Where exactly did I stereotype anyone?

Race was as important to the article as the location and the relative wealth and age of the place mentioned -- Brooklyn Heights. I guess they could have said they noticed the no curtains thing in some American urban area and left it at that, but as writers tend to do they added some detail to paint a picture: wealthy, gentrified urban, young, and white. For some of us just writing "Brooklyn Heights" would communicate all of that but just maybe the writers thought they might need to describe that neighborhood for readers not familiar with Brooklyn's demographics.

As for "rude, annoying, unnecessary, etc." that's in the eye of the beholder. An article can't inherently have any of those properties; those describe reactions a reader might have to the article. I didn't have any of those reactions and I'd be surprised if The Atlantic receives bags of mail complaining about the fluffy curtains article.

I don't know what "weird and problematic" might mean. I've met lots of people, Americans and otherwise, who have opinions about race that don't match mine. I was just in Japan a couple of months ago, and as a non-Japanese I noticed I got treated differently. Weird and problematic? Those words didn't pop into my head but I know people who have found Japanese culture and what looks like endemic racism off-putting.

My capitalization of Black and non-capitalization of white are legacies you can blame on my age, rather than another "problematic" or leftist habit. It's one of the accepted styles of writing, one that I learned a long time ago. You can find examples yourself, for example [1] and [2].

Speculating about someone's motivations, political associations, weirdness, problematic-ness, etc. when you know nothing about them comes across as rude and, if I can use the ugly word, problematic. You can find out from my HN profile that I was born in America but no longer live there -- not trying to hide my heritage.

By all means go on stereotyping and insulting Americans, and people you describe as "leftists." I'll steer clear of that kind of immature behavior.

Check AMD's PE and then revisit MSFT.
My approach as the senior software engineer (but not the manager) of my team is to not debate everything, but to point out everything that I think is wrong, can be improved, or should be designed differently.

But then, I leave the developers and/or the manager to make their own decision and shoot themselves in the foot if they happen to make the wrong decisions.

This approach takes more time, but I think it improves the sense of ownership of developers and their maturity over time.
I suppose you, just like everyone else claims, are immune to marketing?

The most insidious form of control is convincing people they are forming their own opinions without any outside influence.

Regardless who you are, the content you are exposed to online and by extension in-person through your peers is shaped by who exposes it in the first place.

I'm speaking beyond just marketing, rather to general attitudes and knowledge.
The fault is still present in that, you shouldn't just regexp "look for needle in haystack" in a single phase when you're supposed to extract key-value pairs and operate on the author key.

What happened here was that the Github employee programming this didn't bother to read the spec and/or think.
Could you please post links to twitter profiles posting problems?

I'd rather see these problems than all that the algo throws at me currently.
Only with domain experience you can tell that something might be wrong.

Obviously. How is this different from any other field of science or engineering?

you need to understand the theoretical motivation of things and check all operations one by one.

Again, this is true when debugging any complex system. How else would you debug it?

a bug there where we were normalizing on the wrong dimension of a tensor

If you describe the methodology you used to debug it, it will probably be applicable to debugging a complicated issue in any other SWE domain.
Reverse the flag. This is a great read and is very much something that good hackers will find interesting.
Is it reasonable to expect someone to audit what is often a large comment field to see if someone else has already made the point they themselves want to post?
Where did you get that definition ?
I'd been kind of interested by https://yglu.io/ and now ingy's new piece of insanity https://yamlscript.org/ - helm appears to let you inject your own script to template charts and I was wondering about trying a wrapper around one of those (because text templating an indentation sensitive language like YAML makes me itch).

I think scrapscript is a really interesting idea, mind, this isn't a "here's an alternative" type comment, it's a "here's things that I think are neat in a similar way to how I think scrapscript is neat" :)

Edit: I forgot something! https://trout.me.uk/lisp/termite-r7rs.pdf is a paper on adding library support to the cross-network (kinda erlangish) termite scheme extensions - and leans heavily on content addressable-ness. Termite itself has gone the way of small lisp projects but I kept this around specifically for the content addressable stuff having been solidly worked out in a language I understood; maybe that'll come in handy for ideas for you as well.

It's not quite that bad. The thing you need on one end is a digital modem. You can buy a card containing a bank of these for the Cisco ISR G2 platform. The ebay cost is about $60. Then in the same router, you can put a T1 card, which the digital modems will use to accept calls (costs about $15). Finally you can buy an analog modem card (costs about $20) to accept calls from another modem. All of this would be contained in 1 or 2 rack units.

