I agreed with that. Social connections were significantly destroyed last year's. Overall fear agenda in news will not helps with mental helth either. Also vaccines harm with uknown effects.

I'd assume the opposite actually.

Chips always have to be binned. But previously a chip would have to be binned down to it's worst component I guess -- if they had a chip with great CPUs but the GPUs were a little wonky, and they didn't have an appropriate processor line for that combo, they'd have to bin the whole thing down to low-tier. Now they can instead match up the good CPUs and the good CPUs.

Plus they'll be able to satisfy some of their lust for SKUs by mixing and matching tiles, rather than making a bazillion slightly bins.
It’s insane.

Prison conditions in the US are infamous for the degrading of the human experience to a point of no return.

Open rape culture, radicalization, utterly despicable behavior that even barbarians would shiver at openly covered in popular culture as fact.

As someone who grew up outside the US, it is truly astonishing how fucked up the system is.
I think that was viewed as a move towards leniency at the time, because often the crimes would previously have carried the death penalty.
Appeasing greed and a notion of vengeance. The Americans I personally know are quite punitive, and do believe in an eye for an eye, which is odd because they are also Christians (it's honestly unsurprising, they're just out of practice, I guess).

Generally I wonder if people comprehend that prisons should be (for the majority of inmates) intended to reform people; that is, to make them better and show them a better path. I'm not clear how people think throwing a bunch of criminals together in a featureless pen to lift weights, fight and fraternize is going to achieve anything. If anything, these people warrant more social investment than the average person, with the intent of educating them and building honest skills in them, so that they have new opportunities that they didn't have previously, when they made their mistakes the first time around.

I guess this sentiment is seen as sappy, unrealistic and saccharine, and of course socialist. Of course it has to be paired with having decent socialized healthcare and education, but I think we have seen in practice how the contemporary American school of thought for prisons does not work, and we have seen in other countries what is possible, and how reformist and sympathetic attitudes to incarceration, combined with strong social support generally can produce better outcomes in regards to crime.

I'm not exactly sure what point you're trying to make. However, as a member of one of those volunteer search and rescue teams, people absolutely do get themselves into trouble and need help whether it's through being unprepared or injury or etc. If someone is able to call for help when they need it using their cell phone or one of the various satellite based systems - PLB, inReach, the new iPhone or StarLink capabilities, etc. - then we are able to go directly to them and render the necessary aid. That is a rescue. The alternative is their spouse or friend or someone noticing that they haven't returned by the expected time and they then report the person missing. Hopefully the missing person has told someone where they were going and their intended route, but in any case, this becomes a search and we first have to find the person before being able to help them and this can add hours or days to the operation. Depending on the condition of the person that at a time can greatly affect the outcome.

In this regard, broader access to communication outside of cell phone coverage is a huge benefit.

Now, this isn't discussing whether people are more likely to push themselves further or do things they're not capable of or adventure alone or go out insufficiently prepared if they feel they can just push a button and get rescued if anything happens. that broader question is an important one but for the individual person being able to communicate can absolutely make a difference in whether you survive or not.
Perhaps this one?[0]

It doesn't match exact description and I also have vague memory of something similar, but not able to find it right now. Drew's post does a reasonably snarky job though :)

“Loan servicing” means the work of sending out statements, collecting payments, answering the help desk, tracking the accumulated interest, filing the tax forms, etc.
I think you have a lot of ownership over the tech. And that is a nice benefit. You make the technical and architectural decisions.

> I'm currently earning £60K a year ($70K) and I'm beginning to feel "aggrieved", everyone tells me I should.

Dont let your friends tell you what to think about your own job and salary. And £60K in the UK isnt a bad salary. I would stick with them, and maybe up your game even. If you can find a way to increase their profits or reduce their expenses you would have some leverage. SMB is a different ballgame than corporate.

Thats one of the worst things about these criminals. If there were dramatically fewer crimes it'd be easier to find out who is innocent. Or devote more resources to it.
That's not my question. There's exactly one way to ask my question.

