Sorry, it is obviously possible to add hardware support for the 80bit ieee754 format (the format itself is not great, and in reality the precision isn’t necessary in all but the most extreme cases, and those where it is are likely to prefer 128bit float), but it isn’t something that is going to happen in the real world, and even if it was we’re talking about software for generally available systems.**

You could also emulate it by arbitrarily dropping precision, but as a translator that means breaking bincompat, and more importantly breaking programs the use 80bit format (a lot of fortran).

Obviously many games (especially old ones) perform fine as they’re only using 80bit because at the time x87 was the only hardware fp available on x86 hardware, not because they needed that perf.

Even lowering the precision of the x87 unit isn’t sufficient as that only reduces the precision of the mantissa not the exponent.

Even outside of the core arithmetic (excluding negation which is really easy in all ieee754 formats) there is a whole bunch of state that you need to keep track of to ensure identical behavior.

Obviously if you are willing to break precision guarantees, etc then breaking state isn’t a problem, but if you’re trying to be something like Rosetta - eg completely general and running anything - you don’t really have the freedom to do that.

** sorry skim reading I missed your 128bit and x87 perf questions. Yes an emulator can (should?) use hw 128bit for the arithmetic if it’s available but on vast majority of hardware it isn’t.

You are also right about x87 perf being slow compared to everything else, but it’s still faster than anything you can do in software (addition especially does not work interact nicely) due to the GRS tracking a software impl needs to do through many bitewise operations.
Do things with a Goal in mind. This always helps me stay sane and focussed on things that matter to me. If something is not my goal, I don't bother. I don't compare with others even though we all have that tendency being human.

Whenever I have done things with a goal, I have succeeded. Whenever I go wandering around without any goals, I have no idea where I am going or what I am doing. I don't usually go with the flow. I like to define my own flow (exceptions at times which is also needed for balance).
I agree, but back then they didn't have algorithms based on online activity to fuel the spiral. What we are getting is that, but worse because it is harder to escape
Everything we do is political. The original Stallman "free (as in freedom) software" movement had anti-corporate politics. The "Open Source Software" movement was a deliberate attempt to coopt the movement to be more pro-corpotate.
You could also tax semitruck brakes and tires accordingly, and inspect them for tread and pad depth at weigh stations and during registration.
You wish. Just look at some hot heads still thinking communism is a good idea.

I'm going to guess there's not going to be much value placed on anything out of DALLE for a long while. Digital art is typically worth much less than physical art and I would say these GAN images are going to worth less than digital art generated by human hand.

There will be outliers of course but I would be shocked if there's much of a market in it for at least the present.
The current implementation uses HTTPS (or DoT in some cases, though that's easily blockable just based on port number if you want to). Blocking QUIC will just make it fall back to a slower method that's just as effective.
Thankfully nobody's likely to be reading HN for advice on breastfeeding, debunked or not. :-) They're going to look at the recommendations of the WHO, their country's equivalent or talk to their doctor or midwife. All of which would recommend breastfeeding, since that's the current scientific consensus. The EU in particular highlights the importance of breastfeeding for at least six months.

I'll say this though - breastfeeding can be a complete mystery for new parents and doctors are often clueless about it. A competent midwife which is familiar with the typical issues is priceless. It's good that there's formula available for those cases where the woman can't breastfeed or the baby is having difficulties and the parent's don't know what to do and can't find competent help.

In the EU, the parents get a number of months which can be split between them. Fathers in Germany for example take a few months off. Because breastfeeding, because moms often want to spend time with their babies and yes, sadly often also because they earn more.
What might save FIDE, or at least keep it relevant, is if Ding being in the championship now can do for chess in China what Fischer did for chess in the US, or Anand for India. There's a potential huge market and player base that so far hasn't been very interested in international Chess (xiangqi and go are more popular).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_in_China

On the other hand, this may be an inflection point toward online chess and faster time formats taking over for deciding who the "real" chess champion is. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, especially with the battle between chess.com and lichess.org for online mindshare.
That isn't true. Pedestrians put more pressure on the ground than cars do. Google it if you don't believe me.

