I am fairly sure someone will make some. Just like we had Lisp machines and even specific JVM CPUs.

But my prediction is that those will always stay niche, because running WASM on conventional stock hardware will always be faster in general. Mostly because WASM was designed to run fast on stock hardware, and the economics of scale for conventional general purpose processors are much better.

Compare also how the 'International Conference on Functional Programming' started out as the 'Functional Programming and Computer Architecture' conference, but then people figured out how to compile lazy functional programming languages like Haskell to run efficiently on conventional hardware.

Similar also for the Lisp and Java machines: one reason see we don't see things like them anymore is because compiler technology has caught up.

Hurricanes are now twice as likely to zip from minor to whopper than decades ago, study says

https://phys.org/news/2023-10-hurricanes-minor-whopper-decad...

With warmer oceans serving as fuel, Atlantic hurricanes are now more than twice as likely as before to rapidly intensify from wimpy minor hurricanes to powerful and catastrophic, a study said Thursday.

70% of 225 kWh is 158 kWh. To transfer that much in 20 minutes would require 473 kW. The latest supercharger is rated at 250 kW, which is the limit for a 400 volt battery. So I'm going to say it would require a 800 volt battery and 500 kW charger.
It's interesting that HN discussions overwhelmingly use Imperial/English/American/whatever - to the point where people sometimes don't consider that metric is common in the real world. There's a fairly international and highly technical population here.
I'd never really thought about it, but in a capitalist society like the US, this is how you really determine how safe something is: how much does it cost to insure?
There is an ongoing transformation of education towards a skills-focused and tech-enabled educational model. The learning community is shifting away from traditional four-year degrees, with major tech companies no longer requiring them and instead emphasising skills. In this information-rich Credentialate Guide, we ask – what does Next Generation Learning look like? What are the challenges and opportunities associated with shifting to skills-based education? How can technology, such as digital credentials, be leveraged to create a more robust and accessible system for documenting and verifying skills and competencies? What role do community colleges, vocational education, and emerging technologies like AI play in the evolving education landscape.
I disagree. This is a spot on article.

> But the question wasn't answered

That's because you asked a question with no valid answer.

Seriously, what would you accept as being an innocent response? Anything equivalent to "I thought it was neat" is apparently not good enough since that sentiment was already in the previous post.

If you want to accuse them of being a shill, just do it directly. (But only if you have a good enough reason to break the rule against doing so.) Don't do this roundabout "what's your motivation" thing where you implicitly reject the innocent motivation.

And why would it need to have "other value"?

Since I'm the only one that responded, are you suggesting I'm in cahoots with them? Come on, dude.

Game theory says that each party should receive their Shapley value. In the case of having one guy who owns the USB drive and N guys who are capable of decrypting it with equal proficiency, then the one guy's Shapley value is N/(N+1) of the reward and the other guys' are 1/(N+1) of the reward.

Honestly, I haven't the faintest clue what you're talking about in any of the comments in this thread. I was just trying to say that I haven't felt so bamboozled since the one time I tried doing policy debate, which was different from the usual form of debate I participated in (Lincoln-Douglas). I was a decent debater, but policy debate was entirely inscrutable. Gish galloping was the name of the game - trotting out as many arguments, as quickly as possible, in as little time so as to trip up the opponent on some minor point they missed. I linked to Kritik because your seemingly random inclusion of critical theory reminded me of this convoluted type of argument which, if not responded to, will lose you the entire round.

Everything you said in this thread reminded me of that experience. Good day to you.

If you do not have another vehicle available except the EV, you have to think: will driving from SF to LA be a nightmare? It is less the case than it used to be, but coinciding the recharge with a lunch stop is probably wise.
> Since you’ve priced in the entire lifecycle of every watt of electricity

I didn't. That's the number without externalized CO2 costs. With those it's closer to 0.48 kg/kWh which comes out at 10kg CO2 per 100km.

As I said above, I am not trying to argue against EVs. It's mostly that the German energy mix sucks.

(We switched of all our nuclear plants some time ago and now rely on coal again ...)

But similar initiatives will appear everywhere in the end once they land somewhere (outside openly totalitarian regimes where they are already in place, like China). They have to be stopped, but I am afraid they will happen in the end, everywhere; once they happen in some western countries, others will have the blueprint to copy to theirs. And citizens everywhere are being lied to; most non tech (but also tech) people think this is a good thing. Friends in the US, UK and AU are applauding this type of stuff coming to their countries. Because of the children.

Unfortunately no one takes it serious enough to take massive ad and tv campaigns to member states and educate the public that this is simply bad for everyone and doesn’t help the children.

Sure it may. But it also saddles them with a bunch of beehives that they have to maintain in perpetuity. It’s cute to think that a “natural” solution like “learn beekeeping” can solve this problem, but that warm and fuzzy feeling is for you, not the farmers in question. Practically speaking, a battery powered speaker is not going to have a higher opportunity cost for these farmers than a beehive.
Not mentioned is that this is the second time this year that a hurricane has undergone nearly record-breaking rapid intensification.

