It's all about complexity per chip. Complexity as number of components per chip.
Well, shall we go our separate ways in our way of thinking then. Neither I or you are wrong. I'm just seeing the forest and you the tree.
1) Because it's not enough. See Iraq. How many trillions are you ready to pay for the privilege of another quagmire?

2) ok not sure I was implying different.

3) you missed the point. If the US attacked disproportionately, it is highly unlikely that the USA would have the support of the world. At this point it would be expected for them to retaliate through any means available. Did you see the accuracy of their rocket? It destroyed a specific building at the base. The reason there were no casualties was because Iran told Iraq (who told us) that they were going to attack. No one wants an escalation.
Do you have by any chance recorded this?
It's amazing how people fail to see that public cloud is the equivalent of a hotel.

It's far cheaper than buying a house... in the short term.

Cloud providers are not getting hardware, datacenters, electricity and labor for free. You are still paying for it.
Instagram's image recognition in alt-text
If you open Instagram on a web browser and take a look at the alt-text of the image elements you will see that they have image recognition with pretty good accuracy and detail describing the photo.

I am not sure if it has been posted about before but I stumbled upon it during image load times and was amazed.
On a long enough scale the carbon we added to the atmosphere will get sequestered again, and using more efficient plants everywhere would cause a swing the other way to a reduction in CO2 and global cooling. That's a much easier and slower problem to deal with though.

That would be so far in the future though we can't even imagine what the earth would be like, or what we would be capable of, or what the population would be. Hopefully we decided it was important to leave large natural spaces on the planet.
I think this article just convinced me to get a Yubikey...
Top Mobile Ad Mediation Platforms for Mobile Apps and Games
I love AirVPN, going to test this out for sure.
Mostly from Clairton, PA.
Thanks for sharing all this, author.

I've been a corporate coder all my career, but sometimes wonder what it must be like to run my own show. Your writings are highly interesting.
Eh, I'm having a hard time finding what advantage this would actually give you.
> Consider, though, that the importation of slaves was banned on the first day which was legally allowed.

None of this counters my original point. Cotton was an utterly crucial crop in the USA's development, and the total value of all slaves was 48 times the expenditure of the federal government, and 7 times the total value of _all_ the currency in circulation at the time (1860). I'd call that a pretty important backbone, even if it was localized to mainly the south.

> And a school district in Alabama was ordered to desegregate less than ten years ago. What's your point?

My point is that the last lynching was in 1981. That's utterly ridiculous. It only trailed off in the 1950's. Also here's a map of the lynchings[1], see a pattern? Maybe if you overlay a map of the bible belt[2] it becomes clearer. Love thy neighbour, right?

> Consider that the book (and movie) "The Shack" portrays the three parts of God as an African-American woman, a Middle-Eastern carpenter, and an Asian woman as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, respectively. "White Christian America" still ate it up.

To quote you: What's your point? These are outliers. They don't represent the majority view. Maybe they ate it up because it was "wacky" to see a brown Jesus on screen. Only on screen mind you, I don't expect many of them would want that imagery taught in churches! God forbid.

> Maybe those people just see the world from a different perspective than you.

Yeah, I expect their tax-excempt churches had a pretty fair and balanced discussion about both sides. No wait, riling people up about abortion then using that as a device to get people to vote your party into power, so you and your tax-excempt gravy train can continue to benefit is far too much of a good thing to risk. Especially by discussing how we can adapt society for the future rather than harking back to the good, clean family-friendly past (lynchings or not).

Everything is about control. Some people form opinions from TV, some from church. Just because a man stands at a pulpit doesn't make his words any different from a news anchor behind a desk. It's just unfortunate for their followers that they support such a regressive party. And as certain segments of the population age out and Christianity continues to shrink you'll see them ratchet up the furor to stay in control. Control people like you.

But hey, hold your nose and vote for the candidate that was sent from god[3], right?

You aren't concerned the government can get all your data after you've pleaded guilty to something? Because I'm concerned people can't identify what a bribe is.
Not really for the type of VPN AirVPN provides. Wireguard (still) has many issues in that area, some of them foundational.
> “Our approach is grounded in Facebook’s fundamental belief in free expression, respect for the democratic process and the belief that, in mature democracies with a free press, political speech is already arguably the most scrutinized speech there is,” Facebook’s head of global elections policy, Katie Harbath, wrote in the letter to the Biden campaign.

Even the mature democracies are vulnerable when it comes to misinformation, manipulation or treating democracy not as "the will of the people" based on the rational mind, but a behaviourist's playground.

Looking at the past 3 years or so, FB people should be the first ones to know that.

When I think about Libra and read this, I'm happy that the regulations around crypto are much, much more strict.

