> which might be attributable to the AI-powered summarisation the tweet author boasts about

Just one of the pitfalls of relying on AI and not double-checking the information. I worry for the future. How much might the past be rewritten in the future as a result?
The context behind this endorsement is that senior engineers at Google are unhappy with the decisions taken by the C++ committee. The big one is described in this document - What is ABI, and What Should WG21 Do About It? (https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2020/p20...).

The document ends with “I call on WG21 to make a conscious and explicit choice here, with the clear awareness that status quo is an endorsement of indefinite ABI stability. If we wish to be the systems language known for performance, we have to act now. If not, we have to be aware that we are giving up on some important user bases.”

The committee chose an endorsement of indefinite ABI stability. A defensible technical choice, certainly. However, not one that works for Google.

That explains why they’re going ahead with the development of Carbon, as well as their endorsement of Rust. They don’t think the future of C++ development at Google is bright.

This has other effects too. Someone in this thread pointed out clang is lagging behind in implementing C++20 compared to MSVC and GCC. This might be because Google is committing fewer resources to the maintenance and improvement of clang.

* raw pork: Mett is pretty popular in Germany and not a fine dining thing (at all). It is IMO best with extra onion.

* raw beef: Filet américain is basically a spicy beef tartare, available in most supermarkets in Belgium and the Netherlands.

I can recommend both of these to carnivores :)
Securities fraud and tax fraud. I think it only applies to those two limited areas.
I'd imagine most people going for the Mac Studio arent touching the balked Apple Display. It's been riddled with problems and at that price point you can get far better displays now. The panel they're using dates back to 2017 so it's not exactly like you're getting the latest and greatest in screen technology.
while i agree that "taking away the all wealth of rich people and divide it among all people" is simply unrealistic, wrong and unpractical, i do believe we could ask the wealthier more "effort" than the actual one, without having to recreate a "ussr 2.0" or worst go again for that awful original "experience".
I don't know about that. Language changes over time, and very old books can be very hard to read. To keep text readable I think the text needs to be rewritten every couple of hundreds of years using modern words.
Very interesting share, thanks.

When I transitioned to eating more fish, because I wanted to be "healthier" I started eating more salmon because that's the fish available in German supermarkets, but it's not a taste I ever particularly liked.

What's more interesting to observe is that my daughter also doesn't really like it. When you have a 1 year old eating all sorts of fresh fish, but pushing away the salmon, you can't help but wonder, if there is something about food quality that small children taste that we cannot.
No one has grown tomatoes in space, as far as I have been able to find.

They managed a pepper.
Honestly, really disappointing, especially since the author forces you to watch the video to see the final image - which looks nothing like the shoulder-spiked, triple-forehead-eye'd villain of the game. Spoiler, the generated image is just a threatening looking green dude with two different coloured eyes.

It's a decent writeup on the process of trying to generate specific images using text prompts, I guess, with the conclusion that it's really hard, and in some cases basically impossible (hence the lack of the three forehead eyes).
For others I Googled PMF. It means Probability Mass Function.
From Wikipedia:
“Probability mass function is the probability distribution of a discrete random variable, and provides the possible values and their associated probabilities.”

I suspect that you can’t by a ?YCombinator? company using a Probability Mass Function.
I very much doubt that existing large C++ codebases - which are plenty - are going to fully or largely migrate to Rust (or whatever) within the next two decades. Given that C++ originates in mid-80s, that would make it as old as COBOL was in 2000.
I have stick with ubuntu for around 10 years on my personal compuster, well, always Thinkpad, and I'm glad to use it.
Both of your examples are from the US, and the actual body of the NYT article doesn't mention salmon sushi at all despite mentioning a half dozen or so other fish (as well as salmon roe), which would be unthinkable today. And the latter example is quite late. The headline claim would be stronger if it had "typically" or "often" in it, but the underlying market data seems sound:

> Norway went from selling 2 metric tons of salmon to Japan in 1980 to 28,000 metric tons by 1995.
Shaming? As opposed to dialog or encouragement?

I find that shaming harms relationship and often the other person. If the other person is unharmed, they'll likely be defensive. Either way, the attempt comes at significant cost.
The funny thing was that the author apparently used multiple sources, and has different import figures from the article as a result. But they didn't spot the order-of-magnitude error in the campaign cost.

