One thing that will be interesting to watch is the long term effect of modern medicine. You can't believe in darwin and think that relieving the selective pressure will have no consequences. By saving kids that merciless nature would have naturally killed, I think we are also "breeding" a human species that is inadapted to its environment, fragile. And I wonder if the high level of allergies seen in kids today isn't an early symptom of that.
As a former tank gunner, the suspension must be going through hell, every landing.
Once a year we would replace the suspension, since it gets damaged, cracked, smushed and widens by the weight.

Every month or so, I would remove a pad from the suspension, since the weight applied in the pads flatten them, so that overall, less are required to fill the surface area. For this reason, for each type of tank you don't have a specific number of pads, but a range. I think it was 127 - 105, or something of that scale, in my type of tank.

Applied to this thing, logic dictates that after every landing, immediately after, the suspension must be replaced, in fear of breakage during battle.
Suspension pad replacement by a skilled and well oiled crew can be done in 10 minutes. That's 10 minutes under potential enemy fire, whether MG or Mortar. For each cracked pad or broken pin. Total suspension replacement requires even a couple of hours at the very least, in optimal conditions on flat terrain. Not optimal.

Also must be a bloody hell on logistics. How do you move entire suspensions to a place you had to land tanks to get them there? Do you parachute them in as well?

In addition, after every landing, I would figure the the gun must be zeroed again.
Every morning, we would use a special target, in a specific distance, to calibrate the gun with our periscope. We would avoid sitting on the gun, to prevent errors in the zeroing.
Landing would affect the zeroing much more harshly, I would presume.

Conclusion, unless absolutely necessary to land a tank is this manner, I as a commander, would avoid using such tactics.

Here's the Freedreno story:

https://lwn.net/Articles/638908/

> So in mid-2012 he decided to do something about it. He was working for TI at the time, so PowerVR-based GPUs (as used by TI) were off-limits. He found some hardware that had an Adreno 220 and started to reverse engineer it. He began work on a Gallium driver in November 2012. By early 2013, he had most of the "normal stuff" working. He could run GNOME Shell and some games on the hardware.

So it's been done before, but of course Freedreno's Rob Clark is undoubtedly exceptionally good as well.

You have to wonder if the M1 situation would be different if he had been working for another company... (M1 GPU is PowerVR descendant and there hasn't been a open source driver for that lineage historically)

For me it's a bit surprising that there are not more people working on it, the M1 having been out for 2 years already and this having wider appeal than the Freedreno initial users audience.

But, maybe the 1 person way is better, since the Nouveau history seems to be people coming and going and work progressing in fits and starts: https://lwn.net/Articles/269558/

(Also the nouveau people were first to start, so they cleared way and paid a lot of dues saved by subsequent projects)

edit: also nouveau history is somewhat chronicled in the early newsletters starting from the early 2006 days: https://people.freedesktop.org/~mslusarz/nouveau-wiki-dump/N...
I love Pop OS and have been using it for the past 4 years now. But I am not a fan of the System76 laptop build quality. The shipping was fast, the OS and hardware haven't had any problems and the packaging is awesome. But the build quality comparing to my 2015 mac book pro is lacking. But I will probably buy system 76 again because I am so used to linux.
> How is this different from CI but with probability of observing given state - which was also determined empirically?

It's not different, that's the point. For both interpretations, the relationship between the probability of observing a certain outcome and the amplitude of that outcome in the wave function are an extra postulate, the exact same extra postulate in fact, the Born rule.

> The worlds and their number are equivalent to the states & probability of CI without having to introduce the "measurement apparatus" that is distinct from the quantum system.

The measurement apparatus as a separate thing from the quantum system was actually partially explained by decoherence (ironically discovered by MWI proponents), which needs this separation for the same reasons as CI: we need some way to explain why quantum phenomena don't happen at our scale. Now, MWI makes this concept relative to an observer, whereas in CI it is often assumed to be absolute.

Basically, we can deduce from the Schrodinger equation alone that after the interaction of a quantum system with the environment, coherence is lost, and the different "states" of the wavefunction can no longer interfere with each other.

