Three ways to beat the performance of C “easily”

- Run on GPU

- Automatic loop parallelisation

- Microbenchmarks where C is slow due to pointer aliasing (this is why Ocaml is faster than C)
>> BTW, labeling them “ex-Cubans” is a good way to piss them off (maybe that is your intention).

It was not. I was not aware that term is offensive. My apologies.

gotta keep it pristine for those lower organisms who will have a better shot at utopia than we ever could.

But seriously, I always see the planet as on a finite timescale anyways with the lifetime of our sun being the limiting factor (which is interesting because it's the sun that gives us all our energy for the most part ignoring nuclear). Once the sun goes kaput that's it, we better be intergalactic by then. So I wonder can we think of perhaps maximizing the number of civilizational hours spent under the sun on Earth. Is that a good framework to go by. Put another way say the sun goes out in the year 10,000, and we are to judge two scenarios

A) humans go extinct in the year 7,500
B) humans go extinct in the year 9,000

All else being equal what scenario would people prefer and why.

> The thing is, it seems to me that many of these books are just extremely information-sparse

I too have most of these books on a shelf. I’ve found most of them can be skimmed and if they have descriptive chapter naming , just skimming the TOC is enough to get the gist. They rarely go into much detail on execution and generally just talk about a couple business cases as examples of the topic in action. But these usually don’t help on your specific business other than making you aware of the topic. If you’re already interested in business and know some of the lingo these are mostly useless. There’s a lot of blogs and content online I’ve read over the years that is significantly more helpful but I could see how given the state of blogs and content how this could be useful for someone young and/or relatively new to business in general.

That sama tweet is very effective, he's known to be the real deal, his startup is known to have external funding and therefore validating, and the humor shows the work environment.

A real equivalent would be a nobody, with no external funding (first external funding of amazon was 1995), promising equity and requiring a move.

Let's say you got an email 2 years ago from someone you've never heard of saying: "Self-funded startup seeks extremely talented developers to work on AI. You must have experience building large and complex, yet easily maintainable systems, and work in 1/3 time that others say is possible. Top-notch communication skills are required. Familiarity with [the technology you'll be building for] would be helpful but is not necessary. Must be willing to move to Seattle."

Not quite as interesting as sam altmans tweet...
In the mean time FLOSS now also encompasses the BSD licenses and we have a much larger percentage of software that is not copy-left.

I see copy-left as a form of hacker activism, and this getting less. I'm quite sure it's not a good thing. FLOSS has been commencialized.

I prefer AGPL for the simple reason big corps avoid it like the plague.
The fun thing about claims about Hacker News opinion is that you can actually fact check it on Algolia. [0]

I can be just as busy at a watercooler away from my screen. That’s not the point. I think that all of the arguments in this conversation, whether they are valid or not, are not at all relevant to the purpose of the conversation.

I have this wild guess that if a significant number of companies cut their leases on all those monstrous office spaces that are kept being built all the time, it could hurt some people with important companies a fucking lot, and the ripple effect could prove to be immense and disastrous.

Spice must flow, and the fact that there are parties interested in those office spaces running and bringing money in has diddly to do with whether there are any actual productivity advantages of bringing the office workers back to the office or not.

For enough dough you can buy enough experts and pundits and other talking heads that will overflow the information space with thinkpieces and analyses that go either way.

Meanwhile, the only actual productivity boost is when you have a private office with a closable door within walking distance from your living place. But it’s not like anybody would give you _that,_ plebeian.
Lots of typos in my text above sorry for that. But an important one, the RIEC is formed WITHOUT a human person as a representation and under Dutch law that means you cannot take the organisation to court. There's jurisprudence established to show this. And because their stated way of working is that they only give advice and their partners carry out actions they push responsibility away. Additionally, their state way of working is that their partners are forbidden to enter any information received by them into their computer systems unless it's it's operationally required to do so. Which is never the case. See what they have done here? They keep information on their computers but the RIEC cannot be taken to court. Any information that comes from the RIEC is not allowed to be stored in the computers of their partners, which can be taken to court.

Apparently, the partners are primarily just given orders to execute, without so much explanation. Need to know basis and all that. Without an explanation as to what the actions are used for the partners will simply get in the habit of executing without asking questions.

So all in any, unlawful and morally bankrupt operations with zero accountability and hundreds of millions of euros of budget. What could possibly go wrong? Basically, the Netherlands is screwed, there's no fixing this. It's not a functioning democratic state of law anymore. Not by a long shot. And the sad thing is that the public (And apparently the press) have not even begun to understand how bad it is yet.

