Do you foresee a massive upsurge in racism then? I hope not, and that over time people will become more sensible about seeing those who look different from them as simply "other people". In the UK, some of the most racist people are dying out and being replaced with people who are used to growing up in a multi-ethnic society and having friends that look different. There was some hoo-hah a couple years back when politicians wanted to stir up racism and the England football team was having none if it, they are a bunch of young lads of many colours who value each other equally, as it should be. OTOH unfortunately we now have right-wing politicians who themselves are non-white who are trying to stir up racism against people the same colour as them.
This is not consistent with the law.
> TikTok’s tactics are obvious: use its platform power to hurt vulnerable artists and try to intimidate us into conceding to a bad deal that undervalues music and shortchanges artists and songwriters as well as their fans.

Yes, the record companies want to keep their monopoly on that
An advantage to a law which is widely flauted is that it gives arbitrary pretext to apprehend or detain any given person.

Those who are, at least for now, within good graces are of course exempted. Those who are systematically repressed can be systematically, specifically, and/or arbitrarily detained, investigated, and/or prosecuted, as suits political needs.

And the fact that the actions are based on at least nominal basis in law and procedure means that the practice is defensible both to those tasked with enacting it and with the institutions and general public. Even tyrants find that power is best and most readily exerted through cooperating and existing channels.
Isn't FaaS just wrapping around functions and their deployment?
If you don't want to live in a walkable area boy have I got great news for you. Close your eyes and point at the map!
There's some really mind-bending technology out in the Karoo.

I recall a talk from a (now defunct) conference I attended a number of years ago that was given by one of the SKA researchers describing the kinds of problems they were solving with managing the vast amounts data coming out one of their telescopes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIFhC_q6Jqw
Universal must be in a pretty difficult negotiating position here. The artists they represent want their music to be distributed on TikTok. The royalties are nice, but the primary value is likely the popularity boost of having your music featured in insanely viral videos and trends with billions of views. Universal doesn't get a cut of that though (aside from increased streaming revenue elsewhere).
Software already shares hardware at the function level. You have far more visibility and control over this within your program than you do when you add an unnecessary layer of abstraction like FaaS.

Think more about the name: Function as a Service.

Why do you need to serve yourself your own functions? It makes sense only in the context of a cloud provider that's trying to solve the problem of underutilized resources used across many customers.
Agreed on both the advice and the difficulty of engaging in practice.

What I'll frequently do where a counterparty has looped back to an earlier position is to simply link directly to my earlier response to that point, with the implicit statement "we've already covered this ground, I'm not going to repeat myself".

Walking away from such discussions is still challenging as there's always a temptation to respond. This is where employing HN's thread-collapse feature is useful. I'll typically do this at some point above my final response. The threads remain closed until the post is about two weeks old per earlier discussions with dang.

If you start from next to nothing, you can sustain 3% growth per year for 33 years until you reach 100% growth. That is 33 years to go from lifting 50lbs to lifting 100lbs. You'd actually probably have to work hard to improve that slowly. For cardio that's going from a 20 to a 10 minute mile over 33 years. After a plateau, you generally need to train smarter rather than harder, and then you can keep gaining.

Even if you can't sustain it forever, you're getting fitter than if you weren't doing anything, so your life expectancy is still getting longer.
> One of the computers will be based in Cape Town.

FYI, it makes sense for this location as it's still (relatively) close the the SKA telescopes, which are of course in a high, dry, remote and sparsely inhabited area. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutherland,_South_Africa )

And Cape Town is the nearest large coastal population centre where several sub-sea internet cables connect to the land, so it's closer to the rest of the global network in that regard.

My understanding is that most credit unions in the US do charge NSF fees. I know I've been charged them on a savings account at a credit union that rejected an ACH transfer.

At the time, I switched to one of those high interest low fee online banks. They still charged overdraft fees, but they were lower. I had actually tired to create an account there initially, but was rejected due to lack of credit. I had to create a credit union account checking account first to establish some credit before the online bank would do business with me. Note that I'd had savings accounts at a national bank and the credit union previously, but that wasn't enough.

I just checked and my local credit union still charges for NSF, but the online bank I use does not.

