Oh. Well, now you've done it.

I was hoping you'd have given up on UW after that. They're a bunch of scamming bastards who will pester you endlessly to go out and sign up more people to UW.

When you see sense and stop using UW, they'll send you bills for random amounts of money for *years* afterwards.
> The domain becomes your identity and holds long term value in the context of online participation.

So what's the point of the crypto(currency)?

Btw, domains can be sold, lost, or seized. That makes them worse than a private key as a way to verify that two clients are the same entity.

Durable, verifiable identity has been solved by cryptography for many decades. The problem is that you can't prove that any digital entity is a 1:1 map to a physical entity.

For example, my key might be lost or stolen, or I might use more than one key.

Crypto(currency/graphy) can't solve that problem.
Thank you for asking!

Zig has stackless coroutines, I wrote a blog post that explains how it all works at a high level:

There are plenty of plausible choices for terms of the Drake equation that give 0. Remember that the Earth itself is relatively old as planets go - 4.5 billion, compared to the Universe's 13.8 billion; and the current "era" of the universe only began when it was ~9.8 billion years old, so about 4 billion years ago.

So, if we were to assume that the appearance and evolution of life on Earth as the benchmark for how long it takes for life to appear and evolve, and if we assume that life couldn't/was much less likely to arise before the current Dark Energy-dominated era, then it's quite possible for us to be one of the first radio-wave-emitting beings in the whole universe, let alone anywhere in our general area.

Of course, any such assumption is entirely unfounded: we just have no idea how likely it is (and how long it is likely to take) for life to arise and become radio-wave emitters, and even less about how this may have been different in earlier times in the universe. There are perfectly plausible choice for the Drake equation parameters that reach the exact opposite conclusion and give hundreds or thousands of expected civilizations in our neighborhood.
The R7 is not a reflex camera at all. There's no mirror anywhere.
Both are radicals trying to pose as moderates.

Biden is just a puppet these days. Saying whatever’s he’s told to by handlers. That’s been his entire career. How he makes his money.
Ahem. We're talking about a country where a chancellor that pushed for building a gas pipeline from a foreign country went straight to the board of the foreign company running that pipeline after ending his term as chancellor.

Corruption is everywhere, it's just on different levels. Usually in more "developed" (I don't like that word) countries you see corruption on the highest levels, and people actually get away with it.
I was in Tunisia at the airport in Tunis for a departing flight. Having already checked online, I tried going through security with my electronic boarding pass. The security told me I needed my boarding pass. I pointed again to the electronic copy as politely as I could. The security said “this is Tunisia, you need the paper copy.” XD
Even if the entire catalogue didn't fit on there, they mostly exist as edge caches , so stuffing the most popular/upcoming things on there and watching the hit rate is probably good enough to reduce most of the needless transit.

That and they had different tiers of hardware I believe.
Memory Management Units were a big thing for C langage multitasking.

How do you figure? The article outlines MMU development since well before C, it's not like people came up with memory protection because of C.
There are also the multitude of people that use markdown in chat applications, which usually implement a form of WYSIWYG editing, e.g., Slack.
In this case (MD) my pet-theory... "Simplicity"

There are usually a few "models/reasons" to explain adoption.

These models/reasons (mentioned below) all have their own "threshold or critical values" depending on model-and-industry

1. Simplicity: (a.k.a accessibility) MD is def simpler than let say HTML.
I can teach someone MD in a day and they will be 'productive' in it for a wide variety of tasks. I can't teach someone HTML + CSS in a day AND be productive.

2. Price: If you are x5 cheaper than your competitor but provide lets say 0.7 of the feature set you probably going to win
(PS. X5 and 0.7 are the variables to be solved and not real numbers)

3. Better: If you are x10 better and let say only 2.5x more expensive you probably going to win as well.

4. Established-Network(audience): Good example is SQL or USB. Neither is really fantastic and there are certainly better and cheaper solutions out there. Yet it's hard to argue with something in tech that is "good-enough".

Would love to see some big-ass economic study of these and their critical values. Examples: VHS-BetaMax, WhatsApp-SMS-Blackberry, USB-XYZ etc.
TIL that I should specialize in security research.
Ah yes, it's the "yessir" bureaucracy, the "magical piece of paper" bureaucracy. Designed to keep privileges and maybe as a job program
I think there's a difference between the wear and tear in a personal backup server and in a Netflix cache server. We manage several storage servers which see intensive usage, and usually at around 5 years we start to see disk failures.

