It was an invention. I'm into historic tractors, there are a number of interesting steering controls that companies played with in the 1800s. I've seen a tractor that you controlled with reigns (like a horse). I've seen tractors where there was levers not a wheel. The wheel quickly won out (AFAIK the wheel predates the ones I listed).

Today steering seems obvious, but only because a lot of inventors tried a lot of things some of which were bad ideas.
Hi HN. My name is Apoorve, I am 23 year old undergraduate student.

I share a lot of internet accounts (Netflix, prime etc.) with my friends and family, and recently have been in OTP (one-time-password) hell. I built Auto-OTP to securely send and receive OTPs from people I trust.

This is mostly meant as a beta release so please do check it out and share your feedback :)
So this disruption will prevent TSMC and Samsung from expanding EUV capacity for a little while, while affecting almost nothing else. Interesting.
Major bitcoin miners in South Kazakhstan have private fibre to Kyrgyzstan, exactly for an eventuality like this.

News were leaking out of the country through them when the internet was shutdown. They also are ones who have a lot of satcom gear, since they often need to repair their bootleg fibre in the middle of nowhere.

It's also to not get detected. A few million dollars ISO container standing in the middle of nowhere will get appropriated in no time there invariably if it's mafia finds it, or the local KGB offshoot.
I would love to see breakdowns like this for newer image formats, like AVIF, JPEG XL, and WebP.
Birds can extract more oxygen from each breath compared to bats - besides lungs they have additional air "storage" places called air sacs in their body.

Their lungs do not contract like mammals but the air sacs do - so when they exhale their lungs are still performing a gas exchange.

Fantastic book. It's a genre that's lacking, but this is in my top 2 CS history books (up there with The Dream Machine, but that's a lot of hardware as well).
The precedent has been set in the U.S. If you can whip up an army of fanatics to assault the Capitol then you may do so with impunity. The system set up 230 years ago has too many imbalances. We don’t have proportional representation in either chamber of Congress and the way things are set up a minority of the electorate can prevent even the fiscal policies of the majority. Eventually such an imbalance will need to change. It can not last for long.

There is also great social change. Women are a large majority of incoming college students and are a majority in graduating with college degrees right now. Demographic changes are occurring. There are severe inefficiencies in the basic functioning of our society. For instance we spend far more on healthcare and education than other countries with worse outcomes.

Defeat in Afghanistan, divided population at home, crumbling infrastructure, etc. all point to a state of long term imperial decline.

Yeah, except no. AmigaOS was built on a lightweight, near-real-time, multitasking microkernel that was designed in tandem with the hardware and which a single person could understand in totality. There's no way something as amazing as the Amiga could be produced on a Unix base and still be affordable.
Async is also used in UI programs with intermittent, event based interactivity.

Chrome Dev Tools Team, can we please have import/export in the Devices list?
This is an old annoyance regarding Chrome Dev Tools "Devices" toolbar. Can we please get an option to import and export device information (resolution, dpr, useragent, etc. - maybe even some nice device frames) for the Devices list in Devtools? I'm really curious about the logic behind deault choice of devices in the list: why are there no Pixel 6/6Pro (c'mon Google, promote your own devices, maybe!?), iPhone 13/Pro/Max (aka: latest devices, not ancient models)? And, what about "Show device frame"? Seems to only be available for some very old models (or Nesthubs - who needs to see that?). Sheesh.

Weapons sales are besides the point. There are plenty of corporations doing totally non-shady things that make exactly the same kinds of tweet. I don't think it's helpful to drag this thread into a discussion about the ethics of selling weapons. I suspect that we don't even disagree on that point. (Please don't think that I hold any brief for Raytheon.)

I find the rest of your post a little bit confusing. I don't think you are saying that you want Raytheon to stop making tweets in support of LGBTQ rights. But also, you seem to be hinting that there are somehow potentially bad consequences arising from Raytheon, or other corporations, making these sorts of statements. As the bad consequences are only sketched in the vaguest terms, it's difficult to know what to make of the idea. For example, you seem to suggest that people might be more alert to the bad things that Raytheon does if they didn't publicly support their LGBTQ employees. But you don't have to wind back the clock many decades to get to a time when they didn't do this. It doesn't seem that people had much more success in compelling Raytheon to stop making arms sales in the 70s or 80s than they do now.
That "republic" is effectively the same as the "liberal democracy" mentioned in the article. Which, in turn, is the default meaning of "democracy" in contemporary discussion. Democracy doesn't mean mob rule by the majority anymore. It's about elected representatives, constitutional protections, civil liberties, rule of law, separation of powers, checks and balances, and so on.
Whoa! Easy with the conspiracy theories! /s

Does it? Seems to me that most people don't, and never have trusted each other.
The 'liberal order' was very happy to open up China and then enriched themselves selling off industry and manufacturing to China and elsewhere. They seem to have thought that this would liberalize China, and that failed miserably . I don't know if they were sincere, since this belief has little historical support - I think they just wanted to make some money and came up with some justifications to sweeten the bitter medicine.

