Nice, these ideas have been around for a long time but never commercialized to my knowledge. I've done some experiments in this area with simulations and am currently designing some test circuitry to be fabbed via Tiny Tapeout.

Reversibility isn't actually necessary for most of the energy savings. It saves you an extra maybe 20% beyond what adiabatic techniques can do on their own. Reason being, the energy of the information itself pales in comparison to the resistive losses which dominate the losses in adiabatic circuits, and it's actually a (device-dependent) portion of these resistive losses which the reversible aspect helps to recover, not the energy of information itself.

I'm curious why Frank chose to go with a resonance-based power-clock, instead of a switched-capacitor design. In my experience the latter are nearly as efficient (losses are still dominated by resistive losses in the powered circuit itself), and are more flexible as they don't need to be tuned to the resonance of the device. (Not to mention they don't need an inductor.) My guess would be that, despite requiring an on-die inductor, the overall chip area required is much less than that of a switched-capacitor design. (You only need one circuit's worth of capacitance, vs. 3 or more for a switched design, which quadruples your die size....)

I'm actually somewhat skeptical of the 4000x claim though. Adiabatic circuits can typically only provide about a single order of magnitude power savings over traditional CMOS -- they still have resistive losses, they just follow a slightly different equation (f²RC²V², vs. fCV²). But RC and C are figures of merit for a given silicon process, and fRC (a dimensionless figure) is constrained by the operational principles of digital logic to the order of 0.1, which in turn constrains the power savings to that order of magnitude regardless of process. Where you can find excess savings though is simply by reducing operating frequency. Adiabatic circuits benefit more from this than traditional CMOS. Which is great if you're building something like a GPU which can trade clock frequency for core count.
Neither Firefox nor Chrome optimize for battery efficiency like Safari does on Macs or Edge does for Windows.

I’m not trying to be the “just Google it” guy without citations. But I couldn’t find a definitive citation - just general discussions and some YouTube videos including earlier discussions on HN.

I searched for “firefox vs safari battery mac” and the same for Edge on Windows.
> If a minority were sharing their perspective about whatever their lived experience was with regards to racism, would you respond this way?

If a small group of people told me they actually experienced flight under only human power, no mechanical assistance. Would it be right to take that claim at face value?

I'll answer that: no, it wouldn't.

If you're going to ignore plausibility entirely, then yeah I suppose all statements deserve equal consideration.

However... If it is the case that some stamens are more plausible than others maybe it's an effective heuristic to be skeptical of implausible claims.
Founder implies wearing a lot of different hats all at once but also the power to make choices, including defining bureaucracy and processes. Senior PM implies a much more limited silo of skills but also limited powers and a need to be able to fit in with existing bureaucracy and processes.
The thing about the "I need cash in order to do things the government doesn't want me doing" is that it's just incredibly precarious. Very difficult to use that as an argument to government or its supporters. And it tends to "evaporate" over time as people stop using cash for "legitimate" purposes. So you end up with nonsense like US asset forfeiture, where the police can simply steal your cash.

> mandating any merchant of goods or services to accept cash

The fewer people actually use this option, the more likely the merchant is to be very passive-agressive about refusing it. Like claiming not to have change.

Show HN: Turn YouTube Videos into AI-Generated Notes in Seconds
i use youtube every day for things like tutorials, recipes, philosophy, podcasts, etc. i enjoy learning visually but it's nice to have something to read and learn from as well.

so i built this tool that turns youtube videos into AI-generated notes.

main features:

- inline citations to jump directly to the relevant part of the video just like how Perplexity cites sources

- share notes with anyone

- save notes as PDF or markdown

here's a demo for a 1.5 hour podcast episode with Satya Nadella discussing AI:

Crypto firm Tether and its founders finalizing move to El Salvador
Interestingly, Mercury [0] is VC-backed, and their backend is entirely Haskell. In an interview [1], their CTO mentions that it’s actually quite easy to hire for Haskell, as the demand is much lower than the supply, and, as he slyly puts it, “interest in Haskell acts as a decent proxy for baseline developer quality.”

So while the pool is larger for JS/TS and Python, that may not always be beneficial.

There’s also the perception the Trump administration will be a pay-to-play game and anyone who doesn’t show signs of alignment will be prevented from participating in decision-making, industry incentives, government contracts and so on.

