I never want a sender with whom I have a bona fide relationship (business or personal) to feel ignored. If they were expecting a response and didn't get one, maybe I failed to perceive that expectation. Or maybe a technical issue caused the request or my response to get lost. Or most likely, I meant to respond and forgot.

And with that in mind, I absolutely want people to follow up if they're getting radio silence from me - and I don't feel put off if the follow up is only "ping" or "poke" or "have you had a chance to think about this" or "I need to know by X because Y". Its not like its that hard to reply things like "thanks for info" or "sorry I can't make it" or "that's really in Elizabeth's bailiwick" or "I need to do some research and I'm planning to get back to you next week".
They already came close in a ton of benchmarks and were faster in others. The biggest issue was AVX. They could run AVX2, but at (effectively) 1/2 clockspeed due to their implementation being 128-bits wide instead of 256-bits like Intel's (which downclocked, but was still faster for non-mixed loads).

AMD now has 256-bit AVX2 units, but unlike Intel, they don't need to downclock due to 7nm TSMC's lower power requirements compared to Intel's 14nm process. This should also affect 128-bit AVX instructions. It should be possible to reorder and push 2 through the pipeline at the same time in a lot of circumstances.
Could be that it'll still continue to have stability issues. For some reason Ryzens are extremely picky when it comes to memory. There's really no guarantee that 3-rd gen will resolve this issue. It's to the point where e.g. Corsair makes memory specifically designed to work with AMD CPUs. This memory typically contains Samsung B-die chips which work fairly well.
Do you think it's more difficult to guess physiological features from a voice or a voice from a picture?

I'm mostly deaf (cochlear implant) and one thing I've noticed is that if I watch things without my processor on (e.g., completely deaf), I can generally "guess" what a voice sounds like fairly accurately... I've wondered for a long time if it's a trick of my mind, a quirk of statistics, or something that's actually possible.
For me personally, anxiety would cause me to have gut issues (i.e. bloating, feeling sick, diarrhea, etc). After a while, the reverse started happening too, things like feeling bloated triggered my anxiety.

Just changing me diet to include a lot more fibre and cutting back a lot of processed carbs helped reduce the stomach problems which resulted in less anxiety.
Lightswitches and digital clocks are common tests, as are punching, jumping and most kinestetic tasks.

Man.. Loving this. Going to get the Ryzen 9 I think. My current machine is an 8 core i7 At 3.6Ghz and boost to 4.

Having 12 cores without the hyperthreading issues with intel and boost to 4.6 is going to rock.
This is probably not useful for production, but volatile is a great way to see what kind of code compiler generates in a realistic setting. For example, if you want to see how compiler optimizes a code snippet and the code depends on a constant that you don't want to get constant folded away.
To quote Ulam

Knowing what is big and what is small is more important than being able to solve partial differential equations.
maybe use fences?
I think the George Box aphorism linked at the bottom ("All models are wrong [but some are useful]") is closer to the right way to think about this.

With complexity comes additional explanatory power. Something with perfect explanatory power has infinite complexity. But the tradeoff is not linear in most problem domains; we can first add those concepts to our model that maximize the explanatory power relative to the complexity they introduce.

And much of the world, physical and social, can be explained in fairly simple models, which is excellent. For things that are less well captured with simple models, or for which precision is so important we wish to shrink the error term further, then great, pile on more complexity progressively.
Vastu Tips for Toilet: How to Correct North East Toilet Defect? Vastu Solution
A modular approach! Kudos to AMD for making it work nicely (anyone remember the first Pentium Ds, that were just two Pentium 4s clobbered together to make a dual-core chip?).

Apart from that, I think you meant two-and-a-half, not one?
Yeah I'm a big fan of John's and watch this same stuff! :D Glad to see him get some love here.
Not only are lawyers subject to the law just like everyone else, they are also subject to additional rules by the state bar. There are complex rules governing attorney advertising, which have long applied to typical advertising (e.g., TV commercials, magazine ads), and if they were indeed coercing employees to solicit reviews that they know to be untrue, they would likely fall afoul of some of these ethical rules.
We may actually get something similar, perhaps even empirically.

And maybe we understand it. Worse, we think we do.

Now imagine a Threadripper with the Zen2 cores, higher IPC and frequency would be certainly welcome. Have the 32 core 2990WX and it's an incredible CPU for compiling large C++ programs, running big test suites and never having to worry about running too many tasks at the same time.
How to Prevent RSI, by Building a Keyboard
> Actual 4G (as opposed to whatever your carrier has in your area) is supposed to be capable of up to gigabit speeds

Isn't what's being sold as 5G now just finally fulfilling the promises that were made for 4G? So we'll have to wait for them to sell 6G to get what is being promised for 5G.
That's true, if more software starts taking advantage of multiple threads it'd probably be better than most of Intel's offerings.
One worst-case scenario can be found in what happened to CDs in the 90s and 00s. Content companies knew people would buy a CD just to get the one popular song, so they would fill the rest of it with junk.