Although not in connection with hacking operations, I was one of the people that was targetting simply by being close to their target. I lived "next door to" someone that was busted by a drug bust in 2005. Then next 10 years I spent more than 30,000 euros in court costs and preventative measures trying to protect myself from the actions of the other neighbor who was being deliberately run by the Dutch government!! And they are completely immune from repercusions I've discovered to my disgust.

The prosecutor that obstructed justice said in a phone call with me the next day. "Even if you complain... what did you possibly hope to achieve by complaining?"

So because I objected to the harrassment that I received by the Dutch government's illegal use of a civilian to harrass an already convicted weed grower I received 10 years+ of criminality carried out against me effectively by the Dutch government by proxy.

But the question is confusion over product in the same product area.

It seems absurd to me that a reasonable person would confuse that dog toy parody with an actual Jack Daniels product.

Also, unanimity per se doesn't necessarily mean the court is on the right side of things: I'm not sure that positions on, say, abortion necessarily translates into trademark positions.

One nuance in this that seems to be lost though if I'm recalling the case correctly is that this isn't deciding the case, it's just saying it can't automatically be dismissed pre trial. So maybe that's where the unanimity comes into play.

Still, between this and the Worhol case I'm concerned. Overall this doesn't seem like a good path to be going down in my personal opinion. To me a dog toy that's clearly a parody should be protected speech, probably more clearly than other things.

It feels to me like there's this emerging zeitgeist of "commercial entities are above real criticism because they might be financially injured" which is absurd, and more than an individual would enjoy in terms of protection.

Let's say you made a Trump brand dog toy? Would it be reasonable to say that is not protected speech because it infringes on his trademark?
Externalising the battery to bring the weight down is to some degree a solution to a problem Apple created by insisting on building the headset out of "premium" metal and glass. They haven't said exactly how heavy it is, but those who got to try it noted that it's pretty heavy even with the battery separated, like the AirPods Max are noticeably heavier than plastic headphones.

I don't believe there's an internal buffer battery either (IIRC it was mentioned on the ATP podcast, who were told by an Apple rep) so you can't hotswap the external pack, as the article suggests you could, without completely rebooting the headset.
This is a poor example of Americans deliberately influencing culture overseas.

On the topic of the historical wise men who are said to have visited Jesus - they came from the east (Asia), not the west (Africa). While it is true that in some parts of Europe one of the wise men has come to be portrayed as black, it's absurd to say that blackface must be applied in order to preserve the authenticity of the portrayal. If historical authenticity was the goal, the entire nativity should be portrayed by people with Middle Eastern features. And if the goal is merely symbolic - a way of showing that Christianity can appeal to people from all over the world - that can easily be communicated through dialog.

Zwarte Piet has a different history and has nothing to do with early Christianity. If anything it has to do with pagan traditions around winter demons that relatively recently morphed into a black sidekick for Sinterklaas, coincidentally exactly around the time that blackface minstrel shows and human zoos were popular.

But I suspect you know this, and are trying to loop in American "culture wars" as a way of not dealing with something that Afro-Europeans find at least racially insensitive if not outright offensive. This, in fact, is exactly how Americans end up getting shoehorned into every topic everywhere in the world, because even when people claim to want to discuss topics in the local context, they tend to spend more time derailing the conversation into some whining about American cultural hegemony instead.

We’re so incomprehensibly blessed to be able to experience this momentary oasis of beauty, but people will ignore it all in favor of mentally fast forwarding themselves into a state of imaginative terror.

That’s not to say disregard the environment entirely, but rather: cherish every moment you have with it, do what you can to help where you can (mainly: dramatically reduce consumption), and encourage others to do the same.

as it turns out there is a lot of optimizations to be had besides feature size shrink. for a long while, both software and hardware were sustaining of the "free lunch" of Moore's law (as coined by Herb Sutter). With that fading away, there has been a lot of progress on the architecture side in the last couple of years, with AMD & Apple entering a previously stale desktop CPU market and mixing it up quite a bit, forcing Intel to also be competitive again. I think it will be quite a while until the train of improvement runs dry even when feature size will be stuck. Think about how inefficient today's software still is when compared to what e.g. the original Mac could do with its limited hardware.
I don’t know where you’re taking “click a link in an email” from, but that’s decidedly not how eIDAS works. The private keys must be hardware-protected and under the sole control of an identified signer, which usually means either a physical token or a 2FA-protected remote key in an HSM. In addition, a prior ID verification procedure like video ID or a face-to-face verification is required.

The Supreme Court made no such ruling. They ruled that the parody should not be considered protected under 1st amendment free speech grounds. They sent it back to the lower courts for a ruling on if it violated copyright under consumer confusion grounds.

