One can get reasonable performance from them if the language (and ABI) is designed for it. Many implementations of lisp family languages, for example. Most computations will be on fixnums, with a fallback to bignums as required. The fixnums are unboxed.

It's nice to require analysis for maximum performance rather than for correctness, since maximum performance usually doesn't matter but correctness usually does.

X doubt.

At the very least google is to blame, and the stadia exec that assured stadia wasn’t going to shut down.
1) You're right that "obvious hysterics" isn't the best possible label, but I couldn't think of a better one.

2) I cannot read anybody's mind, but anybody who has spent any length of time online probably fully well knows that you're teeing up the Twitter outrage mob by posting that kind of comparison in the way that Hank Green did.

3) I'm not familiar with Hank Green, but I thought that the Timar Ivo Batis' response posted in that article gave a pretty good response pointing out that he knew tech better than that.

> Sorry Hank but you know better about how tech works than to draw comparisons like that. Changing wording gives you the top result for this specific wording. You really do not want a machine guessing and always giving you the same results. Too much nuance.

4) I don't want to detract further from the overall point of the article. The main takeaway from this should be that even the best algorithms can have loads of problems with figuring out true knowledge and answering questions algorithmically, and there's probably issues with Google presenting their callout snippets as the answers to questions without better disclaimers or educating people that algorithms are just guesses that can be wrong. Every establishment figure talks all of the time about the dangers of misinformation, but Google has a system that is guaranteed to present lots of information wrong. This seems worthy of critical discussion.
Cmd is the only thing that works well on a Macbook keyboard and everything else is a travesty. `fn` should be banished from the left side entirely and letting it occupy the Fitz Law ideal of the corner is a goddamn atrocity against good design for how little use it gets.

Complex chords are extremely painful when done one handed because the other meta keys are tiny and crammed all together. On Windows keyboards, `fn` either doesn't exist or is in the middle (creating ctrl-fn-win-alt), making for tons of comfortable space for one-handed chorded keys.
I wouldn't call it instant, but it takes roughly 1s for me. That's acceptable in my eyes.
Yes, there are some narrow cases where audit trails are important, but that doesn't apply to most situations, certainly not those where you're both thinking out loud and trying to come to some common understanding or whatever. It seems you allowed some personal grievance get the better of you because in this particular context, your characterization does not apply.
Serious question - given its track record, why would anyone trust the CIA at this point? The promise of something better? Blackmail?
The "hot loop" is also a myth. Very few programs actually have a hot loop with larger-than-average returns on optimizations. Heck, the blog post itself is an example of that not being the case - it's startup that's slow, not the program's steady state hot loop. For something you actually spend a significant amount of time using continuously, yeah maybe it has a hot loop. But even then, probably more like hundreds or thousands of hot loops depending on the features being used, what stage the program is in (eg, blender while editing the scene is very very different from blender while exporting a rendering).
Unprecedented how? I am sure most browsers do such crap on their home page. Even firefox had its "experiments" and pocket

I feel like the reason a lot of games are slow right now is because they are built out of these huge abstract "everything-doers". For example, each button can be configured in millions of different ways even though the game usually only has a few different types of buttons. It's not an optimal data structure by any means.

It's not like in the olden days where you would blit this stuff out to the screen using specialized routines that scream along as fast as the CPU will let you. Now, everything is dynamic and multipurpose and configured using properties on the object... engines like Unity get away with C# and way too much runtime reflection because it's convenient in the editor. Developers like it, it's less difficult than writing specialized routines.

I was one of the people who regularly used Stadia and was part of the Stadia Reddit and discord.

It makes a lot of sense. Stadia has a very small game pool - VERY small, think a new console a few months after launch. It's the best time to launch a game that can get discovered and get a fan base. It's like that side scroller game that was free on PS+ the month PS4 launched - it got incredibly popular even though it normally wouldn't hold a candle to AAA games (Resogun)

Heck, look at Crayta on Stadia - it's a pretty average game, but was extremely popular on Stadia because it was a launch game and the only sandbox game available.

I don't really understand it, wouldn't this just trade the checks and corner cases you have to pay attention to with different set of corner cases? If I have an integer that can approach INT_MIN, I know I have to pay attention to overflows when using it and this proposal helps with at most some fraction of the problems that can arise. And what's the great benefit, that it get's a bit more "elegant"? If you want to write "safe" software and have the compiler enforce it, go use Rust/Ada/Spark instead.
The random segment about transgenders felt really out of place. I wonder where the speechwriters get their materials from.

I'm very blissfully unengaged in Twitter as well, could you kindly spell out what it is you are referring to as the "elephant in the room"?
This:

Russian senator Konstantin Kosachev warned that after the referendums, "protecting people in this region will not be our right, but our duty. An attack on people and territories will be an attack on Russia. With all the consequences." Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov did not rule out the use of nuclear weapons to defend annexed Ukrainian territories.

