> no company is financing high energy physics

Medical Technology (eg. Siemens Healthcare, GE Healthcare, Abbott, Medtronics, Phillips) all sponsor high energy physics due to it's applications in medical imaging and some nuclear therapies.

HPC firms like Nvidia, AMD, Intel, Huawei, etc are also major hirers due to the applications of simulations in machine learning (and vice versa). Most ML innovations were sparked out of research that arose from nuclear simulation research after the NTBT was enforced.

And finally, ML R&D companies themselves have funded research in adjacent spaces of High Energy Physics that also had concurrent applications in the ML space.

The issue with CERN (and much of Europe's R&D ecosystem) is organizational.
Funny story - I used to live somewhere very central in London.

I noticed there was this one spot that always had something there.

After living there for about 2 years I knew it was THE SPOT.

So when it was my turn to move out, I had to get rid of all my furniture and thought I'd give it a go: over the course of a day I got rid of two 3x3 ikea kallax, a 2m cupboard and a tv amongst other stuff. An old woman even tried to tell me off for illegal flytipping but the ONLY time anything lasted more than 30 mins was when a guy found the 2m cupboard and was organising a car to come pick it up for him. And he stood there protecting his quarry for about 1 hr (I could watch the spot from my balcony)

My fav was actually helping to carry one of the kallax shelves about 400m to the other guy's house with him.

JIRA is what comes to mind when I think of software that does really stupid things nobody would ever want.

Want to middle click this one specific link to open it in a background tab? Instead of respecting default browser behavior the user is expecting, JIRA happily hijacks the mouse down event to open your background link in the foreground instead, which prevents you from opening multiple links in a convenient timely manor.

A deployment happened on December 29th. It's January 2th. Suddenly, you need to know if the deployment happened 1 week ago or 1 month ago. You remember the deployments page usually says useful information such as X days ago or X weeks ago. Based on the facts, a rational normal person is expecting something like 4 days ago. JIRA says "last year".
Genode can also run on sel4.
I did the same thing. It might have been too much and killed the plants at some point. That or the excess fertilizer lol.
This is the different kinds of cooking. I have recipes I have to follow very precisely. If I dont it basically breaks the thing being made. Other things I can vary it wildly on how I feel and the dish will come out pretty good. Confectionaries (such as cookies, pancakes, breads, etc) I have to stick very close or it will be a bad time. But something like a beef stew where I am basically blending it together I can vary a lot of items and still come out good. Now if I want exactly the same thing I had the previous time then I have to follow it closely. Some ingredients lend themselves to being measured precisely. Others like say a pound of hamburger can vary in what was in the original meat. Like a lean cut will want more oil/butter. Whereas a fatty cut probably will want less oil/butter.
It’s actually hard to say. The prices these companies pay can be very different than list prices for us mortals. It’s one of my biggest complaints about AWS; the prices seem high, but in reality they are very opaque.
This is giving me major Geth from Mass Effect vibes.

Given the massive impact that AI has had on the cultural conversation, I wonder how far away we are from a similar conversation about robots.

I can totally understand the "not required to install an app" but just so I'm clear, are you advocating for requiring charging stations to accept cash? Or just purchase without an app?

Based on the article, it seems like the Cyc had ways to deal with inconsistency. I don't know the details of how they did it, but Paraconsistant Logics [0] provide a general way to prevent any statement from being provable from an inconsistency.

Sure, but the same argument applies.
I actually loved the presentation of it, kudos to whichever team collaborated on it!
Is the challenge solved by basically "a lot of mutexes"?
Did they say that they set out to do that? (not sure, genuinely asking)

I was under the impression that the point of doing this was to have control over the hardware and the software to build a complete package a-la-Apple (though nowhere as deep) because once they have the software stack too, they have the flexibility to quickly add a lot of end-user life-improvement enhancements. Maybe I was presuming too much.
The article uses screenshots from apps and operating systems’ interfaces though.
It's the merchant's signature. The buyer's info isn't part of the receipt as I envision it. It's necessary for some of the functionality I mentioned but not all.

Also you're assuming the receipt from one transaction follows the item. That's not necessary. Every transaction gets a new receipt. But you would want a history of receipts for a Rolex or car.

