Neither Ada Lovelace nor Haskell Curry is still alive. And Python is in a different category.

It's one thing to use the name of a historical figure, quite another to use the recognisable mark of a living person.

Of course, it could all be being done with endorsement, in which case, my comment is invalid, but otherwise it's incredibly rude and a borderline civil tort.
> I think of it as having a nice set of 256 “registers”, in the zero page at addresses 0-255.

It becomes a pain making sure the monitor/bios and any programs don't stomp on each others zero page locations though.

Then if you start daydreaming about multitasking you have to worry about shoveling the contents off somewhere else whenever you switch tasks.

The 65816 at least can relocate zero page & the stack but if you're going 16 bit you're better off going M68K
I think there are a couple of reasons for picking RISC-V over others.

It is the youngest of the lot, meaning it is carrying around the least legacy compatibility stuff while still incorporating a lot of modern design lessons.

Additionally, modern ARM and MIPS are not free and (potentially?) patent encumbered as well.

You could go with some old, free MIPS or ARM, but then how good is performance, and how good is compiler support for these nowadays?
If you have a ion beam you can probably afford to just buy working and supported cores.
Ask HN: (Over)hyped technologies that delivered
With technology, there is always hype - and that's great, we all want it to be exciting. And then, for any hyped technology (AI, self-driving cars, energy production, etc) there quickly form two camps, arguing whether the technology will deliver on the hype.

So I'm trying to gather some data! How many hyped technologies since, say, 1940s, actually delivered on the hype, mostly at least? The examples I can think of mostly didn't, but I must be missing some.

Some things that IMO didn't deliver (so far at least) include:

- nuclear fusion

- quantum computing

- nuclear power, as the too-cheap-to-meter power source

- self-driving cars (so far - we have great technology but nothing resembling an autonomous car for the masses)

- space travel for the masses (as predicted in 60s and 70s)

- social media, which seem already in decline

On the flipside the Internet delivered far, far more than anyone could imagine in it's early days. So I wonder how good are hypes as predictors of future performance.
Back in the 00s, I played cards periodically with a friend-of-friend. He showed up one Friday and told all of us a story about how he's doing so well that his manager recommended him for a special 8-week program to improve his performance, with a checkpoint at the 4-week mark and the end of the program.

That's right, he was being put on a PIP (at risk of termination) and internalized it that this was a perq/reward program for outstanding performance.
it's just a different product.

a lot of people need the rpi to be something different than a media center that gets stuffed somewhere. 90% of the rpis I have at home are interfacing with something via pins, not just the usb hub. if I want to do something like that with the amd option then i'm back to some kind of usb device mated to that and another software layer that'll be undoubtedly more poorly supported than the rpi equivalent.

for something like a nas or media center though I absolutely agree with you.

YouTube's AdBlock performance issues are caused by Adblock/AdBlock Plus
I am not upset by ISPs. I am finding fiber to the house is a cure for the complaints I once had.

My primary frustration is the lagging adoption of IPv6 and the lagging reliance on advertising funded centrally managed servers/services that only exist to connect around NAT. For example if I wanted to text a remote user of share a file I should be able to do so without uploading to a server. In that case end-to-end encryption go from super challenging to incredibly easy.

I have a friend who is a partner at a big law firm. They are launching a platform that facilitates the creation, analysis, and revision of legal contracts.

Platforms like this will have a huge impact on law firms, small and large. The biggest deals will always get human scrutiny, but midsize deals will probably be done with tools like these. Law school graduates who expected to be able to make six-figure salaries to pay off their six-figure debts are going to be negatively impacted.

The smart ones are already trying to figure out how to use these tools, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and which areas of law are going to be affected less (litigation versus transaction).
Go is so minimalistic that it forces developers to reinvent the same things again and again. Just think about how common certain collection operations are and how easy they are in some languages (e.g. Java, Kotlin, C#, Rust), but in Go you'd write list and for loops like in the last century. This wastes developer time, makes the code harder to understand and adds chances for bugs.

