I struggle to follow along with this. I understand Moore's law, but at what point can we just keep using 7nm for most things instead of always moving down an integer 3>7. How many things will require a 2nm and not be satisfied by a 7nm fab?
The cafeteria at Visa in San Mateo used smart cards in 1998.

There were startups focused on smart cards in the 90s:

Anecdotal experience can often be misleading, that's why statistics are valuable. It's clear that at least some students are returning, and now thanks to rampant racism in US a lot of ethnic Chinese scientists are going back to China.

At the end of the day, a single individual can educate many thousands of people or produce high quality research that will advance the country. There's a pretty famous case of this Qian Xuesen who is the father of Chinese space program. He got his education in US, and then left to China during the red scare.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qian_Xuesen

Many thousands of people like him are doing the same today.

And finally, researches are leaving Europe for China nowadays as well https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-07-19/china-...

However, all that aside, the most important point is that China has a very good education system that's accessible to everyone, and they have a large population. This is coupled with government having a lot of direction over the industry and actively funding the types of research and technology development that's strategic for China. This is a recipe for success.
Erasure coding is only used for local duplication. If you have cross-site or cross-machine copies, you really don't want the speed of the rebuild to be dominated by available network bandwidth.
I once cooked an egg with the sunlight hitting the window/mirrors of the Cité Mondiale building in Bordeaux. It was a really hot day, it took about an hour, it was the best fried egg I ever had.

How is "extinction" accurately used in this context?

And why are players expected to remain "loyal" to a stroke?

This headline is oddly phrased.

It appears to be a misuse of language, possibly for clickbait purposes.
Consider however that 7 nm (TSMC N7, Intel 10ESF/Intel 7, Samsung 8/7 nm) is universally a DUV (193 nm light) process using multipatterning. The nodes below are universally EUV. That's a step-change in complexity. If "The West" manages to contain EUV to friendly countries, then it doesn't seem unlikely to me at all that Chinese semiconductors will run into the EUV wall and get stuck for a significant amount of time trying to get over it.
I haven't noticed anything. I follow some video game and hobby subs through RSS. Everything is pretty much the same.
There's a reason they call them externalities. When you use fancy terminology for "not my problem", you gain legitimacy.
We need a senator to fix this.

YouTube is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be copyright and if they are copyright, when you put your video in, it gets in line, and it's going to be taken down by anyone that holds onto enormous amounts of copyright material, enormous amounts of copyright of material.
I have the same impression. Frankly some of mine have gotten better after the replacement mods have less of a stick up their ass. A couple have even changed posting rules to be less restrictive, like allowing people to talk about ROM sites.
I know you got it.

But. For anyone who was me. I went so many years not getting the Tinker Tailor reference. I “read” the book years ago after seeing the movie. Yep.

It’s a variation of the rhyme we learned as “eenie-meenie miney-mo.” It names jobs, and replaces the schoolyard rhyme’s 4th job with “spy.”

That version actually makes sense, while the version I grew up with sounds like the gibberish of which we accuse the brits ;)

(I’m sure all of that was clear in the book and the movie. But I know I just helped at least one other person with ADD!)

Edit: I’ll save you the google. It’s “tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor” in 1930’s UK schoolboy parlance. That’s the clever bit that wooshed me

> To get grants in academia now (particularly in some spaces), you have to justify how it will have some form of social justice impact.

Correct. You need to show that your grant can “change the world” which is just another way of saying “create power”. And for whom? Who does this “research” or “studies” or “the science” (which isn’t actually science) give a claim to knowledge and thus power?

Follow the money as the journalists say.

So whatever you want to study has to generate power for someone. If your findings don’t show evidence of something that doesn’t then you’ll just stop receiving money and the ability to work. So of course academics have responded this way because it’s the incentive. It’s why everything is a “crisis”, etc.
Isn't part of the copyright law that companies must defend their right in the short-term, else it's effectively forfeiting the protection in the future? In order words, you can't cherry pick. They have to be thorough and consist, else they're potentially creating a loop hole; a loop hole that might hang themselves.

