Sigh. That some circuits are not getting smaller is not really all that newsworthy. Circuit folks have looked at scaling issues for decades, this wasn't surprising.

That said, there are exciting things in stacking layers, and inter chip layer connects (chip on chip technology) that could make more feature dense (if slightly taller) chips.

Heat dissipation continues to be an issue as well.

As someone who started at Intel in the 80's though, the amount of "surplus" cheap resources resembles your typical laptop with gigabytes of RAM and terabytes of disk, there is a huge amount of gain to be had in re-architecting software as there is gain to be had in re-architecting the micro-architecture of SoCs.
You remembered me good old book, written by Sam Walton, founder of Walmart (Made in America).

He said very simple thing, which made earthquake of my mind - he started BIG business in small town on periphery, because in large city, all life is constant pursue against time, but in small city, near only weak concurrents.
So, for responsible initiative person, small town is great opportunity.

Sure, exists exceptions, for example I'm in Ukraine, here war, economy fall more than 50%, I cannot find work in country, near all employers except very few, asked me, if it is possible for me, to move to safe country (or they will not give me job), and government prohibited all males to leave country.

And You might already understand, I'm now thinking, to write book, or to make computer(or mobile) game, which will teach people, how to survive, because infinite time is only thing, which have every unemployed.

Don't give up! Our good times just postponed, but will return.
I’ve built those sorts of apps for 20+ years. For me, the Rails / Flask type approach is much easier to work with.
The theoretical physics is working just fine here, if anything this experiment has demonstrated that Q > 1 is possible. The hard part is scaling this up and keeping Q > 1 for more than a fraction of a millisecond.

Again, there were nightly shootings. I went there personally for about thirty minutes and witnessed a girl screaming at a man that he had raped her. Interestingly, nobody among the anarchists did anything. The people at CHOP literally murdered a teenage kid because he was driving while black - describing this as a "brief grasp at something bold and beautiful" is... not apt.
The ICAO number in the GP's comment is listed in the FAA registry for the N-number: https://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/Search/NNumberResul... (Mode S Code (Base 16 / Hex): A835AF). Are you saying that PIA program can make registry.faa.gov report data that's either obfuscated or out of sync? Why is it not reporting such data now? (Edit: Or maybe GP's comment is using a non-privacy ICAO number and the actual number squawked is private?)
ADS-B data on the LADD list is apparently not public information.

https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/adsb/pilot

It can be crowdsourced, and can be weaponized against individuals. The same way license plate photography can be used to track individual's cars.

Now that this data has been used against Elon's family, a series of retractions are in order.
D'oh, thanks, I've fixed that mistake in my comment.
On Chrome on 2019 MBP, nothing loads until 5secs later. Zooming lags 2+ secs. Probably only good for making a presentation on a beefy machine, not useable otherwise.
Only if they livestream. Most conflict reporting is delayed anyway due to OpSec, and most OSINT has a delay for image analysis before publication.
Can't wait for Musk to go against the FAA for requiring this info be publicly announced and not restricted time wise. He also probably won't affect any account(s) that publish this information so long as it doesn't affect him personally. You know, free speech as approved by Musk and all.
It's not during an exam. If you read the link referenced, it notes that Canvas can log activity even when in non-proctored tests, for which there is no indication or expectation of this happening. For proctored tests they just record with your webcam and microphone anyways.

No-one uses MIDI 2.0 yet, we don’t need it! MPE (https://www.midi.org/midi-articles/midi-polyphonic-expressio...) is only just being adopted (with poly aftertouch instruments and keybeds like the ones in the ASM Hydrasynth).

MIDI has proved amazingly resilient, whether over 5-pin DIN, the increasingly common TRS 1/4” jacks (common on Eurorack or guitar pedals, where space is a premium) or the utterly ubiquitous MIDI over USB. (And ethernet, can’t forget that). Everything digitally controlled speaks MIDI - and not just music, the stage lighting world is all MIDI too. I think that there is a real case that it’s the second most successful wired physical-layer protocol behind Ethernet.
All these planets are necessarily tidally-locked to their star.

That represents an extremely poor environment to try to evolve life in. The only temperate place would be a ring at the terminator with the sun permanently just above the horizon.

With a very massive moon -- or a double planet, like Pluto/Charon, it might be possible to avoid tidal lock.
Compiler Tricks to Avoid ABI-Induced Crashes
That sounds like a complicated way to say there are more ways to screw up than do it perfectly, which, duh.

Not to discount this at all, but... yea

Even if the brains of it become perfect, I doubt the vision-only approach (or has that changed?)

They need at least somewhat decently consistent 'signal' to act appropriately... and there are some mornings I just don't drive because visibility is so poor
Thank you for posting this. Is there any way to access a Xet dataset via a URL (assuming the dataset owner has opted to share in that manner) so that, for example, one could visit a web page that contains some embedded code (JS, WASM etc) which pulls the Xet data into the page for processing?

