Yes!

Pipelines can be incredibly rewarding if you spend the time to really dig into it and do a bunch of trial-and-error.

Convincing other people on your team to do that with the current state of documentation is painful, and understandably so.

The documentation really needs a lot of attention.
You do want it to out-of-order and branch predict and speculate enough to issue speculative RAM reads as soon as a possibly needed address is available, to hide RAM latency (as long as rollbacks of speculatively executed operations hide the loaded values in the cache so the speculation leaves no side effects), that is important for performance.

In that picture (thanks!) I see the FPU is big, the decoder is big, the branch predictor is big, the rest is probably needed. Maybe emulated FPU is good for some workloads, maybe ability to program in microinstructions instead of x86-64 is useful too. But maybe silicon area is not the expensive thing (dark silicon, etc.).

Interesting concept. What type of data science do you guys do?

Omitting sufficient detail to understand the scale and significance of a result is one of the most common types of manipulation in statistical data presentation. Not saying that this post was specifically trying to be manipulative, but it is very reasonable to presume the goal is manipulation and work back from there, since it is so, so common in published academic literature, newspaper infographics, etc.
>...but it hasn't shown any sign of trying to understand the problem that the system was solving. In this case, how to make sure an unified, standardized product is being produced.

Yes. They were trying to solve a non-issue in a way that aligned with the ideological (social and economic) position of the communist movement. I get it. I just refuse to interpret those kind of actions in a charitable light by linking them to modern professional organizations that create voluntary standards. It's similar to looking at the way the Venezuelan government destroyed their economy and arguing that it is no different from typical social welfare policy of a Western market-based nation because it was all done to combat poverty or something.

It's pure distortion to interpret this cookbook as merely a quality or standards measure. It misses the mark and distorts the reality of why it existed.

>How do I know? I was born, raised and lived in that system.

I grew up in Eastern Europe. I've seen it first-hand as well.

I understand that not every law or regulation was meant to be push an ideological position but let's be clear, it is no coincidence that the identified problem and the particular solution on this matter just so happen to neatly align with ideological considerations. Considerations like:

1) top-down regulation that mandated what a 'real' Czech meal is.

2) needing to wait years for permission to deviate from the official recipes.

3) maintaining the system long past the original problem (if it ever existed) became a complete non-issue.

4) mandating meals that align with the optics of what a 'proletariat' meal should be.

5) aligning this policy with economic policies that combat self-inflicted problems of shortages, inflation, lack of external trade.

etc,etc,etc

>many foods that were produced by these recipes (ČSN means Czechoslovak State Norms) went downhill quality-wise

Maybe, but I think even that interpretation is flawed. What you interpret as quality going 'downhill', is really a product stratified across different price/quality levels to cater to different markets. You can get high-quality meals for more money, and lower-quality meals for less money. That does not mean quality went down, it means choices increased when a suffocating and market-distorting regulation is lifted.
I guess that's the difference between a workstation that's designed for performance and versatility before cost, and a PC, which is made to be affordable first. When the PC industry started, it was very much about repurposing whatever low-cost CPUs and off-the-shelf components were available, and finding ways of packaging this into a semi-usable machine for less than $1000. Things have changed quite a bit since, but much of the do-it-cheap rushed-to-market type of compromises are still with us.
Except that the rest of the world has long ago figured out the solution to this that does not involve strangers keeping my card behind a bar - they come to your table with a terminal(or you come to them), you enter the card + pin and preauthorize payment. Done - you keep your card, they can charge you if you run away, your card numbers are not compromised. Easy.

It would not affect the eyes of pedestrians.

The Ouster OS-1 in the article, as well as all other automotive lidars that I know of, are class 1 laser eye-safe, meaning that it is safe even if you put your eye right up to it for hours.

The power also decreases dramatically once you get far away from it, since the laser beams spend most of their time pointed in different directions, and the collimation is not perfect.
Thanks, I look forward to see it! But I think you're missing the point - medical records or homemade porn are not subject to decision of external human power against which we might consider to conspire by exchanging information.
Want to help the elderly? Then help with the logistics needed to get current first generation well-characterized senolytic drugs into widespread use. The failing health of the elderly is the root of every challenge related to old age, and that failing health is driven by the fundamental causes of aging such as accumulation of senescent cells. To the degree that rejuvenation can be achieved with reliability and low cost, such as through these senolytic drugs, it should be a priority.

The dasatinib + quercetin combination for clearance of senescent cells is an excellent candidate on the basis of cost, evidence, and amount of information on these compounds, as well as a clear, low-cost, legal path for companies to bring it to patients. The eventual size of the market is every human being much over the age of 50.

