Blind denial. No argument or evidence presented, merely bold statements made with the expectation they be taken without question.

Flying humans was science fiction 120 years ago. A single bomb able to destroy an entire city was science fiction 80 years ago. A machine that can complete more mathematical calculations in one minute than all human manual computation in history was science fiction 60 years ago. EUV photolithography capable of creating molecule-sized transistors was science fiction 30 years ago. A computer that can create visual art and talk to you in plain English was science fiction 2 years ago. A computer that can clone your voice and mannerisms was science fiction 1 year ago.

Science fiction has a way of becoming non-fiction, often within the span of a generation or less.
I liked it, highly detailed and wanted to try. I created a plan and it showed me that I am going to bankrupt in two years :). Seems like it is not suitable for economically unstable countries like Turkey. Many factors that can affect your financial plan are out of your control here. Inflation is changing every month, nothing can be predictable, salary is draining even if you promoted in your job. You need stronger methods than monte carlo simulations to survive here...
Ohio State University trademarked the "THE" in certain contexts: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ohio-state-university-o...
The article was long so the 65% was the TLDR summary. For people like me with no attention span it was very helpful.
In this case, I'm using Firebase auth and didn't see an auth provider option to allow username only. I think it may let you sign up with a nonexistent email though, so maybe that's close-ish to what you were looking for?
> More registers is about 40 years overdue, but better late than never.

SSE, AMD64, AVX, and AVX-512 say hi.
I agree with the trends, though I'd argue it primarily due to women being more present in the workforce with high-quality jobs. Women have less need to depend on a man, so are able to be more selective up to the point of deciding to remain single vs. pair with someone that doesn't fit for them or just isn't overall a good catch (e.g., not self-aware, not emotionally available, doesn't care for themselves, don't view women as equal in worth to men). Women also delaying decisions to be come a parent - or possibly choosing against entirely - exacerbates the issue to some extent for men in their 20s in particular. Of course it's multifactorial, there is no single explanation.

I do think most incels take the wrong lessons from this and turn relationships into some sort of game, and women are easily-manipulated automatons that respond to muscles, money, and height. But that's really a different conversation.
in the end it will be like any other modern hardware appliance:

the hardware is the same design for cost saving purposes, but different features are unlocked for $$$ by a software license key.

You want AVX-512? pay up and unlock feature in your CPU and you can now use the feature. This could also enable pay-as-you-go license scheme for CPUs, creating recurring revenue for Intel

from the hardware perspective - the same silicon, but different features sold separately

In many cases you have to pay using only the "121 cubic meters and over" rate due to how the places are built.
A culturally relevant favorite of mine:

Thanks! I tried to add mostly the stuff I don't encounter that often in blogs/tutorials etc. But guess you are right. Generators, or at least the 'yield' keyword, is often misunderstood, and we can't emphasize them enough
> This is already largely possible in most states and called "right to try".

The article’s author is convinced it is not covering them. Do you know otherwise? Perhaps you should let them know. You might save a life.

> Choosing patients and then pretending that the data gathered has any reasonable statistical validity when considering general approval of a drug is totally crazy.

Would like to mention that it is your adition that the drug manufacturer chooses the patients. It was not part of my original comment. And it is not core to the idea.

One can simply imagine a protocol where the manufacturer declares their criteria (what condition, what severity[1]) and how many doses they are able to provide and those “places” get filled up with volunteers. And this of course can be made even more buletproof.

1: and before you point it out, of course if the manufacturer is only willing to test their drug on not-so-bad-but-dying people then they get approval to be used on the same selection.
If something works based on .NET IL, then it works equally well for F# as C#. Both are first class languages in .NET. Anything written in one can be used from the other (though it is often very un-idiomatic without a wrapper). Both compilers generate the same IL.
Of course not, but the vulnerability works by exploiting the shared register file so to mitigate this entire class of vulnerabilities, you'd need to dedicate a CPU core and as much of its associated cache as possible to a single VM.

His purchase of Twitter was explicitly to take it private. He would look like a pretty humongous moron to just take it public again. And I seriously doubt Wall St would ever mindless lap up a super app with no users. It makes no sense. It's a ten-year old, mature company that was already public-traded. He can't just take it private, make it a whole new company, rebuild the user base from scratch then expect it to be worth more than he paid. He should have just bootstrapped a new company from zero if that was the intent.
Modern compilers already allow for conditional code execution depending on CPU sets, and at least in what concerns JVM implementations and the CLR, their JITs are clever enough to already use parts of AVX512, while they are not perfect, it is better than not using them at all.

