Brendan Gregg Joins Intel
Do you mind if I ask what's your monthly recurring revenue
"Clippy"? You could call it "Operation Bring Over Brains", or "Operation Bob" for short.
YC companies are not given preferential treatment, with three exceptions, which are clearly defined in the FAQ (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html): Launch HN posts (https://news.ycombinator.com/launches), job ads (https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs), and alumni usernames being displayed in orange to other alumni.

Other than that, YC companies have to compete for attention on HN along with everyone else, and I can tell you that most find it maddeningly difficult.

In some ways we use moderation power to YC startups' disadvantage - we moderate criticisms of YC startups less, not more, than usual (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...).

For example, the tedious angry-generic-repetitive sort of subthread that tends to get upvoted on most common topics is exactly the kind of thing we downweight as part of standard moderation, but we do that less when a YC startup is the topic. That's not because such discussion is any higher-quality in those cases (it isn't), but rather because people are quick to jump to the conclusion that we're doing nefarious things and we need to be able to answer those concerns in good conscience.

The fact that there's all this drama about one such subthread having gotten downweighted is actually an indication of how we don't do that. It happened, but only by mistake.
So who did you choose as a reliable news source going forward, then, instead?

I think you need to be mindful that NYT got duped just like Powell did. It doesn't magically mean they are all bad journalists. It doesn't. You can fantasize that it does if you like, but it doesn't.

NYT is not an in-depth tech reporting organ, so I agree with you on that. But if you want detailed global-scale investigations of complex new issues? Good luck, in the US at least, finding a substantially better source than NYT. You won't. It's not there.
Well it wasnt really clockspeeds, it was performance per watt. The g5 was able to go into a (watercooled) powermac but IBM couldnt get it to run cool and efficient enough to go into apple laptops (or the mac mini iirc). By 2005 intel was, at the very least, probably prototyping multicore (I dont remember if IBM’s processor offering to apple was multicore at the time) chips that blew ibm (and previous intel offerings) out of the water performance and efficiency wise and apple announced the transition.
Really? Certainly there are popular locations out West in season including but not limited to the national parks where it can be hard to reserve a spot/get a permit. But especially once you get to vast BLM and National Forest properties, with some exceptions it's usually pretty easy to just find a spot.In general, even backpacking in the East, your options tend to be more limited.
Bill and Ted and what art is for
Speaking about fair dice, I have a vague memory of reading somewhere that as dice get used, dirt builds up in the pips, causing them to be slightly off-balance. I cannot find anything about this online at all, so it might well be complete nonsense made up by whoever told me. I have, however, found that dice are not random, and that 1 is a more likely result than anything else: https://www.insidescience.org/news/dice-rolls-are-not-comple...
I have a curious question. How to get started? When I am working, I cannot take notes. If I take notes, I won't be working and I will be derailed from my work.

When I am out of work, I forget the details of what I did because I lose the flow of it.

So it's a very confounding situation. I am in a ever growing battle between write or work. Can you advice on how to express what we learnt?

I will be very appreciative of it. Thank you so much!
For me, nothing beats the act of creation. I will always be willing to make all sorts of extreme sacrifices in the hope of creating something enduring.
China's Growth Prospects
The data that this study will gather depends hugely on what internet forums it is spread around. I would guess that HNers would have very different results than a randomly-selected sample of the population. I don't see how a study that gathers data via internet virality can possibly credit or discredit a theory like this.

The way I read it, almost all countries had extra mortality despite lockdowns, and despite a very mild flu year in 2020 and flu being basically not a thing in 2021.

In fact the only countries with negative mortality are either islands or the northern Europe countries which have long been known to be outliers.
This is like saying "don't you think the police are part of the community?" They are, but not in the sense of the community that should be the way kids learn how to be adults.
Professional designers I work with, on some of the top brands in world, always have references on what they want to copy or steal. Don't feel bad about it.
Yeah metalanguages sounds good. I was also thinking of tongue or jargon, but metalanguages seems less ambiguous/more polished (not a native speaker anyway) Ah cool, that's definitely a useful job. In my last adventure in the corporate space as engineer that was definitely a topic.

(To answer the edit: I think this emotional communication reminds me so much of EQ and all this. Dealing directly on the language layer with this seems more next level I would say)
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing these rules, I think they’re super helpful.

Do you have any particular rules about performance? I worry that accepting net improvements on functionality alone could result in “death-by-a-thousand-cuts” performance issues down the line (assume it’s a project where performance is one of the deliverables).

Would you ask a contributor to perform benchmarks or some other performance validation, for example?
This by the looks of it is in Jonathan Blow’s Jai language.

How are you finding working with it? Have you done a similar thing in C++ to compare the results and the process of writing it?

