Has it? These names are basically (architecture version, amount of compute) tuples. Much better than what AMD, Intel, Nvidia, etc. are currently doing.

I wrote a utf-8 capable (but also fully generic over element type) rope implementation in Rust last fall (edit: 2023) and the main issue I ran into was the lack of a suitable regex library capable of working across slice boundaries. With so

My contention is that pronouncing doom for hiring in the software sector based on a graph that does not include any previous boom/bust cycles is, at best, misleading. I actually didn't see that these data are HN-specific, but th

This graph is pretty misleading because it starts right after the ~2008 recession and doesn't include data leading up to that, or any previous boom/bust iterations such as the ~2000 dotcom bubble bursting. The correlation with int

I'm not sure what is the relevance of any of this to my comment. Are you suggesting that the mainstream forecasters (Nate Silver, 538, Economist, etc) are intentionally biasing their models toward a toss-up in order to drive page views

by caconym_ 2y ago
To state the obvious---if nobody was doing the math to get the result that (by certain methodologies) it's a toss-up, we wouldn't know it's a toss-up. Should forecasters stop publishing results as soon as the needle hits 50&#
