A "real" LaTeX IDE would be nice. I think not including full integration with LaTeX (which is clunky, full of gnarly to use tools, ...) would help a lot of people writing papers and other similar works.
Apple's Rosetta uses some special hardware in the M1 and later chips to make some x86/x64 translated instructions much faster. I believe it was the load and store instructions.

Microsoft doesn't have access to these instructions for their own implementation (because they are not ARM standard), but theoretically they could have qualcomm or other SoC providers add some custom hardware that does the same. But in a fragmented landscape that can be hard, some windows laptop SoCs might have it, some might not.
Good point, it’s a bit like calling hitting a baseball with a bat an “electric assist”. It’s not wrong, it’s just not very helpful.

It’s also a good illustration of why we call some forces strong and others weak.

Thanks, Just one last question from my side- For the self-hosted version of Revert, can you provide more insights into the level of technical expertise required to set it up within an organization's infrastructure?

And Additionally, what kind of support and assistance does the Revert team provide to facilitate this setup? If a client needs it.
I'm not sure, one thing I like about Sumatra is that it's very light and clean.

Exactly what I had in mind, you nailed it. With some focus on improving the UI (a list of premade prompts, or a simpler way to make them) it could become widely used. Also, I think using the OpenAI backend is a huge blocked. I wonder how a small quantized model running in the browser would perform. Sad thing is that for now WebGPU is not running on Linux' browsers. Maybe CPU inference is enough.
Not an industry expert.. just a curious onlooker, but this is not surprising in the slightest - though I am surprised the VC firehose has been turned off this soon. I thought they'd float along on stupid money for longer.

From the start they seemed overfunded and with no real good long term business model. They have no lock-in because of the whole open nature of RISC-V.

- They're not designing for any specific in-house purpose like Alibaba/Western-Digital

- The low end will always be dominated by Allwinner and company and they can't win

- The high end is competing with x64 and huge companies like Intel.. also can't win unless you're Apple

They make non-pricecompetitive middle of the road chips that nobody really needs other than RISC-V enthusiasts.. And at the end of the day effectively anyone can come in and do what they're doing at any point.

The latest announcement seems to show they're finally shifting to the strategy their Chinese competitors have been doing for years. Open RISC-V cores and then get lock-in with custom NPUs. I doubt they'll be able to compete with Chinese firms there though

Cool idealistic company, but at the end of the day making cool stuff isn't in itself a business model - and you gotta make money to pay the bills

Yes, of course, but I feel like these kind of articles only ever account for the financial benefits. It you want to own a house it doesn't matter if it costs more than renting.

The story talks about a few things which make it likely that the forum is contributory - a user is described as using information from the forum to frustrate a mental health evaluation, and in taking advice on an effective method of ending their lives.

It's not personal dislike so much as it seems like facilitation. Advice on how to fake it through a mental health assessment, which may otherwise have lead to help being given, seems particularly harmful.
Trump hardly invented this; in particular it's more or less status quo in most less developed countries (and indeed reducing it is normally an important milestone in becoming a developed country). He was certainly unusually _blatant_ about it, though.

> The world is on an "unstoppable" shift towards renewable energy but the phase down of fossil fuels is not happening quickly enough, a new report says.

I would not be making such claims with a global recession and wars increasingly prevalent. A lot of legislation around clean energy may be pushed aside for economic or security purposes.

> But it warned that emissions were still too high to prevent temperatures rising above a key threshold of 1.5C.

What makes 1.5C key? Why not 2C [1]? And is this normalised for background rise vs actual rise? The earth's temperature has risen fast in the past too [2].

> The report said the growth in clean energy and technologies was "impressive". In 2020, one in 25 cars sold was electric. Just three years later this number has risen to one in five.

Vehicle emissions are: (manufacturing + running) / years_of_service

By far the most environmentally friendly thing to do currently is to keep existing vehicles running for longer, until they are eventually traded for something more efficient. I'm yet to be convinced that these EV batteries will serve out the 10 years they claim and they also have a higher emissions for manufacturing. They are also only as environmentally friendly as the energy generation which is continuously under threat and very difficult to scale without significant investment.

