Not really for automotive emissions. The US alone accounts for almost half the world's road CO2 emissions.
> What does having texts with some degree of interpretation have to do with whether those texts are true or not? Sounds like a genetic fallacy.

You are putting words in my mouth. I said texts that are vague and open to a lot of interpretation can cause a lot of issues. Especially when those interpretations are used to make life choices and doubly so when making choices about others.

> My claim is that without religion, we'd be in a far off worse place.

Please provide evidence for this. Clearly one can have ethics and morals without religion. Note: showing that some atheists did something wrong is not evidence of that. Oh and btw there is more than theism and atheism. I wouldn't describe myself as an atheist. Do I know that there is no such thing as a god? Nope. All I know is that I really can't subscribe to that believe personally but who am I to claim either way. I can still strive to be a good member of society.
> Everyone lives off others. I'm also autistic, anti-work, and believe any government only giving food to some, instead of offering it to all, is already oppressive.

Why the need to tell us you’re autistic? It doesn’t justify nor is it a defense for how brazenly you brag about abusing the welfare state.

>Use whatever means necessary to meet those dreams if it harms nobody. Moralizing others actions along the way and catering to magical should-based thinking are efforts in futility.

No one can force you to be better. Only you can control what you do. Absolutely.

There are real families and single mothers in need. A grown, able bodied person bragging about abusing the system because they don’t feel they’re “harming anybody” really is shameful and embarrassing. But as you said, you choose to live “shamelessly”.

Merit order prices for electricity are set by the price of the most expensive source, ehich is currently gas.

There's good reasons for this in normal times. But at the moment various non-gas suppliers are getting windfall profits because of random world events.

Generally you dont want to micromanage things because it makes businesses nervous, but if Margaret Thatcher can do windfall taxes, so can the next PM.

At the very least we should stop subsidizing the fossil fuels.
> It seems fishy to me that the tech company that's been the most (publicly) vocal about not providing the feds back door access into their products is the first one to be targeted for antitrust.

It seems fishy to me that the largest American company offers a wish in one hand and spit in the other. In other words, I don't buy the narrative that Apple is resisting the US government in any significant capacity, if they were then they wouldn't be the White House's prize hen. The only way you get to this level of power is with the government on your side. Same goes for Microsoft, Google, Amazon... all of them hire hundreds of lobbyists to help push the needle in their respective directions. Since we already know Apple complies with the same surveillance policies as the rest of FAANG, what are we holding out for? Tim Cook to rip off his flannel and reveal a Superman costume underneath? I just don't see the hope.

As for the antitrust side of this, I think it's totally straightforward. The DOJ is coming for their 30% cut, and Apple's not getting away until they stop blocking independent payment processors.

"Size" of economy is not a real metrics.

On the other hand, take Russia that does not really do much of global market high-margin services economy, but has sustainable enough industries.

> I don't think this is true in CS. Universities outside of an elite set really struggle to hire and retain high quality faculty. [...] Some of this is due to industry -- high-quality faculty candidates tend to also have 3x-5x offers in industry, and it's hard to turn down a guaranteed early retirement for the grind and uncertainty of the tenure track.

That seems to just confirm that resources are lacking. There's no shortage of people, but there's a shortage of money to pay them.

I honestly never cared for Hossenfelder's science communication. She's far too dismissive and dishonest in representing theoretical views she disagrees with. And I don't necessarily have the physics understanding to pick these biases out too easily.

I think Sean Carroll for instance does a much better job at this when he interviews people whose views he disagrees with in his podcasts, which happens quite frequently.
Apple Silicon is magnitudes more efficient. It cannot be explained by node size alone. TSMC 5nm is 15%-25% higher performance or 30% lower power compared to TSMC 7nm.

Also, Apple's 7nm chips outperformed AMD/Intel 7nm chips.

There is an energy crisis across all regions of Europe; disrupting trade may help some places but hurt others much more and would make it worse in aggregate, so EU treaties prohibit that.

I mean, whenever electricity is being exported at high cost, that high cost is an indication that this other place has it even worse; and blocking trade would make electricity cheaper at the exporting place, but cause a larger spike (and possibly even blackouts with the associated economic disruption) at the importing place and also remove the economic incentives to increase surplus production at places who can do it cheaper than others.

Presumably some sort of satellite connection will become true at some point--at which point the devil will be in the details. If it's a subscription offering (which it's reasonable to assume it will be), it's not clear to me that you wouldn't be better off carrying a separate rugged device like a Garmin Spot if the point is to maintain text contact under most circumstances.
Who says they wouldn't have purchased the product? I've been hoping that Slack would provide communities like mine better plans or options to support them and access some of the improved features.

