It happens… I’ve chastised an interviewer before. Their job was to identify:
1) Can the candidate do the job?
2) Will the candidate do the job?
3) Will the candidate work well the team?

Their job was not to emulate FAANG, intimidate the candidate, or see if the candidate studied Leetcode.
Show HN: Impulse – Impossible Dev Tools for React and Tailwind
Writing HTML sucks.

I've been making websites and web apps for almost 10 years. As a developer, I've never liked it.

React and Tailwind made it an infinitely better experience for me, but something was still missing. Switching between the code and the browser all the time felt wrong. At the same time, I felt lost with No-code editors because they are made for designers not developers.

I've written about it extensively here: https://rogovoy.me/blog/writing-html-sucks

Impulse is my experiment to bridge that gap and make a "design" tool that works directly with my code.

With Impulse, I've come to love web design (again?).

1. Crazy to me to think apple can't absorb 6% price hike on chips. their margins are usually so high.

2. But its awesome that apple can say no to price hikes. This is good economics for end users and its a reason why capitalism and markets are often good and produce lower prices

If only modern tech could allow an article on something visual present that to the reader. I wish browser could be allowed to include images alongside text.

(This is the bane of so many articles on the net these days. It's like CMS systems everyone uses only allow you to set a single image, and that's it)
Absolutely. Base pay is guaranteed, and the only thing to really consider about 'money in hand'. Bonuses or stock grants _could be worth up to blah_ but could also be zero as your range mentions. So effectively, $0 until 'in hand'.

Listing the base salary is immensely helpful to determine if the job is worth your time and the effort the company wants based on the JD. Problem becomes when their range starts showing BS crap like $20/k - $350k yr. That is meaningless and not helpful.
Yep, but TSMC don’t manufacture the main lithography machines: that’s typically solely or at least collaboratively from ASML in the Netherlands. So if Apple really wanted to, they could move gradually away. And given their volumes, this is leverage.
In my family we have known of a coat of arms in our name for some time, so I was surprised to find that Amazon was selling bags, sweatshirts, etc. with a very different coat of arms also attributed to my family name.

After some digging, I found out they are using a military insignia given by the king to one of his noble captains with my name. The insignia would be something like a flag to identify his army on the field, So I guess there are many uses for coats of arms.

I have much to learn about heraldry, I'd appreciate any references I could read.

This is one of the "new" ways that stolen identities are used.

About a decade ago, there were a number of raids by Immigration on meat packing plants across the Midwestern US. What kicked the raids off was when one Hispanic woman who worked at Immigration was being dinged by the IRS for not paying some $160k in delinquent taxes. Upon investigation, it turned out that her name & SSN were being used simultaneously by more than 50 different workers in the meatpacking industry.

Several newspapers in the Denver metro area reported on the raids. Some of the raids happened in Greeley [0]. I remember one of the papers reporting that the only signs in English in the entire plant were the emergency Exit signs over doors. Also mentioned in the papers were that a valid name & SSN combination was worth about $50 if the name was Hispanic, and about $5 otherwise. Some of the name & SSN combinations were used simultaneously more than 100 times, with some repeats being at the same employer simultaneously. Several of the companies raided by Immigration knew that the workers were in the country illegally but didn't care as long as the name & SSN combo made it through some verification process [1].

Notes:
0 - Greeley is about 60 miles north of Denver. When the wind is "right", one can smell the feedlots. Normally, when you drive out of the mountains, you can see a huge brown cloud floating over the Denver metro area. When the wind is "right", you can see a sharp termination of that cloud. The chemicals in the cloud (mostly nitrates and nitrites from exhaust) react with the chemicals from the feedlots (mostly ammonia from cow urine & feces) to form ammonium nitrate (frequently used in fertilizer & explosives) to precipitate out of the air (leaving clear sky).

Check out Octonote - https://octonote.com/ it is a webapp I built primarily for D&D DMs to organize their campaigns and share with their groups but it can be used for other things including what you're describing here.