200k at 200fps on an 8700k with a 1070 seems like a lot of rabbits. Are there similar benchmarks to compare against in other languages?
It doesn't mean the investigation is completely false either, you just have to pinpoint the truth in between.
What if I want a "creaky Android phone" so I can, like, replace the battery? There are advantages to alternative designs, too.
The author is invested, but there is some question about whether he or she has realized that.
The first case consists of counts that are relative primes, so it's a multiple of the product. No need for code, just a hand-held calculator, but that's not the point of the post, of course.
Youtube is fine: enter a search, choose a time period, disable auto-play.

I'd also say my own hackerer.news since I visit HN too much and it helps me cut down by seeing that there's nothing new to see.

StackOverflow is so much better than other Q&A sites. As well as the Reddit compact/classic view.

I think my preference is generally less design is good design: form follows function. Basically don't do all the bad things that are done on the sites with poor or too much Design.
Oh you didn't read the article?
JSON5 might be a good candidate for these attributes.
Looks like one page to me: https://go.dev/ref/spec
After looking at the examples, it looks to me that it uses a hashmap (with a generated token to identify the connection structure).

It gets around putting a ptr into the event structure (that epoll will then return) by putting a tokenID into it instead (that epoll returns), that the connection_handler function will then use to retrieve the connection instance that it needs to work with.

IOW, in `C` I'd create an instance of a `struct connection_t` and `epoll_wait()` returns the pointer to the instance.

This way, it appears that an ID is placed into the event structure and the { ID : corresponding instance } tuple is stored in a hashmap. `epoll_wait()` returns the ID, the caller uses that ID to get an instance to work with.

Although, I could be wrong - I'm not a Rust dev.
getting closer to "whatever that means" without being technically correct is:

DNA in cells encode proteins that are used to construct things.
this happens in centralized locations involving ribosomes,
endoplasmic reticulum, blah blah lots of steps and you have a specific protein
that may need to be used somewhere else.

The cell is built with strings like cables or chains (actin filament),
each with the same repeating pattern of molecules.
These get used like roads or tracks to move stuff (specific proteins)
from one end of a track to the other.

But the both track the thing that needs to be moved just float in the cytoplasm
and so we make these bizarre stick animal looking molecules (ATP) that literally walk along these roads and can carry a protein with them (way faster and more targeted than just floating).

nothing like deliberately climbing a rope with a load is free
even if you are a just handful of atoms,
there is an physical exchange (atom rearrangement) that changes each step
the energy to effect the rearrangement that causes the "step"
is taken from breaking up a sugar molecule. You do this allot.
where that means you go through your own mass of these little beasts of burden ever day;
where these little critters are produced is a "mitochondria" organelle.

So mitochondria produce little beasts of burden that can atomically walk
along actin filaments while carrying more than just themselves.
This can be used move stuff out by transporting it to the cell membrane,
or bring things in, house-keeping tasks.
But! you can also rig the actin (& myosin) up to pull one side of a cell
against the other side of the cell and change the cells shape alot.
(or quickly release a pulled cell)

This is how muscle work which is likely approaching the "powerhouse" concept
without the mitochondria organelle (former parasite/symbiot now integrated)
we would not have the genes to produce these wonderful little atomic constructs
that can walk wherever we put path with a particular pattern on it
all while carrying a comparatively heavy load.

I recall, but can not now find, an in-vivo video of this
and being shocked at how fast they walk relative to their size.
maybe someone with fresher brain cells can help.
> Couldn't we just as arbitrarily say that parents should strictly teach academic material, while schools teach other values?

No. Parents are responsible for basically everything, and schools exist as a place parents can choose to send their children to be educated. Schools and parents are not equal, with a coin flip to decide who does what.
It is a layman’s expression that means the mitochondria produces ATP: https://biologydictionary.net/atp/
And if you’re deployed to any dangerous area, your salary during that time is tax free (from what I’ve been told)
Every time I read an article about C++, the language seems to have gotten more complex and arcane than it was the last time I read about it.
Not only has Apple Watch been hugely successful by any reasonable standard, it has wildly exceeded any standards of success that were even considered possible at the time of its introduction. And this is obvious. It has basically obsoleted the entire Swiss watch industry and has replaced it as a status symbol except for itinerant rich watch nerds who can afford Patek Philippe and Rolex collections. It has also created an entire new category of watches as a fitness and lifestyle device with capabilities that simply did not exist before.

And of course in the smartwatch market, Apple Watch created that market as it exists today and dominates said market. (Yes, I am aware that a tiny, nascent version of this market existed before. That's now irrelevant.)
As someone who recently lived through a weather disaster (possibly as a result of climate change), I'll say that you can stick your head in the sand as much as you want, but when the power goes out and the supply lines shut down, shit gets real pretty quick.
This is not the study. It is an article talking about the research. It contains a link to the scientific paper (here it is: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2120529119 ) which unfortunately is not open access. The abstract is accessible, though (abstracts are short summaries with the most important information about the work).

