150 ms is the time it takes for a person to see the input and then do something (like pressing a key or blinking). That's a two way communication with processing (thinking) time included. The actual input reaction, as the time it takes for your brain to register something, is faster.

In addition to that, the reaction time does not actually matter. You would be able to see a sub-reaction-time delay because your brain has a way of timing and synchronizing events. Look at it this way. You send a letter on March 1. You receive a reply on March 10. It doesn't matter how much later you actually read the reply, on March 11, 15, or in April - you still would know that it took 10 days to get the reply.

It's a management role. They want you to understand and navigate the bureaucracy involved in being a middle manager in city government.

With all of these it's a matter of quantity. For instance, bullet point 9 about soy makes me question this list. It turns out that phytoestrogens are much less potent than real estrogen, and the only people that were found to have measurable effects from soy was through a study of older men that ate massive amounts of soy every day in Japan. There is real estrogen in cow's milk, which would have a much stronger effect than soy, yet no one speaks about this. Hops in beer also has more phytoestrogens than soy.
Assuming we can trust Brave, the article clearly states: "Brave Search only uses your search query, country, and device type to show you ads, and does not keep any kind of profile of your searches."

My question to somebody who understands this more than me, by collecting query, country, device type, is that enough info to identify users?

Doesn't Brave automatically get User Agent strings, too?
"Elon Musk pulls a date out of his butt".

I am on to this act. All these dates are not something his engineers tell him that's possible, or at least he doesn't care if they are truthful. If you say "no" in a meeting with him, you might as well go back to your desk and pack your stuff.

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/part-one-i-do-not-like...

Note that the podcast was done long before Twitter, back when Musk had some serious personal cache, so it's probably the most both-sides pod in the series.

It really dives into the myths that he has created of himself. The part where they mentioned how Elon and his brother routinely jacked emeralds from their grandfather's pocket in NYC and then sold it for petty cash - he never mentions THAT.

It's basically creating unrealistic deadlines to make the people down the ladder hustle.
Although the situation is ideal for class action, federal law caps the penalty at $500,000 for class action and so depending on the number of class members the amount I'd get as a class representative is likely less than what I'd get in an individual case.

The only two apps that are affected by Knox is Samsung Pay and Samsung Health. And that is only an issue if you decide to flash the stock rom back on the device. If you use custom roms they typically have a workaround to get both of those apps working with the Knox fuse tripped.

The easiest daily driver to root is Sony and Google phones. You simply unlock the bootloader and flash. There's no nonsense to deal with.

> There is a broad number of drivers in many different programming languages available for both solutions. While Memgraph only maintains a few in-house drivers that it develops and supports (C, C++, Python, Rust), most Neo4j drivers can also be used with Memgraph. This is due to the fact that both solutions use the Bolt protocol, labeled property graph model and Cypher query language.

Can I really create a Neo4j driver object from the official Neo4j Python driver and point it at Memgraph and my app code will work as expected?
I had a similar thought today when feeding some crows. Usually they don’t like it when other people show up, and they leave or hide for a bit in a tree or some such. So by proxy I don’t like having people around since we all have to wait. It’s a nice bit of converged purpose I guess where I adapt my behavior as well. Most people who go there are usually oblivious of any birds. They just don’t see it.
Oh, my. I still have my old BBS setup in totes in my barn. This brings me back to being 14, persuading the phone company to run an extra line to my grandparents hours using a "note" from them that said I could. I'm not saying I wrote the note, but they didn't know they had a second line :-)

My recollection is UK immigration required you to pass some sort of UK version of TOEFL. US only has an official "language test" during naturalization and it's basically just one question that immigration officer asks you. Quite a difference in effort.
In FPSes in particular, every millisecond of latency typically translates into peeker's advantage due to how lag prediction works. Or sometimes disadvantage, in the netcode that is poorly implemented or optimized for poor connections. It also depends on the movement velocity.

In games with really bad netcode it can get ridiculous, influencing the entire gameplay - for example in PUBG beta, which had about 200-300ms of actual client-to-client latency due to the very low server tickrate, you had to avoid running directly towards the corner to look around it, as enemies could see you running out in the open for a split second then rubberbanding back.

Long sigted. The investment starts from scratch. Why not invest in some places cheaper? Why not invest in a place that has better expertise?

Overall the long term vision is to wrestle some control away from China. That is the long term bet the US and tsmc are ultimately making and what's driving the decision. But economically this is a bad bet.

I'm heavily involved in this area of research (getting deep learning competitive with computationally efficient statistical methods), and I'd like to note a couple things I've found:

1. Deep learning doesn't require thorough understanding of priors or statistical techniques. This opens the door to more programmers in the same way high level languages empower far more people than pure assembly. The tradeoffs are analogous - high human efficiency, loss of compute efficiency.

2. Near-CPU deep learning accelerators are making certain classes of models far easier to run efficiently. For example, an M1 chip can run matrix multiplies (DL primitive composed of floating point operations) 1000x faster than individual instructions (2TFlops vs 2GHz). This really changes the game, since we're now able to compare 1000 floating point multiplications with a single if statement.
I think there’s somewhat of a disconnect between the original idea of WASM (in browser) versus headless. In the browser folks get JavaScript for free which collects its own garbage. WASM is there to supplement higher level language for performance-intensive tasks and as such, “lower level” languages make more sense for these code paths.

