> It's Asahi Lina who really did the kernel driver (building on Alyssa's reverse engineering work).

Mostly based on her own reverse engineering work actually (which was all livestreamed). Alyssa's work was on the shader ISA and what goes into the various command queues to get the GPU to do useful things, Lina's work was on the lower level aspects of how the queues even work, interactions with the firmware, power management, etc.
Lots of ways. Buying cost critical supplies in bulk from cheaper suppliers. Switching from truck based shipping to rail for distance where the flexibility isn’t needed.

Those are just the low hanging fruits without any major impact to how work is done.

Stepping down into the internals of the business, it’s going to vary a lot but in manufacturing you spend time looking at high failure rate processes, bottlenecks, and single points of failure. Changing these with effectively no change to how individual laborers work is quite common and can significantly improve yield stability and throughput.

Going even lower level, it might be as simple as better insulation around a bake process resulting in 50% less energy.

You might be interested in reading about the improvements in steel mills where the labor required was reduced by an order of magnitude over the last 50 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_crisis

Improvements come without labor all of the time and it’s a frequent point of contention with the labor when it eliminates a role rather than acts as a force multiplier.
This feels like a personal attack on the author. I see this as an opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs.

In fact, author makes good points like the consensus building via runes/fortune tellers.

No, one of those dramatic things would happen, even in a worst-case scenario.

The worst case scenario for a venture fund (not A16Z specific) is that their future funds would be smaller and as a result they would need to make fewer investments and perhaps reduce the firm's headcount. Existing companies are not very affected.
Oh no, author is re-examining his beliefs, what a monster.
I’m quite gobsmacked at the arrogance and dismissiveness of your responses in this thread. Maybe tone it down a bit and be less defensive?
So what are you proposing? When you get laid off you immediately pay a couple of months rent to break a lease and move to somewhere with a lower cost of living?

Given that moving also incurs a significant cost (outside of a lease breaking fee), you have to be sure you won’t find work for >6 months for that strategy to pay off.
Experienced programmers often learn this lesson the very hard way. Especially now that we work mostly remotely.

The Tableau algorithm is patented. In particular, the algorithm that chooses the type of the chart depending on the properties of the data. It was developed under the name Polaris at MIT (?).

A few patent applications were accepted in the US and declined in the EU.

This is based on graphic-walker which is based on vega as far as I see. It would be interesting to see if vega is different enough from Polaris/Tableau.
It’s a lie if you get caught and are in a position to be punished. You cannot do anything against a recruiter, ergo they cannot lie. Or rather, even if they lie they can give as many bad faith explanations or further lies as necessary and there is nothing you can do about it. Unless it is so egregious that you can sue them, in which case you have either a fat settlement or a court that demonstrates that they did in fact lie.

Show HN: Real-time emotional subtitles for Apple Watch
I made a tonal analysis app with the goal of translating emotions across neurotypes and accents to improve emotional communication.

Our ML model runs on edge on the Apple Watch and was trained on representative datasets of the vocal diversity of North American speakers, taking into account race, gender, geography, age, and neurotype.

More about VIBES:

Introducing Vibes for Apple Watch! Vibes reads emotions during conversation to help improve emotional communication and shared understanding. Vibes is the first emotional subtitle app for Apple Watch, buzzing emotions with real-time haptic and visual feedback. Vibes was created by Valence Vibrations to improve emotional connection and friendship across diverse communities of people, while supporting the power of each person’s unique voice. You may even understand your own emotions better via Vibes.

Vibes only uses on-device processing, so all vocal data and emotional classifications cannot be accessed by Vibes or a third party. Vibes currently only supports North American English speakers and Apple Watch Series 4 or later. Other languages and devices are coming soon.

We have a free 1 week trial active and I'm happy to extend it for folks in this community if there's interest.
Worst thing is the comment (if there's any) is probably something like

> There are ~no good rural jobs.

This depends on your definition of a 'good job'. If this is about pay, yes, wages in the countryside are lower - but so are living costs. If I average over my contacts, people working rurally seem to be generally happier with their occupation, though.

> and other whining from people who would rather have their yard than replace that with a larger public park...

If I have the choice between my own yard, where I can park my barbecue grill, and a public park, which most likely will become a magnet for the homeless/drug user population, I know what I will choose.