"Do you think prisoners should be charged $250/night for their incarceration?"
Yeah, the bigger risk is just how insanely pro-ccyclical the housing market is. There are of course ups and downs in the world of software engineering but it's not like if there is a recession, all new software development is halted. Whereas in the housing market, housing starts basically fall off a cliff during a recession.
Hopefully Intel will be able to sustain their business by competing in the tiny non-macOS niche I guess.
What happens if you can't pay or refuse to pay? Do they put you back in prison?
Yeah fair enough. Clearly this is most likely just a direct result of job postings over-relying on "minimum X years of experience, no exception" clauses. If truths didn't get stretched, very few people would ever qualify for tech jobs haha
As of this comment, there are 53 occurrences of "apple" and 4 of "chiplet" in the comments here (three from the same comment).

And to comment on topic, this mix of processes, each optimised to the task at hand and all on the same package sounds perfect for Intel. But I wonder how accessible it is for regular TSMC customers. We've had chiplet presentations, I don't recall anything like this being offered, despite requiring extremely high bandwidth for our application.
I'm pretty sure this price is before taxes (and maybe more payments) and german taxes are pretty heavy, ca. 30% of the consumer price is taxes and stuff, ~25% go to the network operator and only ~45% are power generation[1](~the prices in the visualization). So you have to roughly double that to get consumer €/kWh (ofc daily prices are a bit different than a contract over a whole year).

Ask HN: What is the best way to aggregate news headlines?
"the transportation of convicts to his Majesty's colonies and plantations in America ... is found to be attended with various inconveniences," - one of the ways the British parliament described the American war of independence, Marilyn C. Baseler, "Asylum for Mankind": America, 1607-1800, p.124-127 via Wikipedia.
So if I was heading a project and we had one CI provider and someone suggested adding another, my response would be either "no", or try to have the benefits of this alternative service explained to me. And if it is better, would only accept the new one if we converted all old pipelines over to it. Is that wrong?

curl has 7???? I would love to understand why. The article has "reasons", but not many justifications. Load balancing is understandable. "not all eggs in the same basket" less so to me. Are they running identical suites on multiple providers? If so, what's the plan when one suite fails on one but works on another?

Just seems mad to me. "If this is stuff you like to tinker with, we could use your help" best of luck with that!
Here's the biggest one. There will be a reduction in the maximum percentage of a borrower's income that they will need to pay per month for a loan and a reduction in the number of years until the debt is wiped out.

Colleges are going to be looking at this and deciding they can charge whatever they want - no one is ever going to have to pay it back. Whatever limits are in these laws (sorry, rules, this isn't a law), they will charge up to those limits, whatever loopholes there are in these rules, they will find them.

Take a look at how law schools are working the existing loan forgiveness programs. That's going to be every college now. I'm too old to switch careers, and I'm not a psychopath, but this makes me want to completely drop any moral scruples I have and get into the education fraud business. People are going to get filthy, and technically legally, rich.
> 1. Some substances that are detrimental to human health need to be controlled.

I'd rather the law be more around information than control. If one believes in the idea of freedom and liberty in the US, then one should support a model where individuals are allowed to make their own decisions, but ensure the facts around such substances are well researched and publicized.

Alcohol kills, and yet is not actually very well controlled at all. Marijuana doesn't kill anyone directly, and yet the lies told about it has kept it tightly controlled, even as the real facts continue to come out.

I don't believe the government really has any obligation to keep us safe from our own poor decisions, assuming those poor decisions can be argued to be have been informed using truthful information.
I don’t mean to be rude, but why is this news worthy? Much less being on HN?
Why stop at trees? I imagine you could do an alternate reality app for landscaping that shows you what your landscape "could look like". Including flower beds, ground cover alternatives to grass, etc.
Okay he edited and added the /s after my comment.

This is very impressive technology, but I'm not sure what I'd use it for, to be honest. Does this technology have support for VR? Because I could see how this could be the future of doing computationally intensive tasks on under powered devices.
Do we not know ....
You could just as easily say that government causes 95% of monopolies. Regulatory compliance is almost universally a fixed cost to a business, and large fixed cost structures are the defining characteristic of a natural monopoly market. That's also the reason why small public IPOs disappeared after Sarbox...small corporations can't handle the cost of regulatory compliance.

Regulation can prevent monopolies, but it can just as easily enable them. And lack of regulation can allow monopolies to form, but they can also allow markets to commoditize. Quality of regulation will always matter more than quantity.

