An unaddressed point: These things are usually framed as a change - communications are "going dark", law-enforcement is powerless, radical privacy-first ideology, etc...

But it's not a change - conversations were private-by-default back when they mostly happened offline (yes, a govt. agent could have been eavesdropping, just as they can still plant a bug or an infiltrator today), and encryption is just restoring what we used to have before conversations moved online and became vulnerable to cheap, bulk, covert surveillance.

Many of the physical books I want to read are too large to hold comfortably, and have typefaces too small for me to read easily. Neither of these are problems I have with ebooks.
I will reach out to CSE and CCTS when they open as well.
AMD has said that 3nm will come with Zen 5c. The Zen 5 is set to launch in 2024 with the Zen 5c happening after that so most likely in 2025.

Zen 4 just launched at 5nm after Apple had been using 5nm for 2 years. It looks like Apple will be the only 3nm customer in 2023. Apple is not only selling a lot of phones, but they also need a follow-up to the M1/M2 processors (and the M2 is a very marginal improvement). I don't want to sound like I'm knocking the M1 because it's truly amazing to have an M1 laptop, but Apple is shipping a 2-year-old processor in all its laptops. While the Mac might not use as many chips as their phone biz, the chips are larger which means using up more of TSMC's capacity.

Again, it took AMD 2 years to get to 5nm after Apple launched their 5nm chips. AMD might get to 3nm faster than they got to 5nm, but I wouldn't count on it. Qualcomm is sticking with 4nm for their 2023 Snapdragons. Samsung's transistor density for their "3nm" 2GAE is basically equivalent to TSMC's 4nm (while TSMC's 3nm is nearly 50% higher).

If the question is "should I wait for something that's just around the corner," I'd have to say no. AMD does have a Zen 4c on its roadmap at 4nm, but 4nm can be a bit misleading since we're talking about TSMC improving density by around 6% (and Samsung's 4nm trailing TSMC's 5nm). So I wouldn't wait for "4nm" either.

There's always uncertainty around when new stuff will happen, but it'll likely be more than 2 years before AMD moves to 3nm. Remember: we aren't even at the point where anyone has launched a 3nm part that you can buy. Let's say that Apple introduces something in April for their Macs and then launches new iPhones in the fall at 3nm. That's going to be using up a lot of TSMC's capacity through 2023 and into 2024. Qualcomm will want their 2024 chips to be 3nm in Spring 2024. So maybe late 2024 or 2025 some 3nm capacity starts being available for AMD and they can launch 3nm Zen 5c then.

Officially, this is what we have from AMD:

Zen 4 - 5nm (2022) editorial note: this ended up being September 27, 2022

Zen 4 V-Cache 5nm (2023)

Zen 4C - 4nm (2023)

Zen 5 - 4nm (2024)

Zen 5 V-Cache - 4nm (2024+)

Zen 5C - 3nm - (2024+)

Could we see Zen 5c in 2024? Maybe, but it seems like a stretch. TSMC's 3nm seems a tiny bit behind schedule and given that Zen 5c is targeting "2024+", it just doesn't seem likely.

So, there won't be an update to 3nm for Zen 4 and even Zen 5 won't launch at 3nm.
Not at all. You’re all good fella.

> posix sh but not bash?

Many non-Linuxes, and some Linuxes too.

> why can't you just sudo apt install bash

Linux is not the whole world. Debian is not the whole Linux. Interactive shells on servers are not guaranteed to be available. Control over the installation image is not guaranteed, or always desirable.

> life is too short to write strictly posix sh

Alas. Life is too short for writing or responding to uninformed rants. Yet here we both are.

POSIX shell scripting has its place. It's not as difficult or complicated as you imagine. The portability tradeoff is valuable or essential in many real-world cases.
This does ignore the damage done to the free market though. Every job that a prison inmate takes up, is a job that could be taken by a non-criminal and which would pay for at least federal minimum wage.

I'd call the difference of prison wage and the minimum wage lost money.
It does, which surprised me when the author said they preferred JS over Python given the reasons they stated.

