That would be the best outcome for PC people. Apple never cared who made their chips; they want the best node at volume. If Intel can get their business, so be it.

However, I doubt it in the next decade. Have you seen how many chips they need for the iPhone?
Actually, in its heyday when Khayyam lived (11th-12th century), Islamic Persia wasn't all that pious and more or less tolerated heresy. That's what led to all its great discoveries -- they were on their way to having the Scientific Revolution before the West. It was the Black Plague in the 14th century that put an end to that.
From a certain POV the structure of an animal's body, as for example, it learns to ride a bike can be given this kind of formulation.

Namely, that the muscle tissue and the motor cortext express a latent representation of riding which is formed under the animal's self-regulative goals of "stability" and "getting to some location" etc.

From this POV, one can model any aspect of reality with this sort of language. I used to be annoyed by this, but less so now. Annoyed because it's pretty hopelessly useless describe any complex physical system this way. It only makes sense if your relevant "feature spaces" are discrete and computationally tractable... i dont think our muscles are good candidates. (Nor likewise, is almost anything).

Nevertheless, you are right that "ML" on a domain whose dimensions are infinite, and in which slices through those dimensions are infinite, and whose models are chaotic -- then ML with an infinity of time to run would produce an animal. And indeed, an intelligent system.

One has to remember here that no one is doing this. What theyre doing is taking a highly regulated non-chatoic, tractable, measured and largely unambigious slice through these spaces --- sampling them --- and taking an average.

Who gave you the knife to take this slice? Was it your cognition, was it the world?

No, neither, it was your body -- largely; and its ability to regulate your imagination; and to guide action.

Formulating reality as-if its patterns can be determined statistically leads to absurd levels of non-computability. Every possible partitioning of the world, in every possible arrangment, moving in every possible way -- what discrete model of this is there?

There isn't one. And this isnt semantic. The challenge of building an intelligent system is a (bio-)engineering one: we require a material which grows intelligently, whose internal chaos is useful. Not a dumb little calculator which comes in to average our efforts after the fact.
If we assume that privacy is 100% respected, "segmenting and targeting" is still not something that benefits consumers.

No, "low effort provocations" has nothing to do with "disinformation" or "spreading knowable lies". I am genuinly astonished that you think all those things are synonyms.

news.ycombinator.com does this right -- moderators rarely moderate based on the message or idea in a post and their opinion about its truth-value. Rather, posts are moderated for being provocative, overly rude, including slurs, low effort, and so on.

Zig specifics aside… build it from source using what? Another compiler. Okay, so you can compile that one from source. But what does that? Another compiler.

Unless you’re recording memory contents and executing instructions by hand, you’ve just discovered the Ken Thompson hack. At some point the pragmatic thing is to trust some bits from a trusted source (e.g. downloaded from an official repo w/ a known cert, etc.).

They didn’t infect them afaik. They didn’t treat them in order to study the progression. Only slightly less monstrous.

But yea, most of the vaccine conspiracies are outlandish. Like the number 666 being in some patent number means it’s the end times, etc.
I've found that Go is not elegant enough for me and Rust is too difficult to write (I started using Rust in 2015 and after years of trying I eventually realized Rust doesn't make sense for most apps), so I'm all in on Crystal. Despite not having much prior Ruby experience, I absolutely love the language.
I like the site too, and use it often.

But I find that with more complex "diagrams" (my attempts at somewhat "technical drawings") it can often feel a bit clunky. Small imprecisions add up quick if you e.g. need to snap a bunch of different shapes together and have them meet back up again. Also I found it impossible to create regular pentagons/hexagons/etc-agons - maybe I missed something though.
I was somewhat of a power user of Photoshop which I pirated throughout my youth. When I grew too old for that sort of thing, it seems that my need for editing images just kind of disappeared. I am not sure why, really.

Every now and then, I need to edit some image though. I tried using Gimp a number of times but it always rubbed me the wrong way. Paint.net was fine on Windows though it felt a bit limited (at the time. I am sure it's great now). However, when I discovered https://www.photopea.com/ I felt straight at home. It runs in the browser and it's free. Amazing! I still don't use it often but when I do, I love it.
There are some differences, yes. But regardless of those differences, society has not collapsed because of those laws. Those laws work just fine.