Show HN: Hangman meets Wordle webapp in Angular
Hey HN,

I am a novice web developer, and I built a new webapp game in Angular that combines the game play of Hangman and Wordle. I chose this project because I wanted to learn Angular, while also developing something useful.

I have some prior backend experience. And, I was pleasantly surprised with how much you can achieve in the pure JS/Typescript these days. For my app, the backend only sends the daily puzzle data in JSON, while the entire game logic and interactions are completely implemented in the frontend. I wrote around 4000 lines of the frontend code for this project.

For me, the best part was RxJS integration in Angular. It also had a fair amount of learning curve. However, once you have learned the basics, it saves a lot of redundant boilerplate code and makes the code more readable and clean.

You can play the game for free and there is no sign-up required: https://10letters.app

The game does not save any user data at the server. All data is saved in the local storage. So, you can play the game again in the incognito mode, or after clearing your browser cache.

If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to add them in the comments.

Thanks!

Are there are lot of people in prison for illegal gun possession / dealing?

Yes. Tons of petty criminals and low level nonviolent felons are behind bars because whatever they were doing it they did it while packing heat or had a gun in their possession when their door got kicked in.

Packing while committing some other crime is a felony by itself in many places and in the case of federal crimes (e.g. drug trafficking) a multiplicative effect on your max sentence and raises the minimum by a ton. Many/most states also have laws that copy the federal law.

This is why why drug dealers who've made it big pay someone else to pack for them and/or store their product as soon as their business can support that.
For anyone wanting to learn more about this breeding technique, it's called backcrossing[1]. It's also used for agricultural crops, but requires many generations.

It's not a race to the bottom. There are MUCH better ones as well, and maybe we should be striving to be enlightened instead of being better than a couple of shitholes.

There are a lot of known disease mechanisms and tests. Just not known to most doctors who don’t keep up with the latest research, or even research in the last few decades. Also as it’s cross disciplinary it often gets placed in the too hard basket and passed on to some other specialty.

Because the post I was replying to disagreed with the decisive nature of the conflict.

> Why does it matter if it was decisive or not?

It goes against the entire theory of the book - if it's argument was true, why did it take centuries to ultimately conquer the americas?
You might assume that, but it would be a questionable assumption. Opium was banned in China (where is was used by ordinary denizens of that country, not minorities) well before the West followed suit.
You can exchange "We will never know" for anything that we currently think of as impossible then.
> do people in your group (Swedish speakers from Finland) culturally identify more closely with Swedes from Sweden, or with (the rest of) Finnish people?

They're definitely Finlanders. Rooting for Finland in Finland - Sweden sportsball games, general disdain for Swedes as "sissies", etc, etc.

Source: I'm an immigrant from Sweden to Finland; my son is a Finland-Swede.

Alternative source: I think I've read somewhere on the internet (or seen in some YouTube video?) an offhand quip along those same "Sissy Sweden-Swedes" lines by the internationally most well-known -- at least among the kind of people frequenting HN, I'd assume -- Finland-Swede, Linus Torvalds.
Unfortunately for those people, they hadn’t formed a state or anything approaching one, and were still busy fighting each other along tribal lines. I suppose the colonists could have tried a deal with the largest tribe at the time, who could have then imposed their agreement on the other tribes by force.
Years ago, I got a speeding ticket. I worked nights at the time, and the office to make the payment at had very strange hours because it was from a tiny town. My schedule made it difficult to make it over to the office during open hours, and one of the times I tried it was closed randomly over lunch because again, small town. (I learned later there was only one person who ran the whole office.)

A day after my speeding ticket payment was due, I was pulled over, arrested for driving on a suspended license (quite roughly, I might add), and hauled to jail, where they booked me, processed me, and charged me thousands upon thousands of dollars for the privilege of being arrested. The whole process was structured around profit.

It absolutely demolished my meager savings account at the time, and damn near kept me from being able to attend the code bootcamp I was enrolled in. It taught me a serious lesson about the law: They exist only for power and profit. The entire experience cost me over $3000 for a speeding ticket of 5 mph over the stated limit. I've got a nice little arrest mention on my criminal record now, though, so that's nice.
To your point 1. no one is disputing that they need to be controlled. Alcohol is controlled, tobacco is controlled. The point is that making the illegal is an extreme way of controlling them (that doesn’t work).

