What the hell is with the editing in so many high-profile news publications today? Did all the competent editors quit or something? Did they get replaced by an "AI" with poorly written regex?
I disagree, mathematics is 100% discovered. It's not like we humans are inventing it ourselves.
"think of it as a new challenge for mankind to tackle."

The mankind is the challenge.

I fear the solution will be similarly painful as previois great challenges - violence.

We limited bank account withdrawals here in Argentina in 02001; it was called the corralito and affected withdrawals in domestic currency too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corralito

At the time Argentina's peso was pegged to the US dollar: 1 peso was 1 dollar, but the central bank was bleeding its reserves dry to support that peg, a peg which had destroyed much of Argentina's domestic productive economy over the previous decade but halted hyperinflation.

After a couple of months the government dropped the peg and confiscated the dollar holdings of every bank account, replacing them with pesos at almost the old 1:1 official rate (1.4:1). Overnight the peso fell to just over a quarter dollar, so everybody lost three quarters of their dollar-denominated deposits. But the central bank suddenly had a lot of dollar reserves!

It probably won't work out in exactly the same way in Russia. But some similar things may happen.

If I were in Russia right now I'd want to make sure a substantial percentage of my savings were in Bitcoin or gold.
> 70% of females procreate, but only 30% of males.

I didn't know that, interesting. That is a real difference between men and women. Since I assume that is caused by biology, I think it means that procreation is more important for women, and therefore their criteria for a great mate differs from the the criteria men have.
Because most people don't (and probably can't) do this. The best option for most people is to simply have more local storage so that they never run out.

Must every article on HN about some positive discovery around noise, hearing, and tinnitus always be followed with a top comment about how everything we think about these things is wrong, and everything we’re doing is damaging our hearing and/or making our tinnitus worse?

I’ve been sleeping with Marpac sound machines for years, partly due to tinnitus but also partly just to help with sleep, only to find out it’s probably damaging my hearing and/or making my tinnitus worse.

Can someone please post some positive news about hearing/tinnitus?

This is seriously the second link in like 3 days.

Maybe I should just never click any HN article hearing related.
1 year? Can you pay more than 16USD to get an OEM quality battery?
Yes, why kick at companies when they are trying to do the right thing.

But then again, maybe US is the most "moral" country in the world, since nobody ever pulls out of the US for US foreign policy/military aggression. /s
I still use a 6S and was wanting to get an SE, but was worried about the 5G thing. This is such welcome news. My mom has an SE (not sure what year) and it is really nice.

My 6S has held up really well. My boyfriend and I lived at campgrounds for the spring/summer of 2021 and during all this, I would use my phone's hotspot as a mobile router for my laptop/ps4, and had it plugged into a portable power bank all day, and that really killed my battery. Not a good idea. A bit of a non-standard use. While my battery life is quite terrible, it never ceases to amaze me that it is still so usable, that it still gets updates, and it's not terribly laggy (it is better compared to my boyfriend's LG Stylo 4 which he got in 2020 and is kind of a mess despite being a beast; tbf he's lost that thing 3x and it's survived things no phone should). I carry a small battery bank with me if I will be out for more than a couple hours so I am not without a phone, but I know it is a bit silly. I've considered switching to android because of cheaper options, but the longevity thing really has me thinking I want to stay with apple. I will miss the headphone jack, though.
>one thing I worry about is that the existence of mediocre fakes makes people more confident in their ability to spot fakes when in reality they might just not be catching the ones that are well-done.

Yeah, most of the "fake" audio clips were blatantly obvious to literally everyone with a functioning brain (and hearing ability I guess) and if you thought that represented anywhere near the state of the art in faking voices you'd be far more confident than you deserve to be.

If I hadn't already heard very good audio deepfakes I would have left the survey with far less concern than I presently have around the issue. I came in expecting that the quality of the fakes would get far more convincing over time and it really didn't, but the capability definitely exists (especially around public figures with much audio available for training)
Pixel 5 is "small" in android parlance, but still bigger than the Pixel 4a for instance, which is already slightly bigger than the SE.

I think parent could have been fine with a Pixel 4a if it wasn't for it starting to age (using the lastest OS on it, feels definitely slower at times , especially when starting the camera which is a bummer)
I was about to say, "How is this not international news on every channel??"

anyways, AFP is the wire service -- internet says it is third biggest after AP and Reuters.

his comments def step down from his Nato demand, if it ever was an actual demand, and still leaves plenty of wiggle room for him to promise Russia whatever and then go back on his word -- maybe become a defacto member of Nato without actually making it official?

