Vulkan requires you to ship shaders in spir-v format, it doesn't have a source-level shader language. The generous interpretation is AMD just forgot to ship the source for those spir-v blobs since it would be a different toolchain.

Looking at the size of the blobs, though, I'm not entirely sure why you're claiming "so much" of the functionality is in those blobs. Most of them you could probably pretty trivially disassmeble & understand, especially given all the inputs & outputs are not obfuscated. And the actual function code of many of them look to be relatively small.
Russian industrialization started well before the USSR came to power. The Trans Siberian Railway for example first opened in 1904. The locomotive’s boilers, engines and some other components were built in Saint Petersburg, industry was alive and well at the time.

Arguably it was the new power blocks associated with industry that destabilized Tsarist Russia, not that WWI helped.
> Why buy votes when you can own the representative directly?

Except it doesn't, the donors are just paying for someone to listen to them for a moment. US political donors get a far worse deal than someone paying bribes in an actually corrupt country would.

> Why should someone who donates massive amounts of money to a campaign have more sway over a representative than another constituent.

Similarly as any friend or acquaintance would have more sway over a representative than another constituent. That's how it works when you hire humans to decide things.

2008 "should" have been a severe global depression for 2 years, hitting the UK very hard. It was an extremely drawn out, perhaps decade-long, recession masked by zero/negative interest rates.

The UK's performance wrt the growing west became uncorrelated in 2008, and negatively correlated since Brexit came into effect 2020ish+.

The UK was, in many ways, ground-zero for one of the most severe financial crises in modern history. It has never really addressed that, nor does it have an answer for a version of the UK which can exist "in the shadow of that event".

The UK's "best future" from 2008 was an significant pivot to "boring tech", a pivot to the EU, and a rationalised financial system which could support both goals. Instead, it redoubled on relatively pathological elements of the financial industry and away from the EU.
Obviously. What I don’t understand is why those who claim to be concerned are focused on one and ignoring the other, bigger problem. We should be prioritizing efficiency in emissions.

> One example. They have to find Brexit benefits so we have pointless plans to depart from eu rules. Result is higher costs for businesses and uncertainty for anyone trying to plan.

I don't think this has anything to do with Brexit, Brexit was achieved when the UK gained sovereignty. This is clearly a really dumb move to do quickly and unplanned. They are on purpose putting an insane amount of pressure on politicians to look through literally thousands of potentially important documents.

One reason could be that they think the Labour party have a real chance of election in the next cycle, and they want to sabotage them from being able to rejoin the EU.

I suspect the real reason has more to do with purposely destabilizing the legal system to promote growth. The idea would be that you suddenly open tonnes of holes in your legal system that relax regulation and open profitable loop-holes.

In the long-term these EU laws do need to be repealed and merged with the British legal system, but you could set a more realistic target like 10% per year or something. I would at the very least commission a study to be conducted to evaluate the actual contents of these laws.

I think what ends up happening if this is stuck to is that we end up with a broken system that _nobody_ understands or knows how to enforce. We then end up with rushed and messy legislation being rammed through to plug the holes, which open up other problems. We will also likely see other things being slipped in under the rug that further erode people's freedoms.

I have a correction to your understanding of JIT.
Well, it is just because the middle class in China, mainly in Shanghai and nearby, has almost replaced the middle class in the west. It has been like this for the past +15 years or so. Money is a relative term. Every government can print and use money. I think the more important one is purchasing power for goods and services. In other words, someone needs to produce goods and services, and then you buy with your money and start to feel happy after all. I think there are two critical things to say on the production side.

1-) China is not producing goods as before the pandemic. Another one is China's zero-covid policy, like bringing down the entire city for just one covid case.

2-) Europe's energy problem. I'm not an expert on this, but Europe's reliance on Russia's cheap gas could be Europe's competitive advantage in the markets. So, when it is gone, I might expect purchasing power could drop significantly for Europeans.

> I was more so interested in how belief or association with those who believe in "creationism" compromises business/technological endeavors in space exploration.

I'm talking about people who literally believe the Earth is only thousands of years old, which is 100% contrary to all space science.

And if one happens to believe that Jesus is going to come back any day now and take us — well, maybe not me, but take some people — up to Heaven, then one probably has a very different attitude toward climate change than those who believe that the Earth's environment needs to last humanity for millions of years more, if humanity is to survive that long. According to the ultra-religious folk, God made the Earth for humanity, not Mars, so what do they even care about Mars?

Instead of repudiating science denial, Musk says "Unless it is stopped, the woke mind virus will destroy civilization and humanity will never reached Mars." So he's clearly chosen sides, and picked his battles. But it's not the side or battle you would expect if his life goal was saving the environment and supporting scientific exploration.

Batteries tend to longer if you don't completely drain them in each cycle. I strongly doubt the typical driver covers 200 miles in a day — otherwise cars would only last three years. IIRC you can extend the useful life of a typical Li-ion battery significantly by only charging it to 80% most of the time.
Not that you care but I straight up ask people with sunglasses to take them off if they want to talk to me. I take covering your eyes as hiding.
Both your original comment and this one make zero sense because you seem to fundamentally misunderstand the dislike for Elon, and you seem to be projecting it onto Tesla and then extrapolating it to EVs in general.

