Happens like that on some federal grant program employees. It is a bit harder to get that information though. Many school districts also publish all salaries and that has come up a lot in politics in the US.

Which is why those news are clickbait title. For a node that is expected to enter volume production by the end of 2022 / early 2023, having yield issue in Q1 2022 is completely normal. Compared to Samsung which is still having yield issues now on their current 5nm / 4nm node.
I'd be all for stigmatization if the ranking wasn't absolutely bonkers. Between advertising and porn, advertising is worse for the collected psyche. It is a constant onslaught that tells everyone to want, and never relents. Porn can be avoided approximately 10,000 times more easily than advertising.
Oh, we “get” crypto. What we also “get”, and what crypto people don’t, are the systems crypto is trying to replace and why the aspects crypto people think are flaws (centralization, arbitration, ability to reverse transactions) are all features

The court system's responsiveness to sex crimes could be greatly improved if we had the collective will to do so. But the problem is both in the courts specifically (because of who the judges are, and who the legislators who write our laws are), and also the wider world. Victim blaming and dismissal/minimizing of the harm inflicted are par for the course everywhere, in the justice system, in the general population, and in many subgroups. (You'll see them here on HN all the time.)

I think it's more likely that Taiwan would destroy their own fabs before allowing China to take them.
The way they rephrased also simply omitted detail, which doesn't seem like a fair comparison. I'd much rather see an example where no detail is lost but would still have wider comprehension. Literally dumbing it down by stripping detail doesn't seem like a clear best practice.
We've had people kicking down our doors (figuratively) for the filtering feature. I have no doubt ES is getting the same feedback and is working on it.

> I wonder if there actually some fundamental reason they won't be able to do so.

This is where it gets interesting. I don't think there's anything a company with ES's resources can't do if they really want to. However...

ES's vector search is based on Lucene 9.0, which in turn uses the HNSW vector index. HNSW is shaky when it comes to CRUD updates (namely deletions), and flat out does not support metadata filtering: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-10040

Even with ES resources, it's a fundamentally hard problem. In the best case it's going to take a while to implement.
KIMdle: Sorta-Wordle for the KIM-1 (in under 1KB)
Russ argues that since you can compile lots of valid C programs as C++, surely C++ "can't lose" but this is a revealing error.

It's true that lots of valid C programs are also valid C++ programs but it is not true that those programs will mean the same thing when treated as C++, nor does it mean that all C++ compilers are automatically just as good at optimising all possible valid programs as C compilers, and so the code which you get out and then measure may be quite different.
Good questions! A lot of these problems have already been solved in Submarines and spacecraft. All you really need is access to water which can be shipped or possibly even mined from the lunar surface.

In an environment that large, they would probably not use CO2 scrubbers except in emergencies. They could either isolate CO2 using cryogenics and dump it overboard or convert it into methane using the Sabatier process for use in Starship. Access to cryogenic temperatures would be available during the lunar night. Otherwise they would need a heat pump to dump enough heat into the ground. Alternatively there are experiments using an algae farm, however that would probably be a much later development.

Oxygen production is remarkably easy. With water, hydrolysis is perfectly acceptable even if it's terribly inefficient. You could even feed in water left over from the Sabatier process. For emergencies, there are chemical oxygen candles and liquid O2 storage.

As for why we would put people on the moon there are several reasons. Initially tourism would be the main driver. How much would you pay to go and spend a week on the moon? There are 56.1 million people who have more than a million dollars to their name. There are 2755 billionaires with friends and family who may want to put their footprints in regolith.

More practically, there are distinct industrial advantages to a 1/10 gravity pure vacuum environment. Experiments at the ISS have illuminated a few of these things like fiber optics, chemistry, and metallurgy. Lunar vacuum is better than most laboratory vacuum chambers. In addition there are tons of scientific reasons to go to the moon. Physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, botany, etc...

