Missing from this article, and rather important in the current supply chain issues situation, is packaging (testing, dicing, packaging into the chip package e.g. BGA, QFN, SOIC etc).
Packaging is generally done at separate factories from the fabs. A vast proportion of packaging factories are in China, something to keep in mind in the context of "trade wars": https://www.marketresearchreports.com/blog/2019/04/24/top-10...
Ask HN: Is ADHD Real?
Just got officially diagnosed with ADHD.
I am still wondering if this thing is a real disorder or just a consequence of modern overstimulated world and my general lack of planning abilities?
Some of it is a tiny bit outdated or paints a partial picture (STM does 22nm too for instance, although I'm not sure if it did in 2012).

But overall I think it's pretty current and accurate.

One thing is doesn't do is point out that "x nm" doesn't have anything to do with gate length or physical dimensions anymore. It's commercial speech for transistor density (vertical FinFET are denser than planar transistor, gate length is roughly the same).
But it's worth pointing out that (i) the medical profession, who are the appropriate people to be evaluating HCQ, didn't rely on their heuristic but did the test and (ii) if you as a layman abandon the heuristic that you shouldn't be receptive to the advice of conspiracy theorists and alternative therapists protesting the medical profession because they might be right about something, following that advice isn't largely cost-free unlike the other examples Scott Alexander set up, and is in fact more likely to harm you than the heuristic

Laravel is amazing until you need to do something non-trivial that does not follow the laravel way of doing things so you find yourself fighting the framework.

Everything is coupled to Eloquent for example, and while you can use another ORM, the whole ecosystem and 3rd party libraries need Eloquent, so you have to choose to either do things the Laravel way to take advantage of the community, or write everything on your own.

P.S: It's been 3 years since I used Laravel, not sure if things have changed.

I don't think there will be a monopoly for SpaceX, at least not a global one.

It's a matter of nation sovereignty / media control: governments need local service providers that they can controlled. There's no way China will allow its citizens to freely use SpaceX, just like how Americans probably won't use satellite internet from a Chinese company.

Did you mean to link to some other data? This list shows that the Nordic state with the highest suicide rate is Finland at number 38, in which suicides are about 30% higher than the European average (although of course Greenland remains an interesting artefact). I don't think that really fits your description.

It's always been pretty interesting (and I'd say quite well-known) that the Nordics do have a somewhat higher suicide rate than other similar states. But it's also likely a pretty bad proxy; I'd be suspicious of a metric suggesting the average North Korean citizen is substantially happier than the average Finn.

Probably better is the World Happiness Report (https://worldhappiness.report/ed/2020/social-environments-fo...). It's a bit arbitrary for my taste, but does at least have a pretty long history as well as plenty of transparency about what it's measuring and why. And it consistently places the Nordics in the top ten.

> e.g. did the evolution of homo sapiens and its subsequent monopolization of earth resources decrease the chances of another intelligent species evolving? Probably.

Only if you assume that intelligent life fills an ecological niche. As far as I am aware that’s some hot debate in evolutionary biologist circles.

There’s a strong chance this is all a massive fluke, given the configuration of our solar system and happenstance of earths position and chemical makeup.

Then again we wouldn’t be around to observe what we see today if it wasn’t for all those things aligning.

As observations of extra solar systems increase, I’m more inclined to think life is rarer and intelligence is exceedingly more rare.

Nothing wrong with an empty universe. Less to contend with.

Yeah exactly. I had 20 samples from our codebase that showed some representative differences and you had to click on which one you liked more. The order (Black/YAPF or YAPF/Black) was randomised.

I also had to turn off Black's quote normalisation otherwise it is really obvious which is which. Quote normalisation is another point in Black's favour.

I could put the survey up somewhere if anyone is interested.
Maybe rounding error isn't the best term, but it seems below the threshold to worry about. Here in California, probably at least 30K of it would go to taxes anyway, and I wouldn't know how much within $2000 of accuracy unless I paid a tax accountant $300 to type the numbers into their software. Notably, the IRS requires you to be within 90% of your tax liability over the year to avoid penalties. 0.1*30k is $3000, so the IRS seemingly agrees that $2000 on $100K is below the threshold of being substantial.

