I would have liked to see the performance of the ash c version, seems like a surprising omission.

I’m also confused about the perf2 performance. For the threads example it starts around 70_000 reqs/sec, while the processes example runs at 3_500 reqs/sec. That’s a 20 times difference that isn’t mentioned in the text.
I consider Bing better in some areas, and equivalent in most others. Their image search is definitely better. Text search is... well, not good, but not any worse than Google.
Fair enough, there is a difference. But now we are not looking at a missed flight so much as attempted kidnapping or imprisonment or some other much more serious crime. Which is interesting to think about with the Waymo example, but hard to take seriously in the context of the video since the rider declines to do what the customer service rep asks them to do (at least appears to for the sake of producing additional outrage for their video)
How do you distinguish partisans from actual knowledge? The Steve Bannon philosophy of flood the zone with shit so it all looks the same seems to have killed public discourse IMO. It is easy to label everyone as partisans.

To your questions, the best explanations for climate change are human causes (and with very considerable evidence).

Women have higher pain tolerances and greater natural buoyancy, they are greatly advantaged at long distance cold water swimming. Many other sports require physical size and/or strength - so it does depend. Vaccines have no evidence of _causing_ autism, and the big paper that made that claim was retracted. I don't know about rent control and do not know what data exists.

Yeah, the answer of, yes, and here is all the evidence just doesn't seem to fly. I feel that trolling and trolls, and science illiteracy just have simply won the day.
I know it's hotly debated and I don't imagine I could convince you :). This is my opinion.

If I read right, you're saying that an entire food group that people have been eating for eons is simply "bad", specifically, meat, dairy, and eggs, in their unprocessed form. The argument I've seen is that it's better to eat a new kind of food that people have only begun eating in quantity within the last hundred ish years requiring industrial technology. (Specifically, oils extracted from plant material using solvents like hexane.)

I'm open minded but this is a really serious claim and I'd need really solid evidence which I haven't seen, and I've looked. There are a lot of studies; those that I've looked into have too many confounding variables for me to take their conclusions at face value.

I could also see the possibility that saturated fat in someone who already has metabolic syndrome might increase their risk of heart disease, and maybe be considered the proximate cause, in cases where the root cause is the metabolic syndrome caused by sugar in the first place.

There's also the question of there being different kinds of LDL cholesterol and it perhaps actually serving a function in the body that isn't categorically bad, even if in some circumstances the metric correlates with atherosclerosis.
But, lots of people have many kids thst they don't take care of. Genghis Khan is one such example, apocryphally having so many kids as to constitute 2% of the current Asian population having had him as an ancestor. So I don't quite get your point, there is no maximum.

My sense is _most_ resumes are actually reviewed by a human. Most job postings aren't getting 1000s of applicants. If they are, 3 people can review 1000 applications in 2 hours (30s look).
I wasn’t making a prescriptive moral point, I was describing the reality of the situation.

Sure, someone may force the change to dollar coins on those who oppose it because it costs them money and offers them no benefit.
I can barely run a quarter mile in one shot. But at least I'm running!
When I bought a power drill, I didn’t throw out my screwdrivers. There are still cases where I find them essential. They’re all tools, each with their merits and tradeoffs. Few things truly move the Pareto line.
So glad FB abandoned moderation. Both of you guys (left and right) blame Facebook for censorship. What a thankless job. I'd throw my hands up as well.

If you care so much about it, now you can contribute with Community Notes. The power is in your hands! Go forth and be happy.
It's not security theater. He explained above how this is used to defeat a specific phishing attack that they've actually seen in the wild. There are other, different threat vectors (e.g. compromise of the mail server) that it doesn't prevent. But that doesn't make it theater. as it does provide other value.
Elastane. And yeah, it's kinda garbage, wears out and results in the fabric ripping.
What AI? None of the AI that Microsoft or even anyone has currently is even remotely good at replacing a single human worker, let alone multiple.
That's why I need to get a 16Gb card. :P
Here's my layman's understanding:

When light is transmitted through a transparent material, it slows down a bit. One way to think about this is that photons are being absorbed by electrons in the material and quickly emitted again to continue on their way.

This doesn't tell the whole story. For example, it doesn't explain why the photons appear to keep travelling in the same direction after being absorbed and re-emitted.

The overall delay experienced by a group of photons in this way is called the group delay.

But the atoms and the atoms' electrons aren't completely passive in this situation. The atoms can be resonating (moving back and forth) at a particular frequency determined by the properties of the material.