Finally, there is the Mars angle. While re-fueling in orbit using Starship is pretty awesome, being able to stage on the Moon would provide infrastructure for launches to interplanetary space. Using the Earth as a gravity assist we can launch from the Moon to anywhere in the solar system using bare fractions of the Delta-V used by Earth rockets. A self sustaining colony on the Moon would also be a great way to help man take the first steps to becoming an interplanetary species in a relatively reachable location.
The versioning scheme used in Go may be somewhat misleading to outsiders. There are often significant runtime changes between versions, but only the minor version is bumped. For example, adding generics to C# (among other things) prompted the C# team to bump the version of the language from 1 to 2. Go adds generics in 1.18, and if you don't follow the news, you won't know it's not just a minor improvement over 1.17, but one can say a whole paradigm shift (we've been waiting for generics for 13 years). So perhaps many people think there's nothing wrong about using old benchmarks for Go 1.10 because it doesn't feel like a lot must have changed between 1.10 and 1.18

1. Correct. We want users to be able to buy a new HMD and plug in their old compute pack, or a new compute pack and plug it into their old HMD. The compute pack itself is also upgradable (we're based off Intel's NUC Compute Elements, so it's easy to upgrade to a new CPU for example).

Component-level upgradability in the HMD itself is more difficult, but not impossible. There's a solid amount of breathing room and things are modular, so you could e.g. replace the cameras or the display/optics assembly etc.

2. Battery replacement: It'll be able to run off a USB-PD power adapter and the battery, while internal, will be easily user-replacable.
> There is a real stigma, and it will affect you. Beware.

Small anecdote, but I was recruited by and almost took an offer for the folks behind "BangBros." Their corporate structure was apparently such that the IT / Software roles worked for a shell company with a generic name, generic website, etc. This company apparently works in a "consulting" like capacity for all of their assets (BangBros, "tube" sites, cam sites, etc.)

I asked what was going on with the shell company, because it seemed sketchy as all hell. It was explained that because of industry stigma most of their employees use the shell company for their resume with generic "worked on highly-scalable systems handling N amount of traffic."

Apparently it was a highly professional outfit, and the closest you could get to dealing with FANG-level problems while not being a FANG-eligible person. Great pay and benefits, business casual dress located in a nice building in Miami Beach.

> I would expect any software to come with security fixes, and bug fixes, even after purchase, even when I don't pay for a recurring fee.

So let me get this straight. You expect to pay for anything that naturally requires maintenance just once and then expect an unlimited amount of maintenance (i.e. cost for that provider) in perpetuity? Think about that for a second and then explain to me why any business would ever offer such a thing.

Just to be clear - there are endless amounts of software providers who support perpetual licenses but they either have annual maintenance contacts or support cycles tied to version support. In either case, you essentially are paying a recurring fee whether you like it or not.

Hybrid work trend drives PC maker Lenovo's Q3 profit to record high
For a period of time, I had a schedule where I would wake up around 1-3PM, and then only leave the house to go out (gym, groceries, etc) after about 11PM.

I lived in a small-ish suburb at the time, and it was surreally peaceful. I went months where the only person I ran into was the cashier at the grocery checkout an occasional other person in the aisles of the store, I could exercise in peace, there were almost no cars on the road.

It was very nice.

I'm happily syncing org-mode with git, so I might not be your target market, but I consider every new note-taking app as I don't think that anyone's got it perfect yet.

My constructive feedback is solely the cost. I get that the servers are expensive and I actually do prefer to pay rather than worry that the lights of my note-taking app might go out some day. But $8 per month is far too steep. For $1 per month I'd sign up and feel like I'm getting a bargain, and tell my friends. For $2 per month I'd seriously consider signing up but it's not a given. Any more than that, and I can't really consider the app.
> less likely to ask for higher salaries and raises.

Of all the apologetics around pay gap, I think this is the one that many people could agree is the least fair. The company knows you're worth more, they can feasibly pay you more, they pay someone similarly skilled and talented more. But they do not simply because of a conversation at the very beginning of accepting a role (and once a year). Talk about an abusive angle. That's like saying to a child "Oh you could have got a PS5 and a game for your birthday, but you only asked for a new game for your ps4"... Employers should be seeking ways to retain talent and underpaying is a ticking timebomb.

