Don't GPUs optimize gathers within the same cache line to effectively be a single fetch from memory and then shuffle? I would assume that's the purpose of VPGATHERDD: not so much for a vector of addresses like (0x1000, 0x2000, 0x3000, 0x4000), where there's no alternative other than to issue 4 loads, but rather for a vector of nearby addresses like (0x2010, 0x2004, 0x2008, 0x2000), where the CPU can coalesce the fetches into one (like PSHUFD with a memory operand does). Gather instructions are especially good when your addresses are usually in the same cache line, but don't have to be—stuff like mipmapped texture lookups in fragment shaders.
The back button lost very useful function: if you held it down, it would show the history for the current tab, allowing you to skip forward or backward in history. It saved time (and data) getting to the page you wanted to be on, and was indispensable for getting past redirect pages.

Now, there's a forward button in the menu, which can only go one step forward at a time, the back button, which now only goes one step back at a time, and the browser history, which includes all tabs, not just the one you are currently on.

I don't have kids, but my coworkers do and the ensuing aftermath was not pretty.

Looking at the first plan on the list, Auburn: https://www.uhcsr.com/uhcsrbrochures/Public/BenefitSummaryFl...

On first blush, this looks like phenomenally good coverage for the cost. $1970 for the year. $7150 out of pocket maximum. 80% coinsurance after a $250(!) deductible.

The ACA limited how much cost discrimination insurance companies can do by age, and I am wondering if college plans are a workaround - it's not age descrimination, per-say. But the risk associated with students is much, much lower than on the marketplaces.
This is one of the unfortunately reality of advances in technology specially AI. It started with games like Chess and Go, wait and watch as AI will eat into other creative human endeavors - both logical like accounting, programming and creative like art, music etc. How humans will deal with watching AI get better and better than us in many areas will be interesting to see.
I used to think this way, going with the cheapest method possible but I now try to buy directly from the publisher or local stores. Not only does it hurt the publisher buying from Amazon, it also diverts the funds to produce the next book. Some of my books have been extremely expensive but these are pennies to the value I find in them and how it improves my career.
It is close to evolutionarily impossible to do a wheel and axle biologically. If the whole animal rolls, sure, but not a full wheel and axle (macroscopically). That is probably the main reason we see zero macroscopic animals with that configuration.

At one point I was buying $100 couches, but there's a good chance my next one will be in the $1500 range. I think Ikea has a solid strategy of selling nice looking but disposable furniture to young people (lots of college students)... and they've got a wide enough quality range to keep those people around as their tastes/incomes mature... and if your tastes/income stays the same... they've still got that cheap stuff for you.
It's quite disputable that google even has the right to a platform of anywhere near their current power and influence (waiting for antitrust law to be enforced) and the distinction in any case seems quite artificial when google buys politicians and receives significant public funding and such.

It's not driving it. It's controlling the entertainment system, which includes things like AC/heater, charging or not (you have to be plugged in), closing or cracking the sunroof, looking at the state of charge. You can also unlock the doors. You have to get an otp token based on your name and password. People reverse engineered the tesla api from looking at what the app does. There are two concerns I have with the tesla system.

1. They only allow for tokens that take a very long time to expire, it's something like 3 months.

2. Although a few of these apps allow you to get the token on your own and send it to them (thus not exposing your password), that's too technically demanding for most users and so most of the apps have you get a token by giving your email/password, thus you expose it to them.

For those that don't know, Tesla pays people for security vulnerabilities, welcomes hacker attempts, they disclose things after they fix them, there's a list of the things and people who found them at their website, etc. There is a separate computer system for the drive train that is not accessible through this system.

And people buying into the characteristics and tropes with shocking willingness
This type of stuff happens all the time. I’m actually receiving all kinds of internal information from a large insurance company from India, supposedly because one of their employees is registered with a typo in the domain name, which is my domain.

I can’t for the love of god make clear to these people that there must be a dozen laws this violates. I see insurance application, invoices, disputes, everything on at least a weekly basis.

I have no idea what my legal position in this is. I tried reaching out to the senders, but I am afraid of reaching out to the C-levels directly because who knows how they respond.

Bottom line, people make typos all the time, and it’s not just dots that cause this. People are just terrible at email and email is terrible for sensitive documents.
I don't think it's there any more, but many versions ago three.js included a CSS renderer. It was very useful for making things line up on 3d elements of webpages.
I used to have a dot in my gmail address then I started receiving messages to my address without the dot. The messages were from people I didn't know to people I didn't know. I thought there was something wrong and I was receiving other peoples messages.

And this is where it gets weird... I was.

