Seems quite useful. I've seen many startups trying to build AI spreadsheet but most of them are for easier reporting and charts – in which case microsoft and google bard will do a great job anyways. It's just a matter of time.

Tuesday is for automating research, summary, translation work. It's what AI does best, and what humans waste a lot of time doing today.

Would be very cool if this can replace low skilled human workers and free up time for more creative stuff.
This is exactly one of the use-cases for the Scale Framework[1]. (Full disclosure: I work on this project)

You can absolutely take a library from one language and run it in another. In a sense, you could kind of see this ability as drastically reducing the need for rewriting sdks, middlewares, etc. across languages, as you could just reuse code from one language across many others. We played around with some fun ideas here, like taking a Rust regex library and using it in a Golang program via a scale function plugin (compiled to Wasm), to the effect of the performance being ~4x faster than native code that uses Go's regex library[2].

I think the most pertinent change is the H1-B visa holders being able to come over, would be interesting to see how this pans out.
Even if it should be possible to design Arm CPUs competitive with the x86 CPUs, there are a lot of application domains for which no vendor of Arm CPUs has ever attempted to make competitive Arm CPUs.

For example, for scientific computation and computer-aided design, Fujitsu is the only company that has designed Arm CPUs that can compete with the x86 CPUs, but they do not sell their CPUs on the free market.

For a huge company, the floating-point performance of the CPUs is less important, because they can use datacenter GPUs with even greater throughput, so the existing Arm server CPUs could be good enough even for a supercomputer, as they only have to move the data to and from the GPUs. However the small businesses and the individuals cannot use datacenter GPUs, which have huge prices, so they can use only x86 CPUs and there is not the slightest chance of any alternative that would appear soon.

Another application domain for which no Arm vendor has ever made competitive devices is for cheap personal computers.

Nothing what Apple does matters, because they do not sell computers, they only lend computers that remain under their control and which are much more expensive than their alternatives anyway.

Besides Apple, only Qualcomm, Mediatek and NVIDIA are able to make Arm CPUs with a performance similar to the cheapest of the Intel and AMD CPUs, but all these 3 companies demand for their CPUs prices that are several times higher than the prices of comparable x86 CPUs.

Like for CPUs with high floating-point or big integer performance, there is not the slightest chance for the appearance of any company that would be willing to sell Arm CPUs that are both cheap and fast.

Also for server CPUs, all the companies that have attempted to design Arm-based server CPUs have never designed models suitable for small businesses or individuals, but only models that can be bought only by very big companies.

I would not mind to switch from x86 to Arm, but there is absolutely no perspective for that.

If the x86 CPUs would disappear, that would be a catastrophe for the people who do not want to depend on the mercy of the big companies. That would be a return to the times from before the personal computers, when all computing had to be done remotely, in the computing centers of big companies, which have been renamed now as "clouds".
But cruise is developing self driving “public transit vehicles” as well.

It is a crime to misreport to VAERS. The only people I have seen with "proof" are people who knowingly submitted a false report to "prove" how easy it was to get a report to be accepted. This was done by some who was pro-vaccine as well.
Factorio is extremely mod friendly

If it doesn't exist you can probably wedge it in fairly easily.

I suggest that it would be worth your time to give it a poke just to see what a thoroughly excellent example of software engineering they've made there.
It's actually usable as a capability system. You can just run code in a context without permissions and then pass in cap objects that are exposed to that context.
This is nuts. I want a version of this where Emma Thompson narrates my life like Stranger than Fiction.
Ferment them to give them richer flavour, improve their digestibility, and to extend their shelf life.

There are lots of resources available on lacto-fermentation, but basically you need some clean jars, salt, and clean water, plus some spices. Fermented vegetables do not spoil for many months, and are great soup bases for cream soups.
Yes, of course I didn't mean to suggest that you chose a specific symbol to make a political statement or anything like that. My thinking was more that if you were to suffer negative implications as a result of that choice, that would be a rather unfortunate outcome for you and your project.

