This is essentially incorrect. While we can point to legendary incidents such as Carthage in the history of empires, the Mongols are notable in premodern history for systemically using this as a strategy to conquer large rivals by fear and hold a territory size that conventional pre-modern empire building would not allow. Regardless of morality, most empires were better positioned to preserve and exploit life and property than the Mongols. Archeological evidence supports this. This kind of conquest isn’t right either and we aren’t saying all non-Mongols aren’t evil (and I appreciate you were also trying to make this point.)

Total war is a separate concept from genocide. Though both can be practiced in the same war, targeting economic and political support for war does not necessarily mean systemically eliminating a population.
Shrinkflation? Working people can't afford to drive to work 5 times a week.
Felt similar after my SE(1) to 13 Mini upgrade.
Then they should be honest and call it MMRP — manufacturer’s mandatory retail price [maximum] (with corresponding French equivalent).
I've run Monterey on my MacBook Pro Mid 2014 since the first betas using OpenCore Legacy Patcher. OTA updates work fine. Never had any issues.
The article's title right now is "ON STRETCH WRAP". Are you saying the article used to be named "ON STRETCH RAP"?
> CPU performance really stalled out over the years.

It can be fun to look through https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html. In single-threaded performance, the cheapest retail processor I could find at a glance just now (the Intel Pentium Gold G6405) is about 1.4× as fast as the fastest processor of a decade ago, the i7-3960X. The i3-12100 is about 2× the i7-3960X. The i9-12900KS is about 2.4×. (And all this disregards memory performance improvements which I believe will make typical loads much fasterer still.) Then multithreaded performance, well, there you’re looking at more like 5× increases on high-end SKUs of both eras.

(As for the Athlon XP 3000+, well, the i9-12900KS is around 10× single/170× multi on it.)

Simple simplified simplistic summary: a similar grade of processor now is probably at least 2–4× as fast as the one of a decade ago for practical tasks, even ignoring other related improvements.
Your choice is to allow people to be phished for credentials, then.

Gullible people will cheerfully complete any attacker-described PC syncing process, ignoring every security warning presented to them, in order to give away the keys to their accounts. They’ll use a friend’s PC, or a library PC, or anything under the sun, if the phished promises to give them something for nothing.
You've completely misunderstood this this conversation. The limit on the height from which a pump can suck water is a limit that applies to all pumps, no matter how powerful. There's no comparable limit for pumps pushing water upward. Yes, each particular pump will have its own limits, but there's no comparable overarching fundamental limit.
same. my personal mac is still going strong. I even had the battery replaced two years ago
Besides the benefits or drawbacks of the 4-day workweek on its merits, it's worth remembering that behind the headlines such as "$COUNTRY tests $SOCIAL_CHANGE", it's usually some entity in $COUNTRY on a mission rather than an organization that's representative of the opinions of its population. Same thing has been happening with Scandinavian countries too – there's always a rotating cast of Sweden, Finland and Norway making such headlines. Usually, though, it's a smaller organization or a government agency that wouldn't have the power or influence to turn this pilot into transformative social change.
The smaller the chunk (file) sizes, the less benefit you're getting from pushing the chunks through a CDN. More requests will come back to your origin server. And there's a lot of complexity in the pipeline from encoder -> origin server -> CDN that's mostly hidden (which is good) until you hit big performance cliffs (which is bad).

This is something that I think most people trying to implement low latency HLS and DASH have struggled with. It's not only the connection to the client that can stall. Your CDN can stall internally, too, waiting on chunks. And, in fact, if your CDN never ever has any internal performance issues, that's probably an indication that it's configured in such a way as to make the costs of delivering video through the CDN pretty much the same as the costs of delivering that same data through cascading WebRTC media servers!

Also, the CDN -> client link is TCP, so you're giving up the ability to just drop packets. TCP is going to do its lossless/ordered thing for you, which again is great for most of what we do on the Internet but starts to actively work against you when you're trying to get down to very low latencies.

Does that make sense? I tried to cover some of this in the footnotes. Apologies for not doing a better job.
The SE is losing support this September with iOS 16
My sandy bridge 2600k from 2011 is still perfectly fine for gaming and stuff. I can overclock it easily, but there's not even really a need to.

I did build a new desktop when zen3 came out at the end of 2020, but that was a spare-no-expense splurge on my part a few months after I spent 5 days in the hospital ICU with a surprise heart problem. Because of the supply issues, I didn't get the 5950x until 2021. I finally just got a "new" GPU about a month ago for a reasonable price on eBay, a 6800xt. I used a Corsair PSU from probably 2007. I figure I should be good for another decade!

