There are several uarch levels defined for x86_64 which include newer instructions than the baseline. Some distros are starting to move to use those higher levels, notably RHEL9 is x86_64-v2.

Yeah, that's my sense as well.

Speculation was that it might have been anti-bot countermeasures.

I've ... encountered those a few times recently doing my HN front-page research. Though not presenting as latency.
This special creation role has always puzzled me a bit. Why does there need to be a special role with unrevokeable root privileges? I understand that it's useful, but why can't I at some point revoke its privileges when I'm done bootstrapping the cluster? If I do that in such a way that I need AWS support to help me get into a cluster I've locked myself out of, so be it.
I dont think this is ever going to happen. Phones sell because they made computers unintrusive. This tech has some time go until it becomes as simple to wear as sunglasses or even less. IMHO something like a new google glass is more likely to win this space
The history of the world contains few examples of correct guesses about what developments are likely in science by such-and-such a date. On the other hand, there are so many wrong guesses that the correct guesses are effectively drowned out.

It's almost as though there were a butterfly effect going... the world is so rich in new things to discover, and there are so many eager researchers, that a tiny idea could take fire at any moment and completely change the direction of science.
It's not just "possible", it's inevitable.

But querying is rather painful for me.
It requires an additional tool, because I'm not used to the syntax.
It feels very non-intuitive, but I'm rather at the beginning of it, so it's a me thing.

I was thinking why not just pure SQL queries as an alternative?
All it would require is a proper filtering/security middleware.

Trees and crabs and birds appeared very recently in the timeline of life on Earth and will probably get extinct eons before shrimp or tardigrades know what happened.

That's not how it works. With autogen code a small office of devs can build a test rig and run autogen code through it until it passes.

That's no different to what happens - or should happen - now. But with a much, much faster iteration cycle and higher throughput.

At this point GPT doesn't really understand semantics. But it does a fair imitation, and that imitation will improve over time.

There will certainly be a point where it will be writing code that has fewer bugs than human code.

There will be a point after that where it will build the test rig internally.

But I suspect we'll be in a very different place by then, and most of what we consider dev work today will be redundant for structural reasons rather than technical ones.

Generally I think the AI not-so-bad comments are coming from people who haven't really understood what's coming at everyone. AI won't automate coding, it will automate culture - artistic culture, media culture, business culture, political culture, perhaps also many kinds of personal interactions.

It'll be like the web, which automated paperwork, dats gathering, and certain kinds of social interaction, but many orders of magnitude broader and more disruptive.

It's sad that D3DMetal isn't open source. Worth noting that this stuff is exactly why people should strongly consider using a copyleft license. It's pretty annoying that nobody can build on top of Apple's work here or incorporate any improvements into DXVK, but that's the license the DXVK project chose.

Seriously though, I used to think this was mostly a done deal that's being occasionally brought up by people fascinated with socialism or something. But the longer I live, the more I realize that the issue has not meaningfully improved at all - we've only been distracted from it. And it's much, much older than Marx and co. too. This, and not some general fear of technology, was the whole point of the Luddite movement (very relevant in context of AI). And you can probably find examples stretching back way before industrial revolution too.
Three 'e's is not correct. ー is a single mora, so should usually be one vowel. E.g. ラーメン is raamen not raaamen.

ショ is sho (or syo if you use Japan-style romanization) not tsu.

So the proper romanisation is something like 'animeeshon'. That said, romanisation is often done inconsistently, e.g. Osaka vs. oosaka.
Now that you mention it, yes, that seems to fit what I heard - as I stated I have not read the book, just heard him mention it several times in his netcasts. I thought it was the first rule because I distinctly remember the phrase 'first, clean up your damn room'.

They also need to focus more on backwards compatibility. If Apple continually makes most of my library unplayable as they have done repeatedly (Classic, Rosetta 1, 32bit) then I wouldn't trust them with gaming. It seems moving forward PlayStation and Xbox are making it a priority, it already was on PC and I don't think Apple will ever have anything with the draw of Nintendo that could surmount that.
Isn't the whistle blower stuff considerably less interesting than this:

Jonathan Grey is a generational officer of the United States Intelligence Community with a Top-Secret Clearance who currently works for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), where the analysis of UAP has been his focus. Previously he had experience serving Private Aerospace and Department of Defense Special Directive Task Forces.

“The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone,” Grey said. “Retrievals of this kind are not limited to the United States. This is a global phenomenon, and yet a global solution continues to elude us.”

huh? This is a current NASIC officer saying “The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone,” - isn't that in itself extremely weird/surprising?

Ask HN: Code review as part of the peer review process?
Code review helps discover programming errors in software engineering. Would requiring paper author's to submit reproducible, or at least reviewable, code for generating their results have the same effect on academic research?

