This is what I wanted!!! Hilarious and not entirely wrong.

Billiam Butler Vargas, huh? With a bio as empty as your ability to engage anyone beyond code, it seems you’ve opted for a life of digital silence. Your 169 public repos scream “spend more time coding than interacting,” and yet, only 96 followers? Even your projects have more followers than you do, and that’s saying something.

Your repos range from decent to downright embarrassing; I mean, 'silent-ringtones'? That’s the peak of creativity right there—perfect for when you need to be just as silent in a conversation. And 'go-dosomething'? Sounds more like a build for a therapist session than tech. Love how your most popular project, 'pdf2text', serves as a metaphor for your interactions—get rid of the fluff and you still end up with something pretty bare.

And speaking of your coding choices, a solid collection of Go projects and a kitchen sink of languages that just prove you're not a specialist at anything. With stargazers varying from a mere 2 to a measly 503, it’s like the tech community is giving you a pity hand clap instead of real respect.

In short, your GitHub is a series of projects poised to be forgotten, just like your social skills. Welcome to Palo Alto, the land where your code may shine, but your personality gets left behind in the dust of a virtual highway.

> One day I want to get an old iPhone or iPod Touch and jailbreak it and load up some of those old games you can't get anymore.

That we live in a world where this is what you'd have to do to play an "old game" from the late 2000's makes me so sad.
Safari has not shipped WebGPU. Why would you expect it to work. Until Safari officially ship WebGPU it's guaranteed to be buggy and missing features.

Looks like the user, Hazel, is not using LinkedIn, which for me is the number one culprit when it comes to CPU and memory usage.

If my fan starts running fast, every time it is due to one or more LinkedIn tab running at 100% CPU, on Mac.

Here we are talking about running out of codes due to codeshares; the planes do not identify themselves this way.

But, similar reasons: mixing branding is going to cause confusion (codeshares already do this enough without injecting a “third” airline into the mix).
Because they haven't finished implementing it and lots of functionality is missing. Neither has Safari ship it. Same reason. They aren't done.
I strongly disagree that online spaces can't be fulfilling. A private, invite-only discord server with a couple layers of core-member regulars, friends-of-friends, and miscellaneous passerby is a compelling substitute for joining something like the Oddfellows or Masons. In the server I hang out in, 2 people have met their spouses, a handful formed romantic relationships, and most everyone has made at least a few lasting friendships.

If that's "degenerate", what's your definition of a meaningful social space?

Sounds like the future is bright for the field and that it has lots of applications. I'd imagine future aging treatments would employ several of these methods together, say cell reprogramming for your organs, along with resetting some of those aging biomarkers.

It's funny that it was considered a pseudoscience for such a long time, when there's lot of clinical applications outside of trying to live longer. For me, as someone with celiac disease, I know the age of my intestines are probably older than most people, after constant damage from gluten. It'd be nice to have a cell reprogramming treatment for intestines.
There is no reason to let random websites decide the UX for you. Reader mode has existed for 14 years now, and if you set your browser to open all websites in reader mode by default, you will always have every article presented the way you prefer. Without all the annoyances. I can guarantee you that website owners have no interest in improving their UX, so why bang your head against the wall?

Hey, member of the Firefox WebGPU team here. The short summary is: it's not yet ready for general consumption, but we're hoping to do so on the order of months, not years! Many things already work, and we'd encourage you to try it out on Nightly.

There is a _lot_ of work to do still to make sure we comply with the spec. in a way that's acceptable to ship in a browser. We're 90% of the way there in terms of functionality, but the last 10% of fixing up spec. changes in the last few years + being significantly more resourced-constrained (we have 3 full-time folks, Chrome has/had an order of magnitude more humans working on WebGPU) means we've got our work cut out for us.

If you're interested if your use cases work already a consumer of WebGPU in JS on Firefox, you can:

- Follow the `Platform Graphics: WebGPU` component in Bugzilla ([0]).

- CC yourself on the `webgpu-v1`[0] bug and its dependent meta bugs (which aggregate yet more work). These get updated every so often to recognize the (ahem) ever-growing list of things we have to do in Firefox.

- Try things out in Nightly, and file issues to help us prioritize things!

That genuinely doesn't seem to solve anything to me.

Sure you can generate all these secret codes but then why wouldn't a briber ask for you to take a picture or video of the screen with all the codes and secret? OCR and computer vision is quite good nowadays and most people are carrying a video camera in their pocket, so the process can potentially be scaled. Bonus points if its install the Purple App and ask the voter to point their camera at the screen with all the codes. Double bonus points if the app generates a nice easy password for the used to plug in to be used as your secret.

