> fringe extremist

It’s socially conservative. Why the hyperbolic language? It’s only “extreme” when juxtaposed with the political expressions of “polite society”, not America at large, which skews conservative on social issues.

Everything is propaganda, as everything is political. We just call things propaganda when it’s the kind we disagree with.

> directly participated in multiple criminal conspiracies

I’m sure the police in this town would say the same of the newspaper in question.

Well that’s not true on its face. I find a lot of it cringy, but even when I find that they don’t merit the conclusions that PV comes to (which is quite often), they are quite transparent.
At least a million people died in the United States of Covid, and that's probably an underestimate. Imagine if we had done nothing. The healthcare system remained intact because we took public health measures to slow down the spread of the disease.
Names can sometimes be standardized at the worst possible times.

For example, Ellis Island was a huge source of novel spellings, loss of diacritics, Anglicizations, and other rather atrocious word crimes. However, since perhaps a small, finite number of civil servants were the ones transcribing the names and putting them on official US documentation, this had the effect of basically standardizing a lot of names for families now living in these United States, and possibly reducing the variation that was found among them. While I haven't directly seen many Ellis Island records, I've seen a lot of US Census records, and it's obvious that the census workers always wrote down sort of what they heard, and when it comes to names, there could be all kinds of phonetic trickery going on.

This still goes on today, and anywhere you have a bored, underpaid civil servant entering names into a rigid database system, you'll have a rather unpleasant standardization on the lowest common denominator. People who speak Arabic or Indic languages may often choose, on-the-spot, how to romanize their names. There are some romanization standards, of course, for most popular scripts, but why not follow multiple ones in the same word?

I imagine that it may go the other way, as well. Whatever country people are immigrating to, whatever written language that database is implemented in, names will get standardized to that lowest-common-denominator.

Some of Cruise and Waymo cars have drivers in them, but based on my personal experience and what I've been hearing from friends, they see a lot more Cruise with drivers than Waymos these days. Not sure if this particular car had a driver, but the comments on the video seem to say it didn't.
Good question. There are different ways that errors come into analog computations, including thermal noise, measurement imprecision, and imprecision of the device's physical parameters. This work addresses thermal noise (which is always present at finite temperature), and provides algorithms which are indifferent to thermal noise, or even benefit from it. The other sources of error can, in principle, be made arbitrarily small (at least down to the quantum limit), but in practice are also limiting factors. Progress has been made on error mitigation methods to deal with these other sources of error, so stay tuned.
UTM is great, but sort of useless for many of my most acute Windows needs: talking to some random peripheral or device that only has a closed-source x86 windows driver.

By "grounds for flagging" do you mean comments being reported and removed by moderation or do you mean being heavily downvoted?

If the latter, then, again, a lot of people disagreeing with you isn't generally good evidence of being correct. You might be correct, but the downvotes aren't the thing that proves it. Personally, I'd have a think about why.

If it's the former, from what I've seen here comments get removed for tone or being off-topic, not for disagreement.

thanks for the correction about the bankruptcy; i'd seen that in fact it was a corporate raider skinning them alive rather than an actual bankruptcy but i'd forgotten

why didn't they just switch to cmos? every computer company was using ttl at the beginning of the 70s and lots of them survived the switch to cmos in the late 80s or early 90s. some mainframe and super companies waited until much later because they were using ecl rather than ttl

my own uninformed guess previously had been that their sales force structure couldn't survive the necessary price reductions to compete against commodity pcs, because the equipment pricing had business-class plane fares and three-martini lunches for the sales force figured in, but i haven't been able to find any information about datapoint pricing in the early 80s to confirm this. apparently avoiding this problem was one of the main reasons the ibm pc was developed in such a non-ibm manner: to avoid being dependent on the ibm sales force

I'm curious about the point on the embedding lookup cost... in my experience for an embedding lookup to be accurate, you have to include your entire document dataset to be queried against... obviously this can be just as expensive as querying a full cloud model if your dataset is very large. Interested if anyone had thoughts about this.

The Beatles kind of sucked at the beginning of their career. That they became as good as they did was a shot in the dark— not the ability to divide which ones would become great.

Just do it. We bought a plot that is (for where we live) fairly large. About 2/3 of it is meadow. Gorgeous wildflowers.

It's easy to do: Mow it once a year, in late summer, to prevent brush and trees from establishing. Remove the mowings, and never fertilize - or you'll have nothing but grass. It can take a few years and some helpful seeding, but the results are worth it.

Edited to add: since the wildflowers are native, you also never have to water.
I can also recommend Niklaus Wirth's "Project Oberon" - not quite literate programming, but extremely well explained code examples and data structures of the Oberon OS/language/UI system: http://www.projectoberon.net

Wirth's "Compiler Construction" is very concise and written in a similar way: https://people.inf.ethz.ch/wirth/CompilerConstruction/ - he manages to describe a complete compiler for an Oberon subset (earlier versions of the book used PASCAL) in a bit more than 100 pages.

Notice that the complexity depends on the error as eps^(-2), since the method is based on integrating a stochastic differential equation (SDE) over time. So this is an approximation algorithm, and not something that requires "arbitrarily precise measurements".

You could simulate the SDE digitally, but you would probably need d^2 time per iteration, where this approach just initializes the systems and waits for it to converge to a sufficient precision. Turns out the convergence time depends on sqrt(condition number) similar to the best iterative linear solvers, conjugate gradient (CG).

