I've been watching asciidoc for quite awhile. It looks excellent for its features, but its biggest problem is that every time I investigate it, it looks like in a year it's gonna be usable.
moot not mute
The first town on the list is a place famous for building houses underground due to the heat on the surface being too extreme. It’s also in the middle of nowhere.

The rest are country towns, not suburban ones. Where you need to drive hours to get to anything approaching what you might think of as “downtown”, and even then there’s not gonna be a lot there.

The reality in Australia is that the vast majority of the population lives within 100km of the east coast. It’s not like America where there are literally thousands of decent-sized small towns (tens of thousands of people), there just isn’t enough population for that. Almost half the population lives in two cities (Melbourne and Sydney) and neither of these are affordable places no matter how far out into the suburbs you go.
Meh… I’m not an expert in airline economics but it often seems the case that if you are not a barebones low cost charging for everything excess toilet access and a seat, you may not be able to get enough occupancy to pay airport fees, maintenance, baggage, fuel, crew, and the rest of the operating costs, otherwise that bird is taking off and bleed dollars. Then you are a national carrier, and you must be subsidized by the government.

What’s the point of this link? The conference has come and gone. Is there a way to view videos of talks or something?
Ah, ok. But it is developing rapidly...

> x86 and ARM are well maintained because they're 30-40 years old, but Power (it's not an acronym anymore) is not because it's 35 years old?

I don't know how/why you came up with such strange idea.

x86 and ARM are 30-40 years old, with their widespread market share, such long history became an advantage as numerous tools & apps got built in that 30-40 years timeframe. it is called the ecosystem.

POWER as a failed ISA has been on its dead man walking stage for 30-40 years, nothing really get promoted & adopted. when you look back, it provides very strong certainty that if something good didn't happen in the last 30 years then there won't be a good chance for it happen in the next 5-10 years. its 30-40 years history is a disadvantage, because it is potential has been proven to be pretty bad.

This is like being 50 years old & highly successful in tech putting you in a comfort spot as your age implies your decades long valuable & successful experience. Being 50 years old with a shitty CV full of failures is a different story, your age is a huge liability for obvious reasons.

If the above is not obvious and you are in tech, then I have to say that you are in the wrong business.

You can also view past talks.

It also spreads awareness so people can attend the conference next year.
Don't be fooled. Brazil may seem stable right now but the future's not looking too good. Government spending went through the roof this year. To me it seems like the only thing keeping the country afloat is the monstrously high interest rate. It's only a matter of time before they get rid of that as well.

Brazil suffered many times the exact same hyperinflation Argentina now faces. We have gone through several currencies now. If you search HN for Brazil, one of the top posts is about the creation of the real and how they convinced the population that this time it was somehow going to be different.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1757716

The real is merely 30 years old and has already inflated about 1100%. 1 BRL@1994-07 is about 12 BRL@2023-10. Somehow salaries don't seem to increase as much.
As very long term goal, I want to work on a project like this but on much larger scale.

I have a tiny prototype based on Go and soufflé.

The overall goal would be to figure out classical error conditions like nill pointers deference.

If I can figure out if a pointer will be nil in some execution branch, there is no reason why a computer cannot do the same.

However it is very hard work and the part I am currently stuck in is creating a reasonable abstraction level where I can reason (in soufflé) about code and not about an AST.

I personally would see this as an human race level upgrades. Imagine feeding your code to a CI that spit back something like: "you will have a panic at line 156 when your input is > 4"

Moreover we will be able to check the "real code" starting from main down to all execution paths. Which is much more powerful than current static analysis that usually analyse a single function without considering how the function itself is invoked.

Beside the actual implementation difficulties, the other big elephant in the room is the amount of resources needed to run this kind of analysis.

