Intel should gut as much cruft as possible, 16+32 bit support is cruft for anything with 64 bit, and also double the general purpose register set with another REX prefix trick. Indeed, AMD should have done this back in 1999.
Wyldcard e-ink trading card Developer Kit
After the initial excitement from my Show HN post, Crowd Supply, an open source hardware crowdfunding site reached out about launching my proposed dev kit on their site!

After five months of putting everything in order for the campaign, I'm launching! Happy for the chance to get Wyldcard into the hands of more people.
Conversations aren't pure textual exchanges and people aren't robots. Things like subtext, tone, word usage, appropriateness of timing, (like interrupting a presentation,) the volume of your voice, who else is present, the examples that you give and analogies you make to explain yourself, and plenty of other factors weigh into how something lands. If someone wants to conversationally bully someone or make them look unprepared or incompetent in front of people who need to think highly of them, it might not even require criticism. TV journalists do it all the time without making statements at all– they just ask questions.

Being direct and being polite aren't mutually exclusive, and direct criticism doesn't have to leave out any information at all. Saying "This approach won't work under peak load because" in a code review conveys the same exact message as "Your code will collapse like a popsicle stick bridge the second we hit peak load because" during a meeting.

Why do a recall? Sounds like it's a simple software fix. Can be deployed over the air.
Just to be clear, I didn’t invent the idea that Terminator is a horror movie in disguise, there’s lots of discussion floating around out there on the internet. Cameron was apparently very influenced by slasher movies.
winget doesn't exist on windows server, unfortunately.
The mistake in your statement I think, is assuming there is a course of action that wouldn’t result in a problem somewhere.

It may look a little different, but there is nothing without tradeoffs.

Including indexing everything.
Ask HN: How do you have fun?
Sorry, I should have been more precise. encoding/gob is not optimized for situations where you create an encoder or decoder, read/write a single value, then discard that encoder/decoder. As the author noted, payloads for a single call to Encode() are quite large. Additionally, re-instantiating a gob encoder for each call to Encode() is very expensive allocation-wise and benchmarks where this happens will show gob to perform poorly in these scenarios. You can certainly still use gob this way, and if the performance works for you then have at it! But it performs significantly better in situations where you make multiple calls to Encode() with the same encoder.

Impact of ROS 2 Node Composition in Robotic Systems
This is hilarious. I lost it at the empty line for loading it in production.
It's even worse than that. If it was just the CPU...

It also simulate an old keyboard controller for the purpose of enabling the A20 gate which enables an address line.

The parent is saying that gob includes the type information in the serialized payload. This is extraneous information in many cases, and the result is an unnecessarily large payload.
Plenty are still made well... they're just not usually blockbusters that get a ton of advertising.
Just some random feedback on the val.town interface. The concept is interesting but I have one gripe.

I want to know what the code I'm about to run will do and I notice the pretty unique `@stevekrouse.hnLatestPosts` type interface where it looks like you can reference functions. But this leads to a deep chain of reference. Like, that function leads to `@stevekrouse.hnSearch` which leads to `@stevekrouse.fetchJSON` which leads to `@stevekrouse.normalizeURL`, etc.

There is some kind of DAG of dependencies that is invisible to me. I'm wondering what could be done from a UI perspective here? Like, maybe a tree view where each node is expandable? Right now it just pops open a new browser tab and I end up with context spread across multiple tabs.

The concept of composable references is powerful but I think the UX could be improved.
All else being equal, and no large external cooling events occur as mentioned in the comments, in time we will witness a change in what seasons the majority of people look forward to. I recall over my duration of time to date that in the heart of winter the majority of people hating the cold have stated "I cannot wait for Summer to be here" however my recollection of the inverse memory from the heart of Summer with people stating "I cannot wait for Winter to be here" is slim at best yet YMWV. Consider in the last few years the large number of Americans which have relocated to Florida - why not Alaska which also has no State income tax? One thing I learned growing up as a country boy hunting game in those Winters to put food on the table is one can always put on more clothes to warm up but the inverse is certainly not true in the Summer. We only need to look at existing cultures that have evolved through millennia of evolution to realize how temperature impacts chosen residency and the Inuit's are the defining example. They have evolved to survive in extremely cold environments by using available resources to keep warm, referencing 'one can always put on more clothes', however where are the mass population of cultures that live off the land as the Inuit's do but solely in the extreme desert? Yes, they do exist but are they as prosperous as those groups living in the extreme cold?