Edit: this seems to be an earlier pre-print:

>What is the “entropy value of the system”? It seems to be more a property of the description of the system than of the system itself.

Yes. That is what entropy is as defined.

>If we don't know P and T we cannot calculate _one_ "entropy value" for the system at all because the corresponding macrostate is not defined.

If the input is macrostate. And you don't know the macrostate. Then you can't calculate the value. That's pretty basic and this applies for ANY model. If you don't know the input variables, you can't calculate anything. Nobody talks about mathematical models this way. This applies to everything.

I don't think you picked up on my model argument either. You seem to think you made progress on us agreeing that entropy is a "model." I'm saying every single math formula that representing physical phenomena on the face of the earth is a "model." Thus it's a pointless thing to bring up. It's like saying all mathematical formulas involve math. If entropy uniquely has a parameter called knowledge that affects it's outcome, citing properties universal to everything doesn't lend evidence to your case.

Let's "reconcile" everything:

You're implying that there is some input parameter modeled after knowledge. And that input parameter affects the outcome of the entropy calculation. I am saying no such parameter exists. Now your saying that knowledge of the input parameter itself is what your talking about. If you don't know the input parameter you can't perform the calculation.

The above is an argument for everything. ANY model on the face of the earth if you don't know the input parameters you can't derive the output. Entropy is not unique for this property and obviously by implication we're talking about how you believe entropy is uniquely relative to knowledge.

>Alice can calculate S1 and S2 and the final entropy is SA=S1+S2.

Who says you can add these two entropies together? S1 and S2. The macrostates are different and Mixing the two gases likely produces a third unique set of macrostates indpendent of the initial two.
> what people are failing to realize is that if a SF-based company was paying you $300k, and the market rate for the same level of skill in North Dakota is $100k, there is nothing stopping them from hiring a lot of ND based developers and slowly winding down SF-based devs.

As someone who has been remote, even pre-COVID, I can tell you this is not at all how it works. Trust me, a dev based in North Dakota who has Google, Lyft, Stripe, etc. on their resume will have no problem making within 10-20% of the same pay as someone based in San Francisco.

The issue is people want to claim that someone who works at Bob's IT Shop in North Dakota or a new grad from North Carolina is the market equivalent of an SF dev who's deeply embedded in the industry, and that's false. The first thing is conflating skill with experience. Being a good coder doesn't necessarily make you qualified to work on production systems for a large company.
> The PR should be created with zero commits

Doesn't a PR need a commit to be able to create it?
Made the CTA changes based on your suggestions, would be looking into the other ones as well in the morning :)
How do you "solve it in real time" when it's memorising foreign language vocabulary, researching a topic, or writing an essay on a theme in a book?
What measure would have afforded Apple Watch a better rating than “modestly successful”?
I love Daniel’s vectorized string processing posts. There’s always some clever trickery that’s hard for a guy like me (who mostly uses vector extensions for ML kernels) to get quickly.

I found myself wondering if one could create a domain-specific language for specifying string processing tasks, and then automate some of the tricks with a compiler (possibly with human-specified optimization annotations). Halide did this sort of thing for image processing (and ML via TVM to some extent) and it was a pretty significant success.
> You could retain ownership and rent it to your company. Sell it in return for debt, etc... For example maybe you sell your SaaS to the business for £20M then forever the company is repaying debt to you, instead of paying dividends.

This idea is very alien to me. Can you link to any concrete examples of this for something like a small solo SaaS company? How do I pick the price? Where is the purchase money coming from when I'm selling it to myself with a company that is starting from nothing? How do I decide between selling vs renting it? What stops this being abused to avoid tax?
If you are responsible for fixing everything, you know you're not big enough, and it's hopeless.

If you have no power to change anything, you're helpless and it's also hopeless, but for the opposite reason.

In between, there's a balance. Do the best you can to help with what you can. Let the rest go - you can't fix it, so you can't try to carry the responsibility for it.

As a theist, I'm trying to find and maintain the same balance as s1artibartfast. Especially "wisdom to know the difference"...
Honestly that’s a separate issue, I don’t know about the legality of this, I’m just pointing out this is nothing to do with censorship.
Lawrence Livermore National Lab has some good HPC tutorials here:

11th gen Intel chips were still 14nm, the top chip had less threads than the 10th gen because of the thermals, and intel xe was, iirc, only offered with the 11900/11900k (i.e. the top of the stack). Intel has had a stranglehold on integrated transcoders for a while but AMD’s integrated vega cores (soon to be RDNA2) still wipes the floor with current integrated XE offerings gaming wise…
I tried it once, didn't get anywhere, and I'm too humble to keep doing it. Seems like you need to post it frequently--I look at the authors of front page Show HNs and they've posted it at least 5+ times.
I’m asking for why humans evolved in that way while other primates/mammals didn’t. One would assume that there was some sort of selective pressure.
XQuartz still exists and is still being updated, and you can either download and install it via an installer or install it via a package manager like MacPorts or Homebrew. It works just fine.

