I shop at both and what annoys me most is when they have self-checkout lanes but they don't make them larger sections: they have a bunch of closed up register lanes, it wouldn't kill them to ditch 1 more lane or two to make a larger self-checkout lane section. Target feels like they're much more guilty of this than Walmart from past experience.

One thing that did annoy me is now after COVID Walmart employees complain if you have more than 10 items in the self-checkout lane, but there's no sign suggesting self-checkout is for a small amount of items. One lady was being loud and obnoxious about it, even when nobody was talking to her.

If Walmart and Target will let me pay from an app and just walk up to a machine to print out my receipt, I'd be using their app a lot more. I don't even care about having to bag up my stuff, I got my own bags for groceries in my car already. I guess the trickery is for grocery items that must be weighed.
I believe what OP was trying to express is that they think vaginal intercourse with a minor should also always require registration regardless of the circumstances.

Instead of making it possible for LGBT+ people to be exempt, they want to make it so heterosexual people cannot be exempt.
I don’t understand your logic. People take out loans all the time to get community college degrees. Those loans are federally backed. So the increase in credit would indeed inflate community college costs.
It can do both, but I believe you need hardware flow control working to get proper interrupt behavior for that. I don't think any mice actually did it that way back in the day.

For those who aren't aware of Pinkerton's history, from wikipedia:

>One of the first union busting agencies was the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, which came to public attention as the result of a shooting war that broke out between strikers and three hundred Pinkerton agents during the Homestead Strike of 1892. When the Pinkerton agents were withdrawn, state militia forces were deployed. The militia repulsed attacks on the steel plant, and prevented violence against strikebreakers crossing picket lines, causing a decisive defeat of the strike, and ended the power of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers at the Homestead plant.

Unions don't end up with outright control over business. Generally speaking, companies and unions do continue to negotiate throughout the term of a contract, which negotiations are formalized in Memoranda of Understanding. And during contract negotiations, if negotiations over a particular issue stall, the law empowers companies to make a "last and final" offer, which is then included in the contract presented to the workforce.
(This is U.S.-specific.)

The idea that a company must "agree to every demand" from a union seems to me a strawman. Bargaining ideally maximizes net value, and true collapses in bargaining are rare.

"Outrageous" demands that are met, therefore, represent a company's unwillingness to reallocate the value of those demands towards other contract elements (that is, to say "we can't do that, but we'll offer this instead"). If they were truly too costly, the company would have either a) refused the terms, or b) failed to bear the cost and gone under.

Speaking of CERN at home, the Fusor Forum [0] is a good place to visit. It's a community for fusor experimenters - a fusor is basically a glow discharge tube, but capable of achieving nuclear fusion. It's not an easy project, but has been extensively documented, and it's potentially doable by anyone with dedication.

A class of more difficult projects is particle accelerators. Many people built fusors, but fewer people had built electrostatic and linear accelerators. In addition to technical difficulties, X-ray hazards from an accelerator is much greater than a fusor.

Cyclotrons are the hardest, a successful build is extremely rare. Experimenters reported that there were still considerable difficulties even with access to a college lab. In 2010, there was a "Small Cyclotron Conference" [1] - a meetup event for experimenters to share experience. It featured many fascinating presentations, make sure to see [2][3][4].

Just tried it.

On integrated graphics (Intel HD 620) (batch size 1000):

- was able to train a simple dense network, but no speed up over just doing CPU training on the same processor (i3-7100U)

- ResNet style architecture failed on the same HD 620 with "LLVM ERROR: SPIRV internal error: Invalid magic number"

On a machine with NVidia GPU (batch size 1000):

- unlike Intel GPU, ResNet trained without any errors (so it might have been Intel driver issue)

- using DirectML came out about 3 times faster, than CPU of the machine (i7-8700K)

- using DirectML came out about 12 times slower, than using regular tensorflow-gpu with CUDA

So far mixed feelings, but I am excited to see how it runs on AMD GPUs, and on Windows on ARM64 (e.g. Surface X).

P.S. I run
https://github.com/losttech/Gradient-Samples/tree/master/Fas...
and
https://github.com/losttech/Gradient-Samples/tree/master/Res...

had to add "batch_size: 1000" to the fit call to see speedups over CPU.
This seems like a pretty helpful educational tool — you could sprinkle it in a project's documentation to help clarify the exact formulas being used.