People who believe public recreation infrastructure is the way to go ascribe an ideal to a public park that is rarely ever met - they live in a world where parks come right out of Edwardian England, with well-maintained flower beds and fences around them, where a park custodian closes the park at night[1]. The problem with that: That is incredibly expensive.

So parks are lucky if they get their grass cut regularly, and are relatively calm areas to sleep in at night. The problem now is that with homeless/drug user populations, the area becomes 'unsafe' for local residents, who will now avoid that park, at which point it loses all it's recreational value.

So ... why would I give up my own little yard, which I maintain, which is relatively safe, for a block-sized open sewer where it is only a matter of time for someone who ought to be in a mental hospital to shank me?

[1] ... and ironically, that type of park was not public either - it was private property often owned by the landlord, and you had to have a residents-only key to access many of those.

Sure, maybe the IPO shares sell for lower with higher rates, which may mean a lower total return for the VC. But to what degree? So the VC get $9 billion instead of $10. It seems to me the only thing that would affect is future fund allocation.

Promoting cancel culture? Personally I find cancel culture too reactionary and too extreme and irrational. Additionally cancel culture often gets shit wrong and ruins the lives of the wrong people. I would say in this case if you participated in such a mistake you should be the one that's put down.

But let's disregard that. For this specific case you can't even know who to socially condemn. If the law can't determine it how can you?

Most American credit cards use the point system. One point is one cent. You accumulate points. Then you can use these points for things like booking flights, hotels, or buying gift cards or Apple products, etc.

Let's say the cash back is 1% and you spend $1,000 last month. This month, you will receive 100 points. You can redeem this for $10. Most cards have programs where points are worth more if you use it for different things. For example, my credit card gives a 50% bonus when buying flights using the points. So the $10 is worth $15 if used for it.

i have bought latest x86 surface pro week ago. installed many programs, most are oss. and teams. and then i got machine hot and noisy. i looked into task manager. all programs eat zero cpu with random spikes of few under 0.1 cpu. but teams was eating constantly 4 or 5. i did not talked teams at all never on this device. just deleted teams. i know that raising bug or complaining about teams into support is useless. i even found ms principal product owner of teams in linkedin to write the issue. so pc is of my wife, and she uses teams on android and ok with that. so did nothing. hope they fixed the situation.

so when people on youtube say ipad better because battery life and noise. how much teams was root cause of harm to surface sales?
I wasn't aware of that. Thank you!
If this were the case, we'd see it in the zoning with a lot of parcels being underbuilt for what they are zoned for, since low density is preferred over high density. Instead, the city is developed to upwards of 90% of its zoned capacity. Its gotten to the point where no more units can be built, the zoning has to change in order to make it possible to permit more units. The high prices are all because the job growth in the area has outpaced new housing unit construction, which cannot accelerate to meet demand for housing by labor due to present day zoning.

Yeah I think the main idea is that people who like clean organization, boundaries, tidiness, clear responsibilities, etc, will tend to congregate together. And their organizations will be that way, and so will the things they create together.

People who like experimentation, chaos, prototyping, flat hierarchies, etc, will also tend to congregate together, and the systems that they build will also have those values.

Same for lots of different qualities. It isn’t A->B or B->A, it’s more like A<->B<->C.

If anything, the article proves that when you want performance don't use Node.js - or more generally, abstractions have a cost.

The actual library, as already pointed out, is written is C/C++ and bypasses Node for everything, other than providing an usage API layer.

Its the same as claiming that Tensorflow is written in Python ;)

I think the point that sebzim4500 was making is that the script is downloading an arbitrary binary and running it and that this isn't any less dangerous than running an arbitrary script, so you're screwer either way.

If someone wanted to do `rm -rf /` on your system, they wouldn't put it in the setup script you're piping to sh: they'd put it into the binary, making your inspection of the setup script effectively useless.
Given the top post atm is about websockets in node, I thought this very well written article would be worth bringing up again for those looking at strategies for memory optimisation in golang and how it was applied to websockets.
“I thought everybody was dumb but it turns out they saw the same things in weird ways!”

Is wrong twice (ignorance), while still asserting superiority (arrogance).

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but said opinions can still be ignorant and arrogant.

It was going off-guidelines for them to say the author should be embarrassed but not for calling out the character of the essay itself. It’s genuinely very insensitive, uninformed, and misguided.
> to say otherwise is purely a straw man argument

This is really overconfident.