> Either you think downloading an mp3 is wrong or you don't.

No, I don't think my sense of morality inherently has anything to say about downloading an mp3, one way or the other. There's no instinct in humans that pattern-matches on the idea of copying information that someone else created being a particular "cultural touchstone" or "human right", nor of it being "disgusting" or "taboo."

But something being "not immoral" doesn't make it okay. Without a clear sense of moral value to an action, that action's worth comes down to an ethical question — a question that has to be resolved with ethical arguments, questions of utility and harm and fairness and "the curtain of ignorance" and so forth.

And my point is that you're failing to make those arguments.
Guess you can't let people correct their mistakes

> 1. People who were too busy to study to learn how to code would definitely be too busy to grind leetcode as well as adults who are already in the industry with families

I think many more people have the opportunity to grind leetcode than have the opportunity to "take the time to learn a new to you technology" that they can then apply to a work project - which requires not just time but also having the right work environment in which they can apply it. Of course you're right that many people don't have the time for either, and a handful of professional-managerial class people who are already in good jobs might be able to do the latter during work hours but not the former.

> whether you are the kind of person that I can assign a task like “a customer has some vague idea of what they want. I need you to figure out the details and come up with a proposal and a design and present it to them and get feedback”.

> I want to know if they have a history of “delivering results “.

Do you think you're measuring something objective about their ability to do the job? To the extent that you are, do you think what you're measuring is something different / better than "has decent general intelligence + has existed in professional-managerial-class spaces (or, more specifically, in jobs like this one) for a while?" Do you have evidence about the answers to either of those questions?

I have to think there's a fair amount of political pressure these days to not be all-in on China.

See: any cut-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face trade rules. This isn't like dealing with the USSR, where the manufacturing infrastructure was admittedly a fair bit further back. We already taught them everything they know! Even if we can say "No new toys from ASML or nVidia", it just means it takes them a few years longer to develop comparable tech... and we don't get a cut of the deal.

I feel like the real interesting angle is what happens if the US loses its "aspirational" status, more so than any specific military or economic goal. How long will the world continue to look to Washington for leadership? I think they're already losing a lot of the developing world, with lack of a compelling alternative to Belt And Road and the BRICS-etc. organization.
Also, depending on where you are, it allows more distance between charging stations.

It was the best-known and most influental fantasy fiction on Earth before the cartoons. Anyone with more than a passing interest in fantasy was at least aware of Lord of the Rings. I'm sure the cartoons helped, and I also loved the Hobbit movie, but I think you're making your own experience more universal than it really was.
It takes 2mins, once, to install the required extension for your language and then you get to have remote dev and multi lang dev capabilities that you can't get on jetbrains no matter what. It also improves much faster than any jetbrains ide did in my experience. Just the terminal is so much better now on vscode, and hasn't changed at all on jetbrains (and it's not because it is already perfect either.)

I'm sure it's better for java though, haven't tried that.

Yeah, but there are obvious differences. A lot of people watched TV with their families or friends, although this is likely less frequent now with streaming. The amount of interactivity, portability, and solitude that the iPad affords its users with is undoubtedly bad for developing minds, at least in large doses.
That's basically the opposite of the City of Chicago who did pretty much everything they could do behind the scenes to frustrate and ridicule you just for asking for some public information.
It can be both.

LOTR is the gold standard of Fantasy, and if you got anywhere near that, it was always recommended. I grew up in the 70s and 80s, so well after the novels were published, and they were still ubiquitous.

Which of course does not negate the introduction that the animated series or movies had on their continued popularity. Each experience can be different. All roads can lead to Rome.

I would say that there's a reason LOTR remains huge, while C&H is mostly nostalgia by an aging fan base. LOTR reinvents, C&H is locked in a decision point in time.

I guess in like 65 years it'll enter the public domain and we'll see if dome enterprising publisher decides its worth repeating.
My favorite algorithm for generating Voronoi diagrams is the Jumping flood algorithm:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_flooding_algorithm

This is an approximate algorithm that only works in pixel space, but it's lots of fun to implement (simpler to implement than Fortune's algorithm).
I think you mean pedantry.

Read it however you like. I intend to give a realistic opinion based on my own experience and that of other freelancers I know. I've read or heard starry-eyed dreams of "just writing code the way I want to do it" as if that would somehow generate an income. Writing whatever code you want in your own way defines a hobbyist. Developing an idea into a product defines an entrepreneur. Coding what someone else wants for money defines a freelancer.

I don't know what the OP imagines or wants. "Independent software developer" can describe any of the definitions I gave above. It can also describe "unemployed grinding out niche open source project." As a freelancer I have considerable independence, compared to employees, but I don't get to set all of the parameters because I have to deliver something my customers will pay for, on a schedule they agree to. The more history and trust I have with my customer the more input I have into the overall process and parameters.
100% agreed.

