That number is an average number of bits per elementary particle. I presume that information can be found not only in particles, but also in how they're arranged.

On the other hand, information need not come in whole bits: there are three quark "colors." Storing the color of a quark takes, what, 1.5 bits on average?
I tend to ignore people who just say hello - unless it's someone I'm closely working with on a project. I intend to get back to them, but, because I don't know what they need I can't really prioritize it so I subconsciously prioritize last (I don't intentionally mean to) and since I have so much to do I usually never get back with them until: they provide context.

Much better is something like hello, don't mean to bother you but hey when you have the time can you <whatever>. That works so much better - many times I'll just take care of it immediately just to keep my backlog of work from growing. If it's something that's going to be more involved I'll let them know that and work out when they're needing it done by. Then I'll get it on my to-do list.

If it's urgent then say so - hello, sorry to bother you but this came up unexpectedly and you're the only one that can do <whatever>. Can you help us out? I may be annoyed, but I'm not going to shoot the messenger.

Just hello? No. It slips off my radar.
Which is silly because if you do that you're basically admitting that your SSO isn't fulfilling its promise of identifying the user. If you are having the thought, "what if the user I authed isn't the user anymore" then you should be reauthing them for any service at that point.

But that's not my point, 4chan has clear rules that are not about illegal content: https://4chan.org/rules. There are moderators/janitors enforcing thoses rules and a report system. The first rule is:

"1. You will not upload, post, discuss, request, or link to anything that violates local or United States law."

But that's only the first rule. There are 17 global rules, and each board has a few.

It'd be great if you could add benchmark numbers for this comparing CPU/GPU on inference / sec and inference / watt.
Thank you for digging in a little deeper. I still disagree with him pretty strongly, but you've demonstrated that his proposal is more reasonable than my first reading suggested.
Absolutely, the UX for compiler tools often leaves a lot to be desired. This is something we want to fix!
I wanted to add something about the xilinx dpu, and you brushed on the subject but I was quite unhappy with the softip thing. It embeds all instructions for all kinds of networks so, taking a lot of gates for unused features, it's not much customizable, and perf for anything else than vanilla conv2d stuff quickly gets down. Buying an Alveo board to get such low inference perf was a gutpunch.

FINN seems far better there. At least you get millions inference/sec on simple quantized CNN1Ds.

The xrt api is simple and relatively ok, too. Stream data, execute inference, fetch results, mostly sync, so you have to wrap a lot of threading there, but the basics are there.
A lot of HN dreams of getting to be the censor and given the makeup of the audience here, many will, if they aren't already. What I don't understand is the arrogance in believing the choices of what to censor will always be their choice or inline with what their ideology drives them to censor. Power has a way of shifting quickly and dramatically. Those helping to lace up the boots on someone else's neck often find that same boot on their neck not long after.
I can think of two times in my life where I even considered the possibility that one of my peers would do something malicious on their way out the door, but management worries about this all the time.

On the one hand, Precautionary Principle. The costs of being wrong - and having to explain it to the Board - are just unimaginable. So sure, if you want IT to have a way to push a button and block someone out of the entire network in the time between when their boss says, "Hey, can we talk" and the office door goes 'click', then centralized credentials at least can be somewhat atomic. Session caching, to make this arrangement perform, undermines that immediately of course.

On the other hand, when someone accuses you of something way, way out of character, we learn as we mature that it's fairly likely this person did some mental arithmetic that went, "What would I do in this situation?" and that popped out. The person who accuses you of stealing their mug at the drop of a hat may have a passing fancy with stealing mugs themselves.

So we learn that in perhaps 95% of cases, non-sequitur suspicions are either the product of the mind of a suspicious person, of someone who is jaded by bad experiences (steal someone's lunch enough times and they will start accusing random people), or of someone who deep down knows they kind of deserve whatever is about to happen.

So it troubles me a bit how quickly the C Suite prioritizes having a giant switch to lock people out.

