Hey HN! I wanted to share an experiment I ran that tests the performance of RSC vs traditional client-side React on one of our product websites (productonboarding.com). I know RSC is a bit of a controversial topic since server-side rendering used to be an ancient paradigm with the shift to modern JS frameworks. As such, I went into the experiment with a healthy dose of skepticism.

To test this out, I conducted an experiment where I built an RSC version and a traditional client-side React version of the same website and measured performance. We were able to improve our bundle size and speed by 62% and 63%, respectively. You can find the whole writeup here. https://frigade.com/blog/bundle-size-reduction-with-rsc-and-...

I actually enjoyed building with RSC more than I expected to, and it made for a better user experience since it rendered almost 3x faster than the client version.

Would love to hear any feedback and thoughts on our experiment. Have you started to use React Server Components yet, or no? Have you seen similar results?

There is something like this for QEMU on Linux hosts. It's called "Inter VM SHared MEMory" (IVSHMEM) [1].

Hyper-V has something akin to this that they call "Hyper-V sockets" [2]. But it seems it only works between guest and host.

> While I know and respect many people who have worked on C++ and contributed to it, we need to move on from it.

This has largely happened already. Java is in fact a memory safe language which has replaced a whole lot of C++ code since the late 1990s. It's only in a few highly performance-oriented areas where the debate ("should we be replacing C++ with a memory safe language?") is still undecided.

I've never heard of a publicly traded company that allows employees to buy/sell options on their stock, and I'm willing to bet that the fine print at most places includes companies you're soon to acquire/be acquired from.

Is that "grapevine" public? If not, it is by definition material non-public information.

In general in finance if you think you've found some clever exploit in the system that you're surprised no one else is taking advantage of, it's a good idea to double and triple check that it is in fact a legal exploit. Especially if you stand to gain millions off of something that seems easy to do.
It feels like this bug has only really flown down under the radar because the discoverers are not in the habit of giving bugs names and landing pages. Both because of level of access (remote code execution), the vector (image rendering, often done with untrusted data) and the widespread nature of the affected library.

> But consumer cpus use less power and having a lot of them means you can be granular with power usage and use a lot less power.

Unfortunately, this simply isn't true. There's quite a bit of "fixed" power consumption that doesn't scale with usage -- DRAM controllers, PCIe, Ethernet PHYs, etc. Not only does that power consumption not go away when a machine isn't being used, but it's all also incurred per machine that's running, so a network of many small computers will also use a lot more power on these constant loads.

> I would also challenge that using more power is not a problem if your energy sourcre is nuclear or renewable.

I would love to live in a world where that were the case. Sadly, it is not. Renewable does not mean free.

Hancock is a charlatan of the worst kind, in that I firmly believe he fully knows the vast majority of what he says is utter bullshit, but he keeps on saying it because it's garnering him a ton of money and attention. "They" (rightly, mind you) call him crazy for claiming the pyramids are 12000 years old, despite huge volumes of verifiable evidence strongly refuting such claims (Literally 100s of carbon dates from organic materials in mortar remnants between blocks, stratigraphy, lexical references like the Merer texts, etc.), and despite the lack of single shred of credible evidence for any of his claims other than his typical "This rock here looks like that rock on the other side of the world so the pyramids are 12000 years old and Atlantis is real" nonsense.

> It really looks like more "green washing" purely to the benefit of the "Bloomberg" brand.

I have no doubt that Bloomberg is doing this, at least in part, to get credit for giving $500m away to help decarbonize the economy. And yet if that was his goal he could have accomplished this in many ways. You seem to be going further and accusing him of giving $500m away in a manner that’s explicitly designed to be ineffective. That doesn’t make a ton of sense to me.
There's too much friction for Rust to be the solution, unless there are drastic changes in the near future. None of Vulkan, Metal, GTK, Qt, Cocoa, Android, iOS, or Wayland have official Rust support, and maintaining the boundary is a non-trivial task.

My gut feeling is that a different language with less friction will gain more traction.
Without an explicit contract for service, a person could not reasonably collect damages for a map not showing that a road is closed.

The driver retains responsibility for the safe operation of their vehicle; regardless of the quality of the map.

"YMMV".

No map provider could reasonably operate with liability for transient objects or trap streets in the road.

Neither could an encyclopedia operate if liable for dated information.

A maps provider could indicate uncertainty when credible data contradicts the current model; but this is not the burden of service of a maps provider indeed with terms of service.
When I bought my no-brand coloured smartlight a few years ago I explicitly passed up on Philips Hue because it now seemed to require some smartphone app, and I just wanted to use a remote control. It's simpler to use, faster to use, has a lot less moving parts, and generally "always works". While there are some use cases where an app might be a bit more convenient, I'm willing to bet that if you asked people on the street that the majority would prefer to use just a remote (I admit I have no data to back this up).

Security and privacy concerns don't even come in to play (although these do make the apps even worse)

This is a shame, because I had good experiences with my old Hue, when they still did remotes.