The reason sidewalks last so long is they're made of cement rather than asphalt. If you made roads out of cement they would last just as long if not longer.

And the reason they make sidewalls out of cement is they have to. If they made then out of asphalt they would decay very quickly.
My problem is when you lean too far in to that, it can quickly transform into defeatism, which is worse than simply not caring.
LAION is working on open source alternatives. There's a lot of activity in their discord and they have amassed the necessary training data but I am uncertain as to whether they have obtained the funding needed to deliver fully trained models. Phil Wang created initial implementations of several papers including imagen and parti in his GitHub account. EG: https://github.com/lucidrains/DALLE2-pytorch
I don't see how you have really fixed the break much. Especially if you can "push back" and say no to an update, you are just setting yourself up for when the update is even harder to accept. (That is, the further behind on an update you are, the harder to take it. Typically.)

And then there is the "I want the fix, but I don't want the added attack vector of features that comes with it."
It is not a leech to create legislation that is intended to act as consumer protection for your citizens. Quite the opposite actually. You may argue that the legislation doesn't do what it claims to do, but it makes no sense to call them a leech when Apple is operating in their market, and thus subject to the rules of their market.

Perhaps you may think of the EU as Apple and the common market as the App Store if it will make it any more palatable.
and that's great in theory, yet incredibly vague. I doubt it's targeting HCI that are predominantly on-call: medical professionals, infrastructure engineers, programmers, etc. I picture it as critical of 996 working hours and similar.

In any case I suppose we have different expectations on what's reasonable. If you think a handful of pages per year from my consentual employer is infringing on my fundamental human rights then there's not much I can say to convince you otherwise.
The parent comment was being unfair. There is one market where Europeans dominate both in sheer volume and in innovation: excuses.

Excusing business, excusing governments; an international pastime of the Europeans, apparently.

Europeans did in fact exist before all of the listed examples came into being, and so could have outcompeted any of them even if they are now dominant. But I still think Europeans _could_ compete, even if culturally they are not prepared to be competitive. Amazon is only a fraction of retail sales and has huge weaknesses; Europeans who know their markets better could compete if they wanted to (especially with the huge amount of protectionism national governments are willing to engage in). LINE exists in Japan, presumably a smaller market than Europe that has managed to produce a viable WhatsApp competitor. Facebook was unstoppable until TikTok ate their lunch.

Again, I’m astounded by the European affinity for excusing uncompetitive businesses.
Monopolistic regulation kills competition by increasing the cost of entering that market, while established players have the capital and necessary connections for workarounds.

For example imagine a new company trying to build an iPhone with minimal app store, well guess what, now they have to also build support for third party store, developer tools, etc… which increases their cost to launch. Apple on the other hand will have all this taken care of. It will have multiple people making sure regulators are happy (or rich).

While I later found that this will not target small companies, so in this aspect this regulation will likely have minimal impact.
Why, then, do they only install the font on Windows? Why not do the same thing on OS X or Linux?
Interviewers don't air dirty laundry?

They sell a position to a qualified candidate. Keyword is sell. They're not going to tell you what frustrations other staff have, or if they treat their workers like shit, or if they make unreasonable demands that aren't in the job description, or if scope-creep on a project 4 months down the line will require me to start putting in overtime I didn't agree to, etc.

If you know of an accurate way to determine what the day-to-day working conditions are for any arbitrary position in any company over an extended period of employment (including how work conditions will change with things like leadership changes, mergers, departmental transfers, special projects, etc.), shoot me an email because I will invest in whatever magic it is.
What's the deal with Brock Whittaker's website at brooock.com, anyway? It only seems to have one page: <http://brooock.com/a/property-taxes-are-good>. There's no home page, no list of other posts. Kinda disappointing, really, since I was curious to see what else this guy had to say.
It's not true that quantum can perform beyond classical computations. It's only a resource advantage for some time complexities.
Great idea! I did something similar for a weekend project that folks can checkout at (PauseTheVideo)[https://pausethevideo.vercel.app] if they're interested. We're big fans of Agadmator at DiffLens and made that site as a tribute to his videos! I haven't had time to update it with the latest videos, but there are about 10 games currently from the candidates tournament. The idea is to find the best move in the position to win the game!

