That's related to why so many US states have struck devil's bargains with lottery companies. The lottery companies promise to give a percentage of profits back to public funds (often state education funds) for the rights to operate in that state. On the one hand it is nice to imagine that money going to fund education programs. On the other is the realization that gambling addiction affects every class of people, not just the super-rich and that if those lottery funds are broken down in comparison to other taxes they are often egregiously regressive (the poor buy a lot more lottery tickets than the average rich person, and worse spend a much larger share of their disposable income).

It's hard to imagine pay-2-win not having similar devil's bargain problems for "wealth redistribution" that some of the players most interested/encouraged to pursue it aren't always the players that can truly afford it.
I agree with everything here, but suspect the person you replied to was asking what caused the strange correspondence :P (or, even if they weren't, I'd like to ask for myself)
SpaceTech GmbH | Immenstaad DE (Southern Germany) | Onsite | Full-Time

I'm a SWE at SpaceTech GmbH trying to get our solar array factory up and running, and I'm looking for another SWE to help me out ASAP.

We're a small company specializing in space projects. We've delivered hundreds of solar panels to help power the OneWeb constellation, and now were building out our solar array factory to produce thousands more. If you:

* feel comfortable in C# and computer vision (HALCON experience would be awesome)

* can think for yourself and work independently

* are not afraid to get close to the metal and move some axes

* are already in the Bodensee region, or are willing to relocate there

...then drop me a line.

So basically, "if I make them fractal they look like patterns in nature, and if I scale tiny pixel fractals on screen up to the width of a bolt of cloth they still look like fractal patterns in nature, and if I get it right the details end up about the same scale as details in nature, mostly" kind of thing?
I’ve been doing this for years. I generally suggest holding off on upgrades in the weeks immediately following a Debian stable release is a good idea: when everything that has been held back from testing suddenly arrives at once, bugs sometimes get missed. But otherwise, generally a really solid experience.

Of course, it’s not officially supported by anyone, so when the (very) occasional bug does hit, you have to sort out rolling back to something that works yourself. Sounds like Google automated this side of things?
Is the counter-proposal that if some part of any company commits fraud, the company should be shut down, everyone who works there should become unemployed, and anyone who depends on company’s product should go without?

To me it seems more reasonable to set the penalties at a level that’s high enough to deter violations. To make that calculation, the main inputs should be how much money they can make from the violation and how likely they are to get caught. Other profits the company made that weren’t from fraud are irrelevant. (or in this case, losses, since we are discussing an unprofitable company)
Probably yes, but presumably you could achieve this by compressing the data on the file system level as well (for example with ZFS).
The P/E for Tesla suggest it is going to take decades(at the peak, over a century) for that valuation to make sense.

Even if it grows to the point that it destroys all other automakers and become a monopoly, it's still too high. You can only sell so many cars.

The valuation seems to be taking into account that Tesla is not only about cars, but also artificial intelligence, which would allow it to expand to other markets(taxis, maybe even military).

Jury is still out.
An API for housing and prices? Isn't there a bunch of real estate APIs out there?

We build a single page application and use Webpack (nodejs build tool to create SPAs). In 2018 there weren't many alternatives to Webpack so we pick that, but may reconsider in the future. We don't have the bandwidth to create our own frontend build tool, we focus on the features.

Docusaurus is also IO intensive as we read a lot of markdown files on the disk and also emit intermediate files.

Webpack already builds things in parallel, but it remains nodejs, and IO/CPU are both bottlenecks at different steps of our build.
Crypto is a cess pool of unscrupulous practices and questionable ethics facilitated by the lack of market regulation and oversight. And in some cases like this one, outright legal fraud.
Also cowrote "Algebraic structure theory of sequential machines" (1966) which —if, along with its successor Krohn-Rhodes theory seems to be largely impractical— is an interesting path-not-taken in CS...
When does a quasiparticle become “particle physics”?

As far as I can tell, protons and neutrons are quark-gluon quasiparticles, but we’re happy to call studying protons and neutrons “particle physics”.

From Wiki:

> complicated system such as a solid behaves as if it contained different weakly interacting particles in vacuum

That is, this description fits protons and neutrons relative to quarks and gluons: very cold quark-gluon regions behave as if protons and neutrons exist.

Ramsey, Cambridgeshire, is most certainly not in Northern England. Anyone who suggests so probably has suspect knowledge.

However you both have points. But I expect that the houses you’re looking at on rightmove are not affordable, new builds, which typically are not clustered around the kinds of places you used as examples.

And a lot of USA houses are built so very cheaply. You don’t get many thatched houses stateside, right?

Not to say that English new-builds in the last 20 years are stellar examples of construction, but you do generally get a lot more house for your money.
I agree that generation isn't especially relevant here, but I do think the flip side is an interesting concern that we rarely talk about.

