As a hobbyist I see this from a very different perspective. ARM documentation is overwhelming and ironically ARM is confusing as hell to read about due to its fragmentation into 32-bit and 64-bit ARM as well as Thumb1 and Thumb2. I don't have a great memory, and I really get lost when reading ARM tutorials and docs.

RISC-V for hobbyist like me is just WAY WAY easier to deal with. There is a great consistency between RISC-V 32-bit and 64-bit which ARM lacks. There is just one compressed ISA and it maps to the regular one in straight away manner. Register naming is more sensible and consistent.

ARM instructions with their complex addressing modes are not easy to read. ARM vector instructions makes your head explode trying to keep all the details in your head at the same time. RISC-V vector instructions are just way easier to grasp.

In many ways it reminds me of the documentation situation with Python vs Julia. Python has more documentation for sure, but a big problem with that is all the stuff that is outdated irrelevant, combined with the difference between Python 2.x and Python 3.x although that has gotten easier in recent years.

New technologies will always have less documentation but they often benefit from not having lots of legacy which complicates understanding.

At least ARM is easier than x86, but that is a pretty low bar.

Complete independence is almost unattainable in life, if at all. Between being co-dependent with others and becoming a lost child without your parents there’s a great gap.
There are probably hundreds of writeups on strategies to play Wordle. I play it for fun and I play it random. My first word is whatever comes to mind. I know I can increase my chances by selecting a word with more vowels in it but where is the fun in it. :-)

I once got it on second word - it was pure chance. I am now waiting for the day when I get it on the first attempt. :-)
Are you saying there’s a setting somewhere where I can choose between spying by China and spying by Big Tech?

Cool, please point me to it.

If not, your comment makes no sense.

BTW, if such a setting were available, I’d choose spying by Big Tech any day over spying by CCP/China.

Else, I want neither.
This is Hacker News, I think about workarounds and ways to hack "the system". The article talks about a pat on the shoulder to stealthily check for the Brahmin white thread. What's to prevent someone from wearing a thread under their clothes? If you have a religious problem with it, wear a color other than white, people aren't seeing it.
Ask HN: Some websites inaccessible from some ASNs today?
Have you noticed anything like this today? All throughout the day, I am getting my traffic blackholed into different ASNs. Same for my friend. We are both on different west coast cities.

> That we vote to pay for through our elected representatives; the same people who directly determine budgets, salaries and have political skin in the game to get re-elected at the time of contract negotiation and have firing power.

All of that applies to employing people just as much as to other ways of spending public money. (Yes it's hard to fire a public employee - but it's also hard to cancel a public works project).

> Public projects are not the same as public salaries. A highway is not drawing a salary from the treasury, but the people who work on it are.

Public money is spent, private individuals and/or businesses benefit. Whether it's structured as an employment contract or a public works project seems pretty irrelevant.

> People decide all the time whether unions are actually beneficial for them in the private sector and many times vote against it either by choosing non-union employers where both are an option or by voting for or against joining a union when a unionization vote occurs.

Which is their right (I think it's foolish except maybe for upper-class people in fields where individual performance is directly measurable, but it's their choice), but how is that any different for a public employer vs private employer?

> A Google employee working on a government project did not elect the Executives who approved the project and his salary, even if he may have elected the Senator that said it was a good idea for Google to handle it.

What difference does that make though? That executive is hardly going to turn down a profitable contract even if they think it's for something stupid, so you're not bringing in any more accountability on any aspect that's actually relevant. (And in practice a public employee is going to be in a very similar position: there will be several layers of unelected civil service administrators between the person they vote for and the decision about how much they get paid).

> Private advocacy groups have to compete with other moneyed interests. Public-sector unions do not.

There are plenty of moneyed interests opposing public-sector unions.

> There is no one else that is going to pay government salaries except the government, and they get their money by taking it from people who earned it.

Your bias is showing. Many government employees earn their money (including many teachers) and many taxpayers don't.

> Unionized employees of all stripes tend to vote as a bloc because taking collective action is their raison d’être.

Sure, but that's exactly the same for advocacy groups, neighbourhood associations and so on.

> The government is not approving contracts between private sector companies and private sector unions. They are approving contracts between themselves and public sector unions, and have hiring and firing power over the negotiators at the table representing the public’s interest.

Right, but they negotiate contracts or quasi-contracts with all sorts of collective organisations - businesses, business groups, professional associations, residents' associations, advocacy groups - all the time, under the same kind of conditions.
Yeah, as I say, it's easy to be derisive about string theory and string theorists. (Lubos makes it especially easy.) And, physics departments find string theorists to be the cheapest kind of hire, because they aren't always trying to get expensive equipment together for experiments.

But everybody who goes into string theory had to learn all of "real" physics first, and excel at it well enough to get into a PhD program. A lot of them must have a hankering to do real physics, like their heroes who inspired them into the field, and must be frustrated at not finding any way to do it from where they are.

Being clever people, if they can use the maths they have to suggest directions for things to try, they might make themselves useful. If the things they suggest turn out to guide reasoning toward something that will be tested, that is worth something even if the formalism the suggestions came from isn't correct in detail.