The majority of society resists change as this is just a fact of life however when that change is forced that resistance often surfaces in negative ways and here we are in 2023 with so much 'change' beyond that of just the climate.
Not gonna lie: I watched the 'best of' Bachman and Hanneman immediately after I posted it!
Yep, this is right. Tiny Phillips head fasteners tend to strip when camming out, making them not especially durable. Hexalobular ones don't cam out and are harder to strip, making them better for applications where they'll be cycled multiple times.

Twitter launches new Pro tier for $5000/month
I don't know if this will bite me in the long run but I'm learning to accept that I am at a particular level and others are attaining higher levels.

I will learn and grow and that's fine.

But at some point I have to accept ballpark limitations.

If I read a promotion for a product and I can't tell what it does - I'm not going to do homework to find out what it means. I'll just accept that this product is for people who have ascended to a higher level of existence.

I'm sure if I get to a point where I need a product like this - I'll write the correct google search and this will pop up.
Also, each insert will have to acquire locks, verify referential integrity, and write to any indexes individually. This is time consuming.

Just encapsulating css and js inside the html works perfectly fine. In a SPA you nowadays use history api for navigation and make dynamic dom changes on the fly. You only have to make sure than you serve the minimum amount of js and css on an initial page load. Then when the page is loaded you load the rest. Slight inefficient cache model when lots of initial page loads from different urls, but usually that's never happening (people are entering a site at one specific url)
I have a SPA, full size is about 3mb of js files. Separate html files containing only that page are max 20kb. Super fast rendering. Nothing server side.
Ah, so the system setting is hidden if the launcher doesn't support it. Makes sense, thanks!
> > The conservative government of the last 20 years spend an insane amount of effort to stop renewables by ... introducing NIMBY friendly limitations on where wind turbines can be build, ...

How is "but we built more than others" an argument against "CDU/CSU actively worked against renewable energies by implementing 10H"?
I get that they are going for an all-in-one solution with good UX, but I have a hard time believing that these features will ever be better than or feature-equivalent to uBlock and user script extensions like Stylus or Greasemonkey
Does he explain why all the other navies in the world disappear? Much of the anti-piracy patrols are done by other navies, like EU, India, and China. Any of the blue water navies are strong enough to prevent piracy. As are regional navies in the area. If they get together, as the European or Asian ones are likely to do, then they can suppress it worldwide.
Hard to say. I’m fairly sure that all of modern software could easily be 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller. But, the world has decided (and I think rightfully so) that it doesn’t matter. We have massive memories and storage systems. Unless you have a very constrained system (power, etc) then I think the big bloated, lots of features approach is the winner (sadly).
Modern social websites uses infinite scroll, and infinite scroll don't really work with browser's back navigation button. A direct navigation means you lost your read position completely. Hence nobody ever navigate directly.
It is, though, by the same argument also collectively dumber than the dumbest person who ever lived. No single human moron's brain could accommodate so much misinformation, useless fluff, spurious reasoning, etc. etc. etc.

So I think time will tell. My money is on a sort of regression to the mean: these models will capture the style and "creativity" of the average 2020s Reddit, StackOverflow, etc. user. I can't say I'm terribly excited.
It's a shame that their consumer products seem to be stagnating, be it because of no resources going there or because they actually can't get a reasonable uplift.

It's weird to me what a splash this had at the time. I'm kind of forgetting what the essential adds are versus existing ring buffer systems?

Iirc mainly it's that rather than there being a producer/consumer role, there can be multiple work stages? An item might need to be extracted, transformed, and loaded, and item can stay in the queue while waiting for each stage before being done? This is how they get the dependency graph? Are there other major innovations here? https://lmax-exchange.github.io/disruptor/disruptor.html#_de...

