We have to go all the way down the page, to Wikipedia, to find a link that suggests atheism is anything other than the disbelief in god.
Won't the constants probably be a PC relative load, which (once your l1d$ is hot) be a single cycle?
They only introduced that rule in 2013 as your link states, and it doesn't seem like most other places bother with such high requirements.[0]

"On Ethiopian flight 302, the first officer may have had just 200 hours, but the captain, a 29-year old career Ethiopian Airlines pilot, had a very respectable 8,000 hours under his belt. There’s no indication, at this point in the investigation, that crew experience may have been a factor in the accident."

I still don't see why you are harping on the experience angle when there seems to be much more evidence that the weird Boeing "secret" anti-stall system(MCAS) seems to be in play, since Boeing is trying to come up with an update for it...Also the general maintenance issues that seems to have occurred before at least one of the flights where the same issue was noted and/or the faulty sensors were ignored by groundcrew.

[0]https://thepointsguy.com/news/how-much-experience-do-pilots-...

And FTA this thread is about:

"French air accident investigation agency BEA said on Tuesday the flight data recorder in the Ethiopian crash that killed 157 people showed “clear similarities” to the Lion Air disaster. Since the Lion Air crash, Boeing has been pursuing a software upgrade to change how much authority is given to the Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System, or MCAS, a new anti-stall system developed for the 737 MAX.

Some U.S. pilots have complained they were unaware of the new system, which is mentioned in the index of the aircraft’s full manual but not the text, according to a version seen by Reuters. Airlines have some discretion to customize the manuals.

The cause of the Lion Air crash has not been determined, but the preliminary report mentioned the Boeing system, a faulty, recently replaced sensor and the airline’s maintenance and training."

So yeah, blame the flight crew... /s
I can indeed deny it. I think you are also giving yourself too much credit. I would be very surprised to see a comment like that one not at least colored grey, even without your heroic involvement.

The dynamic playlists actually make YouTube a pretty decent music streaming service. I can find a song I like and just create a "mix" out of it, featuring similar songs, with just 1 click.

Having the actual music video with the music is also a very nice extra, some of these can make a song like 10 times as good.

If the YouTube premium wouldn't be so expensive (asking 16€ per month over here) I'd already signed up just for getting ad-free music.

So an artist gets to spend far less time creating content by making raytracing doing a lot of the lightning work for them and in order for the end user to benefit from this they have to sacrifice a ton of hard performance and drop their FPS.

We haven't even gotten to a 4k60fps standard in modern titles and raytracing content will drop people to console like frame rates.
For me, switching to bluetooth earbuds (PowerBeats) was a game changer. Switching to AirPods was a level above that. I wear them for most of the day and don't really have an issue with having them be charged.

I pop them in their case when I take a break or go for lunch and then charge the case itself now and then and things work out just fine. The charging is very fast.
Short answer: no.

There's some stuff that convinces me of the potential (SuperHot VR), but the whole thing is still too much of an expensive pain in the ass to be worth the trouble.
Consider the instructions for the nginx fork:

https://github.com/eustas/ngx_brotli

The "filter" module operates totally within nginx, and behaves roughly how we're used to with gzip. The "static" module allows you compress files as part of your build and just serve them - but the server still needs to understand the relevant headers and how to deal with them.
There's nothing quite so colonialist as jotting down "ISLANDS OF DISAPPOINTMENT" on your map for generations of future travelers to see because the locals responded to your desire to pillage their food supply by threatening you with spears and chucking rocks at your party.
There is a lot of context missing here but some ground rules for a 'regular' VC would be:

Carry / number of partners would be a nice starting point for the profit share and 50% of the management fee / number of partners for the base compensation. Note that the management fee is usually on funds under management, not the total size of the fund so this will fluctuate as more funds are committed and will be reduced again when the fund reaches the end of its life.
I am very confused isn’t mul a 64bit multiply on arm64? Or is this a comparison of a 64 bit processor to a 32bit one?
An atheist is not saying that there absolutely is no god, but rather "there is no reason to believe in a god, given what we currently know", which remains a different position from "I, personally, don't know" which is the argument of an agnostic.

There's a little bit more nuance to it than that. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_atheism

Negative atheism, also called weak atheism and soft atheism, is any type of atheism where a person does not believe in the existence of any deities but does not explicitly assert that there are none. Positive atheism, also called strong atheism and hard atheism, is the form of atheism that additionally asserts that no deities exist.

And when you talk about "weak atheism", I would argue that the distinction between that and agnosticism is fairly subtle.
These two things are not comparable.
"Grown in sterile conditions" and "cheaper" are two completely contradictory features.

Most agriculture is still done in the field, not indoors, because that's the most efficient way to do it. A large part of the inputs is "just there". Waste doesn't really happen in production, almost everything is put to some use. Real waste happens on the store shelves.

You really have to ask yourself, what are the inputs to the "lab grown" process and what are the requirements towards purity etc. It's an open question.
> On TV, the ground rules are clearer: Ads come when the show takes a break.

Except this isn't true at all. For one, they run ads over the top of shows (which is super obnoxious), but at least they tend to be for other shows rather than products.

