On a 3GHz CPU, one clock cycle is enough time for light to travel only 10cm.

If you hold up a sign with, say, a multiplication, a CPU will produce the result before light reaches a person a few metres away.

Short, 10-page bills, don't exist because Legalese needs to exist because otherwise people find every loophole in any perceived ambiguity in the wording.

Like, imagine a mom seeing her kid jumping on the bed, and the kid says "I'm not jumping, I'm hopping. The difference is ..." and so the parent tells them to stop hopping and leaves. They come back later and the kid is sitting down, but bouncing up and down.

Eventually, the parent says something like "You may not jump, leap, spring, bounce, hop, dance, or otherwise engage in an oscillating vertical motion using the mattress of the bed as leverage or propellant."

Bam. That's legalese, and is the reason laws are 1,000 pages long. Except in this case, the parent has left open the loophole of allowing the kid to jump from their dresser onto the bed.

Well, I think this is what they call a semantic argument.

All of us want the right "resolution" of management. Some people might say the right level of micromanagement (in your example, the goldilocks micromanagement). You may say anything that is "too detailed" is "micromanagement" by definition.

I am not saying you are wrong, but I am saying that as long as we agree on the underlying reality, I don't much care what you call it.
We have been using async python for GPU pydata , including fronting dask/dask_cuda for sharing and bigger-than-memory scenarios, so a lot rings true.

For model serving, we were thinking Triton (native vs python server) as it is a tightly scoped problem and optimized: any perf comparison there?
NIM

NIM should be part of the conversation.

Typically, people trade slower compute time for faster development time.

With NIM, you don’t need to make that trade-off. It allows you to develop in a high-level but get C like performance.

I’m surprise its not more widely used.

It works on Python38 with

I took up cycling and that worked for me. Interestingly, i didn't do it because of burnout, I started because my kid needed to keep an exercise log for her PE class during the pandemic, so I went with her, discovered that I enjoyed it, started going on longer rides, and only in retrospect realized that it was really good for my mental health.

> types other than int

Floating point values are also supported.

> for example strings and what not without the hacks of passing string lengths and addresses?

That's not so much a "hack" per se, so much as it is fundamentally how string types are represented when broken down into their basic components. ARM, x64, etc. interact with strings in similar ways. Tools like wasm-bindgen[1] generate JS wrappers around the raw WASM calls, which wrap the address+length APIs in string accepting ones. For non-JS hosts, you might have to roll your own boilerplate or boilerplate generators, but that's straightforward.

> sharing of data. That is can I declare a struct of some sort in the main program, pass that to the webassembly script, operate on it, and return it? Last I looked at that the only thing I could come up with was passing it back and forth as a (pick your format here) json string.

Multiple WASM instances can share a single memory instance without copying data. A non-wasm host will typically copy/serialize data into/out-of WASM memory for simplicitly/convenience/durability, but there are APIs[2][3] that let you directly manipulate WASM memory - and there's nothing stopping you from generating identical structures on both ends and directly using them without copying.

There is a balance, like sure there is inefficient code but often its because that code is accessing an I/O resource inefficiently, and so the CPU and RAM speed of the host machine isnt the bottlebeck no matter what dumb things the programmer does

So you dont need to pretty much ever reinvent or even use a hackerrank algorithm, you need to understand that the database compute instance has a fast cpu and lots of RAM too
The Lindy effect is horseshit. Things that are good tend to be old because of infant death.

There are plenty of old tools in consistent/present use that are cumbersome wrecks, too. Curating good things and calling them some buzzword is silly.
I am sure that is an honest mistake, it is just confusing to the reader.
I upgraded a desktop machine the last time I visited my family. It was a Windows 7 computer that was at least 10 years old with 4GB of ram. They wanted to use it online for basic web browsing, so I thought I'd install Windows 10 for security reasons and drop in a modern SSD to upgrade the old 7200rpm drive to make it more snappy.

Well, it felt slower after the "upgrade". Clicking the start menu and opening something like the Downloads or Documents folder was basically instant before. Now, with Windows 10 and the new SSD there was a noticeable delay when opening and browsing folders.

It really made me wonder how it would be running something like Windows 98 and websites of the past on modern hardware.
Get beyond a certain size of python program and you lose dev time.

IOW you lose both. It's not a huge size either.
My strategy is to keep the software for a desktop computer stable and of it's era forever. If it gets so old that I'm having trouble compiling things because my glib and gcc are so old then I'll build an entirely new desktop with up to date OS and software. Then set it up and use it till it can't do new software again. This happens every 5 to 10 years. I never lose ability. I only gain it.

There are many things my 2010 era Core2Duo running Ubuntu 10.04 can do that my fancy new Ryzen desktop with Debian 11 can't and won't ever be able to do. Things I cannot give up because they're too important for my daily life.

