I'm not even an armchair economist but when I read the book many years ago, I could still tell that some of the stories and conclusions were anecdotal at best. It was still a fun read and fun to think about. The best thing about it besides entertainment value was don't take what you read at face value, even if (maybe especially) it's popular.
Exactly. What separation of software and hardware is impossible to achieve by human means.

Perhaps in true far future, some kind of Android will exist to create this ecosystem, but that kind of tech is at least a googol or so years away.
Unfortunately I'm not terribly knowledgeable about the various AI revolutions that've been going on recently but this is the kind of project I'd love to try out doing! Would you ever consider doing a write-up? Or do you have any guides you'd recommend for getting started with this kind of thing?
Awk was one of early use-cases I wanted to make it useful for. It still has "Ryk" mode, but I haven't tested it in years so I'm not sure if it works right now.

Rebol was known for its small set of moving parts and behaviors but with a lot of depth and flexibility with them. I've added some moving parts with left to right code flow, but I still hope it's a limited set that fits well together. I am adding new behaviors very conservatively now, and I will remove some. Thanks for heads up about Perl! ;)
Whatever you may think is wrong with vinyl, limited bandwidth isn't the problem - it's totally possible to get 50Khz onto a record, and there were even quadraphonic recordings made by modulating an extra two channels into these otherwise unused higher frequency ranges.

Dynamic range may be what you mean? It's around 70-80db, which is good enough for most things, certainly when records are new and/or undamaged so surface noise is lower.
Yeah, that mirrors my experience pretty neatly. I worked for a small company that at one point wanted to save the licensing costs and had me install OpenOffice on every machine for a 6 month trial run. No one issue that anyone had was particularly insurmountable * . But it was death by a thousand paper cuts. Every single person had a different part of their personal workflow disrupted, some requiring work arounds, others requiring learning new tools. But at the end of 6 months it was clear this wasn't going to work, it broke too many things in too many unpredictable ways, and made the little outside world compatibility they did need much more difficult.

* There was one insurmountable problem. At the time OpenOffice still had a 65k row limit that Excel had long since moved past. There was a 5 year old bug ticket opened to fix it, but the developers in that thread were still having debates insisting the users were wrong and that 65k ought to be enough for anyone. You should use a real database if you need more data they insisted. Needless to say, the first time a vendor shipped us a 100k spreadsheet that we couldn't open, the writing was on the wall even if no one else had had other issues.

On the rare occasions I hear vinyl being played I'm surprised at how good it sounds. It shouldn't sound good, but it does.

I was reading up on how this worked. It’s a really good idea, and a step in the right direction 100%… cloudflare is flexing a little and this mainly works because so many people are on cloudflare.

It never ceases to amaze me how complicated privacy is.

From cloudflares blog [1]

“ What about the IP address?

While both DNS queries and the TLS SNI extensions can now be protected by on-path attackers, it might still be possible to determine which websites users are visiting by simply looking at the destination IP addresses on the traffic originating from users’ devices. Some of our customers are protected by this to a certain degree thanks to the fact that many Cloudflare domains share the same sets of addresses, but this is not enough and more work is required to protect end users to a larger degree. Stay tuned for more updates from Cloudflare on the subject in the future”

Why I Rejected My Software Engineering Offer at Amazon
Robert Elder give a detailed story about his experience at Amazon as an intern, the management interactions and the culture he felt there
I was talking to nerds in the 90’s and going to Mars seemed like a silly waste of resources to most of us back then. Building a net positive fusion reactor seemed like a similar amount of work with a much larger payoff. I’d still rather send people on a fly by of Jupiter than land on Mars.

Your social circle may have been different, but that says more about them than the 90’s.
That's a fantastic read! Thanks for sharing. What are you working on these days?
It's just gotten farcical. I am not opposed to paying for my entertainment, but I'm not going to pay in perpetuity $15 a month to ten different services when they will happily delete the content I like for a tax writeoff and replace it with reality TV. I haven't even used Amazon Prime streaming since they started forcing ads on us.

It's how I justify running a server 24/7; the increased power costs are lower than what I'd need to pay to have all the major streaming services every month.
Oh yeah good find!

It really seems inspired by Elite though.

Windows 11 sandbox, running atop Windows 11. Binary downloaded from your webpage.

