I don't know if it's sarcasm or not.

For one, many units are actually defined using relatable things like your example: "the mass of one cubic centimeter of water". Here, one always buys water in in 0.5 litre, 0.75 litres or 1 litre (=0.5,0.75 and 1 kilo), so it's even more relatable than your hand of berries (I literally had half a unit kilo weight in my hand an hour ago). Or celsius, 100 is boiling point of water and 0 is freezing point, which you will also encounter in your daily life (cooking and your fridge, at least approximately) and are easy to relate.

But more importantly, it doesn't matter. Most "personal" definitions are vague. My girlfriend is significantly shorter and a meter is way longer for here than for me, also her forearms are like two thirds of my forearm. Nobody knows how a meter is defined and I think many have forgotten how a gram or a kilo are defined, it's a scale you internalise. How to define them, that's up to the scientist. The day to day advantage is that it's so easy to calculate with these units and every single unit has the same concept behind it (from current to weight to acceleration).

No, making the topical "political" really mean partisan and it's not pointless.

It's a deliberate tactic to stifle conversation and delay changes of policy.

There are enormous financial benefits for many companies in delaying the adoption of sustainable economy.
It's a good point, and I think it's an interesting comparison. Obviously improving by a factor of 1000 is better than improving by a factor of 5. But the absolute improvement is still 4 times larger. 400'000'000 extra biscuits is going to bring a lot more revenue than 999'000 biscuits

> i am pretty much in the minority but if USA and "allies" didnt help ukraine, russia would come in, wipe the ruling party out, maybe destry some cities but the whole thing would be over in less time. the exact same thing that happened with afghanistan or iraq for example.

No, not even close. Russia's goal in Ukraine is the destruction of Ukrainian statehood and ethnicity by merging its territory into Russia and turning Ukrainian people into servant underclass in the new Russian empire. Genocide, in short. See Putin's speech on the eve of the war and his pseudohistorical essays.

Nothing the US did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan or Vietnam comes close. The US did not attempt to merge Iraq into the United States and enslave the people of Iraq.

When facing genocide, surrender is not an option. It's insane to even suggest that. Nor are Russian ambitions limited to Ukraine, concessions will only lead to escalation.
Were you able to inquire about their approach to backups in general?
With every benchmark there is an objection, because every benchmarks measures a specific thing, and that specific thing is not the thing everyone wants to see measured.

These benchmarks tell you what performance you get with this array of programs, on linux, with these machines. You want to know something about the inherent performance capabilties of each cpu, which is very hard to figure out, since we will never know when/if any of these programs has had a totally optimal solution for each piece of hardware.

Usually the best you can do is just measure actual programs people use.

It's not market effects from x86, it's just process. We've entered a period where (1) Apple is able to command higher margins for its silicon and thus pay for "The Best" of whatever is available, even monopolizing the best processes and (2) "The Best" process isn't Intel, so it's available for purchase.

So Apple bought themselves a win, which makes perfect sense. And they had already chosen ARM for iOS (for historical reasons, really -- the original iPhone picked an off-the-shelf Samsung SOC), so that's what they dropped in the Mac.

But indeed, this is probably transitory. Eventually TSMC will either lose its lead or ramp its best processes to the point where other manufacturers can buy it. Already, as we see here, they're only mildly ahead of the rest of the pack.
It seems like it was gradually escalated on both sides to me.

> When Britain joined the war on August 4, 1914, they did not immediately execute the entire plan to blockade all German imports. It was not until nearly four months into the war that Britain labeled the North Sea a war zone, and also began directing limited forces in the Mediterranean as well to restrict all German trade routes.

> The final shift to establishing the full blockade came on November 11, 1914, after several German light cruisers were observed attempting to lay mines off the coast of southern England. This act of aggression gave British leaders the impetus they needed to declare the full blockade without U.S. resistance because during the first four months of the war, Britain had confined itself to blocking only war materials from reaching German ports. World opinion of Germany during this time began to deteriorate because of repeated reports of brutality directed against Belgian and French civilians.

These things have a way of "tit for tat" escalating. If your opponent is doing things like executing whole villages of Belgian civilians as at louvain (August 1914), then the blockade starts to seem like a moral imperative.

As well as that - if Germany is laying mines in layers off the British coast, that is a pretty effective way of stopping merchant traffic to Britain and is sure to elicit a response in kind. If a country started laying mines off the coast of New York how do you think the US would respond?

> You realise that Germany invaded Belgium and France because France and Russia mobilised against her?

Not sure any country would have accepted the terms of Germany's ultimatum to France, which included not only not starting mobilization, but also giving strong guarantees. Furthermore, if France was to bend and remain neutral, the German ambassador was instructed to add more humiliating terms in order to secure war.
Well, the list says at the beginning that the point is to choose the questions that matter to you. On time alone, you probably can only ask 3-4 per interview. I've asked similar questions on interviews and the truth is that they reveal a lot of information about the company. For example, asking about work on week-ends, I don't only want the answer but the way they answer is interesting: "we work some week-ends, lately quite a bit due to X, but rest assured all those hours are counted as overtime and compensated accordingly" is far different than "if we need to work week-ends we work week-ends", one tells me they know they're stretched thin but they don't want that to remain permanent, the other tells me I'm going to get fired soon for refusing to work a week-end on short notice.

The more accurate title would be "Less content by robots".

