(I'm told the stand can be found on ebay with lower shipping cost).

For oscilloscopes, Check out the new Rigol DHO800/900 series. They're super compact and USB powered, but basically have the 5000 series features and are 12-bit. The lower bandpass ones are fairly inexpensive and they're hackable to higher bandpasses (craftily, instead of eliminating hackability Rigol has made features like the logic analyzer only exist in higher end models).

I'd like to see some inexpensive options for sidechannel analysis, I've tried varrious things with SDRs monitoring shunt resistors and really had any interesting signals blasted out by LDO noise and USB noise.

Back when I worked on libsecp256k1 I really wanted to setup a CI rig that ran blind side channel analysis on a commit by commit basis, e.g. by looking at the cross correlation of aligned traces with different secret material, but I wasn't able to get something working.

In all seriousness, we were able to train a neural network to distinguish obese people from non-obese people by their voices. We had a training set of audio from several thosuand YouTubers who were classified by inspection as being either "normal weight" or "obese"

>And when has that happened with respect to either GCP, AWS or Azure at a level that it’s worth migrating?

This suggests you are looking for a single example where the pricing of the big 3 is compratively high compared to the competition at a point where it worth it to switch. I gave the example that the price of egress is one cost which is not competitive. If I had instead said that SQS was not competitive obviously that wouldn't matter to businesses that don't use it enough to make a difference.
Presumably they didn't get a warrant to search his property because they didn't have probable cause for what they believed would be a Fourth Amendment search

It's kind of the whole point of this escapade. If they had the probable cause to get a warrant they would've just done it and not paid the money for a drone flight.

They believe that because this search did not involve going into his private property behind a locked gate by government agents and instead the evidence was gathered by flying above his property in airspace that he does not control it was not a search that is subject to court review or the need for a warrant under the Fourth Amendment

If they could've gotten a warrant they would've just done that, and because they couldn't they came up with this alternate scheme
Northern New Jersey.

I think it was 125/night for someone to spend 12-16 hours a day in the house with my dogs. Technically under minimum wage (15/hour in NJ!) for full time care of all 3 dogs.

I think I paid reasonably but generously, I didn't have any interest in hiring the cheapest possible person.

Edited to add that I just checked wag (pet walking/sitting app) to see how much I "over" paid.

Wag charges 40-60/night depending on location; I assume North NJ and wanting a highly verified and qualified sitter and 3 weeks and me generally being absurdly picky) would put me easily at or above that range, plus, they charge 25/night/extra pet so I'm at 110/night with Wag.

Not that I think the average Wag walker is bad, but, I'm much happier paying a bit more for someone I know and trust.

I think the parent comment tried to prove a point by making an extremely frivolous claim and naming every person they could think of as a “user” which means they are either wrong or they failed to adequately make whatever point they were trying to. Uber doesn’t need an api for line cooks, so using them as a justification for a large number or micro services was not rhetorically sound.
> for a fair CPU benchmark, right? Number of channels,

That's exactly where the differences comes from you want to max out the available memory channels on each device not have the same number. Same for latency etc.

I mean your also not fixing the clock speed to 2GHz no boost or when comparing cars limit things just to the first 3 gears or similar.

Because if you would add such artificial limits you won't compare fairly how fast the _max performance_ can be, it would be a very different comparison and wrt. evaluating max performance very unfair.

Now you still need to e.g. have a fair choice of RAM, so preferably if possible use the same RAM sticks (and also use RAM which works equally well with both Intel and AMD). But what that means is that you _have to_ give the AMD system more RAM because it has more channels. Now you also _have to_ make sure that you benchmarks don't have any RAM pressure wrt. capacity.

Also I'm not sure why you mention cache misses? Because number of cache misses is quite independent of RAM amount? Do you mean disk cache or swap misses instead, but I don't think the benchmark does disk I/O and shouldn't have swap either?
But even if the benchmark only uses let's say 32GiB of memory for getting a proper GPU
It's all about perspective. There was a decrease after an increase. I'd venture a guess that most people never experienced the initial increase and so they won't notice any decrease. Either rate is rather low and there are a variety of factors that are more influential in making your likelihood higher or lower.
Post a generality on HN and you're bound to get corrected by the math police.

Most studies agree that bipolar disorder is not evenly distributed across the sexes. Schizophrenia is roughly equal but occurs for men before/during peak childbearing years, and for women happens after.
There are many goals you can set and achieve that require effort but don't relate to needing to work to make money.

Maybe I'm somehow crazy on a forum of tech "entrepreneurs"... but, I like to do stuff like learn to sing and play the guitar, speak new languages, get better at drawing and painting, or plunge ever deeper into the worlds of math and physics... all of which seems eminently compatible with this "power process" thesis and which are all much more pleasant when you don't simultaneously have to work.
> I know video cards have sepcialized hardware for video encoding, but those are tuned for realtime streaming and not meximum quality. If you want to use a different algorithm than the one baked into the hardware, can you use a GPU for that?