People can dislike Elon without disliking Tesla.

Again, your argument is illogical as presented, and I suspect is borne out of an emotional reaction to the aforementioned wealth growth that you spoke of.

I was wondering how this compares with xv6, which is a Unix v6 like 32 bit system written for teaching so peeked at the book and the code. I've only scratched the surface but the developer of the project says that he's deliberately written the code in a very simple style to make its function clear and obvious. I'd agree. It does seem pretty easy to understand. It's also very much simpler in structure and the facilities that xv6 in terms of the facilities that it offers. Fun project and it might be a good place those wanting to understand operating systems to start. Here's the repo for it.

If it's pure, there's no benefit to a list of forms in lambda. As only the last one would do anything. If define is a mutator, the language isn't pure. So 2 and 4 are in conflict.

Perhaps it is pure excepting the top level, where mutations such as define are permitted.

Ask HN: Why is it hard for one to know what they want?
Inspired by so many posts on about self improvement couldn’t help but ask this question.

So many self help books etc have this as the fundamental question “what do you want” and then figuring out the action plan etc.

People spend significant periods of time meditating trying to understand themselves and what they want.

For some College years and professional years are spent bumbling as they don’t know what they want.

All in all it seems incredibly hard to know what you want.

I have my theory and will go first:

- the world is random. As such so is your environment. Pair that with the a fickle human mind and you get something where you may know what you want now but not what you want over a longer period of time. The fickleness of mind together with randomness of ones environment leads to wanting/desiring different things at different times. So while one may know what they want now they may not be able to get a handle on a deeper pattern of what they want or the general types of things they gravitate to. There is very hard to know what you want (over a long period of time (which is what is often implied in the question what do you want))

If that hypothesis needs to be validated or nullified then it’s seems like meticulous journaling of what you want now and it’s why etc. would be one way to collect a record of those things. Over time with enough collection and review of the journal one may be able to see atleast a pattern of the types of things they want/ gravitate to. That’s the worse case scenario. The best case is you get immediate clarity on what you want.

This approach could help in understanding what one wants for their current phase in life (5/10 year) and not necessarily what they want for the rest of their life- even still it gives a great directional answers.

Finally it may be impossible (for the avg human) to know what they want for the rest of the life given we change as a person over time. You are not the same person you where 10 years ago. So there is a high probability that what you want now is different from what you wanted 10 years ago.

Aviation currently represents ~2% of total emissions according to our world in data. So yeah, not that much.

On the long tun though, we have to reach net zero. And if possible even go into negative carbon emissions. 2% isn't much but there are probably activities much more critical than flying which we could use our carbon offset capabilities.

My biggest concern with aviation today are people flying private. It is symbolic but I don't think we will be able to ask people to sacrifice some of their comfort if the wealthiest people are not in the same boat.

I think we've very good evidence against IQ being a measure of intelligence.

But in any case, what we're talking about is the meter-ruler called "IQ" and its use by the most batshit HRish elements of soceity, and the most pseudo-scientific elements of psychology.

In a world where major employers are using IQ to guide their hiring practices, we're not talking about a quiz on the back of cosmo.

We're talking about a world where business (, uni,...) has outsourced its obligations to fairly consider the merits of individuals to the cult of psychometricians extremely happy to provide astrological justifications for ruining people's lives.

An entire medical establishment has been created by the IQ test, which exists across (at least the west) as a filter on entrants. What strange, bizarre, and often poorly sutied creatures have found themsleves in positions within this establishment?

When one looks around at the society the IQ test has created, one should be aghast. Why, so often, are nurses better than doctors? (etc. etc.)

Thank you for the re-welcome! I've been in "science" for 15 years now, it's always good to be welcomed again.

You should know that the cohort you would like studied was actually referenced in the article as a further avenue of study and an additional publication! So your critique of the current study is actually just a complaint that it isn't your cohort. They've outlined their materials and methods, you could maybe do a study yourself?

Everyone involved in the supply chain has a motivation to dilute their product to make more money. There aren’t any standards on who dilutes the product, or by how much, nor is there any guarantee the dilution is done in a reliable way.

4% for only 10-15% of the world population, while most other industries distribute more uniformly.

>I also suspect people tend to think everything in life must have tradeoffs, D&D character points style. Like, you have X points to go around in total and if a percentage of that goes to intelligence/skill, there must be very little left over to put into charisma.

The truth is probably somewhere in between though. The time/energy constraint is what's most apparent to me since working full time.

As an adult you have to cram cooking, cleaning, hobbies, relationship building, etc all into your small limited evening windows and weekends.

If you want to be good at something you need to put time and energy into it. This means that you can't be good at everything.

So if you like to spend your time reading, maybe selecting nicer clothes (that often need ironing or handwashing, i.e. time) will maybe fall by the wayside, because you prefer reading books. Meaning that you look worse than you could, because you prefer your hobby.

Similarly somebody who spends a lot of time on their outward appearance might not have the time left to be as interesting as they could be.

In the end of course you may have talent or natural good looks. But as soon as you start needing to think about where to allocate time you will face tradeoffs.