It seems like (hopefully) there's the golden period a time after grandma and grandpa die where mostly nobody dies. Your parents are OK, your siblings, any friends, co-workers. It's all good until late middle age then people in your life start to disappear.

My dad died last year after a long illness on my birthday of all days. More than anything I find it amazing that a person can disappear. After they die there's this mandatory by law rush to bury them literally and figuratively. Delete all traces of them even their clothes and shoes are thrown away. Bit by bit things they touched disappear.

I was sitting beside my Dad died as he was in a bed in a palliative care room. Rick Steve travel show on Rome was playing and it was 8:40pm when Dad stopped breathing. To me in my mind that's where Dad is. A grave has no meaning to me maybe it will someday.

We all have to go through it but I think we assume it can't happen to use it's other people. If you're in that golden time right now be mindful of the gift you have now. Oh and take lots of pictures in this age of cellphone pics and videos - use it! And make sure it's not just Christmas and cakes in front of them for all the picture.
High end today requires specialized chips. E.g. if you want massive parallel processing you would want small cores, because you can make more of those. RISC-V gives that kind of flexibility of designing minimalist cores which can then be repeated a thousand times on a silicon die. The same thing that are beneficial for cheap specialized hardware is also often beneficial for high-end stuff, where you really need parallelism to push performance.

Whether you are designing a server chip or machine learning powerhouse it is all about having lots of cores. To get more cores you need smaller cores and RISC-V has demonstrated they can make small cores of half the size of an ARM core with similar performance.

RISC-V simplicity really starts paying off once you go very small.
Could Einstein, being a patent clerk, have gotten his papers published these days? Is there room for non-professionals, or people outside the system to come in and disrupt it? It seems that there's a lot of disregard of wild alternative theories like quantum mechanics would have seemed in the early 20th century.
I haven’t played in a while but Clash of Clans is a pretty decent and fun game underneath all of its addictive patterns.

WoW still has some of the best raid encounter design out right now.

I’m not disagreeing about the effect of performance marketing/aggressive growth strategies on the industry but this idea that there are “true” games and then everything else is like playing mindless slot machines doesn’t really make sense to me
> "boring as hell"

Conference calls can be boring as hell too. I don't get why people stare directly into the camera, mug-shot style for the whole meeting. I place my camera on my second monitor off to the side, and glance over when I'm talking or need to make eye contact.

In normal office meetings, people sit around a table, you turn your head or glance around table to speak with people. But in a boring as hell Teams catch-up, everyone is mug-shot fronting each other. When the family cat wanders into the scene, everyone laughs and enjoys it because suddenly the monotone format gained some 3d life.

I'm not surprised virtual spaces are being explored. Hubs is at least browser based, and the scene editor too. Open source, self-hostable, easy to use. it ticks a lot of boxes. I was pleased it all worked well in slightly outdated Firefox 88 with adblocker and enhanced tracking on without issue.

Sharing images... well, perhaps an artist wants to share their intention for a real exhibition of photos. A virtual space allows the collection to be viewed in a similar manner to the intended real gallery space. Artists ideally like to exhibit bodies of work rather than drip-feeding single images spaced one click apart, each one covered in "share this" junk icons and prompts.
People keep coming back to shiny editors/systems because their employers demand it. Offices tend to like Word, as do book publishers. Yes, Pandoc, Scrivener, etc. will output your writing in Word format, but not all writers and office workers are tech people. They go with the simplest compatible/allowable option.

At my company, we create complex Word documents that are frequently edited. Using a different format (ie, a marked up text file run through Pandoc or LaTex) is far more trouble than its worth.

My personal stuff is in Markdown.
Yeah, I also observed it on Firefox. I was able to view emails by turning off only the "disable cosmetic filtering" filter.
I'd like to point out that there is a parallel to this, that if you post something online, it's likely someome will point out how to make it better.
Hmm. Isn't it something akin to the Fourier transform? As in: you could enjoy your square wave for its own beauty, but knowing that it can be decomposed into an infinite sum of sine waves is a pretty useful thing.

Have created products, going from nascent idea to completed web app and mobile app. I have managed small tech teams and larger non tech teams.

I love to dive into a problem and create a solution or more efficient process. I would create value in product mgt, project mgt, or operations role. Happy to have chat, see email in resume link.
Autopilot (name aside) does the same exact thing that most car manufacturers offer in luxury cars. So I'm not sure what part you think is a scam.
My use is still evolving, but mostly I use it for daily "TODO" lists for both work and personal. Secondary I use it for notes about the day. Both are basically disposable, and my "what I did" I type into a notes file on the computer for future reference and searching. The planner I find quite valuable to let me flip to a page in the future and write down a "todo" to do in a few days or weeks.

The TODO lists I mark with Done, Won't Do, or Rescheduled for the future. That process is valuable, if I push something off too many times, I evaluate if I really need to do it.

