This is probably one reason why Intel is moving towards providing foundry services. The barrier to entry for doing chip manufacturing is higher than for designing chips now. It’s still an open question if Intel can compete with TSMC and Samsung though.
One of the things I really like about the "hello, world" example in K&R is it's used as a template to show the reader what a complete, working (if bare minimum) C program looks like. All the relevant parts are labeled including the #include preprocessor directive, function definition, function call (to printf), etc. There are a few paragraphs explaining these parts in greater detail. Finally some explanation is provided about how one might compile and run this program, using Unix as an example (the authors are pretty biased toward that system).

This article is very much in that same friendly, explanatory spirit, although obviously it goes into greater depth and uses a modern system.
I'm Bulgarian, we don't send cheap workers to EU. We have right to live and work in EU under the same conditions as everyone else in EU and a lot of Bulgarians happens to find employment in some EU countries under better conditions that they can find in Bulgaria and they go work there.

There's no an governmental institution in Bulgaria that collects Bulgarians from the streets and sending them to other countries to work work cheap, like they do with doctors in Cuba or workers in DPRK.

You find a job, get a plane ticket, go there and work, get paid like everyone else. That doesn't make you a cheap Bulgarian labor. They like to call it like that because the talent pool increases and they want to imagine that employers are hiring Bulgarian butchers that can't cut meat or Bulgarian developers that can't code just because its cheap. That's not the case, it's a free market.
Better question to ask: Are current EV companies even properly recycling the batteries?

The lithium itself is recyclable. However what’s the process for it? Is it so labor intensive that it makes recycling not worth it?

Remember: we were sold on the infinite recyclability of plastics. Yet look how that’s turned out. Industry did their own studies (in the 70s…), found recycling to not be cost effective (sorting issue, different types of plastic not recyclable, limited lifetime of plastic such that it could only be recycled a couple of times before becoming useless). Yet these companies still pushed this junk on us and we continue to live with those repercussions today.

Also battery packs are often packed with copious amounts of glue/adhesive and other items that don’t appear to be recyclable. Does that make the recycling process more difficult? As a battery pack in general, what can be recovered? What goes to the landfill?

I blame Boris's buses. At one point, Boris Johnson, apropos of nothing, claimed that he made models of buses to relax. This very likely _was_ an attempt to distract from/mess up search engines for the embarrassing Brexit bus. This somehow metastasized into "all weird embarrassing things that Boris does are actually a masterplan to distract from something else", and, presumably on the theory that all oafish politicians with weird hair are pretty much the same, transferred to Trump.

In this particular case, the revelations in the deposition aren't all _that_ damaging; they just make Musk look stupid, irresponsible, and confused. So doing other embarrassing stuff to distract from them feels counterproductive.

What you’re describing is sort of how sprites used to work. They aren’t used as much anymore.

Basically, a bunch of small images would be combined into a single image (like a grid), and then that single image would be loaded and would use background-size and background-position to display the image in a background-image. One request for a large number of small images. This isn’t used as much now that SVGs are so widely supported and can be themselves inlined.
Those specific numbers were about a plug-in hybrid. So with gas power.
> It's because we're dealing with an extreme example in which a program's safety depends on the resolution of an open problem.

It really isn't. The second example is what a reasonable C programmer would produce if you asked them to collect statistics about the chromatic number of random planar graphs. It also isn't based on any open problem. It's overall a very reasonable C program and a small one at that. It's safety also "depends on the semantics of C and how they've been used in a function", specifically on the fact that accessing an array is safe if and only if the index is in bounds. Out of bounds accesses to memory are probably the most common critical vulnerability in C programs, so it is essential that Xr0 prevents them.

I would love to see how you would write this reasonable program in a way that leads to "denouement".

> Programs that might be unsafe should not be verifiable.

Funnily enough, that's exactly what you criticize Rust for. It's not at all clear that writing programs with "denouement" is any less limiting than Rust. In fact, Frama-C (where you also try to write your code in such a way that the annotations become simpler) feels more limiting than Rust.

Wow. This looks really bad and ideologically driven behavior from FDO member. As usual, the likely scenario is RedHat are unaware and the person who executed the ban is simply abusing their position of power.