A big part of this is collages have plenty of candidates with good grades and test scores it’s hard to differentiate at the high end. Writing a successful novel is a bigger boost than sports, but sports are easier.
While I agree the young people who work on the languages and frameworks are increasingly working with other languages. The rust crowd is much younger than the people who are publicly working on popular C++ frameworks.

In 10 years, there won't be many people left working on C++ as a language and on the tooling.
I wrote a blog post once, https://www.fbrs.io/ramda/, where I compared a functional solution and a vanilla solution. I tried to cover both performance and some vague notion of readability.

In the end the vanilla solution won in both areas. And I say that as an FP and Haskell fan boy.
Was thinking the same: Mostly with huge imports of external resources, whatever they will be but surely not accessible in space.
I think this actually undersells the economic disparity between human and robotic exploration, particularly when extrapolated out to the next couple of decades. Yes, robots today are cheaper, more resilient, and more capable than us, but they are about to become vastly more so on the timeline of a manned Mars mission. AI is happening right now. Roboticists have not been ignoring the wild successes of large language and vision models. The already thin arguments for human presence will sound even weaker in a decade or two when the robots already there are vastly more capable in every way than they already are.
> What would happen if the orchestrator was unable to update the remote shared cache outbox after a local exception/rolled back transaction

To be sure, I understand your question, you are referring to the following scenario:

- Start global transaction

- Create shared cache entry

- Add events to the shared cache

- Local transaction fails

- Orchestrators starts rolling back local transaction

- Attempts to delete shared cache entry <-- THIS ONE FAILS

To ensure we don't have stale events in the cache, I would add a TTL, which is configurable for each job (such that you can have long-living events). So in case the orchestrator fails to delete the cache entry, they would be invalidated at some point by exceeding its TTL.
I know the author was only trying to show some benefits of FP but choosing such a trivial example gives a bit of a one-sided view of FP. Try solving the harder AoC problems and you will probably need mutable state (at least I do). Also I am not sure if for example recursion is always the best option when performance becomes a factor.
Shame since ECMAScript 2015 was supposed to give of proper tail calls in JavaScript, but Blink chickened out and so did Gecko.
I would love for most of the Blockchain trend to be converted in efforts towards BitTorrent style projects.

Distributed File Sharing or computation without the whole tokenomics that, while interesting, creates too much attention from scammers.
It has a web version apparently, so on linux you could use the web version instead of fiddling with wine.
Kids are picky about food in all kinds of weird ways, and this doesn't even seem particularly surprising -- if it's a food you don't like, why would your kid like it? I think that's a simpler explanation than there being something wrong with the fish.
Isolate the cache (no MESI) and we have that now, with dozens to hundreds of cores.

Frequency scaling remains dead, so we’ll get all those cores, slowly but surely.
At last we have the tech to do a cinematic, photorealistic version of Zero Wing! For great justice!!!
Interesting! Maybe she just inherited your taste in fish? I love salmon (also live in Germany) and my 4 year old likes it as well (but my 6 year old doesn't).
Fractality of things is all around us. The whole world is inside you, but at the same time the same world contains all of us. Most simple things are fractal, and most complex things are made using this concept. It's very applicable to code as well. I kinda encountered this my whole life, but it started clicking only few years ago on the 5th year of spitting code out of my head
But Red Hat is IBM, nowadays.

Also AFAIK IBM is one of the most dedicated supporters of C++ in general.
All the car locks can be opened by force using hammer, and in theory it should be equally illegal to force open as to use flipper. But in practice it gives plausible deniability if say a kid could use a toy like thing with some script downloaded from internet versus a guy breaking car window. Flipper kind of looks like a learning tool used for hacking, while SDR method seems like hacking tool that could be used for learning.

I wouldn't want flipper to be discontinued or anything but script kiddos are real.
Mac Nano, if they follow the same naming convention as with the small iPods.

Or they’ll save the Nano name for a iPhone-sized Mac.
> this is unstoppable

Citation needed, because real-world experience shows otherwise.

Mankind is heading for a larger capacity for information processing, this is the unstoppable arc of history. Mars or space doesn't figure into this equation at all.
Mine was held up by the seizure. I got an email about it, but they were able get it out a month or so later. They were able to work around it, but I don’t recall the details. I think they had a blog post about it.

I think it's becoming increasingly important we understand how the Earths complex ecosystems work so that we can recreate them if ever we need to.

