Great question! This result is in the same area as the work on the amplituhedron. It's not immediately obvious to me that they are directly related, and I didn't see a reference to any amplituhedron papers in the citations of this paper. Dixon et al. have essentially discovered a new symmetry which the scattering amplitudes (of N=4 Super Yang-Mills) must obey, and new symmetries generally lead to deeper understanding of the theory. This symmetry should then also be somehow encoded in the amplituhedron description of the theory; I imagine people would look into this in the future.

I'd like to know how these sanctions are working for us. So, we've sanctioned Russian oil/exports, so now Russia sells its in-demand resources to Asia. The price of said resources have rallied, creating balance of accounts > before the aggression in favour of Russia. On the other side (the west), we suddenly have higher fuel prices, shortages piling up, and increasing inflation. In this regard, are sanctions truly useful? Or are they simply a way of saying we're doing something, without physically doing something - a lot similar to posting a long winded reply on an internet forum.. as I sit home, in my chair.
Doing a rolling distro sounds like a great idea for Google, at their scale, and they also have the expertise and resources to handle any downsides of that.

For early startups, I've been doing "Debian Stable" as the default, partly so that we don't have to spend any time on any surprise distro changes when we're focused on MVP, etc.

And in 2 years, the startup will probably have a lot more resources, and we can look at whether that still makes sense, though we might just end up doing an in-place APT `dist-upgrade`, or coast on `oldstable` awhile if the timing is not right yet.

I also try to use the same distro on workstations and in production, to permit lightweight efficiencies, like experimenting and debugging outside of containers on workstations, without special tooling, while still having a close match to production. So, Debian Stable everywhere.

A recent Ubuntu LTS would also work for this (and sometimes be easier for things like Nvidia SDK), though Debian has been arguably a bit better for security and stability lately.

For things not in the Debian Stable we're using, such as if we need a bleeding-edge version of some key thing, and we have big security/reliability requirements... I manage non-Debian-packaged third-party dependencies in our own Git repo, and track and vet updates. This also means trying to minimize these dependencies, more than we would if we were pulling in 100 packages casually from a language-specific package manager, since each package is additional work.
I'm diagnosed with ADHD and I don't like reading about it on the Internet either. People seem to enjoy making their diagnosis part of their personality rather than learning to manage it and get on with their lives. I don't think it is healthy to stare at a light-up screen and dwell on your mental issues.

Try the experiment a few times. It only works if you happen to look right after it changed to the number you see. Eg it changes to :57, 0.1s later you start looking at it, 0.9s later it changes to :58, 1s later it changes to :59. But to you the delay between :57 and :58 will seem noticeably longer than :58 and :59.

If you happen to look at :57 when it's already been on :57 for, say, 0.5s, then it'll change to :58 0.5s later. It might seem like 0.7s to you but you wouldn't have any way to know it was supposed to be 0.5s.
I would love a [control]+click combo on opening a link from my desktop into the mobile viewer of my choice...

I should be able to go to HN and "View as safari on ios 15. | View as Chrome/brave/ as Device Type [X]" and assign it to ctrl+middle+shift+click... or some such...

I should, be able to see the view, on my machine between the three: Desktop, iOS, Android for the same URL view and see the interactions on desktop....

Is there a reason why one cant just cycle through these views on a single tab of a single browser?

Click the button and it just cycles through the view
A lots of fun things, feel free to connect with me on Github if anyone would like to chip in and help:

- An Electron template with built-in secure features. I regularly maintain and update the template so it's supported with newer versions of packages.
- A collection of free, public-domain recipes. I've wanted to do some version of this for _years_, but am finally getting around to do it again. This time, I'm paying chefs to create recipes for me that will be licensed as public domain.

Does anyone think that all that backlash about Intel IME had an impact on this?

I think Intel lost lots of confidence from domestic users due to accusations against IME.

Not that AMD is any different but they somehow managed to not draw public attention to PSP.
Intel also outsources certain components to TSMC. The only apples to apples comparison would be to isolate revenue for chip sales.

Also TSMC has reportedly surpassed Intel in quarterly revenue, so all these numbers are changing quickly.
Sunscreen | SWE, Product Engineer, Cryptography Engineer | Full-time | SF or REMOTE

Private computation, compilers, and post-quantum crypto…oh my!

At Sunscreen, we believe private computation is the future [0]. Since the cryptography needed to achieve this feat is currently inaccessible to engineers, we have built and open-sourced our (Rust-based) fully homomorphic encryption compiler [1]. Next, we’re focused on building out our zero-knowledge proof library and distributed file system.

We're looking to grow and have 3 years worth of runway in the bank. Join us and help make advanced cryptography easy to use for engineers [2].

Once I got through writing this comment I realized it was really long and was not particularly enlightening or insightful, but I decided to go ahead and post it. If you have any opinions on it I'm always to glad to read what other people think about language design/usage and surrounding topics:

I don't disagree that the translation may result in roughly similar assembly/bytecode instructions in many languages, and while TFA is Rust-centric and most of the conversation has been too, my issues with iterators are not restricted to Rust. Further, my objection to using them in my own code is not strictly a performance issue (although, I am never in favor of coding and hoping it gets optimized).

Inherently, iterators are a more complex concept than a loop (or the tail recursive equivalent). Iterators are an object in and of themselves that are by design more complex than a natural number index, then you still need the actual looping construct. I am aware there are reasons that iterators are preferred and often recommended in some situations. However, the determination to use an iterator based construct in your code is not a universal declaration of fitness, it is only a case-by-case determination weighed against whatever other factors matter to the people writing the code. I also think this applies to the pushing of iterators as an idiomatic construct in a programming language, i.e. whether iterators are idiomatic is a determination that is made by the language designers when weighed against the established goals and priorities of the language as a whole.

