Got evaluation results that show how well this approach works?
I think these two have different use cases.

Adding a .NET backend to Rust could give you high-level two way interop.

Adding a similar backend to LLVM would let you use .NET target similarly to WASM in that you could compile pretty much any software (C/C++, Go, Rust, etc) and run it on any supported platform without recompiling (well, it would JIT). But you'd have to stick to C-level APIs.
Indeed. Sidewalks (and on large roads, cycle/ped shared paths) are incredibly common in the UK. Not everywhere, of course. But considering the fact that even in US city centres you frequently can't find a sidewalk, it's a large difference. Just a lot easier to navigate places on foot, even if it's not always pleasant to be 10 feet from a motorway on a walk.
Light fills the universe, but a telescope will be blinded if you shine a flashlight into it.

They've used them for maybe 15 years for their non-PC processors, guys.

If you search Google with the time filter between 2001 and 2010 you'll find news on it.

There must be some reason HN users don't know very much about semiconductors. Probably principally a software audience? Probably the highest confidence:commentary_quality ratio on this site.
This looks very interesting, but it wasn't clear to me how to run this, in particular, how the demo at the top of the README was run.

Does this repo build a standalone OS the runs on a bare machine, or does it run in a VM like QEMU, or is it a Rust application program that runs hosted on a conventional OS?
I'm presuming the hard reset is to a factory-assigned password.

Is that uniform across all devices, or device-specific?

Practice I've seen for some years now is to have a label on the device with admin/root password, which is presumably neither uniform across devices nor trivially-determinable from device characteristics (e.g., MAC address, sequential serial numbers, etc.).

I'd still consider that practice reasonably tolerable, though you should be keeping better tabs on assets and credentials.
Right, they aren’t and shouldn’t be content neutral.
You are not understanding.

We already have many laws that effect companies.

For example, power companies cannot just turn off your electricity because they don't like what you say.

These are called common carrier laws and they are completely uncontroversial.

We live in a society, and it is perfectly OK for us to put limits on what major monopoly type companies can do.
That’s a colossal overstatement. I suggest you checkout Asianometry on YouTube.

TSMC is in a unique position in the market and its integration with ASML is one of the chapters in this novel.
Blindboy Boatclub has on one of his podcasts an entertaining take on kayfabe and US politics. For example, "Trump" is former US president Donald Trump's kayfabe name, and we play along by using that nickname (while he's not the first president to colloquially go by their last name, he seems to be playing a role in a movie (Idiocracy, for example) more than the other presidents that come to mind). It was a fun non-American perspective.
Sure, but cancer != positive test because of false positives. Therefore the question of odds.

I like your idea of working these things out statistically but by your phrasing it's not necessarily what's being done (as in there are no reliable enough numbers for odds that matter).

But even if those odds were available, no matter what patient chooses, once you tell then there is a positive result, the fact that false positive is possible and odds are not in favor of treatment so they make a choice to do nothing does not mean they get to live a normal life from now on. Patients are not pure bayesian choice machines. The choice you make will affect you in big unknown ways and the existence of such choice already affects you until your EOL and has repercussions. That cancer was detected in your body cannot be "unheard" or "unread" back. Maybe you manage to deal with it, maybe you will live in constant stress. and of course chronic stress is connected to tissue inflammation, sleep disruption and other issues.

Therefore your argument that screening is automatically good does not seem to be convincing to me
It's like the second result when you Google for n95 electrostatic: https://pubs.aip.org/aip/pof/article/32/9/093304/1060745/Rec... (read the first section (not the abstract))

It was actually a really cool story when this happened during the pandemic. The original inventor of the current n95 mask production technique came out of retirement to help out.

The comment you’re replying to lists several examples already, like the use of the Spamhaus DROP list.

https://www.spamhaus.org/drop/
Spam is speech that the recipient does not want to receive; deplatforming spammers is aligned with the recipient's desires. Deplatforming speech that the recipient does want to receive is not aligned with the recipient's desires and infringes on their ability to communicate freely. Therefore, the spam analogy is not valid.
> I highly doubt entire neighborhoods or districts are serviced with a single extremely large 400V 3-phase transformer in Europe.

