It's easy to doubt but it actually takes effort to form educated guesses about the future.

I didn't see this particular article but I would have agreed with it. I certainly have written many comments on similar articles (search the comments for alwillis ARM Mac for starters) explaining why such a switch to ARM was completely doable, having lived through the switch from PowerPC to Intel while working at MIT.
By capital, I am referring to things that improve the efficiency of labour, such as a combine harvester.
Original paper was posted to HN last month. Here’s the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32159891

> The 90’s were rife with problems all over the world.

Yeah, I think the difference is how disconnected from the real world the internet/web felt in the 90s. It felt like a different dimension you entered - and "cyberspace" was non ironically talked about as a separate space, and culturally people wanted it to be a separate space with separate norms.

Now it kinda feels like the two worlds have encroached so far on each other they mostly overlap - and both seem hell bent on ruining the other.
That's a nice way of saying productivity.

You think Apple would come out and say their productivity has decreased, therefore they need people to return to office?

It'd be a huge PR nightmare.
There are already guardrails in place on subpoenas. They are about as strong as they can be. That doesn't stop overreach, it doesn't stop corruption, and it doesn't stop people from being people when trying to get them and when granting them. The best way to stop abuses of a system is to remove the potential for abuse. Do you want to remove subpoena power from courts around the world? I don't - you kind of need it to prevent people from destroying and hiding evidence. The only thing that is left is helping people understand the harm that comes to their lives from giving intimate data up, and regulating its collection.

Also, privacy legislation does not need to "take a hatchet to big tech." It will just reduce profits for a few months while the ads team figures out how to work around it. I promise you they will do a really great job figuring it out. Some of the smartest people I know work on those ad models, and they will still be able to use things like location, web browser, and search query to find relevant ads.

Most of the people who can't afford a subscription fee (who, by the way, are not your Indian colleagues, who largely have come from rich or middle class families and can afford a subscription fee) are not worth serving ads to anyway. They don't have money to spend on stuff that you are advertising. I see no problem with offering a free tier with limited search capabilities, and a version with a subscription fee. Lots of SaaS does this. This is basically what Google does now with the ads: the high-value users (young rich people like the HN crowd) subsidize everyone else by having high ad impression prices.

By the way, I did work at G. I'm not convinced that personalization actually helps the bottom line at all for Amazon and Google search when you balance against the reduction in CTR due to latency (personalization prevents caching), and the added compute and engineering cost of personalization (since personalization prevents caching, you need a ton of additional servers and a lot of extra brains thinking about how to make them work). The idea of a search engine that produces personalized and highly specific search results feels like a local maximum to me in light of the costs and the research around CTR and web UX.

Unfortunately, that local maximum is currently so heavily entrenched in the market that it can strangle any competition. Google got its market share initially by having really fast search results that had the words in your query, and having no ads (and then later, a few clearly marked ads). This was in competition to web search providers that tried to offer personalized search results and highly relevant ads. Since then, they have become the thing that they proved was an inferior product, and they keep out upstart competitors through market power.
It caught me ear when he mentioned wavetable synthesis because I was under the impression that wavetable synthesis was popularized in the early 2000s with the dubstep soft synths like Serum. Turns out it was an old idea make new again.
Interesting that this Ghost Producer chose a polyrhythmic tuples over 4 meter.
That's very difficult for the average listener to "find the one" downbeat.

Wonder what the thought process was behind this. Less likely to skip the track while trying to find the groove? More monetization with the short length?

> Since the outcome would provide information in the negative, it also does in the positive.

No, this doesn't follow. The two cases are not symmetric. Ruling out a phenomenon (if we assume for the sake of argument that a "negative" simulation result can actually do this--in reality things are quite a bit more complex, the simulation was not run as a binary yes/no test of a "phenomenon") rules it out. But showing that a phenomenon is possible doesn't tell you anything useful about whether it actually happens.
tl;dr There are numerous options to combat drone swarms, but all of them possess notable shortcomings.
It's a vicarious sort of fun to come across a political debate in which I'm a complete outsider with no prior knowledge, no position, and no bias.

It's like watching a loud public domestic argument between people you've never seen before and never will again.

Imagine putting the batteries in shipping containers and just using the existing cranes to swap them around

Edit: Probably wouldn't happen though. I feel like if swapping was gonna work, it would be done in smaller vehicles already
Wait, when did I say Silicon Valley folks should work 996?

