I really enjoyed my chemical kinetics, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics classes in undergrad chem. Learning that temperature as measured was an emergent property, and that entropy increases with higher temperature due to the larger number of microstates / ensembles, was pretty fucking kewl! :) ;p haha

This is their job. This is an attack.

"The ease of automatic generation of accounts and repos on GitHub and alike, using comfortable APIs and soft rate limits that are easy to bypass, combined with the huge number of repos to hide among, make it a perfect target for covertly infecting the software supply chain.
This campaign, along with dependency confusion campaigns plaguing package registries and generally malicious code being spread through source control managers, demonstrates how fragile software supply chain security is, despite the abundance of tools and available security mechanisms."
Response time matters, but man, there's just such toxicity abound with people who act like speed is all that matters, and act all high and mighty that things are so bad.

These modern systems do soo much helpful stuff. The responsiveness out of the box is pretty not bad if not stellar, and then these plugins really layer in whole worlds of help. Like in so many places, this complexity & nuance can just get totally eaten to pieces by the hungry wolves happy to shred anything showing any signs of being insufficiently super l33t for their superb sensibility.
Glass is also very heavy, which means that transporting glass-packaged goods requires much more energy than transporting e.g. plastic bottles.

Yes. I think they can get the node out with a little bit of delay. But I don't think they'll be very profitable for a while.

However, they do have good timing because the world is about to enter a period where chip designers will be desperate to get new AI chips manufactured.

There is only one cutting edge fab which is TSMC. Chip designers want a second supplier desperately to create some competition.

I think 20A/18A will only be used by products customer can buy in mid-2025 - not late 2024 like they said.

You can see here that Intel has already delayed everything by 1-2 quarters from their 2022 roadmap:

The universe of good - or even seemingly good - ideas may or may not be infinite, but it probably thins out as you get further away from the centre. It's unsurprising that the field would coalesce around certain demonstrably great ideas, and that revolutionary game-changers would start becoming harder and harder to find.

FWIW, even in your list you see lots of variations on themes rather that unique ideas/models. Scheme and Lisp are closely linked. Pascal and Ada and Fortran are all conceptually similar, and there's a good amount of cross-pollination between them and Beta and Eiffel and C++. Self is an evolution of Smalltalk. And so on.
I'm interested in using pgs.sh or prose.sh to host a service status page. What datacenters do you use?
When dealing with SQL, these higher level languages (which are converted to sql, such as FetchXML and Pql) are traditionally quite limited by what use cases they are suitable for. They are not suitable for complex joins and grouping particularly across large tables and resultsets for example. Not particularly suitable for joining remote data sources particularly of large result sets.

They are suitable for Reads on tables that are tuned specifically for the desired use cases. The amount of optimization required in the conversion should be limited intrinsicly by this assumption and the higher level language should be strict enough that an optimization related to deciding A/B SQL Approach in the conversion to SQL is not required (because results will be unpredictable due to table sizes etc)
Virgin Orbit anyone?
I hate it that so many programming languages lie to users.

> From your [1] it looks like the original dev(s?) left because their goal was accomplished?

Hiker explicitly says that his reason for leaving isn't because his goal was accomplished:

> > To be completely honest, the main reason for my departure was not that my goal of online races was reached. It is a matter or principle and professionalism. From my point of view a big change has gone through the development team, when new members were added and older members left. Let’s just say that the newer team members preferred to pursue a faster-paced development style with fewer reviews, less documentation, less oversight and a reduced need for consensus, and that our differences in approach could not be reconciled.

This was further discussed on Reddit:

https://old.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/bpb44y/supert...

The link submitter above themselves had done a GSoC with the original team, and on the situation and the bit quoted above, all he had to say was ":/".

Again, explicitly not what happened.

> […] I'm not sure it's really a major sticking point if the new leader decided to be conservative about things...

It sounds to me like you are confused because you expect a technical solution to prevent social problems. Obviously, that doesn't really work, bullies still exist, and even if you fork it's still seen as a big, stressful, hostile action that most conflict-averse people would prefer to avoid doing.

