To those like me wondering what ISA it is, the official documentation says:

Runs binaries for x86, Arm, and RISC-V in addition to native ISA

I am quite a bit skeptical. OTOH, if it were aarch64 compatible with 1024 bit SVE support, it could have a nice potential.
You can make it easily extendable for division by 7.
Yes I've seen very little about lead acid batteries for solar storage. Considering that home installments are almost never weight constrains and often size is not a big issue either, they seem like a perfect solution. I wonder if there is some important bit of information missing that makes them unsuitable?
> I would not be surprised to see equities doing worse than -10%.

I wouldn’t be surprised by that either, but it’s the wrong question. As long as the expected value of the future price (in today’s USDs) is higher than -10% I’m interested in buying (but the actual decision is a bit more complicated).

But I agree cash is not necessarily a bad idea.
Not sure about others, but Filecoin uses cryptographic storage proofs to verify that data is stored correctly.

Otherwise I'd agree with you, if there is no guarantee that data is stored correctly, there is no point, might as well use S3.
Ah, I understand that it had a free tier. Now I get it. You can’t beat free :P
Does the dupe detector work on title text, or URLS? I posted the same article last night: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31719519 The URL is the same, but I shortened the text differently (the article's title was too long for the submission form).
This, precisely. That said, I think we're far too forgiving of companies that do bad stuff and far too unforgiving of people. Companies have huge PR (propaganda) teams. Individuals don't, especially not individuals who've been dragged through the mud.
> it ships only the JS for select components

So, even if the page has a single React component, does it ship the entire react + react-dom bundle?
Sure but using numpy is not really Python anymore - at that point you'd be comparing to C, not Python.

Anyway I think the benchmark is underwhelming for a different reason - Python is extremely slow so beating it surely isn't that Impressive?

I guess on the other hand... one guy has made a faster language than one made by an entire army of Python developers.
The thing that frustrates me the most about crypto is that we tried to replace the traditional financial system of fractional reserve, predatory lending, excessive leverage and we recreated the entire thing again. I just assume this is a natural tendency for human beings at this point.
I mean scammers can be called companies, but they are still scammers, but I think courts are the ones to contact in order to fight back scammers, no? Like if they are using your company name without permission, isn't it a violation in the first place? I'm sure things can change if enough people sue them?
I bet it is some old stuff re-branded. Common theme in IT.
> If you need to borrow $750K AUD (the median mortgage in Australia) to purchase a property, then something is terribly wrong with the market and you probably shouldn't be doing that.

Why? Why does borrowing money for a home indicate something is terribly wrong? Homes are inherently extremely valuable assets that take a lot of time, effort, and capital to construct. Home prices may be inflated now, but their cost being so high that you must borrow to afford one is nothing new and not at all unhealthy.
Here schools are not part of cities or counties.

When I imagine what a 25 mile dangerous bike ride looks like here, it's living 25 miles out in a place where the US highway is the only route to town. But there's a high school out there, so it wouldn't be 25 miles.

Obviously other situations will exist, but living 20 miles from the school you attend is a corner case and will often be driven by choices the parents are making.
Where there's a pattern there's a strategy.

That seems like it's a good thing, worth a couple of minutes to think about.

If the value of assets of a bank drops under certain limits [1], regulators can and will take action. To be clear, every single bank that is currently alive (and regulated by relevant western authorities) has assets way more than what the deposits are worth. They may not be liquid assets, but they are there.

In all honesty Tether crashing would probably be the best thing to happen.
This has a high "Jesse, What the Fuck Are You Talking About" energy. The reason Terra fell is because most of the transactions that were supposed to assure its value were kept in a secret double accounting system. And that brought BTC down ~50% which shouldn't happen if it's not held up by magical behind the scenes accounting. There's no 3rd party integrity here and it's not been appreciating for weeks now.

