True (assuming the stock price doesen't crash immediately after the IPO) but still it's not really justifiable based on their current financial figures or future growth prospects.

I'm not even sure what the valuation this valuation might even be based on (which admittedly applies to a bunch of other companies which actually end up doing quite well). They might conceivably be worth 100 P/E as an acquisition but an IPO would only make it less likely?

$50-55 billion would mean that ARM is more overvalued than Nvidia and Nvidia actually has a realistic chance to grow into that valuation.
There's an interesting looking Japanese website encouraging industrial tourism.

https://www.jetro.go.jp/en/eccj/ind_tourism/foods.html is the link for food, but there's a lot more categories such as life sciences and heavy industry.

(I found that link from HN a little while ago, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33680460 is the HN submission, which might have other interesting info on it)
Don't know what a gender noun is, but it sounds different from a noun gender.
My only experience with multiple Indians coworkers is from like 6 years ago. The one who could talk multiple Indian dialect, loved his country and his town explained to me what I should do if I ever visited seemed oblivious to castes. The other two (both from Punjab if I understood correctly) were of two different castes (and religion, I learned that towards the end) and it was... Weird. You could feel unease. Maybe the first one could afford to ignore castes his whole life, as his parents and grandparents were some kind of town mayor/leaders in an affluent part of india, as my understanding is that caste discrimination is more prevalent in poorer part of the country, but from that short interaction (less than a year), I thought at the time that India wasn't there yet.
More like "now under this bill, I cannot discriminate anymore based on my, and others, heritage that was opposed on us against their will, obviously this is against nature / the will of the gods..."
> The political climate is mostly about what people want.

Man someone should tell all the oil companies that are actively running campaigns to push propaganda on folks to change political opinions.

Yes, it is "what people want". You're missing the line of "How did we get to the point of people wanting this".

But instead of asking that question, you're jumping to blaming the victims and not the system that allowed a few people with money to completely change the thoughts and behaviors of millions of people.

Now you're cooking with gas!

> "Batteries are heavy. That’s why, generally, electric cars weigh considerably more than otherwise similar gasoline-powered vehicles"

Knoll's law.

> I just looked up the weight of my little car's engine, it's just 69 kg (152 lbs).

Gosh, so heavy. That's more than twice as much as the 365hp motor in the Model S!

How much is the transmission, alternator, water pump, radiator, coolant, exhaust system, fuel tank and fuel?

The main difference here is that the weight of a gasoline car is proportional to the size of the car, because a bigger car needs a bigger engine and transmission and all of that. A bigger electric motor adds a trivial amount of weight and you recover most of what's needed to accelerate a larger mass from regenerative braking, so the weight of the battery is proportional to the range.

But for a normal midsized car as you might see in the US, the weight is about the same even for a range in excess of 300 miles. It should be possible for an electric truck to weigh less, because you can put a 500hp electric motor in it (which is still light), remove the 900lb engine and 350lb transmission and all of that, and have well over 1000lbs left for the battery before it's actually heavier.

If you want a tiny little thing you can still make it arbitrarily light, you're just going to have to charge it more often then. But the average commute is 41 miles.
Except this sort of funding has multiplicative effects. Funding for a single doctor helps only that doctor and their patients. Funding for this sort of work helps all doctors and all patients. When austerity cannibalizes your force multiplying efforts, that’s truly the end.

Edit:

For context the thing you linked says UK medical residents (in US language) make $36k/year, and the median household income is also $36k/y[0] .

In the US the average non specialist income is $60k[1], and the median household income is $69k[2]

This tells me things aren’t out of whack.

They also say 40% of residents in the UK want a different job. But residencies are temporary. In a few years they will have a new job - a full doctor.

I’m not saying there’s not a crisis, but that sheet doesn’t explain to me what the crisis actually is. They seem to be doing on par with US residents.

