All modern x86 CPUs are essentially “RISC” CPUs that translate x86 instructions into uOPS so they already do what you want to do.

I’m not seeing why the higher level x86 instruction set needs to be jettisoned or killed off...

Simulation is one way to produce a numerical forecast, but the prediction of any forecast model would never be the result of a single simulation run. Model predictions are always (or should always) be reported as an expected value, or the average over many simulation runs. The expected value of a random variable (e.g. mode output) is probably the most fundamental concept in all of statistics/probability, and many mind-wrenching (read: wrong+incoherent) internet hot takes are rooted in logical fallacies about the science of prediction. The reason that there are more predictions (17) than models (14) is that several of the models (eg Hansen 1981) consider several distinct “scenarios” based on differing assumptions about future levels of GHG emissions.

Secondly, the forecast models evaluated in the study are from the likes of James Hansen, William Nordhaus, and the IPCC (in other words, authoritative sources). So at the very least this adds weight to the hypothesis that the models published by the IPCC are accurate and methodologically sound. Sure, there is some probability that the models and reality corresponded by random chance, but that probability is made ever more diminishingly small as evidence accumulates.

So, I don’t think any of the comments in this thread that accuse the authors of retrospective cherry-picking of climate models are anything but embarrassing examples of pseudo-intellectual contrarianism and/or confusion over basic statistics.

Intel in Talks to Acquire Habana Labs for over $1B
There’s one other sub-angle: that a company may be interested in buying to prevent their competition from buying the tech. Buy and bury is a valid worst case acquisition outcome for some acquirers.
I loved the perl taint mode. In this mode, perl understands what data originates outside the program and puts restrictions on how you use it.

Perl also has strict mode, to tighten up your programming.
Without it you don't have to declare variables, but on it requires variables to be declared before use.

More languages should help programmers like this - sort of a ladder to go beyond just low hanging fruit.

This one is easy.

The places with the longest living and happiest people are rural towns.

The places with the shortest living, most stressed people are also rural towns.

Small numbers breed statistical anomalies because it’s easier for 10 people in a town of 100 to happen to have bad or great lives than it is for 10000 of 100000.
It seems that wedding photographers keep the copyright so that they can reproduce them for self-promotion and advertising, which totally makes sense.

Also, if you think the cost is unreasonable, I completely disagree. Photography is a very expensive vocation, and the wedding season is very short. There is little room for error, and the photos have an enormous emotional significance. The event day (or days) is incredibly long, and cataloging and processing images can be an enormous time suck afterward. I get that some people may not be interested in wedding photos, but that doesn't mean the photographers are overpriced for the work they do.
It's not about tomorrow. It's about in X years when violent government oppression on some group or other starts up again.

It's not making the assumption that your government is never going to be rounding people up for brainwashing/torture/gassing/etc ever again.

When that happens, all the data these surveillance companies have is going to make the future gestapo downright gleeful.
This comment seems kinda slanted. AVX-512 debuted on Xeon because datacenter operators asked for it. It does not “downclock a whole chip”, it gates the core where it is active and there’s not even that penalty on the current generation parts. “10nm” is marketing fluff which has little or nothing to do with actual semiconductor construction. “Chiplet” is also marketing-speak for “wow this memory topology is hard to program around “. Not sure they should feel too bad about missing that boat.

What Intel really should be worried about is the client side being their largest revenue segment. That’s a dead business, eventually. And the bets they made didn’t pan out: FPGAs aren’t popular because the people sophisticated enough to use them are also smart enough to tape out ASICs. IoT is not a thing.
Why should a lively and interesting discussion be flagged? I'm interested in hearing all opinions, not trying to shut down someone I disagree with.
If any of my serious argument is an anecdote just point at it, I will provide a source. I don't think I'm irrational and would be grateful to anyone pointing out some dubtious material of mine given as a solid argument.