Ask HN: What can I do about my declining typing ability as I age?
As I've gotten older, my typing ability has decreased. I'm 51-years-old now, and have been typing non-stop since I got a computer in my 20s.

I used to type very naturally and easily, but in the last few years, I've noticed that I make a lot more mistakes. I spend a lot of time hitting backspace. It's not painful, I've just somehow gotten worse at it.

It doesn't seem to matter which keyboard I work on. I have a mild ergonomic keyboard for my desk machine (a slight curve), but I'm just as bad on this as I am on my laptop (perfectly straight).

Typing long stretches of text now is burdensome. I used to love to type (I've written four books, including an O'Reilly title), but now I tend to avoid it. I've started dictating, in fact.

I have no diagnosed arthritic or repetitive stress injury (and again, it's not painful).

Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice, coping mechanisms, or solutions?
Which of these are return vehicles (human-rated or otherwise)?

Just the two Dragons and the Soyuz, right?

Edit: neat that I get to call a spacecraft a “Dragon”.
I guess I'm just talking about the movement in the last 10 years or so (I'm not old enough to remember much before that :D). I think the left had a bigger movement left in the Obama years and the right definitely had a bigger movement in the Trump years. Actually now that I think about it - if you're talking talking strictly about the politicians then I do agree that the right has shifted more (almost entirely due to Trump's presidency imo). However, I'm not sure that voters as a whole have shifted as much.

I'v lived in Texas, Minnesota and California (all within the past 10 years), and honestly none of them have lived up to their stereotypes in the media (with maybe the exception of the distrust between the police and black communities in Minnesota).

Sure California is noticeably more left and Texas is noticeably more right, but the people you see on the news are always the right or left most few percent. I think most people in both parties still fall somewhere in the middle (even if the political representatives don't)

Personally I'm a centrist and I'm not really too concerned with right-leaning politics - the reason being is that I think the party produces a lot of noise, but there isn't generally much substance behind it. I usually check right-leaning media just to see what the left-leaning media isn't talking about. Most of it I find to be bs, but sometimes it's worth exploring more.

On the other hand I find the left-leaning media more reliable, however, I also disapprove of the 'holier than thou' mentality behavior that some people have. I think this creates a lot of superficial communication where people fear they can't voice a strong opinion without offending others or being ostracized. I'm also concerned about the left's ability to persuade what I believe is a more educated audience with subtle biased reporting (i.e. smart people trust what they believe is a reliable source so much that they don't question biased conclusions). I also don't think that the left media's message to marginalized groups is that beneficial to those groups - I think at some point it becomes toxic empathy and leads to people have a 'victim' mindset (but I suppose you have to try to appeal to your constituents somehow :/ )

Anyways so far from what I've seen from Elon he seems to fall somewhere in line with that (i.e. occasionally trolling both sides, and never really falling in line with one side or another). I think that his recent actions definitely make it look like he falls inline more with the right (especially in regards to his trolling), but I think that might also have to do with the fact that since the takeover he has been getting deliberately attacked by the left msm. I'd prefer to seem him stabilize and drift back more to the left, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
It's not a "misguided sense of equality" to suggest that ignoring male violence just because it's less common is bad.
I completely agree on your first point.

However on your second point you seem to be confusing two different things. There's two different systems that you're lumping together as one. The one you're talking about is LADD. Discussed here: https://www.faa.gov/pilots/ladd

FAA even caveats themselves:

> ADS-B Out transmits flight data directly from the aircraft to internet vendors not participating in the LADD program. Non-participating internet vendors collect and post all ADS-B Out flight data on the internet. To address ADS-B Out privacy concerns, the FAA has initiated the Privacy ICAO Address (PIA) program to improve the privacy of eligible aircraft.

Now to your point, you're incorrect. PIA, as mentioned in that quote by the FAA, literally changes the aircraft's ICAO number to a new number and delists it from public registries. Using an SDR or the data from ADSB Exchange only gets you that psuedonomynous ID. Once that's changed again you have to stalk someone by following them to the airport and align the takeoff time of when you know they left with the new ICAO number. That's the ethically/morally/legally quesitonable aspect about all of this.

More here on PIA: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy

> In order to mitigate these concerns, FAA has initiated the Privacy ICAO aircraft address program with the objective of improving the privacy of aircraft operators in today's ADS-B environment by limiting the extent to which the aircraft can be quickly and easily identified by non-U.S. government entities, while ensuring there is no adverse effect on ATC services.
That, or there will be an optimal mixture. Eg, CSP may be akin to baseload and you'd draw from the grid for the rest
Dying from abuse is horrible of course, but most abused people suffer it and its trauma, live some time longer with its effects, and experience being broken in ways they come to understand by being broken in ways they could cope with until they cannot anymore. Before we even talk about the risk of cops, in domestic abuse scenarios, it’s impossible to talk about any of this meaningfully if we’re using death as the criteria.