US/Nato could continue to pump all manner of weapons systems into what's left of Ukraine, then try to take back over the west at the right moment.

the US goal is to just make sure we don't have any constraints put on us, which will have been accomplished, assuming the world still exists when this is all done.

if he was so ready to fold, why did he feel the need to torture and kill and make suffer so many people -- Ukrainian, Russian, and others?

was that the deal he had with the US? now the US is allowing him to half-renounce his Nato intention just to help keep him in power? because finding a new servant would be tough?
In my view the problem with interpreting physics theory precedes the quantum era. Nobody really knew what classical gravity or magnetism consisted of. The idea of the planets acting on one another instantaneously without contact in a vacuum was absurd on the face of it. Einstein was disturbed by this.

The history of QM that I learned in school a long time ago, is that a few physicists endorsed adopting a purely mathematical formalism with no preferred interpretation in order to be free of preconceptions that might prevent them from making progress. They were still free to debate interpretation, but considered it to be separate from the problem of forming an experimentally testable theory.

But in terms of finding a philosophically satisfactory interpretation, we don't know what to look for. No science has ever attempted to dig deeper than the level of analogies that are easy to grasp. And it seems reasonable that the interpretation should depend on the science. Otherwise we risk embracing an interpretation that becomes a barrier to progress, or that is overturned by new experimental evidence.

I think the biggest problem with fundamental physics today, is that it's hard. As in, hard enough that it's not yielding answers at the rate that it was 100 years ago, and we don't know when it will: 10 years, 100, 1000? The big problem -- reconciling quantum mechanics and gravity -- won't be solved until we solve it. A theory that solves this problem will require one of those two things to be "wrong" in some sense, in which case its interpretation will have to be revised.
Columbia should not be ranked 2nd in US news college rankings
The question isn't choosing between fruit juice or soda, it is rather whether parents might be more likely to give their kids fruit juice to placate them, or because they mistakenly think "fruit = healthy".

Cursory research shows that might be the case(regarding lower income consuming more fruit juice):

> By contrast, the highest 100% juice consumption was found among children, racial/ethnic minorities and lower-income groups.

Except if they are framed as authoritative statement, rather than a genuine question or even wild conjecture. Then if a non expert reads it, believes it comes from someone expert, they can then take away something completely incorrect. Yes ask questions, but be honest.
For what its worth, they were comparing the M1 max to nvidia's mobile 3070, which is a completely different card than the desktop 3070.

My understanding was that it was a reasonable comparison in some benchmarks, though when plugged in to power the mobile 3070 still had more headroom.
So? What’s the point. How is google trends relevant to anything?

I can show you the same graph for C, it’s not like people stopped running Linux cuz it’s still written in C.
> That's just flat wrong. A global solution can solve global concerns and also allow for local conditions.

In theory, yes. But in practice, no (and this is the author's point, I think). In theory, the more "local conditions" you have to account for, the more exponentially complex your "global solution" becomes. (This is the "state" metaphor.) In practice, you can't build that impossibly complex system (and it might not be desirable, anyways!) - so you're likely to try to change local practices in service of a more streamlined global solution. The more you do that, the farther away you move from respecting local conditions.
By comparison, the fastest supercomputer in the year 2000 was ASCI White, which did 4.9 TFLOP/s. It cost $168M in 2020 dollars, took up 12,000 sqft, weighed 106 tons, and used 3 megawatts (+ another 3MW for cooling... = 6,000,000 watts). Granted, it had 6TB of memory and 160TB storage...but with 7,000 disk drives. (https://www.top500.org/resources/top-systems/asci-white-lawr...)

The M1 Max itself is a the size of a postage stamp, 10 TFLOP/s, costs ~$200 to make, and uses ~100 watts (= a single incandescent lightbulb).

Completely bananas.
This was a surprisingly straightforward piece. To the extend that I noticed…
Probably Google Cloud mostly pays for the enterprise customers as the customers seems to be the main issue for the GCP, not the technical aspects of security. And for the going price per head in the tech - Showflake recently bought "PHP, only in Python" company for ~12M/head.
That doesn’t explain it though because lead paint covered by regular paint is quite safe unless your children eat chunks of the wall (quite possible).
I'd love if decoherence was now the dominant perspective, and I at least am largely convinced barring some huge revolution, but it would surprise me very much. In terms of my acquaintances (largely the department of my university) team "I don't care, does it matter?" takes top spot followed by equal parts collapse and decoherence. Oh, and some Bohmian people but I don't know them as well, as interesting as it would be if they were right.