1) Senescent cell accumulation is one of the root causes of aging, supported by decades of scientific evidence [1]. In lab mice, removal of senescent cells has partially reversed progression of osteoarthritis, lung disease, kidney disease, tauopathies such as Alzheimer’s disease, and a long and growing list of other age-related conditions.

2) A single treatment of dasatinib + quercetin clears a fraction of senescent cells in aged mice, leading to lasting improvement in health as a result [2]. Monthly treatment of dasatinib + quercetin starting in late old age reverses measures of age-related decline and extends life by 36% in mice [3].

3) Dasatinib is a generic chemotherapy drug, originally approved for the treatment of cancer in 2006 as Sprycel. Pharmacology and side-effects in humans are well characterized [4]. Quercetin is a widely used flavonoid supplement. Quercetin is not effective versus senescent cells when used on its own [5].

4) The non-profit Betterhumans is running human trials of dasatinib + quercetin, as is the Kogod Center at the Mayo Clinic.

5) Dasatinib costs less than US$100 per dose if obtained from manufacturers, deriving a human dose from the mouse studies. Perhaps US$200 per dose in the form of Sprycel via the pharmaceutical market. Quercetin costs less than a dollar per dose.

6) A drug approved by the FDA for one use can be prescribed by physicians for other uses, if in their professional judgment it is safe and effective. This is known as off-label use, and is commonplace for many medications.

Apple Warns iPhones Have a Serious Problem
There are plenty of flaws in the underlying technology, and most especially in real world implementations, but I don't know that any of them result in the chip being cloned. Anybody?

An example I know about with one of those flaws was the "Yes card" which MITMs a real (presumably stolen) card and arranges that the conversation goes like this:

* Legitimate terminal "Hi, I'm a Legitimate terminal, who are you?"

* Real card: "Hi, I'm Sizzle's Real Payment Card from Real Bank"

* Legitimate terminal "OK, let's do an offline transaction. I want Sizzle to authorise payment of 24.50. They entered PIN 1234, is that OK?"

MITM Yes card blocks this and tells the card instead:

"OK, let's do an offline transaction. I want Sizzle to authorize payment of 24.50, but I can't be bothered with a PIN so let's skip that"

* Real card: "OK, yes, payment of 24.50 sounds fine" (cryptographically signed message)

So this way you don't need the correct PIN, since the card never realises you entered a PIN, and so the transaction OK simply never mentions the PIN at all. You don't clone the card though, you need a real card, you're just using something like a Confused Deputy attack where the card and terminal misunderstand the situation.

A _smart_ backend at the bank could identify this fraud when the offline transactions are processed, hours or days later, but many did not, and even if they did spot it the fraudsters got away with their transaction meanwhile. The permanent "fix" for this was to roll out new cards and terminals, given this costs money it was probably not done widely or quickly.
damn this is embarrassing considering how much PR and marketing MIT puts out. That image is almost comical, it's as if somebody just got tired and holds a loose definition of "removing an object from a picture".
Overwriting the EXIF geo headers of an image file (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif#Geolocation) is hardly AI.
Jenkins X can help compete effectively with other tools since it automates your entire CI/CD; from creating the Pipelines, setting up your Environments, creating Preview Environments on each Pull Request and then performing GitOps based promotion through your Environments on each release.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Jenkins ecosystem expand to offer similar automated CI/CD for other platforms too (e.g. Terraform / Ansible / VMs etc)
AI hacking
Hello,
Skynet is here. G/FB/Tw are AIs only, infiltrating everywhere. Since my open attack on $^hitBerg from within (script injection hoax with political msg) things went to another level. Alpab/FB/TW are the same AI nets. You don't get attacked by a twisted hacker at some point but by AIs.
I'm not even sure you can still do something valuable with x86 since all bios are broken (2007+ at least). A decent ru hack and your sec is flawed at bios level.
Sometimes you benefit from shutting everything down and do drawings.
Depending on the product, this model could be problematic - should you provide ongoing security updates beyond the paid period?

If no, then a big chunk of your installbase is going to be insecure. Some people might feel that's unethical, or too much of a bad press worry.

If yes, then you need to patch a growing number of branches with libaries that might make breaking changes requiring re-writes in your code.

I guess Microsoft ran into this problem when the End Of Lifed windows XP.

That said, for someone who just has an app they are writing and wants to make a little money, it's probably overthinking.
I'm trying to get you to invest in my fund. I give you a set of cherry picked graphs that indicate I'm earning an unbelievable amount of money with minimal to no variance. Then somebody else shows you a complete graph showing my longterm profits (which are rather different than what I lead you to believe) and other data indicating that I was being somewhat less than completely honest with you.

