I just have the hardest time believing in ARM. Stupidly uncompetitive in every way (except for hyperscalers).

Chuwi (& plenty of others) make a tight tiny little quad-core celeron[1] computer (with case) that'd just whoop this, 8GB ram/128GB storage for $180. The Intel CPU is under $40. You know what it has? 8x PCIe 3.0 lanes, 2x USB 10Gbps, 4x USB 5Gbps, 8x USB 2.0, 2x SATA, dual channel memory, 4 display output ports, 5.5MB cache.

In terms of raw oomph, well, ditto. N5105's tend to score about 670/2000 single/multi core in geekbench, a microsoft surface duo with Snapdragon 855 ~450/1500 on a good day. There is probably a sizable power draw difference under load, but at rest you'd be shocked how nice the Celerons do, and I'd wager the difference is less than you expect, particularly if you power-down a bunch of the controllers/accessories you'd never get with ARM.

ARM is such dead ass useless junk. It's so frustrating that there are such vastly better x86 chips, offering so much more, but we keep waiting with baited breath for ARM to deliver us something, anything that is vaguely capable.

It's been a decade of ARM being shitty, overpriced, hard to get, trashy cpus with few features. We finally get a modestly competent, passably performance piece of kit with some modern basics, and the board costs 2x what it should. RK3588 is one of the worst portends I've ever seen from a chip ever, and there's simply nothing else, not a single other chip on the map that anyone has any hopes of putting into systems like this. We're basically just gonna sit around & wait another 3 years until eventually we get an RPi5, who'll finally help give us something not-embarassing again at an ok price point. The low-end computer market is a joke & there is no one playing.

so it's a belief system then?
> When you say "all apps have full access" - what do you mean?

I mean this: "this means no urbit app or service needs to deal with logins or passwords or crypto.". If apps don't need to deal with that, they have access to your info, doesn't it?
Which is my point. Environment shapes the individual.
Just adding processing steps requires more masks. Moving from visible light to smaller wavelengths requires more and more sophisticated materials for the masks with smaller and smaller imperfections.

To push a technology like DUV (deep ultra violet) further and further requires multi-patterning, which means several masks for a single processing step.

For EUV (extreme ultra violet) no material is transparent so the masks are actually mirrors. With 40 alternating silicon and molybdenum layers, each the exact thickness to match the 13.5nm wavelength, you can reflect enough of the EUV beam to get the job done. Making such a mask is a lot more expensive than one that is basically a glass photographic plate.

The time to actually write a mask has gone up by a large factor, as you mentioned.

The combination of all the factors increases the cost of the masks from a few thousand dollars for 1970s technology to many millions today.
Much of strategic deterrence (the formal term for nuclear deterrence) is analyzed and approached through game theory. So much so that the US DoD's entire strategy rests on 1 simple assumption:

"Every operational plan in the DoD, and every other capability we have, rests on the assumption that strategic deterrence, and in particular nuclear deterrence, will hold. If strategic or nuclear deterrence fails, integrated deterrence and no other plan or capability in the DoD will work as designed. The Nation’s nuclear forces underpin integrated deterrence and enable the U.S., our Allies and partners to prevent and, if necessary, confront aggression around the globe using all instruments of national power"

The threat of Russia's deployment of non-treaty tactical weapons on a non-NATO state has been carefully analyzed for a long time: https://sgp.fas.org/crs/nuke/RL32572.pdf

The most credible reason for Russia to commit to such a deployment of weapons is if Russia believed that the deployment would ultimately lead to a de-escalation of a conflict ("escalate to de-escalate").

At this point, the US/NATO has made clear publicly that any escalation to WMDs/strategic weapons will lead to a response in kind. A response in kind would not lead to de-escalation, and thus Russia's threat isn't really credible other than for information warfare purposes.

But of course, much of game theory rests on the assumption of common knowledge of rationality. This is why the diplomatic/intelligence establishment is so concerned with the state of Putin's rationality.
Man, the dead comments here are wild.

Are there people who believe Disney is somehow pro-LGBT? They're a corporation: they're anti-LGBT and pro-money; the only time they seem to be pro-LGBT is when they think there is a monetary advantage to seem that way.

The only reason Disney is against the Florida "Don't Say Gay" bill is because this might cost them a fraction of a percent of their revenue. Note: they cut anything that can be misconstrued as gay-friendly content entirely for anti-LGBT foreign markets, such as China.

Disney does not care about you, or anyone else. They care about money. They are an entertainment company, and the largest one in the world, and they want to turn your money into their money as efficiently and quickly as possible; no matter if you are LGBT or not, your money is still green.