Recently notable, io_uring also has submission/completion queues which are also ring buffers. Since the submission & completion won't necessarily be in order, since any given work item could take wildly different times, a lmax style item wouldn't make sense; each ring buffer wants to be short lived in this impl.
This is a game changer. I’ve been doing something similar, relatively manually. I’ll give this a spin and report back.
I was thinking about the Dropbox comment actually as emblematic of the sort of current I was thinking of, but one that I perceive as growing larger.

It might be bias on my part - I work in deep NLP and maybe I'm just feeling the heat there for the first time.
> Intel should gut as much cruft as possible

Gutting 32-bit support will kill off a lot of legacy applications. Apple could only do it because there aren't that many enterprise applications and they provided reasonably well working tooling to ease the effort.
How and Why You Should Add Color to Your Scripts
many books will have a page in the preface that lays out the notation, even for very common objects. it's hard to make a cheat sheet for something like this because many symbols are used in different fields, and even if different subfields of the same field.
Accept it. Let it hurt for a moment, think about it, own the mistake and then fix it.

The good news is that pain is what's going to help you learn, we form memories better when we experience an emotion than when we feel detached.

You'll feel good about it the next time when you get to apply the learning!

Also tax spending. For example there's no central EU funded military but each member budgets it differently, just like how there's no New York military and Pennsylvania military.

Support for the A20 gate was actually already dropped as per the article you linked:

> Intel no longer supports the A20 gate, starting with Haswell.
> And that is typical of the state. Avoid trusting the government, it's not on your side.

Not particularly. It's typical of any organization where the people in charge don't have a sufficient understanding of the people and the problem area, and try to make up for that by focusing on easy metrics and CYA. The causes for that can be as diverse as simple incompetence to arrogance.

Also, it's probably time to amend the standard language about this hotline when suicide comes up to use a burner phone at a place away from your home.
I would hold skepticism for the moment.

I know the authors from the blog post quite well. Say what you will about the firm, but one of the authors have been investing in machine learning since 2016, and another has a PhD in CS (including a SIGCOMM test of time award!)

I come from a strong ML background (multiple publications, PhD dropout), I would say that the canon is actually quite good.

The sad thing was that Ho Chi Minh had previously lived in the United States and initially was friendly toward the US until they started meddling in Vietnam.

If the US could had gotten past the whole "communism = enemy" thing, they probably could have had quite good relations with a communist Vietnam.
Even for existing information, there remains an enormous amount of contextual / cultural / insider knowledge about the world that is not documented in any digestible way by an AI.

Nah, they can be emulated. Just as Apple continues to support x86 apps on ARM, and supported PowerPC apps on Intel, and m68k apps on PowerPC.
Yep, it’s fully integrated into Flux Copilot!

Yup. See “rt/lib.c” A bunch of inline machine code. The assembly mnemonics are in the comments.
"Politics means partially to make tactical promises and not deliver, but to blame others for your failure while faking niceness to everyone."

Nope ? Politics comes from the greek "Politikos", which relate to the organization of a society (or a company in this case). You seem to put a bad behavior into a word that doesn't mean what you think.

Reading your post (I gather you are the author), you fired a whole team for "bad behavior", without explaining how you are not the problem. Maybe you aren't, but that demands explanations.

For me and for what you explained (nothing), you are the problem, and the person blaming others while faking niceness to everyone.
I suggest reassessing the reasons you hold your beliefs regarding Yud/LW's AI x-risk extremism, especially in light of the fact that nearly every prediction they've made has been wrong. They have a stellarly bad track record for AI related predictions, and base their conclusions about inevitable AI doom on incomputable, unrealistic models of how AI works. All their predictions about a singularity stem from a hidden integral over infinity within Solomonoff induction, and not realistic models of how AI actually work. Get rid of the bad model and so too go the repugnant conclusions.

We've had artificial general intelligence since 2017. It is changing the world, but not in any way resembling the Big Scary Idea.

The energy source is "charged droplets" but what happens when they're used up?