This, unfortunately, is an extremely common occurrence throughout many dev communities today. Sadly, companies still have not learned the kind of damage it does to them and how inappropriate this kind of abuse is. Still someone should let RedHat representatives know that the account rights are being misused.

Perhaps creating a list is in order, so we know who to never give any rights to manage the community or participate across multiple projects?

Something I've never understood about text embeddings is how they work with multi-topic documents.

I mean, I can imagine text embeddings in a 2D plane. Documents about lions and documents about tigers are close together, as they're both big cats. Documents about bears are relatively further away, forming a triangle with two long sides and one short side.

But wouldn't a single document about lions, tiger and bears end up at the middle of the triangle? And wouldn't that mean that when a user searches for lions, the document about tigers is closer than the document about lions, tigers and bears?

What I think is shocking is that 99% of the software engineering world these days would have zero ability to comprehend this explanation. In my opinion, you could not be a real programmer without the ability to understand what your program is under the hood. You might be able to get away with it, but you're just faking it.

And yet, 99% of the people I've ever seen in the industry have no idea how any of the code they write works.

I used to ask a simple interview question, I wanted to see if potential hires could explain what a pointer or memory was. Few ever could.

Provide services on top of the protocol? Adjacent to it? Niceties that don't break interoperability of data? Ads that are relevant to the core group using your version of the site for the protocol? I'm sure business people would find many ways to monetise just like they have monetised an open protocol called "web".

> What does "discrete logic" mean in this case?

74xx series ICs (eg. 74ACT family in case of the cpu, if I read correctly).

More generally, it may refer to "basic logic elements whose function is easily inspected".

> Why would this prevent interrupts?

Not at all - in theory.

In practice, interrupt support tends to complicate cpu designs. Complicate = more logic = more ICs. So builder decided against it & chose not to implement interrupts on the cpu.
XFCE's goal is also implement a stable, efficient, and versatile DE that adheres to standard desktop conventions, rather than to import all of the limitations and encumbrances of mobile UIs onto the desktop in the mistaken belief that desktop computing is "dead".

Some quotes from the document:

>Measured performance shows a vast improvement over the CAmkES-based framework, as well as significantly better performance than Linux, despite the higher number of system calls and context-switches required. In particular we find that a highly componentised sDDF system easily distributes across cores, while each individual component being strictly sequential, reducing its complexity.

>The framework, running on the Microkit, clearly over-achieves our goal of “performance comparable to Linux”, outperforming Linux by a significant margin under all configurations evaluated. Performance is vastly better than that of the CAmkES system adapted to our transport layer (which is already a significant improvement over the performance of the previous CAmkES-based driver framework). The performance comparison to Linux is especially encouraging, given that the Linux IP stack is supposedly well optimised (especially for multicore use), while we are using the simple lwip [Dunkels, 2001]. We find that even on multicore (the scenario most favourable to Linux) our per-packet costs are significantly lower.

Yes. These things can both be true: We were sold on plastics being very recyclable, and hardly anyone ever actually recycles them. It's not a contradiction, it's a deception.
> happens to find employment in some EU countries under better conditions that they can find in Bulgaria

Which is almost always, as almost all EU countries have better conditions than Bulgaria. So in general you can assume a position with significantly worse social status than you had in Bulgaria, but if that position is in Germany, that is a net social benefit for you. So that's what you often do.

Bulgarian butchers in Germany, obviously, do not have native German to communicate with customers, and their butcher skills may be tailored to a different meat culture, so they are hired because Germany have more butcher positions than Germans want to occupy, and that German butchers will usually take the ones which pay more. Same for Bulgarian software developer in France: They have decent coding skills and English, but their French is no good, so they will be kept in more back-office roles, whereas French developers from France will be more customer-facing and paid somewhat more for this skill. That's pretty basic migration economy 101.

In Comecon, Bulgaria was one of more developed regions, which then got to host more prestigious industries.

4680 is a cylindrical cell format, the number you quoted refers to the cell itself, when packaged into a battery with busbars, cooling, etc., the gravimetric density on pack level for model 3 is around 125Wh/kg. the number listed by BYD is 150Wh/kg pack level density. the cells themselves are probably around 200-250, but they require less packaging effort due to the fact that the cell housing for prismatic cells already incorporates various mechanical and safety features.

i haven’t checked any of the numbers nor have i seen 3rd party analyses, but it definitely follows the trend: prismatics keep getting better and they might ultimately win the race once we get to solid state and thermal management “solves itself”
22% is a hilariously low percentage to use as a tagline. I do hope it gets better.
> 1.5billion per month is the salary of 300.000 office worker.