I believe you're thinking unstable as in "it breaks all the time". That's not it; it's that anything written before React Hooks were introduced is now squarely in the category of legacy code (https://react.dev/reference/react/legacy).
> Some may say game-playing AIs such as CICERO are benign, but such thinking is short-sighted; capabilities developed for game-playing models can still contribute to the proliferation of deceptive AI products.

What is short sighted is writing articles that manifest hypothetical situations without basis.

As most developers know, "software" can do just about anything, including bringing joy, or creating suffering. Is it possible to code up something that "tricks" the user? Absolutely.

Humans drive the outcomes, usually, and it will be humans that deceive other humans, not AI doing it on its own (at least at this time). Having intent to deceive is TOTALLY different than deceiving as a by-product of playing a game, or having conflicted requirements and an objective outcome as a measurement for success or failure.

There are thousands of people who's job is to actively research and find ways to create effective propaganda.

It doesn't matter how smart or stupid humanity is. There will always be flaws to abuse to create propaganda.

So, if we agree with "Propaganda generation is a given" - what should we do with the people who are creating it and what should we do to protect people as much as we can from corporate backed propaganda?

Certain hard cancers are known to depend on blood sugar for growth as they can't metabolize anything else. It makes sense that a keto diet, therefore, would slow tumor growth, and I've heard of oncologists recommending it. Keto diets prevent prevent elevated blood sugar naturally. It's not a silver bullet but when it comes to cancer you've got to take every advantage you can get.

China has been making 7nm chips for a long time. This one is a breakthrough because it's a consumer product you can go ahead and buy.
This post is misleading, in a way that is hard to do accidentally.

- They compare the performance of this model to the worst 7B code llama model. The base code llama 7B python model scores 38.4% on humaneval, versus the non-python model, which only scores 33%.
- They compare their instruct tuned model to non-instruct-tuned models. Instruction tuning can add 20% or more to humaneval performance. For example, WizardLM 7B scores 55% on humaneval [1], and I've trained a 7B model that scores 62% [2].
- For another example of instruction tuning, Stablecode instruct tuned benchmarks at 26%, not the 20% they cite for the base model [3]
- Starcoder, when prompted properly, scores 40% on humaneval [4]
- They do not report their base model performance (as far as I can tell)

This is interesting work, and a good contribution, but it's important to compare similar models.

"from the markets"

How do you know the person you are buying it from actually owns it.
You "can't" make a one stop shop for electronics, not at least how things are done right now.

Different projects will have different reasons for choosing transistors: maybe response time is maximally important. Maybe they're using the transistor in "linear" mode and would rather have a wide and consistent ohmic region. Maybe its a high-power application where breakdown voltage is most important. Maybe it needs to be ruggedized and they'll prefer protection diodes.

This is _JUST_ transistors. Every other part basically has this similar problem.

There's just too many important decisions per part. As such, modern nmos-transistor catalogs number in the thousands of parts in practice. The only way you get the right transistor is through online ordering through megastores (like Digikey) who can keep stock of all the hundreds-of-thousands of SKUs + have an online searchable database to help you find what you're looking for.

-------------------

So where Radio Shack could feasibly work... is by:

1. Shrinking the catalog down to "standard" generic parts that have wide applicability to many different projects. "Jack of all Trade" transistors, that aren't the best in any particular category but instead have nice behaviors across a large set of axis. This is just for a "keep in stock" perspective, for anyone who wants to "make an electronics project today" without waiting for the 5 to 10 days for typical shipping times for custom PCBs.

#1 means that Radio Shack (or other stores) can swap between transistors from different manufacturers as they come into (or out of) stock, or based on supply/demand. (Buying up excess stock from a factory on the cheap), etc. etc. But still organizing these parts to match various SKUs that match particular use-cases (ex: 3.3V logic NMOS).

2. Focus on physical attributes which benefit to coming into the store. Ex: Serving as a central point for expensive tool rental. An OEM-set of crimpers, for example the Harwin M20 series of Dupoint / Mini-PV clone connectors, has a $570 crimper. That's cheap for a store to hold in stock/rental, but a bit expensive for hobbyists.

