> interested in battery life

The Anandtech breakdown (https://www.anandtech.com/print/18871/arm-unveils-armv92-mob...) goes into detail on this. While all the cores are claimed to perform better at the same power draw, they draw less power if they have to perform at the same level as the previous generation.

Smartphones will use a combination of big (X-4), medium (A720) and small (A520). Since the small and medium cores are more performant and use less power, that opens up opportunities for battery savings. There could be loads where the larger core remains asleep while the smaller ones finish the job, since they’re more capable. Or the same cores do the job, but use less power.

So if you buy a flagship in a couple of years, the CPU will consume less power. The battery tech will have progressed as well. However, the screens might be higher res or higher refresh rate (120Hz instead of 60Hz). Or it might use a 5G radio that needs more power. So the net effect is that battery lasts about a day.
> Wasm though seems like the likely general heir, and will have many different offerings for how to do that (Deno being one!).

I was recently blown away by some ideas that StackBlitz [0] apply based on WebContainers. The idea of a "server in the browser", they allow you to run Node-based environment like that via Wasm.

Requiring every user to compute it's own PoW is a terrible idea. It defeats the whole purpose. One's person expensive computation is another person's almost free computation.

I commented in the past about it:

"At first glance, yes, we can create intentionally expensive computations without relying on a blockchain, that would serve the same purpose. In reality we cannot. Special computer hardware (ASICs) could generate much cheaper PoW annotations than general purpose computers, and sell it to spammers. Blockchain economic incentives ensure that ASICs will be used by the miners first and foremost."

Listen. If you don’t know who I am, and you think I shouldn’t think you should know who I am, then you clearly don’t know who I am!
I think in a normal year, wmf might be right. However, I'm inclined to agree with you that it seems aggressive. TSMC's roadmap had N3E landing a year after N3. If the rumors of supply struggles with N3 for this fall are right, it would seem like N3E might be a stretch for Fall 2024.

Maybe rumors of TSMC's N3 troubles have been exaggerated. Still, it seems unlikely that Spring 2024 will see X4 cores. It seems like there's a decent likelihood that Qualcomm will push back their Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 by 6 months to get the X4 cores (or create a Gen 3 with smaller enhancements). If TSMC's N3 is ready for Fall 2023 and N3E is a year behind that, we aren't going to see X4 cores until Fall 2024.

It sounds like ARM is targeting a TSMC process that's farther out than normal - or at least seems farther out based on the information TSMC has given to the public.
For those TV/media centre/home server use-cases, I suspect it’s also that enthusiasts might already have a collection of older, good-enough hardware for that purpose as well.
Tangential, but have you considered taking up a practice that might bring your own experience of something beyond yourself, e.g. meditation? Far better to participate than simply spectate.
Why do you apply this standard to cheating at games and not for example stealing?
I find the view ridiculous. "If not a crime if you didn't catch me red handed" kind of ridiculous.

That's a surprising way to frame what the Wikipedia page says. The ban was part of a russification attempt. One of the stated goals, on the page you linked, is "Replace Lithuanian parish schools with Russian grammar schools". Up to that point, Lithuanian had not been written in the Cyrillic alphabet. Polish language was widely used, and its use of Latin alphabet had a huge inspiration on Lithuanian orthography.

To make my point stronger: I would call it a book ban, if English language books were illegal to write in the Latin alphabet, and only allowed in the Cyrillic alphabet. This would be consistent with the situation of Lithuanian language book ban (except it would not replace kindergarten and lower grades with Russian grammar schools).

Calling it a lie seems at the very least ignorant of the actual situation, or worse, willful twisting of history. If the former, I invite you to read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuanian_book_smugglers to find out on which day they are celebrated!
DOTA was based on a Starcraft Brood War map :)

But MP3 tags don't attempt to store a universally unique song identifier.

They live in situ with the file, and multiple encodings of the same canonical "song" may not be identical.
The mixing of finances can be traced back to coverture where the wife lost legal personhood upon marriage. In that case the wife was not able to own property in her own name.

This doctrine developed into the various marital property laws we have today. Of course the wife no longer loses legal personhood, but the married couple itself still retains a kind of legal personhood, a couple can own property jointly, and when the marriage is dissolved the marital property needs to be redistributed back to the “shareholders” by a court.

At the same time, another change was happening: the cultural acceptance of divorce. While not so long ago, divorce was unthinkable for most, in modern times it’s completely normal.