There are other methods but that's the one I would use. To see one of the other methods, try here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ_hWS6ked8

The article is really bad. The problem is with the frunk self closing not stopping. Similar to the X also not stopping.

It’s a quote from Rain Man and it was not true at the time of the movie either. Great marketing.
If no one can argue they're duplicitous, then it's a case of false advertising...

I've been dealing with this ever since the beta. Reviewing PRs on mobile is really, really frustrating. I almost feel like they're trying to push us into their mobile apps a la Reddit.
> If you're convinced it's safe for your phone[1] you should be able to be convinced it's safe for your car.

No no no no, NO!

Your phone can NOT kill anyone. Because you trust the software running on your phone to show you the weather forecast should not (as in NOT AT ALL, EVER) mean that you should trust any software that would control a rocket sending you to space.
Organic seems to sell well, but often just as tasteless. I bet the market would recognize something like a terroir label which designate the value of taste. The price of apples for instance seems to reflect this already, the pricier ones do taste better. The taste of apples also seems pretty resilient to long cold storage.
Is there a trend in nationality of the bribers? In some countries bribes are extremely common. Including a few very large countries with an increasing presence in global academia. Are these bribes coming from the UK, France, Germany, the US, Japan, who have long contributed to the international academic scene and which don't have pervasive issues with bribes?
Flower farmer here. Without reading: terroir. All coffee is grown in soil and the soil around the world is different. All plants will grow if they get the right inputs (water/light/air/macros/micros), but how they grow and the makeup of their harvestable material is going to vary by the _amounts_ and _timing_ of those inputs. I'd expect the same harvesting and roasting techniques applied to beans sourced from opposite ends of the earth would perform differently.
If you have Administrator access, you can patch the memory of anything...a normal user wouldn't be permitted to patch Explorer.

Trying to prevent patching in userland code sounds like a nightmare.
Yeah, that logic seems to all work out.

I found annotated die shots of Zen 3 and Zen 4 that pretty much confirm the op cache: https://locuza.substack.com/p/zen-evolution-a-small-overview

Pretty strong evidence that AMD are using a much simpler encoding scheme with roughly 64bits per uop. Also, That uop cache on Zen 4 is starting to look ridiculously large.

But that does give us a good idea how big the microcode rom is. If we go back to the previous intel die shot with its combined microcode rom + uop cache, it appears intel's uop cache is actually quite small thanks to their better encoding.

> Furthermore I assume that one x86 instruction translates to more than one uOP instruction on average (e.g. instructions involving memory operands are cracked

I suspect it's not massively higher one uop per instruction. Remember, the uop cache is in the fused-uop domain (so before memory cracking) and instruction fusion can actually squash some instructions pairs into a single uop.

The bigger hinderance will be any rules that prevent every uop slot from being filled. Intel appears to have many such rules (at least for Sandybridge/Haswell/Skylake)

> and blow lots of energy on the x86 translation front end

TBH, we have no idea how big the x86 tax is. We can't just assume the difference in performance per watt between the average x86 design and average high performance aarch64 design is entirely caused by the x86 tax.

Intel and AMD simply aren't incentivised to optimise their designs for low power consumption as their cores simply aren't used in mobile phones where ultra low power consumption is absolutely critical.

Paul Graham's "Why Nerds Are Unpopular"[0] article makes multiple references to the similarity between prison and school - especially how they both devolve into popularity contests.

A simpler solution would be to eliminate the downvote entirely. As the poster points out, it doesn't add much to the site. Mathematically, it just increases the contrast between favored and disfavored posts---the same thing could be done algorithmically, based on the rate of upvoting. It would also be helpful to randomize the order of comments for the user, with a strong random influence early in the thread that is reduced as the number of comments and upvotes increases. This would reduce the rich-get-richer effect, which might be amplified if the downvote is removed.
> I’ve worked with some product managers who produced prodigious amounts of meetings and slide decks and Figma charts and process documents and Notion pages and after meeting summary e-mails but can never actually conclude what we should build.

Spot on. If I could have all the years wasted through this back, I would be a young man again. In my experience, these are product managers that have never actually been involved in building anything.
> You've been downvoted for your comment, so I guess mine is also going to be Eloized.

