Elon Musk did not defame the guy he called a Paedophile on Twitter
The caveat at the end of the article is grounded in reality. I've personally experienced material precision bugs when running Intel-targeted code on AMD microarchitectures. These edge cases are very difficult to test for. The only reason we ever detected instances of these bugs is because we ran numerical codes at massive scales (finding the edge cases by brute force) and customers occasionally ran identical test workloads across both Intel and AMD clusters and compared numerical results. Every so often, something would surface.

It is not Intel's responsibility to ensure that there is no obscure edge case in AMD's microarchitecture that may cause the MKL algorithms to give incorrect results on AMD silicon. MKL's design is based in part on Intel knowing the internal details of their own silicon.
I suspect that psychometric tests would also be able to predict success in terms of having friends/relationships and living a low stress life.

As someone who's not entirely convinced VC funding start-ups isn't the best model for how society can allocate resources, I'm always impressed with how pg thinks, but I find he misses the boundaries of the world he lives in. He's right about artificial tests, but he fails when he says the current situation really allows "people doing good things" to get ahead. I mean, just look WeWork. It's hard to claim WeWork won at an artificial test, unless you count convincing others with your confidence as your test. I'm not sure that's what he thinks it is though.

You can claim non-artificial tests are "better," but humans (VC's) still hold the purse-strings so to speak. If you can convince them you're winning the non-artificial tests say of the market, then you can get money and do coke and party for a while, whilst sure your company will crash and burn but you escape unscathed with millions of sweet free money. My point is the problem is deeper than just "artificial" vs. "non-artificial", although it is an important aspect.
UK Sort Code + Account Numbers _do_ have check digits (Its not precisely a check digit as such: they have rules that they have to obey to be valid). Because of the age of the system, there isn't one _consistent_ rule for all sort code and account numbers, but instead a document listing the various methods and a couple of tables saying which rule(s) to apply and how

In most cases the sort code is included in the checksum

Yes I guess I was thinking if Youtube isn’t a part of Google officially as a company in a proposed split, they’d have to actually pay for the Google datacenter costs. Similar to how eBay left PayPal once they split. It wasn’t worth PayPal’s prices.

So I was assuming all this with the hypothetical inclusion of the actual cost of YouTube.

I agree with the Google servers and bandwidth being essentially free, YouTube likely breaks even at least.

What part don't you think is true? The bank only has to match on the account number and sort code by law. It's not required to do name matching (and even the proposed name matching scheme will be voluntary).

It might be important to you that the money goes to Jim, but from the bank's perspective they executed the instructions correctly.
> I'm not aware of any Chinese websites that don't just use Pinyin for their domain name.

There are tons. One prominent email provider is a three-digit number. There's a job board at 51job.com.

(What's 51job? Read in Mandarin, that would be "wǔ yāo job" [five one "job" (the English word)]. This is felt to sound similar to "wǒ yào job" 我要job [I want a job].)
Intel's pretty motivated to do so for competitive analysis reasons even if they don't care about doing QA to benefit AMD.
GitBook comes to mind.
A sort code is a six digit code that identifies the bank and the branch of that bank where the account is held.
For a more thorough review, two points:

- This is a mathematically elegant approach, and the author is to be commended.

- The legal challenges impeding implementation would be staggering.

> "Each ballot has a randomized order – this means that a right-hand ballot alone can’t reveal who the vote was cast for."

This may be legally possible in some areas, but none with which I'm familiar. The ballot has to be known and printed weeks in advance of the election. The costs are already huge. Managing randomized hard-copy ballots is going to be a tough sell.

There's just a bit more afoot here than (admittedly splendid) abstract mathematical exercises.

