edit: The emphasis is wrong here. The main benefit of a relaxed memory model is that it reduces the amount of work the memory subsystem HW needs to do.

Another ISA difference not discussed by the article is the memory model. I expect that the memory model and the degree of reordering permitted by the architecture could have a significant impact on performance.

x86 imposes stricter ordering constraints on memory accesses. The choice of this memory model was made long ago, when, I guess, it was felt that this made the behaviour easier to understand for the programmer.

In contrast, ARM's memory model permits more reordering of memory accesses, which can lead to potential data races and inconsistent program behavior. However, this greater flexibility can also lead to higher performance, as the processor can execute memory accesses in a more efficient manner by overlapping and reordering them.

I can't find any studies that measure the impact of this, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't a significant win for the ARM ISA in many programs.
I think this is typically, but not always, what you want. All of my usage of toolbox was using tools installed inside a container to operate on files in my home.
During what period (please tell me the years so I can understand) were white people "largely or totally isolated" from other people? In what area (would be great if you could show on a map) were they isolated?
> The elected legislature doesn't have the expertise to write regulations in highly technical areas.

For the most part the regulatory agencies don't have the expertise either. It is almost all political in every country where I have ever lived, and most EU tech regulations is also absolute garbage.
1) websearch "vanessa mae" and you would have heard her work in less time that it took to type the message. Estimate: less than a minute.

2) websearch "flex" and you would have understood what that means in even less time.

Totality of what you wrote. It does not convey any meaning regarding whether someone is an "active instrumentalist."

Best.

Yeah I'm including those too. My total outlay for an afternoon at the LTO/insurance office almost never breaks 5 man yen, even with a ~15 year old 300-plate sport sedan.

It seems easy to miss. I've got multiple domains that I manage this way, and upon inspection at least one of them doesn't have this configured properly.
I've been in these situations many times at various levels. Your analysis feels very spot on... imho you should trust your instincts, you seem very well grounded.

I have in practice found state machines to be best at adding foundations and a mental model for everyone to share. They are bad at making people think they can get simple flow charts of their business processes. The reality has always been, the real world is complex and regular code is already the best abstraction for dealing with it, especially when someone (founder) wants it to be more simple than it actually is.
Ask HN: What is the license of GitHub's blog and The README project?
I don't see a license on their articles, which makes me think they are simply copyrighted.

If so, is it legal to translate an article (and link to the original article) on another website?
I feel that alignment is not just hard but impossible, at least if you want something truly useful. Maybe the only thing you can do is let an AI develop and observe its nature from a distance, say in a simulated world running at high speed which it does not know is simulated. You can hope it will develop principles that do align with your own, that its essential nature will be good. Sometimes I wonder if that is what a greater intelligence is doing to us.
The problem is phone companies not implementing usage limit policies.

Ask HN: What is your best advice and mindset for running your own business?
Something like this would make for a great universal human language. In addition to this simplified grammar, it would also be great to limit vocabulary so only need a small dictionary, hopefully without any homonyms, homophones, or homographs.
Wayland is not declared completed, it has versioned protocols. Anything deemed worthy enough and on which this bazaar style of governance can agree on will be added to a newer version/extension.

Wayland implementations only depend on the kernel’s abstractions for video cards/buffers. Blame only NVIDIA that they were unable to support the kernel for so long. Xorg just had a hacked userspace support for nvidia cards via a binary proprietary patch — is that really the tooling you would want to use?
Thanks, I checked more of the bark examples and they definitely add the "personal" touch to it, elevenlabs sound more stale, so i definitely see what you mean. I also listened a few more times to your sample and it's one of the hardest types of voices to get to sound natural, when i tried a similar on elevenlabs, it sounded a lot worse in terms of the metallic s-s at the end.

I'll set it up this weekend and play around with it :)
If you scroll down to the bottom of the post, there is a references section with a link to it.
The fact that it was only found 2 years after being introduced (by non-attackers at least), in one of the most used pieces of software in the world, suggests that it wasn't actually shallow by any definition.

I don't think it's relevant that it could have been found by anyone. We know empirically that it just wasn't. It was found by security auditors, which is just about as far as you can be from a random eyeball.

Edit: An even more egregious example is of course the ~20 year old Shellshock family of bugs in bash.

I think this net neutrality stuff is a big boondoggle, but people should go to jail for this. Thus is fraud, fraud is a crime in the US, this should be criminally prosecuted, and I would be very happy to see a judge sentence someone to some time in prison for this.

FTA: He speculates the M3 variant Apple is testing is the base-level M3 Pro the company plans to release sometime next year.

Speculation, yes, but coming from Bloomberg, I think it’s more a bit of a controlled leak. Also, if they go from 5nm to 3nm, area-wise, that is comfortably over twice the number of transistors (5² vs 3² is 2.777…). I think a ≈doubling of memory would be possible.

Even if it isn’t, 20% in a generation is nothing to sniff at. The times of huge jumps every few months are long behind us.
I didn’t see them lowering salaries when WFH was implemented in the first place so I don’t think that they should raise salaries when removing it. A few people I know had WFH written into their contracts so I guess they would be able to renegotiate or keep home working.