Biden and about 1/4 of the senate are of "the silent generation", before the boomers. Almost half of senators are over 70, which is a mandatory retirement age for various kinds of judges in several states. Around 2/3 are older than 65, the age at which the Foreign Service has its staff retire. Yes, a volatile monarch is concerning. But isn't a senator battling senility also dangerous?

I’ve been working on needle[1], a CLI tool (and associated library) that can detect openings/intros and endings/credits across TV or anime episodes. It decodes audio, fingerprints it in chunks, and then compares chunks across files to find common sequences.

The end goal is to use the library to build a Jellyfin plugin (C#) that handles skipping intros. I think I’ve figured how to call a C library from C#, but there is a lot of work to do to actually get a functional plugin.

This isn't a bailout. Intel posted their first net loss in a long long long long time. They still have a 15B revenue, and plenty of cash on hand.

This is funding for investing in US chipmaking. Frankly, America is uncompetitive, owing to a an expensive labor pool (high cost of living) and adversarial operating environment (lots of legal & regulatory hurdles). As I see it, this funding exists to pay the difference, to get chip-makers like Intel to do it here anyways, even though there's no business sense. Because chipmaking is an existential risk, a necessity for modern civilization, and the thought of not having access to it is unimaginably awful.

If this money came with a million strings strings attached, Intel probably wouldn't take it. This money is a carrot. But hopefully one that indeed does end up encouraging the needed results.
Ascribing Singapore’s wealth to its location as a strategic port is more than a bit odd, considering its always been where it is, but hasn’t been rich this whole time. In classical times Chittagong, the port city where my dad went to college, was one of the most important ports in the world. But that didn’t prevent Bangladesh from being one of the poorest countries in the world in modern times. Clearly there is more at work.

The geography of Singapore gets thrown around a lot to detract from how much Lee Kuan Yew’s deliberate decisions made Singapore what it is today. Which is a shame because that makes it hard for other developing countries to learn from Singapore’s example.
This. The stakes feel so low to me. Just about every president deals with a recession. Having a recession in your term is not a black mark of shame! If anything, I'd be more worried if a president didn't have any recession in their reign, as that would mean something else is being manipulated.

The attempt to suddenly change it now feels quixotic.
Hey, performance tuning is fun! You should try it.

Well, joining NATO at this point seems like a wise decision, don't you agree? If you want to call it "NATO encroachment on Russia", why doesn't Russia attack NATO then?

Why the hell would Ukraine join NATO? I thought Russia was their brother? Any idea why they would want to join NATO? Ah! Maybe it's because they don't want to be invaded by the brother neighbour that likes to invade little countries around them.

NATO expansion is Russia's fault, don't be stupid and claim otherwise. Look at how this war already quickly expanded NATO.

Keep listening to your Russian propaganda.

More likely in an SBC with only a few buses emerging? Advantage there could be to do your high-density routing and PCB mfg with a smaller trace-width etc process.
Wait, is that actually how it works? Makes me sad about my hearing. Not sure how I wrecked it - must have been headphone use at loud volume as a kid.
I read that as having more to do with the length scale of features represented by the pixels than the shape of the pixel itself.

From the biological perspective, the same phenomenon should happen with dots or triangular shapes
> Apple's long-rumored mixed-reality headset is also expected to feature Wi-Fi 6E. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that head-mounted display devices in 2022, 2023, and 2024 will offer Wi-Fi 6/6E, Wi-Fi 6E/7, and Wi-Fi 7, respectively, but it is unclear if this information was related to Apple's product roadmap specifically.

If the headset is not announced in September, I'm going to give up on believing these rumors.

This "run two loops in parallel" pattern is an _incredibly_ common pattern for these "high speed benchmarks". A whole lot of different programs in the high-speed space (this CRC32, the lookup3 Jenkins Hash, My own AES random number generator, etc. etc.).

Instead of the programmer manually thinking of the "two independent pipelines", its quite possible that we can imagine a language where the two pipelines were programmed separately, and then a compiler merges them together knowing about the pipeline details (ex: Skylake is 1-per-clock throughput / 3-clock latency, AMD might be different like 1-per-clock throughput / 4-clock latency or something).

The programmer's job would be to "separate out the two independent threads of execution", while the compiler's job is to "merge them back together into one instruction stream".

Much like how SIMD-code is written today, the programmer is responsible for finding the parallelism. The compiler / machine is responsible for efficient execution.

--------

As it is, today's high speed programmers have to do both tasks simultaneously. We have a mental model of the internal registers, pipelines, throughput, latencies of different execution units, and manually schedule them to match our mental model. (But that mental model changes as new CPUs come out every few years).

The hard part is figuring out the parallelism. I don't think we have a language that describes this fine-grained parallelism though, in any case. Just a "what if we lived in a magically perfect world" kinda hypothetical here...