So the law of marital property has developed based upon a model of lifelong marriage, whereas culture has embraced divorce and remarriage.

There is another culture that has a cultural acceptance of divorce and that’s the Arabs. But because they developed their marital property law afterwards, with the prospect of divorce and remarriage built in, it turned out in a completely different way. Instead of viewing the married couple as a single legal person (i.e. marriage as a corporation), they viewed the couple as individuals with a contractural arrangement, forbidden to interfere with each other’s property.

I want to learn more about next steps, such as virtual memory. Should Ch 8 of K&R be the next step? I started reading the chapter and I think the whole chapter is about UNIX system calls.
My view is that this is entirely predictable: Once you start tying feedback to compensation outcomes, then it’s only the truly privileged who can afford to give that frank and critical feedback. Everyone else goes into survival mode and figures out how to game the system, because the stakes are too high. Survival at any cost is baked into our DNA.

It’s a bit dishonest, but also impossible to prove since feedback is completely subjective.
That is more or less what I landed on myself. (Not quite, but similar reactive configs based on traffic thresholds).

For a while, we had to just set off pagers when global traffic exceeded a threshold and manually toggle the extra hardening, but eventually it became a lot more reactive.
I think the unrestricted model probably can. You'd need an environment for GPT4 to test the code so that it can make changes.
Congratulations on releasing it.

Looking forward to read it during Summer time.
Yeah but we are not discussing if it should be legal to offer gambling games but if casinos deserve protection from people trying to abuse the offered deal.

I think offering gambling games as a business should be illegal but as long as it's legal the casinos deserve the same protection from people trying to abuse contracts as everyone else.

‘They’re afraid their AIs will come for them’: Doug Rushkoff
The other response, from kibwen acting with the moderator badging enabled, is more nuanced:

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/13tsmht/jt_why_i_left...

Do read the full thing, but it roughly boils down to "If it happens at a time/on a day of the week when we have more moderator bandwidth available, we will make use of it to be more lenient. In the worst case it escalates to targeted harassment, and I promised myself to never let another 'Actix developer harassed into hiding' incident happen. Was it heavy-handed? Yes, and I wouldn't do it lightly. Also, I expect that anyone who really wants to know what was deleted can go to Reddit mirror/archive sites and the case you're referring to was the first time I had to act since Reddit surprised them by shutting down API access for the Pushshift service they relied on."
What I see there is that SiFive is, at the very least, five years behind the mid range of ARM CPUs, not only in performance, but also regarding the toolchain.

At a similar cost, what’s the real advantage of migrating the current catalog of wearables or IoT products, to RISC-V? There’s a proven and tested platform, widely used in the industry, and the alternative is still trying to catch up.
I have no idea where you got that price. Licenses are 99$ per site.

EDIT: they do automatically add VAT based on your location so maybe that’s completely broken for you? Only thing I can think of.
What’s the practical difference though?

Someone still decides the book is not gonna be there, mostly for ideological reasons.

I guess if you agree with those reasons, it’s “curation”, if you don’t, it’s “banning”.
Right now most early examples alas boot a container with a wasm runtime for each wasm instance, which is a sad waste. The whole advantage of wasm should be very lightweight low overhead wasm runtime instances atop a common wasm process. Having a process or container for each instance loses a ton of the benefit, makes it not much better than a regular container.

Thankfully there is work like the Containerd Sandbox API which enables new architectures like this. https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/4131

It's still being used to spawn a wasm processes per instance for now, but container runtime project Kuasar is already using the Sandbox API to save significant resources, and has already chimed in in comments on HN to express a desire to have shared-process/multi-wasm-instamxe runtimes, which could indeed allow sub ms spawning that could enable instance per request architectures. https://github.com/kuasar-io/kuasar
No, but if a library worker decides to put pornographic books on children's shelves you can't force them to remove it.

So instead, what, you want people to buy BTC and send small amounts of it to websites?

Problem is, given varying income levels across society and across the world, one person's expensive micropayment is another person's almost free micropayment.
I know 0 people personally who had issues over money, but I don’t live in the US. The divorces in my circles fight (but not even in court) over the kids. And most of my friends are married without a prenup. Some divorced: no problems about money. Nothing formal needed. I am not going to make some explicit consensus arrangement with my wife; if I felt that was needed, we wouldn’t be together.
The cloud represents the return to timesharing development environments.