I got an Aprotii "7-in-1" sensor from Amazon UK for about €120 ("currently unavailable"). I haven't seen the same device from other vendors, which is unusual for this type of device on Amazon. Claims to be NDIR, can't seem to open it without trashing the glued down screen cover, so I haven't. I'm no expert on this type of device, I just figured anything less that €50 was going to be pointless.

Lots of ventilation holes on 5 sides, a screen you can read from 8m away. Agrees (within tolerance) of a nearby temp/humid sensor. CO2 and VOC are independent. CO2 alone goes up during the day if I don't crack a window, VOC varies with how hot and close beverages are. PMs/VOC are mostly a function of how badly my cooking went in the adjacent kitchen :)

I can't be certain about absolute accuracy of values, temp/humid are good, CO2 seems plausible: low is 400ppm, I start to get cranky while working by about 1200ppm.

It's wifi (Tuya) if you want, the screen and controls alone are fine though. It also has RS485 and a bunch of relays to drive A/C, Fan, (de)humdifier too.

There's a Spanish report that links Kkmoon/Kecheer/Curconsa/Aprotii device vendors:

I largely agree with your sentiment. One small nit about wearing a suit, which is one cultural norm I am happy to dispose of except for weddings and funerals. I think is is possible to look neat and convey seriousness wearing an appropriate T-shirt and comfortable pants that fit properly, especially for day to day activities like going to work in 90 degree weather.
Why would they port to stadia at all? The hardware requirements are very low. Seems like a misguided move.

I think it's worth considering whether there are numerous levels to this phenomenon, and that you yourself are on one of those levels (as we all are)...and perhaps not the highest one (of which there may be no such thing, in fact).
I like the nature sounds idea a lot. Our hearing is immensely sophisticated and we could probably develop an immersive experience of this for network monitoring with the right metrics. The idea of a secops analyst sitting by a virtual reality campfire, listening to their "surroundings," and then investigating based on environmental changes is pretty cyberpunk, and absolutely doable with something like this. Nature sounds as a complete UX metaphor is pretty amazing, and rich sound environments may be the missing immersive bit in VR/AR games.

This is timely, as just last night I was by a fire listening to a field of crickets and wondering if I could use a GAN to learn to interact with their fabric of noise and then convince the crickets to modulate their chirps according to the GAN's feedback. I then wondered how plausible it could be that this had already happened to us. Indeed, that kind of night. But these are the most interesting problems, and adversarial AI for insect control using their own audible telemetry has to be the most viable path for having it interact with biological systems. If it can't pass an insect Turing test, it probably can't pass a human one.

Thank you for posting this, it was truly a hidden gem.
Several hundreds of orders of magnitude more? That doesn't sound possible.
I could be wrong, but I don't think cloud-driven graphics processing is dying. The knowledge gained by the dev team making it work will serve them well going forward, in addition to the marketing considerations being discussed.
Surveilled doesn't come into play here. The text messages were ordered to be disclosed and the people involved complied. It doesn't matter that the conversation was encrypted, if you have a record, you have to turn it over. Using a messaging service that automatically deletes old messages might be a way to avoid it.
I remember a guy who got his xbox account permabanned because his username was "kike8572", and the support wouldn't give him his account back even after explaining that kike in Spanish is just a shorthand for the name "Enrique" (his name).
Elon clearly overpromises - but he also over delivers. SpaceX's current capability to deliver payloads to orbit is so far ahead of anyone else (particular considering they started from scratch only 20 years ago). Even their Starlink in just a few years had leapfrogged over incumbent providers. Tesla may not have achieved all they have promised but there is no denying they are the company that is leading innovation in not only EV but even in their approach to manufacturing.

I'm far more partial to the idea that NaN was a mistake than a desired feature. Including it then making operations that involve it UB is a road to hell and sadness, far worse than abs(INT_MIN).

The idea to separate bit vectors from numbers is a good one though, it always seemed a little weird to me that we're passing around numeric types for FLAG_FOO & FLAG_BAR.
It's just a laundry list of 'pick an argument against the West'. Every part of their public can find a part of the speech to agree with.

Something I wrote before:

"One of the interesting things about Sarah Chayes book is her description of the relationship between the CIA and the military. In her view, the military was relatively powerless, and lacked the ability to fight back against the CIA. Meanwhile, the CIA undermined the goals of the military in Afghanistan, especially when it came to fighting corruption."

Why Corruption Threatens Global Security

The Intel Direct RF FPGAs are pretty spectacular. They report 64GSPS and 25GHz instantaneous bandwidth directly into FPGA fabric (no JESD) which greatly exceeds any other competitors’ IC offerings on the market. I wonder what they will cost: if their high-end 8ch device is <$16K then they will annihilate the competition (I’m able to get $2K per channel for large multichannel direct RF systems 1Ghz instantaneous all the way up to x-band)
I think you're not giving them enough. They managed to have a glaring security hole to be exploited, but no one bothered to. It took the bunch of degenerates we have around today with no respect for the sanctity of someone else's machine for this type of practice to even become a problem.

