Reverse Linear Scan Allocation Is Probably a Good Idea – Bart Wiegmans
Parent comment didn’t mention microdosing.
I lived in central Philly for a while. Being largely nocturnal, I'd often be out walking in the early morning.

So one morning, I saw someone walking toward me, wearing a stethoscope-like device, with a tube hanging down, almost touching the sidewalk. At first, I thought "crazy person, take care".

But then, I saw a "Philadelphia Water Department" logo. Basically, he was listening for leaks. His partner was one block away, and they talked via radio. So they could triangulate.
Mechanically Rearranging a Datacenter, Live
This gets philosophical, but roughly I think of it as:

Something that is truly false has a 0% chance of being true, by definition.

Something that has we have proven false has an effectively 0% probability of being true -- but more specifically, it is whatever probability you assign to Descartes' evil demon being true (ie the probability of _everything_ else you know, even rules of logic and math, being false). Every non-solipsist assumes that this probability is negligibly different from 0, therefore in practice we consider "proven false" to be the same as "truly false".

If something is "undecidable", I take that to mean that we don't yet have (and may never be able to acquire) any supporting evidence to meaningfully separate it from the "proven false" case. This is just the standard behavior of assuming the null hypothesis... or colloquially: not believing something for no reason.

(there's probably some much more standard set of terminology for these ideas)
That’s this (earlier) development system.

I would argue that it is maybe even worse, as there is a potential conflict of interests of our main press agency, AFP, about this topic, as they are a huge proponent of Article 11. French media are very reliant on that news agency, so we don't hear about the protests about it, and the public do not care.

It doesn't help that our main EFF-equivalent, La Quadrature du Net, didn't have a very clear position about the copyright directive at some point [0].

Thank you for response/clarifying the timeline. I didn't realize that development on non-hardware parts of the system would happen so much earlier, but it makes sense that you'd want to know if changing archs made your catalog unplayable!
On the bright side, we did manage to improve things using the scientific method. Germ theory came from epidemiological evidence in parallel with the discovery of microrganisms. We didn't have to already know how it all works in order to figure out ways to improve outcomes.

I think that what is disturbing to a lot of computing folk is that psychiatry sounds a bit ill-posed. An imposition of magical thinking onto what we assume are complex, chaotic systems. It just doesn't feel right that something so complex can be adjusted with such gross, brute-force methods.

Imagine debugging a computer and saying, "I think your RAM hasn't enough ones in it. I am prescribing this selective ones-uptake inhibitor to restore the balance." On the other hand, we do have plenty of drugs that are a bit closer to saying, "This packet flow seems to be overwhelming the cluster. We can prescribe this traffic filter to interrupt that flow, allowing other functions to return to normal."
Where would this code be in the rails code base? I usually don't touch ruby. I'm mildly curious what was there originally.

Point to point is decentralized. When you have many interconnected point-to-point connections between nodes that is a robust decentralized network.

Information reaches all nodes in the same room using a gossip protocol over those point to point networks.

All nodes connecting to a backend or server to communicate would be centralized.
I don't think this is actually true.

Looking at the top 20 metropolitan statistical areas in the US, you're already at nearly half the population of the US. And I know from the experience of having ridden commuter rail in most of those that most of them have commuter rail, i.e. passenger train service.

You've got to go pretty far down the list to find one without commuter rail or even a subway/light rail system (which I'm not counting as passenger train service).

If it isn't the majority, it's at least a normal experience for a huge swath of the population.
Judging by working with hundreds of software engineers over a decade, this seems very unlikely to have happened.

I have much more money left over in Austin than I did in San Jose (and living in a 4bd house instead of a crappy SJ 2bd apartment) despite a COLA adjustment from the company... And by the looks of it I could get the pay back up here anyway if I can be bothered to drive to the office of some local company.

Purely personal anecdata, of course, but it does work for me, and the quality of life is (for me, anyway) much higher.
Because part of the advertised appeal of the MAX was that it would not require new training, despite a different aerodynamic profile:

> Since MCAS was supposed to activate only in extreme circumstances far outside the normal flight envelope, Boeing decided that 737 pilots needed no extra training on the system — and indeed that they didn’t even need to know about it. It was not mentioned in their flight manuals.

