> Neither Intel or Micron could make it cost competitive.

Cost-competitive with what?

I think there are two misconceptions here.

1. It is a kind of memory, not disk. But it is non-volatile large-scale RAM. There isn't any other terabyte-scale non-volatile memory for it to compete against. So how can it fail to compete on cost when there was nothing for it to compete with?

2. As memory it was extremely competitive with conventional volatile memory, being much larger. ITRO n times (for integer values of n whatever that value may be) more Gb/$ is being competitive, IMHO.

Against flash storage: sure, more expensive, but orders of magnitude faster and orders of magnitude more write cycles -- that is highly competitive, isn't it?

> Look at what happened to the US when people were given free money.

I like how in this worldview giving money to the capital class of society is fine and dandy, but giving money to labour class is disasterous. Seems suspiciously convenient.
Lichess needs money itself. It survives off donations.

The evidence points that it is pretty far from being able to sponsor chess players and let them make a living from doing what they love, like a commercial platform could do.
Needs ports and sub-graphs.
There's also chesstempo for puzzles if you are not aware of it already, the puzzles are great and free, with subscription tiers for more features (unlimited endgame puzzles, custom puzzle sets, opening trainer etc.).
The UI is ugly, clunky and old, but as long as it is only for puzzles and not playing I can stand it

Just to make this clear for people who don't already know OpenGL:

The public API state of OpenGL can be queried programmatically and with tooling such as Renderdoc, and it is of course standardized. The hidden state in drivers that you are talking about should only ("only") matter for performance, not correctness. Sometimes it matters for correctness when drivers are buggy, which many are. Driver quality varies widely, with mobile platform OpenGL drivers generally being the worst.
> If GDPR is so complex it requires legal advice, is it then fair to say the law is ambiguous and unreadable for the layperson?

That is indeed a big issue with the GDPR, IMHO. It is complex, not clear, and most people and even companies are not really sure what they can or cannot do and how to go about it.
Telegram channels/groups are good for this.
In art and design, the requirement for lecturers to have PhD has become the norm. But this in no way guarantees quality. At my last uni, a prof had earned his doctorate with a PhD the title of which was something like: 'The Duality of Asia. Design and Art.' Neither he nor his supervisor ever noticed the problem with this.
Not sure democratising art is a good thing. Artists have long been considered important pillars of community. Artists develop skill and some have talent. Perhaps most critically, artists are inspired.

Healthy communities support artists. Generative models aren't truly creative art, they are explicitly and exclusively derivative. They are exactly inspired, in a different sense than artists who are inspired.

Artists can use these new tools, and so can non-artists, and even if the resultant image is the same, I think there is a difference depending on the intention of the prompt-er.

These models are democratising content creation, not art.

I dunno. Weird and very scary.

This seems a bit overdone right? If I understand, Fullstory and the like are cool because they let you reproduce unknown user scenarios and bugs. But for tests, the inputs are all known (that's the point of a test) so it should be trivial to reproduce. In other words, how is this advantageous over just rerunning the failing test locally and opening your browser developer tools?
I'm not seeing the significance of that. Surely there's plenty of alternate descriptions of physics/systems that can be equally predictive and certainly there's lots of equivalences to shift from one framework to another.

Why not? It will surely have the same bounding box as our own physics, but the laws may be represented in completely different fashion. They would mostly map to each other, though.

Or maybe not. Maybe the "AI physics" has predictions for phenomena which our physics never bothered to figure out, whereas it would ignore large chunks of our physics area as irrelevant.

>The demand for PhDs in industry is huge across many fields

... is it really? CS is as far as I know one of the fields with the highest demand and even there the jobs that actually need a phd are pretty rare. As far as I can tell it's possibly only ML where there's a good amount of jobs that essentially require a phd.
I've seen the discussion here about "keeping all the data" and "delete as much as possible" for commercial purposes. IANAL, but I have worked around GDPR related stuff in more than one case, so here is my 50 eurocents:
- from the structural point of view: someone pays for a service. then cancels the service (in writing). then demands a deletion of content data(in writing). then ... chargebacks. Now in the court of law, how would the content data be of extra use, when the person clearly had used the service, cancled, and requested deletion?
- All the companies I worked with were more concerned with minimizing the retention of personal data, not keeping as much as possible. Storing unneccesary personal data too long is a recipe to generate fines much higher than any sum of chargeback, if brought to a court.

In short: The minimization of data and its retention is the intent of the gdpr and I would suggest you work with it from the start, not with the ideas of lawyers "keep everything" because chargebacks.

Great point (I’m the Zach Shefska referenced in the article), and have been working in this space to advocate for consumers. Two things:

1) new FTC proposed rules (which are open for public comment!) would ban the practice of “surprise” add-ons at the dealership.

2) a lot of folks that contribute to markups (and other crowdsourced initiatives) go all the way to getting a buyers order and then report those add-ons when they show up then.

