I agree. That's why the Cosmopolitan Libc repository includes support for C++ as well as a JavaScript interpreter. It has Python 3. You can build Python 3 as a 5mb single file Actually Portable Executable that includes all its standard libraries! Then you put your Python script inside the executable using a zip editing tool and it'll run on Mac, Windows, Linux, name it. You can also build Actually Portable Lua too. More are coming soon.
I'm in a similar boat. I like what he's achieved with SpaceX, Tesla and Starlink. I don't like his views on trans people (which are ironic, considering he named his droneships after Culture Minds), as well as his inflammatory character. Art vs. Artist and all that.

It won't increase revenue if a large chunk of the currently subscribed-for-life people bail, it'll be eternally forfeited profits.

Just as a thought experiment - how many people currently subscribed would be subscribed for 30+ more years if they could just maintain what they have been doing for 30 years? The potential lifetime revenue is so huge it is a shame any time they do something that makes a lifetime subscriber bail on 30+ years of subscription payments without a second thought.

It's like they have the fish on the hook and they're debating if they can catch more fish by cutting the ones they have loose.

I think that's a great assessment. Other than being great friends with Bruce Sterling I'm not aware of afterward works considered derivative that he's directly praised. Maybe some Stephenson works and Sterling?

"Bruce Sterling - Islands in the Net": not as gritty-noir as Neuromancer, not as pop-cynic as Snow Crash but a genre classic imho.

>There is no such thing as absolute free speech and I have no idea where you all are coming up with this idea.

As with so many plagues on American society and current political discourse, this came from Trump supporters, specifically angry at being banned from social media platforms for hate speech and disinformation, and suddenly deciding that rules and social consequences for their behavior were a violation of their civil rights. The attempt to redefine free speech is part of a movement to impugn social media platforms as engaging in widespread politically motivated suppression of free speech, with the implication they need to be forced by law to host the kind of content they would otherwise refuse to.
It’s the discussion topic, though.
For Musk, getting rich and living a lavish lifestyle is exactly the same as investing in causes he feels are important to him.

The problem here isn’t that Musk is necessarily greedier than any other majority shareholder, it’s that Musk is greedy in a peculiar way that is at odds with so many other people in the world. It’s important to embrace and understand differences, but put too much leverage behind one voice or vision and there will be consequences. And there’s a lot of criticism and evidence that Musk does not use his leverage over others responsibly.
I think the aesthetic, whether Gibson likes it or not, is interesting & compelling enough to stand on its own, outside of any specific or inherent social commentary. Though I agree that as an environment for stories its no longer well suited to commentary on society today. Some of what he envisioned has become mundane parts of everyday life, in some form or another. Others never much materialized. For the former, well, mundane doesn't cut it if you're after edge-walking commentary on society's direction at the intersection of technology and human behavior.

Charles Stross's early works came in at tail end of cyberpunk, lets call it the silver age, and to me they read like they're trying to find a way forward for the genre, and he ultimately decided that wasn't the way to go. So he branched out from there, including to near-future sci-fi. This was ultimately a dead end because he kept finding that, no matter how strange the plot, by the time a manuscript was really starting to take its final form he was already proven right by current events. And publishing schedules being what they are, his book wouldn't hit shelves until a year or more later at which point they'd read like derivative commentary on year++ old events. Essentially, his predictions were pretty good, but his expected timeline was far too generous: the future was coming too fast. All of his work is worth reading though, and I think his Laundry Files & Merchant series would appeal to different, somewhat overlapping sets of HN readers. For one of the most interesting mind fck time travel stories, check out his short work Palimpsest.
graphics is not the only part of an engine

- deployment to multiple platform with ease

- easy scripting to make live services easier to iterate

- easy assets cooking, so you don't have to spend too much time to make different kind of assets for different platforms

- collaboration, so your team can work on the same project with ease

- then all the other systems audio/input/networking/terrain stuff etc

Fortnite is available on every platforms in the market (minus the web), their ability to add content and update it quickly, across all of their supported platforms at the same time is a great showcase

Just like Genshin Impact is a great showcase for Unity

> The spec sheet mentioned PCIe x 128 for all of them as well.

