I was wondering whether there was an FPGA onboard for emulation, but I couldn't find any mention in the tech specs [1]. I do think there's a typo since there seem to be two models but they are labelled exactly the same as far as I can see. Weird.

Also weird/wonderful that this is a handheld device featuring (at the high end, and let me guess it's thermally throttled) a GPU capable of 8.6 TFLOPS while the system consumes no more than 30 W. That is more than the 2001 US supercomputer "ASCI White" [2] did, which at most reached 7.2 TFLOPS. It was housed in 200 cabinets weighing a total of 106 tons, and consuming 3 MW.

Usually (well, here in Poland) it's around 10% of value, that buyer loses if they change mind but seller have to pay 2x if they back off.

Then usually after signing that you can get the mortgage (at the very least it is much easier if bank gets the papers showing you're in progress of buying home).

After you sign the final deal, you pay and you are then written down (and bank, if you buy with mortgage) into land and mortgage register (which in my language is just called "perpetual book", funnily enough).

There is a bit more complexity when buying some old stuff that might not have entry in the registry, like my grand-grandfather house only have some documents for getting land from government after war and then them giving it to grandchildren few decades ago

If the recent decline in annual birth rates simply reflects women pushing off having children from their 20s to their 30s, then annual birth rates will eventually rebound and the total number of children the average U.S. woman has over her lifetime will not change. But the decline in annual birth rates since 2007 is consistent with more recent cohorts of women having fewer births. Those cohorts have not completed their childbearing years yet, but the number of births they would have to have at older ages to catch up to the lifetime childbearing rates of earlier cohorts is so large that it seems unlikely they will do so. If the decline in births reflects a (semi)permanent shift in priorities, as opposed to transitory economic or policy factors, the U.S. is likely to see a sustained decline in birth rates and a general decline in fertility for the foreseeable future. This has consequences for projected U.S. economic growth and productivity, as well as the fiscal sustainability of current social insurance programs.

I almost agree with you, I don't agree with the gatekeeping/nitpicking of saying "you're doing it wrong"

Peace requires justice.

If there is no justice, there can be no peace.

If you support peace in the presence of injustice, you support the injustice.

So it is a good exercise to think about the language we use to describe injustice such as hate speech.
> what is the difference between compression and understanding? I can't prove it formally, but I rather strongly believe they are, fundamentally, the same thing.

I'm not sure this is true in general. I feel as if I understand something when I grasp it in its entirety, not when I've been able to summarize it concisely. And conceptually I can compress something without understanding it by manually implementing compression algorithms and following their instructions by rote.

I think understanding and compression are plausibly related; one test of whether I understand something is whether I can explain it to a layperson. But I don't see how they're equivalent even asymptotically.

> then maybe your artificial faux-duck effectively turned into a real duck?

I can't really get behind this sentiment. If a language model behaves like a duck in every readily observable particular then we can substitute language models for ducks, sure. But that does not imply that a language model is a duck, and whether it even could be a duck remains an interesting and important question. I'm sympathetic to the argument that it doesn't really matter in day-to-day practice, but that shouldn't stop us from raising the question.

I wish we could implement your solution when it comes to war. The way to make war less deadly and terrible is to not fight wars, these guns don't fire themselves. If only life was so simple.

You may say it is a bad argument as war depends on others, not just oneself, but in many instances of death cap mushroom poisoning, the victims are not the ones who picked and prepared the mushrooms, do they deserve death too?
Elegance and completeness are two different things. But to answer your question anyway, I would say a framework's goals are more specific than the language's.

For example, Python serves both the data science community and the embedded community. The two have wildly different goals, and thus, different frameworks to achieve "fairly basic tasks [for their domain]".

JS serves so many different communities/domains, which is why there are so many frameworks. Larger audience, with even more different needs. The fact it can serve so many different audiences is a testament to its elegance.

In the article's example the original "small" Xnet and the other person's vision for "big" Xnet are two projects of the second type, but their vastly different objectives might be at least partly trascended and reconciled by adding a project of the first type: common standards and interfaces that allow both Xnet incarnations to serve the same content and substitute each other, thus providing practical value to actual users rather than experience to the authors.

Shape snapping is a feature in the software that allows shapes or objects to be automatically aligned or adjusted to a particular grid when moved or resized.

neetoWireframe uses React Konva to build wireframes and prototypes. React Konva is a JavaScript library that provides a React component interface to the Konva library, a powerful 2D drawing library for the web.

React Konva enables developers to create and manipulate complex graphics and visualizations in a declarative and efficient way using familiar React patterns. With React Konva, developers can easily create canvas-based applications, animations, interactive games, and rich user interfaces.

React Konva is highly customizable and provides many features, such as shapes, animations, event handling, and filters. It is an open-source library and is widely used in web development projects.

