To be clear, I'm not talking about how it sucked for the Irish a hundred years ago. I'm talking about the country's latent economic disadvantage from being historically impoverished.

If you're in a former empire, you can take advantage of the infrastructure and wealth built by that empire today. You get the roads, rail, architecture, city planning, industry. It hardly seems mentioning but most other countries also have significant natural resources or agricultural output with Europe-wide protected status for various industries and products.

You are also capable of driving, getting a train, or bus to any other European country. You have infrastructure built to handle millions upon millions of people.

Probably better weather too.

Look, I'm not saying Ireland is some sort of woebegone backwater but you have to understand it is a small country with limited natural resources that's more awkward to travel to than its neighbours. It has to do what it can to compete.
Most attacks are remote, not involving physical access to a specific (compromised) device. Think a compromised website exposing 1000s of peoples passwords, and trying those passwords against other services. For that threat vector, it is more secure.

The way I would look at it is if that threat concerns you, don't use it for high-value accounts (email, bank, etc). Still is probably worth using for all those other low-value accounts; if an attacker has your phone, and has broken in to it, them having access to your Netflix account is probably the least of your worries.
I got 7:39; nice one!

As funny as this is; it truly sarcastically encapsulates everything that is wrong with modern web design.
The last turtle is probably assembly, or at least intrinsics, in most good BLAS implementations. Probably called from C, because that’s easier in C.

The nice thing about Fortran is that you get something almost as good, but a normal engineer can write it. There are more C programmers than Fortran programmers, but there are more Fortran programmers than there are C programmers who can write really good assembly kernels. And all the C programmers in that last group are already working on vendor BLAS implementations.
>My kids frequently say “I’m not doing that, it isn’t graded.” Even though it’s practice or homework for grades things.

To be fair, depending on how old your kids are, that isn't too bad. Knowing when to take a break/prioritize and skip an assignment is also a skill. Even pre-covid, it was common at my uni for classes to allow 2-3 skipped assignments per semester with no penalty. Used to be really convenient when needing to focus on something else, like an exam/project for another class.

It was a much more healthier learning arrangement than in highschool where it was normal to get assigned a bunch of homework from all classes simulateneously with no real flexibility.
Also, while it gets lost in the foundation model stuff, a major trend in computer vision is toward smaller, high quality datasets. Arguably CV had its V1 llm moment years ago with models trained on imagenet, which produced amazing general results but weren't good enough for much specific stuff.

If you look at what, e.g. Andrew Ng was talking about last year, there was a big emphasis on "small data" and getting good datasets.
Random Idea: It might be interesting to try to implement a bitwise binary search in x86 (or other ISA) as a single additional x86 (or other ISA) instruction in microcode (it could be implemented behind the scenes with multiple supporting microcode steps/instructions) -- the idea being that if it could be implemented in microcode, it could potentially be even faster than a software (compiling to multiple x86 (or other ISA) instructions) version...

Anyway, great article!

You're missing the point. The "shouldn't have" in the GP is purely from a legal standpoint.

It's not important whether it was a net good to have Pantone integrated into Adobe products. What's important is that Adobe provided something under a certain set of terms, then changed those terms to the detriment of all their users not because of anything the users did, but because of their own failure to get a perpetual license from Pantone from the start.
> we're designing the product for a startup where the UI changes (GPT powered) based on the user's intent.

This might just be me, but one of my pet peeves in modern UI design is when the UI changes automatically based on context. Whatever the UI is, I want for it to be that way until/unless I specifically ask for it to be different.

For example, control panels that are context-oriented are OK, but changing the panel automatically depending on detected context is not.

I'm playing around with it, because I am looking for things I can do with AI to perhaps earn a second income, switch from being a basic employee to working for myself, the tech is very good, but not quite there yet I don't think, it's extremely close though.

While ElevenLabs seems the best, it's a shame it lacks the ability to edit the clips a little more like some of the other tools have, for speeding up certain words, making them louder or adding in some emotion. The other tools do this far better, however they sound robotic, i'm exploring if this could be achieved with some manual editing.

Sure. The "for what it is" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, though. See also: it's rather expensive for what it is.
I'm expecting Virtual Boy 2.

Nintendo is not willing to lead the charge this time around (leave that to fools like Zuck) so they'll just wait to see which parts work and expand that.

