Currently, but recently accounting rules don’t make it very suitable for institutions.
Thanks! Submitted title was "SEC approves Bitcoin ETFs" (which I assume was reasonable at the time of submission). We've changed it now.

Edit: since the original tweet (https://twitter.com/SECGov/status/1744829327294837236) no longer exists, I've changed the URL to your link above.
Isn’t approval expected and already priced in? The hackers should have announced it wasn’t approved, maybe then the price would have moved more than 3%.

Epyc has multiple L3 caches while Xeon has a unified L3. If the same TCP socket is accessed on multiple CCXes it would cause cache lines to bounce on Epyc which is pretty costly.

tl;dr is that SK has some big fees for data users that have a disproportionate impact on non-Korean companies
The author isn’t doing anything systematic with “they” replacing he/she everywhere; it’s just that the main character uses “they” pronouns. For people who don’t know anyone using “they” pronouns, a book like this can be a helpful way to get used to it—much easier than encountering it for the first time in the workplace. It’s true that when there’s singular/plural ambiguity, you do have to find strategies to resolve it. Luckily they’re similar strategies to how we resolve singular/plural ambiguity when using “you.” (It would be nice if English had kept “thou” around. Alas.)
I doubt it matters. They wanted to be big in Korea. Local competitors got big instead. So they're leaving instead of spending more money. Interest rates could be 0% and you still wouldn't necessarily want to borrow money to bail out a sub-business that doesn't work.
You need to think about the average consumer. You first have to time sync. Then you have to program it. Do you remember VCRs? 9/10 people could not program their VCR. Oh yeah, and when the power goes out and you forget to reset the clock your schedule is no longer correct.

And with that, you still have no dynamic control.
I believe you are missing the crucial reason why all the people are consuming content in apps now.

Google is in large part to blame for this, if not the main reason.

Many years ago, Google started updating their search algorithm to heavily prefer specific domains like govs, edus, or handpicked ones like Reuters or Microsoft.

I used to run my own blog and forum, and it used to be on the top of the search results for the niche it occupied. After the changes, it fell off the front pages and I'd often see the top search result being a link to a random reddit comment mentioning the search phrase and no other content.

It was at that point I realized that there was no point in running your own website to create "content". You can't compete with domains whitelisted by Google unless you have a lot of money to spend on SEO.

Some people point to the "Panda" update as when this all started happening.
Since it’s a UK company/project they will be primarily comparing to brick costs since that’s what the vast majority of UK houses are (still) built with. They claim comparable cost as brick/block construction. £230/sqm.

They also seem to be touting their accuracy and since plywood is dimensionally stable (well, more so that 2x4s anyway) that’s probably why ply.
They would have made more money by tweeting the ETF got rejected. My guess is this was a mistake by an intern or something like that.
> Plus 40k per year for the 20 devs that you face even if you don’t ship.

Sure, but that not a significant amount compared to all the other costs

> But sure, unreal is a bad choice for shovelware and garbage mobile games.

Well it’s a had choice for almost all mobile games (it just happens that most of them are shovelware regardless of the engine)
They have a confirmation dialogue in the keynote. As long as they do that well and for every important action, I don't think it will be a problem
I wouldn't expect the SEC to run it, I'd expect one of the government agencies responsible for IT infrastructure to run it.
Nah, not ugly, beastly ... it's a great look.
The equivalence is useless. There was not 100 lives of productive work done in that time, there was just 5M instances of 10 seconds being saved.

"We made the planet 100 lives more productive" is just self-congratulatory.
Interesting. Is it true what they claim? Why is it so much more costly for them to operate in Korea?

Great points!
When Node.js started really taking off, I was actually a bit worried that Python would become No Longer Best Practice, but now it definitely seems to be still going strong.

Some execs have already jumped ship. From the article:

"In the final months of 2023, several top executives announced their departures, including Twitch’s chief product officer, chief customer officer and chief content officer. Twitch also lost its chief revenue officer, who worked on Twitch from within Amazon’s Ads unit."
They were violating the law, and using the funds in the accounts to further the law breaking.

