I worked at Intel’s main R&D site from Sandy bridge to Meteor Lake bring-up on a team looking at electrical data. As I recall, the first Cannonlake wafers produced data relevant to me around New Years Eve 2015. This was not the first 10nm wafer by a long shot —- the process had been in development for years at that point and with many test chips run. Still, the initial data was so unbelievably bad, due to the lowest metal layers (supposed to be 10nm’s secret sauce), that even just looking at the basic line resistor test structures it looked like the measurement machines had malfunctioned or had the wrong hardware configuration.

Worst bring-up in my time. I feel bad for the architecture team. I know Intel is getting dunked on my AMD right now but internally the worst of it was years ago. I retain confidence in the direction things are heading now

Well, the distinction between PKB (personal knowledge base) and "personal" publishing is kind of artificial. "Digital gardens" is a proof of that.

But it is a useful distinction, and Logseq/Obsidian seem indeed on course to become the WordPresses of PKB with their large plugin’s ecosystems.

However, you never know: It is a very fast moving (AI is barely in) and low entry (and exit, like @AthensResearch) domain. So, my personal wish is for better "interoperability" rather than any "lifetime licence" type of stability.

> One of the major flaws in this common female thinking, is that by initially frustrating the guy, it will make them "prove" themselves to her. Some women even take it to extremes, to weeks and months.
However, this abusive behavior towards guys can become a filter, which leads to her encountering guys that simply want to "climb the mountain" for revenge. After getting sex or the relationship, its all the more sweet for them to break that woman's heart (who they may have designated a game player) by suddenly going ghost on her or treating her badly after they have "accomplished the mission".

Is just gross.

By official stats, aviation is something like 3% of global emissions. Global emissions seem wildly underestimated while aviation emissions are pretty hard to obfuscate.

I also couldn't believe when I found out a Learjet 7 seater might get 4MPG while an average US-sized SUV pulls about 12mpg. I thought it would be an order-of-magnitude or two different, not a factor of 3. Trucks are even closer. Americans drive trucks that never go off road or haul or tow.

And I think industry is far worse than individuals about emissions.

Overall, would I say planes are good for the world? No, not really. But I don't think they're anywhere near the first or most valuable place to focus efforts on

Sure, and people have been saying this for quite literally 1000 years.

The country has been geographically "unbalanced" for most of its history, and if you understand preferential attachment, you'll see why.

There's been nothing one can do to "rebalance the UK" for several hundred years at least.

20% of the population lives in london, and it often has ~1/3 of the people in the country in the area -- as tourists, travelling in, etc.

No one in a millenium has done anything to "plan" this
The party that proposed it did well electorally last time too. Apparently there are lots of people in Scotland who vote for the SNP without fully agreeing with their goals.

I'm neutral on the topic of Scottish independence but from a purely tactical perspective it'd be surprising if another referendum could be won at the moment. Sturgeon appears to know that and looks a lot like she's trying to string the SNP base along by claiming to want one without actually getting another referendum.

Problems any new campaign would face:

- The EU. It could be mostly ignored last time. A large part of the SNP base is pro-EU and wants to join as a separate country, whilst another large part of the SNP base is genuinely pro-independence and wants Scotland to be ruled by Scots. These two positions can't be reconciled. EU membership means rule from Brussels. The SNP is theoretically an independence party but would be campaigning on a vision of gaining full independence and then immediately attempting to give it up again, and this would create weaknesses that any competent pro-union campaign would presumably exploit. The hard border and being required to join the Euro would also be a new requirement that wasn't a part of the debate last time.

- Relatedly the financial situation is now worse than before and the EU might not want Scotland as a consequence, as it would be expected to replace the UK's massive subsidies. Joining can take years, in the meantime it would require severe austerity measures to stabilize the new state's finances.

- The SNP has never resolved many of the open issues that caused them to lose last time. What currency would they use, would there be access to the BBC and other infrastructure, border issues, North Sea decomm etc. These questions had clearly been left to the last minute and the pro-union side hammered that fact to great effect. Yet they don't seem to have got much further with the planning since. Tactically this just strengthens the unionist attack line that the SNP don't really want independence - if they did, surely they would be obsessive about all the things they'd do differently after leaving the UK and would have whole libraries devoted to the topic.

If the SNP want to force and win another referendum they need to start having these discussions with their supporters, even if they're unpleasant (e.g. adopting the Euro is generally unpopular).
I graduated from engineering school 20 years ago and I've gotten to do a lot of interesting, satisfying projects since then. The advice that I give my kids (and anyone else who asks):

1) Pick one or two things at a time to get good at. When you start feeling like you've pretty much got that nailed, then pick some other way to challenge yourself. Ideally one intellectual challenge and one physical challenge.

1a) This becomes much easier under pressure. For example, instead of just "oh I want to learn something" it needs to be in the service of some larger goal. Maybe it's for your job, maybe it's for something you're doing as a hobby, but it needs to be a Project, not learning as an end in itself.