My daughter is 3 right now. Maybe the 2600k based system will be her first computer in a few years. A step up from the Apple II my dad set up for me!
> A woman can easily have 4 children and suddenly half of the women can also be childless and still achieve a 2 children average.

The median is close to the average in kids per women in the developed world. Having four kids is harsh on many women’s bodies; eg my grandma had 8 kids, but she died in her late 50s. While no doubt some couples will want to go for four kids or more, I don’t think it’s ethical to encourage it over a more standard 2 something for most couples.
I have never had bad service and everything always came ahead of schedule. Maybe it's your drivers not Amazon. They have the most efficient shipping system there is. It works fine by me. If I've ever had a problem they have always fixed it. Even the Messenger system they have is extremely polite and very courteous. This is a personal issue not a hit piece. This woke nation is extremely rude and Amazon and all Amazon AI systems and employees and drivers you're an amazing company I completely appreciate you and all you provide. This company is so helpful for ones that can't leave their house. Some people actually appreciate even the little things. They could disappear overnight. Being awake amidst the woke nation. The reason these companies are being bought out. With such a great service maybe they need better clients. Ones that are grateful. These driver's work even on the weekend. Show a Little respect it goes a long way. People are so rude lately. Maybe a reality check is necessary. These companies profile is and could delete your file. Due to the Patriot Act we are all being monitored and recorded at all times. Be the solution not the problem. Thank you everyone at Amazon all of your satellite systems towers devices that let us all communicate with one another.
Give yourself extra life. Buy the best tools you can.

Don't let virtues learned by necessity become the vices that suck up your lifetime. You'll never get the time back that you spend working on unimportant projects, sustaining old builds, placating unhappy people, working on slow computers, etc. Unless it's the fastest way for you to deliver whatever good you have to the world, put it aside, especially if you've invested time to get good at tending it. There's no deeper hole to lose your irreplaceable lifetime.
It indeed was the 2015 model. I have an early 2015 MBP sitting in my desk as I’m typing this which I use primarily as a slack machine and it still has the old good keyboard.
Good comment; thank you.
Wealth redistribution.

There's already plenty for everyone, it's just distributed in a way where the top class of people has cash to burn on bored apes, yachts and thousand dollar white tee shirts. The poor work for scraps.

We needed growth when no one had anything. That's not the world we live in today. Let's start recirculating that money instead of leaving it in people's treasure hoards.

Edit: I also want to say that growth will never lift all of the poor out of poverty. Poor is a relative term. If all prices target the median earner say, they will keep rising faster than the lowest incomes do and the poor will never catch up. We need a smaller spread of wealth to keep things affordable.
I agree that there's a particularly European tradition of non-total war where maybe you burn the crops and lay seige but let the peasants live because hopefully they'll eventually be your peasants, but the era was more than willing to utterly obliterate schismatics and heretics, and it's pretty obvious that various civilizations have fallen and been obliterated by conquerors of one sort or another throughout history, maybe not as a common norm, but not infrequently. Look at 1 Samuel 15:3 for example, not that I have a good sense of actual historicity of it.
WebRTC doesn't proscribe a signalling mechanism at all. SIP is sometimes used, Jingle (XMPP) sometimes, or sometimes it's just a custom protocol exchanging SDPs (or equivalent structures) over WebSockets or a REST API.

WebRTC itself is RTP (DTLS-SRTP), ICE (incl. STUN/TURN), codecs & related parameters, capture mechanisms, all bundled up into a Web API.
The guidelines[1] clearly call for optimism:

> Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

They also have other good debate practices:

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

I see a lot of doubt & criticality across this site. I continue to feel like skepticism & scorn is broadly, not here but everywhere, cheap & plentiful. There's a kind of mono-mindedness that's convenient, but to dare to enter into the possibility that someone might be right is the mark of a real seeker, a real Hacker. Hackers never get far by assuming their beliefs are right. Anyone whose worked with systems know: the only way to progress is to question everything, repeatedly, to drum up data & examples, again & again. Ask ask ask, explore explore explore.

Anyhow I think you're probably right that the lived experience is very much not as sunny as the guidelines requests; "behind every warning sign is a story"[2]. In this case uncountably many sad stories, of failure to honestly engage, dis-earnest barely masked popularity contents & self-justifications. And perhaps, as you say, not providing tools to keep the conversations going is a bit of a neutron-moderator for the ongoing chain reactions that might perhaps occur.

Even modern 0/0 seats (i.e. theoretically survivable for zero airspeed and zero altitude ejections) carry inherent risk. When I was in the military a friend of mine was killed ejecting in an emergency shortly after takeoff. You're sitting on a loaded and primed tube of explosives; there's no way to make that totally benign. Just a few days ago the Iranians lost two pilots when their ejector seats malfunctioned in a hangar and catapulted the occupants into the roof of the hangar.
One of the offices at my old employer had terrible power. They relied on UPS with line conditioners for their PCs.
Can something like that survive being well known?

