I'm not surprised if people are confused about this. I don't think there's any magic involved, but examples I've seen about what they do don't make sense for the numerical code they talk about.

For instance, https://clearlinux.org/news-blogs/transparent-use-library-pa... talks about architecture-specific versions of OpenBLAS, but on x86_64 OpenBLAS dispatches on the architecture. Also it has similar DGEMM performance to MKL, at least on for AVX2 and below, unless avx512 has been improved recently; BLIS is competitive also for AVX512. The example does imply something useful that they seem to have done. That's to add SIMD hwcaps for dynamic loading. This is an important omission from vanilla Linux/ld.so, which means you can't build specific libraries and automatically get the appropriate one loaded for the architecture you're on. (Obviously you can arrange to get the appropriate one with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ld.so.conf, but...) As far as I remember, the only thing that works for on x86_64 is TLS, i.e. there's a /usr/lib64/tls on Fedora-ish systems, but not a similar one for avx2.

Clear Linux has a script which looks at GCC optimization reports and adds target_clones attributes to C(++?) functions which report they're vectorizable. Many of those won't be helpful. The example I've seen, but don't have to hand, was for FFTW but, like OpenBLAS, that dispatches to SIMD-specific kernels. What the script picks up in the example is useless; I think it's just in a test harness, but at least not something that will make your FFTs go faster. That sort of thing can actually be harmful if firing up the SIMD unit lowers the clock rate to no good effect.

There may be problems with that anyway. I haven't had a chance to investigate closely, but adding target_clones to the generic C kernels for BLIS' DGEMM doesn't get the performance that it should, compared with a straight -march=. [It might be worth noting that you can get about 2/3 the performance of the hand-tuned DGEMM kernels with the generic C and appropriate GCC flags.]

This stuff isn't specific to Intel hardware (v. AMD) except insofar as they choose specific targets, and Zen is similar to Haswell for linear algebra kernels.

This is the part that confuses me about UBI. Why would anyone work if it became widespread? You could just stay at home and read, work on hobbies, do art, serve other people, play games, etc. instead of going to work. I pay tens of thousands of dollars in taxes, but if UBI was implemented I'd be paying nothing in taxes (assuming my UBI is not taxed - though, they tax social security, so they probably will tax UBI).

For those wondering about the 9.8% stat:

There were 75 cases of measles reported in the US last week, bringing the total in 2019 to 839 [1]. 75 / (839-75) = 9.8%.

A more useful statistic is that the WHO reported earlier this year that measles are up 300% from this time in 2018.

Having built such an application (w/ complex business logic), I have to disagree. But I'd like to hear what problems you've run into.

I would agree that react-admin is a bit too simple, and this stack really calls for a BUI to be built specifically to fit the PostgREST model.
Before the introduction of measles vaccine in 1963 and widespread vaccination, major epidemics occurred approximately every 2–3 years and measles caused an estimated 2.6 million deaths each year.

So, you were saying?
>Any machine eventually calls in sick when it undergoes maintenance and failure. Of course the failure modes are different than with human labor, but the point is machines also fail.

I think that robots are more fungible and predictable in failure than humans. You can plan around that, like plugging in spare hard drives and machines when they fail so throughput is not affected.

The problem is that one "gas station" is owned by iHeartMedia/ClearChannel. And if you drive onto their lot worth an RC Cola in your car, you can't get gas.

With the first new measles case it was an oo% increase! This current rate of increase is infinitely better. Good job everybody!
It's all relative, but I don't think a game console can be compared to a general purpose pocket computer. Even Apple has been marketing the iPad as a laptop replacement.

It really is! There's so much I couldn't do without her. We both have our own mental and physical health struggles (Me: depression, ADHD, fibromylgia, and T2 diabetes, Her: Sensory Processing Disorder, anxiety, and bipolar 2), and we like to joke that between the two of us, we make up one whole neurotypical person.

When one of us is struggling, the other helps pick up the pieces. When both of us are struggling, we work together to prioritize what actually has to be done (ex: we have to acquire something for dinner tonight, but we can do the dishes tomorrow), and do the necessary things together.

> That requires making the case that the consumer believes they are buying a general computing device

Considering Apple has been pushing the "iPad is a PC replacement," it's a fairly easy case to make with regard to iOS and the App store. There is a lot Apple has done to push the idea that the "users" are in control of their information and that "there is an app for that." Couple that with the history of people being able to customize their phones in certain ways, it's not a case that is that hard to make, especially when compared to contemporary phones.

Well, the clear difference is that stuff dumped into the sea will make it to the surface sooner or later. Containers will eventually leak and the dangerous materials will get into water, which then will carry it all over the world. Waste dumped into a 6km deep borehole is not coming out ever. I've made another comment above with a link to the wiki article about project deep borehole - where exactly this was researched and found viable for long-term storage of radioactive material. But was of course stopped by......public protests.

You can also get the MMR vaccine at Walgreens for $99 in just a few minutes with no appointment and no prescription (some insurance may also cover all or part of it, and if you have an FSA, you can also use your FSA card).

