I want to know if it is worth watching a series while it's airing.

It may not be fair, but I have more important things to do with my time than give mind share to mega corp projects which are poorly executed.

These aren't some small teams labours of love which I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to.
Was this a carbon thing in Germany?

In Spain it seems to be more targeted to compensating people for the higher prices, not for environmental reasons. And as such I question the targeting at such a specific group.
These have been a thing for as long as I can remember.
I think we get excited by big ideas, and things that sound like big ideas. That makes us a great sounding board. On another forums it'd be 'i like amazon, down vote' or 'i don't need that, ignore'.

At least here, we move on perceived merit, however superficial
Sometimes it's for retrocomputing purposes. Using the old hardware is the whole point.
There are definitely black people in Middle Earth, even in the movies.
I'd agree as far as the "i" part of "iPhone" goes. In my opinion, the internet is right up there with the greatest inventions in human history.
I was there as well. I witnessed the announcement of OpenMoko, iPhone, Android, drooled over Nokia Internet Tablets that were way outside my price range, browsed discussions about them on Slashdot like crazy. Got excited over rumors about a smartphone from Apple just to be extremely disappointed once it actually arrived. There really wasn't anything revolutionary in actual devices, the whole "revolution" was cultural and marketing-induced. The craze over iPhones wouldn't have happened at all without iPods being as popular as they were, and other smartphones were already heading towards everything Apple did anyway. There was a period of time where Apple was actually bringing some innovations to the table a few years later, but that didn't last long anyway.
Exactly. I can not remember all of the isolation levels for each type of database engine but I know what can go wrong and that my application has to be somewhat aware of them. I have to research each particular engines' isolation level against my application requirements every time. Yet, I manage to forget the behavior of the common ones readily despite having studied them in-depth numerous times.
> mandatory diversity

For everyone except East Asian males. They are generally not allowed into the diversity club unless they're playing a martial arts expert.

East Asian women get casted because, well, at least they're women. Maybe they can find themselves a nice non-East Asian boyfriend in the movie. East Asian men can go and screw themselves.

God forbid if they included a conservative older white male who isn't portrayed as a heinous villain.

You have to remember that the woke writers are not striving for real diversity, they are striving to placate the cultural elite on Twitter and look good in front of their woke friends. It is a status contest.

I think this is all part of the reason why "woke" shows get canned so hard. It is so obviously contrived and not reflective of real life. They are not making timeless content.
> Do processors ever have sub-elements that run at a higher clock

Yes, this is called a "clock domain"; there may be quite a lot of them, and they can often be powered off individually.

> I can imagine trying to hack this sort of thing by putting some sort of subprocessor structure that does addition for a particular set of registers at twice normal speed

It's the other way round: a particular arrangement of logic elements, at a particular size and on a particular wafer process, at a particular temperature, will have a worst-case timing. That timing determines how fast you can possibly clock that part of the circuit.

Adders are annoying because of carry: you can't determine the top bit until you've determined the effect of carry on all the other bits. So if it takes, say, 250ps to propagate through your 32-bit adder, you can clock that at 4GHz. If you widen it to 64 bits that takes 500ps, and now you can only clock that bit at 2GHz.
Because it’s not the core audience.

People who care about the lore and source material are insignificant compared to the amount of people who just enjoy a lavish production in a medieval fantasy setting.

Clearly Amazon is targeting the people who enjoyed the movies and want a similar experience in a TV show format. Most don’t really care that it conforms to what Tolkien wrote. Heck, I’m probably unusual compared to the average watcher in that I have actually read LotR and the Silmarillion as a teenager and I don’t care about fidelity to the source material.
As a sort of related piece, I recently read the book Rising Sun by Michael Crichton (1993). In the book he describes a future where the Japanese effectively become global hegemon, dividing American industry into pieces that are easily bought by Japanese conglomerates, all of whom are years ahead of the Western world in regards to technology.

It's a fun piece of media that projects a future that didn't happen, and even more interestingly, was really the opposite of what happened.

The book played on fears of American inferiority to the rise of eastern nations, and is a great reminder that no matter what we may think of as true now may not be the case in the future.

Hearing about how far Japan has fallen behind in the technology race really brings to mind the fact that at one point, everyone was afraid that Japan would take over the world with its high tech industries.

Worth a read just for how wrong Crichton really got it.
I'm not sure this is necessarily a hit piece. There have been a few high profile cases of psychedelic therapists in countries like Canada being investigated for questionable practice. At the moment we're in a bit of a wild west where the actual procedures surrounding the use of these drugs as treatment are not standardised.
OTOH, I remember a black colleague created quite a sensation when he traveled in a non-touristic part of China..

