Isn't that partly related to some SOCs combining some existing arm blocks with new risc-v blocks?

With the US admnistration cracking down on China chip manufacturing, I wonder if we still will be able to find cheap risc-v boards.

I work for a Billionaire/Businessman/Philanthropist and he's currently taking FB to court over the fact they are running adverts featuring him advertising shit like bitcoin scams and obviously multiple fake accounts.

FB can do better, and should be held accountable (in particular for taking money to advertise bitcoin scams)
Yeah, I was real confused at first wondering what manufacturing helm.sh were doing. Didn't help that trying to navigate via the top nav bar of the site to figure out what helm is (was?) just 404's.
Yeah, only s2 here.

Strange, that KDE still writes "Suspend to RAM" under the "Sleept" button when it cannot do that.

this is a sad news.

adoption of ARM just started to pick up in server & laptop market, it could be a nice alternative to x86, yet short sighted decisions like this from ARM is going to cause huge uncertainties.

RISC-V is great, I am all for it, but let's be realistic, many people including myself have been waiting for 2 decades to see the current upward trend of ARM in servers & laptops, how many extra years we will have to wait for RISC-V to catch up and get to ARM's current position? An extra 5-10 years? Intel must be laughing!

As an ex-ARM & ex-Qualcomm employee - middle finger for both companies, you greedy licensing bitch.
Basically it is just another way of doing gotos, while keeeping the abstraction of function calls, without the space required for recursion stack data structures.

Having this as guarantee allows all the control flow concepts to be reduced to recursion and function calls.

A kind of purity when we reduce a programing language to the basic set of primitives that provide the building blocks to create any kind of programming paradigm, this is in a way the beauty of Scheme, moreso than Lisp.
Ask HN: How would you design an alternative Twitter
So much talk about Twitter alternatives in recent days, including people migrating to Mastodon and even Jack Dorsey announcing his new decentralized social media platform.

I was thinking, if I was to build a new micro-blogging aka Twitter alternative, what technological choices would I make to get it quickly off the ground but allow for scale?

What database technology or approach would you go for?

Would you build a (mobile first) web application first or would you start straight away with a native iOS/Android app (maybe Flutter)?

Would you go for a centralised or decentralized approach? If the latter, how would you decentralize it without sacrificing the "public town square" effect that Twitter currently has but is clearly lacking with the fragmentation of Mastodon?

To answer my own question, I would probably build a centralized platform like Twitter is now, probably opt for a fast NoSQL database like Google's Firestore in Datastore mode and to keep things simple I would probably even make sure that tweets would get automatically deleted after some years as I don't think it's needed to build a forever growing database of people's thoughts in that moment that persists for decades to come. Micro-blogging always felt to me as a thing right now, a thought in this moment but that thought could be different in a few days, months and definitely a few years, so why store it forever. Feels like I could save a huge operational cost and prevent abuse by not keeping tweets for beyond their relevancy.

What are your thoughts?
The Ghost Cities crop up every once in a while, but they aren't actually a problem. They usually turn into actual cities.

(There are some other problems with Chinese GDP figures, but Ghost Cities aren't among them.)
>Meanwhile, neighboring vignerons with terrific bottles are locked out and can't sell their bottles for half what a mediocre champagne goes for.

Going by this assumption, the neighboring vignerons have zero incentive to try and make a product that could compete with decent Champagne. A winemaker selling their bottles for 500 can invest much more money per bottle than a winemaker selling their bottles for 50.

So even if it was all marketing at some point, it ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Agreed, this article is basing it's numbers off of this (linked) study: https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/airdrive-images/wp-conten...

If you view page 6 and 7, you'll see why these numbers are largely irrelevant since the boundaries for all the "cities" except NYC (which is the 5 boroughs) include the large swathes of suburbs/exurbs around the city.

A study looking at 23-wards vs Inner London vs City of Paris would be a lot more informative.

