Taiwan is critical to China on all levels.

1) politicians see unifying China as their life goal for historical reasons, from Republic of China to People's Republic of China, it is something colonizers do not understand. I don't understand why people paying a high price to buy some old artifacts stolen from China back, but apparently for something, it is about pride. I believe the government would fall if they declare no interests on Taiwan.

2) strategically, Taiwan's location is important, having a foreign power influenced island (especially the US), is a lock on Chinese Navy, that's why it is called the first islands chain. China has to go beyond to protect its trade and energy routes.

Given the fact that US is all about containing China now, there will have to be a lot power play in Asia now, which is to US's advantage, since US is far, and China will suffer more from the war (trade routes and so on). I don't know how this will play out.

You've hit upon a reliable way to turn that kind of comment into a good comment which is to imagine the grumpcomment getting downvoted, flagged, complained about or mod-scolded, writing a defense of the grumpcomment and then just posting that, instead of the original comment.

ESV or CSB, please...

How hard would it be to train it on the range of common modern translations? It would be an interesting stress test of the models to see how close searches in different translations are - they're theoretically all communicating the same thing, with different styles and emphasis, but I'd expect a lot of that to fall out in the semantic search (at least, if it were working properly).

You could grab a range of English translations ranging from "very literal" to "thought for thought" (The Message applies here, and I'm not even sure it's thought for thought), do various searches, and see what the overlap in results is.

In any case, very neat project... concept. :/ It appears to have fallen over, all I get is "Please wait..." when I try to access it. Even without my usual web filters interfering. I think.
Not really. Controlled opposition tends to veer into tin-foil hat stuff pretty quickly, but is nonetheless a normal tactic used by all sorts of entities. It essentially where some entity works to create (or appropriate) opposition to itself, while using that opposition -still ostensibly opposed to the entity- to further their own ends.

The most common example of this would be to poison-the-well. Make the opposition to something to something look crazy, and it can help to make it look like that something is only opposed by people who are a few screws short. I'll conclude with the final paragraphs of this article:

"The road to holding a union election in Campbellsville could be a long one. Already, [union organizer who had the cops called on him] Litrell said, members of his organizing committee have quit out of concern that Amazon will learn of their involvement and fire them. Workers in Campbellsville can’t afford to lose their Amazon jobs, Litrell said.

“There’s other factories and such, but you’d have to go outside of Campbellsville to find a decent-paying job. Campbellsville is dependent on Amazon — it’s like a company town,” he said. “The other jobs are fast food or a telemarketing company and some small factories that don’t pay worth a damn.”

“Amazon is the best employer in Campbellsville,” he said."
> Everything from a Bixby key you can't disable

Bixby is probably one of the worst things about Samsung devices. I would take Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa, Clippy from Windows XP, literally any virtual assistant over Bixby. I don't even have negative experiences using Bixby -- but Samsung's UX with Bixby is more irritating than any other virtual assistant I have ever come across -- and I hate all of them.

Well, even in this one example, imagine parser combinators which often mean backtracking the inner <p> so that you can commit to the `openTag('p')` parser. Or your logic may be 'consume all tags that aren't <p>` which is a lookahead.

A better example here is whether you are lenient and accept unescaped html entities like "<" vs "&lt;". If you require it to be escaped "&lt;" or if all entities in your inputs are always escaped, then your text parser never has to backtrack. But if you are lenient, your text parser can do catastrophic levels of backtracking if there is a single "<" somewhere (unless you are careful). Imagine input that starts off "<a small mouse once said". If could be quite a while before your parser knows it's not an anchor open tag.

Because transforming an .md file into an .html file is a lot more invasive (though taken for granted here I think) than just writing the .html file. It's a build step where there wasn't one before.

29 dead in 12 years is not bad at all. What's the issue here?
The consequences to the university of being labeled a white supremacist institution would be far greater than a few student deaths per year. Stanford’s reputation would never recover, if that label adhered. The university would shrink to nothing and vanish. Not one whiff of a hint of liability to being labeled racist in favor of white people can be tolerated. If that means a total ban on supporting outdoorsmanship, so be it. The university survives.