It's like saying "living a healthy lifestyle doesn't stop cancer because my friend lived very healthily and died of cancer at 40" when less than 1% of people survive past 40, many of those that do inherited immunity to cancer and most of the rest had some sort of identifiable genetic advantage
Big-company CEOs (and venture-funded startup CEOs are mostly big-corp wannabes) rarely produce good ideas. They're champion shifters of blame and takers of credit. When the company hits a rough patch, their first instinct is to fire people, because it looks like they're fixing the problem when in fact they're usually keeping the same level of operational complexity, but short-staffing, which makes things worse in the long run.

Ask HN: How would you handle pedantic code reviews?
I'm in a SW team where I find myself spending time and energy in dealing with pedantic no-value commends in my PRs. Most of them coming from a certain colleague who is clearly insecure and not as competent as the rest of the team. So she is trying to hide that under various forms of busytalking and commends like the above.

The triviality and non-value of her commends is not disputable as I am not the only person that sees that and despite the "rigor" she misses obvious bugs (I left some in in the latest PR just to make sure).

So all in all she's a no-value PITA. Despite that I've been kind and condescending so far but it's starting getting on my nerves as I have more urgent things to do than pacify or comply with such commends (e.g. BusVehicle should be named CoachAutomobile).

How do you deal with similar cases? What do you suggest?
Safety as a concept evolves, I would say Haskell-like is a good target to aim at today, for a safe language.

For Java to become a safer language it would need a better type system, and then to make backward-incompatible changes to standard libraries. Therefore, unlikely to ever happen.
100% agree with the sentiment here. Have seen Trustpilot’s tactics first hand and would liken their business model to a modern day protection racket.

I don’t think this is an inherent flaw in the idea of providing trustworthy third party reviews. I think the flaw is in the specific way that Trustpilot as a business operates. (Ie. Badly)

Airplanes are faster than trains.
The Youtube version of this video was released a while ago. The video fails to answer the more meaningful version of the "why": The "why does it have to".

There is no limit to how expensive you can make a chess set (Fill it with diamonds, pay the Queen to piss on it, use wood smoked on burned dollar bills).

But why does a championship chess set need to be produced expensively?

That was the question I was hoping for, when I watched this video a long time ago, and now I dislike all the videos from this series when the appear on my recommendation feed on YT.

You can always make an expensive version of something. It is interesting to know _why_ something has to be expensive.
Electric tricycles are safer for elderly people than even walking. They're far safer than having them drive a car.
> Less car trips. The current price of gas is already pushing people to take their car less and prioritize cheaper modes of transportation.

Cheaper?. 100 miles on the train is more expensive [in the UK] than the fuel for the same trip. And that's before I put 4 people in the sodding car. Not to mention, my standard drive is barely serviced by public transport (requiring three changes and a significant detour). You can even amortise my car costs and I'm still way ahead in time, costs and convenience.

NB. I'd really like the railways and buses nationalised and heavily subsidised to support fixed costs based solely on bucketed crow flies distance, log scaled etc. But whilst they are the way they are - no way will I give up a car.
Nice to see another implementation which takes a bit different approach. Just for your information, there's now Draft 03 which changes the format a little bit. I kinda liked the arbitrary precision of Draft 02, but the newer one just requires millisecond precision and then basically leaves it up to the implementation how to handle the generation of multiple UUIDs within the same millisecond.

Well I was thinking that "cargo install foo" can already install cargo-buidl in your path by innocent means i.e. no Rust build script.

But with build scripts (build.rs) any crate indeed has arbitrary code execution at build time, so they can't be trusted, like you imply.

However, sandboxing might be coming for build scripts, and when that's done, the typo attack is still there (package "foo" installing cargo-buidl).
I chuckle a little when I see things like that. Time to sell was about a year ago at their heights. At this point, you may as well hold and see what happens.

Crypto really is just a giant experiment in re-learning all of the lessons we’ve already learned the hard way.
Tether skeptic here. This is not a depeg. Most likely this is just because of the current sell-off of crypto currencies - there are a lot more sellers than buyers out there right now.

