The way I understood the MP944 setup, on every cycle you can execute three compound operations in parallel: add+clip, add+mul, and add+div. There is no jump so program flow is just one big loop. You had three separate instruction lists in the ROM, one for each pipeline. I like how they designed modular parts so they could adjust the pipeline configuration to their needs by just wiring the chips differently.

The instruction bits and 20 bit input numbers were set by hand. Can you fathom the amount of deliberation that went into programming such a system? Here I am gluing API calls together that process a bunch of arrays in cloud storage. I'm working four layers above HTTP serialization.

I completely agree. In my experience what, what works is:

1) Development containers. They're not for every situation, but if they suit your situation (prebuilt base images, private repo, long build times that can be split out into common layers, probably remote dev with a good IDE that natively supports them, i.e. a Jetbrains IDE), they're amazing. They completely remove the need for "works on my machine" as you deploy a multi stage built app from the same base container image.

2) Single "5 step" setup page. The setup guide should be: Install git/p4, install toolchain with versions, log in, clone, `make build`/`cmake --build` / `npm run dev`. Depending on what you work on, "run dependencies in a container" (database, grafana/prometheus, log agent) might be there too. Everyone who is onboarded follows these steps, and their first two tasks, in your teams issue tracker are "fix anything that didn't work in setup guide", and "make a PR", both of which should happen on day 1/2.
Where I think many people get weaker abstractions of this in their mind is where the OP hints:

> and therefore a more accurate description of this feature is Everything is a file descriptor

The filesystem is where files go to get names, and to be organized. But critically, not everything is a normal file, which I think is where people experience the most "the abstraction is leaky!" feelings. I don't think the abstraction needs everything to be a normal file, but I think there is still a lot of use in having a unified namespace for all the various types of files, normal or otherwise. (As opposed to having disparate namespaces for files of different types.)

For the "file descriptor" half, the value is being able to wait on events/event completion for a set of heterogeneous file descriptors, but boy did it take a while to get there with usable interfaces for that.

While you could do that it would just give you false hope. Pubmed contains research from all areas of natural sciences, and you need to get used to the wording to know feasible the claims of an article are. Some examples:

- Usually research goes in vitro (in a petri dish) -> in animals -> in humans. An article can claim that they've found the cure for cancer, if its just in vitro it doesnt mean much. The medicine needs to go to the right place, it should not have too bad side effects,...a very small percentage of medicine that works in vitro makes it to human testing.
- even if it works in humans it might not be feasible to manufacture it. We have got medicine that costs over 3 million USD per dose, obviously there is a cost when the manufacturer just scraps the project even if it works perfectly.

I dont think is much about how much you write, is more like your brain consciously and subconsciously keep track of how enjoyable/frustrating is to any use any given tool (or perform any given action), for developers that includes the code editor, and some developers percieve speed as one of the most important features to make it enjoyable

Regardless, as I understand it, it's well-established that almond milk uses less water per gallon than dairy milk.

However, we grow almonds in areas that don't have enough water, and milk is often produced in areas with surplus water.

Either way, I prefer soy milk.

> A philosopher can only leave the waiting phase and attempt to pick up the forks again after each of their adjacent philosophers has either started eating or entered and left the waiting phase once.

Consider the case of Plato starts eating, and both Hume and Arendt try to eat before he finishes. What happens to the system after that?

Exercise: can you express the Dining Philosophers system entirely symbolically in terms of FOL+GFX? From there you can run model checkers on it, which is great for building an intuition for problematic edge cases.

I am pretty sure in anime that you have specific studios and directors who direct and animate fight scenes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yutaka_Nakamura

Is one who comes to mind. It requires a specialist and costs an outsized amount of money per frame compared to regular scenes. In western live action films it requires a director who intentionally wants to emulate that style and a studio that is willing to spend the money to do so. The incentives probably aren't aligned for big blockbusters to have well-choreographed fight scenes anymore.

There is obviously still an appetite for well choreographed fight scenes, but they are in the new Western feature-length animation projects (Spiderverse, Puss in Boots), probably because this generation of directors and animators grew up watching Yutaka Nakamura's fight scenes or RWBY.

But IMO asking why so much new media has bad fight scenes is like asking why so much new media has poor writing. It's a commodity that people probably didn't care about that much.

