you could just as well say that the mortgage interest payments the bank takes in are subsidizing credit card points, or HELOC origination fees, or account maintenance fees are subsidizing points. you could also say the bank's profits from trading securities, or their lucrative wealth managements services are subsidizing points. but none of that would be accurate. The banks have a range of services and some are big wins and some are marginal and some may even be losses, and of course the wins help balance out the losses, but unless you can show that points disappear if poor folks manage their credit better and pay more reasonable interest rates, it's not reasonable to frame points as being subsidized by the poor.

I agree that they too often chose to be petty and have a strong negative bias. They also sometimes seems to believe that insults are arguments.

My personal opinion of Musk is quite different[0], but I do believe that they are not factually lying about the numbers and court documents.

The "problem that needs solving" as you put it, is I believe fundamentally not solvable. Not at the human level, not at the computer level, not even at the we-made-a-Dyson-sphere post-human utopia level. Because the speed of light.

No matter how efficient we are overall, what we can access the fastest is fundamentally limited, because what we can keep closest is limited. If you want to access information in less than 3 nanoseconds, a copy of that information must be stored less than a meter away.

More prosaically, the reason our screens offer only a small window, is because our eyes only offer a small window. The problem would not really be solved even with infinite resolution VR googles.

> Code is a database of functions. This approach is like trying to design a database in denormalized form.

I believe I disagree for the most part.
But to me as a relatively experienced APLer, it reads very clearly as "return if there are no non-ASCII chars in `w`" (and if there are, the indices of those chars will be stored in `i` and the code point of every char will be stored in `c`).
That use-case seems inefficient to solve like that in the long run as well, like if you really would have to use a million tokens to do every small query you require on your data it would be prohibitively costly except doing as an experiment.
Anecdotal, but I’ve had an Apple Pencil replaced for free on the spot well outside of its warranty because it was defective and I hadn’t realised (don’t ask) I’ve had a Apple Store employee hand me a brand new iPhone when I brought in my phone that wouldn’t turn on one day - no questions asked. I’ve had friends with very similar cases. It’s always felt like “against policy” which might be their actual policy so it doesn’t get abused or something? They mentioned that the manager made an exemption for me with the Pencil. It’s very hard to track and very hard to advertise but their customer service in my experience has been exceptional.
Not to mention he's also very humble. Admitting that he would not build Nvidia again was hard to say I imagine.
> I find it pretty damn rational to deliberately remove CONSUME MOAR incentives like points/miles/cash-back rewards from my life.

Can you explain why is it rational to willingly pay more for things when you could pay less?

I also wish we didn't have to play these games, but we don't get that choice. But we do have a choice to pay less (with a credit card) or pay more, so take the rational choice.
Thats genius
> There's no annual fee 2% cash back cards. It's a little disingenuous to say the 1.5-3.5% interchange fee "mostly goes to middle men" when most of it goes right back into your pocket in one way or another.

There are two problems with this. The first is that not everybody is eligible for the no annual fee 2% cash back cards, and the people who aren't are the people in financial straits, so this is effectively a tax on the poor.

The second is that it's an anti-competition measure. Sure, maybe you get 2% out of the 3% the merchant is charged, but then you refuse to use a competing payments system because you want your 2%. And then we're stuck with the incumbents forever because anything new and different can't build a network effect when customers would have to pay a de facto 2% tax on everything they buy in order to use it.

Which is exactly what happens to your debit cards -- and then people are subject to the whims of Visa and their opaque capricious KYC implementation.

It's quite to difficult to not end up in rabbit holes and lose track of what you are doing.

I have often ended up chasing the wrong thing/going in the wrong direction.
What thing is consent?

Mastodon is an odd sort of network, there's more blocking than I expected and it somehow seems as if blocking is an intrinsic part of the design. In Mastodon, blocking looks like a choice one makes for whatever reasons, not an unloved measure needed for fighting abuse.

As if the design doesn't tell users "you can follow people in the fediverse" but rather "your ability to follow people in the fediverse is limited by you and three other parties and the software isn't among the three".

So… if the mastodonish idea of consent doesn't extend to all of the fediverse, what makes bluesky different from some unvetted mastodon site run by weird people? If the poster's/follower's/would-be follower's consent isn't taken for granted in one case and isn't taken for granted in the other, what makes the two cases different? There obviously is a technical difference, but what is the difference wrt. consent?
Incredibly impressive how fast it is.