In the end this has always been about manager/owner power, not about getting work done or doing the right thing by your employees.
Maybe visible, but as someone who works in EU, behind the screen there is a lot more emphasis on either not collecting data, or being more strict with what you collect and how you collect it.

PII data identifying, documenting it, and periodic review's of that is becoming standard procedure.

I remember when GDPR was announced, where for most projects, there was not anyone who could tell you for any given project, what all data is being collected and stored where.

So GDPR did have positive* effect at least with the part of the market I am familiar with.

* As in positive for people privacy
If you have a cheap source of hydrogen, sure.

BEVs need huge (and more importantly heavy) batteries to function, but those are at least cheaper than the fuel cell and even huger compression tank needed to make a hydrogen car viable. Also, forget about having a frunk.
If you're remote and move, then work requires you to change office location, in UK employment law I think they have to cover moving expenses. That could mean you get a moving allowance that you put into bricks. I'm not sure how it works but I'd hope that the building and land at kept at the same size.

Welcome to the bazaar vs cathedral. Linux doesn’t have a cathedral, and none of its benefits/disadvantages either. One “benefit” of the cathedral approach would be dictatorial control of the project, which could share resources better - apple can just say that this framework/whatever is deprecated in the next version and that’s it. Linux’s model is nothing like that.

Sounds dumb, but I miss the days of being able to reply to a text without actually pulling my phone out of my pocket. Usually it was something to the effect of a predictive "one sec" or slightly risky "yup" if I thought I already knew how they'd respond.

Thank you for confirming that we didn't type that slow back then. I felt like I was faster on physical keyboards.
The 40 hours is interesting because it seems like you could also live further from work and it would go down to 0 hours.
Can you share a sample with Godbolt? It might foster some good discussion here.
Which becomes clear when you realize that the anti-vehicle / tank ditches and the directional anti-personal mines ("Selbstschussanlagen") were facing the east direction only[1].

West German tanks and military vehicles could have driven over the ditches without major issues. They only worked one way - from east to west.

> Net neutrality is not law. There are valid arguments to be made against it - like with your cell plan, everyone can or perhaps should, pay for the bytes they use, and how much infrastructure (CPU) those bytes use to get delivered fast.

The big question that net neutrality answers is which of the two communicating parties is “using” the bytes: The end user. Of course users should pay for the cost of the resources they use; otherwise, the connection provider would quickly become insolvent, and nobody wants that.

But users shouldn’t need to know the internal business practices of their connection provider in order to understand their billing. Instead, net neutrality says that the provider cannot charge different rates for different destinations; it’s their responsibility to amortize their variable costs into some kind of destination-agnostic price structure for consumers. This is basic risk pooling, where the actor in position to affect the costs (via infrastructure changes) is required to shoulder the pricing risk of their own actions.
Alright, fair enough. I just haven't seen a map or a time period laid out that's ever explained this mythical whiteness. I don't think such a map exists, and all the racists I talk to always struggle to provide one. It'd be good to get a solid historically and biologically accurate outline from an intellectual heavyweight like yourself!

Thanks for playing!

Why would people suddenly need to take up childcare? Did those employees conflate WFH with skimping on childcare? I know the answer to that.. I had those colleagues. It's a shitty move on their part, their output was definitely less and reflects poorly on people who actually did their hours WFH and outputted more!
So wayland implementations can also get to exactly this stability level with time.

In fact, I don’t remember any crashes from the past 3 years from continuous usage.
>when i tried a similar on elevenlabs, it sounded a lot worse in terms of the metallic s-s at the end.

That's interesting. When I'm judging Bark I'm looking at my own random samples, but for eleven I'm seeing stuff people post on Twitter or YouTube, which I suppose must be cherry-picked. I didn't even realize Eleven did the same thing!

I cannot say much as to the numbers in the article, but it is obvious to me that the use of AI will increase the overall energy use of computing. What's more interesting, I think, is revisiting the customary reasoning in the technology sector: "people are expensive, compute power is cheap". Actually computing also has costs in terms of externalities beyond the energy used, notably the CO2 emissions associated with energy consumption, as well as those associated with the manufacturing process for the computing machines. Other costs I can think of are societal costs stemming from the jobs people might lose once use of AI becomes widespread.

I think it's time we explored the true costs to our species. Maybe in the end people are not that expensive after all if you consider the alternative.

The real bind is fitting travel around family life that changed since 2020, kids going to different schools and spouse changing jobs means work life balance is shared differently for most people.

Thanks for sharing the link. It is a testament to Google's failure marketing its cloud offerings that, despite wanting to try out this API, I had been unable to find it until you helpfully shared the link.

I went down the cloud console rabbit hole to play with it. Only the bison model was available (of the non-descriptively named gecko, otter, bison, unicorn models). For innocuous prompts I got this error: "The response is blocked because the input or response potentially violates our policies. Try rephrasing the prompt or adjusting the parameter settings. Currently, only English is supported."