(I am less concerned about that as computation resources exploded due to AI and solving SAT is getting faster and faster)

Or you just interpolate between frames if you want the same motion blur. It’s just like downsampling from 4k to 1080p. The process is clean since you can directly map 2 frames to 1 frame (or, 4 pixels to 1 pixel for resolution conversion).
When Ritchie created C, he made arithmetic wrap because that’s what arithmetic did in assembly and C started as a thin layer over assembly. The real question is why did arithmetic do that in assembly – in other words, why didn’t the CPU automatically trap on overflow? Today, CPUs are designed to run the output of optimizing compilers, and optimizing compilers really like arithmetic to be “pure”, able to be hoisted in and out of loops and conditionals without having to worry about introducing or removing overflow errors. So there’s not much interest in hardware overflow checking. But when C was invented, CPUs were primarily designed to run hand-coded assembly. So why didn’t they trap by default? …Well, I don’t know. Probably because it’s simpler that way. But someone better acquainted with the history might have a better answer.

I can think of some cases where wrapping comes in handy.

Suppose you want to compute `a + b - c`. Mathematically speaking, the addition and subtraction should be associative. You shouldn’t have to care about the difference between `(a + b) - c` and `a + (b - c)`, since they should be equivalent. Using commutativity of addition, you can also rewrite it as `(a - c) + b`, or `b + (a - c)`, and those too should be equivalent. With wrapping, they are equivalent! All of those expressions will always compute the same value, and it will be the mathematically correct value as long as said value fits into the integer type you’re using – even if the intermediate values don’t. This property is true for any series of additions, subtractions, and multiplications (though not divisions). In contrast, with overflow-checked arithmetic you have to think about which order is ‘correct’, i.e. which one is guaranteed not to overflow given whatever invariants you have in place.

…But that’s only useful if the final result is guaranteed not to overflow. Or if you don’t care if it overflows. If it can overflow and you do care, then you probably need to overflow-check the intermediate computations anyway, so wrapping just gets in the way.

Can royalties put on mineral extraction on public land be considered taxes in this regard, though? If the same minerals were found on privately owned land, the land owner would ask for a piece of the proceeds to allow mining.

Now that you mention it...I have only seen one review about workstations that benchmarked machines for 24 hours to make sure they didn't thermally saturate and throttle and I'm wondering why that isn't more of a metric for non mobile stuff. Heck even mobile workstations may be put under heavy load for durations and this would show if their cooling keeps up or falls short
The disproofs of Landauer’s limit I am familiar with concern protocols that are not physically realizable, I.e. they require infinite time or an instantaneous quenching step. Do you have a reference that shows you can beat the limit without those assumptions? I’d really like to see how it’s done.
The governor and deputy are 7 years, appointed by directors. They control fiscal policy.

Look, I know it's fashionable to claim that everyone just ignores their roles via legislation (such as the bank of canada act), ignores change and what's happening in the world around them, to instead act as puppets, but that's just not how it works.
> see Keen, Walshe and Sutton

Have you seen them? I won't pretend to have read Walshe and Sutton, but from my cursory understanding of their criticism it's that Pascoe has conflated all indigenous tribes across the continent (not all engage directly in planting), and they used means of cultivating the land that were lower effort (harnessing fire and self-seeding) but still effective (which is much in sympathy with Pascoe's thesis). It certainly doesn't provide evidence that indigenous people didn't understand seeds
Integer overflow is relatively easy to detect and protect against at run-time using -fsanitize=signed-integer-overflow. (yes, needs testing. Doing it reliable at compile-time is hard.) But compilers also offer various options on how to deal with overflow. The users choose -O3 over other options. ISO C does not favor one over the other. But making it defined behavior that wraps would turn it into subtle correctness bugs which one can not easily screen for.
Panama is not necessarily that underdeveloped. It is a middle income country as is Colombia. Colombia due to its size and war is more uneven in the development of infrastructure. Having towns only accessible by boat is not necessarily a measure of the capacity for a country to build infrastructure. It isn't that uncommon for even a rich country to have areas accessible only by boat. Consider Jeanu, Alaska.

Northern South America has some incredible challenges when in comes to terrain in general. The former columnist on Latin America at the Economist left it as his final thesis that this fact explains why the region is not more rich, despite a wealth of natural resources:

https://www.economist.com/the-americas/2022/12/08/latin-amer...

