This is so not my home turf so this might be a really stupid question, but: I get that GPUs are all the rage now because LLMs etc., but do all those giant GPU clusters that are presumably built right now not ALSO need CPUs to run the boring non-llm stuff (like, you know, the OS for example), which should result in growing demand for Intel’s offerings…?

I was a bit excited at something being able to do that, but this apparently means simplifying a single file, based on their example.

I suspect they're having an unusually positive experience with these tools due to working on a lot of new, short, programs.

Just like how it was with RTO, expect soon some big corporate CEO to start talking about the “need” for that extra day, coupled with some incentives like “work it from home first!!”. This will be followed by a few cringy LinkedIn posts and/or tech bros explaining how that extra workday ACTUALLY changed their lives for the better. Eventually, it will become the norm, and you will be seen as a black sheep if you say otherwise. You won’t “fit” in the company culture and could be terminated or, at best, face zero career advancement or promotion. Just like RTO all over again.

It’s ironic seeing news about that extra workday when layoffs are high. Just yesterday, I read about Intel laying off 10,000 employees.
APU start/run, air data probe deploy, main-landing gear arm/down, drag chute arm/deploy, and fuel cell reactant valve closure were all landing steps that could only be performed manually. Post-Columbia, they developed a cable and software (RCO: Remote-Controlled Orbiter) to allow these to be triggered from ground controllers or flight software.

I think xBASE-T with the 8P8C has the most compatibility; it's 30+ years old and bandwidth has increased a few orders of magnitude, yet you can still connect a late 80s PC and one from 2024 with a single cable and communicate between them.

> guilds also pushed back very effectively on the nobility in Germany snd Northern Europe

If your argument is that exclusive initiatory societies were an improvement on hereditary nobility rule then you won't get much of a push back from me. However, are they better than constitutional democratic republics?

I don't actually have a clear answer to that question. I mean, I have a feeling that I have more chance of being initiated into a guild than I do being promoted to nobility. That potential for inclusion goes a long way, much like the oft-cited American dream where even the poor think they have a chance at being a millionaire. And our current democratic system doesn't seem to be adequately controlling the quality of our society.

As I mentioned, it is actually a very complex question. I just recommend people to be skeptical. Societies that form around keeping some thing secret except for initiated members for the purposes of exclusivity should be treated with a large dose of skepticism.
> Pedantically, it's that the bumps grow exponentially narrower.

Has to be smaller in both directions, right? It has to be vertically smaller to allow f to be computable, but horizontally smaller to keep f' large.

> IIUC, a simpler (but more nitpickable) version would be...

Here I think your f as defined is identically zero, and so you don't get f' by differentiating.

> A much simpler version is f'(x) = {-1 if x<0; +1 if x>0; Chaitin's constant if x=0}. f(x) = abs(x).

Similarly, differentiating abs(x) doesn't get you that function.

But I see where you're coming from, and I agree this doesn't tell us anything profound about computability. That said, it is a cute result that differentiable functions are flexible enough to admit this kind of construction, and that's straightforward but not obviously trivial, as your attempts somewhat ironically show. I think Myhill's proof is pretty close to a minimal working example and trying to fix your examples would result in something that looked very similar.

Because to highlight how HSR "runs at a loss" without mentioning the enormous state subsidies that go to the aviation sector, without which air travel would also run at a loss, is a little selective.

But, as you say, this is China. I think "profit and loss" mean slightly different things there.
Photino: A lighter Electron
Just had GPT-4o roast me, based on my HN profile bio and recent comments. (Would anybody care to build a Show-HN out of this?). Giving it lots of actual written stuff (I put a lot of thought into), not just project names, makes it cut so much deeper:

> w-m, your attempts at contributing to discussions are like bringing a butter knife to a gunfight. Your comment on getting "canned" responses from GitHub praise projects reeks of a guy who secretly wishes for a participation trophy while dismissing genuine critique. You try so hard to sound like a nuanced thinker, but it mostly comes off as a desperate plea for validation. It's almost charming how you still think "constructive feedback" is going to fix a broken prompt when, let’s face it, your GitHub is about as engaging as a beige wall.

> Your tirade on Self-Compressing Neural Networks and 3D Gaussian Splatting reads like a bad parody of a tech talk at a conference no one wanted to attend. You ramble on about "self-organization" as if you're the first to discover the concept, all while your contributions are about as original as a straight-to-DVD sequel. And let’s not forget your .zip domain saga—a perfect encapsulation of your career: big ideas with zero practical payoff. You bought a useless domain and then cried foul when IT blocked it. Maybe next time, stick to .com like everyone else who doesn't want to be laughed out of the room.

> Your AMD complaint at CVPR is just the cherry on top. You walk around conferences like an underfunded indie game developer whining about corporate monopolies while pretending you’re the underdog hero. Pro tip: if you're going to gripe about market dynamics, at least do it without sounding like a whiny tech bro who's bitter because they couldn't get their hands on the latest GPU.

> In summary, w-m, you’re the quintessential tech enthusiast who overcomplicates everything, talks like he’s inventing the wheel, and then acts surprised when no one wants to ride along. Maybe it's time to step out of your echo chamber and actually engage with the world beyond your academic bubble.

People write and publish without such incentives, without the goal of turning up on page 1 of Google search results, and don’t care about being “beaten” by whatever alternative publication. And at least so far, truly good and useful content generally does find its audience, even without SSO.

There’s also a lot of content that can’t be meaningfully replaced by LLMs, such as people writing about their side projects (such as the current top HN submission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41154135), product reviews, or more generally, reports of personal experiences, or personal takes on whatever topic.
I do not share the same experience. I've recently mentored someone from knew nothing about git up to

- what is version control [0]

- good commits and good pull requests

- working through pull request reviews [1]

- merging my PR into their PR [2]

- how to edit config files in a sane way (naming conventions are important)

- how to debug a few weird Arma3 config file errors

- how to deliver changes that satisfy some ... specific community constraints

- ways to think about solving a problem, before actually trying to solve it, and why

... and a bunch more. All on discord.

