In this case you win it when you check enough digits of pi that, if pi were normal, the expected probability of finding your string. Probably not gonna happen, but if you ever do hit me up! If you do that work I'll have the opportunity to win lots of smaller bets

I've made > 100 pre-seed investments and the #1 cause failure in the first 3 years is founders quitting because of unresolved cofounder conflict. The first time I saw an obviously valuable, fast-growing company blown up because the founders couldn't agree on a $5000 travel expense I was astounded. Now it's something I've grown to expect - just one more risk to be managed.

To try and mitigate this my #1 question each time I meet with the founders I invest in is "how's your relationship with your cofounder(s) going?". If the answer to this question is anything less "fantastic!" we have a long conversation about why, before we talk about anything else.

A low cadence of communication between founders is also correlated with higher failure rates, so another fun question is "when was the last time you spoke with your cofounder?". Again I've stopped being surprised by the amount of founders that answer with "last week/month", which again needs to spark a conversation about why.
Most tech tutorials are terrible. It's some junior engineer who has no idea what they're doing and barely got something to function. It's the blind teaching the blind.

It's complicated to be sure.

Accepting all that you quoted to be true it still leaves hanging the question of what right do Seward County police have to do anything about any of that.

Marijuana is legal in Colorado, there was none in the car (was there?) despite what the alledged dog sniff indicated, and while pictures of drugs and begging requests from others to "get some while you're there" are indicators of potential future crimes .. they are not crimes in and of themselves (to the best of my knowledge of US law (I'm in Australia)).

I uderstand the suspicion but I'm honestly not seeing an actual crime.
> I still don't entirely understand how HDMI/CEC knows what my monitor is. It feels like the monitor is powered off, does the chipset respond to the voltage sent "up" the HDMI lead?

Yes. The HDMI source provides 5V over pin 18.

> Checking overflow for addition on the other hand is something that is very seldom used (on any CPU).

I believe you are wrong. Almost every addition used in software should be a proper addition, not addition module 2^32 or 2^64. For example, if you want to calculate total for customer's order, you want proper addition, not a remainder after division by 2^32. Or if you are calculating a number of visitors of a website, again, you need the correct number.

Addition modulo N is used only in niche cases like cryptography.

In my opinion, it is wrapping addition which is seldomly used. I can't remember last time when I needed it. So it is surprising that RISC-V makes rarely used operation take less instructions than more popular one.

You might argue, that some poorly designed ancient languages have '+' operator to perform wrapping addition, however that is only because they are poorly designed, not because users want such method of addition. For comparison, a properly designed language, Swift has non-wrapping addition.
I have zero desire to ever have to live in fear of getting lost again, or buy something that is crappy because it looks ok in the store, or have to use a dedicated MP3 player, or not have a camera with me all the time..

But I remember a lot of pretty amazing things in the pre-smartphone era, even computer related things. People would camp out on launch day for consoles and do LAN parties, now, nobody seems excited enough for that. Gaming culture is more about... talking shit on the chats. I mean it was always about that but it used to be a lot more.

But getting rid of phones wouldn't be enough to bring back everything we lost. We are on our phones because the present moment is no longer somewhere we want to be, and we don't change that because either we don't currently have the ability to, or because the phones mean we don't really have to, the same as some people who get really into weed can accept a fairly empty life and never get bored.

They're kind of experience machines in real life, but they're not really pleasurable enough to recognize as such. I think we should start with the "What do we want to do instead of use phones" part rather than getting rid of some fairly useful devices.

I do kind of want to kill endless scrolling+dynamic recommendations, with a comically excessive amount of fire.

And I think tabletop gaming is mostly best left tech-free unless the setting itself is scifi, which is part of why I prefer lighter systems that are more story focused and don't make people feel the need for an app.

Yikes, I’m old. There was a lot of NN work and a lot of books available on NN’s back in the mid and late 90’s. ‘Soft computing’ was the all-encompassing term for NN, genetic algorithms, AI, expert systems, fuzzy logic, ALife and all sorts of nascent computational areas back then. I still have a bunch of issues to the monthly AI Expert magazine one could buy at a decent magazine stand. Small data-sets were definitely a limiting factor as well as limited computer power. I remember certain applied fields did embrace NN’s early on, like some civil engineers and hydrologists, who were finding some use for them. At the U of Toronto, I considered doing a PhD with a biologist who was using them to investigate vision (and got help from Hinton). Physiology was one area where you could generate “long” time-series in a relatively short period of time. Those were still the days when Intel 286/386/486 and lowly Pentium machines were still common currency. Computer scientists at the time didn’t yet have clear break-through commercial applications which would have attracted crazy funding. A lot of theory, little real actions.

I'm grateful that I experienced "cofounder mismatch" at a young age (23) and when the stakes were small. Basically, building an app with two friends when one wasn't committed at all, and the other was about half as committed as I was. Ended exactly how you'd expect (though thankfully, we're all still friends).

This is the chief reason why I'm the sole founder of my current venture. I'm not militant about avoiding cofounders (and I have actually scouted), but it would have to be a unicorn who is exceptionally good at the exact things that I'm bad at. Even then, I'd only do it after dipping my toe in over a number of months with smaller projects to gauge their personality and level of commitment.

