Neither commenter was advocating for having it both ways. I don't even find them at odds with one another. I happen to agree with both assertions.

OP: "millenia old book makes claim about life that is empirically uncontroverted in 2022" – i agree

Parent: "the bible is a collection of stories and contradictions should be expected" – i also agree

The first half of your comment could indeed be relevant in the right discussion, but this thread was not it. The rest then falls terribly flat and comes off needlessly aggressive and snide.

I would be embarrassed writing such things in a public forum.
Ask HN: Books to feel comfortable discussing internals of programming languages?
To be more accurate, I am referring to the Go programming language, but I assume the answer doesn't depend heavily on a particular language.

Not so long ago, I switched to Go from Python and I really appreciate almost all aspects of the language. I have read all the recommended resources (and keep rereading some of them like Effective Go). At this stage, very often it all boils down to reading the specification, which is very readable and user-friendly.

Nonetheless, there are some questions for which explanations unexpectedly (for me, I mean) shift the discussion to code in C, assembly instructions, how the compiler is implemented.

Even though I understand that pretty often it's not necessary to understand things at a very low level, but I feel comfortable when unable to do so.

What are some resources or at least subjects I should get comfortable with so I can reason about more advanced issues like performance, motivation behind certain language decisions, etc.

Do you think that getting your feet wet with C is necessary for that? Compilers? Assembly? Something else?
It also omits mention about things like FreeDOS that's still being worked on today!
There are honestly so many small problems that need to be solved with software. Many if not most of these problems are too small for a real company to take on. Find one of them and solve it and you’ll easily clear $50,000/yr from your side project.

Have you compared wheels you made using this method with wheels made by old school methods?

If so I'm really curious what particular numbers you were chasing to determine what the 'better' wheel was. I have my own ideas on this which is why I'm interested.
I don't think Harvard would let Sinclair have a lab with some 35 people and publish articles under their name if he was a total fraud/quack.

My impression of Sinclair is that he likes public attention too much and often reports on work in progress with too much certainty, but results like this [1] seem to be fairly impressive.

Yes, I would like too... and I see that OMEMO seems to be the current and best protocol for xmpp. But I found only one library and the implementation in profanity. I'm not a crypto guy and I don't understand it, so if there is a simple way to add it (as optional) compile dependency, I will do. But messing up with crypto doesn't sound like a good way to go.
In mcabber is the option to send commands with a fifo, so it would be possible to send (GPG and OTR) encrypted messages. With profanity, it might be possible by writing a plugin.

Overcoming my mental health struggles. I actually make enough money to sustain myself but my stress comes from other things that I can't control. If I could just wake up one morning looking forward to the day instead of dreading it, I'll consider it a win.
That doesn’t explain the baseline behavior, since the article’s single-core prefetching is improving perf dramatically.
There’s no advantage, just laziness. A wallet like that shouldn’t be easy to access and should never be used for for anything other than funding their other hot wallets.

Everything is confidential, but you can get an idea. Arm's revenue on a phone CPU likely pennies, or at the highest end a buck. They just make it up in volume. The interesting point is how.

First, you can see from a recent HN post that an electric toothbrush contains a 32-bit ARM CPU. If you've built any hardware you'll know that your BOM is king, and you try to squeeze that on the back of your OEMs. So Philips isn't paying much for that CPU and the CPU vendor (who could be Philips) would choose a different CPU if the royalty payment was too high.

By taking a tiny bite out of a huge number of parts ARM both spreads out its risk (the parts are ubiquitous) and starves the market of oxygen: there just isn't enough revenue for many or any competitors to get started. They'd have to lose money for years, or even decades, to get to the break even point.

And don't forget what ubiquity means: that phone doesn't have an ARM CPU: there is ARM logic in all sorts of devices inside the phone, from the baseband processor to probably integrated logic in the camera (even if the CPU has ISP logic) to USB PHYs to who knows what. With a few pennies or less on each one. Those headline CPUs may have the highest royalty rate for all we know.

