There is no Android RISC-V. There isn't an Android available to run on RISC-V chips. There is no code to run on RISC-V in the Android source tree, it was all recently actively removed.[1]

Despite your personal feelings about their motivation, these sites were factually correctly relaying what happened to the code, and they went out of their way to say exactly what Google said and respected Google's claim that they remain committed, with 0 qualms.

I find it extremely discomfiting that you are so focused on how the news makes you feel that you're casting aspersions on the people you heard the news from, and ignoring what I'm saying on a completely different matter, because you're keyword matching

I'm even more discomfited that you're being this obstinate about the completely off-topic need for us all to respect Google's strong off-topic statement of support[2] over the fact they removed all the code for it

[1] "Since these patches remove RISC-V kernel support, RISC-V kernel build support, and RISC-V emulator support, any companies looking to compile a RISC-V build of Android right now would need to create and maintain their own fork of Linux with the requisite ACK and RISC-V patches."

[2] "Android will continue to support RISC-V. Due to the rapid rate of iteration, we are not ready to provide a single supported image for all vendors. This particular series of patches removes RISC-V support from the Android Generic Kernel Image (GKI)."

Here’s the thing: We don’t need an actual multiverse to put cracks in the clay pot
of our mind when we already have devices for careening through the endless imaginations of
the multitudes, when we exist in an environment where you can encounter the personal stories and experiences from people on every continent, all who are living their own unique life in just a few minutes, all from the comfort of your own toilet. When more interesting ideas and concepts, and people and places can fly by in the space of one 30 minute TikTok binge then some of our ancestors experienced in the entirety of their localized illiterate lives.The internet, for those who are inspired to spend lot of time on it and use it in a certain way, for those who envelope themselves in it’s self-referential world of constantly evolving novelty and imagery, will inevitably have a profound effect on the way you see the world.
Is it? A narrow majority of Americans polled when it was a topic of current debate expressed support for warrantless wiretapping to combat terrorism so I think it is extremely likely that much greater numbers would support a more limited process subject to more scrutiny.

Drug development is a pretty critical component of getting a drug to the consumer, unless you don't consider completing human clinical trials and receiving FDA approval to be valuable
I doubt you'll find many people identifying with either of those labels in an economics department.
Ha ha ha. Would you like to say something more substantive?
Germany affords no Freedom of Speech and makes major policy blunders, like shutting off all of its nuclear power plants. It's not a country for the US to emulate.
Yes, it is just Malus's law. The key is what angle is relevant.

Suppose you did CHSH but instead of pairs of entangled photons with was pairs of non-entangled photons that were polarized in the same direction. They players do the same thing as with entangled photons: use the bit from the referee to pick their measurement angle. A measures at 0 or 45 degrees, where 0 is the axis the photons were polarized on. B measures at -22.5 or 22.5.

Let's say the 0 degrees the players are using is the direction of the original polarization axes.

When the referee gives a 0 to A then A is measuring on the same axis the photon was polarized on, so will get a 1. When the referee gives a 1 to A then A measures at 45 and Malus gives a 50/50 chance of 1.

Player B is always measuring 22.5 from 0, so Malus says B gets a 1 85% of the time.

That gives us this:

Ref A Ref B A's 1/0 chances B's 1/0 chances
0 0 100/0 85/15
0 1 100/0 85/15
1 0 50/50 85/15
1 1 50/50 85/15

In the last two rows the players win 50% of the time (due to A's 50/50). In the first two rows they win when they get the same bit, which happens 85% of the time. Since all 4 referee results are equally likely, the result is the players win 67.5% of the time.

If the player's setup isn't aligned with the initial axis the result will differ. For example let's say their set up is 10 degrees off from the setup described above. Then their angles are 10 and 55 for A and -12.5 and 32.5 for B. If I did the numbers right they will win around 62% of the time.

Without entanglement when each player measures a photon the θ for Malus's law is the angle between the axis they measure and the axis the photon was originally polarized with.

With entanglement the θ is the angle between the two axis that the players used.
> The cited book has no information on how the surveys themselves were conducted.

These are not surveys. These are actual full data from the erstwhile British Administration’s revenue records with the data collected by each Provincial head and the District administration revenue collectors and officials at that time. The modus operandi of the data collection is also detailed in the book.
Right, and the same can be said of providing the service of issuing a voter ID at the voting center on Election Day, once it is passed as legislation.