They call it civil disobedience. People seem to forget part of civil disobedience is going to jail and paying a fine. That’s always been the deal.
Very nice. If you don't have the time to build one yourself, you can also buy them here:

EU Looking Closely at Microsoft/OpenAI Relationship
I don't know if the project is still active or not but its architecture wasn't based on neural networks. From the website:

"The AtomSpace is a generalized graph store, with a sophisticated graph query engine. This query engine far exceeds the features and capabilities of popular commercial and open source graph stores. Atomese is a graph language, optimized for manipulation by algorithms. The intent is that automated agents, reasoning subsystems and processing pipelines can work with a rich and sophisticated language system. Think of Atomese is "assembly code", or, better yet, an "intermediate language"."

I recall there was a video somewhere of a virtual agent that was walking around in a virtual world, figuring out creative ways to find food, seeking shelter etc.

Does anyone know how far they got? and if they gave up after ML revolution?
I think that was a joke. DLC normally means downloadable content.

Vox claims "the most important election ever" started in 2000 and has continued since, but I think that has more to do with when the author became politically aware than anything else.

Consider Johnson's TV spot from the 60s, tacitly telling Americans that the election was a contest between L.B.J. and nuclear apocalypse:

The peaks of the unrest seem to happen near times when there's a shift in "Party System." We're currently in the US's Sixth (or is it Seventh?) Party System:

"Pairing" in BLE-speak is a key exchange procedure so devices can establish a secure connection without performing authentication again.

BLE communication can happen inside of a "connection", or outside of a connection.

A typical device "advertises" it's presence with beacons which are broadcast on 3 channels. These beacons are user-defined, so you can use them like UDP packets. Sensor wakes up and broadcasts the current temperature.

Your smartphone can receive advertisements while scanning. Check out the insane number of beacons present in an American apartment complex.

Note: BLE connections may be encrypted, or not. That's up to you. You do not need to "pair" (exchange keys) to communicate with a connection. There are 4 "modes" to authenticate. Without an out-of-band communication mode, all are vulnerable to MITM.

The latest BLE standard improves range with a half-data rate PHY. Range is determined by transmit power and attenuation. Most BLE radios are designed for short-range communication. I've never seen one consuming more than mW, but that does not mean you couldn't make an amplifier that transmits BLE much further
That's not any sort of moderation factor on HN.
That's much closer to being true now than it was when bitcoin started getting popular, in no small part because it scared financial institutions into competing on convenience. But really, who says legality is the arbiter of greatness anyway? Are you really prepared to say that every illegal use of blockchain should never happen? I'm not.
This is exactly what I needed for pixeldrain. I have been struggling with TCP bottlenecks for months. I can't wait for 6.8 to be released.
Korea changed the pricing model for network traffic to be "sending party pays". For something like OGN that has a literal TV channel it's less of an issue, but for something like twitch that is only Internet, and tons of video, it's more difficult.
It's also a write-only workload that doesn't have to deal with updates intrinsic money movement, pricing, inventory, and other common workloads where atomicity is not a nice to have but a requirement. Twitter is trivial as a product compared to the most mundane shopping cart. You worked at Twitter? Okay great, I worked at AWS which runs the entire internet. And it doesn't really matter. Even if I am intimately familiar with where naive deployments of relational databases breakdown at scale, as well as mitigating approaches (cellular architecture) that make it possible to keep scaling them.

You're not really addressing the substance of my comment so I am left to assume that your omission is because you cannot address it. Be that as it may, you'll hopefully at least take my final comment at its face value that you do your own product a disservice by overhyping what its use case is towards areas that it is objectively a poor fit. People have tried event sourcing many times and it's just not a good fit for many if not most workloads. You can't be everything to everyone. There's nothing wrong with that.

