But performance-wise, INTC is crushing AMD. Similar market cap, way higher dividends, way lower PE ratio. There are way more investors on this site than the average social media site.

I know what you mean about the chips themselves, but that hasn’t translated into actual money for AMD yet.
Exactly, it comes off as immature and that he is not serious about his work. I think art is a great hobby but there is no need to bring people you work with into your comics.
Bezos doesn't have to call the editor to exert influence, or give input on every hire.

It's a Bezos company now, and just like all the other Bezos companies, it will consider it's owner's desired outcome before taking action.

Just flip the idea on it's head - would Bezos be happy if WaPo suddenly became a right-leaning publication tomorrow? Probably not... he might actually pick up a phone then but I digress.

The influence is implicit and persistent. There is no reason to own a newspaper other than influence. It's been that way probably forever...
Yeah, tax cuts the past decade had nothing to do with it.

You know the money press ran for almost 15 years before this inflation.

after reading a reddit thread a few months ago about why forks are better than chopsticks, I realized that food and the utensils used to eat it are actually highly culturally intertwined.

for example, a key argument in favor of forks was that fork and knife is vastly superior to chopstick and knife when eating steak. Asian cultures simply don't have this issue, because they don't eat steak, because they don't (historically) have huge pastures for free cattle grazing. in Asian cuisine, meat is served pre-cut, not in large chunks for the diner to cut themselves. therefore, Asians don't have the problem of cutting steak at the table.

similarly, Americans rarely eat soft tofu; although tofu is gaining popularity in the US, mainstream grocery stores and restaurants selling tofu tend to sell firm tofu, probably mainly because it's closer to meat in texture. firm tofu is usually served pre-cut, for various reasons including that firm tofu is usually served with stronger and more uniform flavoring. therefore, Americans don't need to cut their soft tofu at the table.

chopsticks are also useful for taking individual bites out of a shared plate without disturbing the remaining contents. consider taking one bite of a shared salad using a fork: it's impossible to do so without either slightly crushing the remainder of the salad, which is impolite, or using the fork as a spoon, which is highly inefficient (salad falls off easily). Americans don't have this problem because they generally take a large portion of salad using a spoon or tongs, then use the fork to take bites from their own plate where it's acceptable to slightly crush the salad.
performance and TDP, intel do worse than AMD, both GPU and CPUs
And calling that “torture” is abusing language. The US did it in Iraq and Guantanamo Bay and it was a massive scandal because it’s against our values. Torture and executions happen routinely in some countries with no consequences or reporting.
That looks fantastic, thanks! I think it's exactly what I was looking for.
Why would the USAF be the last to know/admit the F35 has failed? It's been open knowledge for the rest of us for the last 10 years or so. I'm on record on the Webs for calling it today's 'Brewster Buffalo' Pilots' Graveyard for years.

JM Greer called it the 'lard bucket' in his book "Twilight's Last Gleaming", also years ago.
The layout is guaranteed and documented as thus: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/option/#representation

> Rust guarantees to optimize the following types T such that Option<T> has the same size as T:

> - Box<U>

> - &U

> - &mut U

> - fn, extern "C" fn1

> - num::NonZero*

> - ptr::NonNull<U>

> - #[repr(transparent)] struct around one of the types in this list.

> This is called the “null pointer optimization” or NPO.

> It is further guaranteed that, for the cases above, one can mem::transmute from all valid values of T to Option<T> and from Some::<T>(_) to T (but transmuting None::<T> to T is undefined behaviour).

Although I'm not sure if the ABI is guaranteed to match (Which could differ even if the layout matches AFAIK). The ABI for Box is guaranteed to match since https://blog.rust-lang.org/2020/01/30/Rust-1.41.0.html , and I would imagine NonNull is the same. Maybe you could open an issue in the UCG asking if you're needing confirmation.
I am talking about any disagreement from the party line getting you banned, not "unhinged extremist views". The fact that you call it that highlights my initial point about political polarization very well. There are definitely subreddits on the other side of the political spectrum which also do the same thing. Point here is that the front page/default subreddits are curated with a clear politcal slant.
Vast majority of media organizations including New York Times are owned by the ultra wealthy.
As with any such subject, it's worth discussing the details but probably not the generalities really (except perhaps in the whimsical style of antirez).

