Hot Startups from Stockholm to Watch
wait, are you saying that you're general mental health changed for the better, or for the worse? I think you forgot to mention that.
But no replying on the comments to your posts, it seems, which is quite annoying.
The big question here is "what trees?"

If Ecosia are planting Acacia in Spain, as seen in their map, this is wrong. Wattle is invasive in southern Europe. Some are even in the catalogue of forbidden by law species. They displace native species and are a big problem in Portugal after fire forests for example. Some species are also poisonous to cattle and wild animals

Please, left conservation efforts to professionals. They study and train for decades for something. Volunteers can do a lot of harm with the best intentions.

This actually looks like Excel / 1-2-3, which is an array-based programming language that people look down on because it enables non-experts to build programs and therefore the programs are bad.
Thanks! We'll see. BTW, its dragAn, not dragOn :)
Facebook is like a boring family dinner that you have to attend.

Many people kind of _have to_ have a Facebook profile, but definitely check it rarely.

Personally, I keep it only because I have a few apps that use their API.

Roscosmos to Install CCTV Cameras on Russian Segment of ISS
At this point, most performance gains stem from:

1. L1, L2, L3 cache sizes. Since these are implemented as S-RAM, they can drastically increase chip area, and hence cost.

2. ISA Acceleration of certain types of algorithms - like encryption, codecs and AI.

There's absolutely nothing inherently lacking in the ARM ISA or architecture to impact #1, and ARM has consistently been adding instructions for #2, including SIMD support.

Apple chips perform so well as Apple can afford more cache for the same $ cost, as they make their own chips. Android phone manufacturers need to pay more for Qualcomm to make their profits
CBD isolate by itself can be a lot cheaper. The cheapest I've found is online from Fully Activated, around $20/g. You should be able to mix your own tinctures with liquid coconut oil, and optionally sunflower lecithin.

This part always annoyed me. In particular there was a guy on reddit after the announcement of the Ipad Pro announcement who was absolutely adamant that no-one would need a home console because the ipad pro had comparable GPU power and the demos proved that.

One thing he would constantly avoid though, was the fact that for short 10 minute sessions, that may hold true, but for extended play sessions the CPU and GPU would likely be throttled without any form of active cooling.
Otherwise that's a lot of heat applied directly to the back of a very expensive display and none of the components will last very long.

Don't forget the constant shitposting by your friends and (ex)coworkers to make themselves appear very smart and hardworking. I've always felt LinkedIn is 300% the cancer that Facebook is because of all the virtue-signalling, pompous fakery and outright lying that occurs there.

It's the digital, more obnoxious version of a kid screaming ME ME ME at the sports team draft for adults. All those bullshitters with too much time on their hands (ironically at work) begging for the attention of recruiters and prospective employers to hire them.

If it's not running and doesn't send you notifications or demand updates, do you care all that much?
Most of their "AI" is just applied statistics. Train a statistical classifier to classify "events a user wants to see" then run it in prod and elevate the results to notifications. Run an A/B trial (quite possibly p-hacked) to determine if people actually like it. Ignore the false positive rate (e.g. the rate at which you're annoying people) if you think it's arbitrarily small enough. When people ask how you determine which events to turn into notifications tell them The Algorithm decides it and let their imaginations, seeded by pop culture science fiction, run wild about what sort of superhuman synthetic intelligence you have pent up in your computers when really all you've got is a glorified bayesian spam filter.
Their another downside, I guess, is that they are wildly inelegant. R is inelegant in its core, despite all the nice functionality, and Pandas, IMO, presents a rather ugly addition to the regular Python syntax despite all its nice functionality. So people still yearn for things pure and beautiful.

The A12X is a 10 billion transistor 7 nm 12W chip.

The i6700K is a 3 billion transistor 14 nm 95W chip.

If you assume linear scaling on all three metrics (bad assumption, but rough rule of thumb) you get 10/3 * 14/7 * 12/95 -> 85%, roughly in line with benchmark results.
True. But also, this decouples cars from fossil fuel dependency. So switching to something cleaner, like nuclear or wind/solar wouldn't require uprooting cars as a whole.
Not defending, just saying that's the kind of alternative security narrative that can sway countries not in an urgent existential struggle against Chinese ascent - aka US. The rest of the world, 190+ countries do not have the same risk-benefit analysis as the US. They mostly share the position of, both superpowers are going to spy on me, so maybe choose to buy infrastructure from the one that's cheaper, with a smaller military, that hasn't been used in active foreign aggression in 40 years.

Much easier to appoach these the other way round: I could choose not to cook at home, but that would cost me a fortune, so I never stopped doing it. Best way to avoid expenses is not to commit to them in the first place.

