Ah, right, the proxy spoils of colonialism... I presume these nations' scientific, industrial and engineering prowess - of which none was built with slavery - had no bearing on anything. I don't understand how you can attribute so much guilt to not just the conquerors themselves but also to their neighbours, while at the same time discounting the creations and driving force of the great European minds of the past. It's a tiresome dichotomy and a sad, narrow perspective to view the world as nothing but oppressors and victims, and to always insist that the rich are rich only because they stole from the poor, and that all poor nations had been rich "if only history had been a tiny bit different".
I've been around awhile so take this with a grain of salt:

- web1: Anyone can publish and connect to like minded people. Everyone will want a server

- web2: dynamic web pages like GMail are amazing. Smart phones and native apps will be incredibly popular

- web3: Some smart people describe edge cases where it could be useful, but there doesn't seem to be a compelling case to drive adoption like web1 and 2

If so, he is not saying that he is costing Vimeo $2500/year, he is saying what amount of bandwidth he has "consumed"/"produced" from Vimeo, which for sure doesn't cost Vimeo $2500/year, as otherwise they would be bankrupt by now. They pay static sums for the internet connection, no TB/$ crap that people using cloud are used to.
"Dehumanizing" is the right word. And your spiel works with a word like "holocaust", but not this.
I mean, food literally grows on trees. The comic is obviously set in prehistory when we didn't cultivate our food.

First you couched your position as being about the children and harm to children; now you're talking about - as best I can tell - psychological harm to society writ large which you're asserting would occur based on your own experience. The part about CSAM being tolerated in order to keep pedos satiated seems like a non sequitur but honestly I don't really understand what you're trying to say, so... it doesn't sound like a very good faith discussion to me.

I do hope you get whatever support you need for something that's apparently affected you. Take care.
Really great stuff, just watched and loved both... have any other other recommendations?

Someone once said that dog's noses are the closest thing we have to Star Trek tricorders. In Star Trek a tricorder is a handheld sensor that can seemingly detect anything in any situation, and as a Star Trek fan this description has always stuck with me.

Perhaps one day we'll master electronic noses, but until then, dogs seem under utilized. If anyone's looking for a high difficulty, high impact way of changing the world, look at electronic noses.

Human smell is also under utilized. I had a friend with a severe peanut allergy who could enter a house and immediately tell if there were peanuts in the house. Presumably most people possess such senses, but have no reason to use them.
Why not indeed
in general the lower yield ones ended up being the lesser model such as M1 Pro using the same die

No, and when I read “Now I'm hearing more and more about Web3 and decentralized apps” my instinct is to suggest that whatever channels you are hearing this through could use a good spring clean, to clear out all this obvious hype/influencing/advertizing. You don’t need to subject yourself to this nonsense. Here’s a nickel, kid - get yourself a better network.

Web3 is just cash circling the blockdrain.
In reply of a now flagged/dead comment:

> jitl: I wonder how many fewer shitty HN comments the author would get with a website named kevinbythebay.com

Gender/identity really plays very little into how I've perceived the content over the years. It's mostly interesting snippets with just about the right amount of story telling. I would go as far as to say it would annoy the hell out of me if the content was about only about identity.

That said, some of the "shitty HN comments" are just valid criticisms or observations. Part of putting this material out into the world is to invite the reply of others, either in a comments section, verbally or just within their own minds. Sometimes your readers will engage negatively with your content, but the engagement with Rachel's content is overwhelmingly positive (it almost always gets to the front page here).
A long time ago I tried streaming video using PHP because we need to track users progress on the video, it was very hard on the hardware.
This example seem like a lesson for bob on how to not get screwed by Alice’s seemingly higher leverage by focusing on what is actually at stake to negotiate, the 6 extra slices. And also recognize Alice does not actually have more leverage just because the fallback is to her advantage, she would still have lost out up to 6 slices, making any type of deal would be better for her.
Why can't they just scan iCloud uploads on-server then? Why does anything need to be done on-device?
So in reply to your parent, the answer is yes. It sends a low resolution copy of the image to Apple with extra steps.
I understand the sentiment and even share it to some extent, but we should really be arguing against the strongest possible version of claim, which is as follows: signal-detection theory tells us that there is a direct relationship between the number of correct-detections and false-alarms, and the only way to achieve 0 false-alarms is not to label anything a hit. In the present case, this means not prosecuting anyone, ever. That's probably not a solution you're happy with.