You're right to point out that given the performance characteristics of most modern CPUs, accessing memory linerally is optimum. But it doesn't necessarily follow that all collection data structures should be stored as a vector. Consider a collection traversed very slowly relative to the overall computation. There may not be any cache win if the line's always evicted by the time you come back to it.
Yes, 100%…big time paradigm shift. All has changed. And by the way for context, I ran a top ten data provider for global commodity prices and traveled the world meeting major decision makers from tons of countries. My current company focuses on the labor market and I work internationally. It’s not just what I read, it’s what I see and also, what I hear about when talking to laypeople on the street in these countries.

Don't ask this kind of rhetorical question on HN - HN is exactly where you can find a lot of audience that can honestly answer this question with "today" or "yesterday". :-D
Here's the point:

If I do all the research, understand all the issues, and make a well informed voting decision, I get the same reward as if I randomly vote for the candidates with the shortest names.

Because my vote will never decide any election.
A few years ago my cable internet was capped at 250GB or 500GB depending on the plan. Installed 15y prior. I thought that was absurd… but a 1TB cap across “satellite” internet, I kinda get that. It will come down in price with competition

/r/the_donald didn't even get banned until 2020. In 2016, Reddit was forced to change their front page algorithm after the_donald spent all summer gaming the algorithm to float multiple megathreads to the top of /r/all every day, leading to the rise of subreddits like /r/enoughtrumpspam as a way to bring attention to the issue of vote manipulation. IIRC, as a result of the algorithm change, pinned posts were no longer given special treatment by the algorithm and subreddits could no longer have more than one post on the front page at any given time. It was a rule that applied to every subreddit, but of course the_donald shrieked about censorship due to their sudden lack of ability to shove their nonsense down everyone's throats every single day.
I did the same several years back. Mainly because hitting mark as read in a group/ category marked even new articles that came in while you were reading, meaning you never saw them.
In my experience, Twitter already serves as advertising nexus for OnlyFans and JutsFans porn “stars”.

Why not monetize that even more?

Elon did express the ability for “creators” to “monetize”.

He likes to poll users on these matters, but I don’t think he’s polled this particular point. Given his remarks on the Tesla robot (or whatever it is called) I think I know what he’d prefer.

Donald Knuth was such a surprise!!
That is not how Filecoin and Arweave works. I'm talking about like thousands of users distributing content for free because they like the content and they allocate a percentage of their devices storage to do so.. and no not pinning it, because IPFS doesn't auto distribute a portion based on allocation ratios.

Filecoin and Arweave is nothing more than riskier data storage and usually more expensive that what you'd get with B2 or R2 with like one or two copies at most.
This comment has the same energy as “research flat earth”.

These comments were discussing whether Musk has been manipulative, not whether he broke the law. You just made that part up.

How Grandmother Triode Stole Binary from the Sun
I just stumbled upon this great story [1] and was surprised it had not been posted here before.

"How Grandmother Triode Stole Binary from the Sun" is a newer bit of folk/computer lore, by Jack Manganese. He credits two Cherokee stories, "Grandmother Spider Steals the Sun" and "The First Fire" as inspiration [2].

May Grandmother Triode and Slide Rule Demon bring a smile to you all.

This is AWESOME, other countries have it.

Paypal refunded a customer over one thousand dollars despite the tracking number AND the buyer saying the item was delivered after they opened a case, the buyer simply failed to close the case but they commented on the case saying it was delivered and tracking showed it was delivered.