You could look at any app’s library in a similar way, where there’s only a small set of “good stuff” while the rest is old junk. If they collude to spread the good stuff around all the apps, then you are artificially forced to subscribe to all of them if you want to see that stuff.

Yes, that is their prerogative as content owners, but nobody likes it and you feel like you’re getting robbed instead of feeling like you’re living in an amazing future that’s giving you good value. And it costs more so not good for consumers.
You're not wrong about that, it was more dismissive than it should have been, though I'm not sure how else to express the idea I had in mind. Perhaps I should have instead said something along the lines of, "I value rapid growth startup companies very differently from established slow-growing companies." without expressing an opinion on whether that's reasonable or not. I'd guess everyone here can make an assessment about how growth is factored into company valuations.
Especially on the plaintiff side... the party you’re representing has already exhibited their willingness to initiate a lawsuit.
This reminds me of schopenhauer will as a representation. Very pessimistic saying that the will to live is primal and intelligence secondary to fulfill the first. I am surprised you talked about Kant and Hume but never mention Schopenhauer (lack of expertise by author?)
You mention 42, then a thousand, and then we're talking real effects. Twitter gets analyzed by professional analysts. It also gets digested without any analysis by its users.
If you have uBlock Origin[1] you don't need Aaklist, Disconnect or Ghostery. Even with it's default settings, uBlock Origin will circumvent anti-adblock and will block more tracking then Disconnect and Ghostery combined.

In uBlock Origin's settings, I recommend enabling all filter lists under "Malware Domains" to block malware & scam websites.

[1]Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpa...
Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin...

I believe uBlock Origin can be installed for Palemoon as well.

Nope, one-and-a-half! Two of the CPU dies, one interconnect die - that's going to be somewhere between one and two!

And their interconnect tech seems like it's going to be of huge importance in the server space - I can only imagine the yields on 8x4 core modules will be far higher than on a monolithic 32 core chip.
AIUI the 3900x delivers at just $500.

I am hopeful for the actual third party benchmarks.
There aren't that many benefits for super high core counts in your average enthusiasts use cases. Even games don't benefit from higher core count as much as you would expect.

The people who would benefit from more cores have the server specific lines of CPUs to choose from, so that makes consumer grade CPUs a compromise between core count and single core performance.
Often it is the case that the falsehood or myth that people are telling is actually a cover for a truth that they are trying to hide. For instance we don't want a black president because we're racist becomes Obama's birth certificate was fake. Or we want to destroy Iran because we don't like Islamic theocracy becomes Iran is oppressing its own people therefore we must liberate it. The myth hides the truth and the myth may be entirely false or partially false but a convenient cover for the truth that all believers can rally behind... while the truth would implicate the followers as not just or immoral or racist, etc.
I can't find the link but a youtuber tested various AOIs and air coolers and a Noctua air cooler did the best job cooling. Unless you like AOIs for some other reason (e.g. some people don't like all the space air coolers take), if you aren't running a custom loop you're probably wasting your money when water cooling.
12 cores with 105W TDP - good improvement over 8 cores with same TDP for Ryzen 7 2700X.
Vitamins aren’t that expensive and don’t take much time to take. I spend maybe $100 a year on them. Then I fill my pill organizer in 5 minutes every Sunday night. Takes 10 seconds in the morning to take the day’s vitamins.

I’ll admit, I do order them from Amazon so they may be filled with lead or sawdust or something. But so far no ill effects.
Sweet. Thanks.
Bypass? Ahh is by Yuval that guy who wrote homo deus so he probably repeats his ideas and this is promo for his book
“This is the story about how I solved my increasing problem with wrist pain. TLDR, I built a keyboard”

I think I would have mentioned building a custom keyboard in the title. That has a much broader appeal.
what surprises me the most here is how a trade group for setting global standards can be under control of a single country.

this in itself is a problem that needs to be fixed.
Where I live, two fixed wireless ISPs have about 75% of the market. One offers only NAT, while the other offers only NAT on all but their most expensive plans. So in my area, 75% of the internet traffic comes from just two IP addresses. Moreover, because there's only one backhaul provider, those two ISPs, the county offices, the hospital, the public library and the schools all have traffic originating from a smallish set of addresses in the same AS. Probably the same class C, but I can't say that for sure.

Reviews coming from the same IP is a useful signal for detecting fraud, but it certainly shouldn't be considered proof positive.
> Scrum is badly misunderstood and maybe that's a failing in and of itself but it's really a victim of the developers who sold it as a magical process.

Even if so, that would be in itself a failure of Scrum. A process that works only sporadically and only with exceptionally well organised groups ain't really all that much.