BTW, the writer of the article seems to simply be using these numbers to push his view that real estate prices will continue to go up in Tokyo. Housing Japan, a Japanese real estate agency that caters to foreign investors shows pricing for apartments in the 23 wards have been on a pretty crazy upwards trajectory [1], but 1) this is denominated in JPY pricing, and the exchange rate has tanked by 35% vs USD this past year, and of course, I'd be much more interested in seeing that post revisited in 2023...

Well, 3 years later and maybe $100k-200k in lawyer fees and maybe you'll be made whole. If you don't see the issue there then I don't know what to tell you.

Unlike Intel, ARM is not in business of selling chips. They license ISA so the treatment will be different.
How is that a systemd issue?
This statistic is completely irrelevant because we have massive outliers like WW1 and WW2 and then a host of small, proxy conflicts afterwards. You don't make statistics based on mixing apples and oranges together and then making classifications out of it.

Plus, that Post article is ridiculous, you would obviously not put conflicts 200 years old like the US-Mexican war next to a conflict with modern weapons which are by nature much more deadly. If we go by this definition then most conflicts these days are in the upper 1% of fatalities compared to the whole of Human history, and that virtually says nothing interesting.
Arm had a good idea to drive up sales of their non-core IP, didn't realize how much device manufacturers really like device specialization for sub-ms asynchronous time warp, low power hot-word detection, not needing to get directly involved in fab, nor did they realize how much this looks like an antitrust case since "i wannabe the sole chip manufacturer on the board" isn't that subtle, "chips per board" is actually a reported metric in quarterlies for public chip companies.
Yeah, I actually agree. I wish they had a larger SUV(the model y is considered a small SUV) and it not being the model X. The X is essentially their large SUV/Wagon but it is a price range where there aren't enough other benefits for me to actually make the purchase. The Model S is still the most appealing car they make for my liking and the Cybertruck will eventually be once it's in mass production.

The middle ground I have decided on with my husband(since he wants a bigger car) is Model Y this year and the Cybertruck for me since I have had my reservation since the beginning and I will just wait for it(probably at least another 1-1.5 year even on an early reservation).
Doesn't even need to be as far as Antartica.

I recently went on an international trip where I turned off my regular cell plan and used a local SIM card. Was surprised at the amount of services I couldn't log into because I was avoiding connecting my regular number due to the high international rate.

I store my files chronologically. Every time I want to store something I want to keep, I make a folder with the name format "2022-11-01 something something". The text here is just a short description in natural language. If I feel like it I add a tag here like invoice or photos. The point is to make it searchable. I easily find most things I am looking for with Directory Opus and Recoll.
We are talking about object lock as supported by something like Amazon S3 or Backblaze B2. If you find a way to override them, you probably want to apply for a bug bounty, since that'd be a huge security issue.

It works really nicely, I can't even remove my own data with my own credentials. It's really a nice additional security layer.

I wouldn't say Polish cities have proper public transit. Warsaw, a city of 1.7 million, have just 38 metro stations. The other cities, with population sizes of 500-700k, don't have metro at all! Compare that to Copenhagen, which has 39 metro stations, with a population of just 600k people. Only when reach that level, cars will truly be redundant for majority of people. As it stands now though, travelling via car in cities is still usually much faster than going via public transit. It's only natural that people don't want to waste their time with the inefficient public transit.
I always thought it was odd growing up that everyone called it a “weegee” board. Because that’s certainly not what its spelling would suggest. Is that pronunciation universal, or just local to where I grew up?

Softbank is trying to IPO ARM - see https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-24/softbank-... or https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/best-destination-softb...

And it's notable that their target of 60$ billion is aspirational - but even that is in a sense shockingly low considering how much all the various players in their market rely on them. Apple has a 2500 $ billion market cap; TSMC 320 $ billion; qualcomm 132 $ billion; nvidia 336 $ billion.

