It seems to me that most of the complaints about register windows is related to the need of managing them via software, in case of overflow or task switch. What if there were an streaming hardware unit, with it's own caches, that managed that, similar to the spiller on the Mill? Wouldn't register windows then reduce the load/store bandwidth and cost related to traditional registers?

Of course, you would be storing a lot of garbage, but its a linear and trivially parallel regarding other load and store tasks.
I don't think that's what's happening here. The flags are coming from users (as explained in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). We can only guess why users flag things, but when I looked at the flagging histories, they didn't seem focused on this issue; rather they were the most common type of flag, from users who don't want to see flamewars or too much politics on HN. For example, here are other submissions flagged by the same users:

I'm not mentioning these to start arguments about whether or not they are on-topic for HN—some are, some not—but rather to give the flavor of what the user flags look like.

We sometimes turn off flags, and I've done so several times on this topic and posted quite a bit about why. However, HN is not a current affairs site, and it is a site that gets damaged when threads turn into flamewars. So we have to be careful about which threads to turn off flags on, and I don't think an outright advocacy piece is the best choice for that. It's all relative; there's no way to avoid flamewars on a topic like this; but some go to the inner circles of hell faster than others.

> Big Q: why is this still a niche situation?

Because - at least in the short term - you can make more money by selling your users.
I think the issue here is that it's always possible to perturb the model inputs to mess with the output if you have the weights. I guess in theory you could have a model that isn't vulnerable to this, but I'm not sure the training methods and networks used today could ever yield it.

I'm not an expert per se, but I think the issue at its core is that convolutional networks are trained to look at small features out of context, and tricking those smaller features detectors is possible without changing the overall structure of the image.
True. And disruption to a routine can be fatal to the habit. Switch places to live, new SO, new school, kids, life events, etc.

Thankfully I don’t have any known disruption events on the horizon. But for little things, like when I have to fly at 6am I get up at 3/3:30 to get a quick (and intense) mile in around the neighborhood. And I workout in hotel rooms, etc.

The details of all of the battles in O'Brien's books are drawn from Royal Navy records, albeit with some adaptation to fit the plot and characters. Cochrane's (Jack Aubrey in the book) capture of the Spanish frigate is the climactic scene in the first book, 'Master and Commander.'
It's unclear to me how much damage the pill prevents versus simply delaying it. I didn't see any clear statements on that in the article and there are a few quotes like, "intended to at least buy victims enough time to get to the hospital."

If victims still need anti-venom to prevent serious injury then the drug is much less exciting. As the article points out anti-venom treatments are expensive, unreliable, and hard to access; in other words not that great. Having more time to reach that treatment is better than nothing but is hardly world changing. Also, maybe I overly cynical, but I'm skeptical that this medicine will be affordable and accessible to most of the people in poor rural communities that make up the bulk of dangerous bite victims.

I do a lot of hiking and, like many folks who do the same, have been within reach of venomous snakes more times than I can count. A pill that can prevent serious damage from a bite would be huge; if it's effective and accessible.

YES! I was trying to remember the names of these demos, they came out the same time I was working on my code. Really was peak demo scenes days in 93/94. I feel like we were doing it that way because we had hammers and saw everything as a nail. I don't think any of us knew how an actual video codec worked back then, there was so little information available until the Internet started taking off in late-93 onwards.
> Ditched reddit about halfway through 2023

I've been trying to kick Reddit for _years_.

The problem is that it actually has good content for niche interests. It constantly comes up in Google searches and about 50 - 60% of the time it either gives the answer or opens a deeper query.

I wish I could export all the knowledge from it and not have to unblock that terrible site. The smaller, focused subs aren't the problem, it's the entire frontpage and all the rest of the subreddits. It's somehow worse than junk food like I'd categorize other social media, it's like a hammer to the skull.

Somehow Stack Overflow is more a barren wasteland than Reddit, and Quora is even worse.
In addition to this, some people also get their randoseru "minified", where it's cut up and a fist sized version made. My wife still has hers.

My son just received his first randoseru and the company that made it offers to "minify" using almost all of the original key parts from his, in the future.
I'm not familiar with Rocksdb but if it's just a KV store you want, I'd probably just use Redis with compression. It is hard to beat.

Otherwise, Timescaledb offers compressible table chunks using table inheritance. It's really pretty slick, depending on your use-case.
And on relatively ancient analog radio systems, no less.
Adding to this, the article the GP comment has linked to is for Trusted Language Extensions, which would allow AWS users to run extensions that aren't "officially" installed on RDS

however, since Latern is written in C++, it is not a Trusted Language for Postgres. If they instead used Rust (for example), then it would theoretically be able to be used with RDS, since Rust is now a Trusted Language on RDS: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/05/amazon-rd...

Technically, the RTX 4060 also has a 16GB version available ($450). As does the Intel Arc A770 ($320).

What's amazing is I recall normally picking up a GPU for $20, and ultra-premium-performance cards were <$200. Now, a $300 GPU is considered "budget."

Premium cards in 1998:

Riva TNT. Literally the fastest consumer graphics card in 1998; best you could do short of splurging on an SGI. $116-$133.

Delaying is already massive seeing as you often cant take anti-venom with you due to refrigeration needs. That delay is likely enough to get you to a clinic.