I've developed a nervous habit of any time I hear someone getting 'talked to for a second' or suddenly a bunch of 1:1s show up, of cleaning up my computer a little bit, then my desk. Rarely do I have anything that is worthy of cleaning up, but it doesn't hurt and gives me somewhere to put some of that feeling of impending doom. If I had a bad experience of having to clean out a messy desk, I don't remember it very well, but I'm sure it's happened. I know the first time I quit I learned not to try to take everything home on the last day. Somehow my stuff always ends up being bulkier than I estimate.
That's central identity management -- related to, but fundamentally orthogonal to sign in once be signed in everywhere.

SSO without central identify management would be weird but also very possible.

So many users habitually delete tweets, or block people who quote-tweet them, or have mobs of fans that will harass people talking about them, that screenshot-tweeting has become a reasonable workaround to problems with quote-tweets.
On of the (self-admitted) flaws in Newton's conception of gravity is that it's in terms of forces (or potentials) that act across large distances; it's part of his "hypotheses non fingo".

One of the philosophically more pleasing things about GR is that it is local. But, of course, Newton's conception is a small-mass / low-velocity limit, so how can that be?

GR says that the effect of stress/energy at a place x changes the metric at that place. But the metric is something made of derivatives, so the space in some small neighborhood (this is the local part) nearby gets deformed. That deformation is itself a form of stress, and so places in the neighborhood of x effect places THEIR neighborhoods and so on.

So there's nothing built-in that's long-distance. Big long-distance effects are built up out of everybody talking to their immediate neighbors.
I reckon the population of hacker news has drifted tremendously over the last decade. More content about the general grind of corporate tech industry, less focus on entrepreneurship. Many people in the tech industry who read and comment on HN are focused on exploiting the status quo and enjoying salaries offered by roles in large corporations

Perhaps one consequence of this drift is that people with more radical activist leanings, who are more likely to actually do something, are going to be more likely to hang out and discuss somewhere else rather than here

(i am not pointing any fingers, i haven't engaged in any kind of activism for years and grind away at the IT day job in exchange for salary.)

edit: the above argument lazily conflates people interested in tech industry entrepreneurship with people interested in activism. that doesn't make much sense, both groups will have quite different goals and often be in conflict. but i think there is definitely a drift where much of the people following tech industry news here on HN will be increasingly mainstream & functionally conservative.
But they don’t explain why I was logged out. I did not log out myself. Or is this “logged out” in the sense that I did not have their app active at the time of the disruption?
The problem is that the deleted verb (offering) isn’t parallelly conjugated to “offer” so it seems awkward.

I tried to explain why I decided to call out the use of that phrase, however my words failed me. So I’m editing my original (and inadequate) explanation to just say that the “brown people” thing is, to me, indicative of a deeper societal issue with racism and otherizing people that exists on both sides of the political spectrum.
I recently noticed this while browsing their device store from Germany. I couldn't get to the US shop no matter what I tried changing. There's a language and locale query parameter in the URL, but it will forcibly redirect you back if you try to change it. I'm not sure what it's even there for.
Arguably, the best strategy for mitigating existential risk and responding to a NEO collision event is a diversity of populations, civilizations, economies, and governance on the planet, so that as a species we are more resilliant to such an event takes out one or some of us.

Proposals that end in creating a single planetary policy source, and single global coordination and governance scheme to "fight" it necessarily reduce to dumbness because they create an economics that optimizes for reinforcing it over the interests and aggregate desires of individual organisms. Removing the diversity of governance alternatives means you have to optimize for that single solution, which in any complex system is essentially risk convergence, collapse, and death.

We are much more likely to die off of a confluence of starvation, war, disease, and non-replacement birth rates wrought by the risk correlation of central policymaking before a meteor hits or some other global catastrophe is actually realized. It's so much easier to make humans fear the same thing than to get us to all believe in it, and once you get your hand on that lever, does it matter what the threat is? The lever is narrative. I'd be skeptical of people indexed on planetary defense, because it's just a proxy and pretext for another centralization agenda. Just like when everyone is responsible, nobody is - when a solution is for everyone, it's pretty much also guaranteed to be for almost nobody as well.
I am rather concerned about the recent willingness of some HN commenters to jettison basic practices of civilised discourse when it even remotely involves the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

If one has a convincing argument, one should just make it. There is nothing pedantic about that. Insinuating derangement and denying common sense should not be necessary. Those who feel they have to resort to such practices usually do so precisely because they are unable to make a convincing argument. Why else would one act like this?

