I'm reminded of the story of Helen Keller, and how it took a long time for her to realize that the symbols her teacher was signing into her hand had meaning, as she was blind and deaf and only experienced the world via touch and smell. She didn't get it until her teacher spelled the word "water" as water from a pump was flowing over her hand. In other words, a multimodal experience. If the model only sees text, it can appear to be brilliant but is missing a lot. If it's also fed other channels, if it can (maybe just virtually) move around, if it can interact, the way babies do, learning about gravity by dropping things and so forth, it seems that there's lots more possibility to understand the world, not just to predict what someone will type next on the Internet.

All things distributed - the source of the headline - is a blog written by Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.
My understanding is this was true for the original Trinity era APUs in 2012 but by 2014 Kevari APUs had already put them on the same bus so passing the pointer over PCIe was no longer necessary for systems with unified system memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_System_Architect...

Reading about HSA again (it's been many years) it seems like ARM was one of the ones originally part of defining it back then and I wonder if Apple actually did anything different on top this at all or just branded/marketed the use of what was already there.
Right but on a local network the attacker likely has no surveillance -- and if they do you probably have worse problems.

And because Tor is relatively vulnerable to DOS attack, an attacker can force users off of it and likely on to more vulnerable communications methods.

Tor also has its own vulnerable to traffic analysis which is quite significant. So I think for most users if you can satisfy communications you'd probably prefer it... Though I suppose I could argue it both ways.
I've found the hunger only lasts 10 minutes or so at times you body thinks are meal times, and actually, having a metal task you can throw yourself into really helps.

No, I'm sorry, this is plainly wrong. This isn't a dialogue between you and dang where you're having some difference of subjective opinion. You aren't debating whether pineapple on pizza is good or not. HN has been around for ages and in that particular aspect it works pretty much (or more transparently) the way just about every internet forum works. If dang and others are repeating something it's in response to you. You have to make some sort of case for your position being better - your position (which you've barely articulated to any degree of detail) is not somehow equivalent to the prevalent implementation because it doesn't have a prevalent implementation. The onus is on you to make the case for it. Like, that's how discourse (and the effecting of any kind of change, presumably) actually works.

It is all downstream of the loss of the manufacturing industry in America. In the 50s you could entrust a random guy to build a liquid rocket engine in a dusty garage because he spent every day of his career building various pipes and combustion chambers. All of these guys are now dead or retired so when you try to build hardware today you get new grads who settle on LIDAR and computer vision not because it is the best choice but because it is literally all that they are familiar with; the old solutions have all ceased to exist within the minds of employees and classrooms.
Chilling effects and all that.

This is a nice analysis of incoming and outgoing bandwidth, but totally neglects to analyze the compute power required by each query. You can’t answer that without knowing the possible queries that users can send. Do they have a dashboard with a known set of queries? Do they have a GraphQL API that can produce pathological queries? Can they send SQL directly? Are they running aggregations? Do they use filters? Are they querying recent data or all historical data?

And that’s just the read side. You also need to ask about ingestion and transformation. Is the database storing raw events and nothing else? (Is the user happy with that?) Is it append only? Is it being rolled up and summarized into daily partitions? How many transactions per second? How many of those are INSERT vs. UPDATE or DELETE? Which rows are being updated? Only recent or any of them? All of them?

etc…

There is no generic answer to this question, and “requests per second” is a reductive and insufficient interpretation of the problem that won’t identify any of the hidden complexity.

Well, performance issues, it's not uncommon...
The only reason to choose Plasma over XFCE is that KDE made a token effort to integrating it with the system.

XFCE in all default configurations I've ever seen is a program. It's not part of the OS, and that's clear in the user experience. XFCE doesn't include enough control over the system, configuring your OS is a thing you have to do manually with a separate program if you're lucky. Usually it's a text file. We've all known for decades that this is why normal users think Linux is hard. KDE actually did something about it.

As much as Plasma is the best in class, it's still not good. I'd love to use anything else. I'd kill for an XFCE that works out of the box as well as plasma.

Unfortunately with the Wayland crisis, I doubt we'll see the Linux desktop brought to the standards of windows 7 anytime soon.

This sums up all of the school pickup problems I see and/or deal with daily.

I also see many parents making dangerous decisions, most of which fit into the “I’ll go now” category, including accelerating quickly to get to the crosswalk before the kids crossing the street do. Just this school year, I’ve seen multiple near misses, with kids jumping back onto the sidewalk to avoid being hit by a parent who just picked up their own kid.