From what I've seen, the new devs didn't decide to be uniformly conservative about things— They still posted on the forums with big plans now and then— But it's more that they compulsively let only their own contributions and drastic changes through.
In NZ - ditto growing up had the milk delivery service. Now it was a long distance memory until we moved to a smaller town/city. To our surprise one of the independent milk companies had a delivery service and up until a few months ago there was a glass bottle based delivery service of proper milk (the kind with thick fat/cream on the top..). Absolutely magic.

Alas cost of living took hold and they stopped the service, so sadly off to the store for the milk now. They didn't even put up an option of 'we can't afford to keep this going, so how much would you pay extra for it'

I bet they would have been surprised what people would illogically pay to have their milk and eggs delivered...
> are still partially outsourced to TSMC

Isn’t that just their GPUs?
Also higher speeds. HDMI 2.1 has a bandwidth of 48 Gbit/s. But because of driver shenanigans in the linked article, us pesky computer users are stuck with HDMI 2.0, which has a bandwidth of 18 Gbit/s.

The latest version of DisplayPort has a bandwidth of 80 Gbit/s, and you get drivers on day 1.
The difference is that glass bottles were consigned and re-used. Also energy use does not tell the whole story and one should consider the impact of plastic that is not recycled or worse, left adrift in the sea or in our rivers.

You make a good point and it can be interesting to know how many use of a bottle are required until it becomes more energy-efficient compared to disposable plastic, etc.

The shift to the all plastic packaging paradigm was made when companies found out that they could simply let the consumers deal with the packaging once the product was consumed instead of having to get it back from their hands and process it. Hence the modern plastic dystopia.
Having a weird design language expressly for immediate-effect entities is absurd & dumb. There's other context we should be using to set expectations, rather than creating parallel systems that do the same thing but through gentle skeuomorphisms imply something. Currently we have checkboxes and checkboxes alone as distinct, but it feels like this line of logic should be extended further if this is the implication.

I think it's still 1 in 100,000 in any broad sense of people, not just Apple-fans on HN. Especially not folks who are already reading the thread.

Why do you care? Are you designing a standard cell library for it?

Seriously. I don’t understand why so many people care that the “nm” number is a marketing term. The chip manufacturing processes are now often improving in ways that measuring the minimum pitch doesn’t really capture. So they bump down the number whenever it improves in some other way. It’s that simple.

I have designed a standard cell library. I don’t care what number they use in marketing. If you actually want to know the performance/characteristics/dimensions of the process there are so many other numbers you need to know and you’d refer to the actual documentation.

As an end user customers, all I need to know is that “3nm” is slightly better in performance/density/power than “4nm”, and the label they assign achieves that goal.

Interesting idea, but it just looks like a 1-bit image, and it feels limited (replacing a pixel with a checkbox doesn't bring much in the examples).

It reminds me of the demo "Tides" (in the sense of demoscene) made out of sliders. The concept is well executed and synced with music:

Threat Intelligence Is Not Intellectual Property (2015)
Drax seems like a dinosaur which we should be doing without. It's situated where it is because of the easy access to the huge coal fields that fired it previously. Now the wood it burns is imported from overseas. Surely this is not sustainable or environmentally friendly?
Conventional jet engines run at RPMs in excess of 20000rpm. To get this same speeds for the same mass flown rates of say a J79 (F4-Phantom) you'd be looking at some massive electric motors. Conventional jet engines would be using electric motors if they were light enough already.

There is a reason Rolls-Royce UltraFan uses a speed reducing gearbox for it's fan blades and not an electric motor.

More to the point above, at hypersonic speeds, using a conventional compressor is sort or useless unless you can keep your air cool.
Using quotation marks as a way of summarizing what someone might say but didn't literally say is a fairly common practice. I think the quotation is a fairly accurate depiction of the sentiment in the comment it responds to, so I don't see any issue with it.
The glass bottles of Heinz are available right next to the plastic ones. So in the case of ketchup at least I think people choose the plastic ones.
> Okay, sure, you have to bend to C to some degree, but that's true of every language that wants to integrate with C.