Mozilla is a tech company that stopped caring about tech and loves to portray itself as a victim.

Since they fired the entire Servo (& Rust) team, the project joined the Linux Foundation. Servo is now my best hope for a truly independent browser.
I actually have the exact opposite experience when I try out Chromium based browsers. I end up missing FF dev tools. I love the ability to edit and resend network requests. I'm sure I could figure out how do to so in Chrome devtools, but just not as intuitive (at least to me!)
Things like DINO, GroundingDINO, SAM (and whatever the latest versions of those are) are incredible. I think the progress in this field has been overlooked given LLMs, they're less end-user friendly but they're so good compared to what I remember working with.

I was able to turn around a segmentation and classifier demo in almost no time because they gave me fast and quick segmentation from a text description and then I trained a YOLO model on the results.

I moved to Sweden three months ago. The article is good in pointing out that a cashless society has runaway effects to other social systems.
Despite being in one of the best situations possible (EU citizen, works in tech, has assistance from locals) and being proactive about it, I am still without a Swedish bank account. In order to have an unrestricted one, you need to have Swedish ID, which is a multi-step process that requires registration with a Swedish address. Having acquired ID recently, my application has been sent, but the bank can potentially refuse it.

This locks me out of BankId, which locks me out of large sectors of society. Bank accounts in my native country are supposed to be closed once one no longer resides there, but doing that is simply not an option if I want to survive.

It is very easy to accidentally design systems that lock out foreigners moving into a country. The EU must oversee member states on this aspect or this will effectively destroy our freedom of movement.
Right. I still see comments here by people praising multigenerational housing in traditional societies. In practice that usually amounts to the wife doing unpaid labor to care for the husband's parents as they age (and constantly criticize her for doing everything wrong).
Or the first part.
I did a double take at "walk barefoot on the grass" as the top suggestion, as the kind of grass you can walk barefoot on is the least wild thing around (at least where I live)

Barring mistakes, it balances if we had avoided reducing the planet's vegetation by 20% since 1900. So much for that.

That's obviously not "the" solution, but it seems like reducing fuel burn while increasing forestation would benefit us beyond what is commonly expected.
Like I said, it's not a serious proposal, just a thought experiment.

Indeed America now has "innovators capable of making humanity multi-planetary" (whom some would call egoistic oligarchs) + mostly shit government (and politicians who want to keep it that way).

Could it have taken a different path in the past to instead have well-managed national wealth and less dick-shaped chrome rockets? Would that still be possible?
I know of IPC, but it has never occurred to me to view as an alternative to shared libraries. It's an intriguing viewpoint I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around. Are there battle-tested real-life examples of IPC being used where shared libs could have been used instead?
One vacation in a European country my credit card simply didn't work due an error made by the bank (which would only have surfaced if I had overdrawn a limit while at home).

One vacation in central america the ATM just swallowed my card - on a Saturday night and it was unclear when the bank would be open again.

One vacation in another country the ATM kept my card and told me it had expired - ok, so that one WAS my fault, but we're already at example #3.

Yes, maybe those are exceptions and people living there are better prepared/have friends/whatever - but I have simply experienced it failing. Cash has never let me down, as long as the other party accepts it or that one time when my wallet was stolen.
My post did not include any assertion about any such thing. What this has to do with (your?) wife is a mystery though.

Of course your reaction is quite telling and really says something about your ethnic narcissism, nobody said anything negative about Indians like you and somehow you feel like you are being attacked. Needing to talk about the race of (your?) wife also seems extremely weird.

To be sure you have clarified OPs question quite a bit.

The last serious performance issue I saw with FF+YT was when YT added a glowing border around videos when the tab was in dark mode. FF just wasn't able to efficiently run that effect. I don't think it's very reasonable to say that YT or any other site should be limited by the performance problems of FF. Maybe they should have detected the issue before release but the explosion of browser x platform x dark/light theme x graphics driver is a large space to sweep.
Biden to issue executive order to ensure power for AI data centers

The surgeon risked brain damage for the patient due to anaesthesia to go try collect her payment rather than just do the surgery for free? And she wants to be the sympathetic one?
It still seems pretty minor. If you want extreme optimization, feel free to destroy the pool and create it new, or create it with the ideal layout from the beginning.