Parag Agrawal joined Twitter a mere 11 years ago as a software engineer. He went from that to first CTO then CEO in a few years, at a big tech company. I have no doubt he has deep technical skills.
then the critic of the article is valid again. Its just not fun to write a table in a plain text editor.

These are both good points.

1. This is something I would consider unlike the ridiculous points above some of the absolute militant vegans are trying to make. If I was going to do something again it would be more like this rather than strict veganism.

2. Huel is great. I drank it a lot at the time and still drink it today. It’s pricey though.
I'm Deaf (90-100db loss) and while I can hear most things with hearing aids on... I can't make out the dialogue. I think I would miss about 80% of what's being said without the assistance of subtitles/captions.
Modern Teslas can store double the daily usage of a US average household. And that's assuming you have literally zero generation at night (hydro / nuclear / geothermal / pumped storage ).
Because Python has numpy/scipy, at least every AI project I have observed has these libraries.
They're only HN-dupes if they get some nontrivial amount of discussion and that post didn't.
I'm ok with police surveillance of public areas. The main difference between a police officer on foot doing the same is that you don't notice you are being watched and that the camera can travel over more distance more quickly. I'm assuming they delete much of the information they collect eventually. And I mean information, as in names from face recognition or license plates read etc, not necessarily the raw footage which may contain faces and license plates but in a relatively unusable form.

Biggest problem there is that it's a waste of money much of the time.
That project looks vastly more complicated, as the mention of a "C++ interpreter" loudly flags.

The OP's project looks rather minimal in contrast, and very cool. I think I have had this thought too but I (semi-sadly) don't work with big enough compiled codebases to focus on it now.

Epic to see Andreas Fredriksson [1] mentioned as inspiration. I used to work with him in my distant gamedev past, and he certainly keeps knows a thing or two about performance and working with big codebases.

Last P/E was -160. Which is really bad.
A) How much electricity do you think is consumed at night? ( US average daily consumption is 30 KWh)

B) How much electricity do you think can be stored in a car battery? (Tesla batteries are >= 50 KWh )

C) What happens to existing sources of renewable power that will continue to operate at night? ( They can still provide a baseload that accounts for any shortfalls )

There is a reason the best practice is not to do huge PRs because it's very difficult to review. Now imagine one person has to review all the code generated by a company such as Twitter with 3k+ Engineers across multiple years. Is that even possible given the cognitive load? If so how long would it take to produce anything meaningful?
He talks about it for microcontrollers but conveniently ignores a whole range of CPUs between this class and OoO because they don't fit his argument. eg from Wiki:

> The Cortex-A53 is the most widely used architecture for mobile SoCs since 2014 to the present day, making it one of the longest-running ARM processors for mobile devices. It is currently featured in most entry-level and lower mid-range SoCs, while higher-end SoCs used the newer ARM Cortex-A55. The latest SoCs still using the Cortex-A53 are MediaTek Helio G37, both of which are entry-level SoCs designed for budget smartphones.

These may not be the most exciting CPUs but does the ISA matter here? Yes probably quite a bit. Does it matter that they are compatible with beefier OoO cores in say a big.LITTLE configuration. Yes it does.

I wouldn't mind too much if he had said I'm just talking about high end. But he implicitly claims to cover everything except 100k transistor CPUs.
I imagine they'd also have to find a solution for replies and retweets. Those also can also show up on your feed, even if the original post is not from someone you follow.
We had a "sample" of this, at least according to the author, although it was in a less savory direction from those who care about memory safety and things like that: The M1 was optimized to run js shit faster apparently, which he claims is why the CPU is better for mobile machines (macbooks). Supposedly rust is too new for a new arch to design around it.

Tbh, and may be this is just the limits of my imagination, but I'm not sure what rust's guarantees would have on the ISA level, they usually concern safety on the application level. Systems programming in general still needs loads of unsafe blocks to actually work (see the debate a few weeks ago where Linus Torvalds critiqued a patch where rust folks wanted to change memory allocators in Linux so they could play nicer with safe rust code).

Like, ownership and move semantics are really a higher level concept and anything that happens within a single page the MMU will not care about with machines today, so this wouldn't be a small evolution but a completely different kind of arch. Again, may be I'm just to uninformed or lack the imagination.
Enforcement of theft laws is a joke, enforcement of mureder laws is a joke.

The solution is not to get rid of the legislation.
Or don't. This is common advice layman / cloud level famous director advice that is in practice utterly misplaced. There are tonnes of fun little phone film festivals. No influential independent film festivals accept phone films. There are 2 - 3 films shot on phones that have ever been give a major (independent) release / distribution. Only one of those was not from an established director, Sean Baker's 'Tangerine'. They used dozens of phones, a full crew and specialised lenses custom made for the production.

