Joining the Apple ecosystem makes a whole lot more sense than paying for Google's rubbish dump. I would not have imagined saying that a year ago. But if I was to pay, I'll pay for a quiet, satisfying life. Not for Google's cheapness - for sure, there is no actual value there for me. It's just a habit. The last fifteen years have been about a habit. Oh! I can choose something else! Wait until others get that idea.
I don't want to be 'that guy' but it's hard to determine exactly what that tweet says because the wording is so convoluted and indirected.

In particular the "that support flooding their country" part seems to have some articles missing, as such it could mean many things. I'd read 'their country' as meaning Israel in this context. I mean, if you're talking about Jewish people and you then use 'their country' the obvious implication is Israel.

As I said the entire thing is convoluted.
reiterating the analogy
I find it fascinating how you speak with so much authority. I know Jeanine Banks and I've been really upset with all the "diversity hire" nonsense coming from many of you who cannot hold a candle next to her. For your information she had been programmingor since high school and was hired into a government agency as a high school programmer-intern. That internship was her introduction into the worlf of technology. She has been an executive at GE and Amazon. Let's take alook at your resume and see if you can get into the rooms that Jeanine has been in. The condescension from many of you and particularly Ian's hit piece has been a disappointment to see.
I don't know, to me, that was not literature, but a guidebook with examples.

Here is Bill, he's tired and overworked. If only he can focus on the important tasks and clear the clutter...

Here is Security guy. He is grumpy and is in a war with the developers because they don't follow his ancient and unworkable security practices. if only he could update his security practices to something more modern and cool.

Here is Maxine. She is a PO. Her team is given task after task and not allowed to focus. If only Maxine could protect her team from outside influence...

Here is CEO guy. His company is failing and he is trigger happy on ever changing initiatives and transformations, and nothing comes to fruition. IF only he could chart the course for his team, set performance metrics, and not change direction every 15 seconds...

Here is operations linux admin guy. He has a bunch of scripts that make the deploys when devs throw some new garbage over the fence to him. He is mad because the devs wrote yet another service in yet another language, making the ratio of devs to languages used 10 to 17. If only he and the devs could agree on a deployment standard or read about the wonders of k8s...

If this kind of preachy obvious rhetoric inspires somebody to take a deep hard look at themselves, recognize their flaws, and change, more power to them. However, I am simply allergic to patronizing narratives like this.

> note that "if the project is behind we should make the engineers work 12 hours a day instead of 8" is common sense to a very large percentage of managers.

Then out with managers like that. Most engineers can do their job without a pencil pusher standing over their shoulder and trying to "manage" them. However, there are only few managers who actually can do anything useful without underlings...
No, for 4060 and 4060 TI the GPU is linked to only 8 of the 16 PCIe lanes, the other 8 are not used. Asus is using 4 of these unused lanes.

That's a great idea. I'll add a tooltip over some of the less obvious fields describing what they are.

Indeed! It's supported natively, so if you have an IPv6 address you should see it automatically. Here's an example <https://ip.guide/2600::>

> If the IP is associated with hostnames that would be nice to know.

I dig that idea, I'll have to think of the best way to pull that data while keeping the app stateless and fast.

Sorry, but what's the actual corporate structure here?

For software companies, investments are nominal in the sense that they come with responsible CFO's, budgeting and reporting structures that would prevent the money from being vacuumed into personal accounts for investment gambling.

Is it really the case that a Netflix would just wire $11M based on a promise? Or that they would tolerate the kind of hostaging that insists on building v2 before delivering v1?

I assumed that anyone in any field disbursing $1M+ contracts has provisions for monitoring, bad faith, etc. (and clawing back misappropriated fund). But not here?

The news media loves using association and innuendo to hold people's hands through some emotional journey instead of just copying/linking the damn source material and letting people judge for themselves. This has resulted in some quite tenuous and libelous accusations on other occasions, but in this case the characterization is on point:

https://nitter.net/elonmusk/status/1724908287471272299

@breakingbaht: "Okay. Jewish communties have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them. I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much. You want truth said to your face, there it is."