My advice to you is this: call out the elephant in the room and admit that, and focus on workloads where it is a good fit. That extra honesty will go a long way in helping you build a business with sustainable differentiation and product market fit.
I must be misremembering the year then! It was 0.05 because I thought it was 5 then found the old hard drive last year and managed to recover it from an ancient bitcoin client. I don’t remember the details but I had to let it sync (downloading data?) for days before I could make a transaction to an exchange and sell.
There's actually a touchscreen keyboard you can use instead, which they mention in the keynote.
I don't get it. From an outside perspective, it feels like they must be raking in the cash - they take a large cut from subscribers and the number of ads is crazy. Viewership growth seems good [1]. The product seems solid and well-built. The demand is clearly there. Serving live video is obviously expensive, but curious if that is really the biggest component (other than personnel). Would be cool if some industry insider could shed some light on what's wrong with this business.

Type annotations are pretty good. I'd like to see a strict mode though, something you import that makes missing annotations anywhere into a fatal error
TL;DR: It looks like a convenient and explainable starting point for the proof-of-concept.

Manually combining specialist variants is a known technique. This paper automates it with a router component which mixes 2 sub-models at any given time. Training 8 slight variants of a base seems safe and configurable compared to n > 16 specialists. The latter seems like the parts could interact unpredictably.

Also, the memory usage seems predictable: it follows 2^m memory conventions by mixing 2 models at a time, so ~2x the memory is actively used at a time. I'm not up to date on the hardware implications, so it might not mean anything yet. It might one day if this approach works well enough to design around.
Little gems like this are just vestige of an obviously dysfunctional system of revenue. They’ll never get the details right because the premise is wrong to begin with.

It seems to me that the tax system is budget-negative for the US federal government. If we say that the budget is sustainable when the ratio of spending to GDP decreases year-over-year, then the only thing that matters is that economic growth is greater than inflation plus the cost of financing. Elimination of the tax system would imply an immediate economic expansion, and much better allocation of resources toward growth. We’re already quite far from ever thinking that we will fund the government with tax revenues, and the side effect of ongoing multi-trillion-dollar bond issuance is learning that tax revenues are probably irrelevant. So let’s just drop taxes and manage the budget in accordance with interest rate stability.
Civil disobedience carrying a negative of some kind for the protester is a significant part of my respect for people doing it.

Why do games have to use so much electricity? They should be fine with a few kb of storage and maybe some minimal networking. Back in the day games were completely fine and playable in tiny cartridges. Games should be regulated to not consume a certain amount of network and processing power.

On the other hand, without the PoW mechanism of Bitcoin, it's impossible to have the properties that bitcoin has - global decentralised money and payment network. If you believe otherwise, make one! Very quickly no one will be willing to pay for Bitcoin, and all those "wasted electricity" will suddenly become available again.
Its serious question. I am stuck in a loop of taking clients money to bootstrap my startup but i need much more to pay a few other engineers to show companies like these that they produce garbage. Even apple is running in the totally wrong direction.

Until now i was under the impression i'd need to hustle more to earn cash & build the prototype. But that won't be fast enough. I can't watch people that just don't get it but try to imitate apple (website, keynote, lol) with just some bullshit.

The more i watch from the sidelines, the more i am reassured that we are building something incredible that nobody sees coming. But we are not located in the EU, not the US. So i am not sure what i should do.
The court relevant to this case is the General Court of the European Union. Each member state can put forward up to two judges each. Given the current composition of the EU, that seems to me to be broadly equal between the Germanic and Romance traditions (although I am quite aware of the limitations of such an academic division).
Cool, thanks for the share. I will check it out.
More profits. Simple as that.
I bought an analog fridge thermometer and an alarming digital thermometer.

