What I mean is that the stories and comments get flagged/killed and shut down very early. I'm surprised the story is still up.
Logic (simulation) is running on the CPU. And it's not the CPU that's running on 100%, even on an empty map.

Sure, maybe they run some neural network on the GPU (for ... pathfinding? or what?), but it's highly unlikely. And again, empty map.

Yes, probably someone went rather overboard with GI and other shaders.
No, it is not okay for Israel to steal land, oppress and kill people with impunity
Agree in part but also I think Terry is such an outlier (though also generous and humble) that it’s hard to extrapolate from this example to a more general case
> How did they explain what plotting was without defining a line?

Most plots aren't lines, so there's no reason this task would require defining a line. In fact, the shape formed by a graph is called a "curve" for just this reason.
This is reductio ad absurdam.

Planetquake. Or just quake.

Incidentally, Sol isn't an 'official' name for our sun. The term 'solar power' is more like a brand-name that's been genericised.
It sounds like you agree with me and not with the person I was replying to?
Feels the same in linear algebra where you may be thinking you're building new stuff (e.g. specific trick to fit your specific kind of complex covariance toeplitz matrix parallel and vectorized batch-inversion problem with very little fast shared memory) but it turns out all the parts are already explored in ahard-to-parse textbooks somewhere).
Yeah cool dad award. I wonder how many hours of questioning came from the back of the car before he explained it.
You may not have used them but there were definitely third spaces for children and teens in the form of play areas and parks. Add skate parks to that list if you grew up in the early 00s, and probably something else before that.

It’s more expensive for the prof to hire the student.

At MIT it is easily 100k per year to fund a PhD student. But phd student gets much less than half of that.
You’d have to keep track of which proofs you’ve already seen, to prevent re-use. You’d have to make sure the (source, source port, destination and destination port)-tuple is a cryptographic part of the algorithm, to prevent me using the same proof of work for like a million machines.

Then there’s the issue of low power and/or battery-powered devices. You want people to be able to use your protocol without draining the battery. But by lowering the computational cost to accomodate that, you’re enabling the bad guys that can afford a fast GPU to go back to abusing the protocol cause the cost isn’t sufficiently high to deter them anymore.

And I’m sure there are plenty of other things I haven’t thought of.
Zero is interesting because it is the only natural number that is a cardinal number but not an ordinal number. An array can have zero (no) elements, but it can't have a "zeroth" element. Despite some programming languages suggesting otherwise.
0 as a symbol didn't exist for millenia, and people were still counting and doing complex math.

The teacher is acting as if its existence as a number is obvious.
It's crazy how even X3 is still so much behind M1 in most raw performance metrics.
Maybe Google doesn't see how it can turn AI into a low traction product that will only be used for renaming and turning some cosmetic improvements to justify someone's promotion

Google truly has grown complacent and whoever has a good idea feel like they can't develop it there. But if you have an idea on how Google can lose money and reputation by retiring another product they're all ears
At least temporarily old images weren't available and some people cared: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/2023/08/19/twitter-de...
I was also surprised - but I imagine it's due to timing. I would guess this will get more nuanced discussion outside US hours.
Because it’s about competition.

If you have a 10% market share and you use that 10% market share to expand into other markets then you’re increasing competition.

But if you have a 90% market share, then you’re not simply just expanding into other markets, you’re eliminating competition from those markets.

Imaging you have a birthday cake but you said only your best friend could eat it. That would be unfair to the other guests. But if everyone turned up with their own cakes and offers up slices to other people, it then means everyone gets cake and it doesn’t matter as much who you give your cake too.
Thank you for sharing your insight. Your post is one of those things that makes HN great. Outstanding!
Best comment on this thread made me laugh
No, we haven't gotten on the boat. Who cares how dirty energy is when so much of it is wasted? Who cares if electricity comes from solar or wind, if you're still adding PFAS to any furniture and other dirty chemicals in all food supply chains.

Industrial lobbies (aka "green capitalism") are trying to frame the debate as a question of clean energies, but for decades scientists have known and studied that consuming less, and more durable products is the only way out of this global crisis. Another example, industrial organic agriculture (yes that's a thing) is still very damaging to the environment in many ways (eg. contributing to desertification of soils), while permaculture/agroforestry is good for everyone but less profitable.