Discussion from yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39179929
The completion of a 12 year long project in RonDB
Disclaimer. I work for the SKA.

This article is totally wrong in some many ways, that I'm just dumbfounded. I think this was written by some AI that has no clue about reality.

Allow me to correct just a few points:

1st. China is a latecomer to the project. In fact, while they officially joined, they have very little presence on the build process. There are presently no Chinese teams working along the rest of them on the Observatory.

2nd. SKAMPI is (was) an internal technology to setup an integration ground for the work from the various teams on the SKA Observatory. It was deprecated about 6 months ago, because it was just unmaintainable (the teams were constantly breaking it). I don't understand where they got the name from, because it has absolutely nothing to do with the name. No, the SKA telescopes are not "known as SKAMPI". There was a collaboration known as "SKAMP" though, maybe that was mentioned somewhere, and it all got mixed up.

3rd. The telescopes are located in South Africa and Australia, and the headquarters where we centralise the monitoring and control in the UK.

4th. It's not driven by docker, that's just silly. The build and integration process mostly runs on 2 Kubernetes clusters. The image build process was made in house so that it's mostly automated by GitLab pipelines we created. The teams only have to submit the code, tag a release, and the pipeline builds and publishes all the artefacts for them. The controlling resides at the antennas (in this case for the Mid telescopes) also in a k8s cluster that orchestrates the various services we need.

I'm really appalled at the terrible reporting here.

EDIT:
On 2. Seems like this was now adopted. A collab with Max Planck Institute, that was sometimes abbreviated as SKA-MPI, now (as of 24th of January) became SKAMPI (using the same name as the deprecated integration platform).

Maybe, maybe not. This still does not explain why you chose to use such an inflammatory example in what seems to be a defence for Apple's stance regarding third-party 'app stores' while it has been clear from the get-go that Apple wants to keep control over the distribution channels to keep up its profit margins.

> You're acting like this is some kind of futuristic concept.

No, I'm not. I'm well aware of how other countries operate, as well as proposals for upcoming systems in the US.

I'm observing that the article we're currently discussing talks about multiple sources of issues with checks, and immediate-clearing electronic systems solve some but not all of them.

Immediate clearing systems eliminate NSF issues: a check will never bounce, it'll get cleared immediately or rejected immediately. This is a great thing and I'm looking forward to it. It'll be a massive reduction in fees and hassle for many people.

Immediate clearing systems do not eliminate the problem of the purported originator of the check disputing/rejecting/etc the check payment and the originating bank clawing back the payment. There are any number of reasons for that, some of them legitimate. The article mentions some of them, and there are more.

I am not making an argument against immediate clearing systems; on the contrary, I think they're an incredible good idea. I'm observing that they are not, in fact, a panacea that on its own will completely eliminate the reasons why people are unbanked or underbanked.

By that logic, if people work better jobs and they get more money then that must flow to landlords too. I don't see how producing higher quality stuff changes that metric en masse.. unless it's producing more houses.

But I agree with your (unstated) point, basic income also needs tighter limits imposed on rent seeking behaviour. But I reckon we need tighter limits on rent seeking behaviour anyway.
Sorry for the lousy work in structure / syntax etc, I was in a hurry. But I HOPE people get the point and realize how serious all this is.

Seems that the notion of `uniformly` is the key aspect here, i.e. "the sets are ordered" in my intuitive notion.

So if the first one you've picked is red, then the only way for the next one to be green is if you started in the set of one red ball + 99 green balls; so you'd have to "pick" one specific set out of 100 possible (set of "all are green" is already impossible at this point), which is why it is very unlikely, and so you should expect the next one to be red.

And the more reds in a row you pick, the less likely you are to see a green one.

I think it means reserving resources. When resources are reserved, they cannot be used for anything else (even if you're not actually using that reservation) so one can also say that those resources are "consumed".

> I think the market (and analysts like this) are all throwing the towel

1) Intel is up 100% from ten years ago when it was at $ 23. All that despite revenue being flat/negative, inflation and costs rising and margins collapsing.

2) Intel is up 60% in the last 12 months alone.

Doesn't look to me like they throwing the towel at all.
Chillax bruh, homie was just asking for beta.
Check usage is definitely on a downwards trend here in the US too, but there are very important benefits to using them and I doubt they will ever become truly obsolete.

