Not sure how the govt plans to retain talent when said talent can go to the US and get easily paid double or triple the salary.
I was quite surprised how authoritarian American/Canadian business environments were and subconsciously/covertly racist without saying it outright.

I still vividly remember when I was in my 20s, an American executive from a fortune 500 company forgetting to unmute himself and accidentally unmasking himself and the attitude of those around him.

They were at the forefront of "woke" and "diversity". This is when I learned it was just another slogan like "human rights" to make the citizens feel good about themselves.

At work, we have kubernetes and pm2 running on a pet server outside of kubernetes. I cannot wait to get rid of pm2 and the pet server. For smaller projects, I'd rather just work directly with systemd or better yet, use the podman-systemd integrations.

There are two major original Xbox emulators - cxbx/cxbx-reloaded, which originally tried to do both LLE and HLE but these days does exclusively high-level emulation like you are describing, and xemu (this one), which does mostly low-level emulation.

So no, in this case Xemu runs the original Xbox kernel. This is why it's more compatible and generally much more robust than cxbx in terms of game support.

There are a lot of challenges with doing HLE for Xbox. While there is a kernel, its HAL is very low-level. Games are statically linked against the entire stack of DLLs that you'd usually find in Windows (the Xbox SDK), and depending on when they were released, can have one of about a gazillion versions of the Xbox SDK in them. So doing HLE is a matter of finding and hooking an enormous number of SDK functions, but also keeping up with the plethora of minor changes which were made constantly through the life of the console. Emulating the kernel doesn't get you very far, because it still provides low-level interfaces to (for example) manipulating GPU state, so you end up having to implement the GPU hardware in LLE anyway.

It only looks like a safe investment until you realize that you're going to lose 20% off the top at the least. RMB is already crashed. And they failed to get enough wealth into the middle class to be able to support a consumer economy. Pretty much what killed their communist state by the 1960's. Capitalism doesn't work if you run it like feudalism.
but unlike the kamikaze-americana free market attitude on display by characters competing for attention on social media, this state ownership ensures that ultimately it benefits the state's interest not the executives.

This is the invisible boundaries that map the most resilient economies. Even Canada does this to a large degree but stood no chance against American Greed.

The fundamental point isn't really a new argument and Chomsky pointed out the problems with it decades ago: It doesn't explain why certain cognitive capacities work one way and not another. For example why is language hierarchical and not linear [1]?

[1] The authors (sort of) dispute that language is hierarchical but you can make the same point about many cognitive faculties: Among the theoretically possible manifestations of a given cognitive capacity why is this the specific one that exists and how does it work?
This beligerance towards the supreme court and in particukar MR. Moraes is old news. For the most part, it comes from the radical right.

This is a myth that is incorrect. The original Xbox's BIOS bares little to no resemblance to Windows 2000 (its closest contemporary) and runs from a 1MB flash chip at most. Games run Bare Metal on the system

You have to do so many things just to use more than a single CPU core. There are other language platforms and runtimes where using up the entire available CPU cores is the default option, and taking advantage of multiple cores within the app is easy by design.

I can see why people like pm2, similarly to why I can see why people like Nodejs. But I think pm2 is half-baked, and Nodejs's greatest design feature (single-threaded async execution) is flawed by design.
Having read the article it's really not clear this it supports that analysis, "As expected, environmentally relevant PFAS levels did not affect survival."

In particular, although the high levels of exposure (of one or more PFOS/PFOA) showed effects, there was reverse correlation at low levels. Of course this is in Zebra fish so I'd hesitate to guess the relevance for mammal or human populations. It does seem to most directly affect lipid metabolism including steroids, and is multi-generational.

I'd be most worried where the chemical (waste) byproducts were used as fire suppressants rather than the small quantities found elsewhere. Those concentrations (hundreds of ppt) are much more worrying. People who sprayed their clothes, couches, tires with scotchguard were probably also already exposed to 100s of times higher lifetime doses than they will ever see through environmental sources at <10ppt (still above proposed limits).