That said, if you really want to make a dent, start tackling the shipping industry rather than the individual. This is where we make big changes quickly [3]. The emissions from these ships is also likely directly acidifying our oceans too.

Then put in some regulation/tax regarding the import of materials or goods from countries that do not have good emissions standards. This would force Countries like China to clean up their act and stop Countries outsourcing their carbon emissions.

Programs as Diagrams: From Categorical Computability to Computable Categories
The above post is a link to a recently released book on Amazon.

The book introduces a diagrammatic approach to the concept of a computer program and in so doing provides a concrete, pictorial view towards of a type of computational category. This, I feel, is useful to readers of HN because it provides an accessible path to category theory by its application to computation, something programmers implicitly understand.

From a cursory glance at the sample, the book seems very accessible for those with an undergraduate computing background. I would go as far as to say that if you are a bright, determined high-schooler with an interest in programming, you should be able to make some headway into the book.

The author's website has more details [1] and includes a link to a talk of his on related matters at The New York City Category Theory Seminar done earlier this year.

Metric doesn't let people grasp large numbers.
If you have a hardware second factor that does not require user interaction (or that has a low-security tier that does not require user interaction), couldn't that be used to transparently re-validate existing sessions with zero inconvenience cost? Keep challenging that factor with the existing session and a nonce. Am I missing something?

And even if you don't have that, when authentication is your core business you might want to harden your sessions against transmission contents getting in the wrong hands by setting up an additional factor in the browser's local storage that gets challenged without putting the key on the wire. Sure, that local storage is no secrets vault, but you don't write some existing secret there, you set up an additional key that would protect e.g. from a .HAR playback. That's the nature of multi-factor tiered defense, protection from just one angle is protection nonetheless, perfect must not be the enemy of good.

Worked on a project using them a couple years ago and it was a complete shit show. Stuff like atrocious documentation, spaghetti code demo projects and very difficult to reach support. We surmised that their auto core builder thing was actually probably a few people manually configuring and firing off build jobs rather than any truly automated/turnkey process. They also lacked a lot of peripherals/interfaces that you'd expect or, more accurately, need for any product leveraging the performance the cores could theoretically provide.

Long story short, this isn't super surprising given that it basically killed our product.

> If you get into a plane crash you pretty much die

If you're thinking about the scariest plane crashes, where the plane hits the ground at more or less cruise speed, you're right. But, when a crash occurs during take-off or landing (and that's most of the crashes, although they don't tend to capture the public's imagination as much as the others), the chances are much better. There are some photos of pretty badly broken up and/or burned planes (e.g. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/emirates-jet-burns-runway...) where you would be surprised to hear that all or most passengers managed to get out...

This is an huge issue for us in a very big and complex codebase with a lot of engineers working on it.

Code review is hard because the diff always looks reasonable, the tests always pass and all the basic stuff are always checked.

However, it happens often that, even if the changes looks reasonable they are wrong.

The whole architecture may drift after one bad change that looks reasonable.

As always this is not strictly a problem with the tooling, but more of culture and knowledge sharing.

And we are not going to solve it with a better tool.
> What does "Qt is bloated" even mean.

From a user perspective I remember that being a big thing some time ago when people didn't have anything already using Qt installed did an “apt install” or “yum install” on something that did and saw the small tool they were wanting was going to drag half a desktop environment in with it as dependencies. The same could likely be said for GTK in reverse, I'm not sure what their relative sizes for similar features are these days.

Some use bloated to mean the memory footprint. IIRC GTK has more of a reputation for eating RAM than Qt, but again maybe people notice a single Qt app using a lot of resource (that would be shared if running multiple apps against the same libs) when it is the only one they run.

As you suggest, just stating that “<whatever> is bloated” without reference to some details of what is meant by that, sounds a bit like someone parroting old information and/or group-think rather than having looked into it recently.

Having said that the author has a minimal dependency stance in order to try to maintain a small footprint for the app (“I avoid unnecessary abstractions.” in the section about keeping things small) so any framework that isn't little more than a cosmetic wrapper could legitimately be called more bloated than using nothing at all and talking more directly to the standard OS libs. Also in context (discussing why the product is not cross-platform and is never likely to be) this is not the only reason being given and probably not the most significant one (there may be significant selection of cross-platform issues beyond the UI framework).