If the frequency of the atomic resonance is slightly faster than the frequency of the light (?) then the emission of the photon can happen at a time and place that seems be before the photon was absorbed.

This is not especially unusual for quantum systems and once again we get a headline that sounds absurd but only if you think about things classically.

No doubt my explanation is wrong/not-even-wrong/misleading. I would love for a proper physicist to enlighten me!
According to Weights & Biases, my personal, not work related account was in the top 5% of users, and I trained models for a total of nearly 5000 hours - so if I rented equivalent compute to this machine, I’d probably be out 5-10k so far - so this machine is very close to paying for itself if it already hasn’t.

Also, not having to do the environment setup typically required for cloud stuff is a nice bonus.
I just saw the Digital Foundry results, and that's honestly really good.

I'm guessing users will self tune to use 2x/3x/4x based on their v-sync preference then.

So that leaves us with the following approximate advice, "Skip anything extra that's uncessary, unless it is actually necessary, and make sure to know the difference."

Easy!
Well it's mandatory to get government contracts. That's the only reason companies do it.

As a passionate retail investor, I have always been fascinated by the power big fund houses have, and I want to cover the gap by providing the same power in the hands of all retail investors. I am a solo entrepreneur and build these models from scratch in-house and the goal is to keep this website free for all users while providing the best in-class tools to give that edge through technology and data to retail investors that will help them stay above the curve and will help them make confident investing decisions. Behind this platform are several AI models trained on US stock market public information of the last 10 years, 100+ popular investing books, SEC filings and 300+ key financial metrics. You can ask queries in plain simple english and the models will convert that into SQL queries and fetch companies - along with detailed company analysis of each stock along with charts and tables. You can even edit the SQL to adjust conditions. Also provided are Sources that models use and detailed thinking behind each answer - so that investors can see for themselves before making any financial decisions. You can get a detailed company analysis for any company and valuation model to analyze fair value of any stocks. One of the key features is unlimited chat for humans. There is also a library on 'Discover' page to get you started. Please checkout my website and critical feedbacks are most welcome.
I am open to add features that investors feel will add value to their research and stock finding. Happy Investing!

Currently website is optimized only for desktop+ screens.
I don't like password reset links either. Send me a code I can type in, but only to the original browser session.
Agreed, a lack of a bit of stretch is the only limiting factor for my jeans, otherwise I might prefer them
The problem is that the shareholders in these kind of companies want exponential growth not matter what, being profitable isn't enough.

Since there is a limited amount of people on the planet that can afford Apple at Apple's prices, this eventually hits a ceiling.

You don't see Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bang & Olufsen, and similar brands, expecting an exponential growth in sales, year after year.
This has me worried and slightly panicky as all this could hurt my family and I. I'm Canadian and a retired IT guy, less by choice and more by ageism in IT hiring. Seeing and knowing that forced early retirement could easily come in this industry, I saved throughout my career and am now comfortable. But my plans assumed having healthcare and investments in an economy that wasn't tariffed into the stone age in an attempt to force us to bend a knee.
Yes! This, this, this. Moralizing is the opposite of problem-solving. Assuming is the opposite of understanding.

When combined you get a fundamental metaproblem that:

1. You can't solve a problem you don't understand.

2. Moralizing is more satisfying than understanding.

3. This is a problem, which can't be solved if people choose to moralize instead of understanding.
For hiking? I can imagine this applying if you are climbing Everest. Not to taking a walk in the forest.
Much of parallelism to accomplish a single goal is trying to break computations into units that are associative and commutative. Then you can combine the results regardless of order.

Trying to decompose a problem in this way ranges from hard to impossible.
Those aren’t good candidates for fact checking really. They are beliefs really, just very widespread ones with lots of support.

A good candidate for fact checking is something that is well documented objectively verifiable. Politician X said Y on TV the other day.
CPUs are less expensive, have higher yields, and have a more favorable model for managing peripherals.
This sounds quite sinister but it was a common summer job in Iowa for teenagers. You could make enough in a summer to buy a used car. Because of immigration these jobs are not really available for citizens anymore. I haven't heard of any teenagers taking this work in some time. You had to work long hours in the sun and heat but it was "an honest day's work."
Ford barely even makes cars anymore. All trucks and SUVs besides the Mustang.

Everything is political, which is one of the statements made above.

Facts are political. Because facts actively change how you live your life.

The playwright who created the “kill all climate denialists” talks about how it took years for the play to get onto stage.

And then how he began to see the truth of climate denialists positions. That climate denialists believed the facts, and realized it meant their whole way of life was over. So they had to do something about it. They responded with denial. In a very real way, they lived their beliefs.

