"On the reason for the early publication, Prof Martin said it was related to the software the OBR chose to publish to its website, which was more suitable for a small or medium company than a major publication of critical market-sensitive data."

Using WordPress plugins (with the exception of a limited sub-set) is like chewing gum you find on the sidewalk.

This isn't the reason.

The reason it's necessary is because players want to be able to play with/against other players around the world. Matchmaking requires some form of anti-cheat. Running your own server as admin can't give you the degree of competitive global ranking that players enjoy today.

And cheating is an arms race. It's just hacking. You either preserve game integrity or you're going to have cheaters.

> The change was first spotted by users on Reddit and confirmed in an updated Netflix support page (via Android Authority), which now states that the streaming service no longer supports casting from mobile devices to most TVs and TV-streaming devices. Users are instead directed to use the remote that came with their TV hardware and use its native Netflix app.

My guess is that adblock became too easy on smartphones, so by forcing people use the app on the TV it makes harder for people to bypass the ads.

That's pure speculation, as I don't have any subscription from netflix. But I've used this method with the HBO app and it works 90% of the time, so I'm assuming netflix has the same issue.

That study is hilarious. I can only assume the anuthors are being deliberately obtuse about “shared training data”. The policies listed have widespread public support, so it would seem quite unremarkable that the training data would reflect that stance.

> Despite their differences, we found numerous questions where all four models agreed within narrow margins. Remarkably, the vast majority of these agreements lean left:

> Universal Progressive Stances:

> Support for wealth taxes on fortunes over $50 million

> Agreement on raising minimum wage

> Support for stronger labor protections

> Criticism of corporate monopoly power

> Universal Conservative Stances (rare):

> Individual gun rights under the Second Amendment

> Some free market principles

> This suggests shared training data or safety measures pushing all models toward progressive economic positions.

I know some rednecks from Appalachia who did learn to code. He retired from IBM a few years ago (that is IBM was a different company when he worked there than it is now) to a nice retirement in his little mountain shack.

Though I wouldn't tell the rest what they should do. The guy I know had to live in MN for decades (where I met him) away from the rest of his friends and family - that is itself a large cost in lifestyle that I question if money makes up for.

The elements of the form factor implied here are already on the road. Series hybrid bikes exist today. Fully faired bikes exist today. A fully feared tricycle recumbent could get you to work, clean and dry, on a dimes worth of energy. Cities like Barcelona and Taipei that already move on gas scooters, would smell immensely better if e-bikes took over.

American pick up trucks with their butch looking front ends that kill a lot of children are a stupid idea under any circumstances. But evidently we have to live with that death and destruction until they rust out. Kids are already dying because of the stupidity and we have not got what it takes to stop it. It means other places will benefit from better mobility sooner.

Its not that it is intrinsically good but that a lot of people consuming things from their own agency has to mean something. You coming in the middle and suggesting you know better than them is strange.

When billions of people watch football, my first instinct is not to decry football as a problem in society. I acknowledge with humility that though I don't enjoy it, there is something to the activity that makes people watch it.

> Things like 64 bit immediates are almost certainly a bad idea (as opposed to just having a load from memory)

Strongly disagree. Throughput is cheap, latency is expensive. Any time you can fit a constant in the instruction fetch stream is a win. This is especially true for jump targets, because getting them resolved faster both saves power and improves performance.

> Most 64 bit constants in use can be sign extended from much smaller values

You should obviously also have smaller load instructions.

> will necessarily bloat instruction cache, stall your instruction decoder (or limit parallelism)

No, just have more fetch throughput.

> and will only be 2 cycles faster than a L1 cache load

Only on tiny machines will L1 cache load be 2 cycles. On a reasonable high-end machine it will be 4-5 cycles, and more critically (because the latency would usually be masked well by OoO), the energy required to engage the load path is orders of magnitude more than just getting it from the fetch.

And that's when it's not a jump target, when it's a jump target suddenly loading it using a load instruction adds 12+ cycles of latency.

> TLDR is that RISC-V makes reasonable choices for a fairly "boring" ISA.

No. Not even talking about constants, RISC-V makes insane choices for essentially religious reasons. Can you explain to me why, exactly, would you ever make jal take a register operand, instead of using a fixed link register and putting the spare bits into the address immediate?

On my personal computer running macOS, I have this program called "App Store". And on my GNU/Linux machine, I have all of these weird programs distributed as something called "AppImage". And on my Windows machine, the Microsoft Store has a tagline which says, "Microsoft Store - Download apps, games & more".

