>DDR5 provides both data and clock rates that double the performance up to at least 7,200 MB/s. Additionally, DDR5 lowers the operating voltage to 1.1V.

hmm? 7GB/s is the performance that modern disks achieve

edit. nvm: When it comes to bandwidth, DIMMs provide 38.4 GB/s or 44.8GB/s

I do wonder when disks will be close to RAM sticks because gap seems to be closing.

It'd be nice to do not have to buy RAM sticks and just use small 1TB NVMe M2 disk as both - ram and disk

That is what I'm expecting because that is what the competition they're trying to protect from ewaste with this weird product is already basically offering. My last laptop I've used for 10 years. A good gaming desktop will stay relevant for at least 10 years. Microsoft will support it for longer than that
Everyone's context is different, but I've found the exact opposite to be true. Airflow is simple and dumb enough that it can be easily understood and managed by a small team, but it's also flexible and powerful enough that we can't come up with a good enough reason to switch to anything else.*

*We are, however, becoming more and more reliant on dbt, and the article makes a good point about Airflow providing no visibility for what's going on in a dbt node. So we're ending up with an increasingly simpler Airflow dag, with most of the complexity hidden inside a single dbt node.
Because CompactFlash is one of the most overpriced things in the universe I guess?

I've been a happy Linode customer for a full decade now. One thing I've always appreciated is that they grew sustainably and sensibly, keeping a focus on core competencies (VMs, disks, networking) rather than offering dozens of new services a year to keep pace with AWS, GCP, etc. Compared to the confusing, complex, and often buggy interfaces provided by Big Cloud, Linode has always been a breath of fresh air. I hope Akamai will realize that Linode customers really value this simplicity. Don't complect it!
I had the same reaction. I wouldn’t be surprised if you could even formalize it and say that all information processing takes place on this edge between stability and chaos. That’s where all interesting/useful Turing machines live, for example.
Yes, which would put it in a pretty much different category of thing than is usually meant by "drug." On the other hand, how many times have you heard "works by binding to the same active site as <something the body produces>"? It'd be cool if we could get the body to produce more of that something.
I think it's supposed to run on BusyBox.
He wasn't charged with burning down the building -- others were -- that is correct. In any case, a Boogaloo dipshit drove from Texas to Minnesota and was at the site of the police precinct that was burned down and then bragged to his friends that he burned it down.. all the while communicating with the boog dipshit who murdered the police officers in Oakland.

> For example, On May 30, HUNTER sent a message to another individual stating, "I set fire to that precinct with the black community," followed by "Minneapolis third precinct." On May 31, HUNTER sent the following message to another individual: "My mom would call the fbi if she knew what I do and at the level I'm at w[ith] it."

> HUNTER posted other messages on Facebook about his activities in Minneapolis. On June 10, HUNTER posted "I've burned police stations with black panthers in Minneapolis" and "I helped the community bum down that police station in Minneapolis." HUNTER also posted, "I didn't' protest peacefully Dude ... Want something to change? Start risking felonies for what is good."

So by his own words, he helped burn it down. DOJ couldn't find enough to charge him with that -- and by no means were the BBs the only ones causing violence & destruction in MN during the riots -- but the immediate presence of a 'fire team' of far-right agitators sure seems important.
Look, we are random internet people, and it's a "me vs. you" scenario, but as someone who worked at Linode in 2012, we were a small company, that all worked out of one office, with like 3 admins at the time. Yes, there were various hacks. Yes, there were silly vulns, but positing that one of the employees at that time stole bitcoin is something that I won't stand for.

Could it have happened, sure. Do I think that it was an inside job? No, not at all. 99% of the people there at that time thought Bitcoin was insanely dumb, and I suspect most of us still do.
Same, but DO as well.
I think he means vintage gaming, especially arcade games that used 15 Hz monitors.
No, they say that arms are expanded and contracted, but this means that measured speed of light must c±delta, while measured speed of light is in c...c-delta range. AFAIK.

Moreover, if arms are just expanded/contracted, i.e. it's density wave, then gravitational waves and light from distant mergers should arrive at the same time ± few milliseconds, while light arrived 1.7 seconds later, i.e. light is slower by 1E-15.

Moreover, somebody told me that density wave is not possible for gravitation, because gravitons should be massless(of course) spin-2 particles. IMHO it a wave of flips or deflections.

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_of_light

Anyway, Higgs «field», which gives mass, exists, so a medium, which exists at any point of our Univers, exists, so gravitational waves are waves in a g-medium, which is connected to the Higgs medium somehow, thus, for gravitation, c is speed of gravitation in the medium.

