No one considered Hitler a "socialist" (which still had a very positive association at the time). It was just a label he piggy backed on. None of the important socialists of the time ever had one good word to write about Hitler or his party. In fact, Hitler put communists and socialists in jail. Pointing out "Hitler was a SOCIALIST" is just a dumb ahistorical take, the mark of a propagandist.

And for mister Kelogg, he wasn't "the foundation" of the American Progressive movement, he was just a progressive. Plenty of other Progressives from that time were not eugenicists or avowed racists. Unfortunately, racism and eugenics were very popular in many parts of society in this time. There is still no doubt that today's Progressive movement is decidedly anti-racist and anti-eugenicist, while all neo-nazis are still proud to hold these 19th century views (with modern-day morons like Charles Murray to invent and lie their way to a more modern-day scientific racism).
I don't get why they specify that it's not actually a henge, since a henge is "a prehistoric monument consisting of a circle of stone or wooden uprights" and "dating from around 3000 BC to 2000 BC, during the Neolithic (also known as the new Stone Age) and early Bronze Age."

I suppose it's out of scope for the article to dive that deep, but it would be nice to know the difference between this site and a henge. The water is after-the-fact, so it can't be that.
AMD's previous socket was usually x16/x4/x4 for GPU/M.2/chipset. For AM5, they added another four lanes, so it's usually x16/x4+x4/x4 for GPU/(2x)M.2/chipset, unless the board is doing something odd with providing lanes for Thunderbolt ports or something like that.
> Always write the simplest thing you can, but no simpler.

I don't think so. Time and time again the client will insist on stuff like "the customer only needs a single email address/phone number" but you're going to pay for that one later if you do the simple thing and add an "email" column.

Same for addresses.

And a whole bunch of other stuff...you need to normalize the heck out of your DB early on, even if you don't need it now. The code you can mostly make a mess of, just choose a good tech stack.
I was thinking about it, I then went to the classic positional way for simplicity. But I will work on it, is a work in progress :)
>educational like stuff from Veritasium

People call his videos educational, but really, what is the actual education being imparted? Its superficial, and you will never know how rich the topic actually is, and what the nuances are who the critics are and what they say, etc, etc. I'd put those videos in the entertainment section.

(FWIW I watch those videos too)
It's not an equivalence, but it's not unrelated given the number of people who committed actual crimes and were found to be very much involved in Nazi groups online. This just comes up again and again.
Running a CDN for ingest, and a CDN for viewing streams and VODs isn't cheap. Twitch still pays Amazon to run their equipment.
This is a complete non-sequitur. The GP was talking about harassment, which is a massive problem on any non-moderated public forum, regardless of political leaning of the harassee (or harassers).
It has been doing wonders for Desktop Linux and Linux mobile phones.
> I want AI to do my laundry and dishes

Machines for those tasks are already commonplace. Is loading/unloading them really that much effort?
No, that's just you dissing a tool by playing up its imperfections. Some people do what you say. Others, and I imagine most ChatGPT users that also hang out on HN are like that, recognize the tool is fallible, but also that for many tasks, it's orders of magnitude easier to check a solution than to come up with one from scratch. Even >50% rate of failure is fine - you can retry your query four times, mash the responses into something serviceable, and sand off the rough edges yourself; it's still easier and faster than doing it yourself from scratch.

Or put another way: you bet I'd go to my local wizard if magic was real and they were half-competent at wielding it. Now, magic isn't real, but GPT-4 being better at almost everything than any single human, is a trivially verifiable fact.

Or put yet another way: most software devs are fallible and half-competent at what they do; this doesn't stop the world from making software.

Exactly this - I've a colleague who just fell into "solution mode" and started whiteboarding a LLM framework he could fine-tune with RAG and some 3rd party vector database. It's six months later and there's still nothing working or even a deliverable schedule.

Compare this to another colleague, with an almost exactly similar use case, who just downloaded an open-source LLM, wrote some glue code and set it loose in production. It's not pretty but it (mostly) gets the job done.

As the old addage goes "Perfect is the enemy of good".
Not that I use Twitch much anymore, nor am I really bothered by see a random boob or dick every once in a while. What does annoy me is that the OnlyFans "models" see every other platform as means to push their OnlyFans subscriptions. How the hell are the so much money flying around that it can finance that many OnlyFans creators?