After narrowly lagging behind China in 2022, Mexico officially became the US’s largest trading partner at the start of 2023, according to new US Census Bureau figures. https://www.gfmag.com/magazine/may-2023/mexico-overtakes-chi...

China should fall pretty quickly behind Europe as well this year. China's economy has fallen off the cliff - 80% decrease in foreign orders, 20% official youth unemployment rate, 50% reduction in home prices, 80% decrease in government land sales

China is no longer a partner to US, but a competitor and adversary. To Europe and Japan as well. China made that very clear when they announced unlimited friendship with Russia last year.

It's Russia + China + Iran vs Europe + US + Japan + Taiwan + South Korea + Australia + Canada
Yep. I decided upon my major in a similar time period. People thought I was stupid, and my advisor advised me against it. There was a lot of doom and gloom on the internet - way more than any downturn since then. Way more than what you see about ChatGPT replacing programmers.

The options I was weighing were philosophy, math, or CS. I chose CS because I liked building things. I figured I could at least make minimum wage. If it turned out so terrible I could just go back to school for something else.

Much to my relief, my first job out of college paid me $50k.
Looks the same for me in the UK. Even tried it from a few VPNs, and tried it from my Linux disk.
> TV has Ads, and then you pay for Cable and you still get ads.

Yup, and Cable was the YouTube Premium of TV back in the day. Advertising is cancer - it slowly consumes every communication medium it touches.

Remember: by paying to remove ads, you self-identify as someone who has disposable income and is willing to spend it, making you the prime target for advertisers. This money isn't going to be left on the table to waste forever.
This is how I feel. Nintendo carries about tech, but in a different way. For them, its not about ultra graphics, but about changing the way you interact with a console and game. Like the Wii, sure, it wasn't bleeding edge hardware or even good hardware compute wise. But it challenged the way we normally thought about how a player could play a game. The switch another example of a console that is both portable, but easily dockable. The only thing I wish they did different was make it so it was a little more performant when docked.
And yet, many European companies do routinely send data to the US, primarily in the context of using US-based service providers. They pretend that disclosing this transfer to the customer and pointing out that the ECJ has deemed US data protection as unacceptable allows them to do it anyway. In practice this may be true, but that’s only because the theory of what the GDPR requires is so rarely enforced in meaningful ways.
I (unfortunately) doubt it. I think the reality with our current situation is that only hobbyists and open source people care enough about that to do anything about it. Everyone else is doing Scrum so hard that they can't think of much outside the current sprint, and any "pre-mature optimization" is evil and must be avoided. The result will be more of the same bloat. Competition won't help because everybody is using the same bloated foundations and nobody will invest more than a few days in the foundation because it's not "product work."

The best we can hope for I think is that open source will create frameworks/foundations on top of which people can then try to build. Elixir Phoenix has been that to some extent, basically taking the rails philosophy but making it super light and fast (my Phoenix APIs run with 40MiB of memory and response times ~1ms). Maybe those sorts of advancements can save us, but I can't think of a way to address the browser that way and realistically right now the browser is a huge area of the bloat. A ton of code that runs in the browser is terribly optimized, but even the base is quite big.
I quit cars for ~11 years while living abroad, and just got one when my wife was 7 months pregnant. Once the kid is high school, I might be able to quit them again, but kids with their activities make it hard in the states.
Tell HN: Today Is Global Accessibility Awareness Day
As builders and creators we want to maximize our impact. There's a lot of talk about ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). Which for most us is pretty abstract and something only really big companies invest a small % of their revenue into to attract certain kinds of investors (there are exceptions).

One way we can all directly make impact is making a commitment to make our software accessible to all, starting with educating ourselves about common mistakes folks make when designing UI that produce software that can't be used by folks who have temporary or long term low vision, low hearing, neurological, and other disabilities.

There are a ton of free educational events on accessibility going on today, and if you don't have time today, find a recording, or listen to a podcast, there is a huge opportunity to make impact once you better understand the challenges.

A couple of years ago while doing research on accessibility I came across the Global Accessibility Awareness Day, and the GAAD foundation (https://accessibility.day/) - there are many such orgs, but if you consider yourself accessibility curious, today's a good day to get curious.

It's not the kind of public statement you can just disavow and all is well! It's extremely damning that he ever held it and damning of his judgement that he thought expressing it was a good idea. I'm glad he has backpedaled but it doesn't rehabilitate him all the way back to zero.
“Unlimited” data is not comparable because different subscriber’s data gets assigned different priorities at times of congestion.