Data being packed was an unzipped copy of linux-master.zip fetched from GitHub unpacked with windows zip, selecting skip for the overlapping case files.
I read through the article. Let me share a small story.
I recently completed course for Global Warming in College. I would say my instructor was a quite good. He gave the vibe more of a person in industry who taught than a teacher who published papers. Naturally in course of Global Warming we had figures about how much the globe is warming. We have already raised average temperature by few degree. Current goal of global climate organization is to limit any further increase to 1.5 C and at max, at most dire 2 C. Changes to climate are already somewhat irreversible. So this figure of 1.5 is very sensitive and important.
Now this is all good but who decides these numbers ? Who is going to take initiative to meet goals ? Who's fault it was to reach these numbers ?

Moral: These are very loaded figures. Enough to make small naive children make protests and the world to notice. The numbers are very diluted based on agenda.
Cancer patients might have increased, seems very plausible. But did the study account population increase or simply number of people reporting ? I don't think so. We all want to make world a better place but take these numbers with a grain of salt.
Yeah I’d say they’re ready for their citizenship!

How hard do you think it is to find engineers who are

- Great at legacy C++ code.

- Great at new C++ code.

- Great at embedded/high performance/distributed code.

- Are experts in Linear Algebra and Calculus

- Are competent at Machine Learning and similar problems.

Now imagine, that after you find ~10-50 competent senior engineers who can each segment and train 1-5 engineers, you also need to hire 10-20 managers, PMs and directors who are smart enough to do more than "copy NVidia's offering from last year", and wise enough to still build a 1:1 compatibility layer.

Apple is likely seeing more traction on their metal API by virtue that it is reasonably well guaranteed to be around in ~5 years, and is common on multiple device platforms that students/devs use or customers deploy.
Thank you for suggesting this podcast. Sounds very interesting. Will check out other episodes as well.
It hasn't. It may have among younger people though, as a result of increasing incomes in poorer countries.
> "freeloading and relying on the U.S. to protect them from everything?"

The US famously has routinely run a billion-dollar deficit in its dues to the UN since the late 1980s through the early 2000s [0][1][2], and then again when Trump suspended paying dues 2016-2020 and owed $2b [3]. In the 1990s, CNN ex-owner Ted Turner even donated part of the dues. US commitment to multilateralism is pretty transactional. (The standoff was not completely resolved by the Helms-Biden Act/"United Nations Reform Act of 1999"), which linked payment of $926 million arrears to a series of reform benchmarks).

Share Secret Messages with Specific Users
I've built a tool that works as follows:

1. Sign in with Twitter.

2. Type out the intended Twitter usernames (as many as you like) along with your secret messages.

3. The tool generates a common link and shares it on Twitter, tagging all the intended users to get notified.

4. When the intended users click on the link, it performs a Twitter authentication check to grant access to the messages.

5. If someone other than the intended users clicks on the link, it displays a message saying 'you are unauthorized to have access to this message.'

Is it Twitter privacy violation?

If not suggest me a practical usecase!

> a personal collection of movies that you painstakingly ripped on your own

I would argue that such a device does indeed represent painstakingly ripping your own movies. After all, it is slow - I think it's safe to assume it takes at least 1:1 to rip a blu ray. And it will take you a long time to watch your collection even once.

There are two difficulties. First, the fact that people might never own, or stop owning the blu-rays they've ripped. This is in part mitigated by the fact that such a device would be expensive, and as such its a luxury item not a piracy item. Second, you'll have the stray ornery hacker who'll want to do something more with the device, and dammit I paid for it so its mine! They'll insist on seeding torrents with it or cloning the hard drives and selling them or something and honestly I don't think this is mitigable.
The premise here assumes living a lavish lifestyle is a good thing that all people want, or should want. I don't agree with that premise.
Inference will continue to shift toward profitability, Google and the rest are going to choke the cost to gain traction but as TPU costs come down and GPU costs scale up and models become more efficient the cost to infer will drastically scale down into profitability.
Bulma CSS is now 1.0.0
That is a great way of doing things. I did this when I was younger and found tons of movies I would’ve never run into on a streaming website - especially Hong Kong and Japanese movies from the 90s
Unless you are in the business of making and selling media, I don’t see how you could claim that. The cost structures of utilities as well as demand curves seem like they would so different that the comparison is nonsensical.

