> I just can't express my architecture in such an abstract form whose logic-level simulations (without considering delays, area, routing, power and clock rate) will give a clear indication of win.

Why not? There are plenty of open source RISC-V soft CPUs available for you to run on the same FPGA to benchmark against. If its the architecture which is special it doesn't matter if it competes against top of the line chips, just that it beats out everything comparable. You don't need to prove that your design will beat out a similarly designed chip on advanced silicon, just that your design implemented in the slow FPGA is better at something (not necessarily everything) than a CPU trying to emulate the same behavior.
Having the PDKs won't help you much either, since on top of that it will take hundreds of thousands of dollars (minimum) in software costs and teams of people to help fine-tune and simulate such a large design. Doing this without the intention to eventually tape-out that design is a massive waste of resources.

I understand where you're coming from but the point of getting access to those PDKs isn't for rapid prototyping. The value proposition of your design must already be clear before beginning to design for a specific process. If you can't prove that your design has significant advantages that no chip in the next few years can possibly compete with, then there's just no point in attempting to design, synthesize, and simulate it on advanced nodes. That process is a significant investment in itself and if you're unsure enough about the potential benefits that you need to know exactly what it would look like in reality, then it's just too risky to spend the years it will take to get a working chip which may already be outclassed by the time your first chips come off of the line.

> Sure, but I specifically want to research the optimal intermediate point between classical CPU architectures and classical FPGA architectures.

That sounds cool, but this makes it sound like you're a really long way off from considering the specific characteristics of a given process node. Focus on designing an architecture which does something better than current designs can possibly do, such that the value of implementing it in a chip will be unquestionable.
I don't know, considering that the only reason you can't compile an application targetting MacOS from your Linux CI/CD is a license that disallows the use of certain MacOS libraries from being used outside of MacOS - combined with Apple's history of aggressively ring-fencing their users, it's understandable that engineers would feel that it's deliberate.

If you copy those libraries illegally to Linux, you can build for MacOS from Linux - so either Apple feels indifferent towards engineers building for MacOS or they want everyone to buy a Mac and compile release software locally.

What worse is Apple doesn't provide any server-specific hardware/software for automation - so it really does feel like Apple expects people to build release software on MacBook Pros or something.
Money is not the aim of life.
I would rather be poor and healthy as rich and sick. With money you can't buy everything.

So refcounting?
No, you misunderstand, I am very interested in what scientists generally think of sous vide technology, and that's why I asked the question. I'm not the same commenter you had replied to.
I could have definitely used that and I'm surprised I didn't realise it when researching how to include shader code. Luckily my setup required very little work and with my system I could share snippets between GLES and GL.
Audio Recommendation with OpenAI and Pinecone
If it was trained on CS textbooks, they weren't very good ones. I asked it (GPT4) to write a quantum computer algorithm to square a number. It very confidently told me that to simplify the problem it would use two bits. Okay, fine. But then the algorithm it (again confidently) implemented did a left shift (which it reminded me was multiplying by 2, so it definitely intended this!) and then add the number to itself. It then wrote that in terms of QC gates. Tada! It took me a half beat to realize that rather than this being some new version of squaring a number that I somehow wasn't aware of, it's completely wrong. It only works on 00! Confronted, of course it did the usual "So sorry... I guess I don't know how to do this." dance. I don't get why anyone thinks that this thing is worth anything at all, except for cheating on creative writing tests.
In the past, I have worked out monthly and annual budgets using LibreOffice Calc. I even had it do some nifty pie charts for visual aids. All I really wanted to do was nail down how much my monthly spend is, in terms of necessary bills, occasional expenses, and then see how much cash is left over per day/week/month.

Last year, I got in touch with the City's public service, where they have debt counselors and financial experts who help people get control of their finances. And I sat down for a couple unproductive sessions where I recited my budget items from memory, the guy plugged the numbers into a spreadsheet, and then I compared it to bank statements. They were unproductive because there was no possibility of information sharing between me and his office. We couldn't even match our calendars for an appointment, or transfer a simple file.

Another resource that has helped is a 2" binder full of consumer finance information, published by the US Federal Government. I think it's the CFPB: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ and I'm sure there are online resources now to match. They can really help you with solid facts and education about basic financial literacy and getting out of debt.