Due to the way they've sliced it, you always get full PCIe PHYs (128 lanes) just like you get full memory PHYs. They literally only gimped the memory bandwidth, like the controllers are gone but the PHYs remain and the other 4 controllers can use all of the PHYs. It's kinda weird, I don't think I've seen it done like that before.

Incidentally though this probably does mean some weirdness with locality at those extremes though - half of your lanes don't have any CPU cores locally and everything they do is running through the quadrant-interconnect.
About why somebody would buy it:

I think people expect it because that's what we've been told for so long that nobody bothers to question it along with other societal tropes like "having children is the greatest experience you can hope for" or, like we tell kids before eventually telling them they need to find jobs, "that you can do anything you put your mind to".

But he makes money from those ventures and is therefore immoral! /s

I don't understand why so many people seem to hold the attitude that the only acceptable response to someone having money is to pressure them to squander it by giving it all away to atrociously inefficient systems (government, charities, etc). Making money is not immoral. And neither is using money to make investments to make more money.
Not only is it automatic LOD, it also avoids multiple draw calls for a single pixel. If your geometry is so complex that multiple polygons would render to a single pixel in the end (say, a very complex fractal viewed from far away), Nanite also manages to crunch all these polys into one. Effectively, it makes rendering massive scenes a much more constant amount of draw calls.

>Rumors are the iPhone 14 will have the same A15 and only the Pro will get the A16. I think you'll see a bunch of people freak out about this, but honestly, phones really don't need to be faster at this point.

I think if this rumor were true then Apple would not have launched the iPhone SE with the A15. There was really no reason for the SE to have the A15 but they shoved it in there, anyway.
When I broke my ankle I actually built a "live" version of r/Place for Android without ever hearing about r/Place. People just called it a "place clone" :p

It supports much larger images though!

You can find it on Android called "Pixmap".

How I built it:

Server: Client side websocket load balancing against NodeJS servers. Client connection location stored in DB. Separate service to route events between the client facing servers. Separate service which pulls change events from the DB and applies to images and also keeps track of the most popular areas of rooms, so the client can auto zoom you to those areas when you join.

Changing pixels involves two things. 1. Broadcasting the immediate event, and 2. Processing the image. When someone joins a room, they just fetch the image. The image processor is in Node too.

Client architecture: App is in pure Java. There are two rendering engines that we switch between based on zoom level. When you zoom out far, we mostly use the GPU, and individual pixel changes update a bitmap which is then pushed to the GPU. When you zoom in, it mostly uses the CPU and just a canvas as it feels more responsive this way. Also allows us to do things like add annotations to show who is drawing. Getting the transition seemless is tricky.

There's also a whole matchmaking system, which was a fun thing to build.

Anyway my ankle healed and I switched to other projects... :)
framing criticism as subversion or insubordination is pretty telling.

UT4 is still a free game with some community content.

With no scripting support, adding content like vehicles is pretty much impossible. Blueprints are not sufficient for such a task. A few people implemented them but requires C++ and the game doesn't support downloadable c++ mods. The C++ mods would have needed to be incorporated into the native side of the game but it never came. There is enough content there collectively for a new game but it would need Epic to lead the way. It's a bit too late now for that.

I play UT4 and UT2004 and UT2004 has a bigger community today, 16 years later, than UT4 does.
They are a megacorp which employs actual humans who generally aren't evil. The evilness is usually an emergent behavior.

I doubt the security team is sitting there choosing not to patch this, given that they are passionate about security. And it's unlikely that management has told them "don't release the patch, we want the people on old OSs to suffer!!".

Most likely is that they just don't have as many resources for writing and testing the patch on the old versions, so it's taking longer.

I do think this was the correct ruling and applying maximum damage was the correct remedy. Oberlin still thinks it was correct in allowing and encouraging employee to libel and defame another entity and even cancel contracts without compensation.