It turns out that having development environments only accessible via telnet and X Windows is great from IT management point of view.
Its kind of hilarious to picture what a new born baby taking in the amount of water a 200 lb man would in a day.

And of course "overexposed" is exactly the dose that fits their narrative.

I'm suspect they'd also have an opinion about not showering as much to not absorb the flouride through their skin.
Isn’t RISC-V still trying to catch up to A55, which is a 10 year old architecture?
Why don’t they allow narrow banks? Isn’t it something about decreasing the power of the federal reserve to fight inflation?
Can't you do a similar heuristic with view compared to likes?
I recently looked up one of these books that was on the "banned" list. Someone had scanned it in on archive.org. I just checked, and it was either the #1 banned book on most lists, or made the top 10. Gender Queer by Kobabe.

You can see it for yourself.

https://archive.org/details/gender-queer-a-memoir-by-maia-ko...

This is apparently what it would be censorship to keep out of gradeschool libraries. If you're ok with the book, then I guess there's not much more to talk about. If you're now not ok with the book, then I guess this is the first time you actually saw inside of it.

We're told that there is a difference between doctrine and curation, and maybe in some theoretical world this is true. But in the world we actually live in, doctrine's already being pushed... they're just pretending that they're "merely curating". And they're demanding that the other side not be allowed any oversight on that curation. When they curate, good, when anyone else does it, well... they're the "bad guys".

Personally, I could not care less. If you want this book in schools, it does not affect me. But you should know what book it is we're talking about. Take a look, click the link.
I use Gemini with Lagrange, a Gemini GUI browser, as often as I use a normal web browser or RSS reader to read content. But I enjoy it much more. I'm a less-is-more-person, so it's a good fit for me.
Not trusting someone with a regular laptop is common practice in enterprise consulting.

Either a VM accessible via citrix, RDP, X Windows, Bastille,.... or a throw away laptop locked down to the project.
Nonsense. Curation is not purely logistical. It requires some judgment to select which books they believe are good and appropriate for their audience. Otherwise you wouldn’t need a librarian at all, just a random number generator to randomly select however many books will fit in the library out of all the books available.

Obviously they pick some books and not others for some reasons. If you like their reasons you call it curation, if you don’t like their reasons you call it banning.
How could they not have rate limiting?
Remember how easy and fun it was trying to find a PS5 or high-spec GPU card at MSRP in 2020 and 2021? Well you can have the same experience trying to buy a Raspberry Pi in 2023!
Archive.org is a bit of a special case, you need to call them repeatedly to archive a website. They do have a rate limit there, it's pretty aggressive* to the point you could trip it by manually using the site. They must have forgotten to limit the OCR files download.

* If they had a better API (a simple non-synchronous API would be enough, one where we could send a list of URLs would be even better), one could have made a lot less calls.
Thats a very HN opinion. Sometimes people pick careers for factors other than how interesting they are.
Nah, it's 10K items spread over 45 files, 7.5M in total, and the blog engine generates monthly pages etc. Note that I've not bothered with any optimization, I re-render all content after adding one new item.

But I agree MD isn't a good interchange format.
Ask HN: How to Do ML Research?
For the researchers out there, how do you do research?

Background:

I've been looking at how to create a recurrent seq-to-seq model, that's not transformers. The ideas I implement do not work. It seems like off the well trodden path, there are traps everywhere - how should I tune parameters, add biases, normalize, is this dataset impossible, gradient explosion and vanishing, etc.

From a "research = gradient descent" point of view, I'm stuck at a point with no gradient - I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, or what to will get a better result. Am I missing a workflow. intuition, or tools, or other things?
I see a lot of flagged comments of people claiming that "degenerate books" were pushed on people.

Is that really a thing? Is it more than isolated incidents? From my information bubble, those claims seem so foreign to me.

Can someone give me multiple examples with:
1) name of the book
2) problematic example in the book
3) the age of people to which the book was accessible
@media (max-width: 479.98px)

This would be more accurately expressed with negation (though the difference will probably never matter to even a single human):

@media not all and (min-width: 480px)

This is using widest-compatible syntax, since WebKit only very recently (Safari 16.4) got the Media Queries Level 4 stuff to let you write it in clearer ways. The “not” applies to the remainder of the query: parse it as “not (all and (min-width: 480px))” rather than “(not all) and (min-width: 480px)” which would never match.

