> I know nothing, but it felt like intel paid the price of being the first.

As the book goes into, there were other things in question: since TSMC only did fab, and did not design, they had more customers/opportunities to iterate the process and get good at it (more focus).

There was internal-to-Intel stuff that led to lead loss as well.

I'm only partially through the book currently, and there's a lot of chip history being described (going back to the 1950s), so I'm not going to retain all of it in a single pass.

In my opinion, Altman's permanent departure would have been the death of OpenAI. After the majority of the staff threatened their resignation from OpenAI, Altman became the one holding all the leverage.

Popular brands for all kinds of things routinely contain toxins. There's simply no way to know unless you know the specific products, and those products have been tested. If mainstream brands can brazenly sell sunscreen with benzene and eye drops that kill people because they are produced in facilities where people don't wear shoes, then I don't see why tattoo ink should be assumed to be nontoxic in the wake of this news. Is American tattoo ink even produced in facilities that are capable of such quality controls, let alone regulated?
Please do! As a fellow KSQL pilot irl, this sounds awesome.
I think this is exactly related to that. Someone was whining in a different post yesterday for similar new requirements from google to publish an app on the Play Store and they felt that was "discriminatory" and devs should "band together to sue them".
The only reason nuclear weapons are easy to pinpoint is because so few actors are capable of making them. If you had one you could load it onto a semi truck, drive into the middle of New York or Moscow and detonate it, with all evidence conveniently destroyed in the blast.
Game wardens are law enforcement officers. They should be enforcing the law as written. Anything else undermines the rule of law and leads to selective enforcement.

If the government truly wants to make spotlighting with a drone legal, the correct place for intervention is at the DA level. They could have chosen not to prosecute.

And regardless of the drone, spotlighting is still illegal and for good reason. It would never make sense to allow spotlighting from a drone but not from ground - that defeats the purpose of banning spotlighting. If the state does make spotlighting legal, that's fine I guess (I disagree, but don't live in PA).

I have the weather on my watch face as well, though I do have to drill into the weather widget/glance to see the air quality index and UV index. Skimming the Garmin Connect IQ Store it looks like I could add those metrics to my watch face if I install a 3rd party data field or widget.

I will admit that I haven't installed very many 3rd party apps and my subjective impression is that many Garmin users never end up using 3rd party apps. The apps also look a bit utilitarian compared to Apple Watch apps. Still, having tried various kinds of smartwatches I definitely prefer a wearable that acts more like an appliance than a wrist-mounted computer.
I'll never understand how tattoos became so socially acceptable that 46% of people 30-49yo now have at least one: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/08/15/32-of-ame...

As if the continual rising prevalence of overweight and obese bodies (which I understand is not necessarily the fault of the individual) wasn't bad enough, people actually pay money to endure pain, risk exposure to bloodborne illnesses, and now apparently also to organ-damaging chemicals, all so they can permanently disfigure themselves to look uglier and trashier.

> 90% of tattoo ink contains chemicals that can cause organ damage

It is not what the study says. What the study says is "Out of 54 inks, 45 contained unlisted additives and/or pigments".

I mean, 100% of tattoos cause damage to the body, people know that. The problem is that people would like to know if it their particular case, because of an allergy, it may be worse than usual. And for that, knowing what's in the ink is important, and that's what the article is about.
Ask HN: Is it possible to verify the source used to compile a mobile app?
Let’s use Signal as an example. How confident can I really be that the app I’m getting from the App Store was built using the code that I see in GitHub?

It would be fantastic if Apple & Google gave developers the option of having their source code securely hosted and linked to from an app’s product page. Or at least some kind of cryptographic signature (a simple hash digest?) that could be used to foster more confidence.

I’m not an app developer, and my simple Google searching hasn’t come up with a satisfying answer.

Jane Jacobs is known for having argued this, about half a century ago.
If you are recovering down game you should have a gun on you. Sometimes you discover the animal is not dead, just in pain and will die many hours in the future. The ethical thing is to deliver a clean kill - which requires a weapon. Shooting a gun at close range under light is not dangerous. Most uses of a gun at night are stupid and recklessly dangerous, but this is one of the exceptions where it is safe.

Note that the above is at odds with telling if someone is illegally hunting at night. Which is why it is often prohibited.

Cutting emissions by 100% and being net zero are two different things. Emitting a bunch of GHG and then buying carbon offsets is radically different from never actually emitting GHG. And the parent never says "net", it says cut emissions 100%. You're reading words that aren't there.

If you wanted to cut emissions 100%, you would stop making cars. You would stop making busses. You would stop building roads. You would stop building trains. You would ground every plane. You would stop every boat. You would no longer have AC, you would no longer have refrigerators.

The foundation paid a lot more for their own employees than for the platform https://opencollective.com/foundation#category-BUDGET so I don't think you can pin it solely on the company, the "complex services" performed by the foundation itself also cost money.

As a long-time search and rescue volunteer, this passage sounds really problematic:

> Another section prohibits hunters from using artificial lights of any kind while carrying a firearm or other weapon

I absolutely understand why we don't want people using lights to attract animals while hunting. But failing to carry a headlamp or other light source when you might be out in the woods after dark would easily lead to more people needing assistance.
> The calendar of the Assyrians, for example […]

LOL.
Animals get used to things though. You see deer on trails all the time when you ride a noisy ATV on ATV trails through the woods, but walk the same trails and you never will. Deer gets used to ATVs and don't run. Deer generally are not used to humans on foot and will stay away.
> The actual domain name, the one you'd need to run DNS and such, is what you see.