CI postulates that, as a result of this interaction, only one of the states will remain, with the Born rule probability. This is the most direct way of interpreting our experimental results.

MWI says that nothing changes after this interaction. It postulates though that, if we were to ask how likely we are to be in the same "state" as a particular result, we should expect that to be the Born rule probability. This explanation takes the theoretical description of the wave function to be more real in some sense than the actual observations we make.

Wait, I pay 3K for my apartment in Manhattan. It’s by no means a palace but it’s not a shithole. The previous tenant lived in my apartment for 8 years.

Problem is that the contract has additional terms, and the relevant one is you must offer lease renewal in NYC. The contract is only temporary from the perspective of the tenant, it’s actually indefinite from the landlord’s view. And both the tenant and landlord knew the law when offering the lease and signing it so that’s the end of it.

You cannot end run around the law by trying to be “clever” and technically offering a lease renewal of 10 billion dollars a month. The world doesn’t work by programmer logic.
Are this valid arguments?

>First, because gummed-up property markets are a drag on the jobs market. [...] the uncertainty makes people hesitant about moving

It could also mean that a huge supply of real estate makes it easy to move for everybody who doesn't own a house

>Lower house prices also hurt growth in a second way: they make already-gloomy consumers even more miserable.

Or it frees huge amounts of capital for those who buy a house when prices are low.

This is all insignificant to a coming disruptive change. China and India are incentivized to develop more efficient modes of housing. The west is cut off from that development by insisting on maintaining the status quo with zoning laws.

Even if western citizens remain in their countries, the west will lose the migrant science workers when they move to where housing doesn't take half of your income.

As a consequence, the housing market can collapse even more.

One possibility is that Google Play runs the app in a sandbox, monkey test it by clicking on everything, trace the outgoing connections and sees that one request contains PII from the sandboxed contacts. It could be a third party library that does it.

Play is surprisingly sophisticated, and with Google focusing only on automation, i wouldn't be surprised to see them have this level of testing. This particular test wouldn't even be hard to write.

That seems about right. It's just amazing how many crypto scams there are. White's site has a new big ripoff almost every day. You can go back and read the web sites of some of those crypto companies selling to consumers. They deliberately misrepresented the risk. In some cases they out and out lied, claiming FDIC insurance they didn't have.

As for Web3, that's a mess. None of the NFT metaverses are any good. Most of them don't even exist, to the point that you can log in. Many of them promised to go live in Q2-Q4 2022. We're there. Many of those guys are going to have serious trouble with the SEC, which is now hammering about one crypto business a week. Of the ones that work, Decentraland has about 600 concurrent users, and in a day, about 30 of them do a transaction. The others are even smaller. $4 billion market cap. Right.

> there are people willing to value the m2 of the apartment higher than the family

That’s all well and good but that isn’t the issue. Part of the contract for renting an apartment in NYC is that you must offer renewals. A lease is a contract that, unless there’s an eviction, only the tenant can end. And allowing landlords to violate the spirit of the law by saying “we didn’t kick them out we only raised the rent to $10k/mo” defeats the whole purpose of it which is to not rip housing out from underneath people.
Of course it's _possible_. If you go deep enough, React is just vanilla JS after all. The question is how fast a team can build and maintain something with each method.

From my brief time trying it out about 3-4 years ago, the major things that needs improvement include:

1. Improve startup times.

2. Ditch leiningen, its functionality should be included in base clojure.

3. Emacs toolchain for Clojure seems massively complex and have too many parts. Makes it difficult to get it reliably installed/setup.

4. Getting it set up on Windows seems obscure, which shouldn't be. Part of the problem is that lein is not distributed with clojure.