Except no-one has run constellation of thousand satellites.

Except no-one is trying establish sat-to-sat communication links (I may be wrong here, someone should provide proof)

Except no-one can provide you with low latency, high speed satellite internet. If you have alternatives (I do where I live) - Starlink is probably not for me.

You seem to paint as if starlink is something trivial, as some years ago people were thinking CRAZY - they can't possibly put that much satellites up there. Not to mention that people were really surprised they could put 60 satellites on a single rocket. That they established mass production of satellites. Etc.

There used to be a weird trick here: Who says drive letters have to be letters? If you had more than 26 drives, msdos just took whatever was in the ascii table after Z: . This was easy to cause with network drives. Programs mostly just went with it unquestioningly. I don 't remember what happens if your drive letter itself is a backslash.

A few years ago it was still possible to do stuff like

subst ?: C:\somepath

Then you had a drive ?: which was accepted by half of your programs but not the others.

I don't have a win10 laying around so I can't test if this is still true today.
The article doesn't claim otherwise, it just states that you have to enable it manually for every chat, which most people don't seem to realize (or care about).

Oh yes, definitely. Whenever I read them it feels strange, understanding the technical context of Telegram. He never mentions that WhatsApp is actually end-to-end encrypted. He does continue to talk about 'encryption', though. It's very very misleading. It just seems to be bashing WhatsApp without talking about Telegram's shortcomings too. He obviously isn't going to be non-partisan but it would be nice if he would be a little more honest.

Ask HN: Sleep supplements that worked for you (excluding melatonin)
I'm in the UK, and unfortunately melatonin is not available as an over-the-counter product. Only a doctor can prescribe it in the UK. Purchasing it online is not easy. For example, it is not possible to purchase via Amazon.de or Amazon.com for delivery to the UK due to regulations (same for eBay.co.uk).

What non-prescription sleep supplements have you tried? Which ones worked for you that you recommend?

For example, CBD (cannabidiol) oil is widely available without prescription and is purported to aid sleep. If you have tried it, have you found it helpful?

Any other non-prescription supplements you have tried (with success)? Thank you.

Because we can always go one level deeper...

When I ask people why they dislike Musk, the answer I get is usually not for some bleak, reasoned belief but because of his internet persona. He makes shitty, immature jokes. People think he's a bit of a dick.

Interestingly, engineers I know tend to be a bit more positive on him. I wonder if it's because they're exposed to more of his YouTube persona than his Twitter one.

> If you genuinely believe that society is a zero-sum-game...

The rest of this is strawman-ing pretty hard. I'm sure there are some people as described, but I think there's a larger more nuanced population who are uncomfortable with the huge growth of wealth inequality that's been going on. Some of their ire with the system is directed at those doing best under it.

That's probably not entirely unjustified either, what group in human history did nothing to preserve the status quo when it worked for them?

Society may not be a zero-sum game, but it's not a zero-harm game either.

No, I meant that we need well conceived and effective rating mechanisms.

There are a thousand items in that set (e.g. 4500 conferences in TED)? We need a rating system that works - this involves for example rating and clusterizing the rating agents themselves. Which is very complicated, but achieve a system that does not promote the horrendous and does not hide the precious - this is a key indicator in the goal - is not impossible.

> There was an absolute lack of power to be sold, at any price. Raising the spot MWH prices to 9 billion USD would have made no difference in what could be brought on-line, only how badly load serving entities were getting screwed.

Under the system Texas uses, it's the promise of those huge payments that encourages people to build excess peaker plants.

If you remove them, and don't replace them with something better, then outages will become more common.

The reason they exist isn't to hurt load serving entities.

> amortizing the costs of that through rate increases for probably the next decade

That's a good thing. That's the good outcome. The better alternative to giant peak fees, which is paying for capacity, has the same result: the base price is a little higher.

The bad outcome is entities that can't just amortize over a decade or longer.
And even then, would learning to code early bring anything? IMO for schoolchildren it's better to focus on math, sciences and other things school has to offer. Coding by itself is but a vocational skill.
If by "larger" you mean larger surface area (and therefore more drag) then I'd think yes. But not necessarily "larger" in terms of mass, if only because it could still have a fairly good aerodynamic profile.