In the US, you can get “unlimited” data for as low as $25 per month, or as high as $90 per month, depending on what level priority you want (which you assume might make a difference at peak times).

And then there is a lot of bundling going on like Netflix and Disney or international. For example, I pay ATT $45 per line for 4 lines including all taxes, but they include phone calls and data for almost all of North and South America, minus the Caribbean Islands.

My personal preference is for it not to be tied to a device that can be lost, stolen, broken. That way I don't need multiple backup devices to login to one service or multiple passkeys for the same service.

My password manager generates unique strong passwords, is offline and no big multinational advertising company controls it. The only thing I need to worry about is individual company's security practices. Passkeys offer me nothing of an improvement over this and only more obstacles and hoops to jump through.

Until I can use passkeys like I can my open source offline password manager I'm not using them.
And? Knuth also used Pascal for the original Web and TeX. Both are still Pascal programs that get transpiled to C before being compiled. Just because he does something doesn't mean you should copy it religiously.

Web and its derivatives are sufficiently advanced that they suffer from the lisp curse. What in other systems are major fundamental engineering problems - try adding an include in the middle of a c file - in Web derivates are a matter of taste. Do you have a chunk that picks up includes as you need them? Is it a big one at the front or back? It's up to you.

I bet if you timed it well you could do more than that on the Nevada 375, aka the Extraterrestrial Highway.

There are many straight, nearly flat, multiple mile long strips down its nearly 100 mile long stretch that doing 155mph/250kph would be feasibly safe, including a 10+ mile stretch between Rachel and Warm Springs.

155mph/60 minutes * 3 minutes = 7.75 miles, so you could probably get pretty close to 4 minutes of 155mph with little if any danger.
This is equivalent to saying that you can't build a color-accurate display at all because you don't know the central wavelength. Not only is this inaccurate (LEDs are binned for exactly this purpose), but brightness variations are by far the greater contributor to display inaccuracy.

The shift in wavelength is primarily determined by temperature and current, and they work in opposite directions so sort of cancel each other out. And in any case, we're talking about well-characterized shifts on the order of a few nm over the operating range. The eye's cones are broadband, so you're not going to notice wavelength shifts, especially compared to the brightness variations over the same range.

This is a big deal for white LEDs because you have no control of the resulting color temperature (the phosphor emission and blue component wholly determine the output), but for an RGB structure, you have pixel-level control over each component.

> I grew up on SNES and N64 Zelda, so admittedly I'm biased towards the old gameplay loop and mechanics.

This is an interesting perspective to me. I bounced off Ocarina of Time hard. It felt like I was being shuffled along a story that was already fully written.

Contrast that to my first experience with the series — the Legend of Zelda on NES — where you’re essentially dumped into the world without instruction and need to make your way.

For me, a huge draw of Breath of the Wild was the same as the NES version: being dumped into a world and being able to go wherever I wanted. I felt like that was a return to the old gameplay loop and mechanics. There was even item breakage — the Like Likes eating your upgraded shield.

I had essentially resigned myself to Zelda games from Ocarina on not being what I wanted, so it was refreshing to get BotW. I’m guessing similarly with TotK, but others in my household have made it such that I haven’t had a chance to try it yet.

The only thing I can think of that Nintendo could do to make me happier than with BotW is make a playable 3D game that is essentially the art that was in the original NES Legend of Zelda’s instruction manual.

Yeah, I agree 100% - I really support the approach of the developer here and am totally aligned with all the reasoning.

The libprima/prima codebase is very readable, even if you're not accustomed to modern Fortran (let alone Fortran period). It has fantastic comments throughout the numerical algorithms, and even though there are a lot of lines of code, in most places it really seems to be a minimally-complex implementation with very little magic. I haven't built anything against the codebase yet but based on the examples I feel it will be far easier than many other libraries out there.

A motivated developer could very quickly port this code to their preferred numerical programming language.

Why is the web interface left on? Just turn that off, there shouldn't be much to do with that.
The answer to this might be more application specific accelerators and 3D stacking. You can't afford to have all of a chip switched on at once because of the power consumption and dissipation, so you build more optimised accelerators and keep flipping between them as you encounter different pieces of code that may benefit from each accelerator. Only a fraction of the device is ever in use at once. You 3D stack the chips to get more transistors in the same space. NAND flash chips are already 3D stacked, often with 100 layers or more.
Thank you, paywalls are the worst.