It's baked into various systems, protocols and conventions? Sweden and other EU countries which didn't adopt the Euro also retain their traditional account numbering systems

A part of the Eurozone transition was that all local systems were replaced by SEPA SCT/SDD, which are inherently IBAN based. But SCT/SDD only apply to Euro transfers, and so in non-eurozone locales the existing infrastructure and nomenclature is retained

> Japan has the same system of sort/branch codes and account number, but when I enter those here the recipient name is automatically filled out, making incorrect transfers pretty much impossible (unless, I guess, your mis-entered transfer to Mr. Sato is transferred to a different Mr. Sato instead)

There is a Confirmation of Payee system coming soon in the UK (which most of the large banks have, unfortunately, delayed). It works slightly differently: it will compare the name, but not _generally_ tell you the name of the recipient because that comes with privacy concerns

Remodeling is already fairly prevalent in the US, especially in popular, expensive places where it's difficult to get new housing approved. Most people I know that bought a house also did a remodel that costed them $100k-$300k before moving in. I'm somewhat surprised more construction companies haven't gotten into it.
You can _always_ derive it. For any case where you can't, something funky is going on (perhaps a common holding account IBAN where customer-specific information is encoded in the reference. I've seen this occasionally from TransferWise and Revolut)

I thought you meant adding other scripting languages to the browser. Not a WASM runtime.

That's likely still not a good idea. A specific runtime is likely to be outdated fast. That's like asking why the JQuery library wasn't shipped with the browsers themselves.

For runtime with a significant size, it's probably going the same way as JQuery. Have a CDN host it so different websites can use it and leverage the browser's cache.

Yup, the number of people in this thread buying into Intel's excuses is astounding to me.

I went on to skim the latest Pensions at a Glance [1] report from just last week, which drives your point home [2]:

> When voluntary private pensions are taken into account for the whole career in Belgium, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States the average replacement, for these ten countries, is 58% for an average earner compared with 36% when only mandatory schemes are considered. The voluntary component has the largest impact on the replacement rate (more than 29 percentage points) in Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Note that this is also gross (before taxes) and since tax rates are lower (in the US at least) for this cohort during retirement, most particularly by not paying into Social Security (roughly 15% of employee plus employer contributions for people making less than $120k/yr) the numbers are understated. The section on net replacement sadly doesn't include voluntary pensions.

It's called requirements analysis. I think it's primarily a social/political challenge because it means asserting yourself in areas where business people presume to be expert or may have been (often wrongly) given direct authority.
A big reason some people are more assertive about fixing requirements is that they may have more social/political standing/skills than others. Often it's not because they are the only ones who know better.

> Metric expansion does not result in causality issues because it's an isolating phenomenon

No, in the specific case of the concordance cosmology (and more general expanding cases such as an expanding Robertson-Walker spacetime, or a 4-dimensional de Sitter spacetime), the manifold is still Lorentzian [1] and globally hyperbolic [2].

These features let one sort trajectories into spacelike, null, and timelike. If spacelike trajectories are forbidden to interacting matter and gravitational waves, then we get our usual idea of causality [3].

Collapsing Robertson-Walker spacetimes and anti-de Sitter spacetimes are defined on globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds. They are defined as free of matter and gravitational waves. However we can perturb them slighly by adding a bit of matter, even matter that generates small amounts of gravitational radiation, and as long as that matter and radiation moves only on timelike trajectories or lightlike trajectories, we have the normal causality even though the interactions among separated bits of normal matter perturbing these collapsing spacetimes will generally become more frequent and stronger over time. Indeed, this remains the case even for very highly accelerated compactions, where at late times distances between objects contract faster than light between the same objects can move.

Other commonly encountered spacetimes -- the flat spacetime of Minkowski approximately describes laboratories on Earth and in the International Space Station, and the (exterior) Schwarzschild spacetime which approximately describes the spacetime in which Earth-orbiting satellites move -- are also globally hyperbolic and Lorentzian, and thus we only need to keep superluminality at bay to guarantee normal causality.

In short: our usual idea of causality comes from being able to forbid a certain class of trajectories, and in physically realistic spacetimes (i.e., ones which approximately match parts of our observed universe), those are all as far as we can tell free from things moving spacelike (i.e., nothing's faster than a massless particle, and light is made up of massless particles, so nothing is superluminal).

Taken the other way around: our local observations of causal interactions (both locally, like in laboratories, and astronomically) are strong evidence in favour of us inhabiting a manifold equipped with the requisite features [1][2]. Alternative explanations have generally either failed in some way (self-inconsistency, obvious incompleteness, or inconsistency with repeatable observations) or been more complicated than, but reduces to, General Relativity in some limit. None of the second variety of alternatives has yet to be demanded by actual observations that cannot be explained using General Relativity as the underlying spacetime theory.