So they could be extended to other things, and the world would also not collapse if that happened.
I have always wanted to use PCBs as structural elements for something. They are readily available based on fiberglas and aluminium, can be easily designed to whatever shape one likes, are manufactured precisely, allow to have holes and cut-outs, metal layers (even if you do not actually want to create circuits you can still have a metal layer under the soldermask to greatly improve the look of the latter), soldermask (what the surface usually is covered with) can be chosen as one of a number of different colors and the surface can be printed on as well with usually white or black print (that's called 'silkscreen' if you are curious). They are also relatively cheap on top of that. (I dread to think what an aluminium plate with an irregular shape and some cut-outs might cost if one ordered it at a regular metal-working shop.)
> In terms of battery I can take it for a full day's work in town doing the same coding work, and there's no need to start looking for a charging point. Not even "just in case".

I agree.

The M1 architecture is fabulous. But the fact they've managed to cram it into a laptop, without throttling performance and without killing battery life, infact quite the opposite on both fronts, i.e. amazing performance and amazing battery life. Its quite the tour de force.

Hats off to all those at Apple. That's some hardcore engineering there.
Thanks for sharing this. Why do more companies not follow this philosophy?

Perhaps one advantage for Netflix is that they’re largely a one-trick pony. They don’t have 20+ products fighting for attention and engineers within the company.

Just parsing C++ is a rather large undertaking (my understanding is that it's syntax is turing complete).
Any time you see 'conspiracy theorist' in a media context you should stop and remember that virtually every FBI indictment ever handed down includes 'conspiracy to commit mail fraud'. In this context, conspiracy simply refers to two or more people working together to conduct a criminal activity. However, FBI agents are not generally referred to as 'conspiracy theorists' even though their job is to investigate actual conspiracies.

The sociocultural use of the phrase 'conspiracy theory' is of course quite different. It's much more like a critique of religious belief - i.e. the notion there's an all-powerful, all-seeing force behind all events. Could it be the UFO aliens? Black helicopter-flying government agencies? The ancient gods and goddesses of Greek and Egyptian and Hindu theology? The more recent avatars of the Abrahamic traditions?

Now, today's media probably consists mostly of people for whom (Frank Herbert quote here) "religion is a kind of puppet show to amuse the populace and keep it docile, and who believe essentially that all phenomena - even religious phenomena - can be reduced to mechanical explanations."

Even so, it's unlikely that the Guardian would describe the religious beliefs of millions of their readers as 'conspiracy theories' as the phrase is perjorative and intended to belittle or disparage.

Regardless, some large-scale 'conspiracy theories' seem to have quite a bit of truth to them. For example, consider the notion that there was a deliberate conspiracy to fabricate evidence of WMDs in Iraq c. 2002-2003 run by the American and British governments in collusion with corporate media outlets from the NYTimes to FOX News and the BBC. Is that a 'conspiracy theory' or a credible allegation that still deserves serious criminal investigation?

So, how exactly does "the absence of something like a land value tax (...) cause distortions in the market when things change", all other factors being equal?

I fail do get that point and in your example, you don't explain how property value increases would have not happened in the existance of a land value tax.

My Mac Studio Ultra is completely quiet, even when I am using all 20 cores (my art generation tools sometimes maxes out the CPU). Compiling in release mode, and running, is often faster than my brain can realize it's already done.

The last time I felt the machine was faster than I thought it to be was 1984 running Turbo Pascal on a PC/XT. No PC or Mac since then really felt insanely fast to develop on. Until this one.

I run World Of Tanks, which runs in WINE emulator, which runs on Rosetta, and it's as fast as it was on my iMac. I have no clue how this works.

> Dismissing something with essentially no understanding whatsoever is not helpful.

The problem with the plastics industry, the reason so many people are fed up with it, is the 'understanding' you speak of tends to lag their industrial application by many years. So we end up with a whole lot of "X is now known to have bad properties, but we already use too much of it to change now." For instance, virtually every thermoset plastic in use today is impossible to recycle, but there seems to be no going back. Their use continues to proliferate.
My take is that that philosophy needs a system, or culture if you will, to support it. Not every company has such supporting culture.
Well according to the Russian media the west and Lviv particularly was the hotbed of Nazism (back a month ago some distinction was made that that was the particularly bad part of Ukraine, but now it's all teeming with Nazis), so denazification would have to involve the west too. I think it's pretty clear the goal was to replace the government at least, and if they could get another Lukashenko that in itself is almost "annexing"
Yeah, but how many companies have you seen buy a brilliant team like that and then do nothing with it?
I made an effort not to hoard any code I've written for myself. If it helps at least two people (including myself), then I've done my job. In terms of monetizing, I try not to have money as the main objective, but if I can bake in business logic like Patreon, Github Sponsors, Liberapay, etc then I will try that if the project takes off in a big way.

Ask HN: Teach students that programming is like adding a GPU to their brains?
It's not so much that programming will make their brains better (although it might), but it is the combination of programming and their brains together that is much more powerful than their brains alone.

