Some of these numbers are clearly wrong. Some of the old latency numbers seem somewhat optimistic (e.g. 100 ns main memory ref in 1999), some of the newer ones are pessimistic (e.g. 100 ns main memory ref in 2020). The bandwidth for disks is clearly wrong, as it claims ~1.2 GB/s for a hard drive in 2020. The seek time is also wrong. It crossed 10 ms in 2000 and has reduced to 5 ms in 2010 and is 2 ms for 2020. Seems like linear interpolation to me. It's also unclear what the SSD data is supposed to mean before ~2008 as they were not really a commercial product before then. Also, for 2020 the SSD transfer rate is given as over 20 GB/s. Main memory bandwidth is given as 300+ GB/s.

Cache performance has increased massively. Especially bandwidth, not reflected in a latency chart. Bandwidth and latency are of course related; just transferring a cache line over a PC66 memory bus takes a lot longer than 100 ns. The same transfer on DDR5 takes a nanosecond or so, which leaves almost all of the latency budget for existential latency.

Economic Impacts Research at OpenAI
Brave seemed to start out as an ad replacement system. There was a crypto token involved and an ICO. Then they decided to be a Patreon-style support-any-website thing, which turned into legal hot water when they started accepting money for people who hadn't signed up.

Now they seem to be doing the privacy-browser thing, like Firefox was before it went all "spyware on by default".

Then there was a search engine? And now video calls?

This seems like a team and some funding in search of a problem, like a heat-seeking missile without a target. From an outside perspective, the product strategy seems entirely incoherent.

Who are the competitors? Ad networks? ERC20s? Mozilla? DuckDuckGo? Google? Zoom?

I've no idea what is happening with this company, and from a personal standpoint, I don't use products that aren't a component of some larger mission or vision, as they're usually just a quite temporary affair until such time the (seemingly aimless) organization evaporates. Every additional pivot and product launch adds to my confusion and reduces my understanding of (and respect for) the brand.

I have no idea what the Brave brand is supposed to represent, or what the company's stated purpose is. This seems like a major failure of their communications.

EDIT: TFA says "Unlimited, private video calls, right in your browser. No extra apps.". I'm using a browser, but the CTA button says to download an extra app: a different browser. I'm really hoping we're not at the point now where "in browser" now generically means "in the browser I want you to use". That, to me, would be a good and clear sign that apps have killed the web.

EDIT2: It looks like this is also a paid subscription service if you want more than 4 call participants. This adds to my total confusion about Brave's revenue plans. Does this mean I have to pay you and then also shill your browser to my 4+ other callers?

In Germany they have a three track school system which is great:

- The first track is the high school degree that includes 13 years of school and afterwards allows people to attend university. Generally the students with the best grades attend this track. Everybody learns English as a first foreign language starting grade 3 nowadays in all tracks, but starting grade 7 students in this track have to pick either French or Latin as their second (and then in 9th grade have the choice to pick the other one as a third language). Further, math and science education are much faster and better compared to the other tracks.
- The middle track starts learning French as a second foreign language in grade 9 and the whole track only includes 10 years. It is geared towards people that will do an apprenticeship afterwards, for example in business or some other non-university subjects.
- The third track is the lowest track for the worst performing students and does not include any second foreign languages. It's only 9 years of school and these are the people that often go into trades jobs like car mechanics, contractors, etc.

Personally I think this is a great systems. Students that can learn more and faster get to learn with students similar to them and are not slowed down by students that can't keep up. Students in the other tracks afterwards can continue on to eventually get the higher degrees through various different ways if they want and are able to.

It's ok. It certainly doesn't hurt to try it. I tried using it as a daily driver a couple times and went back to Firefox. In my opinion, Vivaldi is better than Brave and I also prefer it to Firefox.
That's a general accusation, but what exactly are you referring to? Can you provide examples?

Propaganda isn't so blatent; it's used because it works.

Sure there is? This story isn't about Nintendo's curated consumer experience - that's perfectly fine - it's about flagrant abuse of the DMCA.
If you're not a fan of the blog post that's cool. But I posted the blog post (and wrote the post in the first place) rather than a Show HN link to the project itself because I thought the process was worth showing as much as the result.

> Yet somehow this is fairly obscure knowledge unless you're into serious game programming or a similar field.

Because the impact in optimizing hardware like that can be not so important in many applications. Getting the absolute most out of your hardware is very clearly important in game programming, but web apps where scale being served is not huge (vast majority)? Not so much. And in this context developer time is more valuable when you can throw hardware at the problem for less.

Traditional game programming you had to run on the hardware people used to play, you are constrained by the client's abilities. Cloud gaming might(?) be changing some of that, but GPUs are super expensive too compared to the rest of the computing hardware. Even in that case the amounts of data you are pushing you need to be efficient within the context of the GPU, my feeling is it's not easily horizontally scaled.
I've made that observation in the past as well- it's quite interesting how Nintendo and Apple both resemble each other in creating iconic products that require intense amounts of control and lock-down. Also they both favor off-white coloring, or used to, for whatever reason.

As Sci-Hub only publishes already open content, you are saying all rich entities should have access to all the research even if they have malicious intent?

Bigger caches could help but as a rule of thumb cache hit rate increases approximately with the square root of cache size, so it diminishes. Then the bigger you make a cache, the slower it tends to be so at some point you could make your system slower by making your cache bigger and slower.

It was very familiar to me from using the Sussex Poplog [0] environment at uni in the early '90s; that worked very similarly. But after MPW I didn't really use environments like it.

Until I played with Jupyter, which is conceptually similar. It's nice to have this sort of environment back.