But even decades ago, shows like Transformers and Ninja Turtles were really just toy advertisements (literally, not being cynical). How do you distinguish that from this Youtube stuff?
Tesla should just partner or acquire a LiDAR startup already like Baraja [1]...They can let the computer vision do all the magic they want. Just have one scanning LiDAR as a redundant system so that it doesn't run into anything in front of the car.

Freedom of movement more than anything. I bought a pair and they sounded about as mediocre as the wired apple earbuds. I loved the freedom it provided. I don't know how many times I flung my phone or macbook to the ground because I was wired.

OTA is fine. It's unregulated, unannounced OTA that's problematic.

I'd love for my VW to get updates OTA without taking it to the dealer. But, I don't want to receive those updates without knowledge that the update has been tested sufficiently (and given I don't trust the vendor, I'd like NTSB or similar government body to do this on my behalf).
The actual root cause is extremely intractable for these companies to solve because it inherently conflicts with their business model. The business model requires highly paid software engineers to create a platform that matches buyers and sellers (or viewers and advertisers) but none of the associated costs with policing anything that happens on the platform that can't be done with technical means. As soon as they have to police anything (by preapproval or moderators taking things down after the fact) it massively cuts the margins of the business.

Section 230 enabled lots of internet businesses, but it also created lots of negative externalities that are only now being reckoned with after decades of a free-for-all.
I find it absurd how the NHTSA doesn't treat Tesla similarly to how it treated Toyota ~10 years ago with the sudden unintended acceleration controversy. [1]

Tesla has demonstrably flawed and dangerous vehicles operating on our roads. These persistent autopilot bugs are killing people. If we treated the Tesla autopilot as a licensed driver, it'd have its license suspended. (Not that it could have passed a driving test in the first place)

You are correct regarding the initial concept, but what were the objectives of the Learning Resource Group that Alan Kay was leading at the time? And what were the various iterations of Smalltalk (i.e. -72 through -80) working towards? Squeak? Etoys? Croquet? (etc.) Alan has been pretty explicit in every paper and presentation I've seen from him: his career has been very much focused on computing as it applied to childhood education and development.[1] Of course Smalltalk is also an incredibly powerful language and still one of the better ones for adults to use IMO. But when push came to shove, the language design decisions were at least biased toward, if not explicitly based on what would work for children.

[1] Which is both profound and enlightened because in the same breath he'll say he didn't really care about educating children... he just wanted to help make better adults.

They can simply decide to pull their ads and not do business with websites that spam ads, if they think that's detrimental to them or doesn't provide them any value.

Exclusivity contracts give way too much power to Google at the expense of everyone else, if we could simply leave it to Google to decide which websites they want to place advertisements on.

It's like having a retail electronics store placing bad products from company B next to good products from company A. We don't really let A bully the store into exclusivity either, if A doesn't want to be associated with the store they can simply end their contract.
You can deny it, but you'd very well be wrong. You've been a user since 2017, so I understand if you're not familiar with what the discussion looked like circa 2014 or so, but it used to be much less tolerant to the low-quality comments that get posted nowadays.
And YT wants to do this by implementing rules that are easily bypassed and very, very difficult to enforce.

The Ricegum/Jake Paul gambling problem exists because there's just no easy way to determine and police the financial influence of a particular video. Not to mention the big money that YouTube makes by allowing covertly sponsored content by these huge YT stars to proliferate on the platform.

It's hard to see a world in which they get the incentives to generate content under control while driving the engagement and revenue they're making now.

I'm doubtful. Consider this: the aircraft can experience a downward acceleration (eg. due to turbulences) without being in a stall. Measuring the AoA is still the most reliable way (assuming the sensor itself is reliable) to detect impeding stall.

My understanding is it’s from car racing. Putting sandbags in during qualifying to make min weight. Then removed during the race to make the car lighter and faster.
I think Daniel's use of the word "separate" in "separate and expensive" is ill-advised, as it implies a critique of ARM's ISA design in a way that isn't relevant for this case. One might be concerned if you needed all 128 bits in some other use, but not here.

As for loading large constants, if you read the post and follow the link at "reuse my benchmark" (https://github.com/lemire/Code-used-on-Daniel-Lemire-s-blog/...) you will see that these functions as measured are inside hot loops. As such, presumably constant loading is very likely to be hoisted out of these loops on both architectures.

This will make the considerably slower UMULH stick out like a sore thumb. Also note that the measurement loop allows most of the work of each iteration to be done in parallel - the work of the rng is a long dependency chain within the calculation but the update of the seed is quick and independent of that.

I would guess that the Ampere box has a wretchedly slow multiply. In a comment on the post, Daniel finds an ugly performance corner on A57 (possibly related, possibly not): "On a Cortex A57 processor, to compute the most significant 64 bits of a 64-bit product, you must use the multiply-high instructions (umulh and smulh), but they require six cycles of latency and they prevent the execution of other multi-cycle instructions for an additional three cycles."
I don't want to dismiss your whole point, because it is certainly valid, but that isn't really the issue here. It is entirely possible for bugs like this to exist in the self driving tech and for Tesla to be correct in their claims that Autopilot is on average safer than a human driver.

