I used a Roland R8 in the late 80s and loved/hated it for the humanization functions they added to the instrument; it could subtly modify the sound parameters at each hit to make it sound like it came from a real person hitting a drum or cymbal in different areas, however it lacked the most important one: timing. A human drummer will never be accurate to the millisecond, but rather will apply very small anticipations/delays at each note, with good drummers capable of doing it on purpose within given limits. Adding such a feature would make it sound even more real. Nothing compared to a real drumset played by a real drummer, however: the number of variables is just too high to be accurately emulated by today's technology. AI might help with that, but don't forget about latency: when drumming live, a few milliseconds is already too much delay.
Not Amazon, but when I receive RSUs it is denominated in the dollar amount. In a year when the first part vests the dollars are converted to stock units based on the price at that moment. Thus I do not know how many units of stock I am receiving until the first vesting event, because I don't know what the price will be in a year.
Few foreign investors are buying UK & European treasuries.

It's mostly the ECB and BoE - and local pension funds mandated by local governments - so foreign investors are irrelevant.

General investors usually prefer low rates because they want their asset prices to be inflated.
> you need to get a paying job to survive

Exactly. The idea that people who have an ardent need for financial support to survive would choose an activity that is statistically unlikely to provide sufficient financial remuneration seems odd, don't you think?

The separation here is nothing to do with "art". It's to do with a person's ability to choose an occupation based on desire/interest or pure financial need. Writing is in the former category not because it's "art", but simply because one needs to be comfortable to have the luxury of taking such risk.

To put it another way: people choose the vocation of writing despite financial motivation to pursue alternative more lucrative undertakings.
This article lays out a solid overview as to how Nvidia got to where they are now. I'm curious (as someone without a deep knowledge of the technology or the industry) as to why AMD can't create a similar dedicated ray-tracing functionality in their chips? It seems to be where the industry is going, and the article later goes on to point out how Meta and Google are doing this themselves.

Why has AMD ceded this market? Is it a patent issue? Capability issue? Something else?
Is NoOps the End of DevOps?
Indeed. And being a cloud/systems engineer well versed in Azure -and- AWS, along with networks, DCops, FedRAMP, and more, I'm in the ideal target group to get hired in to Amazon and spend a few years there.

But I see how they treat their employees from lowest to highest. I don't want any part of that.
>1. eSIM standard supports transferring of eSIM profile from one phone to another

Source? The only implementation I know of is on iOS, which allows you to transfer esims between phones that are on the same icloud account. For every other phone the solution was to get a new QR code from the provider.
Yes technically, as long as you know the license plates, but how often do those vehicles park in a commercial places like that? I don't think they do often enough for this kind of tracking to be useful
When I was on Verizon, I remember having to go into their store to get a new SIM each time I got a phone that wasn't through them. Using eSIMs after I switched to Fi was a small but noticeable quality of life improvement for me at least.
The fundamentals of typographic thinking haven't changed.

In my own experience, confidence and charisma are more useful. Of all the men I've met who were preternaturally talented at attracting women, they all had that in common but only one of them had the looks and height to match what you'd expect.

Being male can sometimes be dispiriting in that you have to constantly justify your worth, but the silver lining is that there are multiple avenues through which you can do so. By contrast, the world is cruel and unforgiving towards women who do not or no longer meet the beauty standard and there's only so much that can be done.

In any case, adopting the 'blackpill' mindset isn't helpful in the slightest, even in a scenario where it accurately describes reality, which isn't the case. All that you describe exists in some form but it's not nearly as dramatic or immutable. Nor are other privileges all that impotent and fair either. There's never been a better era to be born smart in a developed country, for instance.
Based on the number of replies I get telling me how wrong I am, I’m pretty sure that people do read my comments :-)

I know someone who worked there for several years. From what I heard they take very good care of their employees as well and because of that tend to have folks that stick around for ~5 years on average. Unheard of in tech.
Possibly due to this, from what I’ve seen, compiler engineers tend to be in-house working on vendor tools, at the big engine companies, or working on script systems.
That may be true. But I didn't say it goes this way.

It makes a big difference whether someone only claims to be honest or is actually honest.
> and possibly suggesting individuals are freer to vary their emissions unilaterally than they actually are

This already exists in the form of carbon credits and people/companies spending money elsewhere (like planting trees) to "offset" the pollution they create. The rich are able to absorb the costs of the carbon taxes and will continue to do whatever they want because they're carbon neutral. Carbon neutrality is complete nonsense. This isn't a "calories in, calories out" situation where you can "maintain" if you spit out 100 units of pollution today but buy trees that will suck up that 100 units over 50 years. It's still ending up in the atmosphere and making things worse today.

