> as remote from one another as Postgres procedures and custom Lisps must be in every other respect.

Just a fun fact: Parts of postgres (before the SQL days, I think) used to be in lisp. To this day we still have some weird function/macro names stemming from those (e.g. lcons).

* Once upon a time, parts of Postgres were written in Lisp and used real
* cons-cell lists for major data structures. When that code was rewritten
* in C, we initially had a faithful emulation of cons-cell lists, which
* unsurprisingly was a performance bottleneck. A couple of major rewrites
* later, these data structures are actually simple expansible arrays;
* but the "List" name and a lot of the notation survives.
I use tiddlywiki's node server and markdown plugin (behind a yubikey auth setup with nginx). It means that the data is stored in markdown files in a folder (with accompanying blah.md.meta files tiddlywiki maintains) but I can still edit easily from my phone, multiple computers, etc. there's a command to load files in (get the meta files and index in place), so I was thinking about using inotify to monitor a folder to be able to slurp in files from there, but I've been happy just editing through the browser and sometimes grabbing the .md files for use elsewhere.

again, the killer thing for me is the portability. vim in a terminal is only nice when I have a keyboard; if I want to keep track of a movie a friend's recommending when I have my phone, being able to pull it up is great.

also, plugins are key. org-roam has this for org-mode, but I haven't seen anything for vim that's as smooth as the backlinks setup I have in tiddlywiki, which is something like https://giffmex.org/gifts/tiddlyblinkexample.html

One idea mentioned in the article that I've seen elsewhere is this:

"The gist, then, is that someone is “himself” because countless mental artifacts stay firm from one day to the next, anchoring that person's character over time."

I have read reports that latent schizophrenia is often revealed when people travel abroad. Maybe if your environment and surroundings change drastically, your mind loses its sense of "self" that was based around anchors to the rest of the environment.

This journal article touches on this:

"Long distance travel has long been known to aggravate pre-existing psychosis.... Travel can be a destabilizing life event7 with many potential hazards to mental health, from the effects of drugs used for prophylaxis against infection, to homesickness, to disrupted circadian rhythms, to culture shock."

I believe reverse engineering the silicon still takes serious amount of money. But is it really required? Reimplementing the chips from scratch with FPGAs is a much more practical option, since everything is already pretty much documented by the simulator community.

The diamond princess' fatality rate was less than 1% - lower than the 1-3% used to drive early projections. Not to mention the fact that the cruise liner is disproportionately older, and the whole vessel recirculates its ventilation. This was, quite possibly, the worst population and location to have an outbreak and yet the death rates there were lower than the figure used for country-wide projections.

Effectively every reputable source is observing that the early death rate projections were substantially inflated. China's reported death rate is 0.5% - and they're the ones with the most experience with the virus. Germany only recent started random testing. They previously had a fatality rate of 2%, but after random testing they found that 14% of the population already had antibodies - thus lower the death rate down to 0.37% [1]. There's a vast difference between asking "out of the people who got sick enough to go to the hospital, what portion people infected with coronavirus died?" and "what portion of people infected with coronavirus died".

I'm working on this[1], my theory is the lack of a good IDE (rather than simple crowdsourcing interface) is the reason why it hasn't been done.

These projections were based on fatality rates well above what is actually being observed by countries conducting random testing. We're talking about an order of magnitude off.

That does not answer what differentiates your solution. I work on steaming systems. I am aware of the spectrum of online, latency aware data processing. But what I can tell from your solution is that the changes are coming from the database itself. Since, as I understand it, the database is the still the source of all data, I don’t see why your solution is any faster than continuous queries in a database.

Cruising is kind of fun. I've traveled every way, from backpacks and youth hostels to four star hotels - they each have their merits. No, if you take a cruise and stop in Maine, it won't be the same as staying there for a week with friends (I've done both), but if you haven't done it don't mock it. If you just want a day to look a city over (or maybe take a hike in a national park) but don't want to shlep in and out, cruising is a fun way to go.