Just not because of the dot. My gmail handle is pretty short, 6 chars. First name last initial, pretty cool. I got it during the early in the first beta year, (gmail was beta for like 10 years.) However 10 years later I'm now receiving emails in german, parking tickets from cities I've never been, paid subscriptions, access to gmail and facebook accounts because people set my gmail handle as their recovery address. I can even unlock a guys car from the manufacturers web UI whom I've never met. The best/worst by far is the time the FBI reached out to me, which I thought was some bad phishing attempt and replied mildly taunting them. However, it was in fact a real FBI agent who wrote back noticeably annoyed at my flippant response. There was a vailed threat that if I don't take this seriously things would happen. A lump formed in my throat. I called them and for 5 minutes it was kind of scary. I found out a doctor had been using my email handle for oxytocin prescriptions and they were investigating this doctor... I explained that I had received other messages for this doctor and approximated his age and name, explained my short desirable email address, at which point the agent broke their stern professional tone and we shared a little chuckle.
Writing this sort of bot seems like a legitimately fun and interesting thing to work on, but somehow I have less than zero interest in actually doing it. There's just something intrinsically repulsive about the entire blockchain world to me where I just don't want to touch it.

I don't mean to offend people who do love blockchain tech, in many ways I don't blame you. But is this feeling I have somewhat common? I'm not even sure how to justify it.
That's correct, the drivetrain is completely separate from what you can access from the outside.
Google doesn't allow auth in a webview. The reasoning is that any application prompting you to login with a 3rd party service (ex: google/facebook/twitter/etc) in a webview can compromise the account.

Technically, they're correct - It's pretty easy to inject code into a webview you own, and it can do basically anything it likes (for example - record the username/password you just entered into the Google login page).

So Google's stance is that you need to use a browser they approve of to access your account, and if they spot a webview they tend to block it and show this message.

I'm conflicted - As someone responsible for doing security audits, their concerns are fair.

As someone who does not believe Google is operating with any vestiges of the "Do no evil" motto, this is also a very convenient way to block new entries to the browser market.

It’s because you’re not paying for your healthcare when you’re young.

Health insurance is just a tax, with the premiums going towards paying for healthcare for the sick and elderly (in the US, people 55+).

ACA specifically capped health insurance premiums for the elderly as a multiple of a 21 year old’s premiums.

Otherwise health insurance premiums for 20 year olds would be $30 a month and $3000 a month for 60 year olds.

The failure mode of authoritarian communist regimes was simple. They failed in the same way that authoritarian capitalist regimes like the Pinochet's Chilean government did: the people in power didn't care about the well-being of the general public, and so the economy ultimately collapsed because the needs of the public weren't being met. This is a problem solved by democracy.

Now, if you want to argue that there are problems with economic planning, I'm right there with you. I think that market incentives have historically been a more reliable way of running an economy, and that market socialism [1] is a much more viable alternative than a state-planned economy. But it's worth noting that it's hard to make strong claims about the consequences of economic planning when it's never been implemented in a democratic society.

Regardless, concerns about the failure modes of authoritarian communist states don't really make sense in the context of market socialism, since it involves neither authoritarianism nor economic planning.

College plans are considered "special-risk" plans and therefore aren't obliged to follow ACA guidelines at all.

Keycloak is an identity provider. It's an Oauth2/OpenIDConnect authorization server. Pomerium looks to be some kind of proxy to enforce authorization (in OAuth2 jargon, it would be a resource server).

Succinctly: Keycloak issues security tokens, Pomerium (I think) accepts security tokens.

Mapgen: Tunneling Algorithm (2014)
The bigger question that noone's asking is the cost to generate the page:

Does it take them 1 second of CPU time to generate the page?

* If not, isn't that a disproportionate amount of time for the client to do some silly throw-away work?!

* If yes, why don't they improve their infrastructure such that static pages could be properly cached as they should be, and a slightly stale versions could be served to everyone at a lower total cost than if you require even a few select users with "abnormal" parameters to solve the captchas?

At the end of the day, all these DDoS protections are placed in front of pages that by all accounts should be cacheable static pages, which should take less time to produce and consume than the repeated 5-second JavaScript captchas that they replace these static pages with.

The underlying issue is that one solution could be sold as a standalone one-size-fits-all product, but the other one can not, so, that's why we have to face daily disappointment if our browsing setup is "abnormal" in any way.
yea, it's pretty dumb
Sadly it shouldn't be considered a "loophole" as society gets an individual looking to educate themselves (since realistically you'd have to try hard enough to not get kicked out so you're bound to learn useful things) that is also health-insured. Right? That's what I think, anyway.
How the hell does this fly? Why haven't employees sued the hell out of the company?