How much of the 'crisis of reproducibility' is caused by code that wouldn't pass the smell test, let alone a real code review?
> My growing distrust of soft sciences over the past few years means that this article did not move the needle in me to believe Carthage practiced child sacrifice, not one millimeter.

There is a trove of independent historic stories and tales about child sacrifice in Carthage from Plutarch, Plato and even the Bible. In some sense I think it would more obvious than not to assume that child sacrifice did take place.

I think it is very much in the RISC philosophy to have fewer more powerful, but still simple, instructions which can be combined with operands in complex ways to do a lot of different things.

Another example of this are all the combinations with the hard-coded zero register. For instance, the `cmp` "instruction" in A64 (and many other RISC ISAs) is actually an alias to the `subs` (subtract and set status flags) instruction with the zero-register as destination.
The idea of the zero register was so potent that modern CISC x86 processors actually have a physical zero register internally, which olde x86 instructions are translated into using.
Yea no wonder the world is chock full of slow frameworks building on top on unnecessary cruft (ala chrome), and no one seems to understand the underlying tech anymore.

Disgust against child sacrifice and most human sacrifice was a Roman sensibility, long before there was any church or christianity.
No ! Banking is no longer a business where you can fail. Sure, they will make an exception if you are very small or very stupid.

Yes ! The "regulators" keep changing the rules and have an increasingly active role in influencing the market (rather than regulating it). They don't appreciate the effects of their own actions and are driven by lobbying and bank CEOs more than their expertise and models. The complexity of the system will soon grow beyond their ability to "fix". You could also argue that we are already there and the regulators are scared and bluffing.

As John Siracusa discussed on this week's ATP[0], it's incredible how much effort Apple puts into this considering the result. Apple built it's own little parallel gaming stack world that works really well on their hardware and the hardware is also amazing for the power envelopes it is wrapped in.

But then Apple doesn't ship devices with actually powerful GPUs, so it can never compete with the gaming PCs which are far less expensive and far more powerfull graphics-wise. And Apple also doesn't know how to keep relationships with the AAA developers, unlike Microsoft and other platform owners.

Like how does all this Metal, compile-your-shaders, port-your-games stuff even get budgeted, when it's eventually dead on arrival?

I think the on stage demo of the 4 year old Death Stranding running poorly on the newest Macs says it all.

How many of the complainers are actually watching the ads? It's trivial to block ads on YouTube; just install uBO, or use an app like Revanced.
Considering the number of people who died and the number of babies that haven't been born due to the conflict, I'd argue that would have been a counter-argument against engaging into this whole mess. The longer this goes on, the dire the prospects are for the Russian speaking world.
> With a static typed programming language, there's always a cost of compilation time and expected problems with linking libraries.

I have developed tons of applications in both Java and Ruby.

There was never a time when I thought "damn, all those hours I'm wasting due to compilation". Never. With a good IDE compilation happens completely transparent in the background during the development process.

If you really have substantial overhead from compilation another language will not solve your underlying issues.
> I thought it was well accepted

I was in a museum in Sardinia (was part of Carthage) sometime ago and saw some of the tophets mentioned in the article. The argument from the linked article was repeated on one of the info boards - that the Romans demonized their enemies and lots of our sources on alleged child sacrifice come from them. I am not sure about the Carthagenian sources on the matter, but they did not make it into the argument, so I assume the evidence was either slimmer or newer.
I mean, there sure are a lot of mentally unstable people who actively choose to detach from reality. To some, living in a fantasy land is as simple as ignoring the truth around you.

We think we have a pretty good idea about physics - just as cats have a pretty good idea about scratching posts and ants have a pretty good idea about scent trails.

Indian Americans were/are actually exceptional in that they tended to be more likely to be nonchalant about the Hindu-Muslim conflict compared to other Indian diaspora groups - e.g. Canada/Europe/Australia etc... were and are much more Islamophobic than in the US. But it might be symbolic of the lack of Islamophobia in the US combined with the more pro-melting-pot mentality in the US compared to other countries.
I am genuinely impressed by this GitHub Bot and its game-changing capabilities. The ability to create application alerts using plain English descriptions is a remarkable feature that will greatly simplify the monitoring process for developers and DevOps professionals.

Thank you guys!
It’s the world of instant information and social contact that makes phones distracting, not the screen dimensions. Actually I’d say the small screen form factor makes this problem even worse - makes it socially acceptable to be half-present with people, the worst thing. It feels like no big deal to glance at a phone while talking to someone, and feels churlish for the other person to take issue with it.

But if someone didn’t remove their VR headset when getting into a conversation with me IRL… I can’t see that ever becoming commonly accepted. It’s completely different from phones because you wouldn’t even know if and when they are glancing at messages or other content (or even filming you), so there’s just way more social norms for the tech to contend with. With a headset, there is a 100% clear distinction between when you’re using it vs when you’re not, and a distinct act putting it on and taking it off, whereas with phones you can flick a glance at it.