The defrost cycle would set the alarm off but the analog thermometer would not move above ~40F

So once it alarmed I watched the analog thermometer go up above 45F and stay there for hours. The back of the fridge was freezing over and preventing the fridge from working correctly. I bought the repair kit from the recall / service bulletin a couple years ago so that bought me a year or so of continued use.
Android allows you to initiate scanning and receive advertisements without user interaction (assuming the app has the permissions to run in the background and use Bluetooth). Advertisements are "broadcasts" or "beacons"
Veins of heavy metals are created by the chemistry of hydrothermal systems. High-pressure super-heated water is a great solvent and will leach many things out of the surrounding rocks in a chemistry and temperature/pressure dependent way.

These hydrothermal systems can be structurally enormous and form gradients e.g. due to differences in rocks and temperature at different depths. This acts a bit like a distillation column. Every metal has different characteristic solubility and will precipitate out of solution in boundary areas where amount of metal in solution exceeds the solubility under those conditions. Since these are fluids, the solution is circulating, bringing fresh saturated solution to the boundary area.

In some regions like Nevada, there are places where very large and diverse gradients are exposed e.g. you will find copper, silver, gold, tin, mercury, lead, uranium, etc veins of various quality distributed across the same very local geological formation as different metals were deposited in different places within the same hydrothermal system.

A limitation on formation is that it typically requires a relatively large hydrothermal system with stable properties and appropriate chemistry over millions of years. The kinds of places that have large hydrothermal systems also tend to be geologically unstable.

These entrenchment laws are there to favor the big ISPs in SK, it would stand to reason that they would be happy to make money in such an arrangement, and Twitch gets a secondary downstream benefits that they can reap.

Experience in the domain.

They must have had a prototype to get their initial $20M funding (Oct 4) as well as another $10M announced 10 weeks later (just 3 weeks ago).

see https://www.rabbit.tech/updates/rabbit-raises-20m and https://www.rabbit.tech/updates/rabbit-raises-additional-10m

But the actual rabbit device in the keynote could have come later. The cloud backend including the LLM is independent of the rabbit device. They could've demo'ed an app on an iPhone to show the VCs - there's nothing rabbit-device-specific that an iPhone or Android phone couldn't do.
Boeing has been selling off various parts of its manufacturing for years to investment firms, then contracting out to what used to be their own factories. They are intentionally de-integrating (disintegrating?).

Some say this is for union-busting. Others say it's "just" boardroom financial engineering.

Whatever the reason, Boeing clearly hasn't cared about being a manufacturing company for a long time.
aiohttp for the win.

I started with cherrypy, then used twisted for years and finally aiohttp made me never look back or search for anything else.
>I suspect the actual implementation of said algorithms probably achieves a lower % of peak performance than the older ones

In my experience I have found the opposite to be the case. Most old maths libraries are written in FORTRAN (generally an order of magnitude or more slower than a comparable C/C++) and the implementations of standard algorithms are often sub-optimal and naive. I got the same impression when I compared arctangent (Taylor series) implementations in π programs and Minimax in chess (see Bernstein's program for the 704). I would guess that in the worst case they were 100x slower than what those machines could theoretically achieve. The C+inline asm libraries of today might be 2-10x slower at worst and some are even bottlenecked by memory. In this case I doubt the programs discussed in the 1989 paper, which were written in Prolog and FORTRAN, are exceptions to this.

Yeah it's not a TE product, just a TM design I think. Though to be honest the price is very suspect, TE is usually very expensive but this is too cheap for what it claims it is.
To be clear Microsoft isn't directly funding Python, excluding any PyCon sponsorship.

Microsoft hired Guido in late 2020 giving him freedom to choose what project he wanted. Guido decided to go back to core Python development and with approval of Microsoft created a "faster-cpython" project, at this point that project has hired several developers including some core CPython developers. This is all at the discretion of Microsoft, and is not some arms length funding arrangement.

Meta has a somewhat similar situation, they hired Sam Gross (not the cartoonist) to work on a Python non-gil project, and contribute it directly to CPython if they accept it (which they have), and they have publicly committed to support it, which if I remember right was something like funding two engineering years of an experienced CPython internals developer.