I guess it's a design decision, I guess it could have been designed differently, but I'm not really sure. Doing it differently could very well break other things that people do rely on.

Referring to the original variables instead of making copies does save memory though: in your example there were 5 functions that each would have their own copy, instead of only 1 instance shared between them.
Pre-launch is tough.

Code can be imitated but traction is priceless.

15 years ago it seemed a good idea to build a large number of content sites on a range of topics because these would collect "link juice" and you could either link to your own money sites or sell them to somebody else who wants to do the same. Many of the people who were doing SEO back then are doing paid ads now so it is probably not such a great idea.
What an elegant description! I completely agree with you. Back in 2013, I looked at the massive number of financial middlemen on Wall Street and thought Bitcoin (or a future blockchain) could help lubricate the system. It took a few years for me to realize that blockchains are fundamentally flawed and cannot compete at scale with other technologies.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit
Today's subreddit strike showed me just how reliant I've become on reddit including my local subreddits and adding site:reddit.com to all my web searches.

I know about adding noise, but to call that a solution is silly. You’re purposely degrading the image to get around the technical limitations of a 30 year old format.

I disagree about the noise reduction part too. Modern (larger, not sure about cell phone) sensors basically have basically no noise at ISO 64-100 or so. It’s just an inherent limitation of only having 255 steps of brightness.

It's not a particularly popular post and probably fell of the front page after a few hours.

>If you mean the job site, then it should be specified in the title, if you mean HN, then that’s irrelevant.

Of course it's relevant. You haven't really made any arguments. The fact is that a post made in the US' morning, on a US website primarily frequented by US techies is not required to cater to random engineers viewing the page at odd hours of the night across the world. Are you also upset that it's not translated into Bantu? God forbid we exclude Tanzanian developers.
It's built by the idiots sons and daughters of rich people as their "my first job" project. Lots of sectors apparently function like this. Children of the elite can have play jobs, money is distributed to friends and family and everyone suffers.

There were posts on reddit about the most toxic work culture there i remember with drugs and bizarre politics straight out of some san fran sitcom.

And some quite funny posts on just how grotesquely "my first react project" the whole code base was, and still is. These people are absolutely clueless. They nuked the whole "new reddit feedback" forum with posts pointing out just how bad the whole thing was, like pulling tens megabytes of starter boilerplate in production and loops with script loads inside of them that could grind a powerful computer to a halt.

One aspect of the Vision Pro that I think is perhaps not talked about enough (and isn't mentioned in the linked blog post) is the sheer number of apps this thing will be running from day one, and how little it takes to have a first-class visionOS app.

iPad apps will run unmodified as basically virtual floating iPads which is nice, but not anything too special. What's much more interesting is that existing iPadOS apps can be transformed into first-class visionOS apps by just checking the "visionOS" checkbox in Xcode, which gets the app the full 2.5D treatment with all of the various controls taking on the expected visionOS appearance and behavior.

This means that the Vision Pro is probably going to have by far the best selection of day-1 apps that any AR/MR headset has ever had. Most of these apps won't be anything revolutionary of course since they're adapted versions of existing apps, but it makes the platform much more practically usable.
IDK.

I tried to use ChatGPT for the first time over the weekend but I failed to convince it that I was human (a train orientation quiz). I said eff it and figured I'd try Bard. Got right in, no problems (BTW I was logging in with my Google sign-in for both ChatGPT and Bard, go figure)

Anyway, I asked some extremely detailed technical questions over several knowledge domains and was surprised with the comprehensiveness of the responses. I can see this is going to be my go-to for asking questions.

Sometimes though you just want to hang out online with a group of people having the same interests and hobbies as you. Reddit and FB Groups work well enough for that. Neither are perfect but they get the job done.

What's next? You're dealing with people. You should have known it was always going to be messy. Maybe you should reassess how amazing it is we can hang out with people from all over the world having the same passions and interests? I don't call that "fucking up severely" as you say.
On the other hand, Spring is one of those frameworks that you can probably test most of your stuff without those test fixtures and just use the annotated classes as if they are plain classes.

That of course means you're limited to constructor based dependency injection (but most people should be using constructor based dependency injection, right? The @Autowired/@Inject "magic" rarely really helps anyone most of the time) and requires isolating side effects (and therefore those pesky side effect inducing annotations) from the rest of the business logic.

A note from my colleague Han that wrote this article

> I often deploy faasd with NixOS on a Raspberry Pi and to the cloud, so I build binaries for both x86_64 and aarch64. The build usually runs on the default GitHub hosted action runners. Now because GitHub currently doesn't have Arm support, I use QEMU instead which can emulate them. The drawback of this approach is that builds can sometimes be several times slower.