> That stance allowed the new jet to earn a common “type rating” with existing 737 models, allowing airlines to minimize training of pilots moving to the MAX.

Could be because you've never used a good one. I could see how that distaste would form if all you've ever used was the likes of gdb, lldb, of (if you work in Python) pdb. But when I was switching away from Windows entirely 15 years ago, giving up windbg and Visual Studio debugger was HARD. It's so convenient when you can just _see_ what your program is doing without a lot of extra friction. The downside is, this very much disincentives the writing of tests, because you can get non-trivial pieces of code working without any tests. But with a little self-discipline, I think having a great debugger was a net positive for me, both code quality and productivity-wise.
Commingling helps consumers (they get products quicker) and has very little downside. Typically people who are saying it does don't realize that Amazon still tracks which seller sold any particular unit regardless of which order Amazon shipped it for. If A sells a unit and Amazon ships B's inventory to fulfill it faster, Amazon still knows to get A in trouble if there's an issue.
All it requires is "render :file" without the optional format argument. We found it immediately in applications, and other people on our Slack found it in theirs as well (though not necessarily exploitable, situationally).
I am reminded of a reception at the HPC User Forum back around 2002. There were a number of people in the room from various national labs and intelligence agencies. I was part of the firm that organized and hosted these meetings. I overhear a guy from NSA kidding a guy from Lawrence Livermore Labs with the following line.

"At least I don't design weapons of mass destruction, all I do is read emails"

In truth neither one of these guys did the activities stated, both really were doing system design, optimization and resource allocation with super computers so that the intelligence analysts could rapidly search billions of emails for trigger words, cryptographers could break encryption or weapons designers could model the characteristics of nuclear weapons since we were in a weapons testing ban.

But to echo your point the amount of resources available at national labs and intelligence agencies. The supercomputing resources they had available dwarfed anything available in industry or academia at the time. Today, one might argue that industry and in particular places like Google and Facebook have computing infrastructure and support that was previously only available at national labs.

So now the Google or Facebook guy in a similar meeting will be saying "I only do the analytics that enable us to target people with ads and messages to which they are most vulnerable."
So, civilians owning tanks? Predator drones? Attack helicopters? Cruise missiles? Fighter jets? Biological or chemical weapons?

We don't live in a world where the people and the government can reasonably expect to have symmetrical physical warfare capabilities. This argument is irrelevant today.

The only area where the exists any form of symmetry would be cyber weapons, not physical.

Defending against other individuals is still a viable argument, and is the only reason I think we need to be careful about how far we go with regards to gun control, but that has some tight limits and I think we can find more effective solutions than guns if we put some effort into it and take it seriously.
For my hobbyist needs, KiCAD has far more features than I'll ever need. I love it and recommend that anyone with an interest pick up hardware design, I find it very fulfilling.

KiCAD could be improved in some areas (mainly parts management), but AFAIK every other equally capable EDA is the same or worse, so I can't complain.
> Turbo Pascal 5.0
Is important to note how MUCH better some debuggers are than others. Pascal was amazing, specially if you compare to C.

Good debuggers:

- Pascal
- Delphi
- FoxPro /VisualFoxPro (the best of all, IMHO)

Others more common debuggers (Visual Studio, Xcode, IntelliJ, maybe others I don't remember), have issues, like the amazing "feature" of show opaque values, not allow to inspect stuff or requiere extra steps.

But the worse of all? Them are SLOW. Do "step" is slow. Waiting to see if evaluating values? slow.

Python have almost good, but mostly because python allow to see a lot. GDB sucks as is, but python make it look good.
That’s false.
After reading the comments I have an idea. I'm sure someone thought of it already though.
If the password is p and the hash function is H(), server stores the hashed password H(p).

When the login screen loads, server sends the server time so with reasonably fast internet, the client can estimate the server time. Let's call the estimated current server time t. On login, client sends H(H(p)+t) with t. Now the server can compute H(H(p)+t) with the t from the client and verify if the hash match and also check if t is within few seconds of the current server time.

