I don't use either in my day-to-day. I also have memory issues around just memorizing these things. I can probably do it if I can look up how it works and then translate it.

I have a really bad memory and I don't know if it's related to being aphantasic or not (no mental imaging capacity).
> The max power on Intel/AMD CPUs is only there to get the CPU "performance crown".

It's mostly not. Its real purpose is to improve performance on threaded workloads.

Multi-core CPUs work like this: At the max boost a single core might use, say, 50 watts. So if you have 8 cores and wanted to run them all full out, you'd need a 400 watt power budget, which is a little nuts. It's not even worth it. Because you only have to clock them a little lower, say 4GHz instead of 5, to cut the power consumption more than in half, and then you get a TDP of e.g. 100W. Still not nothing but much more reasonable. You can also cut the clock speed even more and get the power consumption all the way down to 15W, but then you're down to 2GHz on threaded workloads and sacrificing quite a bit of multi-thread performance.

So they're not just trying to eek out a couple of percent, even though that's all you get from single thread improvement, because a single core was already near or at its limit. Whereas 8 cores at 4GHz will be legitimately twice as fast as the same cores at 2GHz. But they'll also use more than twice as much power. Which matters in a laptop but not so much in a desktop.

Of course, the thing that works even better is to have 16 cores or more that are clocked a little lower, which improves performance and performance per watt. The performance per watt of the 96-core Threadrippers are astonishingly good -- even though they're 360W. But that also requires more silicon, so those ones are the expensive ones.

> Instead we'll use it only for king, which will be the phonetic for this set, and add little signs called radicals to distinguish the rest

This is something I would dearly enjoy to have a genuine expert opinion on. I've looked at some research[0] (§1.3 in particular), and as far as I understand, the idea that radicals are essentially/purely phonetic doesn't match with historical records.

Meaning, if I understand correctly, characters used to be systematically considered as semantic combinations, with authors "debating" about the proper way to interpret some characters (again, see §1.3 where Xu Shen proposes different interpretations than Confucius's).

I did, I said they aren't human-like intelligences, so countering with "humans make mistakes, are humans not intelligent?" is drawing a false equivalence between humans and LLMs.

Since we do not possess a definition of intelligence that isn't human-like, it would be meaningless to argue if LLMs are intelligent in general. All that can be said is that they are not intelligent in the way that humans are.

Unless the clocks are accelerating, that shouldn't change the ratio between the two time differences, right? If the two ends have a constant velocity relative to each other, then each should perceive the other as being off by a fixed rate.
The reason you aren't getting any feedback from GNOME developers is because this is a huge long rant without any real new information in it. The developers are already aware of what bugs are present and what features are missing. If it was easy to fix all the bugs and replace the extension system, they would have done it already. If you don't like GNOME's design then just don't use it, it's not possible to change the entire design of the whole system every time one person has a problem with it.

There won't be any official theming where they support changing application themes to whatever you want. That is and will always be a nasty hack -- the entire idea is flawed and conflicts with the idea of GNOME, which is to have a complete platform with a consistent look and behavior. It's impossible to have that and also have full theming capability at the same time, those two ideas are the opposite. IMO you should give up on that or you will be more disappointed in the future. At one time I too used to think it was possible but I gave it up when I realized it just isn't technically feasible.
In a weird way, when it comes to home purchases you actually have to negotiate no negotiations. So in real life
you can't actually accomplish what you want.

And if you want to go further and opt out of the standard home purchase contract entirely you get lawyers involved on both sides so you're again negotiating.

The implicit assumption you're making is that offering the house at 80/90% of market value is a concession but that's not how that works. You can't do the negotiation for the other side, say take it or leave it, and say that counts. You can't negotiate against an imagined person in advance

If you offer it take it or leave it you're at the whim of the judge saying, "that's absurd no reasonable person would assume that was in a home purchase contract."
I haven’t even mentioned N95 masks. I’ve stated masks as a general thing. Surgical masks that are cheap and readily available are to prevent the spread of anything.

N95 masks to prevent you getting covid don’t help anymore than surgical when we know it was be contracted through skin and eyes etc.

If you’re wearing it in a workshop or some dusty place then obviously they are far superior to surgical masks as they are designed for the wearer.

And obviously wearing an N95 when you’re sick is more helpful than a surgical mask as they are much better fitting and don’t let as much through if you sneeze of cough.

> We apply our approach to inverse graphics tasks, where our model learns to convert images into programs that produce those images.

I would argue that at least on a philosophical level, this is, definitionally, the process of converting raster graphics to vector graphics, as long as you by the premise that the difference between the two is simply that vector gfx is a programmatic/imperative representation of image generation, while raster is a data structure/declarative representation of images.

In other words, simply put, raster images are just arrays, vector images are sequences of instructions. Raster images are naturally much closer to the “raw” data needed by the output mechanism, while vector images require a much more complex interpreter.

> What did they do in 950AD?

An example from around then or a bit before, arising from the spread of Buddhism in China.

The name of Vairocana Buddha, whose name in Sanskrit is वैरोचन and means 'solar', is given in Chinese in two forms:

1. 大日如来 Dàrì Rúlái

This form is a loan translation, where the meaning of the Sanskrit is translated bit by bit into Chinese (日 means 'sun').

2. 毘盧遮那佛 Pílúzhēnà Fó

This form approximates the sound of the Sanskrit word using Chinese characters. It's typical of Chinese phonetic translations, which still today largely just use characters, and thus often don't sound much like the word in the original language.

I'm not who you replied to, but I have such a story.

I was in southern China for a couple weeks, using Google Translate to try to talk to locals sometimes. The voice-to-voice feature seemed useful and more approachable than asking someone to type on my phone. I'd often start by saying "Talk into the phone and it will translate."