The parent I’m replying to is partially discussing betting against Texas, especially regarding property values - if you think half the populace within a state being viewed as second class citizens doesn’t affect property values, I think you should reconsider.

How many rich tech people from SV/Cali who paid top dollar for Texas property are now quickly fleeing after the recent political happenings that stripped the rights of half the voting population? I’ve seen quite a few personal anecdotes on HN & also a general trendline across publicly accessible real estate data that point to them ditching their Texas properties quite quickly. This most definitely affects property values, & at least touches on zoning issues in the grand scheme of things.
I think "AWD" today is used to mean "anything that isn't 2WD". So whether it's a full time 4x4 or something that is mostly-fwd-but-rwd-when-slipping or something else isn't part of the nomenclature. It simply means "something more than 2WD at least some of the time". There has been an endless debate as to whether 4WD or AWD are the same or different, whether only "symmetric" or "full time" counts as one or the other. But these days with hybrid drives, traction control shifting drive front/back etc., it's just too complex to keep apart any more.
Hmm this makes me feel uneasy - why did they do it? Apart from the "hey cool! We sequenced Mendel's DNA!" what was the actual point? Sure now you know his genetics predisposed him to diabetes... Was that worth exhuming his body for?

What will they do at 250 years? Dig him up again for selfies?
Regarding atmosphere loss: currently Mars is losing about 95 kt of atmosphere per year [1]. Actively offsetting that amount of loss is not that big of an effort. Also I guess if you would generate an ozone layer, part of this atmosphere loss due to UV radiation would be attenuated.

Obviously, generating an atmosphere on Mars would be immensely energy intensive and likely possible only after we level up on the Kardashev scale.

At my uni the grade transcript from the university includes the grade distribution for the course next to each grade. So it's easy for a company to see that "a B in this course was comparatively good" for instance. It was almost always a curve. Where about 10% got an A, and the median of course was a C etc.

I've always found it so weird how in the US the scale isn't used. By doing all course work you're often assigned enough credits to guarantee a B (the challenge is having enough time to do it all, I guess), and by doing some more you'll get a A- or whatever. I've had friends that wee C/D students here take a year in the US and get straight A's.
> C++11 is 11 years old. If you haven't modernized your code base in 11 years you never will.

That doesn't make it a dead codebase. New code still gets written - and it helps when it can be written using newer, better techniques while working nicely with old code. I once worked on a codebase that had ancient code from mid-90s with explicit COM AddRef/Release side by side with C++11 lambdas and TMP.

I have famously predicted that sales of Mac's will decline and could even lead to a rout. Many professionals need Intel CPU support in order for them to run Windows on their Macbooks natively. And no, emulation isn't an option.

I predict that Mac sales will sag and that this will lead Apple to slash more and more models, eventually undermining the legitimacy of the platform. Most users will switch to Linux on Intel laptops from various other vendors.
The number of housing units in the United States has been growing year on year and in 2021, there were approximately 142 million housing units in the United States.
1.43 million is the average annual new house starts since 1959.
Houses sold is around 6 million so only 25% of the sales are new houses.
Lack of building is probalby no the main reason. If the interest rates was 8-10%+ a few million houses would come for sale. With low interrest rates many people would rather have more houses than they need to protect against inflation.
After watching clickspring on YouTube I think it is clear that you need very few tools to make something like this, just knowledge, skill and ingenuity!
I think it is a great start, and I suppose there will be many iterations to ensure fair usage.

It would be interesting to reach a point to be similar to docker where you don't need to load each layer again and you only need your specific layer. The shared models layers would be already loaded, and running multiple models at once would consume less GPU memory.
> will possibly another doubling of LPDDR6, that is 512GB with 1.5TB/s of bandwidth

Will DRAM really scale to that extent at the device fabrication level, though? We're already seeing limits to scaling with SRAM.
There's no other point to build a self-sufficient colony on inhospitable and remote Mars. Any scientific missions require much less effort, and afford much higher dependence on supplies from Earth. They don't require a colony, they can make do with an outpost, or 100% robotic presence as now.

Of course the "other" cause may be to make a backup of the Earth civilization and humankind for a case of collapse on Earth, due to global warming, an asteroid impact that hasn't been averted, etc. But this is only possible with true material independence, such that can withstand any blockage or embargo from the Earth's side, else it won't stand the collapse on Earth. The colony may declare allegiance to a particular Earth's government, and inherit the civil norms from the culture(s) which built it, but cannot and must not be ruled from Earth.