They are not, however, pedophiles, nor do they support some sort of pedophile agenda. Anyone who claims to believe that doth protest too much.
If you're using a different computer from normal, and don't have a hardware token or don't have it with you, you can't use WebAuthn.

When it comes to systems that have passwords, a zero knowledge protocol should be best at keeping it safe, and while moving password entry out of websites and into the browser isn't a great protection against phishing it's a lot better than nothing.
> While this is true, it also needs to be mentioned that Delhi is not under BJP government (the ruling party).

This is false. Delhi's law and order is directly under Amit Shah, the country's home minister(BJP).
Alas, this further entrenches lock-in.
I have not dropped Netflix but I admit the virtue-signaling in the suggested content has made me stop giving the interface as much attention. The suggestions are crap across the board, and I assume in Netflix's interest more than my own, so I just search, and when I can't find what I want, I go someplace else.

Increasingly, I just go somewhere else.
Nice. Sort of a reverse FizzBuzz.
FFS are you serious? These companies were following the law as it was written when they were doing these things.

How would you like it if you renovated a kitchen or added a deck and then 30yr later got sued because it wasn't adherent to the future code you didn't even know would exist?

You just can't run a society with retroactive liability like that.
I recently just finished a custom PCB art piece -> https://www.behance.net/gallery/137418457/NGC-2336

It was an interesting learning experience that brought me much closer to being able to create functional PCBs. The 45° angled traces however are just such a part of the classic aesthetic it's hard to go for something else. I'll definitely try some more exotic ones in the future.
You missed the important point: an artistic object is a concretion of a structure of meanings. It takes a proper intelligence to build that - you need conceptual depth, reflection etc.: you have by definition wait for a GAN.

To elicit emotions (per se not quite a demanding endeavor) is not sufficient to be qualified as "art".
Two thoughts on that:

Yes, that is an overcorrection on representation. Many places that are highlighted are having things like 1-3% black employees in any capacity. Yeah getting that to 13% with qualified people would be neat!

Secondly, when it comes to being above the national average I think the local area should be considered. When having a company in an area with a greater % of minorities already, with credentials and other marketable skills, then its not really proportionally. Obviously only if the goal is to be equitable or brag about being equitable, as this kind of proportion would be at the expense of the white population national average.

The main goal is to recruit from areas that are being overlooked. There are plenty, they exist. Not just pester a minority that a recruiter found.
It's also about integrating the Qanon idiocy into the Republican agenda.
She-Ra is a show that takes place in a world where people _wield magical swords while riding around half-naked on giant armored tigers_. Yet your chief complaint is that a friend group having several non-heterosexual relationships is a "misrepresentation of reality"?

Seriously?
These areas mostly weren't that populated when these things were being disposed of and these companies were doing the "right thing" by the laws and common standards of the time.
Is Ford responsible if someone drives a Ford blindfolded or drunk?

While it would be wise for Tesla to introduce some form of verification (e.g. push and release the button according to the flashing pattern of the interior lights), I would consider the driver significantly more responsible than Tesla.
Anyone else annoyed at how narrow the term Homelab really is relative to what it could be? Any scientific or maker hobbies could take place in a "home lab," from breeding seedlings, to soldering and electronics work, to 3D printing. But it really means just networking and servers?

Seems too narrow to me.
If by "here" you mean "at academic conferences", then I'd ask you why they bother to actually do primary research and publish it if they have no interest in sharing knowledge.

If all they wanted was to hire people, they... would. You don't have to sponsor a conference to attend or hire from that conference. And you especially also don't need to sponsor additional workshops, or carbon neutrality initiatives, or anything else.

It's genuinely silly to suggest that they spend all this money on things just to hire people. There are so many more effective uses of their money if that is the only goal.
The plane didn't even clear the hood, safe to assume that if an obstacle is at eye level you won't make it under.
Well, there are some who can. Why stop them if they have that ability? Why not encourage them, under the right conditions?
"without closing out the story"

To be fair, that was the fate of almost every television show ever made. In fact, your entire first paragraph is just describing what we used to call "television".
My Arch Linux setup for coding
U.K. patient had Covid-19 for 505 days straight, study shows
Everybody's commenting on the details of the letter and not the fact that the letter got written at all, or by whom ("assistant product manager"). Nowadays the only interaction you'll have with a company is their snarky "social media manager" trying to compete with Wendy's Twitter in the category of "sick burns".
Indeed, but not like the first one.
I feel like there must be some way to detect and avoid objects that occlude space the car intends to occupy but that also don't touch the ground inside that footprint.
Until 2014, BJP was the only democratic party in India which wasn't run by a authoritarian person. Current BJP is now the most authoritarian party where Modi-Shah call the shots. Can you name even a single person who is critical of Modi and still is in BJP? Who opposed ANY decision of Modi government?