Once that’s established though… cops are disproportionately domestic abusers. People who live with cops are disproportionately abused. People who encounter cops are confronted with people who are disproportionately abusive in the privacy of their own home with the benefit of doubt of most of society and almost all legal mechanisms.

Your odds of being abused by cops are much greater than by any other person you meet outside your own community, and those odds increase as your odds of being abused by anyone else do too. And as those odds increase, so too do your odds that an otherwise gentle cop won’t do a thing about anyone else who abuses you. Those odds are correlated to the cop relating more to the abuser than their victim.

I’m more likely to die of heart failure but that doesn’t mean I trust the guy who probably beats his wife and probably won’t shoot me. And as I mentioned in another comment, that distrust goes so far as I will not under any condition allow a cop in my pup’s presence if I have a choice. See, they do actually shoot dogs, a lot.
Ask HN: HN Could Someone Help Me Identify the Name for a Type of Button?
Hi there I would like to buy a button for a project I am working on.

The button I have in mind is a momentary button housed inside a 3 or 4 inch long by 3/4 inch cylinder, with the button at the top and the wires comming out the bottom.

I believe I have seen a similar button in movies where the user is holding down the normally red button as some sort of dead man switch.

This is not my intention. Infact it is quite the opposite. Last year my father passed away after suffering a broken back above his diaphragm, because it was above the diaphragm he was unable to cough and clear his lungs. Sadly the only solution to this problem was a breathing tube and the subsequent binding of his arms to prevent the removal of the tube. As a result he was not able to communicate with us or the nurses. I believe his inability to communicate was the cause of him falling into a psychosis that eventually caused his passing.

I would like this button to use as part of a system I am building that will make use of Assistive Context-Aware Toolkit (ACAT) made by Intel and used by Stephen Hawkins.

I am aware that the environment supports cameras and there are other more useful buttons but my knowledge and finances are limited and I just want to make a very simple tool that will help the next poor soul that finds themselves in a similar situation to my Dad's.

Thanks.
Only the Crew Dragon and the Soyuz are designed for human spaceflight and capable of returning to Earth. The Cargo Dragon can also land, the rest are all expendable.
You can admit Elon is extremely petty and short-sighted in private personal matters but admit he still attempts to do good in the greater scheme. That's where I'm at personally. I despise his lack of consistency and restraint in his position of power, but still respect his wider goals in reducing censorship and making bold investments in technological moon shots.

I'm cynical though, I only see lesser evils as all you can wish for in politics and culture. Trusting in politicized public figures = pure disappointment

The most sympathetic scenario re: twitter (ignoring the other Musk issues around FSD/pre-Twitter stuff): a few very public examples of him censoring people for petty reasons VS pre-Musk twitter banning (or silently shadowbanning) many thousands who happened to fall outside the current-thing Overton Window, using equally or worse biased/misguided reasons (ie, 'misinformation') and quietly taking requests from gov/intel agencies... still a net gain over all. But tons of work to be done.
Batch processing is always easier to tune performance over real time one.

Classic example: Batch upserting legacy data into new service.

Instead of looping and try to search for existing items before insertion, we could search first, then insert in batch!

>Good news, in the US at least, you have the right to have your own weapons. Firearms, especially, are a force equalizer. So, there's that stopping them from coming to your house and harming you and them.

I'm all for gun rights, but this strikes me as a super weird thing to say.

It's like saying "Good news, in the US at least, all cars have safety features. Seat belts, especially, save lives. So, there's that stopping oncoming traffic from harming you and them if you drive at full speed going the wrong direction on the interstate."
I agree.

> But, the ones they do have are accidents a human driver would almost certainly have avoided.

I suspect most human-driver accidents are also accidents that (other) human drivers almost certainly would have avoided.

That's scant consolation for all the people dying in traffic accidents each day, of course.

I love what MIDI has given us, but MIDI devices are not designed for adversarial environments. I absolutely would want this to be mandatory opt-in (per session every single time) at the very least.
I wonder about that, considering that he's selling at new lows, and Twitter is reportedly not paying it's rent and other real-time debts?
A Beginner’s Guide to TCPDirect
I have never been in a hand with a $100k+ pot, but in higher-stakes tournament and cash play ($1000's per hand) you will still see the dumbest bluffs and calls. There are a lot of rich people playing poker, and with alcohol involved people care even less. It drives the grinders crazy but that's the flip side of trying to take money from tourists. It's quite possible the player accused of cheating (who apparently didn't even buy in with her own money) just made a stupid call.
The planets are very close to their star, too: 0.046 and 0.074 au. The star is roughly 1.4 solar masses and yet much dimmer than the Sun. It is a very different solar system than ours.
You can't censor your way out of this problem regardless. People will still post Elon's flights details elsewhere.