The real question is why Apple uses ARM. Yes they have a longstanding history back to the founding of ARM but they are masters of cutting their BOM. They have an architectural license, and have their own microarchitecture. They make their own toolchain soup to nuts. They don't have to worry about compatibility with anyone outside their ecosystem. So why bother to pay anything to ARM?

I've been asking around and the best (and consensus) theory I've been able to get is patents. That architectural license would presumably contain rights to all of ARM's patents.

If that theory is correct, that's a huge threat to RISC V. I doubt ARM would ue, or even threaten to sue any RISC V user now: they'd look like Goliath beating up David. But once RISC V starts to get noticeable traction, and especially if ARM is a public company, patent licensing will start to matter. Their smartest strategy would be to pull a Microsoft and force companies to simply pay ARM a royalty for every RISC V they ship.

Note: I'm a fan of the RISC V and not particularly a fan of ARM. But I recognize that ARM has played the long game quite well.
I used to know a guy who made a living making Excel VBA apps for small businesses. In terms of what the business needed, it was as good as any other approach would have been.
When it comes to crypto, 95% of the projects are by people who do not understand it themselves and were sold on it by someone whose sole purpose is to broaden crypto's financial reach and who worked tirelessly to make sure it's obscure/redundant enough that you don't understand it unless you're a developer attempting to implement it or seriously skilled at due diligence. They ran their whitepaper through their advisors to ensure it was clear yet didn't give anything away in terms of how it worked or how the authors get their kickbacks.
Or until someone notices...

All the balances and stuff are public on the blockchain. It only takes one person to write a script to verify that the locked up amount matches the number of tokens out there. and when it doesn't, alert.

That then means any attacker will have to be very quick with their theft, and if so, there is still a good chance whatever coins they get will end up blacklisted or the transactions reversed by a sufficiently large army of upset users who fork the eth network or the L2 network.
I've wanted to re-implement DOS in pure assembler for years to have that lean and mean that uses less memory than MS-DOS but never had the time.
If you're a software engineer, start interviewing. A $50k raise is entirely possible.
Assuming you’re a developer or similar type of tech worker.

Ask your previous employer if they need any work done. You can easily bring in $50k+ by renting our your time.

Friends charge anywhere from $80-250/hr.

If you don’t have a previous employer, then try Upwork. Start with a low rate then work your way up.
Most of our understanding of animal behavior comes from observation in their natural habitat. It would seem nearly impossible to observe this behavior for undersoil.

I think starting a side project with a goal of revenue is not practical. For me, doing side project is doing something that you can't normally do in day to day job. So, it has to something that I love to spend time for. On the other hand, I always think about making many part when I start something new. My side projects are generally about making games and mobile applications, search engine optimization, writing programs that transform data from one form to another. When I finish a side project, I don't hesitate to putting some ads and make passive income. It is lovely to make money while you are sleeping from something that you have enjoyed creating it.
This was an absolutely fascinating and chilling story.

The thing that struck me about it is the scam didn't work for a few reasons:

1. He typically had a practice of not using his main wallet for things like this.

2. He got wary and actually read the smart contracts.

This is a level of technical competence required that's going to mean most people have to offload this to a trusted intermediary. And then what's the point of all the decentralization ideology? Because we just re-invented banks.
Honestly, if you remove the borrow checker from Rust, it’s radically not Rust any more. I hold that the defining feature of Rust is its ownership model; and there’s nothing left of that without the borrow checker. (You could assign similar semantics and just not check them, but without the ability to check them they’re completely useless.) Most of Rust’s design hinges upon the ownership model, and most features that it has are there at least in significant part to make the ownership model work or be tolerable. To be sure, you could create a dynamic/scripting language with algebraic data types (enum) and a struct/impl divide; even traits are possible, though mix generics in and it’ll be decidedly bothersome to achieve any sort of speed, yet you kinda need generics for traits to make sense over classical OOP (there’s a reason scripting languages tend to go for classes and such—Rust-style traits work excellently compiled, but not so well dynamic). But you’re talking about converting such code into Rust, and I say: without ownership modelling and the borrow checker you have absolutely no chance of converting it to anything but completely unsafe Rust code (as in: Rust will slow you down and gain you nothing, you should generate something like C instead). And you can’t just sling GC at it: Rust is really quite poorly equipped for that style of box-everything GC code, and the only ways of making it work at all will perform very badly.
If you believe in many-worlds, then some future yous will probably live indefinitely long and be the really weird outlier in their respective worlds.
That wouldn't really seem to jive with GC's point then, as Tesla also seems to be using Bitcoin for gambling.