SSO is the source of truth, and centralized identity is the system of record. They go hand in glove. It's not a non-sequitur so much as a tangent.

> I think it is not so much as Israel has discrimination

It's one of the most discriminatory non third world country, if not the most. You literally have citizen of the same country treated differently depending on their last name and/or their religion, and worst than that, they don't even have the same rights.

It's not some "soft" racism like in the US where, in theory, everyone is equal in term of rights and in front of the justice, in Israel you have laws that only applies to non jewish people, they're not even trying to pretend, it's institutionalized and a source of pride

Israel/Palestine is similar to what's going on in Ukraine right now in many aspects but everyone seems to ignore that. It's just further away, happening slower and is committed by an historic ally.

I understand. On the team I'm on right now, we're trying to make some large changes, and some of that has to do with challenging assumptions. I'm just primed to see things like "10 weeks is a reasonable amount of time for Y" as a check point to ask whether it's actually reasonable, or whether we've fallen into a pattern that we've stopped questioning.

Yeah, this is where I see it.

In the middle of it is the replacement pipe; this library would help here. Might use it in the rewrite.
Indeed... to me it seems clear that you have little experience escaping autocratic authoritarian governments, and that you don't know much about international finance either (or finance for that matter), yet you somehow feel qualified to talk about these topics and give foolish advice. Don't do that. You're not helping anyone, or any cause.

> For example in Carroll v. United States, the judicial branch surrendered its authority to authorize searches to the executive branch.

The judicial branch can choose not to enforce the Constitution, contrary to its duty and purpose, but what they can't do—what no branch of the government can do without amending the Constitution—is legally authorize any agent of the government to perform a search or seize property (i.e. issue a warrant—whether they use that term or not) without "probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." The text is perfectly clear and permits no exceptions or "carve outs". I doubt the intent was for the police to issue their own warrants, but even if the judiciary grants them that power they still have to fulfill the requirements.

Of course if you're just saying that what they can get away with in practice and what the Constitution actually allows are two different things, I agree. There are rights, constitutional and otherwise—and then there is power. Every time they do this, however, it undermines whatever legitimacy or respect they might have otherwise had. Any thug can steal your stuff or invade your privacy and have a chance at getting away with it. To the extent a government wants its actions to be seen as legitimate it can't afford to ignore that "piece of paper" it was founded on.

> The police, of course, determine if they have probable cause.

What counts as "probable cause" is indeed the weakest part of the 4th Amendment. At the very least, if a given "cause" does not lead to the target's conviction in a majority of cases, of a crime sufficient to justify the search, then you cannot reasonably consider it "probable". Unfortunately that can only be observed in retrospect. It would have been better to require full compensation to the victim for any search or seizure which does not lead to their conviction, ensuring that the incentives are properly aligned.
SSO sucks nothing in compare with TOTP-incompatible "please scan QR" mobile auth. With uniq app per service.
Definitely not. Tons of non-english languages say month first.
I think they're overloaded. I donated some books 18 months ago, and they still don't show up on Open Library. And many were popular books published in the last few decades, not obscure old books.
I would say that's not really a SSO issue so much as it's an obnoxious session duration policy.
Minority groups in Israel actually have less restrictions with regards to marriage than the majority. Minority groups have freedom of religion. I'm a jew by ethnicity but an atheist by religion.

And my spouse must be Jewish too.

> But my point is that "best toaster" doesn't mean anything per se;

When I type "best toaster" into a search engine it does have a specific contextual meaning.
It means "please help me educate myself on what makes a toaster 'best' so I can make an informed purchase".
Cross-platform deployment is why I switched from script plus utilities to a go binary.

I did manage to make a Windows batch file that replicated the functionality of a linux/mac bash script, but configuring it was no fun for customers on any platform, and then there were the utilities themselves to deploy.

The replacement binary has a very small platform-dependent aspect, and I am not held back by the limits of batch files when trying to achieve feature parity.

It might be doable to deploy a powershell script, but then there's installation work to do on the unix side instead.