EDIT: Alternatively, you can "cut dependencies" and hope that the compiler discovers your (intended) low dependency chain. IE: Manually unroll loops and whatever, which works better in practice than you might think (and such manual unrolling often seems to trigger the AVX autovectorizer in my experience, if you're lucky).

Truth Social (https://www.truthsocial.com/) | Engineering and Operations Roles | Sarasota, Florida USA or REMOTE (ONSITE preferred for some roles)

We are a social media company dedicated to delivering users an engaging and censorship-free experience. We believe users should be able to freely express themselves and engage with a rich diversity of viewpoints on a progressive, accessible platform. If you are interested in joining a company that is fast-paced, rapidly growing, and committed to free speech, please get in touch.

Our first product is Truth Social, a social media application which launched on 20 February to become #1 in the Apple App Store. We are expanding to other platforms (Web launched, Android native coming soon) and adding functionality, plus working on follow-on products (SVOD, Infrastructure). Our second product, TMTG+, is a Streaming Video on Demand (SVOD) service which provides content users want, without pushing a political agenda. Our product is currently available in the US and UK and is expanding throughout the world over the upcoming months.

We're looking for a variety of roles in engineering for these products. Our current team is small and technically excellent, making extensive use of open source software and operating our own infrastructure to remain independent of third party control. We are particularly interested in hiring people from the established social media giants and large SAAS applications who were directly involved in creating software and infrastructure for scaling to hundreds of millions of users and beyond, and who want to do it again in an environment which values freedom of speech and expression.

One system we're particularly proud of is an internally-developed ML moderation system which flags policies in violation of ToS and assists human moderators in keeping the site in compliance with our terms of service while respecting free speech. We are working on open sourcing elements of these tools.

We have current openings listed at https://careers.tmtgcorp.com/

Hello HN,

Long-time lurker, first time poster w/8 years of experience. Looking to branch out again. I've worked in pretty much every area of software engineering, touching everything from embedded, data science, full-stack web development, you name it. I also have a few failed startups under my belt but looking for some stability to help with my growing family. Feel free to reach out if interested! I am excited to see what the future may hold!
No sarcasm needed, this is a big reason.
The dimensions that matter are the pitches of the transistors (i.e. of their gates) and of the first layer of metal interconnections, because these are the dimensions which determine the size of a logical gate or of a memory cell.

For state-of-the-art CMOS processes, these pitches are in the range 30 nm ... 50 nm.

See for example the table "Comparing Intel 4 to Intel 7", at:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/17448/intel-4-process-node-in...
With thermal imaging, do snipers still rely on camouflage?
Be aware of the number of iops. That’s a killer.
whats still a web framework?
No and we are happily using it within our overcommitted cluster (combination of shared and dedicated nodepools).

We are a small team of 5 infrastructure engineers and previously managed 200+ libvirt VMs running on bare-metal HA hypervisors in a GlusterFS storage pool (software agency, different customer application services). We started to migrate to GKE in 2017 and finished within a year or so.

I know many associate k8s with a yaml mess, but this is actually our most favourite part of it. We are able to describe a whole customer project in this format and it's not something we have to maintain in-house (Ansible). As long as you don't try to be smart (templating/helm, operator dependance), it works out pretty well, prefer plain manifests and extend that with you own validation scripts.

Nevertheless, if you have no 24/7 operations, stay the hell away from bare-metal - go managed.
I don't think I'd use the term "poaching" for what you're doing. I think of poaching as more trying to hire employees of a direct competitor, as opposed to trying to hire people who are currently employed and didn't initiate contact with you.

What would get my attention? Maybe work from home. How long your runway is. Whether you're getting any traction with whatever you currently have available. Whether I can still have a work/life balance, even though you're a startup. And only then salary plus a cut of the action.
I'm down with fines and jail for the executives. Fines alone are insufficient and nearly pointless.
Theoretically, you're picking off improperly priced homes and quoting a tighter buy/sell spread, so you aren't buying higher than the "market" price. The seller/buyer is the one crossing the spread.

In practice it seems like something isn't properly hedged so Opendoor and a lot of other iBuyers are exposed to the underlying asset rather than just capturing the spread and picking off incorrectly priced homes. That's why you see their margins go up when housing does well and down when housing does poorly. A proper market maker should have no exposure to the underlying (e.g. market makers made record profits in 2020 despite equities tanking). I bet if a Wall Street quant firm came in they'd roll over Opendoor and the like.
I guess, but for consumer friendly, low power and cost; it's better if it's all included.

The only thing "web" about it is that it uses javascript. Do you want to elaborate how using javascript makes for bad UI?
To my surprise, the most common issues I see with the desktop app are audio device issues, e.g. the app doesn't get any audio from my mic the first time I run it, only after I kill and re-launch it. The UI has been fine, if weird. I don't know of any major apps using RN on desktop so going that route may be worse than sticking with Electron.
They're actually not even as "resource constrained" as this comment implies, as the numbers here are off.