It doesn’t constitute noise if you control for males under 40, especially Moderna. Early on this would have potentially just been data mining, but it’s been replicated and has also led to pulling Moderna for those age groups in some countries. 1 in 10k isn’t a massive risk, but when taken in conjunction with the mandates making the population this is administered in to be “all living humans” then the absolute numbers get very concerning imo, esp if you think there may be more subclinical cases than we think.

This is actually an excellent explanation that I’d never thought through before. Totally makes sense. Rarely would you see “the whole” of your whole Dunbar group + a few hundred more — so makes sense why it could turn into such a cesspool. Really interesting idea.
It's not just the buildings. It's the soil, and the air. Test the soil next to any major roadway and you'll get highly toxic lead levels. Children like to get into dirt. Construction kicks the dirt back into the air.
M1 Series One
Is that the same UK that said it would back Poland in 1939?

We'll probably have the same outcome in 2022.
It depends a bit depending on how you account for other machines and peripherals (given that you can reuse/replace parts when doing it yourself), but the general price off the top of my head was:

- CPU $1100 AUD

- GPU $3000 AUD

- RAM $1000 AUD

- Motherboard $279 AUD

- NVMe Drive $300 AUD

- SSDs $150 - 300 each AUD

- SATA drives $100 - 300 each AUD

- Powersupply $240 AUD

- Case $250 AUD

- CPU cooler $170 AUD

That prices the full thing as new at about $6000 to $7000 AUD, which is vaguely in line with about what I recall my budget being, though I've had it for a year or so now.

That would put it at roughly 4k - 5k USD by my napkin math, but as a general rule US consumer tech prices recieve a bit of a discount compared to us over here, so you could probably come in on the lower end if you could physically get everything (i don't know what part supplies are like at the moment in the US).

Taking the AU Apple store price, accepting that their CPU probably outperforms mine in some multithreaded performance, and going for the top GPU option, I'd price the Apple M1 Ultra rough equivalent between $7000 to $10,000 AUD depending on where you want to cut it.

So like for like i'd say 4k-5k USD for mine vs 5k - 7k USD for the M1 in my locality.

I think you misread. It says "ever use," not "never use." So 70% do use social media.
It's possibly related to the size of the JavaScript bundle being used. In my case it was 4Mb of minified JavaScript being evaluated (React Native with a bunch of dependencies).
This is 100% true. Even in high regulation states like Massachusetts nobody is required to remove all lead paint, just lead paint that’s at risk of flaking or being ingested, like a door jamb or a window sill, or a non-intact wall.

To put it another way: a child won’t break through your living room wall and ingest that paint. They might scrape flakes off the already flaking window sill, though.
There is something very deep about that
Given that the last time I put together a PC computer was 2006, it'd probably take me DAYS to spec out a machine because of all the rabbit holes I'd be exploring, esp with all the advances in computer tech.
Not exactly. All individuals are always entitled to personal opinions, even when those opinions are dumb and held for dumb reasons. And unlike the governments of the world that lockup people for "wrong" opinions or the social media firms that employ "fact checkers" to justify whatever censorship they want or the children on Twitter that try to bully or silence people into submission, I advocate absolutely no censorship of any kind.

I'm simply an individual trying to learn and reason through some of these issues because I think it's very important both to me and the world.

1) Given the existence of cancel culture, as somebody who holds unorthodox views, I think others' bad ideas represent a large threat to my well-being so it's reasonable for me to care deeply about how people arrive at their conclusions based on what information they take in and process.

2) There are indeed serious and important issues in the world: and solving one of them the wrong way would lead to really bad outcomes. The situation we have right now where one of least self-aware groups of people on the planet (journalists) are able to use emotional manipulation to influence the world into taking the complicated risk-management decision that they feel is best is very concerning to me.
I was surprised by the number. Streamlit is good, but that amount of money is quite absurd, even in equity.