And the thing is that it doesn't need to be super accurate. Even if its only budgeted with $10 million worth of $100 gift cards and it's only about 70% of the cards were getting the desired outcome, that's still 70,000 votes going purple. Especially if you limit it to being the first 100,000 confirmed voters, you'll still get people participating if they think there is still hope for getting a card. Even more if you're convincing voters that are only voting for the sake of a gift card and don't actually care about the result of the election.

And ultimately that's just one of several attack vectors I can think of. And I'm not a smart person; I'd go as far to say that I'm actually pretty stupid. I can't imagine what a room full of actually smart folks with NSA-like budget and NSA-like permissions can come up with. Remember the gigantic mess with Dual_EC_DRBG in the FIPS 140-2 standard?
give the really big airlines some numeric codes that start with the right number. For example, give Delta D7 as well. Then they can have DL1234 and D71234 etc
IMO we should replace general corporate trainings (those HR ones, e.g. anti-harassment) with centralized ones, so that we don't have to take it again and again. Those are the most boring, most time consuming things for the first 1-2 week of any new job. The only purpose is for the company to click some checkboxes.
I wasn't really thinking of faster execution speed overall. Just faster for a given number of ports on the register file. It may also eliminate the need for result forwarding hardware since the registers would just the ALU output latch.
Same problem on LCD/with the font you use though - those displays are dense, and designed around room for 'AB1234'. Confusing to have it scroll when it already rotates into some other information too.
I don't even understand the point of code-share flight numbers. The first thing I do when I see one is look up the original flight number. Most flight search engines will also show you the original carrier.

Why not just get rid of them and book on the original flight number? Is it needed somehow in their systems to know how a flight was booked or what flights are eligible? Can that be fixed instead of the flight numbers?

Easy, add a leading 0... Oh wait they probably store them as integers, but then it wouldn't matter how many digits... Oh wait some places it's fixed length strings
I also grew up eating traditional tomatoes, my favourite thing to do is toasting a slice of sourdough bread then cutting a tomato in half and smashing the two halves on the bread (it's a similar process to making smashed avo on toast - it won't work with supermarket tomatoes because they're too hard and not juicy enough); I add olive oil, a pinch of salt and sometimes oregano.

If you have a Harris Farm Markets near you (I think there is one in Newcastle which is not too far from Anna Bay), look for the "heirloom tomatoes" - they are usually placed in a basket as a mix of different heirloom varieties and you can pick the ones you like, they are traditional tomatoes, not the ones you usually see in supermarkets.

>> That breaks OoO users of the register before the operation.

How so? The register can be used the same as before but clobber operations don't have to be sent over to a separate ALU and "back".
> Thiel writes: “one may define a “liberal” as someone who knows nothing of the past and of this history of violence, and still holds to the Enlightenment view of the natural goodness of humanity.”

> I have to say, I think this describes my worldview pretty well (although I would argue that in my limited knowledge of the past, it does seem to me like an increasing level of abundance and education can ward off violence pretty well).

I’m surprised the author (oh, hi submitter!) hasn’t clued in that perhaps it’s time to put blogs to the side and learn a bit more about history and how today came to be prior to attempting to “understand” Peter Thiel.

The thinly veiled “weird” memery going around as of late in the subtitle is trite and immediately, in my mind, devalues the blog post. It basically signals “this isn’t an objective attempt to understand as much as it is me taking the piss out on Peter Thiel.”

I gained no new knowledge about the guy, unfortunately. Hyper focused on trump and the like as usual and treats the guy like he’s a 1D political villain. So this was essentially empty content.

Put another way, I’ve seen much better shitposts about Thiel than “this guy thinks he’s smarter than everyone else.”
Certainly. That statistic is misleading without knowing what exactly it measures. The author no doubt knows it. I am surprised you're the only person on HN pointing it out.
There's a decent chance that several important airline systems are storing things in fixed-width fields, so that, e.g., the flight number is columns 25-28.
Yes, I like to think of LLM's as hint generators. Turns out that a source of hints is pretty useful when there's more to a problem than simply looking up an answer.
If my information is being deceptively harvested, whether it's by a PAC or corporate entity, that's tax money well spent. I thought HN was against this kind of thing and want's corporate death penalties for abusing people's privacy?
> but I can't see it going horrible either.