The cost of rehiring is MASSIVE:

ad/promotion cost for the role(indeed), at least 100 hours of interview time (across candidates), 1/3rd the salary to the recruiter, 3-6 months of gradual training before they're "highly productive", losing 1-3 months of adopting team's productivity to training that person, losing the institutional knowledge of the outgoing person. Losing the opportunity of having a tenured person to promote into a higher level that is even more expensive to hire for. Not to mention the opportunity cost of the work that could have been done (eg if instead all those resources made your product better)

It's asinine to think someone would risk losing an employee over $20k when those costs above easily amount to 10x that.
Congratulations and good luck! I really like the service.

However, as someone who relies a lot on Hetzner and AWS, it would be hard to justify a X10 increase in cost.
I run my ClickHouse clusters in ax101 servers in Hetzner for roughly 110€/month while similar specs seem to cost 1226 USD/month.

Trust me, I'd like to externalise it but not at this cost :)
I think I understand why Nintendo heavily protects their IP. Their strategy dates back to when Nintendo first expanded into the US in the 1980s after the video game crash of 1983 (which partially happened because of the overwhelming amount of low quality games being produced then)[1]. They deeply care about quality and being associated with it. When they launched the NES, they heavily filtered 3rd party studios and created the "Golden Seal of Approval" for all of their licensed games. Their strategy works. People trust Nintendo to give them high quality entertainment. They even went as far as designing the NES box to look like a VCR appliance, not a video game console, all because of the negative association people had after the VG crash!

So expanding from that, they (rightfully, from a business culture perspective) don't want their IP being tampered with, nor associated with a product they themselves did not create. Nintendo probably spends a much higher percentage on R&D than the average video game company. They don't want all their efforts to be watered down from mimicry. They don't want someone to see Mario in a meme post on YouTube and associate Mario with that video. They want Mario to equate to the production quality they work really hard to produce again and again.

You're wrong about Nintendo being hated. People love them, because they trust Nintendo. And Nintendo in turn works extremely hard at building and maintaining that trust.

I love that they fully embrace the "sitting at the coffee shop with my VR headset" aesthetic. I'm totally ready to support this vision and preorder one and let my freak flag fly at my local coffee shop!

To each, his own.

To me, the videos of the guy sitting in the park surrounded by trees and birds and nature, but completely blocking them out with his headset is dystopian. The world is wonderful, and if I have to work in it, I prefer to experience it, not pretend it doesn't exist. I say this as someone who regularly does my work on a laptop at a park.

Your vision of blocking out the existence of all of the fellow human beings at the coffee shop is, again to me, similarly dystopian. What's the point of even going? Why not lock yourself in a closet and program a pretend coffee shop to display in your goggles? Coffee is cheaper at home, too.
This looks great! Couple questions…

2.) Any thoughts on S3 support? More and more I see teams using S3 as a data store for certain specific use cases.

You're right. But you're discussing a separate issue. This issue is not about comparing yourself to the starting salaries at other companies. It's about how your pay compares to that of your coworkers, and if the pay practices take advantage of labor (specifically by gender). Are the current new hires at your company making more than you? Even if it's explainable, does that make it right?
That's great news! Is the idea that the headset is physically compatible with the shape of lens inserts for some existing mainstream headset, or will you be partnering with Reloptix and other vendors?

It would be very helpful to have this information somewhere prominently in your marketing materials.
I am not the person you were originally responding to, but I believe that this protest has been handled in a particularly poor way.

The commercial border crossings were all opened in nonviolent fashion by the police before the emergencies act was passed. The only remaining protest, which seemed to honestly be the most effective group, was the one in Ottawa.

