I for one would love to know more about this sequencer! I have a PiSound and am wondering if I can make a sequencer myself-- I'm inspired by Berndard Sumner--he made one (New Order).

There is an idea floating around in my head of being able to describe rhythm patterns with just a few characters...and then branch them and control transitions between the branches, with some controller...arrows? Joystick?
The problem with OpenCL, just like OpenGL, is that it relies on vendor support for essentially the full stack. That means if a single vendor doesn't support the feature, it's basically impossible to ship any code that uses that feature to arbitrary users. Nvidia lagging behind in its support for OpenCL 2.x was probably not explicitly stated as "let's sabotage this competing open standard by dragging our feet" but that was the result. AMD and Intel both put together OpenCL 2.x support, so clearly Nvidia could have finished their incomplete support but didn't.

The fundamental failing Khronos made was repeating the GLSL mistake and not specifying a compiled IR that would decouple OpenCL kernel code from program execution. This was clearly known to be a mistake at the time, given ample evidence from CUDA and HLSL that an IR was possible and could greatly improve the developer experience.
If that comment is generated, I will quit my current job and work full time on AI. I don't believe it.
Would you even recommend it for smaller teams or one man teams in my case...?
That's not the "top liked review", throwaway. It only got two stars. It's at the top of the list because it is the most recent. He's just complaining about Whitaker's sarcastic style. In fact, that reviewer goes on to say "So much of this book, though, is true that it boggles my mind how easily Mr. Whitaker could have toned down his sarcasm".
This is actually more likely the other way around. The perfections submitted, along with ranking for each class, were compiled and submitted for the purpose of awarding grades. They were always known to be a replacement for the exams.

Mocks on the other hand are graded with a view to provide the desired psychological effect (i.e. either as a boost or a kick up the rear). So mock results may well be less fair. This is coming from my partner who is a secondary school teacher.
> To get good performance, don't WebAssembly implementations need to use JIT-compilation internally?

No. JITs are great when you're executing code which is very dynamic in nature (either because of dynamic types, or because you're using a lot of interfaces) because the JIT can make use of speculative optimizations based on runtime information.

WASM, however, doesn't really support the notion of compound types and the few types that are supported (int32, int64, float32 and float64) is required to be specified up front. WASM doesn't really have the notion of of ad-hoc polymorphism either. In other words, there's very little for a JIT to speculate about, and so there aren't much insight a JIT can get from having runtime information available. This might change as newer features are added to WASM in the future.
Do you have a source for this? Not nitpicking, i actually need it for a project...
The "don't be evil" was always widely misunderstood.
Reducing the light temperature is not enough. After 8 pm I turn off all harsh lights in my home and avoid things which excite me. Evenings I often tell my wife to postpone lively debates to the next day.

All this makes my body ready for sleep and at 10 pm I feel relieved to close my eyes and dozing off. I have accepted that I seem to need more sleep than others. Usually after 8 to 9 hours of sleep I wake up on my own.
That doesn't change the fact that the currency has remained stable for consumers.
Could you give an example of when it doesn't do what you ask? In my experience it always only makes it more specific when it's vague in the first place and never overrides what specificity you gave.

For example if I write `range`, it's extremely vague but one of the first results I get is Python. If I write range JavaScript obviously that'll be first.

Yet if Trump copied Ms. Ardern's lead and postponed our national election in Nov, I'm sure you'd tell me why it was an outrageous and illegal maneuver.

This conversation serves no purpose.
Where do you check for such things?
Oh cool, got it. Did not expect that but it's something else than a device mockup! If you're handy with HTML and CSS you could probably replace the code window with your own image (in the devtools inspector) and it should work.
> It's almost as if they need to be seen to be taking some responses to the media payment legislation but they don't really care

They care. I'm currently situated in Australia and did a random google search and a giant popup jumped up saying "The way Aussies use Google is at risk". No way they are doing that on their main search page if they do not care.
I honestly don't mind this at all.

SF was a desirable place to live before all the techies (such as myself) crowded in, and it will continue to be after many leave. I'm sticking around; I love this city for reasons that can't be destroyed by a virus, despite all its problems.

And it's not like other cities are doing great; at least in the US, all cities are being damaged by covid-19 to varying degrees. Why would I move to NYC or Chicago or Boston or Seattle or wherever else? They all have similar covid-related problems, and they're unfamiliar places where I'd have no or a minimal support network. I'm not a suburb/rural guy (grew up that way, not going back), so I don't feel the pull to move out of a city entirely.

SF still has the same underlying problems it had before covid-19, and some of them have worsened in recent months. It's going to be a difficult few years getting out of this and figuring out what the next chapter will be, but this is home for me. For the people who are leaving (who are only here because they have to be for their job), that's fine; I'd rather be left with people who actually care about this place enough to stick with it.
For a synopsis, see wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_an_Epidemic

"Whitaker begins by reviewing the discovery of antipsychotics, benzodiazepines and antidepressants. These were discovered as side effects during research for antihistamines (specifically promethazine), gram negative antibiotics (specifically mephenesin) and the anti-tuberculosis agents isoniazid and iproniazid respectively. The psychiatric mechanisms of action of these drugs were not known at the time..."