Is a Ban on 'Truck Nuts' Unconstitutional? (2011)
The Supreme Court is defending the First Amendment, and "court reform" is a euphemism for eliminating the independence of the judiciary in order to dismantle those First Amendment protections.
This is not at all how the accounting for Social Security, Medicare, and other mandatory spending programs work. Generally, Social Security beneficiaries receive more than they paid in (invariably they do with Medicare). And, obviously, everyone receiving Medicaid and SSDI do. I don't think this technical point about Social Security is going to salvage the argument that the US pays more in defense than anything else.
>2. The entire software world is ready to recompile everything for RISC-V

This would suggest that RISC-V is starting from scratch.

Yet in reality it is well underway; RISC-V is rapidly growing the strongest ecosystem.
That's why I asked OP for where he lived, and qualified my point about the IRS with "for instance". I'm not going to do an exhaustive search of all countries to validate the claim.
I think the studios and anyone doing video production probably would use a 8k toolchain if possible. As others have pointed out, this lets you crop and modify video while still being able to output 4k without having to upscale.
Love the idea of ndarrays of first class functions, although I'm still trying to figure out what I'd do with all that power...
Minimum wages are a poor bandaid and workers would generally be better off with unions having more power to collectively negotiate better pays.
The better solution is to continue respecting the First Amendment and not trying to restrict in any way, political speech, and instead reforming the electoral system so that the volume of speech one is able to output through the expenditure of financial resources does not have an impact on election outcomes.
This is really cool. Nice work and I find the MIT license you've chosen to be interesting. I chose the very same license for my own open source project because I wanted there to be few excuses not to use it.

Damn, you've done significant work on this. Will have to check this out more in depth.
The Raspberry Pi uses Broadcom, not Qualcomm chips. It also uses cores designed by Arm, which are not affected by today's news.
I don't have a strong opinion on the whole, but as someone who's been building a diagramming app for 2+ years, I've found react-flow to be the most solid free & open-source node-based diagram component, by far. At least in terms of quantity/quality of features and UX/DX. Though admittedly I haven't thoroughly looked at alternatives in about a year.

It basically singlehandedly convinced me that the ecosystem was worth going with react when I started my project, despite really enjoying svelte.
RISC-V is very competitive with ARM when comparing similar PPA niches.
Funnily enough Qualcomm tried to persuade RISC-V to let them drop compressed instructions. Presumably because they're trying to crowbar a RISC-V decoder onto the Nuvia design and compressed instructions are breaking it somehow.
Q.E.D.

Abortion is the ultimate debate; with no clear answer from any biological, moral, legal, ethical, philosophical, or even religious clause, and science leaning the "wrong" direction depending on social "norms".

Social norms are friction against the ability to be honest with peers - that are nearly all going to be incentived to lie about their actual opinion, and project the opposite (but vote the way they are told anyway)
Microbial emissions drove recent record high atmospheric methane growth
Qualcomm has historically licensed both the instruction set and off the shelf core designs from ARM. Obviously, there is no chance the license for the off the shelf core designs would ever allow Qualcomm to use that IP with a competing instruction set.

In the past, Qualcomm designed their own CPU cores (called Kryo) for smartphone processors, and just made sure they were fully compliant with ARM’s instruction set, which requires an Architecture License, as opposed to the simpler Technology License for a predesigned off the shelf core. Over time, Kryo became “semi-custom”, where they borrowed from the off the shelf designs, and made their own changes, instead of being fully custom.

These days, their smartphone processors have been entirely based on off the shelf designs from ARM, but their new Snapdragon X Elite processors for laptops include fully custom Oryon ARM cores, which is the flagship IP that I was originally referencing. In the past day or two, they announced the Snapdragon 8 Elite, which will bring Oryon to smartphones.
> The data on higher minimum wages is not clear and it is not obvious it would benefit all Americans (or even the poorest Americans).

You've been duped [1].

There is an extensive scare campaign around raising the minimum wage that is motivated by one thing only: allowing the wealthy to retain more of the profits generated by their workers. That's all that's happening here.

There is a well understood principle hhere too called the alienation of labor [2]. To summarize, without pushback workers will become increasingly estranged from and unable to produce the products they produce.

This is ultimately bad for the corporations that are exploiting them and the society as a whole because if nobody has any money, then there are no customers for your business. Over recent decades we've extended this by invoking debt. Housing debt, student debt, medical debt, credit card debt. These are temporary patches to a system that is fundamentally exploitative.

Years ago.

DRAM uses a capacitor. Those capacitors essentially hit a hard limit at around 400MHz for our traditional materials a very long time ago. This means that if you need to sequentially read random locations from RAM, you can't do it faster than 400MHz. Our only answer here is better AI prefetchers and less-random memory patterns in our software (the penalty for not prefetching is so great that theoretically less efficient algorithms can suddenly become more efficient if they are simply more predictable).