Old data still works fine, the same guarantees RAID-Z provides still hold. New data will be written with the new data layout.

Along those lines: especially when coming from a technical background and dealing with non-technical stakeholders, wording like "hmm, this would likely be a pretty intensive multi-week project" might have been intended as carrying the benign context "...and the team would be excited if that's what leadership wants to prioritize" but can often be interpreted as "...and I'm going to fight you tooth and nail on this."

Pausing and engaging on the benefits of a proposal can be incredibly valuable, even if your mind has already raced to the considerations about implementation and opportunity cost. Many engineers understand that there's no higher praise than a leader diving into the weeds on something, but many other stakeholders don't have the same context!
I get that Apple shouldn't be allowed to dictate which features belong on the web, but you're just letting Google to it instead if you opt to use Chrome.

Maybe I don't care about PWAs (which I don't), maybe I don't feel like the majority of APIs introduced lately belongs in the browser. There's very little of what you should be able to do on the web that you could not do 10 years ago. Yes, flexbox is awesome, let's have that, so is the dialog tag. WebGL, Blutooth, USB, device memory, battery status... No, the browser doesn't need to support that.

Not everything is an attack on your people. But I always found it a bit strange how Indian people, Muslim Hindu or Sikh, get so defensive the moment anything remotely negative is said about them.

From wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carving_width#Related_paramete...:
“[…], it can be shown that for any graph, the carving width is greater than or equal to half the branch width, and is less than or equal to the degree times the branchwidth. Because treewidth and branchwidth are always within constant factors of each other, similar bounds can be used to relate carving width to treewidth.”

> Ah, yes, the typical learning experience. You are born and fed a firehose of all the content available in the world.

You are indeed born being fed a firehose of experience. Is it all the content available in the world? No, it's much less ordered than that.

Also much less content. If your point were to have been "current AI are thick because they need a lot of examples to learn anything", you'd have a much easier time with your claims. (Some people still argue that point because vision is high bandwidth, but nevertheless it would be easier to argue than setting the bar so high that no human could possibly get there).

> Then, when you need to learn something, you just firehose it all again from scratch with some added notes you made on a napkin.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean in this analogy.

> Can we at least agree that this cannot be compared with a human baby?

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC27565/

You can compare almost anything, if you want to.

But why would it matter, that it's not like a baby? A baby treated the way you propose treating an AI, would still be somewhere between "feral" and "dead". That, even in isolation, is enough to show that your test is not well-conceived.

I wonder where things will stand in 10 years from now. Will many orgs still be consuming vanilla Postgres, or will most workloads have shifted to ~proprietary implementations behind cloud services like "Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database" and "Google AlloyDB for PostgreSQL" due to unrivalled price-performance? In other words, can progress in OSS Postgres keep up with cloud economics or will things devolve into an even messier ecosystem centred purely around the wire protocol and SQL dialect?
As a single point of anecdote - as a European visiting America, I also found American candy just insanely sweet. Like, way more than what I'm used to, and it definitely didn't make me go "wow this is tasty". I guess you're used to what you know, but there is something to it.

The issue is the loss of a village.

The "laziness" here isn't just the working parents to be.

Old people could help a great deal with child care, instead the boomer capitalist mindset is "retirement" and getting "taken care of".

That's the clear solution. The elderly have a clear obligation to help the younger productive generations raise kids.

They don't.

Aside from these issues are the saturation of entertainment/video games, emphasis on look at me consumption while raising kids just needs pragmatic consumption, feminism, birth control, abortion (I am pro choice but it has a demographic cost), overwork, porn, internet dating isn't aligned with long-term relationships, drop in religion.

It all combined to less means, less time, less interest.

Single consumers are what western capitalism is strongly optimized for, and the cultural bulwarks have basically collapsed.

I used to be worried about the infinite growth /consumption of capitalism, but urbanization is the precise weapon environmentalism needs. Nothing will work because the rich get richer off of all of this.

The medium term solution is immigration, which converts low resource consuming people to high resource consumption, but that's just a generational delay in the inevitable demographic decline.

It's hilarious we talk about AI simply slotting into the economy while consumer capitalism withers away the biological aspects over generations.

Its scifi come to life.