If one has ever been on the road between Villavicencio and Bogotá or passed through Tungurahua to Pastaza in Ecuador they can appreciate the difficulties that were overcome to build those roads. The rough terrain is one reason why less than 50 miles from modern cities in Ecuador there are still uncontacted native people. Given this northern South American baseline, if someone who knows the area says the terrain is unforgiving it is unforgiving.
When I want to go shopping I want the store to be the size of a city block.

When I want nature I want a huge park, where I can drive a distance inside the park until there are no humans in sight.

When I want entertainment the things I'm interested in wouldn't fit in walkable distance.

When I want a museam it's going to be large.

So tell me, what could you offer me that's small enough to be within walking distance, and still interesting? A library is the only thing I can think of.

I also want my house to be large enough to store all the tools I could want, with a space for a workshop, and space outside so I can build things or work on a car if I want.
I did (along with the help of several other people finding, building, and testing tools) the migration of Tcl from CVS to Fossil during the great Sourceforge outage. We looked at many options for migrating to such as Darcs, Git, Bzr, and Mercurial -- Larry McVoy (bitkeeper author and Tcl contributor and supporter, also on HN) offered Bitkeeper support as well. The core team liked Fossil the best at the time though -- some people do not view this as the right decision to this day.

It seems to be working out okay, though!

Similarly, I was recently itching to generate Github Pages-like static sites from my self-hosted Gitea instance to include a blog. I had set up a global webhook filtered for 'webdeploy' branch pushes that would send a request to a specific Caddy path whitelisted for Gitea. An exec function for Caddy would run a shell script (yeah, I know) that would clone/pull the repo into a known directory, create a proxied subdomain for it in Cloudflare, and push necessary changes to Caddy's config.

While I don't have the same hesitations about depending on a small chain of open-source projects, I really didn't like the idea of caddy-exec despite my basic precautions, so I abandoned this approach until I can ponder it a bit more.
Yes, CCS is the worst of the charging standards and Americans are fortunate that the government didn’t mandate it. Thanks to EU legislation, Europeans are now stuck with a comically huge connector that can leave them stranded if they get an unlucky cable. It’s the cookie banner of charging standards.
I’m skeptical that individual prospectors have a meaningful part in modern mining, or even really continue to exist in practice. At least as anything more than hobbyists.

This is the kind of thing we can reason about a priori all we want, but the, I suppose, posteriori is very straightforward and knowable: either a population of independent miners benefiting from this rule as you describe exists, or it does not.

I don’t know the answer, and don’t really expect much anyone else here to know. But I’d expect that for those connected to the industry it’s very plain. Without facts though, everything else is hot air.

Anyway, the only way I’ve really heard of startup mining concerns is as private equity scams targeting rich-but-not-wealthy dentist and chamber of commerce types.
I don't know why they are homeless, but there are quite a bit of homeless there; along with 15-people illegal boarding homes. Canadian real estate market is also quite a miracle.

Compared to US, I suppose. Canadian homicide rate is comparable to Balkan countries, each famous in their own way of dysfunction and corruption.

Drop the word "illegal" and you will see a lot. How do you expect illegal immigrants to get to Canada when they only border US?

The final point is quite amusing since it's the Canadian Government and the regulatory capture it creates that screws up a lot of things in Canada and pushes prices to insane levels (mobile phone plans, housing as two examples that came to my mind) while also depressing wages via immigration.
If there are resources available, some entrepreneur will figure out a way to make use of them.
I love that they glommed onto the new terror of the week with "deep faked".

Maybe if people would rather watch the deep fake than what you're showing, you have bad programming.

Hell, given the trajectory from "TV Star" to "legitimate threat to the Republic" (see Kari Lake as well as the leading national brand), maybe deepfaking celebrities is an effective way to scramble dangerous political ambitions.

