We don't know better, we just have different jobs. Media organizations have headline writers whose job is to sex up the title. Our job is to knock it down to size.

This is in the site guidelines at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." and there's a good 15 years of standard practice here around how to do that. We don't editorialize in the sense of using the title to take a side on the underlying topic; the goal is to be as accurate and neutral as possible, and to use representative language from the article itself ( https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

You have a good point (we're not experts or particularly qualified, so who do we think we are? it's a fair question!), but it's superseded by a more practical concern: if we didn't do this, HN's front page would be filled with linkbait titles. Since titles are the biggest influence on threads, this would change the character of the site and even make its mandate (intellectual curiosity) impossible. So we try to make it bookish (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), to use pg's old word, and it has long been part of the implicit contract between the site and its readers—so much so that when a linkbait title does show up on the front page, they will complain in the thread about absentee mods and typically flag the submission.
That's about the only 'rational' explanation I can think of - but I suspect that's really small money overall - it's not people who can only afford to buy 50$ that will drive up the price ?

Or maybe the actual number is x10 - since we don't want to buy just 1 share, and the real minimum is 10 shares ?

You bring up a good point about making previously ephemeral activities recorded, I can see why people would take issue with that.
While I agree with you, Python is getting better in this regard, as is mypy.

Making historical interfaces well-typed is another kettle of fish. For instance, Python's range() is actually two overrides with incompatible signatures. I bet PyTorch has more of such examples.
Counter-analogy: This is ultimately people copy-pasting the first answer they see from a web-forum. That's been bad advice for decades, and the same underlying problems remain because most of them involve human foibles and allocating attention.

What these tools change is making the process much faster and adding a (rather questionable) imprimatur of quality from a vendor that may not actually be a good curator of code-samples.
> furthermore, if you look past the "Intel is just too slow for the power envelope" that you stated:

Well, yes. Intel was not able to deliver fast mobile CPUs on time. So Apple decided to give up and do it on their own.

> PS3 underpowered?

Yes. It was terribly underpowered. I worked with it back then, and it was slower than a 1GHz Pentium for practical tasks. The CPU in PS3 was clocked at around 3GHz, but it had full in-order execution. So any code with branches just died.

Sony's way around it was SPUs - special coprocessors, that were even more underpowered with little local memory. But there were 8 of them, and the common data bus was pretty fast.

It worked great for graphics and for something computation-heavy like Folding@Home. Kinda like modern GPUs. But it sucked for general-purpose code.

> Also if you compare like for like, the CPUs IBM put out in 2005 with 3.2ghz had a TDP of 75W. Intel CPUs in 2005 at 3.2GHZ used 130W TDP. both used 90nm processes.

Now compare their performance for actual tasks. You'd be surprised.

Cell architecture bombed. As a result, Sony switched to a regular architecture for PS3.
They are printing money with H100. The cost of for Nvidia is maybe $3k and have been selling it for $40k+

TSMC fab capacity and packaging are the bottlenecks for revenue growth.
Thanks for this, I appreciate hearing your perspective and basically agree.

An important point you raise is the significance of a deep history intermingled with that of a country's neighbours. Especially I think when it involves levels of conflict that greatly change society.

Maybe it's easier to find ways to get along when you've a deep shared cultural memory of what happened when you didn't.

Whereas the US has had this in a sense internally, its wars have generally been in "far away places". Other than isolated examples, this leads the populace to mostly "miss out" on what the impacts of full-scale war feels like.

I wonder if the microcosm of the armed forces might bear the brunt of this aspect in some isolation - and perhaps, sadly this may show in the high rate of US veteran social issues, suicides etc.
Let's be honest, no matter who the Republicans run, the candidate will be demonized. Only years later, when the person is not a threat to Democrat dominance will people judge them more positively on their actual value like is happening here (and has happened to McCain, and to Bush...).

