I'm a huge simp for M1 too (and there's SVE there too). Yeah for client stuff if you can get people to just buy a macbook that's the best answer right now, if that does their daily tasks. Places need to start thinking about building ARM images anyway, for Ampere and Graviton and other cost-effective server environments if nothing else. If you are that glued at the hip to x86 is time to look at solving this problem.

Apple's p-cores get the limelight but the e-cores are simply ridiculous for their size... they are 0.69mm^2 vs 1.7mm2 for gracemont, excluding cache. Gracemont is Intel 7, so it's a node behind, but, real-world scaling is about 1.5-1.6x between 5nm and 6nm so that works out to about 1.1mm2 for Avalanche if it were 7nm, for equal/better performance to gracemont, at much lower power.

https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/qlcptr/m1_pro_10c...

Sierra Forest (bunch of nextmont on a server die, like Denverton) looks super interesting and I'd absolutely love to see an Apple equivalent, give me 256 blizzard cores on a chiplet and 512 or 1024 on a package. Or even just an M1 Ultra X-Serve would be fantastic (although the large GPU does go unutilized). But I don't think Apple wants to get into that market so far from what I've seen.

(tangent but everyone says "Gracemont is optimized for size not efficiency!" and I don't know what that means in a practical sense. High-density cell libraries are both smaller and more efficient. So if people meant that they were using high-performance libraries that would be both bigger and less efficient (but clock higher). If it's high density it'd be smaller and more efficient but clock lower. Those two things go together. And yes everyone uses a mix of different types of cells, with high-performance cells on the timing hot-path... but "gracemont is optimized for size not efficiency" has become this meme that everyone chants and I don't know what that actually is supposed to mean. If anyone knows what that's supposed to be, please do tell.)

(also, as you can see from the size comparison... despite the "it's optimized for size" meme, gracemont still isn't really small, not like Blizzard is small. they're using ~50% more transistors to get to the same place, and it's almost half the size of a full zen3 core with SMT and all the bells and whistles... I really think e-cores are where the music stops with the x86 party, I think i-cache and decoders are fine on the big cores but as you scale downwards they start taking up a larger and larger portion of the core area that remains... it is Amdahl's Law in action with area, if i-cache and decoding doesn't scale then reducing the core increases the fraction devoted to i-cache/decoding. And if you scale it down then you pay more penalty for x86-ness in other places, like having to run the decoder. And you have to run the i-cache at all times even when the chip is idling, otherwise you are decoding a lot more. It just is a lot of power overhead for the things you use an e-core for.)
If it is gibberish, why do many people apparently think it makes sense? Are you using 'gibberish' to disparage something you dislike, rather than to describe something as nonsensical?
I thought COVID required lockdowns because symptoms only appear after days of being contagious. SARS definitely presented a fever very closely following infection, and thermal scans in airports were effective. Not so much for COVID.
I personally support the legalisation of psychedelics so it's not a law I support, but I've always found it a very clear and fair piece of legislation, if one accepts that the government legislates within a certain framework of precedent.

If we take a look at countries like Germany or the Netherlands we see a cat and mouse game where each parliament outlaws the latest psychedelics and then the psychedelic community unveils their new analogue or precursor. We can mark the years by small additions to the basic LSD molecule. We've gone from 1p-LSD and 1cp-LSD to 1V-LSD and now onto 1B-LSD. The stimulants and dissociatives communies seems to favour flouride, it's easy to and doesn't bind to much.

The UK law bans anything sold primarily for inducing psychotropic effects, while the scheduled substances sections at the end add very fair provisions for items commonly sold as food. That's why it's actually an exaggeration to say the law could affect the spicy food trade, as food trades are one of the explicit exemptions.
Hmm. all the same source, as if there is an agenda...

Recently there were news articles of how leprosy bacteria can repair diseased organs to perfect health, and then infect it.

I wonder if leprosy could be used in the lab grown meat industry to make it grow better.

It seems a lot of people don't know or don't care where their food comes from, and to the extent they do know or care, they'd like the source to minimize harm.