This reminded me a great deal of a paper I read like 10 years ago, which I just looked up because I wanted to see if it was cited here, "Distilling Free-Form Natural Laws from Experimental Data" [0]. Lo and behold it is not only cited, but is written by the same authors. So the novelty here, as discussed in the paper [1], is that they are doing something similar but from video instead of from sensor streams. Which is quite interesting, as it opens up the available information to systems that are hard to 'sense' apart from pointing a camera at them, like the lava lamp example.

I did see a presentation a few years ago on a similar topic by Erwin Couwans, author of Bullet physics engine, who was discussing doing neural inference of physics. He basically wanted to replace Bullet with a neural network, which I thought was kind of funny at the time, but cool if it worked. (Physical laws at this level of mechanics are mostly quite well understood, but the devil is in the details and actually solving time-discretized non-smooth dynamics, as well as performing good contact detection is less than obvious the more you get into it, not to mention friction, so I could see why a "learned" solution could be attractive, but at the time I found it funny that he was proposing to learn the physics that were already simulated by Bullet.) Looking back, it appears that those ideas culminated in a paper [2] two years ago, which I'll have to read now -- from the abstract, the differentiability of the simulation has benefits not only for learning the physics (mostly friction models it appears), but for learning controllers for plants within the simulated physics. It seems to be not cited in the linked article but maybe it is a slightly different, but related, topic. In any case, fascinating stuff.

I find the chess.com UI utterly confusing myself.

I have a lot of friends with a mere passing interest in chess, and most of them had naturally ended up on chess.com. They had never heard of Lichess. But invariably once they tried it they all said the same thing: lichess is much more intuitive and easy to use.

As for analysis, I think computer analysis is not actually very helpful anyway, unless a lot of effort is put into analysing the computer lines and discarding those that you couldn't possibly be expected to find. Most people who use computer analysis don't do this, and they walk away with the wrong conclusions. Chess.com might have a better experience for getting those wrong conclusions, I don't know. And hell, analysing blitz and rapid games is a waste of time anyway, other than looking up opening improvements.

The only analysis I do on Lichess then is mostly looking at the opening in blitz games where the opening went wrong for me, and maybe seeing if I missed a tactic in some position I was unsure about during the game. Lichess is perfectly fine for that.

My understanding is that US system places Ph.D. and masters degree in the same course.

In Europe and Asia you take a bachelor, then a masters degree. Both as university students. A masters opens the door to apply for a Ph.D.

In Denmark, for example, a Ph.D. is commonly a job position, with a limited contract. Union governed, pay, pension. You apply for a position when one is announced, just like many other jobs. Literally you see things like: "University X, department Y are looking to fill a Ph.D. position in Z. Applicants must have these qualifications ..."
In the US PhD often includes master's.
Ask HN: How come that Hashnode is free?
I'm looking for a place to host my blog. After reading a lot here on HN about the fact that HN doesn't like Dev.to and Medium I decided that I'll use Hashnode.

So far everything looks great. I like that I can map my domain to it. I just wonder what will be their business model one day. It can not be free for ever. At one point they must start with pay-per-use model or some other method.

What do you think that will happen once they move away from free model?
That's not what GP matwood said. Instead, 1) find good engineers. And later 2) leaders will emerge from those.

Idiomatic new js/typescript is a completely different beast from old javascript. For all intents and purposes, it's a different language entirely. No one would be expected to pick it up in a minute.

Except that OpenGL limitation isn't as bad as it seems, as most of the work not pixel related can be done by background threads anyway, with the GL thread puting the scene graph into pixels.

Also if one is feelig adventurous they can make use of switching the OpenGL context on the active thread, although I wouldn't advise that given it isn't portable anyway.

Doing a masters in between is usually I'd say a big waste of time and very inadvisable. If you're strong enough to start your PhD then just start it.

I don't like to respond to my own posts but I forgot to include something which I think is important.

Unfair "heuristics" create unhealthy incentives that are typically way more damaging than having little clarity.

1. People feel treated unfairly and their engagement drops off a cliff at that point in time. People can be happy even accepting a punishment AS LONG as they FEEL they are being treated fairly.

2. People feel pressed to do things for show, just to appease measurements even if they don't believe it is right. Soon they are fine doing substandard or even completely shoddy work even in areas that are not measured, because that's what people do. People do not just selectively resign from doing good work -- if they feel they are asked to do bad work somewhere they will also do it in other areas and find a rationale for it.

3. People who will not accept bullshit and would want to do right regardless of unfair measurements, will evaporate from your company. They usually leave on their own. This will leave your company worse overall -- with no people who will tell managers the truth when it is needed the most.

4. The corporate, thinking they have measurements, stop looking to actually do better. The measurements become everything.

It is frequently better to not pretend you solved the problem and accept the problem is hard and try to do best anyway.

What a wonderful article. Given that this column is about 25 years old, it aged really well. I feel that all the points she mentions are still valid today. Even though there is so much talk about trouble in cyberspace. Indeed the solution is easy, just turn it off.