But, this move makes it pretty clear they're never going to, so I'm finally going to bite the bullet and set up Matrix.

[Just to add to this, I've had my users asking me why we're on Slack when everybody else is on Discord. (Most of us use Slack at work, so it's convenient in that sense.) I've been interacting with the company since Glitch/Tiny Speck. But, with pushback from users and from the company, at this point I just can't justify Slack for our particular use case.]

So the first blog entry I randomly looked at:

https://pldb.com/posts/does-every-programming-language-suppo...

is about line comments. C gets credit for the // comments, starting in 1972, but that's not really accurate. BCPL -- which begat B which begat C -- had // comments but they were not included in C until C99. C++ (which isn't included in their top 30 languages) brought back // comments from BCPL sometime between 1979 and 1985 (the first public release of cfront). Many C compilers included // comments as an extension prior to C99 but those were inspired by C++.
i'd like that the channels i m subscribed to to has more influence on my feed.

> Religious people who conceive of God as the creator, believing that the word 'creator' refers to the creation of the universe at some point in the past, are completely misunderstanding the use of the word and need to do some more homework.

Can you explain what you mean here - I couldn’t follow
Right. That’s one reasons why transporting electricity by truck is a terrible idea.
For example https://eu.usatoday.com/story/money/nation-now/2018/10/15/pg... - these are normally buried elsewhere.
Great points. I’m honestly fine with the 10k-20k forgiveness if there were any effort whatsoever to stop this absurd price gouging by colleges.

Colleges have put millions of Americans in indentured servitude and the US government has responded by giving then an even bigger subsidy.
Apple successfully monopolized the 5nm node by buying out all of TSMC's manufacturing capability at that node size. Characterizing it as "anyone who makes something way better than the competition" is a strawman portrayal of the underlying issue at hand.
Let's grant everything you state here about Trump and Kushner to be true. I'm not arguing against that. Yes, it's all bad. All of it. No citations necessary. I believe you.

I really want to know this: Given that your news sources have demonstrably lied to you, how are you making the determination that some things are not important and other things are important. How are you deciding that?

For instance, that the FBI may have influenced the election is not important information, but that Jared Kushner's business dealings are important.

Just, how do you make that evaluation?
There are.

But there are also commercial kitchen spaces you can rent. They've taken care of the inspections and permits for the food preparation facilities. You pay an hourly rate to use the facilities. Then all you have to do is make sure that your employees have their food handler's permits (a simple matter) and you're good to go.

I think this is more of a moot point, as all this proves is that there are differences between the your C stdlib and Bolin's stdlib.

There are always going to be tradeoffs -- as your article admits, the differences themselves come down to a 1 cycle difference, which would show up as about 1ms. If performance is really critical for an application, things like this are more than capable of being rewritten in an optimized form rather than relying on the standard library, which understandably doesn't try to cater to every use case. Or in other words, when performance is a concern, C is more than capable of providing the necessary tools to achieve it.

I don't think a comparison like this will convert anyone from C to Bolin. Where a possible argument may be made is that Bolin is a better language, and argue for the design decisions that were made in its implementation. Even so, people are bound to disagree, and the bottom line is that while C is imperfect, that's what makes it perfect.

C does not enforce rules on how its authors thought code ought to be written, and neither does C enforce one type of memory management over another. C has no preference over the way packages are managed, and neither does C prefer one standard library over another. C is unopinionated: it lets you do whatever you want to do however you want to do it.
No, we don't, because we have no remotely accurate numbers on the pre-Columbian population.

The reason we have reasonably accurate measures of the mortality of the Black Death in medieval Europe is some areas kept written records of who died and who didn't. Yet the mortality rate of that is still in dispute.
Science is not a religion. Scientists are not holymen as evidence by the constant questioning of their theories by other scientists. That's the whole thing science is about! Relentless checking of hypothesis through experiments that match reality.

I agree strongly with you that we need a solution to these problems as currently we don't have one. I disagree though that we cannot hope to find one. Hope dies last :)

It seems likely someone managing a handful of employees doesn't decide salaries. If his unders left mostly for salary reasons, I don't see how that reflects badly on him.