@elonmusk: "You have said the actual truth"

There's nothing defensible about this. Someone writes an intellectually lazy not-even-wrong racist rant, and Musk jumps in with validation and encouragement. It does not matter that there also happens to be some reasonable nuanced criticism that rant can be said to encompass - the original is still an overly broad racist rant that should be condemned by anyone interested in reasoned truth.
> Look at bedrock edition, the only people who play it are people who mis-clicked when buying or don't own a PC.

I would need a reference to believe that. The core minecraft community - streamers, modders, tech folks ... might be all about java edition. But I think bedrock is where the money and quantity is at this point. And despite what mojang says, I find it hard to believe that they want to maintain two code bases of converging games in the long run. Bedrock has the performance potential. Java has the mechanics that the core community prefers. Still.
Another happy mailu admin here. Although the domains aren't well used or critically important to day to day things.
First they are coming for the medival castle builders, then they come for the renaissance painters.

In all seriousness though, that's a pretty nice feat of robotics. The excavator has to work with stones that are not standardized and has to understand how they interact, my intuition is that that is a lot harder than building a regular brick wall.
PCIe latency is a few orders of magnitude lower than NAND flash read latency, so the extra round trip to the CPU's PCIe root complex doesn't matter.

I mean, if you have access to the actual Thunderbolt spec saying otherwise then so be it. Personally, I sincerely doubt that the PCIe packets containing USB 2.0 data are specially routed over the USB 2.0 wires like you say since that runs counter to literally everything public about how Thunderbolt 3 works.

Maybe the spec itself doesn't define a maximum bandwidth allocation for DisplayPort packets, but the DisplayPort stream has to come from somewhere and be output somewhere else, and with one single exception, the actual implementations support two HBR2 streams or one HBR3 stream, with each stream obviously being individually capped to 4 lanes at the physical DP interface.

(AFAIK the special mode combines one 4-lane HBR3 stream with a second 2-lane HBR3 stream)

Show HN: AlphaEdge – Options Trading Simulator for Enhanced Strategy Development
Hey Hacker News community! Super excited to share with you all this product we have been working on called AlphaEdge. https://alpha-edge.ai/

As an options trader, we found existing backtesting software underwhelming. They seemed unclear about fine details and test results/analysis were not helpful in a realistic trading envrionment. With AlphaEdge, we believe we have addressed these concerns, and have new features on the way to further improve the product!

Some features to highlight:
- Comparing multiple strategies
- Advanced analytics
- Quick execution time
Text and 2D images are a tiny subset of physical reality as perceived by an able-bodied human. Even our best approximation (3D VR headset with Spatial Audio) is a poor representation. We don’t even bother to simulate touch, temperature, equilibrio-sense, etc. And the more detailed you get, the less data you have.

These senses can be described via text, but I’m highly skeptical that the learning outcomes will be the same.
>who’s installing even 5 of those big games concurrently?

This solution allows the SSD to use PCIe gen5 speed, but does not include a full PCIe switch so PCIe gen4 x16 from the GPU cannot be repackaged into PCIe gen5 x8 for the trip up to the CPU. Which is why this is being introduced on a GPU that only does PCIe gen4 x8.

This defeats the purpose a little bit though because the environmental benefit is to _not_ use concrete, as producing it has very high CO2 output.

They use shotcrete a lot here in BC where cliffs are close to the road, but usually when it's soil or more loose material. Any rock structures (natural or man made) are typically left bare.

What you're seeing is BungeeCord, a Minecraft proxy server that lets you run thousands of servers through one domain name. You set up a load balancer that points to a bunch of BungeeCord instances and those in turn point to the actual internal mini-game and lobby servers. I think internally the server transfer process is described to the client as a world change (similar to going to the Nether). If you look it up it likely won't be called BungeeCord anymore (maybe Waterfall now?), as the MC community likes to constantly fork things and change the name.

Hypixel constantly uses things like custom sound effects, spawning particles where they don't belong, using player facing direction for ray tracing for projectiles (e.g., QuakeCraft), and manipulation of player inputs (e.g., remapping crouch to flight, right clicking the air to trigger scripted events/abilities). Additionally, they have advanced anticheat heuristics that are quite sensitive to the slight differences in control patterns/packets that would come from an alternative client such as OP.