He goes on to show, by citing studies, that the drugs were not efficacious in treating depression - quite the opposite. The mechanisms cause disease and chronic dependencies. But the drugs earn billions for big pharma, who covered up the studies and spent millions on spin and obfuscation. The story is akin to the corporate tobacco experience.
The quotation has a double negative.
This may sound like a technicality, but what I said was that this is the Government that the Australian people want. Reason being that they voted it in … again. It's not as if the current government have changed their stripes since the election before last.

Australians have become, in my view (happy to be proven wrong), very conservative because of the fact we've had it so good for so long, and therefore are a bit weak / soft and will cling to whatever excuse is presented by politicians that will appear to keep the good times rolling a bit longer, no matter how illogical the premise or how much it sacrifices a future just too far away to be scary yet.

Climate change and broadband as two divisive examples. They cost too much. Standing athwart history yelling Stop!

I think it could be the other way around, where people expecting news online and free has meant declining revenues, click-bait and ad-infested news articles.

This won't make San Francisco a shell, it could even make it a nicer place to be.
Example: Hillary Ronin is the supervisor for the mission. An area that was historically lower income minorities, now being displaced, in part due to a lack of housing units. She has fought for years to stop the construction of buildings that would add both affordable units and market rate units.

"Ronen fought to prevent the construction of a 75-unit building on the site of a laundromat. She argued that an environmental review of the building did not consider the impact of a shadow on a nearby schoolyard, even though an environmental review conducted by officials at the San Francisco Planning Department showed that the new construction, including its shadow, would not have an adverse impact on children at the schoolyard.]"

The city's budget increased by nearly $6bn during the time the tax breaks were active (largely fueled by the growth from tech boom).
Not possible to sit exams for everyone. A limited staged / “bubbled” approach in July/August could have worked fine. But it would require actual coordination and precision, and that’s not the sort of thing a Tory government of “big thinkers” can deliver.
What are the killswitches acting on ? Are they acting only on the dedicated "enable" or "poweroff" inputs of various chips ? Are they cutting the power supply of the chips ? Are they cutting both the power and logic busses, thus isolating the target chips (at least electrically) ?

If you want to play around with Spinning Up in a Docker container, then make sure you git clone the repository, then pip install -e repository. For whatever reason, if you try to directly install it with pip, it doesn't work, at least last time I tried it.

I think you're sidestepping the issue a bit. The hard problem of consciousness doesn't say that consciousness has to be better as a value judgment, just that it... is. Saying that it's an emergent property of physics doesn't address the problem. Sure, any old combination of atoms can randomly become conscious if they get lucky, but what does that mean?

And it is a hard problem: how do you even define subjective consciousness non-circularly? "Consciousness is the state of feeling like something" - okay, but what is it that's doing the feeling?
Well, there's the issue of "can you really protect the data?" and then there's "who would you most trust to protect it?". Maybe you can make the case for Google in the second scenario, but if course you can't *really^ protect the data.

So, then it becomes, "what can be done to reduce the amount of data collected and the risk it isn't protected?"

That's where this law appears to be a step backwards.
> They make offers expecting that the vast majority of them will be met, rather than over-offering and expecting A-level results to prune the numbers significantly.

Notable exception to this would be Cambridge maths, who over-offer significantly for Mathematics (last year: 541 offers, 253 acceptances). Quite a lot of people miss their STEP offer so colleges can choose on results day who to take based on STEP, UMS, interview, etc. Though STEP unlike A-Levels was sat this year, so they're still able to do that selection.
LLVM bitcode is, I believe, not portable. Neither is Assembly. Nor are the resulting binaries of that processed something that is run within a sandbox.
Seeing how the vast majority of adults does in fact speak two languages and a huge chunk of them even more (e.g. most of Africa) I'd say your initial premise (adults struggle to learn anything past one) is misguided.

Open comment from an Australian to google:

This comment stands apart from any and all implications of their special interest policy pleadings above which are all pretty tedious in comparison.

Google don't pay tax for profit made selling in Australia. To hell with them and literally any case they have to make.
For any given political view espoused by members of a major political party, if you think "none of us" want it, you need to get out of your bubble.

There's a lot of voters out there who are quite okay with the government doing what they think needs to be done to ensure national security.

Emphasise speaking.

We tend to focus on reading, oral understanding & writing. Those fit easily into "sit down and study for 45m" format. Speaking doesn't, and can feel uncomfortable or contrived in classroom settings. One of the big reasons "immersion" often leads to fast breakthroughs is because it comes with a lot of natural speaking. That's often the bottleneck.