You can debate whether it's fair to assume a fully connected d^2 chip, since a similar size cpu or gpu could perhaps do each iteration of CG in constant time, and so would have the same (or better) complexity as the thermodynamic method. However, each cell the the proposed chip is way simpler than a cpu cell, so it should be cheaper/more energy efficient.
Yeah, I think trying to take the idiom too literally reveals a lot of holes, comparing apples to oranges is a legitimate thing to do in the context of what fruit to eat, for example.

Nitpicking that particular but doesn't negate the overall meaning behind the idiom. Lots of things can be compared, but the comparison provides dubious value at best. Sure I can compare having sticky notes on a fridge to Jira, but then I'd be comparing apples to oranges.
1) It was an extremely contagious disease that killed people of all ages basically at random unless you were under 20. We didn't know a lot about it, especially at the beginning. Extreme measures were warranted because we were in a state of emergency. Everyone paying attention who wasn't an ass hole understood this.

2) Do you have actual sources and analysis for this claim? I'm not trying to be a jerk here and say "source pls", but a lot of people did die, a lot of hospitals did fill up, and in places like Italy early in the pandemic, we did see it get pretty bad.

3) Even if we only had ballpark estimates here, we know millions of people died due to this disease. We also know that regardless of how we responded, our global economy was dependent on international trade and countries in Europe and China closed down regardless of what the United States did.

Covid was always going to damage the global economy and inflame a whole cornucopia of dangerous idealogies. I'm glad we chose to act instead of pretending the problem would work itself out. Maybe it would have but it probably would have killed a shit load more people on the way out.

Sorry, but R1250RT is NOT a sports bike. It redlines at 8K rpm, compared to S1000RR that redlines at 14600 rpm, delivers 136 horses at 7750 rpm compared to 205 horses at 13000 rpm, does 105 lbs-ft. at 6,250 rpm compared to 83 lb-ft at 11,000 rpm.

Now if you look at K16 specs, 160 horses at 6750 rpm with 123.7 lbs-ft at 5250 rpm. And it DOES have linked brakes, traction control, ABS and heated grips.

Both R1250RT and K16 are marketed in the sports tourer segment.

So NO, R1250RT is no where near top of line sports tourer and definitely not a sports bike.

I actually have a half finished blog post on the subject ( Specifically intended for HN ) but here are some links.

- Anandtech.

- Servethehome

- SemiWiki

- WikiChip

- Asianometry

- Patrick Moorhead on Twitter and Forbes

- Realworldtech

- Beyond3D

- Semiengineering

- Wikipedia ( Yeah )

- TechTechPotato from Dr. Ian Cutress who used to work in Anandtech. Arguably the guy who picked up from Anand.

- And recently, ChipandCheese

That is about 100 hours of reading. You dont need to drill into every single topic. But just continue to read and find answer within these site. The single common theme on these links is that they are all business / industry related. i.e They will provide the "why" some companies are doing certain things. And in real world engineering it is all about trade-offs.

They also have their own set of bias, SemiEngineeing likes to bump up cost of certain tools and cost of making chips. Patrick Moorhead tends to be American bias and may not be the best source for Pure Play Foundry Business. Asianometry is somewhat China bias. SemiWiki is too optimistic on certain things ( Which is why I won the bet Samsung Foundry wont compete with TSMC by 2020 or 2023 ). Realworldtech is somewhat pro ARM according to many who hates ARM. ( You be your own judge ) ServetheHome is Server focus. Beyond3D is no longer updated but an very old gold mine for GPU related topics.

But once you gain enough knowledge within a year or two, you should find 99.999999% of information or so called rumours on the Internet are just pure BS.

And yes, nearly every single links above, those authors who I follow they all visit HN regularly. They just dont comment much. So if you know where on HN to look the 1% of HN comments are still absolute gold.
I've always found it interesting, and a bit unfortunate, that it seems like things like apitrace are generally pretty reliable, but tools like VirGL seem to often have trouble with typical programs. It seems like the problem of accurately serializing what is being done to the GPU using an API is possible, but in practice there is clearly a lot more to it than that. (Of course, in case of remoting, you do not have the benefit of observing the interactions with a known-good driver and with direct memory mapping/etc. So, that probably answers the "why" right there.)

It's been a while, though. Maybe this works really well... I'm curious to hear if anyone has more recent experience messing with these things.
this an ancient debate, but in practice there is no difference

> It's just a lot more civilised owing to a higher share of European (Catholic) population

I'd say it's because of the better wealth distribution. Belarus has always fared better in things like Gini index, because while Russia theoretically has a lot of money, that money is more concentrated.

Attributing it to "European" and specifically "Catholic" population seems wrong to me. There is nothing inherently "civilised" about Europeans or Catholics.

My sense is that the more complicated explanation that OP found is just retconning, trying to explain away the fact that someone in the committee didn't like <b> and <i> but couldn't get anyone else on board with deprecating them.

Sometimes who someone is talking to is enough to cause them problems. If we all had a unique ID for every person we talk to, there's no way to build a social graph. Even if IDs are pseudonymous, there's no forward secrecy there, once you've identified a participant in one social connection you've identified them in all of their social connections. Simplex solves this. Who everyone knows, even if you don't know the surname of everyone involved, is useful information to an adversary.
