i wasn't talking about conservatism in general. i was talking specifically about stouset's form of conservatism: 'extreme caution when considering the scale and widespread impact ... let's be conservative when considering compounds that live permanently in the environment, are damn near impossible to remove, and are spreading widely to every part of the ecosystem'

such extreme caution is entirely compatible with liberal post-enlightenment beliefs, but not with technological progress, which was indeed largely driven by shifts in public attitudes about technical innovations, including but not limited to novel materials. when newton was inventing modern physics he had to keep his chemistry experiments secret because chemistry was illegal, and the catholic church specifically prosecuted people (via the inquisition) for practicing chemistry: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30134775/

this problem continues to the present day, where it continues to retard technical progress in many places; and, of course, hatred and even legal prosecution of chemists in particular has returned in places like the usa. but the problem is much broader than this; for example, william kamkwamba relates in his autobiography how his neighbors believed the windmill he had built in malawi was causing a drought through witchcraft, after having ridiculed him as a lunatic for years when he was hanging out in the junkyard to salvage the parts to build it

I think this is possible. In order to double the speed of computing on a CPU you install a special "parallel processing unit" that is ... a second CPU! Ta da! Doubled the speed!

Micropayments is still not a thing yet. I think that if it were it would give rise to a lot of interesting movements like this one, organically more or less. The problem with open source and giving away things free is that people just take without giving back.

The first two points are foundational design principles for Decker[1], a programming environment which can be used as a local application or as a single-file self-contained web page which still retains all the development tools. The same is true for TiddlyWiki[2].

The web ecosystem already provides the substrate necessary to realize these visions, it's a matter of building things with a particular perspective in mind; a rejection of centralized infrastructure which is in many cases simply not needed.

Citation definitely needed. The gap is large, and consistent, across different nations and sports.
I believe the author is referring to how many logical threads/hyperthreads can a core run (for AMD and Intel, two. I believe POWER can do 8, Sparc 4).

The extra physical registers are there for superscalar execution, not for SMT/hyperthreading.

There are fishing boats selling fish in Oslo harbour... Though a lot of it is probably more for tourists.

But it's more common on the West Coast, I think. Even people in Oslo get impressed by the (rather small) Bergen fish market.

Then again I've never willingly gone looking for fish other than smoked salmon anywhere.
You don't even need the 8 :), 4 quadrature inputs will fit on one PIO block.

Some lovely person got a quadrature decoder into 24 instructions, so you can potentially still do something useful on the same PIO block if you only need one or two quadrature encoders.
Recently interviewed with a startup, and during the process via email, I was constantly communicating with different people. After the 3rd interview with the CTO, I thought they ghosted me and emailed the last interviewer and got no response. Over a week later the director of engineering emailed me to schedule the 3rd interview with the CTO. I immediately knew that they had internal communication issues and decided I wasn't going to pursue the role further.

My current role has a somewhat misleading title, but to offset that I make sure I really highlight my experience and the projects I've worked on. If an interviewer starts asking me about my title and why I'm applying for something more 'generic' I immediately know they didn't read my resume or pay attention and I'm out.

Years ago I walked out of an all day interview, maybe 2 hours in, because one of the engineers was on his phone the entire time, seemingly just scrolling and not paying attention.
100X for all workloads is more or less impossible to believe, especially if it is a parallel coprocessor of some sort (I mean Ahmdal’s law would seem to indicate that this is impossible).

100X on selected workloads is easy to believe, I mean, it be a 100 wide vector unit and the workload they get 100X on could be adding up a big line of numbers, haha.
This is almost too a high a bar, but I would prefer to take a job at a place where the interview isn’t about the interviewer demonstrating how smart they are. But… that would rule out most places.
In the US. I have yet to find an actual dumbphone, though. There are plenty of feature phones, but those are just low-specced smartphones. Better than nothing, but not what I really want.

If, for instance, the phone is running something like KaiOS, then it's a low-spec smartphone even if it only presents dumbphone functionality.
I've had it. I'm Norwegian, so my father bought some on a dare at one point.
This is based on legitimate (although second-tier) academic research that appears to combine aspects of GPU-style SIMD/SIMT with Tera-style massive multithreading. (main paper appears to be https://www.utupub.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/164790/MPP-TPA-... )

Historically, the chance of such research turning into a chip you can buy is zero.

Are you claiming Apple uses personal user data (e.g someone’s photos or texts) as training data for their server-side models? That’s a massive claim and there are some journalists you should definitely shoot a message to on signal if you have proof of that and aren’t just blowing smoke.
> But the company can’t quite show any of that today — because Flow hasn’t built a chip and doesn’t necessarily intend to build one, its co-founders tell The Verge.