There are a lot of reasons to like or not like Python that will become evident after using it in a significant fashion. I was hoping for some of that insight, both to commiserate and celebrate the horrors and joys that I've experienced using the language and its ecosystem for some time. This article was not that.
I remember attending a meetup, once, where it was supposed to be a tutorial on GraphQL. I was barely familiar with GraphQL, when I went in, and left, almost exactly the same.

The tutorial was actually all about a couple of JS libraries that you could use as GraphQL abstractions. I am a Swift programmer, and was a lot more interested in the actual GraphQL interface, which was barely mentioned.

Lot of that stuff, going around...

I generally agree with you; governments have c̶h̶i̶p̶p̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶w̶a̶y̶ taken a sledge hammer to privacy with The Patriot Act, NSA's mass surveillance program, PRISM, and the UK's Investigatory Powers Act etc. It is hard to quantify the chilling effects of losing privacy, similar to being impossible to prove a negative as there is no conclusive way to prove that something does not exist or did not happen.

Engineering bat boxes for nice thermal properties is apparently a research topic, eg[1]. Given the context of "freezing ... but its still Houston", I was intrigued by the concepts[2] of having adjacent boxes with diverse thermals, and of single boxes containing diverse microclimates.

Are you sure it's registering as correct? If you hit the wrong keys it should highlight them with red background and show "Typos" in the top right corner.
The argument that privacy is terrible because it can facilitate crime also neglects to consider that many other ways exist to encourage and obstruct crime and that nearly everything facilitates crime to a degree. For example, car ownership enables hit-and-runs, you can't have burglaries without homes, and gun ownership... is a topic for another thread, but you get the point.
Awesome! Great to know

Of course, the article goes on to say that TSMC is reducing N3 capacity with Apple being the only customer in 2023.

I think it's just hard to get customers who want to pay what Apple is willing to pay.
As a brazillian, as I assume you also are, can't help but disagree. The ratio of good to bad is at most 9-1 in my experience, and I say this with no exaggeration. The only time I can remember people really talking shit about his personal was in the ~2013 protests when he called for protesters to watch the cup(?) or something instead of protest, his illegitimate daughter is mostly a footnote when talking about his personal life for better or for worse, the man's affair with xuxa is far more of a topic of discussion.
Or it might get it wrong, but not obviously so. Who's job is it to debug/prove the ChatGPT-authored formulas that business people will certainly start using (if they haven't already). I have enough trouble debugging code I write myself. Debugging other people's code is much harder.

When a company makes a multi-million dollar error because an analyst used ChatGPT formulas in Excel, I expect we'll get the answer.

Some dictionary definitions of violence from Merriam Webster:

2: injury by or as if by distortion, infringement, or profanation : OUTRAGE

3a: intense, turbulent, or furious and often destructive action or force

the violence of the storm

b: vehement feeling or expression : FERVOR

also: an instance of such action or feeling

c: a clashing or jarring quality : DISCORDANCE

Maybe the choice of language is strong but I don't think the word is being used incorrectly.
The obvious response is that you stole the author's income, by obtaining a copy of their work without compensating them for it.

So the obvious retort is that you may not have bothered to purchase the author's work, forgoing your opportunity to read it, thus the author did not lose their sale.

The conversation will then turn to defending the existence of copyright as an incentivization to produce valuable works worth reading, and then to how the publishing industry eats those incentives anyway.

In the end, no one will exit the conversation having gained any insight.
> Hardly the point. You should be allowed to take risks.

Sure, but society has largely decided that you shouldn't be allowed to take risks with other people's lives. I'm perfectly happy for you to squirt milk into your mouth straight out of the udder for as long as you like. I'm not happy to allow charlatans to lie about how much healthier and safer it is than pasteurised milk while selling it to people who don't know any better.

> Also did he really kill the person with milk? This makes it sound intentional, I highly doubt it.

I might agree with you if the man had changed anything after finding out that his milk had lead to multiple hospitalisations and a death. Unfortunately I can't as that wasn't the case:

> "They use it as a medicine," Miller said in a 2021 interview. "It’s very healing to the body because it’s raw."

