I mean, there are usually two orthogonal aspects to "CRT emulation" in general, although for the Amiga really only one was relevant, except on the low end of the market.

The first is the display characteristic of the CRT itself. The analog nature of video means that there are no discrete pixels within a scanline, only smooth variations in voltage. The fact that phosphors don't equal pixels, and sometimes the electrons that contribute to the representation of a given pixel can hit more than one phosphor of the desired primary color. The persistence of the phosphors in use, as they fade. Those are relevant to any CRT simulation, regardless of the actual properties of the input signal (composite, s-video, RGB, component).

The second is the artifacts that occur with some video signals, such as the crosstalk that occurs with properly modulated composite video. Since the Amiga was an RGB-first system, these artifacts aren't generally relevant unless you're specifically targeting the look of Amiga graphics when displayed via composite, as was somewhat common (the A1000 and A1200 had color composite video output built in, and the A520 video modulator connected to the RGB video port, and thus worked with pretty much all Amigas). Various platforms had various levels of adherence to the actual NTSC spec (a few platforms, like the Apple II, even intentionally used a slight mis-timing of the signal to leverage NTSC signal characteristics to provide color output with a minimal amount of hardware). The Amiga did, however, output an extremely spec-compliant signal by default, especially when switched into interlace mode. This made the Amiga wonderful for video production work.

This is speculation and opinion, but I feel like a majority percentage of the complaints about CRT video quality are really about the latter. While CRTs aren't perfect, when displaying a high-resolution RGB or component signal on a high-resolution tube, they can offer an image quality that is very hard to match (although modern OLED-based sets are getting pretty good with this, and plasmas were also pretty good in this regard). Some of the deepest black levels you'll ever see, with zero sample-and-hold artifacting as seen on modern LCD panels. Virtually no display lag, the image appears on screen pretty much as soon as it comes into the set (HDTV CRTs with image processing notwithstanding, SD CRTs and PC monitors are often the best in this regard).

Of course, much of this is subjective preference, outside of the actual physical characteristics. Some people are bothered by the 15kHz flyback whine (which I can still hear, albeit at a reduced volume, at 43 years old). Some people find the interlacing used with SD video signals to be annoying. But there are also a segment of people who grew up with CRTs everywhere, who find all of that stuff nostalgic. Some of us even intentionally use NTSC filtering in emulators where possible to really tickle that nostalgia.
>End-to-end implies traffic between individuals

I strongly disagree, this makes zero sense, and I'd never heard of it in decades up until on HN just the other day. End-to-end means exactly what it says on the tin: END to END, with no middleman. The specific identity of what each "end" is, whether human, organization, or even a machine and not a human at all, is irrelevant. The point is that Alice and Bob can communicate information and nobody except "them" (noting that "Bob" here could be Future Alice too as in an E2EE storage service like a password manager) has access to plain text, only the ciphertext. This in contrast to things like email, where your goal is to communicate to Bob, but the relays it travels through also have access to the plain text even if the transmission between each hop is encrypted.

So if I'm talking to my bank through a link where only my bank and I have access to the info, that's absolutely E2EE. Same as if I'm logging into or commenting HN. HN is my "final destination" for the communication of information, and only myself and HN can see the plain text text during said communication (though of course in the case of comments HN then takes it and publishes it at my directive).

In contrast other sites may be both E2EE and not. If I'm accessing Migadu or MXroute or Google in order to find out something specifically from them, the HTTPS connection is sufficient for E2EE, since they're the other party. If I use webmail to send an email to someone else, the fact that I connect to their service via HTTPS doesn't make for an E2EE communication, because they're not the intended recipient, but a middleman, yet can read the plain text anyway.

If multiple cores are trying to do atomic operations on the same value, the hardware typically is not fair. For mutexes, it depends on whether the operating system wakes up waiters in a fair way. Often that is not fully fair either.

If there are only two threads at most, you can sometimes use a different algorithm than if you have an arbitrary number of threads (for example, for single-producer, single-consumer queues, lockless is typically better than with a mutex).

You should of course benchmark your particular problem to see what solution is actually faster.

Not sure what startup time matters for running a persistent service is, and it's obviously tied to hardware. You can get applications up and running in less than second or so (we were using Micronaut to resolve dependencies at compile time). If you use GraalVM you can compile to native code and now we're talking a few tens of milliseconds to get an application up and running (or execute and exit).

This is assuming that more opportunities are being created in certain roles... Unfortunately there aren't being more house representatives, senators, etc. Professorships are increasingly rare. While you can argue that, roundaboutly, boomer executives and boomer equity owners (e.g. partners in law offices) can invest in more companies that will create new executive rooms and new partnership positions, the reality is we are actually seeing more and more corporate mergers which means less positions for upwards mobility.
I think it basically boils down to whether the political stuff can cause a significant portion of the existing user base to start boycotting the brand. That sounds kind of extreme given the situation but I am not completely in touch with mainstream media driven perception.
I have no idea who makes the final call, but NASA has shown they too were willing to jeopardize the life of their crew once budget cuts had removed any margins for them. I'm also not saying that Elon has made bad safety calls, but what I am saying is the Elon has every incentive in the world to push past safety concerns. Worst that can happen for him is he'll have to give an apology and payout $X0m. We also have to be a bit concerned because there are reports that Elon thinks he's ensuring humanity's survival. I do not trust someone who thinks that his mission is existential despite no evidence that a standalone Mars colony is possible. Bad incentives are present for the NASA admin too: worst that can happen is perhaps having to resign. The astronauts die, their kids don't have a parent, their partners have to bury them.

