100x transistor count is a big enough difference that you would want some sort of ALU and branching/FSM/loop unit arranged in an array with a few fpga elements on inputs and outputs.

It sounds to me that the real problem is still that the ideal programming model hasn't been created yet.

What would it look like? Compile a C function into an FPGA pipeline? A dataflow language where you explicitly define processes and their implementation?

I mean imagine if you could take a mathematical formula, how would it translate into a series of additions, subtractions and multiplications? You could write it down in Fortran and then you would have a well defined and ordered tree of operations. Do we just translate that tree into hardware? Like, you have 100 instructions with no control flow and you just translate it into 100 ALUs? Does it make sense to reuse the ALUs and therefore have 100 instructions map to less than 100 ALUs?

If we assume the above model, then there are specific requirements for the hardware.

What if need more than one algorithm? Can I switch the implementation fast enough? Can the hardware have multiple programmed algorithms for the same ALUs?

Programmable ALUs sound awfully close to what a CPU does but in theory you would just have a register file with say 16 different ALU configurations and the data you are sending through the ALUs is prefixed with a 4 bit opcode that tells the ALU which configuration to use. We are getting further and further away from what an FPGA does and closer to how CPUs work but we still have the concept of programming the hardware for specific algorithms.

These are just random thoughts but they reveal that the idea of a pure FPGA is clearly not what the accelerator market needs.
How can someone be "personally responsible" if there are not accurate food labeling laws?

I'm 99% sure they meant no bandwidth restrictions per transmission within a band. You'd still have the rules about not causing interference etc.

Aside from that, Musk wants you to vote for people who are strong supporters of the oil and gas industry. He did when he voted for Mayra Flores: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1536973965394157569

Mayra Flores says the "oil and gas industry is critical to the success of our State and Nation" and that she "will always work to help the oil and gas industry and stand firm against radical policies that would undermine it": https://www.mayrafloresforcongress.com/issues/
Pretty sure the basics of economics are your issue, not the people you pejoratively call NIMBY
Being more charitable, I am not shocked by the following independent scenarios:

1. The law on self-driving was sponsored by a legislator on the Transportation committee

2. The Transportation Committee chair is heavily lobbied by - and received donations from - the oil and gas industry. The pil and gas industry is a major user of, and supplier to transportation as a whole.

Edit: I'm failing to corroborate oil and gas PAC spend on her - seems to be FUD. Her total clear-money campaign expenditure to date is under $500k, so the claim of a multi-million dollar PAC with no evidence seems suspect.

>In July 2022, a hacker forum post offered to sell the personal information of over 5.4 million Twitter users for $30,000. The data included publicly available information like Twitter IDs, names, login names, locations, and verified status, as well as private information like email addresses and phone numbers.

>The hack occurred in December 2021 when a vulnerability in the Twitter API was exposed through the HackerOne bug bounty program. This vulnerability allowed anyone to enter a phone number or email address into the API and link it to a Twitter ID.

It was scraping and a bypass of the privacy setting that lets you prevent people finding you by your email or phone number.

I don't own a car, save around $5-10k per year, and don't have a disability...

Originally, growing up in St Louis, I avoided driving because I saw lots of friends wasting their time in shit jobs to pay for their shit cars; cars were supposed to provide freedom, but were really a gateway to the shackles of work. I suppose that's another reason beyond 'it's inconvenient,' though.
This is something that I'm passionate about. I'm about to launch https://feetr.io with the goal of trying to help people become financially independent through investing.

We measure momentum and use that to identify stocks with a good chance of massive price movement. It's currently free over at Twitter but will cost $8.99 per month.

Currently targeting people who know how to invest but long term goals are, of course, giving alerts to buying/selling opportunities and eventually investing on peoples behalf.

Historically the average stock has increased by 7.64% per day but given improvements to the algorithm we've managed 18.88% per stock this month. Though that does drop to 12.2% if you remove the 519% that COSM achieved.

All historical stocks are shown on homepage, with leaderboard at https://feetr.io/leaderboard (cuts the noise and gets to the exciting stocks)
Thanks for the list. First time I coded a Trie I thought it was super cool. Topological sort is such a useful one as well.
Of course allowing more housing impacts people. And people on their iPhones impact me -- when they're behind the wheel, when they're talking loudly in a restaurant, when I can't get their attention in a shop. The towers impact me (they're ugly and ubiquitous and use valuable spectrum). And lawnmowers? Those impact me, too! They're loud and stir up dust. I'm struggling to think of anything objectionable about sofas, but that just means 2/3 of my totally-arbitrary examples have significant impacts on others. And, because those examples were totally arbitrary, we could easily substitute three far more objectionable products.

You live in a society. Of course the things other people do impact you. That's a low bar, easily met, and not interesting enough to justify a ban on new housing. The impacts have to be overwhelmingly harmful to justify prohibition. Apartment buildings clearly do not meet that standard. You might not like apartments, but I love them, and banal preferences shouldn't drive policy in a free society.

The idea of FSD is, obviously from the effect of hyping it, enormously attractive. It can't happen now. But in the 1990s, speech recognition that would enable me to dictate this comment in a relatively noisy space was science fiction. Now that we have orders of magnitude more computing power, and much better microphones and associated noise rejection technology, you can blithely dictate messages with reliability that was previously a dream.