Given the context I find this statement repugnant. Profiting from the sale of food while refusing to follow food safety regulations and actively hampering their enforcement is exactly the kind of sociopathic behaviour that institutions of correction should be dealing with.

>IMO I don't think it's mentally healthy to not at least 'enjoy' your work and have decent professional relationships with your coworkers.

You can have "decent professional relationships" with coworkers while remote. Virtual beer (I prefer scotch) drinking sessions work great, for example. And also opens your circle to ppl continents away.

>Work is a significant part of your life and to be socially disconnected and emotionally discordant about what your doing is not good.

Physical proximity is not necessary for social connection. Especially when it seems every app has webconference (slack too).

Also, frequency of needed connection differs if you're an introvert vs extrovert. Larger society typically views the latter as 'normal' & the former as 'ill-adjusted', but I wouldn't expect that tendency on HN(?)
There is no chargeback
You know, I hadn't thought about it that way before. Perhaps the dream of a general purpose language was always incoherent. Perhaps the mess you get when perl tries to offer options to do everything well, and the suffocation you get when python tries to do everything the same way, are inevitable. Maybe using one language for small and large projects was never going to end well -- maybe either the language or the programmers were always going to do it wrong.

I suppose I have been assuming that the best policy is to do as the Romans for a long time now. Windows apps are C++ (or is it C# now?) because that's how things are over there. Android is Java, or Scala if you must -- at any rate, you hardly get to pick. Iphone requires learning Objective C. Jquery for frontend, or whatever the cool kids are doing; PHP on the back is good enough for most of the web, and it's good enough for you. And as you say, in ML, Python is not optional.

And as I think about it, I've been using specialized languages in specialized contexts for a long time. It seems the knowing the underlying language is only ever part of the problem -- you have to learn the specialized language for what you're doing, whether it's GL for graphics or your web framework's way of doing things, or MFC or .NET, or . . .

Yeah. Small tools for specific purposes, and follow the local ecosystem. Things have been going that way, and it's probably a good answer.

When in Rome, then. I like that answer. Thanks.
I see this in tech all the time. It is indeed very hard to measure the return on investment for tooling and infrastructure in tech! Any infra work, whether it's splitting up your monolith into components, improved developer tooling, or fixing flaky builds has a vague and hand-wavy return on investment and has to compete with "Well customer FooBar will sign a $10M contract in Q2 if we build feature BashBaz instead," and now good luck as an engineer explaining how and when exactly your investment in developer tooling is going to make the company $10M in Q2.

I agree that it's hard to quantify those kinds of things, but I might quibble over the degree of difficulty. At the very least, some techniques for dealing with these kinds of "hard to quantify" scenarios are known, published, and have been analyzed to varying degrees. For a company the size of SouthWest, with the amount of money that's at stake, I find it surprising that they wouldn't use such methods (or maybe they do and just still managed to screw the pooch, I don't know).

What means am I talking about? Well, you could start with by the book Scenario Planning[1], and then have domain experts assign costs to different scenarios and use calibrated probability estimation[2] to assign probabilities to those scenarios. And then you could use Monte Carlo simulation[3] to get an idea of the likely distribution of outcomes. From there you can calculate a range of likely costs (or returns, depending on which way you frame the problem) for dealing with, or not dealing with, specific scenarios.

This is a very high level and hand-wavy description, btw, of the methodology Douglas Hubbard[4] lays out in his book How to Measure Anything[5].

For me it's not about a business, it's about a community. The fee is just a barrier to entry to filter participants.

I believe even a nominal amount would keep most people out, and that's by design. Also you don't need huge numbers to build a personally interesting community. Even a few dozen dedicated people can be plenty.

There's the adage that the standard library is where modules go to die, which seems to ring true in Python's case.

Having a big standard library can be great, especially for things and designs that have been settled years ago, but inclusion into the standard library means iterating upon those modules will receive pushback from maintainers looking out for consumers of the standard library who need it to remain stable for potentially decades.

yes! In my state, there are dozens of small former industrial towns, often in beautiful natural settings, and/or on excellent transport arteries.

