4 adjacent TPUs.

9. DNN workloads evolve with DNN breakthroughs
⇒ Its programmability and software stack help pace DNNs.

10. The inference SLO is P99 latency, not batch size
⇒ Backwards ML compatible training tailors DNNs to
TPUv4i, yielding batch sizes of 8–128 that raise throughput
and meet SLOs. Applications do not restrict batch size."

The negative reactions to your post are due to the laziness of not reading the article and the "gotcha".

I think most of us come to Hacker News for interesting discussions, and the torrent of confidently incorrect "this person is wrong" comments is not adding anything to any discussion.

The top comment is already clarifying the title, so any other comment should be unnecessary, especially snarky ones.

The gotcha is another problem in itself: not only it comes from a misunderstanding of the post, a lot of people don't have control over their publishing software, but their advice should be judged on its own merits, not on some "you criticise society yet you participate in it" way [1].

I think the same approach is now used by German authorities against the (mostly Lebanese) "big family gangs" (Grossfamilien), that have also proven to be very capable of intimidating or killing witnesses, but cannot hide their acquired wealth.
You can't take me seriously about what? That Chinese manufacturing has very poor emissions intensity and other environmental problems, or other labor and environmental regulations? It has not been able to match other parts of the world in manufacturing when it comes to those metrics.

> This is simply a product of developing and inventing new ideas and technology,

"simply" (also using vast quantities of coal, poor working conditions and other air and water pollution regulations).

> and using them to produce trillions and trillions of dollars of wealth. If it was simply about poor labor rights and environmental regulations they wouldn't be where there are today,

I didn't say it was simple, you are the one who keeps trying to say it is simple. But they definitely achieve competitive advantages that way.

> as there is a large number of countries with much more permissive environments.

Non sequitur.

> Twenty years ago people said that it was all just because their wages are low.

Lots of people say lots of incorrect stuff all the time, not just 20 years ago. This isn't really an argument. Environmental concerns have been high on the radar for a long time.

> Now their wages are higher than several EU countries and almost all of South America, and they still are doing more with less. There is no other explanation, this is simply because they have expertise, ideas, and innovations that others countries don't or can't put into practice.

Their manufacturing industry overall is clearly extremely good in general. Not in all specifics (particularly high-tech sectors) like automotive, aerospace, silicon, etc etc, but as a whole of course they are major leaders in many types of manufacturing.

> The bite is absolutely matching the bark.

Absolutely not in terms of innovation and development of new technology and ideas across all areas.
10 % of their work time is not a very well defined amount of time, though. If this is their only occupation, then it's 100 % of their work time. If they have a different primary occupation, then 10 % of that depends entirely on how much they spend on that!

I'm talking about CIA funds to get Italy out of the soviet area of influence (aka the Italian Economic Boom of the 50s), why would you pull the Roman Empire or the Renaissance out of your hat.
I'm not convinced that censoring ideas is healthy. Outright lies and attempts to generate panic and outrage might be an exception. But this isn't what's happening here: the article may be speculative and flawed, and may turn out to be incorrect, but it makes its case with actual real data, not with hand-waving and conspiracy theories. Even if none of the "popular" variants (or the original virus) came from a lab leak, this is an angle we need to be investigating, and silencing people who talk about it is counterproductive and dangerous.

Sure, the tinfoil hat crowd will likely take things like this and run with them in all the wrong ways. But that's going to happen regardless, and that's just the price of living in a society where we can and should be able to discuss ideas freely, even ideas many of us may vehemently disagree with.

This is incredibly sad to be honest. I love the interconnectivity of the modern web, and social media allows us to share our thoughts freely and communicate ideas at a scale never before seen in human history, but the consequence of this is the limitation on culture. It used to be the case that cultures developed in a silo'd fashion, and this gave way for some very advanced and different ways to doing things. When our ancestors visited a new location they would find new people with a completely different view of the world. Now everyone thinks the same, acts the same, the culture is the same. We've opened the box on shared thinking and the result is that we'll never have an era of silent cultivation on ideas - the mind virus is live.
They're not saying it's of no relation. They're saying something like, "once the language became English, the b was never heard".

This isn't a circular argument or glossing over "what does it mean to be English", because while the line is blurry between Old French and Old English following the Norman invasion of Britain, there's no such link between English and Latin.