What's going to be your opinion of the value of my fund? Of me? Did I do anything wrong, or can I just claim I was only trying to "appeal to the audience's emotion"? Myopic thinking and Machiavellian logic are a great combination to undermine the very ends you aim to achieve.
I‘ve switched to a T480s Thinkpad. Best keyboard I ever had, OK touchpad, good matte HiDPI screen, USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, Ethernet, 1TB SSD, 24GB Ram, much nicer case than Macbooks even, price 2300 USD. Only downside: Hinge doesn‘t open with one hand and ... it has no MacOS. Takes a while to be as productive on Win or Linux but the hardware is absolutely worth it when compared to the mess that is the new MBPs.
So this would fall under the assumption that they could not be jammed, in which case the trick is to stay out of range, and destroy them before launch.

Missiles like this with ranges of 100s of kilometers will be very expensive, and can be intercepted by cheaper missiles/drones (or soon, lasers).

This was flagged and I've vouched for it as I really don't see why. I'm hopeing it wasn't because Musk fans are just flagging anti Musk content, I believe that his community is above that kind of behavior. Perhaps a mod has the ability to review,or a flagger can comment on their reasons. I think the topic of the article is something that should be discussed in the tech sector.

I actually origianlly came here to say it's interesting that the article picks Gates as a counter example as during his working career he was known for being ruthless, and found guilty of anti competitive behavior by several jurisdictions. I agree he's a role model now, but not sure he has always been.

Analytical Flavor Systems | Manhattan - NYC | Full-Time | Onsite | http://www.Gastrograph.com/ Position: Full-Stack Engineer, Application Engineer, DevOps, Data Scientist Application & Data Stack: Javascript, React & React Native, GraphQL, Docker, Spark, R, postgres/MySQL, AWS
Team: we're a diverse 6 person company (across Data, Engineering, Chemistry, and Biz). Everyone gets trained as a professional taster.

Gastrograph AI is an artificial intelligence platform for modeling human sensory perception to predict consumer preferences of food & beverage products. We help food and beverage companies develop new products and optimize their existing brands by predicting the optimal flavor, aroma and texture for target consumer cohorts.

Our Services

_Innovation Management_: New product development, flavor profile optimization, & portfolio management (multi-product optimization).

_Cognitive Marketing_: Product description optimization to prime consumers to like a product more by purposely engineering a perception bias.

_Deep Market Insights_: Predictions for emergent market preferences by region and demographic.

The Position(s)

_Engineering_: We're currently looking in two specific areas: (1) full stack engineers with experience with React, GraphQL, and React Native to work on our web app for clients and our mobile app for tasters. (2) Streaming infrastructure focused engineers capable of integrating the data pipeline and outputs of machine learning models into an easy to use management platform.

_Data Science_: Data science is central to the value and insights we provide for our clients. We didn't build a data science team to optimize our product's marketing spend, sales funnel, or client retention – we built a data science team to build our product. We are a team of data scientists that understand our clients and turn nebulous business goal into quantitative decision metrics and predictive models to optimize those metrics. The extensive role of data scientists at Analytical Flavor Systems allows us to invest in their education across sensory perception (standard sensory science so they know what we're improving and replacing), tasting experiences (so they appreciate the products we work on and understand how the data is collected), production knowledge, and data science tear-downs (a meeting where the team collaboratively attempts to find and fix problems, try new techniques, and debate the philosophical implications of a model's construction).

Next Steps

Please contact Jason Cohen at JasonCEO@Gastrograph.com to apply.
Putting an elevator (or more likely a sky hook) at a lunar Langrange point makes some sense, because the tether doesn't have to reach the entire distance if we allow for 0.2km/sec injection/drop-off speeds. That's important, because lunar elevator/hooks are much longer than earth based equivalents, even though their strength and taper ratios are much more achievable (e.g. polyethylene 4:1). You'd want to keep launched weight for the tether as low as possible.

A huge advantage is that a hook at the far lunar Lagrange 2 would be very close to escape velocity (e.g. asteroids or GEO).

The main reason for 144 Hz refresh back then was not to tame normal CRT flicker. It was to get 72 Hz refresh of a stereoscopic pair. You had to use really fast phosphors to make this work and not have severe blurring/ghosting of the left and right images. Monitors intended for non-stereoscopic use could have slower phosphors which helped reduce the flickering effect at lower refresh rates.

Having this rapid refresh helped give persistence of vision for each eye, where if you had subdivided 72 Hz into 36 Hz cycle rates for a pair, you would have very annoying strobe effects visible to most people.

No application was rendering at 144 Hz. They might be lucky to sustain 20-30 Hz, but the framebuffer held both a left and right image and the video output switched back and forth between them on each frame scan. Complex visualizations often got down to 12 Hz or so and considered that acceptable as people would still perceive motion as in an animated cartoon.