Direct-to-brain AR will be another matter though. Then we will be forced to accept that anyone we are talking to may be secretly engaged with other stuff at the same time.
> It is impossible to understand the biblical narrative of the binding of Isaac

Huh? It is quite easy to understand for me.

Abraham and Sarah were childless and Sarah was infertile/too old DRC. Abraham prayed for an heir and miraculously Sarah gives life to Isaac.

Yahwe demands Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, the most precious "thing" he has, to test his belief.

Since Abraham does as he is told, a angel stops him from killing Isaac in the last second.

Then he is promised by Yahwe his descendants that his descendants will be plentiful.

A myth/fairy tale IMHO but to each the most. Dawkins said that the god from the old testament is one of the most vile characters humans ever made up. To sick/tired to give examples, there are many.
Very strange to see US-style political discourse applied to the ancients. It really is true that as we do one thing we do all things.
can someone explain to me how is 'passkeys' different from "ssh keys" ? isnt every developer used to setting one up with their linux server and using that? can't we just reuse the same on a browser model as opposed to creating a whole new thing?
> Child sacrifice hooks into some very deep and dark aspects of human psychology that we have yet to unpack.

Maybe not. Humans first do something practical, and then use rituals and tradition to justify it.

Here's an alternative scenario:

In an age where abortion had a higher chance of killing the woman than childbirth, this was the only practical abortion.

It's only after the fact that it gets justified as a sacrifice demanded by the gods.

And once the practice is accepted, the next step is to forcefully sacrifice the children of your political enemies, i.e. the woman is not making the choice here.
I'm about 90% sold but I'd love to have someone's experience using it as an emacs terminal for coding.

As long as it doesn't get sweaty or nauseating after 30 minutes, I would still be content with it as a glorified monitor, not needing new UI paradigms or gesture controls.

Distraction-free huge monitor computing anywhere in the world is a huge advantage over laptops imo.
> Phones sell because they made computers unintrusive

Respectfully, how does this make any sense? Didn't mobile phones end up becoming the most intrusive technology on Earth? (I'm not sure what you specifically mean by "intrusive", but I'm assuming that you mean "the extent to which the object interrupts your life/tasks/etc.").

Phones sell because they are:

1. Convenient

2. In most civilizations on Earth, it became a necessary item in order to live (authentication, payments, maps, etc.).

I'll skip the lesser points, such as the fact that they took over the camera for >99% of people for 99% of the time.
AIUI kick is a twitch-like platform with a better revenue split (95:5) and without the whimsical moderation.

Even moderately large vtuber agencies (e.g. vshojo) have constant trouble with Twitch, with their streamers getting arbitrarily banned, sometimes right on their debuts.

With the last batch of changes, it makes sense to go elsewhere. From a business continuity perspective, it is already a no-brainer. Moist is completely on point.

Twitch is way too abusive, and its corporate culture issues seem far too deeply rooted, only getting worse over time.
> What do you mean? What would be the source of the regular wave-like signal

The source of the signal would be a solar system that contains planets in a stable enough orbit to harbor life.

> and why only systems with life have one?

Solar systems that harbor life (our own, for example) are not the only stable solar systems. A stable solar system is however required to be the genesis grounds of life as we understand it, otherwise the building blocks of such potential life would be swallowed in the chaos and heat.
Well you're not a historian right? So you can always opt to have no judgement.

But, in any given field, the job is to sort the probable propositions from the improbable.

The dialectic, the article establishes, amongst historians has been:

Yes, there was sacrifice, the greeks/etc. said so
No, there wasn't, we believe propaganda too readily
Yes, there was, multiple sources (incl. archeology) now corroborate

I agree with your scepticism about the "speculative sciences" insofar as these speculations should determine high-risk policies today. But the job of "scientific history" is to produce better interpretations than those "floating around in popular folk history".

I imagine this counts.

What's the point of censoring only one character from the word "fucking"? Both you and everyone that reads your comment know exactly what you are saying, so it's not like you are shielding anyone from anything. And neither is there anyone who is going to punish you for saying a naughty word on the internet. What are you afraid is going to happen if you write "fucking"?

I genuinely want to know the real answer, because this kind of behaviour confuses me. And every time I ask someone about it they don't answer, or give a non-answer.

If HN blocked comments with certain words, I'd understand.

If you genuinely find fuck an offensive word, and instead chose to use some other word instead, I would understand.

But this makes no sense. Please be so kind as to explain.
For me, hopefully nothing. I did get some value out of reading and participating in discussions there, but I don't think it makes up for all the time spent.