It is obviously troubling to see self driving cars run into solid and stationary objects, but human drivers do that all the time too. The question shouldn't be whether this technology is perfect, it should be whether this technology is safer than humans. You and I certainly don't have enough data to say one way or another on that. I would bet even Tesla doesn't have enough data to say definitively. However writing this tech off as unsafe just because it makes what seems like an obvious mistake is a great way to slow progress which will result in more human deaths long term.
> 2. Google's PageRank assigns "juice" to a trusted domain

I am unreasonably disappointed about not seeing actual infancy metaphors in your comment.
For back-shifting, I'd prefer to actually seek for the tail item in the list (just before you prove the key doesn't exist) and move that BACK to the evicted slot, rather than update all of the keys.

However the tombstone idea fits better with minimizing mutations and improving the potential for concurrency if the design only cares that inserts/deletes are atomic (not that they're propagated in parallel instantly).

For the 'move back' idea to be that safe I'd still want to use a tombstone value, but it would need to also include a pointer to the moved location. The list of tombstones would need to be submitted (as in, message queue) to a kind of garbage collection thread that sat on the messages for a pre-determined validity time and then did a scrub of the key/value to make sure the compaction still made sense. A shorter interval might also allow for that deferred compaction to be replaced by a new entry instead.

I don't like any of that as a generic solution though, as the trade-offs with each bit of extra effort and code complexity seem likely to be premature optimization and sources of potential bugs when not considered in a specific problem domain.
Not a dictionary, but how about an encyclopedia? Wikipedia shows that there is a distinction within the group of people who can be called "atheist", regarding how strong/affirmative a claim they are making.

Harder to spoof or phish (depending on the implementation). I know that a message shown on my bank's main website, with the correct URL, is legit.
One of the issues I'm perceiving with the Strings Of Things that Go Wrong / Swiss Cheese model is that as we fix more and more of the ~more likely~ faults to appear, the faults that will continue to appear will be of the less likely variety, so to say more obscure corner cases.

The problem is that training cannot efficiently prepare somebody to identify and fix obscure corner cases while under pressure.

John Carmack and his friends made it clear that they have no interest in the PC being a first class VR platform when they tossed Brendan Iribe to the curb. The Rift-s is a big fuck you to all of the hardcore early adopters that made the Rift a reality.

I skipped gen-1 thinking gen-2 was right around the corner; unfortunately, three long years later the future truly looks like a "race to the bottom." VR is starting to feel like a cheap trick instead of something that promised the future of gaming - a toy that just collects dust on the shelf after playing a handful of crap mobile games.

The state of the industry from my perspective:

1. The VR industry seems to think PC gaming is dead

2. Oculus hasn't released better HMD in three years:

- Worse inside out tracking despite the need to be tethered to a PC anyway

- A downgraded refresh rate of 80hz after claiming 120hz was the sweet spot

- A single panel and a downgrade from OLED to LCD with no ability for IPD adjustment

- Is outsourcing work from Lenovo instead of doing in-house RND

- Scrapped headphones despite saying it was a critical feature of the OG rift

- Rumored to have a slightly worse FOV than the OG Rift's already small FOV

- Attempting to roll their own walled garden store

- Owned by Facebook

3. HTC hasn't released a marginally better headset in three years:

- Lenses are garbage despite the better display

- Future headsets are adopting inside out tracking despite it having worse performance than lighthouse

- Owned by HTC

- Terrible support

- Attempting to roll their own walled garden store

4. Pimax doesn't seem to have the manufacturing or support chops to deliver despite knowing exactly what the hardcore PC gamer wants

5. Valve can't seem to release anything - ever.

What a shit show.

You're right, we've updated the post to reflect this.
As noted, most of the time (including in this dictionary definition), we do not distinguish between "proven false" and "not proven true", because there are very few cases where such a distinction matters.

"Belief"s are not immutable - we believe in things, but given evidence we can change those beliefs.

If I say "I believe in man-made climate change", I am not arguing that I would not change my opinion if evidence was provided that it wasn't the case.
First and foremost. You mentioned "links from the UN itself that comprehensively debunk" what the other commenter was saying. After searching the UN site, I gave you an opportunity to produce them. Where are they?

> There is no need to speculate about bias.

I'm not really speculating as much as making an explicit assertion.

> What is a more credible source?

IMO, Anything at the bottom of the wikipedia article would qualify as more credible than a single person's opinion on a video blog channel. A video blog channel that has an obvious narrative. I mean... did you watch the video? Around half of it cuts away from the interview to present talking points and infographics.

It's also not enough to simply state that all of these media outlets and nations (along with millions of people inside Venezuela itself) are propagandists with an agenda. That's just FUD.

> UN reports are routinely used by the US, Europe, the global media and many others as credible sources.

The UN hasn't investigated the election, much less released a report on the topic.

> Given there is a history of illegal regime change

And given the overwhelming evidence of foul play in the Venezuelan election, those genuinely concerned about human rights and democracy should be extremely wary of those seeking to downplay the severity of the events.