This did not go well. People seemed bewildered, utterly unwilling to try it out. Some people already knew what I was doing but the rest seemed to think I was crazy. One or two tried taking the phone and holding it to their ear like they were going to have a normal phone conversation with someone far away.

I later found out that Google had translated my phrase as something like "There is a phone call for you."
And that paragraph is just about the only meat in the article!

The lead time for this is 15 years. It's the only energy generation technology that has become less economical with time, precisely because it isn't 'sound' without strict oversight. Gas peakers are the more timely and economical option.

> the wall street folks and the usual hustlers behind this

The wall street folks won't put their money behind something that won't see returns, but yet that's exactly what they've been doing, and continue to do. China and India (and the rest of the global south) are building their own renewable capacity at absurd scale, not because of wall street shills, but because it's the most economical way to generate power.
Saw this earlier today elsewhere but hadn't clicked in & hadn't seen it was Snowflake doing this! Whoooaaa! Incredible to me that they're taking such a seemingly strong stand to facilitate interop between products, versus strongly favoring Snowflake stuff.

Core quote, to me:

> Polaris Catalog implements Iceberg’s open REST API to maximize the number of engines you can integrate. Today, this includes Apache Doris, Apache Flink, Apache Spark, PyIceberg, StarRocks, Trino and more commercial options in the future, like Dremio. You can also use Snowflake to both read from and write to Iceberg tables with Polaris Catalog because of Snowflake’s expanded support for catalog integrations with Iceberg’s REST API (in public preview soon).
I think this misses something important. If it makes economic sense, corporations will figure out ways to integrate AI into their processes, even if it's imperfect. After all, companies are already built out of humans who are also often confidently wrong - but successful companies have ways to detect and mitigate that. In fact, that's one of the primary requirements for a company to survive, that it's able to build a functioning system out of imperfect components, particularly humans.

You can see an example of this in the use of LLMs to generate code. In that case, there's a whole SDLC pipeline designed to detect errors: type systems, language compilers and runtimes, tests of various kinds, QA, user feedback, etc. We don't just trust confident software developers to produce correct code.

Even a life-critical function like medical imaging - where imprecision can be fatal - can potentially benefit from this, where AI is used in conjunction with human review. It mainly requires development of some standards of practice - unlike with an average user blindly trusting the output of a model, radiologists would need training on how to use the models in question.
Seems like you're putting words in my mouth. The Utah law is 14 pages, where the GDPR is 88 pages, with at least twice as many words per page. We don't need a sledgehammer here.
I feel the exact same way. I wish FOSS desktop advocates in the 1990s either rallied behind the development of GNUstep, or I wish that during the time when Qt had a non-FOSS license, the Harmony project (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmony_(toolkit)) had gotten greater attention as a workaround against Qt's licensing issues. Even standardizing on Win32/Wine might have been a better outcome. Unfortunately we ended up with the Qt/GTK split and everything that resulted from that.

Don't get me wrong. KDE, GNOME, and other leading FOSS desktops aren't bad, and it's quite remarkable what they achieved over the past 25+ years. However, I feel we could've ended up with something better, something that would amaze even Mac users. I could imagine a few alternative timelines where the FOSS desktop community rallied behind GNUstep, or perhaps some of the more research-minded people in the community would've gone all the way and came up with some sort of radical GUI inspired by the Smalltalk and Lisp machines of old, as well as some of Apple's 1990s experiments. (Given RMS's affinity for Lisp and his Lisp machine roots, this wouldn't have been too crazy.) I have many thoughts (http://mmcthrow-musings.blogspot.com/2020/04/a-proposal-for-...) about what my ideal desktop environment would be like, but I haven't had the time to work on them. Maybe if I win the lottery....
I like the expression, but the example of Portuguese/Spanish is absurd IMO. As a Portuguese speaker, the amount of effort required to communicate with Spanish speakers is very, very high, to the point where I avoid trying at all costs. Here in Texas, it is almost always more effective for my family to communicate with Spanish speakers using very broken English and hand gestures on both sides than trying to get any Portuguese-Spanish mutual intelligibility to work.
The problem is that within an interview context, many times one is expected to just come up with a perfect solution within a short timeframe.

It's possible to solve these on the fly, but you're at a disadvantage compared to people who have done hundreds of these problems, pattern match to the closest leetcode problem, then immediately write the optimal solution on the board.
Charge Robotics | Senior Software Engineer | Full-time | Onsite / Hybrid | SF Bay Area

Hi HN! We’re a YC-backed startup building robots that build large-scale solar farms. We just got back from the first commercial deployment of our system on a real-world solar construction site.

Check out a video of our system here! https://youtu.be/ZZ2fP1Y5Z2E

It turns out that construction companies literally can't build solar fast enough, so what we're doing is a crucial part of switching the grid over to renewable generation. We're looking to bring another talented software engineer onto our small team.

You’ll be a key contributor, helping bring our next generation of mobile solar factory to life. Your work will involve architecting, developing, and maintaining high-quality code and documentation for our fleet of fully-automated factories

Come work with us if you love:

* Fast-paced prototype development with software and hardware components

* Making a positive climate impact through your work

* Hacking on massive construction equipment!

> I described a means of acquiring a line that I believe most would accept as meeting our ideas of "straight" that was consistent with my interpretation.

Which, as I said, involves throwing away the 2-sphere and substituting a cylinder. Which does not strike me as a valid interpretation of anything. There is no cylinder anywhere in the problem. Saying "I will only count a Euclidean straight line going off into space as a straight line" would be one thing--still not really applicable to the problem, but the Earth is embedded in a Euclidean 3-space so at least you're dealing with something that's actually there. But saying "I will not count a great circle on a 2-sphere as straight, but I will count as straight a circle drawn around an imaginary cylinder that I just made up" is something else.