Great piece.

I mean I think the google woke issue is another thing but not so much to the culture war but more that we need to be careful with the instructions we give AI and why we give them. Should we be preoccupied with whether or not people will be offended by the output of AI? Surely if we train the AI “the right way” we won’t need to add blanket rules.
Show HN: RadioSide turns your spare device into a radio
Hi, as a shortwave radio listener, I felt as time goes by, the shortwave is becoming more and more empty yet I do enjoy the discovery of new stations and so on. On top of that, all the EM noise generated by all the electronics is not helping either.

The typical internet radio site/app does not give me the same feeling I get from my physical radios in terms of operation and stumbling upon some interesting station (radio.garden does help but not looking like a radio) so I got to make my own that combines the looks and operation of a shortwave radio with the availability of internet radio stations.

One aspect was to create this sort of virtual frequency allocation for the stations, that way you can key in the number and takes you to the station.

Been using this and enjoying particularly the random feature as I come about some pretty nice stations that I had no idea existed and would not have thought of searching for specifically.

It's free, no tracking and no app to install, it works in the browser. The presets are saved only on your device using local storage. What, when, where you listen to is none of my business.

Good to repurpose some of your spare devices, perhaps?

Hope someone else enjoys this as much as I do!

High performance systems in any language require these optimisations. Go provides a solid foundation to create the platform before you start optimising. Not saying it's the best or only choice, but it's not a bad choice.

Go strongly favors a fast compilation over performance gain, which influenced both the language design and implementation. For example, Daniel Lemire pointed out that its inlining strategy is very conservative [1]; inlining unlocks tons of optimization possibilities but also can dramatically affect the compilation time, which is probably why Go did so.

Arguably the tests should be easier to review than the implementation.

But if there non-trivial logic in the code of the tests, I agree this is probably a risky approach.
That's basically what I do as well. I combined a similar HDMI dongle with a Logitech K400 Plus wireless keyboard+trackpad combo. It's an absolutely terrible membrane keyboard for everyday use, but having the trackpad and keyboard in the same device, using the same single dongle that has a storage slot in the keyboard makes things really easy for light, occasional use.

This is the normal way to do it. One state administered batch of exams. Unique national questions. Everyone takes it in their own school. Private school students still do the same state test.

Universities tend to require a minimum overall grade and a minimum grade on the exam closest to what they teach.

But I suppose it would be communism if the federal government did it.

Sounds like algowashing, a.k.a. plausible deniability for the results of their models. Because it's a statistical model and not lines of code, they could go to the public and say "This model is sO cOmPlIcAtEd that not even we could have foreseen these results!" when their thumbs are on scales all over the place. I fear what happens when AI criminal profiling models flag undesirables as definitely psychotic serial killers ("just sprinkle some crack on him/some CP on his computer" with extra computer-mediated steps) or when, say, a hospital's AI cancer diagnostic model flags a sponsor's rival as "terminal - hook him up to the MAID machine and run him through the checkout line", and no one can point to evidence that shows the models are being manipulated despite that everyone knows they are.

I don't know about that, you might want to receive some help yourself right? In some cases it might be better to work at a place that values cooperation more than competition. You sound like you would thrive better at such a work culture.

However, often leads just need something in order to know what you are doing, especially managers that don't really closely work together with their team. It can help to just mention it to your lead. Because it is easy to see what you done, but not how you have helped somebody. Just mention it in whatever recurrent meeting you have. And if helping out takes more time, I'd say it is only fair to have whoever is responsible for delivery involved in prioritization, because then it is at the detriment of whatever you are working on, which might be more important.

Often, it takes less than 15-30 minutes to help somebody get unstuck. I wouldn't enjoy working at a place where people would refuse to help me with something like that, or I would be so pressed to achieve things that I can't spare 30 minutes out of my day to help someone out.
Someone being well-off, having power/wealth/influence, can still be a victim of racism and social marginalization. There's no irony or contradiction there.
This also happens with other software, and it's arguably even worse. Some mobile apps take up hundreds of megabytes because of all of the bloat that they feel the need to bundle.
I've tried it with a question which requires deeper expertise – "What is a good technique for device authentication in the context of IoT?" – and the Search mode is also worse than the Chat mode:

- Search: https://www.phind.com/search?cache=s4e576jlnp1mpw73n9iy4sqc

- Chat: https://www.phind.com/agent?cache=clsyev95o0006le08b5pjrs14

The search was heavily diluted by authentication methods that don't make any sense for machine-to-machine authentication, like multi-factor or biometric authentication, as well as the advice to combine several methods. It also falls into the, admittedly common, trap of assuming that certificate based authentication is more difficult to implement than symmetric key (i.e. pre-shared key) authentication.

