>It apparently ran the Nvidia power on even when no program wanted to use it.

Are you sure you didn't install nvidia drivers? That is a common symptom with nvidia binary drivers. Nouveau on the other hand is fine with powering the device off when not used. For nvidia drivers, the bbswitch method is more reliable, but is apparently deprecated by distros these days.

What was the mass of the Hindenburg without the lift gas? Doubtless modern composites could significantly reduce that mass, which could go directly into increased payload.

Alternatively, an airship of the same mass of the Hindenburg could be made significantly larger, and since payload scales with the lifting gas volume, payload would also increase.

Oh, and throw the Hindenburg's aluminum piano over the side.

I note with interest that you say the Hindenburg would have had a greater payload with Helium rather than Hydrogen. Why do you say that?

you're the only one saying the don't. they are saying the most common linux configuration causes issues so blacklist the buggy driver in it

they are also saying their that driver may work fine on some less common linux configurations, and the chrome team does not have the resources to test those.

you are literally saying they are saying the opposite of what they said, then blaming them for it.

Wait, this isn't just rendering bugs a la "some WebGL things will show green instead of red", it kills your system entirely?

I thought the only effect this blacklisting had was making WebGL unavailable for everyone instead of buggy for a small minority. This just flipped my opinion.

Related, this might also explain the strange bluescreen bug my girlfriend had with Windows 8 + Firefox on her laptop. She switched to Google Chrome a few years ago because every time she used Firefox, her laptop would bluescreen within a few hours (either while Firefox was still running, or at some point later). I didn't know bugs outside of the OS could still do that kind of thing (I thought they started squashing such bugs with Windows 95 and finished somewhere around Vista) and wrote the Firefox thing off as triggering some extremely obscure Windows OS-level issue. Maybe I should check if there is a driver blacklisted by Chrome, though it seems more likely Chrome just doesn't happen to trigger it (like all other software running on it, it really is only Firefox).
Discrimination is a broad term, typically used to indicate an individual person is being discriminated against based on their membership of a group of similar persons which usually fall around race, age, sexual orientation, etc. Discrimination, outside this context, means "recognition and understanding of the difference between one thing and another". A company cannot be discriminated against while applying an individual person context because they are not people.

There's exactly one person being discriminated against here and that is based on the business they run and the relationship they had with Coinbase. Coinbase, and Brian, have every right to limit their business dealings with Gab, and can do so without it being "discriminatory" in nature. Arguing otherwise
may be considered an attempt to control the conversation in a direction that leads away from logic.
The way to avoid this issue is to avoid floating-point numbers that have any implicit zeroes (due to exponent) after its significant digits. Basically restrict the range to only values where it's guaranteed that for any x1 and x2 from the range, (x1-x2) produces a non-zero dx such that x2+dx == x1.

The only example off the top of my head that is floating point is C# "decimal", which actually originates from the Decimal data type in OLE Automation object model (which could be seen in VB6, and can still be seen in VBA):

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc237603.aspx

Note this bit:

"scale: MUST be the power of 10 by which to divide the 96-bit integer represented by Hi32 * 2^64 + Lo64. The value MUST be in the range of 0 to 28, inclusive."

The reason why it's limited to 28 is because the 96-bit mantissa can represent up to 28 decimal digits exactly. The way it's enforced, any operation that produces a result outside of this range is an overflow error (exception in .NET).
I was excited for AVX512 long ago but I've since heard that if you are jamming AVX512 instructions to every core you get a forcibly lower clockrate. In practice this sounds like it'd suggest using an AVX512 algorithm could actually be slower even when it's faster. If that's the case, I wonder what kind of performance gain you'd have to hit to beat a scalar or SSE-based vectorized algorithm.
Got it. So I bring the k8s and tilt keeps things refreshed as I'm making changes. Thanks!

It literally went against the spirit of "decide what to share and when" if I check "never" and it does.

That's just your opinion. Mozilla should be very clear, up front, about what data they collect by default[1], so that users can make educated decisions about whether to allow it. This whole "we promise to protect everything (lol) we collect about you" PR stunt obscures the fact that they are collecting data from users by default.

1. They 'detail' it in the privacy policy, but 1) almost all end users will not see a link to it and 2) almost all end users will not consider that Mozilla is collecting data from them by default.

Worth noting that Apple has a long history with ARM dating back to the Newton, plus the established low-power advantages it holds.

Considering that Steve went to Intel to discuss the possibilities of them making the iPhone processor, I don’t think independence from Intel was a primary motivator.

Sustainable? I doubt anyone knows. But certainly ARM currently offers a significant value proposition.
The problem is shielding all of the people. When you land the plane all of that ionizing radiation bounces back at the people inside giving bathing them in fatal or near fatal levels. The shielding is just too heavy and the physics of shielding make it very unlikely we can develop anything lighter.

Also should the plane have an accident you now have radioactive material spread over miles. Which is also not an easily solved problem.

I would argue this is the reason for most people. My cousin and my wife's sister were both accepted to Harvard for undergrad, but they turned it down because they thought it was too far away. Personally, I don't understand this at all (I would happily move wherever for a good opportunity), but it wouldn't surprise me if most people refused a 2-3x salary increase if it required moving from a rural area to a big city a few hours away by plane.

It's fairly uncommon for open source software to blacklist components that (attempt to) implement a compatible interface. Usually selecting an appropriate hardware driver is left in the hands of the distribution or administrator.

> But it's undeniable that the current situation isn't fair

But it is fair because the House does have the proportional representation by design.

As I stated originally, nobody wants a situation where just a few states can dominate the entire federal government, otherwise the opinions of voters in all but the most populous states would have no voice whatsoever.