AFCA got my money back, got them to pay me compensation and I got a personal apology from someone in Ireland over the phone.
Reading this I think I understood what's behind "some tangential thing is majority of success" claims: it is multiplier, not percentage of absolute level.

"One can be 4x more performant when led by empowering rather than bureaucratic boss" is plausible. "Unskilled, slacking person will achieve nearly as much as skilled one in same team" is questionable.
What is easier? 100km on foot or 100km on a bicycle? Almost all people already know how to walk and run, it's simpler and more intuitive. But I bet if you know how to ride a bike, you'll pick the bike.
Funny you say that. I think I did get just that a couple years ago, a fake rice cooker. We tried to order a relatively-pricey Japanese brand and what came was clearly a no-name imitation in plain packaging. First time I think I noticed getting a fake.
I have mixed feelings about this comment. I can't bring myself to disagree with your premises, but I strongly disagree with the conclusion.

> I think it would be naive of us to expect that the statement by the WH or any political body is going to run us down on the details and caveats of their statements unless they are hugely relevant.

> Some of the language used here that this causes 'cruelty and harm' etc. is ridiculous.

> This language within the scope of normal communications enough that we would not even be having this discussion were Twitter to not have initially marked the Tweet.

> The so called 'cruelty and harm' would have gone entirely unnoticed.

I won't disagree but that's because of what "naive" means. It reads that I should expect this kind of behavior, to which I would say I shouldn't tolerate it. I should be able to expect that these political bodies don't produce this kind of statement.

I do think the "cruelty and harm" would have gone unnoticed because it's so common to see this kind of thing. There are people that won't look into this and will have their vote swayed because of it, despite that it doesn't matter. I don't care that it's true when it's so misleading and I don't think it should be tolerated. I do not think it's hyperbole to use this language, disagreements notwithstanding.

I don't remember what it is but I remember hearing a word for this kind of statement. Specifically in public relations, it's a statement that's true on its face and clearly intended to sound good in a particular way, but also missing key context that takes away from the good.

Anyway, often in such cases I will read the context in some public comment section, rather than having it pinned by the staff of the site I'm reading. I can understand that people do not like that this was decided by Twitter staff (and I do honestly expect that's what happened given the account's profile), and I would also prefer that this sort of thing is decided by the community or even not at all.

But I have to end in defense of "cruelty and harm". You can disagree but it would be naive to think it is simply mistaken thinking.
No offense but it is sad that it took you this long to figure it out and cancel the order.
I'm not looking to make this a political thing. It should suffice to say all media organizations are political and have an angle for every story they report or don't report. The language chosen, how the story is framed, how opposing opinions are presented, etc. It all shapes the story.

Even the fabled NPR has a pretty extreme political view they want you to accept. The WaPo is not different, and Bezos (and people like Bezos) only buy media organizations for the influence they provide.
How prophetic is this Trump sign in the Sleep Now in the Fire music video from 1999[1]. I had tickets to the ill-fated Beasties/RATM tour, so bummed that never happened. They've had an impact though, their music is immortal.

CEOs can't underperform, wage earners aren't working hard enough and are just there for money
</flameoff>

I'm a bit surprised this article only mentions replacing the CEO.
It takes for granted that companies are top-down organisations

Some companies perform well without even a CEO, as featured in _Capitalism: A Love Story_ from Michael Moore, and several press cases, like a national teabag brand close to my place.

Also, in every company that I saw, improvements were made by applying ideas from the lowest levels of management (like automating boring tasks), and neither HR nor CEO level.

I don't get why we need CEOs, if it's not to tweet and to have friends to get contracts.

<serious question, i'm not an investor>

Why won't investors experiences with other models of management, when the CEO is underperforming ?

When is the particular CEO underperforming, and when is the model underperforming ?

