>the best processors (apple, by miles IMO) are ARM?

I notice your "the best" actually is artificially restricted to something very narrow, I have to assume you mean "the fastest" at some specific TDP, which happens to be the one M1/M2 target. This is evident, as if you had more watts available, there are faster chips out there which were not designed by Apple.

And the reason there's no RISC-V chips targeting M1 out there yet is quite simple: Hardware development cycles are long.

Most RISC-V CPUs out there are based on the very first ratified privileged and unprivileged specs from 2019.

Next year, the first ones based on the batch of specs ratified in 2021, which are important for performance (bit manipulation, vector, hypervisor and so on) are expected to show up.

One of them is Tenstorrent's Ascalon, and the lead of the team that designed that one is the same man who led M1 at Apple. They've done presentations in which they present performance as competitive with projected Zen5, yet at lower power and smaller area.

Yet there are a lot of definitions for "the best" outside of your narrow focus. For instance, ARM has a range of processors targeting a range of markets, including microcontroller, LITTLE cores, realtime, fault-tolerant and so on. Most of these are bested in Power Performance Area by RISC-V designs already in the market.

SiFive does, by itself, manage this much, but there are already tens of companies offering hundreds of competitive designs for licensing.

RISC-V is inevitable.

You might not had made it if you spent all your time watching YouTube videos about things you can do with Prime TM.
You can use GarageBand perfectly fine on an iPhone, no reason Audacity can't do the same. It's literally just a UI issue, easily remedied especially on the web.
You’re describing the first time i saw a giraffe.

Of course if anyone has never seen a screen like that, the second they see it they’re going to get fascinated by it.

> X is just Y but slightly different.

Sure but I'm not sure how this is helpful. I think most people are very familiar with the standard west coast accent given it's prevalence in Hollywood. But the are even regional accents. PNW is different from NorCal which is different from SoCal. Rural Oregon and Washington are different from Portland and Seattle. Sure. Tbh most of the difference wouldn't even be noticed unless one listens carefully, especially because there's such a mixing.

> Neutral American broadcast English is basically a midwest accent.

Are you referring to the North Atlantic Accent? This is an entirely fictional accent the was created for radio and not born from an evolution of social speaking behaviors. This is the accent you hear in "old timey radio" (Legend of Korra is a good example). Pretty cool accent if we're being honest though.
Freedom of speech is obviously an issue in Singapore, and I think the government using legislation to “fact-check” the media is quite troubling, but…

I really don’t think Singapore is very corrupt. I’ve lived and worked there, and every interaction I’ve ever had with the government reinforced my perception that they would always deal with me fairly. I trust them more in that sense than I have trusted the governments in western countries that I’ve lived in (many of which have recently started to abandon the free-speech advantage they’ve previously held over places like Singapore).
> I never would have made it in this industry if it wasn't for spending endless hours with my computer for years before I had less and less time when I got older.

The amount of people that had the same upbringing but just became addicted to the internet/gaming instead of becoming a programmer is staggering though.

edit I'll add, I don't think blanket rules do much good either. The amount of "I won't let my kid do ____", where ____ is a pretty normal and mostly harmless thing, in this thread, is pretty wild. You have to teach kids to be reflective and thoughtful people, not just afraid of everything and/or unable to assess when something's good and when it's bad.
It's a disappointment that we never used different conceptual "types" for text files with different encodings. You can sort of get there with MIME types and encoding data attached, but imagine if you had a filename convention like '.txt.ASCII' or '.txt.UTF8LE', or '.txt.ISO8859-1' so software would know exactly what to expect rather than trying to sniff byte-order marks or hueristics for guessing encoding and mojibake fixes.
Pension fund sues Jeff Bezos and Amazon for not using Falcon 9 rockets
That's actually not how Nest Protects work.

Well, it's how they ALSO work.

They trigger independently and full-force at the same smoke level as the other types. That's a standardized and regulated level. It also sends notifications to your phone, but the primary alert is a god awful amount of noise. As it should be.

But before that standardized amd regulated level, there's a lower early warning level. If it detects a small amount of smoke, it gives an early warning. That warning is just a voice (still pretty loud!) and a phone notification that tells you about it.

The same goes for the batteries. It starts with a message to your phone and the led color. It will get louder after a while, but there's plenty of pre-warning to order new batteries and replace them before that. And all while you're awake anyway.

Dear climate-tech/green-tech recruiters and engineering leads,

I know you're out there. I can sense you, lurking behind a pile of processed resumes and cradling your reusable coffee cup like a talisman warding against ChatGPT cover letters. You're searching for that unicorn, the 10x engineer motivated by saving the planet who also rocks human skills that would make Brené Brown sit up and take notice.

I... am not that unicorn. More of a walrus, really, with wombat-like characteristics? But I did recently get restructured out of a role in climate-tech before I was done saving the world. I want more. I've got solid technical chops in platform engineering, Linux, AWS, Docker, all that good stuff. I'm an actual human who can talk (and listen) to people while only staring at my shoes approximately 35% of the time.