Yes, but if you are logging the IP for spam prevention, security tracking, etc, then you are in the clear per Article 6, section 1, point f [1].
However, you can't also use the IP for fingerprinting, ad targeting, etc, without acquiring informed consent, per section 1, point a.

You can put the IP in your security logs because that is necessary to secure the service. Just have a routine to scrub the logs once they are too old to be useful anymore.

You can't put the IP in your shadow profile database and sell it to shady marketing companies, unless the user has explicitly agreed to that.

The question isn't only whether something is personal information or not, it is also a question of what you intend to do with the data.

>Betteridge's Law applies to controversial statements where the author wants to provoke people but doesn't have enough evidence to say it affirmatively

That applies perfectly here though, no?

Moore's law is dead, the statement is controversial, without enough evidence to prove their point and this is mostly a PR piece, as others have pointed out.
I thought both Flutter and Chrome use Skia for rendering. Does that not result in comparable GPU acceleration?
Facebook might just be backing into optimizing for their audience. So Facebook might still be successful in 5 years, but dominated by a more conservative crowd, while the rest go elsewhere.

And so perhaps it’s a sound business decision to align the business to the audience with these moves... In the same way Fox News will wink or even sometimes promote misinformation, Facebook basically is culpable at the same level, but making a business decision that that’s the kind of media company they want. Especially as the rest of us leave, and the conservative echo chamber reinforces itself further.
Yeah, but his female characters like Bliss and Dors are especially embarrassing examples of authorial wish-fulfillment. He might as well have given Pelorat and Seldon his own name.
Because Facebook knows that it is a problem and instead of taking a stand against the propagation of misinformation, they’re leaning in and exploiting it for profit.
It is common practice.

It's not how it works at Google.

Actually not that bad!
Why is sales demotivating? If the product and market are right, it should be exciting. I love sales because it's like talking to fans.

Designers are often needed very early. Pay might be a little low early on.

Product is also vital but often management/founder tier that early on.

Testers are often vital in the early stage, sometimes second or third employee. It's not all bashing buttons. Testers often follow the sales team and act as customer service. It's important to understand UX/customer flow and can be an entry point to Product.
thanks for thinking about that! do you think there's a way to identify that the terminal is black-on-white and use something like that by default? i don't really care that much about specifics as long as it can pick one automatically depending on terminal settings.

I second this. This has replaced nnn for me and solves so many devops headaches. Excellent work!

This should teach anyone that tackling something that's considered "the basics" is not a bad idea. It is astounding how these really simple things can still be enhanced (or even revolutionised ;)) in 2020.

I have a photocopy of a memo from Gordon Moore as part of my computer systems lectures notes that endorses a broader meaning of Moore's law. And more to the point from the descriptivist standpoint, the phrase "Moore's Law" was first used in '75 shortly after people started thinking about Dennard scaling and I don't think there was every a time that the phrase was consistently used only to talk about transistor count since that, in practice for the first 30 years, always went together with transistor density, clock speed, and power efficiency.
Apart from the fact that there often are consequences to political lies (even if indirect), these platforms dramatically amplify the effects of these lies, and given that the platforms profit from it, there is a huge conflict of interest.
The point of chiplets is to make effective use of the leading nodes, obviating yield issues for these while resorting to cheaper, coarser nodes for non-critical parts of the whole package. They're not saying that having a multi-chip package by itself is enough, but this is what's enabling them to leverage other improvements. It's not even restricted to Intel, AMD is doing the same thing.

Blocking people is a solution. I don't like it either, but if your target audience is solely the US, I can see why you might decide to do that.

Auditability for non-first parties is all most impossible. With the other mediums it’s easy to record what was said and rebuke. Digital ads only exist for the target audience.

Ya the problem is it's not public, as noone is able to see the individually targeted lies they tell in order to refute them.
I really liked broot after using it for several minutes.

One of the downsides is that it calculates the space everytime with -s option which makes it slow in that mode.

If you seek for really fast tool for that purpose then try ncdu which calculates the sizes only once at start then then does that only on your request by pressing the 'r' key.

Here is how ncdu looks like:

This is really fascinating, are there some benefits you foresee of this addition to D? I know the O/B system has been popularized by Rust, but have not really thought about it outside of Rust, is this an efforts towards -betterC or will it be used towards those efforts?
My Cordova-based app has a download size of 5MB. It is the most lightweight app I have installed. Most native apps come with at least 50 MB, often a lot more for god knows what reasons.