Independence != animosity and bitter confrontation. It's more like Canada is independent from the UK, despite some formal allegiance, and the UK is not going to send troops if the Canadian parliament votes in a way that bothers the English monarch.

This is a colossal task, likely not achievable even in this century with the technology we currently have. Stuff like high-temperature atomic engines and other near-sci-fi stuff could alter the equation somehow.

I think there's a chance they'd give you a thin iOS-based server OS (think watchOS or tvOS) with Hypervisor.Framework and let you choose what you run on it.
So true, local accolades are simply unknown in the wider realm. Big name brand travels farther than niche ranks of stellar departments in smaller known universities.
So to be clear - i agree that bitcoin is a shitshow, haven for fraudsters and generally sucks.

But to the specific point, there is no model that fully takes this into account. There is no model that puts risk to zero. There will always be adversaries that can attack you if the payoff is large enough. There will always be people with increased risk exposure who have to take special precautions because the effort/reward calculus makes sense for malicious people to attack them.

The reason bitcoin sucks is not because its model includes such situations; it sucks because the bar for someone to be the type of person who has to care about such things in bitcoin is so much lower than in traditional banking.

This will hold as long as Apple makes tons of money from its iPhone business.

I just learnt about "ip route change ROUTE quickack 1" from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10662061, so we don't even need to patch the kernel. This makes 2b a really attractive option.
Considering that Mac Pro is a special purpose machine, maybe it can be possible to have an architecture with multiple M2 Ultra chips and expansion options for special purpose hardware? Highly parallelizable workloads and use cases with special hardware requirements(like encoding media, ML computations etc.) can benefit from this stuff. Apple already sells cards like this for Mac Pro.

Surely that would require architectural changes and the software would need to be adapted but since these machines are niche, so is the software and Apple can sponsor the development of the few software people are using on that kind of machines. Apple is sponsoring Blender for example.
I never understood the opposition to good winter tires. Apart from the chore of shifting, and the added investment of an extra set of rims (usually), the cost of the tires isn't any larger over the long term. You wear two sets of tires interchangably so they last longer.
Hi HN,

I work as a consultant in Sweden. Last year, I tried an experiment and applied for a part-time job as a developer advocate and began writing for other tech startups.

When I get my PR in Sweden, I hope to work as an independent creator and writer.

I'm happy to share what I've learned so far, so please feel free to ask me anything.

And here's a link to my new book, which I'm writing for anyone who has ever wanted to earn a minimum of $1000+ from technical writing or blogging.

Carbon Neutral is bullshit. Unless they are actually sequestering gasses from the atmosphere, and they don't do it. What they are doing is buying "carbon credits" (according to their own website), which means - "someone else will be responsible for my own emissions".

Running one of the worst possible businesses for emissions (vanity air travel) and having the gall to call it sustainable is rather jarring.
Idea: extend the act to provide full protection for US Americans who expose espionage, sabotage (and possibly worse things) carried out in EU countries.
Actually I haven't tried prints! Very good point. The visual quality though is really good - the thing it does out of the box right are specular surfaces which are really hard for traditional photogrammetry. This makes capturing even shiny objects trivial (which might be impossible with with trad. photogrammetry).
They said the same thing for Java, Kotlin, and Go:

> moving to Earth, however much they want to, would kill them

That is an assumption but far from a certainty.
This is similar to saying that no one would migrate to TypeScript because there are so many existing JavaScript codebases. The success of TypeScript and Kotlin suggest that one of the languages that hope to interoperate with C++ like Carbon could become more popular over time.
I get why functional programming, but why functional languages? The article uses JavaScript. I do c# professionally, which can do similar, and have only dabbled in f#. Seriously asking so I can understand better: what can f# do that c# can’t?

There’s a reason why one of the most common recurring adult nightmares relates to childhood school scenarios, like having a test, and realizing do you never open the book, or never attended the class, stuff like that, is extremely common to dream about decades after such responsibilities end.
I've been living in Berlin for 9 years and still can't bring myself to try raw pork. We've lived in Austria before that and they don't eat raw pork either (at least neither me nor my native-born Austrian wife ever had any), so I suspect this is a northern German thing and that they probably also don't traditionally eat raw pork in southern Germany (but I don't know for sure).
Honestly, that first paragraph sounds like a self-justification for not improving one's social skills. By choosing to make it part of your identity, learning to improve would be self erasure.