The total impact on health (and therefore the real costs) of the nuclear industry will only be known when the last site will be completely decommissioned and the last waste innocuous.

Low carbon countries are high in nuclear because none of them really invested into renewables. Concluding that nuclear must be part of the mix is at best weird. Especially given that there are very few new nuclear powerplants projects, many of them failures (very over-schedule and over-budget), and that the capital intensity induced by a fair proportion of the few new potential projects condemns them, given that the TCO of renewables is quickly getting lower and lower.

The political side is also grim for nuclear plants, probably mainly because of the NIMBY effect. Most ongoing nuclear powerplants building in progress were ordered by nondemocratic countries (France and Finland being among the rare exceptions, however many in France argue that the democratic process ("débat public") is not really applied upon nuclear matters). This may reflect an 'undue failure', i.e. public opinion may be wrong about this and maybe should forget about NIMBY, however this is at least a failure to communicate as in many countries the official lenient message isn't in favor, and many people just don't want any nuke powerplant. This is not absurd, as the "everything is under control, the risk is infinitesimal" message is seriously shattered by disasters.

As for transport electrification and fuel cells are indeed potential solutions, however even more remote in time than an infrastructure-oriented approach. Generalizing new types of powerplants nationwide cannot be done quickly, costs large amounts of money, and implies trade-offs (see Germany at work, and this nation was lucky because the decision to effectively switch wasn't totally out of the scheduled cycle of nuclear powerplants decomissions, reducing the losses). Modifying the energy architecture underlying a significant proportion of transport means is an even (much) more difficult target.

I hope that thermal solar can be sufficient to provide to fuel cell (no nuclear powerplants necessary), and see no sign of being wrong.
It's because it was radically overused by managers trying to justify all sorts of dumbassery, so much so that it became a joke. E.g., it was memorialized in this lovely deck of corporate jargon flashcards: https://www.amazon.com/Corporate-Flashcards-Knock/dp/1601060...

Would you say that building technology with the hope of being acquired is probably a bad strategy? It seems to me it should be safer to try to build some kind of product/service using that technology, that way you have at least your product as a revenue channel, and your product can make a business case for the technology you're developing as well (as well as server to increase awareness).
You lost me there. Hoping to have sincere discussions here.
If the statutory damages are that high, why not offer a consumer-targeted service that automates the attorney-sue-part of the whole ordeal? Or at least everything except the small claims date, so you just get told when yo appear and are given some briefing by the service to know what you'll need to do in court.

Take commission, and take care of all collection that might be needed. Drag non-payers to criminal court/liquidate their assets. It's not so much about individual-claim-level ROI, but about making robocall operations as dangerous if not more so than running a meth lab.
It means 95% of the studies should turn out to be a real effect, not just a random coincidence.

Interesting to track who exactly "they" might have been, as many commenters are saying this is uncharacteristic for OpenBSD.

Looking at the patch, the first OpenBSD commit of this file [1] is from 2000 and says "from BSDI" in the commit message, did fork()+execve() at that time, and the BSDI copyright comment says 1995-1997.

Probable to say more recent OpenBSD stuff is likely not written this way, but that they have baggage like this in the tree from earlier times.

If the server is contactable, and the server goes from returning a signed KEY_IS_VALID response to a signed KEY_IS_ALWAYS_VALID_BECAUSE_DISNEY, it has the same level of security as the existing solution. It does give SecuROM less subscription revenue security, though.
$1MM in 1988 is about $2.15MM today, hardly different from what these folk raised.
I'm not an expert, but what you describe as "capital sitting doing nothing" is, presumably, capital invested in some kind of market index? In which case it's by definition not "sitting doing nothing", right?

Unless you were referring to capital in the sense of owned non-market property that appreciates with time? Land/property values are a major topic of discussion throughout this thread for sure.