Electronics in practice have _LOTS_ of $500+ tools (crimpers, 3d printers, laser cutters, etc. etc.) that really would benefit from rental-models. Furthermore, the tool usage scales well with wire usage in practice. (Ex: bulk ethernet cable is way cheaper than individual ethernet wires. If hypothetical-Radio Shack buys 10,000 ft. spools and has the nice $500 to $1000 crimpers to make your own wire in store, that's a good reason to come in)

-----------

With 4-layer boards so cheap in practice through online ordering, I really don't think "Hypothetical Radio Shack" can compete with that.

But give me a place to consolidate custom wire lengths + rental of those expensive crimpers, and we probably have a deal.
Did it give you a result leading directly to their canonical campaign website? I can see Sanders and Clinton with international, but can't see DeSantis nor any other Republican candidate (not even Pence).

Ask HN: Cloud File Synchronization Solution with Archiving Support
Currently I have a Dropbox Business Account with a team folder that my staff uses.

Latley, I have been having synchronization problems: File conflicts and move operations that show up as deletions (the data is restored right afterwards). I think its related to when a new Dropbox client is setup. With dropbox you can't specify a custom location during setup and have to set that up later. During one of these setups, when dropbox moved the data from its local default location, to the local custom location, it mirrored that operation on the cloud somehow. I think I lost some data during this issue.

We configured dropbox for the whole team to online-only and that seem to fix the problem, but now I am worried about backup. I'm starting to think that my dropbox team folder is getting too big and its causing issues with syncing.

So I have been thinking about an archive solution where I would only store a few years worth of data on the team folder and then archive the rest off-site.

The problem is that I dont know the best solution for this situation. I run a small business with 5 employees. Most of the solutions out there that address my problem are for organizations way larger than mine. Does anyone have any experience with an issue like this that could point me in the right direction?

I'd rather not setup a computer to perform this operation on my end and am looking for some kind of cloud solution, or a client that can run along side my dropbox client that I could manage independently of the dropbox online-only configuration.

Or maybe I should be looking at a different cloud solution?
I mean, you don't have to wait for AIs to make that garbage.

TL;DR: It feels like React interacts the reverse of how I think, but Svelte feels like it promises some of the straight-forwardness I used to know 25 years ago.

As a backend person who last touched the frontend when jQuery was all the rage, I spent the last two weekends starting to get familiar with React and then Svelte. I really, really like what I've seen in Svelte so far. It makes sense. I can reason about what components talk to which other components and how, more easily than in React. After 8 hours of a React tutorial (which had several incompatibilities from the version in which the tutorial was written that I had to reason through), and after going through the Svelte tutorial for maybe half that at learn.svelte.dev, I came away feeling confident I can build a site in Svelte and not entirely sure what that would look like in React. I had to start looking at other projects in React to understand how I should organize my secure part of my site vs my public parts. It is clear in Svelte, for instance, where I can enable server side rendering on my more marketing / landing focused pages and how to group pages via the directory structure that require authentication.
In this thread, I am "running defence" for his right to choose a programming language that's not Rust. I don't think that's going too far.

I don't really feel that, so it's not obvious to me.
Emma can write again thanks to a prototype watch for Parkinson’s disease
Evidence based medicine (EBM) = population, intervention, comparison and outcome (PICO). In other words, PICO = RCT Randomized Control Trials. To me, EBM is medical instrumentalism (instrumentalism is one of philosophies of sciences): pick a treatment that works, without understanding the underlying mechanism. Even today, we use many drugs with unknown mechanisms of action[0].

Often times, you can find cures just by discovering mechanism of action, without PICO/RCT: for example, Helicobacter pylori causing peptic ulcers.

Placebo effect is NOT magic, but we don't understand the mechanism. Good relationship between doctors and patients help recover patients. Patients prefer to see particular doctors, even if the latter prescribe same medications as others, yet the differential effects on patients (when treated by preferred doctors vs others) is non-trivial.