Therefore, the argument is one of degree. I agree with you that Apple's CSAM-detection is going too far, and this is what we should be articulating. Chanting "not even one" is not particularly convincing, nor sensible.

who's going to lend you money "for the future" if you've just shown that you will arbitrarily "cancel debts of the past"?

Source for Friedman's suggestions to "torture, kill, and disappear thousands"?
No, as noted and cited, the absolute numbers for diesel are worse than those for lead. That’s not perception, it’s fact. And we’ve absolutely not eliminated the other two because they still exist in the environment and everyone ever poisoned by them who is currently still alive is yet to appear in the death statistics, hence the lag.
> reduces debt burdens

Not really, because inflation causes interest rates to go up correspondingly.

An M.2 2230 slot should be able to take Wi-Fi or NVMe since they're both PCIe devices. In practice there aren't many 2230 SSDs.
The encoding space is not the number of bits used to encode an instruction,
the encoding space is the ratio of values that encode a valid instructions over the total number of instructions that could be encoded.

As an example, in an ISA with 8-bits fixed instruction length and 8 registers (reg index encoded on 3 bit):

If the last 2 bits are the opcode and we define 2 instructions (eg. AND, XOR) that manipulate 2 registers (3 bits + 3 bits), then instruction word values 0b00_000_000 to 0b01_111_111 might encode these two instructions (ignore "_" they are separators).

Therefore, instruction word values from 0b10_000_000 to 0b11_111_111 remain free, which represents half of the encoding space.
So half of the encoding space remains free.

This means we still have room to put new instructions.

Similarly, RISC-V valid instructions use almost all the available bits, but there is still room in the encoding space because some opcodes remain free.
>Also, even though farming requires labour today, why should the person who "owns" the land be the one who gets to keep all the value?

That's what https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism is supposed to fix
Salary is often the single largest expense on the income statement, and especially so for service based companies. This expense will frequently massively outstrip the profit line item. So no employees are not getting 0.000001% of these companies, they are in fact getting the majority of the money flowing through these companies.

You are noting that the employee line item is split up amongst 50,000 employees and the smaller profit number is behind split up among 50 owners. So an individual owner makes massively more money than an individual employee but missing that employees as a class are still getting more of the money than the owners.
maybe a little off topic, but....
https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2021/10/14/yales-endowment-re...

I am thinking maybe t yale could spend a little time on finding a fairer way of slicing up that pie? It seems like they could easily educate a lot more people who cannot afford their tuition. And I am not just picking on Yale, Harvard and a lot of others could add to a fund, what if all those schools with multi-billions dollar endowments could give half of it to fund the education of anyone who wants it?

This is not a meant to be a rant just a humble suggestion that occurred to me when they were talking about giving away half a pizza.
> But should it be her job as a content producer to understand Vimeo's costs and margins

Not exactly. They should inform her of those through the price signals they send. Which appears to be exactly what she is complaining about.
You’re generally correct although it’s slightly more nuanced. There are places in the world where peering isn’t free (eg Australia) and even mandated by law not to be (Eg SK).
Cost increases super-linearly with size. One reason for this is defects: if a single defect ruins a whole chip, then for a constant number of defects per square inch, you'll get more usable square inches of silicon when you have small chips than big ones. Of course you can build chips that can tolerate a few defects, but the principle holds.

This is also why high quality TVs are harder to manufacture than high quality phone displays. You have a lot more waste when you need to throw out/recycle a TV screen compared to a phone screen. And both are considered bad when they have just one bad pixel.
A 5950X is 285mm² in total (and made with TSMC 7nm). An RTX3080 is 682mm² (and made with Samsung 8nm). A 16GB DDR5 die seems to be about 75mm².

