The criticisms of the code from Imperial College are strange to me. Non-deterministic code is the least of your problems when it comes to modeling the spread of a brand new disease. Whatever error is introduced by race conditions or multiple seeds is completely dwarfed by the error in the input parameters. Like, it's hard to overstate how irrelevant that is to the practical conclusions drawn from the results.

Skeptics could have a field day tearing apart the estimates for the large number of input parameters to models like that, but they choose not to? I don't get it.
And they buy them in servers from OEMs who volume buy even bigger number of chip than any of them individually. Only this way such volume discounts were realised.

If they were buying directly, Intel would have even more leverage to milk them, than if they stood behind the back of some beefy OEM.

It’s an interesting thought experiment. We would expect to see an increased market for financial hedging close to the limit. It would be worth paying a great deal of money to ensure that almost a billion remained available without endangering either cash or highly valued company ownership. Imagine spending $40 billion over your life to guarantee always having almost a billion. The financial industry would grow enormously.

There would be other second order effects preventing the law from functioning well, and preventing successful people from becoming trapped in such a capricious state, but I’m seeing those aside.

This is a dangerous point of view to take.

"evolution" means "adaptation". It does not mean "progress".

A doctor of the 18th century would bleed their patients to balance humours, but would, at least, not shove an icepick into their frontal lobe as a form of exorcism. A doctor of the early 20th century wouldn't do the former, but might well do the latter.

Which is not to say that progress doesn't exist, only that it's a fraught concept, with many caveats, regressions, and no firm ground to judge its status at any given point. You will have a more productive engagement with history, and with the ancients, if you consider them as your equals, just situated differently in time and place.

> the rest of the arm ecosystem is forced to move to risc-v?

In addition to selling hardware, it seems like ARM-owning Nvidia would probably be happy to sell whatever amazing new ARM cores they cook up to whoever is willing to pay to use the design. It's not obvious RISC-V will benefit from any of this. Somebody, somewhere would need to create equally amazing RISC-V cores and find a way to sell them.
> Even if you can use AssetBundles, there's no reason you ever should because they've been superseded.

You might have to use a superseded feature because you're maintaining old code. If Unity cares about backwards compatibility (admittedly, I'm not convinced they do), they need to keep supporting and documenting the old features even as they nudge you away from them.

I think there was a lot of potential to be made in the service/support aspect of containerization of applications - configuring appropriate dependencies etc. Now probably not so much - most people have probably painstakingly learnt the knowledge by now. Maybe even some kind of container marketplace.

TWRL: Share your looks and chat with friends
TWRL is a free app to message your friends and send outfits and pictures to them. You can send up to 10 pictures and create a group chat with any of your contacts. They can comment and draw on your pictures to provide feedback. It's like merging Instagram and Texting into one platform. It's easy to use and designed to make it simple to share pictures and give feedback.
You are moving the goalposts. For most apps e.g. Netflix we are talking about the core revenue stream not some cheap DLC.

In which case no distribution channel today, Apple or otherwise, allows you to use your product to advertise to buy the product cheaper elsewhere.

And using the term censorship is ridiculous. It's simply the rules of using the channel. And every channel has their own unique rules.

The IPO market was already being prepped but got delayed due to COVID. Since then much of tech stocks not only rebound but are at all time highs. Wall st is seething wanting to buy more stocks that they know can pop and those that have popped are arguably overvalued. (see Zoom)
That's a really interesting thought. It makes a lot of sense.

Here's another one I've had that I'll throw on the pile: video games are generally highly demanding of the CPU. They'll use every cycle they can get their hands on. Web apps, on the other hand, have a ton of downtime and generally don't need to hit 60FPS (with rare exceptions). This means that they can spend their extra cycles on better abstraction layers, like React and Redux. Using React to render a bunch of game entities would make no sense because just running the reconciliation step can take 16ms, which is your entire rendering budget.

> Developers are not required to participate in that program to sell games/software for the xBox, and some don't

They may not be required to take part in the standard distribution licensing program, but instead have the option of participating in ID@XBOX, where the games still have to be certified by MS to be allowed on the platform. This program also seems to be exclusive to digital distribution and smaller indie studios.

In the end MS is still always in a position to take revenue cuts for access to their platform, and mostly exercises it.

