Hard to disagree, but have you seen abroad? Seems like outside Europe you're at a constant one health crisis away from homelessness. Is that even an exaggeration at this point?

I agree with you. If you read the original presentation by Dave Patterson that introduced RISC-V, the idea was to unify disparate architectures ( microcontrollers, DSPs, CPUs) to unify their software ecosystem (compilers, optimizers, debuggers) to facilitate and accelerate development.

I don't think that goal has yet been achieved. Instead, as others point out, we've seen a plethora of offerings from cheap vendors dodging the ARM "monopoly".

In the AI space, established vendors like Nvidia & AMD have no incentive to overhaul their entire stack to RISC-V. It's a huge investment and risk for unknown returns.

Disruption will have to come from outside, but it'll be a while before we see Nvidia dethroned.
I left the valley in 2010 - so maybe I only saw it at its best? I can remember part of the fun was just figuring out what the hell you were looking at :-) There was another place not to far from there that was mostly ham gear - they had a electron microscope at one point!
Except in the real world, where the infrastructure to raise money for a previous problem can out compete new infrastructure.
I love some of the interpretations there. For example "Fig. 10: Only Sonnet-3.5 can count the squares in a majority of the images.", when that model simply returns "4" for every question and happens to be right.
C'mon, call it dark forest already
Usenet files get taken down all the time. Rights holders send notices to the Usenet providers and they remove enough of the binaries where they can't be repaired by the PAR files.

Indexers are separate entities. Those are the ones who catalog and host the .nzb files. You see those go offline far more often but Usenet is still pretty small compared to torrents so they don't get reported as much.
Apple lost a class action in the US and there is another UK class action pending.

The Apple PR people are reaching pretty low trying to deny this ever happened.

Indeed, like all real-time systems you need to think in terms of worst-case time complexity, not amortized complexity.
The EU should absolutely have their own launch vehicle, that's undoubtedly a good thing.

What I was getting at is, if Europeans resent the US so much then why the sincere hell should we (Americans) defend them?

I would much rather see our servicemen protect actual friends rather than "allies" who sneer at us.
Ask HN: How could Astronomy and Computer Science work together?
I’ve always wondered how I can find a job that involves knowledge of computer science and astronomy, but it seems like the only way they could work together is when it comes to analyzing data in some boring windowless lab somewhere. I want to be in the field so to speak working in an actual observatory where I could play a part as a computer scientist, is this possible?
Poor title, 4 in 10k is in the low side of estimate.

"by plugging this value into the Drake equation, Stern and Gerya arrive at a value for the number of extraterrestrial civilizations as somewhere between 0.0004 and 20,000".

EDIT: If we take a number near the middle, say 1, we have ~1 per galaxy. Near the high side, we have ~10k per galaxy.
The motivation is relevant, and the motivation here doesn't look good.
Ah my bad, you’re right. I think it doesn’t do V2V directly, but can use reference audio to guide TTS.
MUI (and Joy UI) is a lot different than a utility CSS framework. It has <Box>, which is a utility CSS component, and sx, which is a theme-aware way of doing inline styles.

The difference is that it comes with a <Button> component (and of course more), which has different variants, and you can set default props and default styles at the theme level.

So where an outlined button in a utility CSS world is class="... ... ... ...", or figuring out a way to be able to express that with class="button button-outlined", in MUI and Joy it's <Button>

Maybe the author wanted to squeeze as many hours out of the task as they could? Plenty of non-top-quartile people love this sort of thing as a day at the beach.

For the diametrical opposite, here's one time on an embedded system where I really didn't want to bring in a library dependency, so I wrote an inconspicuous-looking good-enough version:

y = (d - (d + 366 + (d >= 47847)) / 1461 + (d >= 47847)) / 365;
d = d - (d + 365 + (d >= 47848)) / 1461 + (d >= 47848) - y * 365;
y += 1970;
Well, analytics and now warehousing are PostHog’s product.
RISC-V has the budget of China behind it so essentially all the money.
It all depends on how you define language and culture, and that's before you delve into a host of other unstated assumptions. The whole debate is driven by unstated assumptions, or assumptions and thresholds which are more-or-less pulled out of thin air, notwithstanding any associated quantifications. And these assumptions are constantly in flux.