> How about measuring per-capita emissions regionally, and with regions sub-divided by population density?

Sure, then that way Alberta will be considered an oil producing region and get a pass for their high per-capita emissions just like Qatar, Trinidad and Tobago, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Brunei, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. I made this comment elsewhere and this is exactly why I think it's unfair to point at Canada and the per-capita emissions. Our big industry and small population is the cause of our high per-capita emissions, and we have an enormous amount of clean energy but we never get credit for that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32977516
Because I think Vitalik Buterin probably has low athleticism and I think Ben Tameifuna probably has high athleticism, and a headshot of the former could be a school's star cross-country runner where the latter could be the school's star beer drinker.
Yep, some adoration of logic and control, even if not applied. But those were probably there first.

You probably also have some abhorrence towards formal chaos (the ones that causes unpredictability; many are not even able to accept it exists) and want to improve every system (simple or not) you see.

On the more traditionally politics kinds of thing, you probably value freedom of expression to a very high amount, like other highly educated groups, but also probably value personal freedom and personal initiative. Those often come in an intensity that leads to some bullshit levels of belief in self-determination (like in not believing you share group values) and personal responsibility; but beliefs change faster than values, and many people tame those down with time.

> For example, if you've extracted something into its own function, are you then sharing this function and using it in other places as well? If you then change the body of that function, are you now possibly breaking other parts of the code that relied on its old behavior?

You absolutely are. Which is why I think that DRY was pushed too hard, and for the wrong reasons. Everyone said "you only have to change it once!" rather than "consider how many callers depend on this". There's a reason the "rule of 3" came around; and those reasons I've found were mostly experience and empirically based.
Wow it looks great than expected.
I like discussion forums. You're right that I don't tend to comment after a thread has received hundreds of replies, since it'll probably be buried. But if I can get in early and have something to say I believe is reasonably insightful, I'll give it a shot.
> Now every time you switch a phone, you have to contact your carrier and possibly even get charged for the change.

This depends on the carrier.

I use US Mobile. In their app, there's a very simple button on each line's screen to transfer the eSim to another phone. I converted my physical sim to eSim on my iPhone XS before the iPhone 14 came out a couple weeks back. When I got my iPhone 14 I was able to transfer the sim to my new phone in about 30 seconds.

The ONLY gotcha here is you do need internet access to make this work, so that is one thing to keep in mind. But it's super easy to do and I really don't see a majority of the complaints around how easy it is being legitimate. I suspect many of you haven't actually used eSims before.
Maybe? If each AAA studio was putting 6-7 figures into the relevant projects, their change requests should be especially well explained and well formed. A lot of ignored PRs aren't well communicated.

Also, it's kind of moot. For platforms that use GCC, Clang, etc., the maintainers are OSS communities, so that's how you influence the product in a healthy direction for your projects. To sit back and let things happen is also an option, but then debugging support might not meet your needs, for instance.

Seems like mobile and wasm based platforms exist and don't generally use MSVC. Folks around here might be surprised how effective $1MM/yr in engineer salaries can be in the relatively under-resourced OSS compiler development space.
There was an article about the positive impact large integrated caches had back when Intel was doing it: https://www.anandtech.com/show/16195/a-broadwell-retrospecti...

I'm surprised Intel has basically abandoned the idea, and AMD just markets it for "gaming".

> There is survivor bias among groups - if a bunch of people all have different opinions and aren't willing to modify them, they're unlikely to remain a group for long.

I suspect this is why over time all members of a political party become near carbon-copies of each other. Even if the party started "big tent" over a single issue, natural forces will cause it to coalesce into "same thought on all issues".

One solution for the individual is to forcefully prevent yourself from associating with the group, but this often requires drastic action and gets you shunned by all groups. Compare the vitriol against someone who "votes wrong" vs "votes third party" vs "refuses to vote at all".

FWIW, at the AMD event in Texas last month where the Ryzen 7000 series was announced, everyone was given the same embargo date... Mostly all the US and EU reviewers there.

Maybe the China/Asia review briefings or so are going with a different date based on different retail availability or so? Hadn't heard of some reviewers getting a different embargo date, typically see that usually only for different geo availability or if getting a sample from a motherboard OEM / other partner and not the CPU company review embargo.
Right, but 641 wasn't about the integrity of the data, it was about the confidentiality. They had a big-ass fibre splitter intercepting the firehose of the internet, and presumably running protocol analysis on "their" copy of it. They weren't injecting malware into it a la Sony, just grabbing a carbon copy. And largely, people were okay with it in the name of "national security" following the September 11th attacks.