One great thing about cruising is this (same is true of resorts in general), if you have a large, diverse family, you can all get together for meals or activities on some days, but go off and get away from each other on different days - so you don't all drive each other crazy. Also, when you get older, it makes traveling a lot easier.

> Does this new intel CPU have 'fixes' for all issues like spectre and meltdown

It's worth noting that Spectre-V1 is likely to be with us for many many years. CPUs have so far only shown interest in addressing spectre when spectre is crossing process or ring boundaries. In-process spectre leaks (so variant 1, Bounds Check Bypass) are currently not really being considered a problem in the CPU's eyes. No privilege boundaries were crossed, therefore not a bug.

As in, secure in-process sandboxing seems to just be dead. Or left as an exercise for the embedding code to figure out how to in some way handle with no CPU support.
Hmm I need some schooling please:

"The TDP for the latter part is 35 W while the i9-10900F is listed at 65 W, but being an Intel desktop processor that just reflects the TDP for the base clock, with much higher energy demands required for higher clocks (e.g. maximum PL1 has been recorded at 170 W)."

So where do I find the actual maximum power consumption on recent desktop CPUs then? Do I set a limit in the BIOS? Do I read each and every review to see what they measured?

Pointers to relevant links very much appreciated, thankee sai.

> What is your definition of "portable"?

In that particular statement at the beginning of my preceding comment, I meant portability across compiler implementations.

> Eliminating an argument from a function by hiding it in a data structure is not that compelling to me since I can just do that on my own.

I meant to refer more to the idea that, when doing it on your own in a particular way, the compiler could support applying a (set of) constraint(s) to prevent overflows (as an example), such that any constraint couldn't be bypassed except by very obviously intentional means. Just automating the creation of the very, very simply constructed "plus a numeric field" struct seems obviously not worth including as a new feature of the standardized language.

> the fact that length+pointer is such a common construct indicates that most people don't have any issues with it

I think you're measuring the wrong kind of problem. Even C programmers with a high level of expertise may have problems with this approach, because it's when programmer error causes a problem not caught by code review or the compiler via buffer overflows (for instance) that we see a need for more.

Most of the initial innovations seem to be in the hardware, e.g. controllers that hop over your PC/console, game servers in edge nodes, etc. They're incremental improvements, but my latency on Stadia gets down to single-digits at times (though is usually low-mid double-digits), which is something I never saw with OnLive (not a direct comparison since I have better Internet now).

There's some interesting software innovations that may or may not be implemented (I'm not sure?), but I haven't heard of other streaming platforms doing things like running games at significantly higher framerates (to minimize the time between player input and game response) and predicting button presses to buffer a stream before they happen. Those seem like innovations in the space, even if they're under a terrible umbrella of a name ("negative latency").
That you simply ignore the fact that C++ projects generally do prefer to not build from any "framework".

Framework in JS, is just similar to a more abstracted library in C++.

Cost of something isn’t just the parts, you forgot all the R&D, labor, and premium. iPhone 11 and 11 Pro differ by $300 and the better camera is one of the two (?) major selling points; not to mention the iPhone 11 has a pretty good camera too.
You can choose between per hour and per month pricing. The per hour pricing only runs when you're using the machine (only the cost of storage when it's off) and the per month pricing is a flat rate. They should offer a calculator for estimated usage costs.

One major use of the public datasets in the academic community is to serve as a common reference when comparing new techniques against the existing standard. A static baseline is desirable for this task.

The datasets serve as benchmarks. You get an idea for a new model that solves a problem current models have. These ideas don't pan out, so you need empirical evidence that it works. To show that your model does better than previous models, you need some task that your model and previous models can share for both training and evaluation. It's more complicated than that, but that's the gist.

It would be so wasteful to have to retrain a dozen models that require a month of GPU time each on to serve as baselines for your new model...