I've inherited several VAIO models over the time from my father who liked them very well.

There was always something annoyingly non standard about them and it showed on Linux. One needed a daemon to make its fans shut up, vaiofand. One had an Optimus-like setup but not really Optimus which fortunately Bumblebee handled not too badly, and a "stamina - speed" button that didn't work AFAIK.

Opening one of those laptops and finding out what was where was a mess.

They worked well enough though. Except for their fans, which were annoyingly loud and had a high-pitched sound, and where pretty much always spinning on Windows, which made my father's room loud.

Maybe it's not a bad thing they stopped making laptops. HP, Dell and Lenovo do much better laptops I think. I have the feeling Vaios were expensive laptops with caveats.

Now, I recently sold a Vaio laptop from 2004. Apparently vaiofand might not be needed anymore on it. Except for the battery it was still working very well and had a really good screen for the time. 1400x900 glossy 17 inch. It was a 4kg beast.

These laptops lasted, at least.
Never ever saw such product in France, though.
Ask HN: What important resources can't be found on the internet?
Yeah, that should be possible! Though, for audio processing, the performance will probably be terrible (because it's all emulated).
Don't be too pessimistic regarding the accuracy of non-invasive screening technique, before you know it you will probably be using one of the solutions. This high accuracy digital diagnostic and biomarker problems are way much easier than the level 5 autonomous driving and AGI, and please don't let other people to tell you otherwise. Personally I think they (company/govt agency/research labs) should hire more reseachers and PhD in this field of bio medical engineering to accelerate the efforts for the benefit of humankind. Not surprisingly the medical doctors associations (I am looking at you American Heart Association - AHA) will be up in arms against automated diagnostics screening eventhough you have 99% accuracy or better because of their biased perceptions due to their job insecurities.
My issue with your argument is in what world is a net worth of $20 million not "ultra rich." The median net worth of an individual near retirement age is $400,000. Under 35 it's a tenth of that.

I don't really have an opinion about statutory fines for executives in situations like this, but the idea that reducing someone's net worth to a measly 50x that of what most people have is somehow punitive is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.
Thank you, I was so confused. Why in the world would they use “blue = more cloud coverage, white/gray = less”?
Since 2008 you can found a "UG" ("Mini GmbH") that doesn't require that much upfront capital. It can be foundet with 1 Euro. The catch is that you need use 25% of your yearly revenue until you reached the 25k of a proper GmbH.

Don't let these people fixated on Doherty Thresholds give you flack you have delivered on spec let the pedantic etymologists eschew obfuscation around how to define brutalism - you didnt invent the word but could quote from Cameron [1] "This project recalls the visual aesthetics from an era when it was expected that personal spaces would always be under construction."

By the way, aesthetics are a red herring -- the real brutality here is seeing HN as a naked text headline feed with no signal given on votes, comments, source, even date !!! My bet is it unnerves people who are used to clicking on a fuzzy measure of these things alone so deciding without them is too far out of a comfort zone. It provokes a visceral dread and gets taken out on response times, api calls, and vocabulary.

The Switch is not a retro console under any meaningful definition of that word.
The Xbox hardware was also quite advanced for its release date (2001). Many PCs at the time still had 100MHz FSB but the Xbox ran at 133MHz. The Xbox also had DDR RAM, not much of it (64MB), but DDR wouldn't be commonplace until the Pentium 4 and Athlon XP platforms a couple years later. Most PCs were still running regular single-channel SDRAM.

I've built a near-period correct PC with a later and faster CPU (Tualatin at 1.0GHz vs Xbox's Coppermine at 700MHz), more RAM (512MB), faster GPU (GF4 Ti4400), but it still can't achieve the raw memory and GPU bandwidth the Xbox had.
I think a lot of people would disagree that they make code more readable. These are all ways of removing the names of intermediate results. Some names are noise, but more often, they’re useful documentation.

