US here, but I've never been particularly bothered by wasps, at a picnic or otherwise. I suppose it helps that I don't mind them, or mind sharing food with them; they're peaceful until given cause not to be, cleanly in their personal habits, and quite beautiful.

One of my earliest memories is of sitting on the open tailgate of my mom's truck, carefully holding a slice of pizza so as not to disturb the black-and-yellow mud dauber who had landed on it to nibble daintily at the edge of a bit of pepperoni. In the general run of human theory, I gather, such a moment should require all sorts of histrionics, but neither she nor I saw any need for them, and no one else was around to disturb her appetite or my fascination. On reflection, I suppose that moment must have done something to set a tone for my life in terms of my relationship with aculeates.

And it's not as if they eat enough for a human appetite to notice, anyway. They're hell on caterpillars - I've seen a few P. metricus foragers entirely depopulate a thriving fall webworm
nest in the course of a couple of days - but, having never developed a taste of my own for such things, that really doesn't bother me. And I do very much enjoy watching them hunt!

Squirrels, on the other hand, can all go straight to hell.
Here I have to sadly agree, but I think the cause is something else. Lots of new blood full with ideas to leave their mark.
The Linux kernel isn’t that bad. If you really want to kill your instance of Gitlab, try Google Chrome with all its public repos.

Gigabytes per second has been a common metric used to compare column store performance (compressed bitmap indexes), a sweet spot for SIMD. Daniel Lemire is involved with both Roaring Bitmaps [1] and EWAH [2].

It is real-world in terms of exposing I/O bottlenecks, if they exist in the architecture (compared to GPU, for example). I suspect it is the default/natural metric these researchers use rather than an exercise in cherry picking results.

The underlying question is a good one: when does it make sense to adopt a SIMD library for JSON parsing?

A "compelling reason" is not just about language capabilities. It's also about how easy it is to find developers for said language, what quality is the tooling, how stable is it anticipated to be going forward based on its history etc.
>Nowadays I don't wish this trade to my young child. Programming is a very good skill, but it's better tied with something entirely different to not be a blue collar worker in a golden cage. I want to study now something totally outside of technology to see if I can marry it with being a very proficient computer user.

I feel like there is massively untapped potential in this. Pick any industry or vocation and examine it closely. Get a job for a few years...become a member of the community and understand what really would improve their lives and outcomes...then start applying that tech skill. You won't become the next Zuck or Bezos helping zoos use ML to help detect sick animals, for example, but you'll do just fine financially and have a very rewarding career as well.
Same happens to Boeing.

When they have engineers - we get 737, 747 and many more.
when they have MBAs - we get 737-MAX, 787.
The issue isn't with MBA's per se. They can certainly be valuable to a company. The problem is when the MBA's control the direction of the company as opposed to advising it.

I'm sold, and not sold. Having parsed terabytes of JSON, I was impressed by your work. Regexps and other operations are common-place, and if libraries like yours were in broad use, I could definitely see the appeal.

I'm sold on this as a technical pathway to performance.

Problem is, I do it in Python. I have a hard time laying out the breadcrumbs between simdjson and hyperscan, and practical, general-purpose code running more quickly on Intel CPUs. My code will run faster on AMD CPUs in practice even if, in abstract, given a few extra hours of coding, it could run faster on AVX-512. I'd rather wait a few hours for my computer than port my code to simdjson. I think that's true for 99% of the code out there.

Didn't we go down this path with Pentium IV's deep out-of-order pipeline and Itanium's VLIW before? Where Intel had great theoretical performance, but software didn't keep up?

For this to make a dent, Intel would need to hire a teach of engineers so Firefox and Chrome both took advantage of the new instructions. That's perhaps more practical than in the Itanium and PIV era, but that doesn't mean it will happen.
Wow. I didn't knew such a place could really exist. I thought arcologies were never actually implemented.

I am glad to hear Intel is dabbling at TMSC (they have a plan B if not an actual business plan) but it is painful to see Intel talking as if nothing was wrong while congressmen are waking up to the reality that we might not be making chips in the us anymore.

And that's what is scary. Intel is failing left and right but the rap track from Intel sounds like an ad for Disneyland.
Mostly everything multiple people have drawn is recognized as "rain".

- about 10 attempts at drawing some human parts have all been detected as rain

- a large X is detected 64% as rain

- the sun is detected 47% as rain

- the writing "Not Rain" is 95% rain

- a radio is 18% beach and 8% rain

- a light bulb is 31% ear, 9% strawberry and 3% cookie

I assure you that the lightbulb and radio are well drawn.

Why should they, IL2CPP and Burst compilers is able to do C++ like optimizations that .NET is still far from being able to (they have actually two nowadays).

.NET 5 also doesn't run in all platforms that Unity targets.

I think the exact conjunction is a bit tongue-in-cheek. While there are certainly leftist infighting on Twitter, I don't think Catholicism or pine trees has much to do with it. The joke is that ideological names can be like genre names---ridiculously fine-grained but also absurdly concatenated.

Any ideas or platforms for game development for a nine years old kid without any real programming background?