Just trying to make sure I'm following the thread of the argument here.
Apple's Technology Transitions
I welcome the nitpicking, but I stand by my statement :-p
If the goal is to avoid bankruptcy, then the probability needs to be interpreted differently. If you bet the house every time, you're guaranteed to go bankrupt eventually. Suppose instead you bet half your money on an event of 50% probability. If you take 1:1 odds on this, then when you lose, your money is divided by 2, but when you win it is only multiplied by 1.5. Your money will tend to decrease over time. You need to pick odds 1:a such that 1+a/2=2 => a=2.

We recover our regular betting odds by betting a smaller portion of our money. If we bet a portion 1/d of our money on an event of probability 1/p, we needs odds 1:a such that 1+a/d=(d/(d-1))^(p-1). For large enough d we get a=p-1, as we would expect.

Assume again you're betting half your money each round, but take a probability of winning of 84%, as in the article. You should take that bet at 1:1.14 odds, much less than the recommended 1:5 odds.

>Your employer can only afford to hire you if you make more money than you cost (again, with a few exceptions of course) so no matter what you are getting paid less than your true value.

This seems like a somewhat simplistic way to view a company. The amount you "make" for the company isn't the same thing as your "true value," because that isn't a real concept. The value you are able to provide changes based on context and objectives. It's leverage in the moment, not "value" in some inherent sense. Do you think every employee in the world should be able to just quit their job and suddenly realize the same return without changing their costs at all?
A couple points to balance the opinions seen in the comments:

-While the photographic offer grew a lot over the past decades, demand spiked as well. Ask yourself: how many pictures have you seen since you got up this morning? We're surrounded by screens.

-It's not the camera that makes a great picture. However advanced and accessible the hardware gets, there's still a need for the creative minds operating it to produce quality content.

For sure, owning good equipment is not enough anymore to make a living out of it, which was the case in the past, especially for local, family photographers. These needs are now fulfilled by the technology in our pockets.

The scene is now worldwide. There's a profusion of imagery everywhere. To stand out of the noise, one needs to specialize and up the ante.

Getty and other stock providers make the growing demand and offer meet, dragging down the value of "common" photography (through dubious ways sometimes). There's still plenty of space for high quality production, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

ARM has never enjoyed a Op/J advantage over x86. They have low-power designs, yes, but they don’t do more work for a given amount of energy.

x86 won fair and square. The risc people failed to foresee that instruction density would be extremely important to performance. Intel didn’t beat them with physics. CISC is just fundamentally better.
IANAL but I do run a business that's subject to Australian consumer law. The limitations are not based on the date of the contract of sale, but the date on which the consumer became aware (or reasonably could have been aware) the product was defective, and/or an action was taken by some party to render the product defective.

The consumer legislation does specify a six-year time limit from then on, but that clock only just started ticking.

However, a refund is not obligatory. Repair i.e. a patch is an acceptable remedy under ACL.
While I agree that it's a little sketchy to profit from this, the basic idea seems completely fine to me.

Practically, what is different about manually skipping every single ad (which I - and presumably other people who might consider a skipping feature useful - currently do) versus automatically skipping them? It seems to me the only difference is that automatic skipping frees me from a minor annoyance.
> Every podcaster is going to claim that no, it's really what they think, what a marvelous coincidence. It's amazing what someone will "think" when their paycheque relies upon it.

I think there's a lot of truth to this, but there are also plenty of podcasters who will literally try all the products themselves (or have some staff do so) and if the thing is no good, pick a different sponsor. The biggest shows are often in a position to do this without any real sacrifice, other than the time investment in testing: they have loads of sponsors knocking at their door that are all offering similar (large) amounts of money, so they're free to pick the one they honestly like.

Here, I feel like the gray area is that they're unlikely to have tried the alternatives to the product. So they'll give a ringing endorsement of Squarespace or Mailchimp or Purple mattresses, but all that shows is that it's probably decent stuff, not the actual highest-quality or best-price option for the listener.

