I certainly believe SPE is the future but not as an immediate replacement to ethernet for the following reasons:

- BASE-T1 PHYs and connectors are going to be more expensive than cheapo BASE-T PHYs and RJ-45s for a while.

- The entire industry is based around BASE-T, try finding off-the-shelf mobile imaging hardware (or other embedded sensors) that supports BASE-T1.

- BASE-T technology is less fragile, ultimately a single pair is more susceptible to signal loss / reflections and needs more complex encoding/transmission schemes to overcome this. (For example, 100BASE-T uses 25MHz, two states, four pairs. 100BASE-T1 uses a 33.33MHz, three states on a single pair. This reduces the tolerable noise floor and requires the use of better cabling. 100Mbit ethernet is damn-near indestructible I've found. (There is another alternative here which I will get to in a moment).

Despite these issues, SPE's benefits will win out for mobile applications that have Size and Weight requirements. GigaBit speeds (or even up to 10 gigabit) on a single pair is just too damn tempting and can translate directly into better products. Want an example? Imaging you're making a payload for a drone; you probably use slip rings and your electrical contacts are limited. Using SPE means you can cram more data down the same slip rings, resulting in higher resolution imaging compared to a competitor using standard ethernet.

My understanding is that 10BASE-T1L is designed for long reach applications like factory automation, to connect between clusters of devices using 10BASE-T1S (all sitting on the same pair of wires). 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 are for ideally for mobile applications.

Anyway this is all theoretical, it so happens that I run a hardware startup called BotBlox where I design compact ethernet hardware. I've designed a compact 1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-T1 converter, partly as a working prototype to get used to this technology. I believe there needs to be affordable, compact bridging hardware BASE-T and BASE-T1, and I intend to develop it.

My current tests with 1000BASE-T1 is that the range is not near 40m, I managed to get around 10m before it dies. I need to do more testing on this to see whether it's the cabling, and the firmware I made.

I have a 10BASE-T to 10BASE-T1L board in manufacture because I'm ridiculously excited about the prospect of 1.6km copper transmission. We'll see how this goes.

Anyway, there's a link below. The chip shortage has destroyed my ability to scale up on this board, hence the high price. I expect once chip shortages abate, achieving a $100 price point on this kind of board is achievable.

Thank you.

Let's posit that I'm completely batshit insane and deluded and imagining that I have a genetic disorder and imagining that I'm getting better when doctors say that cannot be done. Let's assume the critics and haters are correct in that regard.

It has zero bearing on whether or not fasting would help with HIV. Even if you sincerely believe that I'm completely nuts, you could have a constructive good faith discussion with me about the medical details of how HIV works and whether or not fasting has any reasonable hope of being useful treatment for that specific condition.

And if I were nuts, talking to me about exactly how HIV works without being ugly and dismissive might make me less crazy and help find my way back from insanity to some kind of healthy relationship to reality whereas the kind of engagement I all too often get on medical topics is crazy making.
Absolute garbage.
you're right thanks! Updated :)
I agree with most of the findings in that article, but I miss one very important one: consistency.

Jobs in your queue in the database can be committed in the same transaction that makes the mutation. With redis you have no such thing. Leading to (been there, it hurt) potentially missing jobs or queuing jobs that have no associated mutation in the db.

Furthermore, a big downside of redis is that it's promise of consistency is low. Mostly by design: redis is not meant to be the primary, one and only store of truth. Commonly, people store stuff in redis that can be re-built from database or some eventlog or so.
But not sidekiq. If your redis starts failing (been there, it hurts), e.g. though OOM errors, you are loosing data. Jobs, with their parameters, are dropped, often irrecoverably. And with Rails' common set-up, this means you are irrecoverably loosing data: there simply is no way to find what emails you did not send, nor any way to re-queue them. There is no way to re-enqueue those "generateReport" jobs using the data at that point in time and so on.

Basically: Redis is quite certainly not the best tool to store your job-queues with associated data, in. Sidekiq is the less sturdy approach of both.

