The M1 chips are made entirely by TSMC, they reinforce the status quo, they don’t change it. RISC-V is still years from matching ARM performance or cost, and by the time it does, a lot of it will likely be getting manufactured by TSMC. TSMC

Sure, but my point is that any agency or group that is going to subpoena Signal definitely has someone on their team who understands what a UNIX timestamp is. Think about it: If a service actually does comply with one of these subpoenas, th

Meh. In any case involving data/tech I suspect there are people involved who can handle much more sophisticated formats/conversions than this. I may disagree with the government’s stance on privacy, bit they’re not stupid or tech-

I’m generally weary of “clickbait” being used as an excuse for various things on HN, but this takes the cake: Elon is visible because he loves—nay, craves—attention. Sure, the media reports on him a lot, but it’s because he gives them endle

Yeah, but that’s just one part of its local maximum. If crypto didn’t exist, I feel confident the hustle porn, personal finance and entrepreneurship stuff (more “How I Make $1000/mo In Passive Income”-style content and less Startup Sch

…good for you? Like, I absolutely empathize with GP. I’m typing this comment on an iPad, and in the previous sentence I hit the letter ‘m’ while reaching for the spacebar and didn’t realize until 3 characters later. I finished that sentence

Personally, I think it’s an interesting gimmick, but if I’m being honest I wouldn’t say that dealing with color actually limits my ability to think about other things when developing software/games.

Well, except for the part where there are news articles with him talking about doing a layoff because the economy is super bad. But maybe Tesla’s workers have drank the “all journalism is clickbait” kool-aid and don’t read the news. In whic

While my mom doesn't know the names of any of the libraries or frameworks I use, when I tell her what kinds of products I work on she totally gets it. Like, these days I'm working on an LMS that trains hospital staff on how to use

If it remains a niche hobby in 10 years then that means we’ve succeeded in preventing Bitcoin from becoming mainstream for another 10 years, which would be good. We might even make progress on clean energy sources in that time. It will stil

My issue with takes like this is that Bitcoin is currently barely used by anyone (many people are holding, almost no one uses it as their primary medium of exchange), and yet it’s responsible for about 0.5% of the world’s power usage. If Bi

I’ve had some luck with PyAV, which I’m pretty sure is just some straight-up Python->C bindings (in case shelling out and starting another process feels too weird. https://pyav.org/docs/stable/ However, I’d not

Here are some Model Jury Instructions for Wire Fraud charges from the 9th circuit: https://www.ce9.uscourts.gov/jury-instructions/node/583 They’re not what I would call a “layman’s definition”. When you’re on a tr

I'm pretty sure stories get naturally downranked (even if they have a lot of points) as the number of comments begins to approach the number of upvotes. I think the idea is "anything with more comments than upvotes is probably a f

Does it? The point of 699 is to get the highest price possible while hiding the most-significant digit. The opposite of that would be signalling a high most-significant digit while giving as little as possible, which would be 700. 701 just

I’ve supported candidates who want to clamp down on private electoral financing (like the unfortunate @cantbuypaul) but the problem seems to be that in order for this to work, we’d need to elect a ton of these people, against the will of ma

Whenever I hear someone say “if X captures 1% of the market, that’s $Y Billion” I can’t help but feel like that’s backwards: If X captured $Y Billion of revenue then it’ll have 1% marketshare. Capturing 1% marketshare is not equally easy in

Facebook (the thing I think people will agree destroyed MySpace) was not started by someone fed up with MySpace saying “I’m going to make the same thing, but I’ll moderate it differently!” It was started before MySpace had reached peak popu

Yeah but that analysis downplays the shareholders’ thoughts about the future. If they largely feel like Twitter’s real value is $100B, that it just hasn’t been realized yet, and that they think it can be realized, then it totally makes sens

I guess some people might find it cheeky or funny to build an entire software product that does something people want, and then make it impossible for most people to use by adding a silly licensing clause. I’d consider it a huge waste of ti

Just a heads up, in future conversations you may want to mention the DSL part at the beginning. WebRTC over DSL is definitely not impossible, but you’re going to be dealing with whole classes of issues most WebRTC devs aren’t running into o

I feel like I see a lot of HN/HN-adjacent (pg, his friends, etc) conversation about polarization and elite overproduction that totally misses the asymmetry between the left and the right. Like, sure, there are plenty of middle-to-upper

I think it’s because most of the time a lag of a couple hours is in fact a big deal. Let’s look at some common use cases: - If I want push notifications for meetings, I want to get them exactly 10 minutes before my meeting, not 2 hours afte

One bit of feedback, it’s a good idea to put “higher is better” or “lower is better” on graph axes.

Knowing absolutely nothing about this industry, I wonder if it’s just a matter of there being only a few big players, such that any accident would always be one of a couple companies.

If folks are making the argument that risky speculative investments can be used as currency for day-to-day purchases, that’s an argument I’d hear out, but I feel like it would be a difficult argument to make. And for the record, the argumen