We can't funding for ad free search, video stream or software development, but we have millions of men and women doing OnlyFans... I don't get it.
It's not year over year. It's 2 years.

It's disappointing because M4 is significantly ahead. I would expect Zen to make a bigger leap to catch up.

Also, this small leap opens up for Intel's Arrow Lake to take the lead.
Yeah, thats the problem. "they would never do that" has been violated far too often by supposedly centered media outlets. During corona, our state contrtrolled media actually really said that citizens are not supposed to listen to any other media because everyone else is likely lying. And since it is blatantly obvious that center-left parties will get a haircut for what they did during corona, again, the state controlled media are now doing exactly what you describe, warning the citizens of the evil right parties. And I am forced to pay for this, 50 cent a day. This isn't democracy anymore, its blatant manipulation of public opinion.
I've declared quality bankruptcy. Decisions are now driven by user needs. Did I half-ass that feature? Yes. Is anyone actually using it despite crying it's essential? No. Then it's not getting cleaned up. Are they not using it because it's shoddy? I guess we'll never know.
Sorry I have to respond to this but it’s so problematic and common I feel the need.

1. Let us not get hung up on what the nazis were selling at that time, place and language by using the word socialist (oh wait it wasn’t in English!?! Oh that’s a translation??!!!). In any case, that’s nearly meaningless unless you really think the People’s Republic of China under Mao was really a republic? Then I can’t help. TLDR , political labels are meaningless lies. This is not a serious argument to point out their name.

2. All of these authoritarian movements have different origin stories and sometimes they’re pulled out of different movements, and it’s hard to attach their origins to the final product, more confusingly for labels such as progressive and conservative (or left and right ).. they may be very very “right” or very very “left” in two different policy areas. If we want to stick to the nazis.. they were a good billion times more interventionist and militaristic than any American progressive movement ever was so (super right wing I guess?!?), despite legitimately saying some things you’d hear out of the American left at the time.

3. Ultimately authoritarians are mostly about being in power, and whatever else you go for here, that’s the main takeaway you should have taken away from the nazis neither left nor right but being about themselves being in power.

In any case, the nazis were the nazis and the fascist salute they’re famous for I’ve seen made by more than my fair share of otherwise entirely right wing organizations such as Franco’s Spain, who openly opposed and fought against communists and socialists.. and yet were assisted by the nazis directly in Guernica. You can read Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia for a good first person account if you’d like to understand how confusing this all can be to label the nazis as either progressive or socialist.

Of course the most challenging example of all of this is Chile’s Pinochet. Nazi salutes at his funeral for a man that also openly fought communism, had an economic policy designed entirely from University of Chicago economists in a way that would have made Milton Friedman proud, much more free market than anything we had in the states at the time. I still don’t really connect the University of Chicago to fascism, because that’s silly.

The fascists movements are at least definitely fascist but I assume they would have been anything to be in power.

> The question I really wanted answered going in is: why is the Earth's rotation speeding up since 2020?

Wikipedia's chart of the length of the day explains this part [0]. Overall, the day has been getting shorter since 1970, though it oscillates somewhat due to the metonic cycle. (Which, as I understand it [1], is just the tides changing the shape of the Earth over the course of the Moon's orbit, causing a change in angular velocity, which adds up over the months.) It's only since 2020 that this has regularly gone under the 86400-second mark, making the integrated ΔT start to decrease. And the SI second itself was based on the year 1900; I assume even larger-scale effects caused the day to originally become longer since then.

Luckily, we seem to have already hit the low point of the current cycle around January 2023, so there shouldn't be much risk of a negative leap second in the next decade.

I've worked for some fairly large tech companies, building products customers more or less want. About 6 years ago, I convinced myself that I just need to build something, anything, and customers will come flowing in immediately.

So I scraped job boards and built my own that would "only" cost users $199 to post a job ad.

What I learned here is that your implementation is meaningless to the user if you're not delivering the value they came for. In this case, I wanted to take a technologically inferior product, make it extremely efficient, scalable and "blazing fast", and pocket pure profit from running a serverless job board (effectively free to run for the first million visits a month).

In total, the job board logged 761 sessions for 661 users in 2018.

One of many failures on my way to builing OnlineOrNot.
Damn, how to expose yourself as a shallow unintellectual not worth listening to: thinking that because it says "socialist" on the label it means all socialist parties are Nazi-like.