The answer is clearly, no, they didn't make CPUs 100x faster. Maybe they intend to, but that's not the same thing as having done it.
You pay for the coverage and the infrastructure they built.

> you're saying most people can just point some metal out of their window and the neighborhood would be happy

Technically? Yes, you can do it in a few hours, or as a weekend project if you’ve never done it before. Just grab a full-duplex SDR; you don’t need to go for expensive ones like the USRP. Get a BladeRF or LimeSDR, download the software, and set up the station.
The problem lies with the regulations. Depending on where you live, you might face hefty charges for violating spectrum rules, and they are actively looking for such violations by the way. One of the proofs of concept we did with the regulators here in Canada involves using a drone to detect these violations. It’s just a matter of time before they find you.
A reference from the "Home-Cooked Software and Barefoot Developers" [0] post. I think the view of control on an axis where designers on one end and users on the other is very telling of the current state of software and my personal frustrations of it. When the incentives are misaligned and designers are optimizing for profit, we just get "industrial" grade software where the most reliable component is usually the payment screen.

I was an MP/M 2 user (Altos) for a while. It was a great system for a small workgroup, supporting a handful of (Volker Craig) Terminals. VT-52 clones IIRC.
Yeah, but even when constricting this to close family of about 50 people, when you are the "computer guy", it's still difficult to do. Who can they turn to?

I mean, seriously, what is the point of changing the user experience to something completely different every 5 years or so? Even I have trouble keeping up, think of the 60, 70, 80 year olds (my father is 84, struggling using Win11, when he was fine using Win8).

MS created a user experience expectations and they abandon all of it in favor of Mac like user experience, that might be great for 20-something designers, but they throw away all their existing user base for it.

I use KDE. Still the best desktop for me (coming to Linux from Win7, not that I did not try others before actually switching).
Eh... Not buying it. At least not the way they're marketing it. This looks like a group that dreamt up another one of those massively SMP multicore designs and are shopping it around as a coprocessor IP to license. Maybe there's interesting stuff in there, maybe not, but it's not a new idea. Cooking up some massively parallel benchmark and telling journalists it's going to make computers 100x faster is unethical and counterproductive.

The usual speed bumps with these SMP designs show up in the white paper. There's a section on how they can use recompilation to automatically accelerate existing code. There's a rich history of failed attempts at automatic parallelization at compile time. So this section is just an admission that you're going to have to write code specifically for this thing to get anything out of it.

This coprocessor concept looks like it needs to be tightly coupled with the host CPU to work. The upside needs to be massive to justify a vendor integrating with this IP and also overcome the software adoption costs. Especially since they're directly competing with GPGPU...

Also some strange red flags, like the comparison to quantum computing in the FAQ. (Did they feel the need to include this because an investor asked?)

My guess is they've done some interesting core research around memory bottlenecks/latencies in a massively SMP architecture, and picked up investment to attempt to productize it. But the way they're marketing themselves right now doesn't inspire much confidence.
Except it really is clickbait. It's a really cool development in 3D print technology, but it's not a tiny printer.
Deepfakes can be dangerous, but they won't harm our elections
Glanced at it quickly, and they mention new parallelism primitives that can be used to write faster parallel code, as well as speeding up existing parallel code. So if anything is 100X faster, it's probably some very specific routine written to take advantage of the primitives.
You nailed it, we should not use public data for important things like this that could result in fraud.
“By engineers?”

First, why not? I was an engineer. There’s not much difference between the engineering I used to do and engineering as a way to understand human metabolism.

I submitted two other articles one with 127 up votes and they were not about engineering. They were about nutrition, and one of them was about magnesium and addiction.

So basically everyone that made comments underneath those post should be flagging each other or all the engineers should come out and flag all those people. So I really know what this is about and it’s about people having a hard time with creative intelligence.

And you keep mentioning about talking about over my doctors friends. I don’t talk to Drs about this because they are some of the worst people to talk to. I talk About it with researchers. There are plenty of journalist that write books about health, you could look at me as a journalist. This guy wrote a whole book about depression and why Prozac doesn’t work and he wasn’t close to a psychiatrist or doctor or even a medical researcher.

Hacker news is not just about engineering. But as I said, I can read the room.
To answer the question in the headline: No.
Alright. Take care.
I'm sorry, but this is demonstrably not true.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I'll believe it when I see 3rd party tests.

I slightly skimmed the white paper and FAQ, and it really sounds like they're being extremely hand-wavy about making a multi-core CPU.

"The blocks inside the CPU die are optimized and meant for different purposes - vector units for vector calculation, matrix units for matrix calculation - Parallel Processing Unit is optimized for parallel processing."