You can make code much shorter by removing all the application-specific names and only using very abstract, domain-independent names or symbols. The result can be seen in complicated regular expressions, array languages, bash scripts, and so on. In the wrong hands, these are all notoriously unreadable.

But you can also go to the other extreme and give every little thing a very long name, and that’s less readable in its own way. Bob Nystrom wrote a nice article about how to combat that tendency. [1]

Naming things is an art. In functional languages, let expressions are convenient and useful. When you feel like you don’t want to define another function, sometimes it’s better to resist that tendency and think about a better name.

There's no reason for any specific tokenisation, but the Transformer always has some tokenisation.

Tokens are allowed to be blocks of pixels, for example. No reason we couldn't have a token be a specific muscle or sensory nerve.

What I'm saying is that Large Language Models don't have a body, so no nerves and muscles to have to be represented within them; conversely, organic life does have those things and thus organic brains must spend some of their complexity on those things.

This means they have the possibility to equal us for language even with no capacity for vision, walking, tying shoelaces, or playing catch.

I don't think that's a reasonable claim.

I think that the American people have benefited tremendously from the flawed investment that the government has made in the auto industry over it's entire existence more than the Chinese people have benefited from the Chinese investment in their auto industry.

The American auto industry plays a huge role in the power that America wields around the world today, and is the corner stone of the American economy as it exists now.
It's not as bad for integer square root; you only need to store N^0.5 entries in a greater/lesser-than lookup table: N^2 for all the answers N. Feasible for 16-bit integers, maybe for 32-bit, not for 64-bit.
Air conditioning wasn't invented until 1902, and didn't start seeing wide deployment in the US until the 1960s[1].

I'll leave the comparison to the historical population of the states you mentioned as an exercise for the reader. I'll just say that I don't think you can convincingly argue that AC is required for human habitation in those places.

Have you traveled much outside the US? There's plenty of places (e.g. in Africa and the middle-East) that are much hotter than that, and where AC is a rare luxury.

If you don't have AC there's plenty of places in the US where you wouldn't really need heating either, or perhaps only a small space heater.

Once you're at that point you'd drop all the fixed cost of having a heat pump setup. So no ducting etc. Don't take my word for it, read the article we're discussing here.

But yes, if you've already paid for the fixed cost of installing all of the infrastructure required to have AC throughout your house the marginal cost of adding just the cooling component itself is trivial.

But that's a really strange point to make, why would anyone want that if we're discussing dropping AC (for cost comparison purposes)?

If you only want heating then running water-heated radiators on a closed loop is much cheaper. That's what we do in the parts of Europe that only really need heating, and not cooling.

That or electric radiators, as is ubiquitous e.g. in Norway. The water-based systems are better if you're heating them with gas.

Having said all that I wouldn't be keen to buy a house in the states you mentioned without AC, I also wouldn't like to buy a house where I don't have easy access to electric sockets etc.

All I'm saying is that you need to factor those shifting preferences into the equation when asking why something's expensive.

You used the word in the sense it commonly used, which is something like "often-repeated" or, more frequently, "shared a lot on social media."

Multi-LLM AI Gateway to run, secure, and govern AI traffic
Kong Gateway has now AI integrated with the gateway, which apparently allows us to use AI in the context of our applications and use it to build them, make secure applications and allow the implementation of several observability patterns to monitor our applications. I wonder how this works and how can this allows us to make applications better. It also offer the promise of implementing stuff using no single line of code. This could be unattractive for developers, but it may offer integration possibilities that, on the other hand may actually leverage the work of software developers in order to focus on the actual code and no so much in things like AI, securtity and observability. The multi large language models integrated with Kong API gateway may actually make the life of programmers much easier. I will investigate this and show my results in nexts posts.
I predict that this will eventually rollout nationwide. Most people (outside of the HN bubble) will give up some privacy and rights for safety and security including those in blue states.