Very true. Reminds me of a video by Luke Smith: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7lG4bont7g&t=7
Are you seriously suggesting Pythonista for python development? You can’t even ‘pip install’ with it!

This is not a setup for serious development.
In this age of rampant globalism, one really has to wonder who advocates for such things; remember that "competitor" doesn't just mean another company in the same country.
TBF there is a very slow moving pendulum. The manufacturers screwed the dealerships many decades ago, so the government passed laws to protect dealerships (see also: in some states you can't buy a Tesla at a Tesla showroom). The dealers in turn used those regulations as leverage against the manufacturers.

General speaking: in times of high-margins, manufacturers want to kill the dealerships to capture a larger slice of those margins. In times of low-margins (even negative net margins) the manufacturers want to force the dealerships to eat as much of the cost as possible.
Example of one, but once I heard about the 9+ month wait times for cars I wasn't even excited about, I just decided to keep my current car and fix the paint, detail the interior, etc. I can wait to buy a car, but not on a paid wait list.
Barely. After today's announcement, I believe the only Intel Macs remaining are the Mac Pro and (weirdly) one configuration of the Mac Mini.
I've been missing the number of great ideas that would come up during lunchtime chats and while hanging out in the office kitchen.

I'm a big proponent of remote work, but I haven't yet found a way to recreate those experiences over video chat.
I think that's too simplistic, which is why I used a vague term like 'scammer'.

Giving money to, say, a powerful criminal mob would be bad.

But giving money to someone who is simply dishonest or exaggerating when seeking donations from people looking to give locally? Not such a problem.

Moving money from people in the richest country to people in the poorest country is probably good, if that money gets spent (instead of hoarded) via normal economic activity -- paying people in a community in that poor country -- I'd say, regardless of the morals of the person through which it moved. Relatively small amounts of money can be turned into durable wealth in a poorer country; for instance, it can be the difference between a young family buying/building a house or not.
By this logic, we all have a 2.5 day weekend now. Which is probably true for many of us, at least from time to time.
> I fear that 3 day weekends every week (since we shouldn’t leave day care workers and teachers out of this) would be the end of me.

We could have different groups of people take off different third days. My preference would be to have Wednesdays off.
I’m increasingly convinced banking IT is one of the trades of software. There are glitzier gigs. But you’ll need connections or student debt to land them, and their net ROI won’t be as high ten years out.

On the other hand, your HN peers won’t look down on your cereal-bowl ad-targeting (granted, fabulously compensated) gig at Google.
Disaster preparedness is different from feeling threatened. Visiting Seoul rubs off differently than actually living there. For instance, seeing military men on the subway is nothing out of the ordinary to Koreans because military service is compulsory. To outsiders, it may evoke images of heightened threat or militarism. To insiders, it's "oh hey, it's some young men."

I am tempted to speculate that the average Japanese civilian is more worried about the threat of North Korea than the average Korean civilian.
> In future American OEMs may move to a more European model where vehicles are built to specific customer order. This takes on the order of two months at the moment for many legacy reasons, but there is no need for it to actually take this long.

You've been able to do this in the US forever; you just might have needed to pay closer to (or even at) sticker (now I'm sure it's higher than sticker).
Nothing you said here doesn't not apply to M1 which also overheat under high load and gets throttled, and some of them dont even have a fan.

https://medium.com/illumination/how-to-solve-overheating-iss....

A lot of these benchmarks run for several minutes and test the system as it OVERHEATs, simulating real conditions and Intel i12 beats M1/M2. So this doesnt change anything or bring any new information.
In this case, some people have industry knowledge and some trust is in order
I can't think of any use cases for this, could you share? You mean once you get the message and you open it, it gets read (and sender sees that status), but you'd like to mark it as unread again? Why?

Ja, I doubt anybody uses them outside US.

We are assured a house fire cannot make your neighborhood a superfund site. I hope they are right.
Perhaps, but it's hard to disentangle the contribution of remote work from the general state of the world on that burnout.
You don't have to do that. Many if not most automakers, both foreign and domestic, already accept custom orders through their dealers. You're not going to like the wait time, though.
There is very little actual information about the British plan in that article.
That's a really great point about multi-CDN architectures.

Partly because big parts of WebRTC are not standardized (session setup signaling, of course, but also in practice lots of necessary state management) it's a little bit hard to imagine how to build an equivalent for WebRTC.