If you're doing something that follows the same general design as most existing video codecs, absolutely; these days "hardware" encoding is less "fixed function chip" and more "the driver/firmware knows how to stitch together these components so as to comply with the xyz standard" - hence you see support for new encoding standards getting added in driver updates. If you're doing some completely radical out-of-left-field video compression algorithm, maybe not, although even then GPU hardware is pretty general these days and video encoding tends to be well suited to running on it.
Yes, we should aspire to a murder rate seen only in the asteroid belt and other places uninhabited by humans. Recreating those circumstances would temporarily raise the homicide rate in a given year but it would drop to 0 in the next.

What’s your plan for that? I was going to say maybe put every single American in prison, but even that probably wouldn’t work.
You're right that Satoshi's coins are at risk (but because they're using the older P2PK, not due to key reuse), and I agree that this would lead to some amount of chaos and transformative disruption.

There are a lot of things you can’t eat, but are very important tools to help you get food. Words, ideas, friendships, jobs. None of them are edible, but very useful. Money is another one.

Isn’t this just shifting the issue? I like your reasoning w/r/t threats of violence. But let’s say we’re talking about, I dunno, polio vaccinations. John posts that the vaccine is dangerous and will turn your children into frogs. Jane thinks that posts that decrease the chances all children will receive a vaccination that shows provable efficacy in preventing polio are, in essence, threatening society (say, by putting people unable to receive the vaccine at hugely greater risk).

You might argue that John’s speech isn’t a direct issue and is a matter of political opinion and should be unlimited. Jane might argue that the speech is directly dangerous.

Your framing doesn’t solve this issue - it just adjusts the point at which we adjudicate it, doesn’t it?
it's not sloppy, it's required!

you want to max out memory channels on all devices to test max performance

but you also want to use RAM DIMs which are equally good, if possible the same

as AMD has more memory channels this means it will get more "equally good"(1) RAM DIMs and in turn have more memory

and as long as you make sure that no of your benchmarks perform pressure wrt. RAM capacity (e.g. max RAM usage 64GiB) you now have a fair benchmark wrt. max performance

naturally if you don't plan to max out your RAM channels on AMD you do need a different benchmark for non-max performance

(1): "equally good" is also a bit tricky as different vendors have slightly subtle differences in access patterns and DDR5 ram training also can make the same RAM run with different settings on different systems which can make the same ram dim not equally good, but there probably is some RAM which doesn't have such issues
Ask HN: How's your job search going in this current economy?

The president has virtually no impact on crime (not directly anyways - some research shows a hope factor can reduce violence in areas with a president that matches the area's party or demographic). The state and local leaders have a much higher impact since most crime is prosecuted at those levels.

In addition to politicians and media who always tend to benefit from a perception of increased crime, social media feeds perceptions of increasing crime rates.
Not sure if that was a one-time mistake, but "wreak havoc" is typically how that phrase is written.
I think a large part of it was the hype part of the hype cycle went too high and lasted too long (as it tends to do). It's a bit like Wayland here, had it not been hyped as the greatest thing to have ever happened to display servers 5 years ago there'd be significantly fewer complaints around it today.

The other large part of it is until something is better than the old thing in nearly every way there is going to be a significant volume of people who were really served well by old thing disgusted by the idea of new thing being called better already. For anything as common as cars that has more to do with numbers than a specific HN obsession.

There are so many confounders. It's not the marriage, but rather having more money. Marriage confers various financial benefits. I am sure celeb kids do fine despite their parents having messy personal lives (e.g. Woody Allen's kids). Divorce is pretty bad too, though. It's possible that divorcee undoes most or all the benefits.
> When the benefits of money are so obvious but the downsides are so subtle, the downsides you didn’t anticipate can be more jarring than the benefits you expected.

This is a really important aspect of seeking wealth that many people don’t understand. The jump from poverty to no longer missing bills is much more significant than the jump from middle class to upper class. It’s the reason why so many studies exist showing that past $75,000 per year (not inflation adjusted, so try $120k or so), more money doesn’t tend to make you happier. Instead, you trade freedom and happiness for the money you thought would bring you freedom and happiness. Also, trying to become a billionaire is most definitely a lonely and sad path.

A somewhat healthier goal would be to become “financially free,” whatever that means to you. No longer needing to work, allows you to do the work you actually love.
A single engineer can’t understand everything at scale.

Even in a 100 person startup that I worked for where I designed the infrastructure and the best practices and wrote the initial proof of concept code and best practices for about 15 microservices it got to the point where I couldn’t understand everything and had to hire people to separate out the responsibilities.

We sold access to micro services to large health care organizations for their websites and mobile app's. We aggregated publicly available data on providers like licenses, education etc.

