>iOS Safari W3C non-compliance is well known, a little googling will lay out the (intentionally) missing features.

The illogic here is a little scary: Firefox and Safari on iOS basically have the same level of web standards compliance according to html5test.com, yet one is intentionally not implementing features?

No fanboyism; just the facts.
Damn. Good point.

But arguably there will always be user-controllable open-source apps.

Hmm...he was wrong while not being wrong.
The most brilliant guy I ever knew was a founder of the field of computational geometry. He has probably co-authored 500 papers by now. he was a paper engine and would hold court with 10 or 15 people and they would all figure out how to prove the theorems in a paper. His students said that when solving problems he just never seem to to go in the wrong direction ever at all! At age 29 - already a full professor - he got the NSF Wasserman award - top researcher - all fields of science. His dad was a farmer in Austria. He was the first computer scientist to ever get the Wasserman award. Herbert Edelsbruner.
It is late and my head is fuzzy but from the research paper ( https://elifesciences.org/articles/46966) a few things jumped out at me - 'We found that our subtraction procedure, as well as other linear subtraction methods we tested, failed to produce accurate estimates of correlations between spines and the global reference signal'. & 'Inferred correlations between input (spines) and output (soma) did not reliably predict true correlations, even in simple and linear models of the relationship between activity and fluorescence signals in dendritic spines. This was also true for all linear subtraction methods we tested'.
Not true. It hardly really works and even then in just a fragmented set of retailers.
It’s not that hard to just run delombok and then run these tools.
Hard to say what's causing this. try "is abortion good or bad" on Google vs Bing and you get very different results. Bing provides evenhanded results and Google is almost entirely pro-abortion.
Just as a tip to those who find the text somewhat light (too light grey, perhaps also a little thin): there are add-ons that can turn off CSS and make it easier on the eyes. For me, turning off CSS and making the browser window a little less wide makes the "book" (website) a lot nicer to read.

I don’t think so - it’s just another processor flag and processes can switch it as needed. For example you could switch while reading data from a network connection and back again afterward.

Training ResNet with 8IPUs is roughly the same as 8GPUs. I doubt it was Tensor Core optimized so I assume the GPUs can go way faster.

I'd love to spend some time and come up with Graphcore optimized models. But at this stage fused Tensor Core optimized ops are much more interesting to me.
I ended up writing a mostly-declarative tool for managing my mix of docker-composed and init-system-ed services at home when that got too unmanageable.
It used to be that every ISP ran a Usenet server. The reason why they stopped is a crackdown on illegal content (piracy and obscenity) on binary groups. The reason why almost nobody complained is that text groups were already in terminal decline.

Mutually reinforcing cycles that led to the current state of Usenet as a seedy backwater where it was once an essential part of the Internet (and the UUCP network before it).
It absolutely is. And .sucks domains are much more expensive than most other TLDs.
Disagree -- paints are made from pigments that are real-world things, that show many colors. Why would it be hard to get the color right from paints if you can see more colors? Probably tetrachromats are overrepresented in the paint-color-creating world!

In addition, painting photo-realistically is more about edges and angles than colors.

What a great article. I would love to see more hardware/electrical articles to balance out all the software ones.
Hard to say. Our whole team experiences it, there are a dozen related issues in the issue tracker, and the docker-cli and Go bindings work fine while docker-compose is timing out. Based on the issues we’ve had and those files in their issue tracker, there are lots of related issues including some where the docker daemon (or perhaps the docker for mac VM) is unresponsive; we’ve definitely seen that, but as previously mentioned, we’ve also seen this issue while the daemon responds to other clients.
Maybe you should enlighten us all about the evils of the Nestle corporation then? Just saying stuff and not following up reflects more poorly on you than the parent poster.
Because 50 ohms is an universal standard for most radio frequency equipment, not just microwave. It (often) doesn't make sense to invent your own coax, connectors, transformers, and chips. At the end of the day, the selection had its rational back in the days, but it eventually became an agreed convention that everyone just follows.
Are there any interesting theories? I think a lot can be attributed to just randomness. Some time in the evolutionary process we got infected by a bacteria, the mitochondria is now a vital part in our bodys energy system...
Yeah as I understand it that ain't going to happen for a thousand years, minimum ...
It's not that surprisingly that the one making the decisions about the browser engine is blamed, not the one forced to use the browser engine instead of their own, is it?
It’s common for car seats to be attached to a seat belt which adds some play. From a random manual, page 16 gives an example using seat belts: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/D1xDQvLJ3iS...