2) Incremental progress is the only kind of progress that exists. Make incremental plans. Celebrate small victories.

A lot of martial arts is an "after school club" activity. It could very well be not martial arts related at all but more general social training the instructors wanted from us that time around.

"IQ is part of a large “nexus” of positively correlated societal outcomes. IQ correlates positively with family income, socioeconomic status, school and occupational performance, military training assignments, law-abidingness, healthful habits, illness, and morality. In contrast, IQ is negatively correlated with welfare, psychopathology, crime, inattentiveness, boredom, delinquency, and poverty."

I am also in the camp of engineers who prefer stability over bleeding edge. But I do understand folks who prefer the latter modality. If dependencies are gonna break, often its more desirable to have them break quickly with a short remedial cadence to follow. In my own anecdotal experience though, "short" is probably too charitable of a descriptor for the time to fix.
I mean he's right. At some point if we're just robots playing candy crush or watching tiktok after tiktok - what's the real downside of just matrixing our society. I mean yes there are people that still skateboard or ski or hike, but if the population that finds meaning in activities disappears in the next 100 years, there's no reason to have physical anything. Might as well call it or fight back.
I'm also surprised someone hasn't made a parody LLM-based HN thread generator yet. Perhaps until recently they were too busy writing crypto startup business plan generators to bilk gullible VCs.
The use cases are that government regulation will only grow & expand & the centralized DNS based, clinet-server internet will be at the mercy of hundreds of companies forever making publishing & commenting & sharing online harder & worse. The use case is avoiding an overreliance on a small number of hosting providers. There is something real about making everyone competent not just at accessing things online, but in being able to online parts of themselves.

That said, it's indeed all mostly bollocks. This was a pretty fun read, albeit I'd appreciate some of the flourishes of language being blunted down to something more meaningful.

I was also hoping for a connection to the micro, the personal. The succees of this shit is largely tied to people's utter ognorance of computers & computing. There's such a mix of reasons for this, but underlying it all, the first gate of the equivalent Drake Equation of computing knowability, is that we dont even try to expose computong itself. Applications are isolated, prebaked experiences which reveal nothing about the inner clockwork & which expose only bespoke arraingememts of buttons pictures & forms. There is no attempt to make computing malleable or holistic, no attempt to empower, only an attempt to better outpredict & specialize on the needs of the personas we pre-craft. It's a hogwash piece of shit project we are up to, that forever conceals rather than makes naked the craft, as it should. Without this start, the Drake Equation, the funnel of gates that narrows ever down to anyone knowing anythint about computing, will forever start with an eye of the needle. Fuck this.

The Ada Lovelace Institute has an incredibly condemning report on people's relationship to digital data ecosystems & how badly disempowered we humans are. Everything here goes 10x for the computing, for the algorithms; we sometimes can get data dumps or sometimes control our data, but computing is mostly closed source, utterly inaccessible in every way, often running on cloud neo-mainframes fsr beyond our reach.

Do you have your sim archived anywhere? The original seems to be down.
I just published the source code for the first app I ever built, all the way back in 2003: https://github.com/aaronbrethorst/irooster

It "turns your Mac into a $2,000 alarm clock."

I originally made it because I had endless amounts of trouble waking up for my morning classes in college, and found that the only alarm that could get me up was a subwoofer right underneath my bed. So I hooked a 2.1 speaker system up to my Mac, wrote a little app to start playing an iTunes playlist at a particular time, and ended up productizing it.

It was never a huge commercial success; I think the best I ever did with it was about $2,000 in sales one month after Apple featured it in a newsletter (different times!), but it taught me several important lessons about building a commercial software product that still guide me today.

Enjoy checking out my super janky code!

The difference is caused by France more heavily subsidizing/capping energy costs. It reflects a short term deviation in market policy triggered by gas shortages, not some fundamental divergence.

Re: food- Fresh produce in the PNW is incomparable imo. Never had anything like it in the world. In the UK I was largely limited to Sainsbury's etc., which have pretty poor quality food and produce.

Here in the PNW the variety (and quality) far exceeds what was available to me in the West Midlands, Greater Manchester and Greater London (not sure about other parts of the country).

It's a very pleasant luxury to not be limited to supermarkets.
My personal favourite is Queen of Angels. (The sequel was a disappointment).

Eon is the best, but it's tied to the geopolitics of the 80s.

Blood Music is, I think, almost as good as Eon but isn't quite so "of it's time". Slightly more accessible. I'd start there. He also has a fine body of short fiction, including the short Blood Music is based on. For that, you could try the collection Tangents.
> They have to find Brexit benefits so we have pointless plans to depart from eu rules

The purpose of this is two-fold:

1. Make it harder for future governments to reverse Brexit or reverse parts of Brexit

2. Make it harder for Scotland to leave the UK by making it harder for an independent Scotland rejoin the EU due to regulatory differences
> The situation with Northern Ireland is different because Ireland is part of the EU

It's also significantly worse, as there's only around 25 scotland-england border crossings, whereas there are over 200 border crossings between NI and ROI (more than on the entire eastern border of the EU).
What was the expected cost of Brexit in terms of wage stagnation and inflation relative to EU?