They do currently.

I can at talk for the French and Swiss system.

- Entire neighbourhood are served by a single 400V 3-phase transformer.

- For critical infrastructure, you do have sometimes two transformers in redundancy on the same local loop in case of failure on one.

There is no need for the pole type of transformer everywhere in the street with double layers of cable like in Japan or in the US.

That is not workable. Unlike a G3, The Wii is not a Mac in any meaningful way and shares virtually no hardware other than the processor (tons of embedded shit used Power PCs, that doesn’t make them a Mac any more than a Google Pixel is an iPhone because it uses Arm arch). This method is leveraging the (ancient) driver support already developed for Linux to run on the Wii. No version of OS X has drivers for the Wii and I don’t know of any prior effort to do so.

Mac OS X does have some FreeBSD parts, but Darwin is not FreeBSD, especially at the hardware interface.
What's with the X1s having such crappy screen resolutions (1920x1080)?

My practically ancient Carbon X1 Gen 7 (2019?) has a screen of 2560x1440. You can't even buy a MacBook Air even at that poor a resolution nowadays.
I am not sure what the major issue is here.

Mono has been there for a very long time, and even gave life to Unity 3D.
That lightens the load somewhat, allowing you to do your work at the constituency office instead of having to travel long distances to the central meeting place. But the vast majority will never even make it to the constituency office.

And fair enough. It’s still a lot of work to even participate without lengthy travel. It is completely understandable why most are content to be under dictatorial control. They don’t need brainwashing to get there.
I.write c++ all the time, and I go months between needing new or delete. Unique_ptr is a wonderful thing. Not quite as powerful as rust's borrow checker, but it saves me a lot of thinking.
I used them in the heyday. There were workloads where they were fantastic, but anything that needed good single-core performance suffered. It also often required much more tuning of parameters to perform, or recompilation, etc. For me, it also coincided with lots more need to use SSL, which had been optimized well for x86 but not Sparc. So now you were dealing with more complexity via SSL offload cards, or reverse proxies. Basically, just too fussy to make them work well outside a few niche areas.

Maybe not a big factor, but it also was bothersome for sysadmins because much of the work we had to do was serial, single core, etc. Meaning it showed it's worst side to the group that usually signed the vendor checks.
I guess hi )
The election is something that distance makes clearer, although 50 years might not be enough time. Think of the history of the roman senate. Truth is barely talked about, the narrative revolves around factions, power, and outcomes.

Call it post-truth, call it machiavellian, but being on top is a social game, not a practical one.
yea, i meant CSP.

>so few JavaScript libraries are compatible with it.

is this because of the 'eval' function specifically, or is there other reasons?
Why would these be identical? New stories everyday, new games played etc.
Prisma is better than any Python ORM in my opinion.
Thinking about it for a few more minutes, one thing that I think is the great mistake is a homogenization of executable formats (everything on Mac is Mach-O, everything on Windows is PE, everything on Linux is ELF, etc). There's no reason we can't have a diverse ecosystem of executable/linkage formats - and an OS with a dirt simple model for loading in code is a great place for that.
You've only gotta find 3 more to hit that 50%, and you get 9x as many tries as it took you to find the original 5. I like those odds, shrug.
> To put it even more simply: When a person uses a room in a house to engage in illegal or just terrible activity, we don’t call on the electric company to cut off the light and heat to the entire house, or the post office to stop delivering mail. We know that this will backfire in the long run. Instead, we go after the bad guys themselves and hold them accountable.

I like this analogy it hits it home.

It really should take a court order to block sites based on a legal reason, and you probably don’t need to get the backbone to do it, it could be done by the ISP then escalate up if needed.

Marvell made an SMT8 ARM CPU with "768 Threads Per Node"

https://www.servethehome.com/marvell-thunderx3-arm-server-cp...