Shooting narrative with a phone is a gimmick - with very few and specific hidden camera doc exceptions. Phones don't teach you anything about the mechanics of camera work or post, from how different lenses change the feeling of a shot to pulling focus ISO, t-stop, color spaces, data rangling etc. They teach bad habits like relying on autofocus and IBIS.

They may be the best camera that isn't a camera, but in terms of starting as a beginner filmmaker - you'd be much better off learning with even very outdated DSLR.
My sister, ex-chef curently a biology student at the uni, have no idea how to develop or how to fix her computer issues. She uses joplin, and edit her markdown notes through a text editor. She told me it took her 5 minutes to understand how to add images (and she still don't understand how the alignment works, but to be fair, only LateX is working well for this).

In fact, not using a WYSIWYG editor have an advantage if you're not a professionnal Word user: you don't loose time fiddling with the setting, selectionning texts, not getting why you should backspace twice here and once there (Fuck you Jira) and remove all "automagic".

I made a post about powershell yesterday and explained that to me, while PS was more pwerfull than bash (and easier), my lack of understanding and trust made me wary. Someone responded to me on a tangent on ExtJS: `it's a really good example of "simple vs. easy"`. This is the case here. Markdown is just simple (for the user).

I think my brother tried to taught her vim and build her a customized vim with markdown, surround, biology french dictionnaries[0] and a better autocomplete, but i don't think she uses it (because while it is easier, it is not simple. Hey, same thing!).

[0] I had no idea you could do this, but he made it so that if she was in the "marine biology" folder, she have a different dictionnary than if she is in the "microbiology" or "chemistry" folder. This made my LaTeX-fu even better than in was.

Wow congratulations on the funding also. It's a pretty good idea and puts a unique spin on SE employment opportunities.
its fair to assume netflix is mostly doing reads and not writes, and also fairly sequential.

Thats very good for longevity of the disks
I like the walled garden. It's one of their competitive advantage. I don't want it dismantled. I don't want to androidify apple. And I am fine paying a premium to keep that walled garden and people who want it dismantled off the platform :)
I believe that replacing vscode.exe that you just downloaded is entirely possible with extension. So if you’ve got compromised browser, it’s gotta be hard to stay safe elsewhere. Lots of attack vectors. Better don’t get infected.
I usually carry a film SLR and the best camera is the one you have with you, true. But the shots missed with my phone before I get it out of the pocket and get the camera app out, are many. I'm faster with a manual focus SLR than the phone.
I don't see how retweets are a problem. If someone doesn't want to see retweets of a certain person, they can unfollow everyone who retweets them. Twitter even allows you to show only original tweets, and not retweets, from someone you follow.
Asciidoc is much better IMHO
it would just be a convenient nice to have, but indeed add no value over saving time and internet bandwidth
I recommend looking at Vitalik's post, which is linked to.

In a nutshell: the program itself is garbled (hence the term "garbled circuits") in such a way that it can be evaluated on garbled inputs.
Say you have a function f(a, b). One way to encode this is as a lookup table. Now, instead of the table mapping from plain values (bits, in our case) to plain values, we set the inputs to be random labels. The output bit is used with the OTM to get the input label for the next function (logical gate).

The security here is that each bit can only be garbled _once_, meaning that Bob can't get the output for a different input.

I'm not sure what kind of fake OTM generator you want to set up. Bob can only get half of the data from the hardware, and that data corresponds to a single input evaluation (if at all).
It might.

But we won't do it.

So it won't.

Just like all emissions reductions on an actual global scale...
You're only looking at the parameters, when in fact such algorithms are also heavily limited by the amount of training data. It may well be that, even if you were right with your 1 trillion parameters for AGI, we might just not have enough training data to avoid under/over fitting.

Note that I am extremely skeptical of your 1T parameters claim - there is much much more to AGI than natural-looking natural language processing + image recognition.

People smoke, use drugs, over eat and drive drunk if allowed to do so.

Socially, people go back to abusing spouses, practice deshumanizing religious acts, elect politicians that just lied to them and buy products that have let them down before.

We do a lot of things that bad for us, that doesn't mean it's a good thing.

If heroin was legal, I'm pretty sure the company selling it would make a good quarter report as well.

It doesn't mean apple doesn't do a lot of things right. It does. People are not very technical, they want sane default. They don't want to fiddle with tech. And apple provides that. In exchange, however, people accept the lock in.
The clang that ships in Xcode uses fake version numbers, but yes, some of it remains proprietary.
So x86 chips are only inefficient because they're fast? Or because Intel only makes laptop and desktop chips?