<serious question, i'm not an investor/>
Geez, I hate PR.
That's not right. Copilot has a copyright supression feature, humans don't. It's actually opposite.
What now? You’re suggesting that the removal of the word “general” turns it into a concept that can exist and be disagreed upon? There can’t be conflicting general principles of free speech over which people consistently disagree? What a bizarre correction.
Contracts are not laws. Contracts are an exchange of value. The civil court system enforces those contracts.

For example, failing to pay your mortgage is not theft. It is a contract dispute.

If you freely accept payment in exchange for not revealing certain secrets, that does not violate your free speech rights in any way.
Well, I employ people from here and pay them double what they’d make and give them opportunities where there are none. Like one of my ML guys - thanks me everyday - he knows it - he was working security at a hospital before I hire him. So not sure where you’re from or your story, but to say my story is cringe…I assume you had a pretty easy life then and didn’t go through the struggle myself or others I’m describing went through. When everyone I talk to here has issues paying the bills for their energy every month, at least I can relate. What do you do for work and what have you achieved / overcome? Seriously asking out of curiosity so I understand the context behind your comment.

All my employees hate to hear the term developing nation and prefer third world…

Honestly my immediate thought was they were scanning them to hack them and keep the data private to use against you. Maybe it's just because I live in the US, but it's shocking to me a government would scan your server and not exploit that somehow and instead actually privately let you know what it found.
Thank you for recommending this... it's wonderful

AMD GPUs perform better than Intel ones, and they do it with close to half the TDP, that's just one example
Site will never go down; data backing the site will never be lost; content-addressability of data means data is guaranteed to be the same data that was intended to be published, with no ability for e.g. a state-actor to tell Amazon to modify what's in the S3 bucket.

In other words: if someone could figure out how to host ThePirateBay on IPFS, then governments wouldn't be able to take them down any more. They'd only be able to take down arbitrary IPFS gateway nodes; and if they did that enough to be a problem, anyone who cared could work around that by just running their own IPFS node. (Or using a browser like Brave which runs its own IPFS node internally.) Content will be fetched from by DNSLink-aware browsers in preference to hitting the gateway specified in the DNSLink record, so as soon as you used such a browser, all the taken-down domains would just magically work again for you.
Fair enough. Though the item is still operational in its desired capacity and I’m still satisfied with it.

Eh, it’s kind of between banning the article and banning the account I suppose. They froze the account until the Post deleted the 6 offending tweets, and the Post declined to do that. Again would be a very believable standoff with any publisher once the story was in question.

Journalists have also propagandized in favor of every expansion of the state and every every war western democracies have chosen to engage in. Journalists deserve to be mistrusted.
If you think management is feeding you bs, then I'd say it's time to bail. I watched and waited while several colleagues rotated in and out of the unit I belonged to. I didn't look into it at the time, but after this went on for more than a few months, it caught my attention. The manager was a deadbeat, but was backed up by her boss. Looking back, that situation was never going to get better. Luckily, I got out before I lost my mind.

Oil companies make a shit ton of money, should we blacklist EV car companies for that reason?
I think with regard to bands like RATM and other anti-capital counter-culture theres a very big question about what is true over the long term:

1) Capitalism will sell its opponents the tools necessary to destroy itself

2) Capitalism will subsume and monetize any movement which threatens itself

I'm pretty sure RATM's choices assumes 1 while the record label etc assume 2.
Theres a lot of interesting historical analysis to be done arguing which interpretation is actually true in this case.
If the decrease in value to Pepsi is less than the gains in Coca Cola, then yes, by the logic of this suit. However, I'd Coca Cola gains more than the loss to Pepsi, then no need to sue.

Cryptography is the basis of Web 3.0, so in a formal sense there is none.

But I think that you rather want an example that is a little farther away from finance markets. Consider, for example, the (in my observation mostly dead) Namecoin:

"Why would they give the money back that they just got by selling bonds?"

That's just what the large incumbent brick-and-mortar banks have done for a decade - because anybody still using them as a primary bank clearly doesn't know better.