By your logic, the Democractic People's Republic of Korea (aka North Korea) is an example of democracy...
My manager gave me gruff the other day for adding a TODO that I had no intention of ever doing. TODOs are like a get out of jail free card. Don't want to do something the reviewer is likely going to call out? Just add a TODO.
Yup, 100% true.

And anyway, US trucks are just a peculiar form of luxury car. Case in point the Toyota Hilux, which is Toyota's famously sturdy workhorse truck, is not even sold in the US. Instead they have the Tacoma, an entirely different construction.

It is built around consumer comfort features and impressive specs instead of being rugged, easy to repair and inexpensive.

Anecdotally the Tacoma is huge, and horrible off-road. There are other tradeoffs, like softer suspension, which you want in a passenger car for comfort, but not in a vehicle used for hauling and going on difficult terrain.
rust is just too ugly for me - you can't even properly use its functions to build capital-A abstractions because it's compiler is too dumb to optimize them properly.

I think we used the solutions as a vehicle for discussion, rather than settling on a "correct" one. Though I can't recall for certain, it was well over a decade ago.

Yours is a good supplement, whichever method is otherwise used. I'm partial to cheap, analog solutions. Though, installing quality signage on a large campus can quickly become more expensive than a simple app.
How are any of those socialist policies? That happens in many countries whatever the system. This is like saying north Korea is Democratic because they have it in their name.
To me XML and JSON are actually technically quite similar, and both have been touted in their heyday for similar reasons over more apt format (auto-documented! simple to implement an ad-hoc serializer!).

Would you mind explaining why you thinks it is an apple and oranges comparison?
Slashdot and web-rings seem pretty similar, well before Wikipedia. Heck, subscribing to Usenet newsgroups seems not dissimilar for information junkies.
I've had 13 hour flights. Unbearable!

By the time I got to my destination the first time, I had a severely thorough understanding of Lisp macros. There isn't much else to do, other than look out the window at clouds and ocean, or darkness as the time of day dictates. So I use it to learn things I otherwise "don't have the time for" but genuinely am interested in.
It looks like JS doesn't expose equality operator which can distinguish different strings. Thus "abc" and "abc" are the same object, no matter how they are produced, even if under the hood they are separate instances.
Now you're just asserting things unencumbered by even the slightest evidence.

On Passmark Apple CPUs are pretty far down the list.

On Geekbench I gave up after scrolling a few pages.

And "run faster on Apple Silicon than Zen4" means nothing. On the low end you have fairly cheap Ryzen 3 laptop chips, and on the high end you have Threadripper behemoths.

> Wrong, wealth is not finite and it can be - and is - increased

Possibly the word you want to be using is limited; it is slightly harder for people to make pretend that the pie is fixed with that one. Although your point is much stronger than your opponents - wealth is infinite, since wealth doesn't have to be physical.

> There's another tide computer on display in the Science Museum London, which uses Cones moving on plates.

Here's how a mechanical harmonic synthesizer and analyzer work.[1] This is a very clear presentation of Michelson's design. It does forward and reverse Fourier transforms. Reverse (synthesis) is obvious enough, but the trick for analysis is clever.

The hardest part of the problem was the addition. Sine and cosine were easy. Multiplication by a constant was easy. But adding - that was hard.
The Michaelson machine has an elegant solution. The positions to be added apply tension to springs, which pull on a common pull bar opposed by a single spring. So the addition happens in force space.

The USGS tide predicting machine #2 [2] added up the terms by running a long chain over many pulleys that can slide. The position of the end of the chain sums the pulley positions. This is a true positional sum, and is more accurate. But the mechanism is much bulkier and heavier.

I met someone similar in a previous company, but was way more objectionable than your college buddy. Some ex-Google DevOps bozo who just made it his life to snipe at other people's code and projects and undermine them whenever possible. I was talking to someone this bozo just called out in a very public forum, and asked why he wasn't furious and the response was more enlightening than anything - "That's all he's got", which was true - the DevOps bozo had absolutely no other life outside his small corner of tech and needed constant reassurance of their own superiority through publicly critizing others work.

In the end, folks just ended up ignoring whatever this person said - talking it with a grain of salt.
I never understood why Twitch doesn't add a morality clause to prevent streamer to be adult content creator. It would instantly solve the problem.
There was absolutely an internet trend about hating Nickleback, and I don't think you need a lot of people to start something of that sort.

