Did people just... do this by hand (in software), transistor by transistor, or was it laid out programmatically in some sense? As in, were segments created algorithmically, then repeated to obtain the desired outcome? CPU design baffles me, especially considering there are 134 BILLION transistors or so in the latest i7 CPU. How does the team even keep track of, work on, or even load the files to WORK on the CPUs?
Sure, but all of them are actually universal, so it doesn't matter which one you choose, unlike their being multiple regular package formats.
This is the first credible defence of the decision I have read. Do you know of any other examples?

There wasn't really much effort involved. Pick a few discs off the CD rack that I thought will clash interestingly, load up the cd tray of the cheap all-in-one turntable/tape deck/radio/cd unit I had in my room, hit the 'shuffle' button until it tells me it's gonna shuffle everything together, hit play.

I think it's still about equality. Voting rights are obtained, as you say, but that is far from the only kind of equality. I occasionally see examples of people saying "women can't do X" for all kinds of X, from "wear trousers" to "why do you have a job instead of letting a man earn for you?" or "why did you bother with this degree, women can't code!"

> The people benefitting from this (a few men mostly, oligarchs, "billionaires") are laughing while the lower echelons battle it out amongst themselves. You've now got generations of women fighting against "patriarchy" when they should be joining men and fighting against oligarchy.

The benefits from the pain-point you're identifying there go to a much broader group: people like me, specifically "landlords".

My guess, even before accidentally falling into the "landlord" category thanks to Brexit making me leave the country and me not selling the apartment, is that the best way to fix that is for governments to take responsibility for nearly the majority of home construction, and to take that responsibility seriously.

Yes, way more. In Kagan’s dissent she talks about how the court will now need to decide minutiae of regulation not clearly laid out in the text, involving expertise the court doesn’t have. I can’t seem to copy and paste from this PDF on mobile, but the dissent is well worth a read:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-451_7m58.pdf

EDIT: On desktop, pasting in from the dissent:

(Kagan's words) Consider a few examples from the caselaw. They will help show what a typical Chevron question looks like—or
really, what a typical Chevron question is. Because when
choosing whether to send some class of questions mainly to
a court, or mainly to an agency, abstract analysis can only
go so far; indeed, it may obscure what matters most. So I
begin with the concrete:

- Under the Public Health Service Act, the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) regulates “biological product[s],” including “protein[s].” 42 U. S. C. §262(i)(1).
When does an alpha amino acid polymer qualify as
such a “protein”? Must it have a specific, defined sequence of amino acids? See Teva Pharmaceuticals
USA, Inc. v. FDA, 514 F. Supp. 3d 66, 79–80, 93–106
(DC 2020).

- Under the Endangered Species Act, the Fish and Wild-
life Service must designate endangered “vertebrate fish
or wildlife” species, including “distinct population seg-
ment[s]” of those species. 16 U. S. C. §1532(16); see
§1533. What makes one population segment “distinct”
from another? Must the Service treat the Washington
State population of western gray squirrels as “distinct”
because it is geographically separated from other western gray squirrels? Or can the Service take into account that the genetic makeup of the Washington population does not differ markedly from the rest? See
Northwest Ecosystem Alliance v. United States Fish
and Wildlife Serv., 475 F. 3d 1136, 1140–1145, 1149
(CA9 2007).

- Under the Medicare program, reimbursements to hospitals are adjusted to reflect “differences in hospital
wage levels” across “geographic area[s].” 42 U. S. C.
§1395ww(d)(3)(E)(i). How should the Department of
Health and Human Services measure a “geographic
area”? By city? By county? By metropolitan area? See
Bellevue Hospital Center v. Leavitt, 443 F. 3d 163, 174–
176 (CA2 2006).

- Congress directed the Department of the Interior and
the Federal Aviation Administration to reduce noise
from aircraft flying over Grand Canyon National
Park—specifically, to “provide for substantial restoration of the natural quiet.” §3(b)(1), 101 Stat. 676; see
§3(b)(2). How much noise is consistent with “the natural quiet”? And how much of the park, for how many
hours a day, must be that quiet for the “substantial restoration” requirement to be met? See Grand Canyon
Air Tour Coalition v. FAA, 154 F. 3d 455, 466–467,
474–475 (CADC 1998).

> Just keep in mind that the Chevron case allowed the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the United States to literally throw out the US constitution and say that the US constitution does not apply to you or protect you and anyone on the border

No, it did't. The regulations were approved in 1953 and upheld in 1976 ( https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/428/543/ ), before the Chevron deference.

> Chevron is an American tragedy. It's fixed and should be fixed forever.

Chevron deference is the reason the US works at all. Without it, we'll get back into a morass of endless lawsuits that stop any improvement.