"Doctor, my head hurts when I hit it with this hammer. What can I do?"
On a tangent, I read that 500 Russian soldiers die daily. Given that they are 19-22 old, I expect a huge gender disbalance in the coming generation. So yeah, pressure on Russian women to be "beautiful" (whatever that means to the dating market) will increase. Kind of cynical to advertise a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Moore's 1965 paper was literally about "the complexity for minimum component costs" [1]. So you're right that transistors on a chip is more applicable then just die density. But as too often nowadays you left out the "minimum cost" aspect. Moore's law is not only about tech performance, it's about economics. Everybody knew the "minimum cost" part would fall the first, and it did.

When the least cost offering improves, when things get better and cheaper, everyone follows. The lowering cost per function increases the addressable market, which can then sustain increasing investments. This is the virtuous cycle that moved the industry forward for a long time.

When the economic part stops, when you can get more transistors but only at a higher cost, then the virtuous cycle stops. Technical progress do continue, but you will have less players at each new step: only those who can absorb the increasing costs will keep on playing at the leading edge. And production costs will still rise. If the market gets smaller due to increasing prices, and the production cost keep on raising, you will see a slow down as it will take more time to amortize investments.

The big players are worried about this: slow down has in itself the specter of followers catching up (eventually...), leading to commoditization. We're definitely not there yet, but it's not a good perspective. Definitely bad for their stock. So the cost has been taken out. At first the NRE part was dropped of the equation, to consider only the cost per transistor. For this one can also be creative: considering the fabs amortization, or after? Makes a big difference (see the issue car makers have in getting new investments at "old" nodes: message from the big guys is move to smaller nodes, even if it's not always convenient). But in the end it's been simpler to just drop the least cost aspect completely. The industry PR had good results on this ;)

For small to medium fabless players, Moore's law has been over for a while. For the biggest players it's also over now: there's still technical progress on transistors per device, but at an increasing cost.

It's not always a smooth process: if you're an Apple, you can gain on the cost by going vertical (good-bye Intel margin). But it's a bold move not for all, and it's a one off gain.

Moore's law is over. Tech progress is not. For HN readers who can afford the increasing cost of the devices and are reading regularly from the big silicon vendors that "Moore's law is still going strong yoo-hoo", when it's been neutered to transistors count only, it may be easy to miss.

> Alternatively you print out the backup codes.

But those are per site right?

Re hardware and that above is not something for most people:

Yeah I agree. Something like https://uni.horse/notes/solo-key-backups.html, but it shouldn’t be a solution for most people.

But I still think the backup story is flawed, and could be improved to work in a easy and secure way:

Using some easy vendor GUI tool, with a simple clone button:

1: Generate on-hardware webauthn master key on device A.
2: Generate on-hardware key-par on device B
3: Export B’s public key to A
4: Encrypt A’s private key with B’s public key
5: Export encrypted master key to B
6: Decrypt on B

But I guess we ideally would want some standardized protocol for doing this so you can do cross vendor backup.

This is US site. Apple is US company. The biggest company in the world, source of so much pride. So tons and tons and tons of fanboyism here is inevitable. I'd say most of it is damn well earned.

That said, fanboyism makes people blind and uncritical, and (at least to me) its apparent company like Apple needs some good old criticism, rather than blind worship. Otherwise they will fall (if not fallen) into "we know whats best for you and you have no say in it" like with cough cough "child porn" filters or battery-gate.

I truly honestly don't trust their "we are more secure" marketing pitch, especially as non-US person.

At the end, its just another corporation driven by huge army of managers with main focus on salaries and bonuses. The idea that they are somehow morally better than everybody else when they keep hiring from companies like Facebook is pretty dangerous and goes back to beginning of my post.
You can compare yourself to others to some extent as part of a [life long] learning process but make it productive: don't go too far and extract a few key points that are viable for your own improvement at this point in time and apply them. Do it again. You have lots of time at 23. You don't have to start coding at age five to be a descent software engineer, but it will take a few years, possibly a decade. Who knows, maybe the next Carmack started later too.
You have to believe the claims of the former, while you can verify the claims of the latter yourself.
Ask HN: What's the “Best” Commuter Backpack?
Pre-pandemic I endured a daily commute of nearly two hours, door-to-door, from Long Island into Manhattan. These days I don't commute as frequently, but the experience has instilled in me an apprecation for a backpack that can carry almost anything I can possibly need from a laptop and pens to aspirin and duct tape.

My Nomatic backpack has served me extraordinarily well for a few years, but its age is showing and it's time for a potential upgrade.

So I ask you, hacker community: do you have any suggestions?