Haters gonna hate :-)
I believe they mean "publications".
You’ve almost nailed it!

“It survived because it was something that only academics cared about”

The critical change has been in the number of academics, not in their level of care. It was always a small exclusive group. It can only work if it’s a small exclusive group. We can’t make everyone an academic and expect quality output anymore than we can make everyone a coder and expect great software. Academia (higher ed) simply cannot scale and still be what it’s been. Great wine must be produced in small batches, perhaps the elite should be too.
Thanks for the extra data point! Mine will start as you describe, but every time the ads update, their elements seem to get appended instead of updating the existing ads. Then the browser kinda zooms in but won't let me zoom back out. After 30s I can't see any text lol. It's quite crazy.

A workaround for me was to request the desktop site, which actually looks the same. Then it works just like you described. Probably just a weird responsive web mobile Chrome zoom thingy.
That hinges on the assumption that the original (downvoted) comment has merit. Many of them just don't.
Global economy is like 90T. If Microsoft disappeared tomorrow there would probably be trillions in economic damage, but it's still hard to rationalize market cap worth 3% or global gdp. Software equivalent of credit card transaction fee but for basic productivity.

Yeah. I'm not so familiar with this. Does remind me of the Supreme brand too. The shoes I think are quite heavily traded in the grey market/amongst collectors/resellers?
I get the impression incentivizing holding little personal data is one of the goals of GDPR
The mainstream media is obsessed with planes, airports, airlines, etc. and any/all related incidents. "What's that Bill? No shark attacks to report? OK then, let's run something about planes and airlines."

At any given moment, few people out of all actual fly in a given year, fewer still are in the air at any given moment; given the number of flights, air travel is very safe. But outliers are easy to sensationalize and make great "breaking news". Welcome to the Fear Economy.
Does it work with Chrome 60?
You can't be everything to everyone. Packaging considerations for niche use cases rightfully take a back seat to debuggability and packaging considerations in modern web deployments and consumer devices.
How many attributed to the model currently in the news? I'm not aware of any fatalities with the 737 MAX 9.

Of course if you want to find some deaths you could broaden your selection to include other 737 MAX variants, any 737, any Boeing airplane, or perhaps even airplanes in general. Hopefully you consider the corresponding safety records in terms of flights or miles flown, perhaps even adjusted for time (modern planes are safer than 1960s planes; the first years of service for a model may be measurably, albeit typically negligibly, less safe than later years)
You might be right but even my non-technical 50 years old friend who decided to use 23 and me with her sister to see if they shared the same father, did it with a fake name.
Part of the problem is he wrote so much it has taken a while to go through it all. I believe the "Opera Omnia" project to publish all his works has been going for over a hundred years and is just about getting to the end now. So I would expect there's a huge amount that just hasn't been fully appreciated/digested.
Most people would consider deliberately damaging a child's hearing permanently so they can be a part of the deaf community to be child abuse. Similar to paralyzing a child to be a part of that community.

It's great that there are communities for the disabled, trauma victims, etc. But those communities should hope that someday those communities are no longer needed.
Well it could very well be a slight inefficiency as a result of tradition or inertia or whatever.

I also suspect that the probability of converting for 2 goes down with each subsequent attempt. You can expect teams to have a few plays installed specifically for critical 2PC attempts, and you may not want to burn those plays for marginal gain early in the game.
What is the expectation here for the coming years, does it make sense to wait?

I assume this tech moves like most tech and it will only get cheaper like you say but also better. Are we still in the early adopter phase?
The Science has been used for political arguments at least since the founding of the EPA, which occurred over 50 years ago. The Science was used to ban CFCs 30 years ago.

So why now?
Hurrah for the Blackshirts!
It's unclear. The Lions also weren't running down the play clock. Possibly everyone just accepted that the game was over and the Lions didn't run down the play clock and the Bucs didn't use their time out.

Or Bowles mentally marked the game as over and then didn't notice the Lions messed up with the play clock.
a limited anecdote for you:

I played a lot of War Thunder on Devuan (Debian minus systemd) through Steam.