But it's not something we should see. It's terrible UX for the reasons I presented. I don't ever want to see the underlying gibberish in a context where I'm reading and commenting on the web.

This is a forum for discussing news articles from sites. Gibberish is not what you ever want to see.

And the idea of being a vector for attacks doesn't hold water. Yes it's true in a theoretical sense, but anything can be a vector for attacks. If the Unicode version of the domain name is safe enough for major browsers to display in the address bar, then it's safe enough to display to the even more tech-savvy HN readership.

(Also your comment seems to misunderstand the analogy between UTF-8 and Punycode. You say "UTF-8 is the encoding, so it makes sense to display it" -- but the point is HN doesn't display it. HN displays Unicode characters, not the underlying UTF-8 bytes. Which is the same way you want to display Unicode characters for a domain name, not the underlying Punycode bytes.)
I wonder how does North Korea is faring when compared to its southern rival. Are they experiencing problems on this front too?
> This suggests that hybrids from Homo sapiens and Neanderthal female parents were non-viable; perhaps only male Neanderthals and female Homo sapiens could mate to produce offspring.

That's one possibility, but it could be that they were perfectly viable but the matrilineal lineages just ended at some point. Maybe they were x% less fit or maybe the ended to due pure chance. Like maybe the daughter daughter daughter only had sons and that was the end of that mitochondial dna.

It's my understanding that mt-dna and y-dna are subject to much more random genetic drift, and thats one reason that their genetic material is gradually replaced by more reliable autosomal dna.
I don't disagree with any of that. I'd much prefer some form of nationalized/socialized health system (and would not prefer a "cash only" system, because there will be people who can't afford that even at half the current rates).

It's weird how widespread this notion is, that TSMC has this colossal lead on the rest of the world that no one else can possibly catch up to. Yes, TSMC is ahead at the moment thanks in large part to the massive volume it is getting from cellphone CPUs. But the lead over Samsung and Intel is almost as small as the nanometers that all three companies are dealing with. IBM has gone fabless but still has some of the best chip designers in the world. Etc.

When Intel had the world's leading fabs, driven off massive volume in PC CPUs, I don't remember people being so emphatic about how insurmountable its technological lead over the rest of the world was. Yes, I know the geopolitical issues around TSMC bring it more attention, good and bad. But still.

The Google Gemini Conspiracy Theory
When you are programming, you have to figure out:

1. What quantity you want to calculate, and
2. What the most efficient way to calculate it is.

PGA (once you spend the--alas--not insubstantial overhead to understand it!) is a really good way of doing #1. Its virtually always a good idea to first try out the simplest and easiest to code up implementation anyways.

And what you get from using PGA to do #1 will certainly be good enough for you to prototype out the rest of your program enough to be able to benchmark it and find out where the real bottlenecks are. Happily, in most cases it will also either be the fastest way to calculate it, or close enough to not be the bottleneck.

And if is a bottleneck, it gives you a deep understanding of the problem you are trying to solve--which, IMHO, is a good idea to have before you just start trying to shave off cycles in hopes of getting it fast enough.
There are still different approaches within the same language, and having a broad consensus about which constants and abbreviations are part of the standard library puts more competitive focus on the algorithm instead of the encoding.

> That’s effectively what much of the rest of the wealthy world does via some form of socialized/nationalized system.

While these systems can be more efficient, the rest of the world isn't amazing either. Nationalized systems do much more central planning for healthcare delivery, so they have almost non-existent customer service culture.

You generally have no direct control over who your doctor or when procedures are scheduled. Furthermore, the concept of preventative care is nascent. Yearly physical? Nope. Routine Bloodwork? What is that? You only see the doctor when something is going wrong and you often wait weeks to months. (unless you pay for private health insurance). I literally know of someone with cancer treatment follow up that they needed to hammer the phone lines to get scheduled.

Finally, most international healthcare is effectively subsidized by the US healthcare consumer. Firstly, the majority of global research funding in healthcare comes from the US. Secondly, US consumer (forcibly) pays 5x to 100x what international systems pay for procedures, medicine, technology. As a result, almost every major technological innovation in med device or pharma is either produced in the US or delivered first to the US market by foreign companies.

Nationalized systems do much more central planning for healthcare delivery. This results in a byzantine bureaucratic nightmare where most innovation goes to die. International healthcare systems effectively delegate the implementation risk to the US and wait to see (sometimes decades).

Note: In my experience, the healthcare workers and administrators all are trying to do the right thing and working really hard, but the systems they operate in are generally broken.

Bottomline, there is no free lunch, everything sucks.
Laws like this stem from an attempt to ban the use of flood lights to stun deer and thus make a shot easier. Like much firearms legislation it's still intentioned but leads to absurd scenarios.

> It's all about what the customer pays. In the case of the Space Shuttle the customer also completely paid for the development of the launch system, so it doesn't really make sense to exclude that.

Good point. I agree that from the customer's perspective, the flyaway cost is what matters. That said, wouldn't that also mean that for Starlink launches, the development cost would still have to be amortized across them when they are not for other launches? That doesn't feel right to me; surely the flyaway/incremental cost is still what matters.