The LATCH system is seems to be bolted on, but not always used. It’s still going to bounce in a crash as the seat cushion has a lot of give under these forces. Further, in terms of real world companions you need to understand people don’t nessisarily use safety equipment correctly especially if it’s more time consuming. Comparing LATCh attachment vs seat belts is a whole other discussion.
I generally agree. To be fair, my goal is to understand and be understood, not necessarily to express myself correctly - not at first, at least. I suppose it's similar to the way children learn?
A good point, and cars are a perfect example. Older cars tend to be less efficient than new ones, but there was a point in time not too long ago when you could repair anything in your car with a welder, some elbow grease, and a free afternoon. New cars of today tend to require expensive somewhat expensive specialists to fix, and I've been hearing that the future is in cars that refuse to start unless the ECU can cryptographically verify that each and every part is authentic - that's like an immune system of sorts, except one that isn't protecting your car, but the manufacturer's ability to take your money. Unfortunately, it seems that more and more complex products are heading this way.
This technical approach is how I tried and failed to learn German. In the end what worked was exposure/absorption and getting a feel for what sounds right - the same way I learnt my native language.
JavaScript is not a platform.
The thing is if people beat c there is always some kind of 'but'. I'd never use c but it's speed isn't really being challenged, just approximated.
How do you justify the idea she'd be worse at picking colors that go together?

If you pick points that are close together in four-dimensional space (to make a simplistic analogy) they'll continue to be "close" in a topological sense under any linear projection to three-dimensional space. Or for a different analogy, if objects group together under a filtration, they'll continue to group together under a coarsening of that filtration.
much appreciated!

In the mac settings about keyboard/shortcuts, you can define program specific shortcuts; e.g. take the exact name from the firefox menu for the 'next tab' action and give the shortcut you want.
I'm not even convinced current data/networking conventions are optimal. Something will come out, probably not before 2025, that will make us think of traditional network requests (and definitely the DOM) as archaic.

> Cloud services (AWS/GCP/Azure) only make sense for smoothing out unusual/seasonal peaks, or support rapid growth. If you are 100% cloud based, you’re throwing away large money every month.

Absolutely. Lots of loss-making companies out there spend millions on their budget on these services only to help make their providers turn an easy profit.

This is why they continue to beg for more funding rounds in return of less control of their companies and end up still being unprofitable even in their Series X even.
I’m sorry to question the point of your work, but what is the point, exactly? How is what you do at all useful for any practical purpose? What can you do for me that I might want to do but can’t currently do with DL?
Love hearing about the people and stories involved with the creation of Acorn and ARM systems. As a kid I was a big fan of Acorn computers, and still have a soft spot now.

Back then I was really excited when the StrongARM processor came out. The RiscPC, which used it, was significantly more powerful than any previous Acorn and had an innovative case which you could expand by adding ‘slices’ to hold more hardware. It also included an optional 486 processor board to run Windows at the same time.

Remember seeing one machine that someone had expanded to over 15 slices and included a sandwich grill.
Neither. There's a clause that you can't have less seats than you did in 1985. Alberta's & Canada's population have grown much more than the 25000 people that PEI's has.

We could force/sandbox apps that want access to the net to pass through middleware (with pinned keys etc) the user controls, and remove the SSL (really all networking) code from the apps. Want to resolve a name? Submit it here. Want to make a GET? Submit it here.

That will remove their most cherished authority, so clearly they would hate it and come up with endless fake excuses, but that's why open source matters.
It's in the heart of the web platform. Or should I have said "the browser engine"? It works well on backend and frontend. It's the one true platform with which you can bypass any OS.
>Maybe being native in the language makes a difference?

Often two languages share a word, but it's much less common (or even obscure) in one of them and it's unlikely that non-natives know it.

For example, "die Kartoffel" means "potato" in german, while in in polish it's "ziemniak", so they aren't similar at all.

However, polish also has "kartofel" which is a word that every native speaker knows, but you won't find it in e.g. newspapers.

browser extesions are a privacy feature. my browsing is much more private on Firefox with ublock origin then on no extension safari.

As for Safari using less power and ram on mobile there is no evidence that Firefox would uae more of either since Apple doesn't allow it to run. As far as we know if other browsers were allowed to run some might compete on power and ram.

As for security, chrome on desktop has a superior track record. The CVE list proves this, so by denying competition Apple denies users more secure browsers.
Does this work if the two communicating processes use different versions of the struct?
I think this too, when I read about WASM. It seems to be tackling the same problem that java was created to solve. Namely, a platform independent VM for running applications (applets) in the browser.

I, for one, would appreciate an explanation of how WASM differs from the original JVM, if someone has a moment.

"meaningful written content like a film script"

Award winning, agreed, no. Good enough for a special effects blockbuster or pr0n or stereotypical teen comedy or date night romcom, probably good enough.