I just said they should return to office if/when their employer mandates it. You think this is "being pushed around like peasants" and working 996. Come on man. It's the damn office. You know. The place everyone worked from as recent as 2020?

People in China are working 996. People here are still "working" from home and refusing to come back to the office.

A lot of spoiled workers here.

Hopefully a recession will wake them up soon.

I loved it when Elon said everyone back in the office or quit. Apple won't say this because they don't want any bad PR but they should.
I think Apple call it that simply for brand reasons. They may also avoid committing to any particular ISA as you said, but that's in parallel.
Interestingly, searching for Danni Richardson on Tidal yields the following apparently real artists:

Deanie Richardson

Danny Richardson

Dani Richardson

So, they are typo-squatting as part of the scheme.

I asssume money laundering would work by setting up Spotify accounts with stolen money (that they used to buy gift cards?), then streaming the fake songs.

Does spotify pay artists differently for paid vs free accounts? If not, then presumably they use free accounts for the bots, so it isn't really money laundering.

I guess if you get some streams from real people, then using paid bot accounts might still be a reasonably cash efficient form of money laundering.
The porting was obvious, the switching was not.

It was obvious to me, knowing that MacOS is based on NeXTStep and how that ran on a bunch of different architectures—68000, Intel, Sparc, etc.

I even wrote 3 years ago here on HN (before Apple announced their transition to ARM) that I wouldn't be surprised if there were ARM-based Macs in the lab [1].

And also knowing that Apple always wants to be in control of as much of the technology they rely on as possible. After Motorola/IBM dropped the ball with PowerPC and Intel couldn't deliver the performance per watt they needed, they weren't going to fooled a third time.

During data preprocessing it all comes from the same OSM extract, except for Pelias which also pulls data in from Who's On First, and Planetiler which also pulls data in from Natural Earth (and a few other sources).

At runtime tiles are served over the wire but everything else happens server-side. So it's a bit of everything :D
Many network owners block UDP at borders. It helps a lot in case of amplification DDOS attacks.
It’s because for all the productivity gains, we are still working 40 hours or more a week. The gains go to the owners instead of allowing the laborers to work less. Medieval peasants has more leisure time than modern workers.
I, too, as a former Los Alamos resident, immediately thought of Viola’s. I don’t have any idea how many hundreds of Christmas breakfast burritos I’ve enjoyed there. Haven’t been in years since my Dad retired from LANL and moved to ABQ.
What I did when I started was respond to job postings and offer the same contribution as an hourly service, using a weekly retainer of 10-20 hours (remote). It worked well. Companies are desperate for good engineers. I found they'll always push for more hours, but that's the nature of the game.
Reminds me of the novel The Light of Other Days by Stephen Baxter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Light_of_Other_Days

I don't generally like his style, but this novel really captivated me. Without spoiling the plot (much), the end-result of everyone being able to spy on anyone anywhere at any time is a kind of societal disinhibition, especially related to sex, nudity, or similar taboos.
Not as funny as n-gate.com, but also working in the present as opposed to having been abandoned a year ago. Underrated submission.
With the amount of lithium required in batteries for ships, and the issues with recycling them, is green hydrogen/synthetic fuel not a better option overall? Or are these options too expensive?
Potentially you are challenging one of the world's largest governments to find a way to stop it. I dunno what they can or what they will do but imagine this scenario: they sanction it in a way that you are guilty of money laundering if a copy is found on your computer -- now running the Ethereum mainnet or any fork that contains it is illegal in the United States. Do not think the DoJ won't. Refer https://xkcd.com/538/ or James Mickens' https://www.usenix.org/system/files/1401_08-12_mickens.pdf for some hilarious hard truth on what happens when cryptographic research meets a real world government agency. Also refer the old saying "never wake a sleeping lion".
What about the ML director?

You don't think Apple has anticipated that some will quit over this mandate? You don't think they have data on their employees? Or surveyed a portion of them?
When the cost of getting a new customer is the same or less than the cost of dealing with a problematic existing customer, they will become very indifferent. They do not care.

There are no extensions for developers to directly program against.
If you're looking for something like this for Japanese, Kou, has been doing great work on https://jpdb.io/ which contains many of the concepts OP's app is trying to accomplish specifically for Japanese.