Most of the languages I'm aware of integrate with the C runtime much more naturally than go is capable of. Go has its own type of stack, which means it's a pain in the ass to embed into the C runtime and it's a pain in the ass to embed the C runtime into it.

Ok, I'll bite. Says who?

From the photos I have seen, the blocks look hand cut, not laser cut. I understand the blocks were cut with copper chisels and that archeologists found copper chisels in the quarries.

It is entirely believable that hundreds of men using ramps, ropes, grease and rollers could move these large blocks.

"Moore said. The US Central Command has also tried to run an AI recommendation engine to see if it could suggest the best weapons to use in operations and create attack plans. The technology, however, "frequently fell short.""

Are they using LLM for this as well? Then of coruse it's going to be hard. I don't understand why many working with AI refuses to use an AI that's good for this. CSP solvers! There are some papers about using them for drone making flight paths.
It seems though like many of the throwaway plastic containers I can find here like shampoo, water bottles, containers for sauces - NOT the Heinz ketchup bottle in my fridge though (which does say the body is recyclable but the cap is not) mention some percent of recycled plastic contents, from 90% to 20% in the items around me.

So maybe it's more expensive but there seems to be some kind of incentive for these companies, even if it's just marketing.
It wasn’t sold to neither Russia or Belarus, and the rest are countries that we sell weapons too all the time.

And I find it laughable that you out Hungary as a dictatorship it’s an EU member and a NATO member.
Put wings on it and go up sideways. It solves the thrust/weight issue the same way a hill climber does: instead of going directly up they zig zag.

You need the lateral velocity anyway, for orbit.
TSMC now labels their process e.g. “N3”. So there has been a shift away from nm in some contexts.

But it really doesn’t matter. There’s not a single physical number you can extract from the process that accurately describes its performance. So just continuing to use “nm” and assigning some number that feels right is actually a reasonable approach.
> it's incredibly obvious that the US and NATO take incredible steps to minimize civilian casualties

And to substantiate that, look at the ratio of military to civilian deaths. In modern warfare, America’s numbers are incredibly low. Our problem isn’t that we fight brutally, but that we get pulled into fights a lot.

German waste processing is however known for simply dumping things in Eastern Europe. In terms of actual processing I think only the Netherlands breaches 50%. I don't like the 9 trash streams though.
Also family of four: we fill a 120l garbage bin per week, to the brim, and a 120l compost bin every two weeks (this one maybe is not full, but it stinks by that time) and a ton of "recyclables" (cardboard, paper, metals, plastics).
Meh. Still plastic, it just piggybacks on the semi big lie of "recycling plastics works!"

I guess they are trying. But still more of a "shuffling deck chairs as the Titanic sinks" than actually addressing a problem
Yes, processes that are bad for the environment is cheaper. I find that a failing of the capitalist system, not the recycling process. If externalities were properly priced, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

There's often a few middle men with better websites but if you have a more direct option see if you can. The milk we get has a big creamy layer on the top, and tbh it's quite handy just getting a regular delivery of something we have commonly. We often add in some eggs.

It's more than the supermarket prices but those are insanely low for the product. I understand many feel the pinch more but if you can, skipping the supermarket can mean more to the actual producers.
That would be an argument if we weren’t selling weapons to those countries all the fucking time.
> such toxicity abound with people who act like speed is all that matters

Maybe it is a point of obsession to some.

But I've experienced that sensitivity to latency is very subjective.

Maybe there's an age component as well, with younger people being more sensitive.

When I use other people's computers and they have not optimized the latency (e.g. running a sluggish Windows with lots of background processes stealing the CPU, Alt+Tab taking several hundred milliseconds, etc.) I get angry, and I don't understand how anyone can live with a computer that is orders of magnitude slower than your own reactiveness.
Thanks. Makes sense, I think you're right.

America is far from the only reason for the War is Gaza. It’s a major contributor to Israel’s war machine, but it’s also one to Palestinian aid.
