“Such” a good deal is 2-30% in benchmarks (and they don’t say if that’s with cache leak protections turned on or off). In previous generations it was more like -20-20%. If one thread is having issues with L1 and L2 cache, splitting that evenly with a completely different workflow isn’t going to help.

If cache contention weren’t a problem, and it was just a matter of jumping into previously unseen instructions and data (cold cache), you’d expect to see 50-300% numbers from hyperthreading, precisely because of how long the stalls are.

Not exaclty -- it looks like it's pretty overkill for my needs

I'm looking for something more like websocketpp[0], or even just grpc without a requisite proxy. uWebsockets looks really promising, being header only, but in the fine print requires a runtime library. unfortunately, none of that ecosystem seems to use cmake, making integrating it that much more of a pain.

why use cpp for this, I'm sure some HNer will ask. the ray tracer itself is using cuda, that's why. I've also debated

- running it as a grpc server and having some proxy in a more web-accessible language

- creating python bindings and using python to make a websocket/http server for it

neither of those are out of the question, but they're not my first choices, because I'd like to keep the build & execution simple. introducing dependencies, especially other executables, is in conflict with that.

i don't need anything particularly scalable -- a threaded implementation, or one using select() would be fine, if not preferable.

I recently got a remarkable 2 tablet. If you install Koreader, it has a neat little function that generates ebooks from an rss feed!

Calibre has a similar feature I'm playing with. I'd like to just plonk it on my homelab and have it automatically scrape my rss feeds and throw the resulting ebooks at my tablet over the network. Doing it on-device is a bit slow due to the low power processor, but it's liveable
Ask HN: What are the top to 10 Git commands a new Git user should learn/master?
Besides throwing new users the Pro Git book (which I highly recommend), what are some of the most critical commands a new user should become familiar with and master? Feel free to expand over 10 if you feel that its necessary.
Rest assured I have a strong master password that would take in the order of 10^2 years to bruteforce, not taking any chances though.
Distributed chain-of-trust RSS would be nice as a start.

Above everything else though, I am missing a decentralized, globally automatically replicated, blockchain-like storage network.

Think software releases. Package X releases version 1.3.11. We should have that in an IPFS-like storage network + several hashes (SHA-2, SHA-3 and what have you) so it can never be tampered with. We should also have that version linked to the previous one -- 1.3.10 (a la Bitcoin transactions I guess).

That's only one application. Another one would be: a network of friends and families all sharing e.g. huge photo travel albums. Or, if they are into it, torrented movies or music. Game hacks even. Whatever, it should not matter.

Wanna dive deep into a rabbit hole? Here:

- http://www.nncpgo.org/ (pay no attention to bad site, the idea of the project and what has been coded so far is solid)

- https://changelog.complete.org/archives/tag/nncp

- https://www.complete.org/nncp/

That's what we're missing. Everyone constantly acts like hosting 10GB somewhere is a huge deal and I am honestly sick of it.

Were I to retire financially tomorrow I'd work tirelessly on all this until my brain can no longer do programming.

We need a new internet. Badly. We need it 10 years ago.

BONUS POINTS: ability to automatically exchange keys in a neat UI e.g. I send a special message to a friend: "Join my inner circle of shared storage" or some such, they click it and the software does authentication and checking if both parties are who they claim to be, issue new keys (so them being compromised has a minimal impact). Think ZeroTier and/or Tailscale but even more self-hosted and even more reliable.
Google had such a great opportunity and still does to support and enhance rss with Google reader.

They had Google news. They had YouTube. They had Google buzz and Google plus. And Google books. They were the king of media!

But there was no media Barron to tie and visualize the peices at Google. And that wad the biggest loss to google.

This year is the year of TV. Tiktok brought the continuous, low effort video feed to everyone. TV will take this even further with continuous video feeds. Probably twitter will start autoscrolling like a teleprompter as well . The demand for feeding tubes and catheters will also skyrocket.
Right, but it was an early step in Google’s now-classic playbook of undercutting existing paid solutions by subsidizing a free, shiny alternative, driving the paid versions out of business, then either turning their product into a surveillance nightmare or shutting it down.

For me, when I learned more than 20 years ago, reading source and manpages from Linux and other Unix like projects was a source of inspiration.