I also signed up to Mint a few years ago, after a recommendation by a friend. I found Mint to be no more helpful than when I started. Also, it was spamming me with special offers, which is how they monetize the free service, of course. I canceled Mint and I also shut down my whole Intuit account. I use H&R Block's software now, for tax preparation.

So these days, in terms of managing my finances day-to-day, I use little else besides my two online banking apps. And, I'm happy to say that their limited automation features have finally come together for me. I've got a flow going where all my bills will be paid, necessary transfers and credit card payments go through, and of course, all deposits are direct and electronic. So barring something unexpected, all my bills should be paid without intervention, even if I were to be incarcerated or go to the hospital, or be incapacitated in some way.

My bank apps are still inept at categorizing things. I mean, like, if I buy a Subway Sandwich, it might get categorized as Public Transit! So I still don't rely on that stuff for figuring out how my expenses are distributed, but thankfully I don't really need to know, and my discretionary/entertainment expenses are minimal already.

I'd still really like a master budgeting app that's capable of ingesting machine-readable files from both of my banks, and visualizing stuff on a monthly/annual basis, with colors and stuff. I suppose I could whip something up with Google Sheets. I don't own any other spreadsheet application anyway.
I did exactly the same for our local-cloud products.

Our local-cloud program connects to our "certificate server", and asks for a name/ip combination.

Our certificate server gets it using API access to our "local-cloud" domain. The local machine receives it.

So the end user does not have the Domain credentials. They have credentials to our cert server, but those have very limited value (and would need to be decrypted first.)
Perfectly good M1 MacBooks are being scrapped because of Activation Lock [video]
Really, this is disgraceful and it's unacceptable that Apple hasn't come up with a work around...
Just as millions of iPhones and iPads have been scrapped due to Activation lock, we are now seeing 2018+ MacBooks scrapped at recyclers as well, due to the "feature" being enabled on those devices.

There might be something to that. Russia has become a bad place to invest money, while china’s real estate bubble looks to finally be popping. It could be that Russians and Chinese are accelerating on capital flight from their own countries due to current circumstances.

But it’s really just speculation. I haven’t noticed an influx of ore Chinese buyers into my market.
m1 Mac:mini is about $400 used (sold by vain people). If you are worried it will come with pet hair stuck in the fan blades, pay an extra $100 to buy from a reputable reseller. If you are constrained to software or work in a chair meant for eating or sun bathing, another option is Mac Orka/Anka.
Awesome!! Yah mine is structured reasonably well into different clients and projects, notes on different tools, cookbooks (both code and food), etc.

Even if I just go with Sam Altman's public comment, I would have came to similar conclusion: GPT-4 is big and it is hard to make it is faster.

The secret sauce and moat lies in data though. I have heard rumour that they have paid competitive coders to write and annotate code with information like complexity for them.

> There is no such phase detector or ADC on this PCB, so it’s a good guess to assume that the TM4313 uses frequency locked loop.

They almost certainly implemented a digital PLL in the micro that compares the 10 MHz clock signal to the 1 PPS output of the GNSS module. Using a frequency lock would lead to a residual drift with respect to the GNSS time scale.
Why the vitriol towards OpenAI?

If Elon hadn't pulled the rug out from under them after they refused his forceful takeover*, they wouldn't have had to go to Microsoft and they'd still be open.

They have to provide it as part of the chain of certificates that an acme client receives. So one more cert in every response.
I can't tell you how many times I've 1. tapped on the I-beam wanting to copy or paste some text, 2. waited... waited... for the “paste, copy, select all” menu to come up, 3. gave up waiting assuming I did something wrong, 4. went to re-tap the I-beam but as I did the menu finally appeared, BUT my tap dismissed it. Now I don't know--do I wait and tap again? How long should I wait? How long after I tap will I know if it was successful? Just a totally bonkers and frustrating experience, to do something that should not be complicated.

This happens a lot on mobile and especially on the web. You tap or click on something, and there is no immediate feedback about whether or not that action did or will do anything. The computer churns for an indeterminate number of seconds, and then you finally get the UX feedback--or you don't. Awful.
That's cool! I recently had GPT-4 write me a HAMT in C++, and it somewhat works, a lot of the basics are there. I ran out of time but am planning on fixing it up with instruct. It missed a lot of stuff and its tests run but they aren't very good.
I don’t think your math is right. I’m living well within means. I don’t have any debt either.