Is there some line you don't want it to cross? As tech progresses, there will be increasingly more about everything you do that gets logged.
- `if value in my_map` is a one off special case - ugly, nasty, hard to figure out how to extend it (what if I invented my_map to have special logic for `in` ...I need to search the docs for a magic method called for that operator ...if I even know for what keywords to search, ugh)

- `if my_map.contains(value)` is nice and consistent, easy to search for the code of the .contains method and figure out what it does

- `[x * 2 for x in my_list]` another ugly special case syntax, instead of general purpose higher order functions, even in Python while a `.map` method could've been easily added to dictionaries too, we had to wait years (decades?) for dictionary comprehensions to land in the language, and it's another damn special syntax one has to remember. ugh! - a sane solution not involving higher order functions usage would've been to make everything in the language an expression and have `for ...` expressions return lists or dictionaries or sets, still better than the fugly "list comprehension", I really can't comprehend why people like them

- `my_list.map(x -> x * 2)` nice, clean, and general. If I work with a weirder list like thingy and want to see the logic of mapping, I can easily jump to the definition of it's `.map` method

Most pseudocode is ugly and ambiguous and actually hard to read without special context from the text around it because you're never sure what something actually means, can't easily "jump to its implementation code and read it". Same like natural language, hard to non-ambiguously understand and ugly as hell in technical context where math and diagrams work 1000x times better.

I can't understand why people who are trained in math, physics and/or other sciences would ever choose something just because it "looks more like pseudocode"... To me pseudocode rhymes with... pseudoscience! It's never what you want when you can choose something better.
Its a crime to mislead the public in the UK.
If the carbon tax is sufficiently high many things happen: Production of high carbon goods will move elsewhere (read people will lose their jobs). Prices of common goods (like food!) will go up ensuring that the common people have less cash to buy "things", resulting in a recession. All this adds up to a successful campaign by those who pay it the most to ensure that you are voted out next election.

You can play with the edges, but attempts to go to far with tax policy work against you.

I don't understand why Tesco couldn't just start some pilot in a handful of stores, iron out the kinks, learn about reliability problems etc. and only after that decide whether or not to roll out the tech in all stores. That's what basically every supermarket chain here does (it has to be said they are often franchises here). For example, self-scanning in the supermarket chain I've been shopping at for years started used to be in only a handful of stores, but slowly more and more stores are getting the tech.

Same for the e-ink price tags, I've spotted them in two different supermarkets of the same chain so far but I'm 100% sure that in ~2 years literally all of them will have them.

You're right, people protect more than their job; they protect their ideologies, too.

There's an interesting story about the early Buddhist monks who, while the Buddha was alive, would squabble and fight over "right view". So, even after giving up almost everything, they were still attached! The Buddha, in classic Buddha way, responded by walking into the forest to meditate alone.

Personally, I wish we'd all just relax and realize what assholes we ALL are, each and every one. There are no exceptions.
As far as throughput is concerned, mostly the idea that there is an DIMM at all. That means that there has to be some wiring between the CPU/MC and actual DRAM array that has manageable number of wires and reasonable RF/EMC characteristics.
Totally makes sense, but if you block just say "we don't serve out of US", don't bullshit with "we are coming up with a solution".

They're not exloiting it, they're just being a company. Companies have one goal and one goal only: maximize revenue. The idea that it's up to them to define or moderate social standards without being legally obliged to do so is absurd to me; like your parent-comment said, this is not inherently a platform-problem, yet here we are, treating it as such.
I enjoy reading older SF too. A lot of SF is responding to older works, expanding or critiquing on their ideas.

If you choose to name your character Jezebel[1] you might have an ulterior motive...

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jezebel#Cultural_symbol

EDIT on the other hand, from the same page -

> In his two-volume Guide to the Bible (1967 and 1969), Isaac Asimov describes Jezebel's last act: dressing in all her finery, make-up, and jewelry, as deliberately symbolic, indicating her dignity, royal status, and determination to go out of this life as a queen.
Only a police state can totally stop crime entirely. As the state is more aggressive in prosecuting crimes, it limits human rights more and more.

I have no idea why you would propose Tom Wolfe as an avatar for quality. No-one really knows whose work will continue to connect with generations to come. Tom Wolfe is, in my view, mediocre and a writer whose middle-brow popularity is largely to do with his capturing something about the times he lived in.

Asimov, re-reading him as an adult, is also quite mediocre. He writes space melodramas garnished with some neat ideas. He knew how to popularize scientifically novel ideas. He was genuinely imaginative. But you can't take his sentimental and cliched scenarios seriously.

Philip K Dick on the other hand I think might well be read in 500 years. His work, with its own many defects, often has something profound in it.

As ever these are just views.

TBH it's Chicago Tribune. I bet 99.95% of the articles there aren't interesting for someone in the EU. A good part of them aren't probably interesting even for an USer living outside the Chicago area.