For that reason, fighting white supremacy is the keys to the kingdom for despot administrators, and the definition of white supremacy is undergoing an accelerating expansion that will soon extend past the edges of the universe.
I don't think so. How is US tech company's salary peanuts? You can work for sometime and happily retire, something you cannot do in the UK. It is a choice people can make.

The whole concept of Economy is slavery in a way, economy will grow if people work (or increase productivity), something we have to participate unfortunately. There is inflation making sure you will not have enough tomorrow. The only people are making out of the loop is people working in tech industry.

a) We need to stop using the word debt for central banks. Consumers in their daily lives learn that debt is bad. For central banks is the way they work. (And companies try to have always some form of debt for liquidity and reducing risk.)

b) go on with our lives. The ECB has other issues that it should be criticized about -- mainly it is unsurprisingly a political tool and not having the economic growth, wealth, and stability of the EU members as its priority.
Amazon accused the union of illegal intimidation of voters, why would you immediately trust one side in the matter?

Unions and corruption/illegal conduct, after all, go hand-in-hand. Consider the fact the RWDSU was caught illegally intimidating workers into signing up to them in order to extract fees, earning them a rebuke from the NLRB. [1]

So, if the retail unions targeting Amazon have such a history of illegal intimidation, and Amazon is alleging it's happening yet again, why shouldn't they be believed?

These unions have shown they'll intimidate and operate illegally to achieve their goals.

How does pinecone compare to pgvector?

https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector
Per language comparisons vary, but one undiscussed reason why C++ often has the most win is because it allows you to control memory layout for data structures. The ability to store objects in data structures as values (instead of with references to separately-allocated objects), pack structures to certain sizes, and align to cache are as important as optimizations from the compiler.

Thanks for the instruction table, hadn't seen that yet. That is indeed remarkably symmetrical! It does reinforce the "half of AVX-512" result - we sustain ipc=2 on Skylake (with 512-bit) and it looks like M1 would sustain 4 (x128 bit).

huh, that's surprising, that plot indeed looks like a core might be grabbing more than 'its share' of L2, though not all. The 'full random' curve starts creeping up after ~3MB as expected, so the situation seems to be even more complex than "use up to 8MB".

For completeness I'll also measure for 100M elements single core, though on M1 that wouldn't make a difference because as you say, a single core can drive a lot of memory bandwidth, enough that NEON becomes the bottleneck.

Just curious, what prevents you from incorporating a company (or even easier ,becoming a sole trader) in your country and then billing the company in another country for services rendered? Would it be the amount of paperwork involved or is there some other legal provision that makes this unrealistic?

TL;DR: Had radio invested in people instead of trying to turn everything into passive type income

, and

Had the stations not been bought and sold in an attempt to capture value today so many damn times

(This resulted in too lean of an operation with debt consuming too much, leaving no room for proper investment)

Radio would have built up a body of people well connected to society and those people could have woven the Internet right into all of that.

In hindsight, they did it almost as wrong as they possibly could have.
Nice to see that they are actually trying now, looks like only the last two flagship models covered (more or less? Galaxy S22, S22+, S22 Ultra, Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra, S21 FE). My unpatched experience is around the S10 line. It appears they just skipped to 20s for model #'s right after.
Ask HN: Does Jevons Paradox predict the failure of software sustainability?
Serious question. I’ve been reading a lot on how software developers can adopt more efficient methods and architectures in order to reduce energy usage: e.g. “green software engineering” etc. All other things being equal, a workload that uses less energy to perform the same job is a good thing. But companies don’t pass those savings to the environment. They reinvest into more projects, eventually consuming more resources.

Do economic concepts like Jevons Paradox and induced demand cover these efficient software scenarios as well, and does that mean that improved efficiency will make the situation worse in the long run? I really want the answer to be “no”. I’m not trying to debunk anything, just making sure there’s an answer for this I can share with others, especially my customers.
I charge my ~100 mile range EV about twice a week, so 1000 cycles would last me 10 years, and then I'd still have 93% of the original range - that 7% drop could be hidden by the battery management system so I wouldn't see any drop in range.

Agreed, I would also agree it is trapped but not for these reasons. They all want to control inflation, and are all considering or trying the same methods of doing so.