Picture this, I submit the item to Craigslist with my receipt. It's not posted, but Craigslist verifies it and puts a check mark on the post.
Oh, I remember the episode very well. It’s stuff from my past that’s gone.
For OpenBSD it's significant and somewhat of a milestone because its network stack has been trailing a bit in terms of transfer speeds when compared to e.g. Linux. The kernel has had a lot of "big locks" that hamper executional performance in complex ways across many different venues, and the past few years the developers have been busy cutting these into smaller pieces.

Yep. They made entire disciplines of nanoscience and nano engineering to train grads to do jobs that didn't exist. I was one very briefly before seeing the writing on the wall and moving to electrical engineering.
I do this and probably never break over 3 words or 32 chars, usually the literal ticket titles are overly verbose and poorly chosen anyways.
Did you try ClickHouse? It should provide data ingestion and querying performance comparable to Google BigQuery, while it should cost less, since you can run it on your hardware.
they probably pay around 40% of list, depending on how much their ARR is.
I appreciate that System76 is making the changes that they want to see in the DE themselves, and I think overall it looks very cohesive and I can understand what they are trying to achieve. But unfortunately it has the same problems that I have with modern GNOME - it looks like a mobile phone/tablet UI. I really can't understand the design trend of hiding all but basic functionality behind a hamburger menu, or if you're lucky a few unlabeled toolbar icons to decipher, on a destkop PC. Or shoving a search bar and all of the application's menu/toolbar (what's left of it) into the title bar. It makes perfect sense on a small screen, but their flagship products are desktop and laptop PCs.
Here’s the part that explains it from the GitHub page (https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-epoch):

Read-Only Filesystem: If you're not on an immutable distro you may notice that /usr/ and /opt/ are read-only. this is caused by systemd-sysext being enabled, when you are done testing you can disable systemd-sysext (sudo systemctl disable --now systemd-sysext)

It is thus no proper method for long term deployment.

It makes sense to me but it definitely caught me off-guard.
Matzah lasagne: use Matzah boards as the noodle layers and use veggies, cheese and sauce. Could use meat as an alternative. Need to soak them a bit first or else use a lot of sauce since the boards tend to soak up whatever moisture there is in the pan.

Reading this article was a bizarre experience, where the author has a completely opposite set of priors to you, and then you read the result one step removed with the priors unstated, resulting in whiplash where good things are actually apparently bad things.

> Companies including ByteDance, OpenAI, Stripe and SpaceX have valuations in the tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars, and remain private.

Sweet! Going public is step #1 for your company turning into an unethical monster motivated only by its own share price without any concern for its customers, its employees, or the society that allowed it to exist. Good for those companies for resisting the urge to turn their company into an all-consuming monster.

> Stocks also still tend to be the cornerstone of portfolios for less sophisticated retail investors.

Yes, unfortunately. We should be discouraging gambling, not encouraging it. A reduction in the importance of stock markets in personal finance is good news, I hope it continues.

> [T]hree economists, suggest that the disappearance of markets may reduce public support for business-friendly government policies, as voters benefit less from corporate profits.

Again, great news! Business-friendly government policies are worker- and environment-hostile policies. Businesses have way too much control over public policy.

But then,

> Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan’s boss, is among those to have voiced concern.

Concern about all this good news?? What??

Wait why are we reviving them? All these outcomes are great!

Weird article :)

Ask HN: How to start a CDN company? Egress is expensive
Every cloud offers cheap compute, but expensive egress. And it becomes more expensive in some regions.
Here are some stats for Asia Pacific region:

1. AWS: 0.12 USD per GB

2. Azure: 0.11 USD per GB

3. Google Cloud: 0.11 USD per GB

4. Oracle: 0.025 USD per GB (cheapest one among the large companies)

5. IBM Cloud: Could not figure out.

Linode (Akamai) offers 0.005 USD per GB.

With these prices in place, how do CDN companies work? Where can I get cheap bandwidth?
VIA also has a "dormant" license, potentially willing to sell.
Not sure man...
They haven’t said a word about costs. Does it cost as much/less/more?

One challenge would be deciding on the unit to compare the costs. They could pick cost per Peta/ExaFLOPs.
have you checked out Wasp? -- https://wasp-lang.dev
Who keeps receipts? That's the point, you would if it was easy. It's automatic like keeping a email. I have all my credit card transactions going back years. It would be the same.