One of the core concepts is a "Book" which is a collection of notes. You can add a note to any number of books and you can share books using a link. To implement what you're suggesting, you could create a book for each group you wish to share with and only add the notes (which would have your images) to the relevant books. What's more is that you could have some books only allow View access and other books to allow Collab so certain users could work with you on those notes while others might only see them.

That’s not the question it’s trying to answer. And why is it bad, if you want to answer?
Okay but you know the name and identifying personal details about the person you verified, and the person you talk to once hired needs to give you their photo ID. If the person you are interacting with doesn't match the photo on their ID, or if the name or identifying information on the ID is different from the one you verified, then it should be immediately clear they are different people. It's the person who interviewed that had to be the fake.
The article outlined at least one option that Apple has: stay on the 5nm node for a bit longer. It doesn't seem impossible at all that TSMC would cave/agree to only a 2-3% hike in 6 months. While a greater lead is I'm sure welcome, it's not like Apple isn't _extremely_ well positioned in every market they operate in, even on 5nm.

Regardless of your stance, yes, this is a serious article and has been actively debated for several decades now.

And it has also lead to a huge amount of cognitive dissonance.
isupper makes sense only for strings, thus it makes sense not to put it in the global namespace. len is available for strings, but also lists, dicts and many other things. It's so useful that a 3-letter name in the global namespace is justified. Is there a reason for not making it a method though? Yes, actually. By using the dunder system, it makes len special. And it avoids a situation where some objects use a.len() others use b.length() and yet others use c.size() or d.len, e.length, f.size. Python has officially blessed the len name over the others, and that's useful.
You could easily (and I did) put a full Debian user space on the N900, and maintain all the cell phone functionality. It offered a pretty complete Linux experience.
Maybe we can't? I have been wondering about that for quite some time now.

We have been talking about ubiquitous computing for a long time, but instead of doing that, it seems we have settled on using smartphones for everything, retiring specialized or underpowered devices in their favor, even if they are just 60% as good as their predecessors.

When a company tries to build something in this niche, it seems we need as much power as possible to make it potentially as mass appealing as possible, which in turn means tradeoffs in many other areas (size, heat, battery life, software etc.) that make it unappealing to most but a small minority.

Now, it would seem easy to create a specialized device by putting some constraints on it, right? Make a computer optimized for writers! Make one optimized for day planing! Make one that is not good for playing video or games but great for spreadsheets etc. These devices could excel at their given niche and give us back advantages like weeks long battery life or incredible small size etc. But it seems, no one is willing to work with these constraints. Of course, also no one seems to be capable to create custom software, which I guess these devices would also need to be good at what they were supposed to do.

Sometimes you find these things in small, specialized markets, but even then they always seem to be not really much better or even worse than what we had in the 90s. I am not sure if it is because of market dynamics or lack of vision, but all we ever seem to get are compromises.
They're complaining about types, :=, and match.

I don't think you even need a viable alternative to make this kind of threat. That's why we used to enforce antitrust laws.
I've noticed recently almost all broad searches on image search return watermarked stock photos.

It's terrible. The entire stock photo industry is so bad at creativity you can basically instantly tell if a photo is a stock photo, making anyone using them look like a complete fool.

Anyway, they either have some serious legal issues with image search or they are becoming precautionary, but it's becoming almost impossible to find decent images.
There's the OpenPandora (https://www.openpandora.org/) that did make it into hands of customers.

If you look around Youtube and such, everyone seemed highly satisfied with it, but as a owner myself, it kinda sucked.

By the time it came out, it was underpowered, it never was able to run any decent web browser at an acceptable level. It's focus was gaming and emulation, but even then it wasn't any better than a modded PSP (I would say in terms of software, it was worse). My Pandora had numerous manufacturing defects and the way to resolve it was "post in the user forums" where people would reply "Don't worry about it, it's a purely open-sourced handheld! You could just 3D print a new L button!"

And what pissed me off to no end, people would overclock the CPU over 40% to get stuff to run at acceptable speeds, and then in the same breath say that "it's amazing, 10 hour battery!" Not if you overclock the thing.