I think much of the Musk hate is something similar. Here in Sweden we actually have a conflict with Musk-- the labour union network that almost all Swedes are part of are striking and Tesla are bringing in strikebreakers from outside Sweden to overcome this, something no company has done for a very long time and something which is a threat to the way we've ordered our society, but even we don't hate him. Rather, you see quite rabid Americans go on about him, who much less of a conflict with him than we do.
Oh, the day I lost 15% of my net worth because of a single bet/investment. This was after a period of months during which I had already lost perhaps 30% of my TNW (Total Net Worth).

It hurted so much. Soo much. I felt dumb. Unlucky. That the world was unjust.

I proceeded to analyze why I did that investment, and if it was a bad or good idea. It was indeed - I didn't know enough about that investment, and I realized I was essentially gambling.

By the way, in my view, most people that invest in crypto these days are engaging in a form of gambling; or in a Ponzi scheme where they try to be on top of the pyramid. (if you disagree, there is no need to downvote me - just comment on why you disagree).

I realized then that the hardest thing to make, or keep, money, is discipline. Greed and FOMO are your enemies. The best lessons are the ones where you pay a high price. No pain, no gain, applied to investment.
Could you expand upon this? sounds like an interesting opinion/experience that is worth sharing in more detail.
Nice quote.

But I think that's where learning begins. The most-likely point of failure in learning is motivation. Getting somebody interested with bite-sized information can bait a person to go further without them using up much motivation.

You're not going to learn every topic you hear about, but you might learn some.
No, but you don't know if your transactions are actually safe, or even more so an election, if you don't trust these auditors. The people writing the code, running the servers, etc - you also need to trust them, and they are actually the ones handling your transactions or votes, the exact middlemen.

And again, in any fully electronic system, you need to take into account the whole system, not just one part of it. Maybe Bitcoin or Ethereum or whichever blockchain you like is indeed perfectly safe and very trust-worthy. But if I'm connecting to it to vote from a Windows PC that I last updated 5 years ago, then I'm still extremely likely to lose my private key to my money or have my vote cast for whoever Microsoft or the writers of all the malware I'm running likes best.

There is no way to make electronic voting safe. There will never be any way to make electronic voting safe. Any country doing it is playing with fire. Blockchain does nothing at all to change this one iota.
It’s not on the front page of the NYTimes (I’ve checked on mobile) as I’m writing this, the search for “China” only gave me an article about some small island being afraid of said China (which is par for the course for one of West’s paper of record)

Nothing on the BBC’s front page either, only something about China accusing the MI6 of something (?!).
1984 is an entire book talking about how terrible fascism was.

One of 1984's core tenants is that control of speech, erasure of history, revision of the present, removal of WORDS to mold what people think. It's a fundamental treatise about why fascism controlled people, the narrative, and how it changes everything. (It talks about bureaucracy as well but that's another topic).

Using 1984 to defend fascism, against the fascist tactics highlighted in 1984 being rolled out in the world we live in is a pretty nuanced take. But you have to get past the word nazi first.

Passmark is a pretty bad CPU benchmark. It generally has poor correlation.

I would stick to SPEC and Geekbench.

Even Cinebench 2024 isn't too bad nowadays though R23 was quite poor in correlation.

In general, not only are Apple Silicon CPUs faster than AMD consumer CPUs, but they're 2-4x more power efficient as well.
Because not all wealth exists in the present. It is like counting from 1 to 5 and concluding that the maximum size of an integer is finite because so far the count has only reached 5. It is not so, however. The maximum size of an integer is infinite even though any particular integer is finite.
I don’t think this is true at all… Jackson is a good book not because it’s an easy introduction to EM but because it exposes you to more complex problems than would typically be looked at in undergraduate courses. There’s clearly a place for advanced texts for this reason.

I used to think I was destined for success, because I'm good and creative at many things, and am curious and can teach myself things.

But: I expected the system to integrate me. I realize now that, unless you're lucky, it's up to you to integrate yourself into the system.

It's a bummer to be underpracticed at this, and to be integrating suspiciously late. Feeling your potential, your ability to create great value for the system (while hopefully inspiring the system to also take good care of you). But instead only tapping a small fraction of your capability, because you haven't managed to link yourself in right.