Instead of telling other people how to run their business, perhaps people should be putting their money where their mouth is and create the media and try selling it by the minute, and see how successful they are.
There aren't enough people in the top 10% (by income) to repeal this.
MySQL Procedure and Curl
sure, that's one alternative opinion. i am one of the biggest fda-haters you'll find but, in a vacuum, this call isn't really wrong. it can theoretically be used medically - but i'd be hard-pressed to think of why a doctor would use it now over other options. perhaps one can give some examples of cases where it was truly the only option.
Of course the study is looking at cases per N people. What a silly question, let alone to assume they didn't. HN is getting worse every day.

According to Dave Bradley, one of the creators of the IBM PC, "We chose the 8088 [over the 8086] because of its 8-bit data bus. The smaller bus saved money in the areas of RAM, ROM, and logic for the simple system."

Another thing is that even if almost nobody bought the minimal RAM configuration, having a low-cost configuration can be very important from a marketing standpoint. (By the way, it's kind of amazing that the base RAM for an IBM PC was just 16 kilobytes, and now 16 gigabytes is a base RAM configuration.)

Show HN: Jumprun – AI-powered research as interactive canvases
Hey HN! We're super excited to share our labor of love, Jumprun, which we've just opened up to everyone to try for free.

Jumprun is an AI-powered research tool that whips up stunning, interactive canvases. It can dive into websites, YouTube, X, and more. You can keep your canvases fresh with scheduled daily updates, and share them with the world.

Check out some cool canvases we've whipped up:

- Gleam language news: https://jumprun.ai/share/canvas/01HSM7G0TBYTJWDYRFET16DFJQ
- Cybertruck reviews: https://jumprun.ai/share/canvas/01HSKTGQEGB58Y1BABY0KRRAQ0
- Apple Vision Pro reviews: https://jumprun.ai/share/canvas/01HNXB2K3GM7KPRP45Y2CVVJSC
- Things to do in San Francisco: https://jumprun.ai/share/canvas/01HSPRS3YXXJ9TV90P18MBZRPS

Jumprun was in closed beta for a bit because GPT4-Turbo was burning a hole in our pockets. But when Anthropic dropped Claude3 Haiku and Sonnet, we saw an opportunity to use them to slash costs and get Jumprun out to all of you. We're now rocking Haiku for research and Sonnet for the final "analysis," and the results are pretty great. We even think they might be better than GPT4-Turbo!

If you've got any technical questions, fire away! We're currently trying to nail down product-market fit and figure out where to focus re: features and use cases. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks a ton!

> Apples iPhone is not a monopoly like Windows was a monopoly

Very true. It's more like if Windows, Intel, and IBM were the same company. And you couldn't buy compatible hardware from anyone else. And you couldn't buy their hardware without their bundled OS, apps and browser. And they didn't just bundle their preferred OS, apps, and browser, but prevented you from changing or removing them. And furthermore, would not let you install any other software except what they approved of. And, of course, would not approve anything that competed with their own products or that they just randomly didn't like. Oh, and if it broke, you had to buy the parts only from them and use their repair service. And if 3rd party repair is legislatively mandated, they just made compliance as worthless as legally (or not) possible, and just intentionally made repairs just about impossible anyhow.

And we all thought bill gates and the halloween memos, etc. were peak "evil".
Well that's true. Probably there are users that use it in violation of the spec, relying on that it would not harm.

Was it 1.1.1.1 that had quite some problems in the beginning of their operation or some similar one? I vaguely remember reading a blog post at the time.
Please report back if it is working for you. I have the same problem.

> If there's two things the universe teaches us, it's that (1) our little corner is cosmologically not very special, and (2) extremely terrible and instantly fatal disasters are not rare on long enough timescales — rogue planets, asteroid impacts, gamma ray bursts, and so on.

While I agree with the second point, I don’t agree with the first one completely right. Our little corner is very special in one way, which has resulted in life arising and existing for billions of years. Leave aside whether the human species will last or not. It’s still special considering the numerous factors that have enabled and protected the possibility of life (I’m not saying this from a divine or religious perspective).
That's nonsense. Per person efficiency is critical. China is more efficient than the U.S. in co2, we should learn from that.

We need efficiency and a total reduction.
The course taught them just how much they should be sceptical of numbers
> Breast cancer is generally thought to be caused by excessively high estrogen levels.