I still get excited when I see these new ultra-portable computers, but then I remember the Pandora and quickly tell myself not to waste my money.
What is URT?
This is a problem for all number systems. The true issue here is not a precision in the underlying bit representation of IEEE-754, it's that 0.1 and 0.2 aren't actually a valid IEEE-754 numbers, and so they get casted to their best approximations.
US Embassy warns Americans to leave Russia
Of course they can but why would they if they don't have to? They obviously feel they can push back on this and so they are.
1. Of course they can? Will they? No.
Apple didn’t get rich by writing a lot of checks.
I don't know about regime notation, but it is nice to see a new format with the most annoying ideas from IEEE754 removed:

- Two's complement instead of one's complement

- No infinities, no signed zeroes

- Only one exceptional value with the same encoding as the smallest signed integer: 10...0

The above means that comparisons work exactly like for signed integers (with the unique exceptional value behaving like -∞). Also, one can test whether x is invalid using `x == -x && x != 0` rather than the ugly `x != x`, i.e. no need to break reflexivity. Even if posits do nothing but remove the one's complement dust off IEEE754, that would be a positive change in my view.
You can do the same with just cash.
Interesting that in point #2 you think the market helps lower prices, when in point #1 you establish that Apple doesn't lower the price of what they're selling regardless of how much they lower their own prices.
You never touched a LED light bulb uh?
I feel that it's actually the opposite. There is a world of difference between 0.0...01 and 0.0...001 , where ... represents the same number of 0s in the two cases. Same applies for the other end.

edit:

Do I really want more resolution between 0.41 and 0.42 than between 0.01 and 0.02?

I don't know about AI performance (does this happen only because of the overhead of providing CUDA through rocm+HIP?), but I was just checking and at least in my country (Brazil), for any given memory size (12GB, 8GB, 4GB) I can find cheaper AMD GPUs than NVidia GPUs

Here I'm considering that the main constraint is VRAM and while stable diffusion now runs even on GPUs with 2GB RAM, there's always new developments that require more VRAM (for example, Dreambooth requires 12GB as of today)

Yes, please avoid leaking memory -- but the intro to this article is incorrect in almost all major points:

> In JavaScript, primitives are assigned/passed by value and not by reference. If you assign a primitive type's value to another variable, the value is copied.

No, primitives are immutable but still passed by reference (that reference is passed by value, which is why assigning to the reference won't change them -- the same is true for objects). Can you imagine if we'd copied strings every time they were passed into a function?

> This also determines how they are stored in memory — primitive values are stored on the stack while objects are stored on the heap, with a reference to their location stored on the stack.

Also no, all primitives except small integers ("Smis") are stored in the heap.

> One important thing to note about variables stored in the stack is that their sizes must be known at compile time. This allows a program to allocate the right amount of memory in the stack. Because the JavaScript engine allocates a fixed amount of memory for primitive values, there is a limit to how large they can be.

Again, no, with strings as the obvious counter example. There's a limit to how large values in general can be, but it's around indexable size and pointer width, not a fixed amount of memory for primitives.

> Memory stored in the heap will live on unless it is explicitly deleted or deallocated.

Is the author confusing the malloc heap with the (garbage collected) JS heap? Sure, V8 has to manage the pages it allocates, but JS authors certainly don't

> To allocate memory in the heap, a program must first scan the heap to find a contiguous memory block large enough to hold the data.

As a sibling comment points out, there are optimisations here with linear allocation buffers that permit bump allocation. Also, don't forget the semi space for young objects, since the GC is generational.

Again with the denigrating of sex work. It's a pervasive and ancient part of human society, but it should not be studied, because? We study bookmaking and banking and families and art, but not this because, it's naughty? it's taboo? it makes some uncomfortable?

All that is a clear sign to me, that we need more such scholars.

Smalltalk also did this. These days my impression is the most active tendril is https://pharo.org/.

What I find especially interesting about that relative to this Python distro is that the Pharo executable runs in a host OS (e.g. whatever your daily driver is) and can maintain different image files for different Pharo system states. So not only do you have the integrated language/OS (which is very cool on its own), but you also have something that feels like Docker containers.