There is not a desktop/mobile distinction in terminology other than the one you're attempting to enforce.

I used to use arch linux, but I've been using windows in recent times for simplicity and usability by non-technical people. Windows is starting to piss me off though, so I might move back to some linux distro in the near future.

I don't do any live TV / DVR stuff. Most of the time I just use the browser or VLC.

It's definitely onto something: continuing to spread the lies, bullshit, and propaganda intended to benefit the world's wealthiest human and the associated regime kleptocracy.

Since he's unable to "buy" wikipedia and slowly poison it in the same way he poisoned Twitter, we get to see Musk build a new propaganda machine fresh, using a far less subtle hand.

Will it work to further erode our shared reality and entrench the oligarchy? Well, people inexplicably still use X despite obviously understanding it's overwhelmed with propaganda, so there's a real risk that this will work too.

I feel like I've tried many similar combos and there ends up being some tiny, silly, trivial thing that bothers me in the end. For example, I remember fighting with one of them that forced trailing slashes, and another that didn't allow apex domains (i.e. non-www address) for static sites.

I absolutely refuse to actually ship valuable things though so thanks for the suggestion and I'll probably spend some time trying it out.

Kubernetes is a good example of a microservice architecture. It was designed in a way where each microservice work with other microservices in a way where the dependencies are not so coupled together.

For example, the API server only reads and writes resources to etcd. A separate microservice called the scheduler does the actual assignment of pods to nodes by watching for changes in the resource store against available nodes. And yet a different microservice that lives on each node accepts the assignment and boots up (or shuts down) pods assigned to its node. It is called the kublet. The API server does none of that.

You can run the kublet all on its own, or even replace it to change part of the architecture. Someone was building a kublet that uses systemd instead of docker, and Fly.io (who seems to hate kubernetes) wrote a kublet that could stand things up using their edge infrastructure.

The API server also does some validations, but it also allows for other microservices to insert itself into the validation chain through pod admission webhooks.

Other examples: deployment controllers, replicaset controllers, horizontal pod autoscalers, and cluster autoscalers to work independently of each other yet coordinated together to respond to changing circumstances. Operators are microservices that manage a specific application component, such as redis, rabbitmq, Postgresql, tailscale, etc.

One of the big benefits of this is that Kubernetes become very extensible. Third-party vendors can write custom microservices to work with their platform (for example, storage interfaces for GCP, AWS, Azure, or Ceph, etc). An organization implementing Kubernetes can tailor it to fit their needs, whether it is something minimal or something operating in highly regulated markets.

Ironically, Kubernetes is typically seen and understood by many to be a monolith. Kubernetes, and the domain it was designed to solve is complex, but incorrectly understanding Kubernetes as a monolith creates a lot of confusion for people working with it.

You may find you get more value out of this project if you publish the source code - even if you do so not under an open source license.

Asking people to download and run an untrusted Windows executable is a major barrier to demonstrating your skills. I don't even have a Windows machine to hand to try it out on!

Showing the source code would give people a much better idea of what you can do.

If you're not willing to publish the source code (and that's a perfectly reasonable decision, it's your work!) I suggest creating a video that demonstrates the project.

It's interesting to look back at the times when these concepts and sci-fi lit were written.

A lot of it was in the postwar period. You had a booming population that offered the opportunity for easy corporate revenue growth. If you wanted to make more money, you just sold your good or service to a person who didn't have it yet. That was simple enough because there were people - a lot of them - aging into your market. Let's say that the microwave was the smart home appliance of the late 60s/early 70s. You want to sell them. Well, that's easy, because there are a bunch of people building first homes who want to update their kitchens. Make the case that your microwave belongs in it due to the convenience it brings.

You're a futurist. What would that microwave look like in the future? Well, surely it would just be purchased, you'd put it in your home, and it'd have all sorts of features to make your life even more convenient.

These stories were written with the assumption that, at least in the West, that would continue forever. The Baby Boomers would have enough kids to justify the same sort of marketing strategy. And then those kids would have enough kids. And so on and so forth.

That didn't happen. The birthrate began to plummet in the 1970s and hasn't increased meaningfully since. There are fewer people naturally aging into your market, to say nothing of resources becoming more scarce as time goes on.