For example, they can become better game designers by writing programs to more easily experiment with and evaluate their game design ideas.
Turning human waste into renewable energy
There are plenty of abandoned railways in Canada, none of which seem to be available on this site. The claim of "in North America" is BS. The creator would be better off just saying "in the United States" considering that North America includes Canada, Mexico, and Greenland.

Saying that the M1 MBP is pure bliss, so much that I'm for the first time considering spending my own money on an Apple product. And that is even though I still had a few issues here and there with Docker but the 'no fan, no heat' and strong battery life make well up for it!
Yes it's fuzzy. Given the chance I'd recommend that you speak to someone in the team to know more about what they are working on. From my experience DS teams in "modern internet" companies are doing some interesting things.
This doesn't directly answer your question, but... something to watch out for is experienced developers can also struggle with promises and async code if they've spent most of their career working with sync code. And when we 'get' it, the difficulty of the journey is often understated. This stuff can be hard, so don't sweat it if it seems frustrating. (On the other hand, it may be easier if you don't have years of sync patterns to mentally set aside )
Compiling can use an arbitrarily large amount of CPU, memory, and disk bandwidth. After all, if more of the critical resource were available, using it would allow compilation to complete faster, which would be a win.

The beach ball occurs when some UI process does not service its event loop. This can be an issue with the process, or it can be caused because that process is contending for resources with the compilation processes.

If the critical resource that's causing a beachball here is CPU, there's two very easy paths forward: either modify your compilation scripts to use fewer threads than the system has physical performance cores, or run the compilation at a higher nice level. In either case the UI process should be able to get CPU when it needs it and not beachball. The higher nice level is generally both the easier and more effective solution, since it will allow the compilation process to continue to use all cores when UI processes are not scheduled.

If the critical resource is memory the system will page, which will turn the critical resource into disk bandwidth. Fixes specific to memory usage here are to get more memory (not really actionable), or to reduce parallelism on the build process.

If the critical resource is disk bandwidth, this is the hardest problem to fix. To my knowledge MacOS doesn't provide good tools for managing disk priority. If the disk bandwidth being used is to access build-related files (source, object files, etc) rather than swap, one possibility is to use a thunderbolt-connected external SSD for the build artifacts, leaving the internal storage for swap and for the UI program. However, if your build process is using so many disk operations that it's starving a UI program, you're likely to see a performance hit going to a slower external SSD.

Having engineers better than the average employee at those companies is a lower bar than you'd imagine.

Smaller companies can pay much more (in expectation), and can simply poach the cream of the crop (who are invariably frustrated by useless process and corporate politics) from the big ones.

On top of that, most development processes are designed to minimize the blast radius of underperforming engineers, so your actual bar is "hire stronger engineers than the dregs from the giant shops".

Well, not really. Are college students taking their student loans and blowing it on "lavish lifestyles"? Or are they just trying to scrape by? My guess is that after non-discretionary expenses (eg. tuition and rent), there isn't much left, unlike for pop stars.
Speculating, but would a 1-2% sales tax that was offset from other taxes on products that used a govt patented TCP/IP have hampered development? It wouldn't have hurt FOSS because a 1% sales or import/export sales tax on old unix install media wouldn't have been significant, and once we had FOSS, we could have included the patented tech in free versions, where it was only when you sold media the sales tax was applied.

Not sure how many patents are held in limbo by govt, but well crafted rules about just a sales tax on products that include govt patented techs could be a plausibly fair way to recoup research investments while making them free to innovation. It's somewhere between the way the (pernicious) RIAA/FACTOR collects royalties on music via surcharges on broadcast and streaming, old "shareware" licenses, and the viral aspect of the GPL, but instead it's via a sales tax.

It could be a unique case for opening up patent archives but then adding a niche licensing and import/export tax on products that use the govt patented materials or technology. Even though I think the idea of using taxes as incentives is fundamentally broken, and there is someting dystopian about universities effectively collecting private taxes through the patent system, in a case like technology transfer, it opens up the tech for innovation and doesn't collect until revenue and profit are realized. It's tax revenue a govt has actually earned by investing, so there is even a plausible libertarian case for it.
Calling changing the feeling of your neighbourhood, or indirectly reducing the market value of your land, 'doing something to you' in this context seems kind of stretching it.

No I didn't. The twitter thread we're talking about used "lab leak" as an example of something that had to be censored but the author also admitted he thinks the lab leak hypothesis is true. Something that was true had to be censored! (I don't think lab leak is true, I'd give it a ~30% vs ~70% for zoonotic).

I don't care about trolling, it's just a neologism for "making a joke" or "taking the piss". "Bad faith" and "disinformation" are words used by people who want to shut down certain debates.