I'd recommend OpenBSD libc. https://github.com/openbsd/src/tree/master/lib/libc

String functions especially are a good way to get into the C way of thinking. Since C's approach to strings is unique.

I also learned a lot by reading manpages of libc functions or Unix utilities and thinking about how they were implemented, and writing my own little versions.
Man, that is one complex, interconnected and interesting System!

I would love to work on something like that even if it is just maintaining a legacy product. Seriously, let me know (contact in my profile).

On similar lines, I have been thinking of using Erlang/Elixir for distributed programming over the Web (even in the browser if possible) and dropping down to C/C++ and J programming languages as required on individual nodes.

What a weird argument you're making,

>2 non-parent sureties to sign bonds in lesser amounts to be agreed to

I'll be extremely generous and interpret that as two bonds worth 3.99...M each or the absolute max. value that is less than the 4M house.

Would you extend a 250M credit to someone who offers you 11.8M in illiquid assets? Also, they happen to be the parents of one of the biggest fraudsters in recent years ...

Come on, this is ridiculous.
My family knows I do work on the computer. That's it. We don't get into the details.
It will be faster actually.
It's rather a surreal artifact of Tolkien's writing process. He began his book as a direct sequel to The Hobbit, and chose Gollum's ring as the macguffin to drive the plot. As the story evolved, the ring became The Ring, at which point some of the original story didn't actually work any more.

He could simply have chosen a different macguffin, but Tolkien had a weird way of fixating on things that he'd already written. It's almost scientific: you explore the space of stories, and whatever hangs together consistently must be "true".

He solved that not by deprecating the original book, but by rewriting it, and then including a preface in The Lord of the Rings about how the original book was Bilbo's self-promoting propaganda.

This is emblematic of his work. He kept re-writing and re-writing to find something that felt "true". Which is partly why he never really settled on anything. He kept assigning characters different names, and then assigning some names to other characters until they fit. In the early Hobbit, Thorin was called "Gandalf", which makes it a hell of a thing to read. (And the wizard was named "Bladorthin". Which is almost as bad as "Bingo Bolger-Baggins", the original name of Frodo. Or "Trotter", the original Strider, a Hobbit with wooden feet...)

Given that The Hobbit was not actually intended to be connected directly to his Middle-earth works except retroactively, and that The Silmarillion was not published until after his death (with significant editing, because he kept re-writing it until it was no longer compatible with The Lord of the Rings), in a sense there is only one truly "canonical" Middle-earth book: The Lord of the Rings.

Tolkien was not only an extraordinary genius, but we have an incredible collection of his draft works to see how his genius worked. I can't think of any other author whose process is simultaneously so remarkable and so well-documented.

The only pre-RISC legacy ISA in wide use is x86, but AFAIK the legacy ISA from IBM mainframes (s390/s390x), which is still supported by mainstream enterprise Linux distributions, is also a pre-RISC one.

We now know that as a practical matter, American companies do cooperate with the US government in spying, influence operations, etc., and that the US government has a massive surveillance apparatus that is highly opaque and beyond the control of the American public.

That's why the sudden concern about TikTok theoretically being a problem comes across as an excuse for going after yet another Chinese company, as a way to pressure China and hamper its development.
The suggested way to learn C in 2023 is the same as the suggested way to learn all languages for the past decade or so.

Do you like videos? Find videos on YouTube and watch them.

Do you like books? Go on Amazon and search for "C programming".

Do you like reading code? Go on GitHub and start reading the source for any project.

Or just find any online resource and use that.

The most important thing is to write code to do something you're interested in. If you're interested in solving puzzles, solve some puzzles. If you want to write a game, write a game.

Above all, you shouldn't waste time concerning yourself initially with what the "right" thing to do is. Do NOT let the perfect be the enemy of the good. It's OK to ignore the advice of anyone who tells you you need to be concerned with how to set up your project the right way, or tells you to avoid certain "dangerous" functions in the standard library. Just avoid all dogma.

Since you're learning, thinking about these things now is a huge waste of time. It's much better to write code that actually does things. If you thoroughly engage with this process, you will figure this stuff out on your own naturally. Or you won't, and then someone will correct you later, at which point you will be in a better position to appreciate their advice.

