> Sounds like you are saying the CPU doesn't talk to the GPU over EMIB.

Correct. There's a conventional link through the package substrate carrying the PCIe signals from the CPU to the GPU. The only EMIB on that product is between the GPU and its DRAM. That's why the GPU and its DRAM are adjacent, while the CPU is about 1cm away from them: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/12003/intel-8th-gen-cpu-di...

Intel would need to redesign the CPU die to accommodate an EMIB connection to the CPU. As it stands, an EMIB link would probably get in the way of lots of contacts that need to go to something other than the GPU, and EMIB wouldn't be worth the trouble for a relatively narrow and slow link like PCIe. The point of EMIB is to enable very wide and fast links between dies, so that inter-die communication is almost as fast as communication across a single die.

Not to pick on you specifically, but I've really grown to hate this type of response to this very common question. Most people new to a topic want an instructional manual or guide, not a technical reference. Man pages and tables of syscalls are decidedly the latter, and therefore primarily intended for people who are already familiar with the topics they cover.
I've gone through the first few chapters of this book, it's fine. The exercises are somewhat lacking though, in my opinion (the last course I did was nand2tetris, which was project-based, so perhaps I have unrealistic expectations). I started learning C concurrently, and didn't find it a problem.

What are you basing this on, and why would you say it as if it is obvious? This is exactly the sort of weird fatalism the GP is talking about.

There are already a billion cars on the planet, which is enough for 7 billion people with autonomous self-driving. 90% of US households own a car and the rest of the world will catch up with US wealth within a century. Even current-day-tech electric cars and nuclear power could be used to power them without carbon (at large expense but one that could be afforded after a century of economic growth).

> this is good news for almost everybody

I don't think CPU capacity failing to double every 18 months is good news for anybody. I'd rather have a monopolistic Intel churning out 2x powerful chips every 2 years than a competitive market giving 5% performance bump per year.
> Natural eyesight improvement really works. And the unified theory, in a form of an app, or a good book, maybe including findings from neuroplasticity, would be a great gift for humanity.

It SORT OF works in stable and predictable situations.

What seems to be happening is that your brain, in all of its neuroplastic glory, is learning to make better inferences from the broken information it receives.

The issue is that this works as long as the inferences are correct. That's fine when you are reading a newspaper, using the computer, etc. as the situation is stable and predictable.

The problem is that when you are suddenly confronted by a situation where the inferences are NOT correct--such as a nighttime emergency situation while driving. Now you are relying on the "uninferenced" data coming in from your eyes and that data is subpar with all the resultant problems.

The best solution is both: fix the data coming in with corrective lenses for unpredictable situations, and train your brain to make better inferences so you can deal with predictable situations better.
Exactly. This is good for BMW, and that's why they do it.

The initial keeper is happy, because it's cheaper for them. ~100% of them will lease it for <4 years, and you can consult my table to discover this.

Subsequent buyers are less happy... but, wait, fuck those guys. When N>0, the Nth owner pays owner N-1, not BMW. So previously BMW would see nothing from these transactions. And now there's a >0% chance these subsequent owners will pay them $80/year.

(Many software vendors have been trying to move to a subscription model. They want the recurring revenue. The iOS and Android video game markets have by now almost entirely switched to a free-to-play model - which is basically the same thing, just with a more compelling free sample, so they can sucker in the punters. This is basically the same!)

This might make a dent in resale values, but I assume the >0% chance of getting $80/year from future owners makes up for this. I do admit, though, that I really don't have a good feel for how this would play out.

Of course, people that buy a BMW with the intention of keeping it for >=5 years will get the shaft.... so I expect you can be sure that they've got good evidence that most keepers of a new BMW get rid of it before that point.

Empirical approaches and underlying theory are both valuable and should be used together. Abstract theory is useless by itself.

Hell, simply writing a program to accomplish some specific goal is an empirical exercise that further enriches existing understanding.

Of course, as you note, empirical guess-and-check knowledge with no theoretical understanding is also a problem.

Such very bad bugs get discovered regularly in Imagemagick. The most recent one is from earlier this month: https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/927 and over 200 were found in 2017: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=imagemagick (Of those, a bit under 100 were memory leaks, but the rest are things like buffer overflows.)