How about this. What holds quarks together? Electrostatic force. Because charges in a line:

+2 -1 +2

Will be pulled together, not pushed apart. If coming from infinity they will reach the speed of light at some distance. Hand wave some relativity now because our Hadron just became a sort of black hole. Are they orbiting inside, outside, on on the event horizon. IDK but...

These orbiting charges create a magnetic field. What holds a nucleus together? Magnetism, along with some particular interaction of the quark charges similar to the above.

Some very complicated dynamics going on.

We work with a rather large upstream scientific codebase in python. They have an innate distrust of anything that isn't written by them.

Their testing system depends on tests printing "OK" after every test. This means that in many cases, tests failing are indicated by the _absence_ of "OK" being printed.

(We've attempted to isolate those parts and write our own stuff testing against upstream in pytest. We once presented a proposal to move them to pytest, offering to do any work and even wrote pytest plugins to seamlessly integrate with their current system. We got a - literal - "Thanks, but no thanks.")
>> Let's apply the same logic to India

A neighbouring country like Nepal or Sri Lanka can if they desire in the future merge with Bharat without having to "intergrate" or change themselves in any way.

That is because they have a shared cultural and historical continuity as part of an ancient civilisation. And India is pluralistic in its very nature.

European nations a too narrow in their idea of nation - linguistic, cultural. It would be impossible for them to expand beyond this narrow idea.

I've done a number of charge backs over the years, and they most often are painless. I did have one not go my way though. A hotel I stayed at charged my credit card $100 for parking. I had taken a taxi to get to the hotel. They refused to listen to me, so I did a charge back. They sent my bank a copy of a parking receipt that had no identifying information on it, just basically said, "overnight parking, $100". My bank said that was good enough, and reversed the charge back, no appeal allowed.

But at least the other time a merchant pushed back on a charge back, it worked out better. A South American airline charged me for a flight between two cities in a continent I had never even been to in my life. They used as proof a record that simply showed the flight did actually fly. My bank sided with me.
> Thus, increased acceptance of cryptocurrencies would result in effective ‘Dollarization’ of our economy6. Dollarization, it is well understood, would undermine the ability of authorities to control money supply or interest rates, as monetary policy would not have any impact on the non-Rupee currencies or payment instruments. When that happens, India loses not just its currency, a defining feature of its sovereignty, but its policy control of the economy. With loss of traction for monetary policy, the ability to control inflation would be materially weakened.

If I transacted in, say, cans of beans, would that also undermine sovereignty and control of the economy?

Sounds to me that the mentioned sovereignty and control are very fragile. Sovereignty should come through consent of citizens and voluntary participation, not tyranny.

And since the Rupee devalued 2.4 times against the USD in the past 27 years, I argue that such inflation control was abused, punishing savers and encouraging debt, essentially translating to financial repression.
Dude. This is HN. The only right answer is Jobs.
I mean - from a sensible discussion perspective, DO we need to evade all government control? I hate paying my taxes as much as I'm sure you do and yeah, it absolutely stings when I see them wasting £500k on a "ban E2E encryption campaign" (or all the other idiotic shit that goes on), but ultimately I kind of like having my bins emptied, my roads smooth, a fire department, a National Health Service, my bank account protected etc etc.

People may not trust the government (and I say this from the UK, so I appreciate I'm still relatively lucky all things considered), but in terms of evading Government controls, I can't believe we won't see governments thinking about this if more people are choosing to find ways around obscuring their income and contributions to the things that keep society from completely falling apart.

FWIW - not arguing against cryptocurrency, just positing idea that the whole my-finances-are-secret bank-yourself crypto utopia might not be all that.

Well, mostly. But say you know the name that's redacted belongs to a small group (eg: US president since 1970 to today) - you could probably rule out (and mabye rule-in, determine) the redacted name, based on font-size, kerning etc in the document.

I wonder how fare a machine learning model could go, for longer reports - say 1000 pages with ~100 pages redacted - and the style of writing could be approximately inferred from the visible content - how many sentences/paragraphs could the AI fill in with some probability?