> The efficiency of regenerative braking increases with the power of the vehicle. The electric efficiency should be well over 90%, perhaps even 95%. The mechanical losses will lower the total efficiency to much smaller values, but even so, the total efficiency should be over 80%.

It's not just about conversion efficiency. Moving a vehicle up a hill requires several times as much power as traveling on level terrain, which heats the battery. Reaching the top of the hill and starting regen when going back down again, also heats the battery. On normal terrain that isn't all hills there will be level sections in between that allow the battery to cool. If the terrain doesn't have that then the battery gets too hot and the vehicle will disable regenerative braking and use friction braking to allow the battery to cool off. The steeper the hills are, the more heat is generated per unit time.

Batteries also have charge curves. In the extreme case you start at a higher elevation, go down a hill and can't use regen at all because the battery is full and there is nowhere to put it, but then you have to spend energy later to get back to where you started. The same is true even if the battery isn't fully charged, because extreme charge levels require charging to be done gradually and the battery might not be able to take as much power right now as a heavy bus would generate descending a steep grade.

> A bus with an ICE will consume 5 times more extra energy for climbing the hill and it will also consume energy while going downhill.

Modern engines will cut fuel entirely when descending a grade.

> the presence of hills in any city can only make electric buses more advantageous, not less advantageous, due to much greater cost savings for fuel and maintenance.

That doesn't contradict the point that they'll need to have larger batteries to achieve the same range on hilly terrain.

Thanks for your feedback! Yes the primary reason for it being receive only right now is to combat spam. I am considering options where self-hosted users and cloud users (perhaps as a premium option) will be able to do this though.

One of the big challenges then would be that self hosting outgoing email servers has historically always been tricky thing in terms of email deliverability. A lot of big email providers block entire residential IP ranges, so more often than not emails tend to be delivered straight to spam.

But there are other options I’m considering such as being able to integrate AliasVault with external email servers (e.g. MS365 or Google) for both receiving and sending. Or leaving the receiving as-is but integrating with an external SMTP relay for email sending.

I’m actively working on improving AliasVault and iterating quickly, so all feedback is appreciated. :-)
It's laudable to donate part of your own money to help those in need.

In which country did you live?

I don't think anyone with even a basic understanding of history can say that communism has been bad for the working class. Really? Communism transformed the Soviet Union into a global superpower in just a few decades. It turned a rural, agrarian society into one that launched the first satellite into space. It provided free housing and education to people who, for generations, couldn't even read. It achieved groundbreaking advancements in nuclear energy and developed the atomic bomb.

China, under the leadership of the Communist Party, is now #1 in science, technology, and industry. Its success as a superpower is thanks to communism. And before you argue, "but China isn't communist!!!11," please shut up. Yes, it is. If it were just another average capitalist country, it wouldn't have achieved even 1% of what it has. It would have been exploited by imperialist powers, just like Latin America and Africa. China's rise to #1 is due to the Communist Party's strict control over capital.

The Soviet bloc did decline and collapsed in the late 20th century. You likely lived through that time, as its collapse was caused by competition from the West, bureaucratization of the revolution, and a lack of innovation. However, saying "the revolution stagnated" because "communism was a failure" is entirely false. It wasn't a failure; the most significant story of the 20th century is the resounding success of communism wherever it was applied.

Even if you lived in a capitalist country, as a worker, you have communism to thank. The fear of communism forced the West to implement a welfare state and make reforms that benefited workers they otherwise wouldn't have. They poured billions into workers' hands to prevent them from embracing communism. Communism led to the creation of the Welfare State and the Marshall Plan. Competition with the Soviet Union is why South Korea and Japan received hundreds of billions from the USA. The fear of a revolution was very real, prompting many third-world countries to adopt nationalist and welfare-state policies that improved millions' lives.

Your argument simply doesn't hold up. It is demonstrably false.

I actually think this decline will have a positive impact on more local issues. Here is my reasoning:

Software Developers (and I am one) are too expensive for most companies. This caused a brain drain into "Big Tech" which while a valuable bubble of technologists, is only a niche in the greater community.

If software wages come down, more local, non-tech, smaller scale companies will be able to afford to have in house developers, and the world needs way more bespoke software to truly capitalize on the power of small software.

I would rather see software developers be on par with your local machinist or trade specialist rather than a tool to upper-echelon companies in big tech.