So i replied to the original comment in good faith, but such arguments are usually pushed by industrialists who explicitly profit from destroying the environment and silencing the narratives of actual scientists and environmentalists. Capitalism is what destroyed everything (see also scientists naming this geological era "capitalocene"), and nothing it can produce it can fix the inherent death-bringing at its core.
Ask HN: What is the most promising AI tool in cloud ecosystem?
As a platform engineer whose expertise is Kubernetes and Cloud, I am looking for AI tools/projects to learn/try. What projects are on your radar?

I guess many companies will need to run their own LLMs on their k8s clusters and we will see many projects in this area. I want to be early adopter and looking for new projects.
Agreed, generic ARM cores are weak. The solution is to go custom like Apple did and soon Qualcomm with Oryon Cores.
Yeah agreed, the stakes are immense for those with propaganda goals.

To expand... I'm commenting from personal experience. I have no stake, besides an ever intensifying weltschmerz every time I turn on the news. But I see friends and acquaintances take super harsh positions: "they got it coming!", "we must fight! We have the right!", "all bystanders must pick a side (ours) or else you are complicit too!", "the other side is inhuman and has no right to exist!"

And so few people I know are reacting in a de-escalatory manner. We collectively gaze into a bottomless pit of despair.
They may have missed what the teacher was trying to convey but this serves as an example, to me, of how some people just think differently. The girl who was fixated on shape, for instance. She saw two zeros making an 8. I think we need to be able to recognize early on that some people think differently than the "typical" person, and that they should be understood and perhaps taken down an educational path that fits their mind instead of just trying to pound the correct answers into their head. Sure, teach them the concept of zero as a number, but also recognize that these people are not typical.

I used to assume that all humans had an internal dialog. This is not the case. Although most do, some people do not or cannot talk to themselves silently in their own head. This blew my mind. I viewed this as the core of being human.

I had been interviewing for jobs and found that my internal dialog would kick in and just wreck my shit during interviews. After learning that some people don't have this I considered that I can just shut mine off if I need to. Basically telling myself to shut up. This did wonders for me, and helped me stay on track during interviews and helped to stop negative thoughts that I might have at other times. The internal dialog has value, but I have learned to control it because I no longer consider it essential to being human. This had just never occurred to me before.

The point is, there is neurodivergance in humans. We do not all think the same and trying to mold all children into a thinking the same "correct" way is rather barbaric. Failing to acknowledge that people think differently on a fundamental level is also hurting everyone in some way.

Some people can't see images in their head. Again, I had always assumed that all humans could picture anything they wanted, not true. And often these people are visual artists!
Energy drinks, while they have their own additives, I don't think they are the ones listed here as being possibly neuroprotective.

Artful Deals: The Rise of Paint by Numbers Kits on Black Friday
Black Friday is one of the most important shopping periods of the year, and it's not surprising that individuals across the world are anxious to get a handle on some of the finest discounts available. Paint by Numbers kits are one of the most popular things on people's shopping lists in the world of arts and crafts. Even the most gifted painters can make masterpieces with these kits.

For those of you who are familiar with Paint by Numbers, it is a system of painting kits that provide you with cut-in-advance canvases, each marked with a number that corresponds to a specific paint color. It's an excellent way for people of every level of artistry to produce clear and detailed pieces, so you don't have to be scared by blank canvases.

With good reason, Black Friday is one of the most popular shopping times of the year. It's the ideal time for painting lovers to look for the best prices on Paint by Numbers kits. As painting using numerical guidance continues to rise in popularity, shops are now stocking up on an extensive selection of structures at cheaper prices.

Top-selling Paint by Numbers Kits:

Nature's Serenity: These relaxing kits are some of the most popular, whether it's a confused mountain or a calm lake. They not only provide a relaxing painting experience, but they also create gorgeous pieces that would look wonderful in any home.

Wildlife Wonders: Wildlife-themed kits come in all kinds of forms, from lovely lions to bright birds. They are a challenge, with precise detailing and an extensive selection of colors.

Floral Fantasies: Flowers have long had a unique place in the hearts of painters, with their vibrant hues and varied shapes. Floral kits are popular with artists who desire to capture the beauty of nature.

Starry Skies and Cosmic Themes: Artists have been attracted to kits that enable them to replicate iconic paintings such as Van Gogh's "Starry Night" or to take inspiration from outer space, such as the galaxy and galaxies.

