My instinct was to close the site immediately but decided to read what Woz is up to. Navigation didn't work for some stuff on mogile but I dowloaded the PDF whitepaper and I must say this is more shallow than most "tokens". I

The title was confusing to me. This has nothing to do with sharing a core by context switching i.e. giving multiple programs a timeslot on the same core. It's about HyperThreading/SMT, a feature that allows multiple programs to ru

Will there be a warning if you try to use 'master' as a refname if it doesn't exist but 'main' does? I assume beginners using educational resources that aren't up to date with this change will be really confuse

For readers unfamiliar with the project: it's been in alpha for 24 years, although it now targets Server 2003/XP instead of Win95 which it originally did in 1996.

I'm really angry at Pfizer and co for ditching MAOIs for SSRIs. All research shows that they are much more effective, have no emotional blunting effect and have less impact on libido, at the cost of not being allowed to eat cheese and

Do you mean container margins? The text is left justified and I don't see any difference between that site and HN.

I think all emotional states can be triggered electrochemichally for arbitrary durations. The reason all humans aren't like the manic people mentioned in the article is that it's not an evolutionary stable strategy. They hoard, st

How was Facemash (Hot or Not) developed (pics of Harvard girls never used the site)? How did they get website traffic data from their like button without visitors using Facebook? Also, how is my grandma part of their database because all he

IMHO, I'm glad Microsoft is not part of this. It's not about profits, it's about data monopoly. Writing a modern OS is almost impossible from scratch, but there's nothing preventing you from hiring enough people and maki

When Android started getting big, a huge community of enthusiasts were making cool proof of concepts. Port busybox, VNC, run Ubuntu on your phone, ROM customization. Beginners started using accelerometers and multitouch to make innovative g

Marketing dollars work, and bidding for ad placement is competitive. The field is made of clever people that optimize it. However I think it's dangerous to believe that advertising is "numerical" or metrics can fully predict

Suppose your company is developing a framework for creating mobile apps. You work on optimizing the GUI renderer and you are assigned a task to make a module which finds computationally equivalent render functions (or a company making a pro

AlphaZero has coded all the rules for the respective three games, they do a tree search and their neural network output layer has exactly n neurons for max(n) possible moves. Although it's impressive they don't teach it heuristics

Progress in AI is due to data and computational power advances. I wonder what kind of advances are needed for AGI. 1. Biological brains are non-differentiable spiking networks much more complicated than backpropagated ANNs. 2. Ion channels

I think his BosonSampling method comes very close to Shor's algorithm, and I don't think "leagues" really exist in academic output - but he's not doing good work - he's doing great work.

Scott Aaronson is probably one of the most underrated scientists of our time. He's very approachable and has responded to comments and emails of undergrads like me in a few hours. Not only is he part of the team that practically invent

So apparently Google rolled out an update where they 'm.domain.com' turn into 'domain.com' in the omnibox. In what world is this acceptable? How can they assume that 'm.' always means mobile and 'www.&#x27

The TSP solver is vanilla C and the Python extension that wraps it only needs "Python.h". I use scikit-build which is a setup.py alternative and builds and bundles together the solver and the extension. The build system makes a bi

Correct, but you will have to find/build the shared library. Also, as soon as the build systems support 3.8, I will add 3.8 wheels. I tried to support all 3.xx platforms that numpy supports: https://pypi.org/project&#x2