For example, once upon a time "tool use" was considered a unique capability of humans, and from that was derived definitions of intelligence, etc. Well, turns out lots of other animals use tools, at least under that original, somewhat simplistic definition. But what's the significance of that fact--that other animals use tools? Does it mean they're also intelligent, just like humans? People have argued as much, but the "tool use" test was basically pulled out of someone's butt to begin with; the fact we all agree other animals use tools, now, doesn't actually imply much of anything.

People draw conclusions where none can be drawn. And people establish presumptions and definitions to fit their preferred conclusions.
It depends where the mandate comes from. If from the US out will get spontaneously adjusted due to specific conditions.

I worked in Europe and Asia for a very large US company and the mandates from HQ were exponentially weakening with the distance.

If it is from the in-country entity it depends on the country. On France it would get readjusted after some sighting and discussions.
Apparently, they can't. Ive done the same sort of thing with software licenses - occasionally, something is so useful that I'm willing to maintain my own subscription. The full Jetbrains suite, for one.

I seem to recall Apple doing roughly the same thing with email accounts.
To further expound on this. ASIC (like AMD CPUs) is a lot like software work. The engineers that create a lot of the digital logic aren't dealing with individual transistors, instead they are saying "give me an accumulator for this section of code" and the HDL provides it. The definition of that module exists elsewhere and is shared throughout the system.

This is how the complexity can be wrangled.

Now, MOST of the work is automated for digital logic. However, we live in an analog world. So, there is (As far as I'm aware) still quite a bit of work for analog engineers to bend the analog reality into digital. In the real world, changing current creates magnetic fields which means you need definitions limiting voltages and defining how close a signal line can be to avoid cross talk. Square waves are hard to come by, so there's effort in timing and voltage bands to make sure you aren't registering a "1" when it should have been a "0".

Several of my professors were intel engineers. From what they told me, the ratios of employment were something like 100 digital engineers to 10 analog engineers to 1 Physicist/materials engineer.
We have started the ara of ai.

It really doesn't matter how good current llms are.

They have been good enough to start this ara.

And no it's not and never has been just llms. Look what Nvidia is doing with ml.

Whisper huge advantage, segment anything again huge. Alpha fold 2 again huge.

All the robot announcements -> huge

I doubt we will reach agi just through llms. We will reach agi through multi modal, mix of experts, some kind of feedback loop, etc.

But the stone started to roll.

And you know I prefer to hear about ai advantages for the next 10-30 years. That's a lot better than the crypto shit we had the last 5 years.
Unless the franchise has a contract with the franchisor that states non-compete, then it is not only fair but completely legal.

A franchise had the capital to make their own restaurant but chose to be subservient to a franchisor instead. That's on them. Owning a business has great rewards, but is supposed to have great risk too.

It is time we brought the risk back. Policy the is cut throat to business is good policy. Businesses should be ravenously competing, failing, and going bankrupt. There should be no bailouts. There should be no patents. It should be survival of the fittest -- as it is for the poorest of society.

On France this is the exact opposite. It is showing respect to everyone and ensuring we get back to normalité once the waters calm down.
Europe needs the US more than the US needs Europe as far as NATO is concerned, the defence spending disparities speak for themselves.

I sincerely question the logic behind our servicemen putting their lives on the line for someone resenting America this bad.
Frankly speaking, European healthcare does not seem that attractive to me versus decent to good employer backed American insurance. I’d rather have a (often significantly) bigger US salary.

If there is a healthcare system that I’m envious of, it’s those of some East Asian countries.

I know of some Asian-Americans in the US that do medical tourism to Asia despite having company insurance. Ends up being not only less expensive, but more importantly - also massively faster and more efficient to get treatment.