Meanwhile, bugs that allow malformed input to trustworthy code in JavaScript to subvert or escape the JavaScript interpreter - or the equivalent bugs in Python, Ruby, Perl, etc. - are extremely rare. Of the bugs in 2017 in V8, Node's JavaScript interpreter, every single one of them requires specific malicious Javascript: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=v8

It is very easy for a good programmer to accidentally write honest C code that has memory safety bugs that allow an attacker to take over your computer by sending it specially-crafted input. It is very hard for a good programmer to even intentionally write underhanded JS/Python/Ruby/Perl/etc. code that introduces one of these bugs without looking like it's trying to introduce one of them, let alone do so by accident.

Of the security bugs in V8 from 2017 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=v8, it looks like exactly one of them could be (and was) tripped by honest code, instead of code trying to subvert the interpreter: https://crbug.com/744584 and if I'm reading it right, it's not even data-dependent. Either the code has the bug or it's not.
There’s pretty much no such thing as a ‘hard vacuum’ in the real world. Even ultra-high vacuum systems always have particles still floating around (even space has a few hydrogen atoms per cubic metre, while the best vacuums we can produce on earth have a few orders of magnitude more particles).

At 100Pa (according to Wikipedia), the hyperloop is still a bit less than 0.1% of the pressure of the atmosphere, which is still a significant challenge given its size, expansion problems, and the risk of a small impact destroying the whole thing. The amount of energy required to pump down a hyperloop of any reasonable length (which could take days) would be immense.

I think with the expansion and impact risk, the only safe place for a hyperloop would have to be underground. Even then, I think it’s unlikely to ever really be practical.
Airliner-as-weapon was the "innovation" of the 9/11 attacks. That's one of the big reasons why the attacks worked, and why they'd never ever work again: previous hijackings were about using the plane + passengers as hostages, in order to achieve some other goal. So airline staff had a "script" of not risking lives to resist a hijack attempt, because hijackers typically didn't want to kill anyone, since killing people on the plane would reduce the number of hostages available to use later as leverage. The plan was to let them get the plane on the ground, then wait for the Delta Force guys to show up and deal with the situation. When that changed in the 9/11 attacks, you suddenly saw people on planes actively resist hijacking even when it risked lives (in fact, that started happening on 9/11, with the United 93 passengers once they found out what had been done with the other hijacked planes).

Meanwhile, people remain afraid of mass-casualty incidents, and so they've remained an effective tactic (there have been several subway/train attacks in the post-9/11 era) even if nobody managed to crash the trains into buildings.
I can say that I have negative 4 dioptri for sure (confirmed multiple times, contacts prescription is for this). Yet I can see street signs better than my friends with negative 2. I often asked eye doctors how this is possible and they don't seem to have a good answer. But that's what it is.

I also have trouble with low constrast settigs and nighttime, vs daytime. I think it may have something to do with the brain recognizing small things even if the image coming in is blurry, and it uses high contrast to do it. That's my guess.

But does Bates method really work, or is it all just placebo effect?

A bomb is going to be just as horrifying on a Hyperloop as it would be on a plane - killing hundreds and destroying even more infrastructure then a bomb on a plane would. Security is still a need.
I was kidding...but I was also thinking of the thread where people were discussing big vs little endian and the idea that since nobody uses big endian any more, it's not necessary to allow for it.
Without knowing all that much, I know that Earth was much more massive than Mars even before Theia impacted. I assume with the extra energy available, it would be much more likely to melt all the crust. Also, our plate tectonics is still going on, so any evidence of a thin area of crust would be erased by now.

To do it "properly", wrap it in `undoable`, then you don't need use `trigger`, and you can undo it normally. :)

var angle = i * 500;
var dist = i * 2;
var x = canvas.width * (1/2 + Math.cos(angle) * dist);
var y = canvas.height * (1/2 + Math.sin(angle) * dist);

Before, I also had this theory in my mind for a year or so.

But for example, right now I'm in Thailand, traveling here for the first time. Everything is new, unfamiliar and unpredictable, daytime, nightime.

This thought process ignores the fact that lots of money comes from rich people that make biased decisions based on these types of things. It's much harder to raise money if you aren't from a pedigreed school.

Saying "just start a company" is burying your head in the sand and ignoring the problem since many can't just start a company if it requires capital investment.
Car salesman love nothing more than someone who thinks they can out-negotiate them.

The mere fact that you believe there is a point where "all the normal haggling" is done means you probably don't negotiate very well.

I never understood this argument from objectivists.

If you use cold hard logic and take Ayn Rand at her word, then someone can totally screw others over as long as they were sure wouldn't personally get in trouble for it.