5. Error messages are cryptic.

6. Needs a lisp style debugger. Once an exception occurs we need to get a repl at that point of state.

7. Needs provision include Local jars easily without having to set up a maven repo for the same. This is very important for hobbyist work, and for exploratory programming.
From one of those wiki articles"

"The final PNE blast took place on May 17, 1973, under Fawn Creek, 47.5 mi (76.4 km) north of Grand Junction, Colorado. Three 30-kiloton detonations took place simultaneously at depths of 5,768, 6,152 and 6,611 ft (1,758, 1,875 and 2,015 m). If it had been successful, plans called for the use of hundreds of specialized nuclear explosives in the western Rockies gas fields. The previous two tests had indicated that the produced natural gas would be too radioactive for safe use; the Rio Blanco test found that the three blast cavities had not connected as hoped, and the resulting gas still contained unacceptable levels of radionuclides.[16]"

Within the bounds of current engineering, nothing is impossible in this space but that said, past attempts to emulate the major fablines at scale have tended to falter. It's one of those "you can't bottle it" things.

I'm told most of the tools for VLSI at scale come from a very small circuit of suppliers, many in Europe. This must be what they're trying to emulate. Past efforts to do things like high purity glass for optical stuff worked during wartime and postwar markets but the planned economy ruined it for consistent quality. Heck, from what I read even the Japanese struggle to make lenses these days on the market they have, with all their smarts. Now translate that to atomic scale tech. One bad day with a high cleanliness room and its back to square one. The chemicals for chip production are fearsome. Nine ninths purity. And some are highly reactive.

They can probably make small production run stuff, with their own tooling as bootstrap. Volume and rejection rate on die could kill them.

Making tooling which can scale up to a commercially viable production house could take them years. Decades even.

I have nothing against people who want to build stuff. I don't like the regime they're in, but the effort is interesting. I just think it's a mountain to climb.

(I'm not in VLSI. I read stuff. I've read some very interesting private blogs about TSMC and samsung, lost links alas.)
Device performance has been growing in diversity as we approach smartphone saturation (the last couple of hundred million flipphones getting traded for < $100 low-end smartphones). I'm working on an update to this series, but here's a recap from last year:

As this relates to latency, JS-mediated UI is slower to materialize for a host of reasons, not least of all the problems with getting it across the wire (as you note). Naive SPA designs tend to serialize what should be parallel (data fetching and shell setup). Getting better at this requires more sophistication, whereas teams that stick to basic HTML + light progressive enhancement tend to end up with simpler systems that are faster for light-to-medium session depths and are easier to diagnose/fix when things go sideways.
You don't know which data to add.

> statistically representative of wild data

It should be "statistically representative" wrt to the true causes, and all other factors should be independent. Instead, ML models, and certainly large NNs, allow every bit of data that correlates a tiny bit to contribute.

Since we don't know what the true causes are, nor how to represent them in the data, adding more data might just as well not work.

Rent controlled buildings are priced in during the sale so they go for lower values. As for why the very original people even bothered to invest in the building in the first place, then the answer is that the regulatory environment was one that allowed of incentivized it back then.

Because psychology is farther removed from maths than, say, physics. For instance, you can see how statistics does a bit of math-bending for simplicitys sake (eg. standard deviation formula) and still claim to be a serious science.

Why does talking things through come up with a solution rather than just thinking it?
My info might be out of date, but I think for a long time Debian was not including some audio codecs like MP3 because there are some patents around it. I think there are some proprietary drivers like NVidia that are also excluded.

I think the Debian distro has always targeted/attracted free software purists.
I often find it hard to understand why classic tracks are being remastered and often prefer the old. But the stereo mixing on many tracks of that era are quite painful.

Often wondered how good the current technology is to split music into individual tracks.

Do modern sound mixing/editing software or plugins provide this?
One of my favorite things about modules is the little embedded messages in the files from the author. Sometimes they were about the music, sometimes a shout out to friends in the scene, sometimes very random. Reading them even ~25 years ago felt a bit like archeology.. Now? Most definitely so.

Mod Archive was great but long before it, I found the best music randomly on random BBSes. Quite a different age.

I’m flabbergasted by how often HN commentators who should know better keep refusing to acknowledge the trade-offs in the technical implementations of crypto. What SQLite database running on raspberry pi is immune from seizure by relevant government authorities for helping with criminal transactions? Compare and contrast with Tornado Cash, which still works fine despite being OFAC sanctioned.

Now, you may not care for law evasion, and that’s fine. But it’s asinine to pretend that crypto tech is not better for such purposes than “an SQLite database running on a raspberry pi.”