Note: Not defending Sony or any Big Inc, simply wonder how the law is written and how that drives corporate behavior.

Even as something of a film buff, I find Criterion pretty Euro art house heavy for my taste. It's really not something I'd want a steady diet of.
I wouldn't exactly call SLU a "neighborhood." They chased out the poor people who used to live there, built Amazon's headquarters and a bunch of ugly condos and apartments that will probably fall down in a decade.

If SLU is your model for what California Forever could be... uh... I don't think that many people will willingly choose to live there.
That poor emitter-upside-down BJT will degrade quickly and won't be fit to be used for normal amplification purposes - noise increases, hFE will go down and all kind of bad things will happen to it. So if you are planning to experiment with it, do not reuse that BJT for analog purposes.

>>The war on drugs doesn’t stop people from using drugs yet many people are in prison because of drugs.

Governments can engage in broad based prohibitions that affect large subsections of the population, but they are less likely to do that than imposing restrictions on smaller subsets of the population who constitutes chokepoints through which a much larger number of people can be prevented from engaging in an interaction.

Earlier I made the point that:

The administrative and political cost of imposing authoritarian policies increases in proportion to the size of the set of parties that need to have their actions restricted to effectively enforce the policy.

That does not imply that growing the size of the minimal set of parties whose actions need to be restricted for the state to successfully repress a class of interactions guarantees that that class of interactions will not be repressed. It means that fewer governments, in fewer contexts, will pursue a prohibition, as the size of that set grows.

If you're looking for a silver bullet that guarantees a people will live free of tyranny, then the blockchain is not it. It is just one of many institutions that counteract the tendency toward repression. And that's the best any institution can ever be.

>>The solution to, the government is extrajudicially spying on our transactions and without due process blocking people from their finances, is not a system that uses an immutable public ledger. It’s reforming the law to protect people’s right to privacy and due process. It’s getting rid of the authoritarian government that strips people of their rights and freedoms.

The solution is to pursue both. When the political track fails, a non-political check on the power of the state—like wide adoption of cash—can potentially save a people from greater levels of tyranny.
The water seems to have got harder over the 6-12months I've noticed scale building up more frequently and in places never previously seen, so I wouldnt be surprised to see a rise in calcium related illnesses.

The water hardness has got so bad we now just buy deionised water for the kettle and are currently looking to purchase water filters to make the water as close to deionised water as possible, because having a relaxing soak in the bath has gone even though the medical experts claim ions cant be absorbed through the skin.
I personally stopped visiting Reddit on regular basis after all these actually.
probably paranoid - was just wondering if you could get hit for claiming to have legitimate Tom and Jerry videos for download if you didn't have the trademark for Tom and Jerry.
As others have said, EMV doesn't have to phone home, and London's TfL system often doesn't straight away because they might not even have a connection (my bus this morning definitely didn't). It's also not charging the payment immediately, because the charge is unknown at that point - you might not know until the end of the day or week what the charge is, because travel rates are capped and dependent on the zones you're traveling in.

As to the gates being default closed, well, gates at train/tube stations can accept a range of things being presented to them including smartphone/watch payments, bank card contactless, Oyster card, Oyster season tickets, paper tickets with magnetic stripes, paper/magnetic season tickets, and Freedom passes (technically a special sort of Oyster season ticket, I think).

If you're traveling with a paper/magnetic ticket, you're going to have to insert it into the mag reader and wait for it to spit it out before it opens the gates. Can't be swiped.

That, combined with the fact TfL already have a problem with revenue protection (some people jump gates), albeit not quite as bad as you'll see in most of Paris or Rome, means they're going to keep the gates closed by default.

Fare dodging in Tokyo is almost unthinkable. Social constructs mean they can do something at those gates few other cities of that size can get away with.
Meh. We almost got arrested when we walked into a movie together holding hands in Irvine. After 10 minutes of harassment by the mall-cops they eventually let us go.

