I worked in a cheese factory and I am familiar with all the tasks here, except we also churned the whey to get very salty butter which went into other products.

We used pallets and when you would have a small tower built on these things you would have to do the clingfilm wrap to hold it all together. This was not a big process, it would take a couple of minutes to do and a forklift would need to access the pallet to take it away as soon as this was done.

In this factory we made cheese on a truly industrial scale, however, the thought of getting a robot to do the clingfilm wrap would be anything but the first thing on the mind of the boss. So this cheese factory must be gigantic, up there with the gigafactory...

So is this any good, this string cheese in packs from this vast industrial operation? Is there some conclusion to this where America ends up with just one mega-dairy factory somewhere in the Mid-West with nobody else able to compete against the robots? For things like clingfilm wrapping to be too hard for humans to do?

I would like to see a different approach, a highly robotised but small scale cheese factory, on the back of a lorry. Something that can be taken to the farm so that we can have 'single farm' cheeses.
They are delivering a superior battery with more capacity and performance than what you actually ordered. The only difference is that they figure to make up the difference when eventually the car is sold back to tesla and then they can "activate" the extra part of the battery of the owner didn't already pay for the extra upgrade somewhere along the way and then resell the car for much more than what they paid since the car is now a couple models better.
I went ahead and wrote one in Golang (the graphics instructions are still incomplete because I don't want to deal with SDL's Golang port that's not using my mac's hardware acceleration for some reason) a few months back -- following a fantastic screencast on doing the same in C++. It taught me a lot about the innards of how any machine executes instructions, what can be done using those instructions, the layout of memory, registers and how to use them, so on and so forth.

I'm still a newbie to Virtual Machines but I would highly recommend anyone to try their hand at writing a Chip8 VM.
> I think compiler implementation is a particular sweetspot for functional languages.

Compilers often use graphs as intermediate representation, and functional languages often are not a good fit for dealing with them.

The shitboxes definitely "break" TLS. That's why firms buy them in the first place. A firm that was using smartcards with the characteristics you describe would presumably figure out something other way to pretend to prevent data exfil.

I had no issues at all getting a 1080 when those were new. I don’t think the next generation will really be that bad either. Even with what happened with the Vega release, it was easier to find a Vega GPU than it was to find a Nintendo Switch when those were just coming out.
I never thought of processor affinity as a VLSI topic. I mean you can muck about with it just using your OS, right? Also I did EE in college and it seemed a lot more low-level than that. Semiconductor principles, digital filters, JK Flip-flops, that kind of thing. I guess you end up meeting NUMA and affinity somewhere along the way.

The point the guy is making is that when you're coding this type of thing you need to understand how the computer actually calculates things, rather than just have a vague idea of a machine like you might if you code python. In python and those types of languages a lot of the inner workings are abstracted away. You can sort of just imagine an Oompa Loompa (a thread) reading the code, seeing the instructions (x = a + 2 if y==3 else a - 2 ) and going out to find the value of a in a box and putting in the value of x in another box. No idea where a and x boxes are, how close they are to each other. No idea about how that branching instruction works either, he just checks at the time and decides.

By contrast when you're writing for performance you want stuff to be in cache, so you need to have an idea of a machine that includes cache. Specifically the idea that the further away you are from the registers, the longer things take, and that some cache is shared while some isn't. You also want to think about a machine that can speculate and do branch prediction, so you'll need to think about how to write the code so the branch predictor mostly gets it right. I think the top stackoverflow answer is about that.

Affinity and NUMA are talking to this kind of machine (which is still abstract of course) which has a bit more detail than the Oompa Loompa.

>> Legal and private entities that use the emblem and the name of the City of Sarajevo...

With the word "and" in there, I'm thinking this is more about protecting the emblem. Using an emblem (not a flag) of a government entity in certain ways might be construed as conveying something to the content. In other words, putting the emblem along with the name of the city might lead people to think a web page was produced on behalf of the city. I seriously doubt using the name of the city like in the blog is a problem.