I started with the Panda Planner Pro, but I ended up finding the personal and reflective things more onerous than useful. So once I filled up the first one I moved to the Amazon Basics Daily Planner ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078GVYRZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... ), which I mostly like. I like having two days of todos at once, because I can just see more that way. I'd probably be just as happy to have 3-4 todo columns per 2 pages, 5 would be convenient but probably too small.

I'm considering the Clever Fox Pro for the next one, but it's $40 while it has a nice week view, it probably doesn't have enough todo entries, I really need a good 10-15 per day. Maybe I just need a week todo, with daily "priorities". That would probably be ideal.

I'd like to try the "timeslots" where I plan out my todo a bit more with times, but that may or may not work.
Another angle is that really nationalistic people don't tend to leave the country they love.

I was happy to move to the US in part because I was pretty tired if my home country.

Do you have any idea how contrary this is to the philosophy of the web? It's called the "internet" because everybody is interconnected on it. It's called the "World Wide Web" because when you post, it's available to the whole world.

And somehow I'm an idiot because I expect 99.99999% of websites, including my own, to be available anywhere in the world?

It's just unfortunate that the proprietary apps have IMHO much nicer UI/UX. Why can't we have both!

On Mac I use Ulysses. I get the benefits described here while still having a fast, native app with excellent UX.

I have Mac for work, and Linux for personal and an Android phone. That means Ulysses on Mac, ThiefMD on Linux, and Markor on Android, all synced with syncthings. Native apps on different OSes is the best solution I've been able to come across.

A single cross platform app would be preferable, but the last time I used Obsidian it was slow, heavy, bloated, with a pretty ugly UI, likely in part due to running on electron.
Living here in Bangalore (India’s so called Silicon Valley) you might miss the caste lines during your early years. It’s very easy to miss all that in the brouhaha of youth in a so called cosmopolitan city. But as you grow older you start seeing it everywhere, in everything.

I see people directly referring to a candidate who didn’t do well in an interview “must have gotten admission to IIT/NIT via reservation” (reservation is something of American affirmative action; but I’m not really sure). Passing remarks behind the back of other colleagues. And then saying things like, apparently being generous, “wow, doesn’t seem like you’re from that community!” (implying as if that community is inherently weak and dumb and the individual is an exception).

My name is as caste neutral as it gets. They still somehow figure it out - thousands of miles from my native place.

When you tell them you never used reservation even though you were eligible - you become kinda of like them, a little. But the moment you say you didn’t use it because you didn’t need it and you wanted to leave the college seat for someone more needy and that you support reservation system - you’re thrown back away from being somewhat like them.

Yes, the them and us are clear distinctions here.

It comes in many shapes and forms. Landlords asking “we’d prefer vegetarians” that’s asking “we’re Brahmins and prefer Brahmin or upper caste tenants”. My friend just lied as he really liked a flat overlooking a lake and trees next to the balcony in a quiet area, he said “well, even though I’m a Brahmin I eat meat once in a while” (he wasn’t a Brahmin) and the landlord was soon saying, “of course, of course, food is a personal choice”. He left soon as the landlord politely but slyly kept trying to glean the confirmation out of his visitors including me, also tried setting him up with his niece assuming his caste.

This will end up being a poorly written extremely long essay if I keep giving examples.

It was very early in my pre teens that I was made aware of my caste and place in the social hierarchy. I was fully aware that I sit somewhere in the middle of the caste hierarchy and there are people above me and also below me.

The power imbalance is so staggering and oppression is so deep rooted in such pervasive manner that all things might get consumed by the simmering anger and hatred one day. People who have lived mostly in cities easily fail to see this. They brush it aside saying we have jobs, we are moving on, we are getting educated.

This is so ignorant and blinding that they not only miss that a far greater number that lives in villages and towns and smaller cities are unseen by them, they are not seeing what’s right in front of them in the same larger cities as well. And yes, a lot of them deliberately do not acknowledge such divides and inequalities - some with a desire to fit in, others with vested interests of historical social power.

PS. Also, it’s so so different from the western notion of racism. So different.
Yes! Exactly this. My wife uses a Chrome book.
Very sad to see such a worthless analysis on an otherwise interesting dataset.

I think it would be worth investing on learning a bit of statistics or discussing with a data scientist before publishing that kind of article.

Honestly throwing averages after averages all day long brings 0 value and understanding on the dataset. Smells like a random software engineer or marketing eng with no consideration for basic data science was tasked to study this with excel.

Showcasing concentration metrics (means) all day long is useless, I want to understand at the very least how the distribution is shaped (is it normal?), what's the std, hell I'd like a PCA on all the fields (years of exp, sector of activity, number of employees, successful funding rounds,...).
Also (and I was fairly young at the time), didn't token ring have some uglier failure modes? E.g. if if the token were lost due to bad cabling / misfunctioning devices?

Whereas ethernet degraded more gracefully.
I know people do this sort of thing, but I still don't approve of it as a good way to live :-) Sounds too much like editing a document by manually styling every last element instead of creating a theme with a consistent set of styles.

It's the filter lists you are subscribed to.

Sometimes they get a bad rule in them and then they don't fix it for a day or two, or you have to purge the rule caches and reload from source.
So, you're not disagreeing with me.