Things aren’t any harder now than they were when X11 was first unbundled and became XQuartz.
I used to have this problem then I figured that this takes too much time and it is also frustrating. So what I ended up doing it that I added some code quality checkers that will break the build if the PR is shit. If not then I usually approve it after glossing over it.

The thing is that most of these PRs are small and very localized. The potential to do damage is very low. I'd rather have some new feature implemented with some not-so-stellar code that's hidden behind an interface then doing it myself.

I think there is a goldilocks zone between perfection (and being a control freak) and a steaming pile of crap where the stuff you're working on has a clean architecture and it is acceptable to have a few poorly written modules. I usually end up rewriting them anyway when I have time and they perform poorly. By that time the contributor is usually either long gone or already improved their skills so they don't mind me tampering with the code.

TL;DR: after it passes the tests / quality checker I just merge them and fix them later if they are too crappy. All in all the project benefits more from this compared to too strict coding standars.
Hypothetically if you’ve documented how you expect contributions to be, and someone doesn’t follow that, then at least they can’t say that they couldn’t have known what you wanted when you reject it.

The thing that is hard for people to get is that time costs a ton of money. If you use software without contributing back at all, you’re getting a lot for free but at least you’re not actively costing the project. If however you “contribute” in a lazy way, it starts to actively cost the maintainers to deal with this. So: feel free to contribute but read up on what a project wants and try to show that you’re at least meeting their effort halfway in terms of sufficient detail, following coding styles and request templates, etc.
Positive always based on the choice of our macrostate.
I’ve been wondering a lot lately if it’s possible that time is felt differently (I guess moves) for us on an individual level.
It's in the May 2022 edition of ACM, so it is at least very, very new. New enough that the number of Go users and criticizers who have read it are currently a rounding error away from zero.
I would love a full width Touch Bar right above the fn key row they just brought back. I don’t see why it has to be one or the other.
Gosh I had to think back a moment to remember 68k to PPC. I wonder if that transition could be considered “botched” in that it happened at instead of going directly to x86. Outside hindsight I recall it was considered a questionable choice at the time.
I just wrote a comment where I outline almost the same tactics. I think this is the most sensible strategy.
Well respected and compensated engineers usually have a depth of experience that extends beyond their REST framework. That’s what the parent was advocating.
> I still struggle to find a good way to phrase "Stop asking me to work on the weekends for things that are very low impact".

The first step would be to confirm that you are in fact being asked to do this, and what you think the consequences of ignoring the request would be.

It can be okay to just not do something you're asked to do, or at least not do it right away. People don't have a right to your time and effort just because they wrote you an email or a Slack message.

I agree it'd be nice not to be asked in the first place, but the first step in a situation like this is to minimize the impact of the requests on you.
I think you are thinking of the term discontinuities? Inflection points are notoriously not easily visible in graphs. Here’s an inflection point for example: https://www.calculushowto.com/inflection-point/
I'm not a big Undertale fan myself (and certainly not a big Toby Fox fan), but I think the bullet hell gameplay was anything but a gimmeck. Traditional RPG combat simply wouldn't work in Undertale, it would be immensely more boring had there been such a low skill ceiling for a pacifist playthrough. Not sure what traditional RPGs you're playing, but Undertale is anything but boring. Unfunny? Sure, it heavily depends on your sense of humor. Kitschy? Indeed, it inherits that from it's roots in Homestuck. But calling it boring doesn't quite line up, in my head at least.
I emailed this dude and found out he is legit, but his sci-tech is outside my area of expertise.
Even in ebay, I can offer something for a firm price, someone can offer to buy it at that firm price, and I can still cancel the sale for a variety of reasons. If someone offers a OBO price, I can counteroffer, and still cancel the sale after they accept the counteroffer. It may hurt my eBay reputation, but I'm under no obligation to sell at any price unless I explicitly agree to it. Giving a counteroffer isn't an actual agreement to sell.
Ahh thank you! Emotional metalanguage? Haha probably too much. EDIT: "emotional" is probably too taboo for most workplaces currently. However I hope in the future we realize just how integral emotion is to communication—it's there whether we want to admit it or not.

I also scored 60+ (actual age is in my 30s). I had similar thoughts and also did things like not use up all the numbers and repeat numbers more than twice exactly because I've looked at a lot of random number sequences in my life and I was trying to make it look like one of those.