I suspect in regard Sarajevo the author is deliberately making the situation sound more absurd than it really is. Having said that, I think his point regarding architectural works is valid. Publishing pictures of publicly visible objects - and buildings in particular - should not have legal hinderances.

Can you update the first sentence of this wikipedia article to point out that a transpiler is not a compiler? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-to-source_compiler

It would help squelch the confusion for future forum bike shedding.

Someone seems to try and point this out every time it comes up like they're winning some sort of pedantry points, but I don't see how they could be. Please illuminate me so I understand the next time someone says this and possibly join la resistencia.
Regulating speech is a very big deal, including when people or companies fabricate property rights they don't have. Most people, when confronted with strong language asserting such rights, will comply with it -- as you say, they're not lawyers, so how should they know which legalese is and isn't valid? This stifles full usage of the common good of ideas.
Hey, I think I finally understood and it seems worth checking out, but I couldn't find a description of what is it you actually do anywhere on the site. I think the homepage should include a quick description and example if you want to draw people's attention.
What the hell? I can’t believe I spent time for this. It’s just elevator music. It is played in the hotel corridors around the elevators. Oh well, at least I can listen to it from my room now.

One would have thought the next step would have been to arrange for better (i.e. more metal) elevator music? If it's multicast, it would be surprising if there were a lot of authentication on the speaker side.
> it won't work perfectly from the get go and you'll end up writing an assembler, disassembler and debugger. There are tons of documentation and implementations out there to help you out.

It's really interesting, but I found some bits of the "end game" frustrating, I didn't finish mine because I was never sure how keyboard events had to be handled in the face of cycles coalescing (the emulator's rendering loop works at 60fps and the timers are 60Hz, but IIRC most programs which are are written assuming 500~1000Hz, this causes issues when a key is pressed over an entire frame — or more — and the program uses SKP or SKNP rather than the better-behaved LDxK).

Then there's the weird stuff like the SYS opcode which kinda exists but should not be implemented but has two sub-opcodes which should be.

I wonder if there's a "test harness" for chip8 emulators somewhere (hook in a chip8 emulator somehow and it tells you what you fucked up).
Unless you're trying to claim that AAPL is supposed to be decentralized I don't think they're comparable at all.

By all means make a "Ripple Company" and own 100% of its stock, but if you grab a massive supply of the tokens for yourself you can't claim to have an interest in decentralization.
> Since I am unfamiliar with such a dumb court verdict from the US, I assume that I am free to show you the photo of the State of Liberty during the night.

FWIW, in the US, all photos taken from public property are legal. Also, a photo of a building can't violate the building's copyright. Building another building that looks like it can, but taking a photo of it can't.

The effects on prices are quite bad, but the pendulum always comes back in the other direction two. Every GPU shortage leads to the second hand market getting flooded a few years later with used mining GPUs.

So in effect we get short term problems, but if you time your purchases correctly you can get deals too.
Can I buy into the google software ecosystem + Google Home without trading in my MBP/iPhone/iPad for a Chromebook/Pixel/Nexus?
Here we go again...

Ok a couple of quick quotes:

"I say 'OK Google, goodbye when I leave the house to turn off the lights" k. I just turn off the lights. Why do I need a Google Home to do that? Why can't I do that with Homekit or Echo?

" grew frustrated by Apple's terrible iCloud pricing, and how seemingly great Google Photos appeared to be"

iCloud's pricing isn't terrible, it's just fine. They don't mine my photos and data, and I pay $2.99/month for 200gb. Some people don't understand that "free" photo storage isn't actually free.

"First, Google Assistant alongside Google Home is wild. When you own a Pixel, saying OK Google at home activates your speakers and your phone"

yawn

"Apple's direction, for better or for worse, is to lock you into a single track and make it agonizing to use anything but the official services"

Really?

Look, I think the Pixel 2 is a great phone and Google has some great products, even if I disagree with their business practices, but this article is over-the-top bad.
To be fair, I don’t think anyone working in CPUs ever claimed that branch prediction is AI.

They're getting a claim to part of the companies assets, which will be liquidated and distributed if it goes bankrupt (after paying the debtors). They can overpay for that right, of course, but they're not getting 0 out of the deal.