Most pharmacy chains have it in stock and offer it to walk-in patients. If you are sure you've never had any MMR vaccine at all, they may recommend two shots, separated in time.
Since the lockup expires in the same tax year, can't they just sell after the lockup, take the loss, and then use the loss as a write off against the RSU gain so they only pay taxes on the actual realized gain?
“Past events, it is argued, have no objective existence, but survive only in written record and in human memories. The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon.

PR firm for JD. Looked at your post history after I posted (should have before I posted). You're pretty active here. Sorry to have asked it.
This is an unhelpful contribution to the narrative that vaccines are unsafe. Consumers who don't have time or medical training shouldn't feel uneasy about vaccination except in unlikely circumstances (in which case they're much better off getting advice from doctors and not YouTube), and seeing a video called "How High is the Risk?" adds to that uneasiness in ways that directly harm public health.

EDIT: See comment below. As the video intends, I mistook it to be anti-vaccination propaganda, when it's the opposite. I have minor concerns about non-forthright information campaigns, but apologize for jumping the gun.
For the analogy to work, you just need to realize that Fortnite is the closest thing kids have to a self-selected, competitive "workplace".
This doesn't just prevent fixing - it prevents modification. If I want to change something about my car or motorcycle or tractor or airplane I should damn well be able to (assuming the modifications comply with all laws, which is not the issue here).

Other comments say that these tractors are always purchased with a loan, in which case the loan provider (and insurance companies) can make stipulations about the usage and maintenance of the tractors. And perhaps John Deere can help enforce those. But for them to just put a unilateral blanket ban on modifying their equipment is wrong. If they have a monopoly it is an abuse of power and should be punished; if they don't then the market will fix the issue itself, for example via farmers complaining and then not buying from them any more.
Thanks, I'd forgotten the numbers. They aren't quite as bad as you say. The Ethiopian report shows their radar elevation around 14k feet before the descent, so it seems they made it to around 7k feet AGL for a few minutes. Not enough to be able to give up 8k feet during a recovery, I agree.
If you mean that the space for this single experiment composed of two rolls (random variables X and Y) is the cartesian product of {x=1,x=2,x=3,x=4,x=5,x=6} and {y=1,y=2,y=3,y=4,y=5,y=6}, then I agree.

But the fact that each variable alone is defined on the "same" sample space {1,2,3,4,5,6} is irrelevant.

The situation is no different from the joint probability for random variables X and Z corresponding to a single experiment consisting of a dice roll and a coin toss, where the relevant space is the cartesian product of {x=1,x=2,x=3,x=4,x=5,x=6} and {z=1,z=2}.

And it is also similar for the situation you asked about, with a random variable Y and a "conditional" random variable X|Even. The relevant space is the cartesian product of {y=1,y=2,y=3,y=4,y=5,y=6} and {x=2,x=4,x=6}.

> autism epidemic

Is it actually an epidemic? Everything I've read on the "rise" in autism cases suggests it has a lot more to do with more accurate diagnoses (i.e. autism would previously be entirely undiagnosed, or would be diagnosed as some other disorder).
> I can do anything I want to my car, even if it kills me and the people in the car ahead of me.

Actually no, and driving without brakes is a perfect example. Driving a car without brakes on a public road is a crime. Arranging approval for autonomous driving on public roads is an involved and highly regulated process. Hacking in your own "improvements" is similarly criminal.
in the same boat w/ a 4 month old... fucking retarded anti-vaxxers... (sorry for reddit-level cursing), but seriously these people need to be forcibly vaccinated or exiled to that island where all the lepers lived.
What excites me most about this is being able to test on iOS devices without all the Apple signing paranoia and having more browser engines on iOS.
I see a fair number of people blame the anti-vaxxers for the current outbreak, but is that really the case? It could also be due to immigration or other sources of foreign contact, but I don't see anyone considering that angle.
I certainly don't like it, no, but that doesn't make it antitrust in this case. My feelings and desires aren't what determines law, and thank goodness for that.
That could be the right interpretation. It still struck me as odd to think that no access to Github and Gitlab would prevent anyone from developing software. Others HNers have listed other resources that are difficult to access from China and I have to agree that without documentation it becomes really difficult to solve many issues that one might encounter.

It's not that difficult to set up your own git remote. But if you don't have access to documentation for your libraries it really becomes tough.
The only pre-20thC buildings that remain are the ones that survive. The ones that survive are the ones we like and that are able to survive (not plywood and well built). Survival is the real measurement of how much we like it - it is the ultimate arbiter of aesthetics/beauty/cultural significance/engineering excellence, and it trumps all the chatter of self-appointed critics. If it's garbage, we tear it down or stop maintaining it until it comes down on its own. Darlyrimple is right, "it's ugly, just look at it." These buildings may continue to fall because people don't like to use them. I'm just worried that people will adapt to like the buildings .
Yeah, with the important difference that in sailing you lose speed (and heel) when heading into the wind, whereas a plane will go even faster towards the ground... Scary!
Is there any danger in getting re-vaccinated if you're not 100% sure you've already been vaccinated?