So what? It's a useful reminder that the "best technical solution" isn't always "the best solution for me/right now/here/this need that I have".

It's also useful to remember that git started out dumb and is still dumb in its own ways, because that gives us room to grow, things to aspire to, and areas to continue to research, better "technical" tools to keep an eye on.

Git was named dumb especially with respect to darcs, and from that perspective git will always be dumb: you call git's internals "right", but "right" has multiple meanings. Yes, they are well suited to the job. But the darcs perspective here is that they aren't the most "technically right". Darcs internals use primitives that much more closer resemble OTs/CRDTs. There's a lot of HN love for the technical beauty of tools like CRDTs. Darcs made the case from its beginning that source control and the mental model of source control is much closer to things like CRDTs (keeping in mind darcs predated/coincided much CRDT development) than it is to "trees of trees of files" like it is in git internals. Darcs is closer to the "right" tech internally, especially where its primitives do model programmer behavior better.

It's useful to still have darcs to compare to for what a "smarter git" could look like, even/especially at the internal primitives level. It's useful that projects like pijul are still exploring those ideas even despite "git has won" and "worse is better".

At this point like most everyone, I use git because it is incredibly pragmatic. I appreciate knowing that git isn't perfect, isn't "technically smart", and that there are cases to continue learning how we do the beautiful technically smart stuff in a way that is also or at least nearly as pragmatic.
Phone home. I suspect much of the lag is network latency.
Even though emulators were a thing and we had seen copying devices for the most obscure consoles come out of China bleem was something else. Such a mad idea and they actually made a business case out of it.
Simply locking up Springboard with a DoS doesn't necessarily mean your were breached on the device. It's more likely that nothing came of it, exfiltrating data would involve breaching a lot of sandboxing and we'd be seeing a lot more chatter about that honestly.
> I think a lot of people just accept the performance they get as normal even if they are doing things that take 1000x (or worse) the time and/or space than it could (even without heroic work).

Habit is a very powerful force.

Performance is somewhat abstract, as in "just throw more CPUs at it" / it works for me (on my top of the line PC). But people will happily keep on using unergonomic tools just because they've always done so.

I work for a shop that's mainly Windows (but I'm a Linux guy). I won't even get into how annoying the OS is and how unnecessary, since we're mostly using web apps through Chrome. But pretty much all my colleagues have no issue with using VNC for remote administration of computers.

It's so painful, it hurts to see them do it. And for some reason, they absolutely refuse to use RDP (I'm talking about local connections, over a controlled network). And they don't particularly need to see what the user in front of the computer is seeing, they just need to see that some random app starts or something.

I won't even get into Windows Remote Management and controlling those systems from the comfort of their local terminal with 0 lag.

But for some reason, "we've always done it this way" is stronger than the inconvenience through which they have to suffer every day.
No, I think it is fair to call out mediocrity, even when it tries to pull the "disclaim exactly the set of specific applications it gets called out on" trick.

Sure, pandas often beats raw python by a bit, but come on, there's so much mediocrity between the two that I doubt they even had to cheat to find a situation the other way around.
My bad, sorry. Thanks for the pointer!

Tell HN: The Tech news section of CNN's website still references Google Plus
I started using a desktop RSS aggregator again recently and have been slowing adding to my OPML list (based in part on posts to HN). Seeing a CNN Tech story posted I went to CNN's website, clicked on the "Tech" section, and opened source view where I saw this anachronism:

<link rel="publisher" href="https://plus.google.com/+cnn/posts" />

I am sure they are not alone in this regard but I find it funny that CNN's web team hasn't removed this code after all these years.
For some reason, your opening line prompted me to start singing the pokemon theme in my mind xD
FastAPI is collapsing under the weight of its github issues (1,100) and pull requests (483).

Network patch panels with nicely bundled wires might work; switches often have numerous blinky lights.

You could dig up some antique gear and make it run: tape loader robots or even 9 track tapes with reels. It's been a long time since they did flashy innards on display stuff like that so its in the uncomfortable range between "scrap" and "industrial antiques" now.

Or just admit it's all for show and commission an artist to make something cool. We have better blinky lights technology than ever before with addressable RGB LED strips and panels and many examples of their use.

You can tell the bosses that putting real production servers on display would be a security issue. say "Tempest" and nod knowingly. As long as you dont smirk they'll usually go along.

The wait until tomorrow advice works well when learning a musical instrument too (at least in the beginning).

Sure, there definitely has to be some context there. Where I live we don't have subways :). Smallish city, rats are rare, especially in the residential neighborhoods.
Growing housing costs are due to a housing shortage. The housing shortage is the fault of NIMBYs, but is not the fault of landlord greed. Blaming high prices on greed does not make sense because Landlords were just as greedy 30 years ago when the prices were low.