RAM aside which is Apple's actual performance differentiator, all of these eat the M1 Ultra alive in their respective categories.
I’ve implemented literally all of those things besides >100gbps which is a totally different discussion. I also had the additional constraint of realtime GPU encoding and low latency live streaming. Without that, the 1 year project would have been a weekend project.

And yeah a single server with 1G transit can easily solve the problem that this thread is about.
IMHO, the problem with spying on citizens is that it's a double edged sword. We'd be nuts not to gather useful info on serious violations of law to improve national security (FBI) or local safety (local police). But abuse of such inherently secret info is difficult to oversee and harder still to effectively regulate.

On one hand, oversight of spying programs always reveals some details about what nfo was gathered, either as dutiful proof of its proper use to the public, or in court cases as part of the chain of evidence. But doing this inevitably reveals something about what info was gathered and how, thereby weakening the future value of that source as people (or perps) learn to mistrust it and take greater pains to protect their sensitive info.

On the other hand, NOT revealing data that was gathered invites its abuse, especially by orgs with minimal oversight (and scruples). Too often, law enforcement sees oversight of their practices as being equally as inimical as the perpetrators they pursue.

I suspect the only way to sustainably manage this dance of mistrust is to change the role of police so that oversight is built into their culture, where they know someone is always watching their back — both in offering support to help them do a sometimes impossible job, as well as in demanding that they not abuse the special authority their job demands. In terms of their access to sensitive info, this must include enforcable strictures on their special access to info that should NOT be shared with others, like the client-servant privacy privileges demanded of lawyers or doctors.

Ask HN: Are you using actors in production? Why/Why not?
In the realm of distributed computing, it seems like there are folks that believe very strongly in the actor pattern. However, they generally seem to be pretty niche? That said, this perspective could be entirely due to my bubble, and so I was curious to hear from folks that are using them in production, and how well they’ve worked out in practice.

Or, if you’ve evaluated using them in production, but decided against it, I’d love to hear about that as well!
They are lying. I have recently verified my age on YouTube with a credit card, and they've created a payments profile without my consent. I have discovered what happened a couple of weeks later when I've signed up for Google Cloud and my payment data was already listed in the form of a payments profile that could be selected.
Something that would be cool to do, though I'm not familiar enough with build systems and profilers to do it myself would be mark which portions of the generated binary comes from Rust/C++/C and then instrumenting the executable to measure how much time is spent in each of those areas for a typical use of the browser

As the article says, there's little to discuss:

> First, details about the programs exposed recently are scarce. ... Snowden's disclosures, in contrast, included weeks of reporting on specific programs backed by leaked documents, making it easier for media and the public to latch onto the story.
The fed is effectively doing this right now with low interest rates. Diluting old debts (pay off early 2000s mortgage with modern wages) and cheapening the cost of new ones, (borrow at 4% when inflation is running around 5%). We all buy into it for one reason or another but the ultimate thing underpinning this dynamic is that capital trusts the US the most amongst all other debtors.
Dictatorship and suppression of democracy, and Friedman's free market economic policies, are inextricably linked. Pinochet could not have implemented his free market ideas without oppression, because there will always be more poor people than rich, and poor people will always vote for worker protections, price controls, stable jobs and housing. This is openly part of Friedman's plan: His policies are best implemented when a country is in a time of crisis, when the population is worn down and can't resist. The increase in poverty, slums, and the country's stadium turned into a torture center, don't feel like improved living conditions to me, nor worth the price of stopping inflation (which Pinochet did).
The article mentioned flying under Russia would be a longer distance but could be faster with favorable wind conditions. I’m guessing they are leaning toward more predictable conditions with their chosen route.

Former California governor Pete Wilson practically refused to say, "uh." So much so that I used to listen to him just to see if I could catch him at it. My successes were few. He would simply pause, mid-sentence if necessary, to phrase his thoughts precisely. He was governor from 1991 to 1999 and his precise manner of speaking was noticeable even in his era.