IIRC it was targeted at database workloads, and the pitch was the same: if the core is usually twiddling its thumbs waiting on RAM, it might as well work on another thread in the meantime.

And I guess IBM and Zen4C kinda fufill this demand, but more SMT16 cloud instances explicity targeted at these low IPC loads would be neat.
GKE in general seems to be doing better than EKS though. They have a lot of things right and EKS seems to be playing catch-up. For example if you look at any Multi-cluster Kubernetes setup by AWS it's just a giant duct-tape rather than a ground-up solution. GKE worked on fundamentals first like multi-cluster endpoints, multi-cluster services, multi-cluster ingress, multi-cluster config-sync and now bringing it all together under GKE Enterprise.
My experience with python was simply, people wanting to get shit done. This was circa 2008. They weren't really engaging in language wars, but doing innovative things like extending Java, with Jython.

I was arguing for the F500 company I was working on to explore using Jython to write unit tests for Java code.

Why not have a scripting language to write unit tests for Java code?

I see this with Rust trying to extend python in interesting ways. I don't see this with Java trying to extend C/C++ or Python.
That is covered in the paper. Was there a flaw in their control process?

> while being syntactically similar to TypeScript

The guy who invented C# went on to invent TypeScript.

I've been working with C# for over 20 years. The big problem with C# in the early days was the ecosystem: an awesome language, awesome IDE, but limited libraries and bloated frameworks.

.Net Core fixed a lot of this: ASP Core works more like Express, where routing is declarative, and has no surprises. In contrast, the original ASP for .Net used reflection to infer routes at runtime, which was extremely fragile.

The way that NuGet works now is more like cargo / npm; but before that package management was either all DIY or unpredictable.

IE: Until .Net Core, you could argue that C# was a better language, but end up getting trapped in the shortcomings of the ecosystem. Now that the ecosystem is on par with Rust / Node, it's much better.

I do think there needs to be a way to smooth over the difference between sync and async APIs. Far too often the difference between an async and sync method is just copy/paste. There needs to be a way for async/sync to just JIT out to call either the sync or async method of the stream/socket/lowest level API.
Apparently 10.4.11 was the last to support PowerPC without altivecs. I'd imagine that you could rely on the ubiquitousness of open source kernels to figure out what's not booting right considering that you'd need to write all of the drivers for the peripherals.
Thanks for providing NixOS commentary. I’d was leery something in Nix would break, so I never tried.

Obviously the thought comes up of the fact that this feels unsafe to have WASM in font files, but, I'm also aware that font layout engines are already turing complete, which leads me to wonder: have there been any high profile malware font examples? That entire stack feels a lot like an attack surface to me, especially given stuff like the fact that windows used to render fonts in the kernel layer.
Off topic, but even Navalny is very critical of the post-'91 regimes in a recent blog post: https://navalny.com/p/6652/. At the time, the US in particular was quite open about making sure those same "reformers" won elections, etc.
Remember the Red Scare, when communists, socialists, and leftists were widely hated and persecuted? Do you think such a societal shift can't happen again?

> If five decades onwards one were to write a History of Our Times (the Central North American Edition) it would be correct to, say, point out that claims were made in the media and courts regarding a stolen election and to then cite court filings, articles in prominent newspapers, and perhaps videos from both network and youtube archives. It's fair to say that such claims formed the zeitgeist of our recent times for a substantial portion of the population affected and that any citation failed to logically support what it purported to support.

If you argued claims were made in the media regarding a stolen election and cited a variety of newspapers and blogs where people talk about how DT thought he won the election because of 10,000 dead people voting in GA or whatever, so he should be President not Biden, how would those citations fail to logically support your argument that claims were made in the media regarding a stolen election?
I'm going to answer your question directly: No, it's not worse.

My interactions with Guido haven't been awesome. But the people put up with him regardless. The other people in python have been awesome.
That's great in theory. The application of it would be something like "don't read or reply to this comment if you don't wanna".

