Actually most of them aren’t, but instead they are only supersonic… Making hypersonic missiles (speeds over Mach 5) is a hard problem due to changes in airflow at that speed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersonic_spe

[My first attempt at an ELI5…] This is needed for massive ML models. GPT-3 for example has 175 billion parameters. The model training job simply won’t fit on a single processor’s memory by itself. To calculate these models, the bigger job h

15 kW per tile, 12 tiles per rack… 180kW per rack at 480V three-phase is 375 amps per rack. Jesus. Good luck finding a rack that can support that. Either you build your own rack (and this could be Tesla’s plan, but I couldn’t find details o

On my iPad this is a problem. On my desktops, I have Firefox with Tridactyl installed, turning off the tab bar, nav bar, and menu. Everything is handled via keyboard if I can help it, including tab navigation: with a single keystroke I can

The best way I’ve seen it described as it is in a way a digital “baseball card”. Baseball cards in and of themselves have no value, just text on a piece of cardboard, and if it is of the same player, they are mostly fungible. But, if the ba

If browser performance is bad but app performance is good (and I agree that my experience with the app is actually pretty good), then it is a bad sign that the exploit is in the app, and not the browser version.

Reminds me of the multiple YAML bugs that have plagued Kubernetes such as https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/82296 It is interesting how the standard of any language seems to diverge due to just

Thanks for the heads up! For some reason HN keeps mangling the post so I am not going to try to edit it again.

I use fzf in this very way and could have written this article if I weren’t lazy lol. However, I can add two other use cases: 1. I use i3wm at home (haven’t yet made the jump into Sway/Wayland), and don’t want to change my screen resol

I had forgotten how sleazy many of the 48 laws of power actually are. Important to know them to recognize the tells in others. A pertinent example is the very next “law”: “7. Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit.”

I liked the article, but I don’t understand how it handles interrupts? Wouldn’t signal handling imply a global nursery? Another discussion discussed logging, which would also imply a global nursery. If a SIGHUP hits the process, how does th

I am not a physicist by any means, so this may come off as a dumb question, but: If gravity waves have been discovered, and they move at the speed of light (speed of causality?), being thrown off by the most energetic events in the universe

Seems like they took a page from non-digital money laundering... art auctions have always been a vessel for hiding cash, and only recently have been targeted by AML laws that seem to be ill-fitting for the industry, seemingly by design: ht

There is an interesting game I played in the past week called MHRD that has you start with NAND gates and gets you all the way to a CPU, challenging you to use as few NAND gates as you can each step. That was pretty fun and reinforced some

Thank you for posting this! This is something that has been mulling in the back of my head for years now and I didn’t know how to express it, but others have already fleshed it out. I have a lot of reading to do.

That is the point though... would you rather “feel good” doing charity, or have a positive effect on society? Donating cash instead of physically participating in charity can be alienating, sure... but certainly more effective. Note that ma

Anecdotally, I know several people who would end up making less if they moved, because their company would “adjust” their salary if they move to a different tax regime. And moving when not telling their employer would probably result in a t

I haven't used Visio in almost a decade. I have used draw.io a lot in that time, and it is more than sufficient. Plus, it easily embeds into Confluence which is something I use daily.

I am under the impression that they expect a real name. In fact, they give a section to allow further proof in case you are someone famous, so that someone isn't trying to impersonate you: "Let us know it's actually you? (Opt

Pointing out hypocrisy is a common ad tactic. Reminded me strongly of this old classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUXb7do9C-w I wouldn't claim it was the cleverest.

I agree, that's why I mentioned principle of least action. But you also forget the power of idioms. We would connect to a file with a file handle using something like open("file"), and then have to close it with close(handle)