That said, 'historical fictions' are usually much more fiction than historical.
I have to admit that I did chuckle a little at some of the 10/10 quotes ( caps preserved ):

<< As a REAL Tolkien fan, I couldn't have asked for any better. Anyone who complains otherwise isn't a Tolkien fan, but a Peter Jackson fan, and can't accept someone new showing their creative vision for the lore.

<< They STORY is ALSO EXCELLENT IF you LISTEN! (Abhorrently, that seems so infinitely difficult for some to do). TRUE, that there is a much longer than necessary scene 2/3's of the way through which almost put me to sleep (and it is the reason I am not giving this a 10)

<< As said above, I will not deny there is some mediocrity, but I cannot fathom why/how a massive 30% of all the ratings are 1 stars... does not seem genuine to me.

<< This is honestly already on par or better than game of thrones

<< Listen...we know it is not book accurate. Much of The Lord of The Rings and Hobbit movies (modern era non cartoon versions) weren't either. NO length of television show or movie could capture what Tolkien put on pages. So GET OVER IT.

I agree they should have kept at least few 1s for pretends.
Apt comparison, if you've ever worked in construction: platform home designs use re-usable elements that are requirements- / market-driven, with designers and structural engineers as part of the process. All architecture programs mix engineering and design / aesthetics tracks, both of which are covered on the ARE exams (loosely speaking).

Discussions regarding PE-style certification for software development often get stuck in the mud, but I'd wager that we'll see something emerge in this generation for general development (as it already exists for safety-intensive applications). And crypto may actually increase the demand for formal proofs and other deep CS concepts.

Your CS prof may have made the remark with some degree of disdain, though there are quite a few programmers / developers out there making better money than a college prof (excluding those working in private consultation).
You still spend 1% of your time thinking about what glue to pick (which I didn't say was easy), and 99% of your time applying the glue.

Complexity management is a nice name. But again, it's only 1% of what you think about in a typical job. The rest is applying duct tape and glue.
Thanks for that - brilliant article, resonated a lot with me and my situation!
Oo, cheers, will check that out, sounds highly relevant!
I argue this is stuff you should always expect from a functioning state - education and health services. And especially because they are universal, they would buy voting support from... everyone?
I didn't even knew about Kiwi Farms until today. You might be totally right about the article. Only wanted to point out that the journalist lately been known to happily present altered evidence. I will checkout the Wikipedia entry, though
>Instead, go read a full review written by a trusted curator.

That's the point, trusted curators have been drifting further and further from what the majority of people find good for a long time.

What critics find good and what the target audience finds good are not the same: https://youtu.be/eFRWDZBH8Dc?t=745
And that's a reference to the (now deprecated) reference image of Lena scanned from Playboy magazine.
Based on what exactly? If anything the only complaint you can make is that the 2 episodes we got so far just dragged out the world building way too much.

We had almost 2 and a half hours of content and it doesn’t seem we’re even done with the introduction to the gang that would become fellowship of the rings ;)
Such things are very regional yeah. I live in Spain and there drivers are respectful because cyclists have nowhere else to go.

In the Netherlands where I'm from we frown on cyclists on the road because there's excellent cycle lanes they should be using. The problem is the "sporty" types that think they're too good for those and use the main road instead.
My issue with the show has nothing to do with the “woke” stuff mentioned here. I don’t like it because none of the heroes are likable. All of them have some form of sticking it to the man and doing what they want as their story line. True heroes are self-sacrificial and reluctant. Contrast Galadriel who acts like a self righteous dickhead with Aragorn who was reluctant to accept his calling spent and three movies proving himself to be worthy of honor and love and then going to what he thought was certain death to give Frodo a chance to destroy the ring. The gender or race of the characters in TRoP is not the point. It’s that they’re all unlikable because they don’t love and respect others.
I disagree Spanish might be a "easier" language but it's arguably much better to learn the harder more used language than trying to take the easier route. Not to mention the ideas that are expressed in English and Spanish differ greatly. Things like gender don't make any sense to me as a native English speaker but that makes agender way easier for me. That's a shallow difference but there are a lot more especially when you approach technical areas. Few language contain deep technical words. I think English, Chinese, German, french as go examples. And that's not to say other languages cannot develop those vocabs but they don't exist now, and inventing from scratch is really hard
Don't turn literature into politics, is much more important.
Because from a economical business point:

* You're getting old and your not spending as much money.
* Getting 5$ from 100.000.000 people is better than getting 50$ 1.000.000 people. Especially if you can do it at lower costs.
* Getting in new audiences to keep the franchise alive and healthy
* And last but not least the average consumer is not interested in it being "true" to some kind of book or whatever. It has to make sense, but not in a true to the original author kind of way.
What? What makes you think that
I got a ton of free Nokia phones back in the day through these weird incentive programs. I was told at a meetup by one of the employees that each Microsoft division was to get N number of new apps in their local store each quarter, and they’d have developer programs along the line of “publish 5 Windows Phone apps, get a free Lumia phone.”