FAA Clears Path for Boeing 737 MAX 9 to Resume Flying
That is exactly GPS point: a car doesn't have a distribution of speeds unless you measure it relative to something else whereas a liquid or a solid does have a temperature, regardless of anything else. Depending on what the something else is that you measure your car's speed by you may decide it goes forward, backward or is motionless.

When you start talking about individual molecules, atoms or particles the whole concept of temperature becomes very counterintuitive. Think of it as a substitute for motion or vibration if you wish and even that is grossly inaccurate (but less so...).

Maybe this will help: a gas in a container has a pressure and a density as well as a temperature, all of which are properties of the gas and not of the individual gas molecules. A single molecule that the gas is made up from does not have a density, it doesn't have a temperature and it doesn't have a pressure. What it may have though is a speed relative to something else, and when it hits the something else it may impart some energy relative to that speed difference.

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Expressing negative opinions is fine. But perhaps you should have a fear of being rude. We are a community, and there's plenty of other people reading these comments. I value kindness and being constructive, neither of which the comment I replied to appear to express.
Gerald’s Game perhaps? I mean it’s not a sexy sex scene but it really informs us about a character.

Of course many sex scenes are unnecessary, just there to titillate.
I didn't know about these, but they really seem like they are extremely well designed:

1. First, they look pretty nice from the outside.

2. Stainless steel, so easy to clean.

3. It's really hard to balance privacy with keeping things from being a haven from drug use and prostitution in urban areas, they seem like they did a great job with that.

4. Price seems reasonable.
Yeah, I kept double checking GitHub's notifications setting panel while developing this. It's kind of shocking that such a basic feature isn't available.
My problem with Restic was that it did not recognize sub-second timestamps of files. I made test scripts that tested it (and were creating files and directories in a hypothetical backup source, and were also changing the files) but then Restic insisted nothing was changed because the changes were happening too fast.

I modified the scripts to do `sleep 1` between each change but it left a sour taste and I never gave Restic a fair chance. I see a good amount of praise in this thread, I'll definitely revisit it when I get a little free time and energy.

Because yeah, it's not expected you'll make a second backup snapshots <1s after the first one. :D

Show HN: Record, plot and replay arbitrary 433mhz signals using a Raspberry Pi
I made a Python command-line tool to record and replay arbitrary 433mhz signals. This allows to clone key fobs, garage door openers etc. In addition to the recording/replaying, it also supports graphical plotting of the recorded signals. I use it to control my garage door and some 'dumb' remote controlled power sockets. Feel free to try it out.
open, read, write, seek, ioctl, etc are a weird interface to use for IPC.

I would rather there be a proper API for remote objects rather then every remote object having to roll its own protocol for doing the same.
> A naval blockade is an act of war. A naval blockade in international shipping lanes is an act of war against every country that uses those seas!

I don’t dispute this. However by that logic, Israel has been at war with Gaza (and everyone that trades with Gaza, including Turkey) since 2008. And if we follow that logic further—which we shouldn’t—we can explain Oct. 7 as a particularly horrendous war-crime in a war full of war crimes committed by both sides, but again, we shouldn’t do that.

I also don’t dispute the irony. It most definitely is there, I just find it unimportant. On a global issue, you will always find very different groups with vastly different goals, and it just so happens that one of their goals intersect. They don’t need to be united behind that goal (and they seldomly are) but what you will see is every group has most likely very different means towards that goal.

These actions may even be counterproductive. You may believe that this is the case for the Houthi actions, I don’t, and for that we’re just going to have to disagree.

Finally I would like to note, I’m not sympathetic to the Houthies as a group, merely their stated goal of a ceasefire. I’m also of the believe that we are going to have to be way more disruptive if we are to achieve ceasefire. I believe—and I may be proven wrong about this—that the ICJ case is not gonna be enough, as any enforcement may—and I believe it will—simply be blocked by the USA.

Expect to see much more disruptive actions from all groups if (when?) the international community fails to enforce the orders from the ICJ.
Amazon is an economic parasite. It has destroyed the small business economy so thoroughly that you are forced to use it (I wonder if Gen Z realizes that you used to be able to buy things in places other than Amazon), flooded the market with fakes and fraudulent listings, and provides only exploitative sweatshop jobs where you will be stack ranked on how long it takes for you to urinate.