If anyone thinks this way about Student Free Speech you have to have willing and purposefully choose to stick your head in the sand and ignore the fact that school admins acting in their official role and on the clock for Oberlin joined in these protests, even supplied material, and broke contracts without paying the penalty required by the contract.
Approaches that use asymmetric crypto have the advantage that you can use keys that can't be copied - if only the TPM or secure enclave has access to the key, I know that the only copy of the key is on the device.
Neal Stephenson gives a spicier take on this in Snowcrash: "... the Invisible Hand has taken away all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani brickmaker would consider to be prosperity."

> Counting instructions is very accurate and roughly approximates power usage

I’ve always assumed this to be true, but I see a lot of benchmarking tools / libraries measuring wall-clock time or iterations-per-second or something like that, I’ve never seen a benchmark tool which counts CPU instructions. Am I being blind or is there some other reason that I’m not seeing them? :S
There was a community led Unreal Tournament working in collaboration with Epic, but it's basically been abandoned.

Is your plan to open-source this or open-source its core in the future?
Pumped storage is certainly the easiest thing to deploy right now, anywhere you have hills. There are projects to make pumped hydro work where there are no hills, but there are deep underground cavities, or deep ocean near enough by you can put a tank under. In those, you pump water up from a space or tank below, and let water back into it to discharge. For the latter, you don't even need a long pipe, just a pump/turbine at the bottom of the tank, so it doesn't even need to be very nearby, just near enough to run a transmission line to. (That applies to any pumped hydro, BTW.)

Ammonia means, simply, synthesizing anhydrous ammonia from environmental nitrogen and hydrogen (that electrolysed from water). To get the power back out, you burn it in your gas turbine, or (in future) use fuel cells. The attractions are that excess ammonia may be sold on the open market, so your synthesis equipment sits idle only when you are actually drawing down on your tank; and it doesn't cost anything more than the tankage to bank it indefinitely. If you need more ammonia than you have banked, you just buy it, maybe shipped in from a solar farm in the tropics.

Remarkably, if you have just enough of some more round-trip efficient storage to get you through the night, the round-trip efficiency of the ammonia, hydrogen, liquified nitrogen, or what-have-you doesn't matter very much. Solar panels are so cheap, you can afford to be wasteful.

Carbon is the 4th most abundant substance in the universe. What is wild is that life is good enough at stealing it away from oxygen to have almost scrubbed it out of our atmosphere. (Compare to Venus.)

It will be important to get the carbon back out of the air, and then not turn around and, as everybody seems so eager to do, burn and exhaust it again. A business model where we end up with the carbon sequestered has been hard to come up with.

There was a suggestion to make it into fiber and put that in cement, thereby strengthening concrete so you don't need as much; but the best source for that carbon is cement manufacture itself, which exhausts CO2 at much higher concentration than in the atmosphere. So, it only helps much if you need a lot more carbon for that than you would have exhausted.

Nowadays a 0-day basically means the person who found it decided to exploit it instead of report it. So the company finds out because there is an active exploit instead of having it responsibly reported.

It's shorthand for "an exploit that wasn't responsibly reported".
I think the main key difference here, however, is that it is not the state (the US government) deciding to offshore any of this manufacturing. It is some rich fat cat American CEO who wanted a bigger paycheck.

Thankfully for some very key industries we still have onshore manufacturing and that is increasing in modern times.
Lol what kind of country do you live or want to live in where the government prescribes what kind of computers a company can or can't give its employees?
I just checked and I'm on Big Sur.

It's the reboot, for me. It's just inconvenient enough that I put off upgrades for a long time, usually. I usually apply iOS updates promptly, because it's much easier to say "yes" to those since it's not going to lose much useful state on re-boot. Plus they seem to complete a lot faster.
Does 'Backus–Naur form' meet your interest? It is a formal way of describing the syntax of a programming language, but I suspect it is not used much for modern programming languages:

Many things in the world are possible. I often find probable to be a more useful concept than possible. Any tool with deterministic results (such as Nix) are highly likely to reduce a whole class of future problems.

With this in mind, the question shifts from rather vague talk about possible futures to various kinds of scenarios.

What happens when software developers have a deterministic build system? On the whole, the benefits are significant. Sure, there are costs to get there. In my view, the benefits often outweigh the costs.

A good chunk of that anger was because of trolls. People extending someone else's flag over other's artwork, random streamers calling their followers for vandalism, and general griefing.