After all, the "as befits a rational being" is the only qualifier and that's so vague as to be a "no true scotsman" argument making her whole praise of selfishness moot. If selfishness is an amazing thing except when she doesn't like it, then her whole philosophy isn't objectivism at all, but back to the "subjective whims" and pronouncements of "mystics" she so derides.

You can't have it both ways. If altruism is criticized and selfishness is praised, then it can be perfectly rational for a person to screw others over as long as they know they won't personally get in trouble. I never got a good response from Objectivists about this.

I mean, if you think that $80/year is "gouging" then you are not in their target demographics. To wit, over the price of a new car (whether BMW or Kia), the $80/year does not begin to register.

>> I'm certainly in BMW's demo

No, you are not. Carmakers target people that will actually want to buy a new car. They do not target people that drive a 2002 or whatever rustbuckets, for obvious reasons.
This is why I hope, really hope, that bitcoin or some crypto currency becomes a stable value store, pushing people away from the likes of Gold, diamond. Almost all these resource based value stores are exploited - gold, diamonds, oil, animal skins, etc. There seems to be no end in sight to check the illegal ways of extracting these resources, since the profits are so high. The only way ,in my head at least, to check the illicit activities is to shift that value to something else which is not amenable to such exploitative extraction.

Agreed on both counts.

I was there in ... 2011? or 2013? I can't remember which year I visited the arcade museum, but it was fun. They were, while I was there, working on it, as in, some guys in the back were welding some... staircase or wall fixture or something - while I was walking around playing games.

I couldn't read much Russian, and couldn't speak it, but my brother could, and he had a chat with one of the owners of the museum. They were apparently fixing or rebuilding many of the games from whatever parts they could find - apparently it was quite a challenge to find original parts for some of the games.

I remember playing "sniper" and "sniper 2" and "gorodki" - gorodki was pretty fun, and probably would have been a hit in the US with a different name. :)

Sure it's possible. At the same time, that degree of calmness and kindness sound virtually like super-powers - very advanced stuff. Not many people at all could do that. Probably you'd have to also deal with a lot of your personal shit to not be triggered in those situations. I know I'm not so advanced as that.

I got a lot from a wide range of self-help books. e.g. early Wayne Dyer, SARK; psychological books, e.g. New Guide to Rational Living; spiritual books e.g. new age, hindu, sufi, xtian, buddhism of various kinds.. Too many to name, and everyone needs something different - I just took what was helpful from a wide range of stuff.

Since you seem to know the kind of things you want to improve in, maybe Ben Franklin's method would work (it sounds not very different from the catholic "examination of conscience" written about on this page) : rule up a page with a grid, with the virtues/habits to want to see in yourself down the side, the days along the top. Then at the end of each day, you put a black spot at each virtue/habit you've lapsed in that day.

Patience with yourself is vital, loving yourself - treating yourself like you would someone you really love. (I used to say awful things to myself in a way I'd never talk to another person).. Good luck! I get the feeling you're already better at this stuff than most people.
Actually, I don't even do any eye exercises.

Maybe this sounds to good to be true, but the main principle is that this natural eyesight improvement is not about exercises, but about re-learning the natural seeing habits.

When you re-learn to see things in a natural way (without strain, without fixation), you then see things clearly 24 h/day without any exercises.

It's all about habits, not exercises.
I was there a couple times and was discouraged from taking pictures in the stations. Not knowing the language, I was afraid of the warnings and didn't take too many pics, but ... yeah, the architecture and art is extremely impressive. Unless you live there and use it every day - you probably get to a 'meh' stage at some point. I do remember pretty much no one smiling or expressing much of any emotion, and remember there being just... in my mind, enormous numbers of people. I've been in NYC and London subways, but it felt like Moscow's were just handling far more people (and it felt ... faster too, once I got the hang of reading the maps).

BMW already has a major precedent here... after 3 years of owning one today, you pay:

$100/year for real-time advanced traffic in the nav system
$100/year for BMW Connected (send addresses and info to your car, unlock, locate etc. from your phone)

Sadly this feels like the latest attempt to increase subscription service revenue to help justify those network access fees and monetize in the serviceworld. :/
I didn’t get to the point of owning two BMW motorcycles, and the means to buy a BMW car should I have the desire, by letting $80/year slide. Maybe if one has FU money, but I don’t, and I therefore care.