If an individual desires a greater voice, they could move from California to Wyoming or another state where they will get a bigger voice in the senate.

But people moving to California, Texas, Florida, New York, knew when they moved there that they would not get proportional representation in the senate, so they shouldn't complain.

I worked at the VA for over 2 decades, including the transition from handwritten to electronic notes. Wow. When I retired, the nursing notes for a patient visit were usually 2-3X longer than the docs note. The nursing note was entirely populated by templated text created by a hierarchy of supervisory staff tasked with satisfying all regulatory requirements. The poor nurses would ask the patient a series of prompted questions, click on the appropriate box, and a page of templated text would emerge. Actually finding useful actionable info in the nursing notes was impossible, or close to impossible. The docs began to demand, reasonably, that actual patient problems identified by the nurse be put in a specific area of the note rather than randomly scattered throughout 4-8 pages of templated text (which without this demand could be randomly intercalated with such useful info as "pt c/o chest pain when walking, much worse", found on page 5 of 8.

The docs notes were, in many ways, even worse. The notes required manual typing, and many docs are not trained skilled touch typists. So the two-fingered part of the note was often very brief and succinct. The templated portions were huge - impressive reviews of systems where you could not really tell if the specific items had actually really been asked or if the template just vomited forth a page full of text for administrative review.

Make a doctor function as a data entry clerk and this is what happens.
i hate this anti-sports rhetoric. i agree municipalities should take caution when funding a stadium, but claiming they should never do it and pretending it doesn't add value is just dishonest.

If Nouveau isn't working all that well, then clearly a switch to a new graphics stack that would require it is waaay premature, given how prevalent NVIDIA graphics hardware is.
No, that's not entirely true either. Depending on where the proprietary bits are, it's the other side that is the problem. It is a violation of the GPL. So the usual workaround is to shift the responsibility to the user so that incompliant stuff is done by the user by the way of a script that runs on the user's behalf.
Instead of generating shuffle at runtime, couldn't a table be used for shuffling lower and higher parts of the register separately, then merging the result?

Also, for uncommon patterns, the register could be split further to make the shuffle table fit into L1.

Also, I am not sure compiler can optimize that continue statement. The non-AVX version might be improved by removing the if alltogether, and replacing dst++ with
dst = followed by dst += (src[i] == ' ' || src[i] == '\r' || src[i] == '\n') ? 0 : 1

I've come to believe that privacy "by design" is impossible in the hyper-connected age. There are too many vectors for tracking, linking, and de-anonymization and software in general is too insecure.

The only solution to the privacy problem is legislation. My favorite idea is HIPAA type regulations for intimate personal data like audio, location, etc. Leak location data? That will be $10,000 per incident where an incident is one record per person on a given day.

This would transform data like this into a liability rather than an asset, pushing companies to store it only long enough to perform a given service and to develop cryptographically blinded systems whenever possible to cut exposure.

As it stands all the economic incentives encourage all vendors (even small indy apps) to maximize privacy invasion at every opportunity.
> pretending it doesn't add value is just dishonest.

what value do they add? congested roads on game days?
Yes, they are not a guaranteed solution. But research from Hopkins University School of Medicine and others show they are more effective than any current pharmaceutical drugs.
A lot of real-world data is already in base-10 for obvious reasons, and so an arrangement that lets you add, subtract and multiply those without worrying is worthwhile, even if it can't handle something more exotic.
Yes, and the distributor or administrator is free to rebuild the browser or just set the flag to disable blacklisting. It’s only default behavior that changed.

I'd say, if you care about using open source driver, you'd avoid Nvidia to begin with, and use AMD or Intel instead.

Here is a very good post from one of the key Nouveau developers, about why you should do exactly that:

Are there fundamental limits on the size of black holes, solar systems or galaxies? Or is the question intentionally ambiguous?
> Also, I’m not sure why you think that raising taxes on one group automatically results in other groups being taxed less. That isn’t typically how it works.

That is exactly how it works. The state has the same expenses and must fund them somehow. Reducing taxes for one group doesn't magically make those expenses go away. When one group pays less, other groups pay more. Similarly, when one group pays more, others pay less. The state doesn't magically have more expenses.
Sort of. It falls back to X for drivers that don't support Wayland, which has included nvidia for a long time. (Maybe there is some progress there more recently.) And the proprietary nvidia driver is widely used.
But it’s more part of an identifying composit “fingerprint” than as an individual unique identifier.

Integers are a lot less trouble for many currency problems, but I think some people are afraid of multiplying integer fractions.

In financial calculations I've seen, figures are given in standard magnitudes (per cent, per mille, basis points, integer cents, etc.) which, if you're lucky with your language, can be encoded as types which can be promoted to higher precision (somewhat) transparently.
Because it shows that there are different opinions about what a user can reasonably expect, the key quote for me is the following:

> Please remove the blacklist as all Nouveau users expect this corrupted behaviour. If at all possible it may be worthwhile to let users know it doesn’t have to be this bad if they flip to the binary driver. Perhaps a pop up letting them know?
My 5/8s wrench disagrees. Happens to store quite nicely in a float, however.

Your comment reminds me of comments made about the colour of Mars. Allegedly it wasn't red enough and looked too much like Arizona so - allegedly - they made it to the expected red colour and kept this up over a series of missions.

This does not answer your question, however, 'white balance' is a thing when it comes to space.
What if the correct predictor really is the zip code, though? Let's say there's a city that's predominantly black, and it has a statistically significantly higher default rate than other cities. However, the default rate in that city is high for residents of all races who live there. In this scenario, the 'true' predictor really is the city, but it also correlated with race. Is simple correlation to a protected class sufficient to nix a variable?