Same goes for avoiding exploitative apps: never install apps unless there's no alternative. Block all ads. Deny all notifications, especially on the desktop browser. No, I won't send you my location.

It's annoying to have to maintain a wall of "no" but it saves problems in the long run.
Yep, same for me. They want addicts not users.
The article already mentions this, but I want to re-state that Geekbench results do not correlate with real world prefroamance and systematically favor ios.

I think that primarily, as others have said, we need sunlight. However, one can introduce sunlight into an underground structure with various skylights, including those that use mirrors to bring the light just about anywhere underground.

It’s mostly the excavation, drainage, and more robust structural requirements that increase the cost of construction of an underground house to a point where it outweighs the benefits of such a house. One would want to locate any underground structure on a site that is well above the water table, and well above a flood zone - so again, the cost of locating such a plot of land increases the difficulty and expense of building such a home.

However, I think that there are advantages to residences that are - half-buried. In other words, built into a hill on a slope. The advantages to such a house would be significant if it were sited correctly with a well-engineered drainage system. For example, in the Northern hemisphere the energy savings of a house on a slope with a glass curtain wall facing south would significantly reduce heating and cooling requirements regardless of latitude. Temperatures within the structure would be pretty constant year round. In winter, when the sun recedes to the south and stays lower to the horizon, sun would shine in, and warm, the house for a major portion of the day. In the summer as the sun rises more to the East and is higher in the sky, the earth surrounding the house except for its south-facing wall would insulate the house from radiant heat, and the cooler temperature of the earth would also keep the house from warming up much.

Our summer house in New Jersey faces South, and that long side of the house is windows the entire length of the house, and about half of the surface area of that wall. In winter, on a sunny and below freezing day, the temperature inside that long room can get as high as 80 degrees F (27 C). Midday the furnace doesn’t come on at all (unless it’s a very windy day). The basement is at ground level on the south side, completely underground on the north side. The basement maintains a pretty steady temperature year-round. Had this house been built in the past 20 years rather than 60+ year ago it would have had solar panels running fans to use the basement coolness to air condition the house on the (relatively few) hot days in summer, and distribute the excess heat in winter throughout the house. As it is, it’s an extremely energy-efficient structure.
Ok, where is the benchmark that shows the performance parity? All I've ever seen is comparisons to low power mobile chips. And then extrapolation from there.

You can't just extrapolate and assume your 2W (or whatever) phone CPU will be like a 95W desktop if you just stick on a heatsink & fan and feed higher voltage & clocks to it.

If it were that simple, the CPU manufacturers could fire a whole lot of engineers.

It's like, you know, my Honda Accord is reaching performance parity with your Bugatti. (If I extrapolate based on how much I think I'd get performance by sticking in a big turbo and new exhaust, intercooler, and higher RPM redline. It's that simple, right?! No, actually it's not..)

There will be a private driver system in that country. Ask someone local you trust, they can give you the name of a driver who speaks english (or enough of it) and you can book them ahead when needed. It's like Uber for Uber, but old-school pre-app style. As it's been done for centuries.
Yes, sure.

You write to a file, save the file name or file descriptor. Then when you read it back later, maybe you forget to validate the contents. This can be exploited depending on what you were doing with the data.

Do you now want to restrict what you mean by a 'reference'?
You'll see that once you keep restricting that enough you first lose the ability to write fast programs and eventually useful programs(evidence: various 'unsafe' modes in so called safe languages).

Having a macro in one module refer to bindings it has no idea about what they are seems nasty to me. I'd rather have hygiene and break it where I chose to. That seems less error prone.
I keep coming back to this same bug bear every time the topic of cars and pollution comes up, but... diesels.

There's a practice here (UK) of buying diesels for the increased fuel economy, then having the particulate filters removed (discreetly, leaving the casing in place to hide the work) to reduce maintenance costs. Most garages offer this as a service openly, and it's common practice.

The cars are very easy to spot as the exhaust belches huge clouds of thick black smoke every time they accelerate.

The irony of this is that a great many of the cars currently on the road here are dirtier than cars that were banned twenty years ago for that same reason. The point being that we're not just not fixing the problem - we're actively going backwards.

I don't take my son to school through the car park (the most direct route) anymore for this reason. Most parents drive 4x4s which they idle there while parked. The smell alone is eye-watering, not to mention the smoke.

The point is that people just don't care. They don't care about their own kids' health, so of course they don't care about anyone elses.