I am arguing it is constrained by its manufacturer and that consumers are well aware of those constraints on purchase. That is sufficient for the consumer to take on liability if the choice does not meet their needs.

True, but generally the bohemians and artists are the first ones to replace the working-class character of the neighborhood with their own, until they themselves are replaced by young urban professionals...

Comparing the wide Internet to a neighborhood with fixed space constraints is a rocky analogy to begin with. The foundation of a new city would be more appropriate, starting with a small population of intrepid explorers in a wild uncharted wilderness and growing to a massive commercial behemoth...

Tell sexual humans not to be sexual due to some made up non-sense myths and put them in positions of power and authority, what could possibly go wrong? They want to stop child abuse, and sure who is not for that, but how about stopping myth abuse?
The big difference seems to be when the spice is added, with Church's/Popeye's/Indy's/Zaxby's spice added primarily before cooking/frying and the Nashville Hot added seemingly like an afterthought as something of a dry rub on top of the already fried chicken. (There are of course exceptions and variations in recipes, but that's the starting gist more or less.)

A large benefit of the Nashville Hot approach is that it is easier to spice to order/taste (most Nashville Hot restaurants are known for their numbered spice scale, they way that Thai is also typically known for its spice) rather than try to hit a consistent spice target. Which means that by default a Nashville Hot place "mild" may be less strong that Popeye's comparable "mild", but also that the scale goes to spice extremes that a Popeye's wouldn't try for fear of lawsuits. The article mentions that Prince's has spice levels that they only allow for carryout and will not allow people to eat on premises for fear of bothering other customers. I've seen Nashville Hot joints require certain spice levels to be accompanied by a glass of milk and for the eater to wear disposable gloves while eating.
I do think you have a better argument: if Apple has falsely advertised the capabilites of its platform as being capable of general computing, it may be liable on that count. I do not think you can argue a history of customizing phones, given Apple was the first provider with this scale of adoption.
You'd need to turn it all the way over, which is likely to upset the passengers.

If you're going to say that German insurance costs 15% of income, you need to also say that Medicare costs 2.9% of income (counting the employer half) to make an Apples-to-Apples comparison.

Why the Melting of the Hindu Kush and Himalayan Glaciers Matters
I said that two or three times at work just today, where something technically trivial (set a Linux sysctl tunable or adjust some application parameter) would be at the end of a long bureaucratic adventure and difficult convincing of people who set those parameters incorrectly earlier, and thus would have to admit that they were wrong. :)
As if they're paying attention any more, if they ever were at any analytical level.
Most jobs in the near term that will be automated are going to be low paying clerical (secretaries/data entry)/predictable physical jobs (think fast food prep). A lot of these people have to work multiple minimum wage jobs to support their families. You're delusional if you think all those people working at McDonald's get a sense of pride and worth every time they fill a container with fries.

I disagree with your assumption about education. A lot of people take pride in their knowledge. Most great scientists throughout history were basically trust fund babies. That's how they could afford to not work in a field and instead get educated and study science.

I want us to look at this the way we look at the invention of agriculture and not some dystopia where everyone is living in a slum. Agriculture freed up a lot of people from worrying about finding food. Do you think they were against growing grain and lost their sense of purpose because they didn't have to spend days running down deer? I seriously doubt it. This then led to people specializing in other fields. We see people becoming masons and building grand structures. Moving from militias to standing armies. Studying the stars leading to the ability to navigate the oceans. I think it's going to free up a lot of people who would have other wise been minimum wage indentured servants to have the ability to study and become great scientists or writers or doctors or whatever. Who knows how many great minds were wasted toiling away as a serf to some lord.
Thank you very much. This is very valuable.
The one thing I can guarantee you is that McD's makes me ill. Every bloody time I ate there, mostly on the road in the US where there is nothing else for a long way around. Only the fries are safe.
Not to disagree, but CO2 levels are not just about energy; they are also about food - livestock, in particular.

Furthermore, CO2 levels are one aspect of a larger problem, "pollution", and I'm not entirely convinced it's necessarily the worst part of it.
> Can you legally fix your car or your older tractor? Has that always been true? You can't legally fix these machines because the manufacturer says so. That's new(ish) and a power (money) grab.

Contracts that limit your ability to do things are very common.

If you buy a pure bred dog, you will typically be required to sign a contract that requires you to not breed it and to get it neutered after a certain period of time. If for some reason you need to give it up, you will have to return it to the breeder.

If you buy a movie on DVD, you can enjoy it in your home, but you can't set up an impromptu theater by projecting the movie on the side of a building.

The import thing, was the customer provided notice of this restriction at or before the time of sale. It sounds like the answer to this question is: yes.

You may be tempted to to claim some sort of power imbalance, which I don't buy in the general case, but in this particular case it is even less relevant. Large farms that use automated machinery costing many hundreds of thousands of dollars is the very definition of sophisticated customer, capable of hiring legal help and evaluating options.