> There's nothing at all dehumanising about the phrase "The Poor" (if you think there is, compare to eg “the rich”. Are we dehumanizing the rich every time we call them that?)

Yes. That's why anti-capitalist protests will criticise "the rich" and not "rich people".
There shouldn't be anything academic or contentious about the meaning of "inflation". Prices are what floor of the building you're on, inflation is how fast the elevator is going.

> [...] I was a young kid who thought I was smart and clever and thought I knew people. Prison dunked my head in a cold river of reality. Many people in these prisons have a strong criminal mindset. You learn by fucking up that there are always people who have had it worse, are more clever, stronger, but also more debased, cruel, and uncaring. From this though I have been forced to overcome my autism symptoms. I was thrown off by loud noises, physical contact, and was completely socially inept before I came to prison. Free world society softly caters to autistic kids but in prison you have no choice but to confront your mental health. In short, prison is an adverse environment which can bring out the good, or more often the bad, in people. As a young kid I learned quick that I couldn't rely on any staff or inmates as far as trust goes. I quickly saw I wasn't going to be babied and if I didn't fight for myself and who I was I would be lost. Not everyone becomes a paragon, very few do. [...]

Inverting the Inverted: Revisiting Dismissed Ideas in Research
Revisiting past ideas in research can create opportunities for progress, but also lead to controversies. In this article, I use the the Bit-Flip method, a pretty simple, yet effective method for approaching research projects, as a framework for analyzing some interesting shifts in assumptions in research works. In particular, I focus on shifts that brought back dismissed ideas.
I agree on the warrant point, but how could they bug the family of any US person unless that person or those family members are out of the country?
Hardware startups aren’t going to stand a chance because they have to fight for the scraps of capacity that is left over after Apple and NVidia and the cloud providers use what they can.
Yes! All you have to do to make a lisp is to make a thing and call it a lisp. Lists are recommended, but optional.
I enjoyed this take, it identifies a problem but doesn't take an extreme, foot stamping view which will offend a lot of people on one side or another.

I am a humanist, and I have always tried to deal with everyone fairly. I still get pulled up occasionally on using language that is apparently now offensive. Oops, no offense meant.

I will also now give up 70% of the way through the hyperstitious slur!

It took emigration to another country for me to first experience the web of overlapping voluntary associations as a basis for town life which Tocqueville had noted when describing (an earlier instantiation of) the Old Country in Democracy in America (1835).
I agree: The solution is to change government spending so that public goods are sufficient to render other options moot.

But the VC investment didn't cause the underinvestment of infrastructure. Rather, they stepped in to fill the void with other viable options when government initiatives failed to materialize. Example: where's my high-speed rail?!

Data Protection Complaint That YouTube's AdBlocker Blocker Violates Privacy Laws
It’s similar in way to the development of an embryo with a mass of cells and massive chemical and electrical organization. Seems like metamorphosis is just that process except the initial cells come from the caterpillar. One organism going through two different embryo development processes over its lifetime to generate two very different end results. It’s even crazier that some butterflies don’t even have any mouthparts or a way to feed. They are just meant to get far away and reproduce.
> This is much like legislation around traditional weapons.

The problem with that comparison is that it would be very obvious and noteworthy if Nestle started to drop bombs or hired mercenaries to prey on villages who tried to fight their abusive water practices, or whatever analogous weapons fiction you can imagine to Big Tech abusing their data and resources for invasive spying. People would die and/or be injured, likely property would be destroyed--these are extremely tangible things.

Big tech could be using facial recognition for years and fly under the radar. Privacy is essentially intangible.

> Your contract is worth the price of the paper it's written on.

