The operations can and should be a lot cleaner than they were in the 1970s and Andrew Forrest has been committed to making mining cleaner from end to end (including the post processing of raw materials, in the case of iron ore to look for better ways to produce steel).

100% carbon neutral is a big ask, but it's possible to get a lot of the way there, and there's the parallel path of using large scale mining approaches to create green hydrogen derivitives in excess to export to places that can use it.

The hate comes from other billionaires who have lesser ethics, Forrest has a tendancy to call out colossal greed at the expense of the environment and people (he took the time to get an earned doctoral degree in marine biology) which makes the Clive Palmer's, Gina Rinehart's, Rupert Murdoch's, Kerry Packer's et al look bad. They enjoy swinging back.

These are fledgling industries and if someone invests literal billions into developing new unproven technology it matters if someone else takes that IP and makes a great deal of money from it with none of that flowing back to the risk taker who has gambled on those returns coming in and underwriting other developments in the same domain.

and not without risk:

FFI is currently backed by 10% of FMG profits. This has led to analysts at bank Credit Suisse recommending in January that investors ditch shares in the profitable iron ore mining company, due to a lack of clarity on FFI’s project economics and the likelihood that its developments would be a “cash burn into the medium-term”.

That is true, and I also believe there really are vast fortunes that could be unlocked with asteroid mining. However, asteroid mining is absolutely nothing like colonizing Mars, aside from the fact that they both involve space travel.

CUDA is absolutely not equivalent to Windows as a platform. It's essentially a single API, not a huge, multilayer and futzy platform with multiple weirdly behaved APIs.

Moreover, companies aren't buying GPUs to keep their huge stable of legacy applications running. They want to create new AI applications and CUDA is a simple API for doing that (at a certain level).

I have a weird career path.

My late dad hated insurance. He told me it was a scam, so I hated it too. My first job after graduating was in an insurance company.

I hated MLM because they're scam. My second job was building an MLM system.

Before smartphones were popular, premium SMS (that charges a dollar for 1 "fortune teller" SMS) was a booming business that preyed on gullible people. I hated it. My 3rd job was building a backend for that SMS thing.

I never intentionally go for that kind of company (except the insurance company because I had just graduated and scrambled to get any job), but somehow, the company I work for always does projects in the things I hate.

Talk about the law of attraction...

I thought so too, but for a while I had 2 144Hz monitors on my Mac Pro[1] and very much noticed it in the UI, window dragging was smoother, browser scrolling too, absolutely noticeable.

[1] Then Apple released the Pro Display and Big Sur and people wondered "how does the math work for a 6K display and bandwidth?" The answer, they completely fucking broke DP 1.4. Hundreds of complaints, different monitors, different GPUs, all broke by Big Sur to this day just so Apple could make their 6K display work.

My screens could do 4K HDR10 @ 144 Hz. After Big Sur? SDR @ 95 Hz, HDR @ 60Hz. Ironically I got better results telling my monitors to only advertise DP 1.2 support, then it was SDR@120, HDR@95Hz.

Studiously ignored by Apple because they broke the standard to eke out more bandwidth.

>Sovereignity resides in the people and there's no monarch so it's a republic

Sovereignty residing in the people is not a feature of a republic. The only thing that defines a republic is that it isn't a monarchy.

If it's a republic and the government is elected by a democratic process, then it's a "democratic republic". And you don't need a republic to have a democratic state either: the UK and Japan are examples of this (both are monarchies).
Legalese - even cheaper than engineering, apparently.
1. you do not need to be a highly specialized target user to detect latency between pressing a key on a MIDI keyboard and the corresponding sound being produced.