If you think Gandhi dynasty was corrupt then why Modi wasn't able to put them in jail? Why didn't he press any charges against them? Again, if you believe Gandhis were corrupt then you should also believe Modi got innocents murdered. He committed genocide and there is no bigger crime than genocide.

I opposed Congress when it was in power without any fear. Initially I opposed Modi too but not anymore. Why? Because I'm scared for my life. That is the difference between Congress and BJP.
Bad stuff happening to people thousands of miles away doesn't seem to impact the average person in the US. I don't see any impact to the average person in the US based on that comment.
There are diseases where you get regular transfusions. For these patients, PFAS would become a problem since they are, by definition, not subject to degradation. Unless, of course, the patients are physically losing blood.

Which makes me wonder if women have a specific advantage on this matter. I do remember reading that regular blood donations show health benefits, and that women get them "for free", so to speak. This may be part of the reason.
> this claim was a real tit spanner because the owners cut-rate insurance company flat-out refused to cover it since the driver wasnt in the car.

I thought the official dogma was that when self-driving cars were in "auto-mode" the manufacturers would be the parties held responsible/liable and pay for any damages cause by their systems.
Last I checked, you cannot send email from GCP IPs, as outbound mail traffic is dropped at their border. Did they change this?
I would have kept Netflix but I got tired of being up charged for 4k content and because they are unable to make dark areas look like anything other than a blocky mess.
Regular cars are full of dangerous functionality, starting with the accelerator, and it isn't even labeled beta.

This makes reckless driving easier, but it should still be considered (primarily) the fault of the driver.
One thing I've always wondered: How do pre-compiled binaries take advantage of new instructions, if they do at all? Since the compiler needs to create a binary that will work on any modern-ish machine, is there a way to use new instructions without breaking compatibility for older CPUs?
Yeah, let's make it harder for the people who have to clean up after security incidents. The automatic logout policies are there for a reason. Bypassing that means one day, somebody's going to forget and leave an important workstation open for a passersby or malicious actor.

If it's that inconvenient, talk with your IT people and make a case for changing it. If you use stuff like this, I hope you get shitcanned.
Both can be true at the same time. A change or scenery and atmosphere can boost creativity.
French salaries are much lower.

On the up side, a lot of things are much cheaper or free (medical fees, internet, life in general except maybe the housing, depending where in the US and in France).

But yes, for your income bracket, you're likely to be worst off.

Keep looking, because salaries in tech are wildly variable, literally 25k to 100k+.

Keep in mind, high salaries are likely to be in Paris, but life their is expensive, especially housing.

And finally, it's your choice. Money is not everything in life, and since you'll be confortable either way, you can choose to gain less for an experience you want to live. Only you can answer if it's worth it or not ;)
You can’t imagine anyone with a shred of real dignity or rational thinkers had anything to do with this. So they sent their B team at it.
I admit I'm still at just HD. And getting rid of that TV with a higher-res one would be something of a task. So I mostly just stick with regular DVDs and HD streaming content.
Same thing happens with JetBrains IDEs. I usually set my Mac to update after midnight but usually find it got stuck with the IDE asking “are you sure you want to quit?”
Yes, we are very different. I live just outside a small town (800people). We are definitely not a "tech" community, but we have a fiber network thats getting upgraded to 10Gbps sometime this summer.

I'm about 3mi outside of town on 5 acres of trees, and I care barely see my neighbor. Its pretty quiet except for the occasional truck driving up the hill. Oh, and the neighbors (or me) occasionally shooting at something.

I highly recommend it, if you can deal with the lack of people and the generally conservative lifestyles/beliefs. If you're a libertarian, just leave me alone, type, it works just fine.
There must be some way to measure that... Eg. Percentage of language 'cancelled' per year.
You could always do the “lite” version like me.

I eat one day and fast the next. I rode this very simple procedure to melt away 40 lbs (was easy). I have been doing this for about 3 months, lately my weights been stable as I’ve skipped fast days.

I also only eat for about one hour on days when I do eat; normally it seems like the sugar rush becomes noticeable at the one hour mark, so even if you eat for the whole hour, that will pause you.

My experience:

1st day of fasting is the hardest. But if you are fasting every other day obviously you’ll get used to it.

You become aware that your imagination (imagining savoring the food etc.) was a big part of your eating. Knowing that it’s easier to not eat.