There were zero requirements other than publish N number of apps, there was zero form of quality control. I was a freshman in college at the time, could barely code my way out of a leetcode at that point and I’d have five calculator-esque apps ready to go whenever my local Microsoft division dropped a Tweet saying a new program was live since there was only a limited amount of phones.

Felt real good for me and my buddies but ironically we were left with phones that had these junk riddled app stores, amazing hardware devices though.

But yeah, Balmer did great developing the B2B side of things, consumer devices wasn’t it.
>the show is not faithful to the source material.

I think it actually is pretty faithful to it.
There is not a lot of sources for the 2nd age from Tolkien and they did a great job with what was there.

Most of the bad reviews are just trolls screeching about some political agenda that is completely ubrelated to the show.
I don't blame review sites for deleting "outrage reviews". I really don't think they say anything about the quality of the thing, just that there is some current rage going on. These are usually deleted on Steam too, in fact I think they have some kind of algorithm to detect when it is happening. I don't think such reviews should really be counted in the same category as normal reviews since they are just based on outrage rather than the actual content
Job ads for YC companies are common on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#jobads

There was a big thread on the lack of comments a few days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32585801) and several more over the years, see e.g. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
This is a very astute comment. We are living in some kind of Twilight Zone environment right now. Corporations purchase IP for decades-long, popular franchises, then deliberately alienate their core audience. Then they act as if all these people they just deliberately pissed off aren't real people. Words like "brigading" are a clever way to dehumanize your critics.
Why does it apply only to relationships with Palestinians and not with Israeli citizens?

People who are born and live in Israel's occupied territories are barred from Israeli citizenship due to their ethnic and religious background. That's apartheid.
Off-topic but the wording in that ad struck me as odd.

May as well go with something more direct like "Flexport is hiring big-ego no-lifers".
-> SWEs for being economically rational actors

It's okay just to say that you like the money. You don't always have to use the largest words. It's also okay for someone to say that software engineers are paid lots of money. Perhaps too much.

-> how about starting a semiconductor company where people are paid more?

I'm assuming you're being facetious given the enormous logistical and financial costs of starting a somewhat up-to-date semiconductor company. But, maybe that's the point.
> Android was a choice. Not the obvious one. Seriously how many Android manufacturers are really successful? Samsung? Google? Pretty much everyone else is completely interchangeable in the crowd of low cost devices.

> LG, HTC, Sony …etc have all but disappeared and they all chose Android.

Yeah, but that took a decade or more. Going with Windows was an insta-death. Going with Android would have given them at least a decade to decide on a strategy.

Windows over Android was an insane choice, no matter which angle you look at it from.
It always bugged me that delivering far away gave more money than delivering close by.

So if you have two oil rigs and two refinery, one each on opposite corners of the map, you are better off making the oil cross the whole map than the obviously more efficient way of connecting each oil rig with the neighboring refinery.

Anyway, still an outstanding game!
Still, it would be pretty handy. For example a good Zsh linter could warn you if you use a Bashism that isn't valid in Zsh, or it could switch to Posix mode if you set `emulate sh`, or warn you when an autoload function file is missing its function call at the bottom, etc.
Oh yes the "together mode". We tried that out once and it was sluggish and didn't add much. I haven't seen it used in the whole last year.

But you're right. The saying is true. "Microsoft is better at talking to your boss than you are."

Oops didn’t even think Good call.
Young technologies can progress exponentially (Moore's law, Wright's law,...) with the right factors in place, so be careful when extrapolating progress over the next decade using the last decade. How much progress in neural-network-based image recognition has been made in 2002-2012, and how much in 2012-2022?
Pareto tells us that 0.1% of people account for 38% of the money.