Heck, I don’t know many, but I know there are Asian-Europeans that make the same trip too.
How is it anything different? You have no money. And Microsoft has. The problem on this is that it will give a huge leverage to rich companies over poor, because those rich can steal (memorize with AI) anything including music
Does Netherlands or Spain claim to want to be wealthiest again?

I think both are useful, but designing a modern CPU from the gate level is out of reach for most folks, and I think there's a big gap between the sorts of CPUs we designed in college and the sort that run real code. I think creating an emulator of a modern CPU is a somewhat more accessible challenge, while still being very educational even if you only get something partially working.
OTel made sense because there were multiple observability vendors eager to lock you in with proprietary formats and SDKs. The motivation behind OTel is to instrument once and ship anywhere, whether your vendor is Datadog, Splunk, Sentry, or whatever.

This seems to be the same thing for feature flags, because these days people are farming FF management out to vendors like LaunchDarkly.
I think as a learning tool this is pretty great! I want to implement the most common ML and stats algos over the next few months to review how they work on a deeper level and your website will help a lot. I like that you explain all terms in your equations.

Personally, I would probably enjoy even more explanations and/or links to good resources, e.g., visualizations, etc. as well as more information in the solutions (e.g., via comments or doc strings). Good job anyway!
Your initial statement is a particularly bad sort of semantic mishandling.

The seal absolutely failed, in the way that any reasonable person would interpret that phrase. A seal prevents things from getting past it, and it did not do that.

Some alternate phrasings that I believe make the (valid) point without this semantic flaw:

- The Challenger did not explode because of a simple or unexpected seal failure.

- The seal failure was merely a symptom of a larger, harder to fix, much more troubling failure.

- The seal failed, but that was not the failure that mattered.
RE "...if you want to keep things accurate..." always unexpected expenses and taxes. To within 10% is fine for me. I use spreadsheet.
It would be great to see the readers of this site step back a bit.

Consider the growth of the Administrative State, which amounted to a shift away from elected representatives crafting laws to having those representatives essentially vote on requirements documents.

Unelected bureaucrats then turn the legislation into regulations so that the operating system of the government can function.

But since its regulation and not legislation, it's Constitutional. If you squint.

The point is one of scalability. Whether one considers the Administrative State a great idea or not, it came about because it was needful.

So, all of the MAGA Conservatives can do victory laps, but if the basic requirement to keep the ship of state on an even keel goes unmet, then stand by for the blowback.

I'd like to see some genuine thought given to how to balance the requirements of modern life with the desire for accountability for decision-makers, which bureaucracy famously obviates.

For starters, consider Federalism (Washington DC only manages interstate and international, not individual).

A political architecture, like a software architecture, might be improved by such a layered approach, instead of the (substantially) Monolithic State of Washington D.C.
People don't prefer snap, they are forced into it.

That is how it feels to the rest of the world when they hear UK thinking they want to reclaim the top spot again.
Don't care - it's a tool like any other. It can be over-utilized, applied wrongly, or any number of other misuses. Judicious use for illustrative purposes is fine by me.

I don't get upset when someone uses Bootstrap to do their site layout or React to handle interaction, despite the fact that a designer didn't get paid or a programmer wasn't hired to hand-roll the code.

Hydrogen-Powered Data Centers: A Sustainable Solution?
You're maybe thinking about this in a way that's not helping you to understand the system and why it works the way it does. It's very clear when you think of a specific case.

Say you want to make a recording of "Valerie" by the Zutons. You need permission (a license) from the songwriters (the Zutons presumably) to do this. You usually get this permission by paying a fee. Having done that, you can do your recording. Whenever that recording is played (or used) you will get a performance royalty and they will get a songwriting royalty.

Say you want to use a cover of "Valerie" by the Zutons in your film or whatever. Say the Mark Ronson version featuring Amy Winehouse. You need permission (a license) from the person who produced that version (Mark Ronson or his company) and will need to pay them a fee, some of which goes to the songwriter as part of their deal with Mark Ronson which gave him the license to produce his cover in the first place.