You could say all that, yes. Or you could just look at the immediate facts of the case and determine that Musk is being foolish and making a fool of himself.

Not that he does in all cases. Not even that the X looks bad. But the Twitter bird was both iconic and cheerful, and there was nothing wrong with it. Kicking it to the curb is the action of a foolish fool.
But specifically because of the proprietary compiler? Or is it just calling Fortran / C / C++ libraries that were compiled with their compiler?

AI Will Not Replace You, but You Will Have More Squeezed Out of You
I've veen a bit out of the loop on this area but would like to get back into it given how much has changed in the LLM landscape in the last 1-2 yrs. What models are small enough to play with on Collab? Or am I going to have to spin up my own gpu box on aws to be able to mess around with these models?
I still call the Willis Tower the Sears Tower. And Sears is definitely dead.
See figure 1:

I watch them once to decide if I want to make it.

Once immediately before starting.

Then once-or-twice with a lot of pausing and seeking while cooking.
The time spent handling small coins is actually worth more than the coins themselves. If you value your free time somewhere in the ballpark of $80/hr, then you should spend no more than 2 seconds acquiring, maintaining possession of, and then spending, a nickel. IMO, that makes anything less than a quarter worthless.
Maybe a foldable e-bike would be a good compromise?

> I think we changed our thinking. I think the world has mostly accepted the "good enough" versus "perfect". [...] For example, to win [a famous baguette competition] many spend a lifetime perfecting their craft.

Hasn't it always been that way, though?

Decades or centuries ago we've been doing things (e.g. breadmaking) with fewer resources and worse tools and tighter margins, so "good enough" was probably even more important, rather than less. Great works were often made despite those limits, rather than in concert with them. Surely the techniques and investments used in competition are not the same ones that baker would use to feed a large hungry crowd.

"Perfect" probably only showed up either (A) where that's just the next frontier for a successful professional to stay engaged in their craft or promote their brand and (B) products commissioned by figurative if not literal royalty.
A long impactful career, or a career of horrible frustration and alienation as everyone gets mad at you for pointing out their bugs? (or, from their point of view, making trouble insisting that something is a bug which isn't and is causing no problems)
My first thought when simplicio mentioned trademark was that The Open Group -- which would seem to own the X Window System logo -- might need to try and protect their trademark. If they don't, it's easy to foresee how down the road the similarity could become their problem, not Musk's.

The X.Org Foundation might need to do the same for their X logo even though it's a bit different (and I'm not sure if it's trademarked in the first place).

IANAL, but you do need to defend a trademark in order to maintain it after all.

Of course fighting to protect it would probably be costly and financially risky even if they did have a case.
Yup. It's one of their theoretical advantages that's about to become a lot less theoretical. Historically it hasn't made much difference because optional instructions were hard for JIT compilers for most languages to use (in particular high level JITd languages tend not to support vector instructions very well). But a doubling of registers is the sort of extension that any kind of code can immediately profit from.

Arguably it will be only JITd languages that benefit from this for quite a while. These sorts of fundamental changes are basically a new ISA and the infrastructure isn't really geared up to make doing that easy. Everyone would have to provide two versions of every app and shared library to get the most benefit, maybe even you get combinatorial complexity if people want to upgrade the inter-library calling conventions too. For native AOT compiled code it's going to just be a mess.
Seems like a bug in browsers.
But as OP mentions, the 65% as printed in the title conveyed the false impression that there's been a 65% decline in attention spans, whereas the actual tl;dr should have been this sentence from the end:

> It seems likely to me that individual attention spans have declined (I’d give it ~70%), but I wouldn’t be surprised if the decline was relatively small, noisy & dependent on specific tests.
You might as well write “Not having a keyboard or mouse will be pretty limiting for gaming” fifteen years ago before mobile gaming took off.

Yeah, it will be limiting for the preexisting games built for preexisting VR systems. It will also be perfect for the types of games people envision and build for this generation of device. Not recognizing that seems more like a lack of imagination on your part than a failure of design on Apple’s.
What I'd really like to read is some analysis of whatever makes people care enough to make that...I saw the 𝕏 and literally thought "well, that's an interesting symbol, Elon probably did that, whatever" and went on with my day..
If you recover 90% of text exactly does that mean the "semantic overlap" of the vectors isn't as good as it could be? E.g. semantically identical but textually different words cause more meaningful shifts than would be desired for certain use cases?
Uh, okay. I thought the embargo date was set so you could have enough time to inform the distros. Not the case, then.

I sold the last of my vector games to a friend a couple years ago. I threw in a Major Havoc board for free since he has a similar cabinet to try it in. Then I Googled it and found someone who did a from-scratch cabinet build and could only find a board for... $1200. Ah one man's former hobby is another's treasure!