That's interesting. It also looks like with the `__restrict` specifier (https://godbolt.org/z/cvaYoc6zh), the clang code is similar regarding the matrix multiplication. The body of the vectorized loop itself looks identical, `.LBB0_4` in clang and `.LBB1_8` in rustc.
Those are easier to regulate. People research how large of a radiation dose is appropriate for an x-ray, or how long certain parts/materials can sustain what kinds of loads, and they can use this information to come up with appropriate regulations.

It's much harder to come up with the same kind of concrete regulations for software security (i.e., device must deliver no more than X dosage to patient). We might have to settle for forcing companies to carry exploit insurance, and make it easy to sue for breaches.

None of the images in the tweet show either premium of $22k or 5,500 option contracts (eg options on 550,000 shares). What am I missing?

The screenshots seem to show a total traded volume for yesterday of 260 contracts (26,000 shares), way smaller than what was suggested.

Furthermore, nothing makes it clear that these were all the same person. And the open interest went down that day so at least some of this volume was buying to cover.

Caseta stuff isn't perfect for every use case, but I have had absolutely 0 problems with mine.
It's worth getting a physical keyboard that's actually ergonomic, like a Keyboardio, ergodox, dactyl, or whatever. Just pick the one you are most excited about using.

It's significantly less valuable, but still worth learning an alternative keyboard layout, though Dvorak specifically isn't nearly as good as modern alternative like Colemak or Workman.

Vim is incredible for every reason except its keybinds. Technically, you can remap them, but that quickly devolves into dependency hell... learning to type using the Workman layout is why I'm an Emacs user today. One of these days I'll get around to making a truly configurable modular editor...that will most likely be an Emacs config.
The costs of security auditing already fall onto the businesses using FOSS code, though. A business just blindly incorporating code without static analysis, vulnerability checks, etc is not exercising due care.

>Algorithmically it seems to be a 8-bit byte to character mapping

Base64 is 6-bits, so there is no mapping of a single character to another single character. Changing 1 character in the input can change 1 or 2 characters in the output because each of the 6-bit "characters" are up against each other. So there is no mapping of input character to output character(s), it depends on context.

I'm aware that regular NL translations are a similar problem, but with base64, it's a much more exact and unforgiving problem, and GPT-4 seems to perform at a very high level.

The thing is, GSM is not a single specification. It is layered like the OSI model, and each layer has multiple specifications for different subsystems.

When GSM was originally specified, there was serious doubt if it would work at all on the hardware available at the time.

A GSM call has a 3.62us send window, a 3x3.62us waiting period, and a 3.62us receive slot. That’s probably hard enough to achieve on a single cell, but factor in distance to the tower as well, and the handset has to do a lot of calculations.

Once you start considering handoff between cells things get even more interesting. The handset continuously reports a list of cell towers it can “see” along with the strength of their signals from the handsets position.

Once the cell tower decides that the handset is moving out of range, it propagates a handoff message to its upstream node, which repeats this process until a suitable downstream node is found, and each cell tower is then alerted that the handset with an ongoing call is switching from/to that cell, and finally the handset is informed. The handset has no say in this process other than the list of cell towers.

All of this took place in the late 1980s, it was finalized in 1987, and modern processors at the time would be the Intel 386DX running at 12 to 40 MHz. Obviously not handsets came with a 386 processor, and when I worked on mobile phones in the early 2000s, the norm would be something like an 8 to 12 MHz 16bit platform.

Since then the specification has been revised hundreds of times. In the original specification, messaging (SMS) was an afterthought, and a way of utilizing otherwise unused bandwidth, which was normally reserved for command and control. Turns out messaging was a hit with GenX, so many changes were made to that subsequently, like EMS[1], MMS[2] and RCS[3].

Likewise focus shifted from phone calls to data, which was 4G, and to IoT and always on devices, which is what 5G is about. 4G and 5G also has increased the number of active devices possible.

Add to that WiFi calling and all the other little enhancements, and I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the specification is closer to 50,000 pages today.

Broke Rule #1 too, it seems :).
One thing that frustrates me about RTO being framed as necessary for productivity and collaboration is that, at least at my own company, leadership hasn't tried to advance beyond basic remote collaboration techniques since 2020. By that I mean, although we introduced multiple realtime collaboration tools (excellent video chat, screenshare, and whiteboarding software), we haven't invested in asynchronous ways of working at all, namely teaching people how to effectively communicate and make decisions over written communications.

And that's a real shame considering that we've always had a substantial offshore workforce, and collaborating with them has always been frustrating and unproductive for both sides. Lots of emails where each side is talking past the other, only to be resolved by a 10-minute video call that is unfortunately taking place in the early morning for one party and late at night for the other. In fact, I don't fully understand why offshoring didn't create the pressure to improve async work a lot earlier, even though the labor was very cheap and you can pretty much always find someone who will put up with those miserable hours.

Everyone has their own journey, but I got into the market without a big name on my resume by doing things in my own time that got me recognition.

Nothing particularly mind-blowing, but it got me the connections that gave me a seat at the table. Eventually I interviewed with a startup and they liked my work and pulled me onboard.