A common suggestion I've heard, is that the cost of hiring someone is around twice their actual pay (things like insurance, HR, rent or maintenance on the office building, equipment, site security etc.), which means half as many case workers, and each case worker probably has 20 unemployed people.

> so why the fuck does it take 3-6 month until they reply ? It’s , here the end of contract and give me money till I have a new job or for max a year.

You could try working for them to find out? Ich vermute, dass meine deutschkenntnisse ist nicht gut genug für das.

My guess, based on all the customer support workplaces I've heard about is: 85% of the people in the system are basically fine, 10% have difficulty understanding the system, 5% are a colossal PitA who need to be constantly chased or are even outright disruptive — and most of the cost is with that 5%.

I ignored the rest of your reply because I specifically used China and Poland as examples. The relevance of Sweden in the 1800s is unclear to me and you didn’t tie that to the comment chain. People on HN sometimes have this tendency to throw up a bunch of unrelated citations that have nothing to do with the main point, then expect the replies to address each one.

I agree that everything can’t be summarized as a simple cause effect, but the parent comment I replied to was about comparing capitalism to communism, hence my usage of examples of states that went from communist to capitalist. In other words, this isn’t theoretical. We have examples of a capitalist state succeeding, when it was formerly communist.

Again, Sweden in the 1800s is not particularly relevant here.

i see the ethical arguments against this decision. at the same time, we got testimonials from up and coming artists saying that their current pay is literally a few cents per month for getting similar streams as the threshold.

i am no artist but have been making youtube videos on and off for the past 5 years, with only one video breaking 6 figures in views. yet i never reached the threshold in the platform to monetize my content, while youtube is free to play ads on my hundreds of (non - spam/short) videos.

if not receiving a couple dollars per month for my videos is what stops me from my passion, then i need to ask myself more pressing questions.
They must be really trying to pump the Next conference attendance numbers.

How to Build a Data Product with Databricks
AutoCodeRover does not require or assume a unit test to generate patches. The results discussed in Section 6.1 of the ArXiv paper are generated without any unit test. The unit tests are used by SWE-bench, when evaluating the correctness of AutoCodeRover-generated patches.

That being said, when some unit tests are available (either written by developers or with assistance from other tools), AutoCodeRover can make use of them to perform some analysis like Spectrum-based Fault Localization (SBFL). This kind of analysis output can help the agent in pinpointing locations to fix. (Please see Section 6.2 for the analysis on SBFL.)
The first point is referred to as "criti-hype", when you criticize a thing by claiming it has almost magical powers, which is exactly what the owner would want people to think as they can charge more money for their magical services.

Similar to how the AI apocalypse-talk is hyping up the valuation of OpenAI.

At any rate, if we simplify the question it would sound something like: are the tech giants, notably social media and 24/7 smartphones with internet more efficient at influencing people than say, television or radio or the cinema was?

And the answer would be... kinda? But it's not specific to any of those platforms, rather the way the human brain is influenced when it's constantly in a crowd of their peers, so to speak. Likes, follower counts, reshares, endless feeds etc. are the innovations (over television and radio) that tap into our awareness and turn us hypersensitize. The algorithms are just there to keep hitting the nerves to keep us in that state.

In that sense, the odd feeling of constantly being online is more real than Santa Claus, and no matter how conscious someone is about how everyone is curating their very best, the images effect us all the same.

You are talking a different (nickel-cobalt-manganese, or NCM) battery chemistry. This is also a type of a Li-ion battery but has a number of advantages and disadvantages compared to LFP battery chemistry (which is just another type of Li-ion batteries).

As you mentioned, NCM has much higher power density, and allows charge/discharge at higher rates than LFP. But LFP technology is much better in terms of safety, stability, low degradation over time and much longer overall lifetime with high number of charge-discharge cycles.
This is a non-issue for Stow though because it’s managed by your distro’s package manager.
