Personally I don't think democracy scales well. It works at the "small nation state" level to the extent that it's better than anything else we've come up with, and there's a limit to what a small nation state can do while still being traded with by other countries etc.

I don't actually think democracy works well even at the scale of the USA - witness the group of old white men who have a tenacious grip on power despite being out of touch with those they "govern". Scaling it even further up makes it less and less likely to be useful, IMHO.

Democracy requires accountability to keep its leaders in line, and once the number of people a "representative" is responsible for gets past a nominal number, that representation becomes meaningless, the accountability drops, and the control over unconscionable excess recedes.

People will disagree, and that's fine - that's democracy :)
If you pay for it yourself, you can upgrade to more cores later and save a lot of money buying a used CPU.
Still what? Is there or should there be any relationship between the price for creating and delivering media and the price for creating and delivering a device that can be used to watch the media?
Yea that's probably an example - those companies get preferential treatment on the network w.r.t traffic and so competitors have a harder time entering the market.

China, despite being a major oil producer, is still a net importer [1]. America is a net exporter [2]. To a significant degree, this underlies the cultures' divergent views towards EVs.

I would love to be able to take a base model and fine-tune it on a handful of hand picked repositories that are A) in a specific language I want to use and B) stylistically similar to how I want to write code.

I’m not sure how possible that is to do, but I hope we can get there at some point.
Yep. I learned decades ago to ignore those types of incentives because they don't actually provide much (if any) benefit to me.

All they do is make everything more of a hassle.
Well - since it's open source, theoretically you can build it yourself and "trust but verify" the audit, although there we're also assuming you trust your own judgement or that of your security team.
CXL is useful for many more things beyond just memory expansion (which is a "type 3 device").

The purpose of CXL is to allow for memory coherency between different CXL devices. To quote the spec on type 2 devices:

> CXL Type 2 devices, in addition to fully coherent cache, also have memory, for example
DDR, High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM), etc., attached to the device. These devices
execute against memory, but their performance comes from having massive bandwidth
between the accelerator and device-attached memory. The main goal for CXL is to
provide a means for the Host to push operands into device-attached memory and for
the Host to pull results out of device-attached memory such that it does not add
software and hardware cost that offsets the benefit of the accelerator.

There's some cool things you can do with CXL, like resurrecting the whole persistent memory idea with low-latency flash, making hardware offload devices more capable since you now get free cache coherency, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

But yes, it's really not for consumer use-cases. The applications I've seen colleagues work on are mostly enterprise stuff like cool RDMA integrations, cache-coherent flash, and more I can't talk about here.
If nothing has happened then it's a good reason to make sure it stays that way - the law won't have an effect either way right? ;)
Anyone notice where that request goes here: https://printer.exciting.io/

Very cool stuff!
I don’t think bundling other paid services counts. It’s only if the ISP treats the traffic to/from those paid services differently that you run afoul of net neutrality.

Ozempic, a pharmaceutical brought to market in 2023, is not a counterpoint to "directly managing the sensation of hunger has been largely ignored in the conversation around diet."
No, it will be more subtle. The features you will get in software products, as a user, will get AI-ified. Mostly for cost reasons. What it means, instead of building a proper feature that works correctly and handles all the edge cases, AI will be invoked to resolve the discrepancies and "make it work". It will mostly work, but will be less reliable and understandable. The end result will be more shifting of burden of errors from the software companies to users.
That's spelled `errors='surrogateescape'` but it's a horrible hack and doesn't fix the main lies that strings propogate.
This is why we the millennials and more importantly gen z must vote and actively and loudly participate in the political process.

Right now, the government is preventing wages from going up in a (futile) attempt to keep prices low for retirees and soon to be retirees who are on fixed income.
This is NOT what we want.
We want wages to go up as corporate profits go up.
The flask-login package should have limited its dependencies to flask<3.0, that's what major versions are for.
I'm surprised that it is not known on HN. This is standard developed to enable different server configurations in the data center from what I've read through the years. The universal interconnect allows for adding and removing devices without special allowances for each device type as far as I get it.

It might work for laptops, but it is not the main goal and it might be only Framework who will do something in that direction.
So, there is an abundance of evidence by now that the more power is held at the top, the more determined ambitious people are to get there. If that means being the best at manipulating the people and/or computer that is at the center of power, then it is not unlikely that the most ambitious people will succeed at finding a way to do that.

Moreover, a single (or multiple) bad government(s) is a big problem, and may take decades for a nation's people to solve, but as long as there are other places (not governed by that government) to go to, expatriates can gather there to discuss what went wrong, what to do instead, and how to bring it about. If a single government dominates all, you are in an it-can-never-fail situation.

Or, to put it another way, one world government is the mother of all "Single Point of Failure"s.
That seems like a leap -- there's other foods that can provide sufficient iodine (e.g. fish, eggs, milk)...
There was at least one major (non-residential) ISP that used Huawei routers in a lot of places. Due to the previous law/rulings they were required to replace all of them with non-prohibited vendors.