I don’t know what it’s like to skip food for multiple days (well, more than 2), but for 48 hours between meals, it’s very doable, and stops feeling “heroic” (or needing massive willpower) pretty quickly. It just feels like your stomachs vacation day - which feels good.

Worth finding and watching is the three-part PBS series called Triumph of the Nerds hosted by Robert X Cringley.

It covers the rise of the PC up until the early 90s and has interviews of everybody including Bill Gates Steve Jobs Larry Ellison etc. etc.… It’s pretty amazing.
The other option, which obviously doesn't work for mega-corporate media, is independent, direct support (patreon, etc). Most of my favorite modern content is created in this way, and is entirely free to download and distribute - contribution is entirely optional.

problem is that greedy media moguls want to get paid for a piece of content forever, instead of just raising enough money to cover the labor and advertising, give stakeholders some profit, and move on, so they cannot exist this way.

That is their problem though :)
"It's unforgiveable to not finish the story though."

Not to repeat myself, but we all clearly need a little perspective, because for several generations the norm has been television shows being cancelled without closure. To have an expectation that all shows, or even most shows, should have proper conclusions is completely out of line with reality.
Actually anjoying food is, somewhat paradoxically, a great way to control weight.

Watch fat people eat. It's like they are trying to maximise calorie intake. Food is shovelled in. Bites are taken before the previous one is even swallowed. They don't really enjoy the taste of the food, they just want the feeling of hunger to go away as quickly as possible.

Watch how French people eat. It's not about survival, it's about enjoyment. Each bite is savoured. Time is taken to appreciate the food. It's one of the most important times of the day.

French people eat like they're making love. Fat people eat like they're jacking off to porn to deal with the daily urges.
I'm thinking that its because many HN users live in or close to medium to large sized cities. So they have no perspective when it comes to a place that's truly rural. They just see that some small city has no high rises or large companies and just assume "that must be a rural town."
The Whatsapp part almost sounds like Pegasus.
Google is an ad company whose core competency is getting lots people to click on links and buy things in exchange for money. They aren't exactly revolutionizing the world for good. Most of their innovative ideas get a splashy launch, middling support for a while, and then fizzle and/or get killed.

The idea that there are millions of people who want to be told that motherboard is a dirty word every time they write it, but won't realize that desire until Google foists it on them, just strikes me as absurd.

Cube 2: Sauerbraten is fun and it uses very little resources. The game and engine are open source.

Other than that I can’t really think of anything other than good clones like OpenTTD or crappy clones like minetest.

Maybe Dwarf Fortress in the future if tarn or his brother open source it.
I’m very much like that. What’s that role/position called? Sales engineer? Or is it more than that?
right, just buy 1kg of gold instead
Its because most here have never really been rural. Rural is a place to drive past or fly over on to something interesting.
Ronan Farrow on investigating the most notorious spyware company: NSO
Thanks for the response! It's a lot to think about. And also worth keeping in mind that optimizations like these probably wouldn't generalize well to international use cases; it would be special-snowflake US stuff. I'll try to feel out where current users of the tool stand on this topic; perhaps there are a few relatively straightforward features in this area that would have reasonably broad appeal.
There's a blog post from the early 00s called The Joel Test for judging a software team. Using source control is actually the first question. Sounds like you reinvented it :)

When I read your earlier comment talking about "commerce", I was thinking of ordering a product, which strikes me as a bad fit for chat app unless it's very low volume (and a good fit for a website).

Your bio talks about fintech and digital assets, so perhaps I was imagining the wrong scenarios.
There are YouTube videos of Seymour Cray.

Learn about the CDC 6600 and the architecture compared with top IBM 360 computers.
Learn about Cray I.

Cray was the builder of the fastest computers in the world for a long time. Always sold early machines of each model to scientific govt labs and NSA. The first 6600s were delivered to Livermore and Los Alamos (Wikipedia CDC 6600).

With less than 30 people Cray built a computer (the 6600) about 2 times faster than anything IBM with its massive budget could build. There is a famous letter by IBM's Chief Watson Jr. about this fact at The Computer History Museum website.

When IBM used ICs for the 360's, Cray still used transistors for the CDC 6600. His reasoning is great.

Minor correction: CLAP was not made by U-he, but by someone who works for Bitwig and maintains VST2 builds of U-he synths for Linux.

Schwaa has basic support of CLAP in Reaper at the very least in his own branch. I believe both Reaper and Bitwig devs are waiting for CLAP 1.0 to be announced to make all this official. Which is not too far away.