Sadly it suffices for them to get direct government access to the endpoints.

Hard real-time has a huge amount of uses for the average person. I just made toast -- the software-controlled thermostat in my toaster oven has (slow) hard bounds on its sense-to-control latency to avoid dangerous overheating. Before that, I brushed my teeth -- the brushed motor controller detects a motor stall by increased current if I brush too hard and stall it, shuts down the motor to avoid overheating (with a hard real-time sense-to-actuate constraint), and beeps to inform me. Then I spent some time on HN, with a laptop with PMICs and other microcontrollers that have hard real-time constraints all over the place. By far the majority of my computer interactions so far today have been with computers that have hard real-time constraints, and I haven't even gotten in my car yet!

Agreed, the definitions here of what a GNN is (=> cannot do) seem pedantically narrow & extreme, and then throws the baby out w the bath water

See last ~2 years of work by Michael Bronstein's teams (who moonlights as Twitter's ex? GNN r&d lead) that address 2+ of the points here

It's true they are not the end-all, but our issues in practice aren't the above, but more like how to best combine temporal deep learning techniques w graph ones (it is not just another continuous dimension)

Worth noting: TDA methods & UMAP are largely the same under-the-hood & in practice, and we find UMAP (incl neural) highly effective, and typically reach for it before GNNs. UMAP has been an admirably rare mix of theory & practicality..

> Isn’t it sad that some of the most valuable companies are renting middlemen(AirBnB, Uber)?

Hum... That one is expected. If you improve commerce, you create a huge amount of surplus, and you will certainly be able to take a bit of it.

What is sad is that the current crop of middlemen is so uncreative and risk-free. That means our commerce is so restricted that anybody bold enough to defy the government makes a revolution.
> Regardless of your opinion on Elon, I don't see the issue

The issue with the false notations that people are subscribers (whether its dead celebrities, live celebrities, organizations, or whatever—the specific example of the many Twitter has done in this rollout doesn’t matter) is false endorsement, which aside from being deceptive and unethical is a violation of federal law (the Lanham Act.)

There’s additional issues that come from the fact these are, for organizations (gold check), bypassing verification as well as payment, but the false endorsement one is the most general issue. Bypassing verification isn’t aj issue with Blue largely because Blue verification is meaningless.

> OTOH, Google & Meta are advertising companies. I question their utility to the world.

True, advertising is a huge part of Google and Facebook. However they are so ubiquitous and embedded in our lives via the the Google search engine, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube... that you seem to only remember the unpleasant side which is advertising.

Haven't you run thousands of Google searches by now? Sent thousands of WhatsApp messages (i) ? Seen thousands of YouTube videos? Surely that has given you tremendous utility. You may argue that you find the the way Facebook/Google are making money as unattractive, but surely these companies have provided net positive utility to you and the world?

They are also some lovely open source projects that have come out of these companies that are being used by the next wave of startups!

The paper seems to be using homology as the topological feature here. I've done some work in Topological Data Analysis before and it feels like the hidden issue is that computing homology is generally very inefficient(Since it usually amounts to reducing an nxn matrix).

It definitely feels like graphs/topology should be helpful tools to work with data(Since graph-like structures are good representations of the real world), but we need to solve this efficiency issue before this can be possible.

Also to address the confusion on how category theory comes into it, category theory studies abstract structures where you have objects and relationships between these objects. A lot of algebraic topology(Which is the sort of topology relevant here) is built in the language of category theory(Either by neccesity or by convention).
School isn't a panacea either. I think I've done above average in school for the most part, but I never learned enough to have "professionally applicable skills". And the skills I actually use in my profession I learned outside of school.

The thing is, when people are motivated to do something, they'll learn what they need. Otherwise, not even school can force feed students into learning those things.

As a data engineer, validating your SQL code as you develop pipelines is hard. It requires running the code to materialize a "development" dataset, then auditing the resulting dataset to ensure your code produces the correct output. That tedious process usually involves writing lots of ad-hoc SQL scripts.

We built an integration with a popular framework for orchestrating SQL pipelines – dbt – that enables developers quickly profile their development datasets and diff them against production to audit their work as they code. It's free for individual developers. (We make money by selling CI/CD validation to teams)

What they don't take into account is the secondary and tertiary effects of doing things like this. I stopped visiting channels that did the faces, LTT among them, and I also (usually) insta-close any video where the presenter is making a completely fake 'why don't you tell me about it in the comments' calls to action.

The things is that your numbers might go up and your audience might grow, but these tactics work because you are appealing to the trend at the time. People see stupid face and click and the trending metric goes up and you get more hits -- same thing with user interactions on comments.

However, two months later when someone is trying to find a video about how to hook up their AMD CPU De-hot-an-izer to a radiator and they see Linus making a Macauly Culkin Home Alone face they pass, and you lose a potential actual long-term subscriber.

Also, people with standards tend to be really happy when those standards are at least partially met, and tell other people about it. On the flip side, people looking for their youtube 'stupid faces video fix' tend to forget what they saw 10 minutes later.

My interpretation of this:

You have an x86 machine running Linux v5.12 which is running QEMU using KVM accelerations. Using this setup, you're able to emulate a machine that can run Xen. Since Xen is a type 1 hypervisor, you would then run a Dom0 and perhaps many DomU machines inside it, let's say Linux here for both.