As to capacitor sizes, we've been at the volume limit for quite a while. When the capacitor is discharged, we must amplify the charge. That gets harder as the charge gets weaker and there's a fundamental limit to how small you can go. Right now, each capacitor has somewhere in the range of a mere 40,000 electrons holding the charge. Going lower dramatically increases the complexity of trying to tell the signal from the noise and dealing with ever-increasing quantum effects.

Getting more capacitors closer means a smaller diameter, but keeping the same volume means making the cylinder longer. You quickly reach a point where even dramatic increases in height (something very complicated to do in silicon) give only minuscule decreases in diameter.
An opinion piece from the head of the Atlantic Council, whose job is basically to convince Americans they need to have lots of defense spending, is hardly something I’d take at face value. It’s more revealing of where that particular set of (heavily foreign-funded) lobbyists are trying to steer us, than anything else.
Learning DeepVariant's Hidden Powers
The consequences are not necessarily the motivations.
Literally (yes, using the word correctly here) just wondered today(!) how the sounds for Defender were created.

I have a sound board from an original Williams Defender (maybe the same used in Stargate, Joust?). I have a power supply to run it, a mechanical rotary switch to select the sound you want and a mechanical button to trigger it. I have been meaning to make a nice enclosure for it ... make a cool coffee table ornament.

Always loved those sounds. A friend made a 1-bit synthesizer and you could dial in sounds that occasionally suggested Defender. I assumed therefore the sounds were mathematically generated somehow.

I had tracked down the assembly for the board (probably used by MAME) but had not spent the time to reverse engineer the audio magic. Apparently someone has however.

Very cool. Mind blowing sounds when this game showed up at a nearby arcade — and its sill got it.

That "Game Start" sound is still so stunning. Just playing a bit with it, it looks like "echo" was the killer ingredient.
Show HN: The Secret Tool Lets You Build ML Models During Meetings
Hello Hacker News community!

I'm currently working in financial risk management within the banking sector, and I began my career as a Data Science specialist. For quite some time, my friend and I have been developing a small pet project just for fun. This tool has repeatedly helped us save time when testing various hypotheses and machine learning models.

The core idea is to combine different scripts—created in various programming languages and virtual environments—within a minimalist graphical interface. Whether you're building models, running a local neural network, or sending requests to external services via API, or some another helpful script, our tool aims to make the process seamless.

Just today, I was once again impressed when I managed to obtain a scoring ML-model by sending the initial data right during a work meeting, all thanks to our little project!

Here's a small demo: https://youtu.be/fE1Yg0rcWM8

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts. Could this be interesting to other users? What features should we add to enhance convenience and versatility?
The military industrial complex is a socialist jobs program, both for those directly on the DOD's payroll and for the employees of the firms that contract with the government under the auspices of the military.
You probably mean BitKeeper. BitWarden is a password / secrets manager.
>AI art is just art

Not necessarily. You need to define "art" and most likely "creativity". As you have said AI is a tool, I assume you're not anthropomorphising the model itself as an artistic being.

So it's down to creativity/skill. I would say someone saying "create me an image of a person on a lake" has no creativity/skill at all. It may be an image, or a drawing, but it's not art. In the same way I can draw a stick person - it's a drawing without creativity/skill, so it's just a drawing, not art.
Figured it was something federal, I've lived in multiple states and they've all been the same/similar.
The 7.25 rate was set in 1996.
Adjusted for inflation, 7.25 is worth 15 today.
There are thousands and thousands of jobs paying less than 15/hr.

In NC, where I live, the average wage for an entry-level crew member at McDonalds is $12.16, effectively 20% lower than the original purchasing power of the 1996 minimum wage.

> Social media is to the 2020s what cigarettes were to the 50s

That is an interesting thought. Thanks!
Later rulings supersede previous ones because later rulings review their precedents and will correct mistakes that they identify in their precedents, so if a later ruling found those earlier rulings incorrect in their application of the law, we assume there was in fact a misjudgment in those older rulings. The justices provided legal reasoning in overturning Roe vs Wade and the Chevron doctrine, and unless you find some glaring mistake in that reasoning, the default assumption should be that the rulings to overturn these doctrines were legally sound.
I don't believe any major company has done it. Even Intel failed numerous times to move away from x86 with iAPX432, i960, i860, and Itanium all failing to gain traction.
This is not OK. We pay more than enough to fund the Forest Service.

And I live the Forest Service. They make my life better and I value that very highly.