Censorship is almost always counter-productive and every time it fails it just escalates. Eventually we'll be doing night raids on people's homes over tweets like the UK.

The costs are far too high for very little benefit. Just look at the moral and cultural compromises taken by the US/Canada/UK in Afghanistan/Iraq/globally to crush Islamic terrorism by force. It generated as many problems as it helped, at a very high cost of tons of freedoms for the western public (not just people in the middle east). Now we're on Part 2 of "compromise freedoms for the greater good". No thanks.
Wow, that sounds like an excellent idea!
How does FB marketplace avoid liability for this sort of thing? As far as I can tell, a meaningful amount of stolen stuff is traded there.
> then it's clever hominids and their superstitions waiting for an asteroid, pandemic, volcanoes...

..., global warming.

But in all seriousness, do humans alter the Earth's surface more than e.g., insects or worms do?
Has anybody quantified this?
FWIW, often statistics talking about CO2 are actually talking about CO2 equivalent, which is a way of normalising the harm levels of different pollutants. Typically this is used to compare things like farming and fossil fuels, which produce very different gases.

Unfortunately, I can't tell if the source linked actually uses this metric but isn't being clear, or if it's just focused on CO2, and I'm struggling to find another source that does use CO2 equivalent emissions as a metric.
That weird tone is a 10 year old precedent they've never disowned. Now there is the science free collection of talking points plus a click bait headline.

Perhaps it's not actually "weird."

Look, may I actually say the thing that is going carefully unsaid here without getting modded into the dirt? The suggestion, now apparently armed with distant glimmer of feasibility, that we might actually solve energy problems without adopting a greatly reduced consumption profile is extremely unwelcome to a lot of people. Energy policy and the present prescription of extreme conservation+renewables is the lever with which the entire consumption structure of our species can be altered in a desired direction, and events such as the NIF fusion breakthrough are seen as a setback to the requisite narrative. And so we're getting abundant amounts of FUD and downplaying about NIF, just as we have from day one.

I can't hold with this. NIF is fundamental Science. People are building things, solving problems, asking questions and measuring stuff no one anywhere has ever dealt with, and nobody, not Nature, not you and not me, know where this will lead. It may all be the giant boondoggle that Nature et al. have argued it is for going on 10 years now, or we might all have an iFusion Pro Model 3 in our pockets by 2040. We don't know. NIF and other attempts to find out are worth the cost and deserve a bit of room from everyone, despite whatever sacred narratives might be in jeopardy.
when someone tells you who they are, believe them.

musk isnt some gratioud thoughtful genius surrounded by incompetence. he’s a malicious, selfish, narcissist.

I will probably write a character set checker for ascii tomorrow, I agree unicode is pretty much a security vulnerability anywhere but the frontend (for non copied display).

Heck, it might even be a reasonable idea to bake anti-unicode into the system (kernel) and require elevated access to process it at all in a sandbox...
Are you sure that plane actually has a PIA ICAO number? Or that on the ground spotters were required to find the new ICAO?

I know nothing about this, but was a rabbit hole to explore.

The tail number for his plane is well known. If you put that N-number into an ICAO conversion script (https://www.avionictools.com/icao.php), you get the same Hex number that you see from adsbexchange.com. From what I can tell, the script is using an algorithm and not doing a DB lookup. So, just based on the tail number, you could figure out the canonical ICAO code for the plane.

The strange thing is that adsbexchange also lists the plane as being part of the LADD (Limiting Aircraft Data Displayed) program (but I don’t know the source of this annotation). AFAICT, LADD limits public display of information, but only for data distributed from the FAA. Crowd sourced data isn’t limited (nor could it be).

In order to address this privacy shortcoming, the PIA program exists. This would change the ICAO for the plane to be disconnected from the tail number. But from the tracking website, it seems like the ICAO number for his plane hasn’t been changed/anonymized(?!?). So either, they haven’t actually gotten the new ICAO number installed (after 10-ish months), or the plane isn’t eligible to be part of the program. PIA requires the plane to only fly domestically and have the right kind of transmitter. If the plane flys internationally, it can’t have an anonymized ICAO number.

See: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/technology/equipadsb/privacy

Otherwise, I don’t see how anyone could track this particular plane if it did have a PIA ICAO identifier and you only knew the tail number.

Like I said, I don’t know very much about this, but it is a fascinating rabbit hole. Anyone want to correct where I went wrong?
The PIA program, from my understanding, removes the ICAO number from that page. It's possibly in a state that he's not registered with PIA at the moment.