And it even goes beyond containers because those image files really are the state of the system at the time they're saved, which means you can ask for that file in a bug report and get guaranteed bug reproduction, which is pretty incredible.

Wow! Incredible work. Is this the work of a single person?
> Apple has rejected these offers. [...] This may be one reason why we reported that the upcoming M2 Pro and the M2 Max for updated MacBook Pro models would be manufactured on the 5nm process instead of 3nm; both entities might not have reached a middle ground for price agreement.

This makes no sense?

M1 / M1 Pro / M1 Max / M1 Ultra were all manufactured on TSMC N5, even though volume production for N5P (improved N5) was already available by the time M1 Pro / Max were released. In fact, A15 (N5P) was released in September '21 whereas M1 Pro / Max (N5) were released in October '21 and Ultra was released in March '22.

M2 is manufactured on N5P, so it makes total sense that M2 Pro / Max / Ultra will also be manufactured on N5P. They're part of the same generation, so it makes sense to produce them on the same node.

This is also most logical from a financial standpoint: the base model M chips and the A chips are the smallest and therefore least expensive to produce on a new node with relatively poor yields and high prices. Once the node has matured a bit more (higher yields / lower prices), you manufacture the bigger chips (Pro / Max), and even later you print the big bois (Ultra)

M2 Pro / Max / Utra were never going to be N3.
> just by being a reasonably priced

I’d disagree with this for my case and likely for anyone who has two or three or four people at home who need their own mailboxes (not aliases). Fastmail is quite expensive for such cases. Of course, this applies to services like ProtonMail too. But there are services that are far cheaper that have been operating for years and hosted in Europe (the latter is for those who want to avoid hosting in FiveEyes jurisdictions).
If you have something to say, it would be more effective to just say it, rather than pose vague, unanswerable rhetorical questions that rely on us being able to read your mind.
Not an American, but seen some of these pictures before. I thought most of them actually were photographs, and that it was just the printing and later scanning of them giving them some of the artifacts.

That result happens for the same reason that 1 / 3 * 3 != 1, if you use decimal: 1 / 3 = .333, .333 * 3 = .999, which is different from 1.00.

0.1 is the same as 1 / 10, which does not have a finite representation in binary notation, just as 1 / 3 does not have a finite representation in binary or decimal notation.
Hardware is not cheap either at this scale. Reallly rough math follows, please anyone correct me if I err. A100 cards are >$10,000 each. A node is typically 8 and a cluster might be 64 A100s. So about a million in hardware for the medium cluster of 64 A100s. (Cross checking, a machine from lambda labs is apparently ~175k for 8 gpus, so 1.4m for the cluster above)

Those A100 use 300watts each, plus let’s say 500watts for the rest. (8gpus300+500)8servers ≈ 25Kw * 8760 hours = 219k KwH / year. So if your costs are $0.15/KwH that’s only on the order of $32k/year.
I think what twigged me is the expectation that doctors are supposed to be better than that. Doctors are explicity not like any other group of people. The whole point in giving them the immense powers we do comes with the expectation that when it falls to them to be brave or noble, they are willing to take that responsibility. Otherwise, there is no reason not to have barbers do most surgeries, apothacaries prescribe drugs, and nurses make treatment decisions, especially given the technological advances of even the last 30 years.

These are people who explicitly must not be seized by mass political hysterias, and it's not a right/left thing, as they seem like a necessary constituency in every totalitarian movement. Other professions, like judges and guards you can just appoint from the ranks of true believers, most professors can be relied upon to be complicit, and their institutions can tell whatever legitimizing story you bully them into. Doctors (and perhaps armed police) are the only ones with leverage, which means it is their personal responsibility to guard against this stuff, imo.

There's also the Anti Covid Vax crowd which is where most people are. Neighbors aren't bleeding from their eyes and risk is mostly low for healthy adults. If we had an outbreak of something really deadly, then everyone would have received a shot.

The problem with the Anti Covid Vax crowd is the pushing of these vaccines from the government will increase vaccine hesitancy for actually deadly diseases. This will be the most devastating thing to happen from the pandemic, not the 6+ million deaths unfortunately.