Right now, when you can buy a tether at $0.997 and (in theory) sell it back to tether at $1, there's not much scope for profits after costs. So there's not going to be a lot of money pushing the price back up. IOW it's kind of 'expected' that a stablecoin might drift tiny amounts away from its theoretical peg. It's just not worth it. (n.b. even Tether themselves charge a 0.1% fee to redeem their coins)

If/when tether drops below (say) $0.99, and there's no influx of money trying to support it, that's when USDT is in trouble.
You seem to be misunderstanding me. I'm not saying it is prohibited by the laws of the universe for a computer to have sentience. I'm saying there is no good reason to believe that our current computers, no matter how many instructions per second they are able to execute or how sophisticated the programs they run are, are sentient. Saying "why can't a computer do x" is not an argument that a computer does currently do x.

But no, consciousness is not just "acting on an internal state". A toaster acts on an internal state. It is a complex phenomenon in which an internal state, and the environment interact to create an internal state and a subjective experience of that state which is felt by the organism.

This will go down a rabbit hole, and I don't want to engage in a discussion about what consciousness and feelings are, but there is not reason to believe that computers have feelings. And the output of computer language models is not good evidence that they have feelings, particularly those which are trained on the language models of creatures which have feelings (humans). If they were trained on the language of birds, we wouldn't say there's evidence they are afraid of dogs, even if they were to engage in loud chirping when presented with a dog.
It also provides a great way to pay ransoms, which allowed crypto locker ransomware to be monetized and scaled up to a new and exciting level.

I hate crypto.
Leverage, tranching and other derivatives are how you dial up risk for a potentially higher reward. Neither have anything intrinsically to do with whether you're using fiat currency or cryptocurrency.

It was always naive to think that finance wouldnt just absord crypto as yet another asset class.

Your client usually dictates the business model to a degree.

At this point, TrustPilots business model is essentially reputation laundering.

If you pay them enough, they will use their mostly neutral reputation on the consumer side to launder your potentially shitty reputation to a more positive one.
It's not like the average consumer knows any better and I would not be that surprised that having a positive score on TrustPilot is not the decision maker for a customer, but having a very bad one - is a disqualifying factor. Hence the reputation laundering scheme...
The term is mostly used for speakers with a built-in assistant (Google Assistant, Alexa, etc.), where the assistant is one of the main reasons for wanting a smart speaker.

It's great for things like setting alarms, kitchen timers (don't have to touch anything with your hands, just talk), checking the weather, and controlling the other smart devices like lights, with just your voice.
Do you cache results from this (especially the random samples provided)? It seems to be regenerating those, which might be expensive if lots of people are using the same prompts

To be fair, I do think that education and the trappings of expertise are overvalued, and that the same probably applies to general intelligence. These things certainly don't prevent people from arriving at wrong answers.

I'm not saying that the average cult member--and here I'm talking about actual cults, in the sense of being abusive and coercive and separatist, not NRMs in general--has good critical thinking skills. Obviously, there's something wrong there. I'm only saying that, from everything I've read, the typical member is above average on the IQ scale.

Trust me, there are plenty of high-IQ people who believe in absolute nonsense. It's not even rare.
> A higher interest rate, i.e. inflation, lowers the value of those future earnings.

Not necessarily. A company with pricing power can raise prices in an inflationary environment.

But if the risk free interest rate goes up then it will be tempting to park money there instead of course. That requires the Fed really stamping out inflation though, which I’m not sure they will do.

The processor pipeline has its out of order execution handled by the compiler, not by hardware, so there is some debate about whether this is an in order or out of order processor. Danilak says that instruction parallelism in the Prodigy chip is extracted using poison bits, which was popular with the Itanium chip which this core resembles in some ways and which are also used in Nvidia GPUs. The Prodigy instruction set as 32 integer registers at 64-bits and 32 vector registers that can be 256 bits or 512 bits wide, plus seven vector mask registers. The explicit parallelism (again, echoes of Itanium) is extracted by the compiler and instructions are bundled up in sizes of 3, 8, 12, or 16 bytes.