I have every confidence that CF doesn't do that today, but since it's the termination point for TLS for a HUGE portion of the internet (including my own sites ;p), that seems like a huge target for feds to try to tap into. I think a lot of peoples' concern is that someday it could happen under a more authoritarian cabinet and court. As long as it can be done, it eventually will.

Absolutely nobody wants that, save for a couple very under-educated and highly powerful individuals. But the rest of us might not have a choice.

Writing comments ventilates your internal monologue.

Sometimes it is more important to have said something than to be heard by others.

One of the techniques of Gestalt Therapy is the Empty Chair:

> This is a role-playing exercise that allows a client to imagine and participate in a conversation with another person or another part of themselves. Sitting across from the empty chair, the client enters into a dialogue as if they were speaking with that other person or that other part of themselves. The empty chair exercise can be very helpful in drawing out important perceptions, meanings, and other information that can help clients become more aware of their emotional experience and how to start healing.

https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-gestalt-therapy-4584583

It is nice to know that you can get some relief from not having said what you wanted to say to someone who has since passed away, by speaking to an empty chair.

And it is nice to know that if you struggle with someone actively crossing your boundaries, it makes a difference that you object vocally to it, regardless of how they react. Seeing yourself say something that is not received has a different mental impact than seeing yourself say nothing.

If all else fails, pick a fight with the void.

I think you may be wrong. I've been quite surprised at who turns out to be reading my comments and tells me much later, or my comment shows up quoted on another forum.

If it's about the US dollar, what important US economic news landed early in the morning US time ?

For the UK the consideration is that this basically happened as the Chancellor announced his intent to fund huge tax cuts for the wealthy by borrowing. You don't need a whole lot of specialist knowledge to figure out that means the government has to sell more bonds and isn't in a position to reject higher prices for those bonds, which puts a downward pressure on Sterling.

Why do we tend to pretend this kind of thing isn't beautiful. Most people would agree it is.

Why do we tend to pretend function and form are two different things. Even as a colloquialism it's misleading. No need to throw visual design under the bus, what you enjoy about this site is the product of such design done thoughtfully.

Coming from python, the meaning of this "is" is effectively "is" or "issubclass" for types and "isinstance" for value,type pairs. It's really not that much of a stretch. I'd question of C++ really needs to care what Python devs are going to think, though.
My voice is an uncommon one - I'm interested in having calm, intellectual, well reasoned, analytical conversations about topics like economics and technology from a leftist lens (think socialist or communist).

This forum tends to be one where I get a lot of mocking, patronizing responses, but every now and again someone actually engages. Asks a question or asks for citations, and we can have an interesting few moments of sharing ideas and comparing notes even though we vehemently disagree.

I like those moments. I see myself as part of what keeps this place from being too much of an echo chamber worshipping at the altar of capital. :D (that was tongue in cheek, don't take it too seriously.)

Are they worth the mocking "hurr durr all communists are Nazis" moments? So far yes.

Interesting, is the curriculum anywhere online? Curious to take a look.

> This is way too subjective to be part of a curriculum. Trying would border on indoctrination.

I see it as the opposite of indoctrination. Teaching students how to choose their own values (and how happiness is a function of your values) gives them more freedom not less. You wouldn't want to push any specific value framework, but you do want to teach students that it's possible to choose your own adventure, instead of getting indoctrinated by your society's prevailing values. A curriculum such as:

- What are values?

- The connection between happiness and values

- Value traits (e.g. extrinsic vs intrinsic, behavioral vs situational)

- Value prioritization and hierarchies

- Different cultures and their distinct value frameworks

- Practical applications (e.g. learning how to change your values; trying out different values for a day/week)

In corporate hellscapes like the USA, there is often no choice in ISPs, either because other ISPs can't justify the infrastructure investment to set up in opposition to the incumbent, or because the incumbent has lobbied local government to make use of power poles/conduits exclusive to them.

It's a little ambiguous, but the word before is important -- "Sampling certain workloads with IBS" -- so that "with" clause is talking about the sampling method, not the workload style.
Because it's too hard to work everything out all the time, it is much easier to rely on others, which causes the group dynamic.

Let's say I'm a developer with an EU passport and would like to live and work in a non-EU country, how do I do it? I assume need to find an employer that is happy to sponsor me a work visa (which is a headache for them and makes me less competitive over a local applicant)?
I think it feels different because that knowledge is more deeply ingrained with what you already know. That knowledge has many connections and relationships with other knowledge you have. Whereas the name of a function is more like a leaf node, it isn't connected to very much and i think this is the source of the different feelings you describe.

To expand on this a bit - our memories maintain "schemas" of knowledge and whenever we learn something new it gets slotted into our "schema". The better something fits into our schema the easier it is to remember. I think if you googled schemas you'll be able to find more material on this