So, this cite applies to Go: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

> but probably very close to undetectable for most, both regarding the loss and the response.

Yah. Take an 8 ohm speaker, which might vary from 5 to 20 ohms, but is relatively close to 8 ohms for much of its range.

At 5 ohms, your voltage is attenuated by 5% -- this is -0.45dB. Re: the "heating the cable" waste, you're losing .45 dB of sound output to heat.

At 20 ohms, your voltage is attenuated by almost nothing (.05 dB).

In any room, and with any real driver and amplifier you're going to have far bigger concerns for flatness of response than this .4 dB variation.

Bigger concerns are--- having something stranded and chonkier with big thick insulation is good for robustness and strain relief instead of trying to abuse network cables (even stranded) for the job. You can get thicker, nicer wire for this purpose than network cable for less money.
I don't think it's a scam, scams requires malice, and it's sufficient that people don't expect exponential change even when it's happening reliably for ages — after all, even when people do learn about exponential growth, many say things like that it has a "knee" or reaches an "inflection point".

Indeed. In fact, Acorn played around with a couple of successor candidates like national semiconductor 32016 (and even Intel 80186) using the BBC micro's Tube interface before they finally have up and developed the ARM chip.

In a sense, ARM (initially Acorn RISC machine) is "the true" 6502 successor. Having done assembly on both BASIC II and V (on Archimedes) the legacy in arm2 Isa was quite evident.

The US consumes approximately 4 trillion terawatts/hour of electricity. If this prediction holds true we will have 14 gigawatts of storage this year. You do the math and you tell me whether base load generation is still an issue or not.
I think not at the moment because I don't think they effectively have a "state" emotional or otherwise. When we do create more realistic things then turning one off or resetting it might be like killing it. That will be a big ethical problem. What about not giving it anything to do so that it tumbles around in "boredom" for thousands of milliseconds? That might be like solitary confinement.
I'm quite sure that it would be better to burn gas or oil and find some other country to bury the plastic for you. Burning plastic is just very inefficient, and expensive if you don't want the thickest toxic smog.

Tesla Megapacks come with a 15-year "no defect" and "energy retention" warranty. A 10 or 20 year "performance guarantee" is available for an additional cost. (an example of Li-Ion based storage, I assume it won't differ wildly with other producers)

I think they can in principle last longer if used well. You can control the temperature, you can use weather forecast (as part of some network-wide forecast of future required capacity) to decide how much you should charge the batteries. You'd use the "unhealthy" charging/discharging only in extreme situations, while in the day-to-day cycles you'd keep the batteries within the healthy voltage range.
A more reliable approach, though requiring a reload, is to block web fonts in uBlock Origin (which you’re using, right?)—there’s a button for the purpose.

You can also just turn font choice off altogether, so that you just get your chosen serif/sans-serif/monospace/whatever fonts. In Firefox, it’s Settings → Fonts → Advanced → untick Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above. I started doing that a couple of years ago as an experiment and have never gone back: it makes the web so much better with minimal and typically unimportant breakage.

Right, for me the RPi is the system to hook a breadboard up to or some other hardware if I don't want to drop down to a raw microprocessor or an audrino-like and don't need anything faster than what an OS provides.

Weird things can happen. If you pick up RF on the speaker wire, it can make the output stage of the amplifier nonlinear in weird ways.

The extreme case is when you can receive radio signals on the speaker wire that are rectified and amplified by the amplifier; but you can get wonkiness short of that.
I was actually looking into the Orange Pi this weekend... the driver situation remains a deal killer for me. Sadly the Raspberry Pi offers crap hardware with almost good drivers while most of the other SBC's offer good hardware with crap drivers and/or binaries only for specific kernel releases. It's impressive how actively bad ARM is for anything remotely user facing on Linux... nVidia wasn't even this bad for this long.
Solar thermal works well even in northern latitudes, for example this municipal bath uses them extensively: https://maps.app.goo.gl/w571B7hTXCUBpN7Q6

Edit: This building is of course a bit exceptional in that it is both well-aligned south-facing and has no trees or other things shading it. Another thing working in it's favour is that reflections from water, ice, and snow also provide a non-negligible boost in captured energy.