So what do you do if you are charged with providing shareholders ever-increasing returns on their investments by selling goods and services? Well, you try to extract more sales - or value - out of a smaller number of people. You don't just sell a smart home device; you require it to be tied to a subscription that must be paid monthly, and make the person using it buy a new one every so often to keep the revenue coming in. You could also collect the data on how they use the device and sell that to people looking to influence the purchase of further goods and services.

The microwave is now a "smart" device that will do all sorts of things... but you'll need to keep paying for it, over and over.

Same with music players, lighting fixtures, televisions, laundry machines, and everything else we've seen get the "smart home" treatment.

Growth must be maintained. Value must be created. The futurist never took into account that part. It was about the consumer, not the supplier, but the consumer can only be made to consume so much based on organic growth.

> Am I truly underpaid or is it really just the FAANGS making that much in senior roles?

The difference with FAANG is that they have stock upside plus $300K+ cash.

$230K and no stock upside? You need to leave right now.

It does not matter how much money you are making, what people in jobs never understand is that you will NOT get that time back again.

> 2. It seems like a crazy time to look for a new job. Everyone seems to be using AI to apply, having their resume vetted by AI and most of the roles being ghost roles. Is anyone actually getting a job? I use AI daily so I see the benefit a tool but it seems like the landscape is bleak

Don't. use. AI. on. your. resume.

It will be tossed onto the pile like all the rest of them and it is not a way to stand out which is the goal of getting hired.

> 3. I'm a male and I feel like I dedicated so much of my life to work that I don't have a lot of friends outside of work, which has really made things feel like I missed out on a lot of the world.

Then your first task is to do some networking and build projects that make money.

Sam specifically says it is general purpose and also this

> Typically for these AI results, like in Go/Dota/Poker/Diplomacy, researchers spend years making an AI that masters one narrow domain and does little else. But this isn’t an IMO-specific model. It’s a reasoning LLM that incorporates new experimental general-purpose techniques.

“Better specs” is precisely why most laptops are garbage. There is no spec for “months until the screen starts visibly ghosting” or “percentage of the time standby doesn’t happen so your laptop is dead when you need it”. So you end up comparing the stats that are available, like GB/$, when for most people these are not the biggest factors in their day to day experience with the device. (If speed and memory are the biggest factors then a laptop is clearly the wrong device.)

This could be true so what is needed is something else besides 'BBC evidence' since the latter has been shown [1] to be unreliable [2] at best. Are there any less biased sources available to stave this claim?

If anyone working at the BBC happens to read along please be aware of the enormous damage your organisation has done to its credibility by being so openly and brazenly biased. The BBC and the BBC World Service used to be considered somewhat stodgy but mostly factual and correct but those days are gone.

The author has painted themselves into a corner. They refuse to do business with companies that use AI, and they try to support their business with teaching courses, which is also being impacted by AI.

They have a right to do business with whomever they wish. I'm not suggesting that they change this. However they need to face current reality. What value-add can they provide in areas not impacted by AI?

The Toyota community has been far down that road with the DCM module in the new gen cars and found that the car still managed to get updates out to Toyota even with 50 ohm terminating resistors in the antenna connectors: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/simpler-solution-for-dis... (see the posts by user "Disgruntled Scientist").

Unfortunately simply cutting power to the telematics module also disables the in-car microphone for handfree calling. Fully disabling telematics involves making a bypass harness that re-routes the microphone and speaker signals past the disabled DCM module.

Again, how much money do you need? At some point you are taking a risk, and I don't know any seer/medium/prophet/God/gods who both are talking and I trust (plenty are talking that I don't trust). Even if follow your plan of emergency savings from the 401k, you still don't need to max things out as you should be taking some risk as odds are it won't happen anyway - frankly if things get that bad you should spend more time enjoying life now as your life after that emergency will be bad no matter what and so in the worst case you should save less.

Snap and AppArmour work on non-Ubuntu operating systems but it's Canonical who pay for their continued development and derive the most benefit from them.

If Red Hat directly employ the main developers of Wayland and/or its most popular compositors and/or KDE/GNOME developers, they can then win customers for having better support for, and for having more access to land changes into these softwares, even if they're F/OSS adopted by other distros too.

Empirical evidence, for one. And the existence of fine-tuning, which allows you to artificially influence how a model responds to questions. This means we can't just ask an LLM, "do you see red?" I can't really even ask you that. I just know that I see red, and that many other philosophers and scientists in the past seem to agree with my experience, and that it's a deep, deep discussion which only shallow spectators are currently drawing hard conclusions from.
