> "require any American person or company to receive an export license prior to engaging with PRC (People's Republic of China) entities on RISC-V technology."

How would that end up working?

I've seen situations in which exports restrictions came up, and which resulted in design or manufacturing being restructured, so that more work was shifted to be done in the restricted country. Which also meant that more know-how was developed in the restricted country. Which I don't think was the (ostensible) intended outcome. It might've had short-term benefits for some companies, though.
Right, the name makes sense. People made it ambiguous because they often believe it means vector search.

I don't think that's correct, but if you look in this discussion, that's the reality of usage. So that makes it ambiguous in practice.
Huge difference to iPhones: they're not connected to the open internet for browsing, downloading files, receiving messages or email.

(The US Navy also has a support contract beyond end-of-life for XP versions, even still as of 2022, for a handful of their own programs on warships, because it's too much expense and delay of recertifying on new PCs. https://www.quora.com/Is-the-U-S-Navy-still-using-Windows-XP and other sources.)

Quite the opposite! Much work had to be done to force both husbands and wives into monogamy over the course of thousands of years. If anything, our evolutionary instincts are the other way around.

> "I fear that our export-control laws are not equipped to deal with the challenge of open-source software - whether in advanced semiconductor designs like RISC-V or in the area of AI - and a dramatic paradigm shift is needed," Warner said in a statement to Reuters.

This is clearly an attack on open source. Seems incredibly odd that they use the word "export" to refer to information (that is to say: speech)

I really wonder which corporations are lobbying for this stupidity, I'd like to hear some fucking names so I can boycott them
I won’t claim without data that polyamorous couples do worse on divorce rates, but most people’s mental story of polyamory is a couple decided they want to be polyamorous, and then one feels insecure and the other one leaves them for the third.

Polyamory doesn’t spark disapproval so much as skepticism.
You can't, in the same way as with x86 and ARMs widely used today. Frankly, most people simply do not care. They gladly accept shit like Intel ME, so it's a lost battle.

At least, with RISC-V there is a chance we will get full stack open hardware implementations. They likely will be far from the cutting edge, but sufficient for many applications.
Postgres with PGVector is the best database, plus vectors.

All of the "Vector DBs" suffer horribly when trying to do basic things.

Want to include any field that matches a field in an array of keys? Easy in SQL. Requires an entire song and dance in Pinecone or Weaviate.

After implementing Chroma, Weaviate, Pinecone, Sqlite with HNSW indices and Qdrant-- I'm not impressed. Postgres is measurably faster since so much relies on pre-filtering, joins, etc.

It's only anomalous in that it's the one that happened to survive. As the industry matured, players consolidated, and there were more benefits to one dominant architecture with a few implementations than multiple architectures. At some point, CPUs got so complex the instruction set became more of an API than anything actually rooted in hardware, extending the lifespan of the instruction set even longer.

.NET Web API is where it's at. I built an Express backend today and it feels primitive. The new minimal templates Web API templates are really good and even easier to get rolling than Express.

> Only a very small percentage of suburbanites are close to a private school.

I just used Esri geoenrichment tools to create maps of private schools (based on SIC code lookup) in the LA area, central Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Your assertion doesn't hold. There are multiple private schools in every local suburban area I've looked into. Or did you have a particular area in mind? (or maybe you meant to say "rural"?)

Southern California alone (south of San Luis Obispo) has 962 religious private elementary schools, and that's not counting the nonreligious, Montessori, preparatory schools, etc. Even charter schools in California (not counted either) often present excellent competition to traditional public schools, primarily because through them parents have greater choice (and no tuition!).
I feel like she points out a lot of reasonable constraints. I don’t think she really overcomes many of them. You just won’t get a reliable survey on such things. But that’s ok. A sample of Vore fforumers is probably just as interesting as Vore festishists. I don’t think it needs to generalize at all.

Not really, no. Firstly, such image-generation models are based on mathematical concepts (it's literally math all the way down). I don't see the problem you raise about artistic jobs, because it doesn't seem like they're disappearing anytime soon. It's not the AI model that'll replace artists, but other artists using the AI models.

Also, could you please cite your statement about "extremely similar images" being created?
I don't know if this is true, but Microsoft (or Cutler ) allegedly stole some of the MICA source code and used it in Windows NT.

While it indeed has American roots and a huge amount of development is done today by American citizens, various people and companies from China, India, Japan, South Korea, Russia, and many European countries have significant contributions as well.

Nope. It's "owned" by the RISC-V International Association registered in Switzerland.