Sure, now the cost is added on top of the global average, but the UK economy would be suffering regardless, now it’s just suffering more.

But this was a deliberate choice. The Brexit was about “are you willing to pay X to get Brexit?”. Even low estimates of X were pretty bad.

HN “needs” karma points because HN has karma points and is over all a good forum. Changing it at this point risks changing the balance that makes HN what it is.

The problem with changing words is that women, females, who are more at risk of attack than males, lose their ability to have their own spaces and identities and to organize for their own safety. As we see they actually face attack for continuing to fight for their sex-based rights. That's identity appropriation.

> I don't think changing the language is bullying, shaming, or pushing an agenda

It doesn't have to be but it is. Look at the three-year long hate mob attacking Maya Forstater and JK Rowling because they objected to losing sex-based language. They both receive many credible death threats. That's bullying to push an agenda.

Even when this is sugar coated it's a poison pill. Accepting that males could be "trans women" immediately requires you to accept that they should use the women's washroom despite being the wrong sex and that sex being the large dangerous one. (Females in male spaces isn't a safety issue so I'm ignoring it for now.)

> people making changes that are logically consistent with how they experience the world. Again: if trans men exist, then pregnancy must occur in men and women.

Occam's razor would suggest that if a person is pregnant they probably aren't a man. Being that man basically means "the people who don't get pregnant". That is the difference between sexes.

> The reason you hear people react strongly is because they believe they have a simple logic, and people come in and say, "I deny that trans men exist, or I deny trans men are men." That's a pretty strong thing to say and a pretty strong thing to hear.

You say that as if your trans man friend will vanish in a puff of logic. Nobody is denying that they exist or threatening to make it happen and it's emotional blackmail to exaggerate like that.

There's a middle ground we could shoot for. These people would probably agree your TM friend was Masc (/Femme), because as a newly created word it doesn't have an existing meaning and isn't used to gate access to single-sex spaces like prisons.

You use words like "comfort", "support", "included" and say that you feel uncomfortable entering "gendered" spaces.

I submit that women are not supported, not included, are uncomfortable, and actually are unsafe when men enter women's spaces.

You use the word explore. I like that and definitely agree we should
pursue tools for exploration.

To me, knowledge and music do seem like infinite landscapes, and I'm
excited by the idea of ways to extend the range and speed of exploring
that infinity.

But to many people - I dare say a majority - that's not how they use
technology. They want right answers. Correct opinions. Curated lists.
Approved facts. Selected content channels... And our industry has
shaped itself to "deliver" that, in cheap convenient forms.

Or rather, that's not what technology allows them. An additional layer
has grown over the top; People who have opinions on what others should
think, say, do and listen to, and those critics, censors, pundits,
marketers, influencers and companies who fence-off the roads and place
their signposts decide what may or may not be explored.

To call that exploration is a stretch. The tools they end up with,
perhaps from choice, are not a pith hat, map and compass for
exploration. Not a hitchhikers guide. Not even a taxi service. They are
strapped into a roller-coaster and spun around a track by someone who
has decided their "user experience".

Exploration is risky. Explorers freeze to death, or are eaten by
lions. I don't see a lot of call for that, sadly. Given what we've
built in entertainment I am a little pessimistic about extending that
to knowledge engineering. The idea that computers might bring that
same culture of constraint and approval to the very act of thought, a
kind of thinking-on-rails, is depressing.

> If your sex is female you have ovaries. Period.

Who wrote that? Not me. That is a cynical attempt at zooming into a very specific feature as though it is defining. (Which the green apple vs. red apple fallacy actually helps demonstrate!) Basic common sense tells us that a woman is defined by many anatomical (and, consequently, behavioral) traits.

Let's look at the Wikipedia definition, which matches the definition that the vast majority of humanity understands and agrees with:

"...inherit a pair of X chromosomes.."

"...are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause..."

"...lack of a present, or functioning, SRY-gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes..."

"...Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva..."

"...a wider pelvis, broader hips, and larger breasts than an adult man..."

"...Women have significantly less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than men..."

Conversely, we can say, quite clearly, that a person born with a penis, who then has the penis surgically refashioned into a "vagina", who has top surgery, and who undergoes significant hormone treatments clearly does not meet that definition.

This is a transparent, motivated attempt to erase the definition of woman.

Again, let me be CRYSTAL clear. Saying "trans woman != woman" is true and OK to say. It does NOT equate to saying trans women are bad and should be mistreated. To say, believe, or act on that is NOT OK.

Trans women are trans women, and that's OK.