The key to a lot of what is in that document is the “It’s my project and I act like it” part. All too often we forget this very important side of things, especially with one-man or small-team projects, and people comment on project decisions as if using the product gives some automatic expectation that the creator will mould it around the needs/wants of a given user or someone's idea of “the community”. For an open source project the community has the option of forking the project or offering to fund the changes they want that aren't otherwise on the creator's roadmap (though obviously the larger the project, the less practical these options may be)…

Because the inverse square law applies to probes too. We can send them out by the millions, but by the time they get far enough out to see something interesting the probe density will be practically zero.
> Will not probably even lead to company fines, nor the disappearance of the illegal dark patterns.

NOYB’s intervention has lead to fines and I’ve been seeing way more banners have a “Reject All” at the top level. I remember noticing that at the same time NOYB posted about it. Unfortunately I don’t remember any useful keyword to search their website and post the source.

Though I’m not disagreeing with you. I have no doubt the dark patterns will continue and these companies will be as vampiric as they can get away with.

My strategy is to use that as a useful signal: the more a company or website bends over backwards to try to get me to accept data collection, the more I know I can’t trust them and will simply leave.
The difficulty of long range communications is nicely demonstrated there: "X-band with 5-m fixed antenna capable of sufficient downlink (~10 Mbit/week) at 1000 au using Next Generation Very Large Array or equivalent resource" ... "Two Next Generation Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators for 300 W
(electric) at end of mission"

So with twice the area of radio dish and a power supply that after 50 years is still double what Voyager launched with, the data rate will be two bytes per second.

Awesome news. The world is healing.

Having a big player as the "ARM of Risc-V" funded by VC was so toxic. It takes the oxygen out of the ecosystem.

The next step in open hardware is not having more proprietary silicon shops, it's streamlining the manufacturing process to make it look more like pooled PCB manufacturing, so that open collaborative groups can cheaply iterate their designs.
> and I think Azure AD too

Not sure that "security" should be the top reason for switching from Okta to AzureAD.

Also, as a "user" (in IT), AAD is a royal PITA to use, with stupid limitations, such as not supporting group hierarchies. And don't even get me started on the horrid UX of the Azure portal. I've never used Okta in any capacity, though, so I don't know if it's any better.
What is crazy to me is that even at those speeds, it is over 18,000 years from reaching one light year distance. The closest star is 4.2 light years away. So to ever reach it we would need multi generational ships or some way to go much much faster.
You're not wrong. I think the move to riscv will happen but not in any time span we can make predictions inside of (~10 years+). ARM has been awful to license stuff from and riscv has been great for keeping them from going absolutely mad with power.
It's because there is no real "help" being given there. Mental health services in many places are just "if you are really suicidal, we lock you up, otherwise we do nothing"... faking an assessment so you don't get institutionalised and get brain damage from all the pyschiatric drugs and end up a zombie is a pretty good idea IMO

What kind of help do you think they would give if they evaluate your mental health is poor?

Today, we use json. How do we integrate it into our shell scripts? That's right, we simply make a tool (jq, miller) that takes stdin json, and _continue_ to use the agnostic, untyped tools alongside it, because they are just that, agnostic.

> In the impulsive case, even minor obstructions can cause the immediate impulse to fade

This is the reasoning behind the limits on pack sizes of paracetamol (acetaminophen for Americans) in the UK, for example (you can buy only 32x 500mg pills at a time, and pack sizes are limited to 32 in pharmacies and 16 outside of pharmacies). There are about 10 shops within 10 minutes walk from each other near me that'd all sell it, so it's not like it'd be a barrier to someone desperately wanting a larger number of pills.

The decision followed investigation that showed that a lot of the time suicide attempts with paracetamol didn't even involve buying more, but simply consuming whatever was already in the house, and so even reducing the typical amount people would have available to them was seen as a potentially worthwhile.

It does appear that it had some effect:
