Ant Financial raises $14B in world's largest-ever single fundraising
I think the bigger story is that Intel is really starting to sweat. You don't pull this kind of stunt if you have an unassailable market lead - you do it when you're really worried about your competition. It's been a long, long time since Intel had any real competition at the high end.
In college I had a (sort of) BS job at a real estate start up that was doing home renovations. They hired an accounting consultant to help them get their books together (dude was 75 years old, and they paid him something like 10$k/mo for his consulting) to go to a bank for more money or something along those lines. One of his ideas was to move everything they had out of quickbooks online into quickbooks enterprise and remap all of their accounts into this bizarre configuration. So they hired me to automate this process (they had hundreds of accounts, each with sub accounts and whatnot).

Anyway the guy was mercurial as all heck, so every day pretty much was spent starting from scratch and months were spent just figuring out whether they wanted to move to enterprise or not so I had to write multiple solutions which never got used. The manager who hired let me do different work when the consultant was MIA so I ended up writing some web scrapers and different automation tools that nobody ever used for anything. Eventually they figured out that the consultant was scamming them and fired him. Thankfully that gravy train lasted right up to graduation and I was able to get a real job.

I guess it wasn't so much that the job was BS, but that people at the company had a whole lot of vague ideas about 'increasing productivity' that I was perfectly happy to oblige, but unfortunately none of them were really interested in actually taking advantage of them. So the stuff I wrote pretty much just sat there, and people seemed perfectly happy doing everything manually. Super weird to me. Also it was stressful because I kept feeling like I wasn't actually producing anything and that I would be fired at any moment but the management did not seem to mind that they were paying me a decent amount of money to play with code all day.
If I drastically improve the braking distance of a car, but in the same update I also make it so that the car crashes itself into a wall and kills you, is the car safer? Hint: no

You don't have enough information to come to that conclusion.

It's quite common to have to brake hard to avoid a cousin. It's pretty uncommon to see the specific scenario triggering this crash behavior.

I spent a bit of time with Godot earlier this year and had a similar experience. I also found a lot of stuff (especially for 3D) undocumented or only very lightly documented, making learning pretty hard. Finally, the editor has UX problems: the layout and workflow is inconsistent and confusing (for example, Carl-s saves the scene always, if you’re editing a resource then you have to manually click a save icon because Carl-s doesn’t save it). Also, gdnative is/was still much too early to use in earnest, so a lot of the potential wasn’t yet fully realised (but strides were being made and those issues will be fixed if they aren’t already). I also had a ton of difficulty getting simple 2D tile maps to work properly (y sorting issues, performance issues) and the tile editor is quite lacking (you can import Tiled maps though, but I had some problems with that too). Finally, there were a few issues in the issue tracker where the devs seemed very dismissive of problems people were having. While I’m sure it’s just because developer time is limited and they need to prioritise, but it came across very ”I don’t have this problem so it’s not a problem” which left a bad taste...

With all that negativity aside, Godot does a lot of things well and seems to be picking up steam. I really like the scene tree system (although I’m much more interested in Unity’s brand new ECS and job system than Godots OOP approach, personally, but I’m a functional programmer at heart) and I learned a lot I out physically based rendering thanks to Godot <3

But the developer experience is very sub-par compared to Unity (which has a very smooth onboarding experience) or Unreal. I hope the devs dedicate some time to UX, because Godot would benefit greatly from it and now while it’s gaining traction is a good time to address those issues. Godot has a lot of potential and is a fantastic project.
I think the problem is that many people at Intel are just doing the rest and vest most of the time. For those people, their logic is like -

- Why bother pushing for higher core count? Just leave it to the marketing department to convince customers 4 cores are enough.

- Why bother pushing for 10nm? Just leave it to the marketing department to talk about Intel's fancy 14nm++++++++++.

- Why bother pushing for higher frequency? Just leave it to the cooling solution vendors to bring in their 1400W aircon.

These are exactly what Intel actually did to its home users.

If you look at the whole drama, the most shocking parts are -

- They didn't deliver anything new when they know full well that AMD has been busy pushing for higher core count for the last 12 months.

- No one from Intel's management team is going to step down for such PR disaster.

Customers are lucky to have AMD.

When did that happen? I'd given up on Google News, it reached a point where it only wanted to show me articles from the Guardian or CNN even though I read a wide range of outlets. I just went back and looked again and there does indeed seem to be a better mix of stories now, although I am still very skeptical - the News algorithm is even less documented than the web search ranking algorithms and it would be tough to rebuild the trust. Google is clearly run by people who feel they need to "make the world a better place" through subtle conditioning of their algorithm outputs these days... very different to how it used to be. I'm not sure I trust them to rank news, even if improved.

Maybe I suck at reading the standard, but it seems that type punning via unions is defined in C99:

"If the member used to access the contents of a union object is not the same as the member last used to store a value in the object, the appropriate part of the object representation of the value is reinterpreted as an object representation in the new type as described in 6.2.6 (a process sometimes called "type punning")."
If I understand correctly, you're saying that Germany and Russia shouldn't have had nuclear weapons because they would have used them, while arguing that it was right that they went to the Americans, in spite of the fact that they used them.

This does not seem like a valid position.

Except that that can end up costing even more.

A common "cost saving" measure in companies is to get rid of various admin staff, people like PAs and the ones who book travel etc.

Now everyone has to spend a bunch of time doing work that a £20KPA first-jobber could be doing.

In some cases (e.g. scheduling meetings), the amount of time doing that gets bigger the higher up you get. This means that a £200KPA executive probably now spends a fifth of their time on grunt work.

In other cases (e.g. international travel booking), someone who has it as their day-to-day job will get it done correctly in a fraction of the time of anyone else.

You know it's time to move when either you've lost motivation for what you do, and/or your KPIs aren't encouraging enough even after you've already adapted the model a few times. As to figuring out your next thing, ask yourself what you'd spend so many hours doing without counting the hours. It's always worked for me. Hope this helps.

Steve Martin, famous American comedian:

You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes!

You say.. "Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?"

First.. get a million dollars.

Now.. you say, "Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, 'You.. have never paid taxes'?"

Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: "I forgot!"

How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don't say "I forgot"?

Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, "I forgot armed robbery was illegal."

Let's suppose he says back to you, "You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, 'I forgot'?"

Two simple words: "Excuuuuuse me!!"

As we both say in Holland: we are not made of sugar. But go read Linus rant now and ask yourself: would this really classify as an inappropriate rant in Holland? Or are you just, parroting the default (mostly from the US) critique on Linus?

Because this whole 'Linus isn't tactfull' is a false comparision. He is more approachable than any other person in that sort of position. Since there isn't a big filter at the door based on who somebody is but there is a verbal filter at the table. Very egalitarian if you ask me. Very Dutch like.

And our directness is often referred to as rude. It would look better on you to not blindly follow in that judgement when it concerns others.

For example:
>Maybe you can chalk your reaction to your apparent false sense of superiority over friendliness and, it seems, Americans

If out of the mouth of Linus would be one of those 'look at how insensitive Linus is' posts. Something with the pot and the kettle.

Sub ambient cooling with all the insulating material to prevent condensation. The unit itself is like 1k7W.

However, the best part is that now Intel cannot argue that overclocking is unintended as they bloody set 2.7Ghz chip to run at 5Ghz, albeit for like 5seconds. (I doubt the cooling would even survive a minute)
It was a sub-ambient cooler, NOT a water cooler. I'd tolerate a water cooler and 5GHz on a prebinned chip. Watercooling would have been amazing but it was phase change.

Note: Watrecooling is ok for everyday use, subambiend = condensation... i.e. competitive overclocking area.

I doubt there is difference between about how often people resent other people around the world. But I do consider it more humane if resentment isn't hidden under the surface. It's easier to trust Linus than a tactfull politician. That should make us all think.
So he got his start by being toxic toward what has become the most-deployed OS in the world.