I’d like to point out also that providing users a million languages to write plugins in for a product could create a lot of bloat. Imagine an image editor with 5 plugins, each written in its own language running in WASM sandboxes: golang, C#, assemblyscript, ruby, python. That’s 5 runtimes each running it’s own garbage collection logic.

I can see the value for compute hosts because the very nature of the provided service is allowing users to write sandboxed apps. But I think for stand-alone applications it’s best to support one or two simple targets, whether sandboxed or otherwise.

There are languages (Lua for example) optimized for this already.

I suppose the benefit is that each application which uses the WASM backend can decide on their “official” language and provide a decent built-in IDE experience.

Google is first and foremost an advertiser.

The search engine, android, all the random short lived products, they're all attempts to find new ways to put ads in front of eyes. The only way google is "done" is if someone can figure out a way to put the ads in front of more receptive eyes/wallets AND do it on Google's scale without first being acquired or killed off. This means they would need to more effectively gather information about the viewer.

This language model is neat, but it doesn't attempt to gather much info at all. It's almost completely orthogonal to Google's business model.
These all seems like pure marketing. I would love to see actual technical benchmark (this would also make prime HN material even today). Usually companies that actually think they have a performance edge publish those ;)

Thanks for the reference, just bought Chip War.
I loved this paragraph:

> People are complex, and they get energy in complex ways. Some managers get energy from writing some software. That’s great, particularly if you avoid writing software with strict dependencies. Some managers get energy from coaching others. That’s great. Some get energy from doing exploratory work. Others get energy from optimizing existing systems. That’s great, too. Some get energy from speaking at conferences. Great. Some get energy from cleaning up internal wiki’s. You get the idea: that’s great. All these things are great, not because managers should or shouldn’t program/speak at conferences/clean up wiki’s/etc, but because folks will accomplish more if you let them do some energizing work, even if that work itself isn’t very important.

A think I've found challenging about management is that /people are different/. What works for one person in terms of motivation or style of work won't work for another person. A big part of effective people management is understanding that and figuring out what style works for each of the people you work with.
Even if that is enough to identify users, you'd have to show evidence that that information is being handed to advertisers, which is what GP accused them of.
Or those early transactions are the only reason it ever grew into the behemoth it became. So if you were an early adopter, spending a little to make the rest of your stash valuable could be seen as an investment. If the guy didn't buy the pizza, then maybe Bitcoin never takes off.

That being said, I've never thought it would work well as a currency. I do like Ethereum due to its digital utility though.
That reminds me of the old movie Mimic, in which supposedly sterile insects are released to prey on other insects transmitting a disease to children. The infertility part didn't work and it got messy.

One thing flakes enable is "easily run some other source".

e.g. to run the latest build of Nix from the GitHub repository NixOS/nix on the master branch, it's:

nix run github:NixOS/nix/master

Or (say) the Helix editor has a flake.nix; so a similar command would work for that. -- Being able to use nix code without having to fetch the source first is pretty neat.

A less contrived example of where this is useful is with Home Manager. Setting up Home-Manager without flakes requires adding a channel (or requires using a NixOS module, which only works on NixOS). -- Whereas with flakes, you can declare Home Manager as an input, so that applying the Home Manager configuration can be done with less effort.

Flakes are like "nix's nix". With nix, you benefit from putting in effort to declare the inputs of some package, and how its outputs are constructed. With nix flakes, you declare where the Nix code you're using comes from.

So these results were not cherry-picked since the same queries were run previously in our CI infrastructure. Yep, as you have said, performance is just one of the things that matter. A lot of things matter when picking a vendor, some are mentioned in the comments.

What is specific in graph space is that things are still quite early days compared to relational database space. This means performance differences are big, and playing a more important role.
it's not that easy since not all the information (e.g., additional fields for some sites) gets exported, so you still need to do manual check to avoid losing access (and of course you don't remember which sites you had those fields set up). So it's still risky to delete LP after the switch

"Migrating away from C/C++ is challenging, but we’re making progress. Rust use is growing in the Android platform, but that’s not the end of the story.

To meet the goals of improving security, stability, and quality Android-wide, we need to be able to use Rust anywhere in the codebase that native code is required. We’re implementing userspace HALs in Rust. We’re adding support for Rust in Trusted Applications. We’ve migrated VM firmware in the Android Virtualization Framework to Rust.

With support for Rust landing in Linux 6.1 we’re excited to bring memory-safety to the kernel, starting with kernel drivers."

Yes, having thin plastic bags of food waste out on the street for hours every single night is quite clearly the fundamental issue. To me, there's an obvious path forward in removing a few free parking spaces on each block and replacing them with rat-proof containers, and reorganizing the sanitation department support collecting from bins rather than bags on the sidewalk.

The political will is key here, since to effectively fix the issue someone will need to stand up to the sanitation union, who will be concerned that this new paradigm will require fewer workers, as well as to the thousands of seething car owners who will fight tooth and nail to keep their free parking spaces. So far, nobody has wanted to take on this challenge, and so the residents live with filth as the rats continue to feast!
> When you have a educational system that is, in it's core, unchanged for more than 100 years, and where the only goal is to enable everyone to pass and not to learn, then it is hard to see any other outcome.

I think this idea that the most important thing of all is that everyone passes is a good example of the mediocre mind’s value system. It’s utterly pointless. There’s plenty of work you can do without understanding calculus. But it does limit excellence, and (sadly) I think that’s the whole point.
I'm assuming that's why they have Rust in the mix there, for where performance is still critical.