Any type of investing can do horrible. Examples: you trust a financial expert who swindles you, you invest everything in a dying company/industry/company/asset class, you don’t rebalance or diversify, you don’t take advantage of accounting or tax law shelters.

You comment seems to imply that you are making unstated assumptions.
You are wrong. Industrually one can have one of these to work for perhaps 50 beds that go in a conveyor belt or a single large belt conveyor. One would then need only the small version.

Hire an accoutant. Research where humans consume unusually lots of fresh produce, ensure it works with one bed for that produce, buy a warehouse (near where most Uber Eats users are), and set up a conveyor belt that will be expanded over time. Engineering friend would help with this. While waiting for first produce & collecting data, work on branding, buy fake accounts & hire group of third-country freelancers with Good English to do your marketing, make a media plan ("interview" plan), work on photography, and research Uber Eats, GrubHub, DoorDash matters (talk to them on phone, figure out the most cost-effective still good looking & functional packaging etc.), and reach out to popular cafes (especially popular chains) to get them use your below-profitably sold produce in exchange for attention (ghost restaurants may also be interested).

The profit comes either B2C or B2B (probably a fallback). You sell fresh, consistently high-quality local produce at low cost around the year, cheap because you have no employees and thus no salaries to pay.

Consider expanding out from your first warehouse as a franchise.

> This merits changes in C too but I don't know what if it's not templates.

C’s preprocessor is really weak-compared e.g to M4, or the PL/I preprocessor. Yet people manage to do all kinds of amazing tricks with it. The price of those tricks, is a big blowout in preprocessing time. If they added some of the missing features (e.g. conditional macro expansion, iteration), people would be able to achieve the same things with far better performance.

Obviously that couldn’t do everything templates could do - even with a much more powerful macro system, macros would still be ignorant of types - and if they became type-aware, they’d essentially be templates by another name. Still, more powerful macros could deliver a lot of benefits (in compilation time and ease of understanding) for real world code bases, even if C templates never happen.

I definitely think it is worth exploring other models than the traditional randomly accessed register file.

Your idea reminded me a bit of Scheduled Dataflow [0] architecture where every register is a dedicated input to a unit. Instead of an instruction having source and destination register parameters there are only destination registers.

The Mill does it the other way around: There are only source operands and the result is stored in each unit's dedicated output register.

Not sure I hoped, but from the title I expected.

I don't have more than 10 entries per week. Partly because I prefer real work over meetings, so I work at a place that does not have a lot of meetings. And once you don't have many, it's easier to remember other appointments, no need to use a calendar for everything. So even if this had been a useful mapping of calendar entries into a directory tree, I would not have felt an urge to use it.

If you have, say, 'add r1, r2, r3; add r2, r2, 1' and want to do the latter instruction in-register-file, you can't reorder them (e.g. if r2 is known before r3) as after having ran the second instruction the first ones r2 operand would be nowhere to be found. You'd need to track whether there's any unfinished usages of each register (or maybe the simpler option of just tracking if it has been any operand), which isn't traditionally required.

Perhaps a bigger issue is that, if you have a speculative decision (incl. all loads & stores) between having written a register and the clobbering update, you can't do it in-register too, as that'd make it impossible to rollback.
Some investors and economists have been saying for several years that there is an "everything bubble" that inflated in the ZIRP era–stocks, bonds, real estate, art, etc. Asset prices completely detached from their underlying intrinsic value. The belief is that zero interest rates have caused the inflation, and with the end of ZIRP, prices will collapse. Earliest reference to the term I can find dates back to 2017. To my knowledge, Jeremy Grantham, a famous investor, is the most prominent advocate of this theory.

Clearly the successor solution is to use eight groups of four hexadecimal digits each, separated by colons. Then each individual seat and peanut could be addressed to it's final destination.

More seriously the solution suggested of giving the 3 companies other unused prefixes like D* U* and A* to use with their codeshares and non rev flights to start seems the easiest.

Intel's got a bit of a headache with the disproportionate number of senior engineering positions, especially those Principal Engineer types and up. These folks are pretty much untouchable when it comes to reshuffling the company because firing them is a real pain - you need sign-offs from all over the place. Back in the day, these roles were for Intel's superstars, but now? It's more about who you know than what you know. So we've ended up with a bunch of people pulling in over $750k a year, and a lot of them aren't really bringing that much to the table. It's like having a sports team full of overpaid benchwarmers.