Anyone I've discussed this with offline think it's silly to be bothered by this or I'm over-reacting, because (and I don't have the science to back this up) the world's getting progressively more stupid and (ob)noxious over time.
George Monbiot is seen as a climate change denier in many circles. He must be doing something right if he has both sides mad at him now. :)
Still an asshole passive-aggressive move, for a few years now I just learned to say "I'm sorry, I can't take a look" in an assertive but friendly tone, no one pushed it further and I don't have to be acting all bitchy because I didn't stand up for myself.

I recommend this approach much more.

Hello, Author here. I toyed around with the idea of not allowing the sender to connect until a receiver was connected, but I could see the use case where you wrote a stream to nowhere and then had receivers jump in and out.

I also toyed around with using the "-T." curl argument instead of "-T-" to allow some response in this case, but I came up against a known issue in curl (https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/932). I'm sure this wasn't the intended use case though.

It is definitely worth exploring further.
Would something like Perl's taint functionality work? I.e., all values derived from size, position, colour, pixel data, user agent, etc. are marked as tainted, and are stripped (or randomized or replaced with default values) from data that is sent over XMLHttpRequest and other communication methods. It's probably extremely hard to make that watertight though.
Worth noting that you can buy Windows ARM laptops now, and that there are ARM apps available for them.

There are quite a lot 350kw charger boxes, but unfortunately, most of them still have standard CCS-cables, limiting the maximum current to 200A. This means, for most cars they are limited to about 80kW charging speed (400V). It would be cool though, if Tesla quickly rolled out the software updates to the European Model 3s, as they then could use the 350kW chargers for higher charging speeds as soon as the chargers support higher currents.
The post was awful, but I hadn't heard of this exploit before, and I wasn't patched, so, thanks for that !

For the average desktop PC user (excluding gamers), the electricity costs for the CPU itself are probably largely irrelevant. A well-built modern PC will use less than 10-15W while idle (i.e. while you are reading this), meanwhile typical 27" displays will consume 30W or more.

Employers seem to be happy for an automated performance metric of their employees. They said that it will let them provide incentives and bonuses for performing workers.

Power to performance is far from linear (and gets worse the higher you go). High TDP desktop chips are pushed to the point where a marginal increase in performance would require a massive increase in heat.
I think there's definitely something to be impressed from a "human" perspective by from someone able to reach that high without the help of technology. It's the same with Trump or Putin
You have to add more context...

A12x advantage comes not only from gigantic caches, but in how efficient is the core in using them. Anybody well versed in microarchitecture design will tell that at some point increasing cache size will actually begin to slow you down.

Both cache topology, address lookup logic, prefetch, and the dark magic like smart cache invalidation circuits matter a lot. The goal is to flush as few bits on cache miss as possible, find stored values in cache faster, and do prefetch efficiently. Only once you can do that, the cache size/core complexity tradeoff begins to work.

Any normal CPU benchmark will be measuring a non accelerated workload. So, the measurements of A12x having a true lead thanks to wider pipeline, bigger caches, and smarter cache management are something very well expected.

At work, too many websites for professional use are only working on Chrome, so I need to have it.

Curiously enough, at home I have no problems with firefox, so I guess B2C devs are more conscious than B2B ones !
I respect what you are trying to say and im not denying that safety as a mathatical guarantee is a must .. but help me understand the full picture here how would such a system work with soft dev today when requirements change very quickly, sometimes small somtimes large ... for example our current sdlc looks like this

mockup --> requirement change --> design --> build --> requirement change --> mockup

rinse and repeat, the cycle time might change but this is what happens .. is this ideal I don't know .. does this work, it does sufficiently enough

and so I disagree that people in the broader software dev community are willfully ignorant about security

maybe with the rise of AI we could do the design problem with the math bits in mind and build correct software every cycle but from my perspective the only way I see the system of mathematical design which is math intensive (hence resource intensive hence time intensive) is through the waterfall model of SDLC :).

I am willing to admit that I haven't been following the formal methods space that much and what I said might be complete of the mark, in any case, please feel free to correct me, I'm here to learn thanks.

GraalVM also has a way to do this - the 'unmanaged' C/C++ is upgraded to be automatically memory managed on the fly by compiling pointers into (gc'd reference, integer field offset) and then redirecting allocations to GCd heaps. There's more to it than that of course, but it means traditional C/C++ using new/delete and GCd languages can interop and coexist in the same process and heaps, and memory management errors in the unmanaged side are caught (cause VM termination).
...and they would still be susceptible to CSS-based fingerprinting.

Seconded; Life and Fate is a wonderful novel, and the only viable literary response to the Holocaust that I've read. Grossman's Writer at War is also excellent, and IMHO mandatory for anyone interested in WWII. His chapter on The Hell of Treblinka is without parallel.