The Zutons don't have the right to sell you a license to Mark Ronson's version so if that's the version you want you have to negotiate with him. Likewise he doesn't have the right to sell you a license like the license he has (ie a license to do a recording/performance) so if you want that you have to negotiate with them.
The Chevron Doctrine carried with it a two-step process for judges assessing vagaries in laws:

1. Is it vague about legal matters? For example, does the law seem to allow government agents to search somebody's house without good cause or notice? Then the judge, being an expert in law, should make the call.

2. If not 1, then it seems to be a subject matter vagary. For example (pulling from the dissent), is the Gray Squirrel population in the Pacific Northwest distinct enough from other Gray Squirrel populations in the US to qualify for protection? Should this be determined by geography, genetics, ecosystem similarity? How could we expect a judge to wisely rule on this unless they also have an advanced degree in biology and ecology?

Chevron recognized that matters of law should be decided by judges, but also accepts that we don't have idealized judges who always have perfect understanding. I expect we'll soon see glaring examples of imperfect (a.k.a., human) judges soon.
SCOTUS doesn’t get to tell Congress they’re making the wrong tradeoff on regulating the length of fishing vessels in the North Atlantic—assuming there’s any possible rational basis for such a law.

They do get to tell Congress they’ve stepped over the line in regulating speech about vaccines on the Internet, at least without a rationale that survives a level of review commonly called “strict scrutiny”.

I took your original post to be arguing this distinction wasn’t well founded in the text of the Constitution or historical understanding of it.

Sadly this wasn't a one off - Element has repeatedly lost deals to larger SIs who take our own FOSS software and compete with us with it, and win because they are better connected and don't have any of the costs of actually maintaining the software and so can charge a lower price. Hence shifting to AGPL to make it less desirable for SIs to commercialise us without first agreeing an AGPL exception.

A better approach would be if the purchaser mandated that the upstream project has to participate in the deal rather than being disintermediated by the SI, but we've seen very few instances of that happening.

You're free to speculate, but they have on multiple occasions said they don't train on private repos. Furthermore, there's no real incentive for them to do so, since (1) there are a lot of public repos, and (2) training on private repos opens them up to leaking things like private keys which would be a nightmare. It just doesn't make a lot of sense for them to do it.
Why do you think they're so skewed? Why are there so many women working in mathematics and particularly in cryptography compared to general computer engineering? Why are women so well represented in other hard science fields, both in absolute terms (especially in fields like biochemistry) and in relative terms compared to computer science and engineering?
Probably for the same reason that tech hasn't improved anything in a long time.

Tolerable Pizza delivery is ruined. The Internet is a walled wasteland now. Far too much "content" that doesn't need to exist. Everything is an ad.

So this was a few years back and they've wrangled a lot of the mess in. They've went with API versioning where you can set a flag in the request of something like ver=5 and you get a static version of the api that doesn't change. If you don't set an api version you get the latest version, which may break on updates.

I think for most users it's made feature observability much better.
This is a false line of thinking. Karpathy say's hallucinating is what makes LLMs special. LLMs are way more like compression with a mix of hallucination rather than anything else.

Plate tectonics, water and dry land are really necessary?
And some intelligent beings will radio-shout everywhere? Maybe they not know radio, and still are intelligent, or know the radio and being even more intelligent do not use it...
No, I'm just talking about the common case where you have some other stuff going on before or after your own audio processing code: a software instrument your framework provides, some AudioUnits or gstreamer nodes adding other effects, the whole device chain in the DAW that's hosting you, etc. All of those things need to get done within your window so you can't use the whole thing for yourself.

Most people learning audio programming aren't making a standalone audio app where they do all the processing, or at least not an interesting one. They're usually either making something like a plugin that ends up in somebody else's bus/graph, or something like a game or application that creates a bus/graph and shoves a bunch of different stuff into it.