The fact of climate change IS political.

EVERYTHING is political, there is no fact that I cannot convert into a weapon, through some means or the other. Blaming fact checkers, is simply trying not to blame humans.
good article. I would add that GPUs are particularly good for the case where you want to do the same thing to different datums in parallel. e.g. brightening every pixel of an image - you have some data, the pixels in this case, and you want to do the same thing to every datum. This is called SIMD, short for “single instruction multiple data”. this is because great instruction you give to the GPU applied to multiple pieces of data, hopefully in parallel.
LinkedIn is a place to show your social status.
Or they are more realistic, or less corrupt.

Seems to me that if some authority is determining what are facts and what are not for me, that I am easily shapable and foolable.

Community Notes at least don't claim they have the facts. So that leaves you more with a responsibility to make up your own mind.

I know this isn't for everyone, there are still a lot of people that like to have leaders tell them how they should live. But nowadays there are more and more people that like to have more independence. You will have to live with that too.
That’s great, but why are they still going with these enormous touchscreens? An immediate pass from me.
Similarly RWX. I guess if the article were meant for me, I'd know all the terms already.
Sometimes you read a post somewhere and the thoughts expressed stick with you for years. Decades even.

Once case for me is a post someone wrote in the late 90's that was concerned about parallel ports going away and everything being subsumed by USB et al, cutting off hobbyists and experimenters. It made a lot of sense at the time, and I've thought about this many times since.

Obviously USB has been widely embraced and is highly successful for experimenters, hackers, etc. Whatever friction it causes is so vanishingly small that few people today even suspect that there might be any reason for concern.

But yeah, I get what you're saying: built-in GPIOs on every box by default used to be a thing, and it would be cool to have even now.
A key distinction here is that Hyperview is free, which makes the offline capabilities or lack thereof a more than reasonable tradeoff IMO.

Volt looks great, but $15/mo. for the basic plan, $37/mo. for the pro plan that you likely need for the ad hoc builds alone (unless you test in prod).
This seems like a tautology, by definition most people do not have significant differentiating factors between them.

Because only the most noteworthy fraction of the population are well… noteworthy.

So the only reliable factors to boost the vast majority of the population way above their peers would be money, endorsements, etc…

I'm some what in agreement with this. OP sounds like he has legacy codebase stockholm syndrome. Imagine being appointed mayor of a slum and deciding to build more slums because you wanted to fit in.
That's because Europeans prefer small cars, in which automatics really sucked until maybe 15-20 years ago. They were inefficient and heavy, and the engines in those cars didn't have a ton of excess power.

It's a different story in large sedans/wagons.
Ah I see. Yes, that makes sense.
> There are some positives about Magic Links for sure

Like what? I'm failing to come up with a single benefit (for the user).
My test whenever I get handed someone else's code with a debounce routine is to hammer the buttons with rapid presses, gradually slowing down. That shows if the filter is too aggressive and misses legitimate presses. I also see strange behavior when they're implemented wrong like extra presses that didn't happen or getting stuck thinking the button is still held when it isn't.
> Apollo-like swipe left->right anywhere to go back (and reverse to drill back into the story you were on, which Octal doesn't support).

The feature is also present in HACK! It's called "Full screen swipe to go back" (you really need to search for it, the settings list is kind of messy). Also the reverse you mentioned is implemented.
And that is true for the foreseeable future, which unfortunately, if my math is correct, is around 17 hours.

In 2 (time units) we'll be doing computer analysis of lens distortion or something to try to suss out the AI. At which point it won't matter for the stock image use case, of course it matters for legal matters and such. And then in 1-2 more units we're going to need public/private key signing implemented in 'cameras of record', because detection will be practically, if not actually impossible.

Is that 'unit' days or years? Dunno, but I bet it is a lot closer to the former.
As if actual journalists care to uphold "journalistic standards."

X/FB is far more trustworthy than the legacy news media, which happily censors salient stories at the request of the government and pushes very specific agendas that are totally out of touch with the average voter.

I can't even count how many times I've seen literal video evidence for a story on X that the news media twists or refuses to cover.
But how many people died even though they had the ‘right’ gear?

Who ever claimed that?
But they are not claiming to have the facts. That's the big difference.
> Trump is engaging in some light trolling here. He's going off script and just saying whatever comes across his mind.

>People shouldn’t take his threats literally - but you should take them seriously.