If you don't get points for running a good candidate, there's no incentive to run a good candidate, only one who can win.
This is so sad that I don’t know how to express it. But it was expected, as the profit mode is on. No wonder why people keep leaving the company.
Thanks for your pedantic contribution. I obviously mean you can’t buy them on a small account. You can by a fraction of an NVDA share with $200 but you can’t buy a call option
Should all companies have to run their own CDN? I agree that Cloudflare having a huge market share is a problem but I don't see how you could outlaw this. Unless every company is buying property and running their own servers they will have to outsource some of the delivery to third-parties. But this is why they have contracts in place to govern how they can use the data. Unless you are huge, or don't need much performance you don't have many reasonable options. Also where would such a law stop? Are AWS and GCP illegal as they can read keys out of customer's VMs?

So I agree it would be great to reduce the number of third parties for many sites. But I don't think this is something that can be fixed just by slapping a bit of regulation on it.
Your statement assumes a conclusion that has not been established and indeed that conclusion is wrong in my opinion. We can tax wealth and tax money transfers out of the country and do a host of other things to equalize things. We can establish labor standards that mandate a certain level of living for workers. We can also require a high level of labor standards for imported goods.

As an extreme example of how easy it can be to better equalize the distribution of wealth, and not one that I'm advocating for, the Soviets did a great job of ensuring that economic inequality was low. Of course this was obtained by ensuring that everyone was equally poor.
Well, good news is that you have optional modes in most compilers that do this.

You would not want to force these by default, nobody wants it. You can not statically determine them unnecessary in for the vast majority of code, even stuff as simple as `print(read(a) + read(b))`.
inkscape and prezi should already do some of this
Thanks, CAFE regulations!
I found the arguments compelling. The discussion on "Effective types" and C not having a proper concept of objects is key.

Another way to think about it: even if you had defined constructors and destructors for a struct, you have not solved when to call them. C++'s answer to that question is its sophisticated object model. C does not have one, and in order to answer that question, it must. It's worth noting that RAII was not a feature that was intentionally created in C++. Rather, astute early C++ developers realized it was a useful idiom made possible by C++'s object model.
C bitfields aren't packed. You have to resort to compiler extensions to get that behavior.

Yep. It is really hard to trade options even for hedging when the notional is so high. Of course you can do combinations of strategies to lower the upfront but I imagine many brokers might just not give the credit worthiness or permissions for that.
Don’t know why your were downvoted. Unless I miss something obvious, as well.

We invented the concept of right and wrong, for a reason. Or true and false, same thing. It's useful. The experience of my own existence - and the assumed irrefutability of it - is based on features beyond my control. How do I make my heart beat? No idea. I just do. Is logic itself, like science, not based on observations? Anyway, nice conversation!
> the player is holding his hand near the bridge (back of the strings) with the side of the palm resting on the strings to suppress all the harmonics so you only get the fundamental tone and it has this sort of muffled quality (because a lot of the brightness comes from harmonics).

Palm muting is one big technique to the more aggressive and chunkier metal sounds[1].

Even if you take out the music theory - or blatant disregard for - except kinda not, it's complicated, the different way you can create sounds with an electric guitar[2] in weird ways is quite amazing.

I wrote about this a while ago: https://www.dsebastien.net/focus-on-things-that-dont-change/
While I think I agree with your definition of "engine", I'm not sure I agree with the idea of "motor" being a subtype of "engine".

To me, a "motor" is a specific part of a system's powertrain: it's the part which converts some other type of energy into kinetic energy for the purposes of moving the system. On the other hand, an "engine" is a self-contained system that establishes some kind of stable feedback cycle to perform a task.

With that in mind, a car's internal combustion engine is the motor of the car, since that's the place where chemical energy becomes kinetic energy, which results in motion after being transferred through the drivetrain.

If you take the same exact engine out of the car, mount it in some fixed position, and rig it up to generate electricity, I wouldn't technically call it a "motor" anymore, because it's not acting to move the system it's a part of. (That being said, I probably wouldn't split hairs here, since the engine was originally designed to be a motor. But you see my point.)

Importantly, this lets us fit diesel trains into our definition: they use diesel engines to generate electricity, but electric motors to actually make the train move. In an old steam-driven train,

It also addresses the question of what to call the part of a model rocket that makes it go up. It's the part of the rocket's powertrain which converts chemical energy into kinetic energy that moves the system. It's a *motor*.