My kid is finishing Blocky Games from Google. I think it was a good start, he isn't hooked into programming but at least he had some fun and learned some concepts, like loops. Now I have no idea on where should I guide him to now. I was thinking about Python Turtle, but he will probably get bored. Will take a look at Game Maker, but looks too much for a kid, good for teenagers perhaps.
It's dishonest because non-black people in those "black neighborhoods" are also paying the "racist" premium. It's not like non-black people are paying 10% less while living on the same block and purchasing the same insurance.

Car insurance varies by how many miles you drive on average, because, shocker, driving more miles means a higher risk of a driving accident. What happens if the data reveal that black people drive more on average and subsequently have to pay more for auto insurance?? Relatedly, is it sexist that men pay more than women for the exact same policy on the exact same car in the exact same zip code? Since men get into more serious accidents, it doesn't appear to be sexist to me..

Univariate analyses like this need to mump off and die.
That flow looks like it goes in one direction; is that really how it is?
Indeed, when entering combined inputs one by one starting with my off-hand my accuracy was higher and I found myself using that technique occasionally during practice, especially when I had made a mistake and needed to repeat an input. However, as my speed increased, eventually I tended to move the sticks simultaneously.
Would that be the Game Maker from 1987, 1991, or 1999?
Keep in mind that, although I partially agree with you, other platforms are way-worse than .NET. think about nodejs mess and client-side ecosystem, where things break almost at any minor release.
Dev world is going fast, and I think that the choice for .NET is to embrace change or die as an old platform.

> AVX2 had downclocking issues when it first appeared too - but these were rapidly mitigated and forgotten.

Speaking of Daniel Lemire, he recently published a paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.05109 mentioning downclocking in section 4:

> On some Intel processors, AVX-512 instructions are subject to downclocking: whenever AVX-512 instructions are executed, the processor lowers its frequency. We do not observe any downclocking on our processor, nor did we find any Intel documentation referencing downclocking for this processor. To test for downclocking, we used the avx-turbo benchmarking tool: it reports the processor frequency after issuing long sequences of expensive instructions of various types,including AVX-512 multiplication and floating-point instructions.
generally it is advised to use ps2 input (like most laptop's integrated keyboard and touchpad).

I bought a gaming pc a few years back with the intention of using it for gaming only, and continuing to use my aging macbook for literally everything else.

The macbook hard drive died and so I decided to try to use the PC as the daily driver.

There are many reasons for it, but it boils down to the fact that I enjoy using macOS and I don't enjoy using Windows.

If I'm not enjoying using a piece of tech, it's not worth the investment - regardless of price.

Yes, Macs are expensive, but I don't mind paying more money to get an experience I actually enjoy. That to me is value, and why mac / pc benchmarks and price / performance comparisons are irrelevant to me as a person.

> Ng collected all the tweets, retweets and replies posted on most of those accounts over two months in early 2018, using Twitter’s application-programming interface. She winnowed those further to only those sent between or referencing other Beltway journalists. The final data set consisted of 133,529 Twitter posts from 2,015 journalists, about one-third of all credentialed congressional correspondents.

Couple things stood out here:

- they are looking only at tweets/comments, not the people being followed

- they have filtered the dataset to include only journalists, so you wouldn't see any engagement they have with people outside their profession

- What they have found isn't so much "bubbles" but rather "hubs"

- there's no comparison to similar data on other professions. I would expect that almost all professional networking falls into hubs that are either based on exclusivity (eg, FANG employees, ivy league alumni) or professional niche (eg, television producers, startup founders). Are these journalists really exhibiting insular behavior, or is it perfectly aligned with every other segment of society? We really can't tell without any basis for comparison

>It always amazes me that normal people like journalists still use such a strange website.

Well a lot of it is because it makes content production so damn easy. Take a real example which reached the BBC front page a while back [1].

The entire story is :

1. A Korean actress was cast for some role in something Harry Potter related.

2. Some people on Twitter were unhappy about this

3. JK Rowling defended the casting (also on Twitter).

4. Then there's some mention of some other story about Dumbledore not being shown as gay.

5. A couple of still photos + a clip from a movie

[1] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45666350

OK, this is entertainment "news" so it's a pretty low bar but the reason this stuck in my mind was what a non-story this
all was - even by the standards of the subject matter. There's not even an attempt to gauge whether these complaints represented a decent chunk (or the majority) of the Harry Potter fanbase - it's just a quote from a couple of random people annoyed about it. Imagine if national broadcasters could get away with quoting random people they overheard in the pub and this would constitute a story.

Of course, the thing giving the story some legitimacy is that Rowling has responded to this alleged controversy. And that's the other main reason (which is kind of reinforcing) - enough companies/famous people use Twitter as their method of communicating with the public (and by extension the press) that the press continue to use it.

What do we need topology for? Is it for GR? And same for abstract algebra? is this about the symmetries in high-energy physics?

I agree with you in general that one needs to learn serious math to advance in physics, but it's always exciting to see university-level physics simplified for the high school audience. Matrix QM is uniquely good candidate since it only requires knowledge of linear algebra (see for example Figure 6, at the bottom of page 4 here https://minireference.com/static/tutorials/conceptmap.pdf#pa... ).
The showstopper with Judy arrays, for me, was that they require a lot of hairy fine control over memory layout to implement (it's been years since i looked at this, so please excuse the lack of detail).