Where it did respond, I liked the quality. It was comparable to the GPT-3.5 API. Perhaps a little better even.
I’m beginning to think so as well. You can get significant layoffs without having a “layoff” event, and you don’t have to provide any of the support that is required when firing people.

It’s clearly not what an employment lawyer would call “constructive dismissal” but it sure feels like that is the intent.
A generation ago, Apple was a penny stock and the iMac was released. The iPod was a success but a small fraction of the story. They were “only” a $75 billion company by the year the iPhone came out.

Apple’s valuation and PE ratio only became in line with its peers around 5-6 years ago. It was priced as if it were about to go bankrupt for much of its history , even after the iPhone was released, convinced that Apple just HAD to go out of business, or hit a ceiling, or whatever.

History is also littered with quotes from competition that didn’t take them seriously: Dell, HPE, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, Facebook.

The absurdity isn’t that Apple was thought to be an underdog, it’s that so many never took them seriously. Perhaps the main reason Apple is as big as it is now is because wall street and the competition refused to take them seriously? If they did, we’d have a more balanced industry.
The calculation I was introduced to had some narrative that resulted in the display showing: SELL.ShELLOIL. Stock advice was somewhat lost on 8-year-old me, but I was amused nevertheless, as the fluorescent green segment display pulsed.

I also learned the other one, referenced downthread, but for me it was "BOOBLESS".

My father's calculator was one of the coolest bits of kit that he actually let me touch and use fairly often. I can't remember if it was a TI or what brand, but it definitely had that really legible blue-green display, and removable batteries, I guess AAs or a 9V, and it had a soft black carrying case where we carefully and reverently returned it whenever we were finished calculating. Of course it was hardly scientific and only had the four basic functions. I don't remember, pun not intended, whether it had a memory function or not.

I'm interested to see an LLM do that. Technically, nearly every sentence is ambiguous, but that clearly doesn't bother us. An automated system that can point out sentences humans are likely to interpret in multiple ways would be interesting. However, no such thing seems to exist.
> But somehow users still manage to derive value from OpenSearch.

Because OpenSearch is built on the X-Pack components before they got moved to X-Pack.

> Right. Because it's not like Amazon explicitly state that they won't support Elastic Search versions beyond 7.10. Oh, wait: https://aws.amazon.com/what-is/opensearch/

You missed that your own linked post was speaking about hosting ES, not ES compatibility.

https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/keeping-clients-of-o...

> OpenSearch aims to provide wire compatibility with open source distributions of Elasticsearch 7.10.2, the software from which it was derived.

You also missed that it's about the literal name OpenSearch vs Elasticsearch.

Amazon benefits from people believing that OpenSearch is equivalent to Elasticsearch but open source, when really its this trailing orphaned fork that represents a significantly worse product: It'd be like if MariaDB had been named OpenMySQL.
where are they gonna go when few allow wfh?
I guess we need to start enforcing WFH policy in our contracts. I have zero trust in companies to respect WFM without it. Something like, if they break the policy, an amount of X months will be paid for the employee.
Apps being blurred are old x apps running in xwayland compat mode, they are not slower at all (full-screen games can circumvent the compositor for a long time now), and the rest are not typical at all.
Because they are still in rush mode, after OpenAI gave them pressure?

So I would say, it is simply not ready yet.

A working internal API is not automatically ready, to be a public facing API.

You say this like it’s a new and offensive idea when in fact this has been the norm for as long as paid workforce has been concept.

With regards to hybrid jobs: you can get a job closer to home, but there is a reason why house prices are more expensive in tech hubs and why wages are lower where housing is cheaper. So you can either have cheaper housing but lower income, higher income but higher house prices, or have both but pay the penalty with you time (ie longer commutes).

This is how it’s always been and why fully remote jobs have been a great life hack. But you can’t really complain about having to spend you own time commuting should you have a hybrid role.

Especially when the article suggests to "subscribe to Pinggy Pro", which is $5/month (currently $2.50/month on sale). Pretty sure that's more than the cheapest VPS on Hetzner.

This seems like paying more upfront and paying more per month for less.
> this tight coupling ignores the distributed reality of comments, leaving them with no real place to exist in the data model.

The canonical way to do this is too assign each article a unique identifier, say a primary key, in a table "articles". Then, each comment gets a unique identifier in a table "article_comments" with a foreign key back to the article's unique identifier. This is a well known pattern in databases but could be adapted to any other data structure, even one that is not segmented into tables.

Tanglibe Waves: affordable and DIY friendly modular synth with breadboarding
I had VROOM! in mind (https://github.com/MoonbaseOtago/vroom) because I remembered it aims for 4 IPC avg with a width of 8. Though looking again it's 8 compressed 16 bit instructions or 4 uncompressed 32 bit instruction.

So you could argue a real mix of instructions is not going to be all 16 bit but some 16 and some 32, so the 8 is rarely achieved in practice, and also the block diagram only shows 4 decode blocks. But it can in fact peak at 8 instructions decoded per clock, so I'll call that 8 wide decode.

(You could even argue it's especially impressive, since RISC-V technically qualifies as variable-length encoding like x86, it's just that only the 16/32 instructions encoding are really in use at the moment)