For light, it should be same. I see no reason to say that c is the speed of gravitation in g-medium, while light propagates in pure nothing and c is the top speed in the pure nothing. Nonsense.
CNNs are a classic class of ANNs, still widely used in computer vision applications. You will want to look into the transformer architecture though after that, as they are all the rage these days, especially in NLP tasks.
awww, fuck.

I used Slicehost for years, but they got swallowed by Rackspace and became unusable. Linode has been my home since then. I have no positive experiences with small providers who get swallowed by corporate borgs. :(
That was my point.

The JWST was so complex in part because the mirror was so large it had to have the complicated unfolding mechanism to even fit on the choosen vehicle. When Starship is in service, I imagine a replacement for JWST with the same mirror size oculd be developed for much cheaper because it wouldn't have to be so complex. Or it have an even larger mirror.

But JWST development went hand in hand with the capabilities of the launch vehicle for a decade or more. You can't just put that same payload on another rocket. It's part of the design process. It will take time for the capabilities of Starship to flow into the design process for even larger payloads that otherwise just aren't possible today.

Having spoken to a lot of Android users, and being a former rampant Android fanboy myself, I think people are fed up of getting screwed by Android vendors. The software support doesn't last particularly long, the support and repair networks for all the devices are terrible leaving you in the hands of dubious independent repairers and the longevity of the devices is poor. Also the accessory ecosystem is the usual crapfest of not knowing what you're getting, it barely even working properly and then being stuck with it.
We've moved to AWS since, but we started our early cloud infra on Linode and was always so impressed by their customer support. Genuine good quality. Let's hope it keeps going well.

Have been using CloudReady for a couple of years on a Lenovo X201s used by the kids. Performance is excellent.
Yeah. For better or worse that'll put you in a more Machiavellian mindset. It's an excellent book, but I definitely recall feeling like it stunted my emotional growth and perception of the world for a few years after I first read it.
That's interesting, I don't get that option on Chrome on iPhone (Search Engine > Recently visited), except for the officially supported five (Google, Bing, Yahoo, DDG, Ecosia).

I'm wondering do you see that as an option visiting our site (we have an opensearch description for Andi also) or other search engines like You with one?

Very curious.
That article is factually incorrect about obesity. Rates aren't similar in Canada and the US. In 2020 the rates were 28% in Canada versus 42% in the US. We know that obesity is a serious risk factor for COVID-19 death so that must account for part of the difference.
A phrase I've heard that demonstrates that concept is "hiding your power level"

Only a Sith deals in absolutes, but I do think the odds of success are tilted in favour of greedy manipulative liars and against kind, honest, decent folk. We used to have religion to convince people that it was OK because the rich were getting the short end of the stick in eternity, but now it's just sad.

Basically, the Soviets squeezed all they could out of them and didn't need them any more.

They were very, very helpful—much more than the USSR liked to acknowledge—to the early Soviet rocket program, but even with their help, Russia had something like only four ICBMs capable of reaching the US during the "Missile Gap" that JFK in part won the presidency in 1960 over.
The quality of transcription on Gutenberg is rough, especially for older transcriptions. Standard eBooks are much higher quality, but selection is limited because of the effort gap.

I processed two books from Gutenberg for SE (Devil's Dictionary and a smaller scifi novel) and both were quite a bit of work to bang the books into shape (half the work was metadata enhancement, half was proofreading and correcting)

EDIT: After comparing, it's definitely just the raw Gutenburg scan w/formatting. You can see a big batch of fixed typos that weren't applied here: https://github.com/standardebooks/ambrose-bierce_the-devils-...

"It is obvious that serving ads creates misaligned incentives for search engines..."

I don’t think this is the problem. The problem is the need for public companies to grow exponentially. If you take away the need to constantly grow exponentially, then ads on search can be both balanced well and make an insane amount of money.

Ask HN: Is there a way for me to ensure I'm never able to downvote on HN?
This may seem like a strange request, but I really enjoy HN because I don't see a downvote icon attached to comments. I only think to interact with a comment if I want to upvote them and show support or leave a friendly comment. It's a very positive flow.

As of now, when I see a comment I don't agree with, I just scroll past. Once I hit a certain point threshold and acquire the downvote ability (I'm not too far off), I fear I may start paying more attention to the lower quality comments because I'll feel like I need to help out HN by downvoting them.

I guess I associate downvoting someone's post with some sort of 'negative' mental response. The 'no downvote' zone is great and I would like to remain here. If removing the downvote feature isn't possible, could a mod reset my point score to zero?