Our scaling stood up as we added clients that could increase demand by 20% overnight and when a little worldwide pandemic happened in 2020 causing our traffic to spike
You seem to misunderstand how the adjective "toxic" is functioning in that phrase. Toxic masculinity describes a particular type of masculinity in the same way that "electric car" describes a type, or subset, of cars. Not all cars are electric just like not all masculinity is toxic. Hope that helps!
it seemed obvious from his comment? He wants a drop to BELOW precovid levels because covid was the correlated with a sharp increase and covids effects on society at large have now (mostly) subsided
>There is room for considerable bias here;

Agreed. But the issue with bias is that the biased person is unable to visualize their own bias. They always think the other party is biased. Unfortunately I believe that out of both of us here, the bias actually lies with you but you're unable to see it. Here's why:

>1. Most generations consider their immediate neighbors more and less conservative, going back and forward respectively

Yeah, but i'm not talking about that. I'm talking about a general trend towards liberalism. The past decade brought about a general liberal movement outside of the one where people get more conservative with age.

That much is obvious. Society is shifting towards more and more woke-ism, feminism which is good in some ways but in other ways it's becoming extremist on those fronts. It's so extreme that many of the liberal policies in California are causing an exodus where people move to more conservative states like arizona and texas.

>2. People become more conservative with age; particularly when major investments are in play such as a home purchase and having children. It's a small coincidence that children and mortgages both take about 20 years to come to fruition.

I'm talking Monogamy and polygamy. Not finances or investments or law. For example in the 60s women sex before marriage was not normal. Now a body count of 5+ among women before marriage is considered normal. But you realize this has nothing to do with mortgages, children or major investments.

The bias here lies with the fact that you see things through the lens of politics. I'm talking about anthropology and biology. It's human Behavior and psychology... Not politics.
It’s amazing how many people legitimately believe crime is worse than 20 years ago.
My first job was doing Actionscript + mxml. It was fine for the web, even as people talked about things like crashes and/or security vulnerabilities. The same can be said to be true of Javascript today (to a much lesser extent though).

But the iPhone and iOS really killed it by not supporting it, at least that's my memory of it. I remember feeling fundamentally "uncool" by doing Flash/Actionscript/Mxml because right when I got that first job out of college was when Steve Jobs was doing the "Flash sucks" rounds. "It's dead." etc.

I remember a couple of the Flash folks at my job went to a Flash conference where they would do cool things with art and animation. When they got back they bumped into some members of the iOS team who back then were the new hot commodity (both in demand and salary). And they said to the flash folks: "Oh people still use Flash?" snicker snicker.

As an entry-level at the start of my career it made me feel like I was deprecated out of the gate working with legacy tech.

I still remember Actionscript fondly though as well as all the web games I'd play.
Those are surrogate activities, and according to the article, they are less satisfying than the pursuit of real goals (see last paragraph). The point is that when you have to work for a living, and you are successful at that, that is much more satisfying than being successful at a hobby. That sounds about right to me!
Many of those don't need anywhere close to "never need to work again" money, only "2-3 years savings, or a willingness to half-ass your job". You just need the courage to make it a priority.

It's entirely possible to do most of those as a hobby. If you do need to go full-time on it, you can usually accomplish a lot in 2-3 years, and then jump back into the workforce when you get bored with your hobbies.
Many (most?) people do like to "do something." But my observation is that many--especially later career--with a reasonable pile of money are pretty happy to travel, read, write, volunteer, watch live or other entertainment, putter around the house, etc. They may do things but don't necessarily really work in the sense that they have a lot of obligations and deliverables.
Very few Americans blame crime on the president. More likely their mayor or police chief. Sometimes the sheriff, DA or governor. Occasionally they blame the criminal or victims too.
For people who live in Seattle, the perception that homicides are increasing is actually the reality: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/seattl...
I don't agree. The effects of humans dumping CO2 and other gases in the atmosphere is not just the increase in the average temperature.

It is increased variability in temperatures. It is extreme droughts and extreme floods (which occurred in Pakistan last year). It is extreme tropical storms. It is historical levels of forest fires (such as what we saw in Canada this year). Etc etc. All of these things are cause for concern.

Climate change is a much more accurate term than global warming, even if climate deniers use it to their ends. The opposite effect also occurs. People in Canada will joke, "oh global warming is great, maybe it will warm up here a bit." But talk about forest fires and it is much harder for them to disregard the concerns.
Its even worse than dot bomb (2000-2004) however is it all github copilot eating these jobs? I think some, but also with the success with remote work I image most roles were simply sent out of the US, and could be an outsourced team with extra help from copilot and other tools.
It's actually funny that that meme is now not viable anymore, due to the proliferation of text-to-image generators.
Homicide rates in jails or prisons are only slightly lower than the population in general.
I have a 16-core Ryzen 7950X that I run in "eco mode 105W". This delivers performance close to an Intel 13900K but at less than half the power. It's also much easier to cool and get a quiet PC without water cooling and enthusiast shenanigans (de-lidding, etc.)

I don't know if the Zen 4 Threadrippers can be similarly run with a power limit. If they can, I'd expect much better efficiency than whatever Intel offers.

This has eco mode benchmarks: https://youtu.be/W6aKQ-eBFk0?si=o8l1qGUhSQKxmY_c

It's also interesting how little discussion there is about "toxic femininity". I dislike both, to be clear, but if we're going to tackle the harm caused by men being violent, cold, disloyal, absent, etc then we also have to be frank about the role of women in the creation of broken homes by selecting such awful husbands and fathers.