That publicity isn't causally connected to success is belied by the existence of the advertising industry. While generally refuting across industries, it is worth noting that the most dominant AI company - Google - happens to be in this industry. They are explicitly known - having publicity for - their generous compensation packages. This is because of a causal model of talent attraction.

Success is obviously causally connected to publicity and the idea that it isn't isn't well supported by the evidence. Contrary to your assertion, it was not a safe assumption. Your appeal to Satoshi is an appeal to authority, not a causal model of its shielding off from project impacts.
This wasn’t about the ability to build a buffer, it was about what can be done on a single months salary.

Anyway, it takes longer than you think, especially if you had to relocate to take the new job. Once you take into account paying off that type of stuff, paying car insurance, car payment, funding your 401k, etc, you’ll be lucky if you can buffer one month for each month.
#5 is really important. What I learned from articles about Twitter, is big tech sees themselves as gatekeepers of truth. And while that is respectable without proper procedures, safeguards and most importantly impartial and independent oversight this will lead to unintended censorship.
There is an argument to be made that people of olden times were far, far, far, far more capable at a fundamental level than people of today.
I think it is against the spirit of HN, because it is a shallow discussion terminator and an ad hominem all in one.

It is too ambiguous to be about anything in particular, so we should just talk about the real issues specifically and in depth. If it is an issue to be against caste reforms, discuss that, don't just call someone woke and close the book.

It is also a bit of a dog whistle even if accidentally, since it isn't actually about any specific issue, but people can still identify that they are against it. Call something "woke" and suddenly people who never cared about the issue before will have a problem with it.

Language is weird though, the word has evolved a weird meaning and been co-opted by political agendas, so it is just nice to not drag that shitshow into real discussions as well.

We get so much power from just setting global scoped styles like this it's so strange to me that more of these patterns aren't common or included in minimal css frameworks.

With all the recent criticism of tailwind, css-in-js, and other bloated frameworks I truly feel like 90% of projects could get away with a handful of sensible global styles or "classless css" and then aggressive use of components with scoped styles. You hardly ever need anything else

What bothers me about Postman is how they took ownership of the popular httpbin project 5 years ago and left it to bitrot. They haven't made a single commit since then, not even dependency upgrades. Now it has acquired 5 years' worth of CVEs in its dependency chain. They receive PRs to fix those issues, but all PRs and issues are ignored.

Why take ownership of the project if when there's no intention of maintaining it from the very beginning? It's almost as if projects like httpbin are detrimental to their business.

You can detect whether a script is being piped to shell or just downloaded, and serve different content. At least pipe it to a file, then execute that file.
I irrationally want this to be true because I have an unreasonable amount of anger for how much a16z put into Adam Neumann's Flow. Neumann destroyed billions in value at WeWork, then used essentially hostage tactics to walk away with about a billion, and he still got a16z to invest $350 million in Flow.

I've been following Flow news fairly closely, and it always sounds like tons of fluffy BS to me, same as the new-agey BS that permeated WeWork. If the best example Neumann can come up with about building a sense of "community" is that you get to fix your own toilet, can't wait to see this, and a16z's $350 million, crash and burn. I think I might even be at the very least impressed if Neumann manages to destroy a ton of a16z's money and still pocket tens of millions or so.
> you can the full language to compose those operations and inspect your results.

The purpose is not to do this however, the goal for a repl cli is usually to invoke a set of particular, already implemented commands, not on the fly python input and output. The implementation will be predefined and packaged, repl are only used to run a list of specific commands with arguments that implementation has already defined.

The purpose of such a repl is usually for context heavy operations where you don't want to instantiate all the context each time you call or be doing IPC calls. This is a simple way to keep a single process running and having a repl cli to communicate with it. The repl itself is not for composing code, but for executing commands. Think of something like the command line shell to query a nosql db or a list of command to interact with a particular system.

> Specifically, if those connections are interacting with each other in any meaningful way, I think shared data is still too useful to pass up.

What does this mean? What are some scenarios where connections interact with each other? I work with dotnet. To me, every request is standalone and doesn’t need to know any other request exists. At the most, I can see doing some kind of caching where if someone does a GET /person/12345 and someone else does the same, I maybe able to do some caching. However, I don’t think this is what you meant by shared data.

Did you mean like if someone does a PUT /person/12345/email hikingfan@gmail.com instead of the next get request reaching to the database, you keep it in the application memory and just use it?

Or am I completely missing the point and you’re talking about near real-time stuff like calls and screen sharing?