How well does it understand voice, compared to Google or Siri?
It’s the same chassis design as the previous SE, which was the same as the 8. They are probably not using older inventory but likely using existing tooling and processes, which likely saves a significant amount of money. If Foxconn/Pegatron/Wistron doesn’t have to retrain people and/or build new tools, they can do the work for cheaper.
I agree. EPR states and Quantum teleportation gave us a reality check during our QC course. The university I come from did however teach linear algebra, ODEs and PDEs, etc as mandatory courses.
I share a similar definition of efficiency with you. As my default sense of the word: minimal energy expenditure for maximal work.

Seems like people are mixing up utilization and efficiency.

High utilization can definitely lead to reduced efficiency.
He got a new fan then, I will consider myself lucky if i can reach just 1% compared to him
Not really. Exact power consumption will vary wildly based on cache state, the instructions executed, the state of the branch predictor, state of the pipeline, and so forth.

The best you could do is track power during the time an application is scheduled to run on the processor but even that is an approximation because the power consumption of a single core depends on the state of other cores as well. Then you get into arbitrary territory (do you count the CPU time spent inside the filesystem driver or network minifilter as application time? is all called kernel code, which may execute on another core, taken into account? what about data transfers between the CPU and GPU? what about the power spent on cooling the CPU while the code runs?) and you end up with a very arbitrary and difficult approximation.

I think simpler approximations are more than enough, but it's near impossible to track power usage for a single application. Windows has such an approximation based on various factors, not just the CPU, and that's not much more than a "low-medium-high" scale.
iPhone SE series is exceptional. It's always flagship SoC performance for mid price.
I guess any stubs the compiler adds will also have to be reproducible, big whoop.
Eh. In the case of OnlyKey, they can ship a version without all the encryption to get past customs or whatever in places that ban it, and you easily flash your own over it. If the firmware is immutable you can't do this--or fix bugs, or add new features--which could turn them into e-waste sooner.
Not a chance. Google is trying to match search intent and so are ads. If the ads are relevant to what's being searched, then it receives a low quality score and isn't shown often, if at all depending on how irrelevant it is. If I am a lawn mowing company, I can't just show my ads whenever someone tries to lookup apple because they're a popular company.
Think of algorithmic theorem provers. They search the space of possible logical conclusions and in that manner find proofs. Thus they discover proofs, they discover mathematics.

But really I don't know what the difference between discovering and inventing is? You discover that something works, call it an invention. What else is invention than discovery?
Blocking the source (not those retweeting) does work, it simply takes quite awhile to see results.

Ultimately most of the outrage/cancel culture/ and other political tribalism tweets originate from a relatively small fraction of users. I’ve blocked thousands of users over the last few years and it’s working out great. It almost feels like the old days of using Twitter. :)
Most realtors in Boston don’t bring up lead. There’s a big culture of don’t ask don’t tell.
The Case Against Public Intellectuals
My concern is cooling. Any reason to believe that this new chip will run cool and not be drowned in thermal paste when installed? My Intel i7 Macbook Pro loves to idle at 65 C, and some light browsing will kick that up to 80 C, which worries me.
Could be worth tracking what you did and make a new set of instructions, and trying to reproduce with a fresh install.

> now I see it's rust: how parallel is your build, really?

Not the OP but I install a lot of Rust projects with Cargo and recently did some benchmarking on DigitalOcean's compute-optimized VMs. Going from 8 cores to 32 cores was a little disappointing:

Bat (~40 crates): 68s -> 61s

Nushell (486 crates): 157s -> 106s

Compilation starts out highly parallel and then quickly drops down to a small number of cores.

If that was -more- likely to occur under Trump than Biden, why did it not? Based on actual historical evidence, Putin is more likely to invade Ukraine when Biden is in office (both as VP and POTUS) than when Trump was, regardless of whatever nonsense Trump was tweeting.
I think it's easy to underestimate the extent to which the greatest minds have also turned to every weird permutation you could think of. Personally I figure we'll probably find some deeper theory just since the Standard Model still has its issues and gravity isn't rolled in yet, but there's every reason to think that this problem is hard, not just untried. Much of the most interesting work in the last century has been ruling things out.

There are lots of nifty ideas that are explored until insurmountable holes are found in them. The two main nonstandard lines of thought that have had any real progress are decoherence, which I'd call a success, and string theory, which I'll avoid rating because I have string-theorist friends but am not a liar. There are plenty of others, and maybe one will bear fruit, but honestly when the next big break comes it'll probably be really obvious.