I'm inclined to use the word "terrifying." Some people I know call me "crazy" every time I take a position which contradicts MSM. They fully believe that the T.V. is giving them the unadulterated truth of all matters that should concern them.
I think you are really missing the point here. Of course RISC-V has negatives but most of those negatives exist for good reasons. It is a question of tradeoffs.

One of the most important goals of RISC-V is to make an architecture which can stand the test of time. In this space adding the wrong kind of instructions is a bigger problem than not adding particular instructions.

Whether you look at x86, HTML or just about anything the problem is nearly always about having to support old junk which no longer makes sense to support, or lacking the ability to grow. Remember 640K is enough for everyone? RISC-V has a lot of room to grow.

If you want an architecture for the future you would want a minimalist one with room to grow a lot. By keeping the instruction count very low and building in a system for extensions they have made a future proof ISA. Okay we cannot know the future, but it is more likely to survive for decades than something like x86 or maybe even ARM.
Even in prehistory, feeding people required a lot of work, that work just took the form of hunting, gathering, and migration, and later cooking and making tools to make hunting and gathering easier.

> why should the person who "owns" the land be the one who gets to keep all the value?

They aren't? Many people divide the value in the final product.

The person who owns the land pays other people for farm equipment, fertilizer, weed killers, pest control, harvesting, etc, then they sell the product to other people who add value in various ways and each sells for a higher price.
That depends on the airline of course

The central checker knows you've proven your age, but not where you've proven it.

As someone else points out, you send a message to your ID provider 17 requesting the minimum required fields and an anonymous token provided by HN, the ID Provider returns that (over18=yes, token=1234567....) which is signed, you then send the returned payload to the server you're asking, saying "I used Identity provider", and HN (assuming it trusts your ID provider) can confirm that.

HN knows the IP you're connecting from and the identify provider (say the Austrailian government)

The Austrailian government doesn't know where you're connecting to, just that you are trying to prove you are over 18. The unique random number HN provides confirms it's not someone else's token, but it doesn't link to HN

I assume there's a proper standard which does this

GPUs and CPUs are not simply "pump more power in it to go faster hurr hurr". It is extremely likely that the M1's maximum performance is attained already. Otherwise, the M1 ultra would have pumped a little bit more wattage and gotten better single core perfs, but guess what, it doesn't.

I usually shear just before lambing, which is right now for us. Whether or not you need to shear will depend on the breed of sheep - some can lose their coats on their own, some will not.

For us it's necessary as our sheep get a 2"+ thick coat, which during our summers (last summer we hit 42C/108F, normally we peak at around 35C/95F), and having a thick coat can be deadly.

I put the fleece in the burn pile. I don't have the time nor inclination to clean and card the wool to prep it for sale. I imagine some people would take it to do it themselves, but at this point, I need one less thing to do, not one more. :)

> So in addition to the above problems with decision-making, each team had no idea what the other team was actually doing until it had been done for weeks.

The Open Source development model addresses this. By removing meetings and forcing all work to be done "in the open", it is impossible not to know what is going on, because you can always just go look at what's going on. Subscribe to the mailing list and you will always know what is going on. Or don't and read the mailing list archives. Look at the patches, read the documentation, understand the context from discussions. There is no waiting for a team meeting, there is no arbitrary line of organizational hierarchy in your way. Just make a patch and send it in.

There are of course still delays and discussions and disagreements and whatnot; that's the nature of collaboration with multiple humans with agency and ownership. But you never need 24 people to design a menu, because you just start designing it, and people can discuss the work asynchronously on the mailing list. There is no ceremony. All organization is ad-hoc, dynamic, decentralized, and just-in-time. By the time a large "corporate" team has finished building one feature, the open source developers have already released and tested three alpha versions.

I think every product owner should read The Cathedral And The Bazaar and put the bazaar method into practice (or at least try it!).