If anything, it's a relic of the Abrahamic faiths and their influence over Western cultures. Many other cultures have practiced polygamy since antiquity.

> I’m happy to see polyamory becoming more mainstream.

I've only ever met one single couple where true polyamory worked over the long term, and they just celebrated 20 years together. They are an odd awesome couple that are extremely well matched. [They don't have kids.]

I even worked for Kink[dot]com (NSFW) for 4 years and I've thrown hundreds of sex parties with hundreds of people going bonkers all night long (and often into the next day). I've tried it myself in a few relationships and I'm happy that people experiment with it.

But, I strongly doubt it'll ever be mainstream. I'm pretty convinced at this point that it'll always remain a fringe fantasy for the majority of the population. Especially outside of the bubble of certain very small parts of the world.

During boot, display a message: "Bootloader unlocked. Non-Apple-approved software has been installed. Unless you did this, the device may be compromised. To factory-reset the device, do the following.."

There are already phones that notify you of bootloader lock state. In fact, tamper-evident devices are a very old technology. It is only because it is profitable to them, does Apple pretend they don't exist.
Half-devil advocating here, but is this the end of the world?

Right now, we have software that we expect that keeps being updated, but the company gets a one time payment. With a subscription, things get more stable financially and the company can adjust the budget accordingly.

It also incentivized keeping Windows good and working so those subscriptions don't get cancelled.
Started writing a comment then noticed how much of the article is just quotes, so I’ll summarise instead of directly quoting and recommend reading it for additional context.

These kids are exactly the sort of overachievers and desperate to climb the ladder types you are probably thinking off… They didn’t need to drink the LinkedIn corporate-positivist cool aid, they were born in it, raised by it.

They are fully and un-ironically engaging in the performative positivism that makes LinkedIn intolerable to most adults with a greater degree of life (and adult social interaction) experiences… and because of how bad other social platforms have become some of them seem to like the little happy bubble that LinkedIn creates. The fact LinkedIn is just a different kind of toxic lie filled cesspool is not something they have realised yet because, to borrow an apt phrase I once heard “the naïveté of youth blinds you to the truth”, and they haven’t yet developed sufficient cynicism to see how shallow, meaningless and dishonest the majority of LinkedIn content is.

There’s a quote at the end from someone who sees the problem for what it is, the fact kids are now getting pressured into the business world before even getting into College or postgraduate work. But the standout quote is from their exemplar teen that likes linkedin where they quote one of his humblebrags, and it’s at that point it becomes obvious to me that that kid is already a walking talking business adult who has had their childhood destroyed before they even left college.
Probably more like 64 KB, assuming 6502 second processor...

The mighty awk: a great tool, but not the one I start with teaching people interested in applying computational methods. What I notice is that it moves 'too quick' on prompt execution--great for sysadmins, developers and on the job data analysts, but a 'slower' tool is often easier for newcomers to get their heads around, who'd often like to see what happens between steps as well as natural language error messages when something goes wrong.

KNIME, Orange and GSheets + Apps Script fill this niche to some extent (and I've been wanting to give ENSO Lang a try), enabling rapid prototyping, iteration and visual clues when steps fail.

Then, through repeatedly running the same steps in these environments, it suddenly 'clicks' for some that many of the data preprocessing steps follow a similar pattern, and that much time can be saved using scripting. You have to tease out this eagerness somewhat, by having learners first run through the more arduous process of clicking, dragging, navigating and debugging through a 'slow' interface.

In this regard, some have started to create workflows and test suites around software onboarding, which will yield some valuable insights into what pedagogical strategies work best for different computational skill levels [0][1][2].

Thanks dang, I'm certainly willing to consider it. I don't think the HN crowd is actually a great target market, though. So I wasn't super surprised that it didn't get much traction. Let me give it some thought.
It's a spec, explicitly not owned by anyone (if it is it's by a Swiss based consortium) - the hardware people build from the spec may not be opensource (though many are)
Macs manage memory and swap in a way that makes them feel much more responsive when you have a lot of common applications open at once (or something like a lot of browser tabs at once), but if you’re literally doing a single task that uses a given amount of ram, you need that much ram or you’ll slow way down.
Infant optics
It's puzzling to read the statement that China "abuses" open technology not controlled by a country or a business entity. China's contribution to RISC-V, as well as that of other countries, is not restricted and can be freely used by anyone and any country.

If this kind of sabotage against open technologies by the US because the "CCP uses it" truly materializes, it would mark a significant decline in the US spirit, which is originally about confidence, openness, and entrepreneurship.