Any financial system is built on on an element of trust.

Crypto doesn't displace trust --- it misplaces it.

Instead of trusting the regulated banking system, you end up trusting unregulated "exchanges" --- where fraud is not even illegal.

Need an example of crypto-fraud? The most widespread example is Tether, USDT. The idea that USDT is backed by USD is a well known joke. No one really knows the full extent of this fraud but all indications are it is one of epic proportions.

Yet the exchanges maintain the $1 peg for USDT.

I would be able to retire in 3-4 years. (Would need a huge windfall somehow)

I would spend most of my years 30-50 playing an outdoor sport that I really enjoy but don't have much time for it now.

I would compete in said sport and try to go as far as I could go.

I'd do that, travel, and still work on interesting tech projects... Grow old until my body gives out and decide what to do then. Maybe switch sports, maybe focus more on sedentary activities, not sure!
Discord is doing the same thing as well in its preparation and its making a lot of mistakes. A lot of the users haven't done anything at all but were actually on servers that were nuked because somewhere on them something dodgy happened, guilt by association. This just seems to be the way these social tech companies have always behaved, Facebook has arbitrary systems and bans legitimate customers for no reason including for just trying to attach their new VR headset. None of them have good customer services to allow it to be fixed either.
It's unlikely to happen for a long time. The only reason the RPi exists is because they can divert some Broadcom chips which are produced in vast volumes for things like set-top boxes, get them for a few dollars, and package them as SBCs.

There was a run of ~ 5 million AllWinner chips and Beagle packaged one into a board which I have, which would have sold for sub $200, but they decided not to pursue the idea.
I don't understand why in the world Thomas wouldn't directly communicate via phone and video chat to any of these people first before doing serious business and potentially traveling across the country for random anonymous folks on Discord.

Social engineering is so much easier when you engage in faceless, voiceless communication. This could've been shut down so much more easily if they put a real human being to match the messages. When things actually matter, I need more than just a Discord avatar and a handle to identify someone.
"She tells me a bit about her metaverse project, Space Falcon. I'm not really sold on it, but I'm not really an NFT person so I didn't have any reason to think it was a bad idea either.[...] It seems kind of like a get-rich-quick scheme, but again, that's kind of how I see a lot of NFTs. With all that she's doing for Arrow, there's no harm in showing a little support."

The real takeaway from this is that it's dangerous to break your moral compass and sense of reality to the point where you think helping out people who are pushing an obviously fraudulent business, is ok and normal.

US Congress & Senate require the $2B be distributed to contractors in all States. Actually flying the thing is about vanity, and using up supplies and equipment to make room / demand for more to be made. Maybe some stuff will be lofted, besides, a bonus.

The rocket they stacked has to be launched. The best we can hope for is another will not be stacked. But for that to happen we probably need to start a new $trillion ICBM project. SLS may be the smaller evil. We might end up with both, if it looks like SLS is at risk.
Parent commenter’s point is you have options.

Have you considered the wages and working conditions of the humans that manufactured that cheap new pair of jeans? We’re not talking about saving you money, we’re talking about you accepting certain trade offs (inconvenience, possibly increased cost or needing to learn a new skill), so that you can feel better about avoiding contributing to human suffering in sweat shops.

Another perspective is, if you are buying jeans that are not economical to repair - considering buying better quality jeans! With some research, you might even find high quality jeans made by people earning a living wage under healthy working conditions. Jeans you might love for a decade or more (good for the planet too!).