Well it's correlated, in that the resistance training associated with developing muscle mass also increases bone density and other factors that lead to living longer. Curious what would happen if you did resistance training while simultaneously stunting the development of muscle. Would you still get the same health benefits?
I enjoyed the stair story here quite a bit - I find that I always have a newfound appreciation for the “real” jobs when I find a fine craftsman at work.

We had a curved staircase fabricated for our house and it was absolutely fascinating to watch the planning and execution go into this task. The original measurements were plugged into a cad drawing where we could adjust the number of treads and the position of the top and bottom steps based on our preference. Then they fabricated the entire assembly offsite and brought it in via crane in one piece. Even building the handrail was fascinating as there was a jig built in place to bend the wood to the curve required.

The physical constraints and fractal complexity is fascinating for someone like me who is used to deterministic machines moving bits on a daily basis.

This is non-intuitive to me because programming languages (above the level of assembly, probably) are made by humans to represent human concepts, while construction is based on physics.

While writing that sentence I realized that programming does have a lot to do with logic, which is a construct of reality, and not humanity. So I guess it does makes sense that programming would be fiddly.

I am not a programmer.
As someone with anxiety, I don’t think the interpretation/conclusion is necessarily that “I’m a victim.” For me, it’s more the realization that I’m having a reasonable reaction to my surroundings and circumstances, meaning the problem isn’t “I’m broken” but rather, “These thoughts/patterns/habits are sub-optimal and unhelpful.” It was a great weight off of my shoulders to see that the problem wasn’t me, myself, alone. That realization helped me find the right things to work on and change to improve my personal experience of reality (a work in progress) and to hopefully also improve reality for others.

One optimization I'm surprised hasn't made it to Minecraft yet is parts of chunks deep below ground will sometimes render before blocks closest to the player or at least closest to the ground that the player should be able to see.

One thing I'm jealous of as a Windows user is that HDR "just works" in the Apple ecosystem.

I was just watching a YouTube video describing how to edit HDR videos in DaVinci Resolve, and step #1 was basically: "Get a Mac".

There is simply no monitor equivalent to the Apple Pro Display XDR available from any other vendor, short of the ludicrously expensive Sony mastering monitors that are made to order.

There are no 4K OLED HDR monitors that can hit 1,000 nits, for example. Meanwhile my local electronics store has an entire row of TVs with that spec! There are 6K and 8K monitors... but they don't do HDR, or do it so badly that it's actually making things worse.

Even if there was proper HDR display for PCs, or if I simply forked over $5K for the Apple XDR monitor... it wouldn't work. Not in practice, not for video editing or for photography.

There's something fundamentally broken with the entire Windows and Linux ecosystems that it has been a decade of widespread HDR support everywhere else, but in the PC world it's just crickets chirping and wolves howling in the distance.

Great feedback, I'll add a little more to the site to describe how it all works. Until then...

At a 30,000ft view, the site works by building an in-memory routing table at boot time that has an entry for every route on the internet and which ASN (autonomous system number) announces it. From there, it stitches together data on the organization that the ASN belongs to, and geolocation data, and then exposes it in the API/UI. Under the hood it's using a treebitmap[1] data structure, which means that it can do _very_ fast lookups when given a particular ip address or ip address range.

Zooming in a little more, the main data source is MRT dumps from the RIPE RIS project[2]. There are a number of routers that RIPE (one of the 5 regional internet registries that hand out ASNs and IPs) that rely on network operators to share their view of every route on the internet. These routers are probably some of the most well-connected routers in the world. For the purposes of this service, MRT dumps are effectively a point-in-time snapshot of the routing table of that router. IP Guide parses that file, rebuilds it in memory, and attaches other relevant data to each IP range (also known as a "prefix").

This allows the service to stay fast and stateless, which was one of the main things I was trying to optimize for when building it.

You can safely assume the bursting itself is badly implemented on shitty ISP modems and causes spikes of high packet loss and latency when it switches.

Say you're bursting 1gbps on a connection with 100ms latency. That connection squeezes to 20mbps suddenly. In the best case in those 100ms that the sender cannot even react to the change, we receive 10mbytes. Those 10mbytes that now have to be throttled away either get dropped or end up in a buffer. Now you either have a 5 second backlog latency or massive packet loss for 100ms while this resolves. And things overcompensate. And worst case, you end up in a oscillation pattern, the throttle goes off, and you burst again.

This happens and is measurable.