The quoted segment sounds like they want to extend that to residential ISP's which makes sense to me. Using network hardware from an adversary nation is very risky. Especially when it's China which has an extensive record of state involvement in it's tech companies.

Fortunately there is no indication yet that regulators in the US want to get involved with routing, or anything resembling a great firewall. The closest thing to that right now is "age verification to visit porn sites" laws that some states have enacted.
Regarding RDP, the issue might be the same as no SSH into machines where you can break out of. Best practice for devs is to work locally and submit PRs? For non tech workers, I don't see the need to RDP anywhere since applications today are mostly cloud based, and others are license based, you'd need a license for the employee to use, say, autodesk tools, so they can install locally. No RDP is good advice either way.

For VPNs, I think they mean non company provided VPNs. So if they're needed, the company should provide them. I can se a scenario where your ISP throttling your traffic or you want to secure traffic and your employer has no VPN. Idk how I'd solve this one.

Verified working locations: I work usually from home or my office, but when I travel, it's usually not a secret where I am, I don't actively try to hide it, it's visible during zoom calls, etc. It's about the level of trust you build with your employer. I have stopped by HQ once or twice while on vacation but that is not required. Overall don't have shady patterns?

But...I am certain companies are not reasonable and some will conflate RDP with any remote thing. Others have no idea how to setup vpn infra, and others simply can't fathom that a remote employee can/should travel while working. So they will have policies that will make remote workers ineligible for hiring.

i don't see how uaw bargaining is good for tesla. that just sounds like capitalist logic with unsubstantiated data. wouldn't higher wages at a ford factory will force telsa to match those wages if they want to be competitive in the labor market?

maybe the owning class should take less profit so the consumer doesn't have to take on that extra cost, but unfortunately the incentive structure of capitalist enterprise doesn't work like that.

> There was an explosion at a hospital that killed hundreds of people. This is not in dispute.

There is no evidence that hundreds of people were killed. The EU believes the death toll to be between 10-50.
This makes the demonstrably false assumption that what's good for you, today, is good for everybody, all the time.

Different bodies need different things, and no single dumbed-down number like that can ever take that into account.

What we need is better ways of making clear just what those needs are to people, which ultimately comes down to better education. Is it a quick solution? Absolutely not. But it's the only one that can genuinely help people to improve their own health through nutrition.

That said, we can also improve our regulation around these things based on the best science we have available, to do things like ban or require labeling and appropriate disclosure of substances that are known to be universally or commonly harmful.
What do you mean by “losing Apple to India”? It’s not clear to me.
This used to be a fax machine "prank"/DoS-- put black construction paper into the hopper, then tape the out end to the in end as it emerges so it forms a "drum" of black paper that continuously feeds.

Fax that to someone and it ties up the phone line while wasting all the receiver's ink and paper.

I see at least two advantages: speed and a consistent cross-platform interface.

Unless you have a 10 gigabit LAN, browsing large media files over a home network is slooooow. Having everything indexed allows you to do instantaneous searches of all of your files (with search tools / filters that may not exist in your native file explorer or would otherwise be extremely slow (Finder)), show instant previews, detect duplicates among all of your files from all of your storage locations, have a single authority for organizational systems like tags, etc.

Offline is useful when you have a lot of external drives with contents scattered across them. You search for the file you want, it tells you what drive its on, you plug that drive in.

This probably won't be extraordinarily useful to people who don't have a lot of network and/or detached drives or people who are meticulously organized and locked into a preferred solution already. But messy people with lots of data, devices, drives, and OSes? Pretty handy.
I don't necessarily agree on looking at pricing that way. One reason being that the 24 core part is 8 ccds with 3 cores each, while the 7950x is 2 ccds with 8 cores each, so the threadripper is able to go with much lower quality chips which would have otherwise gone in the bin.

My completely out of the loop guess:

Machine access would increase the proportion of less-qualified applications and increase the overall volume of applications substantially.

Hiring is mostly about finding a reason to "no" each application.

Sure you might find a needle in haystack if you work hard and are lucky.

But it's easier to find a needle in a box of needles.

Of course I might be wrong and your mileage may vary. Good luck.
Only a handful of polities, in practice, would need to agree on a strong response - the US, China, the EU, and maybe India and Russia.

It is not a "poor" architectural choice, it is a choice with advantages and disadvantages, and something that has been studied since the 1940s. See Harvard vs Von Neumann architecture. Harvard: separated, Von Neumann: combined.

Modern processors are usually a hybrid, Harvard on the inside (with separate instruction and data caches), Von Neumann on the outside. But some processors (ex: DSPs) are pure Harvard and both styles have co-existed since the very first computers, the ones made of vacuum tubes and relays. There is no "original sin".

> The problems with voluntary layoffs like that is the most competent people are always the first ones to quit.