If this alternative way of meat production can taste about the same and cost about the same, then I think people who like the taste of meat will be buy it.

Some vegans and vegetarians don't want it because they don't like the taste of animal meat, whether it came from a live animal or lab.
For discovery, I no longer use app stores, music streamers, youtube, amazon, etc. I am stuck with time wasting organic searching. I think there is a huge market for trustworthy curation. Google may have beat out Yahoo, but I think it will cyclically turn back around as all platforms become more and more inundated with junk that drowns out valuable content.

Very true - I'm a little bit older, so I view the Amiga user interface as superior (at least in some ways - I describe it as "the feeling that you have the computer's full attention". Windows doesn't give me that even today.) - and also recognise how much Windows 95 borrowed from other systems. (RiscOS in particular)

It came as quite an eye-opener to me recently to realise younger people now entering the workforce view the mouse as an archaic input device.
Money and capital are different things. Capital in a broad sense is any durable good that is employed in the production of goods and services. For example, a road. Money is not capital. Money is simply a good without intrinsic value that is used as a means of exchange. As a result creating and destroying money doesn't create or destroy wealth.
Ok, switch from cattle to bison then. Lab growing isn't going to be economically feasible for a long time yet.
The mechanic of clicking the pinyin or translation above a word to hide it for every occurrence is great and feels satisfying to use somehow, but I think the NLP quality leaves something to be desired.

I tried to construct an example sentence demonstrating multiple issues: 几百个人中没有一个愿意帮李苧。 https://www.mandopando.com/file/ffa240af-2713-4d75-b1a9-b62e... (I used the Simplified Chinese view; having to explicitly select it when the input was already Simplified Chinese was a bit weird.)

几 jī "small table" should be jǐ "a few"

个人 gě rén "individual" should be 个 gè "measure word" + 人 rén "human"

中 zhōng "China" should be "among"

个 gě "used in 自個兒|自个儿" should be gè "measure word"

李 lǐ "plum" should probably be "surname Li"

苎 zhù "Boehmeria nivea" should be 苧 níng "tangled" (苧 is an edge case I like to use for testing, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambiguities_in_Chinese_charact... for more)

(Not being able to select ruby text was a bit annoying when making this list.)

The translation "used in 自個兒|自个儿" makes me think you're probably using a dictionary based on CC-CEDICT, but the third tone on the 个 in 个人 suggests that it's probably an older version with many errors, so you should be able to improve the quality a bit by using the latest release https://www.mdbg.net/chinese/dictionary?page=cc-cedict

Based on the pinyin for 几 and 个 I suspect you're sorting possible candidates lexicographically and picking the first (ji1 < ji3, ge3 < ge4). If you have a lot of free time you can just make a big list of the best choice for common words, or crib my work here: https://github.com/Tatoeba/sinoparserd/pull/2

But there will always be some instances where your choice of dictionary entry will turn out to be incorrect, so I think it would be nice to have a way to see alternative possible interpretations.

This is further confirming that big tech is all in on controlling the conversation and controlling who can participate or not. Why isn't Apple blocking the phones of those toxic users? Why aren't phone carriers like ATT blocking phone calls they deem problematic? This is only happening with social media and online communication, which is increasingly the main way to communicate.

I once owned a 1.5 acre property that had approximately 1.4 acres of English ivy on it. It was horrible; the ivy is, by all practical means, impossible to kill. An area covered with a tarp for two months looks exactly like an uncovered area. The only way to get rid of it was to pull the roots out of the ground, mostly by hand. And it grows new roots every meter or so.

If you want to get rich, invent a way to kill ivy that does not also kill people.
I'm assuming it's a sufficiently large personal budget that means I'm relatively free to do whatever.

I want to make a local/personalised photo-album backup system that can annotate my photos with who they were and at what time. So then I can easily create a timeline of my grandfather's life or my mother's story, which my family could just add to and keep annotating in perpetuity.

(Note photomyne does this, I recently found, but I'm not sure if I like the company yet to trust them with this data)

Then the next bit would be organisational apps, perhaps try and find a way to make life easier/automatic. Then perhaps robot simulations and video games.