Ask HN: What was your best/worst eng onboarding experience?
I'm getting ready to some new engineers to my team, and am trying to improve our onboarding process. I've read a few blog posts but would love to hear from some first hand experiences too.

If you think about your best/worst engineering onboarding experiences, what made the experience good/bad?
If I understand you correctly, Ive long thought about this as well!

Note you should clarify that by "slowing of light" you mean a lowering value of the absolute speed of light.

While Einstein assumed it was constant, yet said speed and time we're changing. It's actually simpler to say the opposite; speed and time change because speed of light (c) changes .
I remember having to get a µ that way using FrameMaker on SunOS 4 in the mid-90s.

Mac had a µ from the beginning. And some PC code pages did. But PCs in Canada (where I'm from) used code page 850, which had an Á (for French) where µ would be. Just the sort of thing that would hose you if you tried printing a Mac document on a school printer.

The 5% of problem Android devices on the Internet are not manfactured or imported in the US. So the US law sounds great, but isn't solving a problem.

As a senior engineer / tech lead / whatever, I have to work with product people and think heavily in the product's terms. I have to imitate various user personas, their needs, their perspectives.

If I'm trying to think on a a user's behalf, and the question "what the user might want from the service to further their best interest?" for me has answers like "discontinue immediately and uninstall the app", I can't work on making new features and improving user retention. I'm not psychopathic enough.

> space between believing in something and despising that thing.

Correct. It's the spectrum between wasting time because the business will never work, and actively and consciously helping people do things that I would rather help them stop doing. None of this spectrum is interesting to me to work on, except maybe if that were the only way to secure my family's physical survival. I try to strategically stay far from circumstances like those.

It's not the technology, of course. I have interviewed with a company that used a blockchain to track something like carbon credits and trees planted. Most web3 companies try to peddle tokens though.

> nervous about touching water when trying to swim for the first time is healthy and rational

I agree about the first time, and maybe the N-th time, until you're comfortable in it. But your goal has to be to get comfortable in water, and to master the almost-submerged motion that is swimming. If you plan to swim in the long term while avoiding contact with water and staying on the shore, it's likely unrealistic.

My voip provider disables international calling by default, and if you want to enable it, you've got to jump through some hoops. International calling can get very expensive, very quickly. A huge portion of the US population is highly unlikely to make any international calls, so disable for everyone, and opt-in for people who actually use it, is not a bad stance to take.

Many fraudsters are able to get a revenue share of inbound international calls, and then encourage victims to call them through a variety of means. It's a lot easier for Telco to disable those calls in advance than to clawback the toll charges they'd need to pay the international telco.

Not an expert by any means, however I wonder if there's a sliding tail of tokens it uses to form its next words. For example, suppose it uses the last X tokens to formulate the next word. After a while, all of the previous X tokens are repeated "apologize" tokens, and it loses the plot.

You can observe similarly unusual behavior by copying the repeated "apologize" string into a new chat, although responses are much more concise.

I understand GPT4 accepts a much larger number of input tokens, if you have access, what happens if you ask for way more repetitions?

It's several reasons, first it's the lies and the abuse of a charity, that wouldn't be an issue if they had began as a private company instead of robbing a charity.

But secondly, even if they were a private company, it's dishonest and reprehensible to claim to congress that you want to "protect the public" when you really only give a shit about protecting your moat, I'm not happy about that either.

I'm also tired of tech oligarchs general tomfuckery in all our daily lives, as I suspect many more people here are. OpenAI is just particularly egregious about it.

I also think it's my civic duty to let other developers know that OpenAI does not have, by any stretch of the imagination, a stranglehold on this technology or any secret sauce. That's why they're lying and sweating in front of congress.

In a word, no.

Apple has kicked errbody out of kernel space over security concerns, so even companies with 25 years of experience writing network virtualization kernel extensions must now instead use Apple's vastly inferior macOS facility that can reduce performance by as much as 80%.
I actually added a DVI (TeX) renderer to Mosaic in 1993 (while working at US CS&E). NCSA/Marc wasn't interested in the patch. If the server said the document was MIME typed <the correct type for DVI>, the regular page renderer was bypassed and code that I ripped from ... not sure where ... drew into the browser instead.

That’s not the impression i notice, so far, with respect to agenda biases but it’s clear that the overtly biased sites do pick up and seemingly bias content from apnews and reuters.