Biggest time-waster: reading this thread. These threads are mainly a venue for people with minimal experience to regurgitate things they have read elsewhere.

Agreed, I'd like to see SBF prosecuted as much as anyone else, but I want it to be a legal trial. His statements should be accepted in the most generous possible light, and the case against him should be ironclad enough to hold.

It's interesting how it's now fashionable to bash on Uber and Lyft.

Seems everyone conveniently forgot about the medallion system Uber and Lyft disrupted. Pre-Uber/Lyft, either the driver rented the car to a middleman who rented the medallion from a rich owner, or said owner was selling and financing (most banks won't touch these medallions!) a medallion at a ridiculous interest rate to a driver that planned to use it as his retirement savings (an extremely volatile asset and not very liquid). Sure back then the dispatch only took a 15-20% cut, but medallion payments took at least a 50% cut on every ride. That money didn't get re-invested or re-distributed as incentives to drivers, no. It went straight to the pockets of the local rent-seeker.

The more I spoke to cab drivers the more it seemed their industry was a pyramid scheme aimed at helping established rent-seeker take advantage of often poor new immigrants. Uber/Lyft brought a breeze of fresh air: Someone could simply buy a car, calculate the depreciation and it's value on the market (since unlike medallions cars are relatively liquid assets!) do rideshare and calculate their profits or loss. They can get out of the game at anytime, and they know exactly how much they are going to get for the car they have should they sell it.

And I'm not even touching the usual pain points and often discriminatory practices of medallion drivers (refusing card payments, refusing rides to non-white passengers and to non-white neighborhoods...).

Developers underestimate how much work it takes to build things. For large stuff like IDEs, developers buy them and pay good money.

But yeah many developers look at prices badly. Will it save you more time/effort than the price? That's the threshold. Not some abstract idea of "worth the money."

Sure, but at some point it starts to sound abusive, like a narcissistic parent telling their child that they and not the little child owns their accomplishments, because without them the child would not have existed.

The state, at least in the US, is supposed to work for you, the people. The burden of proof is on the state if it wants to tax more and expand itself. It needs to justify every penny of the taxpayer's money it spends. It simply cannot take the position that everyone's output is by default a debt owed to it, and by its grace alone are the people allowed to keep some of it. That's the talk of the divine right of kings.

I often wonder what Minsky would think about the current generation of AI. My guess is that he'd be critical, because while their accomplishments are pretty impressive on the surface, they do very little to explain the mechanics of how humans perform complex problem solving, or really any kind of psychological model at all, and that is what he was really interested in. This has been a methodological problem with neural net approaches for many generations now.

Minsky was as much a psychologist as a mathematician/engineer – Society of Mind owed a lot to Freud. That style of thinking seems to have dropped by the wayside, maybe for good reasons, but it's also kind of a shame. I'm not sure what insights you get into the human mind from building LLMs, powerful though they may be.

For more of Minsky's thoughts on human intelligence, here's a recent book that collected some of his writings on education: https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/4519/Inventive-MindsMarvin... (disclaimer: I wrote the introduction).
Housing and agriculture are both land use issues.

The assumption you are making is that AI will easily solve one off hand (the most crucial one) but not the other. I don't see any logical basis for this assumption.
If you believe he's guilty beyond a shadow of doubt, it shouldn't disturb you that he's on house arrest instead of in prison. His trial will last a year or two, his sentence probably be 10 to life (probably closer to the "life").

High level executives at ByteDance are members of the CCP and closely work with the CCP. Journalists are reporting on ByteDance because of allegations that are implied in this quote from the article:

“TikTok has never been used to ‘target’ any members of the U.S. government, activists, public figures or journalists,”

The ongoing controversy with TikTok has always been about the concern of the government of China using TikTok data and manipulation of its content in clandestine ways. It all goes back to CCP.

>I've always noticed that Audible has been a bit of a scam

You and I have had very different experiences. Someone has been dying to juice the subscriber stats and every year or two, Audible throws me a sweetheart deal too good to refuse.

This year, they offered me three free months to rejoin. Took my three books and canceled, not paying anything. A month or two later, they offered me a $20 credit + three months at a reduced rate of $5(? Maybe it was $10). Fully intend to cancel subscription when that completes end of January. Netting me ~7 books for maybe a one month of out of pocket subscription.