Good to see them reaping what they sow, even if it’s only a pinprick.
we find that in the first 5 years from an initial publication peer-reviewed conference papers submitted early to ArXiv gain on average 21.1+/-17.4 more citations, revised on ArXiv gain 18.4 +/- 17.6 more citations, and promoted on X gain 44.4 +/- 8 more citations. Our results show that promoting one's work on ArXiv or X has a large impact on the number of citations, as well as the number of influential citations computed by Semantic Scholar, and thereby on the career of researchers.

Really makes me rethink deleting my Twitter account. It's clear network effects exist, but an average treatment effect of 44 more citations is pretty huge.

Arcane (Fortiche's animated series in the League of Legend world) has really good fight scenes, I find.

Technically impressive, but the fate of the main movie actor saddens me. (Spoiler: a curious sheep gets smashed by a sledgehammer).
Exactly correct. If you wanted "authentic" warping you could install a unity lens with warping around the edges on the face of the OLED. I built a simple hexagonal phosphor simulator module in HDL that one could use in an FPGA to reproduce the characteristics of any tube[1]. It has been suggested that I build a "retro" terminal kit out of it (but with selectable phosphor colors :-).

[1] My thought was that you could "restore" old test equipment for which tubes were no longer available without changing the interface the electronics in the gear expected.

I've always held TIE Fighter as the pinnacle. The story is epic and the dog fighting is very intense, not only early on when you're in an unshielded TIE Fighter (going up against TIE Interceptors and the Escort Shuttles with that rear facing turbo laser) but also later on when you are in a TIE Advanced going up against TIE Defenders.
A greedy investor would have built more homes that better matched our population dynamics.

Greed is insufficient to explain the problem. We have a market failure here for sure. (Markets work even in the presence of greed, with the proper regulatory environment. Whatever the hell has gone wrong with our society over the last 30 years to cause us to stop building houses is... well... "Greed" just is insufficient to explain the behavior)
The complications are intentional. It doesn't need to be this way, but the job of a VC is to screw workers out of as much money as possible, as quickly as possible. Complex deals are one tool in the toolbox.

That's Piraha and Daniel Everett's work. Even assuming the results are correct (that Piraha doesn't use recursion) that doesn't demonstrate anything relevant. What you want to show is that Piraha people don't have the ability for recursion (i.e. they are an example of people without this innate language faculty), not that they don't apply it. I don't think anyone believes that if you take a Piraha newborn to New York they wouldn't learn English.

> We don't even know if it's in the realm of the possible.

We know it's possible, because you typed it. Unless you believe in the metaphysical, then it is proven possible, with physical systems. The question is then, can the fundamental aspects of intelligence, in the biological systems, be practically emulated in other systems?
It's dancing for entertainment's sake, not for plot sake. How many people enjoy a given fight scene depends on how well it's done. A thousand movies could have the "hero gets beaten up initially, hero trains, now hero wins" plot series and be wildly different in execution quality and entertainment value.

But that's fine. Good, even? If you can turn "John Wick searches for the bad guy in a club in NYC" into ten minutes of entertainment then you deserve to have success.

I'm also not as pessimistic about the last couple of decades of moviemaking in that regard either. Some are good, a lot are dreck, but were 80s and 90s action movies all crushing it or do we just have rose-tinted memories since we remember the classics more than the also-weres? Even the article says "it wasn’t really until The Matrix arrived in 1999 that American audiences started wanting the kind of fight scenes you’d see in niche cult classics like Eastern Promises and They Live! or Asian cinema like The Raid and Oldboy" - so what's so unusual about post-2008 compared to pre-1999?
I imagine it's things like the maximum power output of the power plant, the volume it runs at, things like that. Similarly, the max depth of submarines and their audible signature are closely guarded secrets.

A lot of talk about the loss of engineering culture at Boeing. Years ago I was doing a research project on data interoperability and learned that each jet Boeing produces relies on over 200 different software programs. That probably isn't surprising, until I clarify that I literally mean each jet. As in every single jet assembled has its own unique software stack. It may have been the most challenging data interoperability problem I ever heard of, and I did hundreds of interviews across dozens of industries.

So yeah, lots of places to hide laziness.... And near impossible to have cross domain programmatic checks.

Your example would be a great one for a statistic. The one I was replying to created a whole straw man argument using words such as "will be" and "on average" implying knowledge.

Using phrases such as "I honestly think" are to engage in discourse as it invites discussion rather than presenting opinion as fact and leading to a request to back it up. The whole thread created a straw man caricature like out of the 1920's adding no value to the discussion.