Regarding the iterator-based code enabling optimizations that make the resulting compiled code faster than a basic while loop: I will admit that there is a possibility for this to occur. However, that is tempered by an educated guess that the enabling of those optimizations only occur because the compiler writers have explicitly coded in a 'hot-path' for iterator constructs into the IR. Also, there is the chance that the compiler writers use the higher level IRs to memoize data about the loop as a whole (based on knowledge of the language's iterator construct) and the presence of that data at later stages of the compiler allow for optimizations to occur, whereas the while loop would not trigger the memoization steps and then could not produce the optimizations. Both of those circumstances are a result of the language designers/compiler writers basing code generation (or IR generation) off of the idioms of the language and the underlying semantic definitions of the language.

As an aside, I am not certain Rust's compiler treats iterators the way I described above, but I would be surprised if it was not.
[Bias disclaimer: I have previously worked on Windows and ChromeOS]

When your choices are:

1) A 16" MBP with an awful keyboard layout (death to the Command key, and put Ctrl in the corner) but a great screen and battery life

2) A Chromebook that's straightforward, reliable, but for some reason not available in a size >13" with a resolution >1080p (so a dealbreaker for development for many people)

3) A Linux laptop with all of the fun bluetooth, driver, and battery quirks that implies

Many people will choose #1. OS X is by far my least-favorite desktop OS for a wide variety of UX reasons, but when my workflow for the most part requires browser windows, terminals, and enough pixels to use many of them at once the 16" MBP is a pretty good choice (when I'm not paying, at least).
> Basically the way email was for many in the late 1990s

Keeping in mind that the reason 2FA came along was that we learned the hard way that passwords are not sufficient to secure an account accessible on the public Internet. Too many effective side-channel attacks (both phishing the user and exploiting human psychological vulnerability, i.e. pulling passwords from another site and discovering that the same account and password works elsewhere).

... but such a system could allow for the account recovery solution to be "Go to the library and talk to a human being there, who can hit the account reset button." Libraries offer the advantage of having an already geographically-distributed-and-local staff by virtue of the non-digital service they provide.

> You never have to transfer from an east-west train to a north-south train (or vice versa). Literally everything is on your route.

You can accomplish that in 2D by making the train line a ring, like the Yamanote Line of Tokyo. That way you halve the max distance traveled, and can “cut across” on car, foot, bike, other-train, etc where the main train line would still be inefficient.

> With sufficient competition cost savings on labor turn into consumer surplus.

Nice theory. Though consumer surplus is not evenly distributed which creates problems.

> This is supposed to be done by using the wealth gained by being early to the middle class to reinvest in additional productivity and specialization.

Again, wealth gained goes to a different set of people than the ones who need to reinvest in additional training. Also, if you are worked until the age of 45 in a certain field, retraining and becoming expert in another field is near impossible given how much time you have to spare with other commitments in life. So again, a cute theory but fails in practice.

> I am of the view that the US is a net beneficiary of globalization

Citation needed. Maybe there are benefits in the short term but I am afraid we have destabilized our society for the long run.

> I would prefer those companies to fail and new ones with new management who can more accurately assess costs and value to replace them.

Sounds good in theory. Haven't seen it working in practice over the last 2-3 decades across the Western world.

An Empirical Study on Production Dependencies in NPM
The definition I heard (apparently by the Brazilian woman that did the first research) was "any ingredient that wouldn't be found in a regular kitchen". Not meaning things like rutabagas or mangosteen, but rather things like xantham gum, soy lecithin, and things with organic chemical names. So by definition you cannot ultra-process your food in your home kitchen.

I think the name is lousy, but I think the reason is that things like xantham gum and soy lecithin are there to provide texture. For example, low-fat yogurt has some of these in it because if you take the fat out, it doesn't have the same texture (probably isn't even solid), so you need to do some processing to get it to the same place. See [1] for a summary.

There's a podcast on the BBC where a doctor tries to get his twin doctor brother of ultra-processed food. Unfortunately, most of the episodes involve emotional issues, but they do have a few minutes of interviews with major researchers. [3] is sort of a summary.

My neighbor, who is my rival, wants to get a Red Rider BB Gun. I do not want this to happen, because this threatens my status as the cool kid on the block. If I just buy myself a Red Rider BB Gun, he will call me a copycat and make me look bad. So instead, I buy a Red Rider BB Gun for the dorky kid down the corner, who is not a threat to me. I get to look magnanimous, my rival is thwarted, the dorky kid has a cool toy. It seems that what I have done is certainly good for me, and the dorky kid has for sure gained something, but have I really done a good thing? Or have I done a selfish thing — using the dorky kid as a means to achieve a selfish end (thwarting my rival)? And if we are to say that my intent does not matter, we have to also accept that this has tremendous knock-on implications, especially problematic for concepts upon which we regularly depend, like merit and guilt.

As for whether Unions are good or not, my answer would be that they are good. They represent a tried, effectual response to the “social question” which emerged in the late 19th Century, avoiding the destructive poles of unconstrained capitalism and revolutionary socialism. It is also noteworthy that independent trade unions have historically acted as a bulwark against various totalitarianisms of both left and right. It is also true that some unions have been guilty of violence, corruption, ideological craziness, and narrow selfishness, but I would suggest that this is not a unique problem for unions.