Contracts are generally worth more than that, because they give you a basis on which you can successfully sue. However, that means that a contract's value depends on what you're willing and able to do to enforce it.
Did you read the article? Did you understand it? CASA doesn't postulate that users in the 90s interacted with computers as if they were literally other humans.
This is how most of us casual linux users learned about Wayland.
I agree. this theory sounds ludicrous to me except for people who maybe have absolutely zero technical know-how
And it doesn’t look like there is any Linux or supporting Linux elements embedded into that image I don’t think? (From what I saw in the page dang posted/updated)
Wayland is a replacement for X11 which is now ten or more years old and still not feature complete. It will be the future of all graphical interfaces, or maybe we will still be running X11 with extensions in 2050.
Inflation isn’t prices. It’s rate of change of prices.
Yep, Z3 can do exactly this using BitVec and passed to prove() or just compare the expressions directly..
Based on how the air intake/outtake works, it seems like it will be limited to a single "cylinder" for now so it's not a silver bullet that can replace a rotary engine in something like the RX8.

Edit: There are other features of this design that seem like they would limit how far it can scale. For example, the "crankshaft" is hollow to carry air for combustion. This surely limits how much torque it can handle vs a traditional solid shaft.

Still, this is very cool and I hope they can overcome these challenges.

AMD is "CUDA compatible" in theory.

Intel is taking a slightly different approach, and is going for "PyTorch compatible."

You will hear endless negative anecdotes about ROCm/OpenVINO, but they both do seem to be getting better with each update.
I think real-world examples are very dangerous to provide here, because they can easily derail the conversation into arguing about the validity of those examples, because if they are currently unconventional ideas, someone with orthodox privilege will see them as simply false, and bad examples. That's the blindness referred to.

The Zeitgeist around the date PG wrote this article is probably no coincidence; if you really want recent examples of divisive topics.

Historical examples are great for that reason, and there are plenty in the history of science. One typical example I love, is Wegener's theory of continental drift and how long it was ridiculed, hindering scientific progress, before it was finally accepted many decades later, in the form of the theory of plate tectonics.
Ask HN: What do you want to see in a systems programming language?
I am working on a new systems programming language, similar to C++ with syntax that somewhat resembles Go or LLVM in some ways. While it isnt quite ready (at least a month away from alpha release), I am curious what features are the most desired in a systems programming language. I'd like to get inspiration for new language features. Pain points with C++, Rust, C, Zig etc.. What you like, don't like, etc.

How do you think a significant chunk of people outside of US live? Commute in public transit within city limits, go camping in your car… The problem in NA, we planned public transit so bad that it is very inconvenient to do anything. The second it becomes a better choice than driving, it’ll be used even more.

Like it’s a no-brainer for me to ever drive while i’m within the city limits of Vancouver, but for hikes and camping, it’s the obvious choice. Same with metro areas of European cities. I won’t even bring Asian cities as example, because it’s cheating.

Chicken and egg problem in terms of investment and public perception though. Inability to build large scale infrastructure also makes it impossible.

The solution I've been pretty happy with instead of Wayland fractional scaling is to have scaling set at 1:1 and use GDK_DPI_SCALE (I think that's the one) at 1.5 or 1.25 or whatever. Things like Firefox, Chrome, the standard GTK system apps will scale nicely, and stuff that doesn't support it will just be small instead of doing a blurry zoom.

"Web sites"? Isn't a large part of the useful small web about single projects or pages?

And then discoverability is what HN does - although scalability is not there.

That is, it's not all that important that someone has a personal site with travel photos. If in there they have 3 awesome reviews and summaries of economics books then I'd like to find THOSE. There is no or there should be no obligation of consistency, body of work, or overall project in discovering worthy single essays.

Something like "long form cooperative bookmarking"?
Another interesting excerpt:

> When a charge is programmed into a flash memory device, its electric field
has an effect on any signal passing through it. In the Mythic architecture, the
flash transistor acts as a variable resistor that reduces the signal level passing
to the output. That reduction is proportional to the analog value stored in the
memory. This simple effect implements the multiplication stage found in
DNN calculations. The accumulation process, in which the output from each
of those calculations is summed, is handled by aggregating the output of an
entire column of memory cells. Thanks to these two properties, the Mythic
architecture can process an entire input vector in a single step rather than
iterating at high speed as in a digital processor