This is actually an interesting case. Openbsd implemented timing out the connection by adding it to the tty[1]. this sort of shenanigan would never fly on linux, "what! improve an unrelated established system, I don't think so." So for a long time doas on linux was not able to timeout a session. At some later point the timeout code was re-implemented on linux using a different mechanism[2].

If your linux doas does not timeout, try updating it?

Interesting to see Hoskinson, of Cardano, on the paper.
I disagree: Python seems to have a zillion build tools and multiple competing type-checkers.
I know this is not the way it's done on HN, but since this isn't my thread I feel like I can throw in some amicus support for your side here by pointing out that an N of 30 is a sort of foundational number in stats, although it's not a magical number as there are some pretty rigorous maths behind it.

But it's not like social science people decided that an n of 20 or 30 was a good number to use because that's conveniently what they likely had access to (roughly the size of an undergrad classroom) for field data. and they didn't come up with it anyway), this is a number you're going to find in chapter 1, page 3 or 4 of any introductory stats text.

Strong points, but I disagree with the timeline a little bit.

> A reduction in the labor force for skilled creative work

I agree and disagree with this. Stable diffusion is art, but creating the art is still within the realm of artists. Also, they'll still need copyediting, refining, etc. I think creatives will transfer or complement their skills with this stuff, like some are already doing. (Example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VGa1imApfdg)

I also very highly doubt that fine art will ever be 100% AI. Uniqueness drives their value.

> The complete elimination of humans in customer-support roles

Definitely not. Human customer service is key for achieving high eNPS scores. People will always want to talk to other people, even if IVR and chat can address their needs.

> More convincing spam and phishing content, more scalable scams

Definitely, but it is well documented that the most common types of scams are made to be deliberately "off" to find easy marks more quickly.

> SEO hacking content farms dominating search results
> Book farms (both eBooks and paper) flooding the market

Both of these have been happening for many years. OpenAI will make it easier to stand up boilerplate hello-world starters though (as OP called out). I suppose Google will downrank sites like this to prevent incentivizing this.

> AI-generated content overwhelming social media
Widespread propaganda and astroturfing, both in politics and advertising

This is the one thing I'm actually concerned about. I hope that Reddit doesn't become people talking to other people via ChatGPT assistants. That would be a cultural net loss.
> The argument that a cooperative scheduling is doomed to fail is overblown. Apps are already very much cooperative. For proof, run a version of that on your nice preemptive system : [pathological example which creates tons of threads and files]

The example is just too contrived. On a preemptive OS, apps typically hang in ways that don't turn the whole thing cooperative (thread deadlock, infinite loop, etc.). Also, a preemptive system could kill an app if it creates too many threads, files, or uses too much RAM, long before it gets effectively cooperative. Our systems are just more permissive.

> [Sandboxing] comes free once you accept the premises.

and yet

> any app can casually check the ram of another app ^^. This is going to be a hard problem to solve.

So no, sandboxing doesn't come for free.

That said, it's a cool idea and I wish the author success!

To my understanding they predicted the crash site, then dragged their magnets over where they thought it was, and over some other random regions. The spheres are in the predicted crash site but not the random regions.

I think it was clear that the author wasn't finding the maximum possible distance, only the maximum achievable in a short amount of time.

I say this because his graph of distance only went up with time, whereas we know that eventually it will have to level off as a larger angle won't translate into more distance.

It's like suddenly listening to an unfamiliar language.

"Dividing it by two gives you 3/8 rather than 9.5mm." - so? What's wrong with 9.5 mm? And what's going to happen when you divide by three, not two?

"It's not like you can't do any of this with the metric system, but you'll either need to measure things more, or round things." - won't you need to round things in any positional system when you divide in not a divider of the base of the system - that is, in imperial system the base is 2, and you have convenient halfs, quarters, eights... and in metric the base is 10 and it's convenient to divide by 2, 5 and all combinations of 2s and 5s - like 50 or even 125.

In your example, 3/4 is 0.75, and divided by 2 is 0.375, and for quick estimate for what it would be in inches you take an inch as 25 mm and go from it.

Don't see anything natural in one compared to the other.