Good question, thanks for asking, I've been doing some soul searching on my career and what I want to do with it. I've decided that I don't think the start up hustle culture is for me..
>You are suggesting a cause-and-effect that is nonsense. Make an unreliable 4WD with great supply chain, and they won’t sell.

So you're calling Jeep reliable?

That's surprising coming from someone who's clearly drank the Toyota koolaid.

>“Toyota’s Tacoma and Highlander are also on the low-cost leaderboard

These are not low cost vehicles. That's just farcical.

Furthermore, Toyota specifically avoids running good financing deals in the NA market for brand image reasons and to manipulate the secondary (used) market (basically to keep low class people from getting their hands on them and over time dumping a bunch of trashed examples on the used market dragging down the brand image e.g. Nissan Altima). Per your commentary this has clearly been very effective.
Even with 10% losses he lost less than those storing equity in ultra boring indexes.

Honestly anybody who only lost 10% in the last year looks like a genius (crypto included).
There's no such thing as "safe" or "unsafe" in an unregulated space (hence people saying "no") but if you're asking about relative safety then Coinbase is probably the safest of the centralised exchanges. The alternative to a custodian (like an exchange), self-custody, is "safe" in that it removes counterparty risk but it's "unsafe" in that you are now entirely responsible for keeping your coins in your control which means dealing with the risks of loss and theft.

A better question to ask is: what are you trying to protect yourself against, and what risks are you willing to take? Without insurance (whether that's government provided through a regulatory scheme (which does not exist in crypto), or personally through an insurance provider) you're exposed to a bunch of risks that can be minimised but not removed.

I don't own any cryptocurrency but if I did, I'd either use a specialist custody service or an exchange I trusted. If I was going to self-custody, it would involve multiple hardware wallets across multiple safe deposit boxes.
Ah, I was using the "engineering" meaning. In engineering, "superheated steam" is steam heated beyond its boiling point at a given pressure.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheated_steam

https://www.spiraxsarco.com/learn-about-steam/steam-engineer...

In a steam boiler, the boiling and superheating are often done in different locations: the water is first evaporated in one section, then the resulting "saturated steam" (i.e. at vapor-liquid equilibrium) then passes through a hotter section, often called a superheater, which heats it further beyond the boiling point. Superheated steam is better for turbines than saturated steam.

That would be interesting to know. I’d love to see a copy of OpenNT. Sadly, my experience started with it when it was already Interix. I know Microsoft negotiated source access/licensing with various third-party software “manufacturers” (like w/ Citrix for WinFrame). I’d love to know more about the arrangement with Softway.

So much history is slipping away.

I've spent a few days in Volcano national park, right before the 2018 eruption.

We could see lava splashing in the caldera from an observation point (Which has been closed since then - not that it would be of much help, since the lava level has also dropped.) We could hike geologically active areas (sulfur vents), and across decades-old lava flows. The latter was an incredibly surreal experience, due to the sharp transition between dense jungle and alien wastelands.

There were hiking tours available for walking up to the lava at night, but they seemed pretty sketchy.
Interesting! I guess most realistic scenarios would have x and y on the stack though in which case I bet they'd get optimized out completely under normal circumstances.
If you apply to a post with a qualified resume and don't get a response or get rejected for trivial reasons, and then see the job posted again the following month, that argues against the steady growth theory.

I think the "this is a skill" just refers to the various things needed to form and maintain friendships (being good at conversations, taking social initiative, following up, etc.) More of a set of skills. And to be fair, my interpretation is that it is a set of skills both people in the process of friendship possess and need to practice to make things work (it is possible after all to be a bad friend or a bad partner due to your own lack of effort or skill with eg communication or vulnerability).

My highschool history teacher once said the answer to nearly everything is money.

Why don't we have mobile app stores that operate in a manner similar to package managers? Money. Why can't I install what I want on my iPhone? Money.
> It only allows the compiler to assume loops with non-constant expressions can terminate. (And a bunch of other exceptions where it cannot.)