Thing is to go from being unable to distinguish pencil from cancel to today's almost magical speech recognition, took 25 years. That might be the same interval it takes to go from mowing down motorcyclists to delivering all the safety and productivity potential of level 5 autonomy.
Everything in second life is sent to the client (which usually tries to cache). Eg you can even build new geometries ingame.

Viewers are "game clients" yes. The viewer is intended to mostly be a dumb receiver. The server does most lifting.

Firestorm is a fork of the official viewer. It forked about the time I played SL but seems to have grown into it's own these days.

The entire Shuttle program was worth it just for Hubble, in my opinion. It's hard to understate the effects on cosmology that piece of kit has had. Truly a Plato's Cave moment.

If it were up to me, I'd launch seven Hubble replacements named after each of the astronauts lost in Columbia.
Working for a company that is both owned by Amazon and use docker hub for quite a while for a lot of Base images for build the number of times that we had build failures or minor outages due to docker hub being down or us being rate limited is well into four digits. Luckily these were generally low impact on a developer could emergency patch in some of these situations so it never really got us. But if someone who's been pushing for us to just use the AWS alternative since we're very heavily on AWS because we're owned by Amazon so it just makes sense, it's always been a little bit frustrating that people just pull directly from the internet as opposed to the AWS data center that they're literally running in. So I'm very happy about these base images on my computer platform at a very very low cost (network) with high availability for me.

As the AWS public docs say it's always better to pull from the data center that you're sitting in. Data center math is always more forgiving if you pull from the data center you're in as opposed to playing from another Data center because the chance that both data centers are having problems is higher than the chance that any one is having problems.
I think if we were going to see this, we'd already be seeing it with map apps. Central planning only relies on being able to give directions, not on it being a computer following them.

I wonder if that was Apple's CSAM stuff.

Funnily enough, after transferring everything to the new phone, the first thing I did was go through all my photo's and start deleting a lot of photos. I didn't realize it, but any time a photo is texted to you it saves it (makes sense, I just never thought about it), so I ended up deleting random photos going back years.

The charge port had gotten so finicky I couldn't get it to charge half the time and it was really a matter of economics. Spend $200-300 (or more) asking someone to fix it or spend a bit more and get a new one, so I decided to spend a bit more and get guaranteed good hardware.

I just really lament the form factor change.
The server components which are most of the logic are not open source. There has been a long running effort to have a compatible open source server.
I think (and there are studies to back this too) that the more you eschew an allergen the more violent your reaction against it would be. I am from a third-world country and I know no-one from my country that has allergies related to foods like peanuts, sesame or gluten. The only other explanations for this would be:
a) These allergies occur so rarely that I haven't heard from the minority of the people.
b) Or, the people who had this allergies have already died without diagnosis.
c) Or, people have these allergy but choose to hide them for fear of social shame.
d) Or, people don't get medical checkup that allows the discovery of these allergies.

But I think the case that people being accustomed to the allergens due to forceful conditions is the best explanation for this.
Well IIRC, the inflation Numbers exclude Gas Prices because if included, the rate would be much higher.

But the world runs on fuel, so if fuel prices rise, prices rise in all other items. Food has to get to the cities from the farm somehow.
I don't really disagree but my counter argument is that I think breaking the law should be meaningful and enforcement should not be random and perhaps politically motivated. Weed in particular has been used to stop and search cars with minority populations due to the police officer claiming to smell it. Also the US has a culture of having too many laws that are selectively enforced (IMHO but I think this is widely held belief).
Isn't this against HN guidelines?
Not that I'm against having more spectrum, but do we really NEED more spectrum?

There's no way ham radio can have enough bandwidth to be the Internet, after all. And there's plenty of space for communications and experimentation as is, with lots of different bands with different characteristics.

A bit off-topic, but something unique to India is reverse-racism, if I can call it that.

On top of this, a future where every car on the road is self driving also lends itself to a future where every car is in constant communication with the cars around it. A car 10 spaces ahead is slowing down? Your car already knows and is prepared to handle it with grace rather than slamming on brakes. Cars behaving in a predictable and communicable manner, as much as possible, alleviates traffic by a large factor.

This is obviously largely ruined by one single human driver acting unpredictably, so it's a very "all or nothing" resolution.
The problem is that there is a (sadly) large group of people who believe that its the governments job to right every wrong that there ever was, fix any and every inequality that exists, and smooth out any randomness that exists.

Similar sentiments, from the 1880s:

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press. I am paid for keeping honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. If I should allow honest opinions to be printed in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation, like Othello's, would be gone. The business of a New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the foot of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. We are the tools or vassals of the rich men behind the scenes. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

Leasing a car is the most expensive way to own a car (short of buying a new one every 3 years). Of course if you're paying $200/mo. for parking you can probably afford it. In much of the country parking is indirectly subsidized with zoning laws.

This is all moot because, if driving places gets cheaper, traffic will get worse, which was the original point.
You are... starting to think that?

Not really grokking your comment, a lot of inconsistency. You point to deeper issues in American society, and you are very much fine with playing endless whack-a-mole with its symptoms manifesting left and right instead of dealing with issue like grown ups do - attack the underlying problem, instead of seeing endless spiral of growing issues that it brings.