I work remotely from New Zealand, where green is practically a brand. We have tax treaties so you can pay me from everywhere, and our timezone dovetails nicely with many popular tech hubs including the Western US, Oceania, and Asia.

I make dev teams better. Add me to yours. There's a bit of a problem with CO2 we need to fix.

Cheers,
Rich.
This is slightly probabilistic. Say you're checking whether a byte is in a sparse set, then there's a 1/256 chance of a false positive.

(That is, if you're not zeroing memory. If you are, you don't even need the dense array at all, can just store a sparse array of booleans.)
My son just started middle school, and quickly we were hit with a new salvo of requests for a smartphone. Rather than immediately provide reasons why not, we've decided to turn it around and have him explain what he wants a smartphone for (he already has access to a flip phone he can take to school). Most things were met with "Can't you use your Chromebook or iPad for that?" Very soon he was sort of sheepishly left with "playing games at lunch" and "because my friends have one," which even he admits aren't great reasons.

It's not a fun conversation and he isn't happy, but I feel like this time around it was a bit more productive and less of the vibe that we're just saying no to be mean.
Perhaps so - but that's a function of what people put up with and buy anyway, rather than a defining feature. The building I lived in until recently did not have this problem.
You get the feeling it's the way the world would be if it were run by an all-powerful computer.
You should read the introduction to the paper. Its very readable and addresses this directly.

Basically the idea is that the demon is actually doing work, but the work is processing the information required to know when to open or close the door. Here the information processing is entirely a function of the state of the protein (the ABC transporter), which detects the molecule it transports by binding to it.

It’s actually a really beautiful idea. Living systems are information processors at a molecular level. That information is is entwined together across quadrillions of copies of tens of thousands of different proteins, building up an organism made of trillions of cells, which itself has higher level dedicated information processing nerve and brain cells
> Became impulsive as having instant access to technology is a form of instant gratification that was drilled into me

i don't see myself as "impulsive" like you describe. I got online when i was 8 and have been online since that day. its been so long...

a few years ago we were talking something and the idea was "internet gets boring after a while" and i responded almost instantly "the buzz i felt the very first time i opened a website, i still get that all these years later, every single time".

instant access to information i'd say. not technology. in the first 5-8 years, there was no facebook or whatever and i had learned the mantra "lurk moar" so it was always a one sided "uh... how about reading about skateboarding" or "what's the nazkca lines" because i saw on TV.

i would read something in books or on tv or newspaper and i could summon the internet and give me more details.

i don't see that as instant gratification but satiety at looking for information and getting it. you have an encyclopedia open at any page so you are being given the data you requested.

instant gratification is in regards to imo the whole social media, twitter, facebook, tiktok.

does anyone become "addicted to wikipedia" for example?
Very visceral oof. I don't remember a time when I knew about AI but not about Eurisko.

Retired teacher sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia after tweeting criticism
That's just it. I put my smart phone in the cupboard with my wallet and keys when I come home and don't touch it unless I have to. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of something with my kids and I tell them what I'm going to do, even though they are just 2 and 4, before doing it. Then I put it back as soon as I'm done. Just tonightz for example I needed it to doubke check a recipe. So I told them I was going to look at a recipe, checked it out, and then put it back in the cupboard.

Having a designated place for your phone helps. Another thing I found to make phone use at home less appealing when I first wanted to get away from it was to have a personal rule that I always had to be stabding up in the corner. I don't allow myself to sit down with it, which actuality helps a lot.

> What Nushell has built instead is a closed ecosystem of tools that interoperate well with each other, but not with the outside environment.

IMO "closed ecosystem" feels like a mischaracterization of the project--there's multiple features that are designed to support interoperability outside the nushell environment.

> how would I use GNU ls within Nushell?

To specifically answer this question there's at least 3 possible approaches (including basic parsing of output based on "Parse external ls command and combine columns for datetime" example[0])):

# Option 1 (use `^ls`)
$ nu --commands '^ls -lb | detect columns --no-headers --skip 1 --combine-columns 5..7 | select column4 column8 | rename size name | update size {|it| $it.size | into filesize} | last 5 | where size > 10KiB'

# Option 2 (use `run-external`)
$ nu --commands 'run-external --redirect-stdout "ls" "-lb" | detect columns --no-headers --skip 1 --combine-columns 5..7 | select column4 column8 | rename size name | update size {|it| $it.size | into filesize} | last 5 | where size > 10KiB'