That is basically what I said: loops can be assumed to terminate, except for an enumerated set of exceptions where infinite loops are allowed.

You seem to be defining "true infinite loop" to mean "while(1)" or "for(;;)" exclusively. But "for (int i = 0; i < 1;)" is also an infinite loop, and that one is UB since the controlling expression is not constant.

> What this rule allows the compiler to do is to optimize away loops where number of iterations are known ahead of time if it has a non-constant expression condition.

If the number of iterations are known ahead of time, then it is not an infinite loop so I don't see how the rule would apply.

The rationale for making infinite loops UB is described here: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1528.htm

Specifically, it allows for transformations like turning:

for (p = q; p != 0; p = p -> next) {
++count;
}
for (p = q; p != 0; p = p -> next) {
++count2;
}

into:

for (p = q; p != 0; p = p -> next) {
++count;
++count2;
}
Perhaps those coinflips would not be random from the perspective of an all-knowing all-calculating god, similar to knowing the seed of an RNG algorithm and getting the same value each time when you rerun the program.
VMs can often be configured to do "live migration" but that doesn't protect a running instance if the hardware it is running on fails completely. There is such a thing as fault tolerant hardware/software stacks but, yes, most modern architectures shift application resiliency higher up the stack.
I agree, and am happy to see this data out there and (mostly) in the open. In my area, there's a bunch of such stations operated by a certain local startup, so I have all the outdoor data I need. I might one day add a sensor of my own to that map (in the past, I briefly used to run a sensor for Luftdaten project) - but at this point, I want to measure indoor data, and adding those to the public maps will only introduce noise, providing negative value to the public.
That's a lot better than it used to be. IIRC, at the time I was working on the mentioned app the Firestore SDK was 700kb minimum just by itself, and with Auth and Firebase Realtime Database as well I believe we were over a megabyte just for firebase! For comparison, our API abstraction layer for functionality not using Firebase was under a kilobyte.

These comments lead me to believe that a lot of people don't realize fiat was invested by regular people. It wasn't all crypto bros playing with space cash. If that fact isn't understood, then it's pretty clear many of our HN friends are simply here to bash on crypto and scoff at victims of a poorly managed investment firm. I personally haven't seen the same takes on, say, Theran*s or whatever other failed VC-backed investment.

In the context of prostitution, the bed should be seen as a sacrificial stone. People often 'choose' this work - sacrifice themselves - because they can care for aging, ill family in ways that would otherwise not be possible.

Sex work irreparably destroys one's ability to desire or enjoy intimacy. A core function of what it means to be human is completely erased.

Through first hand experience, I have gone from being completely pro-sex work to now viewing it as an evil industry.
Long term price stability.

This is not exactly the document you’re asking for, but I think the clearest explanation of the origin of modern Microsoft flatness back in the Windows Phone 7 days is “How print design is the future of interaction” (2011) [1], by the late Mike Kruzeniski.

There are many alternative stores available for Android. In my experience this only leads to:

1. Less trusted software. Can I trust Russian Yandex app store? Can I trust Amazon app store?

2. Focus on upselling their own / affiliated apps.

3. No actual increase in choice. Some devices just come preinstalled with alternative stores for no other reason than their own monetary benefit.

4. A theoretical benefit that "I have choice" and if someone bans something I _might_ be able to install it from a different store. Of course oppressive regimes don't just ban apps, they often restrict internet in more severe ways.
> by questioning my statement that employers are looking for luxury goods.

I explicitly acknowledged and agreed with your statement. What you said jives with what I said. Which stands to reason as there is nothing to argue here, as we covered earlier.

Indeed, you originally came at the subject from a different angle and I did point that out to orient ourselves on the same plane to make communication easier, but nothing about the subject changes as it relates to the angle of approach. The destination is the same no matter what direction you come from.

We can certainly work from different angles, but it will be more work. That said, I'm not sure what is left to work on. Your comment merely indicates that you also recognize that we're not coming at this from the same angle, which is something that we already established many comments ago. This suggests to me that the meat of discussion has already reached its natural end.