> 8. Be suspicious of awards. The pursuit of creative awards seduces creative people from the pursuit of sales.

I don't know if such awards are common all over the world, but I have always found them puzzling. You should already be happy and feel awarded if you help your client with great sales.

The same thing with movie and music awards. You make something and you reward should be the joy of knowing that the people are enjoying your performance; easily measured in many ways both in former days and now. Instead these artists get multiple awards: The recognition in "the market", the payment, the awards . . .

I would rather see awards given to people unselfishly caring for other people; people working unpleasant shifts in the scorching sun or blistering cold to make the society a little better . . . They should have awards!

I think a problem with statistical deaths is that deaths can be double counted. If you did a meta-study and added up all the claimed deaths, wouldn't there be more statistical deaths than actual deaths? I also suspect that it's fairly likely that statistical deaths are based on comparing actual deaths to a hypothetical model in which the statistical cause of death is removed, but if the assumptions of the model are wrong, the statistical deaths it implies will also be wrong, even by orders of magnitude. How do we prove that the models make valid assumptions?

I somehow feel it is a pitty that Knuth went on to design his own method for describing mathematical expressions, as his seems to less semantic and more based on representation. Note how in his notation the two '_' have a total different semantic meaning, while in eqn different syntax is used. His method is a more consize, but even not that much, but her method is much closer to how the resulting expression is read. I did have a look at the paper mentioned and note that terms like 'sub' and 'sup' are also related to position. An even more semantic approach probably would use 'x power 2' instead of 'x sup 2'.
Ahh I see this is a double edged sword. That being said this effort and those championing it (protesting vaccine mandates) are in the wrong.

Yes, it can happen. In practice is not a big deal because the kind of stuff that you would want to run at comptime is pretty much all logic that manipulates its inputs without other side-effects, but one could for example add logging to a function and break its ability to be run at comptime (Zig might add in the future ways of solving this problem).

I would say that more in general the problem between public interface vs implementation details is much bigger than any type system and requires humans to negotiate what should be considered part of the public interface through other means (eg: tests, comments). Comptime is one example, another is ABI stability (eg the layout of a struct, or just its size), another could be speed or memory consumption.

Zig doesn't have an official package manager yet, we'll see what happens once we get one and people in the community have to start communicating stability guarantees to their users.

Yes. Laws are also being passed to intentionally decrease the number of polling places available, especially in counties dominated by the party that is not in power.

> This is, like, Intro To Civics level stuff

I agree, but only because Intro to Civics probably skips over the more advanced topics like America's fraught history of use of land ownership, poll taxes, and literacy tests to deprive people of their citizen-guaranteed right to vote. As an American citizen, I'm not actually required to carry ID; therefore, imposing an ID requirement on my right to vote can be interpreted as a stealth literacy test ("Oh, you didn't know you needed an ID? No vote for you."). It is a reasonable position to treat any new such requirement as suspect (and a reasonable position to disagree).

Another related piece of advice is that you should not use blur to hide sensitive information because blur is actually a mathematically reversible operation ! It's quite surprising at first but the information is still there, it has just been spread out. If you know the shape of the kernel and have enough resolution then you can unblur the image. You can even apply this process (called deconvolution) to physical blurs like imperfections in telescope optics. In practice however bit resolution is often too low to have good results.

You should also be careful with video, since it contains many frames it might be possible to reverse rougher pixelations or blurs than would be possible with a still image. There exist various superresolution algorithm that can extract high-resolution images from multiple low-resolution video frames.

> think a problem with statistical deaths is that deaths can be double counted.

Anyone worth a crap uses some sort of time based metric for loss of life. Wheezing into the grave at 80 instead of 81 is very different than dropping dead a 20 and these sorts of metrics are meant to reflect that.

But those metrics don't get you big numbers with lots of digits in front of the decimal that get your article publishes, posted on HN and then clicked on in droves.

The people doing the primary research often are aiming for accuracy but they are done a disservice by shortsighted people optimizing for a few extra cents of add revenue or a few more upvotes.