> It requires a high degree of trust to say "we'll pay you $XM in exchange for X sprints of whatever we prioritize with no fixed end state" but that's what you need to be agile.

...no? It requires a well-defined end-state, and that includes not defining the irrelevant. It's not really "give me $XM and we'll deliver anything from accounting software to a really nice puppet."
I don't mind 12 cores / 24 threads on my desktop. Makes compiling Mesa, Wine and Linux kernel a lot faster.
The majority of people throughout all history have believed in the supernatural. If you're one of them then this is probably the best explanation for the UFO phenomena. None of the naturalistic explanations are 100% satisfying.

As a sidenote I've noticed a lot of people in the UFO/ET community no longer believe ETs are from another planet. Most seem to think they're "interdimensional" beings (which just sounds to me like sciencey way of saying supernatural).
The problem here is that reading fake reviews on its own would not cause an injury. If the law firm had won the case, the woman would not have suffered any harm. Harm could only arise due to the reviews being inaccurate.
If your use case is to fry some meat, I believe Intel still holds the crown.

I'm expecting some new, crazy high binned, extremely expensive Intel CPU with sky-high TDP to be announced soon.
Hm, I understand your perspective but it's really a different topic altogether. "Paid subscriptions" may have been an accidentally narrow group of people, but I just can't imagine many houses with some discretionary income that aren't subscribed to Amazon Prime or at least one Spotify / Apple Music / Tidal / etc. account. That's probably naive of me.

There is a whole class of people who are content listening to whatever is on the radio or the same 20 year old CD's they've had forever without ever seeking new music or even knowing what's playing. That's really what I meant by people without paid subscriptions not caring.

I prefer the subscription model. I rarely get hooked on an album, but when I do, I'll listen to it on repeat for 1- a few months - and then I'll might not ever listen to it much again. These albums might be the only ones that make sense for me to buy (and even though, maybe not - I might hate it in 3 months - but let's consider the expense like a circus ticket or something, pay to experience pleasure).

On the other hand, a bunch of the stuff I hear on Spotify, I never seek again, it's just background noise. Sometimes this turns into a relationship and they win a fan, sometimes they don't.

The best way to support artists is by attending shows.

I have been hooked on Mac Miller's album Swimming for the past few weeks. Sadly, he passed, but he's the first artist I've ordered merch for, maybe ever, because I liked the album so much. Highly recommended. Start on track one and play through.
I didn’t see any word on whether the vector units are still half width. That’s still a major performance advantage for Intel.
What kind of player count are you getting?

I have been running 4 players with one of the most taxing modpacks on a mid tier digital ocean VPS with no hitches. Not many players I guess but in case you were curious if you could use a VPS. Even when we had multiple excavators sending thousands of entities through sorting pipelines it was stil doing surprisingly well.
Interesting. Do you have any idea as to which Noctua cooler it was? Their highest end ones run really close in price to the lower end AIOs.
I wish they had a slightly cheaper option without a cooler. I already have a good air cooler from Noctua.
And since you can't "get to" it with your existing list, this means the prime factorization of this new number includes at least one prime not on your list, and therefore you can grow your list with every step (assuming you're capable of prime factorizing arbitrary numbers).
Also with CPU performance starting to taper off I think people need to also start think of their computers as longer term investments. I think the 8 core makes sense. Even my phone has 8 cores now...
Are We Retreating from Algorithms or Recreating Community?
I don't want to believe... it's simpler not to. There's a huge stigma against belief in this sort of thing. It's obvious by the responses on this thread; even if you have radar that corroborates sightings filmed on an IR camera, our collective response is still disbelief.

I think this problem is difficult for science to study because it's not readily reproducible. Not only that, but any evidence that /does/ exist has been ridiculed, suppressed, and/or outright ignored for too long. Now we're seeing efforts to reduce the stigma, and I applaud that.
A lot of AAA game studios with larger C++ codebases use Incredibuild a lot. I can imagine having something with this level of parallelism would be incredibly useful.
If you're basing that comment on TDP, think again.

NVIDIA redefined TDP to their convenience, to mean something more like "averages". So their numbers can't be compared directly.

Always look at third party measurements. I'm looking forward to Navi's, while on the topic, as they've announced large improvements in power efficiency.
How to Digitize Artwork for Embroidery
When rococode says 'It turns out though, that improvements in NLP mean there is still hope for a slightly different incarnation of the Semantic Web.'
maybe the reason it failed is just another example of metacrap https://people.well.com/user/doctorow/metacrap.htm

aside from that my take is that it failed at two different points - first point original RDF specs and push to add RDF, second point SPARQL.

First point reasons for failure (in no particular order) -

1. The RDF community were sort of jerks - I can't count how many times people came on XML-DEV or other communities talking about the difficulties of representing RDF in XML and were dismissed with haughty versions of you don't need XML to represent RDF. This was not the most winning attitude to get new people onboard.