I don't know what laypeople you're talking to, but when I hear "biotech" I think of drugs and things like CRISPR. Things where it's not the academic influence that slows things down, but the regulatory environment and the general need to have all your ducks in a row w.r.t. safety and efficacy. "Move fast and break things" doesn't cut it for things people put into their bodies.
In some simulations, each rerun produces different results as you’re simulating random events (like lightning formation) or using a non-deterministic algorithm (like Monte Carlo sampling). Just “saving the random seed” might not be sufficient to make it deterministic either, as if you do parallelized or concurrent actions in your code (common in scientific code) the same pseudorandom numbers may be used in different orders each time you run it.

But repeating the simulation a large number of times, with different random seeds, should produce statistically similar output if the code is rigorous. So even if each simulation is not reproducible, as long as the statistical distribution of outputs is reproducible, that should be sufficient.
At the dayjob we switched from Scalyr to Sumo Logic, primarily to meet requirements imposed by infosec.

You can't resell anything bought through Google Play. You can't resell digitally purchased Switch games. You can't resell anything bought through, I'd wager, the majority of current digital market places.

Properti AI – Social Media on Autopilot for Real Estate
From what I've seen Tesla doesn't use Linux for the critical parts (i.e. everything directly to the CAN bus). The gateway between the vehicle part and the rest is using FreeRTOS.

The rest is indeed Linux. I think it is a customized Ubuntu. The "rest" includes the autopilot...
the native way of doing this on iOS would be `SCNetworkReachability` which is part of the built-in SystemConfiguration framework. That call requires the endpoint to check as an input - thus prompting the developer to think about if they are contacting an unnecessary third party.

So while this isn't really the specific fault of react native, it does seem to me to be the fault of a non-native framework that encourages developers to use higher level abstractions rather than system frameworks.
University also taught me that some people are genuinely better than me. I'm a much happier person since I learned to let it be so.
> The general lack of multi core use on the sim is definitely quite disappointing though for a 2020 release that's doing lots of general calculations and other tasks that benefit from threading.

Ugh, yeah as a VR flight sim enthusiast this is just sad. Essentially every semi-realistic flight sim on the market is main-thread bound even on high-end on modern CPUs. I was really, really hoping that MSFS2020 would finally be the modern engine sim we've been waiting for so smooth VR flight could be enjoyed.
Usually it's not the kernel that crashes, but the desktop environment or some other user-space software.

I disagree. I used to know plenty of people who only played FPS. Also people who only played 1 or 2 different FPS. Are these people not gamers? Saying that you need to play X games or games in X number of genres is not something I agree with it

I think people crave rules, even if there's no evidence the rules are useful.

True. Android isn't such an OS though. As proven by the fact that so many vendors use it to power their hardware - including existing car manufacturers and other hardware builders.
For me (who succumbed to some alcohol and amphetamine abuse to keep working), it took 3 years, and I still get anxiety when I code. But, I also have a history of trauma, so YMMV.
Reviewing the original comment, I think so (that the original comment is overcritical). For purpose of reproducibility, it's enough that you can validate that you can run the model with different random data and see that their results aren't due to pathological choices of initial conditions. If the race conditions and non-determinism just transform the random data into another set of valid random data, that doesn't compromise reproducibility.

the family operated kitchen on Main St. has rent, fire codes, safety equipment needs, some form of sanitation code/inspection to pass with the city.

Uber Chef ignores all of that and bypasses all overhead - you don't need a restaurant or even the physical location of a building to employ chefs to cook food. No need for health inspections or expensive fire suppression equipment. (you use people who want to rent their home kitchens out for cooking)

That's Uber's raison-d'etre - to bypass all legal restrictions and externalize all overhead in the way of getting the items to you.

This isn't a joke, this is what Uber did with their taxi service at the beginning as MVP so why not do it to food services as well?
Touche on the fans, but that is very arguable as those actions are taken by the arenas. Considering that Morey is Rockets GM to this day, he is definitely not banned. Wojnarowski was suspended by ESPN for a brief period, and for reasons only tangentially related to China.

> You'll find no shortage of criticism of the US government from foreign companies and their workers in private capacity.

Aren't we talking about a public capacity?

I don't think it's fair to say there is no chilling effect in the US currently. I'd expect some severe US backlash if some foreign company was very publicly opinionated about gun control. There is an implicit understanding that certain topics are taboo. Does it really matter whether this effect arises from the local population or the local government?

edit: I don't even agree with the people/government distinction in this case. The Chinese people largely support their government's stance against HK.
Sure, but if that's the case, you should really be pushing new developers away from using the old thing and towards the new thing. Mark it obsolete in the editor. Update your docstrings to point towards the new thing. Maybe even give me a warning in my console if it's really serious.