So, when Trump talks about possibly using force to annex Greenland or control the Panama canal we all should consider this trolling but you also want everyone to take it seriously. I understand you think you’ve made some nuanced point there, however this is a complete contradiction, if you aren’t aware. The lengths some people go to excuse, explain away and play down this man’s words is quite astounding.
Unfortunately, many interesting problems are known to be impossible to efficiently parallelize. This includes some very broad problems like evaluating a logical expression or simulating a turing machine.

I can't tell if this is satire or fact, and that is awesome.
Setting aside the moral component, and focusing on the economic; the Trump deportation plan is red carpet invitation for consolidation. Agriculture today is a declining mix of many medium and small growers, with a few mega growers that have increasingly concentrated their market share of output. Deportation will greatly accelerate this trend, consolidating most agriculture under a few mega growers. Small and medium sized farm operations can’t afford the capital for complex automation to replace manual labor - but mega corps can.

I forgot about that, and had this issue for a while, it varies, but now I just go to a gym that doesn't care. Otherwise ya some cheap shorts or whatever can be easy to come by.
I think we've exhausted the argument. Again, appreciated.
No, "default dead" is VC-speak for a business that relies on runway to operate rather than being profitable.
> Is there much for a nail company to innovate all the time?

Of course there is, you can innovate to use less metal maintaining quality (see aluminum cans as an example of this in a similarly boring tech with "no innovation potential")

In services there is an even bigger potential to create more value
Does "Nicolas Bourbaki" count?

Housing cost complaints are dramatically overstated on HN because SF and Seattle are dramatically overrepresented. Housing has definitely become more expensive on average in much of the country over the last few years, but it's not as crazy an issue in most places as it is in the places many HNers live, and there are plenty of places where housing is actually still quite cheap (for example, most of the Midwest).
I thought the way he referenced the hydraulic pumps compared to electric motors with gear shafts was interesting.
Anecdotally I think there's something to this, when all I have to eat is lacking in micro nutrients I tend to be hungrier. When I'm eating lots of very nutrient dense things, even when less calories, I feel satisfied.
This is one of the best treatises on debounce, I've read it a number of times and probably will again.

One of the best things I've done to help with really bad debounce is spend time testing a number of buttons to find the designs that have, at the hardware/contact level, much less bounce. Some buttons wind up with tens of ms of bounce, and it's hard to correct for it and meet expectations all in software.
It's a good question. I was asking something like this myself at lunch today.

Basically I think the issue is that SAT solvers accept stuff at a conjunctive normal form level, which is pretty far from what you'd want to use for most applications. It's more like an IR. So SAT solvers are more typically backends to higher level tools which compile to them.

If your tool offers a high level interface, one may be inclined to just call it an SMT solver. I too despite being interested in SAT, basically reach for an SMT solver even if my problem is pure boolean because of convenience.

- SAT/SMT by example is an excellent text https://smt.st/

- https://pysathq.github.io/ offers a nicer interface directly to SAT solvers

- Z3 https://microsoft.github.io/z3guide/docs/logic/intro/ can put problems into CNF and pretty print dimacs. It contains a SAT solver, but one would probably expect a purely boolean problem to do better on the top of the line SAT-only solver like Kissat.
Linked Lists and other Tree Traversals are sequential.

Raytracing (which is a tree traversal) is a notable exception because there's so many millions of rays that get launched, that it becomes efficient to group them back together and then parallelize the traversals all together.

So if you have "enough" of them going at once, its back to GPU Superiority. But a *SINGLE* linked list or *SINGLE* tree search will always be best done on a CPU.
How about the fact that Meta killing their fact-checking feature will have a very direct impact on the quality of Community Notes? Per today's Platformer:

OpenAI boss denies sister's allegations of childhood rape
They did specify [0] that it was intermediate frames they were generating back when the 1st version frame generation was announced with DLSS 3, which does translate to interpolation. It's only natural to assume MFG is the same, just with more than a single intermediate frame being generated.

It is also just plain unsound to think that it'd not be interpolation - extrapolating frames into the future means inevitably that future not coming to be, and there being serious artifacts every couple frames. This is just nonsense.

I checked through (the autogenerated subtitles of) the entire keynote as well, zero mentions there either. I did catch Linus from Linus Tech Tips saying "extrapolation" in his coverage [1], but that was clearly meant colloquially. Maybe that's where OP was coming from?

I will give you that they seem to intentionally avoid the word interpolation, and it is reasonable to think then that they'd avoid the word extrapolation too. But then, that's why I asked the person above. If they can point out where on that page I should look for a paragraph that supports what they were saying, not with a literal mention of the word but otherwise, it would be good to know.