---

So, with all that said, an interesting point is that the terms "motor engine" and "engine motor" both make sense, but don't mean the same thing. "Motor engine" describes an engine designed to perform the role of motor (as opposed to a "generator engine"), whereas "engine motor" describes a specific kind of motor (as opposed to a "chemical motor").
I should clarify - I'm ambivalent on a lot of the current structures (political, economic) that this is being created in. It's less about "AI" and more about how it's being shoved down our throats. I have ethics concerns (even though I understand and am slightly sympathetic to the arguments that "training" an AI on data is like a human studying previous works - though I don't think that's what's really happening). I have concerns about this being done "at scale" (especially seeing what Nvidia is doing to build giant massive data centers - though - as with most tech "it gets cheaper/cleaner/more efficient" so I can understand over time this could go down).

Being local reduces some of these issues... But even then I'm not sure I trust the big actors the renege on the original deals and start hoovering what they can.

That's why I'm willing to play with this locally on my own end just for funs while not necessarily buying into the hype, or trusting the players/creators that they have the best intent besides more exploitation of natural, human, and data resources.

Sometimes it's ok to have complex opinions, and admittedly I was a bit strong in my condemnation above, but also brevity in comments is a virtue, better to underexplain at first than overexplain and clarify if needed. (He says as he spends multiple paragraphs over-explaining in a followup)
That's exactly what it is, and it's useful because when it works it means you can ask a question and get an answer to your question, rather then having to read the documents and then answer that question yourself.

It is much worse than just the three extra test-and-branch operations, because they will be serialized through one ALU.

Just to be clear, I never meant to suggest "only a b-tree", simply the option in the stdlib as per zug_zug (who I did not also take it as suggesting "only"). Different data structures for different use cases as always.

JavaScript famously implemented arrays in terms of hash tables and.. In a similar vein, I've also known people who also mistakenly thought B-trees could replace a good hash table as the default &| go-to "associative container", but "order costs" (on one side or another) as you said elsewhere.

It's hard to say how much choice needs to be in a stdlib. Hence my exploring how to better say it. :-) E.g., Go has no b-tree in the stdlib, but has a bunch of crypto stuff. Nim has little to no crypto stuff, but has a critbits trie.

EDIT: Oh, and FWIW, at least abc-unix used B-trees for list & tables, not AVL trees.
That argument has nothing to do with whether it is gaming the system. Just like intentionally buying a house on a good school district is not gaming the system.
Maybe it wouldn’t be an algorithm, maybe it would be a reporting site where you can review your experience if there’s no way to calculate it.
Imo this depends on whether the limiting factor is demand or production.

If it's production capacity, then if in a year they're able to get TSMC to make them twice as many chips, they could likely increase their growth rate?

I'd be sweating if I were any of TSMCs other customers right now and trying to renew my contract. Idk what the ratio is in size between an H100 and an M3, but I doubt it's anywhere near proportional to how much nvidia is willing to offer TSMC.
That's not at all how stock splits work. You're probably confusing them with buybacks.
Huh, it’s almost like having a CEO who doesn’t give two shits about public perception, proper behavior, truth, consideration, or loyalty is starting to catch up to them.
You go to https://joinmastodon.org/, click on "join" (or pick another server if you are adventurous)

Regular consumers hate this because they don't know what they're getting into, and it feels like the social media equivalent of a crypto scam where you're invited to buy a coin, any coin. It was probably intended to resemble arriving at college during rush week and pick a social/activity club to join, except you have to pick a server without any real way to browse around and understand what differentiates them.
To me, this actually sounds like a nice feature, if you have full control over it, i.e. you are sure all data stays on your device, it's a local AI, etc. And also, you can easily enable/disable it, and you can easily see its current state. E.g. maybe a small red dot in the corner which indicates that it is currently enabled, and clicking on it will switch it off to gray, clicking again enables it again. And of course, Recall should be disabled by default.

I actually did exactly this for myself for a while: A script took a screenshot every few seconds and dumped it into a DB. I had a few fun ideas and projects based on this:

* https://github.com/albertz/png-db: Store multiple PNG files more efficiently by sharing common data. This gives a compression rate of about 400-500%. (Maybe Windows Recall could use sth similar?)