(As far as I can tell, compatibility charts don’t show this Level 4 query syntax boolean logic stuff at all. Anyone want to do me a favour and file MDN data bug about it? If you do, mention it because otherwise I might finally get round to reporting it later.)

I recently fought and won 429... On a website ran by the very company I work for. They use a vendor for certain services, and such vendor sells a (terrible) API access for bulk operations, so I whipped out Selenium instead; which meant I, the site "admin", was being throttled with 429. A few pauses here and there, and all was well.
One interesting thing that this applies to is brute forcing ciphers. Using this you can calculate how many times over oceans _have to_ be boiled before someone can brute force your encryption key.

The App Tracking Transparency Recession
Well, their ecosystems are getting wrecked and we don’t seem to be able to stop it collectively. So, maybe if a scientist was able to cognitively enhance a few marine creatures, then perhaps they could better adapt and/or advocate for themselves. A cute little octopus directly pleading for its ecosystem on TikTok might accomplish more than a UN report. Why not?
I have five kids. Had three of them by 25 and my wife was stay at home. We didn't originally have the means to support them. Between grinding it out, tightening belts, and earning more over time you figure it out.

My oldest can remember scraping by but my youngest will only know being rich by most people's standards. I'm the oldest from a big family, so is my wife. A bunch of our friends are as well and from what I can tell it's more common than not for the older siblings to remember harder times than the younger ones.

It's not like you have to be set in life or comfortable to have kids. I honestly wouldn't be as successful without them. Having kids and struggling to making ends meet really lights an fire under your ass.
I just wonder, is archive.org getting any government grant money? If they aren't they should. And I'm not even talking about just the US. All sorts of countries (US, UK, Germany - to name the few) and international organisations like EU pour hundreds of millions into "cultural projects" of very questionable value.

How about they actually fund something really worthy of preservation? Of course it is archive.org role to reach out first. For example EU could fund an archive.org mirror in the EU (with certain throughout etc).

Of course opponents of public/government funding have a very good point in that many organisations when they get public money, they find a way to burn through all of it in a lot less efficient way. This can be mitigated by attaching concrete conditions to the grants. One example is a mirror in a specific location.
No, fluoride must not be added to any food or beverage, because it provides no benefits whatsoever when ingested.

Fluoride is beneficial only when applied externally on the dental enamel, so that the fluoride ions will passively substitute the hydroxide ions. There is no known biological process that uses actively fluoride in the human body and excessive ingested fluoride has bad effects, e.g. bone damage.

Therefore fluoride must be added only to tooth paste and mouth washes, which provides all the benefits and none of the risks.

Intentionally ingesting fluoride is incredibly stupid and it is beyond my power of understanding how this could be mandated by law in USA and in some other countries which imitated USA irrationally.
Please let me try to understand you.

The nonblocking read just failed. The task initiates IO then because the IO is async it lets other tasks run while waiting for data. Later, when the IO finished, the task can read the memory.

Is this what you mean?

I think there must be a data race somewhere or io_uring would be superfluous. Everything consisting of at least two interruptible steps at the lowest level in the CPU but where people expect no change in state is subject to some data race. It's really difficult to get this 100% correct. Something works fine for 99.99% of the time. Such a situation can be very nasty to get it right.

Perhaps the step "Later, when the IO finished, the task can read the memory" cannot be done atomically.

Probably they aren't making much money on them.
People removing standardized exams in favor of “holistic” measures in the name of equality are wolves in sheep clothing…they end up widening inequality because those subjective measures overwhelmingly favor richer folk. Personally, I think that was their intention since the beginning.

It’s true that standardized exams aren’t a perfect way to measure abilities, but in a system with tens of thousands of students, it’s the fairest way. Many of these people will voice their support for tax-funded college education (which is good), but they forget how countries where this happens overwhelmingly favor standardized, objective measures…not some “holistic” approach that’s code for “richer people with more interesting experiences”.
Yeah, but hardly companies want to do that for contractors working on delivery, for non software focused industries.

You're right. Who cares if the taxpayers collectively decided that some material was not age-appropriate?

That's the point of using your vote, right? So that some individual employed by the government can't enforce their minority ideology onto the majority population without some sort of blowback.
For this reason I refused dentist shots as a kid. The dentist was wondering how I could handle the pain without anesthesia, but for me the needle was more scary. This led to the most extreme pain I had when she did a root canal and I saw the worm like nerve coming out from my mouth.

Coding is just part of job, just like designing, testing, collaborating with others, writing documents is.