They have space convertible to offices aplenty, revitalizable downtowns, cheap housing. I myself just made the move from the bustling capital city to a wonderful city of 17,000. I bought a large Victorian house for half of what my tiny city house was worth. I can walk to the library, movie theatre, restaurants, cafes. Nature is all around. There is an Amtrak Station.

Look, learn to read FFS. This is a subthread where parent claims Musk is anti-LGBT based on the flag in the picture. Which has to be `(anyone who disapproves flag -> anti-LGBT) and (Musk is anyone) -> Musk is anti-LGBT`. And I am proving this sentence false from `(any LGBT is pro-LGBT) and (there's at least one L who is LGBT and who disaprroves the flag)` which contradicts the above statement rendering the argument invalid, specifically `anyone who disapproves flag -> anti-LGBT` part. Therefore the picture does not show Musk is anti-LGBT, at least not via the flag reasoning.
Quite the opposite: many Japanese work uniforms mandate gloves all year round in roles where we usually wouldn't use them, eg. taxi drivers.

Great point. And I'll bet $100 that people wouldn't mind the office if it was literally across the street.

This is true but also true for AA and several other airlines, for reservations and more but not crew scheduling. Sabre is old, huge, and complicated, but is not at fault here.

They run on a specialized version of Sabre that doesn't work the same as the other airlines on Sabre (AA, etc.) which is one reason you don't get SWA flights in Orbitz, etc.
Using the node too soon can be a bad idea too, becasue it's going to be overpriced and that will be passed to the end user. I think AMD's pace of using the node is reasonable. It's Apple who is trying to jump the gun and use it sooner than normal making it cost way more than it could otherwise.

TSMC charges way more for the newest node and then prices go down over time.
Most people are just learning that their online conversations are not as private as they believed, but the real-life consequences for that lapse is almost zero which is why there is not more demand for secure solutions. What does affect you, however, is the harvesting of your contact info as spam, robocalls, identity theft, and a multitude of scams all begin with the gathering of those details. E2EE is gaining ground with the public and my hope is for all channels between individuals online to eventually be protected.

> What are the odds that the rest of the world and entire history of humankind were mistaken the whole time, until some behaviorists came along and figured it all out in the last century?

There are many cases where all of humanity has been doing something that we only recently decided was wrong. For instance, slavery.

Certainly the odds aren't good that this is true of everything humans do, but the odds that some of the things we do fall into this category is 100%.

Edit: also, don't be so judgmental. Behaviours are environmental adaptions. In the Western world, mothers typically work 9-5 like men, so of course in cultures where women don't have this constraint they'd be shocked at our behaviours. Humans are adaptable however, and constantly coddling your fearful infant made sense when there were dangers everywhere. In our society's we're pretty safe in historical terms, so it could just be that babies cry because they're instinctively afraid until they learn they're safe when nothing happens to them after a few nights, and then it stops. This actually seems to happen in a lot of cry-it-out cases.

Pretty cool, but there's a lot of lag when typing fast. I keep typing from memory, but I don't see typos in real time. Got up to 150 WPM and the text didn't scroll fast enough to see what to type next. I'm guessing the lag comes from the networking part, is there any chance you could provide a single-player version, or fix the lag on the multiplayer one?
Just spent a month in Rio and a friend brought this up when we were discussing Pele’s legacy (right when he was rumored to be in hospice).

I also learned that a lot of Brazilians (at least in Rio) are bigger fans of their local/favorite club team than the national team so many who aren’t Santos fans don’t consider him the greatest (even though they obviously loved him).

Legal issues aren't really the question. The Covington incident is an example of brazen lying by the media. They had the full video and chose to wildly misrepresent it. That they did so because they were reporting what someone else said is completely irrelevant. They knowingly lied and did so knowing they would be caught.

There is a reason the majority of the public distrusts the mainstream media. Mainstream media outlets are inveterate liars.