So how did they fail sooo badly at breaking into the mobile CPU market? Their Android phones were notoriously slow and inefficient.

Also isn't one of the reasons the M1 is so fast because it has so many instruction decoders which is much easier because of the ISA?

The author clearly knows a lot of history but it wasn't an especially convincing argument. Especially the idiotic ranting about what makes something a "real" computer.
Your comment made me check my own (LG Ultrafine 5k) and it’s 140W… That’s crazy. I love this monitor, but am interested in a high quality, lower power option if anyone knows of one.
I've played a lot of VR games, and used the VR desktop mode.

It's not matching a 1440p 27" monitor for clarity or ease of use for at least a decade.

It could do something quite different and do that really well - but it can't replace 1to N work monitors anytime in the 2020s.
I like that idea, but note that youtube already has that - the default "home" tab is the recommendation engine, you can go to the "subscriptions" tab to show only your subscriptions - and people still keep whining about it.
In a lot of these cases - maybe most, in fact - the sludge in the data pipeline makes makes the low hanging fruit hang high.

I've worked on a number of projects where it looked simple to automate from the outset and impossible in retrospect.
And all the electronics and the shutter are still the same. Being mirrorless, it adds an EVF in the place of a mirror and prism.
How many know they want a walled garden or that they are even in one? I don't think most users realize or realize that Android allows getting apps outside the Play Store.
It's always going to be hard to settle on a solution that works for everyone; I also struggle with things like Google Docs. But if people struggle with Markdown and word processors ... yeah, I don't know what else can be done.

> an argument raised on the issue tracker of one of these (CodiMD) was that moving to the correct behaviour would break many existing documents where people had gotten used to lines breaking at the presence of just a single newline.

Yeah, I don't expect the current situation to be resolved any time soon.

Cool Just did it :)
No, but there is fun ways to do it. when i used Latx a lot, i had an awk script that wrote the table in my file from a CSV. Also, now i think most data inspection tools (panda and mysql at least, probably others) spit their data in the terminal in markdown form, so its a cpy pasta anyway.

the only issue with markdown is image alignment. And to be honest, WYSIWYG editors are shit at this too. I'd rather not loose my time.
Check the one near Cape Town, Steenbras Dam. It is a set of two small dams near Cpt that uses a pumped storage scheme. It is currently used to provide load-shedding relieve during the day (cause the state owned entity Eskom is a failure).

So basically, during the daytime, they generate power from it and then at night the pump the water back to the upper dam. As far as I know its been working without any problems. And since the dams are fairly natural and small, and right by the coast (so very little downstream effects), it seems a bit more sustainable. The only wish would be for these mountain ranges to have multiple geographies like this so we can have multiple small pumped storage schemes with as little as possible negatives.
Btw, giving rust like safety is even more fine-grained than this, it would have to ensure ownership for pieces of memory within one program, which seems amazingly tedious to do in hardware.
Product placement is advertising. You only need to tax the transaction for the advertisement not “advertising companies”.

It does get more complicated about how you define that it’s an advertisement vs not. And there’s lots of “paid placement” stories even in “respectable” newspapers that masquerade as news but would be hard to pierce the veil on as advertisement instead of just “free speech”
Twitter is fundamentally different form and IRC channel. In an IRC channel, everyone sees every message, that's why moderation is necessary. On twitter, people themselves choose who to follow and block, they themselves moderate their own experience.
Check out this guy's other work. He'd write his own driver or maybe even build his own fans.
> Being able to keep documents in the same version control system as your code is also a useful tool IMHO. I hate it when management insists on keeping documentation in something like Confluence. If checkout an old version of the code I want a matching old version of the documentation from that time.

I'm a big fan of this as well; another huge upshot is that you can write the documentation at the same time as the code and bring it along during the code review.
We have a pretty good understanding of physics in this area, and one that has stood many significant tests. While it's of course always possible that we're missing something, it's entirely likely right now that there is no new physics to be discovered at the scale of microprocessors. Given that, we have a pretty good idea of how much more could be done in principle to improve processors (if we assumed we could overcome all engineering challenges), and it's not that much more.

My anecdata (owned 8-9 dSLRs) suggests they're pretty robust. I haven't had a dSLR fail on me yet. The oldest camera I have is 21 years old (no longer used, but still works). The oldest cameras I still occasionally use are 12-13 years old. My current main cameras are about 2-3 years old. And they are not being babied. I've dropped cameras several times, I regularly use them in pissing rain, and in the winter they are occasionally subject to arctic temperatures (record is a bit below -30C).