It wouldn't be linked to me as I envision it.
> In short, there’s no meaningful difference between RISC/ARM and CISC/x86 as far as performance is concerned.

Yet that usually doesn't seem to be the case in my experience, unless perhaps you don't care about power consumption. Then again, maybe the author doesn't consider frequent interrupts to be an issue of performance.
Anyone have an updated estimate for how much storage could be fit in a shipping container and its bandwidth equivalent?

[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1437634#:~:text=Conserv....] says 60PB, which for 20 TB drives would be approx 3000.

A petabyte is still a lot of data!

In my experience the bigger issue is that much large data sets are rarely truly static, and inventorying/tracking/validating is a massive undertaking all on it’s own.

Didn't big hospitals start to get their own accelerators ? (Or what do you mean by "DL"-oh, Deep Learning, my bad, in context I thought it was something like Direct Linear particle accelerators...)
> two out of the three covid vaccines came out of Europe

Moderna and Novavax Covid vaccines are entirely American. Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine was researched in Germany, but productized by Pfizer which is an American company. AstraZeneca vaccine is from UK, so yes in Europe but not in EU. Janssen vaccine was developed in Netherlands and Belgium by Janssen Vaccines, which is a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, again an American company.

Also, Trump's Operation Warp Speed gave $1.2 billion to AstraZeneca and $1 billion to Jansen, so America funded even European vaccine development more than Europe did.

"It doesn't solve the entire problem instantly, therefore it's no good."
Mostly because almost nobody needs it, and even fewer need it in that form. And if you need that, then even if AWS can deliver it, you need more than one supplier.
> A company should have every right to deny service.

Pretty sure that's legal and Meta could do it if they wanted to.
Biased article. 14nm was delayed and 10nm was delayed by 4 years.
"That a company is required to provide a service even at a loss."

That's the conclusion some privacy folks came to after the GDPR came to life. Those predictions from 10y ago are not materializing.
It really is kind of amazing that we have spent so much time and effort on the "UI problem" for desktops when really, whether we want to admit it or not, Microsoft nailed it with Windows 95. By the end of the year we'll probably have another new desktop environment project going somewhere in Linuxland by someone who just swears that they've picked up on something everyone else, through 30 years of daily use, missed.

That’s not the case at all. If they can’t serve EU users profitably without violating their privacy they have every right to pull out of the market. If you can’t run your business without violating the rights of the citizens then you can’t do business.
Two lifeforms merge in once-in-a-billion-years evolutionary event
While Chrome _does_ respect existing standards, sometimes to the point of pedantry, it also happily rolls out designed-for-our-needs web technologies and APIs into its majority-share browser immediately, only starting the standards process once it has the feature implemented. That means for months, or years, Chrome essentially has a proprietary set of extensions and APIs while its competitors are waiting for the standards process to work.

Does “having a proprietary, not-a-standard set of extensions and APIs that work only in that one browser” sound familiar? Chrome may not be dragging its feet on existing standards, but it’s so far out over the skis of where the standards are at.

THAT is what people mean when they say “Chrome is the new IE”.

For storage in particular this gets dicey. Is there an off site backup? What data loss is acceptable for that recovery? What availability requirements do you have?

This really needs to be made illegal already. All prices should be public and you should not be allowed to charge different customers different prices for the same automated service.

I should be able to store my data at the exact same $/TB price as Epic Games, for example. They once mentioned it costs them less than a penny to serve several GB from AWS - why the fuck is it more expensive for me?

When companies grew so large that they stopped caring about their impact on their immediate surroundings.

In my friend's tiny town there are literally two companies that employ everyone living there. Once my friend was complaining to me about poor performance of one employee. I asked "can't you just fire him?" to which he replied "then I'll have a jobless bum walking around my town, I need to have him doing something".

Meanwhile modern big corporations don't care about such issues because they are completely shielded from the results of their mismanagement.

Really good article.

I know some of the early evolutionists wondered about the evolution of the feather and wing, since it seems hard to evolve in a gradual way -- a little bit of a feathery flap doesn't offer any advantages if it's not enough to glide on.

I know one of the leading theories is that they evolved to keep animals warm, since they're also good insulators. Is this still the main theory?