The website is not complete yet but the games are definitely play-able.
That's extreme example. You can still program. Original article is about working as developer in Stripe.
> This would pretty clearly be Apple preferring its own service over other services, and is prohibited under the new law.

I don't agree. Green bubbles indicate that messages travelled 100% within Apple's ecosystem. Indicating interoperability with a 3rd party by using blue bubbles doesn't do anything to prevent those 3rd parties from having their own green bubbles within their own ecosystem.
Asking for the "most important problem" concentrates the mind. When this was asked last month, for instance,

https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/ipoll/study/31119654/questio...

the concern about "cancel culture" and "wokeness" which are somewhat widespread are not even visible because nobody prioritizes those things over inflation, resentment towards the government, etc. Very few people report that their largest concern is Ukraine, Russia, or anything having to do with defense or foreign policy.
yup. with google messenger it was used almost exclusively to spam google messenger users, and that's what'll happen with this as well.
Why I get the implicit argument (make their jobs less onerous) I disagree with it on the whole.

The fact that a lot of people's job is to create bullshit is bad, for most definitions of bad. Personally, I would include morally bad in there.

And if the bullshit is bad, then creating software that makes it easier to make more of it is also bad.

If anything this software should work literally backwards.

We can also ask, was the store closed for a month in an attempt to force out the union-sympathizing employees? Does the fact that it still has 20 employees after a month of closure suggest there were even more employees a month ago? The last time the store opened was on June 17th, and the vote to unionize was held June 23rd. All that upstairs needs to do is not send a manager with the keys.
> Changing federal funding rules for suburban infrastructure would be a big head start.

That would be political suicide. The suburbs are the chief battle ground. The big difference between 2016 and 2020 were the suburbs.
I'd hazard it's more specifically because your kitchen at home has a lower ceiling of harm.

If you start a grease fire, you burn down your house.

If you serve meat that's been stored at room temperature, you make your family and some friends sick.

But a commercial kitchen's potential for harm is much higher in many ways.
Of course not, you don’t want to think in terms that do not align with your experience and propaganda addled brain.

The Fed was just saying they’re trying to get wages to stop going up; aka CEOs tossing more money at people, and trying to get people to save.

It’s gaslighting while ignoring the obvious trend; decades of CEO pay/growing wage inequality have lead normies into high inflation despite being told paying workers more would be the cause.

The powers that be are not dumb; they intentionally peddle narratives contrary to their intentions all the time; Roe v Wade for example. They’ll conveniently ignore the status quo of paying them more deflating our buying power because barely 90% of country is college educated and won’t question the hierarchy defined for them their entire lives, and the educated are outnumbered so they just play along.

I don’t know how it can be anymore clear; decades of doing what we were resulted in the situation we find ourselves; JIT logistics only the elite can thrive in.
That's great, but by doing so you are also inadvertently favoring, in your example, the people with black names. For example, Chinese people save on average, 50 times more than Americans according to the Fed [1]. That would mean they would generally be overrepresented in loan approvals because they have a better balance sheet. Does that necessarily mean that Americans are discriminated against in the approval process? No.

My question to you is: is an algorithm that takes no racial inputs (name, race, address, etc) yet still produces disproportionate results biased or racist? I say no.

Same day exercise, folks. You'll end up paying tax on those options at your marginal rate, but you won't be out of pocket for worthless paper, either.
Even Curbed, a pro-urbanist site, has strongly called into question this theory: https://la.curbed.com/2017/9/20/16340038/los-angeles-streetc.... It notes that by the 1930s, LA’s streetcar system was falling into disrepair and running massive losses.

What people forget is that during the mid-20th century, cars were progressive, forward looking, and egalitarian. They were seen as ushering in a future where ordinary people could leave overcrowded cities and travel in speed and comfort. Faced with the need for massive investment to bring street car systems into good repair, cities chose to invest in what they saw as the future: roads and highways for personal transit. (Remember these are the same people who thought babies in drawers was progress: https://about.kaiserpermanente.org/our-story/our-history/bab....)