# Option 3 (use `--stdin`)
$ ls -lb | nu --stdin --commands 'detect columns --no-headers --skip 1 --combine-columns 5..7 | select column4 column8 | rename size name | update size {|it| $it.size | into filesize} | last 5 | to nuon' | nu --stdin --commands 'from nuon | where size > 10KiB'
```

You could also use `jc` to parse the ls output to JSON & pipe that into nushell.

> I would have to resort to another Nushell-specific helper to integrate the command, which needs to be written in a very generic way to support a wide range of use cases

Well, one person would need to write that, once (or just use `jc`).

As a matter of interest, how would you do this example task ("display name & size for which of the last 5 files in a directory list are larger than 10KiB", I think) with bash/coreutils command pipeline? (Presumably some combo of `ls`, `cut`, `tail` and others?)

People are increasingly aware of the value of free speech and dangers of letting any centralized platform decide what is and is not acceptable to say

I wish, but I think this is completely wrong. Support for freedom of speech is at an all-time low and continues to drop. Frankly if it didn't already exist I don't think you could even get the postal service off the ground these days, with its completely uncensored communication.
I am desperately vetting your comment for something I can criticize. An inadvertent, irrelevant, imagined infraction. Anything! But you have left me no opening.

Well done, sir, well done.
I think it really depends on the child, and the parents. My wife thinks games are invented by the devil (figuratively) and starts complaining after my son plays them for half an hour, but she’ll happily have him watch hours of youtube without blinking an eye.

I’d rather have him do something that stimulates his mind. But I’d still not want it to be all day long. There’s slso the fact he gets incredibly cranky when playing them because he feels like he should always win.
Close. An app isn't valuable without the extensive business rules.

What point are you trying to make here? Marx’s writings were based on his observations of factories and industry in England at the time, among other things.
Nice find digging up that list, which makes it seem like 80%+ of those promoted channels didn't succeed. And if you exclude the "mainstream media" channels (e.g. Reuters, Slate, The Onion, etc.) which had an existing audience prior to YouTube, then the success rate is even lower. This does make Numberphile seem like an outlier even amongst the promoted channels.
There's a good chance I've been gaming for longer than you've been alive.
Because they haven't done any excavations yet.
Setting up pipelines seem fairly easy to do in JavaScript using async/await. Unfortunately, the Streams API is complicated and so are Node’s streams. I ended up inventing my own.
Their justification is:

> Unicode aims in the first instance at the characters published in modern text (e.g. in the union of all newspapers and magazines printed in the world in 1988), whose number is far below 2¹⁴ = 16,384.

...and yeah, that's probably true. It wasn't until several years later that they joined forces with the ISO10646 project, which aimed to encode every character ever used by any human writing system, and 16 bits turned out not to be enough.
> https://www.energy.gov/em/cleanup-sites shows what seem like a dozen sites

Virtually all of these are nuclear weapons sites, not civilian power sites. A quick skim shows that the contamination in many of them has to do with producing plutonium, which current power reactors do not even use.

> And what of other nations?

Like France?

France has been producing the majority of its electricity from nuclear power for going on 40 years.

It was really just the electrical socket in the closet that threw me. I don't think I've ever seen that, and I can't think why else anyone would want one there, but clever of them to take advantage of the situation--and you too!

Needs a bit more proofreading but nice to read anyway.

This might need major fix

> In a 64-bit ISA, each instruction is represented using 64 bits (8 bytes).

Not as I understand it and maybe only for exotic ISAs like VLIW. For most other, CISC or RISC, I think the instruction length might be much smaller, and in some cases, x86 for example, the length of instructions is variable (one of the reasons they have a decoder). The size of the registers is 64 bits, as are the ALU operations on these registers, and the length of the words that are addressed in memory.
Yes, they did. That's the point of the story. When they excavated, there were zero human remains. As in none.

As stated in the very first paragraph of the story (did you read it?)

"After two years of horror stories about the alleged mass graves of Indigenous children at residential schools across Canada, a series of recent excavations at suspected sites has turned up no human remains."
I don't see how this would be any different from messing around with a Linux system and slinging off `sudo this` and `sudo that` here and there. Though you do pose a very good point. I've always maintained that version control is not something that should be just for managing software projects. I think it should be a core system feature and potentially a feature of programming languages as well. If backwards compatibility is needed, you should be able to import a module from a particular revision so you can actually delete old code without the nasty ramifications from doing so.
What's the problem with multi-generational travel?
It's not the utility that I have issue with. It's the claim "driverless cars may already be safer than human drivers" because it leaves out the criteria.

I'll accept "driverless cars may already be safer than human drivers when driving in urban conditions in San Francisco or Phoenix."

No problem.

The unqualified statement however - I haven't seen anything saying (or even attempting to claim) that it is safer than humans when driving in Minneapolis at 5pm on December 1st, 2023.

I'm still waiting for the unqualified statement to be attempted to even see if it holds up.
> The real challenge is that any broad nuclear power push would result in reactors coming online in 8-10 years.

I see this argument a lot. It seems to be based on the assumption that grid-scale solar and wind plants can be built overnight which is... not the case.

Grid scale solar plants barely even exist, and I believe all of them are heavily subsidized.
>NYPD publicly doxed and threatened the mayor's daughter

As best I can tell, that is not true.

The Sergeants Benevolent Association, a police union, posted to Twitter a screenshot of Chiara de Blasio’s arrest report, which is a public record. The arrest report report contained her address… which was Gracie Mansion. In other words, not remotely a secret. The tweet did not threaten her.
Nothing is forever, and this is especially true when a website is based upon other website's resources.