That generation is passing away, and their ability to control global geopolitics is passing away too. It remains to be seen if the whole world will ever be 'liberal' or 'democratic' and it sure seems like much of the world would rather opt out.
For games generally those parts can be shifted to the GPU because they feed the rendering pipeline anyway. Doing so has other benefits of lowering latency for that data to be picked up by the graphics bits already there etc. Also the clock speed penalty for AVX512 is pretty steep so unless you're going to do a lot of AVX512 it really doesn't make sense either. Games generally aren't using double precision either which is the AVX512 bread and butter. To make it more fun even if they were... a 4x4 matrix is composed of 256bit elements so the vast majority of register usage wouldn't be 512 bit anyway. The main benefit would be the new instructions more than the register width.

Long story short: Games generally aren't doing enough AVX to really benefit from it as implemented. They can be quite bursty in their use. Not to mention that Not every CPU even has AVX (because apparently Pentium Gold is a thing) even today.

If Intel convinced AMD to pick up the 256 bit versions and removed the clock speed penalties I could see them getting more use. But at the moment it's really just a feature for the HFT market primarily and even they are extremely careful in use because of the clock speed penalty. To the point they will literally benchmark both ways to make sure the penalty is overcome by the throughput.

Sourcing bashrc and exec-ing are not quite equivalent, but most of the time it doesn't matter. E.g. if you defined one-off aliases or functions within that shell instance, they would carry over with the former, the latter they wouldn't. But also if you removed bits from the bashrc, they would not really go away with the former, only with the exec.

Neal Stephenson's latest novel "Termination Shock" has "earthsuits" that people wear in hot and humid locations.
The author discusses "pull forward", where the real impact of a change is to make people purchase earlier, but we don't necessarily observe incremental purchases. This isn't necessarily bad; I'd rather have a dollar today than a dollar next week.

This can be quantified by plotting the incremental conversions observed by day x. We migh see a big initial lift that degrades over time. If it eventually degrades to zero, there are no truly incremental conversions, just pull-forward. But if we end up pulling forward a meaningful number of purchases by a month or more, that can be valuable to the business!

I wouldn't immediately jump to a complicated mathematical model to handle this situation, I would consider the business implications first and foremost.

I also urge anyone considering Bayesian methods for A/B testing to read up on the likelihood principle vs the strong repeated sampling principle (I documented my thoughts here [0]). Bayesian methods always satisfy the likelihood principle; frequentist methods always satisfy repeated sampling. In many situations both methods satisfy both principles, and then the two approaches will give similar answers. But based on many years doing A/B testing, I wouldn't give up repeated sampling lightly. Bayesian and frequentist methods are not blindly interchangeable.

On the other hand, if repeated sampling is not important in your use case, then by all means prefer the Bayesian approach! I just want people to consider the trade offs.

Google Search's Bug?
How about you work with him to figure out where YOU can change and adapt instead of expecting the other party to change at your will? If you are really open to learn and contribute he will see that and put you on a path to get what you want.

Assess where YOU can change/improve and a better future for you will usually follow.

Humans have this default behavior where they want everyone but themselves to change.

Also, related to the OPs comment:

>"he says I probably just misinterpreted an offhand comment of hers as a hard requirement."

It's sometimes helpful to explicitly reiterate your understanding of tacit/implied direction, especially when in a junior position. For example, a short email of "my understanding is that you want me to do X".

A lot of this stuff boils down to communication. In academia, it's not as much of an issue because professors assign well-formulated problems with a definite solution. In business, a lot of the work is fleshing out those details and building a consensus about the right approach. Plus, it creates a trail to CYA (although that shouldn't be your primary goal)

I wouldn't so quickly jump to "that's an ADHD symptom". I know many people inarguably not ADHD who exhibit similar task timescales.

I don't want to discount the fact that this can be a hallmark symptom of ADHD for those that truly have/are ADHD. However, some part of this reaction is over-pathologization.

It's increasingly accepted that ADHD is over-diagnosed [1] [2] [3], and I feel that this task timescale concept accounts for part of that.

>>Dropbox (and iCloud) are meant more for cloud file storage than pure device-to-device synce

> Device to device sync was literally the value prop for Dropbox when it launched > 10 years ago.

It's what was advertised. I find it interesting that its initial reception on HN is so frequently slammed for saying "we could already do this, if we wanted to", and then... 10+ years later, Dropbox has had to switch to doing something people want.