Intentionally aggravating your most passionate fans is a moronic business plan — like a mobile game that intentionally pisses off the “whales” to pursue casuals.
the show deserves 3/4 at best, I haven't seen anything so expensive this bad, it's really weird that this much money can't buy quality in any of the aspects of the show
That's right, for SWE positions there's only one set of interviews and each interview lasts 45 minutes. The composition of an interview slate varies by level and role applied for (e.g. some roles require domain knowledge and it's not uncommon for one interview to focus on that). There are no per-team interviews.

Tolkien’s legendarium isn’t a “franchise”, brigading is the work of trolls not fans, and the degree to which it panders to an existing audience is the most tawdry, and least interesting, measure of any creative work.

Peter was an amazing friend who advised my startup hcaptcha on its privacy policy and was incredibly useful for coming up with practical solutions to hard problems. I’m pretty sure he also advised openai on some of the smarter things he did. On the same day peter died they told me they were giving up on curing my father’s cancer . Fuck cancer
Don't you think that 2 episodes is a bit too little to judge the entire series like that? The show covers A LOT more time than LOtR did, there's plenty of space for character development. Galadriel was not exactly likeable when she participated in the first kinslaying, or when she ran away from the war of wrath.
What kind of software did Sega artists use to create the 3D models? I’m amazed how good they still look

Brexit can not be "reversed", any politician claiming such is lying.

The most that can happen is that we apply to rejoin, but as a new applicant, we'd have to accept the full set of stuff, with no opt outs.

That even assumes the existing members would even accept us again as a member, which given how the relationship has been going seems unlikely.
From a business point of view having a fanatical core of fans who recommend your show to everyone is why you bought the IP.

Today I saw physical adverts for House of the Dragon on the train ride home. The only thing I thought about was how shit the last season of Game of Thrones was and how I will never read any media about that world again. Even though I would have watched a new show set in a completely different world with the production quality I saw in the posters.

Currently Big Corp is spending billions on acquiring IPs which rather quickly end up having negative value. This is, to put it mildly, not good business sense.
Well then the simple answer is to stop giving billions to subsidize a handful of electric cars for rich people and build a transit system instead.

Passenger trains went plenty of places in the US and Australia. They were systematically demolished and sold for scrap at a loss.
We can talk about it without adopting the rhetoric of critical theory (“math confronts it’s white, patriarchal past”) as the Scientific American article does. Critical theory is designed to meld analysis and political advocacy and it’s distinctive terminology is part of that advocacy.

I’m not making a gratuitous reference to critical theory by the way. Your example illustrates the problem. According to critical theory, “Jews are white.” So where does your example fit in? Also, math as a field is full of Indian and Chinese people. How does it make sense to label it “white?” Under critical theory, it’s “white” because Black people are underrepresented. Critical theory compels a mode of analysis that groups people a certain way, focuses on certain kinds of discrimination or power relationships to the exclusion of others, and all for distinctly political reasons.
Exactly.

And iPods wouldn’t have existed without MP3 players, which themselves were just a natural evolution from Walkmans and other portable music players. The cassette is an evolution of reel to reel tape and the industry was already primed with vinyl. And vinyl wasn’t even the first format for music playback.

As I posted elsewhere, we all stand on the shoulders of giants.

The only people who call things “revolutionary” are marketing firms and fanboys.
Also, sorry to double post, but you don't actually need to activate the venv. You can just invoke `venv/bin/pip`. That should hopefully save you a bit of time and annoyance.
Giving citizenship to anyone born within (Jus soli) is actually not very typical in the world. The US is somewhat of an outlier. Most countries run on the principle of inheriting citizenship.

It's so "mandatory woke" that the hobbits are rowdy drunkards with Oirish accents
Personal anecdote: 2 years of "research", 2 trips on psilocybe (one month apart), proper set & setting & guide & a lot of talking about it later with a trusted person ... decades-long cripling neurosis/anxiety disorder gone, addictions gone, depression receding, worldview changed, rated as one of the most influential experiences.

Depression is (imho) not to be healed with "here, swallow a pill", structural changes to one's life are necessary. Psychedelics can help to show the way, not to solve it.
I agree. The first two episodes of The Rings of Power are unbearably boring. But let's wait.

Anyway, IMDb ratings are getting totally unreliable to me. I wasted hours of my life that won't come back, watching some show called The Terminal List that scored a solid eight. Carnage of Asimov's Foundation is 7.4 and that... thing, The Wheel of Time 7.1.

I wonder if there's a way to see evolution of rating, for me Star Trek Discovery seasons are nine, seven, two, pass... but it's holding at 7 right now.
Those funds have higher costs. If you want to do that (and it's a good idea) look at the portfolio allocation and then buy the ETF version of the underlying assets.