This way if any data that goes over the network leaks for gets logged, it'll only be valid for few seconds. Also salting before hashing should go somewhere in there but it'll make it a bit more complicated.
A hint for anyone looking for the easter egg: you're unlikely to find it in the stereogram view as it depends on the colour of the tile (use e+left/right arrows to edit colour).
> Bums me out so much when I see OSH projects using Eagle

Can not agree more. There are multiple alternatives for open source EDA packages. I started using gEDA before the KiCad project even existed, so I mostly still work in gEDA. But I have done work in KiCad, it is probably more beginner-friendly than gEDA but I always seem to bump into things I miss from gEDA when doing a KiCad project.

In any case, with two mature (and I have heard other newer projects exist???) open source EDA packages available, it is frustrating to see open hardware projects still using proprietary cripple-ware.

Homelessness is an important and complicated issue. I wish we had a national program to manage it. Distribute funds to where the homeless have spent the most time over the last 20% of their time (to avoid “shopping”.

That said help is different from ensuring they’re not disturbing the lives of the productive people (who they might rejoin one day).
Getting shot at in OMDO really ruins the effect, especially since it's nigh-impossible to spot them quickly. I wish you could just play it without enemies.
There's a reason MacPorts[1] uses Tcl for its package definitions. The packages for the most part look just like structured data, but it's just a Tcl DSL that allows them to e.g. write hooks in Tcl instead of having to embed a shell script[2].

Your entire argument works just as well for shamans as psychiatry; except the drugs shamans use have far fewer and more benign side-effects, with thousands of years of history instead of 20-40.

Many of the psychiatrists I have encountered "believe" in their medications, and when questioned as to how (and how well) the drugs they were informed about work have no real substantive argument for all their years of med school.

But fuck, do they get paid better. You won't see many shamans on a Pfizer sponsored golf trip in Hawaii.
I see what you're getting at, but I don't think "whataboutism" is the right term for that. Whataboutism would be like Facebook being criticized and someone responding, "Yes but Apple does it too!"

What you're describing seems like it's an example of how everything eventually reverts to the mean. In this case, the "mean" point of discussion for any topic is the subtopic most people are familiar with and have a strong opinion about.

Controversial topics are much more engaging, which means threads about them attract more comments. In turn that surfaces more attention to them, from which it follows that on any given topic you're likely to see people slowly shift the discussion to the most familiar subtopic, which will generally be the most engaging (and thereby likely controversial) one.

It's a feedback cycle which sustains a meme (in the linguistic sense of the word). A majority zeitgeist is formed around an idea which is thoroughly self-propagating, because every time a topic with any degree of relevancy pops up, the discussion shifts to the meme.
Well, yes, for the full feature version. There is also a $500 version that doesn't have some of the higher-end features.

Wow, it gets even better
This is like my own experience. I've done Vancouver->Seattle->Oakland, which is beautiful. Train friends were all fun and some memorable. Also Oakland->Chicago, with my wife and 4-yr old son in a family sleeper. We had a great time. The California, Utah and Colorado segments were stunningly beautiful. And we all enjoyed the shower when we checked in to our hotel in Chicago, which was basically a block or two from the train station. Outstanding.

Its not an airliner, or a bus, or a car, and that's a good thing.
Genomic studies suggest that the ancestor of the Polynesian people were from a combination of New Guinea and ancient Taiwan.
COL is high in London and cities around it, but way cheaper in other parts.

FWIW I'd recommend other places over Nottingham, though. Birmingham is a vibrant "second city", with low prices and good connections to London. Several decent universities. Manchester is cheaper still. Southampton is cheaper than London and has good culture and a good university. Glasgow is a cheap and rapidly rejuvenating city.

Nottingham is IMO pretty dull. Maybe the parent commenter has better experiences though.
If the beats are audible, they're "real" and recordings will pick them up just fine. You don't need to record the original ultrasound to hear them. You still can't hear the inaudible frequencies, at the risk of stating a tautology.

You can make some small case for lower frequencies, because even if they are not audible they get to the point where other senses can pick them up too. A sufficiently loud 1Hz wave is simply something shaking. But you can't hear ultrasound.
>* Seems to be 4-levels of cache? L3 is in the iGPU, but the L3 of the CPU is called "LLC" (last-level cache). So it looks like iGPU L4 coincides with the CPU's L3 cache? Am I reading this correctly?