This is not aimed at you specifically, but I find this decorum policing off punting. Like the U.S. military may be able to control what they say, but some of the things it has actually done are less than nice.

I don't care that Linus swears, he hasn't invaded anyone or harmed anyone as far as I know. I don't care that Trump swears, I care about the stupid stuff he actually does.

Linus may swear, but he also protects us from bad code and I value that, because in the end, words don't do anything, actions do.
Any idea if those factories outright closed, or did many of them move location to somewhere else?

In military terms Linus is the president of his world (the Linux kernel).

In the military with all the hierarchy this wouldn't happen because no small private would be arrogant enough to throw their opinion in the top generals and president face without being asked.

The whole point of the rudeness is that it does give space for people to voice their opinion irregardless of their rank. Only at the risk of being somewhat insulted.
I've started to take a look at the binary that was uploaded - it seems it wasn't just Gitea that got hit by this, but also https://github.com/opencompany/www.opencompany.org which too has a strange release associated with the repository.

It doesn't have anything to do with censoring your favorite conservative search result.

But that's not correct. That's exactly what it's to do with.

A big part of the philosophy of conservatism is to accept the world as you find it. Conservatives, at least in theory (not saying the Republicans are a great implementation of the philosophy), eschew large social engineering schemes, they eschew attempts to remould attitudes via manipulation of language and so on. These are all traits associated with the opposing end of the political spectrum. Think how important re-engineering people's thinking via language was in Orwell's 1984, for example.

So now we have Google and related AI researchers announcing that when an ML model learns the actual fact that most doctors are male, this is "bias" and it needs to be "corrected". This is Orwellian. It's not at all biased, it's accurate. But because of some vague, handwavy assumption that if AIs believe gender ratios are 1:1 in medicine then somehow ... via some obscure chain of action ... more girls will become doctors, the basic reality of the matter is justified in being inverted. Or possibly, more boys will choose NOT to be doctors. Quite why this outcome is better than the existing status quo is never explained with any rigour - it's ideology.

This is the very style of social engineering that conservatism rejects, on the grounds that it so often goes wrong or has unintended side effects. So whilst I am interested to see that Google is deciding to walk the walk here when it comes to AI and weapons, I nonetheless find their statement of moral principles to be quite chilling and frankly, it renders their most important products useless for me. Their take on this isn't news, but it's sad to see them doubling down on it. I do not wish to be subtly manipulated via AI driven translation or re-rankings into not believing things about the world that are true but upset radical feminists.

It's especially sad for me because I worked there for so many years.

The post makes it sound like it's a copy of https://github.com/cjb/serverless-webrtc uploaded to IPFS; examining the code [1] shows that '23.21.150.121' is hardcoded for STUN.

This was seemingly set up by Wesley Dawson [2] at Mozilla in 2013, at which point it was an EC2 machine in AWS us-east-1. It subsequently made it into various gists and projects as a public STUN server.

Later in 2013 Mozilla changed over to using a hostname in Firefox instead [3], and much later Firefox 41 removed [4] Mozilla's STUN servers from being defaults.

I'm not sure how one would go about confirming that this service is still pro bono and not malicious, and whether it's likely to stick around in the future.

They seem to be losing faith in themselves. I thought intel, after a decade of market domination, was sitting on piles of options and brains. But AMD made them drown (on the PR side) way faster than I expected. The only thing they had was Premium 10cores models. No innovative design or idea.

> Facebook is not using ACL.

> I probably should stop trying to provide context.

I think the downvotes are far more simple than other respondents have suggested: the context you have provided here is not correct.

Facebooks post visibility management supports lists of people that are used to control access to the information. The usual defaults are "everyone" or "all friends" but you can setup others such as "friends except those wankers".

It isn't a more complex ACL arrangement (as seen for instance in NTFS file permissions) but there are lists that are used to control who gets access.

> The abstraction is quite different.

Unless of course I'm the one being incorrect... Care to state which pattern/abstraction that are using and why it is best not to be described as ACLs?

Can you explain how military makes a nation prosperous?

Somehow I cannot comment deeper in this thread - so I'll comment here.