It's safe to say that Paint by Numbers Black Friday has created a name for itself in the art world. It's an affordable and enjoyable technique to express yourself, regardless of your age or degree of knowledge. Black Friday is an outstanding chance for art fans to purchase the most popular and unique kits at the lowest rates, which is why the art world looks forward to it each year.
While the DevOps and data management is critical, if you are able to understand what the different components and layers do you can go a lot further than someone who can only retrain someone else's models on different data. Academia hasn't provided reference architectures for a lot of difficult industry problems that still need solving.
The web server seems to have received the HN hug of death, but there's a video by the same author at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAMtdQ-h_dk

So you want the right-wing zealots in power to eject themselves? Or you expect a ground swell of support for left candidates who would tend to favor making peace with an enemy who just attacked you? Best case is that Hamas is completely routed (who knows) and Bibi takes all the flak for the war crimes and what have you. What happens if Israel does what you say but are still suffering attacks? How much antisemitism exists there?
"Round number" is specifically an ambiguous terminology though. You could use "integer" instead, but it's really more to do with the concept of significant figures. e.g. 129 is an integer, but 130 is a "rounder number" than 129 and 100 is rounder still. To make it more confusing, decimal numbers ending in 5 (before the zeros) are often considered round, 150 is rounder than 130.

However, mathematically there's a totally different definition: A round number is a number that is the product of a considerable number of comparatively small factors. That means that 24 is rounder than 25.
> By contrast, it is so good to see that death by drowning and car accidents have plummeted over the last 50 years.

Yes, less deaths are obviously a positive. However, could this be because of helicopter'ing adults? From kids not being allowed to be kids and put themselves in adverse places and face tough decisions?

Mom won't let Johnny drive, she drives instead.

Dad won't let Jane go out with friends on a camping trip.

Those will save lives, yes? Adversity by definition means risk. Is it possible that eventally these kids will grow up and in say 20 years become adult suicides or maybe don't go that far but are joy-less dysfunctional (?) adults? And eventually they pass that "DNA" along to their kids?

Helicopter parenting has longer term implications that we have yet to face. We can't have adversity without risk.
My math teachers would have marked it incorrect if I didn't indicate it went on forever, unless the problem stipulated bounds.
No inside knowledge but the “changed” account numbers sounds a lot like their banking partner (evolve) withdrew service with a few weeks notice, which would explain “temporarily” withdrawing cards too — as they’re linked to Evolve.

I’d normally guess a contract dispute (with Evolve leveraging their position, and Wise calling their bluff) but the mentions in this thread of overwhelmed verification and fraud, it seems plausible evolve withdrew from the relationship for cause.

Well that's the problem, you will not see the glass wall until too late. For my case, that you can add API middleware, but you can't run any "not edge compatible" code because of Vercel reasons.
That means all the work they did on their own AI has failed. So they are buying someone else's AI.
I'd suggest looking up 'heart rate variability'. If the headphones are sensitive enough to measure that, it would be quite possible to build a stress-response profile of you with regards to different content.

For multihoming, MPTCP is an interesting alternative and it's full of interesting features. Once it's more spread out it'd be interesting to know which features are really used.

I haven't seen SCTP mentionned in here so I'll just say that learning and using it, first in trying to find 'a better UDP' and then in anger to solve a multihoming/high-availability problem (which ended up in TCP + checkpoint/restore anyway...) was an eye opening experience on 'what could have been', especially having it work over UDP.

Now QUIC is there, gathering a big chunk of the SCTP featureset and adding proper encryption support (where IIRC SCTP only had TLS per stream).
Do you have any actual numbers on that? Are they even remotely the same area?

E.g. Wikipedia says X3 has 512-1024kB of L2 cache per core, M1 has 3MB.
Kids these days are indeed very willing to admit when they don't know things! I do suspect the openness is downstream of the slow cultural realization that there is just too much to know for any one human being to truly know it all. Smart parents are more willing than ever on the margin to say they don't know things, and the children learn from that example that this is okay to admit.

To be fair it depends on the audience. As a dev I don't want to wade through a git tutorial for any project I look at, I already know how to use git. But if your audience isn't other software devs then yeah you should probably start from the beginning. This is why we have installers because no one wants to do the work to install or explain how either.
Compared to scientific articles though, writers haven't discovered anything new in a long while. Has there been a new archetype or plot in the last century?

Almost all the innovation in storytelling and communication is happening in mediums that don't lean as heavily on longform writing as literature. Case in point, if you want to look at the biggest influence on discrediting CNN's propaganda it would probably be ... Trump, on Twitter, screaming "Fake News!" endlessly. That did a lot more to undermine their brand than any academic analysis.
All you're interested in is ephemeral window dressing.