I could also imagine people using this if they aren't that comfortable with LaTeX and want an easier way to write it. They could just write out their formulas with Python, call @handcalc() to get the string output, then post it in their tex documents.
I think this is where a lot of people get angry and something "the other side" doesn't understand. Much of this is about the punishment not fitting the crime. It isn't about "no punishment" or "letting everyone go in absolute anarchy" but rather that a non-violent pot dealer shouldn't be beat up. Jail? Sure, because that's the law (even if I don't agree with the law and wish to change it). But I can think of VERY few instances where beating up a criminal would be acceptable in a civilized society. Punishment should be focused around minimal harm done (with a goal of 0 harm) and a path forward to reduce chance or relapse of that behavior.

Yep, this kind of terrifies me. The human mind has an incredible capacity for suffering. An emulated mind might have many orders of magnitude higher capacity for suffering, on top of being effectively immortal. At least the human mind will die after 80 or 90 years or so.

> One thing I'm curious about is the RTX IO feature. The slide said it supports DirectStorage for Windows, but is there an equivalent to this for Linux? I'm hoping someone with a little more insight or an Nvidia employee may have some more information.

I haven't been able to find any real technical details about what DirectStorage really is, but my expectations are that it will consist of:

1. An asynchronous IO API allowing for low-overhead submission of IO requests from the application to the kernel, including batch submissions and reaping of completion events.

2. Some provision for transparent compression offload, either to the GPU or to a CPU-based fallback

3. Optional support for peer-to-peer DMA transfers of data from SSD to the GPU's VRAM

Linux is already the gold standard for (1) with the relatively recent io_uring API, and has support for (3) to some extent (P2P DMA has been a fairly obscure feature until recently).

There are still some pretty big unanswered questions about DirectStorage. How well will it reduce the IO overhead that currently allows antivirus and other programs to hook into the IO stack? Will it be compatible with non-Microsoft NVMe drivers, including Intel's RST drivers that are commonly used for their software RAID? Microsoft doesn't seem to want to make that kind of information public this year.

Consider the argument: "Tastier" doesn't bring to mind any associations with "Tasty" because we don't pronounce "Tastier" as "Tasty". Bad argument, right?

Was just talking about quantum cognition and memristors (in context to GIT) a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24317768

Quantum cognition:

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

It may yet be possible to sufficiently functionally emulate the mind with (orders of magnitude more) transistors. Though, is it necessary to emulate e.g. autonomic functions? Do we consider the immune system to be part of the mind (and gut)?

Perhaps there's something like an amplituhedron - or some happenstance correspondence - that will enable more efficient simulation of quantum systems on classical silicon pending orders of magnitude increases in coherence and also error rate in whichever computation medium.

For abstract formalisms (which do incorporate transistors as a computation medium sufficient for certain tasks), is there a more comprehensive set than Constructor Theory?

What is the universe using our brains to compute? Is abstract reasoning even necessary for this job?

I also figured that out by searching, but what does it mean in context? I.e. what is the significance of talking to people at that level vs one above or below, and why, given limited ad space, would you include this detail?

You could try to figure this out by trying to map out all of amazon and see how far away from Bezos your “stakeholders” are, but so what?

It’s a signal that tells some

Because they have European immigrants (like me) who are more than willing to explain to Americans what exactly leftist ideas mean in practice, and how much of it is false advertising.

The way to handle something like this is to turn the "surprised and driven away" into "prepared and motivated to solve it," which is what the anecdote conveyed^1. You give players tools to counter-act negative outcomes, and, in the case of social media, you do your best to make tools which amplify truth, signal, and positivity.

Suicide-ganking sounds like it needed something like a cooldown timer on picking up loot in high sec.

^1 Trying to move the conversation back into the useful territory - I'll concede the anecdote is likely to be wrong, since you know more about EVE than I do.
I'd argue that we are under less control if we aren't trusting, unless you are implying we continue to trust the government while distrusting each other. If we don't blindly follow the government, then we would be more likely to resist their rule.

Also, even if the rational choice is to not trust anyone, that doesn't make it the reasonable choice. I think many people would make the reasonable choice to "trust but verify".
Not limited to Android. On iOS for example Safari loading some ads or whatever causes so much input lag that the keyboard can't keep up and mangles the input completely.

They’re responding to the claim that “the price has gone up because students are responsible for more of the cost“ which is in the post above them. If the true cause of the increase was a drop in state funding, you’d expect other schools to not change in price very much.
A big reason college costs have increased is due to students who pay in full are subsidizing students who cannot, or get a completely free ride.
Ah yes, of course. Sorry, I wasn't thinking clearly, just had the usual UI loop and regular interaction with a computer in mind, you are 100% right, audio should have a very high priority. Nothing more annoying than dropouts. Incidentally, the way most OSs deal with that is by having very large audio buffers which in turn will give you terrible latency. On a hard real time OS you could reduce the size of those buffers quite a bit because you can guarantee they are filled (and emptied) regularly.