Parallel processing of what? GPUs are essentially simple CPUs but massively parallel. If you're claiming to be able to parallel processing of a general purpose CPU, then aren't you essentially just making a multi-core CPU? How are you supposedly scaling that up to 100X?

This reeks of being a scam to get money from VCs.
How do you get into this kind of business? Before you have any customers you would not have any data to train a detection algorithm right? So how can you bootstrap the entire product? Is it solely based on connections to buyers?

There are many different models. Look at Elinor Ostrom's work, or projects using participatory budgeting.
I'm not; this also works for me better than anything else I've tried.
Three new orders in April, three in May. Isn't that about 10% of what they need? Boeing has an image problem, ok, but that sounds like a serious case of customers reducing their exposure.
In a lot of places, peak supply is during the day now. Overnight conditions are more about a lack of demand than a surplus of supply (although they're sort of equivalent), but really the most effective use would be charge while the sun shines, dump the battery onto the grid when you get home, and then charge slowly overnight after the end of peak. Assuming there's no downsides from cycling your battery and you and the system have perfect knowledge of your evening plans.
Yep. "Nope" is my default response to captchas. There's almost always something I'd rather be doing once I stop and think about it.

That is, instead of investing in alternatives now, while the problem is becoming more obvious, many continue with business as usual.
Taking reasonable steps to safeguard production costs money after all.

I'm not sure what this phenomena is called. Where it becomes obvious to many people that things will need to change to address some future issue, but few if any do, because things are fine "for now".

Things like apathy toward climate change seem similar to this.
Socialism is alive and well for corporations. Oil wells should be fully plugged and dealt with before they can be abandoned by the companies pumping them. Instead, private land owners and taxpayers foot the bill. Disgusting.

Can you tell me where I said the opposite? It feels like either you don't read what I write, or you don't understand. That would explain why you ask me to define every second word.

> While wasting ton of money and people-hours to meaningless work around another dumb regulation promoted by dumb bureaucrats.

Define "wasting" and "dumb" before you ignorantly label a whole industry sector. Can you?
I agree that's the goal, and fear is a very effective driver of engagement.
The article also ends in a question mark. Journalist: “here are their white papers, what do you think?”

That’s… an interesting way to write an article. Maybe they will write an article about comments to bring it full circle.
Trying to be serious and then post those as your sources is pretty funny.
> Fumbling with your phone sounds like a silly statement but so did fumbling with your wallet.

I don't think people want to look away from their phones to do anything, least of all pass a retina scan. You don't even need to swipe away from TikTok to use Apple Pay.
They were also the first to usb-c nirvana - they were shipping laptops with thunderbolt in 2011, and moved to usb-c in 2016, giving you four full-capability outputs at a time when most laptops had one, sometimes, and it took another 5 years before most laptops adopted at least one as standard and premium laptops sometimes had two.

(People look down on the move to usb-c which I don’t quite get, everyone seems to fawn over usb-c in other contexts but macbooks, amirite!?!?. Yes it’s nice to have a hdmi port but fundamentally if you buy into this vision that usb-c does everything but you also want to use a bunch of legacy ports (vs thunderbolt video, thunderbolt networking, etc) then obviously you’re going to have to have dongles, and people supposedly buy into that vision in other contexts. Apples implementation of that vision was fundamentally at least a decade ahead of the curve there, if you’re going to do that you want lots of ports and you want every port to do everything, not “this one is the only one that can charge fast”, “that one doesn’t have video output”, “if you run both ports they drop to some weird lower capability because you’re dividing the controller”. Those complaints are the things people don’t like about the base-tier M-series processors today, and apple’s previous models solved that problem long before anyone else did.)

Hell until very very recently a lot of the time the competition didn’t even have thunderbolt/Pcie tunnelling… you got 10gbps usb-c and a grab-bag of charging and display features, and you’re gonna like it. That’s still the case with motherboards and it’s literally only with this years’ release that we’re finally getting usb4/thunderbolt as standard on high-end boards. Literally more than a decade from when apple started putting thunderbolt on laptops, almost a decade from the era of 4x tb3 full-spec ports.

… and reminder that in classic usb fashion, usb4 still doesn’t even guarantee Pcie tunneling support. So really it can still be just a normal usb-c 10gbps connection in a silly mustache and trench coat. Even on the next-gen stuff. What’s the term for doing an ok, moderately competent but not even exceptionally good job while your competition repeatedly shoots themselves in the face, again? But it’s by design - the intent is deceiving and manipulating the customer into buying last year’s junk, it’s working as intended for USB-IF’s real customers and stakeholders.