Relatively recently, I would have said that our experience running large-scale WebRTC stuff in production made "core" infrastructure failure relatively low on our list of concerns. The two components of the last mile connection, on the other hand, are always a huge pain point because of the long tail of bad ISPs and bad Wifi setups.

However ... many of us who try to deliver always-available video services got something of a wakeup call in November and December last year when AWS had two pretty big outages two months in a row.
We all know that ignorance and inertia carry markets. That is not the topic.
Will this enable tensorflow in docker on apple silicon?

Mongolia sees Genghis Khan as a George Washington type figure, which I think is relatively fair. It's not like Italy does of a lot of introspection of the "bad" sides of its Roman heritage.

The Mongols were a mix of modern and violent and ruthless before he (Chinggis Khan) died that you don't really see elsewhere.
Ask HN: Can you recover from burnout without switching jobs?
I've been at my employer (unicorn startup) for several years now, and have worked myself to a staff+ role. I burned out pretty badly last year. I've been slowly coming back from that: a moderate workload, better separation between work and not-work hours, etc. I'm better now, but the enthusiasm/enjoyment I had before is totally gone, replaced with a knee-jerk cynicism/fatalism that I don't really like. All of my personal expectations for performance are also anchored at what I did at an unsustainable pace, which makes it hard to feel good about what I'm contributing now (I still get decent reviews even if I'm not a star performer anymore).

Separately, I feel like I'm in a rut. I've done more or less the same thing for a couple years now, and I've done all the growing I'm going to in that function. I'm aware of other opportunities within the org, but the lingering burnout/cynicism/fatalism make it hard to get excited about them.

My first reaction is to take a couple months as a breather, and get a fresh start at a new job; leaving baggage behind, hopefully not working myself to burnout again. Aside from burnout, I do really like my company, though – the people are fun, the product is interesting, the pay is good, etc. If I could confidently address the issues above without leaving, I would.

I'm curious if anyone has managed to turn around a situation like this without getting a new job. What did you do? If you switched projects/roles within the same company, was that enough of a reset? Did you end up staying for a while afterwards, or were you gone anyway in short order?
Either that, or people are just giving up on new design starts for the time being (waves hand in air).
I'm a T1 diabetic, so I've been through this. There's a simple way to buy insulin for 10x cheaper: Drive over the border. Any border will do. The extremely high prices are unique to the United States. Other countries have the same insulin brands, from the same companies, at literally 10x lower prices.

That should make the solution clear: Undo the laws that prevent retailers from driving over the border themselves. If US drug stores could import insulin from Europe, Canada, and Mexico, then it would be impossible to maintain such a large price difference, and the US price would come down.

That's still a lot more work than buying a board that has a supported OS...

But really, the onus should be on chip makers to work on standardizing chips more (eg targeting SystemReady on ARM), getting their chips supported in Linux, etc. It's a lot of work to support each slightly-different SoC and relying on the community means it's a slow process and usually results in some headline features (like built-in neural engines or GPUs) never gaining support in general Linux distros.

Or gaining that support like 3 years after a chip is released, meaning it's practically irrelevant at that point unless you just want to futz around with an older board for hobby purposes.

It's not meaningless, but it just rubs me the wrong way seeing how much blood sweat and tears the community puts into these things without much in the way of official help.
Python has pseudo interfaces via the typing module. Julia really has nothing resembling interfaces -- you just have to keep in your head all the methods that are expected to exist for a given type. The closest thing are abstract classes, which are used exclusively for dispatch, but you can only have a single superclass so they don't compose like interfaces do.
I think it is notable because he's an expert in that area and would know how to assess it. I'm not a fan of the tone either though...

But the authors claim "Hopular surpasses Gradient Boosting (e.g. XGBoost), Random Forests, and SVMs on tabular data." So if a simple sklearn model works better, it's worth knowing it might not be all it's cracked up to be before deciding to spend hours understanding another paper.
> My personal machine is the first and only new computer I ever bought: a 2012 Mac book air.

This is the single Apple computer that I have fully operational. Anything made under Tim Cook - MBPs, iMac - lasted for up to 4 years before either too expensive to fix hardware failures occurred or Apple artificially slowed down those devices by blocking the ability to install non-newest macOS which made those devices too slow to work efficiently. Every installer from High Sierra to Big Sur starts but in 100% cases shows random errors at the end and fails to finish. Monterey is so slow on the 2017 MBP that the cursor is jumpy even in the installer.
I bought a Kindle Fire tablet for my mother a few years ago. It had thousands of 5-star reviews. It turned out to be the biggest piece of junk I have ever used. There was one awful browser available. Everything took 10s of seconds to load. Awful, awful experience.