* https://github.com/albertz/screenshooting: Scripts to analyze the screenshots. E.g. I wanted to collect the amount of time I was having coding in Eclipse. It was a reason to play around with OpenCV.

Regarding logging the time, I later developed a simpler solution: Some script which records the focused app window and its opened content URL: https://github.com/albertz/timecapture
I heard they are also announcing a 10 for 1 stock split, which would really help the option cost too due to the share price going to about $100
Show HN: Digital Menus for Food Businesses
Hi community!

I built a web application for small restaurants to manage their food menus digitally. It allows managers and owners to edit their menus and share them with customers via QR codes.

A few months ago, I waited 10 minutes for a physical menu at a Korean restaurant. This experience seemed unproductive for both customers and businesses. Many local businesses either create their own static pages or lack digital menus altogether. I believed these businesses would benefit from an easy way to put their menus online.

I'm happy to hear any thoughts!
I still, to this day, think that significant whitespace in Python is an awful design choice. I avoid it for that reason.
A very part-time CEO, no less.
Yeah, the distinction is a bit fuzzy. I can come up with some examples, such as certain kinds of pumps that don't involve moving parts.

But when I think of things I call "motors" and "engines", I admit the distinction appears arbitrary (but clear nonetheless in my mind). For instance, if there's a device that moves things as a component of a larger machine, I'd call that device a "motor", but am likely to call the larger machine an "engine". And to go back to the pump, I'd call the device that moves to push the liquid a "motor", not an "engine", for no good reason.

As with much of English, this "rule" has enough exceptions as to question whether or not it should be called a "rule".

I put "rule" is scare quotes because what I was originally describing is decidedly not a rule at all, just a description of how I tend to use those words.
I do live a charmed life by those standards but my point is that it isn't a privacy issue at all to me.

Storage and processing happens on your device and it is encrypted, so I don't see how this feature makes my information less private at all.

It seems like the actual issue people have is that they don't trust Microsoft or they don't trust the government/people/everyone.

Which is fine and understandable, it just isn't related to privacy.

“We” don’t have any say.

It’s naive to take the charter of openai at face value. It’s hilarious to see applications of non-profit tax filings as I’ve grown up. There is tremendous wealth and commerce flowing through the US tax free. Religions, universities, “good” tech companies. To whose benefit? Humanity’s? Lol

I bet the nonprofit with a small for profit arm that the tech is licensed from is the next best thing since the defeated incorporating in Ireland for tax avoidance.
It's absolute poverty, drug abuse, and mental illness that constrain people's circumstances and influence their decisions. How similar or dissimilar a person's circumstances are to those of strangers they have no relationship with are not relevant.
I'd expect a comparison with compact (or even succinct) constructions for arbitrary functions, like MWHC. Section 3.2 of https://vigna.di.unimi.it/ftp/papers/TheoryPracticeMonotone.... has a good overview.

Given a set S of arbitrary hashable values, it's possible to represent a function from S to r bits in |S|r + o(|S|) bits (keys outside S are mapped to random r-bit values). More practical construction hit ~1.23 |S|r, or even |S|(r + 1.23) bits. It should also be faster to evaluate than `r` bloom filter lookups for large datasets.

I think the main advantage of the bloom filter (or compressed bitmap) approach is it can be updated incrementally. MWHC-style representations are better suited to build once / read many workloads.
That is not how it works. People having tutors are genuinely smart, have discipline, do well and then get tutor to do even better.

> 29) Not only has Tesla not made any regulatory actions to start robotaxis, but the FSD software continues to pull outright dangerous moves that show it is nowhere near ready and perhaps never will due to hardware limitations.

Also if Tesla really was ready to unveil a major robotaxi service, wouldn’t there have been a lot of new hiring, e.g. humans for remote monitoring and servicing, like how Waymo has operators ready to take over when their taxis go awry?
Like I said above, I think there needs to be a extremely compelling need to use eminent domain.

I dont think the government should be engaging in minor utilitarian optimization. That is to say, there should be an very high threshold to use government power even if the the cost to the individual is quite small.

Where the government has trump cards which override individual rights and freedoms, they should be used rarely and out of necessity.