Overall, though, I feel like it's practically a miracle that we have an online media industry that is free of the totally maxed-out creepiness of website advertising (tracking across media, profiling down to the individual level, etc.) And it's even making money. Just listen with a healthy skepticism about the ads. I think most people do.

No, but one has 64 N1 cores and the other has 80 N1 cores, probably with similar memory controllers and PCIe as well.
There were dozens and dozens of "climate models" which predicted everything from global cooling to a fiery wasteland and everything in between. Of course you could go back and find a model that "predicted" correctly because every possibility was predicted.

That's like dozens and dozens of "stock price models" predicting FB stock to go up, down and stay the same. Of course one is guaranteed to be correct.

What is "scientific" about this? It's simply people who want to prove something and then narrowly searching for the data to prove that point and ignoring everything else.

This is so disappointing coming from something calling itself a sciencemag.

Its not perfect, but I feel mostly safe having this camera now.

You know, sometimes that's true, but sometimes they really do just communicate what a product is and why you might want it. There are a couple podcasts I listen to where the ads are almost uniformly worthwhile — for someone, if not for me. Podcasts with obstreperous or manipulative ads tend not to be worth listening to anyway; good podcasters value their audiences too much to insult them.

As a thought experiment, could you choose priors by setting the derivative of the solution with respect to the priors equal to zero? This would be the case of minimal sensitivity.
It depends on how big a commitment you want to make. I quit my job to go study biology and it worked out pretty well for me. Programming opens doors for you because the majority of biology grad students can't do it. You get good work and an accelerated path through classes, TAships, research and other university business. If you want to work in IT, the experience you get is perfect for applying for prestige places like Google, Facebook or Amazon. Mostly I've spent the last year writing pattern matchers to extract subtle patterns from huge data files.

If you're not ready for a big commitment (and even if you are), I'd recommend taking some classes too get a feel for the subject. Khan Academy has two (or you can google around for more) that look pretty good. The just-plain-Biology one covers a surprising amount of useful information. The one on Genetics is useful too, although you might want to skip past some of the stuff about cross-breeding animals and whatnot.

Another thing you can look at is Synthetic Biology, which is biology plus design, biology for hackers. Synbio says biology has been too interested in describing and cataloguing, and not interested enough in building. So even though what we can do is pathetically simple next to the evolutionary process that designs new organisms, we can still do little things like making human beings immune to all viruses and designing cyanobacteria that produce crude oil from air, water and sunlight. If you're interested in Synbio you should check out the iGEM competition, which is a major event and an organizing site for useful information.

If you don't feel like crawling around the iGEM database of standardized biological parts (it's like the library docs for Life) you could look at these videos instead: https://www.ibiology.org/playlists/synthetic-biology/

Since one of authors posted the paper, we do know:

> “We conducted a literature search to identify papers published prior to the early-1990s that include climate model outputs containing both a time-series of projected future GMST (with a minimum of two points in time) and future forcings (including both a publication date and future projected atmospheric CO2 concentrations, at a minimum). Eleven papers with fourteen distinct projections were identified that fit these criteria.
> ...a representative from the CDC named Susanna Visser said that she and her team absolutely believe in persistent Lyme...

I see references to this online but they're all hearsay. I'd like to see a direct reference. The closest I can find is a quote from her in an article in The Atlantic (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/09/life-wi...) but it does not state an absolute belief in persistent Lyme.
> People fear monger about the police's ability to request footage from a neighborhood (key point being request, the owner of the Ring still gets to look at the footage and decide to release it or not).

The police can ask nicely for it by requesting it, or demand the video with a warrant or subpoena.

Getting a warrant or subpoena for your video data is infinitely easier than it would be without Ring as an intermediary, because Ring already told the police the data does, indeed, exist and that you have it. It's also infinitely easier because a judge is more likely to sign off on a warrant for video from a specific person and camera, than they are for a warrant that casts a wider net.

If they go to Ring with a warrant for video the company says you have, you don't even have to be notified when its taken.