If you make the accusations more extreme and express them with more anger, does that make them more likely to be true?
I went to the best high school in Australia, James Ruse. At that level gifted education is not really a question of 'gift' anymore but a question of outside tutoring. I was pretty much the only person in my grade that did not do tutoring. Some of my friends essentially had a second school that they would attend for the same length of time as actual school. This is also the reason that Ruse is 99% Asian and selective schools more generally overrepresent Asians; it seems like it's much more likely, culturally, for Asians to send their kids to tutoring than other groups. That's why can't I take seriously any of the hysteria about China taking over because of their 'superior work ethic' that you sometimes see; I've seen these kids, and a) they all did their assignments at the last minute and b) it wouldn't be that bad if they did take over because they are all perfectly normal people, not robots. Their parents just pay a man to lock them in a dungeon until they're able to integrate by parts at age 13.
Not at all. I enjoy programming too much.

I'd rather be a technical co-founder working with a small team then via solo founder.
"That's a pretty good idea. Would you mind fixing it?"

I would suggest you to shift your focus to consumer software because it's really hard to get into SaaS industry although I see lots of SaaS companies getting millions of dollars of funding but without having a clue on how they are going to build recurring(steady) revenue.
In any sufficiently long discussion of PGP’s merits, it becomes obvious that those arguing for PGP are not motivated by a desire to keep communications confidential, but, rather, to justify use of PGP.

Also I would actually say that older folks that have been around for the more open systems when the web was flourishing have a bias for things to always be this way, even if it was transient. Younger people who experience more locked down things throughout their existence come to expect it. So not sure about the young vs old
You know what I miss from that era? The extension that would allow Oscar the Grouch to pop out of the trash can. What I mean is - Macintosh really had this different vibe back then. You could easily customize everything about your experience in a way that was very exploratory. How many hours of my youth were wasted screwing around in RezEdit or in making cool icons? Yes, it's super cool there are things like Swift Playground these days - I'm glad we live in an era where I don't have to pirate Symantec Pascal like I did when I was 13 and wanted to learn how to code. But, I wish the overall user experience were more the fun and creative feel we once had rather than a very slick but overly corporate one.

I read this extraordinary quote:

I clicked the link and could find no such language or even any suggestion that high achieving students don't exist, and it had a lot of verbiage discussing the need for "high achieving" students to be challenged more than others. How a student became "high achieving", like if they were somehow born that way or otherwise gained such skills in early development, was not discussed, nor does it make much difference.

The living room media/gaming machine at home is an 8 terabyte spinning rust. I didn't bother with a separate SSD boot partition.

It's currently been running for 23 days. Booting takes ~15 seconds even on spinning rust for a reasonable linux distro, so I'm not going to stress about those 15 seconds every couple of months.

5.1 gigabytes mostly just file cache. As a result, everything opens essentially instantly. For a bit better experience, I did a:

to forcibly cache that, but that was all I did.

Beyond a doubt, I think that's an enormous improvement. Imagine Trump trying to plan, coordinate, and execute this response across the federal government, NATO, the EU, and countries worldwide.

However, my (vague, inexpert) impression goes back long before Trump. Obama, etc. seemed always a day late and a dollar short. Remember Obama's response to Russian interference in our elections? Not the actions (which I doubt many remember), but the words? Neither do I.

I'm really not trying to be rude, but if you're a serious developer, 'security person' or otherwise, the cost of entry for apple is not a problem.

I know I'll get abused probably for saying it, but I mean come on. An apple device is what, one days worth of consultancy time? For a security researcher maybe an hour? It's the cost of business.

If you're priced out of getting into that particular game (I was too, once) then do something adjacent and switch once you're earning 10k a year and can afford an apple device, if you really want to work on apple devices..

It is not a bad idea footprint wise for coffins to be standing up. At first glance the screw-in capsule sounds like a revolutionary idea too, it could save some time and effort with digging as well as burial space. In practice it wouldn't work so well and a pre-hole would need to be done with some machinery. Second, the cost of the capsule, considering it would be made out steel would add up quickly too. Still, coffins standing up to save space would not be a bad idea though I would rather be cremated so as not to contribute to funerary industry.
I'm trying to picture the whole burial process with the capsule and find it somewhat comical. Would the family of the deceased have a ceremony before the capsule is screwed in, after, when it's half way in?

Look at a modern-day plant or animal field guide. A lot of the time you'll find drawings, not photos. Getting color "correct" in photos isn't that much easier (esp in the past, digital workflows help), and drawings are flexible in presenting the right amount of detail, optimal perspectives and perfectly "representative" specimens. Of course with plants you don't have the problem of them running away and not sitting still properly, so you can pose photos well, but drawings are still done a lot.
"And yes, all of this will only happen in large enough metros with enough children."

Yes. I should explain my perspective. I live in San Francisco, which has ~900k people, and maybe 80k school-age children.

So perhaps 180 (80000/13*0.03) kids per grade are gifted. Enough to fill 7 to 10 classrooms.

Even so, as far as I'm aware, San Francisco has no elementary schools focused on gifted kids. The nearest gifted-only elementary school is private, pricey, a 30+ min drive away, and has way more qualified applicants than places.

I agree that's a nice perk and I also regularly pay more to have my games in Steam rather than somewhere else, because it usually just works and keeps on working with Steam era games. My issues were mostly with pre-online era games where I still owned the actual CD.

It would've been nice if I could just play my old N64 games for free, but I also didn't feel cheated that I had to pay for the ported versions again.
Indeed. The talking points really stand out. Especially from the reactionary side, they often have no other basis than 'this is what is being repeated'.