This is how it is in skl/kbl too with the difference of SLM, which was configurable as a part of L3 earlier. There is also an additional eDRAM cache in some SKUs between the LLC and DRAM in skl/kbl.
Well, considering that it's the official position of the U.S. Army Research Office Aberdeen Proving Ground that

yes.

I'm not sure why people think this feature is so rare. It's like the Stack Overflow answer for "how do I render a static 404 page that doesn't go through Rails layout templating".

You have to do something wrong to have the bug --- render a file without specifying the format --- but you have to do something extra to avoid that mistake, and the feature works just fine if you don't, so I'm not surprised that we've found it in real applications.
> translating research findings is hard. Much harder than actually making them.

I think this is an indication that one is making findings in area that other people don't care about. Not necessarily that it is bad subject to study, but with some people, it is better not to spend the effort to explain, because only the prepared mind can understand.
I haven't spoken to the Here guys lately, but while they did hire a bunch of DL weenies, it looked like they mostly put them to work doing more useful things.

I'll say it again: no company depends on machine learning, other than, maybe Fair Isaac. Many use such things. They don't depend on ML. IMO the trend is in the other direction; many companies will begin to realize what they've spent on models isn't worth the returns.
> what's the relevance? What consumers could buy was records.

This subthread, starting from the GGGP, is about digital vs. analogue in the recording+editing+mastering process, not digital vs. analogue in the dubbing+reproduction process.

The relevance is that, despite the introduction of studio-side digital sampling, it made sense (and still makes sense!) to keep to analogue "working copies" (or at least higher-sample-rate lossless digital "working copies") as long as possible in the process, because the point you dub over to 16-bit LPCM ("CD-quality") digital is the point where you throw away information—and audio engineers in the 70s and 80s who didn't realize this are responsible for a fair number of these awful-sounding releases.
It's seems like a dumb brand of anti-authoritarianism. I think you're right, but so much of it is self defeating if it weren't actually causing problems it'd be comical. It's also a weird reaction to corporate distrust since a great many of these people are conservative, and the GOP seems slightly more up the butt of the mega corps.
This is actually really interesting. I doubt the person responsible even realized they were doing this. Hope Vox sees this and learns from their mistakes at the very least.

My view on this issue might be kind of lax but a lot of people don't realize they're being racist. Before we call someone out we need to first ask if their mistake can be attributed to ignorance, not ill intent. Put educating before chastising.
On the one hand, I guess this is good training for the modern "explicit verbal consent" world we live in.

On the other... IMO takes a lot of the playfulness out of it. I do this with my son, and part of the "game" is that he is saying no and running away screaming (with a huge grin), and I am chasing him. If he simply says "yes" and waits for me to tackle him without a chase, what fun is that? Obviously requires being able to read beyond verbal cues.

>Can you source your claim that MMT doesn't make normative judgements on inflation?

It's in the name - modern monetary theory. Much like the theory of gravitation does not posit that gravity is "bad" or "good", modern monetary theory does not posit that inflation is bad.

>That's not my understanding, it's not what this article says, and it's not what Kelton said in her debate with Jason Furman on Ezra Klein's show.

Much as your earlier posts massively misrepresented what I said, I strongly suspect you are misrepresenting what others said.

>In my understanding, the MMT economists would say "here are a set of policy levers we should use to ensure inflation doesn't increase", and in yours MMT economists would say, essentially, "single payer is worth extra inflation".

MMT economists might very well opine that extra inflation is worth medicare for all and at the same time set out a set of policy levers which can bring down inflation if desired. One is a normative statement; the other positive.

>The idea that inflation and deficits simply don't matter as much as conventional economists think it does is, as I understand it, a caricature of MMT that actually annoys MMT economists.

I think the personal feelings of many MMT economists is probably that a slightly elevated inflation doesn't matter that much. There are economists who are motivated by money and prestige who will naturally gravitate towards, for example, richly funded think tanks representing investor interests and there are economists who are interested in figuring out how the economy actually works.

These two groups will naturally have differing personal feelings about inflation precisely because the people who pay their bills do.

I think what pisses them off are the people who say that MMT is simply a theory that says governments can spend limitless amounts of money.