> I plan to continue its development regardless of revenue

I would respectfully suggest that this can be understood by some as a promise, and I think it is not a promise anyone should make. Doing things for free is not sustainable. We all need to earn a living, that's how our current societies are built. So I really hope you will get enough subscribers at reasonable price points to make this sustainable.
As an GenAI skeptic, I think this is a very cool finding. My experience with AI tools is that they are complete bullshit artists. But to a large extent that's just a result of the way they are trained. If this description of how the data is structured is correct, it indicates that these programs do encode a real model about the world. Perhaps alternative ways of training these same models, or fixing the data afterwards, will result in more truthful models.
It's really not interesting to say that a major ISP doesn't have capacity for all of their customers to use their advertised bandwidth at once. That extreme just doesn't happen, and so the cost/benefit of preparing for it just isn't there. Some oversubscription is normal. And when I said typically overprovisioned, I meant relative to actual observed/projected load rather than theoretical worst-case.

For their upstream links to actually be maxed out (thus "experiencing congestion" as Hikikomori put it) with any regularity is more remarkable—suggests they screwed up their capacity planning or just don't care. I kind of expect that from Comcast but not ISPs in general.

For those links to be of varying capacity (like the 5G/Wifi networks the article mentions) would be truly surprising to me.

Show HN: Save content to Google Sheets with one click
Using the extension, you can predefine the destination sheet and column where you want to save content, and then save/add content from any webpage with a right-click. The destination location becomes an option in your right-click context menu.

Also, I just added functionality to the Pro version find all emails, links, and image URLs on a page and save those directly to a Google Sheets location (re: above). Or, save the lists to multiple sheets or columns at the same time if you have a group configured in the extension.I wanted to make it more of a nice experience and low-friction to save over to GSheets. And then leverage Sheets for automations and additional filtering. I feel like trying to do all of that within an extension makes for a poor experience.

re: permissions

The extension uses an embedded Google File picker to allow you to select what Sheets to allow access to. Until you do that, the extension doesn't have r/w access. The integration with Google (OAuth) has been verified and gone through their review process to only request/use minimal perms for the extension to function as expected. The extension only has access to the files that you allow it to have access to.

> Predatory publishers? Please. Self publishing has never been easier.

You can try to paint academic, research, technical and professional papers authors with that brush. I think you'll find they strongly disagree with that characterization and are fairly tired of pushing back on it.

They publish where their careers mandate. The publishers who own those journals know those authors don't have any meaningful choice. Not that that stops the flow of industry talking points and mischaracterizations.
feels like a neural net could detect these by scoring and ranking the relevance of the content of a reference paper to the content of the paper citing it. maybe it's time for a citizen science project to dismantle these academic fraud rings? they form networks that capture academic administrations and have significant downstream effects on policy and education. just by identifying the worst and most egregious offenders, leaving the merely dodgy alone, it could break up the hold they have on institutions.

It's not hard to be a sophisticated investor when your spouse is one of the decision-makers influencing major stock movements - a la CHIPS Act.

It would be naïve to believe spouses never discuss pending legislation that might financially benefit them both.
What paradigm is available to replace it? Not a Constitutional scholar (though I love the Oyez Project's podcast of SCOTUS oral arguments!), but surely you need the Court to apply a higher standard of review when Congress treads near free speech protections than when they're setting admiralty law.

I suppose one could say, "Just read the text! Congress shall make no law..."

But I think even the strictest originalist would concur that the Framers understood there would be times when Constitutional absolutes would come into conflict and reasonable judgments made, by the Executive, Congress, or the Court.

Mine would be, 30 is not the peak of the hill for a man like you've been told your whole life. Before, people saw a boy when they looked at you. I don't understand it really, but it really does work like that. Once youre in your thirties it's like a switch gets flipped and people respect you more, while also expecting more competence. A man in his 30s is in his prime. Don't waste the next decade of your life. You'll get some of your best opportunities over the next 10 years.

You should definitely get married and start a family at some point in the next 6 years, if you haven't already, but be very selective in the process of picking a mate. You will have that leeway now, because when people see you they see a man, it's a very different in surprising ways. Seriously, I can't stress this enough, it is really strange, we expect it to happen at 18 or 21 and then we start to think it never will, but it's like just having an age over 30 makes you more attractive to employers, friends and women. You may not believe me but you'll see it soon.
It was never allowed to be challenged post 1984. Searching cellphones and seizures only started in the 2000s. Before 1953 people didn't even need CPB. Your counterpoint is outrageous.
The Chevron decision was only from 1984. Many red and blue states had already determined it wasn't appropriate at the state supreme court level. This is a decent overview from last year.

Legal Eagle in his YouTube analysis on the matter said that corporations will absolutely be able to venue shop for favourable judges.
That doesn't sound right. Chevron doesn't mean the government can do whatever they want - the court always has the authority to step in and say "Hey, that's unconstitutional," when it is actually unconstitutional.