If by "excessively high", you mean the normal range for pre-menopausal adult women, then yes. Otherwise, citation needed. Afaik, breast cancer is thought to be caused primarily by having breast tissue, and secondarily by the response of breast tissue to normal levels of estrogen. (People with higher estrogen levels than average tend to have more breast tissue, but that's more because they tend to have breasts than because of any impact estrogen has on the rest of the body – unlike people with lower estrogen levels than average, who tend to be men.)

And yes, estrogen blockers / SERMs are a good treatment for some breast cancers, but they don't eliminate breast cancer risk. Even cis men who have relatively low estrogen levels and hardly any breast tissue can get breast cancer.
This specific paper pointed out breast cancer in women as one of the cancer types that has seen the highest increase in cases.
Genuine questions. What are your use cases? What do you do? How much experience?

My personal experience shows CUDA to in fact be a very deep moat. In ~12 years CUDA and ~6 ROCm (since Vega) I’ve never met a professional who says otherwise, including those at top500.org AMD sites.

From what I’ve seen online this take really seems to come from some kind of Linux desktop Nvidia grudge/bad experience or just good ‘ol gaming/desktop team red vs green vs blue nonsense.

Many things can be said about Nvidia and all kinds of things can be debated but suggesting that Nvidia has > 90% market share simply and solely because people drink Nvidia kool-aid is a wild take.

If your claim is as it appears - "this study may not have adjusted for population growth" - you could just click the link and check, rather than spread doubt and uncertainty.

As it stands, the population has not grown 80% in the timespan given so even if they didn't control for population - which would be the most elementary mistake ever and no one would get published having made it - it still doesn't account for the effect size.

Reflexive scepticism, without any effort to verify, isn't any more useful than reflexive belief.
Seeing as the comment you're replying to is now a 404, and this note is on the home page you link to...

The persons insurance, presumably.

The issue seems to be that the doctor didn’t even check the x-ray, otherwise they would have commented on an unmentioned fused vertebrae. I’m not sure how you didn’t gather that from the OP.
Shhh. Don't break the Microsoft/Windows bashing sentiment, they really need to feel superior with their Apple ePeen.
But yes, if you look at the market, 2K in a PC laptop will usually get something better than what Apple would like to sell you.
You'll get worse battery life but generally better power for most workloads, and if you use it lightly like all those MacBook fanboys seems to do it won't be nearly as big of a difference they like to claim.

But hey gotta justify the extortionate price somehow...

> …someone who is slow and consist will be much more prolific throughout the course of a lifetime, than someone who is fast, but inconsistent.

In this parable¹, the teacher divided a ceramics class into two groups. One was graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, and the other solely on its quality. The result was that the "quantity" group also created higher-quality work.

King is a "quantity" guy, which means that the quality of his work is inconsistent, but he releases a lot of high-quality work.

GRRM is a "quality" guy, which means he may not finish the A Song of Ice and Fire series before he dies.

What kind of toxin is in toys nowadays?
The keyword is a diet high in red meat. As it turns out, too much (or too little) of anything can kill you.

As an example: Drinking too much dihydrogen monoxide can kill you.
You could also have shorter cycles times by just doing it and assuming it'll be fine. Acorn's Master Turbo uses 4864-2 DRAMs, which have a 150 ns access time/270 ns cycle time, for, I think, a max throughput of 1e9/270=3,703,703 bytes/sec - but the Master Turbo's 65c02 CPU runs at 4 MHz, and therefore requires 4,000,000 bytes/sec. And, somehow, it works...

The context in Rye nothing special, but I'm excited about how all it can be used ( and the context details could change a little too in future).

Context is just a namespace of "word: value"-s and an optional link to a parent context. When a word is being searched it looks in the current context and if it's not found it goes up to parent, etc.

One interesting things about contexts are what I called "isolates", a context that is isolated from anything else, but can hold a set of functions specialized for a certain task. Or you can construct and string together custom contexts to create a desired environment for certain code.

When you have a context, you can evaluate code in context, you can call functions in context from outside, you can create functions that are evaluated is a specified context or with a specified parent context, etc ...

You can also move through contexts and list them in Rye console like you would through directories.

I don't know if I answered your question well ... I'm maybe better at showing than explaining. I'm preparing an asciinema demo called "contextplay".
The podcast was good for awhile, but I think they mined all the novel ideas and just turned into a stop on the book promotion tour so many authors take.