What about all the many years before 2014 that the US unemployment rate was significantly more than almost all of the European countries? Did the lack of minimum wage help in 2010 when the unemployment rate was 10%?

Also, that's a flat out lie. Greece, Spain, and Italy are pulling up the average with their huge unemployment rates, and the vast majority of unemployment rates besides that are almost the same as the US and in some cases lower.
I have a feeling that many people who complained were not affected because they either never used Linux or they only used Linux and could just not upgrade.

Yes - it is not illegal or even unlawful for a doctor, an insurance company, a utility like a power / phone / water company to send you a grossly incorrect bill and cause you dozens of hours of work to get them to see THEIR mistake.

They always have beef with this and tell me that “normally they don’t do X or Y unless A or B”. I tell them that I fully understand their position, but my position is this:

“When I hang up this phone call it will either be because you have credited me for the day that my service failed and I had to do your company’s job debugging it, or because I have terminated my service. The choice is yours but those are the only options.”

> I can't tell if you're being naive or deliberately perpetuating an Intel FUD. You're being part of the problem by doubling down on some ambiguous comment (which is not even based on any real test)

I have never actually seen Intel comment on this, I just personally have experienced headaches porting numerical code between two different architectures (not AMD <-> Intel though), where on the surface the architectures appear to be the same and straightforward to swap between, but in practice they are not.

This doesn't mean one of the architectures had "problems" and the other did not. It's not about one architecture being inferior than the other, they're simply different.

I believe the most important thing we can teach kids is the ability to discern influences, at all time. Some are positive, and obviously some are negative. Everything exert an influence on us and it is crucial to be aware of it.

That's not the point, the point is an instant is not a date. And common ways of getting the date from an instant are likely to give you the date of the instant interpreted in your current timezone for your computing env (which is often what is wanted such as when displaying for a user), so when you extract the date portion, it is not the intended one. So it's not that there's an easy right way of doing it, of course there is - but there are also easy wrong ways which also seem obvious.

Also, forget about the receiving side, you're also assuming that the sending side meant the date for the instant as at offset 0 instead of in their own timezone (which is probably how the instant is being displayed for them). From experience, that's not a safe assumption - witness any instant meant to mean "today's date here and now" derived from a now() call alone or truncated to have 0 time parts (in current time zone!) - I see that attempted a lot. Way too error prone especially when you don't control both sides.

Your original point was something about how you don't like Java's erased generics (and general language evolution). I explained how they fit in with, and, indeed, the best choice for Java's design philosophy that, despite being drastically different from .NET's has proven exceptionally successful -- namely one based on a platform made of several integrated but very much distinct components, with a fast-innovating state-of-the-art VM and a slow-innovating conservative language. I think it was rather straightforward but if you've found it masterful ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The issue is not in 2040, it's between now and 2040. For example, the current population in the 40-45 age range is nearly 2 million less than the 55-59 range. So sometime between now and 2040 (probably around 2030) we are going to see a decrease in the number of newly retired individuals. By 2040, the first wave of millennials will start retiring, which should make the 'silver tsunami' less of an issue.

How to Paint a Face – Make Realistic Painting Tutorial #2
I stopped reading at “Most wealth is created, maintained and sustained by extracting unearned rents from the rest of us” because that is a description of a zero-sum situation; it is impossible to create wealth that way, one can only redistribute it. Bill Gates for example created a company that was valued by the market at many billions of dollars, billions of dollars of value that did not exist prior to Microsoft. He did not “trick me into paying more than necessary for something out of ignorance” (asymmetric information), but instead created a tool worth thousands of times its cost to me (a software developer).
It's feasible to know the shape of the current field, so you know where to drill deeper for more information if you want it. For example, you have a file in one format and you want it in another one... if that doesn't make the word 'compiler' or at least 'parser' pop up, you need some more education. You probably don't know everything about compilers, but you can search for information about compilers and find out enough to get by.

The thing to avoid is becoming a person of one book, or a person of one tool, where you know one thing and only one thing, and you experience deep anxiety when you're out of your (one, singular) comfort zone. Being an expert in everything is impossible, but being an expert in one thing with no knowledge of anything else is definitely something to avoid.