Up till last year, I owned an nVidia 1080Ti. Performance in Linux was quite good, but I had crash after crash in War Thunder - Gaijin blamed nVidia for the bug, nVidia blamed Gaijin. End result was it remains crashy. Closed-source, so nobody who really cares can look. The crashes were so frustrating I decided to go AMD. nVidia driver updates are sometimes a crapshoot, most times it works fine, but every now and again the update results in a broken Xorg which is a PITA to fix, heaven help you if you get a mix of the nouveau and the official drivers.

Last year, I bought an AMD 6700XT as the prices dropped. I chose the 6700XT as it seemed like the best performance at the lowest power/cooling requirement.

Gaming has been flawless with just the in-kernel drivers using RADV. No addon software stack required, "it just works". I play a lot of games using Proton/Steam, so if issues were going to pop up, it would be there. I had some initial confusion as I thought I'd need to download the drivers from AMD, but as it turns out everything works great in kernel 6.x automatically provided you have the non-free firmware packages installed.

I would like to add to it that we do not know how various seemingly insignificant signals can be correlated together to reach some more significant conclusions.

I always remind myself there exist people much smarter, much more motivated and with much more time on their hand who think about these things and figure stuff out.

To deal with the problem (of security) seriously, the only possible sane policy is to not provide ANY unnecessary information under any circumstances. And that might not be enough, because the information that is legitimately needed to get the things we want might already be way too much.
I certainly care if my country becomes more dysfunctional by abandoning merit — in ideas, values, and job applicants — for ideological narratives. These are real-world consequences. Abandoning merit leads, in turn, to dysfunction, which lowers quality of life. That we should try to avoid this is self-evident.

Ideas have a tangible impact.
Take the scientific revolution. It was a product of Western thinking, and has undeniably advanced global health and technology. This isn't just an abstract claim; these are tangible advancements in the human condition.

As for slavery, it existed in the Americas among indigenous peoples before European colonization. While Western expansion was associated with certain negative practices, Western societies were also instrumental in ending slavery as a globally tolerated institution. Highlighting the positive does not imply denying the negative. It implies pursuing an impartial assessment to determine the net impact of Western values.

And my stance isn't against inspecting our philosophical frameworks; it's about ensuring impartiality that looks at achievements and flaws equally so as to not understate the merit of Western values.
Reaction I: It'd be a piss-poor excuse for an academic department that could somehow fail to notice that a candidate's or employee's published works included such crap.

Reaction II: Yeah, there probably are quite a few piss-poor academic departments in this world...
I think, even though I can absolutely see the arguments for doing so, locking down the compiler to no longer accept external native extensions was a huge mistake community wise, since a lot of the people advocating for Elm were the sort of early adopter who really really wants an escape hatch because they're in the habit of getting into situations where they need one no matter what tools they're using.

Certainly that describes me, and when all the people who seemed to be like me got told to go sit on a cactus by the Elm core developers and bailed out to work with something else, my experiments got pretty much immediately shelved and Elm moved into the "interesting place to steal ideas from, actively hostile to my actually using it" category.

This may be unfair, but I'm pretty sure it's a reasonable description of what -did- happen, fair or not.
> Seems like both Tesla and Boeing are having similar quality control issues.

I really don't get how people are not becoming paranoid about planes. I used to say "it's much safer than taking your car, don't worry". Now, given the problems Boeing has had in the last few years (which was not "bad luck" but rather "poor engineering"), I don't feel like telling people who are scared to fly that planes are particularly safe.

Still nobody around me seems to even wonder what plane they will use for their next flight. In many ways the covid vaccines were much more thoroughly tested and therefore safer than (at least Boeing) planes, but still a ton of people were afraid of the vaccines and nobody of the planes :-).
Why aren’t scams easily prosecuted in this case?

We should at a minimum have financial information and contacts for the person who created the ads.

Where do you ride a horse in general public? That seems dangerous.
It is absolutely illegal.

Many states have laws that explicitly target commercial bribery. Even where those laws don't exist, various fraud laws can also apply.

I don't know if there is specific precedent here, but your broad assertions are quite incorrect as even a cursory google search will reveal.
yeah but photos on your HDD aren't likely to be accessible online for years and years even with self-hosting.
That was one of "the" books in the space prior to DDIA. In my opinion Akidao mixes the logic for processing events with the stream infrastructure implementation because he was writing from the context of his particular use cases. The time that I spoke with him it seemed that his influence had driven to the design of Google's systems and GCP such that they didn't properly prioritize ordering/linearity/consistency requirements. At this point my copy is of historic interest to me.