The chat answer is not perfect, but the signal-to-noise ratio is much better. The multi-factor authentication advice is again present, but it's the only major error, and it also adds relevant side-topics that point in the right direction (secure credential storage, secure boot, logging of auth attempts). The Python example is cute, but completely useless, though (Python for embedded devices is rare and in any case you wouldn't want a raw TLS socket, but use it in a MQTTS / HTTPS / CoAP+DTLS stack, and last but not least, it provides a server instead of client, even though IoT devices mostly communicate outbound).
We also don't know if the outcomes would be preferrable. Do we need to move democracy into a high-frequency trading kind of world to do the things we want to?

I used to work at a place where page reloads was constantly an issue brought up as a negative. They couldn't be bothered to fix the slow page loads and instead avoided page changes.

I argued several times that we should improve performance instead of caring about page reloads, but never got through to anyone (in fairness, it was probably mostly cos of a senior dev there).

Wait... iOS doesn't have an offline music app anymore either? Google replaced the "Play Music" app (which could also play offline music files) with "Youtube Music" a few years ago (not sure if that works with offline files, I switched to a third party app), but I thought iOS still had one (precisely because they used to sell the iPods, specifically the iPod touch which was more or less an iPhone lacking the phone part)?

That's quite the brochure. My favorite selling point is the way you can make the machine display products that it's doesn't actually have inside, sell them, and give the punter a digital IOU instead of the soda they tried to buy...

> "Customizable UI design - Product selection can be extended to include products not physically in the machine. Consumers can store them in Invenda Wallet [a mobile app] and redeem them somewhere else."

Somehow managing to turn a convenience-driven impulse buy into an additional chore to redeem later.

At the end of the day, there must be some angle I'm not understanding or these features wouldn't actually drive sales. I wonder if the idea is to vend digital products? Drive traffic to nearby physical stores through some kind of targeted digital coupon? Has anyone seen this kind of thing in the wild?

Meta seeks ASIC designers for ML accelerators and datacenter SoCs
Nvidia is no longer selling just expansion cards. They are selling full cluster solutions with Infiniband networking (Mellanox acquisition) and even CPUs (Grace). I wouldn't be surprised if they put most of their GPGPU chip production in these.

And they are much better than the competition, too. AFAIK, only Google and Microsoft have anything competitive in terms of full architecture (but internal).
I wonder what the images look like / are accurate if you ask it to generate pictures of laid of googlers.
You can profile your Go programs and see how much time they spend in the garbage collector. If it's over 20% you probably have a bug. And of course Rust and C also spend time on memory management, it just has the effect of making everything a little slower rather than having one big ticket item in the profiler.

Go is slower than C and Rust, IME, for two big reasons:

1) It puts a lot of stuff on the heap, that could've been on the stack. This wrecks locality and makes Go call malloc/free a lot. (Actually not the malloc, just a malloc.)

2) Rust and C++ offer fine control over things like dispatch, checked and unchecked casts, control for allocation, strings, etc. Go usually offers one unified thing that's simple to use. So a lot more calls are virtual, a lot more things are checked at runtime, etc.

I don't understand why garbage collection is so mythologized. TBH I don't even understand why people think `Arc` and `shared_pointer` aren't garbage collection. Is this just the effect of Swift and Rust's marketing ("look, ma, no GC")?
I remember reading that credentialism was a way to avoid the "disparate impact" hammer if you don't employ enough blacks.

Even if you can tell with absolute knowledge that changing the graphics of that packaging increases conversion (removing the disgusting graphics of cancer patients), perhaps we shouldn't be selling more cigarettes?

Data informs your values, but your values are a choice. Already from the beginning, data will never define your values. Even with perfect knowledge, your decisions are still going to be a choice. Combine that with the fact that our knowledge is imperfect (our data is incomplete, biased, a single and partial perspective)...

"A company should seek to maximize its profits," is a normative statement, not a truth. It is a choice of values.