Yeah, so the tricky thing here is, I probably agree completely with the prevailing sentiment about civil asset forfeiture, but I'm picky about journalism; the more solid the underlying story is, the less acceptable it should be for them to put their thumbs on the scale. There are truly awful asset forfeiture cases, where there is no connection whatsoever to any kind of crime. This doesn't look like one of those. And: fine! It's still not OK! But that's not the framing the article uses.
Reading through the twitter thread, and these comments. It reminds me of all of the back and forth when HN discusses Psychology.

iFood is a toxic partner that takes +30% of your ticket and keep all the restaurant's data. They threat bigger restaurants differently and the small ones are just thrown away.

There's no way for the restaurant owner to control their vouchers/coupons/etc because it's all set by iFood, so you'll never know what coupon is working better for different types of customer.

This industry is extremely predatory, a real horror. I just wish the worst for companies like iFood.

I wouldn't say that any of those are bullshit per se.

> ensuring that the industry is fair and founded on merit so that if a company fires someone, that the industry will quickly re-absorb them and make use of them.

Surely there exist people who are close to (or exactly) entirely incompetent at programming. Fair and founded on merit means that such employees should not be quickly re-absorbed into new positions in the industry. Sure, the competent should be able to be hired reasonably quickly after a financially-driven layoff, but a firing for terrible performance or lack of competence isn't something that is easily wiped away at the next interview.

> Compilers emit lea on x86-64 these days to save ports and you think they’ll use your faulting add that takes an extra cycle? Definitely not.

"Faulting" addition should be as fast as wrapping addition and take a single instruction. Yes, I want hardware-accelerated overflow checking because it leads to more accurate results and prevents security vulnerabilities.

By the way, I want FPU operations to cause traps too (when getting infinity or NaN).

> The author tries to rationalize eugenics ("strong genetic basis" for things that have been proven precisely the opposite), and repeatedly attempts to put words and intent in others' mouths.

The irony of this statement is that whether the full sentence, "Traits like intelligence and work ethic, in fact all traits, indeed have a strong genetic basis," is advocating for eugenics can be interpreted as an attempt to "put words and intent" into someone else's mouth.

Accounts generally have a daily withdrawal limit at ATMs. If you're traveling with $18,000 in cash, that's probably well above what you can withdraw from an ATM in a day. I think a lot of accounts have ATM limits of $300-1,000 per day. I'm sure there are ones that are higher and I think a lot of banks let you request a higher limit, but I think it's probably more than just a paper trail.

Personally, I'd never travel with that much cash, but I could see withdrawing that amount of cash having potential road blocks if your bank doesn't exist in the state you're traveling to.

what was the case against airpods exactly? Wireless earbuds always seemed like a no brainer to me, used them ever since they became available, never touched airpods specifically tho.

as for apple vision ar is the future no doubt, that seems obvious like wireless earbuds did. Vision pro tho imo is a devkit, but the fans will buy in anyway id guess. wait till they release a more consumer focused model and then itll be more obvious AR is working out.
The room you're in has no bearing on headphones, except perhaps for the background noise.

Having a wonky head, however, may affect the seal of the pads against your head, or the headphones may clamp too much or not enough, or the cups might be oddly angled, all of which may affect the sound somewhat.

Same with ear shape versus driver placement. If you have shallow or deep pinnae, that may make a difference depending on the relative location of the driver.

Almost all spatial audio is built around a head related transfer function, which attempts to model all sorts of things, like how much sound reflects off your shoulders and other such things, although those questions are usually considerations more for DSP than they are for the tuning of the headphones themselves -- in cases like the Airpods Pro & Max, though, those two things may be one and the same.

> Strong memory ordering […]

> But it is a no-go for SMP scalability.

The SPARC architecture introduced the TSO and defaults to the total store order, and SPARC (and later UltraSPARC) systems were one the first successful highly scaleable SMP implementations.

Sun Enterprise 10000 (E10k) servers could be configured with up to 64x CPU's (initially released in 1997), Sun Fire 15K (available in 2002) could support up to 106x CPU's, Sun Fire E25K released in 2004 could support up to 72x dual-core CPU's (144x CPU cores in total).

SPARC survives (albeit not frequently heard about today) as Oracle SPARC T8-4 and M8-8 (8x CPU's, 32x CPU cores each, 256 threads per core) and Fujitsu[0] SPARC M12-2S (32x CPU's, 384 cores on each CPU and 3072 CPU threads).

All of the above is SMP and very many CPU's, CPU cores and CPU threads.

A succeful, scaleable, SMP architecture has to get the cache coherence protocols right irrespective of whether the ISA implements the TSO, is weakly ordered or a hybrid approach.

To ensure the cache coherence in a TSO UltraSPARC SMP architecture, Sun E10k realised a threefold approach: 1) it broadcast cache coherence on a logical bus (as opposed to a physical bus) shaped as a tree where all CPU's were leaves with all links between them being point-to-point, 2) greater coherence request bandwidth could be achieved by using multiple logical buses, whilst still maintaining a total order of coherence requests (the E10k had four logical buses, and coherence requests were address-interleaved across them, and 3) data response messages, which are much larger than request messages, did not require the totally ordered broadcast network required for coherence requests.

The E10k scaled exceptionally well in its SMP setup whilst using the TSO. It was also highly performant in its prime time with the successor Sun Fire family improving even further.

Therefore, the strong memory ordering being a no-go for the SMP scalability statement is bunk.

[0] And Fujitsu has been a well known poster child of making massively scaleable, (Ultra-)SPARC based supercomputing systems for a very long time as well.