Word of warning, Irving is not a safe space for queer folk.
Hi cebert,

Would you kindly define what you mean by "misused" ?

?

Doesn't LinkedIn require that users accept someone else's connection request BEFORE they are permitted to send a message to them?

?

Wouldn't you have had to previously accept the connection requests of various recruiters -- BEFORE they could message you on LinkedIn?

?

Your concern, if I am understanding it correctly, is that you hope that recruiters on LinkedIn, recruiters who are permitted to message you, recruiters whose invitations to connect you have previously accepted -- your concern is that those recruiters could potentially "misuse" this messaging API (Couldn't any API theoretically be "misused" (a subjective term) by any party at any time for any purpose?) by sending you recruitment messages without specific details about a company they're recruiting for?

?

Why wouldn't you simply ask them for more details if you were open to work, or politely ask them to stop messaging you if you weren't?

Or revoke the connection outright?

?

So... would you kindly define what you mean by "misused" ?

?
Well, Coleman (who played the drums) died homeless and broke. So it's not just the bad record industry, unfortunately.

You just have to sign-out and look at the homepage to see this. It's all attention grabbing subs like AITAH or "amiugly" or "ratemyface" etc etc etc. All the interesting subs have withered away and died. Take /r/3dprinting for example, there used to be cool new models shared there every single day, now it's just people sharing pictures of benchies, globs of spaghetti and the odd question from someone that hasn't done any research.
> Competitive tennis is becoming more about strength and height

Is that really the case? At present, the world's #1 and #2 men's players are 6'1" and 6'2" respectively. And both well under 200 pounds. These are not giant musclemen by anybody's reckoning. Nadal and Federer were also both 6'1" and quite slim.

It seems to me that tennis is about agility, coordination, and reaction time -- and that great height and remarkable muscle bulk are somewhat disfavored.

The two-handed backhand is apparently a shorter and biomechanically more efficient movement than its single-handed equivalent, is all. And at the top levels of sport, with so much on the line, every small advantage counts.

Curl is very widely used and has a ton of features which means that it gets a lot of CVEs, but their severity is often significantly overstated for users outside of specific niche configurations - for marketing purposes, it’s nice to be able to say that you found a HIGH in libcurl without mentioning that it only affected Windows domain authentication on ARM. The lead developer has written about this providing a lot of noise without much tangible security benefit:

Reddit started charging huge money for API access. Thing is, reddits leadership are wildly incompetent and those APIs were relied upon by the mods to actually handle the vast oceans of posts that go on each day.

Its left the mods with greatly increased workload as they now need to use the crappy tools Reddit gives them, and for some communities like the folks on /r/blind the site is totally unusable.

Most subreddits have ended the protests, and those that don't have had their mod teams forceably replaced, usually be people who are more interested in being mods than actually moderating.

Reddit had hundreds, if not a thousand people willing to work for free managing their site for them and they still screwed it up, just unbelievable stuff.

It'd be useful to know what the end goal is for ThePhd, like what would be a satisfactory outcome for them?

What happened to them was hurtful, I understand and sympathise with that. However when one steps back and reads their responses, coupled to an extent with their writing (of course someone else would reach a diff conclusion), they appear to be an aggressive and maybe even vindictive character.

You can't really quit the way you did, and then still dangle things like [0]. People who utter such things out can portray an "I'll get you" attitude.

Then when someone responds and you're unhappy with their response, you agress and call them a mtherfcker [1].

Some might consider it to be too late, however some form of mediation might still be necessary.

It seems like perfectly reasonable succinct shorthand for "a technique that isn't taught and rarely used any longer." People really need to stop calling anything that isn't a detailed abstract "clickbait."
Invasive species pose major global threats to nature, economies, and health
Might be because 3.5 disks outnumbered in production quantities any other kind of floppy disk, thus the average quality was lower? Massive production lowers costs, so to keep sane margins they just decreased quality?
Or is there any theory about the technology itself being less reliable?
Not the publication but giving a bit more context: Since the learning of 1/2HB is established most of the time during the player development, the issue is if someone does not learn and stick with a particular way of backhand it's quite unlikely or almost impossible to switch when you're a high performance athlete.