If you’re not open to these trade offs, I totally get it, most people aren’t - but this thread is not for you.

The protest is illegally blocking much of downtown Ottawa, as a result GoFundMe decided to refund the donors. That's far from a "rug"

That's because it's clickbait

Absolutely. Like I said, we are on social media right now.

This is actually a great idea!
Perhaps Apple chose arm because they wanted to own their processor now-with the plan being to move to a non-arm architecture in the coming years?
Probably, SPARK is a proper subset of Ada and you can call Ada procedures from C. Here's a demonstration of it: https://learn.adacore.com/courses/intro-to-ada/chapters/inte... (this goes in both directions, Ada calling C and C calling Ada).
I am willing to wager that Dr Sinclair is just peddling nonsense to make his million bucks and exit quickly.
Good luck getting a consistent 4% raise over 10 years when starting out at 100k. Virtually zero software engineers (in Belgium) are on 100k/year.
The problem is that you don't currently have financial privacy, and that is what enables authorities, your government and your bank to ensure you are not laundering money for nasty people.

Is "the end result" the Beethoven's sonata in Japanese scale?

If so, the most important reason that it sounds terrible is the music is generated with MuseScore, without adjusting dynamics, tempos, etc. Actually, the Beethoven's original sonata in this blog is also generated with MuseScore, and it sounds not so good even with dynamics added.

However, this is why I agree that deep leaning is more promising than this manual approach, since too many variables you need to adjust to make music sound good rather than syntactically correct.
> Who in their right mind trusts contracts someone sends you on Discord?

No one.

> It's just the Trust Problem all over again. Decentralized reliance on automatic software still requires trust that the authors of the software won't scam you. It all comes down to trust.

It does, but you get to decide who you trust rather than being forced to trust one of a small number of large institutions. If you want, you can delegate your trust to a third party who will be responsible for vetting anything you interact with.

You can also choose to trust yourself or other members of your community.

This person shouldn’t trust themselves since they are too willing to go along with people who say positive things about them.
Practically neither
I think many of us fell into what I'll call "hacker's fallacy", that given society free access to information and communication, people will be free to educate themselves and others and we will progress as a species. At first we were going to that direction, before the status quo caught on. Now people are being exploited and misinformed more than it was imaginable before the information age.

I'd like to thing the hippies had a similar fallacy, where they thought they could overthrow the system with flower power (mainly psychedelic drugs).

Looking forward to the next iteration.
True. Though to be clear, it’s not that your story isn’t convincing. It’s that police felt like it, usually because you’re a minority.
> How many?

I don't know, I haven't counted them in a long time. But probably tens of thousands of photos curated into hundreds of albums across a few dozen separate iPhoto libraries. It's over 20 years worth of work.

Even if I exported all the albums manually I would lose the captions.

Also, I don't want my photos in the cloud. I want them only on media in my direct physical control because I want to retain my Fourth Amendment rights.

Would you rather invest in a 28nm chip fabrication plant, or Bitcoin?

I feel there has got to be room in the market for smaller scale fabrication; not necessarily "garage scale" but maybe gymnasium scale production that can turn out older designs with larger feature sizes.

After all the patents on those have expired and there's an enormous free library of stuff coming open, right?

To be honest, if they got this close, it’s only a matter of time before they take it all. He should strongly consider cashing out and leaving only an amount he is willing to lose in ETH.

Hell, given my distaste for crypto, if I were more unethical I may even attempt such scams, but I’d balance it out by donating the stolen money to environmental initiatives to combat global warming (after giving myself some fair compensation, I don’t have the skills to get away with hiding $100+ million).
I'm saddened that a repeat of our debate from seven years ago won't be forthcoming today. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8901682 I was looking forward to it.

If you ever do want to probe deeper into the question of ethics vs cost, I think it would be interesting. But since you keep talking about me rather than the idea, the interest feels one-sided.