Ironically the cheapest part of a movie right now seems to be the script / storyline, and some kind of Amazon Turk with more flexible morality might write better than we get now versions of special effects demo reels (aka action flicks) or pr0n or teen comedies via the magic of extensive A/B testing and population sampling.
Generally speaking, there's two large categories of archivers in competition with one another:

1. Efficient random-access storage. If compression is supported, it is done on a per-member database.

2. Efficient all-at-once compression (block/solid compression). This is either handled explicitly by file format (RAR and 7z, for example), or the archive doesn't support compression (tar) and itself is processed through an external compressor.

On the first category, I would argue Zip has clear superiority over most other file formats. It supports all metadata fields for both DOS/Windows and Unix operating systems, and has very wide support amongst everything. Zip does not support the second category of archival formats.

In the second category, 7z (I don't know about RAR, but I suspect it holds true) only supports DOS attributes and modified dates, making it totally insufficient for backing up a lot of kinds of Unix file trees. tar is generally the de facto standard for Unix and naturally supports all metadata. I would argue gzip is long obsolete; zstd is much faster (it can nearly compete with xz too for file size).

tar files don't really support random access for individual members, lacking a central directory, though uncompressed files can be seeked rather rapidly anyway as the tar program just skips over members (each member encodes its length). Compressed tar files make this worse, since the entire archive must be uncompressed in memory just to find anything. This is a large reason that tar is mostly restricted to being used when extracting individual members is not a generally useful operation. If that is a useful operation in your datasets, go for Zip.

Message passing of Smalltalk-72 was quite complex [Kay 1975]. Code in the language was viewed by the interpreter as simply a stream of tokens. According to [Ingalls 1983]: "The first (token) encountered (in a program) was looked up in the dynamic context, to determine the receiver of the subsequent message. The name lookup began with the class dictionary of the current activation. Failing there, it moved to the sender of that activation and so on up the sender chain. When a binding was finally found for the token, its value became the receiver of a new message, and the interpreter activated the code for that object's class."

Thus the message passing model in Smalltalk-72 was closely tied to a particular machine model and programming language syntax that did not lend themselves to concurrency. SENDER was retained as part of the message-passing protocol, which is problematical for distributed systems. Also, although the system was bootstrapped on itself, the behavior of language constructs was defined (like Lisp) by an interpreter instead by their response to eval messages.

In America you can laugh at Donald Trump’s hands all you like.

I'm a project manager. Putting aside the possible/not possible speculation for a moment, what I hope to see in the near future is a kind of support system that could evaluate work in progress, work done and other factors to better help us with risk management. Schedules are tighter than ever, deadlines are seen as life or death, penalties for delays are easily surpassing the million USD marks. So I think we need all the intelligence we can get to understand what's really going on in project and make the right decisions to minimize/eliminate risk.
I think it was something to do with barely visible cracks in the polystyrene parts which might affect strength. Supposedly.
I think this is a very good explanation. You're emphasizing that a trichromat will experience the same activation of their cones to the wavelength of yellow light, and light containing the wavelengths of red and green mixed. So the spectra of these two colors will be different, but appear identical.

Whereas a hypothetical tetrachromat with an additional cone type that activates to the yellow wavelength, will have obviously different activations of their cones for the "wavelength of yellow" and "wavelengths of red and green mixed". And hence experience them as different colors.

I'm not familiar enough with the different definitions of color spaces to define how to model this. You could easily define it as a four-dimensional RGBY color space, but to my understanding the other color spaces are defined because they have better properties for combining different colors, or playing better with interpolation between colors.

It would be a challenge to come up with a good four-dimensional color space that is a useful artistic and visual tool, given that there are very few people around to evaluate it! And also because all computer monitors are trichromatic, so it'd be a job in itself to set up a test system.

I wish someone in the interview had asked some of these people how they experience photos on computers!
thank you, I might take a stab at it later.
The Pygmalion Effect: an invisible nudge towards success
Ethernet transmission is broadband not tuned like a radio but the same equations as presented in the article hold across most of the bandwidth (where the skin effect holds). Actually, I am not sure whether the article is referring to tuned or broadband communication but in a sense it is irrelevant because practically, a large proportion of the energy transmitted in a modern broadband system is in the skin effect domain. If this wasn't the case, the system would be highly inefficient in the use of available bandwidth.
These look like "canned" responses - one of the terror inducing parts of managing an emergency response is, in the middle of everything, choosing the right set of words to use when telling loads of really worried people - and it is dry easy to put it off and that lack of communication makes things bad

this smells like a tickbox on an incident response webform - the responder is just clicking "we have identified", "production database" (or network issue or ...) and the response handler does the rest