I do not want private companies polluting our rec lands like they have done damn near everywhere else.
> I'm not convinced on your latter point because market forces typically act before minimum wage

If there were a long term inflationary effect, then industries particularly sensitive to minimum wage costs should have significantly higher prices in Australia compared to the US. That doesn’t appear to be the case; perhaps they absorb the additional costs in the profit margin. It can’t have no effect, but it’s clearly not as simple as you were implying.
If you suddenly got a passive source of income matching your best possible salary progression on the condition that you don't work, would you forgo it and keep your work as it is?

If your answer is no, you're currently doing things you'd rather not.
It isn't an abstraction. Not everything is an abstraction. There is a long history of tools which are not abstractions. Linters. Static code analysis. Debuggers. Profiling tools. Autocomplete. IDEs.
Fair, though I don’t think translation is a good long term strategy. You need native apps otherwise you’re always dealing with a ~20-30% disadvantage.

The competition isn’t sitting still either and QC already hit this with Intel stealing their thunder with Lunar Lake. They’re efficient enough that the difference in efficiency is far overshadowed by their compatibility story.

Ecosystem support will always go to the incumbent and this would place RISC-V third behind x86 and ARM. macOS did this right by saying there’s only one true way forward. It forces adoption.
Controllable Fast and Slow Thinking by Learning with Randomized Reasoning Traces
Yes.

That is where they live now, and are told they aren't allowed to work, or else their substituent welfare money they are dis-afforded (against their collective interests long term).

They can be something, and feel something, than the federal definition of "so low its illegal"

It also is blatantly unfair. Why enforce a minimum wage for legal workers, when illegal workers will ignore it (gun argument!?) and the border is open (but not for guns???).
One of my all-time favorites, and wow, this brought back some fantastic memories! What great sounds!
Without any ARM specific optimizations, most apps wouldn’t even have to recompile and resubmit. Android apps are uploaded as bytecode, which is then AOT compiled by Google’s cloud service for the different architectures, from what I understand. Google would just have to decide to support another target, and Google has already signaled their intent to support RISC-V with Android.

I agree on Medicare. But it's plausible that the Supreme Court could find government meddling on Social Security unconstitutional, because similar decisions have already been made in other countries.

In Finland, the mandatory pension system is similar to Social Security, except that it aims to replace ~60% of earned income without any limits. Pensions based on past contributions have been established as constitutionally protected private property. If the system seems to be out of balance, the basic tools are raising the contribution rates without increasing the benefits and increasing the retirement age for younger generations. Any changes that would substantially lower the pensions that have already been earned would have to go through the same process as constitutional amendments. (There is also a third tool: increasing the tax rates for all retirement income, regardless of the source. But that is understandably unpopular.)
Anybody know what's data management system that's being used for the expected 100 PB observation data collected during the six years EUCLID project, is there any chance it's RUCIO?

I have only seen it on US navy vessels, I have never seen it used for communications, but they like to put up the ships id on the flags, And I always enjoy breaking out the manual and fumble my way through deciphering the flags when I see them.
Typo. Meant to write "ARM is the plan A that they'll likely end up abandoning".
The thing about RISC-V is that they indirectly have the R&D coffers of the Chinese government backing them for strategic reasons. They are the hardware equivalent of Uber's scale-first-make-money later strategy. This is not a competition that ARM can win purely relying on their existing market dominance.
I've had a similar idea kicking around for some time now. This might be it.

One of the core concepts I wanted was to see how my list E.g. "Top 10 Best burger joints in <city>" or "Top 5 white wines for a Summers evening" compared to others similar lists. I've never been able to land on how to best implement something like this, without requiring some kind of strict tagging by the user to enable like for like comparisons and accurate rankings.

I wanted to call it "Social List" / "Socialist" :-)
Hey, OP wanted RISC-V binaries to run anywhere, not me...
Like everything else, it doesn’t matter much. Windows ran on Itanium, Alpha, and as pointed out ARM for over a decade.

Without the ISVs, it’s a flop for consumers.

MS has had an abysmal time getting them to join in on ARM, only starting to have a little success now. Saying “Ha ha, just kidding, it’s RISC-V now” would be a disaster. That’s the kind of rug pull that helped kill Windows Mobile.

Emulators aren’t good enough. They’re a stop gap. Unless the new chip is so much better than the old it’s faster with emulation then the old one was native no one will accept it long. Apple’s been there, but that’s not where MS sits today.

And if your emulator is too good, what stops ISVs from saying “you did it for us, we don’t have to care”? So once again they don’t have to do it at all and you have no native software.

MS can’t drop their ARM push unless they want to drop all non-x86 initiatives for a long time.