2. RDF is hard to represent in XML and almost every tutorial that showed you how to work with RDF did it in context of XML. At the time XML was the runaway train of standards success, and it seemed like the idea was to attach the RDF car to it in any way they could. But the two things did not really attach well.

3. Web development then, as now, has been about having to deal with lots of changes all the time, anything that requires a steep learning curve, has no immediate benefit, and is hard to do right is at a significant disadvantage.

4. About the syntax and mapping of RDF to XML, at the time I was building a product that was supposed to handle media transformations between many XML inputs and RDF was a problem for me. I remember another of the commonly said things at the time was you don't need to worry about writing RDF because your tools will do all that for you, well I was writing the tools and I hated it.

So for these various reasons, and the metacrap one, RDF did not take off.

SPARQL not succeeding was actually somewhat surprising to me, when it first came out I thought it had potential, but I did think it was going against some things that had quite the traction at the time -

1. I would often see tutorials with these Sparql/Linked Data URIS had all the search query in them and looked awful, this was when everyone was very excited about REST and making theirs urls meaningful to humans - the examples given just looked bad in relation to the aesthetic current at the time.

2. RDF was already thought of as a failed technology - once a technology fails it is really hard to get management to invest in a second coming.

3. The bloom was off the rose for W3C at the time, this was when WHATWG was being formed, another strike against from a managerial standpoint I'd think.

4. Maybe the strains of Web Development are such that it cannot handle more than one big standard arriving at a time - this is just a feeling on my part but SPARQL and HTML5 were coming at about the same time (or is my recollection off - I think both started in 2008-9) maybe there's just too much work for people to do that.

Ok, these are of course various expressions of my personal feelings as to why it didn't work, but given our inability to really test the issue I suppose the same will apply to anyone else's ideas on the matter.
Security by NDA, cheapest infosec.
My question is how is their architecture doing regarding the assorted speculative execution baked-in issues and what kind of impact is there on the AMD processors compared to comparable Intel CPUs?
Factories want to get paid for producing product, mines digging gold or ore out of the ground want to get paid as well. But, similar to excesses in housing in distressed areas, circa 2008 (maybe Las Vegas?), someone, somewhere lost money,
because price is not dependant on the cost of producing the thing. 'Cost plus' pricing strategy is one of many; cost is not the only driver, regardless of the good.
Computers are like cars, if you don't know how to use them safely, you shouldn't be using them unsupervised.
Psyop fakery: doctored videos were released through official
channels, trying to fool other countries we saw something
unusual. But why? Who benefits from that? What does it show to
others, that our own military is unaware of experimental technology?

I'm not saying that any of these possibilities are true, or even likely. But I can think of a few possibilities.

1. Certainly, there may be information that can be gleaned from these videos regarding the capabilities of our own aircraft. And certainly, foreign powers are eager to figure out the exact capabilities of each others' aircraft and other weapons. Suppose the USAF has doctored these videos in such a way that give a slightly skewed impression of the F/A-18's capabilities. Either to have folks under- or over-estimate them.

While the Hornets and Super Hornets have been around for decades, they have been continually upgraded, and even leading our foes to under- or over-estimate them by a few percent either way could be meaningful. Could mean the difference in a dogfight, missile attack, whatever.

2. Seems like a good way to for somebody to convince somebody that somebody out there has a highly advanced drone that seems to be several generations ahead of what's currently buzzing around the skies in the world's conflict zones. Heck, maybe the USAF is trying to scare the US government into providing more money to combat real or theoretical advanced drones like these.

Again, I'm not espousing any of these possibilities. Just thinking of possible answers to the "who would benefit if this is a US misinformation campaign?" question.
I am a paying subscriber for the New York Times . If you can afford it and you find yourself running over the amount of views, you should consider subscribing as well. Actual journalism (as opposed to only recycling news and posting opinions ) as done by nytimes, wpost, wsj, New Yorker etc. is an expensive enterprise, but one that is hugely important to our society. (This particular article however is of course not an example of actual journalism and probably not worth the click)
Thank you for the insight.

Well, they lost me then and probably many other potential readers on mobile devices.
racist prejudice displayed in this article is nauseating. seems users from certain asian countries showing interest in european politics automatically become members and proof of disinformation campiagn. shame!
They are full 256 bit wide now, that's how it can claim a 2x float perf. improvement. It also doesn't have an "AVX" offset.

> They think it matters a lot more than it does

We have pretty significant evidence over the last decade indicating otherwise. The RAND institute did an entire paper about it.

>If the politicians are persuaded that any of this matters, then they'll be more inclined to stop it mattering. And that means laws that curb free speech online

Pretty sure misinforming the voting public matters? Uneditorialized journalism and publishing created this issue. Don't try to pretend any law addressing this problem is somehow constraining the free speech of the public.
