Amsterdam manages to have intersections with cars, trams, bicycles, and pedestrians signaled separately and it’s working out pretty well!

First paragraph of the article:
"As many have said GPUs are so fast because they are so efficient for matrix multiplication and convolution, but nobody gave a real explanation for why this is so. The real reason for this is memory bandwidth and not necessarily parallelism."

Sorry but please don't take Eigen (https://eigen.tuxfamily.org) away from me. Can't speak for others, but the scientific code I work on would become unreadable like that.

What do you mean when you say woke? (You specifically)

I think the problem exists: the externalities of the approach to laptops you're describing are very bad. Framework is trying to promote the three R's to help combat this. Reduce, reuse, and recycle.

I think most folks here are advocating for MacBooks, which you absolutely could not build or buy an equivalent of in the 1000$ range. Desktops are a different class of hardware altogether.

I agree up to the last point. You can catch panics at the thread level right? I mean, more generally, what is Erlang implemented in?

I think we can all agree that maximizing profit is a cause, while also acknowledging that the situation is not ideal. There are many solutions to this self-imposed problem, like standardizing the battery interfaces.
I agree most company's have no incentive to do that. I think those incentives should be put in place though.

Intact Solutions | Full-Time | Fully Remote | https://www.intact-solutions.com
Intact Solutions applies state of the art research to simulation for engineering, design, and manufacturing applications. We create finite element analysis solutions that can operate on a wide variety geometry and material types, providing unique solutions for generative design and additive manufacturing.
Intact is a small R&D technology company. We are supported by federal research grants, software licensing and products, as well as industry partners. We value both the exploration of ideas as well as the construction of solid foundations for future endeavors.
We're looking for new software engineers! If you have an interest or past experience with
* mechanical engineering / finite element analysis
* computational physics and / or mathematics
* computational geometry, HPC, numerical issues
then please consider reaching out! We are always looking for candidates who are excited about pushing the state of art in modeling and simulation.
Our core software is written in C++. We are exploring the use of Rust for our core products. In addition, we support a Python interface and a rails based web application.

Is that a fact or an intuition?

I don't think looking at hacker news as a hive mind is a good idea tbh.
I'm on the side of those unionizing. Work conditions don't need to be unsafe for folks to unionize, and I'm fairly confident in saying that the vast majority of folks everywhere (in tech anyway) are paid an unfairly low amount for the value they generate.

Any more details you can share? Do you work on weapon systems?