In that context, it makes sense they're trying to improve their negotiating position to increase the promise of higher future income. Gotta pump that IPO value somehow...

A phrase constantly repeated in my anthropology class comes to mind: "to survive and reproduce". You have the survival part down, but you are missing the other half. I think anyone without kids is at high risk to feel empty as they get older (I say this as someone without kids).

Maybe adopt a dog? I think you can even foster them if you just want to try it out.

I believe I have implemented an LRU cache that needed to use LinkedList internally to be efficient. It never saw production use though, it was mostly an exercise.
I am old generation Star Wars fandom, and I actually liked what The Last Jedi tried to do. It didn't really succeed, but questioning the Jedi teachings, or at least Yoda's approach to them, that drove Anakin and possible Count Dooku to the dark side, and that Luke had to ignore in order to defeat Palpatine, is an awesome idea, and one of the few things left to really move Star Wars forward at that point.

It didn't come out well, was muddled in other crap, and the whole trilogy was crippled by two arguing directors, but that basic idea was solid. If that was indeed the intention.

I also liked the first half of The Force Awakens, when it was still about the Search for Skywalker, before it turned into Death Star 3.

Combine the first half of TFA with the good bits of TLJ, and you've got a good story.
So it's everything many of us really are?
I actually know how these things work and you don’t need to lecture me with what you thought you understood someone bragging in a PowerPoint to mean.

They get that info through legal processes like subpoenas that Twitter is entitled to fight because they’re private. And they put lots of legally unnecessary effort and their own money into fighting them; other platforms don’t try nearly as hard to stop it. See the DevinCow case.

Of course Elon just fired the exec who did this.
If you're looking for a more generally useful and powerful SBC, the space is taken by mini pcs ( Intel Nucs and their clones). AFAICT SBCs are a strange middle between microcontrollers (Arduinos, ESP32s, etc) and computers that seem to come out of the myriad of options from mobile chip sets; more generalizable than microcontrollers, not as extensible as a minipc.

Odroid seems to have the most powerful hardware in the SBC space currently, support varies by project.
I'm honestly not really sure that's true. People want safety, but I think when it comes right down to it, they want freedom (aka the thing they want to do to just work) even more
Ask HN: Do you have to be able to write great code to recognize good code
I see on Twitter various comments about the print your code out thing, and some are saying Elon can't code, so what would the point be for him to look at it etc etc.

Internet evidence seems to suggest Elon can write some code, maybe not great code, but not nothing.

My question is, is it possible to recognize good or even great code, if you can't write great code yourself?

Edit : I can't even spell, I got Elon's name wrong second time, I'll blame the phone keyboard...
How is it that the number of transistors still grows exponentially, while the power use has plateaued?
> Well, debian sets the "version.BuildTime" option when it compiles it to a constant value each time it compiles it: https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/docker/-/blob/4f1f...

I feel like I understand why this is done, but it still feels extremely odd. We're making tools and such lie to us in the pursuit of reproducibility and oftentimes this means erasing certain information, that we might be interested in actually keeping!

Surely, we should be able to do better than that, something like:

/my-package
/reproducible
[CONSISTENT_BUILD_OUTPUT_FOR_CODE_INPUT]
/non-reproducible
build-time.txt
build-system-information.txt
build-log-with-timestamps.txt
build-package-mirrors-that-were-contacted.txt
build-step-timing-information-and-traces.txt
[OTHER_STUFF_GOES_HERE]

Of course, I don't think I can answer the question for where information like this should go for every tech stack and package type out there.

That said, it's absolutely annoying to build a container image with Jib (just an example from when I last tried) and then see in Docker that its build time was supposedly decades ago. While having incorrect timestamps isn't the worst thing ever, I can imagine other pieces of information mattering more.
I'm not an American, so I wouldn't know.

The question was: How does it fit in? Because the government is involving itself in actions of censorship, even if it is one step removed.