Thanks!
Don’t! Keep your pitch deck as is, I say find the right investors who take your side than you caving in to the status quo, tech is different than Wall Street you _can_ make a positive sum contribution (where everyone wins) while monetizing (it’s usually a bit longer game but worth it)

The CRT, in its original sense, was a somewhat incredible crossroads in technological history. The combo of higher-vacuum and high-voltage allowed people to start fiddling around with glowy glass tubes in the late 1800s.

In 1895 Röntgen was messing with such a device trying to understand cathode rays when he discovered and published on x-rays (leading to medical diagnostics, x-ray diffraction, understanding of ionic bonds and modern chemistry, and the discovery that DNA had a double-helical structure).

This caused much excitement. Soonafter Becquerel was looking into x-rays in CRTs when he discovered natural radiation (leading directly to the field of nuclear physics, nuclear medicine, nuclear weapons, and nuclear power plants).

In 1897, J.J. Thompson discovered (using a CRT) that those very cathode rays were actually new particles known as electrons (leading to the photoelectric effect, general relativity, quantum physics, solar panels).

Right after that, people turned the CRT into the vacuum tube (leading to long-distance telephone networks, radio amplifiers, the electric guitar, the Beatles, Katy Perry).

And then of course if you stick some electromagnets around the CRT beam you can shake them around and draw out moving pictures, and you get the CRT we all know and love (and is written about in OP article).

I agree, that for most calculations those details are unnecessary and can be avoided. However, existence of something is not depended on it necessity for us.

Moreover, AFAIK (I'm not a real scientist, so beware), Higgs «field» and medium for gravitational waves (g-medium?) are two different mediums, because Higgs boson is spin-0 and it gives mass, while graviton is spin-2 and is massless.
And it's crazy expensive for a peripheral that's not going to have any modern games for it. Which is fine for wealthy middle-aged folks chasing nostalgia, but generations of kids are growing up without that experience. At best, they might have experienced a (terrible) wiimote gun game.

Congrats Linode. Been a user since they launched. Even the diehards (like me) have moved a lot to AWS and competitors. Lindode's biz feels stuck in the previous decade, and I think the $900MM purchase price reflects that. Hopefully the founders had a great exit and move on to create new amazing things! Best of luck to the Linode team.

The tooling (or lack thereof) is the only problem I have with recfiles. It quickly gets unpleasant entering the (repetitive) metadata every time (and the CLI entry isn't much better). I get the impression from the recfiles page that the Emacs plugin is the main supported one, and maybe that one has a good UI flow that makes it usable, but I don't use Emacs.

I thought/hoped visidata would solve the problem. It has decent support for recfiles display - just being able to get a tabular view of the data is very useful - but the editing support is pretty unintuitive and full of footguns.
It’s a way to consume the web — an ever larger and growing share of where you do or can do your work, consume entertainment and socialize — with a modern and up-to-date browser on computers that may no longer be supported by Microsoft or Apple.
In principle, I can't contradict anything in this article with my own experience.

The coup de grâce for me came with a cell carrier switch, after which Google began constantly nagging me to complete captchas when I searched. That annoyance started amplifying all of the other piques I'd had with Google (including progressively less-relevant results as time went on).

I found myself constantly using quotes and minuses to get the results I wanted from Google, and appending keywords like "wiki" to prefer specific sources.

The day that the realization hit me- that I was really just using Google as an unnecessary entry point for other search engines, all of which had their own perfectly good search interfaces- was the day Google ceased to be my default across all of my platforms.

My default "generic" search engine is now Qwant, and if I specifically want Wikipedia or Amazon or eBay or Reddit or anything else, why, it's just a simple drop down away. Level of abstraction removed, and as a bonus, the blasted captchas are gone.
The 1541 was slow also because of the firmware. There was this kit that I bought sometime in the 80s which, if memory serves, consisted of EPROMs and a small board to be swapped into the C64 and the disk drive in place of their original firmware, then a parallel cable to connect the drive to the C64 via the user port. The firmware also added a much more advanced BASIC interpreter and some utilities. Curiously, by using the parallel cable disk operations became dramatically faster than with the original DIN connector as expected, but if I removed the parallel cable say because I needed the user port, it continued to work, clearly not at the same speed, but still a lot faster than when using the original ROM, so there probably was some room for optimization in the original firmware too. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of that kit, it was one of the many "turbo" this or that on the market at that time, and by today standards looked definitely homemade.
Comparing Jax on TPU vs Numpy on CPU does not make any sense. Of course a GEMM hardware accelerator will be much faster than a general purpose CPU. What is the point of this comparison? You either run the same code on different hardware, or different code on the same hardware.

A much more interesting comparison would be CuPy or Pytorch code vs Jax code running on A100.