For the cost aspects, as India has shown life saving generics for people who couldnt afford it anyway are always an option.

edit: Its also worth mentioning that the "accessible by drone" aspect to reduce treatment times is rarely possible in the rain forests where such bites often occur.

> I’ve even talked to users who have workloads that can only be unavailable for 1s – and while I was initially skeptical, when I heard what the workloads were for, I did agree that 1s was a reasonable requirement for them!

What could this be? Some crypto exchange is based on PostgreSQL?

I generally don't understand this kind of a requirement. Downtime, to me, is inability to have an end to end transaction. During downtime, to me, it is possible to queue writes and cache reads, to some extent.

I can understand if there is something in the middle, in the database layer, that needs to happen, but what would it be, that requires sub 1s latency, at that level?

I have now had several games in the 17000s range although I see I’m not the top scorer here anymore. I don’t think I can go any faster without getting to a physical keyboard vs my touch screen!

A couple more notes: I see now that the score multiplier goes up by 1 for every row cleared AND for every ghost eaten. I don’t think this changes much about my recommended strategy except sometimes you can pause or delay to set up a free ghost kill without breaking the originally stated strat and it’s worthwhile to do so.

At very high levels (15000+) I’m finding it necessary to double tap rapidly to induce small pauses to let the ghost catch up. The timing of these pauses is very tough at high speeds. But the gameplay feels almost safer and more formulaic. Not sure if that’s a function of anything changing in particular. It might just be the normal Strat but fast enough that it normalizes. I might try to do this on a keyboard to get them frame perfect pauses going lol

Edit: worth noting my high score went from 7k to 16k in one game without realizing it had been a particularly good game. The scores ramp up very quick late game and it’s not quite as huge of a gap as you might think

Yes! There was a bug on iPhone, though I've fixed it now.
The earliest electrical power suppliers frequently had complex and varying prices according to different applications for electricity. See this 1903 document from the National Electric Light Association, "Report of the rates for lighting and power service."

https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nnc1.cu56609884&seq=1...

In San Francisco, there were separate rates per kilowatt hour depending on whether the electricity was used for incandescent lighting or "power." San Leandro had 3 separate rate structures -- one for incandescent lighting, one for arc lighting, and a third for power.

Eventually, of course, device manufacturers realized that it was possible to tap "power" connections to run "lighting" devices, or vice versa, and the application-specific pricing could not be maintained.
I want a kind of blind called "persianas" ("Persian") in Argentina. Like this: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/317689/english-e... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgyXAYtcKqs

These blinds are truly blackout blinds, more than any other blackout blinds I've tried (and I've some fancy ones by a company called Comfort Track). Basically the persianas consist of connected slats that ride in tracks on the outside of the window, and each slat is connected to the other in such a way that when you roll the persianas all the way down then all the slats slot into each other allowing no light to get through, but when you pull the persianas up then the slats separate just enough to allow the whole thing to roll up. Because persianas ride on the outside of the window they also have some weather (temperature) and sound isolation properties.

I've never seen persianas in the U.S., or anywhere outside Argentina. Retrofitting them into American houses would definitely not be trivial as either the persianas would have to roll up on the outside of the house or ride on rails on the inside of the house, or the window header would have to be moved up in order to fit the slats passing from the inside roll to the outside rails.

Background info:

The basic EUV technology and techniques were developed at US national laboratories and funded by US taxpayers. ASML signed a license agreement with the US Department of Energy that gives the US the ability to exert control over where the technology goes.

Yes. You can type my first and last name into Google to find my publication list and Google Scholar.

I am disappointed by all the people whose understanding of plagiarism is limited to some mechanical set of rules enforced by a University research officer. Academic rules on plagiarism exist for specific reasons, and anyone in this field should be able to articulate those reasons or work them out from first principles. Once you understand why the rules exist, you’ll also understand why we take certain types of misappropriation much more seriously than others, and why in some cases violations can be addressed with a correction.

(It goes without saying that we don’t tell students this. We tell students that if they forget to cite a six-word sentence fragment, they’ll be put in the electric chair and given 20,000 volts.)
> North is a qualifier of American - denoting a subset of America.

That would make sense, but language unfortunately isn't obligated to make sense.

In English, "America" unequivocally means the USA. "North America" unequivocally means the continent, and "the Americas" means both continents. This is only a problem because of clashing language and geography standards--in some languages there's only one continent and it's called "America," so it's easy to have misunderstandings between Spanish and English speakers using the same word to mean different things. But neither one is wrong. They're just speaking different languages.

(Neither is wrong about the definitions of the continents, either. Continents are arbitrary and always have been.)
I find sci fi or satire with a bit of truth in this area far more interesting than any serious attempt.
If you are a mainly a desktop consumer: block them using /etc/hosts

On Windows, it is at C:\Windows\Windows32\drivers\etc\hosts

In the hosts file, you put `0.0.0.0 <site you don't want to visit>`. Now whenever you go to that site, it just doesn't exist and if you _have_ to open it, you need to go comment out the line in the hosts file.

It's frequently enough friction but you have to remember to uncomment the line after you are done.

You can do the same for mobile but it involves setting up a VPN. That is how the paid apps that do the same work.

Also at the end of each day, do a reflection and ask yourself "What would I have done differently today?" or some variation. That frequently gives a stopgap where I resolve myself to do things different the next day.