It was already the case that the courts were having to delegate to expertise they didn’t have (this is a frequent occurrence and not something new) the difference is previously courts had to delegate to government experts and now they don’t.
Yeah, this is just another in a long list of "this is why we can't have nice things". It's not really that different from the Bay Area deciding that they'll give sheriffs the right to decide who gets a concealed carry warrant and then one of those sheriffs deciding that she'd prefer getting paid to give them out.
They didn't test that claim at all though. Vision isn't some sort of 1D sliding scale with every vision condition lying along one axis.

First of all myopia isn't 'seeing fine details as blurry' - it's nearsightedness - and whatever else this post tested it definitely didn't test depth perception.

And second - inability to see fine details is a distinct/different thing from not being able to count intersections and the other things tested here. That hypothesis, if valid, would imply that improving the resolution of the image that the model can process would improve its performance on these tasks even if reasoning abilities were the same. That - does not make sense. Plenty of the details in these images that these models are tripping up on are perfectly distinguishable at low resolutions. Counting rows and columns of blank grids is not going to improve with more resolution.

I mean, I'd argue that the phrasing of the hypothesis ("At best, like that of a person with myopia") doesn't make sense at all. I don't think a person with myopia would have any trouble with these tasks if you zoomed into the relevant area, or held the image close. I have a very strong feeling that these models would continue to suffer on these tasks if you zoomed in. Nearsighted != unable to count squares.
I'd suspect there's loopholes here, the trading will instead be done by a hedge fund on behalf of the congress member(s)
I spent some time trying to prove two go binaries were the same in the name of reproducible builds but couldn’t figure out if it was possible, even though I had built both myself and knew they were in effect the exact same. Go binaries have some sort of randomness (timestamp? Map entry? No idea) that I couldn’t pin down. Sometimes the hash of the binaries were the same and sometimes they weren’t. Short of cataloguing and hashing every file that went into the build I couldn’t figure it out and gave up.

> Any effort by Congress to police itself is really just political theater for consumption by the unsuspecting voter.

I heard an interesting proposal to have a bill that grandfathers in sitting members of congress. That way they get credit for changing the system but they don't lose the benefits themselves. It's ugly but it's more likely to eventually get the job done.
I think they're insiders if they know something's about to happen the general public isn't privy to that will affect the market. I don't think you need to be part of a company to be an insider. For instance, you could be part of a regulatory board knowing you were about to open up restrictions on something that would enable a company to make money in a sector it was previously outlawed from and it would be only natural to invest in that company before the regulatory change went public.
My understanding is that ambiguity in regulations was decided by agency. This would be an incentive for legislature/regulators to define in excruciating detail the precise boundaries of the regulations which definitely means more. Perhaps even several orders of magnitude more regulation.
18 months is nothing though, a true statistical analysis would look at all of the stocks held by Congress members for decades, if that data is even available.

> ...a 10 year old Dell laptop running latest Windows

Not Dell but Lenovo and not Windows but Linux but for the rest the comparison is just fine to me. If it were not for the switch to 64 bits I'd still be using a 19 year old IBM Thinkpad T42p - I have three of them - daily. I still use them but the things are hampered by their 32 bits Pentium M CPUs. The keyboard and screen still beats whatever other notebook I've tried though...

Is anyone here still running a 2005 Apple laptop? That'd be a PowerBook G4?

> ...or a Samsung Galaxy S3 running the latest android.

I'm using one of those, a Galaxy SIIIneo running Android 11 - not the latest but not out of date either. It actually works quite well for a 10 year old phone, the battery easily lasts for a week with occasional use (and it is user-replaceable when the need arrives). Of course it is not running a Samsung Android distribution, those stopped somewhere around Android 4.4 on this model if I'm not mistaken. No, it runs LineageOS 18.1 with OTA updates, the last update was about a month ago.

So yes, Apple does offer longer support for its hardware than many other vendors. They are outclassed though by the longevity of AOSP-derived distributions like LineageOS on mobile and by Linux distributions on PC-type hardware - which includes Apple hardware, I'm typing this on a "late 2009 27" iMac" running Debian. The thing has been out of support by Apple for quite a while with MacOS 10.13 'High Sierra' being the last supported version. I managed to get 10.15 'Catalina' running on it but that is where it stops. It has no problems whatsoever running Debian 'Sid' (the 'unstable' latest version which in practice is not all that unstable, really) and will keep on doing so for the forthcoming years.

Seems likely. It’s at least another turn of the crank in the normalization of a quasi-legislative judiciary ever less concerned with seeming impartial.

Lawsuits are costly in time and money: on balance one would expect more lawsuits as the judiciary becomes more powerful, and fewer the easier it becomes to predict how judges will rule. Which tendency is stronger remains to be seen.