Unfortunately, what is not mentioned in the article is that sole existence of these content-farms is enabled by Adsense. So basically they are in the chicken and egg problem, and the only way to really solve it is to acknowledge that ad-based business models lead to detoriation of content on the web, get rid of Adsense (probably miniscule revenue contribution compared to Adwords) and then figure out how they resolve their own business model incentives and outcomes for users. Tough one.
I'm not familiar with Zstandard and the Zstandard site doesn't discuss how they use threads in compression vs decompression, but I know that for gzip the parallel implementation in pigz is able to split the workload across threads for compression but not decompression.
So it could be that similarly in Zstandard, decompression is not an operation that is identically implemented to compression in reverse. There could be differences in thread utilization that shift the balance to being more sensitive to single-core performance.

I think many early-stage startups are hesitant to take investment vs. bootstrapping unless that investment also comes with some significant domain experience, scaling advice, connections, etc. and is from an investor who's well-aligned with their vision.

For HN specifically: maybe helpful to write up a high-level summary: Who are you, what's your focus, what kind of startups are you interested in helping? In this forum the anonymity-factor is higher (vs. twitter or other venues) so that information is probably more important here.

Amen. FWIW, we are open source, and we publish libraries that let anyone sign and verify webhooks, hoping to save people the work and have a unified standard.

Libs: https://github.com/svix/svix-webhooks

Docs: https://docs.svix.com/receiving/verifying-payloads/how-manua...

The docs mention `Svix-Signature`, but we (and the libs) also support `Webhooks-Signature` which are useful for the generic standard.

The fact that we don't have REST for webhooks is both silly and annoying. Especially since (as you can see on the list in the original post) many companies who implement webhooks end up doing it poorly.

Econtalk had a recent episode [0] that discusses this problem and the limitations when applied to real life. There's also a transcript [1] for those who prefer reading.

I found the discussion (and the entire episode) to be a nice reflection on how applying rules/logic/algorithms to big, deeply human problems doesn't always work. While the secretary problem is a fascinating and unintuitive mathematical result, as many other commenters have pointed out, it just doesn't have that many strict uses in people's real lives, outside of the general idea of "try a few of X to get the idea of the field, then pick one".

It's the exact opposite.

Taking the software example, you can easily scale from 1 to 100 users on your own machine. You can handle thousands by moving to a shared host. Using off-the-shelf web servers and load balancers will help you serve a million+. From there on you'll have to spend a lot more effort optimizing and fixing bottlenecks to get to tens, maybe hundreds of millions. What if you want to handle a billion users? Five billion? Ten billion? It always gets harder, not easier.

Pushing the established limits of a problem takes exponentially more effort than reusing existing solutions, even though the marginal improvement may be a lot smaller. Getting from 99.9% to 99.99% efficiency takes more effort than getting from 90% to 99%, which takes more effort than getting from 50% to 90%.

You never pierce the scaling wall. It only keeps getting higher.
And that’s happening. The next test is “the 8th box should contain a rhombus slowly rotating clockwise” and it’s failing because the box is currently empty. So now you write code.

While that first sentence is unnecessarily aggressive, the point of your post is correct for non-industrial scale farming, at least in my experience in the US.

In 'standard' farming practice, a vast majority of the feed for cattle is grass, hay, or other sorts of grass things. The last month or so before slaughter they are fed heavy grain to bulk up a little and be more marketable. (source; my farm).

In Industrial scale farming (which one could argue is the actual standard now because people demand cheap meat), cattle are kept in feed lots for their lives and pushed heavy grain.

Pigs don't eat grass. Chickens don't eat grass.

It's funny, I've had almost embarrassing success building a trivial recipe filter for my search engine.

> No, the only answer is not "let's reduce fossil fuel consumption".

There's really no other option though, there are pretty solid reasons rooted in basic physics why CO2 capture/scrubbing are not feasible at a large enough scale to really matter, geoengineering proposals are unproven, expensive and high risk, and the cost of attempting to adapt to the sorts of temperature and sea level changes expected to take place over the next few 100 years if we don't reduce emissions would be measured in innumerable human and non- human lives. Actually we'll likely need all 4 strategies, but replacing fossil-fuel energy sources with largely carbon neutral ones is almost certainly the simplest and cheapest, and if we'd started doing so 30 or 40 years ago there'd probably be little to worry about by now.

I haven't written my comment in the spirit of entering a competition of who can get more RAM, but in the spirit that the Phoronix benchmark compares completely different computers, one with 8GB, the other with 16GB of RAM and gives a title suggesting that it's a comparison between chips, when the chip with 8GB isn't limited to 8GB. They could have gone for the 16GB option and made the comparison more honest. The chip doesn't have any such limitation.
Maybe you can come up with a particularly stringent conceptualization of what is or isn’t science, and maybe some fields of inquiry won’t meet that bar (like cosmology?), but that doesn’t make them “dumb”. Even without testability you can still reason about the likelihood of things.
I agree. I would say handwriting has actually improved in legibility through history if anything. Most historic handwriting tended to be closer to what today we would call shorthand or stenography. Even in formal texts, it is common to find missing vowels or worse (and if you go even farther back in time, it is common to find the same word spelled in different ways even within the same page).
Is there public documentation on these "image processors" that is sufficiently detailed to implement drivers/firmware for them ?

Yeah its pretty scary, 6 years mean you've either only understood on one or two big systems, or you've job hopped more projects and never understood them in depth.
I mean, I don't really buy this "they were all as bad as each other" argument. We're not talking about some moral assessment of the totality of German and British civilisations, but rather more specifically about WWI itself and the lead up to it. The simple fact is that Germany initiated the war (turned a "cold" rivalry hot), it invaded its neighbour, it treated civilians abonimably, and Britain's involvement in the war was in practice defensive to its ally France and took place mostly on French territory. I don't recall Britain rounding up villages of Germans and executing them.

Even when it comes to the "war crimes" stuff in this thread - something like poison gases were straightforwardly outlawed by the Hague Convention, it was Germany that first decided to "go there" and make mass use of poison gas a feature of WWI.