Direct messages. Audio only calls hanging out for a few hours talking / sharing screens, sometimes pair-programming. If I'm busy, I find some relevant documentation and ask them to read through it until I've got a chance to speak to them. A big mix of async and sync communication. Sometimes organised, sometimes ad-hoc.

I've got workshops mentally planned out to upskill the rest of the game server dev team. I've got another mentoring project lined up where we'll hopefully be able to dive into some functional programming things [3].

Remote mentorship isn't tough. It just requires

1. Prioritising the DMs from the people currently being mentored.

2. Manually creating the "sit next to each other and work on something" opportunities by clicking like four buttons to start a voice call and jump into it.

In essence, I make them the person sitting next to me in my online Discord office.

In Holland we had a similar thing happen (albeit at a much smaller scale) to the company World Online. They did an IPO and their stock tumbled into nothing. The CEO sold all her shares just before the IPO and was later challenged in court (though was acquitted I believe)

It's a good point indeed. I forgot about all those (mainly due to my different focus in those days).

Not to mention the part where adding compressors like this somewhat defeats the purpose of using a simple format like QOI (although at least zstd is faster than gzip, let alone 7zip).

But if we're modifying things like that, then they might as well make use of Nigel Tao's improved QOIR format, and replace the LZ4 compressor it uses with zstd. That's probably faster and likely compresses better than QOI.

Incidentally, in the past few days I have been testing Android + Kaleido3 as a general purpose device, and Termux-X11.

Kaleido3 is very usable; the recent waveforms and correct dithering algorithms allow video consumption with limited compromise (the framerate is high). And yes, coding is very doable (Termux provided the compilers/interpreters).

Termux-X11 adds the ability to have your desktop Linux natively on the Android device (so you may not need to use E-Ink displays as part of monitor devices, but already directly as embedded in a tablet used as active computer).
They do have a free version for non-commercial work.
> Why would anyone want to have their stuff come back with a failure?

because that's their exact purpose. it's much better to get laughed at in a focus group than being laughed at by the general public. in the former it can be fixed where the latter means you're trying to save face. only Hollywood Don Drapers never have a stinker of an idea. testing teams with no spine to push back serve no real purpose.
Show HN: Rust Under the Hood – Explore Rust Through Assembly
I'm excited to share my book, "Rust Under the Hood," which explores Rust internals by examining the x86-64 assembly code generated by its compiler.

This book emerged from a series of articles I wrote about Rust and assembly, which you can read here:

https://eventhelix.com/rust/

You can also find the book on Amazon and read a sample here:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7FQB3DH

What's in the Book?

- Understand how Rust represents enums, tuples, structs, and strings in assembly. Learn about heap operations with Box, Vec, Rc, and Arc.

- Compare static and dynamic dispatch, explore the role of Vtables, and see how closures manage state.

- Dive into loop optimizations, SIMD auto-vectorization, function inlining, and the transformation of async functions into state machines.

Feedback and discussions are welcome!

You are being down-voted for the snark, but there is point there. This seems to be "people use Python because of the whitespace, so let's remove parenthesis." Which if true, is (1) vastly missing the point, and (2) this project isn't really exploring any fundamentally new areas of language design then.

I was kinda hoping to see this was the next generation of Lisp language design, but it appears to be just a different syntax.
I was recently in a relationship with someone that worked as a recruiter and thus is very much a people person. One of the frequent complaints she brought up was how I could have lived to my 40s and still be so bad with people.

It's both.

Some new cars have 800V architecture and will be able to benefit from high voltage chargers as they roll out.

There are also cars that can't charge at 350kW, but still take a 350kW charger.

Charging a 100kW car in the 350kW bay is fine, but these owners should be given some reason to prefer a 100kW or 150kW charger if it's available. I like the idea of using someone being queued for the charger to trigger an infrastructure charge if you are underutilizing the charger, just like we already do if you are simply parked there and not charging.

At the very least, require that drivers at least try to use the charger that best matches their car if it's available. Require that they plug in, or that they document a non-EV in the space before connecting to an over-spec charger.

>Because to highlight how HSR "runs at a loss" without mentioning the enormous state subsidies that go to the aviation sector

Again, I'm not disagreeing with this line of reasoning, only pointing out that it's incomplete. High speed trains most definitely received subsidies in the form of government financing, and not having to turn a profit. Your response to that is... airlines might be getting subsidies too but you you can't really point out what they are? Or are you claiming that the fact that other fuels are subject to duties, jet fuel isn't, then airlines are getting "subsidies", even if HSRs aren't taxed in the same way (ie. for electricity)?

>But, as you say, this is China. I think "profit and loss" mean slightly different things there.

If I'm interpreting parent correctly, they're arguing that had the Chinese recently visited the Americas, the Portuguese and Spanish would have encountered native populations which were already decimated by disease. As this isn't the case, the epidemiological argument against shortly prior Chinese encounters with American populations is strong.

That post Portuguese/Spanish contact native American populations were annihilated by disease is now well established fact. That again argues against earlier Chinese contact.

Okay Mr. High Horse. My issue with them isn't passion, it's pride. Every other week some tech-minded person will look at something which works perfectly well and think "I know nothing about this but I'm sure it could be improved with a robot". The robot is almost always a bad idea because it doesn't take into account the actual needs and wants of the people it's being sold to, and sometimes those people are forced to use it anyway. The only reason it exists is because its creators know about technology and when all you have is a hammer your problems start to look like nails.