I actually splashed out good money on an ATSC 3.0 box (the first Kickstarter-style HDHomerun product). I live in a target market. And I've tuned ATSC 3.0 programs like 5 times. The service is still a hairball; Even aside from any DRM shadow, because it uses AC-4 audio, support is spotty. I've been able to watch the ATSC1 broadcasts on scenarios as exotic as "Haiku OS via a web browser" or "Hacked together homebrew software that's a Python/Tk GUI atop mpv", but 3.0 seems to only work with Windows and only if you install a commercial codec... if you want sound.

Right now, there are (checks EPG) 11 ATSC3 offerings available here. Two are marked as "DRM", and all appear to be just ATSC1 channels re-encoded. There has yet to be a killer event or novel channel-- no real "We'll show IMAX movies or the Super Bowl" offering to showcase the promise of ATSC3, which I suspect will mostly be sold to consumers as "Finally broadcast TV in 4K".

All the DRM/connection/internet stuff is going to be very difficult to sell to customers. Even if you ignore that it's creepy or controlling, it's simply not compelling. There's been hacky, clunky interactive TV offerings since the days of Teletext. Prove to a pre-jaded audience this will be better!

Specifically I think the issue is that if people drop the phone while reclined and then return the seat to the upright position to sit up to be able to reach down more easily, if the phone is in the wrong place it can get bent enough in the mechanism to compromise the battery pouch inside (which hopefully only makes it heat up and smoke but it can potentially catch fire, and fire is one of the the worst things to have in the cabin).

This isn’t hypothetical, they put this in the safety talk since it has happened and obviously by reports like this, continues to happen!
I guess reasonable people can agree.

There are a number of things I like about twitch. Top is searching by games. On YouTube I'm lucky if my results are related streams at all, where on twitch, it is 100% the game I wanted ranked high to low.

I also Like the raid mechanic for finding new streamers. Last, I like the twitch community where I find streamers because they are hanging out in other stream chats-something I have never seen on YouTube

The problem is all of these mobiles have custom proprietary AI chips with custom SDKs and are usually not even market share (looking at you Qualcomm Microsoft and Google) so beyond the OEM is it worth any third party to invest time in development for them?

> I am not sure about which blindspots you have in mind, though?

Not trying to throw shade, but in my experience people who are confident that they have no bias usually do, often heaps of it, and are just not that much aware of it.

Especially when it comes to 'gut decisions' ('chemical fit'?).

Bias is human and we are all biased in one way or another. Saying that you’re not is a red flag, quite frankly, at least for me.
All my late 20s accountant friends are buying houses right now. I know a chemical engineer doing the same. Likewise for everyone in tech. And a lot of people live with their parents and will inherit a family house at some point too.

Plenty of people living comfy.
> The sex-pregnancy link was figured out by observing domestic animals, a luxury they didn't have.

You really do live in some far removed fantasy world don't you.

I have rarely met any people that watch and know more about the plants and animals in their environment than australian aboriginals.

They know what feeds on what, when different animals breed, when plants produce fruit, when they pollinate.

You can't hunt kangaroo, for example, without knowing their movement patterns and it's a nice day out watching kangaroos lounge about feeding, mounting, and moving with the sun.

There's entire long standing practices about not hunting where kangaroos breed, etc. to keep numbers up.

The mindset that you've apparently missed is that of "keeping" domestic animals .. it was never a thing to people that were always surrounded by and living in the midst of animals they knew, watched, and knew where to find as needed.

Elcho Islanders don't keep birds in a cage, for example - that's a European thing:

Not catering to mobile could be construed as a part of the owner's values :)

I certainly think that "mobile first" was a mistake that got everyone addicted, and made kids oblivious about tech.
Maybe. Seems odd that they'd use a vestigial 'static' directory in the request path, though. I didn't read it because the layout makes it useless on mobile browsers, but I have a feeling they mean that the whole site is coded into one binary like a self-contained ssg rather than the site only requiring one file to work.

The tittle is misleading. It should read: The Decline of CPU As a General Computing Device.

But then, I guess not many people would mind it.

A computer? I consider all forms of computing units today as computer: micro-controller, single board computer, CPU +/- GPU +/-Neutral Engines etc.

What about the math-coprocessor in the 90s? Did they cause a decline of computer as a general computing device? Of course not.