You'll be amazed how many seemingly intractable technical issues aren't due to having been solved at higher layers of abstraction. Nowadays with things like clear cut ownership of post first sale ownership breaking down, we're actually getting bitten by having to try to technically solve problems, previously made tractable by the social consensus between professionals.

As a consequence, here we are with a now crappy, pathological Notepad.

> If you pick x86 or amd64 as your benchmark, then you're going to get a very narrow picture.

99% of the language designers I know target x86 first and foremost. But in the given link only one person mentioned x86, while others were speaking generally and voiced an opinion that it really doesn’t matter.

I take your point that other designers might have other pressures, but the choice of 1 vs 0 in the common case (not a narrow slice as you seem to suggest) comes down to other factors. The pressure to conform to developer expectations for 0-based indexing is much greater than anything else; as demonstrated in this HN thread, some people won’t even consider using a language if it has 1-based indexing. Other communities face persistent confusion with 0-based indexing. That provides far more pressure than the ARM instruction set for language devs that I know. Maybe the ones you know feel differently.

Your point is taken on bigendian vs littlendian, but the same has not happened for indexing. Languages haven’t settle on either, but instead they have bifurcated between dev targeted versus end user targeted languages, with the former being 0 based and the latter being 1 based.
You keep saying that this vulnerability can be defeated by carefully examining warnings. That's simply not true. The vulnerability is that the server, which you're not supposed to trust, can allow unauthorized people to decrypt your messages. The fact that you get a warning when unauthorized people are decrypting your messages is not a "defeat" of the vulnerability!

The bug is that you're owned, not that you didn't get an alert saying that you're owned.

Sure there are undesirables in the world wide web: neo-nazies, Q-anon, pedos & NAMBLA, Russian propaganda, spammers and carders etc. Any platform that protects the freedom of speech for fringe groups will become a haven for them and will be eventually abandoned by mainstream users.

Those times were pretty wild. Just bottle up random chemicals and cross fingers. Boy am I glad for the FDA.
It's funny how you can take a multi-billion dollar idea, write it all out for the world to see, and it still gets ignored or ridiculed by everyone.

It's also funny how you can take two of the greatest minds in our generation and dismiss them out of hand, mostly due to your previous biases of what you think they are all about.

If email cost the sender 1 cent per email, spam could have been eliminated.

This system would do the same thing. 5 cents to post, 1 cent to comment, 1 cent to upvote. 80% of money goes to poster and commenters. 20% pays the bills. Maybe a downvote option that costs 2 cents?

Influencers make money. Users pay a small proportional amount to interact, free to read.

Decentralization is the key, just like for crypto. No one controls the content. No one censors Hunter Biden's laptop posts.

You load up with $5 and add more when you are depleted. Everything in sats or ADA, etc. It stays in your "wallet" so it can't be frozen or taken from you.

You can have a tipping and buying system as well, all built in.

This post on the eve of the animal testing requirement is honestly even less compelling than the argument "what about the bad guys" when politicians talk about outlawing encryption.

The US FDA, as it exists today, is the single biggest hurdle to global medical progress (because other developed countries with socialized medicine are still getting about half their new drugs from the US). It costs a billion+ dollars (in FDA testing alone) and many years to push a single drug into the market. Even during an unprecedented pandemic where things are being rushed and all the world's pharmaceutical resources are poured into the drug development, it still took a solid year after vaccines were developed.

90 years ago, animal testing was often the best option. But in this specific example, the drug manufacturer didn't do any kind of testing at all, so it isn't much of a fair comparison. And as a sibling commenter mentioned, there are other effective tests that can be done before human trials, saving time and animals.
I wonder too if increasing people going to college makes a difference to this. You dont earn money until you're 22, you have debt and geographically have to move a few times. If you graduate high school then get your first job you're much more "adult" at 18.
I wonder how much of this came from what started in the 80s where people weren't allowed to lose. Everyone got a trophy. Everything had to be easy. People need to learn how to act in adversity and for a lot of people they didn't get to learn that. The "you're all winners because you participated" movement hurt a lot of people.
What glitches? Can you be more specific?
It's about the context, Dorsey has basically been an absent CEO for the last 5 years. All the reporting is basically that he wasn't engaged, didn't make decisions, and in the end he didn't really step down from Twitter, he was forced out by activist investor buying up shares and pushing him out. It's not like he didn't have an opportunity to address the issues at Twitter, it's that he went off and worked at a different company whilst still being CEO of Twitter and as a result completely squandered the opportunity.
It's literally not censorship to voluntarily refuse to associate with white supremacists (or to simply have no interest in doing so). I'd assume this is the reason we Americans are not using Gab.

So what. I care (as said before) for the implicit nulls problem. Also, I dont like to my code to be littered with annotations (to introduce magic) and exceptions-as-alternative-return-values.
Sure. But that does not answer the question. Which is "why not duckduckgo?"
Except GTK looks like shit on Windows and Mac, so nobody wants to use it for those platforms. Most developers that create software with these bloat issues would not accept GTK.
Completely agree that moving bit operations to library calls and freeing up their syntax characters makes a lot of sense. Also seems impossible!