The solution is to relax zoning restrictions and give local communities less say in how the land around them is used.
I think you're trying too hard.

Something that you do a lot? Fine, write it in C/C++/Rust.

It's something that costs thousands/millions of dollars of compute? Ok, maybe it's worth it for you to spend a month on, put your robe on, and start chanting in latin.
That feels like a bug worth independently filing. I'm not sure what I expected the behavior of a private tab to be, when "backgrounded" in favor of a normal one, but it's not that.
The auto-completion alone is worth it IMO. I've been using fish for 6 or 7 years now, and having it hint ahead some obscure command that I only use once a month saves me so much time reading MAN/searching online.

Pair that with tldr and it's a really good experience.
Worse CO2 emissions. You think optimizations are energy free?
I just simply don't trust Wasmer the company. The trademarking and bytecode alliance drama coupled with the over-the-top marketing splash pages and reaching claims ("THE" universal runtime) and attemps to sockpuppet discussions on hn and reddit along with bizarre pr stunts.

The product may be good, but the company stinks.
Just to be sure, you did compile the Rust program using the --release flag?
This has been discussed to death here and elsewhere. It isn't like wasmer doesn't have credible competition from companies well-funded than them, way bigger in size.

I'd wish folks focused on the incredible amount of engineering that has gone into wasmer. The breadth of its offering is astonishing for a team of its size. Sad that the engineering team couldn't be together for longer, but the runtime is impressive nevertheless.

I look at wasmer's various OSS repos from time to time to understand how it was put together. It has been very rewarding to say the least.

(yes, I am also aware of the fallout between Syrus, the founder, and a few ex wasmer engs, but let's also focus on the good parts too, folks!)
The fact that anyone still thinks American consumers are analogous to Chinese consumers is surprising to me. An American version of WeChat, although it sounds cool (maybe?) at a very high level, is incredibly unlikely to happen. Spending so much time on Twitter must have warped his perception on this one.

I feel like this article lacks the sincerity of the problem. Is this really as big of a problem as the blog mentions to the point of building an app around?

This is not easy, because air mostly cycling in cyclones/anticyclones.
And storm front is like giant horizontal tornado.

Exists locations in space-time, where air moving very steady, so could say, it move from some point, or locations with very little exchange with surround, but need additional research and large scale modelling to map such locations (may be, gather many-years data would be enough), but for others air is usually mixed.

For example, Mexico City is located in the Valley of Mexico, so surrounded by mountains, and it have little air exchange with surround.

Hardly at all.

That's fair. Not all hybrids are created equally. With larger vehicles, the larger gas motor is almost essential, tbh, as otherwise the total power output will sometimes be limited by the maximum output of the gasoline motor.

What would you consider to be a good interview question?
Sure, but there's not enough time to be an expert at everything. Let's say I want to better understand how worried I should be about the US economy.

I could study economics textbooks, take online courses, and get a part-time degree in economics over hundreds of hours, read economics papers from journals and the NBER (and equivalent institutions), develop a reputation and a network of experts, and then develop my own analysis and debate with these experts.

Alternatively, I could accept that I'm a non-expert for this particular domain, read some in-depth analyses in the Financial Times (a better source than Reddit), realize I should be cautious and save more, and move on with my life.

If the subject is more important, e.g. I want to work on a months-long project that requires an understanding of a specific economic concept, it would be useful to search for reputable books related to that topic and then study them.
Just so everyone's aware 'college degree' here is expansive including two-year (community/vocational/technical/etc) colleges. I know many people who went to Ridgewater College (a college locally known having low standards and keeping the high school party going) specifically for a degree 'law enforcement'. Highlights include supervised taser use on each other (which probably aids in a mentality of assuming they know how the experience translates to others and underestimating risk)

ETA: per the link, the degree requirement isn't applicable to those with prior experience and having been working in police sometime in the prior six years
You can love open source and still have proprietary code. It's not mutually exclusive.
What an extremely unfair comment. Having read QuestDBs blog, it’s quite clear they’ve taken great pains to point out that a single specific benchmark isn’t the be all and end all of DB analysis.

They quite clearly start out by saying they’re only looking to demonstrate the impact of a specific new DB feature they’ve created, and are using benchmarks that illustrate the difference. They make zero claims that QuestDB is faster than Clickhouse overall, and quite carefully point out that prospective users need to run their own benchmarks on their own data to figure out what DB will work for them.
If you can't give a haircut then you can't give a safe haircut.

Specific example: most people expect a basic haircut for a man to trim around the ears. If I never trim around the ears then maybe I'm being safe, but you can't say I give a safe haircut because I'm not even giving a haircut as most people expect it. In particular I'm avoiding one of the most dangerous parts. You need to watch me trim around the ears in a minimally correct way to make sure I know how to do it safely.