2. 3ms is typical in-air latency between a typical DAW user and their near-field monitors, so claims about sensitivity to times much lower than 5msec should be taken with some skepticism

3. In live contexts, many drum + bass pairings have more than 10ms of air latency between them, so ditto #2

4. On the other hand, no good reason to add to latency

5. For performance purposes, jitter is much worse than latency. Pipe organ players rapidly learn to deal with even whole seconds of latency, but almost nobody can deal with jitter (essentially, variable, unpredictable latency)

6. There are no sub-ms issues that will cause phase and frequency distortion. Those come from DSP errors, not handling of latency, which is just about always a constant, fixed feature of the data signal path. You may be thinking of stuff like comb filtering, but this is not related to the latency in the signal path in a correct setup.

For context switch timestamps would I be using something like perf on Linux?

Would buffer level checking entail, eg. checking snd_pcm_avail() when my audio code begins and ends (assuming I'm talking directly to hardware rather than PipeWire)? Dunno if PipeWire has a similar API considering it's a delay-based audio daemon and probably checking snd_pcm_avail when a client requests would slow it down.
Obvious throwaway account.

I had around 10 interviews via HN jobs, and around 50ish through the startup match making thing.

7/10 job interviews were fake jobs that actually didn't exist and where there's not even a budget available for them. These jobs were abused as early customer feedback and I didn't believe what happened there. I was basically braindumped.

The interviews from the startup matchmaking site were also kind of ridiculous. More bullshit consultants there than actual founders or actual developers that could or want to be building anything. These consultants want to hire you as a cheap developer, not as a founder, and definitely not as a shareholder. Happened so many times that I am not using this site for anything startup related anymore.

In general I'd argue that HN has a huge vetting problem, and by vetting I mean whether or not the intent of the people attending there come with honest intentions as to both their experience (which pretty much is almost always totally made up if you discuss more technical problems) and the idea of putting a lot of work into a problem to solve it (a _lot_ of people think that having a startup gig on the weekend, but only afternoons, leads to anything successful).

Most people come with so high expectations that it feels like being inside a ponzi community. Startups are a percentage game of luck, and you can only get an advantage if you have the right team at the right time, which implies that teams have to be absurdly motivated by a problem.

The people I found on this site are the opposite of that. They see it as a way to make quick cash because "they heard this is how to get rich fast".

I was very disappointed and am now much more involved in our local startup related meetups and events, and found a lot of team members through that.
And all of this is controlled by your microbiome which is always ignored. I really wish more money was put towards researching that. It's literally our body's bioreactor.
I got my current job by posting on a "who wants to be hired?" thread. I was contacted by the person who ended up being my manager and got fast tracked through the interviewing process. It's at a company that I probably never would have heard of otherwise (Fullstory), but I like it enough that I'm still there ~4.5 years later.

On the flip side, I can think of three people who were hired via "who's hiring?" posts I put up.
One of my pet peeves is that graphics programming does not generally enjoy this level of rigor like audio does, despite arguably being also real-time. This is doubly true for UI programming, I'm not aware of any UI toolkits designed with real-time in mind.

I would love to see a UI system that has predictable low-latency real-time perf, so you could confidently achieve something like single frame latency on 144Hz display.
I wouldn't want a collaborative text editor that sends all my data to their servers, but I have incredible respect that they're very open and transparent about this fact on their website.

You don't see that kind of behaviour from Microsoft and Apple.
Glad to see you back. Signed up, and unlike when I was using TB in the early days, my resume should hopefully be the kind of thing companies are looking for.
Yep, a lot of potential contributors. Though, my test was of a single plain 8x unrolled loop doing nothing else, running for tens of thousands of iterations to take a total of ~0.1ms, i.e. should trivially cache, and yet there's consistent inconsistency.

Did some 'perf stat'ting, comparing the same test with "cmp eax,1000" vs "cmp ax,1000"; per instruction, idq.mite_uops goes 0.04% → 35%, and lsd.uops goes 90% → 54%; so presumably sometimes somehow the loop makes into LSD at which point dropping out of it is hard, while other times it perpetually gets stuck at MITE? (test is of 10 instrs - 8 copies of the cmp, and dec+jne that'd get fused, so 90% uops/instr makes sense)
Oh 2018 Intel macs butterfly keyboards were anything but good hardware. Cables used to wear out extremely quickly back then. There were a few other highly annoying quirks. Only by 2020 or so, hardware got really stable and pleasant to use. I heard M2 Airs had had overheating issues though, although i never owned one.