In particular it has the SRS, parallel text for words, assisted study and % of content you already know.
I deleted my TC repository clones, before the shit hit the fan, when I was studying TC's use of Zero-Knowledge Proofs. I'm glad they still exist, but if not there are other repos like Zcash.

There are research papers that show that TC withdrawals can be linked to TC deposits with a good level of confidence.

I'm sure a great deal of analysis was done by the US, which led to their actions, like it or not.

There are knee-jerk reactions in the Crypto Community fearing that they will be next, and restricting access to their projects. No self-awareness of the truth about the "Decentralized" nature of their projects.

Cheers
They should really call these lists "Incorrect assumptions programmers make about X" or: "Test cases programmers should test their software against"
The bar for getting online is so much different we just get a full cross section of society. Many homeless people have internet access via a smartphone today, and in the 90s it was basically just upper middle class, rich people, and university students.
The new dystopia we created is uncanny valley all the way down isn’t it?
Personally, I like the more muted colour palettes of modern design. It makes things less busy and highlights what colour does exist.
This is a really interesting comparison! And good context. Is the hotel operating multiple restaurants from one kitchen really different (as some comments here seem to imply) because each has its own physical space? In a way that’s more “skin in the game” for a hotel vs a ghost kitchen proliferating brands bounded only by their ability to cook the food. On the other hand, that’s a pretty significant bound.

Interesting point about rents — perhaps NYers should be celebrating SV's success because it pulls away some of the high-earners who would have driven up NYC rents even further?
The impression I always got from those abstractions were that they were precisely there to support portability. Pagers, for example, are quite flexible about what can back them and what the geometry of that backing can be.
Engineer admits he stole trade secrets while working on the Apple Car
To further elaborate on your "probably never," many people like myself live quite a distance from the usual locations of both cloud servers and game servers. If you're not in the east or west coast of the US, it's probably thousands of miles. You can have the fastest gigabit fiber connection and it won't matter. Response time will never be acceptable simply because of distance and the limits of the speed of light.

I imagine that many people think internet latency is better than really it is due to the sophisticated predictive technologies currently used in games.
Just keeping the old API functional for its clients, really.
On some OSes (Linux and macOS for example) a dynamically linked executable specifies the runtime linker as its “interpreter”, and the runtime linker contains the initial entry point that the kernel starts the process’s execution from. A statically linked executable is then one that doesn’t specify any interpreter at all, and which directly receives control from the kernel.

This distinction is related to but not the same as statically or dynamically linking an individual dependency; only if all dependencies are statically linked can an executable then be statically linked.
Its not really analogous though: smaller vehicles are dominated by aerodynamic concerns, and otherwise a cargo profile that's totally different (people).

Whereas ships are dominated by the cargo profile: shipping containers.
Surely this would be a DC line, right? AC induces resistance in superconductors because it necessarily induces a changing magnetic field, iirc (or maybe that's only particular types of superconductors).

Edit: Found this, which isn't specific but refers to it as a three-phase transmission cable which implies it is indeed AC http://www.jicable.org/2007/Actes/Session_A3/JIC07_A34.pdf
This isn't new and is true of any car whether it's powered by coal or gas or hydrogen or whatever. I have the "off road" version of the truck I own. It has knobbier tires than stock but not the drive through a 6' swamp that you are picturing. I pay a MPG penalty - that I would guess is less than the range penalty for an EV, but I do so because I am in fact driving off-road or in snow on a fairly regular basis.
I'm probably missing something but how is this money laundering?
Perhaps, I don't know, my biases and schadenfreude aren't that sophisticated.
The point of these "falsehoods" threads is that programmers may not care about these niche anthropology facts, but users may care a lot.

It's not crazy to think that a user may, say, want to create a database of historical records, like when people were born, married or buried. Now I want to find out the age people were when married... suddenly, the existence of Lady Day and the time and place the dates were recorded become very important.

Tauri:

Test CPU RAM GPU
Idle 1% ~ 80MB 0%

For the comparison, Sciter:

Idle 0.01% ~ 40MB 0%

With startup time (minimal hello world) 200ms

As of memory consumption: the bulk amount is in graphics backend - Direct2D in case of Sciter. I believe the same cap applies to Tauri and Electron.
I wasn't making an argument about privacy with that statement. I said that if certain knowledge is valuable to you, then visualizations of that data would be valuable. Some people like to be watched and controlled similarly to how some people want to be ruled by rulers. I accept that as human nature. If you are watched by someone in a greater power position who wants power over you, do you think this gives them more control or power over you or not?
Thanks, appreciate the insight! I think client pub/sub is the feature request, not firebase clone :)

To that point there's definitely a few OSS solutions out there that provide this kind of functionality out of the box (recent YC alumni among them). But then who knows what problem you're trying to solve. Sounds like this is just rain on the tip of the iceberg.
Can you elaborate? This sounds like an interesting bit of early internet drama/history.
I guess what I'm saying is that it's not at all interesting or surprising that someone in 2014 prognosticated that MacOS X had been ported to ARM.

> Recently, Spotify announced their Discovery Mode program. This allows labels to discount selected parts of their catalog in return for increased promotion via Radio and Autoplay

Uggh. I wish payola were actually illegal in practice.

> So who’s really losing in this equation?

Possibly, older out of touch-artists who think music should always be something meaningful and “culturally important” and are perhaps – just slightly – butthurt that no one cares, or that other people have figured out another way to be successful.

I can't tell if this bit is dripping with sarcasm, or if the author is actually this contemptuous of musicians and this dismissive of the difficulty associated with getting "discovered" these days.

Either way, it is a fascinating article. Wouldn't have guessed that Sony was one of the leading spammers/fraudsters (see other threads on this article) in this space, or that Spotify was complicit.

This actually makes me angrier than the Sony rootkit fiasco.

Thanks for the link.
Oh yeah, isn't ARM fixed-size instructions and x86_64 is variable-size? So decoding x86_64 requires clever pipelining, whereas ARM is just "Every X bytes is an instruction" and you can parallelize easily.

I wonder if we'll see Intel or AMD try to make another somewhat-backwards-compatible ISA jump to keep up with ARM.

x86_32 --> x86_64 --> x86_512?
I mean there is a big irony that you can find Nirvana's Nevermind album on google image search too. So it looks like Google has double standards.

Stingrays and other technical things that people could do are a lot more expensive than just asking Google or Verizon for their records. Also, that kind of indiscriminate tracking is a fourth amendment violation, so the government actually can't do it legally (and the evidence gathered by such a technique can get thrown out in court). Both of those things make a big difference.

The right people to go after are the ones who are not bound by the fourth amendment and who are creating a huge pool of data that is available for the government to grab. Technical solutions that collate data have been very useful tools for government overreach over the last century. IBM's census tracking system in the 1930's is a very well-known example of this sort of technology: a well-meaning innovation that efficiently organized Germany's demographic data and made it accessible... to the Nazis who wanted to find Jews.

Here's an example of the government using data from big tech that they would never have been able to collect themselves due to the fourth amendment: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2018/11/12/18089090/amazon-ech...

Here are the stats on subpoenas, search warrants, and court orders that Google has received, showing how they have found over 80% of them to be not unreasonable: https://transparencyreport.google.com/user-data/overview?use...

If you were able to fight a subpoena for your own records (for example, because you owned the data instead of Google), I promise you that percentage would be a lot lower, solely because the incentives are different. Google doesn't particularly care about protecting you. Google cares a lot more than that about protecting its status with politicians. What this means is that they will do the minimum possible review on a subpoena for data on your account to not get sued by you.
Isn't it really easy to avoid all these fake restaurants, since the fakes only appear when you're searching for takeout? Just pretend you want to dine in, find a restaurant that you want that way, then pull it up in your takeout app of choice.

I would probably point to the fact that younger (and unlucky older people) are getting crushed under the boot of the ultrarich of the world and the falling power of the working class has reached a critical point where the rich are just pulling off their masks and basically openly murdering/destroying peoples lives with zero consequences? Also climate change... turns out it doesnt make people happy.

The "terminally online" criticism of society maybe has some water, but it is a minor blip in comparison to the above explanation. Like... barely anybody my age is having children and the ones who do have this look on them when I have a real conversation with them where they are vulnerable that they love their kids more than anything but that having kids is destroying what little quality of life they could scrape by with before. Having kids has always been hard I imagine but the look on people's faces... it says a lot about how cruel society is that it grinds people down so much that having kids hurts them like that (even when they have good jobs and stable relationships and "should" be able to handle it).

Society is broken because we have been worshipping the rich and most people's quality of life is tanking at least in the US.