Guns also need to be controlled (in my opinion way more that they currently are) but that doesn’t mean that I am advocating for them to be illegal.
No, not all high voltage is above ground.
Plenty of countries, especially in Asia, but also the UAE and possibly others, have successfully stopped nearly all drug use and trade with heavy-handed policies.

You may not like what it took to get done, but it did work. I'm not advocating for the heavy-handed approach, but it's intellectually dishonest to say that it can't work.

Also, the other countries have done it with a much smaller imprisonment per capita.
Look at how many people will lose their jobs if this shuts down. The people who support this are often just happy to see minorities and poor people get fucked if it means their stupid brother in law stays on at the local prison. They view these people as human waste, so they don't care how much they get hurt, as long as their people are getting something out of it. Trying to stop this means figuring out how to unfuck these people's mentality. That is even harder than stopping drugs.
In Sweden the officially reported number is about $110k/year/prisoner or about $300/day/prisoner. Your comment makes me think I should try to sanity-check that number.

(And no, we don't charge them the cost afterwards.)

I absolutely think we should buy these services from other EU countries where costs are lower. I don't get why the EU single market legislation shouldn't apply to this.
Cost is a bit of a problem: each HVDC edge costs a lot, hence why it’s used almost entirely for long distance point to point links.

Maybe that will come down over time?
Could you expand on the reasons for it being able to be free?

I had no idea until just now that it was free. TIL
I dispute that we have a reasonable idea of how many native americans it killed, because we have no idea how many pre-Columbians there were.

It mentions a possible set of dip switches and a 7 segment LED. You could make a puzzle game of "lights out" where only a certain combo of switches would have all the segments off.
Marx identifies 5 functions of money in the 3rd chapter of Capital Vol 1 called "Money," not to mention the expanded treatment of money by Capital Vol 3.

It's unclear what you think Marx said on "how" to end capitalism and how this relates directly to his theory of money.
If eat-in restaurants become less viable, they will start to die off until enough are left to bring their viability back up (more people interested in eating per restaurant). We can't keep business open for the sake of the few who want to feel good about them existing, unless they serve a crucial role, which I don't think can be said about restaurants. If people strongly prefer cloud kitchens, there's no economic point to expensive, seat-in restaurants.

That being said, the seat-in scene in London seems to be thriving, though I'm curious if the inflation is hitting them (or us, the diners).
Its very simple calculation really. Just look at the rest of the world if you're blinded by existing US system. 10s of countries have solved both of these problems in strikingly similar ways (similar as in similar for each problem not across the problems). So, why is US different? Answer: It's not. Majority of US folks need to just grow up to the fact that US humans aren't different than ROW humans and accept what data has been saying to them for generations. No point in being an outlier and trying to defend it tooth and nail.
Imagine if we decriminalized every "crime" that didn't have a victim. We might actually be able to prevent more real crime, like violent crime and sexual assault and large-scale theft and fraud!
Did you know whole million you taking about? Generalisations won't helps here.
The sensible answer.
Is it actually a given that these C functions could fail? It is certainly not apparent from their function signatures, as you already mention. :) If it just writes to some memory mapped I/O registers then it might well not be possible to fail that (unless writing memory in general has become impossible, but at that time no software will save you anymore).

In any case let's not judge the writers too harshly for omitting some error checking in the very first complete example they provide in the manual. The typical introductory "hello world" program also doesn't contain error handling to check if writing to stdout succeeded or not. A real CoPilot program could (and should!) have a separate stream for checking `heaterStatus` and raise a separate alarm if the status of the heater does not update when it should.
Sadly it's even worse in Australia, where it's closer to 10x the rate for indigenous vs non-indigenous. I'd be horrified to find out they were expected to pay for their time behind bars though.
The original thread comment asked if this was a thing before "Apple Silicon", that's what I was referring to; I've seen it before, and not just years before but over a decade before, possibly even two decades.

As such it's not something Apple PR invented, but rather hijacked.
Depends on the use case, but for emergency use and sending check-ins it’s quite cheap. I pay about $10/month for the peace of mind and feel that’s reasonable.