This group presented an abstract at ACR in the fall prior so it's nice to see it published now. https://acrabstracts.org/abstract/cxcl13-t-cell-differentiat... if you don't have journal access to the Nature article.

Kudos to them for landing a nature publication but I really would temper this level of excitement (??a top link on HN??) at a basic science research publication discussed in a press release from a university highlighting it's researchers.

My read is it is down to decreased CXCL13 expression and type I interferon expression in blood of a small number of patients, controls, and cell culture which gives direction for further study. CXCL13 was published as a possible RA biomarker half a decade ago and crickets since then clinically. Is it causal or a consequence of chronic inflammation? Type I interferon signature has been looked at heavily for over a decade and is clearly relevant in SLE but still only just over about half of lupus patients have it and the signature is by definition broad expression of hundreds of genes that affect innate and adaptive immune system components.

We DO need better treatments for lupus patients but it's a very variable disease in severity, clinically, and in terms of biomarkers making it difficult. I mean the best drug that everyone with lupus should be on barring a good reason is an old antimalarial (that doesn't treat COVID) and then we add to it. If you are interested in other new-ish therapies for lupus take a look at anifrolumab, belimumab, voclosporin, and even newer CAR T stuff. Important to consider the manifestations being treated with those in the studies e.g. belimumab with skin, joint, kidney but nothing for hematologic/cardiac/neurologic manifestations.
It seems to me they've brought up myopia only to make it more approachable to people how blurry something is, implying they believe models work with a blurry image just like a nearsighted person sees blurry images at a distance.

While myopia is common, it's not the best choice of analogy and "blurry vision" is probably clear enough.

Still, I'd only see it as a bad choice of analogy — I can't imagine anyone mistaking optical focus problems for static image processing problems — so in the usual HN recommendation, I'd treat their example in the most favourable sense.
Indeed.

So why are you making irrelevant comments which imply you support a racist?

the business knows the right path better than you do. If its trying to go a direction that you didn't have in mind, you're smarter to go with that direction than to try to force the path to the one you had planned.

I don’t get it. If your business slowly goes down the shitter, it might be either because it follows the path you planned, or because it doesn’t. If you’re smart you should be able to recognize both of these realities and correct accordingly.

My take on LLMs for learning coding is that they provide a fantastic resource to keep open in a window to provide context and explanation when needed, and they can therefore make self learning significantly more effective.

After a bit more research I found this course which is a self learning boot camp on Udemy and comes recommended.

Took you two whole minutes, I'll have to pick something more obscure next time.
cyclictest(8) is the canonical tool for starting out down this pathway. That measures basic kernel stuff relevant to this area of inquiry.

However, since actual context switch times depend a lot on working set size, ultimately you can't measure this stuff accurately unless you instrument the actual application code you are working with. A sample playback engine is going to have very different performance characteristics than an EQ plugin, even if there is theoretically more actual computation going on in the latter.

How Digital Money Really Works
Buffer level makes almost no sense.

All that matters is/are:

1. how soon after the device deadline (typically marked by an interrupt) until a kernel thread wakes up to deal with the device? (you have no control over this)

2. what is the additional delay until a user-space application thread wakes up to deal with the required data flow? (you have very little control over this, assuming you've done the obvious and used the correct thread scheduling class and priority)

3. does user space code read & write data before the next device deadline? (you have a lot of control over this)

As noted above, cyclictest is the canonical tool for testing the kernel side of this sort of thing.

It’s hard because it’s hardware, but generally speaking people are happy to pay for a finished product vs build themselves (which is also more expensive without economy of scale). Until you reach the scale of an Arduino, then knock offs become an issue.