Car lanes in the city consume a significant public resource (space) and encourage negative externalities (noise, heat, air pollution, etc.).
They should absolutely be replaced with more space efficient options: tram tracks & bike lanes.
LOTR heavily inspired Dungeons and Dragons, especially the earlier versions.

That alone guarantees it’s immortality.
That’s a good point. So an hour long charge vs 30 minute charge with a SS battery could mean a 200 mile difference vs with a current battery it could be like 50 miles or less difference.
I'm really enjoying reading this. I understand why it needs to be so long, but I think it could have more reach if there were also a short primer that succinctly explains why OSI is wrong, and proposes a single alternative model.
I wonder if part of it was that they filled a gap that was sort of broken.

Low-end Android phones used to suck. Hell, even high-end ones. There was a lot of jank, battery life was mediocre, software looked and felt patched together.

Windows Phone delivered a really good experience even on the bottom-of-the-line hardware, Things were smooth, and most stuff (because it was either first-party or from committed devs) was built to fit the design language.
Christchurch is the logistics hub and support base for the US presence in Antarctica, so I believe all US facilities on the continent conduct their work in that time zone.
In automotive the OEMs almost exclusively purchase from suppliers like this and develop very little actually in house directly. That said, they can be heavily involved in its development, like it sounds in this case. This is partly done for liability reasons (supplier takes the liability if this battery catches on fire, not Toyota)

I had hit a deep moment in tranquility a while ago, while listening to Brian Eno's Music for Airports albums.

I don't remember exactly how, but I became one with the flow and nothing else matters
If you can sell America on trains, I don’t care what roundabout pathway you have to take to get there, I’m for it. If it’s just self driving cars on a dedicated roadway, fine by me.
I think with AI it's a bit of a different question then space travel. The flip side you have a limited time to add value before the activity is no longer valuable due to AI.

In general once a machine can do something (and AI is a machine) it quickly becomes no longer a highly valuable activity.

For example, being a portrait painter around the time cameras were invented.

So if there's a project that you think AI will do for you, just keep in mind that by the time AI gets there the effective value of that activity will have greatly diminished and you are unlikely to get out of it what you would if you do it today.

If you wait, you may find you've been reduced from highly trained master of fine art to just another guy who says "say cheese" and pushes a button.

The value of problems is not fixed.

The space version is an interesting comparison though, because while the value of space exploration would increase with speed of travel (due to being able to make use of resources across greater distances), the value of any technological accomplishment decreases as they become easier.
In my younger times I used to go to a lot of livestock auctions with the family. There was always a goat just casually standing by next to the egress gate of the arena to lead these panicked animals out, walk back in, and they would always follow it out
Communism was/still is (depends on how you feel about China) a system that billions of people lived through. I think there’s been a great amnesia about this in younger people who’ve never met someone who interacted with Really Existing Socialism
Yes they can. They are absolutely capable of looking at gestures. That matters a lot more when you're trying to determine the intent of a pedestrian than a driver. If it's another driver, the system can also do real time physics calculations to avoid a vehicle straying into the av's trajectory. And they might even do some kind of computer vision with other drivers to determine intent. Also if another driver just hits the car because they were distracted, why would the AV be at fault?

These are really sophisticated systems and they've really thought of a lot of issues. All of these companies have hundreds, if not thousands of engineers who have been working on this problem for over a decade, as well as an army of lawyers trying to get things into compliance. I don't think "well it can't do x as well as a human" is going to hold up in 10 or 20 years when these systems are clearly much safer. Human driven cars will eventually be uninsurable.
There was a restaurant called Flavor in Half Moon Bay that had probably my favorite burger ever, of all time/places. They shut down a few years ago. I didn't find that one in your SF/SJ listings, probably just out of range!

SELECT uid,(SELECT TT. logtime FROM TT where TT.uid=TTT. uid and TT.rk=1)

Complex SQL is not something that everyone encounters every day, and the financial industry often has more. And MATCH_ RECOGNIZE currently does not have the functionality of all databases, and we cannot require everyone to use such databases.
Furthermore, simple grammar is only superficial, and the new algebra will actually bring performance improvements. For example, using ordered grouping instead of hash grouping, using merge instead of hash when associating, and so on.
I’ve taken more than two dozen rides and there haven’t been any manual interventions so far.
I'm also curious about how to think about chunking for Doc-to-Doc similarity.

Say I have an input document that I want to use as my search query and a database of potential results documents.

It's not clear to me that I should simply embed both the input document and each of the results documents. If the documents contain a variety of ideas, I'd be nervous they wind getting embedded into some generic space.

But I don't have any good ideas as to what type of chunk-match-and-aggregate strategy might work well here.

Would love ideas from folks that have done stuff like this!