I know that, given the greatest minds in history have worked so hard on the problem, I'm missing something. What is it?

When I think about the problem on an individual atom level, the rising up the bucket doesn't seem hard to explain at all. Friction from the bucket to the outer molecules makes the water molecules want to move in the same direction (slowing the bucket sightly, I'd imagine). Once those ones start moving, they too will pull along the nearby molecules via friction. Then momentum will cause them to move towards the outer edge of the bucket, pushing each other and pushing some up the walls of the bucket.

I'm not being facetious here- what's the problem? Have we tried the same experiment with extremely low-friction buckets?
I always find these kinds of articles, as this one, to have too little examples of the message they are trying to convey. It makes it feel as if the writer came up with the subject first and when they tried to find examples to back up their idea they couldn't find any. Maybe writers should then forget about their article or bench it for later, so that they can gather examples over a longer period of time. It just makes your message so much more compelling when you can show the reader what you mean than asking them to take your word on it.
Perhaps electricity costs there are higher than in the U.S. so mining is less profitable?

Although I don’t have these issues in Ohio, either. You can find any NVidia card you want easily, and only AMD Vega is in short supply at the moment. Still doable though, if you’re willing to put in a bit of effort.

So... that picture of the Statue of Liberty is actually one of a copy in Tokyo. The bridge is the Rainbow Bridge, not one in New York. We also don't have a copy of the Eiffel Tower in New York, nor do we put the anti-collision lights on top of buildings like they do in Tokyo.

I would suggest speaking with a tax attorney. Depending on how long you've owned it, and how much you paid for it, the sale of your house may constitute income, which would be taxed at 39.6% and (at this level) also subject you to the AMT.

That may limit some of your options. If it turns out your sale isn't tax exempt, renting the property out through a property management firm or reinvesting in real estate may make the most sense. Otherwise I'd echo what others have said, some sort of CD.

Where I live even Google Maps isn't very good, and Apple Maps is a joke. Local competitors are miles ahead at car navigation. E.g. around here Google Maps doesn't seem to know about road closures (ones that have been closed for a year and a half after an earthquake) whereas local competitors will tell you "in 2 km, due to construction the road will reduce to one lane"

I took a tour of a high frequency trading firm once and they had a decent-sized division dedicated to their hardware customization for the machines they would place directly into the exchanges, which had chips they programmed directly. And of course it was all C++. Most of the staff who worked there were very specialized in low-latency C++ even if they didn't work directly in the hardware division as well.

Unrelated to the article: I really liked the picture of the Statue of Liberty in the article, but having been to Liberty Island myself, I thought it looked sort of off (there are no trees in front of the statue and no bridges behind it, and likely nowhere you could actually stand to get that particular angle and framing, without using some crazy telephoto setup). At first I thought the pyramidical skyscraper in the background was the Transamerica building in San Francisco and perhaps this was a shot of a replica Statue in the Bay area. But again, the bridge was unfamiliar and the apparent distance from the statue to the bridge and the city behind it did not fit with my recollection of San Francisco Bay geography.

But after doing a little bit of poking around at where replicas of the Statue of Liberty may be found (there are lots of them!), this one appears to be on the artificial island of Odaiba in Tokyo Bay. That's Tokyo in the background and the Rainbow Bridge. (See the wikipedia page on Odaiba[0] for a similarly framed shot.)

Anyway it's a great shot of the replica, the bridge, and the city of Tokyo. Credit for the photo is down at the end of the article[1], but whether the author of the piece realized what the photo was actually of or not, I'm now savoring the additional layers of context and irony the photo brings to the piece.

Vendor lock in through making products working together is not only present in Apple's ecosystem but in Google's and also Facebook .

It looks like they changed their ecosystem to use Google Products because they have more feature that they want. All of these decisions are valid. To be honest the biggest issue with Google is the support and longevity of the software that they create. On Apple it seems like they are slowly moving to more of a service oriented platform and are attempting to overhaul it but at the cost of their Prosumers.

I really hope that eventually in the "post screen era" that we don't have to buy devices that are owned by one company.