In this blog, using animations, we'll see how we implemented snapping shapes while dragging them in the canvas based on the position of other shapes.

> In most other EU countries you'll be laughed out of the court with such demands.

In many other EU countries DNS-based blocking of various piracy sites is just standard procedure by ISPs, so courts aren't even asked.

In Germany there are very few sites which are actually blocked, and usually just for single ISPs because every single one requires a specific court order.

Last week I was in the Netherlands and found that multiple sites which work perfectly at home in Germany were blocked by the Dutch ISP.
The other day someone was complaining about too many people in the housing thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35962521

The two are linked. Having children is at least partly an economic choice. People have spent decades working against "teen moms" and "single parents" and "welfare queens". Everyone is very clear that you must not have children unless you can comfortably afford to do so. And not just now, that has to be enduring economic security across their childhood. Now, how many people can comfortably afford to do so?

Are the people who want others to have more children prepared to pay for it? To help make sure that enough housing and infrastructure is built for them?

German, but not much knowledge of all things judicial: I believe that the German system might suffer a little from being torn between the Roman law tradition (via Code Napoleon) where the code is undisputed authority on one side, and common law tradition on the other, where consistency with precedence is considered very important.
Because a cone-shaped demographic pyramid means:

2. A drop-off in available investment capital as private pensions are converted to bonds and cash

3. Fewer workers for an economy with soaring demand for specific fields e.g. medical

Yes, but that puts the onus on the maintainer to actively reject contributions that they don't like. It doesn't help that often people will implement something without even asking if its right for the direction of the project and then come with the expectation that upstream will accept it. You could say that thats on them for having the wrong expectation but that doesn't change that it isn't fun to tell people "no".

Still, forgoing all contributions for that or even keeping the source closed is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Even if you don't want any features being contributed at all there is value in accepting patches for bugfixes.

It's a problem when it happens suddenly because you end up with a 'top heavy' age distribution. The elderly pensioners:young earners ratio explodes and society security/national insurance cannot afford healthcare/pensions etc.

This is compounded by what was (until recently) a steady increase in life expectancy.

The really frustrating aspect of this is pensioners, who have traditionally huge voter turnouts during elections, are unlikely to have their benefits cut, because it would be political suicide for a party. The elderly believe they have "paid in" to their plans and deserve them, but outside of private pensions, this is usually a significant over-simplification. Instead, what will happen is the working young will need to pay for the generous promised benefits that the elderly are receiving, whilst 'paying in' for much lower benefits for themselves.

Beta test AI workplace search tool
Problem we are solving

Managing and searching through unstructured data in the workplace can be cumbersome and time-consuming. Employees spend an avg of 1 hour a day looking for internal information just to do their job. This leads to frustration and significant loss in productivity.

The solution

We are working on an AI-powered knowledge discovery tool that offers a conversational interface for you to talk to your data and helps you retrieve and make sense of all your data, documents and resources across apps.

Think of it as ChatGPT on your own data.

I’m fully aware of how IEEE 754 works, and that there is—to quote my own comment—“a much more complicated generator that takes more care to ensure ideal rounding at the limits of floating-point precision”. If you’re looking for somebody clueless to argue at, you’ll need to go find someone else.

But these details aren’t relevant to this conversation:

• We’re not simulating the weather, we’re drawing dots in a circle—and anyone who cares about the dots being shifted from true uniformity by tiny fractions of the radius of an electron is going to have objections to any conceivable computerized representation of the numbers involved.

• It’s quite reasonable to implicitly treat this discussion as a question within the domain of true mathematical reals, and quite unreasonable to chastise someone as incorrect and careless for doing so.

• It’s still false that “rand(rand()) == rand() * rand() relies on uniform distributions”. This identity between distributions holds with the naïve multiplicative implementation of rand() and any underlying random generator, even a blatantly skewed one, in either the mathematical or IEEE reals, exactly. (And with a more precise IEEE generator, it will hold in as close of an approximate sense as one can expect any mathematical identity to hold when translated to IEEE, which from my perspective is just fine in this context. My only real interest in even acknowledging IEEE here is to support the point that commenters above were correct to consider the identity intuitively obvious, even when you try to throw in that well-actually.)
> In general, a smaller workforce and an aging population would have negative implications for economic productivity and per capita income growth. In addition, the combination of a smaller workforce and an aging population puts fiscal pressure on social insurance programs, like Social Security, that rely on tax payments from current workers to pay the benefits of current retirees.

This is from economofact.org so I understand that they translate this to metrics like “economic productivity” yet, this kind of framing irks me. Also the implication that this impacts social security may be true for the existing system, but it may only imply that this system may need to change.

Yet I feel that the implicit message is: get policy in place to get people to make more babies.

But why isn’t the falling birth rate just a good thing from a human well-being perspective? Or: why is there even implied that there is a problem?