The only value I ever saw people getting from Dropbox was in using it as a way to hand off files to someone else across the internet. Which is a use case Dropbox has spent many years fighting against.

The advantage of democracy is that it usually obviates the need violent political civil wars as the people are able to express their will as to who is the leader.

This is an inherent disadvantage of dictatorships, as political factions can back different leaders and cause prolonged and recurrent civil wars. Looking at the history of empires, these dynastic conflicts are incredibly common.

The disadvantage of democracies is that frequent elections prevent leadership from executing multi-decade long objectives. Democratic leadership changes often countermand the direction of prior administrations. Further, these decisions are subject to popular fashions and often represent the interests of vast swaths of the population who are uneducated and/or young. Democracies are often slaves to circumstance and societal evolution - and this is exacerbated with social media.

The advantage of dictatorships is their ability to create generational goals and execute methodical plans that can show value to the nation decades later. Dictatorships have the ability to shape societal evolution (for better or worse).

Oversimplifying this, you could say that a democracy acts according the average intelligence of the society, whereas a dictatorship acts according to the intelligence of the leader (and thus the process to select a dictator makes it far more critical to be meritocratic).

I honestly wonder if there's a better way.
Joint pain and being mentally "out" (not being able to hold complex structures in my mind = unable to code) are two hallmarks of common colds for me and why I always take ~2 days off work when I have one - I'd just get frustrated trying. Sore throat is another one.

Incredible man, just like his coworkers as Bell. All of that Bell Labs team is fantastic. Obvious Ritchie and Thompson are top dogs in our minds, but McIlroy and Cherry, and the rest of the gang that I don't know the name of are part of such an incredible part of CS history.

Kernighan is an excellent writer and in every interview I've ever seen, he's the most humble man you could imagine. Him and Ritchie taught me C, and to that I am appreciative.
It's not irrelevant. When a community project depends on another project, it depends on it, (both factually and tautologically.) If the original maintainer evaporates, the community project needs to adapt by either moving somewhere else or forking away and adopting the project. Else the community is in a broken state, all other expectations aside!

That's not to say the original author owes any debt to the community, but when pay is the only motivation you wind up with chronically broken communities optimized for rent extraction. (And I'm definitely not saying that OSS authors shouldn't be paid either...) authors can walk away from their creations, but it doesn't make the result of doing that without any concern any less important or relevant here.

You're not really suggesting that OP's concerns are somehow irrelevant because code owners need to be protected from bad actors by annoying/bugged-out or broken gatekeeping robots, are you?
Do you think that transmitting your genes to future generations is bad? Is having a sense of purpose aka destiny bad?

Again it’s a subway, but worse
Sure, but as a customer that's irrelevant, right? You had a MacBook Air, used it with two displays, then you buy a new MacBook Air and bam, it doesn't work with two displays. The technical nitty gritty is not really relevant - at least the comment I was replying to sounded this way. That what the customer expects is more important than what is on the spec sheet? The fact that previous Intel CPU supported AVX-512, and the new one doesn't - so whether this fact is or isn't mentioned in the spec sheet is not important, because what the customer expects should be ultimately what decides what is "ok".
Biases I'd say
Chaos and violence are not the sea thing in your definition. I would much rather have political chaos and no violence than violence and political stability.
The question is: which barrel? And how to differ a planned violent uprising from a popular uprising? How can a popular peaceful uprising capture so many important building so fast?
Why is that worrying? We currently don't really have self-driving cars, in part because software is bad at interpreting images. The captchas are literally us teaching machine learning systems to do it better, because they currently can't. When computers can do it well, captchas will be different.

I don't believe you're correct that intellectual property has slowed down progress.

Linux and the GNU project use copyright and they're doing well. Arguably better than the permissive BSDs for which copyright law might as well not exist. But even GNU/Linux falls far behind Windows and MacOS for regular desktop users.

Software is already the ultimate gift-able creation where you can make something for yourself and everyone else. It's cheap to make at home and it's free to distribute. Yet even here commercial products protected by IP are still far superior to things made by hobbyists just wanting to share with the world.

Medicines? Most biotechnologists I know are working at university research labs aiming to churn papers or they're working at a company that exists because of patent law. I don't know anyone researching new drugs in their spare time just to gift it to the world.

So I guess as a counterpoint, I know a hundred startup founders who made something looking to make a buck. I know zero people working on expensive technical problems purely because they care about solving it.
For those that don't know who Brian Kernighan is: basically, he's one of the founders of the UNIX operating system with Bell Laboratories, and a significant early contributor to the C programming language: among other amazing accomplishments that literally all of us touch in one way shape or form today.