Yup. I tried Codium and gave up after I couldn’t connect to the docker containers for debugging. It’s pretty much the only use for VS Code I have and Codium can’t do that.
Buildah, specifically after struggling with containerfiles/dockerfiles nonsense, entrenched beliefs that agree with the author of the article. Dockerfiles are just an obnoxiously limited DSL that make all the worst assumptions (especially concerning layering), while providing nearly no flexibility. Buildah (when not using buildah bud) lets you write a container build script in the scripting language of your choice - most likely bash - and puts you in charge of layering.

I mean, sure, you don't get that automagic in-between later reuse - but I've rarely come across a project that does the magic incantations to get that to work anyway. Rather delegate the rarely changing stuff to a base image, probably updating in CI.
Sad to say, but yes, about half way in the piece degenerates to standard right-wing rant:

> The present ruling class, by contrast, does not appear to wish to improve the people but apparently seeks to make them worse. ...
> There is Zero evidence of any caste-based discrimination across the Americas in workplace today.

That seems to be factually untrue. And you can't cite the lack of court cases as evidence, because court cases aren't brought unless there's a law in the first place.

> I would like to get away from my religion and caste. This bill makes it impossible.

No, the bill is a path to do precisely that. What you're saying makes as much sense as "passing anti-racism laws makes it impossible to get away from race as issue". That's not how it works.
I just installed vscodium on my manjaro machine. It built from the AUR source.

I’m sure you could diff the source code the package used, and the upstream Microsoft git SHA it is claims to be derived from:

Incidentally, there is now an open source remote mode extension, so I have no reason to use the proprietary version. No more telemetry from me!

You are taking the wrong lesson from the article if you think they are saying every (or even most) senior developers should be doing this. You absolutely don't want every senior developer spending their time mentoring/working with junior developers, but having a couple of those people on the team is a force multiplier and benefits the team as a whole. They may not have realized it when they hired him, but he found a useful niche and once the company identified it they should have changed his role to make it official.
I think that not just on macOS, but generally in desktop software, the older, more mature, more "boring" option is going to be best in the long run even if getting up and running is faster in newer stuff. Of course platform devs would like you to think otherwise because they want buy-in for their new frameworks, but buy-in is earned. New frameworks might eventually be great, but it's going to be a while before they're able to compete with the likes of frameworks such as AppKit, which have legacies stretching back 3+ decades. That's a lot of time to allow for refinement and better covering of common use cases.

It's somewhat true on mobile, too, though to a lesser extent because mobile UI widgets don't need to be as functional, which makes it easier for new things to compete — for instance a table view with sortable, rearrangable columns and column headers is practically unheard of on mobile whereas it's a cornerstone widget on desktop. For user-facing platforms the web is the odd exception where it's somewhat the norm to jump for the latest trendy shiny thing on new projects.
Then tell me, why did they remove the video? Isn't this confirming my diagnosis?
I gave another example as well. I'm also not spewing any "hate" or "bile" for an inanimate operating system.

To make this easier to understand, please give me an example of what's missing from Mac or Windows and I'll share the way it can easily be accomplished in a native environment. After that, we can try to do the same for ChromeOS and you'll see where the holes appear.

Fugu is about slowly moving Mac and Windows functions to the web, but ChromeOS exists RIGHT NOW. Thus, if it were for that platform, there would be urgency and full support across the board. Because they don't care about filling all those holes, they choose not to support every API.

That was my point. Windows and Mac don't need Fugu to function. ChromeOS does. Still, Windows and Mac needs are prioritized over ChromeOS.

I also noticed you deftly ahem cherry-picked around the lack of server support on a web-first operating system, but that's neither here nor there.

I hate yaml with a passion. It marginally better than xml for reading (wins huge on comment syntax) and worse for everything else. It makes zero sense we somehow ended up with it as standard configuration serialization format.

Note yaml is not a DSL. It's a tree serialization format! Everything interesting is happening after it is parsed. Extreme examples point to e.g. github actions conditions.