What simplicity? Houses aren't limited from being off-grid because of 120vac conversion efficiency, and the new hotness in batteries is HVDC which makes chargers cheaper because it aligns battery voltage to common DC MPPT voltages from solar panels.

The industry has been literally moving away from low voltage DC recently.

I have a similar issue with my dell xps - if I leave it suspended with being plugged in for a few days the battery drains, but what is more frustrating is plugging in to charge from that state seems to boot to a bios screen and turn it into a space heater.

It's caught me out a few times where I haven't noticed and frankly seems like a safety hazard as it'll get very hot.

The current and previous generations of xbox and playstation do use x86 CPUs with integrated AMD GPUs. But they aren't just PCs in a small box. Using a unified pool of GDDR memory* is a substantial architectural difference.

*except for the xbox one & one s, which had its own weird setup with unified DDR3 and a programmer controlled ESRAM cache.
There's a survivor bias, many things do stop growing at some point, but these are harder to notice. You're more likely to perceive the things which did scale exponentially.
It depends on other things. For me, waking from S3 has always been nearly instant. Booting from hibernation is nowhere near that. Just the freaking UEFI takes ages to initialize.

How much energy storage do you think those 14 gigawatts of batteries represent? How long do they provide 14 gigawatts for?

Then go cost out how much it would cost you to deal with say, 3 days of solar under production due to grey skies for your house. In most studies, the capacity factor of a solar plant is about 25% at best, so that 550W panel is worth about 137W over the course of a year, presuming you can store all of it.
I live about 150m from a line that goes over a bridge. Twice a day 4pm and 4am. It is not often the night train wakes me, often I wait to hear the click clacks before thinking it might be an earthquake.

The day train usually slows since coming the other way it is approaching a pedestrian crossing. I kinda love it because when it speeds up again you can hear it's giant turbo spooling... Sounds so good.

The rumbling also sounds kinda cool, sometimes it'll shake the house, I thought about setting up an accelerometer on and Arduino to swee what output I'd see.

Often however I think I hear the train but it's just the sea. Or I can hardly hear the train for the noise of the sea.

I wonder if they're selling out or being consumed as upgrades? Domestically, I almost always buy an economy ticket on Delta and get upgraded to Comfort+ within 15 minutes of buying the ticket. That means the bus routes (between hubs) probably have a lot of these Skymiles high-tier members taking up the seats without charge.

That data, which I'm sure Delta has and looks at, could strongly influence how many overall rows of seating to remove in order to fit more rows of Comfort+.
This is first time I see this from the main-stream news. It is pre-posterous to think that anything will be done about this, but perhaps it will finally finds its (dominant) place in the discourse on the topic.

There are not just "lisp machines", but interactive Lisp implementations, coming with an IDE. The first of those were in the 60s, using text/terminal interfaces. The first Lisp already had interactive interface and end 60s "BBN Lisp" had a full-blown resident development environment, also using "images". In the 70s Smalltalk was developed (providing images, garbage collection, ... like Lisp before), then also on dedicated machines - at the same time frame Lisp was put onto these machines. BBN Lisp was then morphed Interlisp-D by Xerox, which was "Interlisp" ported to the Xerox D machines, running on the metal with a GUI added.

The Interlisp timeline gives an idea, that a lot of research into interactive development took place in the 60s and 70s, using it.

GNU Emacs is based on a Lisp system, but the focus was (is) to build an user-programmable, extensible editor, not to resemble a "lisp machine", which was a computer with an operating-system.