Similar to how I can still be accused and convicted of a crime, if the only thing I did was facilitating it? I'm not a lawyer, but I hope I'm getting my point across here.
Taints is a funny name when you look at it like that but taints are actually the opposite half of the story.

If you want a Pod to be scheduled with a certain node you need to add affinity.

The taints are to ensure that your average nginx pod doesn't run on the specialty hardware and block the pods that actually need it. In theory the scheduler could be smart enough to evict the pods that don't need the special node but IDK if the kube scheduler is smart enough. Even then it may he preferable to have the taint though to reduce the eviction rate.
Do you use more than 25tb+ of CDN traffic per month?
I'd say yes, an hour to work - while long - is pretty acceptable to most. Many caveats here such as reliability of transport etc but it does come down to time.
> it's a dog whistle for groups including 'liberals', left wingers, and - historically - Jewish people

Well not necessarily. In some contexts that may be how it is used - I've heard GOP hardliners in the US using it this way. But for example the "elite" in the UK would largely refer to the right-leaning upper-class who attended "public schools" (note: discussed on HN previously, public school == very fancy, expensive, exclusive private schools) and Oxbridge, and who stumble into well-paid careers in finance and politics. I wouldn't say religion is a big part of it - both Jacob Rees-Mogg (Catholic) and Rishi Sunak (Hindu) would be considered members of the "elite", but their religious beliefs are orthogonal to their place on the class hierarchy.

Remember most native libraries are native libraries because they do some compute-heavy task. They probably involve lots of hand crafted SIMD ARM assembly. Porting that to RISC-V isn't trivial, and most app developers can't be bothered for the tiny number of low-end RISC-V users.

Instead, those users end up using the ARM apps via an emulator, and that makes them even slower on an already slow cheap phone.

End result: RISC-V gets a reputation as a very slow and very crap CPU architecture. Just like MIPS and x86 on mobile got.
Trouble is that is expensive than meat and more difficult to cook/eat. Otherwise would be a great alternative, I don’t understand why all the “not meal” companies aren’t making also “not fish”, with the same nutritional values but without have to fishing.

Automatic1111's fork is pretty good in the no-messing-around sense – on my Windows box (which has an old but decent gaming GPU), all it took was running `launch.bat`, and it set up a venv, downloaded dependencies and wired everything up, and opened the Gradio web UI.
RISC-V is looking pretty good right now.

Yes. Trusted relative has a letter with info how to find the master pw in case both of us die or become incapacitated. It is physically on paper they need to find, stored in our residence and in a bank sd box (in case of fire), so they won't be tempted ahead of time. Set it up years ago.
The alternative you provide is still speciesist to a degree. I like the suggestion in a sibling comment to this one which avoids referring to any animals, though.
This. "Elites" is a motte-and-bailey term[0]. If you ask what it means, you'll hear all kinds of reasonable definitions like self-reinforcing networks of people, created by happenstance (e.g. everyone graduating the same prestige college the same year) and thus inaccessible to randos like you and me, that end up ruling things. Etc. But then the way the term is actually used by the anti-elite crowd, is mostly to mean "anyone with a reasonable argument I want to disagree with anyway, but who has qualifications or credentials that make them hard to be dismissed outright".

The numbers are pretty irrelevant. You are focusing on an example (not even one I proposed) instead of the point being made.

I think it needs to be in the control of the user. What do you want to see and how do you want to see it?

Of course I don't want the pile of shit that the YouTube comment section often is (Google Plus' YT integration was probably their worst idea), but when someone shares a blog post, so I comment on the share and discuss it with my contacts on the social network, or do I comment on the blog itself so the blogger knows about it and can respond? I want to be able to do both.
Specifically, loops are a special case (with special syntax) of tail calls for language that don't support tail calls properly.

However as great as tail calls are they can't practically implement all control flow concepts. Eg they aren't really all that great for modelling exceptions, I think.