Does the device create its own cloud of "used-up" un-charged droplets? How quickly do they become re-charged, and by what process? Or do the "used" droplets condense? Could this be used as a combined source of water and power?

Is the reason droplets become charged in the first place because of the Earth's magnetic field? Does it involve weird stuff in the interaction of space and the upper atmosphere, like solar wind / ionosphere / Van Allen belts / cosmic rays? If this is deployed on a worldwide scale, how worried should we be about depleting the magnetic field or stripping away Earth's natural radiation protection?
Recognition is the first step. It’s important to realize that it is normal to be defensive about criticism. I’d argue that’s the default human condition and most people don’t even realize they do that.

Being able to absorb criticism without personalizing it is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced. And you will not always get it right even when you get pretty good at it.
>> concatenation was also ok, but less efficient

That's my question. Why is this so.
That’s a good point. Perhaps the interest rate could remain the same for people making over $60k and reduced for those making less, with none of the “capping at x% AGI” for those above $60k either. This would make it more dynamic for, I.e, a person who takes time off because of illness, caring for a family member, or having a child.

More complicated and potentially more room for fraud.

Overall, I think we ought to do something for people struggling. But I agree that nothing should be done for the wealthy.
Anyone remember gsearch by Jeff Dean circa 2006 at Google? It was a full scan regex search, using 40-80 machines in parallel, not an index

Also sourcerer was a full scan of VCS metadata, on a single machine. i.e. if you listed all the commits by a certain person, it would just do a for loop in C++ going through about 1-2 M commits. They were just C++ structs in memory, and it was probably submillisecond times, even with hardware at the time

I remember reading those 2 programs and being impressed that they were both very fast, and full scans! (gsearch got slow later as the codebase grew, but the first version was a <1 second distributed grep of the whole Google codebase.)
The A20 gate was deprecated (and made software-based) in Nehalem, then was removed completely in Haswell. It's never been a feature of the Zen µarch(s).
I don't think "He didn't say that, but if he did he didn't mean it" is a great argument, especially since there is proof that he did say it in the documents linked to these articles...

It's also clear that that he did tons of illegal/unconstitutional things in his career, so it's pretty clear that he did say it and meant it, because it was an accurate portrayal of his behavior.
> in fact, continues to harm its local communities by essentially "hogging" low-cost power allocations that put the rest of the community's power prices in danger.

I've been to coinmint and know how they get their power. That isn't fact or truth. Their power comes directly from the Moses-Saunders dam via dedicated high voltage lines that they actually pay quite a lot on transmission costs (aka: maintenance of the lines and the dam). You can literally trace the lines from the dam to the plant, in google maps.

On top of it, the local area is really spread out (sparsely populated) and doesn't have that large of power requirements. Especially not compared with the Alcoa plant that was once there. You can't just direct the power elsewhere... if they could, it would have already been done decades ago.

I don't know what is expected there to 'give back'... Massena is a tiny community and doesn't have much in terms of qualified employees. I know that coinmint has had a lot of issues with people they've hired in the past. When I was doing all my research on the area there wasn't even local schools that you could hire from.

If anything the fact that the place is so remote, is a major problem and part of why coinmint isn't a lot larger.
That's the point lol. Hacker news guidelines clearly state... sigh whatever
RE: math symbols

Check out this excerpt of definitions of basic math notation I use in my books: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/set_notation.pdf It has some examples of the "alien symbols" ∀ (for all), ∃ (there exists), etc.

One problem (feature?) of math notation is that paper authors don't follow a consistent convention for symbols, so what you're asking might not even be possible... It doesn't help that different math domains might use different symbols for the same concept! That being said, there is the ISO 80000-2 standard that defines recommendations for many of the math symbols, with mentions of other variations, see https://web.archive.org/web/20210705180417/https://people.en...
You might want to read through that as a starting point.

Unfortunately, just knowing the notation (being able to read the symbols) is not usually enough. Understanding each symbol/concept usually requires knowing the math context and other related definitions of the domain where the notation is used. In other words, knowing the notation is not a shortcut for learning math... But still, I hear you about the need to select some symbols then right-click and choose "read this to me" or "explain this to me."