The best literature stands alone, in time and space. The world that created the Epic of Gilgamesh no longer exists and is completely alien to us. And yet the epic is reskinned every century for a new audience. Things change and yet everything is the same.

Maybe you're not old enough to realise. I was a neophile too, once.
Because Google is still a household brand. Everyone is familiar with Google search, Google Mail, Google Maps, Android, etc.

And Chome came at a time when people were fed up with Internet Explorer. There was a gap in the market when Chrome came along. Remember that Firefox was beating the competition for a period back then too. But Mozilla isn’t a household name like Google. You don’t say “I Mozilled something last night.” Google is such a common name that people literally use it as a verb.

But that all said, if Chome was released today with Edge being where it’s currently at (yes, I know Edge is based on Chromium, but let’s look past that for the sake of this hypothetical), Google would have a harder job gaining market share.
Americans' opinions about the state of the economy have diverged from reality
My belief as well.

"Hey kids. You're inheriting a cluster fuck. There's hate, and war, and gloom & doom around every corner. But look, we give you...The Kardashians!!! And never forget, here's a never ending list of things you need to worry about...Don't go outside, it's dangerous. Eat this shite fake food and they worry about your heakth...and so on..."

But it's social media to blame??? That disconnect would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Yep. This is one of the biggest reasons everyone is furious at Benjamin Netnyahu. For 30 years he supported and used the Hamas as a cudgel against the PLO and as a threat against the moderates. The amount of stupidity around this is mind boggling.
Just imagine how perfect the world would be if we started counting at zero, though
Unfortunately your comment is of very limited value until you actually begin explaining.
> The WinterJS server is published in Wasmer as wasmer/winterjs.

Struggling with the assumed knowledge here, and having to hop a number of pages. What is wasmer? Why is this published there and not npm.

I think there is a new set or layer of terminology, some very close to each other, that the wasm world introduces but which nobody wants to explain. That leads to confusing when trying to understand a project like this.
Didn’t find it too convincing. He says Coroutines are for fine-granular concurrency, and Virtual Threads for coarse thread-per-request apps. In my experience fine granular concurrency is rare, and thread-per-request is 99% of the work. This might be different for Android development, but its true for server side code.

The cost you pay for this gain in fine grained control (which you rarely need) is unfortunately the colored function problem, and in my experience it is rather annoying. Also the complexity of having a second unit-of-computation abstraction besides threads, and Coroutines aren’t a small API surface (goes along with Flows).

tl;dr: the inferior developer experience (added complexity, colored functions) must be offset by a gain in usefulness, and I just don’t see it
>And so few people I know are reacting in a de-escalatory manner. We collectively gaze into a bottomless pit of despair.

Well said. That's where I'm at. I'm very confused why anyone would be working against a "pause" (is there a synonym that's less controversial?).
I ran windows update last night on a modern laptop and now it just blue screens instead of starting.

I will probably just install fedora on it too. I seem to have nothing but unwanted surprises on windows.
What why ? The term that you work for Vercel should be at the top so that people realise this isnt a neutral 3rd party but a company paid spokesperson.

You may achieve this by only visiting websites or pages with tailored feeds.

The problem is that it requires a bit of self discipline. Google and Meta are probably safe then...

This one is based on Qt Web Engine, which uses Blink (behind Chromium). Similarly, you also have Falkon, from the KDE project.

> Not sure why my original post was downvoted.

I didn't downvote, however I initially found your message a bit off-topic. The article is about a brand new browser engine, for fun, in js, and you are saying that you wish the dev worked on this abandoned browser UI. These things are actually quite far, in the intent, motives and technically.
"I didn't know kids are that smart." Yes!! I wish more people recognized this. There's a "Free Range Kids"[0] movement growing out of this fact. A lot of people have ended up in a place where unstructured/unsupervised time is seen as a "waste" for kids, but I think this is the wrong direction. I think Khan Academy's new experimental high school[1] is also built around this fact (that kids are smart & just need access to resources & meaningful work)

Well, we in the UK have issues with raw sewage being pumped out to the seas. It's not for nothing that we're known as the dirty old man of Europe.
Rotax 900 series also have a maximum rpm of 5800, substantially higher than old school aero engines, which also helps improving power/weight.