The EU and Eurozone's lack of "fiscal union" is unique, but not really that relevant. The Central Bank there is going to crater the credit market, just like the Central Bank in the US is going to do.

They are the biggest financial whales and they

1) stopped buying

2) now have trillions to sell, and are going to sell at a massive scale that's unheard of, to whom? good question, can the market absorb this much? At what price if the market literally isn't big enough for this amount of selling pressure? and its still too small of a scale for what they are actually trying to do

3) are going to let some bonds mature, and not let the paid back money get into circulation again, so there is just less of it for everyone else

(note: sometimes they say they are only going to do 3) and not 2), very confusing)

It doesn't matter that the EU one has a bunch of member-state debt, while the US Central Bank largely ignores municipal bonds and while having a bunch of national govt bonds (treasuries) on its balance sheet. They both hold corporate bonds now, and mortgage backed securities. Neither own stocks (although the US one bought some bond ETFs, which are stocks of funds that only own some bonds).

They both stopped buying, are letting things mature, and also directly selling.

Its going to be bad for everyone partially because its only an attempt to control inflation. Case in point being that energy costs will remain high either way. They're aiming to destroy optimism and re-range asset prices, where the yield of those assets are a higher ratio to their price. (aka stock prices more closely matching their profit or revenue growth or dividend payouts, bonds yielding higher)
The thing you are getting at Stanford, or any place like it, is immersion in the campus community. If you want to view it as a transaction where you pay for access to lectures and someone to grade your work, then yes, a lot of things about it are going to seem dumb. Community colleges and commuter branches of state university systems serve those needs better.

That would be a silly way to approach it. You would be paying $40k+ per month in just demand charges some places. A much better idea is to have battery packs you can charge at constant slower rates and feed the charging station at higher burst rates. Tesla and Electrify America already do this.

Gasoline is incredibly energy dense, as you point out, it’s very unlikely that batteries will approach it anytime soon.

Fortunately/unfortunately, so much of that energy in ICE cars is wasted as heat, so the effective gap to make EVs competitive is much smaller.
On the other extreme end of the scale, consider a young person with lots of potential entering university, who then decides to rebel by trying increasingly harder drugs, and ends up with drugs tainted with fentanyl and dies of an overdose. Similar situations have happened before, such as this report of a physics senior dying of fentanyl [1].

Consider young people who try black hat hacking as a prank or for illicit means, and getting a criminal record (source of this happening in Canada [2]. Students also cheat on their courses, get caught, and get expelled. Others make TikTok videos on train tracks, touch the electrified rail, and end up hospitalized or dead.

This is the extreme end of the scale, but these cases and personal experience have led me to believe that it's typically far better to follow the law while questioning conventions. I admit there are cases (e.g. Uber) where people and companies succeeded by breaking the law, but I figure the risks are pretty high, and there is still plenty of opportunity to innovate while respecting the law in one's personal and professional life.

> What kind of impact does dumping all that sand have? What about running the bulldozer over the Stanford campus? What if someone is injured by the bulldozer? I wouldn't trust teenagers renting an after-party bulldozer who never cleared that with anyone, never notified anyone, and have no proof of training.

That's exactly the attitude that causes this problem - there's always a reason to say no. These are supposed to be adults, they (presumably) legally rented the bulldozer, they got the consent of the groundskeeper.

There's no possible fun so innocuous that you can't come up with one more bureaucratic requirement to slap on it if you really try. Thought experiment: if it turned out the bulldozer driver did in fact have some kind of training/license, would that change your mind? Or would you just look for another reason to say this was bad?

As highschool student in 80's Portugal, 10 years after 40 years dictatorship and colonial war were behind us, when software was sold as bootleg copies on bazaars, I saved enough money to eventually buy Turbo Pascal for students at 30 000 escudos.

As I wanted the real deal and not a bunch of no name floppies with copied manuals.

That would be around 150 euros, without taking into account the inflation to modern days.

And to place the price in perspective, it was a third of the minimum wage, while the overall cost of my PC took 5 years for my parents to pay back to the bank.
Well, given that an ICE is ~30% efficient compared to an electric motor at ~95%, comparable charge rates would be 2MW. Still a mind boggling number.