Rather, the ones who have the easiest time finding a new job will often be the first ones to quit. These are not necessarily the most competent ones because, for example, people who are better at self-promotion often do have it easier to find a new job, without necessarily being more competent.
Well the predicting tests they do would not be possible in this scenario, because they want to finetune a model against a set of data in order to make those predictions, and API calls aren't differentiable -> they can't train -> they can't use it to learn to predict. So, I think they see a use case here.
> With the N8 they had a really nice device with aluminium body, oled screen, and 12 megapixel camera (mind you this was 12 years ago). But they chickened out and launched it with Symbian and it kind of was just another underwhelming not quite good enough Symbian device.

in all fairness, there wasn't really a good move to make here yet. IOS was and is closed down, and early android was pretty rough on the software end. and Android device would not necessarily have saved them.

Windows 7 mobile wasnt much better and it was still a ways from the Windows 8 devices. Which was pretty good as devices but was simply too late to capture the network effect. A real shame; I think 3 is the minimum numbers of competitors I'd want for an industry this huge.
Is this new information that CEOs dont know? Or just oft-repeated pablum?
For me, there is a level of detail that just feels invasive. A 480 video is good. If I feel like I have to scrub my pores before a mobile video call, I'm just going to skip sending video entirely.

You can make yourself look they way you want with makeup, or you can use filters. The same tech can be used for self expression that you are worried about erasing "imperfection". Personally I'd like one that just fixes my hair.
"the existence of a secondary market contributes to at least some primary sales"

Incidentally, many favorite books that I pirated when I was broke and had very little room, I later bought paper copies of.

I also pirate most music, but if I really like a band I discovered via piracy, I will buy their vinyl or see them in concert.

The ability to freely share content scondhand, be it a paper book or in digital form, creates new fans. Some of those fans have money to give back, or will share with people that do.
Surely you should specify at least the major version, and/or the version you tested on. Otherwise you are throwing out the entire point of semantic (or semantic-like) versioning.
> If you're in the top 10%, what makes you think the bottom 90% won't vote for policies that end up redistributing your wages to them?

We already have the bottom 10% (executives) doing that. We would need evidence to be convinced that your scenario would plausibly happen if workers had more power and executives less.
This was why Netflix setup Fast.com to use production servers and use data loads that mimic actual streaming video. Early on in streaming ISPs were throttling Netflix traffic when the household streaming demands started spiking (around 6 at night when every house in America would get home and turn on some streams). I believe there was a whole fight over peering agreements related to that... Speedtest.net was definitely getting gamed and may still be or at least Comcast et al was prioritizing burst traffic because residential customers realized the 'up to' home internet service could be pretty bad if your cable lines was over subscribed.
If there is a major version upgrade to a dependency, you would have to update the tutorials if there is a backwards-incompatible change.

By most accounts I've seen, pre-epic bandcamp was not struggling at their size. Perhaps this is uninformed, but it will be interesting to see what information comes to light after NDAs expire.

I suspect Epic had plans for bandcamp, for various reasons they had a change of heart... and re-sold partially out of a combination of frustration and the shifting economy. This wouldn't be the first time a somewhat purpose-driven company had a post-acquisition fallout, and it won't be the last.

I'm a long term YouTube Premium nee Red subscriber and advocate. However, the price has now gotten so high that I'm canceling it.

Hey HN, I got inspired by a recent hack someone did of creating flappy bird in MacOS Finder, so I tried to do the same with type-level Typescript.

If you don't know, Typescript's type annotations are Turing complete, allowing you to compute anything with some clever type trickery.

In order to render graphics from Typescript's types, I ended up creating a compiler that compiles Typescript's types into bytecode, and a custom VM that can execute that bytecode.

Each frame, the VM takes draw commands from type-level Typescript, and renders it using the configured graphics backend. It can run in the browser by compiling the VM to Wasm and using the web's Canvas API.

Being properly prepared for a once-in-15k-years storm would likely require such a cost over such a long time for the expected benefit that it's not worth it. Hardening infrastructure against extremely rare disasters likely means less infrastructure, and probably fewer social programs.

Sometimes the objective rational choice is to do nothing for the mega-disasters and instead just prepare/harden for once-a-century or once-a-millennium event.
Wow. One of my favorite albums from my youth, I never got this until you just mentioned it!
The article seems to reference having external AI etc accelerators colocated with the RAM they use, but then tied to a host machine via CXL. So that makes a certain amount of sense. Latency sensitive stuff happens co-located with the RAM, and then you just take advantage of throughput back to the host.

I'm personally now imagining a specialized database appliance which takes the role of the whole of the pager and buffer pool management from a DB (or KV store or whatever); a physical box which ties secondary storage arrays + large quantities of RAM + buffer pool mgmt firmware together on a box, then connect to host system via CXL. Host system does query planning end execution and everything else...

Is anybody doing this? Does anybody want to found a startup with me to do this? <sips more and more coffee...>