By many accounts, they did not get anyone in government to actually listen to them: Trudeau's government refused to speak with the protesters, and instead went into hiding until they could figure out how to use force to get these people to leave. If Trudeau had eaten crow and published his plan for lifting mandates, they may well have dispersed. What seemed to occur instead was that the LPC (in conjunction with the NDP and the CBC) used disinformation to circle the wagons and make excuses for a dramatic escalation in force, while refusing to publish a plan for the lifting of mandates. Contrast that with the BLM protests recently, where you saw a lot of dialogue between the government and the protesters and a relatively peaceful dispersal of the protest.

Make no mistake, "account freezes" are not a normal consequence of protest, even of violent riots. The Canadian government is also talking about similar things like revoking licenses, removing insurance, killing peoples' pets, and selling peoples' trucks and keeping the excess beyond what they need to cover fines. For all of these discussions, the Trudeau government is rightly being panned as tyrannical and dictatorial.

The "win condition" of civil disobedience is usually to get some imagery of the police or the government doing something really brutal in response to your protest. Trampling a Native American elder with a horse (and then lying about nobody being hurt and then lying about someone throwing a bike) and freezing normal peoples' bank accounts are pretty solid win conditions for this particular protest. By that standard, the Canadian truckers have been heard loud and clear around the world, and they don't need to keep it up, but they did need to stay until the government responded with violence.

I wonder how reliable the data store is since it’s not using a traditional database. Mainly thinking about performance and consistency.
Everything about that gif is a lie. There is no way you will be able to drink comfortably from a coffee cup with that headset on (just like its not comfortable to do so with an oculus). I like how the clip cuts just at the point where he would bang the cup against the headset.

But really its the lack of disdain on all the other people's faces that makes it painfully unrealistic.
An Intel employee explained their code-naming on white-box server chassis/motherboard combinations back in the late 90s. There were chassis named things like "Balboa" and "Cabrillo". Motherboards were named things like "Buckeye", "Redwood", and "Sitka". He said "We've never been sued by a dead explorer or a tree."

Oh wow! May i inquire about your age and location of living? That sort of view is considered wildly obsolete in my circles, so I'm curious.
This looks like a decent deal looking deeper into it.

Things that weren't obvious on first pass:

(1) The VR specs are much higher than consumer level. I suspect this is what makes it reasonable to read text on it. The comparison headset is this: https://varjo.com/products/aero/ (They named it, but didn't google it)

(2) They said "VR Computer" but don't define the term. They mean that it's a full PC with a headset instead of a regular display. Oddly they don't include a mouse or keyboard.

My feedback for Simula one:

(0) The value proposition here is (a) the included equipment and (b) the software. They together have to justify the price at some level.

(1) You have to really push the point that this is a full computer, not another headset. I suggest you include a keyboard/mouse, and include it in the pictures with the headset (the pictures with just the headset, not the ones with the people). Perhaps a keyboard with a trackpad.

(2) Show that the headset is substantially higher-spec than the consumer ones. Show a comparison chart.

(3) Dump the AR coffee shop video. Show AR in a home office. Don't assume/require that your customers are that VR gun-ho.

(4) Show more than a bunch of shells in the VR screenshots. I can alt-tab as fast as I can move my head, with less work. If this is your underlying value proposition, it sucks. I'm sorry. If you have something more interesting, like a combined VR/app environment, then it can work.

(4.1) Is there some useful interactions between 3D visualization and high-quality small-text rendering? If you have good VR/3D developer stories, then this can work.

(5) Simula One - is it Ubuntu with a 3d window manager and custom rendering stack? Does it do anything else? Does it just make a (claustrophobic) shell of windows around the user in VR?

(5.1) Are there any integrations with anything? Like https://blog.jupyter.org/ipygany-jupyter-into-the-third-dime... ipygany?

(5.2) What do you expect people to do with it?

Gas in this case means methane, right?

While it’s technically true that there’s shipping of LNG outside of pipelines, my impression is that the market for methane isn’t currently very global.

My point was that the resurgence of economies and cold winters has driven up US methane prices to 2-2.5x where they were a year ago.

I was specifically responding to a commenter implying Americans aren’t experiencing difficulty paying for heating this year.

How much higher are German rates for methane?