As for the benefits I just alluded to, they are in no particular order:

* Simplicity and security. You cut someone a check, it's effectively the same as handing someone a wad of cash but without the logistical, security, and social issues associated with handling wads of cash.

* Convenience. Checks are easy to use and require nothing other than a pen compared to other forms of transferring money, such as wire transfers or debit cards.

* Assurance. Cashier's checks are a special kind of check guaranteed by the underwriting bank. These are often used when large sums of money need to exchange hands with no hassle or problems (eg: real estate or vehicle purchases).
The root cause: They are not using it because engineers who committed securities to a GitHub repository are not going to have any repercussions. Their salary does not depend on, like the salary of their bosses. So it does not cost anything on a personal level.
Sing Sing
While I am absolutely no fan of TikTok, I've stayed away as much as practical for a collection of reasons and intend to continue doing so, I'm torn between two similar takes on this:

1. Isn't it the height of hypocrisy for an entity like Universal to be questioning anyone else on the subject of “the issue of artist and songwriter compensation”

2. You know you are really treating the creators badly when Universal are calling you out on it.

I doubt Universal's real concern has as much to do with artist incomes as this statement suggests, and I would be interested to see some of artists' takes on the matter.
That was very luck for Apple though. Nokia made deals with Intel to provide the CPU for upcoming phone models, and had to scramble to redesign them when it became clear Intel was unable to deliver.

I get that, there are always going to be outliers, but "cars" are the right answer to the noise pollution question for the vast majority of the population. Construction is a valid one too, but that one is unavoidable except for all the car infrastructure.
Technically speaking it a) unrolls all loop up to their length (if it can be statically determined) or to a given verification bound; b) transforms the code into SSA; c) transforms the SSA into a SAT formula. If the SAT formula is satisfiable, its certificate is a counterexample to the property under verifecation.

Of course the toy example is a toy, and of course it does not "run" anything, but this is a sound technique: if there is an execution that violates a property, it will be found.

> Was AMD really competitive before Ryzen?

No, but ARM should've rung many bells.

Intel poured tons of billions in mobile.

Didn't understood the future from smartphones to servers was about power efficiency and scale.

Eventually their lack of power efficiency made them lose ground in all their core business. I hope they will get this back and not just by competing on manufacturing but architecture too.
Depends who your user is. From a desktop side you're probably not going to notice because desktop CPU requirements have been stagnant for years, desktop is all about GPU. On the server side Sapphire Rapids and Emerald Rapids is Intel getting back in the game and the game is power and market share.

See there's only 2 or 3 more obvious generations of obvious die shrinks available. Beyond those generations we'll have to innovate some other way, so whoever grabs the fab market for these modes now gets a longer period to enjoy the fruits of their innovation.

Meanwhile server CPU TDPs are hitting the 400W+ mark and DC owners are looking dubiously at big copper busbars, die shrinks tend to reduce the Watts per Calculation so they're appealing. In the current power market, more efficient computing translates into actual savings on your power bill. There's still demand for better processors, even if we are sweating those assets for 5-7 years now.
I hear you, but they've all moved along in leaps and bounds. Some options if you ever look again -

completely agree, when you look at the full thread, no one even blinks an eye at his rant. They just proceed forward, and when they do so, Linus responds pretty normally (until his next condescending rant).

Seems like people in this group have pretty much gotten used to him being a condescending ass every dozen messages, filter out the posturing, take his genuine suggestion, and work from there.

It doesn't seem to bother them (or they are expending emotional energy not responding to it, a likely bit of collateral damage, but they are still communicating in a pretty professional way besides his tantrums).
I would love to live in a walkable area. I would like people designing walkable areas to not make assumptions like "Oh, everyone will love shopping several times a week, just like I do!".

Let's not have a false dichotomy that assumes everyone who wants to live somewhere walkable also enjoys running errands and wants to do it more often.

I could've sworn that "it's easy to type on" was the one weird trick it did right? Though perhaps I'm just misremembering the media; my first iOS device of any kind was the iPod touch with retina display.

Something about Apple having a temporary monopoly (or possibly monopsony) on capacitive touch screens, where everyone else was stuck with resistive ones?