This is great advice, thanks! Since you mention the kindle niche, what did you do when you encountered that frustration? I feel like the people I actually had in mind when building this are not technical enough to realize they even have a problem that can be easily solved.
Ask HN: How do I transfer Google Domains to Squarespace? Automatic or manual?
Now that Squarespace will be the new registrar for all existing google domains, how will it actually work?

It also says that after transition there will be a squarespace account from where I can manage my domains.

So do I just wait? I'm nervous idk why.
No, they absolutely cannot be answered objectively. Some people will be very happy living in a rural setting with nobody else around, while it would drive other people absolutely bonkers. The same is true for "city living". Different people have different personal preferences about what constitutes happiness, and these preferences vary widely.
You need to find ways that work - Chinese (and American, or Russian or North Korean) vendors can publish their masks, their RTL, if they want to be trusted.

I have preferred self-checkouts for over a decade, and I usually avoid grocery stores without them. The user experience is simply superior to traditional checkouts. I can proceed at my own pace, and there is no forced interaction with a random person.

The UIs are also superior to the vast majority of web/mobile software I use, because they rarely change. After a year or two, you just get used to them. And when you visit a foreign country, you often find that they use the same software there as well.
I've looked into the "why" of that, since I, too, wondered why a design that comes from the University of Berkeley (the home of BSD) lives there: international legal protection and tax reasons.

That said, because of that, you could also say it belongs to the entire world, equally, and I would be happy with that description as well; but politicians don't really understand those words, and only think in terms of tribal football.
False dichotomy. I can be against letting people sell fake products and be against forcing people to not buy the kind of car they want.

In fact, that's so uncoupled of a false dichotomy, it's more like a non sequitur. I wonder how you got there.
Instant downvote, “Professional victim”, “outraged”… yeah, it seem like it’ll be super productive to have a conversation with you.

It’s certainly impossible that people hurt by, say, racism might have legitimate concerns about the virulent spread of more racism by actual, literal racists on 4chan. No, it’s actually black people, for instance, who dislike racism, or Jews who think anti-demotion is bad, who are to blame.

Brilliant.
Oh please, what is Intel Management Engine and AMD Platform Security Processor? that is the most obvious and blatant backdoor in every Intel/AMD chip there is.

I am tired as someone from a third country to get "national security" be used as an excuse to fight a trade war. Every single electronic is way more expensive as a result, damaging peoples livelihoods because we want to maintain our ridiculous huge profit margin per sale.

the quote sounds like it came from someone who didn't really fully grasp the phrase and the implications of what 'export control' might look like in reference to open-source.

Half answering the sibling here as well. I built this as a PhD student in the humanities (where we use a lot of undigitized texts). I constantly ended up cleaning up PDFs and OCRing them for my own use, and this was an excessive optimization of that process.

The market that is obvious from that starting point is other PhD students in the humanities—sciences tend to read more recent content (so more likely to be digitized), and in the sciences it's more likely to be digitized anyway.

I have a few contacts in libraries, and some interest, but I figure testing out the product on more peers is better to begin with. This discussion is making me think I should pursue library level usage, though.

Except outside America where it’s metric… also as someone who’s gone hunting for commercial space before, it’s kinda only 97% true that it’s always per year… there’s an irritating countercurrent of people that try and trick you into thinking something overpriced is a bargain by quoting the inflated prices at 1/12th the cost because that’s the monthly not the yearly, and people who just deliberately want to game various “by lowest price” sorting mechanisms on property listings websites.
This logic has partly informed my decision to just paywall it, but it does increase the barrier to entry. And don't take my acknowledgement of an area of weakness as an excuse, take it as an awareness of where I need to focus energy ;)

I thought this would be the default case too, but it's surprisingly nuanced.

One red flag is anyone wanting to open a monogamous relationship that isn't more-or-less rock solid. Polyamory isn't something to try if you're uncertain about your current monogamous partner.

The ideal case is for someone to go into the dating pool as openly polyamorous. But this will take a couple more generations, I think. Most people don't have the opportunity, because the idea that we need to choose a single partner has been hammered into us from the moment we were born. So I'm sympathetic to people who want to put in the work of exploring whether polyamory is possible within the bounds of an existing relationship.

The most important thing is communication. There will be misunderstandings, but at no point should someone feel like something is being hidden from the other. That's different than respecting each person's individual relationships – one is underhanded, the other is a social contract.

This isn't directly related to your point, but https://www.unicorns-r-us.com/ was an interesting read.