The games industry is sickly and broken.
About half the people in my cohort were full-time employees in other companies. I was dedicated to start a startup, and I already had some prototypes that were gaining traction (gitspo.com), but wasn't set on a specific direction.

Whether it makes more sense for you to do it now or later depends on your personality and what you want to get out of the community. You will definitely have plenty of opportunities to network with potential cofounders by joining now. However, you should dedicate at least an hour (more like two) every day to attend fireside talks, dinners, etc. I feel like I bonded the most with people who participated semi regularly in all events, and it seems like the same group of people benefited the most from On Deck.

In terms of privacy, On Deck has pretty strict guidance about not publicly disclosing who are the members, unless they explicitly opt-in.

> On modern Linux, it’s possible, and not even terribly hard, to implement hardware-accelerated video playback without any libraries or frameworks, by directly consuming V4L2 API exposed by the kernel

Do you mean V4L2 M2M decoding? That's only supported on a very small subset of devices, mostly ARM devices. Other devices might use VA-API (Intel), VDPAU (NVIDIA proprietary), or something from the OpenMAX standard (some AMD drivers).

M2M is far from easy to handle in a lot of circumstances, though it depends on the kinds of devices you use. I don't really know why you're going into a screed about "sunk cost fallacy".
Except that it's not "shady practices" that caused it. It's, man buys porn on credit card, wife questions the man about it, man denies it was him, wife has the charge reversed. Then the bank stops wanting to deal with anything related to the adult industry.

What you need is a payment system that can handle transactions where the seller is honest and the buyer is flaky when the existing one is built around the opposite assumption. And if the banks can't provide that (or the existing regulatory environment doesn't allow them to) then it's good when something else fills the gap.

2) "free markets" operate on a 1-unit-of-currency/1-vote basis. If you want to go ahead and tell everyone that the rich will get their desired outcomes, just because, be my guest. Not sure that's the flavor of the month/year/decade/century.
It is age discrimination. People who were silo’d in employer plans and other lower risk pools than the general public were incensed they would have to help pay for everyone’s healthcare, so they lobbied to be exempt from ACA.

It’s a major hindrance to proper insurance mechanisms when your healthiest lives aren’t on healthcare.gov. Ideally everyone would be forced into the same marketplace subject to the same sick and healthy lives proportions so the costs are spread out evenly.
If you qualify for COBRA or Medicaid that might be a better option.

California is also an odd bird in general and a lot of their public schools didn't offer a student health plan for part time students that I could find.

It's definitely still a concern! And our community is growing (come check out our Discord [1]).

Our advantages are much more than memory usage-- it's also distributable size, low-level integration, single-process mode (no external renderer processes), GPU rasterization (and integration into custom GPU drivers), and custom modification of the library itself (most of the library is open-source and on GitHub-- it's much more amenable to "hacking" on than Chromium so it's a better fit if you need a custom HTML rendering solution than Electron).

We're still building out our desktop app runtime (AppCore) to match the API of Electron, but the low-level renderer is already finding a solid foothold inside of games (PC, macOS, and consoles) and headless server renderers.

On the one hand, I find myself surprised that a sizeable number of people seem to reach that association.

On the other hand, as a native English speaker, I understand the word to be pronounced such that it isn't much of a stretch to put it between "rapey" and "rapiest". While neither of those is, I think, particularly well established as a word in "proper" English, they are understood and used in less formal contexts (if jocularly).

I don't know where all of this leaves us.
I think this was your point but yea, I'd be more concerned that access to your doctor is contingent upon installing a specific proprietary software and accepting that software's terms of use. That's like a doctor saying you can only visit them if you drive there in a Chevrolet.

I can call my doctor using any phone I like, and E-mail her using any E-mail client I like. It is beyond unreasonable to require a patient to install specific client software in order to access care.
CEO of Starsky here. My assumption is that they won't - Waymo has a lot of inertia around trying to build full autonomy, and it working in a corner of Phoenix seems to not have convinced that that it's way too hard.

It's not general intelligence per se. Self-awareness and objective decision making are skills: a result of environment as well as individual capability.

I know lots of very intelligent people who seemingly can't apply that intelligence any time they have strong emotions about an outcome. We also know that children can be inculcated with difficulties distinguishing fiction from fact (1).

IMHO, as you mention, it's a spectrum, perhaps the equivalent of the Autistic spectrum for Emotional Reactivity Disorder. Though unlike autism or borderline personality disorder, I believe that it's a skill deficit rather than an inherent disorder of personality.

I also believe that more than half this country is suffering much more profoundly from it than we are aware.