You don't stop and think of the correct grammar, words or whatnot when speaking. You just try to make yourself understood as best as you can, with whatever language skills you have. Even 200 words is something. Engaging that intuitive improvisation can be really helpful.

I think you're going to find it a very hard sell to convince me that I don't experience qualia. I don't know what it's like to feel pain? I don't experience sight, or sound, or abstract thoughts and beliefs, as subjective experiences?

The problem with qualia, subjective consciousness, and all their near-synonyms is that they're almost impossible to define non-self-referentially. That doesn't mean they don't exist, though - and all human experience is indication that they do.
>Because then people would game it.

You can do search. You can provide content. Doing both became rent seeking. And damn does google do rent-seeking very effectively.

We can find plenty of fuzzier abstractions. Does "machine learning" exist? Does "NoSQL"? Does "scrum"? (That one can't even be used to describe an integer, and it certainly doesn't describe a physical object.)

I'd claim that if two people agree about measurable facts and disagree about whether something is conscious, they do in fact disagree on the definition of consciousness, just as if they disagreed on whether something counted as NoSQL or scrum. (Though it's been a while since I paid attention to this area of philosophy, so I might just be wrong here - is there an example of two people claiming to agree on the definition of consciousness but reaching different conclusions?)

Honestly maybe this was the brilliance of the article. We don't even need to agree on the definition of "breakfast" to conclude that it's a useful and meaningful term. Nobody would claim breakfast doesn't exist on the mere grounds that it's made up. Of course it's made up, it's an abstraction.
I imagine Google would rather continue to serve up those search results if possible. And if they did omit the search results their argument that they treat content fairly falls apart.
I reacted to your quote:

I think if children took exams this year we'd find an even bigger divide between rich and poor. Private schools did vastly more teaching over lockdown than state schools [1]. It wouldn't be a good look given that the government is under a lot of pressure because private schools did better under their algorithm.

Kids can watch cartoons all day, they talk with other native speakers all day without worrying they'll make a mistake and just talking about stuff, etc (Also they're usually at school)

Adults are judged more and have less time to learn, even passive learning (listening intently, etc). They also are understandably more focused on work.

I've learned other languages when adult and it was more a matter of time than "not being able to". Sure, it is harder and I'm not going to deny brain plasticity, but I learned more when I was less able to depend on English.
Apple has an architecture license from ARM, which allows them to design their own cores yes, but also includes all the benefits of all the lower tiers including rights to all the ARM designs.

This would have to be the case, because Apple still uses many of their earlier ARM designs in products, which we know used ARM designed cores and would definitely require core design licenses.

It took me a while to find that this targets linux boards (Raspberry Pi, Beaglebones), not the smaller embedded platforms that are often used in IoT. It may be more suited for industrial projects rather than consumer ones. Interesting nonetheless.
It is a semantic dispute, but in this case, it's an interesting one. The words in question are "I" and "feel". You even used the word:

>many of us feel a desire

Can you restate that clause without using any synonym for experience, subjectivity, consciousness, etc.? I posit that you can't, and the fact that you can't explain the most basic fact of existence except recursively is itself interesting.

Interesting, thanks for sharing those articles. redshift lets you adjust brightness in addition or instead of color temperature (there is a Windows version but it is command line only, doesn't look like it supports macs and does not work with Wayland). Someone mentioned brightness a while back and I've been adjusting both since then but I'll try just adjusting brightness and see how it works. If nothing else, it is possible that warm color temperatures might end up being similar to the issue with flashlights where full spectrum lets you use a lower brightness than red light (of course, with flashlights there is also the issue that many "red" flashlights, even some that advertise as being night vision preserving, aren't in the right range to actually preserve night vision). It does seem like I could lower the brightness a bit more without the warmer color temperature.

Nonsense. There has always been a divide in the UK between public schools that try and predict grades accurately and private schools that game the system to maximise their students' chances of acceptance.

I don't think teachers, or anyone else, can reliably predict results. I got the equivalent of an A* in most of my of my AS exams, but because I had bad GCSEs my results were ranked down for my predicted grades to AAB. Only after complaining did they change them to AAA. In the event I got two A*'s and an A - a whole grade above all of my original predictions.

The entire system is asinine because there's no reliable way of predicting future results from past performance, because of the unfair discretion it gives teachers and schools, and because it demotivates students to achieve above their prediction (because they cannot be accepted by any course above that prediction). It should have been abolished long ago.
I'm going to join in as shifting your sleep pattern by 3 hours a night, if I've read it right, sounds (without meaning to be at all rude) a bit crazy.

Yeah, this is pretty much my experience with people who loudly claim they dont need to sleep much.

There is imo bias in play tho, the loud "I sleep little" people do so because they picked up that working or playing till night is cool thing to do. Which has little to do with their actual sleep needs. And the bragging has a bit to do with diminished self control due to sleep deprivation.

Meanwhile, people who actually need to sleep less, would just ... sleep less without talking about it or even realizing it, so you will never know.