Let's say that this is not a "stroke" (for the lack of a better comparison) ask a player to switch from 1HB to 2HB it's more or less hard (I think it's harder) as change your swing as a Golf player.
And a couple variations [1][2]. I found all of these to be inspirational and brought back fond memories of the early days of Something Awful.

Argo is kind of antithetical to what this project is trying to solve. This project wants to be a Dockerfile like approach to Kubernetes. It focuses on simplicity. ArgoCD is decidedly not that, even if longer term something like that is the more correct way to manage production deployments.

I could see this project being picked up by some dev who just wants it on the cluster then an SRE ports it to something like Argo. Ideally the dev should learn Argo in the first place but a world where every dev understands what Argo is doing feels pretty unrealistic.

Side note (kind of off topic but I’ve been thinking about Argo a lot lately) I’ve been a bit more bearish on Argo for non production environments because it encourages pets and not cattle. I think nowadays the correct way to do environments is a gitops production cluster and dynamic pushed based ephemeral environments that are spawned from that production configuration and templates accordingly. Actually maybe it isn’t off topic: that’s what I’d like to see to offer to developers: some tool that is easily configurable like this that spawns ephemeral environments and deployments based off a checked in production grade configuration template like you would get with Argo
I really think you may be overestimating how much the average person cares about 'status'. Or wants to advertise it, quite frankly. I wear pretty much the same stuff as I did when I earned a tenth what I do now.

Not saying that no-one cares about it, but I don't really buy that it's "most normal people".

Though, it may be somewhat regional and/or generational; my impression is that my approximate generation (late X, early millennial) may be less concerned with it that either early Xes or late millennials.
There is archival quality data hoarding like you’re doing, and then there’s “this YouTube channel is interesting and I don’t want to lose it, yt-dlp to a USB drive”.

Not being able to do the former doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do the latter, especially if the risk is “real”.

I doubt offline cash-like electronic money will ever happen.

Like others also already mentioned, we also had a system like this 30 years ago for vending machines and cafeteria in a large corp.

Banks want tracking (for customer profiling). Governments wants tracking (for anti-terrorism and anti-money-laundering). So it won't happen.
Most people don't want to deal with data. So the idea that someone else will deal with the data is attractive to most people. It's as simple as that really. I used to work at a non-profit and we dealt with a lot of video and we spent a lot of time keeping that stuff organized and preventing data corruption.
I was going to say "meh. you have to try harder," but the last paragraph made sense to me. The "real world" will make you feel isolated and alone unless you put in A LOT of work to find a social / friends group. And I think you have a point that college campuses are sort of set up to make socializing easier (if not easy.)

So... congrats... you changed someone's opinion on HN comments. I'm not sure it happens THAT often.
I’m curious to know when exactly that practice ended in Western Europe and North America. As a millennial, the only time I ever encountered it was in 2008 in an outdoor shop in Thamel, Kathmandu’s backpacker ghetto. The owners said that they could not accept my Visa Electron card (standard European debit card) because it was not a real credit card, and they showed me the machine they used to take imprints of real credit cards. Of course, this was all gone by my next visit to Nepal a couple of years later.
This is a meme but it’s not a bad metaphor at all, and the Senator was unfairly maligned for using it.

I'm the organizer who gave the invite. It was indeed explicitly framed as "you can talk about whatever you want". In my opinion it was pretty obvious this is what JeanHeyd would talk about before the invite went out. He told us about the topic in that same call. There was a member of project leadership in the call as well, no concerns were raised about the topic. The first time JeanHeyd learned of any concerns with it was when project leadership asked me to downgrade the talk