I'm saying that if you don't know a person's pronouns at all and you're not sure if they/them sounds right, you largely can avoid it altogether. And I don't mean by just repeating their name over and over (which I agree sounds weird), so if we take the original comment:

> Feel like it would be easier if he rewrote it from scratch and then copied the business logic

then using their name is totally pronoun agnostic as discussed:

> Feel like it would be easier if foone rewrote it from scratch and then copied the business logic

but you can also not use name, pronoun or anything:

> Feel like it would be easier to rewrite the app from scratch and then copy the business logic

or:

> Feel like it would be easier if the app was rewritten from scratch, and then the business logic could be copied

English is really flexible, and to be honest I think these look quite natural and don't sound like I'm nervously trying to avoid offending anyone.

I am confused as how this is a story about crypto and not story about Celsius. If Robinhood stopped withdrawals, would we be having a conversation about solvency about of US government? It is interesting, but it shows that crypto has an oddly rabid opponent base.

Just to put it in perspective, everything is falling today.

For the record, I don't disagree with some of the criticisms, but the knee-jerk reaction to anything crypto is just odd.

minor edit: I have minor stake in crypto, but nothing that would make me retire/commit suicide over losses.

Our definitions of "tried" and "crazy" clearly differ.

>They killed it before it got to consumer

By that definition, I "tried" building a spaceship yesterday. I just killed it before it got to the launch. Crazy, huh?

>Maybe there's just not as much blue ocean for crazy things in tech to succeed like there used to

Or maybe a company abandoned by its founders that ditched its "Don't Be Evil" motto for something incomprehensible ("Respect the opportunity", pardon me? Should I also "Be nice to profits" and "Revere stock value"?) isn't the shining paragon of innovation it used to be.

There is plenty of space for crazy things, more than ever before. And both Alphabet and Meta are doing crazy things. Just not as a part of their main businesses (Google/Facebook, respectively).

As far as actions go, I still think gitlab has a better CI/CD story.
> I think you've got it backwards. The arb would be people buying it at $0.97 and hoping it repegs to $1, not redeeming

That's not an arb, that's just buying low and selling high at a later date. The arb is buying something for $0.97 but then getting $1 back, minus fees. The more people doing that the closer the peg stays to $1 through supply/demand. That's the whole basis of how a peg is maintained, arbitrage players provide huge amounts of liquidity and make small margins for doing so.
I think the hard problem is primarily why we have consciousness, and why it evolved versus us just being automatons controlled by our brains, more so than the physical mechanism by which it is implemented, though I sometimes see it presented as both.

Thankfully we don't need to solve the hard problem to say that computers don't have it. But I don't see why consciousness is "by definition something incapable of expression through ordinary physical relations". What definitionally makes consciousness prohibited by the physical world?

We don’t rely on GH for our production systems. We have a clone of our Git repo hosted in-house for anything that needs a Git repo.

We don’t rely on GH for our Primary CI/CD. We can make changes and push them through CI/CD without GH.

We have an understanding of the business impact of GH being down. It’s an enabler that we love using, but we can operate without it for a known period of time, albeit without certain workflows and value added tools.

If our tolerance for it being down we’re much greater, then it would be worth the money and overhead to host it on our own, which they support.

Agreed, "normies" is a fine shorthand for "people who are not concerned with the niche thing we're currently talking about", but seeing people who think of it as an actual category that they judge people by is a dangerous mental model that a lot of people on here seem to fall victim to.
The simple answer is "you don't," because a couple hours downtime on your CI/CD platform shouldn't matter. You should be able to deploy by hand in an emergency.

The less simple answer is "by doing Disaster Recovery planning". Go outside and throw a rock and you'll hit a company doing hosted CI/CD. Set up two of them; when one fails, use the other.

GitHub could mitigate this by making its services region and AZ specific, and then only one region should go down at a time, letting you switch regions. Not sure why this hasn't happened, other than GHA is more of a "consumer product" and they may assume customers are too dumb to figure out how to switch regions. (This may sound harsh, but this is the same company that wouldn't update documentation about how to generate ssh keys to make them more secure because it might confuse their users)