It’s also important to note that southern cities that grew rapidly post-1950, such as Atlanta, uniformly adopted a car-centric approach. These cities were outside the alleged scope of the GM conspiracy, but developed on the same track because everyone back then saw individual car ownership as the future.
Suppose for the sake of argument that Americans were no better or worse at negotiating that anyone else. What do you expect would happen to the prices then, with the current influx of Americans?
Yeah, I personally find it pretty sad, but what can you do. Point is, while I don't want to work, "no one wants to work" is clearly false.

Can you turn BT off and connect via a chord?

That's what I do with my car. Sure it's a little annoying to use a chord rather than using BT but at least you wouldn't have it auto-playing when you start the car.

I have an Android and when we had the BT on the radio on, it would auto-connect to my phone and start playing whatever the last thing I was listening to on Spotify. If I stopped Spotify, my phone's audio output would still remain connected to the radio, even if my gf was connected with her iPhone and the system had switched to iOS CarPlay (the radio had both Android Auto and iOS CarPlay)

We finally figured out we could disable BT via the radio's setting and that solved our problem. We actually prefer connecting via a cable anyways.
While I think there is correlation here, I think a better arugment would be for the cyclical nature of art. When society goes one way art may go another. (or at times the same way, I doubt it's a 180 relationship)

Hasn't this always been true? I can't imagine a time in history when plays/literature/music has been more accessible to the working class.
You realize that there is a website called Red State and that it's a right-wing propaganda outfit, right? I personally think it's hilarious that the "godless Reds" used to be commies, and now they're Republicans.
I don't think anyone was suggesting what you're calling a bad idea.
I mean, how do you know your webserver doesn't have a bug? How do you know your OS doesn't? Just write those yourself? How do you know yours doesn't? One must still verify the key functionality regardless.

But, you're not wrong, some people reach for every library and framework they can, and others focus on building the most minimal and understandable thing that will work. I'm not saying writing your own server in assembly, but, avoid unnecessary junk and magic and libraries.

It's the classic dilemma: in this world of ours, one can either return to monke or progress to crab.
>All the things you listed are more or less harmless to others, or general purpose tools/forms (mihht dispute art in this regard but I'm personally very willing to accept the dangers that art poses).

Yes, but why do you NEED them, isn't that the argument you made?
I think the actual measurement is off. If a single truck did over $3 million in road damage per year we’d have far worse infrastructure problems than we do. Chances are if you tax road damage you’re charging the hummer $10/year and the truck $31,700 or so.

This oral history is an extremely valuable insight into the growth of TSMC and how it came to dominate the semiconductor foundry business. A must read for anyone interested in the dynamics of the semiconductor industry.
I've co-founded two startups and the biggest surprise/lesson for me was that most people don't want to forge their own path and customize every detail of their life. I had co-founders in each who after leaving our startups went on to 'normal' jobs and are much happier now.

There are without a doubt flight attendants who hate their job, but I'd guess that most of them like their jobs and like the structure and accountability that is provided to them, and not having to figure out every detail themself.

And then there are people like myself who can't stand being told what to work on and how to schedule my day.
Fake meats: what the numbers have to say about the sustainability
In California a bike lane is probably good forever once its laid. There are vehicular roads in my neighborhood that are from the 1920s. These are roads that see construction vehicles and cement trucks abusing them for the past 100 years to infill more housing into the neighborhood, along with your standard semitruck based home movers, delivery vehicles, garbage trucks, fire, etc, and still work fine for roads.

A bike lane on the other hand deals with at most probably a 300lb vehicle. Bike lanes in CA especially would probably last as long as the Appian way if not longer.

Counterpoint: here in Israel we had (only) the bank apps on Android for 2+ years, and they were a combination of "okay" and "awful". My bank's app required to unlock your phone (with biometric auth), an app-specific pin code, and had a 30-second window. It then didn't work 30% of the time and required turning NFC off and on again to work. It took them over a year to change to "just unlock your phone".

Then Apple Pay launched here, contactless adoption on iOS became triple of Android's (despite Android having more than double the phones), and a few months later Google Pay launched in response with their better implementation. I'm guessing it was a combined "in response to Apple" from Google and "maybe this will increase adoption" from banks.