Ask HN: What books or courses do you know similar to "From Nand to Tetris"?
As Richard Feynman famously said: "What I cannot create, I do not understand." I like to learn things to bare bones. But almost all courses are shallow.

Now I am learning https://www.nand2tetris.org/ and it's fantastic by structure and explanation. In the past, I also completed JS and HTML courses by Anthony Alicea on Udemy. These courses also follow a similar approach to truly understanding how things work under the hood.

What other books/courses could you recommend from any area of programming?
Oh no! I really wish I'd kept my kinect now. But that cupboard space is at a premium :(

(I didn't downvote your comment)

"SHARD" is the name of the software - it was common back then to name systems using acronyms. It's not clear whether the paper/report actually uses the term "shard" in the sense that it is now used in distributed systems, or even whether it uses it at all.
Musk xed [axed] Twitter.

Why and how did people quit using them? Suppose you're in a world where the interstate highway system hasn't been built and subway trains are the dominant mode of transportation, and you would like to stop taking trains to get to places, what do you do? Walk? Bike? Ride a horse? Drive offroad in a car with a manual transmission and no seatbelts or airbags, with no gas stations in between?

Seems like you'd be S.O.L. unless the government kindly free-markets a continent-wide network of paved roads, with conveniently placed roadside stops along the way where they sell gasoline. Can't imagine why they would undertake such an exorbitant public works project when the transcontinental railroad already exists; it's not like the government is disproportionately influenced by any industries that would very obviously materially benefit from such a thing.

The author's use of "kurtotic barbarities" to describe this situation is absolutely my new favorite phrase. English is a beautiful language in which to express frustrations.
Thanks for the link, really interesting!

We have a distributed system (clouds & cars) that message events which need to be processed in order. However, the clock of some system participants (cars) are drifting quite often.
We plan to use a logical clock for the ordering instead soon.
Agreed, although I'd classify it as a design flaw more than a bug. I think the correct design of the overwrite behavior would be to only evict cookies of the same HttpOnly value when a new cookie is set that causes the number to overflow. If that's not possible, then it should throw an error.
interesting. i'll have to check this one out.
The degree of disruption that things like Alzheimer's induce is at a much higher level than what I'm talking about.

I'm referring to, very basically, the ability to continuously perceive the world, create at least a short-term memory of that perception in real time, and feed that perception and memory continuously into our cognitive faculties.

Every human—indeed, every animal that has any cognitive faculties to speak of—exhibits these traits.

An LLM does not. There is no possible way it can, given its basic structure. They are fundamentally discontinuous programs.
Honestly, he's squandering his name/reputation and his internet points.
Maybe? For some people? I dunno, that sounds like it would mostly be worse for me, to have fewer points and fewer places that take cards. But even if it's better, it definitely doesn't seem "solved" to me... I think "solved" would be more like, fraud protection without credit, competition among card processing network driving merchant costs to access a network very low, people almost entirely using convenient fraud-protected debit cards like cash.

I think this is because you are conflating "model" and "plan"; whereas the conventional use of plan probably means model, when playing in your Sandbox it looks as if "plan" is model+data.

Back in the early 80s, I visited the Police National Computer Unit at Hendon in North London. The computer room was the size of a football pitch. Most of the floor was covered with washing-machine-sized disk-pack drives, along with quite a lot of dedicated IO processors (also washing-machine-sized). The walls were lined with storage for offline disk-packs. This system was a triple Burroughs B7800.

What distinguished mainframes from minicomputers back then wasn't their awesome processing power, or their resilience; it was their huge IO capacity. They could handle hundreds of storage devices, and hundreds of thousands of terminals. At least, that's how I was told it; I never worked on mainframes.

Nowadays a single connection to the internet can connect you to a similar number of "terminals", and storage is also accessed over a network. So the advantages touted by the author are quite different from what they used to be; IO nowadays isn't the issue it was back then.
Isn’t this going to get very unmanageable very soon? Intel seems to add extensions every other year or so.

That's a neat idea! when I estimate future expenses, typically I'll do independent analysis and then bring my final numbers into PL. But I think you're right that there's an opportunity to include some country/region benchmarks or perhaps integrate APIs to pull them on-demand. Do you happen to know of any data providers that might be straightforward to integrate for that sort of thing?
I think you’re missing one of the key points of Julia, that others have also pointed out: you’re reliant on libraries other write in c/c++.

Julia’s proposition is that the entire community should be able to read and contribute to these libraries. Unlike the python community where the vast majority of users could not read the source behind those libraries let alone contribute.
